> What does Postman offer?

Good clients of this sort (Postman, yes, but also its competitors) will often offer some mix of:

- Better secrets management (they don't end up in your shell history); not necessarily encrypted but usually something like an internal .env file

- Organization into folders

- Sharing and collaboration with teammates

- Import/export to/from external API specs

- Recording example responses, both successes and failures

- The ability to chain together several requests with data passed them them (e.g. create new user, login as that user, fetch a request as that user, validate response contains json.data.blah_blah[0].blahblah

- Export/import to and from curl commands, JS fetch calls, etc.

- All of that in a GUI that is easy to use and teach

They are invaluable if you have teams working together on API designs or testing. They can be very helpful for quickly tinkering with and debugging API responses without having to write a bunch of unit tests or scripts (where you might not necessarily want the overhead of dealing with curl commands manually or writing basic HTTP calls over and over in a programming language).

It's really a big time saver... in the teams that I've been on, it lets us create folders full of actual API endpoint examples to give to frontend devs who can see what the backend is supposed to do when it succeeds, along with example responses for different failure states. It makes developing a functional app a lot easier than trying to parse all that out from a shitty Confluence page or whatever.

Or an alternative approach: only compile the subset of features you explicitly need.

Obviously there’s a ton of variance in how practical this is any place, but it’s less common than it should be.
When enough ppl visibly leave and have real concerns, they can be in touch in exile, and all break NDA in synchrony.

If the stakes are as high as some believe, I presume ppl don't actually care about getting sued when they believe they're helping humanity avert existential crisis.
Because a time share is not an asset, it's a liability. It is sold as "ownership" but in fact it is an obligation to pay for a vacation rental in perpetuity, except that "rent" is called "maintenance fees". It is a scam pure and simple, and no one in their right mind would ever buy one at any price.
He openly admitted to multiple people he killed her and had her property in his possession. Do you think that it was impossible to have burden of proof prior to DNA or something? Who admits to killing somebody while having their property in their possession if they didn't do it? The average person would probably accept just admitting it multiple times to be beyond a reasonable doubt, but adding on the possession of the murder victim's property just pushes it further.
I didn't ignore any more context than you did, but just I want to acknowledge the irony that "context" (specifically, here, any sort of memory that isn't in the text context window) is exactly what is lacking with these models.

For example, even the dumbest dog has a memory, a strikingly advanced concept model of the world [1], a persistent state beyond the last conversation history, and an ability to reason (that doesn't require re-running the same conversation sixteen bajillion times in a row). Transformer models do not. It's really cool that they can input and barf out realistic-sounding text, but let's keep in mind the obvious truths about what they are doing.

[1] "I like food. Something that smells like food is in the square thing on the floor. Maybe if I tip it over food will come out, and I will find food. Oh no, the person looked at me strangely when I got close to the square thing! I am in trouble! I will have to do it when they're not looking."
Unfortunately, the statistical output does not match the input.The evidence shows women receive lighter sentences for the same crime. Also, more attractive people receive shorter sentences etc.

None of it says good things about human nature, facts are facts though.
> What I will tell you is that, pending their legal claims and litigation against WordPress.org, WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org’s resources.

Since when has WP Engine been threatening litigation against WordPress.org or the WordPress Foundation? Their C&D letter [0] was only addressed to Automattic Inc.

Perhaps it has to do with the claims of trademark infringement in the counter-C&D letter [1]? But that letter was sent only in the name of Automattic Inc. and WooCommerce, Inc., despite the WordPress Foundation being the ultimate owner of the trademark.

In a past life, I used this pattern in hadoop mapreduce clusters. A job would do "small-data" sql queries locally to pull configs, maps of facts related to the business domain, then pack them into sqlite db files and ship them up with the job. Hadoop already has a process called "job localization" where it can download files sent up with the job down to the PWD of the mapper/reducer. And then the mapper/reducer can use it read-only while doing big-data things.
In some RDBMS a foreign key will automatically create an index:

I think this falls under the read the documentation fully point.

Edit: It occurs to me you likely meant on the column itself rather than on the referenced column. I don't have an example that does that.
When the board fires the CEO and the CEO reverses the decision, that is the coup.

We got a great new word for it now: "slop" (as in, "AI-generated slop").

It can be human generated as well, and the key point is exactly as you wrote it -- it only exists to sell ads around it and has minimal or even negative (wrong or outdated information, poor reasoning, etc.) nutritional value.
How is there any discrepancy in accuracy? Isn’t it just a matter of following the spec?

The introduction alone cites 12 other human / animal studies.

I don't see why this paper necessarily contradicts your hypothesis (setting aside the fact that evidence of surgery curing tinnitus is not present at the link you included). In fact, later in your link:

Just wanted link this story here about OpenAI removing non-profit control and giving Sam Altman equity [1]. I think that's actually the more interesting news about OpenAI today, and seems to have been lost amidst the drama of Mira leaving. And also seems quite possible that this could be the reason for Mira leaving.

Sounds like you need to get a new job where you can use Linux. (For reference, I'm typing this at work, on a Linux laptop.)
In my previous job, I've worked on a project that requires disassembling large amounts of x86/amd64 instructions (several billion instructions each running is very common). I've found also that Zydis is much faster than Capstone.
I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the assertion that older code has fewer vulnerabilities either. It feels like there could be explanations other than age for the discrepancy.

For example: maybe the engineers over the last several years have focused on rewriting the riskiest parts in a MSL, and were less likely to change the lower risk old code.

Or… maybe there was a process or personnel change that led to more defects.

With that said, it does seem plausible to me that any given bug has a probability of detection per unit of time, and as time passes fewer defects remain to be found. And as long as your maintainers fix more vulnerabilities than they introduce, sure, older code will have fewer and the ones that remain are probably hard to find.
It is exciting to see progress in this space and new ways of thinking infrastructure, kudos to everyone!!

My only hope is that we learned and we don't end up managing things like GH repositories or Pagerduty schedules.
We love it. Can move on to the other two hundred problems to work on.

Including where CNE will go next; logic and web bugs.
A simulation of a space mission on the ground with a satellite that will eventually be in space.

Take your satellite, replace it's navigation/communication inputs with ones generated by a reasonably high fidelity real time physical simulation. Feed it's outputs back into said simulation. Ensure the satellite does the right things at the right time.
That seems to let you call C functions from Racket, but I don't see how it lets you embed Racket in a C program and call Racket functions from C. So it's at best half a solution, unless I'm missing something.
10x relative to what? I’ve seen bad developers use AI to 10x their productivity but they still couldn’t come anywhere close to a good developer without AI (granted, this was at a hackathon on pretty advanced optimization research. Maybe there’s more impact on lower skilled tasks)

> [...] GNU/MIT Scheme is what you want to follow along with MIT publications working in Scheme (like Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics, and The Art of the Propagator).

Definitely, though I suspect if you need a language that's exactly what's written in the text, you are probably missing the point? At least for SICP, I haven't looked into the others as closely. (Part of) the point being learning wider concepts.

I almost feel like you get more out of the book, if you do the exercises in a mix of JavaScript and Python. Not because those are better languages, just the opposite: because it forces you to understand the concepts well enough to translate them.

Similar to when Andrei Karpathy left Tesla. Tesla was on the verge of 'solving FSD' and unlocking trillions of $ of revenue (and mind you, this was already 3 years after the CEO said that they will have 1 million robotaxis on the road by the year's end).

Guess what ? Tesla is still on the verge of 'solving FSD'. And most probably it will be in the same place for the next 10 years.

That's not quite correct. An out of court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted therein is always hearsay. The exceptions given in that Wikipedia article are not exceptions to it being hearsay. They are exceptions to the rule that hearsay is not admissible.

> The defendant in a criminal case is always available, so any statement they make out of court is never hearsay.

That's also not quite correct. A declarant is considered to be unavailable for example if they refuse to testify about the subject matter despite the court ordering them to. They are also considered to be unavailable if they testify that they cannot remember the subject matter. See rule 804(a) of the Federal Rules of Evidence for the criteria for being unavailable.

(I'm using FRE because that seems to be what others are using. Really though we should be using Missouri's rules of evidence. I think most state's rules of evidence are fairly close to the FRE so that's probably reasonable).
Even if it turns out that the only application of this is to show ads (which will not be the case), the hardware alone is a monumental achievement of engineering.

I would love to see ads on these, at least once. In contrast, I've never had any interest to even try Apple's VR headset. This is one of the most well-put v1 products ever.

To be fair she was also one of the employees who signed the letter to the board demanding that Altman be reinstated or she would leave the company.
Yes. It can converse perfectly normal in German. However when quizzed about German idioms it hallucinates them (in fluent German). Though that's the kind of stuff even larger models often have trouble with. For example if you ask GPT 4 about jokes in German it will give you jokes that depend on word play that only works when translated to English. In normal conversation Llama seems to speak fluent German

For Ancient Greek I just asked it (in German) to translate its previous answer to Ancient Greek, and the answer looks like Greek and according to google translate is a serviceable translation. However Llama did add a cheeky "Πηγή: Google Translate" at the end (Πηγή means source). I know little about the differences between ancient and modern Greek, but it did struggle to translate modern terms like "climate change" or "Hawaii" and added them as annotations in brackets. So I'll assume it at least tried to use Ancient Greek.

However it doesn't like switching language mid-conversation. If you start a conversation in German and after a couple messages switch to English it will understand you but answer in German. Most models switch to answering in English in that situation
> Given the entirety of the program made available to the compiler all at once, there are high level derivations that can happen notably through flow analysis to let the compiler make better decisions. But do that in an interactive environment when the rug can be pulled out of any of the assumption the compiler made, and things get messy quite quickly.

Haskell's GHC does quite well with its 'ghci' interactive environment. GHC is a compiler first and foremost, and as far as I can tell, ghci works by compiling each line you give it one by one? (But even in ghci, you have to abide by the type system of Haskell, so that might help.)

The Common Lisps were always pretty good at combining compiled and interpreted parts, even in the same program. And I think OCaml also does a good job of combining the two approaches?

what happens to your estate if you die with a timeshare? does it just have to stay in probate forever while they take out a management fee every month?
> How did it get there?

It's explained already. That you don't know and are asking this question really means you didn't spend any time researching the case. Maybe if you were going to kill someone, you would do more research, don't you think?

Like how Missouri said it needed to do more research before killing him?

And then before the group designated to do that could render a conclusion, they were disbanded and then he was killed?

Meaning, Missouri said "We don't know enough about this and should research further, but instead of reading the results, we are just going to kill someone?"

So real the question is: why do you support the government killing someone they say they need more information on before killing them but deciding to kill them anyways?
Pretty cool.

But I'm interested to see when they release these - how non-tech people will react. Anecdotally it seems computer/internet based technology is increasingly becoming more rejected by regular people. It seems people are so sick of the internet and screens that the idea of a new screen would be so nauseating figuratively and literally that wide adoption would be unlikely. As in - these big consumer facing tech companies like Meta have created addictive software, to the point where people don't even want to use their software but feel an impulse to or have nothing better to do because we have created a world in which screens are a way of life. Surely there must be a limit to the amount of digital drugs someone can take before they become sick.

I'm not very bullish on new internet based consumer technology. Technology in other areas like transportation, energy, and manufacturing seem to be the way the next billionaires will make their money. I wonder how long the screen based social experiment will last before either societal upheaval or a mass rejection of new technology.
How the brain processes the number zero
Researchers locate neurons in the brain that respond to '0' is in same region as neurons that respond to '1', '2', etc. The empty set (nothing) is apparently encoded differently.
It's just a wrapper around LLVM. So any project would be forced to ship also the corresponding LLVM version, if it's not present on the system - e.g. for Windows or embedded applications. A bit too much for a simple disassembler. So it's not a direct replacement for Capstone.
Nothing strange at all about it. It's just how thugs operate.
These are some thicc glasses.
We're getting close, but saying we're there of "regular" glasses is a stretch.

Not at all. I do think people should share their beliefs even when other people don't like them, and other people should be tolerant of that. But the reality is some of those other people will try to hurt you for expressing a belief they don't agree with.

It depends on your definition of privacy. There's a lot of people who would argue that you don't have a right to privacy in a public setting. And there's a lot of nuance here depending on the state (assuming US).

I'm not a fan of the data being in the hands of a large corporation, but I AM a fan of more video recordings that are not government owned (cough London, Beijing, etc) that helps shine one more light of accountability on the "powers that be".

Imagine this: Nearly 70% of internet users face geo-restrictions that keep them from accessing content they want. It’s frustrating, right? That's where UK IP proxy services come in, providing a lifeline for anyone looking to bypass barriers and maintain online privacy. If you’re keen on accessing UK-specific content or safeguarding your online activities, you’re in the right place. Let’s unravel the world of UK IP proxies and find the perfect solution for you.

Unblock UK Content Effortlessly
UK proxy services enable you to sidestep geo-restrictions with ease. By routing your internet traffic through a UK IP address, you unlock a treasure trove of streaming services, websites, and platforms that are often locked away from users outside the UK. Want to catch up on the latest BBC series? A UK proxy will get you there in no time!

Access US Content from the UK
On the flip side, if you’re in the UK and craving access to US-based content, a UK to US proxy has you covered. It effortlessly navigates regional restrictions, allowing you to enjoy websites and services that typically aren’t available to you.

Elevate Your Security with Socks5 Proxies
For those who prioritize online privacy, UK Socks5 proxies are your go-to choice. They offer robust anonymity and security—essential for activities where confidentiality is key. With a UK Socks5 proxy, you can easily protect your online actions while accessing restricted content.
Harness the Power of UK Residential Proxies
UK residential proxies offer a genuine online identity, making them perfect for market research, ad verification, or web scraping. They allow you to engage with UK websites as a real user would, without raising any red flags. Need to conduct ad checks or collect data? These proxies are your best ally.

Unlock UK Shopping with Proxy Services
Ever faced the “UK customers only” barrier while shopping online? UK proxy shopping services can help you bypass that. They allow you to shop from UK-based stores as if you were physically present. No more missed deals!

Navigating the World of Proxy Services
Let’s talk about the different types of proxies available. Whether you're in the market for residential, mobile, or datacenter proxies, each option has unique benefits. Residential proxies are ideal for anonymity, while datacenter proxies offer speed and affordability. Mobile proxies are increasingly vital for accessing services tailored for smartphones.

Choosing Between Free and Paid Proxies
You might be tempted to opt for free proxies, but tread carefully! Free services can be riddled with limitations and security risks. Investing in a paid service often pays off in terms of reliability, speed, and enhanced security. Always choose a reputable provider that offers the best balance of quality and cost.

Finding Your Perfect UK Proxy
If you’re ready to dive in, the first step is identifying your needs. Do you require a proxy for web scraping, streaming, or accessing restricted services? Once you've nailed that down, you can explore options ranging from dedicated UK IP addresses to residential and mobile solutions tailored to your requirements.
