'dope park' might not be a clear term. I think you mean excellent parks, but my mind immediately went to parks where you might accidentally step on a hypodermic needle.

My town has both types of parks, with a little overlap in the venn diagram.
For Mac, I use `security set-generic-password` and `security find-generic-password` to manage secrets using Keychain.

Inspiration here: https://gist.github.com/bmhatfield/f613c10e360b4f27033761bbe...

Then you can share a dotfile that includes:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=$(keychain-environment-variable OPENAI_API_KEY)

And share/set the variable in Keychain.

Changing for the better? Really? Facebook under Zuckerberg has done plenty of predatory things, such as track users across non-Facebook websites, create shadow profiles for people who don't even have accounts, conduct studies to try to make the platform as addictive as possible, and sold access to peoples' private messages revealed in the the infamous Cambridge Analytica scandal

While not completely reliable, a lot of high pressure sales tactics are one pretty good flag. At least around where I live the residential solar scammers are back to knocking on doors again--in addition to being camped out at the big box hardware stores.

Commitments, in general, are also just something to be wary of. Whenever I've considered buying a small urban property to complement my rural house, I lie down and contemplate this thing called hotels as an alternative--which are a heck of a lot more flexible in many ways.

Multimodal generally refers to _just_ two (or more) modes. Omni-modal was invented by OpenAI to describe their approach. I'm sure Anthropic is working on something similar to gpt-4o but I don't see how that invalidates my argument about anthropic doing well on benchmarks. In particular because their model was released several months _before_ gpt-4o and still holds its own fairly well.

Everything that happened after we left Substack
Ever since Platformer left Substack in January, readers have been asking us how it’s been going. Today, in keeping with our annual tradition of anniversary posts (here are one, two, and three), I’ll answer that question — and share some other observations on the state of independent media over the past year.

Not paying taxes while losing money sounds like fraud to you?

What do you propose should be taxed, exactly?
If the streaming platforms cared strongly about this problem they could have addressed it already, so I'm not confident they'll use LLMs effectively to do it without making the problem (or at least edge cases) even worse somehow. I think it would take a different business goal driving their algorithms to, for example, stop playing MF DOOM for 8 songs in a row under different aliases.
I just tried @bmon's curl examples above with 100 byte requests. Similar results. I think the Cloudflare explanation is more likely.
The place I work has a list of security guidelines that is, like, ten pages long and full of links to more detailed explanations.

The exact advice depends on how you’re running your services. My starting advice, for cloud, is this:

1. Run in multiple, separate accounts. Don’t put everything in one account. This could be as simple as having a beta account for testing and a separate production account.

2. Use cloud-based permissions systems when possible. For example, if you are running something on AWS Lambda, you create an IAM role for the Lambda to run as and manage permissions by granting them to the IAM role.

3. If that’s not possible, put your credentials in some kind of secrets management system. Create a process to rotate the secret on a schedule. I’d say 90 days is fine if you have to rotate it manually. If you can rotate it automatically, rotate it every 24 hours.

4. Set up logging systems like CloudTrail so you can see events afterwards.

Finally, as a note—people at your company should always authenticate as themselves. If you are TheBigDuck234, then you access your cloud resources using a TheBigDuck234 account, always.

This is just the start of things.

Small question to anyone with this workflow. Do you (re)run CI on every affected commit? If no, what is the point of small commits if you lose any guarantees? I much prefer the honest linear non-modified history.
No, it's not at the moment. Sorry!

The most useful part is doing set intersection operations on JSON array's. Probably the second is extracting a value by path across both.

It's not crazy to implement, SQLite was the harder side. Just a bit of fiddling with `json_each`, EXISTS, and aggregate functions.
You might enjoy 'Children of Ruin' by Adrian Tchaikovsky, which explores this idea in depth with a civilization of genetically modified, super-intelligent octopuses. (Though I'd start with the first book in the series, 'Children of Time')
> As I've noted elsewhere, you can't even safely use `char` for file names in Windows; it should be `wchar_t` in order to avoid any encoding problem.

Yes, this is true. But I think the overhead of writing that kind of code would not be as enormous as 30k lines or anything in that order.

> At the very least it should have checked for TTY in advance. I'm not even interested in terminfo (which should go die).

Maybe. It's an explicit option you must pass. It's often useful to be able to override isatty decisions when you want to embed terminal escapes in output to something like less. But for clear it's debatable.

I would say it's fine as it is.

Also, if isatty is "the very least" what else do you propose?

> Agreed that "spamming" is a real problem, provided that you don't treat any amount of color as spamming.

I treat any amount of color as spamming when alternative options exist. Colours are useful for: syntax highlighting, additional information from ls. Not for telling you that a new line of text is available for you to read in your terminal.

There are many things where colours are completely superfluous but are not over-used. I still think that colours should be the exception not the rule.

> Cargo-watch was strictly designed for Cargo users, which would obviously want to watch some Cargo workspace. Entr just happens to be not designed for this use case. And jq is much larger than entr, so you should instead consider the size of entr + jq by that logic.

Yes jq is larger than entr. But it's not 3.9M SLOC. It also has many features that cargo-watch doesn't. If you wanted something cargo specific you could just write something specific to that in not very much code at all. The point is that the combination of jq and entr can do more than cargo-watch with less code.

> and JSON is already known for its sloppily worded standard and varying implementation [1]. That's what is actually required.

I hope you can agree that no number of millions of lines of code can fix JSON being trash. What would solve JSON being trash is if people stopped using it. But that's also not going to happen. So we are just going to have to deal with JSON being trash.

> And for this part, you would be correct if I didn't say the "faithful" reproduction. I'm totally sure that some thousand lines of Rust code should be enough to deliver a functionally identical program, but that's short of the faithful reproduction. This faithfulness issue actually occurs in many comparisons between Rust and C/C++; even the simple "Hello, world!" program does a different thing in Rust and in C because Rust panics when it couldn't write the whole text for example. 50K is just a safety margin for such subtle differences. (I can for example imagine some Unicode stuffs around...)

Regardless of all the obstacles. I put my money on 20k max in rust with everything vendored including writing your own windows bindings.

But neither of us has time for that.
I think the existence of biological general intelligence is a proof-by-existence for artificial general intelligence. But at the same time, I don't think LLM and similar techniques are likely in the evolutionary path of artificial general intelligence, if it ever comes to exist.
Ask HN: Why aren't you solving real problems?
We live in an age of mass inequality. Many are sleeping in the streets. Tent villages have popped up all over the country. Many more live in their cars.

That seems completely unmanageable to me (though, clearly not to you). Between picking up/dropping off my daughter, (food) shopping, making meals, going out to dinner, and so many other things; I'd fine it impossible to schedule a week straight where I could commit to responding within several minutes.

Honestly, I wouldn't feel comfortable asking anyone on my team to do it either. In my mind, if you're on call, then you're working (because you're committed to working being a priority over your personal life during that time). Which means the person should be paid for the entire time, and a week straight seems unreasonable.
Ok, one step up then, why should it be illegal?
What are you basing your talking point on? Immigration is the lowest it's been since covid when no one wanted to come here. I already explained, protective custody started only when children immigrated unaccompanied. So, every kid was put in a cage in Trump's plan -- ripped from their parents custody regardless, because of the racist premise that immigrants are evil. If you can't acknowledge the difference between an unaccompanied minor and a family immigrating, I'm beginning to think you are not discussing this in good faith.

Also, immigration is as low as when Trump was botching covid because Harris improved root causes in Central and South America. She helped negotiate a bill endorsed by Border Patrol that would have put 1500 more agents at the border which very much would have helped. Trump called his buddies in Congress and killed it so he could run on it instead of fixing it. He actively chose more human trafficking for his own political benefit.

Trump is a fraud.

I’ve recently become a Zotero user. I’m liking the mobile support in the iOS ecosystem. Jabref highlights search and discovery in the docs. Does anyone have opinions on how that compares to the other apps?
Reasoning, just like intelligence (of which it is part) isn't an all or nothing capability. o1 can now reason better than before (in a way that is more useful in some contexts than others), but it's not like a more basic LLM can't reason at all (i.e. generate an output that looks like reasoning - copy reasoning present in the training set), or that o1's reasoning is human level.

From the benchmarks it seems like o1-style reasoning-enhancement works best for mathematical or scientific domains where it's a self-consistent axiom-driven domain such that combining different sources for each step works. It might also be expected to help in strict rule-based logical domains such as puzzles and games (wouldn't be surprising to see it do well as a component of a Chollet ARC prize submission).
Chunked encoding is pretty easy no? Just write the full size and \r\n, you can send as one chunk.

It does mean you have to read the client's headers to see if it was requested, though.
More specifically, as I understand it their professional organizations have lobbied quite hard to prevent the training of enough new doctors to reduce the need for them to work long hours.

The long hours themselves aren't the goal, they're a side effect of the artificial barriers put up intended to keep pay high.
Altman Inc seems sufficient enough
Adam Savage has a most excellent rant about the outrageous arrogance of the phrase, "Why don't you just..." I highly recommend it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP4CKn86qGY

My best example of this is my father-in-law. He's an absolutely wonderful man, generous to a fault and all of that. Fancies himself a handyman. But I had to stop asking for his help with around-the-house projects out of sheer anger and frustration because every SINGLE time I made a decision about how to proceed with the job or pick which tool to use to cut something, he would stop and and ask, "Well, why don't you just do X instead?"

It didn't seem to matter if I explained my reasoning, or if doing X meant redoing a hour of work just to get back to where we currently were. I even attempted to humor him by trying things his way whether or not they were going to work out. (They often didn't). Eventually it ended in me saying "no" way more often than "yes" and he would infer that I was refusing his help and he'd throw his hands up and walk away.
Increased pay. Long shifts tend to command a premium. Also if demand happens to be low and you manage to take a little nap, you're being effectively paid for your sleep time.

Rust in Linux: Progress, pitfalls, & why devs and maintainers need each other
For myself, my blog and GitHub activity were key points in my interviews that heavily influenced my previous two hires.

> Also I can't decide what to write about, and whether to make it more nerdy or more professional.

Personally, I use my blog to write about:

- Niche things I run into that I want to document for myself

- Things I’m working on that I think are cool

- Opinions on why I do things a certain way

I love reading other blogs that orbit around this type of content. One suggestion I would make is to focus on writing your blog for yourself instead of a fictional audience. That way your blog’s value is self-contained, rather than worrying about the value other people get out of it.

Good luck!

Meh, I get people hate Jira, but every time I ask people "What would you rather do instead" there's absolutely no agreement on what's a better solution.

I think it's imoprtant to recognize that if a whole crowd of people say "We hate X" but everybody in that crowd hates eachothers proposals even more, it just creates a facade of agreement where there is none.

> One could say, "This didn't age well."

It has aged well, particularly because Randall explains that LLMs have made this even worse.

His main point is this (I'm quoting him):

The key idea still very much stands though. Understanding the difference between easy and hard challenges in software development continues to require an enormous depth of experience.

I'd argue that LLMs have made this even worse.

Understanding what kind of tasks LLMs can and cannot reliably solve remains incredibly difficult and unintuitive.

Do you have more information on this?

Not my field, but I have a hard time believing surgeons and doctors want to work to the point of burnout.

That was created with the intention of being integrated into a very large C++ codebase.

I do agree that they could do more. I find it kind of wild that they haven’t copied Zig’s cross compilation story for example. But this stuff being just fine instead of world class is more of a lack of vision and direction than a hostility towards the idea. Indifference is not malice.

Also, you seem to be ignoring the crabi work, which is still not a thing, of course, but certainly isn’t “actively hostile towards non-c ABIs”.

> A newly identified wasp species, Chrysonotomyia susbelli, has been discovered in Houston, Texas, marking the 18th new species identified by Rice University's Scott Egan and his research team since 2014. The discovery, the fourth wasp species found on the university grounds in seven years, reveals the hidden world of parasitoid wasps and the intricate ecosystems that thrive outside our doors.

A nice illustration of how much we still don't know about insects. There are around 7 000 new insect species found every year. Entomologists estimate that there are around 10 000 000 undiscovered insect species.

I read a great popular science book on insects [1] (well, I listened to the audiobook edition...does that count as reading it?), and the author said that every summer he put traps to catch flying insects outside his New England house, and nearly every summer he would find insects that were not yet known to science. He'd even find parasitic wasps, the type of insect he was one of the world's foremost experts on, that were not yet known to science.

When it comes to discovering new insect species it seems the hard part is not actually finding them. To do that you just have to regularly capture insects. You don't even have to go to some exotic place that humans have rarely visited--your backyard is probably good enough.

The hard part is recognizing that one of the ones you captured is not one of the 1 000 000 species already known.

You can actually run GPON and XGSPON simultaneously over the same PON segment as they use different wavelengths of light, so there is no reason to rip out all the GPON nodes at the same time. This allows deferring the truck roll and ONT costs until the customer upgrades to higher speeds.

With DOCSIS there is much more pressure to upgrade all CPE as any given chunk of RF spectrum can only run one version of DOCSIS. One 6MHz channel of RF spectrum on coax has a puny amount of bandwidth compared to a single lambda on fibre.
