This does remind me a bit of a personal knowledge management solution that has (fairly) recently gone out of beta, AnyType [0], as that too was sometimes referred to as an "operating system for the new internet" and received similarly skeptical reception. Seen them refine the concept into a more rounded project, since the closed alpha, that has been rather successful in the PKM space, though the end product never fully fit my personal use cases.

From previous projects [1] (during which I merely made some minor modifications to a pre-existing FOSS project and took a look at the code of different "web-desktops" codebases), I get how much goes on under the hood of any desktop-like interface running in JS, so seeing one that also integrates handling the tabs of the "host browser" is immensely impressive, though of course I understand those highlighting the inefficiencies such an approach can bring.

I very much appreciate the appearance, especially the subtle use of glass like transparency on window borders and the way third-parties like Soundcloud seem to be embedded.

I will have to agree with some commenters that perhaps the privacy promise should be made more clear as to what the current state is. I understand that implementation takes time, but to build trust, being as transparent as possible from the start is invaluable.

Furthermore, I see potential for this project, perhaps with a bit of tunnel vision due to me being immersed in the space, in the PKM field, as there, despite web-first applications being the norm, there is still a hole that I feel could be filled concerning making open tabs as part of an active project directly accessible and manageable, rather than needing to import web pages, then switch to the application, as is the case with most current solutions like MyMind [2]. Especially, as there must be people other than myself whose PKM does necessitate actively using roughly 100 tabs at a time...

Additionally, if I may, perhaps the potential would have become more clear to some on here if you had linked the learn section [3] in your original post. It doesn't appear accessible on the homepage either, which is a shame, because that gave me a far better idea of the project in its entirety. Especially the search implementation showcased there has potential depending on the execution and should, in my opinion, be something you highlight on the homepage too.

Lastly, I want to mention that you are doing a great job taking the occasionally a bit harsh, but generally fair reaction the HN crowd can have to showcases on the chin. That takes maturity and professionalism, especially on a passion project.

Great! Now let's apply this to ads and notifications!
Yeah, beneath the planetary crust is asking a lot.

Probably didn't want to settle for less but you take what you can get . . .
That is not evidence for your claim.

I don't think you even know what your claim is.
No, not with adjustable rating. The best human-like engine is fairymax, but its Elo is estimated between 1700-2000.
> A fair chunk of their output (that I saw) was commentary on other stuff (performers/performances/other) which is pretty much commodity content for easy consumption, not really art¹.

In what way is this excluded from being art? These are overlapping categories.

I do get your point. However, this might be incidental to the art they want to produce rather than central to their project.
That's fair and I appreciate that detail even without having followed the link in the original article. But while not being "the holy grail" why must the perfect be the enemy of the good, if it was providing a value?

I certainly allow for the "if it was providing a value" to be a gargantuan escape hatch through which any other perspective may be removed.

But by highlighting the difficulty in verifying signatures and saying it was because they keys were hard to find (or may have been expired or other signing errors per the footnote) a fairly straight forward solution presents itself: add keyserver infrastructure, check it when signed packages are posted, reject if key verification fails using that keyserver.

All told it seems like it wasn't providing a value, so throwing more resources at the effort was not done. But something about highlight how "keys being hard to find" helped justify the action doesn't quite pass muster to my mind.
Adobe might be more impressive wiht AI but wth that your data will be exploited by bigger players.
And, in media, in a world of lawsuits, the big media corpos often have better lawyers.

If you want your media to be stolen to generate 'new' media, choose Adobe. If you want to own your produced media, choose free software, such as Inkscape, Krita, Gimp, Cinelerra-CV, KDEnlive, Blender, Ardour.
The side effects are usually short lived. I'm on tirzepatide and had some mild digestive issues for the 1st 3 - 4 weeks and haven't had any since then. My side effects when starting metformin were worse.
What is your tech stack? What are the required skills for this role?
This is a shallow critique that does not engage with the core idea. Specifying the problem is not the same as solving the problem.
I wouldn't ignore the effect that having surgery and then two weeks of a strictly controlled food intake has. That might account for a large proportion of the success rate. I heard about a study that found that the fasting required for bariatric surgery actually provides a large proportion of the benefit of the procedure.

If you catch type 2 diabetes before it gets so bad that it has killed off the beta cells, then your best treatment is to fast for a while. After a couple of days, you should notice a massive improvement in glucose control. A week of fasting a couple of times a year might be all it takes to give you a complete cure. YMMV, but in my opinion (and that of a whole load of people who know what they're talking about) it's better than filling yourself with drugs.

After the beta cells have been killed off by overwork, yeah, you need insulin. But you can still reduce the amount you need by losing weight.
While enforcement may not have changed, attitudes have. If someone lit a cigarette in a bar today, they would be immediately thrown out. If not by the staff, by the patrons.
Hey, dude, you're wrong.
I need different voices, people think the guy is me.
Personally, I hate even the idea of an AI made podcast, because to me podcasts are personal and emotional. They're about the individual humans who make them. They're not just a source of "information".
My opinion is very similar: both parties are in the right, but one is calling up a mob to pile up on this guy and call him mentally ill.

Automattic has the right to cut off use of its trademarks and infrastructure for any reason, and the hedge fund has the right to whine about it because they got used to the generosity.
> Every program of this nature that I have had was clear that they arent giving you money, but offering to pay for a specific thing. There are clear rules for what they are willing to pay for and when.

The point of the program is to keep the kids at work longer than they'd normally stay. If you understand that and are working late, why would you not pocket the money?
Oh, I suspect they target exactly the same segments. The expectations of those segments have moved, however.
Thanks for telling your story. I always find stories like this to be fascinating.

> Should stealing be excused just because you're doing it to some wealthy entity?

Absolutely!

> The problem with the "it's OK to steal from them because they're in a position of privilege and I'm not" justification logic, is that then the poor/homeless guy around the block should also be ok to rob you or break into your car because "who cares, have you seen the fat wages those techies are raking in?"

False equivalence. But also, I'm absolutely ok with this.

> Have Meta done a lot of nasty stuff that they should be punished for? Definitely. But that's another topic they need to be held accountable for by the law, and should never be a justification to green light stealing since two wrongs don't make a right and you don't want to live in a society where stealing is normalized as long as you think you're doing it to someone more priviledged than you.

I'm completely fine with this world.

Hilariously, you could have made this argument a lot better by indicating perception of privilege is subjective. But you didn't—and instead only produced examples that should be ok to anyone with an ounce of morality.

I sincerely love and appreciate our EU friends and allies but shit like this gives me the feeling that they lean so hard into nanny regulations and flagrantly contrived lawsuits on successful American tech companies to make up for how uncompetitive their tech scene is.

Why can't they roll their sleeves up and outcompete our misbehaving tech companies instead of this horseshit?
Most of the people working in government CNO are just operators. They're pushing buttons in a GUI when they're told to.

They aren't writing exploits or developing tools. Most (though certainly not all) of that work is done by contractors on very good money, or purchased from industry.
Key-based attention is not attributable to the Transformer paper. First paper I can find where keys, queries, and values are distinct matrices is https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.03906, described at the end of section 2. The authors of the Transformer paper are very clear in how they describe their contribution to the attention formulation, writing "Dot-product attention is identical to our algorithm, except for the scaling factor". I think it's fair to state that multi-head is the paper's only substantial contribution to the design of attention mechanisms.

I think you're overestimating the degree to which this type of research is motivated by big-picture, top-down thinking. In reality, it's a bunch of empirically-driven, in-the-weeds experiments that guide a very local search in a intractably large search space. I can just about guarantee the process went something like this:

- The authors begin with an architecture similar to the current SOTA, which was a mix of recurrent layers and attention

- The authors realize that they can replace some of the recurrent layers with attention layers, and performance is equal or better. It's also way faster, so they try to replace as many recurrent layers as possible.

- They realize that if they remove all the recurrent layers, the model sucks. They're smart people and they quickly realize this is because the attention-only model is invariant to sequence order. They add positional encodings to compensate for this.

- They keep iterating on the architecture design, incorporating best-practices from the computer vision community such as normalization and residual connections, resulting in the now-famous Transformer block.

At no point is any stroke of genius required to get from the prior SOTA to the Transformer. It's the type of discovery that follows so naturally from an empirically-driven approach to research that it feels all but inevitable.
Would Creating a prolog dataset would be beneficial, so that future LLM's can be trained on it and then they would be able to output prolog code.

Interesting -- is there any impact from LLM outputs not being deterministic?
yes, with windows. But not with Theater Mode or 3d "Windows" (e.g. Cut-The-Rope).
It could poison the well - make it hard for people to find new good podcasts, and reduce discovery and revenue. Also they could fragment our society even more, disconnect people from people. Doesn't seem worth the risk.

If people want to listen to AI generated podcasts, they can just make them themselves. They don't need publishing on a platform alongside human-made podcasts. If I was Apple, who ultimately control curation of podcasts, then I'd prevent them. After all, Apple Intelligence will soon do as good a job of making your custom podcast if that's what you want.
The U.S. has misused the law to exploit migrant laborers from Western Europe in the past, such as Irish immigrant workers building railroads a hundred years ago. The difference is, those Irish railroad workers were eventually able to ascend the social ladder and be treated as equals in our society, because they are white. They were similar enough to us that they could "pass" and be accepted in mainstream American society and not be looked upon forever as outsiders. Other exploited workers from that era were not as fortunate and continue to be dehumanized and marginalized even today. Every attempt they ever made to join the club and be participants in the great American Dream was systematically crushed, either by force of law or by force of mob violence. Because they are not white. We invented a whole victim-blaming narrative about this where we chalk it up to inferior genetics or lack of perserverence, but anyone with a brain can plainly see that it is the natural inclination for people to adapt to their surroundings and to do whatever they can to be accepted and welcomed into the social collective. It takes a powerful outside force to stop that from happening, to keep the outsiders from eventually turning into insiders, who will then start compelling us to share the commons with them.
My gut instinct is you’d really need perfect incompressibility such that pushing one end of the rod would propagate the pressure wave to other end instantaneously. In other words, you have to make the speed of sound faster than the speed of light. I have no idea what the physical construction would look like. Maybe a string of singularities lined up and touching (hey, there’s your 0!) without tearing spacetime apart?
also not with 3d "Windows" (e.g. Cut-The-Rope).
When they say "making $400k/yr" I assume they're talking cash compensation which puts them well above E5.

>plamigerent
adjective
/ˌplæmɪˈdʒɛrənt/

Etymology: Derived from the prefix "pla-", suggesting play or game, and "migerent," possibly from the Latin "migrans," meaning moving or changing, combined with a connotation of belligerence.

Definition: Describing a setting or atmosphere characterized by competitive tension, where the dynamics of skill are heavily influenced by aggressive or disruptive play. Often contrasts with more relaxed environments where players can fully showcase their abilities.

I learnt this way of thinking about units in my engineering degree, and it is indeed incredibly powerful and I regularly use it.

But I would classify it as "algebra" instead of "arithmetic". Being fluent in manipulations like

60 km/h = 60 km/h * h/3600s * 1000m/km

is not a trivial modality of thought to unlock!

Where was the cottage, out of curiosity?
It's not clear how you'd do that with current technology.

What is the oldest unmaintained working man-made mechanism? I have no idea, but I'd hazard that it's closer to 100 years old than 1000. Things that do keep working do so because they're regularly maintained by people. I'm thinking of stuff like multi hundred year old mechanical clocks.

Assuming you mean some kind of electronics made with transistors, you would have to deal with unsolved problems including

* how you build a billion-year power source

* how you deal with transistor aging on the billion year timescale

* how you deal with medium & large scale events over a billion years (example: weather if on a planet, micrometeorite impacts if in space)

Heck even the clock of the long now <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_of_the_Long_Now>, a clock that works on a scale of 10k years, is a major engineering challenge that will most likely be unsuccessful (my opinion)
What’s wrong with tenseness? People praised Hemingway for it.

Reading fiction isn’t about the books, it’s about yourself. The books are a stimulus to introspect about your relation to the text.

As long as you keep changing, the quantity of books to read is infinite. I like the analogy of the article that books are like a stream and just dip in and pick the one of the moment and let the rest float by. It’s only people who don’t change enough who consume too much from the same point in the stream and feel the effects of water sickness.
> The accounts were empty and didn't have any NSFW content on them.

Was this confirmed by Tumblr staff?

And if the accounts were empty then what's the harm?

> ...was just meant to smear them as a sex-pervert.

The user voluntarily made several accounts with extremely vulgar and sexual names, ostensibly for NSFW purposes. If merely sharing the names is enough to "smear them as a sex pervert", I don't think that's Matt's fault.

Especially considering the post was in response to the user inciting harassment against Tumblr staff.
Curious, what does the facilitator’s sexuality and fashion choice have to do with anything? Why would you bring it up and describe it specifically, after using the words “icky and weird?”
> If the opportunity was given to them, dogs opted for a detour in the case of uncomfortably small apertures

Except in the case of one very sweet but not exactly brilliant large dog I know that legitimately believes his entire body is just the tip of his nose that he can see. I’ve seen him walk straight through a 2” hole in a screen door, and he will repeatedly try to sit on e.g. a chair armrest and not understand why it doesn’t work.
Sure, it all hinges on whether the signatures provided any value. And it seems to be the conclusion that it didn't.

Without something showing "keyservers present an untenable risk" and Debian, Ubuntu, Launchpad, others have keyserver infrastructure, it seems like too far of a conclusion to reach casually. But of course, it adds attack surface for the simple fact that a public facing thing was stood up where once it was not. Though that isn't the kind of trivial conclusion I imagine you had in mind.

I don't see why there's a binary choice between "signing is no longer supported" and "signing is mandatory" when before that wasn't the case. If it truly provided no value, or so small a value with so high a maintenance burden that it harmed the project that way, then it makes sense--but that didn't seem to be the place from which the article argued.
I have a similar setup, but with 20 cores and only 144gb ram but a 4070.

You may find this passage from USCIS relevant, particularly the last sentence.

> E-3 Specialty Occupation Workers may be admitted initially for a period not to exceed the validity period
of the accompanying E-3 labor attestation (i.e., for a maximum of two years), and extensions of stay may
be granted indefinitely in increments not to exceed the validity period of the accompanying E-3 labor
attestation (i.e., for increments of up to two years each). As there is no limit on the total length of stay for
an E-3 alien in the legislation, there is no specified number of extensions a qualify ing E-3 Specialty
Occupation Worker may be granted. Under the current E regulation, 8 CFR 214.2(e)(5) , an alien
classified under section 101(a)(15)(E) as an E-3 nonimmigrant shall maintain an intention to depart the
United States upon the expiration of termination of E status. An application for initial admission, change of
status or extension of stay in E-3 classification, however, may not be denied solely on the basis of an
approved request for permanent labor certification or a filed or approved immigrant visa preference
petition.

There was nothing there to refute. You are free to make up random stuff, I will continue to ignore your made up stuff, as even the claims for which you provide sources turn out to be untrue, contradicted by the very sources you bring.

100% agree, it's a modern cultural problem. We look for drug and technology solutions because "doing the right thing" is hard.
No! This attitude is why we’re moving to a low trust situation in the modern world: because no one holds any morals and values beyond “get what’s yours”. People shouldn’t treat other people like this!
