Highly unlikely. The more likely truth is just that the default temperature of ChatGPT is really low (but not quite zero); so it keeps spitting out (roughly) the same story. It does switch up protagonists a bit and different versions of ChatGPT also have different names for them. Slightly modified prompts also return different names (eg. "Tell me a sad story").
It’s even older than that. Much older. Wikipedia “Coley’s Toxins”.
I think while lots of corps do business with the government and love the money, Palantir is next level and seems to be aimed completely at serving the government and especially intelligence communities as the go to, which means that if there is a swamp, there are in the most gassy part of the swamp, we are talking fartville, microbial smorgasbord indigestion version. That’s not a great way to have a healthy democracy; let the government do government stuff but mixing in too deep with corporations is another step to towards fascism and corruption.
The checksums would be on a per page basis. Only the pages of the file that are actually read would be hashed.

No need to hash the entire file unless you want to scrub it though this would automatically happen when the database is vacuumed.
jQuery it is not. Don't even know why the comparison is made, except for rhetorical effect. Looks like a cool library though.
The bitmap absolutely is a texture in the broad sense of the word. It’s not a Vulkan texture in the sense that it doesn’t use the Vulkan texture API, but it is a texture nonetheless.

Moreover, parent’s point is double valid because of the example “Look Ma, No Font Atlas!!!” that uses a font atlas baked into shader code. I totally expected this article, based on the title, to talk about stroked font rendering, and instead it’s an article about “texture-less” textured rendering that uses a “no font atlas” font atlas.

There's a long history of OVT clinical trials, if someone's bored and interested they could try tracking down why they (mostly*) failed.

See table 1 for a list (as of 2021, probably incomplete) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7913179/

* As the article points out, there is one approved OVT therapy.
+1 for this.

I use sqlite for some "logging-like" thing a lot, the file is in the ~1.5GB range and growing, and every minute some data is logged to it. Having to read 1.5GB of data from the disk every minute, to add a (few times) timestamp and one 64 bit number to that data seems pointless.
There was remarkably little in the way of security for early satellites (or space probes).

I recently encountered here on HN the suggestion that, the main reason you can't find particularly in-depth details on the Voyager space probes, is project security. Security through obscurity, mostly. If amateurs can detect the signal from the Voyager probes with a small dish antenna, it's at least conceivable someone might hook up a really powerful transmitter, aim it in the probe's direction, and start issuing commands. There's no cryptography, of course. The resources required to hijack like that in the 1970s would have been much greater, and I doubt being hacked was much on the designer's minds.

The Apollo Program was the same; today anyone with the documentation, a small dish antenna, a software radio, and some nerd dedication, would be able to hack Apollo midflight via its radio link. It was the equivalent of a root prompt with no password on an exposed port.

A bit closer to home, there's a tremendous amount of semi-functional orbital junk with a similar lack of security, decades-old computers still waiting for telecommands.
How is this different from Qodo?
Why isn’t it mentioned as a competitor?

I’ve hard time figuring out what codebuff brings to the table that hasn’t been done before other than being YC backed. I think to win in this massively competitive and fast moving market, you really have to put forward something significantly better than an expensive cobbled together script replicating OSS solutions…

I know this sounds harsh, but believe me, differentiation makes or breaks you sooner than later. Proper differentiation doesn’t have to be hard, it just needs to answer the question what you offer that I can’t get anywhere else at a similar price point. Right now, your offer is more expensive for basically something I get elsewhere better for 1/5 the price…
I’m seriously worried whether your venture will be around in one or two years from now without a more convincing value prop.

From my experience of leaning more into full end to end Ai workflows building Rust, it seems that

1) context has clearly won over RAG. There is no way back.

2) workflow is the next obvious evolution and gets you an extra mile

3) adversial GAN training seems a path forward to get from just okay generated code to something close to a home run on the first try

4) generating a style guide based on the entire code base and feeding that style guide together with the task and context into the LLM is your ticket to enterprise customers because no matter how good your stuff might be , if the generated code doesn’t fit the mold you are not part of the conversation. Conversely, if you deliver code in the same style and formatting and it actually works, well, price doesn’t matter much.

5) in terms of marketing to developers, I suggest starting listening to their pain points working with existing Ai tools. I don’t have one single of the problems you try to solve. Im sitting over a massive Rust monorepo and I’ve seen virtually every existing Ai coding assistant failing one way or another. The one I have now works miracles half the time and only fails the other half. That is already a massive improvement compared to everything else I tried over the past four years.

Point is, there is a massive need for coding assistance on complex systems and for CodeBuff to make a dime of a difference, you have to differentiate from what’s out there by starting with the challenges engineers face today.
> None of us can do it alone

Off topic but this is not technically true. 41 million digits means 1.3 years of saying one digit per second. Even taking 3x as long, to account for sleep and other activities, this would take about four years - still very much doable.

Four years times $100k/year plus $100k completion bonus equals $500k; I guess many people would be willing to do it alone under these conditions.
The Merlin engine in the Falcon 9 also uses fuel (RP-1) as hydraulic fluid, I believe.

I think it’s the stuff they’re doing that sounds alarms. It’s not like building a road or getting landscape work down in Washington DC around the capitol building. Digging through American’s lives for the government, looking for improper papers and such. It’s deeply embedding corporations and government together for police state activities which is never a good idea despite what the free market says.
Being “stuck” at a job for a decade, living a life with zero financial worries, does not compare to the average worker who has to work for 40+ years, cannot afford to purchase property, and has to rely on social security in old age when they can’t work anymore.

Claiming these are anywhere comparable is an incredibly lack of perspective.
That's only when used as a preposition. When used as an adjective it is more or less a synonym for "appropriate" and works fine in this context.
> Investigations have been happening for thousands of years in the western common-law tradition via constabularies and courts.

English is not my first language; is a constabulary not a police?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but I consider any armed unit that works for the government and is paid to enforce law by arresting people (and other things), to be "police".

Such units have existed for much longer than 200 years. But perhaps you use a different definition for the term?

Anyway, my point is that if there is a building with 10 armed gang members, no normal person would go in there to arrest them. That'd be suicide.

You need some organized group with special training (and ideally superior weapons) to do anything about this gang.

And that group is the police.

If you were relying on random individuals voluntarily (and without pay) doing the enforcement, a gang would only need to be sufficiently feared, so that noone ever dares touch them.

You'd have gangs killing people as brutally as possible, to make others afraid to go against them.

You can see this exact thing happening in some countries today, and it's horrible.

Yes, I do think the police "experiment" will continue.

(For the next 10000 years? Probably not. I don't think real AGI will happen in our lifetime, but I do think it will hapen within the next 10000 years. And it will change society in ways I cannot predict.)
Let’s move beyond simplistic left-right labels and aim for critical reasoning where possible.
To get to a working raytracer, yes.

But, take a game, or a movie.
One needs render things very efficiently in a game, you have 33.3ms of frame budget. Today, raytracing in games either uses just 1 or 2 techniques (e.g. shadows) and calls it a day. If you want to do more, you probably need some help with machine learning (think DLSS). Not to mention, you need a system that accelerates the structures needed to perform it, and somehow marry all this with everything else in game that uses the GPU. You get animations into the mix and the complexity goes up in all areas.

In movies, you have more leeway, but the artists still need to iterate fast. You want them to be able to see something akin to the final product fast.

It intersects a lot of areas.
That sounds really interesting! Can you cite any articles or anything?
I think we need the other senses for cognition. The other senses are part of the reward function which the cognitive learning algorithms optimize for. Pleasure and pain, and joy and suffering, guide the cognitive development process.
Never had a problem with RedReader, strange.

Anyhow, when the apps stop being updated, it's usually due to something that was added that doesn't make them compliant with F-Droid's policies anymore; or, they changed something in the release process without telling F-Droid.

Other times, the apps were set to be updated only at the developer's request, and for some reason they still haven't done that request (some developers deliberately update F-Droid less frequently, to be more confident of not giving bugged releases to the F-Droid usere).

The normal delay, due to their manual (and lazy) signing process, is from few days to about ten
Damn, it runs very fast.
Sure. It was RFK. Nevermind the facts:

“On 6 July 2018 on the east coast of Savai'i, two 12-month-old children died after receiving MMR vaccinations.[8] The cause of death was incorrect preparation of the vaccine by two nurses who mixed vaccine powder with expired anaesthetic instead of the appropriate diluent.[20] These two deaths were picked up by anti-vaccine groups and used to incite fear towards vaccination on social media, causing the government to suspend its measles vaccination programme for ten months, despite advice from the WHO.[21][19] The incident caused many Samoan residents to lose trust in the healthcare system.[22]”

Corporations are also unethical, they exist only to make a profit for owners. They don’t have any morals. Their owners -might- have some morals but they often don’t either. At least in a democracy government is at least to an extent working for society at large, 99% of corporations are not; obviously there are a few exceptions in with nonprofit status.
This seems to make sense given that Purkinje cells in the brain have been shown to do this same type of thing in isolation (detect and respond to patterns of input).

It meant there was some low level mechanism lurking inside at least those cells, so not too surprising it's more general.
No they’re not. A “salaryman” earning millions has financial independence in 5 years maximum if they so choose.

Most people are forced to work or starve. These are not the same.
The former is a reason why there actually is a lot of research into this already/couple drugs approved (cancer is usually very profitable), the latter is why all drugs, not just these, need extensive clinical trials and strong regulation. Because it's measles virus and herpes virus etc etc, and often genetically engineered, so the safety risks are ... obvious
How Nathan Barry turned ConvertKit into a $30M/year business
When ConvertKit launched, it wasn’t for everyone. Nathan started by focusing on a niche: bloggers.
Why? Because it’s way easier to convince someone that a tool is made for them than to sell a generic product.

He didn’t start with a sales pitch. He started by listening.
His first emails? Simple: "Is anything frustrating you with MailChimp?"
No selling, just pure listening. He then hopped on calls to offer solutions tailored to each person's pain points.

But there’s one thing He realized early on: switching email platforms is a big pain.
So, he did something crazy—he offered to migrate everything for free. All of it.

Once he had happy users, He leaned into referrals.
"Do you know any other bloggers who might need ConvertKit?" It’s 10x easier to convince a friend of a friend than a total stranger.

The takeaway? Do the stuff that doesn’t scale. — helping one person at a time.
It’ll set you up for the channels that will scale later.
Today, ConvertKit makes over $30M/year. He started small and kept it simple.

So, if you’re building something—don’t worry about getting everything perfect or scalable from day 1. Start small, listen to your users, remove the barriers, and get people talking. You'll build something that sticks.
I'm not a Toyota fan but this seems like a total hit piece. No data, just a hand wavy opinion that because these cars are getting more feature rich they are not going to be as reliable. Nonsense.
After the Saturn V was retired, they put one out in the front yard of the Johnson Space Center.

It was kind of sizable, and for years you could see it when you drove by on NASA Road 1.

Laying sideways where the different stages were laid end-to-end, and walk right up and touch it, with outdoor photo ops all over the place.

Eventually they built buildings to enclose it, which you now have to go inside if you want to take a look.

most seem to require utopian ideals like do no harm principles.

Too bad there’s not a real life example of any alternative people can point to. Wonder why that is, perhaps it’s because they are only possible in dreams.
US citizens are about to find out that it’s important to know something about the philosophy of the people they vote for. When the basic services dry up, roads fill with potholes, no more cheap labor is to be found, and the checks stop arriving in the mail and instead go to corporations and oligarchs they will have learned their lesson. Hopefully it will not be too late.
Dunno if this is intended, but it zooms in slightly when I add an item and the trash / delete button is slightly off-screen. iOS 17.6.1.

I do not believe this idea would obtain the desired results despite being a good intention. People would just create an addon or find a way for uBlock or userScripts or greasemonkey to check the box.

The only way to know someone read and understood the article would be to require them to submit a short summary in their own words and have an LLM validate it to be at least 85+% correct or let people vote on their interpretation of the article and then prefix their comment with their score. That is too much friction for a website like this in my opinion.
Of course cells and tissues react to external stimuli, that's part of the homeostasis process, and a fundamental part of our adaptivity or we'd die with minimal changes in the environment. Calling it memory is the same as saying a bruise is my body having a memory of me hitting the corner of the table. Well toned bodies are the memories of the weight lifting exercises they've performed in the past, and so on.

But I can only imagine the extrapolations that alternative medicine people will make with this.
PostgreSQL, one of the most popular databases for reliable data management, also does not enable this feature by default.

"By default, data pages are not protected by checksums, but this can optionally be enabled for a cluster. "
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/checksums.html

I feel it's quite unfair for the title to call out sqlite on checksums, when in reality, as the very closing line of the article states most databases don't do checksum verifications.
Is muscle memory real then?
Yes, that is the point. Juries are our justice system’s protection against abuse. If the crime was bad enough for police to sweat someone for 12 hours, then having a jury watch for 12 hours seems a reasonable check and balance - after all they might be saving weeks that would be spent on a trial if there were no confession.

And it puts sunshine all over police interrogation practices- if they are acting professionally then that will show through, but if they are abusing someone that will become visible as well.
Db2, Oracle, Postgres and SQL Server do checksums.
Anarchist based “governments” offer no solution other than a some odd years of rough living and then being invaded by a superior military force and put under a dictatorship.
Hm, I failed to notice that, since it is not mentioned in their introduction, and the list of supported languages is fairly small :)
It was a rather depressing read. Sad that an organization functions in a way that doesn't promote collaboration and creates all sorts of perverse incentives. Sad that employees get carelessly tossed from one project to another without any consideration for what they want for themselves. Sad that "being surrounded by the best engineers in the world, using the most advanced development tools in the world, and eating the free-est food in the world" (and probably being paid quite handsomely as well) is not enough for happiness, unless there is also promotion involved.
There are a couple OVTs that are approved by the FDA and it's a rather active area of research. One of many in the recent explosion of biological cancer treatments (immunitherapies/cell therapies, etc etc). With any cancer treatment the exact same procedure will struggle to generalize well across cancer types and you have to regulate for safety and efficacy rather strongly. Especially when the treatment is lab grown measles or herpes virus strains that are genetically engineered.

You want a database that was originally designed when hard drives failed a lot more.
Thanks for the insightful comments! You surely have a lot more experience than me there, but my impression was that producing visual diffs and merging files are tasks that put different requirements on the tree matching algorithms, and Dijkstra-style approaches felt more fitting for diffs than for merging, so that's why I went for GumTree as it seemed to be the state of the art for merging. Does SemanticDiff offer a merge driver? I could only find documentation about diffing on the website.

As to mismatches: yes, they are bound to happen in some cases. Even for line-based diffing, Git uses rather convoluted heuristics to avoid them (with the "histogram" diff algorithm), but they can't be completely ruled out there either. I hope that with enough safeguards (helper to review merges, downstream consistency checks with local fall-back to line-based diffing) they can be lived with. I'm happy to try other matching algorithms if they are more promising though (there isn't much coupling with the rest of the pipeline).

Concerning tree-sitter, I have noticed some small issues, but nothing that was a show-stopper so far. I actually like it that it's designed for syntax highlighting, because it's really helpful that the representations it gives stay faithful to the original source, to avoid introducing reformatting noise in the merging process. Parsers written for a specific language can sometimes be too zealous (stripping comments out, doing some normalizations behind your back). That's a problem in Spork (which uses Spoon, a pretty advanced Java parser). And the uniform API tree-sitter offers over all those parsers is just too good to give up, in my opinion.
There is: It’s already done at the layer below the file system.

In the best case, repeating it at the FS layer wastes performance; in the worst case, it causes confusion as to which layer has to do it and then maybe nobody does.

For the same reason, e.g. HTTP doesn’t have a checksum either, and IPv6 even got rid of its header checksum.
They should have an option to write every block twice including the WAL. SQLite is already so robust, why not go the extra mile

Has anyone seen a study of the pattern of bit errors experienced on disks? Like are they a single bit or multiple consecutive sectors?

At Quantcast in our QFS distributed file system we used a very efficient reed-solomon coding to get redundancy as good as 3x blocks with only 1.5x storage and still got gigabytes/sec encoding speed. We spread blocks out over different cabinets (not just machines or drives) but that would be overkill here. Obviously we still had end to end checksums because errors can happen anywhere, especially in disk and network controllers whose firmware is usually a one off hack

No, the opposite. To not spend - to save in.
No… basically these things need a trigger phrase, otherwise they’re continuously recording and running voice recognition and then NLP in the cloud for every sound in the environment, which is a lot of power investment (never mind privacy concerns) for minimal useful ROI.

The trigger phrase lets a simple, very low power dedicated chip with a simple model look for an audio clip that looks like the trigger phrase, which then kicks in recording and processing, usually off the local device, for whatever prompt follows.
