Well, my response was slightly tongue in cheek. I was just struck by the implied theory that because works of art depict something, that automatically means that thing actually existed.

Regarding your specific example, I'd actually say that "a non-muscular person with various regions puffed up" is a fairly good description of what a muscular person looks like! And, further, I would be fairly confident that an ancient Greek sculptor, having observed numerous models, would be able to ramp the dials up to 12, producing a figure with a degree of outlandish magnificence never actually quite seen in real life, while still appearing anatomically accurate enough not to look weird.

As to how buff the Greeks really were, I admit we'd need a time machine.
> Have you considered googling and checking your assumptions? May help clear up the cynical misunderstandings you appear to have.

I don't have any such misunderstanding. Perhaps consider seeing my original comment which links to an article describing Google building out solar and wind farms for its data centres.

My cynicism, which I argue is well founded, is based around tech companies signing such agreements with nuclear companies, especially when it involves doings things that have never been done before (restarting reactors and building economical SMRs, see Nuscale...).

All these agreements are likely to amount to nothing more than positive PR, greenwashing, or predatory delay. Yes, they also build out solar and wind, but their nuclear PPAs are given equal standing with projects which actually are likely to be built; so instead of having to build more solar and wind today for more real money, they can promise to buy nuclear tomorrow for no cost today.
(unsolicited review) we've been happy adopters of LangFuse at AINews (https://smol.ai/news). ive been tracking the llm ops landscape (https://www.latent.space/p/braintrust) for a while and its very nice to have an open source solution that is so comprehensive and intuitive!

reflections/thoughts on where this field goes next:

1. i wonder if there are new ops solutions for the realtime apis popping up

2. retries for instructor like structured outputs mess up the traces, i wonder if they can be tracked and collapsible

3. chatgpt canvas like "drafting" workflows are on the rise (https://www.latent.space/p/inference-fast-and-slow) and again its noisy to see in a chat flow

4. how often do people actually use the feedback tagging and then subsequently finetuning? i always feel guilty that i dont do it yet and wonder when and where i should.
The problem is the following: if you don't have basic moderation your forum will be abused for those various illegal purposes

Having a modicum of rule enforcement and basic abuse protections (let's say: new users can't upload files) on it goes a long way
This looks useful for sure.
I have a degenerative eye disease. As one of its features is loss of visual acuity, my driving days are numbered. When they come to an end, I'll likely have to move, as it's just not possible to efficiently or affordably get around in environments other than urban when you're blind.

Another feature of my condition is extreme light sensitivity, and difficulties with contrast. I generally need a lot of it, but at the same time, bright light washes out everything around it, blinding me. That feature seems to be progressing more rapidly than the loss of acuity in my case. Consequently, the extreme brightness of headlights nowadays is likely to cut my night driving still shorter, perhaps by years.

If you're not facing such a prospect yourself, it can be difficult to appreciate what a loss of freedom and ease it is to give up driving. It sucks bad.

I hope these overbright headlight haters continue to gain traction!

One of the side effects of The Troubles was giving the police more power than they have in the rest of the UK.

For example, if you are arrested in Northern Ireland, you have no "right to remain silent" thanks to a law brought in in 1988. A court can draw "adverse inferences" (take it as a sign of guilt) if you remain silent during a police interview.
> passkeys stored in a password manager aren't any more secure in practical terms than random passwords stored in a password manager.

This isn’t true, and that’s where your confusion comes in. Passkeys cannot be phished because the protocol includes the server name and does not expose the key to the remote server. The past decade of U2F/FIDO/WebAuth deployment has used that as the marquee selling point because it’s a very common exploit which cannot easily be prevented with traditional passwords and MFA.
> headlights that dynamically turn on and off the high beams depending on whether it sees a car coming

A nice feature in theory, my mother-in-law's Toyota has this, but it doesn't work very well.
Yes they do but you need to do more than that.

They do not have the resources to find out exactly what they need to do so that there is no risk of them being made totally bankrupt.

If that is all - please point to the guidance or law that says just having a report button is sufficient in all cases.
I use Bitwarden. I don’t mind passkeys ending up there. But i want them all in there. I find the UI/UX is really poor with browser extensions, etc. and preferentially trying to use the OS’s password manager to store passkeys.
Sure, the article positions it as an art piece, but you're right. The fact that there is no STL puts this in the "ok cool. Next." bucket for the the vast majority of the 3d printing community.

Thanks AJ, feedback on GitHub/Discord (like yours) has been very helpful to evolve prompt management from a quick addition of the core platform to one of the most-used features -- for which we then actually needed to change a lot of infrastructure to make it reliable and fast (see blog post linked in the original post)
Your examples are not firmware, and they do not pertain to physical devices.

"require" means something different in the hardware context, and other concepts come into play.
I think database modeling is a bit of a lost art, it’s so important though for building applications that do anything important. Love your distinction about the database not needing to be 1 and the same with your domain model. I usually do my first iteration with a few json columns then split them out into tables as the domain model comes into focus … it’s kind of an art.

They might "overspend" compared to retention, but I don't buy that recruiting is actually valued and over-budgeted by most companies. It's a cost center and there are very few direct incentives & feedback mechanisms for having a good process. Do people actually see managers getting fired for failing at recruiting?

The concept of FMUs is pretty interesting if you work in simulation, but I was surprised how terrible the third party support is.

There is not a single third party way to generate a Model Exchange FMU for Linux, using anything but the very badly designed C reference FMUs or some commercial project. Even Matlab has poor support for it.
"This was one of a number of difficult decisions on a complex and fast moving day," he added.

Um, okay. So maybe you made a bad decision rashly on the day, but then every day after that was an opportunity for someone to realize the bad decision and undo it. Instead, they allowed it to continue. That means the fog-of-war type excuse is crap
Yeah, TOTP is also a huge problem.
I keep seeing great coders losing their jobs and I'm wondering why you would fire someone who has been given superpowers (allegedly). AI is a force multiplier. If you have 1,000 workers, they should now be able to produce at the rate of 10,000. (OK, maybe more like 1,500.) If you have a clear vision from the top, you will be able to hit your goals ten times sooner.

Let's say company A is planning on releasing product X to the market in FY25, product Y in FY27, and product Z, in FY30. Well, now you should be able to marshal your resources and release all three products on an expedited schedule.

Obviously this is reductive, but it seems like the best companies are going to use this new tool in their toolkit to dominate, and bad companies are going to get crushed. AI is not a panacea, just yet. But it sounds so confusing to me to hear "We invented jet engines which are superior to prop engines, so we're firing a bunch of our pilots."
Sorry but what does this have to do with Eyes Wide Shut and why it's definitely got to be the case that Kubrick had an issue with the British ratings agency? Hello? Anyone home?
This is the context of that quote, which doesn't state what you're claiming:

In recent years, she has become a figure of some controversy. Not for any real reason, but because we live in an era where things that are self-evidently true are denied by maniacs who are then flattered by cowards.

Also, this was in a piece from one of their columnists. Opinions are to be expected.

Treat average employee tenure at the company as a KPI.

I've worked at companies that without a question raise all employees to market like clockwork.

I've also worked at companies that skimp on raises.

The automatic raise company had tenures in the range of ~10 years, which meant incredible institutional knowledge and contact networks. Consequently, things that would be impossible at other companies were trivial there.

Long tenures can cause their own issues (specifically: not firing people who need to be fired), but are a huge tailwind to productivity, especially at the architect level.

And side observation. If your company is only profitable because you're underpaying your employees, build a different company. If your company is more profitable because you're underpaying employees... you're effectively giving the missing employee salary to shareholders. Gross. Employees are the ones doing the work.
Is it possible to control LED brightness with a linear regulator? I am surprised to hear it - when I was making light effects with LEDs years ago, I understood PWM to be the only practical mechanism, due to the strongly non-linear conductivity curve.

But maybe it's possible, if you just want to fix your LEDs at a specific brightness which never changes, that you could find exactly the right current level...?
Which part of the domain setup was complicated? Curious on how we can streamline/improve (or may have already).

H-1B Visa Program Overhaul Finalized by Biden Administration
30+ years of software dev, but I rarely had to worry about security. I've grown up with passwords (from 1980s BBS logins on up), but just like you, I still don't fully "grok" passkeys, in the sense of how I understand passwords, their threat model, how they can be cracked, etc.

I think I understand it's a bit like a "my public SSH key + website's public SSH key merged together", so that each website can verify the passkey we created together using their private key. The basic mechanism is more or less straightforward.

What I do not understand well is the "how to store and manage 100s of passkeys", and how to migrate my family (including my parents in their 80s, who are far away and I am the main tech guy when the closer "basic tech literate" family members who live closer can't figure things out) to them. We use Linux and Windows boxes at home, and Android phones (for now).

I can easily log into any accounts from any of these, even from my work laptop if needed, some requiring SMS 2FA (let's leave that for another discussion). If I created a passkey on a linux desktop and stored it in a yubikey, can I re-use it on someone else's windows laptop? Would I need the bluetooth version of the Yubi to sync with my phone? Or would I have to create a unique passkey from each device to each website, using my existing password?

Basically: I don't have "one phone" and "one computer", both running the same OS. What are some usage models, including some that don't require yubikeys, because no way could I get my parents in their 80s to understand those.
Thanks for the feedback.

Being unopinionated and API-first has been a core design decision. We want to build the building blocks that everyone needs while acknowledging that most Langfuse users are very sophisticated teams that have a clear idea of what they want to achieve. Over time we will build more abstractions for common workflows to make it easier to get started but new features will always start API-first.

> Hopefully it generally avoids no-win scenarios.

But unavoidable no-win scenarios exist on the road. "What does the vehicle do?" is a reasonable question to ask.

In the case of bike lane traffic or heavy pedestrians, if no avoidance options are available, your suggestion could easily restrict traffic to sub 10 mph. (E.g., to be able to stop with minimum impact if a pedestrian suddenly darted into the street.)

(I am glad to see that in this video, the Waymo crosses a double-yellow, using a dead zone between the two sides of the road to avoid the collision, thus bending the rules to avoid the hit, which is great.)

That seems like a pretty wild stretch - I don't know if that has ever been enforced in the car industry, especially for import brands.

And it's not like we are talking about two dominant brands. Nissan is flirting with complete bankruptcy in the next year. It's unclear what US regulators would latch onto here as part of an anti-trust case.

Show HN: A CLI Tool to Streamline Your Job Hunt as a Software Engineer
I built a CLI tool designed to streamline job hunting for software engineers. You can manage your job search more effectively by populating your professional connections and tracking companies of interest. Once set up, you can deploy it to a server to continuously scrape new job postings and share them directly to a Discord channel via free webhooks. This makes it easy to stay updated on relevant opportunities in real-time.

Why I made this?:

LinkedIn sucks, their email blasts are often spammy and filled with irrelevant listings. On top of that, if you’re relying solely on mainstream platforms like LinkedIn or Indeed, it’s nearly impossible to be first in line for a newly posted opportunity. It scrapes company job boards directly, ensuring you’re notified of opportunities the moment they go public.

Still making improvements everyday but you can give it a try using Homebrew (macOs) or install via Cargo (windows, linux). Appreciate any feedback!
Passwords are bad because normal people can’t remember strong passwords AND because they can be phished or leaked. Phishing is the most commonly-mentioned benefit for passkeys because it’s widespread and cannot be eliminated from a password-based system.

“Secure, comprehensive backups” sounds scary until you remember that it’s only ever meant not disabling a checkbox for iCloud, Google, or Microsoft users.
> I think there's an epidemic of uncaring going on in the world right now.

That’s like, your opinion man. You are in control of that. Such a negative view is a choice. You can focus on something positive instead.

Our connected world allows families to stay in touch with almost zero friction. I get multiple updates weekly on my nieces and nephews even though they live hundreds of miles away.

I have hundreds of photos and videos at my fingertips.

I only get two or three in person visits a year. Connectivity is our only way to maintain… connection.
I've wondered about that.

My assumption: Two CEOs might get the most done with each other if they establish trust, and talk off-the-record. But if one looks like they're CYA-ing, that lowers trust, and eliminates some of the potential negotiations and opportunities.

In this particular case between Palm and Apple, I guess they're already in an adversarial situation, and Palm CEO kinda threatening with overt CYA maybe made sense under the circumstances. But, I guess Apple CEO in the future won't be willing to float any idea to Palm CEO that they don't want blabbed or used against them. So Palm CEO has basically written off a lot of potential hypothetical opportunities with Apple?

Or was this case more like it's mutually understood that Jobs was the one who was out of line, in outright illegal conspiracy, and so Jobs would accept Palm CEO's response in that light, and might still be willing to talk with Palm CEO about sensitive (but legal) things?
So you want to work on a compiler in your job?
Ah, this makes the acquisition more reasonable. Nonetheless, if it weren't for the respective companies' valuations, this would still seem very backward to me (i.e. extension for document editors acquiring a document editor). Keeping Coda's CEO seems promising, yet I fail to see how Grammarly as a product/collection of features would help the combined company.

I think technical people understand the mechanics of using Passkeys, having them backed up to multiple devices etc, but there's no way my 70 year old father is going to be able to understand that. He barely knows the difference between the computer login and his gmail login. My parents are also not wealthy-enough to have Apple take care of all of this for them. He has a hand-me-down Linux laptop because all he needs is Google Chrome. Thankfully I've been able to teach my parents to write down their passwords in a password book.

I can't tell you how many times I've ask my father "what's your google password" and he says "I don't have a google password". I like the idea of eliminating passwords, but inevitably his phone is going to break or his computer is going to crash and he needs a way to recover.
Wonderful! A masterpiece.

Yeah, it's a really surreal bit. The key verse is Gen 11:6: "The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them."

The use of "the LORD" at the beginning pegs this as a "Jahwist" passage. It was written fairly early on, when Judaism was much less of a monotheistic religion. The next verse is "Let us go down"..." There are various interpretations of "us", but it suggests that it was written when "Jahweh" was one creator deity among others.

The same author also wrote the bit about the fall from Eden, the story of Cain, and the story of Noah. In general, it seems like a deity that was big on making judgments about people, and keeping them separate from the realm of the deities.

It's a very classic kind of deity, personifying real traits of the world. We've always been "dumb, scared, and fractured", and somebody wanted to tell a story about why that is.

There's a weird kind of hope in it: we really could be god-like if we just pulled together. But God really hated us and so he gave us Facebook and Twitter.
> 'Next Wednesday' is always the Wednesday of the calendar week following the current calendar week; doesn't matter what day of the week it currently is. 'This Wednesday' is always the Wednesday of current week on the calendar— even if that day is in the past.

Nope. This is highly contingent on "which day of the week starts a week" conventions.

If it is Sunday, then "next Wednesday" does not clearly mean the day 10 days from now ... and which one you lean toward will depend (in part) on "week starts on Monday" or "week starts on Sunday".
Couldn’t have anything to do with it being one of the most complex regulatory environments in the nation, no?

Computing became cheaper because it has layer upon layer of economies of scale.

Law doesn’t because every case is unique and is literally decided upon minutiae and exceptional details.

I’m pretty sure that law got extended to the rest of the UK a few years later.
