Unattended upgrades fail and sit there requiring manual intervention (due to lack of transactional updates and/or multiple flash slots (root partitions and bootloader configuration)).

Pull style configuration requires the device to hold credentials in order to authorize access to download the new policy set.

It's possible to add an /etc/init.d that runs sysupgrade on boot, install Python and Ansible, configure and confirm remote logging, and then run `ansible-pull`.

ansible-openwrt eliminates the need to have Python on a device: https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt

But then log collection; unless all of the nodes have correctly configured log forwarding at each stage of firmware upgrade, pull-style configuration management will lose logs that push-style configuration management can easily centrally log.
To a large degree their wealth is transnational and will move on to the next trough after emptying this one.

Welp, at least the executables are small.
> Raising prices is the ultimate consumer-hostile action. That's where you have to start. It's unavoidable when you legislate higher churn.

Some customers will now be paying 0, which is incredibly consumer-friendly for them. I'm also not immediately seeing a direct link between churn and prices. Eg if 5% of users unsubscribe but are replaced by new subscribers, I'm not seeing how the price needs to go up.

I do see how losing subscribers who weren't using the service requires raising the price, but that's largely a distortion of the market anyways. The service was offered at an unsustainable price, propped up by users paying who didn't actually want to.

> Allowing competitors to price in an easier unsubscription flow is superior to legislating it across the board, for the minority of users who care about that more than a lower overall price. Heck, some companies go even further and offer this thing called a "money-back guarantee", or will just prorate you if you ask nicely. But again you usually pay extra for these niceties, because agreeableness can and should be a valued good in the world.

That's just information asymmetry, which is again a market distortion. Users are generally unaware of how hard it is to cancel when they sign up, which unscrupulous businesses use to offer their product at below-market rates propped up by people who don't actually want to be subscribed. I would buy into this theory if they were slapping banners up that said "you must come to a physical location during extremely inconvenient hours and bicker with a rep for 45 minutes to unsubscribe". They do not, because people would avoid their service (for good reason).

> That's not a good reason to inflict harm upon the majority of satisfied users of those things by causing their prices to go up using legislation, though.

The ratio is much closer than you're letting on. Netflix's latest numbers say a full quarter of subscribers don't actually use the service. I'm struggling to see how subscribers are harmed by having to pay for the cost of providing the service, and especially not how it's preferable to prop these services up with subscribers that don't want to use it.

It also just generally encourages a cancerous business strategy of making things that consumers don't really want, and the business knows they don't want, but being able to coast off the subscriptions people don't bother to cancel. It's bad for the market. Those dollars could be going to innovative products that people actually do want if they weren't being soaked up by useless subscriptions. It also creates subscription fatigue, making it difficult for legitimate businesses to convince people to subscribe. I almost flat out refuse to do subscriptions these days, even if it's something I think I would use.

FetchFox.ai | Founding Engineer | Remote, US & Canada | Full-time | Competitive comp

FetchFox is looking for an exceptional engineer to join our team.

We’re making an AI powered web scraper. You can type what you want in English and it automagically handles all different site layouts and data schemas. It’s 10x easier than using CSS selectors and code, and it lets non-coders scrape also. Try it out at https://fetchfox.ai. However, if you’re applying for this job, you might like the Javascript library.

To install it, use npm:

npm install fetchfox

And then try this snippet, which scrapes all the job listings on HN “Who’s Hiring”:

import { fox } from 'fetchfox';
const results = await fox
.init('https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537')
.extract({ company: 'Company name', url: 'URL of the company website' })
.extract({ summary: 'Summarize this website in 10 words' })
.run(null, (delta) => { console.log(delta.item) });
console.log('Results:', results);

We’re looking for someone with top notch programming skills, fast coding, and a great sense for technical design. The role is open-ended, and there is challenging work to be done on many aspects of the project, including the core library, proxies, the website, and more. The only requirement is that you must have excellent technical skills.

Our compensation is competitive. Our cash compensation is similar to YC founding engineer roles, but our equity compensation is unique. We offer at around an order of magnitude (10x) more than comparable companies. You can read more about this on our site: https://fetchfox.ai/a/founding-engineer-compensation

> By that, I mean something where either the dialog or the video (or both) is completely done by AI.

I don't think LLMs can write nuanced character arcs, so let's not include them.

On the subject of the visuals being completely AI, we need to be able to steer the video with more than just text prompts. Do you remove the possibility of using motion capture performances, compositing, or other techniques?

I think we'll see 100% non-photon, non-CG visuals. I just think those performances will be human and the films will have a very human touch.

If you can make that adjustment, then I think we have a bet.

AI is just a tool. And artists are going to use the tools that can get the job done.
I build and sell a product that is meant to talk to a windows host over Bluetooth.

My application does not work at all on W11. The Bluetooth stack is somehow even more broken than W10. It's to the point where we're developing our own wireless dongle to bypass this entire mess.

Microsoft has forcibly installed W11 on our test machine three times and every time it's completely broken and we have to revert.

It's not good.
Happiness is an inside job. Sitting with your emotions is very important. That's not to say we can tolerate an unlimited amount of information. But rather to highlight that we can become the observer of our emotions, rather than be consumed by them.
I have used weed a number of times. I also consider myself a schizoid personality disorder person. Supposedly that is on the very mild end of Schizophrenia. I have never found it to lead to psychosis or anxiety in myself.

All it does for me is make me feel relaxed and euphoric. If I use a lot I feel more relaxed and euphoric.

I am normally a person who is very detached from what people call a sense of self.

I believe this immunizes me from the anxiety many feel when losing self control under substances.

I do find annoying how many "pot heads" seem to think that weed is a panacea rather than a pacifier with some risks for some people.

Although the effects are different I would very much consider it akin to alcohol or an opiate.

If you have problems it will likely make them harder to deal with.

If you are just looking to relax or escape and are not prone to anxiety then it is effective but in my experience not much different from alcohol or opiates except less physical harms or potential for physical addiction.

I agree with the posters that for many if not most people, including myself, weed can give the illusion of some special insights or special connections to others but it is important to recognize just that, that this is an illusion, that our subjective feelings at any given time do not necessarily correspond to objective reality.

It is shocking to me how many people in all kinds of areas of life think that because they feel something is true it must be true or important or relevant.

Weed evidently makes many weed users feel it is a wonder drug, thus propagating and sustaining the mind virus.

I think it should be legal.

I also think if you want to be successful in life habitual use is ill-advised.

I can certainly see how for anxious, over thinking, controlling types it could lead to psychosis, like any number of other things, even including ideas. However I believe this effect is more due to a pre-existing neurotic psychology of the specific user rather than an intrinsic property of the drug.

But regardless it's not harmless.

Additionally the long term effects are not well known.
So you're suggesting there's some other viable model of egg production that would deliver eggs at 2021 prices? People want cheap eggs. Saying, "well if we just adopted a decentralized, more resource intensive model we wouldn't have problems with bird flu" doesn't address that concern.
That same scenario (an emergency version-change to a direct dependency) could also remove a function that your code calls! Yet that does not mean mean compiler-checks are bad, or that the solution is to make a system that lets you yeet it into production anyway.

Look, I get it: Sometimes a Checked Exception defined in a niche spot "infects" higher-level code which adds it to their signatures, because nobody takes the time to convert it into something more layer-appropriate.

But that is the exact same kind of problem you'd also get when library's NicheCalculationResult class is trickling upwards without conversion too! However nobody freaks out over that one. Not because it's mechanically different, but because it's familiar.
"I was just following orders" is not an excuse to most moral people who learn from history. Soldiers cannot commit war crimes because their superior offices tell them to. Federal workers swear an oath on the Constitution to defend it from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Please. The standard for fixing Windows has been to backup and reinstall the OS for as long as I have used it. You can spend days trying to fix a problem with the OS, or just reinstall it in a couple of hours, most people go for the quick and easy reinstall. This is standard for phones, tablets too, since you can't actually even attempt to fix them.
Switching from manual data entry to approval
Depends why you want to get users upgraded. If you want your users to be upgraded so they have access to security improvements, and those security improvements require TPM 2.0 or whatever, then allowing upgrades on older systems without TPM 2.0 rather undermines the point of getting those users upgraded.
> and that no one uses ChatGPT in this manner

Someone did though and was able to get verbatim reproductions of NYT articles out of it.

> Furthermore the verbatim reproductions that ChatGPT did end up producing after these 10000 prompts are available on numerous public websites unaffiliated with NYT.

So what? NYT as a copyright holder might have no issue with those unaffiliated sites but have an issue with OpenAI.
I like following the OpenAI vs. NYT case, as it's a great example of the controversial situation:

- OpenAI created their models by parsing the internet by disregarding the copyrights, licenses, etc., or looking for a law loopholes

- by doing that, OpenAI (alongside others) developed a new progressive tool that is shaping the world, and seems to be the next “internet”-like (impact-wise) thing

- NYT is not happy about that, as their content is their main asset

- less democratic countries, can apply even less ethical practices for data mining, as the copyright laws don't work there, so one might claim that it's a question of national defense, considering the fact that AI is actively used in the miltech these days

- while the ethical part is less controversial (imho, as I'm with NYT there), the legal one is more complicated: the laws might simply say nothing about this use case (think GPL vs. AGPL license), so the world might need new ones.

And so on...

Been toying with the flash model. Not the top model, but think it'll see plenty use due to the details. Wins on things other than top of benchmark logs

* Generous free tier

* Huge context window

* Lite version feels basically instant

However

* Lite model seems more prone to repeating itself / looping

* Very confusing naming e.g. {model}-latest worked for 1.5 but now its {model}-001? The lite has a date appended, the non-lite does not. Then there is exp and thinking exp...which has a date. wut?
I'm not going to tell you how long I've at one time been searching for a missing route on the return path of a VPN connection... But damn the lights that went on when I realized that hurt by being too bright.
I wonder how this compares to open source models (which might be less accurate but even cheaper if self-hosted?), e.g. Llama 3.2. I'll see if I can run the benchmark.

Also regarding the failure case in the footnote, I think Gemini actually got that right (or at least outperformed Reducto) - the original document seems to have what I call a "3D" table where the third axis is rows within each cell, and having multiple headers is probably the best approximation in Markdown.

The article we are commenting on substantiates it with, several, actual examples.

> interpreters

In what world do interpreters require unsafe code? A naive interpreter that recursively descends an AST doesn't need it, and a bytecode interpreter doesn't need it either. You'll probably need it if you want to make a fast GC, but that does not mean your entire codebase has to be unsafe.

> interfacing with external code

This is one reason unsafe exists, yes. You are supposed to hide the unsafe parts behind a safe interface. For example, Rust unavoidably has to deal with external code to do I/O - yet, the exposed std::fs interface is safe. This is a well established doctrine in the Rust community, and at least one prominent project has received hot hell for ignoring it.

And, again, the portions of code that are unsafe in a Rust codebase - even when required - are supposed to be minimal, well contained, and well tested. Running a suite of tests to check a small amount of code under Miri is not prohibitive at all. If someone is going to insist on using unsafe across their codebase then, yes, they are far better served by using a language that is unsafe to begin with.

I have done embedded Rust, and even there I have largely avoided unsafe code (the 3 lines I was forced to write happened to be for embedded).

> Rust's safety overhead has real trade-offs [...]

I never claimed otherwise. Those trade-offs have a purpose: fewer degrees of freedom result in higher degrees of certainty. Even Rust has too many degrees of freedom[1], but we don't sweep that under the rug, deflect it, or outright lie about the situation.

The Rust zeitgeist largely agrees your opinion (or rather: Andrew's opinion) of unsafe Rust, in a very oblique way. It's shit, we don't like using it. It is certainly not an accurate summary of Rust as a whole.

Leveraging unsafe Rust against Rust as a whole is a dishonest line of thinking and I'm not going to engage with it further.

Most layers do ok the first year, great the second, and then taper off. If you have old crockpot recipes, they can taste great after egg production drops off.

But they can keep laying for quite some time.

You can reduce the feed costs by letting them graze (though even a few chickens will lay waste to an average sized backyard if given the chance) and/or using household food waste.

Rule #1 of feminine-ism.
Been using AWS Lambda for 10 years, since AWS Lambda was first released, so there really is no longer of a "time horizon" - I have not had any problems that would cause any regret, quite the opposite in fact. I also don't use the "Serverless framework", I rolled my own AWS Lambda toolchain long before the "Serverless framework" was ever a thing. So I'm not sure if the author is referring to "functions as a service" generally or specifically the "Serverless framework".

My team did recently try to set up the "Serverless framework" for a new project, and it was quickly apparent that it wasn't going to work for us. It was kind of messy, honestly. I really wanted it to work, but requiring an account on the Serverless framework website just to get Lambdas deployed was the wrong way forward for us. We just ended up using my own toolchain, which is simple and easy and does everything we need it to do, which is build the Lambda function inside AWS Lambda, and deploy the function with some basic configs.
Why are you asking on HN? Have you already discussed this with a Doctor? If so what advice have they given you and why do you need to get extra advice from people who are not medical professionals? If you haven't talked to a Doctor why not?
By the way, I read Fox News as a comparison for NYT. Reading the comments on Fox News articles is a very weird experience. You'll get this mixture of comments from "I support Trump but this particular idea is terrible" to "We must do everything Trump says to bring about the next revolution" to what appears to be blatant propaganda/manipulation from foreign agents and literal outright racism and sexism. What you don't see is nuanced communication, while in the NY Times, comments are often from knowledgeable people who have experience communicating online, can make good arguments, and back up their ideas with facts.

If the fox news comments in any way represent true opinions of trump supporters, then our country is truly screwed.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would argue you didn't use design patterns enough.

Beautiful code and clean architecture is a rabbit hole.

Code should be clean enough to communicate. As long as team understand and accepts the risk, it is good enough.

> * Huge context window

But how well does it actually handle that context window? E.g. a lot of models support 200K context, but the LLM can only really work with ~80K or so of it before it starts to get confused.
Honestly, quotas would probably have been better than what was done here. Inventing a test (or 'questionnaire' as it was called here) where the goal was to filter out almost everyone who did not have the answer key, then only giving that answer key to the preferred race is just such a terrible way to do it.
Yeah I was going to say the III one is surprisingly good. I used to know the director and he was super cool. Also produced re-animator. He also did a weird low budget movie called "society" which is interesting.

One major takeaway that matches my own investigation is that Gemini 2.0 still materially struggles with bounding boxes on digital content. Google has published[1] some great material on spatial understanding and bounding boxes on photography, but identifying sections of text or digital graphics like icons in a presentation is still very hit and miss.

There might not be much of a difference in your mental health condensing 2-4 years' of rage into just one week.

Perhaps another strategy could be to maintain an awareness of the motivations and tactics of publishers/content creators, and that could be enough as an inoculation.

I imagine a clown on the street trying to enrage me, and I being aware of what it's trying to do, instead just laugh at it.

Today I walked into a restaurant with a cable TV news channel blaring on about the "invasion of men" into women's college sports. They offered no proof, just a continuous barrage of commentary. As I waited for my sandwich I watched one after another, with just continuous outrage. No proof, no on-site reporters, no B tape, nothing at all to support the claims being made. It was like watching bad science fiction of an alternate universe. I chuckled nervously as I looked around and wondered if the others there actually believed it. None of them were laughing.
How do I as a non-US citizen get access to information from those "proper entities"? Is it even possible for US citizens? This is often a surprise for some visitors of this fine website, but there's a large world outside the US where "federal law" does not apply.
