As your attorney I would not advise admitting that on a public website. Even posting it implicates this website in the risk registry.
I mean, networking in general is difficult and complex. While most of my work is in the "systems" realm of IT, my formal education was primarily in the networking side of things with systems as an "also-ran". The complexities of public clouds like AWS and Azure isn't so much new complexity in networking, but a deliberate change in vocabulary and implementation of existing concepts to justify the higher salaries of those certified on a given cloud. After all, if it was the same process to implement, say, HAProxy on AWS as it was on-prem, then the illusion of "new" is shattered and customers might realize they're just paying more money for their same infrastructure, but with shiny new terms and a more consistent API/CLI experience.

After you translate the vocabulary, the process is pretty similar until you get to security items, like ACLs or packet-inspection firewalls. You're still setting up VLANs in the form of subnets, routers in the form of transit gateways, sites in the form of VPCs, inter-site connectivity through peering connections, you get the idea.

If there's one thing I've learned in my IT career, it's that most "new" ideas are just rebrands of existing concepts, and that the real expertise comes from being able to translate marketing-speak into concrete, interchangeable fundamentals. Public Cloud is, largely but not entirely, no different in this regard.
Ask HN: Did VirusTotal introduce drastic limits?
"The ZIP file you are uploading exceeds the size limit (3MB).
Additionally, it appears to contain more than one file. You can still
upload it, but in order for us to scan the file contained within, the
ZIP file must be within the size limit and contain exactly one file."

Doesn't matter if I am logged in or not. Saw it for the first time today. There is a Reddit thread from three days ago from someone else with no enlightening answers, so I thought I asked here in the hope someone from or near the VirusTotal team sees it.
Just like OpenAI or Grok, there is no transparency and no way for self-hosting purposes. Your input and confidential information can be collected for training purposes.

I just don't trust those companies when you use their servers. This is not a good approach to LLM democratization.
I thought for a moment you were talking about https://whimsical.com/, which is productivity suite that people depend on for work. I wouldn't want to hear it's shutting down! Then I realized you're talking about the concept of whimsical things, not a company. Whew!

I've gotten calls asking if the business (not a restaurant) was going to be open on a holiday. It was clearer than a typical person calling, quick, and easy to confirm. I'd rather take these calls than actual people.
As a bisexual dude (I live quietly and openly with who needs to know my life.. I don't impose on anyone ), they are the 2nd biggest reason why Trump Is our current president. They tried to impose ideas that are not logical onto the majority and they are very very small minority. And now we have Trump besides inflation that's probably the second biggest thing the majority of all Americans disliked & wanted to say it via their vote.

On the surface that makes sense. From a consumer perspective lack of RtR just indicates the consumer needs to spend elsewhere if it becomes a concern.
Credit card is easily changed. Phone number is much more difficult.
Sabatier reaction also rocks in this context. CO2 + O2 => methane with water as a byproduct.

So all you really need is hydrogen. And conveniently part of the water you produce or harvest can be split into H2 and O2.

The absurd convenience of such things realllly makes one think more deeply about the simulation hypothesis.
Honestly I don't think Anthropic cares about you moving over to them - it's pretty evident that they already have more demand than they can handle.

I've always had better experience with Claude in day-to-day coding and text writing, and looking at public forums that largely seems to be the case.
Nothing in the Claude API release notes.

I really wish Claude would get Projects and Files built into its API, not just the consumer UI.
The word "just" can trivialize so much. Rockets are "just" explosives pointed in one direction. Computers are "just" billions of transistors in a single package. Humans are "just" a protein shell for DNA.
I once lived in a house that had an apple tree in the back yard. Tons of apples at the start of the season.

But then squirrels and deer would come by and rip them off one by one, before they were ripe, taking a single bite and leaving them on the ground. These same animals ate almost my entire vegetable garden, including things deer aren't supposed to like such as potato plants and black mustard.

It's a great project to get you outside but there are so many ways to be disappointed.
A short position is always a gamble, because you could lose more than everything.
It stopped being revolutionary and is now mostly evolutionary, though.
I don't think this was it. It was the mistake the left always makes, of rolling it into the "Omnicause" and using it for purity testing.

If you have an agent in an environment, the program that controls its choices has pretty consistently been called AI even when it's a simple design.

But I'm skeptical of calling most optimizers AI.

That still does not imply it is somehow favoritism if parents have less conflicts with a kid that does not bully siblings, does homework and only needs to be asked to do chores to actually so them.

I know it is somewhat caricature. But "my brother is lazier and parents never have him do any chores so that there is less conflict" is not fairness despite there being no conflict.

Less conscientious kid means there have to be more conflict.
Tried claude code, and have an empty unresponsive terminal.

Looks cool in the demo though, but not sure this is going to perform better than Cursor, and shipping this as an interactive CLI instead of an extension is... a choice
Yeah man, let me make my progressive social movement while under the rule of people who are happy to use violence and other nefarious means to suppress any sort of positive change that threatens their power. If only people had made movements against the Iraq war and bank bailouts in 08, things would be so much different now.
Much as it might be pandering to Trump's nationalist (America first / American only) policies, or simply an action to avoid some of the effects of tariffs that might be imposed, this time around, I see no such connection for the 2021 announcement. Unless they are connected as they are a more generic "pleasing the incoming administration" to try curry favour for when decisions that might affect the company are being made.
for Israel I would have said Check Point firewalls, or the company that owns Express VPN and Private Internet Access
Theia is really nice, but it has the fatal flaw of no Apple Silicon support. So you can’t really switch a team to it. You have to us VSCode right now. As soon as Apple Silicon support is done however, I’m pretty sure many will switch over.

> You'd rather hand over your credit card than your phone number?

You know, that was my first reaction, too. But really, my phone number is much more integral to my identity. I can cancel or change a credit card number pretty trivially and then it's useless to you.
Right, the actual result they asked about was not published. But do a search for the author, they indeed have published loads of related stuff in the last decade even if not that actual result and even if not directly pointing at it.
This is incorrect. Often times manufacturers will lock down the systems that can report statistics and reset failures to only work with their proprietary tools. They will not sell these tools and force people to go to the dealer. After a while the dealer can close or not sell that tool anymore and now people have an expensive paperweight that caused tons of emissions to create.
Not saying it's not the right metric, I'm saying the "1.9% to agriculture" number isn't including fertilizers, chemicals, or supply chains so the food isn't rotting in your silo. It does include fuel for tractors on the farm though.
How exactly would one "hoard" money these days? Even if it's just sitting in a bank, that still translates to getting lent out at whatever interest rate that bank charges.

It's their strong suit no doubt, but sometimes I wish the chat would not be so eager to code.

It often throws code at me when I just want a conceptual or high level answer. So often that I routinely tell it not to.

You should be careful with this. Last time I saw an article about reproducing Shazam's algorithm, their lawyers came after them and eventually the article was removed.

There were questions as to the validity of the threats their lawyers used, but even a bulletproof case is a costly endeavor when going up against the scale of companies.

It’s extremely unlikely that everyone is copying in a few weeks for models that themselves take many weeks if not longer to train. Great minds think alike, and everyone is influencing everyone. The history of innovation is filled with examples of similar discoveries around the same time but totally disconnected in the world. Now with the rate of publishing and the openness of the internet, you’re only bound to get even more of that.
I complain about this all the time, despite me saying "ask me questions before you code" or all these other instructions to code less, it is SO eager to code. I am hoping their 3.7 reasoning follows these instructions better
If two cars travelling the same direction contact each other such that the front axle of one car bumps the rear axle of the other (the car in front), it's usually the car in front that has the safety problem. This is the same principle behind the PIT maneuver.
If you can’t think of reasons why it would be harder than that, consider that you might want to read up on the problem first before saying it’s easy. For example, you’re assuming compatible soil (no), nutrients (also no), and the absence of toxins (again no).

Another way of looking at: have humans over-wintered in Antarctica without relying on outside inputs? That’s a much easier problem on multiple scales (oxygen, soil, temperature, water, etc.) so I wouldn’t take any mars proposal seriously before they’ve sent the same equipment to Antarctica and survived longer than the proposed mission.
This hasn't been true in practice. For example, farmers did not lead the small sat revolution that's democratized the use of satellite imaging for farm management. They did go "wow!" when the option was presented to them, but technologists saw the use case (and its immense utility) before most of their customers did.
I'm curious how Claude Code compares to Aider. It seems like they have a similar user experience.
Disclaimer: I work for Timeplus in the field team.

This is exactly the kind of problem we've been solving with a few of our customers. With Timeplus, we can listen to Kafka and then do streaming joins to create denormalized records to send downstream to ClickHouse. Traditionally we did this with stream processing and this would build up really large join state in memory for when cardinality on the join keys would get very large (think 100s of millions of keys).

This has recently been improved with two additional enhancements:
1. You can setup the join states to use hybrid memory/disk based hash tables in Timeplus Enterprise if you still want to keep the join happening locally (assume all data in the join is still coming in via Kafka) and maintaining high throughput

2. Alternatively, where you have slow changing data on the right hand side(s), we can use a Kafka topic on the left hand side and do direct lookups against MySQL/Postgres/etc on each change on the LHS. This takes a hit throughput but may be ok for say 100s of records per second per join. There's an additional caching capability with TTL here to allow for the most frequently accessed reference data to be kept locally so that future joins are faster.

On additional benefit from using Timeplus to send data downstream to ClickHouse is being able to batch appropriately so that it is not emitting lots of small writes to ClickHouse.
This is a pretty small update, no? Nothing major since R1, everyone else is just catching up to that, and putting small spins on it, Anthropic's is "hybrid" research instead of separate models
They merely claimed that. I have not seen many people confirm that it is the best, let alone a consensus. I don't believe it is even available through an API yet.
New mascot! Just make it the Anthropic orange
One of the annoying things about the LZW compression patent was that it covered something Lempel and Ziv had already mentioned in the further study section of their original paper. Someone patented an “exercise left to the reader”.
Thanks for noting this -- it's actually pretty important in my work.
I wouldn’t assume there’s no way to self host — it just costs a lot more than open weights.

Anthropic claims they don’t train on their inputs. I haven’t seen any reason to disbelieve them.

When did you make your account? I could have sworn I had to verify with my phone number before payment.
You don't even need gamma for 7:

2 + 2 + 2 + floor(sqrt(2))

Which feels at least more in the spirit of the challenge than gamma.
> Child who isn't favored feels alienated

You say that as if it's a foregone conclusion?

We have two children, each one on their own extreme end of the agreeability spectrum. One has been a breeze to raise, the other is its own full-time job. The end result is that our "easy" child sometimes feels ignored while the more challenging one soaks up most of our attention and time.

> 2a. When the agreeable child grows up and learns valuable skills-- how to say no, how to assert themselves and their needs-- they'll feel the "natural" favored treatment from their parents start to change, and that will damage their relationship

Again, I don't see why that would be the case. A _good_ parent teachers their child to be independent and make their own decisions and is proud of them when they do.

> 2b. Agreeable child doesn't develop the skills to assert themselves for fear of damaging their relationship with their parents (which they "naturally" know is based on their agreeableness) and harbor resentments among other unhealthy habits

If that happens, that is the fault of overbearing and/or controlling parents. Good parents teach their kids when to speak up for themselves, accept valid criticism, and otherwise teach effective communication.

Many credit card companies make it easy to generate one-off card numbers/“virtual cards” you can use to subscribe to services that are hard to cancel or otherwise questionable (so you can cancel just the card you used for that company).
I am not a fan of Larry so take the next sentences as an odd way to confirm bias and maybe this is why I am responding to it now..

Anyway, in order to change something ( implicitly for the better.. one hopes ), one should be able to know the current approach. Based on the articicle itself ("It has also stumbled from farming inexperience."), that is not the case.
To me the biggest surprise was seeking grok dominate in all of their published benchmarks. I haven’t seen any benchmarks of it yet (which I take with a giant heap of salt), but it’s still interesting nevertheless.

I’m rooting for Anthropic.
My manager explained to me that LeetCode is proving that you are willing to dance the dance. Same as PhD requirements etc - you probably won't be doing anything related and definitely nothing related to LeetCode, but you display dedication and ability.

I kinda agree that this is probably reason why companies are doing it. I don't like it, but this is besides the matter.

Using Claude other models in interviews probably won't be allowed any time soon, but I do use it the work. So it does make sense.
Self-hosted notion replacement would be amazing, I hope you succeed !
Fair - maybe there was a little name calling. But, I agree it was deserved.
Google plans to stop using insecure SMS verification in Gmail
I think you're wrong, and I think they're trying to force Musk out. This was not only from Kash. It came from the heads of many (most?) agencies, and they all ended the same way, basically saying "don't answer that email, we are in charge of hiring and firing in this agency". It's a clear challenge by the group to Musk's power.
I had to change the order of the rows and columns of a matrix to force the diagonal to be ordered. One possibility was to use the sort function on the diagonal, somehow get the permutation, and then apply the permutation to all the rows and columns. How had can it be?

There is a 50% chance of apply the permutation in the wrong direction, and other possible tricky details.

Since the worst case was N=20, I used bubble sort that is as quick and dirty, but it's also obvious and well known.
Easier to who? The audience here is folks that don’t want to wade into the murky Docker waters
You credit card is also easily charged.

Your phone number isn't.

What is a company going to do with your phone number that you're worried about...?
Making it a dollar sign would cause countless bugs for people who generate HTML using templating languages whose variables are indicated by dollar sign. From time to time, someone would add target="$blank" to a templates, forgetting that the $ must be escaped to be literal.

They might have to resort to predefining a reserved variable called blank, whose value is "$blank". :)

Similar reasoning applies to most other special characters.

Given how HTML gets generated by preprocessors which use special characters in this manner or that, its best not to come up with new schemes within HTML itself involving special characters.

Carving out a reserved space within an existing namespace is safe.
This is often accused but it is already a violation of federal laws that have been around for ages. It is called obd and covers a lot more than emissions.

right to repair may cover more but it isn't nearly as useful for normal diagnostics.
And the markets they are in are low hanging fruit with good weather. I’m not saying Waymo is less safe than human drivers. I am saying that it will only take one fatal accident by any self driving car for people to lose confidence, investigations to start, rollouts to be paused etc. I’m also not saying that is a logical response.
And it's also the reality of hiring practices for most VC-backed and public companies

Some try to do something more like "real-world" tasks, but those end up either being either just toy problems, or long take homes

Personally, I feel the most important things to prioritize when hiring are: is the candidate going to get along with their teammates (colleagues, boss, etc), and do they have the basic skills to relatively quickly learn their jobs once they start?
Isn't the reasoning thing essentially a bolt-on to existing trained models? Like basically a meta-prompt?
It is kind of an odd chasm. Users care about and pay for pixels. Sometimes decision makers care about underlying technologies as they don't actually interact with the pixels (e.g. SAP).

I also think that not caring at all about the underlying stuff (particularly if approached from a standpoint of arrogance) can cause you to miss important inflection points that might make a huge difference. Of course, the opposite (e.g. arrogantly not caring about the pixels) is probably worse.
I grew up in NW lower Michigan. Cherry and other fruit tree country. Orchards need a lot of labor to maintain to get marketable fruit. I've seen several go wild and become deer feed.
Also, they don't really scale as the grow as you need to spend more on infrastructure. Orchards now plant dwarf rootstock. This results in trees that bear fruit quicker but don't grow much larger that a human can pick by hand. They need a lot of care (water and pruning) relative to larger trees but the economics of the larger trees don't work as well as they take many years to bear fruit and then they need the infrastructure to prune and harvest because they are so big.
It's not a simple thing at all.
Or maybe GitHub built these features over 10 years ago and millions upon millions of people use them daily without issue. You can literally have any semblance of what you're describing with a PR check, and that feature is also pretty old. The API is right there, you just have to use it.
Indeed. I wonder what the architecture for Claude and Grok3 is. If they're still dense models was the MoE excitement with R1 was a tad premature...
