That is so effing cool — my only fear with it is whether you could turn it into a sustainable business, because I want that project to be around for a long time.

I don't see that. I would want a special tool for something that does not display well as text, like a 3D scene.

I imagine I also want a specialized tool for, say, reviewing 3D models before printing them. And they would definitely like addresses to be shown in a navigable map.

But that type of interface already exist (and has been #killedbygoogle) - its Google Wave.

That sounds really cool — I tend to agree with you that S3 and similar are underutilized, but I remember that essentially all of the providers charge for bandwidth measured in gigabytes and I'm like no. My consumer line is measured in megabits per second and if I have to pay for my data usage the way it's paid for in data centers it would be far more expensive. Somehow consumer ISPs, who have to pay for the lines, are cheaper than than the cloud providers.

This is a prerelease and the title should have reflected that.

It appears to me as if Golang has implemented part of the actor model. As I recall, it was neither set up to transfer free-form messages between the actors nor for the actors to persist beyond the given task.

Erlang has had both for over 20 years; it has also had green threads for equally as long—something I don't know if Golang has. I'm sure Golang cannot split itself to run on multiple machines with its actor model. Erlang can.

Human memory decays; similarly, LLMs do not have perfect recall. But even if I reread a book every month for 60 years and use the knowledge in there to build a 25 billion dollar empire, the only thing the author is ever going to get from me is the $10.25 the book cost me. And no court in the western world would say he's due more.

The ChatGPT web app, though apparently not the desktop app, does have a study mode where it will not give you the answer but will help you reason through the problem like the world's most knowledgeable, most attentive teacher.

I'm a huge fan of Docker sandbox at work — very confusingly, of course the Docker sandbox doesn't use Docker but it does allow your LLM to run its own internal Docker stack. Anyway, I digress.

There is the question between alignments to society and alignments to the user. I don't think anyone wants the AI model to not give up a task that is impossible to do, and end up causing damage in the process, but I think a lot of us are tired of refusals for bad reasons or unjustified refusals.

You use Entra. Entra can do jwt’s.

Saml is just not reasonable in our modern security environment.

Correct.

The real benefit is that the use of an LLM allows me to convey to it 1747 bits of scrambled information in an order that fits what's actually inside my head, and then have it unscramble that and convert it down to the 1000 you need. It can do that better and faster than I can.

It massively reduces the time it takes to make a short letter.

I want to say that they released a version since then before 2.5, but I'm not entirely sure. I should also note that I do not know a single Chinese character, so it's possible they are broken in such a way that I wouldn't necessarily notice. I do remember, however, that English text used to be broken; now it's completely readable.

There is nothing wrong with social media; if anything, we need more social media.

What we need less of are the attention-maximizing, eldritch-horror things that have stolen social media and now walk around wearing the skins of the entity that summoned it.

Facebook is not social media — if you don't believe me, go on Facebook and count how many posts are from people you had mutual interactions with and actively choosen to follow and how many are everything else (not including native ads, I understand the platforms have to make moeny).

It's the same issue, if not worse, on X/Twitter.

I wouldn't know the status of TikTok for the same reason I don't know what the current status of street drugs, but as I understand it you can't even meaningfully follow people on TikTok — it's just mindless consumption from people you don't know.

How can it be social media if there's no social component?

Email is social media; chatting with your guild members in World of Warcraft is social media. Until at least a few months ago, commenting on a pull request on GitHub was more social media than Twitter was.

The first step in dealing with the world is to look at things as they actually are, not as they were twenty years ago.

Just think about how recently we got that feature in the official ChatGPT image gen. And now we have that running locally — assuming that is, I can figure out how to get this running on my Mac — blows my mind.

One of the things I liked about Zig is that it made choosing which memory strategy (malloc, stack allocated, Arena, Bounded allocation, combo) you needed for a particular code second straightforwarded and well supported.

Microbenchmarks are cool, but better algorithms are where you get faster code.

Honestly, the business would probably be best off if it showed whatever poster had the biggest and most exposed tits regardless of where it came from. Humans be humans and sex sells.

Sadly, just my ESL and bad spelling.

I am torn on that. It seems fine for a corporate site to be sure employees are using their company issued tokens to access company data.

It does not seem fine for any other site to do this.

This may be the only place where it would be good with a software patent: corporate would not mind having to pay 10 usd/user/year, Google would never.

Thats true. This story makes me think artists are spoiled and entitled little shits, which isn’t fair to all of them of cause.

I wanted to buy a JetKVM earlier, but could not find any that I could see shipped in Europe.

That would be an obvious question to ask their chatbot.

Sports betting screws extremely male.

Strange New World feels like TOS. Picard was amazing for season 3 (and, lord knows, most ST gets better in the later seasons).

It is also not really appropriate for HN.

There will always be people leaving companies because they don't believe in them anymore.

I assume these companies are backed by the Chinese state.

Too many times in human history we have decided that $GROUP was not fully human, did not have a full mind.

This is properly overkill, but that is literally what erroring on the side of caution is.

Sometimes I am convinced that there are no good products and so all advertising must happen for bad products.

I mean how often do you see an ad for a product, buy it (not even from the ad itself, maybe from a recommendation from a friend) and you are happy with the product and think the ad was truthful?

Oh, for sure. It's phenomenally engaging. The main issue is that the first chapter is essentially a fly on the night sky, watching the events that happened on the day that Harry Potter's parents were murdered.

Super cool, but absolutely meaningless the first time you read the book because you don't know it yet.

I think chapters one—sorry, chapters two and three is mostly Harry getting his letter and the various hi-jinx that Uncle Vernon goes through to avoid the owls finding Harry at increasingly improbable addresses where somehow the owls still find Harry.

Then Hagrid shows up and explains to Harry that you are a wizard. And for 13-year-old me, that was off to the races.

Right and left has little meaning in modern politics. What is a bit more concerning is the allegations of getting money from Russian.

As for a resurgence of the nazi horror: their leader is in a mixed race lesbian relationship.

It took me more than a week to go through the first chapter in the first Harry Potter book.

It took me 4 days to finish the rest. This is because the pacing was wrong - the first chapter should have been the last.

That is correct and important, but does any part of that not apply to the only manual?
