Let's hypothetically say I'm a PHD student who is half way through my studies and I have a halfway written version of one of these "preprints" - what do I do?

Seems like a lot of PHD students are doing to have to pivot the entire structure of their PHD studies? Or just produce something which is already written by OpenAI?

2 years in stealth...

Ah brings back Halo 2 memories

how much of this is just trying to optimize the nutrition facts to come across as less unhealthy? the "full of air" version is half the fat and has less sugar. consumers are generally trending in the direction of avoiding these two line items so guess it's a win win for breyers if it's also cheaper to make.

edit: also if i'm looking at the website correctly, it looks like both the "ice cream" version and the "frozen dairy desert" version are the same price ($6.99):

This story has been played out numerous times already. Anthropic (or any frontier lab) has a new model with SOTA results. It pretends like it's Christ incarnate and represents the end of the world as we know it. Gates its release to drum up excitement and mystique.

Then the next lab catches up and releases it more broadly

Then later the open weights model is released.

The only way this type of technology is going to be gated "to only corporations" is if we continue on this exponential scaling trend as the "SOTA" model is always out of reach.

I checked with their "AI chat" about whether I could lock in current prices by renewing early but they said they would not allow this. I'm kind of surprised that there is no option to do this (I see Jetbrains as an example of a company which makes this very easy)

I've been a 1password customer for many years, so I'm a bit bummed out about this.

Sorry for the late reply, this was for when you're adding a renovation for instance and there is a section for "notes" - you can hit `ctrl+e` and it will open in an editor.

Looks like it doesn't register `$VISUAL` but does use `$EDITOR` not sure if that is a `xdg-open` behavior though.

This is awesome, love the sense of humor and just downloaded it and started adding data.

Only small piece of feedback is that I would use `$VISUAL` when opening the editor. When I tried to use `Ctrl+e` it opened nano which I haven't used in ages.

Edit: Oh looks like you use `$EDITOR` - I just didn't have that set. Awesome!

These are the projects which make me love Show HN!

Gemini flash thinking:

You can edit the "products" represented in the table and add "Ladybird" to the list. [1]

Their result is: 1974740 / 2152733 (91%)

They also have their own dashboards tracking this [2]

Should have turned down the volume on my phone.

My reaction to be thrust into this responsibility is different if my parent just up and left vs died.

It’s my responsibility into the later and me assuming their responsibility in the former.

Stack overflow is built using C# and I remember there being a large Microsoft stack developer community on SO back when I used it. That might skew the results

For some context on demographics of this survey: I signed up for SO in about ~2011 and haven’t participated in SO since about 2015. But I have generally positive sentiment towards the survey so I do it every year.

A lot of comments in this thread make the assumption that the only respondents are people who actively use SO but that isn’t true. I just get notified about the survey through email every year and respond.

They include the kernel config here[0]

> Containers achieve sub-second start times using an optimized Linux kernel configuration[0] and a minimal root filesystem with a lightweight init system.

The speed is less correlated with the language it’s implemented in, and more with the amount of man hours spent building and optimizing it.

Vapor is a very small project, and thus is slower then other larger more mature projects.

The question then becomes whether or not it's possible (or will be possible) to effectively use these LLMs for coding without already being an expert. Right now, building anything remotely complicated with an LLM, without scouring over every line of code generated, is not possible.

With Neon going to Databricks, the pool of potential buyers dramatically shrank.

I'll always remember finding that Pocket had exposed their Redux dev tools to production and they had a "dev panel" you could open that allowed you to bypass all the payment walls (for example switching fonts, layouts, etc). Never used Pocket though, so it didn't do much for me besides being fun to find.

> i.e. if you wag your tail chasing a bad end for 15 mins, this is a fail in an interview

In all pair programming interviews I have run (which I will admit have been only a few) I would fail myself as an interviewer if I was not able to guide the interviewee away from a dead end within 15 minutes.

If the candidate wasn't able to understand the hints I was giving them, or just kept driving forward, then they would fail.

From a long time ago (~2009) but this comment instantly reminded me of the gem which was Plenty Of Fish

Andreas has been talking about liking and exploring Swift since before he started working on Jakt [0] and if you look at Jakt you will clearly see it is heavily influenced by Swift.

Similar to Safari on IOS it does not work with Chrome on IOS.

This says that Terry didn't release the source code for the kernel or the bootloader. I'm not sure if I'm reading that correctly, since the entirety of TempleOS was built within TempleOS:

- Kernel: https://github.com/cia-foundation/TempleOS/tree/archive/Kern...

- Bootloader: https://github.com/cia-foundation/TempleOS/tree/archive/Adam...

- Bootloader documentation: https://github.com/cia-foundation/TempleOS/blob/archive/Doc/...

What are you going to replace it with for internet purchases?

This assumes that the majority of people read past the headline.

Not quite sure I would blindly trust this account from Madoff, as it was made within a letter to his daughter-in-law who disliked him due to how hard this situation was on her husband (who later committed suicide). She wrote him purely to boast about the life he was missing out on, and to chastise him about what he had done to his family.

There are also accounts of him being injured (some accounts saying severely) during his early years within prison.

Obviously as he spent more years in the system he became more comfortable and may have had a more or less "easy" life. But I would guess that his life wasn't like something out of Goodfellas.

I’ve never seen a car get the same amount of attention at this price point. There is certainly a slice of the population who is excited by the idea of people stopping and taking a picture of their car. The slice is not big, but it’s enough to satisfy Tesla.
