News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Next step they'll rebrand search as "Copilot Search" or auto enable pull-request AI reviews (unless you hear about it and turn each off) and we'll all be "users".

Boiling the frog with a Venn diagram.

As a society we have undertaken massive efforts to reduce all of those. Certainly debatable if it's been enough but ignoring the new thing by putting zero effort in while it's still formative seems short-sighted.

Could this be applied to other models like Llama2 or Mistral?
I think this is part of why they’re so expensive. If you can only go off reputation, you pay for it.

Kinda reminds me of all the early Twitter clones where you could post 141 or unlimited or whatever size posts. Just thinking that mathematically bigger is immediately better in all dimensions seems like a common fallacy.
How old is your kid? Feeling like it’s early for my 8 yo, but curious when it might work.
Re:At Home with Down Syndrome (2008) on Friday March 26, 2021 @08:31AM (#26591289)
Different situation but I have a 6yo with downs and this rings true to me.

He’s always trying to crack a joke. He’ll say loudly “good night Uschi!” (his grandmother’s nickname) to my wife with a grin on his face like he made the funniest joke. Not Seinfeld over here but we laugh pretty hard.

Wrble (https://www.wrble.com) | (Technical Content Marketing: Remote Always) (Developer Customer Success: Remote Always) | Full-time Come help make logging better. New tech makes logging cheaper and faster, help us spread the word and make customers successful.

At Wrble we have an engineering-first culture and are looking to hire people with technical backgrounds that are tired of the software-grind and want to look at other adjacent positions.

Both positions are fully remote now and in the future.

Posted this before but re-posting with a bunch of updates.
Why do we need a special case law for this? Seems like it should already be covered.
I'm not sure what's factually incorrect, as you mention the article says they support it. But their default instructions are very vague about it.

Papertrail for example, their primary syslog configuration page: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/paper...

Way down they say "Optionally, configure encrypted logging with TLS." but don't mention it in the intro paragraphs, or that it's a best-practice, or that people should do it... just that it's "optional".

Re:Mystery seeds: Amazon bans foreign plant sales in US on Sunday September 06, 2020 @10:28AM (#24391544)
It’s likely a totally different product, the seeds just give a verified shipping history. They review the other product on their own account that “ordered” the seeds. The seeds are cheap and make it untraceable back to the original product.

There’s also m.xkcd.com if you tire of hovers.
The rules can be very subjective and inconsistently applied.
Re:It’s Time to Build on Saturday April 18, 2020 @07:58PM (#22912183)
We don’t need to build more things without a market, we need to buy more things that are built right. There’s a surgical mask manufacturer in the states who had capacity a few weeks ago but no hospital would sign a contract, they wanted masks immediately and then go straight back to buying from Asia once this blows over. This same thing could be said for many other categories in the post.

If you buy it, people will build it.

Curious which software platform your school system uses, if you can share.
Re:Show HN: OneDev – A Lightweight GitLab Alternative on Friday January 17, 2020 @08:53PM (#22081628)
As an old school java dev, love seeing it used here! If you’d like to talk about cloud vs on-prem design, hit me up at the email in my profile. I’ve thought about it a lot.
Without the exclusivity agreement, it sounds like you wouldn’t have been reconnected. A community provider probably wouldn’t allocate 70k in capital to bring 3 (potential) customers online.

So you’re benefitting by the subsidy of users in denser areas being forced into exclusivity.

Re:More Fires Now Burning in Angola, Congo Than Amazon on Saturday August 24, 2019 @01:27PM (#20788433)
Anyone have a reference for fire area in all these places? All the stories I’ve seen use “number of fires” which seems useless to figure out severity/comparisons.

Re:Contributing to the Mozilla code base on Friday August 02, 2019 @11:51AM (#20593929)
You need all of that (structures, algorithms, confidence, etc), especially if you're going for a FAANG. But the biggest thing I see new grads lacking is the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in the workplace and on teams. At most smaller startups that's maybe even more important than raw ability.

Find any way you can to gain practical experience. Internships, consulting, open-source. Really anything. The bonus is that you'll gain confidence through this path as well. You'll know you're capable of doing the full job (not just the work).
