I fed it yesterday's and it did essentially a perfect run, even though it wasn't certain about 1 of the words in the 3rd guess.

Today it got 1 error, but only because it correctly identified palindromes but there were 5 and it picked the wrong one, and it was its first guess. After that it swiftly found all the categories.

I also fed today's same prompt to the o1-mini and it just outright sucked, even repeated an incorrect guess immediately after being told it was wrong. There's definitely quite a leap between the mini and the full o1.

They made ChatGPT with voice available to all free users.

Really wonder why they went ahead with a launch today with 90% of staff ready to jump ship.

Bloomberg's Austin Carr says "Any employees who do join Microsoft can’t simply replicate the work they were doing on OpenAI properties like GPT-5 without inviting a nightmare of claims over trade-secret theft."

But doesn't really explain why, I wonder if there's any substance to it in the light of Satya's comments about having the rights to "continue the innovation".

I do see this useful in cases where you might want to keep something private from the server-side and are not too concerned about server-side tampering.

Then could use basic auth to protect access from outside and a tool like this to protect access from inside.

Is it really doomed because competition showed up? I'd be surprised if they didn't get quite a bit of paying users right away.

I get that competing with an open self-hosted alternative is a tough sell, but is this really different from other pay vs self-host scenarios?

Recently switched to macos for development and I'm really thankful to have found out about Shortcat and Raycast.

Combined with Tridactyl plugin on firefox, I can keep my hands on the keyboard for almost every task across the OS.

A nice next step would be tailscale managing an ssh key that's allowed to do interact with a git(hub) repository. So that I wouldn't have to create multiple keys or setup the same key on different machines and still be able to interact with a repo from all of them.

It'd be really nice just using git transparently and having tailscale take over the git ssh connection and authenticate using taliscale access controls.

At least for personal projects or small teams that'd be quite convenient.

co-pilot can write 90% of the code without me, just translating my explanation into python.

I fear copilot may encourage these type of pseudo-code comments. The most valuable thing the AI doesn't know is WHY the code should do what it does.

Months later, we'll get to debug code that "nobody" wrote and find no hints of why it should behave that way, only comments stating what the code also says.

Seems we're replacing programming for reverse engineering generated code.

Really nice list, the rudiments of wisdom looks great for what I’m after, thanks.

Data visualization books seem perfect for this purpose, thanks!

A branch is just a pointer, not a group.

When you say "the public key for that root certificate is hosted in our private DNS", does that mean the public key is in.. a txt record?

I found cscope essential when working with a 10+M loc C codebase. I wish there were more cscope like tools for other languages, easy to setup and editor agnostic.

Does HN have RSS feeds?

You might benefit from looking through recent conference talks, they are nicely organized in https://pyvideo.org/

Search topics you want to find out and see what’s being presented in the years you’ve been out of the loop.

Spotify’s discover weekly and release radar playlists which are personalized. Those two playlists make the subscription worth it for me.

For specific/niche things, certain subreddits get a fair amount of posts. I suggest reverse searching links to music you enjoy instead of trying to look up a particular sub.

Hype machine and soundcloud also help a bit.

From the linked pdf in the footnotes, looks like they are rolling their own network protocol:

"At launchtime, the VPN protocol will be a Google proprietary protocol; however, to ensure a high throughput while minimizing battery consumption, we will soon adopt IPsec as the data tunnel protocol due to its native support in Android.

We may eventually use other protocols, such as Wireguard, as their native support improves or on platforms where no specific protocols have a specific advantage."

You probably would be considering this opens a vector for account takeover if both auth identifiers are “lost” and you switch emails to a new one. Hope changing that is tied to sending some kind of notification to the original email when that happens, with instructions to undo.

To prevent getting there in the first place, could you do the type of “is this info still alright?” as part of the login flow every now and then? May reduce some of the cases at least.

If this happens just too often, you may need to ask for another means of contact info. Additional email/phone, which should all be pinged whenever auth info changes.

Recently a lot of tweets in the front page, 5 tweets on the frontpage on the same day even just last week[1]

Can't help but think hn now showing the username for some domains including twitter is increasing the submissions somehow? Or maybe people just engage more in discussion around tweets lately.

Some comments here seem to focus on the “Future deprecation notice” of the ssh-rsa signatures. That’s been there for a few releases this year, still not in effect.

If having the solutions is not a must, you could take a dive in trending oss repos. (https://github.com/trending)

I’d say to look for high coverage pieces, so that you prove your refactor is not breaking things.

Then ask for code review, maybe in something like https://codereview.stackexchange.com/

#1 is good, but I’d suggest always using the same set of questions to have a good baseline against which you can compare candidates.

#2 I have mixed feelings about. it may make sense if you’re after an expert on that language but may evaluate wrongly candidates that would be great reading code once they get just a bit more familiar with and get the overall architecture. In many companies, you’d be forbidden from sharing actual code with non employees, so the excerpt shown in the interview would have to be purposely crafted and loose value. I propose a more interesting exercise could be to examine a random piece of opensource that Both the interviewer and interviewee are unfamiliar with and trying to get a good discussion from it, but it’s a risky move leaving the interviewer exposed.

If services were compelled to opensource at some growth point, would you have them be compelled to ensure their codebase is readable?

I’m just imagining that scenario and companies choosing to “opensource” their obfuscated/assembly code.

How would the Pro version compare to zapier?

1.99 minimum seems too cheap vs competitors in the space

I've thought about this in terms of people passing away and the domain no longer being renewed afterwards.

10 years limit on domain registrations seems ridiculous, we need lifetime-span registration capabilities, at least.

Look! Someone made just that cross-editor sync: Gitduck https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24228826

Definitely a step forward in sharing by allowing each person to use their own editor. Looking forward to the vim plugin.

I find myself also sharing consoles too, I'd like to see this extended to terminal sessions, perhaps the session could be rendered in other people's editors? Kind of like a live asciinema.

I'd love to try this at work, unfortunately streaming Corp's code through an unapproved 3rd party service is a no-go. This would've been really useful in college. Hope this catches on!

A great thing would be all sides involved being able to use their own stack of tools to write and navigate the code.

Usual remote control/vnc limit you to use whatever the other person is using, which makes it more difficult when that person isn't using the same stack you are used to (different terminal emulator, shell, editor, OS)

If there was a way for me to edit a file using vim and the other person to use vscode, for example, that would be a good step forward, all while still being able to see where the other's cursor and selections are.

So many articles found that are gone from the original sites, but still readable from the cached version, that's pretty useful!

If Apple/Google are forced to take out the apps from their stores, would they have to take them out of the US only or worldwide?
