Does this depend on sliding sync and their standalone authz server like Element X does? I'd love to use Element X, but Element abandoned the form of SSO my community depends on, and I don't really have an appetite to spend 12 hour

Hi, OP. Any thoughts on why to prefer using your OLTP for queueing as opposed to Kafka? In my mind it would be a drop in ease of observability (though there is still KSQL and a number of UI wrappers) in exchange for much better performance.

The em dash existed long before LLMs. The fact that 95% of people don't use dashes properly doesn't mean that every single person who uses an em dash is relying on an LLM.

Who cares if they pay attention to 429s? Your load balancer is giving them the boot, and your expensive backend resources aren't being wasted. They can make requests until the cows come home; they're not getting anything until the

You might as well have asked the pen on your desk how much it knows about you. Whether your personal data is in the current LLM context window or not has nothing to do with whether it was collected from you by Mistral.

That sounds considerably more narrow than what the GP described. What if I don't have an alternate HN account? Or what if I do have one, but it has barely any posts? How can you tie this account back to my identity? Stylometry.net is d

It's a tough lesson, but a good one to learn early: never waste time with interview take home assignments. This is especially true for broad and ambiguous assignments that you will need to sink lots of time into. What if there are 300

That's funny, there isn't any mandate for using LLMs at my company. Everybody has just quietly added them to their workflows without being told. LLMs are like chainsaws. In the right hands, they can help you do the same job faster

WhatsApp and Telegram are hardly replacements for Tor access. A government can block them easily. The onion service's days were numbered after they fired Runa Sandvik. I'm surprised it lasted this long. Looking at the pay and curr

I sat down on my desktop to take a closer look at how Kagi implemented this. It turns out that the privacy pass extension isn't the one implemented by CloudFlare (and rejected by Tor), but a new extension called Kagi Privacy Pass. Ok,

It depends on the algorithm you use to encrypt your data. Only asymmetric cryptography is threatened. There is no realistic threat to symmetric encryption like AES. If you are encrypting your cloud data with ed25519 or RSA, then yes, a quan

They are running stock Llama 3.x. If the underlying models support structured output, so will they. For example, I know the latest batch of Mistral models all have json output support.
