So MS invested $1bn into OpenAI. Meanwhile, these volunteers built an OSS version of OpenAI’s flagship product in their spare time.

Can you imagine if we could redirect funds to actual OSS developers at scale?
Shoeshine boys in the 1920s did not have access to 10-Ks at a press of a button like they would now.

Also, with crypto, there is no point in doing due diligence because the coins in question could disappear tomorrow due to a rugpull or code vulnerability, which no amount of 3rd party DD could know. That's why everyone chases fast gains.
Went down the rabbit hole and was surprised to learn that the U.S. spends more than any other country on education. Lots more interesting takeaways — from Canada, Singapore, Finland, South Korea, and Germany — here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/07/us-education...
Calories are estimation - we guess how food is consumed and gave reasonable amount of measurements for it.
That's actually part of the definition of a calorie: "The modern (small) calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C"
I think like a lot of other similar verticals (exercise etc.) there's quite a bit of cargo-culting, and that def gets scammy.

But for what it's worth, I do enjoy reading self-help stuff -- though for me the practice is what I focus on, not necessarily the results. People are pretty good at knowing WHAT to do, but actually doing it deliberately and doing it well is the hard part, see: exercise etc.

I do think there's a signal-to-noise issue going on with self-help books, and often times the people who need the help are understandably bad at figuring out which things are good vs bad for them.

ah! I stand corrected. I swear I had two calls in the last 3-4 months with some Samsung Next folks where it was like, "yeah, we're kind of outta this game."

This is why Medicare needs to adopt a quality adjusted life year test for medical reimbursement, like most countries with socialized healthcare.

The FDA should not be taking costs and pricing into account when approving new drugs.

Plus the energy to melt the ice, 0.016kg * 334kJ/kg = 5334J = 1274 cal.

A grand total of 1.8kcal per ice cube. Only 1000 ice cubes and you could eat twice as much as usual!

At around 16 liters of water once melted that would be an interesting Darwin Award for sure.
Interesting if true, but I'd like to see a writeup with analysis, examples, and so forth.
Something something rose-tinted glasses.

You could schedule in advance. Now having them actually show up? That was debatable. lol
Did not know that thing existed, super useful. Thanks a ton.
It can, through the second order effects you mentioned yourself. Eating more x or less y can definitely help you reduce your calorie intake without feeling hungry all the time.
A lot of British general were KIA so they at least they also lead themselves to the slaughter.

Except I don't own a vehicle. I use public transit, walk, ride a bike, carpool - do all of the things that the government "wants me to do" but I don't get a rebate or any kind of exemption. I pay the same amount of road tax as my father who drives a Ford F150 an hour to an from work everyday, and my step-mother that drives an SUV even though she has zero need for one. I probably actually pay _relatively_ more because they "consume" more of the road at the same cost (ie. do more damage to it by engaging in activities which cause more wear and tear on the road).

People who consume more, should pay more. Period.

It's still a power/cash grab at my expense.

"There's a super portrait group of the war leaders in the National Portrait Gallery in London. I'm amazed it hasn't been mutilated by now."

Why would it be threatened? I'm not clear on why the portrait of WWI generals is controversial.
> "I think that a who does not care about his or her end user is a worse in concrete ways"

You're just....saying things...? What does "Caring about the end user" have to do with "Believing in your product"?
Not sure how if you've found the same for yourself, but for me, my body adapts quickly to certain items that I consume - such that any deviation from the schedule and I get minor/mild discomfort.

e.g. Switching up meal timings after eating consistently for a while, or stopping my morning coffee, or a sudden reduction in water intake, etc.

I think what works best (for me) is to have a varied approach where you don't stick to one schedule/program.
But it is not a cessation product. It is for people that want to continue to smoke nicotine at a fraction of the risks. Is nicotine bad by itself?
At that point, can we all just agree IP is the stupidest concept to ever be layered on top of math (which programming is) and move on with non-copyrightable code?
Shouldn't it be /dev/stdout ?

As a side note, I am struggling to be comfortable with the word hunk in this context. I would automatically use the word chunk for this usage need. Magit introduced it to me and I balked at the usage. I looked up the etymology and it seems to be a totally legitimate usage - [0]- but to me the word 'hunk' immediately conjures up - as a heterosexual - attractive, sexually appealing man.

I think this is easier to see if we consider a milliter of water and stick with celsius.

1ml of water weights 1 gram, and raising this ml of water one degree celsius is 1 (little c) calorie.

Drinking 1 ml of ice water (at about 0 degrees celsius) and raising it to body temperature (at about 37 degrees celsius) thus takes about 37 (little c) calories.

Thus drinking a liter of ice cold water would consume about 37 (big C) Calories.
A crypto wallet is a handful of bytes. Perhaps a string of words if you are using passphrases as mnemonics. Where does that exist? A bank or exchange does have a physical location and would exist somewhere, but a crypto wallet really has no defined location unless specifically being held in a defined place on a defined server as per business rules. Its like saying "you cannot leave South Africa because your body is worth, like, um 50,000 USD in harvested organs..."

It does appear that a Schedule C ends up with more cash after taxes, when factoring in the 199a. I need to revisit my assumptions.
That still seems like eight billion dollars short of ten billion.
I don't think using an IDE to catch lots of stupid simple mistakes is bad. It's how I prefer to work.

> It looks really strange to me to observe other developers constantly compiling and running their code just to see if it works. It kinda looks as if they did not exactly understand what they are doing because if they did, they would be confident the implementation works.

Explain to me how this statement doesn't apply to your use of an IDE, but the other engineers you've observed don't understand what they're doing.

I'm glad that elevators are concerned about such a scenario.
You need both kinds for a good product. Both of these types add something the other is not interested in adding. The most value I ever added was joining a company filled with type X (purposefully avoiding which one) as a type Y and going on a binge of doing incredibly valuable work that had been left as "low hanging fruit" because nobody thought it interesting and/or important enough to give it a good look.
Interesting, got any links?
I didn’t see anything there with ArcaneOS. Are there other online stores where something liked this might be acquired?
I think the surprising part (to me at least) isn't there are communities for elevator lovers, but there is a wiki about it on Fandom.
When I'm on my laptop, in the train, working on Windows, I can't use my home DNS without exposing it to the world and becoming part of every DDoS attack there is. So, for those situations, I've got Firefox set up to do DoH. Windows can do some DNS encryption through a complex setup of local DNS servers but it's nothing as easy as the standard Linux setup.

Similarly, I use DoT on my phone but if I want to connect to any hotspot, I have to disable DoT because the hotspot login detection fails with DoT configured. I think it's a Xiaomi thing. Regardless, I need to disable it to use. In one particular case (scanning groceries in the supermarket for the automated payout) I can't fall back to LTE like usual. Just in case I forget to turn DoT back on, I've also configured Firefox on my phone to use DoH because the mechanism is there and I might as well.

There's small edge cases where I just like to fall back to browser DoH. DoT and I'm network DNS still works fine, of course.

My first personal computer was an Apple II+, and let me tell you, those schematics and other available information made it crazy hackable. I wired and coded all kinda fun features into that thing that it wasn't technically even supposed to be capable of, and it was hella fun doin' it. :)
One of the interesting developments is precision medicine: we can now use genomic sequencing and AI to "search" for the treatment that is most likely to be effective against a particular individual's cancer rather than following the rough "standard of care" playbook (for example, depending on the type of cancer, the standard of care might be 6 months of chemo, and if that doesn't work try something else, repeat until cancer goes away or patient dies). The precision medicine approach at this point seems to be among the things that we try if the standard of care doesn't work, but hopefully one day it will be step one (chemo sucks and it is an expensive use of precious time). In addition to searching for treatments, we can also search for clinical trials for which a patient is a good fit--this helps both the research side (it's very hard to find qualified patients) and possibly patients who don't have better options (and of course the research itself benefits future cancer patients).
thanks for the officers picture

I find it absolutely mesmerising because of the part they played (both good or bad - depending on your subjective view point) on the number of deaths in the great war

It's still a bit clunky. Not every app supports every video format, and RSS doesn't cleanly do fallbacks.

Our goal right now is to create a publishing platform that smooths over some of these hiccups (for example, generating backwards-compatible RSS links for each app), as well as creating incentives for apps to coalesce around HLS/m3u8 natively.
Oddly drinking more water makes me more hungry! Always!!
If only NewPipe had access to Google's recommendation engine (or its dataset). That's the only reason why I'm on youtube.com a lot.
Or in metric - weight of the ice in grams, multiplied by difference in temperature of your body and the ice.
Again, it depends on elasticities. Businesses can't just raise prices and expect demand to remain at old levels. People quickly substitute goods and services in the face of price changes. In the case of mcdonalds price increases cause people to cook or eat food that doesn't need to be prepared. In the case of rent, supply is fixed, so landlords are already charging monopoly prices. There is very close to zero wiggle room for landlords to raise prices.
Like, that thing above is promoted all the time - while Americans are getting heavier and heavier. And while most people who loose weight gain it back again and some more.

As an advice, it is most common and there are no promissing long term weight loss results of it.
I'm reading this book right now. And this sentence is unfairly dismissive and misrepresents the book. It's not just a book that tells you to "remember names" and "make people feel important". Maybe if you only take a superficial reading. The anecdotes described seemingly tell you obvious things, but for me it underlines some useful and deep truths about basic human psychology and how to leverage it when interacting with fellow human beings. And for almost every rule or anecdote described I can recount situations in my life where those lessons could've been applied to avoid conflicts.
Because it depicts a group of people who, without hesitation, willingly caused incredible suffering across an entire continent. And they did so at a time that perceived itself to be the result of the enlightenment and humanism.
Clearly I need to bow out of this conversation, because I'm speaking as someone living in the US familiar with US laws, and the discussion is taking a distinctly provincial turn. I'm not sure why discussing church-state relations only in terms of Canadian law is of much interest to HN, but I'll concede that I have nothing to contribute along those lines.
A big source of trying to do too much is environments that offer easy regex-based transformations defined as a pair of regex and a single replacement string (that may contain references to matching groups) and make other transformations hard ("while find + rest"). When you have the option to provide a "process match" closure instead of the replacement string the lure of putting too much into a single regex almost collapses.
"word hard, play hard" is also a red flag
Yes, but Starship is a prototype at the moment. And it'd require the Super Heavy to even reach orbit, which will soon begin testing [0].

Additionally, the engineering requirements for long-term life support are significantly more involved than the Dragon capsule.

There's also the testing and certification process for crewed-missions; in non-Elon time, this is likely several years, conservatively speaking [1]. (I'd love to be proven wrong, however!).

I really wish these issues were more widely discussed here. There was a lot of take-up with the Snowden stuff a few years back. Equifax and the various breahes too. But all that seems rather 2D in comparison to issues like this.
This is an excellent comment because it captures some important nuance missing from other analysis on HN.

I agree with you that the relative importance of the copied code to the end product would be (or should be) the crux of the issue for the courts in determining infringement.

This overall interpretation most closely adheres to the spirit and intent of Fair Use as I understand it.

Well, that makes sense - that's pretty much the level I'm at as a football fan.

> great team tactics (if you know what to watch out for).

Yeah, these are probably wasted on me at my current level of understanding.

> an ideological debate to rival our beloved tabs vs. spaces.

Is there a debate still going on? I thought it was settled - you just set a tab to be 4 spaces and you're done * laughs coyly *.

> they built a team and tactics that allows him to do what he loves

Interesting that somebody can be so much of a singular talent that they would shape a team around him. Does this happen often? Are such teams more frail in the long run if their star leaves?
The panopticon of big tech seems to be a natural result of advertising-supported Internet media. Consumers have definitely proven that they don't mind enough to change their habits. So the government could put strong privacy protections in place, that might reign in some of the "Big Brother" behavior of big tech. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the GOP to endorse that.
> When I visited Korea, I've noticed companies tend to have exact 12-1PM lunchtimes, all at the same time. People raise eyebrows if you leave at 11:50 and return 12:50.

It just seems so inefficient to do it that way? In theory, I guess the company sorta benefits from having everyone on/off at once, but doing it like that basically guarantees traffic jams.
It is a large corporation eroding the integrity of open source licenses. It is perfectly reasonable to be pissed off about this.
What they did is cool and impressive but that's an extreme oversimplification.

Building a small version of something that already exits, has code you can look at (gpt2), paper etc. is going to always be cheaper and easier even if we ignore that OpenAI work on and publish more than gpt. This is before even mentioning that they have an enormous amount of free compute from Google (and others) while Azure credits is a lot of what the 1bn investment to OA included.
Love this.
Doesn’t Microsoft terminal have to be backwards compatible for a ton of historic features though? I would imagine that those sorts of requirements would essentially hobble it. Breaking backwards compatibility isn’t too intriguing for their bottom-line.
I don’t think so. A cursory google search sounds like nicotine itself causes minuscule to no damage by itself.
Just a fairly arbitrary number. It's easy to produce a few lines from memory, up to 10s of lines and that's "obviously" fair use. I would be surprised if many of haven't inadvertently "copied" some GPL code in this way!

This goes to the "substantial" test for fair use. Clips from a film can contain core plot points, quotes from a book can contain vital passages to understanding a character, screen captures and scrapes of a website can contain huge amounts of textual detail, but depending on the four factors for fair use, still be fair use. (There have been exceptions though.)

The reaction on Hacker News to a machine producing code trained on their works is no different than the reactions artists and writers have had to other ML models. I suspect many of us are biased because it strikes at what we do and we think that our copyrights (because we have so many neat licenses) are special. They are not.

I think it would need to get to that level of "Copilot will emit a kernel module" before it's not obviously fair use.

After all, Google Books will happily convey to me whole pages from copyrighted works, page after page after page.

Are you aware of the vim fandom?

It seems to be one of the more complete vim wikis and it's probably the most annoying wiki for a piece of open source software ever. I often go without using whatever information is on there just to avoid listening to my fans (heh) spin up.
Well, Azure prevented you from creating a RG but still let you delete it because that was the role that the client configured for you. AFAIK there's no built-in role that behaves like this, but it's probably a very easy mistake to make - grant permissions on resourcegroups/$name/* , forgetting that * includes delete.

re: SQL Server backups, I assume this was VMs running SQL Server rather than Azure SQL DB (the managed one) ? If it's the latter, then I think the backups will be retained even if the RG is deleted.
As they alluded to, there's a few ways to interpret the statement. Another corollary would be to say that ethical people have a moral obligation to work for defense companies, so that someone less ethical doesn't get the job.
OT: But the website's source has a great way to stop (I guess most) web scrapers from scraping email addresses.
In order to pretend to be a tech company.

Same reason they pretended to work on flying taxis and self-driving cars. The multiple for high tech companies is greater than the multiple for taxi companies or even basic Web2.0-style one-trick app companies.
Weight loss wont be the same. In one csse you will feel tired and passive most of day and wont be able to be active.
Hmm, I think what OP might be getting at is that there is a difference in digestive efficiency when breaking down different foods and converting them to energy. A calorie is a calorie, except when it isn't.
Haha no but I'm not assuming the rocket equation is applied in Earth's gravitation, but maybe the spacecraft could be built far enough from any plants to be impacted by an initial gravitational field.

If nuclear energy is used, it can be increased in less than linear change in mass.

Do you mean at this moment in time because of Covid, or in general?

Because in general, there have been easy-to-find examples in the past couple decades of rents going up 5-10% every year for folks in certain places with aggressive landlords. Were they willing to pay 5-10% more suddenly in year n+1, or were they charged less than the maximum they would've been willing to pay in year n?

Not actually Lenin, but yes that's a common motif in Leninist thought : https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/02/22/rope/

Lenin is the one that pioneered the hybrid authoritarian capitalist system that China is using right now too, so the feeling is very appropriate.
They're also creating an implicit discount for longer-term tenants (which is good for landlords).

When I rented my place in NYC some years ago, the broker fee was meaningful to me. Once I paid it, I was less likely to want to move since I'd have to pay it again vs renewing my existing lease which did not involve another broker fee.

There are two very large logical leaps you've made here:

1. You've leaped from "we haven't discussed what details would make this work" to "it's unworkable". As I said before: obviously details need to be worked out. Your answer to why people downvoted me is basically that I didn't draft fully-formed legislation before presenting the idea on HN. If you'd like to discuss details, I'd be happy to do so, but saying "it's unworkable" outright without hearing those details, or worse, downvoting without explanation, are not ways to continue that discussion.

2. You've leaped from "the edge cases are unworkable" to "all the cases are unworkable". Are you willing to admit that a law against the case we've both agreed is obvious would be workable?
