I feel like the economics will sort this out automatically, at least for the average first-world citizen.

Most consume way more than they actually utilize for nutritional value. In America, food is entertainment more than anything else. Once the price of this "entertainment" becomes prohibitive, people will start looking at it with the proper perspective.

Simply switching from daily takeout to weekly meal prep can shave $500-1000 off someone's monthly food budget. The time/discipline tradeoff is complex, but ultimately a hungry person will figure something out.
I bet a lot of the issue is just the CLIP encoding. It's doing a ton of work getting text prompts into vector form, and it's incredible it does so well as is, but past a point you're squeezing blood from a stone. It's just not a full language model! Bump up the size, or figure something out about the space it's working in, I bet you'd see huge improvements.
Hot rodders love it - they build their fuel systems for it, though.
this is probably cheating-it's beyond "original Amiga hardware"-but there were various expansion boards like the Video Toaster which did video switching and effects, and later editing.

I was originally going to suggest the Amiga's video genlock that enabled products like the Toaster, but it looks like WinUAE can simulate genlock via an external AVI file.

disclaimer: was not an Amiga user or analog video professional; some of that might not be totally accurate or use the correct terms. And iiuc, the 1000/500 series for example didn't have the expansion capabilities of the 2000.

Hello, I'm Cameron and I'm a Jack of all trades, master of some.

I have about 15 years Linux experience, 10 years Python experience, and 5 years machine learning experience. I have worked for a Fortune 100 corporation, a FinTech startup, and a supercomputing center. I studied finance and physics in my bachelor's, and am in the final semester of my data science and physics master's.

I'm currently looking for work as a data scientist or ML engineer to apply my quantitative, computational, and analytical skills.
sento.io | Backend Engineer/Fullstack | Munich, Germany | ONSITE / REMOTE (Germany/close EU) | Full-time | https://sento.crew.work/jobs

sento builds technical infrastructure to automate exchange of structured B2B data such as orders, delivery notes and invoices to replace fax and traditional EDI connections. Almost all products we consume on a daily basis are digitally processed via such connections: from manufacturer over logistic service provider to retailer. We are a small, well funded team with a solid customer base - our goal is to automate 1bn supply chain messages by 2026. For this, we need to make our infra rock-solid, get data insights and scale customer onboardings. Team wise, we're looking to build a WhatsApp (small core team working on infra products) rather than a Salesforce.

If that sounds interesting to you, please reach out to me (Nimar, CTO) at: nimar@sento.io and mention HN.

Finding smart, driven and nice(!!!) people is a priority to us which is why we move fast in the recruiting process :)

I've followed a lot of Brendan's low-level talks and blogposts, and have always enjoyed them.

Good luck at Intel! They do seem like a group that would be interested in the low-level optimization expertise Brendan clearly has!
Online "privacy" is a bad meme. Our digital society would be 100x healthier if you could trust that the persona on the other side is real and can be held accountable for bad behavior.

Advertisers and crooks already have under-the-counter access to our private data (via Equifax, etc.), but we don't get to benefit from it.

Let's get over our misguided ideological fetishization of "privacy" that we adopted when we read a fantasy book by George Orwell in middle school and implement a proper identity scheme for the 21st century.

They have been mismanaged badly and have lost LOTS of money on recent flops. I'll bet the new owners intend to completely write-off substantial chunks of the in-progress work and start clean.
ML is really cool technology with incredible applications and potential. For example, biological genomes can now be sequenced relatively easily but finding the actual protein-coding sequences hidden in these massive genome sequences can be difficult. ML provides some novel approaches to this problem, and can potentially markup these genomes and even classify the probable structure/function of the resulting proteins. Amazing stuff, really.

However, anyone who thinks this tech couldn't go off the rails in the hands of nefarious actors should go read Ed Black's "IBM and the Holocaust" or Josef Teboho Ansorge's "Identify and Sort".
While the fabs might have hit some missteps, Intel’s software group has still been very strong for a long time. MKL and icc are examples of Intel putting effort into software (I can’t remember whether they hobble it on AMD which would be a real shame). Still a great company and will likely be a leader again.
Well, it’s providing significant entertainment value; does that count?
It is a very good predictor of breakage anywhere. Code where the autotools are perfectly configured normally is very close to correct.

It's usually not broken on my own code because I will write a DAG builder in bare C before I use them personally, so I don't know the breakage timing.
I have found that there are a decreasing number of devs that understand core JS/HTML/CSS because of all the abstraction from the myriad of frameworks.

Good luck!

We tried and failed to create a “bug capture” offering in Testim.io - what helped us work with comapnies like Microsoft/Salesforce and eventually make an exit and sell to a much larger player (Tricentis) is focusing on rock-solid AI improving tests. The founder still believes the capture idea (qa capture bugs for devs) has a lot of merit but I think there are fundamental issues with anything that doesn’t reproduce timing perfectly (some do like Firefox’s replay.

I’m not with Testim anymore but still very excited people tacking this problem and I warmly recommend pinging Oren@testim.io (the founder, an engineer, a GDE and a nice guy) for pointers - he likes giving free advice and investing in new players in the space to cultivate the ecosystem (most companies currently have no e2e tests)
Well, what it tells us is that corn is a large fraction of the crops fed to animals but a significantly smaller fraction of crops fed to humans.

Indeed, it looks like there are 915M acres of agricultural land in the US, and of which 89.5M (<10%) is corn, which works out to 4.7% of all US ag land being used to grow corn fed to animals. Like, obviously that much land is “vast” on an absolute scale, just like any non-trivial fraction of a nationwide number, but it doesn’t strike me as an obviously unreasonable percentage.

Here’s a pretty good chart:

https://www.arespectfullife.com/2018/08/05/41-of-u-s-land-is...

So if we accept that the pasture range cannot be used for crops, then what we are looking at is the animal feed area (which is both fodder and crops that could be eaten by humans but is eaten by animals). It’s 125M acres, I think, or ~14% of all ag land.
When this first came out, I recall reading that the reason the watchdog timer was reset from the timer interrupt was because as they added more software and overloaded the CPU, things got slower and the timer started triggering during normal operation. This caused the engine to hiccup if the vehicle was moving, or stall if you were at a stop. (IIRC reboot takes ~125ms, so no spark during this time)

The watchdog is the last-ditch failsafe, in a safety-critical system, and they basically disabled it because it was inconvenient. In some businesses (aviation?) you could probably be convicted of something for doing that, whether or not it ever hurt anyone.
For what it's worth, the architecture for seti@home doesn't make much sense any more in the modern era for most types of data processing. It's simply too slow and error-prone to transfer large amounts of data between user machines. Modern radio telescope data analysis happens at datacenters with a lot of GPUs in them, just like modern AI model training.

I'm currently employed at a really cool place, but I'm looking for work more aligned with my interests: farming, water conservation, crunchy scientific stuff, things that actually help people, medicinal mushrooms.

The short version of my resume is: I have a lot of experience with mobile app development, hardware like arduino and raspberry pi, and backend stuff related to apps and websites. Light experience with DSP, web apps, QA, UX, and a million other things. I've also presented at a number of conferences and customer meetings, so I'm comfortable with that kind of thing.
Depends on your definition of microscopic. The USA is a world-leading producer of a number of agricultural products, including corn, soybeans, beef, and in the top 10 producers of a staggering number of other crops.
It's compelled by law and done at behest of government, it's a search of your 'papers'.

If it were voluntarily you could continue with the transaction if the two private parties were OK with going forward without KYC. The analogy here is when stopped by a policeman and asked to search, you can decline and continue walking on with your voluntary activity -- if the policeman told you that you had to turn around and stop your voluntary activity for declining the search then it would violate the 4th amendment and the search would be involuntary. In this case the voluntary activity is engaging in services that involve government-imposed KYC.
Hello, friendly Cloudflare employee here... there's a much simpler alternative to managing cache policy if your whole website is static. We built a tool for deploying static websites to Cloudflare [1]. It watches your Git repo for changes, then rebuilds your site and serves _all_ the assets from our edge servers. No need to configure page rules or cache policy, because there's no more origin. The free tier covers 500 builds per month (at most, you'll do 1 build per commit, so you should be covered just fine).

I helped develop Tunnel over the last ~3 years, and I love it, but it's definitely overkill if you just want to serve some static files on the edge.

(Please delete if this goes against HN policy, I'm trying not to be a shill here, just help tristor avoid spending an hour configuring page rules and cache policies)

Would need an emulated MacOS GPU. The only way I could see this working is that there is a way through OS X hypervisor on Big Sur or > to passthrough metal.
Actually the AES encryption they implemented is ALSO broken. The premium instances of AES-256, "512" and "1024" were totally broken and based on zero-content blocks, the security gets reduced to 128-bit in all scenarios.
So yeah, AES itself not broken, but.. the places it implements AES-256, 512, and 1024, were broken by implementation.
This how Apple Pay works to make a physical payment (which is the main case of this thread):
1 - Click two times on the iPhone powerbutton
2 - Unlock the phone with the FaceID
3 - Take the phone and put it on top of the terminal

ALSO, if you're already using your phone, you must press again the powerbutton two times, unlock Apple Pay with FaceID and then put the phone on top of the terminal.

Google Pay (using a Galaxy S22...)
1 - Unlock the phone using the fingerprint reader
2 - Put it on top of the terminal

If you're already using the phone just put it on top of a terminal and will pay your bill.

Seems like a small issue, but considering that until a few weeks ago we were still using masks, I sometimes had to input my phone pin in front of everyone to access Apple Pay, even if I had the phone unlocked before getting to the pay terminal...

Hey all - I’m a former healthcare VC that’s working through a CS master’s degree at Penn with the ultimate goal of jumping into an engineering or product role. As a VC at Echo Health Ventures (http://www.echohealthventures.com) I invested in healthcare delivery businesses like Dispatch Health, Genome Medical, Heartbeat Health, and TytoCare. I helped these businesses find product/market fit, scale operations into new markets and channels, and optimize their financial planning / fundraising. Prior to Echo I was a healthcare investment banker at J.P. Morgan.

My master’s program has a flexible schedule so I’m primarily looking for an internship or “working student” role where I can start contributing to a product in a professional context. Feel free to reach out if you have a role that could be a good fit for a highly motivated graduate student with substantial real-world experience and a growing tech skill set.

I’m also available to serve as a formal or informal advisor to venture-backed businesses. As an ex-VC, I have lots of insight into fundraising, business planning, and product development (especially in the healthcare space). I’d love to help de-mystify VC for early startups and/or work with established teams to help optimize capital formation or product development. For this type of engagement, I’d prefer to work with folks who are local to Seattle, but I’m open to a remote arrangement as well. Reach out and we can grab a coffee or set up a zoom meeting to get introduced.

Look forward to chatting with you!
That is what is said, and also expected by a large distribution of people of all genders.

Reality is that the competition is doing many nonconsensual things at all steps of the way. Its really disgusting (if you care about that at all) and it undermines the handwavy ambiguous logic of “masculine man getting the women”, they are saying that a masculine person can get into or out of any situation with using force, the implicit threat of force along with resolve to use it, and that this concept alone is appreciated to create sexual desire. That's impossible to reconcile in a consent driven and collaborative world.

Many/most men are not attractive, when apps are involved the inputs are still mostly visual, compared to the inputs possible in person that are also relevant across genders. Women are with the same men and build their own frustrations off of the same few men they are predominantly being with.
How about the majority of the world's people who are not first world citizens?

Why do you need the brakes? The nearest freeway on ramp to my home is unusually short, and it's a 270 degree turn. I've had to get very good at getting my vehicle to accelerate as quickly as possible around that curve so that I can merge safely when the on ramp ends.

I don't need the brakes to do that, in fact the front brakes in most vehicles are usually much stronger and the braking bias is usually weighted greatly in favor of the front brakes. So again, I really don't know why you need the brake, especially in a front wheel drive car... you're just fighting the engine and the brakes can usually win that fight (except for in high powered rear wheel drive cars where the rear brakes are weak and the engine can overpower them).
But we don't feed grain to cows, unless it's stuff like brewery mash where it's already been used to make human food.

You cannot necessarily grow different stuff in the same field. Not all crops do well in the same kind of soil. For example, you need totally different soil for potatoes than you do for cereal crops if you want them to actually grow.
if you don’t respect the boring stuff only someone who doesn’t care about your respect will work with you

this is a recipe for pain

either do the business yourself or find a way to value the work the business will do
What explains the abundance of trucks that I see here in suburbia? Or in places like the Bay Area, where there's never, ever any snow.
My headphones (Sony WH-710n) have ~35 hours of battery life. That's a bit over 4 workdays of battery life. They seem to recharge from very low to full in less than an hour. So every few days I'll plug them in at my desk for about an hour, and I'm good for another few days. Its not too difficult for me to find up to an hour every four days to charge them. Its not like I'm having to micromanage charging them, needing to plug them in every night or else I don't have headphones at all the next day. And they charge off the same cable as a lot of the stuff in my bag already, USB-C.
If your terminal can't work over a serial port, is it really a terminal?
I was watching this just because it's fun to see bad implementations. I was totally caught offguard when the vendor presented their own view of the problem! Did not see that coming. Makes for a more interesting presentation IMHO (both sides of the issue, no finger pointing)!

often we hear about how broken something is, very RARELY do you get to see the remediation action and decision making. Hats off to the guys at EncSecurity for stepping up to fix their issues AND sharing the lesson with the industry.
