I don't think OpenAI is a valid comparison. Huggingface's mission, unlike in the case of OpenAI, is not training models, but being the standard service for sharing them. The vast majority of models and datasets available at the Huggingface Hub have been provided by third-party companies or researchers. They aim to be the Github of ML models and data, not an AI-building startup.
Notes.app also exposes scanning… but often I want to scan to camera roll. They should add a button in Camera.
In my experience, the decision is driven by a VP who wants a bullet point on their year-end review, namely "notional cost savings achieved".
I was subject of an exceedingly well timed and executed email phishing attack which convinced me to use my online banking system to deposit 100k into the attackers account.

Got the money back in full.

God bless the fiat system.
The sickest part is the "billed to insurance" value. You get a medical bill that looks like this:

Cost: $1000

Paid by patient: $200

Billed to insurance: $800

Paid by insurance: $150

Remaining to be paid: $0

I get statements that look like this all the time, where the provider "bills" the insurance for $N, but the insurance pays a fraction of it, and apparently that's "good enough".

But when they tell me "that'll be $200 today, please, we take Visa and Discover", I don't have the option to say "actually I'm gonna pay $50 and that's good enough"
Pieter levels (remoteok.io) has been writing about this for a while. He calls it "async work" https://levels.io/async/

While I'm a fan of the idea. I'm not sure everything can be accomplished asynchronously. Or maybe it just requires more planning up front to make sure peoples do not have a lot of inter-dependencies.

My bank doesn't seem to do root detection. I haven't tried it on a phone without at least microgapps but I'm pretty sure that it just works. Even on LineageOS with root I never really had any problems.

I do recall seeing a popup at one point ("hey we see you've done some weird shit to your phone, call us if you don't knowewhat rooting means" or something like that) but that's really just about it.

I should try running it in Anbox, come to think of it. Would be a fun experience.

If you're a developer in the EU and you think you can do better, the PSD2 system is set up to allow for fintech solutions like these. You'll need to get the necessary documentation in order, or even a license, to get access to actual banking APIs (thank goodness) but from that point on you should be able to write your own app. You'll have to be very careful, though, you don't want to anger the financial regulators.

To be more precise, it took installing a whole bunch of tools until I found a combination that worked for me. Eventually I managed to narrow it down to two, three if you count a workable file manager. One that did windows layout and one that 'fixed' Command-Tab.
> A trainable SDF representation could very well be slower to train than a trainable NeRF representation

Sure. It could very well be faster too (or the same-ish, if it turns out they’re more fundamentally the same than different). Carrying view dependent data around is more bandwidth, potentially significantly more, depending on how you model it. How you model it is under development, and a critical part of the question here.

This all depends on a whole bunch of details that are not settled and can have many implementations. There is significant overlap between the ideas in the Nvidia paper and the EPFL paper, and it’s worth being a bit more careful about defining exactly what it is we’re talking about. It’s easy to say one might be faster. It’s harder to identify the core concepts and talk about what properties are intrinsic to these ideas over a wide variety of implementations, and how they actually differ at their core.
My theory is that showing those ads is a bit of a check: "Are you still there or just letting it play unattended to make money for your favorite creator?"
I really enjoyed working with the Preview team before I retired from Apple. My small group created a private framework that added "document reconstruction" to PDF documents: basically an inferred DOM based on whatever information (mainly geometric) we could use in the PDF document.

Our moment of fame game at WWDC 2009, when Bertrand Serlet talked about Snow Leopard during the Keynote. At around the 5:10 mark he talks about performance improvements to Preview. He then goes on to say "There are also lots of little touches. The one I like is about text selection in PDF files. .... In Snow Leopard, we have used a little bit of AI to infer the structure of the document...." (He then demonstrates intelligent selection across columns) [Applause from the audience]. (https://youtu.be/FTfChHwGFf0?t=306)

My colleague and I presented the proposal to add this "little bit of AI" to a small group from the Graphics and Imaging department. Bertrand was in attendance, and it was thanks to him that we joined G&I. They were a fantastic team to work with!
I'd bet most ancaps are ok with families too, which are collective. I think what they would object to is coerced collectives.
Parts of politics are absolutely emergency medicine. Yes, some things should not change rapidly. But some things deserve urgent attention.

Doing nothing is not always a sensible default.
Yup.

And that’s why author wrote "But as a general rule" instead of as an immuable rule.
The article wasn't taking issue with the conceptual idea of derailments— people operate freight trains; they carry huge loads of toxic chemicals through populated areas; the environment can be impacted.

However, the author didn't definitely show that insanely long trains increase these dangers. They seemed frustrated that driving these trains sucks and talked about how frequently derailments occur and seems to believe the two things are related. The NHSTA numbers seem to indicate the trend for derailments is going down? Perhaps as train size increases, the number of trains decrease and the risk to the individual conductor goes up? Don't know enough about the subject matter to knowledgeably infer an answer, so I won't.
I think you need to categorize divergence into two parts:

a) Divergence in implementation on the same API surface (e.g setTimeout in Node)
b) Divergence in API surface for a similar implementation (e.g WHATWG streams vs Node streams)

The former is obviously much harder to change than the latter, as the latter can be resolved by adding additional API surface. I assume you are talking about the former.

This sort of divergence where implementation differs, but API surface is the same is luckily pretty rare. The most prolific example is setTimeout in Node. It's unclear how exactly the Node project intends to deal with situations like these. It's possible that this is something which can just never be solved in Node, and it just sticks around as a "wart" forever. The solution to compatible APIs for cases like this would likely need to be a new API then. For async timers this could be a promise based API like `Promise.delay()`.

There is unfortunately no "one size fits all" solution for these problems though, which is why this CG exists. We're going to try to categorize and come up with solutions to these problems.
Your inability to get the argument doesn’t distract from the point being made. The article goes into various instances of this phenomenon happening, and your response is that it “sounds bad faith”? Thats not a strong argument.
California isn't the only state with state income tax. Most states have it. The pedantry is on your end.
Google frequently thinks I'm a minor, despite the fact my Google account is by now almost 18 years old (opened back when Gmail was invite-only).

I think their system just blindly classifies every account as minor unless they purchase something.
The largest group of followers "deciding" to "stop doing" something, is something that never happens automatically, they are always influenced by a pioneer.
Since everyone seems to be avoiding direct answers, I have a few ideas:

1. Open source the free, lower quality models (I.e. fewer epochs trained) but sell perpetual licenses to higher quality ones.

2. API access to high quality pre-trained models. Similar to OpenAI, but code would be open source.

3. Licensed access to a Databricks/Collab-esque style development environment. Jupyter is great, but once they establish a big enough community and enough killer features, they could adopt paying users.

4. ML Ops infrastructure as a service for enterprise

5. Consulting
Is there any reason it took so long for Microsoft to include print to PDF in Windows other than bad management?
Hmm, looks interesting. However, I think I'd like to keep these tools separate, as long as they can stay compatible.
It's funny to me that one of the original descriptions of waterfall is actually something we might consider agile: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~csci201/lectures/Lecture11/royce1970...

It augments the naive waterfall with continual testing and customer feedback among other things that might surprise you.
There are a ton of "programming-adjacent" jobs where having some programming knowledge is very useful if only to communicate effectively with engineers. Those jobs are often quite well paid as well compared to similar jobs at non-tech companies.

ie. if you want to get a well paying job doing what you love, then learning to program might be an important part of that even if programming is not what you love.
You're getting flagged because it's hard to tell if you're a troll or just, ehm.... what's the hacker news euphemism for stupid? A startup dev with no equity?
The original implementation of Wordle was heavily optimized for reducing hosting costs and didn't have "allow changing the word list on the fly" as a requirement. As a result, the word list is cached on the client side.
Forget the "tech industry". Even if they're just "browsing the web" and using "apps", they are constantly being shunted & nudged around by code that someone else wrote. A little proficiency in being able to tweak and control that environment they are immersed in will go a long way towards enhancing their human agency.

As computers+algorithms become increasingly ubiquitous and powerful, being able to understand and use them effectively is as important as reading and writing -- not understand this is equivalent to being illiterate in an information society. Modern society/civilization considers literacy & numeracy so damn important that it is (at least nominally) willing to sit all its youth in an educational environment for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 10+ years in the hope that enough of the three Rs (Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic) rub off on them. IMHO, computing is right up there in importance -- only we as a society might take decades to come to terms with that and learn how to equip people well.
Seems like no one got my intent, so that makes it my fault. :)
Huggingface + WandB are some of my favorite tools doing ML.
With no way to edit my comment to include the corrections below, I'll just state that my opinion has softened.
Ad-free youtube doesn't get rid of "paid content" in videos. "paid content" is just ads. So if you pay for youtube premium you get rid of some ads, not all the ads.
It was a story that happened in San Francisco, I don't know what else to tell you. You can't decouple homelessness from the reasons why you might need to help someone in an emergency in that city.

Draw what lessons you will, or tell me that I'm making it up wholesale if you seriously think it's implausible if you feel the need. All I can say is that it happened and stood out as particularly strange to me. I didn't take cell phone video to prove it six years later to a stranger on the internet, I just wanted to know who to contact for help in an unfamiliar neighborhood and city.

What I took from the situation was that if you're going to seriously practice compassion in meditation it needs to also be coupled with action or else you end up getting disconnected and numb to the world around you. I don't blame anyone for their responses, and definitely don't judge them as bad people or anything. We're all human and the best of us are open-minded enough to our failings to improve.

I'm saying that if you're going to practice "feeling compassion" you should also practice acting on it. Otherwise when you need to act you will freeze. Acting on compassion is a reflex, a habit, a muscle that needs development as much as the ability to accept that you aren't perfect.
Wow, this looks great! I'll have to give this a try later tonight.
I think a remote office is one where folks are remote. An asynchronous work place is one where work is done (IMO) efficiently. They aren’t the same - you can do asynchronous work in offices, some of the most effective global companies did this for decades already and when they went remote it was a smooth transition because, yes, remote works best when done asynchronously. But so does in office work.
Exactly what is the OP asking for? No meetings at all? 100% email driven async comms?
macOS has so many essential utilities and tools I can not live without. System wide dictionary and looking up a translation is something I use every single day. Screenshot and screen recording is utility I use every week.
I built my first site in ~1997, and my primary email address is still webmaster@. Nevertheless, I do feel that these early-Internet nostalgia posts mostly forget how crappy many webpages were back in the day. Blinking text, marquees, animated gifs, frames, inline fonts, ActiveX, "Best viewed in Internet Explorer 3", popup windows, tables for layout, terrible search, etc. Today's sites are often bloated, but those of the past had their own issues.

For me personally, the appeal of the web back then was not that it was good, rather it was new.
That e-mail fad will never take off.
DBA skills as such are definitely needed -- more than ever.

But the job title as such is dead as a doornail -- along with "systems administrator", "webmaster", etc. You need to call yourself a "data engineer", "data warehouse architecht" or something similar.

It's silly, yes. But this is a silly industry.
A big part of sales is getting people to even know your product exists. How are people on HN reaching out to customers? Advertisements don't quite work for tech geeks and people that would use SaaS (Adblock, general detest against ads, etc). I am curious what are good marketing strategies that reach potential customers in ways that they are not annoyed by it, but the opposite - they are thankful for discovering your product or service?

Vision's rectangle detection or document scanner has worked well for us but in comparison to what Google's MLKit OCR offers it pales in comparison. MLKit OCR also does language detection + more languages out of the box.

EasyOCR is definitely interesting and something that's worked well for us at a prototyping level.

You don't need to use UWP/WPF/whatever it's called these days to get the application into the MS Store. Good ol' Win32 programs can be packaged and distributed through there as well.

Microsoft wants you to use their new APIs but they realised they couldn't force developers to do that. With their efforts for a mobile phone operating system dead in the water they've been more accepting of normal applications for a while now.
Okay, so what's the alternative? I read most of this article and scanned the rest, but could not find any proposal.

Should we just stop developing software? Should we go back to Waterfall?

I know every person reading this could write a dozen pages full of suggestions for how to run a software team, but I really wish the author herself had spent some time suggesting what software engineers should be doing instead of "agile", because that, to me, would be infinitely more interesting.
If it makes you feel better: the colors in that image are oversaturated.
I buy all my used computers, phones, books, hard-to-find Lego from there for the past 10+ years. Only had a problem once, but was resolved quickly. I only buy from reputable sellers.
I mostly just asked my now-six-year-old math questions at dinner, while driving around, and at other convenient times for me. Give them a treat of some kind when they get a few right. She's now in first grade and she can do multiplication, division, fractions, squares/square roots, and so on.

The treats mean that she will sometimes come up and say "Can I do math questions?" (because she wants to watch TV or get some other treat). I'll give her a series of random questions, and if she gets them right, she gets to watch TV.

On the science side of things, there are lots of fun project kits you can get. I found that they are a lot of work, but also worthwhile. I should probably do more of them.

You should also look into snap circuits electronics kids. The kids go absolutely nuts for those.

P.S. once they have the fundamentals, age-appropriate comic books are insanely good for teaching reading.
ha, I thought this was going to be about C++ MVC frameworks.
This is the opposite of true. Not even factoring in the cost of labor and everything else related to having a kitchen.

None of these seem to support wildcard aliases, in fact they all use limited aliases to augment their revenue stream, which is a shame.

I was taught cursive because it was a form of literacy literally never used it outside of school.

I have been coding since I was 6 and the only useful thing I have done with it was my job that I like and pays well, I also wrote a script that organised my mp3s very handy.

Mp3s don't exist and I could have probably found an app for it anyway, if I wasn't naturally motivated to liking computers and code I wouldn't like my job and would have found little other use for code.

Learning to code is a huge time and energy commitment that worked out great for me personally but if I didn't like code I would hate all this and find it completely useless. Joining a sports team or an after school group would have given me other skills like interpersonal skills that are important because it allows us to communicate and get others to do things on our behalf.

If a child doesn't like the path we took they wont find the success or joy we found in it, don't force them down that path.

Not in the EU. I pay for a lot of nonrecurring things via money transfer and I need a TAN for every online transaction. Before mobile apps they would occasionally mail me a list of like 50 of them [1] but that's not a thing anymore. Every online credit card transaction has to be confirmed in the banking app as well.

I don't know the facts, but I do know a few WSJ reporters and read their paper every day.

Unlike most of what passes as "journalism" these days, these people actually do still practice journalism. So if monster trains are derailing, or even causing major delays, they will be on it. And people in Congress all read the WSJ.
every time i open a document with preview, it insists on opening all the documents i had open before. i must be doing something wrong, and find a different workflow, maybe instead of closing the app, i need to manually close each document that i don't need anymore.

i guess it's not an issue if you use preview often and keep it running all the time, but i rarely need it since most of what i do is either terminal or browser based or uses a dedicated application.

but when i open a document i expect that document to be opened, and nothing else.

this would work a lot better if preview would put all documents in tabs so that only the document i asked for is visible while the rest are hidden in the other tabs.
I’ve worked in mostly remote companies with heavy use of emails and chat on and off for many years, and this has never been a concern for me. I can’t even remember thinking about it once. It seems quite petty.

Frankly the much bigger problem is global time zones and limited overlap restricting the time available for synchronous discussions.

I'm going to take point hits, but what about the opposite: why to AVOID it. For one, it's a dead-end job. On average you'll need to move into management or quasi-management to survive in IT. Even if you find a way to keep up with ever-changing programming fads, your fingers may likely give out. It may pay relatively well out of college, but your salary will mostly plateau. As leaked IBM emails show, IT hates old people. I'm just the jaded messenger.
Setting up a server is so unbelievably simple that anyone capable of writing software shouldn't blink at the task. The fact that there's a lot of blinking strikes me as profoundly funny.
