Yes, we actually did research and spent a significant amount of GPU time. Thanks to my luck of stumbling into the right people at the right time, I could afford cloud-scale training because OVH granted me very generous rebates...

The main innovation is that we prevent loss mis-allocation during training of the acoustic AI model by pre-weighting things with the loss of the language model. Or in short:

We don't train what you don't need to hear

Painting with a pretty broad brush there. Rhetoric and reality frequently don't match. The strongest Trump-supporting conservative in my family happens to be one of the few of us who owns an EV, as well. Money talks.

Can perhaps anyone on HN assist? It's urgent.
Lots of countries have states, provinces, departments, and the like each with some degree of local government, but relatively few of them give them so much power at the national level as the US does in its Senate. I would have thought after the Civil War more work would have been done to get people to identify with the US more than with their particular state. If that was done, it doesn't matter how big or small your state is -- the important thing is your vote is the same as everybody else's in the nation.
Ask HN: 24/7 audio recording on my person?
Is there a way to have the audio about my person constantly recorded and then backed up to my computer?
I've looked through loads of voice memo apps but haven't found anything that would be controllable with regards to automatic backup to my own computer rather than a paid for cloud?
Obviously the storage requirements of so much audio will overwhelm my phone pretty quickly and I don't want to have to constantly be moving the recordings across to the computer.
Anyone know of a way to do this?
Grow wheat in fields close to town. Use smaller trucks (than gigantic semis) for transportation.

This ain't rocket science.
For Rails specifically, I can't say enough good things about AppSignal. Being Rails specific gives it really great performance analytics right out of the box (it hooks into Rails standard instrumentation), and it handles error reporting for you as a bonus.
If they actually cared they would make that statement in bold at the time they ask for your phone number and email address.
Nothing you said contradicted my point. Apple forces SMS which nerfs videos, they choose that on purpose to inconvenience Android users. Android to Android works perfectly because they aren't using SMS, they are using RCS.
Because it's not nuanced. It serves as a foil. Both-sides-ing is not discourse. It's a rhetorical trick to muddy the waters.

Imagine a bit harder. It doesn't take much to be empathetic.
There's also the issue that some galaxies don't violate our pre-dark-matter models as much or do so in a different way. With dark matter that's easily explained as an abnormal dark matter halo (eg maybe displaced due to an ongoing interaction with another galaxy or absent for an unknown reason). When abnormalities like that are considered, dark matter becomes the elegant solution while theories that tweak gravity start to seem somewhat ad hoc.
This is what I struggle with as well. We have the coding capabilities measured by fingers that can type quality code, but we don't have the time nor the nerves to fail our way to solutions that work.
It boils down to the same issue. Whether you store data or not, your brain is a bottle eck. And managing notes would require the same skill as curating your efforts.
Oh no, the user has to press a button. Let's completely destroy privacy and complicate EVERYTHING just to save them that one click. Worth it.
Its so expensive that Comcast only made a profit of 42 Billion in 2021, while providing a lower quality of service than what a small ISP in Michigan can give you for a one time 2M in government grants.
It's actually not entirely that. Google appears to have some kind of unpublished "quality score" that is applied to emails received in a Gmail account, and it uses this score to determine if the message will appear on the inbox tab or in the promotions tab (or worse, the spam box).

One big part of raising this mysterious and possibly just a myth "quality score" is to increase your emails open rates and especially your click-to-open rate. Basically, the more people you get to open your email and then to click through to your website, the better that Google will think your emails are performing and the more likely they are to appear in the inbox in the future.

Plus, clicking through an email provides tracking information not only to Google, but also to the site you clicked through to, which helps them with their marketing campaigns or whatever else they are doing with their tracking info.

There is an entire pseudo-science that email marketing people use in attempts to increase deliverability and "inboxing" in Gmail and a lot of it just comes down to "get more people to click through to your website", and it does appear to help, at least anecdotally.
Why do they have to fit into one chamber? And, IMO, fruitful debate has not been a feature of Congress during my lifetime.

Logistically, each party would choose its leadership, and the House as a whole would choose a Speaker. They would handle the nuts and bolts of when and what legislation would come up for a vote.

It would be interesting to have a lot more granularity in representation -- you'd certainly have reps from the Greens and the Libertarians, along with any number of other parties that were suddenly viable.
Everyone I've run into here(Colorado) with more than ~2 years of climbing experience uses the EDK for tying two ropes together for rappelling. Maybe it doesn't come up in conversation as commonly since we typically use single ropes(as opposed to half ropes that you see a lot in the UK).
How easy this value can be verified? In other words, do we have all inputs public and the algorithm (with all its "hedonistic adjustments") is fully accessible? Can we track changes in the algorithm?

Even with the effect of high base, I am getting increasingly suspicious of official numbers (same with the unemployment statistics). Energy costs have skyrocketed and they get into almost everything an economy produces. I guess, we could get a bit clearer picture after the incoming midterms.
Competition leads to excellence and results, while monopolization leads to stagnation.
Axum isn't returning anything, IntoResponse outputs to HTTP. The error type in a handler is Infallible.
Well look at that. Google gave you fiber without even giving you fiber.
> I dont think I was being dismissive of anyone

I think doubting someone is Autistic based on virtually no information would be considered pretty dismissive
If utilities are underground, it can be pretty expensive to install anything. I have an estimate for municipal fiber that's about that much to get fiber a mile or two down the street overhead, and then about that much to go down my driveway underground 400 feet.

It's hard to justify when the local phone company is probably going to roll out fiber in the next few years without a direct charge, at least for the portion on the street. Of course, that'll probably be PPPoE, maybe asymetrical, likely limited to 1G, etc. Comcast won't even quote me to come down my driveway, even though they serve my neighbor across the street from the pole at the corner of my driveway.
This is a good write-up. Note that anyone pondering using indoor hydroponics to grow appreciable quantities of food should think on this first:

> "It’s been less practical to grow bulk vegetables, such as spinach. Brazilian spinach has been fairly successful in terms of growth, but it takes about a month for a cutting to grow to maturity, and we need about four plants to make a salad, so we’d need several racks of bins to make a dent in our vegetable consumption. Also, in general our herbs have had less pests than leafy green vegetables."

Growing food is a pretty complicated, and often underappreciated, skill. Humans learned to control fire and make tools well before, i.e. many thousands of years before, the first farmer-based civilizations began to appear.

Producing an appreciable amount of food indoors in a cold climate in the winter months might require several thousand watts of lighting, a fairly large space, signicant amounts of nutrients, and decent control of airflow, temperature and humidity. Constant daily work and inspection is required to avoid insect infestations and mold outbreaks (cleaning is critical). Many flowering and fruiting cycles in plants are highly light-period-sensitive so that has to be carefully managed as well. Expect to put in hours of labor every day, without fail.

As a result, most simple indoor hydroponics setups are geared towards things like lettuce which just produce leaves. If you can manage to get good yields of things like tomatoes, chilis, strawberries then it's quite the accomplishment. Some people even manage potatoes and carrots, which seems to be the trickiest of all (root development being the issue).

Outdoor hydroponics is a lot easier with full sunlight, and while many people will say 'just use soil' in many areas good soil is hard to come by. Indeed, some people say the most valuable and arcane farming skill is the generation of high-quality soil (which requires the composting arts, plus knowledge of mineral substrates).
From the article: he had $2.6MM in help from the "American Rescue Plan's Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds".

He's being paid by the government to bring Internet access to homes in the state that aren't currently wired for it.
I think the last two generations have gone through stressful times and developed "learned helplessness". I know I did at some point speaking as a millennial.

While millennials are old enough now to appreciate compounding wealth, gen Z still has a few more years until that happens on average. Most people start actively investing in their 30s.

Instead of helplessness, there is the idea of "learned hopefulness" to take a more proactive approach to one's future, even in the bleakest of times.

A good way to visualize that is by looking at the S&P 500 all-time graph and getting into the habit of regularly investing a modest amount as you skill up and expand your earning potential with age.
I can appreciate your dilemma, but I think the submission would have been better served if the title emphasizes the real win, which is improved accuracy over some alternatives (like you mention elsewhere in the comment thread), rather than lines of code (because that invites scrutiny on the wrong, non-salient dimension).
This youtube video is an excellent shootout of wet dry vac price/performance.

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSN7PXwn1yU

Summary: SHOP VACS TESTED: Ridgid, Craftsman, Shop Vac, Bauer, DeWalt, Hart, and Stanley tested for horsepower, air speed, suction and noise level. Testing also included speed of vacuuming 5 gallons of water and 50 pounds of sand. Total water holding capacity also measured for each brand. Finally, each brand participated in a "grudge" match when the suction hoses were joined together.
I see you've read Zero to One. :)

Indeterminate pessimism also means they aren't taking economic risks, whereas many Gen-Z are becoming content creators or starting businesses with their savings, so it could be more determinate optimism. Possibly naive, but time will tell.
I'm not following, what is Rust doing exactly? Coupling schema / layout with lifetime management? If that's what you mean I would like to disagree about the "great results" because of a gut feeling, and possibly the disagreement could in theory be justified with build times, or viewpoints on maintainability or whatever. But unfortunately I have no basis for doing so. I don't understand Rust well. And have very little experience, expect failing at compiling some projects and their 500 dependencies a couple times...
My experience is that prices went 100% - 150% up. Things I care about went double, no amount of statistics engineering can change this fact.

Fuel prices along, while it came down a little, they are still way high.

> Most businesses, consumers, and developers universally continue to ignore the primary reason that iMessage is a closed platform, rather than an app on every platform as iTunes is: Apple is using device serial numbers for anti-spam.

That statement is false. Primary reason is, that Apple wanted to lock customers in their ecosystem. You can read about it here: https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/27/22406303/imessage-android...

Also attestation doesn't stop spam (see other responses in this thread) and is harmful mechanism that will lead to more walled gardens.
When I read the title my first thought was "because of the hedonic treadmill".

Ctrl-F, appears about 2/3rds down the article. Could have come around a bit quicker :-)
Ditto. My view of this disparity in outlooks now is that the important thing is to be honest with yourself about your nature, i.e. figure out if you're a slacker or a go-getter. Some people take comfort in coasting and consuming, they likely never needed a buddhist parable to figure that out. I could attempt to give myself "permission" to do nothing using an -ism but I can't believe it, and I don't find it satisfying. Striving affords a higher-order level of living. I certainly had to "try" to resolve issues like insomnia, and had to "try" to create new habits, "try" to reach a state of flow at work, "try" to strive towards mastery in an art.

I'm actually more perplexed by creatives who would suggest they don't actually try, but I imagine this is only because they've created habits long ago, sparked by a mere interest, to the extent that biasing towards action (pursuing those habits) requires no effort. I found myself having to create new habits because I was in a state of complete disarray, purely trying to avoid pain.

As for Bukowski, he was an alcoholic and seemingly a miserable misanthrope. Seems like "don't try" was of little comfort.

> This is what happens when your work is your identity

Sorry, is that just your commentary, or is there something in that article linking work as identity to loneliness?

I agree that using work, or any other one thing as your sole source of identity isn’t healthy. I don’t see how that’s incompatible with finding meaning and belonging from work, any more than it’d be incompatible with finding meaning and belonging in anything else.

> Get some hobbies, maybe a pet?

I have a pet. I have some hobbies, though generally I find that I and others doing the hobby don’t have enough time to devote to it to really develop deep connection from it. Part of its also maybe just the things I’m interested (or not interested) in. I’d like to have more hobbies though, and generally more extra-work life activities. But that doesn’t replace my desire for work to also be meaningful.
We tested it on CommonVoice German, which is what Mozilla used for DeepSpeech German, too. The idea behind that dataset is that arbitrary people on the internet submit their recordings (hence the "common" in the name) and then if enough other people upvote it as "understandable", it gets included in the dataset.

As such, the AI works well with a variety of accents.
What makes you think autistic people are more inclined to have the first view, and the neurotypical people the latter?
Author here, thanks for reading. I was a bit torn about the “allistic” word, and decided to include it because it does encode what I was talking about in a very technical manner. In fact, if I regret one thing, it is to edit this blog post to shreds. It used to be much more conversational at around 2000 words, and probably conveyed more nuance.

I like the form it currently has too, but it requires taking every word at face value, and not assuming any subtext. For example, I don’t blame anybody, thus I really mean I am not blaming anybody. This is an examination of how things have played out and why they might have played out the way they did. Nothing more.
Amazon's order confirmations were the one I was thinking of. Got damn they're useless these days.

Also remember when you could respond to social network messages via email? It was so useful! You don't even see the content anymore haha (that one's almost definitely to draw you back to the site tho)
Allistic communication patterns aren't homogenous. And I think the phrasing is very clinical. It is effective but the tone is not very welcoming. I think it's a fair critique of the writing.

I would have written something like, "Allistic people communicate in a way that causes friction in understanding by autistic people, and vice versa, and this leads to a slowdown in the workplace for everyone."
Be careful using the YoY number, you need to factor in the base effect. (i.e. the change in YoY number each month factors in the new month of data but also the month 13 months ago that is no longer included)

MoM is a cleaner way to look at things in volatile times like these.

I've used Lombok, and I wouldn't describe it as "generating boilerplate," and yes, I see that GP used those words first.

Instead, Lombok allows me to mark fields with an annotation and then use getters and setters that never actually exist in my code. In practice, it's just adding an annotation in places to control functionality, which is not what I usually think of when I read "generate boilerplate."
Show HN: Hackertosh.css – Make Hacker News look like macOS 8
Hello HN,

For fans of a more retro MacOS aesthetic, this is a custom style sheet I put together that restyles HN to look like the MacOS 8 desktop. Available in both user style sheet and browser extension formats.
Yeah, it's messy. From the applicant side I prefer the title software engineer over data engineer. A more general title is better for career flexibility, and for some reason I've run into quite a few teams where the DEs have lower perceived status (perceived to not be able to code compared to software engineers, perceived to not be that smart/educated compared to a data science team etc).
3 euros seems low, or maybe the road use tax here is just too high.

One EV road use tax in Australia (Victoria) is 2.5c per km, I'll assume that's fair for now (I doubt it is, but anyway). A prior post said a truck does 5,000 times more damage than a car, which means the truck should pay $125 per km if it's fair. So a 30 mile trip would be roughly $6000. About 2.5c per yoghurt.

Not a lot. But it's on each item and will add up. Not sure how often trucks run empty to and fro either, someone has to pay for that. Petrol excise here was halved to 22c/L and my car uses about 8L/100km so that 2.5c does not seem too unreasonable.
any insurance company with life insurance arm will need to increase to compensate
The vehicle we bought cost over 10% what the same vehicle would have cost last year.

Groceries are 40% more than they were.

Utility bill is up nearly 50%.

Clothes and shoes don't seem to be more expensive, they just don't seem to go on sale anymore.

Our neighbors had a new roof installed and spend almost double what we did 3 years ago, we have nearly the same house and the same contractor did it.

Fast food has gone way up, sit-down restaurants don't seem to have changed much.

Homes in the area have went up 100% in the last two years.

We won't even talk about gas.
True when you focus solely on consuming.

Turn to creating (art, science, a better mousetrap), and there’s no end in sight.
It was the @Query annotation which finally killed Spring for me. So I have to stuff all my SQL into an annotation now if I want raw JDBC? Madness. **ck that.

As full computers on wheels, probably they are going to be full of spyware, Internet facing vulnerabilities etc too.
Yes. As for some other mobile OSs I'm not required to comply with whatever is on their official store, and can just install an app from a different source.
You’re paying for resource isolation. You can put many things on 1 server and it will be cheaper. We have done that for decades.
1) Greed isn't a variable here - McDonalds today can't be more greedy than McDonalds in 2020. McDonalds in 2020 was already capped out as far as greed goes. They have been the poster child for corporate greed for decades. If greed could make prices go up they'd have been selling $3 burgers back in 1950.

2) If prices go up by 50% without an increase in costs, profit should go up by much more than 50% and share prices should be doubling, tripling, etc. If their stock is up a lesser percent than the price of their goods, that suggests they are being squeezed. The share price going up is effectively just another effect of inflation.
I would recommend (not necessarily for your categories) https://www.rtings.com/ I use it mostly for monitors, mouse, keyboards, TVs. It does have amazon affiliate links but the test are pretty good (and standardized to allow comparisons) as far as I am concerned.
EVs are ~1% of cars and ~5% of new car sales. It seems like we have another 5 years until those scale effects start to really kick in.
So supposedly such a center pivot is then 1/4 mile long. Wouldn't that then be a center pivot that's 1320' long? I think they're using a smaller setup here, but they're not exactly clear about that.

Edit: searching around, that sounds like a 10 tower. The article said they've got a 7. So I think they've got a lot more than I initially guessed and slightly less than your post guessed.
"Happy" and "intelligent" are just different axes.

Being intelligent[0], I can see more solutions to my problems than most, but I can also see more problems that need solving. And I choose to work on the hardest problems I can manage.

Dogs are not known for their intellect, and can be made incredibly happy just by the appearance of their favourite person (who may be a human or another dog). Anyone who expects dogs to be anxious about global warming, AI alignment, or the thermodynamic heat death of the universe, has probably overestimated them.

Fast internet is a complement to Google's services. It's in Google's interest to commoditize fast internet. They're not interested in offering Fiber, they're interested in making the internet faster and cheaper, since that helps there core business. So their Fiber investment was the lowest they could get away with to still make other players believe that they just might be serious about it in 2015.
When ppl talk about EVs overtaking petrol all I can do is shake head.

Infrastructure is not there and is not going to be there for EVs for a long time.

Its not only gas stations but also power plants, transit cables, personel, supply chains, technology, laws and other.

If we make good investments it will take around 50 years in some developed EU countries to reach appropriate infrastructure levels. In less developed countries probably 100+years.
