Mandate a reasonable support delay, beyond the 5-to-7-years that seems to be the gold standard today. A computer from 10 years ago can still do a lot of things.
"As an investor, I expect Snowflake to show amazing profitability and record-breaking revenue numbers. As an Engineer, if Snowflake continues on the current path of ignoring performance, I expect them to lose share to the open-source community or some other competitor, eventually walking down the path of Oracle and Teradata. Here are a few things I think they can do to stay relevant in five years."
Endpoint protection is theoretically useful.

In practice, most implementations cause more harm than good. Some of them even add vulnerabilities themselves.
Spend a month in Alaska in August. That should recalibrate your perception of magic hour sufficiently to allow you to enjoy modern movies.
So, what is Snowflake? (I assume it's snowflake.com) From Googling it looks like Google's BigQuery. So it's a DB?
“CAPEX budget always increases, OPEX budget always decreases.” is a great synopsis of how capitalism works.
> For me the biggest issue in modern movies and tv isn’t the “Netflix aesthetic”

For me the biggest issue is not the contents but the Netflix player behavior. You press a Stop button to take a better look at some nice girl’s uhm… face and the frame is covered up for some seconds with “Netflix” and movie title. It can be ok if you pressed Stop to brew some more tea - but when you hit Play the same titles block not just a still frame, but some seconds of a movie! It’s so annoying it’s bordering on deliberate cruelty.

Free to use, but have they made them available for you to charge for?? Given that you're college students, I'd imagine they allow you to use under the "education and non-commercial" use.

I am Not A Lawyer...but y'all need a lawyer asap.
This is great. I just wonder whether it could be a superset of Markdown.
So what is an appropriate point in time to release information about an issue the vendor claims doesn't exist?
I reject the premise that all Netflix shows have the same look. Just a theory, but it's possible the author is viewing HDR shows on a non-HDR TV/display, leading to a similar look as the HDR is tone mapped to SDR. Consistent tonemapping could also explain why they feel the content is dark or over-saturated.

But honestly, the other reality is that cinematography is an art, and there are trends in art. Right now, cinematographers are embracing the shadows—maybe because they're finally able to. For most of film history, cinematographers had to avoid deep shadows due to technical limitations (including film latitude, VHS, DVD and lack of color consistency on TVs).

I was told at Apple Service that replacing the battery in M1+ generation laptops no longer requires replacing the whole case. Specifically I also have M1 Air and was told that battery is easily replaceable. Waiting for that one myself, too.
You literally have full control over what happens on an Android device most the time and Apple devices are always in a locked down walled garden where you have absolutely no idea what is going on with your data.

I think YouTube has a big public playlist of all your liked videos. Feed it into yt-dlp and choose a good format (eg. yt-dlp -f "22" "youtube.com/your/playlist/here"), and it will spit out all the videos in the playlist to whatever directory you're in.
We're still figuring that out. It's a really fascinating piece of tech, and has all kinds of non-obvious applications.

I wrote about using it to explain code (and mathematical formulas and suchlike) a few weeks ago: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Jul/9/gpt-3-explain-code/

I've been experimenting with using it to build a human-language-to-SQL tool, so that people can ask questions of their data "what country had the highest GDP in 2019" and it will turn them into the correct SQL query, given a table schema. I'm still iterating on this but it's shown some very promising initial results.

I use it a lot when I need to get something small working in a language that I don't have day-to-day familiarity with. "Write a bash script that loops through every MOV file in this folder and extracts the audio as MP3" is a good example of that kind of prompt.

Riley Goodside on Twitter posts weird and interesting new things you can do with GPT-3 on a daily basis: https://twitter.com/goodside/ - his instructional template trick was on HN the other day, it's really clever: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32532875

Is this because GPT-4 is about to be released and they want to charge full price for that?
other option is to clone the repo but pipe the output to the terminal bell instead - probably not as good as the OPs solution but has a similar effect :)

sudo tcpdump -n -l dst net 192.0.2.1/32 $(for a in $(cat goog-prefixes.txt); do echo or dst net $a; done) | xargs -I {} bash -c "tput bel"

EDIT: it's definitely not as good as the OPs solution as the bells sometimes get skipped when there are lots of packets.
The thing is, "releasing our findings to the public" puts the vendor's customers at risk, it's not just some imagined Just Punishment For The Guilty, innocents get hurt.

Imagine if you took a new job and they had a bunch of hardware sitting around from such a vendor. Would you be OK if someone published an exploit for your systems?

(In this case, the vulnerability seems minor, so it's sort of academic. But I'm not understanding the mindset of the people here who want to see this as a two party adversarial kind of relationship between Modzero and CrowdStrike. It's not!)
Hi Freakynit,

Thanks a lot for pointing this out, we are on it and we will fix this very soon. In the meantime, we would really appreciate it, if you can remove this comment and commands, as we accumulated these resources with a lot of efforts, and we are trying to charge little fee for the efforts and features to search, filter and sort resources on the platform.

So if you can please consider this request of ours, it would mean a lot to us.

Thanks
Yeah, you absolutely can - speaking from experience.

My guess is lower pricing makes the product more accessible to more people (and business models).
The rise in population in developing nations is slowing, and at a much faster rate than in developed nations.

Most projections have global population plateauing in the 2090-2100 timeframe although the recent record fertility decreases in Asia and Africa may pull that forward a couple of years or decades.
I lack imagination. What is GPT-3 (and generative text models in general) useful for, other than toys? It can write essays, can we expect it to replace writers for newspapers and magazines? Can it write coherent technical documentation? Replace speechwriters?

Surprisingly, Linkedin.

While around 95% of stuff in my inbox is rubbish and generic postings, there are those 5% worth my time. Interesting companies, challenging and relevant problems.

But admittedly, having only 5% non rubbish already requires you to have a proper profile, with nice information about previous work and experience.

I do make it a habit of responding politely and negatively to most, with a quick one liner, but talking to a few even if I am happy with my job, just to find out what else is there and what is happening around me.

That is how my current employer, Tulip Interfaces has found me, and I have never before worked on more relevant and challenging topics.

That's not entirely related to Netflix, but there is an analogy with when video and filmakers started using photographic prime lens for their videos some fifteen years ago (or so), there was this constant and fast pull focus in every scene that almost made you sick with nausea...
And Google Photos, which initially included unlimited compressed photo storage, killed off competitors and then changed it to 15 GB.
He mentions cloning sensor ids, and indeed some sensors can be programmed to match an existing sensor. This comes in very handy if you have a set of winter tires. You can have multiple sets of tires that have a common set of sensor ids allowing you to swap sets in and out without having to reprogram the tpms.
even worse is how they assume everybody watches on a great HDR display in a dark room and make scenes really dark accordingly, so I can't see a damn thing.
I'm sure those are factors, but it's mainly (1) GPU prices have dropped significantly, and (2) a lot of progress is happening in optimizing large language models to be more efficient while maintaining performance.

The other possibility is that there will be more coal (Germany, Poland, Czech Republic are already heavy producers). Norway may cut EU and UK from their electricity production (it seems to be #1 topic there and there were already articles comparing current network with NAZI-era plans on NRK).

Jailbreaking isn’t even possible anymore on the newer phones. The latest iOS bricks your device if it detects any changes to the filesystem.
Yeah but look at how large the market is, and how much it has grown since then. I'd imagine it's at least 10x the size and it costs virtually nothing to sell to all those additional customers. That's the real reason video game prices haven't kept pace with inflation.

Valve has proven with lots of data that holding deep discount sales actually greatly increases revenue. It took a long time for the industry to fully realize this.

They are not simply trying to cover costs. It's indeed charging what the market will bear. Which I have nothing against, I'm more upset that gamers fork over cash for all these micro-transactions. But that is another topic.

Sadly, I agree. I am all but given up on #3 and basically resort to first 2 options for my own use. Most of my social circle equipped their houses with listening devices at every turn so my describing issues related to smart tv sound to them.. not even sure what. I am not even sure it registers as a valid complaint.

At least with my objection to shoving ice cream cake into my 1 year old they listen. With electronics I might as well speak Swahili.
The term "USD falls and oil price rises" go together to say that USD falls against oil price. The term "USD falls" alone or "Oil price rises" alone would require a backdrop of measuring against something.

I tried replacing a broken speaker on my old Macbook Pro. I followed a very detailed guide from ifixit and it involved removing the motherboard, disconnecting 7 different ribbon cables, and keeping track of the exact location of 30 different screws of various sizes.

I've done a fair share of self-repair on various laptops and smartphones I owned and this was by far the scariest one. It didn't seem like something an average person can pull off easily.
I wrote a few notes in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32554955

Here's one that I find personally really interesting:

Imagine you have a disability, and the government agencies responsible for helping you have denied your claim. You need to write them a letter. You don't have much (if any) experience writing letters to government agencies, so you're finding that task challenging.

GPT-3 can write that letter for you, and it will de a really good job of it.

Of course, you need access to GPT-3 and you need to learn how to drive it with prompts, so this isn't necessarily an easy thing. But I think it helps lean in the direction of the kind of benefits people can get from this class of technology outside of just playing with the AI.
The downside of that control though is an application that's arguably a little too specifically targeted — it's understandable wanting to target the same engine but if your app breaks with different but reasonably recent versions of chromium I would say it's too brittle.

It also widens attack vectors considerably when your entire userbase is all on the same probably-outdated build of electron-bundled chromium.
> Why would Latinos, Asians, Blacks, and Whites all require a radically different education?

We can't completely discuss the reasons for different educational outcomes between population groups in America in a civilized forum such as HN, so let's only mention that different educational outcomes between groups exist.

Since different population groups have different educational outcomes in a multicultural society, the groups that are left behind will always feel slighted and resentful and the educational system would have to be continuously redesigned to accommodate the least common denominator, IMO in a fashion resembling the famous Harrison Bergeron short story.

In basically every city with a substantial multicultural society in America in recent years, you can find articles similar to this.

Europe doesn't have to account for this kind of thing anywhere near the level that America does. Their educational systems can largely focus on what's best for education.
You're focusing too much on the specifics of the hypothetical rather than the point of the hypothetical. If you can't get out to the abstraction, then in universe X, programmer B-Z all spend 3 weeks on a feature, and in universe Y, programmer B-Z all spend 1 week on a feature. So we've got an extra man year being burned, all to save a man week upfront. Extend to whatever point short of breaking the analogy you care to.

Regarding point #4, I think the clear winner is Tauri. I'll clarify --

While writing in Node is great if you don't know Rust, your users are being shipped an entire Node runtime, which has size, memory, and security issues. So in this case Electron has a "better" DX completely at the cost of the user.

Tauri has JS/TS APIs, but if you need to do extensive backend work then it requires some learning at the benefit of your users. After learning Rust myself, I'd say it's the benefit of the developers too, but that's just my opinion. :)
> On a private road (my example) at low speeds <15mph, it seems acceptable to me, especially with older kids (not talking about <7 or so). This is quite common in some areas and really shouldn't be a safety issue.

OK, so that's an anecdote entirely unrelated to the question at hand regarding child seats.

> With fewer laws, those determinations are left up to the individual. With more laws, society is making that determination and imposing it via force (criminal laws), removing the person's discretion. I think this ignores edge cases, and leads to more people feeling ostracized, powerless over their own life, and oppressed by the masses.

Well unfortunately for them they are responsible for another human being. It's not just their own self interest in question, and when the other party can't effectively advocate for itself it only makes sense to create minimum standards of care.
To me it is simple - when I see a touchscreen dashboard, I assume (/know) that the vendor was cutting costs at the expense of driving ergonomics. Cheap car, I can live with it. Expensive? No way.

> Why should they get flak for having internal APIs? The fact that the internal API is a superset of the external API is smart engineering.

It's not about having good segmentation of user-facing and kernel-side libraries, no one faults them for that.

It's about Apple building user-facing apps that use the whole API, and then demanding that other developers not use the features required to implement those apps because we're not trusted to maintain the look-and-feel, responsiveness, or battery life expectations of apps on the platform.

The show under discussion here (Sandman) is a Warner production.
Even with that advantage, I think trains will have to work to maintain the upper hand, here's some things they should be looking into:

I was responding to your mention of Chromebooks and how expensive you thought they would be to fix. And also because I thought it was interesting that these two very cheap gadgets were easily fixable. I guess since the main customers for these cheap laptops are schools, they'd have to be repairable. School budgets would almost mandate their hardware acquisitions be cheaply repairable instead of having to replace the entire unit. Especially when they hand these things out to accident prone kids.

But we don't have right to repair across the board. Would be nice if manufacturers took this into account.
These are a bit too advanced examples. Think of simple descriptive statistics which is still so important yet not sexy as ML/DL/AI. ML is great, but the main usage behind these data technologies is still simple business intelligence.

Every business in every market need to understand what is going on with their processes. How many sales did I do yesterday, last week, last month, compared to last year, in which stores, what is the average basket amount, customers buy what with what, what size t-shirt do I sell the most, etc.
I'm not sure about OpenAI's internal policies, but I've worked for several SaaS companies that complied with Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to limit access to "Embargoed and Sanctioned Countries" which has meant CRIMEA - REGION OF UKRAINE, CUBA, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, and SYRIA. ITAR (defense related) and OFAC (finance related) both have further restrictions. For us, it was easier to block all of Ukraine rather than limit to access to Crimea in particular.

It's a terrible article. The author misunderstands competition and how much it drives products in this area. Snowflake is incentivized to make their product better on every dimension. If Snowflake don't improve, customers will leave in droves - like when they moved to Snowflake.

In practice, as has been pointed out in other comments, they do improve their performance (for competitive reasons) and it does cost them money when they do it.... They did it a couple qtrs ago and left $97 mill on the table.

I'm finding The Sandman enjoyable for what it is, so far (3 episodes into it).

Nothing to rave about, and it suffers from some dodgy production issues, but then again the comics (er, "graphic novels") didn't really have amazing artwork anyway! It was all about the novel (for its time) and adult story by Neil Gaiman.

I don't find Sturridge's emotionless face distracting, because the Sandman is pretty inscrutable anyway. What I do find distracting is his youth; it doesn't really convey the agelessness of the character, I would have expected either someone a bit older, or one of those real-life people you can never tell their age.
Gotchu thanks for the reply!
>Apple quite literally HUNT anyone selling those right now.

This is just objectively not true. Apple only goes after people claiming to sell OEM parts because that's a trademark issue. You can sell 3rd party parts without any issues and Apple can't do anything about it.
How is this different or more useful than providing a template with madlibs-style fill in the blanks?
It’s incredibly good at generating scholarly text. Put in a title and abstract and it will come up with a strong intro that is clear and compelling. It helps me write academic papers more clearly, as a result. Also, great for early stages of grant writing or proposals. It came up with a fantastic conference proposal for me that I spent 20 minutes editing and then just sent, unedited.

It will aid speechwriters or help more people write their own speeches, I guess.

Assuming that AI tech is a person replacement is, IMO, the wrong mental model. It helps talented people be more efficient. And will help a lot of hacks “fake it till they make it.” Power to the people, if they can handle it.
