>You're saying that omniscience is a necessary condition before Twitter can start doing good in the world, instead of bad?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying perfect knowledge and perfect filtering are necessary for Twitter to avoid being used to oppress and propagandize.

>Twitter will become an 8chan sewer if your ideology is adopted by them.

The way you're saying it assumes that this is obviously a bad thing, while in fact it's a matter of opinion. I personally think the optimal level of moderation in any discussion forum is that which only prevents disruption of the forum's functioning.
Gave it a try a few months ago and realized I can't stomach its approach of copying everything into its own folder and editing your configs over there.

I'd rather tell the tool to watch for changes in my local files. Yes, most of them are in .config, so no big change, but still...

Matter of habbit I guess.
> savings in manufacturing and operational simplicity

Solids are very dangerous and complex to handle. The end to end infrastructure cost absolutely does not make them viable.

Are you seriously suggesting something about operational simplicity when you are dealing with a material that is highly explosive and can easy kill a whole launch crew if badly handled?

In addition, solids require very expensive launch infrastructure to modify the boosters to fly specific routes. Check out the highly complex infrastrucutre the Europeans deploy in Kourou.

There is a reason, non of the new commercial companies even remotely want to touch solids, they are avoid like the plague.

The solid based Pegasus rocket is vastly more expensive then the air-launched liquid fueled Virgin Orbit rocket.

Japan with their solids never were a series competitor in the international launch market and their launch rates were always very low.

And solids are also never practically reusable as the expensive part is the whole fuel manufacture and infrastructure.

Solids are just a bad idea and make no sense when fully consider. Only nation state driven launchers would use them.
Ask HN: Any developer that has started using GPT-3 to help in their work?
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any developer has started using GPT-3 to help in their day to day tasks at work.

I know there are concerns and limits such as the privacy of business information, but I think there are potential applications for text-related AIs nonetheless.

Right now the obvious ones for me would be generating an email / document from bullet points (or summarizing to bullet points).

Thanks :)
Sounds like the answer then is to legalize it from top to bottom. Regulate it like any other legitimate business.
STOIC was a language like Forth[1], but including types and other features, used in PDP-11 systems, including the RED text editor. It was then adapted to Linux as STOICAL a decade or so ago. I've picked it up, and with a lot of help here on HN, got it compiling in 2022 as MSTOICAL[2]. Then my retina detached and the world was blurry until recently.... I look forward to getting back to work on it soon.

Its not only the money. Rangers get shot at, even killed, by poachers every now and then (Botswana’s “shoot to kill” policy won’t have helped there)

They didn't actually make sense early on.

Continuing rockets like Saturn 1B and doing a Saturn 1C would have been vastly smarter then all the Atlas/Thor rockets since then.

Solids were a result of military launchers wanting to continue to relay on technology for ICBMs and those ICBM producers having political influence.

Solids are a sad unnecessary diversion. They massively increase operation complexity from manufacturing to launch.
Multiple launch issues including fueling and a an apparent "interflange crack" which doesn't sound good.

The loading of propellant was delayed by about an hour because of passing storms and the danger of lightning. Then a leak popped up in a hydrogen fuel line. That was resolved, and both propellant tanks have been filled in the rocket's core stage. Engineers are now investigating two other issues. The first is a possible “crack in an intertank flange.”

My Precision 7710 has been great and is about the same age. All of the ports on the left side just died. Display port, HDMI, USB-A, USB-C.

I’m glad it lasted as long as it did, but they don’t even have parts for it anymore so I can’t get it repaired.

It still hasn’t completely died so I’m still using it as a laptop but ended up getting a little System76 Meerkat for my desk and I love it. I just use the laptop as a 3rd screen with Barrier.
The problem with the logic is that he’s commercializing the over-promises. Investors are buying his stock based on those missed promises. People are buying cars based on that too and are being let down.
Its an obvious relationship really. In order to get to 100% cpu occupancy you either need the literally perfect spacing of every request or something is waiting somewhere. Its easier to reason about with very big tasks on a single core, 1s of CPU and tasks 0.75s long the best case is 0.75s, but if you put two tasks in there at the same time one is going to take 1.5s and actually getting to 100% CPU usage only allows for 1.3 tasks a second, the difference in latency on this very low queue behavior is a doubling in latency and queues can often get as lot longer than 1 waiting. SSDs are classic device that shows throughput increase with more queuing due to better utilisation but also substantial increases in latency from typically ms to seconds.

Practically speaking the only way to really reduce latency to the minimum of the software is idle resources awaiting work.

Those weren't dictatorships, given that that word has concrete meaning during the Roman Republic. The actual dictatorships were those of Sulla and Caesar, and neither dictatorship was elected by the tribes.

Also, very much true. Original poster talked about ostracization in anient Athens, but assigned it to Rome.

I'd point out that your comment reads like an optimate framing of the tribunates of the Gracchi brothers - I know that they gained unconstitutional multiple terms in a row, but as far as I know their popularity was genuine, not requiring what sounds exactly like the complaint of an oligarch about the riff-raff.

Huawei Matebook 14 is pretty good.
The issue with stability is not that it's a single stage, but rather the tall shape of the lunar Starship. A single stage lander/ascender, with all the weight of the engines on the bottom, will be beneficial for stability. The mass of the engines is a significant fraction of the total because there's rather little propellant. (E.g. the Apollo ascent stage had a propellant mass ratio of exactly 1:1 (2,353kg to 4,700kg gross), despite a low ISP of only 311s.)

But certainly you're right about the risk of damage on landing.

To be fair, "stable" also means "can stand up without falling over", which in a computer context gives it the secondary meaning (besides "unchanging") of "doesn't crash", which is very easily interpreted by the layman as "not beset by bugs that make it crash".

I sort of agree? If Son was succeeding with this strategy I would totally agree that it's a huge problem.

But he utterly failed. All he did was redistribute investor money into consumer pockets(and weirdly distort some markets in ways that are difficult to understand).

It seems like Softbank is a story of would-be monopolists losing their shirts and consumers(and even employees in those sectors) benefitting from the competition.

Landing on the moon, by itself, is utterly worthless.

Landing on the moon is only of value if it leads to things additional that are of value. But this indirect benefit requires that landing on the moon be cheap enough and easy enough that the additional activities are practical. I don't think anything needing SLS qualifies.

The confusion of symbol with substance has bedeviled the space program since its inception. It's a kind of cargo cult thinking. To do worthwhile things on the moon requires being able to get to the moon in a practical and economical way. I'm not sure even Starship qualifies, to be honest, but it may.

>It can be about “mundane” stories of “this young person did something” too.

Yes of course but your well-meaning reply is missing the argument made by gp: for some topics, the readers don't have enough background knowledge to know that it's a mundane story because the journalists are (possibly inadvertently) inflating the significance.

E.g. compare 2 different examples:

- "Teenager builds ramp to help nursing home patients in wheelchairs." <-- Readers already have enough background to know that "ramps" are common solutions to "wheelchair mobility" so the significance can easily be categorized as "mundane feel-good story". We can easily discount the ramp in the title and therefore properly appreciate that it's actually a human-interest story of a teenager doing something nice.

- "Teenager invents tool to spot elephant poachers." <-- Most readers have no existing knowledge of what technology is already in use to judge the significance of that type of story.
It's... not? There are no allowances in Starship design for long range trip. It could be used to kickstart building a vessel that could do it, by being useful launch vehicle to ship materials, but that's it.

This seems to be a case of the market working as intended.

The are making risky plays to establish monopoly but the market actually doesn't reward that unless the government helps to solidify those monopolies.

Thus they use billions with this strategy.

Its questionable if the consumers are hurt, as basically SoftBank is subsidizing the consumers.

Now one can argue that in this process society is hurt in some more subtle ways. But that's hard to quantity. And we also get decent netflix shows out of all that wasted investment.
Nvidia GTX 1660 Super with 6GB of VRAM.

I do runs at 384px by 384px, with batch size of 1. Sampling method has almost no impact on memory. Using k_euler with 30 steps renders an image in 10 to 20 seconds. The biggest thing that affect rending speed is the steps and the resolution, so 512x512 with C 50 using ddim is much slower than 256x256 with C 25 using k_euler.

The sampling methods run mostly in the same timelines, but the k_euler one can produce viable output at lower C values, meaning it is faster than the rest.

Don't add gfpgan in the same pipeline, as it takes more vram.

I'm running it on Windows 10 with latest drivers. I set the python process to Realtime priority in task manager (makes a slight difference!). Have not tried it on Linux.
Sorry if this was already mentioned, a quick search didn't turn up exact matches to what would be my $0.02.

A simple and relatively safe option would be to go into a computer store that has many machines that can also be tried. Look for a machine with something like 11th gen Intel or AMD 5600U/5800U CPU-s with enough RAM for your needs and decent build quality – this is why it'd be the best to do it in person.

If you find a machine you're happy with regarding its specs and build quality, just throw a reliable GNU+Linux OS on it (Debian with Budgie has been my go-to choice lately), and enjoy your hardware. If you plan on gaming, AMD discrete GPUs will cause less headaches, but nVidia drivers can also be easily installed if you follow the tutorial for your distro of choice.

TLDR: 1–2 year old hardware in a decent chassis running GNU+Linux will likely make you pretty happy for a lot less money.

EDIT: I see Dell being recommended everywhere... All the dead motherboards I've seen in laptops were only in Dells. If you choose a Dell, be sure to get some excellent return policy with it, but even then you may be left without a laptop for a while in the case of failure. This is not the case with business-oriented models though, but Asus, Lenovo, MSI, and even Clevo have proven to be more reliable in my experience. The build quality vaires between brands and model lines, so that you need to experience in person.

I believe the hinge is a known issue on earlier models and you can get a replacement from Framework.

Probably start here: https://community.frame.work/t/explainer-lid-rigidity-hinge-...

Key section: "However, we identified that for a period of time last fall, our hinge supplier shipped a subset of hinges with forces below our accepted spec range. We’ve since added additional tests both at the hinge supplier and at our laptop assembly site to prevent out of spec hinges from shipping out. If you have a laptop where the lid angle drops on its own while the laptop is stationary, write into support with a video of it, and we’ll send you a new Hinge Kit."
> To get an idea of long term damage, imagine Uber and Lyft went bankrupt as they're running at a loss, what would you then use for transportation?

I worked for a European competitor before Uber and there were tons of taxi and car services that were already in operation. It was just not centralized in one app. And for most people that mostly stay in 1 city its totally fine.

Uber really is mostly useful if you travel a whole lot.

Sure the price might be higher because is no longer subsidized by Soft Bank but that's not bad, that's simply paying a fair price.

Do you have any sources you can cite on point one? I can see that there could be a reasonable hypothesis that centralised services will reduce costs for drivers heading to pick up customers, or carbon emissions, both due to shorter journeys.

What I'd be interested in is whether or not that has been studied, how variable the gains are by locale (eg big city, small city, town, etc) and what the consequences are for driver pay and conditions. Likewise, effects on things like price paid per journey, both average and 95th percentile so as to gather peak pricing (which, in the UK at least, cabs don't charge).

It'd also be interesting to understand why this isn't done on a municipal level - eg, a unit of local government could buy one of the many, many off the shelf systems for this and require taxis to use it. Perhaps a few tweaks to make it multi tenant, so as to preserve the existing structures of taxi companies. I suspect this would confer the benefits of more efficient allocation, without the ill effects associated with Uberisation.
