so the NUC are being sold at obscene prices....

i am very much interested in buying old tech because

1. it is cheaper and has seen a lot so it usually isnt flimsy.
2. no need for warranty as the local repair scene is pretty good with aftermarket spares readily available.

i broke 4-5 Pis last year because of a bad usb cable that was transferring data and i didnt realize until later the cause. anyway, i am stuck with pis with USB overcurrent problem.

Keller stepped down in 2004, so not really. In 2004, replacing 10 years old systems starts becoming a consideration but it's not an active need. Kelly was CEO from 2004 to 2022. And is now chairman of the board. Bob Jordan is the new CEO, since February 2022.
Sounds like a startup idea: find a way to identify this scraper traffic and offer different pricing to the scraper (maybe higher, maybe punitively lower).
Imagine you are navigating a tiny robot on mars, or let's say a giant land region with hills and valleys.

Saying it "split it evenly" and giving it numbers is something like saying "find me the hill next to this valley". This will lead you to the valley on the left, then to the tiny hill right behind it. The hill right behind it in this example is where all the weights about splitting stuff evenly are hanging around.

Giving it "split evenly and make sure the math is correct" is like saying "find me the the hill next to this valley, but make sure it's the tallest". So it will lead you to the same valley, but then to a different hill, because of adding "tallest" it will lead you to the intersection of where all the weights about splitting stuff evenly and correct math were found.

I.e. there is other stuff you can engineer about - saying stuff like "Write the result step by step and check for correctness." afterwards will navigate it to the same hill but then towards the "all math tests are here" hill which is where step by step calculations weights are and it will find it's new home there, giving you a more detailed output and more chances to be right since the prediction is easier - basically it "splits" the task into smaller, easier to predict chunks, like you split ugly code into small testable functions to understand it.

As others have said, it's the middle-endianness itself which is weird. Also, if you're going to write the whole date anyhow, I don't think it makes a huge amount of sense to describe any part of it as "more important" to the extent that it deserves re-ordering a date.

The evolution of the US ordering feels (I might be wrong!) similar to how spoken numbers are little endian from 11 to 19, yet big endian from 21 to 99. Some languages are even worse in this regard; but regardless, they're unhelpful historical artifacts that we learn to live with, not actually helpful, well-thought-out, or even merely irrelevant. Notably there are considerable differences between how quickly children learn maths in different languages, and digit ordering may contribute (of course other cultural factors may contribute too). I wouldn't be surprised if date ordering too is similarly a small but real drag on learning.
Who ever said anything about revenue?
Yes, it's weird this happens. It's all because this is a conditional model. So it can be influenced by anything in the prompt, including the persona it is assuming.

But it is not deterministic. For each token it picks at random, from a probability distribution generated by the neural network. You can make it deterministic if you set temperature=0. In general it is stochastic, if you sample again with the same prompt you get a different answer.
I think you miss the point, she's taking the perspective of a failed man. In general, porn is pretty boring to her compared to the act itself. She states this by saying she'd rather watch show jumping while having sex, over watching sex. (I'm in her court and anecdotally so are many other women).

I think it would be great if cities try to regulate or limit AirBNBs. I have lived in an apartment building in Central London in recent years were I would have different neighbours every few days. Doesn’t give a safe feeling to always have random people in the building.

This is just the two of them, and they are making flour to be sold to other people to fund things that they need. I think a better representation is to look to certain African tribes for a better insight on how family structures may have looked in terms of child rearing.

The 'nuclear' family structure is quite a recent development (in terms of human existence), and although far less common now, family structures typically included uncles and aunts and their children.

> It is a cohesive unit which ideally provides economic, social and psychological security to all its members. Adinlofu (2009) made mentioned that the extended family ensures procreation of children and provides for the early care and training of children. Degbey (2012) also added that this same family system defines “social and moral norms and safeguards both material and spiritual customs and traditions as well as providing a variety of role models preparing the way for adulthood”. Degbey (2012) emphasized that the dominance of the elders/aged has a relatively high degree of social control on the individual especially, the youth.

In a (very) previous life I worked for a company that made planogram software for Windows CE handhelds. This caused me to have a (brief) subscription to The Grocer magazine. We had a contract with Transport For London (TfL) and Cadburys to help update the rather outdated chocolate vending machines in the London Underground - the metro/tube. These machines had no screen, or indeed viewing window. They looked like something from the 19th century. But they did have an IR port. I recall learning the details of the IR protocol ( > 20 years ago. I don't remember its name) with an aim to gathering telemetry as part of the refilling routine.

I got to spend a day following a guy from TfL as he wheeled boxes of chocolate around the stations, with a route calculated to require the least amount of stairs. He had caches in locked rooms in a few stations. What strikes me now is the sheer analogue concreteness of it all. The selection of chocolate was limited by the rather small machines. The machines had power connections but no other active comms. I don't think the IR ports were in use at that time, so everything boiled down to the TfL guy's record keeping on hand-written notes. The route was governed by the combination of accessibility - meaning we serviced some machines in a station, but not others on a different, hard-to-reach, level. We moved from station to station stopping off at the locked-rooms to restock his trolley.

I did get to visit the offices of the chocolate factory at Bournville, which could be smelled from some distance. Dreams of Willy Wonka aside, I didn't even get a selection box, never mind a tour on the chocolate river. Ho hum.

This job was probably the two worst years of my career. I learned for more than I wanted to about layout of cereal boxes and magazines in supermarkets. I travelled a lot - two international flights a week, every week. I nearly froze to death trying to find a bookshop in Montreal. But I learned one really valuable lesson. There are plenty people in the world doing jobs that are boring, even to them, but they don't care because they can make a living, and that's the important thing. I am not one of those people. A job that doesn't engage me is one that I do badly, and will eventually get fired from. I left this job just in time, for something much more interesting, and initially at least, much less well paid and I never regretted doing so. Not for a second.
I found the first few chapters of the google SRE book a good primer, in particular Part 2[0]. The end of each chapter has cited sources which allowed me to dive deeper.

I know it's not quite the same thing, but the Bruce Willis vs Apple disagreement over whether he has the rights to pass his music collection down to his heirs makes it clear that whilst the licence 'feels' more permanent with iTunes than with Amazon, the lifetime/ownership of the rights is about the same.

I really enjoyed how this article was written.

I'm going to classify this as a "just do a good job." We people like to understand the world with stories. Plot points. Twists. Heroes, antiheroes, antagonists... That's a bias.

All of the failed B&N strategies were snappy headlines... good stories: Online sales, digital sales & ereader, bookstore cafes, restaurant business...

These are all strategies you can put on a slide and sell to a board or executive team. An investment blogger can summarize them in a tweet. People can easily form opinions about them. You either think it's a good idea, or a bad one... and expect success or failure to follow smoothly from the goodness of the decision.

IRL though, execution matters. Almost every war ever fought was determined in battlefields, not palaces. That's true for Russia in Ukraine, the US in Afghanistan... and we'll shortly forget this lesson about both. From the outside, it's always easier to credit political-level decisions and forget about execution. I think this is a major recurring fallacy. Real outcomes are not deterministic. They're usually determined by execution.

Ted Gioia does a great job of creating a narrative frame here. But, it sounds like successes actually came from sub-narrative decisions. How purchasing is managed. Pricing & promotion policies. Responsibility splits between HQ & stores. These are all mundane, "housekeeping" issues... execution details.

Strategic decisions obviously matter. They're also interesting, especially to low engagement outsiders... including shareholders. They do not matter nearly as much as tactics. Tactics > Strategy, in life as in chess. This is the kind of thing that gets lost in 2nd hand accounts.

You might get an average of all discord users, or all discord users at once. Neither would seem like a real person.

For instance someone who is interested in and capable of talking about any topic will not look real. A normal discord user will not contribute to conversations they don't care about or know nothing about.

I am interested to see which social media platforms double down on welcoming ai generated content and catering to the remaining users that prefer addictive content to social connection.

This is speculative but we may see a very strong pivot from the "social" aspect to the addictive content aspect in publicly listed social media companies in order to continue to appease shareholders, which could, possibly, accelerate this potential reemphasis on real world communication and connection.

> Once a critical mass of pieces (planes/crew) were out of position the whole network fell apart, and it’s large enough that it seems like neither the humans nor software can easily reason about how to resume operations. Hence the need for a “full system reboot” over many days.

We had days like that in the UK but with the rail system. And it when it happens it’s also due to snow. We’ve seen it on global scale recently due to covid putting ships in the wrong places so that optimised shipping routes become a mess.

Yeah, the pretentious ignorance of cryptobros to reality irks me out. It seems that in discussions they really try to change the goalpost while saying "X is tolerated, why not crypto?"
I think people also forget another fact - O(f(N)) means O(N) + c and a lot of times the value of c overwhelms the gains from algorithm for one off uses. O(f(N)) might also be amortized cost and you need to evaluate your use carefully to see if you see the gain.
Veganism is an extreme and therefore it tends to attract people who are seeking extremes. This brings a rather negative image because there's always a part of intolerance and/or unreasonableness in extremes.

I think most people will think that, for instance, not eating honey or eggs is too extreme.
After 10-messages-long discussion - probably (I'm not sure but let's say you're right). But you won't have 10-messages-long discussion with anybody if there's 1010 users and 10 of them are human.

AFAIR discord requires phone number, and that's the main reason spam isn't a problem, so maybe we're already there.

Splotchy hard to read type, low quality paper and binding, poorly aligned text, rough edges from blunt cutting, weird cover possibly in a different language, and the knowledge that the authors aren't getting money from your purchase.
Potentially silly question, but how can a book be a fake? Do you mean someone copied the title and put their own text? If I order a book, let's say Infinite Jest, I care that the book contains the words that correspond to the novel written by David Foster Wallace. If that is the case, I got what I wanted. I don't really care who printed it or what the cover looks like.
That sounds like a wildly unprofitable concept at first, but I could envision a sort of torture chamber, where you get to stop the torture by actually paying for the service. All other things being equal, the torture may as well come in the form of ads.

Manufacturers, to keep up with the latest changes in technology, need to explore one of the most critical elements driving factories forward into the future: machine learning. Let’s talk about the most important applications and innovations that the ML technology is providing in 2022-2023.
I can imagine a future where it's quite easy to fake real people. By gathering information, pictures and maybe even videos of a person, you might be able to deep fake a credible video of them. It might know their address and use pictures and Streetview material to have them "record" a video from their house.

That means that a clever script would be able to figure out who a persons real friends are (that info is easily obtained already today), and create personalised videos from said friends. In such a scenario it might not be the Great Logging off, but it would certainly be a situation where you think "I had breakfast with my friend and he said X to my face, so I can believe it.", but anything online can be considered noise.
That’s an interesting idea, although overweight people actually have faster metabolisms by virtue of being bigger.

During the pandemic, some shopping centers in my area started to measure wrist temperatures. Once, my wrist was still cold from winter temperatures outside:

"28.5, ok, next"
My issue is they did this at the expense of other, more disadvantaged groups.

I myself have been coming in and out of their space trying to job hunt.

(Turns out a common trope is people don't want to socialize with someone who "lives with their parents" or is un/under employed.)

So picture you're trying to study for OSCP, and you can't find a space that's quiet. In a library.

And what you'd think would happen is someone would go "oh, you're in IT? I know someone looking for that" and solve the issue.

And then instead, they treat it like a game -- or worse, start acting purposefully othering.

That is my core complaint -- that both those spaces and those resources in the monetary sense divert disproporionately to folks who, frankly, sometimes interact in ways that make me question why they strive so hard to interact with teenagers all day.

(Also, it was often not new users -- just bigger, more elaborate programs for the same rich kids from the suburbs who used to pay for special camps and programs... but now having them held in spaces those who couldn't afford them used to do self education.)

I hope taking the time and energy to type that out helps.

Someone else commented that the library is one of the last noncommercial spaces... I honestly don't have that impression at all. I got the sense if you're not using it to do remote work, or as a community center, but to... check out materials and use them... you are unwelcome unless you're buying stuff (coffee, supplies etc) or part of one of the groups that makes substantial donations when they're not making noise.
> but even if that hits us tomorrow, the amount of raw power that's been unlocked in the last year alone – the tech that's already here – already has the potential to change things in massive waves.

If this is about ChatGPT, we should remember that it is not available in a way that you can build your business applications on top of it in any reliable or meaningful way. It is a very powerful demo of what AI can do, but nothing more yet. Also, OpenAI is spending a lot just to let you and me give it a try and this will not last long. IIRC, they are burning something in the range of 3 million USD per day.
But presumably those slow requests arent evenly distributed. say you have some server generated page + static css, js, images. One would presume the static resources are less likely to be in the 95th percentile (although i guess it depends on architecture a lot)
> none of them scale well when done manually.

Then maybe we should reduce the scale of the megaphones. Current networks are just unpleasant because it's mass hysteria on global level. Scale isn't everything.

I think future forum owners will be continuously finetuning their AI filters to fit their community standards.
Ask HN: What did you learn this year?
nevermind.
Agreed. I recently was going to build a home K8s cluster for fun, ended up adding another old rackmount Atom server instead, and swapping in Noctua fans ( https://www.neilvandyke.org/kubernetes/ ).

It takes up more space, and uses more power, but no paying scalper prices for hardware dependent on a dodgy microSD, wallwart, USB SATA adapter, improvised chassis, etc.
I love books but reading a paper book is a no go nowadays. So what I do if I can't get a book I want in digital format that use one of those paper cutter guillotine like tools to get rid of the book's spine (yeah I know it's sacrilege) or press down the pages with a tool so it's almost flat. Then photo each page with a cheap dslr on a stand, ocr them, and voilá I have my own ebook in whatever format I want. I can make highlights, take notes etc. The process can be accelerated with two dslrs and aligning the pages in a diy wood stand.

Also there are book scanners out there, but don't know the price on these.
OR... delete your social media accounts and stop using it. Especially on the phone. I don't use my phone for anything that would encourage me to scroll over and over.

Aside from the ringer (which is always set to vibrate), I disable notifications for every application. Even e-mail, and yes, WhatsApp/text! If it's important to require my attention in the short-term, they'll call.. and if it's an emergency, they'll leave a voice message - of which I have notifications turned on. Most people won't leave a voice message if it's not that important.

In short, I don't react to my phone. I use it, if I need to look something up- use the map, take a photo, listen to a song. If something requires me to react it, I either silence it (if it's important) or uninstall it.
