It makes sense. The Snapdragon 800 and 801 weren't particularly slow. While cameras have certainly improved, even those weren't bad back then.

I suspect that 2022/2023 flagships would hold up really well 10 years from now.
If it's not a right, does that mean GitHub could ban every black user if they wanted to? I doubt it. Could they ban every Russian (or people of specific nationality in general)? Can they ban everybody sharing an idea?

I'm really curious where the line is drawn.

Apple has done a wonderful job of further locking their user into the golden cage they call a platform.

This is just ignorant speculation from your end. Amazon stopped all hiring rounds over a month ago and even rescinded open offers, and that hasn't changed since Andy Jassy announced the company was going to start the unprecedented firing rounds.
They are working on the technology to build nukes and intercontinental missiles. They stir up trouble in the middle-east all the time, bringing your allies and US interests at danger. They threaten to blockade the street of Hormuz which a lot of your goods travel through. They supply weapons to players that want to hurt US citizens elsewhere, sometimes even on US soil. They provide assistance to North Korea and Russia.

There are probably more reasons why you should care...
I wouldn't know. But I imagine there's an availability bias.

I've worked in more 'traditional' engineering fields (manufacturing, energy, healthcare, aerospace) and the vast, vast majority are long tenured systems built for dedicated uses. I've worked on many systems that are older than me. For those in SV, I imagine it's the opposite. Like you said, HN may be biased to a specific type of development which often leads to biased claims. Tbf, my main issue is with the "everything" modifier in the OPs claim.
Just not enthused to build one more sklearn model.

Why not? If you were a carpenter this would be analogous to “building one more cabinet”. Teaching would be even worse (explaining the same thing for a thousandth time). Literally any job would require you to do “one more thing” on a regular basis. It sounds like you need an attitude adjustment.
I personally find that lack of character and inflections has completely turned me off of audiobooks in favor of podcasting. The typical monotone audio narration causes me to zone out into other thoughts and I find myself rewinding or just turning it off.

Doesn't have to be monthly - sometimes I have months at a time with no subscription running at all. Once one "fills up" or there is a specific show I want to watch _now_, I activate that service and immediately cancel it. I guess it is more of a chore than just leaving them all subscribed and having access whenever - but the savings are easily worth it to me.
Uninterested in piracy. I’m sure there is plenty of great content not covered by my current streaming subscriptions but I am fine not to experience those at all.
C++ turns programming into bloodsport. This is further proof that the language designers failed in every language design competency - at least from user standpoint. And they are working on more of the same!

To do that is only one part of the work. Another one is to qualify from the specifics of a safety-critical application the machine code out of compilers. And I don't talk about the physical hardware qualification and hardware logic
(VHDL/verilog) qualifications.

It is all a matter of trust.

My opinion: I would be a fool to trust what comes out of gcc or clang. Better write assembly directly and remove the compiler trust issue for good.
Regarding youtube and ads, I feel like they've issued an ultimatum. Either you pay us or you effectively can't use the service.

It's entirely within their rights, it's their business. Personally I question that tactic since I'd think it drives people away. The size of youtube is worth a lot.

I'm sure it's working temporarily at least and some staff are getting massive bonuses for driving up revenue. But does youtube's long term goals and staff member 5 year goals go hand in hand?
"One guy proposed my friend that he has a startup idea to use GPT-model to let people talk to their pets and that it should be 'fairly easy' to finetune from an existing model."

- haha this is hilarious!!

A younger me once thought, like the person who pitched that to your friend, that all I needed was an idea (..and if only I could find someone to build it...I'd be a huge success!!) and as I matured and got experience in the world, I realised that ideas are cheap and execution is hard. We need more doers! I'm a reformed ideas guy.
People still "have" it but it's mostly a ghost town. That's maybe a function of your friend group, but I have a feeling that younger people do not use Facebook for dating and adventure like they did in, say, 2008 (when I got an account).
The energy density is partially offset by the higher cycle life of LFP even while charging to 100% SOC.

For instance Tesla recommends an 80% charge for daily unless you know you are going to go a long trip, while on their LFP version they recommend a 100% daily charge to keep cell balance as the LFP pack will have a much longer life than a NCM pack at 80%.

https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_jo/GUID-7FE78D7...

LFP are ideal for shorter range commuter/daily driver cars and LFP tech seems to be closing the gap with cobalt energy density.

This is a very naive take.

When I invest in Amazon or any other company, I expect Amazon to invest in projects that give me a rate of return that exceeds the 4% that I can easily get from Treasury.

If it can't, Amazon better return my money.

Also, Amazon can't hoard employees that aren't being productive. It is better those employees work for startups and other endeavors.

individually, it sucks short-time, but as a nation we are better off with this system. Tech companies not only have generous severance packages
It would be much easier to take seriously if you were making an app for Shopify vs a competitor
Let me share my perspective on piracy as a citizen of Russian Federation who don't think about relocation.

I was a youtube/Spotify/last.fm/[smth other I don't remember] subscriber before 2022.

Actually it was kind of pride in younger population in Russia for games: "I pay for all games I like".

My son, my friends has hundreds of games bought on Steam.

That was a big step actually.

How sanctions worked?

For me:
- youtube/youtube music - I was a subscriber, so it was for me: "No advertisments, ability to support channels, ability to listen youtube videos on locked phone". Now: no advertisements for all Russia - which is great. Not able to listen on locked phone - irritating. Support channels (I'm a WH40K fan) - thru direct donations

- spotify - I still think that last.fm was the best

- netflix, amazon, etc - sorry, I have no options, except eztv, kickass, piratebay, etc. Nothing new

My POV: Piracy is not a problem. Piracy is a solution. When everything else failed.
It's amazing to me that there are four separate pieces of hardware in M1 devices that can do matrix multiplies.

In addition to running on the CPU, M1 Max devices have three separate kinds of hardware-accelerated `gemm`: the GPU, the ANE (Apple Neural Engine), and this special matrix coprocessor. Here's a fairly detailed post that benchmarks each:

https://tlkh.dev/benchmarking-the-apple-m1-max

And here's a great post about the justification for having so much special-purpose hardware:

https://medium.com/swlh/apples-m1-secret-coprocessor-6599492...

As for the matrix coprocessor, Apple's built-in BLAS implementation (Accelerate.framework) uses this chip. You can link Numpy against this to benefit in your Python programs, for example. Here are some old instructions: https://gist.github.com/MarkDana/a9481b8134cf38a556cf23e1e81...

I use the disc service instead of streaming. Its cheaper and the selection has a ton of stuff I want to basically rent but not buy. I also purchase a ton of movies on disc too. It is good for those 'hmm not sure if bargain bin is ok on the price to buy'. Friend of mine uses redbox pretty much exclusively too in the same way. We both have access to decent internet as well.

Downside, there is starting to become a decent number of shows/movies that are exclusive streaming. Second downside is it can be decently slow to get anything. I average about 4 discs per month on a 1 disc out at a time level. It used to be 6-8 per month. But they slowed it down.

I stopped messing with streaming because of the churn of is it on this one or that one. I just gave up and bought whatever boxset I needed. Then found I was not watching the streaming services at all.

Perhaps one of the upsides of the layoffs is we will see more new/interesting startups in the upcoming years.
Yeah, but the problem is that if you have some project running on someone's server, how do you find the issues related to that project if they are not on that same server and managed by that same project owner?

If there is a security issue with some project on GitHub, then you can ask GitHub to look at it and they will take the project down. This cannot be done with projects running on someone's web server.

More useful bus and train, and other mass-transit options, along with densification would go a long way towards that too. Unfortunately though, there's no getting around the fact that driving is convenient as shit. It's a luxury that most Americans have become accustomed to and won't want to give up.

I live in a city but the pandemic meant that I was able to park my car for short grocery trips where previously I would have taken a bus.

Ruby and Python are essentially syntax swaps of the same language. Also not sure how practical it is to write in any of Ruby, Python, Go, or Rust and generate JavaScript.

Elm would be an example of a language which is fundamentally better than JavaScript (and is a practical substitute for what most people are writing JavaScript for), but it isn't the only one.
Around 50 blades per month for the first year
I've seen the same around larger towns my way, but in my instance, I dare say that ground is not farmed as it has been purchased by developers as a buffer or merely the remainder of a larger parcel of land they needed to buy to complete their project. Also depending on regulations might be dumping excess materials from footings of buildings as well as bulk dirt from dressing or cleaning up a building site.

From time to time some people do try to utilise ground that is right beside their own property even if it's just becomes a larger garden ... from what I see of it, a lot of the time it doesn't work out.

Unless you can buy this land cheap or rent it at a fixed rate long term five years minimum, ten is better, I think you'd be wasting your time. The #1 problem people who might do this on the hand shake of the land owner / company director(s) would run into is realisation. Realisation occurs when your efforts prove there is or look like money to be made, and attitudes shifts to where the land owner would like a bigger cut or simply insist it was only for a year or two and you should leave.

If you can secure the land via a rent agreement, then they next challenge is matching a crop with the climate ... then with the soil quality.

> Using three tons vehicles for long-distance journeys or for the transport of goods isn’t efficient: trains (and last-mile delivery on cargo bikes) are a lot more economical

You are right - Rail freight is extremely expensive (typically more expensive than road except for very long routes) and cargo bikes have a tiny payload.

Think about container ships - massive vehicle and much lower cost vs rail freight (dependent on distance).

There's just more content that I want to watch than I have time, or attention, to watch. I only subscribe to Netflix and Disney+; and Disney+ is because I have young children. (I also subscribe to YouTube music, but I consider that a different form of entertainment. And I subscribe to Amazon, but that's for free shipping.)

Most of the time, if I want to watch something that's not part of one of these existing subscriptions, I can rent it for a small fee. I only rent 2-4 times a year. If I think the kids will want to re-watch it, I buy the Bluray. I only buy a few a year.

So, would I go back to piracy? Well... I have to really want to watch it, it has to be missing from my streaming and rental services, and I have to "not care enough to rewatch" to not buy the Bluray. The last thing I pirated, I reminded myself that I've watched it enough to justify buying it outright.

IMO: What we need is copyright reform along with piracy. Copyright should only be protected if an asset is available online instantly at a fair price. Otherwise, if the asset isn't available at a fair price, piracy should be 100% legal.
Sun intended Java to be an uber-platform, to get it running on everything from tiny embedded systems to their giant E10k systems. They'd make money selling JVM licenses in various verticals.

Sun bought into Netscape's vision of the web as the delivery platform for software. Java could run on the server side and then as applets in the browser on the client. The expansion of Java would then expand its use in places Sun wanted to charge for licenses.

Java wouldn't create a moat around their hardware. It was intended to eliminate Microsoft's moat around the Windows platform. If ISVs could write software in Java that could be delivered by a browser on any OS, the actual OS stopped being important. As long as there was a browser and JVM available on a platform it could run that software.
What do they charge in the US? It costs me 3 EUR / month here in NL which is worth it. Amazon regularly either undercut or price-match other stores and for 36 EUR a year I get enough entertainment from Prime alone.

Netflix is 15 EUR / month and I honestly just keep it for the kids + my wife..

No there are some PRAGMA calls that people typically don't set or bother to adjust from the defaults that really improve performance. Some are setting the `journal_mode`, `cache_spill`, and `cache_size`.
Interesting point. There's a whole category of writings called pseudepigrapha because scholars generally agree that they're not written by the people they're claimed to have been written by. If I wrote a play now and sold it to people as a lost play of Shakespeare, it would be considered a forgery. But you don't use the term usually if someone write a religious text and claims it came from a prophet from 400 years earlier.

Likewise, scholars generally agree that at least two of the gospels copied parts wholesale out of another (generally that Mathew and Luke copied from Mark and changed elements of his story). See the synoptic problem for more information about this. And that after they were written, others came along and changed or added elements. The ending of the gospel of Mark, for instance, is generally thought to have been a later addition, and at least some prominent scholars think the nativity story in Luke is. But again, we don't use the term "forgery."

For a more recent example, you don't see the term used to describe The Book of Mormon, which is purported to have been written two millennia before non-Mormons think it was written.

I suppose the term isn't used when matters of faith are the focus. The article uses the term to describe items created with the secular purpose of earning more money, even though they're religious in nature.

They did an experiment like this called the Quantum Eraser Experiment. The outcome is quite strange and I still don't know if I fully understand the result. It suggests potential retro-causality or at least superdeterminism or some kinds of weird time independent action.

I think hunter gatherers had a far more regular diet than early farmers. By the middle ages in Britain most peasants were near starvation most of the year, but hunter gatherers avoided famine as they had a wide variety of food sources available.

The throughline from what software did 20 years ago to what it does today is pretty clear.

There's absolutely no throughline from the current ML projects to an AGI. The kinds of things they're doing don't even resemble conscious or abstract thought. They are probabilistic engines trained to mimic one thing at a time, only responding to specific input prompts, with moderate success.

Just because you can say that the computational structures being used resemble those in a human brain doesn't mean it's capable of the same things.

This "AGI is unfalsifiable" "either you believe or you don't" stuff is religious zealotry, just with a different focus.
As I like to point out in most of these threads, not everyone live in a Californian-like climate.
I had an account for an unnamed streaming service and I really valued contributing to the production of the content with my small contribution. Then I moved from one country to another. After the move I have a credit card issued by a bank in the country I moved to and said streaming service will not accept it as payment. I can't find a way to actually pay them money. It seems the only way to get access is through some bundles with ISPs which sadly do not fit my situation. I find this extraordinarily stupid and I'm not even sure I would call it greedy. It's just counterproductive. I want to give them money, they just seem to have come to the conclusion that money is not fungible, the source matters.
