I find the problem is more that processed foods tend to be overloaded in carbs. Most flavored drinks have lots of carbs. BBQ sauce and ketchup is basically carbs and water. Low fat food replaces fat with carbs. Hot dogs and burgers replace meat with carbs.

And then you eat a hot dog with the bread and feel like it's the bread that makes you feel bad, when it's really both of them together.
The database that gives you all the random 64 bit IDs for devices: that's another vulnerability.
Absolutely. As an EV owner who wants to keep his car for at least ten years, it doesn't make sense to me to dull out the high capacity batteries to support the grid. It seems to me that it would be better to use recycled batteries for home PV storage etc.

I'm not too obsessed but it was easy enough to look up the data on what charge states result in the least loss of range over time.
I’d argue that this sort of career choice intersection is actually not helpful for most.

Here’s why. For most people, there are plenty of things in this world that they’ve never tried that they’d enjoy the hell out of — especially if they get past an initial learning curve. There are plenty of things that they’ve never committed to long enough to know they have a serious aptitude for it (for example, it took me 5+ years of learning music to realise I’m a brilliant improviser, just because most early music training doesn’t even touch on it).

In my opinion, if someone isn’t sure what career to choose, the solution actually is: go out and try more stuff. A lot more stuff. Do something long enough that you get past the initial learning curve.

Once you’ve collected enough real world experience and data, then you can make an intersection of “what you’re good at”, “what you enjoy” and “what pays” — but you probably won’t even need to, since this is a trivial exercise compared to actually gaining that data in the first place.
Between Amazon's useless search and how accommodating Amazon is to scammers (listing swaps for reviews), it's hard to not imagine that some Amazon hoo-haw has deep and personal loathing for each+every customer.
"Unlike Thomas Edison's later invention of 1877, the phonograph, the phonautograph created only visual images of the sound and did not have the ability to play back its recordings."

In my mind this seems like the difference between the visual representation of the waveform an audio editor shows vs the literal bits encoding the actual audio.

In practice one can approximate the original sound from the image of the waveform, but in most cases it will likely lack in resolution relative to a medium engineered for playback.
And then be stuck in the same situation: tied to one company, albeit a different one?

But no, I still prefer the trackpoint: any trackpad, no matter how godly, still involves moving my hand from the keyboard down, back and forth, back and forth. Nothing is speedier than to move the mouse pointer around with a trackpoint.

And I would grant for certain applications a trackpad is better, like image editing where your hand is on the trackpad most of the time. But for anything involving heavy keyboard use, a trackpoint can't be beat.
No he didn't, a (large from what I hear) team did. However Karpathy is still a smart, well accomplished, guy and he has a talent many academics don't: being able to write actual production grade, high quality software. And he's a good communicator.
Only if you are doing long sessions of heavy processing. Even then it just slows down by 15-20% so if you aren’t doing that on a regular basis it shouldn’t be a problem. Under normal loads there is no throttling. If you do video editing on a daily basis, you probably want to look at the MacBook Pros.

Maybe. Or maybe it's to soak naive clients for all they're worth. The remedy for bad benchmarks is good benchmarks, not no benchmarks.

> Just look at the « independent and fair review » that Top Gear made about Tesla.

What about it? It was accurate and informative (unless you think Tesla lied about their range stats). The good points about electric cars are real but they don't mean we should ignore the downsides.
Or Instagram reels, or Snapchat…whatever they call it that’s basically also a TikTok clone. It’s ironic that Meta is suing Snapchat for infringing IP when everyone and their brother ripped off the vertical video UI.

> There's subtle differences here, but Google tends to use a lot more English words, and Huawei talks mostly in code.

I learned how well code speaks when working with remote web/mobile app contractors who hardly spoke English and had a 12hr time difference. If they didn't understand something right the first time, it could cost a day of progress. I started giving them code or cURL examples on how to use every backend call I implemented, often using multiple together. We ended up better oiled than some fully-localized teams I've been on.

Now I just work with other Americans in the Google offices, and I've seen success focusing our internal communications and docs more on examples. I often complain about how many English words our docs have, both internally and with customers. Nobody cares what my thing is or what philosophy it follows, they care how to use it. And like TikTok videos, brevity helps.

However, I don't think this explains TikTok's ability to load videos quickly.
Raising the bar for open source standards
I agree. This is definitely about addiction and its bedfellow codependence.

I read the writing style as bizzaro, perhaps to soften difficult topics and to add intrigue. So to that end Michelle isn't actually puppeting Jeff. She's just a controlling girlfriend.
A standard US dryer outlet is rated for 30 amps at 240v. For a sustained rating of 80% that's 5760 watts, which at 4 miles per kwh is 23 miles per hour, not 30.

Frankly it would take a hell of a lot to convince people to be ok with getting home, plugging their car in, and having the charge level go down instead of up. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable with it.
Yes, I think the PLA is a paper tiger.
Some of this is already done. For one thing, it's a way to spread funding around. I have a friend who was a higher-up at a Federal agency that had its offices in Ohio. There are state colleges and universities all over the place, and public school teachers are government employees. Hospitals get a lot of public funding. And of course, military facilities.

Possibly part of the envy is the disparity in wage visibility. Nobody knows how much people make in the private sector, whereas government salaries are a matter of public record, and can seem high relative to a sub-living-wage job, while also having "cadillac" benefits, reasonable job security, and comfortable working conditions.

I've read (and probably seen) that there are large regions of the Midwest where the only towns with any appreciable prosperity either have a college or a hospital, or both.
That's so old! I can't imagine being almost a century old. I hope she had a good life, beginning to end.

I'd suggest buying something that's already built, if at all possible. I'm going through a custom build myself right now, and I would definitely not recommend it unless it's the only option to get what you want and you're prepared to get very hands on.
It doesn't work but is a fun idea.
This is extremely cool!

I haven't much of a clue on motion capture. But, the capture I want to do requires feet, hands, face, shoulders, arms, knees, fingers, AND the ability to do it in any position. Curl up in ball. Roll over on the floor. I want to capture more than just a head and hands upright but AFAIK there's no solution under $20k.

See user name. if I want to make pr0n, I need to be able to capture those positions. Is there anything that can do it on the cheap?
ChatGPT doesn't seem to have a much longer memory
The opinion being that the independent country of Taiwan should not be attacked by the communist dictatorship of China?

Probably a coincidence.
No, that's true. But to add detail, this is how things kicked off in America particularly, in the late 1700s or early 1800's. The first American mills that could mass produce stuff were located along streams that used the turning of the waterwheels to do their work.

This comes from the book Behemoth: The History of the Factory by Freeman (edit: added this later). One of the main characters is a man named Richard Arkwright. You can see that his biography broadly tracks what I'm describing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Arkwright

You could call this line the 'origin story' of the Industrial Revolution - the invention of the Spinning Frame (a water powered automation machine, if you will).

> Arkwright and John Smalley of Preston set up a small horse-driven factory at Nottingham. To obtain capital for expansion, Arkwright formed a partnership with Jedediah Strutt and Samuel Need, wealthy nonconformist hosiery manufacturers. In 1771, the partners built the world's first water-powered mill at Cromford, which covered both carding and spinning operations and employed 200 people.

I normally accidentally end up there. I find it leads to better content than browsing by headlines to be honest, just really unintuitive.

I tend to go Ask HN first, then my threads, then main page, then Show. But a lot of the good stuff is actually on the 4th page of news - things that are not controversial enough to get back and forth conversations, but interesting enough that someone comments on them after they're no longer featured.
No, of course, an attack by the communist dictatorship on peaceful, free, and independent Taiwan would be terrible. Nobody's advocating that.
Not promoting this. But, sounds like a great area for monetization.

Anyone can use without conversational memory, or with limited conversational memory.

Then, charge for larger conversational memory.
That doesn’t sound like a very good test suite then.
To clarify, I'm asking about what vocabulary I can use to discuss ChatGPT without anthropomorphizing it. Like, here's some comments where I talk about my observations of how it works:

The video is a kine of misleading, which should told you that the driving in the video was a vision of the future rather than a capability it already had or would soon have.

The Industrial Revolution started in the mid-18th century in England. The steam engine was introduced before the Seven Years' War (1756-63), where England and its allies won and the former essentially became the sole European power in India, though it still only controlled a small fraction of the territory. The Industrial Revolution was well underway before the Anglo-Mysore and Anglo-Maratha wars where England gained control of most of India. The Scramble for Africa was 100 years later. The American colonies were confined on the east side of the Appalachians. The amount of revenue derived from control of that amount of territory couldn't possibly have driven the largest economic transformation in the history of the world. Many empires of similar size have come and gone with no similar jump in the world economy.

>In 1750 Britain imported 2.5 million pounds of raw cotton, most of which was spun and woven by cottage industry in Lancashire. The work was done by hand in workers' homes or occasionally in master weavers' shops. In 1787 raw cotton consumption was 22 million pounds, most of which was cleaned, carded, and spun on machines.

What could have contributed to the Industrial Revolution, however, is the technology of Bengal, the first region of India that England gained control of. The economy of early-18th-century Bengal has been described as proto-industrial. The lazy "anti-imperialist" critique of the Industrial Revolution in fact undersells India as merely a source of resources. In fact, in the Anglo-Mysore wars, it was the Indians who had superior artillery (though English tactics carried the day) — designs adapted from the "Mysore rockets" were used in the siege of Baltimore, which gave us the infamous line "the rockets' red glare" in that song where they almost seem like an anachronism.
I was dealing with soreness for a while, and of course it's different for everybody, but two things helped me: 1) Learning more keyboard shortcuts and terminal commands, to cut down on mouse use for a while. 2) Touch screen. Those things also helped with eyestrain headaches.

Most buses do at least 4 trips a day, elementary then a middle or high school route in the morning, then repeat that in the afternoon.

There are only idle for 2 or 3 hours during the day.

(Field trips can add another usage in the middle of the day as well)
Ha, we'll see about that "near peer" status ;)

And we'll see if Zeihan is correct about China falling in sub 10 years. I think it might hold on longer, but who knows.
Brother bought a bunch of bad caps for their laser printers during lockdown. Now a year later things are coming home to roost. You can see it on the forums and on YouTube. Failures at right about the same 8-10000 hours, but since they're used in the power supply and printers are plugged in all the time... they die right outside warranty.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's a class action, where everyone gets $5 off a new printer.
"Some people don't want to get promoted because it might be too much work."

I wonder if this is really just the key reason here. Perhaps everything else here just revolves around that. e.g. people being defensive with feedback and not analyzing perf reviews because they don't actually want to grow.

Because there was a demand, far-right friendly infrastructure services have been founded, and are, as best I can tell, doing fine business-wise.

As a free speech absolutist, I cannot fathom a world in which we have to trample on one group's freedom of speech and association just to appease another's.

For decades I thought the TrackPoint was a cumbersome tool that couldn't possibly replace a mouse.

But about 5 years ago, I just decided to start using it when wasting time browsing the web and got very very good at using it for navigation once I increased the sensitivity and practiced for a bit.

Today, it's the only navigation method I use on my laptop and desktop (via a TrackPoint II Bluetooth keyboard: https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/accessories-and-software/keyb...).
Can you name the president of Switzerland?

This is the nation that hosts the davos summit, is the hub of FIFA and red cross, plus several other high profile multinationals, NGOs, and wotld bodies, and is also the only core european country not parricipating in thr EU zone agreement.

Surely if you know the PM of Spain, Norway or Poland you ought to know switzerland right?
>I'm sitting here in shock wondering if you don't realize what you typed

After you're done being shocked, maybe you should read my comment more carefully. I didn't say "Tailscale shouldn't have logging". I didn't even ask "Why does Tailscale have logging?" I asked "Why would I want to use a security product that phones home?"

I don't make decisions for Tailscale. If they want to have logging, analytics or free puppies, they're welcome to. I make decisions for myself, and I've decided that I wouldn't use any security product that phones home.
I'm with you on this as I get older. 'Been fascinated with Clojure for years but now sick of being out in the cold/on the fringe as it hasn't really converted into anything which brings home the bacon so I've turned to Java and Javascript lately. Will even do PHP if necessary if it means more paid work as a solo dev.
I think the point is that for average, white, middle-class people, the helmet is part of the little bike hobby kit you keep in your garage, but in reality there are many people perhaps more economically and legally vulnerable that have a greater need to ride a bike and less convenient access to safety equipment.
It's often called "brown out reset." They are fiddly and frequently get disabled because they're in the way of development.
The author of the article actually doesn't propose taking away helmets. Instead the author says: "Only a suite of infrastructure changes can combat the deadliest risk to cyclists. Not helmets alone."

I think the author is actually a bit careful. It is actually quite possible to make the infrastructure so safe that helmets offer little additional protection -and thus people stop wearing them-. This is (rather in a nutshell) what has happened in the Netherlands.

This situation still so far from the typical (North America) experience at this moment that I would fully understand if you don't quite believe it.

However, hopefully you can see there has to be some reason why all the people in eg. this video [1] aren't wearing helmets. They can't all be crazy, after all.

That was in the original spec, but had to be changed because of technical constraints in the toolbar code.

Hopefully that can be addressed at some point in the near future :)
Hell yeah. Been thinking about this in my spare cycles a lot! The missing thing when interacting with GPT3 was building up layers of re-usable abstraction that could be mixed together: i.e. a prompt that's great at summarization, a prompt that great at generating a list of 5 x related ideas, a prompt that's great at sorting a list of inputs according to some verbal sorting description.

Had a play around with this early-GPT3 days by creating a Python decorator that let you easily write "prompt functions" and then you could combine these to create higher-level prompt generating machines.

LangChain takes this to the logical end-point, awesome!
Just based on skimming some of it, the content is actually pretty solid. I'm quite surprised at how wide the range of the topics are.

Ambiguous headline.

But I don't mind ;->
I’m certain you’ve misguessed important aspects of my professional life. I’m also certain there are many people I’d love to work with and see have a chance to succeed. Some get this advice before I have a chance to intervene, which is bad. Many just get discouraged before anyone could sway them so blatantly at all, or don’t even have the opportunity to try.

Your point was intelligence, right? How intelligent is it to just categorically exclude people based on their disadvantages? How intelligent is it to presume every systemic thing that came before you was right? How intelligent is it to encourage everyone to think the same way you do on the subject and discourage anyone from being more willing to take chances with people they feel more comfortable mentoring or training than you do?
You’re right. That is the sub rosa win of the day. I had no idea.
It makes me wish I had a reason to buy a new computer!
Ask HN: What to do when someone else starts your dream business?
For about 7 years I had this idea - it was my baby, something that always brought me reassurance that everything would work out for me.

The problem is, it is in biotech, and there is no way around needing at least $1-$2M to start it.

I looked into some MVP's, but couldn't self fund and didn't want to do something that would give away the main idea.

I then lost thousands of dollars options trading to try to raise the money.

I then tried other smaller and unrelated side hustles, none of which worked out.

Finally I approached some investors, I spoke to 3 different groups and they all passed.

Coincidentally, about 8 months later, the idea I've had for 7 years, that no one else thought of before, is now a company.

I'm not accusing anyone of "stealing" the idea and there's nothing I can do about it.

But mentally, this was always the thing in the back of my head that gave me hope, like I would "make it someday" off this idea.

Now that it's gone - I'm incredibly discouraged and in financial ruin trying to realize it.

I need hope that I'll become rich some other way. Also, money aside, my ego would've enjoyed the praise that came with this as it's a net good for humanity.

To those who are saying just compete with them - it's even less likely I get the money I need to do so now. Maybe if I had $3M in the bank I would, but I don't.
Isn't this a chat interface to various apis? I guess that's the point. But it doesn't seem like that is utilizing the power of large language models. Maybe I'm not understanding this.

Noting that I fully support remote work...

Your last point does have a pretty big caveat, in that widespread strict residential zoning outright prohibits almost every kind of useful support business from setting up shop close enough to where many people live (that is, in the suburbs).

The answer to this, of course, is "so let's get rid of that hopelessly strict zoning, which is bad for a host of other reasons, too", not "so remote work is still the problem".

In most of the countries I know of where normal commuters don't wear helmets on their bicycles, people do wear them on racing bikes, mountain bikes, mopeds, motorcycles etc.

They are in different risk categories.
