They remove heat by blowing the air over the flat surface. Looking at presented designs there is no way they would have enough of that flat surface area to remove all that heat. Does not matter how much air they would blow over that tiny surface. Traditional solutions involve gobbles of thin ribs with huge surface area that simply dwarves what they're proposing (I am not mentioning liquid cooling here as in the end it still ends up with the ribs). Clogging would be a problem as well but I guess it will not come to this stage as it would melt CPU first ;)
I think it is a good practice to push only working code, I think it stems from this. And it has a good point - you have finished something. Sometimes if you leave something “hanging” you keep thinking about it for a while, especially when falling asleep.

Existing supertankers can displace in the hundreds of thousands of tons. New, they cost under $100M. Scrap, much less.

They are not bothered much by weather, in normal operation. With that much weight hanging well below the surface, they would be very stable. (Racked together side by side, moreso.) Think of it as a very long oil platform. Those endure any weather with no difficulty.

No need for anything attached to the bottom except anchor chains.

When planning ocean operation, make sure almost everything is at or well above the surface, and everything complicated (motor/generator, winch, power conversion) is well protected from exposure. Ocean deployments that expose expensive stuff to wave action or put it underwater fail, reliably. (Expect tidal generation that puts generators underwater to fail spectacularly.)

Offshore wind has the nacelle well encapsulated and everything that moves far above the waves. Nothing is underwater except the pilings, the end of the support post, and a wire.

On topic of ai deity, to some this is not a joke. Things are about to get interesting.

Interesting. Something is up. A few more things that seemed odd:

1) It looks like most of the reviewers have only reviewed a few businesses. Maybe this is to avoid suspicion, but if the accounts are fake they seem underutilized. I didn't see any fakes with over 6.

2) On the page you linked, several of the reviewers (Thaddues Kelly Parks, Darren Meyer, and Adilson Vierra) gave a standard glowing review but only awarded 3 stars. Also to avoid suspicion? Others gave 4.

3) All (almost all?) the fakes are within the last month. All of the extremely negative reviews are "a year ago". They are so negative I almost wonder if they might be fake too, and it might be extortion.
Probably needed to make room for the hide button. I find this button the most annoying aspect of HN.

A great rebuttal and investigation into a topic that was raised by a shallow alarmist last week.
I don't know how someone can make such a detailed analysis and apparently not understand the limitations of the same analysis. How can such a broad statement be posted otherwise?

There could be all sorts of explanations why a connection might not have shown up in their analysis, rate limiting, batch upload, regional settings. It would have been much better to say: "in my tests I could observe any evidence..." or something similar.

This whole rant is so cringe it reads almost like satire. From the sound of things, the people leaving for other expensive areas were just wealthy semi-tourists who weren't contributing anything meaningfully positive to the city to begin with. The sorts of people the author expects SF-ers to look up to as parental figures or something. Good riddance.

The only thing that is likely to cause SF to experience a Detroit-level exodus is climate crisis. Where will the people migrate to? Probably Detroit!
The standard has portability mechanisms, both for ad hoc authentication across ecosystems (I logged into login.gov yesterday on Chrome browser using my iPhone passkey) as well as exporting passkeys to ecosystem independent vaulting systems.

It's beginning to look like it wasn't a great move to become so dependent on so much closed source software. "It's open source" they cry.

In Seattle where so many people have been earning so much this doesn't really work out unless you're a dual-income couple or don't have kids and don't need much space. The house prices here have been driven up so much even modest houses are going to be a good chunk of your income if you're a single earning household. You pretty much have to use your RSUs to get a downpayment.
When we get more supply there will be more options. Just getting started here.
It’s not that they have a fixed price they’re not sharing with you. They want to estimate how much you’ll pay first - look at Crunchbase, etc.

I’m not saying it’s a good idea but there are plenty of smart cookies who seem to think it maximises revenue.

If you want to counteract, have a shitty little startup with no funding and ask for the quote for them.
The reasonable thing to do is to prehash the user password on the client with a Unicode normalization and a SHA-512 pass.

This way you can have strong input validation server side but also allow almost arbitrary inputs client side.

PS: you likely could also salt the client side hashing and use bcrypt, but bcrypt has a quite short maximum length and I am not sure if it would provide significantly better security here.

We had almost this exact scenario (look alike domain) play out with a customer. Their accounts payable department almost paid out half a million to a scammer. Fortunately the employee at the customer accidentally replied to our actual email address and our folks knew better and picked up the phone. The customer insisted up and down that their email system had not been compromised. It took telling their IT folks what and where to look before they finally realized they were compromised. Good IT/security teams make all the difference.

I have watched a lot of talks from the Hoover institute because I like some of the people they have on, but after awhile I noticed a certain lack of intelligence, not because they are not smart or educated, but because their ideology gets in the way Victor David Hanson is a good example.

Detroit is "motor city". It didn't fail. Everybody bought cars and moved to the suburbs. I don't know how you can blame that on the city government.

That's what I mean - they want to support their dislike if liberals by saying dumb things. Do they think we won't notice? Or is it the wealthy people who leave their money to the institute won't notice?
If you're a rideshare or cab driver and you also happen to see / recognize billboards nobody is going to hassle you for storing those in your neural net or suggest law should do so.

If you're a designer and you take "billboards or t-shirts or anything in the real world that is copyrighted" as stored in your head as the basis for something you're working on, you will need to consider ways in which your derivative work may be infringing.

Similarly, no, the space where copyright meets training data doesn't "means Waymo, Bing, Google are all illegal." Nobody is going to care if a driving or search neural net has that billboard or t-shirt data, because their function isn't to output copies or derivative works.

If the function of what you're building is to output billboards or t-shirts or anything in the real world that's copyrighted, then you may violating the spirit of copyright law whether you're wetware or using silicon. And whether or not the letter of the law has been refined carefully to apply to the issues at hand.
Broadly speaking, if something is closed source and connected, it phones home. Whether it can collect sensitive private data about the user is just a matter of when.
The sooner common users realize that, the safer they can be in the future. Unfortunately, spying on users is a well paid business, therefore even without involving 3 letter government agencies and/or conspiracy theories, we should expect every hardware/software manufacturer to attempt to profit from that, if not because pretty much everyone else in the field is doing the same already.
It’s true and part of our origin story
> I honestly can't understand why so many other hackers are happy being tethered and parent-controlled by Apple.

Obviously it varies from person to person.

Some just don't care about this at all and/or don't consider it an issue.

Some are just really used to it, or invested in the platforms, and don't want to waste time moving.

Some will just find much worse experiences for their taste anywhere else.

There are likely other personas in this story, these are just off the top of my head.
> But other than netting a hefty fee for the lawyers who bring the suit, what is the endgame, exactly?

Pay people whose works you want to extract value from, it is that easy… Unless the whole point of this "AI" bubble is to create monetary value for the companies and their shareholders without being held accountable. I do not mean that creating, configuring, tuning a model, or even compiling a massive dataset is not work, but it is the tiniest fraction of the work that went into whatever is present in the dataset.

> also, for software authors, prohibiting ML training would be antithetical to the Open Source Definition. So that probably won’t work.

A-ha, at one point I hope even AI zealots will be forced to acknowledge that the process is creating a derivative work and sure, train on my FOSS sources all you want, but the end result will need to abide by the licenses of all the sources browsed (have fun).

> As the tech industry celebrates the frothy emergence of machine learning in a time of economic doom and gloom, let’s hope this nascent field doesn’t sink because of the copyright iceberg looming ahead.

I am sorry to break this to the author, but not all fields and jobs need to exist. I have not seen much net positive from "AI" to society as a whole so far, with even less exciting things on the horizon.
Check out ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery.) It’s been around for a long time and has a great story to it.

It does not matter how good an engineer you are when you produce crap. There are great engineers working for 3 letter agencies and the result of their work is people going to jail or getting killed because they are against the official narative. See Assange for example.

Great.

One one side we have Putin who poisoned people/opposition in/on eu Land, took Crimea, plays games with France in Africa, plays other games in Africa, threatens with nuclear and apparently is so easy to manipulate through the USA to be were it currently is.

Vs.

The theory that the us secret gov (doing all of this while Obama, trump and Biden have been in power) is playing the half long game with Putin to let him do all of this by 'himself'.

I'm somehow not convinced.

And yes USA is probably pretty happy about the current situation but I don't think this is all because of USA and not Putin's little dick.
> they consume more and pay taxes, the taxes support municipal services which pay the salaries

In India, neither income taxes nor consumption taxes go to the local municipalities. This fact makes the rest of your comment meaningless although positive loops can be created in other ways.

But my original point stands: Local governments need to increase their housing taxes and provide these services

There’s a pro-Poor policy bias in places that are actually rich and these places have very different expectations.

maybe one country or another will outlaw generative ai or ai art or media synthesis or whatever it ends up being called, but presumably they'll be left behind by rapid cultural and technical development in whatever countries don't

the cat is out of the bag, the worms are out of the can, the feathers have blown away in the wind

these developments seem very likely to be central to programming, all other kinds of engineering, conceptual art, scenography, costuming, technical illustration, and pornography, within a couple of years, even if (against all odds) development on the neural nets themselves makes no further progress; they enable you to do things in minutes that previously would have taken days, things which are core parts of the feedback loop driving these disciplines

if every country in the world except thailand bans it then within ten years all your kids will be secretly watching prohibited thai movies with software secretly written in thailand on surreptitiously thai-designed computers, riding thai bicycles

even if deepfakes mean that the most significant effect of ai art is enabling massive fraud, spam, and mitm attacks, banning it locally won't stop you from falling victim to it (fraud is already illegal) but just from developing effective defenses against it
The comparison is absurd. No one would live in Detroit because it’s bleak and sprawling. San Francisco is beautiful and cosmopolitan. The trajectory of Detroit is irreversible and structural, while for San Francisco it’ll be an enduring global destination for as long as it stands. Two year blips during a pandemic aren’t sufficient to mark a trend, and SF city politics have been broken for generations.

I lived in SOMA in the 1990’s, and 5th and mission was an open air drug festival too. The tender groin was foul, and civic center was a wasteland of feces, condoms, needles, and occasionally people who died overnight and hadn’t been cleaned up yet. The streets were covered in human waste even in residential areas.

When I’ve come back to SF, it is generally a lot cleaner than it was, and has gentrified. I’ve not been back post pandemic, and I can imagine it’s reverted. But it was not possible to be worse than it was when I lived there.

Yet, people loved it there and I miss it. If it weren’t for the vacuous tech culture chasing VC and exits I might be back some day.

I'm sympathetic to the argument that there might be something unusual about the income distribution of the people who left San Francisco for various ski resort towns but pulling a very specific number like $250k out of the air is weird.

The silliest part is that it doesn't change the argument. $196k is a good income, $250k is better but not qualitatively different by any means.
It’s certainly the policies SF pursues that lead to crime/homelessness increases. While the state of CA tacks on a few more that’s harder for a mayor and council to overcome, still no excuse not to correct what they can.

The various vetoes different groups get on what someone can build on their own land is a good example a thing to get rid of. Assuming there’s any developers left at this point not friends with the gov there.
Uh, their reputation took a huge hit with the mass layoffs. If there was over-hiring, that's a reflection of the higher ups who didn't evaluate the economy, demand, etc... Yet most higher ups are still there, without any announcements that their bonuses would be retained or reduced for failure to hit their OKRs (KPIs).
The issue you describe is may be caused by the Android ROM on the phone. I've seen it work without issue on Motorola and Pixel phones, but struggle on OnePlus.
Aside: I'm a bit unclear on RV classes. Turns out that they're not arranged in strict order:

- Class A: 20'--40', largest, up to 30,000 lb GVW.

- Class B: smallest, 17'--23' with the VW Bus camper van being the original (according to the source below). Think "camper van".

- Class C: Intermediate, 20'--35' length, usually on a van chassis with an over-the-cab design (usually integrating a bed).

There's also a range of trailers and camper-shell designs.

I believe that different drivers licence certifications may be required for some classes (particularly Class A).

Regardless of the political slant of the article, I really wish the city didn't have to be such a shithole.

I'm jealous of people who moved to the bay area already with relationships because I hate hate hate the fact that my best chances to find someone are to move to SF.

It comes with all the social dynamics of being "institutionalized." All things being equal, they'd rather go on their own than be in a prison. Being in a low-trust environment is stressful in itself, and you run a good chance of having whatever possessions you carry around with you getting stolen.
I agree but the downside of a class C or B is unless you are towing a toad, anytime you want to leave your camp site, you'll need to pack up your camper, versus parking and setting up your temporary home, and being able to come and go effortlessly. It's all tradeoffs though and just depends on how you plan to use it.
This is wrong. SF's tax revenue plummets when the wealthy move.

Right. Because preventing the computer from talking to Apple where it finds out if there are updates or new malware definitions in addition to the documented thing it’s doing is a much better option than turning off the option in settings.
I'm not an expert, I don't know how the community would treat such enums. I think the bottom line is if you can't fail to shuffle the cards, whether through an interesting enums and matching mechanism or through some other part of the type system, then you're good.

I've never used idris, but as far as I understand it encoding state machines in the type system is exactly the kind of thing type-dependent languages in general and idris in particular shine at.
