Hardly. It's just a particular mechanism to print more money that got created inadvertently . A really silly and dumb route to that, but no different in effect. That it's no different from printing more money to pay the debt is part of why it's unlikely to avoid a credit scare.
It is stable diffusion but yes my fork does not have the memory optimizations needed to run it on only 4gb
I suspect that the main problem with these systems is that Google doesn't know how it will affect Google revenue, i.e. if there's a possibility of destroying a lot of revenue without replacing it with larger revenue. I.e. it's what's known as an innovator's dilemma.
When I needed a plumber I reached out to a bunch of buddies to see who they use.

I got quotes from three of their recommendations and ended up using the one a buddy found on the back of a church bulletin. Guy was amazing - a one man shop - super professional, fair price, quality work and replacement parts. Done in less than 1 hour. It's great to have a trustworthy plumber.
I agree - I think the existing big tech firms will "own the means of production" with AI, which currently depend on expensive hardware infrastructure.

What remains to be seen is which disruption happens through the use of AI, which seems much more up for grabs.
Which article is this?
government debt is not in any way similar to individuals or families who have credit cards or college loans to pay off. for one thing, governments don't actually "die of old age":

> While a household has a finite lifespan, a government has an indefinite planning horizon. So, while a household must eventually retire its debt, a government can, in principle, refinance (or roll over) its debt indefinitely.

Ask HN: Best Layman's Book on Electricity
I'm looking for a book that will explain how electricity and electronics work to a level that will be useful day to day. Concepts like how the grid works, how electricity does work, what different electrical components do and how they do them.

Something not requiring multivariable calculus.

I recently read "Immune!" by Phillip Detmer about the human immune system. Is there anything at a similar level to that that you would recommend?
And then there's Latinx. Latinx isn't even pronounceable in Spanish or Portuguese.

They are just trying to hire less programmers, because programmers are expensive. They will have even more business / system analysts than before. And they will still have to have programmers to piece stuff together and debug systems. They just think if they could have less programmers they would save money.
It is not rare. One of the most popular gems - nokogiri (in the top 10 typically https://rubygems.org/releases/popular) has C extension.

Nokogiri was historically a bit difficult to install but that was because of dependencies and not packaging. To overcome that limitation, nokogiri now has prebuilt binaries for most platforms.

Packaging in ruby using bundler is amazing. It also evolved naturally. In the beginning there was only `gem install`. Then came `bundler` with package list and lock files. It had widespread adoption and now it is shipped with ruby.
Clean interface. Interesting approach. The demo account helps alot for a quick experimentation. Just the dark mode already makes this 10 times better than trello for me. Had a little bug when entering the settings screen where everything suddenly switched to russian.

That’s not relevant to this discussion. Congress already authorized the spending in question. The debt limit is about whether we’ll pay the bills we already promised to pay (the sane position), or instead behave like Trump or Elon Musk stiffing their contractors (which would be very, very bad when it’s the USA government doing it).

If you want to limit spending, you have to do it at appropriations time, which is when Congress decides what to spend money on. That’s when you can sanely have the “should we spend all the money we don’t have” argument.

Do note that Reagan spent money “we didn’t have” like it was going out of style. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, left office with a surplus, promptly squandered by George W. Bush, whose hole we are still digging out of. Trump made this a lot worse, of course, because that’s all he’s capable of doing with any situation.
I knew this was coming. GTA V is the game that finally caused me to quit PC online gaming entirely some years ago, and purchase a game console instead. I had to relearn everything, because I grew up on mouse/keyboard control and had never used a console controller before. (It's not that difficult, really.) The move was worth it. The amount of headaches caused by cheaters and hackers in PC gaming just isn't worth the time, money, aggravation and risk. User-created game mods aren't worth it. Building a faster rig than everyone else is interesting, but in the end wasn't worth it. My life is much easier & simpler now.
> So... If it's so revolutionary, why can't I get it to solve level 1 advent of code problems?

Indeed. I yearn for a time when I just got to pump out code. Actually writing code in quantity hasn't been a part of my job for years. Figuring out what to do is more of the job than how.

I have no doubt that machines can write a lot of the boilerplate code going forward. But that's just the evolution of tools. Actually building systems; composing them and keeping them running... this is a whole other art.

When I read Google lays off 6% of workforce I thought they just fired the lowest bucket in the most recent performance review. Maybe they fired also those who submitted it after a deadline?

I’m not particularly upset, and I don’t necessarily disagree with the rest of your comment.

My comment was more related to the fact that in my experience there are quite a number of people who have no qualms about suggesting that black people are over represented in sports like running and sprinting, professional basketball, and professional football because they are just naturally better athletes, but then will absolutely refuse to even entertain the possibility that some other races or ethnic groups might be naturally better in other fields like science and engineering. I find that sort of thinking rather inconsistent, so I was mostly just probing to see what the person I was replying to believed.

Of course this sort of discussion is going to be controversial since suggesting that a certain ethnic group is naturally better than other ethnic groups in some sense, even if only in certain areas, would seem to fit the traditional definition of racism.

I feel that in the short run, all programmers will simply become more productive. But in the medium and long run, the narrow SE roles will become obsolete: Such as any SE role where there’s a “certification process”, eg: Cloud (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes), iOS, Android, even CCNA, etc.

A generalist SE (side note: like how I assume HN’s readership bends towards) will be the one to benefit, as a good generalist SE can have networking understanding (CCNA), Ops/DevOps (cloud), and SE (backend, frontend, mobile) and more (at embedded programming is where the line could be drawn, but ChatGPT is good at explaining hardware concepts too!), to thrive and depend on ChatGPT or equivalent system for discernible assistance.

I'm also not sure what's up with the difference between 50 and 75cm. But being able to see some features that are less than 50cm wide is what you should actually expect, even though it is a bit counterintuitive. Think of it like this: each pixel is the average color of a 50x50cm square. Now a square of black asphalt will have a very dark average. But square of asphalt with a 10cm wide white line running through it will be about 10/50 = 20% lighter. Easily enough to be visible. And many road markings are wider than that.

It's typically fine - AWS bills by GB/s (in ms), not by number of functions in an account.

There are limits to the number of functions per account, and number of resources per CloudFormation stack (etc); but within those parameters it's usually a good idea to use one function for a specific controller or action. This allows you to limit IAM permissions, configure memory/CPU, and define associated resources at a per-controller level.
Well presumably it will get better, and it will get better at an accelerating rate.
Irrelevant question to the article really. The thing about the debt limit is that it doesn’t actually limit how much congress tells the executive to spend. So Congress on one hand says to the executive “you are only allowed to have this much debt” and on the other hand says “you must spend this much money on all of your programs, which will cause the treasury to surpass that debt limit”. Congress giving the executive contradictory demands is what causes the executive to have to look for work arounds to spend the money it is legally mandated to spend (every time the debt limit gets too close, the treasury has to start using increasingly complicated legislative gimmicks to keep the lights on while waiting for congress to get its ass in gear).

So…irrespective of whether you think we should have less debt, the debt limit is a pointless exercise. If congress wants the government to spend less money, congress should decrease the budget and remove laws that require spending. The debt limit just forces the executive branch to choose which way it would prefer to disobey congress.

I watched a documentary on police in Texas and apparently there you can get serious jail time even if just "caught" in a traffic stop with what I consider small amounts of relatively harmless drugs like marijuana. Saw them arrest a teenager and the cops said she was going to jail. Absolute unjustifiable madness, there must be so many lives that have been ruined over this. Really broke my heart watching this and the police have no sympathy, they treated the kid like she's some dangerous criminal.

It's hard to understand how a nation can pride itself in being the 'land of the free' while having such dystopian law enforcement. They apparently pick you up and drive you home if you're underage and out too late as well. Kids can shoot guns but they basically control every other aspect of your life. And you better not get into an argument with them or you may be assaulted, it's like dealing with the Sturmabteilung.

I'm guessing it also helps keep deploys small (atomic?) when a controller method changes. The unmodified lambdas stay untouched.
Wow! Thanks for sharing all these.
To point 3, a friend of mine uses one of his client's addresses (with consent) as his GMB location. I'm assuming anyone who knows property owners would easily be able to convince most of them for a small monthly fee to use their address for this purpose.

That being said, it's very fragile. The above friend was very well reviewed (300+ >4.5 stars) and popular in his market. He told me recently Google suspended him and it destroyed his business for a bit. Not sure if he's back up but he seems to be doing better now.

Yup. They both have social and game/physical aspects but each excels at the opposite. It's interesting to compare the Among Us and Fall Guys implementations in each.

Am I the only one who is kinda irritated with how AWS has effectively created a piecemeal proprietary operating system and slowly started displacing good server ops? All while "supporting" open-source development.

I really don't want to be an AWS engineer. I like being able to host my own tools when I want.

Sorry for the rant, serverless stuff in general is cool.

As a followup... I'm curious if anyone can recommend solid opensource serverless runtime projects with decent management interfaces (CLIs are nice)? It would be neat if projects like Ruby on Jets could become "lambda-agnostic" for lack of a better tagline, if they're not already.
Watching Films While Face-Blind
Python has its warts and this one of them, but I think people embellish how bad it is. Perhaps the reason why there isn't a singular packaging solution like other languages is because most Python users get along just fine with the alternatives that exist.
I believe `count` will only give you the number of non-null rows, so the numbers from the first command could differ by column if there were null values. You can also use the `size` command to get the total number of rows, and that will return a `pd.Series` with or without a column specifier.

T-Mobile’s $150M Security Plan Isn’t Cutting It
If there are US fabs, and China invades Taiwan then Taiwanese fabs are destroyed, and China loses access to advanced chips, but the US and the west do not. This puts China at a major disadvantage compared to the US, for at least a few decades in the future, if it decides to invade Taiwan.

It seems unlikely that US and west would get involved in a direct major military conflict with China, no matter what. The costs are too great. It is far more likely that they would only provide military equipment and intelligence (like Ukraine).

So this move of TSMC actually strengthens the shield a lot more than it weakens the spear.
Has anyone investigated what latency is like? Looks amazing for a low cost deployment, but I’d guess there could be significant startup latency for each controller.

What a fascinating read. Thanks for sharing. I can't help but think of Motel of the Mysteries whenever reading about archaeology.
I agree. I think we are getting close to where a machine can do "programming" but it will be a while before a machine can do "software engineering".

I.e. maybe you will be able to use AI to solve a problem, like "write a lambda to to accept JSON in this format and put it in a database with this scema", or even potentially "optimize this function to run as fast as possible on a multi-core processor", but it seems we're quite far from something like "write an application with a GUI that looks like this which has the following functions".
