"When I was a Salesforce developer, I frequently worked with small internal teams within larger organizations. Since traditional AI solutions require large amounts of data and specialized infrastructure to function properly, utilizing AI capabilities was something that a small compliance department or customer service team wouldn’t even consider.

Now with services such as Cohere, you can fine-tune pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) and use Patterns to provide easy-to-configure data orchestration with no infrastructure required. No matter what budget or available resources, small teams no longer need to be left behind in the AI revolution and can take advantage of these powerful tools to improve their operations and decision-making.

In this article, I’ll explain how to quickly set up a Salesforce Case classifier using an LLM such as GPT-3. While this is a common use case for AI within Salesforce, this example can be applied to other AI solutions as well."
It’s the inventors dilemma: do they embrace new products outside of their historical core cash cow, or do they stick with the cash cow? Search and ads are where the history is, but empowering a million different ai powered products via an api is the future. While empowering ai products for third parties is a boon for the cloud business, running those api’s has a business model akin to “trading time for money” rather than directly getting a cut of revenue.

It seems less sexy to be a commodity provider of AI rather than the one that makes the products and getting a direct share of revenue rather than a share of cost. But I have heard that during the gold rush it was better to be a tool and infrastructure seller than to be a prospector.
Yes you are right, I did mean that :)
Huh, interesting. Whenever I tried this I just felt anxious and retreated into my phone.

I suppose it depends on the type of work though. I could see this working well for the more mindless, grindier tasks, but this seems kind of awful for a task that requires some concentrated thought and creativity.
I think the difference might be that to leverage the Netflix through T-Mobile you have to actively sign up for Netflix or switch to T-Mobile being the payment processor. Where as with the AT&T/HBOMax deal, you just login to HBOMax with your AT&T credential.

Interestingly, we're not on Magenta but one of the earlier plans so the OnUs benefit is for the HD teir of Netflix. As I said above, T-Mobile becomes the payment processor on the account so when I upgraded to 4K my T-Mobile bill went up a couple bucks to account for the difference.
From an individual perspective, we've really valued Google's SRE whitepapers in interrupts and incident handling. The key message is that setting up your team to enable bundling 'jumping on things' and also 'focus delivery work' makes both people happier and more productive than asking two people to do both. https://sre.google/sre-book/dealing-with-interrupts/

From a PM perspective, that also lets management pre-allocate capacity for the sprint. '2 people on prod support, and 3 people on development/project work' is a decision that can be made and pointed back to. And being allocated to 'jumping on things' means you don't have to justify your productivity/velocity/ticket count beyond responsiveness and issue cycle time.
though swissmicro adds huge value to these calculators, the buttons are sub-par.
> It is: using Flakes you're thrusted into a more pure evaluation mode by default, and it creates a (standard) artifact of the revision you're on: the flake.lock.

Can you name a specific example of the kind of nondeterminism/nonreproducibility I risk by simply pinning Nixpkgs itself (or to be more principled, using Niv)?

Haha thank you.

I confess, I take childlike delight in every hotreload on save. Had it not worked well enough, I'd have stuck with hugo at the cost of a jankier authoring + build pipeline (org --ox-hugo--> markdown --hugo--> html).
We're a search startup from Amsterdam focused on Artificial Intelligence and we've just released a bunch of features that use OpenAI's GPT: asking questions about papers, answer questions in batch, explain concepts and label clusters in a semantic map. Try it out and let us know what you think!
There are plenty of people in the US that will agree that the current federal government is almost entirely illegitimate. That majority of things our government currently does are not powers granted to it in the Constitution.

There is a massive corrupting temptation of corporate money for all members of congress. We might elect somebody that we believe will represent us but ultimately they are swooned by the siren song of fat sacks of cash. However, I think more often than not, the people that get elected spent the most money on their campaign. The majority of money spent of campaigns comes from contributions that we are supposed to believe don't buy influence.

Whatever you feel about Matt Gaetz, his interview with Tim Pool illustrates the corporate influence issue we are up against.

Good point, though I cannot not mention that you seem to have reinvented (a portion of) Magit, only with a worse UI... ;-)
Wilderness backpacking/camping trips are a great use case for (laminated) paper maps. You really need a good map, and you don't want to be dependent on an electronic device that has many failure modes (e.g. running out of power, getting wet, getting dropped into a canyon, getting smashed...).
You are still missing the point.

A free, quality product is great. We all benefit from that.

The concern is the last "extinguish" part at the end.

But there is no reason for Microsoft to shut down GitHub, or VSCode or whatever.

Consumers just get to have a great free product.

The US government has actually done similar things before, such as poisoning bootlegged alcohol with methanol. It's good that you bring it up because at some point somebody in power will.
Opioid overdoses are typically due to overestimation of one's tolerance or underestimation of the strength of the drug being taken, and what you are responding to is a way that a weakened fentanyl effect could lead to that.
I can tell you that I do all three. My daily driver is a laptop running NixOS with a highly customised desktop environment. I also have a small VPS that running NixOS that I communicate with via SSH. Finally, as work, we use a nix flake to simplify our build system. Most days of the year, that is handled entirely by the CI script and I don't have to think about it.
So... TempleOS?
There are uncountably many (countably) infinite collections of symbols from within a countably infinite set of possible symbols.

The set of finite subsets of a countably infinite set, is countably infinite.

There is a computable bijection between the set of natural numbers and the set of finite sequences of natural numbers.
Crossway does publish the ESV with apocrypha. I think there must be a Reader's Edition with them somewhere.

Laser cutting brownies is probably fine. That said, there's plenty of evidence that fumes from cooking can negatively affect indoor air quality. You should always open a window when you cook.

Ford, whose electrical engineers couldn’t solve some problems they were having with a gigantic generator, called Steinmetz in to the plant. Upon arriving, Steinmetz rejected all assistance and asked only for a notebook, pencil and cot. According to Scott, Steinmetz listened to the generator and scribbled computations on the notepad for two straight days and nights. On the second night, he asked for a ladder, climbed up the generator and made a chalk mark on its side. Then he told Ford’s skeptical engineers to remove a plate at the mark and replace sixteen windings from the field coil. They did, and the generator performed to perfection.

Henry Ford was thrilled until he got an invoice from General Electric in the amount of $10,000. Ford acknowledged Steinmetz’s success but balked at the figure. He asked for an itemized bill.

Steinmetz, Scott wrote, responded personally to Ford’s request with the following:

Making chalk mark on generator $1.

Knowing where to make mark $9,999.

Ford paid the bill.
When you're going to spend maybe a few thousand dollars to travel someplace (especially cities or other popular mainstream areas), not spending $15 or so on a Lonely Planet/Rough Guide/etc. seems like false economy. Is it definitive? No. But it's generally a well-curated guide to what people like.
This technology is powerful and disruptive enough to merit social oversight. We get caught up in the wonder of the novel mechanisms and philosophical wanderings, whereas those who have the means to field this technology are effectively creating facts on the ground as we muse about it.

As just one dimension, let's briefly review education limited to testing. Options here range from (paid) cooperation between institutions and companies, to marketplaces for detection technology and testing systems, to complete rethink of testing at the institutional level, to regulatory intervention.

The dynamics and outcomes resulting from considering the above before or after widely available and improving LLMs are a fact of life, are possibly very different. We haven't yet crossed the Rubicon here and not sitting as captive spectators in a theater of ultra rich remains an option.

Some problems Nix solves, as concisely as possible:

- dependency conflicts
- build reproducibility
- configuration management
- configuration drift
- package management on restricted systems (i.e., installing stuff when you're not root)
- shared library duplication
- inconsistent state/broken system after a botched upgrade

This makes it nice for setting up development environments, building containers, and deploying servers.

(A lot of people also enjoy using it for their dotfiles, since it works on macOS as well as across all Linuxes. I personally love it on desktops and development workstations as well.)
It takes effort to discuss things with people who don't already agree with you.
A total non-story. If someone wants to wear a wet suit, let them. Those who choose to go without one, can go without one. Those who don't have all the right to shame those who do, but those who wear them have the same right to ignore the haters, because at the end of the day it's a fucking wet suit.

People seem to suffer from some sort of amnesia when it comes to the choices of others, and that "what works for me might not work for someone else, and since I'm not perfect, aggressively making fun of someone for what they wear while swimming is totally fucking immature".
Commerce on The Internet is being slowly ruined by minor fiefdoms who have strong opinions about how everyone else should behave. Like NY trying to tax out of state remote workers. What a nightmare.

The set of all sets of natural numbers is uncountable, but the set of all finite sets of natural numbers, is countable.
That’s not entirely true. Disney+ is partially losing money because of “transfer payments”. Disney+ has to “pay” Disney studios the market rate for the right to stream a movie. Of course the money mostly flows up to Disney. But from an accounting standpoint, Disney+ can’t say it’s profitable by getting movies for free from Disney studios and cause Disney studios to lose potential profits they could have made elsewhere.

There are also revenue share agreements that are involved with actors. That are still taken into accounts

> You can’t have enough new content every month, subscribers therefore don’t keep the subscription year round

That’s not strictly true either for kids content. You can keep recycling content to kids for years and kids will rewatch the same thing.

Disney has been making money off the same animated content for over half a century. To a first approximation, no one cares about Netflix’s back catalog.
I much prefer https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subrepo
I mean their best bet seems to be to license it out to other companies but that would defeat the purpose of having D+ in the first place.

Seems they've backed themselves into a corner
We just sort of came off a pandemic into what seems like another pandemic.
Years ago we joked that someday there would be a service like that, and they would call it "cable".
This is all anti chinese BS. There is nothing specific to tiktok and applies to every social network
Two readings:

* Netflix Culture (originated and articulated by Reed): latest version at jobs.netflix.com/culture

* No Rules Rules (book he co-wrote). In essence it is about how the aspirational / North Star culture maps to the day to day experiences of people who work there
In theories those movies should make most of their money back in the movies. Otherwise the finances don't work out.
Like Charles Proteus who sent Henry Ford a bill for $10,000 for drawing a circle on a generator with chalk, it was $1 to draw the circle and $9,999 to know where to draw it.

Is Easy Money an Engine of Inequality?
The current crop of transcription apps are truly awful. Trying yours now!

One suggestion -- the trial is difficult to use if I have a long file, because it won't let me select a file that is longer than 5 min. Maybe let me pick a longer file but only transcribe the first 5 minutes? Most people aren't going to edit their files to accommodate your trial mode.
I've setup pytorch with CUDA on nix and it was quite straightforward, but never tried anything more exotic.
Conference booth presence can be an enormous time and resource cost. Giving talks is far better marketing.

As an interesting side note, though, software (AI?) has definitely introduced a new dynamic to professional chess, and has very recently caused a lot of controversy (when used for cheating).
I wonder why that is since they are both basically using gpt3 as base.
A 50mm f/1.8 (or f/1.4 if you have a bit more money) is a beautiful lens to work with. On a full 35mm frame, it provides a normal field of view which approximately matches the field you see (kind of, we've got two eyes and so more of a panoramic view, but unless you're pulling out an xpan ( https://www.hasselblad.com/about/history/xpan/ ) it isn't something that you can capture - still catches the part that you see looking forward).

And it doesn't have any weird perspective issues with flattening on long lenses or the exaggerated perspective of things closer.

It's just the right lens for so many situations. Light enough to handhold without any issue. Fast enough to get a nice shallow depth of field.

As an aside, if you are looking at primes, a 35mm f/2 is a good "I want something wider" and the 85mm f/1.8 is a very nice "I want something longer" while not being ungainly or slow.
A number which is hard to define and impossible to measure should not be treated as a fact.
I want crypto to die in a fire. It is 100% a Ponzi scheme with no real world use case. If there was a use, we would have seen something useful come out of the Etherium project by now — other than a demonstration that majority group consensus can rewrite an “immutable” ledger.
Ask HN: Which of your projects took off without marketing effort?
I wanna see if such project types have anything in common.
I guess great minds think alike but fools rarely differ. I posted a link to the story you copied just below you, lol.
That's why it's so surprising imo. Disney+ has a very wide and deep catalog of pre-existing IP, and I would have imagined that most subscribers care more about that than any future original production. So it's weird to see them invest so much in new content, more so than competitors that have a much weaker, smaller catalog. Especially when the content is made exclusively for Disney+.

But I'm almost certainly completely wrong, and I'm sure they have tons of data justifying their investment in new content. I guess I'm biaised since I pay for Disney+ so that my little sister can use it, and original shows weren't important to my decision to subscribe at all.
If managed well, you can ride this "golden monkey" to heaven. So is the case of TSMC with Apple.
Common sense is the least common of the senses.
Why do you think that mass broad spectrum layoffs are random holes? From what I've seen they follow exactly the structure you're describing - there's a company-wide search for projects that aren't pulling their weight, those projects are shut down, and the employees whose roles no longer make sense without the projects that will be shut down get laid off.

> would you suggest saving data storage costs by deleting 6% of files? would you suggest reducing compute by turning off 6% of jobs?

I would, and I've seen mandates like this achieve good results multiple times in my career. It's very rare to have a team that can't make do with 94% of their data storage footprint, but it's very common to have a team who would find it temporarily inconvenient or would rather prioritize other work over reducing it.
The last state machine I was involved with had to do with possible conditions when registering vehicles. What must be done if it was reported stolen (by NCIS) was coded in laws and regulations. What has to happen if the customer decides not to register it after all. Or they call up and go "hey! where's my title?" There were all sorts of edge cases that had to be unambiguously defined and documented. 99% of registrations followed the "happy path", but that last little bit caused all of the trouble. The printed version was an 11x17" flowchart with the "happy path" taking up less than 1/4 of it.
I'm convinced that what killed Google+ was their slow rollout, which was an absolutely bone-headed move that I'm really surprised a company like Google would make.

Google+ was a social network. For a social network to have any value, you need your friends to be on it as well. By making it invite-only and throttling how many people could join, they guaranteed that most of your friends weren't there and COULDN'T be there. There were so many memes being made of Google+ being described as this amazing party you got invited to, only to get there and find there's nobody there.

GMail being invite-only at first wasn't a problem because using GMail didn't require everybody you sent/received e-mails to/from to be on GMail as well.
I'm remodeling my place right now. You're totally right, the building codes are a lot more complex and there is more 'work' to do as a result. No more just hiding electrical boxes in the walls. Heh.

That said, the products being used have improved a lot. Things like PEX tubing for plumbing (instead of copper) and glue on walls for showers (over doing tile work), make some aspects go a lot faster.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention vinyl plank flooring... omg, so easy and the results look and function great.

Your own link contains an education-level chart, too, which was the topic. You're the one claiming rich and educated are the same thing, not GP.
Thanks a million for this comment! It has made me realize that I have to go the extra mile to win user trust.

A periodical automated e-mail export makes a lot of sense and seems like the most inclusive of options. Again, many thanks for thinking along.

Edit: and thanks for noticing the loading speed! I’ve really focused on this. So many web apps are bloated nowadays. Timeretain is about 165KB g-zipped. Still on the heavy side, but it’ll do for now.
Fumes from many cooking processes are also pretty bad for respiratory health.
I have no idea how much it affects the data used to make that calculation, nor how much is its relevance in the US, but here (EU, Italy) besides the building code improvements there has been a very noticeable increase in amount/complexity of electric and hydraulic/heating/conditioning installments.
I don't know what Whisper.com is but it doesn't seem related to this project.
And companies that do that will soon realize that cutting off the three states with the highest concentration of qualified tech workers isn't a winning strategy.
I think I don't dream so much of a computer. Modern machines are pretty dreamy,to be honest.

Sure, I wax mystical of the old days, but I also know how absolutely constricting those old days were in terms of capability that I just take completely for granted today. My iMac at home has 72GB of RAM, TBs of storage, most, though not all SSD. It has a screen comparable to a drive in theater.

I have Time Machine to keep me out of trouble. Dropbox to squirrel things away off my machine. I have BackBlaze to save me from a utter catastrophe. Both require pretty much zero thought or maintenance.

I have amazing facilities at my fingertips. The idea that I have something as extraordinary as Postgres sitting idle in the background just waiting for a muse to strike me is amazing. I come from a time when having access to an SQL DB was a Big Deal.

I still yell at it. It still gasps and wheezes at times. I think the I/O subsystem on the Mac has more interactive impact than it should. The machine beachballs when an external drive wakes up.

C'est la vie.

What I would like, is connectivity. That is, I have "good" residential internet. Solid download bandwidth, "good enough" upload bandwidth.

But it's just a consumer. I don't have a passion for having an actual presence "on the information superhighway", but, like having Postgres just sitting there idle, I'd like to be able to have the whimsy to do so.

I could just get a VPS, or whatever. Which really brings up the salient point.

Exposing a machine to the wild, wild, net is "dangerous". Not to be done blindly or casually. I wish that weren't the case.

As Sun Microsystems used to say: "The network is the computer". But the network is dangerous. My dream computer would be able to live in a safer place.
> Computer scientist don't accept noncomputable objects.

People who study computability certainly do, and I would think they count as computer scientists.
For power systems, I like Blume's "Electric Power System Basics For the Nonelectrical Professional". It does a good job of introducing all the parts of the distribution/transmission/generation system.
It's not just about that. Perhaps there are benefits in having control of the company that make the shares more valuable than just the profit would make it out to be. Perhaps there's prestige in owning these shares.
> form tech worker-owned co-ops to capture the value that they generated rather than let is slip by.

Lawyers have it good. They’re the smart ones. They made it illegal to own a law firm unless you’re a lawyer. Because “shareholders vs clients would be a conflict of interest”. No more so than other industries!

Bridge designer or aerospace engineers vs shareholders seems an even greater conflict of interest than lawyers. Engineers should create the same arrangements for their own work. Instead of trying to be a “staff” engineer at a big tech company you’d try to be a partner at a tech firm…
I think I agree it would be worse, though not without advantages. It’s really hard in the normal economy to work out how much a subunit of a company is contributing to the overall success and it can be hard to contain the urge to exaggerate. I think this is why big companies grow inefficiencies and at least with many small companies the individual parts could compete and occasionally fail.
