Baby steps... maybe start with dual booting, or a VM, over time you get more and more comfortable as you find the bits you need on Linux or whatever.

You will probably never find a replacement for everything, but eventually you get to a threshold where the "Apple Hates Me" vibes > "Not quite everything I want", then you have somewhere to go when you flip the table... You will probably still hate it initially, but the nice thing is that you can work on it, making it into what you want, and unlike with Apple or MS you can make progress... it will stay how you put it, because the authors of the software are not working against you. i.e it gets more comfortable over time, and less of a battle over time.

Admittedly how easy this is, is highly subjective, e.g if you are a media person then it's going to be painful whatever platform you head to (although I hear audio and video editing alternatives are getting better).

Big Pharma also pays billions in taxes to fund agencies like the NIH. While there are certainly a lot of shenanigans with intellectual property rights and market exclusivity at the end of the day we do get extreme value from pharmaceutical companies. If there was more competition, we would not see price hikes as often as we do.
Show HN: Call my AI co-founder on the phone
I wanted to spitball ideas in the middle of the night, and have no co-founder... sooo I built Wanna.Chat

I call it on the phone, and it can play any role I want: devil's advocate, encourager, or just sounding board.

It is super interesting and fun to play with, so here it is so you can talk to it.

There's something different about using voice to talk to it as opposed to texting.

If it doesn't respond that means the server is overloaded, and I'll try to prop it up!
It was the reason I went to study AI (at possibly the worst time, in the 90s winter); I was very young when I first played it and obsessed with the large amounts of text it came up with under different circumstances. I found out how it all worked and programmed a bunch of adventures soon after, but the magic feeling that computers can make up human text stayed with me. Didn’t touch AI after until gpt2 came out.
> I’ve always poo-pood the idea of test-driven development (TDD), as it seems wild to me to write a test for something that you don’t know what it needs to do yet

Right. If you don't know what it needs to do, why in the HECK would you be writing any code at this point??

If you're just hacking / prototyping, there's no conceivable reason to involve tests.
In the post I mentioned organic from Farmy. But even Naturaplan chicken breasts from the Coop are close to 60CHF/kg:

You need a lake to fill the artificial reservoir. Pumping water over long distances is prohibitively expensive. You also need a lower reservoir, otherwise how do you refill the upper reservoir once it's been drained? Its more than just a hill.

Numerous storage technologies are proposed. And you're just assuming that one of the proposed solutions will work.
> [...] and also, for software authors, prohibiting ML training would be antithetical to the Open Source Definition. So that probably won’t work.

Of course. As an author of OSS, I'm more than happy to let your AI "learn" from my code as long as the trained model is released under a GPL compatible license.
Is it just me or is the "very high res" sample less detailled than the preview on the map ?
Maybe it's just my understanding, but I interpret the phrase "invented their suffering" to be the dismissive.

As does assuming privilege with zero to no supporting information.

Maybe I missed the mark entirely. What point were you trying to convey?
Trying to legislate model training is impossible and stupid. At worst some copyright holders will sue a company because a model is biased and produces close-enough replicas of something under copyright. Model builders will respond by penalizing models that reproduce copyright images too closely, and better curating data sets to avoid bias, at which point the issue will be moot.
I spend $900 a month on an anti-seizure drug. At least, until I hit my $6,500 deductible.

The company that makes it is publicly traded so I looked up their financials. The drug is a generic and the patent expired decades ago. Very little is spent on “R&D”. Almost all of their money goes to “advertising”.
I really want Tesla to release a large vehicle platform that I could use as a motorhome. FSD/Autopilot for long roadtrips is an indescribably game changer.

I recently got an ICE motorhome for long cross country trips and will be no longer taking my Model Y around the country. I'm going to miss the Autopilot quite a bit.
That makes sense, but it also seems like a “the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems” sort of situation.

I agree, that's why I don't buy them. All of my computers are 9+ years old and run fully up to date Linux or Windows.
A lot of Google Maps "satellite" imagery is actually aerial imagery, not satellite. Getting that kind of detail and resolution with satellite photos is extremely hard / expensive.

If you want up to date imagery, you could certainly choose to task an airplane yourself, but that is going to cost a lot more than what SkyFi is charging for one-off satellite images.

So, no, the free “preview” is not better than the paid thing, and the reason they're using Google Maps is clearly to help you precisely mark the area that you want them to capture.
we are STARTING with satellite imagery. drones, airplanes, stratospheric balloons are all in our partnerships. also partnering with analytic companies.
Can you elaborate on what you'd like to see?
That's what I am saying. Stop doing that. Train co-pilot, or whatever, to follow the terms of the license.

I don’t either. But somehow TDD is considered the sanctioned way to work with unit tests, and that it is almost pointless to write tests unless you’re doing TDD. I am relieved to read that I am not the only one.
Yea, a lot of my friends live in the same housing and for the same reasons, but I find many of them move out once they make enough money for typical housing.

Well, if you copied a famous piece of art from memory... That'd be a copyright violation.
Apparently AI already passes US medical exams. I guess it deserves to be beaten into the ground by estabilished copyright behemoths and lawyers.

Or maybe, get this, how about people running AI only feed them information that they legally have the right to use? How is it a bad thing that somebody can't legally steal other peoples' work without their permission because of pesky copyright?
I don't think more government regulation for such a specific reason is a good idea. Just don't buy their products.

That's like trying to convince someone to buy a fairphone and telling them that if the phone is lacking in some area, they can contribute to the design.

Yes. Unless, of course somebody is pointing a gun to their heads and forcing them, like the US government was already caught doing to other companies.
According to the video, their system produces higher static pressure. This means that you can install better filters for air input/output on the laptop.
Because it is very hard to fire someone underperforming. You need to hire people to get stuff done. To fire people, you either need to build 1 year of paper trail or wait for the next signs of recession.

The pyramids don’t seem to have been built that shape “just cause”. It appears there’s a huge amount of electromagnetic energy being focused underneath due to its shape[0]

Attributing motive is a careful game, but so is dismissing this as “happenstance”.

I concede though that there surely are parts that seem to just not hold water in our framework of thinking. But perspective, reality, and such are not straightforward. Hence why we need a vast amount of statistics just to say something was caused by a separate action.

I just don’t buy into the idea that we as a civilization have the furthest progress of human knowledge. Many fields we do, but there have been many periods in history where books, scrolls, etc were lost or destroyed. Library of Alexandria for one.

I was not able to find a way to see (prior to purchase) the age of the stock image (is that info on the site?). Also if you order a new image how do you know it will be taken when no clouds (or is that just obvious they only take when not obstructed (and by how much)?
I find that in the design phase, copying is useful because it’s easier to intuit what you don’t like than what you do like.

But it’s even more important to do a second round of critically asking yourself, “do we REALLY need this”?

Just because you copy Amazon doesn’t mean you have engineering resources like Amazon :)
For reference, see another post in my history. The cheapest imported chicken breast you can buy from a typical supermarket is around 10-15 CHF/kg. The high-end organic is around 50-60 CHF/kg which is high welfare from Switzerland. So you can certainly eat meat on a budget, but the good local stuff is priced accordingly.
Presumably this takes into account things like the CAP Theorem (when part of the network fails, you have to choose just one of either Consistency or Avalability). [0]

They have never published any data. Also, those number are also obviously misleading. Comparing my 2008 extended van I bought for $5k to a luxury vehicle is obviously pointless and useless

"Beyond Tabula Rasa: Reincarnating Reinforcement Learning" https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/11/beyond-tabula-rasa-reincar... :

> Furthermore, the inefficiency of tabula rasa RL research can exclude many researchers from tackling computationally-demanding problems. For example, the quintessential benchmark of training a deep RL agent on 50+ Atari 2600 games in ALE for 200M frames (the standard protocol) requires 1,000+ GPU days. As deep RL moves towards more complex and challenging problems, the computational barrier to entry in RL research will likely become even higher.

> To address the inefficiencies of tabula rasa RL, we present “Reincarnating Reinforcement Learning: Reusing Prior Computation To Accelerate Progress” at NeurIPS 2022. Here, we propose an alternative approach to RL research, where prior computational work, such as learned models, policies, logged data, etc., is reused or transferred between design iterations of an RL agent or from one agent to another. While some sub-areas of RL leverage prior computation, most RL agents are still largely trained from scratch. Until now, there has been no broader effort to leverage prior computational work for the training workflow in RL research. We have also released our code and trained agents to enable researchers to build on this work.

Feed-Forward with Prompt Engineering is like RL; which prompt elements should remain given objective or subjective error?
It "prompts" you to think about the API is probably a better way of putting it. That prompt is helpful.

Sounds similar to, for instance, songs written by people who have heard other songs. I wouldn’t expect legal cases concerning AI-generated works to be any simpler than legal cases concerning the difference between a songwriter violating the IP of another songwriter or simply being inspired by another song.

I do not see much space for misunderstanding: which relevant box takes instances of input data to output one of them?

Edit:

Make your point explicit, sniper... You can hide in front of the ### consuetude of "silent disagreement", but it remains violently annoying. The article contains "nuances" like "derivative work", but the poster is objecting to the article calling «neural networks» not «copies», as «compressed lossy copies», and I retorted that so is everything you learn, and holding them in the "corpus" is not considered "retaining a copy". If you have objections to that, either you present them, or there is no contribution in shaking your invisible head.

This is the sad reality. Doctors, hospitals, and healthcare admin. staff consume the fat of healthcare market failure. But nobody wants to blame them -- they like their doctor; being a doctor is hard, so if you are a doctor you deserve a Ferrari.

Comparing a satellite/plane photo to a drone is apples to
oranges.

There’s no way to scale a business in providing global drone level coverage.

Now there are services that fly planes with high res imagery that can get down to ~20cm. And even these business are super difficult to scale.
When in fact the opposite should be true. How can I as a company maximize my value to you. This is the type of companies I choose to partner with.

I learned something like "agile" from two guys that had worked with Ward Cunningham. That was useful; but it was also useful that they moved on after they'd trained the team.

It sounds nuts to have an Agile job-family; I don't even know what that means. But hiring an Agile consultant for a few months can be transformative.

[Edit] I think it's worth noting that neither of these two guys functioned as a "scrummaster" - they sometimes ran the scrum, sometimes it was other people. Even I did it once. They both coded, and paired with roughly eveyone. They were both rather heavy, for my taste, but I learned a huge amount from them.
Many languages have ergonomic features that aren’t truly necessary but are worth having.

I recognize you prefer smaller languages but I’d like to make a case for guards usefulness.

Guard is great because it’s a combined early return and assignment. Imho if you have a language with optionals, it’s a required pattern to have, or you end up with lots of conditional unwraps and nested blocks, or lots of placeholder variables that you might accidentally use in your code later causing safety or memory access issues .

Take the following code

if let foo = Some(optional) {yourLogicHere} else {return}

That’s one level of nesting.

Swift is nice enough to elide the Some matching so you’d just have

if let foo = optional {yourLogicHere} else {return}

Still one level of nesting but a little cleaner.

Now if you have a language based around safety, like Rust or Swift, a lot of functions return optionals. So you’ll keep nesting code in your checks for safety

Now take a guard.

guard let foo = optional else { return }

yourLogicHere

That’s one level of unnesting removed , and that compounds.

Better yet, you can chain them

guard let foo = optional, let spam = foo.lookup() else {return}

The equivalent in C like languages would be

type foo;
if (!getOptional(&foo) return;

Now either you early return in the case of the optional failing or you nest. Nesting gets repetitive and deep.

Or you unnest like I have and have that foo sticking around un-initialized, potentially causing issues of use later.

Guard simultaneously removes both conundrums and makes your code both neater and safer.
With the lightning, you are dealing with having to worry about charging and range. Towing, as has been noted across a few of the automotive periodicals, be it a lightweight trailer or not, also impacts range.

I have a class-b sprinter RV (4x4). It wasn't cheap and diesel isn't particularly cheap either. However, I can camp a number of places that would be next to impossible with the setup you mention. I will grant you, some of the places I am thinking aren't the ones you would be taking a winnebego...

On another note, RV parks, which you would probably be camping at in order to have access to a power outlet, have extremely varying quality of their 30 and 50amp outlets.
I miss the days when you could install most things via apt-get and thus have security updates automated, documentation in a standard location, and so on.

It's very hard to achieve even 2:1 real contrast ratios with color LCDs, because "white" light passing through color filters loses 80-90% of visible luminance (eg each green filter only covers ~30% of the area and passes <50% of lambertian daylight). This means the reflections off the front of the screen need to be less than 5-10% of ambient light. It's even worse for anything other than white or for specular light. Almost all LCDs are made trans-flective for this reason.

If you went with B/W LCDs you can improve this by ~3x and might achieve 5:1 contrast with good antireflective surfaces. That's what you see in car LCDs.

1. My guess is the same as yours - it’s to avoid suspicion. And maybe creating new accounts is easy enough that there’s no reason to over-use one account.

2. Yes, I imagine this is either to avoid suspicion or because the person writing/pasting this comment wasn’t paying attention and chose the wrong rating. Even fake reviews will have an error rate above 0 :-)

3. I was curious about that too. Another possibility is that the service really does suck, that’s reflected in the old negative comments, and eventually these businesses resorted to paying for reviews. All guesses though.
Story points in my experience almost always devolve into time estimates, but I don't agree they have to be the same thing (which is how I interpret your use of "representative"). They are related variables in the same way that temperature and pressure are related, but that doesn't mean they are identical.

In a healthy environment, I think "story points" (horrendous name) should approximate "engineering complexity given the current state, skill set, and knowledge of the development team." Time estimates should then be derived from that number based on historical performance of the team in its current state (if you fuck with the team structure, all bets are off and historical data becomes less useful).

Ideally a team should use points to do thoughtful analysis of their backlog and think of ways to manipulate scope, invest in cleaning up technical debt, and learn new skills to cheapen the engineering complexity and in turn deliver faster. In practice, what you described is almost always what happens. Stakeholders keep pressing for time estimates, so shit just keeps getting added to the backlog and engineers estimate "how long?" because they are neither encouraged nor empowered to think of it any other way.
I think this is the better question, given that the current major use of AI is to launder copyright away from the work of mostly independent artists.
