I disagree. We are all on the same team and I view them as team members. That doesn't mean I treat them any less important. Actually I view them as more important in some cases. But internal users may be more tolerant of bugs if it means they can get features faster. Our team is a lot more understanding and accommodating and want to work with you which is a very different relationship than a customer. But maybe that is because we have built up a lot of trust over the years. Really it's up to you and your team members to decide this. Like I said, no hard and fast rules.

But it's also a failure when being slow with tech due to fear of a few bugs can hold back the entire company. Some bugs are showstoppers (bring down the system type of things). Others are very inconsequential. It's up to us as engineers to figure out how to use that context to avoid the first type, but make informed decisions about the second type. To be honest in 15 years of working with my current teams we have never had a bring the system down type of bug. It just doesn't happen.
I think you typically need to have a key only. You could get that key from their admin page, and hand it to the abstraction layer. Seems simple enough?

Not sure what you mean by impractical API. If their API is not practical, then nobody would use it, I suppose. If it is barely practical, then an abstraction layer would be a godsent.
Why most people are blind to the most important point of those models: the progress is moving at astonishing pace.

IMO it is a useless discussion to debate about the current SOTA or economics. In two years we will certainly have some breakthrough as we have been seen for the past years. And things are speeding up.

The very opposite.
To go along with this, I haven’t seen what kind of role you’re seeking.

Do you want to work at a small company, or a large one?

Do you have a specific kind of technology you’d like to work on?

And do you have a specific kind of company mission you’re seeking?

All of these can be addressed in a good cover letter. And as a hiring manager at a small business, I can tell you that although personal recommendations are great, someone who is clearly passionate about our market and who took the time to learn about our small company is equally interesting at the resume stage.

So… what are the answers to those questions above? Feel free to reach out to me privately if you’d like, too.

Maybe eventually, but there are plenty of examples of things taking quite a long time before they are economically viable.
In the long run, a model that isn’t regularly updated with new data won’t be very viable for many purposes. The (re)training cost therefore will have some relevance.
Inference costs are non-trivial, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the cost of running ChatGPT (given the 3M/day figure) has surpassed that of training it. Without optimizations, training only uses ~3 times the memory as inference, so exponential parameter/cost scaling still affects both.

There’s ongoing research to reduce the computational costs of inference, but to my knowledge they only offer linear improvements (although I wouldn’t bet against more substantial reductions in the near future, particularly as these techniques are compounded).
Not with that level of granularity. Wasm is able to run in severely constrained environments (ie microcontrollers) and non-posix OS that may not be able to support containers
> There's no way you're going to get top quality like those sites at a place like Fiverr either.

There is a grain of truth to this, but again just choose whatever lower-budget website you want. And then just try the exercise I suggested.

Midjourney isn't producing work at a "bad Fiverr" quality level, it's not producing usable work at all yet (at least without a lot of hands-on prompt tuning, at which point why not just use Fiverr?). At least with Fiverr, I am likely to end up with something I can put on the site, which is not true of Midjourney yet.

Again, in my understanding is Stripe not forcing you to—-as a EEA business——settle USD in a US domiciled account; you can settle the USD in an EEA domiciled account and not incur the cost. If you then want to repatriate the money to the US with your bank, you can do so yourself.

I also just looked it up how much this costs with my bank, and it's a minimum fee of $25 + agent/intermediary bank fees on top of it, for amounts less than $5,0000.

I assume that Stripe can negotiate better rates though, but for the sake of simple pricing, and cost-averaging over different amounts (which are, given that they serve the long tail, likely heavy weighted on smaller amounts), it is not inconceivable that this 1% is closer to cost than one might imagine.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Of course with the caveat that "work" in this context means the labour we have to do to support our way of life, not the work we do for pleasure. These do and should intersect (as much as possible).
I think some of it is just that lots of algorithmic feeds take things like view count as too strong a signal and just promote generic content that has mass appeal rather than more niche content.
> The definition of vaccine (provides immunity)

"That technical coarseness might help explain why several historical vaccines have been assumed to be sterilizing. With measles, for instance, scientists initially lacked the tests needed to show them otherwise" (from the Atlantic article)

> recession (two quarters of contraction),

"Is Recession Staring Us Down? Already Upon Us? Here’s Why It’s Hard to Say. The U.S. may register a second straight quarter of economic contraction, one benchmark of a recession. But that won’t be the last word. Most economists still don’t think the United States meets the formal definition, which is based on a broader set of indicators, including measures of income, spending and job growth." (New York Times)

> woman (female with XX chromosomes),

"Gender is a complex interaction of underlying biological difference and social norms, not a simplistic either/or" (The Atlantic)

> freedom (from doing what you want to "the ability to choose")

"Freedom Means Doing Whatever You Want?"

"Before getting to the debate, we have to mention two key ideas about what freedom means. The first is that no one has absolute freedom in the sense of having the power to disengage completely from societal norms and values. The second idea is related to the fact that freedom doesn’t just entail the choice between one action or another. It extends to thoughts and emotions as well. All of us have some freedom to choose what we think and feel. We also have to consider the responsibility that is attached to the willingness and ability to choose." https://exploringyourmind.com/freedom-mean-doing-whatever-yo...

> family (husband, wife and kids),

"What is a “family”? Statistically, it is no longer a mother, a father and their biological children living together under one roof (and certainly not with Dad going off to work and Mom staying home). Although perception and acceptance often lag behind reality, there is evidence that a new definition of family — while far from universally accepted — is emerging." (New York Times)
I dont know if it’s common in other countries, but Canadian banks offer USD denominated accounts. From the wording, it seems like only if you are paying USD into a US bank account you pay the fee. Presumably paying USD into a non US bank account (in USD) wouldn’t incur this fee. At least I’d hope so!
People here say your experience is a red flag (5 positions), but honestly I don’t think it is. That would never bother me.

I suspect what’s happening is, your resume looks great to recruiters/HR/manager, so you get the initial call(s), but somewhere through the process things get hairy. You get talking to engineers and they’re: impressed with your experience, but can’t afford you; lost by your experience because you’re talking from experience using in-house FAANG tools and processes; intimated by you; put off by some kind of interpersonal quirk like not asking enough questions or the right ones.

The tough thing about interviewing is it’s basically a tough sales call, and it’s administered to people with little sales experience. Here’s a quick tip: ask questions about what problems they’re facing right now, and tell them how you can solve those problems for them.
Somewhat related - I received what I thought was a really nice Buck Knife for Christmas from my father who is notoriously frugal.

On returning home, I am curious what my dad paid for such a nice knife so I go on Buck’s website and cannot find it nor anything with a similar shape. I look to the box for a model number, nothing. No information on the box at all other than the logo and some talk of how amazing the warranty is. I scanned the barcode on the box, no results.

Then I get curious and Google “counterfeit Buck knife” and eventually I find a Reddit thread pointing me towards an Alibaba Express listing which is my exact knife sans Buck logo on the blade.

I am really curious where my dad got the knife, but I don’t want to bring it up to him. It’s still a very nice looking and feeling knife, we’ll see how the blade holds up of course.

All this is to say that I had no idea this whole underworld of counterfeit knives existed.

> we will certainly have some breakthrough as we have been seen for the past years. And things are speeding up.

In the past years we have seen a tremendous scaling of a) workforce, b) hardware, c) data. For me a breakthrough would be on data/energy efficiency? What areas are promising there?
I don't entirely blame them for feeling as though they missed out. If you are technically inclined, those old machines were much more accessible, everything was new, and they presented meaningful ways to push the limits while working individually or with a small group of friends. In contrast, everything today is either handed to them on a silver platter or requires significant investment.

Well, almost everything. I find microcontrollers offer some of that old spirit.
The response to that argument is pretty much: "Yes, so?"

The irony is that if one truly believes that position, then it is also pointless to try and persuade people to also believe it. Because if free will does not exist, then whether or not people are going to hold criminals culpable is also pre-determined. I'm either someone who does or someone who doesn't.

Now, if you truly believe that position, then you also can't fault her for writing that piece. Because she was going to do that regardless. She didn't have the choice to not. And it could convince people. Because they were going to be convinced by that argument the minute they came across it.

It's turtles all the way down. If free will doesn't exist, nothing actually changes. Because we can't choose to defy our inclinations.

So that piece is either written by someone stupid or someone who thinks other people are stupid.

Someone moderately intelligent can reason to the turtles and realize that you can't really change people if that were the case. Enough people in the right places just can't be convinced and your work is in vain.

So this has to be someone who either doesn't see the full implications of their position. Or doesn't expect anyone else to see it. The first is ignorance. The second is hubris.
Netherlands to integrate last brigade into German army this year
I worked in a hat factory as a summer HS/college break job. I stood at the end of a table and inspected the initial wool cut outs that would eventually be formed into the hats. The hats would go through a machine that sprayed them with god knows what chemicals, someone would capture them out of the machine and place them on the table, while the rest of us at the station would turn them inside out and hold them up to the light to look for flaws (thin spots).

I would look at the clock every 45 minutes to see that only 10 minutes had passed.

I was one of the lucky ones though because every hour or so, I got to move to another station to hang newly-formed hats from another station on a drying rack that would take them to the next floor.
Nope. Totally different case based on a totally different set of circumstances and outcomes.

This is a great example of coming to a conclusion about copyright based on how you think the system should work vs how it actually works.

Google was able to convince the court their actions constituted fair use.

My guess is training a generative AI will also be fair use. The question is, what about the output of the resulting model? And that is a question it'll take a court to answer.

Not anymore (in Europe at least) from the article.
The existence of a norm does not imply that it is good (see: racism), and not all norms are enshrined in law.

To me, the issue is not that norms don't or shouldn't exist, but how the parent comment uses norms that are currently at the forefront of social controversy and rapid change with a subtle implication that breaking these norms is worthy of judgement, and an explanation for larger transgressions.

Having views about sex and drugs that break from societal trends is not an indicator that someone is more or less likely to behave as if norms don't exist at all. Most people who practice ENM are fully aware of the delta between societal attitudes and members of that community, and have no illusions about how society will perceive them. They just don't care, and they don't have to, because they're free to pursue relationships with whom they please.

Believing all norms are arbitrary seems more like a product of privilege leading to an unbalanced and limited understanding of the world than a product of any of the individual factors mentioned by the parent.

> We routinely see 4-5% creamed off the top of wire transfers we receive from the US through exchange rate variations, random bank fees, etc.

Hmm, I'm in the UK, and the variance in currerncy exchange we see is usually 2.4% in the bank's favour, usually with an additional fixed fee of £20. 5% sounds like madness!

For EU bank transfers, it's more like a 2% exchange variance, with zero fixed fee... so Stripe is now looking expensive, at least for our UK and EU payments :(

Show HN: We built a developer-first open-source Zapier alternative
For the past few months we’ve been building Trigger.dev and can now share our beta with you: https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev. Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code. You write workflows using our SDK, and can view all the runs in our web app.

Why we built this:

- We found current workflow / automation tools like Zapier and n8n are good for simple tasks, but not for more advanced use cases.

- Dropping down into code in these tools is just not a great experience. We prefer using our own IDEs, version control, and having access to GitHub Copilot etc.

- Sometimes, a workflow requires us to query a database or handle some sensitive information. It would be great if this data wasn’t sent to a third party.

Our beta version lets you:

- Trigger workflows from webhooks, custom events or schedules (CRON)

- Use API integrations with Slack, GitHub, Shopify and Resend. We’re adding more of these each week.

- Add delays of up to 1 year. Workflows will resume where they left off, even if your server has gone down.

- Support for Fetch and subscribing to generic webhooks.

- Observe every workflow run in the app (great for debugging).

- Open source MIT license so anyone can self-host the platform.

We’re still early so would love your feedback and opinions. Feel free to try us out for free – and if you want a specific API integrated, just let us know.

Main website: https://trigger.dev

I’ve increasingly been thinking of this similarly to technical debt where city planners made decisions for a long time which weren’t inherently bad but made things less robust against a shock. Having your downtown focused on, say, financial companies is great (tons of taxes, minimal pollution, etc.) until the office workers can stay home and there’s nobody else filling in their shopping or dining.

Cities have many innate advantages so long-term I’m not expecting disaster but it’s happening almost everywhere at the same time, and we have a bigger problem looming in climate change. That’s going to be more permanently disruptive but it’ll work in favor of cities’ lower environmental footprint if the leaders don’t screw up the transition.
This is easily automated using Ombi and the other tools folks have mentioned in other comments.
I always wonder how a talking head video can be more accessible than a text.

A video dictates its consumption pace (to a degree), it can't be easily quoted, it requires both your eyes and ears.

I understand podcasts: they are for people who want to listen to something while driving. But you can't watch a video while driving.

Possibly a video of a talking head is more convincing and engaging if you are a great stage performer, and radiate emotion like a text cannot.

Possibly a video that turns an essay into a clip / movie with visuals conveying the point additionally to the text would be even.more convincing, but producing such a video is incomparably more work than writing a text, even if some magical AI produces any visuals you ask it for. It's just a much harder composition task, a symphony versus a single-voice melody.

Charles de Gaulle. Apparently there was a proposal to share nuclear weapons between France, Germany and Italy, but according to the Charles de Gaulle government "atomic weapons should never be shared with others" (https://www.openstarts.units.it/bitstream/10077/15330/1/Nucl...).

De Gaulle wanted sovereign control of any French nuclear deterrent and did not trust that, if it came to it, the US would put itself on the line for Europe: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_139272.htm - presumably, for similar reasons he did not want any dependence on allies, even ones closer in location and likely part of the same conflict.

The US did actually help the French nuclear programme once it started going, under the reasoning that multiple nuclear-armed NATO members is better than one.

So the legal thinking I have been reading is around the reproduction of copyrighted works.

However to get to a point where you _can_ recreate copyrighted works implies copyright infringement in the dataset. Thats not really been tackled.

Also, there is the GDPR angle here as well, collecting people's faces on the internet for something other than the person reasonably intended is also on grey legal ground I would argue.
