I might think this way if this was my first rodeo. When executives allocate money for hiring I assume they've put some thought into it with data outside my immediate view. You think I should be questioning executives? Most of us are out here just trying to survive and making C titles look bad in public is how you get fired immediately.
I second that. Typesense is fantastic. I used it for a job board with 3 million and it did great.
I wonder if this could be used to move the obnoxious ~/snap directory.
What he misses in this analogy is that part of what produces the "blur" is the superimposing of many relevan paragraphs found on the web into one. This mechanism can be very useful, because it could average out errors and give one a less one-sided perspective on a particular issue. It doesn't always work like this, but hopefully it will more and more. Also, even more useful is to do a cluster analysis of the existant perspectives and give a representative synthesis of each of these, along with a weight representing their popularity. So there's a lot of room for improvement, but the potential in my opinion is there.
you mean yahoo finance and yahoo sports.
A bunch of my former co-workers at MSFT are working from home 100% of the time. Maybe it is a per organization thing.
Yes, I would recommend showing two images (before/after) instead of the video.

You could do more interactive stuff, like the common interface of moving a slider on the "before" image to reveal the "after" image. And that's nice, but it should be supplemental to the two images.

But take this advice with a grain of salt - after all, the video did cause me to spend more time on your site than if two images had immediately answered the question I was curious about.
It's easy to say that it was clear in retrospect. 10 years ago I would have put ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, AlphaZero, and Boston Dynamics' dogbots in the same bin of 'plain impossible'. Now I am less sure of my predictions and thus not likely to say that some fantastical technology is plain impossible. I can see how the co-founder of Apple, a known optimist who might very reasonably have thought in 1980 that much of what we have today is 'plain impossible', and then saw it come to pass, might be willing to be optimistic about a tech CEO's claims.
> So de-rate and conservatively tune the engine to a peak HP that can be sustained indefinitely. This is SOP when putting automotive engines in industrial uses.

Those industrial uses don't crash into a random person's house if they fail, and "conservatively tune" means you've changed the engine's behavior. The FAA likes you to demonstrate safety when you change safety-critical things.

> 2000hr equates to, generously, a 150-200k service life.

At a much higher cruising RPM, which is the entire point of the article.
Hard to say. Unemployment has some weird rules which vary from state to state. I got laid off a few months after starting a new job, and since I hadn't been working there long my total pay wasn't very high, WalMart would have been as good. Fortunately I got a new job quick that time, but when you are out of work and don't have a lot of savings compared to your bills... Even if you have 6 months savings, seeing savings fall month by month while you just pay bills is demoralizing.
> It'll just go "lol I encountered 3 486 864 games with this particular board pattern and 49 652 lead to a victory lemme pick one for the lulz".

That isn't really an accurate description of how the modern DL bots work. They don't need to reference any database of past games while they play.
In my view it’s very simple, which is what makes it so exciting. Summarizing a design doc that I imagine Microsoft and google are both spending millions of dollars of manhours/day working on their versions of:

1. User enters query.

2. LLM augments query if necessary, adding extra terms or clauses.

3. Normal search pipeline returns ranked links, just like it does now.

4. LLM reads the content of the first 100 links and decides which are the best based on your stated preferences and past behavior, uses that to augment the ranking a bit.

5. LLM generates various summaries depending on the type of query, such as laying out a few common answers to a controversial political question or giving a summary of a technical Wikipedia article tailored to your expertise level in that field.

6. Finally, for a tiny subset of queries, maybe the user wants to converse with the AI in a chat-like format, where it cites all of its claims with direct links.

It’s gonna be awesome :)
Absolutely 12 hours is not enough for a lot of people

That was with a few hours of screen time - I found that it didn't matter to me because I'd just plug it in at home/work. I'd call it "servicable" but certainly not great - but for 5 years I was personally surprised.
People's tolerance varies and so do the sites they visit – and things like news sites are a lot better than they used to be before Google started more aggressively including performance in their search ranking factors.

My interest in this topic is mostly the same as the author of the post I linked, namely making sure that developers test and measure on lower-end devices to make sure they're not building sites which exclude key demographics. For example, a government site really needs to work well on the kinds of phones seniors get under the FCC Lifeline program.
There is no danger of Apple becoming a monopoly in the future AR industry. Their products will be very expensive and out of reach for the majority of worlds population. Most of those who can afford them will still prefer a more open ecosystem from the likes of Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Huawei, etc. even if their offerings are slightly less advanced.

With their A and M series SOCs Apple had an advantage in mobile, tablet, laptop, even desktop PC markets. That advantage didn't result in a monopoly. If you live in US it may look like iPhones have a monopoly in the smartphone market, but they are a lot less popular in the rest of the world.
This is often achieve by simply derating the engine. You redefine redline to be 75% of what the engine was designed to produce. Then your takeoff becomes 75% power and cruise is more like 56%.
Watching even 1 video of an everyday astronaut interview with Musk makes it completely obvious you are completely wrong. And so do tonnes of testimonials on quora from spacex employees.

Musk is the chief engineer of spacex rockets. He's not just a CEO.

Do a little research before making comments like this.
Remember this - the California insulin manufacturing program is going to turn out to be very expensive.
95. It is said that we live in a free society because we have a certain number of constitutionally guaranteed rights. But these are not as important as they seem. The degree of personal freedom that exists in a society is determined more by the economic and technological structure of the society than by its laws or its form of government. [16] Most of the Indian nations of New England were monarchies, and many of the cities of the Italian Renaissance were controlled by dictators. But in reading about these societies one gets the impression that they allowed far more personal freedom than our society does. In part this was because they lacked efficient mechanisms for enforcing the ruler's will: There were no modern, well-organized police forces, no rapid long-distance communications, no surveillance cameras, no dossiers of information about the lives of average citizens. Hence it was relatively easy to evade control.

Some people would be shocked to see who wrote that, but he had a point. It's not the humble king, it's the ineffective king that breeds freedom.
I know this probably isn't intended for performance, but it would be fun to run this in cuNumeric [1] and see how it scales.

I also did this when searching for a fast string-to-float conversion function for ClickHouse:

https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/master/src/IO/...

- we create a table, insert all four billion floats there, and check our functions with SQL queries.

Currently, the state-of-the-art library is https://github.com/lemire/fast_double_parser, but we use a slightly worse (but more performant) routine.

It is also interesting how to format floats in string in an efficient and user-friendly way.

For this problem, we switched iteratively: strtod -> Google's Double Conversion -> Ryu (patched) -> Dragonbox. Currently, we use Dragonbox.
Which is quite at odds with the mainstream dev world. Just the other day I commented on someone saying "you don't need to know any of that CS thing.. just write your async api, destruct(uring-bind) your args in your lambdas... and cash in your check" I couldn't help to feel bad from the boastful ignorance.
Assuming all hours were flown at Cessna 172 cruise speed of 140mph, that gives about 2e7 * 140 = 2.8e9, divided by 332 gives about 8.4 million miles per fatality.

Compared to 85 million miles travelled per fatality on the roads in general, and about 4 million miles travelled per fatality on motorcycles.

2X better than motorcycles, 10X worse than road fatalities in general.

And that's being quite generous about the mileage.
Or just abolish the FDA?
They're the ones keeping competitively priced insulin out of the market.

I used a similar idea the other day, while implementing in Rust the CRC algorithm that a device required, but the vendor didn't document 100% clearly.

Fortunately, I had some device vendor sample code in C (of varying quality and provenance), which I believed was probably correct, but I wasn't 100% certain which (if any) of numerous CRC standard variants it was actually implementing (so I couldn't just use an off-the-shelf Rust library).

So, the fastest/best way to get a perfectly compatible Rust implementation seemed to be:

1. Write idiomatic Rust code to try to mimic the behavior of the C code.

2. Write some C code to generate a text file of exhaustive results from the known-good C implementation, for all possible inputs up to length N.

3. Exhaustively check the Rust implementation against that text file of inputs and outputs.
You are demonstrating a lot of status-quo bias
> If the company was laying off the deadwood and the quiet quitters

That's a big if, though.

Executives doing layoffs also tend to do them quickly and plan them in secret in order to reduce the chance leaks. That means they are deciding who to cut with very limited time and information. They make lots of mistakes.

Both times I've been through large layoffs, I saw skilled respected peers get the axe while deadwood didn't. It causes the loss of valuable employees and completely destroys respect for executives who are apparently so clueless that they don't even know which of their employees are worth keeping around.
In the case of municipal broadband it mostly comes from communities that suffer form poor/no investment from the big players and is the only recourse for decent internet. It usually is faster and cheaper than existing solutions. There's clearly market failure here and players abusing their local monopolies to refrain from investing / provide decent service.
The state of telco in the US is pretty shocking, even in places like NY state.
Have you tried sending code snippets via Teams using ```-fenced code blocks?

The result looks normal. But once the recipient tries to actually use the code, it breaks horribly, because Teams has a habit of sprinkling it with non-breaking spaces.

This issue has been going on for years. I feel it makes Teams utterly unusable in software development teams.
But... Samsung just using Qualcomm chip? I mean, it's not Samsung/Apple, it's Qualcomm/Apple rivalry, isn't it?
That's incorrect. For a long time, Walmart has sold an older, human insulin. This is a relatively new product which is an analog insulin. It's the same NovoLog that's widely prescribed just with the ReliOn brand stuck on it.
There are probably categories of searches were ChatGPT will be either one par or better than Google (and if the results are on par then ChatGPT is superior because it's one less click, one less ad spammy website to visit, no hunting for what you were looking for once you get to the site, etc)

As an example, someone on HN posted a tweet of a guy who asked ChatGPT to draft a letter announcing a layoff while also announcing several executive promotions and quoting MLK Jr. Obviously, the example is facetious but the results were actually pretty good. Certainly good enough for a starting point or template for a real layoff announcement.

I'm sure this is a miniscule amount of total search volume but there are a category of searches for letter templates (think cover letters, resignation letter, etc) that ChatGPT could seriously replace today. And ChatGPT is actually better because of how specific you can get (e.g. "with an MLK quote").

I don't think LLMs are a threat to traditional search today or even in the short term but what will ChatGPT 50 (or equivalent) look like in 20 years...

If you haven't tried cuNumeric [1], you really ought to. It's a drop-in NumPy wrapper for distributed GPU acceleration. Would be interesting to see if it works for this.

Test the security of your REST OpenAPI/Swagger in 10s
Hey ya'll!

Thank you for your feedback on GraphQL.Security https://graphql.security/

Thousands of you wanted us to provide the same free tool for REST OpenAPIs.

At Escape (YC23), we strived to provide the same user experience and quality of results for REST OpenAPIs (and Swagger) as GraphQL APIs.

OpenAPI.Security is still in alpha, and we would love your feedback and ideas!

Best,

I won't be the person to deny it can be tough to deal with issues. The documentation is vast but very shallow too, so you end up having to figure stuff our yourself.
This loophole needs to be closed. Companies have the power to do harm on a large scale with bo repercussions. Fines become a cost of doing business. How is reporting incorrect data to the federal government which is used for grants not flat out fraud?
Ask HN: Infringing Patents as a Solopreneur
I'm currently developing a web app and had a thought last night that one of the pieces of functionality I created might be novel enough to be granted a patent.

This led me to searching https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/ and finding https://patents.google.com/ where I think I discovered there are existing active patents at Big Tech company(s) around the area that I'm working in.

How much should I be concerned about potentially infringing on others patents? Does anyone have any experience / war stories of how things might play out?

I realise being sued for patent infringement is one of those "good problems to have", but it is something in the back of my mind (especially knowing that patent trolls have come after some of the larger companies in my space).
Looked to me like the OP was talking more generally, about all people.

And back to developers (I am one, but not living in the US), I don't think most of them own their place of living. I know I don't, so, yes, I have to work in order to have a roof over my head.
you email your mom? why not talk over the phone? or text her?
For anybody who does not want to pay, your taxes likely already pay for a subscription you can use from your local library on the Libby app. King and Snohomish counties in Washington provide unlimited digital copies of The New Yorker and The Economist as an example.

That is an excellent idea! Something like could definitely be worth adding. It's why there's a "remount rootfs as ro" flag; that way anything not specified in rules is ro and misbehaving programs will explode.
I assumed the "annoying" part comes from telling other people to rewrite stuff in ${LANG}. While a number of projects "writte in ${LANG}" could correlate with the annoyingness as defined above, in my experience Go evangelists are more aware that their language is not end-all be-all, but is actually useful in a certain niche of IO-heavy applications, so evangelism is much less pronounced.
Here's a plot [1] of PV power, over the whole spectrum. Your envelope appears to be of high quality.

She's on regular TV now IIRC
That part made the least sense for me. Since a more advanced version of a LLM would be better at extracting the truth of things from the given data, what could it possibly gain from ingesting the output of a less precise version of itself? It couldn't ever add anything useful, almost by definition.
Sort of yes, but also no. He pays his employees with that stock, and it being higher makes that a better deal. Additionally, being valued as a growth company is much better than being a value stock.

Mind you, Im not interested in buybacks but if they paid a dividend I'd hold them till they lose their advertising business.
Musk portrays himself as many things. Free speech absolutist who's removing content about himself. Centrist who's hanging out mostly with far-right nuts. Pro environmental guy flying private jet around the world just to see the world cup. Workaholic, working every waking hour, who's constantly shitposting and often talks about games he plays. And many, many more.

If Musk says something, it's very likely that it's not true.
> My suggestion would be to wait and see.

This is what I'm going with. We use Thunderbird for work and as long they don't kill of functionality and disrupt what we're doing I don't really care what Thunderbird looks like.

I'm a little worried about a bunch of new bugs, especially ones that result in data loss though. As things change I may be pushing back on updates for a while just to make sure things are stable.

If things go bad, I'll have to look for forks or set up something else that can reasonably handle IMAP and supports MBOX

„Alec Smith, died in 2017 because he could not afford the $1,300 out-of-pocket price for his prescription once he was dropped from his parents’ health insurance when he turned 26“

What a reality. I‘m glad that I don’t have a life threatening diseases, but I would do everything that is possible to survive. Steal, rob, fraud to come at least up with the money to survive.

I‘m shocked that simply surviving a manageable sickness in a first world country is not a human right.
Fun fact, this is basically (highly likely to be) true for biological systems as well for very similar reasons. Looking at you Orwell...

edit: note that diseases have to make significant changes to jump species. The barrier for different biologies is even higher.
If reality hurt's their feelings, maybe they should change their ways.
I didn't know dan grossman was in that team. He did a nice MOOC on coursera. I wish he did one on cyclone's ideas :)

ps: were there other safe C langs ? I kinda remember another CS based C dialect (a blue themed website) that was close to cyclone but I can't remember which.

maybe E.. damn memory.

So you're equating "almost no one" to "at least 25%"?
Just FYI i can get the Oxide And Friends sessions in my podcast app (I use podcast addict on Android).
I delete a lot of email so I don't have more than a few k messages in an email account, but I have 3 of accounts setup in T-Bird and it's always been very snappy.
Someone else can tell the story better than I can, but supposedly the cost of certification of new light-aircraft models got out of control in the 1980s, which stifled product evolution, so it became more cost-effective to keep a really old plane airworthy than to scrap it and buy the latest and greatest. I do know there's been a lot of innovation in the LSA (light-sport aircraft) segment, so it does seem odd that four-seater and two-seater evolution would diverge so much.

I have a feeling I'm perpetrating a certain angle to the truth (maybe that product-liability lawyers suck). I'm just passing on what I heard -- please don't shoot the messenger. A more comprehensive retelling would be appreciated.
That's right.

The HN Community isn't.

HN isn't a coherent whole with one voice.

And, as a sibling comment pointed out, neither, typically, is any individual contributor. We can even change our opinions.
Ok, so per hour it is comparable to motorcycles. But consider also that the average private pilot only flies 100-150 hours per year.

I don't disagree that it is more dangerous than automobiles or commercial flight. But I wouldn't characterize it as "extremely dangerous." Nor would I characterize motorcycles as such.
I would argue “ability to stream a 1+ year old movie repeatedly, on demand” is part of what makes keeping your subscription worthwhile.

I think Disney intentionally took a lot of family-oriented films and kept them out of theatres during covid (reminder Encanto released in 2021) to avoid the optics of creating super spreader events where children are at the forefront. In their conference call they mention going back to theatrical releases.
People on therraced streets just park in front of their house and run a cable to charge the car.
I actually forgot to mention a very important differentiator. If you self-host N8n and you'd like to connect say your Asana or Gmail account, you have to own your own app or get an API key.

We have a cloud auth service, that even if you self-host us, you have the option to automatically connect your account with our predefine OAuth 2.0 app which makes the experience seamless if you don't want to take care of auth. We found that this is a very important feature to simplify the UX!
The American revolution was a succession, and not a revolution in the sense that it wasn't an attempt to overthrow the British crown. It turned out remarkably well compared to most others though, although I'm being noisily reminded of its shortcomings on a dreary, daily basis.

In general, meet the new boss -- same as the old boss, and for the most part, upheavals swap one ruling class for another. The children of the revolutionaries become the new privileged ruling elite. This is as inevitable as bureaucracy, regardless of whatever glowing utopian rhetoric the activists had used to mobilize the masses for the revolution.
Super interesting - I did a search on a common business name like "Dropbox" and its clear some ads show up. Wonder if there is any way to parse these out so they don't show in the results?
That would be a very costly mistake for Intel since then they couldn't cater their existing markets anymore. AMD and Nvidia are already struggling since they must share TSMC's capacity with Apple. Also, it remains to be seen whether the x86 architecture can keep ahead of ARM-based designs and maybe also RISC-V in the far future.

Apple has good designs, consistent long-term plans, and doesn't have to directly compete with Intel over domination in the x86 market. They offer a complete package outside the x86 market. This fits well with who a market leader like TSMC would want as a partner.
The point is choice. Most compagny should allow both remote and not remote
Maybe the problem is IMAP/POP3/SMTP, but I feel like email clients in general are just slow. I have time to manually open every separate email account in the browser, and have all of them ready to read, before Thunderbird (or KMail, etc.) finishes loading new emails. And I don't even have a lot of new emails every day, like 5~10, so I'm not quite sure what exactly is taking so long to sync. I can download a 500MB video in the time TB syncs a few KBs of email.

I've largely given up on desktop email clients at this point. It'd be nice to have a single place to manage emails, but the performance is too poor.
