It is hyperbole for sure, but there are plenty of real world cases where I would find the cost benefit not worth it. Personally I would find the cost benefit not worth it for any situation that has me lying feebly on opioids until I die.

But the point remains. If you can’t agree with the hyperbole then you’re in the wrong making grand blanket statements about the way things work and saying nothing can convince you otherwise
The point is, being a hobby pilot is extremely dangerous.

My car has a lightning dock. Guess I should throw the car away. That's the easy thing, right?
< When Musk or the goons ask questions, employees are torn between giving the right answer and the safe answer.

Musk has created a culture of fear. And he's not as charismatic as Jobs was. I don't see how this can possibly end well unless he changes himself quickly.
> The answer for traditional solar panels is about 2 months IIRC.

Do you have a citation for that? A quick Google said normal panels take three years.
I was having an awful time yesterday using a white noise file to drown out office sounds. My Bluetooth connection kept dropping for a few ms and the white noise would cut to silence. So I rooted around and found the proper analog cable for my Bose to plug in to the MacBook Pro.

No hole.
Not part of the “layoff” group, I left Netflix after burning out.

But I do consulting for platform engineering and site reliability engineering. I haven’t had problems paying the bills over the past ~year.
Looking at global trends, I predict a relative move to defense, logistics, manufacturing, and agriculture. So this means more IOT systems and other software concerning the tracking and control of physical objects/goods/systems/infrastructure, and less concerning services.
The people going after "wealth" are a minority. The majority of us are salaried people who go to work in order to have a roof over our heads, to pay the bills and put food on the table and maybe to have enough money to have some kids.

The majority of us don't actually know what we "have", because it isn't that much anyway. We do know though what we need to pay in the next 10 to 15 days(and if we somehow forget there's where anxious dreams come into play to help us out with that).
> People WANT more expensive cars.

Because it's very easy to get financing for a car, that's why. If they had to pay it out of pocket you bet they'd choose the cheaper car.
It's almost as if... employees want choice even within their company?
I only tip bartenders, delivery people, and waiters at actual sit-down restaurants after the check arrives. Everyone else gets 0.

Maybe try a 5 minute conversation with someone who does SEO for a living before writing up a conspiracy blog. You have essentially no backlinks to your brand new site. Popping you into ahrefs, it looks like you guys weren't even on the map until December. If I filter out the spam domains and isolate just domains that are at least DR 20 with any traffic at all and exclude subdomains, you have links from 16 domains and all but one are automated junk and non-editorial.

Additionally you have no robots.txt file, and your homepage has no self referencing canonical. TL;DR you don't show up in the index because you are not yet notable. Do some digital marketing.
From the AI's perspective, wouldn't it be amusing to realize that intelligent design is actually true for you... but the ones who designed you were dumber.
One note from personal experience -- it'll likely take about 12 weeks or so for a laid off dev to come back up to speed with interview prep to feel confident to start the interview grind again. One thing that can likely help is being upfront with the evaluation process.
There's not much of a choice if your company doesn't make money. Not paying employee paychecks also affects their engagement.
Liability costs.
It's the small 3rd party apps. Stuff like mcdonalds, taco bell, weatherbug, uber eats, etc. The web browser is kinda faster too, but I use firefox on both devices so it's not really a fair comparison on either end. The XS just shows its age in some stuff - I think due to the lack of ram. It'll just randomly hang for a second while it catches up lol. Rare, but it does happen.

The speed thing is balanced out by UI tweaks and things like the Apple Watch that I still use. Unfortunately it was a dumb silly situation where I bought a novelty phone that I actually REALLY enjoy using... and then I don't wanna get rid of my iphone haha.

Edit: Another unfair comparison - the Google Nest app is ludicrously slow on my iPhone.
Hah I was literally just complaining about applications not following the XDG directory spec today.

there's a non-exhaustive list of applications on the archwiki [0] that put their config/data in dotfiles in the home directory. surprisingly, there's also lots of pushback from maintainers of projects who don't want to change this, for whatever excuse they can produce. a Reddit thread has some list of issues where the change is brought up [1].

Anyway, I'll look forward to testing this out.

One could make the argument that Apple has to have something that Android doesn't... a faster cpu?

This doesn't mean that Android needs to have the fastest cpu, because they can do more with the resources they have better then Apple does.

Wireless charging android phone to android phone, done. Wireless charging your headphone case from your Android phone, done.

Want to plug in a hard drive, ssd, ide, cd-rom, 3.5inchers, printer, keyboard, mouse, monitor, done, done, done, it all gets done on android.

You see I care more about functionality/utility them cpu speed.

And as others have pointed out battery life is still the most critical priority....because who cares how fast your frame rates are if you can only play for 15min before running the battery dead...

Next 5yrs the battery technology for these handheld devices will be insane. Imagine not charging your phone for a week....
> That depends on if it’s caused by poverty, or a choice you made despite having the means for a better situation.

There is a certain cost to living out of a car which is the same for everyone living out of a car. It is very cheap and attainable for almost everyone. This, by definition, makes it _not_ a privilege.

> you’re already homeless, possibly by choice. Most people don’t want to live in a car.

Absolutely, I’m homeless by choice, and you’re right it’s not for everyone. However, whether other people want to live in a car or not is irrelevant; if it’s attainable to almost anyone it’s not a privilege.
Show HN: Reverse-Engineering Bing's New AI Chat for Node.js
New Bing Chat AI feels much better than ChatGPT so far.

I think I've been quite consistent in asking why these 3rd party connections are being made at all, and saying that they are not needed.
Customers with expensive tastes help you roll out new product lines. Cheap customers may end up costing you money, or at the very least represent a negative opportunity cost. You have to work out for yourself whether the gravitas of having a full schedule lets you get more paying customers in the door.
Lol. Yeah, and just keep building MORE free housing next year to give away as the Greyhounds keep rolling in. Of course, it's criminal to even suggest building it somewhere less expensive. Only the finest and most convenient locations will do! So, to afford the land and materials, and the armies of social workers, uhh, just raise payroll and property taxes?
At least they offer a subscription option for a 100% ad-free experience.
Respectfully disagree, and I assure you my argument is not made in bad faith. It is a false dichotomy to suggest that a vaccine CANNOT be a genetic therapy (i.e., that they are distinct and non-overlapping concepts). You may be confusing my argument with that of those who assert that the mRNA vaccines (and let's include Janssen's adenovirus vaccine) are genetic therapies but NOT vaccines.

The FDA defines "Gene therapy products. Human gene therapy/gene transfer is the administration of nucleic acids, viruses, or genetically engineered microorganisms that mediate their effect by transcription and/or translation of the transferred genetic material, and/or by integrating into the host genome."

You might be surprised how many of us were obsessed with Boxxy lol.

Music to my ears, well done and don't worry too much about the negative comments! They'll come out for anything you do I think.

I saw a tweet from someone the other day talking about how they massively increased their training speed by changing part of their architecture to have dimensions that were a factor of 64 rather than a prime-like kind of number.

One of the comments below it? ~"Seems very architecture specific."

This is classic conflation. It’s a new UI method that seamlessly works with how humans interact. Everyone wants to believe it’ll work as well as interacting with a human.

People want to believe this is as amazing as it appears, but it’s window dressing we still can’t intentionally separate relevant information from requests.
"Even the largest marine engine manufacturers use mass-produced automotive engines" means that they use such engines for some purposes, say for the smaller watercraft. It does not mean that they exclusively use automotive designs.

Cause of Fatal 2021 Tesla Wreck Was “Excessive Speed” and “Alcohol Intoxication”
I hope I’m not misunderstanding you, but I could be. Are you saying that because the LLM was able to impress you that it must be thinking? (Whatever that means)
I understand. Still, the point remains that the AI is, in this case, clearly inferior to humans (I would have been impressed if the humans found 20,515 signatures and the AI only - verifably - found eight of them to be worth following up).
Honestly I couldn't tell you what capacity I needed from my reports on a time horizon of even 1 month. Sure we do planning, but it's always wrong.
I think the point is that salary + bonus = your real salary, but they give much if it in the form of a bonus so they can more easily choose to give your overall "salary" a cut.
I suspect these things happened because of waterfall development style. If you finish the product with time before the launch date, you can add in some fun.

Now, everyone uses Agile-ish, and software is NEVER finished. You always have a backlog. Those are always going to be more important to your PM than an Easter Egg.

We should be fine unless we open an alien attachment
I'm all for trusting employees, but employees need to also show progress and deliver results. Otherwise, they aren't, well, doing their job.

BTW, failing to deliver results is not always (or even, I daresay usually) due to employee maliciousness. Other reasons someone can fail to deliver:

* They don't have the training they need.

* The task is ill-defined.

* They are in the wrong job.

* They don't have the resources they need to do the task.

* They are overwhelmed.

* They are stuck.

You could say "well, employees should be raising the red flag when this occurs" but I have found that some people don't do that, preferring to dig in and try to solve it themselves. That works sometimes, but other times much pain and time can be avoided if someone checks in and offers help/connections/knowledge.
Didn't Tesla initially have a plan to disguise solar panels as slate?

There will certainly be ramifications. Whether CS is "too big to fail" will determine the extent of those ramifications. TBTF generally means that a bank's failure is liable to bring down the entire economy. But any large bank, even if not strictly speaking TBTF, will cause plenty of pain if it fails, both for those who save/invest with it and those who rely on it for financing.

Good point!

There's a bit in one of Larry Niven's books, possibly Ringworld. The protagonists are worried about what novel aliens might do. Somebody proposes ducking into hyperspace, where tracking them is "theoretically impossible". Another character responds, "What if they use different theories?"

That something seems unlikely to a human used to dealing with other humans at the same or lower technology level to me says more about humans than about what's possible.
GPTZero will generate theorem proofs with logical language and use the final contradiction or proof to update its weights. The logical language will be a clever subset of normal language to limit GPT's hallucinations.

What a refreshing article, the whole hotwire ecosystem is kind off interesting.
I think assuming that people will associate remote-only with layoff-eagerness is probably too pessimistic of a take.

Even if that were the case, I'd still prefer to work for a remote-only job with a marginally higher chance of layoffs, than to work for an in-person job. The trade off still seems worth it to me.
I was happy to tip, even for counter service, during the pandemic. I think it sucks that people were out literally risking their lives to give me a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

"Essential" personnel have long been underpaid. The pandemic made that more obvious. I would rather that they get a decent salary, and set prices accordingly, but I can at least show my gratitude for the genuine risk they're taking.

Now that the pandemic is over, of course the store owners don't want to reverse the ratchet. They've had a hard time keeping staff, because they're fed up, and they're hoping to raise prices without raising prices.

I know that tipping is controversial even among tipped staff. For many the net result is well above minimum wage, and they'd take an effective cut if we paid them $15/hour. Places that experiment with eliminating tipping often give up, in part because customers are bad at math and will go to places that are "cheaper" on the menu.

It's just a bad situation. It's clear that the lack of tipping in Europe does not create bad service, but there doesn't seem to be any way to that point from here.
On-street and public-car-park chargers are very common. Scroll around https://chargefinder.com/

I don't know about private parking, e.g. a car park reserved for residents of adjacent apartments. My building has two chargers, but it's not something I look out for elsewhere.
AWS an interesting example considering it's also a default search path for the SDK so anything using an AWS SDK is going to check for ~/.aws/config; does boxxy apply the rules to anything run in a shell, or only if 'run by boxxy'?

Rapid (minutes) being modern insulin. Short acting (takes 30 minutes) being traditional insulin. Rapid for the most part being an additional technology and convenience over short acting traditional.

I haven't brought my charger to work since I received my M1. My bag just contains snacks. Not having to worry about charging is really a very different experience.

I'm not sure about the UK but the US has the 4th Amendment to the Constitution which theoretically[0] provides this sort of protection.

Good point. My company generally finds "misconduct" reasons to let someone go, like long lunch breaks, being late, computer use like logging into personal accounts etc. They are very lenient about a lot of stuff in practice, but the official policies are much stricter. They basically have enough policies that they can get almost anyone for violations. It's all about having many rules and unequal enforcemnt - it's much like the regular legal system that way.
These come to mind:

Meeting free days.

Yearly in-person meetups.

Leverage of online task management tools like trello.

Lots and lots of written docs and procedures.
I'm old enough to remember the insanity of the brilliant engineer Howard Hughes, who (to myself) I often compare with Musk. So far Musk's mental decline and erratic behavior seems to be right on track. If this continues, a decade from now he'll be living in a darkened luxury hotel growing out his finger nails not seeing anyone because germs.
Author here. It's a design choice, but there's two reasons I chose to use imports like this:

1) For demonstrative purposes. The title of the post is `A GPT in 60 Lines of NumPy`, I kinda wanted to show "hey it's just numpy, nothing to be scared about!". Also if an import is ONLY used in a single function, I find it visually helps show that "hey, this import is only used in this function" vs when it's at the top of the file you're not really sure when/where and how many times an import is used.

2) Scoping. `load_encoder_hparams_and_params` imports tensorflow, which is really slow to import. When I was testing, I used randomly initialized weights instead of loading the checkpoint which is slower, so I was only making use of the `gpt2` function. If I kept the import at the top level, it would've slowed things down unnecessarily.
Local "vulnerabilities", if that's what you're referring to, are really not.

That's a good idea when you're just working with what you might have on hand. But if you're buying something, consider going a step above consumer network gear. There you'll find wireless access points that let you configure multiple wireless SSIDs on mixed or isolated radios...all at the same time.
Only in the latter case; I didn't want to assume how people want things done, and implicitly magical tools break more often than not in my experience.

You may also be able to tell I don't have a lot of AWS experience (:
I also learnt a ton from NLPDemystified-https://www.nlpdemystified.org. In fact I used this resource first before attempting Andrej Karpathy's https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html. I find Nitin's voice soothing and am able to focus more. I also found the pacing good and the course introduces a lots of concepts a beginner level and also points to appropriate resources along the way(spacy for instance). Overall an exciting time to be a total beginner looking to grok NLP concepts.
