Oh I know for sure, it's still just amusing to me to look up these just slightly older cards and see them going for so little compared to what they were new;

I do also look at various benchmarks and comparisons over and over because I would like to build a home gpu server for some machine learning fun and I find it interesting that the TFLOPS/$ numbers always come out very much linear... A card that gives 2x performance costs 2x more.... if cards depreciate 50%, it's because new cards have been launched that have double performance for the same price... etc... Even simpler, the CUDA cores-per-dollar is pretty much a constant.

What isn't taken into account there is various optimizations new cards have that speed up training or inference, like better use of the tensor cores. At some point incompatibility with newer CUDA compute levels makes the older cards much less useable.
You're missing my point. A robot can afford to wait and get it right because it has no concept of self preservation. The operator giving the kill/no-kill can afford to wait and get it right because they're not in immediate danger.

How would a stressed human in mortal danger be preferable here?

> - Iosevka Term

Iosevka comes with about a million different variations (and you can build custom variations by building the font from source). From the screenshot, it looks like the author was using the light weight; I almost always use medium. Similarly, if you don't like serifs, you can turn them off; I use the "hooky" variant which adds loopy tails to some letters.
The first sentence:

>It’s well-established consensus that software is slower and more bloated than it was 20, 40 years ago.

That's an absurdly ridiculous statement presented as fact with no citations
I use Raycast for the same, but does that do multiple calculations? Ie. 184 + 64 then multiplied by 4, etc.

You can do it all as one big expression with parentheses and such but if you're doing a bunch of calculations on the go that could get repetitive, and one wrong Esc and your calculation goes away.

Language is malleable and dynamic. Words and phrases originating in one place are often conscripted to do extra duty someplace else. There is nothing inappropriate about that. It is a Thing That Happens.

However, in this case the thing I described really is survivorship bias in the original sense of the word. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

"Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on entities that passed a selection process while overlooking those that did not. This can lead to incorrect conclusions because of incomplete data."

In this case, the selection process is not getting laid off.

Biggest thing that was wrong with Stadia - over promising. Like 4k@60Hz over internet is too bold and maybe doable from within Google Offices or Bay Area and that isn't a market enough.

Could go a guaranteed consistent and stable 720p@60Hz with a YouTube kind of Ad revenue model. You play, you watch the ads every X Minutes and revenue streams shared with developers.

Indie developer's heaven it could be.

You don't want ads? As subscription model could be the way. Best would have been to pick up tons of past titles BioShock, Mafia etc by being the goto place for recent retro games and gradually gaining traction in triple AAA segment.

I've recently tried an Amazon Fresh store for the first time and it was very simple (I already have the Amazon app and I am a Prime member who buys a lot from them) and worked really well.

If that's the future then bring it on.
100% this!

The Google engineering underlying Stadia is impressive and there's still so much possible value. But Google management launched Stadia in such a way to minimize all of the benefits of online play, and maximize all of its shortcomings. And then price it in such a way to provide value to the smallest possible number of customers.

No amount of engineering talent can overcome a management that's dedicated to self-sabotage.

More and more, this is starting to look like a major f#ck-up by Norfolk Southern.

Given the geographical extent of the derailment's impact (well over 100+ miles, encompassing Pittsburgh and surrounding areas), it's not hard to imagine how it will lead to the kind of class-action lawsuit that can hobble or even bankrupt the entire company.

Ugly, ugly, ugly.
I think I would do this by default because I'm so ignorant/incompetent with the fancier tools that I'd never think to look for a cropper. I'm the cretin that says, "Oh I can do this in MS Paint!" and even spends a 1/2 hour remembering how to do that much...
Microsoft has proven skills in building/launching/supporting products, and clear capabilities to cater things into the enterprise/B2B market, including customer support for all levels.

Google lacks all of this, and all their successful products the last decade were from acquisitions or leftovers from the 20% creative time era.

Now Microsoft integrates an already loved tool (that is known to have these flaws!) into their products, and is celebrated to do so.

While google somehow tries to keep the image of technical superiority up, failing to launch something again. Probably some combination of Schadenfreude and/or sincere hope of a new technical era and/or the hope that ultimately the "be evil" company falls down and makes room for innovation instead of trying monopolize the web.
How is it not relevant? Growing electricity production by very large relative amounts in short periods of time has historical precedence if even greater relative and faster growth, and I would consider that pretty relevant when discussing such things.

AKA last week? Bizarre way to try and make it seem like it happened longer ago than it actually did
> Ten years ago, maybe. If you did it during the last decade, your search was probably served by a natural language parser which would serve up the answer from a facts database before searching the web. Just checked, and for me it says "Illinois / Capital: Springfield" with big bold betters, and below that are suggestions for picture searches for Illinois, and even further below that is the web search results of which Wikipedia is indeed the first.

Yes, and for anything that's more complicated than literally a lookup in a very common table ("list of US state capitals"), it's very common for Google to return Instant Answers that are either nonsensical or literally incorrect.

I've had Google tell me that ninjas are Portuguese, that the park is closed today because of rain (it is sunny and the "rain" refers to a day over three years ago), and other stuff which sounds correct, and is presented as correct information, but objectively is not.
Other than having type annotations, in what way is this nicer?

Interesting...I remember MS Word 5.1 on Mac being slow and crashing so often I was saving a new document every minute or so. Word Perfect (on the same mac) was stable and fast. But feature-wise both were complete for me - then and today I guess.

Google has shown they can build amazing AI that can play chess and go, nice … then what? They built borg and gave k8s to the world and then what? OpenAI took the stage on ChatGPT and AWS dominates the cloud.

This goes back to way promotions are handled: clearly people are incentivized to build stuff but no one cares if that would have any path to profitability.

Does the world really need fucsia? ChromeOS?

A business needs both and needs to incentivize innovation along with long term commitment.

It's also why things in aviation are so fixed and difficult to change. Not having any new civil aviation planes for 30 years worked... how about 40, 50? When will it break? Well, when someone develops an easy to build, easy to fly, inexpensive experimental craft and zillions of people do it all at once (hasn't happened yet).

One of the more interesting things I've found is that a huge number (easily a majority) of instructors are recently trained flyers, because there is a pipeline to train them and they're cheaper than using experienced pilots (esp for multi-engine and more complex airplanes). They also know all the ins-outs of the training and rule books (with recent changes) so they know how to pass all the tests and how to teach that. Sooooo you have a bunch of inexperienced pilots teaching all the new pilots... there's likely a failure there, but it hasn't reared its head. We still have a lot of ex-military folks around who didn't learn that way.

Who do you want flying when things go bad? People who have spent many hours with things about to go bad (military, emergency/fire, sail plane pilots) who have experience dealing with it. Those people can also be fun/terrifying to fly with, because they will take risks.
On the topic of big companies making strategic errors, it's not entirely unthinkable that if AI generates a lot of hype, Google would throw away its market-dominating search engine and replace it with some AI chatbot-thing without market dominance.

It could very well be that even a small chance of this happening can cause Microsoft to go all in on making Bing more AI. Being very expensive is the point.

And for a dark mode:

javascript:(function(){ var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body"); var html = document.getElementsByTagName("html"); var img = document.getElementsByTagName("img"); body[0].style.background = "#131313"; body[0].style.opacity = "1.0"; html[0].style.filter = "brightness(115%) contrast(95%) invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg)"; img[0].style.filter = "contrast(95%) invert(1)"; })();
I eventually found results by adding forum to the search.

But even if there weren't any good results, which I know there are because someone somewhere has asked for a wiring diagram of the tail lights many times, and someone out there has access to a diagram (usually a mechanic).

But regardless of results or not, Google serving 20+ pure spam and malware results less technical users might fall for is insane IMO.
Well, they think they will be paid 10 times more now that they can produce bullshit 10x faster ... in reality, they will be fired.

I could not agree more. I feel like perhaps so many people here are CEOs themselves, or perhaps plan to be, or envision a day where they may be in a similar situation and therein lies some bias but I mean come on… sure, it is a “vacation” by technical standards. But it could not be more tone deaf. None of these CEOs care or value the peons that work for them. And if you delude yourself into believing they somehow do (or you yourself are one of these CEOs in question) then you lack empathy my friend. Ra ra corporatism is a plague and should be called out. He couldn’t wait a few months after things settled down? He ran, like a coward, call a spade a spade.
I think the charging network is going to prove to be the iMessage of Tesla. By keeping it closed, they will be selling many more cars. In Europe where they had to use the standard port and open the network, there will be much stiffer competition.

Right, but I think that buying an ad for a competitor's product would generally be a fairly low-value opportunity (if you're searching "Rav4" you'd most likely be looking to click on a site related to a Rav4), particularly if ads are clearly demarcated.

But, because ads now look organic, there's an increased chance that someone will click on it, so because of that UI change on Google's part, people now have to spend more on ads.
It's the plot of quite a few animes. At least a few episodes of Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell SAC. Although in these cases it's AI controlled tanks or mechs.
I’ve been through a couple of those. I’ve never been asked language specific questions. Most FAANG code interviews don’t care much about which language you choose. I’ve also not seen them care if you use OO or don’t. Either way works - as long as your algorithm is good.

In short this is irrelevant for those interviews. It’s definitely relevant if you do python as a day job.
I'm pretty sure you're exaggerating quite a bit.

Anyone can watch this video [1] to see how long it actually took to boot up or launch Word. But bootup seems to take 20 seconds, and launching Word took 7 seconds. Which roughly matches my memory.

So about an order of magnitude slower than you're describing. (The SE/30 had a clock speed twice that of the SE, but launching things is mostly bound by the hard drive speed.)

Other things like saving a 3-line Word document took 6 seconds. Quitting Word took 6 seconds. Basically, everything was pretty slow back then.

In contrast, I just tried launching Word on my M1 MacBook, and it took about three quarters of a second. While saving a file is simply instantaneous, as is quitting. And launching Photoshop takes 7 seconds.

Edit: here's another video [2] opening Photoshop 2 which takes a full 28 seconds.

At this point, we don't know how useful it will turn out to be. While we are trading anecdotes, here's mine. I asked chatGPT who the Exec team of a medium sized company I knew, was. It confidently stated seven names. Turns out three of them it categorized under a different title and another three never even worked at the company! I would hardly call this a bootstrappble result.

In your example, if I told that at random about 30% of the results were made up, you would not consider that a time saver. In fact it would be total time waster since you would have to vet every single entry. People think since 70% is accurate, only 30% work is needed but not if you don't know which 30% is bogus. You would need to check the entire work using conventional means including perhaps a 'regular' search engine.
I mean the open world design philosophy in Elden Ring is not too dissimilar to Morrowind's and it was a massive hit. What really needs updating is the combat system, it wasn't great when the game came out and it aged horribly.

Probably a controversial opinion, but I would like `self` removed, and have the class body be an init function. Something like:

```

dataclass NormalizedPoint(x: float, y: float):

_norm = math.sqrt(x\*2 + y\*2)
x /= _norm
y /= _norm

def __add__(other: NormalizedPoint):
return NormalizedPoint(x + other.x, y + other.y)

```

In other words, I would really like some construct which sticks as close as possible to a normal function, but that also returns a (typed) object with everything in its scope.

Looks interesting, is it really 100% anonymous and private for the customer? Can any merchant from any country register to receive money as long as they follow tax law from their own country, or is it subject to sanctions and things like that? Could be a nice method to reach countries like Syria now that they are suffering after the earthquake but many populations aren't allowed to help them because of sanctions.
This is an absolutely reasonable take. The thing is, this is just a divergence in values. Rust isn’t willing to accept the overheads of that style of concurrency, and is willing to trade off on the “harder to learn but with less overhead” side of this spectrum.
I agree with you that saying it's unusable is ridiculous but I HAVE noticed a marked decline in results. I still get what I need 98% of the time, but now that 2% has gone from no results to having to figure out how to force Google to search for what I want. I'll search for a phrase and frequently it'll flat out ignore a word I entered, so I'll put it in quotes, and it STILL ignores it. Then I'll result to an entire phrase in quotes and I just get trash results. I feel like advanced search features have been nerfed for some reason.
The difference between having, say, C++ code where the variable names are scrambled versus having assembly seems vastly different to me. And that parallel seems 100% accurate here. JS may be minified but you still are reading the cide that was written, where-as no one seriously authors wasm; it's a lower level (virtual) machine.

And it's worse. Because wasm is a separate process, so now there's multiple things to debug & learn. Tools like wasm-bindgen generate complex glue code to bridge wasm and the host/js side. The wasm-verse brings a ton of new challenges to legibility.

Learning minified bundled js codebases can be daunting at first, but it's ultimately js, most often built with normal-ish stacks, and the code usually shows it's nature pretty quickly after setting some DOM event breakpoints. It's nowhere near the joy of view source, but it's not bad.

Notably Chrome m111 just turned on pretty printing by default, so the first couple milliseconds of opening the debugger should be significantly less overwhelming. You used to have to know to press the prettify button.

Right, the quick answer is that wages have to go up, but then that causes more inflation. So the real answer is that the tax system needs to be overhauled to redistribute such that economic disparities are reduced for the first time in multiple generations.

But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Not sure how this ends.
The big problem is context. If someone is looking for a new car showing competitors offerings is really just classic advertising. If they're not they're probably looking for info about the car they own and it's mostly dead ad spend other than generic brand awareness.

Ask HN: Is Kubernetes Operator the new database stored procedures?
I love the idea of using Kubernetes operators to create and manage a project's infrastructure. Like the PostgreSQL operator or some examples of API gateway operators.
But something tells me that this can be a problem. Like in the past, when we used to store logic inside databases, using triggers and stored procedures. And now we know this kind of architecture can lead to problems related to performance, scale, and vendor lock-in.

I know that Kubernetes isn't attached to a single vendor, as we can use it without AWS, Google, or other dependencies. But can we be repeating some error from our past broadly using Operators?
My point is more that you used the word "devastating" when there's nothing negative happening to Tesla in that situation
