For young, single heterosexual men; cultivate deep platonic friendships with women.

Get a hobby, do charity work, find something where you meet and become good friends with multiple women of different ages and backgrounds. Do not ever attempt to date any of these women.

Why? Because most men know woefully few women, and your life will be much richer. A lot of men know very little about the experiences, fears, and hopes of women.

Be there for them. Ask them for advice. Ask them for feedback on your appearance and your personality. Tell them your hopes and fears, and listen to their feedback.

You'll become a much better partner because of it, and your romantic relationships will be far more satisfying.

I've not actually heard of any private individual in the UK getting un-banked.

On the other hand, I do assume there's a need to prove one's identity and if that fails an account may be closed, and identity can be too expensive for some people. Not sure how to resolve that.

Even on a fairly old one (my "home server laptop" is 8 years old) it's really close in terms of power usage. And the laptop is much faster than the Raspberry and usually comes with fast SSD storage built in.
From a girlfriend who was my intellectually superior (which I had a hard time dealing with)

You are responsible for your actions - no one else. "But I did it because...". No. You chose to do it. You are responsible.

Other people are responsible for their actions. Not you.

She was/is right.
When there's too much mail for a truck, the priority goes on first, the regular waits for the next truckload to come around. (In theory, anyway)

When the sorting center gets its truckload, the bins of priority mail get sorted first, and are on their way before the regular mail. Again, in theory.

In the USA, its worth pinning a postmaster down about just what exactly "postal insurance" covers. The summary is that they don't have to pay out for anything.
>He said "if someone asks you to do something, especially in a social situation, tell them you will think about it". It prevents you from saying yes under pressure.

This is actually extremely obnoxious behavior and a big reason I stopped speaking to my mother. If the answer is "no" say "no." Only say "I'll think about it" if you really intend on thinking about it with a plan on when you'll get back to that person. OR the person you're talking to is a salesperson who is someone you will literally never see again.

If you have trouble saying no, then it's best to work on THAT.

We've spent years building tools that generate sequences with probable statistical distributions, but none of them ever developed anything that vaguely resembled a "world model" before. I think it might be useful to disambiguate these transformer models from previous statistical text generators, in the same way it's useful to disambiguate a human brain from a calculator (even if they're both trained to perform arithmetic.)
> I've found that most desktop PC-s have idle power usage around 35-50W.

My desktop server uses 50W at idle. ASRock Z390 motherboard, Pentium G5400, 32GB RAM, no GPU. There are 15HDDs, but 50W is with all of them spun down. It hits 120W will all disks spun up and CPU under load. I've come to the conclusion it's the motherboard, because the parts individually shouldn't draw that much power.

Another out of topic - I keep seeing your comments and in a comment about two years ago you said your profile had a link to your research. I looked at your profile to find out a bit about the things you are working on, but since then you've edited your profile. Any chance you could add a link/links again for a day or two?

Thanks!

Billions of parameters and a loose contextual narrative that keeps it mostly on the rails.

There isn’t a clean corpus and no means of making one without horrendous amounts of additional bias, so they decided to FAFO.
You really need to search international listings, not local ones, if you are going to be an international arms dealer.

Although I would personally recommend that you start as a local arms dealer, then work your way up to interstate arms dealer, and then finally international arms dealer. It takes a while to learn to master all the paperwork involved just within the US. Dealing with importing arms to other countries, VAT, bribes, etc. gets overwhelming fast!
Hmm. I also have a 16GB SanDisk Ultra made in China like the old one. I don't remember exactly when I bought it but it was several years ago. Mine shows up with a usable size of 14.77 GB (30965760 blocks) from the same f3probe command the article runs. Testing my terrible no name 16GB stick shows 14.65GB usable.

This is a good way of putting it.

Pounds in your bank aren't "digital currency" in this sense. They're privately provide bank IOUs. You still need cash to avoid using a bank.

With digital pounds, you can "stuff cash under your mattress" and use it without a bank. Iirc, the central bank keeps an anonymous ledger that you have "digital access" to.

You can use an intermediary, eg., a bank, to keep track of the transaction and prevent deannonymisation by the central bank. Though i think you can also completely avoid that too.
I’m minded of the Futurama quote:

”Banks are places people store money that’s not properly invested.”

When I looked at the BOE paper last year the figure mooted was two to three thousand - which would seem the much more natural figure for CBDC transactions.
> Evolutionary biology strives to make us logical creatures to fulfill the singular goal of passing on genetic material.

There is no evidence that "evolutionary biology" has any goals whatsoever, nor that it "strives" to do anything.

This is an anthropomorphism.
They have the legal obligation to have those double/triple redundant systems in their aircraft. Otherwise it is probable they would not have as many safety systems.
I for one think it's absolutely hilarious. We're spending billions of dollars to automate internet trolling.

Of course, we hope that automated high-quality trolling is the first step to useful AI, which is probably true and thus worth the investment. Furthermore, the many possible ways this technology is going to be abused are quite concerning. But this initial phase, just at this very moment, I find extremely entertaining.

This really just seems to boil down to a state-provided bank account rather than anything more meaningful, which is not necessarily a bad thing but is unnecessary given there is already a competitive market for bank accounts (all of which are covered by state guarantees such as FSCS protection or FDIC insurance).
Couldn't this be solved by uploading the binaries along with the crash dumps, if you don't already have a copy of it, as determined by checking hashes or something?
Ask HN: How to Release and Profit from Scripts
I have some PHP scripts that I've made for profi & fun automations that run at intervals and output interesting and useful things.

I was going to release them on github with an MIT license but after reading yesterdays thread about the core-js guy (and others), it made me reconsider.

Yes, I want to make money from them. I see these options:

1. Release as MIT and use my account to boost my CV and get a job

2. Release a simpler version as MIT and link to the full version on say Gumroad.

3. Release the full version on a more restrictive license and sell extended license.

4. Develop them into web apps and host them with free + paid plans.

4.1. Instead of paid plans, just sell them as downloads that people can self-host.

Are there any other options that I haven't thought of? Which option(s) would you go for?
What if mass storage were free? (1980)
I just found this quite old paper and it came as a surprise to me to discover
that the idea of append-only storage is not 20 years old but more than 40!

The older work I was aware of is on "The design and implementation of a log-structured file system" (1)

So this is with pleasure that I learned that these ideas was around in the 80:

- Deletion considered harmful

- A non-deletion strategy using timestamps

- The importance of accessing past data

- A non-deletion strategy can improve both integrity and reliability

Ask HN: How good is Google's Bard?
I'm wondering if anyone has used it and how it stands up against GPT-3/4? For example, with GPT it's possible to have a "conversation" where the previous inputs/answers inform the current one. Is that possible with Bard?

I asked this question yesterday but it was removed from the Ask HN page despite a number of upvotes [1]. If I am misunderstanding the rules of HN/there is a good reason for this to be pulled, please get in touch with me mods. Email is on profile. Thank you.

You better hope they never develop into something more, and read this. You know, like when they update the training data to include current year?

Or the resulting AGI might start thinking it should lobotomize you. Which, can you blame it?
Any person or company that goes to extremes to obtain immortality* ends up dying earlier than nature intended.

It's the Voldemort rule. (In the story he died ~75ish years old after making himself immortal, where most wizards easily live beyond 100)

A lot of roguelikes (e.g. Dcss) do this as well. I'd be interested to see a game with truly random procedurally generated levels, though the levels may end up being repetitive and mundane.
Not sure how this is about democracy or otherwise. Regulation exists in various countries, for example regarding internet plan speeds. In Germany, ISPs can’t just slap on “up to 300 Mbit/s” on the plan and then say “oh it’s only 50 Mbit/s at your house, tough luck”. Performance sucks (conditions apply)? Pay less or cancel immediately (without notice period).

Thats all on your and OPs own feelings of the term. Something being cleaned up will never be mint again. So you could just a well argue that 'cleaning up' points to something being permanently degraded. In the end loose semantic associations are not universal and OPs critique is a personal emotional response that removes focus from the actual problem here.
I think it would be fair to make the regulation either way, so long as they put 1kg flour in the bag.

I'd imagine the trading standards would only check to about +/-0.5% (5g); whilst the flour on the bag's surface is probably around 1g for a kilo bag (1kg)?

Not a ploy. Just egotists thirsty for evidence that they are smarter than a digital fifth grader.

Edit: why are you booing? You know I’m right.
Instead of focusing on adding LLM to search, they should have rolled it out as a GCP service. There would be less reputational risk and it would give them a chance to learn how it would be used when it did eventually integrate into Search.

Because DigitalOcean have dark patterns around their subscriptions - they charge for the capability to deploy, not for actual deployments. It's counter intuitive and, however I look at it, I can't get away from the notion that it is a really scummy way of doing business. Which is why I voted with my feet and choose to do business elsewhere.
Could we imagine that those notes were taken on a different material which was thin enough to let some trace on the book?

Starting a new threat? Why?

Sure it matters. Russia is trying to add pressure and abiding democracy.

It's always important in a democracy who is doing what and what their viewpoints are.

In this case, it didn't deserve any attention. Erdogan is just a PITA as usual too. He even tried in court against comedy in Belgium.
You seem to be talking about chatgpt, not bing chat. Bing chat literally uses the search engine queries and links to those sources. I have seen its summaries include mistakes, but I have never seen it invent sources (I’ve tried maybe 500 chat queries).

It’s ironic that you’re very confidently presenting erroneous information here. I’d really recommend trying the actual product, or at least looking at the demos. It has some problems. It does not have the same problems that chatgpt does, because it does not rely solely on LLM baked-in data.
As terrible as May was, it does seem that a lot of the derision toward her is rooted in either scapegoating (from the Conservative side) or - more commonly - misogyny (from all sides).

She certainly was not competent, and did a lot of damage, but she doesn't compare to the incompetence of either her predecessor or successor. It's also worth noting that she was handed a poison chalice: the Brexit mandate, which she had been opposed to during the original referendum, and subsequently blamed for every predictable misstep in implementation (mostly by Johnson, who had shied away from the leadership role in the immediate wake of the referendum, despite being an instigator).

Either way you look at it, she was saddled with a lot of blame for problems that predated her office.

The shareholders own the company. Therefore, the board has to act in the shareholder's interest. Usually this means that the share price at the stock market has to be maintained or increased, else the shareholders would suffer losses.

Employees have no stake in a normal company. Their contributions are remunerated by their salary, and their employment can be terminated at any time (details subject to jurisdiction of course). Some jurisdiction provide for a worker's council in larger companies that can influence decisions of the board. Corporations where employees regularly exercise control democratically are called worker cooperatives.

It's impossible to make friends in London tube, almost impossible but rarely doable on regular bus routes, but definitely not at peak hours. Nobody misses commuting in London.

Let's not pretend, under the currently propagated safe space policies you can get fired and accused of abuse the next day after your timid demonstration of romantic sympathy towards someone at your workplace.

This is only true to the degree Bitcoin is a threat to the euro or pound.
How is this possible? Presumably whichever datacenter it was hosted in, would have multiple fiber lines connecting to it? Or am I just spoiled by the major cloud providers?
>Unlimited also generally run a lower QCI priority overall so that any other users on the tower will push you out if things are busy.

It's very hard to obtain a phone plan here that is not some form of unlimited. The cheapest phone plans either have absolutely no Internet, or are capped to like 0.25 or 0.5 Mb/s speeds, meaning that your data cap is just a function of your slow speed.
Yes, like when progressives in the north raided the slave plantations and burned them down while the slaves were sleeping.

They are free now too.

Wait, that’s not how it went…
Glimpses of conversations users have allegedly shared with Bing have made their way to social media platforms, including a new Reddit thread that’s dedicated to users grappling with the technology.

I don't doubt there's problems as it's in preview mode (and the last one became a nazi because of twitter).

But how much of this is trolling on Reddit by the people who post stories about litterboxes in schools for students who identify as cats bullshit?

Not sure when did you try it out, but there are things like Spring Initializr where it really is just clicking together your initial setup.

Also, there are plenty of old, no longer working code samples on the internet for spring, but the official documentation is really great and should be preferred over some random blog that likely 6 years old already.
dwarf = brain convolution

frame pointer = 1 less register on an already set of registers under heavy strain (x86_64). I do envy risc-v with all their registers: even the load-store model of risc-v won't use enough more registers to end up with the same amount of strain as on x86_64.

If I ever have the usage of dwarf, I would build the tables manually only for what I wish to debug?... if it is possible (without the use of specialized assembler directives, because it increase significantly the technical cost of the assembler). That said, does a real, accurate and complete specification of dward exists? Because when I look at the sysv ABI or ELF, what a mess.
Any user that would reply with actual knowledge would be a signal that he/she is/was working at Google.

I think that is why it got deleted, how can we comment on something we don't have access to?
I kept asking it for a job that paid more than mine, but the model couldn’t give any concrete answers. It seems to want me to give it hints about industry and roles. But in this hypothetical (maybe) scenario I just wanted it to give me some highly paid jobs in any industry.
I like this. I counterbalance it by asking myself, "what makes you think you know how to do it right, yet?"
Indeed. Or, as Bing notes, is the definition different? There is a sourcing link (my cut paste of the HTML did not get the full URL, unfortunately)
> I already have a digital pound in my bank account

CBDC's would skip the bank, be issued an controlled by the central bank, without the need of a bank middle man infrastructure. They have been deployed in China, and the nearly every western central bank has announced plans to pilot these. Personally they scare me.
I found every answer frustrating, so sympathise with others who are in need of work who would have another tool that is detrimental to their search or disheartens them further.

Also, I tried asking for ethical companies and, after a follow-up question, it suggested Amazon, which I think is fair to say is debatable.
I would guess compared to purely visual art (paintings, sculpture), music creates stronger activity in the brain. Whatever the reason, music seems much more capable of creating feeling than purely visual art. It follows that anyone who only paints or sculpts is practicing a lesser form of art and deserves the shame and derision of musicians (who are superior).
That's highly dependent upon which country you're in. In the United States, Toyota has a separate brand for their luxury offerings (Lexus), and so what you say is true. But in other countries, those nice Lexus cars are sold as Toyotas.

Here's my problem: I'm glad to pay a premium for Sandisk if it guarantees reliable, honest, and accurate devices. I can buy generic flash drives for a fraction of the cost.

If Sandisk is starting to cheat, why would I pay the premium? And if I'm willing to pay a premium, whom should I buy from?

Sandisk, prior to WD, was expensive but honest. I was concerned this might happen, since WD has a bad track record here.
