Ah, I get it now! Thanks. Internet is like a comm medium that contains too much "error rate". So the transmission is imperfect. Plus coupled with that, it's looped back on itself. So you get feedback loops. Couple high errors with feedback and you have a system designed to create chaos. Fuck yeah! What an awesome theory. I never saw such a concise "information theoretic" approach to why the internet is so fucked up and society because of it. Now I get it. Thank you! :) ;P xx ;p. I'm not joking it is a good theory.
Conway's Law is frequently referenced, but the claimed connection is rarely explained.

From Wikipedia:

> The law is, in a strict sense, only about correspondence; it does not state that communication structure is the cause of system structure, merely describes the connection. Different commentators have taken various positions on the direction of causality; that technical design causes the organization to restructure to fit, that the organizational structure dictates the technical design, or both. Conway's law was intended originally as a sociological observation[citation needed], but many other interpretations are possible.

My take: Conway's Law is vague, squishy, non-causal, misunderstood, and can mean a great many things, some of which are mutually inconsistent.
What is the name of your new course? I’m struggling to determine if it’s effective pandas or one of the others.
This is why I'm tempted to try Asahi. After a decade of using macOS full time the idea of ever using it again makes me want to run to the woods, and Windows is only a little better. The Macs do seem quite powerful, though I expect the AMD laptops coming out this year to rival them.

BTW, many professionals like and use a highly customized setup which only Linux can offer. This is true in other fields too. See, for example, Euroracks.
There needs to be a special category for ads that are literally targeted to like 12 people. For example, Northup Grumman taking out a Super Bowl ad in for the B-21 stealth bomber. They might as well started it with, "This is a very special message to Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James."

> Liver damage is a known adverse effect of both emtricitabine and tenofovir, which are extremely common antiretrovirals, an indisputable fact verifiable by anyone on the Internet.

Your comment literally claims that long-term HAART carries a significant (or even certain) risk of long-term liver damage, a claim which is baseless and unsupported.

You're also conflating acute adverse reactions - which are astronomically rare - with long-term side-effects, when there's no relationship between the two.

Not only are tenofovir and emtricitabine safe for the liver, but they are literally commonly prescribed for people who have chronic liver problems because they are so well tolerated. People who can't take Tylenol are able to take them. It's a gross mischaracterization to suggest that they cause "decades of liver damage", a claim which is soundly contradicted by medical literature.

> There's a difference between fearmongering and informed consent, and I would ask you to refrain both from spreading misinformation and from making personal attacks.

I never made any personal attack at any point.

I would, however, flip this request back at you and ask you to stop spreading misinformation, which is what you are clearly doing.

> Your insistence on gaslighting does not lend credibility to your other claims.

There's been a holy war going on inside Microsoft for at least a decade over XAML based UI versus web based UI. The web groups keep winning those fights. Microsoft isn't a monolith, it's a battlefield and some of that spills out to the rest of the world, often with developers getting stuck in the crossfire.
Solar panels and photosynthesis drive different outputs, sure, but with the basically limitless electricity from the solar panels, we can then drive whatever output we want through applying the electricity to machinery or electrolysis
For me the issue is that there are so many pieces, I can't hold them all in my head together.

But that period of stepping away seems to allow me to combine a few pieces and then treat that new piece as a single piece, so I'm able to hold much more. (Easily noticeable when coding same program over time).

I don't think I can consciously do that. It only happens if I study and consider the problem daily for at least 4-5 days, sometimes longer.
If you want to embed the visualization part only, you can export a vega-lite/vega specification and then use Vega-Embed: https://github.com/vega/vega-embed or React-Vega to embed in your web app.

I recently had someone close my question because I answered it, and linked to it in another question. So they assumed the question I linked had the answer.
It's not doing that because it's not AGI. It probably doesn't even have the ability to fill out a form. It can scrape a webpage, but unless the engineers at Microsoft actually gave it the ability to read the elements of a page and control a browser instance to fill out forms, there's no way it could actually do anything. Remember GPT is just a language model, unless it's getting hooked up to other systems the only thing it can do is output text, so I don't see why MS would let it do something like that.
I'm curious what exactly this is in reference to?

Like I was around for the whole 68k and PPC transition. Obviously the Intel transition too. I think the Intel was the worst, at least for us that doubled down on expensive G5s that barely had any shelf life to them.

Beyond that? Apple is pretty reasonable. Android Phones that were released at the same time as the XR, which still runs iOS 16, have been deprecated for almost 2.5 years in any kind of support.

I feel sorry for people that bought Intel Macs in 2019, as those are really the ones going to be left out in the cold.

Outside of that, as far as installing a brand new Apple OS on a 5 year old+ computer, is a crap shoot from the performance perspective. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. Maybe it will require too many concessions.

Intel's forever 14nm++++++ honestly sort of stagnated things for a while, but now they've taken off again, and you can often feel the age on those machines in a lot of use cases.
I'm trying to work out whether or not the right thing to do is just to help work towards ushering in AGI by whatever contribution I can make, or whether to scream into the hurricane. Screaming into the hurricane feels pointless, and I generally agree that on balance AGI is likely to be net negative. Overall I just feel somewhat confused.
In a labor market where Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft haven't recently released collectively dozens of thousands of well-qualified workers into the pool, I suspect this situation might have ended differently. It's "buyer's market" out there now and employers can afford to be extra picky. This dynamic may not have applied to the poster's case since those other available resources would have been laid off as well. But the core point stands.
Creators of the project here, the first difference is the raw speed if you have many images, video, audio, files etc.

We did some benchmarking here: https://github.com/Oxen-AI/oxen-release/blob/main/Performanc...

200k+ images from the CelebA dataset take ~6 minutes to add, commit, push into Oxen. Same dataset takes ~3 hours for DVC.
That’s because people want to live in low rise buildings.

The average person in California (and in the rest of the country) desires to live in a detached home that they own.

It is not wrong to want that.

However, it is definitely wrong to assume that high-rise apartments are “proper” density and that LA is doing it wrong. LA is the way the people live there want it to be. If you want high density and high-rise living, there are other cities that offer that.
It seems that the proposed system is an improvement over plants, but not necessarily over the Sabatier reaction driven by energy captured by solar cells. Is that right? How would these compare?
I begged and pleaded with my Microsoft rep about this and he went between myself and the Teams people; the current behavior is intentional and a design decision.

they want (they REALLY want) to allow users to copy from Teams and paste into Teams as RTF and many of their design decisions revolve around this decision. when you type markdown formatting cues into Teams they get converted to RTF which is why it's such a pain (or simply impossible) to edit something at either end of a specially formatted bit of text.

maybe they've undone this stupidity in teams 2.0 but their love of backwards compatibility tells me "no," very loudly.
This guy writes like the pretentious fake foodie dude on The Menu.
> There's a missing bit of context here about what "laid off" actually means in this person's case. We are assuming it means a non-performance related reduction in force, but it may be something different.

But that's basically the definition of a layoff; the elimination of roles from a company due to reasons unrelated to the performance of the laid off people (e.g. lack of work, economic conditions). If somebody loses their job due to reasons related to their individual performance, they were not laid off. They were fired.

The only tinfoil hats are you guys, these days. Tin foil on your head keeps the new info from getting in. So you can protect the existing "everything is bland and normal" cognitive bias. (I'm not attacking, it's not you-personal---it's a whole phenomena of people who wanna believe the boring shit, and never anything else).

Me looking at your first 3 lines:

...Uhuh...

...Good...

...WTF!?! Roswell was A12?!

Come on man, you can't believe that hype. Even the "tinfoil hat space weather balloon" bs cover story, has a guy holding a telegraph memo. You can zoom in on that memo and clearly make out a communique that details the coverup.

Also, read Corso's Day After Roswell (available in 1 click probably). It details an extensive chronology for the events of the crash, initial unsanctioned info release, and subsequent coverup and reverse engineering efforts.

It's just nuts to wave it away with a magical swoosh of your hands and say, "It was A12, nuff said." Some disinfo agent probably fed that story to the press, just like with the balloon. Please, please, please read more before you speak more about this. Actually read it for yourself, not just the "internet crib" notes and then make up your mind to confirm your existing bias because some 12-year-old commenter said "Contains many logical fallacies" on Goodreads or whatever. I don't know if there's a goodreads, don't go lookin' for it--just read more please!!! :P :) xx ;p

I'm not even saying these latest things are legit (probably just disinfo distraction)--but there's so many others--so, you know, look into it!

I had a similar feeling about markdown but I went a different direction and wrote a little package that parses markdown with front matter into html and saves it inside an in memory SQLite database. It runs quickly enough that it can hot reload anytime you save while it watches your blog posts directory. Gives you full text search and it exposes the database directly from the package so you can basically hook it up to anything.

I’m still ironing out the kinks, but it made blogging way more pleasant for me, after trying a few other things and being unimpressed overall.

When you say "electrochemical CO2 reduction", can you expand a bit more into what that method is?
> they do remain undetectable

False. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19043927/

In the first year after achieving VL undetectability, 354/1386 (25.5%) patients experienced low-level VL rebound, the remaining patients maintained consistent undetectability. Low-level rebound occurred less commonly with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based HAART than with other regimens (P = 0.01). Over median 2.2 (range 0.0-7.4) years of subsequent follow-up, 86 (6.2%) patients experienced virological failure, corresponding to 2.30 failures per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.82-2.79). Independent predictors of virological failure included low-level rebound during the first year after achieving undetectability relative to consistent undetectability (rate ratio [RR] 2.18, 95%0 CI 1.15-4.10), female gender (RR 1.79, 95% CI 1.12-2.85) and receiving a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (Pl/r) relative to NNRTI-based HAART (RR 1.88, 95% CI 1.02-3.46).

I really agree - doubly so after going independent and dealing with more non-technical counterparties.

Since my youth, I've always had a visceral, perhaps a bit maladaptive, need to be understood and have been able to parlay that into a sort of communicational hyper vigilance. The end result is that I compulsively over communicate and go out of my way to meet the receiving parties more than half way. If I can, I consider their background and reference frames and preemptively build a semantic bridge to them. Working with international teams, it's important to suppress urges for idiomatic expressions or general folkseyness, which is hard since I _LOVE_ to indulge in mixed metaphors and intentional malapropism.

The end result of emails with those constraints tends to be a wall of text, but the upside is that it tends to get copied around as a contextual 'checkpoint' of the problem under discussion.

In the end, effective communication is empathy.. And empathy can often be difficult work.

This is going a long way into the weeds I don't have an interest in trying to discuss it here. But you seem to be equating USA with capitalism or that historic emissions and economic development somehow means the blame can be pinned on "capitalism", again ignoring current and historic emissions from communist countries, or poor capitalist countries. Or that the CCP does not exercise de facto authority over all large corporations operating in China.

Sorry, I'm just not going to buy it. It just looks like you have a hatred of capitalism and trying to pin things to it. Better tighten up your argument a whole lot before you try it out on somebody else.
It sort of seems to me (seattle area resident) that our social programs are under attack from concept to execution by people that would rather the disadvantaged just die. The people doing good work get burned out fast, the money dries up, its just bad.

My neighbor was the director of a homeless shelter and the crap he had to deal with was unreal.

I look at it kinda like the anti car movement. The big companies supported whichever side would save them money. They supported getting rid of street parking for bike lanes and making parking under a building part of code.... then sabatoged it by making the parking all permit only or very expensive. Now theres too little parking either way to go shopping and the anti car people get to look bad. But it didnt really affect the average s class driver at all so who cares right?

This is just the impression I got working downtown for 10 years. Probably have some misunderstandings.
Beyond the adaptation to AI angle on this, the idea is compelling in its own right I'd say.

Anyone who's gone on to mark/grade or write assessments would probably attest to the perspective it provides.
Whatever your opinion of assessment in academia/schooling (I, for one, am generally negative), there is something to seeing the difference between someone who actually understands and someone who is spamming to get the best grade they can. There's also, maybe less controversially, great value in actually teaching a topic and then assessing your students to see how much they've understood. It all really clarifies a topic and prompts you to revisit and reevaluate it in edifying ways.

Taking all of that and using it as a form of learning and even assessment makes a lot of sense to me, where the aim of the education process is shifted to, you could say, making some sort of new teacher, not an assessment "hacker".

My personal bias here is that I always instinctively approached learning this way, not feeling that I've learnt something properly unless I felt I could teach it to someone else.
I'm not sure what they mean anyway. The amount of solar energy hitting earth is a lot larger than human energy utilization. Like by a factor of 10000 (tens of terawatts vs ~100 petawatts).
Absolutely. I had ~2% loss on an old cable modem and it would drop my upload speeds to single digit megabits.

you're clearly deliberately missing distinctions between artists doing individual pieces, which take time and work, and apps that can spit out thousands of "look-alikes" simultaneously in a fraction of time. the difference is not at the scale of '1 cent less', it's at a scale of 'any price difference app provider wants to set, ranging from a buck to complete 100% difference if they just make their output free', multiplied by the capability to produce multiples of the output all at the same time.

you're off away arguing about, I guess, how different AI apps can "compete" with each other", when the conversation is about apps vs artists, and apps coming in to the artist market and disrupting artist market, not just 'interplaying' in their own 'ai art / app' market.
> They're not compatible with our lifestyle

Did that lifestyle come out of a vacuum? Or was it influenced by economic, social, and cultural forces in society at large?

If the decision of yourself and others in your situation really was a fully personal one, not influenced by economics or society—then low innate desire for children has become evolutionary maladaptive, and so we should expect birthrates to start rising rapidly through Darwinian selection pretty soon.
It literally can't do that. It's an auto complete. It's not something that exists outside of a python script that has no write access to anything that could affect any change in the world.

Show HN: I'm building ProductHunt for Actual Products: Would love feedback
The product discovery process is totally broken, and this is where Styrate comes in. With so many products available online, it's becoming increasingly difficult for consumers to differentiate between genuine and fake reviews. Amazon and other e-commerce platforms are full of fake reviews that can mislead consumers into buying substandard products. This means that consumers can end up wasting their time and money on products that don't meet their needs, and this problem is only getting worse. Styrate solves this problem by connecting consumers with trusted influencers who provide honest reviews and recommendations.

With video reviews, upvoting, and sorting/search by type of product, users can easily discover the most highly rated reviews for their needs. Fake reviews cost Americans 0.12 cents on every dollar they spend online, making it crucial to have a platform like Styrate for informed purchasing decisions. The MVP is a little rough around the edges and is missing a few pages(top influencers, Product Categories,etc) and the ability to search by product. Any feedback about the idea or website is highly appreciated.

styrate.vercel.app is the correct page, can't edit the url.
This is asinine, discriminatory and unfair. I'd even say it's borderline malicious.

Glad they named and shamed. I would't do any business with this company, nor attempt to work for them.

A RIF has nothing to do with a person's performance .. at least officially. One has to assume it was a business decision only, not performance based, although with a large reduction it seems improbable that the people left would be, now or in the past, under-performers. More than likely, the person being laid off was due to their salary being high, and their function being covered by someone else. Nothing more complicated than that.
Creator of the project here, would love to look at what an LFS style integration with git hooks could look like. Let me know if you have any ideas there!
This is actually a pretty natural fit, imo. Docker containers are basically processes with fat runtimes, and container orchestration layers are essentially glorified process supervisors.

At the same time, most Linux systems already come with a pretty fancy process supervisor. Personally, I think writing systemd units from scratch is already pretty easy. But it makes sense that Linux software which often integrates with (essentially) process supervisors would want painless integration with systemd!

Also, in some ways I think this is simpler. Anyone who has used a reasonably modern Linux likely has some systemd experience. For local testing and 'orchestration', why rely on some additional one-off layer like docker-compose when the operating system's built-in process supervisor has all of the facilities you need?
