They're all consensus mechanisms. If you use any other mechanism to come to a consensus off-chain, then there's no point to using the chain for consensus. You just have an overly complicated distributed database with bad data in it.
I edit'd my comment (after I saw you say it appeared ageist); that's not what I intended and I can see how it came across that way (esp in the context of layoffs) - there are definitely going to be technically proficient people across all age ranges and I am firmly against ageism.

It'd be a mistake to think baby boomers are irreplaceable by younger generations though (what OP suggested.) I believe we will see more technically proficient people in younger generations statistically due to more people in that group being exposed to tech. Not that they will be better necessarily.

Not many of my peers in school were learning tech, for example, but a good majority of those I talk to now say their kids are learning to go into tech. This is in Arizona, with random people, Uber drivers, etc. so not exactly a tech hub where it'd be very expected.
Oh man these comments are hilarious. It sounds like the artist's intent (or, claimed lack thereof) has done exactly what it set out to do! Saying that you had no artistic intent is art in of itself, my dudes.

More and more firmware is using complex protocols like TCP/IP and TLS, which are risky to implement in a memory-unsafe language. Embedded Rust is very attractive for those applications.

This conclusion hinges on viewing landlord as a range of human identity, like mother or craftsman. Landlords aren't a type of people, it's an activity, an economic relationship.

Deciding that the correct place for that burden is on landlords is a valid and consistent view. That this is part of the risk and responsibility incurred by the action of landlording. No one is forced to be a landlord and so in this view if you don't like that responsibility you simply don't landlord.

It's not "punishment" to reevaluate where we let burdens fall, and require that some roles now carry burdens that they were once free of. And if it is, shit, we punish lots of people for all kinds of things, why are landlords exempt.
All the real left-leaning English newspapers are read exclusively by true Scotsmen.
A thought I had just now is that historically prices were static until an event happened to cause in increase, now prices are becoming dynamic and monotonically increasing unless an event happens.

The price collusion is greed/growing pains for prices being dynamic by default.

This is another social norm that is being discarded by modern society. In the past, you didn’t go to a store two days in a row and see different prices without a good reason.
Intentional consealment of illegal internet traffic isn't a crime (the crime is just the crime).

Intentional consealment of illegal financial transactions is a crime in-and-of itself (the crime is money laundering, which is a seperate offence to the original criminal activity that the money came from).
This.

The problem is not that companies are able to increase prices and improve their margins. That's good!

The problem is that our institutions (government, journalism, small business entrepreneurship) have reneged on their role of promoting competition, leading to a lack of fear of competitors in companies, leading to an increased ability by them to increase prices.

There should be more self-reflection on why price increases are possible, and redress of those causes, versus attempting to treat the symptom.

#1 place to start looking -- how to balance the ultra-high efficiency of consolidated firms with their ability to deploy overwhelming capital in novel industries to crush competition.

Or in other words: "How do we make it so that starting up a Facebook or Google or Microsoft competitor today is a reasonable?"

E.g. instead of putting price caps on necessary-but-low-volume medications, look into why it was able to collapse into a single-supplier market
I asked "how can i exit vim ?"

I got :

To exit vim, press the Esc key and then type :q! followed by enter. This will quit the program without saving any changes (1).

It's important to remember that having control over your own actions is the only way to truly make progress. You can't escape the challenges of life by running away, but instead you must look within yourself to find solutions to the problems you face (2).

In a similar way, the challenge of exiting vim can be solved by using the right combination of keys. By taking the time to understand the commands and how they work, you can exit vim quickly and confidently. This is a skill that takes practice and discipline, but it can be rewarding when you have mastery over it (3).

Finally, remember to stay focused on the task at hand. Don't be overwhelmed by the details, and don't be distracted by the many possible solutions. Concentrate on the problem until it's solved (4). This can apply to many areas of life, not just exiting vim.

Take the time to think about the problem and find the best solution. With focus and determination, you can exit vim and continue on with your day (5).

Ethanol is hard on all the soft bits in an engine. Rubber seals, diaphrams and so on. This is most dramatically seen in small engines that still use carburetors vs fuel injection.
I think we indeed hit "peak open-source" for AI and there unfortunately won't be as much sharing in the coming years. When the economy is down, people and companies think more in "zero-sum-game". I hope to be proven wrong.

It’s really only a web of trust in a very naive sense.

Most JS OSS is MIT licensed. There are no guarantees. It’s on _you_ to ensure the software works.

Secondly people don’t really “trust” packages. They trust the usage, weekly downloads and quality of docs. They just assume this implies that it’s going to be OK, or that when deps break it’s nobody’s fault. Shit happens.
Kubuntu, Lubuntu, and Other Ubuntu Flavors Are Making a Big Change
If you're using global CSS or BEM etc, you're right, Tailwind sounds like a dream. I work in React apps however where CSS modules or CSS-in-TS already solves the scoping problem for us. So now we're left with just the "visually busy" part that's unmaintainable and not better than CSS classes.
Ask HN: Any investigation into chip and weapon black market

Wow, it's just nonstop fun over there.

I noticed that a lot of analytics data is missing, tweet count is empty for many days but also all of the historic data for tweets, profile visits, and mentions are just gone. In fact, looking through it, most of the data is gone. The only things left are the top follower of that month, the total tweet impressions, and new follower count.

Not a novel view but it feels like it's circling the drain.
Nokia's networking business was quite separate from the mobile phone business that got sold to Microsoft.
I said “leveraging the ability to change windows” which is not limited to bundling.

Making it more difficult to install competitors is “leveraging the ability to change windows.”

They very much lost in large part because of a video shown in court of how difficult to install a competitor. They even lied about it by editing their own video which skipped steps showing they knew that behavior was problematic.

As to Intel’s x86 monopoly. Intel paid 1.6 billion in response to a monopoly lawsuit, and the EU fined them $1.45 billion and ordered it to end its customer rebate program. So they where definitely treated like a monopoly.

I must not be understanding what you mean. The field of quantum healing is entirely corrupt. There is no such thing, it's all bunk. Do you mean that quantum physics isn't corrupt? Because I doubt anybody thinks that.
It's definitely not like Ericsson went on a hiring spree during covid, like most other companies that are now laying people off. Their employee numbers have barely changed since 2019.

Trying to make sense of Flatpak's threat model is just near-impossible. It might protect you from something, if the specific app's configuration told it to do so. Starting a random Flatpak app, you have no guarantees, and the UX doesn't communicate anything about this.

This is untrue. The escalation would be to the property's management team, which is the same group which configured the tool to use the recommended pricing.

If I take a Playstation to the checkout counter at Walmart and say "Instead of $500, how about $450?", the person at the checkout counter doesn't have the authorization to change the price from the price enforced by the checkout system. They'd have to call over a manager and make the case as to why I should be able to buy it for $450 instead of the enforced price the system already set.

Isn't this a classic "commoditize your complements" play? Facebook's value is in their social graph and users' attachment to it via various apps. TikTok and others are not trying to replicate that, they're creating similar volumes of user attachment via models. You can easily imagine LLM's being applied by competitors in a comparable way. If models become commodities, then Facebook continues to hold the one advantage nobody else has.
> destroys the efficient market hypothesis

> There is no future for capitalism

My honest opinion -- We don't need an efficient market. We don't need extreme capitalism. We need housing for everyone.

We need government to step in and cap housing prices, build more housing, and drive away the 80-year-old farts with 15 houses still trying to extract money from poor college students.

Housing should be built to LIVE in, not as an investment.
Intuitively this seems wrong. The explanation in the article doesn't seem convincing. Any form of synthetic fuel that doesn't take more carbon out of the Earth should be better, no?
Is it authoritarian? What "authority" is stepping in here? Isn't it the rights holder making this decision?

That's what I'm not getting; this isn't an external entity, it's the people who own the rights. Shouldn't they be allowed to do what they want with their property, even if you disagree with it?
I'm going to assume you know how to stand up and manage a distributed training cluster as a simplifying assumption. Note this is an aggressive assumption.

You would need to replicate the preprocessing steps. Replicating these steps is going to be tricky as they are not described in detail.Then you would need to implement the model using xformers [1]. Using xformers is going to save you a lot of compute spend. You will need to manually implement the backwards pass to reduce recomputation of expensive activations.

The model was trained using 2048 A100 GPUs with 80GBs of VRAM. A single 8 A100 GPU machine from Lambda Cloud costs $12.00/hr [2]. The team from meta used 256 such machines giving you a per day cost of $73,728. It takes 21 days to train this model. The upfront lower bound cost estimate of doing this is [(12.00 * 24) * 21 * 256) = ] $1,548,288 dollars assuming everything goes smoothly and your model doesn't bite it during training. You may be able to negotiate bulk pricing for these types of workloads.

That dollar value is just for the compute resources alone. Given the compute costs required you will probably also want a team composed of ML Ops engineers to monitor the training cluster and research scientists to help you with the preprocessing and model pipelines.

edit: these costs are for the 65B parameter model.
I bet it's worth more than that in usable electricity if we ran it through a heat exchanger + steam turbine.
I like them as a company, but I wouldn't use them as a registrar if there was a significant risk of UDRP. Domains are not their core business and customer service is close to non-existent if you're not at least a pro-level customer. For your case, you should use a dedicated domain registrar, such as the ones I outlined earlier. Infomaniak is another registrar that I've found good in terms of customer service and price. They're Swiss based, and I've found them to be competent and professional.
Car companies shouldn't be required to add safety features. If the market wants it car companies will add them. Seatbelts should be an add on expense like they were in the 1960s. Get the government out of the business of looking after citizens!

I hate when people don't include approximation for traning before final hyperparameters are found as its most costly part of whole process most of the time.

Just yes we train it for so long etc. but they never speak about tens or even hundres of runs before they finalize the model parameters and architecture -.-
> Is it because it's a book? Is it because it's a medium that hasn't really been censored like this before? Is it because it was done posthumously? Is it the specific content being censored?

It's because it is fraud. I want to buy a copy of Roald Dhall's original work - unadulterated by leftist wankers.

If censorship is required when reading to my children, I'll be the one to decide how to do it.

If they want to tone police literature, let them produce their own dull sanitised works and see if anyone wants to buy them. But they know that noone does want to buy them, hence why they have to mutilate someone else's work instead.
Who is censoring in this case?
> 8 hours in the Sun is good enough for 2 hours of driving, according to that blurb. That’s like 100 miles of range...

Nope! They might want you to think that with misleading wording, but you'd be lucky for 2 hours of driving at 12 mph. And, again, that's only if the car gets full sun the entire day. At those distances, just get an electric bicycle.

EDIT: I don't know what blurb you refer to, but my search engine says https://sonomotors.com/en/sion/ used to say "on average 112km/week".
> It might be a cynical way to look at it, but overall I don't think it's sustainable to place the responsibility of caring for society on corporations.

This line of thinking bothers me more than it probably should. How can corporations be thought of as separate entities from the people it consists of, in any context except legal?
I wrote a lot more, but decided to distill it into one question: How can they be, in good conscience, allowed to get a pass?
Criticism of US "foreign policy", for example. Fair whatabotism is not allowed to breathe at all.

That's completely false. Just look at all the convenience stores spread across the world. Or, if my neighbor sells widgets, I can still go into the business of selling widgets.

Huh? Are you really saying expensive candies are causing wealth inequality?

If a certain product has tons of loyal customers, it's creator/owner deserves all the wealth he gains off of it.

Unlike candies, housing is essential.

Edit: It's such a nice example of the first-world leftism: "those damn billionaires are stealing my... fancy candies".
> So far voters are not a fan.

Correction...voters are a fan of more housing being built (affordable housing even), just not in their neighborhoods where it will negatively impact their property values and status quo.
> Does it follow that tulips, railroad companies, and baby plushies are scams and criminal in nature?

At the time that those things were happening? Definitely scams. Not necessarily criminal, though.

> It doesn't care if grifters hype, pump, and dump its tokens.

True. But, as I think you've noticed, a whole lot of people do care, and don't want to have anything to do with the whole idea. Maybe even most people.

It doesn't help that pro-cryptocurrency people cannot articulate a real, practical use case (outside of one or two niche things, like moving money across contested national borders) that isn't already done at least as well by the existing monetary system and also isn't scammy.
multi-character graphemes were a mistake.
More energy in the form of diesel and fossil fuel derived fertilizer went into corn ethanol than you get out in usable fuel
> There is approvals team that that has to press the button in addition to management.

I agree the article is very clear. The approvals team is the management of the property.

From the article:

> If there is a disagreement between the participating Lessor and the RealPage Pricing Advisor, the dispute is often elevated to the Lessor’s management for resolution, and specific reasons justifying a departure from RealPage’s pricing level are usually required.

This snippet is in the "..." from the above comment. Funny they snipped out this extremely critical part of the quote to show who does the approval.

Where does it say RealPage employees need to approve the price?
Iowa is losing that status this coming cycle, so things may begin to shift.
I wonder how much corporate domain blocking comes into play on articles like this gaining traction on HN during the day on weekdays? I am reading the comments here on my lunch break before reading the article since "gaming" links are blocked. If it sounds interesting, I try to look it up after work.
The whole point of the HDB system was to streamline and standardize the creation of decent quality housing. It worked spectacularly at creating abundant supply. Compared to the 1950s the supply has taken off like a rocket.

The "problem" was that population growth kept up with supply - initially through an extremely high birth rate and then, when that collapsed, through extremely high immigration rates.

Given the high population growth and low availability of land the growth in housing stock has been pretty amazing. Both the quality and the quantity certainly blows the US and Europe out of the water.

The point of having a standard is to know which ones to deny.

Make a study over a wide range of documents about the characters that are used the most, see if there are alternatives to the characters that don't make it, etc...

This is unlike the HN ban on emoji, which I think is more of a political decision than a technical one. Most people on HN use systems that can read emoji just fine, but they decided that the site would be better without it. This would be more technical, a way to balance inclusivity and technical constraints, something between ASCII and full Unicode.
