Is it really a lot of jeopardy though? We have to assume that they are pricing the API so that the more it is used, the more money they make.

So actually to me that is arguably a better business model. Because with a flat rate, you just have to hope that users don't exceed a certain amount of usage. And the ones that don't, are not getting a great deal. So it has that risk and also kind of a slightly antagonistic relationship with the customer actually using the product.
Why? YouTube already transcribes videos and that transcription is available via the video's official page, or via a 3rd party service like https://youtubetranscript.com/
Relatedly, check out comma. It's basically a shortcut prefix command that will search packages for the binary you want to run (via nix-index), and gives you an interactive choice if there are multiple. Which package was drill in again? No matter, I'll just prefix a comma :)

This makes no sense. How would it be faster to remediate an issue once it is already in prod? Everything else shows enormous efficiency gains when shifted left.

These numbers also are... ambitious.

Altogether, this just feels like made up data.

I just meant chinchilla optimal in terms of the corrected scaling curves from the chinchilla paper. The original GPT-3 was way larger than it needed to be for the amount of data they put into it based on the curves from the chinchilla paper.
"No, I don't think you can help yourself. You have to get the last word in and you have to ensure it's an insult. At this point you are emotionally compromised, you can't stop yourself"

This is arguably already the state of things.

Rust might get compiled down through MIR, down through LLVM IR, down to assembly or wasm... which then might be JIT or AOT (re)compiled into other bytecodes... which might perhaps be decompiled back up to C... and C might be retranslated back to horrific unsafe-spamming Rust by the likes of https://c2rust.com/. We've come full circle!

The main issue is that retranslating high level languages into other high level languages isn't something that there's actually a lot of demand for, especially commercially, especially given the N x M translation matrix going on. So a lot of the projects "stabilize" (get abandoned). And automatically translating between the idioms of those languages gets even nastier in terms of matrix bloat.

Well, you've got stuff like MSIL and JVM bytecodes which are higher level, and preserve more type information, and can be compiled to / decompiled from while still preserving more structure, but they still form competing incompatible ecosystems.
> And WHY haven't we advanced beyond the human/computer interface introduced 50 years ago?

I like the current interface of mouse, monitor and keyboard.

I hate using phone apps. The keyboard is too small, and I hate typing with my thumbs, and the screen is too small. When the iPad came out, Apple fanboys says everyone would only use phones and tablets within 5 years. It has been about 12, and a lot of people are still using laptops and desktops.

And voice interface will probably be a disaster. Everyone thinks it will be like "Star Trek", where they have actors who know how to deliver lines. Most people do not speak that well.

To give an extreme example: I know one guy (with a CS degree from UT, no less) who honestly says more filler words than actual words. "Um" and "ah" are his favorites. Then when he does get a sentence going, he stops halfway through, gives you another ten seconds of filler words, and starts a different one. I think if this guy tried a computer with a voice interface, it would achieve the singularity just to smack him.

Amazingly enough: His wife is from Taiwan, he met her when he spent a few years in Taiwan, and I have seen icons w/Chinese characters on his screen. I wonder if he speaks Chinese the same way he speaks English.

Robert Smith of the Cure said one day he and his wife noticed they had left a camera on after recording a message, so they watched the rest. He said they quickly devolved and were shocked at how dumb they sounded.
AFAIK that is a fairly recent change (though in the past there were some policy differences between SOA and SDC; I have never been an SDC customer).
Previous comment is getting long, but if you want to get rid of things like "googlecloud-sdk/platform/bundledpythonunix/bin" you can use:

nix-locate --top-level --regex '^/bin/python3'

Which will only show packages with "/bin/python3" in the root.

Most of the time this is unnecessary, but since python gets vendored in a lot of packages, it comes up with this example.
There's no need to. Different agents will have different copies of the same message, that's a given. If the sender ensures that a UUID is attached to a single specific message and never re-used (though they may retry to send the exact same message multiple times), then there is no risk that multiple receivers would have different versions of a message and therefore consensus is guaranteed without even having to talk to each other.

If you assume that the sender cannot be trusted to not reuse a single UUID for multiple messages (e.g. to trick the receiver), you can still work around that limitation by computing and comparing message hashes (e.g. sha256) on the receiver side... Don't even need UUIDs. Every time you receive a message, you can hash it and check if you're received a message with this hash before (storing the hash of each message as it is received). You can use the hash in place of a UUID though in this case you probably need to add some index to each message to ensure that each hash is unique over time (since a message with the exact same payload will be counted as the same message, even if broadcast a long time apart).
Have you tried it? Might be best to suspend judgement until you have.

Not saying I disagree with you.

No offense, but the 'cover letter' is a field for extra information. I'm not related to the company at all, I'm just saying...
1. Get a tutor for the basics, spend at least 1-2 hours learning every day. Have a good sleep. After the fundamentals, get on one of those platforms where you speak for 30 minutes in your mother tongue with someone else and vice versa to practice.

2. Move to a foreign country (this is how I learned 2 languages, without knowing how - just pure daily exposure).
I enjoyed the book, though I used the audio version which I suspect skews my opinion upwards. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but I understand some HNers have cause to argue with some of his conclusions.

Anyway, I looked up the author's name as I didn't trust my memory.

Does this affect your interest in the book?
Ah! Interesting, I thought the capability was capped by parameters, but you're saying you can keep getting more capability from a fixed parameter size by continuing to train past what the chinchilla paper specifies. That's really cool
American railroads versus most other countries’ railroads are a great counter example to the efficient private business hypothesis.
Perhaps adding a UUID is too much overhead? If you have a very high throughput system with messages of less than 128 bits, then the addition of a UUID to every message would effectively cut throughput in half.

I do not have such a use case in mind, but the description above does not sound terribly unrealistic to me.

Without USB-PD, existing phones will already limit their charge current, and Android at least will say 'charging slowly'.

The place to enforce USB-PD is at the source, which is what is happening in your described scenario.

Yes, sinks should definitely honour their power contracts, but phones generally already do this (they need to work with 500mA, 2A, and potential faster chargers without overloading them), and don't usually have power-sucking peripherals attached that will mess up their actual draw.

Whilst the heading doesn't paint the right picture of what actually happened.

I do want to point out that if there was a news article that said "VW will allow authorities access to car GPS via request" people would absolutely lose their minds over the potential for overreach.

In this case, it's great to see the overwhelming response being positive to allowing it in this case.
Rather than talking about "taboos," which sound sort of mysterious and arbitrary, let's take a look at why commenting on her gender wasn't the best thing.

First I have no doubt that the original comment up there, commenting how it's odd to see a woman involved in such a hobby, was made completely innocently!

But even if something is both correct and innocent, it's not always like... the best choice. It was off topic for sure and more to the point, it winds up simply reinforcing the stereotype.

Imagine a comment along the lines of, "oh -- a black valedictorian! don't see that often!" Awkward at best, and the fact that you're pointing out the perceived exception to a perceived stereotype is evidence that you're kinda bought into the stereotype.

> The privatization of the mines in particular was wildly successful.

We're talking about government services here. Of course a mine will be more profitable in private hands.
some things are better handled by local governments. There's nothing worse than private companies that can do things like force civil fines. Local government is more accountable to the people.
I would have to look up Maxwell's equations right now if I needed them. Nevertheless, I am confident I have a good understanding of them. What I have in my head are important relationships (conservation laws, symmetries, wave solutions, etc.), not the exact mathematical formulas.
The study above argues convincingly for later contact though. There were probably several waves, theres other (disputed) circumstantial evidence for this. When we sequence more (if allowed) we will find richer picture as the OP alludes to.

This is a shocking and ahistorical take on the reasons a person might choose to become a monk both past and present.

I can't tell if you're joking, but I'm not sure how these results told you anything. I find nix-index and nix-locate entirely unusable.
Your argument assumes good faith on behalf of the buyer, and that said long-term investment is actually coming.

But I can show you PGE and SDGE as examples of privatization WITHOUT any of that good-faith investment, and then when the situation went critical (massive wildfires a few years back due to bad electricity infra), electricity consumers being forced to foot the bill. Where I live, my utilities bill has quadrupled in the past three years (from ~$100 to ~$450 a month for literally identical usage, I checked my statements), rate regulation (the CPUC) is seemingly toothless, and my utilities company sends me these insultingly understated letters about how they can't control energy pricing and have to pass on rates to consumers.

Except they won't tell you that they are owned by the company they buy their energy from, and that THAT company happily will set prices to whatever they want if it means sucking off their pathetic little shareholders just a little bit more. Sempra Energy has been doing gangbusters on their quarterly earnings reports!

“Writing flashy headlines for less than groundbreaking content” isn’t a nefarious conspiracy, it’s just a hallmark of kind of mediocre media. It’s not some big conspiracy, it’s just boring.

If I were to write an article about how I think [person a] could possibly be right or wrong about [topic x] for understandably valid reasons in either direction, I wouldn’t title it “No, [opinion of person a on topic x] is wrong” because that would be stupid.

> most studies find that people living in the same country are indeed more closely related to each other than to people of different countries

I'm surprised that anyone would really think otherwise. There is so much obvious similarity between people in different countries (well, the old countries, I mean, such as in Europe and Asia) that sometimes I wonder if each country has a relatively recent common ancestor.

Cool notes on the rendering process by the author though...
It really depends on the circumstance.

Generally the code should be correct and work as current requirements dictate. So probably you don't want to keep an entire section of the old code just commented out and sitting there.

What I've seen done as a practice is to leave a brief comment referencing specific commit hashes in cases where an important change to business logic is involved.

Most of the time this shouldn't be necessary though. In the course of investigating bugs, going through the commit history should provide most of the information needed. Do a "git blame" and read the notes the previous person left in their commit messages.

You're talking about averages. The idea that "genetic tests can accurately determine race" kind of falls apart when you apply it to an individual with mixed ancestry. You can probably detect and quantity the extent of the mix (which is why 23andme or ancestry can make money), but labelling a bunch of averages as "race" and arguing that there is an innate and immovable property of biology seems like there's something you're missing in drawing these correlations. You can start at a conclusion and show all sorts of correlations given enough data, but it doesn't give validity of how this is somehow the right way to look at it.

And that's not even getting into how you're giving off creepy eugenicist vibes.

Lewontin came to that conclusion by examining exclusively blood type alleles, which was kind of asinine because they have no apparent geographic distribution pattern at all. Other genetic markers tell a much clearer story, as the principal component analysis shows. It couldn't really be any more obvious - the PCA makes a map. You can literally see each of the continents represented in a projection of genetic data.
You may want to submit this feedback as an issue to the nixos-search repository, where they have the indexing code and website interface.

The best way to get an emotionally charged discussion on Hacker News is to put a caveat that it's unfortunate that a topic is emotionally charged. It's a lightning rod and discussion bridge for people who just want debate controversial issues. I certainly have been on both sides of it.
What salary did they offer?
The trend has been that people are using bailouts, stimulation, and low interest loan consolidation to pay down high interest credit accounts since the pandemic started. I worked in underwriting for a few years, into the pandemic. The FICO scores have been steadily climbing ever since the beginning of the pandemic, and even years before, despite the fact that consumer behavir was not changed. It's only my hypothesis of whats going on. Thankfully I don't work with credit anymore. I think this jives with your statement, but doesn't mean the article is meaningless overall.
