I think you are missing the point that using LLMs to improve Alexa would certainly be hard, but it would have been massively worthwhile if it worked. Microsoft and Google are well aware that LLMs have the potential to upend the search dominance of Google.

I am also much less concerned about jailbroken LLMs, because Alexa is already so broken it can't get much worse. Normal users don't seem to care much about potential misuses (compare with search autocomplete biases of Google) as long as a service works for them. But unless you widely deploy a tool, you won't uncover how it is abused (see Sidney's launch).
Vehicle tax should arguably be relative to the amount of road tear caused by said vehicle, aka weight to the fourth power.

I used streeteasy[0] almost exclusively during my home search. They label every listing by home type (co-op, condo, townhouse, etc)

I don't think I found a condo under 800k, while there are plenty of co-ops across the boroughs, including Manhattan, in the 300-800k range.

EDIT: just noted you said "in another place". In my experience it's very hard to find this information in America outside NYC without investigating individual buildings.

In the chain below you are kind of talking past each other.

So let me try to clarify what the other posters are saying to you.

It's not that pay is the only thing that makes a job tolerable or enjoyable. It's the fact that compensation/rewards do not necessarily follow nor reflect the work done.

So in the above cases, you do more work outside your intended role and find some kind of optimization that saves the company 250k/yr. And you make say $80k/yr. You have now provided almost 3x your salary in terms of economic value to your company but if they do not provide an economic reward for this effort, it acts as a demotivator. Though there could be other things that make the job tolerable or enjoyable, you potentially now are dealing with a poisoned pill. Nothing can counter that poison of being rewarded for such improvement than a good job, what else have you done for us today?
Yeah my Frontier, which is only a mid-size, is so stiff I can feel absolutely everything. Washboarded logging roads, on which this truck spends much of its time, can be a chore as the truck bounces and jumps around. But because it’s tuned so stiff, it also hauls nearly as much as a 3.3L F-150.

That said, I can’t imagine using a truck as a daily driver if I lived in a city. The turning radius on my truck is terrible, for example, making tight turns impossible.
Yup. And strict mode tends to guide devs towards better code/API design. Stuff like function/method overloads with dynamic argument types might seem convenient when the types are loosey goosey, but it usually becomes obvious they’re probably a bad idea when you have to specify the types upfront.
We've already gotten it working! https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5027

The only reason we haven't merged it yet is we need to sort out a high level "app api" thing: WebGPU requires async init (as in the Rust async feature). The PR above solves this by making our plugin init async. This is the most straightforward, but it makes people put `.await` in their app init, which we're not sure is the right call yet. We're discussing alternatives that might "encapsulate" the async.
Strongly agree!

This post so wonderfully blends a hypothetical with where we really are, what computing has in fact become. Computiung is in fact vanishing, hidden inside massive data centers (temples) & behind firewalls. Applications offer packaged consumer experiences, but actual computing recedes, gets further off, & few people experience it. Real connection to computing is slow & takes concentration & will to develop; it's not fast.

This project to invert common conceptions actually reveals a lot of truth.

The final summation is great.

> So, what is the "essence" of computing then? I'd say universality. The universality of computing makes it possible to bend it to reflect and amplify just about any kind of ideology or cultural construct.
Thanks, I just don’t know how relevant the results are under Windows though. It looks like you think the L3 “disappeared” but that just doesn’t make sense.

The original push for diversity was successfully implemented by Eliot (president before Lowell).

Lowell definitely twisted the implementation and took it in a twisted direction (notable that his beliefs were more widely held than Eliot’s), but all of that was (relatively quickly) undone by Conant (president after Lowell), and a push toward more diversity in the manner of Eliot was continued.

It is basically operating on the "column-oriented database" idea, which when applied to a game becomes the "Entity-Component-System" paradigm.

More performance thanks to cache locality, makes it much easier to write multithreaded gameplay code (remember, games are basically a big ol' pile of "cross-cutting concerns" [1]), as well as facilitating simulation-y code by allowing you to address game objects by arbitrary sets of properties.

[1]: Games often break the traditional "layers" we like to build in software architecture to enhance maintainability. That means traditionally you often get blobs of references and mutations scattered everywhere through the code. In a shooter, the visuals for a bullet need to know not only their origin and direction, but possibly the pose of any players in their path, as well as stats about the weapon, or even network latency, for a crude example.
I'm going to start repeating myself in separate replies here.

Einstein didn't predict gravitational waves as a standalone theory. Gravitational waves are a prediction of General Relativity. General Relativity was shown to be plausible based on data already at hand and data they could collect.

Gravity waves and lensing and frame dragging all confirm what we already suspected to be true. Which is good and bad news because they increase the corroborating evidence for an existing theory, and they take out huge chunks of opportunity for some other theory to explain the same phenomenon but introduce new loopholes or consequences that let us do new things like build Foundation power supplies (nuclear reactors the size of gumballs) or FTL travel or explain why galaxies move 'wrong'.
"JSX-inspired" caught me off gaurd, the only thing JSX could inspire me to do was build something so I never had to touch it again, I landed on something similar to what you have here, I call it "Elementary"

The implementation is fairly simple, given JSON returns an HTML string.

Going to the Safeway on Rainer is really on you. It does get dicey at night, but the day is okay.

One reason I would never live in "South Seattle" it's a literal food desert. The WinCo being in Kent is it's only saving grace, but even the QFC a bit north of the Safeway on Rainer - yeah.

The fun part is, all the good brands are routinely on sale/discounted heavily because the local population either does not like or can't afford it - e.g. cheeses. Always 20-40% discount on cheese.

Not so common in north outside Seattle limits, or even along the border - but yeah to go back to point -

Production Surprises Worth Investigating
Continuous operation is a key word--which indeed apparently applies the the University of Bologna--and according to Wikipedia it is the oldest continuously operating university. (It's apparently either 1088 or 1180-90 depending on your criteria--just a few years earlier than Oxford with the same criteria).

ADDED: As others note "university" is also a key word though college would probably also serve.

A career contrarian can be even worse. A career scientist actually needs to justify their output, to their peers and the people signing the cheques.

And if not career scientists, who exactly do you think should be making a living... Doing research?

Undergrads? The admins? The timecube guy? Nobody?

There's a lot of problems with science as it's done today, but that snipe is a banal, tribalistic take that is all-too-common.

Even in those companies at the higher level you need additional skills to figure out impact and opportunities (opportunity sizing, XFN alignment, communication, good writing, etc.). Interviewing mainly gets your foot in the door.

There are some genius ICs who can just code and not be concerned about these things, but more often the higher levels are people who are good at their skill along with business, data analysis, product and communication skills.
I hope they get perf down. The first game runs great on my M1 until we get to around 100K residents or so. That's not a huge number of people for a real world city, but I guess simulating traffic + pathfinding for 100K+ actors is a dicey proposition CPU-wise.

IIRC, SimCity 4 didn't have this issue but it sort of cheats by chopping the map up into multiple tiles in a region and only simulating a subset of your population. Which honestly seems acceptable to me.
> Teaching them that technology is less important than “people” is counterproductive and harmful unless you anticipate them moving to a purely PM or managerial track.

I intensely disagree with this statement. Of course technology is important, but so is (for the vast majority of tech jobs) working with people. I'm not talking about managing people, I'm talking about understanding customers and/or team members.

Teaching new developers that they need to not only be concerned with the tech they are using, but how they are using it and to what (human focused) goals, is critical to people's careers.

> Furthermore, as someone who just replaced a roof, “I did not care one whit about the shingle type” is frankly insane.

Different strokes for different folks. I found someone who'd done work for others that I could ask about, checked his references, and trusted his advice. I don't want to have to become an expert on everything, I want to delegate that (as other comments mentioned).

> Applying the point more broadly, somebody trusted in a position of authority must understand the technology, or you’ll get poor technology.

Absolutely agree. But you can also say:

"Applying the point more broadly, somebody trusted in a position of authority must understand how to apply the technology in such a way as to benefit people, or you’ll get poor results and unused technology."

That's my core point. As technologists we have a deep rooted understanding of the importance of technology. But we (myself included) often lose sight of the actual purpose of the technology and its use.
I think the issue has been worsened because it was easier, politically, to work around the problem by making mortgages more attainable rather than by doing something to decrease the value of the home.

In the short run, everybody is happy- developers make money and build houses, consumers and investors can borrow cheap money with little leverage to get a worthwhile asset, and existing homeowners see their house appreciate and can re-fi to take advantage of the cheap cash.

However, this strategy doesn’t scale. You can only make mortgages so attainable, before you get 2008 all over again.

I think inflation has been the answer- with massive inflation, we can decrease the real value of a house and make mortgates more expensive without people ending up underwater.

Of course, inflation has many of its own problems, like we’re seeing today
Yeah I have zero motivation to deal with IPv6.

I also have all my IPv4 addresses memorized, and IPv6 addresses are too long to remember with all the hex-double-colon nonsense.

If they could have turned

1.2.3.4

into

1.2.3.4.5.6

I'd probably use it, but instead they opted for some scary stuff that looks like

d0ff::eefa::0010::faff:::://::92::0

which I'd rather not look at. Product management fail.

Anyhow, IPv4 still works for me, so I have no pressing need to even try to understand these hex-colon monstrosities.

My DNS server is 8.8.8.8.

Why the hell isn't the IPv6 DNS server

8888:8888:::8888:8888?

Instead it's 2001:4680::... wtf?

i'd say you're describing something that's pretty obvious on its face.

what's not obvious is this dynamic has been going on for over a century and a half in california and the greater american west in general. the white native reaction was at first the chinese exclusion act, then japanese internment / asset seizure.

the difference is this time the legacy white property owners are cashing out (cashing in?) in a huge way in both sales and rent as asians move in, so you can expect it to continue.

it's white flight, but financially inverted. in other words.... asian gentrification.
Relay GraphQL: the choice of a stable front-end, a journey from Apollo to Relay
Hmm, that post is almost three years old -- still accurate?
I don't think it's safe to bank entirely on driving-as-transportation in old age. My grandparents and my partner's grandparents all live(d) in unwalkable places in the US, and it was hell on their families when they slowly lost the ability to drive. You somehow have to either drive them around yourself (expensive and a massive time commitment), move them in with you, or move them into a retirement community when they eventually lose the ability to drive safely around others. It's inevitable!
It is subset sum, it is definitely NP complete.
But it's in beta right now for specific cars who use it to drive around on the public roads?
Yes. It is your property, build it out as dense as you wish. There is not the demand in rural Montana to build out a 160 acre ranch with apartments. Just remove density restrictions and let people build to meet demand.
Please don't cross into personal attack, no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are. It only makes things worse.

Show HN: Argilla and AutoTrain – Train custom NLP models without code
Hi there!

I'm Daniel, co-founder of Argilla, an open-source data labeling platform for NLP. We've recently launched two integrations with the Hugging Face Hub to (1) deploy your own data labeling instance on the Hub, and (2) launch AutoTrain jobs for text classification, NER, and text generation.

You can try the whole workflow for free (i.e., Argilla Space can be deployed on free Hub instances, and AutoTrain is free up to 3000 examples

As we start building more integrations to simplify going from your own data to a trained model we'd love to get your feedback!
Right? I live in North Florida, meaning "the power will go out 7-10 times a year," so my "uptime" is not important at all, just "the thing in the bios that automatically turns the computer on without pressing the button when it recieves power"

I've been using Fly for over two years or so. The sentiment of this post doesn't align with my personal (anecdotal) experience.

The PG issues hit me two times in the previous weeks but other than that it's been working great for me.

With the move to v2 apps (using their new machines infra) things are actually faster and smoother than ever.

About a year or so ago their CLI was quite buggy but I haven't really hit any bugs in months.

I will remain with Fly for the time being. Hopefully they don't close shop!
> Embrace utilitarism.

As long as everyone else embraces it, we seem to be doomed to a market economy, that (all its virtues notwithstanding) unfortunately makes:

> Design durable, low powered and hackable computers with easy protocols to exchange data over a flakey network

not possible. As long as other people also take utilitarian approach, then the only things we can get are "low powered" and "flakey network". Durability, hackability and easy protocols are anathema to those who make money on technology at scale.
Yes. EA responded to the always online complaints by saying the game couldn't possibly run offline due to servers processing information. It was then 0 day cracked showing it was a complete lie.
They didn't, but they should. Every employee should know how the business works, generally at least.
2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson features the idea heavily (the main character is a former "asteroid terrarium designer"). The Expanse series has quite a bit of it too.
I originally got interested in middle school because I liked videogames, technology, and art. In middle school I played with game maker and a cool piece of mmo tech called RealmCrafter. That eventually snowballed into a programming obsession, a computer science degree, ~6-ish engine prototypes in various languages and stacks, a job at Microsoft, a game called High Hat (built in Godot), Godot contributions, and ultimately Bevy.

Currently I only build small jam-like games in Bevy (I participated in https://itch.io/jam/bevy-jam-1 and https://itch.io/jam/bevy-jam-2). But I plan on picking up a larger project soon. I've got the itch :)
That's great unless they were pulled off that task to work on something else. Plus now we know estimates will be used to punish all estimates just doubled. And what does Done mean? I can do a pretty terrible job but still commit "something"...

Doing that would also price out all EVs, because they are all heavy because of batteries.

2023 Tesla Model 3 weight: 3,648 to 4,250 lbs depending on trim level.

2023 Ford F150 weight: 4,021 to 5,740 lbs depending on trim level.

Most of the Model 3s sold are the dual-motor variety, because of performance and range, and most of those weigh more than the 2wd F150s.

We should build our roads to handle that and stop shaming weight. The future is going to involve heavier cars for both emission and safety reasons. Fixating on weight is a bad idea.
It depends on a few things. If you want to migrate all the data that's heavier than just, e.g., the graph part and connections. It heavily depends on the final model, required data types and overall distribution of data. This guide -> https://memgraph.com/docs/memgraph/under-the-hood/storage can help you with calculating the amount of required RAM. Also, we plan to include a simple calculator into the next release of Memgraph Lab (https://memgraph.com/docs/memgraph-lab/) coming probably this wee :)
