Can you post on hn when the statement that reads like, "btw don't use this package if you're not cool with breaking changes every four days" leaves your docs? I pretty much immediately decided I wasn't cool with that, even though bevy looks like a really interesting project.
8 GB DDR4 is 20 euro. Another 20 for basic SSD. Raspberry PI I found does not have a case, no CPU heatsink, no power supply, no SD card... And running system out of writeable SD card is another joke!

Not sure how I would "fiddle" with installing Linux distro. There is nothing out of spec, very common intel hardware. With PI3 and Raspbian, my keyboard did not work, because Pi does not support USB 1.1 correctly!

This system idles around 5 watts, depending on peripherals. Max consumption for PI4 is 15 watts.

Celeron in this system is a good CPU for small servers. Look at Serve The Home reviews. But main reason are peripherals, you get Intel chipset, Intel network card, Intel USB and so on.

You do not have to deal with shitty chinese chipset from TVs! It does not even implement spec correctly! Initial revision of PI4 would not even power up, because most basic USBC power delivery (single resistor) was botched!
No you've shifted the framing to "protect all users from seeing anything offensive" to trivialize it, but the concerns in the article include targeted harassment campaigns and CSE. Which they definitely have responsibility to prevent.
Coming from Ada and its bounded integer and floating point (and fixed points, in the standard) operations defined by type, with explicit conversions, I disagree. The correct typing of variables of physical characteristics and their operators has saved my ass so many times, and the use of static and runtime checks is a boon in scientific code. Sadly our internal math library isn't amenable to dimensional analysis, or it would also be another great bug buster. Look up 'gnat' https://gmpreussner.com/research/dimensional-analysis-in-pro... and follow the links.

Of course nobody prevents you from using Float, Long_Float, Integer everywhere, but it is actually discouraged. Define a specific type. Is it a count, a speed, a quantity of apples, a modular value (i.e. you actually want wraparound semantics), what is its minimal value, its maximum value... The actual binary representation is more of an implementation detail (and can be coerced to do many, many things through 'aspects' or pragmas or just representation clauses.

If I could change one thing there, it's the operator visibility rules, which a perennial compaibt of the Ada developer. But, to dissent from my Adaist brethren I'd ask the standard to go to more explicit operator choice. Make it explicit in the code and for those with RSI make the IDE do the inference and print it in the darned code. Please?

There's definitely a correlation. But not having layoffs just doesn't mean no outages.
I don't think that's a valid competing hypothesis.
Let me write what I understood from what you said:

- There is some behaviour that we want the model to show, and the inverse we do not want it to.
- Both are learned in the massive training phase
- OpenAI used RLHF to suppress undesired behaviour, but it was ineffective because we have orders of magnitude less RLHF data.

That would imply that RLHF would slightly suppress the 'bad' behaviour, but it still would be easy to output it.

This is disproved by what the post is trying to explain: We see _increased_ bad behaviour by using RLHF.
The post agrees with the premise that both good (wanted) and bad (unwanted) behaviour is learned during training. But it's proposing the 'Waluigi effect' to explain why RLHF actually backfires.

Now, tbh it does rely on the assumption that we are actually seeing more undesired behaviour than before. If that was false then it would falsify the Waluigi hypothesis.
you're right, though it's a prevailing truth in economics, and thus whatever bullshit they come up with influences how markets work, it's true.

We have one of the entry-level Epson models (L455 [1]) at our hackerspace.

Pros:

- Prints are really cheap

Cons:

- It doesn't print photos well

- It makes a huge mess if one isn't careful while refilling (I'd even wear disposable gloves these days)

- The heads clog often since we don't use it frequently enough to keep the ink flowing

Still, so far so good. We've had it for almost 8 years and it looks like it'll keep chugging along for a couple more.

You keep repeating that in multiple threads. I've been on Mastodon for 5 years now and i've yet to see any. I'm not saying there isn't anything, but "flooded" it isn't.
This submission comes across as an ad. No ground breaking new tech here. Just a company claiming to be one of the good guys.. for a price.
Most people are not downsizing by such massive amounts though. The median home price is only $470kish and people aren’t going to accept massive quality of life drop..I.e. very few people are selling $470k homes to buy $150k homes. Thus the gains will be much smaller..

and with a $1M house should have a sizeable 401k specifically so they’re not relying literally on the housing market to retire. Any number of events could cause the same scenario you mentioned.. so I’m pretty much any realistic scenario for most people, tax deferred investments dwarf the small boost you get from buying a slightly cheaper house.

And having more $250k houses now means it’s easier for everyone else to build up a retirement plan.

>return as “consultants” and charge very high rates to fix issues as they occur.

Elon Musk has a rock-solid reputation of paying his bills, after all.
> How would you regulate people when they shirk any accountability?

This happens with or without AI. It's not too hard to make an algorithm that discriminates against people without doing so explicitly. You can use certain bits of data as proxies for whatever characteristic you want to discriminate against (e.g. ZIP code, household income, marital status, etc).

Due to the myriad of ways to arrive at a discriminatory conclusion, it's easier to regulate results than tools.

One potential solution to your question is to make the laws carry strict liability (I'm assuming the EU has something along those lines). Plausible deniability no longer exists because intent doesn't matter. The company is liable if someone can demonstrate discrimination, regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental.

That ends up pushing towards something similar to what you want. It encourages a tool that can show its work to fend off lawsuits without being directly tied to the tool itself. The other alternative is extensive testing to make sure discrimination doesn't happen, but I think that will still be worrying to companies due to the inability to prove a negative.
Lard is very much food, it has been a staple of many cultures diets for a long, long time. People here in Central Europe spread it on top of sourdough bread and top with sliced leeks.

I had a coworker whose previous career had been as a pastry chef. She worked at a hotel and told me that she'd topped out for income and it was somewhere around $50k/year. After learning to program (and I think she did a boot camp in the earlier days) she started programming. She now programs (not, I think in the finance part of the company though) for an investment firm you've heard of. She is easily past 6 figures.

Imagine you have an idea you want to develop - you already need to commit a substantial sum of money to rent a workshop.
It used to be that you could do stuff in your parents' garage, but nobody can afford such a luxury today.

Then you have corporations setting up so called maker spaces, which the real reason for them is to steal ideas from people who can't develop them themselves.

The idea is that even if you come up with great idea you could never make more money than from regular employment.

Big corporations have been lobbying for these for years, so that it is ensured by the system that competition never grows without control of big corporation, investment fund or banks and that the entrance to the wealth club is closed.
3.5% down is not ridiculous if you are being realistic about what you can afford as a first time purchase (and certainly better than 20%).

I totally believe it, but it is just so wild to me that it has gotten to the point where we can somewhat confidently say that most Americans just do not cook at all.

I just don't even understand how that works, even if you have enough income, how do you have enough space to like store all the trash for the week?

I have one of these. So far so good. It works with Linux as a printer just fine. I'll have to see if I can scan over the network with it. (the ET-2850) They are more than other printers up front, but I suppose that's to offset the cheaper ink.
Yes, but it is also good to be warned as a community about companies that exhibit these dark patterns.

The distinction is subtle:

- minimum 12 months, then month-to-month

- annual plans billed in 12 monthly installments, which will always be extended by another 12 months

> I little reorganization yielded a $385,000/yr cost optimization.

And your reward for that was? Were you rewarded? Did they give you 30K as a bonus? Or was it just the weasel words of "this will be considered favourably at performance review time."

I am aware of about a 50K a year in cloud waste. But in my org, I know I won't get anything for reporting it as I am not going for a promo (promos pay a lot less than job hopping where I am), so it is not worth it to even write a ticket for it.
Quitting smoking is something most smokers fail at, so not a great thing to generalize. Also I consider smoking far easier these days as a much smaller number of people do it and there is more social friction.

We are in the 1960s smoking phase of bad diets. It is hard to escape terrible junk foods at just about any place that serves anything edible.
In a well-functioning city, a head chef should be able to comfortably afford to rent a 2-3 bedroom apartment within walking distance of their restaurant. They should not be spending 1/3rd of their income and only getting a studio out of it.

Are these outcomes unintended?

Hierarchies need hierarchy. Economic apartheid is one of the most common - and least questioned - ways to enforce hierarchy.

It's the usual problem of defining the difference between a progressive and a regressive economy. Regressive economies claim to be about "freedom" but in practice it's a very selective freedom that benefits a few small sectors and acts as a brake on innovation, development, and entrepreneurship for everyone else.

Consider all the businesses that could have been started by talented people currently spending all of their income on rent. It's a brittle, oppressive outcome.

Progressive economies rely on wealth redistribution to create something closer to a genuine meritocracy.

There's a whole PR industry devoted to denying this, but it's not a coincidence that the US was a powerhouse of innovation when redistributive taxes were at their highest. And has stagnated as economic apartheid has become more entrenched.
If you combine that with looser zoning regs, the higher rents will make building more housing more lucrative.
First, The idea behind housing as a retirement plan is that eventually you cash out that retirement plan, not take it to the Grave. If you never sell, or buy only equivalently priced houses, it's not really helping with your retirement.

Second, if you buy a house for a million dollars and sell it for 500K, it doesn't matter if you can buy an equivalent house for 500K, you are still 500k in the hole on the balance sheet.

Poster appears surprised that home vales are based on "demand outstripping supply". That's what any value of anything is based on. That's the basics of economics. Housing goes up because there are more people that want a home than there are homes. Everything else is just noise.

Oh, consumers have figured out that we will charge them hefty for ink. Well, we have to find another way. How about every year mandatory ink sponge cleanup for $100 and we software lock it? Or some other hook like that?
"was"? When?

Federal DTI maximum for mortgages is 45% with a good credit score and/or cash reserves. For apartment complexes, they typically won't lease, or will require a bigger deposit, if your gross monthly income isn't 3x the rent (which typically means it's 40%+ of your net income).

If 25% 'was' house poor, then at least 90% of today's mortgage-holding and rent-paying Americans are house poor.
Depending on the jurisdiction, the taxes are what get you. The mortgage looks cheap but pile on another 3.5% of the assessed house value per year and it’s not fun.

That being said - I think it’s good to get a property of your own as soon as possible. The rent situation is only getting worse.

Participation in a nationwide broadband performance test run by NetMicroscope
A lot of this is discussed by strong towns. What is appreciating is the land underneath the house due to supply and demand. The physical house depreciates over time.

They discuss numerous solutions like abolishing zoning laws as well as changing tax code to tax the land and not the value of the home.

I’m still optimistic that technology will disrupt building costs and totally change our options. Imagine if we could buy a 3d printed home for 50 percent of current costs.

Signed and unsigned should both go, there should only be wordN types (word8, word16, etc) with two's complement semantics.

Then you can have explicit functions for the operation you want: signed_mul(), signed_less_than(), unsigned_greater_than(), add_assume_no_overflow(), etc.

Ask HN: Self-Employed folks, are you earning a living wage from your work?
This is a very vague question but it was prompted after reading about this [1] topic yesterday. The author mentioned it took them 5 years to get to $1000/month.

This made me think about a distinction, although I'm having trouble putting my finger on it.

One kind of a self employed person is a product developer/seller and the other is selling services/consulting. (And I'm sure there are more if we further down.)

To me, it seems like 'The odds of success are very low for a startup' and other related wisdom is usually referring to the product based solo entrepreneurs.

I'm curious to know what are the experiences and how hard is it to earn a decent* income doing the consulting/freelancing/contract based 'renting out my time' approach?

I'm hoping to hear someone insights into people's experiences, and possibly comparisons to going down the product path. The end goal would be to work for yourself.

* - `decent` could be defined as within 50% of the income you could earn by working for someone else. It's vague, and not really a constraint for this discussion.

Thank you for any comments and experiences.
You're describing a "heads I win, tails you win" situation with no down payment. If the house drops in value, the borrower walks away and "wins". If the house appreciates in value, the borrower stays and the bank receives X% interest, on time, in full, for 30 years and "wins."
AWS is probably among the priciest options.

Yea. It's "cool" in concept but there is nothing information-wise about the game. Does it fix the problems of CS1? Does it introduce new features? I want to be excited about it, but there is nothing to be excited about. Getting excited about a single trailer will just lead to disappointment later.
Yes, at least in smartphone displays. I believe the closest competitor is LG, and their displays are noticeably, visibly worse.
Don't forget the opportunity cost of that $200K of equity. If that money invested earned 5%/yr on average that is another $10K/yr bringing your $700/mo to $1,533/mo. If you sell at $450K after 30 years, that mostly just makes up for that opportunity cost (30yrs at 5% would be 432K).
I've played with Cities: Skylines off and on many times over the years and often do give up in frustration with endless traffic problems, but I think it's down to two main things: one, traffic management is very much "endgame" type content, as you can build a nice self-sufficient little zen garden community without really worrying about it much. But to get big cities it must be dealt with. And two, once you've already built a city, it's way harder to implement good traffic flow. This is painfully evident all the time in the real world.

Now I use a mod to unlock all the map tiles (actually, the entire map) at game start, and I build specifically around my envisioned future transportation needs. It's still a challenge, and I highly recommend the traffic management mod mentioned elsewhere in these threads, but it is not an insurmountable one.
An aside. I think people care about speed. An MIT degree finished in four years is more impressive than one finished in 8
What's a reasonable cost depends on your means. And I can get an (ultra processed) 800g sliced wholemeal loaf for less than 2 USD. There are other cheaper ones too.

> A quick search leads me to believe that head chef pay in Seattle typically ranges from about 90k-110k per year.

This doesn't sound right to me. Maybe it's true for the very fancy quasi-Michelin places like Canlis or Shiro's, but for a nice-but-average gastropub in Cap Hill it's probably much less.
And half the assertions are at odds with what computers are and can do rather than just our culture around them.
That whole situation is gross.
> if you're within a mile of a major district with tons of food, entertainment, and culture

If you're within a mile of _that_, it seems reasonable to define the housing in that area as "prime" and expect it to cost a lot more than further away. The fact that rents for that housing has a cost that is prohibitive for the vast majority of people doesn't seem odd to me.
> I can see that studios, though relatively expensive, range around $1.5-2k a month.

Is that all? That's crazy cheap by the standards of my area. Where I live (a smallish city in western US), the cheapest housing you can find, in the least desirable part of town, starts at $1200/mo.
