Would similar reasoning apply to cars?
I think it's a two sided chicken and egg type problem: we can only buy what's on our shelves but - having personally come from a country that's hardly famous for its cuisine - I think American food culture ranges from poor to nonexistent. The bar for agricultural and processed products that the average consumer recognizes as edible food is shockingly low whether we're talking about bread or what passes for tomatoes here. There is plenty of ultraprocessed rye breads in Europe, for example, that are far more nutritious and produced at similar industrial scales because most consumers would recoil at the thought of eating Walmart's value brand of sugar bread.

Here in Southern California there are plenty of food desserts that sit adjacent to immigrant enclaves that provide critical mass for amazing grocery stores with a wide variety of higher quality, cheap produce and a diverse collection of nutritious processed and ultraprocessed food simply because that's the stuff that their communities demand. Replacing such a supermarket with a McDonalds would never work within these communities because most families simply don't consider fast food an alternative to their existing diets. These are huge supermarkets that are often similar in size to Costco or Walmart stores (see Shun Fat, 99 Ranch, Zion Market, etc).

We could do with a little more culinary elitism among consumers in my opinion.

I think volunteer folding will always need to compete with crypto mining, and the appeal may be further diminished if commercial interests are likely to reap the rewards.

Perhaps if there was a way to combine mining and folding, to allow participants to somehow gain a share of the output? Eg each folded protein would have a unique hash, which could then be traded?

And yes, I hate everything about what I just typed.
If you actually looked at actions, you would see that Canada exploits its people vastly more than they exploit any of the resources that exist here. Very cursory example is the price of gas, for a country with the 3rd highest reserves in the world, and the addition of a carbon tax, while inflation is at record highs, when the Canadian footprint is negligible in comparison to the amount of trees here working as a carbon sink.

If you were to look at the details, I do not doubt that it would be the same in Europe. Please don't think that any of the 'developed' countries are holier-than-US.
they are specifically pointing out that the process of RLHF, which is intended to add guard rails on the chat bots trajectory through an all encompassing latent space of internet data, has an unintentional side-effect of creating a highly characterized alter-ego that can more easily be summoned.

But you've just nailed the problem: this is NOT the convention used within Rust.

In Rust, 0.x.y would treat .y as NON-BREAKING, BACKWARDS-COMPATIBLE changes.

I don't think I'm stepping beyond the pale of reasonable engineering when I suggest that a package in the Rust ecosystem that doesn't follow the Rust semver guidance -- and doesn't EXPLICITLY STATE that they don't follow the Rust semver guidance -- is a library I won't touch.

The fact that there's so much confusion on this thread about what their semver policy actually is shows exactly why it should be stated upfront and not masked behind a generic "stability warning."
Don't worry about me. I'm fine. All that happens is that I think less of the work that talks that way. My reaction is of little impact to anyone in the end.

I mention it here, though, because the number of people who find that language problematic seems to be on the rise, and that may inform how authors write.

I have an anecdote that I personally witnessed a few years ago, which makes your claim way more probable than some here would suspect.

I was visiting Bay Area a year before COVID and stopped by in Berkeley for something, iirc was getting brunch with friends. The first thing I see after parking is a full street closure and a large crowd that looked like it was marching down the street, with people holding banners, drumming, chanting slogans, etc.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check what it was about. As you have probably guessed by now, "pet ownership is slavery" was the theme (one of the banners in the front was saying exactly that).
I would trade in my model y for a compact electric truck of similar spec and price if it existed. I live in a city and don't haul stuff most of the time, but every time I need to carry trash or dirt, make home depot runs, or move furniture I wish I had a truck.
I don't want to be too combative here, but Kurthr's comments are completely unrelated to the sentiment of most people in Japan. I don't know where they came from. I lived in Tokyo for years and still have an apartment there. You can work part time for minimum wage and still afford an apartment you can live in comfortably.

It's not going to be a US-style giant house with a green lawn, but it isn't some dystopian hole in the wall or giant share-house like non-wealthy San Francisco residents are stuck in.

You can fire up Netflix and watch some of "The Full-Time Wife Escapist" on there to see a normal small apartment in action. It's tiny by US standards, but people can live there comfortably.
The general issue of forcing recommendations and the general population not doing anything manually anymore is separate from the fact that as an individual you have lots of tools to curate your feeds on twitter/facebook/etc.

"Have you blocked him?"

>What do you do when you cash out though, live in a van? Any house you'll then buy will be at the same price level.

You rent or move somewhere with lower COL.

If selling your house is how you plan to pay for costs in retirement like food, healthcare, or leisure, you must must cash out at some point. If you have 500k less to spend on food, healthcare, or leisure, it will suck.

If you dont plan to sell your house for the rest of your life, the market value isn't relevant to your retirement. In that case you are right that it doesn't really matter.
Building a Computer with a Single Atom
No, the statement says that there will be frequent breaking APIs, it doesn't make any claim about release strategy. Releasing breaking changes on every 0.minor release perfectly fits in this definition.

Making a quick judgement based on an assumption that's provably wrong isn't really the definition of a professional engineer.
It's highly dependent on where you live. Some cities/suburbs find it easier to financially manage flat rate payments instead of usage-based. Many would argue this is counterproductive and they are probably overcharging some citizens, but the upside in logistical billing makes it worth it (for now).

Garland TX, a suburb of Dallas, has a flat rate per bin, with free curbside large item/landscaping waste twice a month. Throw your old washing machine on the curb and move on with your life!

My mother in law, lives about 50 miles outside the DFW Metroplex and pays a flat rate based on the average of her trash usage. She rolls 2 bins up to the curb once a week. She can put more out and they will take it, but if she consistently puts out more trash, they will bill her extra when it comes time to renew every year. The guys on the trash truck keep a rolling tally of your "usage" and then the office works out who needs to pay more if the customer skews towards more usage than they signed up for.

I live in Europe now and moved here last year. I pay $12 PER PICKUP for residential trash here in the Netherlands. The catch? They pickup that bin ONCE every TWO MONTHS. If I want to throw more stuff away, I need to somehow transport all my trash to the local dump, pay a fee, and unload and sort it all myself.

On a more positive note though, recycling plastic is free. Some of my neighbors generate an entire large bag of plastic every day. My wife and I fill up one bag a week. Our "normal trash" bin is usually half full when it's time for pickup.

Pricing for waste is largely dependent on the municipality as well here in the Netherlands.

I didn't say too difficult, no.

But there are so many super-local bakers around the world. Single neighborhoods are willing to pay full-time wages to a baker just so they don't have to make their own bread. Explain why they do that if daily bread-making isn't a pain in the ass.

Or is this just that you don't think I should use the word "hard" to mean "pain in the ass"? It comes out of your money/time budget either way.

I agree - fly is so easy to use (when it works) that it’s hard not to be impressed. BUT what I’ve found is that we don’t need edge compute, since our customers aren’t that latency sensitive, so it’s lost on us. It’s only a few more milliseconds to us-east-1.

I’ve heard (on HN) of a dozen different companies vying for the heroku replacement spots and yet Fly seemed to capture the attention. I couldn’t name another one off hand.

What I truly want and probably lots of other people too is Flyctl (and workflow) for AWS. The same simplicity to run as fly, but give me something cheap in Virginia or the Dalles.

I was saying that mass hysteria exists, not trying to prove this instance was mass hysteria.

That said, if a third of my class was already going to the hospital because they were "poisoned," I could very easily see myself getting overly worried about my own health to the extent where I would join them in the hospital. And I wouldn't consider myself a hypochondriac by any means.

For folks for whom this is scratching an itch, highly recommend you check out Reentry: An Orbital Simulator. It is a beautiful indie passion project trying to faithfully recreate all aspects of the 1960s space era, in which you'd go through the actual steps necessary to operate the aircraft, including the lunar lander. It's awesome in it that it tries to be faithful, like NSSP and things of the nature, while also not cutting corners in the "game-like" parts of the experience, like textures, audio design, missions, VR capability, etc. If you enjoyed this for more than a few minutes, you'll enjoy poking around in it!
This is my experience too, every time I'm looking for meaningful results, after searching my bookmarks of course.

I honestly think the engineering/ops problems are the least of their failures. They bled revenue not because of outages, but because wild policy swings and chaotic management style alienated some of their biggest customers.

If they had frozen features and left the existing policies in tact, I suspect we would have a dramatically different narrative about the layoffs. If brief interruptions like this are the worst that happens when you cut engineering to the bone, it's a good argument that is Twitter was indeed wildly overstaffed.

Instead, though, we have a company in crisis due to its mismanagement of other areas, so we're primed to view stuff like this through the lens of that broader failure.

The best PMs involve devs early and trust them to make technical decisions - including saying “no”.

I have live in 5 different states, 3 had "free" municipal trash, 2 had cheap flat rate trash. Currently, I am in Omaha and if your weekly trash fits in the generous 100 gallon or so bin it is flat rate. If you need a second bin you pay extra for just that bin.

My household typically throws away 3 or 4 ten gallons bags per week leaving the bin maybe a quarter full. The neighbors across the street are constantly having food delivered and routinely fill two bins.

I'm curious as to how the multiple submissions happen. When I submit a content that happens to have been recently submitted, I get redirected to the previous submission instead. How doesn't that happen here? They all seem to be the same URL, after all.
Their problem right now isn't adding more customers - they seem to have more than they can handle!

If I were them I'd focus as many resources as possible on making the stack rock-solid, and away from acquiring more customers or adding more capabilities.

In fact I'd try to down-scope some features if at all possible, like the example they give of disabling app deploys while they're doing platform updates.

We use fly.io at a small scale and it's worked really well for us, but the money is in customers at a larger scale who must have 100% reliability.
Not trying to argue, but do you have a source for that? I can't find any examples of handheld consumer LiDAR before Apple.
I don't think this takes into account sparse models and or fine tuning.

Also, storing data is better suited to databases than large language models I think so it's probably better to store "facts" in databases and let the language model access the database.
Coming from Delphi, I always think the same...

You could check Budibase, I build a simple customer portal for one of our customers with it.

Now I build a "real" project with Supabase for the backend and Vue.js + Quasar for the frontend. And that comes damn near this vision. Only a dragn'n'drop GUI editor is missing, but with the near zero reload-times of modern vue.js with Vite editing the GUI in code comes near.

There are of course several "frameworks" for Delphi, that offer "building webapps with Delphi and then compiling it to JS & Javascript, but I decided not to go into this direction, because Delphi paradigmns are no good fit for the web and I doubt I'm gonna find anyone else if I'm going to need more manpower.

> One of my colleagues keeps repeating “reliability is our number one feature”.

I think reliability is the #1 feature at any stage because if you're unavailable, you're at best useless and more than likely you are actively harmful because your users have an expectation.

However, if you're unavailable outside of times customers don't expect you to be there then you're not actually unavailable. This is more likely for an early stage start-up, but you don't typically choose or know when you're expected to be available nor do you always get to choose when you're unavailable.

> Article didn't mention CAFE (which is the reason for larger sizes) nor chicken tax (which makes, even if they qualified under CAFE, foreign small trucks economically non-viable).

I was pointed to the article from the just-posted Not Just Bikes video "These Stupid Trucks are Literally Killing Us", which does go over those things:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo

The point of the Axios article, which comes up at the 25m25s point in the NJB video, goes towards the point that the pickup truck has actually become less practical over the decades. And to the idea that most folks would be better served with a station wagon or perhaps a minivan.

Trucks have gone from the cargo bed being >60% of the usable length (ignoring the engine), to the (crew) cab being >60% of the useable length. Pickup trucks gone from thing-haulers to people-haulers, in which case, why bother with that form factor?
> It is commonly thought to be futile to even try to make youngsters interested in computers – they simply don't yet have the required patience or concentration. There's no addictivity or instant gratification, nothing flashy or punk that fascinates the young mind. The appreciation and understanding of computers is something that develops slowly over years, often via gateway interests such as [...] pure mathematics. The kind of people who want to settle in a monastery and dedicate their lives to science or art may also develop an interest in computing.

This part is already true about the study of theoretical computer science today. People view algorithm design, big-O, proofs, recursion, automata, Turing machines, etc. as a chore.
> Nobody bothers to do this kind of tracking because web browsers leak 100x more information by default anyway.

That's a broad assumption, and I can assure you they will due to lower costs (no need to pay data broker if you already know target, no need for extra traffic, load, etc). Also due to better targetting you get better prices per ads served.

What are the benefits to allow each device its own address if I'm going to firewall them anyway?

Why?, my concern is valid, all you've said so far is nobody cares. I disagree.

That says a lot about yourself if you resort to this sort of snarky comments, I have no wish to continue this conversation.

>a reply to a question is more likely to be correct when the character has already been described as a smart, honest, helpful, harmless, etc.

Is that actually true? FWIW I've often ran into the reddit equivalent of Gell-Mann amnesia. In a thread about some niche topic I'm fairly knowledgeable about (something I've worked on professionally for years where there's maybe 10k people globally who know it better than I do), I post a comment that gets downvoted to hell, while there's a highly upvoted comment from someone who clearly just skimmed Wikipedia and poorly paraphrased the intro article.
First, I want to say that this article was horrendous to read. I gave up on it when it hijacked the scroll.

I drive a Silverado Truck, 4-door. Why? Because when I go places, if someone else is with me, they are an adult, and so I got a vehicle that is comfortable for adults to ride in, whether they are in the front or back. Also, I don't have anyone else to rely on when I need to pick up furniture, or mulch, or wood, or anything else.

I'm also a decently-sized guy. When I have to take a long trip, I want to be comfortable. I don't want to feel like I'm riding in a go-cart for hours. I appreciate the safety of having a larger vehicle when traffic is tight.

I like having a larger vehicle. I have driven smaller sports cars, too, but they are never as comfortable as my truck.

I've only been in one accident with it. I was parked, legally, in front of my house and a woman, driving the opposite direction in a SUV, hit the curb on her right, came across the road, and ran into my truck. That's why you get insurance!

I still love driving my truck!
Absolutely. I think people don't really have a gut feeling for this, but you don't need high acceleration to get anywhere in the solar system; you just need sustained acceleration. Right now, our probes accelerate for minutes and then coast for years.

If you could sustain 1g acceleration for, say, weeks, it even makes interstellar travel reasonable. A day of 1g acceleration will get you up to about 850 kilometers per second... or, 73 million km per day. Thirty days of 1g acceleration gets you to 2 billion km/day. That's close to 1% of the speed of light.

> What's actually going on is that a LLM is like the language center of a brain, without the brain.

I’ve seen this sentiment expressed multiple times, but is that really correct? Maybe this works differently for other people, but I’ve noticed that I have to use my language to really think. I can do trivial things mindlessly, but to solve a problem, I need to express it with words in my mind. It makes me feel like the most important parts of the brain actually are fancy language models.
This is also a major shift in culture and is likely to have unexpected side effects. Maybe those side effects are good, or bad, I don't know but zoning is a big deal and complex to the point of having emergent properties that should be considered.
I really feel for Fly, as a potential customer. They are trying really hard. I would still love to use them one day and this post is definitely a step in the right direction.
