Not sure why it has a perception of being abandoned. IIRC, it still has a considerably larger team compared to other real dying products. Also it has a clear role inside the Google Workspace. It's obviously prioritizing enterprise users, but it doesn't necessarily mean public groups are being shut down anytime soon.

VCs with no personal skin in the game have funded what is essentially addiction engineering. It’s wild that the industry does not seem to have the awareness to understand or care about this. People are getting paid fat salaries to figure out how to covertly manipulate users into abdicating their attention and time to wholly isolated, disconnected, and malnourishing behaviors.

Now the techies are concerned with the mental health crisis.

Ask HN: Restricting cell phone use in a classroom setting?
Is anyone aware of any successful policies or technological solutions that have discouraged or prohibited cell phone use in a classroom setting?

Teachers are spending enormous amounts of classroom energy policing cell phones - I'm wondering what others have seen as solutions in their local area schools?

> a handful of experts spotted unusual patterns in the data

> a year later ... they detailed an unusual and complicated method [for processing the data]

regarding which a team claims:

> [We] proved basically mathematically that the raw data are not measured in the laboratory; they are fabricated

So multiple different peers have pointed out multiple different times that this team is publishing "exactly the results you'd want to see to confirm superconductivity", and then a year later publishing fake-looking raw data or overly-complex "data processing" that magically gives them the exact result they needed to get published. These guys don't even seem particularly good at their fraud:

"We just made the most important discovery in the history of superconductivity!"

[Immediately]: Okay but what about all this bullshit here?

"Oh that? (nervous laughter) ha ha, well, see, the thing about that is ... [a year later] ... there, see, here's the raw data; we were just processing the data in a way we never mentioned before. We didn't tell you about it because, um, well, um, we ... forgot?"

[Immediately]: Okay but this raw data is obviously fake
"Oh, well, um, psych! We were just kidding about that result! Ha ha ha, take-backsies. Um yeah, we take it back."

[A year later]

"Hey we did the result again! This time it's for real serious realsies. We have the result here. We did the result thing again. It's the exact same result but better this time. Guys?"

Why is anyone taking them seriously?

Lying in a professional context is basically never OK. If someone is shown to be lying, they should never work in that field again, nor any field that bestows upon them any sort of trust. Lying is a big deal; it should absolutely be career-killing. It's not something people just do once and then get over. A few weeks ago people on Hacker News were talking about how to help their children cheat at school, like it's just a normal thing. It absolutely blows my mind that this would be seen as OK.

Ask HN: Why does OpenAI wants us to move away from text-DaVinci-003?
Here's what they mention:

> Because gpt-3.5-turbo performs at a similar capability to text-davinci-003 but at 10% the price per token, we recommend gpt-3.5-turbo for most use cases.

Is capability to support trained models only additional advantage of da-vinci-003?
That is kind of irrelevant if you are running a Ruby application. And I think that if a developer is looking to start working on a new web server where performance is a significant concern, they are more likely to look at Go, Rust, or even JavaScript rather than either Lua or Ruby.
You're assuming the drive doesn't do something smart when it detects it's being filled with zeroes. It could at least in theory decide to do the same thing it does when you TRIM a sector.
The good news is that 1 GPa (10 kbar) is a lot easier to achieve than hundreds of GPa, which means that replication will be much easier. The previous "room temperature" claim involved around 2 Mbar or 200 GPa. For comparison, the detonation pressure of a high explosive is around 50 GPa. So, hopefully, this time, we won't have to wait as long.
FWIW, If you don't require the single-pane management, some scenarios can be simplified by deploying additional individual clusters/instances with separate access rather than controlling only via policy.

Mentioning since I've def seen people get stuck and forget to consider the obvious.
Wow this looks really nice! The AI-grouped (and described) file changes is something I have never seen before, and I thought I'd seen everything in code review.

A lot of what you're doing is similar to what I've been trying to achieve with CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com) which brings Google's code review workflow (Critique) to everyone using GitHub. It's not doing any of the AI stuff, just focusing on conversation resolution, managing assignment, and giving a much more "power user" UX to the whole thing.

If you ever want to chat about code review, just shoot me an email.
It's a question of which causes are the more important ones. For example, the rise in Varroa mites is probably a secondary effect caused by insecticides, but which insecticides? Colony collapse disorder is a thing, but nobody is 100% sure what is causing it yet.

So the scientists say "we don't know". Which is true... but it is very clear who is causing it. It's us. Humans. It doesn't really matter if it's the chemicals that we make in the millions of tonnes specifically to kill insects, or the ones we make in the billions of tonnes to do other things which happen to kill insects, or the ones we accidentally create as byproducts which happen to kill insects, or whether it's because we're destroying the wilderness that they need to survive, or it's something we don't know yet.

E.g. vultures in India are doing very badly. It's humans, but it's by accident.

Some Indian religions practice "air burial". They let vultures eat the bodies.

Dying people often feel unwell. They take painkillers. Paracetamol is cheap. India is poor. People take a lot of paracetamol and then some of them die.

Paracetamol is toxic to vultures.

It's still humans, but it's indirect and accidental, but it's 100% our fault.
>I don't think it's impossible to come up with arguments against them. For one thing, extrapolating the current gradual rate of progress forwards means that we will get to see several minor "intelligence spills" before the hypothetical big and last one, and by observing what went wrong, humanity will have the opportunity to come up with solutions.

This works with Whisper behind the scenes and it is true: running Whisper locally it is easy and this may not be needed (it even adds overhead, since Whisper gives me the .srt file directly, I can ask to use the tiny model to make it faster, etc).

BUT if my brother (accountant) needs something like this, he wouldn't be able to install Whisper: he wouldn't even be able to open Github. So I think frontend GUI that behind the scenes runs models are always welcome.

I think this would be much better if it would run Whisper on their server instead of using an external API, but that's their decission.

So first, you didn't call the comments "objectively wrong" you called them deranged.

Deranged:
1) Disordered; especially, disordered in mind; crazy; insane.
2) disturbed or upset, especially mentally
3) insane

It's not "my assumption," that it's a personal attack, it's the english language. An idea can't be disordered in mind, disturbed mentally, or insane. Only a person can be.

Second, go back and reread your comments and omit the derision. It adds nothing at all to your argument, in fact, it's much more compelling without it.

I just don't care enough to argue with you about the meaning of "communal" to try and change your mind. Your language choices clearly signal me that you're not open to changing your mind. Instead it signals that you're more interested in dunking than engaging. The Coddling of the American Mind is not about hacker news or my personal choice to ignore you for being rude. It's about institutions. If you want a more relevant book to this conversation, I'd suggest How To Win Friends and Influence People or The Elements of Rhetoric -- How to Write and Speak Clearly and Persuasively.
in their defense, there's a lot of value there. As i commented elsewhere here, I'm frustrated that this particular thing isn't running the transcription locally, but this is a _massive_ improvement on what the "tools built by smarter people" built.

Sometimes "good looking gift wrapping" is a huge value unto itself. Also, it isn't fair to good UX and UI developers to imply that that isn't also really hard work to get right. It's just different work using a different form of thinking. Not lesser in any way. And... without the people who could make the "good looking gift wrapping" most apps would suck a lot harder than they already do.

> * Cost of living only works for so long. We've seen areas in the last decades that have an influx of population and they usually see a corresponding increase in COL. There are approaches governments can take to slow down the growth of COL, but it seems inevitable.

COL increases because it is difficult or impossible to build new housing, and because single-use zoning requires creating massive amounts of infrastructure since it is illegal to build work and shopping near where people actually live. In addition, taxing property value disincentivizes developing land, leaving empty lots in even the most valuable places to build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJqCaklMv6M
Software developer on the product here, I handled parts of the storage backend on this one and it presented some fun challenges.

Waldo already had features to stream logs and requests in the Sessions (Previously named "Live") view of the application and to save them so that they can be downloaded during automated tests but both features were heavily scoped toward their specific usage and Sessions meant that we needed to save all of theses in a way that we could keep them forever and show them as fast as possible when a replay is requested (With the ability to seek into them and advance all of that in sync with the video).

The previous storage was a JSONL text file (One log entry per line in JSON object format) but there was no way to use it as-is in a web viewer and get it to be fast-enough.

The full system log of a session can be up to 1Go of data (It's essentially logcat output in JSON format for android) that need to be filtered and accessible in small batches both by index when scrolling and by time when seeking the video.

Our current solution is based on having compressed Apache Arrow Columnar Format (IPC files) as long term storage and a server that caches filtered versions in-memory and full versions on disk when requested, along with a client that can load subsets of theses arrow files (Using apache-arrow npm package)
Why are you conflating scientific research (something that is paid), with art that was freely uploaded to social media sites and message boards?

Microsoft Designer is not spitting out composites of stolen research, it is creating composites of art that can't be matched back to the original.

> If artists are being robbed by corporations, then they can get in line if they want a payout, because the rest of us are being robbed too.

Perhaps you should disclose what AI is stealing from you. For me, nothing, because my career is in an area where I don't have to publicly share my work.
"store them for debugging purposes" is a bit concerning if they then become available if law enforcement requests data, or if you guys are hacked and everything leaks.
I thought that's what "single-family zoning" means: a requirement to have nothing else besides single family houses. Eliminating this category of zoning means you can no longer mandate "only single family houses".

I'm unsure if zoning laws behave radically differently, but I'm thinking the best model is what they have in Japan:

http://urbankchoze.blogspot.com/2014/04/japanese-zoning.html

Things that can only be built in "low rise residential" zones can still be built in "neighborhood commercial", etc. See chart:

Well, profits or VAT. Even more if you make some actually sane VAT that discounts all VAT paying expenses and all labor expenses.

I'm not sure any VAT on the world fits that description, but it is the one way to make them work as well as profit taxes, but as easy to tax as any other VAT.

Unless your plants are made out of pure diamond, they also need to gain hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen in weight.

But you are part-right, carbon is ~35-50% of a normal plant's weight.
Because it makes everything cost a lot more money. Your industry is not competitive and it declines. Other countries move ahead and exploit your weakness for their advantage.

An NNTP server and an IRC server?

I understand that Google Groups was a really nice interface to NNTP, and all the real-time chat apps have better UX than IRC, but it seems like now is a great time to "go back to basics". Maybe IRC and NNTP would get some great client improvements if a bunch of open source groups settled on it?

In short, no, no, and no.

If my DAG tool says "I can't handle this, use Spark" I'm throwing that tool away. This is not an exotic Big Data problem, it is extremely pedestrian and common. It's just not reasonable to punt and say "go adopt some 10-million-line behemoth" as a solution. Spark is cool and all but if you're not using it, adopting it is a massive step. The simple answer to "why rely on the orchestrator to handle it" is that that is literally what the orchestrator is for.

> To make it more concrete, say your upstream files change to have 10x smaller chunks, and 10x more files -- does the same orchestration system make sense? Are you going to start polluting the set of tasks?

This should be handled very smoothly and transparently, and Luigi for example succeeds in doing so. If I tell my framework "generate a task for each input chunk, and run with 4 threads" then it just doesn't matter how many tasks get generated. I routinely run Luigi programs with thousands of tasks generated in this manner. What's funny about this is that your hypothesized scenario actually happened: the system we exported this data from decided one day to radically decrease the chunk size / increase the chunk count, without telling us. I didn't have to change my code at all! In fact I didn't even notice for a like a month.

Mapping N chunks onto M tasks breaks catastrophically when you start thinking about resumption. Let's say I have a simple DAG: [invoke export] -> { task per chunk } -> [finalize]. As long as each chunk task has a deterministic name/identity, completion state can be tracked for it. Thus if the enclosing job terminates unexpectedly, we can easily resume from where we left off simply by starting the job again. If there's no correspondence between inputs, tasks, and outputs, you can't do it, not without pushing state tracking into user code, which defeats the purpose of the framework.

Reasonable people can disagree here. Again, Airflow chose not to support this for a long time. But it's not a coincidence that I decided in 2016 that Airflow was pretty useless to me. Dynamic DAG shape was and is a bare minimum requirement for me, and is one of the first things I test with new tools.

Even if you don't think this is a great use case, or your sweet spot, it's important to realize that it is very, very common, and when your users hit it they will look up how to deal with it. When the answer is "we can't help you here" that's extremely disappointing, and that will motivate users to leave.

Maybe the best overall advice I can give you is "spend some time using Luigi" and understanding its model and what it enables. It is absolutely not a perfect tool (in particular, depending on Tasks rather than Targets is probably a design error), but it is the only one I've truly been successful with. Looked at a certain way, it is radically more powerful than most of its competitors. It's sad that it gets overlooked just because it doesn't have a built-in cron or a fancy web UI.
