Having been in technology, antarctic research, and remote monitoring of environmental systems down there, my take: don't read into this this too much.

This is mostly a PR piece, probably pushed by the university or non-profit researchers involved. They are trying to use some sort of partnership with NVIDIA (as loose as that partnership might be) to draw attention and show they are having "Broader Impacts" for their impact statement.

Most eco research is based on historical comparisons of months/years/decades of data So the use of real-time/streaming data down there is pretty limited. You can just as easily shove the data into storage and have a researcher pick it up next time they go down (often *much* easier as you don't have to worry about powering comms systems).

Climate/weather data may be different, if only because some of the data might go into current/real-time weather models. But even there, it's probably a stretch (I know of very little work being done with anything near real-time as far as data goes down there).
That was available as a launch title for Nintendo Wii! A similar effect can be had by running "Dance, Dance, Revolution" in the hidden "Airport mode."
It's very possible that we never raised enough, or the firms we did raise from operate differently, but we did raise low $xxM and we got all of it at once, and we did in fact deposit it right into out SVB account.

I've never heard of the "just in time" funding - and if that's more common than I think I'm also very surprised that we don't hear more of the "fund committed $100M, but the business went south and they declined to fund it fully" sort of stories.
Same. It's great to have unlimited sheets and an undo button. They don't quite replicate the feeling of flipping through a notebook, but it's close enough.

I love it to bits.

Okay yes that I find much more believable. Information retrieval is pretty awesome, though I’d suggest a lot of that is due to the inferiority of the search engine business model than superiority of LLM technology. Especially if hallucinations and fake citations are solvable, this will be a killer app for sure.

Obviously generative usecases are awesome (though IMO will be practically fewer and further between than people seem to think), and summarization usecases are awesome.
Gotcha. My bad...I didn't fully understand the issue you are working.

I have every single one of those things in a <3 lb laptop, and the experience of using them is between 2 and 100 times better depending on the category. I'm confused. Is your claim that the way that they are bundled is different from the way they are bundled on a laptop? Because the only way in which this is true is that I can't block ads in music or play whatever game I want on my phone.
Unlikely.

Powell was kept on by both Trump and Biden. For all of the hoopla about "politicalization of the Fed", Powell has kept his chair.

Its not perfectly insulated. Both Trump and Biden can whisper to Powell and encourage certain behaviors. Ex: Trump pushed for lower rates, and Biden pushed for higher rates respectively.

Regardless of you think of him and his 'dumb' ideas, with 1.4 million subscribers he will probably inspire more people than work at your 'small space company' to become real rocket scientists themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if he does more for the future of space industry than most of those who currently work in it individually do.

With that said, if you find him irritating, then you find him irritating. Hard to argue with that.
You know the start up, mantra: Move fast and break things. apparently the law is one of those things.
Don't know if they "should" be, but I would certainly block anything from Facebook. I don't want to dance with the devil.
Interesting. I wonder if a cache like cloudflare could have reduced those impressions.
It's good they did the math. AWS doesn't fit everything.

Really, the main things that cost actual money in AWS are memory and CPU (that's including elasticache, RDS, etc). Bandwidth can be negotiated away. I'm sure you could do some kind of super deal on CPU/RAM, but we've never bothered.

Would it be worth it to rearchitect your app so it doesn't use 2TB of RAM? Probably not. You have a lot of sunk costs, and redoing everything will probably break everything. You guys are big enough that CapEx doesn't matter that much. You just need big boxes with lots of bandwidth.

If you're happy with what you've got, stay with it.

My first reaction is "we have no idea if the BBC actually did this for the stated reasons at all, or whether they are refusing to show it for some other reason and are blaming outside groups to deflect the blame and/or to make a political attack."

My second reaction is "assuming the BBC is not just lying, do they have reason to think some groups would oppose it, or did they just magically come up with the idea? The only entity that this article names as objecting is the Telegraph. That doesn't seem like enough all by itself. Is there anyone else specific who objected?

My third reaction is "assuming that that's true too, on what grounds did the groups object?" Neither the BBC nor the Grauniad gives any details about their objections. Just "it's right-wingers". The Telegraph link says that the episode was funded by political groups, and that doing so is not standard procedure--if so, this sounds like a completely reasonable objection.
Social networks and "apps" to the great unwashed masses are akin to giving a shiny new rock to a chimp. No think just use look nice better way tell people more bout me.
Dodd Frank did away with bail outs. It will be a “bail in” using customer deposits this time around.
FDIC limits are low. Socialized losses can definitely happen past those limits.
I have been at war with Drosophila melanogaster for years, they've so successfully invaded my house that I reckon that if a caste system were introduced into the Animala Kingdom then I'd rank a poor second to these hardy little monsters.

I'm still not sure where they come from but I reckon they breed amongst dead tree leaves—a lot which surround my property and it's nigh on impossible to completely eliminate them.

There's no doubt that Drosophila is one of nature's greatest success stories, they're smart, they learn quickly and just about anything I do barely distracts them from their purposeful goal of landing on something I'm eating or invading a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table.

Over the years I've had plenty of opportunity to watch and study my enemies' behavior as they take control of my kitchen and I never cease to be amazed at how such tiny brains which are no bigger than a poppyseed can muster so much intelligence. Methinks that if I could scale that concentrated intelligence for my own brain then I'd be a genius.

I'm not a bit surprised that Drosophila's brain sports incredible complexity. Anyone who has studied the animal for more than five minutes would have to arrive at that conclusion.

Except the only thing it has in common with the macOS version is a color scheme. Plus it hasn't been updated in years.

You don't actually get any of the things that made iA Writer for macOS so great, and all the technical issues (such as broken trackpad scrolling) are incredibly distracting, defeating almost the entire point of the app.
Then again, the most obvious way to combat this problem is to require a bunch of verifications, like providing your phone number and a scan of your passport/drivers license and a selfie and so on.

And I am happy and thankful that HN does not require all ‘at.
I think its really weird to get bent out of shape about this stuff. I doubt seriously that the author believes that "straw-man" is "harmful." Even if one did feel it was harmful, one would have to be dumb indeed to believe it was important on the grand list of harmful stuff. That said, its also harmless to modernize the idiom. When straw man was coined, women were much less a part of public life, and now they aren't. I don't see the problem updating the idiom to reflect a fundamentally less gendered world. Like clearly if you think "strawman" is harmless then you must also believe that "strawfigure" is just as harmless? Language changes for all kinds of reasons.
Usually people don't just vectorize the font and rerelease it without any modifications. Usually there's some small stylistic changes made, which most people wouldn't notice, but type designers are attuned to. So then it's a substantive change.

I think this is the logic behind the legal decision: that the glyphs put constraints on things enough that it would be difficult to navigate legally in many cases.
> If individuals are more productive, then the company as a whole must be more competitive?

This is only obviously true for rote work.

For more ambiguous knowledge work increasing task completion rate may make the company less competitive if the tasks are less aligned with the company strategy (ever seen a product became a tangled mess of half-broken features?). If you're mathemtically inclined, it's useful to model tasks as vectors adding to the company's vector of progress; the net result can be a reduction in progress if the task vector and company vector are misaligned.

Anecdotally, this misalignment is the what everyone at the middle management layer and above is worried about. You get to the end of the quarter and you realize that the work team A did was misaligned with the work from team B and now their shared business goal is shot. Many people's reaction to this line of thinking is "well that's management's fault" but, as the parent correctly calls out, that's beside the point. "Just hire more competent managers" is not something you can do en masse.
So the standard for a big company success in AI is that they have to release AGI? You must spend a lot of time being disappointed.
OTOH, how do you defend yourself/your child from smartphone frenzy, when every other kid at school has one? Are you forcing your kid into (virtual) isolation from other friends or give it up?
From what I understand, for this method to become profitable (or even reasonably close) the interest rates have to drop down to where they were when the bonds were purchased. Otherwise the bond yields will never be worth it and the price of the bond(s) continue to stay lower than what they were purchased for.

These bonds were most likely purchased when interest rates were near 0 and I don't think anyone is banking on those rates returning any time soon.

That being said, I'm going off of some basic reading I've done this morning: https://www.fbfs.com/learning-center/bonds-interest-rates-an...

When I'm in a certain kind of mood, I often long for something that's a bit "slow TV", a bit "feelgood", a bit escapist, etc. I then frequently turn to a nature documentary and really enjoy the breathtaking imagery of the deep sea or Yellowstone wildlife or whatever. Then, after about 5mins, the guilttripping starts. And I'm like "...while all that may be accurate, I've had a tough day at work, and reflecting upon why my consumption behaviour is killing lovely fluffy polar bear babies is just not what I'm in the mood for right now."

...so while all this is lamentable from a political perspective, I find it coincidentally quite agreeable from an entertainment value perspective.
It is worth pointing out that pre-2010, the internet and social media was a nice place to be. Even if myspace was kind of ugly, social media did not drive negative mental health outcomes until upvotes/downvotes and dark pattern engagements were applied to everyone.
You can't create a usable font using vectors. Just not how it works. You could vectorize a brand name in a font of your choice without repercussion though.

And yes, people make 'clones' of fonts all the time that are ever so slightly different (Arial).
It's easier when you can print money :)
According to their website, "our menu is actually good".
Same, but I went for an iPad because the software is outstanding.
Whereas with prints you're constantly building new instrumentation for yourself.

What does this mean? Formatting text differently is still text, which the parent post was just explaining doesn't cut it.
I meant "it doesn't matter which key you get, they're all the same", not "everyone has one".
Not only that but Postgres doesn't take two days to install properly. (Admittedly I'm talking a full from scratch Red Hat server with Oracle DB, Oracle managed data disks and Apex, bit still.)

IMHO that's not a solution at all. It merely creates information bubbles. I don't want diverging opinions to go into a killfile, I want mechanisms that force all users to deal with each other in civil and minimally polite ways, just like the vast majority of them already they do under normal circumstances in face to face communication.
This is 100% what prevents me from using paid fonts with views/month.

In a lot of cases, you cannot predict ahead of time what your page views are going to be. All it takes is a page to go viral on social media and you've blown through your allocation in a day. Even worse you have no idea on what the overage will be as most font licenses say "call us" if you need more than the X/month the package delivers.
KI used to bank with a small credit union in Sunnyvale, CA - it was a tech credit union (cant recall the name of it ATM)

But they used to have a sheet they posted on the wall near the tellers - this was in 2007-2009 at the height of that particular financial fraud collapse (lehman, etc)

The sheet showed how much the bank was making on over draft fees - and every time I was in the bank I would check that number - and it was stunning to see as deeper we got into that recession, how much that number increased.

They were making about 500k per month on _overdraft_ fees alone...

That said a lot about the state of peoples finances alone.

You might be “mansplaining”. Think if you may have told her things or explained things she may have already known. She may perceive you are insulting her intelligence.

Given that you have Asperger’s, this is likely something you do to everyone, and not related to gender. You probably have a lot of knowledge and it’s natural to want to share that. However you may be missing subtle clues that the person you are talking to doesn’t need or want you to teach them because they have 100% of the ability of anyone else.

Was HR involved or did she tell you this directly? I’d recommend explaining that you have Asperger’s, apologize if your behavior is perceived as offensive and ask for help adjusting your communication. Presenting this as a disability could help counter the perception of sexism by implying that others are being ableist. Don’t actually says that though. The unsaid implication will be enough to set the neurotypical person’s hair on fire.
I think your misguided in thinking someone who purchases outside the system is contributing to higher costs when you have fraud like this taking place in the government run systems let alone the private systems.

This is what happens when MBAs become managers.
> Managers: "engineers are professionals with strong opinions who will always tell me when/if they need anything to help them get their work done. Right? If they aren't saying anything, it's their own fault, right? They're adults, right?"

Managers manage and bosses react.

Some (management) people are great managers. The rest are bosses.
All languages with a simplified `for` loop have kept `while` for the other cases. That makes the old `for` just a redundant syntax.
The borrow checker is a hard hill to climb for a lot of people, to the point where many devs get to that part of the tutorial and decide to go do something else with their lives.

Seems a bit pedantic, MBS are basically bonds. The important part is the 10 year term.
D&D had way worse reps than either (maybe not rock and roll). People legit thought you were a horrible person if you played and that it warped your mind from day one.
Because there was a clear mismatch in available dev time vs what was needed, in the front-end vs backend err... teams. Thus asking the question.

As per the answer, although interest was there the situation itself didn't allow it.

There's a difference between being bankrupt and being worthless. Bankrupt means you can't pay the bills you owe today. You can have enough assets to meet the obligations but be unable to turn them into cash fast enough. Another company with cash can buy the company, use their cash on hand to pay the bills, and then sell the assets in less of a panic. If the return on those assets is worth more than the cost to buy the company and cash outlay then buying company makes money.
I've always been curious about Debuggers. How do they work? How do they connect to a program and step through it. Why can't more compiled languages integrate debuggers inside of them so that you can debug the program without using a separate tool?

And why can't we create interfaces to debuggers so that other text editors can integrate with them, much like how we do we LSPs?

*EDIT*

Thanks for all the responses! I've now heard from multiple sources that debugging on Linux is unpleasant, and it seems like the whole process is challenging regardless of the platform.
Not all of the banks got bailed out. Lehman Brothers is the one that started the panic because the feds didn't bail it out.
If we all have at least one cloud, why would we seperate out this one piece and run it in Defer instead?

I don't mean to be unkind it's a legitimate question not sarcasm.

It just seems like a subset of Cloud Functions or a subset of Lambda - without being connected to the rest or any of our existing workflow, monitoring, secrets, etc.

Yeah, although SVB's failure demonstrates a major shortcoming with deposit insurance (in its role as a deterrent for bank runs). If you have more than $250k in assets, or are worried about short-term liquidity, you're still incentivized to run from the bank.
Anecdote time: A couple of late 30 to early 40 year old friends smoke constantly since the '20s. And I mean every day, multiple joints. They claim their life is normal, I claim that... it shows somehow.

From senseless paranoia to being reclusive, and sometimes being very late/slow in grokking things, they are very different from the rest. Even from casual, weekend smokers.

I think that you can't expect to smoke 5 to 8 joints every day and lead a normal life past your '20s.
Ghstack: Auto-Update Interdependent PRs
Nothing springs to mind.

I don't want them to be adjusting their position one way or another politically - I want them to be reporting and investigating facts as far as possible without using loaded language.

However, I do have an axe to grind against the BBC as they are institutionally anti-cyclist and I've made many complaints to them over their cycling/active transport coverage. Usually they sit on the complaint for weeks/months and then adjust the original article which no-one will ever see as it's then too old.

Looks I said high when I meant low. For people who aren't in finance, if rates go up, bond prices go down: an instrument that pays 10% a year on 100 is worth less when there are new instruments paying 15% a year on 100. For the rates to match the original 100 is now lower, because that's the only way you get the same amount of interest per dollar spent buying the bond.
Human destruction of nature has been known for hundreds of years. It's not exactly controversial to say on TV in England that humans deforested Europe, drove a bunch of species extinct and covered the place in coal dust. What is it about this episode that's so inflammatory vs the other ones in the series?
