Check out the Miele G7000 series, I got the Miele G7156 (entry-ish model for the 7000 series) and exclusively buy their consumables (except for water conditioner salt). Calibrate your water hardness and double check your install (just in case, install techs where I live will just breeze through menus and do really dumb stuff they shouldn't like run it with the softener dry). Then set it to Quick + Intense Zone and never mess with the settings again... It just works and the time estimates are dynamic, we get ~1h4m full cycles with three washes per cycle. You can make it faster, but only by reducing intensity or reducing the wash count per cycle. It's amazing and possibly my favorite appliance purchase. As I said entry-ish, but only for their latest series, it's still luxury, and the steps up are mostly AutoDos (automatic consumable discs at a premium price), connectivity, and touchscreens. The G7156 is basic non-connected, has push buttons, has a water softener and will auto-open for faster drying (can be turned off, but I suggest keeping it on).
True, and equally, it may not be in the video.

How much of the latency reduction was due to the data services layer with request coalescing and how much was from ScyllaDB? Did the schema and other factors stay the same when migrating to ScyllaDB?
>It's really difficult to repair reputational damage.

The people who scream "Micro$oft" and "Windoze" are a vocal minority, most respect Microsoft and Windows for what they achieved and contributed (and continue to) to personal computing.

Even the whole IE6 debacle was, in hindsight, Microsoft demonstrating hands on what happens when a monopoly is left to its own devices; a lesson the personal computing world apparently failed to appreciate given the monopoly that is Chrome.

Incidentally, the Chrome monopoly is poised to further its grasp with what looks like the opening up of iOS and the subsequent death of Safari. Netscape and Firefox are rolling in their graves.

I doubt the guts of something like an Echo would be capable of containing any kind of speech to text model. It'll probably be a lot more of a concern in a few years when speech models like that are getting baked into cheap chips for consumer devices, though.
Transparency of algorithms is more enforceable than one might think. Check out “Structured Transparency” tooling.
There's a very good chance his position was indeed bullshit considering he ran an entire design agency that Twitter acquired (especially given Twitter's - terrible - design didn't even change after that fact) which seems way overkill for Twitter (why do they need an entire design agency?), however that still doesn't excuse Elon's behavior. There is a due process that needs to be followed to make roles redundant, and laughing at your employees publicly on social media is frankly nasty regardless of how bad the employee is.

Looking at his tweet however https://twitter.com/iamharaldur/status/1632913642982191105, has Twitter's design changed at all in the last 2 years, let alone for good, to justify any of this was actually valuable? It's the same UX shit-show it turned into since their last major redesign several years ago and has all the flaws of "modern" design which is making up for lack of functionality and attention to detail with copious amounts of whitespace.

Again, not blaming the employee - if he was allowed to run around for 2 years not contributing anything, it's not the employee's fault but a problem higher up the chain. But his role does sound bullshit.
Problem wasn’t IE6, it was the fact that Microsoft bound versions of IE to versions of windows. You had IE6 lingering in substantial numbers seven years after it was released due it being the only IE option for Win98. People couldn’t upgrade to IE7 unless they upgraded their machine to WinXp.

It’s the same problem with safari and iOS/macOS versions.
Show HN: Make your non-native English native
Growing up in an immigrant family, I've been asked to help family members correct their English many times.

When the ChatGPT API came out last week, I realized that it's now possible to get very reasonable results turning non-native English into native English automatically, including being able to adjust the level of formality.

I put up a demo at https://www.betterenglishai.com/ – any feedback, especially from non-native English speakers, would be very welcome.
LLMs being used for math by programmers or engineers always makes me think of the rocket that blew up because they mixed metric and imperial units.

It definitely happens in the wild as well, I’ve seen devs using copilot for napkin math far more than I’m comfortable with.
Oh good, more adoption of this exhausting trope of religious texts being called myths. Very inclusive.
It is intended to demonstrate some terminal operation to others.
For example, when introducing the cli tool in a presentation at an event.
Manual operation often leads to mishandling, so it is used to prevent this from happening.
If that's the case then the people who told them to "stay in their lane" had a legitimate reason to be defensive. Was it better for the business? Who knows since we are only getting one side of the story from someone patting themselves on the back.

But yes, I would say behaving like an interloper in your org and getting people fired because you deviate from your actual job is highly problematic. After the news gets out about that behavior you can better believe they are going to get stonewalled in their actual role.

> How ChatGPT does the calculations is a mystery.

It’s no mystery. It doesn’t do calculations at all. You really need to think of it more like am improvisor playing a financial advisor on stage rather than a financial advisor doing their work.

There are countless samples of mortgage calculation texts in its training data, so at your request, it starts inventing such a text that uses your provided number. It knows, more or less, what numbers appear around what other numbers in this kind of text at the small scale of arithmetic and large scale of mortgage calculation texts and so it seems pretty coherent at first glance.

But because you asked for a very specific thing that isn’t quite like any other in its training data, the text it includes becomes more hallucinatory and less referential. And when these hallucinations goes off the rails and no longer looks like the normal sort of mortgage calculator training text (few probably have negative results!), it starts to hallucinate the vaguely explanatory boilerplate text common around weird values.

No calculations, no feelings, no understanding. Just text completion that feels inconceivably rich compared to what we’re used to, but that is literally about on par with an professional improvisor.
It’s a little unsettling to think about how much information and knowledge is being locked up in walled-garden servers on discord, basically unsearchable (discord has a search feature, but it’s pretty awful). There’s so many communities that end up moving to it because it serves their most engaged members so well, but it’s terrible for everyone else.

For example, “Voron” 3D printers are an awesome open-source design, but more and more I am directed to their discord to ask questions - many of which were, in all likelihood, asked dozens of times before. It’s great for their engaged members, who are all super helpful - but if it’s a reddit thread I can get my answer almost immediately, rather than asking, waiting and consuming someone else’s time for trivialities.

Sites like reddit at least can be readily searched from a conventional search engine, and can be crawled and stored externally in a pinch. Discord has its place, especially for game communities or other such personal things, but I’m not sure it’s ideal compared to a conventional forum as time passes and more information is built up and either lost or hidden away.
“SiriGPT”: I put GPT-3 in iPhone and on my Apple Watch
The Parable of the Dagger
This was a legal issue during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. It wasn't even AI upscaling it was simply how modern desktop/video software fills in details via smoothing in between frames when you slow something down or process it.

So evidence pushed by one of the legal teams which tried to use a highly zoomed in shot on an iPad of a CCTV camera of a parking lot to prove (or disprove I can't remember) a gun was held was called into question. The lawyers had an IT expert which helped dismiss it.

So when it comes down to it when it matters there's still sanity.

Conspiracy theorists also didn't need tech to believe in nonsense before anyway. So it's mostly shades of grey.
My only problem with my dishwasher is that it's too slow to setup two loads before going to bed.
I recently saw the Sony MSAC-FD2MA. It's a memory stick to floppy adapter. I assume an SD to memory stick adapter would work with it. I'm curious how it works internally. How does it interface with the read/write head? How does it map logical data (files, FS) to sectors and tracks? Or if it doesn't, how does it even map a flat image file? Floppies can be formatted all sorts of ways.
In any case, your endpoints really do need to be reasonably secure in themselves - especially if the firewall isn’t yours as then you are probably sharing the network with other devices on the inside of the network that can attack you directly, and even if not, it just takes one device being compromised and somebody has full inside access to the network, with the firewall not being able to do much…
My dishwasher (LG) plays a cheerful tune to let you know when it has finished its cycle (60 mins) At least its not too obtrusive, and it only does it once.

But.... then it has a cooldown timer, and if you open the door within the next 30 mins it LOSES ITS SHIT at you, beeping and carrying on because the dishes haven't finished drying.

I mean... Why play the happy tune to announce to the world that you've finished... when you actually haven't.
> Does it include some sort of Windows compatibility layer to assist with porting and feature parity with the Windows version?

No, but you’re not far off — the “new experience” is built on web technologies, a la VSCode.
So I think the big question would be what would be that threshold, and that would mostly be dependent on what is the CCPs main goal.

If it is some ideological goal then I agree the threshold might be impossible to get to, but if the goal is to become the worlds super power than a few strategic nukes can definitely makes a big impact.

Now I don't view the CCP as being fanatic, they have power based goals, and if those goals are made impossible by a few nukes then that should change things.

How many parameters and parameter-links are needed to model thinking? I've seen one number, 88B plus for modeling the brain's neurons. And there is that blue brain project. An author commented in an interview on her book that language is the skin of the mind. When IBM was using the Think-X branding before selling off bits of itself, what was the IBM culture/tradition saying to itself on modeling thinking?
> I also don't see violent revolutions being a possibility with all the societal level monitoring and controls all countries are putting in place

In the world you're describing, they're not just possible, they're inevitable.

Consider the implications of automation taken to the extreme. Today, we have capitalists who own the means of production, and workers who use them to produce value. Workers don't get a fair slice of the pie that they make, but they get some of it at least because labor is needed for capital to be useful. The system is unfair overall and popularly perceived as such, but most people aren't pushed far enough that violent revolt would be rational and feasible.

But if means of production that don't require workers to operate them become dominant, and lots of workers become outright economically redundant, it will literally be a question of what do their children eat tomorrow. And, well, there's a lot more labor; whatever societal monitoring and control tech you devise, it won't help you if 90% of the population realize that the only way they won't starve is if they forcibly take what the other 10% has hoarded.

Not only that, but should that happen, the torches-and-pitchforks mob will target the people on the bottom of the upper class first, simply because they are more prominent in day-to-day interactions, live closer, can afford less security, and don't have ready access to escape routes (like a private plane or yacht). For some vivid descriptions of how this works out for the people who can't escape, read about the 1917 Russian revolution.

So unless you're already comfortably upper class - enough so to afford a bunker in New Zealand or similar arrangements - this doesn't sound like a good long-term survival strategy to me. Indeed, I would argue that, among white collar workers, it's precisely the high middle class people that have the most vested interest in "saving the world", in a sense of coming up with a new economic consensus that would prevent the above scenario - we have to, if we want a safe future for our families. And I don't think it is at all impossible for a political alliance of all labor across the board to push this change. Our societies are bad at democracy, generally speaking, but supermajorities still matter.
This just isn't true. There has never been enough global supply for China AND the rest of the world. If there was, why (as you stated) would they be setting up net-new manufacturing of it?

That, coupled with the fact that the Chinese population have resisted getting vaccinated meant that it was never a viable strategy to purchase billions of doses and open up. The only option they had was COVID-0 style strategies.
What if recording everything that transpires on the internet is a mistake?

Yes, I'm aware I should treat everything online as permanent anyways, but surely there's value in making the intentional choice to archive lore vs just recording everything.

Chat has always been ephemera, whether it was on AIM, IRC, or ICQ. Is Discord different? (Again, yes, I'm aware large IRC servers likely archived some of their content.)

Same story, except that I have an ASRockRack EPYC board for a home router/server/NAS combo.

Fortunately, most of server boards have a built-in LOM solution with some sort of IP-KVM. So the actual video output is only ever needed for the very first time - and that's if LOM defaults are not known.

Or, well, if things break - e.g., I've had issues because management port sharing was enabled by default and I haven't realized I should turn it off until I've noticed that my server became unresponsive for IPMI-over-IP queries.

I'm a bit frustrated that I had to purchase an adapter, but at least that was an one-in-a-lifetime purchase.

The question of the blog post was whether it's viable for Mac developers to distribute apps without signing and notarizing them, and I argued that it wasn't: "This is why every Mac developer I know signs up for Developer ID and ships only signed, notarized apps. It would be financial suicide to do otherwise."

I've been philosophically opposed to Gatekeeper since its introduction more than 10 years ago, and that hasn't changed.

The mostly good news is that Apple mostly doesn't prevent non-malware developers from distributing their apps on the Mac. I'm aware of only 2 cases where Apple has intentionally abused its authority there: (1) Apple canceled the developer account of Epic Games after the famous trial. (2) Apple canceled the developer account of Kapeli after an allegation of App Store review fraud. However, the account was later restored, and Dash for Mac is currently signed and notarized. https://kapeli.com/dash
Yeah, I find claiming "virtue signaling" to be a kind of virtue signaling in itself.
I totally agree but do think it's true in terms of averages and probably true more often than not that a given individual falls within the range. After all, you can't have an industry-wide average for most roles that's higher than the value they bring in. There's also a myriad of roles that don't produce directly and are either supportive, compliance, or simply unnecessary.

> 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.

Overstaffed in order to maintain Twitter as a static service that never ships new things, sure.

I guess they've been able to ship some things that the old Twitter had already implemented and/or a/b tested. But I'm not sure those count. Meanwhile people have been paying in advance for Twitter Blue features that were promised 3 months ago.
If you buy a dishwasher with that feature. It's not standard. I know because my parents went cheap on their last dishwasher purchase because "they're all the same." About two years later I got to help troubleshoot why their dishwasher wouldn't get anything clean... the bottom of it was basically a solid layer of rotten food particles.

>Unfortunately, we just couldn't back down from the demands to have a discord server

Except you could've, and still can. People need to learn how to adapt. There's no reason a Discord server is necessary for distributing and discussing anticheat software. Thousands of much larger, more important projects are doing just fine without Discord™ servers, and part of it is the people with influence putting their feet down at the mention of Discord, a glorified spyware platform populated with the socially deprived. Discord is rarely ever a key piece of infrastructure necessary for advertising and documentation for the majority of projects that have one attached to themselves.

> Ironically, this tells me some... awkward things about how the author relates to their kitchen.

It also says a lot about how the author relates to restaurants, where a faster dishwasher is a selling point. Faster is separately important from throughput, because if it the takes 3 hours to run the dish washer, that’s a lot of plates that need to be washed and stacked all at once for a restaurant, and a lot of dishwashers needed to handle that volume.
