Moreso, because this solution costs $4,000 so it only needs to save one week of one persons engineering time to be a more cost effective solution than “better software engineering”.

It’s laziness, but it’s cost effective laziness.
> gas stoves are a crucial backup option for staying warm during a power outage

Isn't CO (and other combustion byproducts) an issue? When cooking a meal the duration is short enough to not matter much, but at extended durations to provide heat I would think this is a bad idea, unless you monitor air quality enough to run a vented range hood at the optimization point between unhealthy and wasting most of the heat you're generating.
cmatrix is the benchmark I didn't know I needed. Konsole seems to handle it fine, even in multiple tmux panes at once, or maybe I just can't see.
Sending the .war in a ticket. Writing upgrade notes. Waiting half a week for deployment. Did a mistake. Pray that reopening the ticket will go faster.

I remember when GitHub started saying “We deploy a few hundred times a day.”
This was a fascinating read. I was unaware of both Robert Morris and Franklin’s anecdote concerning IOUs. Thank you for sharing it.
Can you have a system, such as a "Solyndra-type-rod"(s) which placed down a deep well and a solar pump to flow water intor a unit that sits within the ground-well water level and use that as a coolant supply and the solar to provide a small amount of elec to a downward pump to push water through the closed system, and then have a solar powered UV light strip to kill bacteria on the upward flow... then pipe that to a rooftop black-ulta-paint pased piping module to allow solar heating for the water.... in addition to your system?
Really random to see this hit the front page of HN. I love this place. Shame the area is strangled by stroads.
I put out a small card game demo a while back using Midjourney assets for most of my art. The tech has wildly improved since then (this was ~v2 and we're about to see v5, Stable Diffusion is out now and actually good, and many companies are starting up specifically to provide AI assets to game developers), so I would imagine you could get pretty far without an artist now. At the very least, you can definitely produce a good-looking demo with enough reference material to hand off to an artist before a final release. Feel free to hit me up via email (profile) if you aren't familiar with the tech; if you're on Discord or something I'm usually around to give some tips & pointers when indie devs have questions. :)
Nice! I haven't seen this one before. Will definitely take a look. Thanks for posting.
Federated E2EE is possible but won't achieve widespread adoption.

Signal's choices optimize usability of E2EE messaging for the masses.
Electronics (consumer or otherwise) isn't "low level tech." This isn't a game where there's a definitive tech tree. Electronics design and manufacturing is not a solved problem and innovation is getting wild these days (esp in consumer devices, like wearables, XR, IOT, etc).

Something to keep in mind is that consumer electronics are at the leaves of the industrial tree - AI, big data, energy, quantum computing, etc - those are branches.
Is there a reason why we aren't using BLOOM's model?

It's huge, 160B parameters. It's open, it's free, it's been out there for a while.

Is something wrong with it? Using outdated training data? Using outdated training techniques? Or is it just not well known enough -- ie, not in the news at the right time.
Maybe could be useful to show what are you doing to your colleagues inside the office.
I installed my own Heat Pump (Pioneer) setup in my RV. I evacuated my system using a vacuum pump myself, total cost was around 3k. Got Home Assistant working through a hacked Local Tuya script.

This unit is 22 SEER.

+1 for a LOCAL API that doesn't require the cloud and +1 for a self install. I can buy two whole higher efficiency Pioneer units for your $6k install fee
Imagine how the media would cover the story of CPS going to a prominent trans activist parent of a suicidal trans child and you have your answer.
Just remember, also, that common law in the area of contracts for goods has largely been replaced by the Uniform Commercial Code, which has a different way of approaching these issues.
The complaints about NULL are because its semantics are inconsistent. It is used for a number of different purposes:

– a missing value (existing but unknown), for example a person's birth date that happens to be unknown

– the non-applicability of a value, for example the spouse of a person who never married

– a combination of the above, for example the death date of a person where it is unknown whether they have died yet (but if it was known that they are alive, the death date would be NULL all the same)

– an empty set (see for example https://dbfiddle.uk/UJJgVCZ_)

Depending on the context in an SQL expression, NULL sometimes behaves like an unknown value (propagates upwards in expressions), sometimes like a non-value (doesn't match any conditions), sometimes like an empty set. This makes it unintuitive and difficult to reason about.

You are asking about what else to use. In principle you could use placeholder values (like using the date value 9999-12-31 to mean "hasn't died yet"), but that has its issues as well. The bottom line is, there is really no good alternative in SQL. And that's what people dislike about SQL. Because you could imagine a database language with a standard NULL placeholder value with consistent and straightforward semantics.
It very quickly devolves to socialism, however. Without the incentive to make money, you lose market competition. Eventually it collapses to a handful of big players, but they are all extremely constrained by the government insofar as they are really one government run operation with different names. Suddenly all market efficiencies are lost and you end up in a worse position than the market originally presented.
There is no reason Fidelity/Schwab/Vanguard/etc could not restrict accounts to certain investment options just like 401k are.

Also, IRAs already exist. No reason for an employer to be in the middle.
They want a tight-knit group. Which is inherently exclusive but that's not the predominant attribute.
I absolutely loathe this puerile tendency to attribute anything even remotely relatable to modern data systems as Shikata ga nai by definition.

Grow up. this meatgrinder didnt just condense from aether. Someone wrote this, someone can change it, and anyone in the git log can be held accountable for what they did at any time. Enough of this late-stage capitalist attempt to offshore even the very concept of accountability.
Insiders at $SIVB Sold >$4M in Stock just Weeks before it Crashed
3 executives sold over $4M in stock just weeks before $SIVB crashed and their Chief Risk Officer sold 75% of her stock and quit in April 2022. Then SIVB went the rest of 2022 without a Chief Risk Officer while their company plummeted toward failure.

Links to the executive trades in comments.

CEO Greg Becker sold $3.57M worth of stock (12% of his total) for over $2.2M in profits just a week before the bank failed.

CFO Daniel Beck sold $575k worth of stock (32% of his total) but lost over $400k on the trade since most of the stock options he purchased were granted in 2021 when the stock price was skyrocketing (see his profile and trade history here).

CMO Michelle Draper sold almost $300k worth of stock (25% of her total) for a profit of nearly $120k.

But the most egregious insider shenanigan is that the Chief Risk Officer dumped 75% of her stock in December of 2021 when the stock was near an all-time high of $688 per share. Four months later, she was officially no longer working at SIVB. This is already a major red flag, but it gets even worse. SIVB never publicly announced this until March 8, 2023. They also didn’t hire a new Chief Risk Officer until January 2023, meaning they had no Chief Risk Officer for most of 2022 (which may also be illegal). h/t to nongaap on Twitter for an awesome write-up about the Chief Risk Officer situation

So not only did three executives sell millions of dollars in stock within a month of the bank failure, but the Chief Risk Officer dumped 75% of her shares and left the company while the stock was near an all-time high. Then the company didn’t announce that she left until almost a year later AND spent 8 months of 2022 without a Chief Risk Officer while the company hurtled toward oblivion.
Clearly based on this weekend, our existing financial framework is that depositors are entirely protected, provided the bank is important enough to some important demographic.

This should be spelled out in law rather than relying on the existing provision being used ad-hoc, though.
Why not call your children John or Maria Smith at birth then? Wouldn't this guarantee almost full anonymity in most contexts?

The typical security precautions are very hard to maintain in real life.
e.g. should your child win some spelling context or a regional crosscountry run or whatever, how would you explain to them that their name and photo are not appearing among all the other winners?

Oh man thank you for that substack!

What is this drivel doing on the front page of HN?

It's one thing to criticize venture capitalists for promoting libertarian ideologies on one hand, and then instantly turning around and asking the federal government to bail out their portfolio companies' bank accounts on the other hand. It's OK to make fun of them too. To paraphrase the late J. K. Galbraith, in the US we see socialism in action mainly when private jets start descending on Reagan national airport, their passengers seeking federal handouts.

But the OP crosses the line into silly territory and keeps going past the line, with nonsensical statements such as "[the troubles at SVB] are emblematic of a startup ecosystem and venture-capital apparatus that are too unstable, too risky, and too unmoored from reality to be left in charge of something as important as the direction of our technological development." Left in charge? Of our technological development? That's not even wrong.
Likewise, people complaining that “AI safety concerns are just wokism gone wrong” are also strawmanning.

Let me get this straight based on the other posts in this thread. You suggested the idea of the other person sending out invites to another server, and he said that he's already on it? And after he did not come up with the invite, he's a liar because he said he was already working on your suggestion but didn't go through with it? Or am I getting this wrong?
Being a landlord is mostly profitable when two things are true:

1. You can maintain the property in question for less than the market rate.

2. You bought the property for less than the current market rate.

I looked into this in detail, talking with a realtor who very much wanted me to buy a second home to rent out, and determined that while the rental might be profitable a few years down the road--assuming I could keep it fully occupied and didn't end up with any "problem renters," even then it almost certainly would be more profitable to put the same capital outlay into the stock market, with the added advantages of liquidity and no renter headaches.

Most individual landlords are renting out houses they have already owned for a few years, so their mortgage is not based on today's price, and that is where their profit margin primarily comes from.
How fast and how?

My best guess, not until OK'd by a bankruptcy judge. You may have a strong claim on the funds but so does Mercury --- hence the fact stated above that you can't withdraw without their approval. On the other hand, they may be able to withdraw without your approval. A bankruptcy judge is the only one who could override their claim and release these funds to you.

Remember, SVB was an FDIC bank. The reason depositors are able to withdraw money today is because of the quick actions of the FDIC.
Switzerland is definitely not low cost. And it's where the majority of innovation happens at FAANG Europeans office.

Truth is, these offices are mostly there to be able to use L1 visas.

Gradient is a great product, uses 120V, great for small spaces, like apartments in NYC. https://www.protocol.com/climate/gradient-nycha-heat-pumps-q.... Electric Air is really targeted at replacing natural gas furnaces in single family homes.
What ended up happening was right, and I am glad things are looking up now. The depositors had to be made whole and Fed in my opinion did the right thing in the end given the choices.

But I have never seen the VC community so vocally begging for instant government intervention for anything else in my life.

These VCs would be first ones to tweet about how the government agencies are a bloated mess, a revenue sink, an archaic institution that needs to sold for parts.

But when there was a fire in their backyard, they did not "innovate", "disrupt", or "take initiative". They hounded the government like entitled brats, to fix the mess which was in no small part their own doing.

Entertaining analogy! I agree with your point, but we are not obligated by policy to allow foxes into the henhouse, rather we are obligated by our social norms.
It matters to me because it's the difference between $5 of fancy metal and $500 of transceivers to make a 10 foot thunderbolt cord.

I mean "long" in a somewhat relative sense because at tens of gigahertz your signal integrity goes to garbage after several inches, but also I found a paper talking about fractions of a decibel per kilometer if you completely isolate the wire.
> You just need to know that white hat is good and black hat is bad.

Yeah, anything that boils down to "you don't need to know about X, you just need to know that white X is good and black X is bad" is not a great look for technical terminology in the current context.
Holy sh*t. That is just beyond horrible. But it also shows how difficult it is to evaluate a stock. If a pension fund can't - then how should the average amateur investor do it.
Sure, I don't know the numbers but you're probably right. Hopefully the comment helps someone
In the documentation, I don't see any mention of including external libraries. For example, do you have to do something special to use this nostr library with Pynecone?

Man, this is such a great list of links. I have had these ideas floating around my head for nearly a decade now and have somewhat of a radical goal in mind. This has given me some much needed food for thought. Thank you, truly -- and add my name to the list of people who would love to see your other links

You're right about the Fed Reserve, but Clinton and Gingrich were in power just a little over 2 decades ago. We can now add Trump to the roster since he had a direct hand in weakening Dodd Frank

Oh really? How sure are you that the CEO’s name, stock trades, and employment history aren’t being repeated by every major news outlet?

He’s already being painted as bogeyman, even before anyone has proven that he has done anything wrong.
I watched the Amazon Rivian van walkthrough and it would be so much better than the Ford Transit EV for camping. Would be thrilled.
A couple of points:

- WezTerm has windows/tabs/panes in it, and one use case would be ~10 panes on a 4K display in various columns/rows.
- Within those you might have applications that themselves have columns/rows of panes, like vim.
- Why not use the GPU to draw the graphics so you can offload the CPU? When there's a lot of text to go through (something scrolling stdout hard, jumping through a big file), the extra performance can be nice.
I've played a lot with davinci 3 ($25 of credits worth) and it can do some impressive rhyming and interpretation of concepts as emoji sequences. From the 3 times I've interacted with this fine tuned llama 7B it is clear it cannot do that. I've also run the "vanilla" 7B, 13B, and 30B on my home computer with llama.cpp modified for interactive "chat" mode with various pre-prompt and these can't do it either.

I have no love for openai/microsoft but their text completion davinci 3 really is incredible. I don't think these littler models have quite reached the point of emergence for some functions despite fine tuning.
My favorite kind of comment: allude to a bigger point the op misses, but don't actually say the point.

I doubt I'm misrepresenting anybody. If its not slurs it's surely something about "wokeness."

You are not yet mature enough for this future if any of this is your concern. The world is going to pass you by while you're just stuck saying "there are only two genders" to all your comrades.

Don't let the politicians mobilize you like this, your time is worth more.
As far as I can tell Calacanis was just using all caps, and he was warning about a real risk that probably would have caused more banks to fail as early this morning, which is hardly insanity.
A typical WW1 'workers house' would have ~5 bedrooms, 10 foot ceilings, ~6 other rooms, and one or two fireplaces in each room.

With no heat circulation system, you would want a fireplace in each room for comfort. Typically windows wouldn't really seal, so you needed the radiant heat.
Not a disaster, but seems conspicuous. Looks like there is a connection between Signature and SVB and First Republic had a big exposure to SVB. So their risk exposure to a single entity such as SVB was pretty high for a pension fund.
BLOOM, while being a useful model for underrepresented languages, underperforms openai's GPT-3 models of similar parameter count on english benchmarks. Which is a pity.

And OpenAI's known models (at least the ones for which the architecture is publicly known) https://platform.openai.com/docs/model-index-for-researchers aren't pinnacles of parameter efficiency either: Deepmind's Chinchilla and LLaMA beat them on benchmarks while being much smaller.

Just an opinion, but if we truly aim for "green computing" and carbon footprint reduction, we should pay a lot of attention to the parameter efficiency of the models that get run in our datacenters - and we should invest money into public availability of the most efficient foundation models.
This is great! It's something I've wondered about for a while. I was surprised to see the decline of .com is fairly linear. Before I looked I was expecting the use of alternate TLDs to be accelerating a bit.

Are the absolute values the running totals? If so, why do they decline from 2021 to 2022?

I think a graph for unique counts would be cool to see too. For example, the ClickHouse query posted earlier in this thread shows:

domain count unique
-------------------------
.org 349414 58226
.net 114499 31129

So the submissions using .org are 3x .net, but the unique domains seen using .org are less than 2x .net. I'm not sure if there's any significance there, but it would be interesting to see the difference.

In the same context, I think it would be interesting to see the top 50 domains on each TLD.

Anyway, it's very cool info to see. Thanks for sharing it!
This is absolutely true. I love Streamlit whenever I need to get a small proof of concept off the ground and hate it the moment I need to customize it even slightly beyond the rail guards it puts in place.
> some users have suggested pretty smart features that i've since implemented, like this back-to-top button to quickly get back to the top of the page

To me all position:fixed elements (headers, footers, this back-to-top button, etc) feel like a kind of annoying dirt on the screen. Their absence is a big part of why I love the web 1.0 aesthetic.
The article does bad job of explaining itself. The problem is that the AI only works on the one moon we have, and would not detect a meteor crash or a Starlink Satelite or ISS or moon lander whatever.

Same as if they used the same trick with a model Coke can, and you tried to take a blurry photo a
of an insect on your can.

With the moon, it's especially ridiculous because no one wants Samsung's prefab moon photo, we have tons of those. They want to see the phone zoom in on what they are actually seeing, just for fun.
I don't know, maybe if you photograph the moon behind a tree, you'd like a more detailed moon.
But it's Moon "Zoom" , not Space Zoom, and it's Virtual Zoom. It's like the "Just Egg" vegan egg, but Just Egg knows you know it's not a real Egg. Samsung just keeps lying and pretending we're stupid, instead of advertising the nifty feature for what it is. That's tacky.

Samsung's argument is "if you can't tell, does it matter"?

This is new post-truth AI world.
I pretty much treat them as macOS only. Useful for things like Spotlight comments, Finder tags, and other macOS-exclusive features.
