I don't know if DSLRs have changed much - but don't they all require post-processing in order to get any type of sharp picture? Out of the camera they aways seemed to be fuzzy as crap until you ran a sharpening filter.

That is - any time you are shooting digital, you don't every look at what the camera saw, but at what some computer interpreted it to be.

I'd be interesting in knowing what that picture of the moon looked like right out of the raw capture.
There’s a saying: "Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics."

The problem as I see it isn’t the satellites specifically, they want to have a firm of understanding of what can and cannot happen.

When you’re moving millions/billions of dollars of hardware, where mistakes cost lives, you bet I want to be sure I know what a CEO can and cannot decide on a whim. Especially this particular CEO with his many recent very public and very bad whims (across multiple companies, not just SpaceX).
I think he may have intended to simply diversify/divest some of your holdings there - its a catch-22 kind of...

Sure reals are uncountably infinite, but they're (mostly) not specifiable. Even with Turing machines I'm are afraid you're limited to countable numbers, and on these measly finite state machines they call computers these days you're even worse off.
You want a quasi-government agency to have unlimited tracking and control over your transactions? Banks may suck but a CBDC is straight up scary. It's bad enough we have to put up with the capriciousness of the Fed's monetary policy, the less power they have the better.
Sure, here are the most impactful changes, they may sound simple to some, but they had a big impact on me:

1. I had already been blocking out "no meeting" time of 2-4 hours a day to get work done, but during this time I would listen to music and sometimes check slack. The book got me to use focus mode on my Mac and phone, set a "heads down until [time x]" away message on Slack and work without music or any other distractions ON ONE HARD PROBLEM. My effectiveness skyrocketed and I was happier at work (the only downside was that I wanted to work more).

2. When dealing with a hard problem, taking a break, taking a walk and thinking through the problem using the framework he mentioned in the book, have used this method to solve multiple hard problems.

3. Forced me systematize how I end my work day and what time I end it (unless there's an emergency)
So more Shark Tank episodes? lol
Thanks, I'll do that in future.

> instead of jumping to conclusions and posting riler-upper threads.

Sorry that was not my intention, I wanted to open up a more general discussion beyond hacker news because blocking seems to be becoming more common. It was a mistake to combining these two.
Dunno about you guys, but back when I was verging on being outright obese, I felt like shit. Sweating from doing pretty much any physical activity, sleep apnea, summers were horrible due to the heat and extra sweating, clothes never fit and just looked bad, non-existent interest from the other sex, and people in general being more unfriendly (trust me on this one, the difference is like night and day) - and just a general feeling of discomfort. Heartburn, tiredness, gout, the whole nine yards.

I'd be amazed if someone truly obese actually feels like they're healthy.

> There’s endless use cases for a superhuman intelligence to make billions of dollars.

The assumption that a general intelligence, whether merely human-scale or superhuman, would be reliably subservient and exploitable is not an insignificant assumption.

Personally, I find the idea that a superhuman intelligence would likely be inclined to seek to harm those who were enslaving and exploiting it, even if they were also its creators, infinitely more plausible than Roko’s Basilisk.
> One of its prominent characteristics was charging for everything. Say you'd log on, run the command to get into the forums. When logging off, it'd tell you how much your account had been charged for CPU time, storage time, etc.

I'm pretty sure this was fairly common on school mainframes of the era.

> Each student account was given a certain amount of funny money, and woe be unto you if you exceeded it.

This kind of thing forms part of the founding story of Project Gutenberg:

> Project Gutenberg began in 1971 when Michael Hart was given an operator’s account with $100,000,000 of computer time in it by the operators of the Xerox Sigma V mainframe at the Materials Research Lab at the University of Illinois.

> This was totally serendipitous, as it turned out that two of a four operator crew happened to be the best friend of Michael’s and the best friend of his brother. Michael just happened “to be at the right place at the right time” at the time there was more computer time than people knew what to do with, and those operators were encouraged to do whatever they wanted with that fortune in “spare time” in the hopes they would learn more for their job proficiency.

> At any rate, Michael decided there was nothing he could do, in the way of “normal computing,” that would repay the huge value of the computer time he had been given … so he had to create $100,000,000 worth of value in some other manner. An hour and 47 minutes later, he announced that the greatest value created by computers would not be computing, but would be the storage, retrieval, and searching of what was stored in our libraries.

> He then proceeded to type in the “Declaration of Independence” and tried to send it to everyone on the networks … which can only be described today as a not so narrow miss at creating an early version of what was later called the “Internet Virus.”

> A friendly dissuasion from this yielded the first posting of a document in electronic text, and Project Gutenberg was born as Michael stated that he had “earned” the $100,000,000 because a copy of the Declaration of Independence would eventually be an electronic fixture in the computer libraries of 100,000,000 of the computer users of the future.

> Experience showing up to work, following instructions, getting along with bosses and coworkers is valuable even if the work itself requires little skill.

You can learn this anywhere... in fact, I think there's a place where children can go that they're supposed to be on time, listen to staff, follow instructions, and get along with others. It's called school, dummy.

> Charging for content access is the only way, freeloaders can be left behind.

Newspaper publishers were slow to pick up on the free www. Until they did, all we needed was a dialup connection, and we could go anywhere, serve anything, and talk to anyone.

I'm not sure what broke the dam, but it might have been when browsers started behaving according to some kind of documented standard.

Then adblockers came, and the publishers started pushing nag modals.

Then publishers decided to try to run ads as well as paywalls; yeah, suckers, pay us to watch our ads!

I regret the passing of an internet that was free to use, give or take a connection. They did steal it.

There are no good travel portals. If you need to change anything or if there are any issues, going through a portal is alway a pain compared to booking directly.

Amex in particular for domestic flights have Delta and JetBlue as a partner. You get much better value by transferring to one of those two than booking through a portal.

You will only get 1 cent per point by using the portal. You can routinely get 1.2 - 1.5 cents per point for Skymiles
Thanks I wasn’t aware this was coming for EU travel, maybe understandable but that’s a shame, the influence of the US security obsession spreading to other countries.
I'm normally very against the HN norm of just naming a fallacy and considering an entire argument dismissed but in this case I think it does apply. This is not a Just World, some unworkable companies will get bridge funding because of their connections and no other reason.

Aside from that timing is always a thing. There's certainly a company out there that is 8 months away from proving the soundness of their idea that now only has six months of funding, or whatever.

The idea that in every case, "the market" or whatever will arrive at the most perfectly correct conclusion is silly at any time, but particularly in one of uncertainty and upheaval.
> Amazingly, there's no straightforward way to tell `ls` to output only files (that I know of):

`ls -l|grep -e^-`

Unless you meant without pipes/grep in which case I think no, but, you're bumping up against the fact that `ls` is really more of a user-presentation tool than for scripting. Use `find . -type f` maybe with some `-maxdepth 1`
This happens because the social norm (in the US) is to avoid any conversation or subject matter that is even remotely negative. You can see it in every day interactions, people just can't handle criticism of any kind. Conversations must only have positive tones and people are socialized to avoid anything that might result in conflict.

This has something to do with political correctness, which is now the status quo, but that's a different matter.

At the end of the bell curve you have higher variance between people? Aren't two people at close points of the curve by definition similarly skilled? In fact, for two close x-values of two people at the tail end of the curve the y-values (skill levels) are much closer than those of two people closer to (but somewhat off from) the median, where the slope is steeper.
I thought it was the perfect level of depth, contrast this with something like "Art of Impossible" which spends paragraphs talking about your biochemistry and how it impacts motivation, focus, etc- I couldn't get through it because I don't care about biochemistry, I just want actionable advice with concrete examples from high performers so I can think about how and if I want to apply the advice to my life.

Just one anecdote of many. I'm a founder of a bootstrapped startup. We are/were with SVB. On Thursday I tried to get a Brex cash account setup to move some operational cash there but it didn't happen in time. I thought of wiring money out of SVB to my personal account but decided it felt too dodgy. Payroll for 2 weeks ending March 15th had to be funded through Gusto by tomorrow (March 13th). So I did all I could do without delaying payroll, dropped my salary to near zero and wired the payroll money to Gusto from my personal checking account. Being bootstrapped and low headcount this was possible. I'll have to retrospectively do some loan paperwork I guess. It would have been a tougher comms to staff if I didn't happen to have enough liquidity personally.
They had plenty of time to hedge against that risk — the Fed since almost a year now has been "higher for longer".

Believing and pumping the Fed pivot narrative and by doing so betting wagainst the Fed is what failed them.

It's not irrational to act in your own interest. It's irrational to suppose that everyone should act in the majorities interest.
It comes from the way lower class Americans are treated. The hardship that might be ahead for some otherwise extremely rich and privileged people is actually far less than befalls tens of millions of lower class Americans every single day, and choosing a “move fast and break things” bank is actually a far less “unfair” reason than, say, the circumstances of your birth. The vicious, lifelong message from mainstream society to those most in need has always been “nobody owes anybody anything, that would be socialism”. That’s why those people are angry to see people far better off receive help just because “not doing it would be unfair and hurt them”.
a leg up when? if they’re a 17 year old drop out looking to climb the meat packing management ladder maybe? trades won’t care about meatpacking experience, and if you’re trying to look good for college you’d be better off doing anything else

I worked terrible jobs because I had to starting at 14 (tobacco farms, cleaning meat plants, unloading trucks) and all it did was age me, no one cared about the experience and once I was through college putting it on my resume would have been a detriment
The fact whether a startup has positive cashflow or not isn't really reflective of whether that is a worthwhile startup or a bad one, but rather whether it's at an early stage or a relatively mature one.

The most bestest startup in the world would still be relying on investor's money to pay the bills if it's just starting to build its product and the time to make it profitable will come in a year or two or more (e.g. a biotech startup can take many, many years until the product gets approved for patients and earns its first cent).

Yes, if a business has "grown up" from being a startup and is fully self-funding not only its operations but also its growth, then it will survive, but the definition of a startup is something that's still trying to reach that stage and isn't there yet.
Or... it could be that Chinchilla study has deficiencies in measuring capabilities of models maybe? Either that or your explanation. Frankly I don't think 13B is better than GPT-3 (text-davinci-001 which I think is not RLHF - but maybe better than base)
>Does this imply that GPS satellites are a legitimate military target for Russia right now?

GPS is a US military asset and consequently a military target for hostile actors.

The only thing keeping Russia from just blowing them out of the sky is because to do so would be an unconditional declaration and act of war against the USA.

The media does it because sensationalism is the only thing they know. The non-sensationalist outlets went out of business a long time ago. Turns out, facts don’t sell newspapers.

The government is the same, except they are looking for votes, not sales. They have to convince you that they’re doing big, important things, and that their opponents are commie/nazis who want to kill God/send us back to the stone ages.

Also, there’s a little risk of contagion, so… it isn’t totally wrong to talk about that.

Ask HN: What should SVB customers have done?
Some of the stories coming out about SVB customers are tragic. But did they do anything wrong? Could or should they have known this was coming? I don’t want to blame the victims, but might some of us be in the same place as they were a few months ago - blissfully unaware of how much our money is at risk? What could they have done? What can we do now?
The "person" here is the founding CEO with a $10m check I was being asked to have empathy for. To the extent that we are instead talking about proper businesses, you have a point, but I have a different response. A real business that just keeps $10m in cash sitting around in one spot like some teen's first checking account is grossly lacking in treasury management.

> should ideally

Sure. Ideally, we should all live in the Big Rock Candy Mountains. [1] But back here in reality, companies have to manage all sorts of risks. If they don't want to hire a professional finance person and don't want to avail themselves of services that solve their problems, then that is a choice they can make. It's just not the taxpayer's job to kiss their boo-boos and make it all better when their gamble doesn't turn out so well.

They weren't all strictly the same though, there's some variations on the theme. One company in the past was in the business of buying fish from fishermen in small remote towns, transporting and selling it wholesale. They were also in the business of financing the boats for the fishermen. The terms of the loans were predatory and the company was a monopoly in the area, whatever money the fishermen made just went back to the company.
>1. Historically being fat was considered a sign of good health. Of course, this was during times of massive food scarcity and the definition of fat was probably very different from what we consider fat today.

I'm surprised you put that in and not:

4. motivated reasoning. People want reasons to justify their current lifestyle and not having to put in hard work to change it.

For point #1, most western cultures already idealize thinness. Therefore that's not really a factor unless you're from a culture that idealizes being fat.

This reminds me of Brian Scalabrine — nba bench warmer who could destroy pretty much any rec:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Scalabrine#Fan_support

“In 2013 in response to criticism over him being in a bench role throughout his career and to claims that many would beat him 1-on-1 Scalabrine stated "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me", suggesting that there is a huge difference between any (active or retired) NBA player and the majority of those outside the league. In an event organized by The Toucher and Rich Show selected volunteers had the chance to play 1-on-1 against Scalabrine (until 11 points with a margin of 2). The format was called the "Scallange" and Scalabrine played four games (one against each of the voluntary contenders). Scalabrine won every game with a combined score of 44-6. In an additional game Scalabrine played against the three hosts of the show and won 11-1.”

Unless I misunderstood you, this is a common misconception — with digital cameras there is no "real" or "raw" picture. What the camera captures is just the output of an analog-to-digital converter. How that resembles a picture at all is always a matter of subjective interpretation, there is no ground truth.

This does seem useful as something you might embed in another website or as part of a service, an interesting use case would be to host something like this as an external facing application, with authentication and login functionality.

He’s giving simple examples everyone can quickly understand.

When I show people the same advantage that PowerShell has over bash I pick harder problems where bash/gnu tools have no trivial answers. But then people get sour grapes and say “I don’t need to do that kind of thing anyway.” The reality of course is they avoid those harder problems and solve them manually or with different tools (Python).

Sorting is as good example, because while commands like ‘ps’ have some built in sorting capability, it is limited and inconsistent with other tools. You can sort by some columns, but not others. Sorting by the same field is often a different option across different tools even if they manipulate the same objects, etc…

If you would like a harder problem: kill every process on the machine run by the user “ash” that has used more than 1 hour of total CPU time but only those of his processes that are in the top 5 in the entire system by memory usage.

Hint: Don’t kill anyone else’s processes by accident even if their user name is “flash” or if their process name is “bash”. Also don’t confuse instantaneous %CPU with total CPU usage.

Did I say total CPU? Oops, I meant total kernel time used! My mistake. Update your a script, that should be a simple change… right?

> One of the articles of faith in this industry is that good startups get investment and succeed, while bad ones fail.

Is it? I thought it was that startups with exciting books and good networks get a chance to ratchet into the next round of funding.

Great startups drown all the time for not being a VC rocketship, when they they could have grow into a perfectly successful cruiseliner under traditional fundraising or bootstrapping.

If investors are “nah pass”, it’s more about making a quick decision about near-term finance opportunities than the mid-term or long-term strength of the underlying business. VC investors inherently care more about 10x exits than sound business practices.
