I agree with preferring the opt-out by default. My initial reaction to any opt-in default is to opt-out immediately and worry about why later if at all.

To further anonymize the data and increase user comfort, cycle the selected users daily so the same user's telemetry is not collected multiple days in a row. That limiting of data collection may also make it more acceptable to some users. For example, it may be more acceptable if telemetry data were collected no more frequently than one day per month or one day per two weeks.
I marvel at 5GB/s mass-storage, but then I groan at the knowledge it will be used to run a denornalized Postgres database table containing JSON blobs for queries that will do full tablescans because apparently dropping $Lots on a high-end storage system is preferable to learning how to do things properly.
The training data doesn't seem to be great quality...

"instruction": "Calculate the sum of each column in the following table.",
"input": "2 | 3 | 4\n 5 | 6 | 7",
"output": "2+3+4 = 9\n5+6+7 = 18"

I think better results could be obtained by manually going through these 52,000 training examples - even a couple of seconds per example should be enough to weed out obviously wrong ones, and should only take <$1000 of human time.
Then I wasn't talking about you then was I?

If you increase the time of operation you can earn greater return on the costs invested. Commercial water heating is storing heat cheaply now to avoid storing water warm that will be used as that causes biofilms and disease.

Healthy sleep in room you want to work in upon rising creates a challenge for live pumping of heat. A sudden heat is best and that means storing from day before. We thrive sleeping in cold being woken by warmth.

$20,000 on a four ton heating load is compromised by this design tragically.
Thank you really appreciate that!
> Helping out on the family farm is in its own category ... the parents are probably actually supervising. ... It becomes a different question when we're talking dozens of kids working in a corporate meat processing plant.

The Norman Rockwell image in popular culture of an American small family farm with kids building character helping out next to their parents produces less than 20% of US agricultural output today. The vast majority of farms (by volume, not by population) are much larger corporate operations, making over $1M/year, with the labor not reporting to Mom and Dad but to some plant supervisor.

Side note, I dispute that the "middle class and elites" would genuinely rather perpetuate these conditions than face even a few % increase in the price of food if given that choice. The problem is that this proposition assumes perfectly rational, fully-informed consumers, and that's not reality. It's impossible to know at the supermarket if a package is colored green and has a picture of a happy cow on it because it's from an environmentally responsible small family farm that treats their dairy cows with kindness or if that's just the packaging that polled well with the focus group, allowing Cargill or whoever to make even more profit. I'd personally be happy to pay a few percent more for my food if it would reduce pesticide and herbicide pollution, reduce single-use plastics, improve work conditions. But the people making those decisions have no realistic way to communicate with me (aside from the plastics I can see in the store, though too often the brown cardboard packaging is just to win my purchase and actually hides a plastic coating that makes it the worst of both worlds). The only real signal that's accurately transmitted is the price, and it should be obvious that uninformed consumers will choose the cheaper option.
The book just moves the line so they're covered in either direction.

The sharp works on inside knowledge, not advanced mathematic modeling. The sharp is someone with inside information, e.g. star player twisted his ankle recently and no one knows.

Bit if any moron could pull up a perfect model of the game outcome they'd all do it and the book would have no line to play. Books are happy to take action on anything where they have the advantage and are always wary of sharps ( won't take their money if known).

I really could have picked any prediction model though so we shouldn't get hung up on sports Books.

For example, why are banks still lending big money on expensive sea side property? Shouldn't their internal modeling be showing that these places will soon be flooded? Oceanside property should be a bargain right now. It isn't though, because the people on charge don't actually believe in the climate change models they push.

FetchAPOD – download, crop, set wallpaper, create gallery, apod.nasa.gov
Small application I made while learning python. It is operating system independent but only packaged on windows so far. Plan to add to arch Linux air and create a deb package soon.

Lots of todos including writing title below thumbnail images, center then better (forgot to change that before packaging. :/) And some under the hood things.

Any suggestions/feedback would be received with appreciation. I'm not a designer and the GUI came as an afterthought to make it available to more people who may be interested.

Currently let's you fetch the daily apod, after that it generates random links and downloads random apods. You can set as wallpaper, you can set past apods that are in thumbnail gallery as wallpaper. You can right click and open any apods webpage from the gallery or main page.

A lot of config options, aspect ratio to crop images, run on a time interval, minimum size image to be turned into a wallpaper. Also custom env var and custom wallpaper setting command for window manager users, or if your Linux operating system isn't identified by xdg_current_desktop.

Things will improve and may change drastically.

The app is mit licensed, everything is opensource and all the code is available on the GitHub. This is my first app I ever packaged and published, learning a lot and have a long way to go.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my app, I hope I made something someone can find some enjoyment out of. And keep a fresh astronomy wallpaper.

I live in a town that has offered a novel answer to the riddle of "low value humans".

The homeless. The head-injured. Low income families. Recently released prisoners. The impoverished elderly. My town has arranged itself to serve that population.

Or more specifically, my town receives money from the state for providing these services. It's our #1 industry. All the other towns bring their "problem people" here.

It's probably the most efficient approach (within legality). We've concentrated them all in one place. (It's gotten kind of dangerous and filthy.)

It used to be a nice college town.

> But it is the suit filed by 11 former members of the Squad that has placed the Piper Rockelle saga at the center of an explosive online controversy. The plaintiffs, all of whom are minors, allege in the lawsuit that Smith offered to show an 11-year-old girl how to perform oral sex, mailed Piper’s underwear to men and pretended to be a raunchy version of the family’s dead cat while inappropriately touching and harassing the children.

> Trimmer, a photographer, said Smith often urged the kids to pose more provocatively for thumbnail photo shoots — the images used to promote YouTube videos. She would frequently tell the Squad members to make ‘sexy kissing faces’ for thumbnails, to ‘push their butts out,’ to ‘suck their stomachs in,’ ‘wear something sluttier’ and would otherwise position Plaintiffs’ bodies in explicitly and sexually suggestive positions,” the complaint said.

> Numerous Squad members also allege that Smith regularly interacted online with a man posing as a young girl named “Megan” who sent her money, a Gucci bag, laptops, lawn furniture and other expensive gifts in exchange for images of Piper. In the lawsuit, Corinne said she witnessed Smith mail “several of Piper’s soiled training bras and panties to an unknown individual,” adding that Smith told her “old men like to smell this stuff.”

All these different languages have their own approach and each then also user/global/multiple versions...it's just not worth figuring out
FWIW, I find Cargo to be one of the biggest reasons I like Rust so much — maybe even more than anything to do with Rust itself or safe code.

I’ll often look for command line tools written in Rust, but not because of Rust fanboyism, but because I know I can just git clone the project and immediately start hacking on a new feature I need or a quick bug fix. In almost every other language I have to jump through one million hoops before I can build and run whatever it is, let alone have a nice developer experience (autocomplete, go to definition, etc).
I've considered that senses/reflexes may be supplemented with well-defined components feeding various signals together, but this is more of a challenge than it may seem at first. Wiring components of varying signal types together in a way that they can meaningfully be fed into the same vectorized input stream is no small feat (ie sound, images). We really underestimate the wonder of our nervous system. However, if that can be found out, I'm sure AGI would be right around the corner. Sometimes, I wonder if vectorized formats are even the answer at all. "Life is in analogue" after all.

As for the assertions being made - at first, no, but once the Bing Search fiasco kicked off, I've seen more and more (here on HN) making the claim that ChatGPT and its kin are the beginning. Ultimately, it doesn't irk me - once we hit the same plateau as usual, the hype will boil down - but I do feel a bit concern at what may come of poorly-wielded LLMs before the industry wises up to their risks. A lot of people take ideas they see on HN back to their jobs, so we have a bit of responsibility to manage such hype here.
I'm very much not saying that the outcome wouldn't be disastrous, but IME default is clearly unconstitutional, and so if statute and circumstance conspire to make default the only option then violating some statute to prevent default is appropriate, potentially to the point of just printing what we need to meet our obligations.
That sounds great on the surface, but come to think of it, the most productive engineers I know are also great communicators and mentors. Then, in product development doing/creating is also teaching/making the rest of the team stronger.

> Kids are pretty dumb but they can figure this stuff out.

Children did not, under their own agency, seek out exploitative employment. We recognize that, as minors, their nominal consent is immaterial in the face of the overwhelming comparative sophistication of adults and adult institutions.

The kids did not figure this stuff out; the adults in the room did.
They say they trained it for $600.
That seems clumsy.

I would think the right approach to "SQL without LEFT JOIN" would be just to focus on making pulling down multiple related tables as distinct resultsets in a single query easier and have the client code work with a graph instead of hammering everything into a single tabular layout. Or leave the concept of "connect these two tables together and make them NULL where not applicable" as an exercise for the client.
Wish you had been around a few years ago, before I took the plunge on two 5-ton Bosch "BOVA 2.0" heat pump units -- I'd have seriously considered your product.

The Bosch units are inverter driven and contain some interesting tech; we've had some issues with them, unfortunately I'm not sure that the HVAC industry is ready for such tech, but I do generally think it's the future.

I continually wish (and search Github bi-annually for) there was a way to see what frequency ("capacity") my BOVA units are running at -- aside from just being able to see the "staging" (purely controlled by temperature delta via Ecobee). There's a USB port on the board, but I can't find any info/data on it & obviously I don't want to take chances on >$15k -worth of HVAC units. But it'd sure be nice to see, at the very least, what the capacity/frequency is -- without having to physically take screws out to remove the panel covering the board.

Alas, maybe some day -- perhaps once my units are out of warranty I'll be daring enough to try and get something from that (very tantalizing) USB port.

Because it's from a new entrant to the market and I don't know that their complex interface will be available, supported, and serviceable 12 years into the 20 year lifetime of the equipment. I do know that I will always be able to provide a dry contact closure in the event they go belly-up and the thermostat goes unsupported.

I have my current gas boiler working via an outdoor reset mechanism that provides flow water at 116°F to 135°F via a dry contact closure from the zone relay box. There's no reason for me to believe that Bosch (and others) can create a modulating boiler that works efficiently from just a dry contact closure input from the house (plus a flow temp sensor, a return temp sensor, an outdoor temp sensor, and a programmed reset curve in the heating unit), but that a heat pump would be unable to do the same.

The boiler can modulate up and down based on the delta-T between return and supply and the target supply temp from the outdoor reset. A heat pump could do exactly the same thing (with an inverter drive, it can do it with even more granularity than a multi-stage gas valve affords).

From what I have seen, they were not insolvent before the bank run. They were in trouble from a bad bet on interest rates, but were attempting to restructure their holdings to get liquidity.

Bank runs are a psychological construct, not an economic one. They are based on rumors, not facts. Deposit insurance is intended (and usually successful) to prevent runs by ensuring that depositors will be made whole even if the institution does become insolvent, because a run will destroy any banking institution.

What you are describing is called a narrow bank, and it exists in Norway.

There were people trying to create narrow banks, but they were rejected by regulators, because ,,everybody would take their money out of current banks and put it there’’.

Also there is one narrow bank in Norway, if you have at least $50M, maybe big companies should think about voting with their wallets.

I never used Reader but I see this question a lot, and feel that the framing of it clouds insight.

The problem isn't making things, it's all of the barriers to entry. For example, say it takes 2 weeks to make something. Since most of us have to work, that means a 1 year commitment to save enough to do it over a vacation. Which is really a 2 year commitment until a vacation, or 1 year of grinding, or the sacrifice of vacations altogether, or nights and weekends for an indeterminate amount of time. On top of that, most people struggle to save 10% of their income. So if a project has even a $10,000 budget, that requires $100,000 of income. The numbers quickly become so insurmountable that an adult will almost never find the time that they had as a teenager. A decade may pass in the blink of an eye with no forward progress on life goals (that's happened to me twice now). And most projects take 6 months to 2 years or more..

So major projects can only really happen through a corporate structure or with outside funding. Then the problem becomes organizational, or founders spend most of their time fundraising. Sure, occasionally someone makes something. But traditionally there are 100 failures we never hear about. Today that number might be more like 1,000 or 10,000.

Google axing projects on a whim is power imbalance. They hold all of the cards, have almost unbounded potential, but are so hyper-focused on profit today that they can't seem to innovate on anything. Major corporations today are basically black holes sucking up all available capital and talent, performing no better than small 2-5 person teams would if they had adequate resources.

I'm sure someone will react vehemently against what I'm saying. But we're discussing this on Y Combinator's website, a startup accelerator founded on the idea that small teams can pivot faster than the biggest companies. After writing this out, it seems that only startups can save us. Are any working on a Reader alternative, I wonder.

Also I dream of the day when the musical chairs of competition stop and we move to a post-scarcity society. I thought that was going to happen around the year 2000, but if anything we've slid backwards since wealth inequality is the highest it's been in human history.

> I'd never let any of my kids work in a meat processing facility.

I did, both as a child and as an adult.

It wasn't driven by financial need, though, which is obviously a huge difference. In my case it was because I wanted to contribute to my uncle's small business.

I did whatever was needed at the "meat shop" during summer vacation when I was a young teen. Sometimes that was working the front desk and selling summer sausage, sometimes it was slaughtering hogs, and sometimes it was cleaning the slaughter room at the end of the day.

In return, I stayed at my family's farm during the summer. I had access to all their land and knowledge, was provided room and board, and got a small wage. I was also able to hunt that land in the fall and invite friends to come stay there during hunting season to hunt with me.

> Still 100 kids out of all the employees seems like a really small fraction

These were contractors, weren't they? It could have been all of their employees

> to the point where I wonder if these kids were all related to employees

Based on my knowledge of that community, I'd say that's extremely likely. It was probably a mix of kids working in lieu of paying for child care when not in school and kids that weren't in school for whatever reasons (including lacking documentation to get in, not knowing enough English yet, and some dropping out early due to social or behavioral issues). Most or all of their parents likely worked in the same plant.
