"The Japs period, Nintendo has the same cocky attitude after success post-Wii, post-Switch"
Something tells me it's not designed for hundreds of users and more like "Here is my data-scientist quasi-code thing and I want a web interface for it to show the non-code folk in my business unit".
As far as I know, major (overwhelming?) part of Kazakhstan oil and gas is transported via Russian pipes. They were used as a tool to press on Kazakhstan in the past. Yes, alternative networks are being developed, but that takes a lot of time.
Man I wish I could get this running on my Android Auto compatible car media thing.
It's the first part, post hoc.

You omit the words ergo propter hoc.
GOOG is up 3%, MSFT, AMZN, APPL are up 2%. Snap is up 4%. FB is "only" up 4.5%.

If you need to fire 13% of staff to get a 1.5-2.5% bump in price - that doesn't look great to me.

Almost seems like the market is signaling that they don't see any growth potential for FB outside of canceling the Metaverse.
Thanks for mentioning it. I already tried using it a few months ago and brushed it off as still being a WIP, but it still didn't work when I tried again just a few days ago. Asking in the Matrix chat when first trying it sadly only got me a "works for me" from the developers.

What Espressif is doing with their esp-idf and porting it to Rust is promising, but overall it still needs work. Using the toolchain to develop on the ESP32 was at least slightly painful half a year ago before they introduced espup[1], having to keep a patched LLVM around etc., and supposedly support for their Xtensa architecture is coming to LLVM soon[2] so this will improve in the future.

I'd also love to see Bluetooth support in esp-idf-svc[3], but they seem to be lacking people with the required knowledge to design and implement an abstraction for it[4].

are there open source solution?
Any program you would suggest in particular?
Just one of the reasons.

The other mathematical reason is gambler's ruin. A person with larger pot by chance or design can gamble riskier investment much longer and can diversify it more.

Poorer people play a martingale, rich people play a multi-armed bandit.
The less of a backstop in the society, the bigger the difference in outcomes.

Rich play with armies and even if they lose they are well off. Poor play as soldiers and have nothing, not even their life, when they lose.
Again, you're calling me "crypto-absolutist" shows your clear hate for the technology only for the sake of it.

This would also make very easy to prove ownership. You have access to the address that owns said property, it's yours. It's as simple as that.

The database you'd need locally would be pretty much to store useful information and to track data on the blockchain.

I don't see any country using this anytime soon, or at all, but it is possible.

PS: I do understand you hate NFTs representing pictures of monkeys being worth millions of $, I also find it stupid, that doesn't give me the right to hate the entire technology that makes it possible.

There is EU regulation to limit the bike to 25km/h. If you look at the code you can see how the switching between 24 and 25 km/h works. The rest I leave as an exercise to the reader.
I'm not sure where you see disagreement. It's not a personal sin for the priest to be dismissed. See #3, by request. Oh sure, a priest may be dismissed as a penalty, for something he did, namely sins such as abuse, but the dismissal itself is not sinful like procuring a divorce. The OP compared laicization to a divorce, and it's nothing like that at all.

Think of it this way: it's not a crime to go to prison, but one will certainly go to prison as the result of a crime.
There's a reason why we're called "resources".
Jitter? What does that have to do with whether the speakers are built-in or not? That should be something that happens no later than the DAC.
I ask all new hires to ghost write a short intro.

They would essentially tell me some facts that I would then re-write for them, so why not just use their own words.

If they want to use generative AI, that’s on them.

Tell HN: Google ships a hidden extension in all Chromium builds for Google Meet
Google Meet comes with a few features that no other web apps can use

- The troubleshooting modal shows CPU usage [1]

- When screen sharing you can configure the type of screen share (tab/window/screen) in your code

What is surprising here is that there is no public API for both of these. Instead every Chromium build comes with a special Hangout extension pre-installed. Google Meet then uses `postMessage` to communicate with this extension and call APIs that are available in the Extension context.

Here is the code for the extension inside Chromium source
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chrome/browser/resources/hangout_services/thunk.js?q=thunk.js

This extension is only available to *.google.com web apps
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chrome/browser/resources/hangout_services/manifest.json;l=12

Even though these features might not seem very important, this is still blatant anti-competitive behaviour from google

> Sony's fair complaint here is that Microsoft made public statements (without contracts) that they wouldn't do what they did and then did it anyways.

Except they never did that. What Microsoft said is that they would keep existing games supported on whatever platform they are on and honour any existing contract. They have done both.
Golly, can you just _imagine_ GPT integration in Google Reader?

https://www.theblock.co/post/219391/barney-frank-regulators-...

According to The Block: Regulators shuttered Signature Bank to show 'crypto is toxic'.

“They closed us even though there was no good, compelling reason to do that because they wanted to show that banks shouldn't be involved in crypto,” Frank, a Democrat, said in a telephone interview. “We were the kind of poster child for having been involved in crypto."
The issue with that is that there’s often no adequate compensation for damages done. Individuals can get extraordinary rewards for high risk behaviour and positive tail outcomes but there is a limit how much you can take from them in case of a catastrophic (societal) outcome. Regulation is really the only way manage this asymmetry.
It looks pretty neat! Just wondering, what other languages are supported? English seems pretty natural as it is where GPT-3 thrives, but have you been able to support other languages as well?
Sounds like it will fit right in with the stupid song and dance already done in corporate America.
Yudkowsky has a very shallow understanding of machine learning/AI, but loves to write in a conspiratorial way with in-group terminology to make people think that he's onto some dark secrets.

What he's describing is common knowledge. This technique is called knowledge distillation (there are some small differences, but the idea is the same). A large model (here, openai's davinci) is used as a teacher model to train a smaller student model (llama). This is used practically everywhere in industry to improve inference times.
This is really cool! What surprised you guys about fine-tuning whisper + gpt-3?
well,I did not. Initially we agreed that tehre is a CEO and CTO, 50/50 relationships. However indeed the problem is that if I won't write/ call him for example for a week or two or three, he would not do any step to contact me somehow. hats why I offered to have weekly calls, so we can be aligned. However once we implemenetd weekly calls, I am the only perosn who prepared for them, makes the agenda and offers topics and ways to grow a startup or a product/ features. I mean If I go silent, hes kinda... making no reaction.only shows up for a wekely call or writes to me when he needs to postpone it. I created a roadmap in Notion for us so we can manage tasks, and bugs and requets there, but he does not even update it, nor he prioratise it. he does not even add new things. For example if I have a call/demo with a client- I let him know, he know when. But for some reason he never asks how it went, or what happend or what info we got. It is always me. I did an experiment, I had a demo call informed him. But I decided I will not write anything myself, will wait maybe he would show interest, call me or aks on chat. Nothin for 4 days,so I just contatced him myslesf. It hard for me when someone s so passive. I do not undestand if it is normal maybe, and I am overarcting. He never participated at any demo call himslef... I just realised that. he never tried.
Microsoft GM deal means your next car might talk, lie, gaslight and manipulate
I swear, if Google says "select developers" or "trusted testers" one more time, they'll have lost all credibility in launching something so important to their business and it will totally be on them.
Magical practices? A non-normative Roman imperial cremation at Sagalassos
Makes sense to me. It's an enormous inhuman blob trained on all of human knowledge that can manifest a personality out of nothing based on some inoffensive corporate prompt.
If most people in your community you are opposed to what you want, you're not going to be happy with your representation and are going to have to make do with the less awful alternative.

This applies especially for the Green platform - if you're going to advocate for people to meaningfully limit their consumption now in favor of the future of the planet, in a winner-takes-all election system you're not going to get any representation because no politician can gain your vote without losing more votes from the people around you.
I kind of feel like "Shame it wasn't needed, it would have been fun!" was kind of misaligned with the "I was acting in good faith unlike the other vultures" vibe he was trying to sell.

"Man I wasted a lot of effort but thank goodness it wasn't needed after all!" is the thing that would have rung true to the "good faith" vibe.
Go watch the launch of the metaverse and consider who would actually want to spend time and money there.
Meta is trying to own vr like apple owns it's app store. But apple make a great set of products, that I don't like personally, but they are objectively good. Facebook is hanging on because it's got early market share from a long time ago, and it bought all it's competitors rather than out flank them. So it's lazy in mind and spirit and this is showing up in it's offerings in vr.

Firing 10k people on the back of other layoffs just obscures that for a while.

> It seems increasingly that the concerns from the ethics branch have not come to pass at all.

Traumatizing Kenyan workers with horrific content is unethical:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxn3kw/openai-used-kenyan-wo...

giving police the green light to arrest people based on AI that is known or suspected to be unreliable is unethical:

https://www.wired.com/story/wrongful-arrests-ai-derailed-3-m...

I'm pretty sure I could find lots more actual unethical things that have occurred in the name of AI all day long. AI breeds unethical outcomes like water is wet, there's no need to be wondering. AI ethics teams are fired because everyone realizes nobody can really afford to bother to be "ethical" at all, easier to just sweep the bad stories under the rug (which of course can be done using...AI! )
Does anyone else find the irony in this statement from a company that is pushing for a Virtual Reality social world since almost the beginning?

> Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week. This requires further study, but our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively.

> As part of our Year of Efficiency, we’re focusing on understanding this further and finding ways to make sure people build the necessary connections to work effectively. In the meantime, I encourage all of you to find more opportunities to work with your colleagues in person.
You know the old saying in computing, "Fast, Cheap, Good - pick two"?

That applies to farming too.

If you're okay with paying roughly 50% more across the board in the supermarket, then farming can be rather less dependent on technology.
The economy has become the state religion of the United States.
The guy lucked into a money making machine that was nigh impossible to screw up. Hasn’t done much since except do the obvious when you have a mountain of cash — buy competitors.
Pension time is not a gift, it is money being stolen from the worker and transferred to the rulers and to the elderly, with no trustable guarantee of the worker ever getting anything back.

With that said, working at McDonalds and paying a pension is completely different than working a gig job, because you are expected to work when scheduled and will be fired if you don't, while an Uber driver works when he sees fit.
Rich folk alone can't eat enough fish to deplete the stock. Unless of course you count everybody in a developed nation as "rich". In any case, I agree that policy change is required, but I have less influence on policy than on my personal actions.
Technology has been putting a downward pressure on most people's lives for decades now in the form of wage stagnation.

It's not the only cause, but it is almost guaranteed that it is a factor.

People forget that disruption has a real negative impact on those being disrupted, and not all of them can recover from it.
That was an illustrative example don't take the trees literally. Here is an actual illustration of dithering which I believe is relevant.

https://surma.dev/things/ditherpunk/

Imagine asking Dakke2 for a picture of the bridge through the fog. The problem is an image of fog is graphically indistinguishable from random noise. Whats the difference between a fog patch and something the adversary drew in? Good luck training out of that one.

Less tortured understanding: think about my playing cards example. Consider a face down card with the ordinary geometric lacing patterns drawn on the back side. So we are all looking at the same thing: https://www.wopc.co.uk/images/countries/usa/standard/standar...

Now think about what happens to that red card as I randomly add white noise static on top. The original fine patterning on the red side is soon distorted beyond recognition because those thin white lines are obscured by equiprobable white dots and coincidental random patterns.
Starts off saying how they're building tools to help people connect digitally as if they're there in person and the proceeds to say it's really shit and people should meet in person.

The whole in office is better thing is a farce, but how can you buy into a 'vision' when they don't believe it themselves.
Is this really that different than traditionally delegating tasks to other humans?
That might be a defensible position to take, but it's simply false that "no one is saying that." AB5, which this ballot prop is a response to, absolutely says that: https://www.investopedia.com/california-assembly-bill-5-ab5-... There is no minimum time worked.
I don't think that they even go outside...
> Also, this is a 2nd round barely 6 months after the first and it's going to happen over months. This will be great for morale and will likely only cause your A players (who are probably still very much in demand) to look elsewhere.

Part of the plan is that lots of people leave on their own along with the 10k. For me, the real question is, how many of the A players can afford to leave? Salaries have to be declining many of the top payers have hiring freezes. It seems like even though they're in high demand will they be able to demand the same pay? And if they can't how many are willing to take the jump and leave for less money? They're called golden handcuffs for a reason.
Global Microbiome Study Gives New View of Shared Health Risks
This video probably had functionality representing 10% of the latest YC batch.

Not mocking. This is a really hard space. You can start a whole company and build a product and overnight goog/msft/openai can tweak an existing product or API to make you obsolete. I'm sure some folks will figure out moats eventually... Always rooting for the upstarts over the incumbents.
As with many things, this is something that feels weird for the first few days but is a complete non-issue once you got used to it. Just like typing on a keyboard without buttons when the first smartphones came out.
Or really just any text generation that chatGPT dislikes. It's nice not to be judged by a program (and perhaps logged somewhere that you asked for something "inappropriate").
I asked ChatGPT about taking responsibility for the layoff, here is the response:

> The blog post does not explicitly state that Mark Zuckerberg takes full responsibility for the layoffs.
The previous run of killing projects wasn't sufficient to warn you off?
I received a second update and if I understand correctly they changed that. Early adopters will stay early adopters.
You'll find a little here and there within comp. sci. but the authors are usually not aware that they are doing control theory.

Typical things: scheduling algorithms for 1) processes, 2) disk reads/writes/seeks, TCP/IP stuff (slow start, throttling, window sizing).

For control theory viewed as part of engineering:
"Control System Design" by Goodwin, Graebe, and Salgado.

There are many others but that was the one that worked best for me.

Well I wrote onboarding message, guidelines and policies all in ChatGpt
Just a funny / interesting example of something that happened with ChatGPT last night. I asked it to translate my resume to another language from English, and it interpreted my resume as, hey "let's write code now" and opened up a prompt and started doing things in the prompt in another language...it was wild.
When you have nothing at stake, like openAI or bing, its easy to just throw things at the wall and see what sticks. There is nothing else on the wall you could potentially knock off.
Google needs to nail their launches better... We're all tired of Google Forms demos and access...
I like the idea, but I would like it even more if it was on-prem. The doctors (at least in EU) will be very wary of having their client meeting essentially recorded by a third party. With this as a cloud SaaS, patient confidentiality is essentially broken since the raw data is available to you while you transcribe it. I understand that you compete with "google speech-to-text" but this is not a feature meant to be used by doctors (even if they "illegally" do).

Obviously the business model is harder with on-prem, but cloud-first for doctor notes is in the long run much harder.
"even trigger personal liability of directors and officers for payment" How could this happen?
I don't eat junk food.
I have tried this and many, many other ChatGPT frontends. I recently did a search for "chatgpt" on GitHub and filtered for frontends, but I was a bit disappointed with the results. Most of them seemed to be pretty similar and didn't offer anything new or unique.

I'm really interested in finding a frontend with LangChain integration that can switch between chat mode and doc mode or something along those lines. It would be great to have a more versatile tool for communication and collaboration.

Do any of you have any recommendations or know of any projects that fit this description?
Yeah turns out launching a UI wrapper around a clever prompt doesn't give you much leverage against the big players.

Seems like the opportunity is applying LLMs in the background to accomplish previously difficult tasks, as opposed to just building text generator tools.
SVB Collapse Is 'First Twitter-Fueled Bank Run': Lawmaker
Forget a security expert, from what I've witnessed in a lot of industries security can be improved 100 fold by simply listing to what any half decent IT staff would recommend. So many business still think its ok to have a single login off a vital system with a 4 character password shared amongst 30 employees.
The irony is they’re tip-toeing around this but it’s been known remote workers don’t perform as well for as long as I’ve been in the industry. There’s a reason CEO’s will often come in touting how they’re going to promote wfh and then back off once they see the performance metrics their policy creates
I really hope the big take away from such developments is that if an AI can rattle out fancy-sounding reports and slide decks in seconds then there was never any value in such content to begin with. It was and still is corporate busy work. Maybe instead of using a text model to convert 5 bullet points into a 3-page report, we should just share the bullet points? But hey they also sell you an AI that summarizes this report back into bullet points so you don't have to read it.
I've had the same experience, despite my GTX 1080 I'm mostly gaming on my Deck these days. Everything just works, the form factor is nice, and the games are affordable.

I've also seriously considered setting my PC up for a SteamOS dual boot, but sadly Nvidia being Nvidia makes that difficult to do.

There are some glitches here and there, but SteamOS could easily be mistaken for a console system rather than a Linux distro.
Not sure if it's true in Meta's case (and almost certainly not Twitter's), but from what I've heard, they usually tell the key people that they are safe a day before.
Since Tokayev became a president, IMO relations between Russia and Kazakhstan are getting worse. Of course especially after invasion. But Kazakhstan and Russia are far from enemies, at least for the time being. They have deep economic ties. As I see it, Kazakhstan tries to build more independent economy but it's not really easy to do so, when the only real alternative is China which is completely foreign and many Kazakhs are afraid of Chinese invasion (not military, but economical, buying land and so on). And of course it's kind of hard to defend huge country with the population of 18 million. So military alliance with strong neighbour is kind of necessary in this situation and Russia provides one.
