My understanding, most farmers are backed into a corner where there is not a viable option to go with someone else. JD has extensively made access to repair facilities convenient and sometimes for many farmers, it is the only repair center remotely. If they go with a tractor from a different brand and it does need to be taken to a repair facility, you may have to ship it or drive it a long way or wait for a tech travel to your farm. This might mean your tractor is out of service for weeks. But JD has repair centers all over and JD can turn your tractor around in 3 days or less.

In highschool, I worked a couple seasons picking tobacco. Farmers love to be able to repair their tractors. Repair and maintenance work is something that can also give them something to do over the winter when they are not working the fields much if they limp along until then. Most farmers purchase them because as mentioned, there isn't really a reasonable alternative in the event it is something that actually does need to "go into the shop." I also would not be surprised if most of JD's sales were from corporate farms and smalls farmers are still using their grand daddy's tractor. The farm I worked on, the farmer was still using a 50 year old international harvester. Doing all of his own maintenance and repair work.
>But I'm pretty confident that "put today's gas furnaces in everybody's home" is the appropriate way of attacking that problem.

Did you mean "is not". And I never suggested this. But certainly there are vulnerable populations that should be considered.

If the purpose of this legislation is to improve "indoor air quality", as another poster suggested, why not educate the populace and allow them to make the decision for themselves?
IMO the "main source of inequality" is that tech allows a small number of people to use technological and fiscal leverage to make an outsized impact on society as a whole. Anyone who has a job that produces value in a 1:1 way is positioned to be 'disrupted'. NLP, etc, just provides more tools for companies to increase their leverage in the market. My bet is that GPT-4 is probably better at being a paralegal than at least some small number of paralegals. GPT-5 will be better at that job than a larger percentage.

Anyone who only has the skills to affect the lives and/or environments of the people in their immediate surrounding are going to find themselves on the 'have nots' end of the spectrum in the coming decades.
> Lastly, and perhaps the most disappointing, is I sort of forged myself into this narrow channel of thinking that had me under this spell of distaste for creative pursuits and surrounded myself with scenarios and people that reinforced this idea. One guy having a bad day is one thing, but a group of them acting as a support network and echo chamber for like-minded low vibration individuals is a completely different shit-show. It turns into a pissing contest of who can achieve the most disgraceful acts of human existence, and other acts completely absent of self-respect, morality, or both, and somehow maintain this as a lifestyle. That's getting a little bit too far out of focus tho.

I'll be honest, this paragraph piqued my interest. I feel like a dive into the implied and hinted story here would be fascinating. And likewise a meditation on how one enters this mindset and the effects it has on a person would be incredibly thought provoking.
Yeah, I saw that. Amazon has really struggled with their tech.

Last stores I visited still used a ton of shelf sensors, took about an hour to send receipts, etc. Hardly any other retailers appear to be buying it from them either.
Technology never affects the economy in isolation. It acts in concert with policy. Broadly speaking, inequality rises when capital is significantly more valuable than labor. The value of either depends on taxes, the education system, technology, and many other factors. We're never going to stop technology. We just have to adjust the other knobs and levers to make its impact positive.
A lot of folks have missed the updates--they are now past 100 million in annual recurring revenue--that history has evolved.
Yeah, I agree. I think this a situation where the individual decisions mostly make sense. But when you add them up, you get a system that creates some questionable implications.

I won't say "What's wrong with that" but I will point out that Twitch has in place safe modes for "Mature" streams that isn't much of a gate keeper, but neither is the little M that pops up in the corner of mature TV programs. The site also doesn't seem to do anything to intentionally market directly to children. Not that it doesn't attract kids, but so does TV. I don't think it's unfair to expect parents to keep an eye on what their kids watch.

> Trying to do anything internally unless you have a senior management position is always futile

There is another option, organize. Stay and fight for better conditions. Workers have always had the ability to enact change, when intentionally work together. It's more difficult but the potential gains are greater. This is how we got the 40 hour work week.

> given our current economic systems, how are these people supposed to eat?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This right here is the crux of the issue. The only way people get to eat is if we change the economic systems.

Capitalism supercharged by AI will lead to misery for almost everyone, with a few Musks, Bezoses and Thiels being our neofeudal overlords.

The only hope is a complete break in economic systems, towards a techno-utopian socialism. AI could free us from having to do work to survive and usher in a Star Trek-like vision of the future where people are free to pursue their passions for their own sake.

We're at a fork in the road. We need to make sure we take the right path.
This is not 1984. It's hard to regulate/control what hundreds of millions of adults are doing to their children. Stories that get media attention of abuse overlook the thousands of incidents in which nothing happens.
What's really interesting is that it's something both extremely hard to get right, and also super easy to diagnose as "wrong" when not done properly: you need a lot of training to design convincing hands but anyone can judge you for bad hands.

They are choosing to place money in the bank. This is a risk in and of itself.

Companies with treasury departments already know this. They can put money in money market funds, CDARs, cash sweeps, or any other vehicle to protect their cash. There are multiple ways to hold cash with very low duration risk that does not involve putting it in a bank.

FDIC is not an outdated idea. It is just the reality of the current financial system because it would require an excess of $20 trillion dollars to insure every deposit in the banks.
This is incredibly stupid naming. I saw these prices and just entirely gave up even thinking about premium until I saw the note (and then I still gave up on it, anyway).
I probably shouldn't have used the word singularly. I think reputation and shame matter to these people to some extent. But as I indicated in my comment, I think this outcome dampens the consequences for those incentives as well.

yep, drawing hands well requires an understanding of the underlying anatomy that is more apparent than most other salient features

hands are obvious to most people, but there would be many features that an AI would require a vast training set to completely capture, but that humans would also miss most of the time

for instance look at Michelangelo's Moses, it was sculpted with models and with a very thorough knowledge of anatomy by the artist, and includes details like the muscle of the forearm that contracts when someone lifts the pinky finger:

https://i.imgur.com/0vjAOnR.png

what are the chances that, for instance, the average person would notice that detail missing without being told about it? let alone reproduce it generatively, representing an imaginary person
Bing Chat, powered by GPT-4, looks stuff up on the Internet. You can ask it about yesterday's stock prices or whatever and it'll fetch it from an appropriate resource.
Ask a toddler how the world works and you'll get a very similar response. It is entirely likely the 80%-of-human-intelligence barrier is not a "dead end" but merely a temporary limitation until these models are made to hone their understanding and update over time (i.e. get feedback) instead of going for zero-shot perfection. The GPT models incorporating video should start developing this "memory" naturally as they incorporate temporal coherence (time) into the model.

The fact we got this far through brute force is just insanely telling. This is a natural phenomena we're stumbling upon, not something crafted by humans.

Also - fun fact, the Facebook Llama model that fits on a Raspberry Pi and is almost as good as GPT3? Also basically brute force. They just trained it a lot longer and it shrunk the model. Food for thought.
I’ve been thinking about this. My current theory is that molecular simulation is a much more heterogeneous activity than language modeling. Language is always the same kind of data. Molecular simulations span orders of magnitude in space and time and depending on that, data and even objectives have very different form. AlphaFold is just one small piece in this puzzle and it’s very easy for a research project to incorporate AlphaFold into an existing pipeline and shift its goal.

This is it. I run oil mostly, but have a propane fire place insert in the event of a power outage. While it is insuficient to heat my entire home, and every pipe in my house may burst from the cold, at least my family will be able to stay warm.
Depending on your state, hiring a lawyer might not be necessary. In at least one state, the employment division takes violations of employment contracts very seriously and will go to court on your behalf if the violation is egregious enough.

And in all states, you don't have to have a lawyer to bring a case. These are civil cases, and you can represent yourself. You're trading time for money in that situation, of course, and there's a learning curve you need to mount.
> I can see shareholders and employees of SVB rightly being pissed off. It's not your place to tell them they should not be.

I mean... yes it is. I'm against zeroing depositors of failed banks, because (for better or worse) we've decided that banks should work like restaraunts and you shouldn't have to do a complicated risk assessment about how safe one is before deciding to do business there. But shareholders are a different story. If you invest in a company and they do dumb things and lose your money, that's at least somewhat on you - you're supposed to know what the company is doing before you invest, and potentially push for management changes if they're doing stupid things. Insulating shareholders from the bad decisions of their companies is an utterly unacceptable degree of moral hazard.

When you maintain your own software for periods of time that outlast front-end engineering trends or IC's entire career tracks, your opinions might change.

Plenty of software runs untouched for decades. A lot of it powers your interactions with people on HN right now, from drivers, to font rasterization and backing layer UI composition. There are bugs in codebases that have taken 20 years for people to even notice. It happens.

When people don't have to worry about trivial details, they can focus greater efforts.
I don't believe it was a miscommunication. Even if it was a company as important as Docker inc, mentioning DELETING containers requires some care and should raise some flags at any serious communications department.

This is not just the wrong date for a convention in the newsletter. What impact does it have on the ecosystem they've built? Some really serious projects use Docker and even if they have their own repositories can they be sure the software they rely on can keep publishing containers?

Even at the tiny startups I've worked on I'm asked to proofread any technical stuff they want to publish, I assume Docker does too.
The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries on this planet.

> From 2006-2021, the Fed received over 3,500 merger applications from banks, and didn’t deny a single one. This record includes Silicon Valley Bank in 2021 buying Boston Private Bank and Trust, which the Fed board unanimously justified by noting that SVB would not “pose significant risk to the financial system in the event of financial distress."

Crazy to see how the Fed facilitates concentrated financial power and that it didn't used to be that way. Especially nuts that when mergers are under review the Fed says it's fine and if the combined firm failed it wouldn't be a risk but when the failure actually happens..
You can bury local lines. But look around and I'm sure within a mile you'll see high-tension lines going across the land, those are very expensive (very) to bury, because they give off quite a bit of heat.

The Strongest Evidence yet That an Animal Started the Pandemic
Here are some badly thought out reasons to return to the office:

1). Collaboration: Most of the time this makes no sense since teams are much more geographically distributed nowadays since Covid. Are you actually talking to people in person, or are you on the same zoom meetings all day?

2). Team Management: There are better ways to monitor if work is getting done than by checking if butts are in seats, and that doesn't include checking if your Teams bubble is green either.

3). Productivity: Some people are more focused and productive at work, and some people are more focused and productive at home. It depends on the way your brain works and what your office is like.

This is not to say returning to the office is a bad idea, but we need to be honest and realistic. There are actually good reasons for being in the office.

1). To have lunch with people in your building, or meet up with coworkers for happy hour after work.

2). If your office building is a nice place to work, has perks, and you enjoy being there. Are you able to focus and get work done, or is it busy and stressful? Does your office have events that are _actually_ fun, not just pretend work fun?

3). To have a separate place to compartmentalize work stress so you don't take it home with you. It's much easier to not think about work when you're working in a different place than you're sleeping.

Bonus: An internet connection with better upload speeds. This depends on your ISP, but typically in the U.S. unless you have FiOS it's very slow.
I wonder if there can be more ephemeral union like entities that help the labor market. I'd love to see a community that helps people organize strikes and coordinate between multiple companies. Strikes are one of the strongest tools a union has, but you don't need a union to organize them. It feels like we have the technology to create ad-hoc unions and support general labor advocacy and direct action without the need for a formal union (not saying they are necessarily bad).
So there are ways to make this interesting in the game and bring it back to balance. Some recommendations:

- The USI pulse nukes are expensive. Play on career mode so you are cash constrained and have to rigorously plan for their build, use, and refueling.

- Roleplay not using them anywhere near low home-planet orbit for fallout reasons. I.e. the ship is built and is parked in a shipyard in Cislunar space and kerbonauts must ride an intermediary shuttle vessel to crew it.

- Use a life support pack and planet mods that add interplanetary destinations. Having your kerbonauts on a nuke ship around an extrasolar planetary body far away from home with limited supplies will add plenty to the mix.

Oh, nice for reminding me, SSR is also better imho on Vue with Nuxt than anything in react world. Next.js has the tendency of monkey patching plenty of APIs, even broke native fetch when uploading anything bigger than 14 kbs.
Ah yea, if you are stuck using an over-priced Mac laptop as your main machine, and cannot upgrade the storage or use an external hard drive or NAS because of buggy Apple software, that would be a decent reason to keep some of your photos in an exported state instead of keeping the whole archive flat and available online at the same time. Even so, you _can_ buy a MacBook Pro with up to an 8TB drive, it just costs 2x what it should.

Docker is sunsetting Free Team organizations

Free Team organizations are a legacy subscription tier that no longer exists. This tier included many of the same features, rates, and functionality as a paid Docker Team subscription.

After reviewing the list of accounts that are members of legacy Free Team organizations, we’ve identified yours as potentially being one of them.

If you own a legacy Free Team organization, access to paid features — including private repositories — will be suspended on April 14, 2023 (11:59 pm UTC). Upgrade your subscription before April 14, 2023 to continue accessing your organization.

If you don’t upgrade to a paid subscription, Docker will retain your organization data for 30 days, after which it will be subject to deletion. During that time, you will maintain access to any images in your public repositories, though rate limitations will apply. At any point during the 30-day period, you can restore access to your organization account if you upgrade to a paid subscription. Visit our FAQ [1] for more information.

^ This. I think the more we internalize the fact that we're also basically LLMs, the more we'll realize that there likely isn't some hard barrier beyond which no AI can climb. If you watch the things kids who are learning language say, you'll see the same kinds of slip-ups that belie the fact that they don't yet understand all the words themselves, but nobody thinks that 2-year-olds aren't people or thinks they will never learn to understand these concepts.

That’s not true. Regolith contains plenty of nitrogen and carbon. The moon is basically a giant Bussard collector.

“Similarly, carbon and nitrogen have also been implanted from the solar wind. The amount of nitrogen in a cubic meter of lunar regolith is similar to the amount of hydrogen-about 100 grams, or 3 percent of the nitrogen in a human body. The amount of carbon is twice that, the carbon beneath each square meter of the lunar surface is some 35 percent of the amount found tied up in living organisms per square meter of the Earth's surface.”
