A single class is too little to really learn anything. As a rule of thumb, a semester of full-time work is enough to learn one "thing". That thing can be wide, in which case you get an overview of the topic, or it can be narrow, allowing you to dive deeper. Anything less, and the only thing you'll likely retain is a random selection of ideas and factoids.

If the degree nominally takes 4 years to complete, you have enough time to learn approximately 8 things. Use one slot for a subject, and most universities will give you an introduction to the topics covered by the subject. Use another, and then you may start understanding the arguments and issues in one subfield.
It says he's in his house (not starbucks, as an example). In that setting a coffee cup makes me think of a ceramic mug. If it had a lid I would call it travel mug.

Because it was the one area I was familiar with. The others... not so much. But if I was in classes contemporary to the test and had paid attention, I probably would have.
What does Amazon pay for outbound bandwidth?

I know what we pay for data center bandwidth. It’s priced by pipe size not transfer and works out to well under one cent per gigabyte, and that is with no scale compared to Amazon. Everything gets cheaper at scale unless it’s labor intensive.
Google is irresponsible (current, not past tense, is and was always).

Everything after that is fair game.
Tell HN: Searching for SVB on HN gives you a timeline of what happened
I just realized that searching HN for "SVB" by date gives you a blow by blow account of what happened to SVB. According to the HN timeline the trouble began 9 days ago. That'll be around March 9th.

I don’t believe them to be the same. I have friends who repeat words to me GPT style, that I know them to be imprecise in the spirit of the discussion.
I take a lot of supplements and here are the things I want to know:

- Which supplements have a specific ingredient

- If they have the ingredient how much is in each capsule or pill

- The price per unit quantity of the ingredient

- Often I am looking for one specific compound, so I want to find only supplements that don't have any other compounds, or at least know exactly what other compounds are in their formula (without looking at each one individually)

- For supplements that are extracts, I want to know if they are standardized, what they are standardized to, and the % of that compound in the product.

- If there is a Certificate of Analysis (and what it says and a link to it would be great)

- If they are organic

- Country of origin

- If they are tested for heavy metals

- If the company has ever been found to have products that don't contain what they state, or are unsafe in another way, and how recently and how often

- If the products are freshness dated, and how long a shelf life is claimed

- Where to get them at the lowest price, including shipping

What I don't want is what Google does: I don't want to see other similar sounding compounds when searching for a specific one.

Also, are you planning to charge for access to this? Not sure if people will pay for it on a subscription basis. I wouldn't, because I only sometimes look for something new.
I still recall very well how frustrating "buffer under-runs" were...in a day and an age when we really need a real-time OS, but we simply weren't running them.

I can't decide if I love this doc or if it gives me post traumatic stress. This is another subject I haven't thought about in years as it has faded out, but having dealt with all the different permutations of CD writable I had forgotten just how many different variations there actually were, and how long the industry kept trying to improve the tech.
The short answer: If the Client is happy then you won.

The bigger question that should be asked is, on a global scale, how much is being wasted indulging architectural whimsy? Excessive use of materials, energy efficiency compromised for appearances, conditioned space lost to giant lobbies...
It's my rule of thumb that the only numbers one should find in code are 0 and 1. Anything else is a magic number and needs to be handled accordingly.
Agreed.

Kudos to OP for getting this out!

One piece of advice. Please show what you’ve built to non-technical online communities that really care about this stuff. I think you’ll find way more positive attention from older groups on Facebook, Reddit, and specialty supplement/patient/disease/exercise forums.

— WARNING —

Outside of FOSS, developer tools or “look what I made for my portfolio” projects, I really don’t know why people post affiliate or micro-SaaS things to HN.

Unless you already have some momentum, I would be extremely wary of posting “one man” ideas to HN. There are too many negative stories on here of people having not only their ideas stolen but people wholesale copying their content/data/UI.

The OnlineOrNot guy and a few others have complained about this a few times already.

Best of luck!

Does this need an editor? Or is their lawyer just illiterate.
No.

While there is some noise from the injectors (in some gas-direct injection engines you can hear them as well, if you listen carefully) the sound you are hearing in an old diesel, that handful-of-marbles-in-blender-clatter, is due to the more abrupt combustion in a diesel engine in general (only air is compressed, and the fuel burns almost instantly on injection) and imprecise/poor timing of the old mechanical injection systems. Modern common-rail electronic-injected diesels are almost as quiet as gas engines.
I'd definitely explicitly add business to the first entry. Sure you can work in business without a degree, but the experience with the mathematics and ideas that you learn is definitely a huge benefit.

I mean it wasn’t the biggest issue in the world once you know the root causes? If I was writing a ton of stuff I made sure to create an iso first so there’s not much of random files being searched for. And also learn your machines limits and write at a conservative speed..
Oh man I could not disagree more. “Math facts” don’t require any sort of conjuring, in fact cease to seem mystical at all, once you have a deep understanding of the material. Take your favorite math textbook—do you seriously think the author wrote all that down by rote memorization? Of course not: it came naturally as a byproduct of study. Memorization for the sake of memorizing is the worst possible way to learn mathematics.
The whole "user interaction" permissions model should just be scrapped for an unmute button in the browser chrome.

I’m already struggling to do this with ChatGPT-4 release.

It’s very hard to discern what’s real. Someone posted a tweet today that it’s developed the ability to reason. Then someone showed evidence probably not able to reason. This is bad.

Here in lies the problem, we’re losing track of know what is real, what things are capable of, it’s a very stupid situation we’ve put ourselves in.

How do you trust a black box ? How do we trust a web that is full of potential lies and hallucinations.

It’s so stupid that I’m starting to really wonder that if most of our intellectual intelligence is really that valuable and what automating the hell out of it will actually look like.

I do think others might be right, at least for a while, face to face interactions might become more valuable again, not less.

Wild idea, the end of the information age is nigh?

Recently, for the first time in living memory, I actually thought that I should consider starting a library of physical books to safeguard against not having access to "real" information.
A few years ago I mentioned a certain configuration needing a cross-over cable. Never heard of Auto MDI-X... I guess one can get through life using cross-over cables and straight cables where they used to be required, but you're going to cause confusion if you ask for a x-over cable at a shop.
> to make college seem like a crisis or a waste of money, when coding camps are worse

You really have no comparative data here. College is a life-crushing mistake for millions of people. I'm not trying to defend or condemn BloomTech (I really don't know if the allegations are true) but it's 100% true that two competing things can both be extremely bad.
Growing up in Springfield, IL (3 hours south of Chicago), most of the pizza served ourside of chains was the ultra thin crunchy square-cut pizza mentioned in the article (or NY-esque Neapolitan slices).

Vic's (rip)
Sam's (rip)
Gabatoni's
Joe's
JT Costello's (more recently)

all served delicious crunchy thin crust with heavily spiced sauce cut thin and usually sent out covered in paper. Any bar that didnt serve frozen pizzas served a variation of this thin crust pie.

Notably, Gallina's Pizza and Lucca Pizza were both Neapolitan style.
CDs are CLV, at least according to Wikipedia.

But that probably doesn‘t prevent drives from operating them as CAV, as long as they vary the read/write rate accordingly.

I don’t read it that way at all, FWIW. I read it as using static types as an obvious example of language features which have been shoehorned onto JS because the language doesn’t provide a thing code authors strongly wish it did. I would read it the same way if the example had been JSX, and I quite like all of static types, TypeScript’s type system semantics specifically, and JSX as a general purpose way to define out of band DSLs.
With the drive spinning at a particular constant RPM (which is what they do), then the data rate is the same no matter where you are reading the disc.
That's a fair argument, and I can't dispute it. Thinking about this made me reflect a different way to put it. It shouldn't be one vs. the other, but rather, 4chan (and similar forums) are a meta reading of the news and train you to see blind spots or what's not being reported, listen to arguments from both sides of the aisle, and sprinkles a healthy dose of skepticism. After all, most of the discussion revolves around an extract from a maintream newspaper article or mainstream personality, so you're exposed to the "mainstream viewpoint" no matter what.

So the bottomline of what I'm trying to say would be: if you exclusively consume mainstream news, you're probably more vulnerable to adhere to a narrow viewpoint, and maybe not even know there are people who disagree.

Similar to how HN operates when discussing a blog post, especially clickbaity posts -- when reading the comments you may see that there's more to the story or that the author is wrong about something. Sometimes that has helped me get a more nuanced perspective on a specific topic.
We Ditched REST and Went with GraphQL: Here’s Why
The Jevons paradox was noted in the 19th century when the world was far less wealthy than today. Recent American monetary policy has little relevance.

There’s many more examples if you look up induced demand - a similar effect is the Downs–Thomson paradox, where adding more roads increases traffic congestion in the long term. You may see a short term improvement (the same way a struggling company that increases productivity will let go of employees) but eventually a new equilibrium is reached.
But considering that a lot of costs could be removed by cutting out the lending aspect of the bank business, wouldn’t this % become significantly lower? I imagine a good chunk of a bank’s budget is spent on loan management, risk assessment, marketing, etc.
This is coming.
Yes, you need input validation that enforces some kind of limit. But every layer of processing (function calls, RPC…) in the stack from the text entry through the network through the database engine to the disk doesn’t need to be concerned with the 200 character limit for a name.

The database can give you an error if the size is exceeded. The input field can warn the user about the limit. But the code that converts from the user’s chosen encoding to utf-8 doesn’t need to know anything about those limits.
They're usually garbage at that price point. The thing about a CD-changer though is that it usually guarantees that your existing system has a line-in for other devices.

But sometimes the integration requires you to have a donor audio CD constantly playing even though you've spliced into the audio feed.

One of the reasons I stopped doing UI work was the aggrevation of dealing with crap like this. I can fake being patient until I can't. Then I'm just done.

People like Hollender who can humor all POVs -- because stakeholders, experts, trolls, eeyores, and hairballs must all treated equally by the process -- are nothing short of saints.

What about things that are a part of one thing but also a part of something different? Molecules can be part of a bird or a pen or even independant. In such a case a bird requires molecules but molecules don't require a bird.
> Whatever the reason might be, rationally it's time to at least ask "can it ever make an impact"?

The reason is because it's been denied a chance by government regulation, due to a mixture of fossil fuel lobbyists and people's irrational fears stoked by propaganda designed to make it seem scary.

The answer to "can it ever make an impact" is yes, it can, using existing technology, right now. We just have to get rid of the regulations designed to destroy it.

For me the person that had changed the fate of Europe is Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer. Never heard of him?

Well Julius Cesar was supposed to receive command of Cisalpine Gaul and Illyricum. And his plan for winning glory (and money) was provoking a war and conquering in North East direction - Balkans and perhaps with his usual impetus toward Central Europe, perhaps as far as today's Ukraine.

But a person that have been nominated for Transalpine Gaul command Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer had died unexpectedly and his imperium have been passed to Julius Cesar.

Now imagine that Julius Cesar and his legions had conquered Central and Eastern Europe while Western Europe had been left alone. And Augustus and further Cesars will continue in this direction.
Why is software different from any other tool? Hammer manufacturers don't expect me to subscribe to their hammer service. Yet they somehow stay in business.

(To anticipate the "software lasts forever" argument: no, it doesn't, and it certainly doesn't last as long as a hammer. I doubt anything I'm running on my computer was built more than five years ago. There are SMBs running Windows 95 on a 386, but if they really bought something perfect for their needs 25 years ago, great!)
Yeah, ever since hearing about the episode where they investigated whether harmonics can take down a building...and they strapped a jackhammer to a 10' I-beam...I've been taking their stuff with a massive grain of salt.

I find these apparently hot takes like Booch and even Chomsky to be pretty shallow.

“We don’t really know how or why it works, but we are certain it doesn’t work like this”.

These systems are constantly being compared to perfectly rational humans, and getting the wrong answer seems to be taken as being a fault. But in a world of flat-earthers and truthers, why is the bar for general intelligence being set so high for LLMs? I struggled to follow the word puzzle and I’m not even a flat earther. And ISTM that gpt4’s treatment of a sippy cup revealed a problem with the question, not the answer.

Although I’m far from an expert, I find it difficult to understand why the brain couldn’t be just an optimised form of these LLMs. My (ignorant) supposition is that researchers will find shortcuts to these models that will have similarities the brain: for example, particular natural language structures (like subject-verb-object ordering) could be found to improve model efficiency in some unexpected way, reducing the cost of the models - something evolution does naturally. I mean, unless you believe the brain can’t be modelled mathematically, at some point we have to accept that we are approaching some kind of effective model.

It seems to me that the “it can’t be so” are being a bit unscientific. If there was hard evidence that LLMs were one way or another then it would be presented. Instead, currently all we seem to get is a bunch of opinions from Important People.

But they are appeals to authority, not science.
It can also be 100% true that one competing thing can be worse than the other even if they are both bad

Coding camps charge $10k of more, some require a certain percentage of income, and you don't even get a credential. How many companies are looking for coding camp graduates, compared to companies that are looking for college grads?

College is a life-crushing mistake for millions of people.

It is a mistake if you do not graduate, but the data shows grads earn way more and have half the unemployment rate of high school grads.
An incentive issue I am referring to is LabDoor is funded by companies - their business model is affiliates + requiring a fee from companies to list their products. Also their selection is very limited and testing methods opaque. I want to populate the table with one click access to CoA's and product testing.

It wouldn't be good propaganda if I could easily boil it down to a few facts and dismiss it wholesale.
I think that was part of the OPs point: in general, we aren’t familiar with all that they were testing for, so cherry-picking the domain you feel comfortable answering kinda proves their point rather than negating it.

Not that it really proves anything in the larger scope they seemed to imply. At least, not anymore than losing on the old show “are you smarter than a fifth grader?”

Up to W7 it was quite well behaved. Afterwards, it was like Microsoft ensured there was debris clogging the emergency exits before setting the whole building on fire, to make hard for people to escape. Now W11 is full of dark patterns and tracking, and dual-boot is broken. Beginners lost a easy way to get their feet wet on Linux without upfront commitment to a full switch.
> Note: IGBT = insulated-gate bipolar transistor, which is basically the technical term for traditional silicon.

How can you take an article seriously when it says this? IGBT is a type of transistor, which one can make out of silicon, germanium, GaAs, and many other semiconductors, including SiC. It is not the opposite of SiC - it is orthogonal.

It does not get better further:

>generally, a two-inch increase in the wafer size translates into twice as many chips on a single wafer

Yeah..that would only happen if you go from approx 7 to approx 9 inches. Geometry...
I think the actual assumption is that we are currently seeing just one direction of the arrow of time, but if there is no arrow of time, maybe we are already seeing the future and not realizing it is the future.

I commented further in this line of though in another comments, about a probable (ironically), "Inverted 2nd. Law of Thermodynamics" of sorts, which it would be basically just the Law of Probability, interpreted from the point of view of not having an actual arrow of time and the fact that we have - all the time, again ironically - the information of what happens in the future (the one probability in the range which ends being the right one, actually ocurring).

Yeah, I know it would be another Law, and the universe would upside down once again for us the poor meatbags, but we were already in this position several times, discovering the electricity, quantum mechanics, relativiy, you name it.
USB keys have a big problem of being writeable. Sometimes you want something that is written once, and once only, and you know it has not been altered.
