It's pretty simple. Subtract the value of food imports from the value of food exports. If the value is positive then the country is a net exporter, and if it's negative then they're a net importer. Every major country imports some foodstuffs and exports others, but countries with a trade surplus are generally better positioned to handle food price inflation.

I looked at my history and I'd say that my Google searches gone down by 90% in the last week.

I actually don't feel I have any need to use Google anymore. When I look for something - like a news or a website, I mostly get spam, so I use other search engines. For knowledge I use ChatGPT and if I think something isn't right in the reply I use a search engine to compare.

I think this is the end for Google.

What is interesting to me is that I've been thinking for years how Google is going to replaced, but never though it will be something like ChatGPT and that it will happen so rapidly.

I am very very impressed.
Read: We won't do it today or next week, since we got a bunch of negative publicity, but don't actually address why they didn't catch that it was a terrible policy.

They describe that they have come to the light and now realize the policy was bad, as well as the communication around it, but don't describe how they are actually going to address this fundamental misalignment with their userbase and out-of touch decision making.

That's useful for day-to-day issues, but if you're getting a lot of ambiguity that these folks have to address, someone higher up needs to write more.

I'm also pretty bad at things i only dabble in. My Spanish is terrible, but that's not because Spanish is an inherently flawed language. It's because I haven't put in the consistent work to get good at it.
Not much to add, just yet another corporate blunder for the history books. Reputational damage has been done, folks have left, and they won't get them back, IMO.
I liked NIM btw. But shark is not about a faster python, it ofers quite a few advantages: speed, size, hackability, ambiguity and lookahead free grammar, and foremost an insane portability and repertorie of libraries to use. The shark compiler is a few thousand lines but its output can be run as python, javascript, lua, java and native.

Carbon footprint depends on energy sources, not population density. 100,000 humans supplied with coal-fired electricity have a radically different carbon footprint from the same populations supplied with solar PV and wind electricity, and it doesn't matter whether they live in isolated households or in one skyscraper.

It's sad how most programmers are so terrible they need IDEs to automatically create stubs for required methods or getters and setters. They should have to type all of that out every time, and from memory, too! VIM with no plugins is the only way to do it!

Or, you know, smart developers use tools appropriate to the work, and some of us have figured out how to use this new tool before you have. That's okay, you can catch up!
Bookmarked this to read about optimizers, because it looks great.

That said, I clicked on the link because it had "6502" in the title. And... this isn't very interesting as a retrocomputing activity. To be blunt: there's absolutely no way in hell a compiler architecture like that is ever going to be self-hosting in 64k of memory space.

The problem I run into on HN all the time is I read exchanges like this and I don't know enough about said topic to verify if either party is right. I guess what I'm trying to say is there are lots of humans who say smart sounding things that to me at least seem believable, but another human disagrees with an equally believable sounding reply and I just go with my gut as to which one I think might actually be the case.

Which human is hallucinating? I don't know. Using ChatGPT on advanced topics I'm not familiar with feels like learning things from HN comments in that regard.
I write a lot of python code at work. Mostly tools, but sometimes protocol libraries for our testing framework and while I've sometimes gotten complaints about performance of some of my tools usually when I end up profiling the tool it spend most of its time outside of python. Which is why I am a bit curious why many people think python is so slow it is not worth even using.

Rhel7 is running a v3 kernel; the UEK will have a lot less to do.

I will admit that they are with a few point releases on rhel9.

Bootstrapping Trust with Anti-Interdiction
As opposed to the thing we did before, which is when kids asked something they were told something that's wrong and told to "stop talking back" and "go to your room". I think this is still an improvement.
Instead of spending engineering time, they used a free and open-source library to do less work.

The license they agreed to in order to use this library has this in capital letters. [THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND].

After agreeing to this license and using the library for free, they charged people money and sold them a service. And when that library they got for free, which they read and agreed that had no warranty of any kind, had a software bug, they wrote a blog post and blamed the outage of their paid service on this free library.

This is not another open-source project, or a small business. This is a company that got billions of dollars in investment, and a lot of income by selling services to businesses and individuals. They don't get to use free, no-warranty code written by others to save their own money, and then blame it and complain about it loudly for bugs.

They do have CPB, which does fund the likes of PBS and NPR among others. But even that has been called into question not too long ago and they were trying to push to defund CPB (even though it's budget is around $450m).
> Because it removes the explanation of the motivation that it will primarily benefit their personal usage.

Does it? I'd say that they have far more benefit of the project than the common commuter… it's just a different use. Their use is not merely commuting (they live in a palace and have a limousine and chauffeur and personal jet) but a tool for asserting and furthering their power and image… So yes, they very much have a personal interest in it. Also, vanity projects in corrupt and autocratic countries are often a way for the dictators and their nephews and goons to fill their pockets from state money. That too is way more benefit than the common commuter.

> the vanity only accrues to the top leadership, not to the thousands of middle-managers

The fact that such a vanity project isn't born from the vanity of middle managers doesn't change the fact that they too have a big personal interest in such projects. Playing your part well in a vanity project is what gets you promoted in autocratic and other totalitarian regimes.

> So it's extra significant that even with a 10x more corrupt structure, where the vast majority of said structure don't benefit from the vanity, it's still completed quicker.

The higher speed of authoritarian regimes when it comes to the decision making processes is nothing surprising but inherent to its nature: no checks and balances, no lawsuits or high standards to slow things down, just a simple top-down order structure. It's not good for the rights and freedoms of people, but it is inherently faster than a democratic system which requires to reach a wide consensus and to comply with a whole lot of complicated requirements.
I am actually looking forward for it. Because when competition arrives, Apple might stop behaving like a spoiled brat with its AppStore and start being a little bit developer friendly.
> For Altman, it’s not about money, either. One of the most surprising things in all of this is that he does not own even a tiny piece of OpenAI, which highlights the unusual nature of this company and the entire AI industry.

It's not in the cropped bit, but the original Semafor article this clips from closes with that
If you ask it to "write code to do X", then it will say that it can't write code. I think this was hardcoded.

But I asked Bard: "Can you implement fibonacci in Go", and it outputted valid code. And then I asked it "what if I wanted to avoid recursion", to which it replied with valid Go code that used a for loop. But it also suggested me another very bogus way of doing it, by using a "function pointer", which was very bad. F(x) would output x.

So, don't expect ChatGPT level of quality just yet, but I think it will get there pretty fast.
To summarize:

With TARP/EESA still in place Fed/Treasury have more power

"The economy is in a much different place"

XLK has subsumed XLF since 2008

"The magnitude of the problem is, so far, much smaller"

Look forward to my upcoming essay "Casting doubt on the commercial real-estate economy"

In conclusion, "we still don't see it coming" avoiding the term, "subprime" or acknowledging that predatory lending ever occurred, and this weird typo:

"[...] the primary facility *though* which banks can borrow [...]"
2015 for me as well. The episode they did on Hilary Clinton where they tried so hard to make her sound like she's just another friendly normal everyday Jane running for president turned me off NPR. I didn't even mind Hilary as a presidential candidate, just the way NPR did it was so obvious.
GamePass was a pretty big gamechanger. Looks like 2017. VSCode made a pretty big splash in its market too, from 2015. So not Google Search or Maps level, but solid, disruptive offerings that they've maintained in the last decade.

I'm struggling to even come up with any Google products in the post-Android timeframe that I use as much as those two...

And regardless, MS doesn't need to switch gears to compete with this even if you discount those. They're running out in the lead already. Question is if Google can still run.

Devil's advocate:

Are these companies doing this to control the new standards or are they doing this because adhering to the web standard (both that you linked, I think?) puts them in a position where they'll be captive to an even larger committee (any web standards body), making it so any changes will take longer to push through, and implementation costs will be higher?
So, 9 years ago at best? And that's being quite generous since I wouldn't exactly say HoloLens transformed anyone's life. In fact I don't believe I've even heard the word HoloLens even uttered by anyone in real life...

VS Code? Teams?
Or the team is on a new project and after ten attempts to get new owners have an outlook rule to delete any mails about the old project.

The only way to do cert renewal at an org level is one well organized team of not creative software types. yeah yeah the team will automate but in the meantime someone has to check all the dates carefully. And usually good public certs can't be fully automated, at least in the deploy bit.

I heard about a new cert once with a longer private key that cauaed all the terminating F5s to fall over due to out of CPU
Nor big too?
A small note I do not have seen so far in comments here: the article told about "easier backup", actually I strongly disagree. I do keep some configs I've write myself/edited myself. Most of the rest are automatically made stuff useless to be backed up and sometimes also inopportune to restore since a version to another some (cr)applications do badly digest their own automatic config.
Too late for me personally.

Already deleted accounts of my projects and switched to GHCR/Quay.io with a custom domain redirect [1] to avoid this happening again.

ChatGPT: My Conformist Double in the Neoliberal Hunger Games
Certainly many sites with tons of tracking are worse than most internal sites. You will not get a disagreement from me on that.

I can't really cite examples, as I'm not at the old job. But silly things like our "news" homepage was getting so that it lazy loaded all of the news. HR things would load in parts, too. And issue tracking seemed to constantly be a mess.

The tool my team controlled had bloated to excessive points. Some of that was almost certainly my fault. I had designed a somewhat granular backend. That said, I remember things were certainly faster before we had a ton of redux based code to do things.
I still refuse to use Dockerhub and I cannot wait for Podman (and building multiarch containers) on Mac to get better so I can absolutely ditch anything Docker Inc or anything Mirantis touches all together. These are two companies I will NEVER trust again and will use whatever power I have to convince others to do the same.
Supermarkets in my area have a near monopoly and don’t meaningfully compete anymore - they can charge whatever people will pay. It’s all owned by Kroger and the nearest non Kroger supermarket is a dozen miles away.

The more likely explanation is that the author has excluded everything less than 100 meters in height. That's somewhere between 30 and 35 floors. You'll be using a "permanent" construction crane for anything greater than 10 or 12 floors - a lot of buildings that use a crane are simply not being counted.

FYI - in high-rise construction, the foundation is designed to have a space for the construction crane. It is anchored to the foundation at the beginning of the project and removed at the end. IE, for the duration of the project the crane is part of the building. Shorter buildings will have a "portable" crane, even if it is on-site for a long period of time.
Researchers reveal inaudible cyber-attacks on voice assistant devices
I don't think we exist somewhere on the line directly between your two extremes; I think there are more dimensions than that. It's true that for most of human history, the local availability of basic resources meant not having to transport lots of goods around. But that's just not modern society: even in resource-rich rural areas, the vast majority of goods on store shelves are from far, far away. If you want local stores to stock oranges all year, and smartphones, and plastic toys, resources are going to be moving thousands of miles no matter where humans live. Density ultimately just means fewer destinations for those goods, which can allow for optimization. High-density living is just more optimal in almost every way.
You mean the landed gentry don't want high-density low-income housing right next door, and so use environmental review to block such developments? This is probably true, although just buying the city politicians seems to do the job in most places.

To be honest, I was more thinking about how to build cities on Mars than that issue. High-density skyscrapers surrounded by dedicated agricultural production might be the best issue, although I suppose people will still fight each other over who gets to live on the top floor with the best views...
This paper is pretty approachable and goes over the "scaling laws" in detail:

In short, yes. More data, higher quality data, more epochs on the data. That is the name of the game.
It is not good at that kind of novelty, but my impression is that the difficulty is that it is limited to a single pass through the network - such "loops" as there are are "unrolled" within the network, into a very limited stack depth [0] (it would be very interesting to analyze these networks for self-similarity).

If you want it to solve arbitrarily complex problems, you need to set up some sort of loop. People are already feeding the outputs back in as input in various primitive ways, but I suspect the real breakthrough will come when someone trains some sort of recursive transformer from scratch. (Assuming the current networks waste neurons in unrolling loops, we might possibly even see smaller models).

[0] Try the following family of prompts: "_ is an example of _, which is an example of _, which is an example of _...." etc to a depth of your choosing. At some point it bottoms out and you can't get any more levels out of it.

Long story short: they reduce costs (thinner cans, no need for heavy marketing because fixed price is the marketing) and aren't greedy, playing the long game.
X needs to Y stuff bothers me because it’s a “everyone must be like me because I’m like me and that’s the way things are.” I gain none of the things the author attributes to writing. I don’t gain much by drawing pictures either. I do better by thinking a lot then talking it through with someone.

I think a better way to think about it is if you have a team, there’s probably someone on it that gets more done by writing it down and another person who does better by drawing it and another by coding it and another by talking it through. So, talk it through and explain the plan to stakeholders, write it down for everyone to have a definite written explanation of what was talked about, draw the diagrams to explain in pictures what’s complex in words, and code a POC to make it real - and do it together as a team. don’t tell everyone else to be like you, enjoy that they are them and they’re on your team filling the gaps. A sports team isn’t composed of uniform cogs, they take roles that exploit their natural abilities.
At least we know that we're on borrowed time and maybe the wider ecosystem can come up with a decent (distributed, even?) alternative instead of everybody panicking and just moving toward another rug-pull.
I don't see how making ChatGPT write a dissertation for every silly question would be an improvement. The user wanted a quick, rough answer that would give him some perspective on the energy need of humans - and he got it. It's unlikely that someone who asks that question actually wants that degree of rigor - and if they did, then they would specifically ask for it.

Conciseness matters. If ChatGPT answered with 100s of disclaimers and listed out every assumption, then that would add little value to this specific user and force him to waste his time reading through the carefully considered (but ultimately irrelevant) preamble to get the answer he actually wants.

> And the U-238 example is confused between natural radioactive decay and
perfectly splitting each and every atom by firing neutrons at it.

ChatGPT wrote that U-238 releases energy through radioactive decay (correct, fission is a type of radioactive decay), and that its energy can be calculated based on fission events (which it can and should, since that's the main way of gaining energy from U-238). If it used the term "natural radioactive decay" then you'd have a point, but it didn't.
