It's not your imagination, the 1.0 version of the spec was/is widely referred to as MVP - "Minimum Viable Product" - and it was an ordeal just getting that across the finish line. It's why so many things are missing. The rest of the ecosystem naturally inherited that state of readiness.

Why firing up an old F1 car can take hours
There's a pretty common complaint about "traditional" finance and the banking system from the pro-crypto crowd that it lets "special" private parties "create money" in addition to central banks. The sort who will say things like "why do banks get to create money, why can't I??" That's the specific bit I thought was being hinted at.

> Creating a successful company creates value. Creating value often results in creating movement of money. The velocity of money in the economy is a loose proxy for the overall health of the economy.

It creates money in the same way a loan does. There are no new dollar bills printed, and yet people behave as if those dollars are in more places at once. People pull forward future (expected) company revenue to put a current value number on the company and then they exchange money for parts of that company, and adjust their spending habits based on that present value. Like how in a loan they pull forward a future value of the sum of their expected payments on the loan, in order to increase the velocity of those dollars that were loaned out vs them sitting in a mattress.

I suppose my quibble is that the concepts of "creating value" vs "creating money" distinction is largely meaningless in a world where we have so many mechanisms for exchanging money for the expectations of future money or value. Or even for the derivatives of those expectations!
I don't know what you're even talking about here.

Intel's "Horse Creek" RISC-V SoC is build on Intel 4, which is a "vaguely recent node". So recent, it's the first chip made using it. You'll be able to buy a board using those around August or so. Working chips were shown at a conference last September.

Ventana's "Veyron 1" RISC-V SoC uses either TSMC 5nm or 3nm. Those are also "vaguely recent". That's an 8-wide 3.6 GHz core, btw, like Apple M1/M2, well ahead of Intel, AMD, or ARM itself.

As for "Power management, coherency fabric, there's so many other things mobile chips are great at, tuned at", if you are someone who already has such as chip, such as oh I don't know Qualcomm or Samsung or for that matter Rockchip or Allwinner, and you already have ARM-based chips with all that stuff, and you swap out the ARM cores for RISC-V cores -- then you still have all that non-core stuff.

I think NESFab is a medium level programming language targeting the NES 6502. On NES, the Decimal flag has no effect.

GNU Compiler Collection no longer targets 6502, but an older version of the GNU C Compiler could. LLVM targeting 6502 is limited. There is also the cc65 cross compiler. [1]

LLVM [2] and GCC [3] are compiler and toolchain technologies. The name Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) is no longer officially an acronym, and the GNU C Compiler is now the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

Barred from US tech, Huawei claims to have built its own 14nm chip design suite
Even though Google returns results instantly, for most things I still have to evaluate and click links and skim them for the information I want. Sometimes I have to do multiple searches (like one for retinol and another for beta-carotene in the following example).

Yesterday I heard about retinol (vitamin A) mentioned in a nutrition podcast. I know carrots are high in vitamin A, but I didn't think they had retinol, so I wanted to learn more about that.

I whipped out my phone and asked GPT-3 "retinol vs. the vitamin A in carrots" (something I know you usually can't ask Google).

A few seconds later, I learned that retinol is vitamin A's final form in the body, thus you get it directly from animal products, and beta-carotene—found in plants—is a precursor to retinol in the body.

I do these kinds of searches all day. One thing faster about GPT as well is that I don't have to consider the "query engineering" to make Google return what I want, I just ask GPT a question streamed from my consciousness.
On a related note, I wonder how soon we'll see a "copilot" for Microsoft Azure that does deployments etc using AI, even piping it into Azure CLI.

>I still have not figured out why the holy hell there isn't commercial real estate built along with all sound transit stations. We have these large expensive stations that are devoid of any commercial activity, meanwhile Japan sticks Michelin Star restaurants in their transit stations.

In general, the opposite complaint has been raised: US station platforms are too large!

I don't know how they do it in Japan, but the train station in Rome has all of the services above ground in a normal building, away from the tracks, while when I've seen coffeeshops and the like at subways in the US, they're often on the platform or at least underground. DC has some truly cavernous stations full of a lot of signs and stale air (and not much else).

So it seems like part of the problem is that the subway authority is confined to an unreasonably tight definition of where they can operate, and then they try to cram a camel through the eye of the needle.
I agree.

Arguably these are sort of the same thing. Being subject to the whims of the committees is a competitive disadvantage, since the committees are largely controlled by big corporate players. So if you create a new competing standard you control, it's 2-for-1: Not only are you no longer subject to the whims of big companies, but you get to set the rules.

One of the upsides to using the big committee standards is that the big companies often have a reference implementation you can use, which is a time-saver. But then you can hit sharp edges or limitations.

JPMorganChase bought Bear Stearns for $2 a share in 2008, but this is entirely unlike UBS acquiring Credit Suisse this past week?

https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/17/business/17bear.html

Credit Suisse shareholders were paid in shares of UBS, in a major value writedown, quite comparable to the JPMChase deal for Bear. Certain select shareholders (Saudi Arabia and Qatar) seem to have been protected while others (AT1 bondholders) were not.

Patrick Boyle's YT channel is doing a great job on this, first became aware of it during the SBF spectacle, just as good now:

https://youtu.be/hV0gpO1B6tU

> "UBS was clear from the very start that they would only participate in the deal if it was cheaply priced and if UBS could be indemnified from any of the legal issues that Credit Suisse was potentially facing... 'This is no bailout', the Swiss finance minister said, 'This is a commercial solution'"

So the difference is what, it's more globalized this time around? Note that indemnity provision was likely informed by fallout from the JPMChase deal for Bear, see this 2013 Reuters Blurb:

> "New York state’s lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co. alleging fraud in mortgage-backed securities sold by Bear Stearns may be one of the broadest cases to come out of the financial crisis..."

It seems quite familiar. Investment capitalism goes belly up once again due to short-sighted greed and a lack of regulation, and the government steps in to cover the losses for the fearless risk-taking entrepreneur class (who have bought most of the politicians) in what certainly looks like an 'entitlement program'... while libertarians everywhere remain curiously silent. Con artist much?

Social safety nets for the billionaire investors are needed to prevent societal collapse, it seems. But who cares about all the homeless encampments, they should have learned how to program... it's their own fault, and people need to take responsibility for their actions...

I've been using ChatGPT for a personal project, just a website with some interactive content. Integrating ChatGPT into my workflow boosted my productivity by a factor of 10. Instead of slowly formulating a plan in my head, looking up how to implement different parts piece by piece, and coming through docs, I simply told ChatGPT what the goals of my project were, and asked it to come up with a base. It literally spit HTML, CSS, and JS at me that worked the first try (for the base). It's not quite at the level where it can do the full project, but it is astoundingly competent at implementing pieces of it, and that is truly revolutionary.

In a nutshell, a project that would have taken me a week took me a day. I'm sold.

> Engineers who don't mind reading and are able to read attentively

One very direct application of this skill in day to day engineering is just reading and correctly interpreting error logs and stacktraces.

It's pretty incredible how often that's just the cause of a bug being literally given verbatim, if one can only engage with the message on its terms and frame of reference, and parse out the info from it that's meaningful in the context of the software you're writing (and not, for instance, expecting the error message to somehow do that work for you, which is often impossible).
Your question quickly progressed from polite inquiry to decidedly confrontational and personal. I kind of loved it. :) I'm sorry about what happened to your sister's disabled kids.

The general reason parents can confidently provide primary education is that a) good educational materials are easy to research and acquire, b) the benefit of education closely tailored to a child's strengths and weaknesses meets or exceeds the benefit of institutional pedagogical theory and classroom management skills.

In secondary education years, access to material and closely meeting needs still factors, but the parents' operating principle is increasingly about pulling in the best sources available. That often means community college or part-time high school classes.

There are also a lot of homeschool co-ops, pods, and other resource and skill-sharing arrangements. Lots of variety.

All your examples of authority figures are trained to be effective over a high volume of lower trust interactions with the general population, relying on professional incentives to perform. They are needed but they're most effective when complementing and backing up parents who cannot for whatever reason provide care, correction and education at home.
Not happening. If you compile something to Lua assigning a key to nil will erase it, python and javascript will keep it. Pheraps making a special NullObject value to fill these slots would be a good idea, but you could not interact seamlessly with the target system and probably get a speed penalty.

Having the exact behavoir in all platforms is not possible in some cases, and these are the cases left 'undefined' in the handbook.

Hope this clears things a bit ;)

How is it that literally nobody – whether deploying a hobby project or working at Microsoft or Google – has ever been able to figure out cert rotation?

Ground beef prices at Costco went up a boat load as well. Costco only sells things at most a 2% markup so Costco prices are a pretty good metric for inflation.
You don't need 24/7 SREs, you could do it with 24/7 first-line customer support staff monitoring Twitter, Reddit, and official lines of comms that have the ability to page the regular engineering team.

That's a lot easier to hire, and lower cost. More training required of what is worth waking people up over; way less in terms of how to fix database/cache bugs.
Leading OpenAI in an altruistic direction rather than a profit-seeking one.
Great, we can get authoritative answers. (I'm trying to understand the ML space and have mostly done readings, not an expert.)

I am assuming you can have n LoRA fine-tunings, say each specializing in one aspect of a coherent task, with n summers, running in parallel, and then combine them at the end? Or more generally, does LoRA enable a sort of modularizing around a core (un-merged) model?

And curious if you ever tried merging 2 or more fine-tunings and then testing the resultant single model (merge all) against the original tests to check retention?
I don’t think Straw man means what you think it does. As I pointed out with the cases of the invasions of Iraq and Libya, both of which it is clear in hindsight were based on false pretenses, a major reason the US has such an enormous standing military with bases around the world is to protect the value of the US dollar.

Again, it is not a straw man to point out that both the military and Bitcoin miners both serve to protect the value of their currencies, or that while both consume a lot of energy, the US military consumes 1 million times as much energy as Bitcoin mining.

Unsure. Clearly, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank aren't making a case for big banks right now. But in light of TBTF, and the sole benefit of public ownership being scale, the tradeoff just doesn't seem to make sense for mid-sized banks.

First Republic is sweating every down tick. You know who aren't? OneWest. FirstBank. MidFirst. Eastern. Nobody is writing stories about their stock price because it's not publicly traded.

I don't know anything about your specific situation, needs, and preferences, but GPUs are not self evidently useless for blind users. In some systems, they can contribute to higher quality speech synthesis. They could also have a role to play in vision support tasks (e.g. determining whether you're properly positioned in front of your webcam in a video chat, or recognizing and describing something you're holding up to your camera).
Engineers don't assess every molecule of the materials they construct bridges out of. Doesn't mean they're not accountable when one collapses.

Also, your saying doesn't mention anything about people who point out to others who should be stoned. I'm assuming that's okay, as well as letting people know what they did that would deserve a stoning. Just in general, not advocating anyone be stoned.
Whole point is that Dockerhub dared to ask for money instead of hosting your stuff for free and paying for the bandwidth.

The reason why Github is free for normal users it that Microsoft extracts value out of the code you host there, by at least training their LLM. Same will apply for your docker containers.

This is part of the Embracing open source.

Now they have already started selling Copilot and with CopilotX bringing new AI assisted stuff to code reviews and pull requests even more people will migrate over.

This is part of the Extending.

Then after they have everyone they can get to use Github and they have extracted all value from your code they will move to the last step and ask you to pay for hosting your stuff and while git is free to use and you can setup your own servers the general UX will be so much better that even hobbyist will pay.

This is the Extinguishing

This assumes that

a) raw ingredients didn't go up in price either. They did: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35291270

b) making food from raw ingredients is cheaper than buying (at least some of the ingredients) pre-made. Again, it isn't for a surprising number of foods because, you know, economies of scale. Prime example is bread.
Disagree. Making certs expire more frequently will actually make the problem less likely to happen.
Bit of a tangent, have you tried CloudFlare tunnels for what you're doing? Literally one liner to install cloudflared and boom service is on the internet with Cloudflare in front. I've even used it in cases where my host was behind multiple layers of NAT - just works. If you're concerned with speed and performance I guarantee it will blow away your current approach (while giving you all of the other Cloudflare stuff). Of course if you hate CF (fair enough) disregard :).

I use this for an optimized hosted Whisper implementation I've been working on. It hits 120x realtime with large v2 on a 4090 and uses WebRTC to stream the audio in realtime with datachannels for ASR responses. Hopefully a "Show HN" soon once I get some legal stuff out of the way :). I mention it because AFAIK it's many multiples faster than the OpenAI hosted Whisper (especially for "realtime" speech).

I expect we'll see these kinds of innovations and more come to self-hosted approaches generally and the open source community will pull a web hosting, etc Microsoft vs Linux/LAMP/etc 1990s/early 2000s situation on OpenAI where open source wins in the end. The fact that MS is so heavily invested in OpenAI is just history repeating itself.
