Blaming wages for inflation is a misconception. Wages are always the last to increase with inflation - because the purpose of inflation is to exploit more resources from those who actually work and earn wages.
> Amazon is basically a "premium" Wish/Aliexpress nowadays

That's an interesting point, and it got me thinking: why do I continue buying from Amazon over AliExpress etc.?

Pretty simple answer, really: logistics. I can order an adapter from Amazon and have it here by 6 PM tonight. The same thing off AliExpress will take a week or more to get here.

If Wish or AliExpress can figure out near-same day delivery, they could put a sizeable dent in Amazon's market share.
Redis provides indexes for vector similarity. And we have a lot of experience with Redis. We see a future where we can offer more than one datastore, and we’ve been considering Qdrant as the next datastore to support.
it's not apples to apples. Older founders usually have a network they can tap into, yes, but also usually have a lifestyle that requires a bit more than the average college grad. One thing I've told folks who ask "how do I start a startup with little money?" "You start with what you got". Sometimes selling things off to reduce your expenses to be able to give your startup more runway. Or not take any money at all (I met with a pair that did this for almost 2 years!).

In the end, it's all situational. Younger founders are lower maintenance to the balance sheets and have more potential but it's more risk. I'm not a VC so I couldn't say what goes into the decision making there other than "he's younger and smarter so I'm betting on this horse".
Not really, italian law rules in italy, that's out of question.
Lot of people hating on his 'architecture' that are a bunch of 'architecture astronauts'.

This is a kid that saw a need and went out and did it. His PHD is “currently completing my PhD in Water Resources Engineering”. So, this work is pretty amazing as a hobby, a side line to his PhD.

Isn’t that what Open Source is all about, jumping in and filling a need, not “waiting until I’m a grizzled 30 year veteran of the corporate IT wars, then deciding to do something with a perfect architecture”.
Yep! We want to democratize access to core preventative cloud security features that companies like Wiz offer.

And as open source, we hope it can be more transparent, easier to try out, more configurable, and offer better shift left functionality!
We interpret what we hear, make a mental representation of that (incrementally; this process sometimes fails), which links to concepts, which in turn can link to memories, then "look for the answer" (if it's a question) by association and puzzling, the former is pretty quick, the latter slow, check if the answer makes sense, and formulate a reply. We can start formulating a reply from similarly formed structures while completing the thought, because we monitor our speech. When that happens, you often say "er..."

That's basic linguistics and cognitive psychology. Nothing an LLM has done has invalidated that.
Sure it comes down to incentives.

It will be more profitable for Amazon to do nothing, than to address the problem.
I bet someone's already made a game from before/after pairs such that the smallest Levenshtein distance can give the biggest possible change in meaning to the entire seance.
There's no actual benefit to that, so I'm not sure it's the reason.
The two comments above you are discussing how this is kind of what workers signed up for when they joined a union. Maybe SB leadership are assholes (and maybe they are breaking labor laws -- I genuinely don't know much about this topic), and not to call you out specifically, but I see a lot "drive by" comments like these that are just expression of anger, and don't really engage with the story at all. I see a lot of non-programming discussions get buried in this stuff, and it makes HN feel like Reddit. I used to always feel like more likely than not I'd learn things from HN comments.

I’ve been working on a raspberry pi 0w based PID controller for my Gaggia.

It’s working quite well. I think the SD card based installation flow could really help a lot of people who would otherwise need to flash an MCU.

Currently it’s only doing PID temperature control. I’d like to benchmark model predictive control. I’d also like to do some of the more advanced features like pressure control, wire up a scale, and make a nice web UI.
The goal is...help community builders manage their Q&A..?

Yeah, it's a consistent finding that opposition to social programs is largely driven by propaganda. Name the programs, it's "rah, wasteful, cut it!" Talk about what it does, costs, actual e.g. overhead and fraud rates, without naming it, and people are like "that's great! We should use that instead of the wasteful, useless, fraud-filled [name of program you just described]!"

Shit, last I checked IIRC most people don't even understand how marginal tax rates work, which is something that directly affects most of them, is relevant every single year, and that is pretty easy to understand.

It's a miracle our democracy works even as well as it does. But, these results shouldn't be surprising, when you think about it—the average Christian, for example, hardly knows a thing about the belief system they claim holds the key to eternal life(!!!), which you'd think they might take super seriously and study with fervor, but most apparently do not. Why would we expect people to understand government any better than that?
Qdrant is awesome :). Redis also supports metadata filtering we’re currently building. We are considering adding a different data store option and Qdrant might be our next choice.
In many cases, you can enter any name. Have fun.
Firstly, an arena-based allocator is a custom allocator, which is something most programmers never need to touch and probably don't know even know about. It is a "low-level memory trick".

Secondly, we were talking about how Zig makes allocation first-class. This is a prime use case: specifying your own custom arena-based allocator.
ya that's the problem, every action has a reaction in the new world order of massive marketplaces. It would seem like there needs to be more buyer focus on the sellers reputation rather than the product.
At least let us set a flag! I have a private group chat with friends with a GPT-3 powered chat bot that's basically an iced coffee gay—it occasionally chimes in to add to the conversation, and speaks to when it's spoken to. (No, it is not a sexual group chat, nor does it predominantly contain adult content—we mostly talk about rockets, apps, wine, and 3D rendering). I think because my prompt tries to steer for the mildly chaotic personality of a true "iced coffee gay", that's enough to make GPT-4, well, uncomfortable.

I've been struggling to switch it over to GPT-4 because it is perhaps overaligned on what they care for, and even non-arousing (but a bit edgy) replies that it would used to give on GPT-3 are non existent now.
You still have to know who is coming, especially the number, to start a search and rescue operation if someone is suspected to be still in the sea.
Why is this included in the logic in the first place? Are terrorists sending payments via PayPal and including "ISIS membership fee, annual renewal" in the comments? It would seem to me that a keyword search like this is not an effective way to stop the flow of funds to sanctioned organizations. It's like scanning cancelled checks for the word "bribe" on the memo line.

Do you know if there is anything like this in the US? I've considered 1-3 month "trips" in the US, but the car rental ends up being quite expensive (to the point at which I've considered just buying and reselling the car). I'd be happy to front the full cost of the car if I was able to get some guarantee on the resale value, and didn't have to deal with selling the car itself.
I'm of the mind that gpt4 has just made you even better than before. Combine your skills with it, make yourself a consulting powerhouse. Tutor and teach others at a pace heretofore unknown. Your future may have just gotten a lot brighter!
> A scale is nice to follow instructions if you've never used an espresso machine before, but I don't think it is necessary. Or maybe my taste buds just aren't discerning enough :)

I manage to get a very good shot 9 times out of 10 just by eyeballing things. A scale might help, but I feel like my biggest variable is the state of the beans I'm using. I'll generally grind older beans a little finer, and fresher beans a little less fine to get the nice "fluffy" output. Based on that, I'll level and tamp, and adjust tamp pressure with older beans needing a bit more pressure.
When pulling the shot, I also look at the flow and crema color to know when to stop.

I started with timers and scales and rarely got a good shot, thanks to the varying quality of my beans. Learning to read the beans and adjust accordingly is what worked for me. For those with better quality beans, scales and measures can definitely help create reliably reproducible results.
The massive amount of money going into AI could invariably lead to the development of new and even more successful architectures. Although speculating on what and when would be like perfectly predicting the development of the Transformer architecture while living in 2010 or something.

Yeah this doesn't seem to be in line with the expected use or target market of Drive. It sounds like your tool is probably creating all the files acting as one service account, and therefore hitting the limit if it is indeed per user.

I think the rule of thumb I would use is that if you're creating the files in an automated way, and then accessing them outside of Drive interfaces, in all cases, then it's probably a better fit for a web app with cloud storage backend. Google Cloud Storage or S3 would work well for this.

My point is you don't need to go to college. I consider myself to be successful and this guy is definitely making much more than I am.

If college is worth it for everyone, why is there such a need for student loan forgiveness. If anything the market is self correcting since more and more people are skipping college entirely.

Do you have any affiliation to me or plan to affiliate with me or my projects? Then why you give a shit about what I write?

I'm assuming we two have at least one thing in common, we're here on HN to discuss things we come across, both submission articles and comments, since we're having a conversation right now. That's how this works.

So I came across something that I have feeling and opinion about, and that led me to share my opinion about it, as I care about my trade. You're welcome to ignore things even if you have opinions about it, but to request others to do the same in a forum that is meant for discussion, feels a bit unproductive.

Hmm. So far they only sold lifetime subscriptions priced at less than a years worth of monthly subscriptions. I would be scared to fail my subscribers if I run out of money and have to shut down.
Yes, I don’t disagree that these events occur, I disagree with your assertion that hiring these folks is why competitors can offer lower cost models. It’s because they’re more cost efficient.
I think we know why products are frequently returned.

1) Because some people just want to try stuff out at no cost.

2) Because some people made impulse buy.

3) Because some sellers sell defective/scammy stuff.

Now, the issue is Amazon will not tell you which category this is. You still have to rely on user reviews which still are yet another field of abuse.

I just don't think this move will change anything, only cause potential confusion.
amish != quaker, right? so I don't disagree with your comment about Quakers but I don't get what it has to do with the Amish?
> All my earnings so far are only lifetime deals. No one has yet bought a subscription. This is a little disappointing.

Your lifetime pricing is about the same as 6 months at the monthly rate. If everyone is choosing that option, its likely the lifetime price is too low, your monthly price is too high, or both.
The IT guy at a car dealership isn't expecting to pay full price for private schools and then complaining when it wipes out almost all of their take home pay. That's probably because the IT guy for a car dealership is making $70k not $500k a year.

Nobody's "descending a social class" by sending their kids to public school or having them do normal stuff, this is hysterical.
I agree that it can be pretty samey at times. Although, I've found it much better at delivering a wider variety of content than Youtube, where my recommendations consist of videos that:

* I watched once, 12 years ago.

* Sit in recommended for a week or more, despite my obvious lack of interest in them.

* Relate to some subset of recent topics.

It's strange how static Youtube recommendations appear to be as well. I often see the same set of Youtube Shorts for a few days at a time.

I do miss when forums were more popular. It's nice when you stumble across one that's still going.
Amazon isn't really cheaper for anything (unless you count getting a Duwuu 'brand' cable instead of a reputable brand as a discount).

Why do people (I?) order from amazon?

1. I don't mind taking $8 electronic devices apart and resoldering connections or doing basic troubleshooting

2. Often get a product in a day or three

3. I have no idea where I would buy a sediment filter (or similar specialized thing) that isn't walmart (and I live in a big city)

4. No need to go all around town to get things from different places (drive to the fire department for an alarm and then go to the pet store for a scratching post then go to best buy for an HDMI cable

5. They have all my details so I just click 'buy' and don't have to make a new account and deal with another retailer sending me a newsletter

6. I know that amazon will take my returns with no questions and I can drop it a few blocks away at the UPS store and I don't even have to put it in a box

That said -- there are definitely lists of things I would never order from them. SD cards/thumb drives, any easily 'adulterated' food product like honey or olive oil, cosmetics, anything I want to last that isn't a specific brand that I know for a fact isn't counterfeited and is a seller...etc

I think Giorgia Meloni isn't that opposed to the term Fascism, as long as it's clear that she doesn't share Mussolini's ideas on race.

> Some political movements here in the UK are (sadly) happy to be called far-right and trade on it.

Which is good, we should encourage honest labeling of political parties. The bad thing isn't that these parties are far-right or that they call themselves far-right, but that people vote for far-right parties (I would extend the same to far-left, in a European context). That problem won't go away by calling them something else though.
I'm confused why I don't see any calls here for regulation. It seems like an obvious area to turn to when established companies are either (1) stealing your money or (2) banning you for no reason.

It seems like there should already be regulations in this area and (in the US) prosecutors willing to pursue companies for the fame or a portion of the payout.

Is this area of finance really totally unregulated?
My personal approval of TikTok ban efforts is based on a more nuanced view: yes TikTok is not currently nefarious, but in the event of conflict with China, it will almost certainly be an outlet of CCP propoganda beamed straight into the US, and that is exactly when banning it would be the most politically contentious. Better to ban it now and not when the CCP uses it to influence domestic politics, at which point the optics of banning TikTok will come with the optics of banning political speech.
The issue is not quality per see. It’s difficult to work with Indian teams because the cultural gap is huge. Attitude towards hierarchy, easiness with conflicts, reluctance to say no are all major difference.

Understanding when you are getting push back from an Indian team can be very difficult.

TLDR:

* most of the workers being laid off are not engineers

* the laid off engineers are either being hired by “old school” industries like John Deere or carmakers or are creating new startups, many around generative AI.

Honestly am impressed at how wasteful such articles are in how little content they actually contain.
But for 20x cost savings, you could have 18 different adversarial models criticizing and correcting the output of other models and still come out ahead financially. I imagine with multiple "sets of sets of eyes" the edge cases would bubble up and could have a model specific to handle those edge cases.
You think that does happen in western democracies?
“cop”
I think there is a crucial semantic disconnect here, that may be partially stemmed from how much heavy lifting the relatively new term "military industrial complex" is doing. I'm likely partially to blame.

I use the term to refer to the the status quo of the relationship between interest groups, legislative bodies, and the bureaucratic system. I don't think I've forgotten anything. Some degree of defense was, and still is, necessary. I'm not refuting that. But, I believe that current manifestations of this relationship has lead to a system that is largely driven by private interests that have little to do with the defense or security of the people.

That is a fair point. It is different in that it could be used without necessarily creating destructive ends. Ultimately though, once the majority of people are aware of the capabilities of the technology, is any good being done by still allowing it to be easily accessible? It seems that the value in spreading its use reduces proportionally to the population of people who are still ignorant of it, while the danger of its misuse rises with number of actors/users until fully effective, equally accessible countermeasures are in place. If that's accurate, then it seems that the plan you're advocating for increases danger as quickly as possible and keeps it high while the world works on mitigations.

The US Government has very little interest in becoming the employer of mines overseas... and rightfully so. The accusations of colonialism when applied to the United States are quite appropriate.

Having arbitrary companies buy the mines is something that they occasionally do - however, that comes with the risk of exposing themselves to the corruption and issues of the country where the mines are located. The FCPA https://www.trade.gov/us-foreign-corrupt-practices-act makes it difficult for companies that aren't going to use bribery to compete against other companies and countries where corruption isn't seen as an issue.

These can make it rather difficult for the United States government or a company based in the United States to try to "buy up" the raw materials of other countries.

TikTok, however, is a way for one government that the US has a strained relationship with to potentially direct the public discourse in the US or use it to track / identify individuals. The spying that was mentioned is https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/22/tiktok-by...

> TikTok has admitted that it used its own app to spy on reporters as part of an attempt to track down the journalists’ sources, according to an internal email.

> The data was accessed by employees of ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company and was used to track the reporters’ physical movements. The company’s chief internal auditor Chris Lepitak, who led the team involved in the operation, has been fired, while his China-based manager Song Ye has resigned.

> ...

> ByteDance and TikTok had initially issued categorical denials of the allegations when they were first reported. The company claimed it “could not monitor US users in the way the article suggested”, and added that TikTok had never been used to “target” any “members of the US government, activists, public figures or journalists”. Those claims are now acknowledged to be false.
> One thing I have noticed is some of the more recent Pixar movies don't feel like Pixar movies at all. They feel like Disney movies: Lot's of musical numbers, a lot more slap stick and silly, more cheap laughs

Which Pixar movies had lots of musical numbers? Of the ones I've seen (all but Lightyear) I only recall zero to three (depending on what counts as a musical number) that I'd count as having musical numbers. Have I forgotten some?

"Turning Red" had a some scenes where characters were singing, but they were singing for in-universe purposes. When I think of musicals what comes to mind is shows where the singing is not for an in-universe purpose.

Similar for "Soul" and "Coco". They had main characters that were struggling musicians and their music played a major part in their lives. All the music I recall in those was in that context (although it has been a long time since I've seen "Coco" so I could have forgotten music that was not in-universe.

I'm loving all the individual GPT-like creations, of this past quarter 2023... myself, been playing with image and text transformers since Holidays 2022, and am extremely interested in individual use-cases [from my premise and IMHO that entry-level computer jobs are effectively DONE by end of 2023, including multimodal document and image transformations and commoner customer service -type jobs].

Definitely an exceptionally-diminishing amount of users will be able to create increasingly-complex content which will demand higher wages for an even smaller subset of users/creators of GPT/image -type "creation."

How are you individually using it to increasing television/movie suggestions... beyond (hey GPT "What would you recommend if user A & B liked X but A & B did not agree on show Y nor Z?")?
