> "I wish HN was a bit more friendly to crypto specially to Ethereum which has switched to a more ecologically friendly model"

"Why are you so upset now that you found out I'm stealing grandma's savings? Don't you know I stopped beating my wife already. Also I'm doing much less meth these days. A man don't get no respect around here." -- crypto, the deadbeat cousin of actual tech.
Long before the metaverse or meta even existed, I had this idea: A movie, which is explorable. You and a group of friends or even alone go to the movie and get a time budget, maybe like 5h or so. In that time you can explore the world of the movie in 3D virtual reality. Also you would be able to influence the story of the movie by acting as some characters in the movie.

Of course this could have huge production costs associated with it and might not be realistic any time soon. But maybe one day ...
Some combination of users interactions with the endless output might create a decent enough opportunity. For example, Spotify discover combined with auto generated music (of a certain level) maybe is a possibility for this in that genre?
A bit too late I guess. The only way this will stop is when people realize their expectations were misaligned and things start failing spectacularly.
Sliding seats are used for competitive rowing. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_(sport)#Technique
I will probably try PopOs next.
You can set the temperature to a low level and get the same deterministic results.
Can confirm, at least on Gpt4all. Just tried it and it's nothing like ChatGPT
I'm not sure what your point is. It may also get sorted quickly. There are already projects going on to write the needed drivers, like libcamera.
So Musk was outed from OpenAI and is now salty? Or are they trying to build a competitor and are falling behind and want OpenAI to get a break so they can catch up? In either way, the ethics talk is total bullshit.
This is legitimately the so called ensemble model.

We can spawn one CbatGPT instance to make decision, and spawn 3 instances to ask questions and validate the decision. Since the power of ChatGPT enable it to mimic different characters, basically this ensemble can do anything.
> None have privacy guarantees

The Apple Card's issuer (Goldman Sachs) and payment network (MasterCard) retain just as much transaction information for the Apple Card as they do for any other credit card.[1]

[1] https://www.engadget.com/2019-08-30-apple-card-privacy-adult...

> usually those rates are extremely subject to change, require quarterly activation

That's not true. I'm not aware of any US credit card offering 2% cash back on all purchases that regularly changes this 2% rate or requires quarterly activation for the 2% rate. If you can name even one 2% cash back card that does this, please do.

> variable APR

The Apple Card also has a variable APR. The Apple Card Customer Agreement says that the APR is "15.49% to 26.49% when you open your account" and "After that, this APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate."[2]

> high foreign transaction fees

The Bread Cashback Card (American Express) and SoFi Credit Card (MasterCard) manage to offer 2% cash back on all purchases with no foreign transaction fee or annual fee.
This must be irony.
Competition isn't the only way for a private system to have influence on a non-private system. You understand that, right?
I think the reason behind Tailwind’s emergence and prominence is React, mostly.
If you have enough money up front, or foresight, then yes. Even if that's the case in the minority of cases, that's enough to make it less environmetally friendly that being able to upgrade.
Most developers don’t have a clue about performance. A friend of mine (an average developer by his own account) joined a company that had just lost a $10 million contract because of low performance software. He has a background in games development. So he raised an eyebrow, ran a profiler to figure out what the bottleneck was, and fixed the problem. In less than a week. Now he is treated like a super star by management and other developers. So knowing how to make software fast can be a real benefit.
That is pretty much what it has always been. The reason I like it is

1) it is more standardised (since it is written in html rather than custom classes) which means you can pretty much copy a component from one project to another without worrying that maybe the css naming overlaps etc. It just works.

2) it limits the decisions you need to make. No need to decide exactly how many pixels the padding should be. Just pick p-4. And if that is too much take p-3.

3) You dont need to worry that something in a totally different part of the app will break if you change the css to change the styling of a component

4) It is just faster to write and in my opinion easier to reason about (im sure this is personal) since I can see directly in the html what styling is applied and i dont need to go and dig in different stylesheets to find out what "custom-button-large" does
Have there been any comparisons written about Tailwind's performance vs thoughtfully selected CSS? I've been writing Tailwind exclusively for the last year or so and I haven't noticed anything in particular, but I find that using utility classes causes me to lose an awareness of the cascading nature of CSS. Aside from the filesize bloat due to the bigger HTML files, do long and highly-repetitive class lists slow down style parsing or DOM interaction? And if so, would @apply directives have an advantage over class lists?
I have a 30 hours per week contract. Though I sometimes find it hard to actually work 30 hours and not much more (when I am trying to tackle an interesting problem).
Yes. And even with all of that planning, the overarching super important arc would broke the story.

Because despite all that planning pretty much everyone missed a week here or there. Life happens, work emergencies happen, family or friends come to visit and can't do it another day. You go for holidays. Spouse have to work late so you have kids alone.

Once in a while, all of these happen.
I'm thinking of something at a larger scale. In some sense models that "wow" society get more interest and funding.
> Bikes seem like such a primitive technology, and yet as this article demonstrates, it takes a lot of engineering to design even primitive products.

Very strange. I get that we take things for granted if they've been around forever (ie. since before we were born). But I never considered bicycles "primitive". What makes you think that? Is it because they don't need electronics? What is a non-primitive transport technology?
Its like a summary, speeds up the process by having a possible context.
We don't give anyone a free pass, we have a regulator tasked with ensuring banks don't fail on behalf of depositors.
Yarn-level geometry has been used as the basis for cloth simulation too, e.g. https://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/YarnCloth/ from 2008-2010.
Seems pretty fair.

We can't really ignore the technology, we need to be able to work with it as it's just become a new tool in people's arsenal.
I broke my x1 in 2020 after using it daily while travelling the world doing just about everything with it for four and half years. Never had crazy heating issues and speed issues. And it just straight up died for no reason. Just 3 weeks after handing in my PhD thesis. I loved that thing.
On one side, a super AI could take all human jobs.

On the other side, a super AI could do all human jobs. Everything becomes so abundant that it's almost free: Unlimited supply, limited demand. We don't have to work anymore and only focus on things that make us happy. A true socialist future.

We are scared just because it's a radical change. Let's not afraid, fellow human.
Tether's attestation reports are not worthy to be my toilet paper.

BUSD on BSC has been demonstrated to not at all be backed by enough BUSD on Eth as managed by Paxos (which does seem to be backed)
There is no chance the government will regulate AI
"The plan from the beginning is that the government will effect a light touch on something that is already moving too quickly for it to grasp."
> MacBooks are the only laptops doing this reliably.

My ZenBook happily did 16 hours or more a few times (it claimed 22 out of the box though I never needed to ask it to while I was monitoring), though it doesn't seem to do as well now (it has seen regular use for about three years). There are other designs on the market with similar claims too.

Most people are looking for something that is just movable when getting a laptop though with power being available most of the time, so double a working day (or more) battery life isn't something that sells big (especially if there is the option to trade it for cost or weight) which is part of why you don't see many laptops even trying.

(gaming marketed laptops and other high-power units are a different kettle of fish, you expect and get less life with that sort of use case even with a huge heavy battery or two)
Depends on the day. Anywhere from 0-12.

Some days, just nothing happens. Can be spooky quiet.

> Did the layoff wave push you to work more hours than expected?

No. It is unlikely to affect me.

> Does AI save you time already?

No. It's done the opposite - I spend a lot of time either fielding questions about how we can use it (in most cases we can't, yet).
Show HN: GPT-3.5-turbo wrapped inside my personal website
I get why you're being down voted but your overall point is valid imo. We didn't get any good answers about what happens if this thing keeps getting better.

"People will find new jobs/things to do" doesn't really cut it. It's not really the tech titans fault, the governments really need to start stepping in.
Did they honk horns at night? I seem to recall explicit calls to not do that.
Seems very limited. I wonder if the same can be achieved with just stable diffusion and neighbor latent walks with very small steps. On the other hand the interpolation techniques with the GigaGAN txt2img produce much higher quality “videos” than this
Worth noting that just replacing cells on an old battery pack is kind of iffy. If the new cell has a different capacity and/or internal resistance than the old cells, it might not balance properly. Probably not an issue if it's within the range of what the BMS can deal with, but there is some risk that swapping cells might cause problems.

Having said that, I don't have first-hand experience refurbishing EV battery packs. Someone who does this kind of repair regularly might have a better idea of what you can or can't get away with.

There's a neat trick when you encounter jargon.

1. Identify the jargon terms you don't understand

2. Lookup papers that introduce the jargon terms

3. Skim-read the paper to get the gist of the jargon

If you don't want to do this, then you don't have to feel uneducated. You can simply choose to feel like your time is more important than skimming a dozen AI papers a week.

But for example, here's what I did to understand the parent comment:

1. I had no idea what lora is or how it relates to alpaca.

2. I looked up https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora

3. I read the abstract of the Lora paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.09685.pdf
https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora

4. Now I know that Lora is just a way of using low rank matrices to reduce finetuning difficulty by a factor of like 10,000 or something ridiculous

5. Since I don't actually care about /how/ Lora does this, that's all I need to know.

6. TLDR; Lora is a way to fine-tune models like Llama while only touching a small fraction of the weights.

You can do this with any jargon term at all. Sure, I introduced more jargon in step 4 - low rank matrices. But if you need to, you can use the same trick again to learn about those. Eventually you'll ground yourself on basic college level linear algebra, which if you don't know, again you should learn.

The sooner you evolve this "dejargonizing" instinct rather than blocking yourself when you see new jargon, the less overwhelmed and uneducated you will feel.
Somebody drives race cars
I would say it is more the lower entry barrier for devs who do not want to spend time on learning css so they are not that relient anymore on a dedicated frontend person
I have a four hour work-week (30h), and work on average 6h a day, sometimes 6.5-7 if I have something I'm in the middle off. Certainly used ChatGPT to save some time, but hasn't affected my working hours.
How exactly is eth stealing anything from anyone?
PopOS is a Ubuntu derivative. It's going to have the same Kernel versions as Ubuntu.
That's fun to read, but not sure what you mean by brain tissue organization.
In my case I just want a early 2010s Fiat Panda, or any equivalent. Functional, cheap, little electronic bullshittery.
I don't think you understand how dire the situation is for most men. If you don't lie you don't get anywhere near a match. Doesn't matter how honest and self confident and secure you are. You won't get the match. If you do lie, then you have small chance at least, especially since most women will happily filter <6" guys but can't tell the difference in real life.
Kraken refused compliance with NY crypto exchange protection rules. Kraken had to shut down (in the US) some aspects because they refused to follow SEC guidelines for protecting user deposits. Kraken has had to pay fines for unregistered margin trading.

These are not the actions of a company following best practices for protecting depositors.
"Why" questions in general are pretty difficult question to answer in a satisfactory way.

I don't use AI in my day to day (yet, probably) but I am bullish on it in general. I currently work ~8 hour days M-F, typical stuff.

> Did the layoff wave push you to work more hours than expected?

No. I am a top performer (not a self assessment, officially documented) so I figure I'll be the last to go.
555 comments and nobody pointed out that cars are unsustainable anyways. The world desperately needs to move towards public transportation now.
Yes! It's hard to believe that this company made an entire OS.

No matter how much revenue Teams is generating, given the number of users, it deserves a native app, not a webview!
You used to be able to use binance without KYC in its early years but more recently (around 2019 onwards) it has started requiring KYC even to get on the platform. At the same time they've forced old users to either provide KYC or disable their accounts. This probably only applies to EU users though.
Ubuntu stops shipping Flatpak by default
>Additionally, the risk exposure of owning an EV is pretty bad.

I'm not sure where you're getting that data from, maybe it's different where you live.

> The initial cost is extremely high, the immediate depreciation is high

I dispute that the initial cost "extremely high". Higher, yes, but those prices are coming down. The depreciation here in Ireland is a lot less than a traditional ICE car. My 3 year-old Mini Electric had lost a lot less, percentage-wise, than the comparative ICE model when I traded it in recently. My service costs for those 3 years were zero.

> fast chargers are effectively more expensive than petrol here limiting long range economy

The key word in that is probably "here". In Ireland, I can do 300 miles per €25 of fast charge. My previous diesel car would have cost €50 for the equivalent distance.
That actually sounds fun. It's like karaoke but more than singing songs... even without the acting aspect, it sounds fun to experience the story unfold while you're in it. Not sure if people will feel bogged down by the additional effort they'll have to put in and prefer to just stare at a screen though.
IMO the hardware simply isn't good enough for the mass market yet.

* Motion sickness is still a really big problem

* If you're short-sighted and wear glasses, then the picture will be blurry for you. The original PSVR worked around the issue by pushing the lends out so you could comfortably wear glasses and the headset, but none of the modern headsets afaik include this affordance. Wearing contacts isn't an option for a lot of people.

* Way too expensive. I can afford one pretty easily, but most people can't. For roughly the same price as a Quest you can get an iPhone SE which is going to offer significantly more value to the average person

* They're too heavy! People complain about a 240g iPhone being too heavy in the hand. The Quest is 503g on your head, and this headset in particular doesn't distribute weight very well. PSVR is slightly heavier, but is at least slightly more comfortable than the Quest due to its weight distribution.

I think there might be some other factors at play, too. Throwing on a VR headset feels a lot more antisocial than watching TV or tinkering on your phone in the living room because you're wearing a giant headset that separates you from the real world. Even if the hardware does get really good, I'm not entirely sure how easy it is for manufacturers to convince families that headsets are a good purchase.

I really enjoyed using my friend's VR headset to slowly play through Half-Life: Alyx. I could manage about one level at a time before needing to take the headset off and take a break, because of motion sickness + how uncomfortable the whole thing was. I think there's still a lot of R&D to do before headsets are really in a position where regular people start buying them up en masse.
Your sheer, naked bias that only men abuse children and partners while women always protect them... while simultaneously questioning established narratives. Phew.

That takes a special kind of stupid.
what was in the original letter?
it got deleted.
Professor, so maybe not who you mean to ask. Four hours of deep work, that is, creative work. Maybe another eight of stuff. No AI yet, although I'm super interested.
I really like that analogy "amusement park without any rides". I really do think Meta et al were too excited by the idea of the business potential of parallel worlds to notice that in the "what's in it for me" equation, ordinary people came up empty handed.

But back to your analogye, it applies particularly well here because Disney are a master of delivering experiences and do exactly that through every possible medium. So if one sees Disney walking away from the Metaverse, that's not something I would interpret lightly - despite the rounds of firing being interpreted as a cost saving measure, it's just 50 staff members and not all of them are leaving the company. Disney aren't short of cash, so if they saw a future in the Metaverse they'd be there for defensive reasons alone.

Rather I think Disney realise that their own VR-initiatives will stand on their own, and their involvement would be propping up 3rd party platforms rather than yielding a benefit from them.

I think Meta are hoping that the Metaverse would emulate the Smartphone/Soft-store model, where developers would do the heavy lifting for the platform, but the crucial difference here is that a Smartphone is useful before even loading a single piece of 3rd party software. Everyone already had a phone when smartphones became a thing - but right now no one is walking around with a VR headset, or anything even vaguely approximating that.
Yes, so it's necessary to build a virtual machine on top of EVM, instead of simple proposal-vote-execution mode is necessary.

Also all the restrictions/laws/rules can be easily represented and described using a new programming language, "By-Law Script", which makes it more flexible to compose different kinds of laws.

And thanks for your ideas, it would be really interesting that we can build some tax laws on top of crypto and DARC, as well as more scenario about external regulations.
Yeah, I was thinking at Bernal when writing my comment. As far as I know he used to bike to school when he was a kid, and he wasn't living in the flat areas of Colombia.
While I don't like tether and am aware of some of its shady practices, people who bet against it have lost a lot of Bayes points at this moment in time.
I for one can't wait for the new 2024 Mini EV. With double the range of the current model and on a dedicated EV platform it'll be the perfect little car.

I can't be bothered with an SUV as a single person.
doomscrolling is a competitive environment; HN is a decent start so you are already at a good starting point, although you might want to level-up to FB, or even TikTok for more advanced skills.
> So Musk was outed from OpenAI and is now salty?

Outed? AFAIK he quit.
Isn't that really what a Nissan leaf is?
The timing of the invention of the bike is discussed here: https://rootsofprogress.org/why-did-we-wait-so-long-for-the-...

He settles on general economic and cultural factors. Experimentation requires there to be enough people with spare time and resources to play around with things with no immediately obvious payback.
Your comment reads like market dynamics and incentives, general corporate capacity and human ingenuity don't exist.
and yet, others frequently attest to trying to get their money or cryptos out and being rapped in a loop of Binance repeatedly demanding more KYC and they never get their funds out
most of Europe can already come to Iceland with no reason needed. EEA and Schengen allow them to live and work there without a permit.

I moved to the UK under the same rules (before Brexit) - never moved back home to Iceland :)
Yes, this is the next step I'm looking forward to, and what would probably make LLMs really take off. Let me dump my own knowledge base or source code into ChatGPT and have it use that as its source of knowledge. I can only imagine the cost and resources required to train and run these individual models on a large scale must still be prohibitively large.
F/A 18 Hornet and A-10 were my favorites. I might still have a disk somewhere. They're apparently also downloadable as "abandonware".

Was thinking the same thing. Just a few days ago Elon was criticizing ChatGPT to be too "woke" which basically means it's careful to not push any hot buttons and that it needs to be less politically correct all the time.

It's funny because the other day I asked ChatGPT that the only thing that holds back AI tech. is regulatory issues. Of course it denied cuz it didn't know any better, but when GPT-4 paper came out, this was explicitly mentioned, that they were solely working on safety issues for months before release.
This, indeed, I'm also wondering why we'd learn about it only through that site, wouldn't the people signing be posting about it too ?
Kraken uses misleading language in their blog, while claiming to do "audit" everywhere they actually write that they (Kraken) do the audit and then some no-name firm "verifies" audit results. So that's practically a pointless claim and provides zero data as to what are financials of the Krakes, do they have reserves matching liabilities, do they commingle funds, do their reserves consist of shittokens or no etc. Interestingly r/CC community bought Kraken misinformation hook, line and sinker. In a few years they will cry that nobody has warned them, after it will be Kraken's turn to go bust.
This reads like satire, but sadly isn't?

So modern cars have millions of new shiny sensors, but cannot get accurate information on the fuel tank, something my old shitty car reliable can?
That is likely a bug. There is nothing in the maths that should make prompt tokens slower on CPU.
I agree, it feels like it was a reaction (no pun intended) for the CSS-in-JSS trend which started in React and complicated with Webpack pipelines. In my mind, Tailwind is just "Bootstrap for CSS-in-JSS."

Honestly, as much as I disliked the CSS-in-JSS trend, it did solve a reasonable problem with React — one which Vue and others had solved with their SPC.

It feels like ducktape on top of ducktape...
