Sounds like they just rewrote the whole thing from scratch, down to replacing Electron.

In Australia, 29.1% of residents (ie, citizens or permanent residents) were born overseas[1] in 2021 (down from 29.8% in 2020 due to COVID meaning less new permanent residents).

Net migration was 171,000 in 2021-22[2] and there were 167,000 newly conferred citizens (not counting native births)[3].

Top 5 countries of birth for Australian citizens born overseas were: England, China, India, New Zealand, Philippines. Top 5 new citizen countries of birth were: India, UK, Philippines, NZ, Pakistan.

Sounds like a Chromebook or iPad would've been enough.

I did a T480 motherboard integrated i7-8550U -> discrete i7-8650U swap and rebinding of the license with their phone support. I somehow finagled a Windows 11 Enterprise (retail channel) license that Redmond doesn't have a problem with. It's a cheapskate gaming machine for an eGPU RTX3060 Ti. They can try to pry my dual battery T480 from my cold dead hands, but I'll probably reinstall Qubes on it.
Is there a More on it?
Ah nuts I thought it was real too. I guess it passed underneath my radar for skepticism, because it doesn't really matter to me whether the pope wears a big jacket or not.

But it's not going to be that long before you can go on a Zoom call and have a conversation with a completely made up person. It's just voice recognition + voice synthesis + chatbot + this-person-does-not-exist + deepfakes.

That's when you'll be able to buy a subscription to a remote-only friendship group, or hire an AI to do a Zoom interview for you, or dead people will live on as avatars.

I don't work in IT so I'll gladly listen to why I'm wrong, but it certainly feels like we're on the cusp of a chatbot passing a full audio-visual Turing test.
I suspect (obvious disclaimer, this is speculation, but I've seen this happen many times elsewhere) is that the Teams team (heh) was asked to improve their performance for this sprint and they poked around a little bit to find some of the easiest wins, which is what we're seeing here. At most places, presenting that you've improved launch speed by over 2x is a major success, and their PR team decided it was worth advertising. The people who worked on this should be proud of the work they did but there is still clearly a long way to go to improve the app's performance.
For anyone good with a two-seater, it seems like a people's car to me. Plenty of space for groceries, starts at $25K, exceptionally easy and cheap to charge at home, and committed to "right-to-repair," publishing all their manuals and selling the parts to anyone. It could be the modern equivalent of the original VW Bug.
But I don't want any of those things. I'm sure each of them would be an interesting novelty for 5 minutes.
I wouldn't say it's common at all in boats. The two main human-powered boats are canoes and kayaks, and both use the arms, not the legs. There's also rowboats, which again use the arms. Pedal-powered kayaks do exist, but are rare.

It would make more sense to use the legs, but it's a much bigger engineering challenge than making a simple paddle and a boat that floats with no holes in the bottom.
If you think government doesn't have those things, you don't know much about how it works.

Most of Medicare is administered by middlemen and private companies.

Just make sure your syntax highlighting is off if its something like xml.
Because it introduces a possibly recursive application of the model itself and is a bit messy in that there would be some loss of information. It certainly would be a good technique for external applications, though.

Anyway, I got some clarification from ChatGPT itself:

Question: In a growing conversation, does ChatGPT create summarized version of the conversation history and send it to the model?

Answer:

In a growing conversation, ChatGPT does not create a summarized version of the entire conversation history and send it to the model. Instead, the model only uses the most recent turns of the conversation to generate a response to the current turn.

However, some implementations of ChatGPT do use a technique called "history trimming" to limit the size of the context window that the model considers. History trimming involves discarding some of the oldest turns of the conversation to keep the context window within a manageable size. This allows the model to focus on the most recent turns of the conversation, which may be more relevant to the current turn.

For example, OpenAI's GPT-3 API includes a feature called "context chunking" that automatically trims the conversation history to a maximum length of 2048 tokens. If the conversation history exceeds this length, the oldest turns are discarded to keep the context window within the maximum length.

Overall, while ChatGPT does not create a summarized version of the entire conversation history, some implementations may use history trimming to limit the size of the context window and improve the model's performance.
>Upgrading is cheaper than a whole new system. This saves consumers money. Modern laptops increasingly solder parts down, making upgrades nigh-impossible (I've tried multiple times).

A MacBook Air can easily last 5 years+. I've had mine for 10 years. Will the average Framework laptop last as long as the average MacBook?

>Countering planned obsolence and expensive repair costs associated with modern products.

Macbooks receive updates for 5+ years usually. Even after that, it's perfectly usable. I highly doubt that the hardware inside Framework will be supported for as long as Macbooks.

>Enabling upcycling, repurposing, and reducing ewaste. There are a fair number of environmentally conscious people in tech and tech-adjacent industries.

Upgrading parts cause e-waste, especially if the chips aren't generally as good as Apple Silicon so you have to upgrade more often. If you trade in or recycle your laptop with Apple, they should be able to do a better job of recycling than your average Framework user.

To me, the main selling point of Framework is that geeks can upgrade the CPU/GPU every year or once a year because they always want the fastest. The fact that Framework markets this as "environmentally friendly" is just a way to make them feel better about constantly upgrading. You can't convince me that the average Framework laptop is more environmentally friendly than a Macbook Air over its lifetime.
> I would agree, but then I also would have agreed with this sentiment about much of what Snowden revealed. If you want to be paranoid, may as well go all in.

What Snowden revealed is way more believable than the government continuing to invest tons of effort into profiling typewriters. The whole thing with Snowden was that his leaks confirmed a lot of things reasonable people speculated.
Mao’s reforms led to millions of deaths. China grew after the 70s. But in any case, thanks for clarifying your conception of “discomfort”.
They replaced Electron, but without getting rid of the actual problems. It's still basically a React website wrapped in a web browser.
A nice summary of what is wrong with economics in general, why it isn't a real science yet. It also explains why a lot of financial people have been freaking out since the pandemic started, their models don't work anymore but they keep trying to use them without improving them and the answers they get are weird. For example it could well be that interest rates at one time could be used to balance employment and inflation, but that does not appear to be true today. Yet the Fed keeps raising rates and wonders why nothing happens when they keep pushing on the wet noodle. It actually never made much sense that such a trivially simple model would always be correct and in fact some argue it has never been correct. Now it only seems to be pushing the US towards recession and making banks fail.
Is cantor dust available as a plugin now? I remember watching the creator's tech talk as a young dev and being incredibly inspired by it. But I've looked it up a few times over the years, didn't find any evidence that the tool described was ever released.

The most important Premium features are listed there.
Riding bicycle - as a skill is awkward and fascinating. It was established at very old times and so has remained. Imagine bicycles were invented today, its a product that nobody would buy. It takes lot of learning, falling, injuries, and for a lay person it looks awkward and risky.

If we generalize this, we are missing out on some skills, which are awkward but which our bodies and nervous system can learn? but perhaps we are not trying to learn thinking its risky?
Using bacteria to convert CO2 in the air into a polyester
In a way you could use these AI systems similar to kintsugi. Or in the same way a good wood sculptor uses the flow of the wood rather than working against it.

Using AI to provide a basic frame work on which folks can iterate, manipulate or redact is not such a dystopian view of these things.
Because most companies were looking at both but over-focusing on VR
That’s not just misleading, it’s an outright lie. No fan of the act, but the screenshots he’s posting are the part of the bill that defines the types of technologies that Commerce can scrutinize in order to make a determination as to whether the feds will order financial divestments (either by a foreign entity from a domestic entity, or vice versa). There’s nothing in it even close to what he’s alleging, and either he knows this and is deliberately lying, or he’s incompetent and shouldn’t be listened to.
Hopefully the AR isn't too good to avoid potential future headlines like:

"Man kills wife in fit of rage, throwing knife at virtual Gordan Ramsey"

Could it be an exit mechanism? Swap deposits at Binance to BNB, then export the BNB and sell it away?

I have a VW Golf and they solved the rain problem by hiding the camera in the hatchback latch. It pops out when you need it and hides away behind the badge when you don’t.

I haven’t priced out what replacing that little motor will cost someday.
But does it matter if Tether is 1-1 backed (or any of your other points) if what the customers deposited is those things?

As in, Binance hasn't failed if USDT goes to zero but you're still able to withdraw that Tether you have in Binance.
You didn't, or if you did they were filtered due to being unverified. Public names near the top are real verified signatures. This is Max Tegmark's website and is reputable.
We're talking about Teams here, the modern UI for what used to be IRC chat. 10k users on a single server used to be a solved problem for this type of application.
I did this for my email and Google docs. It’s about 15 lines of Python with langchain.
<quote>

An error message such as

Our service is down for maintenance

is infinitely better than:

Uh-oh! Something went wrong!

</quote>

Hell. No.
"down for maintenance" implies some kind of maintenance is undergoing, which is often not true.

User would expect you are aware of the error, working on it. This can be false expectation.
I don't see why it's "not acceptable" at all. Why shouldn't they treat users this way? They can make more money with all these annoyances, and the people who hate it are just going to complain on internet forums and keep using Windows anyway. Seems like a good business strategy to me. Any time a business is in a position where they can abuse their customers endlessly and the customers will refuse to leave, it would be a breach of fiduciary duty not to abuse them for more profit.
What other crimes do you think should allow the “not my problem” defense? A crime is still a crime even if full restitution is made.
They’re a shady crypto exchange (is there any other kind?) that’s been banned in a tonne of countries around the world for flaunting financial regulations. If there’s a major run on Binance, I’d be shocked if depositors get their deposits back.
But then when it's distributed, are the people who receive it are in the clear, whilst the original author gets pursued?

For example, can anyone now use GPT4All and there be nothing that OpenAI could do about it?
LIDAR would certainly solve the problem of crashes, which is indeed a serious issue.

But I don't see how you could drive with it. It couldn't identify lane markings or exits or traffic lights or cones. And if you can do that well, you should be able to avoid hitting things.

Clearly Tesla hasn't solved that and maybe never will. But adding LIDAR wouldn't really solve the problem.
But the extra upfront cost makes it unaffordable or presents an opportunity cost.
Sure, the quality is obvious from one of the fake name generated chinese brands, my issue is more the pollution of the listings with those brands. Going to search for anything turns up hundreds of the top results with these “brands” all 5 stars.

> from scratch

they replaced electron with a MS Edge Web View which is still running V8. I wouldn't say they rewrote it "from scratch"—that would be more like rewriting it in C#
I don't see petitions like this as demands, but as coordination mechanisms. If there are only a few industry actors with the resources to train gigantic AI models and they each want to stop but won't because they don't know if their competitors will, it's good for them all to have 1 place to say "I want to stop". Alternatively, if there are tons of industry actors racing and the only way to stop or slow down training is via governmental action - and the government won't act because they don't know how it will affect the industry - it's good to be able to point to "that one petition with 1000 highly influential signatories from the industry asking for regulation and explaining its effects".
Yes thats what the person you are replying to is asking about these chat apps. What is adding the complexity to the chat apps.
Similarly, a Honda Fit with tires inflated to 90% ofthe sidewall's max pressure is /very/ fuel efficient, but you better plan on replacing tires pretty often. After a few potholes, usually.
You think he bought it as an investment? Because he thought it was undervalued? Like when he started SpaceX because he thought it was the best way to multiply his PayPal money?
We had a Tesla Y for 6 months and returned it. I really wanted to me to keep the car. But in the end we couldn’t.

The range was simply not good enough for longer trips. We returned it for a normal car and are quite happy with the range.
This is amazing!

I would love to have an AWS expert handy at all times, so I tried to upload all AWS documentation using this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sitemap_index.xml. I can no longer use the site, so I suspect that busted something.

In hindsight, that was not cool and I'm sorry about it.
Wow, scroll to the part where stick figures are provided as guidance https://github.com/Picsart-AI-Research/Text2Video-Zero#text-... and tell me this won't upend the VFX industry!
What if, after hearing about the heated seats subscription, Ford patented the self-repossession so that BMW could never implement such a terrible idea?
Is a similar thing when driving, people can be nasty behind the wheel but always more civil in person.
I think the boring but true answer is simply that no one cares.

Users don't care because Teams still basically functions and the performance problems are at most a minor inconvenience. As a result, organizations don't care because Teams is cheap and does everything they need it to. As a result, Microsoft doesn't care because dedicating dev resources to something which neither saves them money nor attracts more customers is a waste.

Microsoft employs many smart people and I'm sure Teams' performance could be improved by orders of magnitude if they wanted to. But why would they want to?

(And to reinforce my point, when the performance _did_ get so bad that people apparently actually started caring, Microsoft not only improved it but made a video advertising it. It's just that there's no incentive to optimize any further than is necessary.)
oh, thanks. looks like it does not work on mobile.
Will Smith Eating Spaghetti (Text2Video Generative AI)
Heinlein has a quote in one of his works that goes like this:

> A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I think all software engineers should be taught to be able to handle a profiler, poke around in a debugger, write a short correctness proof, and consider how an attacker might abuse the APIs they expose. I know a lot of people who are working to make this dream a reality right now. Until this happens, though, gatekeeping the definition of an engineer is inappropriate and does nothing to help improve the situation, because people are generally resistant to learning these things if you call them "incompetent hacks".
Energy is the obvious problem.

Some 2B people live in constant hot humid weather, if we provide every single one of those people with north american level cooling facility, we'd probably have to increase the world's energy generation by at least 40%. That's no small feat.
Maybe. I have more experience on the UI side, so my intuition may be off here, but I still have trouble believing that these kinds of basic slicing-and-dicing-records problems aren't solved already. Especially when we're talking separate workspaces per-org, which could each get their own DB or shard; you can't hold all those messages in client-side memory at once, but surely at the DB level it's still much less data to process than what eg. Twitter deals with. Databases are fast, and this seems like a very vanilla database-shaped problem
Love it! For positioning, I'd look into www.raffle.ai - they've found a very good way to explain why enterprise search is valuable
> without selling a single security

Why sell a security that's only worth 74 cents on the dollar when you can use it as collateral to borrow 100 cents on the dollar, and if you can't pay back the loan then the public will bail your ass out?
I live in a city of 80,000 (Lehi, UT). Birth rate is 50% higher then national average.

There's no labor and delivery hospital in this city. It's difficult and resource intensive.
Yes, that's the real elephant in the room. Slack and Teams both packaged up IRC into something that looks nicer, but runs 1000x slower and now sell enterprise licenses for this garbage.
Ui devs should be forced to use pentium 3s for all work and testing.
I can't remember. I didn't think much of it at the time. The gravity of it sank in later. Probably some "anonymous" channels on Twitter, which is why I didn't take it seriously at first
Future cars will be moved forward by electric engines. That's not even debatable.

The power, reliability and efficiency are in a whole different bracket than in ICEs.

What IS up for debate is how the power for those engines is stored in the car. Currently we're going with batteries or liquid combustion fuels (PHEV and serial hybrids).

Yes, there are very specific use-cases and industries where EVs don't work today, but the tech is developing insanely fast.
>So either it is agreeing with me and my statement was correct, or it's reply was incorrect and therefore my statement was correct. Am I wrong on this?

Yes you're wrong for admitting to having an unfalsifiable belief about this. If your belief can't be falsified then this discussion is pointless.

The model I have access to scores higher than most humans at complex abstract reasoning, for what it's worth (which is apparently nothing because regardless of any outcomes you will declare yourself correct).
I don’t engage in long form discussion on HN anymore due to the moderation policy, I’ll say in short

1) You are in the process of being scammed. 200A is plenty to run an EV charger and 400A is absurd.

2) The max at home charge rate is 240v60A, 200+ amps extra is more than enough to peak charge three teslas at the same time.

Install a sub panel and 240v 60A outlet in your garage, then set your EV to charge around 11 or so. You’ll be done by 1-2am and never notice it.
>You have to drive to get anywhere interesting (expensive)

Only in America. Thankfully, 95% of the world's population lives somewhere else.
It could also be possible, that you haven’t discovered life in the way that the author refers to. I’m not judging.

What I am saying, there are possibly perspectives on life which you haven’t had the privilege of experiencing, which could make you misunderstand what the author is writing about.
Point of order, Altered Carbon is a novel series. Unfortunately, it is one of those where the producer knows better than the writer, and they upended the plot, for unknowable reasons.

Spoilers: ..........in the book, the Envoys are the governmental elite special forces unit. In the show, the Envoys are now terrorists? Switches the allegiances of so many characters. Also weird manipulation of the historical timeline, seemingly just to bring a character into the plot.
Is there a way to pause/end a task?

That's part of it, but also, they just published a whole marketing video to advertise a performance improvement
I good example of how having less money makes things more expensive.
Love the approach and amazed by your packaging it looks slick and mature even for such a novel tech stack. But my understanding is that all the OpenAI models (3.5-Turbo et al) have a non compete terms of use clause so wondering how you approach this ? I can see the case that you are a complementary service increasing paid usage of OpenAI, but, I can also see them saying hey we want to be the ones to do that with enhanced features you are competing against. Perhaps just a long term risk to live with if you get past the short term market traction test ? Asking because I face a similar set of questions for a different set of reasons.
Gyroscopic forces are fun. That phenomenon kicks in around 20-25 mph but that’s when I was on a crotch rocket. I’ve experienced it at like 15 mph on a bicycle.
They should require users to watch several ads, and then pass a quiz asking about things in the ads, before saving a document.
It’s a skill issue.

This is what you get when your developer team has only ever known programming through the lens of terrible tools and practices. They’ve probably never worked on good software before.

Sex, porn and/or getting laid is the first emergent viral use case for every planetary-successful b2c tech platform. I made a small fortune on Facebook’s IPO and liquidated immediately after realizing Zuck was betting the farm on skipping this inevitable step and was attempting to launch a nipple-free advertiser-optimized virtual reality.
There is no sales process for Teams, it is given away free with M365. That also adds an asterisk to “incredibly successful”
