I don't know if anyone else is following this as an issue, and maybe in the grand scheme of our housing "demographics" it's a small thing.

But if you live in a medium or large sized condo or apartment building, it is extremely hard to get legacy systems like gas furnaces or hot water boilers replaced by a new technology like this.

Not because of lack of desire, but because it involves incredible amounts of:

-- legal questions on whether you're allowed to do such things as an entity (will the owners agree to do it)

-- who will pay for the new costs of the thing itself, as well as the ongoing maintenance, any changes to insurance costs, etc. (how will current people who have to pay shoulder the costs of future benefits)

-- (sometimes) how to divide up or give up space from existing ownership stakes to fit the new hardware into what was never expected to be modified in the building ever again

-- electrical, plumbing, power, heat, requirements that may change the performance or costs of your building (how will you swap a 300 pound furnace with 1200 pounds of condenser units and not have the roof collapse?) Technical feasibility not matching the policy goals.

And then on top of this all, the local city wants their say to block or make it very expensive for you to do all this. (yet at the same time their city councils are charging forward in requiring the phase out of natural gas while not fully understanding the inability or cost to real people of not having the ability to affordably implement those mandates)

For some kinds of buildings, this is a very big problem stopping people from being able to change things. There needs to be some enabling legislation to cut out these roadblocks, or somehow make things easier.

Contractors know this so well they apply probably a 10x discount factor in the number of calls they receive to the number of projects that actually proceed to being started.

Single family / single owner homes have a much easier time just getting it done. And new build.

It can be really very difficult to displace existing technology, for very real and legitimate reasons.
yes, but this is the first repository i have seen named like this
Astounding amount of cynicism here, so I'll say something positive: Transparency is undoubtly important, I'm glad we can see how all of this works and what sort of effort goes into building a social media system. It's licensed under GPL which is a bummer (would have preferred BSD) but it's better than nothing.
Perhaps that's related to this line. Though perhaps this is just used for observing metrics. https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/blob/7f90d0ca342b92...
In practice, there are a lot of devices around for which tampering would be profitable. Making these devices resist tampering is a practice with a long history of good (though imperfect) results. Your electric meter is a great example, or the odometer in your car.

Yes, grandparent said tamper-proof instead of tamper-resistant or tamper-evident. So? It's obvious what they meant.

My point was to demonstrate that your "hypersensitivity" hypothesis has no evidentiary basis, and in fact runs counter to easily available evidence.

I believe I have done that, in way that other HN readers can easily verify for themselves.

Had you researched the topic yourself you would find more supporting evidence for my pet theory. I only presented a sampling of what I found, to keep my comment from being a wall of text.

Your saying doesn't even apply to you as you have not presented any evidence, not even a single feather.

As you don't seem to care, my interest here is done.
It doesn't always stay on whatever you last used, though. I mostly use Following but it always inevitably ends up back on "For you".
This statement is incredibly biased -- dripping with it:

"Are your computational models, data, and frameworks reflecting or amplifying existing bias, or assumptions resulting in biased or discriminatory outcomes, or have outsized impact on marginalized communities. Are computing and human labor used to build your AI system vulnerable to exploitation and overwork? Is the climate crisis being accelerated by your AI through energy consumption or speeding up the extraction of natural resources."
Bureaucracies operate by standard procedures. Official documents are produced by standard procedures and official documents are often available to the public on a standard search - in the case of police, official documents would also be available to judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Unofficial documents are produced by official not using standard procedures in any variety of ways (searching a private company's database in this instance). Generally, doing this is against the regulations of a bureaucracy. But American police view themselves and often treated as above regulations, even their own regulations. So American police often produce and keep unofficial documents with no consequences.
We don't train people on or write our own documentation for any widely used open source tools. We use them as they're provided and don't expect any unique knowledge beyond that. That's a large part of the value in choosing tech like this instead of proprietary solutions we'd have to document and train people on. It's also why a developer with those skills can take them with them from job to job over the course of their career and they're still valuable or start at a new company and make valuable contributions from day one before they learn the proprietary bits of the company.
If you bought an 8xA100 machine for $140k you would have to run it continuously for over 10,000 hours (about 14 months) to train the 7B model. By that time the value of the A100s you bought would have depreciated substantially; especially because cloud companies will be renting/selling A100s at a discount as they bring H100s online. It might still be worth it, but it's not a home run.

Yes a rugged individual would have to be incredibly wealthy to do it!

But maybe the governments will make one and maintain it with taxes as an infrastructure service, like roads, giving everyone expanded powers of cognition, memory, and expertise, and raising the consciousnesses of humanity to new heights. Probably in USA it wouldn't happen if we judge ourselves only in zero sum relation to others - helping everyone would be a wash and only waste our money!
Humans have been doing all of this and more, for a very long time.

This simply exposes all of the cracks in the foundations of our society. There are severely exploitable issues, and we may wind up with a planet-level chaos monkey.

Ghostbusters had the stay-puft marshmallow man. Will the form of our destroyer be the woot monkey?
No doubt there's a real underlying problem here. The abuse of comparison doesn't help anything though. I'd guess (but it's a guess) that average american life expectancy is going down because of some demographics who have it really bad (opioid users eg). That's an acute problem that has no meaning when averaged with everything else. Quoting averages makes it seem like there's some sort of broad malaise as opposed to specific issues for specific groups.
Do we "gotta hand it to Elon" for not missing one of his 40-50 self-imposed deadlines and feature announcements?
Correct, guessing OP's never used it.

A good example: In 2015 I bought a tiny little Toyota Aygo (UK). It came with "Mirrorlink", it was the first car I'd ever owned that had a fancy touch screen, and it was advertised as working with iPhone's.

Now bearing in mind this was a brand new model, you can imagine how pissed off I was when I got the car, tried my phone and it didn't work, only to be told it only works with the iPhone 4 - we were on the 6S at that point.

To this day there has never been a software update. They continued selling that model with the misleading claims for about 4 years, eventually releasing a new model with carplay support. If I want carplay support added to mine, it needs the newer head unit which is around £900.

Car manufacturers are assholes. I dont want them having anything to do with the software, just make it work with carplay and android auto and then dont touch it, let the people that actually maintain their software on your phone deal with it all.
Yes, but they want to lower rates, they just can't :)

Thanks for pointing me toward Memgraph. I didn't hear of it before and it appears to be a great alternative to neo4j.
That would be great (unweighting bluechecks) but they actually plan to go in the other direction: Starting April 15th non-bluechecks won't show up in the "For you" section (the algorithm timeline) at all. Unpaid users are being written completely out of the algo.

Assuming anything in this codebase is worth reusing, I'm glad it's GPL. It's a case where I'd like open-first to spread.
Might be worth swapping out the head unit. Best Buy will sell you a Sony unit with installation for $250 for example.
We have been told that computers will do our (software engineers) jobs for decades now. It has never come to fruition, and this is no different.

What we are seeing is that the number of software engineers has increased dramatically and the average skill level has plummeted. It is not normal for a competent software engineer to need to reference Stack Overflow a dozen times per day every single day.

The other thing that this is bringing to the forefront is just how atrocious the libraries are in certain ecosystems (e.g. JS/TS).

If a tool that can write incorrect functions/methods makes you substantially more productive, you were never very valuable in the first place, and "AI" likely isn't the only thing threatening your job security.
There are many variants out there, ie what we have here in Switzerland (buyclub, mostly Geneva) has mandatory drink per person, 5$ minimum, and also usually discount is often 40% and not 50%, no cashback. When we use it we always paid quite a bit on top already-paid discount, happily (starters, cakes, drinks, coffee all ads up). Often same places keep reappearing on the offer, so it doesn't seem to be bad deal for them. Deals don't come very frequently, have strict limit on total coupons count (ie 200, 500), how many per user, timeout etc.

Another variant of the concept is ie La fourchette (the fork), where you can get similar deals, but they are either permanent deals or stay around for longer, so if you don't have anything specific in mind you just search what is available around. Similar rules for drinks.
> Twitter has several Candidate Sources that we use to retrieve recent and relevant Tweets for a user. For each request, we attempt to extract the best 1500 Tweets from a pool of hundreds of millions through these sources. We find candidates from people you follow (In-Network) and from people you don’t follow (Out-of-Network).

> Today, the For You timeline consists of 50% In-Network Tweets and 50% Out-of-Network Tweets on average, though this may vary from user to user.

It would’ve been interesting to see what changes were made since Musk’s takeover. As someone who followed 5,000+ users, I know I never saw a tweet that wasn’t either from nor retweeted by someone I followed — e.g. I never saw those “[user you follow] liked [someone you don’t follow] tweet”

50%/50% in FYP seems to reflect my experience today — which is much worse, to the point that I’ll regularly switch to viewing by List b/c I miss seeing people who I want to read.

I wonder how much testing and analysis went into deciding on the 50/50 ratio — e.g. how does it impact user engagement and behavior. Because it sounds like an easy round value that you’d land on when thinking “users should be pushed out of their bubbles”
The intent of that provision in NY law is so that if someone is trying to run out the clock for NY state by being outside of its jurisdiction and ability to indict them doesn't get a free pass.

Everywhere past the first line, that post talks about "republicans", so it sounds like people that identify with the GOP.

That doesn't sound to me like an attempt to fit people into two boxes. It's a reaction to people choosing a particular box, as opposed to the other big box or neither of those boxes.
> IME they typically they come about because realism comes with a price tag. An actual UI is more expensive to load than a mock, an actual webserver is slower than a fake web server, a postgres database spins up slower than an SQLite, a real API call takes longer than a mocked one, etc.

Sure, but spinning up a postgres database or running a Selenium test should change your test times from being executed in seconds to minutes, not seconds to hours or days.

> They kind of are though, since they don't acknowledge the trade offs inherent in reducing the duration of the integration tests.

As I say in another comment in this thread, there is very, very, very rarely a legitimate reason for integration tests to need multiple hours to run. Even in the worst case, you can just parallelize the tests on different hardware; if you can't parallelize, that is a problem with your tests and not a real excuse.
GM is very much not Tesla, though. They don't have Tesla's reputation of being tech-forward and somewhat competent in software UI/UX, plus I'd argue that the kind of buyers who'd consider e.g. a Bolt are those who are looking for normal cars that happen to be EVs — they're the type who'd normally be buying something like a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. They want something that's a reliable commuter, not a touchscreen gadget on wheels.
Having a separate flag to track engagement specifically for Elon tweets isn't nefarious, but weird.

> the transfer should just be a decrement of a number in the first bank and an increment of it in the account on the second bank

The transfer actually decrements two numbers at the first bank and increments two numbers at the second bank, and typically also mutates two further numbers at another institution, as so:

If you transfer your deposit from a bank, then that bank needs to decrement it's liability to you. If it's decrementing it's liabilities, it also needs to decrement it's assets by an equal amount (otherwise it'd be making a profit with this transaction, which it's clearly not).

We therefore know from this that the first bank needs to transfer an asset of some kind from itself to the second bank.

The second bank then needs to increment their liabilities to record the fact they now owe you money, and they need to increment their assets to record the fact that they now own this new asset they've just received.

The asset that changes hands is typically Central Bank reserves, which is essentially money that is held in an account with the Federal Reserve. In order for the money to change hands, the Federal Reserve has to decrement the amount of reserves that are owned by/sit in the account of the first bank, and increment the amount of reservers that are owned by the second bank.

The other effect you need to think about is what happens if the first bank doesn't have a sufficiency of reserves to settle for this transaction? In this case, the sending bank would need to sell some of it's other assets so that it receives reserves from other institutions, before sending those reserves to the second bank, or alternatively it can go to the Federal Reserve and ask the Fed to create new reserves and lend those reserves to the bank, securing the loan against eligible collateral (such as US treasuries, as in the new Bank Term Funding Program), which it agrees to repay later (either with reserves that it receives in the future from other inbound transfers, or by ultimately selling the assets).

React-Chrono v2.0 has been released, which is the most significant release since the initial launch, and includes several enhancements and improvements, such as:

🃏 Complete redesign of the timeline cards, making them more modern, responsive and easy to use.
Dark mode, with a control button available via the control panel to switch easily between light and dark mode.
Theme improvements, giving users complete control over the look and feel of the timeline regardless of the mode used.
Text Overlay mode, which enhances the look and feel of the timeline cards when media is used and provides easier-to-hide, expand and minimize text.
Improved slideshow function, including progress bar enhancements and 3 new slideshow types.
Nested timelines, the most significant and important addition to react-chrono.
Flash Lite was not really "Flash". It didn't support older ActionScript, it had extremely limited codec support (relying on a device's hardware support), and was missing a lot of the network features the desktop plugin had. Generally it wouldn't be able to load arbitrary SWFs off the web. Even to run a SWF the developer needed to write to the Flash Lite profile, like targeting a MIDP profile in J2ME.

Flash Lite was usually used on the devices you mention as the "app" environment instead of J2ME, BREW, or whatever.

It's probably working from/stuck in some very sparse space, resulting in relatively poor output. It's a neural network after all.

Telling it to fix its grammar, in a new thread fixes it.

I also confidently assume that telling it to fix its grammar, within the original, topic specific, conversation, would noticeably harm the quality of subsequent output for that topic.
> With the unreleased 32,000 token context window, that is really a lot of context when you consider that it can heavily compress things by referencing what it was trained on.

Also that means you can just iterate with different contexts until you can deal with the problem. How many problems need 50 pages of context on top of what gpt4 knows for solving the next step?

Being a visionary is mostly tied to having a budget line item for paying a PR firm that specializes in that kind of work.

I am a junior FE dev and might not have that much experience in this field as other commenters.

Still, my senior told me a few days ago: "The only way to avoid being replaced by AI as a dev is to become a dev that knows how to work together with AI". And I think this is the only way to stay relevant as a dev in the future.
Given the highly infectious nature of that cancer, just about anything might be the “next frontier”.
I use pip-compile in the pip-tools package:

Keep your high-level dependencies in requirements.in.

Create a virtual environment using venv.

Run `pip-compile resolver=backtracking`. It autogenerates a requirements.txt file with all dependencies and sub-dependencies and their versions. This essentially acts as a lock file from other languages/frameworks.

Install from the autogenerated requirements.txt file in the venv virtual environment.

If a dependency changes, change in requirements.in, recompile the .txt file, and reinstall.
I'm prone to agree. Your memory would still require being parsed by the language model, and for it to have a sufficient window as to allow this. Alternately, the human mind keeps, what, 7 items 'present' at a time? When the 32k variant comes out, the ability to use a side-along memory module on a running self-summarizing conversation will be even easier than it is now. I expect a more human-like memory will emerge eventually, once we can figure out a good way to project and retrieve via arbitrary weight values into it.

I'd like the "stochastic parrot" crew to explain how interactions like this somehow don't involve the extraction of and manipulation of abstract meaning.

H: translate the following sentence to instead use olympic curling related metaphors ( do not explicitly mention curling, and do not use similes in forming the translation ): man:"I've been spinning my tires all day without getting anywhere" woman:"running out of gas?" man:"nah, I'm gassed up, geared up, oiled and revving. I just can't seem to get in the right lane, you know?" woman:"anything knocking?" man:"nah, I'm tuned just fine. I can't seem to get my GPS to connect, you know?" woman:"take a few laps without a destination, see if you can figure out the lay of the land" man:"you know, that might help. thanks barbara"
R: man: "I've been sweeping the ice all day without hitting the target."
. woman: "Losing momentum?"
. man: "Nah, I've got the energy, the technique, and the focus. I just can't seem to find the right path, you know?"
. woman: "Anything coming in your way?"
. man: "Nah, I'm on point with my aim. I just can't seem to get my strategy to align, you know?"
. woman: "Maybe glide a few times without aiming specifically, see if you can figure out the ice conditions."
. man: "You know, that might help. Thanks, Barbara."

It seems obvious to me that it is understanding the metaphors into underlying meanings to be able to translate them like this. I think half the pushback is just ego driven nonsense, similar to the sorts of people that make similar claims on the capabilities of animals.

It's all just an argument that "boats can't swim".
I was about to comment on the "Chapter Fibe" typo, but I decided to check the chapter contents first. So in case anyone else is thinking about doing the same thing, it's intentional.
