It won't show up on their financials I reckon, they made equity investment into OpenAI - their P&L won't show on Microsoft's. If they have a sweetheart deal with MSFT, Azure revenues aren't going to change. Even if they built a new DC or bought a boatload of GPUs for OpenAI, it will get mixed into their massive Capex and they probably are using existing infrastructure
I think the reason is, like you said, it is a transit hub.

So passenger flying out of Singapore can mix with people in transit. Therefore, putting the scanner before boarding prevent a possible terrorist attack when someone smuggle in explosive or what not from Singapore or from transit flight.
I once moved to the couch while wearing wireless headphones and accidentally fell asleep at an important meeting. Thankfully I didn't need to speak anymore (I think). A wire anchoring me to the desk isn't the worst idea...
FWIW, I am in a similar position. There is a hardware project I want to build, but had no idea where to start. I asked ChatGPT to guide me and it has gone very well. I haven't actually built anything yet, but my mental state is 100% different. I prompted with something like,

"You are an expert consumer hardware designer and builder. I am a software developer and I want to make a hardware project for the first time. Here are my requirements: _____. Please make a plan to teach me how to build a prototype at home. Start off with a high-level overview and we'll dive into details as we go"
Most sail concepts don't work with today's open deck cargo ships, that problem is solved by the OutSail concept.. but it still faces many more problems:
- Is the connection enough to transmit the sail forces?
- How will a ship with no sailing keel behave?
- How will it affect balance and righting moment?
- How will it behave after years of poor maintenance?
- What happens if the wind picks up and the sails are not retracted early enough? ( The wind forces acting on a sail will at some point prevent you from hauling it in, but with traditional sails an axe can solve the problem )
Good principle. Writing assembly is painful and very rarely necessary. Automated RE tools like Ghidra can do a lot, but there have been more circumstances where I've benefited from reading assembly than writing it. Especially on "embedded" systems, or little bits of reverse engineering of existing systems.
I'm pretty sure descended larynx is not prequisite for producing vowels.
Vowels are merely overtones which occurs because the waves generated in the vocal folds(with a charachtrized fundamental frequency) travel the vocal tract in 3d, which causes destructive interference for most frequencies except those with constructive interference (overtones / formants)
When humans move that tongue and lips we basically change the vocal tract shape which changes the overtones, the larynx is behind the lips and behind/in the back of the tongue anyway.
What about a USB radioactivity detector from 1998?

How does that sound?

If you like you can enable the audio and hear each time a particle hit the Geiger-Mueller tube, right through the headphones.

Understanding behavior of other people (measured against my own mind's sensibilities) is the single greatest mystery I'm still grappling with since the introduction of the smartphone (when the ~99% entered the server and social media really took off).

Made me realize that a good chunk will part with their money for practically anything. Tbh in recent days I'm more and more considering to forget my personal ethics for a while and try to collect some dumb money as well.

Ask HN: How to survive and thrive in the coming AI transition
LLMs have accomplished feats that I thought were impossible. We are much closer to AI taking most jobs, and possibly the singularity, than I ever expected.

My question is how do I personally survive the AI transition?

There is a big discussion about how society should change, and that is an important discussion. However I want things that I can do on a personal level to protect myself and my family.

I have had a few thoughts:

1) AI is going to allow companies do do a lot more work with far fewer people. This means that companies will become a lot more profitable, and pass that value to shareholders. Actionable insight: Keep investing in the stock market, expecting significant returns.

2) AI improves worker output. Therefore I should adopt it as much as possible to make as much money while humans are still required to be in the loop.

3) If my job (computer programmer) becomes largely obsolete then I could move into a profession that is less susceptible to being replaced by AI.

4) Work on AI, this is good for the same reasons as #2

Can anyone see any problems with the above arguments, or even better propose some better ideas?
Maybe. Remember, there was no other option to play mobile games for quite a while, so nintendo had the "exclusive".
. Steam library is really big and can increase in size way faster than Nintendo by simply improving proton.

Still, I see your point.

To be fair, I don't understand how people accept the Switch controllers breaking so easily. It's really really bad. A terrible product, they always drift
I have an old HC stack I would really like to rebuild in a more modern environment, e.g. a Web app or something similar. Does anyone have any recommendations how can I examine the stack and extract the source?
In the competing array indexing syntax

*(a+b)

there is the same evaluation order issue, and they should have the same behaviour: is a evaluated before b or the compiler is allowed to choose an order? Clearly it depends on the rules for

a+b

which are more important than the special case of array indexing.
So you want a future where the electric energy supply is unreliable. Such an infrastructure is orders of magnitude less useful (read cost efficient) than the current one.
If there is such emergent behavior that looks intelligent, how can you tell it apart from human intelligence? Devising a test that can answer this is an area of active research. Let's say for instance that it can come up with a novel mathematical proof that was not part of its training data - would you accept that as evidence towards AGI?

Agreed - even if there's a vastly superior search engine released tomorrow, so many people grew up with Google and learned how to deal with it, it's the default in most browsers - a space owned largely by Google - etc. It's even harder to get a large number of users to move if the product works differently.

I rather think LLMs will ruin the web with insane amounts of garbage content, and with it most of Google's livelihood. Hopefully not by this time next year though.

It is! And especially when you’re the dev type and not necessarily a natural at promoting yourself…

Building the audience took about a year and a half. But what made it easier is that I didn’t set out to build it just to sell the course, it was mostly a byproduct of trying to form connections and get more awareness for my startup. Then the course was just a way to capitalize on it even more.
If I understood correctly, you are referring to applying some sort of tag component to a set of entity to be able to query it in a separate system. Am I correct?
For cross system data flow, I think a mechanism similar to what Bevy does is the way to go. A specific event bus where the developer can send any type of struct, which can also allow passing a set of entity ids. I have briefly used it for my project and I think it's clear to reason about. The only catch is that you need to be careful about timing (the time between sending and receiving an event might take one frame to propagate).

The nowhere near this yet remark meant MSFT completing integration of ChatGPT with Bing and releasing it to endusers whereas Google is yet to do it for their search (at least I am not aware of it).

I am a daily user of Google search, but yesterday I went to Bing after MSFT announced it in an email to me that it was available to me.
Why Are Tech Companies Ramping Up Investment in Cinemas?
Magnetic usb c adapters: adds universally compatible magsafe+data transfer to all devices for $10-20. Very convenient.

Kdeconnect, scrcpy (software): notifications, reply to messages, automute on calls... what MS and apple copied.

Keyboard with QMK or kmonad(software) or other software: e.g. caps works as both ctrl and caps. Easier umlauts. Multimedia keys, shortcuts etc on compact keyboards.

Screenbar: convenient lighting.

Droidcam, camo (software) or hdmi capture cards: again sherlocked, but the original software gives you much more control.

Wacom tablet or sidecar-like: since apple and samsung sherlocked the idea, the original apps dried out a bit. Use a tablet as a wacom contiq. Preferably wired.

Audio interface: use professional mic, headphones with your pc. Also eguitar.

This is not true if you never agreed to Meta's license. If you haven't, you either can't redistribute the weights or you're completely free to use them as you see fit depending on whether weights are copyrightable (very likely) or not. We'll have to wait for the llama-dl lawsuit to find out for sure.

Agreed! I also use DECT based headset (Poly i.e. ex-Plantronics - recently acquired by HP) and it is amazingly good. Range up to f*ckintillion meters (anywhere within the house or garden basically), up to 8 hours use on a single charge (I regularly forget to charge it overnight and I can still use it the next day), no delays, no weird disconnects in the middle of a call, great mic quality and it works both with my PC and home landline.
Lending and the Engineering of Chaos
Some experiences on building lending and ml software for Fintech startups.
Trust in AWS and Nitro HyperVisor system is taken for granted here, if that’s what you mean. We don’t necessarily examine AWS’s code or hardware, we’ll just have to take their word for it.

Which is what we and our customers do already, when we run our workloads on it.

We know this is a problem, but this is where we’re ok with drawing the line. If you’ve seen Reflections on Trusting Trust you’ll know we have to draw the line somewhere.
They apparently got a lot of Azure credits and Microsoft isn't making any revenue from running OpenAI's workloads.
perhaps it's different in your state, but in mine you can only get one box/month regardless of how much is in the box. and the size of the boxes available varies. if you manage to get a 96-count box then that's enough for once/day of the regular dose (2 tabs/day) plus some extra. but 96 is often sold out across many local pharmacies (I'd guess about half the time I try), and then the next best option is 48. this means you don't have enough for once/day (I need 2 tabs once/day as prescribed by my doc). sometimes all that's available is 24-count. or none at all. add to this that the state verification system goes down with some frequency, and on those days nobody can buy at all (and you don't know until they have your box within arms reach and you're trying to pay). so every month I end up on a hunt for this medication that is extremely frustrating and sometimes doesn't result in me getting what I need. meanwhile meth rages anyway--while domestic production went down after the sudafed restrictions, consumption continues due to illegal imports.
Interesting, I tried with mine and her hands are too small.
this sounded like a "yes" to me with only the slightest qualification

> `parquet-tools cat` turns it into greppable lines

After all, you can't grep gzipped CSV either without some ancilliary tool than grep.
I'm not too sure of what you mean.

I think it stems from the fact that you are only looking at expressions, forgetting that these are just part of, possibly implicit statements.

Basically, there is always an assignment.
And that assignment is conditional.

That means that you are effectively writing how something is being built instead of simply describing what it is.

That is just not fully declarative.

That's all.
Experienced worse.

At one company we had a deployment script written in English. That support from India would execute. Except they would occasionally inject their undocumented codes to fix their own issues.

That and the component oriented distributed monolith that ran on single machine. It was monolith architecture but it was made to run on multiple machines. However it was never distributed and starting the components was an arcane science.
It is concerning. But not for the reasons the media makes it out to be.

Only 0.18% of all gun homicides were committed during a mass shooting. https://www.maciverinstitute.com/2022/05/debunking-every-maj.... The chances of you being killed in a shooting are less than being struck by lightning. If you don't plan on joining a gang, frequenting a bad part of Baltimore or St. Louis, or committing suicide, it becomes orders of magnitude less likely, to the point where you're no less safe in the USA than any other country.
At the same time, various US states have introduced "anti-drag" laws to enforce gendered clothing. Intended to be used against gay men and trans women, just like the conditions that led to the Stonewall riot.
The cynic in me sees they are making a vendor lock-in play, the API is dirt cheap so much so that every other bespoke chatbot or language model is now obsolete - every chat startup is now switching to OpenAI.

Once everyone has their prompts and embeddings tuned and is serving customers, OpenAI can dial up the price and customers chose to keep paying or redo their prompts/embeddings to switch to Bard or the next competitor. It does seem like business as usual if you relied on GPT-3 now ChatGPT, then whatever iteration comes next, probably won't work the same, so its not a heavy heavy lift. Decent platform risk, I believe OpenAI shutdown Codex so now everyone who had a product based on Codex has to switch to ChatGPT

They could just buy men's clothes?
as an owner of a Van Moof I think they had their moment, but now it's time for the company to go bankrupt. They have made too many mistakes, and focus on the wrong things, so it is time for some darwinian pruning.

Let me explain: they were early to introduce a cheap e-bike with a nice design (the S3 came in at €2o00 + €400 3 year service). Cheap is of course relative,but at the time most reputable brand ugly as hell bikes sold for €3000+.

Where they went wrong is that they took minimalism too far. The combination of automatic shifting (and there are no buttons), absence of a pedalling force sensor (cause cheap) and an internal gear hub (can't really shift under load) is basically a recipe for disaster. Combine that with general lack of QA and all of a sudden you have a company burdened by it's repair costs almost to the level of bankruptcy...

Ya gotta wonder to what degree right-to-repair laws are covering e-bikes (if at all).
> People in Finland bike everyday during winter in the snow, there's nothing really stopping you from doing the same

Finland gets significantly less snowfall than we do here in winter (Oulu gets like 1/6 the snow that we get less in January, for example), and it is much colder and drier there which makes for better cycling conditions.

> “Sure, it is easier here than in the south," he said. "-15℃ is much better to cycle in than sleet.” From November to the beginning of April, temperatures usually stay below freezing, with average temperatures in January and February below -10℃.“ This makes for pretty good circumstances,” Vaarala noted, adding that salt is not used on Oulu's streets. Instead, ploughs only clear away the uppermost layer of snow. “The thin layer of remaining snow on the ground gets packed when people cycle on it, and thanks to the snow, you will get a quite good grip.” Simola, who cycles daily, agreed, saying that pedalling on the snow can be even more comfortable than on the bare asphalt.[1]

They also spend a sigificant amount to keep bike lanes clear of snow, which my city does not (they spend a significant portion of their budget already just trying to keep roads passable for cars/trucks). And even then, cycling rates in Finland drop significantly in the winter (from 20% of all trips to 10%), so a lot of people must be choosing not to cycle in the winter.

Basically Finland benefits from a rather unique set of geographical and cultural circumstances, and I don't think what works for them would work everywhere.

I always viewed the continual cycle of changing the rules which usually coincides with some negative publicity be it an attempt or attack or investigation… as a form of being seen to do something for the sake of having to do something in response to the recent event, as just another layer of the security theatre. Like the production of a whole season of shows by a live theatre group is just as much a layer above the repetition of the performance each night and no less part of making the “theatre” happen than each individual performance is.
I don't have much experience with them but I think Paperspace.com might be worth a look. I think it's positioned sort of like Heroku for ML.
Except that this is a court order and has nothing to do with the current government. You know, separation of powers, blabla. But it's just too easy to point the finger and yell "fascists".
i honestly do not know what is worse from the three realistic alternatives:

1- to have large corporations and people with privileged access to them have these models exclusively and have them collaborate as a clique

2- to have those models openly released to everybody, or de-facto released to everybody as they leak in short order

3- to have the people who think releasing models is a bad thing simply not release them and work alone in their proprietary solutions, as the smaller companies and hobbyists do collaborate

i say let them have a go at number 3 and see how that works for them - shades of "Microsoft Network" vs Internet all over again
