You're right, but I don't yet know, and haven't been advised by my telco (who also owns that tower) what will happen during that migration next year.

My handset (Pixel 4A original) will need replacing if they go 5G only - I guess they will go 4 & 5 combined, but see above.

I don't know if my Telstra-installed (~ 2 years ago) repeater will work with 5G, or I'll need to buy a replacement.

I don't know if I have any recourse or remedy in the event that I lose all connectivity after the 3G retirement.

Signal propagation is weird. When the tech installed my repeater and yagi, most of the time was spent finding the optimum direction - he ended up pointing it at a hill probably 10 degrees off the measured direction for the tower (line of sight is impossible for us).

So, yes, you're right ... but still.

Anyway, Australia has some of the best mobile service coverage in populated areas - that's why they talk about percentage of humans that have coverage, not land area. And I totally understand why.

Reviewing https://www.telstra.com.au/coverage-networks/our-coverage - where I am, unboosted 3G, and to a lesser degree, 4G zones are asserted to be within several km of me - but the nearest 5G blob is ~60km. There's no 'coverage coming soon' zones within 300km of me.

And yes, I blame privatisation. Prior to that, if you wanted a landline service, connection fee was flat, no matter where you were. If that had continued on, presumably the same policy would apply today for other services.

Contesting for last-mile means it's now hideously expensive to the consumer - similarly for power connection - compared to a few decades ago.
It doesn't have to weigh a lot. The max battery you can get for regulatory reasons is 99 watt hours and that's slightly more than a pound.
There are panels in NREL's PV Lifetime Project that are on pace to have 80% rated output after 200 years. https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy22osti/81172.pdf

PV "lifetime" is overblown fossil industry propaganda. It does not factor into any economic decision.
Oh dear, you are right. Last commit was in January.

Thorium was comatose for awhile but come back, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Besides the fact that this will hit every single company in the US that creates software in a non-trivial way (which is likely even true for many manufacturers), how crushing must this be for people just getting started.

You pay $10.000 in development costs and manage to get maybe $2k in early revenue that first year. But instead of being able to claim the full $10k, you're allowed only $2k. And now you pay taxes on $8000 of expenses? With a business that doesn't make any profits? Quite bizarre.
A lesson I've learned over years of cycling and maintaining other kinds of machines, is that all fluids require maintenance. Of course the air in the tires is also a fluid. But introducing yet another fluid to overcome a maintenance issue, is virtually guaranteed to introduce yet another maintenance issue. Ultimately it comes down to a matter of tradeoffs.

You're absolutely right. (Including your predictions.)
Nuclear has to be orders of magnitude safer because nuclear incidents have a way bigger economic impact. A gas plant or solar farm blowing up will be in the hundreds of millions of $, but Fukushima is counting in the hundreds of billions of $.

The nuclear industry has a history of creating plants which are "totally safe, really, you can trust me!" and ending up with really expensive accidents. If they can't get their shit together and get basically unlimited insurance for whatever accident might still happen, the government has to enforce safety rules for them so the taxpayers don't end up having to pay for their whoopsies over and over again.
Just call it CramerGPT and get it over with.
Abstract:

Large language models (LLMs) trained on code-completion have shown to be capable of synthesizing simple Python programs from docstrings. We find that these code-writing LLMs can be re-purposed to write robot policy code, given natural language commands. Specifically, policy code can express functions or feedback loops that process perception outputs (e.g., from object detectors) and parameterize control primitive APIs. When provided as input several example language commands (formatted as comments) followed by corresponding policy code (via few-shot prompting), LLMs can take in new commands and autonomously re-compose API calls to generate new policy code respectively. By chaining classic logic structures and referencing third-party libraries (e.g., NumPy, Shapely) to perform arithmetic, LLMs used in this way can write robot policies that (i) exhibit spatial-geometric reasoning, (ii) generalize to new instructions, and (iii) prescribe precise values (e.g., velocities) to ambiguous descriptions ("faster") depending on context (i.e., behavioral commonsense). This paper presents code as policies: a robot-centric formalization of language model generated programs (LMPs) that can represent reactive policies (e.g., impedance controllers), as well as waypoint-based policies (vision-based pick and place, trajectory-based control), demonstrated across multiple real robot platforms. Central to our approach is prompting hierarchical code-gen (recursively defining undefined functions), which can write more complex code and also improves state-of-the-art to solve 39.8% of problems on the HumanEval benchmark.
Some stuff like photo or video will eat up your freeish cloud based storage for long. iphone backups into icloud too. then you are into the $120 a year plans for like 2tb of storage even though that can probably buy 4tb of local storage these days. they sell 1tb phones for a reason, people have a lot of files.
Hi! Funnily enough I couldn't find much on it either, so that's exactly what I've been working on for the past few months: just in case this kind of question got asked.

I've recently opened a GitHub repository which includes information for both AI model series[0] and frontends you can use to run them[1]. I've wrote a Reddit post beforehand that's messier, but a lot more technical[2].

I try to keep them as up-to-date as possible, but I might've missed something or my info may not be completely accurate. It's mostly to help get people's feet wet.

Nah, that was much more defensible from a penny pinching standpoint since they would’ve had to reengineer their vehicles for larger DEF tanks, would’ve had to represent lower fleet mileage, etc.

You may have been remembering the GM ignition crisis which was exactly that — engineering team shipped inadequate springs at a potential cost savings of pennies per vehicle that allows the cars to turn off while moving.
We are all self-taught to self-punish ourselves into improvement at personal, family, and society level after much reading. My kids all turned out awesome.

It is sad that you like to call others name. That’s an act of being a small-minded person. You should aim for bigger ideas and goals, as it would make you less angry and more happy throughout your life.

I think it is important to enable kids to think for themselves early on, notably in philosophy of Aristotle.

And I do enjoy Fox News … for entertainment. Because mockery of ill-thought-out policies should be thoroughly ridiculed and laughed at.
Well, there are some restrictions on what the bank might not allow the owner to do and that might be where the confusion lies.
I kind of doubt those biographies are very useful. I'm sure they're interesting. Even stuff written for the purpose of helping other become successful has been heavily edited, like How to Win Friends and Influence People.
Hard coding behavior like for the STL that seems pretty questionable, especially given that std::map and std::unordered_map have poor performance compared to other alternatives (e.g. absl::btree_map and absl::flat_hash_map, and likewise folly has better implementations).
> For me the secret is like the famous Article says: "Attention is all you need". I distract my attention on how much "boring", or "painful" or "humiliating" some work that I believe is important is.

I don't follow ... can you elaborate a bit? Are you saying that, when you feel the work is "boring", for example, you somehow distract your attention from how boring it is?

And if so, how?
If nuclear technology improves in efficiency as much as solar has, we'll want to replace the SMRs also in 20 years. Check out this amazing graph [1] of solar efficiency improvements from 1976 to the present. I wonder which kind of cells are on typical roofs.

I've also noticed family members benefit greatly from SSRIs. The main skeptic point I have is I've also seen them absolutely get wrecked by what appears to them as supply chain failures (usually because they're unable to get a meeting with a physician in time for refills and no physician will grant them a "bridge" to the next appointment). Of course as we saw during COVID, supply chain failures of all sorts are possible even when society has not collapsed.

From the outside one of the biggest concerns I have is one of these supply chain failures will put them in even worse place than had they never taken them, as I've personally seen their withdrawal symptoms look far worse than their unmedicated baseline. It seems to be a "better day to day" with the added risk of extreme withdrawal and associated risks during these few in a lifetime supply failures.
This is the kind of story that is amazing to read and even more amazing to hear in person. Since you're telling it today, I assume that even though it was probably a pretty stressful event when it occurred, you now have the perspective to enjoy telling the story and see everyone's face when you tell it.

Thank you for the laughter.
I wonder if those guys have ever met the people from the other side of the NREL office who are running the PV Lifetime project. They have commercial, non-research panels in the field that are aging much less than 0.5% per year.
The traditional forum model is mostly a strength but has some drawbacks, strength is that you have a treasure trove of searchable knowledge and if you ask a question to the dedicated community you have high change to get a helpful reply, because almost everyone using that language is on that forum.

The drawback is that there is usually relatively little information outside of the forum and uncommon that code is shared on things like github, instead code sharing is typically done by copy&paste on the forum, which makes it a bit harder to track and standardize conventions.
I like the idea of Polars, and it's on my list of things to try. Unfortunately, my current codebase in heavily tied to Pandas (bioinformatics tools that use Pandas as a dependency). I also deal mostly in sparse matrices, which I'm unsure if duckdb handles.

Looking at the Polars documentation also makes me nervous, due to how much of my current Pandas-fu relies on indexing to work. I appreciate that indexes can be NSE but it's how a lot of the current tools in my field work (python and in R) with important data in the index, eg, genes or cellular barcodes, and relying on the index to merge datasets.

Another caveat for me is at multiple times in my workflow I drop into R for plots and rpy2 can convert pandas dataframes into equivalent R atomics. With Polars it would be just an additional step of converting to pandas df but just something I need to consider. That said, I've disliked the Pandas syntax for so long that the mental overhead might be well worth it.

I have been freelancing for over 6 years now and also built a bunch of products for myself. Freelancing has been fine, but I would be open to a permanent full time position if the right one comes along. I have worked in teams and as the sole developer - also worked as the lead developer of a small team.

Very few people die in nuclear accidents, but quite a lot of construction workers end up falling off roofs while installing solar panels.
I don't think the article's title really matches up with some of the examples outlined in the article.

That is, most of the time when I hear "influencer giving advice on getting rich", I think of it as total bullshit, and that type of advice ("Dropship on Amazon!!") is nearly universally BS.

But I think it's fine, and actually great, to get real technical advice and classes online. I mean, I haven't seen what advice she gives, but the whole intro about "Miss Excel" doesn't seem like she's "teaching you how to get rich", she's just showing the ins-and-outs of Excel, and some features that may be unfamiliar to some folks, in a fun and engaging way. Heck, those are the types of "1 person company" stories that I think should make it to the top of HN! As another example, one time I was between jobs and I got really into baking, so I paid for some online baking tutorials by https://www.kseniapenkina.com/ , who specializes in a type of glazed "mirror cake". The tutorials were worth every penny and I had a ton of fun making my pastries.

I wonder if you could throttle the m2 yourself and end up with greater battery life than m1? its easy to throttle a cpu in windows settings at least with a dropdown menu, not sure the process for mac but there has to be some analog.

"Romantic" works pretty well if you consider the values of the Romans.
I mean, if you're saying you will go for second-hand, that's just a way of onboarding yourself, because then you'll think "I could upgrade this for a little more money".

All Framework has to do for that effect to kick in is to keep going and building out to a critical mass, which they seem to be well-positioned for - they've got funding, industry hypemen championing the cause, and some "pretty decent" enthusiast products carving a path.
idk there's some finesse I had to learn when switching to tubeless. They do need a little maintenance and it took a while to get a feel for it and not cause more problems.

If you're only getting 2 flats in five years though yeah stick with tubes. I get 3-4 a year and they're much less of an event with tubeless, so the extra routine work pays off.
No but it sounds like it could fall into unregistered security territory.
I'm guessing langchain / llamaindex + openai API?
You just upload your pdf doc directly or via a url and you are good to go.

Neither is waste from PV panels.
> find your target market, “start with why,” and build your “click funnel.” (“Click funnel” is a term that comes up often in online marketing speak; the basic idea is turning your existing connections into paying customers by sending them increasingly irresistible emails.)

This part is an error.

In actuality, "click funnel" refers to the SaaS product called ClickFunnels (www.clickfunnels.com), pioneered by marketer Russell Brunson.

Thanks to Brunson (and his books, Expert Secrets and DotCom Secrets), he's helped create a movement of people who aim to build their own info businesses (courses, 1-on-1 coaching, etc.).

A "funnel" is not "sending them increasingly irresistible emails." It actually refers to upselling customers. A person purchases a product (like a book) at $9.95, then on the next page, you upsell them and offer them a $97 course, then a $197 course, then a $997 live course, etc.

Could someone explain how to test this? Applying the delta conversion requires 60GB of CPU RAM. Do you just have 60GB RAM on your machine?
i don’t know if i believe the $45/MWh figure for solar+storage just yet. Maybe someday, maybe not far in the future, but grid scale storage isn’t scaled out that far in 2023 so far as i know.

I hate this adage. I've taught, a lot. At universities, in high school, and to adults. The idea that people who can't do can teach is not remotely true. Most people can't teach effectively. If you can't do something you also probably can't teach.
filter is an operation.
As soon as you add an operation that builds the tree, it's imperative.

It's okay but that's not fully declarative anymore.

Declarative is simply descriptive of the structure without specific build instructions if you will.
They made it up. Similarly you frequently see claims on here that nuclear came to a standstill because of all the ignorant beatnicks, when in actual reality raw capitalism is why nuclear stalled: Endless disastrously expensive projects tainted the industry into picking everything but nuclear.

Nuclear is a fantastic base load. It is, done right, clean and safe. The weird pro-nuclear cult that spreads manufactured nonsense is just noise, however.
why would you want to chat and interact with a PDF document?
Right, both exercise and sitting bout length independently are important. You just can't completely exercise away the impact of sitting alone.
Random related story: At my 2nd year of college, one of my buddies got into the dropshipping fad after watching courses on YouTube. He drop-hipped cheap bracelets from AliExpress and actually made profits...guess how? He advertised that he was donating 10% of its revenue to people affected by terrorist activities in my country (Nigeria)...turns out people fell for the marketing, and he did not donate one dime.

He left college shortly after and now sells online courses on dropshipping and building businesses, LMAO
>A Model 3 built today has less features, costs more, and performs worse than my 2018 Model 3.

Don't you think this was typical of car manufacturers during the chip shortage? Higher prices but lacking simple features.
My understanding is that the heavy metals are almost entirely from thin film cadmium telluride panels. Not from the much more common silicon based panels which are made of silicon, glass and aluminum for the frame. About as safe materials as one could hope for. The regular panels do sometimes contain a little lead, but this is small amounts for solder which could quite easily be replaced by lead free solder.
Oh actually I was mistaken, looks like dev builds are still up here: https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools/releases/

Clever | Remote (US) or San Francisco, CA | Full-time

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer for our Infrastructure team: https://clever.com/about/careers/senior-software-engineer-in...

Clever is a platform used by more than 65% of schools in the US to streamline access to technology in the classroom, making it easier for students and teachers to log in (SSO etc) as well as for teachers and school staff to set up accounts and resources for their students.

The Infra team is similar to what you might see as Platform or DevOps team: we build software (in Go) so that other engineering teams can deploy production-ready services without focusing too much on the details.

The company is remote but we do have an office in SF for people who prefer office work-style.

Ok. I don't have that. Has/will someone release the full weights with the deltas applied?
Older than the internet.

Not worthy, but society is having a conversation about what to do with these types. Especially with how easy technology has made it to grift. That’s a little more on topic.

So, maybe worthy.

Pitchforks and torches for grifters with Porsches.
Obviously we are the smart ones with our wonderfully clear, expressive, and concise language. /s --kind of.

We really need to be aware of our own biases and biological limitations if we actually want to study and understand the ability of other animals to have complex communications. Birds experience reality differently than we do - they see more of visible spectrum, they can make multiple sounds at once, etc. I wouldn't be surprised that what they can hear and how they perceive things like time is very different then us. Anyone observing parrots, crows, and other highly social avians can see they have complex relationships.
(I work on llama-dl.)

We’re fighting back against the DMCA requests on the basis that NN weights aren’t copyrightable. This thread has details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35393782

I don't think you have to worry about Facebook going after you. The worst that will happen is that they issue a DMCA, in which case your project gets knocked offline. I don’t think they’ll be going the RIAA route of suing individual hackers.

The DMCAs were also launched by a third party law firm, not Meta themselves, so there’s a bit of “left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing” in all of this.

I’ll keep everyone updated. For now, hack freely.
That's the wrong question to ask. From an amoral game theory perspective, the real question is: how can we bleed Russia to death? The ideal outcome would be to trigger multiple civil wars in Russia where various provinces break away from Moscow, leaving the rump successor state no more of a threat than North Korea. In that scenario, Russia would still have to be taken seriously as a nuclear threat but would no longer have enough conventional force to seriously threaten most of their neighbors.
