It is utterly forbidden to kill in the bible.

Hmm.
I've had the Principal Engineer title for several years now. I think I got basically because everyone else seemed to have awesome sounding titles like that and I asked for it. My manager probably felt guilty because he wasn't giving me a raise that year, so he gave it to me. I got a printed promotion letter and everything!

What did I do? I was on a two person project with another Principal Engineer for all that time, sharing architecture, coding, design, refactoring work. writing tests, doing deploys, etc. basically the same thing I've done anywhere else. What made me a principal? Maybe the fact there was no-one telling me how to code? I guess that doesn't qualify me as a "true" principal like the OP is describing ... but thought I'd share!
I think it's important to note that Google Glass was not really a VR system—it was AR, essentially overlaying a HUD on top of reality. I can see many extremely useful possibilities with this that just don't apply to VR (which, indeed, I think is going to be most useful for entertainment and a few other niches).

AR can help with navigation (overlaying the directions right on your field of view); with social interactions (facial recognition, even locally, can identify people already in your contacts, and remind you "you wanted to thank her for that birthday present", or whatever); with learning about the world (look at a tree, a flower, a bird and ask for an identification)...

And that's basically just taking apps that exist now and imagining them integrated into AR glasses.

(Yes, there are definitely concerns about things like privacy, with the possibility of having cameras on our faces all the time; I am hopeful that we will find solutions for these, but don't have good ones off the top of my head.)
OpenAI has taken it to the next level though.

Sure, then kafka stays online and the rest doesn't because you forgot some details.
Intel’s first announced partnership to be a third party fab is to manufacture chips based on processes that were state of the art in 2013.

TSMC doesn’t have much to fear in the near future.

Edit: I see where the confusion lies.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/patrickmoorhead/2022/08/10/inte...

This was announced two years ago. Intel hasn’t proven that it can be a third party manufacturer for anything close to cutting edge

Intel announced they would be producing chips for MediaTek two years ago.
I guess Databricks is now going after OpenAI?
Agreed. There is also a natural disincentive here to optimize the architecture for "team-based flow". As a product engineer, you often get promoted for doing projects that essentially cope with a sub-optimal architecture. If you improve the architecture, there is less promotion fodder for the next person to get to these levels. In fact, I have myself literally been promoted for the former and NOT promoted for the latter.

Note that I am referring to product engineers. Platform/infra engineers necessarily have to work cross-team. And of course some "product" projects should be cross-team ... but if most or all of your product engineering projects are cross-team that is a huge red flag.
Even at 10w, that's about 2X of the entire rpi under load, and 10w is only the chip. The entire mobo is also more complex and less efficient.
a fast talking Eastern European in Berkeley and his female security expert companion, got pretty far with funding and social position for enacting this business model.. making the rounds at the Berkeley incubator next to the BART station about seven years ago?. IIR the pitch was to hospitals directly as clients. Security for the data streams, plus the money transfers, quickly took over the bandwidth. No one close to the effort questioned the crystal-clear intent to make as much money as possible for the founders and those that chose to do business with them, it seemed. No idea where they are now -- McMansions all around, probably.
I have done something similar to OP with my Miele washer. Once you start a cycle it begin filling the drum, and analysing how much water your clothes absorb, at which point it re-estimates the wash duration based on the measured load size.

Based on the stats I’ve collected, once it done that re-estimate (which is usually reducing the cycle length slightly), the new duration will be spot on nine times out of ten. Occasionally it take longer than normal to balance the drum for the spin cycle, and I can see the machine adjusting it wash duration in my stats.

I’ve also noticed the Miele machine seems I incorporate info from previous wash cycles. So the initial estimate it provides before you hit start, will slowly adjust to match wash duration of your typical load. As a consequence, if the machine says it gonna be done in 1:40, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be done in 1:40, and probably completed in 1:20-1:30. So more than accurate enough to plan around.
Not saying it’s right but the reasoning is easy to understand: offering updates forever for someone who’s never going to give you any more money is profoundly unappealing from a business perspective
I've often wondered why no new manufacturer has appeared with a stacked system that can wash clothes in a top washer and then dump them into a bottom dryer, or even an all-in-one frontloader.
Glad to hear Leading Edge is back in the game![1]

Interesting to see Intel (or atleast a part of Intel) 'working with' a competitor.

Although this might help Intel become more of a foundry player like TSMC this could help ARM get a greater share of the the server market over Intels xeon processors.
that's a different situation though, because that's hardware which is coupled to software. Often exclusively, too (meaning you could install alternate operating systems, even if there were any).
this is a great point. it's ok to firing people over email but, you know the rest of the work should be in person.

it's funny if most people talked to their therapist about their relationship with they're employer it would be the most toxic relationship ever.

they don't say what the mean.

they say one thing and then do another.

they expect me to be loyal but have no problem is dumping the first sign of trouble

on and on
I think the issue is that, when written, a `long` was 32 bits. I would guess the author was familiar with the concept of a carry bit, but they didn't care because the carry bit was discarded by their architecture.
>If you don't have that meaning behind the oath, what is the point in using a book at all unless?

It's, for lack of a better term, "High English." It is meant to sound grand, and thus the grander old style was used. Which is entirely appropriate; IIRC the original Hebrew uses grander language for poetic passages & the words of the LORD.
Honestly, who cares?

Why should I care about this convicted criminal over all the others?

I have no sympathy for this white collar criminal, she doesn't affect my life in any way, she's completely irrelevant to my day to day life.

Why should I give the benefit of the doubt to her over say, someone from Enron or a convicted rapist?

I would want to be on a team that builds (or uses) AI tools that can be used to build out the metaverse. That seems like a balanced approach.
Ask HN: How does your development loop look like?
1. Do you run the binary/service locally at all?

2. If you do; how do you run it and where do you run it from?

3. How do you pass configuration to the binary/service?

4. How do you setup services that your binary/service depends on?

5. How do you run debugging loops? Print statements? Debuggers?

I have a pretty simple setup where I use an IDE to run tests but to run the binary I use my terminal. For debugging I usually use the debugger built into the IDE. Back when I wrote CPP I used gdb but I do prefer the visual debuggers that Jetbrains ships their IDEs with.
I might have abbreviated "Collab" instead.

Or just replace them with electrical outlets. Why we are using high-risk systems in public infrastructures when low-tech, low-risk systems exist is beyond me.

From wikipedia:

> Outcome Health is a Chicago-based healthcare technology company founded by Rishi Shah. Its registered name is ContextMedia Health LLC. It is majority owned by Littlejohn & Co., a private equity firm. After its founders were indicted by a federal grand jury on multiple charges of fraud and also sued by the SEC, veteran tech investor Howard A. Tullman called Outcome "our version of Theranos."

> In May 2017, a funding round with Goldman Sachs, CapitalG, Pritzker Group, and others invested $600 million in Outcome Health, giving it a $5.6 billion valuation. This is the largest single funding round in Chicago since Groupon in 2011, when it raised $950 million in its fifth funding round.

Private capital investment + healthcare = bad combo
> I don't think anything will happen to $TSLA's CEO unless except through malice aimed at his peers that affects their wealth.

He needs to watch out for the Saudis, for sure.
"A lot of money" is a lot less money per user than to buy 64GB RAM to run an inferior model locally + energy and opportunity costs. The OpenAI APIs are super cheap for a single user needs. I expect them to be at least close to breaking even with their APIs pricing.
I dislike it because of the ultra-complex build system that over-ambitious devops engineers ended up building in my shop. Our build system was the hardest part of our code base to reason about, which is pretty screwed up.
wow, the site is so slow. getting "This resource could not be found" errors on reloads.

anyway, here's the text:

> Today was the first day that I could definitively say that #GPT4 has saved me a significant amount of tedious work. As part of my responsibilities as chair of the ICM Structure Committee, I needed to gather various statistics on the speakers at the previous ICM (for instance, how many speakers there were for each section, taking into account that some speakers were jointly assigned to multiple sections). The raw data (involving about 200 speakers) was not available to me in spreadsheet form, but instead in a number of tables in web pages and PDFs. In the past I would have resigned myself to the tedious taks of first manually entering the data into a spreadsheet and then looking up various spreadsheet functions to work out how to calculate exactly what I needed; but both tasks were easily accomplished in a few minutes by GPT4, and the process was even somewhat enjoyable (with the only tedious aspect being the cut-and-paste between the raw data, GPT4, and the spreadsheet).

> Am now looking forward to native integration of AI into the various software tools that I use, so that even the cut-and-paste step can be omitted. (Just being able to resolve >90% of LaTeX compilation issues automatically would be wonderful...)

Ironically, Tao's post convinces me that AI, though amazing, isn't really the solution. Better UX and data quality is. Why was the data so disjoint to begin with? Why is Latex so hard to work with?

In this case GPT-4 is used to solve a problem that shouldn't have even been one to begin with. The administrators of the ICM could've simply exported the raw data as a Google Sheet (for example) and his problem could've been trivially solved even without GPT-4.

Citation needed. They're _designed_ to permanently turn people into bad simulacra of the other sex?

What? Even if that were true, who cares? Your particular religious beliefs are irrelevant.
Perhaps tangential, but there is a Pandoc marco [0] for this program to DOCX via RTF. But I agree, I can do all sorts of things but eventually I am often required to get a document in DOCX. Love Pandoc.

Multi Cloud Multi Installation Deployments
Hey!

In this post I show you how our product instellar.app handles multi cloud deployments. Instellar also makes it easy for you to manage multiple installations of your apps.

Installations basically turn your single tenant app into a multi-tenant app without having to manually code your app to support multi-tenancy.

We also give you a sneak preview of some of the work going into making Rails and Python based Apps compatible with Instellar.app!

Hope you like it!
Interesting. I am looking around their page, but can't find a description on how it works. They say nothing about a CD or something, so it seems you can listen to the audiobooks on their site? How do the local bookstores come into play then?
The answer is Java, not C(++).
Rituals can have a social purpose beyond superstition: e.g. signaling.
I’m not sure, since “lifetime warranties” are never actually perpetual either.

Is white collar crime down or are prosecutions of white collar crime down? How can you tell the difference?

I find it hard to believe that in the age of NFTs and dogecoin and whatever crypto bullshit that white collar crimes are down.
Well, as I mentioned there are escape hatches, but those come at a price in usually maintainability, e.g. using SoA, or external heap.

If you do have a million objects and it is indeed a performance bottleneck (as shown by the profiler) then it might be worthwhile to pursue these solutions, or even implementing them in another language. Noone claims that Java is for everything, but it is for most things.
Humans are just the total sum of their actions. Actions beget being and so rituals beget a practiced being. Humans practice rituals every day without even thinking about it. Ever sat in your chair and immediately wanted a cold one?
Yeah bold prediction I know but I think basically everyone will move back to twitter by the end of the year
This is the important takeaway:

> The second, more interesting lesson is that while assumptions might be valid now, they aren’t guaranteed to be valid in the future, after the code is refactored or reused over the years. It’s important to minimize assumptions and clearly document the remaining ones, as much as possible into the API or type system, and otherwise in high-level comments.

A lot of software engineering lessons can be reduced to “minimize assumptions and dependencies”. This includes the assumption that assumptions won’t change in the future.
Or at least use a USB condom with voltage protection
It is about iteration and interpretation for me. For Java, there is more to consider, there is more to build, there is more to run, and there is more to move around. With Go, things tend to be faster and smaller. It is not feature soup... yet.
Yeah, I waited a good minute of it trying to load before I gave up.

Anyone that got in can share what it says?
Malice in a greed-driven business context just might not equate to malice in growing another person inside your body, right? You see how those might be different and one doesn’t necessarily lead to the other?
They would not pay because they would not trust that the contractors actually did the thing which made the building last more. There is an information asymmetry which creates a market of lemons. If I would build with my own hands I would use the best that money can buy.
I don't expect so, but as LLMs get better more people want to use them in more places. An openly available LLM for commercial use which is easy to integrate in your existing databricks flow could be very tempting. That then leads to increased use of the platform & hours spent computing, so that's better for them.

It also shows how to build and train these things on databricks, so maybe more people will use them to make custom trained LLMs.
Points on Cartooning (1937)
Interesting to see that it's trained on data completely generated by Databricks employees. I wonder how "biased" that makes the data, and how much they spent in terms of lost man hours?
Heh, the DLC business model from games comes to mind.

sites are protected
not only wity TLS but also HSTS and the list goes on.

Wi-Fi doesn't include sturdy security mecanisms anyway, so wifi is never safe.

Companies that are serious about network security are recommended to use a second factor, like a VPN, especially on their company network (because they always have ressources that lack protection)

For customers and individuals like us, sites are safe enough not to do that (unless you host your own services)

So the only thing PPL can do on public networks is maybe fingerprinting, and tracking the whereabouts of your devices accross the place (Especially in airports like Istanbul where you need to swipe your passport in a machine to get a wifi code)

But that doesn't prevent me from going to Discord and HN and do banking over public networks.
Maybe I'm in a minority with this argument - but just because something has a big market cap or a positive trend line, it doesn't automatically make it valid. (Bernie Madoff, Archegos, ...)

Bitcoin has proven itself to be a useful financial speculation object.
I love this biography because it shows how contact with the Islamic world was beneficial and generative to the West (and put the West back in contact with aspects of its intellectual inheritance that it had lost, like the thought of Aristotle).
Additional advantage is you can warm your coffee by putting the cup on the phone, for all the hours it will take.
That's a huge conclusion about personalities from a selection of just 30 people.

The fact they were pumping these for only $39 kind of suggests the reason they never should have made such a commitment in the first place.
Even if it's not available via the charger they'll just do this with ALPR or their proprietary apps. Gotta love surveillance capitalism.

That's why in Europe we have laws against this type of false labeling.
Yes I know but I've walked in some of the places I've seen people complain about (in Seattle) and the picture painted with the fearful comments doesn't match up with reality. Just because someone feels like they are in horrific danger doesn't mean it's true. They could just be scared.

I am embarrassed that candy was such an important part of my childhood.

I enjoyed the "regionalism" of candy. The first time I saw Mentos candy for example was when our family took a road trip across the U.S. border into Canada. And then there were local favorites (here in the Midwest) like "Cherry Mash" candy that you would not see in other parts of the U.S.

To this day I am tempted to do something like pick up an "Idaho Spud" when vacationing along the Snake River canyon....
wow actually this isn't bad
Show HN: Google Analytics alternative with the most generous free tier
Hi HN,

As an indie hacker, the new Google Analytics (GA4) coming motivated me to look for a straightforward alternative that would also be affordable. I had a few basic product requirements and didn’t want to spend too much to replace a free product. There are a lot of great Google Analytics alternatives out there, but the pricing didn’t seem right. As someone who likes to just build things, many of which aren’t businesses yet, it didn’t make sense to pay for options like Plausible and Fathom out of the gate.

So I joined with a friend to build Beam Analytics. Beam gives you all the standard web analytics. It also comes with easy to create funnels so you can see how users move through your site. And we have a great proxy for cohort retention that doesn’t need you to log any data with us. It’s cookie-less and GDPR compliant.

The free tier is 100k page views per month so hopefully you’ll give it a try. There’s also a Wordpress integration to make integrating with WordPress sites as easy as a single click - https://wordpress.org/plugins/beam-analytics/.

Appreciate your feedback. You can also email us at hi (at) beamanalytics.io or DM me on twitter @TheBuilderJR.
I've said the same for ages, based on a simple algebra: given a budget B producing product P, B can be composed of many things. The most important subset of B is the funds used to improve the product (I), and advertisement does not materially affect the product. Therefore a good heuristic of max(I) from many similar-looking Ps, minimize the advertising spend in Ps B.
In Europe spot prices are announced 24 hours in advance so it's actually very easy to this. It's super handy for things like battery-electric vehicles or central heating. For the latter you also take in the weather forecast into your model, and voila, lower power usage, better comfort. For BEV you can easily set plans to charge it even more than usual to take advantage of unusual drops.

My washer and heat-pump dryer don't really use that much electricity. They've become super efficient. There are better and lower hanging fruits than such appliances these days.
