Fun thing is that laptop OEMs exposing useful 'value-added functionality' (like custom fan control) via pre-defined WMI ACPI callouts is actually the sensible choice to make.

I've seen laptop OEMs that rely on a custom kernel driver for this, and then if you want to reimplement their pile of 'overly modular everything control suite' you're stuck loading a generic read/write-memory driver which is blocklisted by every antimalware and anticheat solution in existence.

(In addition, it seems some WMI/CIM/MOF ACPI stuff is supported on Linux fine, too, as long as OEMs try to stick to standard DMTF-spec stuff I guess... so one can also just do 'generic' user-space stuff there if lucky)
I'm also wondering about the cost of maintenance and repair (say, in case of an underground refrigerant leak). I too would love to be wrong - it'd be a decent solution for a cold Albertan winter. It doesn't matter that the air is -40 if you're below the frost line.

If you have hydronic heating anyways then why not get a wood fired boiler? They're extremely common where I am. Why would you need to store the heat? A wood fire isn't instant on but it doesn't take that long either plus you get the heat from the stove itself well before the baseboards heat up.
I don't want to live in my current house. I want a mansion, complete with indoor pool, bowling alley (I haven't been bowling in 15 years, but just in case I get the urge I want one in my house), large shed for my antique car collection (which of course I want the money to afford to have), plenty of land for horses, with an entrance to the subway just outside the door. The above is not a complete list, and I'm sure you can come up with lots of other things you would like in a house that you cannot afford.

If you look at the list above you will realize that some things are contradictory - you cannot have everything no matter how rich you are. It gets worse when you start adding more desires.

Some of use have enough money to afford a nicer house than others. However when you get down to what you actually need to live a capsule is a good minimum - nice enough that if you cannot have more you still have an acceptance quality of life. However not so nice that people who could afford more refuse to contribute to society.
They do play games borrowing against their assets. Why can they do this? Becomes the government have monopolized *the cost of capital* I completely agree this is bad. But giving the government more taxes will not make them suddenly change their mind about this.

Thank you. The evidence I've seen suggests RWKV-LM does not work well with long sequences:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35375616

So far, every method I've come across that works well with long sequences does it by explicitly modeling (approximating) all possible pairwise relationships between tokens. In the case of attention, that means modeling n×n, or n², pairwise relationships. In the case of that dynamic routing method, it means modeling n×m pairwise relationships, where n and m are the number of tokens in the input and output sequences. I suspect that the key reason why that routing method works for long sentences is because m can be much smaller than n: Routing 1M tokens to 100 tokens requires ~10,000x less compute than applying attention over 1M tokens for each of 1M tokens.

If the work described by the OP succeeds in bringing computational cost down from O(n²) to O(n log n) while still explicitly modeling (approximating) all n² pairwise relationships, that would be a huge win.

Presumably the suggestion is to enact legislation under which the state would effect such seizures, which wouldn’t facially be unlawful. It might be unconstitutional, or impermissible in a rechtstaat, or inconsistent with a basic structure, but that wouldn’t be the case everywhere. In the Norwegian case the unconstitutional operation of a law is disapplied inter partes but not erga omnes at least de jure, although the state may take a hint.
Show HN: Spinreactor.ai – The First AI-Designed News Bias Filter
[The following post was generated by GPT-4 because it fit within the spirit of the project and I'm bad at copy]

Hey HN community! I'm excited to share my latest project: SpinReactor.ai – a groundbreaking AI-designed and driven news bias filter that cuts through the noise and delivers spin-free, concise news articles.

SpinReactor utilizes News API (https://newsapi.org/) to gather the latest headlines from multiple US sources. It then applies a dual layer similarity heuristic to group similar sources together. But that's just the beginning. With the help of GPT-4, SpinReactor breaks down the articles into core facts, strips away any editorializing, and synthesizes its own concise, unbiased article. It even open cites its sources for full transparency!

To add some fun to the mix, we're using StableDiffusion, a text-to-image GAN, to generate article images. While they might not always capture the perfect mood, they sure make for some entertaining visuals.

And guess what? The entire project, from the logo to the HTML and CSS, was prompted out of GPT-4. We even prompted GPT-4 to prompt StableDiffusion to create our unique logo.

We'd love for you to give SpinReactor.ai a try and let us know what you think! We believe it's a game-changer in the fight against news bias, and we can't wait to hear your feedback. So go on, give it a spin, and let the AI revolution begin!

I wanted to step through what the workflow would be for a fully AI-driven project. Honestly it was the most pleasant experiences I've had in a while. I went from an empty VS Code window to basically the final form in around 6 hours and none of that time was spent in the planning stage. I'm very pleased with the final product.

Automatic import of new stories is currently disabled (I added that feature) in order to figure out project costs of using GPT-3.5 vs 4. I'll have it up by tonight. If people find value in this output of this product, I have no problem with keeping it up and maintained despite the fact that I just wanted to try out AI-driven development. Thanks for checking it out!
AI jobs and salaries from 100 AI startups with 3000 AI jobs
Hi folks

I developed Best AI Jobs during my brothers job search (he got fired due to latest Tech firing/ job freezing) we figured almost all of the tech sector is in a reccesion/job hiring slowdown besides AI, which is evolving really quickly and still gets a lot of funding. So i figured to create a job board that aggregates jobs from 100+ different AI startups that recently got funded.

To make a website like this i needed to scrape websites like Greenhouse and Lever. I parsed the useful information such as salaries and hiring location. I manually added companies and gave a description about them with the help of chagGPT

My brother acctually got an job interview from searching through my job board and applying, so that made me happy.

You can also check out the Developer https://bestaijobs.com/salary/ from 1000+jobs.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on how I can make this even more helpful for people looking for AI jobs and make the transition to AI space.

Thanks in advanced!

I'm not sure if you will ever see that, the EU is currently trying to band all flourinated hydrocarbons, right in the middle of the 'we all need a heatpump' run. The only "viable" refrigerants after that will be CO_2, propane and ammonia. The "viable" is in scare-quotes because all of them are kind of nasty, CO_2 and ammonia are quite poisonous, CO_2 is inefficient or unusable for the temperature range in question, ammonia is very very corrosive and propane is flammable and explosive. Maybe the US will do the sensible thing and wait it out, meanwhile buying up all the cheap, working heatpumps with traditional refrigerants.
We better start on another baby boom then. Mass transit of any sort requires a certain population density to be viable. Unless you define any given suburb as "backwoods".
Tailwind is great, but I consider it an outlier. They went and made a stand-alone compiler so you don't have to use NPM build processes. It works very well.

It's less that people take issue with JS/TS itself and more the frameworks that use it and the associated dependencies and tooling. The complaints in the article are very representative of my experience.
> The drug is not the problem. \n The social net / missing social network is.

The drug is the problem, and so are the suppliers -- they are killing people. Addicts and people who need psychiatric care are harming themselves. If the criminal suppliers were supplying contraband woolen socks instead, there might only be a trade dispute and a loss of retail tax income.

That said, users of harmful drugs fall into two sacrifice zones: SZ1) the purveyors of the harmful drugs don't care much if you die, and SZ2) the rest of society doesn't care if you die, but doesn't want you dying in a business district.

Government is willing to be in some "dealing" businesses, such as tobacco and alcohol, because by far most users of these substances can keep working and paying taxes. The economic advantage of government involvement is clear.

There is only so much that the levels of government will invest to reduce (palliate) the suffering of users of harmful drugs. Local government is directly motivated to not have its community (revenue base) supplanted by drug zones. Citizens don't want that either. So the minimal mitigation is what you would expect.

When we say something is a social problem, we often mean that we wish humans were kinder to humans.

Yeah, I've always found the trend with adult Lego fans to be a bit funny - buy the set, build it, and put it on a shelf somewhere.

That's fine, you do you, AFOLs - but the way we played with Lego was we'd get a new set, build it, play with it in that form for a while, and then eventually, it got taken apart for some new idea and thrown into the bin.

There are 2 or 3 30 gallon tubs at my parent's house still filled with Lego, it must be the collected output of at least 100 different sets that were given to us for birthdays, Christmas, and also bought by us when we were old enough to have our own money and young enough to spend it on Lego. We had an air hockey table in the basement that was almost always covered with a landscape of fortresses, spaceships, and weird Bionicle monsters. Good times.

I'm wondering if, for very long contexts, the most efficient way could be to read and remember the same way we humans do: first do a full read of the first N pages, then summarize that and continue reading. You lose precision of what you read many pages ago, but it allows you to retain much more context by essentially "compressing" the information.

He recognized the signs of sleep apnea and pursued treatment with sleep apnea devices, getting confirmation of the problem with the help of his doctor. The DIY part was largely related to pushing the process forward, not doing novel experimentation.

Nobody would call that “anti-science”.

Anti-science would be something like ignoring the common treatments and trying to solve the problem with natural supplements or something. Going this route often delays people from getting to proven treatments because they spend a long, long time trying underpowered or unproven things that don’t work.
This is another a hit piece on Bitcoin, AND an attempt to force in ESG mandates based on concerns for the environment.

The most jarring part of the article is the table that attributes 70-90+% of the met energy requirements towards fossil fuels, whilst not providing ANY explanation as to how such conclusions were made other than "We pulled it from WattData's analysis for energy usage from March 9", and are provided NO links or references towards the WattData data used. The percentages themselves aren't backed up with references towards WattData. Nothing concrete from NYT themselves that can be used to say "Here's the exact calculations & sources that we used for this data".

Keep in mind that this is the lynchpin for the entire article. If no references are provided for such a a critical part of the article, then such data cannot be used and the random average case must be used instead:

((Daily energy usage of facility, MWh) / (Average Daily Total Power generated by the state, MWh)) * (Generated from fossil fuels, %) * (Total emissions from fossil fuels for the state, MT of CO^2)
Experiments are science, and if we knew how they’d turn out beforehand they wouldn’t be experiments.

Here is what happened from an Elon Musk tweet in the article:

> Our landlord at SF HQ says we’re legally required to keep sign as Twitter & cannot remove “w”, so we painted it background color. Problem solved!

Landlord probably wants the sign to stay there to drive business or for vanity reasons. Elon probably wants to or has vacated the office and wanted to take down the sign.

That's intense overhead rates. EU Research Grants typically come with 25% I believe. That rate is set by the funding agency and not negotiable (and rates have not gone up since I have been involved).

That said, I don't get the hand wringing over this. This seems to be between funding agency and the university. You write a proposal for what you need and then you add a random number on top. Unless you're constraint by a maximum amount you can request why care?
Up to 64% as stated in the article. The 84% efficiency statement is in reference to the theoretical efficiency of a Carnot cycle.
An Overview of Llama’s model architecture
> that any post about Bob Lee’s death that somehow editorializes it or positions it in a way that is likely to lead to political debates is against the site guidelines and thus were removed appropriately.

A lot of discussions on HN lead to discussions of government policies (both U.S. and foreign) when there's a connection to the story, including saying that certain policies lead to the death of individuals. There's only a subset that gets mass flagged. If he was shot to death by police at a protest, killed by a U.S. military strike in another country, died as a result of a mass Covid surge, stories mentioning the reason for his death wouldn't be mass flagged. People wouldn't be forbidden from mentioning the causes of death on the only one that isn't, and it wouldn't be dismissed as "political flamebait."

If Hacker News decides that discussion about government policies is off limits, that's fine. It might even make discussions better. But allowing it in some situations and having it "removed appropriately" in others is only reinforcing bias. I think characterizing that as abuse is appropriate.

Edit: If you want to see an example, look at the Hacker News discussion about the death of Aaron Swartz. The cause of death isn't hidden, and there's a lot of criticism of the government, none of which is getting dismissed as editorializing or political flamebait[1].

I don't claim to be in the same league as OP but I can tell you from my experience. I have a demanding job (CTO of Cloudflare) and I have a partner with whom I like to spend time.

One of the projects I am currently working on is restoring an IBM ThinkPad 701CS (https://blog.jgc.org/2023/03/repairing-tiny-ribbon-cable-ins...) which has required a total teardown and rebuild. I started this project in early January and currently have a working machine that's in parts. I work on this when I have time. Which might be for two or three hours a week maximum. Basically, I decided to get satisfaction from small improvements. So, one time when working on this I just cleaned up the battery contacts, another time I replaced the CMOS battery and saw that it was retaining RAM size, another time I repaired the keyboard, another time I just sat down and figured out which parts of the case I needed to 3D print to replace, etc. etc.

I usually have two to three projects ongoing and just pick them up when I have time and inclination.
I think we need a website arewe llm yet.net to show what areas have been solved what % by LLMs and where they struggle currently. I expect some things will be fully solved, while some will have low degree of success.
The idea of fining the companies involved is proposed near the end of the article:

Jaime Viloria of Equity on Public Transit, a grassroots group of riders in the Tenderloin neighborhood, says companies operating autonomous vehicles should be fined for causing delays.
> Brownberger seems to miss the key fact that you can't run a gas heating system on renewable energy.

just a small nit pick:

In theory you can produce methane from electricity, so it is possible.
However the efficiencies are abysmal, which makes this almost always a very bad solution.
Doing nothing does that for me. Seriously. I'm regularly confronted with this feeling, and one thing I found over the years to consistently lift me out of that trough of meaninglessness is meditation. It boils down to "if nothing seems to matter, then just don't do anything". But I have to resist the temptation to just engage in some form of escapism and just sit there with that boredom. Initially it's hard, but after about half an hour to an hour the feeling of boredom and meaninglessness recedes, and my mind becomes more calm, focused and purposeful. It's as simple as that, at least for me.
Pedestrians (aka everyone) pushed for sidewalks, long before cars. Cyclists (a much smaller voting block), pushed for bike lanes, and it took them much longer. What voting block is going to push for infrastructure improvements needed by self-driving cars?

Bad assumption. It’s like expecting framers to know the ins and outs of LVL production.

I wouldn't call those mutexes myself, but fair enough, I suppose if linux uses this terminology, then that's what people would call it.

But this sort of pattern isn't valid everywhere in a kernel. For example things handling interrupts etc wouldn't be able to use it.

Also for performance reason you probably don't want to use that for synchronization for anything performance-critical, where you'd try to use something like RCU instead. Probably mostly convenient for initial setup.

A home gas furnace can easily surpass 90% efficiency. Turning the gas into electricity and then including the transmission losses to the home is going to be way below 84% efficiency. Plus reusing the heat produced at the power plant is much more difficult than reusing the heat produced in the home, when the purpose is heating the home in the first place.

The author does not mention if their system is air-sourced or ground-sourced (aka geothermal) - ground sourced systems typically use 25-50% less energy and are especially well-suited to places with colder temp extremes where an air-sourced system becomes quite inefficient. Downside is more expensive to install (need to bury a bunch of tubes in your yard)

> Brownberger seems to miss the key fact that you can't run a gas heating system on renewable energy.

Of course you can. You can use nat-gas-like gas mixtures from decomposition of different kinds of waste, e.g. biomethane and the like. You can also use hydrogen (within limits) and methane produced from green hydrogen (though usually inefficiently).

I hate when authors include their own ideas inside a list of very notable ones while not including the original ideas they used. It comes off so pompous.

I have installed condensate dryers which are actually more efficient than heat pump dryers but take a couple of hours to dry. They don't need to be vented to the outside.
Oh, it's adjustable!? In that case, who cares?
And even if you don't, a 60% efficient gas turbine at the power-plant, paired with a 3+ COP heat pump in the home will be 2x more efficient than burning gas directly in the home.

Using gas in an adsorption heat-pump is quite inefficient and unlikely to break even economically. Perhaps a gas turbine home boiler could be produced, that combines a mechanical heat-pump with a high efficiency combined cycle turbine; alas, they do not exist and would be very expensive. It's a startup idea.

2. "Build more Manhattans" is easier said than done. Even petro-states with astronomical amount of money to splash around have a hard time building a "Manhattan". Dubai might be very shiny and the financial capital of the middle east, but it's no Manhattan.
