There is the other side of the coin here, in that if landlords are trying to expand their businesses / finance improvements to properties, they will be looking at taking on more debt. This will increase their average rate, and they will absolutely pass that on to their tenants. The question is of timeframe over which this process will occur.
The burden on is on you to provide evidence for your claims, not for me to go fishing for them.

Regardless, I doubt whatever you have in mind is anything similar to an authoritarian regime that literally murders critical journalists and poisons opposition politicians. It is an absurd comparison.
That is a false equivalence though.

ex: "Nazis eat food, you eat food, therefore you're a Nazi."

Doing something that all people do and are expected to do, on either side of the conflict, does not actually make a difference. Being a complete and utter jackass makes the difference.
I also see that as the use case and would find it useful. However I feel this is somewhat low-budget so far coming from such a large company.

I mean, between the solid decade of right-wing propaganda against social media and HN's general cynical contempt for modernity it shouldn't be surprising. Plenty of people here would gleefully welcome any degree of authoritarianism so long as it hurts social media.

Of course if it's any platform trying to stop child porn or racism or violence against gay and trans people, Hacker News always stands united in the name of absolute freedom, regardless of the consequences. But social media? Burn it all down and salt the earth.

I'd love to hear about other alternatives people are enjoying, but this has reliably shielded me from what MS has done to their start menu for several years now.

-------------------------------

Edit:

I just wanted to add that I'm a little shocked that a discussion of Open Shell or other alternatives to the default Windows menu isn't higher in this thread. Windows has always been an OS that was meant to be customized. If Microsoft makes a poor choice for the default start menu, then change it. This isn't OSX.

Yes, Linux is great, but Windows is highly customizable too. MS may be trying to look more like Apple these days, but the roots are still there. Graft whatever you want onto them. Sometimes you need to use Windows, so you might as well learn how to make yourself comfortable with it.

> The obvious course of action when you are unsure about something is experimentation. However, a relationship isn’t an activity (like a job, hobby, or sport) to try and quit when you don’t like it. It requires two people, and you must find a second person willing to try. Finding someone is hard, though. This brings me back to what I said a few paragraphs ago; I don’t see myself ready to invest much in something I’m not even sure I want. Also, if it doesn’t work out, I’m scared of leaving a broken heart in another person.

It doesn't have to be this way to start out. A relationship can be something that happens as a result of a friendship. It doesn't have to be an expectation from the moment you first meet someone. Take things slow, and you'll have a minimum amount of investment and a minimum risk of broken hearts. Don't think of it as "starting a relationship", think of it as "meeting new people". A relationship isn't something you choose, it's something that sometimes happens if the right circumstances align. If it is the right thing for you, the time and emotional investment will come naturally.

On one hand, that may be true. On the other hand, we may now be able to provide LLM-powered fact checkers, able to reply to every post or label them in order to slow down the dissemination of that kind of info.

Of course, authoritarian regimes will be able to do so as well, which is both a curse (much more reactive censorship) and a blessing (unlikely to understand new euphemisms or coded messages by itself).

This capability has been available for several years now.

In 2019, OpenAI said they couldn't fully release GPT-2 because it would be too dangerous. Now anyone can run a more powerful model.

In what ways has the predicted danger manifested in reality?
> that companies are currently racing to go to market with some "ai thing" and most are chasing it because it is the "next big thing" in their mind, not because they know what problems for their end users that it can actually help solve.

And if you re-read my comment, what I am saying is that while I'm not exactly "racing", I do have a very clear problem for my end users that this actually helps to solve. Its possible I could've cobbled together a similar solution with other technologies, but I didn't see a very clear path forward on this user-facing problem until very recent developments.

I suspect that the people in this same boat far outnumber people in the Metaverse or crypto equivalents.
You need to make sure the play head is over the clip you've selected. I don't know why.

The insane rendering time one is weird, but it only seems to show up in the Windows version. Apparently it's something to do with having one dodgy frame in the clip. I suspect it's something to do with sources encoded in h.264, but I'd expect that to affect the Mac port as well. Linux doesn't seem to be affected.

You can try doing "render in place" for the affected clip, which seems to help.
maybe paranoidly, but i just didn't trust openai with my highly personal message data. it would certainly have been easier + probably cheaper to do it this way, but it just gave me the willies.

Agreed, there is a lot wrong with this world ;) But what do you mean or how relating to the article? That you are in that stance? Or expectations of others? Please explain.
Do you think technology is a notable differentiator for Twitter?

Are new users (or actual customers—advertisers, blue-checks these days, which, LOL) signing up because they want access to the technology?

If another company cloned 100% of Twitter's proprietary technology, perfectly, how would investors react to that company, if that's all they've got?

If that company offered that tech for sale, outright, straight-up IP transfer, a single bidder owns the whole thing, what percentage of Twitter's value would that tech command on the market?

I'd go with:

1) No,

2) No,

3) They'd practically ignore it,

and 4) probably not even 1%

Another day on the orange site where people don't understand that you can 100% have relationships in a NoSQL database - just don't try to do it the same way you do in a "relational" one or you're going to have a bad time. Storing everything in one collection is critical.

Here is an example using multi key indexes with Rick Houlihan from re:Invent 2022: https://youtu.be/eEENrNKxCdw?t=1131
I am not so sure about the generative models thing. Everyone is losing their shit about ChatGTP et al, yet I am sitting here saying yeah neat trick but I cannot trust anything it generates since anything and everything can be 100% made up and totally inaccurate and outright false. It is neat technology, but ultimately it is like a dictionary where you have to double-check that it is telling you the correct spelling every single time you look up a word - totally useless in other words: why bother using the dictionary at all if you then need to go check that the dictionary is right using some other source of truth? Why not just go straight to that and skip the dictionary in the first place since it is so untrustworthy.

Every single time I've asked ChatGTP or Bard a "simple" question that I know the answer to, there has always (always!) been something simply outright wrong. It is just not ready to be trusted right now, but I look forward to the day when hallucinations are solved.

Until we can be sure that LLMs do not hallucinate, I struggle to see the value to everyday-people for LLMs beyond use cases where accuracy and facts are unimportant. So ignore google-killing search engines, ignore medical diagnosis, ignore programming, ignore legal advice, and instead embrace making up stories or poems about unicorns or whatever where facts, accuracy, and correctness simply don't matter. It will still have a big impact sure, but I don't think it will be as world-changing as people think once the novelty wears off and people realise that LLMs are generally not very reliable when it comes to giving accurate info, and are better suited to "creative" tasks where correctness/accuracy doesn't matter. E.g. with stable diffusion (remember that?) no one expected a perfectly anatomically accurate picture of a dog or whatever - it did a passable picture of a dog eating a burrito or whatever the prompt asked for, but no one confused it with reality or treated it as fact. This is where I feel that we are with LLMs right now - passable, but does not hold up to detailed scrutiny.

But obviously yes the metaverse is obviously total bullshit and facebook have totally jumped-the-shark on this. They're currently deep in restructuriung to undo over-hiring during the pandemic - it would not surprise me at all to see them also re-pivot away from the metaverse too (couching it as some sort of "focusing on efficiency" or whatever, i.e. continue working on FB, instagram and whatsapp core features)

Somehow reminds me of large language models. If they will be trained on data after the release of, say, GPT-3, they'll probably be trained on outputs of that model.
> Are you saying that's the case for the cars and loads we have today? Or, are you saying we have enough for a full transition to EV's?

Pretty much yes to the second, or at least from reading several interviews with heads of utilities it's not EVs that they're worried about, it's the massively exploding amount of energy being used for AC as things have heated up and are expected to continue to as that can eat away at the capacity during otherwise lulls.

I think scheduling should also have a massive disclaimer on it that it's not about static schedules, it's about the grid being able to dynamically tell the chargers when to charge or not, and with enough of those EVs can actually help the grid because instead of spinning up powerplants and burning fuel (and money) in anticipation of peaks they can ramp them up and actually use the electricity and easily & safely shed load as peak picks up.

If utilities don't act on getting the ability to dynamically tell chargers when to charge and expand their programs to help get people to think of houses as thermal batteries to manage peak then no there isn't enough, but those are things that utilities have been pretty actively working on, it's just not as visible as new powerplants. It'd also help if dealer salespeople were more familiar with some of this stuff as mine didn't really know much and I ended up sending him a bunch of stuff about the local utilities programs so he can hopefully tell future buyers (it's mostly stuff like setting up charging schedules (they've only rolled out the dynamic charge scheduling for a small test group so far so currently only static) that they then give discounts for a few months)

Other random notes that came into my head as I was writing:
* Most smart chargers already support a standard that allows utilities to do this, so it isn't a case of once utilities get around to it everyone needs to upgrade their chargers, they should just be able to just authenticate.

* to make sure it's clear I'm not suggesting they should say "You can't charge during these periods", but should be offering discounts for not doing so and allowing simple overrides at the charger.

* I'm also super excited to see what happens with vehicle to load in the coming years as I think that could be a massive boon to grid stability (similar to tesla's virtual power plant program but I expect magnitude more EVs than home battery systems)

I questioned the Dalai Llama story as a possible CCP deep fake. Considering what they already did with doctored photos of Australian soldiers a year or so back.
I'm curious if anyone has a similar story but running Linux instead of macOS? I have a DIY AMD 5600X system (128 GB RAM, two M.2 drives) that is fast but warm. In the summer it can be uncomfortable in my upstairs office, despite A/C. I could be tempted into trying an ARM workstation if I thought it would make a big difference on heat.

I don't really do gaming, except occasional Minecraft with the kids. My GPU is a 10+ years old GeForce GTX 560, and it seems fine. (But maybe that only works with x64? I don't know.)

I've already had a taste of Apple's ARM speeds with my M1 Macbook Air. Running `make clean && make` on Postgres is practically instant. I don't understand what's going on there to make it so fast. But for my daily work I'd rather be in Xubuntu. Is anyone out there doing something similar?

Not until modern app sandboxing is the default. Your weather app shouldn’t be able to access your microphone or photos (for example) until the OS asks you to allow it access always, once, or never. People are making good progress on this, but you don’t get it with a default Ubuntu or Debian install yet.

An equal share of men and women are single (31%), but among 18-29 year olds, 51% of men are single, while only 32% of women are. What gives? People don't necessarily partner with people in their age group (e.g. a 27 yo woman partnered with a 31 yo man), but that's not enough to explain the gap, is it?
Think of all the content marketing this excludes though!
/b/, /vg/, /v/, /pol/ and sometimes /g/ all have strong alt right representation. (actually /g/ is still much more libertarian but you get some bleed in here and there).

Even /sci/ has changed. You have race IQ intelligence threads all the time compared to 2011. Instead of the daily Putnam problem thread, you get that garbage.

NYT is pretty on the money here.

If this were 2010, I'd disagree with them, but not nowadays.

disclaimer of my own bias: I stopped using 4chan in 2012 because of how much of an alt right mess it became after /r9k/. Didn't have the words to describe it back then. I remember people making endless Dragon Age memes in the pinned thread in /v/ in response to the mass shooting by a particular Anders in 2011. They were celebrating it, and it was the most active live thread on the site in that moment.

> So what?

Because my original response that this conversation in a part of was to the comment:

> I cannot imagine the kind of person who has kids knowing there were good odds they'd have to abandon them for much of their childhood.

I think that's highly unimaginative and can reduces someone to caricature.

> But are you claiming there's something that could justify that level of disregard for the wellbeing of children?

First: Justify to whom? Who sets the criteria for what is a good enough justification? Your language on this rankles a bit. Especially because...

Second: Holmes children have a father of means, they have much higher odds of being well cared and achieving good life outcomes than most American children. And they'll have an opportunity for at least some relationship with their mother. You act like having a mother in jail is some sort of damnable curse that has been placed on this children.
I'd actually assume it should be more "everything will be fine." You specifically broadcast the reaction you want to get from folks. Someone down thread posted the video to the nocebo effect. It really is far more effective than makes sense.

Problems are legion, of course. Is it something inherent to the people that are impacted by this? Would make some psychotic disorders interesting evolutionary defenses.

And, of course, there is no reason this has to be limited to medical behaviors. Teaching and coaching can be more effective for some people, if you tell them what you are doing is going to be effective. This actually tracks remarkably well with how so many advocates for different techniques all lead with usually over the top assertions on how what they are doing will work. Often more so than on why it would work.
It's pretty simple...

- HN is a forum for all things SV/tech/startup-focused.

- Twitter is one of the largest successes, and by far one of the most dominant players, within that industry. It has been the subject of many passionate debates here.

- Elon Musk is one of the most prominent figures within the SV/tech/startup scene, via Tesla/SpaceX. He has also been the subject of many passionate debates here.

- Musk (subject of said passionate debates) purchased Twitter (other subject of passionate debates). At this point it should be clear that combining these two subjects may lead to a bit of a powder keg when it comes to online conversation. But wait...

- Musk insists on becoming a controversial figurehead. He's now, agree with him or not, certainly trolling the public at large with this, and has fundamentally shifted not only how Twitter operates, but also the way that many, many people view Twitter.

- Cue present discussion.
