> Why do so many tech companies think they have a right o issue decisions to employees, contractors, or customers without communicating context? Lack of contextual information seems to account for a large proportion of tech grievances discussed on HN.

Because they're extraordinarily self-centered and irresponsible. Issuing decisions without context is cheaper (e.g. the can use an insane algorithm without human backup), makes them harder to challenge, and insulates them from legal liability (because it's hard to know if they were improper).

IIRC, Google's about to get slapped by the courts because even its top executives were willfully avoiding legal record-keeping requirements around their decisionmaking.
Netflix should have it own set of AS. And after that it's quite simple, routers can do throttle for decades.
I agree land use is not a major consideration here. But what about base load? You cannot guarantee proper weather and we currently don't have anywhere near battery capacity to store energy from renewable sources for a meaningful amount of time. So ultimately yes, you are faced with a choice between hydro, coal/gas and nuclear for that.
Will we be ever able to determine if LLM had peaked or not, or that it’s getting better or worse? Is there a way to tell? I mean throwing random sentences at it and try to determine that it responded right to it can’t be the way forward? And for what applications can it be trusted to do as if it just suddenly just decides to answer incredibly wrong?
Isn't English (and other Germanic languages) very similar in its propensity for noun+noun compounds? There is crab meat, horse meat, shark meat, etc. And if it weren't for the Norman Conquest, pork would probably be called pig meat. After all, it is simply called Schweinefleisch in German.
You normally get one. But I have learned I keep 2-3days of clothes in a carry on because of lost luggage. I also now toss airtags in my luggage. Probably useless, not like the airline is gonna care.

Generally though, I just hate flying and try to avoid it.
It feels like they are being intentionally misleading with "drink"

My understanding is that the water is cycled for cooling, so you need it once and it does not disappear, rather gets reused.
To be fair, it also had lots of dedicated 2D and 3D graphics hardware.
Not very often. Music is mostly licensed through ASCAP/BMI. The musician, if signed to a label, has no choice in the matter

“They don’t have my permission to use my music!”

They didn’t need it, you’re getting paid, shut up and be the whore like the contract you signed says you are.
Carlton City Hotel Singapore, I arrived there in the middle of the night with a printout from booking.com of my (already-paid-for) reservation.

The staff said they don't have my reservation, told them to check booking.com, they replied they do not have access to booking.com, a third party manages that for them which was unavailable at night. In that moment I realized I was putting way too much trust in that website. I was able to pay for a new reservation and later got the booking.com payment refunded. Luckily the hotel was not fully booked...
Mark Twain's two-week stint as a Confederate soldier
Ah, that's not what I mean by ontologically disconnected. I just mean that since consciousness is not defined, we don't know for sure that it's a purely physical process. I certainly think so, but the argument I was making can't prove it is or isn't, so it's not an argument that can touch consciousness by itself, because you need an additional assumption to bridge from known physical processes into consciousness that isn't in the argument I presented. In other words even after accepting my argument a skeptic could hold the position that it's ontologically disconnected, so at the level of my argument it remains so.

To be even clearer, I just meant that my argument is not sufficient to prove that consciousness can be simulated because I didn't make a good argument for consciousness to be in the category of physical processes in that comment, hence, an ontological disconnection.

I personally have the position that they are in the same category, I just meant that my comment above wasn't sufficient to substantiate that claim.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.
There are a lot in the new trademark policy that discourage using the word Rust in any possible way that is not explicitly mentioned as permitted. But you are right, stating "written in Rust" is explicitly mentioned as permitted.

4.1.3 Statements about compatibility, interoperability or derivation

You may use the Word Marks, but not the Logos, to truthfully describe the relationship between your software and ours. Our Marks should be used after a verb or preposition that describes the relationship between your software and ours. So you may say, for example, "the Dungeness tool for the Rust compiler" but may not say "the Dungeness Rust compiler," which suggests that Dungeness is the source of the Rust compiler. Some other examples that may work for you are:

[Your software] is written in the Rust language
[Your software] can compile software written in Rust
[Your software] can be used in the Rust compiler toolchain
[Your software] is based on the official Rust compiler

I'm curious where you live and what provider does this weird Netflix reselling practice.
Disrupting Li-ion has to do with disrupting the high energy density + high power + high round trip efficiency use cases that it currently dominates. Much of these are existing use cases, like personal electronics and cars. The leading horse there is sodium ion last I checked.

But there are many emerging energy storage use cases for which lithium ion was never a real contender.

Trading off those constraints gets you options like cheap long term energy storage (metal air batteries, flow batteries, heat batteries), or batteries for lower performance vehicles or stationary storage (lithium iron phosphate).
In my experience founders are often more than happy to toe the line between nudges and shoves.
Have you tried Bing+ChatGPT?
Except that search on YouTube is also a terrible experience. You get maybe 10 videos related to the query, then just a flood of completely unrelated stuff. You used to be able to scroll down far enough to get more results, but I'm not sure that even works anymore.

Just tried with "Keto garlic noodles recipe" (something I've been playing with recently). 1 result, then shorts, 2 more results, then MORE shorts, then more results that have mixed relevancy. Oh yup and a pro-sugar anti-keto propaganda video mixed in because, why not.

Scroll down a bit more and yup, more shorts section. Keep scrolling and now YouTube is just injecting short videos in the results feed like normal videos instead of the horizontal short sections like higher up.

YouTube search is f-ing broken. Sorry for the language.

This is a slap on the back for... no real reason.

Sure the USA has led in some quarters, but that's more to do with the close of the second world war where European invented technologies (and the brightest creators) were confiscated (from Allies and Enemies). That head start encouraged more external talent to congregate.

I have no problem with that, but this idea that it's "Labour laws" or any magic is about as compelling an argument as "Twitter or Facebook are providing their networks with the best experience and that's why they're so big"

You can also see that China is currently getting on par and ahead in some areas, and that's also because they are taking knowledge (for free) from outside (mostly the USA). And they have terrible Labour laws.
(Author here) that's what I thought originally, but then it means that LLMs never get to learn from new content - current ones stop in 2021, they don't know that Russia invades Ukraine, or that Arc is a cool browser or the API of any libraries released after their end date (which has been an issue for me for code generation using fast moving libraries). I don't think it's good enough to stop acquiring new content.
Floating point doesn't really matter much here. Even at the time, you'd typically use integer fixed point math unless you were micro optimizing for the different execution ports of the CPUs you were targeting and didn't want the float pipes to sit idle.

Yeah those tiles are clearly the weakest link in the whole Starship ecosystem. The shuttle was built on the idea those tiles could be inspected and replaced within days. It ended up taking half a year.

It’s a default everywhere. Usually I’ll go to chatgpt as a 2nd option when google sucks at answering something. Chatgpt is still pretty unreliable for specifics (especially things that involve numbers like dates or statistics).
Yes, in many programming language ecosystems (including Rust), it is very common to use the language of the programming name in project names, library names, domain names, meeting names etc.

Suddenly saying this is not okay unless you get explicit approval beforehand is very unusual for an "open" programming language.
Mental Models Explained
Nearly all of the breathless doom mongering has been from one or two small environmental groups who opposed the plant from the start and who keep inventing objections to attempt to support their foregone conclusion. They use every possible opportunity to slow down progress irrespective of the merits of their complaints, and judges have rejected most of them.

For example, water use. Tesla has built a complete onsite water reclamation plant that will allow it to build twice as many cars using the same water allocation they are already granted.

Also “they are killing the forests!”. What is not said is that this so-called forest is actual one of many vast tree farms located throughout Germany which are planted with quick-growing monocultures of identical trees and harvested regularly. Tesla is planting an identical size plot of new trees elsewhere, and that effort was 62% complete as of May 2021

Maybe you misread or misunderstood (although maybe it makes no difference to you), but the specific issue is: the FSF won't link to the bug tracker (not can't) because of proprietary Javascript. The FSF has no absolute rejection of JS, they just are purist about the JS being free software.

And it wasn't a personal post by an "FSF guy", it's the stance of the whole FSF organization.

Yes, the battle is lost. Fighting an effectively lost battle isn't necessarily nuts, but criticizing it is quite understandable.
Ultra-long YouTube highlight videos are ruining sports – and I’m fine with that
> I'm curious about how much of that is self-sabotage.

They all came from top-10 departments, so there can't be that much self-sabotage, at least at the beginning.

> Attractive individuals are more likely to study at higher ranked PhD institutions and are more likely to be placed at higher-ranking academic institutions not only for their first job

I'm curious how their production differs as undergraduate students to merit the graduate placement, and as graduate students to merit the first job placement. Especially in the context of: > while it does not predict the number of papers an individual writes

I'm also curious about correlations with personality factors, since it's known that some personalities are more oriented toward positive appraisal from others (whether this is positive appraisal for looks, or for academic production).
As an European, I have to agree a lot with your vision. I might disagree a bit about the entrepreneurship if you also add in that category small business and self-employed people that does business outside manufacturing and tech, because there are a lot of those works very well and actually make a lot of families to progress economically.

I would make even another point here: At least in Spain, the figure of the "angel investor" or the "venture capitalist" is basically non-existent to normal people who had a good idea. AFAIK most of them only invest in real estate, and those that have some tech investments only invest in projects that are starting to give some benefits, are made by some known person, or have other important investors.

For those who could know more: If this isn't correct, please correct me. Also, I know this could be not applicable to the whole Europe, but I don't know at all how are business outside Spain.
I'm just a little sick of this getting trotted out as a factoid when it's patently ridiculous, like they never noticed it or that compensating for it in some way was impossible. There are actual unintentional mechanics like the Nagoya Shot, unexpected technical skills like the rainbow finish, or one of the earliest examples of RNG manipulation for UFO control, that are much more interesting to talk about.
Take the mismatch between solar/wind and demand. Take the Fourier transform of this mismatch. It has components at various frequencies. There are various storage technologies that are best for various frequencies: batteries for high frequences (diurnal or faster); maybe thermal storage for intermediate frequencies (days to weeks); maybe hydrogen for low frequencies (months, yearly, or even longer).

If you optimize the system with the right combination of solar/wind (which are typically somewhat anticorrelated, or at least somewhat independent), and various kinds of storage, you can generate an artificial steady output for not that much. See https://model.energy/ for a web site that generates cost optimal (under various cost assumptions and using historical weather data) solutions to this problem in various places.
I like my comment, and it was a good excuse to work with new tech, why poo poo on my comment?

Highly subjective comment. Art is not something that is either "good" or "not good". It can hold value to the creator intrinsically. Like a kids crayon scribbles.
I uploaded a couple of the Pokemon generations really quick as examples. I still need to go through and do quick fixes for double tails (the tails on Pokemon are not where they are on regular animals, apparently), watermarks, etc. and do a quick Img2Img on them.

I was not familiar with loader.c, so I did some digging[0]. It implements the Calculus of Constructions, which Coq is based upon, and generates all programs encoded lower than some value. The search is halting, though very long.

From the analysis[1] in the contest:

> {loader.c}, diagonalizes over the Huet-Coquand `calculus of constructions'.
This is a highly polymorphic lambda calculus such that every well-formed term in
the calculus is strongly normalizing; or, to put it another way, a relatively
powerful programming language which has the property that every well-formed
program in the language terminates. The program's main function is called D. … D
works approximately as follows: given an argument x, it iterates over all bit
strings with binary value less than or equal to x, and, if such a bit string
codes for a well-formed program (`term' in lambda-calculus language), it runs
the program (`strongly normalizes the term' in lambda-calculus language.) The
return value of D is then obtained by packaging together the return values of
all these programs. The program's return value is D@@5(99).

Longest flight spent more than two months in air
I have noticed a lot of folks will toss their overhead well forward of their seat. So by the time you get to the back there’s plenty of overhead but the folks in the front have to walk back AND wait for the entire plane to deboard to get their stuff.

It makes more sense when thinking of the deboarding logistics to go front to back to ensure those sitting in the front will have overhead space at their seat as intended.

Basically people ruined it.

Surely it would essentially saturate your fibre if there was net neutrality, unless you don't pay for full fibre speeds?
What is the internet anyway? Are there truth in advertising issues around selling internet access with excessive filtering?
Yes, I am. If it supports goggles, I will most likely buy it. And I did get a response from B&H to a question about it today, saying that many customers have indeed inquired about this capability but there is no information from DJI about it yet. Here's the exact statement from B&H:

"Unfortunately DJI has not provided further insight as to whether these two will be compatible. We hope they are, with a provided firmware update in some months, as customers have really desired another non-racing fpv headset."

For what that's worth...
None of that contradicts what I pointed out. He fled because he doesn't care about Ukraine. He now has his dream, pampered and anonymous somewhere in Russia. He never says a word.

Sure, Kleisli arrows `a -> m b` are generally best interpreted in a computational sense. But with something like `IO`, the actual objects `m b` are computations as well, and this intuition is not as broadly applicable.

I dont doubt Youtube search sucks, but, my point was kids love YouTube and that is how Google will perhaps stay relevant.

Unless they keep treating creators like trash and eventually a more creator friendly platform comes around that kids glom onto.
I was referring to how the communities of these languages typically frame the problem, so you need formal background to read the materials published on it. As you say, this is a major barrier. This is where Rust shines, in that they've framed the language in terms of how its used, developed accessible documentation, and steered away from delving into the theory behind it.
Ok, all evidence I can find is that the LLaMA model is not open source, and the article is just wrong. Software != model. If someone has evidence otherwise, please post.
Huh? When I search for "rv parks" san francisco [1], I get the two you mentioned as the top results, and another in South San Francisco as the third result. And then after that, the top web results are articles that list about a dozen more RV parks in the bay area. Are you seeing dramatically different results?

Leaving poo poo on things is a popular passtime for many dog people.
Part of it is the web in general kind of sucks in an overtly user hostile way.

But I think the main draw of Phind and similar alternatives isn't necessarily that it's that much better at getting the necessary information, it's just so much less annoying to use because it cuts out all the newsletter popovers, bait and switch blogspam, cookie consent popups, SEO dark patterns etc. You don't have to mentally filter out a bunch of nonsense.

Search engines are annoying. I say this as I spend time and effort developing one.
isn't that why it's good? You can't control infinite variables, the only ones here are A/B and you're keeping a subset of them as a control group?
One of my very first blog posts (on blogger IIRR) was about me searching for some info on MLK and finding the second or third link on Google (this would have been 2004/5?) - and only after reading it twice in confusion did I work out it was hosted by stormfront.org and basically was ... well emphasising possible plagiarism in phd and possible affairs. You know a mud slinging operation. I thought google could cleverly use attributes in anchor links like "Disapprove".

Anyway the point I am badly making is that I am pretty sure the educational value of his speech on say wikipedia outweighs the benefit of dragging some idiot remixing it to say rude things through the courts.

I think you may be disappointed. Every single time I've tried to use `_Generic`, I've found that it's more trouble than it's worth. They seem to have made it be useful for a very narrow case -- tgmath.h -- and not bothered to make it general enough to be applicable to a wide variety of things that you might like to use it with.

We do...? Google Global Cache [0] and Netflix Open Connect [1] are both the result of ISP partnerships wherein we deploy cache nodes in the ISP's datacenter to reduce network load and improve our users' viewing experience.

Whether a specific ISP chooses to partner with us or not (and the breadth of their deployment) depends on their willingness to sign the relevant contracts.

Yes, I am also surprised about the original author characterizing any message as helpful. I am pretty sure the "x rooms left" and similar messages can never be really trusted.

First of all hotels juggle between portals and selling locally. So they don't give all their rooms to a single portal and wait until they are sold. They add a couple of rooms to every portal and more once they are sold out. It has also happened to me (with booking.com) that a hotel had overbooked. Probably not intentionally, but they made a mistake in their juggling. Not a problem for me, they sent me to a more expensive room in a hotel 3 minutes away. So the numbers on booking.com cannot be reliable even without their direct fault.

Additionally I have the strong feeling booking.com are crooks. I would not trust their numbers and messages even if they got perfect information from the hotels. I have no proof for that, but unethical practices reported above and the questionable work conditions you hear about them seem to be in line with my suspicion.
I still hope we can revert that once we have complete, CPU-verified backtraces. As a linked list, frame pointers are still somewhat slow. Just copying the hardware address stack should be quite a bit faster, and more importantly, the CPU will enforce that the addresses are correct.
