But this coal is endorsed by Greenpeace so it's basically renewable energy.
I made this same move about a year ago. Went from an engineer manager (managing 20ish people) to a Solutions Engineer, and got the same pay (base salary was a dash higher, total comp was a dash lower because of the bonus structure I had been a manager at the time). It'll work itself out after one raise, so I'm not too worried. I enjoy this job a lot more than engineering all day or managing all day, it's been a great move.

What worked for me was I had industry-specific non-technical knowledge. I had come from managing an online virtual events software team and took a job at a WebRTC vendor. Since I had been on the CUSTOMER side before with another similar vendor, I knew exactly how their customers felt. Even though I didn't have direct experience selling the same product, the company I now worked at loved that I had experience on the buying side of it.

I recommend looking at some of the vendors you already work with, seeing which one interests you, and applying to work with them or at one of their competitors (e.g. if you work with AWS stuff, apply at AWS, GCP, and Azure). Make sure you LIKE THE PRODUCT and BELIEVE IN IT or else you'll have a tough time. It's unlike a "normal" software engineering job where you can have fun on just the tech and not necessarily care about the product, when you're helping on the sales side and don't believe in what you're helping to sell its WAY TOUGHER. I've "drank the kool-aid" on WebRTC and streaming video and have a lot of conviction when it comes to helping customers switch off from their other vendor to us.

Be picky and patient with interviewing for this. Even more so than a normal engineering role. Don't be afraid to reach out to companies you really dig even if they don't have an open role at the time. In my experience, the interview process for this kind of a role was a lot more "people/personality" heavy rather than just pure tech-heavy because they know they're putting you in front of customers. They don't mind if you don't know everything because you can always ask an engineer on the product team for help, but they do mind if you don't have above-average social skills. My presentation skills are excellent because I've taken some public speaking classes and do stand-up comedy 2-3 times a week for fun, which was also a big help.
Do you believe the possible threat of nuclear waste to future generations, considering our current waste management technologies, to be higher than the impact due to more CO2 generation by running electrical coal plants instead of nuclear ones? That seems a more relevant question to me.

There's no silver bullet, and pointing problems on one side only may help win arguments (maybe?) but is not so helpful when trying to find the "best" option. Which, in real life, usually means the less bad option. Warts everywhere...
You’re right. But for some types of learning it’s not necessary to have a teacher that’s always right. If GPT-4 feeds me hallucinations occasionally about JavaScript or Python, I will find out soon enough when my programs fail to run or when web searches fail to confirm what it says. Being able to ask it questions and get right answers almost all the time more than makes up for the occasional error.

Another example where GPT-4 can be used productively for learning despite its fallibility is with human languages. It doesn’t always explain grammar correctly, and it can spout out hallucinated facts. But its ability to interact almost as if it were a real person, as well as its ability to explain the meanings of words and sentences quite accurately (in the case of major languages, at least), is of enormous value for people learning other languages. Few human language teachers are as knowledgeable and accurate as it is.
Fancy. Apparently I am using foundation models since 2015 for batch processing.
TBH. This article is a bit light on details. I would have expected more from a post published on a Stanford site. Sounds more like a Business Insider article.
Thanks for the hint, there are also a couple of more expensive options, like https://www.getfyf.com/

Same principle, but with single toes.

And then there are them:

So far I have used none of them, but different Five Finger shoes extensivly. I can recommend the general principle much, if you enjoy barefeet running, but not cutting your feet open.

Auckland had the same thing with art and a fun party and music diy scene from the late 2000’s through early 2010’s. Extinguished by the property bubble by about 2015. Lots of fun at the time.

Bit of a wasteland now.
I do that in a way, I have no Google in my phone. But it gets increasingly difficult, more and more services you cannot buy without selling yourself to Google (or paying extra to be in Apple's walled garden).
CB delivered a truly potent and high-quality vibe-in-the-round. A fully featured artifact.

I thought it was super cool at the time because I had never before had radiant heat. German apartments were different in myriad ways from my experience of American housing.

I think America could learn a lot from other cultures about improving quality of life just in terms of housing practices.
But I associate everything you listed with the 90s...

Anyway, yes and no. Yes, create your own culture, but no I don't see much of that happening right now.
> So, if I remember correctly AMD PSP started out as a response to Intel ME, whose main selling point at the time was that businesses could remote into a compromised system and wipe malware without the malware being able to fight back.

Do you have a source for this?

> SGX is an interesting case since Intel actually axed the feature a year ago. The only thing it did was enable more DRM for 4K Blu-Rays, and Hollywood's response to that feature going away has been to just refuse to let you play 4K Blu-Rays on PCs.

Signal used Intel SGX for remote attestation of their servers and is also using it for their upcoming username/password features to generate keys without Signal's knowledge (since it's a private enclave).

> Furthermore, there IS a very large customer that has wanted to remove these kinds of secure enclaves from their systems: the US government, specifically the National Security Administration[1]. There's a special configuration option in Intel ME to turn off everything but basic system bring-up. Why would the NSA want to turn off "privacy and security software" on their own machines? Well, again, the whole "wipe a compromised system without the malware being able to resist" thing implies that this isn't merely a security enclave, but a backdoor that could be compromised by a third-party. If you aren't specifically using that remote management stuff, you want the ME to be as brain-dead as possible.

I need a source saying PSP has remote management capability.

> Oh, and Apple doesn't actually give the Secure Enclave the ability to mess with the main application processor. It's more akin to a TPM, where it can withhold encryption keys from the regular OS but it can't actively snoop on it. So they also understand why PSP/ME were bad ideas.

What does "snoop" mean here? How can PSP "snoop" without remote management capability?
Sounds like ESRI to me.
This all sounds cool in theory but I'd like to point out that NFTs have existed for quite a while now and so far none of these things have ever been implemented in any of the released games. Which makes me doubtful that people are interested in these kinds of solutions in the first place.
Greenpeace want a collection of energy policies to be implemented: demand reduction, renewable power generation, no nuclear power, no fossil fuel power.

[1] is their policy from 2010. It suggests more CHP, renewable electricity generation with demand peaks balanced with hydrogen storage, improved electric public transport, rail rather than road freight, etc.

I don't have time to read it now, it is 260 pages with lots of figures.

As an South American living in Germany for a while I learned in a hard way that this is a society that you need to extremely cynical and act defensively about those issues to have some peace of mind.

Due to the surge in the gas and electricity after some basic math, we decided to stay 2 months away during the Winter with our family in Finland. Basically we saved €400 plus we enjoyed a quite nice time together.

My next move will definitely look for a house with a fireplace.
Is the fear of nuclear really higher in Germany? Lots of places are wary of nuclear but Germany proactively shutting down all plants goes the furthest.
"Hell is other people."
You can have interoperable assets without using a blockchain at all.
That might protect them from their own generated content, but eventually other LLMs will catch up. Using some other undisclosed steganography they can't detect.
As far as I know, there are no theoretical reasons against room temperature and pressure superconductors. There is no theoretical barrier between liquid nitrogen temperature (where we have many superconductors at normal pressure) and room temperature (were we don't have, IIRC here are a few that are (not very) close, but require a high high high pressure).
A huge benefit of nuclear is the ability to generate a lot of base power to smooth out various external shocks.

In addition to the fact that Germany is running on coal, as others noted, German industry has been badly decimated by the energy price hikes since the war in Ukraine started.

And Germany without industry may not be particularly viable economically, which is not only a local problem, but hits the whole EU.
This is such a silly take.

Yeah, you can look at current blockbuster movies, and mostly see Marvel stuff, except that now there is a thing called "superhero fatigue" because it's not 2010 anymore.

In the meantime, the clothing has changed, the music has changed, the zeitgeist has changed, and new medias are Twitch, Tiktok and discord.
A TEE has nothing to do with any of that. A TEE is a CPU feature that generates a physically separate area of memory that no other process can access to protect sensitive data from even the OS (in case of compromise).
That's a point of view, not an argument nor a source.
Yes, so what added value do NFTs bring to the table after all?
1. Poe's law

2. Removing CO2 is basically 50% of the lungs job and they do it just fine.
Seeing how poorly my folks handle hygiene in kitchen, they are more likely to get infection by washing your chicken or straight up leaving uncovered leftovers for days...

If I offered you irradiated steak or tartare, would you eat it?
you may want to add, knowing how to read and support old code is important, fixing bugs and adding new feature to existing code base, most likely doing that in most job then building something new. could see what that like by doing this on a existing large opensource produce. Also, it's important to become comfortable with mathematics. I'm often surprised to find that many developers I meet either lack proficiency in this area or do not think it's necessary.
WizFile also works relatively well (and its companion WizTree is so much better than WinDirStat).
> we are now at the stage where "AI is moving too fast and we must pause it!!!"

I disagree. The problem isn't the technology, but that for once we have something that demands more deliberate use. LLMs directly confront the literacy gap between the most and least educated members of the public, and I really do mean that in all senses of the word "literacy".
This isn’t true at all, openshift is a conformant distro of k8s. You are not required to use any

"CYA" means "Cover Your Ass", which is used when you have lawyers/compliance people using vague and over-reaching language to "cover their ass", without anything meaningful behind it.

> Consent isn’t required for B2B data processing and cold contact as far as I know, like it is for consumer data.

From what I can tell, the way this company ingests data uses personal channels and lookups. So although a company would be using their services and they are b2b, the targets of those cold emails are getting their personal data ingested by a company they have no knowledge of, and they are for sure not made aware of it in those cold emails.

If those targets are exclusively employees of a company, their professional email is being targeted, and only their professional profiles are being scraped, I would bet it's defensible. I am certain it's not the case though.
That is a good method, too, of course. But I don’t always learn best by proceeding through material step-by-step. Often wandering around a subject as my curiosity takes me and using a lot of trial and error have enabled to me to assimilate knowledge better in the end. Even if GPT-4’s answers are sometimes wrong, being able to ask it questions is extremely useful.
it's 33% coal and 34% wind + solar in 2022 (https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2023/03...).
I believe you’re saying “I would be happier if I didn’t have information about other people’s opinions and lives.” That’s pretty easy to achieve. However, I don’t at all believe that is consistent with the original proposal.
> It's not the culture thats stuck, it's the media.

Movies, books and widely played music are all closed avenues for 99.9% of artists. There's no way you'd get any kind of distribution worth the effort to produce such a large artifact. The most creative writing I've seen in the past 15 years has all been done as a series of posts or articles. The best genre bending music all seems to fly under the radar of most people because it only gets hosted on SoundCloud, obscure YouTube channels, and sold on indie online commerce sites, the same for short films which seem to be exclusively on YouTube or social media sites. Everything has to be DTC now, due in large part to the increase in gatekeeping by some of the platforms I mentioned like YouTube. You won't just show up in someone's feed because you're a good match for their interests anymore, at least not unless you've heavily monetized and sanitized your content to be acceptable to ad sales. So instead it all has to work on the indie model where you build your community along with your art. You have to be your own PR, run your own Discord, build your following, host your own events, etc. It's a struggle and it means your reach is just as limited as it would have been pre-internet when you were trying to do the same in your city using flyers, gigs, and word of mouth.
> We are getting this statement a lot but still nobody can prove it.

Oh dude, take the hint maybe.

> Where in the GDPR or any similar law this is illegal?

You're handling the personal information of, I'm guessing, ~4-6 magnitudes of people who haven't agreed to your privacy policy and data handling practices. You're a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Ah yes, the monday morning little ritual: try to move down a dozen lines, maybe half a page, scroll a bit and realized I moved 3 pixels. Try again scrolling a bit faster and end up zooming by 3 pages. Repeat in the other direction. Use the scroll bar out of desperation after 3 failed attempts.

Gets a bit better once the coffee and the muscle memory kick in, but I really wish Apple would give some love to common old-fashioned rodents instead of letting their users having to rely on community-made apps to have a decent behavior for those. I'm probably not the only one using a laptop provided by an employer with fairly strict rules about the installation of "unnecessary" software.
That’s kind of the point though. You aren’t exposed to new things any more. When FM radio stations were a bigger part of the music poolrooms, for example, new artists would get
promoted by local stations, or new albums by established artists. I discovered the guitarist Eric Johnson because of Q102 in Dallas because of this, for example.

Now that discoverability vector is gone. Not that it was perfect in the first place: they were influenced by record company execs and internal politics, I’m sure. But it was something.

Another part of it seems to be that financial stresses are so high that people don’t have the freedom to pursue the new.
"That’s basically the claim of the “Blurry JPEG of the Web” article. I agree that to a large degree that’s probably what’s going on here."

I strongly disagree with that view, and encourage reading the "Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence" paper[1] and watching the associated video[2], then just experiment with GPT4 using novel information that has been created after its training data cutoff and you'll see it reason about it. It can also output novel creative works about things that didn't exist in its training data.

Sure, there's some "compression" going on in LLMs, but that's far from everything that's going on.

Roughly, Germany has two options at the moment. Those options are doubling down on nuclear power and stabilize their economy, or relying on other forms of energy as some kind of existential gamble. No matter what they choose, it will have a domino effect on EU countries.
But how will we ever monetize this!? /s
You can almost hear the champagne being opened in the FSB headquarters in Moscow.
Lack of ads, lack of SEO.
If the end user was "in control" of the PSP that'd defeat the purpose. These features are supposed to remain a secure enclave even if the machine is compromised.
Ask HN: Looking for business ideas for web photo editor
Hi. I've been working on a web photo editor for a while. It has 0 monthly users (nor testers, so there are bugs). As of now it has accurate implementations of many features known from photoshop and is in many regards more advanced than popular tools like e.g pixlr and more compatible to ps like e.g. affinity - both have functioning business models. Can you give some advice on what could be a working model for the app? Do you know anybody who would like to join in on the project? I am aware there is lots of competition in the field. I think all the brains that went into this (psd, adjustments, layer styles, ps asset formats .pat,.asl,.grd..., text engine) must be of some value. What do you think about releasing everything on github. It would hurt, but it dying on my harddisk would hurt more.

This is evocative of the efficiency against resilience balance mentioned in another front page article today:

https://blog.nelhage.com/post/efficiency-vs-resiliency/
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35586607

With this metaphor collections of long appreciated arts become foundational while the fringe which may develop new aesthetics efficiently meets the needs of the cultural fringe while not being resilient as long term broadly appreciated artistic works.
General phenomena like inflation (construction cost index rising) and interest rate (cost of capital) rises should affect all technologies proportionally.

The notable thing was that CCGT costs aren't rising to the same extent, despite broadly similar capital cost to utility scale PV (page 11). And longer construction time (pages 37 PV and 39 CCGT), which affects the risk premium.

I recall reading that there was a polysilicon shortage because of changes in China's energy policy. Not sure what's going on with wind. Nor why CCGT costs are continuing low.

They're probably referring to CentOS Stream being upstream of RHEL.
Indeed, you are correct! Is there an 'impartial' governing body that has examined these two alternatives and determined the advantages and disadvantages of each? Or is there any relevant literature that focuses on simulating/evaluating these options?
It is fast, I was previously using mathjax, and for a significant document I had to wait for a few seconds until the formulas were parsed and rendered. For the same document with katex, everything happens in less than a second.
I've discussed this before[0], dragonwriter has a good response explaining that this law is not automatically illegal just because it affects interstate commerce. I do hope you're right though, and that these laws are ruled unconstitutional. The Utah law is planned to take effect in early 2024. In addition to Utah, Arkansas has or will soon pass a very similar law. Then there is this article talking about Texas trying to regulate the internet by themselves.

But the things you listed are all quintessentially 90s. Sure they might still be around, or like zines had a bit of a revival recentlt6, but they're hardly novel or "counter cultural" in any way, unless you call gen-x nostalgia counter cultural?
That's what M$ does with Azure, is it not?
> Apple had the vision

Yep. They know what they want to build and make fewer compromises than Microsoft. If Microsoft had developed the iPhone, it would have launched on every carrier possible and to do that, they would have had to allow the carriers to junk up the phone and restrict all kinds of user features. Remember the days of $3 ringtones and carrier run app stores?

For all the problems we have with Apple and their products today, they did move us forward.

This reminds me of the flash sites
Coal-fired power in Germany declined right along with nuclear. The idea that nuclear was replaced with coal is false, and it's been debunked so much that anyone continuing to propagate the falsehood is deliberately lying.
The problem with Germany's coal is that it's mostly lignite, the lowest quality and dirtiest type of coal. At least the UK lucked out on having the best quality coal.
