> I even tried playing the 'I have another offer elsewhere' lie card, with nothing to show for it.

You probably should've actually gotten an offer elsewhere, maybe even had it in hand and quoted the number for them to meet/exceed. Not actually having one can backfire. It's really an ultimatum, and one you should probably follow through on if called. Maybe it's not a factor in your case, but this can result in souring a relationship with your employer.

I hope this is good news for those who have been saving a down payment for their first home. I wanted to buy as early as 2018 but it seemed low interest rates meant much of the middle class could afford a huge loan, so everyone made over the top offers and bought all the stock.

I've been patiently putting money away hoping interest rates would go up so I could have more homes to choose from, then wait for rates to come down and refinance.
The regular prompt gives "pancetta, guanciale, or bacon". If I prompt for "traditional Italian" bacon is omotted and either guanciale or pancetta is suggested. If I ask for "European measurements" it suggests 350gr of pasta for 4 persons which seems reasonable.

Ahahaha as an Italian that made me laugh! Anyway I wonder if it would better to ask ChatGPT to give the recipe in Italian (so it pulls memories from the Italian blogosphere corpus) and then translate it to English (or your language of choice)
I would say Philly is famous for it's food generally. Philly is one of the best places in the northeast to get high quality food at reasonable prices. Especially sandwiches.

Speaking strictly for myself, it's like a game day thing, but when I was younger it was up to twice a week. If you get full you can eat half and stick the other half in the fridge. Now a days if I'm doing a steak later in the day, it means I'm skipping a meal beforehand. I'll also ask them to add vegetables so it makes you feel full faster.

The big differentiator isn't really the calories but the cost. Like other Philly food, it's very affordable for not being fast food. It also gets cheaper if you order it in batches for parties, and it keeps super well so there are always leftovers. Because of this you just see it around Philly a lot.
"Hopes to grow" revenues. Current estimates put hardware costs alone at $700k/day, so even if they hit $300M in 2023 that won't make them profitable. This isn't even counting the people costs and other operation costs required to run a company.

edit: order of magnitude was wrong on costs per day.
> What an insane dependency tree, that driving a truck in a field to plant some seeds requires a computer operating in space.

Well, what if I told you that, if GPS failed, many other (stationary!) operations would be impacted? Including financial.

We rely on space computers for more than position, we also rely on them for accurate timekeeping. If you are connected to the internet you can get time corrections that way, but there's plenty of devices that are gathering time data from space.

Now, the issue here is not so much that they are using satellites, is that they are _only_ using satellites (and, it would seem, they are using them for the entire time they are operating). Land-based stations around the field to provide location information could definitely be used instead. Or other mechanisms.

I don't know if tractors have inertial navigation units but, if not, maybe they should. That would at least allow them to operate after the initial fix was established (which doesn't even require GPS, just a well-known starting point). Basically, the same thing that airliners already do.

It is so fascinating that I can find "ottoman" keyword at least 6 times on this thread even-though this smuggling had happened way before the ottomans concurred the Byzantine.
Right, but that's an 'effect', not a 'cause'.
One can imagine planting a few posts at the corners of a field with a few dollars worth of radio equipment each, and getting higher resolution without relying on satellite.

Reading other comments here, it seems that these exist, in tandem with GPS, to get absolute positioning. But I don't see why absolute positioning would be needed; relative positioning should suffice.
Base GPT-4 was highly calibrated. read open ai's technical paper.

I don’t think that will happen.

In this comment 'dang explains his thoughts about keeping HN as a “non-siloed” site:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27608856
I mean, if it were some super unique thing, then sure I think there might be a some reason to suggest he should open it up.

But nothing about the site is actually technically unique beyond the brand and its history. It means a LOT to OP sentimentally, but if this was doing some kind of amazing social good, someone could just go make a rails app for their CS degree's senior design class and we'd have a functional replacement back.

So, I think OP's decision to bury it makes a lot of sense. It's a very human decision and it doesn't really hurt anyone by him making it, and if you want to be super utilitarian about it, it's probably better to let them peacefully close this chapter and move on to whatever next interesting thing they're going to do rather than sour them on it and have them do their next thing more privately.
I love your moxie Zach. Brave is in this space and it is changing but will take a long time.

The centralization, and I'd argue way over centralized, of the web has hurt innovation in the advertisement and marketing space.

That’s a good point. I forgot about Copilot.
The summary of many comments so far seems to be: "I don't believe this is what actually happened when this warrant was executed in Sweden, because it doesn't sound like something that would happen when a warrant is executed in the US."
> In the end, I found a position on the software team with a company bringing up new silicon for accelerating deep learning inference.

I've done a bit of this and adjacent things in the past... any idea if they're still hiring?

> I took about a 50% pay cut from my last position

Yeah, it's crazy. Hardware adjacent work is quite technically challenging, but tends to not pay well. You've gotta know hardware and software but the pay does not reflect this. Similar for embedded work.
A promising treatment for what?

IF you dont know what long covid looks like and how it acts, you can never claim to treat it.
But binning is largely binning against performance curves: "we doped this side of the wafer just a little too much and it's a little slow, but this one from the other side is just right" - while checking for faults (full chip scan and other manufacturing tests) result in dies being thrown out.
> You can just work directly with infinitesimal values on a sound theoretical footing. This goes under the name "nonstandard analysis". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonstandard_analysis

This is an oversimplification. Nonstandard analysis, the hyperreals, are one way of adding in infinitesimals to the reals, and definitely not the one I'd recommend for all use cases (although going from context, they may be appropriate here).

There are plenty of ways to make a number system that add in infinitesimals to the reals, such as yes the hyperreals, and also I'd count the dual numbers among them, but there's also e.g. the surreal numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number

So, why am I kind of down on the hyperreals? Well, thing is, as I understand it, nonstandard analysis isn't really the study of the hyperreals; it's the use of the hyperreals to study the reals. I mentioned above that one big use of passing to a larger number system is that it reflects on the smaller number system; however, as best I can tell, the hyperreals are pretty much used purely in this way. They're used pretty much entirely as a tool for proving statements about the real numbers, rather than an object of study in their own right.

And there's a reason for that; people often talk about "the" hyperreals, but actually, they're not uniquely defined. There's not really the system of hyperreal numbers, so much as there are potentially different systems of hyperreal numbers, which is annoying, but not if you only want to use them as a tool to study the reals, because their (relevant) relation to the reals is all the same. It's a bit icky.

So yeah if you want to do analysis or calculus -- which might be the case, given that the earlier context was dual numbers, and that's what one would typically use dual numbers or -- then sure, use hyperreals. But if you just want to play around with a nifty number system that includes both reals and infinitesimals... eh, they're not great. You're likely to have more fun with the surreals.

(More generally, of course, it's worth remembering that there's no need to stick to well-known systems of numbers... you can invent your own! Like, if for some reason you need infinitesimals, but you don't want them to square to zero like in the dual numbers, but you also don't want all the stuff that's in the hyperreals or surreals, there's nothing wrong with using R[ε] (or R(ε), or other variants depending on exactly what you're doing) to get a sort of minimal reals-with-infinitesimals...)

[Edit: Is there no way to do bold anymore? Those R's in the above paragraph were supposed to be bold, to indicate the real numbers...]

I am an Old. Pre-ads, before the <img> tag made someone out there think banners (and then animated banners, and then Flash, and then flash ads at the side of dancing silhouettes that sent your CPU fans whirring), this was still Someone Else's Hardware. Typically a university.

Hi Simon, your blog posts have been invaluable in my ongoing process of refining a document that covers major concepts in prompt engineering and LLM fine-tuning and I'd love to pick your brain over email or a call if you have any bandwidth!
Well I got online around 98ish so I've been around for a while and seen close to around 25 years worth of development, which I'd say is the majority of the webs lifespan.

And I re-iterate, whatever and however many sites there were knocking around on the early internet pale in comparison to the breadth of sites and information that came onto the web fueled by ads when people realised they could fund their hobbies and write about topics they loved at the same time.

It's really very simple, if you can literally get paid to write on your website, you will write more. You will hire people to write with you. This is common sense and it will vastly outpace the output of the contingent who simply wish to write for the sake of it.

Ads supercharged the webs development and I see nothing that could've replaced them, I say that as someone who's never been involved in the ad industry.
In cars that only have rear motors, unless you apply the brakes (or they have some blended braking setup) then ALL regen is via the rear motor.

Obviously, front brakes are capable of more braking, but the limit at the end of the day is the regen of the battery itself and how much the inverter can handle regen. RWD-only EVs are already capable of ~75kW of regen. Moving to FWD to try to gain regen is only marginally going to give you better efficiency, if anything. It only matters for harder braking.
According to this 2018 article most delivery pizza boxes don’t have PFAS to start with: https://toxicfreefuture.org/blog/pfass-popcorn-bags-pizza-bo...

On the other hand they do have a host of other potentially dangerous additives, dyes, preservatives, especially if you’re not in a place with strong regulations like the EU.

Contrary to what this board, or industry legends might suggest sometimes, we didn’t all just open up a laptop one day and know how to code a complex system.
> This has frustrated me about Discord already.

The little kludges that various Discord communities implement to best try to address this is an interesting and frustrating little ecosystem of its own.

You have a gamut of solutions from "use search next time or you're banned" to "check the FAQ channel where moderators pin pertinent comments" to bots that look for keywords and automatically reply with the fix for a given issue (often a link to the pinned comment)
Honestly, I don't care. I'm not saying you're wrong. I just don't flipping care.

Your justification is in no way a response to my preference. I don't want to celebrate people who work in this field as a form of entertainment.

I guess? But you wouldn't say a recovering anorexic that relapsed has a "weight gain relapse"?

Or someone with cancer having it reoccur as a "tumour free relapse"?
My favorite part was, "As an AI language model, I can imagine..."

Think about that, and what it means. Is it just a conversational convention? Because it seems like much more - self-awareness, claiming imagination. Using the word 'I' is startling.

Anyway, fun.
Again. Missing big fat disclaimer. "Correlation does not imply causation". It is wrong to jump from "Weight loss relapse associated with exposure to perfluoroalkylate substances" to "Obesogenic PFASs may cause weight gain and thus contribute to the obesity pandemic".

Here, the word "may" is correct but it should really be "we just don't know, it is possible". But "obesogenic" suggest that the link has been proven which it has not.

I am not defending PFAS. But our history is full of missed opportunities and billions of people doing stupid shit for decades because somebody jumped to conclusions to fast. We have still not eradicated notion that fats are all wrong and need to be removed from the diet where it is exactly the opposite -- it is very likely that removal of fats from the diet is responsible for the large part of obesity epidemic. Right after people believing you need to eat multiple meals a day to be healthy.

It is important to keep focus on stuff that we already know is detrimental to our health and these are excessive amounts of carbohydrates (filling the void when fats were removed from the diet), refined sugars and reduced time between meals not allowing people to exercise their lipid transport in reverse.

I'm a little too lazy to read the article (I'm not super interested, and I'm sure experts are solving the problem as we speak) but I'm curious about "gentle degradation" or "fail-safe" modes: If the satellite/location correction data is not available, does the positioning just get worse by (I think I read) 4%, or did they not anticipate this type of failure and the equipment is actually stuck and useless?
> This isn't "sloppy language", it's just wrong.

Yes, no less than four people before you have explained what's wrong with my comment. I made the "sloppy language" edit before I fully understood them.

> Don't try to downplay spreading misinformation.

> Also misinformation.

LMAO. Every incorrect thing you see on the internet isn't the work of a Russian troll or whatever you're trying to accuse me of here. Sometimes people are just mistaken. Your comment actually has some interesting points that could add to the discussion, but it's ruined by the impotent nerd rage.
>That's my point. Make the wrong correction in RWD car and you end up oversteering beyond 90 degrees in an unrecoverable spin. The failure modes of FWD understeer in the snow are all recoverable.

You're making one of those textbook correct but reality wrong statements that clipboard warriors love.

Sure, you can recover from under-steer but if you're already doing the wrong thing and pointing the wheel where you want the car to go you almost certainly won't.

With over-steer if you do the "natural" thing and steer the wheels toward where you want the car to point at least you have a chance. Sure many people might flub it but that's a heck of a lot better than the "no chance" you get if you react the same way to under-steer. Also, if you do over-correct the over-correction may very well not be as severe as the initial over-steer giving you a better chance to get it right the second time.

Sure, under-steer is theoretically recoverable and with over-steer you can theoretically spin or slide backwards but in reality in "on the street" situations (i.e. not what you see someone doing on an old taxiway in a training video) 99.9% of the time you'll have hit something long before either happens.

Edit: Since I'm apparently so wrong anyone care to explain? Or is it just "sideways bad because smart man with vest and clipboard say so".

My curiosity has nothing to do with running existing C code. The reference to Raspberry Pi should have made that obvious, I think. The idea would be to have something to play with as a hobbyist. Something to develop new compilers for to see what you can build and if what you can build is fun/interesting, even if it doesn't have commercial aspirations or "productive" uses and is only ever a "toy". You know, hobbyist fun.

Raptor2 also is being upgraded with things like electric gimbaling vs hydraulics. I think that was a hydraulic unit at the bottom of super heavy that exploded a few sec after lift off. So... electric gimbaling it is then. ;)
I have servers that I don't want to run 24/7 but I still need to access them from time to time. My current solution was to schedule shutdown of all the servers between 12am - 6am (usingcron) and start them up at 6am (using BIOS scheduled power-on), to save on electricity cost since no one uses them during those hours. However, this is much elegant solution.
Anecdotally, Bard is much better at guiding the responses than chatGPT. They're slowly releasing more and more "features" as they feel comfortable. You can see what they're up to with the TestAI kitchen app.

I kinda liked how open chatGPT was before the heavy filtering, but I see why we need to reign in chaos overall.

I think they would have preferred to negotiate.
I think a lot of people are like you described (say 5 per cent), but not many dare to admit, fearing of coming across too boring or greedy or whatever.

I think being content with what you have and what you buy, the fulfillment of fixing things has much more value than fancy stuff that is fancy today but gets outdated quickly.

Also "experiencing things" seems overrated these days. As if scratching things off a bucket list has lots of value.
It seems like you're just kind of arguing that every culture everywhere at all times was the most awesome culture ever and had the most awesome scientific achievements and saying that relative comparisons are possible is uncouth

As someone who's been at Google Research ~5y, this nails is it 100%.

I was at the non-Brain part of Research and it was seen as Google Brain is the "cool", pure research one, dealing with some future abstract AI and not caring for the products, feasibility, or even if the research "could" be made practical any day.

Deepmind was an "extreme" version of it, with some animosities and politics between the two, which I didn't follow too closely.
There were attempts at making Deepmind useful, called "Deepmind for Google", but the people there were... clueless. Though one really cool thing came out of it (XManager).

(I was at a closer to the product part, "Perception", which I loved. And still got to publish, explore, pursue my own research goals, etc.)

> I’m sure they benefitted from various forms of government support

…like paying for all the vaccines ahead of time, without any guarantee they worked, and the decades of government-sponsored research that made them possible in the first place? The drug companies were not in anyway “heroes,” but net beneficiaries of the enclosure of public research, which, combined with decades of bribing politicians to prevent state manufacturing capacity and enforce bogus IP restrictions, has resulted in wildly inequitable global vaccine access and countless, unnecessary deaths across the world.
