Google liberally sprinkled "state sponsored" tags around not that long ago in an attempt to sow skepticism of international news sources.

I thought their new-found ans self-appointed journalistic authority hubris at best and, more likely, an act of state-sanctioned retaliation. Perhaps it was even pay to play, or a quid pro quo to show they were cabinet material.

If anyone gave Google flack for this, it was buried by their truth orthodoxy squads under the guise of "algorithms".
Then you would have to coordinate between everybody issuing IDs.

Of one option of course would be to provide different ID ranges to different issuing authorities (a la ip addresses).
Windows is my daily driver. I actually like the OS but Microsoft would do well to listen to these concerns being raised consistently. They need to ask some deep questions of themselves of what they want Windows to be.

This reminds me of the days where Ballmers goal seemed to be to lock everyone into Windows and MS products when the real upside turned out to be “make MS products fully available where people already are”. To me this brought about some great changes to their products on android, Mac, and iOS. Even the web versions of their products are actually really good.

I feel like windows is going through the same identity crisis that Ballmer took the MSFT brand through. Like what does it want to be? Is it an OS or an advertisement platform. Right now it’s trying to be both and that sucks. I hope that someone from very high up finally steps in at some point and clarifies the vision for windows and closes up all these crap avenues of revenue squeezing.
I don't think that's really accurate. We can reprocess most nuclear waste into forms that are far less long-term radioactive, and a few hundred years is nothing considering the lasting effects of pollution from coal and gas, or how long it would take for all those decommissioned solar panels or wind turbines.
Best of luck to you on your venture!
I mean, you can do that. that's what most normal people already do anyway. the bulk of audience on this website is not really "normal" though...
Time to market and avoiding NRE is great. Margin doesn't matter in the beginning.

But hopefully you don't get trapped in the cloud and can claw the margin back.
I can see MS implementing an Ad auction built into Windows. Each rectangle in the UI that can show ads receives bids from advertisers in real time. The latter get a direct link to user data, they can see who the users are, their names, ages, the programs their run, even their webcam feed. The auction will be poorly implenented, so often Windows would switch between two almost winners, resulting in annoying flickering of the ad. The big whales will get access to the VIP ad placement: the one that locks up your screen and shows a full screen ad for a minute.
Vicuna-13B in GPTQ 4bit has almost no perplexity/quality loss and fits in just 8GB of RAM or VRAM.

I run it on my phone CPU and get ~4 tokens per second. On my laptop CPU I get 8 tokens per second.

On a $200 P40 I run LLaMA-33B at 12 tokens per second in GPTQ 4bit. A consumer 3090 gets over 20 tokens per second for LLaMA-33B and 30 tokens/second for Vicuna-13B.

> I'm having trouble imagining how some TV could possibly be damaged by software

Modern OLEDs perform image manipulation to avoid burn-in. Your XDA Developers firmware is going to end up with your screen being garbage in a year.

Android firmware routinely allows processor overclocking, a great way to damage components in devices that have tight thermal requirements.

Those are two. Arguing that firmware can't damage the hardware that it controls shows a decided lack of imagination.
TiDB and CRDB handles all these scenarios. They are designed for synchronized distributed replication from the ground up and a tremendous amount of engineering work has gone into these systems.

Isn’t being friends with your neighbors a far more obvious answer to this? I thought that’s where this was going.

> Sometime during the pandemic lockdowns, I began to nurture a fantasy,” Adrienne Matei writes. “What if I were neighbors with all of my friends? Every day, as I took long walks through North Vancouver that were still nowhere near long enough to land me at a single pal’s doorstep, I would reflect on the potential joys of a physically closer network.

My family was close friends with our neighbors, because they were neighbors. Many of my friends were close with their neighbors. I imagine it was far more true in the 50s and 60s. It certainly was based off personal anecdotes I’ve heard from the let friends and relatives.

It was a city block in a small/medium sized city. Neighborhood picnics, barbecues, kids running around. Perhaps this breaks down with more urbanization.
Was really hard to get working for some reason - think I had it installed for ages without it actually doing anything.

> It may be my lack of discipline

This is where the article lost me. If it feels like a lack of discipline, it probably is.

By placing links in an article, the author asserts that those were intentional choices just as much as were any of the other writing decisions made while making the post. The same thing goes for decisions surrounding the theme of the blog and what DNS name the blog is found under. The author is presenting an idea; more or less effort can be put into this, but it will show if effort isn't put into it.

Not spending time on links is the equivalent of not spending time on citations, arguably one of the most important parts of an academic paper. It is almost as important a part of the writing as the writing itself.
Schwab is a little bit better for this:

3) ATM fee reimbursement is worldwide and no forex fees, can't remember anymore if Fidelity had both of these

I have about 50% luck with the js based pdf viewers just letting me edit pdfs now... I think it comes down to did the pdf creator actually put type areas in the form or did they expect you to have acrobat and just create new text boxes in the form areas. Oddly the IRS forms were really good with that this year.

I agree the dark patterns around PDFs and everyone putting a shareware version of a ope source program out is the worst.

Also a large % of the time open office works but hey that takes like 20 minutes to install.

The only thing I use acrobat for is it actually is quite solid for printing and doesn't seem to charge you for that.

> being friends with your neighbors a far more obvious answer to this

Being friends with neighbours prioritises the home by making social interactions subservient to it. Being neighbours with your friends prioritises those people by deprecating where you live to it. There isn't a single answer. But speaking as someone with many acquaintances, including very good ones, but a handful of close friends (and maybe a dozen or two, at most, friend friends), it's easier to change where you live than whom you love.
I am just back from a trip to Yokohama and was served steamed cabbage heart which had been put into a wooden steamer and cooked over a charcoal fire. It was both steamy-soft, and smokey and delicious to offset the yakitori.

I think cabbage is a universal in climates with a real winter: its hardy, it grows into the colder months if you let it, its viable for pickling and salting, and flatulance aside is great nourishment. Shame that kids hate it, but eh, the ones which survive fatten up fast on it, so there's protein latent in cabbage if you need it.

Cabbage in school meals in the 60s was indeed served in an ice-cream scoop puddle next to the mince and tatties (or haggis, being scotland)
> have you ever tried to get a group of 10 people, forget about thousands, to do something in a way that you think is "correct"?

Yes I have actually, several times.

It's not easy, and of course it gets exponentially harder as the group grow, but these folks also have access to exponentially greater resources and exponentially greater motivation to do so. (Assuming their desire is to remain loyal shareholders of the company for the long term)
sounds like a product of both the place and time.

and most importantly, the people.

you can try to make friends with neighbors, but you can’t make neighbors be friends.

it isn’t always such a positive combination.

but sometimes it is.
The paradox is that LOTs of people feel this way (me included), and lots of them would be willing to put some real effort into developing new friendships. Yet it still doesn't happen. Now, what could be behind that? (Not rhetorical, genuinely interested)
Yeah, this is probably right (It's been a long time since I've played with it)

Let me expand on squarefoot's answer.

When the Amiga launched in 1985 its hardware was unquestionably the state of the art in microcomputers. Macs didn't have color yet, and the best consumer PCs had 16-color EGA graphics and a beeper speaker (or 16-color Tandy graphics and 3-voice sound).

While Amiga stood still, IBM in 1987 introduced 256-color VGA, which the industry rapidly expanded to Super VGA with higher resolutions and more colors. By 1990, it was easy to buy a clone PC with Super VGA and sound card, both from a variety of third-party vendors and both exceeding Amiga's capabilities. While Amiga still had a theoretical advantage in terms of hardware sprites, in practice PC horsepower increased so quickly that its lack of same didn't matter.

To put another way, there is no way a single company with a relatively small customer base can compete against a gigantic ecosystem of many dozens of vendors, all battling to serve a customer base ten times as large by constantly lowering prices and improving capabilities.
Windows update has never been an issue for me, I think it's because I turn off my computer every night? It just happens itself and never bothers me. I understand other people won't be using their computers like me. You can still disable the Windows update service or use Group Policy I think.

It's an OS created for enterprise corporations to support and manage the actions of their employees in a digital world. First and foremost. Most MS products are.

The ad platform is MS trying to find ways to continue growing profits. :D
While I think that a lot of the "right to repair" and "right to tinker" folks dramatically over-estimate the value provided - just look at the complaints about self-repair of iPhones now that it's possible! - projects like the CHDK firmware for Canon cameras show that motivated communities can certainly do amazing things with devices.
13B in GPTQ 4bit has practically no quality loss and runs in 8GB. I get 8 tokens/second on my laptop CPU and 4 tokens/second on my phone CPU.

Even 33B only needs 20GB of VRAM in GPTQ 4bit.

8bit has zero perplexity loss, so there's really no reason to run in 16bit.

Even a $200 P40 24GB is enough to run 33B at extremely high speeds in GPTQ 4bit.
Its unclear if you are talking about yourself or making a general observation about people around you, but in case its the latter: I believe this to be very much subject to strong confirmation bias. You dont open up because you believe thats just not what people do. But I find that to be false 9/10 times I break through the fear and show genuine interest.

Safe spaces would include anywhere people that share a common interest gather, for me thats a climbing gym I go to regularly. Volunteering is also great in regards to meeting people that share similar values.
Are you out there putting in effort to find and make friends?
Chrome handles forms relatively well.

(no idea if it would have handled your form or not)
Access to friends is probably the biggest reason I prefer dense urban environments. There’s something magical about being able to step out your door and be within a 10-20 minute walk of close friends or family. It invites casual get togethers like Saturday afternoon coffee or an after work drink. Living an hour or two apart kills these opportunities.

I recall walking through Vienna one weeknight evening and being amazed how the Austrians would be gathered around tables just enjoying a drink and conversation. These in-person casual interactions are what life is made of. America’s car centric zoning policy and outright bans of denser types of housing makes this lifestyle all but impossible.
Do you find yourself not having much in common with your neighbors, not liking them, etc? A large part of friendship is some circumstance that puts you in the same time and place (school, work, sports, etc.). There must be some pretty big barrier if you can’t make friends with most of your neighbors.
This is a myth. Sweden violates its own laws and has kidnapped people and sent them to torture chambers in what is called extraordinary renditions. Swedes openly acknowledge this. Their rules apply selectively as is the case all over the world. Just some believe in the smokescreen.

Form creation is a front and center feature in Acrobat DC.

Like there's a form detector and a form editor and all that. You have to manually add javascript to those elements if you want it (well, there's an API, but you have to explicitly add the javascript).
Yeah, labor. The team needed to manage the variety of infrastructure required to provide the same functionality and availability as the various AWS services we use would have been well beyond prohibitively expensive.

I'm not quite sure of this, how do these controllers 'come up on their own' without any reliance on anything else?
> suppose if you could throw a switch and turn gravity on or off it would be a closer analogy

I mean, you could, insofar as you can mechanically control the height difference between the start and end of the maze.

I think the real problem with the analogy was just that the hydrodynamic version wasn't a circuit in the sense that the electrical version was. The water just falls out of the system, so of course you can't control the pressure difference :)

The exit of the hydrodynamic version should have been a (sealed) pipe that flows into an (open) buffer-chamber thatis after the maze; from which a pump operating on a control system then brings pumps water back to the (open) buffer-chamber that sits before the maze.

Additionally, said pump's speed should be determined by the water-level imbalance between the two buffer-chambers, such that it's always trying to bring the two chambers into water-pressure equilibrium. (This pump is then a proper hydrodynamic analogue of a generator: two terminals with a constant height [voltage] differential between them, that pumps faster or slower [= varies current] to maintain the same potential difference in the system, whether the system is loaded or unloaded.)

Then "turning off gravity" would just mean moving everything (the input buffer, maze, output buffer, and pump) from being in a vertically descending sequence (where the pump would be doing constant work to maintain the potential difference despite the "load"), to being on a flat plane (where everything would reach potential equilibrium, and the pump would then turn off.)

And you could then represent AC flow, by just alternatingly raising and lowering the two chambers, and using a bidirectional pump.
HN has worked that way for a long time.

The submission guidelines say:

> If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

...but what they don't tell you is that at some point, somebody decided it would be a good idea for the site to automatically remove numbers from titles, with no regard for whether they're "meaningful".
That sounds like a good rule of thumb to me.
vicuna was done with sharegpt transcripts, right? did they ever say if those transcripts were while users were using gpt3.5 or gpt4.0?
I have been talking to people in the construction/trades industry for a long, long time. I sell them stuff.

At least for the last w20 years I've been talking with them, owners cannot find employees. It's the biggest complaint that I hear.

I talk to construction company owners all the time and journeymen make $100,000+ per year. Not at all the companies, not the shitty owners, but if you look, you will find that money.

This is way better than an average university education in all but a few majors like computer science.

Not only that, but as you apprentice and learn the trade, you get paid, unlike university where you pay.

When I went to university, you could get any degree, it didn't matter, because tuition was $600 per year. Get an English degree or art degree. You could pay your tuition and books and fees working a summer job.

Now, if you go to university, anything other than a computer science degree is a waste of money and time, more or less. Most of the STEM field majors suck - you don't get squat for a biology degree or chemistry degree, or so I hear. Only computer science is a sure thing. Oh, there might be a few weird degrees you can make massive money in, like petrochemical engineering or whatever, but jobs are far and few between, and there's no a massive market for those type of degree, unlike computer science.
Only OpenAI and its CEO know the full details on GPT-4's sizes so that's entirely possible. But since it's an internal secret, there's nothing compelling him to tell the truth. For all we know, he has internal data backing up the opposite of the claim but is making this claim so as to discourage potential competitors from spending the money training an even bigger and competitive ML model. Sending potential competitors off on a wide goose chase that, when pushed, he can just say "oh our internal data (that no one outside of a trusted few have seen) said otherwise". I have no idea if sama is such a person, but you must admit that the possibility exists.
I had some coworkers that did this. They (husband and wife) lived on a farm with iffy power and internet so they eventually bought a house in some nearby suburbs mostly to work from.
Google is losing its competitive advantage in the search space. DDG and Bing are very strong competitors for the typical web search usecase.

External forces of economic and technical nature are not in their favor. Internal forces from politics, leadership and management issues are surfacing.

This does not sound good for Google. Almost like it will implode.
Cause we have an economy that has atomized everyone to where you have to fight for your own survival - constantly.

I'd love having some of my friends be my neighbors. But I had to move cross country just to find a partner because living in Silicon Valley was going to leave me an incel. (No surprise - I leave and I've had far more partners than I ever did in SV) I'll move back eventually with a partner in tow but the same issues will arise.

My professor friends can't afford a $2-3m house. My friends who work as nanny, acoustics engineer, events manager, local government staff, IT at local school, etc. also cannot afford the suburb I would be living in where the average home is $2.5m. They instead leave the area, live in apartments, or live with their parents. The few who are still in these professions but aren't shackled by these issues are over 50 years old and come from old money. (We're not particularly close)

Now, I'm in NYC and shockingly - I have quite a few friends who aren't too far away (some are only 2-3 blocks!) but we are all painfully similar. We work in high paid jobs, we're single men, and we have similar interests. It's not the worst thing but I'm getting a very homogenous group of friends while living here.
I'd say "a dozen or two" is a very high number. Enjoy and value your luck!
