The bottom line is that humans "hallucinate" (or just plain make mistakes) also -- and, contrary to what the other commenter says, aren't always aware of doing so (nor are they always honest about this fact). Especially when doing stuff on a repetitive basis, for minimum (or barely higher) wages.

In particular it has been established that MTurk-like workers (unless you hire bonafide "elite", expert-level ones, which in general doesn't scale) make lots of and lots of mistakes. It's just a question of what your acceptable noise level is to turn a dollar on whatever task needs to be done. So if for the "dumb" 80 percent of use cases for which a GPT-like system can outperform an average MTurk, on flat, accuracy-per-dollar-spent terms -- that's what the route that most businesses will ultimately take.

Am just guessing on the "80 percent" of course, but from all that's been published in recent months (and putting my finger to the wind) -- that's where these systems seem to be heading.
More like 2x. Apple for instance uses lpddr5 for 100, 200, 400, or 800GB/sec.

It's mostly bus width, not the memory technology that makes a big difference.
Otoh: I’ve seen new-staff bring more maturity and diverse experience and broader knowledge of patterns and practices than the junior-to-staff, so the value prop may not be as clear cut as it seems.

But of course the principle is true that if you hanging around make sure you get real market adjustment raises. Some companies/managers are better about this than others.
That frame makes it look like ancient technology rather than 'picture frame'.
In 21st century hindsight, being annoyed by irrational numbers seems a bit odd to me. I mean this very much as an opinion. I actually partially understand where they were coming from; it makes a bit more sense than the 21st century perspective would indicate, but still, obviously, not something we'd agree with today.

Even from a 21st century perspective, I think that the first "two dimensional number" is always going to freak people out and I can see where it's coming from. Imaginary numbers intrinsically involves leaving numbers that can be used to describe the number of apples you have in your hand, and by the time people get there, they've been pretty darned used to numbers looking like that. Real numbers nominally overshoot that too (you can't really have apples in two hands whose size only differs by 10^(-(10^1000))) but people tend to not have their faces rubbed in this until they get a math degree.

Matrices nominally are such numbers too, but they are often presented as shortcuts rather than numbers in and of themselves.

Of course in the 21st century now we have a zoo of these representations and the community as a whole is comfortable with it.... but for any given person I still think that first number that isn't something that can be a number of meters or apples is a shock.
It requires a license though, otherwise it's illegal in most places. Youtube can't help with that.
That is a really small selection.

This year everyone from Mini to Royce Rolls are selling EVs. Some such as BMW and Polestar are on their 3rd generation.
Saying "I don't want censorship" is equivalent to saying "I'm fine with people using my tool for coffee meetups, genocide planning, bridge club, and drug deals." It's an attempted handwashing of moral responsibility under the cover of software purity.

At this point, it's pretty well documented that social media _as a tool_ has increased young female mental illness; the question is only "how much" [1]. To try to wave away responsibility for this by saying "but I'm just making a tool!" is beyond irresponsible at this point; it's morally reprehensible.

I don't know.

The final user should (somehow) create a .eml file of the suspect e-mail, then (in your current setup/workflow) send this .eml file as an attachment to the e-mail address of the service.

I don't see the difference, once the .eml file is available, between sending it via e-mail as attachment and uploading it to a portal.

On second thought, there is (in the second approach) another risk , the "original" suspect e-mail remains in the final user inbox, and in theory should be left alone until a verdict arrives, then the user should either delete the e-mail (if found to be a phishing attempt) or open it normally, but this is left to the care and diligence of the final user.

It won't work, before or later the user will mis-read a notification from the system or couple it with the "wrong" e-mail.

Imagine that the user receives 10 suspect e-mails, duly uploads (or sends) all of them to the service and waits diligently for the verdicts.

The verdicts are 10 different e-mails from the service, 7 positives and 3 negatives, it would be easy to mismatch these notifications against the messages in the inbox, possibly interspersed with non-suspect ones.
If they are working for themselves yes. But remember they have to not only pay themselves but pay for their truck, their tools, their fuel and their time to drive out to your house, their accountant or bookkeeper, maybe someone who answers their phone and does their schedule, etc. If they are working for someone else, they need to cover all the overhead of the business.

I don't expect that newspapers will suddenly decide to start doing in depth investigations into systemic failures of hydrologic systems. Nonetheless it's hard to develop nuanced perspectives on what needs changing without knowing what the current system does well and what it does poorly and why it is the way that it is.

If we're going to have sensible public policy we need to educate ourselves better so that we're not always just reacting to the immediate crisis, but actually developing policies that are workable.
Grace + Hopper is very similar to a 4090 + CPU. They are each on their own die/chiplet, but share a package. The CPU will of course be ARM not x86-64, but otherwise very similar to what you describe.

> Electricity isn't hard.

Famous last words. Maybe the real issue is that it's treated as a "trade", ie, something you can get accredited with in 2 years of vocational school or community college. But as we know from all the actual regulations about it, the reality is much different.
Agreed! And when people like that go to random forums asking for solutions to fix that CVE now, and are told to just override it with latest curl, that is the optimal solution given their (bullshit) constraints and I wouldn't blame the random forums.
For sure, my biggest question is if there are even any theoretical ideas about how to achieve it.

Color is currently dark and so faded-looking, and even the "whites" are so muddy gray, because of the color filter technology. You can improve the number of intermediate color levels and improve the refresh rate, but the contrast and darkness is just an inherent limitation of putting color filters on top of what is otherwise just a regular monochrome e-ink display.

Achieving true CMYK color would require each capsule to contain not just two pigments (white and black) but five (white, black, cyan, magenta, yellow). Two pigments we can do because there exist two electric charges -- the white pigment is charged positive and the black is negative.

But is there any kind of theoretical technology that could toggle five sets of pigments between the top and bottom of each capsule? And indeed, do so in "subcapsules" at a small enough scale to enable perceptual color mixing, the way subcapsules do for levels of gray now?

The only thing I could imagine is if instead of using pigments inside of capsules, we used actual microscopic physical cubes, since their 6 sides would allow for 5 colors. But how you could assemble and electromagnetically control microscopic cubes 180° along two axes of movement that were suspended in some way... I can't even imagine.
It’s like comparing a software developer with a very successful startup founder who started a software business and saying: “Look programmers can be billionaires” to goad kids into going into software development.
There is an actual difference in quality (though not as much as the salary differential).

Not in small part due to a significant percentage of the best engineers originating in those regions are already here in the United States.
I am burnt out on remote work and have been burnt out on in-person work. Now I am just trying to plan a way out from all of this via self-employment.
...trash filler?

It seems like Nvidia made a bajillion V100s (and some P100s) but very few ended up on eBay and such. I would have liked a cheap one.
Like 3/4 of Amazon's listings for classic books are Print on Demand scams that exist to trick people buying books as gifts, who don't know what they're looking at and don't know to watch out for this sort of thing. Just Project Gutenberg text automatically sent to the printer, no manual typesetting or clean-up or any actual care put into it. They're just garbage, literally. Pure waste.
> Later, complex numbers, which are the sum of a real and an imaginary number, gained wide acceptance by mathematicians because of their usefulness for solving complicated mathematical problems. They aren't part of the equations of any fundamental theory of physics, however—except for quantum mechanics.

I don't see how this is remotely true. You can't even solve the ODE for an undamped mass-spring system without imaginary numbers. More generally, most of our notion of eigenvalues falls apart if we work over the field of reals rather than complex numbers, and once you lose that, you lose most of linear algebra and with it vast swaths of engineering.

A bit off-topic but the post title will probably attract relevant people.

What are the thoughts on OCaml on HN?
Of course they don't want to fix it. Those barriers help drive up the value of the people that control those barriers. In my state, its also a huge problem with Nursing and Police Certification. Especially over the last 3 years. If you hire a police officer in Oregon today, you will wait at least 9 months until they can start at the state run academy. And they might not graduate. So you have to pay them for 9 months to 'study' and not be police, and hope they graduate. Most deparments here put their recruiting efforts into getting licensed officers from other departments, with a huge bonus. (and of course, massive overtime for existing officers, and complaining about the shortages, turnover, etc)

As the average age of Nurses, Police, etc over the years crept up, there was no movement to increase the capacity of training replacements, as the senior people liked the wages they got.
Yes, LLMs have practical applications. But the crypto-style hype that is happening is bringing a reek to the space that it doesn't deserve. There's a real risk that AI will end up being viewed through the same lens cryptocurrency is viewed with now, regardless of practical applications.

> Many investors lost huge money with crypto; I do not see the same for AI.

Oh I absolutely do see this coming. The difference between this and cryptocurrency is that the amount and scope of the damage won't be as wide-ranging.
Yeah there's a general anti-union sentiment in tech, but I think this is slowly changing as companies continue to screw over tech workers, and we as tech workers start to realize that we actually aren't safe from the fall out of incompetent executives.

How many companies this year started layoffs with recruiters, HR, and admin staff and are now turning to laying off software engineers?
Many people have been reporting BlueTooth issues on their Macs. I personally have the same problem. But just because you don't experience it doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist for many others.
You could see that mostly because the first example does everything as that's what everyone knows, the second is similar and solidifies the pattern, which you could then match to the rest

The question is, what does it tell you when people struggle with Roman LCX*ML more vs the more familiar first pattern besides the fact that training/familiarity makes it easier?

And it's telling you have to reach for the kids
>It didn’t just block Amazon

No, I guess it also blocked google, oracle, etc. from monetizing their work without sharing the proceeds from the quite considerable profits they make (something they seem happy to do).

Didnt block anybody else though, as you well know. Any regular user of Elastic faced 0 additional restrictions.

>Does that make it hard to monetize development of software

No. As Amazon demonstrates the software can still be monetized by the most powerful rent seeking players in the market like Amazon.

Does it make it hard for the companies not running monopolistic rent machines that actually build open source? Yes. MUCH harder. It would have killed elastic.

>too bad.

Yes, too bad for open source.

You can be anti open source if you like (it has made a lot of people mad, not just MSFT and Amazon) but don't try to dress it up.
Not every e-commerce site agrees. I tried to review a book that I wasn't entirely happy with on bol.com recently. They told me I can only write reviews of books that I purchased there (ironically I bought it at a retailer that is part of the same holding). I ended up putting it on Amazon instead.
actually its more now, and Mcdonalds starts at $18 an hour
My first every app. Can I live off it?
I started making this app as a tutorial to learn swift some months ago.

I just kept adding stuff and this is the result.

I've got about 5 active subscribers and 3 more about to convert.

Do you think I can grow this? Sometimes I feel like I should just make another app with a real good idea, not this tutorial turned app.

If I can scale to 20 customers with good churn rate I will keep going.

Feel free to ROAST the CRAP out of the app ;)
The key word in your response is "imagine" which is literally all you're doing.
The podcast episode "Googling Strangers and Kentucky Bluegrass" from the Anthropocene Reviewed. Short but powerful episode that made me cry.
>Electricity isn't hard.

I agree that we absolutely need to make regulation here more efficient, but I think this attitude is not effective. Electricity is hard, and getting it wrong ruins lives. It's OK to say that something is both hard but also perfectly learnable by most people. They aren't mutually exclusive. As soon as we learn something, we tend to say "it's not hard, really" to people starting that same journey. I think a lot of people unjustly reserve the word "hard" for only the highest degrees of complexity. But it's a useful word - we don't want to discourage anybody, but we also want to maintain a healthy respect for how much work you need to do to properly learn some things.
It’s roughly the same thing with currency. The trick is to call it modern monetary theory instead of the printing press. of course, who doesn’t want modern?

But surely it can only run so long. The problem is that most people believe that their countries can’t fall into authoritarianism because they are a democracy.
Dude, keep up the good work, you're an inspiration !
I recently had a broken phone replaced and had depended on a backup to have my TOTP keys on my new phone. It was not a part of the phone backup. :(
I don't see why we should assume malice based on market capitalization. It's easy to imagine a situation where an organization the size of Apple just doesn't have the competence to deal with all the spam. They're a huge organization, I doubt any one person has a complete view of App Store moderation especially (by definition) their unknown unknowns.

It depends on how they measure moderation in the App store. Everything may appear to be going well from what they can see and measure. I see no reason to believe apps are getting through because of bribery when we can explain this situation as "large organizations are inefficient".

And honestly, with jRuby there’s no reason you can’t just jump in this pool.
GNOME these days is pretty great. Quick tap of the super key and then type to launch something. Super left, right, or up arrow to snap to the side or maximize. Ctrl-alt left/right to switch workspaces. Doing that while holding shift will move the current selected window to the next workspace.

Plus GNOME 3 introduced the concept of extensions, which are as powerful as the old Firefox extensions were. You can change literally anything about the shell to suit your needs.
In practice if you offer criminals a choice of real encryption (Signal) or fake encryption (Sky ECC, Anom, etc.) they choose the fake encryption.
The compliance madness I can understand, but for an individual with no legal or management-mandated constraints...

Either you're security-conscious or you do random changes based on anonymous forum posts, I just don't really see an overlap.

In any case, I don't think it's fair to blame the forums for giving you the solution given your whacky requirements.
I'm not really in favor of putting 2FA codes in the Cloud, see that password manager that got hacked a few months ago. Granted, we can expect better from Google, but still, they're not accepting any liability.

Google Authenticator already has a QR-Code based very easy export procedure, I just backup my GAuth to my spare phone and tablet. It feels safer because it's physical.

Of course, not everyone has several devices, and physical security is not granted to everyone. I guess cloud-backedup 2FA is better than no 2FA, or than 2FA with no backup at all. But... Cloud ? for security stuff ?

US Gov's overzealous prosecution of Aaron Swartz on behalf of major publishers (and major donors) might work better. That involves creating law and the exercise of gov power, both of which were granted to the copyright interests behind influential lobbyists.
Why does no one wants to fix it? Clearly there's a lot of demand for more electricians.
Pretty sure I read before that chimpanzee have higher 'n-back' capacity.
I too love Gurri, but I don't think this is at all what he is saying. The Internet and particularly the social media have certainly something to do with it, but to my understanding he is talking about the erosion of knowledge-creation and the collapse of "elites". (Note also that everyone in this forum probably belongs to the latter category in a way or another.) His takes correlate with those from political scientists who talk about institutional decay and such things.
The official Watchy firmware is designed to put the esp32 into deep sleep and only wake to update the display, which being e-ink doesn't need any further power to hold its position until the next update. In deep sleep no radios are on and the esp32 uses very small amounts of power. In my experience, I usually have to plug it into charge every ~10 days.

As far as bluetooth on Watchy goes, it's more useful for OTA updates than anything else. When in this mode, Watchy's firmware can be sent as a .bin over bluetooth. This takes only a few minutes and then the ble radio is turned off. No real hit the battery.

The other [quicker] way to flash the firmware is via usb, during which time the battery is charging.

What I like about Watchy is that it requires no phone or apps, is running firmware I wrote and flashed, and occasionally calls my server for data if I need it.
Everyone I know who does blue collar work echoes what you said.

It's pretty broken on the other side of things too, presumably because the work sucks so much and is so variable that they are incentivized to milk every penny from those who appear like they can afford it.

As a busy professional homeowner that is well-paid, I would gladly pay 50% more than the current going rate in town to know that a decent, workmanlike job would be done.

The quality of the work is completely decoupled from the rates charged though, which kind of makes sense, as there are plenty of people in town who need HVAC/plumbing/electrical &c. work done who can't afford to pay over the going rate.

It took me a decade to find a plumber that is honest (luckily they do decent work as well, but honest was hard enough of a bar to reach).
Oh, absolutely. And just knowing that despite almost never seeing one, you know they see you.

I've been to a talk by a local guy who survived an attack by a young grizzly. The feeling of pure helplessness that he expressed was... something.
