nitpick Cockroach was built by the team that built spanner. So your phrasing is off there.
Sorry, the dictionary definition for the verb "train" is that indeed it applies to humans, and animals. (and nothing else)
How to manage hundreds of Kubernetes clusters efficiently
You keep your mouth shut about material property of Google. E.g. don't post code, and probably don't give details about code that hasn't been made public. Sure, this area is not clear and can also depend on one's internal position in the company, but it's important to separate moral hazard from legal hazard.

As far as one's opinions go, and in particular how the company made you feel, that's not paid for. A severance agreement might outline some things, but again that's legal hazard and not moral hazard. There are certainly some execs and managers who will only want to work with really, really loyal people, who throw in a lot more for the money. And some execs will pay a lot more for that... e.g. look at how much Tesla spends on employee litigation.
Indeed I do not like LastPass and I have taken my business elsewhere. But it’s not on me to sell myself a passkey solution, it’s on the snobby folks like you who are so sure it’s obviously better. And I’ll repeat my previous comment: you all are doing a piss poor job of explaining that to the rest of the world who aren’t going to get on board. Betamax was better, VHS won.
goto isn't that dangerous, or that strange. It has it's place (like inline retries instead of recursion or for-loops) but it's rare to reach for them in most languages.
"the pre-programmed voltages used to support EXPO memory overclocking profiles"

Bad things shouldn't be expected when using pre-programmed voltages.

And chips shorting out beyond thermal limits shouldn't be expected ever.
In the Middle: A New Pre-Training Paradigm
Isn't the usage of Autopilot "willing participation"? Or are you referring to the other people on the road?

Wouldn't that also be true of your medicine analogy? If someone takes an experimental medicine but experiences an unknown side effect and passes out while driving, isn't the risk profile equivalent?

That hypothetical certainly is far less probable than the Autopilot case, but for any experiment that takes place outside controlled conditions, there can always be unknown and unforeseen consequences that affect people who have not given explicit consent to being part of said experiment.

To argue that we cannot test things unless all potentially-involved parties have given consent is to argue for an impossibility. There is always some small amount of risk of higher-order consequences.

I would even go further and say that arguing for such is an unnecessarily conservative approach that hamstrings any attempt at improving the world. See, for example, this commentary on the current state of IRBs [1]

I'll chalk that labeling scheme up to trying to look good for a shot but not needing to stand up to any real scrutiny, but I have often wondered how usable a LCARS-inspired interface would be and what would need to happen to make it usable.
Bard is in full-scale production to all U.S. users for free. GPT-4 costs $20/month. Rather a big difference in the economics of the situation. Also it's pretty clear that even the $20 is highly subsidized. Microsoft is willing to incinerate almost any amount of money to harm Google.
It's up to you to percieve this the way you wish, but please don't not force these assumptions onto other people.

Thanks!

> the same cannot be said for Android. I don't have a Pixel

It's a little silly to criticize their argument, then. Android is not a uniform experience because it runs on everything. Your Raspberry Pi can boot Android with the right drivers. It certainly won't be your "iPhone is an iPhone is an iPhone" experience, but that's because the AOSP exists. It's reductive and a non-argument.

Now, you also don't need to go build a fresh AOSP image or install GrapheneOS to argue in good faith. That being said, if you have to make vendors look like the boogeyman to win an online argument about cell phones, you're likely building a case that works equally well against Apple.
Can you please edit personal swipes out of your comments here? You triggered a bunch of people unnecessarily by failing to do that with this one.

I appreciate that you do this less than you used to (thank you!) but it's still a problem.

It's easy with https://btn.social/ :D

I made this because I was tired of asking the same question.

There are a bunch of services out there trying to address the same thing, but unfortunately they get wildly expensive and they own/control your user data.

Professionally, I've been a consultant and freelance developer for 10+ years. Time and time again I'd see teams start with Auth0/etc, only to eventually:

1. duplicate user data into their own DB/Cache to avoid the latency of asking Auth0 for user data

2. remove Auth0 entirely because having active users !== having paying users... so Auth0's monthly bill of $3000 to $10000+ couldn't be justified

3. #1 then eventually #2

btn.social is just as simple to set up, but has predictable & transparent pricing with volume discounts the more you use it. At its most expensive, it's 100 logins per penny ($0.01), which is to say that "MAUs" are a thing of the past.

As quick pricing comparison:

- Auth0's (public) pricing calculator [1] shows 10k MAUs for $228/mo. That just means 10k users logged in 1+ time(s) that month. In btn.social terms, that's 10k, 20k, or 30k logins depending on if each of those users logged in 1x, 2x, or 3x (etc). For $5, you get 50k logins with btn.social.... and for $169 you get 2.5M logins... [2]

- Supabase charges $25/mo, which includes a lot more than just OAuth(!) but if you look at Auth alone, that $25 includes 100k MAUs and is an additional $0.00325 per MAU thereafter [3]. Assuming 1x login per MAU, that's $2950/mo for 1M users. With btn's "Business" tier, you get 1M logins for $79/mo, but of course there's still the $169 for 2.5M if you don't like the "1x login per MAU" assumption.

Another key difference is that btn.social saves nothing about your users.

It's your app so you get to keep your data. You'll never need to have to ask btn.social for Alex's profile because we won't have it :D This means we're privacy-first & we don't add/pose a risk for GDPR concerns.

btn.social was just launched last week [4], so some additional guides & examples are still underway, but there are already 10+ OAuth providers [5] to choose from & a free/"Hobby" tier so anyone can start playing around in just a few minutes.

OAuth isn’t an authentication protocol, it’s authorisation protocol (which attempts to solve nebulous authorisation delegation scenarios in an often overly generic and overly complicated way).
SimulaVR: Testing AR Mode Image Processing
Since the 60s? The yard measurement dates to sometime before the Norman invasion of England. And it's not even used that widely in the US outside of some specific contexts like sports. A gallon, from which a quart is derived is of a similar vintage. Without digging into history, I assume some SI volume and length measurements roughly mirrored existing Imperial units as opposed to the other way round.
I totally get why people act this way. Because it's Very Important That Everyone Knows What I Think.

But there is no inequity or conflict of interest here. None of that about being trapped in a capitalist economy is to the point here. He has probably a couple million dollars in his bank account that wasn't there before, and the deal was to not talk publicly about internals (which includes promotions process, internal motivations and decision-making, etc).
> If mastodon is to be the poster child of the fediverse it needs to drastically simplify the requirements to run and maintain an instance.

Completely agree.

I tried to self-host Cloudflare's Wildebeest as part of the "own your own identity and content" dream and it was a complete disaster. It's an incomplete amalgamation of alpha-quality and production Cloudflare services and code with no real roadmap. It doesn't install properly out of the box using their own documentation and most clients will try to use some Mastodon/ActivityPub API that isn't implemented and fail. So unless you're looking to seriously hack on its codebase, I'd recommend staying away for a few years.
Allow me to start by quoting your profile:

"Conflict is essential to human life"

Do you ever ask yourself if the folks who report my comments just have a hard time with freedom of expression?

Do you ever reach out to the ones that report everything that isn't a mainstream opinion? I know they exist. It's the bread and butter of the culture here.

Look, I get it. YCombinator isn't a constitutionalist organization, or whatever. You are based in America, though. I hope you reflect on that. Often.

Let's get to the meat:

If you want to censor people (or your boss wants you to), you should just do it. Bullying folks into censoring themselves is no bueno, and I am more than happy to call this out as exactly that. It's hilariously ironic because I'm the kind of person who could absolutely help this community, but you are certain I need to be pushed out whenever we meet. How fun to push up that hill. Still, I try.

If sharing my thoughts, freely, on topic is "breaking the rules," feel free to call out the specific rule I am breaking. This "PlEaSe ReAd OuR GuIdElInEs" crap is pretty despicable and my time is worth a lot more than that. Your time is worth a lot more than that.

If you can't be specific: Please, don't bother. I haven't broken any site guidelines with this comment, or the last one.

It's a two way street. I'd be grateful if you started taking my perspective into account, but I guess that is a lot to ask, even though you have had so many opportunities.
Isn't the problem with a home turbine the low capacity? E.g. a typical backyard turbine might be good for 1000-1500W at peak output, and it's still pretty big and wants to be mounted on a 20 foot pole. The good ones are kind of expensive, too.

I'd wonder if you have a lot of trees if you'd ever get much output from a turbine anyway. At a certain point, if you want legitimate solar or wind power, you probably end up finding a spot to clear some tree cover. Grab a pallet of dirt cheap used panels from SanTan and throw 'em out on the ground.

Personally I probably wouldn't even think about wind unless I lived out in eastern Oregon or Washington on the plains, with big enough property that I could get a halfway decent size turbine and mount it far enough from the house so I couldn't hear it.
>While I’ve led a data science team, I’ve never taken a data science course — so I’m not sure what it teaches. But i do feel pretty confident in saying that I think math does lose its usefulness around after trig.

Statements like this are a big part of the reason statisticians never trust anyone who works in "data science". The whole field is basically applied statistics/calculus and you're saying none of that is useful.

I wish all the locked away Slack communities would use Linen[1] because there are so many nuggets of bug-fixery buried in Slack that will age off or never be found in the horrors of Slack search

Too bad this didn't get as much discussion as the other, recent submission from this blog.

I myself have started therapy about a year ago after unsuccessfully trying to cope with some form of mild depression for many years. As a millennial, I fit into these graphs quite well.
Per [1], there was a related issue affecting Cloud Console operations globally, starting from the point where the incident went regional at 23:00 PDT, and lasting until 02:00 PDT-ish. It is incorrect to say that this had zero impact elsewhere.

Sounds like some global control plane related to instance management operations started returning errors once one region failed. Or perhaps it was just the UI frontend?

I don’t understand.

This sounds like the same deal SpaceX and T-Mobile have in the US, where Starlink satellites will be providing direct cell coverage to phones for basic SMS and voice call capability in remote areas.

This is separate from the Starlink home internet service which uses a dedicated phased array antenna for broadband speeds.
> For debit cards, imagine your account has $0.01 in it and about to be overdrawn. Each transaction from here on out will net you a $35 overdraft fee.

From some quick taps on my old calculator - it looks like the "1,442%" is calculated from Staple Street Capital having bought 76% of Dominion for $38.8M in 2018 - vs. the recent $787.5M settlement with Fox. No hint that Dominion stock might have a current market price. Or whether Dominion shares have been issued or repurchased since 2018. Or any other real-world stuff.

Even if Staple Street's attitude toward Dominion is 100% "loot the body", the article's "1,442%" calculation still assumes that Dominion's Fox-fighting lawyers were working for free.

How is the copyrighted document being "fed as vectors" if not through a process of copy of the data that it contains? Indeed the semantics are surely going to get their day in court.
The fact that you felt the need to qualify reproduction with the word "substantial" probably means that copyright will show how much "substance" is allowed to be, or not to be, copied.

About your question:
"""Is there a substantial reproduction, in your head, of a song or a text or a painting you can perfectly recall and can't seem to forget? Be careful, the copyright police will get you, the only way to delete it is to delete yourself!"""

This equivalence between "perfect" human recall, and a copy of the data input into an AI model is a bit of a strawman I think: it is the distribution of copied information that copyright protects against, the information has been uploaded in vectors, have fun demonstrating it is not being used in producing this or that model output.
If I learn a popular song and do a cover, there is a copyright law for that, I owe rights.
No, but would love to try it. I'm using these models 20-30 times a day throughout the average work day for random tasks so have a pretty good sense of performance levels. Didn't think it was available to public yet but just saw it's apparently on google cloud now, i'll have to try it out. How do you compare Palm with GPT4 if you've had a chance to try both?
> Thank you for taking the time. My search fu is admittedly weak. That you've consumed this is also impressive.

It was years ago, and I only gleaned the high concept really, but it has been around for nearly two decades now (though mysteriously not mentioned at all by Mayer's site) and, you will note, makes some pretty big claims about the fundamental nature of the cosmos including the ones I mentioned.

> Bandwagon.

Hand waving. You say that others are not doing the work by looking at the video you posted yet insist on this dismissive justification for ignoring that the qualified professional physicists of the world don't seem to think Mayer has accomplished what he claims.

> Ad hominem.

Hand waving, and wrong. I'm not insulting you, I'm pointing out the facts: we are not qualified to give an informed appraisal of this material. Drawing conclusions about its validity because it makes sense to us is pretty much exactly the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Look at what you're saying: somehow this guy has explained galactic rotation curves with high school level physics while practically all other physicists over the last nearly a century clung to some obviously wrong idea instead? And your explanation for this is that they're all in a bandwagon? This is the same community that said high-temperature superconductors couldn't exist, and then someone proved them wrong and won the fastest nobel prize in history.

Please explain how that is even remotely a rational conclusion, because it sounds like the same level of discourse one gets from flat earth conspiracy theorists.

Frankly, the idea that you are arguing in good faith is becoming harder to believe.
WRT equity in racial outcomes, nothing you mentioned factors in. Sports isn't even close to the problem. Look up the rates of students performing at grade level in reading and math, and also at graduation rates, broken down by race.

These are kids whose parents and community couldn't care less about education, and if they did, they couldn't learn anything because the classroom is filled with the chaos of those who don't.

Of course, race is nothing more than a proxy for poverty here- teachers in very poor rural areas will tell you much the same- but nobody really wants to hear that either.
It seems to be a mistake by the editor. The creator of the device quoted in the article correctly calls it a cinema camera.
Responsiveness definitely matters. It's something that users perceive even if they can't name it specifically.

On that note, it might've just been my imagination, but I swear that OS X 10.5/10.6 had a different responsiveness profiles on PowerPC and Intel Macs. Somehow Core 2 Duo Macs that on paper and in benchmarks outstripped the single core PPC G5 Macs they replaced quite significantly on every metric felt noticeably less responsive with more frequent beachballing. Really weird.
Yes, that's mainly what I was thinking of. Search suggestions, which are on by default. Chrome also has some sort of hostile site checker but that may use locally cached blacklists, I can't recall.
The VP of Sales is interesting. I would imagine that agents wouldn't look like the traditional human roles, but would stack fractally under each other, like functions in code do.
Their entire business model is that there is value in the long tail of possible choices. The paradox of choice is not a complete description of human behavior.

What is your solution to eradicating discrimination and racism? You offer only hyperbole and no solutions. It has not solved itself, so how exactly do we achieve equality of opportunity, when it doesn’t currently exist?

Hard disagree that all discrimination is the same, this is a short-sighted and antagonistic view that seems rather ignorant of history. I do not agree that affirmative action is racist by definition.

> Defining discrimination as “positive” is just a convenient way to tell yourself you’re not being a bigot.

Listen, brother, we appear to have the same goal. You’re attacking people who agree with you. This kind of escalatory language is unproductive for all of us. I didn’t define discrimination as positive, I said there are some kinds that are positive, and affirmative action is one of them, which is why it was named that way.

One major difference you’re ignoring is that racism is prejudiced against a specific group and discriminates against a specific group, where affirmative action discriminates in favor of a specific and underprivileged group. It’s partially a sort of dual or opposite, it does not discriminate negatively against any specific group. Any disadvantage or negative discrimination, if you want to call it that, applies to everyone except the group being boosted. And again, the idea is that it’s temporary and open-source, just until we can demonstrate equality of opportunity. Another difference you’re failing to consider is that affirmative action is different from racism because affirmative action targets advantages and help toward whichever group is currently underprivileged. That’s the opposite of, for example, systemically holding back black people or women, which is what has happened for hundreds of years. If white people in America became underprivileged all of a sudden, the affirmative action policy, unlike cultural racism, would switch benefits to the new target.

There are real differences between these different kinds of discrimination that you’re trying hard not to see. I’d recommend reading more about the history of affirmative action and understanding that many many very smart and very kind people of all races have thought very hard about this problem and haven’t come up with a better solution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action

Suggesting that any attempt to fix the known problem is willfully racist is a non-starter, and you should be aware that it’s a talking point that originated from white supremacy groups.
Wait so Super Mario Bros is factually historical?
Indeed. Overclocking in 2023 is different than it was 20 years ago. You probably weren't overclocking back then without some inkling of the risks/dangers of eg. increasing the voltage to your CPU. And because you knew the risks you were probably stepping up very, very slowly and stress testing at each increment. Now you can kinda just grunt "me want faster computer" and push a button and it works. Unless it goes horribly wrong and catches your CPU on fire.

Chipmakers meanwhile can have their marketing cake by selling chips with certain properties, but pushing software that makes them "better than advertised" which seems like a great value. And then eat the legal cake by avoiding liability when chips fail because "running this hardware outside of the default specs is not supported."
Users need to accept that Netflix was never going to be profitable that way. We had a taste of that amount of content at that price, but it simply can't be economically done.
While I agree with your sentiments, the rude awakening won't occur in college/university as these institutes are also softening their grading and programs. The rude awakening will occur in life when they realize what they missed.
