I had a useless subscription that festered for over a year. Everytime I thought about it I felt that I should keep it since I might need it. Looking back I did not need it. It was a waste of money. I suspect many people are in the same situation. They know about the subscription but can't commit to canceling it. It's much easier when it's done automatically.
You may be right. I was not expecting this to be at the top of HN

UPDATE: I have updated the repo, attempting to address the issue raised by GaggiX
Quite regularly I see sponsored content that is targeted at people living in the US. If the product is even available in my country there's a huge shipping cost
and exchange rate that makes it not worth purchasing even with a discount code. I try not to spend too much time watching YouTube every day so skipping sponsors for products I cannot buy is a good way to save time.
I wasn't talking about cartels. A corporation is a union of owners. We've just been trained not to see it that way.
There's evidence that SpaceX is pursuing multiple options in parallel. They already started on some kind of cooling plate before the recent test so now they will probably finish it and use it for the next launch.
Counterpoint: iPhones dominate the majority of the premium phone market share

https://www.gizchina.com/2023/03/21/iphone-dominates-75-of-t...

That would lead to believe that people who can afford to do so, majorly choose iPhones and the dominance of Android appears to be more budget conscious uses.

—-

I think that looking at overall market share as a trend marker is flawed. You need to look at it for demographics like age and price.

The iPhone dominates among younger demographics and more affluent demographics.

I think that means we’ll see iPhone market share worldwide grow as the current youth become a larger percentage of the population, and also due to Apple moving manufacturing to India, which will reduce the high taxes.

I don’t expect the iPhone to take over the market there because even the SE is quite expensive BUT I do expect it to take over the middle and upper class now that Apple has stores there, and can potentially reduce taxes.

I’ve gone back and forth between android and iOS since the original Galaxy S and iPhone 3G , so I’m not trying to justify one over another fwiw. Just hoping to add more nuance.
I never really considered it until this article, but I think socially stretch limos are kind of a "poor people thing" now. The article kind of mentions it but once it became to accessible, it lost its allure. I think a bentley is a better indicator of wealth now if we're talking about cars.
Not sure why this is down voted, I have felt negative energy from coworkers about this as well.
Yup, use an accessory for that. I used it to setup a Minecraft server for our last company meetup.

I agree, there should be a way to have the primary app be an image that doesn’t get built/pushed.

I regularly get these infinity captchas on Firefox as well. A couple of days ago I noticed that switching to a different Firefox container let's me pass the captchas.
I agree to an extent but i think the relative proportions of people doing any workaround falls off exponentially as you go down that list. Probably lots and lots of people do ad block, because ads are horrible and long and disruptive and just suck. Significantly less people do sponsor block, for one, you can just click through it, there's no unskippable 3 minute sponsor in a youtube video, and the actual sponsors are significantly less adversly psychological, a real human you trust telling you something is wayb easier to listen to than the product of many committees focused on obviously manipulating your emotions.

And then for the video summaries, probably some people will do it. But i would literally never, it's crazy. I enjoy the videos because of their creativity, their visuals are usually important, the voice is soothing and interesting, and the nuances of the content are all crafted by a human with your interests in mind. To replace that with some auto closed caption summarizing gpt shit would be ridiculous. I strongly doubt that this will gain significant traction anywhere near where sponsorblock currently is. If someone would rather see a paragraph summary then they probably wouldn't watch much of the video anyway.

This strikes me as scared and somewhat defeatist. As media changes, audiences and what they demand changes. We don't listen to radio periodicals anymore because we have better ways to get that information across. I don't see anything other than maybe augmented reality that could possibly usurp the throne that video currently sits upon. Certainly not some llm generated summary crap
First, what's a brogrammer job?

Second, how is productivity being lost? If, as you say, the loss happens _while_ trying to improve interview skills, then, presumably, the person working on the improvement is looking for a job, and either is not currently employed (and thus can't be losing anyone money in lost productivity), or wishes to quit his current job (and thus is probably not super committed to the tasks at hand).
Yes....?

If I see info in logs and it could help a user (my userbase is internal), I reach out to them. I've coached a number of them through improving something on their end, even if it's not a critical change.

And I'm by no means some sysadmin wizard.

But seeing this story comes from both Central Command and from CNN, I would expect it to be just made-up garbage as a news-filler on a slow day.

And, by the way, just where is this 'coalition airspace' located in the territory of Syria? (Another reason why the article is likely to be bullshit. Russian planes have permission to fly over Syria. US planes do not.)

You may want to re-read their comment. They said "1000 line long dependency file", not 1000 dependencies.
It's not actually fixed point. All data in COBOL is text based, including numbers[1]. When number are put into working storage fields, they are converted to text and have to be truncated to the length of the field in characters.

[1] The COMP keyword does not convert working storage to binary, BTW.
Hey! Banana cofounder here.

Firstly, thank you so much for trying our service, we'll do our best to meet performance expectations and win you back!

Re: #1 and #2, cold boots are the most vital thing for us to solve, because it fixes #1 directly and helps #2 indirectly. As we drive cold starts exponentially toward 0s (obv impossible but there's a near-zero asymptote to what's possible, limited only by disk read throughput), it makes it more viable to actually run serverless and scale from 0->1 for each user call. Our goal RN is to hit 1s, as that's generally the sweetspot for LLM app builders to stop feeling pain from the cold boot. We're getting close (2-5s) for most models with Turboboot (shill warning https://www.banana.dev/blog/turboboot). Glorious future would be more like 100ms, but depending on where the size of models end up, 1s+ cold boots may just be the cost of doing business.

Re: #3, if I understand, you're looking for interactive compute (IE you ssh in, mess around, do training runs, attach a jupyter notebook). For my personal ML training I use and suggest Lambda Labs or Brev.dev. Have heard great things of Coreweave, and users of Mosaic have seemed quite satisfied but I don't believe it's as interactive as you may want. Banana has no plans to support interactive GPU sessions, to conserve focus toward being best at cold boots.

You're definitely not alone in this wishlist, so I validate you. If I were building applications on top of a provider, I'd expect the same things. Big gnarly challenge with all the tools being a few years old at best! Fastest route to dependable tools is intense focus, us on cold boots.

AMA, if anyone is interested in digging
By which they mean shared-hosting servers with GPUs.
FYI, I spent some more time troubleshooting and might have found the root cause. I had switched to 1Password 8 Beta before it was released because I enjoyed the updated UI. Once version 8 was officially released, I switched to the Stable channel, but the desktop app was stuck on the old beta version. So, beta was old, but the extension kept getting updated likely causing the bad behavior.

I uninstalled the macOS beta app and reinstalled the stable version. It seems to be working fine for the last day or so.
Here is my brief explanation of the example given on the website in order to clear up some confusion, that I gleaned from the thesis paper. Admittedly, this language does require knowledge of Haskell to really comprehend:

-- Extract all twin primes from the infinite list of prime numbers with pattern matching!
def twinPrimes :=
matchAll primes as list integer with
| _ ++ $p :: #(p + 2) :: _ -> (p, p + 2)

"matchAll is composed of an expression called target, matcher, and match clause,
which consists of a pattern and body expression."

In the example `primes` is a list of primes as in Haskell: `[2,3,5,7...]` considered the "target", and the "matcher" `list integer` may be thought of as a Haskell type like `[Int]`. So I suppose you could simply write it as `primes :: [Int]` and mean the same thing. This notion of a "Haskell list" is important because in the "match clause" the "pattern" is a combination of concatenation using the operator `++` and cons from Lisp using the operator `::`---note that this deviates from Haskell syntax in a somewhat confusing way where Haskell uses `:` and `::` for typing. Nonetheless, the integer list is deconstructed according to concatenation first, in every way, i.e. `[] ++ [2,3,..]`, `[2]++[3,5..]`, etc.., then according to cons'ing with the head stored in the variable `$p`. Yet, the "rest" of the list in this case is actually matched according to the pattern `x::y::_`, therefore, the second element must be 2 from the first, which is why the first pattern `[]++(2::3::_)` is discarded. The `#p` notation simply means to reuse the previous value of p to create a literal match, therefore for the first pattern `p is 2` and `#(p + 2) is 4` thus the pattern becomes 2 followed by 4 followed by the rest, which again doesn't exist. Finally if a match does exist, the values are constructed according to the "body expression", in this case a pair, and all of the results kept in a list. Therefore the type of this value is

twinPrimes :: [(Int, Int)]
But they are very different in their presentations
No hate to OP, but almost every single argument in the article regarding Powershell boils down to them not knowing a thing about bash. I know this is the case, despite the claim in the article that they do, because it's clear from the text.

I also felt bash was cryptic before I decided to actually learn it. Now it's one of my favourite languages. All it took was reading "man bash", which is actually super clear and surprisingly enjoyable to read for a manpage.

As I was reading this article, initially I felt like I wanted to "rebut" the claims, but by the time I finished reading, I realised I would basically end up having to rebut the whole thing. (and doing so on a phone is simply not worth it).

Honestly, learn bash. It's actually beautiful. By all means, use PS too; but judging from your article, you're missing out on a lot of great stuff.

I’m a former pro musician. I’m a drummer so lol I don’t have perfect pitch, but I met a few folks who did. Having true perfect pitch sounds awful honestly. The world is constantly out of tune and it takes effort to ignore it.

I knew many more people with very good relative pitch. In school those people would get a middle C at the start of ear training class and ace every note after that because they knew where that C was.
"indicator of wealth"

Maybe. I think it is an indicator of multiple things, one being wealth.

Another thing that comes to mind is of someone that needs to signal, badly, that they have wealth. Some people may be interested in those signals, but I hope/guess not too many.

PS: I'm all for people having wealth and spending it on things that make their lives better, but conspicuous consumption/Veblen goods/positional goods seem like some kind of ancient software in humans that hopefully will pass in time.
How do you know if they're worth preserving or not if you can't see them?

And "worth preserving" is a term that can be seen from a myriad of perspectives. Whether it's good or not is only one factor.

A film or television episode might be worth preserving because:

* it's an early work or appearance by someone who would go on to be significant

* it's a product of its era displaying the context, fashions, language, politics, events and attitudes of the time

* it's actually really bad, but demonstrates what bad film-making looked like in that time

* it's a cherished childhood memory of someone who mentions that in their autobiography, and so scholars may wish to have access.

Probably loads of other reasons why something is worth preserving beyond a basic question of "is it any good?".

The BBC destroyed and disposed of a large number of episodes of Doctor Who from the 1960s, and a lot of time and effort has been put into recovering and restoring copies of these because they are a part of the ongoing narrative of the evolution of British television.

ChatGPT directly into Jupyter Notebook with Notebookgpt by Noteable, notebookgpt.com as a plugin: http://notebookgpt.com/
I asked ChatGPT:

Is chatgpt a stochastic parrot?

No, ChatGPT is not a stochastic parrot. ChatGPT is a large language model that uses deep learning algorithms to generate text based on the input it receives. While it can sometimes produce nonsensical or inaccurate responses, it is not simply repeating phrases or patterns without any understanding of the meaning behind them. Instead, ChatGPT is designed to analyze and learn from a vast corpus of text data, and it uses that knowledge to generate responses that are intended to be relevant and meaningful based on the input it receives.

May not prevent as in you won't get caught. You would not be self-certifying in good faith though.
There are two so-called gospels of Thomas: the one called the Gospel of Thomas, which is a collection of sayings attributed to Jesus, and the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, which is what we're talking about here. The Infancy Gospel is dated from between AD 150 to AD 185.

Also, the Gospel of Thomas has a huge range of dates of composition, partly because it is just sayings, most of which are found in the canonical gospels. AD 60 is the earliest date of composition, but some time in the mid-2nd century is more likely.

the north indian plans are among the most fertile soils in the world. Same with the Yangtze river delta in China. India has the advantage of being closer to the equator hence winters are milder. So mild that many parts of india have not one or two but three growing seasons.

The UK, along with our other closest allies (Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) should be representing the position of the United States with regard to free speech. It almost seems as though our own (US) government is now opposed to free speech, even though it was identified as the top most important (ratified) right.

Note: The original first amendment was: "WE DECLARE, That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that all power is inherent in the PEOPLE; and that all free governments are, and of right ought to be, founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and well being. For the advancement of these ends, the PEOPLE have, at all times, an indefeasible right to alter and reform their government."

That one was never ratified.
It's not about the tool. It's about what you become by using it.
There is a...contingent...of people here and in other social media venues who seem quite set on elevating the achievements of their chosen group (China, in this case) with exaggerated, unmerited praise, and simultaneously poo-pooing the (usually equally or even more notable) achievements of others.

It's not just with China; it happens in other areas, too, usually focused on eastern nations or private enterprise (e.g., classical/ancient period mathematicians from India, SpaceX, etc.). I don't know if it's overcompensation for westerners' historically casual and sometimes active diminishing/ignoring these accomplishments or what, but it comes off as a tasteless attempt to assert superiority where none exists. And I'm just kinda tired of seeing it.

I thought this article somewhat buried the interesting part with lots of only tangentially-related anecdotes. I loved the doctors nuanced takes on what transparency can mean for medical professionals, and thought the other examples were misplaced (focusing not so much on transparency, but on other things like measurement difficulty, process adherence, etc). I was a little surprised that the section on transparency in government didn't touch at all on executive privilege which is obviously a big topic right now.

I thought one point in particular was very well made: transparency in and of itself should not be a goal. We should have a specific outcome we're trying to achieve, and transparency should be an option, but not the only option considered. For the medical case, maybe the goal is improving portability of medical records (critical!) but we need to think about what mandating transparency does to all the things the doctor mentions (people using Dr Google, oversharing to family members, etc).
Most of these implementations are not platform-specific. I've been running llama.cpp on x86_64 hardware and the performance is fine. The small models are fast and the quantized 65B model generates about a token per second on a system with dual-channel DDR4, which isn't unusable.

The tough thing to find is something affordable that will run the unquantized 65B model at an acceptable speed. You can put 128GB of RAM in affordable hardware but ordinary desktops aren't fast. The things that are fast are expensive (e.g. I bet Epyc 9000 series would do great). And that's the thing Apple doesn't get you either, because Apple Silicon isn't available with that much RAM, and if it was it wouldn't be affordable (the 96GB Macbook Pro, which isn't enough to run the full model, is >$4000).
it's not that simple and never is. Solar panels operate at peak power for around one hour per day. Adding tracking is not cheap or trivial.

I regularly point out that those "prices" of renewable energy are predicated on a VERY important assumption - that the rest of the grid exists to deliver power when the renewable generators are not running. That has a cost and it not currently attributed to the source of the problem - the renewable generators. Rather, you and i pay that price.
I'm with you on your PS but I don't think it will pass. I feel like humans are inherently comparative beings. We weigh and measure all humans we come in contact with and most are weighed by looks for a first impression. Some people are always going to measure by perceived wealth.

Application software would still go through the OS native printing APIs. Office or Chrome don't directly interact with the vendor's driver.

As for browser API compatibility, I don't see much point to it since they're mostly designed with the assumption of a JS host. Ideally a WASM driver would export low-level functions to translate from (for example) PostScript to USB packets. Then the underlying native driver (Linux kernel module, Windows dll, etc) runs the WASM and handles all the IO, calling exported WASM functions as needed.
