Using a rtx 3070 with the Nvidia drivers. It worked fine until some update but like I said, I gave up on debugging.

It goes to show that I got downvoted for my original comment. I used to use Linux as my main os for about 7 years, but now my free time is more limited. I don't care to debug these type of problems when I am trying to just use my computer.

At work I remote into a Linux vm, so I'll do that at home as well whether my host os is windows or mac. It works for me.
Yeah, that's where they apply the activation function and that happens per neuron so you can't rotate everything and expect the same result.
There are two sides here that should not be confused. One on side we have "the network", i.e. the ability for these tags to be tracked through a myriad of iPhone owners that are not even aware that they are doing the tracking. On the other hand, we have the broadcasts emitted by the tag itself, which can announce the presence of the tag to a _nearby_ stalker.

What actually makes these tags interesting, I think, is the network.

While changing the firmware of the tags makes it (probably) easier to track nearby ones "locally" with specialized software, it will not change its interaction with the Apple network whatsoever -- it will not make it easier nor harder to stalk long-distance.

And if you are only interested in "local area stalking", I presume there are much smaller, cheaper and even more conspicuously looking trackers than an Apple AirTag.
Will at any point we be able to build a system that won’t be gamed?

ie. A system whose incentives are perfectly aligned with its operators and users incentives?

Framework is killing it and I absolutely love it. I have no need for a laptop right now, but if I ever buy another one, they'll definitely be at the top of my list. The only concern I have is with screen resolution. I'm using a MacBook and the screen resolution is an absolute blessing.
I'll repost a comment via Reddit that I think makes this case [0]:

Ants have developed architecture, with plumbing, ventilation, nurseries for rearing the young, and paved thoroughfares. Ants practice agriculture, including animal husbandry. Ants have social stratification that differs from but is comparable to that of human cultures, with division of labor into worker, soldier, and other specialties that do not have a clear human analogy.

Ants enslave other ants. Ants interactively teach other ants, something few other animals do, among them humans. Ants have built "supercolonies" dwarfing any human city, stretching over 5,000 km in one place. And ants too have a complex culture of sorts, including rich languages based on pheromones.

Despite the radically different nature of our two civilizations, it is undeniable from an objective standpoint that this level of society has been achieved by ants.

pH control is one method of stabilizing lead, orthophosphate is another (which Flint didn’t bother with).

> Most important, the treated Flint River water lacked one chemical that the treated Detroit water had: phosphate. “They essentially lost something that was protecting them against high lead concentrations,” Giammar says. Cities such as Detroit add orthophosphate to their water as part of their corrosion control plans because the compound encourages the formation of lead phosphates, which are largely insoluble and can add to the pipes’ passivation layer.

…

> The treated Flint River water had a relatively low pH that decreased over time. According to monthly operating reports from the Flint treatment plant, the city’s water had a pH of about 8 in December 2014, but then it slowly dropped to 7.3 by August 2015. Environmental engineers say that if water pH drifts too low in the absence of orthophosphate, the water can start to leach high levels of lead from pipes.

> The pH drop over time seems to indicate that plant operators in Flint didn’t even have a target pH as part of a corrosion plan, Edwards says. Water utilities usually find a pH that’s optimal for preventing corrosion in their system. For example, in Boston, another city with old lead pipes, average water pH held steady around 9.6

I don't care about the jobs - automation has always made the job market better overall.

But I do care about being treated disrespectfully by companies, and I consider chatbots to be the ultimate in disrespect. Making me pretend to talk to someone to take part in an interaction is extremely offensive.

I'm mostly fine with ordering kiosks, like at McDonalds. But I draw the line at having to talk to myself. I will not use any restaurant that implements this.

> who here doesn't want infotainment software in their car?

I definitely do not want the car to embed any infotainment. It's the wrong place for it.

Any infotainment built into the car is going to be obsolete before you drive out the dealer lot, and laughably so ten years later. But the lifetime of the car itself is many decades. It makes zero sense to join the two.

The car should excel and being a car and I will use a phone or tablet for the infotainment part (which I do anyway, even if the car has some).
There is also an issue with “it doesn’t compile? That’s a 0.” So you have students that may have written 90% of the proper code but can’t figure out the bug in their makefile, Java build, etc.

In the students mind they’re going to ask “is it fair to get a 0 when I feel close?” Then they (might) cheat. Obviously there are ways around this, like going in to office hours for help, but some schools start kids with C++, which seems like a wrong first language.

> I'd wager all of those things are still lower on their "low bandwidth" option.

I would argue that Google has thrown a bunch of engineering talent at it to optimize the problem as much as it can be for a web interface, and that Gmail is a bad example of a a SPA mail client, as it's more a combined mail client and IMAP server (really a custom designed mail store) all rolled into one. Whether Gmail itself really uses more or not is somewhat irrelevant to whether a mail client in general leans into the benefits a SPA provides. This is what I was talking about here.[1]

That said, whether it uses less resources is a tricky question. Sometimes there's algorithmic wins that overall reduce the total work done, and I don't doubt Gmail leverages some of those, but it's also just a huge amount of caching, whether in the browser or in a layer underneath. The benefit of a SPA is that you can customize the caching to a degree for the application in the client without having to have an entire architectural level underneath designed to support the application. For anything at scale, having that layer underneath is obviously better (it's custom fit for the needs of the application and isn't susceptible to client limitations), but it's also very engineering intensive.

My guess is that Gmail puts a very large amount of cache behind most requests, and is just very, very good about cache invalidation. Or they've got the data split across many locations so they can mapreduce it quickly and efficiently (but tracking where those places are will necessitate some additional resource usage).

In the end, you need caching somewhere. You can do it on the server side so that you have full control over it but you have to pay for the resources, or you can do it on the client side with some limits on control and availability, but you don't use your own resources. SPAs make client side caching more reliable in easier to deal with in some cases, because the working state of the client isn't reset (or mostly reset) on every request.

No, it's not going to load native libs, and 'jni' almost certainly does not work as normal, nio is widespread in java depends on 'native' buffers (actually native) and is a core part of Java.

There is a huge misconception here which really should be clarified in the title. Erlang has an "exactly equal" or strict equality operator, called =:=, which is different from just usual equality, which is ==. The usual equality operator will keep having +0.0 = -0.0, and floating point arithmetic will keep behaving as you would expect... It's that we no longer have +0.0 =:= -0.0, which is a very different thing (and frankly, makes sense - there should be some special operator that can differentiate between these two values).
Fair enough, but that more or less emphasizes my point: if it wasn't done by 2010 or so that means that a ton of IoT hardware has now shipped that may never see updates and that would possibly end up failing when presented with such a departure from what the expected behavior was at the time the hardware was shipped. You change old established standards at your peril, especially how IPV4 is routed and which ranges are reserved. There are quite a few things that retrospectively could have been handled better and a large number of huge ranges got handed out like candy back in the day. Some of those have been reclaimed and some still remain. It may be easier and with less chance of breaking stuff if those ranges were reclaimed more aggressively.
They could offer both like Microsoft does with Office now - and eventually everyone will move over.

It's easy to picture all sorts of specific bad things that might really be represented somewhere among a broader group we disagree with on some kind of ideological grounds, or, in your case, something they might do in the future! It's not useful, though, to describe these pictures every time a topic arises that just happens to be about that group (the group in this case being academics studying something that has to do with racism).
No. In WAL based systems new writes are appended to the write ahead log, and the dirty database pages held in ram. Periodically, a checkpoint process writes out all those dirty pages to long term storage, then truncates the write ahead log. So both these writes can be sequential. This is one of the reasons databases have the performance they do vs just using lots of little files like a database naively.

> the process of doing the bare minimum required by the job tasks and nothing more

Once upon a time, this was called "doing your job". I think this is why OP chose to say it was manufactured. It's telling that the term is "quiet quitting" rather than something which doesn't suggest someone is shirking responsibility ("job disengagement", "occupational disinterest", etc).

Talk of "quiet quitting" is an attempt from the management class to make the managed class believe they should be working harder after the latter realized they weren't actually seeing any benefits for their hard work.

To be fair - GarageBand is free, and while it’s feature set is obviously lethargic in comparison to Logic’s, I do like their philosophy of having kind of a free consumer and education version vs. a professional version.

As a teenager I very successfully followed the path of using iMovie and GarageBand for a couple years until eventually I outgrew the feature set and wanted more.

At the time; they sold what was called ‘Final Cut Express’ and ‘Logic Express’, which were essentially 95% feature complete versions of the software at a significantly reduced price aimed at the education and hobbyist market. It was a perfect little balance between affordability and power.

Best of all, you could, and still can; open up iMovie projects in Final Cut and GarageBand projects in Logic - allowing you to actually flex more power if you need it in existing projects.

This workflow was so fantastic, and I actually still use it sometimes when I’ve got musical ideas on the go and want to jot them down quickly with GarageBand on my iOS device.

Cost control is largely about correctly predicting costs. So teams that correctly predict costs will select lower performing but affordable instruments. Teams that fail at that may well under predict costs, over engineer their systems and end up with super expensive but super capable systems.
Yup, the US constitution, including all of the Bill of Rights, only started being incorporated after the 13th Amendment.

The 2nd wasn’t even incorporated until McDonald v Chicago in 2010.

I mean, Barron v Baltimore could not be more clear about this:

The third clause (of Section 9), for example, declares that "no bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed." No language can be more general; yet the demonstration is complete that it applies solely to the government of the United States.... the succeeding section, the avowed purpose of which is to restrain state legislation... declares that "no state shall pass any bill of attainder or ex post facto law.” This provision, then, of the ninth section, however comprehensive its language, contains no restriction on state legislation.

I already skipped last year due to an injury. I think it's better. I'm being careful about recovery.

I don't mean to be maudlin. I have probably five decades left to live, and much to do that isn't running. But there's a loss of a part of identity that isn't thrilling me.

>There is not much reason for SpaceX to reduce the price further, if demand is sufficiently inelastic.

Or they can't, because there are physical limits to the chemical rocket technology.

>There is room to reduce cost much further. Discarding the second stage is a large cost ... with full reusability costs should fall at least another order of magnitude.

Reusability is not a panacea. Falcon 9 is partially reusable and it is not significantly (if at all) cheaper than the competition. There is no evidence that full reusability will provide an order of magnitude cost decrease in prices. Fully reusable rockets imply that you're cutting into your cargo space (because you have to ship extra fuel for the decent), and maintenance is expensive and time-consuming. Don't get me wrong, there may be costs savings there, but not 10x, more like 10%.
No one associated with YC flagged this article; the mods didn't even see it. It was flagged by a large number of users.

> Some things are encouraged, eg being racist towards Chinese

I've poured countless hours into urging HN commenters to be more tolerant on China-related topics (as on all topics, but China-related ones have been common) and moderating and/or banning the users who won't. Here's a list that I put together for another user last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/chinamod. No one could read that history with even a glimmer of fair-mindedness and conclude that "racism towards Chinese" is "encouraged" by HN mods or anyone else at YC.

I've even had the honor of being "accused" (as if this would somehow be a bad thing) of being Chinese myself, because of how we moderate HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22608635). The funny thing is how similar that groundless accusation was to the groundless accusation you posted here. People simply make these claims up based on a small number (perhaps as small as 1, but we can be generous and say 2 or 3) data points they randomly run across and then misinterpret according to their pre-existing views. People with pro-XYZ feelings do this and conclude that the mods are anti-XYZ. People with anti-XYZ feelings do it and conclude that we're pro-XYZ. It's just projection, and works the same way in both cases. (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)
I've never seen a product/system that used XMPP as XMPP (i.e. in extensible form) beat one that didn't. Even systems that should have been a slam-dunk success, like Jabber (there was huge demand for an open-source messenger at the time). And every single big-name successful "built on XMPP" system has ended up switching to a closed model where they control both ends.
From the original post:

> One of the most profound memories I have from that school is of Ms. Susan teaching us to say "thank you" to the plants when we took a few of their leaves for the tea. We'd look at the plant, find some good leaves, pluck 'em off, and then say "thank you" and move to the next one

And the response:

> It's messed up for a school to get children to verbally apologize to plants. It implies that plants have feelings.

The followup to that is about the confusion/"these are the same things" for thanking something being the same as apologizing for that same thing - that gratitude is the same as remorse.

---

The difference is:

> Thank you for the leaf that I will use for tea

vs

> I'm sorry that I'm picking your leaf for my own enjoyment

The first example here is thanking (a plant) and the second example is apologizing for taking action implying feeling sorry for the harm caused to the plant.

I've noticed the exact opposite, in my experience GPT3.5 is more likely to make code that doesn't work correctly, mess up URLs and other strings, or forget about certain variables and not include them. It's also more likely to make up non-existent libraries and other code.

GPT4 in my experience has been much more consistent with it's results. It also doesn't seem to lose the context as quickly. And it can deal with more niche libraries a lot better.

Due to the lack of consistently I've found it difficult to use 3.5

I haven't tried it with LangChain type stuff so maybe it's different there?
