> far too many windows of awkward sizes

Hmmm, actually it’s usually the case they have too few windows because windows (carpentry to house them and the actual window) is far more expensive than just having a wall.

But you’re right, they’ll often have a window that is incoherent with the rest of the house and/or in a weird spot when viewing the home from outside.
Aaaah it started working the same day I paid for (and cancelled) ChatGPT Plus and I probably missed the waiting list email!
Can’t wait for a foldable iPhone 4-6 years from now :)
You said: "…[I] wonder if I should keep my mistakes to myself"

You know your code is buggy, that's not an honest mistake. So fix it, don't hide it.

BTW, I don't agree with how your manager told you that.
There are a number of valid engineering reasons for thermal dissipation why you don't want to overload the heat producing things in a 1U server beyond what it was designed for.

This article doesn't mention at all what the max TDP of each gpu is, which makes me suspicious. Or things like max tdp of cpus (such as when running a prime number calculatio multi core stress benchmark to load them to 100%) combined with total wattage of GPUs.

If you have never built an x86-64 1U dual socket server from discrete whitebox components (chassis, power supply, 12x13 size motherboard, etc) this is harder to intuitively understand.

I would recommend that people who want four powerful GPUs in something they own themselves to look at more conventional sized server chassis, 3U to 4U in height, or tower format if it doesn't need to be in a datacenter cabinet somewhere.
completely agree. ESPECIALLY if you have children. they can piggyback of your subscription and they wont get fed those horrendous adverts while they're searching for tutorial videos.

Its how the kids learn faster these days.. tutorial videos in small bites about specific subjects.
ChatGPT Trading Algorithm with 500% Returns in Stock Market Backtesting
The amount of people paying with patreon is just so so tiny compared to people watching YouTube in any country or city that I am not even sure what your point is.

> Why cant YouTube figure out how to get that money people are clearly willing to part with?

What does this even mean? I hope you are not suggesting in good faith that YouTube should grab money from other companies somehow? Money that was given to that company by people with specific expectations in mind.

What exactly is YouTube failure here? The patreon citation is just so irrelevant because of scale. Taking all of Patreon revenue would not cover YouTube hosting costs.

People on HN love to talk about patreon as an alternative to youtube premium because it is an easy way out. But if it was representative of real world actions, Patreon would be processing a lot lot more money.
Correct. Also, at 1x (which is what matters the most on desktop & mobile for me, I think) the bottom-most extent of the "leg" is not far enough down. There is too much orange under the leg. There should be more white at the bottom. The Y is getting crunched or fuzzed out at 1x. The Y is not prominent enough. The whole point is the Y. It used to not look floating like this. It should be crisp and clear and that trademark shape.

"A" for effort and constant improvement and all that, but iteration required, I think.

A weird observation: At first, I didn't know how the "the Y is too fuzzy" problem (that I never had) could have been solved with a visibly much fuzzier replacement (shouldn't even say fuzzier, since the original was unfuzzy for me). Then I realized, I think it might have to do with solving the "fuzzy when zoomed" problem, without sufficiently regression testing the "do not degrade the non-zoomed look" checkbox. And, maybe SVG is good for large images, but not great for tiny ones (like this "Y" at 1x). Or something like that. I never zoom HN, so the fix does nothing for me, but I do notice the regression. I hope the feedback can be integrated somehow.
I don't feel it's absurd.
For every product in the market there is a luxury version for people who's insensitive to price (hello LVHM!)... except for phones.

If you have all the money in the world the most expensive / exclusive phone you can get is an iPhone, Samsung Fold, or this Pixel Fold.
> and fake news such as defined (openly and publicly) by the courts, on a case by case

And you see no problem with that? You see no problem at all with these judges essentially declaring anything they don't believe in to be a crime?

Besides, this law is mostly irrelevant. It's serving only to make it painfully obvious to all brazilians and the whole world how far gone this country is. This law is merely an attempt to legitimize what the judge-kings are already doing ever since last year's elections. Censorship is already unconstitutional and they don't give a shit. What's a little law to people who get away with unconstitutional acts? It's nothing... If this bill doesn't pass, they can just enforce it as if it had passed. They're the supreme court. No one's above them. The law is whatever they write in a document because police does what the document says.

> goal is to prevent another January 8th (Brazil's January 6th).

Protests shouldn't be "prevented". People have occupied Brasília before and no one spoke of "preventing" anything back then. Even Brazil's communist parties spoke out against the government's framing of the protesters as terrorists because it will obviously come back to bite them in the future. It's likely that the acts of vandalism were a false flag operation anyway since there's leaked security camera footage showing Lula's people assisting the vandals.

> and what is this newspaper about?

I apologize for that. I wanted to post a better one but this was the only english language source I found covering this bit of news at this point in time.
And not just stop you or refuse to activate the card, but to intentionally cause the hardware I purchased to irreparably malfunction as long as I attempt to use something you didn't sell me.

Of course, I can use a USB wifi card, no problem. Just the convenient PCI card inside the system that is specifically designed to enable a wide variety of functions aside from wifi that is locked in the BIOS just in case I wanted to use a 3rd party card of a specification that you don't happen to sell.
This is the way.

Total bliss.
Let's be real --- ad blockers don't have a setting to let through one ad every 30 minutes.

I agree the number of ads is absolutely shocking, which I'm reminded every time I see someone else play youtube, as I've had a subscription for about as many years as it's been available. My time is absolutely worth more than whatever I'm paying to skip these ads.
I'm quite interested in a folding phone but at that price it needs to have the latest and greatest compute power.

Hmm... Shift from an open office into a display box. Perhaps quieter, but it's going to be harder on the introvert to not feel like they're on display. And if you cover the windows, you'll find out the how claustrophobic team members are.

What's so hard, y'know, putting offices in offices? If it means less people per square foot, there's a few well-tested solutions that can be used. Singleton or pair-offices can't be that much different than pods in terms of floor space, but enable privacy for knowledge work. Which, supposedly, is an important activity for HN readers.
Inflation rate eases to 4.9% in April, less than expectations
A decent idea and great execution is often enough.
Noted. I am used to the binary logic in this sort of topics.

I did not mod down your initial response.
I work in ad-tech. The tech to make ads unblockable has existed for years now (server side ad insertion makes ads indistinguishable from content because they're delivered through the same gateway in the same video stream thus bypassing DNS/network and DOM based ad blocking).

However, it's still rarely used because sufficiently capable users with advanced adblockers do not make up enough lost revenue over the increased infrastructure cost.

It's been fascinating watching Google lag in this area given the amount of engineering resources, market share, and platform control they have. We in the industry theorized that they'd use their dominant market position with Chrome and Android to protect their ad business, which is why they didn't invest much in unblockable or required ads. But it appears it's not for lack of want, it seems like it's just poor execution and unexpected diminishing market share.
> Algos to solve those both exact methods and heuristics are super useful in real world applications, and very underappreciated by the HN crowd IMO.

If you are in the HN crowd, the 'opposite' direction is useful:

Know that effective generic solvers exist for these problems (but don't worry about how they do it), and re-formulate many of the trickier problems you encounter in the languages of these solvers, instead of eg writing your own bespoke algorithm to assign tents at the company picnic.
Are they comparing CHatGPT 3.5 with GPT4 or ChatGPT4 with GPT4? Because you can now select GPT4 when using CHatgpt.
This is not comparable to Netflix et al. YouTube catalog is effectively infinite, and people watch all kinds of random content. Storing 10k movies and 20k TV episodes is a cakewalk compared to this.
If the mechanism is not known, what do we know? Since almost everyone got covid, in what sense do we know this is at all associated with covid?
Grainger has a local rep and that makes a big difference for us. We are always biased towards local support, even when there is a reasonable price differential. It can save your bacon if you have any questions/problems before or after the sale.

It's usually much easier to identify music if it has lyrics/words.
I'm personally willing to listen if you think the research papers on the mRNA vaccines that were used to justify releasing the vaccines are flawed, but you have to present an argument against those papers and not just cast aspersions based on a generalization you've drawn from other research papers that had much lower stakes. Presumably the researchers in question on these papers knew the cost of getting it wrong and were very careful. I think you can certainly criticize it here but you have to bring receipts.
Newpipe.
I guess that works if you want your jobs to run on a schedule; I prefer push-based (you make a commit, you push it to the central copy of the repo, and it automatically triggers jobs).
Oh no, I didn't mean moderators are biased. I don't think that is the case at all.

I was making the point of the HN users. Specially the characteristic of downvoting and negating criticism in this case.

You are right though, because I strongly feel about the anti competitive issues Apple indulges in, maybe I visit those threads more and tend to notice them.

Although, I think there is a positive bias as well, which I care less about. Like one of the commenter mentioned that Final Cut Pro being launched on iPad was the top post through large parts of the day.
I don't like paying for premium, but at the same time I have been able to do things I never could have on my own, save tens of thousands of dollars in DIY projects, etc. My fear is they will raise the pricing and boil the frog.
I wonder if running PiHole would be a good work-around?
There were a few reasoning benchmarks that I noticed think they omitted a direct comparison since they weren't as competitive compared to GPT-4, and instead opted to just show the benchmarks comparing itself to other versions of PaLM or other language models

HellaSwag: GPT-4: 95.3%, PaLM 2-L: 86.8%

MMLU: GPT-4: 86.4%, Flan-PaLM 2-L: 81.2%

ARC: GPT-4: 96.3%, PaLM 2-L: 89.7%

It's rare to see Twitch ads because they don't have very much ad inventory. But if you happen to be a rare match for one of the few ads they have, you'll see that same ad over and over and over again.
Even just arranging UI elements around a page could be done with these solvers, instead of coding up heuristics to satisfy your constraints by hand.
Twitter Blue Pricing Algorithm:

1. Fire anyone with pricing strategy experience.

2. Generate a number between 8 and 50,000.

3. Multiply that number by the number of followers your

4. Divide by 500,000.

5. Throw this number away.

6. Pick a random number based on a comment by an NYT

to publicly rage-quit Twitter.

7. Repeat every time you meet someone in the hallway or
one of your rockets explodes.

Why is character streaming important if Bard seems to be faster generating a complete answer than ChatGPT?
Your comment is a masterful exhibit of an imperial thought, deciding for the conquered people that their independence is "untenable", because after all those people are just "criminals".

Might have as well thrown in some other classic Russian quotes about Chechens having "no morals, nothing to distinguish them from wild beasts" (that one is from 1824).

Of course you're blind to how Russian imperialism creates and perpetrates this condition, blinded by imperial greed to acquire and hold onto the lands, while being always brutal, after all they are all "beasts" and "criminals", Chechens, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, whoever else the eye of a conqueror falls onto. Happy that the other countries dropping bombs somewhere else give you a carte blanche to bomb hospitals and apartment buildings methodically and with glee. Being proud of bringing more suffering into this already troubled world.
If you look closely at what those studies actually survey and how that data is collected, it's clear that many possible co-morbid conditions aren't adequately filtered out. There is _no_ objective test or evidence-based protocol that can conclusively diagnose "long COVID." Doctors must rely on checklists of broad symptoms and the patient's word. The CDC page you linked mentions this under "Data for Long COVID:"

>For example, some studies look for the presence of Long COVID based on self-reported symptoms, while others collect symptoms and conditions recorded in medical records. Some studies focus only on people who have been hospitalized, while others include people who were not hospitalized.

Can serious health conditions can arise as a lasting consequence of infection? Absolutely. Can we easily distinguish between those and other symptoms or conditions which may arise out of stress, anxiety, other unrelated conditions, or symptoms which in some (not all) cases may be psychosomatic? Can we accurately draw conclusions as to how many long-COVID patients there are in total, then apply that conclusion in other areas with confidence as the GP commenter has done? Not yet.
This article is from March. Is it somehow newly relevant today?
I think the secret sauce is just bucket loads of cash to spend on compute.

And because of this I don’t buy that AI is an existential threat to Google at this point. If they were really worried they could spend a tiny portion of their ~280 billion dollars in revenue to train a bigger model.
> Theoretical advances are constant (just check the literature)

* for some arbitrary definition of “constant”

Some people throw the word “constant” around quite freely.

Scientific and mathematical advances are notoriously hard to predict. “Constant” is the last word I would use.

One simple model would be spaced in time according to a memoryless stochastic process while having “impact” scores sampled from an exponential distribution.

Of course, one could include more realisticish dynamics to the model, such as network effects and clumping (e.g. from funding priorities and “ideas in the air”.)

I feel like some areas of computer science tend to correlate with deep statistical appreciation more than others.

Speaking of the topic of stochastic behavior in general, it feels to me like (a) randomized algorithms and (b) better statistical simulations have steadily been gaining traction in algorithms and data structures.

I don't disagree that YouTube has a much longer (and fatter) tail, but that doesn't mean they can't benefit from edge caching.
I can see that you expect Russians to be better people than Germans or Americans, while having worse prior history and being overally more poor and miserable.

That would be a noble expectation, but you could predict that it will not be uphold. Maybe because it is not possible in practice, or at least highly implausible.

Russans, in general, are people. People go to war when told to do so by their superiors. People rationalize what happens in the moment, to reflect on it and be outraged later.

If you were doing that in a good faith, good for you, but as you can see that's not how the world works.
> YouTube premium perfectly showcases why ads dominate the internet, because even when there is a paid option for a service much cheaper than any alternative, people do not want to pay

There's also a factor of quality and trust. I don't trust YouTube Premium enough to even try it. This is mostly colored by their constant, invasive disruption of my YouTube experience (particularly apparent on mobile) with YT Premium ads. Yes, I know it exist. No, I don't want it - the more you try to trick me into activating the trial, the less I want it.

> So what is the alternative? (Peer to Peer for streaming doesn't seem a reasonable alternative at any scale, since most people own phones and then laptops, and much fewer desktops).

Proper ad blocker on the desktop. yt-dlp for archiving/off-line playing. NewPipe or some other alternative YouTube players for mobile.

Yes, I know you meant a non-free-riding alternative, but hey - I have no problem paying for services, even for premium tiers when free tier is available. But I'm not getting bullied into subscribing.
On Android, there are a number of solutions, like NewPipe (YT client) and Seal (downloader).
> Expensive energy may have killed more Europeans than covid-19 last winter

What is the point of this comparison?
Just got done watching all of the seasons again (for the third time). I keep forgetting how incredibly sad the last few episodes are. It's a gut punch every time especially knowing the reality of how many of the actors have passed on since. One of the only shows that properly ends and gives a sense of closure. Almost too good.

One of my favorite shows of all time. Excited to watch anything that's even remotely related to this.
You can delete your watch history after every session or have something automated do it for you. That will work fine if you only want to watch the content you subscribed to.

If you want better recommendations though you may have to tolerate some things that you may consider "spying".
I don't have any evidence, but that's the premise of the article. Whether it is evidence based or not was not the topic of my comment.

But to answer your question subjectively, yes, in my experience cheaters will cheat. If they used unethical methods to get hired that's a strong indicator that they will also cheat their way to raises and promotions.
Microsoft made a big mistake by restricting Bing to Edge. I liked the new bing but I am not gonna switch my web browser to try it. If I could try it in Safari, I might have made it my default. But Microsoft wants everything, and in the process might have lost it's biggest chance at a big search gain.
Not sure what it is about memtest86, but in my experience it doesn't find most memory errors. I've had serious memory issues, that trigger memlogd, dmesg, or similar about EDAC/ECC errors. I try memtest86 over night, no errors. Restart the node and get more errors. This seems to happen most of the time, only in the rare case can I reproduce errors I see in a production system with memtest86 reports.
I managed to smuggle applications of those solvers into a few jobs.

Eg at Goldman Sachs I used mixed integer linear programming to reshuffle the assignments of particular departments' computing needs to specific data centres. Before I got my hands at this, people used to just do it manually and hadn't even realized this was something were you could optimize systematically and squeeze some efficiency out of.

If you have an eye for it, you can find similar opportunities in many areas of many companies. Assignment / scheduling is actually extremely common, if you can recognise it. It's also relatively easy to show an improvement that you can measure in dollars, which always goes over well with the business folks.
Paywall sites allow google in but not you. That will change if no traffic is given.

Yeah, it's been possible for a while, but the barrier to entry for it was high. Like you said, the scale of the problem is what's changed.
I would get to the same answer via a slightly different path. Their corrupt leaders sold their country to Russia and they pulled it off by exploiting their constituents with anti-nuclear fear mongering.
> The search if pathetic!

How odd. I think Thunderbird's search is it's most amazing feature.

Maybe that's because I'm a programmer. It can do a multi keyword stem search on literally gigabytes of emails, and return the results in 10's of milliseconds. It looks instantaneous. It's genuinely shocking to me how fast it's inverted index is.

And ... the results are accurate. It's so fast I sometimes have doubted it, and checked the result with grep. It's always right - and grep is much slower. Outlook in comparison, which is one of the few other desktop email clients remaining standing, is just terrible - it's search is slow, inaccurate and so feature bloated you never can be quite sure what corpus it's considering. And it corrupts itself regularly. But I guess comparing it to Outlook is setting a very low bar.
This is just too expensive. Google is used to get all the content for free.
That was more about Google/Microsoft crying about not being given absolute freedom to do whatever they wanted with somebody else's IP.

Google even banned AGPL at one point from its code hosting platform - it was that upset with open source.
Yeah, for gaming you need headphones that use some proprietary protocol, unfortunately. BT just doesn't work well.

It's not as noticeable for people who never talked on a real landline phone (i.e. not VoIP) because everything else has noticeable and often non-constant latency.
