Agree that this would be interesting, but your proposed solution would not address people not agreeing on facts, I think. People often (many on this site) say that they don't believe government inflation figures, or that underreporting of crime makes crime rates meaningless.

That’s why it was so helpful to them when Biden was elected, he immediately implemented policies that futures traders felt spelled decrease in supply both short and long term, that along w the war in Ukraine made for a very successful year.
That makes sense, someone copy-pasting async code into a JS console would get errors not too long ago.

There's nobody to blame for this but myself, just wish I discovered earlier on how async/await works, along with other modern JS stuff that you won't see everywhere because it's new.
Then fork, extend, plugin, whatever.

Chrome also still allows uBlock, etc. (myself on FF though)

Govts also use the JVM or Linux: did those projects suffer?

I think FLOSS is for all: the good guy and the bad guy (in whomever's eyes), its about freedom not control.

Why would you assume there aren't idiots who use Mastodon? Why would you make a broad a generalization about all Mastodon users?

There's dolts on HN (myself included probably), but not everybody is a moron. Twitter was the same story.
No, you don’t get to define the benchmarks like that. People use an OS so they can run real-world programs on top of it, not spin it in a loop and see how fast it can do IPC. In a monolithic kernel there’s no need to switch contexts for many things; that’s the entire point of using one. I’m sure that seL4 has a perfectly fast implementation of those operations but that’s because it sits and does those all day as part of its basic functionality. Optimizing overhead doesn’t win you extra points when you’re comparing against an OS that doesn’t have it all.
The government owns the majority of the unimproved land in the US. The government does not own the majority of the warehouses in the US. For instance, in my state, the majority of the land (40 million+ acres) is owned by the government. Another 20 million acres not owned by the government is unimproved. The majority of both those quantities is not merely unimproved but not being utilized for anything at all - not even livestock. (It's desert - very expensive to produce most livestock out here.) And it's not even in the top five states in terms of area. In some places not far from here, land can be purchased privately for $5 / acre. I think you underestimate just how much unused land there is in the USA.
Absolutely, but that doesn't mean I pay nothing out of pocket for healthcare.
I feel your pain but unless your startup has a decent revenue inflow any changes to permanent costs, which should read salaries, are difficult to justify.

You obviously need a strong and motivated team to build something great. But - in the current conditions - if you are unsure as a founder when the new round may come any increase to salaries may not be taking you to product market fit and a stable revenue stream.
Writing summaries of documents and correspondence is one of the major use cases of those models. Desensitionalization and debullshittification are very similar to summarization, so it stands to reason LLMs should handle these tasks just as well.
While you're at Adafruit, pick up an arduino (preferably an ESP32-based one like a Feather) and a string of programmable LEDs and you're off.

Adafruit has great tutorials and once you get everything wired up, any professional developer won't have any trouble getting it working.
I wonder how much of an impact this will have - Musk will effectively still have his front and back seat, with both his roles as CTO and executive chairman.
I think a very large percent of them had a nonzero value, but the issue is if you can get 4% guaranteed return on cash, vs risky 1% return on cash suddenly the asset is worth less than before.

But if you can get unlimited money at 0% you might as well invest it on 1% return bets. You're still making money on others' money.
Well, there was the Pixel C in 2015. It was Android based and went nowhere.

Then there was the Pixel Slate in 2018. It was Chrome OS based, and also went nowhere. If you bought a Pixel Slate, a new Google tablet has been five years in the making.

Except that the Pixel Tablet isn't really a replacement. It's back to Android, and this time, no keyboard or pen options in sight.
What's an example of fusing operations?

Are you talking about combinations of operations that are used commonly enough to warrant Eigen methods that perform them at once in SIMD?
Considering the number of Android devices in the world, I'd say it's clearly the most usable smartphone OS available.
No pen/stylus?
I am on my fifth iPhone. I easily sold/traded in the previous four after replacement. In two of the cases, I ended up making a profit!

Further, in each case I did so after three to four years of use. The one exception is an iPhone 8 I a) bought used from Sprint/T-Mobile, and b) traded in after 18 months to the same carrier for an incredible deal toward a new iPhone 13; otherwise I would still be happily using it.[1]

There is no way that any used Android phone, even the most expensive flagship model, would ever be worth anywhere as much. And that's not including their lack of software updates. Meanwhile, the iPhone 5S I sold in 2017 after four years of use believing that it would soon lose software updates a) did not lose active support until 2019, and b) still is getting security fixes (the most recent four months ago)!

[1] More happily than the iPhone 13, really. I hate Hate HATE Face ID.
I think GP was talking about FTX in this case.

Uber also seemed a bit like a house of cards but I guess it’s pulling out of that.

Yellow cabs for me.
Where are they making you buy a brand new car? That seems like something I'd have heard rancorous complaints about if it was actually happening.
> It's the land of opportunity, not the land of guarantee

Absolutely.

> most people not making it

By any metric, there's at most a handful of countries where the median person is as well off as in the US. I struggle to say that most people aren't making it here; or if they really aren't, then not making it in America is better than making it in most other places.
How similar were the object to other objects?

E.g., were you trying to distinguish an object vs nothing, a bicycle vs a fish, a bird vs a squirrel, or two different species of songbird at a feeder?

How much would the training requirements increase or decrease moving up or down that scale?
Founders at YC have an expected return of ~$0 (most fail, moderate success only pays preferred shares and common gets $0, power law returns). https://jaredheyman.medium.com/on-the-life-and-death-of-y-co...

Early employees often invest $ (cheap salary) but they don’t get preferential shares for their money - that’s a hell of an uneconomic trade.

Sure, early employees get to do “Startup University”, however the strictly better deal is to become a founder and do “Startup University on Steroids” (even though expected return is $0 for founders).

Ideally you can bootstrap a startup and retain 100% of ownership. A small pie you win, is better than a slice of big pie you failed to win. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35472121

Almost every UI for LLMs I've seen has a way to specify an initial prompt that never goes out of context, it's strange that it's not a feature in ChatGPT.
IMO you should consider putting Converso in the title of your blog post so that it shows up when people Google, as a warning.

I just checked and your blog post does not come up in the results for Converso.
I posted to get ideas and maybe help other startups. We dipped a toe into posting on Reddit. Targeted community, sharing a white paper, asking if people wanted to share their pain with us (we're still trying to learn). Got modded to oblivion. I thought we ticked the right boxes, interesting info (IMHO), being transparent about who we are.
Ah yes, student jobs in towns without students. Makes sense.
No mention of it supporting Google’s Kids Space out of the box, which is the ONE killer feature the Android tablets have over iOS in my house.

We are currently using throwaway Fire Tablets with Amazon’s version but would migrate to the actual Google version if we could with a reasonably good device. We’d even sooner swap to iOS but they don’t seem to want to support that use case.

Note: Son is non verbal and autistic, so tablets are learning, play, and communication for him. Kids space helps him navigate.
So in essence, someone else should pay. Just not me. Real solid plan
I’m a staunch proponent of “if someone misunderstood you, it’s your fault for communicating badly” but I can’t fault Matrix here.

What happened is not “Matrix accidentally made it sound like they sell your message history to governments”. Instead, what happened is “Matrix said they enter business contracts with governments to sell services that they offer for free to citizens”.

The impression that message history was somehow being sold only arose as a last-ditch Hail Mary attempt to provide some theory, however unlikely, for making sense of how anyone could get that mad about that. It was not proposed by anyone who’s mad at Matrix, it was proposed by outside observers (who are not themselves mad at Matrix) who can’t otherwise understand how anyone could be mad at Matrix.

The missing piece of information is that there are people mad at Matrix in roughly the same sort of way that there are people mad at Dunkin Donuts for selling donuts to cops. (Arguably there is some more principled take, that government employees don’t have the right to unbreakably encrypt communication, since it might be communication done in the line of work and should therefore be transparent in case of corruption. To be clear, I don’t see that particular principled position being voiced, and I am not taking a stance on that position either way.)
You've thrown out many subjective terms here: "catchy", "relevant", "sensationalist", "essential". How do you intend to define these and hold yourself accountable? How are you planning to keep your biases or the emergent biases of the underlying tech in check?

"just hand it to OpenAI and :shrug:" is not a responsible answer.
Initially I was rather confused and had indeed thought they were selling encrypted messages to police/government for SNDL (store now decrypt later) purposes.

Though regardless, them so adamantly supporting the very organizations who want to destroy them is never a good look, especially when a lot of people run to encrypted messaging as an escape from government censor to begin with.
Clearly several people have no idea what you’re talking about, so either you’re bad at explaining or everyone around you is an idiot. I’ll let you decide which option you think is more likely.
And you're ass-pulling non-facts on the comment section of an HN post instead of doing pretty much anything else.

Reads like when I prompted ChatGPT for well-known, large and public projects written in C#. Yeah you’ll get a list, but it’s not a very exciting one and fizzles out after about three entries.

Or, more properly, I want the most experienced professional (for anything) that I can find and afford. Age is a rough proxy for that, but it isn't ironclad.

I'd prefer the 60 year old who has been working on cars since they were 20 over the 30 year old who started at the same age. But I'd also prefer the 30 year old who has been working on cars since they were 20 over the 60 year old who started at 55.
Ads get higher CPCs / CVVs on iPhone. Much higher compared to Android, when everything else is the same (country, gender, etc). If I were to pick one reason for iOS-first strategy, that would be it.
Not to mention order of magnitude reduction of the amount of fresh air per passenger allowed to enter the cabin. Not to mention that the flight attendants used to be registered nurses; now they might not even know how to work the oxygen bottles.
This is a surpassingly stupid story; some random person on Mastodon is upset that New Vector (the Matrix/Element parent) contracts to governments to run Matrix. The complaint is silly. Governments use word processors, spreadsheets, and databases, too.

We'd be better off just not having a thread on this than recapitulating social media drama here.
Joking aside, as someone who runs their entire saas off a single bare metal server in Las Vegas, I have been toying with the idea of pushing some stuff to the edge. The reason being, sometimes those average load times are not giving you the real picture. If my average load time is 560ms per request because 90% of requests are 400ms and 10% are 2 full seconds, that might be a problem. Fixing those 10% requests and bringing them down in line with the rest would equate to an average speed up of only around 100ms.

However, I'm not yet sure a complicated edge deployment would actually fix the 10% problem.

The most amusing was when you start something and by some minor things you understood what the thing is doing something weird, in a good sense.

Later it was when a win32 app announce what it has a merit just by being not a square one.

Bezels are actually pretty useful on tablets because of how they're held. But I agree in general the specs are just a tad underwhelming. The display is LCD as well, which is a bummer.
Govs use Red Hat Enterprise Linux, is Red Hat inherently bad? What else would they use? Fucking WhatsApp like the UK gov during the pandemic?

Nope. Profit is what remains after wages and any other expenses, and is shared between owners or shareholders.
depending on what you mean by Needs, i actually disagree. For example we could all be a lot richer with automation ... it seems the price of goods typically plummet once they're automated and saturated. Eg: food, iirc food production uses like 95% less people than in the past and is cheaper than it's ever been (practically free, and the very poor can get it for free at foodbanks etc).

I do think if we automate the production of lots of things the price will eventually drop as economics says it will. The hard part is the things we cannot automate but also need.

The 1:1 at least had some rationale given UK VAT and greater expenses. But this is 50% more expensive ($499 is £399 at current rates). And why use different rates for the Fold than the Tablet?
What are "divergent sources" anyway?

On anything that matters, all sources just copy AP or each other, and maybe splice in some random tweets. Once you're looking at a topic where the news source is providing some kind of opinion, it's a clear sign you're dealing with some thoroughly irrelevant bullshit non-issue, and closing the tab is the best thing you could do now.
This is not good advice. If you are just doing paint-by-numbers projects, sure. But they usually come with the parts. Being blocked on a lack of parts is not a good use of your time.
That's not the only task it fails at, though. Just the one that I found the most interesting when it comes to broader implications because of so many self-contradictions in the output.

Broadly speaking, I haven't seen a single complex example yet where the output was comparable to GPT-4. How close it is to GPT-3.5 is debatable - the overall feeling that I get is that it's better on some tasks and worse on others; this might actually be down to fine-tuning.
Loss for some is gain for others. SBV could be a charity disguised as a predatory trust fund.
But ZIL is a cache, and not usable for long-term storage. If I combine a 1TB SSD with a 1TB HDD, I get 1TB of usable space. In bcachefs, that's 2TB of usable space.

Bcache (not bcachefs) is more equivalent to ZIL.
I would like a tool that looks at a spreadsheet, figures out what the raw data is, and computes the other cell from the raw data using Python, possibly using NumPy, Pandas etc. At my job I am turning spreadsheets into Python programs.
Messaging not messages.

I prefer that the government, including police, uses open source software and protocols. Taxes are spent better on that than on proprietary software and platforms.
I used to love riding taxis because the drivers had such great personalities. I remember when a Jamaican guy in NYC told me all about the OTHER drug users driving around. He didn't have to worry about the rating system, so he was free to share all the dirt. It was a much better time. I wish more cab drivers and uber could tell me to fuck off.
Are you curating the list of publishers somehow? I would imagine the AP/AFP newswire repost circuit/echo chamber would result in overestimating importance of a lot of crapola and underestimate the importance of investigative pieces for example.
Yeah. London is great when young and going out to do things all the time, sucks later on though. In London I definitely felt like I was living paycheck to paycheck, but moving to a European city with better services (but probably less culture), rent for our 3br flat in the city center was cheaper than our 1 bed in zone 6 - and taxes are much lower.

Now 9% of my takehome goes on rent, and I have no idea how I could ever go back to the UK. The energy bills alone are mind boggling, and every time I visit it just feels like it slips further and further behind the times.
The 2 party system’s okay. It’s not the worst when it’s working alright. Right now it’s not great lol.

But this system has survived 227 years or so for a reason.

At the end of the day the Senate was actually a bulwark against extremism in these last elections in many ways.

I’m not sure what you mean by takeover of power as if there’s some sort of cabal out there. There’s a lot of different vying interests out there and some have more power than they should, and this isn’t our shiningest moment in general, but I don’t necessarily agree that there’s been some sort of “takeover”.
It says it supports USI styli but not prioritizing it for the price they are asking seems like a bad move in 2023.

Maybe if they break FTX's finances and spirit with this enforcement action it will both give the people willing to pull shenanigans like this pause to do so and also give investors pause from putting their money into obvious scams.
When I calculate the post-tax income for $240k USD in SF it comes out to $155k: https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-tax-calculator#SLKSX....

$120k is also an underestimate given that the top tax bracket in the UK is only 45%. If you apply that, you get $132k (Still an underestimate). $132k is roughly in the same ballpark as $155k.

It's not like the difference between the same income in the US and UK is 50%, and even if you were on $120k USD net that's the same as the median gross income of a SWE in the US.

I don't understand where "not that much" is coming from.

A Google Nest Hub Max is $229. This seems like the upgrade pick at $499, which lets you use it as a tablet, too.

I don't know...

Let's say you have 6 drives in raidz2. If you have a 1% silent failure chance per block, then writing a set of 6 blocks has a 0.002% silent failure rate. And ZFS doesn't immediately verify writes, so it won't try again.

If that's applied to 4KB blocks, then we have a 0.002% failure rate per 16KB of data. It will take about 36 thousand sets of blocks to reach 50% odds of losing data, which is only half a gigabyte. If we look at the larger block ZFS uses internally then it's a handful of gigabytes.

And that's without even adding the feature where writing one block will corrupt other blocks.

It's not even about malicious code, it's about blanket eval'ing a whole tree of rb files, which may contain anything from mistakes to legit but side-effectful code.

Neither of those have such side effects:

Android tablets generally feel overpriced right now for what they offer compared to Apple's ecosystem. There's one exception: Lenovo's last gen pro tablet got a small refresh. It's the "Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2" and it's absurdly affordable compared to the competition right now (~$270). It's got a 120hz OLED display, great general-purpose performance (my previous tablet experience was Samsung's budget S6 Lite, which was a little sluggish and had a worse display.). I'm super happy with my purchase so far.

Downside: the compatible pen Precision Pen 3 seems to be unavailable right now.

[edit: looks like the price has gone back up to $399 in most places. I'd still consider it a good alternative at that price, but if you can pick it up on sale at under $300 it's a no-brainer]
Wow. You're talking atomic scale stuff, but ignoring obvious things like oxidation occurring during an explosion. :/
