You have to take into account that Japanese do not place nearly as much emphasis on human-to-human relations as much as the west does. Things like kaiten sushi (revolving sushi) and advanced vending machines are popular because customers don't have to interact with another human being.

A particularly advanced line of vending machines that recorded and recommended drinks to you even garnered unprecendented levels of love from its customers because they felt it was more relatable and comforting than an actual waiter.

Pachinko parlors being a space where it's just you and the machine in front of you (and all the noise around you) is thusly a positive factor rather than a negative one.

In general, Japanese just don't like dealing with humans if it can be helped. Interacting with machines is by far preferred.

Well, chips needed for AI training/inference are lot more simpler than general purpose CPUs. Fabs have already demonstrated 7nm process with older DUV tech for such chips. They can brute force their way through it – at least for mission-critical use-cases.

The other weaponisation plans. The one about undermining western democracy and society. Yes that’s it, the one where we target our own population. No not intelligence gathering, yes that’s it, democratic discourse itself. Narrative shaping on Twitter, the Facebook groups bots, that stuff. The material happytiger was talking about as fact because obviously they wouldn’t make that up. Thanks.
leaked key seems worse in that people will think they have this security measure working for them while they don't. Without this measure there is no illusion at least

CO2 heat pumps are an interesting trade-off. I think Sanyo used to make them and they work well but never get the best SCOP values, tho I don't think they are far off.

Their major benefit obviously is that the refrigerant has a GWP of 1. Instead of several thousand for the mainstream gases.

So say an air-to-air home heat pump with about a kg of refrigerant could release couple of tons of CO2e in case of a leak or an unknowing/caring worker cutting the pipes without properly collecting the gases during the dismantling.

This could easily negate the lifetime atmospheric CO2 savings of that heat pump.

Whereas in case of a heat pump using CO2 it would be a non-issue.

Haptics were part of the web spec but scammers abused them (making the phone vibrate to simulate a virus alert or whatever) so the feature got disabled in most browsers I believe.

It's officially supported on all platforms except for Safari (big surprise there) but for browsers supposedly supporting the spec on MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/VIBRATION_A...) I'm not getting any vibrations our of demo pages I can find online.

Edit: actually, it only seems broken in Firefox and Bromite now, Chrome still has vibration support. Firefox seems to have lost vibration somewhere during development of the rewrite that also took away most addons, so I'm sure it'll be a few years before this bug gets fixed.

Still, with Chrome supported, that's the majority of mobile devices out there fully supporting vibration patterns!
That’s great! Never seen this library before. It’s much neater than the other approaches I’ve seen/used.
Is anyone suggesting that there is a 'horror' happening here? I've never met anyone who sympathized with her, and I live right near Theranos HQ. Mostly I hear entrepreneurs lament how much good they could have done if they'd had a fraction of the money she conned out of investors.
It's actually insane. Work just swapped me in a new laptop, and of course win11 was the image.

It's an 8-core xeon. When I'm away from it, it sits at about 8% CPU. about 2% of that is random company tracking crap. about 6% of that is "windows defender advanced threat protection CE"

This thing runs regular expressions against all your files, looking for data patterns the company wants to flag. Not really viruses, but "let's scan this 4GB TCP dump to see if it has a social security number in one of the random byte patterns.

I store infrastructure config dumps from huge storage arrays, vmfarms, VIO, etc. lots of stuff to scan. It unzips files. It scans encrypted 7z files. The fan is on low and the laptop is warm when I'm not using the computer.

Now thankfully, they just record filenames, make my AC run a more, jack up my electric bill a dollar a month, decrease the life of the laptop by a year, and nothing more.

I did a gig at a hospital during covid lockdowns and those guys were nuts. Anything that could be an SSN or patient ID stuff under HIPAA would be blocked from email, blocked from being sent in a web page, and saved in a document after recording the reason in servicethen. Thing like array serial numbers, vendor support case numbers, etc. I thankfully got the h out of there in under a year, but the people there learned to live with it. Support call? That's a call. Need to email something? 7z it, encrypt it, rename the file to .renameToDocx. Vendor emails would get thrown into a bit bucket. Downtime galore. Staff morale non-present.

Policies of course set by middle management. When things failed the technical staff and vendors blamed. 2 stars on glassdoor, but mostly from the nurses who got 20 hour shifts and a decrease in pay.

Microsoft is not doing anything. They are providing solutions to meet the demand from their customers. Their toxic, incompetent customers who are on a powertrip at work to compensate for lack of control in their personal lives.

VW's cars existed and were drivable. In fact owners of their cars were probably pretty happy with the product they had purchased till the scandal emerged. Theranos' product never worked in any way that anyone, consumer or regulator would have deemed acceptable.

VW has other products than their diesel cars. Theranos had nothing but the non-functioning diagnostic.
In the light of the Google "moat" document, this would appear to a cynical attempt to monopolize the field before it gets going.
I suspect that he knows that this is a 'local maxima' as someone put it, and the field will stagnate once the size and attention of models approach the limits of available computing resources. He wants others kept out of the field not only because they could beat him but because he would wants to horde available processing power.
I watched the hearing, but didn’t read the article, and I was going to say. These comments are far more vitriolic than I would have expected.
The unemployment statistics which are just about the lowest they've ever been. Technological productivity improvements reduce unemployment, not increase it. AI is just about the opposite of something that'd cause mass unemployment.

Oh wow, not news.
begs the question: where is our robert bresson in our hyper-banal modernity?
Absolutely. Your relationship with yourself is the best thing you can develop to take care of yourself. After all, who better than you to ensure future you is taken care of? On the other hand, the people around us are everything. Life is nothing without others.

Apart from nurturing a constructive relationship with ourselves, for ourselves, it’s critical to do it for the people around us as well. I don’t think it can be understated how important and worthwhile it is to be intentional and mindful about it.

Someone noticing you get car sick might seem like a small matter in passing, but that’s the fabric of what makes our relationships. Like you said, it’s all cumulative. I think it’s absolutely worth taking a moment to contemplate that or note it away somewhere.
KDE3 languished and lost a lot of users because they were so focused on the KDE4 migration. Then KDE4 came out and it was resource heavy and "overly aesthetic" so even more people jumped ship.

Meanwhile, GNOME did the exact same with GNOME3 even harder, but people had in their mind that the community would fix it or that KDE just had to be worse.

KDE kept trucking along; optimizing things, cleaning up and addressing complaints, not ballooning resource usage, etc. So now they're the refined and lighter option, while GNOME is overly opinionated and resource hungry. The only complaint I hear from non-user's today is that it feels old/last gen. But that's the appeal to me, I don't want "new gen" if it means touch oriented interfaces and dictated themes with overly simplistic applications.
Yes yes fellow consumers! We must impose an artificial monopoly to protect ourselves!

Only one company can be trusted, their competitors are evil. We must ban them.
Interesting, I just hope you won’t “recognize” those experts based on arbitrary metrics (like git commits) or phony experiences (like TED talks or popular “content creators”), instead, having a better system in place.
> Sam Altman estimated that the cost to train GPT-4 was about $100 million. Not only is this not tremendously expensive, it's pocket change for thousand of corporations around the world.

I think he said it was more, and that was for a company already capable of creating GPT-3.5. The only company capable of it, in fact.
Maybe look at container hosting with your (statically linked) binary being the only thing in the container?

Otherwise, why not just get a cheap VPS and host the binary there? I’ve used Vultr and it’s $3.50/month all-in, at the low end. There are even cheaper providers, although I don’t know about their quality. I bet this option would be the cheapest.

This is the beauty of a single binary—it’s trivial to deploy!
The overall feel is halfway between good & great: Push the output to a CRT & it feels like something that would've been on a well-crafted BBS back in the 90s.

Font size needs to be made adjustable though, IMO. Each character's taking up too much space for my own liking.
The (ZFS) snapshot approach mentioned above might be useful?

That would make sure the important files are still available (even over smb) by going to the hidden .zfs directory inside the zfs file system.

I'd probably do something like create a new ZFS file system on your server just for these special files, move them into it, snapshot the file system to ensure they're preserved, then make the filesystem available over the network via a new SMB share.

That's just a rough first idea. If you're changing those special files much, then some kind of automatic timed snapshot thing (maybe with expiry) would probably be useful too. aka cronjob
Yes, when they decided to install ChromeOS on their computer.
Good to see heat pump tech being pushed forward in all sorts of applications. I didn't even think about using CO₂ in car applications.

I have a CO₂ heat pump hot water system (integrated by this Australian mob - https://reclaimenergy.com.au/ - but I think the heat pump unit is an OEM Japanese one) and it uses a ridiculously small amount of energy compared to my old conventional electric system (somewhere between 1.2 and 2kWh typically vs 4 to over 6kWh per day - and the new system also has a tank 2.5 times bigger than the small one I had before, which is so much better, and I probably use some more hot water than I did previously since it’s available). I have solar and it’s timed so it basically always is entirely, or almost entirely powered from that, so it’s gone from using more power from the grid than the rest of my usage combined, to now using almost no power from the grid.

Yes, it was a bit pricy but should only take a few years to pay back.
Definitely read Mythical Man-Month, which describes how adding more people may delay a project due to communication overhead ("why did the Tower of Babel fail?").

I was thinking this article would be an example of that, but actually while Mythical Man-Month mostly assumes that new team members would share the same visions and goals, this article takes a more adversarial view where new team members are assumed to come with their own agenda. I believe it's a form of cookie licking[1].

I think a big moment in a programming language's evolution is to become self-hosted; you use the programming language to write a compiler/interpreter for the said language.

I want more than just accessory dwelling units. I'd be excited to see, like, properties where the front yard is replaced with 4 parking spots and 4 of these 500+ sq ft houses are put with each other pointing to a shared courtyard or something on a standard quarter-to-half acre plot.

I don't think the big house needs to be there at all!
I've always found the tone on r/antiwork to be immature and ineffectual.

It's telling that the vast majority of posts come from people working in jobs that would typically be taken early on in someone's working life, i.e. wage slaves. You don't really hear much from people who are established in their careers. It's true that wage slave jobs typically aren't very rewarding, but it's also true that most people have to work in unrewarding jobs for awhile until they gain the experience necessary to move up.

It appears to me that the folks in that forum feel entitled to skip over the whole part where they "gain experience in the world".

Not only that, but I've seen a repeating theme in which a manager makes a request of someone, and their response is utterly devoid of tact. Instead of just saying, "Oh, sorry I can't do that" or even just not responding and saying that they were busy and didn't see the message, they feel the need to become adversarial and "stick it to the man". I would argue that not only is it more effective to "take the high road" in such situations, it also takes less effort than adversarially engaging with your manager.

Like instead of starting a message with, "I already told you last week that I planned <some thing>, and in fact, I quit." Maybe instead try something like, "Hey, I'm so sorry, I can't tonight. I have that <some thing> at 7. Maybe Carter can cover the shift?"

I wonder if this opens up the addresses for reuse? As these could potentially allow many types of attacks. Or even accessing other accounts.

Data can be deleted, but if gmail addresses can be reused in just 2 years that is rather short...
Love the idea of boring culture. Just wanna say that these things are really measured when the company is not doing well, when you can't get another funding round or a competitor just eating your customers.

Healthy culture is measured when things are hard.
This is amazing, the physicians rate it better than answers by other physicians across the board. The only exception is sometimes it gives some irrelevant information. You might think this means the AI has more chance to give harmful information but they checked this and no, the physicians think the other physicians are the ones who give more harmful advice.

> "We developed this model using a combination of an improved base LLM (PaLM 2 [4]), medical domain-specific finetuning and a novel prompting strategy that enabled improved medical reasoning."

> "The PaLM 2 pre-training corpus is composed of a diverse set of sources: web documents, books, code, mathematics, and conversational data. The pre-training corpus is significantly larger than the corpus used to train PaLM"

It sparks joy in my heart that this AI doctor, who answers medical questions better than actual physicians, is almost certainly trained on 4chan greentexts and shitposts.

> "Interestingly, we see a drop in performance between GPT-4-base and the aligned (production) GPT-4 model on these multiple-choice benchmark"

This is not interesting if you know about GPT-4. When they lobotomized it, it became worse at everything except refusing to answer some questions.
Even if Intel design something similar to ARM, legacy wins. It’s not replacing mobile OS any time soon. Just like ARM isn’t replacing the Windows ecosystem soon.

As others have said Intel failed. There were Intel phones back in the days. Maybe they should have kept going even if it lost money. Maybe not. Who knows.

Not to mention Apple isn’t moving regardless since they were 1 of the founders of ARM.
At the government department I work for in Australia, we had a new CEO come in at the end of COVID lockdowns and order all staff back into the office full time. The mandate lasted 2-3 weeks before it was retracted due to staff reaction.

I firmly believe that the CEO only issued the mandate as he was told to do so (almost everyone has a boss).

The department has now adopted flexible working arrangements beyond just working from home. As a result, the workforce is happier, all be it some parts of management are still slow to evolve.

Stories like this will keep happening until we evolve to the new ways of working. Just because we did something for 50+ years doesn't mean there aren't better ways of doing something. Mostly I just statements like this as people living in the past, refusing to adapt to a changing world.
Sure, but their default is usually GNOME3 these days. And there's always a ton more effort towards making the default work seamlessly.

Kubuntu is notorious for having issues trying to fit the "Ubuntu" way and not quite getting it right. (Font/theme issues, primarily) Fedora's KDE spin is pretty decent, but that's mostly because it is bog standard aside from the logo and RPM/dnf integration. Outside of those two, you're better off using a KDE-primary distro in most cases.

invasive species invade an ecosystem and mess up the ecological balance. Many species go extinct and a new ecological hierarchy is formed and the landscape changes. Isn't this what has been happening for eons? How did marsupials get to Australia from America, how did horses take over the Eurasian steppe, there are many example like that. Who are we to "manage and conserve" biodiversity? I don't think we have the power or the right to do that. just my 2¢.

The BYTE AI issue posted recently on HN was exemplary in terms of scope and interesting articles.

Like others here I particularly appreciated BYTE's magnificent understatement that "Some attributes of [the Xerox Alto] will be used in the next generation of personal computers."

BYTE even managed to include advertisements that were likely to be of interest to the magazine's readers.

I enjoy a couple of the (very few) surviving computing enthusiast magazines such as Linux Format, and I wish there were more of them - especially if they were like BYTE and its peers.
Ok, let me put this another way: we're approaching the life expectancy of a programming language, and something like 3x the life expectancy of a framework, and so far all this tech has to show is a knack for separating dumb from money and driving up grid electricity rates globally. A sizeable percentage of the "best minds" in fintech have made serious attempts (backed by huge stacks of cash) to make something out of this to no obvious benefit. You'll get no argument from me about the bullshit tech hype mill and the churn that results from it.
