The concept isn't bad. It is true you should be able to answer these questions in 15-30s. It just can't do do what humans do.

Key Differences

- Follow up questions will dig into specifics of your business/model (this can't do that well... maybe an llvm?). This is where you want to take a bit more time.
- Growth is the most important. If you don't have growth you're not getting through (this isn't 100% true, but is a very good rule of thumb). The general order Profit > Revenue > Users > Interactions

The questions YC asks are very well known so there's nothing really truly new here.
Pretty perspective, but still so far to institute Docker.
This happened to me too! After a day of dealing with the router crashing every 30 minutes, I finally updated the firmware and am hoping the issue is fixed now.
And yet people keep asking what the point of OpenWRT is.
The B2 bomber case isn't a precise analogy. The hammer really was purely an accounting phenomenon. It's not that the first hammer cost $600. The first hammer was part of a collection of goods, of a wide variety of different values, that were billed as a single line item... and this was resolved, from an accounting perspective, as each item cost $600. In reality, most of the items only cost a few dollars, but a few big ticket items skewed the average.

Think of it like you're buying a car, and you have the dealer add in a half-dozen options & extras, and then they bill you for all of them, as a package, as a single line item. If you then said the cost of each item in the package, including the car, was worth 1/7th the price you paid for the package, that would be the equivalent of what is going on here.

I agree with you in that money's not enough to draw me away from where I live, but you can love where you live and recognize that you need flexibility. I think, all things equal, setting down roots is a great thing, but it can be hard for some.

My husband and I live in Texas as a gay married couple and have "exit criteria" where we'd leave if marriage were threatened, which is in the official platform of the party that controls every branch of government here. My extended family in different generations have left 2 different countries during various stages of dictatorship and unrest, so they are also light-footed despite loving where they currently live.

The higher paycheck, properly managed, can often buy you the freedom to exit a perilous situation for you and your loved ones. I can understand why some people prefer the high pay over a particular living situation, even if it's not for me. I'm choosing to set up roots where I am and be optimistic about the future, but I'm lucky enough to have an actionable exit plan for my family should the need arise.
And this is even true for some more exotic indexes where you might not expect it like exclusion constraints with gist. It’s much more expensive to maintain with a range as the first column and a highly selective id for the second column than the other way around (you want the highly selective column first)
Why would anyone who had such a powerful tool allow you to use it? But even if they did want to do that, who says they can scale the capacity up?
Nickel v1.0.0
There are already too many ELI5 explanations here. I will instead explain "attention" to those who are already familiar with seq2seq models.

In the context of seq2seq models, attention is a technique to compute a weighted average of hidden states of the encoder. When I first realized this simple fact, everything finally clicked.

In constrast to a vanilla seq2seq which takes only the encoder's hidden state at the last timestep as the context vector, the context vector of a seq2seq with attention is a weighted average of all hidden states of every timestep. The weight of a hidden state of the encoder is a similarity score between the hidden state and the decoder's previous output (the decoder's current state). The similarity function can be as simple as a dot product, but there are various ways to do it.

Attention can improve a seq2seq model because now the encoder's last hidden state doesn't need to well represent the whole input sequence, which is hard if the length is long — now the decoder takes at every timestep all the encoder's hidden states and computes an average of them with the weights uniquely different from the other timesteps. The weights at a timestep represent which input words are more important and thus to focus on when the decoder is to output a word at that timestep.

More generally, attention takes a set of values vectors and a query vector and computes a weighted average (or more generally, a weighted sum, if the weights don't sum up to 1) of the values based on the query. In the context of seq2seq models, the values are the encoder's hidden states and query is the decoder's previous output.
Interesting.

May be i am old fashioned but shouldn't hardware appliances be designed as standalone devices that have minimal external dependencies.

If there was no firmware update or patch applied -- the functionality of the device shouldn't change.

Do all routers these days "phone home" anyway and modify settings on autopilot? Even if user has chosen to turn off updates?
I was wondering the same. I suspect it has to do with the initial hack needing it since it relies on the general sibling selector (~) which selects all following siblings but no preceding siblings, so it is important to catch the very first element and all its following siblings:

li:nth-last-child(n + 5),
li:nth-last-child(n + 5) ~ li

I don’t think :has has such limitation and I think a simple :has(:nth-child(5)) would yield the same results as :has(:nth-last-child(n + 5)). :nth-last-child(n + 5) will select the first element among five or more siblings, and :nth-child(5) will simply select the fifth element if it exists. I see no reason to write the former over the latter when you’re just wrapping it inside a :has.
Nah, this is entirely our mistake. Our devices took away our ability to choose what we install, and now certain individuals get strongarmed like this and we lose our say. The shame is that modern society went 10 whole years thinking this was a smart move because Twitter wasn't shit and the news wasn't scary enough yet.
Great idea! Great realization!
It’s also dumb concern cargo-cutting in California. Even the limited number of burns that are authorized can be cancelled if the air quality that day is bad.
1. I thought Vice declared bankruptcy?
2. This appears to be a wall. Why do we think this is an animal pen? Usually, you would build walls to keep out other people.

I suspect the Neolithic people were more than capable of hunting and catching game without these structures.
Dunno. I only ever play games that require an internet connection. I doubt this is an issue for most players.

Thanks -- you have a good point.

Next time I look at my HN threads, I should have already set the first appointment.
so, why use SQLite in cloud? Why not Postgres or MySQL?
Actually they didn't pass a password so there's nothing secret in the shell history that needs hiding. You can also set the password as an environment variable in a file and load it at runtime. The benefit there is that if you use a shell script to load your settings before running your application, you have a universal method of setting and passing variables, because the script can call any program to retrieve the password in any way, and then pass the value via environment variable. Bonus that any application-deploying tools can now override the value too.

Security concerns around env vars being visible in process lists are mostly red herrings. If you can list the processes you've already got a memory leak, RCE, etc. Even if you can get the password it should be impossible to connect to the database from anywhere other than the application anyway. If you can read memory and connect to a database from where an application is running, you've got bigger problems.
Generally, since the memory is byte addressable, you load data which is packed into bytes. It is the compute instructions that use the specified bits needed.

So in this case one would load a byte which would have 2 4b data, and then you would have a 4b ADD or MAC which would operate on them.

If you don't have them then you need to sign/zero extend or convert the smaller bit-widths to 8/16/32b whichever is available.
That isn't entirely correct, your network path to the root servers can intercept your queries to the root servers and forge the results. This can include anything from the WiFi device, to the ISP to the backbone providers and maybe(?) the NSA if they have any taps on that path.
The idea of "harnessing" your time or energy is mainly just a completely different attitude to "unleashing" them.

Done right, you get a lot more done in the same amount of time pursuing the latter.

Especially if you're going to spend the time anyway.

I think for myself it comes down to feeling like you have purpose so that you can wholly commit to something where you’re so busy that you don’t have time to get yourself depressed.
I'm not taking the other side, but that's a really bad argument. You're missing a reason for us to think that traffic deaths put any kind of floor on firearm deaths. Given the very different usage patterns, I would expect the two numbers to be basically unrelated. If we try to get at the impact of licensing and regulation by looking only at cars (and we can get very different answers if we look at other things) we see that comparing US historically to US today or US today to some other countries today, safety improvements are probably saving more like 20 people per 100k - bigger than the entire problem that remains with either cars or guns (and "bigger than both combined" is well within the error bars).

And finally, if we can reliably save 1 person per 100k, that's a significant improvement for the 3k people we've saved and the people who love them! Whether it is worth what we have to trade away, and whether we can actually get a reliable improvement, is a separate question (whose answer likely depends on the particular policy proposal under discussion).

No one is saying that it isn’t a problem.

But there is an additional problem when a congresscritter makes a big song and dance about the “$600 hammer” and uses it as an example of government waste instead of using it as an example of dubious accounting that could be used to hide waste but probably didn’t in this case. This article is about the mythical costs and how they have mundane explanations that don’t really support the song and dance.
And AWS is there for the 5th 9, not Dropbox. therefore, Dropbox is not suitable or reliable for these kind of orgs, even with this custom built system they built.

One can have a custom built or an experienced IT team using AWS and achieve the same or even better availability using AWS and other providers that care about critical availability, if architected correctly.

Show HN: SaveDay Bot – The First AI Quick Capture Bot on Telegram
Wipe out Asus firmware and install something like DD-WRT to never have such problems again.
Hey folks, I made SaveDay Bot - The 1st AI Quick Capture Bot on Telegram for knowledge lovers who are too tired to manually find what they saved before.

I've been building this since last month because I am a product marketer who haves to read and consume a ton of knowledge and inspo every day but doesn't find a good way to save and retrieve my stufff.

I made a Telegram bot that helps you save everything for later use, from articles to web pages to your fav podcast episodes to even picture from local file. It also takes long articles and turns them in to easy-to-digest materials.

Some key features of our bot are:
- Quick capture multimedia (image, video, pdf, web page...)
- Search by how you think
- Get key notes any articles, youtube videos.
- No register, FREE forever!

Have fun, please try it out at https://t.me/SaveDayBot or simply search "SaveDay AI Bot" on Telegram! You can also find out more about our bot at: https://www.save.day/

I’ll hang out a bit here to answer questions as well.

Cheers, Tracy.
If... the sinking areas sink at the same rate indefinitely forever. Civil Engineering 101 covers soil compaction as a log function as voids are removed. 1-2mm a year turns to .1-.2 mm/yr after a few years, which turns to.. negligible sinking. The implication that the soil and bedrock are just oozing out from under the city is wholly unsubstantiated.
Minecraft most assuredly has done this.

It's basically just a game engine now.

I remember playing the brainy tekkit modpacks (which tend to have 300+ mods inside) that add a whole bunch of new mechanics to the game to the point where you're designing each piece of a factory and trying to put it together to automate resource collection. Then after a week once you finally have all the pieces created, and fuel refined, you can launch off in a rocket to the moon and beyond.

I remember playing the competitive UHC (ultra hardcore) servers. These were the inspiration for pubg/fortnight. Once you die, you're out, last-man-standing wins. 350 players would be randomly dispersed in a 10x10km world. And after 1 hour the world border would shrink in 1km every 10 minutes. If you were outside the border you would be teleported to a random space inside the playzone. What do you do to win? Create alliances? Head for the center to try and build fortifications to get the drop on players who are teleported near the center? Collect resources to build the best weapons and defences to fight people coming in with the ever shifting border? Sneak around to backstab a player and steal their resources? etc... etc... (Badlion UHC was my server of choice, there's some great youtube videos out there)

I remember playing in the casual fun mario-party style minigame servers.

I remember try to survive in the hardcore survival modpacks like the one where you're in a plane that's crashed in the desert next to an abandoned city, and you have to very carefully manage your heat/water while trying to scratch enough to survive while being assaulted by extremely difficult enemies.

I remember playing the nostalgia filled pixelcraft (literally just pokemon in minecraft).

I remember playing the challenging skyblock. This is where you're on a tiny island with a single tree floating in an infinite void, and you need to very carefully use your resources to expand your island to create your own world.

I remember the enhancement mods that just added new features to the game (biomes, creatures, dimensions, technology, magic, etc...)

I remember playing the adventure maps that creators would upload. These are worlds that are essentially read-only, and you're only allowed to interact with what the creator lets you. Essentially an adventure game like Legend of Zelda or Tomb Raider.

I remember just playing the base game with friends.

There's so much to love in minecraft and its mods expand the game so much further.
What about Mr Trump who was such a good friend, neighbor, and associate of Epstein for so long until their little disagreement over a small parcel of real estate?

Just because their close relationship ended before the internet got really going like it is now doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Do you have any sources for this? I am familiar with people who manage private properties on federal lands and nothing you said here passes the smell test to me. In particular, environmental groups have been loudly calling for better wildland management practices for at least the past decade, typically from the direction of considering and adopting indigenous land management practices such as prescribed burns.

It sounds like you're trying to scapegoat environmentalists when the recent tragedies were obviously the fault of PG&E mis-managing their assets and refusing to allocate more budget or personnel to manage what are obviously tinderbox scenarios.
This seems to be related to “ASUS Healing System” which I don’t even know if I have enabled or not.

That name already sounds creepy enough, but searching for that string (with the quotes) currently returns only 4 results, of people asking what it is. My guess is some sort of hidden backdoor, disguised as an ostensibly useful feature.

I'm convinced there are now multiple generations of engineers that have no idea that it is possible to write software that doesn't require over the air updates nor telemetry.

Have we all forgotten how Nest thermostats turned off the heat in the middle of January 2016 because of a botched software update? (Probably. It was hard to get Google to surface a link without a date due to so much SEO bullshit).

No, thats incorrect. The connections are automatically deduced from the training data (which is just vast amounts of raw text).
no shot anyone actually types this out, right? surely this must be generated by machines for machine ingestion.
My point stands, particularly w.r.t. individual software engineers. Do you think any of the companies you mentioned had one, or even two/three engineers build the complicated marvels you are talking about? Do you think they would incur the risk of that as public companies? I am willing to bet the answer is 'no', particularly in this day and age.

The point of the original question isn't whether products as a whole are complex and hard, it's whether an individual engineer will get to do fairly large, complex systems.
Innovation is "attention", not just "self-attention" (cross-attention for ie. translation <<encoder>>, self-attention for generation <<decoder>>).

It's general computation model, does't have to work on text only.

It's also general in the sense that you can mask it - ie. with lower triangular matrix so future doesn't influence past (decoder, generation); leave it unmasked (ie. in encoder, ie. in text translation you want attention to have access to full input text) or anything else really.
It’s not necessarily the engineers. Product and Leadership needs the telemetry in order to justify the expenses for their department or team or whatever and therefore justify the existence of those engineers.
Correct, and something like a pinhead is enough to kill a human. I don't know if it can be rapidly uptaken through skin though in any of the street forms.
From what? A free product? Do you know how much compute it takes to run a single request?
Seems to be working out for them (Ably) and this isn't a public billion dollar company like Dropbox.

I would have thought that given Dropbox's engineering talent, they would have designed a system that would account for 5x9s and even making that guarantee for enterprise or mission critical customers.

Can't even find their SLAs anywhere for these customers, so I presume that Dropbox doesn't care about them.

Guess I was wrong and this is just disappointing and made the move not worth it.
The system prompt could be part of the reason. OpenAI changes it from time to time without a word. I get much more helpful answers using the API, being able to write your own system prompt makes a world of difference.
