Just wanted to say thanks as well. I host a private Jitsi server for my online teaching. It took a bit of effort to set up but worked well for me since.
That really sucks you were put in that position.
I just recently read that heat pumps are beating gas furnaces already and on the price trajectories of renewables will be winning easily in the future.

We won't need to focus on the hard things as long as we have sufficient easy things to get done first. For instance I don't think replacing jet fuel is something we should be prioritizing over bringing renewables to developing countries.
egress charges if you have a lot of data.
I definitely wouldn’t expect Solaris to be widely known among modern mainstream moviegoers. But when I hear “underrated sci-fi movies” I expect the context to include mainstream critical acclaim. Like if you had a list of “underrated professional table tennis players” you wouldn’t just include all the best players since most people are aware of few if any professional table tennis players.
Here we go with this good versus evil thing. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t put any corporation on any kind of pedestal whatsoever. But when I hear a good versus evil, it doesn’t indicate to me that the speaker is thinking clearly; it seems like they’re thinking imprecisely.

I could be wrong; you could have a religious view that suggests that Satan works his malfeasance through corporate influence.

We’re seeing human nature at play in the context of organizational dynamics. That’s hardly evil.
As a hypothetical pro-Russian user, why would you ...?

Because as a troll, your goal certainly isn't to be popular. It's to dilute the narrative, and wear people down. For which getting dogpiled is just par for the course.
I’m not an expert so others can weigh in, but as far as I know, temperature is only part of the equation when it comes to battery life. I know pressure build up is a thing which can stress the battery. There could be more factors.
Note that WMF has very little relation to article editing. And login problems are likely because you are using some kind of VPN, which is also something the trolls like to use, so it frequently ends up in ban lists. It's a hard problem, because trolls are much more determined to (ab)use any privacy feature that is out there than legitimate newcomers, and unfortunately most Wiki admin teams lean towards solutions that ensure less trolls even if it means also more barriers to entry. These people are almost always volunteers, and handling trolls is not an activity they particularly enjoy, so that's the source of the bias.
I don’t think it’s a these days thing at all.

I think it’s a human thing and every generation has to deal with the fanatics or believers or whatever you want to call it of their time.

We’re in a time where a great number of people are extremely religious without having any idea they are. The people that live by what their screen tells them. If you didn’t see some of this in the last three years that there is religion without it being labeled as such, I don’t know I’ll be able to reach you now.
I wonder what the performance is on English specifically.

Helping sommeliers inventory wines faster with Whisper, DuckDB, and Metaphone
The unfortunate thing is that large stretches of California desert (and much of the Central Valley to the north) used to be lake bottoms and have incredibly rich and fertile soils. Between that and a long growing season that's nearly cloudless, you get ideal growing conditions -- rich soil, lots of sun, low moisture (i.e. low disease load), and H2A labor -- provided you can control the irrigation. Ah the problems caused by mispriced externalities...
Are you not thinking of capitalism as it exists today?

Wanton military spending, bank bailouts, corporate tax cuts, etc. seem to be very common when money can buy legislators.
Sorry, but _even as a physicist_ I think the idea that the expected returns for society of discovering some other obscure standard model particle are trivial to nothing. Literally useless knowledge and only of interest to a tiny minority of people (of whom I am a part, I admit). Like seriously. Consider: how has anyone's life been improved by the discovery of the Higgs? By the absence of Supersymmetry?
> Strings are a de facto religion within physics.

I don't think string theorists are being unreasonable by not having changed their minds yet, given that no evidence has come out one way or the other.

I don't think we can extrapolate from "string theorists didn't update when presented with no evidence" to "string theorists won't update when presented with evidence".
this is absolutely true, with pytorch, llama, ton of models in vision and now with this !
I wonder if the supplier can similarly have the detailed data on the customer and how that helps in negotiating both ways.
Well, sure the US could decide to nullify the treaty. This would almost certainly be abysmal for Mexico/US relations. Suddenly when the US want's Mexico's help to do something, Mexico will be much less willing. Not to mention the people living along the border that need that water to survive. What will they do when they start to get really, really thirsty? I'm betting it won't be sitting on their hands waiting patiently for the US to turn the water on again.

If tensions get really bad, sure the US armed forces could probably take Mexico in a fight, but then what? What good would that do the US?

It would be a pretty idiotic thing to do, but sure, it's possible.

For my use case, I also use the hosted version. It's worked great, and as Zoom tightens the belt on meeting duration I am shifting more of my meetings to Jitsi.

ReMarkable Connection Utility (RCU)
I remember back in the early 90s there was an expansion for SimCity 2000 called the Urban Renewal Kit, which let you draw your own building sprites to replace the ones in the base game. It also came with a pre-made pack of futuristic buildings.

I was too artistically challenged to ever really make my own pixel art buildings - the best I could achieve was drawing little six-pixel cars driving up the spiral roof and into the reactor of the alternate-art nuclear power plant. It would've been great to be able to give style prompts and have the software churn out appropriate sprites for each building type.

There are similar situations throughout the developed world at the moment. Here, we have a huge shortage of housing, and rentals. We are trying to bring in labor to help build more units, however, we do not even have units for the additional labor.

>we should very much define

the people whose freedom of choice you are taking away for the good of society, are part of society, are part of "we," and the majority can't take their freedom just because it's overall good for that majority.

What you did is take a part of "we," made it "them," and made them the enemy. Don't do that.
> The premise of AGI isn't that it can do something better than people, it's that it can do everything at least as well. Which is clearly still not the case.

I imagine an important concern is the learning & improvement velocity. Humans get old, tired, etc. GPUs do not. It isn't the case now, but it is fuzzy how fast we could collectively get there. Break out problem domains into modules, off to the silicon dojos until your models exceed human capabilities, and then roll them up. You can pick from OpenGPT plugins, why wouldn't an LLM hypervisor/orchestrator do the same?

Worse user experience depends on your priorities. Some people and companies think privacy is an essential UX factor. Apple, the most successful company in the world from time to time, agrees.
I think this argument is frankly quite ignorant. The only adversarial nations that maybe have the capability to build these systems are Russia and China. Russia just got sanctioned to hell and the Chinese government is limiting their AI development more than we are. By far the most gung ho country about developing AI is the United States and its tech sector. Bringing up the CCP strawman is just an excuse for less government oversight over what the industry itself has been saying is a dangerous technology for months now.
Cobalt is not a rare earth. Changing sources happens gradually, mostly not overnight.
Ohio passed a law that allows one of counties, townships, and cities to ban "green" developments. I'm not sure if other states have passed similar laws, but I wouldn't be surprised. This makes it trivial to stop any new solar or wind development (ofc, natural gas and coal are not impacted by this law). This has made it so that major solar developers have stopped even considering the state for new developments.

So it's completely possible that people are going to be willing to pay a price premium to ensure the demise of civilization and perhaps humanity.

Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Neurotech Age
> AI development requires expensive, specialized hardware.

Does it though? I can run LLaMA on my desktop. Training requires hardware which is more expensive if you want it to run quickly, but it's in the range of tens of thousands of dollars. That's not beyond the means of many individuals, much less organizations. And in a few years it will be hundreds of dollars.
Ok, some apartment dwellers. There's several popular metro areas where a long commute is pretty common.
It might appears unfair from Apple's side to take advantage of their position. However, hardware manufacturers do not resemble naive and exploited children. Commoditized vendors experience pressure to zero their margins from their largest customers. Every big customer does this (Wallmart, Google, Amazon, etc.) It's textbook business strategy.
Zoom costs money beyond 40 mins, unlike Jitsi. It also doesn't require anyone to have an account, or to install any software. These are key differentiators in my book!

I'm not gonna do another deep dive on the org structure, because I've done it before when these topics come up ( like this one half a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33640817 ), but I'll provide my overall view as a 10 year engineering veteran at the WMF who has fought many battles in this org, which you can take or leave:

There are problems at the Foundation, like there are everywhere. Resources are not allocated as well as they should be, which is also common just about everywhere. However, by and large, the money is put to good use, and the employees of the Foundation are doing good and necessary work, and there's no way to run today's Wikipedia on today's Internet for anywhere close to $3M/year total organizational budget, so it's pretty disingenuous to use that as a comparison point.

Go look at budgets for any other org which runs a top-N important site on the Internet for comparison. Consider that we adhere to stronger values and principles around rights and privacy and open source, all of which /increase/ our operating costs.

WMF runs on a shoestring, relatively-speaking. WMF just had a ~5% layoff over budget reductions ( https://blog.legoktm.com/2023/04/05/wikimedia-foundation-lay... ) in response to a community outcry about our fundraising. We (the engineers) regularly run into budgetary and/or priority constraints pursuing new useful SRE-level projects that increase scalability, reliability, or directly improve user experience (e.g. latency for readers and editors, rendering speed, better APIs for various consuming parties, more edge caches, more hardware redundancy, etc). We also don't get paid industry equivalent rates, or get the stocks or bonuses that we'd get elsewhere.

You can make all the arguments you want about some past or present form of grift at some upper organizational levels, but I'll still contend that most of the money is going to good use, that it's very expensive to run Wikipedia responsibly and reliably, and that the foundation doesn't have the cash pile necessary to stop relying on donations for the long-term sustainability of its projects. Even if the budget we have was allocated perfectly, I'd still be arguing that we need more to do the job right.

Successful companies overpay suppliers all the time - especially if they're growing very fast and are focused on scaling growth over cost efficiencies.

Large companies who've already scaled up their products are more incentivized to focus on cost cutting.

It won't lead to desirable outcomes for the country, but it will lead to desirable outcomes for the Tory's increasingly fascist oligarchy, presumably.

Johnson was asked directly about workers rights prior to Brexit and said that we would improve them and that it was so totally wrong of Remainers to assume any rights would be eroded... and no-one paying attention is surprised to find that was a lie. But it probably worked for a small margin of voters in the referendum.
The problem with all these model releases is they have no demos or even video of it working. It’s all just download it and run it, like it’s an app.
To me, the authors opening remark seems misleading at best. But of course criticisms of capitalism must begin by ignoring their hypotheses under a different or past regime:

> One of the most salient archetypes of our current period is called “success to the successful,” which fairly well describes twenty-first-century capitalism

The implication being this is some new facet of our modern society, and not a part of past ones.

I can’t think of a time period, especially when considering a global scale, when the authors claim of “success to the successful” was not true.

In fact, I would say it is less true than ever before. Note that this isn’t the same as saying it does not apply now. Before the internet what opportunities existed for someone in say, rural Africa, to teach themselves skills to obtain success. Now? Marginal, sure, but absolutely present.
Aren't electric cars thought to be a big part of the battery/storage solution? You can charge the cars at night and draw power when other consumers are peaking?

I think the trajectories for solar are so strong that we will stop talking about any lack of energy in one or two decades.

Case in point: Germany will build 13 GW of renewables this year, which offsets those last 4 GW of Nuclear which were switched off this year.
The latest Quest firmware has an “update before shut down” option that should help a bit, but it’s mostly a band-aid. The Quest Pro comes with a dock and just stays silently updated and charged, which seems the best way to go.

As far as the cartoony games: that’s actually the “fault”[1] of Unity/Unreal Engine which powers quite literally 99% of Quest titles (you can count the titles using other engines on one hand). VR studios are hyper-indie and don’t have the budget to build out games that look different, especially when that cartoon style lends itself to higher performance.

1. It’s not actually the fault of Unity/UE: Red Matter 2 is built on Unreal but looks spectacularly better than most other standalone titles.
You simply can't desalinate water at a rate sufficient for agriculture.

Long term, does this effectively mean just more expensive produce for LA, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix regions while agro business in the rural farming areas suffer? I assume population increases will be mostly unaffected because of the relatively smaller fraction of usage compared to agro.

>"Average human level" is pretty boring though.

Lol ok. Still human level. and GPT-4 is way above average in most tasks.

>Computers have been doing arithmetic at well above "average human level" since they were first invented.

Cool. That's what the general in agi is about. GPT-4 is very general.

>The premise of AGI isn't that it can do something better than people, it's that it can do everything at least as well.

as well as what kind of people ? experts ?
That was not the premise of agi when the term was coined or for a long time afterwards. Posts have shifted(as they often do in this field) so that that's what the term seems to mean now but agi was artificial and generally intelligent, which has been passed.

There's no difference between your definition of agi which is supposed to surpass experts in every field and super intelligence.
(/me looks around at comments)… The logical fallacies abound. It is nice when people think slowly and deliberately. It doesn’t seem to happen often. Much of what is happening here seems to be emotional reactions followed by attempts at reason. Glad to know things are about the same, otherwise I might be worried that the HN conversation is progressing too rapidly.
> I've been thinking about interviewing for jobs that I don't plan on getting, just to get a better offer and force my boss hand, does that sound like a decent idea?

What happens when your boss says no to matching your new offer? Do you quit? If not and you keep working, do you think your boss will overwork you/push you out afterwards? And then you'll have no job.

Really this situation boils down to how much risk you're willing to accept, how willing you are to leave your current job, and how much you value being paid market rate.

Money is just part of your comp. Would you take market rate salary if it meant an in-office job with un-decent hours and a not-nice team? I hope not!

People on here talk about job hopping constantly to keep increasing salary, but while that may work for them, is it what you want to do?

Can you try something like: Asking your boss what it would take to get the raise you asked for? Are there milestones/a timeline in place? Can you get anything today?
When writing C, I tend to avoid calling malloc and free directly.

* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/mandelbrot/blob/master/memory....

I then apply this same principle of "opening" and "closing" structures throughout the application. Generally, I can quickly verify that the calls are balanced:

* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/mandelbrot/blob/master/threads...

What's nice about this pattern is that the underlying implementation of exactly how the memory is maintained for a particular data structure (e.g., whether malloc or gdImageCreateTrueColor is called) becomes an implementation detail:

* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/mandelbrot/blob/master/image.c

The main application opens then closes structures in the reverse order:

* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/mandelbrot/blob/master/main.c

This means there's only one call to malloc and one call to free throughout the entire application (third-party libraries notwithstanding), allowing them to be swapped out with ease.

Aside, logging can follow this same idea by restricting where any text is written to the console to a single location in the code base:

* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/mandelbrot/blob/master/logging...
