> which requires constant capital.

So you're saying passenger rail can never provide enough value to people to justify the constant influx of capital? Cool, thanks for making my point.

> providing a valuable service doesn't mean that it can be directly financially profitable

No, it literally means exactly that.

> Like literally any public infrastructure ever?

You literally said that Japanese high speed rail is profitable. Why change tracks (pun unintended) when I point out the inaccuracy?

> That's literally one of the major points of a government, to build infrastructure everyone needs and will use.

No, but let's not diverge from the fact that rail is the worst, most inefficient mode of transport in history.

> Roads, bridges, airports, railroads are capital intensive and rarely if ever profitable on their own in the first decades of their use.

Yes, and out of those only railroads are the one which are never profitable, even after 10 decades of constant technological advancement.

> Unless you're advocating for personal teleportation devices for everyone

I'm not advocating for anything except not wasting taxpayer money on inefficient, unsustainable transportation.

Well, yeah. It's been around for years and chatgpt is new. My years old GPU doesn't run the latest games either, and chatgpt is novel technology so the hardware will of course lag behind a bit. But it will come.

>> It's critical to compensate non-profit employees near the market rate otherwise you end up with sub-par performers

I hear this all the time for not-for-profits and government roles, it sounds good but just doesn't hold up. The leaders in these roles are not measured or held to the same metrics as private companies, they're not competing for the same jobs and they're not the same pool of candidates. The results prove this out: the metrics and tenure of "high paid" bureaucrats are no better than lower paid leaders at the orgs. The "we have to pay the same high comp to get the same high quality leaders" fallacy is misleading.

Funny how you only get the people crowing about how it is a bubble after the fact.

If everyone knew it was clearly a bubble, it would not be a bubble.
As another commenter said, viewing a neural network as a computation graph is how all automatic differentiation engines work (particularly reverse-mode where one needs to traverse through all the previous computations to correctly apply the gradient), and there were several libraries predating Tensorflow following this idea. The initial contribution of Tensorflow and PyTorch was more about making the developer interface much cleaner and enabling training on a wider range of hardware by developing a bunch of useful kernels as part of the library.

The problem is, what is a democratic global government? Larger states dominate smaller states in democratic governments all over the world simply because of numbers of votes. Having yet another layer of elections over it doesn't really make much of a difference.
Brother is less bad and I still recommend them, but they're not not shady.

The starter cartridge that came with my laser printer said it was empty after 500 pages. I found a way to reset the chip from the printer and am still printing with the same cartridge a year later.

That said, it now works with Linux on WiFi and has not given me any other issues.
"let bindings" were present in ML in the 70s; I'm not sure whether they originated there or go back further. They've been used in many languages since, particularly those drawing on ML as a significant inspiration. It's not new, it's just borrowing from something you're unfamiliar with.

Trying to figure out how AI thinking looks sounds like a dead end to me. Its not human, you dont understand it, so whats the point? Especially when you have to worry about getting manipulated. Alignment this way seems indeed impossible. But given the ability to produce language that makes sense it should be possible to emulate the human thinking process by looking how that actually works on a practical level. Same way you dont care how the brain actually works to produce language.

As such i see no hurdle to get something to emulate the thinking in language of an individual. Assuming that there arent actually multiple realities to see, just different perspectives you can work with. Which would mean we are looking for the one utilizing human perspectives, but not making the mistakes humans do.

Which makes this so scary, the limitations are just a byproduct from the current approach. They are just playing the wrong game. Which means i am pretty confident they already exit somewhere.

edit: In this context i believe its also worth mentioning what Altman said at Lex Fridman, that humans dont like condescending bots. Thats a bitter pill to swallow going forwards. Especially since we require a lot of smoke and mirrors and noble lies, as an individual as well as a society.
The State Department is maximally non-neutral, they are explicitly looking after American foreign policy interests. That is their raison d'etre. It simply is not possible to be less neutral than the State Department. They're as not-neutral as the US military.

Those corporations are not exactly shining examples of neutrality, but by simple virtue of being multinationals which do business in many countries, cooperating with and abiding by the laws of many governments, they are more neutral than the State Department itself. They are not explicitly and overtly set up to serve a single particular government, although there is good and ample reason to believe they covertly do so. I don't think anybody believes these corporations are strictly neutral, but to claim they're less neutral than the State Department is quite absurd.

> Why's it treated as being a "per page" subscription?

Because that's easy to reason about. A page is a page, no worrying "ok, this document has 10 pages, but there are some big graphics, what percentage of the ink is that using".

> Doesn't that favour subscribers that use the printer to produce full-page, full-colour images at maximum saturation? Doesn't it disadvantage people who want a page of text?

Yes it does. Unsurprisingly, people in the first group are more likely to like and use this model, instead of buying ink cartridges.
> additional benefits like company car, more holidays, bigger pension plan contributions and stock options.

Are you in Europe? I've never heard of management benefits like a corporate car or additional holidays for management (both middle and upper) at both startups and massive publicly listed tech companies in the US.

In fact, benefits seemed largely in line between Management and peer ICs (eg. Tech Lead had similar perks+comp as EngMgr, DirEng had similar perks to Distinguished Eng, etc) with the added downside that Management roles included a massive amount of stress due internal politics surrounding roadmap, budget, and a lack of exit opportunities (a Dir of Eng with a background at Infra companies would be pigeonholed into other Infra companies)
> Nobody is advocating for mandatory "ID please" checkpoints everywhere

Why would anyone who wanted mandatory "ID please" checkpoints advocate for them before introducing ID cards when:

a) it makes no sense to advocate for them prior, there’s a natural sequence of dependencies.

b) it would hinder the introduction of ID cards and hence, mandatory "ID please" checkpoints.
Roads are massively subsidized. I suspect more than railways. If roads were tolled at the rate to maintain each segment then sure I would buy your argument. There is no way the maintenance of all of the roads is born according to actual use. It is done by also taxing those who do not use them.
One has to take a step back, a compromise isn't possible.

Right now, what it can do really well is non-blocking file IO. My (limited) understanding is that as of now, the benefits of io_uring over epoll for network IO is a bit more ambiguous. That said, io_uring is adding new features (already available in linux 6 kernel) that are really promising. See https://github.com/axboe/liburing/wiki/io_uring-and-networki....

I too went with the 'business class' cable a couple of years ago. In my market, it's dollar-for-dollar slower than the consumer grade (I get 250Mbps where I'd get probably the 500Mbps consumer package for the same price), but in exchange I get an actual SLA that they mostly adhere to. Given my WFH gig, it's worth every penny to have an outage addressed (if not resolved completely) in 4 hours rather than 2-5 business days.
iPhone maker Wistron quits, saying Apple didn't let it make a profit
Does that really portray anything? All I get is that he was a fan of batched processing.
I've been hosting it for about 2 years, running in a container on a Proxmox host (a DL380G7 with 128GB RAM and a DS4243 JBOD in a tailor-made enclosure under the stairs here at the farm) together with a bunch of other services. It is not used all that often but when I need it it is there and works as intended. After configuring it I have not had to do anything else than run apt update && apt dist-upgrade every now and then. It is a bit of a memory hog just like most other jvm-based services but it is reliable and dependable.

Most people work way more than they need. No one needs a six figures salary for 30 years straight. People just get addicted to the nice, non-necessary things, they can get on such income though. This, and their taste for anything other than working slightly withers away (as it's not practiced, due to lack of time).
Champions of executive's compensation is what the working class is fighting against. You lack of beef would classify you as their class traitor.
Why the iPhone Keyboard Sucks
I made the mistake of entering management WAY too early in my career.

I wish I had not. it relegated my time to many tasks other than tech implementation.

FN having to train CFOs on financially managing cloud environs, managing people, pestering people for status reports, c-level presentations on this that and the other thing, etc...

My biggest mistake in my career was thinking I was "climbing the ladder" when accepting a position as a manager, director etc...
Agreed, no one who sells chairs will make them for free then ask for a $X "donation." But somehow people think devs should make their own stuff free too and ask for donations. If you like the product at a given price, buy it, and if you don't like either, don't buy it, same as any other good.

And people will pay $60 for physical items but balk at $0.99 apps and digital goods, it's strange.
This I why I don't donate to wikipedia anymore; I found out they actually don't need it.
"Wings"! It stirred faded memories. Our family got cable in the early 1990s in India. Discovery and National Geographic were staples. Quite possibly---though I can neither confirm nor deny---that is how I got proper wind of the Black Bird. I just saw that YouTube has the episode... and, looks like it features Brian Shul.

Given that you are on HN, you are likely salaried employee. This means you are also generating income 24/7. If you were fined for 20 days of your income, would you still argue that this is "the definition of a trivial fine" for you? I certainly wouldn't.
I think it's more confusion of how `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` works. Incrementing sequences is not "doing nothing", even if it's valid and sensible behaviour, which leads to confusion.
Coming from psychology this feels alien to me. In psychology there is a definite boundary between individual behavioral dynamics and population behavioral dynamics. There is no smooth transition between the two, either you describe the individual or you describe a group, you cannot do both (even thought debates about IQ here on HN will have you believe otherwise) and there is certainly no smooth transition.

How is the boundary between GR and QM different from the boundary of psychology and sociology?
Great work! Looking forward to the CRDT
So this article is telling us that the iPhone app for ChatGPT is communicating with the ChatGPT APIs and therefore has the same privacy problems as the website or a third party app?

Feels kind of like someone was forced to write an article about this and had nothing really to say that hasn't been said dozens of times in other articles about ChatGPT already.

PS - The biggest thing ChatGPT is currently missing is the ability to read out answers.
An Introduction to Shader Art Coding
Public networks have value for entertainment, movies, TV, and music all should be sponsored by social media apps, especially independent music. These social apps also need to abandon the predatory and destructive (ad boosting) schemes they've created and instead tax big (and very profitable) media companies alone.

Undercover the truth has been that social media has always been simply a channel for commercials, and they should embrace that truth and make it les sof a ponzi scheme, and more of an easy way to scroll through specific areas of interest for individual people. If social media was honest and fair, the metrics on consumer sentiment would be game-changingly valuable to everyone in business, but as of right now, pure corruption, deceptive marketing, and endless new schemes are being invented by people trying to leverage social media against the unaware masses on it.

Closed networks can be just as easily corrupted, and they can be weaponized against users with no way of anyone knowing what occurred. Closed systems can hide valuable knowledge and truth from the public, they create a nightmare for law enforcement as well in solving crimes perpetrated on groups or individuals, they also encourage maintaining multiple individual accounts and paywalls around data that does not need to be private... Neither solution is perfect. Many of the massive public social media services have been operating as if they are closed networks lately as they try to squeeze money and data out of users over time (e.g. Twitter not allowing posts to be accessed without having an account).

I am really tired myself of all the tricks, gimmics, and schemes that social media creates jus tin order to operate successfully on it, and new tools are often the same old schemes, but in reality, there is now barely any other cost-effective way to promote yourself to the world... Google search can also be kind of considered the same as social media in a way because many have to pay for prominent placing and manipulate keywords, and even do things like registering an SSL cert and pay hosting to be ranked higher on results... TikTok has basically become a massive video search engine on the flip side of that.

The problem is these networks thrive on free and coerced labor form content creators and businesses, they offer little reward for hard work, and they facilitate wide-scale fraud, info theft, ID impersonation, and disinformation. Those things need to be addressed thoroughly moving forward, or it will all turn into a desolate strip mall with little value to anyone but the land owners.
Well said.

As a UK national, I have to prefer being beaten with relish by genuine sadists (the UK government), rather than by sadists who pretend to have some heart left over.

Isn't that exactly what string theory is trying to do?
My point: 99% of people will use chatgpt etc. because homebrew alternatives are either bad (easy to detect with naked eye) or slow. Probably Microsoft will also make sure no competitors can offer good enough AI by pushing for regulation. So if those big platforms are required to watermark/detect own AI results that's good enough. Remaining 1% of crazy people don't count.

Your point?
Do you actually think the US would preemptively invade Mexico in this scenario?

As an American, that sounds ludicrous, and I cannot imagine anyone in the US supporting that plan with the enthusiasm that Russians currently support the invasion of Ukraine.
They dubbed an Aussie film?

Luckily, the version I saw in the UK was the non-dubbed version.
From their language they seem not to be Russian natives, but rather Westerners who have bought into the Russian (government's) narrative.

This particular fact just sounds like good logistical sense. If I'm going to sign 2000 prints I might as well do it in one batch.

Also might as well sign all them together, before mass production, rather than waiting for them to be differentiated into different prints: that way they are printed on demand from a central source rather than signed on demand from many different sources.

I suspect it might be misleading to say he signed them "before he knew what would be printed on them". They were authorized with a specific set of prints (his work), it wasn't like they could just draw anything and sell it.

Not to say he wasn't greedy. I would say the more direct point was

I always thought this was true.
> You didn’t answer the question . How do you have a global graph without sending data to every country where your friends are?

You do not, but that is not what the ruling is about. This ruling is about Meta using standard contracts (SCC) to achieve mass acceptance for personal data transfers of EU citizens out of the EU. Which you are not allowed to do with the GDPR. If Meta had obtained individual permissions from you on your various personal information, then it would not have been illegal for Meta to share your information globally.

This isn’t really about what you share on FB either, it’s about all the data that Meta applications gather about you (often without your knowledge) that they then send outside the EU with a very generalised permission that you probably auto-accepted when you signed up. It’s exactly because the EU regulators know that people auto-accept those general agreements without ever reading them that the law has been made to make such agreements non-GDPR-compliant. The reasoning is that you cannot sign away your rights without understanding what you are signing away, and if corporations don’t want to make sure you know what you are agreeing to then the corporations are in violations of EU law.
I run a matrix server deployed using their annsible script [1] which comes with jitsi, etherpad, etc.

The setup was a bit of a hassle (need to get the domain configured for federation, updating the config files etc) but after a weekend of configuration it has been rock solid since (in operation for a year now). I use it primarily as a centralized chat client (using bridges to the various propriatary chat services) but it is nice to be able to throw up a quick jitsi call and/or etherpad document.

The whole ansible/docker stuff is over my head, but these days I just run the playbook to apply updates and it hasn't failed me yet. Backups are handled by taking snapshots of the VM it runs in.

The jitsi web client works great on desktop, but I would recomend using the dedicated mobile apps because I have heard reports the web client struggling on mobile.
