The results are very good, and this is not surprising considering the company behind the product. What surprises me is why the creator of ClippingMagic justifies himself for the creation of the tool (PAYGO instead of subscription) and creates a new competition when like remove.bg and other competitors they only offer subscription for ClippingMagic.

Anyway, it's a good news to have finally a quality tool at low price... hoping that once they won the market, they won't increase the prices.
To my eye, this makes vanilla JS more like React rather than making vanilla JS reactive. I'm basically looking for an even lighter Svelte if I can get it. Maybe this just isn't for me!
> Only if a dev has screwed up. Most simple sites are fine. You have to push the DOM quite hard for the browser to be the bottleneck. I've worked on apps that have DOM trees with 60,000+ nodes that remain under 16ms (because very few were actually changing at any given time..)

You mentioned that frameworks like React make it simpler to get better performance but based on my observations it's quite the opposite and React is often a double barreled gun where one of the barrels is constantly pointing at your feet. With vanilla JS (not the one from this post) you have to put effort to get everything to update properly. With React you put effort to get the least amount of things to update. It's not even about DOM size but about managing state and how much code gets run on state change.

To give you an example - Reddit is a simple website. You have a list of posts which are either text, image, or a video and each of them has comments. Absolutely nothing complicated about that, yet the performance on their React frontend, even with all analytics JS and ads blocked, is horrendous. You would assume that at Reddit's scale they'd be able to hire competent React developers.
Yes, until the html/css/js part. There is a tool that puts all your files into an js object and provides your files like a virtual file system. Obviously doesn't go well with bigger files. I wish there was a way to use PE's / ELF's existing ways to embed files, especially for memory usage reasons.
The first one is utter garbage

"This is complete shit because of X Y Z" is actionable "this is complete shit" is not. At what or who it is directed is irrelevant, it's useless.

> The boss who says this respects you, respects your work, and knows you can do better than this uncharacteristic example without them holding your hand.

Nope, because again, no indication why it his shit.

>> If you used this pattern in this area, it would become easier to read

> "You." This comment is directed at me and the choices I made. The comment uses the conditional - it isn't frustrated, it's wistful. The language is stilted and formal; they're keeping me at an arm's length.

Yes, "you" prima-ballerina, you wrote it, take responsibility for it.

> And easier to read? Humiliating that my thought process is that incoherent.

You should be. Code is for reading. You should know that by now.

It would be different if it was directed at junior dev but you should know better.

Fix it and move on, everyone writes bad or unclear code sometimes.

>> This variable has a generic name, please make it more expressive.

> Very simple present tense statement, followed by very simple imperative. I'm clearly being handled. And please? They are literally begging me not to suck so bad. This isn't just arms-length language, this is you're-going-on-a-PIP-and-we're-being-careful-not-to-give-you-any-employment-law-leverage language. If someone ever gives me feedback like this, that's a sign I'm going to get fired.

That's insanely weird assumptions you're making. Everyone makes bad code. Being polite is hedging your bet against how the other side answers to your feedback. If you know someone and you know their style "hey dude, this reads like shit, fix it" can be entirely enough and just fine, but if you don't know the person all that well being nice won't hurt.

Not "you named variable weird, you're fired" like you're trying to interpret it

Couple of key tips:

- if you're going to post an interesting link in the comments, take a moment to post it to /new first

- activity is highest at the top of threads, so piggyback off that

- if you're going to post jokes, make sure you post the explanation as well in the same comment

Think about it: if you don't see, can't see, and have no record about what's run (because what's downloaded abd run isn't saved), you're just making your computer untrustworthy, especially if you're piping to a root shell.

At least if you download the file before you run it, you can check the checksum / do a sanity check of the file before you run it, as others have mentioned.

But nobody is saying or has ever said that it has anything at all to do with the download tool. Piping wget versus curl makes zero difference. Also, suggesting that installing via sh is a related issue is completely incorrect thinking. You might as well suggest that using a keyboard on your computer can be frowned upon since doing things on a keyboard could lead to compromise. The statement is true, but ridiculous and not helpful.

I have nearly 25k karma. I also have ADHD, these are somewhat related.

Most of my Karma comes from really random comments that I assume people will not like to hear. The overwhelming majority of my comments will never get more than one upvote (if it even gets that).

The comments that earn karma are really 50/50 between if I get flagged or suddenly get 50 upvotes.

Regardless, you shouldn't ever expect to get any upvotes, karma doesn't matter except to add some amount of merit that someone is not a troll. Outside of that it's quite useless.

Answering the question, it ranges from 15 minutes to 4hours a day.
people already ported a lot of stuff from pytorch to jax.

For me it's crazy how tape vendors always advertise "compressed capacity" which is 2.5 times the actual capacity. Imagine a laptop containing a 2TB SSD getting advertised as containing a "5TB SSD"...
One of my advisors studied at puc-rio. Until early 2000's they had contacts with Petrobras (giant Brazilian oil and gas company) and SGI. We had some beautiful, exotic and powerful Silicon Graphics workstations in our labs: O2's, Fuel, 230... And people developed some impressive UI's like the ones available in the tecgraf section of https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/en/screenshots.html .

Also there was some pressure for us to use IUP. We always had a "not as maintained as gtk or qt" feel and as much as we could, we refused it. I think nobody regrets that.
are you trolling? comma is the only profitable company you mentioned while its the opposite for way and cruise, both of which are not scalable.
> EU market is too big to ignore

It's not what it used to be.

The EU's makes up around 15-20% of world GDP depending on how you measure it, but that's subject to disproportionality high taxes and compliance costs.

Meta only gets around 10% of its ad earnings from the EU [1]. I'm not aware of the figures for Google and Microsoft or whether such figures are even available.

Many global banks left the US or reduced it to skeleton operations after the wave of regulation following '08. Unfriendly enough behaviour might cause a similar reaction from tech in the EU.

[1] "What we do know is that roughly 10% of worldwide ad revenue comes from ads delivered to Facebook users in E.U. countries", Meta CFO Susan Li quoted on stratechery, https://stratechery.com/2023/metas-low-e-u-arpu-the-supreme-...
Have a question to the Generative AI experts here.

So, I can use smthg like GPT-4 to label data and then use that as a train set for my own LLM, right?

Paulg complaining about the EU regulations while ignoring Sams congress hearing is just a crazy contrast and hypocricy to me.
I used to make websites for small businesses. That was a decade ago but still.

There's a lot of overhead with small clients. They don't have an internal employee who makes and sends the copy and the content. You really build everything from the ground up. You also have to host it and keep it online. There's only you; you're the whole IT department.

Also I made 50 an hour a decade ago as a student. It's a low income for a freelance professional with unsteady work.

Realistically, it's closer to a month of full time work, but it's spread over 3-6 months of talking, meeting, getting feedback, waiting for images etc.

It was one of my favourite jobs because I could apply tech to solve smaller, tangible problems. It was also the hardest to live from.

Anyone with an ounce of consideration for others will want regulation, on any sbuject. Otherwise, we'd be driving around doing 150 in cities.
Does it? I loaded Guanaco-65B on a 48GB graphics card using the new flag and it loaded just fine. I don't think the unquantized model fits on a 48GB card. So I'm not quite sure if this is true.
The easiest analogy I can come up with is an infinite pipe that's completely full with water. When a new amount of water arrives, say 1 Liter, all the water just flows along the pipe a bit further to make space for the new water.

This is a normal negotiation tactic on the part of OpenAI. Businesses often say they will leave a jurisdiction or be forced to shut down if X regulation is put in place.

>No buttons on the machine, but a QR code. Leads to an app download. Installed. The menu is only visible after creating an account. Created account. Chose my snack. Asks for Swedish payment system. I don’t have that. Tiny option for credit card.

it seems obvious to me:

>what can we do to lower operating costs?

>remove coins and banknotes from the machines and only allow credit cards, so we don't have to pay people to collect all the money!

>ok, so should we install a POS on every machine so that people can pay with the card?

>no! that would cost too much! just install a QR code so the customer has to use an app with an account and pay there, so our machine is basically as dumb and featureless as possible!
Reading the comments here, seems like countries have really good integrations with QR menus, like Apple/Google Pay, out here, in India, all we mostly get is a download for a PDF hosted on a Google Drive, that is a bunch of images and is a 50-100 MB download (because why compress?), and then you have to constantly pinch to zoom and pan through the document, I have some 40-50 of them on my phone because when I go again, I won't remember the menu already exists with me, I'll download again.

The ones that are decent are also not that great, the JS code that runs constantly stutters and its basically a delivery menu, allowing you to place orders, seems off putting in dining out.

Have had a hard time convincing waiting staff to give me a physical menu, and I keep hearing a response, we have QR, as if that's making them somehow tech-savvy. Its a restaurant, I don't think you ever need to be tech-savvy, just serve good food. Doubt they'd be able to reduce waiting staff by introducing these tech features anyway.

Worst is McDonald's (IND) attempting to force people to use the large TV touchscreens to place orders, and two or more people (helpers) keep helping you use it and eventually place the whole order for you, and it lacks customizations like no tomatoes etc, so you anyway give up and go to the counter. It's possibly an attempt to reduce work staff, but seems forced on to the customer. And the touch latency is just... resistive touch phones were a lot better.
Data privacy and the ICO during a crisis
Oh no! This time we really have to be 'Open AI' and actually be 'open' and 'transparent' about our models and training methods this time?

More regulations for thee, but not for me (O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com). But little do the regulators know that the majority owner (Microsoft) will lobby and bribe them a little to have regulations to benefit both O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com and Microsoft, etc over everyone else.

It's nice not to look at screens sometimes. QR menus can take you out of it.
There have been outages, just not as catastrophic as predicted.
I alluded to what you say in the last paragraph: the average user isn't going to play with open source models, but the existence of the open source AI ecosystem will enable more competitors.

There's not going to just be one AI company. There will be thousands and thousands, each addressing different use cases and market niches. In a world where OpenAI has a powerful technological moat, all of these companies would end up having to pay rent to OpenAI. In a world with a strong open source AI ecosystem that's not the case. They can take open source models and even train them themselves and refine them for specific use cases.

Winner take all dynamics in general are overstated. They exist in a few niches but not most. How many networking, database, file sync, cloud, gaming, banking, or hosting companies are there? There's even been markets that once looked winner take all like social media that have recently experienced a flurry of diversification.

Edit: there's one more reason I'm not sure moats are strong in AI: AI can write code and can process "messy" inputs. One of the thing that strengthens moats built around integrations and such is that the difficulty of doing the integration is part of the barrier. Integrations are frankly annoying and labor intensive to create. With AI you can just tell it to integrate in natural language and schlep messy imperfect data into it. That makes integrations significantly less labor intensive, making it easier for a competitor to pop up and add them very easily and quickly.
No, they are not exceptions. This is a mix, I have no idea about the percentage but the few ones I checked are in both camps

- MUC: outside of the city

- KRK: outside of the city

- LHR: OK, right at the border of Greater London

- OHR: added specifically to Chicago, it was outside before

- BVA: outside the city

- FRA: inside the city (it is an extension)
I've spoken to many people in the USA that are anti-union and anti-regulation.

The impression they have is that regulation is used to stomp out small businesses (and unions have some propensity for corruption).

The EU regulation does not come with the same feelings, aside from the very aggressive FUD around GDPR. EU regulation is typically seen as something for the consumer/public good and not intended to stifle competition.

With that in mind, it's interesting to see him arguing for regulation in the US, yet against regulation in the EU.
In this case, you can do it on your CI as part of the deployment, so it's not that bad.
Yup, totally. This is a form of knowledge distillation. Openai, or other foundational model providers, can't really do anything about it.
"My main challenge is when people dig in their heels about technical solutions that I find distasteful"

I had co-workers that avoided me as a reviewer because I would highlight important tech and architectural concerns. Those were hand waved away with the usual "we don't have time" arguments.

They've since left the company and I've spent literal years pulling out those deeply embedded ticks.

I've come to realize that I should have asserted myself a lot more back then. You're right that many of the small things don't matter (or can be improved fairly easily). The big things: some of those matter a lot.

It can be hard for others (especially more junior devs) to see the good intention of trying to avoid future quagmires. That's been a bit of a challenge on my end.
I like paulg, but in one of his essays he complained about jocks stealing the Nerds' lunch money and that software engineering was a way to avoid the jocks.

Now, his protege is attempting to steal the Nerds' lunch money with CoPilot.
On the last pi, the eth port is on a pci express bus. For routing usage, you will need to either have to add a usb3-eth adapter or run "router-on-stick" with a single eth port and VLAN.

Or, you could also look at the NanoPi R4S or upper model with multiple eth and 1 Gbit capable SQM.

8.9k since 2017, so getting there. All except a few hundred tops from comments.

I spend on average an hour so per day, reading the comments and sometimes commenting.

On interesting topics I can spend more, reading the article and comments which may lead to searches and such. And often it can take a while to write a comment or reply, especially if I need to do some research, like if it's some programming language I haven't used before or similar.
It is my understanding that this is how “alignment” works.

That is, openAI paid people to chat with their LLM to fine tune it and then other LLMs use chatgpt to generate training data to align their models.
You wrote this like Tucker Carlsen doing a takedown with Facts and Logic. If you had a good point, I wouldn't know, because how can I trust someone who can't even hold back derision until their done talking down to their interlocutor?

No no no! Sammy totally wants regulation. He just wants to help wording it ;)
Two things, first it depends of the western country we are talking about. Luxembourg and USA have a too high emission per capita compared to the rest.

Second, I'm not sure why you see it as a handicap, it's not you vs them? If you are worried their cheaper bad climate good can eat your market just put some carbon tax or whatever polluants we are talking about.
I have over 9000! (in Vegeta voice)

Same goes for me. I'm suspecting some form of ADD (but I'm highly functional, so no need for diagnosis, it does runs in the family, other family members are less lucky.)

I can spend a large part of my day here running/hiding from the ultra boring parts of my work.

I imagine my karma comes both from submissions and comments. Some submissions have 100+ karma, some comments can go to ~40 karma. Most are 1-2 karma, some 5-15 (take this with pinch of salt, I didn't really analyze it, it's a guess).
Good. Piss off then.
They list 5 benefits of U2F but only two of these are unique:

Easier to use than traditional 2 factor authentication.

No retyping of one-time codes involved.

So basically, this is just 2FA but with an expensive, specialized device to save you the difficult task of generating and typing a 6 digit code.

*Pro Tip: Some 2FA apps will put the code into the clipboard so you can just paste it.*

What happens if you lose/break the device?

They have an easy solution for this too --- another expensive, specialized device as a backup. Double the cost just to be safe.
lol, very true

but a 'good' reason for legislation is if it benefits everyone, including you.
This is an article by Gizmodo meant to generate clicks.

Unfortunately, HN has fallen for the tricks.
Similar situation for me (8.7k), i.e. almost all my karma is from comments. I suspect people with high karma scores have a much higher submission to comment karma ratio.

I spend quite a bit of time here, on the order of 1-2 hours per day. Approximately 80% of that time is spent in reading comments, which is where the value of HN is really. In the ~15 years I’ve been here I’ve learned which comment threads is useful to join the conversation and which are flame wars to be avoided. When I comment I spend time to add links and additional information, if possible, to try to add value to the discussion.

AFAIK HN is the only board on the Internet that Ofer’s a truly amazing variety of submissions and thoughtful commentary in these, just in the last days we had entries ranging from quaternions to Montaigne.
It probably does have some sort of simplified internal model of the world, who's to say it doesn't?
I agree.

I was confused reading the page and expected a description of a pattern I could use in actual vanilla JavaScript without any dependencies.
