I think it's less Apple and more TSMC.

Through overzealous cleaning I broke the fans on my Ryzen 4800HS laptop but with the right fan-control software even that TSMC 7nm CPU operated largely fanless(they only spooled up above 80°C, which was rare) until replacements came in the mail.

The M1 in the Air is throttled to roughly half the TDP of other devices with the same chip, so it's not like you're getting all the performance it can offer.

That being said Apple's design is somewhat faster than competition using the same lithography.
Nee. LeagueApps (http://www.leagueapps.com). Ik hou van onze missie en onze SPORTSDOG-waarden (kijk op onze website). Het feit dat we jeugdsport financieren en voetbalvelden in het hele land aanleggen, maakt het alleen maar beter.

De meesten van ons hier geloven dat een van de manieren waarop we kinderen vaardigheden zoals leiderschap en teamwerk kunnen bijbrengen, is door middel van teamsporten.

This watermark relies on subtle grammatical variations. Passing it through any model is going to wipe out the distribution.

The number of open LLMs is exploding, and the most popular ones are fine tuned by small groups / individuals. None of the folks volunteering their time and compute to fine tuning open models are going to waste resources adding your watermark.
That's not what we did. Governments certainly hire private sector grifters as contractors; but those contractors still rely on the coercive power of the government to force people to comply with whatever rules they are operating under. So the grifters are still government actors in the sense that matters: people can't choose to just ignore them or not deal with them, as would be the case with a true private sector company.
> Eh? Brains learn by physically growing parts of neurons.

Hmm - that's quite a slow process - sure it happens - but I think you'll find that brains can learn on a faster timescale than the growth of connections would enable.

> That growing can not be moved around to another set of neurons, That property is essential to be deemed "software".

Not sure the ability to easily copy is the definition of software. Connections can be activated or attenuated without growth - that's the equivalent of learning your weights. Isn't that cumulative set of attentuations/activations software - ie you remap the input/output engine dynamically?

I definitely gave hardening and redundancy some thought when designing. Just because the originals didn't have it doesn't mean it wouldn't be a nice thing to add. So I think it's a fair question to ask. But I decided it was mostly impractical for my design goals and price point.
0.0.2 update is live, and solves this issue. Check for updated README.
Wow. That is a scary view. Who should we eliminate then? I really hope climate genocide won’t become a thing…
A lot more today than in 2013, afaik. I know quite a few people who got hired at Fb back then who can’t get hired there now.

I’d say at least 200 problems, if no leetcode experience prior. Maybe 100 if you’re just refreshing. In both cases, I’d say there’s still a ton of luck involved. You can get interviewers who just won’t hire you no matter how well you do on the problem. I think 100/200 is still low for how the industry is today, to ensure at least one reasonable offer.
I like the form factor. There's a couple quirks with the screen and some apps/games but I can work around those. The real thing that keeps me from using it more is the heat/fan noise.

I can't use it anywhere quiet because of the whizzing sound it generates even just at idle, let alone when I do something. With games on the go it's not a problem, but any kind of productivity work like editing code isn't possible.

I saw there were some mods for cooling but I don't believe they're available anymore. Best I've been able to do is under-volt it to lower CPU performance, but that only gets me so far. I'm open to suggestions, though!
Ah yes, since we all have an intuitive grasp of what millions of gallons, and can visualize what that means over however many 40 acre farms.
The "Statement on AI Risk" by Sam Altman and wealthy individuals fails to address the potential impact of AI on job security. Rather, it focuses on concerns regarding war and human extinction. Despite my attempts to raise awareness about the issue, I have received negative feedback. It's important to consider how the everyday struggles of families may affect their ability to purchase products and services such as phones, streaming, gaming, and others when AI takes away their white-collar jobs. Maybe there will be war because there are no jobs while rich folks are getting rich. I hope I remain wrong.
Why would HN be treated differently in the long run? Facebook and Twitter are easy targets but surely the goal is to make all sizeable sites pay?
Yes.

Not going to elaborate on the why or how because I've spent enough time on the Internet to know where these arguments lead.

Yes, I plan to be one of the survivors.
True. But the root of this problem pre-dates any wide-spread awareness of climate change. There are areas of the country (e.g., AZ, the south of CA, etc.) that are known to be historically drought prone, and in addition the supply of fresh water finite. But those historic lessons were ignored and we kept builting and building. Look at Vegas. What other species would do what we did there?

You're correct, we're unprepared for the wrath of Mother Nature. But that's more or less always been the case, especially when it comes to the west of the USA. Climate Change is simply adding the explanation point to: So Stupid!

Giving money to a company is rewarding all of their behaviours, in aggregate. Because that's what a company is.
The "two sides" in the false dichotomy are definitely not equivalent. That said, I don't really buy the idea that it simply must be this way, either. Corporations will always be corrupt to some degree, and I don't think that this really plays into that very much; I think that most corporations are very happy (and actively engaged in) doing one thing and saying another. So the truth is, the only positive externality that I think could come from all of this posturing is if it helped in shifting the societal view (And to an extent, it probably did, though I think eventually, if it hasn't happened already, that trend will go backwards.)

I also don't really understand why this article is flagged; I think a lot of articles where the discussion is bound to go sideways get flagged just in anticipation.

Did not you still need the `java --source 11 ${filename_without_java_extension_because_JEP_330}` to use it? And you still need a wrapper class with a static method main in it.
I have never used a megasquirt but I was always rooting for them. We also had an underdog here in the form of Nistune, it was and still is just a bloke in his garage.

I have to support my locals though, Haltech and Link. They have a recent video on the Haltech YouTube channel of a tour of their facilities. It's no Toyota factory line, but feels very pragmatic and I love that they still do it in house.
Whether or not "guesswork that's probably scientifically informed" is in fact "improved methodology" is the question. As is using the fact that heads came up when you flipped a coin hoping for heads is sufficient grounds for applying the same method to much more consequential tasks. I for one am very glad we didn't abandon the supposedly far too cautious approach of evidence-based medicine when we properly tested the COVID vaccines, for example, before administering them to billions. That of course is far more consequential to ending the pandemic than masks ever were. But sure, for low-effort low-risk policies like "wear masks made out of whatever, it might do something", we can go with scientifically informed guesswork.
That seems good,Good job!
The article says that they're going to require new houses to draw 100% of water from the Colorado river, and that Phoenix is one of the fastest growing cities in the US.

Of course, Arizona has simultaneously promised to cut usage of river water.

I'm guessing the local government is betting that possession is 9/10ths of ownership when it comes to water rights, and they plan to simply ignore interstate water rights moving forward.
In Julia, iterating over a string by default behaves like `each_char`.

`codeunits(str)` lets you access the underlying code units, which is bytes for the default UTF-8 encoding. (External packages implement UTF-16 and others, and there `codeunits` could return non-bytes, for eg. 16-bit values for UTF-16.)

The Unicode stdlib provides `graphemes(str)`, the equivalent of `each_grapheme_cluster`.
Life imitates Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Sure the answer is 7 but do you know what the question is?

"one of those sides is determined to not allow you to decide for yourself."
Is this the side where elected officials block construction projects of a company because they don't like the speech expressed through their publications or is this the side where some students prevent non-conforming speakers to speak on campus and teachers get fired for reading a quote in a historical context that includes the N-word?
Journalists can't report on what local city governments are actually up to, because if they did, they'd be sued into oblivion.
Yup. For example, the US government recently sold $215M in BTC originally seized from Silk Road operators[1].

I'm very happy Kaspersky has. And that their released a tool they believe can detect past and present infection with the Triangulation Trojan.

I've not idea to what extent it's possible to have a durable trojan on iOS (probably only the makers of such trojans do know).

It's absurd to say a company should not blow the whistle on a sophisticated attack when that companys job is just that!
Chinese spies did a version of this against Lockheed...

They would phish lockheed/military folks with emails stating "Hey we met at 'military conference' here is my contact file - lets stay in touch"

The file had malware which would trickle very slowly data out.

it was discovered due to one user complaining about his machine being slow... then it was discovered that it was discovered and the chinese opened the fire-hose and the worms were flooding the 3-egress points to the internet Lockheed had at that time, until they could kill the connects and clean up the system.

The other thing the chinese did was to infect 3rd party suppliers who were supposed to be air-gapped, so they infected machines at suppliers to go after any USB sticks that were used to transfer info and get the malware back to Lockheed systems via the USB transfer of info between contractors and lockheed...

Which is basically how stuxnet managed to get its foothold.

> I'm willing to outbid them by an order of magnitude easily. If even 1% of the user base follows along that's a lot of money.

They already have monetization in the form of Reddit Gold and awards. You can pay for premium right now. Also, people are _really_ reluctant to pay for services they get for free; take a look at the recent thread about YouTube ads [0] and the lengths some people go to in order to justify watching the content for free (while blocking ads, no less).

I don't necessarily disagree with your take, but I'm pretty sure you're overestimating how much people are willing to pay Reddit directly.

I was hired from my post a year ago. In a stark contrast to sites like LinkedIn or Indeed, it was almost exclusively company owners, or engineers on the team responding to my post. Whereas LinkedIn was mostly recruiters who sent generic spammy messages.

Alternative is there’s an incentive time horizon mismatch.

Realtors and property listing sites want to close sales.
Most homeowners want a multi year home.

Beyond the edges of repeat customers it seems hard to see why a real estate company would have any motivation to provide this information unless they cover an area that will significantly benefit from climate change.
But all the examples you gave (compilers, automated QA, data entry) fall firmly within the "repetitive" marker. These were all pretty much rote jobs where a person was essentially asked to be like a computer and follow a simple algorithm.

But ChatGPT is now killing jobs that are solely about creativity, like copywriting. That is a new, and rather unexpected, turn of events. I saw a good quote, I think it was on Twitter: "What kind of world have we built where the humans slave away at physically demanding jobs for minimum wage, while the computers write poetry and paint all day."
Are you under the impression that prices adequately reflect all of the costs of a good?

Because... that's not true.
"Relay for reddit" offers a good experience: removes header and footer on scrolling, shows a list of post titles with previews, hides all actions behind a finger flick, with less used ones in expandable menus.
I can second that. Had the Gemini. Never used it much because everything was awkward about it, from the lack of software/firmware to the keyboard until two years later the battery expanded and was bending the case. Not only refused planetcomputers to replace it for free, the only option they gave me was paying £125.00 and sending it in. I've asked if they can send me a replacement battery so I can do it myself but they refused, pointing out safety issues with mailing a battery - while asking me to send the Gemini with the swollen battery to them.

Whenever I hear about AI taking knowledge work, I always think of that show Dirty Jobs. Jobs like 'sewer cleaner' are not going to be automated anytime soon. So eventually all the fun jobs will be AI driven and humans will be left cleaning shit off the walls.

My last job hunt I interviewed at around 10 places, and I think 5 or so came from HN posts. I ended up taking a job from a non-HN post, but found basically all of the HN hiring posts to be more transparent in the initial contact to interview phase.

Getting interviews at other companies involved more networking, i.e. finding an actual person to contact or reference me first, before getting the interview. On the HN posts I more or less just emailed the person listed on the HN submission and had an interview shortly after

Defense in depth. Like the Space Shuttle that had four rad hardened processors. And a voting system to reject anomalous outputs. With two you don't know which one is right. With three you're OK. Four allows for one to permanently fail and still leave three.

This is analogous to having at least three NTP servers. Or filesystem level checksums on top of ECC RAM and LDPC in the SSD. Or TCP checksum on IPv4 header checksum on Ethernet/LTE/Wi-Fi checksum.

"Knowledge" jobs have been automated a long time. Even before digital computers. Be it census or what. Then with computers insurance, banking and so on. This automation then moved to smaller and smaller companies.

Actually when you think about it, even clerical work was "automated" by printing press.

Automation of production of generic content is bit scary, but it might free up resources or just show what the truly value of that work was.
That's really neat. Veritasium did a couple of videos on analog computing a year ago. I'm glad there are people lowering the barrier to entry.

True. That is often disregarded in how we talk about nation-state competition.

We need desalination. We’re not going to survive without it, so we might as well get going.
Thanks for sharing. This is interesting and useful. Online real estate companies are very lazy and bad when it comes to adding additional useful info. Once they got a monopoly position and access to MLS in every state (not easy feat, impossible to do today as a founder without serious cash) they just started resting on their laurels.

Not only do I care about these kinds of risks, I also care about neighborhood quality and architectural design. None of this is measured let alone searched for. Walk score is a start but again same problem as Risk Factor.
> when the 'eco warriors' stopped the buildout

No one listens to "eco warriors" now, what makes you so sure they were the ones that stopped the buildout?
It's not strange. It's an emergent domain-specific measurement that means something to practitioners within that domain.

What's strange is chopping off the head of a bunch of French aristocrats because ergot poisoning drove you mad, and then replacing old emergent domain-specific measurements with something new because those old measurements just aren't rational, and you're clearly very rational, obviously, because what could be more rational than tearing a bunch of people from their homes and chopping off their heads? Their world order was clearly arbitrary and irrational, and evil! So with that oppressive old world order extinguished, you're now impelled to conjure new, more rational unit definitions like "one ten-millionth of the shortest distance from the North Pole to the equator passing through Paris", which is in no way arbitrary, and is of course very rational and sensible.

And from this day henceforth, the ploughman shall no longer measure his land in terms of the area that a pair of oxen can plow in a day (1 acre), but in terms of the square of "one ten-millionth of the shortest distance from the North Pole to the equator passing through Paris" - the meter! The meter is rational, scientific, even noble, yes indeed.
