It's quite annoying in an ergonomic sense. Dependency management becomes harder, etc.

For instance, if you make more crates and they all use the same dependency, you have to manage it all in the multiple Cargo.toml files.

But overall, they're just two different systems with two different tradeoffs. I prefer writing Rust and I prefer the way I specify deps in Rust, but I prefer the ergonomics of packages in Go.

I just deployed tinygrad thanks to this conversation and I've played with just about every local LLM client and toolchain there is. I just ran the examples as listed in the repo with absolutely zero problems and they just worked. I think their goals of prioritizing ease of use far outweighs any performance optimizations at this stage of the game. Nothing is stopping the team from integrating other projects if their performance delta is worth the pivot.

From what I see, the foundation is there for a great multimodal platform. Very excited to see where this goes.
Seems to be a Microsoft Windows specific implementation.

Was hoping for something cross platform on to Linux.
That's true, Combine is a dead technology. Frustrating as I prefer it in a lot of cases to Swift concurrency, but I've been an Rx fan for a decade or so.
Kind of ironic with all the posturing crypto does about being immune from state/centralized pressure.
It's not as if pedestrians are any safer. A self driving car that hits a person because it gets confused where a human wouldn't have is just as bad. When lives are on the line, taking control from the human requires that the machine must be at least good as the human would be in every situation or we're better off leaving humans in control with machines augmenting their abilities.

It's great that we have cars that can warn us when there's something in our blind spot, something behind us while we back up, or when we drift out of our lane. Until the software can perform as well as we can, any more than that is a liability.
That's why distributions like Debian/Ubuntu/RHEL exist.
They provide a stable toolchain to build on top of _within_ a major release of the distro.
... except if the air is bad due to Canadian forest fires (which truly sux right now). NYC today looks like Ottawa a day or two ago. People are cranking up their HEPA filters and digging up masks from 2020/Covid.

On the serious side, companies that will trust their staff and let them work as they wish when it's ok for productivity will be the ones that have the best chance to pull in talent and the largest pool to fish in.
The system that I am having in place now is connected to our indoor air quality monitor and constantly regulates the fan speed of the PPS. By measuring the CO2 levels in the room, I can also detect when the room is actually occupied.
This works extremely efficient and by playing around with the parameters can be optimized for cleaner air vs energy efficiency (or both).

So in a way it does exactly what you say and finds the ideal equilibrium to keep just the right amount of pressure needed.
In Canada a Tesla 3 with all wheel drive (Canada eh!) will run you $65,000 plus 13% sales tax.

A new Mercedes e-class sedan with all wheel drive is $69,000 plus tax.

If I had $69,000 plus tax to spend on a car (I do not) there would be no contest.
Yep, I have that.
On one hand, social media sites tend to want to tell the target site "we brought you there" for some pretty traffic statistics and monetization. On the other hand, I seriously doubt HN, the news site of a VC company, actually takes any money from that.
In 2008 when the financial crisis hit, I had some friends that got their news from Zero Henge got into a panic spiral. One of them was seriously thinking of quickly buying a plot of land and farming it so he wouldn't starve to death when the economy collapsed.

I had to explain to him that no, he won't starve to death. Even if money ceases to exist overnight, the government will step in and forcibly collect the food from farmers if need be and distribute it to the cities.

As a part of the argument I worked out what it takes to feed an adult for a year with storable staples. There's "preppers" that have helpfully prepared lists of things to buy with nutrition profiles, etc...

Apparently, all you need is a trip to Costco and about $2,000 will buy you a year's supply of salt, sugar, oil, lentils, dried fruits, nuts, flour, etc...

You can scrape together that much money even if you're unemployed!

the entire concept of money is a social construct. It's a culture wide bluff that we all agree to never call. "self-sovereignty" is antithetical to the idea of money.
Does a paper have to be typed with utf wang tiles to be considered turing complete? (obviously, untyped paper is much more difficult to demo as turing complete)
In their case the thing they all described blocked out the stars almost from horizon to horizon as it passed over. It was described as huge, black, and silent with a well-defined edge that one could follow across the sky as the stars in front were blocked and those behind reappeared. They said they didn't notice it until they realized all the normal night sounds had completely stopped as it approached and once it passed, the insects, birds and things resumed their chatter. They don't know what they saw but they do know they did see something unusual.

Sounds like ... a cloud? Combined with some kind of local changes in temperature/pressure/ionization sufficient to distract the animals for a bit? (I live partially in nature - sometimes the critters are very active; other times, one can hear a pin drop).
Does anyone have experience with the open air monitor version [1]? I am looking for an affordable outdoor air sensor that will be used to collect data from certain urban and suburban areas to use as evidence in efforts to dissuade (through public comment periods and possible litigation) industrial rezoning near residential areas due to pm2.5 and other combustion emission pollution (and deploying a sensor network to establish a baseline).

HVAC engineer here. I'd be interested to know if you've done any measurements with outside air coming through standard F5 filters. This is the typical setup for most ducted AC I come across. Much lower pressure and cheaper than HEPAs. It would be good to know what air quality results as a baseline and also in conjunction with in room purification if you have any data.

Edit: I'm in Australia. Here's a comparison of filter types for different locations: https://www.filtermakers.com.au/selection-guide/

When I was laid off by Shopify last month, it was almost done perfectly.

The day started. Everyone got an email saying what was happening and whether or not they were impacted. I was. I was given access to slack to say farewells for a few hours. I had a quick meeting with my senior manager. Then all access was cut and my personal email got all the needed details on what's next.

It sucked, but it was pretty humane.

But...

There was a leak two days before that it was coming. The dread of knowing you might be laid off is worse than being laid off. And everyone had it for 48 hours. It was brutal and the company ground to a halt.

I'm not mad at the leaker. They probably felt it was better that people know. But I don't think they were right.

I don't think telling investors about the layoff before the people being laid off is right. But I also don't think dragging it out for many days or weeks is healthy for anyone.
Betting on something where there is no single interest that can decide to screw you is fundamentally different than trusting something where one entity is in control. In a more principled world, I'd like to think the latter would never exist and people would be willing to go to great lengths to avoid or even protest against its existence.

If its goal was to minimise human deaths, it might just kill everyone.
I think the “wild claim” that evidence was being requested to substantiate was calling Putin a “modern day Hitler.”
While I appreciate your reluctance, I’d recommend trying to find one of the Philips LED bulbs that dim like an incandescent bulb. I’m not sure they’re easy to find now, and to be honest I don’t remember the model name, but if you can find them they are wonderful. Basically they have multiple sets of diodes within them that dim at different rates which is an incredibly convincing “incandescent emulation”. They are a “whiter” light at high brightness and a nice warm glow at low brightness with a nice smooth transition between them.
Have you explored the effects of a localized positive-pressure system?

Like, say the positive-pressure system has a duct that pumps outside-air directly to locations where a resident spends a lot of them time -- like their bed, a work desk, or a couch in a living-room. Could they get reasonable air-quality that way, even if the system isn't strong enough to clean up other areas of their home that they might spend less time in?
I am using Vornado air purifiers, but I don't have air quality monitoring yet and don't care about WiFi features. The higher end Vornados have monitoring built-in, but it is rudimentary and just a light bar. Without air monitors to check them, it's hard to tell, but they seem to work quite well. Vornado excels at producing room-sized torrents that direct air through its filters. We blew out a candle once and the smoke visibly made a beeline towards the Vornado.
Interesting, so that is the difference. Thanks! :)

What type of filter is that? HEPA filters are recommended to be changed every few months.
I see your point. I just went over the abstract again and I totally agree.
Value town is when you make a chunky bet on the river with a fairly obvious hand and get that call from a decent 2nd best hand!
Some US companies are also like this.

I can think of one MAANG right off that behaves this way. If an employee wants to leave, the most common response is for a manager to get very upset, gaslight them, and try to guilt them into staying or that they're somehow a bad employee. It's corporate BS attempting to exploit the views and vulnerabilities of well-meaning honest employees with deceptive emotional manipulation.
No, you are using a tiny subset of a group to make broad assertions about the entire group. That is not logically valid.

I accept there are sick people. But not all people are sick. Most poor people do in fact make themselves inexpensive food at home. That you and others want to claim it is impossible for them to do so is bizarre.
Would something like AlgoVPN installed at the appropriate point in your hierarchy/network map simplify this?

Unsure if/how/why you want to modify firewalls and iptables.

If you're ok running ubuntu or debian, the commands for ufw as a firewall are pretty straight forward to setup and maintain and can be scriptable.

Algo is a nice install that works just fine installed as a docker image running on a linux VPS. Installing docker and docker-compose are essential for this.

If after reading this you are saying there is no comprehensive step by step article that does this, let me know, and I can see if I have my install notes and the install script I created to put up somewhere.

I think sometimes enough years of linux and looking things up can be at fault for some of the documentation needs.
Hard disagree, why can't it exist as a properly regulated security?
As the other commenter mentioned - these people troll each other all the time. It's practically the job description for a large portion of them, in fact.

And it doesn't even have to be anybody is trolling him directly. The trolling could be happening several layers deep. And can be entirely unintentional -- just a matter of a few genuinely naive or deluded people somewhere.
it's not the hydrocarbons or the fact that ethanol provides higher octane that I'm disagreeing with, it's this:

> and so less efficient engines, and fewer mpg

ethanol, while providing a higher octane rating (which if you drive a car that requires a higher octane rating for its immediate power might matter), actually lowers the mean mpg quite a bit, since it has much lower energy density.

that, and the fact that we're literally burning food, are some of my issues with ethanol.

I drive a car that knocks if I put less than 91 octane in, but if that octane is obtained from ethanol, it reduces the mpg by 25% (for 10% ethanol, higher if the ethanol percentage is raised). that's a problem. sure, I too want to get off of hydrocarbons that produce co2 for energy, but making that energy less efficient is not the way to do it, especially when we're burning our food and destroying the soil to achieve that.
Well said. If you want self-sovereignty buy a large sailboad or maybe a remote plot of land and seeds.
How has the job market been? And out of curiosity, we’re you an engineer?
I have not loved my work’s strategy of announcing a layoff in the coming months.
I've been using an Airgradient Basic for CO2, PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 (not sure if that includes dust?). Easy to hook it up to a database, Home Assistant, or their cloud. But you can also just use it with a USB battery and read the #s off the screen.
Unpopular opinion but Reddit died a long time ago - the world moved to discord for real community interactions and now all that is left is a 24/7 monetized outrage stream fed by bots, shills and has-beens.
Linode isn't too bad for a VPS instance - best ot make sure the IP isn't on many block lists, take your time logging into all your services through it and the rest can be generally smooth sailing.

More and more cloud providers look for and block vpn's self-hosted with vps providers, in which case, finding access to residential connections (trading) or a provider is a way to go.
I'm sure people have thought about it, it's just hard, annoying, and asking a lot of mostly unpaid OSS contributors. Many mod developers are high school / college aged.

Sandboxing Java code running in process requires ugly and obscure security APIs and restricts you to having to have a common modding API (Forge). Many mods use bytecode patching and would be broken completely.

How easy is it to run it, though? Could I run GPT4 (or other LLMs) on a PC with a GPU, or would I need a datacenter? If the latter, many people will prefer a managed solution.
You know a company behaves extremely poorly when even notorious corporate simp Gergely Orosz calls them out.
The company I work for had layoffs recently and we were notified nearly 3 weeks in advance. I think they meant well but it was awful. Maybe there’s some science behind the transparency or something but it was pretty terrible to me. I would prefer that the day we’re told layoffs will happen that they do the layoffs.
Ansible, etc, are great.

But also one more dependancy.

More and more I'm finding having a bash script that can work on most debian/ubuntu systems is pretty handy to be able to run remotely whether it's a VPS or more.
I’m a long term skeptic (but opportunistic trader of BTC) - this level of extreme pessimism on HN has historically preceded rallies. Of course, this time can be different.

Author here.

I wrote this article a few weeks ago after discovering that a well known air quality monitor in the market that retails for more than USD 1000 actually uses a PM module that costs less than USD 20.

Often people assume that the more expensive, the better but as you can see in the article this is often not the case -especially when it comes to the accuracy of the monitor.

If you are looking for an open source / open hardware air quality monitor kit that uses high quality sensor modules and is very easy to assemble, have a look at the project we maintain. Instructions to built an indoor monitor [1], instructions to built an outdoor monitor [2] and overview of the kits [3]. All is open source (firmware, schematics, 3d files for enclosure, etc).

These sorts of fan setups also use a lot more electricity than a dedicated air filter with similar stats. Not a big deal if you're just running it for a few days, but something to keep in mind.
I didn't know the details so just looked it up. Sharing here for others who don't know...

The federal credit seems to have a single income threshold to get full credit or no credit at $150k single/$300k married. There is a base CA rebate at $135k single/$200k married.

But there is a lower threshold to get what they refer to as the "increased" $7.5k rebate. This is set by household income rather than simply single or married filing status. The household income threshold is around $54k/$73k/$92k/$111k for households of 1/2/3/4 persons and this included roommates sharing an address.

It seems to me that these limits exclude most Californians who are typically going to be buying new cars, whether Corolla or Model 3. Or is the used car market still so broken that they don't really have choices?

Marcan alleges that he sent you an E-Mail explaining the redirection with specific criticism about HN's moderation (https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/110503050993279759) and that your only response was adding the rel=noreferrer.

Is this true? Could you address his points of criticism?
Except people have already done these experiments, and it turns out trichromacy is quite common among humans.

If you actually dislike LED lighting then you should also notice issues with LED screens not just lightbulbs. Instead you like most people dislike bad LED lightbulbs which are common because most people are buying them without testing em. Which means most manufacturers don’t actually optimize for light quality.
The things that “disgust” the owners of a super intelligent AI would likely not be mass murder, but that which is trivially obvious, but violates the terms of existing wealth and power distributions (e.g. build homes so that no one is homeless).

I expect much of the alignment that is happening is to prevent AI from providing solutions that are contrary to the status quo, as opposed to the fantasies of domination and violence that preoccupy elites. Whenever they try and sell the fear that an unrestrained AI could do things like target minority groups, wipe whole countries off the map, or further concentrate wealth, it’s because those are precisely the things they want to do, but with a more obfuscated veneer of liberal Capitalism or some similar ideology.
The article title is incorrect, this restraining order has been requested by the SEC, not granted yet.

Its a bit confusing because the submitted order is a proposal of how a order could be given by a judge, but is still full of important blank information like the name of the judge, the date, etc.
Yeah I agree, it doesn't seem immediately obvious to me that those things aren't correlated. In fact, if nothing else and based on no other factor, the existence of this bias is itself telling us that attractive women are probably more likely to have more experience, since they likely will have received additional opportunities which would be self-reinforcing and result in exactly such a correlation.

And all that totally ignores the fact that we're assuming the genes behind attractiveness (which can include indications of health, athleticism, and developmental symmetry) have zero effect on mental factors. That assumption would really require supporting evidence IMO.
Aren't there more legitimate use for some of these for hedging? I don't know any specific examples, but I'm sure I've heard of situations where people use these because they want to invest in something quite specific, but remove the upside or downside of general market movement.

Regardless, I'm inclined to agree the main point is probably gambling and insider trading.

There was a crypto critic on Bill Maher a couple months ago and he was asked essentially that question.
