This plus the unexpected price decrease on the Macbook Air - feels like they're struggling a little bit in the Mac category. That's fantastic. Apple is at their best when they are struggling.

There's of course also this from the latest quarterly report (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/FY23_Q2_Consolidated_Fin...):

I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive. Next word prediction IS reasoning. It cannot do arbitrarily complex reasoning but many people have used the next word prediction mechanism to chain together multiple outputs to produce something akin to reasoning.

What definition of reasoning are you operating on?

This doesn't really sound like SA, which is a principled approach to avoid the local min problem in descent algorithms and end up with a true global optimization. The general result is clean and impractical, the approximations hard to analyze.

Serious question: why or how does a developer in a developing nation end up selecting macos as a platform? And after that deliberate choice of hardware why do we assume they couldn't afford the $99?

Cost and time are a big part, but not the only part.

A real question is whether we can do with REN alone or not. If we can, good, let’s do it. If we can’t, then we must find something else, regardless of costs.

And by “do it” I mean electrify as much as possible (transports, heating, industries where possible) and compensate where we can’t (airplane, agriculture, cement).

Are we positive that we can make it? And what happens if we can’t? Should plan for the unhappy scenario too?

Optimizing for Performance with Eleventy
I have been in HN since many of the current users could even type on a keyboard, and allow me to chip in.

* They have the right to block by referral

* HN has the right to set up that attribute to the links

* I don't think they are arguing about HN doing it, but to do it silently or covertly by someone in the moderation staff

I wont argue about legality or morals. It looks like they have an issue with the current dynamics of comments in here, and it's an honest way of protesting about it.

If the moderation staff does edit the link, title or attributes it should be reflected at least. Like when they add a date to specify that it's from a few years ago.

Of course, HN users could always choose to protest by protesting and sharing and discussing about the articles anyway. But that doesn't make their point any less valid.

I think I've learned the most about life as a citizen from the sociology lessons and a book written in late 70's or 80's. The stuff they've concluded then still stands today and I'm sure will still stand as long as there are humans. Such and eye-opening discipline and I remember it with fondness. Always surprised when people start bashing sociology for reasons unknown to me.
I'll take this as a teaching opportunity

Here's who can't practically afford that: Someone with 3 kids working 80 hours a week in service or truck driving. Or someone that is disabled. Or someone that has severe mental health issues.

There are quite a few prerequisites that you assume exist that just don't in a poor American household and the primary one that doesn't exist is time.

Beyond the time you need to plan, shop, cook, clean, you need:

-Motivation to do so

-Pots and pans

-Knowledge of cooking and nutrition

-A grocery store nearby (39.5 million Americans live in food deserts)

-A way to get there (Many can't afford cars or can't drive)

-Working water and electricity

TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans have none of the above

And whereas in other countries you may live in a multi-generation home or otherwise be able to do subsistence farming, that's not really possible without land of some sort which almost no poor people in America have.

It's not that new. It's very similar in use case to Meta, which many also think is a major airball.

Great question! A val is a small snippet of JavaScript/TypeScript that runs on our servers. You can also schedule them.

It was however an ICO does not make it inherently a security. Per the SEC:

ICOs, based on specific facts, may be securities offerings, and fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction of enforcing federal securities laws.

And I think it's ultimately up to the courts (unless the SEC eventually gives a definitive answer) to determine what specific qualities make an token offered via ICO into a security, especially because what qualifies as an ICO really kinda varies and how they are structured also really widely varies.

My state proposed a grid battery solution that would have provided power for the entire state for up to 1-2 days IIRC. They didn’t approve it, but the budget wasn’t astronomical. I honestly wonder if the worry about off hours use is a little overblown.

Infrastructure has a history of both being expensive up front and funded. Imagine if the US didn’t have highways and trying to explain all the impacts to the GDP that modern highways make. The price would almost seem trivial compared to the trillions per year of GDP that goes over asphalt.

If you are running Kubernetes in your homelab then, for better or for worse, the Prometheus helm chart abstracts all of this away. The default Helm values worked perfectly for me to gather metrics from my cluster and make a quick dashboard in Grafana. Other than increasing the default size of the Prometheus storage volume and configuring the node exporter for a non-Kubernetes host I wanted metrics from, I didn't have to touch anything.
It's a real bummer that computers should be strictly superior to non-digital technology for accessibility (a book is a book and doesn't change after it's printed) but for economic reasons, it won't be. I can't even super blame Reddit - they're just capitalists trying to make money. It just feels like an own-goal by humanity.

When I started using Dvorak, it was because I found that I could make my typing significantly quieter with Dvorak than with QWERTY, likely because of the reduced movement. As an undergraduate at a time when almost no one else had started typing notes in class, I found that there was a substantial reduction in how noticeable my typing was to others when I switched to Dvorak.
Does the NSA have the storage capacity to hold onto everyone in the world’s emails, texts, and all other communications forever? At some point you’d need an entire government AWS, the costs of that alone seem like they’d be higher than their budget by an order of magnitude.

I agree about the social credit score, we don’t know the fields they use (unlike FICO) so it probably does include private communications.
One person ferrying drugs over the border weekly would be 52 illegal border crossings a year, and no change in population.
The Gleason bound is n log(n) and says that no sorting algorithm based on comparing pairs of keys can be faster. Heap sort meets the Gleason bound so is the fastest possible in this context. Actually the usual versions of quick sort are slower. If the keys are not too long, radix sort is O(n) and faster. All this has been well known for decades. I explained a little more in another post in this thread.
I don't think there's much harm.

If they ever get to a point where it's reliably better than ChatGPT, they could just call it something else other than "Bard" and erase the negative branding associated with it.

(If switched up the branding too many times with negative results, then it'd reflect more poorly on Google's overall brand, but I don't think that's happened so far.)
On the contrary, Bard is a product not a model. If you want to see the cutting edge capabilities then comparing the GPT-4 API to the bigger PaLM2 APIs available on GCP is probably a more apples to apples comparison.

Bard is more directly comparable to ChatGPT as a product in general, and since it doesn’t have swappable models, comparing it to the opt-in paid-only model isn’t really a direct comparison.
I can see at least Ukraine had a little to gain by blocking Russia selling gas but what would they have to gain by losing the dam? A false flag isnt going to impress those already supplying them with weapons.
There are no real "HN mods", this isn't reddit. There is basically one admin, dang, who does not do this.

What is actually happening is enough regular users who have been on the site long enough (myself included) just disagree that some particular piece of content belongs on this site, so they flag it.

What people really have a problem with is not understanding that lots of other people just disagree with them.

More and more things are requiring smart phones. Job applications. Timesheets to log your hours worked. Digital tracking in equipment and vehicles. Insurance companies lowering rates if they can track your car. etc.

The worst that private companies can do is lobby government to make something innocuous but common illegal with unreasonably long sentences so that they can targetedly lock up a portion of the population and use them as slaves.

Well, I think abortion should be allowed until the child is 18. Basically, if parents think their child is a disappointment they should be allowed to cut their losses and start over. /s
Fair points. Counter-argument: Even if we grant that it's possible for humans to create AGI that is similar to a human level, because human intelligence exists, that doesn't necessarily imply that superintelligence is possible (i.e. recursive learning / singularity / the native interfacing with gigabits of data and other things proposed in these threads), since we do not currently know if that exists (and we do not even understand intelligence or consciousness well enough to just say "create intelligence at a human level and then make it go 100x").

But I suppose arguing about timelines is a good way to frame it. I suppose since we've mapped all 300 neurons of a nematode and still have no clue how to recreate its processing artificially I'm pretty skeptical we're anywhere close to doing the same at a level of billions. But I've been wrong...
Ham and cheese are both notoriously expensive though, and not especially healthy. One day of filet mignon would eat up the whole budget, but thats not an argument against what I said.

As for out of touch, I grew up eating government peanut butter and free school lunches. Lots of years that is all I ate. Food assistance is great and we should do more, but jeff bezos hording wealth isn't causing people to starve as gp suggests, food is incredibly cheap. The idea people are starving is rediculous.

I don't understand how this would work.

Do we somehow already have that super-accurate "map of g"? Wouldn't one already have to exist to be able to use quantum navigation? Moreover, would it not also require integration with a gyro and a lot of history to be able to know, for instance, which place it's at of many in any given ocean where g = 9.8100023?

Does g really vary that much that you can figure out where you are with it with sufficient accuracy to do military stuff?

You can't just claim that without knowing the context.
Also I think, if some website doesn't want you to link to it, and politely redirects you. You shouldn't deploy code evade referrer for that site particularly. C'mon we aren't talking about using a VPN to evade a region block, it's one website abusing their referrer tags against another.

This is the poor people are too stupid and helpless argument. It is not true.

Your list of reasons is really just betraying how little you think poor people are like yourself. You are portraying them as helpless animals.

Also, lack of motivation as a reason they can't boil an egg, so they just go hungry instead? Do you even care about reality or just scoring internet points?

So he mentions the "popular" belief that QWERTY was designed to avoid jams from typists hitting adjacent keys in rapid succession, but he doesn't say whether this is untrue or not. It seemed implied that this is false, but I'm left uncertain. Does anyone know?

I still can't wrap my head around the widespread dislike/hatred of Snowden, and politicians still labeling him as a degenerate or criminal that should be brought to justice, while ignoring the crimes and abuse he revealed. Seems very 1984-esque. My own friends and family don't really remember what he did, but remember him vaguely as some sort of criminal that somehow hurt the USA or sold us out. There's also a narrative that he somehow "defected" to Russia, despite the fact that the U.S. government trapped him there during a flight layover, and he never wanted to go there at all.

When I first heard his story I expected him to be hailed as a hero, and thought we might even have a holiday to celebrate him for risking his life, freedom, and career to inform us that our government is doing something deeply unethical in secret with our own money, that violates our basic freedoms. Thank you Snowden.
You're misreading my comment a bit. It's only "free" on a sunny day at noon, because of the massive oversupply. The panels will make money, but at times when supply is lower, like after 2pm range. This depends on time-of-year as well.

You can build and distribute them, but it's very ugly. When a person first tries to open your unsigned and unnotarized application, they get a big warning that the app cannot be opened. They need to actively whitelist it by going to the system settings or by right-clicking the application bundle and selecting "Open" from the menu. And the warning that it gives to users is such that your average user won't even have any idea that whitelisting is an option.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491

While the process is fairly simple, it basically excludes all normal people from using your application if you don't sign them. So any application that wants to distribute outside macOS experts needs to get their application signed and notarized.
Regardless of which side of the political aisle one is on, this is one reason why UBI/a negative income tax should draw attention. I don’t know if it is the best solution, but it would empower those on welfare today by allowing them to direct their own funds, rather than infantilizing them by assuming “government knows best”. It would also prevent or mitigate the “welfare trap” and disincentivize abuse of the social welfare system, for instance people choosing not to work to receive benefits. The third benefit is it would be cheaper to administrate due to elimination of the smorgasbord of different welfare programs in existence today. Yet, here we are.
