alright HN - langchain and llamaindex - they are not-competitors in that you can use either standalone or you can use both together - who is using which and why?

I've thought a lot about how drone technology, geofencing via IMEI/MAC address capture and tracking could benefit crime enforcement. (Caveat is all this may seem a bit dystopian. But balance it against the idea that our current model may seem barbaric a few years down the road.) Police violence against those resisting arrest or attempting escape is essentially not necessary if you can tag the suspect with an aerial drone, determine their mobile device's IMEI address (just assume everyone has one), and even affix a low power GPS tag to their vehicle, clothing, or person (think a gorilla glue patch on the arm or leg in a sudden struggle to get free). Then...no need to shoot, no need to crash their car, no need to detain. Watch and document the suspect evading arrest, start capturing mobile communications and get a warrant to review them later, fly overhead and watch their getaway with all traffic violations documented. Arrest them as if you were serving them papers for court some time later with an appropriately sized team. Technology should be being used to solve crime. It is a slippery slope worth traveling for the betterment of society.
Well, good luck with that. Surely this strategy will work great.
Well yeah they are, for good reasons.
He realized just in the nick of time that the list of countries that will not cooperate with the US is quite small.
I use GPT to write code sometimes instead of importing a library. For instance a function to breadth first traverse a directed acyclic graph and slice it into levels. Another one to find a node in a nested graph using partial paths. I could have written those functions, but GPT4 does it correctly and faster.
The way it was described was the outside in vision to viewing loop (while layered with app frames), which felt like they were describing the latency or reality lag.

Given refresh rate technology on iPhone and iPad, and the microOLED, I'd expect a ProMotion-like framerate handling:

For what it's worth, some controller lags:

- Xbox One S Wired OC (1k) - 5.2ms

- Xbox Series X Wired OC (1k) - 5.5ms

- Xbox Series X Wireless Adapter - 5.9ms

- Xbox One S Wireless Adapter - 7.1ms

- Xbox One S Bluetooth - 7.6ms

- Dualsense Wired - 11.1ms

- Thrustmaster eSwap Pro Wired - 11.4ms

- Xbox Series X Bluetooth - 12ms

- Dualshock 4 Wired - 13.6ms

Meanwhile, OLED TV input lags via https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag

- 5ms game mode at 120Hz

- 10ms game mode at 60Hz

- 50ms - 90ms outside of game mode

To have camera in, layer compositing, and rendering to your eyeballs, in 12ms, would be pretty quick.

> Jobs that are customarily tipped (I'm thinking food service) have a lower minimum wage they're required to pay than other sorts of jobs. In those cases, the business owner is literally demanding that the customers subsidize their employee's wages.

Tipped employees certainly have a lower federal minimum wage, although the employer is required to pay more if the minimum cash wage + tips doesn't hit the minimum for nontipped employees. It's specified as the minimim wage is $X and the employer can take a tip credit of up to $Y, if tips happen. If somehow tipping stopped universally, employers would simply need to pay full minimum wage.

Additionally, in many states, minimum wage is the same for tipped and non-tipped employees.
So you mean they're doing their job?

They're comparing a small engine to a 25HP diesel engine. A 25HP diesel is what powers my tractor, they're really not in the same class as a small 25HP gasoline engine that powers my lawnmower.

If we're comparing the usefulness of an engine, torque is a big part of the equation.

If they can get a small diesel engine for light load applications like generators or small aircraft, that might be a win so the military doesn't have to bring a different type of fuel (gas) or a heavier diesel engine.

But I'm not sure 8:1 compression ratio is enough to operate the diesel cycle.

The problem is this is not formalized. It needs to be a law (legislative, not administrative), ideally with the individual tokens named.

I've been banned from multiple subreddits for describing stock-based compensation, for talking about AI, for defending trans people, and for worrying about crime in my city.

Reddit's moderation system is exactly the kind of world I don't want to live in.
On sites like Stack Overflow, incorrect and subtley wrong answers are often peppered with follow-up answers. But in a ChatGPT session, I alone have to critique its output, without contextual info regarding the data's source and without a community to help me critique it.

I find that a bit exhausting; beyond simple use-cases, I've found it easier to just do it myself.
Yep, I moderate a sub with ~85k subscribers, and pay $5/month to host a better auto mod than Reddit has built. It does an insane amount of moderator work for us. We will not survive without it, but it would cost a crazy amount with the new API fees.

I will turn it off on the 12th, and we will just suffer without it until we all quit and the sub dies. Oh well.
I'm talking about the difficulty of distribution _within_ the country. Where shipping from city A to city B might mean crossing multiple mountain ranges. These obstacles are also obstacles to maintaining a stable government.

Historically Mexico's economy has been fairly isolated and government has been fairly unstable. This has an enormously negative economic impact.

You're looking at things with privileged glasses and ignoring all of the difficulties overcome for Mexico to get where it is today.
Are there any reasons why searching Lisp word does not give any result? Possible reasons: its type system is uncrashable, its type system is as easy to crash as C program (I am too beginner to know which is true).
Maybe for some of them, but I think a lot of people eat worse and drink more on holidays/weekends. A lot of people with dangerously high blood sugar around holidays and a lot of older folks get/report UTIs.
The better societal rule is to disallow tipped employees from receiving less than minimum wage. A better step yet is barring restaurant staff from receiving tips altogether. The marginal benefit from letting them accept the generosity of customers is far overcome by abusive employers leaning on the guilt of customers to pay their employees something to live on.
It's not augmenting anything at a humanity level. It might give people access to skills that they don't possess, but I don't see it coming up with new styles.
This is true of course. But you nevertheless should not forget about this half.
Those words were about the JPEG recompressor (Brunsli) specifically, which saves about 22% but has a smoother transition from today's .jpg world than any of the new lossy formats; you can bit-for-bit reconstruct the original JPEG from the Brunsli-compressed one, and it's certainly much faster than AVIF to encode with CPUs. You can even insert Brunsli as a Content-Encoding that's transparent to the user (so right click still saves .jpg), and Chrome had an issue open to consider doing that before they backed out JXL support.
"All of these details are publicly available in patents, and were carefully written to not leak anything."

This part makes me sad about patents and original idea behind them. This actually is the opposite of original idea why people came up with the idea of patenting something. To spread the knowledge and to award inventors. Not to stifle the competition.
It's not unreasonable, it's just not gonna happen any time soon.
I haven't looked in a few years, but "The Fable of the Keys" was not available on the web. I had to slip into CU's library to find it on microfiche. Unimpressive paper, no original research, just pot shots at old Navy and Dvorak experiments.

Economists call "excessive inertia" "path dependence".

In most foodservice jobs, there simply isn't enough time to scrutinize the receipt like that. There are exceptions, I'm sure, but my days waiting tables were infinitely more hectic than my days as a sysadmin.

Didn’t finish the article but definitely worth noting that Brookhaven isn’t “small-town America.” It’s just a large swath of what would otherwise be called Atlanta if it hadn’t been annexed and incorporated by the City of Brookhaven
Check out my other comments here. I'm very aware of this. But on the other hand, a line has to be drawn somewhere.
Do you know what those tracking queries were tracking or who they were talking to?

I use Apollo, and Reddit already knows everything I subscribe to and read, what more would they get from forcing me to use the official app?
I’d note that the technological filter only works on captured stuff. Filtering reality like this isn’t technically feasible with external devices alone. Whether that’s useful or not seems fairly subjective, though. People find utility in all sorts of things I don’t.
I'm not sure I agree: the biggest pain point of Rust is that it makes some common patterns from C and C++ non-representable (outside of unsafe). People coming from other languages will likely encounter patterns they are used to that are cumbersome but still representable, with a judicious use of Box, Arc, RwLock, and friends. This means that someone that wants to "just" get something working can implement the same things they were used to, just with a nagging reminder that "they are not being as efficient as they could be" (which annoys a certain kind of people, a category I belong to too). And from this I believe that people that start learning programming with Rust will have a hard time understanding the reason for a lot of its rules, but will not have a hard time following and relying on them. I am convinced that the people with the worst Rust learning experience are experienced low level developers, looking for high performance, that have been experts for so long that they have forgotten what "learning something new" feels like.

With all that said, there are lots of things that Rust could do to make itself easier to learn. I believe it will get there, in time.
- It isn't direct. If you click "20%" on a POS system at e.g. Starbucks which employee gets the tip? The one you interacted with? What about at a restaurant? The cooks? The dishwashers? What about the after-hours cleaners? Are store management getting a tip?

- It creates an artificial friction between customer and service-worker. For example there's someone a couple of comments up worried their food might get tampered with if they don't tip right.

- It creates stress/negativity in an otherwise pleasant/fun transaction.

- It makes published prices misleading, since the actual price is baseline + tip%
M2 Pro/Max were available in January. I think they needed to wait until now to be sure the M2 Ultra announcement didn't have too huge of changes from the way the M1 Ultra was done. In other words, the Asahi Linux team don't have an M2 Ultra to test on, they are getting ready for when they can get some test results, possibly from users.

You capitalized the wrong word. The CFTC is the Commodities FUTURES Trading Commission. After all, a commodity is defined as anything traded with a futures contract (except for onions and movie tickets)!

https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?width=840...

A whole lot of things that aren't commodities in common parlance are within the jurisdiction of the CFTC because they are traded with futures contracts. This includes some securities. A whole lot of things that are commodities in common parlance are not within its jurisdiction, as the CFTC only deals with futures contracts.

Orange juice concentrate is a commodity by any definition. The CFTC regulates futures contracts on orange juice concentrate. It does not regulate its production, sale, transportation, or anything else unrelated to futures contracts. That is the job of the USDA, FDA, DoT, and so forth.

Stocks are securities. As they are traded with futures contracts, they are also commodities. The CFTC regulates futures contracts on securities jointly with the SEC. It does not regulate any trading of securities that does not involve futures contracts. That is the job of the SEC. The fact that people trade stocks with futures has never hampered the SEC's efforts to regulate them.

> If you start a system braiding, it will build complexity because braiding appears to be non-local — and so the tangle becomes an increasingly complex circuit. The cusp of a black hole is a regime we’d expect such topological effects to accumulate.

What about the people working in the kitchen or the cleaning staff?

The creepy algo of TikTok is giving me way better content than Reddit. It actually caters to my interests, not ragebait. I guess the bar to beat reddit is not high in the end and mindlessly scrolling TikTok is a problem.
oh thanks Eric! happy to answer any qtns/discussions
I started doing flat rate tipping for takeout - $5. Not really getting any service other than cooking the food. I wish the entire tipping thing would just disappear. The staff should be paid a living wage. It should not be up to customers to insure that happens and staff should not have to depend on fickle customers to earn what they are worth.

I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly. The statements below are my understanding, but it'd be great if you can confirm to provide more color.

The pre-patch setup would just make the implicit trust policy explicit, meaning any user or role in the account with `sts:AssumeRole` on `*` could assume the role (which is still the default when not trust policy is specified).

This change improves the posture by adding a trust policy to the role that prevents any roles other than those two listed from assuming the role. So this is purely a defense in depth measure, and not really a security vulnerability (unless we say the default, implicit trust policy is a security vulnerability itself :P).

Don't forget the corruption bar. In LATAM corruption has a very low bar that permeates almost everything. Also, businesses move very slow in countries such as Mexico and Brazil. Regarding specifically about Argentina, crypto is also successful because several crypto technologies and security were invented in Argentina. Even if you don't believe it. Argentina is a pioneer in many security technologies and is a top entrepreneurial country.

In the context of this article indeed it does not matter because entrepreneurs incorporates companies in a different jurisdiction, so the investment ends up in companies founder by Latin americans.

That controversy is an interesting thing to reflect on. I remember it seemed very concerning at the time, but now I feel that much the bigger privacy concern is not being recorded in third person in public by strangers, but platform owners recording what I see and do with the headset. Tracking my eyes to know what I pay attention to. Etc.
> First of all, let’s be clear that this was all in simulation, something that was not obvious from the tweet making the rounds.

The story was obviously a thought experiment from the off before they even came out and said it. And clearly nonsensical.

Frankly if a drone AI developed so much real work understanding of what it was, what the remote supervisor was doing. That would be the scary aspect not that it killed someone (that doesn't make sense because no more Yes signals).
True, I forgot about this. So I can just stop tipping everywhere with a clean conscience!
> Regarding the capabilities not sure which one you miss. Do you plan to use it for development, or you want some kind of gaming/multimedia setup?

Honest questions since I haven't been paying attention to Asahi for some time now:

- Does hardware accelerated video decoding work? Including in Firefox?

- Does sleep work properly or do I get significant battery drain after leaving it sleeping during the night time? Also, does it wake up from sleep reliably? Like if you open/close the lid 100 times in a row would it crash?

- How is wifi? Does it work as fast and reliably on Linux as the Intel cards? Supports latest WiFi standard and 6ghz?

This would be my most basic questions to buy MacBook as a daily-driver Linux laptop.
> A few days after the event, I heard from the manager at the housing complex where I stayed that a gratuity was in order to the police officer who had attended!

Did he helpfully offer to collect the gratuity from you and promise to deliver it to the police officer?
That's not true for where I live and yet people still tip wait staff & minimum wage is over $16 an hour here.
The biggest problem in AI to me, is how to solve the training problem.

Let's say, i have some small data to train my robot.

Day by day, i can teach it more things. But i want it to "learn once and creative 10 times".

It's how human brain got intelligence with only not large data to be trained.
Absolutely, it would be stupid to live without a gun in rural Alaska. What if a bear or criminal attacks my family I just stand and throw sticks at them? There are also absolutely environments where either a gun or a smartphone are not worth it, for example a school where everyone is properly supervised, protected by local police and engaged in meaningful learning which does not require a phone.
Since always. If you're getting takeout from a sit down restaurant, even if you're not being served you're still getting service from the kitchen. The kitchen staff is tipped out by the front of house, so when you don't tip from takeout the front of house is tipping the kitchen out of their own pocket.

That's why the customary takeout tip is 10%.

Gambling happens in real world markets as well, but that doesn't mean that real world markets are casinos.

Beaniebabies were effectively regulated and taxed like commodities. Commodities do not require a real-world use. All they are are tradable non-currency things which can result in capital gains.

The speculative (HODL!!) cryptocurrencies should probably be treated like commodities, and regulated as such by the CFTC. The cryptocurrencies that are actually being used like currencies (e.g. actually used to buy things) should be regulated like foreign currencies, which would also be regulated by the CFTC (this is essentially the same exact thing as Commodities trading, but with simpler accounting rules which reflect the much higher liquidity, divisibility, and likelyhood that a unit changes hands). Neither of these scenarios involve the SEC. The SEC should only be involved when coins are being issued like securities (e.g. as a way to raise funding and sell financial stakes in some kind of enterprise).

> It’s going to seem pretty weird when dad is wearing a headset as his daughter blows out birthday candles; perhaps this problem will be fixed by a separate line of standalone cameras that capture photos in the Apple Immersive Video Format, which is another way to say that this is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem.

It makes me think about the article's earlier reference to the iPad's launch:

> Jobs went on to list a number of things he thought the iPad might be better at, including web browsing, email, viewing photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, and reading eBooks.

You know what else the iPad is good at? Perhaps having a wide enough frame, while in landscape mode, such that multiple back-side cameras can be far enough apart to get as good a depth-of-field as the Vision has? And, potentially, at being a preview device with good enough eye tracking (perhaps via multiple front-side cameras) to at least mimic the 3D effect when previewing, before you put Vision on for the full experience?

Dad holding up this kind of "iPad Vision," or putting an iPad Vision that's capturing the memories on an (automatically swiveling and face-tracking) "TRiPod," is far superior to putting on the goggles!

(Apple, please please hire me as your product naming visionary. I have many more punny names where these come from.)

But I can see why Apple would sequence the releases so that Vision comes first; the iPad Vision and TRiPod and accoutrements are likely to be expensive and perhaps even clunky at first, more akin to a pro camera rig than anything previously released, and would need to be justified by a "magical" viewing experience.

Make no mistake, though - Vision is just the beginning of an ecosystem that will be built around these experiences, and one that I think can complement our in-person interactions in a profoundly social and human way.
This seems a bit disingenuous. If you know you always tip a dollar for a coffee (not hard for a lot of people on Hacker News), you can simply mentally add a dollar to the listed price. (also not hard for a lot of people on Hacker News)

How is this a personality test? Just price in the tip exactly like you would for going out to a restaurant.
