Relatable "story" that matters. I believe that most people watch youtube because they want a perfect mix of entertainment and education. The audience wants to feel like their life will be transformed and improved (even tiny bit) if they watch your video. And they need to feel like they can relate to you somehow, like you're showing them the "right" way.

I try to follow this pattern in order to make the viewer relate to my videos (and sometimes I fail miserable because it's not easy):

1. I have "X" problem

2. I have this desire to become/learn/do "Y"

3. But I have an obstacle "Z"

4. If I don’t overcome the obstacle, it’s going to be really bad (stakes are high)

Anyways, here's a video where you see how I tried to implement this pattern:

(also, I didn't invent this pattern, instead I was lucky enough to run into one of Leon Hendrix's videos where he talks about it)
Thanks for the feedback and I thinks really good feedback.

The CPU is rarely a bottleneck for AAA games, so unless the x86 emulation is particularly terrible (Rosetta isn't) it shouldn't be the issue.

WINE on Linux is able to match the performance of games on Windows, so the DirectX translation layer shouldn't be a problem either.

So it's not unreasonable to assume that the M2 just doesn't have a GPU capable of running these games. And it's really not that surprising that an integrated GPU doesn't match the performance of a dedicated GPU.

It doesn't take a billionaire, even if it happens to be the case.

It would be fascinating if they wished to publish the operating costs, but even without that, IIRC the hardware was quite minimal.
That's because he took virtually all of his ideas from other people who said it better, and thus I'm not sure why one wouldn't quote those sources rather than a known terrorist and murderer? Young minds are often easily influenced and bad at separating the person and the message of the writing. It's kind of like inverse MAGA, where the cult of personality is the important thing and the content doesn't really matter, only its source.

This is an interesting idea but is it feasible? What does “filter these vectors” mean? In the context of deep models are we talking about embedding specific models, weights, parameters, etc at some point in memory with the hardware? Are we taking about filtering input generally and globally (on a general purpose system)?
Quite the opposite, I'd call it a tax on the rich.

The weirdness of the obsession is even stranger when you compare it to basically any other public service. Like, are schools supposed to pay for themselves? Airports? City infrastructure like streets, parks, and rec centers? The military?

No, of course not. All of these things are essentials for the which the benefits are felt across the economy, but those benefits are far too diffuse to be individually tallied up and toll-boothed— which is of course why they are (generally) financed out of the general tax base rather than by private industry.
I can see areas where being able to adjust weights to a wide range of sensitivities is important.

Take the original transformer diagram for example.
https://i0.wp.com/bdtechtalks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06...

See the arrows coming in from the sides of the "Add & Norm" boxes. These come from bypassing the layer earlier. This gives back-propagation a easier path to adjust the weights earlier in the model. The results of the inputs are added, if the sensitivity were comparable to both inputs to the 'Add and Norm' a strong bypass signal would swamp the information from the path with more processing.

The bypass allows for the easy early training to travel back through the bypass channels, but as the network develops more nuance, the longer path will provide additional accuracy, as this improves, the strength of the bypass signal can be reduced and while still remaining part of the overall signal it probably ends up way less significant than the longer path.

A larger range of weights would allow this combination of shouting and whispers.

note: not an expert, grain of salt etc.
So many videos seem mostly to be about to showcase the presenter's keyboard shortcut skills. It is annoying to see them type away in an improvised fashion. I prefer more structure and a coherent story being told.
He thinks dolphins would ask “ Why have you failed? Why have you failed to stop humans treating animals so badly?”

Dolphins are violent murderous rapey predators. What on Earth makes anyone think an intelligent dolphin would give a crap how humans treat animals in general? They’d be just as likely to try and make a deal with us to help us out with marine research, in exchange for helping them to genocide the males in another dolphin group so they can gang rape the females.

> Transit is completely feasible without subsidies if the transit company owns the land near the stations, which generate generous rents.

So basically, you want to subsidize transit by making the transport authority be a slumlord. Got it.

There are no unsubsidized urban transit services in the US. Even operating costs are not paid from fares. And new transit construction is COMPLETELY subsidized.

I live in Seattle and I will have paid around $20k in car tab fees alone by the time the choo-choo subway train expansion here is done. It won't go anywhere near me and it will make my life worse, by inducing even more traffic.
No one is leaving GCP because Google takes action against a non paying customer. Those that do are best sent packing anyway. You want good customers who are partners, not ones that will attempt to extort you. Maintaining these relationships leads to volatile/unpredictable revenue and can diminish margins (due to outsized account management and legal costs).

(speaking as a business owner previously who has had to fire customers)
We already have plenty of these, and they suck at doing anything serious.
Seen this as well in Berlin, as I've come to talk to quite a bit of Indians living here. Life here is better in many ways regarding safety, pollution, personal (cultural) freedom, etc., but in terms of (software) money India can sometimes beat Berlin even without regard for cost of living. Once cost of living is included in the comparison the difference becomes quite stark, especially with regards to services like food and cleaning. So the Indians here face a tradeoff that's more about personal taste than a clear win in any direction.
It is worthwhile with creative writing. For example if you ask ChatGPT to write a short story, you want some originality. Even when asking for an explanation it can be useful as you may want to try different things for the explanation that speaks to you the most.

But here we are talking about autocompleting code. I don't think programmers want the autocompleter to be creative. They want the exact same solution everyone uses, hopefully the right one, with only minor changes so that it matches their style and use their own variable names. In my case, I am the programmer, I decide what to do, I just want my autocompleter to save me some keystrokes and copy-pasting boilerplate from the web, the more it looks like existing code the better. I have enough work fixing my own bugs, thank you.

Speaking about bugs, how come everyone talks about code generation that, I think, doesn't bring that much value. Sure, it saves a few keystrokes and copy-pasting from StackOverflow, but I don't feel like it is the thing programmers spend most of the time doing. Dealing with bugs is. By bugs, there are the big ones that have tickets and can take days to analyze and fix, but also the ones that are just a normal part of writing code, like simple typos that result in compiler errors. I think that machine learning could be of great help here.

Just a system that tells me "hey, look here, this is not what I expected to see" would be of great help. Unexpected doesn't mean there is a bug, but it is something worth paying attention to. I know it has been done, but few people seem to talk about it. Or maybe a classifier trained on bug fix commits. If a piece of code looks like code that has been changed in a bug fix commit, there is a good chance it is also a bug. Have it integrated to the IDE, highlight the suspicious part as I type, just as modern IDEs highlight compilation errors in real time.
It's like any startup. You have to convince someone that the story has value. That usually means putting up the time and work-effort. You could try to get someone to listen to you and hope they can produce the movie but that's very unlikely. It's more likely that a 5-10 minute story will get you a head nod and a smile.

Your best bet is for you to outline your story, work out the structure and get the bugs out. Write a killer synapse and then start writing a screenplay. Screenplays have a very structured format so you'll need to read up on how to do it. Once that's done rewrite it until it's golden and then try to find an agent that will shop the script around. If you can't get an agent then you'll need to go further on your own but that's way in the future.

Bottom line, you have to get started with the work.
Yeah, he was a terrible guy and all.

But stuff got built.

The current inability to build anything is almost a direct result. They delegated decision making to an alphabet soup of agencies at different levels of jurisdiction so it's impossible to get anything done.

Because there are so many agencies, you can't for example easily put in a busway because you need NYC DOT, MTA, NYS DOT, city council and mayor to all be on board.

Too many people have veto, so nothing gets done.

Living in NYC for long, it quickly becomes apparently the vast majority of our built infrastructure was built from 1930-1960 and has frozen in time since.

> Hacker News is in the same camp as any of the big platforms-it’s entirely subsidized by a billionaire VC or it would not exist the way it does.

Do you know the operating costs of HN? How can you judge it takes a billionaire to subsidize it?
One boring and banal problem I ran in to was that it will output text in yellow and some other colours which are hard to read on my white terminal background, and this is hard-coded and you can't disable colours (doesn't even disable with isatty). IIRC Evan didn't really want to fix it because "just use a dark background then".

This is basically why I never used elm: because the compiler is hard to use as I struggle reading its output.

(Before anyone comments "why don't you change yellow in your terminal": then this will break applications such as pamix which hard-code to a black background and use yellow text on that, or applications which have a black statusbar or the like with yellow text on it – it's not so easy to choose colours that work in all scenarios and all things considered sticking to the default set is the "least broken" since almost everything has an option to just disable colours).
I think a reasonable approach to sell would be try to convince the buyers that your QA-as-a-Service would replace QA employees for a fraction of their cost.
Thus, pricing would be a fraction of the cost of these employees. I think it's a good idea. Btw, you can pretty much validate it entirely before getting started: just approach companies with mid-large QA teams and try to convince them of the value prop (high-quality QA at a fraction of the cost).
Proportionally, they are far, far closer to self driving even with multiple people driving the train. A ratio of just 1:100 drivers:passengers is a vast improvement on personal cars which would probably be what, 1:1? Maybe 1:2 on average?

Well, it still involves some kind of public key infrastructure, but encryption could be optional even in https. Linux distros have been hosting their packages on plain http for two decades, PGP signatures (again, not a great example of "trivial", I admit) were sufficient to ensure integrity.

If I need to be outdoors, I schedule it earlier in the day. If we do go out to a farmers market or something similar, we don't spend a lot of time outside. We also schedule walks for when the sun is going down and take water with us.

Arizona, California, and Nevada recently reached a new deal on Colorado River water sharing and there are a few interesting discussions on HN about that. Right now, we have watering schedules of 2 or 3 days a week to keep our plants from dying and these days a lot of HOAs require approval (which is unlikely) if you want to plant grass in your yard (landscape plans require approval). Last week, the Governor signed a new bill that gave Nevada the power to restrict residential water usage if we get into a crisis.
>(middle-aligned, bottom) large icon taskbar.

Wider and wider monitors that are higher and higher resolution, so the bottom left gets farther and smaller from the eyes. Nevermind multi-monitor setups.

>Being a fan of the "classic" labeled taskbar, taskbar items with text could provide a lot more info

Text requires translation/localization, which is extra work, which is extra cost. Pick a generic, ideally universal icon and it's once-and-done. Also, not everyone can or will read.

>the elongated click area is larger and more predictable.

While I agree, ultimately most people are going to find working with a mouse to be complicated and arduous because it's simply not a "natural, human" action.

>presenting just icons means there has to be a second level grouping if the same app has multiple windows.

You can have multiple buttons with the same icon, you know. A good example of this being the taskbar from Windows 10 and prior with window groupings disabled.

>Touch displays? Should be irrelevant in desktop mode.

The unfortunate reality is the desktop form factor has become a second-class citizen, best we (as in us nerds and graybeards and wizards) get used to it because that reality doesn't care for our chagrin.

If anything, higher resolution screens demand circular things because they obviously look smoother than on lower resolution screens.

Quite a few of our transit problems today are actually because of the choices Robert Moses made. However, he certainly is responsible for the rapid growth of the transit system and did a great job consolidating power and getting stuff done.

* He had the chance to buy the land and put transit along many highways in queens and Long Island but said that people would prefer to drive so he passed on the opportunity. Acquiring those rights today would be unaffordable and likely impossible.

* Moses didn’t want black people going to Jones Beach (his pride and joy). To prevent them from visiting he built the overpasses on the highways that go to the beach lower so that buses from the city couldn’t fit.

I highly recommend the book The Power Broker which is a deep dive on the history of Robert Moses. The book is very long and can be a bit dry at times. But I learned a lot about the history of New York and why some things that we enjoy and suffer through today are the way they are.

I recommend the Fall of Civilizations Podcast, to pile on with more podcasts.

Their episodes on Aztec and Inca civilizations, that were brought down to large extent by the spanish, they make you notice that what Aztecs and Inca had in common was that they were the regional powers.

They were dominating their neighbors, warrning and at this particular time they were the leading powers in their regions.

This was one of my first thoughts when I tried Hololens back in the day -- it would be great to watch the execution of my software, or visualize all the messages being passed between functions or different services on my network, and go all in on block-based programming in 3D (trees can be packed more densely in 3 dimensions, even moreso in 4)

I was expressing this to a friend who was involved in VR in the 80s (VPL research) and was simultaneously elated and disheartened to learn that they had the same idea ! Googling around for it now I suppose he was telling me about "Body Electric" or "Bounce" and looks like any other 2D data flow language [0]. Maybe just ahead of its time. A patent about it [1] describes the problem with wires going everywhere and needing to provide the user the option to hide any set of connections. I'd want to accomplish this by representing the whole connectome in 4D space, and then shifting the projection into 3D to hide and reveal a subset of connections. Further visual filtering could be performed with a depth of field focus and fog effect, controlling all these parameters to isolate the subset of the system you want to inspect.

That's tautological. You write a manifesto if you think you have something worthwhile to share with the world.

Same with writing books, asking people to subscribe to your blog newsletter, shouting on a street corner or asking people to vote for you.

That said, who says having some self-importance is inherently bad? Trying to be humble is a cultural and religious virtue, not an absolute truth.

You cleverly wrote "sort" two times without referring to actual sorting in a thread about sorting.

The first algorithm that you linked is easy to explain. As soon as a value has been stored in another location its original location can be overwritten. To get started we move something to an additional location called temp A > Temp. Then we can overwrite it with the intended value Z > A. Then we can overwrite Z and so on and so forth.
