That sounds all reasonable and stuff. But it's like saying if you can't pee in a urinal, get out. Go somewhere else.

The fact is that women get harassed far more than men. Taking away blocking will negatively affect them disproportionately. Ignoring that isn't being "evenhanded." It's being willfully ignorant of discrimination.
Let's say you travel every week day once on each direction (480 trips). The average person will be off their expected arrival time by more than 5 minutes on 72 trips. Of those 72, how many are over, let's say, half an hour? In Buenos Aires I could say that those kind of delays are something that I would experience maybe 12 times a year. They happen, they stand out, they are annoying, but I've also been stuck in traffic for that long, about as often.
I really really wonder how the price of vertex.so compares - in practice - to the openai api for use by a startup with unpredictable and non-sustained usage??? The multitenancy assumptions that are part of the openai api cost structure might make it much cheaper. Has anybody modeled this? I realize the LLM’s aren’t equivalent today, but longterm they could be.
Well, part of his criticism is that the UI is woefully inconsistent with regards to "upwards" navigation. If you navigate to a resource via the resource group, you can navigate back "up" to the parent RG. If you nagivate to the resource from the home screen, IIRC, you cannot. That's the criticism.

Yes, RG's are a pretty killer feature, and trying to understand the organization of resources in GCP is hard by comparison, and an utter nightmare in AWS. I'm not sure why he's knocking that. (And … GCP requires projects, which seem equivalent to the complaint against RGs.)

… that said … there are so many other things utterly and horrifically wrong with Azure that I wouldn't put them on a pedestal for resource groups. As much as I do like RGs.

(Also, "A resource group is literally just a folder" sigh, no, because they're not hierarchical. Azure goofed hard there.)
> "We need enough money to function" is a completely different sell than "we want to 1000x our investors investments."

It's almost as though the large-scale abandonment of old-skool small-scale, independent domain-specific web forums in favour of huge centralised platforms was a mistake...

(Just out of interest, can anyone give me an idea of the typical running costs of, say, a phpBB or vBulletin web forum with a couple of hundred users?)
It s also a matter of ease of use. this is faster than searching or asking anyone online
> Audio is 80% of video.

It's 100%. Even god himself needs thunder during a storm that has lightning.

(Or that's what I was told when I did some TV shows and how important the audio engineer on set was.)

Skip ahead to 45 minutes for discussion about the Vision Pro experience.

The first 45 minutes are mostly a recap of product announcements. Discussion about how Mac Pro PCIe expansion slots are used by industry was new/interesting. It was also interesting that there’s not a better story for on-device training of ML models or tasks that typically benefit from GPU expansion.
> replacing thumbnails with screenshots at specific timestamps

so in other words bringing YouTube back to the better. I think there was a point in time in the past where creators were not able to upload custom thumbnails and instead they could only use the select thumbnail from time feature or perhaps even the thumbnail was automatically chosen. I don't quite remember.

It's funny because I have actually found that making good thumbnails really is challenging. I run a PeerTube instance of my own where I host some videos and in general even though I tried to put some effort into making useful thumbnails by hand I think my handmade thumbnails are not very good and it's better to just use some frame from the video itself as thumbnail.
It is unable due to hardware limitations. Being able to run Linux won't help. It only has 256MB of RAM and a very slow processor.
As far as I know from studying history, it's impossible to win without violence

The threat of violence can be both effective and nonviolent. Every battle is won before it is ever fought- and by corollary, it is possible to win without ever having fought.
Yes but the parent is referring to gigabit upstream connections. Very few gigabit upstream services are over DOCSIS. I don't know of a single provider that offers gigabit upstream on docsis. In the UK Virgin Media offer 100mbit/sec up on their top tier (1gigabit down). I think the fastest Comcast goes in the US is 200mbit/sec up over docsis and that's only in certain areas.
Yep totally agree: HFT pays out the ass for any tech due to their very particular requirements.
You could give a try to Logseq
Not OP but: mcycles don't contribute as much to congestion given their smaller size and maneuverability. Also they get about 50mpg.
> High-end PSUs now overlap with smaller space heaters on power output

Technically true, but vacuously. The limit of a standard US circuit is 1500w, which is why you see all space heaters and the good PSUs hitting the figure
This explains the 40mph and other extreme restrictions

Not roasting you, just pointing out something interesting

I've never seen 3 typos that "mutate" the word into a valid word, in one sentence or comment

> I do ant more too. I’m going to call it any more now.
I think the promise that has already been demonstrated with language is that you can iterate really quickly. “Make it a bit more upbeat, ok try more synthwave, ok scratch that try darker electro, ok this is better make the bassline more pronounced? Great that’s what I was imagining”

I don’t think it’s going to displace a dedicated composer that gets the medium they are scoring for any time soon. But then that’s not what your comp was initially.

TLDR there are cases where “good enough” is going to be provided by generative music in the medium term. Unlikely for this to be anywhere adjacent to music connoisseurs.
> Drivers always love to make this argument, but it presupposes that everyone already owns and insures a car.

Have you ever been to New Jersey? The entire state is set up to make it as difficult as possible to live without a car.
A friend works at GCP and has told me this time and time again: if you don’t buy support from GCP _you have no support_.
>how? You know this?

California seems to think so.

>Beta testing with relatively untrained people on public roads seems necessary for either strategy though.

Then why is Tesla the only company doing it?

Mercedes has an L3 system shipping today and they didn't see any need to endanger my life to build it.
Me too but my mental well being doesn’t require constant contact and social communication.

In fact it depends on the opposite.
I create another note dedicated to that big task with the same rules, and try to find the simplest first thing you can do for that task, and put that in DOING section, rinse and repeat until the big task is done. Or if it is too big to do in one go just call it Big task part 1 and timebox it with the same approach. Tomorrow if it is still a priority make a Big task part 2. Edit: about feelings of powerlessness when I am feeling particularly useless or like I am struggling to get things done I make my DOING items laughably tiny, like “get the project running” “find file related to the bug” or even something as simple as “create a branch” that way I get a little dopamine from checking boxes and I can build some momentum.
It was not super discerning listeners (like it sounds like you are) that I meant to address in that second question. Sorry if that was not clear. Rather it had sounded from some of the comments that people were desperate for original tunes (and maybe not necessarily the most highly produced). But I didn't point to a specific comment, so maybe that's my fault.

We may also disagree on how much good stuff there is coming out, but I agree there is a lot of noise.
You're right, that is shockingly low! 43,000 people die in car crashes in the US every year, and only 17 in Teslas since 2019. That's only 1 in 7500.
Something that blew my mind long ago was learning the scottish highlands used to be a massive forest. Ancient humans clear cut the entire landscape and it still hasn't recovered. That sort of broke the illusion of there being some forgotten past of arcadian perfection, where we lived in one and balance with nature. Humans have always been humans. Exploitative, expansionist, perfectly willing to destroy our long term prospects for short term gain. At least in modern western societies we have the power to recognize this part of ourselves, and put aside areas like national parks free from our grasping fingers.
except if you are playing Flight Simulator... in VR. Then even a current-gen build will struggle a bit :)

I was joking with my statements. But, maybe Google has entered another realm where the tension between employer and employees is going to shift permanently. And then, who knows? It's a company of hackers, or at least it was long ago.
Hi, hope you found this analysis helpful. I vendored the code Feb 16 2023 from the main branch.
> This seems like a marketing gimmick by Mercedes at best; the two technologies aren't even in the same league.

You might be right or not but gave zero arguments in your comment. The fact that these safety/regulatory restrictions exist does not mean the system is not more capable.
It’s their language, they can do as they wish.
Soon, we’re working on open sourcing our GPT proxy. As it’s not possible to self serve sign up to a GPT4 API key we haven’t prioritised

Just because you crash that doesn't mean you aren't able to navigate without human intervention. Humans are also capable of crashing their car.
I was thinking of a scenario of mapping our brain activity, like reading functions of some module, or a birthday party, or a business meeting. From then on, we put the machine to generate songs and activate roughly the same brain region of the actual life experience. We do that once, and generate 10 songs.

The next time that life experience takes place, we listen five or ten minutes to the relevant songs before it happens. We do that to put ourselves in the mood, as a mental preparation tool.

That's all. Not creating worldwide Britney Spears hits, or alter our consciousness. Just a mental tool.
Well, there are fundamentally 2 problems here:

* someone needs to pay for it

* whoever is doing and managing that can turn bad and want more.

How do you solve that to be immune to the reddit/stackoverflow disruption ?

Even if it could be covered by donations it there is still problem of any inevitable management of it deciding to push it in direction different than community wishes.

> We are holding this discussion on a classic, centralized, web1.0 forum which - from my vantage point - is one of the most valuable and enriching forums currently online.

Not web 1.0. Usenet and mailing lists(mostly) died for that, as did many "traditional" forums.

> We know this because we're already doing it right here.

Ok, now look up who is paying for that.
We use OpenAI directly, not Azure
A sad end to a sad life.
It's much slower than comparable PCs, but uses about half the power (not that it matters).

that would be true if it was all of New York City and not just part of Manhattan and only during certain times.
This rang true at a very deep level. Thanks for linking.

I just put this into similar words for the first time this week. It's the ambiguous priority that kills my productivity. It's debilitating and overwhelming. "Just do one thing. Any thing." Is something that I've been focusing on, even though I have had past feedback about prioritizing the wrong things, it's better than nothing.
Honestly what I'm most excited about is how this technology can be used, not to arrange parts or even loops but rather in new plugins (VSTs) that implement novel approaches to digital synthesis. Think of all the awesome sounds.

If anyone knows anyone working on that, ping me. :)
I suspect there is a higher level question at play stemming from the "deny" comments. Do you think Barracuda is uniquely vulnerable to these types of threats and, if not, would their competitors make similar efforts to recover?
Kaczynski was a middle-class Western academic who tried to literally cancel the lives of those he deemed unacceptable, which included people from both camps.

Thank god there's a divide, otherwise I would be obliged to agree with you.
He means under their supervisor control. There are "normal" people who do their best to cause a crash.
If this is the mindset of some people it's no wonder that companies would rather deny the problem and stick their heads in the sand.
Seems like they can only patch the application remotely - and not the OS - at least not at the same time (patch OS - then after reboot - let the app look for updates. The time between could have been enough to compromise it again)
I’ve used core i9 mbp16 for almost 3 years and this week I’ve used M1 Pro mbp, seeing hide differences in performance and knowing the actual difference in tests of these 2, it make me think that apple international slowdown and heat up intel macs, like they did (and may be still do) with iPhones

I also remember my macbook unibody 2008 and mbp 2012, with them I could do a lot with 4gb ram, even on hdd, nowadays 8gb is kinda too small for most of programming jobs, it look like macs keep getting better hardware every year and macOS using it more and more aggressively
> No GLSL syntax.

What does this mean? I know what GLSL is but I don't understand what Elm or Gren have to do with it.
That's true in the outer boroughs, and on a lot of the streets above 59th but it's not at all true for downtown.
They’re the top comment now. Sometimes it’s worth to wait and see how it settles.
It’s certainly not free to arrange getting the new device, swap, reconfigure, and hopefully you have HA to avoid downtime.
Personally I think you underestimate access, I've on several occasions while developing small games wanted to collaborate with someone who has a musical bent to put something together.

The problem I feel is that I have an expectation of being able to front the cost of engaging someone to work on a project with me.

Working out navigating a working relationship on a smaller project seems fraught with issues.

I'm rarely inclined to spend dozens of hours listening to soundcloud when I have other things to work on.

I mean yes people create interesting music, perhaps it's a search problem? Knowing someone creates the kinds of music I'm interested in would help. But as someone making things, I'm trying to find someone who I can collaborate with who has an overlapping interest in what I make. Solving for that is not straightforward.

I've had much more luck with graphical art than music.

So yes, even though these systems are fundamentally worse, I can at least "collaborate" with them on producing something. Going from zero to one can be enough.
Well, GCP is literally selling a "platform" to developers. Whereas Reddit is a consumer website?
> I'm dubious myself over the short term - humans will have absolute advantage in many fields for a long time

AI doesn’t have to be better at the humans’ job to unemploy them. It’s enough that its output looks presentable enough for advertising most of the time, that it never asks for a day off, never gets sick or retires, never refuses orders, never joins a union…

The capitalist doesn’t really care about having the best product to sell, they only care about having the lowest-cost product they can get away with selling.
that stuff gets run on every compile (transpile?)? yet it seems that any would-be forker could easily remove it? surely this must all be an elaborate gag or something.
> stunningly incompetent

Not stunningly, just moderately. But generally yes, that's a good description for EU bureaucrats.
Managing to leave out parking costs, which could easily be $50 in a garage is very convenient.

Also, I'd eat my shoe if more than 5% of cars entering Manhattan had 5 people in them. I'd guess the number is sub 0.5%.
Well, whatever the size of the group is (let's call it X) it's at least 1 out of X. Which is almost certainly more than the general population.
What does ”Workstation” mean then? What kind of ”work” is it meant for?

Accounting? Writing? Programming? Video editing?
This particular question doesn't seem like a fallacy to me.

I, like most people intuitively answered b). Given the explanation on the Wikipedia page I went "oh, of course, yeah", but then I thought about why I'd answer b) given that I'm fairly familiar with basic probability.

If you give me two options and ask me to pick between them, my brain is usually going to assume it's not a trivially true problem.

Language needs context for any sense to be made of it.

As a result of the above, reading the question, the intuitive reading makes the answer choices

a) Linda is a bank teller (implicitly, a bank teller NOT active in the feminist movement)

b) Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement.

This question is one of language, context, and interpretation, not of people failing to understand basic probability.

I suspect that if you prime people to excise interpretation of the question by presenting it as the following, the majority of people would guess correctly:

---

"Consider the following two statements:

1) Linda is a Bank Teller

2) Linda is active in the feminist movement

Which is more likely?

a) 1

b) 1 ^ 2"
I know someone who built a business selling software on such systems. Business BASIC -- so basically, regular BASIC with COBOL-like data access primitives and decimal math. The machine had 64 KiB of RAM and could support 8 users at once. Even when I was growing up, a machine with 64 KiB wasn't worth really taking seriously. Those were for kids like me -- the C64 and that. But back in the 70s they ran whole businesses on one.
That doesn't make it any more reasonable.
That road is not within the operating requirements of the Mercedes L3 which is only allowed on highways where such turns are never found.
Barracuda is providing replacement hardware at no cost. This critical piece of information is buried halfway down the article:

> In a statement, Barracuda said it will be providing the replacement product to impacted customers at no cost

Obviously the time and effort to replace a device isn't free, but at least they're doing the right thing by acknowledging the issue and doing what they can to fix it definitively.
What is a good learning and hackable drone today?
My under-ten-year-old and I want to start learning how to use drones. We'd like a GPS and option for camera. I don't know much about the drone space -- any suggestions? What's your favorite and why?
Everything I just said is in line with critical theory.

I really gotta find the wikipedia author and buy them a beer for exactly the quote I need.

> The term critical theory is often appropriated when an author works in sociological terms, yet attacks the social or human sciences, thus attempting to remain "outside" those frames of inquiry.

Identity and lived experience matters to the subjective experience of science, not the objective one. The OP also makes this mistake and gets into a huff about it.

For motorcycles, London gives 100% off the congestion charge. The NY thruway is half off but PANYNJ tolls are just $1 off.
This looks really interesting, I wonder if we can get to the point of having this all be local to your machine. The idea to use embeddings to search for relevant code snippets is maybe obvious to some, but just now getting into this stuff, just blew my mind!

I find that the hardest problems to find are interfaces between projects like a bad frontend call into a backend or backend to backend. I wonder if this could index separate projects & draw links between them
If we look at this from a technical perspective, what is the cost of running such a service?

Something like Facebook obviously costs a lot more to run, as it stores photos and video and also provides each user with an individually generated feed. In contrast HN is rather lightweight and basically serves mostly static cachable content to all users. I believe it was stated somewhere that the entire HN comfortably runs on a 64GB 4/8 bare metal server. On the extreme side I host my personal static web site on my home DSL connection fronted by Cloudflare, as the CDN does all the work and the bandwidth used is minimal.

To the people running these new communities the software cost is low as they're based off an open-source service of choice (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.), and as we saw on Reddit moderation can be done by volunteers. Are the remaining costs for admins, hosting, etc. feasible for a non-profit with some user donations? And can we create more efficient platforms with a plainer style that will minimize the server and electricity costs?
One of the nice things about Anthropology being a science SHOULD be that there are no moral judgements, just causes and effects. Alas, people cannot help trying to see everything as good and bad, and 100% so in each case.
Sure, but then that’s the price of multiple entire laptops. Or 2 Mac Pros. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.
These statistics are meaningless.

How many Tesla cars with full self driving are there compared to regular cars?

A Tesla with FSD will only be using FSD a small fraction of the time.

If we had statistics on the number of hours FSD was active compared to the number of hours all other car driving of all cars we might be able to compared these numbers.

Hour wise, I think normal driving is way above 7500:1.
Most people seem to equate employee well-being with more money.

Plenty of people care more about other job qualities than how much it pays, and a well run business can create a great environment without paying more than average. Look for companies where turnover is almost zero (assuming company is not growing) and you often find happy employees.

Places with worse employee conditions have to pay more, everything else held equal.

Anecdotally, I have certainly stayed in jobs with poorer pay because I liked my colleagues and the working conditions; but alternatively I have stayed in another job mostly because the pay was great.
For real, especially considering since I contributed to the kickstarter or whatever. I’ve dm’d him once or twice over the years on Twitter asking about it and no response.
I think maybe the authors are using a strange definition of "fork": if you fork a project and then take it to a different direction, making incompatible changes from upstream then it's somehow not a fork anymore. I'm not too sure though if that's the thinking. (reading from https://gren-lang.org/book/faq.html)

Seems like a fork to me.

Or maybe the thinking is that they'll rewrite it from scratch at some point which would make it not a fork from code perspective.
