Not directly related to the music. But I noticed that most games that I s/pirated/borrowed when I was young, I then bought them legally (on Steam/GOG, but when on sale) when I started making money (have a job). I don't even play them again, just the sense of "owning" them makes it worth buying. I don't know what to call this phenomenon. Guilt?
Well that sucks...

(Although this is the kind of protest I can get behind)
That’s why I always push telemetry onto a team. Concurrency and resource bugs are extremely expensive per iteration. Anything that can hint that the problem you are certain happened somewhere in a two month period was more likely to have happened in a particular week saves you a ton of work.

The human brain struggles when it has to execute almost, but not quite, the same exercises over and over again. It becomes a blur and after a while you can’t recall if you ran all of the steps this cycle (if you can’t automate the test well) and all it takes is typing “bad” when you meant “good” to end in failure. Which doesn’t sound like a big likelihood but when you’re testing a negative it’s much easier to get your wires crossed.
It has hardware IRQ muxing, this is the driver (https://github.com/smaeul/linux/commit/16eafe2078ebe9306d095...), we already use if for booting off sdcard/ethernet/usb etc..
The creator is almost always separate from the broadcaster (or streaming company). The latter just funds programming lineups and sells ads or rights to people who sell ads. They couldn’t care less about quality as long as quarterly earnings trend upwards. To them, it’s just blind function maximization.
I would also prefer to manage my download clients from prowlarr but for some reason the maintainers are conceptually opposed to that.
That's an extreme high stress situation though. No one sane would attribute the higher blood pressure to primary hypertension when there are secondary causes that explain it. There are even cases where lowering the blood pressure can lead to worse outcomes.

You act as if this is a brave new experiment in deregulation but this is how it already is in many places. Dozens of workers have died from heat stroke in the past few years in Texas while working construction and many cities do not have water break rules (its just those to chose to enact them that are having those laws overturned). It is widely believed that the actual amount of people who die is much higher but due to the insurance reasons you mention those deaths are often categorized as not being related to worker mistreatment. Worth pointing out the people running crews are pretty far removed from their company’s insurance policies so your idea that’s on their mind when deciding whether or not to enforce water breaks seems shaky to me.
I tried it myself and I agree with the reply--it's really not a problem. The email is optional and they provide a "smash keyboard" button to enter a random username. If you don't enter an email, that's it; there's no personal information.
I've been asking: When the things that happen in a healthy free market aren't happening, what does that mean? (Maybe too abstract because I haven't got an answer from those I ask.)
How do you think the market was doing solving this problem before the rules were put in? What led to the rules being put in in the first place?

Discoverability is rather hard, not all YTers will announce their alt channels. I’ve found the most luck with LBRY/Odysee, especially STEM channels, and they even have a plugin for this[0]. However I haven’t tested it personally.

I also suggest using Invidious for getting YT RSS feeds, its incredibly simple and a much cleaner (and more private) experience all around.

Depends on what you consider "far down the road" and what they had to do before writing a compiler and a storage engine.

How long did it take until Facebook engineers realised that their technology stack was not the best tool for the job? It definitely wasn't the day when they decided to build a compiler and a storage engine.
My biggest thing is google email and voice, particularly voice as I've used it for everything as my contact since they acquired grandcentral for ~15 years. I don't use sheets or drive, I pay for workspace mostly for my personal email and for phone call forwarding and screening.

I don't know how I'd replace gvoice, but email is easy.
Great! Now try it in any other list view in any other app.

In many countries Israel is hated as the aggressor by the people at large and when these countries are non democratic then they are supported by the Israel and west to keep those non democratic people in power. In many cases Israel will have approval under the table from US and other western countries so they can help despots in these countries without their own voters/population realising that they are involved in helping these despots.

I remember when they added the new themes, and hold-to-increase in the timer and alarm app, which are 100% my biggest use-cases.
Wet bulb temperature would be when the climate gets so hot that perspiration will not cool the body down. It’s a real risk in coming years that will result in death, particularly if it combines with peak AC load to black out a grid for several days.

Sorry but no, I don't think it was a relevant or insightful comment about the quality of the cli tool or even Jira in general.

One reason I have for thinking this way is that you call me disagreeing with you as "misinterpretation" rather than what it is: someone who has all of the facts, an understanding of the situation, and who is arriving at a different conclusion than you.

It's clearly important to you that I don't understand what you said, rather than disagree with it.
As I mentioned in a sibling, I quite like Zulip. But its problem is pretty simply that people have limited attention span, willingness to change, and most people in the tech space already have Slack on the brain and Discord is probably at least passingly familiar.

Asking people to put up with a third thing--a third set of ways to do things, a third app on the taskbar or on the phone--is asking a lot of people in the current hellscape. (It's a lot like how most groups just quietly let that one person who only uses Telegram and won't use Signal/WhatsApp/the group preference du jour...drift away.) That's not Zulip's fault, but also kind of disqualifying unless you consider that filter a feature. And if that's a feature to you, your desire for a community is probably nontrivially smaller and stubbier than that of folks who are using Discord in the first place.
I am probably wrong, but aren't airlines mostly privately held companies (for profit) while public transportation is owned by municipalities?

The whole "government owned" and "multi class" sort of draws some very loose parallels to racial segregation of the past to me...something that was fought against so we could all get equal treatment. When you add on public funding and special interest groups, this just seems like a total no go.

In the public sphere, the best, most effective solution is rarely the one chosen...

I am just thinking out loud...
Is many small propellers really more efficient than few big ones? Even if they didn't want to make a mini-helicopter, they could've also went with a 3-4 rotor design.
This article feels like it was written by a disaffected '00s developer who misses Capistrano.

The point of this article is to associate containers (a foundational technology) with "severless", which peaked as a search term back before the 19 in COVID19.
Yeah, that's just aging, fortunately.
I found them out myself when making our own implementation of the model. We test our outputs against upstream models. In decoding without history, our tests passed, but in decoding with history there was a mismatch between our implementation and the upstream implementation. Naturally, I assumed that our implementation was wrong (being the newer implementation, not sharing code with theirs), but while debugging this I found that our implementation is actually correct.

Then I was planning to report these issues. Someone else found the causal mask issue a week earlier, so there was no need to report it:

https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/103082

I reported the issue with rotary embeddings in a discussion of problems that people were running into trying to use KV caching:

https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b/discussions/48#648c...

More in general, I am not sure what the best place is to track these issues. Maybe a model's discussion forums?
I have seen it validated by reality several times… more times than the opposite. I had a boss refuse to let me do a refactor that changed these sketchy dynamic field tables into json columns because “it’s not customer facing.” They were unable to show off features in an important demo because the endpoints were timing out despite putting 2 other people on it for 2 weeks to find code-based optimizations.

3 days later I deployed my “nice to have” fix and the performance issues disappeared.

I’ve also seen a company stall out scaling for years and lose multiple million-dollar customers despite having a novel in-demand, market leading product because they refused to do anything to clean up their infrastructure.

Even if 720 were the right number, that takes 10 bits, not 8.

Ask HN: Where do I get a headset for my big head
Not sure if I have a big head, just a big jar, or if I’m just over sensitive - But I really dislike how tight standard headsets squeeze my head. I currently wear some old beats that I’ve broken and taped back together, so they apply no pressure at all. But it don’t look too good, and they easily fall off my head. I cant seem to find a headset thats adjustable. The standard pull down adjustments don’t really affect how tight the squeeze is, atleast bot enough for me.
Really this case is a "don't whizz on the electric fence" law. That is the law isn't for anybody rational and remotely intelligent. We know that most people don't whizz on electric fences, but the preventable damage done by those stupid enough to do it without the law is a certainty, and having the law makes things smoother. The question "Did they offer the required water breaks." is easier to answer than "Were they negligent?" even if they are synonymous in this case.
On a large/quickly growing team the risk is folks begin to not respect the modularity and you end up with just a regular monolith

Perhaps formalized abstractions around these barriers is a good idea? At the very least better than the 60 kubernetes services at my 100eng headcount team? :-)

I have heard the bay area bart is in danger of going insolvent. It is both developed and under utilized. Given widespread safety and cleanliness concerns, I do wonder if a form of first class would raise use. However I imagine that’s a nonstarter there for cultural reasons.
Amtrak also has multiple levels of tickets/service as do some US ferries. I don’t think that’s quite what they are proposing, but rather a step up in terms of service and convenience.
I just started reading the book (that I mentioned in my previous comment) and I am quite intrigued by the chapter dedicate to "OO requirements"... but it will take me a few weeks to get there, I suppose.
I think you’re vastly underestimating how petty and controlling lower management can be to workers who are much closer to minimum wage.

Go search https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/ for “bathroom” and you’ll find plenty of examples of low wage workers being limited in how long and how often they are allow to relieve themselves.
This doesn't simplify Ellsberg's argument but mischaracterizes it. He directly addresses the claim that his own and Snowden's actions were different, and offers specific, concrete examples of how they were in fact alike in important ways that go to the heart of the comparison.

Of course Ellsberg isn't the final word and I'm confident no one here thinks that. I assume it's okay by you if discussion continues rather than wait forever for "history" to tell us what to think.

Your view of Snowden is fairly well-known round these parts. If you're concerned about Ellsberg's name having outsized influence on the subject, it seems more in keeping with the spirit of HN for you to tell us why he's wrong in this op-ed rather than roll eyes at the idea of hearing Ellsberg's own response to Snowden v. Ellsberg.

A wonderful thing about history is that it's never really finished: No presumptuous authority can tie a ribbon on a topic and close it.
"The problem is so bad that some of these systems could be taken down by an enthusiastic child – the vulnerabilities are publicly known, and pre-made malware is readily available. It keeps me awake at night worrying that at any moment, a key HMRC system or a hospital might get taken down because we have not got the most basic protections in place."

Scary.

This is why I practice over employment. The winning strategy in tech as an employee is to do the bare minimum across many companies, not accomplish anything at your employer, as it won’t make a meaningful difference in your pay.
I tried zoho like 10 years ago, it was the worst clone of everything, all slightly dysfunctional, and just a dupe of other products I'd rather use the real ones. Plus constant insecurity over the years made me laugh to leave and never go back.
The second part might be summarized as “when technology starts to diverge from the business model, or vice versa, both become messy.”
Maybe I'm just biased, but I assumed they were talking about trains and metros which aren't affected by traffic.
Expanding on other comments: binary search is extremely sensitive to false positives and false negatives… false information generally. While other approaches will still put you in the right ballpark even with some amount of incorrect information, a binary search with a single flipped bit will consistently land you in entirely unrelated areas, so you need to be _damn_ sure your “git bisect good/bad” is correct.
Fungible people considered less valuable than visible extroverts - not surprising. Given that the suits and money people run the place, such people are seen as valuable. The "cost centre", whom are incomprehensible and never seen, aren't so valuable. I was told a long time ago that "only salesmen make money for the company, the rest are just cost centres". Doubt that's changed.

Notice they never outsource management.
This seems wild to me (I believe you, it's just wild). A quadcopter has to be registered above 250 grams, this requirement goes away if there's a human inside?? Feels like this area between an unmanned drone and the smallest manned airplane is missing regulation.

While Netflix has a good reputation, we should not give blanket benefit of the doubt, especially since the parent comment was a rather interesting and inquisitive one.
As a lifelong Texan who now lives in California— Texas has absolutely no problem overriding municipal and county governments, the biggest of which are solidly blue. It’s a pattern they’ve repeated for over 20 years, often more so as a show of force than anything that affects things at a state level:

- Local “bag charges” and “bag bans” on non-reusable plastic bags at grocery stores were outlawed in 2018.

- Anything that has to do with attempts at gun restrictions in cities (auditoriums/malls/etc) gets overridden every year.

- Just this year, the state passed a law with explicit language exclusively targeting its biggest county, Harris County (Houston), disbanding its election commissioner position and that the state AG has the ability to re-call elections in the county if he believes there was “enough fraud”.

There’s so much more, but “local control” is not a term which holds much water in Texas. The other side of the coin is that, unlike California, this philosophy is also reflected in Texas’ zoning codes, and as such it’s much easier and much more consistent across cities to build — developers in cities begin to bemoan when permits take more than 3 months in Texas cities, whereas in Los Angeles years would be the norm
Is it? Show me the numbers.
How does this compare to the original LLaMa models? Are these just as good for fine tuning?
It is fascinating that semantic confusion over RISC vs CISC persists since I was in college in the 80's. It is largely meaningless.

The naive idea behind RISC is essentially to reduce the ISA to near-register-level operations: load, store, add, subtract, compare, branch. This is great for two things: being the first person to invent an ISA, and teaching computer engineering.

Look at the evolution of RISC-V. The intent was to build an open source ISA from a 100% clean slate, using the world's academic computer engineering brains (and corporations that wanted to be free of Arm licensing) ... and a lot of the subtext was initially around ISA purity.

Look at the ISA today, specifically the RISC-V extensions that have been ratified. It has a soup of wacky opcodes to optimize corner cases, and obscure vendor specific extensions that are absolutely CISC-y (examine T-Head's additions if you don't believe me!).

Ultimately the combination of ISA, implementation (the CPU), and compiler struggle to provide optimal solutions for the majority of applications. This inevitably leads to a complex instruction set computer. Put enough engineers on the optimization problem and that's what happens. It is not a good or bad thing, it just IS.
In Switzerland, trains do have first-class. The train system in Switzerland is wonderful, so I’d settle for regular class. I would not drive a car there.

I forgot my bag on the train once. I reported it and they emailed me on the same day confirming they had found it and asked if I wanted it mailed to me, or I wanted to pick it up at a station of my choice. That service cost €20, but because I had the commuter card, I only paid €10.
""Will this work for 1000 simultaneous users?""

Whenever someone asks me this question, I reply with a question "How many simultaneous users do you/we have today and what is our projection say for 12-18 months from now ?". If the answer is not clear, I tell them not to worry yet. If the answer is very clear but numbers are much smaller today (say 5-10), then I challenge them on where they think they/we could be in 12-18 months. A lot of times, it helps the other side see that they are mostly asking "How long is a piece of string".
Oh man, this is a nostalgia bomb. I wish this had a search feature, so I can't find my favorite one, though I'm sure it's on there. Author if you are here, I'd love the ability to search, rather than scroll through thousands in a drop-down on mobile.

This isnt specifically Colab or HF, but have you checked out any of the community Runpod templates? Theres a few out there that give you a mostly turnkey way to deploy models and test via Oobabooga, koboldai, or similar.

I use the one-click UI from TheBloke pretty frequently for inference testing, and I know theres some newer ones that also give you fine-tuning capabilities as well.

Amtrak has sleeper cars. And every public passenger train system I know of has classes, because otherwise you lose ridership.
> you suggestion fails in the relevant problem domain, which is social networks

You say this when I’m talking to you through my RSS reader’s built-in browser. That seems pretty social to me.

I’ve done the same with Reddit, and if Lemmy is truly as RSS-filled as this thread has led me to understand then the same is possible via Lemmy.

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it “fails”.
I gave up on this article when I found out that the first hypothetical scenario has no relation to reality.

Implementing something else “because if they implemented the real spec they would get bored” is too much psychology.
"It's time we stopped believing in the Free Market Fairy" <https://bitworking.org/news/2008/01/the-free-market-fairy/>
The best comparison I could make with Pascal is by comparing it to NixOS...

Some people love NixOS and can't do without it -- but many other people will not need it and not use it and see no purpose for it in this lifetime...

It's an acquired taste.

We might ask a broader philosophical question, and that is:

Why should people want to become computer programmers in this day and age -- if there's enough pre-existing software to suit any need for software?

In other words, why become a video game programmer -- if every possible video game that you could ever want, already exists?

Or, why become a plumber -- if there are tons of plumbers and plumbing services are plentiful and inexpensive?

Perhaps you are asking me why I individually value Pascal as a language...

If this is your question, then my answer is a historical one:

Pascal (in its earliest historical incarnations) and C (also, in its earliest historical incarnations -- which I also equally value) -- are descendants of Algol, siblings in the "Algol Tree" -- languages descended from Algol, which descended from Fortran...

We see in these early languages a shift from assembler code to a somewhat human intelligible symbolic language with very few symbols (the keywords, in effect), and that language is deterministic (compare to today's AI, which can use an almost unlimited set of symbols and is usually non-deterministic -- the same input can result in multiple differing outputs).

In summation, Pascal (at least, early Pascal, not newer variants like Object Pascal), at least to someone with a historical interest of how things evolved -- is an important step between "pure" (or relatively pure) assemblers -- and higher level languages.

You know, we have (or are going to have in the future) -- the same problem with Lisp, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python -- that we do/did with Pascal...

Which is this:

The current-day problem: Why should I learn (Assembler, Fortran, Algol, Pascal, C, etc.) when (Lisp, JavaScript, Java, Python, C++) -- is so much more functional, and does so much more for me?

The future problem: Why should I learn Lisp, JavaScript, Java, Python, C++ -- when ChatGPT (or other AI) -- does so much more for me?

?

Anyway, I'm glad you originally asked me to pitch Pascal to you...

That's because I wouldn't have seen the broader pattern of where society may be going in the future had I not written this...

So, great question!

Hope I answered it, at least somewhat...
This is going to be fun to watch from a distance! lol
> No stock buybacks. Illegal in the US from the 1930s to 1981.

Fascinating point. Out of forensic interest: Did Reagan campaign on legalizing stock buybacks? Or did Wall Street get his ear later on that one?
Either the market isn’t healthy or the understanding of what happens in a healthy market is wrong.
