Moore's law never applied to GPUs either. I don't know if it even said anything about CPUs, specifically. It's about transistor density vs cost.

Roughly the same tech advances apply to making all three kinds of chips so I think it applies (somewhat) equally to CPU, GPUs, RAM and even SSDs etc.

Bearing in mind that ram lags a few generations behind CPU and GPU (I think DDR5 is 12nm vs latest GPUs around 4nm). And also that Moore's law is not a physical law, even when it was in full swing it was only ever meant as a rough guideline for what to expect over a couple of years period.
Automator should be able to do that.
you can season stainless steel just like you season cast iron, it just requires more coats to hold and will need to be repeated more often. I've seasoned my skillets and frying pans. I'd never bother with my sauce pans bc they get acidic stuff like vinegar for poached eggs, tomato sauce, or fruit, but they're steel anyway so I can just scrub them with wire wool.
Literally happened to me, though it was during COVID lockdown so it's possible things have gotten better.
Better for who ? For who works in tech sure, for the average person, no
I disagree. While you can absolutely just pick and choose when using css as "salt & pepper" for an internal app ("admin" kind of part of a system), once you get into coding for a reasonably big frontend (of, say, an ecommerce site), suddenly you need all the bells and whistles for all the different media query versions of the site, mobile first is now a real requirement (most ecommerce visits are from mobile platforms and google uses mobile view to index and rate your site with Web Vitals) and so you have to know about flex, grid, typography, sizing, animations, scrolling, interactions, layout shifts, performance, browser support etc. etc. as otherwise you have an ugly, buggy, jumpy, unmaintainable mess on your hands.

There's a reason there are dedicated jobs for just front end development. It's a big task, and often for a different (not worse, just different) kind of person than your typical programmer who enjoys algorithmization. It's more about a person's crisp memory and good visual design ability.

For some of us who work as "full stack" devs sometimes, it's a lot of additional crap that you need to know... and so I can see why things like Tailwind (and its paid and free components) are popular.
Visa and Pix are in completely different categories though. Pix does not provide a line of credit.

Pix is an existial threat to banks and their idiotic TED transfers which they charge actual money for. "Banking services" they call it. To that, I say good riddance. Why the hell should anyone pay a bank even one cent for any reason? They should pay us. They should be competing to see who can pay us most for the money we deposit into their fractional reserve scam. It offends me that these banks think they can charge money to update records in a database.
Since this article goes through the timeline I thought I'd give my thoughts on how I see it. I feel like it's hard to emphasize, or even remember how subversive the tracks felt in the early days. Listening to easy-listening tracks poorly chopped was just not cool, it was weird, even other online people thought you were weird and that the music you were listening to was bad, and that was a lot of fun.

I think the bad chopping is one of the most sorely missing things from the newer songs. When the tracks were more actively alienating or punishing to listen to, it made them more interesting, and helped justify the liberal sampling. There was an effort to make the easy listening become harder to listen to.

I wouldn't say it lost its "political" roots because I'd like to think it was more than mere political music, but it definitely did lose something where tracks often felt like ideas, like each was saying "what about this? Isn't this weird and interesting? Does this make you feel something about the modern world, consumer culture, the job you have or the one you will be applying for, etc.?" That has seemed to turn into mostly pure nostalgia, rather than anything challenging or interesting.

I think those characteristics are why people sensed its impending doom early. A genre about ideas can't survive the race-to-the-bottom effect of popularity, especially if a core component is engaging with feelings of alienation by actually being alienating. That's why future funk quickly sprouted alongside, and eventually cannibalized vaporwave, because we wanted the non-alienating version. But all that was was straightforward sampling of great pop music we hadn't heard of with no attribution, which eventually lead people to listen to the original Plastic Love 10 years later because it turns out to be better than the remix.

Despite everything I wrote, a recent album by desert sands feel warm at night did really blow me away.

The heart of the science profession is the scientific method (just like the heart of the firefighting profession is fighting fires), but there are many other activities that scientists and firefighters perform that are not science or firefighting, such as writing grant proposals or doing maintenance on firetrucks.

Ants (today) are classified differently from scientists and firefighters. They are not defined based on a specific thing they do, like "anting"; rather, they are defined based on what they are, and their behavior is irrelevant to their classification.

Historically, animal categories were defined much more like professions. A fish was something that primarily swims; a bird was something that primarily flies; a worm was something that primarily slithers; a beast (the category that ants fell into) was something that primarily crawls. Even concepts like "animal" and "plant" were defined this way: animals are animated, while plants are planted in place. There was a lot of debate on how to categorize lifeforms that exhibited less-than-crytal-clear modes of locomotion, just as there is debate today on whether a given person is actually a scientist or not (do they do real science or pseudoscience? do they do a lot of science or is too little science for it to count? etc.).

This, of course, is radically different from the way we classify biological lifeforms now, although there are a few odd historical holdovers (like "fish", which is a catch-all term for aquatic vertebrates without terrestrial ancestors, even though some of them are more closely related to land animals than they are to other fish).
I feel like custom ROMS have become really good these days. I have been using /e/ OS for 2 years, just like a normal stock Android. I got the phone with it (no need to install it myself), and never had to fiddle with it. I don't have the Google Services, but that's my choice.

LineageOS, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, I think all those are becoming really good.

It's really not that much equipment. Drumset, keyboards, a bunch of guitar amps. Perhaps some horns if your music has that. The rest is local sound and light equipment that is already at the venue. You need 1-2 to load/unload all that and you are set. A band of 6 can tour with 8 people no problem. That's only a 33% overhead. (Then you also need to rent a truck and drive it around, but you can do that pretty cheaply too.)

Main issue is that the 100% baseline is already too little. No matter that overhead.
Choosing carbon fiber for this application probably falls under 'playing it fast and loose'. Because it's a cost savings measure compared to creating the same part out of titanium (strong but very expensive) or steel (not that expensive but very heavy for the same strength) and it solves some ballast issues (because a similar part out of steel or titanium would be far heavier than carbon fiber and you can't discard the hull for obvious reasons if you want to ascend).

What is still a bit of a mystery to me is why the company that built the hull did so knowing what the application was. I'd love to see the correspondence between those two companies and whether or not there was an opportunity for the company that built the hull to flat out refuse to do so because they thought it was a bad idea or if they put an upper limit on the number of cycles.

https://www.compositesworld.com/articles/composite-submersib...

Is a really good article on this particular design, and there are some interesting details there that I know for a fact were different on the sub that imploded. The article clearly states: "Nothing will be mechanically attached to, or penetrate, the composite hull other than the titanium caps. "

A lot hinges on the use of that word penetrate, whether they meant all the way through or just from one side. There are multiple items screwed into the pressure hull on various photos including more than one monitor stand. That alone may have been enough to cause the failure.

What I also miss from the specification as quoted in the article is that there is no number of cycles specified. Finally the safety factor quoted in the article is 2.25, which is in excess of the 1.5 that you'd normally expect so theoretically the pressure hull should have survived this assuming no prior damage. On the first dive...

Finally, the whole 'we're monitoring things and will ascend if there are signs of impending failure' is something that sits wrong with me. Carbon fiber failures do announce themselves by the pulses of individual fibers breaking. But in a pressure vessel you get into a feed-forward loop that would cause such a failure to expand so fast that I don't think there would realistically be a chance to surface timely.
Lots of communties on Reddit have started the process of migrating to different platforms. The federated alternatives like Lemmy have had recent success although I question the complexity of it all in terms of getting mass adoption.

Most of the alternatives seem to be missing the core idea of what Reddit really is (a community of communities). I think first and foremost it's the community aspect of Reddit that makes it appealing.

I've been building a platform called Sociables which is intentionally not just another Reddit clone. We are trying to create an all-in-one place for people to create communities first and foremost and not just posts.

Here's an example of a community:

The yeast works just fine in rye.

(Though you shouldn't use that kind of yeast for breadmaking, if you want it to taste good.. At least get some fresh yeast. (Which not quite coincidentally is also the 'normal' kind of yeast in eg Germany.) Better yet, make a rye sourdough starter.)

The problem is that rye doesn't have enough gluten. So you need to get the structure of your bread from the starches, and they only do the Right Thing when it's sour enough. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36504484 for a slightly more in-depth description.
I strongly disagree. It's just another step towards other open source apps taking over those two use-cases on alternative Android systems. AOSP is still open source, and maintained by Google. So this doesn't seem like a big deal to me, like at all.

I feel like people tend to really under-estimate the difference between "proper linux distros" (why "proper", btw?) and Android. Android was designed for smartphones, good luck catching up with "proper" distros.
There's also OpenLLaMA, which has a 13B version as well and is a straight drop-in (except for code generation due to multiple space tokenization:
https://github.com/openlm-research/open_llama#update-0615202...).

XGen-7B is probably the superior 7B model, it's trained on more tokens and a longer default sequence length (although both presumably can adopt SuperHOT (Position Interpolation) to extend context), but larger models still probably perform better on an absolute basis.
Will search engines turn into searchable gpt directories then?

Supposedly the tech industry here is pretty significant, but there aren't a lot of "HN-y" companies...I think Workday has an office here but that's about it. There's a few bespoke software shops and mobile game makers, probably a fair number of companies that do government or naval contract work, and some "eco" tech - companies that make sensors for underwater monitoring and stuff. I don't know much about all this, myself - as you said, I work remotely for a US company.

The usual Canadian caveat definitely applies: tech salaries are way lower than in the US. And the discrepancy between those salaries and cost of living here is pretty extreme even by Canadian standards.

We're also suffering from the typical West Coast city problems of homelessness/drug abuse/mental illness/property crime.

But, on the flip side: you get the best weather in the country, your backyard is some of the most beautiful nature on the planet, we have a vibrant and unique and walkable downtown, we have tons of great biking infrastructure, and there's reasonably convenient access to both Vancouver and Seattle when you need them. I love it here; it's a city with a lot of problems but a lot of potential.

A good fraction of bugs and exceptions I’ve seen in real python code bases is because the code itself didn’t handle the None edge cases at the exact moment they get created, and hence fail in a different place and let the debugging engineer scratching their head.

If you write typed python code that lets you avoid this while writing the bad code at the beginning itself, that’s a win. Actual runtime errors caused due to invalid user input should of course throw appropriate exceptions deep in the code and bubble up and be handled in middleware.
I had a moto360, first version, when it was released. Well, it was pretty cool. The battery could almost last all day if I didn't use the watch for anything.
Correct timing depends a lot on temperature and how much salt you add to your dough.
> What assets? Defined as you would define them, the things most of us think about as liabilities (outstanding loans) are the same assets.

Liabilities are money you owe someone else. Assets are money (and things) people owe you.

You're playing word games with extremely precise words and trying to pretend that these words... don't mean what they mean.

Its perfectly fine to owe $5 Billion to other people, if you yourself have $5 Billion owed to you. Assets and liabilities cancel each other out in all forms of modern accounting.

> They can't print money, but they can certainly let me use the credit card they mailed to me, and they aren't digging around in the couch cushions for some coins so that they have that covered with "assets" as you contend above.

Are you seriously trying to say that Costco doesn't get their money when you swipe a credit card and pay for your groceries?

The banks that fund credit cards have huge amounts of cash on hand. They pay Costco _BEFORE_ you pay the credit card companies (especially if you keep the balance beyond the payment period), and that's only possible because they have huge reserves of cash. Beyond "just" an asset, like true cold-hard cash that they're transferring.

Now the timing is a bit weird. Maybe credit cards pay in net 30. That's somewhat common. But if they have an asset (ex: a 30-day bond) with enough money coming in by day#30, then that's fine. The bond matures, the credit card gets the money on Day#30, the credit card company transfers it to Costco.

Super-short bonds, such as 7-day, 30-day, or even 90-day bonds, are treated as near-cash for good reason. With industry pseudo-standard net30 deliveries of cash, a 30-day bond basically is as good as cash.

I agree with the addition of the checksum, however I’m curious:

> either by accident or malice

1. if you don’t believe people hand type these then how else will they accidentally enter an invalid? I suppose copy/paste errors, or if a page renders it as uppercase, though you should just normalize the case if it’s base 32.

2. How does a 2 byte (non-cryptographically secure) checksum help in the case of malice?

How much salt are you adding? How cold is your fridge?

How active is your sourdough starter? Commercial yeast by contrast tends to be very active, so timings are shorter.
Likewise, it seems fruitless to argue over a general qualifier when the poster already clearly said they have a different definition. Better to spend more time aligning than talking past each other.

Rye also has different trace minerals than eg wheat or barley. That's part of why rye ale tastes different from wheat beer tastes different from barley beer.
Wait until you see what Australia is doing :'(

Plan is to increase our population by about 500k per year(I think about 200K natural growth & 300K immigration).

We already have a housing shortage. They created a 10bil housing fund. Plan is for this fund to... invest in the stock market, and use the interest to fund the construction of 6000 houses a year.

It's a fucking joke.

People talk about Big Australia(govt policy of sharply increasing population) for geopolitical reasons, but I think it's simpler than that. My personal theory is that the govt doesn't want to go into a technical recession and be excoriated in the murdoch press as bad economic managers because they were left holding the previous govts turd sandwich.

The parallels between Australia & Canada are interesting, but i'm curious why the Canadian govt is motivated to do this...

> A lot of people still don't see how the operating system as a whole is open source

> not having properly supported open source apps is not the best

If your definition of "properly supported" means "supported by Google", I guess...
A (overly) simplified explanation:

- 7B means 7 billions parameters.

- 8K length means the size of input/output is 8K tokens.

- 1.5T tokens mean the training set has 1.5T tokens.

A: What's a parameter?

Q: More parameters your model has, more complex relationship it can represent. For example let's say you have a function f(x). This is a 2-parameter model:

f(x) = ax + b

This is a 4 parameter model:

f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d

As you can see as the number of parameters grows, the function is able to represent more complex relationship between f(x) and x.

A: What's a token?

Token is a way to encode text, like ASCII or Unicode. Unlike Unicode, tokenizor usually favors common combinations of alphabets. For example, "the" is a single token for GPT-3 tokenizor, but "eht" is two tokens (e and ht).

* Note that the number of parameters is more like an "upper limit" of the model's capabilities. If your a, b, c, d are just random shit, it's still a 4-parameter model, but it's still useless. The whole concept of "training" is just "finding the best parameters".
This is why I don't buy the push to edge compute. There is often lower hanging fruit to be concerned about.
Edge computing is definitely the last way hosting providers have found to vendor lock you in. Many companies like 37Signals realize that all the fancy cloud provider services have a huge cost because they literally hold you hostage to the mercy of their pricing teams. In a time of high interest rates, I deeply value our commitment to open source container solutions. The only thing we can't do at the moment is to spin an edge network; that's their mote, and why keep doubling down on edge. They double down regardless of knowing most apps top performance offenders don't include the latency to the end user. The bookstore they mention in the article would be much better off deploying all containers in a single cheap commoditized VPS with docker compose, that'd reduce latency between services, and then they can concentrate on optimizing their app and their DB queries. Don't waste time in saving a few milliseconds between your server and the end user, opening a massive can of worms that includes distributed databases, complex infrastructure, vendor lock in, and many other issues they'd happily charge you for.

I wrote a simple library to deploy with docker compose that includes logging, metrics, and a few other utils. https://lostdock.com
> Insert "they're exactly the same" meme. (Except for more curly braces: fun.)

But the dir can also be auto (especially on inline/quoted content, forms, or multi-language sites), so the browser decides what the dir state is. The example in the article could perhaps be clearer, so I think it's normal for one to think they are the same.

Please see: https://www.w3.org/International/articles/inline-bidi-markup...

Especially when you only have the container (perhaps you are designing a component library), reacting to state is much more secure, even though the browser support will haunt this feature for at least a year, or a couple of years to be more realistic.
