All of those statements were Maudlin's opinions. I personally don't see why it's objectionable for two branches of the wavefunction to exist simultaneously past entanglement with an outside system, but most of all I just don't care anymore.
Learning needs to be effortful to be effective
Multimodal/multimedia transformers models have lots of juice left in them.

- The output can be much better with better input (multiple text blocks, images, video, sound and such).

- The collective training dataset is much better with labeled/associated video, audio, static images and text.

- I suspect previous models can be used to augment human datasets without too much risk of "AI inbreeding." For example, imagine asking an LLM to reword a text page, or a image model generate a variant of an image. Now picture this in a multimedia dataset, with (for instance) a model more accurately labeling video, or producing image variations with associated audio/text as inputs.
Everyone is laughing and making puns, but if someone can actually secure the proper regulatory approval and make a penis enhancement procedure safe, effective, and side effect free they will effectively print money. The demand for this sort of procedure is enormous.
How is this not seen as a vulnerability in nginx? This behavior is utterly absurd, seems to have no beneficial purpose, and straightforwardly exploitable.
Good enough for daily time-frames, and since you don't have to pay.
Yeah. Many database tables are too large for an in memory hash join.

My comment was a not very well fleshed out tangential remark on the value of practicing DS&A problems. I know a lot of devs hate Leetcode style interviews. I get it. It's not fun. But contrary to what some people say, I have run into a fair number of situations where the practice helped me implement more efficient solutions.
Exactly. There are existing mechanisms[1] to tell Google that it’s not allowed to scrape/index your site.

Deadline? You wrote as if they were stalling or an unreasonably long time has passed, when hardly any time had passed at all.
Unfortunately, vectors in Zig are the kind you use in SIMD and not in graphics programming. Perhaps there's some overlap, but I'm unfamiliar with both fields so I can't say to what degree.
> if the intent of legacies is raising money

Precisely.

It is the same reason that they give special consideration to the children of large donors. (The main reason universities objected to recent admissions bribery schemes is that they sidestepped the official system and the money did not go directly into the university's coffers.)

And it's why they engage in price discrimination based on "ability to pay."

As has been noted elsewhere, universities - especially elite universities - are ruthless capitalists.
Are you sure you're not just experiencing some other difference in manufacturing, like a difference in the matte finish?
Nowadays, I think it is doable with modern displays.

My 165Hz 1440p 32" (31.5") LG with 8 bit color and two external speakers consumes ~20W, measured at the wall.

My 14" laptop screen is about 19.8% of the area of that display. I have loosely measured it from ranges of ~<1W at min brightness to ~8W at max brightness. It is 1440p, 60Hz, 14", HDR (DV). I usually run it at ~20% brightness, which seems to be around 3W.

My office has the usual LED lighting at night or a large window + sliding glass door during the day. Not a dark cave by any means!
I wonder if that would be enough for things like VHS where it was recorded on the diagonal. I suppose with enough resolution you could capture it all linearly and account for the angle in software.
> When I lived in America, it seemed the consensus of anything under a 9 is killing puppies.

I also get the impression that American grades are like this:

- A is good. You made an effort.

- A [however modified with +/++]: great job!

- C is terrible. You skipped all classes or fell into a coma.
I was going to correct you to say she, but I figured I'll double-check, since these days you can't exactly infer someone's pronouns from a profile photo thumbnail - so I clicked the CEO's name, and instead their profile page, I got...

...the most hostile implementation of CAPTCHA I've ever seen, outside of jokes (like "solve this integral to post the comment"). Some kind of manual "do math with some ugly low-resolution icons, and use arrow buttons to find matching image with the ${math result} number of ${ugly low-resolution icon}". And you have to do it 5 times. I gave up after the first, no way I'm wasting couple minutes on going through bullshit like this.

Sorry for this bit of negativity, but I think it's on point in the overall context of this submission.
At least they don't replace the whole engine when the ECU fails. That would be more like what Apple is doing.
Sounds like the better product was pulled and the remaining option is causing permanent genital harm.

That’s not particularly funny.
You're 100% right regarding the team and its dynamics. I came from (and led) a team that had strict PR, but the difference is that we had well-established 'rules of engagement' so to speak, and just being decent people meant tone was never a factor. Unfortunately the product was given the 'tools down' order.

It's.. quite different where I am now. Change requests for untouched/irrelevant code, tone problems, etc. I'd be inclined to try and 'raise the tide' but I'm just trying to leave instead for many other reasons.
I guess we’ll see now with the 600 tweets limit unless you pay.
They wouldn’t need to ask for it, they’d just buy one of those diy-gene-test/family-history companies.
Quite a few. At least one for each of the major consoles.
The point isn't to have more pixels, it's to have more detailed pixels. You use scaling to get whatever display size you want.

4k 27" with 2x scaling is effectively the same size as 1080p 27". But one looks like absolute crap, the other is reasonably sharp and detailed. Text is much better with higher PPI. And 4k27" is just 160 PPI, the 6k 32" monitors are 220 PPI so text is very crisp.

I don't know about other OSs, but fractional scaling "just works" on KDE Linux. The size of displayed content has nothing to do with the pixels you have. You control the physical screen size (inches) and scale factor to get the content size you want, and you buy as many pixels as you can afford to get good quality at that size. There's a parent comment on this submission talking about how his 8k 32" monitor is visibly better than 6k 32" for text sharpness; TFA says the same thing. You really want as many pixels as you can afford to buy.

Of course, the minimum (densest) content size you can use is constrained by PPI, low PPI won't be able to display very small content.
My grandfather came to this conclusion early in the cold war as it dawned that humans had reached the point of reducing global destruction down into a push-button. Human capacity for tool making greatly outstrips human capacity for responsibility. You wouldn't give a baby a loaded pistol, but unfortunately the baby went and built a nova bomb.
You are confused. In an undergraduate English literature class a student is not expected to come up with a novel interpretation of a well known book in order to pass.

Depending on the assignment you aren't necessarily expected to read anyone else's take on a book and you aren't expected to make sure you are saying something that hasn't been said before or anything like that.

You are simply expected to analyze the book and offer an interpretation.

And it's not like that's the only way to use the AI. With a few minutes of effort, I just got CHATGPT to write an essay using "post-colonial theory" to interpret the Wizard of Oz, which was pretty interesting.
... they will be overwhelmed by spam.

Damned good point and one I'd utterly omitted in my prior comment. Yes, of course, feedback channels also get overwhelmed by actors with ulterior and/or malicious motives. See recent HN discussions on fake reviews and Yelp abuse. Or even encouraging fraudulent credit card transactions with competing merchants.

A friend coined what I call "Woozle's Epistemic Paradox", paraphrasing slightly:

"As epistemic systems become used more widely or by influential groups, there is substantial power to be had by influencing the discussions that take place."

The general notion isn't original to her, though that formulation circa 2017 was my first encounter with it.

Exploitation implies level playing fields and all things being equal. It assumes a manager had the opportunity to hire the $20k dev and haggled them down.

No one in the US would agree to work for $20k; it’s insulting. In other parts of the world, it’s not insulting and so they do work for it. It’s even a competitive advantage to some. To others, touting a high price is an advantage.

There’s so much psychology going on here. I wouldn’t hire a $20k dev for 2 simple reasons: language barriers and time zones. Could I could $20k devs that don’t have these downsides? Absolutely. But not worth my time looking.
Not always. I’ve seen division and atomic operations stay as function calls to libgcc. However, semantics of these are well-defined either way, unlike user-defined operators, so existence of a hidden call is at most an inconvenience when linking code from different compilers.
An option would be to change the name so it communicates the goal as clearly as possible. People read it and interpret "this" as referring to a specific photo, not that the photos come from the same place.
Interesting that it's an "Instagram app" and not a Meta app.
Idiots. Idiots everywhere.

Serverless is great for event handling and bursty workloads. It is not efficient for a long running or constantly running processes. That was never what it was designed for.

There is a time and a place for serverless.
Yes but this taking off will cannibalise widespread adoption of fediverse things.
If you want to leave Twitter cause it keeps breaking there's a few groups you might fall into:

a) you don't give a damn about openness or tech or any of that but just want something that works

b) your first priorities are "where the people are" and "it works" but federated and open protocols are a big bonus

c) you absolutely want to go somewhere more open instead of another centralized service

Group A is big, and generally folks not on HN. HN itself splits between groups B and C.

If you think group B is a fair bit bigger than group C, but want the open stuff to thrive in the long term, then an initially-"friendly" Meta controlled app can harm you by attracting a big part of the people in group B and then slowly degrading the experience for folks using open clients over time until finally cutting it off. Most of group B won't migrate again at that point as long as they don't fuck up the experience completely.

Whereas if the Meta version wasn't "friendly" at first, much more of that group B might move straight to open things, and then stay there, creating a larger long-term userbase.

It's a way to keep people from fully jumping ship to open solutions by offering short-term openness that will dwindle over time.
So, on one side we have twitter with its crazy policies and on the other side we have fb with its "content moderation guidelines". I don't think you'll see much change since Twitter is twitter because of conflict. That's the reason twitter "replacements" aren't successful: Echo chambers for each faction.
Very cool, will digest all this! For my use-case CPU + lots of RAM has been fast enough, and there's a balance between per-thread latency and throughput (serving data concurrently). I'm definitely interested in compressing down the graph data further to see if I can drop latency further, will see if I can adapt some of this. Super neat to see this on GPUs, will check that out too.

Also a fan of https://github.com/frankmcsherry/COST if you've seen it before as well!
What's a problem now that won't be around in 2070? Elderly and the disabled...
Because only losers use facebook. the cool kids use Instagram, a totally different thing
Yeah this was good timing on the part of Meta. Twitter is done.
We've had the technology for a while now to make an 8K HDR 120 Hz OLED monitor. The panel tech exists, the scalers exist, the ports and cables also both exist.

We'll have this available for purchase any decade now... any decade. Soon, perhaps as early as the 2030s, 2040s tops!

All joking aside, I'm tempted to create a GoFundMe page for this and see if there's other people out there interested in convincing a panel manufacturer to print some 8K monitor-sized OLEDs...

I wanted to play with Smalltalk on a new machine similar to raspberry pi but I was struggling to port squeak to it. Generated C source didn’t compile even though raspberry pi version should work there.

So now what? The only way forward is to really dig deeply into the ‘beauty” of C to make it work? This is exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place!)

Perhaps you are the right person to ask. Do you think it is a design flaw to have vm tightly coupled with C and all it’s compilation nightmares ?

It doesn’t compile/run on the machine, possibly due to the lack of sound hardware but excluding sound package didn’t help. Where/what is the best way to get help with that? Perhaps you can give a wise advice on that.
I'm sorry, could you clarify?
Even if, non-liquid worth is like voltage on a battery - it drops fast once load is applied. Except for batteries we're usually talking about maybe 30% drop. In finance, once you try to convert your large "worth" to cash, it's going to be more like 90% drop, simply from the market responding to what you're doing - that's on top of any bullshit involved in calculating the "worth" in the first place.
Companies that I believe are exceptional at what they do. Those investment usually take a few years to yield.

So far I got the best return on TSMC shares. I bought them way before the Intel to Arm transition, I believe that's when many realized the potential of the company. TSMC also pays decent dividends. Others in my portfolio that did great - Apple, Amex, Visa, BRK.B.
This looks amazing!

A few years ago I was on a small team that did something in a similar space but specifically for internal engineering on the Parramatta light rail project. (dial before you dig style asset detection in the 3d space) + high speed caching layer over arcgis

It's great to see more being done in the 3d browser geospatial space.

But Twitter is just so much objectively worse than it used to be, the user experience is mostly a nightmare for the very people who made Twitter so fun to begin with. The posters have to go somewhere.

Its not that anybody likes Zuck, but they also don't think Zuck will cozy up with Nazis quite so... obviously?

We all make choices every day about choosing the lesser of two evils. That's all this is.
I’m guessing they’re going to try to meld the two together sometime down the road. Branding it as connected to Instagram now will make the transition less jarring.
Amazon bought Goodreads in 2013 - if you had interviewed after the acquisition, you'd have encountered Amazon's style of interviews, which is much more professional and better than the experience you describe.

The key thing for me is whether it's really a text focused app or they ruin it by trying to cross promote Instagram/Reels and turn it into a mindless time suck.

If they get the little details right, I see this as the only real competition to Twitter right now. After trying Mastodon for a few months, it's certainly not it.
I'd love my CPU to be socketed actually. Though Intel's practice of changing sockets every generation defeats the purpose a bit.
Sorry your For You page sucks, but that's a you problem. My For You page is excellent - I see mostly the kind of tweets I like, and when I see a tweet I don't like I tap the not interested button. I actually love the new FYP way more than the old home feed, and the option to switch to the chronological "Followed" feed is more visible than before.
Thanks a lot. I'll read the doc and see if I can apply it on an existing Windows 10 pro.

He says:

> You shouldn't share a secret that someone else could use to generate payments. You should share some type of payload that is only valid for the payment you're making.

He’s advocating for a more secure one-time way of making a payment.

It would be more secure since it’s one-time and could not be reused even if the merchant didn’t use a pci compliant design
> If Tesla presented its numbers the same way that Toyota and Ford did, they would both have higher profits-per-car than Tesla despite selling many cheaper cars

No they would not, and this is a ridiculous thing to say if you had taken even 5 minutes to look at the earning reports of these companies.

Even when accounting for the small differences between car manufacturers on how they make their per-car-profit calculation, they still report their total earnings the same way.

2022 Tesla made $13B selling 1,3 million cars.
2022 Toyota made $18B selling 10,5 million cars.
2022 Ford lost $2B selling 4.2 million cars.
2021 Ford made $17.9B selling 3.9 million cars. (added Ford's 2021 result for a better comparative)

Every car manufacturer does some slight variation on how they get their margins per car figure, but it does not account for major difference you think they do.
Here's a quick derivation based on first principles in high school physics. The amount of work done against a constant opposing force (imagine air resistance) is distance times force. If we assume a constant speed, then there is no net force and no electric energy is converted to kinetic energy, then all the electric energy is for doing the work. Suppose you are driving the same distance but double the speed, that fixed opposing force (air resistance) will quadruple. So doubling your speed consumes four times as much energy but you arrive in only half the time.

This is of course a crude approximation but just drive slower if you have range anxiety.
