I think this is not a good idea. It is misleading to dig into what people are like in their personal lives in order to understand what they're like in their professional lives. People have different personas in different situations and for different audiences, and what matters as an employer is what they are like professionally, which may or may not have anything to do with what they're like on social networks or youtube.
Why are we using Hacker News? Go post on https://community.qbix.com/ that is powered by Discourse, a fellow open source company doing good work, and that we are integrated with

Why using calendly, zoom, and google? Well, as I said, we haven't launched Qbix Platform 2.0 to everyone worldwide yet. This is if you want to get involved pre-launch.

We dogfood our own stuff, but we also interoperate with everything else out there, such as Discourse (https://qbix.com/ecosystem for example incorporates it), Zoom, Google, Facebook, etc.
I think you meant to link here: https://manifold.markets/QuantumObserver/will-the-lk99-room-...

The one you linked is about retraction, not replication. Interestingly, they're both near 25%, which seems kinda contradictory. The retraction one has a deadline of Jan 1, 2024, but the replication one is Jan 1, 2025.

There's also this other retraction one with a later deadline of Jan 1, 2025: https://manifold.markets/jack/will-the-first-roomtemperature...

So the market leans toward the idea that it won't be replicated, and it will be retracted in 2024 (or in 2023 but less likely).
I bought a used 3090 FE from eBay for $600 too! Mine is missing the connector latch, but seems to be firmly inserted so I think fire risk is negligible.

I went with the 3090 because I wanted the most VRAM for the buck, and the price of new GPUs is insane. Most GPUs in the $500-1500 range, even the Quadros and A series, don’t have anywhere near 24GB of VRAM.
There is good evidence on both sides.

This is unfortunately still the norm in the FPGA world, which I think is a poor decision in the long term for Intel/Xilinx. I wanted to seriously get into FPGA dev a decade or so ago, I learned to write Verilog and everything but the tooling made me give up, it was too painful to deal with all the quirks and limitations of the free tools.
> Real-world objects like these wear out

You just said "engineering". Bridges and roads are engineering as well buddy. And it's not even just the wear, it's the continued refinement and upgrade of these structures which is a constant engineering effort.

> Engineering projects usually have a finished state

This is the statement I'm addressing. And it's just not entirely accurate. Things change, assumptions get proven wrong, there's always a newer and better way to do something, etc.

Sure your widget was probably about as good as you could do at the time you first launched it, but several years later there's better components available. Or maybe a supplier stops making some part you were using. Or a few years later you start getting parts back failing early in their service life and need to make an update. What was once your finished state now isn't.

Perhaps, but as we've seen the law and the Constitution are subject to interpretation and to the extent that the law is enforced.

There are no aliens hidden by any government in the world. It's impossible to keep something like that under wraps. This whole thing is put on because it's a good way to distract the public and all politicians who are tough on aliens get political points and votes.

And just to be clear - you can't simultaneously think that the government has the capability to hide aliens but also discredit that the moon landings (for example) were faked. If you find yourself thinking "well they could be hiding aliens" ask yourself if you also find "they faked the moon landing" to be ridiculous - it's the same logic.
I seem to remember a lot of these encounters and or alien abductions taking place at night and the UFO being illuminated.

I don't think much of it, too little information available at this point.

Reuters [1 or see comment above] says the fire started "near" an EV, Sky seems to know better and says an EV was the source of the fire. What's right now?

If an EV was the cause of the fire, the question would be, if the outcome would have been different if the car was a petrol car of some sort.

Also: Why did somebody die? Why did some people jump overboard while others were airlifted? What's with emergency boats and whatnot else?

More from the Reuters article: "It's a very hard fire to extinguish, possibly because of the cargo the ship was transporting". Is that because of the 25 EVs on board or because something else?

This whole story is made up like the whole ship went "Boom!" and from one second to another the whole thing was up in flames.

The low effort comments on this topic is surprising, considering that this community has many experts in respective scientific fields. There is not much effort to bring deep legal/scientific critical analysis into the subject. Even if this is an extraordinary claim, that it is backed by so many professional witnesses should warrant sincere investigation rather than banter and ridicule.

> Maybe part of the problem is that I'm grossly under-estimating the amount of work involved in "post an interesting technical article to it once or twice a year" for people who don't already spend a lot of their time writing.

I think that's largely it. I've thought of things that would be interesting to write as a short blog post. What's stopping me?

* I don't already have a blog where it'd be easy to post things. I'd have to research what to sign up for. Free sites would spam my readers with ads that I don't agree with, and try to track them. Paid sites cost money, obviously, and may be predatory. The platform could be acquired and/or killed, and I could lose my content or have to transfer it somewhere else. I anticipate 50% of my total blogging effort would be spent just on dealing with all this bullshit. That's time I could be spending with my kids. "Just self-host!" okay now 90% of my total blogging effort, plus server costs.

* I'd want proper code formatting, examples, good visuals; you know, something publishable. I'd simply never get it good enough to post. Perfect would absolutely be the enemy of good. And ideas are constantly evolving and changing. I don't agree now with everything I wrote a year ago; that's what progress and learning is supposed to do. So the temptation to constantly go back and nitpick it, edit it, would be there, all day, every day.

* Nobody would ever read it anyway. It wouldn't hold a candle to the blazing light of SEO spam. Even in the unlikely event someone did read it, they wouldn't care. Even in the unlikely event they did care, it would be different from the way they're already doing things, and therefore they'd become extremely hostile and write hateful comments about some minor point they misunderstood. Which I'd read, despite myself, and then I'd have shower arguments with them instead of focusing on actual work.

So why am I doing all this work? Who am I blogging for? A potential future employer for the one time I'm looking for a job in the next decade, who probably won't even bother to look at it? "You write for yourself, to organize your own thoughts" -- okay, I already do that, I just don't publish it, for all these reasons.
Hugging Face has such a large repository of models! Curious how folks have been exploring HF models to date, and if this notebook-style environment to try out many models in one place would help?
The post is about a specific language. The way that you write the loop without being able to mutate the elements in this language is like this:

for (items) |item| {
}

The way that you write the loop so that you can mutate the elements is like this:

for (items) |*item| {
}

A way that you could try writing the loop so that it's clear that the elements are not mutated, even though you are using the pointer syntax, is maybe like this:

for (items) |*_item| {
const item: *const @typeInfo(@TypeOf(_item)).Pointer.child = _item;
// there's no "drop _item" so unfortunately _item remains in scope but we promise not to use it.
}

I wasn't sure this would work, but it looks like you can also manage with this:

const _items: []const @typeInfo(@TypeOf(items)).Pointer.child = items;
for (_items) |*item| {
// now item is of the correct type, even if items is a slice of mutable things.
}
I used Tim's guide to build a dual RTX 3090 PC, paying 2300€ in total by getting used components. It can run inference of Llama-65B 4bit quantized at more than 10tok/s.

Specs: 2x RTX 3090, NVLink Bridge, 128GB DDR4 3200 RAM, Ryzen 7 3700X, X570 SLI mainboard, 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD, air cooled mesh case.

Finding the 3-slot nvlink bridge is hard and it's usually expensive. I think it's not worth it in most cases. I managed to find a cheap used one. Cooling is also a challenge. The cards are 2.7 slots wide and the spacing is usually 3 slots, so there isn't much room. Some people are putting 3d printed shrouds on the back of the PC case to suck the air out of the cards with an extra external fan. Also limiting the power from 350W to 280W or so per card doesn't cost a lot of performance. The CPU is not limiting the performance at all, as long as you have 4 cores per GPU you're good.

I definitely think my comment lacked a bit of nuance that may have come off as a blanket statement, sorry about that.

My focus was on the types of poorly thought out package choices without the very care you are explaining. We would never reinvent rxjs, most tailwind plugins, or a key example of what you are explaining: Angulartics2.

But on the other hand, my example here is closer to some packages that have zero user base or are, in themselves, a reimplementation. The angular Material example is that we already have a design system with buttons that is heavily documented and tested, it would have been less work than dealing with the package to just read the documentation or ask questions.

> I have no incentive to pay more than I have to.

You have to pay their recurring revenue if you want them to stay in business and keep the lights on so you can use their product. That's the hard reality. If you run your own server and fix your own bugs and etc. (which is feasible for many here, I'm not saying it's a bad option) then you can "pay no more than you have to".
Very excited to see them get this out there. Rewind on Mac is useful, adding iOS would be all the screens for many people.

That being said, this is not the same as the desktop version. It does not record you're screen constantly. As far as I can tell it is capable of recording Safari, and it can source screenshots from the Photos app.

Not complaining—Safari support is probably the 80% of what I'd want to recall from mobile.
The FBI is part of the executive arm of government and a lot of this happened during Trump's tenure as president.
Tom Hanks can generate millions so he gets millions, and Netflix thinks AI can generate millions too, so it's not hard to understand why they would pay a lot for that.

I sympathise with the strike, but I think it's misguided to think they can win against AI. If AI ever gets good enough to replace writers or actors, then someone will make a ton of money doing that. Maybe in Hollywood this will be blocked by unions, but someone somewhere will not have these restrictions.
strong agree -- additionally, there is clear public relations going on, announcing maps like this as "trusted" or "official" backing, presumably for decisions over commerce, safety, insurance claims or other non-security but valuable, data-oriented activity.

100% agree. So many of the responses here are of the "why can't they just eat cake?" variety. Actors are striking because (a) they want to still have a viable career and (b) studios still need actors, and AI still needs humans for training. Do I think any of these commenters would be OK if the script was flipped and instead the deal was "We will pay you a thousand dollars to train this AI programmer for a week so we can then fire you and have the AI write all the programs instead."

If you're open-minded, give the paper a read. They suggest a method, that you can verify yourself, for figuring out which months are likely to be worse.

The paper you shared defines "in the market" as long equities and "out of the market" as long T-bills. The paper I linked looks at other assets you could rotate into besides T-bills. How could that one change (they offer several other ideas) impact the results of your paper?

If that's not interesting to you, skip the paper I linked.

Personally, I believe that type of research is still valuable. I don't structure my life just based on things in published and cited articles.
Yes, there obviously is. One attogram is obviously safe. From there, it's necessary to look at the numbers.

I was into UFOs as a kid. Read a whole load of stuff from Erik von Daniken to Nick Pope. Crop circles, that kind of thing. X-Files. Some things gradually became apparent:

- the smartphone era produced fewer pictures of UFOs despite everyone having a camera

- crop circles kind of died out

- in order for information to be suppressed, there had to be a conspiracy that was simultaneously worldwide and watertight, yet itself did not leak like, say, Cold War spies

- a whole plethora of new unevidenced beliefs would sweep across the world

So: Occam's razor tells us that there almost certainly aren't any UFOs.

What, then do we do with the eyewitness accounts?

It also becomes apparent just how unreliable these are. People can become thoroughly convinced that things happened which did not and could not have happened. People acquire all sorts of strange beliefs, sometimes to their detriment. Cults come and wait for landings that never happen, but also serious men in serious jobs have one report in their lives that directly contradicts reality.

It can be a little difficult to deal with how unsatisfactorily the sausage of consensus reality is made, but it's the only alternative to wandering back into Carl Sagan's "demon-haunted world".

It's harder than is obvious, the odorant must spread in the same way that the hydrogen does under wind and buoyancy.

Natural gas is a bit of a heavier molecule but hydrogen is very light and I suspect that the hydrogen and the smell would very rapidly separate.

A bigger problem is that hydrogen can leak through tiny cracks, and odorant can't.

a little romanticizing:

“Just as some people work because they’re bored, I sometimes write because I have nothing to say. Daydreaming, which occurs naturally to people when they’re not thinking, in me takes written form, for I know how to dream in prose. And there are many sincere feelings and much genuine emotion that I extract from not feeling”

- Fernando Pessoa

“I hesitate in everything, often without knowing why. How often I’ve sought – as my own version of the straight line, seeing it in my mind as the ideal straight line – the longest distance between two points. I’ve never had a knack for the active life. I’ve always taken wrong steps that no one else takes; I’ve always had to make an effort to do what comes naturally to other people. I’ve always wanted to achieve what others have achieved almost without wanting it. Between me and life there were always sheets of frosted glass that I couldn’t tell were there by sight or by touch; I didn’t live that life or that dimension. I was the daydream of what I wanted to be, and my dreaming began in my will: my goals were always the first fiction of what I never was.”
