Worse than useless from a quorum perspective, because you've increased the number of servers that have to participate in quorum (quickly) without increasing the number that don't. Looking at it the other way, you go from having problems when 2/3 are slow/broken to having problems when 2/4 are slow/broken. (also note slow doesn't even mean the machine is having problems; in geographically distributed setups it may just be due to physical distance from the leader.)

Yes, 4 servers might handle more load than 3 servers [1], but so would 5 servers. I'd guess that if you've got enough message queue traffic that 3 servers can't handle the load, those servers aren't a significant fraction of your total cost. You might as well go to 5. Likewise, if 5 aren't enough, I'd skip over 6 and go to 7. If 7 aren't enough...I'd probably rethink my design entirely...but I'd prefer 9 to 8.

Alternatively, quorum systems can support "zero-weight replicas" which effectively don't vote but still can be useful for eventually consistent reads. Then you have this server that helps handle the load but doesn't increase the number of servers that have to participate in a round.

[1] if the load is overwhelmingly eventually consistent read operations and their multi-hop topology with proxies doesn't sufficiently reduce the load on the replicas. It's not obvious to me if this scenario is plausible or not.
Then I guarantee your search engine will mostly contain spam, low-effort reposts, content farms, egregiously bad SEOs, and other useless stuff.

There's a reason why mainstream search engines like DuckDuckGo perform this kind of blacklisting. Because 99.99% of the time this blacklisting only renders invisible what is worthless anyways. But that 0.01% of the time when it incorrectly blacklists a site HN is outraged.

I haven't seen any recent papers that show that fine-tuning is obsolete - I've only seen papers showing the opposite. I'd be very interested to see any papers that have demonstrated applications where fine-tuning is not effective nowadays, if you have any links.

Here's an example of a paper that shows good results from fine-tuning for instance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.02301
Wow that is a crazy next level user acquisition story. Acquisition using source code as marketing, never heard that before. Great to read from a true self-made entrepreneur.

I can relate to the feeling of everything working against you and having to do some insanely contrived stuff to get around all the hurdles though I never faced such constraints as the author.

Entrepreneurship in the tech sector these days feels like a full circus show; you need to clown around a bit in front of investors to raise funding, when that fails, you need to ride a unicycle over crocodile infested waters, then jump through some flaming hoops, then tame a few hungry lions... Then after all this, one of the lions goes nuts and you get devoured anyway.
As others have pointed out, that phrase means something else.

For sure it is (for the reasons I described above). As for pleasure: I don't know, maybe you are the one who hates its smell, and taste, and just takes it as a medecine. It's not impossible, but it would make you an outlier.

As a result, we expect favorable impact to operating income of approximately $26 million in the first quarter and $133 million in fiscal 2024 from a reduction in depreciation expense based on equipment balances as of January 29, 2023. The favorable impact will be primarily in operating expense, and to a lesser extent in cost of goods sold.

> Fine tuning is better for complex tasks where the model’s generated output must be accurate and trusted.

uhhh. I understand what was intended there but while fine tuning may reduce the rate of hallucinations and make hallucinations more plausible, it's not magic accurate and trust-worthy dust.

Unfortunately many people think this stuff is magic and care should be taken to not encourage people to confuse improvements with resolving the issue.

One way of characterizing the LLM accuracy problem is that it often looks very accurate and convincing even when it is emitting nonsense. If you cast the problem in those terms-- as a problem of looking more trustworthy than it actually is-- fine tuning actually exacerbates the problem.

Why doesn't my Next.js app deployed to Vercel show up on Google?
Hello brothers,

Because my previous article about sitemaps and SEO blew up (for me, 83 views ), I wanted to provide you with more on that topic. I really put my all into making this blog clear, concise, practical, and easy to implement in your project. In the past, I was naive and thought I had poor site authority, which was why my website wasn't showing up on Google. However, the real issue was that I hadn't even verified my website in Google Search Console. So, for those of you who didn't know, it's not enough to just deploy your app to Vercel, you also need to inform Google of its existence, verify the domain, and get the pages crawled.

If I'm providing you with value through these blog posts, please subscribe to my newsletter, and don't miss out on any new ones!

In this situation, I prefer to just present the facts/choice to the other person, much as you have above, and let them decide for themselves:

So, I know you are new to git, and I am happy to help you! Just so you know, I am a bit of a command line kind of guy (because <reasons - it can be scripted, it works out of the box on all of my machines, whatever>).

If you'd like to be able to copy exactly what I do and have me help you with any problem that you encounter, you may find it easiest to use exactly the tool/version/environment that I use. However, if you're comfortable doing a bit of research and troubleshooting yourself, feel free to use a different tool that works better for you, and I'll still do my best to help you, but it's possible you'll run into tool-specific issues that I have never encountered and won't be the best person to help with. You could even try both at once, or try one approach and change your mind later on, we'll work it out as we go!
It’s just straight up wrong to suggest that liqueur doesn’t change in glass and I don’t think anyone in the industry would say otherwise. They are really talking about imparting the aging vessel on the spirit when they say aging. And glass doesn’t impart anything.

Whiskey breaks down over time even if store really well. Sometimes that results in a good outcome, sometimes not. It also could be you just like the recipes from back then.

Chartreuse is famous for “aging” in glass. My hypothesis is it’s just such a wild flavor profile muting it (which is what most often happens as spirits breakdown) makes for a more complex taste.

Use a CR2032 battery or be prepared for a life of misery. :)

To a first, second, and third approximation: CR2032 is the largest coin cell that exists. Anything else has terribly weird quirks and may not actually be better than a CR2032.

Basically, there are only three battery choices:

1) Alkaline

2) CR2032

3) Full blown LiPol rechargeable

By your definition, draining down your savings because your expenses far exceed your earnings is 'status quo'. A drug addict upping the dose they take every week, to maintain the same rush, until their heart finally gives out is 'status quo'. Continuing to push on the accelerator, as your car is on its way off a cliff is 'status quo'.

You're also presenting a laughably false dichotomy for an alternative. I have an incredibly hard time imagining that you honestly believe that to be the only alternative for our current trajectory.

The thing is that when I write 2023, I am not asserting that this is a four digit year. It's an integer whose decimal representation requires four digits.

Similarly when I say "the Kingdom of England became a single state in the year 927", I am not asserting that I'm using three digit years. However, if I said that this event happened in 0927, then it does look like I'm doing four digit years.

It's the leading zeros that are associated with problematic ways of writing years. Two digit years have the leading zero for the first 9 years of the century (and the last year of the previous), like 00 for 2000 and 03 for 2003.

Without the leading zero, 3 refers to Year 3 of our Common Era. The leading zero in 03 turns it into a partial, context-sensitive year understood as 2003.

The 0 in 02023 does the same thing; it perpetrates some Y-something problem, in this case Y100K. In the year 102023, if people are around, some of them might use 02023 to mean 102023. When they mean the 2023 A.D. they will use 2023, and when they mean 12023, 22023, 32023, ... they will use exactly those forms.

The silly zero people ain't thunk this through real well.
Let's go over these one by one:

> Scanning the QR code to install the esim requires internet - it can't activate the sim card to get internet unless it already has internet. Seems like a bit of an oversight!

Not an oversight at all. The key exchange has to happen online, as key material is generated on-device, not delivered in the QR code.

> Once provisioned, the mobile network doesn't actually activate your account for a few hours. Kinda takes away the benefit of 'one click and go'.

That is absolutely your operator's issue; I've been up and running in 60 seconds.

> The phone is hardcoded to only support 4G via esim, although the phone itself supports 5G if you use a physical sim on the same mobile network. Nobody on the forums has managed to make it work.

Which phone is this? I get 5G via eSIM on my Pixel 5, and it works fine on all 5G-capable iPhones too.

> If you damage the phone, there is no way to transfer the esim to a new phone. I assumed it would transfer over automatically as part of backup/restore, either via cable or cloud backup, but no.

Nope; the secret key never leaves the phone. Contact your operator and they send you a new QR, which for me took five minutes and I had the QR in my email inbox.

> The mobile network has no ability to transfer the sim over either. Apparently their software doesn't allow it.

See above.

> The only way is to transfer to a physical sim, wait for it to arrive, then mark the physical sim as lost, and then reorder an esim. Great - that takes 4 days, during which you have no service.

Sounds like you should pick an operator that doesn't suck quite as much.

Yes please! I love this. The abstraction required for more generic ETL solutions makes them a real pain for my two use-cases: Postgres-to-Postgres (online instance to analytics instance) and Postgres-to-Bigquery (online WAL change data to Biqquery).

Then they would not out their identity by claiming to have worked with the author. That piece of information alone whittles their identity down to maybe 100 people. Out of 100 adjacent academics how many post on HN, with this style, and this specific level of knowledge in that specific subfield? They may as well have just made the account their irl name. Anonymity is not a realistic goal. Assuming a realistic poster means it's reasonable to suspect their earnestness.
To the extent that your statement is true about crypto, this is also true about stocks or any other investment.

Just look at this link on Quora asking about 'When someone makes money in the stock market, must someone else be losing money?'[1]. Almost every single answer there disagreeing with that question about stocks you could swap stocks for crypto and it'd apply equally.

Also anything a business creates also has a real world cost as well. If not with your cash (but it often is, with subsidies, tax breaks, loopholes, or other things), then with the business' impact on the environment, their effects on laws that affect you (i.e. Disney extending copyright law), or just consuming resources that you could have consumed for less if they weren't creating a higher demand for them. If everything was in homeostasis, then not a big deal, but we haven't been anywhere near that for a long time.

And yes, I'm aware bitcoin isn't great for the environment considering how much energy it currently consumes for mining. I don't like that either. That doesn't make it a scam or a grift though.

If you want to reduce input lag for exclusive fullscreen, turn off “fullscreen optimizations”. But that specific bug, introduced in build 1903, was fixed a few years ago. (But if you still somehow get it — you can just turn this off per-game instead of this wide hack!)

Modern DXGI flip presentation model doesn’t add input lag anymore and properly detects when the exclusive fullscreen app is the only one showing, and gives it direct render control. (E.g. you can frame tear again!)

I think some UIs will also just not work nowadays if you kill DWM, even more likely in Windows 11 since more UI got moved to WinUI.

physical border control between them and their Schengen neighbours. note, "physical" - it doesn't affect their rights to go to or work or live in other EU countries, just how annoying it is to physically cross the border into the Schengen zone.
Similar experience for me. One that I do a fair amount is searching for specs on various car makes & models. The zero click results are typically quite bad. To be fair, a lot of it just ends up being bad source data, but their primary source for automotive specifications is the same shitty site.
Never thought I'd agree with a Musk decision, but yeah dark is superior to light. It's literally the difference between shining a flashlight in your eyes and not shining a flashlight in your eyes. People who shine flashlights in their eyes are self-destructive idiots.
It does not look like reductio ad absurdum.

Reductio ad absurdum would be more like "Assume X. [...]. Then false. Therefore, X can't be true."

It looks like an instance of the slippery slope fallacy - kind of. ("4 days? What next? 0?" - more like "of course people are happier working less, so what?" though)

I see this now with people rediscovering that using Django/Rails/PHP for web development is possible in 2023. Not every application needs to be built like a SPA using the latest hyped JS framework with a GraphQL-based API, specially when the application is composed of mostly CRUD pages.
With regards to restic, Tarsnap preforms asymmetric encryption which lets you perform automated backups without needing to enter any passwords (or otherwise storing your encryption passwords in plain text).

With regards to duplicity, Tarsnap does full deduplication across all backups for any given "machine", while still letting you independently remove any snapshots you like. i.e. no special "full snapshot" that must always be kept around, and no need for multiple full snapshots that have no deduplication between them.
Another vote for "surprisingly". Although "frustratingly" is kind of fun because it's so weird...just too negative. If you want to keep a provocative adverb, maybe "oddly" or "weirdly" would be fun too...not normal, but not so negative.
