I gather average productivity growth in most developed countries has been around 2 or 2.5% for the past 60 or so years, working out to at best 3.5 times what it was in the 50s or 60s.
Which still makes it reasonable to ask why it's not feasible today for a single income to be sufficient to support a mortgage on a typical family home in the way it was in those times. What I'd like to know is in what cities around the world has housing not become so unaffordable in that period...
But he didn't specifically tell me to stop!

There's no stopping this technology, but we can do without all of fake "for the good of humanity" stuff. If you want free pictures in someone's style without paying an artist for them, just be honest.

The disagree part is the complexity for compliance is under stated. Implementation is way more complicated than what the author has described even at the end there is a good sentence one there is a long way to go. IMHO, it is too ideal, still.

Some problems is not solvable, at all. After a year taking note and consolidate notes of the public hearings, there are items that's leaving there forever. No progress. No solution. Not possible by design. And it is not something like, you can migrate from MySQL to CRDB. How to do that to a historical city?

Anyway, hope this make it more clear :-)
i always fail to understand what kind of services there are that aren’t at least RPC-ish

thin CRUD wrappers obviously but usually when you are piping data from one source/format to another, you typically want to do something that is ever so slightly “not-CRUD” (call another API/service, etc.)

Ask HN: Is there a place in the market for SaaS/startups that don't rely on AI?
Hello community! I have a question, and I would like to know your opinion. I have had a problem for years that affects me, and I have spoken with other people in the community I'm a part of, and they all agree that a solution would be useful. It's not a serious issue, just something related to our hobby, so people wouldn't be willing to pay too much for it. However, since it involves money, a small investment would be very helpful.

Now, the solution I designed (and it would work) is a "simple" SaaS. It doesn't have AI, cloud, or any of the buzzwords that are needed nowadays for marketing. It consists of some cron jobs, a dashboard, and a notification system.

My question is: Is there a place in the market for SaaS/startups that don't rely on any of these new technologies? I feel that all the ads on TechCrunch or Product Hunt are for products that leverage GPT, AI, etc., and not for products built with older technologies.

And yet, that's what a lot of the big AI startups are doing. Granted, it's not what everyday business are doing (yet). But TPUs offer pretty impressive perf/cost ratio, so I'd be surprised if it's actually "nobody".
He's not. He was never that close to the management of Tesla and SpaceX as he is to Twitter. Twitter is Elon naked.

In his other companies they see him as the public cheerleader who attracts capital and talent, but he's kept away from day to day decisions. At Twitter, he's making ALL the decisions. And it's glorious to behold.
The end goal is to minimize software TCO. In addition to being semantically less clear, repeated plumbing code tends to diverge over time, which makes it difficult to refactor and more bug prone if people assume behavior is homogenous.

The best way to handle cases that will be almost the same but may diverge over time is to create a functional mini DSL that describes the domain behavior, and create a template implementation that can be used if desired. Then everything is using a common language, and a non-template implementation indicates the presence of non-standard logic.
I still like REST. Most web applications are CRUD and don't need RPC. It also provides a standard and expected interface for 3rd party developers integrating with your code. If you're a small saas startup, nobody is going to waste their time learning the particularities of your protocol. Also makes the code very easy to read if you follow best practices for MVC style webapis with dependency injection. In my view, asp.net core is the apex of all RESTful frameworks
As should the contents.
I wonder if part of the incentive problem was that the companies with the most traffic would have already invested heavily in securing sufficient IPv4 address space for their usage. If so, the ones with the most ability to influence everyone to swap over would be the ones with the least need to do so, and then the smaller players who might need IPv6 most for future growth wouldn't have enough users yet to incentivize the infrastructure changes needed.

Good conditions didn't diminish. People now buy vastly bigger and more things. Want to live on one salary like a 1950 person, with 1950 level goods, you can.

Also more classes of people now have much better things: women, minorities.

Labor is not the only input to productivity, so there is zero reason labor rewards should match productivity. As capital expenses increased to obtain modern productivity gains, the reward should go towards capital, which enabled purchase of upgrading tooling. Also as people demanded more rights and benefits, some is taken from wages. When you track total cost to employ, which is what an employer pays to have an employee, you can see all the gains. BLS tracks this and many other related variables (like wages, total remuneration, and a host of other costs and benefits employees have gained over the decades.)

And corporate margins are pretty much the same as ever, net profit ~10% of revenue, since time immemorial. That 10% is what provides cushion so businesses don't implode every hiccup, leaving lots unemployed. [1] has some 1950-now data. There's plenty more places to find more. Fairly constant profit is why stock returns have averaged what they did over 100+ years. If now had vastly more profitable companies, it would have vastly increased returns.

I did not care for Crime and Punishment. It takes forever getting in; you spend like six and a half hours... You know, I can't get through, I've never even finished the book.

The thing I hate about most "great" fiction is it's rarely made better by the theatrics of it. I'd much rather read the author's anecdotal opinion instead of an overdrawn lie that's subtextually getting to that same point, except taking more time and little entertainment along the way.
Also for this example, it is not unusual, especially for RISC ISAs, to have to or for it to be optimal to count down rather than how we’re taught in CS/EE/CE to count up in loops. RISC machines can often do several interesting things with zero’d registers or flags or conditions.
Artists using AI maybe could have. “AI artists” are largely a bunch of obnoxious trolls with a shallow understanding of art history, technique, etc, such that this seems unlikely. Almost all AI art I see is within a narrow range of stylized realism or anime/manga-derived work.
Does not matter if you can’t move that much power to container terminals. You presumably don’t want to put a nuclear plant in every port. Even if you consider the battery problem to be solved at scale, you just don’t quite appreciate the enormous energy consumption of these ships. Charging them with existing infra used for refrigerated container is a fiction, plain and simple. You’re off by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude.
Except that isn't their only choices. It'll depend on their finances as well as the market futures. Many many buildings sit empty for ages for a whole bunch of different reasons. Can't just generalize into a binary like that.

I love programming and I'm more than happy to work with juniors and solve junior tasks. I feel like this industry puts so much pressure on people to be an engineer or an architect or something more than a person who writes a little script to fix something and moves on. Everything built today seems to have to be architected and scalable and I hate it.

I do use ChatGPT, and while it helped me with things like obscure issues with bash syntax, it hallucinated some CLI tools options often enough that I never trust it with anything important. (And I tried to ask it even fairly easy questions.)

While it works pretty well when I forget some CLI tool option, in cases when some tool does not have an option doing what I want, ChatGPT is worse than useless - instead of telling me that it doesn't know an option doing something exists, it just tries to "think something up".

In the world when the right answer is "no, there is no option doing what you want" even a small amount of time, ChatGPT is actively harmful.
It’s fascinating to consider how much of food isn’t part of our diet simply because it doesn’t lend itself to large scale monoculture or has a higher production cost than alternatives.

After all, weeds are only unwanted plants, and ultimately, crops are simply wanted weeds, as they discuss.

The larger point is to bring an agricultural system that is sustainable in the long term (very long term), through the inevitable climate shifts that we know occur reliably and whatever the impact of human "enhancements" turn out to be — and which is looking pretty dramatic these days.

Coming back into balance with nature is critical, and learning to view ourselves not as separate from the earth but part of the big life support system ultimately leads towards a positively focused, sustainable future.

The authors point about this is really worth considering:

> Consequently, most breeders are only evaluating a small percentage of the available germplasm for things like disease resistance or cooking characteristics—not for environmental resilience.

I wonder whether LLMs will assist in this work? It won’t be a commercial opportunity for some time, but it’s critical that we start getting good at cataloging what we have and could create to make the balance work in a pragmatic way.

Maybe I'm cynical, but in my experience, performance reviews have very little to do with managing employee performance. They are a bureacratic ritual that lets the company demonstrate they have been managing your performance.

This is useful to the company if they want to let people go, to mitigate any legal risks. They have a record that your performance was being managed. Even though 9 times out of 10 there was no actual management throughout the year.
Regarding conditioning/drying the air instead of cooling it: the first modern air conditioners were invented primarily to dry the air, cooling was a side effect. The term "air conditioner" itself originally referred to moisture content as I understand it.
I don't mean to say that a low income person absolutely can't have good credit, but that it's likely to be correlated due to how the system works.

For example, a creditor will ask your income before extending credit to you. The more unused credit you have available to you, all else being equal, the better your credit score. So that's at least one reason to expect that they are correlated.

Dubstep seemed to have existed exclusively for people born in the same year as Skrillex and thus had a very short mainstream career.

- Li-ion batteries on fire cannot be put out with water and need special stuff... "often not to hand" on ships like this. Ships carrying hundreds of EVs

- IATA of the sea plans to get around to add new safety measures "next year"

Seems like they were basically crossing fingers until now? I guess ships go down slowly and people usually don't die, and I guess they don't care that much about dumping 2000 tons of fuel oil into oceans on occasion. Cheaper than firefighting measures...
What a strange article. I want to believe the author has good intentions but I can't help but feel they're virtue signalling. If one really wanted to understand what disabled people are dealing with, you should volunteer some time at a care home, not pretend to have a disability without understanding what that disability entails or being aware of existing coping strategies and tools for said disabilities.

Most persons with disabilities the author pretended to have would have been able to navigate the situations the author encountered. So what insights have we gained from the authors experience?

It’s pretty much irrelevant. You can stack containers vertically easily, and height difference doesn’t matter that much (8’6 vs 9’6 are the two common sizes). Below deck you have a hard cap because of hatch covers, but above deck you’re only really capped by sight lines. Lengths are 20ft and 40ft, so differ much more, and so having TEU or FEU as measurement is much more useful.
Just a heads up, your landing page on your website doesn't seem to mention Llama/the offline usecase at all, only online via OpenAI.

----

What model size/particular fine-tuning are you using, and how have you observed it to perform for the usecase? I've only started playing with Llama 2 at 7B and 13B sizes, and I feel they're awfully RAM heavy for consumer machines, though I'm really excited by this possibility.

How is the search implemented? Is it just an embedding and vector DB, plus some additional metadata filtering (the date commands)?

There are novel artists using Stable Diffusion or Firefly as a photoshop-like-tool. Not txt2img, but stuff like inpainting, controlnet, contextual modification, LORAs trained on their own portfolio and such.

They are obscure for the same reason most artists are obscure.

But most "AI artists" you are talking about are would-be consumers looking for something specific, not creators looking to pull something novel out of their head.
No need to use sign language. Had the "can't speak" experience after a dentist visit. Took out a piece of paper and wrote down what I wanted to say and showed that instead. These days people would probably use their phone and type it out.
This seems like a cool project.

Problem is, they taught only citizen kids to be fighters (skipping over what did they actually teach). When 80%+ of your society is not-citizens, then this has little relation to what the society is actually focused on.
The macros in tgmath and more recently stdbit show why those could be necessary.

If you have a set of functions for addition with overflow detection, say add_overflow{i,l,ll}, and you have a pair of ptrdiff_t’s or int32_t’s or whatnot that you know are standard integer types, and you want to use the appropriate add_overflow* function, can you do it?

With _Generic you can. Without it I think you’re stuck providing separate functions for every integer typedef in the standard library and then requiring all library authors to do the same for both integer typedefs and integer-accepting functions that they define.

(_Generic is not part of the macro level, that’s why the semantic-checking issues discussed in the article even arise. The C preprocessor can still be implemented as a separate binary that doesn’t understand C itself, even in C23.)
Why is there even the concept of a "nonprofit", with tax deductible donations? This has never made any sense to me.

But most stuff out there isn't moonshot project work. It's boring ass maintenance and minor function changes. What I don't want is when someone is asked to change a web form to find a whole fucking ReactJS stack pulled in because someone is bored or it looks good on their résumé. This does happen.
