Maybe it doesn't sell all your data, but Signal's threat model is surveillance capitalism alone:

>The application uses a centralized computing architecture

>Registration for desktop use requires an iOS or Android device

>Signal uses mobile telephone numbers as an identifier for users.

>OWS had received a subpoena requiring them to provide information associated with two phone numbers for a federal grand jury investigation in the first half of 2016. Only one of the two phone numbers was registered on Signal, and because of how the service is designed, OWS was only able to provide "the time the user's account had been created and the last time it had connected to the service".

Which are big regressions compared to predecessors pgp and otr.
".... usable instantly through a web browser or an upcoming native client on Windows, Mac, and Linux."
Rest assured it is sarcastic. It is terrifying because you start sensing what power shift that is. And it is not theoretical in the slightest, my wife starts complaining about dynamic pricing in web shops where she used to find deals at seasons end.

Or what is wrong with meeting politicians what have always a very good brief in their hands telling them what words have maximum impact on the small group before them? It seems to work looking at the increasing number of spineless chameleons.
What evidence do you have for this? There seems to be a lot of romanticism for an imagined can do spirit, and either people died, as they did in this case, or people understood risks and took action to mitigate them.
This should be a required reading for everyone at OpenAI. If such simple programs can fool even intelligent people, I can't imagine what an infinitely more capable gpt4 will be able to achieve socially.

As Yuval Harari correctly points out, with the current mastery of language, AIs are starting to hack the OS on which humans operate: words and ideas.
So why should anyone use this, and what it is this exactly? It looks like some SharePoint light from what I could gather from the marketing fluff, but I'm having a bit hard time getting any actual information about the product, beside the fact that the most expensive plan costs $22/user/month, and comes with 500GB storage (which doesn't sound like an awful lot at the first sight)
There was a time when vehicles had dedicated gauges for vital info like operating temp, oil pressure, rpms, etc. so it's not like solutions don't already exist that don't involve a fucking tablet in the middle of the dash. Backup cameras I'll give you though.
A name doesn’t have to be an impediment. Remember when Cisco Systems owned the iPhone name?

Heh, idle power efficiency is out the window here.

These are desktop chips stuffed into 16" laptops. They are basically for plugged in use with a UPS in between outlets.

That being said, 3D cache on, say, Phoenix silicon would be really cool. The IGP desperately needs it, and the stacked cache might save power since the energy/bit is still lower than RAM.
> Instead of inserting it, I scanned a QR code.

Which you need an internet connection for. A SIM you do not.

> People are complaining so much that I guess maybe I've had just good luck with carriers?

Apple really put a lot of thought into making the process as seamless as possible if the carrier builds into their system. Credit where credit is due, but everywhere else is a fragmented mess (not unlike how bad the voLTE situation has been with inconsistent phone/carrier support).

Apple's physical to esim transfer process is great (as well as phone to phone transfer) if the carrier supports it, but now how do you go about moving esim to an android phone if you like swapping around? Good luck navigating carrier apps/site/phone/store/etc...
> Playing rhythm games, I can easily feel ~3ms of input lag.

Hrmmm. I’m not sure this sentence even makes sense. I’m not sure what the definition of 0ms input lag even is. And I say this as someone who has deeply profiled true end-to-end input/output systems. 0ms relative to what exactly?

If you spend 20 minutes getting used to something you could maybe tell the difference if 3ms of input lag was artificially injected. Maybe. But that’s an exceedingly small value and if I had a toggle switch that turned it on/off I’d bet against you being able to tell when it’s on.

It does depend on the context. In a game like Guitar Hero 3ms is going to be exceedingly difficult to distinguish imho.
He has painted the Cheesecake Factory a few times.

There are a few more options when generalizing beyond entrées, but still five of the items listed on that page are salads, with the other four being a side of beets, asparagus, artichoke, or edamame. Which, at double digit Calories, is only as much a reasonable meal for vegans as it is for carnists (that is to say not much of one).
I’ve eaten at Cheesecake Factory a couple of times but it always feels so heavy to me. I’d rather pay the higher prices at Din Tai Feng and get more manageable portions.
Ha, I was working on neutral voice compression, which consists of an encoder which creates what the kids are calling tokens these days, and a decoder which synthesizes speech from the tokens.

AudioLM puts a language model on top of the compression tokens, and thus can generate speech or other audio. There's piles of recent papers pushing that approach into music generation. Mulan is a name that comes to mind.

Or maybe your interested in audio separation to get at the isolated instruments? There's lots of great work on that, as well. Like MixIT, which is an unsupervised audio separation system.
directfs has nothing to do with DirectX.

I find it deeply ironic this needs to be said here.
BART it up!
Yea I don’t think it was trained on any hierarchy in particular, ChatGPT literally came up with this on the fly. There’s even more to it I didn’t include to keep the post small. Just really impressive to have a conversation with it that goes all sorts of places. I don’t know any philosophy professors so this is the next best thing.
You’ll like Pizza Hutt in china then, where it is a primarily sit down experience and I don’t think they even bother with offering take out.

Pizza Hutt sure beats most Korean Pizza joints, at least (their primary competition in Beijing).
Thanks for covering my typo. HN had me throttled from the site for posting a burst of too many comments quickly so I took a break.
That sounds like an issue with your system, alt-tab is instant for me even on the slow machine I’m on (16 GB RAM, Ryzen 5 PRO 3400GE).
You're linking a blog written by a scientific racist.

Substack tends to have bad luck there.
Might take a while. Tarsnap has never had an employee without a doctorate. She's a very bright girl but I'll be surprised if she gets her doctorate before 2040.
Do you use Whisper for the transcript (which version? base?) and GPT-3.5-turbo for the language model? Do you provide a self-hosted solution for the companies that don't want their meetings going "on the cloud"? I do not mean to be dismissive of all your work, I know too well the devil is in the details, but what are the key advantages of using your solution over having a Python dev (or GPT-4) write a similar tool using Langchain + whisper + llama2 for example? Again, please do not take this as a cheap shot, I might not be the target audience but if I were to use such a tool I would like everything to run locally because of privacy/corporate spying concerns. Thanks!

EDIT: Also it is unclear if you support other languages than English. Whisper does, so in theory you should. There are companies out there where English is not the work language.
I don't deny climate change or want to do nothing. In fact I currently spend most of my timing working on solutions. I do resent hollow words like "climate boiling" instead of actions or cogent plans for action.

Instead of making guesses at my views, you're welcome to engage with my argument. I'm open to being convinced either way.

Cisgender is recent, but it’s also primarily used to serve as the counter to transgender. To understand “cisgender”, it’s useful to study the history of “transgender”. Transgender was introduced as a term because it encompassed a larger group of people and avoided the stigma surrounding “transsexual”. Transsexual has a history dating back about a hundred years. Since “trans-“ and “cis-“ are antonym prefixes, once you have transsexual, you have cissexual. For the purposes of Elon’s rule, it doesn’t matter whether it’s CISsexual or CISgender, he objects to “cis”.
It’s also now a Code Review platform (https://graphite.dev/) but your example was my first thought as well.
In natural English a lie is words that a person says that they know are incorrect that they know is putting incorrect words in another person mind.

No one says the military wearing camo is lying or a sports person feinting is lying.

No one says yelling is lying yet we know it changes the other persons mind and can be done for deceit. ASMR is not lying.

This all matters because part of IQ is understanding the mind of others and the ability to abstract.

There is a real question "then straighten blades of grass" what this is. You can evolve to do this without knowing why on multiple levels. Do they know it helps secure food or is it instinct? Do they know it effects another animals minds or just know the food is more likely to be there when they come back? Even at the highest level I would not call it lying.

I question do my goats have names or have they all just learned a different word for come here? It's takes involved testing to try and understand what is happening.
Oh yeah, never thought that - was just frustrated at the lack of success in my marketing efforts.

Thanks for the feedback, good points!
Why would they want to do that. The cancelation has been widely celebrated locally as it was an absolutely massive waste of money.
Actually, the whole away / notification thing is a dumpster fire. I sometimes use two PCs, a Windows one with Teams and all that crapware, and a Linux one where I get my work done. So the Windows pc will often be in screensaver mode. It will still go "bling" from time to time when I get a Teams message. Teams is set to use Windows notifications instead of its own, but it ignores the Windows setting to disable sounds. It will also show its specific notification when I'm invited to join a call.

I've also not found an option to only enable the sound for people calling while disabling it for random chat messages.

As to the away thing, I've noticed that it will set itself to away if the pc session is locked. Not sure if it's the locking itself that triggers it, or just a timeout. But when I get back on the PC, it'll stay in away mode as long as I don't interact with the Teams app.

Also, the whole indicator thing is an absolute joke. I've been multiple times on calls with people who appeared as offline for the entire duration of the call.
As an Objective-C developer Ruby sounds very familiar.
It knows where it is. It can’t very well know which direction you want to go if you don’t tell it, can it.
Yeah DDG has always been weirdly evasive about how their search engine works and where results are coming from. If it makes you feel any better, bing has been caught copying results from Google (https://www.wired.com/2011/02/bing-copies-google/) so there's a chance you'll get bing results plus results from whatever other search engine bing copies.

Personally, I don't even mind if using DDG is the same thing as searching bing so long as it actually works, but they still can't get a simple search like "office -microsoft" or "headphones -best" right. I even thought they acknowledged the problem and were looking into it at one point.
Which is great in theory, until you realize that there are 200 pages of convention, and there is just enough room for interpretation that different companies have slightly different takes on it.
With modern gpu pipeline and cost of cache misses compared to CPU cycle being what they are - it's almost certainly faster to redraw a few thousand sprites no matter what than to check what changed and redraw only a subset of them.

Energy efficiency is a separate matter.
Here's an analysis I did a few years back when evaluating whether to install an air-to-air pump:
https://observablehq.com/@robinl/retrofitting-air-source-hea...

I installed it at a cost of around £1,500, and it's been great. It probably is a relatively expensive method of carbon abatement, however.

At the time, I was comparing against an electric car, and I concluded it was a significantly cheaper way of reducing my carbon impact (we only drive around 10k miles a year)

For reference, it reduced my gas usage from around 10k KWh to 5k KWh, resulting in a reduction in emissions of around 500kg a year
Was I referring to temperatures? Is plateauing past tense?
I have not known many companies that have been that far forward thinking.
But... cows are vegan, aren't they?
It's all over the place in impoverished areas, often with a bunch of rocks or tires on top to weight it down. If you actually stay in such a structure though, it quickly becomes apparent how little it offers in the way of thermal or acoustic insulation. The sound in a heavy rainstorm can be deafening.

You can mitigate the issues with proper design, but at that point may as well use a real metal roof or a prebuilt.
Nice! Could also use 2 API calls to openAI.

A lot of chains can do better than Cheesecake Factory though. Back in Beijing there was a chain called Element Fresh that offered mostly western fusion, portion sizes were much smaller, the food was more tasteful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_Fresh (I guess Covid killed it, too bad).

Even Denny’s in Japan does Dennys better than the USA. It is possible to be a chain and not be horrendous with portion sizes, and better food.

Your comment made me smile - so true!

Or inevitably, someone would be running a DHCP server on their machine for their home network and plug into the (flat) LAN, and somewhere mid-party, suddenly half the machines would drop out as their leases expired and they renewed off the rogue.

I hosted a LAN party, and due to space limitations, we had people upstairs and downstairs on two sides of the house. We were using Coax for Ethernet, and used a T-Piece located in the stairwell and some long cables to branch the network in the three directions we needed it to run (upstairs, living room, dining room). How this ever even worked still remains a mystery to me, but I suspect poorly is probably the answer.

I blame troubleshooting of these issues as the reason I ultimately ended up with a career in networking.
OpenJDK seems pretty averse to including special case optimizations, otherwise I'm sure we would have intrinsics at least for ArrayList/HashMap containing boxed primitives. AFAIK they are still noticeably slower than plain arrays or manually inlined implementations.

For the most basic case you wouldn't even need JIT support - just keep a cache field of the last index accessed and where it ended and decode based on that.
Both engines are very good, but they've been diverging lately and web standards are introduced at a breakneck speed
Are there any public details on how Azure or GCP do archival storage?
Well those people just think the paradox of tolerance makes a sad but good point.
Not all jobs are productivity based, plenty are response based and you are really being paid to be available to do something within a time period if requested, regardless of whether you actually do get any requests to do something.
Two things: a) it's Din Tai Fung; and b) nobody who's aiming for The Cheesecake Factory across the street from the convention center is going to accidentally wind up at the Pacific Place (or, worse, UVillage) Din Tai Fung.

They are completely different menus and dining experiences. Though if The Cheesecake Factory ever adds soup dumplings to their menu, I bet they will be pretty good and cheaper.

Software Freedom and Trademarks: Examining Rust's New Policy
Anecdotally, when I get calendar events for random conference services, I'll get a join button in the event which sends me to that service. Ditto for Teams invites from my organization. But teams invites from other organizations don't have the join button, neither in Outlook nor in Teams itself. I have to open the event and click the link. If I do it in Teams, I'll have to click the expand button to see the link.

I don't have any conferencing app installed aside from Teams. I join the others in the browser.
How to find users who are using Slack?
I've had a similar experience, an issue I reported was corrected, but at the same time, they have major problems that have persisted for years but haven't been fixed (the "windows -microsoft" problem) which cause me to G! far more than I'd like.

Of course it’s slower. Your using https to do something that’s meant to be raw binary. The overhead is killing you. Something like iscsci, is pretty quick compared to https as a storage protocol.
Thank you for the sober and interesting comment. I would also be interested in a blogpost or similar extended writing about this experience.
It's called "platform risk". It can reduce risk to find customers or be the ultimate risk by killing your product (intentionally or unintentionally)
I would say this might be the case if the media and government weren't actively trying to distract people away from this particular topic - There are far more televised things the government are doing to cause distraction than this.

No doubt, doing a job badly is almost always a prerequisite for doing it better.

This was Virgin Money Business specifically, and it's a year since I left so it might have been fixed.
Corrugated cardboard uses less paper than what it would take with flat paper, and the box weighs less.

A wavy fiberglass roof uses less cloth and resin, and less reinforcement, than flat composite sheets would require.

A wavy roadside guard rail made of sheet metal uses less metal than a flat guardrail.

A snowshovel stamped/moulded with kinks in it can be thinner than a solid one.

Reach out to people you've worked with in the past. After having five years of experience, you should have worked with at least a handful of people who need someone to fix another broken website.

These could be managers, people on your team, people on OTHER teams, vendors, salespeople you've spoken to, anyone.

Ideally, you should ALWAYS keep in contact with people you've worked with, even if it's just emailing them "Happy Birthday!" every year for the rest of your life, but the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time to do it is now.

A warm referral is the best way to get a job. It's tough doing cold outreach. Good luck!!!
Are you mixing up jitter and lag? Even if you hit perfect 120fps synced to refresh, your input to display lag goes up to 8ms. And that's ignoring the input device itself, processing time, etc. which also stack up. 3ms is not really doable with typical modern hardware.
> exclusion/inclusion operators, verbatim search ignored, and on and on.

I've been assuming that this was just a bug with DDG and not a deliberate attempt to cripple their search engine. I've seen it with Google results too, but I could buy that Google would break them, since making websites harder to find encourages people to pay for prominently placed ads, but what would DDG's motivation be?
Our oceans are drowning in plastic, mostly from China where their booming delivery services generates tons of single use plastic. Sprinkling plastic into food just sounds like a terrible idea, but that's without me knowing the underlying science
AI is not enough, tagging people is more efficient. No matter what they believe, you can kill them with a drone if they have "unacceptable" behaviour.
In my observation from time spent on the new stream, HN is pro Apple and pro Tesla. Negative stories tend to get flagged and shut down quickly. Most of the answers here are focused on one specific example but I agree with your observation in general.

Sorry that your question has been flagged as well, what irony. This isn't the first time such an observation had been made and silenced.
Fireworks. There was another product from Macromedia that was not Flash, the Macromedia Fireworks. Never thought it would go into oblivion so fast, given I always felt it's of a far superior paradigm than any of the Adobe products in many use cases. After Adobe bought Macromedia, they killed it with all the other Macromedia products in favor of their own.

You don't need to be a python zealot to use the term, and abhor the practice of, monkey patching. In fact rubyists should hate it even more.

Indeed but by using Rust the project isn't painting itself into a corner. I seriously doubt the promised native versions will be simply shoved into Electron. Making it available on the web makes it easy to try which will help build the project.

Congrats! I’m curious where PeerDB positions itself relative to ReplicaDB? Also wrt sources, I’m curious whether CSV will ever be on the roadmap? Although it’s antiquated it’s ubiquitous, so I was surprised it’s not supported with launch. That said, I’ve encountered ridiculous challenges with data movement from CSV to Postgres and I’m curious if that alone was the blocker?
