They're talking about the meltdown he had on stream [1] (in front of the mentioned pirate flag), that ended with him saying he'd stop using AMD hardware [2]. He recanted this two weeks after talking with AMD [3].

Maybe he'll succeed, but this definitely doesn't scream stability to me. I'd be wary of investing money into his ventures (but then I'm not a VC, so what do I know).

I've written three novels (unplublished) in text editors, including Vim but never Nano, and on all sorts of devices from PalmPilots to phones to tablets, laptops and desktops running all major operating systems. I'm doing editing of one novel in Obsidian right now. I try to stay away from word processors until the very latest stage, because everyone I know who would critique or edit only use Word. For linear fiction, which uses only parts, chapters and scenes, Markdown works just fine and Pandoc works really well for converting to other formats.
I stopped after the first paragraph (don’t have the headspace to really unload my thoughts here) but,

This could be a great idea. Local metrics in the know, then shared naturally between people. Sounds almost like how things got done before the internet. Imagine that!

I look forward to reading the rest of this and hopefully agreeing with at least some of it ;)

It can be a bad look when you start collecting too much information, makes it seem like something is wrong. But I also 100% see the issue. Having watched a few scenes die, it can be really sad.

Programming languages are especially tough, because they are so near to permanent it’s tempting to actually need to hold on to them.
Just curious, what price do Nvidia charge enterprises? For $40k, it just doesn't make sense to buying it compared to renting from lambda labs or some other place for $2/hour(or $17k/year).
Having friends and neighbours that will lie for you (or be unaware of your gravest moments of joint smoking) seems like a good level of trustworthiness.
that looks interesting, thanks! Did you try it if it delivers on promises? There was not any new commit since 2020 so not sure if the project is stale by now.
> "who was the president when JFK was born?", the answer is clearly not JFK

Yes, you can deduce that, since the question is nonsensical (trivial) if "the president" refers to JFK in that context.

> If you flip it to "was JFK strong at writing essays when the president was a high school freshman"

This is a perfect illustration of why the original sentence can be read as referring to JFK, since in speech it is common to have ill-defined references that are later clarified, and there's no formal rule that enforces that all terms must be defined before use.
Laws have changed a lot since the AEC existed.
It is still a conflict of interest. In most non-corrupt countries, the politician would have to disclose and recuse themselves of any decision impacting the interested party.
Personally I find running to be too high impact to do every day, so I mix my cardio up a bit with lower impact activities.
Frankly, I got over the curve by forcing myself to write a lot of it. I learned about the language back when I was a freshman in undergrad, and I intentionally just did everything in it. Not just my math and computer science work (but absolutely those), but also I tried to bend the language to do my other course work (e.g. there's a lot of ways to typeset beautiful linguistics diagrams and latin translations).

I learned a lot when bending it. And then I again learned a lot when I began to have collaborators whose LaTeX I could look at. And one more time when I began to put together LaTeX for publishing.

It was painful for about a week, uncomfortable for about a month, fine for about a year, great for the next five, and as fluid as speaking afterward. I'd call that the typical low-level tool learning trajectory.
lol or a temperature chamber that the vast majority of labs have? heck I made a toaster oven that will go anywhere from 100F to 400F with an arduino and a $3 toaster oven from the junk store.
Any 3D shape/distribution can be expressed as some infinite mixture of Cartesian x-y-z (plane) waves, but if your object is closer to being radially symmetric then it might be more appropriate to express it as a mixture of azimuth-declination & radius waves instead. Technically you can choose any esoteric shape to split of your three degrees-of-freedom and your description will be mathematically identical as long as your DoF basis don’t have redundant parts, but usually we tend to use either Cartesian or spherical descriptions, and the frequency-domain (reciprocal space) description of those choice of symmetry corresponds to [xyz plane waves] or [spherical harmonics (angular part) + Spherical Hankel functions (radius part)]
So what if you cant either. You as a human at least possess the self-direction and innate will to direct your own actions and thoughts in some direction. Does AI? No it doesn't. It literally does nothing unless directed by human-set parameters into doing so. For now, regardless of technical abilities, this makes AI far from anything that can easily be defined as sentient.
Ask HN: Need a DevOps Revolution, how to enforce code quality?
I’m in the midst of my firm’s DevOps Revolution in the year of our Lord 2023 (I know). While this is exciting, it is also quite fraught. Unlike The Phoenix Project, where the revolution was wrapped up in a tidy 42 days (or whatever), real life is a little messier. The big question I have here, is with a mix of SWE SREs and SysAdmin SREs, how can we enforce high quality code and high quality code reviews? Can or cannots? Linting? Where do we start? And how do we keep it going?
Then, put warning labels and ban it.

If you want people not to accept it so we don't pollute our environment, just prevent the pollution directly. Also, I may not buy things with PFAS but there are millions of situation where PFAS could jeopardize my health (e.g food containers at restaurants, schools, hospitals… neighboring factory producing PFAS, etc).
To be frank, the available evidence at the moment is pretty shaky. Derek Lowe here is pretty optimistic, but most of the comments I've seen from the superconductor folks are pretty pessimistic [1]--and given that Derek Lowe isn't in the field, I'm inclined to favor their views over his at this point.

The original articles are a pair of papers posted to arxiv in a field which I believe isn't well-known for arxiv publications, and most science journalism tends to wait for a peer-reviewed paper to come out in a notable journal before reporting on it. Although it has been reported by some specialized outlets already (a category which I'd include Derek Lowe's In The Pipeline).

[1] See, e.g., https://nitter.net/i/status/1686373516286005248, which goes into why even the recent theoretical-confirmation papers are unpersuasive to them.
Our of pure boredom, I can confirm records show this.
From what I can tell, this kind of gaslighting mistreatment has become common in this market. The delivery app race to the bottom has nearly brought us to that final destination.

We've used the "Caviar" delivery app since moving to SF, since the deliveries are always direct so the food shows up fresh and hot. Caviar was bought by DoorDash a while ago, and DoorDash heavily promotes the "direct delivery" feature, specifically upcharges all Caviar orders for the direct delivery, and will even notify you that fee is being increased because a restaurant is more than 15ish minutes away.

At some point in the last few months DoorDash simply stopped upholding that claim despite billing for it. If they are sufficiently busy, your order will be merged with a regular DoorDash order and go to one or more other addresses. It's a remarkably brash example of corporate gaslighting to see a delivery screen proudly advertising that "your order is going directly to you" literally directly underneath text that says "your dasher is completing another order nearby first."[0]

Each time this happens I open a chat with support and they explain ah yes, direct delivery is guaranteed on caviar, but sometimes your delivery will be batched instead. Then they give me a credit. For some funny reason DoorDash does not automate the process of refunding the fee specifically advertised for direct delivery when they opt to just not deliver directly anyway.

That's not even "weird" behavior, it's just blatantly false advertising. How come they can get away with this?

It's been long enough for the patents to expire, so why not help a competitor commercialize the technology? Do you have a reference to the patent number?
If y'all are looking for another iOS port, try a llama 7B or 13B storytelling model running on llama.cpp/koboldcpp or the mlc-llm backend.

7B in particular should be fast and usable on most iOS devices. 13B should work on 8GB of RAM. Both are quite coherent and "smart."

Theres a tragic gap between these optimized implementations and mobile apps, for some reason.
Maybe Venture Capital should spend less money on Juciero, automated pizza ovens, and gig-economy bs and more money on materials science and fusion research.

They act as sex hormone disruptors. Probably the number one cause of plummeting fertility across the entire world. Korea is projected to have a 95% reduction in population within three generations.
The article’s opening paragraph makes it sound like Sunak’s father in law was acting on non-public information to get a piece of the new oil and gas leases that were being offered:

> A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

That angle doesn’t make sense if you realize that the firm is an IT company, not a company that is involved in oil and gas extraction.
The industry eats the cost, not the FDIC, which funds it through industry taxes.

If your gamble fails, not only do you lose everything related to your endeavor, but now banking as a whole is more expensive, more people centralize into the big banks, and whatever business you want to start up or run afterwards is going to be more expensive.

This is why most banks don't gamble, because gambling like SVB did is really fucking stupid. You can be a boring bank and most likely mint profit for yourself for eternity, while also being seen as a positive actor in your city! The only people who aren't satisfied with such a set up are the same "Gotta grift everyone" silicon valley style assholes who think an economy is an idle game and they have to have the highest number because they are smartest and bestest.

While you're correct about the scarce and sketchy evidence currently it is in the process of narrowing down. Or to put it better the evidence is mounting that it might be a breakthrough. It likely hard to manufacture correctly, but simulations done at Berkeley Labs seem to support the claims of the original paper
https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.16892
And aside from that to be honest I hope that we have time to prove or disprove those claims, before any major news outlet jumps onto the hype train and ruins it.

Just wondering, have you told your friends that you notice this about them? If so what was their reaction like?
You could be hitting on something here. Instead of pouring monolithic you could use prefab blocks that are filled in. I have used that technique to repair a caved basement where cinder block replacements were filled with concrete and rebar.

There is a similar system using foam blocks that act as forms and are left in place. Menards sells them (and may own the manufacturer).
It's somewhat hard to believe that this (forming lumps and adding membranes) does not affect the material properties as building material, especially, where various flavors of concrete are all about the grade of the cement. (Concrete isn't just concrete.) How is this, as a capacitor, immune to pressure? How do you jump from a 12V car battery to entire buildings and roads?
Ah, well not the first time I've made a fool of myself jumping to the wrong conclusion. I'll change the comment.
It seems difficult to measure this, as it's wildly varying in addictiveness depending on the wildly varying affects each human gets from the substances.
We used to wrap products in paper or cloth. We could go back to that.
It very much is, and the point is, it _used_ to be more like java. Araq basically pulled off a very daring switchover from reference based language system to a value based one.

So now the language can credibly claim the same as c++ - no room left closer to the metal. But it's packaged in a much nicer syntax (imho), and has features like macros which we can expect I'm C++ in maybe 10 years, if we're lucky.
The issue is not limited to archives, artifacts, and packaging. Game projects, for example, have large directories with many binary assets which need to be change-controlled. Artifact repositories address distribution, in a way, but don't generally support change control much if at all.

(And yeah, git's historically a poor choice for this – so you may see companies sticking with Perforce or other non-distributed solutions.)
This is still problematic though because revenue from these new licenses will effectively flow to the PM through this _new_, significantly larger, contract. This is why divestment is important for politicians.

The force of tradition is amazing. Imagine centuries knowing how to make something that explodes violently, and using it for entertainment instead of weapons.

Just like how Mesoamerican civilizations invented the wheel, but only used it on children toys and not for transportation. There were no draft animals in the region, but they didn't even make wheelbarrows.

Opvia (YC S20) | Junior/Mid software developers| London (UK based)| opvia.io

Opvia wants to be the software layer for regulated manufacturing companies. Regulated industries (Pharma, biotech, F&B) need better software to go to market faster, get insights from their data, and comply with the regulations. Opvia makes it easier to build exactly the procedures and workflows companies need with its no-code platform.

VC doesn’t put money into research, VC puts money to productization once someone else (ideally for the VCs, government) has paid for research.

That makes no sense. If there are complications and the delivery is delayed, then they get 5 stars for getting it to you? How do you know what complications or difficulties they ran into? All you're gonna see is delayed package, and by your scale that's less than 3 stars.
I've never had to log in to send a Firefox or Thunderbird crash report to Mozilla. A look at what they're doing might be fruitful.
I wonder if splitting the telemetry upload into a separate command could make sense. So rustc could panic and say “Run 'rustup report' to report this issue”, and the user could send the report at their option. (Or ‘rustup report 12345' where 12345 identifies this panic.)

This would be the ultimate opt-in - the user has to specifically request each report.
In practice, regulators are mostly not enforcing this.
To combat climate change we have to lower our use of oil and natural gas but it is preferable that we control our own supply during the transition period instead of being dependent on geopolitical adversaries like Russia and "frenemies" like Saudi Arabia.

Also it's probably a reach to claim that an Indian IT outsourcing bodyshop made the UK drill for oil and natural gas in the North Sea.

Maybe something to do with the dealers dramatically inflating prices beyond list? Or maybe the mfg going along with it, increasing base prices so they get a bigger cut of the inflated pricing?

I mean, electrics are more expensive to produce, but I really don't buy that they aren't overpriced.
> having it opt-in by default or giving users no control over it.

I think you want "opt-out"?

> For opensource tools we should use another word like "Automated User Feedback", or something else without the baggage.

No, because some projects will immediately re-poison the well by using "Automated User Feedback" as a transparent euphemism for the same bad practices (and in fact, if I read that I would immediately assume it was nothing but a euphemism meant to mislead me). Might as well just say "opt-in telemetry" or maybe "opt-in telemetry with extra steps to make it less identifiable" if that's what we mean.
The only mandatory fields in that form are the rustc version (that's printed as part of the error) and the backtrace. The file being generated includes both of those things.

> Asking to clarify; I think you might be suggesting to reduce to the form just being "got a ICE? paste your error here and hit submit" which would be good

I would do that once the new ICE storage mechanism is exercised enough for everyone to be confident in its behavior and enabled in the stable channel.
California didn't just decriminalize use, they decriminalized sales and open air drug markets. The two are technically different policy outcomes. The state was just exceptionally lazy in it's implementation, which was somewhat driven by the early response to COVID.

There are two kinds of shelters: open-admission, and no-kill. There is no third kind. We will never be a no-kill nation without addressing the root causes: lack of availability of subsidized spay/neuter programs, and the profitability of animal breeding.

I think it's great to try to connect people with animals they want to take care of. It's not going to make overcrowded shelters any less crowded. There is certainly some unused shelter capacity that your organization can fill up, that is true. However, that capacity is not infinite, and once you have reached it you'll have all the same problems.

There is only one solution: subsidized spay/neuter programs and a crackdown on any animal-breeding operation. Otherwise, you're just giving a blood transfusion to a patient with a gushing wound.
