I can’t be sure what the parent commenter’s question was, but for me the weird part was the “and start making money”.

Is there common knowledge or sentiment that if only you could get your hands on a console or pc, you can then “start making money”? If so, how? Especially with a console.

Is this something these youtubers are promoting or telling people how to so?

I completely understand that not everyone can afford a console, but the making money kinda confused me.
I searched for MoE in the comments and didn't see it. ah, you must mean this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37006549, which doesn't include "MoE", so that's why I didn't find it. Still, my comment's upvotes show it was helpful to some - maybe they searched for "MoE" too, instead of "mixture of experts".
> 16gb of vram

Having only 8GB of VRAM seems to be the biggest crippling factor for this A580. I was looking at A770s on eBay and on good day you can get them for quite a good price.

It's technically true that total area burned globally has been on a downward trend.

That's a real piece of misdirect by Murdoch press though and typical of their editorial stance.

To quote Multi-decadal trends and variability in burned area from the 5th
version of the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED5) [1] (one of many similar studies)

* Burned area declined by 1.21±0.66% yr-1 20 , a cumulative decrease of 24.2±13.2% over 20 years.

* The global reduction is primarily driven by decreases in fire within savannas, grasslands, and croplands.

* Forest, peat, and deforestation fires did not exhibit long-term trends.

So, managed areas are increasingly having fewer fires for a variety of reasons and they're a big part of the non ice areas across the globe.

Forest fires aren't decreasing, more worrying areas that typically don't see frequent fires are now seeing fires more often.

The Fox message is that beacuse total global fire area is reducing there's no need to worry about massive forest fires in places that typically don't see such things.

If ten thousand acres of seasonal grass fires doesn't happen does that really offset a thousand acres of old growth forest being torched to the ground?

Fantastic question. Our goal is to use LLMs to help create the loops, but to rely on code for the majority of (predictable) automation. LLMs make for useful blocks, and oftentimes you can fallback to GPT 3.5 for most structured tasks. With that said, this launch definitely hit some GPT-4 rate limits :)

Also, we hope that an open-source version will allow folks to do more with their own keys.
As a beginner w3schools.com is likely my first port of call for something that it covers. Easy to navigate and use, and covers a wide range of things. I'm aware of its history but it's never steered me wrong.

MDN I only use if I can't find the information elsewhere. I need ELI5, MDN is harder to understand when trying to grasp a subject, at least for me.

Nothing. But that's immaterial, given the issue is the content of the article not the content of the code.

But what do think /is/ the meaning of "debugging" here, if not the common-usage one seen in the dictionary?
As someone who uses a butter knife literally every day, I am offended by this comment.
Samsung Foundry exists, and Nvidia used them for the 30 series iirc. TSMC just doesn't have that much pricing power as a result. Their best processes are obviously good, but if they try to gouge too much customers probably just take the hit for a year. If they have to they can always sacrifice size/power for performance on an older, cheaper process.
Trakt.tv is a good alternative to IMDb btw
What value is good question.

But some value as long as computing power can be sold above running costs(power, cooling, etc.). Good question is when the newer model is so much more efficient it makes sense to replace them.
> I'm kind of surprised that in 2023, some signal replicator bridge from one side of the spinal cord to the other side isn't a lot more straightforward.

The issue is that the spinal cord is a bundle of cables essentially, a lot of axons from individual neurons. If you sever it, finding the right connection is impossible, so you have to use more blunt tools like electrical stimulation of the whole bundle.

We are getting better and better at labeling individual cells, even at a molecular level. When we understand how to do that, we might be able to do as you propose. I think we will see some forms of paralysis reverted in the coming decades with technologies such as those.

Posted on behalf of RMS:

Many of the postings here talk about my "support for open source." For instance, the first posting mentions my "insistence that all software should be open source." That is a misunderstanding, because what I advocate is the free software movement -- a different idea based on different values.

See https://gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html for an explanation of what free software and open source have in common, and where they differ. See fsf.org/tedx for a quick intro to the free software idea -- if you only know the open source idea, it may surprise you.
That's crazy. We had to learn the structure of all the amino acids in my biochem class a decade ago. I'm glad science has finally caught up. Maybe the advances could have happened faster if the scientists studied the structures of the amino acids that undergrads were drawing from memory.
Do you have any evidence or expertise to support this take? I've heard many times of other texts not digitized for the same reasons; I trust the experts have a reason.

The point is that Windows still sucks for a lot of tasks, upgrades and security-wise.

5-6 years, or 8 for newer releases, is a good lifespan for a cheap laptop. Just write a large expiry date in the listing and on the box.
> You absolutely can sell […] ASN blocks,

No you can't, because you can't actually acquire an ASN *block* to begin with.

Which is the point of my comment. Only the RIRs handle blocks of ASNs. As a non-RIR entity you can get individual ASNs, or multiple individual ASNs, but not an ASN block.
Clojure(+Script) is a most illuminating language. It teaches (forces) you to structure the flow of data in a refreshingly simple way.

> provided you remember to account for the current state of the notebook

Notebook style development is considered an anti pattern in most situations for this reason. It is too easy to execute out of order. Even the original parent of this thread said they recite the entire notebook every time to ensure they catch these issues. But, it’s not perfect and you can have leftover state this way too if you’re not careful.

My guess is that this is the reason the GP here is so against them. I find them helpful for data exploration, but that’s it.
> “we support what you’re doing, let’s talk, and keep talking”

I was talking with a first-time co-founder recently, and had to break the news to them that many people in startup space will always say they're interested, and never say no.

I've guessed it's to keep their options open, and to avoid/delay negative associations with the speaker that would come from saying no. (I suppose some might also do it for selfless reasons, of not wanting to discourage someone.)

> and when I put them in the slide deck or team page that’s how I learn who is really with me

Because they're the exception? That's a bad rule. The only way we improve things is by creating exceptions and adopting them.

Personally, I switched to ergo keyboards 20+ years ago and I'm much happier for it. I've had to change models over the years and there was always a brief adjustment, but it was minor -- and my hands rest is such a more natural position!
Linus Tech Tips covered a Chinese smart TV [1] that had a preloaded car commercial when you boot it up. The TV was not even connected to the internet, the video file was preloaded from the factory.

Agreed. I just bought an EV and I'm looking for a place to live, and it's extremely limiting being a single person but apartments not being viable unless I rely 100% on public charging. There's probably around 10% as many options when I only include places I could charge.

You mentioned "new hires" while i mentioned hobbyists. You're talking about a business network where people are paid to do it, I'm talking about home networks and home labs.

You're basically confirming my statement that IPv6 was designed for enterprise needs?

From their page:

> Disclaimer. Teaching functional programming is out of scope of this project, so the documentation assumes you already know what FP is.

Personally, and some might disagree here, but I think you simply shouldn't use fp-ts before you have a solid experience with "real" FP languages, because any usage of this library is quite messy on its own (after all, JS simply wasn't created for this) and it's easy to create even more mess and get frustrated about it later on. It's also IMO a bit useless to try and teach it because in order to get a good grasp of the abstractions you'd have to practice them yourself and see how they help your real code, and it's something that's much harder to do in JS than in a language which has you covered. You'd rather start with Haskell or PureScript if you wish to learn more.
A significant amount of issues that people have with cable internet is the bad modem/router combination the ISPs ship.

Outside the US coax based internet is rarer (its fibre or copper) so there isn’t a lot of good modem/routers.

So if you can’t get fibre, get an Eero or similar and at least replace your router.
> You don't need to be doing research to read an ML paper. With some general knowledge in AI you should be able to understand most papers.

I have a degree which involved reading some ML papers and I seriously doubt that. The field is flooded with papers which looks good when you quickly read them but are actually worthless because they misrepresent the state of the art or intentionally don’t compare their methods with other papers they should know.

> And even then, sometimes you don't understand or care about their procedures, and you just want to look at the pretty results

That’s fair but I wouldn’t call that reading a scientific paper.
That metaphor implies an understanding and overview that we simply do not have. Think of it as changing bytes in an executable file which will be run in 50 years, based on what "seems reasonable" to you staring at a wall of hex without even a de-compiler existing, much less you being able to use one. The only reason to even dream of it is not having to suffer the consequences, period. And that's not just because you might not be here in 50 years, it's because you're just one person in one very, very narrow walk of life, as opposed to being billions of people.

The carbon emissions of the richest 1% of humanity are more than double than that of the poorest half of humanity. Oil and coal companies profit, while putting out disinformation, as they have been for decades. But why step on the toes of the powerful when you can just use inject sulfur into the atmosphere?
Honestly for smaller projects I just keep throwing it away until I can write it again in a day and it's as simple as it can possibly be. Although I don't always remember to do this.

So neutron stars collisions are actually responsible for a huge chunk of the elements in the periodic table!? Mind blowing.

My original comment was the following:

> If you[r] job can be done 100% remotely it can also be done in India.

In context of that let me examine your points:

> If this was true, forty plus years of outsourcing efforts would have turned the US tech landscape into a purely legal and sales market.

For many cases it already is. A ton of tech work has *already* moved to India making their US branches primarily sales offices. But as I said, not all work can be outsourced to India. A lot of it must happen in offices in USA. This work is often high value, high collaboration work, as many companies including Google and Meta have figured, 100% remote hurts their competitive edge, reduces innovation and hurts collaborative problem solving. Not all jobs need this and all those jobs can be 100% remote but they will eventually move to India or someplace else where they can be cheaper.

> So you are saying that we could replace all the talent in the western hemisphere with Indian graduates, and, at the same time, too many Indians try to immigrate to these same countries?

I never made such strong claim, my claim was limited to remote jobs only. Yes, every remote job that pays well can move to some other region where someone will do it better than you for a lower pay. It is not a west v/s India but that is how markets function. Indians do hire a lot of western world people for things they are cheaper for example translation and content generation.

People are useful resource and jobs are not a zero sum game. When your remote job goes to India you don't become worthless, you rather find a job that is better suited for your skills and situation making your economy more resilient and efficient.

My broader point however is that if you are living in one of those high cost areas like Silicon Valley or NYC or Sydney and if your employer is okay with you being 100% remote, trust me that you wont have that job for long.
It's even crappier than that. There are loads of products that don't see the commercial light of day. Vested interests work very hard to suppress competitors before it even gets to the point where consumers have a meaningful choice. In other areas, gatekeepers (e.g. supermarkets) make decisions on behalf of the consumers, often actively suppressing information that might damage other product lines.
> For the short term future (decades) the only strategy that seems to make sense on the face of epistemic uncertainty is to refrain from aggravating the situation while studying ever more deeply the system we are now perturbing so much.

Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good. If climate change really was going to kill a billion people then taking the risk with some geoengineering would be better than just letting it happen.
I guess the top in the case might be the datacenter and stuff like A/H100 which have totally obscene margins compared to any consumer grade GPUs
I've re-read the comment to which you're replying a couple of times to make sure I didn't missing something myself. AFAICT, they weren't questioning the existence of people who cannot afford PCs or gaming consoles (the thrust of your reply). They were expressing surprise at the idea, possibly widespread, that merely owning a PC or a gaming console constituted some sort of surefire path to generating income for their owner.
Sounds like some excuse from shipping companies to avoid cleaning up their act.
Suzuki mostly sells its crap to the Indian market. Doesn't really sell much to the first world.

And Raghuram Rajan agrees. He has been saying it wont work and govt incentives should have gone to the services sector (which has been India's strength) instead of Apple - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUDaHgHC8ao

Indian labour can be a nightmare thanks to the numerous factions (religion/caste/language differences). All sides needs to be bribed to keep things running drama free. And that cuts into margins, in ways you wont see in other countries.

Services firms margins are 2-4x more than manufacturing margins, which is why their Services sector has thrived.
Even easier - let's say I send you a bunch of GPL code and tell you I'll pay you 1000 dollars if you never send it to anybody else. Easy money right? If you still send the code, I can't sue you for license violation - GPL allows you to do that. But you certainly took $1000 and didn't do what I paid you for. It's not just legal but sneaky, it's a violation of our contract, despite the fact the license is not violated - two different things.

> Advertising and Mixed Motives (Sergey Brin & Larry Page, 1998)

> Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users. For example, in our prototype search engine one of the top results for cellular phone is "The Effect of Cellular Phone Use Upon Driver Attention", a study which explains in great detail the distractions and risk associated with conversing on a cell phone while driving. This search result came up first because of its high importance as judged by the PageRank algorithm, an approximation of citation importance on the web. It is clear that a search engine which was taking money for showing cellular phone ads would have difficulty justifying the page that our system returned to its paying advertisers. For this type of reason and historical experience with other media, we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers.

> But we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm.

Once they earned their place as a monopoly the same understanding was applied to wield it on the darker side.

> “We expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers.”

They know exactly what it is that they are doing.
We were working on another product called ChatSeed (ChatGPT for teams) but found that many of our users wanted something with a bit more control. Building Magic Loops has been on our back-burner for awhile, and so we decided to dogfood ChatSeed to build this.

Our current plan is to keep Magic Loops running as long as people seem to like it (and especially because I track the tides with it!), but we also think it could be super powerful to run locally, so we're hoping to open-source it at some point as well.

I don't know why, but calling him a comedian sounds like an insulting put-down. He is a Python! (Maybe because, in this context, python excels at rapid prototyping?)
This kind of defeatist attitude doesn't help with the situation at all. We can all do our part in reducing our daily carbon emissions, raise awareness, and educate policymakers and business stakeholders on the importance of mitigating climate change!
I read many of the emails recently so I don’t think I am misremembering.

The missing sulphur effect suggests mainstream climate models are incomplete, which makes one skeptical of their results. In the same way deleted data and other shadiness during ClimateGate made people skeptical of the science then.

Your rewording is inaccurate. There is no masking, it was actually reflecting energy away from earth, reducing warming. This is important because, turns out, we unintentionally ran an ethically dubious climate engineering experiment, the results of which can now be used to inform future possible climate engineering efforts.
You can call it defeatist, but at this point it's factually true. We've made a negative amount of progress on this matter. And that's taken 40 years. We have very little time left. We have already locked in almost 2 degrees of warming.

These are all regrettable facts. But that are facts.

40 years of raising awareness and individual action has failed.
