>I mean it's bad but being number two to implement it

Number is irrelevant - power is.

>seems like the regulators should look at Apple first, not Google.

If some one person company proposed this instead, would you want regulators to look at them first?

To put it simply - Apple does not provide OS to smartphones and PCs, it manufactures them. So as long as they do not produce 50% of PCs or 50% of phones or have Microsoft agreeing with their proposal then they are lesser threat (for now).

It's like with Monopolies and Cartels - power over market should bring relative response from regulators over company - especially if that company tries to create proposal which invades users privacy.
I wonder - why isn't Arch the one distro to rule them all - especially if we talk about rolling release? I was distro hoping since 2008 - Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Centos, Fedora, Mint, Slack - you name it. When I found Arch, after a couple of months I knew it was over. It really "just works" in the best sence.
amazing to see this JS library uses minimal direct dependencies and even a separate devDependencies that are not needed for runtime - https://github.com/cloudflare/speedtest/blob/main/package.js...

A question you should ask yourself at the start that I rarely here any discussion of: how much do you want to expose your backend data model to your front end(s)?

If your answer is "completely", which it sometimes is, then GraphQL might be a good option. It's only a question of implementation details.

If the answer is "not at all" then GraphQL is probably going to be a bad idea because that is the whole point of GraphQL.

The reason people don't realize this is because sadly most people's idea of a REST API is already just a plain 1-1 mapping from DB tables to JSON objects served over HTTP. If you're doing that, you're already coupling any front ends or other consumers to your data model, so what do you have to lose with GraphQL (other than the complexity of deploying it)?

When REST was coined the goal was to hide as much data model stuff as possible. This is really really important if your backend app needs a high degree of interoperability across organizational boundaries, because data migration is hard! But if your API is consumed only by a small number of components that your organization has total control over, you might not care that much.

Years ago I used to see people implementing crude remote procedure call patterns over HTTP because they thought that's what REST was, and had been told it was better because of reasons. But this wasn't a better way of doing remote procedure calls. It was a much worse way! Now I see people using frameworks that just expose all their DB models as HTTP endpoints because they think that's what REST is and have been told it's better. That isn't really what REST is, and GraphQL might be a better way of doing that if that's what you need.

REST is a bunch of constraints that make interoperability and scalability easy to achieve. Maybe you benefit from those constraints and maybe you don't. But that's what you need to think about before you think about GraphQL.
In my case, I attended a Big 10 school specifically because I was a resident, so the tuition was in-state.
Is that a concept or a real shipping vehicle?

Oh god. It's the Cadillac from the article.
Darn. I got excited for a moment thinking that a major car manufacturer was selling a car that didn't have any infotainment features at all. Oh well.
The Power of Emotions in Decision Making
The paying audience is listening to Taylor Swift play at the closest stadium. The days of making a CD and living off those sales have gone the way of the, well, CD. The money now is in getting popular streaming, then going on tour.
I know some people at GM who work on in car interfaces. I remember asking one a few years ago why people would prefer an in-house solution over Carplay/Android Auto, and the answer I got was that there's a solid chance people won't. Guess we're about to find out.
OK, but it's a pretty big indicator, and apparently justified in being so because the people at top schools are just that much better than people like me.
I dont think that is a particularly helpful metric.

That Googler here. I do use Google! And yeah, I get sometimes people want older content and we show fresher content. We have systems designed to show fresher content when it seems warranted. You can imagine a lot of people searching about Maui today (sadly) aren't wanting old pages but fresh content about the destruction there.

Our ranking system with freshness is explained more here:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/ranking...

But we do show older content, as well. I find often when people are frustrated they get newer content, it's because of that crossover where there's something fresh happening related to the query.

If you haven't tried, consider our before: and after: commands. I hope we'll finally get these out of beta status soon, but they work now. You can do something like before:2023 and we wouldn't show pages from before 2023 (to the best we can determine dates). They're explained more here:

>The molten calcium-antimony design promises low cost and long life
> It's honestly insane. CarPlay does everything I want and the best part is it just works. A large part of that "it just works" is the fact that it's all based directly on my phone.

The insanity goes both ways: I refuse to use a cellphone, so I will not buy a car that has Android or Apple stuff.

Hopefully I'll have other options than this $130k Cadillac, but it's good to know some automakers cater to my preferences too.

> That restaurant we just decided to go to. Already in navigation. AND! the maps are all current with road closures/traffic issues

Funny enough, getting a GPS without auto updates and offering a full offline experience is now a premium, but I'm happy to pay for the exact opposite of what you want: a GPS without auto navigation / user tracking / not being happy to work with old maps if I decide it should (customer is king, except for apps!)

First of all, great blog post with great examples. Reminds me of distill.pub used to be.

Second, the article correctly states that typically L2 weight decay is used, leading to a lot of weights with small magnitudes. For models that generalize better, would it then be better to always use L1 weight decay to promote sparsity in combination with longer training?

I wonder whether deep learning models that only use sparse fourier features rather than dense linear layers would work better...

A better title would be "low-touch real estate speculation doesn't pan out for some people". AirBnB flippers have wreaked small havoc in my city, scooping up all kinds of units that would have otherwise sold to people who would actually have lived in them (not to mention work in and contribute to the community here). I'm praying for a crash in the AirBnB market so that we can actually reuse that housing for something productive.
> A type is something associated with terms (roughly, expressions) in a language

Unless you replace is with can, you're just spewing dogma, not computer science.

Under a particular paradigm, we can choose to associate types with the nodes in the program's abstract syntax tree, and to have types nowhere else. Then within that paradigm, when we say type, we refer to information attached only to the nodes in the program, and nowhere else.

While that is valid, it doesn't speak to everything that type is or can be.

Even, say, the .jpeg suffix on a file is a type, in a certain context.

Minor nitpick, but it's the "Kármán Line", not the Kalman line. Named after Theodore von Kármán, who calculated the limit of atmospheric flight.

Additionally, in orbit there is no force opposing gravity, so your description is somewhat inaccurate in its premise if not the point.
As a Paki citizen and resident, the US document is predictable and disappointing...but practically meaningless.

IK was brought to power by the Establishment[1]... and the Estb giveth and the Estb taketh away.

It's irrelevant on why they brought him to power, and it's irrelevant why they removed him. Maybe they were feeling itchy, or it was the phase of the moon, divining their true intentions is a fool's errand.

When they wanted him, they directed their stooges to join his party/coalition, (and supressed those that were not aligned) and he suddenly went from a essentially being a one-man show to an actual viable candidate.

When they didn't want him (for whatever reason), they didn't have to do anything actual coup-ing; they just had to direct their stooges to leave, (and let competitors know they have free reign, for now), and suddenly IK had no leg to stand on.

They have played this game before and they will play it again, in one form or another. A politician's own merits are unimportant[2], in a parliamentary democracy you need numbers, and Estb always has a steady supply of numbers they can lend or take away.

That the US was interested in the play is besides the point, when have not stuck their own hand in every pie? What's relevant are the main actors, and they should not be provided a cover by pretending American interest in anyway initiated what was a pre-mediated effort by a bored Estb anyways.

[1]: Establishment refers to any officials who have power but are not elected, but are instead selected or appointed, such as civil servants, judges, military personnel etc. In a more narrow definition refers to the Military top brass, but the other groups are often not that far behind in throwing their weight around.

[2]: that's a bit of an exaggeration but the point stands. Politicians can have merits but they can only go so far in swaying and cajoling the public to vote for them, and more importantly, their fellow party members.
Much easier to just bring in established "electables", people who for one reason or another, have a strong hold in a constituency, in to your fold.
Quite a few of such "electables" look for the Estb for guidance on where to go at any given election cycle.
Show HN: VectorFlow – Open-Source Vector Embedding Pipeline
Hey HN

We've just released the initial version of our open-source vector embedding pipeline. It's designed to embed large volumes of data. While embedding a few documents for Q&A is straightforward, consistently ingesting gigabytes of unstructured data is a whole different ballgame.

By using our API, you can embed raw data and store vectors in your vector database, sidestepping the complexities of cloud infrastructure.

Now, in true YC spirit, we're launching before everything is polished. Our Github repo (https://github.com/dgarnitz/vectorflow
) is a work in progress, and we're eager to get it in front of the community early on.

Check out our Github repo and let us know what you think. Your feedback, suggestions, and critiques will be highly appreciated as we continue to refine and develop.
Jassy's running the show now though.

With backup camera being mandatory, all cars are going to have a screen. If you have to have a screen anyway, might as well load it up with infotainment from strategic partners.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is also a great rolling release distro. For anyone that's never tried rolling release, the main benefit is that it keeps your tools/libs/kernel updated with the latest upstream.

If you use Ubuntu (for example) it ships with some python version (say 3.8), and then it will almost never update again unless you manually install a newer python version or update Ubuntu itself to the next release (which might not exist). With something like Tumbleweed (or Rhino in this case), updates come out every few days, and every time you do an update you'll find python is now on 3.10, then 3.11, etc.

It's really nice when every compiler/language is on the latest version by default.
define it.
actually very cool to me that you remember these pivots. From the inside these pivots were about solving problems we faced with our previous idea.

We mainly pivoted either because we discovered the market wasn't great, or we didn't have founder-market fit with the idea. There's a gut feeling aspect that plays in there as well, but it's mostly been analytical approach.
He seems to think that the "constraints will ease" as the Japanese economy implodes even further.

It might even be true that with the right incentives, they could convince the childless to have children. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to get that just because there is a theoretical incentive that could work doesn't mean that same theoretical incentive is anything anyone could hope to afford.
Forgive my conjecture, as I'm no expert in this field, but have enjoyed playing with the different models.

I see it as a matter of attention. GPT-4 is limited in the number of tokens you can feed it and receive back from it. I see this as how much attention the LLM can give you. I see meta-gpt and other models like this as increasing the attention of the LLM by allowing it combine it's short attention span with multiple assessments of the request, and give you a more complete picture of what you want because it can keep giving it consistent attention to the problem at hand, instead of simply trying to solve it on the first try.

Someone please correct me if I'm way off, but this simple mental model helps me abstract this.

That could be a good thing. Age of person and age of debt are two separate things. There could be millions of 50+ years old people who accrued that debt in the past 10 years. My parents didn't get degrees until their 40s.
I'd be very skeptical. I know a ton of people who went to East Coast Ivies. Many are not from the East Coast. Many are not literally WASPy and I can't imagine most of them being in a Social Register--and it's not like I especially have known an out of the mainstream crowd.
We don't run any batch jobs - Retake streams changes in real time via CDC (change data capture). The only batch job you would need to run is to populate an index when it's first created.

So are you stupid or blind? You can’t possibly thing of anything that would make people more pessimistic?
I have to fight my own team to keep them from turning on "screenshot everything" tools for everyone we suspect might be doing something.

Airbnb has absolutely wrecked most of the holiday spots in the UK. Locals can't afford to rent, so it's killing local shops - only the tourist traps remain.
I'd be curious how much of the link you read.

What they demonstrate is a neural network learning an algorithm that approximates modular addition. The exact workings of this algorithm is explained in the footnotes. The learned algorithm is general -- it is just as valid on unseen inputs as seen inputs.

There's no memorization going on in this case. It's actually approximating the process used to generate the data, which just isn't possible using k nearest neighbors.
I'm confused. RHEL source is already available in CentOS Stream and Alma Linux is already building from it, adding improvements and also started to contribute back to CentOS Stream.

So what is the OpenELA saying about makkng the source available for something already available?

Since it says about a trade association, may be it's about working together and splitting the revenue by cloning RHEL?
By the time it's mature, you'll wish for another one. That is, if you're even alive by the time that happens.
I think that expectation is only violated if you get unusual/dangerous outputs from innocuous inputs.

Just sounding this out but I think the expectation you are responding to is an expectation of an appropriate level of safety, which is more context dependent. For example, do any of the generated recipes actually pose a danger, in that they will participate in harming a human? My hunch is no, this would not present the same kind of danger the 'tide pod challenge' did and would never lead to unusual adverse outcomes (anyone can find out about an allergy from a new ingredient in a recipe for example).

Just exploring the topic here though. I think the perspective that a 'meal planner' should never produce plainly hazardous meal plans is perfectly rational.
I was being facetious, I of course read the "article" before commenting. Only the first paragraph was actually about this particular vehicle model, the others went on random tangents about GM/Tesla business direction and Apple sales data.

The large pillar-to-pillar screen is pretty cool but the text doesn't specify whether it's touch or not. Squinting at the image a bit, pretty obvious that it is. Same for the center console.

I suppose it's a given that all screens have to be touchable now. Such a drag, input challenge is dangerous when hurtling down the highway. Prefer to have physical controls I can grab onto.
It's incredibly difficult (read: impossible) for this type of organization to be a true 501(c)3.
> No one has extra money to travel and stay in AirBnBs.

It depends on the location. In my experience, Airbnb seems to be booming in some places since remote work is the norm. Lots of people now use it as their main provider of housing and for longer periods.

> No one has extra money to travel and stay in AirBnBs

This is categorically false in the US at least. Average disposable income in the US is $58,947 in 2023 to date (the median number is not easily found unfortunately). This number is up slightly from 2022.

Disposable income was WAY up for about a year from mid 2020 to mid 2021 and people in white collar jobs had broad flexibility. I think it's broadly understood that this combined with low interest rates caused a boom in short term vacation rentals. With interest rates up and people returning to offices, it seems natural that short term rentals as a business would suffer.

I dunno about that, every time Sugar man or I Wonder started playing when I was growing up, someone would tell me "This guy isn't famous anywhere else! No-one even knows where he is!". I must have been told this factoid 20 times when I was a teenager.
How does one make a point-release distro into a rolling one? A distro is a repo and configuration (and, of course, the community that grows around it, but that’s sort of ephemeral). So, if they are doing rolling release, they must not be using Ubuntu’s repos… what do they use?

Anyway, this is not to poo-poo a new rolling release distro; the more the merrier. I think people are waking up to the fact that rolling, with fewer moving parts per update, is the best way to get stability. Debugging effort grows like O(2^n) where n is the number of packages updated.
At a minimum, it will pull location and anything the drivetrain knows about.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it also somehow ended up MITM'ing / screen scraping / OCR'ing apple services.

The only solution at this point is legislation.
