Whatever other faults the Canonical process has, BYOD sort of makes sense to me from a dogfooding perspective with a company carrying a major desktop Linux offering.

Would look for a budget or have it reflected in their offer analysis though.

This project was not generative AI. Comments are saying this project, which is not at all similar to generative ai, seemed to be okay. But you keep replying to say essentially “but if it was generative ai then authors have a legitimate reason to be angry”.

There is no need to shoehorn that debate into this particular situation, and I see no merit in defending authors that had a knee jerk reaction to this project on the grounds that they have reasonable fears about other types of projects.

Yes, the manufacturer's own biodistribution studies showed that it was detectable in the spleen, kidneys, ovaries, testicles, and bone marrow etc until at least 48h after. At the end of the study, some markers were still increasing but they didn't bother to find out when it peaked and declined.

Note that this is in complete opposition to the original claims during the vaccine campaign that the vaccine stayed local in the arm.

We're currently grappling with trying to build a system similar to https://stripe.com/sigma with a single multi-tenant Postgres db as the source and an SQLite read replica per tenant. Currently we re-generate the world every night. We need fine-grained control over the SQLite schema (it's a public api we let users write sql against). Any related projects would be great to point me towards!
What's the yearly income for a lifestyle business look like for a founder? $100k/year or $1M/year?
Or you could use STUN and just send packets to a peer. Or use v6. Or anything from RFC6544. The reason UPnP is popular is so many home router people implemented it. If you have a real router, you have more options. As I pointed out, I have a real router and talk to people who have real routers that support things other than a 2008 version of UPnP.

Which is to say, you do not REQUIRE UPnP for webRTC. But yes, if you have a crap router given to you by your ISP (looking at you, SBC and Comcast) then UPnP may be your best bet. My point is you don't NEED UPnP if you have a real router.

I should be saying... thx for bringing me up to speed on this. UPnP is obviously not something I spend a lot of time on.

Show HN: Instant Datasets: Production data for development
Hello, Hacker News! I'm Erik, cofounder of Release (YCW20). At Release we help “virtualize” your environment, so you can quickly reproduce it for various purposes: remote development, testing, staging, or even running production. But, today I would like to introduce our most popular feature that we are now offering for free: Instant Datasets!

Instant Datasets allows you to easily create multiple pools of datasets and distribute them to your teams and it cleans up after itself. Imagine you have multiple production databases in RDS and you need that data when doing testing and development. I don't know about you, but I'd be a very rich person if I had a nickel for every time a bug on production was related to data inconsistencies and only presented itself after a deployment. Using production data (cleansed or not, up to you) is a great way to get a lot of the benefits of testing in production without the downsides. Instant Datasets makes it simple to create pools of production or production-like and distribute them to whomever needs it.

We use it and love and so do our customers, so today we are offering the service, outside of Release for the first time. We would love feedback if you give it a try. Let us know what it's missing. These are things we know about right now.

Currently, we support RDS and Aurora in AWS, with Google Cloud support coming soon. Additionally, we will be adding the capability to pause databases on a schedule to save resources and money, as well as the ability to cleanse production data before creating a pool of databases. All of these features exist in the Release platform and are being added to the stand-alone product currently.

If you would like more info you can check-out our launch YC (it has more details, screen shots, and diagrams): https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/JBE-instant-datasets-production-data-for-development

Our quickstart quide: https://docs.release.com/release-instant-datasets/quickstart

Walkthrough video: https://vimeo.com/849156936

Signup and Use it: https://beta.release.com/instantdatasets/register

Please give it a try! Let us know what you would change about a product like this. We have a bunch of ideas for this thing in the future, but would love to hear what you have to say. Feel free to email me at erik@release.com or leave a comment, looking forward to chatting with you.

Thank you for reading.
Not hearing a case is nearly as impactful as hearing one. Its just easier to overturn it in the future if they want to.
i see. hmmmmm ... that's not supposed to happen, and it works fine on both nixos and ubuntu for me. may be something funky going on, i'll see if i can take a look sometime soon.
This problems is mostly solved for in state vs out of state tuition. Just institute 12-15 month waiting period or 3 months waiting period with full time job.
I think gluten is like lactose, fiber, fat, etc.: if you suddenly eat more than you usually do, your body will need a time to adapt your digestion to it. This looks like more than moderate discomfort, though.
> Instead of barfing when assigning a Float to an Int, just auto round?

Rounding involves a loss of data. If an operation would result in data loss, that operation should not be automatic. It should only be possible by the dev intentionally choosing it.

Retool and others are internal application platforms. The concept exists since the dawn on computer. SAP, IBMs of the world always had one offering like this.

You always need an internal platform may be for seeing the order status of the shipped product or some customer data etc. The consumer of the tool is a customer service agent or an internal employee etc. These tools does not have to be perfect , they have to be functional.

It has always been a huge market as it saves ton of money for an org. These days as building UI and APIs have become democratized, the market for internal applications platform have become very competitive.
I personally experience the polar opposite.

Our office had ice cream fridges, candies, people ordering in daily, etc.

I threw away a lot of money and ate a lot of extra calories because acting as a group was strongly encouraged, meaning I would go out with the team every "let's eat out at a fast food place Friday" (if not more often).

When I am at home in my controlled space, there are no snacks because I do not buy any. There are no restaurants because I live far from downtown & fast food places by choice.

When I have a lot of willpower to do so, I even workout during the day and then take a shower. The best I could do at the office is go for a walk next to a road filled with cars.
Ask HN: Explain how size of input changes ChatGPT performance
I'm trying to understand if the relationship between the size of my inputs to ChatGPT API and the performance. It's super variable today so I imagine most of the time is spent waiting my turn in a queue....let's remove that for now.

In a hypothetical where I can run my inputs directly on good hardware how should I be thinking of performance of these models in relation to my input / output size?

And what's happening under the hood in the model's architecture? It seems to return 1 token at a time? Does that mean it predicts one token at a time, adds that to the context window, and then does another forward inference pass?

If I tune a model to respond with simple `0` or `1` answers to yes and no questions will that be faster than letting it answer "yes {reason}" or "no {reason}"? If it were inferring single tokens it seems like that would always be faster, but if it were inferring a block of tokens maybe not...?

I'll summarize everything shared here into a blog post for the next person who asks :) Thanks.

SolidJS is currently faster at runtime. Not sure it could beat Svelte at developer time. And with the reported speed improvements in Svelte 5 (waiting to see how those bear out in the real world), the difference isn't going to be how fast in runs in your browser; it'll be how fast you can go from a blank IDE text window to a user's browser.

let features = 0;
let people = 1;

$: featuresPerPerson = features / people;

function addPerson() {
people++;
}

function addFeature() {
features++;
}

Folks might consider it magic, but it's a lot closer to our mental model of the problem than anything SolidJS can give. As for "magic", we're working with sand we shot with lightning to make it think. If you don't like magic, you're in the wrong vocation. The only question is whether or not the magic is useful, predictable, and reliable. I consider Svelte to be that right kind of magic.

seems like this was posted for feedback, here's mine

- seems like the market data about components is out of date, so I wouldn't actually trust this.

- pcpartbuilder is helpful in large part because there are links to actually buy the components

- really what I'd want to do is describe what I want to do with the computer, then have it suggest things -- not just select from a dropdown. That would actually be helpful; there's a learning curve to stay abreast of the latest hardware things and really what I would want is "tell me what's the good stuff to buy" like you might find if you google "best workstation build for ai" or watch a Linus tech tips video

- I'd want to take a look at the list of components and edit them and have it recalibrate, like "actually I think this case looks really cool" and then have it automatically readjust components based on for example things that fit in the case

- I'm guessing this is using a LLM based on the out-of-date market data. For the above, I think you would really just need a robust set of apis about pc part data and then use LLMs to function call into the apis. It seems like pcpartpicker is the group with this data, not sure if they expose it to other developers

Regardless of the opinion of the Democratic candidates, they were not literally criminals, and not obviously incompetent.

I don't particularly care if you voted for Biden only because he wasn't Trump. That seems like kind of the absolute bare minimum level of agreement -- one that tens of millions of Americans fell below. With it, we can at least pretend to hold a national conversation about policy issues you're discussing. Without it, the entire proposition of democracy appears to fall apart.
I don't think the Supreme Court has refused to hear the case, they've just refused to vacate the stay that is preventing the lower court's ruling from taking effect yet.

> And personally, I think book recommendations are an absolutely underserved market

I haven't read about the industry in years but isn't it the case that the job of "book recommendations" is essentially the publishers job? They unironically try to sell you more than a book. An algorithm would threaten their worth.

(There are, of course, other useful functions like publishing and the irreplaceable editors, but neither require the capital strength of marketing.)
I apologize for the quotes around intend. I wrote it without, then I forgot it was a paraphrase and added them back again. Unfortunately, I cannot edit my comment to fix that.

I do think “intend” is a reasonable paraphrase of “never wanted to.”

(Edited to add) I don’t think prosecraft was a finished project and he was definitely still working on his other tool for writers that incorporates some of the same tools.

> The tweet about fine-tuning an LLM came 5-6 years after the guy made prosecraft; why suggest they might involve the same dataset?

The reason being that he had mentioned he was planning to use the scraped books for future analysis.
Or watch some YouTube videos about arc-flash.
This is a really good take. I have some experience with it though I'm not a C-Suite person. Over my 15 years of software engineering I've always had a job that had flexibility to let me work the way I wanted. Some offices and some buildings were worse than others but in general I was always able to set my hours, work from home or from a random place (i.e. coffee shop, park, mall, whatever) as I saw fit.

There were always times I needed to be present in person and I never scoffed at those. What I found recently, is employers are trying to shift from one extreme (fully remote) to the other. I hope we land back in the middle because I'm happiest when no one tells me what to do. I want to be treated like an adult and measured on merit and performance, not physical attendance.

It's not clear to me that contrails actually trap more heat than they reflect back. I didn't see any evidence in this blog post demonstrating that the increased heat trap offsets the increase in albedo.

Edit: I realized they cited an IPCC report, which states that contrails are "estimated to have a combined Effective Radiating Force (ERF) that is about 57% of the current net ERF of global aviation", they do go on to say that other studies estimate the forcing could be smaller.

Not sure I believe that contrails represent this big a percentage of ERF. I think far more research needs to be done before these claims by Google and researchers are made.

The type system can be understandable to normies while the implementation is not. I would rather have a type system that is correct and consistent, with the complexity hidden away, than to have to know where the boundary is in the 80/20 system, which seems like the perfect place for bugs to enter your code.
Through the maintenance of ideal CV risk factors and lifestyle behaviors. Once the atherosclerosis advances to the point of being fibrotic or scarred, it becomes harder/perhaps impossible to reverse that physical condition, but even then, if you can't quite restore the tissue damage, you can restore your health back to previous levels as your body adapts to its new form.

Very similar possibilites/outcomes are also observed in lungs when people quit smoking, and in the liver when people change their lifestyle or stop drinking.

That's fair as well.. matching launch chipset and CPU is a pain. Also, even in Phoenix, I had trouble getting access to an older CPU to update a MB chipset for a new build last year... wound up spending $100 more on a newer chipset MB. It had bios flashback, but that didn't work.

What happened is that Amazon charges sellers storage fees for their products not selling. Some sellers have no ability to take the products back to store them themselves, e.g. the products were sent directly from the factories to Amazon warehouse. When the storage fees become excessive, sellers just start to ship the products to random people to get rid of them.

Read the rest of Jonathan Haidt's substack too - pretty compelling arguments that the constant use of social media, replacing normal interactions, is causing the crisis (not just correlative.)

Replacing children's play, exercise, and social interactions with unlimited crack-pipe smart-phones and algorithmic social media has been a complete disaster. And it doesn't even end once kids are 18. I have two young adult children: one managed to navigate the landscape and is thriving, the other not so much. Both were happy and relatively well prepared when they went off to college.

I don't want to be too pessimistic, but this is only going to get worse - the interests of the social media companies are diametrically opposed to general mental health. Fixing the problem would be like forcing tobacco companies to stop using nicotine in their products. Without the addiction, there is no product.

As well as "I'd rather leave my current job than go back to the office."

My company has spent the last 8 months trying to explain why they want us back in the office for hybrid work. At first it was, "mentoring young staff." And lately it is, "It doesn't look great to potential clients when they visit an office and the office is empty." This new argument sounds like a BD edge case.

It seems to entirely be senior leaders and senior empty nesters pushing for this, while everyone else is not in favor.

Except if the goods have strings attached. "Strings" here could be breaking local regulations, being counterfeits, contaminated with toxic materials, etc.
