The author has discovered "autoregressive" (AR) models, which are time series 101 and not a "hack". I think an introductory blog post should introduce relevant terminology, so that a reader can learn more. The statsmodels package of Python can fit both AR(1) and higher-order AR models, as well as ARMA model, as can the "forecast" and several other packages of R.

I was trying to help the person. too me it sounds kind of like dick to say you need differentiation for your offering go ask GPT for a list of ways to differentiate. I probably should have had it narrow it down to 3 to 5.
I think there's no better use of the phrase "hit's different" than when talking about Rare games (or Rareware as we called it when I was a wee bairn).

> CPUs that need an insane amount of power and have barely any applications in mainstream computing. Not exactly a good fit to provide to customers.

Obviously there's no real market for Sparc or POWER in the public cloud, and there probably never was a time window for creating a viable market either.

But if they'd wanted to get into the server ARM market, they would have had the expertise in-house, there was no need to buy out some startup for the team. That their expertise was on CPUs with different microarchitectures, but that shouldn't matter all that much (didn't matter when Apple bought PA Semi to work on ARM instead of PowerPC).

> By running their own CPUs, AWS doesn't have to rely on Intel's ability and willingness to ship stuff and they don't have to pay Intel's margin either.

Right, being in control of your own destiny rather than being tied to a single supplier is a big deal, and that's one example of what I meant by the strategic reasons. Having more leverage over Intel and AMD on pricing is another. Making it harder for some customers to move their workloads away (because they're bought into ARM and other companies don't have compelling ARM offerings) is a potential third.

Not having to pay Intel's margins is a potential advantage, but requires reaching sufficient scale to offset the costs of running your own CPU team.

But for any of this to make sense, they need to successfully move a large proportion of their customers over to ARM. Just having the servers available and nobody using them does nothing. That's exactly the kind of situation where you'd want to subsidize the prices for the ARM servers and build up the customer base. That's the case even if ARM has some intrinsic perf/$ advantage; you'd still want to subsidize it to the point where you're able to saturate your ability to manufacture and install ARM servers.
Even if you were to overcome the massive hurdle of porting a driver between two completely different kernel architectures, you would not be able to load it without enabling driver testing mode at boot time, or without buying a code signing certificate.
the difference is that an machine analysis is necessarily limited and can't account for all the factors that make a text interesting. so it is possible that this analysis rejects texts that would not be rejected by a human.

it is objective but potentially biased. and it could even be discriminating if the input for this tool isn't diverse enough. but these are the issues that can go wrong with any use of technology, and we have seen many examples of that happening. however i don't think that is problematic if writers use it to analyse their own texts in comparison. it is however a serious issue if publishers use it to decide what to accept

I am a bit confused about what's so outrageous about this tool. It seems that both the book authors, and some of the people in the discussion here, conflate rudimentary statistics about a book (number of words of certain kind) with the latest wave of generative AI. They are very different in both what value they provide, and what risk they pose to book authors.

The tool that book authors got outraged about only provides basic metrics, not dissimilar from other metrics such as "page count", and can't be used to produce new content which could deprive the book authors from revenue.
If an original part is unavailable, yeah, I'd replace it with a more modern replacement. I prefer that it remains functional more than keeping it 100% original. But I would still first try to find an original part. And I'd feel somewhat disappointed, and the computer would feel a little less appealing to me, if I could only find an FPGA based replacement. I know that's bizarre, and I can't rationally explain it, so I guess I agree with you in a way.
It looks like the author of the tool took the it down himself, voluntarily. If this even counts as "killing" the tool, the author did it, not fear of AI.
It's exactly this. Our company got a great, large dedicated office space during the peak of Covid for a pretty great deal. Note at the time it was still one of the most expensive options, but the location, amenities and quality of the office space made it worth it.

When it came time to renew they tried to more than double the rent. We then downsized to a space less than a fourth the original space - just a couple desks and a small meeting room. That worked out great - most employees are now firmly remote anyway, but we have a good space, and anyone can use our block of credits, so if we need to have a bunch of folks onsight for an in-person meeting we just book a large meeting room and it works great.

I think WeWork was horribly mismanaged by Neumann, but I still think they'd be in giant doodoo even if they had great management. The pandemic really fundamentally changed work patterns forever.
Have you ever worked in a big company? Appeals to ethics or even common sense won't get you very far. On the other hand, just doing what you're told is expected and rewarded. Like the Emperor's New Clothes. You either play along with the narrow-minded, often cultish, pursuit of whatever is deemed good for "the business", or you leave.
Unfortunately, they couldn't repeat their earlier successes after the N64 era. Knightlore was a revelation back in the day, a case of "I can't believe what my eyes are seeing" in terms of graphics and gameplay. It was not very different than Doom years later, but of course in the much more limited scale of the game market of the time.
The idea that this was a tech company because they have a integrated portal for management of your office subscription was always laughable.

The thing is that my comment couldn't be anyhow related to today's situation (I've used the past tense) since communist doesn't exist anymore (not the way it used to) and most of the country that implemented it widely abandoned it (probably the only exception is perhaps North Korea)
I've never noticed unusual traffic from my machine using Nord, nor have I ever heard of that being the case. This is something trivially noticeable and measurable. Two companies having the same founder =/= the two companies operate remotely alike.

I'm glad you're in a position to not need a bank account. Unfortunately the vast majority of us rely on having a bank account and a credit record to exist in society.

Has anyone standardised on plus notations usage?
I was thinking... until we implement some form of metadata to emails...

Could we have some standard to encourage the use of + notations and a list of recommended email filters that can be easily imported to gmail/thunderbird/etc... to autosort emails to the right folder?

(For searchability, this is called subaddressing, but it is also known as plus addressing, tagged addressing or mail extensions)

If we can get enough companies and individuals to stick to this notations, then it would make managing emails and filtering emails less of a hassle.

I'm thinking of a list that would have one field called 'well-known' tag and another row that would contain description.

As for the plus address... should we append a UUID to make it more distinct? e.g. `testuser+invoice-b8e10d8c-5a3b-4006-93e7-9e7180d80215@example.com` which would have a well known subaddress tag 'invoice' and a UUID which would have a more detailed explanation that this is an incoming invoice etc...

One possible reason for having a UUID, is maybe you have an invoice that is actually a bit more structured... (e.g. has an einvoice that can be parsed by a program or something) so maybe it be good to be able to disambiguate between both?

Anyway that's enough thoughts before we veer off into bikeshedding territory. Be happy to hear your thoughts if this should be explored further.
Ages ago, my QA/Test people reveled in managing releases.

I wouldn't know how to find those kind of people today.

Just something to think about when interviewing those sysadmin types (recommended by others).
For me, the packaging mechanism itself is a less important step than the idea of distributions: can I set up a collection of packages that is known to be mutually compatible? Or is the approach "one repository to rule them all"? This is where I always (when I was poking at it, a while back) ran into trouble with Cabal and Stack. It was always possible (likely, in fact) that I would select some set of libraries that managed to be mutually incompatible, so I had to go version-chasing to get something that worked.

This is something that Linux distros had to solve right from the start, so it's built into the concept, but I only very rarely see it done at all, let alone done well, in language package managers.
Obviously this bit is implied. But, they should have done the safety studies so people can make a fully informed decision. It seems very unlikely they're going to direct all people taking this to stop breastfeeding, because it's going to make it sound like a poison and people won't buy it. Got to put profits first, I guess.

Is that what a compost bin is?
Absolutely but the idea that you can basically "deperson" someone's voice without any review in the case of most large social media platforms seems more like a concentration of power than a distribution of. In this context its against a president so its a check but in the context of Joe Schemo its just an abuse you have to take. Regardless of if it is the CCP or Social Media Companies censoring its still censoring
Yup. As a Cuban, sometimes it is annoying and sometimes go beyond that. Some cloud providers are totally off limits for us, some are fine with us (the minority and less known), some let us use some services but no others, some even have valid OFAC licenses but still deny access (because ACL complexities, I suppose)... it's all over the place. That's why I'm 95% of the time on crappy VPNs both to escape/evade US sanctions and my own country censoring mechanisms.

The thing is, I somewhat understand why the sanctions were placed decades ago, but... is that rationale still valid? Anyway, and sadly, the sanctions affect "regular" people like me the most. The ruling elite? Not at all.

Thank you for your position, BTW!
Yea, it's actually fairly simple:

1. Actually do something, aka figure out what the goals are and ask the right people if there is confusion during the sprint.

2. Know the product and related teams.

3. Don't micro-manage and otherwise fake productivity.

4. Take responsibility and some blame.

Some people could potentially find this offensive. They're unlikely to be offended enough to say anything to you, but never the less may not appreciate their loved-ones place of rest being used as an outside gym. You should find another place to go running. The cemetery is neither the only place to run, nor the most appropriate.

On the other hand, what is and isn't appropriate is entirely subjective. I know I'd be happy for someone to run by my grave, and ideally I think cemeteries should be beautiful enough that people want to go to them for reasons other than to morn. They should be happy places. Not sad. If someone disagrees, that is ultimately their problem. So long as you're not doing anything otherwise objectionable while running (you're sticking to paths, not littering, etc) you should continue to run in the cemetery.
> The idea that counting adverbs is steal their work to the point they won't want to publish anymore is clearly FUD.

I did not mean that, I am genuinely not sure if you rephrased my point to make it sound wrong or if you missed it.

My point was that, IMO, it does not matter to the other whether counting adverbs is stealing their work or not. Probably if you counted them manually they would be fine (and most likely they were fine before generative AI).

What matters to them is that generative AI is trained from their copyrighted material, and they fear it (I would, too).

WeWork Issues Going-Concern Warning (5-comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37056312
But the Targaryens behave as atheists. They don't act as if they believed the gods were judging them. Even without dragons, the subsequent kings don't act as if they were divinely ordained [1]

The vikings who massacred Christians had their own religion. What's the Targaryen's? What's the Lannisters'?

You simply cannot claim to be depicting a realistic medieval society (with magic), as Martin does, without this. And many other details he got wrong.

By Martin's own admission, dragons and magic are not an excuse for being inconsistent or "unrealistic". Vast armies cannot be raised and teleported to battlefields just because there are dragons. Dragons are no excuse for blowing up a major cathedral with no consequences.

----

[1] If you watch HBO's prequel, it's even worse: at a time when the Targaryens had plenty of dragons, there were warring factions within them, all vying for the throne, each claiming to have the "rightful" heir. But where's the legitimacy of each claim supposed to be derived from? Kings claim "rightful" inheritance through lineage, but somewhere up the line there must be a divine right to rule. So they may have disagreements about whether it's matrilineal or patrilineal (cue Henry V and the Hundred Years War), or whether someone was a bastard, but ultimately every feudal king though he had a god-given right to rule. Otherwise what would the different claimants be arguing about?
Show HN: Infracost (YC W21): Be proactive with your cloud costs
Hi, we are Ali, Hassan, and Alistair, co-founders of Infracost (https://www.infracost.io/). Infracost helps engineers see the cost of each Terraform change before launching resources. When changes are made, it posts a comment with the cloud cost impact. For example, “you’ve added 2 instances and volumes, and change an instance type from medium to large, your bill will increase by 25% next month, from $1000 to $1250 per month”.

We launched in February 2021 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26064588), and Infracost is now being actively used by over 3,000 companies. However, there is a shift happening in the cloud cost management space. New teams, called FinOps teams (a combination of "Finance" and "DevOps"), are being formed within companies to manage cloud costs.

One of the first tasks assigned to these teams is to determine "who is using what" - that is, which teams, business units, products, etc. are spending the most on cloud. To accomplish this, they use tags. Tags are labels that all cloud resources should have and are key-value pairs. For example, a server could be tagged with: product=HackerNews; environment=production; team=blueTeam. So if resources are not tagged properly, then you can’t tell who is using what.

However, FinOps teams face challenges because their tools are reactive. These tools begin by analyzing cloud bills and providing visibility of tags from there. This means that they are looking at resources that are already running in production and costing money. A customer recently shared, “I want all resources to be properly tagged. But if they are not, I would rather a resource not be tagged at all than be tagged incorrectly.”

My "aha" moment! FinOps teams can define a tagging policy that can be validated in CI/CD before resources are launched. This is important because if code is shipped with the wrong tags, FinOps teams will have to fight for sprint time to fix them. Even if you shut down an untagged resource directly in the cloud, the next time Terraform runs, the resource will launch again with no tag. You need to fix the issue at its root.

I’d love your feedback on our solution to the tagging problem. You define your tag key-value policy in our SaaS product, and Infracost checks all Terraform resources per change. If anything fails the policy, it posts a comment with the details of which resources need tags, and what the allowed values are. Once fixed, it will let the code be shipped to production.

Try it out by going to https://dashboard.infracost.io/, setting up with the GitHub app or GitLab app, and defining your tagging policy. It will then scan your repository and inform you of any missing tags and their file and line number. You can use the free trial, but if you need more time, please message me and I’ll extend it for you.

I would also love to hear how others ensure that the correct tag keys and values are applied to all resources, and whether this is done proactively or reactively. Additionally, I would be interested in hearing about any lessons learned in the process.

Cheers

I'm guessing there are some cryptographic keys included in the installation that requires updating once every N days, and if it doesn't, it's unable to validate new updates somehow.

"Evergreen" when it comes to browsers just means that they try to update themselves rather than letting the OS handle the process, it doesn't mean it's always successful :)
Sure. For example serving TCP/HTTP with net.FileListener works, which really opens things up at least for me.

You can scale the difficulty based on how likely an LLM thinks a post is spam or not (just don't only use OpenAI's please)
The way I see it, things like that are critical for long term capability maintenance; having or not having fabs for mass production of simpler chips is what determines whether your country will have a workforce which would make it possible to build and run a cutting edge fab later; if you keep offshoring the cheap and simple stuff, eventually the state of art stuff goes there as well.
Because it's who you know, rather than what you know, that drives the VC ecosystem for the most part.

I believe that the authors are not fighting against that tool in particular. They are fighting about generative AIs being trained with their material without their consent.

Which is totally legit to me. Maybe this tool is just a collateral damage of a much bigger debate, I don't know. The fact is that in the bigger debate, it does feel like engineers don't seem to care much about the artists. Why would the artists care about individual engineers and individual use-cases?

> If you want to do this kind of thing, let authors opt-in (or publishers).

If it's fair use, why should you have to do that? The same copyright law protecting author's ownership rights over their art also provide "fair use" to other people. Someone may disagree with current fair use laws (and I suspect many outraged here do not), but that's a broader issue not related to this particular tool. It just 100% seems like misdirected AI outrage.
