I have a Supernote, so while I cannot really speak for Remarkable, but it's mind boggling to see others compare them to the iPad.

With Supernote I can read without the eye strain, and I can write as if I was using pen on paper. These devices do not try to do everything a tablet does, but reading on an eInk screen is much more pleasant to my eyes -- and so is the writing experience.

Although I don’t believe you’ve never heard of runaway. It’s not as if this is some niche argument; it’s a well-understood mechanic that underpins most arguments about climate change. If this is new to you, I daresay you’ve been wearing some extremely heavy duty blinkers.

I'd be shocked if they had any solid claim at even $1B using honest numbers. The crypto world loves to make valuations like “I just sold one to my buddy at $500, the other tokens are worth $45 trillion” but at the end of the day there just wasn't that much liquidity since most people aren't interested in the product. For a company like FTX which is getting fees from their customer's holdings that doesn't leave a lot of room for billions unless they could have cashed out at the peak of the bubble.
It is endgame when AGI comes to fruition (which it will, it is just a matter of time, either in 10 years, 50 years, etc...), robots with AGI will be the ultimate life form in the universe and the final evolution of "life" on earth. It is laughable to think something so much more intelligent than people will somehow become a slave to us and do our bidding.

People like collecting whatever. I buy a pack now and then at 711. It’s fun to see if you get players you like or if you pull a card that’s out of date (player is on a different team because the card was printed before the season started, or the text on the back predicts a good year when they end up having a laughably bad one, etc.)
Watch out for html escaping.
I had to learn ed years ago to configure a device that only had a serial port (it didn't run unix or termcap, but they ported ed for configuration purposes). Every once in a while my machine gets bogged down enough that I can pull up ed and make changes faster than vi (vim?) can load.
Packet switched pneumatic tubes. Back when pneumatic tubes were a big thing we didn't have a lot of the technology we have now. I think a lot of the inefficiency in pneumatic tube networks could be made up for by modern computing and robotics.

Obviously a lot of challenged but if you could get the downtown core of a high density city on board as a trial project you could be delivering everything from packages to fast food. It's an expensive piece of infrastructure to invest in, and I know big companies like Amazon are expecting drones to solve all their problems, but I can't help but think the answer is to just lay out some pipe and build the network.

I think once you have a network like that it changes the economics of a lot of stuff. Maybe you can even use return packets for garbage collection. I think if you can get the per packet price low enough it opens the doors for a lot of new business ideas.

Yep, exactly as expected. Karma alone can mess with incentives, I cannot imagine that adding monetary incentive does anything but make it worse. Also crypto has the reverse-midas-touch from everything I've experienced first-hand or read so adding that into the mix is just another black mark.

I will ask the one thing that is relevant to me:

Can I plug in the device into my PC/Notebook and up/download documents via the cable?

If the answer is no, or contains the word "Cloud" at any point other than in the context that there is no need to use any "Cloud" to up/download documents, then I don't care how well made the product is, I don't care how good the writing experience is; If a notetaking device doesn't work without relying on some "cloud", I won't buy it, end of story.

My family wants to set up online photo sharing, and has defaulted to google. I'm not familiar with what they offer but they would be my last choice to trust for something like this.

Clearly the judge didn't consider it "completely legal", presumably based on 18 U.S.C. § 1512[0] which says the following may result in a fine or imprisonment (edited for brevity):

That is okay, your libs can be uniquely named, and have unique symbols.

I would echo the suggestions that you may be better off going for a byte code interpreter, at least as a first stage. If interpreting rules is expensive enough to worry about compiling then it’s probably expensive enough to be thinking about resource limits, interruption, and maybe profiling, and that stuff will be easier to experiment with if you have an interpreter.

If via some magic, the electoral system changed as I described despite those who won in the current system being in power, then the primary candidates would lose against moderate independents hardly anyone knew except for the reasons described. Except that the parties would forsee that and run different candidates using ranked voting in the primaries as well. Again, that is if somehow the changes could ever be made. Where it has happened it has often happened via referendum, and even then, it has been reversed on multiple occasions as well. I think Seattle just selected for local elections? It will be interesting to see how that goes.

It's disheartening to realize that the frontend space is no better now than when I began my career in 1990. And it's also disheartening that even though computers are like 5000 times faster now, that they feel slower to me as a developer and as an end user.

Yes, they don't do it out of interest for the community, rather as a path to shepherd devs into their ecosystems.

Yet, angry forks of their products usually die a slow death, as bills have to be paid and doing long nights isn't for everyone.

Because like it or not, many FOSS products only exist thanks to big corps money.

Bulk laundry service using RFIDs. The economics of scale are different when you can just throw all the fabric into one giant washer/dryer, like the type they use in hospitals, and let robots sort out who owns what. My province has one central laundry facility that services basically all government buildings (hospitals, prisons, etc) using giant washing machines. RFIDs let us turn something like that into something that can service an entire community.

A friend of mine made tens of thousands, buying and selling trading cards. And that's what he sold, what he didn't sell is worth even more. As an investment, it beats most of the more "serious" options.

It is crazy, people pay hundreds for a pack of new cards, just so that they can sell them for thousands later, and it works! And it has been working for decades, though it has been taking ridiculous proportions for the last few years. Now, you are probably better off printing trading cards than bank notes.

Show HN: 10x-React-Engineer, Generate Entire React Codebases with Llama 2
Hi HN,

Yesterday I live streamed myself for 6 hours building this from scratch. It’s an AI agent that uses Llama 2 (so far the 13b chat model) to generate a full react codebase from a single prompt. It had a “dev loop” that iterates on your feedback and resolves dependencies.

In the end it kinda worked and I got excited so wanted to post here haha. Long story short a viewer on my discord suggested I build in of these and I just had to look into how these work (inspired by GPT Engineer and AutoGPT)

I wanted to work on a more specific downstream task so I focused on web dev. Llama 2 isn’t the best option for this so I will look into utilizing a chat fine tuned starcoder or fine tune llama 2 myself for better results.

In the end I spend only some compute units testing this 1000 times on a single gpu I had in Colab and has some pretty solid results for iterating in a fairly short amount of time. Going to build upon this more in the coming weeks (clean the code…).

Let me know what you think!

He's a gambler and gambler be gambling. At the beginning of that interview with Tyler Cowen, he's asked what makes him better. He doesn't sound like he knows, but he doesn't want to acknowledge luck. Instead he speaks like someone who can see patterns in entropy. I think at one point SBF started believing in his own legend and thought that he's actually doing something special that sets him apart. He can read the language of chance. The way that an addict tries to repeat the exact routine of the day that led to a past big win, before his next gambling spree, thinking that "surely, spilling a bit of maple syrup in my coffee that morning had something to do with it".

Be interesting to know if Sony et al are selling these songs (as MP3s, rather than 78s, I'd assume) and if so how much they make. That would presumably be used to judge the actual commercial value. And this would only apply to the songs which are still in copyright - sadly not zero given they're all by definition at least 70 years old.

Because they thought their business model was so amazing that everyone would copy it, and thus they wanted to build and maintain a first mover advantage. They overestimated how much competition they would face and underestimated the logistical challenges of their model.
We have one Elm project at work, and frankly it is a nightmare because no one wants to take those tickets and everyone avoids it like it is radioactive. Personally I have had to do quite a few of them and every time I find it worse compared to React, people just seem to hate it and it is very difficult to find people who want to work with it, so that project is now being rewritten in, guess what, react.

Wholeheartedly disagree.

Advancements to CSS have made front-end way more reasonably than they were in the 90s. Stuff that took weeks to figure out with tables can now be done so quickly with `display: flex` and the whole grid system. It's beautiful.

If we had `display: flex back` in 1998 I probably wouldn't have stuck with FE rather than dive into the backend.
I have literally no idea what you're doing with ChatGPT. Like what can it do right now except generate spam.
A number of submissions lately have "simplified" and presented every character as a token. This has only confused many readers.

LLMs use a vocabulary of statistically chosen tokens. GPT 3 vocab, for instance, splits Sacramento into three tokens-

Sac - 38318

rament - 15141

o - 78

There is a rule of thumb that about every four letters in English text becomes a token but that's just the average.

California is a single token (25284). As is Canada (17940). And so on.

For anyone wondering about the verb to St. Petersburg paradox:

The game is a simple 50/50 for a win or loss. You begin with one unit (say: $1). Every round you don't lose the stake doubles. The game terminates if you lose. How much should you pay (expected value) to enter such game?
Given the bank - offering you the gamble - has infinite resources the expected value is infinite.

Well of course one way [0] (another more nuanced way is to question the simple axiom of maximizing the expected value [1]) to resolve the paradox is to limit the resources realistically, analogous to Martingale [2].

Given the world's GDP at ~ $100 trillion (or about N ~ 46 rounds) the expected value (beginning with $1) would be only about $(N+1)/2 so in this case $23,5.

This example doesn't resemble anything someone would actually write though.

There's no reason to reset before setting data again, and I'm not sure why you'd even consider putting the functions in the dependency array for the useEffect in usePets.

I can imagine reasons you'd want to setData in a useEffect (maybe when something else changes, or the user performs some interaction, you fetch new data and then set it), but the dependency would be the thing that indicates that action has happened, and not a reset function returned by a custom hook coupled with your data and setter function.

What size of project and what pain points made it "expensive" in your opinion?

Because, admittedly I only have a view of react of having used it to enhance a server rendered (PHP/twig) page with rich interactions (Making a UI widget/gizmo that lets the user manipulate the data easily before form submission etc).

On the one "full app" that's an offline React PWA, our only real pain point has been the report section, because the report structure is dynamic (controlled by a config from the server) and recursive which made ensuring the correct components are shown and having performant state management challenging.
Yes! But packet fragmentation?
So what? I have been through some big company mergers -- the absorbed (or should I say assimilated) company managers would immediately start enforcing the larger company's stereotype policies, out of self-censorship... because they guessed, often correctly, that the writing was on the wall. E.g. managers would start firing to make their units appear to be more profitable, or remove work-from-home policies, etc. way before the merger was completed, in an effort to avoid being the first units to get the axe by the new parent.
I installed koreader on my remarkable2, and it's now easily the best reading experience for manga and textbooks that I know of. I just swipe on the side of the screen once to switch back and forth, it's _so_ great.

There's no problem with that setup for standard books too, I just usually prefer a smaller/crappier ereader (ideally also with koreader) for that type of reading.
