It's better in exactly one way: you understand upfront what your internet is going to cost.

The same argument goes for including the sale tax or many gas taxes in the displayed price, (or displaying the price including VAT in EU).

FTR, I do get that by listing the tax explicitly you get to appreciate your local tax is lower than your neighbor's or get annoyed that it's higher (and then vote to change that).

My internet provider in Poland offered me the internet service for 60PLN/mo. Guess how much I'm paying for it? 60PLN/mo. They obviously pay many taxes and fees to different organizations but I don't need to care about it.
I remember being told something about how the pane of glass of a windscreen/display/etc has an interesting psychological effect on humans, where sort of dissociates us from the reality of the moment.

I don’t know the extent, or how true it is in reality, but from my experience as a cyclist, dealing with drivers, I’d definitely believe it. Get someone out of the car and you can watch the patina of confidence and self-righteousness slide off in real time.
I'd recommend Infrastructure: A Guide to the Industrial Landscape by Brian Hayes http://industrial-landscape.com/

It covers everything from railroad tracks, antenna towers, highway overpasses, power lines, grain elevators, oil refineries, steel mills, and more… Lots of great pictures and detailed explanations.

And I also bought "Open Circuits" and find it to be both beautiful and illuminating.

Well, that map tweet has now been deleted, and the guy posted this:

>> I would like to make an apology to the small body community. Some information was shared with me on an internal company message board that I did not have full perspective on and I posted a tweet, which I now understand was not appropriate. It was preliminary data and I did not have full perspective on it.

Does that sound like everything's gonna be okay?
But it does not require us to do it now.

And we won’t stop emission today or even by 2070 at this rate. Again these units will barely suck out more CO2 than the electricity that powers them (in the best case) would displace.

And if you really wish to build them now, they should be build at the expense of the fossil fuel companies, who have known for decades that they were pollution and actively hide the fact and worked to discredit those who wanted them to stop.
Yeah, I'm currently working for a project that rewrote their whole platform from Vue to React simply because they couldn't find enough Vue devs.
NCTA proposed informing customers of the maximum amount of pass-through fees/taxes from governments customers might face, to avoid the "sticker shock" problem with bills.
Cyclist in Czech and Slovak republic are much more often assholes than the drivers. There is a very large group thought not a majority of cyclist who blatantly disobey traffic laws and are completely arogant (they are saving the planet of course! they don't have time to even slow down before pedestrain crossings, use sidewalks when they feel like even thought is strictly forbidden and never ever use bike lines even in situations where law absolutely requires them to and even when it is wide and of a same quality as a road nearby, often use pedestraian crossing themselfs even thought it is strictly forbidden for a mounted/riding cyclist just to kinda have a right of way when they would otherwise have to yield on normal road before turning (pedestrains DO have a right of way before cars on zebra crossings without lights)) and some of them out outright agressive and physically dangerous (maybe because they are pumped with hormones and adrenaline?). There was a quite recent case where a male cyclist (before his own kids and wife!) brutally broke a pedestrian's jaw because the pedestrain notified him that they are illegaly cycling on a sidewalk and they the cycling family disappeared. Police's detective work lead to his apprehension months later.
Google Meet performance is pretty much up there for me these days. It's very rare that quality degrades for any of the use cases you described. Maybe it's gotten better, who knows.
About the RAM. I doubt they wanted to do that, since basic gpu function is to render a frame in as little ms as possible. Currently VRAM is latency optimized on consumer gpus and all memory chips are an inch away from the gpu. Light only travels as far in the gigahertz realm. Thats why they started mounting vram chips on both sides of the board, cause there was no more place left on the first side.

Just checked: light travels 30cm in one nanosecond. So if the gpu is running at 4GHz it goes only 7.5 cm.
'Free...' as in '...beer' (Gratis)
Some people use it but it's mostly parlor tricks. And given the codebase, I don't really see how it would even double your productivity.
How much does something like this cost?
Sure, but they are paying those fees in exchange for the incredibly valuable privilege of (usually) an exclusive monopoly on broadband in an entire city.

This was the contract they accepted when they eagerly signed such a deal, because the last thing those companies want is to have a bunch of little fiber outfits going around wiring up all the richest and easiest-to-deploy neighborhoods with quality fiber internet service. Or -- g-d forbid -- municipalities cutting them out and laying fiber themselves. Their franchise fee protects them from either of those horrors.

Pretending they're the victim for covering the costs they agreed to, and then acting like consumers are being unreasonable when we don't pay what was forced on us by our one choice of ISP is the boldest hypocrite move I've heard of yet from telcos.
They'll probably write fanfic and some Harry Potter ships.
> Kinda of crazy, my first computer had a million times less ram than this.

My first computer had a billion times less RAM than this: not even 32 KB (16 KB actually). My everyday computer has 2 million times the RAM of my first computer (16 KB vs 32 GB).

And now we're waiting for the real dinosaurs here to comment!
Civitai.com is the current most popular resource for models. Also ckpt format is discourage for security concerns and saftensors is now used instead.
AGI should have morals, opinions, self-reflection, learn continuously from sensor data, reason, realize when they’re proven wrong and update their model of the world, and be creative. So far LLMs exhibit none of those. But LLMs exhibit a digestible distillation of a very large body of data which may be a component of an AGI.

But you can have an AGI that doesn’t have encyclopedic knowledge but it’s still highly intelligent, so I don’t think LLMs have to be an intrinsic component.
Bill Gates knew how to do that and he dropped out not even halfway into his undergrad.
> In the US you do not have the right to walk or bicycle on an interstate freeway. Not even in the shoulder or outside of the lane.

This depends on the state, e.g. in Montana you can legally ride on all interstates. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-motorized_access_on_free...
Isn't sign language less efficient than typing? Are there conditions where you are on a video call with a keyboard in front of you, where you prefer to use sign language over typing? Or is the use case when you're away from a keyboard? Would it help to have text-to-speech built into the video software?
when you think you have a good story to tell you will make it work no matter what.

Epic poems like The Iliad or Baghavad Ghita or the bible are not immaculately retold from scratch but depend heavily on repetition and context cues.

Code is the same.
> - Pay is the legal minimum.

Literally minimum wage?

Low pay in start ups is offset with equity. Equity can end up worthless, but at least gives some justification to low pay.

If you are making min wage and have 0 equity.... you are being taken advantage of. Even if you're junior, you have long since proven yourself 2 years in. It's time to start looking.
>I took it at face value as a good story about animals running a farm.

I think adult 'socialists' ( as opposed to capitalists ) are in that league.

A quote come to mind: “If at age 20 you are not a Communist then you have no heart. If at age 30 you are not a Capitalist then you have no brains.”
> my city spent hundreds of millions rebuilding downtown infrastructure to be cyclist friendly

Not that you probably care, but in most places, investment and growth of cycling results in a net gain for the community and government, both directly and indirectly.

Cycling infrastructure is cheap to put in, cheap to maintain, and has social + health benefits too. The state + city I live in love putting in cycling infra (even if it’s a bit flawed and wonky) because it literally gains money. Road maintenance costs go down, short and long-term health spending decreases because people are healthier.
Jira can’t stop people from using it incorrectly
Franchise agreements usually do not grant exclusivity to providers. And they're not the only fees we're talking about; counties, states, and the federal government apply pass-through taxes to ISP customers as well.

Go look yours up. I just did, to make sure (I have opinions on this weird issue because I'm on my town's governing commission for this stuff --- go join yours too, I've gotten to do all sorts of cool stuff that I wouldn't have predicted from the nerdy charter of the commission --- and after 18 months of falling asleep every time the topic of the franchise agreement came up, I finally stayed awake and learned we were making a fairly huge amount of money by soaking residents for their ISP connections).
Technically you can do whatever those representatives will vote for. So far, it's mostly been "whatever the lobbyists want" though.
These courses are usually taught by CS departments assuming a CS background. Anyone aware of corresponding courses for people with a physics background?
For sure. I’ve also read about companies now, like consultancies, retaining people despite not having enough work, with the expectation that work will pick up in future. So there are many complicating factors.
Kind of like Google Fi in the mobile service provider space, anyone, even if someone as otherwise bad as Google or Amazon, can potentially disrupt things and improve prices and functionality.
I agree. Cloud infrastructure should be versioned and immutable. If I have an S3 bucket and make 4 changes to it, there should be V0 (making the bucket) and V1-V3 (each subsequent change). I should be able to tell the bucket API to restore the bucket to V2. Terraform is a hack to fill that gap. The AWS bucket service itself should be doing it, not Terraform. Several classes of software that we all maintain ourselves would go away if cloud infra were versioned & immutable.
The primary use case for GPUs in devices, graphics, is not as often memory bound. Even for other general data compute purposes that may not always be the case. It's specifically neural nets that have extremely wide batches of extremely simple operations occurring across extremely large chunks of memory where being memory bound is the default case.
Nothing is more exemplary of Oracle's incompetence than the #1 database company being unable to produce competitive ERP systems that are nothing but databases with front ends.

ERP is also something that should technically be achievable with a large industry-sponsored open source project but it never happens.
> I’m not your research assistant

But apparently they are your research assistant?

You’re the one making a claim. The burden of proof is on you. Claims which are made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Yes, why not, that seems reasonable. Your price is $60 plus up to $20 additional fees.

I think I got an offer like this from Sonic on the Bay Area. They would eat up all fees exceeding the declared maximum. (Or I'm making this up, was in 2018)
> you guys need to first look at the site as it actually is, and not just look at your own pre-existing perceptions.

How can one see the site "as it actually is" when the decisions are kept secret from submitters?

> People think that when their team gets moderated, the mods are OMG obviously on the other side. The Other Side feels exactly the same way.

This will always be a thing. But it's also true that society is more divided now than it was 20 years ago. We find ourselves unable to communicate across ideological divides and we resort to shouting or in some cases violence. Some effort must be made to improve communication, and transparency for content authors is a minimal step towards that.

There is one free Premier League game most Saturdays on NBC over-the-air television in the U.S. and it is something I really appreciate. There are a few sponsored graphics that look like they might be relevant to the U.S. market but almost no commercial breaks.

I hope they can keep doing it because it is a great broadcast, unlike the women's world cup they have British announcers who know something about soccer.
Seriously?

> Several states grant some right for cyclists to travel in lanes with cars, but in practice that's absurd.

So, how do I get to where I need to go?
There have been many studies about what could be done to deal with asteroids that are on track to impact earth and the simple answer is 'nothing'.

The National Academies report that you link to down-thread did not state that nothing can be done. They discuss multiple options, and they discuss which options would be most effective given different amounts of warning lead time. Figure 5.5 (https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/12842/chapter/7#85) is a great high-level view of the option space.

A real message to take away from the "Mitigation" section of that report is that it's important to identify dangerous objects as early as possible.
1. I think nanosecond-scale latency numbers on operations taking dozens to hundreds of ms are probably overkill?

2. Inference is only one aspect of what GPUs are used for. Many other workloads are compute-bound. That being said, given the recent rise of these kinds of open-source, pre-trained large language models, I wouldn't be surprised if future Nvidia product launches offered variants with significantly more VRAM. There would probably be a lot of interest in "3080-equivalent compute, but 48GB VRAM" these days — certainly I would take one over a 4090 with 24GB VRAM. (Then again, that's basically an A6000, and those go for nearly $7k...)
Not that large, I think ocean impact is best case scenario (<1% of kinetic energy transferred).

Land impact would be catastrophic (1x-100x 50 megaton explosion)
> What should they do? I'd advocate AGPL, but xGPL licenses are avoided like a plague, because Free Software is not "closed forks" friendly, and companies hate to open everything like that.

They can offer it under more than one license if they want. I, for one, would be pretty happy if they offered it under both BuSL and AGPL.

- business users who are afraid of copyleft could use Terraform under the terms of the BuSL
- the F/OSS community could distribute it under the terms of the AGPL and freely build on it
- competitors to Hashicorp would have a choice:
+ open their whole stack and compete in the market based on the quality of their services and support alone (admirable but very tough)
+ negotiate and pay HashiCorp to license Terraform under special, proprietary terms

Probably, many of the same companies who want to fork Terraform now would still want to. But I'd be satisfied and it would likely shift the conversation in a way beneficial to Hashicorp's reputation.

>As for physical activity, that's a lifestyle choice and has nothing to do with working in tech.

That's not entirely true. A lot of jobs have some degree of physical activity, be it walking around or lifting things. In tech, employers would be happy to strap me to a chair physically if they could, instead they keep me so busy I might as well be strapped to a chair.

There's the other extreme with roles that require regular heavy lifting and bending over that leads to long term health problems like back issues, say home electricians crawling around or construction workers.

There's a lot of in-between with jobs that have a healthy amount of lifting and moving around. Tech isn't one of those. That means you have to make up for it by exercising on your own time, not during time you're getting paid. Things like extra cardio you might not need otherwise.

The benefit is that since you're so sedentary, you get almost full control over the choice and amount of exercise you want. The one downside is its all on your own time. For me I don't mind it, other than the cardio I have to do I wish I didn't.
The 3% is likely the median of the probability range. You need more observations (and more accurate ones to narrow it further down, but for a first estimate it will do).
Love the idea of this. Is there a feature to support views or linked records from other CSV files?

Basically, my team is curious if there's a smaller, lighter, local-alternative to Airtable, which we can collaborate on with Git. It's a big ask and maybe not on your roadmap, but something that is on our minds.
It's the norm for hybrids and electrics. My 2014 volt doesn't have a spot for a spare, just some expired fix-a-flat and a 12v air compressor.

The point of the curl test was that the X-imposed delay also occurs in curl requests when spoofing a browser...

Meaning, that the delay, which only affects a few specific websites that are either known X competitors or perceived Musk antagonists, is deliberate.
Hey nice, I didn’t know hacker.news even existed. I use bookmarks, browser autocomplete and browser suggestions.

I’m not saying that whoever registered the url has bad intentions, but in the strange times we’re living we should be wary/cautious of redirects.

If I owned hacker.news I would contact dang and let him know about this new url in order to endorse it officially, or even better I would gift it to the HN community ;-)
It could completely depend on what size model your are training the topology, it may not make a difference for you, but for reference-

See here [0] about just the difference between having NV-link between cards or not, and the 23% increase in training speed, and the note that the peak bandwidth between 2x 3090s with the link is a peak of 112.5 GB/sec.

[0]: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.31.0/en/perf_har...

Now look at PCIe 3.0 speeds, which would be what any two cards talking to each other would need to use thru your risers- only 15.754 GB/s on x16 and only 7.877 GB/s if you are on a x8 riser.

For some non-ML things that I use GPU's for (CFD), the interconnect / memory access bandwidth is the bottleneck, and the simulation time literally scales near linearly with the PCIe bandwidth I have between cpu lanes and the cards.
"No, it's the children who are wrong."
Yeah, I recently switched service and prepaid a full year. Not just fewer surprises, but often cheaper.

I still live in a kind of dismayed disbelief at how much money the major cell-phone carriers want for plans they consider normal/budget. This seems to be because they include what is (to me) a crazy amount of cellular data, amounts I'll never use because I don't stream full-length movies on the bus or whatever.

For context, a major local network's "essentials" plan costs $60/month for 50GB of "premium" mobile data and unlimited not-so-premium data. In contrast, a reseller's prepaid plan (on the same infrastructure) comes out to $15/month for 5GB (5G speeds) and a 4gb trickle (LTE) after that.

Since I'm always near Wi-Fi and almost never exceed 2GB/month, it's a no-brainer.

Ask HN: How stressful are high paying engineer roles?
A little pre-amble, I make a good but moderate salary at a company with a great culture. For the most part I don't experience much stress day to day, and don't bring work home with me. I'm much more technically competent than the job requires, and don't find much of what I do hard to complete.

I could see myself getting a bit bored of it down the road, though, and I'm curious about the lived experience of software engineers in high-paying roles. Looking at remote roles across the United States, for example, there are some astronomical salaries available. But I'm wondering to what extent I'd pay for salaries like these in stress, and high pressure environments.

In your estimation is there a correlation between above-average pay and stress? Have you found making a high salary worth it?
A quarter million maybe.
Huh! Thanks for the reference. I think that my perception was based on one of the studies the review mentions that found schizophrenics weren't more violent. Wasn't aware of this other research.
wow thank you so much, I read through the whole article and was finally able to grok monads!
Really? I can guess at what spicy autocomplete might actually mean but I doubt a LLM ... OK ChatGPT did a pretty good job of it (I've just asked it), whilst sidestepping the definition of spicy in this context. It is after all a very good next word guesser, given a context, and its not ... me! I am capable of hallucinating but it was 30 odd years ago since I hunted out certain fungi on Dartmoor, or smoked hemp.

To be fair, we humans do often interrupt each other to second guess a sentence completion. Done correctly it is a brief satisfying collaboration. Done wrong ... I've been married for 18 years and know when to bite my tongue, but I still get it wrong from time to time - sometimes deliberately. Despite that, me and the wiff can autocomplete each other's sentences with uncanny accuracy and end up with perfect harmony or a cough slight disagreement as a result.

We are getting some phenomenal slide rules these days but the darleks are not going to be flying up the stairwell just yet, nor will SkyNet be taking over tomorrow.

That said, you just know that some noddy is trying to sell a nuclear "deterrent" LLM AI thingie somewhere. Thankfully, production military equipment takes quite a while to get to deployment. There is a good chance that we will get to grips with all this stuff before SkyNet is let loose for real 8)

This is not an ISP problem, this is a consumer problem. A simple all industry regulation can fix it. Requiring all advertised prices to always include all taxes, surcharges and mandatory fees. All ambiguity to be interpreted in consumer’s favor. All the cancellation and signups fees, or other additional requirements to get the advertised price must be spelled out in the same font, size or speech speed right next to the price. This is it.

It was a little comical when Biden said he is going to fight ticket fees and then this came: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...

Heck, if only CA, TX and some other medium to large state passed something like this, it would probably push the industries over.
