Fast food in particular is such a weird concept to need an app. But Chick-fil-a's app is so much better than all the others they give the concept hope. Combined with their great service, the app is legitimately faster than a Drive Thru. Can't say the same of McDonalds.
You say that as if it's fair for the government to expect that everyone is fully comfortable with the hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations.
Yeah. The results are impressive and I can't deny the value when ChatGPT is able to get things like this right. But especially given how much disinformation is starting to be spread on the internet these days and how it's all being scraped for training LLMs (and especially in the case of law where different jurisdictions can have very different laws but ChatGPT could easily get its wires crossed), I'm worried that it might lead to more harm than good when people make decisions based on incorrect outputs of LLMs.
Finish #2 first, or else people with access to more money and infrastructure will use LLMs to increase inequality even further.
Well I upgraded to Pro about two days later, so maybe the upgrade did it? But either way, there was absolutely zero indication that the drive is getting encrypted or that it's going to save my recovery key to my Microsoft account.
BitLocker is mostly worthless if you don't also password UEFI, disable booting off any other disk than the main one, and enable SecureBoot.
Silicon Zeroes might be up your alley, though IIRC it starts with logic gates and builds up to more complex logic/computation, it doesn't focus on the electrical engineering side of things.

I wonder if they, intentionally or inadvertently, have optimized for investment scale at the expense of everything else? There is a market demand for "pure" AI startups that can take 9 figure investments. It's (comparatively) "easy" to optimize to be that company, but extremely hard to find a way to live up to the hype and provide a return in the investments, and this strategy often ruins the company.
That's a good question. I don't know enough about the new green threads to give you a definitive answer, but it's certainly something we'll examine closely.
Just based on a cursory examination, you seem to be cherry-picking from your citation and omitting words that appear in that study, like “slightly”, to make it sound as if there was some sort of significant growth of the Antarctic ice sheet since 1979 that is now reverting to some stable state, which is not the case.

Looking at the data itself, Antarctic sea ice extent was pretty stable until the past two years, where it has fallen quite dramatically.[0] I think it is reasonable to express some alarm when you’ve gone from a trend of -0.12% per decade, to 16% below the 30-year average, in two years.

Presumably for the sake of people who blindly upgrade an automated Rust build toolchain and wouldn't be aware that this would be signing them up for potentially-unbounded build times (and therefore potentially-unbounded CI/CD service fees.)

[tl;dr: Serverless provisioning for data is far from a new concept, but it wasn't called "serverless" before serverless compute (functions) appeared. OP probably meant that Aurora was the first serverless SQL database, but even that statement is debatable.]

It probably avoids recognition because it was tied to App Engine, which wasn't serverless by itself, and predated the popularization of the term serverless. I can identify a few other serverless NoSQL databases that predated the serverless hype: Azure Storage Tables and CosmosDB (known as DocumentDB back when it was released in 2014) for one. I haven't used DynamoDB back then, but it seems like it was also serverless from day one[1].

I think the author really wanted to say "Serverless SQL databases are not a new thing. AWS launched Aurora back in 2017 [...]". That might check out if you don't count Cloud Spanner as "true" SQL[2], but I'm wouldn't be surprised if you'd find someone who has implemented a niche SQL database service that wasn't provisioned and kinda supported scaling up as needed.

[1] "Amazon DynamoDB lets you specify the request throughput you want your table to be able to achieve (your table’s “throughput capacity”). Behind the scenes, the service handles the provisioning of resources to achieve the requested throughput rate. Rather than asking you to think about instances, hardware, memory, and other factors that could affect your throughput rate, we simply ask you to provision the throughput level you want to achieve and we handle the rest."

[2] Amazon only launched Aurora on 2018, even though they announced it in late 2018. Cloud Spanner was released a full year before, and Spanner was running internally on Google datacenters, possibly with serverless provisioning, since 2012.
The only one I subtly disagree with is "comments should be substantive". What it discourages I think is comments like "thanks" or other really 'unsubstantive' comments. It's true that maybe it adds noise, and in many cases are maybe supposed to be inferred without explicitly saying. But I think discouraging this slightly leans behaviour towards snark vs not. (If you see comments like "thanks" you're less likely to be snarky than if you see 'substantive' but maybe too harsh critiques in the comments that appear because "cool project!" isn't allowed.)

Personally I like to make it a point to break this rule from time to time to reduce this pattern.
That's fair; I thought maybe the use of the Go GC might make the results a bit more interesting.

This conversation is sort of beside the point. SpaceX doesn't hire any non-ITAR workers, and the DOJ has no problem with that - lots of aerospace companies don't hire non-US persons for regulatory reasons. The allegation is that they excluded asylum seekers and refugees who are U.S. persons

I'd like clarification of whether politics is meant to cover matters of policy or strictly partisan politics and news about the lives of political figures. Surely regulatory policy with regards to technology, communications infrastructure, and similar is of interest.
In Russian, the teens are 1-9 + “надцать” suffix. Which as far as I can understand literally means “a number from 11-19”.

An example would be 12: dve [two] nadset [suffix meaning a number 11-19].

It's called "device encryption" which seems to do the same thing and they allow it for Windows 10 home. It's confusing.
Most internet technologies are currently in a phase change due to a changing regulatory and political environment. That has major implications for the direction of many types of technology discussed here so to that end I think tech policy is a very valid topic for HN.

Now, the horse race of the day, or manufactured moral crisis? Not really what this is for.
Why not both?

Y'all could host models on HF, and use the HF format/download code (which is quite good).

But make a pretty frontend for it.

Down the road you could just host your own backend implementing the HF API, if such a thing is necessary.
It's literally not even how "Sensor fusion" works, even in the most trivial example. As long as most errors are independent per sensor, you can combine them for a more confident result.

It is indeed Tesla marketing that posits otherwise, which is wrong, and Tesla fans eat it up.

IMO the guidelines could use some updates. For example, there are some unwritten conventions that could be formalized:

1) Search for duplicates before you submit a link.

2) If the submission is not from the current year, append (YEAR) at the end of the title.

3) It should be clarified that the guidelines about comments apply to linked article authors too. "Be kind. Don't be snarky." "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work."

4) There's dang's own idiosyncratic, controversial, unwritten exception to "Please submit the original source", i.e., unless it's a corporate PR.

[EDIT:] Three different replies have said to append [pdf] and [video] to submissions, but that's already in the guidelines. "If you submit a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title."

I don't think you get it. Let's say you don't speak, say, Chinese. I make a claim that's in stark disagreement to the general consensus, such as "The Chinese claim their country is an island in the Caribbean north of Jamaica" and then I find a large academic text, in Chinese, and claim that I translated a section of it that supports my argument.

What are you going to do? Learn Chinese, read the text, then come back in 4 years and tell me I'm wrong?

That's what this game is.

You can go and find the quote the OP is using, read the context, and, if you take the time, see it doesn't mean what they claim.

It's asymmetrical and either not done in good faith or not worth engaging in.
You're twisting my words and changing what you claimed.

>my statement that 500 fps is not 5x better than 100 fps to a human

I never said that. I also stated that I know about diminishing returns. You claimed "There’s a good reason to never go above 70fp". There absolutely is a large difference in motion clarity between 70 and something like 120/240/etc. Is the difference from 70->120 as large as 30->60? No, absolutely not. But it is significant and can be seen easily with a cheap monitor.

>You aren’t really addressing what was main point: that fps throughput isn’t the reason for high frame rates in games. The primary reason for this happening is to decrease latency.

>We wouldn’t need 500fps for games if we lowered the latency. Or at the very least, the benefits would be much lower. Reducing latency is a great reason to want high fps, but there are other ways to reduce latency.

While there is a latency improvement and some people care about that, the motion clarity is also significantly improved. (again, just drag some windows around on a 120hz monitor) That's true of movies just as well as games. Movies have pulled a lot of tricks to mask this issue over the years, but 60 is quickly becoming the standard over 30. (And once bandwidth and processing improves, it's likely some day decades from now it will jump even higher)

>You replied to the wrong comment, btw. I almost didn’t catch your reply.

Yeah, not sure how that happened.
I’ve long had a suspicion that these vulnerabilities get discovered when china/russia/etc find them and start exploiting them.
McKinsey is talking about developer productivity and thats a good-thing
I find that these conversations are almost always backwards, as "is X alive" actually handled as "should we consider X as alive".

That is we are not trying to discover whether a thing is alive or not, we are trying to decide what Alive means.

This confusion creates the illusion that terms like Life, consciousness, emotions, reflexes, etc. are well defined while they in practice are not.
What? This is a routine sort of H.R. lawsuit because SpaceX had incorrectly excluded some people who could work there under U.S. export control
It was never debunked. Like a lot of stuff in climate climatologists simply referred back to their own totally corrupted data and then asserted there was no problem.

You link to BEST, but BEST is a good example of their strategy. BEST's list of "very rural" weather stations include weather stations in the middle of international airports and cities. Climatologists don't collect their own data, they just scrape stuff from the internet and whatever other random datasets they can OCR so their data is often GIGO.

Obviously if you classify weather stations as rural when they're not, you will conclude UHI isn't important, but this just means you're bad at science, not that the effect doesn't exist. Anyone who has ever driven through a city into the countryside knows that UHI exists and has a significant effect.

https://climateaudit.org/2011/12/20/berkeley-very-rural-data...

The Berkeley classification in Thailand also looks very suspect. As in Peru, many of the “very rural” sites are small cities. Some locations look suspicious. “Bangkok Pilot” is shown as “very rural”, but when googled is associated with Suvarnabhumi, the name of the very urban Bangkok airport (data is sparse, so it may be something else, but anything associated in any way with Bangkok can hardly be “very rural”)

This isn't the only example either. They loooooove to pretend that weather stations sited right next to jet aircraft engines reflect the temperature in the nearest tiny village.
I've always had a hard time finding truly complex and well designed react UI code to look at.

It would be trivial for Microsoft to strictly enforce their CPU "requirements" on install. They've chosen not to.

The workaround for that isn't some weird hack, it's an explicit registry value that they made.
Yes, but it also discourages "cool story bro", "ok boomer", "no cap" etc
I understand why but I don’t like how people are individually rate limited silently without their knowledge. It is certainly immoral

EDIT: unfortunately I cannot defend my point in the comments, as I am now rate limited :)

EDIT 2: /u/Dylan16807 yes I'm seeing that. When I try and post it says "you are posting too quickly, please slow down"
Indeed no pitchforks, but I can see where some concern has come from. On the release of Windows 11 it was stated that only newer Intel and AMD generations were to be officially supported and while workarounds are built in (literally a registry flag in the installer) to install on even a Pentium 4 [1], they came with a warning from Microsoft that installations in such environments "may not receive updates".

Is it therefore possible that this bug check is being implemented as part of the journey towards actually dropping "support" for these CPUs?

Indeed, it's a preview release, and the Insider program is amazing for getting insight into Windows development and it shouldn't be held up to the same level of journalistic scrutiny as a sanctioned general release, but I can absolutely see why this particular change may have raised some eyebrows.

Doesn't it bother you to describe humanity as a plague? The overall point is fine but these are people you're talking about, and NOT bacteria. It's just so anti-human to think of people that way. Souls. But a plague on the Earth, I guess.

All the cells that can form spontaneously without biology are dead.

More precisely, they are just cell membranes, not cells. Cell membranes form spontaneously from many fatty substances, the root cause being that oil and water do not mix, i.e. fatty substances are hydrophobic.

A dead cell or cell membrane does not exchange chemical substances with the environment (except passively, i.e. when molecules or ions diffuse from high concentration towards low concentration).

A living cell has not only a cell membrane that separates the interior from the exterior, but it also has molecular pumps and ionic pumps embedded in the membrane, which selectively pump some substances in and other substances out. Without this controlled exchange between interior and exterior, the growth and multiplication that define life are impossible.

What is characteristic for life are the molecular pumps and ionic pumps. The cell membranes have only the passive role of preventing the substances that have been pumped in one direction to come back to the place from where they had been taken by the pump.
Maybe not money laundering but often there are organized groups of dealers who combine to pump up a specific artist, and dump their inventory.

Buy up works. Easier if the artist is not alive.

Start placing articles, puff pieces on the artist.

Interest increases, prices rise, sell off inventory.

When inventory gone, end the PR blitz.
Are there a large number of rocket scientists and/or communications experts in the asylum/refugee pool applying at Space-X? I'm not intending to be snarky, but my guess is the relative pool may not be that large. Of course there are lower-level jobs (janitorial, catering, etc) that may not require the same kinds of clearance.

All said, I can understand the mistake in terms of interpretation of the regulation.
> My guess is that a lot of people are using the crappy Home edition.

What makes Home crappy? Other than the account thing, obviously. You can't join a domain with it either, but then most people don't have a domain at home. There's some other disabled features, like Hyper-V, but why should people have to pay for a higher tier Windows to use a local account if they don't need the other features?
I've never seen good code, but if it exists I am sure it'd be a lisp.
Finance of course. If you're born into that class, then go for it. If you're not, you gotta work first, then if you're lucky and diligent you have a shot at moving up into it later in life. Most average folks of average background can't just decide to be a big finance person on Wall Street. You gotta know people, you know, cronies, cronie capitalism, but it's not just limited to political ties, it's nepotism, etc.
> Because non-greedy online planning can be slow, offline planning can be used to generate a policy that maps any state to the best action to take. The resulting policy can be run very fast at execution time; no matter what state the agent ends up in after executing an action, the next action to execute is available as quickly as π can be queried.

The article claims this is insufficient for AGI, but to me it sounds a lot like Kahneman's distinction between fast and slow thinking. Slow thinking is the offline planning, the trained network does the fast thinking. If humans work that way, then a human-level AGI probably can too.

I'm not convinced this will receive popular support, it is too obviously stupid.
In the market of ideas you’re failing, and that’s the signal you’re getting.

It sounds like you don’t care to adjust to “the crowd”, which is fine, but then you have to deal with the consequences.
AFAIK (I saw dang state this a few times in his comments) it is fine to submit duplicates to HN assuming enough time has passed (a year?). He'll even reach into the second change pool and re-submit submissions that did not gain much traction the first time around, I think. So I think your first rule isn't really something that is much enforced on HN. (Which I think is a good thing.)
You can play a role. Depending on your points level, you can go to "new" and flag political posts.
There's a few good options here already. I've used continue.dev with local models and seen some decent results.
Haha, yeah, it's a hack we figured out the hard way, but it is super simple and effective.
I too have read the relevant ITAR policies and no where in them does it say you cannot hire non-citizens if your company is engaged in ITAR compliance. As said somewhere else in the comments, if your organization does not have robust systems to segregate employee access based on ITAR status, clearance level, project membership, or any other need-to-know reason, then not hiring US citizens is the least of your concerns.

The real challenge with AutoML isn't just the pipeline creation, but ensuring that the models generalize well to unseen data and real-world scenarios. Your project here is neat and I appreciate that it includes support for preprocessing and model explanations as these are often overlooked.

I wonder though about the robustness and reliability of the models it generates. automl, in its essence, risks overfitting or underfitting if not carefully managed, and introduces a layer of indirection that can make debugging far more difficult. how does this project avoid those pitfalls?

It would be interesting to see how your tool performs in diverse datasets and how resilient the models are against drift over time. nevertheless, it's always good to see new takes on AutoML. keep probing the space and refining your approach
> Otherwise, why use one chip when you can use none?

Because you're actually designing a hardware product to sell.
I haven't tried Dropbox or Github or Syncthing like others have suggested but having tried Obsidian Sync I'm not as impressed as everyone else seems to be. Maybe I need to set my bar lower but especially on my phone, background sync doesn't work well and it usually takes a few seconds to load and a few more seconds to sync the data which feels like ages considering all the data required to load it is already on my phone and the diff is a few paragraphs at most.
