It's been about 10 years since I used my surface pro at uni. The main problems that I remember were

1) top heavy, because all the hardware is on the screen portion, so it's difficult to balance and use it on your lap

2) lack of processing power due to the form factor and thermal limitations

3) lack of touch friendly windows apps that can make it truly useful as a tablet

1 probably can't be helped, but 2 and 3 should definitely be better now especially since Apple silicon and iOS exist, if they choose to make something like this...
I think you should be able to read a 9 page paper. But here is a summary: https://ratfactor.com/papers/naur1.
On the other end of the spectrum of that argument: “we hire white people only”

I’m sure you can see this can become a problem.

EDIT: why the downvote? You are either for total freedom (including that one) or against (so then you need to draw a line). What’s it gonna be?
It's not that bad. I make roughly €80k in the Netherlands as a medior ethical hacker.

I pay 33% in taxes on that income. But that 33% includes healthcare, retirement, school, university, etc... I'm currently enjoying 20 weeks paid time off this year to spend with my newborn. Also I only work 4 days a week, on top of the 5 weeks holiday every year.

I'm sure some devs in the US could also set this up for themselves and still come out on top, but in the Netherlands everyone gets this (not the 80k, but the society benefits). Which is worth something, too.

What is there to do except 'wage-slave' like this? We're just born here and make the best of it. :)

Plus you have to take into account that the difference is much smaller when accounting for PPP. Still you won't hear me complain to get all this AND a US salary, perhaps something remote in the future.
What? Change the password on your github account to something you can remember (grand mothers full name) and log out on your phone. Done..
Would work for google docs too.
But the human genome is only 3 gigabytes and the vast majority of that is unlikely to be encoding brain structure.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to communicate here. If this is the requirement for the type of business someone ones, it's expected they are following the law, and corrected when they are not. Ignorance might grant some clemency, but you still need to follow it.

My above post is not commenting on the validity of the regulations surrounding ITAR, SpaceX, etc, it was responding to the implication that this effort was politically motivated when it clearly was not.

I don't know how many other companies the governmental department was checking, and it's not really relevant, just like the naughty things other kids may or may not have done when you're explaining why it's not correct to punch another kid just because they didn't share their toys.

"It's hard" isn't really an excuse; other industries are held to pretty strict regulatory standards (the entire medical industry for example) and while there are violations and it's a lot of work to validate that a hospital and the doctors and nurses are meeting these requirements, they do it. There are times hospitals need to be corrected, but they still do it. Same with the legal field, same with engineering fields, etc.

So I'm not sure what exactly is meaning to be communicated here; especially with a company like SpaceX, I expect they should be able to follow the regulations and check their applicants appropriately, not just decide "it's too much work" and deny legitimate and legal candidates a chance for employment.
Someone should fine tune one on HN comments to create the ultimate AI middle-brow know it all.

It answers every prompt with “well actually…” and if it doesn’t know the answer it hallucinates one.
Pretty reasonable, I suggest you mention something along these lines to avoid further misconceptions
Do the poka-yoke: building error proof software
I’m concerned about the life priorities of such people.
I think it just highlights the utility of finetuning.

This is something big tech can still offer with proprietary models.
In germany you can be a cashier and be healthy, have a good work life balance, etc. its not all about software devs
So? Doesn’t mean that the moment we are using it, the format isn’t broken. I didn’t say that it wouldn’t be fixed in the future. The reality is, the current 4 bit GGUF are giving us subpar results compared to other quantization method. It’s not a helpful comment telling me that “I don’t understand the basic” rather than telling me the exact flags we should using or it’s being fixed.
This — and the related take from DaringFireball — is getting traction, but it’s presenting as a general case something that is really specific to, well, HN types, or full time bloggers, or similar: that some of the tasks you do are better suited to a Mac than an iPad. The difference is that users like this are the minority.

Most people’s computing life is Office-style docs, emails, browsing, and social media. The iPad is great at doing those things.

If your default mode of computing insists on having a host of windows open that you, after years or decades of experience, can fly through like a hacker god in a movie, then yeah, you may find the experience limiting. That’s when you start wondering if it’s worth the trade offs.

For me personally? Yeah, on short personal trips, I go with the iPad alone. I can do everything I need to do personally with it, and if I need to reach out and do some work tasks, it’s still possible. (Not for nothing, my photo workflow now runs through the iPad first, which further enables no-laptop vacation travel.)

What do I get for making the tradeoff? I carry a far cheaper and lighter device with better battery life, and one which is also better suited to reading or video consumption (IMO) than a full laptop.

Am I misunderstanding this or do they mean "NotAfter"?
Thanks, now I’m concerned about the Swiss population too. They are already collecting wealth so much in their OP position on the map and they are too cheap to take more holidays?
Kindle Fire excepted; loads of those in the hands of kids all over.
ScreenToGif has a very nice editor that can make cinemagraphs, remove duplicate frames, etc.

ffmpeg can make gifs, but I don't know how you would do stuff like static regions. It could probably be done with some masking and filtering, but I think you would need to make the mask separately so why not use a GUI gif editor instead?

I hate the word CRM because it means different things for different people. It can be:
- Sales Pipeline Software
- Customer Service
- Marketing campaign automation software (owned media)
- Centralized Customer Database

If i ask 4 people what CRM is I might get 4 different answers
The iPad only travel dream is a reality now, just not with apple hardware.

Get a Lenovo yoga 7i for $500 (iPad price) and you have a fully capable multi Linux machine (via WSL) which is also a fully featured touchscreen tablet. Uses the same little USB charger as your phone.
Tips to Improve Programming Skill and Become a Better Programmer
The point is Elon didn't risk his own money as is oft dramatized. In fact they were mostly spreadsheets and PowerPoints to obtain that money which could then be used for build out.
The author appears to be a left wing activist/artist. I think the video was quite specifically chosen as something they enjoy watching.
A non written rule that most software follow is: if something changes when you hover over an item (usually meaning "select"), you only need one click to act on it. If nothing changes, you need to double click (because a single click will probably select).
There are exceptions of course, but you'll realize that most software works like this, and those who don't are the ones users have more trouble adapting.
just out of curiosity, how performed the candidates on real tasks on the job then?
yt-dlp is not dependent on youtube-dl. yt-dlp is simply a fork of youtube-dl that happened some years ago due to the maintainer of youtube-dl refusing any updates that would break compatibility with python 2. yt-dlp has since been the most active youtube downloader repo on github with pretty much daily commits and instant fixes when changes to youtube happen.
Except it doesn't. They even mention in the same Tweet that their own test showed 82 percent for GPT-4.

But if CodeLlama can make that claim then I guess it's fair for WizardCoder to say it also.

Wherever the old number is coming from.shouod be updated.
The specialist waiting times are a pain, yeah, but its free. If I break my leg in an accident, need to go to hospital by ambulance or heli, get my leg fixed, followed by rehabilitation, thats also free, except for having to pay a maximum of 5€ on meds you are prescribed when you buy them.

Strong social system just means that whatever happens to you, you can live in a home and eat food, as long as you try to get government benefits of some kind. Or for example, as a student, your costs of living are covered by Bafög, which is a kind of loan you pack back 50% of.
Not sure why you're downvoted. Apple led the charge on a fully usb-c ecosystem. There are billions of lightening devices out there, so Apple has been transitioning over multiple years. The charger side went usb-c awhile back. Now most users should have usb-c chargers, and likely a few usb-c cables. When the iPhone changes this year or next, it won't be a big deal. People forget when Apple went from the 30-pin to lightening there were a lot of complaints. This though, Apple can point to the EU and say 'they made us', even though they have been headed this way all along.
That's a fair point.

But as a worker, do I care where companies have their headquarters? All major tech companies have offices in Europe anyway
If you don't want to use drugs, then don't use them. Leave the rest of us alone.
You can still serve ads without tracking, collecting enormous amounts of data etc.

"Legitimate interest" is there to cover areas that are too numerous to cover in a law. E.g. combating fraud is a legitimate activity, and it requires more data than you strictly need to operate your business.

However, as with all things, companies will try and exploit any and all loopholes possible.
> yt-dlp uses youtube-dl as a core, so if something breaks still needs to go to the youtube-dl and fix it.

No, they don't. yt-dlp is a fork - if something break, they can just fix it in their own codebase without needing to go through yt-dl. yt-dl is still somewhat active, but almost all their commits are backports of fixes from yt-dlp[0].

.... and they still forgot the technical plane: interop of big tech with small tech: noscript/basic (x)html browsers, IRC(TLS or not) bridges, email, etc.
I bought a used iPad 7 for ~$200 the other day, main reason being reading textbooks at a retail store where I work. What I found surprisngly enjoyable is what the parent mentions - reading HN threads, twitter, blogs. Even watching youtube is a different experience. All of those activities just feel easier and more relaxed than they do on my 14” Thinkpad or iPhone 12.

Have you tried reading content on the web on the kindle, as the ones I mention above?

They're the same, but the latter is more complex (hah!) for no real (haha!) benefit.

When you consider problems in real geometry, this is plausible. But on the other hand, not all mathematics is real geometry. For some applications in mathematics, the complex-geometric perspective is more natural.

P.S. Of course p-adic (and in particular 2-adic) geometry is even cooler than anything real or complex ... ;-)
Parchment paper is typically full of PFAS.

way worse than PLA.
The rich wouldn’t be rich without poorer people. Also I’m a bit dubious about your statement, it goes against what I can quickly search for but I would gladly be proven wrong.
The example is not a poka yoke.

A poka yoke is an implement that prevents or calls attention to an error state. It's shaping objects so that they can only be inserted a certain way, it's a flexible barrier that bumps against tall vehicles before they hit the tunnel entrance.

An enum is not that, I think.
If WordPress has an IPO, its shares can be bought because it has guaranteed that it will survive for 100 years.
This feature was surprisingly hard to find, but you can wrap multi line in “””. So start off with “””, then type or new line (with enter) anything you want, then close with “”” and it’ll run the whole prompt. (“”” is 3 parenthesis quote, the formatting from HN is making it look funny)
Same here, they are not even luxury anymore as it was viewed in many parts of the world in the past, my current phone was more expensive than highest iphone at the same time. I can do what the fuck I want with it. Its full fledged computer with tremendous power for most real tasks, and I don't need to hack it to fully use it.

I admire the sheer time and resources poured in perfecting the Apple experience, it has been its trademark since original ipods. But the way they set up relation between customer and provider is so unequal and outright disrespectful, I'll never buy their product.

Don't treat me like an incompetent idiot and we can start talking.
The tragedy is - why do the young care about technology? Look like they have to find some meaning in their un-fulfilling lives.
On learning that one of the first pieces of electronic music was by an African
There was that, but if only that, it wouldn't have blown up like it did. They intentionally released it early so they could get more people testing it. They didn't label it as a test, and when called out, they had an unpleasant attitude about ungrateful users. There was also a (perceived) push to kill off KDE 3. For most of us, it wasn't important enough to get involved in a drama, so we went elsewhere and lived happily ever after.
Absolutely, the amount of yarns I regularly spin to taxi drivers would bankrupt the credulous.

So, the US is still alowing DUV photolitographer, and the EUV-High NA?
I believe the deal here was very unusual--not unless they had someone with government power directly pulling big strings. In this case Griffin.
What if the target market for your specific content is 10k people? And they are spread out geographically?

Let's say you develop a new product/service aimed at a thin slice of the population - say, dentists in Chicago, or 19 y.o. females across the US, or beginner coders, or people with older dogs in the state of Utah.

How do you reach these people?

Not through a national/regional ad campaign - your ad budget is likely $10-$100/day. This is why we all need targeted ads.
They had such a standard called Do Not Track. It was used by the ad industry to track users. So Do Not Track was removed.

So why would companies who don't give two shits about user privacy bother with any implementation or standards? The law already tells them to provide a yes/no option, and yet here we are.
How is it in China really? I find it hard to get a real source of information about whats going on there? Most articles I've read is somewhat sided or somehow funded by the west which shrinks my trust.

Like, do they really have mass surveillance?
Is it true about the social credit score?
What do the people there think about CCP, any general consensus?
Do the government censor information? Like are people free to talk about Tiananmen square (1989) there?
Is is true about the harsh conditions against the muslims in xinjiang?
Agreed just normalization of build systems is a big part of the hassle.

And when the tooling needs to be flexible to accommodate every snowflake project layout, it increases its complexity.
My ideal mobile computer would be something like the GPD MicroPC, but with mobile broadband, a camera, and a bit bigger battery. Hell, if it had the ability to do proper phone things, it could legitimately make a decent mobile phone replacement: it doesn't really need to be spectacular. The keyboard is small, but in situations where a laptop dock is a possible answer, it's pretty damn good. In other situations, having a dedicated laptop would be ideal, of course... But I've been experimenting with ditching smartphones and alternative phone options, and I gotta say, the MicroPC really feels like it's as close to the ideal general purpose mobile computer as I've ever gotten, so the desire to have something like it that really could just replace any other mobile device is strong.

Unfortunately though, as of today, we're really no closer. For some insane reason, most computers that can do mobile broadband cannot do calling or SMS, at least not in any obvious way. The PinePhone Pro offers a potential story, giving you effectively Linux but on a touchscreen, but many of the OS options for it do not handle suspend well enough; and the RK3399S is not exactly about to blow anybody's mind with its performance. And of course, with no keyboard, you'll need to dock it to do any kind of "productivity" work.

With how fast flagship phones are, dockable smartphones that can just provide a full desktop OS experience when plugged in should be commonplace, but they're not. Some vendors have shown off different compelling ideas, but nothing is quite fully baked.

As for the iPad... It's still kind of a toy. I like it for drawing, the Apple Pencil is nice, but I struggle strongly to put it in the same class as a general purpose computer.

Also, one last note. I really regret the iPhone. It was a really important device, because it showed off how to design a mobile device with a capacitive touch screen that was actually nice to use. But I wish not everyone would just chase the iPhone, as there is plenty that could be done in the mobile computer space that would be compelling if everything was not a buttonless, thin slab of touch-sensitive glass.
Is it ethical to buy a domain name for a newborn baby? I don't know.
50 years ago there was no internet, no mobile phones.
50 years ago there were vinyls and mag tapes and incandescent bulbs.

WordPress 100 years plan sounds like FM radio 100 years plan. Nice to read. But can that be useful?
In Austria AFAIK one can get fired without cause, but if I'm reading this correctly, there doesn't seem to be a massive difference in unemployment against the EU baseline. (Am I reading this right?)
Hadn't thought of that, good point
I can buy anything for a newborn. Also a domain or a phone number.
It’s utterly malicious on the part of the government. Note the only complainant on the lawsuit is the Justice department, who have standing as part of the law. No one harmed individual is suing SpaceX.

The idea that SpaceX is pursuing some invidious scheme of anti-immigrant discrimination is ludicrous. If you read the complaint, every incident DOJ cites really appears to be a good faith attempt to comply with ITAR rules.
Why not just use the designated `findmnt` command from util-linux for the majority of this?
Kind of like Hashicorp has done so far for everyone non-corporate.
Come close to solving the toy problem of autonomous driving first, we're still waiting.
$38,000 seemed like a bit much, but that works out to $31.66 a month. Still more than a typical hosting plan, but I guess the assumption is that hosting won’t be so cheap in 50 years.
Yeah... But spaceX does have to face the consequences if one of them ends up being a foreign intelligence asset. Seems like a reasonable precaution to me considering the stakes.

Besides, they have the largest applicant pool of any company in the country. It's completely reasonable to believe this is purely a consequence of meritocracy and not even a conscious choice.
Why not launch new things using the X domain/brand, instead of twitter.com?
Well, 7B ≪ 34B.
I can buy it too, but I wonder if there will be negative parts...
Gotta love the discussions on HN about Apple, it doesn't take long till somebody starts arguing that less is better and you don't actually know what you really want and what's the best for you, on Hacker news

I guess some people like to be managed and set strict boundaries, but that's a far cry from creativity. If creativity happens, as it always does, its despite these hard limits
It "works" in the sense that it doesn't 404, but says "Our service has been discontinued as of February 26, 2023.".
Funny coming from a CMS that breaks every time you update it or update the underlying PHP version.
When Apple implemented "Ask app to not track", the click through on "Ask to not track" was 90%.

People care about this, so no wonders the industry as a whole is up in arms about it.
There are plenty of countries who have not signed on to the UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, including the US. So, yes, you can be left stateless by the US revoking your citizenship. However, pretty much only treason or voluntary renouncement could potentially lead to such a situation, and treason hasn't been charged in the US since the immediate aftermath of WWII.
This is a fork of https://github.com/karpathy/llama2.c

karpathy's llama2.c is like llama.cpp but it is written in C and the python training code is available in that same repo. llama2.c's goal is to be a elegant single file C implementation of the inference and an elegant python implementation for training.

His goal is for people to understand how llama 2 and LLM's work, so he keeps it simple and sweet. As the project progresses, so will features and performance improvements added.

Currently it can infer baby (small) Story models trained by Karpathy at a fast pace. It can also infer Meta LLAMA 2 7b models, but at a very slow rate such as 1 token per second.

So currently this can be used for learning or as a tech preview.

Our friendly fork tries to make it portable, performant and more usable (bells and whistles) over time. Since we mirror upstream closely, the inference capabilities of our fork is similar but slightly faster if compiled with acceleration. What we try to do different is that we try to make this bootable (not there yet) and portable. Right now you can get binary portablity - use the same run.com on any x86_64 machine running on any OS, it will work (possible due to cosmopolitan toolchain). The other part that works is unikernels - boot this as unikernel in VM's (possible due unikraft unikernel & toolchain).

See our fork currently as a release early and release often toy tech demo. We plan to build it out into a useful product.
I always wondered how I can keep the content I write on the web after death. I suppose the cheapest way is to save the entire content on archive.org (and donate to it!)
US allows to ASML the export machines only above 14nm if I remember correctly, anyway not the high end machines.
As a last resort, you could subscribe to YouTube Premium, which allows you to download the content.

I don't mind paying for ad-free content.
Dunno, I've met several senior engineers whom I would consider highly skilled and while they were well off, it didn't look like they are multi-millionaires. Also, given the trend of firing senior engineers and hiring only juniors lately, I wouldn't count on that trend continuing.

In theory this just lets them achieve equal power to employers who they are canonically opposed to, and is therefore a good thing.
Ask HN: What people say vs. what people mean, in life, at work
I have come to realize we live in a world of euphemisms, of keeping appearances.

What are some things people say that usually mean something else?
