Right, a sort of generational divide. Old people (like me) looking for how-to information go to youtube; young(er) people go to tiktok. Tiktok is 100% blocked from my system but from what i've seen leak into twitter, it's hard for me (an old person) to imagine how it could compete with youtube for how-to. But then maybe that's just growing old.
OpenAI seem not to want my money.
Like Google,Amazon, Microsoft they do not accept PayPal not sure why because other giant/big companies like Steam and Netflix accept it. I am curious what is the difference , not wanting money bad enough to implement this?

Btw I do not want a debate about PayPal or other payments method,I am aware of the issues with PayPal and I am just a due with a few bucks in there that I could have spent on GPT4 to test it but I could not.
We should probably both have gotten Amigas instead.
What happens if you lie on your resume? what if you practice speaking with a more prestigious accent than you grew up with? What if you carefully study your friends who went to private schools and summered in the Hamptons to learn how to imitate their ineffable shibboleth mannerisms?

The answer is yes, you can do these things, and it will confer exactly the benefits you imagine. And the consequences for getting "caught" aren't usually serious, either. But sometimes they are.
Our "text" isn't actually text, but rather 32-byte bytea values (SHA256 hashes).

(This is just a very close analogy, not what we're actually doing:) imagine a data warehouse for relationally querying IPLD (https://ipld.io/) -hypermedia-document-shaped data, where every piece of data has embedded "foreign keys" to other data, that come in the form of content hashes (really IPFS CIDs, but you can strip that down to just a hash for internal use.) An average modelled-document-type table will have 3-12 of these foreign keys as toplevel columns; and these columns will have various indices on them, to allow the various tables of this data to be efficiently joined through these keys.

And there will be billions of records in each of these modelled-document-type tables.

We still need the content hashes — we can't just swap them out for BIGSERIAL values at ingest time and drop the original content-hash values — because people query the data by content-hash, and also expect content-hash references to other documents to appear in query results.

Throwing all the content hashes into a big "interned strings" table, and then replacing them with content-hash-IDs in the regular tables, saves tons of space (and thereby makes much more of the regular tables fit into memory at once.) And as we can join content-hash-ID foreign-keys to content-hash-ID primary-keys, we only ever need to involve the "interned strings" table 1. as an initial lookup to find the first document to work with, and 2. to translate any content-hash-IDs in the result back to content hashes.

(If you think about it carefully, while "string interning" might be the strategy used, the problem is more like "keeping a bijective mapping between large expensive globally-unique public identifiers, and cheap small per-shard-unique private identifiers, where translation occurs between global and local identifiers at the system API boundary.")
> I objected to this and listed all of the problems I could see if Scrum was introduced: losing dev creativity and incentive, tickets taking exactly one sprint to complete instead of doing them at leisurely pace, the mistranslation coming from having one extra layer of communication (Scrum Master handling the client now).

And that was your big mistake. Those are real concerns, but those things are abstract and non-quantifiable. The proper way to fight scrum is to measure the time it takes to perform the scrum 'ceremonies'. It's rarely less than 30% of the total work time in a sprint. 50% seems to be very common.

In my experience even the dumbest and thick-headed management can understand that. I've always imagined if it didn't I could ask to hire more people to compensate for the time lost, but I never had to resort to that.

Granted, you still end up with a mutilated scrum at the end. But if you mutilate it right, you can fit your pre-scrum work process into the terminology of a mutilated scrum.

Lol, no they won't. The cost of developing their software stack is massive. They'd either resort to more technical hacks like running more of the driver in userspace, or if push comes to shove just develop a Linux compatible kernel with a cleanroom codebase. Kernels aren't that hard to develop for a company like NVIDIA especially if you only care about supporting a limited set of hardware (like DGX servers).

The upper middle class Tesla or EV owner insists on tax-subsidies for electric cars, not paying for roads because they don't pay fuel tax, and expecting free parking and free electricity for charging in municpal parking garages.

Apparently, those policies are saving the planet. Can we just do that scheme for every car on the road? Will it scale?
I worked in 3 different companies (Hyderabad, Bangalore) in South India and did not see any evidence of caste discrimination. Or even people talking about discrimination in office.

While I did see discrimination in college, which was in a rural town in South India.
The EFF is absolutely in the wrong on this. ISPs are private businesses, and they have every right (and responsibility!) to enforce their own Acceptable Use Policies/Terms of Service. Anyone who cries "Freedom of Speech" either hasn't thought this through, or else has no idea what they're talking about... Hurricane Electric is not a government entity.

We are living in Popper's "Paradox of Tolerance". Nazis need to be punched, but de-platforming them is pretty good, too.
This is not very surprising. Drone control is a pretty challenging skill for a human to learn. Good work from the drone agent team though.
This is confusingly written. It makes it sounds like you'd get a free phone after 24 months, but it's just really a 2-year subscription plan that bundles the hardware and a selection of Google services in a single monthly fee.

What you get after 2 years is the chance to sign up for another 2-year subscription, which includes a new phone, paid monthly over another 2 years.

Google has not just deprived a bunch of people of free phones, they are just eliminating this subscription bundle plan.

To be precise the issue is that capitalism will always optimize for "most profit" and little else, simply due to the design of the capitalist "machine". Koreans are simply very very good at capitalism, and the result is a society where most will barely scrape by, constantly working, while those at the top reap massive profits. If you've been paying attention, you can see the same exact thing here in America, with a little more wiggle room due to the wide range of cost of living throughout the country.
Yes, but ideally I'd like a robust fs that I can use for storage and have r/w interop between linux and windows. I hear you can do that with the btrfs windows driver, but I've never tested it

So my wife is from a shipyard town in Russia which refitted that air carrier ship for Indian navy. So at times they had a lot of Indian citizens in town.

I remember some of her acquaintances, working at child care, discovered that some of Indian kids shun other ones based on Caste, and promptly made them all do kids' dances holding hands with each other.
A media outlet hostile to you could use that data against you with great effect - and it's already happened. The owners of Sanctioned Suicide were deanonymised by the NYT in part from illegally obtained data - the Epik breach.[1]

These were individuals who intended on staying pseudonymous, operated something that was legal-but-disagreeable-to-the-public, but yet fell victim to a hack that spilled their identity. And in spite of that, journalists felt it ethical to use illegally obtained data in part to "out" them. Nobody to my knowledge called out the problems with this - or that this same ethically fraught tactic may one day be used by organised harassers and right-wing outlets to deanonymise people seeking abortion or gender-affirming care.

Here in the US, the First Amendment makes any legal remedy to this hard to achieve. Yet still, we could be doing far better than to passively condone the use of illegally obtained data in investigative journalism to highlight unpopular, perhaps even vile, but legal activities.

If that's the cost, I think we're comfortable paying it, rather than not being able to return things.

It's not that I don't see ads, but I do tend to prefer websites like Hacker News more than ad-driven websites. I do see ads on linked news sites.
So, why are those cars unsafe? As far as I can tell, it's only because other people drive monster cars which is the whole point of this thread. If most people were in smaller cars, then smaller cars wouldn't be unsafe.
What's the alternative, where devs are motivated and productive, the team can react to the market quickly, and the business can rely on delivery dates for commercial and marketing?

I'm not saying scrum and agile achieve the above. But what does? Seems like a 3 things pick 2 situation, and the 2 that get picked will time and again be the last 2.

That isn't a permanent fork away from the Linux kernel. It's basically them repackaging Ubuntu LTS, customized with some of the binaries packaged in.

Permanently forking the Linux kernel us a VERY different beast then taking Ubuntu, pre-installing Nvidia drivers, and then re-baselining everytime Ubuntu releases a new LTS.
When I got Stadia, I set my dad up with it to play Red Dead 2, because he knows nothing of games, and I wasn't buying him a PS4 just to play 1 game. It was great. When he got stuck, I logged in across the country and advanced the story for him, and he took back over. Spectacular product.

I told my dad, day 1, "You'd better enjoy this now, because in 2 years, Google will kill this and you'll never be able to play again." I was off by about a year, but I was 100% right. At least they gave me back 100% of my money and game purchase $. Still, standard Google.

Additionally, anyone notice that nothing works worse together than Google and Google. I had Google Wifi, Google phones, Chromebooks, EVERYTHING. And nothing ever worked reliably. Ever.

> I went on a rant

I think that sums up why you got rejected. Over the years I've found anything negative said during an interview process works against you. I really noticed this when I had a job I hated and some of that kept creeping into my interviews with me saying something about it (varied from rant to a few comments) and I was interviewing for a few months... I noticed this and consciously edited it out and had 2 offers in the next couple weeks. I've noticed it more subtly after that and have sense tried to make sure I stay 100% positive in my interviews.
Yeah well maybe they should think a bit harder. I am not taking the DoD's word on it.

We really can't use directed energy weapons to snipe them out of the air? Scatter pebbles and rocks in the air space above them to ground them? Use a dozen helicopters to drop huge nets on top of them Scooby Doo style?

Come on people, time to get creative. If your only solution to swarms of death bots is more death bots, then you won't see a single willing dollar from me.
Reading the attachments, the data seems to be recent (except for IIT bombay?) and includes assistant, associate, and tenured professors. Surprising that almost 175 of the 180 faculty members are from the "forward castes" (~30% of population) vs 5 (1 obc, 4 sc, scheduled caste) from the remaining 70%. Could also be due to academia skewing older? (i.e reflecting past biases)

This is a very funny response. Elon Musk has shown that he's extremely quick to censor speech on Twitter / X that he personally disagrees with. He also declines to fight government requests to censor speech, as opposed to Twitter prior to his ownership.

> Capitalism. The problem is capitalism.

Not capitalism but the unfettered capitalism without protection for workers. In a system where humans are treated as "input" for the big machine without income security, said humans will not produce more burden unto themselves.

If having a kid increases the risk of destitution, the rational human will choose to not have them (or at least not have more than 1).
I think the point being made by the “other side” is not so much that the lab leak is probable, not even that it is possible, but rather it’s about whether we’re being told the truth and treated like adults and allowed to make our own judgements.

I look for recipes a lot. While what I find matches the "SEO-shaped recipe blog page" template mentioned in TFA, nevertheless the results still have the recipe(s) I'm looking for.

When I need to fix/build/repair stuff, searching just youtube almost always gets me what I need or want.
The F103 microcontroller on the blue pill is the epicenter of price hiking during the semiconductor shortage. I've seen prices upwards of 35 USD for each chip. It was more expensive to get one of these chip than to get a Raspberry Pi.

in most cases the teams already had their own source or platform of choice!
Really?? My experience has been the total opposite.

Coming from T-mobile (with terrible outsourced support with hours long waits) and AT&T (totally incompetent bureaucracy with misleading offers) and Verizon (generally decent, actually, but I wanted better data dnd tethering), Fi has been a godsend. The app makes setup and configuration super easy, and is much easier to use (and way less spammy) than the big carrier apps. The calls and data worked flawlessly in the few countries I've tried so far (five or so). The support answers in a minute or two and has been supremely helpful every single time, to the degree I wonder how they can afford to train and empower staff so well (who ever thought THAT about support). The data policies are supremely fair, between generous tethering, free data SIMs, and international usage.

I've never been happier on a carrier, and I'm trying to switch all my friends and family over. It's such an incredible service compared to the big crappy carriers.

The one downside I've seen so far is that sometimes when you're out of reception for a while (common in the mountains), when you come back you have to manually download group texts (because they are MMS) before they will show up in the right threads with Google Messages. Annoying but not the end of the world.

They might not know that the rules exist at all -- you have to go looking to find them. I'm sure that they're getting away with it because nobody cares and the yard is fenced in and nobody sees the chickens and because none of their next door neighbors care.

I don't talk to them much besides "hello", as communication is difficult since they don't speak much English and I don't speak much (any) Swahili.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t true. Lots travels by rail, but a hell of a lot travels by truck. I ship a lot ltl (pallets)

If you want to do a quick test yourself , next time you are on a highway look at the places the trucks are from (obviously they can be registered elsewhere but it gives you an idea).

If you import to a port it usually travels by rail after (cause ports have great rail links) but if you are going business to business in the US it’s often by truck
Do you have any data to support this? I always thought the issue was a mix of multiple things including social support, immigration policies, and various other complicated factors.
Lol. How about the weight of the vehicle with empty batteries.
It's not. Maybe it will be, but at the moment there's no clear characterization: it could be fair use, or the biggest copyright infringement in history. Courts will tell, unless the legislators take a step before that.
Funny because that's exactly how most commercial Linux-based products work, including and especially Android smartphones. In my opinion, tolerating TiVo-ization was a major and possibly fatal misstep for GPL enforcement. What is a firmware blob, if not a derived work?

It stems from a "nerdy" interpretation of "linking" that considers as relevant the fact that the monolithic proprietary blob (encrypted, protected, unmodifiable) has some sort of internal interface that mirrors the way a user might use a hypothetical free version of the product (running proprietary processes on a free kernel/userland). But it ignores the fact that the user cannot in practice disentangle the product in any way. It is the user experience that should legally be the deciding factor.

I realize this may be a controversial stance, but consider - what if I released a proprietary and closed source desktop application that bundled into its binary a copy of the Linux kernel? Are the specifics of how it interacts internally with this code really relevant? Is this really a different situation than code that runs bare metal?
I tend to think that the real debacle is that people think it is a debacle whenever a business takes a long time to reach profitability.

I bet a lot of great innovation has been held back by the focus on short term returns.

> Agree that patient input shouldn't be necessary, but to replace it we will need to include other inputs besides CGM in a systematic way to get the optimal results.

I'm not going as far as to claim Medtronic's approach (I believe the only one commercially available with so-called meal prediction based on historical CGM and offers full correction boluses) is the optimal one, just that it is an approach that is at least very good (~80% time in target) and while it still requires meal announcements it's just the first step of what they're trying to do. Clearly we can expect further iterations of these algorithms as the technology matures.

> Inreda uses two identical CGMs for noise reduction purposes just so they can get clean data with less of a lag.

Just giving an example that this is possible without external input or data, your statement was that you will need a-priori information which is not necessarily the case. Whether such a system is optimal is a different question.

I haven't seen the raw data and highly doubt enough of it even exists for anyone to make a claim whether or not such a system can be optimized to the point necessary.

> None of the systems claiming you don't have to do anything in terms of meal announcement are _working_ in the sense of achieving euglycemic parity, which should be the goal.

For clarity to any less knowledgeable readers while time spent in euglycemia is a very important outcome measure it cannot come at the expense of severe hypoglycemia or severe hyperglycemia/diabetic ketoacidosis (i.e. an algorithm that improves euglycemia to 95% but has a 2% severe hypo time is less acceptable than 80% euglycemia and 0.5% severe hypo.)

To my knowledge no system on the market/generally available right now is claiming to be completely input free. The closest to my knowledge is again the MiniMed 780G discussed in my first point which will assuredly be iterated on.

Also to be clear I'm not being dismissive of what your company is working on, it's a very interesting and novel approach. It may even be necessary to achieve the optimal product. I look forward to reading about your results when you publish them. I'm just presenting alternatives and a brief overview of what other approaches are for HN readers who are likely unfamiliar with the topic being discussed.
When I worked in a startup with location-based apps we also were hit by that Google Maps API price increase.
However, my understanding is that they are still free for use on mobile, and maybe that's the place which Google really cares to be at any cost? As for the web, they already control all the data they want with their to analytics, ads, and Chrome browser.
Might be a mistranslation but I think what they meant was sports situated in the real world as opposed to the digital world. That requires a lot more feature learning and engineering than let’s say chess and go where board state can be more easily encoded.
