> What are you referring to? The situation I thought we were discussing was an invited speaker attempting to speak and people in the audience preventing him from doing that by shouting so that he can't be heard and is forced to leave.

I was thinking of things like people heavily protesting the event without actually being in the room.

> Maybe my example wasn't clear. In the world in which it is perfectly fine to prevent others from speaking by disrupting them by heckling, and yelling, everyone is susceptible to being prevented from speaking. So you get an echo chamber in which speakers can only preach to people who are already in their choir. In that world, there is no need to have fire hoses or attack dogs to silence people with whom we disagree because it is perfectly acceptable to use our "free speech" to silence them.

The comparison with people like MLK doesn't strike me as very apt.

Anyways, I am not sure there is much practical evil to the echo chamber thing. For one thing, people already self-segregate and don't want to hear from people who aren't in their respective "tribe" or "echo chamber" or w/e. For another, I don't think that a lot of disagreement on polarizing issues comes down to "I never heard what the other side's argument or justification for their position is".
Not yet, but jq is getting into the kind of shape where we could add support for lots of formats. I'd like to have support for various binary JSON types (e.g., CBOR, but maybe too JSONB and others), YAML, and XML.

AOL offered the ability to connect to it through a 3rd-party internet provider. I did this for probably two or three years before finally giving up on AOL. By that time, the web had evolved quite a bit and AOL's content and communities were no longer worth the extra expense.

Gatekeeping is necessary to protect, nourish, and grow anything. The alternative is enshittification and commercial "anything goes" BS dilluting it to death. Like it has happened with many other things, like news outlets from major print media well gatekeeped before being gossip rags today.

The hardest part is probably figuring out the name of the character device, which is about as difficult as figuring out which pin is where on the board. But I guess these kinds of things don't come naturally to everyone, which is why Arduino is successful.
I really don’t see how a plan without international reach has any chance of being effective.
Yeah occasionally mixing a singular "they" that way is very common in english in certain contexts. Particularly when its short clear paragraphs talking about a single person. But that's still a distinction from being used as a pronoun everywhere, which can definitely get confusing quickly, even for non-ESL readers... which is all that really matters in writing/communication.

I'm seeing it more often in journalism now where multiple people or organizations are referred to through out an article and then "they" gets thrown in liberally for social etiquette. It takes serious mental effort to keep track of who they are referring to. Might as well just always use their name at that point to avoid both conflict and confusion shrug.

Texas needs a capacity market, where generators are paid based on their must run status. They choose not to previously because of politics (prioritizing low cost over resiliency). The PUC is working to fix this ("performance credit mechanism").

https://www.texastribune.org/2023/03/01/texas-power-market-p...
So based on that[1], it looks like the issue is that solar and wind capacity is forecasted to dip right around the time demand peaks? And there's basically no battery storage available (4,835 MW of maximum storage output vs the 61,549 MW maximum combined output for wind+solar)?

I live in Texas and we’ve been dancing on the edge of energy availability for weeks now. If you glance at ERCOT’s public graphs that estimate energy supply and demand, every evening we’re barely eeking by. From what I’ve heard, this should be improving daily as temperatures ease, but I guess not. Surprising that we had an emergency episode in September rather than two weeks ago.

If Texas can’t supply enough energy in the summer, I have no hope for what our future winters will look like.

With equity you just have different obligations, I responded to a rather cynical commenter above on my take. I agree, but it's not free either. Equity holders can exercise power in different manners, usually more hostile due to the decisive power they have.

I was excited to subscribe to the service, but my #1 (really, only) place I'd listen to classical music is at my desk while working. I know people listen to contemporary music on their phones most of the time, but I was surprised to learn that the same is apparently true for classical?
If you’re argument is that workplace culture distinguishes US workers and foreign workers, wouldn’t you be pushing for some in office presence?

Either:

a) workplace culture is hard to transmit online, in which case you’d need in-office for new workers

b) workplace culture can be transmitted online, in which case foreign workers can be integrated well into the company (even if this process takes decades)
Hence why open source models are so important. Otherwise someone else will be deciding what knowledge is knowable and what thoughts are thinkable, and will be watching to see if you’re thinking the wrong thoughts.

> I grew in Germany and until I moved to Asia, I actually thought that most of everything that has a name that can remotely be pronounced in a German fashion was in fact German.

That requires to be pretty sheltered, culturally, though. I’m (also German) pretty much on the opposite end, and regularly surprised how many things are indeed German.
I've certainly seen game engines trying to advertise much more-involved particle systems over the last few years, that is for sure. ;PPPP

Which in some ways I guess makes sense, as the shift towards AI has heavily pushed GPUs almost towards a "sizeable-reduced-instruction-set-GPU-in-GPU" approach with RT cores/tensor cores, etc.... ;P

Side note as well, in/from my experience at least, I think these systems may not be as hard to render as it is for the author. A few years ago, someone (at NVIDIA I think?) wrote kernels to move the SE(3) kernels to tensor cores, so I wouldn't be shocked if some of that could be ported to the spherical harmonics portion of the Gaussian splatting during both compression and runtime: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/accelerating-se3-transform...

Also, side side note, gaussian splatting should be quite efficient...I think? Due to technically always having support in 3D space (and hopefully not too much of a problem with having good support in 3D space). This should mean that even 'sloppy', quick-conversion calculations should work pretty decently in the end.

I say all of this knowing very little about most optimizations like billboarding, how things like nanite work, etc, etc. I do like it tho! ;PPPP
I’m not sure where you’re used to commenting online, but here criticism and personal attacks are different things. As you can see above, naturalauction criticized my comment, identifying a mistake in my approach. You attacked me personally and gave rise to an incredibly boring thread that I hope for everyone else’s sake ends up [dead].

I’m done here.
They raised $22, but the valuation was probably closer to $100M (or even more if they raised $54 not $22). So for an investor to 10x their money, the exit needs to be for $1B or more.
even with incentives, it’s still cash-negative for the miners to buy electricity from ERCOT though, right?
I sometimes use this

It's called demand management / demand response / frequency response. I think that line sounds like a bit of click bait as there isn't much context around it.

I would imagine that the crypto operations also pays a lot of money for generation services - so knowing how much it purchases for electricity vs how much it conserves would add a lot of context. Stating that they get millions (loose numbers) from DM/DR programs is pretty soft reporting and they are providing a grid stabilizing service.

The argument that retail consumers can't get money from DR programs i'm not sure is accurate though don't know what ERCOT currently offers for residential consumers. I know of services that allow consumers to cash in through smart thermostats etc (OhmConnect). Also its a lot cheaper to get a couple large consumers to reduce their usage then aggregating over a large group of houses.

Now if you are trying to argue that this use case for the electricity is wasteful thats another argument or that Texas handling of the grid has been challenged especially the natural gas fiasco - also another argument.
Could you provide a source showing that immigration is a meaningful factor?
I've been getting a couple of these each day for the past few days. It's always a bit entertaining. Partly because my email address is my name (so I know it's not likely a typo when folks enter the email address). Partly because I leverage GPG from the Facebook side so the messages are encrypted.

Meaning, even if they somehow had access to my email (they don't - strong, unique password and separate MFA) they wouldn't be able to get the reset code as it's encrypted by a key stored in secure physical hardware.

Still, kudos to the hackers for trying. Getting these emails means _someone_ cares enough about my account to want access. Even if I rarely use it for anything other than checking in on distant relatives ...
> What kind of market does Arduino expect to get into with that money? I can't see any.

Maybe professional users like Raspberry Pi did (with the known consequences)? Getting out of that hobby/tinkerer niche with lots of counterfeits from China is probably something to strive for.
"Hotel" could be pretty close?
It’s definitely a thought I’ve had from time to time as well. I’m not a chip designer but my hunch is that it’s because one of the branches is likely to result in even more branches, likely very soon after that initial branch on one of the paths taken (ie you won’t get far before hitting another branch). Example is a condition that causes you to leave the loop - on every iteration of the loop you’d be trying to speculatively execute what happens after the loop.

That means you’ve got an exponentially increasing number of speculative execution happening and it’s almost all worthless (ie 1/n^2) while competing for resources with the one real path. This is ignoring the practical challenges of managing all that speculation and any fun additional speculative attacks that might arise again.

The best case for something like this is where you have a bunch of unpredictable branches. In those cases, it’s better for the compiler to convert it to “branchless” code (eg using the x86 cmov instruction).

There’s also major performance problems unrelated to branches which are data dependencies. I think those are even more impactful these days as they completely inhibit the length of a deep pipeline. Those can only really be solved by fixing code.
Censorship is bad wheter is done by "the party" or by "democracies" or by companies.
The market did create a ton of supply. It added so much supply electric contracts went as low as $0.10/kWh including delivery costs at the start of the summer. It added several state's worth of supply. Its just people demanded even more with 7x more growth in demand than historical.
The grid operator knows immediately, but it is confidential [1]. Similar "CEII" rules are enforced by FERC for the other US grids.

I was solicited to improve an Amazon review in exchange for a partial refund. I refused. They tried again and I told them I would reduce the review by a star for each additional email. I forwarded the interaction to Amazon, and they did nothing.
It's not the upper bound of how much they can get paid for journalism. It's the lower bound of what Bunker 15 will pay people who happen to be on Rotten Tomatoes as official reviewers for reviews.
No, because the attacker needs to enter the recovery code sent by email.

My assumption is that they're just guessing over millions of accounts and are expect 1-2 to hit so they can take over those accounts.
The only thing I think you're missing is that a browser is kind of a clunky dependency. It really wants you to use it for a certain kind of thing and although they can be tricked into doing other things, you and your users are always going to feel a bit of pressure to conform to the norms of the modern web.

So if you're trying to avoid the mess that is the web these days, a TUI is really your whole "everything else" for things that don't CLI well. So it's nice to be able to put it in a browser later on without having had to build it there in the first place.

Thanks for clarifying. Hukou itself is indeed very bad. There's a few subtle details which made it not feel like a (traditional) class system to me. tl;dr it's no longer a urban/rural class system, it's more of a born-in-Beijing/Shanghai vs others class system.

AFAIK, the urban/rural differentiating part (农业户口; "agricultural hukou" vs urban hukou) is no longer relevant. The "you can't have social welfare where you want to live/work; you can only have social welfare where your hukou is at" part is still relevant and unlikely to be changed in the near future.

Thanks to capitalism, what type of hukou you have no longer limits what kind of work you can do. Most of the mingong-s do low-paid migrant labor work because on the market that's the best they can do with their skills. I have talked with a software engineer at Tencent who was claiming to have rural hukou. This is generally true, to the point that rural hukou holders no longer want to convert their hukou to the urban one, from [1]:

> A recent study [2] finds that only one-fifth migrant workers are interested in converting their rural hukou to urban hukou, as they are unwilling to give up their rural land – valuations having increased sharply in recent years.

It is still unfair to them because of the welfare thing mentioned above, though. But it is not because of the urban/rural difference: for example, if someone has a urban hukou in, say, Zhengzhou (a city with 12mln people), they still can't have welfare in Beijing even if they lived in Beijing for 10+ years. Which is also why they don't convert to urban hukou unless it's Beijing/Shanghai one - benefits of poorer cities are meh, and it is not possible to convert back so they lose their lands permanently.

Why on Earth are we already lamenting the fall of LLMs?
It is not akin to saying that. Please argue in good faith [1]. Writing idiomatic React code makes a lot of practical sense (easier-to-find examples e.g. in the docs, wider library support, onboarding newbies). You can choose to use hooks while acknowledging the tradeoffs from class components.

Given Arduino's origin and first history this is especially depressing. Good old Adriano is now well and buried.
Now if we could just somehow fit "web3" or "as a service" in that sentence
Of course there will be differences. That's why you sit down and plan things together, pulling in and coordinating with all _relevant_ stakeholders. Of course not the whole company.

But the attitude needs to be "let's put the requirements on the table and see what we can do" instead of "you don't get what you want unless you give me a good reason". The latter comes from an angle of distrust which I'm arguing against. The former comes from an angle of collaborative problem solving.

In a company in which I go to a team relevant to a project and like to engage in a discussion and am met with an attitude of "unless you give us a good reason we'll stop talking to you", the atmosphere is not one that will keep me personally for long. YMMV.

> I believe you are intentionally misunderstanding.

You are free to believe what you like. Opening a reply with such a sentence is pretty sad though. It does not foster a healthy atmosphere, nor does it match reality, I might add.
Ya, many people are concerned about how various interest groups are attempting to hobble AI in the west by pushing certain world viewpoints comparing it to Russia and China.

But have you even seen how much more strict China is with censorship? They're going to spend far more time hobbling the model than the west. Especially with the explosion of FOSS models.
isn’t it normal for supply to only barely exceed demand? That’s what’s most efficient.

Out of curiosity, what did those graphs look like to you on previous years?
I was a PM at instagram in 2016 when we got a lot of these complaints from celebrities and short usernames.

Some users were getting hundreds of reset emails/day triggered by random people in the world trying to reset their password.

It's a really hard problem to solve because if these users actually forgot their password someday, they would really want those emails. We ended up creating a snooze for 30 days button at the bottom of the email as an imperfect solution to balance short-term spam and long-term lockout (with an override if the device id requesting the reset had recently been logged-in to the account).

Idk if that still exists on IG but doubt it was ever ported to FB.

The problem is that they aren't the only business in town anymore.

A lot of the hobbyist stuff is moving to MicroPython / CircuitPython, PlatformIO is eating the more hardcore market, and professionals will just stick to whatever RTOS & HAL they were already using.
-R, --group-directories first are some notable, frequent options I use on GNU ls that are missing from MacOS ls. Along with every "long" option, which I like to prefer in scripts to make them more self documenting.

exa actually does support both, so in a way it's more compatible with my usage of (GNU) ls than (MacOS) ls is.
Ask HN: What is the best open source LLM that can be run on Google Colab?
It seems I have lost the track on the open source LLL space, with so many models coming out every week or so.

As I don't have access to a GPU, I want to tinker with the a LLM on Google Colab (free tier). I appreciate your recommendations on the best choice here. The focus is on text analysis and generation, ideally beyond English. But I'm not going to expect answers to philosophical or mathematical logic questions, for example.

Thanks a lot.
I have been working on LLM agent systems, and have come across a few different syntaxes for expressing multi-agent problem-solving in a structured way, such as SCXML. I will definitely have to do a deeper dive on this.

My system currently implements a custom framework which generates and uses a directed acyclic graph which can express tasks as nodes, and relationships between tasks as edges.
Again, what does this even mean?

Your claim was that they need to "focus their resources" and can't possibly handle multiple large tech cases at once. You still haven't explained what that means, at all.

I pointed out they have tons of resources, even comparing it to the practices of large law firms that handle many large cases at once.

Now you are arguing they are doing something, but apparently not handling multiple large tech cases since you think they are incapable of doing that, but that there is some weird "day to day" that involves a significant mass of attorneys that they are all doing instead that is somehow "keeping the agencies running", and cite the size of the population of the US as if that has literally any relevance to anything.

This is all totally odd, since it's the 520 other people that keep the DOJ ATR running, not the lawyers. That's literally their job. The FTC also has a large support staff aside from the 780 attorneys.

What i take away from all of this is:

1. You have no idea what they do or how they operate.

2. You don't want to admit that they in fact, have plenty of resources to operate multiple tech cases at once, and are repeatedly deflecting because you have no basis to assert otherwise.

To wit - here's a fun fact that, uh, slightly damages your argument, FWIW - they've made multiple public comments and statements (to congress even!) that they believe they have what they need to handle multiple simultaneous large tech cases. It's in fact, why they staffed up over the past few years, adding hundreds of attorneys. So they don't even think you are right. Only you do.

You would know this, of course, if you actually bothered to try to look at or understand any of the data/statements/etc around the FTC or DOJ, rather than just randomly asserting things.

You would also know that the DOJ/FTC break down what percent of their support is focused on what (including sustaining operations), for example, and since it's not a very large percent, you wouldn't try to make a silly argument that they are understaffed to handle it because of that.

3. You aren't willing to engage in a discussion where you back up any point you make with any data.

Given #3, this is pointless. It's not worth trying to discuss this with someone who just asserts things based on their random opinions, and just changes their argument when they realize someone is pushing back on their silliness and giving real data.

If you want to have a meaningful discussion, bring facts. Otherwise, it's just people asserting their own personal gut feelings on the internet, which is not particularly interesting to discuss.

Have a good one.

I don't know anything about limey tax law, but just reading this thread makes the point very clear: somebody thinks that property taxes are too low across the board, and have been made up for with other taxes (presumably head or consumption taxes) that impact working people more than property taxes, which scale roughly with wealth. If you agree that this is the problem, challenging your own assessment doesn't solve anything unless you are one of the rich property owners who are underpaying. Even then, you'd also need to reduce the non-property (the head or consumption taxes) portion of taxes in order to relieve the burden on working people.
