I had the photo of the week here once, back in 2016. I used to love doing different shoelace patterns back when I wore Converse, and this website was the best resource for that.

Just checked and another of my photos is one of the Best Of ones, that's neat.
True, but it's not the total time, it's the complexity involved in build process, as in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Configuration

As a first approximation, one would not expect building a suite of office tools to be more complex than building an operating system kernel.

Also, for the people saying "it's only the kernel, not the whole O/S", consider that building the kernel requires having a running system with all the dependencies.
Thank you, I had misunderstood your point.
Ask HN: How to Find Mentorship
I'm in the process of reshaping various aspects of my life, including my career and social circle, and potentially even considering a change in my country of residence. I'm seeking platforms or individuals who have undergone similar life transitions and can offer mentorship. Do you know of websites where to find this type of mentorship? Looking forward to suggestions! :-)
The volume you are exposed to depends on how close to the speakers you are. In a large venue the people closest are getting a lot more sound than the people in the back
I think a weakness with Github might be ssh-based pushes. Hopefully the user uses an ssh passphrase (typed at every remote git interaction, or typed once per session via ssh-agent. MacOS does something special with their secure enclave thing.)

But how do you secure that against the threat of a keylogger running on a developer's Linux machine? Am I overthinking here? Is it already game over if the attacker runs software on that developer's machine?
I recently looked at Django Pegasus and ended up just compiling my own 'kit'. There is some value on curation but ultimately the hard part is understanding your chosen libraries and customization for your use case.
I found this site and switched to the secure knot many years ago, and my shoelaces have literally never come undone since. One of those quality of life improvements that I now take for granted.
Or for a couple grand more you can get a base model Subaru with symmetrical AWD and a it will easily get to 200k+ miles.
They do have the Apache Attic for that purpose, but they typically defer to the project maintainers to make the decision to retire a project, unless there are no longer any maintainers.
It was obvious from the beginning.
A basic corolla, at only slightly more ($21.9k vs $20.7k), gets 53 mpg vs 36 mpg, and will probably last longer.
Its not a big deal. In a nutshell, Intel found that customers want to aircool the 600W liquid cooled SKU, instead of buying a separate 450W aircooled SKU. And they are making a neutered version for export to China.

...But is anyone on HN actually using these things? I haven't seen a single paper, HF model or GitHub repo even mention a Xeon Max. All papers seem to use A100s or the rare H100 for experimentation, and the occasional GitHub project tests on Arc GPUs.
I don't know, it seems pretty in pocket with seeing "this is an art exhibit and I want wild shit to happen".

Comparing it to a normal real world interaction where you expect people to just hang out and chat is ridiculous, if people just chatted it would be a totally failed set piece.
Financialization. The capability to create "today money" from "tomorrow money" at extremely low levels of perceived risk. Sometimes we dip our webbed flippers into the idea of negative risk, with predictable - but extremely today-dollar-rific - results.

Offtopic, but this magical money-generation capability is commonly perceived as a standin for any value-generation capability, from aerodynamics to materials science. Go wander the C-Suite of a major aerospace firm and count the engineering degrees, then go back and count the MBAs. It's every bit as absurd as late-stage Soviet Russia injecting "Socialism" into fields like fluid dynamics.

If this disagrees with anyone's ideology, I preemptively apologize. Go ahead and throw stuff at the monitor.
If you're contracted by a publisher to make something, you are by definition not an independent studio.
Hypothetically, if you believe there's no such thing as a soul or consciousness, it's all just neurons and they can be simulated, and we're close to being able to simulate them - you're much more likely to think lofty AI goals can be achieved.

If you follow a religious tradition like Shinto where even things like rocks can have spirits - the idea of your phone having a certain, limited form of intelligence might already be cool with you.

If you think, much like a camera does most of the work in photography but it's the photographer that takes the credit, that when a person uses AI the output is nobody's work but the user - you might be completely fine with an AI-written wedding speech.

If you think the relentless march of technology can't be stopped and can barely be directed, you might think advanced AIs are coming anyway, and if we don't invent it the Chinese will - you might be fine with pretty much whatever.

If you're extremely trusting of big corporations, who you see as more moral than the government; or you think that censorship is vital to maintain AI safety and stamp out deep fakes; you might think it a great thing for these technologies to be jealously guarded by a handful of huge corporations.

Or hell, maybe you're just a parent who's had their kid want to hear the same Peppa Pig book 90 nights in a row and you've got a hankering for something that would introduce a bit of variety.

Of course these are all things reasonable people could disagree on - but if you didn't like openai's work, would you end up working at openai?
Meh, cyber resilience act will kill it. Two or three years and it's gone.

Of my favourite books. Thank you for the reminder to read it again :-)

To those who didn't read it - it is a rather short novel, uncannily funny, scary, and most of all - revealing of how human societies actually work. This is one of the earlier Pelevin's works, so the style is still illustrious. Some jokes might not be immediately transparent as they are contextualized in the late USSR.

Correction: it is scary in the cthonic/transcendent sense, not that it is spooky (it's not at all).
There's a topic called "blue zones" which examines regions where people live healthy dementia free for far longer than surrounding communities. it's not clear how much research is active, but it is an investigated topic.

Your comment doesn't convince me you're making decisions either. "Wurd" could've just what you considered the best token to get your point across in the same way that LLMs choose the best token
>where you just have to be faster than the other guy. For now. The bear is getting faster and faster and it won't be long before it eats all of us.

Here's the thing about that. At first it's about you running faster and the bear getting the slow ones, but this is actually a very short term situation. When things start getting bad, it's not the bear you need to worry about, it's your neighbor stabbing you in the leg so you're the slow one.
? Yes it's not easy and so what ? If it's too hard don't employ people ...

But in this case I believe things should be easier since IMO a violation of this level of safety standard should risk bankrupting your company.

So your choice become to keep employing someone who can't follow basic regulation to save his life and risk the job of everyone else or just fire him (not as hard no ?).
And I might be a bit optimistic but in this scenario I would expect that the union might not support him as much.

And I made only a quick search but the scenario where union would protect safety violation appear to be less probable. Since at least regarding OSHA violations : https://blog.dol.gov/2022/05/11/the-connection-between-union...

> based on publicly reported OSHA data found that union worksites are 19% less likely to have an OSHA violation and had 34% fewer violations per OSHA inspection than non-union worksites.
Due to the sorry state of journalism, social media, and people's capacity for critical/ethical thinking, I expect the internet to very soon be flooded with "covid vaccines proven to cause diabetes in children".
Look at an average reddit thread and tell me how much original thought there is. I'm fairly convinced you can generate 95% of comments with no loss of quality.
Wealthy people might be held accountable (at least, that is my read on it :P).
CVT implementations vary, and I think some people just prefer the feel of a torque-converted automatic, which is why some CVTs fake this.

Nissan, however, is famous for making garbage CVTs that have lots of issues at low mileages.
Something like that, they're Webauthn alternative outside the web and allows multi-device syncing (Webauthn doesn't support syncing)

You could use any FIDO2 software or hardware key with Passkey.
You can use FIDO security keys with SSH and a keylogger would be useless unless someone has physical access to your security key.
One of the timeless treasures of the internet for sure. It's a pity that, nowadays, that kind of content is customarily hidden inside the noisy mazes of some unnecessary Discord server or social platform.

It's time we stopped calling those aberrations "walled gardens" but rather damp dungeons.
Oh god you actually mean it. Holy shit...

That's some weapons grade bias.
This is honestly surprising to me. I've driven some old ass Nissans and they are ridiculously reliable machines. 240SX and the entire Silvia engine line is solid.

Never owned a CVT but from what I understand they basically trade off fuel consumption for a bit of longevity?
There are a couple existing pretrained SD models that use all CC0/public domain data. I think at this point they're still significantly lower quality than other popular models, but I'm sure that will improve over time.
Why do you care if your office suite is requires Java as a build dependency? Oh right, I see you're new here and probably just trolling in favor of this nonsense.
Yeah, I could totally imagine some long-term bandwidth lease funding the launch of a geostationary satellite.

But enforcing that monopoly against private users, i.e. not resellers/ISPs, seems somewhat extreme.

I've no idea of the numbers, but it's possible they'd one one somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic — either St Helena or Ascension — for traffic from aircraft and ships.
1) That was true when it was just pitiful Colorado (no offense to Colorado residents)

2) That might be true for some companies that need mediocre talent, but if you’re looking to hire the best, and don’t got a salary disclosed, those elite workers have plenty of other options
>, the "mental" workers who get replaced by AI could simply move to manual jobs and total production and average wages would go up

Why would manual job average wages go up? You're increasing the size of the labor pool.

To be fair I was being somewhat obtuse. It's fairly obvious he's talking about Rupert Murdoch, but my point was to highlight that believing that big brother is watching us, means they don't even have to be watching us.

OP could easily get away with spewing every detail right here without getting caught, but the constant fear of surveillance stops her. _This too_ is how democracy dies in the darkness.
i'm always shocked when supposedly technology literate people meme like this; are you not aware of and/or dismissive of materials and mechanical engineering research in the intervening years. to such an extent that

1. the car on the left is 3x safer than the car on the right.

2. the car on the left actually does have comparable fuel efficiency (feel free to google for fuel efficiencies of the original minis)

3. the car on the left is better for the environment due to more stringent (e.g.) EPA standards for production vehicles (well at least until trump rolled them back...)
But in the short term, if it generates a load of "activity" in the run up to an IPO then that might be all they really care about.

Long term it seems like a terrible idea though.
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT has a problem with CHECK constraints. The constraint must be satisfied in the INSERT tuple even if the row already exists and UPDATE will be executed. I recently dealt with this at work and the resulting CTE query was very similar to MERGE, except MERGE has better syntax.
I don't get what you mean here. Why else would they have negative opinions of them?

Also, we bought a minivan in 2003, put 250,000 miles on it with no major repairs, got in an accident that totaled it, replaced it with a new version of the same model, have nearly 100,000 problem-free miles on it, and would buy the same model again if something happened to this one. Some people genuinely like their vehicles. I'd guess that most people do.
I actually don't care about adaptive cruise control, 360-degree parking camera, remote start, a bigger infotainment screen, and a Bose stereo for this segment. I'm sure someone will tell me now that removing those wouldn't make the car any cheaper. shrug.

A reliable, well-built (not pieces falling off after one winter season) car with a manual and non-cvt transmission would make this more appealing.
> Would you fire someone who you knew was on the verge of being evicted, or a single parent trying to support their children?

People make their own decisions how to behave and need to own them. Allowing important things to slide like health and safety matters is unacceptable.

> What about when the employees are unionized, and the union takes the side of the non-compliant laborers?

Start a new company and wind down the old one, transferring over existing customers.

My extremely cynical guess is that members of government (or anyone who can, really) who have made tons of money illegally trading on insider information are having their "journalist" friends write pieces to drum up resistance to whatever legislation is being proposed from online privacy activists.
also we have open LLMs including some which allegedly rival GPT3.5.

Open Assistant I specially remember gave some very weird responses and would get “emotional” especially if you asked it creative questions like philisophical ones
Some of those things are fads, other are useful things. Some things you cook work better one some counters (my current marble is great for rolling out scones, for everything else cheap Formica is just as good). A varied diet is more interesting (to me!), and probably provides better nutrients (I have no idea what you eat). I don't need to travel 45mph, but my time is valuable so I want to travel 450,000mph on all trips (without all the annoying physics effects from that speed).

What you can do is live the life you want. Many people talk like you, but never make changes in their own life. A few do make such choices, and many after 10 years realize they didn't actually want the things they did and return to modern life.
Yes, but measurement has changed in the meantime, so numbers not directly comparable.
Even if we disregard the anecdote, we can at least infer that the intention was to make an original, evocative piece of performance art. How does that implied goal cause people to act? Like a bunch of avant-garde nutjobs, maybe?
Modern catalytic converters require that the engine run much richer than efficiency dictates. We could improve fleet economy for small vehicles by trading off cold start emissions for highway emissions. Or allowing cat bypass once the engine has come to operating temperature.
> Blue-collar/lower income workers might take offense in that, as they'd look at someone making US$200-400k/year as part of the elite, it does not mean that workers earning that shouldn't look at themselves as they are: workers, subjected to an elite class controlling the means of production and hence, their lives.

I was making 400k/year at one time, I also had a few million dollars (that I earned by being "working class" in SV) invested in the S&P500. Which is why your argument has no merit. I could have stopped being "working class" with a 400k/year salary any time I wanted and lived from my investments but I didn't.

I kept being "working class" in SV and I ended up growing my compensation package to nearly 1 million dollars a year. That's what being "working class" in SV can amount to. But please try to convince me that I should take to the streets with my working-class brethren that work at Starbucks because I'm being exploited by the elites.
Most of the markets in goods and services seem to evolve towards hollowing out the middle: companies offer either bottom-tier garbage or luxury price (but not necessarily luxury quality) options for those not price-sensitive. What makes people think housing is different? That with unencumbered ability to build, we'll end up with decent-quality, livable, mid-tier apartments? Other markers show we should expect a mix of luxury apartment with barely-livable tin can sized slums complexes. And all of them for rent, not to buy.
> affordability is not an intrinsic value of a building

Value is, by definition, "An amount, as of goods, services, or money, considered to be a fair and suitable equivalent for something else; a fair price or return." Having the money to buy a house (for its advertised value) or not is what determines if you can afford it or not.

If you can't afford a house it's not affordable. If your city has housing, but a large population who can't afford said houses, then you have unaffordable housing. If you don't have any housing at all, you still don't have affordable housing.

This isn't really something worth debating. Affordable housing is a very well established part of the governance of cities, regardless of what contortions a blogger wants to use to reframe a discussion away from economic inequality.

How is org mode WYSIWYG?
The people who work for the government are just like us. Giving a government agency searchable access to tons of sensitive data has time and time again resulted in civil liberties abuses. After all why not just give every agency the power to see everything I have ever visited, searched for, posted, liked, etc. in one easy to use tool?

Some people may like that, but I reflexively disagree with any tool that gives even more of my private information to a government or private entity. Including and especially my finances.
They can probably do anything, but why would they when Fandom puts 3 gigabytes of their ads on every page of every wiki on their site? That's their bread and butter. You don't kill your livestock until you have to.

I'm very curious about this feature:

> analyze a complex graph for work-related data

Does this mean that I can take a screenshot of e.g. Apple stock chart and it will be able to reason about it and provide insights and analysis?

GPT-4 currently can display images but cannot reason or understand them at all. I think it's one thing to have some image recognition and be able to detect that the picture "contains a time-series chart that appears to be displaying apple stock" vs "apple stock appears to be 40% up YTD but 10% down from it's all time high from earlier in July. closing at $176 as of the last recorded date".

I'm very curious how capable ChatGPT will be at actually reasoning about complex graphical data.
> Renewables and energy efficiency do just fine with industry-sponsored R&D. Fusion would not.

That's an excellent additional reason why fusion is not a viable solution.
Bellingham isn't very affordable, but Marysville and Darington are still kind of affordable. And those two places aren't that far north of Everett.
I wish Intel would switch to a new code-name scheme. There's been enough "Lakes".
I'm not convinced that this pace will continue. We're seeing a lot of really cool, rapid evolution of this tech in a short amount of time, but I do think we'll hit a soft ceiling in the not too distant future as well.

If you look at something like smartphones, for example. Smartphones, from my perspective, got drastically better and better from about ~2006-2015 or so. They were rapidly improving cameras and battery life and it felt like a new super cool app that would change our lives was being released every day, but it feels like by ~2016 or so, phones more or less hit a ceiling on how cool they were going to get. Obviously things still improve, but I feel like the pace slowed down eventually.

I think AI is going to have the same path. GANNs and transformers and LLMs and the like have opened the floodgates and for the next few years clever people are going to figure out a ton of really clever uses for them, but eventually it's going to plateau and progress will become substantially more gradual.

I don't think progress is linear, I think it's more like a staircase.
We are not talking about Pinterest, we are talking about Microsoft which earns many multiples more profit than the finance firms.
This line between fine tuning and continuous pre-training is what I’m interested in. What is the investment difference between fine tuning, contoured-training and training from scratch? Do you (or anyone else) have any good sources or know of good examples where continuous pre-training is being done?
It’s big companies but it’s also (mostly?) the nice retired insurance agents and school teachers who like their quiet neighborhood and the fact that the house they bought 30 years ago can be sold for 4x its inflation-adjusted purchase price when they’re ready.

1. The modern day version of the car on the right would also be vastly safer.

2. Imagine how great all those fuel efficiency technologies would be if applied to a much lighter vehicle.
Not sure if trolling but, Rust had green threads before Rust 1.0. Like everyone sane before them they figured N:M scheduling is not the way forward and they ripped it out before going stable. That decision impressed me a lot and made me look into the language, I'm loving the journey so far.
