My resume has the (dis)pleasure of converting all of Netflixes OSS projects to run in containers. JVM or not. I have golang services that run at 80Mb, I have rust services that run at 20Mb. Every JVM service? I have to literally define its memory consumption with command line flags (-jvmx? I forget, its my weekend) on each deployment. Running JVMs in k8s is hilarious. I'm not grey beard Linux level yet (soon) but my god. It's hilarious how poorly they perform.

Really? For the initial Paisa.com, I doubt that. We predated GPay by years.
They just made the wrong choice in architecting their process'. They had different priorities then.

Engineered stone is created, it's not like natural stone, we don't have to cut it. They also have the choice to cast it, net shape.

They just need to redo their whole schema, they need to reconfigure their process to customize the engineered stone before its solidified, not after.
IIRC, LISTEN/NOTIFY needs to pin a PostgreSQL connection to the client, so you won't be able to use transaction-level pooling with it.
Scientifically, "bugs" refers to hemiptera, not crustaceans.
As for flavor, second hand account indicates that bugs taste like chicken, while first hand account indicates lobster doesn't taste like chicken, at least not to me.
I've had about as many floating point PID implementations running on the attached core of an embedded ASIC as I have fixed point implementations (running fully within the hardware).

Both are useful.
This is a feature. Put a cone down in front of one of these things and you’ve instantly pedestrianized the rest of the road. Easily a net positive.
New car. Small car. Expensive car. And, electric car. I don’t think this is entirely an electric vehicle issue. Interest rates and high prices for small cars seems bad enough. If the specs were the same & it was gas even at a slightly lower price; I doubt VWs are hot sellers. I think this might be trust related too. It was smart for VW to pivot from previous fuel sources they gamed, but how much do you trust the specs now that they’re EVs?

Ethernet hubs were much cheaper than anything else. This was the big win. At that point, the only question was TCP/IP or IPX/SPX (Novell).

You could use Ethernet to hook a couple computers in a room together directly and it worked (mostly). Every other technology required some expensive thing to sit in the middle and direct it all.

Then, when you needed to connect a couple rooms together, you could throw a cable over a wall and hook them together.

Finally, when you got tired of debugging the inevitable continuous failures due to the "idiots in that one room", you threw an Ethernet hub into the mix to hook the rooms together. This was a bit more expensive, but still not as expensive as the idiotic middlebox for the other technologies. And the improvement in reliability and debugging was palpable enough that your boss didn't give you too much static. This was THE big win that other technologies couldn't deal with.

Finally, when you had enough computers that even hubs just weren't cutting it, you bought an Ethernet switch. Yeah, that Ethernet switch was about as expensive as the middlebox from all the other technolgies. However, by now, Moore's Law had been running for a few years so an Ethernet switch was simply expensive rather than outrageous. And you had all this installed Ethernet kit, so your sure as hell weren't going to rip it all out.

At this point, the installed base made sure that Ethernet was going to win.
In my Amazon team, we use PostgreSQL as a queue using skip-locked to implement transactional outbox pattern for our database inserts. People commenting 'just use a queue' are totally missing the need for transactional consistency. I agree with the author, it's an amazing tool and scales quite well.
I used a separate dedicated connection for listen that wasn’t in the pool. Notify is fine to be apart of a normal txn
probably fine just don't drink hot soup/coffee out of it. I've long since switched over to a glass lined beverage container after I found out about microplastics.
There are queues like sqs and google pubsub where there is already official clients written for most popular languages. And they also have http API so you can use it in any language environment that can make http requests.
This app is like 50$?
It's just a headline, theft is in scare quotes, and is mentioned by the plaintiffs. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me as quick summary.
People also ate out less and had more time to cook meals at home instead of eating highly processed foods bought from supermarkets.
DMCA 2024 - A nice big report button for when generated content is too close to copyrighted content. It is then on the AI company to supplement the training materials around that content, to dilute the generation of content that could be seen as infringing. So instead of George RR Martin prequels with the same names and characters (because of a lack of training materials), it generates something more generic for the input prompt.

Win/win?
I have a 23 year old VW Passat. It's rust-free, but the clearcoat had rotted through, so for the fun of it I repainted the car with $150 of Rustoleum with a roller ("Hunter Green" from Home Depot- it should be sprayed, but I don't have a good place to do it and I'm not willing to pay). It looks good, but like a car that has been painted with a roller :-)

What's interesting is that I also have a 13 year old VW CC. This car has major rust problems, it's as if VW forgot the recipe. I think it's partially a water drainage problem since most of the rust is between the door seals.

But yeah, classic Beetles all seem to have the rusted floor pans. I think newer cars coat the floor with bitumen or something, or just have better drainage.
Might be a Pascals wager of sorts but if I'm spending so much $$ on audio equipment why wouldn't I want to remove compression from the equation?
A pedant might point out that "I read an article which I didn't understand" should be written "I read an article that I didn't understand" or "I read an article, which I didn't understand." In this case, the "which" case is appropriate, but the sentence needs a comma. In general, if there is no comma, you should be using "that", and if you are using "which", you need a comma.
LLMs Demand Observability-Driven Development
I would love to see a survey, but my guess of those customers is that streaming is not a viable option. An unfathomably large percentage of the USA still has meager internet connections.
Oof. I forgot how ham fisted nonsense that movie was. Truly garbage and just so popular for a week.
Or, just let people and computers be inspired

Ideas have never been the scope of copyright and it wasn’t in its democratic mandate. If creatives want that change, fine, advocate for a change of the law
Average male height in the US is 5'9" so that may be where the threshold came from.
I’m not positive that’s true though. There’s so much we think about the world that seems to only be an extension of how we experience the world, but can’t be verified at all. Such as the idea that without an “I” as we experience it, there is no meaningful awareness. I’m open to animals having experiences which are different from mine yet still worth something, and generally worth preserving in the way we typically believe we should with, say, a cat or a dog.
This link is not working for me.
> They pass for users who don't want Netflix or have specific apps they cannot part with

That sounds pretty good actually.

Is Netflix only an issue for 32-bit systems since Widevine was discontinued for them?
All of shortwave.com is built on this concept. The super powerful bit here that is the mentioned is that enqueuing jobs is transactional with other normal transactions, so you don’t have to architect around using a different system for the queue and the rest of your data.
you can find a slew of papers about not using plastic in the microwave, for a couple decades now. I mean you can believe what you want, but if you think microplastics in your food is bad then you should be able to find plenty articles in how they leach into your food, especially when they're hot.
The obvious followup question to this line of questioning is whether your proposed mechanism is robust enough to cause a 62% year over year increase. I don’t doubt that the spike protein could damage islet cells, frankly I’m not nearly expert enough to evaluate that claim. Assuming it did, I find it pretty unlikely that it causes this much of an effect. Most medicines intentionally designed to cause specific outcomes would be lucky to have an effect this strong.
I want to test this now heh!
> It's just 3 months.

This is an incredibly long time to be away from your family for many people.

> Before cellphones went mainstream.

Yeah, and before we had antibiotics people would die from simple infections, that doesn’t mean we should “rough it out” or somesuch nonsense.
Plus the quality. I do not think any streaming service offers the same fidelity as a local Blueray.
A package I help maintain was released about a month ago, and we've had bug reports related to this: https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/304#issuecommen...

We simply chose to mark Jest 27 as unsupported in this case, but it did cost some debugging time.
I recommend the book "the glucose revolution" by jessie inchauspe. It is a pretty good book to understand blood sugar, and can go a long way to help you prevent diabetes, manage your energy, cravings and weight.
With current prices this could be a bit of a stretch. A 2 day rental from MIA with Enterprise is $140 for a compact (just checked). I’m sure you can find cheaper but probably no by much. So you are close to $160 all-in with gas and tolls.
Put the information in the context window of the model.

If you're answering questions on current events, hook it up to a news API and let it take in a user query, return a search to you, and give the result back to the LLM before it responds.

Right now LLMs perform best for factual information if you treat them like flexible glue between the user and your data sources. Any knowledge you leverage from the LLM itself should "static" knowledge that can hold true across all user queries.

For example, you can use the LLM's knowledge of marketing to produce marketing copy via chain of thought. Trends in marketing copy can change, but the actual act of making marketing copy takes a static set of knowledge.

_

Don't use the LLM to surface competitors for the product, because one person will ask about 'Coke' and it'll say 'Pepsi', and another will name their founded in 2023 company and it'll hallucinate: especially if you're asking for structured output

Instead let the LLM form some searches, take the results and let the LLM use chain of thought on what defines a competitor, and surface that result
As a non scientific person, I took no offense. Whilst it's fine to point these things out, it's important to remember that people come from different cultures, and often the intent is unlikely to be there to offend.
unless you have proof that the silicone in your drinking container leaches into your drink, then I'm unsure what you're saying has any relevance.
I think it's always going to be an emotional/tribal thing. Some people are wired more socially and get value from the bustle and serendipity of an office, some people prefer to be more alone in their comfort zone.

What do you have in mind for a quantitative assessment?
I feel like Elixir get pushed too hard on people. Makes me skeptical. Same way I feel about TypeScript community. Calm down, it's just a programming language.

I don't believe the programming language matters much. What matters is one's familiarity with it. There are good tools and frameworks available for just about any moderately popular language. Every language has caveats. Every language has lots of pros and cons and when you average them out, they're essentially all the same.

Just a matter of personal preferences and habits.
> The media is so pro-human and anti-robot.

As it should be right since humans are the customer and robots should be serving them.

> I don’t see Cruise EVs making lewd and lascivious comments about women’s bodies or getting gym equipment all sweaty and not wiping up afterward.

What does this have to do with self driving vehicles?

In my opinion, anything that keeps money out of Silicon Valley investors and executives wallets while the edge cases are worked out is ok in my book. Move slow and keep everyone alive.
I use this form of "which" all the time.
I used an 8-bit PIC micro a couple years ago for power applications (think non-IoT lighting). The specific microcontroller we used had nice peripherals for sensing, and controlling diodes, but no FPU. I remember looking into getting something external to handle the PID, but the cost and board layout constraints made it challenging.
> Make PII data property.

No, PII should be treated as toxic, radioactive waste.

If you lose it, you should get MASSIVE fines--multiple years of revenue level massive fines.

This incentivizes companies to not even collect it and to dispose of it promptly. It also places a dollar value on it that is high enough that you have to understand the profit amount that it is worth. You won't collect it "just in case" since there is such a risk associated with holding it.
cool project! Do people really make more than 30 collections? Curious how that became a pricing tipping point
I made countless "boredom orders" that were nothing but junk. I can't be the only one.

It's not accurate. Scientifically, "bugs" refers to hemiptera, not crustaceans. Nomenclature isn't typically determined by the quality of nutrition, nor the economic class to which an animal is fed. But this is interesting, nonetheless.
If a model generates large amounts of text that is very close to something you've written, because there isn't much else like it, how is that "inspired"? It needs more dilution.
And people play chess with computers, use Google Translate, etc. Doing so does not preclude the other. But that really isn't what is being discussed in this thread at all, which is simply whether computers will be able to perform this task or not. From my vantage point, I wouldn't put money against it coming to pass.

As a personal anecdote, the relevance of which just occurred to me, I attended a birthday party recently of regular church going people -- no techies in the crowd. An older gentleman got up and read a story that he had asked ChatGPT to create for the occasion. Everyone was laughing. Perhaps it's a one time novelty. But the average guy may be more accepting of it than we guess.
This wiki is a delightful mine of information! It's also full of humor; as an example, the description for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is:

> Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game in which you rapidly deprive an island of its natural resources in order to craft tools that never stop breaking.

Nice. Prison-positive propaganda. Er...I mean...independent, investigative journalism.

I built https://storypanda.ai a while back to help with storytime with my daugther.. check it out, happy to take feedback.
The actual complaint is about using their copyrighted works in the training of the LLM without a license. OpenAI is claiming it's fair use, the authors disagree. It's going to take a ruling from a judge to get clarity on the issue, and no matter what it'll be appealed until it hits the SC.
And seems like Democrats endorse police overreach when it is targeted against their political opponents, since it is them who are all over this thread saying basically "nothing to hide, nothing to fear". I wonder where all of those are in the typical police threads? ACAB except when cops did something I like, then it is "trust the cops to interpret this correctly!"?

Politics is tiring for that reason, most people lose their rational thinking ability when that gets involved, and to an outsider all of it just looks like insanity.
> It’s more likely to be a function of people not knowing how many calories are in food.

I strongly doubt it. In the UK, they put the amount of calories pretty much everywhere and there is still a obesity problem.
Thanks ! Glad you found it useful !
Considering all of modern entertainment has devolved into a lecture on correctness, yes, staying home and cleaning things up, organizing, and improving our living space does sound like the better option.
In fact? How do you know that?
In the US the two separate building codes, two separate construction industries. This feels like a symptom of that.
Maybe the default should be opt in instead of opt out. Why should copyright holders now have to do work to protect their already protected works?
Maybe it ought to be that way. But we believe in property rights and government confiscation of property isn’t something I support.

Might be the pols manage to find a way to buy the tech to give away freely to the people. Until then it’s theirs to distribute as they please until their exclusive rights expire.
I've looked at user telemetry and the conclusion I've come to is that the only time you can trust is from systems under your control (i.e., submission time).
I see you’ve met my wife…
Staying home and not cleaning seems like the best of both worlds.
If you're willing to expand on this, color me interested.
It’s not really clear the growth has to come in physical (unsustainable forms). The growth can be ephemeral as the currency inflates. I’m not arguing this is what is actually occurring.
My dinner is breakfast then!
Theft is the word used by their lawyers. Seems fair to use in the title. The differences between theft and copyright infringement isn't important in this case anyway.

Either way, it will be interesting to see how this goes. Lots of weird arguments on both sides, so it will be interesting to see what rulings we get.
It's an activity with a measurable standard of success which positively improves your life and provides a small but noticeable amount of exercise.

I mean my idea of a good time is the same thing but with home improvement, which doesn't seem much different. You put up some shelves, those shelves are put up.
Bad psilocybin mushroom trips are similarly common as bad LSD trips.
I think this is the only time I've read the word "database" and thought "blockchain might be a superior solution".

One could imagine replacing proof of work or whatever the "confirmation" process is with some sort of testing or peer review consensus protocol that would append reviewed code to the chain.

A blockchain contains a full history of all modificiations, which sounds a bit like version control if you look at it funny.
Joe was such a creative thinker, and he was never (that I could tell) embarrassed by the prospect of an idea of his proving to be a poor one, so it was always interesting to hear him talk.

Genuinely curious, thinking outside the box (writing a new programming language on top of Prolog?), and he treated people with utmost respect. I was a nobody lucky enough to escort him around Chicago one day when he was attending a conference, and we spent a couple of hours talking about art, Erlang, Riak, and man I wish I could remember what else.
Diabetes is complex and a simplistic jump to "Covid directly causes Diabetes" is very likely incorrect.

From the article itself:

Diabetes risk factors may have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic including limited physical activity, increased sedentary behaviors, sleep disturbances, and increased intake of processed foods.

and note that diabetes has increased in very specific groups, not generally at the same rate across everybody that caught Covid.

For a comprehensive picture of multifactor incidence of diabetes see, say, this Australian health release:

https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/diabetes/diabetes/contents/t...

lots of graphs showing incidence against age, sex, socioeconimcs, etc.

Neat project. I'd really like to author plain AsciiDoc on an e-paper display without distractions.

On one of your earlier commits (https://github.com/rberenguel/PiWrite/commit/c23bfdccd43e1c5...), you mentioned using a Pico W. There may be an avenue for that. A few days ago I submitted my Raspberry Pi Pico W Host MQTT Numpad project to Hacker News, but unfortunately it didn't gain any traction. https://gitlab.com/baiyibai/pico-w-usb-host-mqtt-numpad. I detail some of the developments on USB Host mode. There doesn't seem to be native MicroPython support for USB Host mode yet. I did find a project which seems to to load the pico-pio-sdk as a library and use a GamePad for input: https://github.com/danjperron/pico4legsBot

Also, about a year, I wrote down some of the requirements for an e-paper RPI Pico-based e-ink writer in a comment. I wanted to dub mine, 'the microWrite', 'μWrite', 'uWrite', or 'you write' https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32092930.

I suppose the question is whether it is feasible to adapt PiWrite to run in MicroPython. The next question is whether one could ditch the webserver-based approach and interface an e-paper screen directly to the RP2040. Waveshare offers MicroPython libraries for their e-paper displays. This might offer better latency.
Two points:

1. Alumnimum stimulates immunity to recently-exposed antigens. So why wouldn't it stimulate asthmatic immunity too?

2. This study doesn't look at any other immune-boosters (adjuvants). While aluminum may promote spleen-based allergies like asthma the most, other adjuvants may boost liver-based allergies like food allergies more.
I'm not arguing that it isn't a negligible percentage of Netflix's profit, I'm arguing that this is a service with high demonstrated demand and it's a shame to see it shut down despite that demand.
It’s not as good as elevenlabs and probably not worth most listeners time. I would wait a year or so for further improvements.
This is just not true. Plenty of people who explicitly count calories still struggle to lose weight.
'computer' scare quotes

EDIT: i just asked an ai and it said that single quotes are a british-ism?
1) It has almost immediate reward. So, it provides strong satisfaction.

2) It's a private pleasure. The doing, and the outcome can both be internally justified. I have no doubt much of it is done for approbation by others.

3) There are good indications cleaning, being motivated to clean, are signs of a healthy mental outlook. You can be quentin crisp and say "after the first 5 years the dust stops moving" and still be fine, but it's more usual to be in a mental decline. People are not stupid, they pick up on these clues.

I don't think very much "cleaning for sex" actually happens.
Isn’t that what paragraphs 5-9 are about?
If you've been time poor for a long time, just being able to take the time to de-cruddify your living space is a luxury.
Yes, even a small microdose can inhibit recall. That’s not to say it’s not worth the trade off.
Who Owns the Most Satellites?
It appears this lawsuit is complaining that ChatGPT can write fan fiction and they don't like that.

I was onboard initially thinking we were talking about OpenAI ingesting Game Of Thrones as training material, but it appears George et al are just mad because it can make stories with their characters.

This is far from the authorship/copyright problem of AI.
Agreed. However the virus is relatively new as are the vaccines. We are still in the process of getting longitudinal information. The introduction of the spike protein does coincide with the dramatic rise of diabetes. You are correct this may not be the reason however it is still quite plausible that this is a largest contributing factor.

Or, you know, git. It’s version control, distributed, and doesn’t need multiple power plants dedicated to its existence.
