I don't have any of my old economics notes nor the market reports I have read on hand but generally it's natural monopolies that have competition introduced, these are not particularly good analogue for software but they do have similarities with social media and mapping applications. Competition is generally good for consumers who are engaged but it's a means to an end. It is not good for its own sake.

Markets where competition works really well are elastic and have consumers with the appropriate amount of engagements from the consumers.
Same could be said about headphones, yet here we are.

I don't know anyone who would want this.

Nobody wants to be around someone in social situations who might be surreptitiously filming them. Wearing glasses with a camera on them is a great way to be labelled a creep by everyone around you.
The license is a wedge that's destroying the meaning of open source, it's worth complaining about, and it's evil to have done it that way. I would have preferred a commercial license that was at least honest instead of a scorched earth ecosystem takeover like they've done. In a sense it's an extension of the big tech "provide something notionally free that's too good not to use and use it to destroy competition" model.

I am wondering how they will build out Wifi-Index for positioning(GPS sucks in cities) assuming they want to do location based targetting for any number of purposes(ads, recommendations, location based geo-fencing etc). The critical piece for attribution is linking Wifi based position to a PoI(for location based anything).
This takes a few years to build. Google has a great map blue dot has good fidelity with location because they have a phone collecting all that Wifi data for many years..

> There's a lot of people expending time here trying to absolutely minimize the OP's effort and contribution.

I don't really understand that either. Someone found a problem, researched it, found and tested a solution, voluntarily offered a patch, and everyone wants to pretend that it was nothing? "It was only x lines", "it was a simple/trivial patch to an obscure project", "It wasn't done in the exact way they wanted it". What is wrong with some people! It was a bug that was reported years ago but nobody took the time to fix it. This guy put in the work and delivered, which in the end is what matters.
I often wonder this too, but... I think making "another Google" is not the best example.

I think it's hard to argue (although some people clearly did) that making a search engine is easy. You need to index all of Internet, cache it maybe too, rank stuff, filter out spam, work over different languages, do something about images, parse a lot of (broken) HTML, maybe run some js to figure out what a dynamic page should show, then serve it up super quickly... google is faster than pinging a local (!) NFS server at my work.

But then I remember a comparison on HN about how booking.com is O(50) people and Airbnb is O(2000) total. Or I remember the total headcounts at Twitter, an app that lets you post very short messages.

Or LinkedIn, a vast company with a very subpar UX, basically an inferior clone of a dozen of other social networking sites, only kept afloat by its network/monopoly effect. I mean, searching for people by name barely works! You're better off using Google to look for people on LI that its own search box!

No doubt it's just my cognitive limitation, like I can't visualize the vastness of the Cosmos, but this is a close second.

I'm not familiar with EU law but as a US consumer, I don't think that's fair. They're far from perfect but they try. We have entire agencies that exist to protect consumers in specific areas. The SEC being a famous one. Their entire mission is to protect investors from getting scammed. That's why congress created and funds the SEC. That's why those thousands of people go to work every day. To protect us from getting scammed. Awesome. I'm thankful for it.

The context here is one particular type of fucking over the customer. The ways in which monopolies can abuse their power. Within that one specific type, what you said is probably accurate.
I actively use llama.cpp and I don't find lack of mention of it as a slight -- it isn't directly affiliated with Meta. While there is tremendous innovation in the project, backwards compatibility is antithetical to the project's culture. I have been updating my models to GGUF, which isn't terrible, but I find I have to invest too much time to stay on top of the rapid, scorched-earth developments. Going to move to containerized checkpoints, as I do for my GPU models, for greater maintainability and consistency.
Sometimes, but lets not pretend that the other 90% couldn't also be "luck," or something like "exclusive access," etc.
Because I have never had to do it. All projects I’ve worked on the last decade were on github or gitlab. And prior to that on subversion and mercurial we just would merge branches locally. Back in the 1990s I used sourcesafe which had file locking checkouts and when I used sccs I was the only contributor.
I wish they'd document the cut-off date properly.

The seamlessness of glasses is really what makes this even possible, especially now that voice is becoming a seamless interface.

I largely like my phone to remain in my pocket (especially when I’m with my impressionable kids) and bringing it out and unlocking, getting my brain to ignore all the notifications, going through whatever button routine is required, then doing the camera localization dance, just doesn’t compare to one click + voice narration once it’s built right.

I have had the chagrin of watching almost every example of bad ethics we delved into in my "Ethics of Computer Science" coursework become the basis of multi trillion dollar companies within the last decade or so.

Might as well have called that course "Forecast of the next decade and a half's highest paying jobs". In fact, if anything, this has led to a massive loss in faith on my part in our system being in any way incetivized to select for ethical behavior.
Clearly this other way is failing terribly in SF.

No one in power has any interest in upending the entire US penal system, I understand this upsets you. The reality is those people won't be helped in the way you want maybe ever.

I don't agree that letting otherwise law abiding average people suffer the consequences because of that is okay.

I also don't see people taking the needed action to make these changes you want. For all the extreme positions of complete reform that I see they only come to me online in talk.

I'm a moderate I really don't share the passion, but if I did I'd be taking more physical action to enact it than I see.

It's such a strange experience since the pandemic encountering folks like you and some sibling commenters, who, because a few people in their immediate social group, "seem fine", dismiss the outcomes of millions who died, or struggle with Long COVID, or all the accumulating science documenting the post-acute conditions this virus causes. Other viruses cause post-acute complications too, so it's not even new, but for this virus people really need to put it in the box of 'what me worry?' for some reason. Three years ago I would've expected different from the educated and generally cynical/skeptical HN crowd, but no longer I guess.

The author took probably the dumbest and most egregious instance of this ("I can replace google with lucene!") and completely sidesteps the legit discussion that often happens in the face of this absurdity. Why does it take hundreds of facebook engineers to make instagram completely nonfunctional, when the original company had created a nice product with a dozen engineers? Seems like the answer is in the ulterior motives of the company, and the centralization and decline of the internet in general. But it still feels absolutely absurd on the outside looking in and the underlying reasons are somewhat interesting, though usually not technical.

There are reasonable discussions of this sort, but the example OP goes on about is kind of a straw man. Just because anyone can go on the internet and say anything ("I'll build google in a weekend!") doesn't mean it needs a whole rebuttal that takes it seriously.

edit: just realized this was 2016. a purer time.
> only a one token error to have code that doesn't compile, execute, throws exceptions, or to be wrong in some serious way

This was also true in the early days of cars, planes and—for that matter—computers. Most coding, even today, doesn’t require a full-fledged engineer.

In terms of hardware sales, yeah. But I agree I’m not sure the users stuck around.

It feels almost like a fad. It was in the right place at the right time by being available when people were in lockdown early in the pandemic. And it sold out, which of course increased demand more.

But three years later, things don’t feel that different from 1/1/2020. It feels like that wave came and went without any long term change in things.

Sensory pollution is just as bad as physical pollution, probably even worse. You can get people behind picking up litter and not burning tires.

Why use an installer at all in this day and age? A lot can be customized in the browser nowadays before download. Or tweaked after download/execution. Or use a build script (if technical audience). Or just isn't needed.

I think the last installer I used was probably the Linux Mint/Ubuntu live CD installer?, But other than that I don't think I've seen an installer for a couple years. Albeit I'm in the Linux ecosystem now so maybe that's why

It is literally takes 20 min on my PC to prepare multilanguage corpus and train BPE+sentencepiece tokenizer with fairseq. You have all the documentation in there. If you do not know how to use these tools, does not mean they are not there. You literally do not need to edit anything.
This is a wonderful idea for iOS Shortcuts. Though after the second shortcut - I gave up. The onboarding flow of email > get pdf > click link in pdf > download first shortcut > run first shortcut > first shortcut downloads second shortcut > then a bountiful settings pallete, with an insane amount of settings is just too much.

I think you'd be better off putting the scaffolding into a proper iOS app with AppIntents. This onboarding flow is (forgive me) awful, but I understand why you want it to be this way. I also think with AppStore's recent rejections you can't BYOK either, which really messes with your business model.

Email is open, happy to help you with this - I think it's what we want, just not how we need it.

Btw: I already have a shortcut directly hooked into openAI's endpoint, it's wonderful as is. The other 'modes' I would love to try.
The installation process is quite complicated to be honest.
I know this is due to shortcuts, but, creating an account, then wait for a link, to get a PDF on mobile, to install it... what a drag.
A sort of build the thing approach, then worry about all the complexity that comes with scale.
"The paper linked is also only an estimate using a different source of data."

It's perfectly suitable and it looks like one of the better out-of-the box solutions out there that respect user privacy. If I don't have any SBCs and just want something that works without fiddling, I'd likely go for Hubitat too.

That said if you're up for fiddling, something like https://www.amazon.ca/Waveshare-VisionFive2-Processor-Integr... will provide much more oopmh (and it's RISC-V) with 4GB ram and m2 slot, at $100 CAD, with mainline kernel support (so any USB devices will just work). Grab a zigbee USB + SBC like that, and you'd be able to run much more on your hub that just a gateway for your devices.

A brief skim of the paper also suggests that the data are from different means of measurement. In the case of measurements from the 60s, those came from infrared and visible light, whereas from the 70s on its passive microwave. The paper is proposing a method to use the old data as passive microwave, and thereby extending the sea ice record.

So is OP's comparison still valid? (Assuming I'm not completely off base here.)

The testing cycle was the biggest pain, this was right as VirtualBox had become a thing so at least starting with a fresh system was slightly easier. (The entire company had 4 engineers + some researchers).

This is a clear sign of a badly designed language. You should never see a fixed-size (less than page size) allocation fail, simply because there's nothing you can reasonably do if it does fail. Either you should crash or it should block until it is possible again.

(Where crash means a worker process or something limited to something less than the entire system. See Erlang for the logical extension of this.)

I realize this implies Windows and Java are badly designed and my answer to that is "yes".
