Worst thing is, you have little choice. In my case:

- There's approximately zero non-SaaS robot vacuums among the newer models. I gave up on this after a long search for something free of this insanity.

- With my A/C unit and thermostats, the brand and model choice was made by the people doing the installations. I'm not sure if there are non-cloud, network-controllable options anymore, and even if they were, I'd have to look for local HVAC companies that actually offer them.

- I spent much more time and money than is reasonable to have a fully-local networked baby cam, that doesn't leak videos to the cloud. Specifically, I had to buy a camera and two pieces of expensive network gear from Ubiquity (per HN advice, thank you), because that's apparently the only option in Europe (US folks have Amcrest), other than hacking something together from a spare Android phone, or webcams and Raspberry Pi. There's literally no other cloud-bullshit-free option I could find.

(The "baby cam" is at least made of professional, high-quality gear, so that's a silver lining, but I doubt normal people would be happy to spend €500+ just to keep the video stream in-house.)
The audio is really terrible, but he says that the cancer is being managed and that he will be around for many more years. I am glad to hear that.

Before that, he talks about covid and long covid. But I couldn't tell if he says that he has long covid now. I know that he was being pretty careful to avoid covid, to the extent that's possible while travelling on planes as much as he does. I had some discussions with him about N95 mask fitting and testing.

Can anyone tell from the video if he still has the big beard? That interferes badly with mask seals. I never had such a bushy beard myself, but before the pandemic I was lax about shaving and often had some beard growth. I keep it clean now so that masks will work better,

Anyway, I hope he beats the cancer and stays healthy and active.
>Rose noted that the company seems to have accelerated its offerings of dried foods and other survivalist goods at a time when worries about the future are running high

>For example, the company markets a 150-serving emergency food preparedness kit that could come in handy, you know, just in case. Gold meshes with that type of product.

>“They’ve done their market research. I think it’s a very clever way to get their name in the news and have some great publicity

This is the crux of the trend. I actually pick up one of these food preparedness kits every time I make a trip to Costco. They have a 25 year shelf life and have 25 servings of food. At $60 each (in the store, the online price is higher for some reason), that's the cheapest insurance policy I can think of, I'll take it.

But really they are cashing in on the growing sense of uncertainty about the future that many Americans are feeling.

I think JAX is cool, but I do find it slightly disingenuous when it claims to be "numpy by on the GPU" (as opposed to PyTorch), when actually there's a fundamental difference; it's functional. So if I have an array `x` and want to set index 0 to 10, I can't do:

x[0] = 10

Instead I have to do:

y = x.at[0].set(10)

Of course this has advantages, but you can't then go and claim that JAX is a drop in replacement for numpy, because this such a fundamental change to how numpy developers think (and in this regard, PyTorch is closer to numpy than JAX).
A switched port learns the Mac address for packets sent into it. If port 1 sends a packet with Mac a, the switch associates that address (a) to port 1. When another node sends a packet onto another port with the same mac, say on port 2, the switch will move the learned address a to port 2 and remove it from port 1.

When a switch has learned a mac address all traffic destined to that traffic would be immediately switched to that port. If the switch has no record for that specific mac address it floods all ports except the ingress port. This is expensive and means other devices receive traffic that isn't intended for them so they waste time dropping it.

So in networks that have no protections against those attacks then this could very well be a problem if there are multiple access points and the two nodes are on different access points.

Then you should know that people have been frequently mentioning Reddit since 2009, which is why it's even mentioned in the guidelines.
This is a bit too navel-gazing delve into what was more succinctly said in a quote often attributed to Reiner Knizia: “When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning.”

I’d also recommend the author delve into the existing catalog of negotiation games, since the linked post in the top of this article seems to indicate that they aren’t be aware some of the brilliant games in the genre:

* Cosmic Encounter - Players play one of several wildly unbalanced alien races with a special power and are forced into a series of confrontations where they must either battle or negotiate. One of the few games I’ve played where 1 to N players can win (and I’ve seen cooperative wins before). The game revolves almost entirely around negotiation (with your matched opponent, with other players at the table as potential allies, etc)

* John Company - A wild simulation of running the British East India Trading company. Players hold different positions within the company providing different privileges and effectively must negotiate to better their position. Players can also work to undermine the company at the expense of those more invested in it, or can hedge against the company’s failure.

* Quo Vadis? - Players are Roman politicians who must move their senators through a series of committees, to the inner sanctum, where the player with the most prestige wins. Moving through committees occurs through votes, and prestige can be obtained through voting (as an incentive provided by the game) for others or by negotiating more prestige.
Yeah! Back in the day, the Rhino implementation of JavaScript had serialisable continuations on top of the JDK. I wrote a workflow engine with them.

There are some interesting challenges:

- deserialising them into the same environment

- hooking in dependencies

- for time independence, how do you fix a bug on a process that has been running for 2 weeks and has got 2 more to go

Azure stateful functions solved this by instead of serialising the stack, they just start the process from scratch and then replay every external request / response back into them until they get the process back to its last instruction.
It was. "Don't be evil" was their motto, since it no longer is means that it was phased out. The GP is wrong on the following motto which, IIRC, was/is "Do the right thing".
As a start, artificial life will be much better in withstanding harsh environments. No need fo breathable air, quite a temperature tolerance, … .

So with accelerating climate change humanity makes itself obsolete already over the next decades. Stop that first, everything else pales in comparison.
You’re right, I see that as embarrassingly trivial. This whole thread is inane — if using a simple API is “amazing engineering”, what do you call the actual amazing engineering you’re holding in your hand right now?

I have nothing against Flighty — this has nothing to do with Flighty. Background notifications are trivial and all apps can and should be using them to solve this type of problem. It’s detrimental to have folks mistakenly operating under the belief that this is complex, unusual, or difficult.

Sure, the payload size is limited, but it’s not impossibly small, and custom keys with arbitrary payload are explicitly and obviously documented as supported.

Overly-effusive praise doesn’t do anyone any favors.
Please don’t do this more often than once every few months. If they come to rely on you, when you inevitably move on there will be a mass die off that can be directly attributed to your actions. Keep wildlife wild, fed is dead.

Highest Paid Person’s Opinion, I believe.

You know the ones, they drop in towards the end of a complex cross functional discovery process and say something like “but it should do it like…” or “can’t you just…”

And some of the time they’re right, but the reason they’re right is because they created an organisation without delegated authority and autonomy, and tasked a team with creating change that also didn’t have authority. Which reinforces their view that micromanaging and not delegating authority is the only way to operate effectively because their team just doesn’t come up with the right answers ever.
I'd rather pay for 'does not collect and sell your data. Does not play advertisements, is not remotely operable or accesible by anyone but the owner'

Sadly the market goes 100% full steam in the opposite direction.

Yeah, I guess. Not sure if that's a reason for not considering splitting a company that's obviously too big, though.
It's not. They don't even release full schematics of boards.
I've been thinking about this.

People invest/collect gold like this and it clearly only profitable for the people who buy and sell gold who charge you to do both.

I also think it's a hobby. Like people collect this or coins or stamps or Pokémon cards. I think as far as things to spend your time on for entertainment, you loose the lease amount on this compared to collecting other things or spending the time you spend on this entertainment doing another form of entertainment.

It's not investment unless your scrooge mcduck and have a big gold factory, it's really entertainment like collecting baseball cards.
In 2022 alone, central banks purchased 1,136 tons of gold[1]. The us government holds over $500b in gold[2]. Gold is still valuable as a reserve asset because it’s highly liquid, demanded by every economy, and has low inflation. Central banks frequently do settle balances between each other by transferring gold (often just involve moving the gold from one part of a warehouse in London to another part). Gold hasn’t gone away, and it’s not fading out either.

To spell out what the linked ISPC post implies, most of the difference, like ISPC shows, is differences in GPU languages and compilers vs CPU side equivalents.
A couple days ago I was admiring the heavy aluminum pan I was throwing out because of nonstick coating issues.

Over a hundred years ago, that pan would have been something only for the most wealthy in the world.

Only a matter of time before the same happens to gold
I like that Perth Mint considers "Australian legal tender" a feature of a $6,000 coin
Cool to see this but I am always surprised how often LLM output is used to train other LLMs. They used gpt3.5 turbo and gpt4 for multiple tasks. Even simple translation of englisch benchmarks and writing German poems to train on, in order to create an LLM that works better in German?
AFAIK, this still goes against OpenAI TOS and also the basic idea that training on AI output leads to worse results in general. Was there some major shift in this over the years, or has it simply become the default approach due to it being easy to do?
Also nice to finally see something from Hessian.AI, as a local, I heard them talk big more than once but never saw results. I wonder what Aleph Alpha thinks about this, since they want to make "AI made in Europe to challenge OpenAI"
How is the KiCAD format more open than LibrePCB? Both are custom formats using S-expressions.

The thing is that while the files look similar superficially, LibrePCB has a lot of differing library concepts: https://librepcb.org/features/library-concept/ Just as an example, LibrePCB has UUIDs for _everything_. That makes conversion from/to KiCAD more difficult.
> There are initiatives to freeze whole JVMs, and bring them back in RAM when there's an HTTP call to be answered for example [3].

There used to be a research JVM from a group called Velare that did exactly this. It was very cool. It was almost like watching 2 programs have a conversation with each other, with the back and forth of information passing.
Porting existing codes is still a massive effort and there is low faith in long-term support from Google based software and hardware. I’m not aware on much (any) TPU use in scientific HPC.
Something I like about India is they actually use gold, unlike many other gold purchasers.

India is a great source for beaten leaf gold - you can buy "books" of hand beaten tissue thin gold which is useful both for gilding idols and for other craftwork (eg: glassblowing).
Out of the box it seems to generate very long "Schachtelsätze". I wonder how english models manage to avoid this (system prompt? different training material mix?).

That said: similar to other large language models you can get it to generate different styles of text.

For example "antworte auf Wienerisch" did change the writing style.

we might end up trusting AI to auto-matchmake for us, seeing as human decision making is not producing the outcomes that we want. However, there is a disincentive for Bumble and other match making platforms to actually make this work - successful pairings means loss of revenue - so chances of this problem ever being 'fixed' is remote. Perhaps we might end up with a 'success fee' model, similar to how staffing agencies operate?
We train a LLM classifier using a HN dataset and a Reddit dataset to automatically flag the Reddit like comments.

People can then decide to hide them in their settings.

I’m not sure when to put the cut-off date for the HN dataset. The eternal September started in 1993 and HN in 2007, we need at least a few comments.
The Redditization is real this time though. Just because something wasn’t true previously doesn’t mean it continues to be that way.
