Public transit has problems too. It's often more difficult for people with disabilities and/or children.

Also, we'll have to tear down the majority of the houses in the US, and build new ones in an arrangement that allows for bus lines to have sufficient passenger density to be less polluting than cars.

EVs are better than ICE cars for the environment and public health in every way possible. Also, there's an incremental path forward that we can take right now.

I wish there was better public transit in the US. Heck; I wish California would just mandate minimum density for new development near transit stations, and also auto-approve any compliant permit applications for housing in those areas (bypassing local zoning reviews, etc, etc.)

Sadly, that won't happen while the current generation of politicians is around.

Around here, they're mostly focusing on blocking construction, narrowing roads and cutting transit options. I think they're doing it to further prop up housing costs in wealthy neighborhoods.
I spent time in the US military many years ago. From my sample size of one:

1) This is population bias and self-selection. Everyone I met in the service was extremely patriotic and wanted to succeed in everything. Many came from desperately poor backgrounds and saw the service as their way to the middle class. Those who joined for other reasons were quickly forced out. At the time, when people asked me what my job was in the military, I joked that I was a "bullet stopper". I was joking but I honestly believed everyone in my team would take a bullet for each other.

2) Funding is questionable. Military pay is a joke. Many of the enlisted I knew received food stamps and WIC (women infant children supplement monies to feed themselves). The housing is old, probably contain asbestos and lead, mold etc. But at least its warm. Probably most important there was almost zero theft, burglaries, or crime you see in troubled cities. Healthcare is almost free.

3) Teaching. The military does things by the book. Many books. Thousands of pages. Most of which is bull shit. The military makes up for it through sheer determination.

4) Racial integration. Hmmmm. The US military at least has a huge problem with racism, sexism, all kinds of isms. Sexual assault is a taboo subject that happens under the surface and commanders at all levels are at their wit's end. If my daughter wanted to join the US military, I would actively encourage her and secretly worry that she would be sexually assaulted. I would try to warn her indirectly and tell her things like don't go to private parties. Drink only in a public setting with a designated person looking out for trouble. The service is an honor but also has its own problems.
It's insanely expensive to run and operate "AI". Meredith Whittaker's talk on AI is very insightful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amNriUZNP8w
Are you really terminaling right if you're not using green text on a black background?
For years people have essentially made a living off FUD like "ignore the literal legal agreement and imagine all the worst case scenarios!!!" to justify absolutely farcical on-premise deployments of a lot of software, but AI is starting to ruin the grift.

There are some cases where you really can't afford to send Microsoft data for their OpenAI offering... but there are a lot more where some figurehead solidified their power by insisting the company build less secure versions of public offerings instead of letting their "gold" go to a 3rd party provider.

As AI starts to appear as a competitive advantage, and the SOTA of self-hosted lagging so ridiculously far behind, you're seeing that work less and less. Take Harvey.ai for example: it's a frankly non-functional product and still manages to spook top law firms with tech policies that have been entrenched for decades into paying money despite being OpenAI based on the simple chance they might get outcompeted otherwise.
Dude, this all day long. In this era to have blackouts is just ridiculous when consumers are willing to hand you wads of cash for your content.

I think those problems should be solved and battery technologies further developed, and broad adoption would increase the incentive to invest in tackling those issues.

No matter how well developed public transit may or may not become across the nation, we're still going to need private transit.

That’s a total misreading of what 12 factor is about.

All it means is to let someone else (other than the program itself) figure out how to get the log messages (whatever you decide they should be) from your process (running wherever it is) to wherever you want to have those logs for inspection.

Do not hardcode into your application the assumption that they are written to a file or sent to a port.

In your application, write them to stdout.

In local dev, stdout will probably go to an interactive console. In a container running in a cloud hosted cluster it will probably go to a networked log aggregator that collects it all into an indexed time oriented data store along with other logs from other running instances.

Because you used stdout, that’s easy to do.

If you wrote them to a file whose name your application manages and changes itself to manage log rotation… either of those is hard to do.
this is a better review of the laptop than I would have gotten from the real review!
> Most Linux contributions are made by multi-billions companies like IBM/Redhat.

The source code is published on the internet under the GPL. Anyone who doesn't like any of their contributions can take that one out and keep any of the others. Do you expect the Kali Linux people to include a backdoor?

> To make Linux not lawful, you would have to create your own kernel with your own altered drivers, except you can't modify binaries.

You can in fact modify binaries, it's just more work. For one person, once. Although that's fairly irrelevant because there exists hardware that doesn't require binary-only drivers.

> How would you know that the commercial CPU is not phoning home through the Intel Management Engine?

You install a firewall in front of it to detect or prevent this. Also, because it can be so easily detected and would be a scandal, it's very likely to be public knowledge if any commercial hardware in widespread use actually did this.
If you had 50 invocations every second and your execution time was 2 seconds, would you set it to 100? If that's the case, you would multiply the invocations per second by the process time.

Well, (in my non-material science engineer mind) you can use forced surface area as an approximation of the theoretical maximum torque that can be applied. The Robertson surfaces are not perpendicular to turning force and has less surface area at the outermost part of the screw. Thus I’d estimate that offset cruciform is superior in that regard.

On the other hand, the Roberson might be cheaper to produce and have sufficient torque for a particular application so Torq-set might be overkill.

Do you have any sources for your claim that there are always US Navy personnel on JSDF ships?
Yes. For instance, at an early stage company I co-founded, we saw 409A of 10% of the most recent priced round.
So this is just the very begining? Will they be able to decypher whole docs? I guess you wouldn't have written all that otherwise!

Anyway, if there's religion involved, I doubt any revelation will shake anything.
Maybe every car should have a tracker, camera, and audio mic feeding back to the police, just in case someone in some car somewhere is driving drunk and talking about it. Then we can immediately dispatch an officer. Also, it’ll be easy to track stolen cars right? You might even catch other crimes, so it’s like a win-win-win, right?

Does that seem reasonable? If not, then phone scanning probably is not reasonable either.
Yep, quality over quantity. The difference between 99.9% accurate and 99.999% accurate can be ridiculously valuable in so many real world applications where people would apply LLMs.

Only Big Tech (Microsoft,Google,Facebook) can crawl the web at scale because they own the major content companies and they severly throttle the competition's crawlers, and sometimes outright block them.

I am still an individual in this world with rights no matter how much "the internet" feels that isn't true.

Reference the current legislation being put in place around the world regarding privacy as proof that I am not in the minority here.

Also it did work exactly like that since reddit allowed me to delete said content and and chose to stop posting or interacting with reddit.

Could there be a copy my reddit history out there somewhere?
Sure.

Do I have an issue with that?
Nope.

Would I have an issue with that if that copy was held by reddit and they still trained LLMs or sold it to ad companies?
Yes and I'm sure I also have legal standing on that backed by my government.

Thanks for the link to a graph, I suppose that is a pretty big drop relative to previous years. I wonder what the trend will be in the future.

I hope they don't make the ACT easier as compensation. I feel that the ACT is almost "too easy" already. For example, I would not consider myself academically talented (graduated mid tier public university with 3.5 GPA in electrical engineering), but I was able to get a 34 ACT after doing 6 practice tests. Also keep in mind that you can retake the ACT or SAT as many times as you desire. Thus, I feel like it looses its predictive qualities due to being so easy to score highly (if you prepare for it).
>if you can program well enough, then you can write great software quickly

No? Doing things the right, robust way regularly takes more time and effort than doing it the quick and dirty way, which means your lazy coworker gets the management attention and raise instead of you.

For the vast majority of software developers, the correct career choice is just to always be making your manager's life easier, and they rarely care about "doing things the right way", especially when whatever you write will be replaced in five years because someone somewhere is too lazy to understand the current codebase.
Haha alright, I can turn off flirting by default for the next update. And how late in the afternoon did it suggest for a lunch?

The improvements seem to be leveling off already. GPT-4 isn't really worth the extra price to me. It's not that much better.

What I would really want though is an uncensored LLM. OpenAI is basically unusable now, most of its replies are like "I'm only a dumb AI and my lawyers don't want me to answer your question". Yes I work in cyber. But it's pretty insane now.

It's not so much that it's that he wants to follow the game as it goes as far as stats go. How many completions, ints, etc.

For me I don't care so I just don't watch the game for 30 minutes or so and that's perfect. But there is no way to do what he wants without watching in real time.

Miserable though for me.
12 factor does not say ‘don’t use a logging library’

Use a logging library. Configure it to output well formed and categorized log messages to stdout. Let the runtime environment take that stream of data from there.
Any chance you've tried the tldraw plugin? https://github.com/holxsam/tldraw-in-obsidian

Would love a review if you have one!
It probably doesn't do the stereo image though, right? That was the coolest part. You need a VR device to see it properly but it really adds to the photo.
Just so I understand, you are saying that the entire concept of the 12 factor app is bogus because it tells you to write unformatted logs to stdout because anything you write to stdout is by its very nature unformatted because even if you're outputting formatted data something else in your program might decide to concurrently write into your stdout buffer while you're writing a log line and that will corrupt your entire data stream irreparably?
I'm not complaining about anything (other than the article, but not because they want to sell their software).

But is a fact that a lot of companies that want to straddle both sides of the fence, the open side is kinda crap. It's also true that a lot is not crap, but so what?

Another random example I happen to be familiar with, a long time ago a company essentially took over hylafax, and what do you know, ever since then the open parts got practically no useful or valuable advancement, and ifax commercialized such trivial to implement but end user valuable nicities as being able to associate a fax job with a db record. hylafax+ was forked and has been the good useful version ever since.

ifax didn't really hurt anyone since the fork was possible and actually happened, and has been great, but they didn't help either. they provide essentially no value to the open source ecosystem in trade for their ownership and commercialization of hylafax. I don't know if they ever tried to write a blog post like this one though. If not, then they were at least more honest, ish. It's not that honest to claim to be managing and caring for some open source project, while for some mysterious reason not accepting prs for features that compete with ones you sell in your commercial version of the same thing, for 20 years.

From some first-hand experience over the last few months… these suggestions and patch will help prevent a single client from overwhelming an NGINX server, but it will do little to stop even a modest botnet from generating enough requests to be a problem. Keeping some state on IPs and downgrading those that exceed limits to HTTP/1.1 I believe is the only effective defense. Tuning those thresholds to get them right is… challenging.

I read this and think "That won't last long".

The pricing is too good to be true with you think about it rationally. If they raise prices they seem much, much less attractive than using AWS or Azure.

Amazon seem to have a much better business built around their Bedrock offering. And all their other tools are available there like SageMaker, ec2, integration with MLFlow, etc, etc.

I guess the same goes for Azure, if you are already using it it's much easier to just stick with whatever they are offering for LLM Ops.

OpenAI offering just models doesn't seem like it can last forever, and to compete with AWS or Azure at enterprise level they need to build all the things Amazon/MS have built.

The other side of that coin seems much more realistic.
I don't have any ML experience but I don't see what is wrong with it. To me it seems like the equivalent of someone self teaching software development. As long as they are interested and doing a good job there background shouldn't matter much.
Yes, in my experience rural areas around bases tend to be more well-off than rural areas not around bases -- the base stimulates the local economy quite a bit, if nothing else. (Otoh, the revolving door population is not great for stability.)

But FWIW I do not think the effect is even close to strong enough to explain the results in the article.
I like to act like I'm about to start crossing and only stop at the last possible moment in these cases. That way at least 50% of the time they or someone else in the car freaks out.

ASK HN :Problems with 3rd party code integrations
This is a high level query, I want to learn from the developers here about their experience with 3rd party code integrations.
These can be working with open source projects or commercial APIs/SDKs.
I have worked on multiple 3rd party integrations in the past including Payments, Fintech, E-commerce, security , AI and analytics from a product/business perspective.
The problems that I saw developers working on these were poor documentation, getting lost in trial and errors, miscommunication between dev teams, errors in security implementation, version related issues, connectivity related problems.
Do share your experience.

> Measures against auto theft are well established to have brought down incidence of robbery, because it makes it harder to get a getaway car.

Measures against theft are driven by the market because car buyers don't want their cars to be stolen. Some incidental effect on getaway cars is nothing they had an obligation to provide.

And it's questionable whether that is even true, because anyone could just steal an older car or different make with no such anti-theft features, or use their own car and steal someone else's license plate.
Ah, thanks for clarifying… I assumed nerve signals travel at the speed of light and the person responding to me was being sarcastic!

Python is their forte, JS is okay. Rust is a mess, they don't get borrowing.

The best so far was early chatgpt4 but it has since been nerfed down considerably.

It's good to get ideas and for writing algorithms you are too lazy to google and implement, not great at doing actual work.

> When if it was just rated in Wh we'd actually know.

No.

The capacity literally changes depending on how fast you draw.

This is especially a problem on lead acids, so they often have couple "n-hour rate capacity" figures to make estimates for your particular use cases. It's less of a problem for li-ion, where C-rates(not coulomb but alphabet cee) is used to plan for cell counts, runtime, current limits and required wire thickness(because wire thickness depends on current, yet again, not total energy through it). It's a non-issue for dry cells because it's among equipment designer's responsibilities to account for.

And that has little to do with Wh vs mAh. It'll be easier to guesstimate more precisely from mAh using experiences and implications, if anything.
I’ve been using their 2d graphing calculator since college and love it

They wouldn't have exercised at that valuation. The options would be priced based on the 409a, which would be much much less than 1.5B.
