>It seems like all netflix ever shows you is what they want you to see. My guess is that they intentionally hide certain older content to try and drive viewers to newer content so that they can collect metrics.

The other reason might be the way they distribute stuff: from what I've read, they have equipment set up in various locations to cache content to reduce overall network load. So they want you to watch stuff that's cached on a server at your ISP, rather than something in the archives they have to serve from their main location.
> Solar giant Qcells announced today that it’s completed the expansion of its Dalton, Georgia, factory – what it calls the “largest manufacturing plant of its kind in the western hemisphere.”

> It’s also the first solar panel factory to be built since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.

> Qcells has added 2 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity to its Dalton factory, bringing its full output to more than 5.1 GW. This is the third time the factory has expanded after opening in 2019. Two new solar products will be assembled there: the Q.TRON G2 residential solar panel and a bifacial panel for the utility market. Dalton is going to make nearly 30,000 solar panels per day. The factory expansion has created 510 additional jobs, and by 2024, Dalton will employ nearly 1,800 people.

> By 2024, Dalton and Cartersville combined will employ nearly 4,000 people. Its total output will reach 8.4 GW of solar production capacity per year, which is nearly 46,000 panels per day – enough to power 1.3 million homes annually.
Yes, you can. After every training batch, the network's loss function is updated and you can track it over time to verify that it's going down. Sometimes, the loss can get stuck on a plateau, or even go up, and it's not clear whether it's worthwhile to keep training or not.

Is this related at all to "Assembly Theory" that was discussed recently?
The more state that gets shared, the more dependencies that exist, the further away you are from actual isolation.

It’s not just state. It is the kind of state. Think about the difference between aggregate and combined software systems, and I’m using the GNU and FSF definitions here. Loosely coupled systems with pipes? Aggregate. API interface? Combined.

Every step away from something as generic as a stdin/stdout pipeline brings you more and more coupling.

You want to know the real problem with contemporary software development? We don’t actually compose our tools together beyond some meatheaded level of “specialized database”, “specialized frontend”, “specialized backend”.

Cat, awk, grep, sed, and most importantly | and < and > and you can compose any number of specialized tools.

The inclusions of libraries of code into a single executable environment that exposes an HTTP API is a non-generic data interface to another software system. Only generic interfaces are truly composable.

At this point I'm pretty convinced that no new gigacorp will be emerge out of this generation of AI (LLM and vision models). OpenAI will have to continuously bring their A-Game to stay 6 months ahead of everyone else. There is durable moat that they could hide behind in sight as of now. Of course they would like to construct a regulatory moat but it doesn't seem like there is a clear majority for this.

I'm pretty sure and happy that this will probably turn out as a large consumer windfall. Actually comes right in time to counteract the strong inflationary forces that come with de-globalization and declining efficiency due to increasingly basing the economy on gov spending.
This reminds me of when water bottle companies reduced plastic by 30%.

Of course unlike Nestle and Coca Cola, Apple is too hip to be known for its environmental impact…
Two level utilitarians are primarily rule utilitarians, not act utilitarians.
It can't be that hard to do this, if they want to. Boarding passes have group numbers now... For tickets under a single booking, pick the lowest group.

Assign low numbers to special people, then group 4 is windows in economy, group 5 is middles, group 6 is aisles.

People can try to cheat, but when the gate agent scans the ticket and it says not yet, you don't get to go.
They can replace the in-flight magazine with a dustpan and some wet wipes and skip cleaning entirely. Do it once a year at the C check or whatever. Uptime!
I think I last used eclipse about 5 years ago, when I switched to VSCode. At the time, eclipse still felt like 2008 software, extremely sluggish and clunky. In particular, it really suffered taking advantage of multiple monitors.

What's changed since then? Has it gone through some kind of massive redesign?
Do people even follow the boarding order? Sometimes I can't hear what they say and I just get in line anyway, and I've never had an issue. Obviously people mostly follow it, and it wouldn't work if nobody listened to it, but I'm not sure that the gate attendants care if a few people queue at the wrong time.

Also, queuing order is only about who goes first. If you're in an early section, but show up late, you can still get in line. So in this proposed system you can still have window seaters showing up late and defeating the whole point of having them board first.
Something I found discovered recently which I found quite amazing in light of how long it typically takes to board a plane:

The target time for an emergency evacuation is 90 seconds.

And the manufacturers must demonstrate that this is possible in order for the aircraft to get certification.
What is about embedding ads within the primary video stream itself that suggests they would not be countable?
Wow this looks incredible. I had the most fun I've had on a computer in a long time this last weekend using Partykit.io to build https://is-sf-back.cconeill.partykit.dev/ and this looks so much smoother.

Point of clarification - there is no E8M0 direct datatype (unless I misunderstand something!) E8M0 is only used for the scaling of exponents in the block - there is 8 bits of scale per block.

Rulings aren't only about the case. Precedent is important. Loosing rulings here can lead to expanded power and suppression of speech for fear of backlash.

Saying "checking for searches of an address in two weeks" is materially different than "searched for X suspected terrorist organization in four years".
Well, not in practice. The problem is that that's based on a computer simulation which assumes that people store their carry-on in a bin near their seat (instead of the actual behavior in practice, which is to store it in the first empty bin they encounter while boarding the plane).
I have a family of 6 and there are no decently priced EVs that fit it.

I use a Model 3 for our daily driver (since all 6 of us usually are not going out together) and have a Sienna when we go out as a family, or for long distances.

I don't want an SUV, frankly I want the Canoo (https://www.canoo.com/) - but I am pretty sure they are going to be vaporware in a few years. Maybe the new Volkswagen will work.

(WRT large families, even a 2 + 2 might have to drive the grandparents or visiting family members.)
Traditionally, training runs can "explode" and fail, but there are methods to incrementally back them up and resume when that happens, see https://www.mosaicml.com/blog/mpt-7b
Okie good job. Now next step, board the plane back to front!
You have no idea how grateful I am to hear someone say that last part. God, curiosity can be such a nerve wreck.
5,000 flights a day, 3 flight attendants = ~ 500 hours/day in flight attendant pay saved (context: flight attendants are recently getting or fighting for boarding pay)
And by bearings I mean brushes.
The added software is their implementation detail, not your individual concern. Presumably, you've given permissions to run the application that didn't change (it was always capable of doing this and you initially agreed) or required you to consent to new changes to run it. This is as banal as including an extra npm package that takes slightly more work to execute.
In my opinion They won't outperform the best LLMs for one problem: Quality of data.

A hidden secret that everyone knows is that good LLMs use copyrighted data like books-3. OpenAI itself cites a dataset from books and does not go into detail in its first papers.
We used to have this thing called a phone book! Imagine the dystopian horror!
i could have sworn someone did a study that showed random boarding was the best algorithm despite intuition.
Commercial mowers do exist, for example Exmark[1] (some not launched yet) and Toro[2]. Based on the pricing I'd guess the breakeven vs gas is still >3yrs without tax credits.

I kinda meant on the top end (So it never charges so high that the battery experiences increased wear).

But... this happens at the bottom end too, your battery already still has some charge left at 0%, the BMS protects it from being fully discharged. I'm just wishing there was a bit more so I don't have to make decisions about wearing out the battery faster.

Then I could enable OVERCHARGE and get 120% charge for travelling or when I know it's going to be a long day, at the cost of battery life.

Fair, thanks for the note. The pixel scrolling felt like an in-editor effect, and I was overall blown away...
I don't have that confidence. Judges and grand juries grant warrants based on the beliefs, strong feelings and lies/embellishments of law enforcement too regularly.

> my guess is that a judge would deny such a warrant without something more, e.g. the person has a prior conviction for arson, or there’s a personal connection with the victims.

Or they're the wrong religion, race, nationality, seem "suspicious", know/related to felons, don't belong to the good ol' boys club, etc.
I'd say expertise and compute. With enough compute I can certainly build the largest LLM. Do I have the expertise to build the BEST largest LLM? No.
The M3 has great looks to me. I’d own one if I didn’t purchase an EV a year before they became generally available.
I've used Replit for love coding interviews when we are talking with candidates. From what I have seen I don't think I would choose to switch to it for a large project. However, it is nice for quick examples of a way for someone to write small chunks of code with no setup.
I think data quality, not just largeness, should be a goal. A huge and excellent dataset is something only a massive organization can afford.
But it's also why people pay a premium to not fly Southwest
Los Angeles banned them in 1998. Nothing changed. No enforcement.
Well to be fair a lot of the boarding time is tied up in people struggling to get luggage into overhead bins, and then eventually fully running out of space and having to swim upstream after they put their bag behind them.
> But this conversation was about hypothetical life in forms that we haven't yet discovered

That's why I mentioned silicon.
I've done 100's of flights and have never encountered this.
I think the most sensible way to do it would be to let people self-select into fast boarders and slow borders, let the fast ones get on first and take their seats, then give the slow boarders as much time as they need.
this will give priority to economy class
Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem. Biggest effect on me of any book, by far. The only book that immediately jumped to mind without me needing to check my "read" list.

I vaguely recall The Soul Of Sex giving me a healthier foundation for my own sexuality.

The Power Of Myth and The Varieties Of Religious Experience for general spiritual goodness.

The Selfish Gene has probably had a deep lingering effect on my thoughts about my life as a biological creature.

Let's start over. You say that if a genetic database didn't exist you wouldn't have been made a suspect, so I reply with a random example where you could be made a suspect without the assistance of high tech. To keep the hypothetical relevant, in it they take you into custody and take a DNA sample from you to compare against one from the crime scene. Either they get a match and that makes you more of a suspect, or they don't and it doesn't. If they get a match, potentially you'll need to convince a jury that the presence of your DNA at the crime scene doesn't mean you had anything to do with the crime.

I don't see what the existence of the database changes. With or without it there are ways by which you can be linked to a crime you had nothing to do with, and it doesn't seem like it can't be used for anything other than quickly getting a list of people who might have been at a crime scene. The article you linked is not about DNA databases, it's about how DNA evidence is misused by law enforcement. All it says about DNA databases is that black people are over-represented in them.

Sorry your judicial system depends on the savviness of random idiots off the street, but it has nothing to do with whether companies like this one exist.

I absolutely hate flying southwest and would pay double to not have to deal with that chaos.
It's the difference between everyone wanting to get out ASAP, probably because they fear for their lives, and "the plane's not going anywhere even if I take a few more seconds".
I pick aisle seats, check my bags, and wait until the last possible second to get on the plane.

So nothing will change for me. But I still think this is a dumb idea.
I bought one of these plants, and while the berry is far more effective than the tablet, it's definitely not worth maintaining a whole ass tree. 100% worth trying, either way
The are two scenarios that worry me:

Someone searches for something that is related to arson for some innocent reason.[1] The police decide that is enough evidence to make them a suspect and eventually prosecute. Due to fear of being found guilty or inability to afford a competent lawyer, the person takes a plea deal even though they are innocent.

The government does something questionable like dropping a bomb on a suspected terrorist that also kills a lot of civilians. Someone hears about it; however, they do not investigate further because they fear that a search history related to bombs could make them look like a potential criminal. This results in them not holding the government accountable.

[1] Perhaps they are a fan of true crime shows. Perhaps they remembered an urban legend they heard as a kid about flammable clothing and were curious if it was true. etc.

> They tend to put their carry-on in the first bin they find in the front of the airplane

I personally haven't noticed this and I don't think it's very common. I thought that most people preferred to have their carry on in the bin closest to their seat in case they need to pull something out mid flight.
ANA does this (source: on an ANA flight right now). Thought that was a very smart idea.

And then I realized I no longer being on the window for long haul flights.
Oh man,

The good part of my family dog dying was that suddenly I could smell and taste things. Switching from bland to flavour at 18 was crazy
But if all the minutes don't add up to an empty slot in the airport between its operating times, then it's for naught.
Clearly no one on HN has watched the Mythbusters episode where they tested exactly this: plane boarding. And this was indeed the most efficient method.
This is a great tutorial.
If the airlines stopped charging to check luggage, 99% of the problems with boarding would go away.
I'm on an ANA flight where they do this. At boarding time they let people go with their parties. Still felt more efficient than usual.
Several airports I use in Europe enforce it, as the automatic gates where you scan your boarding pass won't open unless the group has been called to board.
Do they? Southwest is often far from the cheapest option.
Arguably, it’s a misfeature of Teslas. My BMW i3 has a hard charging cap of 90%. (The UI scales the charge percentage and displays 100% between 90 and 100%)

It’ll regen charge up to “really” 100%, but that would require something like a 5,000-10,000 ft continuous elevation drop, where you just ride the regeneration brake the whole way down.

Nissan took a different approach. The batteries on the old Leafs died really prematurely because they didn’t have decent battery management.

They fixed it on later models.

Anyway, this stuff is mostly a solved problem these days. It would be nice if device manufacturers were compelled to provide an 8 year, 80% capacity parts and labor warranty on all non-replaceable batteries (like the car manufacturers do in the US).
I used to *enjoy* doing physics. Why did I enjoy it? I used to *play* with it. I used to do whatever I felt like doing - it didn't have to do with whether it was important for the development of nuclear physics, but whether it was interesting and amusing for me to play with.

No, I think the ladder is variable in size:

> a ladder, parallel to the ground, travelling horizontally at relativistic speed (near the speed of light) and therefore undergoing a Lorentz length contraction

From the page on Lorentz length contraction:

> For standard objects, this effect is negligible at everyday speeds, and can be ignored for all regular purposes, only becoming significant as the object approaches the speed of light relative to the observer.

I'm pretty sure this means that one of the observers sees the ladder at the full length, since relative to them the ladder's speed is 0.
I can't think of someone who, for a lot of people, went from hero to villain faster than Elon. I also dreamed of having a Tesla in the past, but the magic is now gone, and I can't stomach the thought of giving him money.
Easy. Human feedback and training. The open secret is that just the AI “revolution” is built upon uncompensated or barely-compensated human labor. Not just everyone uploading their stuff to the internet for 30 years but also this:

I have an 11 pro as my main workhorse. Multiple years old, constantly running the battery to 2 % then charging to 100 and it still lasts all day for me. I feel like the concern I see going on in this thread might be a bit misguided.
If you watch on domestic flights, it's about a 60-40 split between people who put their carry on near them (60%) and people who throw it in the first free bin (40%)
It’s actually insanely good now, especially with images
I'm just straight to the point, I don't want to waste people their time. You can check it on my profile.
Yeah I more mean their literal inability to hold a conversation or dress themselves.
Wait, these companies don't just use Google maps data for their mapping software?
> Plus, carry-on luggage:

> The problem in practice with boarding people in back first is that:

> 1. They tend to put their carry-on in the first bin they find in the front of the airplane. So people sitting in the front have to put theirs in the back. This is a disaster later in the boarding process because there isn't enough room for people to circulate back up to the front after they stow their carry-on.

What if every section had to put their bags in the compartments directly above them? Rows 50-60 get overhead section 50-60, rows 40-50 only put their stuff in overhead section 40-50 etc?

Or they could just start charging for carryons too. Then there'd probably be way less of it.
The only thing people care about is room for their carry on. Otherwise put me on last, first or in the middle I don’t care

> You must have used some insane electric chainsaw because the ones I've seen take 15 minutes to get through a 2 inch diameter branch that you could snap by hand faster.

Maybe that was the case 5-10 years ago but not these days. A buddy and I cut 10-12" dia tree sections into rounds in short order with a 16" bar Ego chainsaw. It was, let's say, 10% slower than an equivalent Stihl but it had more than enough grunt and was incredibly quiet - no need for ear protection.

If you're using a dinky little 18V chainsaw then they'll choke on anything but the new stuff using 56+ volt batteries pack some serious punch. Gas chainsaws are still needed for some use cases but the lack of noise, exhaust, vibration, and fuel/filter maintenance positions them to fully replace gas chainsaws in the reasonably near future.
