> Net neutrality is wildly popular with the public.

I didn’t say it explicitly but I think this is the real reason that the ISPs largely haven’t changed their business practices independent of what the FCC says it can or can’t do. They don’t want the FCC in their shit, but they also don’t plan to do all of the worst case scenarios envisioned in say, this video from 2006: https://youtu.be/cWt0XUocViE

And one of the scenarios that did come to pass (high speed and slow speed lanes) was never even prohibited by the FCC back when it did pass net neutrality rules: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/01/netflix-is-so-bi...

> Netflix ultimately paid ISPs for interconnection but the dispute had an impact on the FCC's net neutrality proceedings. The FCC didn't ban interconnection payments but set up a complaint process so that companies like Netflix can challenge specific payment demands as being "unjust" or "unreasonable." There have been no major public disputes since then.

So I mean, I get it. In 2006 it was easy to see how turning the Internet into cable TV would be terrible, but if that was ever a danger, it probably isn’t now? And the internet is so much more important now that if it ever did look like that was going to happen, we could pass a real law then. In the mean time I’m going to enjoy listening to the court proceedings when the FCC is sued because they said they didn’t have the power to govern ISPs when they had a different set of commissioners.
Pretty much. additionally, i think NeRF is really promising for this use case. You don't really need a 3D model per se to view a thing from different angles. The only issue is lighting - both photogrammetry and nerf suck have baked lighting which really limits what you can do with the model. But there's a bunch of work towards solving that problem, so I can see that problem going away soon!
How much more productive? 2%? 50%? That matters. Making a lot of people miserable for an extra 2% productivity sure seems like the American way but maybe we should stop being okay with that.

In a sense, LLMs are already lossy compressors. Summarization is sort of just turning up the lossy part so it seems to be a natural use-case for them.
Took me a while to find the relevant excerpt so here it is:

> New features and upgrades ("Foo 1.3.1 is out") generally aren't substantive enough to be Show HNs. A major overhaul is probably ok.

In this case, it feels more like a repost than anything else.
Why don't they display the list of available shows to unsubscribed users?
Like I wrote, use your subscriptions page as your YouTube homepage, and you wont be pestered by irrelevant stuff. I also have a separate account for watching work or hobby related instructional videos or other crap, so as to not mess up the recommendations on the TV. YouTube makes it very easy to switch between several accounts.

YouTube search results are awful, can't disagree with you on that. The same for shorts. Searching for videos on Kagi or FreeTube instead of inside YouTube can be a better option. I've also noted that YouTube search results are much better on the TV than on desktop, and that they don't suggest "Others also watched.." crap there.

As for premium, I only consider it that I'm paying for the bandwidth to have the videos delivered to my computer, phone and TV without any ads. Just for that, it is incredible value already. Adding the features you list would make it even better.

I don't have an issue with a law that says companies that create phones have to show X number of search options for the user to select on first startup. But the central argument in this legal case, that just paying to be the default means you then automatically become highest quality and therefore dominate the entire market even on other devices, doesn't strike me as being... true.

"Regulation can be good" is a principle I agree with. That is separate from whether the central argument being made about whether being the default is all it takes to create the highest quality search engine.
Haha, no, you can find people complaining about that all over the web. It’s a very real effect.
> armchair psychiatry at its finest.

I don't deny it. I literally said "I suspect".

Also armchair psychiatry.

> See how condescending and dumb this is?

I think your wording was a bit exaggerated but has a grain of truth in that many software developers do think of themselves as artists, and they're not wrong about that in essence. I do think it's wrong to claim that there's a unique "most efficient best in class tool available". Different people naturally find different tools more efficient for their personal workflows.

I actually think that the majority of human behavior, including my own, can be explained in animalistic terms. It's not condescending, because we are undeniably animals. In fact, it makes no rational sense for me to waste time commenting on HN, but I do it anyway!
It probably got picked up and used as an example of ‘famous stolen art’ in a movie too, which skyrocketed it.

Try searching deep into the game tree in go. After a few million nodes you can't actually store them all in 16GB of RAM. That's just a day of searching on a 2060, you can get into the hundreds of millions with a faster GPU and a longer search horizon. But when you put it into swap, it won't be as fast...

We have agreements with the LLMs we work with to not store your prompt data or AI generated responses, or use it for training purposes. Data is only used to generate the response and then deleted.

On Sourcegraph side, we do collect some telemetry to improve our products, and for enterprise use cases we can def work with you on what data Sourcegraph collects/stores and how it interfaces. For example, we recently added support for AWS Bedrock so you can run your own instance of the LLM and connect it. So we def have options we can explore with you.

Ask HN: Do tools like Copilot or ChatGPT4 help you code?
How and which tool is worth its money?
How many gigs of the very finite storage on my mobile device should I, as a user, be required to dedicate to every mom-and-pop browser engine that comes along? Storage is cheap but it ain't free on mobile, and it's not expandable without buying a new phone.

Seriously though: especially if you're a developer, do a quick audit and discover how many copies of entire browser engines you have on your desktop machine. They get squirreled away in testing frameworks, one-off bespoke apps, hardware configuration control panels... I'm not immediately convinced that the phone ecosystem controllers going "No, we don't do that here" is a bad thing.
It's just about balance.

If there is something I need that provides value then my wallet instantly comes out.

I more than happily pay for my JetBrains IDE - it's a tool I use full time.

Same for ChatGPT - I'd throw my money at them. I'd pay 5 times as much.

I was paying for an anti spam system but I'm not convinced it was doing a great job.
> You just clicked new and were off and going! (This is what I imagine BASIC was back in the day)

Pretty much. Except more so: you turned on your C64 and the BASIC interpreter was right there. No libraries, no dependencies, just you and the machine.
I've got to imagine that at some point in the future when it's been common on server stuff for a while it'll end up as part of a next-gen "thunderbolt" style connection, simply because the silicon by then will be a commodity and it'll be cheaper to use the same thing everywhere. I'm imagining a docking station that doubles the ram, and gives it a powerful GPU/NPU/TPU for a workstation. Since the ram would be close to the accelerator over CXL they can talk directly and make full bandwidth use of it even if the laptop uses the remote ram as a "very very very fast swap" or something else to prioritize things. I'm not so sure it'd be useful for persistent storage at that level but it'd make for some really cool options for a portable workstation since you wouldn't need everything inside the device.
The author of the article said on Twitter that their team plans on testing more cables in the future-- this was just a first run of it.

I used to use a M705 mouse from Logitech. It has a three-year rated battery life on a single pair of regular AA batteries.

This M550 mouse is rated for two years using the Bolt wireless adapter.

https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/mice/m550-signature-...

The K400 keyboard+trackpad I have routinely lasts at least couple of years despite only rated for 18 months, but it didn't get as much usage as a regular kb+m as it was mostly used as a couch keyboard or as a quick debugging combo for working on machines on a workbench.

2000s kid, I first used something similar to LOGO at school, if you can consider that programming. I initially taught myself programming/scripting by writing Windows batch scripts. Scratch was introduced in my teens at school but by then I was far beyond block programming.

>CEO said there'll be no severance or healthcare.

Classy. Learning a lot about how certain people treat their employees during these last couple of admittedly insane years. Good for future reference, I guess - though not much solace now. I feel for the employees.

Edit: Wow, more responses than I thought! I admit that the tone of my comment was too reactionary, but my opinion stands. I won't modify the original comment but instead will add this quote from Dalton Caldwell, YC Partner:

"So what happens if you have less than three months of cash? It's important to face the issue head on and account for your liabilities and the scenario of shutting down your company.

In many cases, <2 months is the point of no return. If you are in this state it is immediately necessary to lay off your employees and give them severance, pay down your obligations, and use your remaining cash for shutdown costs. If you don't do this and instead end up with zero cash and outstanding payroll, tax or other obligations, things will get Very Bad." [1]

Exhibit A: TFA
I know that’s kind of the cliche, but - what is it, exactly, that makes it miserable for you? Is it just wanting something and not being able to have it? Why can’t you just date someone else who’s actually into you, and be just a friend to this person?

I’ve never had this cliche issue cause I’m a weirdo, and i think the best explanation I can come up for why it works for me is - i always think of relationships as friendships. My partner is my best friend because he has to be - I wouldn’t be with him otherwise, close friendship is the basis for a romantic relationship for me. And they don’t want the romantic portion, then the friendship is still there, and friendship is worthwhile on its own… I just don’t get the “it has to be all or nothing with me” mindset.
> Net neutrality is wildly popular with the public.

In the tech bubble.

Outside of the bubble you will be hard pressed to find people able to actually articulate what net neutrality is. And those people are easily swayed by partisan means: ('The democrats want more government regulation that's going to increase your internet and wireless bills') ISP's only have to claim 'your costs have gone up due to new government rules preventing us from selling discounted service' or something to that effect and you will find that 'widespread' support eroding away.
I find it hard to call that paper a smoking gun. It makes a great case and offers testable hypotheses but does not indicate that those hypotheses have been tested yet.

It was also just one of 16 very different theories submitted to the same meeting: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2023/378/1885

What I skimmed of the other 15 all had similarly great cases, despite very different thinking, and similarly untested hypotheses.

I don't think there is a single easy answer here. Certainly there are a lot of offered "easy" answers, among the 16 above, and all the more you see in threads around here. Again, this seems too complex a puzzle in general and the more pieces we find the more questions we have and hypotheses to test. (Whether or not you agree with my skepticism of calories and belief that they are an outdated and uselessly unscientific metric.)

A few. Marine upper plants are very rare, but red algae are harvested. There are several cultured marine Protists (I wouldn't say domesticated, but this is debatable) and also aquatic Cyanobacteria.

I started a newsletter deconstructing the careers of artists who live off of their art. I was doing a lot of this research for myself and then decided to turn it into a newsletter so that I stay committed to learning more and have some accountability. Are there any artists here trying to live off of their art? If yes, I would love some feedback on my very first case study so that I can tighten it up and really provide value. I am a user researcher by trade so I could research and write all day. A fresh pair of eyes would be great!

What's egregious to you? I personally don't mind if doxxers, racists, or criminals(war thunder leak?) get the ban hammer immediately.
In practice you often do because it's common to parse text that has "special" characters which are always ASCII. Think CSV, XML, JSON, source code, that sort of thing. These formats may have non-ASCII characters in them in places, but it's still a very common task to work with indexes into the string and the "character" at that index, which works fine because in practice that character is known to always be a single code unit.
The matrix multiplication hardware and data types aren’t standardized yet.

Also, the M1 Max has more bandwidth than an epyc Milan to actually feed all of that. It’s about the same bandwidth as a PS5, but in a mobile package, with none of the latency of GDDR6. Much more powerful than a standard dual-channel consumer cpu.

You mean the extremely common phrase "praise be to god"? But if you put a Palestinian flag in your bio it says "Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom".

That's not (1) an impersonal way, and (2) saying "Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom" which is an extremely strong statement in support of terrorist, and given the overwhelming amount islamaphobic reporting giving racist shitheads the ability to point to all the "pro terrorist muslims" seems pretty on the nose.

Here's the question you should ask, are the pro-israel bios being updated with "IDF terrorists are fighting for their ownership of Palestine"?

Have you taken a look at Kagi? I've been pretty happy with them compared to Google lately.
yea so as of now, it is a fairly loose integration between threejs "rendering" a 2d image of a scanned product at some orientation, and then Stable diffusion inpainting a background around it.

However, there's a number of extensions here, that makes the integration of 2D and 3D more interesting going forward

1. 3D models means you can relight the model before running it through in-painting. adding lights in 3D around the product, plus using a more raycasted rendering system (which is now possible in-browser) means you can control the input to SD really well.

2. This one is the most interesting piece. You can create a 3D editor to allow very simple low poly style scene creation, lets say a pedestal and a vase or something from a product photography standpoint - then pass the depth map or canny edges as conditioning through something like control net and you have a super controllable scene design tool that you can finely control - both in camera angle and perspective.

It's not clear to me which party is more supportive of a 'free' internet. During the Trump and COVID era Democrats became much more aggressive in advocating for and explicitly pushing censorship regimes against what they consider to be misinformation.

Probably any political faction on earth is going to want to control information flows to their advantage. Whoever you vote for will probably want to censor or limit the reach of the speech of their enemies. The parties don't have actual principles on this stuff--vote for whomever has the same enemies as you I guess.

Cost basis reporting from the broker to the IRS is still blank for non-covered shares though, which leads to the other common case of "forgot a page of 1099, IRS thinks it's $0 cost basis, sends bill for $10k++, but actually you owe ~$0 if you send in the correct info".
