TL;DR: my co-founder and I hosted hundreds of 1-hour co-working sessions ourselves.

In the early days of what is now Flow Club, my co-founder and I had built several apps to try to help us stay in touch with busy 30+-year-old friends. It was tough to get any friends to even install the apps we made on Testflight, much less use them. They were busy with work or family (and the apps just weren't compelling enough).

We started asking friends to come work together on Zoom (during the pandemic) like we used to do at coffee shops. We wanted to add some structure to these, so we made them 1-hour co-working sprints with a screen-shared pomodoro clock and agenda (5 minutes to share goals, 50 minutes of working, 5 minutes to check in), sent out the Zoom links to friends, and then started pre-committing to times at the beginning of each week and sending that out to an email list. Within a month, we had hosted a couple hundred of these sessions between the two of us and couldn't keep up with the demand or requests for more times of day as it spread to friends of friends. When an early user who we didn't know IRL and then my partner each separately asked if they could also host sessions, we were blown away. We didn't think anyone else would want to volunteer to host. Then when we realized both of them were actually better "hosts" than we were, a lightbulb came on for us that we could stop doing the unscalable thing we had been doing and build for hosts.
In this video we learn how to finish the hierarchy tree-based configuration system, update the getter and setter of configuration settings to use the configuration namespace setting. Also start reviewing all currently implemented functions to make sure that nothing is left out or forgotten.

Fyi we fixed this so now you can get an API key at autotab.com/dashboard and then that is sufficient to authenticate when you run `autotab record`, no more logging in to Google in the Selenium browser!
For what it's worth, the "imposing canyonscape and non-stop noise of New York city" applies only to certain areas and can be largely avoided if you work from home... from where I sit writing this comment in my apartment in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, all I see and hear through my open windows are birds chirping and a quilt of fall leaves. Catalytic converter theft does seem to be a problem, though, for those who own a car and park on the street.
At work I was making an hyperspectral image pixel classifier in Python. I just noticed how close its implementation is to the use of embeddings to find the relatedness of articles. ie. by calculation of dot product and cosine on their embeddings.

How weird, the natural language world lends itself to classification with the same calculations as used in the images world.
Apple and Amazon aren't event remotely in the same league. Amazon chat agents use canned responses (probably due to being required to handle multiple customers at one time.) I've had one tech support/customer service interaction by phone with Apple and it was great - I needed my out of warranty MBP battery replaced. The agent was kind, knowledgeable, focused and took her time working with me to diagnose/confirm the issue and setup the return (they sent me a box & label to send the MBP in for service.) I had my MBP back within 5 business days from the day they picked it up. Apple is expensive, but they take phone support seriously.
You should probably list some concrete examples of how it is better. Otherwise it’s just an opinion with no insights.
Well, since random() doesn’t depend on anything, it could also just be evaluated once for the whole query and be treated like a constant. But really, this is simply a case of the language semantics being underspecified.
That was my interpretation as well. I was making a joke that the OP said his name had one letter, then indicated that his name was "jesus christ". (All lower-case, too!)
Apple is only good compared to the total garbage fire of MS/Google, and Amazon's support has been horrible for years now. If they don't have an automated answer to your problem you're SOL.I had them ship me the wrong item with the correct item's SKU taped on it and they argued with me for quite awhile before just refunding me.
I mainly use ranger, or some conveniece scripts I've built around ripgrep, ripgrep replace and fd. When i find the file i want I either open it directly to do a small chance or use the fuzzy search in my long running session to open the file.

The only thing I haven't nailed yet is creating files in deeply nested directories.

In general most of the things I used in nvim have now moved back to the terminal which has its pros and cons.
Agreed. When I was a kid, I would look for the award winners as a shortcut to find new books to read, but lately its been disappointment after disappointment. I don't feel like the winners reflect what I consider quality (e.g. I loved A Deepness in the Sky, Cryptonomicon, in addition to the books you've listed (minus Three Body Problem)).

With the death of physical stores, I no longer have a way of discovering new science fiction. I wish there was an award or recommendation engine that could find these gems among all of the trash.

Interestingly, I did find one book that was quite enjoyable, from a John Carmack tweet of all places, The Powers of the Earth.
I've been interested to see what Nile will be since the Twitter pre-announcement, and: uff.

The tenant capabilities are nice to have, but even when building a tenant-focused SaaS not really a big draw. The examples shown even come down to "you can achieve 80% of this by just adding a tenant column everywhere". When comparing this to e.g. Supabase, their autogenerated REST/GraphQL APIs solve a lot more significant pain points, especially when starting out.
Seems inaccurate where vaccines were correlated to autism in a 2016 GOP debate. (And the doctor on stage said nothing to rebut, and turned out to be anti mRNA as well)
Another example would be Spruce Goose - which still has its name in the list of the largest aircrafts.

So, no, Starship already has a place in history.
Vulcans and Romulans have basically the same look (in TOS they were distinguished largely by the Romulans distinctive garb and the fact that Ronulans were only encountered on Romulan ships, in TNG and later shows the Romulans often had ridges, but not all individuals did.)

That they looked identical (except for the ridged Romulans) because of their shared origin was a quite important point from their introduction.
It's the mapping of parameters to vocabulary claim embedded in your response that needs validation. 1.7 trillion parameters means what exactly?

Let's start with working vocabulary. Working vocabulary doesn't just mean knowing n words. It means putting n words together in factorially many valid combinations to construct sentences. And 30k btw is an insane working vocabulary. Most people know 1000 words on average in English. All of their sentences are structured from those 1000 words. This is true for most cases, except certain ones like Mandarin or German, where basic words can be used to assemble more complex words.

Certainly GPT-4 knows something. Presumably that something can be mapped to a working vocabulary. How large a vocabulary that is requires a testable, reproducible hypothesis supported by experimental proof. Do you have such a hypothesis with proof? Does anyone? Until we do it's just a guess.
definitely seems very like in the post-2000s section, especially considering the exponential growth of the internet (that it itself alludes to), it seems to focus a lot more on the pre-2000 content, with a small handful of misc stuff from after.

I know HN frowns on grammar-policing comment, and rightly so; but I thought nonetheless you might like to know (and it looks so much more formal this way anyway!) that it's "smörgåsbord" (or the diacritics are commonly omitted in English).
you could try to use ranger or a similar terminal filemanager. it's basically like nvimtree or nerdtree
On a sphere or modulus space, that just becomes a K4, so it isn't even an edge case, it is the solution that the approximation would generate.
This is why I tune out the financial media. The media a year ago was saying Meta was on death's door.
People often claim that Google broke the internet, but I do not think it did. If any other company succeeded it would also rely on some sort of algorithmic SEO.
Most often on results are shown google services, and news sites. Sure you can play with your searches to find what you need.
People started using social platforms, so forums became less attractive. Hobbyist found Facebook groups. It is not viable to host a fan page any more. You will not receive any traffic.
Google also became lazy with their search.
Internet became walled Gardena, and I am not sure if everything within walled gardens can be easily ranked right now.

It was not Google who destroyed the Search, it was the Internet that has changed
It'll depend on the specific project in question (there are quite a few methods under investigation), but for enhanced weathering (the type under discussion), I found some articles in a quick search that suggest the energy cost of grinding and transporting the rocks is significantly smaller than the carbon removed by the programme, e.g. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322664372_Potential...
They waited over a year before disclosing the vulnerability. Since Apple didn't fix it in that time, they're now relying on negative publicity to pressure Apple into fixing the issue.

And the problem here is that Apple and other companies don't address these vulnerabilities until someone forces their hand. That's why a "marketing campaign" is required, unfortunately.
Well, it says connected at 52kbps... and the handshake was pretty short, I think it may be a 56k accelerated handshake that could happen if the line characteristics were similar to a previous call. Not sure if that's in all of x2/kflex/v.90/v.92, but it's in some of them.
And you know its going to be DNS related caused by a bad config push :p
Why is the being downvoted? This is basically what it is.

You can put lipstick on it but it’s basically a golf cart. Golf carts and that whole style of vehicle is a valid alternative for cities.

I still prefer bikes but I would use a golf cart based transport network if it was safe and I didn’t have to share the road with gigantic 8000 lb suvs driven by people who keep missing their anger management appointments.

The insta post this submission is based on from
Elektrek.co even asks the question of whether this is just a golf cart or something actually new and exciting.
I think they meant linking to the museum itself, at a specific artifact. Not the embed itself.
It's easier to blame Reddit (or any service) than it is to take accountability for one's actions.
How in gods name do they still make such obscene amounts of money?!

Mobile ad CPMS and CPS are insanely high. companies shelling out big bucks for traffic on Meta, Instagram.
You are wrong. Maybe you did not read the paper which the article is reporting.

From the paper abstract: "Identifying a fifteenth-century painting of a handaxe does not change what we know about Acheulean individuals, but it does push back the evidence for when handaxes became a prominent part of the ‘modern’ social and cultural world." Indicating they think the painter and his contemporary society had a "culture" of appreciation for the objects as axes.
Why do you two feel "old," instead of experienced? Aka "teachable moment".
Yeah I've considered it. For now ranger in a pop up term works nice enough for me. Ranger is a bit slow so I should move to lf or some other alternative.
Very stable so far, been using these features since a while, as I always compiled the version from the master branch.

Never could stick to any modal editor like (neo)vi(m), but helix was so easy to get into, and you don't even need to configure anything.

My main editor and "IDE" since >1 year, can only recommend.

> Right now they haven't even proven that the many engine design is actually workable

They don't need to prove it to people who accept as the only proof the demonstration of the fact. Remember you can have proofs in different ways, and professionals are fully aware of this.
Whether they make it to spec, or whether they derive the spec from premade PB, it's got to be a lot of very precise work.
Fair enough! Good on you for realizing your error.
Given: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/5.3...

how would any reasonable person know what https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/5.3... to enable without (a) trying it and squinting at the error message (b) clicking on the API documentation <https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/reference/rest/v2/projects...> then realizing it, also, does not mention run.googleapis.com, click on "supported service endpoints" <https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/reference/rest#rest_endpoi...> and only then learning about https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/reference/rest#service:-ru...

Repeat for https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/5.3... although in both cases I guess the astute reader may have spotted the run.googleapis.com in the forbidden service labels and cloudidentity.googleapis.com in the example

Since, to the best of my knowledge those bindings are auto generated <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules#magic-m...>, I would hypothesize it is not insurmountable drop in the seemingly existing declaration of APIs required: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules/blob/7d... https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules/blob/7d...
Depends on what "taking off" means for the start up too. Taking off at a mass consumer scale might need that flexibility, taking off and even getting to market saturation in a specific B2B might be achievable on a raspberry pi level hardware. There are many more of the later.
(oh, also: yes, that's my understanding too, that you're still stuck validating incoming curve points in ECDH, but I think the anti-cofactor people have a corresponding argument for signature schemes.)

> this makes no sense: can individual companies operate computing infrastructure more efficiently than cloud providers?

As long as you know your predicted growth yes. Cloud providers are operating "efficiently" because they do oversubscription on a lot of services. You don't really think that those 8 vCPUs are dedicated to your VM only, do you?

Also, the thing with cloud are the managed services that make it easy for developers to process/exchange data, like Amazon SQS or cloud functions and things like this.

Like the first comment says, if you know what you are doing, it is quite easy actually to host your infrastructure on-prem.
I think a lot of people simply ignore the basic fact that vaccines aren't safe by nature, they have to be proven to be safe through very very rigorous processes.
Anti-vaxxers might come across as a lunatic but their extreme behaviour does not make opposite is true by default.
Cool, when was the last time 33 states or more coordinated against TikTok?
Some of the things I use in vim:

* Mark a position in the file, so I easily can jump back.

* Quick recording of a macro that to do the same type of edit multiple times (very handy when refactoring)

* regular expression search and replace, very easy to limit the scope.

* Easy to select, copy and paste lines or columns.

Everything without touching a mouse.
Well, they're actually part of modern culture, so I don't think they can be a counterexample from history :-)
What an oddly aggressive comment - perhaps the problem isn't prediction but extrapolation of past experiences with Google, would you not agree that it gives you a sliver of worry that they may cut the service off?

You seem very intense about Google's offering, maybe you feel attacked by the points made in the thread, but the way you're approaching this discussion is very strange.
In competitive shooting there's a similar phenomenon. See e.g. https://tremorjournal.org/articles/10.5334/tohm.779

I'm amazed at how swiftly opinions like this change with the appearance of new facts.
Just because hypergolics are toxic doesn't mean non-hypergolics are non-toxic, which was my point.

That being said, there are plenty of propellants used as part of hypergolic combinations that aren't toxic. For example, oxygen, used as part of the hypergolic ignition system for SpaceX's merlin engines.

Spot on. Gonna have to steal that for my next meeting.

Although, given the potential Cavium-Marvell TPM issue viz ECC and
that we're not really there with homomorphic compute, I might make a

Elon founded SpaceX with Michael D. Griffin and offered him the role of Chief Engineer but he declined. Griffin instead went to Washington to steer NASA funding to SpaceX, before they ever launched any rockets.

Griffin was Chief Architect of the Brilliant Pebbles 'missile defense using weapons in space' program and has been advocating for it his whole life. After NASA, Griffin started the Space Development Agency--what that article is talking about--and gave contracts to SpaceX. When Biden came in he deweaponized everything, and then the lines were clearly drawn between him and Musk.

Check out Michael D. Griffin and also Will Roper.
For better or worse, Americans love cars. (Happy for you, though.)
But we already have this dream. It's called the internet. And video games. And movies. :)

The question of "metaverse" is:
1. Do we need a head strapped device? Does it add enough to the experience to justify it?
2. Do we need those experiences be more connected and owned by one rent collecting platform?

My answer to both is a firm no, both make it strictly worse. But it's a personal answer, we'll see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Meta obviously wants it to be double "yes" to sell those head strapped devices and collect this rent. But this doesn't make it true)
So this.

On the ocelot question - he will cynically tickle them to death instead.

This is about as reasonable discussion as can be had on the topic of Musk. Which is sad.
I don't expect this to end well ...
There's a select few. Boston. Washington DC. Chicago. The only city in which not owning a car does not involve sacrifice in your lifestyle is New York City.
Who said a state does own you?

You can't say no to electronics. The cat behind the curtain could be anybody. A state, a corporation, a theocracy, ect.

Xi Jin Ping (or a Jihadist) could hypothetically set all the electronic rules in the UK and nobody would know the difference.

When a cultural revolution happens behind the electronic curtain, your conscience can't know it, or oppose it.

Severing control of one's behaviour, from the individual conscience and placing it in the hands of electronics.

Brings into existence total cultural control of Britian, without the ability for individuals to oppose it or understand it.

Our world used to run on written agreements and Kantian-esque moral emotions with Duty. None of that matters or has any influence over an electronic life. All that matters is the will, so told by the unseen electronic controllers.

Britian is dead and Britian is not allowed to know it.
The Quiet Workflow Revolution
> A given application is still not using more than one browser engine.

That doesn't seem true, I can easily imagine an app that's based on Firefox but can still cause a WebKit page to open, you just need a system API that uses WebKit.

> If the Firefox browser engine was provided as an iOS library by Mozilla then Mozilla would update the library and every app that uses it would get the update at once.

That's not how the app update lifecycle works, they're all independent. (Otherwise they'd break a lot more easily.)
Cars have gotten larger because of changes in recent years to emissions laws: larger cars are permitted to have greater emissions. Naturally, this results in auto manufacturers building larger cars that are easier to make compliant to emissions laws. Force emissions to be lower and the size of vehicles will decrease.

I do find it hilarious that my dad's old F150 truck made back in the 1970s is way smaller than modern trucks.
>while scientific evaluation shows that it's like: writes a program 80% of the time, the program compiles 20% of the time, the program works 5% of the time.

Where was this "scientific evaluation" published, on what LLM, and what size programs did it concerne?
nowadays i generally point $editor and VS code at whatever i'm working on and hop between them when i feel like it
As an avid neovim user, I must say helix felt right at home. There are differences, but most of the basics are the same. I felt immediately productive. Great job. (Neo)vim compatibility, makes this much more approachable for those familiar with vim-style modal editing.

This got me interested in what did they spend between the $34B revenue and $11.6B Net income.

Cost of revenue 6,210
Research and development 9,241
Marketing and sales 2,877
General and administrative. 2,070

$9B in Research and Development. About $3B of that still belongs to Reality Lab.

So even without VR, Facebook still seems to spend relatively a lot of money for their revenue generation. I am surprised by this as I thought their net margin would be quite a bit higher.

It kind of depends on the chassis' structure rather than weight. That being said the only thing more weight accomplishes is the impact is worse for anyone that isn't you.

They should allow different engines, but this isn't a reason. Different browsers have different vulnerabilities, but aren't substantially more secure as far as I'm aware.
The energy use is surprisingly low and distances of 100-300 km can remain highly efficient, even with diesel trucks and avg grid power. By intentionally developing/utilizing crushing plants near clean energy and farmland, this can be made even more efficient.
