It’s fiction that configuring the cloud is easier than configuring a computer.

I’ve worked at big companies with smart people who burn days and weeks trying to get IAM, gateways, vpcs, firewalls and lambda to play together. Let alone the ongoing nightmare of ops/dev interaction.

Complete cloud fiction.

The worst problem is the giant pile of cloud spaghetti you end up with and no one has any idea what connects to what and what depends on what. Easier to just accumulate more and more resources which cloud companies love.

Just run a computer, it’s easier.
Also the AMD Phoenix CPUs for laptops (7640/7840/7940), the AMD RDNA 3 GPUs and the NVIDIA RTX 4000 GPUs support AV1 encoding.
“ In those circumstances if you want figures to present to the board in terms of ROI”

This sentence shouldn’t be associated with anything “non-profit”

Proving yet again that, unless you structure your organization differently than every other capitalist thing (which means you won’t get funding through traditional sources) then you’re just helping capital further entrench their positions of power
> I don't know about "throwing people in jail", but putting criminals in jail certainly reduces crime rates.

That's the sort of statement that seems plausible, and even intuitive, but probably needs a citation. It wouldn't wholly surprise me if it were true, though at moral and economic cost; but it would surprise me even less if it were false.
I’ve been wanting to upgrade my 2018 Air but I’m not sure if I’m ready to take the plunge on this new architecture and what I may not be able to do with it… the intel Mac’s keep getting cheaper, and more tempting… has anyone found they couldn’t do something important or even fun on the new M chip? Clearly you can’t run Windows as a virtual machine, which I may seriously want to do for Visual Studio if I get a much more capable Mac.
I just love that in the minds of Westerners, 'Chinese company does X' is the equivalent of 'China does X', and when queried on why they think this, they'll tell you that Xi Jinping, like Oz the Great Wizard, pulls the levers of more than a billion Chinese individuals from behind the curtain.
> sexual harassment claims made.

What kinds of offices have you been working in that this is a common occurrence?
As an alternative take,

Imagine a nationwide US gov research program that collects DNA for the purposes of prescription drug research.

They'd be storming the capital again, no matter how much good it can do.

Now imagine we had to raise taxes to support it. Preposterous! Communism!

Instead a company was founded on the promise of providing a useful product to both consumers and producers. Let them get rich, I'm pretty sure this is a net win for all parties.
You can use arch on raspberry pi too. https://itsfoss.com/install-arch-raspberry-pi/

But not sure I agree that arch is the best linux distro to start with for someone new to computers that grew up on an Ipad.
> If you put your "work" out in the world, anyone who views it, is automatically training their brains on it. Viewing is training.

A perfectly reasonable view for humans, since you shouldn't be able to copyright a brain.

Not at all a reasonable view for a computer, until we also get to freely use all the copyrighted works ourselves. The problem here is that AI training is asymmetric: the people training an AI use works in violation of their licenses, but don't let their own works be used in the same way. For instance, Microsoft uses code on GitHub to train Copilot, but you still don't get to freely the source code of Windows or GitHub.

I am absolutely in favor of eliminating copyright and patent law. I am not in favor of keeping it around while letting AI become a laundering mechanism to get around it. AI training should not get to uniquely ignore copyright; copyright should cease to exist.
It's also significantly slower than Apple M1, which is 2.2 iteration per second in iPad. Though, maybe it's not a fair comparison since Apple optimises heavily their library.

One tip that someone gave me in 2023 that I wish I'd gotten in 2020:

Turn off self-view.

I found it much less distracting and tiring once I could no longer constantly see myself or see the moving face while I was talking.
Companies use many forms of data to change premiums, many you don't have much control over (e.g. what area of the country you live in). Why is that wrong?
I'm sad to read that.

I can only testify that this is not my experience at all, so it might be that you're in the wrong place.

In every company I've joined, I've found issues, often large ones, managed to get assigned to them, and had fun fixing them (or at least the satisfaction of seeing them fixed). Then moved on to the next issue.

I haven't always received much recognition from the powers that be (although me and a few colleagues have once been wined and dined at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city for having saved the company 1M$+ with a few days of work each, that was nice), but I've gained respect from fellow engineers and from myself, which was nice, plus lots of things to tell during job interviews.

So, may I suggest getting out while you can and finding a better place to work?
Technical cookies don't need a cookie banner anyway. Sadly not all website operators know this.
> Copyright is something we made up to extend the logic of commodities to the full value chain for books, which made sense 200 years ago. But it makes no sense to apply the logic of commodities to digitally produced and distributed media.

Great! So given your articles are in the public domain on your website I can make millions out of it without given you a cent or direct credit and sources without paying you and can claim it all as my own then.

> - Perhaps add a popup/permission notification for accessing location (see previous point as well).

Is the site using the location from the browser or just IP location? (My location was 240Km (150 miles) away from my home.)

I want to suggest also permalinks.
They tried denial (WFH is a fad, it will end after the pandemic), threats (companies are demanding workers to return to office or else), this, I guess, is bargaining (come to office, you will be less lonely)...

As if the office grind and general work culture itself isn't one of the big factors why people are lonelier than in the past, to the point of a "loneliness epidemic" (surgeon general's words), and have been such years before Covid and WFH policies...
This reads like a scam targetting people who have been scammed. Indeed, the posters only other comment is an exact copy of this message.
Par for the course for business insider.

Remember “quiet quitting”? BI articles overwhelmingly had the tone that these lazy workers were gutting businesses.

I think they just write articles to coddle middle management.
I just can’t get over how high-quality the information on this website is. See, for another example, https://cryptomuseum.com/crypto/usa/kl7/index.htm.
2 hours a day!? I wonder how overlapping the "have no interest in return to the office" crowd is with the "2 hour commute" crowd.

I don't think I know a single person that has any interest in continuing to work from home. But around here the commute is a 20 minute train ride, and homes are small.

Any chance you're in the USA, in a big house, in the suburbs?
And then the defense reminds the court that copyright is about specific works. Clearing the specific intent to copy a specific work is pretty key if you want to argue idea/expression or fair use or whatever their strategy may be.

And yes, the nearly identical copies will definitely be presented to the jury.
Does it mention the "exchange of ideas near the cooler" for the full bingo?:)
It's the second "hit piece" I saw this week, trying to sell WFH and loneliness as a mental health issue.
This would be better a a The Onion post.
Who wants to pay for anything? All else being equal, people would rather get things for free. But you can't run an economy that way. It turns out that for many people the perception of getting something for nothing is an adequate substitute.
No, error codes are far better then “something went wrong” as you can at least google them

Apple Announces M3 SoC Family: M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max Make Their Marks
That's not surprising though, as DBs usually work best when given raw storage - the features of the filesystem are being duplicated by the DB and thus doing almost twice the work.

What seems particularly interesting about Bcachefs is how much it seems to be using database concepts to implement a general filesystem. Ultimately, it seems inevitable that filesystems and databases will converge as they're both supposed to manage data.
Obligatory My first grader can do that.
Cool, never knew this, now all those home improvement projects where I got a screw stuck and had to drill it out make more sense.
People don't have that choice so it's speculation either way.
Ask HN: Personal digital identity to sign emails
I'd like to be able to attach a verifiable identity to my emails so that people know they are from me. Cryptographically this would be straightforward, but I'm struggling to find a digital authority to verify my identity. I don't want to use a commercial provider, but would like to use an authorative part of my normal life like a bank or a tax authority.

Any ideas?
That assumes it renders the same in all locales. Most likely it doesn’t.
Does it tank the actual conversion rate, or just the ability to see/attribute certain conversions?
'this' refers to my position.

As far as the topic goes, the topic is about how emotional disregulation in autistic people can lead to feelings of injustice and concequentially hostile behaviour.

Dogs and their owners are just an illustrative case.
Any law could be subverted via these justifications. "Why should I register my gun when the government itself breaks laws, and its politicians corrupted by bribes!"
Yes, I would love to see UBI happen, either with a new tax, or better yet the repurposing of existing ones.
I can not wait to read Google's reasoning why they suddenly have to remove the Do Not Track feature from Google Chrome.
Well that was one of the ways attribute grammars and compiler toolkits were all about a couple of decades ago, like Silver, Coco/R, JavaCC, ANTLR, Amsterdam Compiler toolkit.

Usually they never end up in production, as while quite productive to prototype, they aren't that good in error recovery and meaningfull error messages.

Turn off the camera all together. Then you don't need to look like you are listening.
"Estuary English" is the closest to the "default" there is today. RP is coded posh, Estuary is "vaguely from around London" without any particular colouring.
But that was the 13 inch model, no? I think all the 14 inch models had 'Pro' or 'Max' M1s and M2s. Now that the 13 inch model has gone, there are some cheaper 14" models that also have the base chip, and hence can only drive one external display.
Learning is not theft and never has been. I don't care whether it's a human or machine doing it. AI will benefit everyone enormously, even if it won't be equally distributed. The real issue here is that some skills are increasingly becoming obsolete and people have a hard time coping with that. Instead of demanding compensation, which would really be impractical to implement anyways, why not focus on developing new skills?
Yeah the key point is this plus "the affluent can hold these luxury beliefs because they aren't the people impacted by the downsides of them"
This reads like a scam itself
AV1 isn't particularly behind schedule compared with previous codec generstions. We could and should have moved faster if everything went well but Qualcomm in particular were being awkward about IP issues.

Luckily the effort behind the David software codecs kept up the rollout momentum.
That just means they'll receive a small fine 15 years after it happens and the damage is already done.
It's a property of the code under test, not the tests themselves.

If the system is crappy/stateful/implicit, and you somehow manage to write nice/clean/stateless integration tests against it, I'd argue that the tests won't be close enough to the expected running of the system to tell you anything useful about it.
I would argue that instead of starting with a Lambda Monolith and splitting routes out when they need to scale separately, you should be starting with an actual monolith and using Lambdas _only_ when a single route needs to scale separately (in a way that fits lambda). The Lambda Monolith is an unnecessary architecture as far as I'm concerned.
Well you can still reject all cookies then, making all of these cookies popup nonsense.
Problem is that console gamers are by default cheaters on FPS since all of them have aim-assist. If I were a competitive player I would be pissed off if a console player is higher in the ranking because of it.
Still happens today in education. Many of those retirement accounts are pensions of another name, and educators need to work a number of years to become fully vested into it
Then tracking info has to be given away for free. Your info is valuable, but you aren't allowed to trade it for something else of value, you are only allowed to "voluntarily" give it away for free. That is even more deeply wrong IMHO.
> They do it because they like it, and because they don't think about (or don't care about) the long-term consequences. People are (again, from my perspective) stupid.

Another reason for this is addiction. Addiction has people doing things that aren’t in their best interest despite them being otherwise intelligent humans.
> Remove leading zeros and convert to a number

This is stupid. If a leading zero was input, it was intended to be there and probably isn't a number. Been burned by this many times.

> Keep first 15 digits of long numbers and convert to scientific notation

This is stupid. If scientific notation was intended, somebody would have input it that way. This unnecessarily discards data. Been burned by this many times.

> Convert digits surrounding the letter "E" to a number in scientific notation

This actually makes sense I think?

> Convert continuous letters and numbers to a date

This is fairly stupid - dates ought to have delimiters between things (and a year!). Been burned by this a few times.
> From a social-good point of view, we would like insurers to cover risk that people cannot control (e.g. genetic risk) for reasonable premiums and good benefits.

You're using the wrong tool for the job there, if you want people to be supported regardless of their actual risk levels then you should get socialised medicine rather than artificially restricting what factors insurance companies can take into account (and there will be plenty of information leakage from due to other factors they are allowed to consider correlating with the banned ones).
Gattaca is fiction, with more attention given to having a good story than to realism.

Which was a success, it is a good story, and a movie I recommend.

What I think is that Gattaca, like most good dystopian fiction feels much more realistic than it really is, almost visionary. It is by design, it is a reflection of real world issues that readers/spectators are familiar with at the time of the writing, pushed to the extreme, and our natural negativity bias tend to make us forget the parts where the story was wrong in its terrible predictions.
It would be the right thing to inform and share some tiny small part of revenues with these kinds of patients, even if not legally required. Of course I can see a problem with some being greedy and thus denying access to treatment to others.
The big thing I like about the M's is how quiet they are. I hate fan whirr in my old age.
How was that agreement collected? Was in similar to how OpenAI gets consent to use your data for further training, in that they disable certain unrelated features if you don't give consent, or was it unconditional?
To be fair, it basically is, you won't get very far in China without the CCP's approval.
It is based on the feedback shared by an undergraduate student -- pretty subjective. For instance, it is possible to graduate with a CS degree without even taking an introductory course on systems.
Israel goes unnamed as state from online maps in China
If you memorize all of harry potter word for word, or some famous solo vocal track from memory, are you committing a copyright violation? Or only if you then recreate it and try to redistribute your copy?

The scenario where AI training is locked down doesn't result in 1,000,000 individuals getting paid. (What would they get paid, and by whom?) It results in Disney, Adobe, etc.—massive companies with existing licenses to use content just about however they want—training their own models and locking everyone else out of the large AI model training game, until AI gets good enough to start generating human-quality creative work on its own (the same kind of progression as alphago/lee to alphago/zero), perhaps with the addition of a small set of purely copyright-free material.

Excluding all copyrighted material would be tying an AI model's metaphorical hands behind its back, since humans, although capable of producing great works through much iterative effort in isolation, all rely on having learned from some copyrighted work. Find an author who hasn't read plenty of recent books as well as older classics, or a musician (other than classical) who hasn't listened to plenty of modern music, or a director or editor who hasn't watched tons of movies and films. Recall Newton, "[I]f I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Many of those "shoulders" are copyrighted.
Painter here. Rodriguez gained his popularity from staged videos that seem to indicate he drew people on the subway. To any serious figure/portrait artist it is immediately clear he copied the drawings from photographs.

I'm not saying it's impossible to make good drawings on the subway. But the line qualities of his drawings indicate multi-hour techniques that are popular among amateurs.

I can't deny his success, but he's a grifter more than a draughtsman.

> Medical insurance - oh you have cancer/hear attack/etc gene. You premiums skyrocket.

Is it assumed that premiums will rise? If you get a package of, say, pension plan your lower life expectancy might lower the premium?

I think this is why certain motorbike cover is actually lower..
Do you seriously doubt that if they had the choice that many people would willingly and knowingly avail themselves of it?
The office is a highly limited social environment in which many of the activities people would actually like to engage in are verboten. Why the fuck would going there be any kind of solution to anything?

Moreover, the modern office is built as a Panopticon where isolated workers sit in rows to be observed. You wear headphones and don't talk to other people, because (a) that would cause a disturbance, and (b) any interaction you do have is a "show" for all the other primates surrounding you. There is no privacy, and no ability to form relationships with other individuals.

So tell me, how does this solve anything?

It doesn't.
Look, my hobby is edge ML projects using SOC hardware. They are hacky AF but still more serious than some hack CPU approach like this. If anything, the next malware is turning unknowing teenager gamers rigs into piles of slag thanks to this useful discovery.

I guess this article just rubs my net negative lifestyle and feels like its content for contents sake.
I’ve been listening a lot to an album called Red Garland’s Piano. Great jazz from the late 50s.
This is already illegal though, directly by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which passed 420 to 12. I'm not pro DNA collection by any means but this argument gets tossed around a lot and it's clearly undesirable to everybody, and we can change/set laws to prohibit it.
that's a gross oversimplification and an argument that was made in bad faith that has now spread like a meme.

The gist was if you overtrain a model, and try to recreate an exact image by prompting very similar things, and run it several thousand times, then you can recreate an image. If you seriously crank up the overtraining it's even easier. But normal use of the models do not just pump out recreations of training data.
> Nobody on the left or right in the west is that anti-Semitic, at least not publicly.

Jews in the west are afraid to go to universities. Stars of david were drawn on many houses in France. In a Palestinian demonstration where they called for a Palestinian state from river to sea (elimination of Israel), the only arrested person is a Jewish woman who confronted them.

I don't rush to call people antisemitic, I think most of them are just "useful idiots" for the Hamas/Iran propaganda. But there are also some people who are letting old prejudice rise and using this as an opportunity. This isn't mainstream but that's how these things start...
I got a NUC for whenever I need windows and just RDP in it. It mostly collects dust.
Working deduplication would be amazing! ZFS has deduplication, but every time I've tried it has ended in a world of pain. Maybe they've fixed it in a more recent release, but the amount of RAM required for deduplication always outstripped the amount of RAM I had available to give it (the deduplication tables have to reside in RAM).
I envy your situation. Congratulations on carving out a piece of paradise for yourself.
Unfortunately, right now the LLM cost is just a fundamental issue. I think it is hard to get around because comparing answer quality usually involves understanding the question and answer itself which is a task that's really well suited to LLMs.

One thing we have considered is some forms of evaluation could be replaced simply with using the embeddings of the question, context, and answer instead of using the LLM model for analysis. The idea is you could compare all the embeddings to get a rough idea of the performance based on similarity. That should in theory reduce costs. The only other alternative is just to use less advanced models which are cheaper.
Not always. Many 401k's only allow participants to select a handful of funds, all of which are managed, and none of which are pure index
I had a 2-3 hour daily commute (1-1.5 hour one way) in the big city in Europe. Regardless of taking a car through clogged center, or if I took publick transit, because it equated to about the same - 5 min walk to the station, 10 min wait, 10 min ride, 5 min change to other line, 5 min wait, 20 min ride, 15 min walk or shuttle to the office.

That's not even a commute across whole city, only across about half of it. And majority of the people had the same times. Lucky ones maybe had 30-40 mins.
The Dimension Collector's Series DVD cover has the fanged face of a vampire woman on it.

Yes, the black is the "killer feature" of those Macs, I'm thinking about upgrading from my M1 Air solely for this reason :)
