To be fair, the iPhone is not a camera, its a smart phone with a camera. There is no question that a DSLR with an interchangeable lens will beat out iPhone.

> The source camera and lenses were good enough - and the look was amazing compared to camcorders - to achieve this.

I would bet that the camera and lenses used didn't do the heavy lifting there, the selection of the location, the time of day, and the direction from the DP did. An expensive lighting setup isn't a requirement for a good image but good lighting is. Whether its natural or artificial is up to the DP.

The minimum viable quality you need for a project depends on the needs of the shoot.

> Forgetting "shoots" and professional lighting, the iPhone isn't going to have the massive range of other equipment, and when you're spending literally thousands of pounds on studio time, lighting hire, operator costs, etc etc, are you really going to pick up and shoot on an iPhone when you've got a Black Magic or Sony or Canon at hand? Unless you're being paid by Apple?

Of course not! I don't think anyone thinks the iPhone 15 is replacing the main camera on a shoot with a proper budget. But could the iPhone 15 be an additional camera for specialty shots or experimentation? Absolutely. For instance, if I'm shooting an unscripted scene with two people talking alone and I can mount my phone for a passable wide shot that can roll the whole time, giving me flexibility to shoot both individuals without losing coverage, then that's a huge value add.

I think in cases like that and in cases where people want to experiment without buying into a camera system, the iPhone becomes elevated beyond being just a mobile camera.

> I get that it's viable but there really is a lot of road between viable and superlative.

Totally agree, however I don't think I argued that. From my perspective, a viable camera is a viable camera for a job. The iPhone 15 seems viable from my viewing and it lives in my pocket while every other viable camera does not. That to me is the impressive feat. iPhone not living up to a proper DSLR is expected.
But it doesn't matter what your definition is. If your definition of force includes copying, then we're done. That's what I wanted to hear you say. If not, but you want to go after people that copy, then you don't believe that force is only justified in response to force. If you want to tell me about how court orders aren't force, then I'll ask you if they're equally voluntary in a couple situations where they don't benefit you.

That's right, I do not want people to own pixels, sounds and ideas. I don't acknowledge the concept of ownership of something that isn't property. Problem?
The best part about socialization in public schools it you will meet someone who isn't like you. I know plenty of home schooled kids who got plenty of socialization - but it was all people of the same group as their parents. Same religion, same politics...

Sure but what exactly is a malicious scenario in this case? That they'd use this data to probe which drug to do R&D on?

If this was an insurance company I wouldn't have asked this question.
> Everyone already “knows” their religion is correct and is not actually willing to challenge that because it’s scary.

1 Peter 3:15-16 literally commands us to do exactly that.

But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.

But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Believe it or not, the ignorant bible thumpers are actually a minority of Christians worldwide. There is a rich apologetic tradition going back centuries and odds are good every one of your objections was answered in the middle ages at the latest.
I like it too. I also wrote a negative comment, but it was about how the title was not completely honest, which is a different issue than whether or not this was an impressive feat of AI.
Even though the phind model is selected? Is there a technical reason Phind doesn't do pair programming yet?
If everyone was force-fed the same dinner and compelled to wear the same clothes, there would be a lot of societal efficiency to unlock. It would also be a nightmare.

People are diverse and have diverse needs. That includes kids. AFAIK the most efficient method of education is still one-to-one tutoring, the very opposite of "schools at scale". Unfortunately it is also very expensive.
Not 04/01. Hmm, this is either a serious prank or serious hackery for the art of it. Perhaps quantum both. I approve. :]

>Do you say a neural network that produces great speech to text had an achievement? Or do say the people who developed it did.

Sure Why not? The engineers at google and open ai or wherever else trained the models but they didn't teach it how to do anything it does because they don't know how to teach it to do anything it does. So yeah the achievement is on the neural network.

Many people gave the likes of alpha go achievement on super human Go play.
Yes, it could be essentially a cruise ship for the journey, and starships are used just to ferry passengers and supplies to/from the cycler at each destination. With life support closure you might not even need much in supplies.
If the purpose of religion is to align yourself to the highest aspirations why do so many large religious organizations get caught up stuff like this:

A linux VM with only a kubernetes/docker with most workloads idling doesn't use a lot of resources, except memory, probably less than the typical open browser tab full of unoptimized js.

When you have kubernetes on your laptop, that is to test your code alongside a set of other microservices functionnally representative of a prod deployment. That doesn't mean your containers will have much load appart from your own punctual testing.
1 and 2 are problematic because it's very hard to get representative data from either one. The people who have time for user studies or post on your forums are not representative users.

Only listening to data from 1 & 2 results in the sort of angry posts you frequently see on HN complaining that devs aren't listening to "real users" or have the wrong priorities.

You end up needing data from additional sources, telemetry being one of them.
Much more important to worry about how well the kids understand math, and secondarily, physics (aka applied math!) and/or similarly math-using subjects (accounting, baking, chemistry, economics, programming, etc. etc. etc.) Those subjects are genuinely hard to master, and everyone should understand the basics because they're useful for so many careers.

As you say, learning the basics of evolution is something that can be done on your own in a weekend reading wikipedia. Similarly, you can learn the mainstream scientific explanations of how the universe was created from watching a few youtube videos. That's basically how I learned that stuff as an (atheist) homeschooled kid.

School seems to fail to teach the philosophy of science well anyway - skepticism, evidence, double-blind testing, etc. So I don't think evangelical homeschoolers are missing that much.
That's called "Classical AI".
AMD and Intel both have their share of proprietary blobs, in their "open source" packages, including microcode. Where do you see a secure path, for any computing, especially high performance?
Maybe, except that it would require passing that Postscript file into another application, or getting a Laserprinter still able to plug into MS-DOS infrastructure or FreeDOS.

Anything requiring moving the Postscript file via other applications or operating systems, is working around the problem of WordStar not really working on modern infrastructure.
All indications are that the DA offered no plea agreement, so the options were to plead guilty and hope to get the lower end of the sentencing range, or take it to trial.
Oh yeah Rust... definitely a bit more sharp edges there which is frustrating (had a friend tell me the same recently).
One of my favorite Penn and Teller routines is "Lift Off of Love" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PoDhuIp3I0 - The first act is a variant of the old sawing a woman in half trick. The second act is the same trick again, but with clear boxes.
Requirements change over time. Domain understanding change over tim. Business change over time. Environments change over time. Unless you are a seer with perfect precognition, most of what you have done will be invalidated over time.

Hence: make your code and data easy to change, but simple, as you cannot predict in what way it will change.
Even in a WWIII scenario, there would be some form of economy. The composition of the GDP would drastically change. But there would still be demand for food and clothing and of course military goods etc. All these require capital for which investors will collect part of the profits.

So I think a diversified portfolio would still be valid. Even if the stock markets would be closed for years, I could sleep well as some of my companies will go bankrupt and others will have much higher profits.
At least they owned their assets and didn't just exploit the ones of their users, looking at you Uber and Airbnb.
Insult me however you’d like, but I’d almost always prefer a filet over ribeye (or any other cut).
Depends on the claims made.
Outside cities, yes, but there also aren't many houses there.

In flyover country, in the cities, it's been "OMG, this house just came on the market four hours ago... quick, send a full offer! Damnit, they already sold it for $20k over asking, again?!?!" for years, only letting up recently.

[EDIT] And I don't just mean like Chicago and Minneapolis, either—any metro area a million or larger, it's probably been like that, and even in some of the smaller ones.
I bet it's difficult to normalize because performance depends on so many things. CPU cycles, but also other factors like RAM speed, swap usage, CPU cache sizes and speeds, background tasks, GPU and GPU drivers, OS, display servers (X11 vs Wayland on Linux), window managers, available fonts, and probably a ton of other things are other factors that will play a role.
I never said a single word about transportation. For urban cores, batteries are obviously quite viable today.

What I am concerned about is energy storage for power grids or microgrids.

Do you want to claim that hydrogen and ammonia can't work for this use case either, and that there is nothing viable? Implying that the most sustainable option is to just continue using fossils fuels.

What I think is that there a ways to make both hydrogen and ammonia and other options very viable not only for grid storage but also for transportation. What's holding it back is a lack of critical thinking. This is because most people's views are dictated by social circumstances and then they subconsciously find ways to rationalize them. In other words, it's hard to get people on board with solving new problems related to using different energy sources, and so executives will invent reasons it can't work.

What sort of fuel do you think makes sense to pursue for long term (months) energy storage?
that definition applies perfectly to modern leftism
Pixels, sounds and ideas aren't your property. That has nothing to do with communism. Force is only justified in response to force, and you've still yet to prove that my copying of your ideas is forceful enough to warrant government intervention.
Does it need to be a paid internship? If not, I have known people to successfully create an unpaid one for themselves at startups just by cold emailing.

I knew a few people who took an unpaid one as moving for an internship wouldn't have made any significant financial difference as intern pay is fairly low.
That's just marketing. McDonalds will sell you what it calls a Hamburger with a capital-H, but we could argue endlessly about the veracity of that.

In the end it doesn't matter -- some people like it, some people hate it, it's good, it's terrible, it's whatever you at this moment in your life decide it is for you, but regardless of opinions, it's still edible.

I just love what this guy made mostly because he followed through and made something, anything, and put it out there (presumably for the pure joy of creation).. and it got us all talking about it lol

NOTE: there are a few more question/answer blocks in the phind conversation since I was testing out the follow up question feature.
As far as I know, all of Intel's Ethernet controllers with the exception of the most recent ones like the horribly-named i2xx (is that a lowercase i, uppercase I, or lowercase L? Even Intel seems to be confused about that on its site) have a 825xx part number. The 82574 is commonly emulated for VMs.
I don’t think that the existence of those bodies is the reason for being able to pronounce most words in German and Spanish exactly how they are written.

Afaik there is no such regulatory body for Russian language, and yet as long as you know the alphabet, you should be able to pronounce almost every single word correctly (even if you have never seen or heard it before).

There are a few exceptions, but I cannot even recall them right now, aside from super common ones that make natural sense. Example: “что” aka “chto”, with “ch” being pronounced more like “sh” (which would naturally end up happening if you try pronouncing it as written aka “chto” a few times).
My manager likes to ask "is it better or is it just different"

Well... It's certainly different.
Typical usage is one Lambda per service. Then use switch (event.routeKey) { case 'GET /path: ... } to serve the different API Gateway routes attached to the Lambda. It doesn't have to be very complicated.
Can we have a larger discussion about the tradeoffs that come with open sourcing a model?

When fb released Llama they obviously gained a huge amount of developer goodwill but it also required them to invest a serious amount of their own developer time to engage with the community.

I'm asking the community what it can offer the company? Or is this just self-abnegation by the company that releases the model?

Then I'm tightly coupling all my code to this library. I would prefer to write javascript like normal and not import a library anytime I author a function.
You are reading way too much malice into that comment. It’s not unreasonable to dissuade labeling something as terrorism if it leads to flame wars across the site for more ambiguous situations. In no way does such an editorial action imply support for terrorism and murder, even if you strongly disagree with the reasoning.

Instead of lashing out and accusing fairly innocuous people of being terrorist sympathizers and anti-semites across several different threads, maybe step away from the computer for a bit?

And some people think Synthesia is actually teaching them piano.

It might get them into the door. It might give them all they are seeking and that’s all awesome. They might find that they hit a wall and need to go learn how to read sheet music. Or they don’t.

The thing about “it’s not real programming” is that I don’t think it matters. They might just end up a bit surprised that they hit a wall and have to go back and learn more of the fundamentals.
// other aspects of homeschooling were just a fig leaf over a whole lot of religious indoctrination.

While this may technically fit the definition of "indoctrination", that's a pretty loaded way to describe what parents teach their own children.

// they thought the public schools were too secular and were teaching "sinful" sciences like evolution.

Really? In 2021, the hot-button issue among religious parents was evolution?
I take it you did this yourself but that is definitely not the cost of paying someone to do it for you. There is no way you can purchase the fiber and pay someone to trench and lay it for you for under $1.50/ft.

I would have preferred a program where in rural counties the up front cost of acquiring the $599 kit can be claimed as a tax credit.

In the FCC press release above,

> Collectively, these companies are committing to deploy broadband service of at least 100/20 Mbps service to over 700,000 locations and to maintain or improve existing 100/20 Mbps service to approximately 2 million locations in 44 states across the United States.

That is Starlink bandwidth and that 18B would pay for 30M install kits instead of just 2.7M homes.

These sorts of clipped sentences without any supporting context are understood to be delivered in bad faith. If you want to discuss in good faith, then elaborate. From here it sure looks like you wanted to score points by derailing the discussion on what you’ve deemed to be poor word choice.
I don’t think that’s true, didn’t they sign a bunch of hard-to-get-out-of leases for properties that Adam Neumann purchased personally? How he got that past the board is beyond me.
Unfortunately, of the 4 people I know personally who were homeschooled, it was a vehicle for abuse for 3 of them.

One friend’s mom wouldn’t teach him the curriculum for months, and then when she knew a test was coming up she would make him study with her for 14 hours a day to try to cram it in. Then when he naturally performed poorly on state exams he was punished (often physically) for not trying hard enough. She regularly woke him up for classes when she wanted to be awake at 2 or 3 am, then later after her afternoon nap at 6 or 8pm. He grew up constantly tired, without a regular schedule of meals, and never made it to the group outings because he felt sick all the time.

Another friend’s mom just couldn’t be bothered to teach and just took her out on “learning” hikes with other homeschooling moms, never taught her anything, and wound up sending her back to public school with severely (I mean severely) underdeveloped skills after being held back for several years.

Neither of these parents I’m sure “planned” to abuse their children in this way. They just weren’t up for the task of teaching in the way that a child requires, and their own personal issues turned that into a larger problem. But my friends suffered for it.

Attract, Convert, and Retain More Customers for Travel Business
The customer journey is the process that a customer goes through when interacting with a business. It starts with awareness of the business and ends with post-purchase loyalty or advocacy. The customer journey is important for travel agencies and tour operators because it can help them to improve their customer service, increase sales, and build a loyal customer base.

This blog post will provide an in-depth look at the customer journey in travel agencies and tour operators. You will learn about the different stages of the customer journey, how to identify and target your target customers, and how to develop strategies to attract, convert, and retain more customers.
You make a long of assumptions here. Firstly, that these advanced are controllable. I'm not convinced we even understand what real intelligence and if we can achieve real intelligence if its even containable if applied to anything.

Why Halloween's 'Poison Candy' Myth Endures
> Only listening to data from 1 & 2 results in the sort of angry posts you frequently see on HN

If that's the sort of responses your studies produce, then your studies are seriously flawed.
In the US the seller pays for both the listing agent as well as the buyer’s agent. When you list your house, you agree to a commission for your listing agent and you advertise a commission to co-broke on the MLS listing, which entices buyers agents to show your house (or steer buyers away from it if the commission is low).

I think the biggest impediment to driving down costs to the consumer is the momentum of social convention.

Even for agents at fixed-cost brokerages, they know they can charge 2-3% so they do, and most people don’t know that it’s negotiable.
Sure, but a good example of how far certain domains have to go still. These datasheets should be in the models training data, at least one CCD datasheet, and verilog & (migen | nmigen | amaranth) certainly are.

Controlling a CCD is actually pretty easy, I built (very simple, but working) controllers for several CCD chips in undergrad doing research for the ATLAS detector. You just clock a rows out basically, N columns times. Reset first. I'd expect an senior undergrad EE student to be able to design a simple core in a few class projects.

The new Olivia Rodrigo music video/ad was shot on an iPhone. And it shows. Even on 4k, there's blurriness, color balance issues, and noticeable artifacts that just aren't present on videos shot with a proper video camera (i.e., the commercials airing right before and after).

Yes, the iPhone can be used as a video camera. The same way that a camcorder can be used as a video camera. And neither of them are anywhere close to professional-level quality without a lot of extra work and equipment: you actually need more expensive equipment than you would with an expensive camera (and this other equipment usually costs a multiple of what a good camera would cost).
