Poor people often have to work multiple jobs and often work many more hourse than 8 hours a day. The stress of worrying about how you’re going to feed your kids, pay energy costs, rent etc soon eats time too
That is my point, it's rather easy for youtube to only stream the data at 1x speed minus the ads duration. So it must be that YouTube allows/allowed ad blockers (and also tools like youtubedl) explicitly. At some point they must have thought: let's not allow things to go too far.
Would it be possible at some point to have voxels the size of a pixel? And would it benefit for example path tracing, physics and other things?
so my guess would be there are more than a few devices between the edge and the express route gateway (which is more or less a VM I was told). So I am guessing right now someone is trying to figure out what hardware is involved in between the two points we captured and looking at that stuff :) For me as a customer that's just a big black box (cloud)
Yeah the headline is so exaggerated you can literally come up with a retort faster than they could come up with it. Heck I bet if a new Windows XP exploit showed up tomorrow it would still wreck chaos.

Looking for Ongoing User Behavior Research in Web Apps
Are there any websites or platforms dedicated to ongoing research and insights into user or customer behaviors specific to web applications? I'm interested in resources that provide continuous updates and analysis on how users interact with web apps, and I'd appreciate any recommendations or insights you can share. Thank you!
Going fare free would induce demand which would increase operating costs, so it's not that simple.
So we're back to where we started, just tinker "a little" with the setup to try to make it work, exactly the issue Docker claimed to be aimed at solving.

I tried running a docker based setup for a year on my homeserver, thinking that using it for some time would help me get over my instinctive revulsion towards software that makes Docker the only way to use it, the way that forcing myself to use Python had helped me get over disdain for it back during the early days of the transition from 2 to 3. Didn't help at all, it was still a pita to rely on. Went back to proper installs, couldn't be happier.
That was basically how I read the title.
To add to this, for me it's not specifically about the ease of setup which isnt that much easier (although it's nice that it's standardized). It's more about the teardown if it's not something for you. Services can leave a lot of residuals in the system, files in different places, unwanted dependencies, changes in system configuration. Removing a docker container is very clean, with the remaining stuff easily identifiable.

Makes trying new stuff a way less troublesome.
Flagging as irrelevant. Our industry does the same for something that should be sued out of existing. Facebook cough
> moving my homelab to ARM

Why? Cost, performance, and power consumption should be in the same ballpark as x86, but support for x86 is still significantly better. There's nothing magical about running a workload on ARM. The math obviously changes when you have thousands of machines.

If I read a book, adding its contents to my brain, and then having that content influence what I write on HN, is that a copyright violation?
Preservation is one of the central problems of current copyright terms. By the time the term exhausts--in the U.S., now around 95 years for works for hire or life plus 75 years for author's works--the work may be completely lost. In my opinion, this will only get worse as we progress into the digital era. At least with physical copies, there is some chance an instance of the work might survive the needed gulf of time.
I think the main difficulties here will be social, and a story of how this all started and the cultural, legal, and operational barriers they've overcome would be a valuable contribution. I am reminded of pg's advice to "do things that don't scale".

That paper you mention mostly highlights subsistence farmers - folks who definitionally don't have excess calories.

More generally, urban folks are more resilient because they're more flexible - as long as you're importing food, you're not reliant on one locale; you can always import as long as one place hasn't collapsed.

How does this work if, say, I agreed to these terms, but then I walked into a McDonald’s and bought a scalding hot coffee without using the app? Would I still have grounds to sue if I got burnt since I never interacted with the app in this transaction but I previously agreed in the app?

edit: the terms say (emphasis my own)

> any claim or dispute […] you may have with McDonald’s or any other Members of the McDonald’s System arising from or related to the online services or these terms will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration

So I suppose that this really only applies to lawsuits related to the use of the app and that any foodservice claims are still valid? IANAL.

By this reading, I think this statement in the article is incorrect.

> Essentially, the new terms state that, if a customer tries to sue over hot coffee, for example, they can't take their case to trial.
I find the changing numbers too distracting. When I run simulations at work I have to turn off the monitor because otherwise I keep loooooooking at the numbers. Perhaps round them to a few digits so they change very seldom.

Even if one technically has time, cooking is a considerable commitment and so it’s easy to end up having little to no downtime after working it into a schedule, especially in a family situation.

It’s hard to keep that kind of tight schedule up for long periods while maintaining sanity. Even if you start out cooking regularly and eating healthy it’s easy to burn out and wind up in a funk which then causes a spiraling effect that makes it ever-harder to get back to a healthy lifestyle.

So I might suggest that many don’t just need time and energy to be able to cook healthy, but enough to cook healthy and still have time and energy left over. In other words, a sustainable schedule.
> If that exists, why would anyone buy the book?

Because (if the book affords it), reading can be a form of psychic traveling. A reader enters an altered state of consciousness, lives in the world of the book, and comes back changed.

A summary of the information and 'plot points' would seem like a replacement only for those who have never really been absorbed in reading a book.

Yes, it’s a tremendous barrier, which is why academic fields tend to have introductions or surveys of the domain, stepwise instruction, with more in-depth or specialist knowledge being premised on having this understanding. I feel like this should be obvious to everyone? Did your education not follow such a progression?
Yes, you're right. I stand corrected! It'll be tagged on Nov 21 and released Nov 23, if the current schedule doesn't change.

I assume the security changes will use the branch you linked above, so there will likely be more activity until EOL in late Nov 2024.
Are these the T&C referenced?

No they aren't.
Yes, I'm fully aware of that. I'm not using it as a search engine or to learn specific facts, which are indeed sometimes hallucinated (though less so with GPT-4 than other models). Rather I am using to explore domains of knowledge interactively. It is that exploration and interaction that make it this an intriguing learning method.

It's especially useful, I think, for discussing and thinking about philosophical or controversial issues that do not have right or wrong answers.
Maybe just restrict index funds from interfering with whatever business they own? Index funds are ultimately a dumb momentum-based business model that just buys whatever companies are doing well at the moment and sells whichever aren't, but bear no risk themselves outside the economy shrinking. Not sure why they should have any say in how the companies they own operate, it seems like a complete competence mismatch (dumb ones with little risk controlling the smart ones with the skin in the game).
Can you give an example where it would be confusing? I know it is controversial, but to me it seems very convenient when referring to an unspecific person.

I don't know how Twitter really was 5-10 years ago, and I was mostly on technical topics anyways - only recently I started to be more interested in getting "news" from there.

Gosh, the amount of fake news and hate speech is freaking insane. It's worse than being at the stadium.

Every tweet I read I had to Google or research for authenticity, until I found a few profiles more reliable - however this doesn't prevent fake news/hateful comments in the tweets.

Needless to say, I deleted my account when I realized that Elon has a political agenda. Bah. Next.

EDIT: I only feel like saying: poor newer generations. They will need a critical thinking like never before.
It is is lot cheaper than single region with technical support.

There are four pricing levels - single region and auto replicated to second region, each of which can be with or without support.

It is not much of a saving per GB, but it has a much lower minimum (200GB rather than 800GB).

What I cannot see is whether it allows sub accounts which are (or used to be) free with the with service option.
My Sony headset (wh-1000xm4) has the exact same problem, but they apparently encrypt the firmware payloads and decrypt them on device.

I've come this close to taking it apart and trying to dump and probe everything, but my shaky hands are too likely to break it.

I would pay very good money for a hackable noice-cancelling headset.
As I said, it's just a point of comparison that I could get good numbers on. Power plant operators are very tight lipped about fuel/kwh generated, but, people selling very large, industrial gensets happily offer those numbers, and they're seemingly honest about it from what I could tell.

Generally, combined cycle plants are ~50% efficient in terms of fuel to power, energy density of bunker C is 40Mj/kg, transmission losses are variable, but figure them at 10% so it's ballpark and easy, EV chargers are about 80% efficient, car extracts 80% of the energy it draws from the battery in normal use (remember the motor isn't all that's being powered).

So there's alot of loss along the way. Some of that is solvable, some of that is improvable, but ultimately the solution is clean, cheap power so the losses don't matter.

Until we've got that, hybrid drivetrains are a good solution, provided they're implemented well.

I know you're being an asshole with the whole tires comment, but, it would be a fun bit of math to do.

That's the trouble with LLMs. You cannot rely on what it is regurgitating.
It's not sensationalist at all. Let's say you buy a child's meal through the app and your daughter ends up dying of E coli contracted from the meal. Because you used the app, you theoretically can't sue them, only use arbitration which as everyone knows tends to favor the large corporation paying them (and would never return a result of a large punitive fine like a jury might).
My phone (Android 5, and I barely use it, frankly, so until it stops working I don’t need anything newer) does the same thing when connecting it to my car over Bluetooth, the first time after every reboot. It’s simply and flatly a stupid feature. If I could root the device I could turn off that switch ’cos it’s in a config file somewhere, but I’ve never succeeded (Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)).
At a previous gig I was working on a web app where there was a requirement for users to be able to "view PDFs without downloading them" (the product person's words, not mine, and they probably got it from somebody in security). I explained that such a thing was technically impossible as the act of rendering the PDF in the browser meant that the computer would have to download it. "There's no way to remove the download button?" they asked in response. No, there wasn't, because each browser would use its own PDF viewer or open the document in one installed on the machine. What if we used our own renderer instead though? After thinking for a second I remembered that PDF.js was a thing in Firefox... would it run in other browsers? Sure enough it did. I was able to fork it, remove save functionality (just a button and a context menu IIRC), and rig it up to load a PDF from our server.

The demo ran great in IE and Chrome, the two browsers that we had to support. Everybody seemed satisfied with this solution and called it a day. I have no idea whether this made it to production as I left shortly thereafter, but the fact that it passed muster didn't leave me with a great feeling.

A pixel is a 2D unit, usually a screen; a voxel is a cube in 3D.

If you place a 3D voxel model into a 3D world, and just back the camera away from it … at some point, its voxels will be approximately a pixel when rasterized?
> Docker took off because there is no Linux. There are 50 different slightly incompatible OSes. So the best way to distribute software is to basically tar up the entire filesystem and distribute that. Dependency management has failed because there’s just too much sprawl.

You'd have to be able to convince the car that you're able to provide DC charging. Far from an impossibility, but a very roll your own kindof system, and you'll likely need some beefy DC/DC converters to do so.

You could also, similarly, subvert the car entirely and just disconnect it from the car, charge it from the panels/DC converter, and reconnect it when finished.

Their navy in the Port of Gaza where they've been since 2007 would beg to differ.

While the JWST has a larger aperture (6.5 m) than Hubble (2.7 m), the wave lengths it is sensitive to are also longer. So the overall resolution is only between 2 and 3 times better for JWST. So if Hubble can only resolve something to 1 pixel, I'd only expect you'd get at most 9 pixels for JWST.
Also all the bs with "if you use our site you automatically agree with our terms" is a lawsuit waiting to happen - the law is clear - the user must give clear and unequivocal consent - and it is also not ok to "agree with x, y and z by clicking here" that would require informed consent on x y and z seperately.

That’s a lot of caffeine, and from my own experiences with caffeine use and withdrawal, I question how much of the negative results are related to sleep patterns caused by intake and withdrawal.

I also question the methodology of only re-testing on the tenth day, I’d think testing every day would lead to better results and the study would be able to show a gradual decrease in cognitive performance.

Very curious about the long term implications. I drink a lot of coffee to keep up with work and powerlifting. I’ve started cutting back because of said sleep pattern issues.

This has to be said again and again: "ChatGPT" is meaningless without specifying whether you mean GPT-3.5 or GPT-4; statements about "ChatGPT" (or LLMs in general) capability limits are invalid unless tested on GPT-4.

> + Buying up all state of the art production capacities so competition is one node behind.

From what I read, before that, there’s “paying billions to get state of the art production capabilities built”

Chances are that capacity wouldn’t be there without Apple’s money, so if Apple didn’t exist, it still wouldn’t be available to others as rapidly as it is now.

> There is no Apple secret sauce.

They didn’t always have loads of money, so, historically, there must have been something else than “they have loads of money and large margins, so can afford to buy the best”.

I think there still is something more than that. For example, it also is about having the courage to decide that milled aluminum is a better way to build laptop chassises, so spending billions on buying/creating the capacity to build millions of such chassises is a good idea, or to decide that, at their size, building your own CPUs is worth doing.

I think part of their secret sauce also is that they have higher standards for what they want to sell. Take for example foldable screens. They must have prototypes with them, but don’t have a product because they don’t deem them good enough.
If you say you are retelling the story and then are writing down the story chapter for chapter, yes. That is what LLMs can do, they don't write something inspired by it they write down a copy of it with switched out words and grammar structure.

After that, you just type in the account number instead of scanning the bar code, and probably do it in less time than it takes to get your phone ready.
