I have the opposite experience - now sure, maybe to your cousin from Cedar Rapids.

If I'm taking to another Californian, I'm not gonna tell them Los Angeles, I'll tell them Long Beach, if I'm talking to a Southern Californian, then that becomes Los Alamitos.
I probably sit in the middle, where I see the value of good signs (and good design in general) to properly guide the users so they don't have to rely on heuristics and "blind" fallbacks. In particular for airports where dealing with huge influx of users at peak time is critical.

On the other hand, for many people, having to talk to a security guard and move to the lane on the other side is a non-event, and they might have tried to talk to the guard even if there was absolutely no need for it, if they felt it wouldn't be an issue for the guard (not too busy, looks bored etc.). Efficiency could be super low on their priority list, if it wasn't they'd be paying a lot more attention to the signage in the first place.
They won't if the M3 turns out to be a significant upgrade.
> I greatly expect Apple's power to performance advantage to drop significantly, if not be overtaken by the likes of AMD, etc

Nope. Apple and AMD both use TSMC for manufacturing. It's all made by the same factory. AMD does not have the advantage there. Apple buys the most capacity on the most advanced process nodes since they place much bigger orders (Apple also has 10x more cash than AMD).
It can run the latest OS with the open core project
> I don't get it, you put that information on the internet, you have no expectation to privacy.

While that is somewhat true, there are multiple angles to it. The big one is expectations. It used to be that if you shared something on an obscure forum that had like 100 readers, most of those people expected that only 100 would see their posting. And it was true, so it reinforced the expectation for nontechnical people, which is basically everyone within a rounding error.

Then everything gets indexes and now fed to AI and suddenly billions of people have easy access to what they felt was very limited in distribution.

You could file this under "People don't threat model correctly", but also (more importantly) under the fact that technology should consider human nature before breaking expectations.

I am fairly sure they sold them by the palet but it was most likely one of the lowest margin products they had if not the absolute lowest.
They could not raise the price for historical reasons, so uncle Scrooge asked to sell small iMacs or Studio Displays that cost more than the base iMac used to cost, for a fat 50% margin.
how is a 13-year old going to get access to a DNA synthesizer, incubators, growth media, and numerous kits for replicating and transfecting bacteria with a plasmid, or to incubate some virus, along with all the assays and such needed?

even if this 13-year old somehow found herself alone in a fully-equipped BSL-3 laboratory, it's still a fuck-ton of work. far from "almost 0 effort."

not knowing what to do is not the bottleneck.
That's not true. I use stress timing without even realizing that I'm using it nor understanding what it means, but I can realize when someone doesn't use it. I learned it purely by ear, by mimicking the sounds other people make. More specifically, by copying their cadence.
LOL. What did this comment (no pun!) do for your HN karma points?
> Because the productivity gains from upgrading can be quite large relative to the cost of upgrading, esp when you factor in the average salary in this community.

You see, this is simply not true. At all. By far.

I have a cheap Intel laptop released 8-10 years ago. It shipped with 8GB of RAM and 4 cores. I bought it on a clearance sale for around $500. I use it still to this day to work on webapps, including launching half a dozen services with Docker Compose. The only time I experience any type of slowdown is when I launch IntelliJ.

I also have new kit, including a M2 MacBook.

There is absolutely nothing I can do with my M2 laptop that I cannot do well with my cheap old Intel laptop. Nothing. The only issue I have with my old laptop is battery life, and that's just because I don't bother replacing it.

Please do point out a single concrete example of "productivity gains" that I would get by spending $2k on a new laptop.
It's rare. The answer would then depend, I guess, on how comfortable are you in allowing mentally troubled people to opt-in in for suicide.
No, I am not tangled in it, I'm aware of it. I think you may be tangled in "free software" orthodoxy tho, and confused by it! :)

Moreover, I am reflecting the confusion between free as in price-free and free as in restriction-free in the original comment. Ergo: "FS is about freedom" suggests restriction-free. "Not paying rent" suggests price-free.

I am also suggesting the FS dogma is deceptive, and clouds the issue. You will do well to think more deeply of these things, instead of simply quoting from a FS site.

Please go back and read my original comments to which you are replying. The meaning may be in there to set you free from this! :)
Does this really surprise anyone lol
MIPS died for android well before that - they only had microcontroller-level cores in development, which were rather unsuited to the performance requirements of android.
Additives might be useful, but there is potential to weaken the concrete, and that'd make things worse, not better. EG, forcing rebuilds too often.

The reason I diverged from vines, is because multi-cellular is too slow. I think what we'd need to do, is create some sort of thin mat you lay over the concrete, just unroll it, and it has dormant bacteria along with whatever input(food) it requires to consume CO2.

So it then, much like yeast in bread, multiplies quickly, and you're left with a thicker mat to roll up and dispose of, grind up, say for fertilizer.

I envision the mat to be thin, akin to plastic rolls you get to keep insulation in place. They could be comprised of entirely organic materials, food for the bacteria. You know, such a thing should be possible, but would the bacteria multiple quickly enough? And likely water would be required as an additional.
Reg date proves nothing. Accounts can be shared, sold, or hacked.

Calls into question claims that there have been substantiative gains made in that arms race, though- which is the point of this sub-thread in the first place!

100% automation is certainly the Holy Grail but too much attention is focused on it. Most fast-food operations could be improved with more investment in automation, but they'll need to pick and choose which tasks make sense to automate and which ones do not. A system that allows two employees to do the work that now would take six employees? That's a big win for the company and customers but a loss for the four people who won't be able to find a job.

Also want to be careful to not get into a McDonald's ice cream machine type situation. Whatever McDonald's reason for getting into that pit, be it squeezing franchisees or having been out maneuvered by the machine manufacturer, adding more machines creates more opportunities for that type of failure.
HTMX is pretty much feature complete though.
I wonder how they designed it all so that it would be machined in earth's atmosphere at ambient temperature, made to open in a cold near-0K vacuum, collect electrostatically charged fine dust material of unknown chemistry, close up the container despite deformation from pressure and temperature differential since machining, reenter atmosphere at high temperature... then come back to earth... and then the bolts are supposed to not have seized or deformed or obstructed or be under excessive force from the pressure.

I'm sure they somehow designed around all this? Or am I over complicating the nature of the problem?
Do I win because I didn't press either?

Wonder if you have flown in recent years?

Flights are now set up so that the last several groups who board have zero space for carryone luggage. So if you board after all the space is gone you are in for a very bad time. For a while it started to become an unspoken rule, and now they even announce it on the loudspeaker: if you are in group N or above (N depends on airline) you won't have any space left.

This may surprise, but Japan is not China. Their culture is not the same. Further their culture was shifted to capitalism at the end of WWII. Citing Japan, is supporting my point about culture.

Mass marketing things isn't innovation. It's copying. DJI seems like more copying. "Innovation" isn't marketing. It's raw research and development, along market paths which are useful. This requires a desire for change, a desire to not conform first, but capitalism first, and this is what China's culture does not have.
Where did this list come from?
Plausibly they thought market is saturated with M1:s and targeted this to entice M1 users to switch.
Great work, may I suggest more analysis features?

- example summary, for better topic embedding

- RAG based summary, to have the model critically assess its training data distribution and answer questions on it; to bring together information sitting in separate examples

- named entities, for knowledge base; maybe it helps with fact checking later

- implicit tasks present in the text, what are the tasks a LLM could learn from a given example?

- chain-of-thought augmentation, to bring out implicit deductions and reduce information fragmentation; it has been shown in the Phi-1.5 paper and Orca that synthetic CoT datasets are superior source materials

What data fragmentation? Look at the Reversal Curse paper. Models that train on "A is the father of B" fail to generate "B is the son of A". This kind of connection needs to be explicitly added, and would improve task solving as well.

Training on purely organic data is not good enough anymore. All powerful models train on a mix of organic and synthetic data, some models on 50-50 proportions, like the web+synth variant from Phi-1.5.

The main idea is to go deeper into the raw data, to infuse it with insight. LLM dataset preprocessing is going to be expensive, comparable to training costs, but the results are worth the effort.
Not exactly no - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63960319/does-it-matter-...

You need to be running a GPU driver on the host that supports the container cuda version.

So in theory yes, in practice, weird issue occur sometimes that really suck to debug. For example why do I get NaN loss after spending 8 days on 128 GPUs with this specific set of drivers+cuda container? (Don't hold it that way, use a matching cuda version...)

Also a lot of data scientists HATE sys-admin tasks and docker falls squarely into that for many people.
You're making a really strange and unfounded assumption I frequently see, where you seem to want to absolve the common people of all guilt.

The idea that common white people 100+ years weren't massively racist is, honestly, ridiculous and downright insulting. Racist policies didn't come from a few leaders that somehow got themselves elected; regular people believed that way too. There's no shortage of historical evidence for this fact, and you trying to deny it really sounds a lot like flat-eartherism.

That shouldn't stop you from including such a link in the header and keep the non-oneclick link in the footer. Nowadays, emails are forwarded embedded, not as EML attachments, so the header link wouldn't be included. You have to jump through hoops to forward as EML.
You’re literally talking about creating a walled garden around what is currently an open ecosystem in which devices already purchased by people - including people with limited financial resources - will no longer work. All under the justification of ‘it solves cheating’. PC games have cheaters since forever, they’ve worked around that problem despite having less operating system and hardware control.

Not to mention the fact that eventually any hardware based controls will be circumvented - this is a device which converts mechanical actions to digital, so there’s nothing to stop physical control modifications.

The whole thing is either lazy, incompetent, or greedy, and won’t solve anything anyway.

Thank you Gregory for writing this post. There have been a bunch of announcements about "setup.py has been deprecated", but few have clearly outlined how to move away from setup.py, and more importantly, fewer have outlined what a struggle it is to move away from setup.py.

I was sad to see setuptools officially deprecated, because it looks like another way in which Python packaging is being red-taped away for a non-expert. If someone like the OP (who has 10+ years programming Python) had to do so much for what appears to be a zstd CFFI/Rust wrapper, where does that leave the rest of us?

Here's a python package of mine that uses setup.py: https://github.com/ahgamut/cliquematch/blob/master/setup.py which I have not upgraded to the new tool(s) yet. I think I will need to upgrade it soon. If anyone has suggestions for a tool that will _fully replace_ setup.py, I would like to see tutorials with the following examples:

1. How would I build a package that has pure-Python files and data files? With setuptools I would use maybe MANIFEST.in or package_dir.

2. How would I build a package that has a CPython extension accessed via cffi? (this post points to the answer)

3. How would I build a package that has a CPython extension _without_ cffi, that just wraps some small C code I wrote with CPython's API? What about an extension that uses PyBind11? What about an extension that uses Rust?

4. How would I build a package that requires a "system" package like libblas-dev? Can something like numpy be built optimally without ever writing setup.py? What would a config for that look like? Last I remember numpy used their own patch of distutils to build, I wonder what it is now.
Human Memory Management: Techniques for Actionable Security Research
I have a MA in art and am currently on a commision that selects a painting professor for one of the prolific central european art schools. I have never heard of the guy.

There is a lot of art that is basically just crafts. Technically skilled and beautiful to many people who have been to a museum once or twice (and there are many of those!) — people are baffled by the fact that someone can paint realistically — ignoring a rich art history that should make clear that doing just that is the bare minimum and clearly not the point of good art.

But in the end all those works are more or less uninteresting beyond that. They lack the stuff that makes Mona Lisa's smile famous, the stuff that Hopper has in his pictures, the crows over the fields in Van Goghs paintings, Yves Kleins blue etc. If your art lacks the art while delivering technical skill it will still remain ultimately hollow. And if your ownly impact your art makes on the world is fighting your critics you should wonder why you are doing it.
I think the point of GP is "following the herd" is also a strategy that works 90% of the time (I would argue 99% of the time if there is no malicious intent to mislead involved). It's not by chance that this behaviour has been selected by nature. It is simple. It works in a lot of cases including cases where there are no signs or where you can't read the signs. And it makes for a great fallback strategy when you have a better strategy for the specific case.
And yet Japan and Korea both were shifted to more Western modes of thought, about innovation, development, and an adoption of democracy and personal rights. This supports my point.
> It's tied to your employer

This is a non-issue. You can roll it over penalty-free into an IRA when you leave. Anything you contributed is still yours, though there might be a vesting schedule for the employer match.

> Even when it's available, it's not mandatory to save anything.

As long as it's not hard to sign up, I'm an adult. I can save money on my own.

> Investment options are often active funds

My employer has a good plan, and some of the options are Fidelity target date funds. These are great options, and I've been seeing them at more employers. Granted, some might not have these options.

> It's too easy for retail investors to panic

Again, I'm an adult. Every financial advisor says don't do that.

Individuals aren't responsible enough to save money on their own, but the group that couldn't elect a leader for 3 weeks, can barely pass a bill to keep the government running for the next 45 days, plays chicken with the credit limit, and is watching its credit score fall because of these shenanigans is responsible enough?
It allows all of those channels to join a competing platform that's better suited for education, rather than piggy backing on a platform built for watching nonstop cat videos. Education and YT are not remotely good for each other.

> When you gate-check your bags, they are handled carefully

Spend some time at the window seats at the gate looking at earlier flights and how gate-checked luggage is handled.

It gets thrown down this chute that drops hard some 20ft to the ground. It also gets very carelessly thrown in there, so a bunch of the bags miss the chute and just drop straight down to the concrete. If you had anything other than clothes in there, ouch! You'll get back a back full of destroyed fragments.
This is interesting. Does it have any performance impact?
The universe led up to this moment where you fool yourself into thinking you have free will just cause you sat still for a bit. Doesn't mean much.

Think about it, if the universe is all predetermined, how peaceful your mental state is or isn't has no impact on it. We all either have free will or not, but breathing deep isn't gonna trigger it.

There's no reason a whole Thunderbolt bus is needed for every two displays. It's just Apple's decision to build their GPU that way.

And to not support industry standard NVIDIA GPU on ARM Macs, too. 1 GPU typically supports 5 output over as little bandwidth as PCIe x1.
I'd expect anything asteroid-, moonlet-, moon-, planetlike traveling at 3/4 lightspeed to glow rather intense, thus not suddenly hitting, because visible long before impact.
