> without having the 'every NPC has 10k-poly teeth in their mouth' problem that's currently sabotaging Cities Skylines 2's performance

Sad to see an otherwise good comment end with a misconception. The problems with the performance is much grander than just "teeth rendered but not visible" (https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/), although I guess it's a illustrative point. Missing LODs and lack of culling are the grander issues.
Citibank was bailed out, the stock rose over 50% overnight and the CEO got paid hundreds of millions.
I feel similarly. I think people just tend to be put off by SQL and the programmer answer of 'just another abstraction' takes over.

It's not good, but it's not bad enough to justify ORM complexity. Then again I've worked in places where no one knew what an index was so maybe they make sense in such environments.

Ask HN: Who has many hours of video they'd like analyzed?
Hello HN, doing some quick market research. Just genuinely trying to understand some of the following, if this is relevant to you:

1) Do you have many hours of video (feeds, streams, recordings, etc) that contains some useful info you need within?

2) How much video data (hours, GBs, etc), generated how often?

3) What info or insights do you need from the videos? Why do you have the videos in the first place?

4) What industry are you in, pertaining to the work/activity involving all this video data?

Cheers :)

It really boggles my mind that this works on anyone. We all see the commercials for financing. We all see teenagers with no jobs having them.

I'm a bit mind boggled that Apple was able to turn <$1000 tech products into 'luxury' products. Maybe it makes more sense if you didn't get screwed by iTunes DRM and were more open minded during iphone Era.
You can debias it relative to any standard you choose, and maybe should if there is one particularly applicable to the intended use case, but the more important thing for models intended for broad, multi-domain use is to document and disclose biases, and ideally any particularly effective techniques for nudging them for particular applications short of fine-tuning/retraining.

Is your use case team collaboration and productivity or just for fun? I saw some people have built stuff like FB Messenger bots using GPT.

I think one problem with the idea is that the cost is very high unless you do some optimization work.

$0.03/1k tokens for GPT-4, and if you use the full 8k context window then assume each message costs roughly $0.24.

At 20 message per day, OpenAI costs would be $5/day, and that is like $150/month.

Compare to ChatGPT at $20/month with unlimited messages and it's pretty hard to see how this can monetize. Either OpenAI is baking in a ton of margin to the GPT API or they are selling ChatGPT at a huge loss.

I don't know if there's any feature you can add on top that makes it worth 6-7x just using ChatGPT on its own.

Maybe you can optimize by using some other models or using less of the context window. But even if you cut costs by 50% you are still paying OpenAI $70-$80/month/user and I don't know if anyone is willing to pay that vs just using ChatGPT.

I saw there is this Team-GPT app: https://team-gpt.com/. They charge some money and you bring your own GPT token. So it looks cheap but I guess it's still super expensive, you're just paying OpenAI directly.
More importantly, Yahoo should have let MS buy them and massively overpay… would have been a substantial blow to get MS out of the way.
In the cab, I see mostly just flat surfaces and simplified corners incorporating the plate glass, all of which seems driven by low cost manufacturing while also meeting basic structural requirements.

It's been disappointing to see Khan's FTC focus so much on big tech—and frequently fail to make their case—when so many other anti-competitive behavior in other sectors has gone unchecked. The consolidation of medical firms and hospitals comes to mind. Feels like they are picking their fights based more on ideology than on trying to minimize harms to American consumers from anti-competitive practices.

ORMs are a tool that can be abused, but eventually you need something that loads data from your database and places it into an in-memory object. Given how repetitive the SQL and mapping code is, why wouldn't you use a tool to automate that, even if you're an SQL expert?

Async doesn’t really have much to do with multicore. Indeed the most used async environment on the planet (JavaScript) is (used to be) strictly single-threaded. Async is all about keeping the CPU busy even though the stuff it does involves latencies thousands or millions of times longer than CPU timescales – and about abstractions that allow you to pretend you’re writing normal synchronous code when the reality is anything but. This mostly just involves chopping up the code and turning it into a state machine.

Async is almost useless when you’re not incredibly I/O bound. But many people these days are because the web ate the world.

C did and does have a poor almost-anything story but it doesn’t and didn’t really matter because C hasn’t been relevant on the web since 1995 or so.
> A lot goes to military, policing, law, prisons, etc

I never implied it all goes to welfare. Yet other things, like healthcare, education, infrastructure and loads of other things do provide some utility.

> of that that $18 + $4

Assuming you agree my example is somewhat accurate it's actually $18 + $4 + $5 = $27

Capital gains etc. will also be paid on the $14 further decreasing it.

Now let's look at actual data instead of saying silly things about oppression, social spending:

OECD average: 21.1% of GDP
France: 31.6%
Italy: 30.1%
Germany: 26.7%
US: 22.7%

Total Government spending:

France: 59% of GDP
Italy: 54.1%
Germany: 51%
US: 44.9%

So if more than half = tiny according to you, then yes you're correct. Of course since this data doesn't support your views who cares...
I remember reading an unabridged edition of Huck Finn in 7th grade that my mom had in her book collection. I was shocked at how different it read than our assigned copies. And no, I'm not talking about the racial slurs. The abridged version was in a simplified English, paragraphs and whole chapters had been edited out or reordered, whereas the unabridged version was a colorful and playful style of English such that I had never before encountered. I was a voracious reader and it still took me a month or so to get through the unabridged version of the book. I had to "translate" the witticisms and puns, but came to realize in time that Mark Twain was exceptionally clever, very funny, and not at all as racist as the volume of N-words would have it appear. (For the record, I'm Black).

Nowadays, I doubt any schoolchild gets exposure to unabridged anything unless they have a parent with archaic book collections.

For those more knowledgeable than me:

How would it play out if the Treasury decided to ignore the debt-ceiling outright, and continue to service the national debt? Imagine a policy that says, "In accordance with the Fourteenth Amendment, we will continue to pay bondholders their due monies" or something like that.

I don't think the 14th amendment gives the Treasury that power, but that's not what I'm asking. Imagine they decide to interpret it that way. The Supreme Court rules against them. They ignore the Court and continue to pay.

What happens then?

I guess what I'm getting at is: what is worse, a Constitutional Crisis? Or a default on our debt? To me it seems like the better outcome would be to ignore the Court altogether on this issue.

(I'm sure I'm making naive assumptions in this questions. Let me know!)
>The government cannot run out of its own money. It can cause inflation, but continuing to pay social security benefits is not going to suddenly cause massive inflation.

> Who cares if it "grows"?

I understand what you're trying to say here, but it's extremely naive. For one, the employees definitely care, because they want their pay to keep up with cost of living. The owners want the business to be successful so they get a return on their investment.

> Why is it never good enough to just have an ongoing business that works?

Unfortunately, as soon as you employee people it is never good enough to make sure the business operates without growth. Unless, of course, you're wealthy enough to fund the business through the hard times.

Now that source/supply and sink/drain/device are usb-c, it seems like this kind of flexibility would be possible for a huge number of systems.

It'd be interesting for systems to expose their efficiency curves, to make these kind of decisions optimally. Maybe your charger is much more efficient at 20v that the power efficient optimal solution is to pipe 20V in, even at low power modes. There's all kinds of optimization problems we could tweak, if this sort of efficiency data were visible.

If the impeachment and its aftermath were a coup, they were definitely not a "60s style coup".

All you say in this case is that "the actual offer letters are proprietary information of the company that I'm applying to and I'm not at liberty to share them" or some similar verbiage.

FWIW I've done this several times (multiple offer scenarios where I have companies compete against each other for me) and never once has a company asked to see actual proof of the other offers on condition of hiring me. If that was a condition, I would say, sorry, I'll go with one of the other ones

You've hit the nail mostly on the head. Paper is a problem, for obvious reasons, especially the amount of triplicate hand filled forms that require all of your PII every time. The second issue is access control vs. expediency. Millions of people, all over the world, can digitally access huge amounts of your personal information at a whim, by only having your name, or your military email address.

This is an important requirement for quickly checking on a person or their orders or their training status, but at the sacrifice of personal information security for you. It gets even worse going to the VA, which I can say from personal experience, will happily allow just about anyone to have whatever information they want about you. I got a happy surprise letter from them stating that my DD-214, a super identity document, containing information found on a birth certificate, a social security card, a driver's license, plus so much more, had been put on a thumb drive by a third party contractor, along with thousands of other service members info, and sold to a dark web information broker. So, the problem is just that it's to the military's benefit to not protect you.

(Arguing with the point you present, not against you, since it seems like you mostly disagree with it too.)

Reason 1 to reject spying for this reason: literally any spying could be justified this way. Every butterfly's wing flap could theoretically contribute to a "national security risk". In line with that great quote that "If no amount of risk is acceptable, then any amount of surveillance is justified." There's no way to use this logic to ever argue that you shouldn't spy on someone.

Reason 2 to reject this: when we start broadening the scope of "national security risk" to include things like "economic disruption", then essentially anything that's outside of the status quo is suddenly classified as a risk. Basically our spy agencies' jobs become protecting the entrenched interests of those already in power. A technological breakthrough in battery tech has a big potential for "economic disruption"; is that a national security risk? What if it's invented in Iran? Would the U.S. sabotage the (hypothetical) "Iranian national energy laboratory" if it were on the cusp of a revolutionary technology that could weaken the U.S.'s economic position?

Reason 3 to reject this: we get it wrong. If the CIA's "terrorist detector" says Joe Schmoe has a 99% chance of becoming an active terrorist, based on his religion, political views, age, recent Google searches, facial hair, income, and gait, what is the actual probability of him becoming an active terrorist? The standard "Bayesian false-positive" puzzle applies here: the base-rate of humans committing actual terrorist acts is extremely low. Even if the CIA's terrorist-detector model is 10x better than OpenAI's wet dreams, there's no way it's more than 99% accurate. With a base rate of something like 10^-6, we're looking at a roughly 0.01% chance that Joe is actually a terrorist, given a very accurate model giving a 99% positive result. Do we think the person making the decision about whether to make Joe disappear is aware of these subtle nuances in Bayesian statistics? Even if he did, he also knows that if Joe did go on to bomb an office building, there might be a headline soon that "the CIA's own model said Joe Schmoe had a 99% chance of being a terrorist and DID NOTHING!!" So of course Joe disappears forever, based on a futurecrime, because he Googled the wrong thing at the wrong time in his life with the wrong skin color and facial hair.

Put all these reasons together and you can get some really questionable behavior from these agencies, and that's even assuming it's all done with the legitimate good intention of protecting the U.S.

The problems start when you have outside investors.

The worst problems happen with a public listing. Your biggest shareholders will be fund managers. They are judged by how well they do in annual rankings. Their incentive is to make the share price go up over the next few months.

The only way to avoid it is to stay private.

Financial incentive structures are very hard to get right. People will always find ways of gaming the metrics.

I truly believe that most people who enforce Shakespeare in education without acknowledging the absolute bawdiness of his works are themselves barely literate or poorly educated, and could not think of anyone more suitable.

Completely agree that banks should provide prescriptive guides.

IME they really don’t like when you work around their eg 50k/day ACH transfer limit by initiating 50k ACH transfers on 4 consecutive days to move an account of 200k. But they don’t tell you what they actually want you to do if you want to move 200k - and for obvious reasons they probably don’t want to make these transfers fully frictionless. They just assume you’ll know to show up at a branch in person or get on a phone to ask about it and treat you like a criminal if you don’t.
