Sure but that doesn't take into account charger efficiency.

Something designed to output 5V-48V might be quite inefficient at generating an asked for 6.65V, perhaps. Optimizing just for the device might be missing gobs of energy efficiency that could easily be found with a little testing & discovery.

There's decent odds that a good PPS implementation on the device - one that can directly connect the supply and battery without having to do intermediary conversions - is the most efficient option. PPS probably is the best choice. But it's not guaranteed. And particularly as we create higher power higher voltage capable chargers, their optimization point might be tuned to much bigger outputs (where they will absolutely require that efficiency to keep cool enough under load). Losses from running your charger sub-optimally could dwarf losses from the device receiving power sub-optimally for it.

The point seems to hold: we need data to know what the best option to do is. This submission showed one way of DIY'ing that data, but devices could also do better jobs self-reporting, which would let everyone tune better.
>2. Recent "Internet culture" has had a lot of sociopathic behavior in genera

So growing up in the pre-internet days, I also saw this behavior in individuals 'in real life'. The typical issue with being a sociopath IRL is for the average person you run out of audience quick. People learn to shun you and stay away, or you meet some bigger badder socio that beats the pulp out of you. I mean, a lot of us have examples of events with lots of teenagers going out of control without a moderating factor there of sometime (generally the cops showing up).

But the internet has always had unmoderated places for these sociopaths to play. In the older net, these places were typically separated on servers in different places. In recent years it's been the massive consolidation of social media giants that has pulled groups from across the planet together with different levels of moderation and expectation.
They indeed do get plenty of free government handouts for R&D. Their labs take a fortune in NIH grants. Sure, a lot of that is to public institutuions but plenty goes to private labs.

Yes. I know. It's just that I had these problems too, when I used cf. Which I tried for speed, and some 'lawful' censoring reasons. Thereby running into the exact same problem.

Then I tried Mullvad-DNS, the speed was still there, the 'lawful' censoring was gone, the problems with archive-sites ceased to exist, and somewhat configurable adblocking-as-a-service.

It's a seamless 'plugin'-solution, not degrading anything.

Triple-A!
You don't avoid drowning in water by avoiding water, you avoid it by learning how to swim. In the case that you find it necessary to swim, you now aren't limited to drowning.

Your privacy extends beyond what you personally expose, being aware of what others see and use your information for and how your information can be protected is how you maintain privacy. You can't fully avoid others keeping information about you online by not being online (banks, retail, flying, identity, tax information, pictures on facebook, school records, ...), but you can understand the evolution of systems that would use your personal information to decide on how you can obfuscate or limit sending information to maintain your privacy. Holding bad actors accountable for mishandling information isn't contradictory to trying to keep your privacy.
> So now, I don't like listening to some of the super fast rough styles that some players have.

Completely agree with you on this point. I find that there are very few players that I actually enjoy listening to. Many players rush their playing and don't follow a clear rhythm or sound clear notes. Tabla is such a difficult instrument to play properly. Seems like it really takes a life time to become a good player. Sort of heart breaking since American life makes it hard to bring that kind of devotion to art (not if you want to be financially secure anyway).
Other than robustness, 'pro' gear mostly expands the range of parameters you can push and still get a decent shot. It's not going to give you an eye.

Elsewhere in thread it's correctly noted that in a lot of cases lighting is more important that cameras anyway. But similarly, you have to know how to set up - same applies though, the gear can't do the setup for you.
I don't really get this perspective. Making it appear that things "just work" is not even showing users the option to try an unvalidated or nonfunctional combination of hardware and software. Staggered releases across models or user fractions are often planned as a matter of routine, even.

Apple certainly doesn't always get it right, but this ain't an example of it. They just bricked some MacBooks during Sonoma updates! Now that's shitting the bed.
With shares you're going to experience worse latency if all the containers on the system size their thread pool to the maximum that's available during idle periods and then constantly context-switch due to oversubscription under load.
With quotas you can do fixed resource allocation and the runtimes (not Go apparently) can fit themselves into that and not try to service more requests than they can currently execute given those resources.

Pretty much the same thing happened to my dad. He was diagnosed with a rare type of blood cancer. The insurance company denied monoclonal antibodies (as recommended by his oncologist) and would only pay for a complete bone marrow transplant, which would have been highly traumatic at his age. All based on a "standard of care" that at that point was 15 years old... and which was originally written by a committee chaired by my dad's oncologist (who presumably knows something about the best way to treat this condition in 2022.)

They didn't reverse the decision until we got a lawyer who knew the ins and outs of the appeals process. Thankfully, we were able to work through that fast enough for treatment to be effective... there's no way we could have paid out of pocket.

The ability of an insurance company to unilaterally deny treatment, or determine what type of treatment a patient receives, is obscene and should be categorically illegal. There is no instance in which a medical bureaucrat should should be able to, sight-unseen, overrule a patient's own doctor.

It's so frustrating.

Well this is awesome for me; I’ve been studying Spanish for a few years, and want to read fiction, but jeez, A Hundred Years of Solitude sure is difficult. I love SF and generally want to read works original in the language.

It's always a tradeoff between responsive movement and realistic movement. RDR2 has very realistic animations, with the tradeoff being slightly "floaty" controls.

Personally I prefer snappy movement i.e. when I press left the screen character moves left immediately. A more realistic looking animation system introduces a delay while you wait for the feet animation to "catch up" to player input.

I think it's pretty clear by now that "anti money laundering" is just the financial arm of warrantless global mass surveillance. Money laundering may be a crime but it does not justify this.

Your local library has a much better offering of niche non-fiction than mine. Many of the texts I see here aren't even available through my school's cross country academic network. I did read this book that way, but I had to wait for it to come quite a distance.

Well this is a postpartum pill so plenty of exercise may be out. Depending on how labor and birth went the mother may not be in any condition to exercise. Also I think most mothers already get more time with loved ones postpartum than other times.

Postpartum is typically a time of little sleep, rapidly changing hormones, and lots of lifestyle changes too. So postpartum depression is very common, and not something that is so trivial to solve.
It's a lazy appeal to authority to immediately say "well where's the study" as though empirical data means nothing.

Everyone I know who is WFH admits they get less done. Yes their quality of life is better, and part of that is working less. A study saying the complete opposite means nothing to me because the world that I occupy says otherwise.
Good news!
Basically all rockchip RK3588 are using a broadcom wifi chip that is built in.

Better news!
Rockchip, by default, ships broadcom's bcmdhd driver, with a few hacks for linux, instead of making brcmfmac work.

See here:
https://gitlab.com/rk3588_linux/rk/kernel/-/tree/develop-6.1...

This is a great driver, which, if you insmod it and rmmod it, will 90% crash your kernel.

But, if you don't look at it too wrong, it will mostly work.

To be fair: DHD is mostly used on Android, and there Google/Broadcom have spent a lot of time making it work well.

Ask HN: Limitations of LLMs?
I have been thinking about LLMs just like everyone else, I guess! The prevailing sentiment seems to be they are going to change the world, from jobs to politics and everything in between. However, I have been wondering if we are perhaps reaching “peak” LLM and we will see a dramatic reduction in progress.

I am a casual observer of this space so I may be barking up the totally wrong tree, but I thought I would put these ideas out anyway to see if anyone has any thoughts.

Lack of quality training data:
Is there a possibility that all the good quality training data has already been used? I would argue that most of the internet doesn’t actually contain good content, and increasing the amount of training data from the internet might actually make these models produce worse output. Moreover, organisations with valuable content could begin to restrict data access, presenting further challenges for training.

AI generated content polluting training data:
This is somewhat related to the previous point, but is there a risk that with LLMs generating so much content that the training data becomes polluted with AI generated text. How would this effect the model output? Is it like taking a photocopy of a photocopy over and over again?

Compute Resources:
We continually hear that Moore’s Law is dead, are we going to start running into compute/memory issues? Without dramatic increases in both compute/memory are we going to hit scaling issues where it simply takes too long or we don’t have the memory to train larger models?

Architecture Limitations:
From my understanding so far adding more and more parameters to a transformer increases its performance. Are we sure that this scales? Or at some point does this performance increase stop or even perhaps go into reverse?

Hopefully these points are not totally off the wall!
It's as if when you decide to put yourself out there publicly on social media you should be prepared to receive negative comments. Who would have thought?
It's not clear to me what the max parallelism should actually be on a container with a CPU limit of .5. To my understanding that limits CPU time the container can use within a certain time interval, but doesn't actually limit the parallel processes an application can run. In other words that container with .5 on the CPU limit can indeed use all 16 physical cores of that machine. It'll just burn through it's budget 16x faster. If that's desirable vs limiting itself to one process is going to be highly application dependent and not something kubernetes and docker can just tell you.

If there was a large portion of the electorate that organized and wanted more housing, all those other changes would happen, as the controlling elected officials would be replaced.

I’ve seen it. Rent control too. It’s rare though, as the segment of the population who does has historically poor turnover and is chronically confused and disorganized.

Pro ‘keep it the same’ groups (and pro landlord groups) tend to be composed of retired professionals with decades of experience generating (and wading) through red tape, and have no issues rallying the most consistent voting block in any area - retirees who don’t want their largest assets and (literal) roof over their heads screwed with.

What you’re talking about is that the governing structure gets setup to diffuse blame and obfuscate responsibility so activists don’t have any obvious individuals they can easily attack. That’s by design, but not the ‘problem’.

Not the same thing.
Who needs a lexer, a parser, and an AST when you can just explicitly feed the tokens into a switch statement that completely falls through if it runs into something it doesn't recognize? This is super easy!

Sorry, I am by no means a compiler expert, but spent enough years in study of them and taken enough stabs at writing my own that this take is hopelessly naive, and I really hope the author realizes it.
It's probably the caps and sarcasm. Good top level comments usually have better discussions.

Just to address the comments directly, I think the issue isn't that someone was mean online. The issue is that the platform is designed to keep impressionable minds engaged at any cost, including their mental health. It's effectively Las Vegas in their pocket, and we wouldn't let 14 year olds loose in Vegas. We have rules for that which we all agreed to pass as laws.

The discussion is at what level and what kind of rules we might need.
There should be more of this. Much more. From different angles and view points but with the same clarity and directness.

Banking is in a deep, existential crisis for decades now and the march of digitization only increases the pressure to find a way forward.

In response techno-solutionists imagine all sorts of replacements, whether it is "fintech", or "banking-as-a-service" or "crypto" but all are hopelessly shallow and incomplete, almost insultingly crude.

What is entirely missing from these neobanking movements is any straight definition of what is the purpose of banking and bankers. What is their irreducible value proposition that cannot be delegated to machines and algorithms. What is their role in society. Are they allies or enemies of surveillance capitalism? Are their users clients or products? Can there be an honest relation with the sovereign monetary system and the lender of last resort or is private banking a scheme to privatize profits and socialize losses? Last but not least, what role, if any, should they play towards environmental sustainability.

The questions and challenges are pilling up and there are no breakthroughs worth mentioning. In a parallel universe we might have something like BN (banking news), where all sorts of individuals, teams small or large, would pimp their blogs, radical ideas, open source solutions or fancy software products, but above all a positive, forward looking vision for a crucial sector.

It’s not just about coverage area. Certain frequencies are better for cellular and especially 5G than others.

> She seems wildly inexperienced.... Clearly smart and motivated, but wildly out of her depth. No wonder they failed to prevent the Microsoft + Activision Blizzard merger. Lawyers with decades of experience on her ran around her in circles

Or maybe because there wasn't actually a good case to block the merger? Neither Activision-Blizzard nor Microsoft are anywhere near monopolies in gaming. Believe it or not "big tech is bad" is not a sufficient case for blocking a merger, actual consumer harm or threat of it has to be demonstrated.

I'm less convinced this is an issue of Kahn and her team's inexperience, so much as that the FTC is being expected (or maybe directed by the executive) to take on cases that don't have any merit to placate public opinion. "Big tech bad" is a popular meme these days, and the FTC is pursuing cases accordingly even if those cases are on very shaky ground.
>2 track recording is still a rare & deluxe feature in most consumer gear!

Even in professional gear, it's usually a ridiculous jump in price - often double - to much fancier hardware to get more channels.

It makes sense as few people do need it, but I do wish there were more assorted consumer electronics that would throw in more channel recording just because. Rather than as an upsell to way more expensive gear.
"T-Mobile’s reddit forums are filled with employees saying the disruptive spirit of the company has been dead since the merger." This argument has less to do with the merger and more to do with AT&T's 3 Billion in cash T-Mo (Deutsche Telekom) received when AT&T failed to buy them is now gone. It's a little easier to be disruptive when you are spending someone else's money.
> An obvious question when formalising a maths paper is how much the proof needed to change to be formalised: in other words whether there were any flaws in the paper. This question is surprisingly subtle, but a simple summary is that most of the mistakes I identified were easily fixable. Importantly all mistakes were fixable in a way that preserved the spirit of the argument, so the Lean version of the proof can reasonably be said to be a translation of the informal proof.

> I like to consider certain such small mistakes “mathematical typos”. It’s fair to call them errors, and just like typos in English prose can confuse a non-native speaker, mathematical typos can impede meaning for a reader who isn’t familiar with mathematics. However, with a little experience, it’s not hard to see what the intended meaning was, and fixing it isn’t too bad. A mathematical typo certainly doesn’t constitute a flaw in the proof, and almost all the problems I found fall in this category.

If only we had better ways to distribute fixes to papers. These kind of issues happen all the time and unlike in code where someone can just come in and provide a fix, these usually remain forever in papers. Yes, some publish errata or upload a new version to the arxiv, but the majority remain as a form of horrendous "exercise for the reader".
If I'm an expert in a field I may quickly notice such issues, but more often than not I won't spend the time required to do so. And hence I probably propagate wrong information myself / wonder why my numerical calculations don't produce the correct result etc.

It is especially bad when branching out into areas somewhat out of your area. The amount of mistakes and utterly wrong information I had to deal with just in the last few months thanks to papers being sloppy is just sad. So much time wasted. :( (I'm a physicist)
