> when exploring the fediverse, we realized that to us, the old internet was mainly defined by a stronger sense of connection/genuineness with other people

This is a sentiment repeated by almost everyone who finds their niche in the fediverse. Once you settle in, you get that early internet magic of simply connecting with people. The fediverse is all about talking to or showing things to other people.

It's pretty interesting what happens when you talk to people instead of just posting into the void. Interactions become purposeful and meaningful because it's clear there's a real person on the other side.

It really does feel like the earlier internet when we all posted anonymously on small forums with a few thousand users total. There's a sense of community.

There's also a really strong selection bias right now. People who use the fediverse are much more likely to be people sick of modern social media and want to return to the old days. So they went out and they goddamn made their own social media and made it feel like the old days.

I think it's a great place to hang out right now. It'll be interesting to see how things evolve over time. There's a push to bring back small websites, blogs and forums and I really hope that takes off.
Certainly, but swinging doesn’t appear to be one of them. You could argue that all mammals share the same basic set of rewards, and that one of them is reward for pushing the envelope of physical excellence. There is a wide variety of observable behavior in different mammals that either needs to be explained by a large number of specialized rewards or one very general one.
I did try to use that, but it removed some other fairly useful functionality that I can't remember now. They clearly don't want people to use that feature.
Is what you’re talking about worth… $10k? Or the likely $100k you paid?
Right, but that biochemistry is not specialized for _swinging from branches_ in particular. We use exactly the same biochemistry for all rewards, from solving puzzles to sex and everything in between.

So the solar panels will have dust and extremely harsh temperature cycles. I don't have any source on that, but I don't think the gained efficiency from the hot sun is going to outweigh the pain (and efficiency loss) from maintaining that efficiency in such an environment.
Certainly! We'd like our good designs to be picked up by frameworks and serve all users. Currently, Punica is built on top of PyTorch and HuggingFace Transformers ecosystems. Therefore, vLLM and LMDeploy, which are also in the PyTorch ecosystem, should have a smooth adaption. As for Nvidia Triton and TensorRT-LLM, since our kernels are written in CUDA, I believe it will also work seamlessly.

We call for the open source community to help us integrate Punica with all frameworks, thus the whole society can benefit from the efficiency improvement!
I think they’d love to be paid a flat fee or by hour, regardless of whether the transaction goes through or not, just like restaurant staff being well paid and not rely on tip. But such is the commission world and have no idea how it all came to be this way.
When the buyers are paying with other peoples' money the High-End has a business they wouldn't otherwise have.

Is the vision model directly reading the screen and therefore also reading the Vimeo tags? It might be more effective to export the DOM tags and the associated elements as a Json object that is fed into chatGPT without using the vision component
If I could unmake the Internet I would in a second, without hesitation.

The lack of local community as everyone moves to a global gray sameness is the grossest thing to happen to this world.

Using it as a crutch to fool yourself into what you think is normal is not healthy and it's not a solution to real problems.

Omegle disappearing is neither surprising nor sad, and it's nothing personal against them specifically.

I expect to get down voted to oblivion because no one likes to hear harsh truths, but the internet has been a net negative for us all

>surgery still can't fix that.

As far as I know, they can adjust for reading distance but you may have to make a choice in terms of what they distance they optimize for. I know people who got surgery after 40 (when your lens tends to be less pliable) that had one eye set for near-sighted and one for far-sighted.

keep in mind that almost all the cost of pv plants is construction (capex), while most of the cost of nuclear is during operation and decommissioning (opex)

so 20 cents per watt capex is close to 60 cents per watt total, twice the price of pv

as emmaengineer pointed out, though, you did the division backwards: it's 0.20 watts per dollar, not 0.20 dollars per watt. the correct quotient is 490¢ per watt, or maybe closer to 15 dollars per watt including opex

$10k is 6% of $166k. Not many homes selling for that now a days.

The median home sale price in June was $426k. Or $25.6k of commission.

Typical Sunnyvale prices were about 2.4million, or $144k commission.

It's a strawman to say that "something isn't always true?" Really? Come on.
My impression is that a fiber installation will have legs and take you a few decades. Of course, we've been wrong many times before.

But in any case, fiber remains impractical, expensive, and power-hungry.
I dislike the phrase “greater than the sum of its parts”; it doesn’t say much. At best it just means that the Kolmogorov Complexity of a message is hard to measure just by looking at the message.
> I thought OSHA and friends didn't allow this. Lockout/tagout is standard.

Yes it is, for plant workers it is a firing offense in many places.

But your typical maintenance tech that is supposed to work on the machinery itself rather than just to be using it may well use lockout/tagout to ensure that the machine is powered off when they are working on it and don't need to be able to do any kind of diagnostics. But short of a complete disassembly and testing each component in isolation - for which there often isn't really time and which given the pressure on maintenance technicians to get a piece of gear working again - people tend to take shortcuts such as to hook up analytics gear to a machine that is live. Stupid? Yes, absolutely. But this kind of stupidity is the result of usually many years of things working just fine and bad practices creep in. The guy that manages to get stuff done rapidly is the one that gets called out. And eventually an accident will happen. Weirdly enough even near accidents tend to reinforce the belief that it worked. When actually the lesson should be that it didn't but the person just got lucky.

One very memorable occasion at an industrial plant I visited is that someone got beaten up for removing a lock and I felt absolutely no sympathy for that guy. He could have well gotten someone killed (large 5 axis mill).
I've had good inspectors who point out everything wrong with a place. I cancelled offers based on their reports. Recently, however, I was on the way to the inspection and had a flat tire, so I was late, both seller and buyer agents were there with the inspector and my agent made sure to tell a different inspector what questions I had from the previous one, and completely missed on the inspection report that the outdoor electrical socket did not have GFCI and it actually had visible burn marks on the paint, also they didn't report that there was no carbon monoxide detector. Just very basic stuff that should be addressed before the transaction is finalized and is part of the negotiation and can lower your price some when the seller doesn't want to fix everything. I suspect that my agent implied that I was putting a lot of stock into their report and pushing him to minimize issues while I wasn't there.

The good inspectors told me about a condo loft that had plumbing issues throughout, probably a $5000 repair, and at a house, a sagging pier and beam foundation causing all sorts of problems.
If a buyer’s agent gets any percentage of a sale, the buyer’s agent and the buyer have misaligned interests. They might ‘represent’ the buyer, but the buyer’s agent has the same economic incentives as the seller (higher price, faster sale, fewer contingencies).
Lina Khan, what are you waiting for? Do the realtors need to start making mean tweets before you will take action?
> It works in Rust because the build.rs lets libraries do whatever they want during the build process, including invoking compilers for other languages.

And also there's a helper library (the "gcc" crate) which does all the work of figuring out how to call the C or C++ compiler for the target platform, so that build.rs can be very small for simple cases. You don't have to do all the work yourself.
We have various structures at a local playground that pose risk. I have a very adept and risk curious toddler who makes his way across a cargo net semispherethat reaches 12’ high at the peak. It drives me nuts. But he can do it and although I don’t offer help I do stand below in case he falls or gets stuck to catch him.

It’s intended for 6+ and with stronger muscles and longer arms it’s safer. But still a risk.
I’m actually not surprised. Meta has had a history of this because their core business is unlocking that psychology in our social graphs from young to old and keeping us hooked to it. Improving mental health would be an opposite direction to their goals since they’d have to reduce usage and inform them of taking breaks and better mental health.
I would presume the first couple of layers of silicon would be wires instead of gates. At least at the edges. Top left to top right,

AFAIK that's what youtube did, but the key eventually got leaked and attackers were using it to enumerate unlisted videos. They ended up switching to randomly generated ids. Unless you're dealing with billions of rows, the additional column + index is negligible, so it's better go with that approach rather than to be clever with encrypting ids
They won’t catch much anyway. Most inspectors take a short stroll through the house, test one or two receptacles and call it a free $400 after that. Their visit is shorter than when you looked at the house.

Maybe there’s good reputable inspectors. Ours weren’t

I wanted to do a fiber run from my office (where my home automation Pi and office computers are) to our living room (where the fiber gateway is), but the cable breaks incredibly easily, dealing with SFP modules is a pain, and if cats discover it, it's game over.

I had similar, however that was 6 years ago or so when the market was just starting to heat up. The appraisal looked at previous sales, but there was such low inventory that there weren't many comps to compare to, and none of them recent. The seller wouldn't come down much, so in order to make up the difference I had to cut into my down payment (which means instead of 20% down it was only 11% down, as only the appraised value counted toward my LTV and I got stuck with PMI for a few years).

If you are getting paid as an engineer, let that happen. Don't ignore ideas just because it's off hours. You don't have to let that thinking take over your life: make a note of the new idea and get to it monday if you want. But these solutions are precious. When they happen, they happen.
I mean UK isn't quite known for its sunny weather, right? I would guess in Norway during the dark part of the year it is even going to be worse.

The farther north you go the more relevant technologies like wind energy and geothermal will become.
Fully agree. Another option would be to add some incentive structure. If I know I can selly home for $200k myself and you sell it for $200k...your value to me was basically $0. If you can sell it for $300k, then I'd be pretty happy to give you a nice chunk of that. 6% no matter what is crazy.
Yes gpt 4. I was fact checking and using places I knew pretty well and would find the occasional error when asking it to describe cities etc and what to do.

Well for itineraries, given that its training data gets cut off at some point, I’d also be worried about it recommending places that are no longer open.

Note that I’m building an app for customers and attempting to build a brand that can be trusted - whereas in your case gpt 4 is probably ideal given you know it’s caveats and can check the important stuff.

Sure but the idea was that open source should be free and available to all, no longer constrained by the cost of physical atoms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source#%22Open%22_versus_...

David Roberts from Volts talked about why he thinks SRMs are overhyped last week. Here's the transcript[^0], but his main points are _(I fed the whole transcript the new GPT-4 128k token model for this)_:

- SMRs are not yet delivering on their promised benefits and cost savings due to challenges in scaling and production.

- The SMR concept is yet to prove itself with efficient and cost-effective factory-made parts and repeatable construction practices.

- Concern exists that the enthusiasm around SMRs could lead to more unfocused subsidies for the nuclear industry without addressing the industry's deeper issues of inefficiency and historical missteps.

- SMRs are seen as one option among many for balancing renewable energy, and they should not be considered the only solution.

- Their capabilities are mostly theoretical at this stage, and there's uncertainty if they can bridge the gap between their promise and reality in terms of cost and deployment hurdles.

- SMRs might receive undue favor over other equally promising technologies for providing firm power.

In conclusion, David believes SMRs are getting more attention and investment than warranted by their current capabilities and progress, potentially detracting from other solutions that may offer better returns or efficiency for transitioning to a renewable energy grid.

The industry buzzword is "Robotic Process Automation", which as a category of products has been focused on using various forms of ML/AI to glue these things together in a common/structured way (in addition to good old fashioned screen scraping).

Up this this point, these products have been quite brittle. The recent explosion of AI tech seems like quite a boon for this space.
Developers aren't developers to learn, they're developers to make a living. There might be a few Kool aid chuggers who want to be better tools for the boss but most folks would rather save the time for themselves and/or their families.

Are AI Girlfriends Ruining a Generation of Men? [video]
Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast had an episode on nuclear October 23:

> The US is taking a fresh look at nuclear power. After a dearth of construction, and de-commissioning of working nuclear plants, people are talking, yet again, about it as a source of steady, affordable, carbon-free electricity. But of course, nuclear has its drawbacks, particularly on the financial side, as new plants have been plagued by cost over-runs, contributing to utility bankruptcies. So what would need to happen to get the economics working again? On this episode we speak with Mark Nelson, the founder of Radiant Energy Group, to discuss the state of the industry, the state of the technology, and what it would take to bring nuclear back into the mix.

Well, I've never really used crypto, save for mining a few bitcoins way, way back in the day. The idea was really appealing and initially seemed revolutionary - but also a bit of a tempest in a teacup.

LLMs -- I've gradually been using them more and more, with tangible benefits (less effort to complete a task / quicker turnaround on projects). Some workflows that were unimaginable are now possible, because of this bi-directional bridge between structured information and human language.

Ask HN: What does a post AGI economy look like?
I know this is a question that has been asked and pondered a thousand times over, but it’s still something I can’t wrap my head around. If our ability to think becomes useless (in the economic sense at least), then how does an economy even function if the price of knowledge and mental labor basically becomes free?

If everyone switches to a physical job then the value of those jobs plummet as well, especially as robotics get better, we get better training via AI, etc.

Sing me your song, O!
Point:

Who fled from the mocking throng, O!
It's a song of a merryman, moping mum,
Whose soul was sad, and whose glance was glum,
Who sipped no sup, and who craved no crumb,
As he sighed for the love of a ladye.
