Apple doesn’t have anything close to the experience of running things “at scale” as Microsoft, Google or Amazon. Completely different levels. Apple would have challenges maintaining the update infrastructure for any of these other orgs. They simply do not exist on the same scale of compute power and management. I say this as an Apple apologist whose entire household consolidates on Apple devices and services. iCloud is simply nothing compared to the scale and capabilities of OneDrive and related services. I don’t think cash alone is enough. Proven ability to execute at scale matters.

Hey HN,

I'm a pilot, entrepreneur, and formal data analyst.

I've seen many aspiring entrepreneurs struggling to pitch their business ideas to investors...

So I made IntelliWebi, investor-persona chatbot. Here are two benefits:

1. Save your time and money to hire a consultant
2. Verify your business idea by getting a feedback

Hope this solution helpful to develop your business

GPS receivers are required to have excellent stability (<<1ppm), but not accuracy. The problem of marine chronometry was also about stability and not accuracy. After all, if you have a stable but inaccurate clock and can't tune it for some reason, it's straightforward to compensate for the offset when measuring to calculate your position.
Deciding when someone is done speaking is hard to do well and impossible to do perfectly. Some people finish speaking, then think of something else to say and pretend they were still talking.
I'm not that old, I'm in my 40s, but it astounds me how many people I know that cannot receive any kind of broadcast media. If their internet connection goes down, they have no TV, no radio, and often, no way of making or receiving a phone call.

This astounds me. I could not live with such a dependence on a single means of communication.
> (as all the reporting I've read up to this point, including internal OpenAI memos) it was basically a difference of opinion in the direction of OpenAI that led to his ouster.

The reporting as I've seen has been essentially all one-sided, by people who support Altman, who obviously has a vested interest in portraying him as doing nothing wrong. Even the OpenAI memo doesn't exonerate him of wrongdoing--it just says that any wrongdoing he did doesn't implicate any work going on at OpenAI.

If, for example, Altman was failing to disclose conflicts of interests to the board, that would comport with all statements given so far and still be quite serious wrongdoing for a CEO. Given that the statement was pointed and harsh enough for there to need to be wrongdoing to fully break the board's trust in the CEO, and there's a variety of wrongdoings that Altman could have done that wouldn't contradict available evidence, I'm inclined to believe that he in fact did do one of those wrongdoings.
Respecting vary headers is not this simple. Given a request, how do you calculate a cache key that includes only the Vary headers? You only get that list in actual responses from the server, so you need to actually look at some information derived from previous responses to determine what to hash on each request. This is called "partial match retrieval", and is much more complicated (and computationally intensive) than cases where you can calculate a hash key as a pure function of the request.
Here in Oslo, Norway there's quite a lot of street chargers around. Not quite as convenient as having one in your garage, but much better than nothing.

Though with cars getting longer ranges it's less of an issue. We got a new BEV recently and even though we have a charger at home we're down to charging once or twice a week for the most part.

TL;DR be curious and scrutinize

When you want to learn something, you probably have some kind of goal in mind. Let's use this as an example: you want to learn about Auth, because you need to integrate OAuth in an application.

Sure, you could just read a tutorial that does exactly accomplish your task, and you are "done". The tutorial will probably tell you, call this API endpoint, use this library, do this and that. But now you only know how to implement OAuth in your application, which may be fine, or enough for you.

But with tinkering I mean, that you don't just learn/read about the requirements for your task, but go a bit 'beyond'. For example, you set up an Identity Provider (e.g. Authentik, Zitadel, Keycloak, ...) which is 'out of scope' for your task, but now you are on the other side of the API endpoint, you can play around with the settings, see what might change with the OAuth integration in your application. Treat it like a sandbox, it's not production, you can 'build' anything you like, you now have power over both sides of the application, stuff you would never be able to do, as you are only tasked to integrate that API endpoint in your application, but would never be tasked, to deploy that API, as this is 'not your job'. You'll maybe spot one or two things, which are good to know for your integration, which you would've never seen in a Tutorial. You'll already pick up some terms that will later pop up while debugging your integration.

Your goal may be something completely different from my example, but what I'm trying to say is. If you want to learn something, because you need/want to do $X don't only learn to do $X but also take a peek at what happens end-to-end, be curious, and maybe question why someone in a tutorial says do $A and doesn't even mention $B. You'll never know that $B exists, even if it may be the better solution to do $X in your case.
In the mid 80s I used to pay $6.25 an hour (plus phone fees, which ran hundreds of dollars a month for calls to a local number) to connect to Compuserve at 300 baud!
Humbly suggesting “Automation” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automation_(video_game)) for the cars category, because not only is the engineering side of things relatively in depth, you can export your designs and drive them in another game which is heavy on physics simulation, BeamNG.
you're conflating user-friendliness with user power and capability.

An app can be very user friendly, but does not give the user the power they didnt know they wanted. This is what handbrake is - you get a nice GUI, you get to choose from a list of presets (unless you know what you're doing and customize it). Then you click go - you can even queue up more files.

Someone who is using handbrake is not going to learn the command line. How would they know how to queue up ffmpeg? Don't say batch scripts, because that's not something a normal user would use.
This should not even be something I need to say in a forum of adults, but let me make this very clear, a government without citizens is nothing. The USA is not a small island nation with a lot of natural resources that can ignore it's people. Don't let your childish hatred of rules make you think that being ruled by corporations is a better alternative.
It seems difficult to argue the additional self knowledge in the second version hasn’t come from its own learning. By my lights, this indicates the program is progressively becoming more self aware.

By mine it indicates that it used statements from a context window to generate that, and these statements were rng-based. A similar thing happens when you upload grey_static_noise.png into the img2img tab and loopback the result for few iterations. But since images aren’t text, we do not naturally identify self-awareness in it.

But at least two questions arise. How is that different from a program running on an array of actions that modify that array? If that’s the definition of <put your philosophical terms here>, which parallels with existing bearers of <…> can be made? (and with that program)

Not mathematician, but often one plans for their thesis one or two years before they think of graduation, and at that point thesis topic is kind of "fixed" so you need to execute ~70% of it. Anything risky you don't plan into the thesis
That's my point: bullshit artists who raise more capital (and spend it wisely) will outdeliver earnest engineers who don't.

Because with capital, you can hire (mercenary) engineers.
Cassette tapes were better than vinyl which seemed old to young people although they were cheap. I bought a John Lennon 45 when I was 12 years old all I knew of were 45 records. But yeah cassettes were whiny you got used to it due to their convenience.

I couldn't wait for CDs I got a CD player as soon as I could about four years later with my first paycheque (well several cheques). The only problem was I needed an amplifier too so I found a broken jukebox and ripped out the speaker.

And yes it was like the future amazing crystal clear audio and best of all no rewinding or waiting between songs.

Its somewhat telling that as much as we like to reminisce about the early internet, none of us actually use the parts of the internet that emulate that era.

The internet now is better by just about every metric. Its just not the internet of our teenage years, so like geezers in perpetuity back to the beginning of time we Luke things better how they were when we were teenagers, even if reality doesn't agree with those fond memories.
Exactly. If new Altman AI company is the next big thing, then Astral AI is the next trillion dollar company

> I remember when having a cassette tape for something started being very uncool - when CDs were getting big.

I was there... Thing is: the difference in sound quality was night and day between a typical cassette and a CD.

It was as if I was born a second time and I still regard that Philips/Sony joint venture (creating that 16 bit/44.1 kHz/stereo format and the associated CD) one the biggest invention of my lifetime.

Civil union is a legal figure (approved in 2002) that grants less rights than marriage. Same sex marriage was legalised in 2010. What she is proposing is taking a step backwards in terms of rights.
No, this is what I said:

> Exactly, any male who disregards women's boundaries and imposes himself on a female-only space is exhibiting predatory behaviour by ignoring the lack of consent. Those males who call themselves women are no exception to this.

Then it was you who brought up this unlikely scenario:

> I disagree that men in women's bathrooms is inherently predatory. Frankly, this discriminates against fathers of young children because often one has to bring a daughter into the bathroom or change their infants diaper.

To which I replied with the following, consistent with my earlier comment in that the father needs to ensure that if such a rare and urgent scenario should arise, he receives consent from the women present and to ensure he isn't disregarding boundaries and imposing himself:

> I don't agree with you on this, in almost all circumstances they should be using the bathroom appropriate for the sex of the adult, which in this case is the male one. If there genuinely is no baby changing facility available that isn't in the ladies' bathroom then for the welfare of the child an exception can be made, but the father needs to check with the women using this space first.

> This scenario is very different to the males who feel entitled to use women's spaces whenever they please and for their own satisfaction, rather than to provide for their child as in your example.

Of course the best option is that baby changing facilities are provided in unisex or male-only spaces too, which is often the case these days.

As for this part of your comment:

> You're also still not addressing the fundamental fact that women who have never experienced male puberty experience far, far more abuse by other nosey weirdos trying to get into their genitalia just because they don't perform the sort of femininity demanded to enforce who gets to take a piss in the McDonald's.

Firstly, there are no women who have experienced male puberty. The people who experience male puberty are boys and then men.

Secondly, this isn't a "fundamental fact", it's something you're claiming because you want to try to justify the invasion of women's spaces by men who pretend to be women.

Thirdly, I see you're still narrowly focusing on bathrooms and are ignoring the growing problem of these men demanding and gaining access to other spaces that were female-only up until their incursion. Any comment on, as I discussed above, that in some jurisdictions these men are being incarcerated in the female prison estate, and how harmful this has been for women prisoners?
Note that it’s a very short game.
>> "When everyone agreed that there was only two biological sexes, and the two were immutable."

I had people like Galileo and Darwin in mind. So no, politics in science is not new. And no, there has never been universal agreement on...that. We'll call it a "statement" to not run afoul of the guidelines. You would have to restrict your view to a fantastically thin and non-contiguous slice of geography, history, and ideology to consider it true, and it would be absurd to take someone who does that seriously.

You are politicizing science. Mind your glass house.
That is frustrating to no end. If I pirate one book I should pay a hefty fine. If a company does it it's unlocking untapped value.
I would add that physical media has its own charms beyond simply the art (which I love). Removing vinyl from the sleeve, finding the perfect spot to drop the needle, flipping the record- this is all very pleasing if you enjoy physical objects that are engineered yet beautiful.

I have reel-to-reel, minidisc, digital audio tape, and cassette in addition to CD and vinyl. I find reel-to-reel hardware fascinating. Well-built machines are heavy, with tactile switches and buttons that are very pleasing. I can get better audio quality from a minidisc player the size of a deck of cards - but with r-to-r you get this lovely machine spinning about, counting time while VU meters dance.

Obviously the hardware is part of the experience for me.

FWIW - cassette can actually sound fantastic. They often did not, but the capability is there. The Sony Walkman’s I still enjoy are delightful to listen to and operate. Just for fun I bought one of Taylor Swift’s new releases on cassette (yes, she sells cassettes) and was a terrific audio experience.

The moat isn’t very deep or wide here. It does exist, but most FAANG (including Microsoft) should be able to overcome it with the right investments. Microsoft is probably best positioned to leverage this tech with the integration they have been pursuing across most of their products. They have probably mage better use of “OpenAI” than any other company and are in the best position to replace them.
Hey there,

I'm looking for feedback on the project, so let me know of anything that should be fixed or changed.

Thanks!
IMO the best workhorse sans font out there right now. OFL or otherwise. I've seen people dismiss every such font as a mere helvetica clone but they all miss out on the steady incremental improvements that each of such "clones" offer.

Inter is carefully crafted. It is uncommon to find OFL fonts that are hand tuned to such a degree (kerning and hinting). It is a beautiful and subtly unique take on a time tested design.
> Mechanical clock accuracy used to be pretty important for navigation to determine longitude.

Specifically:

> One degree of latitude equals approximately 364,000 feet (69 miles), one minute equals 6,068 feet (1.15 miles), and one-second equals 101 feet. One-degree of longitude equals 288,200 feet (54.6 miles), one minute equals 4,800 feet (0.91 mile), and one second equals 80 feet.

When using a sextant:

> Sextants measure the angle between the sea horizon and a celestial body. These angles are measured in degrees and minutes of arc (1/60th of a degee). Measuring this angle to an accuracy of 1 minute of arc (1') will result in a positional accuracy of 1 nautical mile. Accurate sextants can measure this angle to an accuracy of 0.2'. This means that theoretically one can determine their position to 1/5 of a mile [~320m]. Additionally, a good clock is required to accurately compute the GP of the celestial body. An error of 1 second in the clock will create a positional error of up to 1/4 of a mile [~400m].

Airplanes also used to use sextants for trans-oceanic flights (when beyond radio beacon range). Part 63 of FAA regulations has a section on Flight Navigators:

This feels related to the movement at the beginning of the AIDS crisis that pushed for the release of new treatments. I can't remember exactly how it all shook out in the end; the alternative treatment (DDI) had better side effects for some people, but wasn't the final really effective treatment that was researched years later (protease inhibitors). That research was lobbied for by the same movements I believe.
"Building different realities" only works to the extent that you surround yourself with sycophants. As soon as the people near you no longer care to play make believe, your alternate reality will *poof* away. Revealed to be nothing but smoke and mirrors.

I went on a microcrusade of sending correction requests last week after a series of articles (coincidentally, also in North Carolina and also about macrobiology) were published about a chigger-borne illness coming to the state, but all of the stories used a lede image of a red velvet mite, not a chigger.

The reason? It's one of the first images that pop up when you punch 'chigger' into Google, and it appears to be licensed (and mislabeled) by Getty. Tracking the image back to its original source, it was clearly identified as a red velvet mite.

I wish publications wouldn't do this. A completely random lede image would be better than showing a picture of an animal that people will now believe is the one the article was talking about.

> Have you been to China? It's time zone make sense for Beijing and the coast but forces the "Chinese" of Xinjiang to do things at unnatural hours for the convenience of the ruling elite.

I've been there and it was absolutely fine - a lot better than working in the US with its mess of timezones. Sure, the times in Xinjiang are "wrong" but who cares? I'll take getting up at "11AM" or whatever over having people in different offices think the meeting is an hour earlier or later and not finding out everyone was mixed up until it happens.
My wife met Jimmy and Rosalynn on her parents' island many years ago. She was quite taken with the way Jimmy introduced himself and his wife: "I'm Jimmy and this is my Rosalynn." Very humble, kind Southern couple.

My wife fell in love with a rescue dog about three years back, and we agreed we just had to have her. The rescue organization called her "Rose", and I recalled the "this is my Rosalynn" story which made it obvious to me what her full name should be. Rosalynn Drew is happier now with us than she's ever been, and I think of the positive influence her namesake has had on the world throughout her long life, the lives she's touched sometimes even with just a greeting.

That’s an interesting point. Many folks may have started companies around openai’s product, thus defending their turf. Probably fearing they might be freed if the new ceo decides to lock api access.
"Over the weekend, some investors were considering writing down the value of their OpenAI holdings to zero, according to a person familiar with the discussions."
If they had gone to any number of design agencies, they likely would have been happy to do this work right, pro bono. Given they don't seem to have any sort of request for assistance... sort of left taking pot shots from the sidelines. Someone got a grant, didn't know how to build a real website, and likely doesn't have the right staff put together to make it all work.

It should have been something like Volunteer Match or One Star... a way to network and do good.

Looking forward to openai’s models getting leaked then :-)
You're hand waving away what the same way means. What if I make 500k once every five years? Should I pay taxes like I make 500k every year once, and nothing the other 4 years? Should I be able to amortize that across 5 years?

What if I bought a house and flipped it as a business venture? What costs count toward the business and what doesn't? You have to define all of that before you know what you've earned.
