I have no idea what point you are trying to make. Normally students would be able to say that they don't want windowless dorms. In this case Munger said that if they didn't build windowless dorms they wouldn't get dorms at all. What does this have to do with architects?
I'm sure internal politics plays a large role. Managers knee-capping each other and so forth.

But there is another way to look at it. A company of Google's size will not be satisfied by a "small" $10M ARR business or perhaps even a $100M ARR business. It's not going to move the needle. The needle being, effectively, Google's stock price.

There are two ways to move the stock price: increased profit or decreased spend. Increase the pie or stop the number of people eating the existing pie.

All of those projects had more value in being ritualistic offerings to the stock gods. Much like the unreleased Batgirl film had more value being a tax write-off than selling for market value: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batgirl_(film)
I'm half senile, and so when you replied I wondered if I did that.

But re-reading it several times now, I don't see it. When I look at their kids and think to myself "hey, they might make good husbands/wives for my own kids" where is the Freudian?

I am on the lookout for my kids. I can't tell them who to marry, but I can put them in circumstances where there are people their age that I approve of, such that familiarity might blossom into something more. I've seen how it turns out with other people's kids when they act like that's none of their business and actively avoid the thinking, and I don't much like the outcomes.
Mac's suck with few solutions to various problems.
Windows sucks with few solutions to various problems.
Linux sucks with many solutions to virtually every problem.

I prefer the latter by rather a lot.
Agreed, it's very common to see. In many cases you're talking about people who worked together very closely for years and are verging on as close as family. Also, in higher-level roles you often get fired due to a very specific lack of skills or a very specific weakness that wouldn't be at all applicable for another job.

Ex "this person is an amazing startup CTO but they get problematically overwhelmed when the organization gets to 100 engineers" – you would 1000% recommend that person to a 50-person startup even if they got fired from their job at a 500-person company. They might even be better at it the next time around.

Show HN: LatentSpace Haiku – AI-Generated Haikus with Matching Imagery
Hey HN! Check out my weekend project: LatentSpace Haiku. It combines haikus generated by Cloudflare's Mistral model, running on AI Workers, with images from Lexica.art's vector embedding search engine. The goal? To see if AI can create poetry that resonates emotionally and visually.

Be warned, the UI is basic – I'm more interested in whether the content sparks any reaction. Some haikus are deep; others are more light-hearted. What do you think? Do they feel real or a bit too artificial?

This is an exploration into AI's creative and emotional potential. I’m eager for your honest feedback on the haikus, images, and, yes, even the bare-bones UI.

Take a look at Haiku42.net and share your thoughts. Does this AI experiment stir any emotions for you? Or does it sound like a "fridge magnet haiku"?

Thanks for checking it out, and I appreciate any feedback!

For me it's because ChatGPT ignores less of what I type than Google currently does, plus it doesn't return spammy SEO results.

Google has become a search engine for advertisements, "People also ask" snippets, shopping listings and SEO spam, in that order. The rest of results is just a bonus.

Even stupid things like searching for the Wikipedia entry of a movie or TV show has become super difficult with Google lately, because Wikipedia is often buried. Apple's Spotlight is better for that.
ChainOfFools is tilting at windmills.
The recent "Neural General Circulation Models" pre-print [1] from Google Research indicates that the team built a spectral dycore from scratch using JAX; in Appendix A they note that it comes in at just over 20,000 lines of code! This model isn't quite "production grade" from the perspective of NWP (lacks microphysics and therefore any prognostic precipitation in the forecast), but it's the only project I can think of that has rapidly produced such a atmospheric model "from scratch" with a high degree of engineering rigor.

I haven't seen a type system that allows variadic types for Tuples. This would be equivalent to creating a struct with variadic amount of properties.

The definition for tuples here is similar to a struct.

They are one in the same except structs have names for each property while tuples don't. That is literally the main concept of a tuple, just a struct with no names for properties.

The type system for python is already "there", it is in fact superior to many other type systems from other popular languages.
Yes, because it's getting harder to get enough money to buy anything on which you'd sit for 40 year.

Take a look at the linked files before you get too excited. They didn't release much more than the service manuals.

There's very little source material on the page. 3 simple circuit boards and some definitions for the CAN interfaces. They released an .ISO of the diagnostic software, but that's generally floating around on the internet for most cars if you know where to look anyway.
Just because I'm interested in this topic. I've been trying to shave nanoseconds on ringbuffers and barriers in C.

LMAX Disruptor can send a message between threads in 53 nanoseconds on average.

So you can essentially fork control flow in 53 nanoseconds and do 2 things in parallel.

Eyeballing my barrier I can synchronize in 42 nanoseconds and up.
(I don't work at Github, these are inferences from working on other cloud services)

> Does this mean Github staff can basically take over any private account without contacting the owners?

That's an incredibly common feature to have on the admin side. Three of the four companies I've worked at have had some form of "log in as this user" button, with general guidance to not do anything dumb. The fourth had good reasons for not supporting that, but it made debugging anything happening in production incredibly annoying.

> Could they quietly manipulate my own repos by changing my ssh key and pushing commits?

They _literally own the servers_. They don't need your ssh key. Likely not _everyone_ has direct filesystem access, but at least a few people do.

By hosting anything on a cloud service, you are trusting the people running that service. If you don't trust them, don't do that.
Thanks for the recommendations! Will have a look

Developer platform updates seem to be inline.

And in any case, the board also failed to specify how their action furthered the mission of the company.

From all appearances, it appeared to damage the mission of the company. (If for no other reason that it dissolve the company and gave everything to MSFT.)
I read this book fairly carefully a number of years ago, found a lot of good stuff worth taking notes on. I'm glad to see it becoming more easily available. Stripe is also good. I have their printing of Hamming's The Art of Doing Science and Engineering and am quite happy with the quality of the printing and binding.

In a discussion thread [1] on this same book, on this same website back in 2016 I was able to find a citation that the book does not give, for a book Munger did not specify, only described, when I quoted the bit from the book [2] someone was able to come up with what was almost certainly the book Munger had in mind [3].

Reproducing the essential bits of that thread to save the click throughs:

In section 17, Stress-Influence Tendency (p21-22), he mentions some final work by Pavlov, but doesn't provide a citation. I spent some time trying to find it when I first read this years ago, but was unable to. I'm wondering whether it's even reliable: I'd think that work by Pavlov could be found with him as an author, rather than in a "popular paperback" written by an un-named psychiatrist. If anyone knows what book he must have been talking about, or can point to the particular papers by Pavlov, I'd like to know. [1]

""...popular paperback, written by some Rockefeller-financed psychiatrist, when I was trying to figure out..""

Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brainwashing - How Evangelists, Psychiatrists, Politicians, and Medicine Men Can Change Your Beliefs and Behavior - William Sargant [4]

"In 1938 Sargant was awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship" says author's wiki. I think this book fits the bill." [2]

It does indeed seem to be the book. Thanks.

The author seems to be controversial. The Wikipedia entry on him [1] says things like "his reliance on dogma rather than clinical evidence have confirmed his reputation as a controversial figure whose work is seldom cited in modern psychiatric texts.", and others "described him as 'autocratic, a danger, a disaster' and spoke about 'the damage he did'".

> I do dislike uninformed kneejerk reactions though.

Your strength of feeling on the matter is literally incredible.
oh ok I see. Just the SSO part is like that. That makes more sense.

So I guess I can just self-host for our team of 7 without SSO and we can finally organize these messy cron jobs we’ve accumulated. We would not be reselling at all. Just organizing some annoying aspects of our day to day.

Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated. If we end up expanding our usage down the road, I’ll see if I can convince her to consider shelling out funds for the SSO stuff too. I’d love to be able to support this project. Seems pretty cool!

Facebook Messenger serves more than 20x the users with fewer than 20x the employees...

WhatsApp and Instagram similarly serve more users per employee than Signal does, at an average compensation lower than what the average Signal employee makes.
Saving 200 bytes is "still huge"? For me 200 bytes is not worth the extra headaches minification introduces.
> Why even have classes at all at this point?

Perhaps this is the actual lesson? Instead of artificial opportunity cost in the form of exclusive choices, why not provide opportunity cost in the form of time/money/etc investment?

You're a Sword & Board fighter in need of stealing the MacGuffin. Instead of magically undoing the choices that got you here, you go out and practice Stealth until you're able to heist the famed MacGuffin.

Admittedly, this system does actually provide less immersion, meaningful choices, etc., but IMO this can be mitigated almost completely by making skilling up much harder. If you still want to promote class/archetype-based characters, then just make your character's class reduce the amount of XP needed to level up certain skills. While you're at it, make having high skills also reduce the XP cost of similar skills. Someone who's really good with two-handed weapons will probably pick up one-handed weapons much quicker than someone who's never even touched a weapon.

And if this isn't enough opportunity cost for truly meaningful choices, then limiting the availability of XP (in certain sections of the game?) is also an option.

Video Translation is still not capturing minute emotions
I tried Videodubber.ai , dubverse and others. None of them could capture minute emotions for video translation. But for documentries or intro or product videos, they are pretty good.
It's more commenters here revealing how low their standards are when they say "well people and/or podcasts spread false info too".

No actually, you can pay people to lie less and prove that they do so. We pay $20/month for ChatGPT to straight up lie to us and we know we need to sort it out.
behind this openAI chaos, it is a serious issue, the risk/concern of the AI...

> If you don’t own a Playdate, well, what are you waiting for?

Waiting for Panic to actually support something longer than a millisecond. Panic is small time Google - you can’t trust anything they create to be supported.

I would put a lot of money on them dropping PlayDate support before they fulfill any of their promises.
You're right, and it makes sense. Let me propose another perspective then: would a well-meaning, good person not be liable to culpability if he or she worked on a feature that actively monitored its users for data to sell to advertisors, much more than if such a person was working with something like Flutter or Go, since the latter workers are doing net positive things?

I suppose I got a bit carried away originally, but the point is just that - can one truly be well-meaning if he works in such a feature as that of the first example?

Moreover, when it comes to the examples you cited, I agree that we all share fractional culpability, some more than others. But we do not have a choice in being humans, or in paying taxes to our governments. We do, however, have a choice when it comes to working for Google.
I sat in on a few in the late 90's, and yes, it was often infuriating to see how people failed to use our swanky new features.

Yeah, I like this and I think the same way. Except it's not popular at work, where everything has to be polite and pleasant and delivered gently. I'm constantly thinking about what could go wrong, poking holes in plans, trying to minimize bad outcomes. People don't like this.

But in general this is how I've always learned. And some of my best teachers and mentors over the years have been laser focused on what not to do. This really resonates with me, though I find most people aren't built this way. It comes across as a "negative" mindset.
SP404mkii pros: DJ mode, SD card slot up to at least 64 Gb, 16Gb(!) internal memory for 16 projects 160 samples each, works as an audio interface over USB-C, full size 1/4" jack input and outputs, 33 effects with 3-6 parameters, 5 configurable effects simultaneously, resampling with effects, skipback recording, rubber pads, looping samples, real-time time stretching, OLED display, on screen wave editing and chopping.

EP-133: 64 Mb internal memory, no SD card slot, 6.3mm jacks, predefined effects (considering the POs these are usually hardcoded with only couple of adjustable parameters), didn't see an unquantizied mode in the manual, but it has note offsets, 9 effects in total, adorable design!

My guess is that EP-133 is very immediate and fun to use but you hit a wall at some point due to lack of storage / limited effects, whereas the 404 will take you from making beats to playing full multi-hour live set and beyond.

Both great in their own right.
> I specifically mentioned arbitrary fixed-size tuples (as in, tuples with an arbitrary non-variable length).

This is wrong. Again, Arbitrary fixed-size tuples are equivalent to structs with an arbitrary amount of properties. Languages shouldn't do this, it destroys the nature of what a TUPLE is which is essentially just a struct with no names.

The concept you are going for is isomorphically encapsulated by ANOTHER type:

List[Any]

You should be using the above type to encode what you want conceptually.

That being said if javascript has variadic tuples then it's not a very good type system imo. It encodes redundant concepts. Why have a tuple with Variadic arguments when I have Arrays that do the exact same thing?
Beauty is what I would use. Maybe craftsmanship.
As the other comment pointed out, F90 is surprisingly good considering it is also probably older than most people on this site, haha.
I never understood people living like this. I’ve never lived paycheck to paycheck even though with my first job as SWE 1 month after my graduation I was earning 900€ a month. I went to live on my own because it was in another city and of course I had to share apartment with more people during 5 with years. I did that until I had a salary where the rent for living alone in a place I liked was below 30% of my netto salary.

The only debt I ever had is my mortgage and I have savings to cover for at least 3 years without working. Without counting that I would get unemployment plus some other investments that would protect me more.

All this lifestyle didn’t stop me from traveling a lot (sometimes for months) and having nice things. But except for the home down payment, I never spent more in a year than I earned.

But I also admit that I missed a lot of good investment opportunities due to my risk aversion
Shrug. People hype that up to be a “shadowy evil org” but it’s really just because you want absolute firewalls to avoid problems when solving both sides of a vendor and customer and competitor
Well I can't edit this and this page has likely been archived so... I'll just write this. Sam was essentially homeless. A failed startup with not much to it. Sure, it was acquired but it gave him essentially just enough to continue trying to pursue his dream. He really didn't make any progress at all. At YCombinator he was essentially stuck for years. There's a lot of fake and editorialized stories about his life and his made up genius. The dude dropped out of college it's not this amazing story. Mentally he had given up everything to try to reach this stage. I don't know the full story but almost everything online I've read is completely different from what I've actually heard.
Odd that so far nobody has mentioned nuclear weapons.
I believe Youtube just uses VP9 if you don't have AV1 hardware decoding. At least that's what consistently happens on my Mac using various browsers.

I really really hope the GTA SA VR port for the meta quest (announced by Zuck in 2021) will still happen. But I guess not, since its announcement there has not been a single word :'(
$22.49 is what I saw (and paid) as well.
No. But that holds especially true for subtle edge cases, rather than the general case. You might be able to get answers to "common" or "simple" questions just as well using Mistral7B or Llama 2 13B.
That is not an honest phrasing of what I said.

More to the point, bad doesn't become good even if you can't do better. 40% is bad. If 40% was the best we can do, it would still be bad.

I did not realize at first glance you can write a script and then trigger it (with an API key, not sure if you can make a public one or if that's a security nightmare) through HTTP to basically have your own self-hosted AWS Lambda / the whole "serverless HTTP triggers/functions" craze
You seem to confuse "real"state management solutions (closures, objects) with syntactic sugar like context managers. Any class implementing __enter__ and __exit__ can be used as a context manager. The protocol doesn't impose any semantics to it. As for the presence of closures additionally to objects: this is a natural consequence of having nested functions and lexical scoping. However, it is quite uncommon to use closures to manage state in Python.
The keystroke issue is such a big thing. It's not just a matter of remapping either. Like Control+C in the terminal is Control+C in the terminal, but Command+C is Control+C sometimes and Control+Shift+C other times.

You're mistaking terminal versus instrumental goals.

You're thinking of an AI with a terminal goal of "Kill all humans", and why would it have that goal in the first place.

But this is making a major error. You could give a superintelligent agent of "Buy gold at $400 an ounce using any means necessary, here is 1 million dollars". The AI could attempt to buy gold on the market at that price and fail and come up with the idea "Humans value gold too much, therefore removing humans will allow me to achieve my goals". Humans are just the ant hill in your front lawn keeping you from having perfect grass, you wipe the ants out with a second thought.

DC Rainmaker's review of the GoPro Hero 12 had a section on overheating. Overheating typically occurs when there no airflow around the camera. For the Hero 12, GoPro removed the GPS chip, which has reduced the amount of overheating - recording time more than doubled compared to the Hero 11.
