I read this article with interest and was glad to see it mentioned laser welding. When I was about 17 years old (*having lied about my age) I got a remarkably well-paid job in a Silicon Valley laser welding shop, fabricating thermally sensitive fuses of some exotic materials that were fairly difficult to attach to a standard electronics package, hence the exotic method. Fun times, once the lead tech mixed up the gases for the laser machine and we had a nice 50-foot tall pillar of fire on the shop floor that sent us all running for cover.

I feel like I experienced the tail-end of something that was once quite common in the USA, and I was able to afford a decent apartment in Silicon Valley back then on my own with no college degree, though I did see that the folks upstairs in the R & D division were much better paid and had better jobs (I was once sourced to them as a gopher for a couple of weeks) so I went off to college and graduate school and never really told any of those people where I had come from, just nodded and smiled along and used my assembly line background to great effect in getting things done at scale. I pretended I was one of them, and that was a good move.

See what happens when you let the rats out of their cages, governor?
Yes it's a stunt, but c'mon, those "special tools" are something every manufacturer has, and they're usually not that special, and they're easily replaced.

One of the Tesla ones is literally a storage cart. Another is a sawed-off 26mm wrench head, the "clip tool" looks like it could be cut out of plywood or a sheet of metal in a few minutes.
What a beautiful book cover. The chapters remind me of several algorithms available on SAGA GIS to handle digital elevation models, like lake filling and finding flow direction. Kudos to the authors, this is a nice resource to learn more about the topic.
This product is the epitome of everything wrong with startups and VC.

There is no justification for why a bed mattress should require a subscription.
No because then they don't get paid. It wakes you up every few minutes with a reminder to pay
To add on this when considering what to use: You first want to decide if you want full virtualization (KVM/QEMU) or paravirtualization (Xen).

Then you will probably use some operations layer on top of that (e.g. QubesOS and XCP-NG are only Xen; Proxmox is only KVM/containers; libvirtd does both). Then based on that you pick your actual host OS (in case it's not already set).

I have GPU passthrough of the iGPU on a Ryzen 4000U working with kvm/qemu+libvirtd on an Alpine base. So the hypervisor runs headless (booting in blind mode) and the guest OS takes over the iGPU entirely. The caveats are explained in that arch Wiki article, IIRC. I think the least obvious part for me was sourcing and loading of the microcode/firmware.

Also had success with hybrid graphics (Ryzen APU + AMD RX GPU with one passed through and one on host) on an otherwise similar hypervisor setup on Arch BTW.

Even more so than usual, the more recent and obscure your hardware, the higher chance you'll get to compare different kernel versions, incant random undocumented parameters you found in some forum comment, or even reach for out-of-tree patches to get running smoothly.
I'm sure it's filed. They just refused to disclose it as required by law.

Is this a parody? If so, what is the parody?
Proxmox and XCP-NG are well placed to take their customers and gradually add any missing functionality. Although neither have feature parity with VMWare they are adding new things all the time and are very responsive to their respective communities.
XCP-NG even has a VMWare to XCP migration tool built in.
However, in my experience using both I would avoid Proxmox specifically if your workloads include heavy SQL Server / Exchange usage. The bug in question affects all KVM based solutions.
Not long at all. Presumably you could write the method on the back of a napkin to lead another top AI researcher to the same result. That’s why trying to sit on breakthroughs is the worst option and making sure they are widely distributed along with alignment methods is the best option.
For some reason I still consider Diablo I as the ultimate Roguelike game, par none.

As I said, what I have read in just the last month from academic presses goes into the thousands of euro. No individual reader is realistically going to spend all that. And especially not when one is in Eastern Europe and makes a fairly typical living here.

Furthermore, I question your claim that me purchasing a scholar’s book would benefit hurting authors. At least within my own discipline (I’m an occasional researcher when a funded project comes along, and I have published on a number of occasions) authors do not materially benefit from publishing a monograph, getting an article into a collection, or serving as an editor of a collection. It’s all for prestige/career advancement alone. In fact, the PDFs on LibGen are sometimes surreptitiously uploaded by authors themselves, who have little love for the big academic publishers like Brill.

There are two cases in my own discipline where authors do care about sales. One is textbooks, and the other is a case where a group of scholars came together to found their own press so they wouldn’t have to deal with the big corporate publishers any more. But those do not form a significant part of my own reading.

Nice work, I submitted you a small PR to allow folks to run this with local / custom LLMs :)
Not sure what you mean by arguing in good faith as its a straightforward argument.

So much stuff has changed since 2013. Containerization, massive increase in concurrency, mobile platform explosion, etc. Where is the concurrency standard ? Are these 14 CDR's even implemented by CL implementations ? Can't find which CL implementation implements priority queue. Several of those CDR's don't even appear active.
vSAN pricing is all about what the sales guy is willing to do to make the rest of the sale. It has zero marginal cost if they can get you on the platform and using their ecosystem of tools and software.

In edge deployments where rack space is tight it's actually a great solution if you only have a few U to work with and have a HA requirement for a legacy app as well.

In case anyone else was wondering why in the world anyone needs a smart mattress; it has both heating and cooling capability, as well as vibration (for alarms). Presumably it is programmable via an app and, of course, collects usage data. Sounds like a really nice product if it weren't for the privacy issues.

If I recall past discussions on this topic correctly, it wasn’t just about profits. I believe the incentive structures are setup around launches and not maintenance. If that’s correct, then that would lead to people launching, collecting rewards (bonuses, promotions, etc) and then abandoning.
GPT4 is trained on almost the entire Internet. Presumably they have found a new way to learn which is closer to the way humans learn. After that, getting better is just a matter of optimization and more compute.
Sundar became CEO in 2015. The author quit this year. Was his "lack of visionary leadership" not that obvious for 8+ years? Or did the author stay because the stock price and his TC kept going up?

Cloud formation is affected by cosmic ray flux. It's effectively random.

But the real problem is chaos - which says that even with perfect data, unless you also have computations with infinite precision and time/spatial/temperature/pressure/etc resolution, eventually you wind up far from reality.

The use of ensembles reduces the effect of chaos a bit, although they tend to smooth it out - so your broad pattern 12 days out might be more accurately forecast than without them, but the weather at your house may not be.

Iterative DL models tend to smooth it faster, according to a recent paper.

LLMs in theory can absorb a stream of integers into a pattern of weighted nodes.

Every program written is vulnerable of being generalized into an LLM pattern.

The outputs of AI and the predictive abilities, are not scary.

The input capacity of AI will eventually eat every programmer's lunch and their programs too.

The existential risk is mapping out computer programming as an entire field and locking it away.
Meta really doesn't get enough credit for their open source contributions and stewardship of important tech. Of course there are very real criticisms of Facebook and their engagement strategies and such, but LLaMa has been incredible, on top of things like React of course.
I did not interpret the comment that way, they didn't frame it negatively or "can't do".

Personally, based on the 3.5 and 4.0 responses in this thread, I prefer 3.5.
GPT4. Everyone uses it to do software engineering now and the people who developed it are responsible for that.

BMW is doing that, and it's older than the Thousand-Year reich.

Given what I know about humans, Lucia was obviously a newborn. I'm less confident when it comes to dogs so I don't know if Milly was a baby or not. Either way, doesn't including babies throw things off a bit?

I feel like the the difference between the smallest and largest adult dog is much bigger than the same ratio in people, unless there is a person with very extreme dwarfism or something.

Patience. Your timeline doesn't align with the CTO's or the company 's timelines and that's upsetting you , apparently.

Your CTO seems like technically knowledgeable. He's trying to be hands-on. These 2-hour meetings to listen to "his ideas" could just be him trying to communicate better because he obviously sees you're not on the same page. You should cherish these meetings, not push back.

For any new leader, existing coworkers that are constantly pushing back is just the worst. If you think you can't change your mindset to be more cooperative and empathetic with your boss, it might be better to quit.

Finally, would you like to be the CTO of this company if given the opportunity today?
A good joke for HN: Concise, cryptic, and academically superior.
> that if it asked the AI if it wanted legal representation to protect its own rights, this was the same as asking a human the same question.

You seem to be assigning a level of stupidity to a google AI researcher that doesn't seem wise. That guy is not a crazy who grabbed his 15 minutes and disappeared, he's active on twitter and elsewhere and has extensively defended his views in very cogent ways.
People will find such dumb reasons to get outraged. Folks have been photoshopping GFP expression for years. Then some halfwit will post it "there's some evidence that X is Y". Try to replicate it, you can't. Because the science is fake.
I was once a consultant on a project where a notable design firm designed an operating system for a mattress that conformed to your body. The OS was based on AOSP, so plenty of nice support for custom UI widgets. Some of the sensor inputs were easy to make use of: The mattress would be pumped up to look flat when nobody was sleeping on it. Otherwise it would look like a worn-out mattress. One of the problems to solve was to detect when the occupants of the mattress would rather have a flat surface for activities than have it conform to their bodies.
It works without a subscription. The subscription is an extra on top of the bed. It's main value is a temperature thermostat with 2 separated water cooling layers, which can be a godsend for some.
Supposedly there was a technical advancement named Q* that helped precipitate then OpenAI blow-up.

Using AI could have prevented this. So the no AI, or algorithms can be also a negative thing as the example shows. I understand not using it for recommendation because it still has false positives, but using it for filtering could have prevented this. And false negatives for filtering is not so bad and could be just used to put filtered videos in a list that the parent can review, in the case that some good videos are getting accidentally filtered.

> I'm just saying, breaking rules in business is not necessarily the same as being unethical.

Can you explain this?
I feel the same, there seem to be a lot of religious undertones going on.

Even if we had an incredibly capable AGI it doesn't mean we're all going to be teleported to heaven, or become immortal, or that the world will end, or that it's here to save humanity, or that humanity even needs saving. People are injecting all of this into it.

We have no idea what the future looks like, no one does. We do know what religion looks like and OpenAI and AI evangelism certainly looks similar we have claims about:

* Potential for the end of times.

* The reckoning (Roko's basilisk).

* Potential for eternal life and even resurrections (Ray Kurzweil, Singularity university etc).

* Blasphemy isn't allowed, "thou shall not question the AI future, it is coming no matter what, it is nigh".

* We're told we need governance, a church.

* Promises untold abundance if one believes.

I'm not even trying to refute all these claims, like I said, I don't know what will happen in the future. I just went to a religious school and I get similar vibes lately from AI people.

Humans have always wanted and tried to create demons, monsters, gods, idols. I don't actually think this is much different except this endeavor sort of intersects with "science", and technologies do exist. I'm just not sure we're seeing these develops in a healthy light.

I guess we could say the invention of a church was also a type of social technology too?
Cool website! But I thought the website would tell me which human foods are toxic for dogs. (Like, a list? I'm assuming it's not an enormous number?)

Instead, there's only a search bar, and I have to check every food that exists, manually!

Edit: another comment posted a link to the data, >5000 (variations of) meals

{
"id": 2343660,
"name": "crackers, sandwich, cheese filled (ritz)",
"is_toxic": 1
},
{
"id": 2343655,
"name": "crackers, sandwich, peanut butter filled",
"is_toxic": 1
},

I can't tell which part of this is actually toxic... possibly an ingredient that isn't named?

OP, did you generate this based on a much shorter list of ingredients which are known to be toxic?
It says Watermelon is toxic. I don't own a dog but I did a bit of Googling and it seems to say the seeds could cause some blockages?

That's not toxic...
Are you implying that's a bad thing? Your argument sounds an awful lot like, "but all of those middlemen are gone", which is generally considered to be a good thing that results in a more efficient market overall.

Is there some benefit to having compiler vendors or xml libraries guarded by paywalls? This is non-obvious to me. The days before the FSF and gcc were considered "dark ages" to programmers, being locked in to a small set of proprietary of compiler vendors and toolchains, fragmentation everywhere with poor portability and poor hardware compatibility. Yet you paint this as somehow a good thing and I'm struggling to see why.

I'm also still not seeing how the openness helps establish tech monopolies, which was the main point I took issue with.

Nicely written. Can't tell you how many times I've seen companies ruined by too many middle managers; some of whom are greatly under qualified to make certain decisions they do.

Unrelated, does anyone here or OP have a ballpark ETA on when Google's Quantum and AI might meet and become friends? I'm really hoping to see this in my lifetime.
I don't do marketing for YC but Paul Graham does so you'd have to ask him about how they deal with such situations. My comment is just my opinion.
GPT-4 doesn't pass the turing test, it's frequently wrong and nonsensical in an inhuman way. But I think this new "agi" probably does from the sound of it, and it would be the real deal.
Heating and cooling my bed has been such a game changer for me.

I don’t have this bed. But I use the bed jet and chili pad. It’s great if you like to sleep with a lot of blankets without sweating. I like both. Neither tracks my sleep, use, or have ever been connected to the internet.

Tell HN: Me as solo developer – first year revenue revealed
Hi friends,

A year ago, I released Wins 1.0 to the world, It's a Window manager App for macOS and I got my first batch users back then, which gave me a huge encouragement and I'm very grateful here.

Today, one year later, I want to be open and transparent about the current development status and revenue of Wins to the lovely community, to you

# About Revenue
In total, I have sold 1,612 licenses, with 701 through the Wins official website and 911 through other channels.

Yes, currently, Wins has fewer than 2,000 users

From all these sales, my total income is $9,485 over the course of one year and three months, it's not too much.

However, Wins has a high number of active users. In the past seven days, there have been over 1,000 users, and in the last 28 days, approximately 2,000 people have used Wins.

I feel incredibly honored that Wins has been able to help you, and I am sincerely grateful for your support in my independent development journey.

# About Development Status
During the year, I received a lot of feedback and suggestions, coupled with my understanding of Apple's product philosophy, I want to make something wonderful to bring to the macOS X, so I've added some features that I think are cool in the past year，such as :

1. Dock Window Preview. Now you can directly preview all windows of an app you opened

2. Shake window to hide other windows. Drag a window, give it a shake, and all other windows will be hidden

3. Hide other windows with shortcut key You can also achieve it using keyboard shortcuts

4. Move to another display. Quickly move the window to another monitor

5. Hide All Windows. One shortcut to hide all windows, and the world becomes clean

# In the end
I'm not a famous developer, I don't have much of audiences, I don't know how to market or promote, I just an Apple fan who loves the macOS.

it wasn't an easy year for Wins, But luckily it's alive. I'm alive haha

I currently have a job, but initially, I thought Wins could sustain itself through independent development. However, I later realized that the timing might not be right yet. But I believe that as long as I continue to polish Wins and make it better, it will be able to independently support me in continuously developing new features.

Finally, I'd like to share my app here with those who might need it and let you know that it has a 50% discount during Black Friday

If you like it and want to support independent development(thanks a lot), or if you haven't tried Wins yet, I hope you give it a try.

https://wins.cool

ps. I hope my sharing doesn't disrupt this community.
> Your way of upgrading front-end tech, where you need to hit the docs, sounds exactly like moving from the different .NET technologies to the latest version.

What front-end tech, everything is typescript.

Also not upgrading. I need to read the readme file because I didn't run the software in 3 months. Point is, it will _still run_. It might need a few updates for security reason, but it will _not_ magically stop working.

> It just sounds like you are more familiar with working with front-end tech,

No. I'm a full-stacker, but very much focused on backend, and actually mostly in Python. But nodejs + typescript actually works well enough that, even with _decades_ of Python experience, I now need a proper reason to pick it over typescript for a new thing.

> I'm not trying to convince you to change technologies, but if you're familiar with a specific process, it's always going to be easier to follow that process than something you're not familiar with.

Yep. Maybe the reason why some folks struggle so hard with running their old JS stacks, rather than some .net superiority?
sounds like a cult.
