Repairing electronics is not fun. Ask any undergraduate that spent hours looking for broken op-amps and bad solder joints. I don't think its the same class of repairability as old cars.

If I ask you about your experience with a Rolls Royce you'd probably mention in the door rattles a little bit between the speeds of 55 and 60mph. If I ask the same question about an entry level Toyota I doubt people would think anything of it or mention it. This is especially impacted if you're used to buying cars that cost $75k (a lot of Tesla owners) versus used to owning preowned cars bought for $10k

Yesterday they came around checking every house’s water system for old lead pipes. They have already replaced everything to the meter and now they are checking the house side.

I’m glad they are doing it but they must have a lot of free time. This morning’s news said that most the US still has lead pipes in the water distribution network (not counting houses themselves).

Still surprises me that so many people are comfortable with private utilities.

> One thing I'd add is that having a kid is very different than I imagined. I assumed it would be a slog like doing chores, but you'd feel accomplished at the end (like having a clean house).

One of the unexpected benefits of being the WFH parent for so long is I became an excellent cook, starting from practically no ability at all. Cooking real, varied dinners that keep kids happy 2x-3x per week will level up your skills in a way that weekend attempts a few times per month just can't compete.

I remember the first time I did something really new that worked out well - a self-serve burrito bar featuring various ingredients. The kids were thrilled and my spouse was so grateful. It changed the family dynamics for the better.

For anyone looking to dip their toes into Yabai and tiling windows, I recommend the following setup. Enable full tiling only on a couple workspaces. Desktop 1 can remain in floating layout, just as though you’d never installed Yabai in the first place. Then tile Desktop 2 and as many others as you want.

The one other tip I have is to have an easy hotkey for toggling full screen mode. Toggling an app into full screen mode doesn’t lose its tiled position or create a new desktop the way native Mac full screen mode does, which is especially helpful when working on a smaller monitor.

It works well for browsing both the web and local files, though JavaScript makes it less useful now.

I have plugins to browse a lot of file types; an epub will open as an HTML file and let me read it in the same way I would anything else.
Browsing directories is fast, and I can jump between edbrowse and the shell easily.
I love grep, but ripgrep really improves on it.

Very often, I don't want to look for files that aren't tracked under Git VC, and I'm not looking for matches in binary files, so by default, ripgrep does that, which can cut time by 99%.
I used to grep in small dirs, now I can I can ripgrep in my whole home, not that I do it, but I can. That + Sourcegraph on master branch, and it makes searching for any other thing than plain text feel sooo slow (Atlassian Confluence and Jira, Google docs, etc.).

Thank you so much Burntsushi and contributors!
I don’t know what’s going on at Ford, but it seems to be nothing but production issues with them. They have constraints on nearly all of their popular vehicles, and are losing tons of sales. I wanted a Maverick, but had to settle for a Nissan Frontier since Ford can’t seem to build one.

Sorry, keep leaving out details. I hate the non-native UI, I hate that copying from Figma creates something in the pasteboard that most apps won't allow to paste, I hate that to open a file I have to click a link and open it in a browser and then spend ages trying to get it to open in the "desktop" "app" because in a browser it runs like a turd. I mean, the list is long. I'm sure if I was a designer, working in it regularly, I'd probably like it a bit more, but as someone who only has to dip in and out occasionally it seems to make everything I ever need to do with it considerably more difficult than it should be. As mentioned above, people on our dev team copy and paste stuff out of it, into Affinity Designer, and then copy and paste from there into Sketch, just so that they can get decent assets out of it.
Try it - select a group of objects in Figma, hit Cmd+C and then try pasting that into Sketch - most of the time you'll get nothing at all, sometimes you get some text and none of the vectors. Basically it's just not a good OS citizen - working properly with the system pasteboard is surely one of the first things you'd get working.
As a relatively young Japanese speaker, can confirm, it can be either bad or good in context as slang. The comparison to English “wicked” makes sense - could be like “whoa, that’s really uncool/dangerous/awful” or it could mean “whoa, that’s amazing!

Hi HN,
I built the prototype in the past 2 days to play around with GPT-4-vision (and other apis).

No - I'm using it in the exact same sense Consumer Reports did here and the car industry at large does - Hybrid cars that have a CCS charging port or similar and can run on electric only propulsion for some period of time. There are far more PHEV models on sale than just the Volt and Prius. If I recall correctly, the Volt isn't even sold anymore.

This is the same definition wikipedia uses too:

"A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid electric vehicle whose battery pack can be recharged by plugging a charging cable into an external electric power source, in addition to internally by its on-board internal combustion engine-powered generator."

Skill issue. You lack monitoring. The basic prometheus node exporter and alertmanager would be sufficient:

# curl -s http://localhost:9100/metrics | grep zpool_state
node_zfs_zpool_state{state="degraded",zpool="storage"} 0
node_zfs_zpool_state{state="faulted",zpool="storage"} 0
node_zfs_zpool_state{state="offline",zpool="storage"} 0
node_zfs_zpool_state{state="online",zpool="storage"} 1
node_zfs_zpool_state{state="removed",zpool="storage"} 0
node_zfs_zpool_state{state="unavail",zpool="storage"} 0

You can easily alert on such metrics.
Meh, like it or not (I can guess which), Telegram has the best API in the game and it's amazing for businesses and all sorts of use-cases beyond chatting 1:1 with your friends. For example, its API lets you create buttons and nested applications within the app which certainly aren't there for you to talk with Billy from work.

So it makes sense that they build out more features for those use-cases like those using it as a media platform. I really like what they're doing. This is how you build a platform.

I'd be surprised if HNers are even aware of how other people use Telegram beyond basic chat. We tend to dismiss and hold disdain for use-cases we don't care about rather than learn about them earnestly.
>The thing on letting friends come and go, kind of.

I was discussing this to my 13 and 15 year olds this morning on the way to school. Thirteen is upset because she's growing apart from a previously best friend. It happens. Adults are good (perhaps too good) at compartmentalizing our relationships - golf buddy, work spouse, drinking buddy, sorority sister, etc - in ways that kids don't. Relationships come and go through life. This doesn't mean we need to treat them as ephemeral or unimportant, it just means that if they fade it doesn't mean they won't come back - or that perhaps its ok for them to fade.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Not all of us can be ultra geniuses. I recently got a neurallink so I am way smarter than the typical swarm element because I have direct access to the internet in my brain. I didn't even type this, I just thought what needed to be typed and it just happened. I am still homeless but well on my out of poverty thanks to my new brain inplant that beams the internet into my brain.

There is supposed to be a vision upgrade in the next version that will give me access to biometrics of the people I am looking at which will make selling them something much easier. Turns out that mood is correlated with purchasing decisions and sales is all about putting the customer in the right mood which have obvious biometric markers.
I’ve absolutely explored this idea but, similar to lossy compression, sometimes important nuance is lost in the process. There is both an art and science to recalling the gently compacted information and being able to recognize when it needs to be repeated back.
Well, yeah, I have no proof that it is literally true. I've never had an actual conversation with a corporation, only with the individual humans it comprises. I don't even know what having a conversation with a corporation would even look like.

No, it uses the hypervisor to implement a scheduler for the GPU between the different vm's and gives them access to it. VFIO on linux requires passing the entire GPU to only a single VM and making it so the host doesn't have access.
Learn to recognize kindness and do not mistake it for niceness. Kind people are always nice. Nice people aren’t always kind.

Before entering into a relationship with someone else, make sure you understand and own your own traumas, have accepted yourself and are content with who you are. You cannot do that easily with the added complication of a relationship. It adds a dynamic that will trigger every single unrecognized negative personality trait you have, and that will trigger theirs.

People move large distances to live somewhere else for love, work or to escape. Be careful you aren’t running away from yourself.

Your children will grow up quicker than you think. Those moments at every step of their development you will never have again. Before you know it you won’t be able to lift them up on your arm. Before you know it they spend most of their time with their friends and think you’re old and dumb. Before you know it they’ve moved out and are living far away. Before you know it you get to speak to them once a month on the phone.

You parents won’t always be around. If your parents are 65 and you see them once a year, you’ll see them an estimated grand total of 10-15 more times if you’re lucky.

Practice analyzing risks before making crucial decisions, but do not become paralyzed by your risk analysis.

Choosing not to do something is also a decision.

Your health is the most important valuable thing you ever have.

>I am a musician (ambitious amateur) with some tracks online and I also had a record contract in the 90s. I earn more today. Which is still very little, but it’s more than with CDs.

Interesting! I'm also a musician, though mostly just for the fun of it (but I do love whenever I get the chance to play out!) and have been heavily active in my local scene for a few decades, and my anecdotal experience with other musicians who actually try and eke out some cash from it seems to differ from yours, and I've heard nothing but complaints. But that's anecdata for ya! Glad you're seeing the opposite effect!

>But I can’t see that happening with all the competition in the entertainment space today.

This has been a point I've been making with my music friends for some time now. A common argument you see is that, well, I put work into making this, it deserves to be listened to/looked at and I should be compensated for it. I just don't understand how people can take that perspective when you step back and realize that there is more art being made than there are eyes or ears for it all.
>guessing at best

Yes, but at the same time no. It's guessing based on math, so it is guessing the answer out of a filtered set of "likely correct" answers. The reason it's novel is because it can go so fast now that it seems conversational, but as nothing is free the trade off is to get better math, better probabilities, and better guesses, you have to keep expanding the size of the model which costs immense amounts of electricity for diminishing returns. There is also a limit to the amount of times you can "just make it bigger" before it actually performs more poorly, as I understand it.

LLMs feel like a shortcut because it is a shortcut compared to developing something that actually understands human language. We just train them on data so it knows what words usually comes next in a series. So if the training data is good, the output is more likely to be good. But it doesn't understand what the "correct" answer is and is entirely unaware of what the content it was trained on actually means. So they will likely never be perfect because they were designed to be "good enough". I can foresee them being a part of a greater AI in the future though.

I would like to extend the question: is anyone building a homelab for the specific purpose of training a LLM on their personal info? The choice of hardware (for speed, cost, and noise concerns) seems important.
This is why there will still be a market for human-created art, but it'll likely be very niche, for people who care. When it comes to sheer quality, the AI should be able to surpass us at some point and create masterpieces we can't even think of.
There are different philosophies regarding software development. The project as it seems follows Chuck Moore's idea which says one must re-write more often (vs abstract away, patch over, extend above etc.), and be more focused on particular usages (vs betting on hypothetical future cases) to keep software unbloated, quick, and truly navigable by developers. Apparently, this approach is far from being popular (majority of devs probably doesn't even know such thing exists) because programmer's time has been very expensive for decades. So code quality, speed, and especially size became much lesser concern compared to time spent. But people do practice it as an art form in non-commercial projects, and to enhance their skills in optimization. Writing a whole OS with GUI, and apps in FASM apparently is one of such exercises.
It's almost as if they suddenly realized that the technology exists for this. My belief is that they make more money by slow walking the process.
Nice. I'll have to try that out!

I actually use Proxmox on my main PC. Ryzen 5950x, 64GB RAM, RTX 4070, AMD 6500XT. The two GPU's are each passed to a Windows and Debian VM respectively, and each also gets a USB card passed for convenience. I run half a dozen other VM's off of it hosting various portions of the standard homelab media/automation stacks.

Anecdotally, it's a very effective setup when combined with a solid KVM. I like keeping my main Debian desktop and the hypervisor separate because it keeps me from borking my whole lab with an accidental rm -rf.

It is possible to pass all of a systems GPU's to VM's, using exclusively the web interface/shell for administration, but it can cause some headaches when there are issues unrelated to the system itself. For example, if I lose access to the hypervisor over the network, getting the system back online can be a bit of a PITA as you can no longer just plug it into a screen to update any static network configuration. My current solution to this is enabling DHCP on Proxmox and managing the IP with static mappings at the router level.

There are a few other caveats to passing all of the GPU's that I could detail further, but as a low impact setup (like running emulators on a TV) its should work fairly well. I have also found that Proxmox plays well with mini PC's. Besides the desktop, I run it on an Intel NUC as well as a Topton mini PC with a bunch of high-speed NICS as a router. I cluster them without enabling the high availability features in order to unify the control plane for the three systems into one interface. It all comes together into a pretty slick system

Author here - thank you for this. I definitely don't claim to be an expert on the history of 3d graphics, and you clearly know a lot more than me about the detailed history of NVIDIA.

That said, starting in the early 1990s is missing the whole first half of the story, no? Searching Google Books with a 1980-1990 date range for things like "3d graphics" "art" or "3d graphics" "special effects" yields a lot of primary sources that indicate that creative applications were driving demand for chips and workstations that focused on graphics. For instance this is from a trade journal for TV producers in 1987: "Perhaps the greatest dilemma facing the industrial producer today is what to do about digital graphics... because special effects, 2d painting, and 3d animation all rely on basically the same kind of hardware, it should be possible to design a 'graphics computer' that can handle several different kinds of functions." [https://www.google.com/books/edition/E_ITV/0JRYAAAAYAAJ?hl=e...]

It's not hard to find more examples like this from the 1985-1989 period.
I disagree. Telegram is wonky and filled with bugs and weird UX decisions. It's a prime example of a platform that is just "good enough" but has no polish and added value.
it makes hard stuff simple.

yeah you can write weird shell script and re-implement hot vm migration (moving a physical machine from one physical host to another without shutting it down) but what's the point, really? you might as well use proxmox.

if you ever actually need to see how it's done you could just see what's proxmox doing under the hood (it's open source after all)
