It doesn't help that those jobs are hard on the body and are not compensated enough to make up for that deficiency.

I love problem solving but the trades do not look like a healthy place to work.
I would like one, yes!
This argument doesn't get any more compelling when you use expensive words to say it. Go make this argument to the warlords of Afghanistan or Vietcong. To use the parlance of my opponents, this theory has been debunked.
But you can do all that above. You can split onto separate parts when needed. You can start small and grow your scripts. You can comfortably replace them. You can do everything you have rights to.

Good luck debugging, fixing and splitting or just modifing or twiking systemd implementation :)

So what deserve bigger "avoiding like the plague" ? Possibility or not possibility ?

> a head start doesn’t mean anything against very powerful competitors

You know what powerful competitors have a habit of doing? The thing that keeps them powerful? Buying those with a head start.
> I get it, but at the same time that is also what you lost when you locked yourself in with a particular vendor.

What are other viable practical alternative solution(s)?
Ah yes, just "pull the plug". That's a hilarious idea, are you sure the AGI that was trying to destroy humanity didn't give you that one?
But of course the results are relevant… You wouldn’t write a novel based on the chance that someone would search for that specific type of plot.

Google works the same way. It gives you results based on what you search for, but who gets to sit at the top and how did that site get to the top? Because it followed Google’s guidelines which can be offset by a single editorial backlink?

That’s the angle I am talking about. There are millions of niches where big money can be made, and in those specific niches you don’t rise to the top simply because you are the best. Google has no idea what is or isn’t the best and for them it’s just as much of a guessing game.

I suppose I am talking specifically about selling links. How would you feel if you found out that one of the journalists whose content you admire is also participating in these schemes? And mind you, editorial links are like the top of the food chain.

Underneath that you got millions of other sites that will sell links starting anywhere from $10 to $1,000 bucks depending on their own “authority”.

That’s what I would like to see investigated and exposed, because it can be done. As someone who operates a mildly successful blog, I get around 300 emails a month asking me to peddle all kinds of products and whatnot.
It strikes me a little surprising that such a mature package as FDB is making such a large move.
For example, I understand that Deno's key-value store is based upon FDB, which certainly lends credibility to FDB.
You forgot Bytedance and the other Chinese companies in the "not leading in AI" list. I always think about what you wrote when I see Yann LeCun criticizing everybody else while failing to present a winning technology. I'm no OpenAI or Sam Altman lover but the truth is that people laughed at Chatbots, and even at AI in general, until ChatGPT appeared.
> I walk in a bathroom, and the light needs to come on, and it needs to be very dim after 10pm.

You can do this without connected devices, depending on the configuration of your bathroom!

You can get night lights that plug into an outlet, turn on when it’s dark, and brighten when they sense motion. I have some Casper ones (that also let you disable the motion sensing): https://www.amazon.com/Casper-Sleep-Glow-Night-Light/dp/B09L...

You can also configure you bathroom with multiple lights where some are connected to dumb motion sensors. e.g. Panasonic makes bathroom fans with a primary light and a night light - you can connect the night light to something like a Lutron Maestro motion sensor that goes in the wall where your light switches are. (Or if you want to get fancy, you can get a ceiling-mounted motion sensor and a radio-capable Maestro switch/dimmer that can communicate only locally with the motion sensor.)
There's no way that even juniors are spending as much as 80% of time actually writing code. They spend >20% attending meetings, completing mandatory training, reading user stories, participating in code reviews, waiting for test execution, etc.
Can it be tested without a google/github account?
that sounds like a dangerous scenario. If your docs are intentionally internal and not public, why would you let a publicly accessible LLMs answer questions with info from them?

An LLM trained on public docs for the public could be a better interface for projects with lots of public documentation.

An LLM trained on internal docs only accessible to internal users might be similarly useful

Even a private LLM on public docs for your support agents to use could increase their efficiency.

But I would never expose an LLM to the public that has been trained on data I don't want public
Careful with that generalization. Game-changing FPS mods like Counterstrike were basically "make your own game" projects, built with the highest-level toolkits imaginable (editors for existing commercial games.)
I am the author, and everyone I knew who was at Knight at the time had no power to fix anything. After all the trades happened, the quants and tech people couldn't really do anything to unwind them. That was up to the "business" side of the org, who still had no power because they were essentially left looking for a deal to rescue a bankrupt company. Those people actually knew that this was a company-destroying event, and apparently it was a late night for them at work and they were also quietly talking to recruiters.

At least one manager actually gave his whole team the afternoon off while senior management worked this out, anticipating that there would be no Knight by the end of the week.
Thing is, we'd expect people to apply a reasonable standard workflow for such tasks, to program as they normally do. Already for quite some time at least for some people that includes IDE with integrated documentation, templates, boilerplate generation, smart autocomplete and refactoring, and some time soon - if not today - for some people that would include IDE with integrated documentation, templates, boilerplate generation, autocomplete and refactoring that utilizes LLM/AI models to do that to a higher level. And that's not "cheating" any more than a carpenter switching from a hammer to a nailgun when building sheds, even at a shed-building contest.
Good point—that is the point. When there's a hype cycle, people often check their normal business sense at the door in terms of customers, value generation, and defensibility. Are there any of these? No, but it's crypto. Or now AI.

I do go somewhat beyond that in pointing out exactly why most of these startups don't have defensibility.

Perhaps for some people it doesn't need to be said, but back when I wrote this... and now... the market seems to suggest that it isn't that obvious.
What you described is NOT what baseload is about though.

Once again, baseload refers to power plants that deliver exactly the same power 24x7, but only after a couple week startup process. That is not what renewables deliver. It is in fact worthless with renewables because when renewables are at their peak time of day they already provide 100% of power and baseload forces more power on top of that.
Hey HN, my friend and I spent time writing documentation at our jobs, and we thought it would be cool to use GPT-4V to automatically generate documentation from demo videos. Would love to know what you think!
Can it participate in JTA?
I agree with the monolith comment, but I am not sure the jab at Rust is warranted.

If we are rewriting HomeAssistant, let's do it in Rust :) Only half joking.

That said, I refuse to write automation in YAML. Logic doesn't really belong in YAML. Declarative stuff would be decent if all you did was to specify a desired end state and let it figure out how to get to that state. But triggers with the equivalent of 'if' conditions that run actions? Let me write the IF. It makes a big difference if you say "Lights should be on between X and Y" versus "condition: after: x before: y: action: turn on". Trivial cases are easy, but when you start combining them it becomes a nightmare.

I have done a lot with NodeRED but it is... strange. It does save me from writing YAML (I do enough of that on my day job), at the expense of being weird and not easy to debug.

As for plotting data, you can send that to Prometheus or InfluxDB and go from there.

I also wish there was an alternative. And more modular "plugins". And a "HA" option. As it is, I have a single raspberry Pi that, while backed up and could be replicated if needed, will go offline for updates and the like, not able to run any automation in the mean time.

It does work though.
Well, a force 10x greater than any standing world army stood against US policing and law. The response, instead of revolutionary change, was for the military to mistakenly side with the failing oligarch republic (see also: the reason people aren't joining the military), then about 10k people tried a coup at the capitol with backing from the acting, defeated president, the SS, the Pentagon, the FBI, and local LEOs, as well as the border patrol, ICE, and DHS. Essentially the government and the People are 100% at odds, the media is portraying it as some 50/50 ordeal, when one party hasn't mustered more than 33% of the popular vote in half of most people's lifetimes, and people are aware that they have no agency in their own institutions, making those institutions entirely moot and void. The passive aggression is the precursor to allegedly powerful people being shown how unimportant they actually are; Nietzsche called it decadence.

I think you're really re-stating his case, which is interesting because you then call it 'empty virtue signaling'.

He's applying a standard analytical lens to AI startups, e.g. looking for their moats through finding differentiators in economics, data, scalability, etc. He finds that "doing AI" is not a stable enough differentiator to compel him as a VC. He then lays out his reasons. There are plenty of startups selling themselves on their AI platform and/or acumen, so it's rather automatically relevant to a VC at least.
So then why did they sell Google Domains?

I honestly have to ask, what are you talking about?

I just read the article and it's nothing like a press release.

Yes, it's announcing this new product, but that's because this is a genuinely newsworthy entrance of Amazon into this space.

And the article contains lots of context and comparisons that, you know, is what reporting is about and what press releases aren't.

So what's the purpose of your comment? Do you think newspapers shouldn't report news? Or how would you write the article for this story instead? What is your actual criticism here?

Yeah you're right, there will always people who start wars, or would like to start them. But if the question is, "Is war necessary?", then my answer is no. Maslow's hierarchy of needs does not contain war as an item, our earth moves on fine if no war occurs, etc.

I keep threatening to dog nap one of his. About my favorite temperament of any dog. One of his bonded to me at first sight, and basically doesn’t leave my side on the rare occasion I get to visit in person (he lives 5 hours away).
Error handling is tricky because it is (usually) people who write code, and people are lazy and sloppy. Force people to deal with errors and they'll find new ways to not really handle errors.

I'm not opposed to language support for pushing developers to handle errors. But experience suggests it isn't the magic bullet we sometimes tend to think it is.
Twitter, Facebook, other social media have social lock-in. You use it because your friends use it, and then their friends use it, and so on. And you don't use anything else because your friends are not on those platforms. The moat is deep.

For AI stuff, is there anything like that? Why do I care if it's ChatGPT or some other AI writing my paper or my code or whatever else people do with these. The AI is (at least somewhat) fungible.
That actually started appearing on the AWS console for me today. Annoyingly I couldn't turn it off though, as the settings page to do so is locked for my corporate account, and it opened itself back up every time I navigated.
Completely agree. I bought an AMD GPU like 6 years ago. The software support fucking sucked. The drivers were bad, games weren't optimised for AMD. AMD looks great on paper in benchmarks. As a product, overall, it is bad. That's why people keep buying nvidia. I will gladly pay double for a product that works.
Because it's the exception and not the rule?
Wouldn't that simply be probitivly expensive?
What on earth is virtue signaling, and how did it get into this discussion?
We don't have a separate `ops.linalg` package, but we do include `numpy.linalg` ops as part of `keras.ops`. For now only 2 ops are supported: `qr` and `solve`. We're open to adding any `numpy.linalg` op that turns out to be useful (or you could open a PR for any op you need).
(speaking as a just-slightly-pre-Boomer) Yes. But probably not for long.

However, you might want to get used to it, as it looks like it might happen not uncommonly.
hey everyone, Ayazhan here. i'm a co-founder at Dropbase.

i would like to highlight a feature called "State and Context".

as python developers, we want to focus the logic part and don't worry too much about the ui. however, we still want the ui to look good. to accommodate that, we've introduced the concepts of State and Context (that are popular in frontend development) to python functions.

with State, you can access the data that the user is interacting with (row selection, form inputs, ect)

with Context, you can control the ui and communicate with the user (show messages, hide components, ect)

you can learn more about these features here:

> Wolves and wild dogs are large, by modern dog standards, and don't live very long.

Typical lifespan of a wolf in captivity is ~15 yr (up to 20 in some cases), which is excellent for a "dog" that size.
You’re overstating it. The rest of the route is, except for a couple of areas around stations, a 125 limit, which is still basically double what Amtrak averages anywhere else.

Seems like one anti-Tesla (or EV in general, we can't tell from the article) group is leveraging their network of existing Union pacts and loopholes in the law to withhold license plates from waiting customers.

Are the "independent groups" you're talking about the very connected Unions?
If you have ever been on the other side of the interview divide, and noticed that >50% of "programmers" cannot write a single line of code, you might not find it so weird anymore...

Not just self-proclaimed programmers either. I've had a chap claim 5+ years of C++ experience working on GE nuclear reactor software, who couldn't explain how C++ memory management works, or delete vs delete[].

So yes, programming interviews it is, unless we get some different form of accreditation like doctors or lawyers.
Not that I recall, but it did have a lot of what I'd consider "above-and-beyond" extras, like a $400 console safe and powered moon roof (oh and lol, it was red!). Plus the $52k included all the seattle local charges like insane registration and sales tax, so those shouldn't really be counted.
(Author) As far as I know, Power Peg was indeed intended to essentially be a manual iceberg order from the time before that was an order type on the exchange (with slightly different semantics).

Rereading the source you quoted, it definitely wasn't a "buy high sell low" system, even if it was never used in prod.
I would choose a VAXi-11/780 if its appearance wasn't so plain and dull. In comparison, the early PDP-10s, particularly the KA-10 and KI-10, are charming. They are probably the epitome of computer aesthetic alongside the 11/40-45-70 series.
Not only common, but required by building code.
That’s true; we keep giving unconditional support to our Constitution based society and it’s a degenerate mess.
> you can flush a toilet by pouring water into the bowl. They've never heard of this, don't want to consider it, and so they begin insisting that everything else I've said in the conversation must be false, too.

You call it "psychopathic reasoning," but everybody has seen this before as "lawyer logic."

This is the very thought process attorneys exploit to convince jurors that a witness is not credible-- they try to rattle you into stating/admitting some inconsistency, which discredit your entire testimony.
This is huge. Yes it's in dogs but for the first time the FDA has said lifespan extension is an acceptable endpoint for a therapeutic! This could help open the floodgates for longevity therapeutics and will be written about in the history books.
There's a difference between social networks, where a network effect is needed, and why we don't see clones of platforms like Instagram or Reddit. Many of today's 'AI startups' are essentially just a landing page with a few hundred lines of code generated by GPT-4 to connect with the OpenAI API. The key element in these startups is their unique prompt used with the API. Essentially, cloning this type of startup boils down to replicating this prompt.
Same for the past 30+ minutes was surprised not to see it on HN but guess it just took a little time for someone to post. Tried Bard and reminded me how far behind it is when asking programmer questions.
I've heard good things about Home Assistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/
On the output side: Mixed-DPI displays. HDR/wide color gamuts/LUTs/color management. Non-rectangle workspaces, or workspaces with no absolute coordinate systems (think headsets).

On the input side: touch gestures recognized as touch gestures, not as mouse emulation.

On both: hotplug of all input/output devices. Headless sessions and handover of sessions between console and headless, both directions. Reliable lock screen, even if popup menu is showing ;).
How does GDPR get to be enforced on Cloudflare, or worldwide to anyone?
Not sure I follow. The Model Y is just a small electric SUV. Functionally, it meets the same needs the RAV4 or Honda CRV have served for years.

The Cybertruck is a significant departure from traditional pickups. I don't see it replacing anyone who uses their truck—even if it's only once or twice a year. That why I said it's a novelty.

If it were smaller, maybe it could compete with the Maverick or Santa Cruz? I'm having difficult finding consistent specs, but I think it's closer in size to a full size truck though.

> Graviton4 processors deliver up to 30% better compute performance, 50% more cores, and 75% more memory bandwidth than Graviton3.

This seems ambiguous. Presumably this is 50% more cores per chip. What about "30% better compute performance" and "75% more memory bandwidth": is that per core, or per chip? If the latter, then per-core compute performance would actually be lower.

Also, "up to" could be hiding almost anything. Has anyone seen a source with clearer information as to how per-core application performance compares to earlier Graviton generations?
I think this is mostly true, except I imagine OpenAI has a more defensible head start due to all the user data they've collected from people's queries. If they can maintain their lead in model quality (which is definitely possible - the engineering task of training the best and largest LLMs is not for the faint of heart) and remain the "best" general use chatbot, I could definitely see them build an insurmountable lead with all of their user data.
Their product is open source and self hosted.
Back in the day, Jon Katz (of Slashdot/Slate fame) wrote a book (and several articles) about his experiences with a temperamental Border Collie. Working dogs want to work, so in order to make the dog happy, they had to effectively buy it sheep. It was only after shepherding the sheep was the dog truly happy. Hundreds of years of selective breeding can’t be easily ignored.

I’ve often thought about this with my dogs… when they are being bad, it’s because I didn’t let them run enough or give them enough exercise or attention.
At first I thought, this is a reboot of the carnegy mellon CMapTools app. I may have butchered some or all names here, sorry:) That tool had some downsides, but the UX when actually creating a concept map is unmatched, imo. You can do everything with a single mouse button and keyboard for actually labeling your nodes. Not sure if its still available, but there should be some videos on the big video platform about it.
7 figures is pretty great for an individual, assuming that there is at least a 50% margin. For a company it's a good start in SF. Scaling a business with no moat will quickly bump into margin compression and a race to the bottom.

Not a problem if you are an individual with no intent to scale, but a big problem if you are investor looking to invest 8 figures.
I think a lot of people also, don’t appreciate how expensive a big dog can be. It means larger doses of medication‘s, more pounds of food, everything is just bigger and more expensive per day.

My wife and I had a 7 pound Yorkie from our local SPCA that died pretty recently. As a little dog, especially a Yorkshire terrier, he definitely had his medical bills. But outside of those expenses, our month-to-month costs were almost negligible. A $25 bag of food would last 8-10 weeks. Any medication we got him we broke in half or sometimes even quarters, because they literally didn’t make doses small enough for him, which meant any course of any medication was pretty cheap.

I mostly bring this up because a lot of people assume little dogs are incredibly expensive because of medical issues. They are not wrong per se, and breed matters a lot here, but there are plenty of small and healthy mutts that need good homes and your monthly budget for them is going to be much lower than what you need for some of larger dogs. Plenty of breeds are hypoallergenic, only need short walks, and are overall just not very demanding. Something to consider!
