I didn't yell at anyone who didn't yell at me first, I merely gave as good as I got. My manager didn't want to know about this sort of minor stuff, you don't go crying to them with every small thing they just get annoyed. They already know that these people are problematic, I wasn't the first person to have these problems.

In every other job I did not have this experience. Everyone was fine and polite and did their jobs, and so was I. The above job was in a merchant bank in London and very high pressure, yet people were slack and useless. I just called them out on their behavior. I was never reprimanded for any of my behaviour. My manager's manager invited me to return when I left (I had to leave due to an illness in my family) because of my work.

Some workplaces are just dysfunctional, like this one, the fact that the head of department was sacked gives you an idea. I was one of the few people who stood up to this culture and plowed through and fixed things. I sorted out several system breaking bugs while I was there, that has festered for years.
Thanks, I really should add that.
You can also lock the video recording by sliding to the right.

It would be nice(-er) if people said: "Look, my parents know people, my classmates and their parents know people, and while we unfortunately can't let you past the bike room, we'd like to work with you".

I love this one so much.
Tiny robots made from human cells heal damaged tissue
Really good example.

It also sucks that you have no way of knowing at build time whether autovectorisation succeeded. Even if you have it working initially it can silently break and you don't know where. So using clang, you're careful and you check the generated code and everything is great, then later it isn't and you have to go hunting to find out why.
That's neat, but... at that point they must have considered just getting someone to shoot the tires with a gun at a safe distance?
A modern Google Pixel starts saving frames as soon you open the camera app. When we finally take the picture, it uses some of the older frames to have what's essentially HDR stacking without the delay.

I wouldn't be surprised if a similar thing happened here. Different frames, processing picks the best exposure for each part of the picture and you get this effect.
You can absolutely get feedback from steer-by-wire. Ask any racing sim enthusiast. Those racing sim wheels can provide enough feedback to rip the wheel out of your hands.
For cats, that's how their mothers carry them.
> I wouldn't want to be hit by one if I were a pedestrian in a crosswalk

Weird take, as if Corollas never killed pedestrians.
Yes, which is why I would argue that IO is a particularly bad benchmark here, since everything is just a thin layer on top of the actual syscall, and those layers don't do any real work worth comparing.

The only thing that makes sense to compare when talking about pythons performance is how many instructions it needs to compute something, versus the instructions needed to compute the same thing in C. Those are probably a few orders of magnitude apart.
"They" = "some".

That is SDL2, what i had in mind is SDL1 - but also the SDL1-on-SDL2 implementation which had some SDL2-specific extras (for things like scaling).
Agreed, I've literally never seen anyone speed up to try to get through before I cross. Hell, often times at stop signs if I notice a car or two coming, I try to stand away from the sign to let them go before crossing, and yet still they often stop and gesture for me to cross first.
One of the more evil variations I've heard of involves pinning a bb or pebble between the cap and valve pin, creating a slow leak that's invisible until you think to take off the cap.
>Other authors have concluded there’s less than a 50% chance that CNEOS 20140108 was interstellar

Lazy research. The linked article is just a simple "doubt paper" questioning the error bars of the raw data, published prior to the DoD releasing information about the error bars.

To give such an outdated paper the last word (and even use the loaded word 'conclude') makes everything the author writes highly suspect.
What are you even talking about? Maybe if you're driving around the grid of a city. Most driving enthusiasts know where to find roads that are fun at legal speeds.

What’s the ambiguity issue with Unix time stamps? Unix time stamps are expressed as a UTC offset always so I’m not sure how time zones come into play / what parsing might involved.

Is the All Wheel Drive variant the same exact vehicle as the Cyberbeast, just software limited for lower acceleration and speed?
By "loser" I only meant by comparison with the best ICE in that category of pure drag racing. It's definitely not a loser, but it is a "loser" versus ICE.

I'm not saying the Cybertruck is shit. It's a torque monster and I want one. But it will struggle with cornering because of its 6800 pound kerb weight which is double the 911 kerb weight. Too heavy, can't compete.

What's most impressive to me is they figured out how to make flat body panels on the Cybertruck without warping (which would ruin the aesthetics). It would look cheap if they didn't get that right.
also follow up question, is Supabase using one database per "app" (one cluster) or are there a few different elixir apps that are being backed by the same database (multiple independent clusters)? Though I wonder if using the same storage location for multiple clusters conflicts with how libcluster strategies work.
If this feature or similar features could be disabled, it doesn't need to be an either/or situation. I don't have an iPhone though, so no idea if it's configurable. But seems that it should be, assuming it's not implemented deep in hardware.
>Its tagline ("more utility than a truck, faster than a sports car") speaks almost poetically to two distinct but orthogonal archetypes of threatened masculinity: the tacti-cool milspec dork, and the showboating rich guy.

The guy writing this is a bit unhinged, maybe even bitter.
I'm not sure exactly what the scope of that is, but I was hit (lightly) by a Tesla in a crosswalk earlier this year.
Strong disagree on this from me as well. DALL-E 3 is miles ahead of the latest Midjourney/Stable Diffusion in image generation. The only real area it falls short vs the other options right now is in how nannying it can be.
Even until today, Pascal is still mentioned as language than can be compiled fast (including Go vs Rust debate).

Many years ago, I remember building FPC 2.0 something on a Windows PC (512 MB RAM) and it took no more than 5 minutes.
> Those mosaic like patterns are more pleasing to the eye than a noisy photograph.

Noise does not automatically look worse than this weirdness. It can look bad when resizing with fast algos (moire and all). And of course noise is super fine detail so preserving it blows up filesize.
GPT-4-turbo is at 128k. Claude 2.1 is 200k. But yes, among open source models 8k is roughly middle to top of the pack.
I grew up in the Kimberley in the 1960s|70s, our work vehicles included bull buggies (stripped down | rebuilt for purpose vehicles, often 2WD) and Robinson R22's (light helicopters), horses, prime movers, regular cars and trailers, scrub bikes, etc.

Steam Drops macOS Mojave Support, Effectively Ending Life for Many 32-Bit Games
The claim was that any camera without this feature is "entirely unusable" and the photos couldn't be saved even with "hours of manual edits". The fact is that for decades countless of beautiful photos have been captured with cell phone cameras without this feature and most of them needed no manual edits at all. Many of those perfectly fine pictures were taken by people who would not consider themselves to be photographers.

Anyone who, by their own admission, is incapable of taking a photo without this new technology must be an extraordinarily poor photographer by common standards. I honestly wasn't trying to shame them for that though (I'll edit that if I still can), I just wasn't sure what else they could mean. Maybe it was hyperbole?
This isn't exactly new. You could already play steam games over airlink. Including steamvr.

Having a dedicated app doesn't really add much imo. But I'll try it.
The End of Elon Musk
One of the issues it'll face in Europe is weight. One source I found for the "cyberbeast" model claims a 6843-pound curb weight. That's 3.1 metric tons. While there are discussions for special allowances for electric cars, the current limit of what you're allowed to drive with a normal driving license in the EU is 3.5 tons of gross vehicle weight rating.

In other words, in order to allow most people to drive the Cyberbeast, it would have to be rated so that (regardless of your license) you can't add more than 400 kg to it (this includes driver and passengers!). Hope the six people it's supposed to fit are light and have absolutely zero luggage.

That would obviously make it entirely pointless.
If the “Lindy effect” holds true for the 911, it might be quite a long time before the 911 and its variants go out of style.
The same cannot be said for the cyber truck, and all of the other short lived prototype cars that have very harsh angular lines.

How do you think nougat would handle RPG rulebook PDFs?

I'm looking for a food OCR model to help me transcribe sections of RPG books to markdown. Ideally, I'd like the emphasis such as bold or italics to be transcribed.

The combo of text, numbers, and math symbols seems similar to technical and academic writing, but often has weird formatting, text boxes in the margins, and many diagrams.
I think if you have the Live photos option turned on (the default) it will automatically take a burst every time you hit the red button.
Call it naivety, but I still think there is something to the Titius-Bode observation, with the deviance from the pattern suggestive of events early in our solar system, so it's exciting to see these astronomers forming a similar view about resonance by default interrupted by chaos.

If you go down the rabbit hole of looking at nearby stars and want a jumping off point, I mused some similar observations on another thread here:

I do this as well, and also with guacamole I’m going to hold, after putting it in a container I’ll smooth the surface, squeeze lemon/lime juice on top and press plastic wrap down onto it to keep a film of juice on the surface. Keeps it from browning and adds to the flavor for next time, when you can just stir it in.
> I don't think anyone ever claimed Nougat was the best OCR model out there

Comparing two things doesn't inherently imply the previous thing was touted about with superlatives. It's just a way to juxtapose the new thing with something that may be familiar. As you said, nougat is easy to install/run so it makes sense they'd compare it. Would it be better if they could add more libraries in the comparison? Absolutely; that'd be helpful.
“ideas are getting harder to find” seems especially unconvincing outside the hard sciences in domains like music or fiction.

Odd choice for the article to focus on Einstein when this is definitely the case in physics. The lowest hanging fruit has been picked, and reaching the higher branches requires facilities with large collaborations to support them. There are still important ideas coming from individuals, but for comparison the discovery of the photoelectric effect or Rutherford scattering or electromagnetic induction are all things that can be worked out by a single person with a tabletop setup.

It used to be possible for a single person to have all of Physics in their head. Now the amount of information is so large that it's just physically impossible. Physics isn't being created, but uncovered.
OpenAI has the benefit that it's a hosted service. Even if you can set something up at home, not everybody wants to do that.
Only for the children in the car. It's gotten dramatically worse for the 99.9999999% of children who are outside the car.
As with everything (including knowledge about a particular subject), there's a spectrum. So it's not like cars don't kill pedestrians, but some do it better than others [0]. The cybertruck looks like the kind of car that's more efficient at killing pedestrians than say a Prius.

I agree. I'd have no issue with this if it were something people could disable and it was clearly disclosed and explained as the default.
I like the Electric Mad Max truck marketing. But somehow I don't want my Electric Mad Max truck to have a remote kill switch.
Open source options lacking parts of the ChatGPT approach which make it successful doesn't make the comparisons unfair it explains why ChatGPT wins right now. There's nothing stopping open source options from using the same MoE architecture, the solutions just don't (to the same effect act least) right now.
Really remarkable to see the failure modes that caused both the Challenger and Columbia disasters enumerated here, respectively six and twenty-three years ahead of time.
"being strong" is relative. I'm not sure how this is helpful advice.

eg If your limbs are disabled, being able to handle the resistance to a gentle ocean wave, is a way to feel stronger than you normally do.

Expecting that "being strong" will always mean the same thing (even within your own lifetime) is not rational.
I think it's the cooler coastal climate I'm in that slows down the growth so the regular 3 month harvest period is spread across 9.

It still only flowers once a year in spring like a normal tree, but by that following winter (regular harvest time), only the clusters with few siblings would have grown large enough for harvest. Then it flowers again, and then bigger family clusters reach maturity in the summer/fall.

My avocado tree when I lived in a much hotter climate would drop all the fruit as soon as it started getting hot (they would dry out and wither on the tree).
You said a <2% difference in tuning is a larger question than composition styles. Like, the difference between 440 and 432 is more important than the difference between Baroque, Romantic, Atonal, Beebop Jazz, and Death Metal. "What kind of music do you like?" "Oh literally any genre, as long as it's tuned to A4=440. If it's anything else I hate it." It's difficult for me to respond to such a statement and stay within the HN commenting guidelines. It's strange and surprising that this would be something anyone would ever argue with a straight face.

It does not matter. Here's some reasons why:

- You can change it at any point. Re-tune your orchestra. Pitch bend your mp3 file in Audacity. It's free to change your mind. Decisions which are free to change do not matter.

- Most humans basically don't notice it. The very few that do have a good enough ear to notice it will forget about it within seconds unless your song is extremely boring. If your listeners are focusing on a 2% difference in tuning instead of the content of your song, your song sucks.

- Written scores literally do not specify it; that's how little it matters. People do not have this in mind when they write music because it doesn't matter. They write the tempo, the key signature, the exact notes, but they don't write the exact tuning of A4. They don't care.
The only thing worse than an ad is being in the middle of deep thought on a deep task and being instantly, and without warning, switched to the full screen red colored Ad-Blocker update / donate tab. I uninstalled it immediately.
The one about green where it recommends shifting it blue or yellow made me recoil, like shut the article down as fast as I could because the one they suggested was a revolting bile color. Sure, I absolutely respect the power of color theory, but this article was kinda heavy handed and most of the examples just really rubbed me the wrong way, like why is virtually every example just desaturated and low contrast to make it a sickly gray, and why does some of their advice contradict later advice (especially regarding contrast)?
Sure but that's not an argument for letting the person who is putting others at risk, decide how much safety they want to pay for.
Why does everyone assume it was a Live photo? Could’ve been night mode, which comes on automatically in low light scenarios, and does the same thing (takes multiple exposures over a longer timeframe).
I didn’t misunderstand what happened, and I know how the iPhone camera works. I was only noting a couple common cases where computational photography is really nice. I’m pretty picky about my photos and nothing I’ve shot with my iPhone has ever approached “lies”. I know those types of anomalies can happen, but they’re clearly design flaws, i.e. Apple doesn’t actually want their camera to make fantasy images. I don’t want that either.
That's insane. The highest I've personally seen in the open-source space is RWKV being trained on (IIRC) 4k but being able to handle much longer context lengths in practice due to being an RNN (you can simply keep feeding it tokens forever and ever). It doesn't generalize infinitely by any means but it can be stretched for sure, sometimes up to 16k.

It's not a transformer model though, and old context fades away much faster / is harder to recall because all the new context is layered directly on top of it. But it's quite interesting nonetheless.
I actually do not know. But there’s a wikipedia page on Farang that suggests this could be the case!
If I may rant for a bit: I do hate how my aspect of the job market can feel like "guess the interview format". If I see a position marked "Unreal Engine Senior Graphics programmer", I have anywhere from

- core graphics programmer knowledge
- Unreal engine specific knowledge
- c++ general knowledge
- fundamental Comp Sci knowledge (data structure concept, heaps, performance)
- Software engineering knowledge (GoF software patterns, coding structure, etc.)

Or you know, I could still end up being metaphorically asked (or literally) to invert a binary tree. These aren't theoretical either, I've been quizzed on all these topics the past 3 months.

Like, none of these are hard for me, but if you want a confident, knowledgeable interview where I talk off the cuff about these I'd probably want some prep time. But alas, I was screened out almost every time, for reasons that may or may not even have to do with any of the above. I try not to blame myself and just accept that everyone's having a bad time, but not knowing how else to improve for test, or even WHAT they want to test me on feels discouraging. Why bother continuing to tinker on my renderer if they are just going to leetcode me? Why bother grinding leetcode (which I hate, mind you) if instead I end up in a role that never asks any?

I agree things will pick up in January. In the meantime I'll probably just relax and let interviews come to me.
Why not both?

I am more in the purist camp, because when people take iOS photo, I remind them that someone else made that decision on how the photo should look. Additionally, we are in an era of not trusting anything on the internet or in a photo anymore. Do we want photojournalism to go that same path? I don't. So I enjoy being closer to "reality" than the computational photos, but for average entertainment photos, I don't mind.
Why is anyone not using uBlock Origin?

Raymond's proven so far he won't be shady, and has made a tool that's incredibly resilient to anything the server side can do. The adblocker wars cannot be won by the serving side. There will always be a way to browse the Web without ads, or there will simply be fewer people using the Web; they will move onto other protocols where they can avoid ads.. at least until the marketers catch on.

Our culture needs to confront the fact that people are tired of their attention being diverted from their goals every day just so some dumb companies can remind us they exist. Is there nowhere in society considered sacred enough to not litter it with advertising filth?

im guessing there are many forces at work trying to get rid of ad blockers. not sure what this is all about but my bet is on sabotage or greed.
This also makes an EV the best tool for convincing "EVs are not manly enough" kind of types, which I expect to be an actually meaningful hurdle in the highly polarized US. I don't think many people will forget the first time they were in any not entirely underpowered EV when the driver floored it.

That's likely one of the reasons for Tesla's success - EVs sell EVs, and Teslas sell Teslas. Tesla can skimp on marketing, the customers do it for them by showing the cars off and the cars sell themselves.
It's not so farfetched. https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/10/22775580/kyle-rittenhous...
Does it work with the new Youtube ad blocker wall?
Yes, you can access window.screenX for your own window, but not for other windows. If you’re writing code for an iframe embedded into a domain that’s not yours, your code does not have access to the parent’s windows.screenX.
This looks impossibly good. I think these samples are cherry-picked and I also think the system is essentially overfit on these datsets and would not generalize to anything even slightly different. I want to see their failure cases! Lack of failure cases is a red flag.

Still, though, it could be useful in its current form, and making a more general system might mostly be a matter of collecting appropriate training data. Impressive work, just needs a more realistic presentation.
to be fair, I think the ability of these models to actually use these contexts beyond the standard 8k / 16k tokens is pretty weak. RAG based methods are probably a better option for these ultra long contexts
That's what I remember too.

I briefly documented how to run Turbo Pascal 3.00A on a CP/M system a while back:

https://github.com/skx/z80-playground-cpm-fat/blob/main/TURB...

I'm doing that on a single-board Z80-based system, and it has to be said that writing pascal is a pleasure on such a machine. 64k of memory, and yet code compiles to real executables "instantly".
any news on what happens to the saltstack side of the vmware operation?
traditionally phones took good photos in good light but as the light decreases so does photo quality (quickly). the point of the ai photography isn't to get the best photograph when you control the lighting and have 2 minutes before hand to pick options, it's to get the best photograph when you realize you need the best possible photo in the next 2 seconds
Wonder why they decided to do this against an ICE 911 and not the Porsche Taycan?

> "The Taycan Turbo S will take you from zero to 60 mph in a neck-snapping 2.6 seconds, though Motor Trend and others have clocked it at 2.4 seconds; as fast as a three million dollar Bugatti Chiron (the fastest gasoline-powered car in the world). That is faster by a second than the Tesla Model S."

Oh.
The light never goes on when you are driving.

You expect to have the high voltage system energized when driving, otherwise the car wouldn't go anywhere. There would be no purpose for this light to go on.

The light is specifically to indicate that the high voltage system is on when the car is parked. It's a safety warning for that situation.
