"Oh but why can't we think of the rich?" is what your response sounds like. The point of my comment is that whenever a topic like this comes up, the response here on hacker news is always WFH even though it only addresses a small fraction of the people affected. Responses like that reek of privilege. (To say nothing about the fact that the WFH crowd is even over represented here among the white collar jobs).

WFH will not solve this crises and it distracts from the point. Ultimately, people are stressed because of wealth inequality. A lack of wealth makes people hopeless and small things like WFH are bandaids when you are faced with never being able to have financial security in your life.

Yes, Keras can be used to build LLMs. In fact this is one of the main use cases.

There are some tutorials about how to do it "from scratch", like this: https://keras.io/examples/nlp/neural_machine_translation_wit...

Otherwise, if you want to reuse an existing LLM (or just see how a large one would be implemented in practice) you can check out the models from KerasNLP. For instance, this is BERT, basically just a stack of TransformerEncoders. https://github.com/keras-team/keras-nlp/blob/master/keras_nl...
IKEA have really nailed the smart home thing, the products are affordable and unassuming and crucially, all zigbee. You don't even need to use their hub you can use your own.

I've got a bunch of IKEA smart lights, motion sensors, plugs etc around the house and they've worked flawlessly for years, all integrated into home assistant.
some additional context here is that warpstream is building a Kakfa compatible streaming system that uses s3 as the object store. This allows them to leverage cheap zone transfer costs for redundancy + automatic storage tiering to cut down on the costs of running and maintaining these systems. This has previously come at the cost of latency due to s3's read/write speeds but with S3 this makes them more competitive with Confluent Kafka's managed offerings for these latency sensitive applications.

IMO warpstream is a really cool product and this new S3 offering makes them even better

That's great! And along the lines of what I was hoping might be true. A question though: It sounds like you are saying various instances can help each other on a per-video basis, for videos above a popularity threshold.

But what about the prospects of distributing the load that isn't localized to a particular video? As in, users do some peer to peer load distribution of any and all videos above the threshold, regardless of whether it's the one they are watching?

Just 9 years to go before Wayland’s replacement protocol is revealed, going by the X11 timeline.

Or, in the next year or two, going by the Xfree86/Xorg timeline.

It’ll be interesting to see whether the (inevitable) Wayland or X11 compatibility layer is the more-heavily-used one in that future system.
This article is really scuzzy. What happened to the kid is a tragedy (and a horrific workplace accident). But these things happen. The fact that he was 16 is completely irrelevant, considering in most states you can work from 14 with some minor restrictions.

Yes they do. You'll never complete the EV transition by only selling 50k+ Euro EVs. Eventually you'll run out of people with disposable income to buy your pricy EVs and those are the minority of consumers, not the majority.

China leads the world in EV sales precisely because they didn't start at the top selling premium EVs first, but started instead from the bottom by selling cheap EVS to the mases.

Meanwhile the Technivorm Moccamaster has a simple on/off switch that you could probably toggle with a relay, a motor, some gears, and a chopstick. It also makes just about the best coffee you're going to get with an automatic drip/filter machine.

The bigger challenge of course is that, if you want actually good coffee in the morning, you need to automate the weighing, grinding, and depositing of fresh coffee into a rinsed filter. That's going to look like Factorio in your kitchen.

Like you said, it came out a couple of hours after Amazon's announcement. So it's basic, timely reporting of news. The product isn't out yet, so there isn't much more to add. Beyond the general context, there isn't any "substantive comparison" that anyone can make yet.

I still don't understand what you want. You think the NYT just shouldn't report the announcement and its context in a timely manner at all? Or you expect it to achieve this impossible task of a bunch of substantive analysis from third parties when nobody's gotten a chance to use it yet?

The way the news works is, important breaking news gets announced quickly with basic context -- exactly the way this story is. Then, after people try something out and there are actually reactions to report on, a deeper "analysis" story tends to come out.

But publishing breaking news isn't publishing a "press release". And it's disingenuous to conflate the two.

Do you really think the NYT shouldn't publish any news except for full analysis articles that take days to research and write?

I'm the last person that will defend HN. Outside of very narrow technical subjects, it is chock full of terrible takes, clearly written by fairly ignorant people that think very highly of themselves. This is especially prominent in topics that touch upon economics, politics or philosophy.

That said, I don't really see passive aggressiveness as a problem. I mean, if people decide to be passive about their aggression, this gives me free pass to be passive about my disdain too.

I don't see that LLM's have come that much further in 3D animation than programming in this regard: It can spit out bits and pieces that looks okay in isolation but a human need to solve the puzzle. And often solving the puzzle means rewriting/redoing most of the pieces.

We're safe for now but we should learn how to leverage the new tech.

Also, when I asked it "what if I use PostgreSQL's non-transactional triggers", which I thought I just made up, it told me it wouldn't roll back the first insert: Non-transactional triggers are executed as part of the statement that triggered them, but they don't participate in the transaction control. So now I don't know what to think.

There's been volumes written about the problems with X and what would've been done differently. Of course given enough time I'm sure Wayland will end up in the same place, it does have the advantage that it was designed to be extended upon and for implementations to be built from interoperating components (vs the monolithic Xorg).

The big difference really comes down too that X was designed to connect applications, input devices, and displays (including printers!!) across a network in a time when the concept of a untrusted network didn't really exist. Neither was there a concept of a GPU as they exist now.

Conversely Wayland was designed to connect those items (sans printers) within a computer and to default to providing the minimum amount of trust to those things, particularly applications.

I know that the most recent biologists have been chiefly anxious to discover a very small camel. But if we diminish the camel to his smallest, or open the eye of the needle to its largest—if, in short, we assume the words of Christ to have meant the very least that they could mean, His words must at the very least mean this— that rich men are not very likely to be morally trustworthy. Christianity even when watered down is hot enough to boil all modern society to rags.

The mere minimum of the Church would be a deadly ultimatum to the world. For the whole modern world is absolutely based on the assumption, not that the rich are necessary (which is tenable), but that the rich are trustworthy, which (for a Christian) is not tenable. You will hear everlastingly, in all discussions about newspapers, companies, aristocracies, or party politics, this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man. The whole case for Christianity is that a man who is dependent upon the luxuries of this life is a corrupt man, spiritually corrupt, politically corrupt, financially corrupt. There is one thing that Christ and all the Christian saints have said with a sort of savage monotony. They have said simply that to be rich is to be in peculiar danger of moral wreck.

This is a funny thought. I suppose dogs will drive themselves to social events, get jobs, and financially support their offspring.
Rules being difficult to enforce is a function of society being low or high trust. Low trust societies effectively incur excess overhead, having to audit players and set up draconian rules. Some games just might not be possible. It's more pleasant and efficient for everybody to live in a high-trust society.
Everyone's racing to build their own data moat, but here's the catch: AI tech is moving at lightning speed. Less data, more power. It's like trying to build a castle on quicksand. And then there's the Google effect – they turned 'searching' into 'Googling', basically winning the internet. So, for AI startups, it's not just about gathering data; it's about adapting quickly and carving out your niche before the landscape shifts again. Here's to the brave souls navigating this wild AI terrain!
I'm a firm believer that formal education is obsolete, school is counterproductive and the whole institution and paradigm behind it is nothing more than hazing. I believe that everything academic that we want to teach young people, that is, everything other than what can only be learned through experience, can be taught in less than half the time we set aside in their lives for them to learn it. So when I see tools like Anki, and people using it to teach their 2 year olds to read, it validates my ideas.

I intend to teach my children reading, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, the civic structure of their society, financial competence, household management, basic physics enough to understand the world around them, and good vocabulary by the age of 10. I intend to use a process that instils a sense of curiosity enough that they'll then go on to learn about topics they're interested in at their leisure. I think the Internet's most powerful impact has been universal access to unbelievable amounts of knowledge, and I'd like to leverage that once unfathomable access that I've enjoyed as an adult to help them learn at a young age, I think one day it will be joked about that in our time a 12 year old doesn't know what a quark is, that people paid institutions significant sums just to learn about a topic, that knowledge credentials were the limiting factor in what work you could do. It really is an amazing time to be alive.
In my experience the biggest drawback with EFS is startup time for systems that mount it in.

For example a container or EC2 instance might only need a tiny bit of your storage and with s3 can just download what it needs when it needs it.

As opposed to EFS where the container or instance needs to load in the entire datastore on startup which can add minutes to startup time if the EFS drive is large.
Both. It's un-natural to require a database to delete records and logs from the middle of a table... it makes it quite possible to have errors that you can't ever track down because of this weird programming. It effectively changes the "laws of physics" for databases.

It's not a good thing.

I understand the right to be forgotten, but fscking up database integrity is a horrible way to do it.
My reading of the root cause is that the Arduino IDE doesn’t provide the kind of debugging facilities that C programmers expect, like decent compiler warnings and support for static analysis and runtime sanitizers (at least for off-device test builds). It also does not work well with proper development tooling, in particular git.

The 16 bitness would have been OK if the dev environment had been tolerable. Tho, to be fair, although Ian is an experienced C programmer (he wrote dpkg) he has very little patience for C any more, so it would not have taken much adversity to make him switch to Rust. [I know Ian personally.]

> But deciding a court is illegitimate because it rules in a way you don't like or, more likely, don't understand, is immature.

Nazi Germany regularly operated with the court's blessing. You'd consider disagreeing and de-legitimizing the court in that state being "immature"?

I feel like folks are missing that so much of modern day dictatorship and fascism __actively operate within the parameters of government__.

Courts, law, etc do not make something legitimate.
I think the reason for rootful XWayland to exist, and the fact that it's like 100% made by Red Hat, hints that this is why they are doing it.

I live near this area (gg dox myself), and this isn't the only instance I've seen children working jobs that are dangerous to even adults.

I've seen kids working bars here (not allowed, currently contested), which seems harmless until you realize most drunks are massive assholes and abuse wait staff nearly all the time.

The other instance I've seen kids working is farms and grain silos, which are incredibly dangerous. Things like a cow cornering you, or suffocating in grain. Wisconsin is going full pants on head, and the majority who vote against such conditions are often ignored, or side stepped by a particular party that has the legislation by the throat.

What's even more distressing is the mention of the child's father not having the means to pay for immediate needs, requiring his kids to saddle the responsibility of keeping the house afloat.

Absolutely wild how he just continues on to work for a place that clearly has a massive safety issue, let alone where his son died.
Note : This applies to able bodied 15Y+ Kids.

Child labor was frowned upon because the future potential of education far exceeded potential when doing manual labor.

With the severe lack of trade skill workforce and higher paying potential, access to free education from anywhere, AI taking over knowledge work, shouldn't we all going back and thinking this from first principles instead of parroting "Child Labor Bad".

If I were a teenager now and love to do manual work and get compensated for it, I better not have arm chair elitists prevent my ability to do so.

There is also no study that proves Child labor (15+) harms development over long run.
