Neat use of data. Probably not possible for Azure to do this but the way to drive this kind of change would be dynamic pricing of compute based on the localized generation cost. Lots of road blocks to implement this including quantifying how the DC is getting charged but I think interesting and the most probable way to incentive companies to do this.

In general ESG reporting is pretty lackluster since its hard to set the acceptable metrics.
All pharma companies price gouge. His company was giving a lot of the drug away for free to people who couldn't afford it, and insurance companies were paying the higher cost in other cases. Shkreli was singled out because he's addicted to getting attention on the internet so he put it on himself, and he has an easy to make fun of physical appearance.

If you actually watch his livestreams and listen to what he has to say instead of reading legacy media, you'd get a different perspective on him.
Obviously, her appeal is wider now than mere "preteen". For example, Taylor Swift has also become, inter alia, an LGBT icon, and that has been the context of most Mastodon mentions of her I have seen. Since HN and Mastodon have similar demographics, it isn't surprising if she gets mentioned occassionally in these parts.

Do we? I struggle to find anything that really differentiates all of these different products. Streamlit, Gradio, etc. are all doing the same thing. What would be the benefit of yet another way to get around writing HTML/CSS/JS? These tools are great for quick POC's, but from what I have seen, none of them are great production ready apps
This is a very interesting data source. So let's say for "Model-specific statistics on faults detected in passenger cars during inspection in 2022 by year of entry into service (in Finnish)", I should be looking at column "Hylkäys-%" sorted in ascending order to find the models with least failed inspections?

I think it is still a solid argument, especially when juxtaposed with anything related to developing something new and innovative, whether in the domain of arts, science, or business. But what I found insightful in this quote was the note about the least predictable things.
And if you are using SSH already to connect, you can use VS Code. It still gives you full capability using VS Code if that's what you're more familiar with. I'm just pointing out that it's capable. That is all.

If you're using a HPC server with no X window service, and you prefer to develop directly (no SSH in between) on baremetal like that - more power to you.
And yet when I watch the flood of movies, television shows, novels, music, and fine art available to me, I have a really hard time finding anything unpredictable. Great skill is involved in creating them (sometimes), but for every one experience that amazes me I have to slog through hundreds that really don't. At best I'm entertained. The output is formulaic, as you would expect from businesses guided by bookkeepers. The sad fact is that a large number of these productions very well might have been generated using an advanced LLM.

Network needn't mean talk to a million people. You can also value the depth of connections. And just being heads-up about opportunities with that group.

Networking doesn't just mean seeking things out for your self interest, but IMO helping and serving others. Which can just be your small friend group. It can also just mean "doing your job really well" which is a big help.

Networking can mean that those in your network will actively seek you out to tell you about an opportunity. If you're actively helping others, reciprocity is somewhat natural human response

It's not really, IMO, about cold-calling a bunch of randos and asking for help. It's about building deep connections and helping others professionally. What goes around, comes around, often in positive and unexpected ways.

To be frank, what has Project Veritas done that is objectively right? All of their explosive "revelations" turned out to be fake, and when they tried their scam on an investigative journalist, said journalist instead pulled the thread and thoroughly outclassed Project Veritas. Only then did they have the temerity to proclaim that their goal all along was in trying to keep media honest.
AFAIK Spotify doesn't pay per stream. They pay a percentage of revenue to artists that is divided based on streams of their music. Record companies and big artists negotiate these deals with Spotify. It seems like artists should be more angry with their labels about the deals that are negotiated than mad at Spotify.
Have you watched the interview?

It's worse than I expected. Musk is out of his gourd. I don't know if it's the drugs or actual insanity but I don't just see an asshole but someone losing touch with reality. It's not autism or even "outsourcing his politics", he is barely coherent. This man will likely need institutional help.

I want to push back on the idea that there is no consensus on what an SBOM is — there are two very popular specs! Yes, quality, content and completeness does vary. And every SBOM does need to be enriched with vulnerability and runtime context. But those don’t need to be in the file itself (and aren’t static anyways).

If UK or Europe government think that merger of two US tech companies they don't control is bad for competition, they need to invest in creating a competition. And I am not talking about a million or two they give here and there, they need big investments.

From Isaacson's recent biography:

> At one point, Isaacson describes Musk becoming enraged when, working on the Tesla Model S, he finds a government-mandated warning about child airbag safety on the passenger-side visor. “Get rid of them,” he demands. “People aren’t stupid. These stickers are stupid.” Tesla faces recall notices because of the change, Isaacson reports, but Musk “didn’t back down.”

This company and the person leading it doesn't care about safety, and likely even about rule of law.
72% gross margin on Azure: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor/earnings/fy-2023-q2...

None of the cloud providers are monopolies, but there are few enough they can collude through tit for tat, though at times I think some were run for growth at a loss.

I believe all have multi thousand percent margins on egress bandwidth.
I think Isreal wasn't given free pass ever. And now, only after it suffered worse atrocity ever, its free pass only lasted few weeks for most people. There's a huge disproportion of strength there and it's natural to root for a little guy. But when you look closer at the conflict and motivations of its participants it's easier. Because one side wants to have peace for itself to thrive and the other wants them dead and gone and it's not shy about advertising that intention at any opportunity.

Palestinians have a right to exist and to defend themselves but what they were doing with crude rockets and attacks wasn't a defence. It was an attempt at genocide. And people only fail to recognize it at such because it was so inept due to Israel defensive power.

> Could you imagine, for example, measuring how fast you can fill up a car in miles/hour?

No. First, an ICE car's fuel tank is filled up in a small fraction of an hour; "miles/minute" would be a more relevant unit. But more importantly, because the speed of fuel fill up depends only on the fuel station's pump, not on any engineering feature of the car itself.

Ask HN: Toolchain to Alter Animated Classics
What I'm looking for is toolchain that can take video from an animated classic and produce alternative segments in the same style and voice of the original. I wish to alter Cruella de Vil's character arc, I find its end seriously dissatisfying and the car crash is quite unlikely to have survivors.
We're going to have to wait and see. Eletric cars didn't make much economic sense 30 years ago, but we've come a long way. Maybe in 20-30 years they might taste/have nutrients somewhat similarly and have a smaller environmental footprint, cheaper, etc. Call me optmistic.
>How to tackle unreliability of coding assistants

One of the well-established techniques was always to give more worthwhile incentives that are especially meaningful to the hardworking assistants.
I suspect that L3 impacts performance a lot. I dabbled in running a Windows VM with a GPU passthrough, and I had to spend a lot of time to properly pin virtual cores to physical ones so that CPU caches are utilized properly, as I suspected that it was the reason for decreased performance. I managed to get only L1 and L2 to be utilized properly and it somewhat helped, but L3 was still underutilized due to double-scheduling in both Win VM and Linux hypervisor. Even the basic OS shell suffered from lags, not to mention games.
In some countries it's even illegal. But since when did this stop (US) management from trying it.
You seem to be conflating two things. Is the model itself a reproduction or is it capable or making reproductions?

I think there is a strong argument for bot treating a ML model that is a mathematical amalgamation of a huge variety of material and is thus transformed as a new work.

Now, if you use this system to make a reproduction of one of the works it was trained on, that doesn't "wash" the IP, that reproduction would still face all the same tests for infringement as any other work.
I see 1 and 2 as going in the opposite directions. WebTransport+WebCodec enables the shipping of binary blobs for each individual service. WHIP+WHEP might see enough demand (OBS input) that locked down services have to offer it.

> which is notoriously bad at paying musicians.

The only thing I ever see are people comparing against the money that 90's rockstars used to be able to bring in from album sales.

That ship sailed a long time ago, Spotify take everyone's money, substract a percentage for themselves and distribute the rest based upon number of plays.

If you were a big artist it's probably worse because you aren't getting a sweet deal to pull you onto a label (which we would then have you bitching about in the music press every week), or your a smaller artist and don't make much off it because you don't get the plays but you would have never seen the big money from tape/CD sales anyway.

I've also seen people argue that they never see the sort of money that they would get with a single play from BBC Radio, completely misunderstanding that BBC radio would probably never play their song, there is a much smaller bandwidth for playing music. Per person listening to your song, it works out not far off a play on Radio 6.
Interesting comment. Unlike the idiotic vegans who downvoted you to death.

I will read more about this. It does match my experience of my stress level rising quite a lot when I go through period of no or very little meat meals (based on beans, quinoa and stuff like that).

I think the whole plant-based diet is some sort of religious belief for moral superiority or something. The people who enforce those diets seem to not suffer too much because they tend to avoid using their brain and have rather low physical activity in my opinion. I personally have a very hard time sustaining a high level of physical activity and keeping my brain functioning on a mostly plant-based diet...
Show HN: Generate your personal Hacker News RSS feed or newsletter
Many have attempted to create niche 'HN for X' platforms, but why reinvent the wheel?.
HN already has all the best content, good ranking algo, good moderation, great discussions, etc. - it's all there! However, I'm spending way too much time on the orange site, mainly because of FOMO in certain topics like AI.

I wanted a tailored HN feed focusing on my personally relevant topics, so I built HackSnack, your customizable HN feed. It uses LLMs to extract, summarize, and tag the articles and classify the different perspectives in the comments.
You can receive it as either a newsletter, RSS feed, or simply visit your custom feed URL.

You can create a HackSnack for pretty much for any topic, e.g.

AI: https://www.kadoa.com/hacksnack/485cd2ef-b689-4c61-a703-2720...

Physics, Robotics, Hardware: https://www.kadoa.com/hacksnack/7111d95e-1756-401d-a0f1-fa61...

Or you can simply add your own topics :)

They had direct reports in HR so you might be on the mark in terms of ladder just more in the HR camp with OP as a senior manager where they combined their bonus and vest payouts? You'd just have to be a bit above Staff to hit 200k with bonus and a single vest.
$700k regardless is a good chunk of cash, but can you blame an artist for asking, "Whoa what the fuck?" if that's still a lot less than they would've made in a time before Spotify existed?
The first amendment still applies because defamation wouldn't be illegal without the US government passing a law to make it illegal. That means that the US's defamation laws can only restrict speech within the very narrow exceptions to the first amendment that courts have allowed.

The bar is especially high for defamation of public figures like Nixon. For something to be defamation against a public figure, it not only has to be provably false; it has to be intentionally and maliciously false. They would have to prove that the author intentionally was spreading false information to hurt the subject. That is so difficult to do that defamation suits regarding public figures are almost never successful.
Also, it's not Android Q.

They can do their rated mileage -- if you don't mind driving 55.
You attribute it's reliability to it's simplicity, but I'd argue Toyota simply builds things to a better standard.

As most people know, Lexus is also Toyota, and I've been driving a fully loaded luxury sedan from 2008 that also gave me no problems I didn't cause.

It had plenty of fancy do-dads (that are pretty standard nowadays), a steering wheel and seat that moved into place upon entry, adaptive headlights that swivel and self-level, heated/ventilated seats, backup camera and infotainment, etc.

Only time I thought it was acting up (error with the self-levelling headlights), I discovered something had bashed the entire sensor bracket off the undercarriage. Replacing the bracket fixed it immediately.

It made it to 280,000km (175k miles) before a red-light runner wrote it off, and it went to the scrapyard without even the check engine light on.

Meanwhile the equivalent BMW fell apart on me in half that mileage, and hell, so did an F150 actually (and it was as basic as could be!)

Add the preview to see what you're actually stashing:

And that's just the start: it could even be that by binding a key to the fzf reload command to then display the diff in it's finder, and in turn a key to stage the selected line, you could turn that into an interactive git staging tool.
First launch of Europe's Ariane 6 rocket planned for June-July
At my old company, we engaged with a contractor from France. We went to university together and I knew he was well qualified to do the work we needed in OpenCV.

We researched ways to pay him legally, but for a six month contract it turned out to be much easier to simply pay an agency that pays him and does the paperwork.

Essentially it is presumed that most workers are full-time employees, and it is difficult to maintain a contractor due to tax liability and labor laws.

Pow, the best SwiftUI animation library, is now free and open source
We actually used Streamlit in the past. Our gripe with it was how the backend event loop was managed. Basically, Streamlit re-runs your code at every user interaction to check what's changed (unless you cache specific variables which is hard to do well). When your app has significant data or a significant model to work with or multiple pages or users, this approach fails, and the app starts freezing constantly. We wanted a product that is the compromise between the easy learning curve of Streamlit while retaining production-ready capabilities: we use callbacks for user interactions to avoid unnecessary computations, front and back-end are running on separate threads. We also run on Jupyter notebooks if that helps.

You're mistaken in that you believe that the goal of culls is to cut underperformers. Stack ranking doesn't assess performance, it checks whether you're willing to do a little more to be ahead of your peers.

The real goal of culls is to motivate people to work more, to be more accessible to their managers' requests, etc. so they make it "to the next round". It's a pressure tool, not a performance control tool.
The idea that mitochondria is somehow external organisms that cells co-opted, and somehow became an integral part of every single organism on Earth is one of the most absurd, science fictional things I've ever seen in my life. And yet people just accept this as almost-fact. It's like believing in magic, there's no real explanation as to how something like this occurred, or even what the basic mechanism is, except for one person's speculation that it happened and the idea has spread virally and now it shows up as a fact in articles like this.

Not saying we neurodivergents can’t be bad people or villains (I think Kingpin is supposed to be autistic), nor that we shouldn’t be called out where appropriate.

But we have enough social stigma going against us. Musk’s antics are on the morning news now, so I’d much rather the word “narcissist” be on people’s mind than “autist”. Because when I tell people I’m autistic, I don’t want them to think that means I’m prone to screaming “go fuck yourself” to a live studio audience.

That’s a good point about Hook. Villains are also frequently queer coded. Hook is an example of this too. So is Jafar, Scar (disfigured), and Ursula (overweight). Probably more examples. This is to draw a contrast to the blonde haired, blue eyed, able bodied, conventionally attractive hero.
