It also isn't a number I can use to compare cars. Each car will have a different battery. A car with a large battery may fill much faster if you give it a 800kw charger, but since the charger is the limit it takes a while - but in the amount of time it takes to charge a car with a small battery the large battery car would take more charge and get farther. Or something else.

Once I've selected a car I'm interested in the 20-80% charge time (that seems to be the recommended fill levels), but until then I'm comparing cars with different batteries and I need something use to compare and 0-80% at 350kW time is not that.
In some weird way, I hope Google fails and is dethroned.

Whenever I’m searching for a website, and my query is pretty close to the domain, it will show me the paid ad for the site first, not the organic result (which is also that same domain).

I always avoid the ad version.

It just rubs me the wrong way and feels slimy.

I’m thinking to myself, “you know that I meant OpenAI, it’s the first search result. There’s no reason to extract a click from that paid advertiser.”

In 2016, I'd say speed was definitely a defining attribute. ag has very significant performance cliffs. You can see them in the blog post.

But as I mentioned in my comparison to qgrep elsewhere in the thread, everyone has different workloads. And for some workloads, perf differences might not matter. It really just depends. 900 KLOC isn't that big, and indeed, for simple queries pretty much any non-naive grep is going to chew through it very very quickly.

As for comparisons in other ways, at least for ag, it's on life support. I thought it was going to get removed from Debian, but it looks like someone rescued it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=999962

The blog post also compares Unicode support, and contextualizes its performance. ag essentially has zero Unicode support. Unicode support isn't universally applicable of course---you may not care about it---but it satisfies your non-perf comparison criteria. :-)

How exactly is Israel an apartheid state?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_citizens_of_Israel

I agree that death of any innocent civilian is regrettable but I question that all Palestinian citizens are innocent. Some of them fully support Hamas and worked with Hamas and for Hamas and would like to see all Jews dead just as much as Hamas and do everything in their power so that nobody can tell apart innocent civilian from a guilty one or from Hamas. I also question who's fault is it that these innocent civilians die. If a murderer is hiding between regular people shooting at cops who hunt him and at the people as well and cops try to stop him and accidentally shoot some of other people as well in the messy situation the blame is heavily on the murderer himself and very slightly on the police who undoubtedly did the right thing, were just a bit bad on technical implementation, though as good as they could be, given the circumstances.

I think what llms lack right now is:

Once these capabilities are added then they will be comparable to human “creativity”

This isn't just about "replacing Siri", to do that successfully, Chat GPT would need almost root-level access to your device. Things like constant background microphone usage, the ability to work on the Lock Screen, make calls, send texts etc without an extra prompt, get access to intents from third-party apps, all of this would either require separate APIs (which come with compatibility promises and hence lots of deliberation) or the ability to run apps unsandboxed, and would have serious privacy implications either way.

edit: With that said, if Chat GPT came before iOS, I'm pretty sure Apple would have had to design iOS with that use case in mind and get these APIs exposed somehow, maybe even through a direct integration with OpenAI or Anthropic.
I did not know this that's actually very interesting.
Considering a lot of the nutrition in meat products comes from the fact that animals go around in the world collecting valuable nutriments for us to consume in easy to obtain and concentrated form; I very much doubt any synthetic meat will have success. Unless it is half the price and just use it as filler with supplements. Nothing like what we call meat in the end...
I never get this argument. There is no magic in the human creative process. One way or another, algorithms should be able to replicate it and eventually surpass it.
Show HN: How Plazn Is Tackling High Commissions in the Restaurant Industry
Hi Hacker News community,

I'm excited to introduce you to Plazn, our startup that's revolutionizing restaurant management by leveraging reservation data.

What Plazn Does

Plazn's platform is designed to help restaurateurs make data-driven decisions. We focus on several key areas:

Optimizing Table Allocation: Our analytics identify peak hours and dining trends, helping you staff efficiently and improve the dining experience.
Personalization: Track customer preferences from past reservations to offer tailored promotions, enhancing the dining experience for repeat guests.
Predictive Analytics: Our tools help forecast reservation patterns, allowing for better preparation and targeted marketing during slower periods.
Feedback Analysis: We make it easy to gather and act on customer feedback, continually refining the dining experience.
Customer Segmentation: Identify and nurture high-value customers with loyalty programs and exclusive offers.
Waste Reduction: Use reservation data to accurately estimate daily needs, reducing waste and controlling costs.
Data Visualization: Intuitive tools turn complex data into clear insights, helping you quickly adapt to changing patterns.

Why We Focus on Commissions

In the restaurant industry, high commission rates from third-party platforms can significantly eat into profits. Plazn addresses this by empowering restaurants to manage reservations and customer relationships more effectively, reducing reliance on these platforms.

We'd Love Your Feedback

We're keen to hear from the HN community. How do you see data transforming the restaurant industry? What features would you like to see in a restaurant management tool? Your insights will be invaluable as we continue to develop Plazn.

Check us out at Plazn.com and share your thoughts!

Yes, but for a fairly unusual reason.

I have had cataract surgery. I now have fixed-focus lenses in both eyes. One eye focuses at infinity, the other at 20 feet. That is not ideal for a computer monitor (or for reading).

I have prescription glasses that put both eyes in focus at the standard distance from a monitor. When you use a computer 8 hours a day, it really matters.

For reading, I just use regular reading glasses. I'm sure that's only putting one eye in focus, but I don't read for long periods day after day, so it doesn't bother me.

Hookless rims are actually a pretty old technology. I had a beater 10-speed from the '70s with hookless ISO 630 aluminum rims. Then as now, they tend to run a lot tighter tires than hooked rims, and that bike, as are many newer ones with TLR rims, was kind of a bastard to change a tire on.

Could you please explain the advantages of Taipy over Streamlit and Shiny for Python?
There's an old gcc bug report about whether uint8_t should have the magic aliasing properties of char or not. I don't remember what they concluded.

You can cast any pointer you like to any other pointer. When you dereference it, if the declared type is not the type of the underlying object, bad times for you.

An interface which takes a uint8_t* and immediately invokes UB if you pass it anything other than a pointer to a uint64_t can indeed be written, but one should expect people to pass it things other than a cast uint64_t*.

Further, the magic aliasing char doesn't work in both directions. If this code was changed to take a char instead of a uint8_t it would be exactly as undefined as it is currently. You can aim a char* into a uint64_t and deref the char, but you can't aim a uint64_t* into a char and deref the uint64_t.*

I've seen examples with the AI "generated" images and the source image side by side - I'll try and find them.

Not sure I've ever heard anyone refer to Henry Kissinger as "a very nice and charismatic person".

Samsung "failed"? As far as I know they are pretty close behind TSMC. Sure, not at the exact same node, but being this close I don't call failure at all. Even staying in the race and keeping up the pace is a huge achievement.

> Doesn't this work the other way around as well?

It does. But the difference is:

- They're coming from behind and enjoy latecomer's advantage. They can take advantage of western R&D results. They may not be able to obtain all the details, but just knowing that a particular R&D path is viable is already an advantage.

- They have a captive market thanks to sanctions.

- They're coming from a smaller size. Chinese semiconductor companies had such small market share that capturing even a small part of only the Chinese market already translates to tremendous growth. They can only go up while the western supply chain will go down.

Finally, there's the global south which is also growing. This is a huge market that they can sell to. In the future, western suppliers will have to compete with Chinese suppliers in this market, even if Chinese suppliers are locked out of western markets.

Exactly, there was no winning at the early 2000s Real Madrid full of rock stars (Zidane, the original Ronaldo, Figo, Beckham etc) until a rock like Makelele came around in the midfield. I'm surprised that the business luminaries have stopped seeing this basic fact, maybe it's because of the monopoly/oligopoly positions where they've managed to put themselves in and which makes them impervious to how badly their teams are run.

Show HN: Qdorks.com – Advanced Google search query composer
Hi HN,

qdorks.com is an advanced Google search query composer I have been working on lately. It makes it super easy to write complex Google search queries and save them for later usage.

Main features:

* Query composer with complex grouping, logical and exclusion operators per clause.

* Share your queries with others so they can easily copy and modify the query.

* No need to register; only when you want to save the queries.

* AI support for PRO users.

* More to come...

I am pretty happy with how it works and would love your feedback! Happy to answer any questions. Thank you!

It means that your cpu has 7x more work to do than it is capable of executing. 100% is a full load of a single core, 700% will be 7 cores working at 100% each.
it's not possible to calculate exact payout because the payout is 70% of every dollar spotify generates so that obviously fluctuates day to day, then you have ad tier vs premium tier and then i read that the payout goes through another calculation based on what total percentage of streams you have out of the total and then depending on the label how much they pass on

2GB is a huge amount - you'd be dropping a dozen layers. Saving a few MB should be sufficient, and a layer is generally going to be orders of megabytes, so unless your model fits perfectly into VRAM (using 100%) you're already going to be leaving at least a few MB / 10s of MBs/ 100s of MBs free.

Your window manager will already have reserved its vRAM upfront so it isn't a big deal to use ~all of the rest.
