I don’t know much about the space, but couldn’t LoRA be used to (moderately) efficiently use a relevant and individual fine-tuned model alongside a general LLM?
Typically when people are chasing ideas in quest for some investment of time they are thinking of solutions to apply instead of problems to solve. I recommend looking at problems you actually have right now. Things that consume your time, require you to look things up, or things you find frustrating and solve for that one step at a time. If it provides immediate value to you then odds are it will benefit other people as well.
Of course you can copy it. You just can’t sell that copy to someone else while keeping your own copy too. That’s copyright infringement.

I’m not sure what you’re on about with “license” in this context. You own the VHS. Do with it what you like.
Perhaps Ubuntu and its derivatives but mine (now Mint) has been removing the fourth kernel for probably five years.

devs have to use it to hoist it to a platform that can accessed by others before users can use it, right? imo users don't typically use open source software, they use generated artifacts from an upstream development process representing the capabilities of the software. users don't "use grafana", they use the implementation of how you deploy it.

it should be improved upon by responses from the users who use your implementation, but what you're saying suggests that efforts like architecting your software in ways that improve/maintain development standards or packaging your software in a dependency manager before delivering any level of user facing feature is a sad assumption to you. I don't think the concern of usability here takes the entire picture of a project into context.
May I suggest getting a nice small pocket camera?

I have used a lumix with 8X optical zoom (for a very long time) that is smaller than most smartphones (albeit thicker, thanks to the fetish for ultra-thin phones), has a removable SD card, and doesn't do processing beyond what it normally takes to make jpegs. Newer ones might have raw, I haven't checked. It has outlived many phones, has a removable battery, doesn't have a single f/1.8 aperture, and has a macro mode that doesn't require you to be 1/4 inch from the subject. If it's lost or stolen, I haven't handed over all my financial and personal data.

What will they think of next?
Is there a tool which helps migrating? I have tons of extensions and just iterating over them name-by-name and installing or offering to install what matches would clear a huge obstacle. I see there's a new option to directly import the Chrome extension but I suspect that's not the best.
Antibiotics and the childhood vaccines are modern medicine and have had an enormous impact on modern health outcomes. The bigger issue is that we picked a lot of the low hanging fruit in the 20th century so now advances are harder to come by.
When it's harder to legally pay for media than it is to pirate, it's your own fault when people pirate.
I've used pants at a small company <10 engineers and worked at a company migrating to Bazel with 200+ engineers. Bazel used to take a dedicated engineer 3-6+ months to bootstrap the full setup (creating the build files, seeing up the Bazel server, updating CI to use Bazel correctly including caching) especially since the docs weren't great from what I remember. I suspect that the time could be cut down by now especially if someone experienced with it does the implementation. Given the amount of time necessary for the setup, it typically makes sense for companies with monorepos with 50+ engineers although existing expertise would change the equation.

Thats's the thing about accessibility - it's a rising tide that lifts all ships. Once, curb ramps were introduced for people in wheelchairs. Now they're an expectation of any sidewalk for their convenience. Same here.
I have to say that is precisely the opposite of my experience.

I held on to a 2012 4 GB MacBook Air until fairly recently as my casual web browsing machine. With such low system memory, I had to be extremely economical with my open tabs; no more than 3 or 4 at a time. The great suspender plugin helped until it became malware infested, and with that no longer an option, I moved to Firefox. The resource utlization improvement was immediately apparent and I haven't looked back, even after I finally updated my machine.

Senior SWE with 10 YoE, currently at a RoR startup, my day to day is primarily backend work but I'm equally capable of and enjoy writing frontend code too.

I enjoy working with other enthusiastic engineers to solve exciting problems!
It's genuinely interesting that he says that the USB flashing can't be relied on: we've been using the S3 at work for... gosh, 12 months? Longer? And it's been perfectly reliable for us -- and that's despite us flashing it via OpenOCD inside a Docker container, inside WSL2 with usbipd!
I could double my pay by increasing my hours by half, but 50 hours a week is enough. I value my sanity.

As far as UX, and a product, chatGPT is terrible!

Astounding and blows my mind for a 80+b dollar company. The model and tech (and team) is that value of course, but how can't they at the very most basic level, clean up the 'sidebar'. Prompts search and GPT labelling. Even when they had the plugins, most ppl didn't know you had to click on the GPT4 button to revial, because why would they...nothing indicated to (like an arrow). Total amateur hr in the UX and DX dept and they treat they're paid customers like trash.

If this is how Sam Altman thought product leaders at YC to build product I'm shocked. Cause OpenAI is way behind where they should be will literally a million dollars thrown at improving this things in a cpl weeks...and they've had a yr
You can resize your primary partition, move it to a larger offset, then resize /boot. You can also move /boot to the end of your disk. gparted supports this stuff pretty well.
Don’t be the Google hire that makes everything complicated. Be prepared to be told no, or to bring a better argument.

We use Bazel at work and it’s sufficiently complex to write new rules. I’ve seen NX touted as a more approachable equivalent for smaller teams, maybe check it out?
A level of trade protectionism second only to North Korea has done a handy job of protecting all these various cottage industries...and I really don't see the difference between this and any of the other bespoke high-end goods made throughout western history?

Tenacity? Their tenacity for genocide, torture, and chemical/biological warfare is probably something we could do without.

This is still topical because for decades the powers that be in Japan have been openly pushing "we did nothing wrong / were the victims in WW2" historical revisionism that would make a Texas Board of Education member blush, and they've been increasingly running roughshod over the restrictions on military buildup.

Then there's the horrific criminal justice system.

Oh, and there's also the rampant xenophobia and racism.

You spoke of high praise for their manga; google "terraformars." A manga that started in 2011, gained an anime adaptation, and is still wildly popular. White/asian space settlers land on mars and battle native "bugs" that look exactly like extreme caricatures of black people, right down to their hair and hairstyling.
Key graph:

"Ordinarily, I believe that the order of influence is from character to ideas. But surely, what we think can affect how we act. Especially when, as in Parfit’s case, an intellectual project persists for decades and grows from fascination into monomania."

Good observation.

It doesn't explain all his eccentricities and it certainly doesn't excuse the EA movement from canonizing the monomania.
It’s like tea in Britain. Almost everyone drinks it — it’s truly a national obsession and we’re proud of it — but the average quality is awful. Even moving from teabags to loose leaf is a vast improvement and yet is still considered a bit too posh/hipster for most.

As you say, same with coffee in Italy. People conflate widespread popularity with deep knowledge.

Java seems like a particularly bad case to migrate for a non-google-size company, how does it even work? Do you have to check in every maven dependency to the monorepo as source?

Uber will continue to grow in profatbility. As the platform matures and continues to grow in revenue, the overhead development cost will actually decline, not just as a percentage but as an absolute number as well.

Furthermore, Lyft being borderline bankrupt helps Uber take more advantage of the most profitable and largest market.
5.9 in the gym and 5.9 outdoors are wildly different levels of difficulty. Depending on location an outdoor 5.9 could be the equivalent of anything from a 5.11a to a 5.12 and in addition you’re on lead which adds another significant level of difficulty.
It all goes on liability insurance. And other insurances.
Well then there's no nicer way to put this, you're utterly naive about how political and legal systems work the whole world over. I'm not arguing for immunity for politicians, if I had my way all politicians would be launched into the sun (though they'd be quickly replaced by yet more politicians).

I'm arguing that a law like you're proposing will inevitably be enforced unequally, be enforced against people who spoke unpopular truths that powerful people claimed were legally lies, and will be used by powerful interests to suppress their enemies. This isn't pessimism, this is a "this has happened anytime this or anything similar to it has been tried" and anyone with the most basic understanding of human nature could see that.
Ask HN: How would you do renewable clothing as a service?
I'm really into renewable X and sustainability, so this is something I'm personally interested in and I see so many people doing subscription based fashion.

I saw a few years ago an ad at H&M about their Loooop machine that they use to renew clothing. Could it be possible to make clothes shopping fun, fitted and tailored, and environmentally friendly? Could even leverage AI to come up with designs when there are various strand colors and textile types.

Now, I have no idea how the Loooop machine works or how exactly something like this _could_ work, but I don't think its impossible. However, I do know that I see a lot of people upset about fast fashion, and I personally go through a lot of socks and t shirts each year.

I have experience forecasting for retail planning for a big clothes retailer, but that's about the extent of my personal experience with this industry. (I'm a software engineer these days)

Could even be on demand- as seasons change, the used clothes can be sent in and "traded" for heavier socks, or maybe the undershirts are turned into neckwarmers and the undies into thermals. Turn 3 pairs of socks into a hat, or something else.
The cool folks refer to it as TKG. ;-)

We all do in the end.
When you submit an updated version to the Edge extension store they say they'll get back to you in 7 working days; sometimes it gets approved sooner than that, but they're usually not joking.

If your extension requires frequent changes due to its target site(s) changing underneath it, the Edge version can end up being weeks behind. At least they do let you cancel pending versions and resubmit, unlike the Chrome web store where you're just stuck until the review is done.

I'm not sure this battery pack is something you could lift into the vehicle alone, either-- estimates are it's 500 pounds) So 15kW + some fuel might be possible in less heft, which could get you 2.5x the range.

Is this because you thought GotG 1-3 were bad and they are just going to keep making more bad stuff, or because you thought GotG 1-3 were good but have pretty much wrapped up the story of those characters so it is now time to stop, or something else?
When I see cases like this, I always think of the saying that charity begins at home. If a person treats those close to them callously, I am highly skeptical of their ability to reach correct ethical conclusions on a broader scale.
my personal rule of thumb : if they're going for the eccentricity, it's absurd -- but if they just act that way and they lean-in they're weird.

Tim & Eric and similar acts are absurd -- the people themselves are somewhat normal and put on a show when the gong sounds; this is obvious in their 'normal' productions.

Bjork, Steven Wright, Emo Phillips, Andy Kaufman, Tom Waits -- they roll out of bed 'acting that way'.
"(Truth is always an absolute defence in libel cases.)"

In US law, yes. But I thought that was not so under English law. "Mansfield said it, it's true as the Bible/The greater the truth, the greater the libel." was an old summary.
Nobody denies that Russia has tried to do everything they could to leave their neighbours internationally isolated to make them easy to subjugate. Criminals would no doubt like to see the police abolished and security systems dismantled. The question is why should anyone lend any legitimacy to their pretended excuses and sacrifice the freedom and wellbeing of tens of millions of Europeans in the name of imagined Russian "security concerns", which is just thinly veiled frustration over being unable to conquer them by force as long as international cooperation remains tight.

I don't want to see Russians destroy my home with artillery, rape and murder the people around me, and force me to live in Russia, where human life has no value, elections are rigged, and police can rape peaceful protestors with impunity. Can you perhaps devote a few seconds to my security concerns for a change?

I wish I knew of this earlier. My wife and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary at the end of the month and our theme this year calls for something made of wood. Unfortunately the timing and logistical challenge of sourcing something like this from Japan rules it out as a potential gift idea.

The inventions were partly understood mechanistically- just like ML. What we didn't understand was the consequences of deployment (such as massive radiation leaks due to testing, unpredictable yields, the risks of global thermonuclear war, and the ongoing cost of maintaining a fleet of nuclear weapons).

Similar issues with molecular biology- we knew how to clone a gene from one organism to another, but that doesn't mean we really knew all the things going on (side effects) or what the large-scale implications are (hence the Asilomar agreement).

Even cars- while engines were understood mechanistically, it took quite some time for people to appreciate why automobile safety glass was necessary.

See the experiences learned during testing nuclear weapons- we tested them because we didn't understand them mechanistcally, at least not fully enough to predict many effects.

I mostly agree with grades as a concept. I just hated the princeton grade deflation system because it was obviously harming grad school applications for us, and the administration would gaslight us. They got rid of it and basically said that the only reason was for the mental health of students.

I disagree with grades as implemented because schools have so many diverse grading policies. I think grading systems should be improved.
Same here, no difference.

It’s interesting you point that out, because businesses that are clearly incredibly successful and have hordes of loyal customers and yet seemingly have zero interest in expansion is something I strongly associate with Japan.

Think of the humble noodle shop with three seats and a constant queue of thirty people down the street. Intensely business-minded (almost imperialistic) people find it very hard to understand people who just don’t think that way. For some, doing one’s best and getting by is enough. But it seems naive and backward to others.
Firefox's users shouldn't have to ignore or disable them.

That kind of extraneous functionality just shouldn't be bundled with Firefox to begin with.

If a user does want such functionality, then an extension could be voluntarily installed to provide it.
> Right, so he could have picked the option where he walked free in six months

You missed this part:

> However, if he plead guilty to a felony, he could have been sentenced to as many as 5 years, despite the government's agreement not to argue for more. Each additional conviction would increase the cap by 5 years, though the guidelines calculation would remain the same. No wonder he didn't want to plead to 13 felonies.

There was no guarantee it would only be a six-month sentence.

I'm actually in the "personal responsibility" camp myself, but the amount of overcharging they did to him was obscene. He wasn't facing the consequences of his actions-- he was about to get fucked by the Statutory Ape.

To put it in perspective...Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years for being an accomplice to child sex trafficking. This is the same sentence given to lesser spies. Swartz committed trespassing, a bunch of copyright infringement, and caused a DoS? It's not cool, but it's not 2.5x worse than pimping children.
Definitely not but it was the most elegant solution that I could think of right away, so I committed to it. In hindsight, it would've been relatively easy to solve with some loops and no dependencies but hey, I wouldn't have learned so much about the rust regex ecosystem that way.
A PHEV battery is 1/10th the size of an EV battery typically giving about 50 km of range. 90% of most people's daily use is less than 50 km. We could build 10 PHEVs with the battery from one EV. This means instead of an EV cutting fossil fuel use by 100%, 10 PHEVs could cut fossil fuel use by 90% x 10 = 900%.

PHEVs also charge faster due to the battery being 1/10th the size but they don't require buying a 240v charger and can be charged using 120v in 1/5th the time of an EV.

If you don't have anywhere to charge, you'll have to get an HEV.
