I’m a huge fan of Serverless. I’m also a huge fan of simplicity.

My advice to anyone starting out on a purely web adventure: run your monolith on lambda. Just upload your whole app as your lambda. Use dynamodb for storage.

When your app gets popular, then optimize. Make a separate lambda for the popular part. Spin up a relational database or maybe an auto scaling group.

But start with a monolith on lambda. Get all the benefits without the downsides.

I have 15-20 comfortable train ride followed by a 15 minute stroll. It's pretty relaxing... If I'm in a hurry I can use a bike share to bike from the train station to the office but that's less relaxing since you have to watch out for cars...
I use Kagi’s AI stuff for search all the time. Just type in a question and add !fast… it’ll search the web, write a response based on what it finds, and gives you the links. It’s not perfect, but it’s at least as good as Bing with much less annoying UX.
Same experience with Google Assistant on Android. I used to be able to use it to create calendar events in one shot. A few years ago it started insisting on creating events in steps, which always failed miserably.
Why don't you like Google?

By all means buy the Asus.

Personally I'm done with the HP/Lenovo/Dell/Asus/Acer/<insert what I missed> offerings.

They make junk that breaks, is impossible to fix and they bundle more and more malware every year.

I'm happy to pay the small premium to a company that has different values. They need to cover their R&D and other costs that are higher per unit at their small scale. I'll be here to watch them grow and show the rest of the market how it's done.
Waiting til 20 works only if you're willing to wait to accept the benefits of US Citizenship until you are 20. My mother was in this category, and shortly after she registered to vote in the US, she received a letter stating that her Japanese citizenship was therefore revoked.

> I don't think they will really appreciate you using their hardware to train your model in a way they don't get to see.

This absolutely isn't the case. I know a number of vendors who are deploying edge ML capacity in satellites where the use case is for "agencies" to deploy ML algorithms that they (the vendors) cannot see.
Is a 30 minute commute that bad? I feel like a lot of people mindlessly browse for 60 minutes a day at home. You could do that on your commute instead of at home and get housework done at home.
> Unions can't force their members (or non-members) to strike, except for the fact that if as a member you refuse to join a strike organised by your union you might be expelled.

Unless I am heavily misreading, “we organized a strike, and if you don’t join us, you are expelled from the union” sounds exactly like a union forcing its members to strike.

What other kind of “forced to strike” scenario were you imagining? Union leaders holding those refusing to strike at a gunpoint? Because other than extreme examples like this one, it sounds like a textbook version of forcing members to strike.
It doesn't code like human so you would expect it to be better at some kinds of tasks. It brute forces the problems by generating a million solutions and then tries to trim that down, a few problems might be vulnerable to that style of approach.
The usual reasons, evil big corp monopoly with a user-hostile business model etc.

I still use their products. But if I had to pick a company to win the next gold rush, it wouldn't be an incumbent. It's not great that MSFT is winning either, but they are less user-hostile in the sense that they aren't dependent on advertising (another word for "psychological warfare" and "dragnet corporate surveillance"), and I also appreciate their pro-developer innovations.
Thanks for asking, created a ticket for .NET support here: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/issues/2955

I'm actually looking forward to it, I wanted to try on NuGet Trends but stopped on the first hurdle: https://github.com/dotnet/nuget-trends/pull/247
JAX is a wrapper on top of XLA. Instead of writing pure python, you're writing JAX abstractions.

for ex, a simple loop in JAX:

def solve(i, v): return i+v
x = jax.lax.fori_loop(0, 5, solve, 10)
Did OpenAI ask for permission or forgiveness in that regard?
Google is slowly adding a lot of small AI features though, for example recently they added these automatic "topic" search suggestion pills, or extended their auto-generated Q&A sections. The latter are hilarious, because whenever you expand a question, new questions are generated, ad absurdum if you want :)
So long as you consider "empty strings" to be "strings" in the first place. String of what?

It's like saying you have an "empty cup of water".
How many child laborers were used to mine the precious metals for those 14 motors and 4 batteries?
Probably, but at that point it means there is a new competitor and some people may jump closer to where the content is being made. Worst case, it means you don't have to stay on Twitter.

I say that's a huge win, when you shift your lens away from "the destructon of twitter" and instead "options outside of twitter"
GenAI does not have network effects, correct. There was a time last year when consumer search was still on the table, and I can see how MSFT winning share there might have conferred network effects for genAI, but it didn't happen. Now it's all about the enterprise, which is to say isolated data, which pretty much rules out network effects.
Don't take creepshots of people in public and mandatory shutter sounds will no longer be a thing.

"Oppressive" policies exist because people can't behave. Simple as that.
Chef Point Cafe [0] in Fort Worth, Texas was one I used to frequent.

The owner couldn't get a loan for a restaurant but could for a gas station, so he put his restaurant in the gas station. It got featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives which was amazing for him but made it much harder to get a seat!

They've closed down the original gas station restaurant last I saw, and now have a full restaurant. If the food hasn't changed I can say it was excellent. My go to was the Maple Leaf Duck, but the Cioppino was excellent as well.

This was an interesting read. I accidentally do something similar by explicitly denying all automated access via robots.txt. Just like the script, it's not a 100% effective way to keep unwanted attention out, but it's enough to avoid a first-pass attempt.

Midway through the conversation, I thought about what reverse uBlock would look like. Would this look like a firewall, or some other dedicated piece of software?

I would be interested in experimenting with controlling who can link to me on the server side. The level of control is limited, but you don't need to totally disable access to disincentivize looking for it.
It’s not where, it’s how.
The issue here isn't the technology though, it's imagination.

Think about gaming in VR. You might want to make a game where the ML can adapt to the physical peculiarities of a person (think like personalized audio for airpods) but want to guarantee it isn't giving the person an advantage. Even simple things like setting up a VR system (or any physical computing device) can give an advantage to someone if corruptible.

At the moment there are lots of "anti-cheat" technologies that attempt to solve this, but really it needs trusted execution.
Producing an ad for Tesla
It's only a nightmare if you are an adtech company whose revenue relies on tracking users, and have a history of violating their privacy.
I spotted that too, but also, it didn't recognise the "bird" until it had feet, when it is supposedly better than a human expert. I don't doubt that the examples were cherry-picked, so if this is the best it can do, it's not very convincing.
Melatonin for Sleep (2022)
> I’m yet to find a person that claims these solutions will be enough. It’s just a piece of the puzzle.

I know people that believe this, but they aren't scientists. I know quite a few climate scientists and none believe eliminating fossil fuels is enough. I've also never met one that is actually against CCS either, just differing arguments about how resources should be spent which is far more nuanced. Discussion is more complicated around nuclear but maybe I shouldn't bring that up. Its complicated so lots of "experts" on both sides get a lot of information wrong and passionately argue points that are inaccurate. I think around any complex topic -- which absolutely includes climate -- we need to adapt better language and often should probably shut up and listen to the experts. Where experts are not the people you see on the news (a whole other problem I don't want to go into).

I get wanting to make things clearer by simplifying them but you can only simplify so much without losing necessary complexity. The problem as old as time is that lies are unbounded in simplicity while truth has a lower bound in complexity. If you're passionate, you gotta put in the time to gain that knowledge, not just the time to expend your passionate energy.

The problem is that fighting misinformation with misinformation (even unintentional) provides an easy tool for your adversaries to discredit you. You no longer can claim to be founded in the basis of science/logic/facts/whatever you want to call it. It just becomes trivial to discredit and you perpetuate the tribalism. Articles like this even increase tribalism as it splits supporters of decarbonization and even people who want to eliminate fossil fuels. Because now we have to have this discussion instead of the important ones about decarbonization.
That's emotionlessness...not happiness. Can't wait for the next lecture from "the adults in the room" on the the virtues of colonialism & why the current war on a way of life is necessary for Democracy. Meanwhile I'm wondering how the military or the jet setting managerial class is never held responsible for its CO2 emissions...or how CO2 doomsday cult members do not seem to notice that their international CO2 summits do nothing to affect the atmospheric CO2 levels.

I'm tired of this dream of idiocracy...wake me up already
Ask HN: Anyone here can help with Plivo accounts?
I am trying to sign up for a Plivo account as a business but the automated system is just refusing even a simple sign up. I have opened a support ticket where the other side seems to be a LLM and only has one sentence in its vocabulary, "We can't tell you why we won't allow you to sign up".

Is there anyone here that may be able to help?
And what happens when they try to implement a language that doesn't allow function names like these? Or has multiple possible syntaxes for a function? Or differentiates between methods, lambdas, procs, etc? Or straight up doesn't have functions but is still very capable of solving the problem?
What do you think doujins are?
But to their credit, there was a feature gap in SQL before jsonb was added.
Balmer made Microsoft the most profitable it had ever been. He didn't grow them into big new areas, but he improved the focus, trimmed the costs, and vastly improved the bottom line. A successful company may need vision and expansion, but at some point it also needs to be able to actually convert that into profit, otherwise you turn into Sun - or indeed recent Google, who've come out with some great products but never managed to convert any of them into profit centers.
I don't see the difference between cost and viability. Of course we can fuse atoms. We've been doing it with regularity since the 50s. Of course we can use magnetic confinement to do it. The only reason we haven't burned a plasma in a magnetic confinement machine is because the machine to do it costs a lot of money. We don't have the industrial throughput as a society to make 1,000 megaprojects simultaneously. Whether you call that a cost problem or a viability problem is irrelevant.
No, what it’s showing is that synthetic tests where Claude didn’t perform well can still work if prompted right.

But at the end of the day the test was still synthetic!

Placing out-of-context things in a 200k document, needle in a haystack style.

Claude is still very very powerful for extracting data from 200k when it’s real world data and real questions (not adversarial synthetic test).
Database design is, unfortunately, a lost art. Up through the early 2010's I remember having design reviews for database schemas, etc. That isn't "agile"... so you just fix it in the next sprint, as you explain to someone what a unique constraint is and why a table is now full of duplicates.
> AMD should finance a competitor.

If they can’t afford to out R&D Nvidia today, how could they afford to fund a competitor? In the past 20 years the only serious new entrant to the discrete GPU market has been Intel and they are also far behind Nvidia and CUDA.
Do you have any evidence the article was plagiarised from the source, other than the fact they write about the same thing at about the same time? It's a pretty serious allegation.
Ah that’s right. I guess my question is, is it a true multimodal model (able to produce arbitrary audio) or is it a speech to text system (OpenAI has a model called Whisper for this) feeding text to the model and then using text to speech to read it aloud.

Though now that I am reading the Gemini technical report, it can only receive audio as input, it can’t produce audio as output.

Still based on quickly glancing at their technical report it seems Gemini might have superior audio input capabilities. I am not sure of this though now that I think about it.
FIPS usually implies a bunch of counterproductive architectural decisions and makes it harder/slower to produce security patches.

Also, FIPS used to mandate support for an almost-certainly-backdoored cryptographically secure random number generator, and continued to do so well after it was obviously flawed:

If the whole western world, China, Japan and Australia all want to switch to grid storage, we cant in a hundred years scale up production enough, especially because ’everything’ else in the world also needs batteries.

Building enough grid storage is a pie in the sky. Don’t fall for it- enough people do and we are all screwed.
So if I understand correctly, the Freeman is traveling 66.7 m/s at the end, which is 149 mph?

The plan seems to actually be auto replace the Z values in the editor views with human readable values, which will automatically use the contributors preferred language.

This of course only works if all functions, and all parameters, etc have had labels submitted for your language.

They indicate wanting to cater to cultures that might not use a base 10 representation of numbers, so would presumably autotranforms numeric literals for people from those cultures.

They are worried about programming languages being englished based, but seem to think that similar autotranslating of keywords is a good enough approach, so that is why they NEED to support multiple languages, so that they might hypothetically support some language that supports base 60 math and keywords based on [insert language here].

Plenty of room for abuse here, as it would be really easy to edit functions being used for text generation of less popular languages to output offensive text, for things not tested by the test cases. And nobody except people who know that language will be able to tell for sure that this is not a legit contribution.

Then of course people will by trying to code sandbox and then container breaks, cryptominers, etc. I expect a giant game of whack-a-mole between the project and the admins.

On that note even ignoring the abuse, or people trying to utilize the service for free compute resources, I can see the costs of this service becoming substantial really quick. Just from things like legitimate contributions of test cases, and new language implementations, and running the test cases again all the different implementations.
One method is to do quick sketches on bits of paper, and just mentally plan on throwing them away, regardless. It helps lift the subconscious weight of thinking someone else might see how bad it is, or that you've ruined some final product.

Resketching the same thing repeatedly helps too, just nit pick what you hated about the last iteration and try again.

I've been doing that often as I pick up art again. Early, I had started a portrait of my late dad but because I initially tried to make it good, I felt resistance to doing more out of fear of ruining what I worked so hard already for (which is fairly blocky and cartoonish anyway hah)
Rudy's is in a few locations in Austin and Houston, at least, and I believe they are all bbq+Shell's.
Probably gotta define h(x) = f(g(x)) and then invoke h. Or they should build a REPL or Fiddle interface to let you test arbitrary expressions.
We needed a large highly isolating cage for a project and the cost-effective (but still costly) way to do that was to build our own, having local welders make a custom steel box and lining it up with rf anechoic pyramid foam, otherwise the reflections make weird RF noise. A tricky part is the seams where your doors meet the box. It's easier to get good isolation from outside if you don't have to connect any wires, i.e. if any "control" you need is done by a battery-powered computer (laptop or smartphone) inside the isolation.
By this I mean that Microsoft had the positioning of an iPhone in a not-so-great version.
Where as Android relied on the "Open source" and free side for manufacturers to adapt to their phones, even if Google's services remained proprietary.

Can we really talk about timing, when it's above all a problem of a product that didn't fit the market?
I checked the run-up length, too. The long jump runway is 40m or ~2000 units, and the player only needed 1305 units to build up speed for this seventh jump.
Then this makes counseling a sham. It's a lie. It's not counseling, it's telling people what they want to hear for money. No actual help is being provided. Sometimes, help is "tough."
Healthcare service is one of the most "inefficient" labor productivity industry, and it's closed in the nation. Not good for the future.
> Shitty vesting schedules (10/20/30/40 at Snap) -- see Amazon and quite a few other top tech employers.

Small correction: while it is still technically true about Amazon, starting around 2019 or 2020, they made a change to somewhat address this. Their offers now also give a cash grant that is supposed to make up that difference due to backloaded vesting schedule for the first two years compared to the latter two.
lolol. I tell people if they're going to Rudy's for bbq, they're doing it wrong, BUT you can't beat their breakfast tacos in terms of bang for the buck - especially if you just landed on a red eye to IAH.
Let's have that conversation right now, then.

What about Internet access deserves to be considered a privilege and not a right? What human is less entitled to accessing the wealth of knowledge and information available on the Internet? Discriminating who can and cannot access the Internet is not something that will be popular or defensible.

If the search for knowledge itself is considered dangerous, then what of all the knowledge gathered on the public against its will?

Internet access isn't remotely comparable to driving. By driving, you're exposing yourself and others to potential mortal danger. Nothing is automatic, you must be aware of, and follow, all laws concerning how it is to be operated. You have to have a license.

The Internet's spirit will die the day you need a license to access it. The body will take a lot longer.
A microwave oven is an excellent (30-40dB) attenuator specifically around 2.4GHz. The legal requirements essentially mandate 30dB + manufacturing safety margin. Your mileage will vary for other frequencies, as they're not actually faraday cages, so it's usually easier to simply use aluminum foil or a copper mesh/PVC box depending on your needs.
And it's up to the PSF if they want to fund a conference in a country with unconscionable laws.
The BIOS never reads the logo image from OS partitions on a drive. It either gets it from firmware stored in flash on the motherboard, or from the EFI system partition on the harddrive. Thus dropping the logo file on ESP partition or reflashing the firmware are the two attack vectors.

Writing to other partitions is not an attack vector for this vulnerability, so encrypting those partitions does not protect against it.
Most of us would probably agree. A premium is fine, expected even. But does the premium have to be so premium?
Now the ad- and spyware just come bundled into the OS, so the main difference is that you at least have some ability to mitigate malware with root.
Ah codecs. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them.
Xilinx amortization..
They can certainly pretend they are for hiring purposes. Compared to a company that fired their CEO, nearly had the whole company walk out, then saw the board ousted and the CEO restored google does look more reliable.

Just don’t speak to xooglers about it. ;)
That’s different. It’s essentially using whisper model for audio to text and that inputs to ChatGPT.

Multimodal would be watching YouTube without captions and asking “how did a certain character know it was raining outside?” Based on rain sound but no image of rain
Side ports make sense on a 13/air type model, big desktop replacement not as much.

Also, FW doesn't sell a dock and the Dell dock I used to have was clunky and not that great. Now collecting dust, but been meaning to see if it is compatible with the fw13. However that will make my DP expansion port redundant. Not sure about graphics performance.
Vehicles are a special case of a hard realtime interaction between a person and the world, which should probably not be done at all by people who aren't good with their hands. I'm still not exactly sure how drivers don't hit the gas when they mean to hit the brakes at least a few times a year.

If a UI is realtime outside of video games(Where people do in fact love tactile UI), most would probably hate it.

Most UIs are an artificial constrained world where we deliberately don't want the level of control a chef has over the knife, because that would mean our own dexterity affects the final product, like with handwriting.

Tactile would be nice, but it's not as necessary when the UI only has a limited number of possibilities and a confirm step for everything.

Which is probably part of why we spend all day staring at the dang things,
they are so carefully designed not to challenge us that even staring at a wall feels like effort.
Then they cannot get Windows certification. Microsoft mandates Secure Boot disable setting for all x86 computers.
If it worked for Steve Jobs, maybe they're thinking it could work for them too?
Note that the individual in the linked article is different from your family's case because she naturalized as a US citizen.

Japan seems to enforce loss of citizenship more strictly in these cases. If your children are dual citizens from birth, different laws apply. As an example, despite Naomi Osaka publicly declaring to choose Japanese citizenship, she has not been reported to appear in the US government's "Quarterly Publication of Individuals, Who Have Chosen to Expatriate".
