> You literally are trapped by capitalism.

I'm not sure that capitalism is the creator of poverty. There have been poor throughout history and nearly all of them living in vastly worse material conditions than the poor in modern capitalist societies.
You forgot to attribute the quote to Musk, arguably the least reliable person in our lifetime.
That makes sense - but in Google's case, I'd expect them to have access to private datasets that would give it something different than public models like SD.
My limited anecdata does not support this. The kids who are the best on my children's sport teams are the ones who play club sports in addition to the regular season, who go to sport camps and are on multiple teams. It's clear why they are better. They spend all their time not in class, playing or practicing.

Financially, we are at least peers to all these families that spend so much time on sports but we don't prioritize it the same way so my kids are mid level players.

Obviously genetic differences do account for some variability especially at the extremes. A 190cm sophomore is going to have an easier time on the basketball court than a 165cm kid.

Even for non-unionised people, labour protection laws in Germany are completely incomparable to the US:

1. Mandatory notice periods (3 months is customary, mimumum 1 month)

2. "Social selection", i.e. you're not allowed to lay off a pregnant person etc. unless you have demonstrated that there were no other people you could have let go instead

3. There needs to be cause. Downsizing can still mean you get laid off, but you can't just fire a team or an individual because you don't like them etc.

Of course, if you left a company because you didn't agree to their rules instead of being laid off, none of these protections apply to you - why would they?
I don't know. It seems job seekers still see a tight market right now.

> We no longer live under the rule of law, there is no equality brfore it,

Anybody else but Trump would be in prison already for what he has done (urging his followers who he knew to be armed to "go to the capital and Fight Like Hell"). So it is true that equality before the law is definitely lacking in action.

Another thing that makes me agree with "there is no equality" is that when you follow the news you see things like Giuliani owes his lawyers over million dollars. So it seems you need over a million dollars to get justice. Or alternatively, you can try to avoid justice, by spending millions.

Trump says he has "over $100 million in legal fees"

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4282653-trump-s....

So again it seems you need $100 million to get justice, or alternatively to escape from it. How can justice that costs $100 million be fair and equitable to all?

Carbon pricing would raise trillions needed to tackle climate crisis, says IMF
No, because “the index of a string within a string” would be consistently defined to always be the lower index (or, alternatively, always the upper index). There is no intrinsic relation to the search direction, since all characters of the search string have to be compared regardless of the direction. For example, when searching from the end, the search algorithm could start comparing at index `totalLength - searchStringLength`.

To further illustrate, it would be the index where, if the search string is removed from the found position, it would have to be inserted in order to revert to the original string.

> To me, it is far greater malicious deception that we have a category of business that is essentially allowed to advertise false pricing, where as a customer you are expected to routinely pay much more than the stated price for things.

I agree with you on that.

"Malicious deception" was not intended as a personal attack, I understand if it sounds like that. I tried to express how far off from reality this is when looking at all kinds of work, not only waiters.

I can sympathize with preferring being a waiter to e.g. unskilled factory or warehouse jobs.

There are just so many break-neck types of work that destroy the health of anyone doing them...

in short: my point wasn't much more than "markets aren't fair and some people have to choose between bad options"
Today your speed tier is based on what you pay. If you pay for the priority or business tier service you absolutely get over 100Mbps consistently, a lot more. If you pay for the basic service tier then yeah you might only get 3-4x DSL speeds which is still phenomenal for the purpose being discussed here.

Free tool for coding education – record project state through time automatically
Just released a Free tool for programming educators and students - CodeTimeTravel - which lets teacher record whole project state throughout the lecture and provides UI for students to time travel the code which makes it easier to understand additions, jump to further part, experiment, easier to rewind to working state.
I'm very interested in Your opinion if this could be beneficial to someone. BTW - That's super early POC. Thanks!

I get excited when hackers like Justine (in the most positive sense of the word) start working with LLMs.

But every time, I am let down. I still dream of some hacker making LLMs run on low-end computers like a 4GB rasbperry pi. My main issues with LLMs is that you almost need a PS5 to run the them.
Moving 237.22 TB in 7 days requires ~3.14 Gbps of bandwidth, assuming that the clock starts ticking the moment that he actually starts moving data. In practice, the requirements would be even higher (subtracting out the time between notice being sent and read, plus time to actually set up alternative storage). Does Google even provide that level of read throughput to Google Drive customers?
> But how can you call documentation wrong without seeing the source code?

Very easy - by observing reality, and how it matches to what's documented

> And if the direct source is wrong, how could the secondary source then be right?

In exactly the same easy way - by observing and documenting reality. For the same reason this is a second primary source, not a secondary one

> Sounds to me like developer or designer arrogance is at play here, when they should be questioning the correctness of their own understanding.

Good albeit slightly misdirected advice, we have a great case of misunderstanding pretty trivial things that lead to trivial questions and faulty personality assessment

Wait, what? Inflation makes money hidden under a mattress lose value faster than it otherwise would have.

Unless you're upset about more money being invested in vehicles like CDs and bonds. But that isn't bad for the economy at all. The money doesn't just sit in a giant vault, it gets routed to economically useful activities.
Rsync.net works out essentially the same ($6/month cheaper) on a monthly basis, but offers 10% and 15% discounts for 12 and 24 month options.

B2 does mention a "capacity bundle", saying 250TB/year is $19.5K - but that's $1.5K more than the monthly pricing for the same capacity so it doesn't seem like they have any meaningful long-term pricing discounts.
Design systems following the philosophy "Strong Opinions, Weakly Held" are the sweet spot.

Having a consistent reference for stuff like "what's the standard color gradient for a Generative AI placeholder" is hugely valuable, BUT UXD / Engineering must have leeway to interpret the spirit of the system and not be forced into pixel-perfect adherence.

Experienced this 1st hand with earlier version of Material Design. SO MUCH WHITE SPACE! This is fine for some use-cases, but when you're building an internal tool for technical users who need an information-dense experience, following padding / margin guidelines is sub optimal.

You might have to find a jurisdiction more to your liking then. Conversely, I don't like the current brutalist labor environment and do like these government and regulatory levers that can be pulled. Private agreements are worthless based on available evidence. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share. Consider non competes (private agreements) being invalidated, and the evidence they are a detriment to workers and innovation.
The United States has 43k fatalities caused by drivers every year, and millions of people suffer life-altering injuries and billions in property damages.

There are only two ways we’re going to improve that: letting fewer people drive or making cars harder to use unsafely. Since there’s intense political opposition to building bike/transit infrastructure, removing driving privileges or even ticketing unsafe drivers, we’re going to keep seeing attempts to solve the problem with technical measures.

Thanks, struggled to find the correct formatting. Corrected it now.
No, my point was that tiny bit wouldn't have worked with this. Some startup get benefit of scale like Tesla or OpenAI or Uber. If they are constrained in how much money they could burn they wouldn't have gotten anywhere. They all chose to not do calculation on RoI and won(but most would lose). To make vertical farming successful we need new discoveries and inventions that requires money and has uncertain success probability.

Startup investors are wary of the fact that they are more likely going to loose all of the money.
By 2014, the Tegra X1 was already picked as the Switch SoC.

From digging at history threads: The alternative SoC option they had was a quad-A53 SoC with Decaf (a Wii U GPU cut in half with Wii backwards compat gone) co-designed with STMicro.
It's important to remember this the next time you're excited for a new tech company.
Has Cloudflare been "lighting money on fire"? That would imply that they're chasing some unattainable goal or using their funding unwisely, yet they currently provide an extremely valuable service to a significant portion of the internet and they're rapidly expanding into a well rounded cloud computing platform.

Most of these "AI companies" are a novelty that will never deliver anything useful, much less anything remarkable.
This is an “everyone can win” situation. Netflix leadership could align incentives so that doing the best thing for Netflix is also the selfish thing that maximizes your performance review, bonus, and RSUs.

Statements like this imply that doing the best thing for the company won’t be rewarded in the best way for individuals. Why not?
Agreed.

Contrast this "unlimited" with how gmail was rolled out – gmail didn't offer unlimited email storage, it just offered a number orders of magnitude greater than everyone thought was realistic at the time.
Teenage Engineering – Choir
If you're making a universal claim like that, you are just being contrarian. My last job was at a Series C startup that you've probably never heard of, and when they had to lay off 2/3rds of their employees in late 2020 due to the pandemic, they gave a couple months of severance (don't remember the exact amount, I wasn't laid off) + extended COBRA coverage.
While the billboard may be an international corporation, they target local business. Most billboards I see in rural areas are for local businesses targeting travelers with things they probably need anyway - gas, hotels, and restaurants at the next exit. In cities there is a different mix.
Thanks for challenging my take and for trying to keep the thread focused. Your response was the only one that did not derailed in some way or other.

Back to your response :

Is it the case that Hamas kept on going full on rockets after all the terrorists they sent were killed ?
I am asking because they were already launching rockets before and Israel did not invade Gaza and instead relied on the Iron Dome and somewhat targeted strikes.
I think it matters because it would make the difference between defense and vengeance.

Some people are asking what I think Israel should have done. It's a hard path but I think they should have remained in the role of blatant victim and appeal to the international community to pressure for the release of hostages. Now you can argue that the other side is crazy and justify a hard stance in the eyes of the world. The dead are already dead and engaging in pointless counterinsurgency wars will make you look bad while achieving nothing but maybe endangering the life of hostages. But hey maybe I am deluded who knows.
> if insiders think it's "mostly fine", that might explain why you only see outsiders coming in with radical ideas.

Radical ideas may be needed occasionally, but these techbros just set half a billion on fire trying to execute something farmers likely realized wasn't logistically feasible in their market ages ago.

In the article, employees say the leadership signed deals with contractual terms that their own researchers warned couldn't be met. The founder is now launching a Farming-as-a-service startup, presumably without any of the employee expertise they fired at their last company.

It is certainly better than a lot of existing options, but so is Starlink. I'd have expected an option that excludes Starlink to be something fairly future-proof. And, IME, people in those remote areas are using Starlink pretty successfully now.

Instead, these standards are so low that it makes me wonder how Starlink doesn't qualify. The fact that they are just out of reach of Starlink in just enough areas to disqualify them does make the whole process a bit suspect looking.
I've never understood why billboards are legal. They're distracting and placed along the roads and highways. In my driving course I remember being told that even so much as talking to a passenger or adjusting the volume of the radio can be dangerous so you should be paying 100% attention to the road.

So why are billboards, things that are specifically built, along roads, to draw my attention legal?

First of all, surface salt doesn't taste nearly as good as food that is salted throughout. Every chef knows this. Not to mention that salting foods before cooking changes their texture as well. This is why a steak that is salted an hour before grilling is far more flavorful and has a better texture than one cooked without salt, but salted at the table. And it's not a subtle difference, either -- we're talking night-and-day.

And dessert basically goes the same way -- I honestly can't even imagine what something like a cherry pie would be if it were cooked without sugar, and then you were expected to dump sugar on top. But it would not be good.
What Is Attribute-Based Access Control
DRM is, generally, about whether or not you can copy the files, or how you use the software (whether it's licensed use).

This isn't DRM (though that's bad too). It's far worse. It's ransomware, they hijacked trains. Everyone involved should be locked in a dungeon for the better part of a century.
I'm always torn by stuff like this. On the one hand, I think people who have more do have a moral obligation to spread the wealth better (though I tend to feel uneasy with many of the ways we try to use government to force that to happen).

OTOH, comparison is the thief of joy. There will always be people dramatically wealthier than me, and I'm not sure that's a problem. We are living in an era in which so many people are fantastically well off compared to any other time in history. In absolute terms compared to all of human history, there are very few poor people in Germany, for example, and many (most?) of those deemed poor in Germany have a standard of living quite a bit higher than millions in other parts of the world.

So... I don't know what the right balance is. I'm very open to discussions about improving peoples' lives, but the focus on inequality specifically seems largely unhelpful and a source for perpetual grievances. Maybe it's just a matter of tone or perspective - "look at all these people that have more than you" seems much less compelling than "compared to the past, things are quite good, but let's see if we can do even better".
Heavy industrial toxic zones are allowed all over the USA in populated areas because it's profitable.

There are hundreds of thousands of trucks in the USA alone with emissions bypass chips or devices that are rolling carcinogen generators on all the roads.

Leaded fuels is still sprayed everywhere for decades by propeller aircraft, across entire neighborhoods near airports in the USA

Fracking with toxic chemicals is done in or near populations.

Socializing the cost of cancer while privatizing profit is all what the USA is about.

Can't say "we didn't know" anymore. We know, we just don't care as long as it's not themselves.
It isn't a "software limit" beyond just being controlled by writing to certain CPU registers via software. It's very much a feature of the hardware, the same feature that allows for overclocking the chips.
Show HN: Gait Analyzer
When ever I visit my spine doctor, the first thing they ask me to do is to walk for checking my gait. I've been wanting to analyze my gait myself for a long time and only now its been possible due to accessible & efficient ML/AI and the ability to run complex models on local computer.

Gait abnormalities can be attributed to various musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and so gait analysis is being used as an important diagnostic tool by doctors.

Automated gait analysis requires expensive motion capture or multiple-camera systems. But with Gait Analyzer one can analyze their gait in comfort and privacy of their home on their computer.

Gait Analyzer implements the algorithm published in the paper titled Automated Gait Analysis Based on a Marker-Free Pose Estimation Model - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10384445/ .

This algorithm for gait analysis is shown to be as reliable as a motion capture system for most scenarios.

Gait Analyzer further uses Llama 2 large language model to interpret the gait data to the end user in simple terms.

You can test Gait Analyzer by uploading a short side-view video of you walking. In case you want to run it locally in your computer, It's available on docker and its open-source.

I'd appreciate your feedback to improve Gait Analyzer.

For a long time, how much staff you have at a company correlated with success.
