Sure but the assumption made already say, that SpaceX uses _all_ capacity for this program (and nothing else) and it doesn't require any double hops (I would think you need to at least add a factor of two for the up/down thing). And that you can see all satellites all the time. So it was a _very_ conservative assumption. And it would still require ~all launch capacity of 2024 and 2025. SpaceX calculations is extremely optimistic to the point of being delusional.

At least without Starship, which I _personally_ think that they will manage to iron out their problems of the course of next year. But even then _this_ timeline they won't be able to keep

WSJ Joanna Stern: GM recently announced that it's ditching Apple CarPlay.

Ford CEO Jim Farley: Yeah, how about that?

JS: How about that? How does Ford think about this? I mean, are you going to follow suit?

JF: Okay, so I guess you've got two camps in the software interior car OEMs. Tesla, and now it turns out GM, and then others. We're in this other group. I think the first three software shippable content that's going to be cool for customers is not the interior digital experience. Although that will always be super important because it's a safety critical device and there's going to be a lot more going on inside a car than your phone. So the interior has to be really well done. But in terms of content, we kind of lost that battle 10 years ago. So get real with it because you're not going to make a ton of money on content inside the vehicle. It's going to be safety, security, partial autonomy, and productivity in our eyes. So that relationship for content is between you, the Wall Street Journal, and the customer. I don't want to get in the middle of that, but Tesla and other companies believe differently. They want to have a complete control over the interior experience, and we don't think it's differentiating. 70% of our Ford customers in the U.S. are Apple customers. Why would I go to an Apple customer and say, "Good luck"? That doesn't seem customer-centric. And Apple does a really good job.
You're not "running your own mail server" if you're using Amazon SES (or some other service) to send your email. Which is the point the post on Twitter is making.
Placebo effects are weak (2015)
> Gmail support on the back end has solved issues like this within a day or two

I mean, has it? Even for plebes who might not know someone on the inside who can file an expedited request?

The problem isn't running your own server (that part has been a solved problem for over 25 years), it's keeping it off of these arbitrary "naughty lists". If Google decides to blacklist your IP, you're practically SOL. It becomes a Red Queen problem where you're forced to constantly fight these arbitrary battles.
I do not subscribe to Roko's Basilisk.

I would hope that the AGI would respect efficiency and not wasting compute resources.
This is a consequence of the train operator winning a court judgement to permit them to use third parties for servicing the trains, followed by "technical measures" of the manufacturer to cripple the trains if this was actually done.
Same issues with e.g. the Rockwell R6500 single-chip microcomputer family -- the actual microcontrollers, not their second-source MOS 6500 family chips. Rockwell put I/O stuff and stack both in zero page to make more efficient use of limited ROM space, and allow operation with only the tiny amount of on-chip RAM! A lot of stuff can be restructured to live with it, but almost nothing "just works."
I learned/realized recently it's only because of the US's deeply entrentched subsidies on corn that allows for HFCS to be cheaper than sugar and why it's so heavily used in processed foods.
Boston City Hall is pretty much the nadir of Soviet-looking Brutalism.
Notably, it got downranked pretty hard: it's currently in spot 49, after getting almost 300 votes in two hours. (I agree with the sibling comment that the snark was unnecessary, though.)
What if? I mean, we need better labor laws right now just to be able to form unions (if folks wanted to) and about half the country (or more) thinks things like regulation or unions are Evil Communist Socialism(TM).

That is to say, you're not wrong but if the hope is that people are going to be like "by golly, I've never thought of that, I'll just run right out and join a union" um... no.
A topic I've seen before, but one of the simplest presentations I've ever seen of it. Really well done.
I run my own servers. They’re on a VPS so I can empathize with folks when their mails get blacklisted because their server is on the CIDR range as some offender.

When I get repeat, bad spam that manages to sneak past my DKIM filters I generally reach out to the ISP that originated the messages and report the abuse before I report to the blacklists. Admins are generally quick to respond.

The problem is the spammers, scammers, blackmailers, etc. And maybe the domain registrars who enable them and anonymize them a little bit.
I think the blog post would be a lot easier to read if the code blocks had a background or a different text color.
Isn't disassembly illegal in EU, because [something something] IP yada yada?

Still, to put such restrictions in code and threaten the people who found them with legal action... I'm not even sure how to describe it.
In zsh you can fix it by prepending `sh` before the command: `sh ./llava-v1.5-7b-q4-main.llamafile`, it's a quirk with zsh and APE [1]

I see no such setting, for my free personal account which is currently overfull and not syncing due to having previously had some temporary promotional space above my current limit. Is this setting not present for everyone? If relevant, I am currently in Germany, although my account was created in either the US or Canada (I forget which).
I just want to start by acknowledging the demo of basic functionality is fantastic and feels very magical, and–perhaps crucially–it has been a couple years since I gave up on DRF completely. With that out of the way, I've run into issues with it when building actual applications. DRF serializers were absurdly slow. Relations were handled poorly. It steers you away from many of Django's standard features, including the forms interface, which is one of Django's best features. The documentation was lacking for rough patches in the API.
Don't blame Gmail:

Blame SPAMmers who abuse the system for their profit.

Blame our lawmakers who appear to be very lax in regulating SPAM. (In all forms, not just email.)

Blame the design of email that allows anyone to email anyone at any time for anything.

Blame the people who think that AI is capable of sorting out the good emails from the bad ones.

Gmail's incentives are to keep customers, and a big part of that is blocking SPAM. Unfortunately, running your own email server is always going to be a cat-and-mouse game with regard to making sure that you're following whatever best practices are needed to make sure that you're not a SPAMmer.
Careful, many are coated in glossy toxic plastics that also make them impossible to recycle. Just an extra "fuck you" to the world by the advertiser in permanently ruining the materials they used.
I would love to do a blind taste test. It could also be the aluminum can.

Even if a placebo, it's still true - I can't stand canned coke. I can't drink it, the taste to me is horrible.
I own my own domain and rely on the hosting company's servers for sending email. (But I send most email from my @gmail.com address.)

I understand the desire to operate your own email servers; but keep in mind that the cat-and-mouse game is going to continue to put the squeeze on you and require more and more of your attention. It's "not a big deal" if you're a large company, or operating email servers is your full-time job. Otherwise, if this is a hobby, the $100 / year to have someone else run your email server is probably a lot cheaper than your time.
Because they are trying to incentivize EV adoption not smaller vehicles. The top selling segments are SUVs and trucks. If you want to tackle emissions it makes sense to go after the popular vehicle types.
I agree.

I don't really object to ads as much as I object to the tracking that comes with them. Ad-free services that still do the tracking aren't really much of an improvement in my book.
Ah, but can you tell which part of the result is wrong? Maybe a follow up question to the LLM?
Not really, since you're gonna boil it until it dissolves. But I'm assuming the recipe says granulated sugar instead of, say, confectioner's sugar, because the latter often adds corn starch or potato starch to the sugar as an anti-caking agent, so you might not be getting the correct amount of actual sugar in the solution.
Just to bring an example: when a woman was dragged by a rope on her neck by her boyfriend behind his car, a Bild journalist was convincing a family member to take pictures from the hospital were she was.

Axel Springer is sick and a disgrace to humanity.

I could do without a significant amount of what constitutes "innovation" in the US.
Thats not what they said.

<I wish they’d bar companies that have failed to build out their rural service areas for more than a decade from accepting this money

If your ISP already took millions and didn't do what they said they would last time, that should disqualify them for another grant.

>because they cannot afford to lay dozens of miles of fiber in order to serve a hundred households? You want to keep us country folk in the dark ages? Because that’s what it sounds like.

Sounds like starlink may make more sense for your home and community than fiber. There is obviously a density threshold where laying fiber is not cost effective.
There used to be a widget you could get from the likes of ThinkGeek that would spam the "off" IR signal for lots of tvs and commercial displays. I remember seeing it as a neat trick twenty years ago, but more and more.I wish I really had one. Lots of storefronts have absurdly bright screens on all night now, project moving shit onto the sidewalk and just generally bombard your vision with distraction.

I imagine you can use something like a Flipper to get a similar "put-outer" device nowadays but I haven't come across anyone using it in that way.
Yeah, I'm saying that I've heard that there's some bug that's only hit by running one CCX after you've run the other one.

> Presumably the boot time CCX is selected by selection pins.

There's actually another core, an ARM 7 referred to as the BPMP (Bootstrap and Power Management Processor IIRC), that handles main CCX bring up.
Depends how much the people at the top (money-wise) are playing zero-sum games. If they are, to a large extent, engaging in asset acquisitions and passive growth of eg real estate, or monopolistic protectionism, then there’s plenty of room for others to engage in activities with positive externalities instead.

There’s no question a lot of people don’t get the opportunity to pursue their niche passions and drives, based on a bad birth lottery ticket. There’s a lot of wasted potential in countries that reduce aperture of the early success funnels.
Preservation as it was was not a feasible option for this building...
When I localized my first iOS app (https://watchful.cam), I created some scripts to translate the strings with GPT-4. I also hired professional translators to proofread the translations, but I had to spend hours copying and pasting the strings back into Xcode.

I decided to create an end-to-end solution with a nice user interface, and the result is Local Hero (https://localhero.dev). You can import your strings from Xcode, translate them with GPT-4, and share links for others to edit your translations. For quality control, you can translate the translations back into the source language. When you've finalized your translations, you can easily import them back into Xcode.

The prompts sent to GPT-4 include the comments associated with your strings for context, and you can also provide additional instructions to ensure more accurate translations. For example, you can instruct the language model not to translate your app's brand name.

So far I haven't done much to promote it, and it might just remain mostly for my own use, but if you get a chance to try it out, let me know what you think!
Have you ever told a friend that and them respond with something along the lines of, "You know, I'd never thought of that. I'm just going to go get a job. Thanks!"?

Me neither.
People are working on it but it's just down to how many floating point operations can you do? I wonder if something like the Coral would help?

I'd love having an LLM on a Pi, but I'll have to settle for a larger machine I can turn on to get more compute. At least for the time being.
> What if you had unions or proper labor laws that actually guaranteed this?

Then hiring would be much more expensive, much less new companies would be able to start up, and as a result, salaries in tech would be 2-3 times lower, like in Europe.

What would you choose, a 2-3 times higher salary or a guarantee of things that you would often get anyway?
It's a way to effectively re-allocate losses into the current quarter/year before they are actually realized. For example, if I bought something for a high price and won't sell it until a year later, those losses won't show up until I sell them. I can use impairment to re-value those assets and "realize" those losses right now.

The way this is generally used in practice is that when a company is having a bad year or quarter and knows they are going to report losses, they will tack on a bunch of impairment so that future quarters and years don't look so bad. Having a bad quarter followed by mediocre quarters is much worse than having a very bad quarter followed by good or okay quarters.

It's not entirely nefarious, though. If a company is operating with good fundamentals and finances, you don't want that constantly being hidden by a bad decision or massive loss that really happened years earlier.
That's not how it works, they just need to offer a service tier that provides a service with the required minimums by a particular date, it is obviously possible unless you are blinded by revenge politics.

For those of you not familiar with Jameson Lopp's extensive writing on the topic of email centralization, I recommend reading this post from his blog:

"The death of decentralized email: A historical review of the multi-decade centralization and capture of the email protocol."

Obviously the core content wasn't but the article reads like unfiltered AI output. It doesn't really 'flow' for a lack of a better word.
But if you have a battery, it makes more sense to fill it with low LCOE renewables rather than nuclear. So adding a battery cannot provide much revenue to the nuclear plant.
The key is this is how you get a (typically) non-amortizable asset off the balance sheet and expensed on the income statement when all those synergies and economies of scale promised by the (no longer with the company) executive who pushed the deal don't materialize.
JCDecaux seems to run pretty much every billboard/hoarding/outdoor ad surface in Europe.
OK: Inflation as the % increase of a price compared to a previous period, whereby lower inflation means lower % increase of a price compare to a previous period -- 0% meaning prices have stabilized when compared to a previous period? So we get stuck with high prices, the anecdotal comment in this thread seems to give some color to that idea.

Some useful links from the Fed:

Does Nissan’s CEO have a history of grossly overstating what their system is capable of doing? Tesla has been aggressive about claiming their system can do a lot more, to the point that they charged people for features which never shipped over the time many people owned their vehicles.

If you were a prospective buyer in the past, the autopilot link would take you to a page which very prominently says this:

> Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Cars. All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.

Way down the page, you get this:

> Enhanced Autopilot adds these new capabilities to the Tesla Autopilot driving experience. Your Tesla will match speed to traffic conditions, keep within a lane, automatically change lanes without requiring driver input, transition from one freeway to another, exit the freeway when your destination is near, self-park when near a parking spot and be summoned to and from your garage.

Finally, you get a bit more realistic warning after a bit of misdirection intended to make you think the product was ready but government red tape was delaying availability:

> Tesla’s Enhanced Autopilot software has begun rolling out and features will continue to be introduced as validation is completed, subject to regulatory approval. Every driver is responsible for remaining alert and active when using Autopilot, and must be prepared to take action at any time.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190101050434/https://www.tesla...

Contrast with Nissan’s page which is very clear that it assists you in hands-on driving. There’s nothing on there which sounds like the vehicle can drive itself (e.g. who reads the smart summons description and thinks it can’t reliably stop or identify pedestrians?)
These are numbers for 2022. This year they are supposed to be profitable.
Even in context it is hard to understand this: "The performance wins that these can provide far outweigh the comparatively tiny loss in performance."

My guess is that on average the potential performance discovered with the techniques this enables is higher than the guaranteed negligible performance loss.
that's fantastic. in Manitoba tips are legally the property of the store owner and they do not have to share them at all if they don't want to.
Haha this thread has gotten too deep, but I appreciated your accurate addition with a lol!
But that's a non-cash expense.
"Whether or not we correctly understand the root causes of X, it seems likely that doing Y will clearly reduce it". I can't change your beliefs, but you have to understand how foolish this sounds to me. If you think the sexual revolution causes crime then just say that. I personally think it's ludicrous, but at least do me the decency of stating your conflicting opinion instead of trying to sidestep the point that this op-ed is fluff.
> our industry has developed a norm of generous severance.

I’ve been through this twice in the last two years and let me tell you, this is not the norm. Most companies would pay you only two weeks if it wasn’t for the WARN act.

Most companies are paying 2/3 months based on the local laws. For smaller layoffs where the WARN doesn’t apply, they’re barely providing a month of severance. And yes these are the same tech companies.
Its almost as if being on the precarious end of a precarious system lets down the most vulnerable.
Because transparent Aluminium is totally 20th century?
> you can achieve great things when you don't give a shit about people

I think this is a completely wrong take from the armchair philosophers.

You actually can't do great things when you treat people like shit. The people who actually do great things strike the right balance between applying pressure and requiring excellence and treating people well. The results of purely treating people like slaves is mediocre.

Even the pyramids were built by well paid craftsmen, not slaves as is commonly believed.
How worried should we be about the "AutoSpill" credential leak?
A typical software engineer in Germany earns about €60-80k.
Not a great comparison. It was an _enterprise_ plan with unlimited storage. What kind of enterprise did Google aim their "unlimited" message at if it excludes a small company (an individual journalist) with lots of video footage?

I think the answer is that Google did in fact target companies with exceptionally high storage needs. They were just assuming that everyone who had lots of data would also spend a lot on other services and that didn't pan out.

A better comparison is probably a restaurant promising unlimited coffee refills for life, forgetting to make it conditional on ordering food as well. Then some office worker who never eats breakfast turns up every morning for three double espresso refills.
ASK HN: Is there a self-hosted tool like Sudowrite or Novel.AI?
Have been working with FOOOCUS which does a great job of letting you creating images on a local box with fairly easy prompting and tuning. I'd like to find something similar for writing - where I can give an outline and characters and expect a chapter that actually respects both. SW and Novel.AI come close, but aren't cheap (especially with SW's new credit system), and are hard to train to "write like me". Anything out there?
Wait, there's no option for him to just pay for more data in Google drive month to month until he has time to complete a migration?
Google has this thing of releasing concept videos but communicating them as product demos.

Overselling is not a winning strategy, especially when others are shipping genuinely good products.

Every time Google show off something new the first thing people now ask is what part Google faked (or extreme cherry picking).
> That building was a laughingstock of design when I was a kid, I had family members that worked there.

What did they think about working in that building?

I'll admit it's not the prettiest thing I've seen (and I can appreciate even brutalist buildings) but I don't see what's wrong with it. I imagine there'd be a lot more natural light
That would be lovely, but it depends on how the media presents it (I can see the image of a hooded “hacker” being used and the story being “hackers intrude into trains, face criminal charges, government demands investigation and hardening of DRM to prevent future illegality which poses a risk to the public”), and on how much cash they’re willing to throw at it to crush the hackers with civil and criminal suits.
