At least regarding the homebrew, I disagree completely. While it took a while for the vita to be thoroughly hacked, it has been thoroughly hacked. And the benefits are numerous: Using normal SD cards, expanding the the integrated psp hardware into a virtual psp, reformatting of the internal storage, extending it by replacing the 3G modem.

Meanwhile the switch had the big bootrom usb stack exploit, but everything apart from the original SoC doesn't have a publicly known easy exploit (there are mod chips, but nothing like the 3DS/PS3/Wii U/Vita/PSP/...). There also wasn't that as much "cool" stuff to do as on older consoles with homebrew due to the hardware simply being an android tablet with controllers (which doesn't make a difference as a console, but makes it more boring homebrew wise). So there is the usual stuff (savegames, different controllers, piracy, themes, overclocking), but nothing unique to the switch.
I took a Distributed Systems course at Georgia Tech's OMSCS program this spring, which used a learning framework from the University of Washington: https://github.com/emichael/dslabs

You make a key-value store using multiple techniques, from a basic single-node KV store, to a primary/replica, to PAXOS, to sharded PAXOS (which is essentially what AWS DynamoDB is, minus all of the features they've added since launch).

It's written in modern Java, and the tests that validate your implementation are very thorough.

I learned a ton from this, although I gave up at the last milestone because my grade was satisfactory in the class :)

Alternatively, you could enroll in the OMSCS and take the course yourself. It's only $600 per class at a top-10 school! The application is very easy and they accept anyone who has a reasonable chance of completing the degree. If you have any questions about the program feel free to email me (check my profile) https://omscs.gatech.edu/

Echoing most everyone else about preferring the final covers. A lot of the alternate versions feel very "self-published," especially The Refugee Ocean.

For me, a lot of the unused designs have some issues with scale and balance in the context of a book cover. When sitting on an endcap or on a display table in the airport, the imagery should support the copy in its starring role. Even the iconic Twilight covers, which had strong images, had a very distinct text treatment for the title that helped brand the book series.
This question was not asking about when FSD was going to work but when Enhanced Autopilot would noticeably depart from FSD. No where in there did it say "FSD will be working completely in 6 months".

They did in fact diverge, no where was that a statement that FSD would be complete by then.

It's ironic you are calling him a liar when your response seems to either be completely dishonest itself or you are not aware of the subject at hand.
What does a "new game engine" solve for anyone other than investors? Why not improve on existing technology by adding new features, improving workflow, or enabling users to target new platforms?
I agree with you, I also looked into existing games that provide some level and quest editor and except Bethesda games there is almost nothing. So today if I have an idea and want to experiment I either have to mod Skryim/Falout or use RPG Maker.

I tried to make something in Unity, it is such a waste of time, watching tutorials you see magic like "you import this model from X but notice it looks shit, that is because you need to go in this menus here and tick this checkbox here". Or I had the issue where I tried to make a character run, the C# code worked fine it moved the character around as I pressed the keys, but the run animation did not played even if I done all the steps correctly and the animation was 100% working, there was no fcking error,warning or hint on what is going wrong - just a waste of time for a solo person to try create a small thing (I do not want to sell any game so I am not a threat for the pro devs and I had not intention to put it on Steam either so please don't send me hate comments)
The majority of the efficiency gains in this concept come from max power requirements, rather than energy recovery. Aircraft engines' max power requirements come from take-off performance requirements. The electric engine-portion provides sufficient power at takeoff / climb-out to allow the gas powered portion to be more optimally designed for cruise conditions. This providing net savings overall. This isn't well explained in the article, but has been batted around the aviation industry and aerospace academic world for a while.
Ah, I didn't see this "Skip and try free for 7 days only".

Ahh the classic SaaS founder marketing :), putting forward product experience negatives and hiding the product positives. I was kind of annoyed because there was promise of "Try it free" on homepage and then it required me to input my credit card.

I wouldn't buy even the next revolutionary ChatGPT without trying it a first so I just closed it and commented here. And as a general rule I don't give anyone my credit card unless I plan to buy it, that's just such a dark pattern. I am a Marketer, not a Product guy, but still, big nope on this. If my intent is to try, don't push me into buying with underhanded tactics (aka, let's hope the guy forgets he's in trial and gets charged at least for a month before he remembers to cancel it). This just doesn't match the stage in the journey at all.

Basically I was checking it out on laptop and I didn't see the option to continue without inputting credit card, either because it was in the bottom or because of the nearly invisible color.

Yea, I just wouldn't do this at all. Remove credit card requirement completely, you're in a highly mature market with a todo list app. There's nothing special about another to-do app, in mature enviroment, you should encourage users to try your app fast. If it was me, id remove the homepage video and embed a demo of the live app there. Then you can keep asking for credit card.

Or like you said, start without the extra step of credit card altogether, then give option to add it for another 30 days, although, i am not sure if this isnt overcomplicated for no reason. Might as well just give 14 days without credit card and then ask for payment.

Personally I think best case is what todoist does, free "crippled" version with max 5 projects, and you need to pay for unlimited. You can use it free, but its annyoing, there are also more limits, and you basically get going with the tool and only get to face the question of payment when youre starting to depend on it, at that point youre like whatever, i need to solve something here so, buy. In your case you could have 2-3 root items for free, and want more? pay.
When my country was tendering for new fighter jets a few years ago there were a lot of ads on various social media. Since random civilians like yours truly seldom impulse buy $100M latest generation fighter jets, I presume the goal was to influence public opinion and politicians to lean on the actual procurement organization that was responsible for arriving at a recommendation for the next generation jet. Still, it all seemed pretty far fetched, or maybe the vendors just had a poor understanding of how such procurement programs are run in my country.
It's a problem with so many startups.

Some arrogant observer sees an industry from the outside, makes assumptions about it, maybe catches a good wave due to investor money, then unsurprisingly flounders, because they didn't approach the problem as an insider with skin in the game, tackling a known problem with known customers. No, they did it as an outsider, with no tangible knowledge of the problem or the industry. And they're arrogant because among the assumptions they've made is that the incumbents are stupid. Especially if it's agriculture, "Oh I can do this so much better than those dumb hicks fooling around in the dirt."

Reality sends these failed entrepreneurs home with a bruised ego, and hopefully newfound humility.
Many people "in their right minds" _will_ fire someone simply because of one visible mistake. I criticized the comment because it endorsed such behavior.

If you want to research the fraction of people that would, please let me know what you find. Do you think the uncertainty in that fraction would change my decision to respond to the words on the page? When someone tells you what they think, it isn't crazy to believe them.
Google sends multiple emails that are extremely clear about what is going to happen. If you ignore the emails or notifications, that is your fault, not on the service.

Like I mentioned above, even the Google podcast service is giving users over a year to prepare for the shutdown, and provides a method to transfer any data you have out of the app. If they take much precaution with a podcast app that few people even use, I guarantee they sent multiple emails to this person urging them to prepare for this.

If you don't check your email or just ignore it, that is not the service providers fault. Expecting a free service to bend over backwards for you even when they told you repeatedly to prepare for this is silly.

>I can't believe we all fell for it.

You fell for clickbait and exaggerated or fabricated stories from someone who either ignored their mail or waited til last minute and are now whining.

I can't answer that, but I think governments should use standard office buildings like everyone else. No need to spend extra money on appearances.

In many cases they do. The local IRS office, Social Security office, state governent offices etc. are located here in standard office park type buildings. It's fine.

The city offices on the other hand are in some historic rehabbed 19th century space that was expensive to refit as it was never meant to be an office building, it's terrible from a heating/cooling efficiency standpoint because it wasn't built with that in mind, it has a much larger footprint than necessary because it's a two-story, sprawling complex, and it's on land that would otherwise be very valuable for other business or residential properties, so there is a tremendous opportunity cost in terms of property tax that could be collected from that location. But it looks nice.
I rsync my files to a local drive and FTP it to something remote, so no need for this. But I gotta say, that's a beautiful website!
Anecdotally I've found ctranslate2 to be even faster than insanely-fast-whisper. On an L4, using ctranslate2 with a batch size as low as 4 beats all their benchmarks except the A100 with flash attention 2.

It's a shame faster-whisper never landed batch mode, as I think that's preventing folks from trying ctranslate2 more easily.
The models are memory mapped from disk so the kernel handles reading them into memory. As long as there's nothing else requesting that RAM, those pages remain cached in memory between invocations of the command. On my 128 GB workstation, I can use several different 7B models on CPU and they all remain cached.
AI assisted procedural tools will just open the floodgates for even more shovelware. Creating good games will still remain a challenging human endeavour.
I just checked my company's account. Third Party AI-Integrations were defaulted to "On" despite our company having a paid personal account.

My free personal account (still for work) does not have any active third party integration.

If you want to work on a AAA level product (or even a AA product nowadays), that's increasingly becoming out of reach with a small team. Some people want to work on games that millions of people will play and enjoy. I know a guy who made and released a few small games on his own (I helped with one of them) and they sold like 1000 copies at most, but he maintains a day job in the industry for the past 12 years and is currently a senior engineer at Epic Games working on AAA titles.

Meanwhile I'm working on a small game in my spare time this past couple of years and I'm worried I might not break 1000 copies with its release either (not the prettiest game and a bit of a niche genre, but I'm on my own in my spare time). But at least I have a fairly well paying day webdev job so I'm not screwed if it doesn't do well.
Permission Slip makes protecting your data as easy as using Tinder
rsync ... to where? You need to rent a server first. And to do that you need a credit card. And if you die, said credit card gets canceled, as is your server, as is all your data. Happened to me with a paid Dropbox account - card expired, all data lost. A free Dropbox account has an advantage that it is good for eternity (well, not a guarantee, but a reasonable assumption). Also good for privacy.

I do rsync too (robocopy, to be exact), and I prepaid the server for 2 years, but still, dropbox plays an important role in ensuring longevity of my data.
Plenty of toxic bitterness for sure, but there is signal in the noise and unless you personally know people in China who are free thinking and also consider you close enough that they would tell you things that can incriminate them this may be the only source of that signal...

You don't need anti-trust violations to make this a problem. Well-funded companies can always undercut competitors at least for a while.

The cure is to be able to survive at low[er] gross margins. Many VC-backed companies need monopoly rents to achieve return on investment.
Modern cars are of such high quality that they are largely commodity, even moreso with the switch to electric drivetrains. Margins on the hardware will continue to decrease, and automakers will be desperate to recoup revenue through digital and subscription services. The problem is that traditional automakers are way out of their league. GM has a lot more in common with Foxconn than it does Apple or Google.
The M2 Ultra that got the best numbers that I was comparing to is not in a laptop. Regardless, you're probably right that the power consumption is significantly lower per unit time. However, is it lower per unit work done? It would be interesting to see a benchmark optimized for power. Nvidia's power consumption can usually be significantly reduced without much performance cost.

Also, the price difference between a prebuilt 4090 PC and a M2 Ultra Mac Studio can buy a lot of kilowatt hours.
Sigh. Yes. Valid. I'll go edit it a bit.
Shoot the hostage.
Tangent: a few months ago there was a huge bonfire party at the beach in my town (Duxbury, MA), and my friends and I were treated to the trifecta of the conflagration plus a gorgeous blood moon rise, capped off by a starlink satellite train passing directly overhead. It was unforgettable.
This is the part I don't like

> if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files

Lots of sites have images. When exactly can I start to expect paying? Will this unspoken limit change in the future? Will I be notified when it is? As-written, it doesn't seem that way since it's opaque.
Engines being a viable business is kind of questionable in 2024 and on. There are lots of free or very inexpensive options already out there with incredible documentation, tooling and asset store components available, so any new startup has to compete with those on cost and capability simultaneously.

If your goal is to build a viable business instead of just scam your investors, you probably either have to try and compete with Roblox by creating an ecosystem where you siphon revenue off of your customers and their customers simultaneously, or sell actual product (sort of like how Epic bankrolls their stuff using revenue from their games) alongside tools.

> Are you personally willing to work for 1/2 or 1/3 the pay you receive, so that if you ever get laid off you have a slightly better severance package?

That's a false dilemma. It's not like you would have to give up half your salary for this.

> and live in a country with so many opportunities

That's only because you're a SE. The rest of your country doesn't have those opportunities. I think rather most of them would have preferred the social security net of most European countries instead of working for less than minimum wage begging for tips, being laid of on a moments notice.

I mean, how's SV with all the homeless, robberies etc.? Is that kind of society worth the slightly larger pay? Isn't it nice if your neighbors also have it good?
I already use containers for all my current AI stuff, so I don't really need the llamafile part. The question was more about alternatives, because on the surface, it looks to have a lot of overlap with containers. The main difference I've seen is that llamafiles are easier if you do not already use containers or are on a platform where containers come with a lot of overhead and limitations
> But if you are stuck at a light or in a massive traffic I'd rather you look at them than your phone.

Billboards don't only appear when traffic is stopped though. It's not worth the increased danger.

Also, I really don't think the presence of billboards is a common deciding factor in whether or not someone is looking at their phone. Maybe if they're driving in an otherwise featureless void, but I think people are either going to look at their phone or not, regardless of what's outside their car.

I think a bigger factor is the job market. Where's an aspiring rocket scientist going to go if they don't get a job for SpaceX? Or an electric car designer (back when Tesla started at least)?

There just weren't really many other places for people who wanted to work on those cool problems to go to work. So Musk had the leverage to push them really hard.

But software? Not so much! Programmers can work pretty much anywhere. Even for a cool project like driverless cars there's quite a lot of companies trying to do it. And how many of the driverless car programmers specifically want to work on driverless cars? They'd probably be cool with other AI projects, of which there are a gazillion.
Actually, this is indicative of the SV mindset where "biggest wins". I hope that's not the case for many businesses, and there are plenty where "successful" means having sustainable income growth, and "win" means "being the obvious choice in your niche".
The calculation above assumes all satellites are available to provide bandwidth to the customers. That means essentially the 260 satellites need to be above the US (let's ignore that the visible horizon is different across the US). Now starlink are LEO, so 260 essentially we need to divide the 260 by the fraction the globe area the US is.

The 260 is a significant underestimate. It's likely 4-10x more

Deliberate innovation is absolutely possible, I don't know why you would claim it's not.
No, some risks are known to exist, other just might exist. If you walk across a busy street without looking, there is a risk of being run over - nothing hypothetical about that risk. In contrast, I might fear the force gravity suddenly disappearing but that isn't an actual risk as far as we understand our reality.

Not sure where infinite economic upside comes from, how does that work?

OP here.

Wow, this is cool. I never thought that this Ask HN of mine would result in so many replies by people talking about the apps they have created. It was fun and inspiring reading many of them, so far, after I checked back on the post today evening. I was quite surprised.

Anyway, it only goes to show that there is a lot of hidden innovation happening out there in the world. Great to know.

I'll now have to spend a bit or byte :) of time over several days at least, ha ha, checking out more of the comments, and the apps mentioned, for those that have links.

Nice way to spend some of the year-end partial down time :)

So once again, thanks, guys, for talking about what you built.
Honestly, I have no idea how other countries' banks make loan decisions. But I wouldn't be surprised if "after some abracadabra" involves reviewing some kind of centralized credit history.
Until you realize most people stay less then a year and most of that money goes to taxes and rent if working in person.

Cults and FAANGs offer a similiar vision of a rosey future that will not come to pass for the average person.
Given how much of the decision is blacked out, it's hard to give it any credibility, either.
