> Thinking that people you perceive as "privileged" can't comprehend you is a choice too and a form of ignorance.

In my experience they can't, and I do have experience in this.

In one example, a few years ago I worked with some extremely rich people. I mean, exceedingly rich. Once kept negotiating on everything, even if it was to only save a few pounds. I asked for a little cash advance (£180) to allow me to do some work for them (I was very skint then). The guy said he would give it to me - provided I committed to working for them for six months.

Well, nice try but I had my pride so it was a No anyway.

It was not done in any way nastily, to him it was a game and he didn't mean to hurt me, but he literally had no idea of how things could be to other people. He had never in his life had to live off loss-leader baked beans and bread. I've a fair number of rich people and they can't understand the struggle it can be for others. This is first hand experience and multiple data points.

Edit: the ££ involved corrected
Their goals are only 100/20mbps? I'd say that part is embarrassing. Given the amount of money involved, I'd have expected them to push for higher than that.
> In reality, the safest bet is to only stand out _a little bit_ while still fitting in the aesthetic of successful books in the genre. Because genre fiction readers know what they like, and they'll look for covers that look like what they'll like.

I would expect more that genre fiction readers will be browsing the section where all of the books are in their genre, and the cover will completely fail to carry any further information about the genre.

There's a semi-recent trend in fantasy novels for the cover to have an abstract image instead of art. (Compare: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/MEDIAX_792452-T2/images/... for a "modern" cover, or https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/MEDIAX_792452-T2/images/... for a "traditional" cover.) Art is better.

You're better off with a cover that appeals to the reader, not a cover that looks like the cover on other similar books whose covers were chosen for reasons other than reader appeal.
Probably run a functioning economy so that people can earn money at a rate faster than inflation? There’s more than one way to get fed.

The UK economy has been one of the worst performers in developed economies since COVID.
Mostly because you have to bring people to those places and upgrade the infrastructure to support them there. Do the math yourself if you're unconvinced.

People in cheaper locations also fight back! Why is that location cheap and why do those people live there? Precisely because the density is so low and the community likes it the way it is. An influx of recently homeless people would be a huge disruption and no one would be happy with the change. Would you want to manage that situation? THINK!
ok, so that still cuts down the amount of launches by 4x which takes them from 1055 launches to 260 launches. Over 2 years that would require doubling Starlink's launch cadence which is a lot, but does seem plausible.
Good point. I have never considered this argument before, but I agree. In a healthy case, the sphere of responsibility (of a company, individual) should approximately match their sphere influence. And with a sphere of influence this large, this goes far beyond the "contract" between individual parties only.

In some cases this kind of relationship auto-regulates itself (e.g., taking a small vs large credit in a bank): at larger scale, both parties are invested into maintaining a good relationship. The problem in this case is, any individual investment into any relationship with Google is just a drop in the ocean.
Same. Great game!
Let me be the first to object to the "rote" classification. Design systems are hard in a way that good design is hard. For the folks in the comments (and in the article) comparing UI libs to design systems, they are completely different.

EDIT: Evidently, the person writing the article seems to have a very cursory understanding of design systems & component libraries. Maybe better left as a tweet than a full article IMO.
not all problems in leetcode style interviews are "simple" and most of them cannot be solved in a few minutes (which is the time you have).

these interviews are being used by employers to discriminate people however they want. they can just say you didn't do the coding interview well enough while what they are really thinking is, don't want someone from europe, too old, don't want a female, don't want a black guy etc.

also, people go to university and get a CS degree exactly to not have to go through this bullshit. and in the US, people pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt for their degrees. people who manage to graduate in a good CS program can pick up any language or toolkit in a week or two max.

lastly there is no correlation between the work you actually end up doing on the job and the coding interviews.
Would you mind sharing how (in broad terms) your key got leaked? I'm always interested in stories like that as a point of comparison to my own (not great) security practices just so I know how reasonable I'm being.
Perhaps. But what I described benefits the institutions as well, no?
Kotlin is used in many places where Java is or could be used. Some teams prefer Kotlin over Java for new Spring or Quarkus or Vert.x or Micronaut projects. Kotlin is relevant everywhere outside Google’s realm, too.

I’m unaware of that backtracking you’re mentioning, could you give some context?

How do you measure it lagging behind in the browser? According to Krause’s benchmarks Blazor’s WASM performance is steadily in the bottom 5% of tested frameworks, and devs generally tend to express that Blazor is suitable only for internal enterprise apps where the end users are lenient enough to accept such performance.

The limited GC in the initial Native implementation was reworked long time ago.[1]

neat idea. i clicked on the link expecting to be able to do this as a consumer. my bet is most people seeing this on HN are consumers and not producers. would be cool to do this with a spotify user's listening history etc. tbh i don't really see the musicians i know being interested in this.
Hide a GPS spoofer (illegal) at a central train station to make all trains believe they are at the forbidden workshop location and make them brick themselves? Could it be that easy?
Google is wrong for ever offering unlimited storage. However if everybody is charging $20,000+ per year and Google is charging $1000, you gotta know that you’re living on borrowed time. Even backblaze, with their low margins and commodity hard drives charges $18k.

The concept of counterparty risk strikes again.
Why would it be much cheaper? The chips are intentionally clocked higher than the most efficient point because the point of the CPU is raw speed, not power consumption, especially since 7950x is a desktop chip.

His point is that M-CPUs being somewhat competitive but much more efficient is not as stunning since you're comparing a CPU tuned to be at the most efficient speed to a CPU tuned to be at the highest speed.

Similarly a 4090's power consumption drops dramatically if you underclock or undervolt even slightly, but what's the point? You're almost definitely buying a 4090 for its raw speed.
When you're a public figure, you hopefully do not have those issues. Any isolation or ignorance is a choice you're making. The author is very obviously not talking about people who are in a cult, or even the average person on Facebook.

They are talking about public figures lecturing poor people on how they should behave.
Aren't too cautious you mean? Because I've just seen how they treat their prisoners and had Flashback of ISIS.

My opinion listening to Ukrainian civilians and Palestinian civilians, the difference is that at least Russians don't claim to be 'moral' or 'careful', while cheering while an empty UN school explode.
This is additionally odd because according to Wikipedia, citing the Technical manual (wherever you can find that), the A53 cores were so borked that later versions of the manual removed all references of their existence. The Tegra X1+ shipping in all Switches since 2018-2019 might, possibly, not even have the cores.

The current reality is that Google has taken over the Web for all practical purposes, with Safari as last bastion.

Which will end the day Apple is forced to allow Chrome on iOS.
Also, this is not comparing against an optimized Nvidia implementation. There are faster implementations of Whisper.

Edit: OK I took the bait. I downloaded the 10 minute file he used and ran it on my 4090 with insanely-fast-whisper, which took two commands to install. Using whisper-large-v3 the file is transcribed in less than eight seconds. Fifteen seconds if you include the model loading time before transcription starts (obviously this extra time does not depend on the length of the audio file).

That makes the 4090 somewhere between 6 and 12 times faster than Apple's best. It's also much cheaper than M2 Ultra if you already have a gaming PC to put it in, and still cheaper even if you buy a whole prebuilt PC with it.

This should not be surprising to people, but I see a lot of wishful thinking here from people who own high end Macs and want to believe they are good at everything. Yes, Apple's M-series chips are very impressive and the large RAM is great, but they are not competitive with Nvidia at the high end for ML.
It's good to be humbled.
> We’re simpler than we imagine.

Indeed, creativity (not just randomness) is a quite high bar, that I think even most humans don't pass. Most of us don't create a lot of new things and ideas in our daily lives. We mostly follow the steps of those that came before them, with small adjustments here and there.

Because young people have robust immune systems and old people don’t. This makes young people have dramatically worse outcomes to anything suppressing their immune systems. Old people’s immune systems are already compromised. Hence, the results of immunosuppression will be much worse for younger adults.
I've really enjoyed this macOS Whisper GUI[1]. It doesn't use MLX, but does use Metal.

This is true, but the thing is, you don't have to follow the recipe. When I made a batch of this, I just bought the 7x concentrate from Cuba-Cola (https://cube-cola.org/index.php?route=product/category&path=...) and then added like half the amount of sugar it called for when making the concentrate, so that it was more like a 1:1 sugar:water ratio ("simple syrup") rather than a 2:1 ("rich syrup"). It didn't taste as sweet as commercial Coke, but it tasted fine.
There are multiple possible causes, but one is a phenomenon known as genetic mosaicism. That is when an organism is made up of multiple distinct genetic lineages, in species where this isn't typical. It can occur from things like twins merging in the womb, or from a stem cell in the embryo mutating and all its descendants being a little different. In humans (or birds) it often shows up in stripes (related to the basic developmental segments of the vertebrate animals) or indeed, bilateral. For a rather visible example: it is sometimes the cause of heterochromatic (different colour) eyes.
If you find that bewildering, maybe it's a generational thing. I've been driving for around 35 years, and I never really found it too hard going from one car to another before the LCD era.

At this point, I'm trying to avoid buying a new car, because I don't want a car where I have to put a key in a faraday cage, etc. I don't want to use my phone to unlock my car. To me, these "modern conveniences" have gone so far out of control that they're an inconvenience, and sometimes even dangerous.
Model Y here. My automatic wipers are mostly okay except sometimes they seem to get obsessed with a tiny speck of bird crap they can't remove. High beam/low beam is a complete cluster f*ck: It gets fooled by highly-reflective road signs. So I adjust headlights manually, just like I have done over my entire driving career.

The phantom braking is the biggest deal: The car slams on the brakes in the middle of major highways in good weather just because it's a hot day and the camera saw a mirage and the car thinks it's about to drive off a cliff. This means the cruise control ("autopilot") on the car isn't even as reliable as "dumb" cruise control on a 20-year-old car, so I rarely use it.

Yeah, but how long was the Nintendo Switch in development? And bear in mind that we're comparing it to a much simpler bit of Nvidia electronics.

It is entirely possible that it was just price based and they didn't care about the chip bug, but given the timings I still think they would have selected the chip before it was complete and in consumer products.
Awesome work. Love your clean design and copy. Unwind has one of the best App Clip experiences I’ve seen.

The Google drive unlimited policy has been predictably abused by some of the datahoarding and piracy communities. Those groups have been paranoid for[1] a[2] while[3] that this could and was likely to go away, including tracking changes in the way Google marketed this to users.

People with pirated movie collections took this risk more seriously than a guy whose livelihood appears to be inexorably linked with the policy.

That's weird, I've had a Model 3 since 2018 and it definitely used to have some issues with phantom braking, but for the last ~year it seems to be totally fixed (at least for highway driving, still sometimes gets confused on surface roads). Even in the past though I never had anything close to what you're describing where the car slams on the brakes every 10 minutes in good conditions.

Are you running an old software version? You might try bringing it in for service because what you're describing definitely doesn't seem right.
From Simington’s dissenting statement:

> I was disappointed by this wrongheaded decision when it was first announced, but the majority today lays bare just how thoroughly and lawlessly arbitrary it was. If this is what passes for due process and the rule of law at the FCC, then this agency ought not to be trusted with the adjudicatory powers Congress has granted it and the deference that the courts have given it.

Sounds to me like he’s encouraging SpaceX to sue the FCC
Indeed. Fiber as a last mile solution for true rural areas is a non-starter. Source: I also built a small WISP and still maintain my own microwave service, and use Starlink as a backup.

Can anybody recommend a good solution for automated synching of photos and files between my Google Drive and my Pi NAS? Something that makes mirroring a deletion possible but not accidental, so that if the Drive loses data it won't get mirrored to my NAS?

Is rclone and rsync the way to go?
I think the bigger issue here is that 237.22TB is not trivial, yet, it is still a gargantuan task to actually get a hold of a human being at Google.
That's the point of the subsidy: to make the equivalent of fiber runs to rural areas (and presumably local WISPs) cost-effective. The main intent of the subsidy was not to subsidize the development of new, uncertain technologies.

Musk still managed to slide in and loot a few billion dollars before they realized that Starlink can't meet their definition of "broadband." No other satellite internet could either.
"Correct. 7 days is not enough time to stream >200TB of data, let alone find a place to stream it to. This puts a human being in a crisis position."

Agreed that this is a crisis but it is not impossible.

You can use 'rclone' - running on your own system or hosted elsewhere - to move data between cloud providers.

You don't rely on your own bandwidth - they talk directly to one another:

rclone gdrive:blah s3:some/bucket/whatever

... and if you don't want to bother even installing rclone, you can run it somewhere it is already installed:

ssh user@rsync.net rclone gdrive:blah s3:some/bucket/whatever

Which means ... for either the price of (zero) or (minimum rsync.net) you can move that data at (whatever speeds google <--> aws are capable of).

I am, admittedly, hand-waving away the actual configuration of those "remotes" as they are called, which involve your login and/or API keys, etc. - here is an example of what that config might look like:

> I want my daughter to be happy, not successful. I want my daughter to have critical thinking, not to behave.

I hope my daughters are happy, but I'll settle for "fulfilled". There's too many people in this world who don't get to pursue "happiness" due to the obligations required for survival. Fulfillment, from my experience, is the purpose of life.
This is a very biased reading of things.

"Tesla recall: nothing actually broken"

"Other manufacturer recalls: wheels falling off"

If I look at the recalls for my cars, they're far more mundane. "A passenger detection module may not detect a passenger. The vehicle will automatically deploy air bags in that seat position". "The passenger side camera may get foggy in cold weather".

And I don't think throwing shade at Toyota there helps a lot. Perhaps remember that Tesla has shipped vehicles with missing brake pads, unglued windshields, etc.
He might actually have 5 people on his team. Adding 100+ more just for the 2TB each would almost certainly get his account flagged for suspicious activity.
You could say the same about the post above it.

The real benefit here is

1. It's much cheaper and faster to train a bunch of specialized models once you have a single good LLM

2. You probably can't get the same capabilities from a specialized model by training it directly.
Isn't this because they're using a middleman as an ad network, so the data goes to the middleman, and then it goes to 172 companies that interact with that middleman?

Imagine if a TV channel listed to you every company that paid to show an ad that whole day. I guess it would end up being quite a high number as well.
We can't choose how other people behave. We can choose how we react to their behavior.
From what I understand, Google has a unusually large number of engineers who are happy to coast, and would actively avoid taking on anything important. That seems more of an issue to me compared to middle management bloat.
It's absolutely worth engaging in wild speculation, yes! The trouble is when some people start to forget that it's wild speculation and begin to treat it as if it has actual predictive value.

Yeah, a very interesting piece of cognitive dissonance is when people are all "a person's behavior is a product of their environment, which they can't be held fully responsible for" until the person in question holds views or engages in behavior that we want to hold them personally accountable for.

I know neither the "product of environment" or "personal responsibility" view is absolute with anyone, but I've noticed that different people draw the line in widely different places.
I love that idea! It really grounds the idea in a useful metric.
> AP should be renamed to "vision lane assist", or something along those lines.

In aviation, all autopilot does is keep your plane going in a straight line at the same speed. So the use of autopilot to describe auto-cruise, lane keep assist (not just going in a straight line, but keeping inside the lane and slowing down when other cars slow down in front of you), well, an aviation autopilot doesn't go that far, so it sounds like underselling rather than overselling to me.

If Tesla is outlawed from using the term auto pilot to describe their feature, it would force the aviation industry to stop using the term as well, so I don't think the NSTB will go there, even if there are public misconceptions that auto pilot is somehow equivalent to full self driving/flying.
