Thank you.

Most HN posts are early-stage, where things are unfinished and mistakes happen, and are posted by the founder / creator for feedback (in part to catch those; we all have a blind spot with our own products!), so I wouldn't worry about it. At least with my community, such posts don't impact your reputation at all. General mantra is to share early precisely to catch those things, and it's important before adopting a tool, but unless things are secretive, it's best to share version 0.1 for feedback rather than to wait for something finished and polished.

My advice is to take what you wrote above, write it in enforceable legal language, and post it on your web site. It will go a long ways to driving adoption.

Once you add team and enterprise features, post similarly strong language about privacy and security. If I am managing regulated data in my day job (which I am), there had better be darned tight guarantees that FERPA/HIPPA/attorney-client/classified/etc. data doesn't end up sold to the highest bidder when your business goes under, gets bought by IBM, repackaged and sold to Oath, and finally resold to the Russian mafia.

Footnote: I would likely pay for the right enterprise features, especially around collaboration. On the other hand, with progress in LLMs, AI features can very much run locally on a $350 Arc 770 16GB GPU. The newer 7B models are very competitive with ChatGPT!

> It's comparable on a core to core basis with the first AWS Graviton server chip that was deployed in 2019, only four years ago

you do released that this is not an apple to apple comparison, don't you?

First gen Graviton was created specifically for ec2's A1 instances where performance is not the goal. Amazon designed the chip with a well defined & targeted market in mind, they delivered just that. Tell me which half decent org is going to use this 64 cores junk?

You also realize that Graviton can afford to go from a relatively slow gen1 to the current gen4 in just 4-5 years largely due to the fact that they licensed the cores from ARM which has been building this whole ARM stuff for 30 years. Tell me what makes you to believe that some random & unknown newcomers can duplicate such progress without paying all those extremely expensive & time consuming efforts?

The concerned core is built by a group known for selling fake stuff online, historically and statistically, those people don't build the next gen tech.

> except this has 64 cores while the Graviton has 16.

gluing together more highly inefficient cores is not rocket science.
I get a 404 for that page and the domain in general.
LLM360 – transparent LLMs with intermediate checkpoints and data buckets
That's where I ended up. My Instinct has replaced my mechanical watches for every occasion except for the most formal. The app is decent, the metrics are awesome, and the accessories work without fuss (I pair mine with the Heart Rate strap when doing kettlebell stuff). I love my other watches and still have one or two I will eventually convince myself to buy, but the Garmin Instinct 2 has been on my wrist for 90% of the last year.
The Eternal Jukebox: For when your favorite song just isn't long enough
That hasn’t actually been a goal for 50 years. That was a “maybe if this is really successful we’ll do it” vision in the early days of BART planning.

Extend to downtown San Jose? Maybe a goal for 20 years from now. Add additional transbay tubes? Sure, if the tooth fairy pays for it. The electorate emphatically does not want to pay for more BART, much as I’d like it to be otherwise.
To lobby. It means they are worried.
Google: 25 Years in Search (2023)
"Ancient" coffee roasting was probably very uneven. The beans were often just roasted in a skillet over a fire, not unlike toasting pine nuts. If you've ever tried toasting pine nuts on a stove, you've gotta be very careful with the heat control and keep the nuts moving frequently, or else you'll have some that are still blonde and some that are bordering on burnt.
Bringing Dynamism to European Defense: a new report
Not LLMs, but locally running facial and object recognition models on your phone's gallery, to build up a database for face/object search in the gallery app? I'm half-convinced this is how Samsung does it, but I can't really be sure of much, because all the photo AI stuff works weirdly and in unobservable way, probably because of some EU ruling.

(That one is a curious case. I once spent some time trying to figure out why no major photo app seems to support manually tagging faces, which is a mind-dumbingly obvious feature to support, and which was something supported by software a decade or so ago. I couldn't find anything definitive; there's this eerie conspiracy of silence on the topic, that made me doubt my own sanity at times. Eventually, I dug up hints that some EU ruling/regs related to facial recognition led everyone to remove or geolock this feature. Still nothing specific, though.)
There should be several ways to optimize around this without needing new instructions. Choosing different calling conventions for some functions (e.g. PreserveMost in llvm), amortizing the cost over multiple loops by inlining harder, using other hands instead if the register pressure inside the loop is low, ...
Backup If OpenAI Fails
Hi ! We are implementing a bot using chatgpt for my company but we have some concerns about downtime failures. Do you have some backup solutions that could be implemented in prod in case of failures ? Knowing that the model is kind of finetuned because we are doing information retriavial using embeddings (created with gpt 3.5)
If you grew up post USSR era it has probably fallen out of the lexicon for younger folk…
Interesting! My vague recollection (as a kid at the time) was that the 3DO really did deliver some impressive stuff but just at a very high price. Of course by the time the Playstation was released it was game over for 3do (and Atari, and Sega).

They discuss in the article that the key thing is for the next Fibonacci number to not overflow, so you need f(n+1) < b hence b > φ^{n+1}/√5.

So to calculate the best base for the n'th Fibonacci number, compute the (n+1)th Fibonacci number and then add one to that, should do the trick. (Whoops, stack is overflowing, whyyyyyy)

I'm assuming that if 2^n doesn't work it's only because you get a wrong result for n=0? Then 1+2^n should beat both of these. And the issue there seems to be unrelated to precision, it is just that the denominator 1 – b^-1 – b^-2 < 0, which requires b > phi at all times, but in that case I am surprised that 3^n works at n=0. But, if you want to stay above phi, maybe b := 1 + 13*n // 8*n wastes a bit less memory.
It sounds like you might be wanting something for GPU batch job management. Some things to check out would be gpu orchestration tools, specifically: Slurm, Run.ai, and Skypilot.

I agree, and I want to reiterate that I wasn't talking about you specifically, just that people should be careful of the halo effect.

I also do agree that to speculate is useful when it's so early on. , and I agree with your original answer as well.
Is $0.2-0.4/kWh a good estimate for price paid in a data center? That’s pretty expensive for energy, and I think vPPA prices at big data centers are much lower (I think 0.1 is a decent upper bound in the US, though I could see EU being more expensive by 2x).
I agree. LPDDR that no longer has to be soldered onto the motherboard is a great step forward for flexible memory options in laptops.
Is there an API for lowest-common-news-link, i.e., source?

If not, there really should be. I would be a customer.
Thanks for that filter. I was trying to make one on my own, but couldn't quickly figure out the documentation. How did you learn making these?
> Another option is to import it into your Apple Music library, f/k/a iTunes library.

...That's syncing. It's the absolutely normal way to get music onto your iPhone. I can't see any reasonable way to call that "manually copying".
In my eyes, "good software" does not necessarily just mean something that accomplishes its goals. You can set a goal of being bad, and that's kind of what CPython is doing.

Of course, "good" and "bad" are relative. If you don't care about performance then there's nothing wrong with CPython.
In the social “sciences”, problem 1, 2 and 3 is that there is no way to measure any of the properties they want to test.

Yet, society wants to pretend like we can.
For what it's worth, when the answers are "we are working on a solution" and "we are working on making sure this lands", to me, that is classical business speak for "we are not going to add it, but will present an alternative (that probably doesn't meet your needs the way it did)."

I'm leaning toward giving the benefit of the doubt in this case, but why be oblique like this? Why not say "We are working on adding RSS" or "we are aiming to restore RSS support"?
I haven’t looked at the structure carefully, but It’s hard to guess there are shared layers between models. Likely the input layers for sure, since there is no need to tokenize separately for each model (unless different models have specialized vocabulary).
Yeah, one thing I've noticed myself do is that when I'm focused on something else and someone suddenly gets my attention I'll replay the last few seconds of the conversation in my head to get context on what was being talked about before I respond. That seems pretty trivial to do with a LLM; it doesn't need to be using 100% of its "brainpower" at all times.
Or maybe we'll finally get better batteries!

Though I guess that's not for lack of trying.
I agree about training time, but bear in mind LLMs like GPT4 and Mistral also have noisy recall of vastly more written knowledge than any human can read in their lifetime, and this is one of the features people like about LLMs.

You can't replace those types of LLM with a human, the same way you can't replace Google Search (or GitHub Search) with a human.

Acquiring and preparing that data may end up being the most expensive part.
Actually, I thought that was the weirdest part. Those "branches" that came out first seemed to play no real part in the plant. Everything else came up from the middle between these, and the original tendrils just kind of hung around looking different to the rest of the tree. I wasn't sure if they're supposed to end up going back into the soil as roots, as I've never noticed the bottom branches on pine trees being different to the rest, and it looked like they might have been trying to be roots towards the end, but if so they still weren't very deep at the 300 day mark.

I believe I recently built something to do exactly what you're describing for HTML, though it's C++ (but maybe a useful basis for a rust version - I don't know).

For me it's the opposite. Notifications and payments are my main benefit. I would never wear a watch that shows only the time (hence I never wore one since the late 90s until mid 2010s). Sleep tracking with SpO2 is a big thing for me too though.

I think mechanical watches are much more about being jewellery than function, even though it's impressive engineering. But I'm not a very flashy guy (I don't even own any shirts that fit anymore, just T-shirts lol) so I don't really care.

But it's good to see everyone can get what they like. I'm personally really happy with how far smartwatches have come.
Librela gave us another year with our old girl and allowed to her to walk again. It was absolutely life-altering for her and we're forever greatful for the extra time we had with her because of it. Some are saying it's not a miracle drug but honestly, a monthly injection that gave us back our girl for a year is 100% a miracle to me.
I'm not an educator or a pundit and won't express any personal opinion on what the purpose of primary math education should be, but as far as I can tell, the purpose as it stands in both K-12 and college undergraduate education if you're not a math major is not to teach math. It's to teach analytic and computational techniques necessary for research and practice in business, finance, economics, sciences, and engineering. They're not trying to get you to understand what a continuous function is or why it matters. They're trying to teach you just enough about how to compute compound interest that getting an amortization schedule out of a spreadsheet won't be incomprehensible magic.

That said, as Temporal said, even this isn't necessarily done well. It's entirely possible that teaching students to derive the techniques from first principles based on actually understanding math might lead to better outcomes. But it would also be quite difficult to do and I'm not sure existing K-12 teachers are even qualified to do it. To Lockhart's credit, he walked the walk and actually taught children at a primary school. How many similarly qualified people are willing to do that?
> This is absolutely wrong advice in this climate. Self-taught people have a massive survivor's bias. You _can_ make it without a degree, but having a degree greatly increases your chances especially at entry level.

That is true. It's also true irrespective of job and industry, but that isn't the point. If you want the greatest possible career mobility then earn that CS bachelor's degree and be a beginner developer forever who only follows trends. I doubt though, that is the advise they were looking for. If you want to make more money and have a career with real growth then absolutely do not do this. I am speaking from experience.

Their best bet at a real career with any real decision input is to get a graduate degree in CS or be self-taught with a different unrelated bachelor's degree that teaches communication skills. The best way to differentiate from other beginner developers is some combination of ability to write original software and to write with natural language. Its astonishingly staggering how badly most CS bachelors perform at these even well into their careers.
Or the corporate corollary: never ascribe to malice that which can be easily explained by a more profitable allocation of resources.

For me it was an easy choice. First, I was starting to worry about heart health. Second, my mechanical watches could be sold for more than I paid for them.

> relative to the big decision of whether to spend effort maintaining your own custom infrastructure or just focus on the content, the presence or absence of RSS support is probably just not a big factor.

This is a false dichotomy. I wasn't questioning the decision to migrate platforms, I was questioning "the deadlines, feature freezes, and project reshuffling".

> there are always ongoing migrations between "the old system that is deprecated and the new system that is not ready yet" — but that is "just" a cultural problem rather than anyone consciously deciding that RSS could be broken.

I disagree, because whenever you migrate, some features are considered essential and others inessential. Someone consciously decided that RSS was among the inessential features in this specific case. The "culture" did not make that specific decision.

This is the developer relations team. How can you have relations with developers when they don't even see your announcements? The essential part is the communication with outside developers, not the internal CMS.

> they've done the best they can in the meantime, filing a bug with the platform, creating the https://developer.chrome.com/feeds info page acknowledging the issue, and even creating unofficial feeds.

How were developers supposed to know any of this? I had no idea until now.
> Obviously I can claim no "credit" here; I didn't "bail out" of a bad deal in 1998, because that "bad deal" wouldn't exist for another decade and a half or so.

You still chose to keep your collection instead of jumping onto streaming only as many did for convenience.

> Note, slippery slope is a logical fallacy, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of actual slippery slopes in real life. It merely means the fact that you are on a slippery slope can not be correctly logically argued to imply the 100% probability of slipping further down.

The slippery slope isn't a logical fallacy at all. It's just an observation at even small steps towards the undesirable can often result in an avalanche that you are unable to stop by the time you realize where things are going. You can't prove that anything is a slippery slope because you can't predict the future but that does not make the observation or the call for caution fallacious. Calling it a logical falacy is just a knee-jerk reaction by those trying to downplay the risk.
With all the tools that I've gathered, I don't recall a single one that would support multiple providers. Sounds like a gap in the market ;) Enabling multiple comment providers shouldn't be a problem, e.g. by adding "Comment with X" and "Comment with Y" buttons that load the respective service. But displaying aggregated comments from both providers is a bigger challenge.

I would like a simple record keeping box that can be shared with more complex devices for applications requiring messages or complex reports. I would like to see the device maintain a simple "Datagram" approach for each transaction with text file export of grouped transactions.

You do business somewhere, you have to abide by the laws of that somewhere.

Cylinder or box on computer cords: What's it for? (2012)
It's a Java system, so not quite so simple. Maybe it's worthwhile to create some Java bindings? Recent JDKs make it feasible to swap out the underlying zlib implementation, so swapping out zlib-madler with zlib-cloudflare or zlib-ng might provide the best cost/benefit.
I wear a smart watch at the gym to track my heart rate, but when not at the gym I wear a mechanical watch (or some other normal watch... I recently got a Casio World Time I have love way more than I probably should).

I had an Apple Watch, but sold it, as I felt guilty not wearing it more, with all that it can do. I ended up getting the cheapest Polar watch option, that does everything on-device (I don't have an account or anything), and can wear that to the gym if I just want to check out my heart rate.

If you have no knowledge you can still make use of element picker in the context menu. In this case though the problematic element will have a generated class name like `frontend-components-SubscribePrompt-<random>`, so I resorted to the CSS syntax (`<hostname>##<css selector>`). There are a lot, a freaking lot of them [1] but the CSS syntax alone can achieve a lot.

I'd like a watch that does two things:

- Shows the time (and possibly date)

- Vibrates when I get a call (or maybe other notifications)

Other than that I'd like it to be small and have a long battery life. Is there anything like this?

I currently use a Garmin smartband, but there are so many features I don't use.
Even Minecraft didn't really invent the sandbox, it just polished and popularized it.

A new genre in the last 10 years? Probably nothing really. We're probably past the point of new genres being invented until the technology dramatically changes.

We'll see some wild Genre Fusion though. I'm excited for that. I can't wait to see what happens when we stop just stapling "RPG" to every genre and start to really innovate.
to be fair, having such a giant jump between this discovery and the previous earliest log structure discovered incite to be cautious. There was a similar case with superconductivity few weeks ago, where the cautious were right against the researchers.

Inefficient in the sense that in a general-purpose high-performance CPU the actual work performed by instructions is practically inconsequential compared to the work performed to manage it's execution.
Show HN: Gopher Server Written in Swift
Why Li-Fi Might Be Better Than Wi-Fi
I have had this on my bucket list for a few years— implementing my own Gopher server. I was originally planning on using Swift for Advent of Code, but then I made the mistake of joining a private leaderboard. So I decided to do this instead.

IMO the best way to browse the Gopherspace is using lynx[0]

lynx gopher://gopher.navan.dev

To make it easier to interact with the server, I am also hosting a HTTP-Gopher proxy for my server[1].

In any distributed system, what "retention" means is unclear* and, in the face of that lack of clarity, a company deciding to play it safe and require consent for things that GDPR says needs consent seems reasonable.

* If I put your content-type and IP address onto a queue for processing by another system, that's arguably retaining the data, even if that length of retention is typically measured in seconds. Given that, the safest thing for me to do is to require your consent for the retention of IP address and related data.
Yes I've seen that kind of watch too. I forget which brand it was but it was one of the mechanical brands.
