Yeah, it doesn't make sense to talk about the m68k being a 1979 processor, when Motorola continued to develop it and release new chips all through the 80's, and it continued to be used in new Mac and Next computers up through the early 90's. The 80486 would be its peer as far as obsolescence goes, not the 8086. But like others mentioned even the i486 is about to lose Linux support.

The implication that "unknown locations should default to Null Island", as opposed to some more robust error handling, is also questionable.

>support for the standardized protocols?

What standardized protocol? Each wayland makes a different choice. That's the problem. And yeah, I guess I can't say this is a sway issue, their choice is reasonable enough. But it highlights how reasonable actions in a broken system like the waylands can cause problems. They're not doing anything "wrong" and neither are the waylands using libei (all the mouse/keyboard sharing programs target libei, maybe in the future some can target whatever sway comes up with). But it does lead to things not working across waylands. Whereas in X things do work no matter what X implementation you use.

> I don't understand what causes people to talk in bad faith like that.

Okay I guess I'll take the bait and assume you are legitimately confused and that your original comment was in good faith.

When you say something like

> You sound like you saw the phrase "Right Way Guy", felt it sounded pejorative (it's more gently poking fun at a common thing), and decided it must mean That Type Of Guy I Don't Like.

you might think that no one should get offended by this because you are being objective about your thoughts. But it doesn't matter that you're "just" sharing your thoughts. These thoughts are hurtful to the parent as evidenced by their reactions. They're hurtful because people don't like being wrong nor do they like being told that they're upset. If this isn't clear to you, then you have my deepest condolences because I expect you often unintentionally offend others.

If I may offer unsolicited advice, you can avoid this kinds of unpleasant reactions by mincing your words. I know a few people who speak like you did and they all are so confused when I tell them this because they think readers would be offended that they are padding their message with unnecessary formality and fluff. But without it, their message is often curt.

I see this interaction play out all the time on HN (including my response), so I hope my response is not in vain...
My bowling alley renovated and now uses these string pins. They are awful, they keep tangling and jam more than their old counterpart, they are horrible to look at, and there's a lot of instances of pins just dangling oh so subtly instead of falling down like they would without a string.

Terrible, terrible change. Maybe it's just my alley that cheaped out on it, but still not a good impression at all.
One of the most fascinating things about Borges writing is how he leads you into the fantastic realm without you even noticing.
I don't think it's possible to put too fine a point on this because it seems to be a weirdly and stupefyingly common point of view among programmers:

This perspective makes absolutely no sense.

This is like saying that the exercises in mathematical textbooks are a crutch because you'll never be able to read formulas if you interact with the ones in the book via the exercises given. This is the exact opposite of the case! The exercises are there to force you to "step through" the technical details in the text, to actively build intuition for the dynamics. If there were a way to spin up a math debugger to literally step through the details as you work through the exercises, that would be amazing. Educators would kill for that capability! And we already have it, essentially for free. But then out of some kind of misplaced sense of purity, tons of people have concluded that it's bad to use this incredible capability.

This is just bad pedagogy.

Edit to add: I feel like I didn't state this plainly enough: The way to learn things from textbooks is not to just read a bunch of different text, it is to interact with the concepts covered by texts. That's why textbooks all have exercises, and why educational institutions always ask students to do those exercises (and more). The advice to "read a lot of code" is like saying "read a lot of textbooks". But that's not good enough. You need to run the code, ask questions of it, test assumptions out; this is just like doing exercises in a textbook, and a debugger is a superpower for doing that active interrogation, while reading the text.

I agree and I can't stand it when people dilute terms to the point they become meaningless. I see it in other areas as well.

It isn't a profound thought to take a term like "technical debt" and just say well that's just everything.

Technical debt is absolutely that, adding something that incurs a level of interest, until you take the time to pay it off. In life, we often always have a level of interest to be paid.

It's a good analogy

Cool to see this idea in 1996. I think the main problem is that you have to write up / document everything for the Remembrance Agent to retrieve. The large majority of human knowledge stays locked to the brain, and sometimes our attempts at converting brain knowledge onto paper (“writing”) will leave omissions.
That makes sense that the use case in a shared home lot is different than out and about, but still doesn't obviously suggest payment routing over the charger - wouldn't monthly billing be better from the consumers point of view? You'd only need a car identifier for that.

I'm not a doctor, so I just can say my anecdotal experience, take it like grain of salt.

- Measure Vo2 max, and try to improve it monitoring it, there are some things that just work better for vo2 max, like HIT, and specific protocol of max intensity and rest, for example 4 min intensity followed by 4 rest, 4 times is one of them. Better explained at this Rhonda Patrick's video [1]

- Additionally I notice a big improvement when doing hikes in high altitude, I did vomit few hours after coming down from Teide mountain, hiked from tele-spheric station up to 3200mts. I think I over did it for my fitness level, and didn't protect from sun properly, but after recovering I could feel a big improvement in my usual walks, and Apple Watch showed and increment of Vo2 bigger than usual.

- Also this is more specific, and probably does not apply to you, but check your hormones. Because lack of sleep and stress, I had ACTH, Estradiol, Prolactin and Homa-IR out of whack, was nearly developing type 2 diabetes, fixing this made losing weight so much easier, and gym sessions way less tiring.

> What does it matter that it looked up the reactions on Wikipedia? They're building a "coscientist", not an AI-based Nobel prize winning researcher.

Well, quite. This is attempting to automate the boring, time-consuming and dangerous part of chemical research.

We should be applauding.
That was an epic screw up. Hopefully the only one that ever happens to them. New auto (tesla, rivian, ?) have generally avoided them.

Some of the details that got out about what happened at Rivian:

Problem cause #1: to push an update, you had to cut and paste various version numbers together onto a command line. Someone messed that up, oops, meant to say this instead of that.

Problem cause #2: bad test strategy. The dev tested it before he pushed it, so no worries? Except the dev test vehicle was a "special test car" that had extra security tokens on it. So the install worked and test passed. But regular cars didn't have those certs.

So lots of obvious things to fix there. No command line mucking about to push a real production release! And test the final thing on a regular fucking car with no special dev stuff.

Tesla has multiple hardware versions, and their main panel of the original S has a v1 and v2 main console hardware. They pushed a release once that broke things in the map for the original version that caused it to use an excessive amount of cpu. I got this one, seems like it just made everything really really slow and some things failed. It took them like a 6 weeks or more because they got around to undoing the fix. I think part of that was all of them had the updated cpu so they didn't see it. It was still driveable, just degraded infotainment ui.

VW has had software updates that they would not push over the air because they took so long the 12v battery could run out before it finished, risking bricking the car (main battery couldn't charge the 12v during os update). Solution, bring your car to the dealer to do the update. Apparently also considered giving everyone a better 12v battery.
In some places (Seattle, Denver, a few others I've been to) the Clear line can be significantly shorter than the pre-check line, especially close to the holidays.

To be clear (no pun intended), Clear lets you jump to the start of the PreCheck line too (they "stack").

This summer in Denver, for example, the pre-check line took about 30-45 minutes, wrapping around several parts of the airport.

The Clear line (which I didn't have access to) jumped to the end of head of that queue, cutting off like 20-30 min.

Many travel credit cards will pay for PreCheck anyway, but only a few will pay for Clear.

But having both will be the fastest. Often it won't matter, but when it does, it's nice.
> For client systems, couldn't there just be a virtual /dev/input/XYZ that Barrier forwards events through

You seem to be asking for kernel thing, not something Wayland. But let's assume you wanted a protocol on top of Wayland to do this:

Why can't arbitrary Wayland clients always see the mouse pointer, snoop on the keyboard, and inject keypresses? Because of security, by design.

Why is it taking a bunch of work to provide that capability in an access-controlled way? Because it's a bunch of work. For example, quoting libei: "However, the events are distinguishable inside the compositor to allow for fine-grained access control on which events may be emulated and when emulation is permitted."

Can bidirectional linear probing be used for any key type? Or do the keys need to be of some integral type?
I want to point out that the experiment was at Harvard in the Lukin group. There is a proposal for constant-rate encodings using large quantum low-density parity check codes via atom rearrangement which could in principle achieve such high encoding rate. That said, it's certainly not mainstream yet. https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.08648
I wouldn't mind Clear one bit if they had their own dedicated security scanners. But they don't--they cut into the PreCheck line.
Tools that are popular with developers tend to evolve into tools that end up in use by everyone.

Your caution isn't wrong, but ultimately it may be futile.
You could use it to query against any kind of B2B customer information and provide insight, citations and context without any of the data leaving your private server.

When building something similar powered by OpenAI I had a real pain in the ass anonymizing the data, then de-anonymizing the answers before showing it to the customer.

Also in my example, I'm sure using a string like "Pineapple Cave Inc." instead of the real business name hurt the AI's ability to contextualize the information and data and that hurt the LLM somewhat -- right?
My most recent travel to and from Austin, the Clear line was massively longer than just walking up to the precheck line. Flying out of Austin the Clear line was piling up through the ticket counter area. I could count the people in the Precheck line on one hand.
Tiny negligible impact on the industry (Except cut advertising revenue in half, but who cares. What do ads pay for anyways?)
Ship or don't. If the calculus boils down to this, then making suboptimal choices isn't necessary wrong.
Not a bad idea. Will look into it!
How do you predict what the full simulation will do, before you run it for the first time? If it is computationally irreducible, then you can't predict the outcome - the only way to know what will happen is to run the computation and see what happens. And this computation, this full simulation, is a person with free agency. They are just running on a non-biological computational substrate.
No offense. What exactly is the cost of using "var" instead of "const"? You seem to pretend it to be a big deal.
What I don't like about "technical debt" is that it's usually interpreted as "technical" debt: it's only a problem for the developers, the techies. You immediately lose the business stakeholders once you start talking about technical debt. But the problem of technical debt if a problem for everyone, not just the devs, because it is reflected in quality and time-to-market. I feel having that conversation about time-to-market and quality with business stakeholders is incredibly important and is often skipped. This in turn alienates business stakeholders from the developers, which is counter-productive.

So yes, the core idea of technical debt resonates with developers, but not with business stakeholders. So if you really think the business is going to be okay with "we're gonna slow down our time-to-market and say no to all your requests for a while because we need to pay back our technical debt" (which is something I see happening over and over again), you're just keeping them out of the loop and taking over their responsibilities without actually having their accountability. Developers shouldn't decide whether time and money should be invested in time-to-market and quality or feature delivery, but that's effectively what's happening when business is not involved in the tech debt discussion. This only leads to friction and suboptimal results.

That's why I think we really need to be careful when using the words "technical debt" and not just label everything we don't really understand or think can be improved as "technical debt". Challenge yourself: what really is the problem with this piece of code, other than that we don't like it?
Ask HN: How do you catch up to the research of LLMs/Transformers etc.?
I have been trying to catch up on research that has happened in the last 5 to 10 years on transformers, GANs, LLMs, etc. There are some amazing resources out there explaining some of the aspects. I also started reading original papers for better context. However, most of them refer to previous papers and I feel like I am falling into the rabbit hole and discovering more research.

How do you catch up to the fast-moving research?

Here are some resources I use:

1. https://paperswithcode.com/

2. Two minutes papers ( Youtube )

3. https://github.com/diff-usion/Awesome-Diffusion-Models

4. https://www.litmaps.com/ ( for finding references )
Too early. Right now there are lot of gold diggers using AI/LLM to make quick buck. Let the dust settle in 3-5 years and then we will see. Having said that, I do think it is an amazing technology that has some real world applications. Just not sold on the hype train that's currently running.
Great answers above, but long term: Personal assistants. I truly think that’s a privacy line people won’t cross, even after seeing Alexa and Google Maps enter into our lives; I think people would rather have nothing than a robot that knows every detail of their health, schedule, feelings, plans, etc. in some vaguely defined server somewhere.
RV charging has much smaller installations than gas. Instead of gas stations, the most common SV charging will eventually be thick poles on the footpath so you can charge wherever you park, or small one or two bay charging facilities at various businesses. That's the sort of charging infrastructure you want and seamless payment solutions is an enabling tech.
Hey, I'm the post author. This is a totally fair point! I do think though that depending on your specific requirements open-source models can be a 10x+ improvement. For example, we serve Mistral 7B for less than 1/10th the cost of GPT-4-Turbo, which is the model most of our users are comparing us to.
If the largest shareholder had 50.0001% of the shares, they’d be untouchable. No matter what, as long as they can vote they can get their way even if every other shareholder wants ‘em out.

If the largest shareholder (let’s say Frank) has 5% of the shares it’s possible to overrule them. You just need enough people to band with you that your collective shares outnumber the collective shares of Frank and others who will vote with him.

I should also note that this only matters for voting shares. I can own 97% of Microsoft shares and if I don’t have any voting shares I get as much direct say as my dog.
Here is a fit a few years ago. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/1*0aH...

I think this chip would intersect with the exponential.

So...300 qbits by 2031.
Anecdotally, I finetuned Mistral 7B for a specific (and slightly unusual) natural language processing task just a few days ago. GPT-4 can do the task, but it needs a long complex prompt and only gets it right about 80-90% of the time - the finetuned model performs significantly better with fewer tokens. (In fact it does so well that I suspect I could get good results with an even smaller model.)
yeah, just because they change things in their fanfic doesn't make it original.
Many charging stations are located inside parks or near nice sit down restaurants.

I think this makes long term sense. You mays well enjoy the 30-60 minutes it will take the car to charge.
And what's the difference between N/S and E/W when it's 0°00'00"?
I think it could make more sense if it's rephrased to 'all code is a liability'.

Then the equation is simpler. More code = more to maintain = more liability. It says nothing about the quality of the code, just the quantity.

Tech debt is a trade-off between near term and long term ambitions - it is literally impossible to build a successful project without accruing this kind of debt, simply because you cannot perfectly anticipate the future. In that sense, it's not so much debt as it is a maintenance overhead.
That's if you have control of both images. With a given MD5 hash, you can't make another file with that hash.
