In OpenAI's case there are millions of dollars on the line for the employees involved so I consider that the most likely reason to stand behind him. Discounting that, are there any other companies that he's involved with where you see "cult vibes"?

Do they have only one huge table in the db that contains all of their entities? From the key structure that seems reasonable: shard id, type, object id.

If that is the case, is a relational db still the right place to keep such data? It seems that if the goal is to store this kind of data in one or a few huge sharded tables, a different tool could be optimizing to do the job better.

It seems that I’m missing something…

The main reason is Windows 10 leaves free support in less than two years so doing a new install with it basically just leaving the problem for a year down the road. After that there are actually feature changes in Windows 11 (despite the "new windows release" tropes) but they make up a less common reason alltogether.

This article presents a half dozen very different definitions of “neoliberalism”

> The term "neoliberalism" has been understood in a variety of ways: as a package of policy prescriptions; a design philosophy for state-market relations; the spirit of leading institutions of global economic governance; a form of politics focused on private property ownership and consumption as civic participation; a form [End Page 559] of political and social subjectivity; and a distinct epoch in the history of modern capitalism beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

But it also talks about how we are in “a world dominated by neoliberalism”.

Talking about omnipresent and powerful, yet nebulous and vague forces… to me it sounds more theological than economic

I've heard that professional mediators use a similar technique. It goes something like: 1) repeat back what you've heard and ask if you've got it right, 2) if the other person says no, then have them explain, 3) repeat back again and again until the other person says that you've got it right, 4) only after that point do you share your own perspective.

My control arms were the bad kind. One side of the car started squeaking after 4.5 years. They switched them out for the latest revision in an afternoon for 200 bucks. Gave me a sweet loaner car in the meantime.

That was the first maintenance I ever had to pay for on my car aside from new tires.

In my now 5 years of ownership my Tesla has been less hassle than any other car I've ever owned. Its "up time" has been spectacular.
You said you cannot make an ethical purchase in a capitalist society. I live in one, so by your rules I can only act unethically. This means effectively, there is no good or bad. This is a popular method of debasing people. Maybe you aren’t aware of that, but the poster you did the dog pile with certainly is.
Frustrating to see this story flagged already. Can we not even talk about censorship of pro-Palestinian voices in the tech world? Is this story not news worthy?
"Better" is one of those obnoxious concepts that can be pivoted to whatever one wants it to mean to win an argument. Crispy ultra-high-def video is esthetically inferior to smoother presentations given by older equipment and methods. Yet another classic example of new isn't necessarily improved.
>Cytoneme-mediated transport of active Wnt5b–Ror2 complexes in zebrafish

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06850-7

Abstract

Chemical signalling is the primary means by which cells communicate in the embryo. The underlying principle refers to a group of ligand-producing cells and a group of cells that respond to this signal because they express the appropriate receptors1,2. In the zebrafish embryo, Wnt5b binds to the receptor Ror2 to trigger the Wnt–planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling pathway to regulate tissue polarity and cell migration3,4. However, it remains unclear how this lipophilic ligand is transported from the source cells through the aqueous extracellular space to the target tissue. In this study, we provide evidence that Wnt5b, together with Ror2, is loaded on long protrusions called cytonemes. Our data further suggest that the active Wnt5b–Ror2 complexes form in the producing cell and are handed over from these cytonemes to the receiving cell. Then, the receiving cell has the capacity to initiate Wnt–PCP signalling, irrespective of its functional Ror2 receptor status. On the tissue level, we further show that cytoneme-dependent spreading of active Wnt5b–Ror2 affects convergence and extension in the zebrafish gastrula. We suggest that cytoneme-mediated transfer of ligand–receptor complexes is a vital mechanism for paracrine signalling. This may prompt a reevaluation of the conventional concept of characterizing responsive and non-responsive tissues solely on the basis of the expression of receptors.
I mean that's what I was hoping to see, completely exploiting the game.
There is an really impressive recent site here https://polyhedra.tessera.li/ with a 3d viewer, it even has interactive animation where you can see how they transform into each other, for example an icosahedron gets changed into a diminished icosahedron and back.
All Gameboy games (as far as I'm aware) have batteries inside the cartridge, the saves were stored on volatile memory and were battery-backed. Gold, Silver, and Crystal just made extra use of the battery with an RTC. I can find many instances across many forums of people talking and troubleshooting replacement batteries for their Red cartridges so I don't believe my memory is failing me here.

You don't have much control over what is being generated. And if you did want to have fine control then what would be the difference compared to just dicking around on a synthesizer?

A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too. After all, you and the artist are both just human at the end of the day.

This is why for instance I have a hard time believing in AI girlfriends or AI therapists. It's not that I don't think that an AI could learn to be empathetic and say the right things at the right time, it's that I think there is something about you the human knowing it is an AI speaking that would make you not be able to connect. It's the knowledge that they haven't had any life experiences like you. They haven't had adversity or struggle.
Seems like these analyses fail to take into account generational issues. Those who grew up in the Great Depression or World War Two had very good reasons to believe in a shared social obligation to manage society for the benefit of the general population. Those who grew up in the Postwar years had no similar shared crises and found themselves having to constantly struggle against authorities in a broad range of forms.

The thing that bothers me most about neoliberalism is that being pervasive means that the whole idea of tuning economic systems for general benefit is largely gone. In that place is a common belief in Late Stage Capitalism as the inevitable death of the larger whole as it is sucked dry by elites. This complicates even the most basic discussion of economic systems and their potential tuning and regulation.
Your article was clear, informative, and I learned a few things from it.

I have a company that includes consulting offerings and while the article points resonate with me and know that real consulting is complex and a craft, the article is too general and more oriented to personal consulting that a business around that.

For example, in our case, several consulting work could be seen as presales for other services and/or products while other companies take it as business marketing and sale expenses. If you see consulting in this way, the picture changes dramatically and from the finances/accounting point of view you are converting expenses into income.

I assume you would drive differently if you noticed the driver you were overtaking was looking at their phone and their hands were not on the wheel?

Like the article hints at, a true self driving car lets the driver behave in ways that would normally be reckless and illegal. Best to avoid ambiguity.

“aren't you afraid to have made mistakes that will bite you later? Such as security stuff or other errors that will be hard to correct.”

If you let this fear control you, you will never actually make anything. Even the most experienced developers will make some of these mistakes. Anyone who thinks they have progressed beyond them needs more experience to see the truth.

The best way to learn is to work on projects and make those mistakes, then figure out how to fix them. The harder it is to fix, the more likely future projects will consider it in the design from the start.
You can't "just" scan the original negative or use the "4K-scan" (which will be of the negative I think, as any
"print" done they could have scanned will have only been 2K) that easily though for films that have digital VFX / bluescreen/greenscreen or heavy grading being done on them: the "negative" is almost certainly only going to consist of raw film plate footage, without any of the post production work: you'd then have to either re-create all that work at 4K (original VFX was done at 2K by Digital Domain, as would be initial grading DI onto 2K print), or just keep the original work in those areas at 2K (and you'd still have to grade the new 4K plate-only footage to blend in and match the original grade).
The article mentions earlier work from the group involving silkworms. I wonder how that panned out.

I’m in the middle of slowly replacing as much of the microplastics shedding stuff in my wardrobe with natural fibers as I can. Wool, in particular (measured in the study) is a big win due to longevity and comfort across a wide temperature range. I’ve found that wool lasts 5-10 years, cotton is half that, and polyester is even worse.

Also, I wonder why they didn’t compare to thinsulate or some other (more recent) synthetic.

Wow, what a lovely puff piece. Known as a 'rehabilitator' in PR circles. The conversation:

Sama: "I'm getting a bit of knock-back over my management style from various sources."

Sama: "Great. Invoice me."
It's also a bit worse than the usual family drama.
IDK supposedly executives are paid to be on top of things, be responsible if they go south (but boards and golden parachutes protect them), and work however many hours it takes to make the important decisions.

So if their time is divided then my guess is they won't be doing it very well. If they are all face and PR then perhaps AI will replace them.
If your government doesn't enforce that the tax/duty/whatever was paid, then someone will obviously take advantage of this. I pay taxes when I buy from Aliexpress etc.
When I buy directly from outside of my tax region, the company or person that I bought from has to prove that the tax was paid when the goods enter my country or they are stopped at the border until I pay the taxes + processing fee.

Your government did not protect your interests here in ensuring that the playing field is level.

love when people act like the Soviets weren't financing and supporting South American leaders in the exact same way as the US. They were as "popularly elected" as Kim Jong Un and Putin. It was a proxy war in the same way the Middle East is/was, global powers each picking a side to achieve their goals.

the only logical thing is to feel bad for the citizens who get caught in the crossfire
> Instead if you kept the same 6 engineers around for decades you could probably scale to 100m with those same engineers.

Scaling to 100m users is more about your users/product than your engineering IMHO.

If your product doesn't appeal to 100m users, you can't scale that high. It's not necessary to be ready for usage that's unrealistically high. And your team won't develop experience scaling if it's not happening.

Mega scaling gets more approachable all the time. Ebay had to shard their databases pretty early, because what they could fit on the biggest Sun machine to run Oracle they could buy isn't much. Now you can run a dual socket Epyc and get 256 cores with terrabytes of memory and petabytes of storage in one system. Might not be the best way to run your database, but if your queries aren't super awful, you can do a ton of queries per second with that much ram.

A friend of mine brute-forced the access key on a particular piece of industrial hardware by using an X10 outlet relay module, predecessor to today's wifi-connected smart sockets. The key was only 4 digits long and it would lock out after 3 attempts and require a reboot, so he was looking at a few thousand reboots each taking a minute or so. Easy enough to run over a weekend.

It ended up wearing out one relay, but he had a spare and just swapped it in and restarted the script from where it hung up. For the cost of like $30 and a few days, it gave us a new unobtanium unlocked unit.

>which will make it far easier for Mercedes to prove that you’re at fault than you to do the opposite.

which implied the telemetry collected had some sort of asymmetry in the evidence (ie. it helps prove Mercedes was at fault more than it helps prove the other driver was at fault)
Agree the analogy is inappropriate and (unintentionally?) deceptive. That is, it's used to make you feel the argument is more correct than it is by borrowing the trust we have in "fancy" ideas from math/physics.

The whole blog _looks_ like a scientific paper with citations, quotes, diagrams and jargon, but none of the arguments made really have any evidence and wind up being circular.

Isn't this rejected by the study. If poor people have less to lose, then why doesn't the data show that increasing their wealth reduces their crime rate? If they are awarded more money, then they have more to lose, yet their rate is crime forward but decrease according to this study, no?
Btw, rolling is a relatively new technique. Before that you had hypertapping, where players would hold the controller normally and just press the d-pad obscenely fast. IIRC the fastest hypertappers were capable of 16 presses per second.

Academia seems like a very variable experience, depending on your ambitions and so on.

If you want to bring in funding, have phd students, and publish a lot of papers it’s a lot of work, and in a lot of fields PhDs are massively overproduced, and you’ll suffer through endless postdocs.

On the other hand, this is one of the only places you can get paid to do pure maths, and you can choose what you work on, and you get called professor, and you can’t be fired, and you’re surrounded by 19 year old girls? Good luck finding those employment conditions anywhere else!

Liberalism led to high taxes on the most wealthy, who can clearly afford that, strong regulations on industry, who need their activities to be limited to what society can tolerate, and pervasive legalization of unions for workers who must live by the products of their labor. Neoliberalism took all of that away.
I don't even lift. This 16 year old guy during the covid is going the same way as me, but I'm in my 50s.

Ask HN: Has anyone experienced full AWS AZ outages?
I'm starting to get curious/suspicious of whether AZs really needed - specifically with their cross-AZ bandwidth fees. It seems like when something goes down, it goes down across the entire region, rather than an individual AZ.

I know there are situations like whether you can schedule a spot instance in an AZ, etc., but for the most part it seems like the AZ is just as reliable as the region?

Curious if anyone has experienced otherwise. I'm thinking of making a site to track this for a few regions just by putting EC2 instances in each AZ and monitoring their uptime (autoscaling group for rescheduling and health checks). I know that would only cover EC2 accessibility but I think that's a good baseline monitor.
All ideologies, including "neoliberalism," are mind-viruses that prevent those infected from seeing reality as it truly is, as complex as it is. I routinely come across people who naively believe the "invisible hand of the free market" is the solution to everything everywhere, even in those cases when the evidence suggests otherwise. I'll take a pragmatic person over an ideological one any day.

One of my favorite quotes in that regard is from Lee Kuan Yew, a controversial figure who is credited with transforming Singapore into one of the world's most advanced economies in one generation: "We are pragmatists. We don't stick to any ideology. Does it work? Let's try it, and if it does work, fine, let's continue it. If it doesn't work, toss it out, try another one. We are not enamored with any ideology."[a]

I think the killer application of Strava is segments. Even without caring about being the quickest of all users (aka getting KOMs), I find it valuable to be able to compare my progress on a specific piece of road over time.
