>I sometimes wish that we would stop using "GPU" for training and we got a dedicated hardware architecture that's open source like riskV but solely for AI and research purposed without costing more tha n my kidneys.

At least for the time being there is no magic workaround for the amount of FLOPS and memory bandwidth needed. When you look at neural network architectures they tend to be massively parallel, and building out at that scale in hardware is going to cost a lot.

And, when the hardware does show up, at least with the scaling laws we're seeing at this time, the groups that have massive amounts of this lower powered/accellerated hardware are going to be ahead of those without budgets.
> ... you cannot “own” an idea.

Let's talk about ownership in a broader sense. In practice, one cannot effectively own (retain possession of) something without some combination of physical capability or coercion (or threat of coercion). Meaning: maintaining ownership of anything (physical or otherwise) often depends on the rule of law.
Armbian is great. Without it I would have never again bought non-Raspi SBCs.

Board vendors believe that it is OK to host their images on dubious download sites, with zero information on what the image is built with.
At the time it felt a lot superior to the alternatives. The low saturation wasn't so much of an issue when TVs tended to have a dial to adjust that.

Most of the contemporaries used primary colour palettes which were definitely more vibrant but lacked any hues that worked together.

The Atari systems were better when it came to producing colours but had their own quirks. If you wanted a horizontal gradient, Atari was king.

It was a time of extremely rapid development. The changes from 1978 to 1988 make the changes 2008 to 2018 look positively stagnant.

QR has the same contrast requirement for colors to be read.

I'm not sure about this compactness idea, especially since the text url is usually right there with the QR code, in the same space.
Luckily, it was the type of flash chip that I could use an external programmer and a test clip for. I haven't actually ever tried reading/writing through the internal programmer.
They were real notes. The notes reconstructed from the remnants of real notes are not real notes.
The government has been entirely too slow to adopt the really simple stuff like PGP-signed email. If we had what was child's play in the 90s, most of these problems would go away. (And be replaced with different problems, like someone hacking the police's computers to get their private key, but let's imagine they can use some sort of HSM because those exist now.)
Is there something you want to know specifically? It’s pretty standard basically. I used sequelize (might have chosen something different if starting today) and I build for node running on a single machine. I use pm2 to deploy with nginx in front.
If the menus are dirty, imagine what the kitchen’s like. Now, with QR codes, you can’t tell.
The solution is to minimize data in company's possession, which includes minimizing collection and retension. Otherwise, even if you close this loophole, another will appear. Your data is an asset with value and people will seek it out.
No, once it is taken out of circulation by the government, it is not a real note.

It's like revoking a TLS cert. It was once real. Now it's not.
Cynically, if your insurance company says "4mm cross cut and a paper trail to prove it was done", then that's what you do. Why try harder?

But yes, paper that's shredded by a specialist paper-shredding company is then typically baled up and sent for recycling.
There is no such thing as "UTF-8 that is invalid for my application". Any properly encoded sequence of UTF-8 codepoints is valid UTF-8. Your application may have constraints on the codepoints that it should accept, but that does not suddenly make them improperly encoded. Using visually-similar lookalikes does not make a UTF-8 string invalid.

It can be a great category on its own right if done correctly.
Few notes:

- I do tend to document much BUT not to publish my personal docs to the world, so well, I'm not selling much for free;

- while I tend to document I find a curious issues, maybe mine, maybe common: on one side I fail to proper document anything: I start baldly to document something but quickly decline and fail completing the docs, integrate it with the others and properly keep anything up to date, conversely while I have even too much text written on various stuff I fail to have something like a simple "my home siteguide for my family", subtitle: "If/when incapacitated my dear you can find here all infos too keep the home up and running";

- for literate programming personal stuff it's the same: I tend to start in org-mode with much prose and an outline of anything, but many times I end up abandoning the literate approach to write code directly that a certain point in time I go back splitting the now working and complete enough code in the original org-mode structure, who generally get revised a bit. Than a plateau until something break and the game restart.

Long story short:

- documenting does not means showing anything to anyone on a personal website, it can perfectly be just for few people in private;

- documenting and keeping thin up to date probably demand a not so common discipline and maybe that's why in most places there are a more or less big pile of document crap and little usable, up to date and easy to use documentation.
Some fair points, but also a lot of "old person complains about new things and young people".
> But surely the fewest assumptions here points to incompetence?

Don't call me Shirley. ;-)

As I said, that's very much a matter of perspective about which is more prevalent or more likely to be prevalent in the RCMP: incompetence or racism. If you include the context of the RCMP's history, racism does indeed seem more prevalent.

> Based on the information would you conclude it was racist if the accused person was white? Would you conclude it was racist if the cop was also a first nation/aboriginal? I doubt it. What would your conclusion be then?

I said I don't think one can draw a conclusion from the information provided, so I'm not sure why you are asking these questions. No, nothing you said would lead me to draw a conclusion.
Take a gander at home; there's lots of interesting stuff there:

I work with quite a few company with dual class voting common shares. I will never understand the notion of not implementing that at incorporation if you want it. Will you have the leverage to get a VC to agree to let you keep it? Maybe, maybe not. But the worst that happens is you get rid of it, which is virtually costless.

Honestly, implementing a 10M share one class common company just to make a VC happy sends horrible signals for negotiating with investors. It shows that you are happy to pre-negotiate against yourself from the get go just to look VC friendly. If you cared about retaining control, why would you do that?
Yeah I hear you. I recently started logging slow queries to a text file. It was really easy to do but yeah I didn’t really look into more complex monitoring. I wonder if there’s anything out there!
A 16GB RAM OPi5 is $140 and a 16GB OPi5+ is $180, outside of sales. Both of my OPi5's have a small microSD boot volume and a 1TB NVMe drive that cost about $50, because when they're not doing arm64 builds for my GitHub projects, they also do some Longhorn volume replication in my home k8s cluster. My OPi5+ has a 2TB NVMe drive for video recording-to-disk. (I designed and 3D printed my own cases, so I didn't factor that in.)

A Mac Mini that matches the important specifications here--and CPU performance isn't one of them, but memory capacity and disk storage are--is twelve hundred dollars. Before you add a capture card or the additional terabyte of storage for the video capture box. Also then I'd have to fight with Asahi Linux or something, because my workflows, while probably portable to macOS, already exist on Linux.

I have no problem buying Macs, I have plenty. The Mini is not a replacement for the needs I described. The more general Ryzen mini-PCs are better competitors, and if you need more and faster compute are a better call at ~$230 to $400--a far cry from the Mac mini's pricing.
Yes. In their JS, they check if you're coming from HN:

if (document.referrer) {
const ref = new URL(document.referrer);
if (ref.host === 'news.ycombinator.com') {
window.location.href = 'https://google.com/';
}
}

You can copy-paste the link instead and it loads as expected.

The Indo-European one might have been an actual snake at one point, too.

Fish stories, flood stories, and snake stories all have something in common. The subjects of the stories tend to get larger and larger as the tales go down the generations.
Assuming that data is valid UTF-8 can result in you passing this data to other systems that make the same assumption. If nobody validates the data, it can cause unintended behavior or crashes. If someone downstream validates the data and returns you an error, it may be an error you didn't expect, and you may not handle it properly.
I think the implication is that it may be misrepresented or cherry-picked in a way that strengthens their argument against public education. Not that every outlet isn't biased in some way, but this is a group with a known strong bias.

Hmm, they were smashed in the 1640s and rebuilt in 1660, so there is probably no record of the original. So it's going to be a lot harder than a banknote.

The lead borders follow smooth arcs, so the glass may have been ground down to fit the existing shaped holes, causing a lot to be lost.

The caption seems to suggest all of the windows were broken, but only one side of the church was reconstructed with all of the pieces. So that's 3/4ths lost there, possibly.

I could see computer vision finding the orientation of symbols and faces, and gathering similar patterns. I'm not sure how much farther it would get though.
It is a webpage that was quickly put together. We are a small company and our focus has been on the product. You can run Linux and macOS currently. That is listed on the features page as well as the app store product listing.

There is no dark pattern, it is actually a problem with the way Apple allows developers to sell software on the Mac App Store. We don't have proper control over the process and thus end up with this convoluted purchasing system that is more geared towards subscriptions - which are the real dark pattern nowadays. We sell without any subscriptions - at a very fair price that is extremely competitive with other products. The old upgrade pricing model was a lot more fair to both developers and users and we are sticking to it. This is the only way to offer a free trial on the App Store without requiring a separate installation, which would be inconvenient for everyone.

Far from a university project - but your opinion is yours to keep. It is a shame you are so negative, as it really is a labour of love and a quality Mac app. In fact we have a lot of firsts here, no one has really done a lot of these things (snapshots, suspend & resume, proper dynamic resolution with retina support) with the new Apple framework yet.
We kill for lots of reasons, some as trivial as wanting the pocket change another person has on them.
Scientific progress almost always presents as series of iterations, not punctuated breakthroughs. Moreover, many significant advances appear nearly simultaneously. This tends to suggest a measured progress, though obviously still largely unpredictable at any scale.

I don’t see why AGI would follow a different course, one where we are “just some breakthrough away”. Especially not given the current state of the field.

Personally I’d wager neuromorphic computing is the prime candidate to yield AGI.
Hi, author here. That is something I intend to test. I know it works under Android (which I've yet to test), and under Linux I can see the audio part of it using lshw:

To be fair, PGP has broken usability by design. The (rarely-recognized) problem is that it's too stateful, and thus hard to reproduce.
If you're not yet profitable it doesn't matter, so you can do this accounting and once you are profitable (in five years) you'll be caught up

What the (possibly temporary) temporary law probably actually does is decrease the incentive to become profitable for the next couple of years (assuming your business is strong and you can raise another round)
I recently bought a mini pc with an AMD 5500u (6 cores, 12 threads, 15W), 16 GB DDR4, and a 512 GB nvme SSD for $225 (on sale a bit). I suspect it would run laps around the orange pi despite the similar price and wattage.

Chances that “the baddies” have an informal Five Eyes alike agreement are pretty high, I’d say.

In many cases incineration is the standard, using so-called burn bags.
Something I have found pretty annoying is that Flink works great for joining a stream against another stream where messages to be joined are expected to arrive within a few minutes of each other, but there is actually ~no platform solution for joining a small, unchanging or slowly changing table against a stream. We end up needing a service to consume the messages, make RPC calls, and re-emit them with new fields.
Most of the time the only reason is there is just no room on the table for the menus to be kept.

There are a few places (usually burger joints) where the menu is a piece of paper that actually serve as a placemat that the waiters won't take back from you. I doubt a lot of people are changing their mind. I've rarely seen that.
I hope the people getting calls from these cars are trained to deal talking to hurt people, but I suppose the agency the manufacturers have outsourced this service to can recruit 911 operators for a little better pay. They can say on the phone "This is X from Mercedes help center" but I'm speculating that X's work console displayed "Connecting you with a car in need of assistance. Car brand: Mercedes" a few seconds before.

I wonder if the more expensive car brands can jump the queue of getting help after an incident.
I haven't, and (as I already said) I also haven't tried any of the BSDs yet. I put both on the list of things to try.
I would suggest you educate yourself a little bit about the culture you consume.

You just choose to read it in the most unfavourable way imaginable.
The Founder: A dystopian business simulator (2015)
For necessary performance reasons, a lot of code does not ensure that its input is valid UTF-8, and simply leaves that burden to the programmer. Strings are often passed through many, many layers of various types of processing, and it would slow code down significantly if each step in this process needed to validate the entire string all over again, so it's typical to expect that the string is validated once at the beginning, and then passed through various routines that each blindly assume their input is valid UTF-8 and guarantee to return valid UTF-8 as well if that assumption is true.

If you skip this initial validation, you open yourself to security problems caused by differences in the undefined behavior of these various routines that are assuming valid input. As an example, imagine if your code for escaping HTML saw an invalid byte sequence immediately before a "<" and failed to escape it because of that, but then the HTML parser you pass the result to treats the invalid byte sequence differently and successfully sees and parses the "<" that should have been escaped.
Why would you run a linux on these? there are much better server grade systems that linux works on.

The benefit of these devices is running MacOS, and virtualizing it is not going to give many benefits that aren’t natively available in Macos already.

We're using SQLite in production with millions of databases with many millions of operations per day. It's been nothing but great, as has always been my experience using SQLite.

But we did run into some scariness around trying to use Litestream that put me off it for the time being. Litestream is really cool (and I'm a big fan of its author!) but it is also very much a cool hack in the way it works.

The scariness I ran into was related to this issue https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/issues/510

And after a bit more fiddling I came away nervous about the possibility of corruption, which is not something I want to worry about from my backup method.

So for now we're just doing regular snapshotting with remote backups and that seems sufficient with RAID1 storage. I would like something lower latency at some point but don't have the time at the moment to work on it.

Agree. That's point. I'd rather scan a QR code that links to great photos than have a printed menu with no photos.

I didn't "just echo back the same case law". They only provided an (incomplete) citation, and no link.

I provided the full link to Wikipedia, the summary of what R v Sinclair actually established (from which readers can immediately see that Canadian right to a lawyer during questioning differs sharply from the US right), and then the Wikipedia link which discusses the history and background of the case, the ruling, and further links to the text of the decision on CanLII, etc.

That's genuinely useful missing information, which many HN readers will not bother to search for, but if you provide the links some of them may actually click through, then we collectively get a less-misinformed discussion. If instead of suggesting I intended to respond to the wrong person, you had directly asked me why I thought it useful to post this, I'd have told you that it was so other posters would inform their discussion better; it's very tiring constantly seeing discussions where posters assume any legal question is asked about US law and only US law, or worse still, simply assume that US legal principles or rule of law apply all over the world (such as anything on Canadian law, or all the discussions on privacy law).

And one extra thing: you might be assuming that merely saying "R v Sinclair" is unambiguous without including the "(2010 SCC 35)" part of the citation, but when I personally google "R v Sinclair", most hits are relevant, but #7 hit is "People v. Sinclair, 131 A.D.3d 492" and #10 hit is "Sinclair v. Sinclair :: 1969 :: Kansas Supreme Court Decisions". As we've commented ongoing in HN, google search relevance is degrading these days, so don't assume incomplete citations lead users to the right article.

Posting a link (or archive reference) is a substantial contribution to a discussion, esp. when many of the posters haven't read the topic they're discussing.
It will likely take centuries to reinvent digital ownership.

While I think NASA is the most incredible organization in human history, be wary of simple underpromising-and-overdelivering:

If everything they build lasts longer than expected, not only are they giving bad estimates (which perverts allocation of resources), they are way too smart and experienced to be doing it unintentionally.

Now if Ford Motor underpromised on your car, telling you it would last 2 years, you wouldn't buy it in the first place - you'd never find out that it really lasts 10 years. But I suspect NASA gets away with it because everyone is blown away by even the underpromised result - helicopters on Mars, holy sh-! - and also nobody has experience with how long Martian helicopters typically fly.
It is interesting to see that in Southern Urals the major nuclear manufacturing sites Chelyabinsk-40 and Zlatoust-20 (as they were named in 1956) are not targets and would not be affected, but their civilian doppelgängers would be hit. The secrecy of the Soviet nuclear program was probably quite good.
I believe there was a Planet Money (or similar) piece about this recently. There are already services to enable dynamic pricing for restaurants. E.g. on super bowl Sunday ordering wings will be more expensive. (They don't like the term "surge pricing" though:-)

However it can also go the other way and lower prices to incentivize demand during slow periods like middle afternoon.

Can't say I blame restaurants for this. As many other comments mention, it is all about having good UX
