Starlink was originally a google idea, originally a sister project to Loon, the founder quit and brought his team to SpaceX and then got fired by Elon. Everyone who repeats this story to me says it was because "Elon doesn't suffer fools" but YMMV.
Uh-huh, precisely, in Paris.
I wonder how much of the burnout is due to the big companies laying off people. A lot of open source developers have been affected. Seeing these companies use the open source products they worked on and then laying them off while they make big profits has got to be pretty disheartening.

Having a query like this that gets slower as the queue gets bigger is a really bad idea. It'll work just fine in the steady state when your queue is short. And then when you get overloaded and start queueing, you will be adding more load into the equation just to drain the queue. It's a recipe for a metastable system that causes a major outage. Adding an index on tenant_id will do nothing because you are always appending the current timestamp before hashing.
They don’t tho The, not really. Very few of those parts are actually made by the automaker. They’re by Bosch, AC Delco, or any of the thousands of OEMs of brake pads, fuel injectors, and what have you. If actually try to buy a new exact OEM replacement for anything past about 10-15 years old, you probably aren’t. Instead you’ll be dealing with some 3rd tier anonymous vendor making clones.
Huh, I always took their rationale for having the .class -> .dex compilation step at face value (i.e. space efficiency due to shared string literals etc.), but this actually makes more sense, given that J2ME seemingly was fine without it on much more lightweight hardware.
Eight years is forever, we can wait.

Five years is a long time, let’s work on other things.

> is it really that big a deal

yes, at least as long as you constantly develop new AI models

and you still need to run the models, and e.g. for GPT4 that is alone already non trivial (energy cost/compute wise)

through for small LLMs if they are not run too much it might be not that bad

---

Generally I would always look for ulterior motives for any "relevant" public statement Sam Altman makes. As history has shown there often seems to be some (through in that usage "ulterior" has a bit too much of a "bad"/"evil" undertone).

To cut it short he seem to be invested in some Nuclear Fusion company, which is one of the potential ways to "solve" that problem. Another potential way is to use smaller LLMs but smaller LLMs can also be potentially a way how OpenAI loses their dominant position, as there is a much smaller barrier for training them.
You can in Javascript - but with the caveat that the keys can only be strings.

Without that, if Python allowed it, would it do given:

a = "xxx"
test_dict = {a=3, b=2}

would it take test_dict to mean {"xxx":3, "b":2} or {"a":3, "b":2} ?

JS does the latter always, so the variable a is not related to the literal key a which is understood as an unquoted string "a":

> a = "xxx"
'xxx'
> test_dict = {a:3, b:2}
{ a: 3, b: 2 }
> test_dict["xxx"]
undefined
> test_dict["a"]

I don't find planned obsolescence isn't a very convincing theory for something like a blender.

It makes sense for them to cheap out to save money, or to not think too hard about design for reliability beyond any guarantee or statutory warranty period.

But it doesn't make sense for them to deliberately design stuff to fail after 3 years. There is no vendor lock in for a blender. If it fails after three years, the number of people giving more custom to the same manufacturer must be miniscule, surely?
Who was that? Can't find anything about it.
Insects may feel pain, says growing evidence
I've implemented this type of 'spoofing' system. Nothing happened. It was super valuable, both for the customers and the customer success team. Long as there is an audit log, things should be OK until a certain scale is reached.

Also most companies have a backoffice that should provide access to the information and possibility to apply actions to the state. So just giving access to this information in a more limited way that mimicks the customer's view is a no brainer for early-stage.

* Small company; two-sided marketplace with some hundreds of thousands on one side, and some tens of thousands on the other, so rather small scale.
Maybe half an hour is long but I'd say, if a kid doesn't take the school bus, it's probably not that out of the norm.
On a main drag here, with concentration of nightlife, and also a concentration of street people, one upscale fast-food place started going cash-free at night.

I don't know whether that was because they were concerned about robberies, or because they didn't want any of the street people sitting in there and making it less attractive. (Like in another nearby fast-food place.)

Cash-free can be a conscious way to avoid serving much of a socioeconomic demographic you don't want to serve. A bit like the past practice of refusing to serve certain racial/ethnic groups, and posting signs stating that.

If it is easy, it is not innovation. You're not finding and improving a thing then. True innovation requires novelty and effort. Even smallest innovative projects require many many thoughts and redesigns until they become even an MVP.

The US tech giants were coasting and amassing compound wealth without by innovating but buying the innovative companies or disregarding a basic human right: privacy.

True innovation is and should be difficult and it shouldn't come at the cost of human rights that people has fought over for centuries, sometimes with their own blood.
They only have to transition their external communications, they can keep their 90's DB2 databases that cost millions/(MB*year) just fine.
I've done this, though having even a range of numbers draws hyperfixation and scales poorly. Something relative (like $ = we could eat it and not blink but would rather not, $$$$ = this rescues the quarter) is enough.
Doing it at all requires those things too!

They said it would ruin the value but did it? Did the people using it as a war machine car about the decals or any paint damage?
That's the opportunity the competition is waiting for
not only do many people not want to be startups, many people struggle (and fail) to understand the administrative office jobs they currently have.

It is important to remember that innovation doesn't raise all boats, even if it raises the average boat. Some will sink, along with their crew.

We comfortably laugh at the resistant luddites, but many of them died impoverished, were shot, or hung.

That shouldn't be a condemnation of innovation, but simply to point out that there are real winners and losers.
> However, a replacement for the traditional HT is likely to come in the form of Rentable Units, a more efficient pseudo-multi-threaded solution that splits the first thread of incoming instructions into two partitions, assigning them to different cores based on complexity. Rentable Units will use timers and counters to measure P/E core utilization and send parts of the thread to each core for processing.

Intuit is an embarrassment of a tech company. Instead of innovating in software, they've invested infinitely more in lobbying to keep tax-filing complex and in creating new and innovative dark patterns to obscure their (federally mandated, btw) free product.
If you want to implement the suggested changes across your codebase, you can use the `flake8` plugin `flake8-comprehensions`, or `ruff`'s `C4` ruleset, which is an implementation of `flake8-comprehensions`.
On one hand there's that risk. On the other hand, Apple has a track record that seems to inspire commitment that few other companies can. If an app released early gains early success it may have significant longer term returns for an up-front risk. Since this is an unproven platform, early success will come with additional trust, which will further help chances that people will use your app later.
The radio chipset from Qualcomm is what is enabling the satellite connectivity so I'm sure they already have it factored in.

Anyone designing Open Source spare boards for washing machines and other household appliances could make a fortune just by charging for the substitution alone. There's a huge market out there as original spare parts are absurdly overpriced. Not to mention the number of repaired appliances that won't be thrown away.
Luckily, washing and laundry machines are easy to repair with generic replacement parts. My LG washer had an issue with water valve selenoids, I replaced them for under $35 (the repair man asked $300). Also, my Whirlpool washer had an issue with basket rails. $9 fix from amazon.

The bigger concern is probably smaller electronics as plastic parts are easily replaced and found on marketplaces.
without further details or a comprehensive overview of the technology and strategies employed by the Debris-fed Satellite, it is challenging to provide a thorough critique.

I don't understand the form factor in this space. When walkmans were popular no one was trying to mount the tape decks to our heads. Couldn't they make some glasses that only had displays and run everything (battery, compute, etc) from a phone that was WIRED to the glasses?

No mattery how much advancement in microprocessor and display tech happens I'll never want the weight of a battery on my face. Heck, normal glasses are heavy enough without adding any extra bulk. So until medium range wireless power transmission that can be safely beemed at my head becomes a reality I think someone should work on optimizing a portable wired solution.
People writing these articles have zero intention of being accurate and entire attention to snagging clicks from the building hype. They don't care about anything so long as there is a quick buck to be made from fake claims

That seems very similar to ARM introducing an instruction set that can be used to efficiently implement common Java idioms to me, just that x86 bytecode wasn't explicitly conceived as a VM target.
The number of people that want to be part of a start-up is limited, the number of people that want the responsibility that comes with being an entrepreneur is further limited. Those people that would like to be entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs, the rest is more than happy to just have a job and a stable life. Risk appetite and willingness to hyperfocus on one thing at the expense of the rest, including quality of life is something that varies widely from one individual to another.

HN is not an 'average' in this sense at all, more likely an extreme outlier. This is also why the 'gig economy' is such a huge step back.
> This decision is the result of a biased and broken system where the Commission serves as accuser, judge, jury, and then appellate judge all in the same case

Interesting argument, but also a distraction from "we lied in advertising."

They ran an ad during the 49ers game this weekend, centered around it being free for the character in the ad. I'm guessing that's how they'll work around this.
I have a stainless garbage can from Kohler that has a ten year warranty. Appx. four years into owning it, the plastic lid hinge snapped.

Costco told me take it up with the manufacturer. Kohler had a page buried on their website helpfully detailing a Kafkaesque process to send them an RMA request to a physical mailing address, with no info on what to send, no forms, etc.

Instead, I modeled a replacement in OpenSCAD in ~30 minutes, and printed it in glass filled nylon (PA6). Can is still going strong.
Chime isn't a bank... but they provide bank accounts via bank partners "Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. or Stride Bank, N.A., Members FDIC". These bank accounts are still subject to all of the same regulations as any other bank account. Venmo and PayPal don't always store funds in real bank accounts, so they may have some different regulations for those funds, but they still have to comply with many of the same regulations.

We aren’t miserable. Lots of us are quite happy alone. My own company is pretty nice, or the company of a book.

Only if you can stand the format. Even when (maybe especially when) they cover a topic that I'm interested in, I find it infuriating to listen to.

It's filled with endless repetition and rephrasing of the same thing over and over again. For example here's a snippet from a transcript:

JENN: ... to see if he can find anything in the interstitium that's happening that could explain this. And he finds ...

QIUSHENG CHEN: Telocytes.

INTERPRETER: Telocytes?

QIUSHENG CHEN: Telocytes.

INTERPRETER: Telocytes.

JENN: ... these cells ...

JENN: Oh, telocytes.

QIUSHENG CHEN: Yeah.

JENN: Telocytes, yes.

JENN: ... called telocytes, which are a newly-discovered cell ...

The whole thing is like that, where they take something that could have been a single sentence and stretch it out over 3, 5, even 10 minutes of repetition and unnecessary detail and throughout all of it they randomly insert stock audio and sound effects of things that don't matter to the content at all. Like someone will say they went into work and the audio abruptly cuts to 15-30 seconds of nothing but the ambient sounds of an office environment.

The transcript might be easier for some to tolerate. The anesthesia episode doesn't seem to be too bad in terms of the number of sentence fragments, repetitions, and pointless interjections as some episodes. Even as transcripts some are extremely frustrating to extract information from.

What an incredibly elaborate argument.
conversely, money early on in life is worth more than money later on in life. This can be especially true once you get into a house you're happy with.

Your housing expenses are likely to be your single largest (fixed) expense, so if someone can work hard for a few years and buy a place, it's a lot easier to coast on lower paying jobs.

Yes, the birth rates are higher where the birth rates are higher, but you could do this with any city - find some enclave that's doing better than the rest on whatever metric.

I also feel like there is a hidden assumption here, that people were interested in the one-way-speed to see if it is Newtonian additive, like it is "c +/- a tiny little bit from the earth's motion around the sun". It seems like with a sufficiently slow separation of the two clocks, you should be able to see if the you get "0.1c" in one orientation, and "1.9c" in the other. Especially since the Lorentz factor is non-linear [ √(1 - (v²/c²)) ]. Right? ???
TBH a lot of consumer stuff doesn't really benefit from hyperthreading. And thats if the scheduling is working perfectly.

You mostly want it for, say, low IPC server database workloads where the cores are largely just sitting there, twiddling their thumbs waiting for something from DRAM, where the very fancy branch predictors and cache hierarchies we have now can't help much.

I think a $3,500 price tag is laughable, as is the idea that it could replace an actual computer while still needing to be light enough for long-term use and run off a battery, but I'm sold on the AR thing.

What changed it for me was trying out the Meta Quest 3 and moving around panels in 3D space. And they'd stay there! As if they really existed irl! You could have as many "monitors" as you want (in practice).

Perhaps I'll seem naive, but surely it only makes sense to judge a tax in comparison the taxes it could replace.

Is taxing consumption better or worse than taxing earned income?

The total level of taxation is a different question.
I don’t think SMT makes much sense if you have enough cores to more than max out the power envelope of the socket when they all run at max frequency. You can then dynamically tune the system to get as close to the power envelope as possible with the available threads by adjusting the power usage of each core. Also the cores would be simpler. Meaning more power efficient and potentially eliminate some attack vectors as mentioned earlier in this thread.

As mentioned before in this thread, I've implemented this for an early stage startup with some hundreds of thousands of users. It was a game changer in terms of helping our customers with some processes, and us understanding the shortfalls of our UX.

On one hand, I have a backoffice that gives access to the staff to everything related to the customers, but on the other hand I'm supposed to believe that being able to 'impersonate' a customer is this highway to hell? As long as an audit log is held about who did what, this can go a long way forward.

I've been using python for 11 years bud. I know all the idioms. When I say it's a bad language, it's coming from years of experience using it in production environments. But yeah the problem is I never learned a language I've probably written more code in than any other language.

The ternary is just one example. It's not confusing, it's just indicative of the philosophy of python's design, and it's hardly the worst example.
