I completely disagree with the article’s core premise. I have read voraciously for my entire life since I was a little kid. Maybe much of it wasted, yet tidbits of knowledge I have gained over the years of reading come up constantly, and give me a bit of a leg up in conversations.

HN is a big part of that, I can read about a wide array of technologies and processes and science that I normally would never encounter. And without fail, some number of those topics will come up in work conversations and I can speak somewhat intelligently on the topic.

The same is true even for fiction. Having read some semi-obscure book long ago may be a connection I have with a new acquaintance.

Again, a lot of it is wasted, it there’s no way to know exactly which bits will never come up, and which will.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll try that.

My guess is also that they use the hack as an excuse to keep people in.
1.44MB floppies were introduced in 1987, which is 37 years ago.

Surely by now all of their equipment can support IPv6 with at most a firmware upgrade?
I think even for chromium it wasn't working, but I will try again to make sure.
If you can create, then you are subject to time. This means you had a start. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
That's maybe 50 years since the first floppy disk went on sale, but certainly not 50 years since the first 3.5" floppy (and even less so the 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy) went on sale.

Still, they had a good run!
I did the same, thinking it was an article about how reading late at night isn't retained or something.
Also, just to add on, having to buy Twitter.

If he hadn't publicly knee-jerked on price and due diligence, he likely could have closed at a much lower price.

Which would have led to him maintaining more ownership of Tesla.
What percentage of their routers were acquired pre-IPv6? S3 wasn't publicly available until 2006, EC2 followed later. Was most enterprise networking equipment in the mid 2000's still without IPv6 support?

Guess I'll watch TheBloke's page until I can run his Miqu Q5 quant on my MacBook. Mixtral is my daily driver, and if this (or the newer, official) release nears GPT-4, that's a wrap for my OpenAI subscription.

The small team at Mistral is putting their competitors to shame. They're what "Open"AI should've been.
Why do i love this so much
I snagged a cheap bench press and squat rack and a huge set of weights on Craigslist. I decided I would get back into a basic lifting routine I did in high school and asked some friends who do that. I quickly was engulfed with endless articles and information.

I have decided to eschew any learning and stick with "Me big caveman. lift big rock get stronger" approach and it's working fine. Taking it easy, enjoying it, and not worrying too much about anything else.

It's more refreshing to REFUSE information than to consume it.

> every ARM vendor other than Apple has failed to move the needle on ARM performance since 2017

You must mean, performance relative to Intel, not absolute performance. Clearly Qualcomm has improved Snapdragon over time as have a number of other Android SOC vendors.

But I wonder if it's even true, have ARM vendors other than Apple failed to move the needle on performance (let's call performance single thread geekbench) relative to Intel? If someone is up for tracking down all the numbers I'd read that blog post. :)
Well, you don't have to quit to apply, right?

But, it's a bad market, especially for junior.
I think this is a shallow article.

First, just in time manufacturing has the noted weakness of having no slack or resilience in the system. This is part of why we experienced supply chain disruption during the pandemic.

Second, it is assuming that knowledge that's not being 'used' right now in production environment is useless.

For example, the way people avoid scam and snake-oil medicine is not by directly knowing every single piece of science but having a broad knowledge enough of the world to know that it's probably scammy. I don't need to know much about virology to understand that drinking bleach is probably a bad idea for fighting viral infection.

Third, most of what he's going to read is probably not real knowledge, or difficult to obtain unless experienced or acquired directly. Some things you can only learn via doing. Some things you can only learn through systemized research. How many of these books about entrepeneurship only apply to their specific situation, or specific context? How many are simply scam?

What I think is helpful, however, is to cultivate curiosity about the world, in all things that you can. It's probably helpful to your career if you focus your curiosity on specific things you need to do, but that's not the only thing worth learning. I think I want to focus on things that make me a better engineer and build a successful business, so maybe 60-70% for that, and the rest for play and passion and just love of learning.

Edit: added a missing no as pointed out by someone.
I'm assuming she has an editor
There is no way AWS has any equipment that is not IPv6-ready. These things are replaced about every 5 years or so. I bet it's all software that assumes IPv4, which is arguably worse.
EXACTLY. Elon Musk is the biggest welfare queen on the planet for crying out loud. You have to be absolutely clueless to think the homeless or incarcerated have any democratic power in the US.
Consider a 100 x 101 grid (101 rows and 100 columns). Each row is a possible urn (from 0 green balls to 100 green balls). The columns correspond to the 100 balls in each urn. The rows are sorted by ascending number of green balls, and the columns are sorted by red balls first. Reduced to 10 x 11, this would be:

RRRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRRRG
RRRRRRRRGG
RRRRRRRGGG
RRRRRRGGGG
RRRRRGGGGG
RRRRGGGGGG
RRRGGGGGGG
RRGGGGGGGG
RGGGGGGGGG
GGGGGGGGGG

The rows are parallel universes, each of them equally likely. When you draw the first ball, the universes each split into 100 also equally likely universes, corresponding to which of the 100 balls you drew. So each of the 10100 grid cells represents a possible universe you can find yourself in, each equally likely.

When you draw red, you know that you are somewhere in the upper left triangle of Rs, which each R being equally likely.

RRRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRR
RRRRRRR
RRRRRR
RRRRR
RRRR
RRR
RR
R

It’s clear that you are more likely to be in the upper half of that triangle, because it contains more Rs. In fact, because there are 5050 Rs, and the upper 30 rows have 2565 Rs (I’m applying the triangle-number formula n * (n + 1) / 2), you’re more likely to be within the upper 30 rows (urns) than the lower 70 rows (urns), and hence it is clearly more likely that the second ball you draw is again red rather than green. (Though visualizing this further split of universes would require a 3rd dimension.)
I leave up articles for days hoping I'll read them, they pile up in my tabs— wasting so much memory. A lot of pc memory is wasted from just this on my end and I know I'm not the only one.

It's interesting to think about how much wasted energy comes from tabs you're leaving open, hoping you'll get back to them one day.
And I would make sure it had complete feature parity with IPv4 (DHCP, VRRP etc) instead of embarking on a religious crusade to reinvent the way devices connect.

It took over a decade to get feature parity from the non-network-operators that overtook the IETF, and that seriously delayed IPv6 adoption.
The potential number of edge cases in IPv4-only hardware is staggering.
> Not sure about others, but I am not gonna trust that person to manage my .local network regardless.

"Corporate bureaucracies are infallible" is an extremely unrealistic assumption.

> Much less headache than managing a bunch of made up domains and their weird internal name server configs.

How is an internal domain weirder to configure or less made up than a public one?
And that was a big problem for them a couple of years ago.
I noticed that mixing a 2 word item with something else will often combine the words instead of looking at the meaning:

super volcano + man = super human

but then it breaks if you mix further:

super human + giraffe = super giraffe ?
Still has the same issue.

If someone watches one Blue's Clues video, ten more are recommended afterwards.

I want a more diverse set of recommendations from a smaller set of educational channels.

And I want to filter entirely by keyword. Disabling individual channels for something like 'Minecraft' content is futile.
Genesis (MD), Sega (Mega) CD, Saturn, Dreamcast. The Master System was kind of a bust in North America so I don't carry very much nostalgia for it.

I love each of these consoles in their own way, by some combination of their own merits and my own associations of them.

The first game I ever played (or at least the first I remember) was Sonic 2, at a demo kiosk at a Canadian Tire while my mom was shopping. That's the sort of thing which sticks with you forever. At home we ended up getting an SNES, and although the SNES' highs were clearly higher than anything Sega put out, I think the average Genesis game holds up better (and it certainly has incredible gems of its own). The faster and easier to work with CPU, I think, gave devs a bit more breathing room; the FM synth has an iconic, crunchy, aggressive, alien sound that's way cooler than the canned, fuzzy, plinky soundscape of so many poorly-made SNES scores (of course, again: the best SNES soundtracks are sublime). You could put Go Straight from SoR2 on at a club now and get the dance floor going. The only thing about it that's dated badly is that it really, really could've used a richer colour palette.

As a kid I never had a Sega CD, but I did have a Windows 3.1 computer, and it feels part-and-parcel with that era of "multimedia". It's all nostalgia, but I love the grainy look of the FMV, the very particular abstract and geometric style of the CGI of the era, the metallic sheen of those digital CD soundtracks. It's got some fantastic games, too: Sonic CD is a classic, and Lunar 2 (particularly if you can read Japanese and don't need to endure everything Working Designs did to it) is, as far as I'm concerned, up there with FF6 and Chrono Trigger as a definitive 16-bit JPRG.

I of course understand why the Playstation won the 32-bit era, it's a better system than the Saturn with better games overall. But the Saturn has some absolute classics (again, Japanese knowledge helps here). It's not a system that I had much experience with at the time - except, again, for some time spent at a department store kiosk with Nights, which entranced me - but it's come to me to feel like the more interesting, mysterious machine than the Playstation.

The Dreamcast feels more like the end of the 32-bit era than the start of the next-gen: a 32-bit system with next-gen performance. To me the quintessential Dreamcast game is fast, buttery smooth, vibrant, colourful. Again, it's easy to see why the PS2 came out on top, but looking back now I see the PS2 era more as a trial run for "modern" gaming - dark, muddy, slow, clumsy versions of the sort of games we're playing now; whereas the Dreamcast was home to the absolute best of the games we were playing then.
The judge found that "At least as to this transaction, Musk controlled Tesla".

Meaning that Musk directed the creation of the compensation package, not that the compensation committee were merely biased. The analysis of this is on pages 103-146 of the ruling.
It's also pretty good at lots of combos. If you asked a human to come up with all of these, it'd be pretty hard.
What a silly notion. Criminals use fake/stolen IDs all the time. This'd only serve to make surveillance worse for normal people, while criminals would be undeterred.
I've been struggling to read nonfiction lately because so much of the content seems to be rehashed from other sources and leans heavily into persuasion of some greater point that gets bashed into your brain for 400 pages. It's like every book copied Malcolm Gladwell's style and it's too much for me. Am I just reading the wrong books?
Nobody's death is being "weaponized". Using a funeral as an example is quite abstracted from actual death and not a rude behavior.

And yes, your comments do come across as declaring yourself "too cool" to care.
"Bummer of a birthmark, Hal" has made its way into my everyday lexicon. Most of my coworkers immediately got the reference. There is something about Far Side humor that appeals to people in tech beyond all the science and nerd jokes.
If you have read anything about logistics in the last few year, you would have realized that shifting everything to a just in time logistics is probably a bad idea in case of disruption. It's a spectrum, and it shows by analogy why you want a broad range of knowledge, not just hyper focused on your career.
A human did not write this comment, right?
Yeah, I'm never too sure how to date such websites, so I just go with the latest update.
No, it was leaked, against my consent.

The government doing something against my personal safety and consent in the name of the law doesn't make it not a leak.
Ah, yeah, wasn't clear to me. I think most people are probably too busy or don't know where to get started to bring a claim themselves, though.

Ideally, the people we pay to represent us in government would actually represent our interests and that'd be how we deal with things like this.
It's funny how the original phrase sounds like it was generated by chatgpt. I'd guess the reason they didn't phrase it how you suggest is they probably thought that people who don't know what quantization means aren't going to be happy if you throw precision numerics at them. I don't knwo why they didn't just say "some of the numbers are rounded" though.

> the closest thing that people can think of to a solution is "biometrics," which immediately raises lots of privacy concerns.

Is using FaceID a privacy concern? This mechanism can be built into phones much like passkeys.
But without specifying what policy specifically and what post and specific wording violated said policy it's all nonsense. So who cares if it's 12 million a 100 million or two at the end of the day it is arbitrary unless there are specific named violations that can be applied in a non-arbitrary way.
There are so many issues when it comes to ID verification to access online services:

- How do we check this information is accurate? It could be a fake ID, photoshopped, or just a friend's ID.

- What system is in place to verify it is correct? As every US state uses different ID systems, would online platforms need 50 different ID systems to verify them?

- What about people who don't have an ID?

- What about other countries with different regulations or just don't have a national ID at all? America, Australia, the UK, Canada, Denmark, Japan, India, etc all don't use national IDs.

- Where is this information stored? If, like you say, Meta is responsible for IDing those posting illegal material to their platform, then Meta will need to keep the ID information on file. What happens if they are hacked? Does that mean that now my name, height, weight, eye color, address, organ donor status, etc are now available to anyone with 15 minutes of free time and an onion browser? I can't imagine any company's legal team would ever allow that information to be stored on company servers.

Their heart (and yours) are in the right place, but this is not the way to do it. This puts everyone at risk of very damaging consequences from one well-executed attack. And will most likely never be able to be implemented properly across the US, let alone worldwide.
Not in the field, but i would assume the data is combined to create profiles to be used to infer data about other people with similar data, so now they have dna into the profiling mix. And in combined I mean the rest of your digital footprint from other sources, not a survey on 23
What disturbs me is these people are all angry with a complete lack of an outlook or any attempt to discover the root of the problem and create a solution. The reason young people have been detrimented by social media is because of multiple different fundemental issues.

1. Most kids and teenagers have unmonitored access to the Internet

2. Parents don't see the harm in any of this because it gets them to shut up

3. Maybe it's because of where I'm from (Alabama) but most kids come from bad home lives and mostly cope with it negatively

4. The age of not having to be somewhat technologically adequate to use the Internet since it's now behind flashy colorful locked down bricks has only made technology and society worse, but this is just my personal opinion

5. The algorithms of these platforms are engineered to promote this horrid content due to the boosts in user engagement and therefore ad-revenue, and almost all humanity and sympathy is completely lost in publicly traded companies owned by shareholders that care about nothing

Attaching ID confirmation to use TikTok or Youtube or whatever is a duct-tape fix when parents will just scan their ID so their kids will shut up. ID confirmation to use online social networks is in my honest opinion a major violation of freedom in exchange for a little bit of security (remember what Ben Franklin said?). The Internet is the place where you throw vile insults at someone 8 states away on a multiplayer game, buy those weird books you like and get a second perspective on the dumb exhaust mod you're doing on your car, we don't need to know who you are. For additional context, I'm 15 nearing 16, so maybe I'm just spiteful out of angst.
for the kinds of discussions I have it is very close

I often have discussions about political topics that I don’t have a complete history on, things that are hard to get a non-emotional non-accusative response from in a forum or in person, licensing questions about obscure professions, liability questions, roleplays without the preachiness about the topic, coding, brand ideas and naming

Lots of stuff that I dont want in any cloud or sent online, but then it just became second nature to primarily use it.

the hallucinations are heavier. like it will give you specific links that it made up, and never apologize like chatgpt will, it will say “no, thats a real link” so, much more of a bullshitter

LM Studio makes it easy to change the temperament though with a variety of premade system prompts, or allowing custom ones very easily

I mainly use ChatGPT4 for multimodal like audio conversations, figuring a DIY problem out by sending it a photo of what I’m looking at, having it render photos on how to use something - I was at a gym and had it look at every piece of equipment there and tell me what it was and show me how a human would use it

(I notice this is at odds with another comment, I havent used ChatGPT3.5 in nearly a year, but my experience with ChatGPT4 on the aforementioned topics is similar to my output in mixtral)

I dread the day I have to give up my 04 Outback. Love the layout of the controls and the easy adjustments. More and more I’ve been doing my own repairs which gives me great satisfaction. This last Monday I changed out the alternator. The vehicle still gives me great pleasure to drive.
I can answer that from experience (just built a couple Q&A style sites), although a bit subjectively.

Compared with the GPTs, Mixtral (and derivatives) perform:

* 5% of the time as good as GPT4

* 75% of the time on par with GPT3.5

* 20% of the time a bit worse than GPT3.5 (too chatty and hallucinates with ease, although one could argue a better prompt could improve things a lot)

Advantages of Mixtral, for me:

* Cost 10-100x cheaper

* Faster completion time

* More deterministic output, in the sense that if you run the same query several times you get the same answers back (but they could be wrong). GPT almost always gives me an answer of great quality BUT with a lot of variance across them; even with temperature set to zero. This is a PITA when you want some sort of predictable, structured output like a JSON object.
It's bad. Between H1B workers taking all the jobs, AI, seasonal slows, and the economy collapsing, it's rough out there. I have friends that are 100's of applications deep without a peep. Easier if you're not white, but hard regardless
Audio ultimately leads to a 1D data track. Ways to play that track is comparatively well understood, and well abstracted from the workload itself. We've been using 3.5mm jack at scale since the original Walkman, for example. That's 1979.

Graphics on the other hand constantly changes. Apple II around the same timeframe had 280×192 resolution -not even 4:3 aspect ratio- and 16 color that only existed because of a hack in the NTSC spec. Now we have dozen different common aspect ratios, 2 common sizes that we have to support (mobile and monitor), dozens of different resolutions, running on thousands of different hardware, that are near impossible to test the combination of their configurations, let alone the variety of behavior that comes from their software - the list is just endless.

Audio is played by speakers, there isn't much variance. Graphics on the other hand changes constantly, and most of those changes result in throwing out a lot of software. The situation is so incredibly bad that most cross platform products threw the towel and resorted to using perhaps the second most complicated software humanity ever devised - the browser - instead of trying to get a window and a button to work on 2 different operating systems.

And don't even get me started on prints :)
hey author here! glad you like it. i didnt intend the article to be "anti command line" or "anti anything". rather "pro empathy" :)

the "luxury of simplicity" is a quote from tom macwright's blog post: https://macwright.com/2023/12/31/luxury-of-simplicity
Yeah this story is missing all context - what "supervisors" are, what his beef with them was, etc.
There's a fundamental challenge in simply not knowing at the reading point in time whether this knowledge will be valuable in the future.

The reason read-it-later apps exist is because we want to buy the insurance policy that IF there is a future situation in which the information is useful, we have it saved somewhere to access it.

The reality is, even if you have saved it at some point, there's no guarantee you'll be able to remember the knowledge when you need it.

This is precisely the problem I'm building a solution for.
I think Death + Obama also yields it. You can get Dino-Trump and T-Rump.
I wondered about that myself. Thought perhaps it was possible they were in Japan for over a decade, perhaps at quite a high price, until Apple introduced them to America. Thanks for the post, the reporter got it wrong.
For sure, and they would have been found really quickly. But in either case, it would involve fixing or upgrading the hardware or software, which is true whether we do it with extra numbers or the whole new scheme for IPv6.
