People definitely like to spout doom and gloom, but that doesn't avoid the fact that OpenAI is actually trying to develop artificial intelligence.

Ignore the fear mongering or political/military concerns for a moment. There are very real questions that have to be answered, from logistical questions like how we'll recognize when we develop an intelligence or the moral questions like does an AI have rights similar to humans.

Diamond nanobots ripping us apart to repurpose our atoms isn't a terribly useful conversation. But whether anyone can own an AI, whether turning one off is murder, or whether AIs deserve all the same rights and humans absolutely are. IMO those should have been prerequisites before we even considered questions like how to align an AI or risks of their existence, we shouldn't be going down that road at all if we're setting ourselves up to get caught with our pants down.
Atom was hot garbage, what the hell are you on. Vim is cool but also not an IDE, NeoVim is what you could compare to. Why not VSCode?
NVIDIA doesn't have competition
This completely ignores how businesses treat Discover & American Express card holders.

Sure, your average coffee shop with a square stand that pays an inflated flat percentage rate does not care what card you tap, but any small business that that is using a payment processor that provides interchange pricing or qualified pricing is directly affected by experiencing double the cost to process your average discover or American Express card, and many will happily tell you they much prefer you to pay with cash, failing that debit, then Visa or MasterCard credit, due to the cost of processing.

This merger also affects other oddball cards like JCB and Diners Club Card that ride on Discover's rails.

One other aspect of this is Visa and MasterCard have been getting crazy with the interchange fees on their most premium credit card types, making American Express and Discover's standard rates look reasonable in comparison: https://www.creditdonkey.com/interchange-rates.html#visa

I had a conversation with a friend where he suggested that he had had a broad range of experiences just from gaming. I think the context was a conversation about how experiences in life can expand you — something like that.

The whole premise bothered me though.

I can remember a bike ride where I was experiencing the onset of heat stroke and had to make quick decisions to perhaps save my life.

I remembered decades ago lost in Michigan's upper peninsula with the wife, on apparently some logging road and the truck getting into deeper and deeper snow as we proceeded until I made the decision to instead turn around and go back the way we came lest we become stranded in the middle of nowhere.

I remember having to use my wits, make difficult decisions while hitchhiking from Anchorage, Alaska to the lower 48 when I was in my early twenties....

The actual world, the chance of actual death, strangers, serendipity ... no amount of VR or AI really compares.

Forget the multiplier compared to OpenAI, Nvidia's valuation compared to their own financials are completely insane. I'm not sure where we lost the road, but valuations are completely disconnected from profits and total revenue.
Sorry poor terminology use on my part. I mean more broadly that most energy is used on frontend and middle end, rather than backend and that this is what vectorisation improves in regards to energy consumption. Register renaming and branch prediction energy consumption should be improved in the same factor as decoding. Caching probably less so (depending if we are talking instruction, data or combined).

I don’t think inter-core communication is too relevant when comparing vectored and non-vectored on a single core, but definitely would be when batching across multiple cores.

(Possibly Geolocked to Australia) trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13_rJVvxx_g

I spend time with my 89 year father helping him split wood (5 tonnes every few months), shovel manure (overfilling a double axle trailer), delivering MealsOnWheels to less able seniors, track maintainance (he caretakes 15 km of a 1,000 km walking track).

It's kind of exhausting keeping up.

That said he built a fall resistent home 30 years ago that's all single level with wide verandah patio on a sloped block where every level has ramped access for wheelbarrows, wheelie bins, and eventually wheelchairs.

Best advice? Get active and stay active.

Hi! 100% Hasura is what you need! This is our calling card, I work for Hasura and if you need instant CRUD on your database, new or existing you can’t go wrong with Hasura.

It’s kind of like PostGrest with GraphQL.

It does exactly what you want, you have a database with models and it gives you endpoints for CRUD in GraphQL and you can RESTify any GraphQL to make it into a REST endpoint as well.

It does it by introspecting the database then generating a schema, and the OSS GraphQL-engine that runs Hasura compiles the GraphQL directly to SQL.

I think there are 2-3 different things going on here:

(1) Yishan is a master troll in the style of some of the very best from Usenet and old Slashdot. Every few months you'll see him pop out a other banger tweet with 2M+ views just for the glee of the engagement. (He wrote the 'best Paris baguette' counterfactual tweet for example.)

(2) Yishan is also very good at using those troll style skills to shift the Internet user media zeitgeist. Think like Paul G's "submarine PR" but for the median reddittor opinion instead of the press. He famously shifted the opinion on /u/ekjp with just 2 or 3 well crafted posts. Hard to remember how much that crowd hates her and how they've mellowed now.

(3) Yishan has also said, I think with total sincerity and outside any kayfabe, that his wife has long covid and that he's very sensitive to the serious long term health issues she developed. See e.g. https://twitter.com/yishan/status/1571393616928714752

I don't doubt the sincerity of his beliefs here.
Yeah it helps if you're really into some niche gaming community (eg, retro game randomizers), but in my ~30 years of being extremely online, my closest online friends have pretty much all come from small Twitch streams and their associated Discords.
Thanks for providing more detail, I'm happy to agree that some of the characters were very dubious, but I think you're misreading some parts regarding whether the NCB owned the mines:

> Coal reserves were nationalised during the war in 1942 and placed under the control of the Coal Commission, but the mining industry remained in private hands.

This quote is in the background section of the Wikipedia article - the NCB was formed 4 years later and "took over the United Kingdom's collieries on 'vesting day', 1 January 1947" as described.

The legislation (in particular the first subsections of each of [1] and [2]) support this, the previous owners were compensated, but did not own the coal mines after the vesting day.

We’re also finally getting games that have genuinely good writing in them, not just writing that’s good for the sliding scale that usually applies to interactive media.

- NORCO is a meditation on death and survivorship with meanderings into environmentalism and groupthink/cult thinking
> I admit I wouldn't have said #3 part B so absolutely; I wonder if there are edge cases.

Sort of. There isn't a semantic difference between direct and indirect objects (there are some tendencies). Latin verbs with a prefix very commonly take indirect objects where you would expect a direct one. It's pretty normal (for us) to just think of that situation as the verb taking its object in a weird case; I have no idea how the Romans thought about it.†

As a matter of technical terminology, those are just the definitions of transitive and intransitive verbs. How you apply the concept of "direct object" may vary from language to language. In English a direct object is one that is an otherwise unmarked object of a verb (assuming we're happy with our ability to identify those) and an indirect object is one marked by a preposition. In Latin a direct object is one that appears in the accusative case, and an indirect object is one in the dative case. In Mandarin Chinese direct objects are unmarked and most typically appear after the verb, while indirect objects are marked with a preposition and appear before the verb... but if you want to rearrange the elements of a sentence, there is a preposition of this kind that serves no other purpose than to allow a direct object to be positioned before the verb.

† This is a hazier situation than occurs with deponent verbs, where the evidence is very strong that the verbs "really are" active in Latin despite requiring grammatically passive forms.

lowkey smart pointers are often just used to deflect the responsibility of thinking about memory layouts

> Is VSCode really all that "controlled by Microsoft"?

Yep. VSCode "core" is open source, but many of the official extensions aren't (Python, C#, Live Share, Dev Containers IIRC). Besides, accessing the extension marketplace from a non-official vscode build is against their terms of service, meaning forks like vscodium don't have easy access to most extensions.
Meanwhile, you also get to contend with noisy neighbors causing the CPU steal, exhausting disk, ram & network I/O, and similar depredations, all while being at the mercy of a help desk that is often less responsive than a server you control yourself.

Or you can pay significantly less and get way more dedicated resources if your amenable to a monthly billing model and not using the ability to scale way up and scale way down to control infrastructure costs in the cloud.
I'm not sure I got an answer to the question in the title. Prettier is rock solid because it was based on a paper by someone who designed Haskell? That's a cool link, but I'm not sure what the insight is, is this evidence that functional programming-style algorithms lead to a more stable codebase?

$20-ish dollars for a well written 800 page manual is worth well worth it for stuff like this. old tractors are simpler, 100% hardware, but not really ever easy to work on. i wish it was free, but it's way better than a > $100 paper copy. i think there's just not enough people needing and sharing these to create a market that competes with the $20-ish price point.

The only thing having an "education" signals is conformity to mediocrity.

Yeah. An entire society is inflating its value and its capabilities. And that's a serious error to have for a planet.

So, maybe someone like Richard Feynman isn't really someone to look up to? Maybe you should be looking down on people like him? Considering his type is all about "education, science, and development."
At least from what I've seen and how I've seen others use LLMs, the general consensus seems to be that they're useful for the basics today but are more of a promising tech than something that's already landed.

If OpenAI features were to freeze at what we have today I would be surprised if the company stayed around without a major pivot.

Again I'm in no on way saying this is actually the case, only a hypothetical since the tech is still very new and we don't know what we don't know.

It's worth noting that the IEEE 802.3 standards are legally freely available, if you want to go for the definitive reference: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/browse/standards/get-program/page...

Once you get over the copious standardese, and the fact that the standards describe some things that seem like a good idea yet have never been implemented (e.g. 100BASE-T2), they are a good source of very detailed and authoritative information.
I’m not sure what that would even mean. It definitely intends but maybe there are some edge cases where it has no opinion - like a long function signature with too many parameters it leaves alone unless you manually start new lining things

VSCode extension store are controlled by MS, think it has being mentioned here on HN as on the control point. I don't totally avoid VSCode, but would ONLY use it as VSCodium and extensions that works in that.

It is not that hard to believe that "Microsoft also wanted as many developers as possible to do all their coding using an editor controlled by Microsoft" Seems like pretty standard MS practice.
If they use dot products on at least one layer with fully-connected inputs, which they do, along with everything else derived from the basic MLP model, then they're technically performing convolution.

Of course, the convolution concept breaks down when nonlinear activation functions are introduced, so I'm not sure the equivalence is really all that profound.
Ask HN: How would you solve this problem?
Imagine you're a bootstrapped founder of a mobile social app. On the app, there are content creators and consumers. The userbase is global, with creators and users from all over the world.

You want to start allowing users to tip creators for their awesome content, similar to the way Twitch viewers can tip "bits" to streamers, which they can eventually cash out for real money.

The tips are expected to be very small, a few cents here and there.

How would you solve this? Maybe try to do exactly what Twitch does? Seems like it would be a heavy, expensive lift to try to navigate all the tax complexities. Perhaps Stripe could help?

I know some fancy benchmark says "almost no loss", but... subjectively, there is a clear quality loss. You can try for yourself, I can run Mixtral at 5.8bpw and there is an OBVIOUS difference between what I have seen from Groq and my local setup beside the sound barrier shattering speed of Groq. I didn't know Mixtral could output such nice code and I have used it A LOT locally.

I don’t love VSCode but it’s what I mostly use. It’s good enough for most users and having everyone on my team have the same setup helps debug local issues. It also never seems to have any major performance issues which I’ll give MS kudos for. Maybe because the core editor is still pretty light and most things are plugins ?
Static analysis has a significant advantage over runtime checks for memory leaks, especially in code that is almost never executed, because bugs can remain hidden until they appear in production. The code where I found the bug last year was executed occasionally, and to create a unit test, it was necessary to integrate with another server. So it wasn't easy to check at runtime.

On the other hand static analysis will catch the error at first compilation even on those almost never executed code.
