No, I haven’t tried it. It looks great but unfortunately the per connection pricing makes it not ideal for us. (We’ve had a couple of messages back and forth on here in the past about it). Most of our customers have low numbers of users, so the per subscription cost becomes a bit high.

I’ll kick the tyres in my next round of investigation though to see how it looks.
It looks like DAUq was flat or declining until Q3'21, then started ticking up, but really popped off in Q3 and Q4 of 2023 after they killed third-party clients.

How is that different from Microsoft for example ?
What makes Avast so special ? Non US ?
There are three distinct "voices" in my comment:

- the first line is me, being so annoyed at the article that I want to destroy a laptop

- the blockquote is a quote from the article itself, including a really dumb, condescending rhetorical device about "sanctity of homework"

- the part in quotation marks is mocking the author
How long do you allow for evaluating if there is a dip? And will times never change?

And even if there is really none, then sure it makes sense from the company point of view and pure profit perspective. But if the company is well of, why lay off experienced, trusted and loyal workforce still? You always need slack room, like you need some money put aside.

And another level, work puts meaning to our lives.. either we allow for other meaningful things supported by some UBI, or we should rethink if profiting companies really need to ultra-maximize, or how they can also do a little welfare for their employed work force.. imo it's a pity the employee owned model is not more widespread, and it is all for the few.

But anyway, different end of a very wide spectrum. Certainly, struggling companies must get rid of the bloat, bullshit jobs, and evil within, if it needs that to survive and is the actual problem ;)
Agreed. Not a justification, but an explanation/excuse as to why systems are less reliable. You're right on the mark -- when reliability doesn't scale with complexity, you get this.
It's hard to find (as in a one second google search didn't find it, but man found a lot of lists of SAT/ACT-free admissions) but I did find this:

At least one on there (MIT) we know dropped and brought it back, so it's clearly not a list of those that always required it.

I think forums could make a comeback over the next 3-5 years. Big platforms like Reddit, Discord and Facebook have been testing their userbase's loyalty for a long time now. If you look at Mastodon, HN, and even Tumblr, you can see a viable number of people are fine with smaller communities, as long as they are genuine and quality. Forums -- especially specialist forums -- have always been great for that.
Thanks, can you send the cached link please? I'd also suggest trying Chat mode for questions like this, where there are unlikely to benefit from an internet search.

Volvo has used APL for ages, so I don't think there is anything weird about it. Someone just found the old case study on Dyalog's website from years ago and posted it I believe. It makes sense to me as it is a language suited for business folks. The Clojure needs are likely for an entirely different system.
happy to help! it's hard to have enough perspective on things we build ourselves, so I'm always happy to try to contribute with some user confusion feedback

> I've basically built a white-label general purpose app, and you can put your images/text/API URL in there and have your own custom app (with a feed, likes/favourite content, account settings, login in/log out/sign up) extremely quickly.

NOW I get it and I think that's great! it's like a CMS for apps, I guess. you can show that upfront. "Why waste time reinventing the wheel writing basic functionality when you can have your app up and running in one day with hyper fast?"

you want to make the description of your product as short and easy as possible. "when you confuse, you lose"

the challenge there is proving to me that the "framework" will allow me to continue building when it inevitably needs to, as is the case with any framework. so one of your product goals should be to allow people to stay within HyperFast to move fast without feeling they can't customize it enough. at some point, though, you become as complex as React Native because of all the customization. but I do love sane defaults. that's why I use vscode and not vim anymore—just gotta have those vim keybindings and I'm game ;-)

It’s still quite unintelligible even with the exclamation mark.

You can read “29 Delphi” similar to “29 AD”, and it almost works.
It's interesting how you're creating an argument out of thin air.

The article was about mining comments for AI, not about advertisement. Yet you brought in the topic of advertisement, and then created a fake argument about how people think advertisers are better than AI scraping. It's really weird that you did that.
SMS 2FA is a code that you're entering from a phone number. The "risk" is that your phone number can be ported without your permission, and then someone else can get the code.

TOTP is more secure because it isn't tied to a phone number. You're right that it's still phishable but that's not the point.

In both cases, the primary benefit to the general population is to have a rotating credential that, if one website is hacked, is useless on another website.
Those houses across the street are reminiscent of the sort of mid-century build you'd see lining the streets of every city and town where a young New Zealander might have grown up. So you get views of the three things your average Kiwi idolises - the sea, the bush, and the suburb.
Firestone is from Harvey S. Firestone though. Interesting that two companies with similar names had different origins, yet one would acquire the other many years later.

That people have to be employed artificially so they don't starve: is the problem. UBI has the potential to remove a lot of bullshit jobs, companies can run much leaner when they aren't responsible for a citizen's needs.

YouTube designs itself to keep users (a word often used for addicts) glued (read, "engaged") to the platform. It is built to draw people in and keep them there, thereby encouraging addictive behaviors. It is absolutely a problem with YouTube.
I've used Todoist during my university period for writing my thesis. I've setup a project and laid down every section of the thesis as a task, then, night after night, I wrote some section and marked off the task. I didn't do anything particular that I remember of, but I had a great time, the interface was polished and it felt rewarding.

I abandoned ever since I got my degree and started exploring other apps when I got a job.

Paying people to shitpost, what could go wrong with that.
In reality, the projected value of many such projects were either never accurately measured, or allowed to differ from the "measured" value for a very long time.

The projections would go something like $0 two years ago, $5k last year, but then $100k next year, $5mm year after that. One day? $1B, easy.

There'd be precious little evidence to support the exponential growth hypothesis, while having 10 assigned engineers earning as much as their peers in more predictable domains.

It's easier to justify such ideas in a big, rich company when the risk free rate of return is near-zero and the profit center of the company is compounding (the growth in Ads justifies the negative ROIC everywhere else).

But when your profit center is wavering and showing worrying signs of stalling out (as Google and Meta did in 2021/22), the calculus shifts dramatically.

When you manage a company not for "growth" but for "value" (which is an inevitable part of the corporate cycle), these projects and the employees behind them are decreasingly seen as a potential source of future profits and more as a waste of increasingly valuable cash.
That sounds great, but I think it's more likely that they'll start charging for water and air before they start producing food and clothing with the intention of giving it away.
The road to Hell is paved with corporate HR policies.
> AI plays Cupid...

AI, schmay-eye. The Japanese government's definition of "success" is more marriages. (Vs. paying to doomscroll through endless pictures/profiles for the next century.) They could hire local fortune tellers, pay only for success, and still do relatively well.

As someone who has built chatbots used by businesses, your wording is very misleading. A chatbot is very different than an embedded form. If this project is for the latter, you should use that verbiage.
What, what do you mean nothing happened? I'm in my underground bunker, do you think it would be safe to come out and look around?

It depends. Musk has a great ability of burning his employees out to make up for mistakes he has made: (Early automation efforts at Tesla in 2017/2018 where they repeated the mistakes GM made in the 70s/80s, dumb mistakes in the early days of SpaceX when they tried to replicate what NASA had in the 50s/60s).

In the end he succeeds powering through all the dumb decisions he makes and manages to pull ahead:(Tesla production and engineering is now seen as a innovation leader in the industry and not just dismissed as some dumb flash in the pan, SpaceX has no real competitors, maybe the Chinese will eventually catch them but no one else is even in the conversation).

I have often wondered why so many people sign up to put themselves though this and I guess the clearest answer I got was when I interviewed some Starlink employees at DEFCON. They just want to be part of a team of excellent players and will overlook Musk's faults to be a part of that team.
What's your timescale? If you take medicine for a chronic condition you can often skip a dose without problem, maybe even two, but eventually you presumably revert back to where you were before treatment.

I saw a lot of this back in the "reengineering the corporation" craze in the 90s (and then the "lean organization" and so on). They cut all the slack out of the system so in steady state everything seemed to work. But the world is not consistently in a steady state.

So fire that guy doing backups, and save money by not paying for the redundant network connection you've never used. Stock goes up, prepare three envelopes, and retire!
We don't "accept them as tools" in all academic contexts! In many cases using a TI-89 in a calculus class truly is cheating. Likewise with using ChatGPT in an English class.
People need to stop posting this stuff (similar stuff with discord). In the end it will lead to Youtube cracking down on it sooner.

This is just stylistic, and I think it’s because chatgpt knows a bit “better” that there aren’t very many literal photos of abstract floating shapes. Adding “studio photography, award winner” produced results quite similar to SD imo, but this does negatively impact the accuracy. On the other side of the coin, “minimalist textbook illustration” definitely seems to help the accuracy, which I think is soft confirmation of the thought above.

EDIT: I think the best approach is simply to separate out the terms in separate phrases, as that gets more-or-less 100% accuracy https://imgur.com/a/JGjkicQ

That said, we should acknowledge the point of all this: SD3 is just incredibly incredibly impressive.
Datasets can still be curated by crowds of volunteers just fine. I would likewise expect a crowdsourceable solution to compute to emerge eventually - unless the safetyists move to prevent this by way of legislation.

When writing and printing emerged, they too depended on supply chains (for paper, iron, machining) and in the case of printing capital that were far out of the reach of the individual. Their utility and overlap with other mass markets resulted in those being commoditized in short order.
It would be helpful if you can post such a citation. I did a quick search and I'm not seeing "less suited" in his memo.
Weaving music data in and out of my personal website
I don't think I ever actually did any stats with J, but I did play with it for a long time.

J is like an old school text adventure where you start with a blank screen that reads "You are in the woods" and, before you know it, it's Monday morning and you're considering calling out of work because you've almost decoded some elvish runes you found on a rock.

R is the single player campaign of a modern first person shooter, where you have infinite lives and your health regenerates if you sit and think for a while.

This isn't a perfect analogy. Maybe J is high school Spanish class, and R is Google translate? I remember enjoying J as a language and R as a tool. It's exciting to express new things in J. It's easy to do familiar things in R.

R also is really well documented - there was a time where experts were asking basic questions on Stack Overflow and answering them themselves, because that's where people look for documentation.
nope, google had a discussions tab in search. Looked something like this https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/discussion...
Yeah, I've given up experimenting, but it is exactly that set of Maher/Rogan/Peterson, three names I've actively avoided for quite a while.

I probably wouldn't have remembered it if it weren't a continual anti-recommendation of what are (in my mind) somewhat niche speakers. It's also surprising given at least Rogan and Peterson's troubles with advertisers.

It's not like it's <latest movie trailer> or <breaking news story> or something else of a general appeal. Maybe YT is trying to demonstrate they're not censoring or something?

I do watch SNL and some CC stuff occasionally, but I mostly search for STEM and history lectures/documentaries, or "10 hrs of nondescript background music".
If only! Lots of things seem obvious, like common sense, but they apparently aren't because the behavior of many organizations is to reward the firefighters, to push "work harder" over "work smarter", and other behaviors that (in the long term) impede their ability to improve or expand their capabilities.

I liked the quote in the 2015 submission that twic posted [0], it relates back to the "seems obvious" sentiment. A lot of good solutions are simple (or composed of simple elements in a sane and reasonable fashion). But arriving at those solutions is decidedly not simple or obvious if we go by the Rube Goldberg machines that people end up contriving instead.

"This is America, where racism is the #1 value our populace seeks to uphold above
all..."

and now being an influential leader in AI at one of the most powerful companies on Earth? That deserves some scrutiny.
Confidently wrong? I thought it was getting access to Reddit, not HN.

I think you just have a fundamentally different view of what a layoff means then the executives, board of directors, and general shareholders.

> I and several others made this case, and yet again, not headed, layoffs hit 6 months later, because all those customers either went belly up or had to downsize themselves, because they were too credit dependent.

But what if the customers survived? What if interest rates didn't hike as fast? You're suggestion would have been horrible. The risks of over-hiring is a layoff which no one else views as really that bad vs failing behind competitors.
This is the sort of comment cliched and dishonest. It only muddies the
waters of a serious debate.

We are choking to death on fumes and micro-plastics. CO2 is destroying

plummet and depression soars. Cellphones have ruined family life and
turned work in to a 24/7 activity.

Our overflowing landfills are spewing methane into the atmosphere from
7 decades of pointless plastic rubbish we make and throw away two

Just No! The Byzantines and Romans had running water. Automation has
nothing to do with it.

You know - I love technology, We really could have done something with
it. But we let convenience, greed and vanity be our guides. Just maybe
a good start would be to quit with this hopeless mythology and hubris,
to actually think critically about the tradeoffs we've made and see
just how much harm we're doing to ourselves.
Well, it is not like they arent aware of it.

They were pretty open about this on some earning calls and how do I see it?

I see it as room for improvement and maybe some kind of potential edge over duos like amd+tsmc
I'm certainly willing to believe that there's been a shift. But it's completely implausible that in just a year (two? I forget how long it's been) since the sale, Twitter has transformed into a "conservative cesspool". What the poster I replied to is almost certainly seeing is that there's actual balance now, instead of being absurdly hard left like it was before.

That's not safety, the safety RLHF is because it tries to generate porn and people with three legs if you don't stop it.

It has the weird art style because that's what looks the most "aesthetic". And because it doesn't actually have nearly as good enough data as you'd think it does.

It's concerning to see that the site that was once the absolute paragon of Internet freedom going down this path. Reddit has gone from the shining start of the Internet to a hollow, slowly rotting husk.

> If moderation is done globally, and I can't exercise any control over the prioritization of content beyond what is granted to me by the global provider (even though there are more and better choices than 'old social'), what's the benefit of running a federated node?

Running your own server (aka PDS) allows you to post content that might be blocked on other servers.

The "global" moderation in BlueSky is also federated. Anyone can provide a weighted feed, search engine or other content discovery service (aka AppView) by crawling servers or other indexers (aka Relay). This is like what google/bing/ddg does for webpages.

The user can then apply their own moderation to the results returned by the aggretator/indexer of their choice. This like running an add blocker.
I have some feedback: please reduce the volume.
