I agree with you that it's entirely predictable. Why was it not predicted by a company that has achieved hegemony over so many aspects of our online lives and therefore must be pretty good at stuff?

Other people offer:

* google drove their head up their own ass

* actually they expected this behavior, but didn't think there would be backlash

* google didn't scope for the normal consumer but rather for their managerial class

I'd say that the first and third items are close to the "result they couldn't anticipate" reason. The second reason sounds google-ish, but they're also trying to win in a market where they're behind, so is their blindness to real humans that deeply institutional?
This isn't bitcoin.

Ask HN: Looking for a growth hacking consultant/resource
Our startup serves a relatively niche market. We've worked with several marketing/funnel consultants who have tried to increase our lead gen/help with conversions/build some marketing automation, but their lack of understanding of our market and the difficulty in targeting leads have led to a complete lack of success. The last two consultants we've interviewed have told us that they simply can't hit our goals. We've realized that it's too difficult to teach consultants about our market, so we want to try and bring in some of the skills that we're lacking.

Things we need help with:

- Understanding our lead pipeline, where we're successful and where we're weak.
- Knowing how/when to reengage warm leads and how to identify potential conversations rather than shotgunning money.
- Looking at our 4+ years of marketing/conversation data and trying to learn some things about it.
- Developing the skills to maintain our marketing funnels in a more healthy/robust way, rather than just kind of winging it.

Very interested in online resources/texts/courses that can help educate us on this, but we're also interested in building a relationship with a growth/marketing consultant who can bring their expertise, strategies, and tactics to the table.
There's been academic studies on this. The average hourly productivity as measured in lines of code for professional developers is very low. Along to order of 1 to 2 lines of code per hour. This is because of all the other communication and synchronization that you mentioned that needs to happen.

I think you’re assuming these big companies are serious about AI itself and not just joining in on a trend. They would much rather spend huge amounts of money on chips than hire a competent researcher who might tell them that they didn’t really need to waste so much money.
Right. I misunderstood the comment. Thanks for clarifying!
This. Buying weed in Berlin is nothing like buying in pre-legalization North America. If you buy without a solid connection, you will more often than not get a laced product. It took me a few years to get a reliable supplier and people frequently reach out to me on Reddit because I brought it up years ago.

Can't get those sweet, sweet AI stock bumps without a press release.

Anyhow, I expect them to announce something a lot more innocuous but do something a lot less innocuous. It doesn't have to be exactly what I said, which would be pretty blatant, though personally I have absolutely no problem imagining it would happen, but it'll be something that if someone just directly described it to you without sugar coating it you'd find offensive, I guarantee it. The game theory all but guarantees it; if $YOU don't do it, someone else will, so it may as well be $YOU. Basically a tragedy of the commons.
I wish the battery layout/ amp hours was more obvious in UPS sales listings. The watts/VA are always front and center, but generally I want to know runtime which is harder to find and compare.
Confusingly, Pro is the free version. Ultra is the paid one. What some people have access to here is the next-ish generation of Pro, 1.5, which sports a huge context window. I haven't heard anything about an Ultra 1.5 yet.

(As a paying user of Ultra, I'm kind of bummed about not having access to this improved Pro...)

One great thing about Python is that you can do a lot with it but the complexity is gradually exposed to you as you become a more advanced user which makes it both powerful and easy to get into.
The only ones that seem to want and benefit most from a global filter-free "public square" are:

A. entities conducting surveillance, such as data brokers.
B. entities wanting to manufacture consent through campaigns consisting of content that is non-geniune or ragebaity.
C. fatherless immature 13-year-olds (or actors at that maturity level) that still think Internet trolling is funny in 2024.
D. entities that really want the Internet to behave like a one-way broadcast medium, like television.

No one actually wants A, B, and C other than entities that are A, B, and C. A decent portion probably doesn't want D either. All of these have been increasing in scale on the Internet as time passes.

I'm all for using a global public square, but I am not going to respect it or use it really unless there is way for me to avoid A, B, and C.

The government shouldn't do this.

It'd be nice if the platform could do this automatically as a feature, but it's not a solved problem yet. And that's OK - if the platform lets me manage what I see, I can solve it myself, which it's really a "me" problem anyway.

It'd be nicer if the platform lets me and like-minded individuals subscribe to and manage blocklists, and if I think the blocklist manager is off their rocker, I can unsubscribe to it.

And if the government required "public squares" on the Internet to have such a feature, that'd be awesome, but I'm not holding my breath.

You can call this censorship if you want, but if it's initiated and chosen by me and not the government or other arrangements of authorities where you cannot opt out, then so what?

You know we tested fusion bombs as early as the 50s? They've been around quite a while. Also, very few reactors use lasers. The laser system at NIF is actually entirely meant to physically emulate what fusion bombs are like without having to build one and set it off. Reactors typically use magnetic fields instead of lasers, because the approach is much more scalable to things like power generation.

Honest inquiry here - What I don't understand is how people think the identification of Satoshi is "bound to happen". What did the person do wrong, exactly?

Based on how I understand it, if the person did nothing wrong by inventing Bitcoin, no investigation will occur and no judge will sign off on a search warrant to get the ID data. No private investigator will be able to obtain the data either, as ISPs wouldn't just dish out private info like that without a warrant.

Did the inventor of Bitcoin do something wrong to allow for a judge to violate their privacy in a court case? That's the only way I see the info getting out, but is there a crime to allow that situation to arise?

What other (legal or illegal) path is there to identify a person who posted something online?
Co-Developing Programs and Their Proof of Correctness
I agree with some of this, and that green field productivity can be impressive... but I work a lot on very large systems that would simply be impossible for a single person to create in a reasonable amount of time. Even though I am sure I could create every system I need to solve the problem, it would take decades. I like working on small subsets of the overall problem, that is not the issue. I even like working on teams!

The issue is the things outside of solving the actual problem.

I use SPAXX at Fidelity. It is mostly government paper, and while not explicitly FDIC insured, I am confident of it's solvency in almost all situations due to new money market regs (that should prevent the most common MMF products from "breaking the buck").

If you are incredibly conservative, you could keep enough cash for 30-90 days in an FDIC deposit account, with the rest in money market funds that will take time to resolve solvency issues.

IIRC, GIMP chose this path. Krita got serious about funding and GIMP didn't. Krita has two straightforward donation pages (https://krita.org/en/support-us/donations/ or https://fund.krita.org/) meanwhile GIMP discourages direct donation to the project (https://www.gimp.org/donating/)

In truth, GIMP maintainers deeply enjoy the control that "no strings attached"/"no obligation" development brings them. They've alienated most potential sponsors because they're happy with their lack of results. The missing funding angle only matters as an excuse for their own disorganization.

> Programming doesn't get much easier with experience, the idea that it's "as easy as eating cookies" only happens in dreams.

Doesn't match my experience. 20 years after starting my career, I can now write simpler code, build better abstractions, produce fewer bugs, and achieve higher performance in less time spent than when I started. The more time I spend programming, the more those statements are true. That's why it's so incredibly rewarding and frankly addictive. It's a positive feedback loop with seemingly no upper bound. More time invested yields more skills and better results.

Of course many parts of programming are still difficult. Concurrency and distributed systems take a ton of mental energy. But those parts were simply inaccessible to me when I first started my career. Now I can actually make progress.
I rushed to buy AppleCare just in case this happens to mine, so.. working as designed?

But seriously, I hope that there will be a repair program for this issue. Right now it's hard for me to be upset at Apple since there are inevitably things you only discover when you have shipped a sufficient number of devices into the real world. They're a big ship to steer, and it's been 2 days since this was first reported. They can't not be aware of it now that it's in the news, but even if they make zero effort to push back or stall, it's going to take a little while just to formulate a response, get all the signoffs, and implement it.

Best case, we'll see a repair program shortly and it will be zero trouble to exchange it for free if this happens. Worst case, it'll be another situation that is only resolved after years of complaints and a class action lawsuit. But I can't in fairness, even wearing my "Apple only cares about money" hat, reasonably argue that are delinquent for not doing that all in under 48 hours.
"Truth wins over time" means 50 years after you die and none of this matters anymore, someone will bravely say the truth with no fear of consequences. Especially when there is such a huge conspiracy to cover things up and the facts are so inaccessible to ordinary people.

I don't know what you want Intel to do here. They tell you upfront what the power and clock limits are on the parts. But the market has a three decade history of people pushing the chips a little past their limit for fun and profit, so they "allow" it even if they know it won't work for everything.

Only because of backhand deals. Try to make your own Venmo or Zelle and see if Apple waives the 30% for you.
Then don't buy applecare. Nobody is forcing you to do so. It's not any different than say, booking a refundable airline ticket, which is the equivalent of "insurance for your plans changing". I checked a random US flight and it's about 60% more. Given that in the past decade or so of flying I never had to cancel or reschedule a flight, it doesn't really make sense for me to pay the premium, but I wouldn't call option of buying such a flexible ticket "a scam".
I put an oversized UPS with extended battery pack on my network gear (Cable modem, Router, ethernet switch and Wifi nodes) to give me almost 8 hours of runtime in a power outage. I've found, however, that the cable company's UPS only lasts around 6 hours since that's how long it takes for the internet to go out and the cable modem to lose carrier.

In the winter months (when we have most of our power outages), I pay for a pre-paid cellular SIM for backup. The cell tower(s) that serves my area must be on generator, it doesn't seem to go down even in long power outages.
I had a similar experience with gaming, but with Civilization V, Dwarf Fortress, and other RTS games. They felt enough like I was "working" that I didn't care/notice how much time I was wasting each day. Now I've moved on to the same work-then-play mentality you described, but even then I try to replace gaming with reading or creative projects.

Watching my own sense of purpose change as I've gotten older has been interesting. I used to have a carefree (and careless), go with the flow personality. In the last two years I've become achievement and goal-oriented. I think it feels much better to have a reason to get up each day.
I think it's mostly an organic process arising from the ecosystem.

My personal way of understanding it is this - the original sin of model weight format complexity is that NNs are both data and computation.

Representing the computation as data is the hard part and that's where the simplicity falls apart. Do you embed the compute graph? If so, what do you do about different frameworks supporting overlapping but distinct operations. Do you need the artifact to make training reproducible? Well that's an even more complex computation that you have to serialize as data. And so on..
Yes, also still struggling, after some decades.

But I wonder what the metric is, when other people comment that 'it's a breeze'?

Sure it's too easy to lay down any old crap. But the trick is addressing all the aspects and concerns of the problem, in an elegant way, that is easy to understand and modify.

So for me it's more 'analysis paralysis', and perfectionism, if not simply 'pride in a job well done' than any difficulty in just slinging code.
I have a little pet theory that due to the amount of compute we have today, wastes of resources like ai or blockchain or whatever comes next are a natural result of this overcapacity beyond most use cases. And businesses will always buy in to this spare capacity burn because it makes them appear innovative or productive. As a result the hardware manufacturers like NVDA will make out handsomely, swinging from vine to vine selling shovels and blue jeans to each new hype technology.
Maybe you're still getting interesting problems.
> A teacher and my parents both tried to improve my penmanship by forcing me to write page and pages of letters.

This is a decent tactic if, like you said, you want to improve your handwriting. You have to want it. You have to go slow and form the letters perfectly every time so you develop that muscle memory. I printed pages of a single letter in the font I wanted to imitate and traced the letters. It's a great activity to do while you're sitting in front of the TV.

edit to clarify: the decent tactic is to re-learn how to form your letters IF you want to improve your handwriting. DO NOT force your kids to do so. It will be counter-productive because they won't focus on forming the letters. They'll speed through it to get it done and wind up with worse handwriting than before. As wccrawford and I both said: You have to want it.

Possibly. I would start swapping parts around at that point. Different memory, different CPU, or different motherboard. Just 1 more anecdote, but my r7-7700x has been a dream (won the silicon lottery). It runs at the maximum undervolt & RAM at 6000 with no stability problems.

Anyone else remember less from reading an ebook compared to a physical one? This happens to me, and I think it's a similar explanation. I recall less of where I read something in an ebook. But in a physical book, I often remember that a phrase was at the top or middle or left side of a page, or that I was sitting in a particular chair when I read it. There's simply more of the brain working when I read a physical book, much as handwriting needs more of your body than typing.
