skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
A key aspect is the information bottleneck enforced by the mechanism as the next "iteration" only gets to access the new token computed and discards all the other information it computed.

So if you want it to spend more "time" in a useful manner without changing the architecture, you have to get it to write down the temporary information in the tokens, as "think step by step" does or alternatively iterative prompts "write a draft for the rough structure" "now rewrite it better with more detail".
I didn't read GP as blaming servers so much as demonstrating what is effectively systemic ignorance in the restaurant industry. The inability to 100% confirm ingredients is highlighted as not only being due to servers not knowing the exact contents of all meals (which is understandable), but also the fact that those who prepare and cook the meals as also being uncertain.
$8m doesn't cover retention (what retention?) and support? Not sure that makes sense.
Minimizing pain is the basic point.

You're essentially arguing on pedantic points. We know what they're trying to say.
> Inflation encourages investment because if you just sit on your money it gets eaten away by inflation.

People shouldn't be penalised for saving money.

"Oh, but just invest it!"

With investment comes risk. Why shouldn't people be allowed to save without risk or having their savings melted by lost purchasing power through inflation?

Inflation is a hidden tax and theft of those furthest from the newly "minted" money to benefit those that are closest to the source i.e. banks and large borrowers.
This looks like the CNCF Landscape(https://landscape.cncf.io/) but will we be able to achieve project maturity like the CNCF graduated projects to any of the listed AI Infra projects, also how will the projects/infra/solutions get added/categorized?

One of the things that is still TBD about this wave of ai companies: what are the pain points in building products that people actually want to use?

I guess my warning would be that, much like integrating an analytics platform a few years back, it's easy to spend a lot of time and money on someone else's idea of how to improve your business.

I feel like I've had to learn this lesson at every level of the stack. There's no ORM that will save you from thinking about database schemas. There's no analytics platform that will save you from thinking about what's the most important thing your product is. I suspect, there's no training or evaluation platform that will save you from trial and error; prompt and check techniques.

If it wasn’t I was going to bring it up, faith in lip synced music telly reconfirmed.
I really do not want to start a flame war about OSI model, but I tent to bend the OSI model and interpret the "layers" by the function they presents.

Another example, lets say you spin up a QuicTun, nacl-based encapsulation tunel, encrypted, running over IP + UDP as a layer7 process, in userland, there is no kernel implementation. For me, this vpn is Layer2 (when tap mode) or Layer3 (when tun mode) regardless that it uses all 7 layers to establish the tunnel. Sure it uses all layers to establish the connection but once it is done, I have layer3 device for further use.

Same for DNS - for me it is Layer3 because of the crucial function it provides, so I could rather say it is functionally on the same layer as IP in a sense, it is crucial to make a connection. Does not matter that it uses all 7 layers to get me the network (A)ddress / (AAAA)ddress, it is still functionally a network layer for me. Only once this is establised, I can exchange data.

And while DNS is running on layer7 - for me personally, the function it performs is "to allow connect() to a string as opposed to a network address (IP/IPv6)" and because of that, it is a Layer3 for me on the functional level, same as a VPN software to access some corporate stuff. Does not matter that VPN uses TLS and DNS under the hood and span across all 7 layers to encapsulate my data, functionally it is layer3 for me.

I do a lot of corporate DNS trainings and people are surprised about this view. Software developers are unhappy that we start the "DNS course" with IP basics, unicast, anycast, 101 overview of BGP, ARIN, provider independed vs Provider Aggregatable address space. Developers would rather learn about DNS, not what an IP address is. Network guys sits happy on the course, but they are not happy to hear my view that:

"there is no DNS without network and there is no network without a DNS"

However, slowly but surely once the full training is finished, both sides understand that IP/IPv6 and DNS are in a symbiosis and can't be separated. We touch a lot of topics, including lack of interoperatibilty between IPv4 and IPV6, DNS64, XLAT464, etc.

Sure, if you run an air-gapped network in some military facility, you can get things working without DNS, but 99.999% networks can't work without a DNS.

Gentrifiers are usually outsiders, not original residents going upscale. That's why I don't think that bands that went from punk to new wave support the author's theory.

I wasn't talking about college as a marker of class. I was referring to the quote "graduating from private art colleges that had prepared them to work in the culture industry". Private art colleges are way fewer in number than college in general, and off the top of my head, I only know of Talking Heads as a new wave band coming from a private art college (Rhode Island School of Design). It's so specific, I wonder why the author didn't name the Talking Heads specifically. (I checked, and Devo and REM didn't go to art colleges.)

> The Ramones started as a high school garage band in Forrest Hills, Queens

Ahh, I misremembered the particular nabe. But from the NYC perspective, that's still the suburbs. I lived all over NYC for almost twenty years. Good place to raise a family, and a bit boring. Not many subway lines, thanks to Robert Moses, so it's car-heavy, which is part of why it's suburban. Just because it's in NYC city limits doesn't make it urban. And it was probably similar when the Ramones were there.

Whoever bought the name on the blockchain is the owner within that decentralized DNS registry. If you don't like it, you can buy that same domain name on a different decentralized DNS registry (e.g. on a different blockchain) and try to use your influence to promote your users to use that one instead.

I don't recall ever signing a contract with any government agreeing to all these trademark laws we have today. Why should they have precedence over the laws of decentralized blockchains which people have chosen out of their own free will?
I think it would make sense to study advantages of ADHD in the modern world as well. Personally I think the "default" in our society where you're required to focus for 8h a day on things you aren't constantly enthusiastic about puts individuals with ADHD at a disatvantage, to the point where we can either try to bridge the gap with medication, or find non-9to5 jobs that we are better suited for.

But while I have a strong suspicion that ADHD is an advantage in some jobs, I think it should be studied more thoroughly.
This seems pretty cool, so it's free slow cell service in exchange for watching a video ad every hour, with optional prepaid plans for higher speeds/no ads.

Two floppies? In 1995 I got Windows 3.1 down to 1 floppy in order to boot a library catalogue computer into a Write.exe so I could do wysiwyg word processing. All the Wordperfect 5.1 machines were used and as few used a catalogue computer only for a short while I thought I should just do it - I used the software "2MF 3.0" which formatted the 1.44 to the highest density of 2M, booted into DOS, with autoexec.bat a ramdisk was created and the WIN.UC2 self-extracted itself. Decades later I am happy to work at the same university in IT.
I made a similar floppy setup to boot into CIV1 and a floppy to read the complete bible, and a floppy to listen to mod's.
One floppy for single tasking computing, life was good.
But that’s good, isn’t it? Finally I could afford to buy something instead of renting.

For a loitering drone I imagine dead reckoning would cause significant drift unless corrected by external input. GPS is great when it's available but can be jammed.

I was thinking along the lines of preprocessing satellite images to extract prominent features, then using modern image processing to try to match against the observed features.

A quite underconstrained problem in general, but if you have a decent idea of where you should be due to dead reckoning, then perhaps quite doable?

Hi, sure. We use a combination of OCR, IDP and LLMs, after months of testing on different algorithms and solutions. We make all reasonable efforts to offer great privacy and we don't use customers data for algorithm training. Also, for increased accuracy, we can deploy our solution on the customer own cloud, so the data is store on their environment.
(look at European cities like Amsterdam or Berlin which have homelessness rates approaching double most US cities' and even higher expenditures)

I live in Berlin and this is highly misleading. Amsterdam and Berlin are major drug centers and people move specifically for the supply and public services. Half of the Berlin homeless are from Eastern Europe and moved here for this reason. Other areas make up most of the rest. The number of homeless Germans in Berlin is very low. This has been widely reported and confirmed by recent census and interviews. The expenditures also include refugee (unplaced or unhoused) spending for people from Ukraine, Syria, and many other areas.

When you reach VMWare size ($13.5 BILLION in revenue in FY 23), $8M is chump change.

The margins on support might not make sense.

With the level of revenue VMWare had, it's realistic to assume mean deal size is in the 8-9 digit range.

It's probably in jest to joke that the newly emptied out office spaces could be converted to vertical farming of cannabis for growers' clubs which are going to be legal from April 1st in Germany.

To be honest, if these growing clubs could cover rent + electricity + water in my opinion it is not really that bad of an idea to take over empty office buildings, most legal cannabis is already grown in very controlled environments, open plan offices would be pretty good for it.
It is the most shitty (and stupid) way possible to act though. Old price x 12 is not in good faith. Contracts are based on good faith. Give them a rationale, give them a deadline 24 months hence and a fair price increase. Dare to say no to individual customers. Any customer should now start planning for the end of their Broadcom VMWare-contract. If they do not act in good faith to a random customer, why would they to you? Large company contract management is based on trust. This might cost Broadcom a lot more than a few individual customers that they were planning on 'letting go'.

I work at a company that got sold by another company with an indefinite LTA (long term agreement) in place. Former owner did not honor the LTA, but at least was transparant and timely about it. We got two years to sever several key processes. We will end up severing all ties, since the business risk of leaving open ends without the LTA is too big for my risk appetite. Fool me once. And that's our business consequence of not honoring an LTA even when the former owner severed the ties in good faith. If the buy-in is not there for both parties to the contract, then there is no ongoing relationship.
> Is $8m small for a VMware contract

Absolutely.

For an Enterprise SaaS generate $13.5B in revenue in FY23, you can realistically assume mean deal size is mid-upper 8 or low 9 figures.

I have often considered my experiences with depression in a similar context. Depression drives me to optimise for satisfaction rather than joy, which makes me into an occasional workaholic where I will obsess over goals, ignoring all other interactions.

If you want to read, you have the links with the evidence tha manipulation on purpose happened sustained in time (and still happens!) such as making people out that contradicted the human warming theory, data manipulation, cherry-picking and replacing data at convenience. These are real things that have been happening, independently of our positions on the topic.

Take the time to read through if you are genuinely interested. You can use a translator. There are literal quotes of the mails sent back and forth.

Whether you are skeptical or not, that is a position I respect. Just understand that I have my doubts: it is a fact that climate changes.

For me what it is controversial is whether it is humans who do it mostly and I have a lot of reasons to think that people who expose a different opinion are systematically pushed out of the media and mainstream.

Not only that, there have been periods with 5 to 10 times more CO2, CO2 is used for bigger harvest (double to triple sometimes!), yet, until I took the time to investigate, it all looks headed towards one single idea: that CO2 is absolutely bad (and they are interested in taxing it of course because it is the only and true cause) and the rest is censored or half-censored. I suspect that the reason for this is getting money, since I am not sure one can conclude that the cause ofwarming is exactly CO2 and humans. They would lose their justification for taxing.

This makes me suspicious that there is a big interest in twisting the truth and I think it is reasonable to think so.

I am not saying I am right. Just that it looks like that to me.

Hope that, after linking (partial) evidence you understand why I do not believe official versions right away.

Obviously you know more about the raw topic than me. But there is nothing close to consensus as far as my understanding goes, even from experts.

Neat! I should try this. Been using pass since forever. Does it support autofill on Android?

GNU Pass is a great example of Unix-y interoperability for me. I sync the .password-store folder over to my phone with Syncthing, where the Password Store android app reads it. Password Store in turn talks to OpenKeychain for my encryption key with biometrics support. Changes are also synced back to my other devices. Each piece of the puzzle can focus on doing one thing and doing it well, even on Android!

> ... we refuse to learn from experts ...

This theme comes up a few times in the article. It is a misunderstanding of the Western mindset.

Everyone involved can see that there are people out there who are better than us at building. The issue is that their methods are unacceptable and, when understood, are likely to be explicitly rejected.

Think of it like communists refusing to allow private ownership - the evidence is available that private ownership leads to better results overall and they understand the mechanics of how it works. The issue is that there is a fundamental rejection of the idea that someone is entitled to control the benefits of an asset. There is no mechanical confusion about what would happen if private property was instituted, or how to affect it.

It isn't a question of learning new things. The problem is things that are politically desirable (pristine air quality, well paid jobs for workers with ironclad security, not upsetting anyone, strong regulatory controls) are incompatible with a cheap & high quality product. As I repeat ad nauseam, most of what China does to successfully build infrastructure is literally illegal in the West.

Those mods can be done hilariously cheap vs starting with a raw block of land with no utilities. Just having a foundation with exterior walls and utilities ran to it, even undersized, is massive time save.

From my point of view, WinDev decreasing their religious stance on COM and related crap tooling for using it (VB 6, .NET Framework, C++/CX, .NET Native were the only usable ones for it), would already be a great improvement.
There is much less pollution now, life expectancy has never been higher, deaths from natural disasters have never been lower, etc, etc.
