Microsoft has been driving me away since the Windows XP days.

Before that (and being young and not exposed to anything else) viewed Microsoft's OS as the best thing since slice bread. I was able to code and do things with Visual Studio 5.0/6.0. In my eyes nothing could compare.

One day, my mouse pointer would slowly move down the screen without touching it. Thinking it was a virus or something, did a reinstall of XP. A few months later, the pointer was playing up, again.

There were other things but it was the start to my journey to GNU/Linux. I was barely exposed to GNU/Linux a year or two before but due to lack of internet at that time, could not grasp the change being a Windows user.

This time I purchased a book on Ubuntu and realised how cool this really is. It also made me appreciate programming. I no longer was 'clicking the play button' on Visual Studio. Now I was understanding how to compile with gcc.

Since then I would choose GNU/Linux over Windows most days of the week. The only exception is my job.

For example, I have one job that still uses legacy software. We are talking programs originally written in the late 90s in Visual Basic 6. I have to use Windows. Some program before I joined moved over to .NET and SQL Server. My goal is to move away from Microsofts tools. No more Windows Servers. Using (perhaps) Go, Postgres, etc. The Company would save a lot more money as well.
Baby Steps.

I don't hate Windows, but I still have to install it on one laptop and the amount of stuff I don't want gets annoying!

Most of the time I am using Debian, both on my (other) laptop and as a Server machine.

I could say more but that will do.

more than 5 years ago, Google already had an advanced platform for serving llm with dialogflow (ex-api.ai before they got acquired by Google). their feature list vastly outdo what openai is offering today.

the core difference is the core model's performance, but the maximum potential is night and day imho. they had a good chance to do well in this front but did not end up making the most yet.

At some point we should, for the most part of what we consume, instead of ever expanding into BS things we don't need (like "smart fridges") and burning down things we do need (time, which we aren't getting back, and is spend working and paying for such bullshit).

That you can't legally quit.

There are plenty of ways to quit. E.g. deserting, self-wounding. You also got different forms of mutiny and "fragging" officers (not really quiting, but refusing to do the job).

Yes, but I don't recall many people claiming blowing up the gas pipelines was good, whoever it was that did it. Even if you wanted that pipeline gone, releasing all that methane wasn't a good thing to do.
Right, so when it jives with moderator opinion, its fine to reverse the meaning. "don't editorialize"
The video in the article (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AST12aDGf0Q) shows that PWAs are completely gone. They are degraded to pinned bookmarks that open in your default browser. Yes, you can still pin bookmarks, as you always(?) could, but those are not PWAs.

Only PWAs can offer a true app-like experience.

When I thought of building the feature to make sure that requester as well traveller can make an entry, the idea was, requester would do it because they want something to be brought up between locations, and traveller would make an entry because they might earn some money bringing the parcel for someone from requester.
Most programming is not really a difficult problem, in fact it is rather boring. That is why 200IQ programmers are constantly making it more complex than necessary. They need a challenge. Plus, it gives them authority.

User never has to manage cache space which has always been the case. Also your normal user cannot do that, without system level privileges. Third party apps where to able to call adb directly on FireTV which is not the case on other Android devices with GMS. In fact if you build Android with access for third party to call adb, Google will never let you pass CTS and you cannot have Google Play on it. It’s a huge misstep from security point for Amazon sell devices with adb access for third party apps.

The first word underneath the article’s title is “sadly”. I’m not sure why. A transparent display is the last thing I’d want on a PERSONAL device. What I do with my personal computer is my own business, I don’t need the whole world seeing everything I do.

Sure, this kind of display has its own use cases, as the article describes. But those are pretty niche.

Well, if you live in the US, then this is true. In Europe or somewhere else, I'm not so sure.

LBS Newsletter #5: Value of flexibility
> When you communicate, it’s not enough to explain a solution. You have to painstakingly help others internalize the problem.

This is why I think startups or small groups of people are still able to outcompete bigger incumbents. So many people worry “if I share my great idea, someone will steal it and implement it!”

Far more often I’ve found it to be the case that I catch myself wondering if it would be less work to start a competitor to my current company based on my idea rather than continue attempting to translate it, broadcast it, and massage it into some form that convinces a critical mass of coworkers of its value such that it eventually turns into action.

At least by starting my own company, I’ll know pretty quickly whether it was actually a good idea or not.
Giving women the opportunity to be self sufficient is not intending to prevent births.
Not sure. You wont get the best people by being cheap. If FAANGs are making monstrous profit they don’t want to rock the talent boat. If you have a company making crazy profit and the people making that happen get paid 5 figures those people just leave and get YC to pay 6 figures for a small slice of their next idea.
If you ask it for any kind of family picture, other than White, eg Hispanic, Black, Asian it acts like it should.

Ask for White, and you get a picture without a single Caucasian.

It's hard to see the engine as anything other than hot garbage after a few simple tests like that.

More like 20 minutes to charge that much in something like a model 3.
He likely did not and would not. A quick search using America as an example says that prompting CEO and getting a white male would make it 94.1% correct, if the number of 5.9% of CEOs are black is to believed. And of the approx. 3 million nurses 86.0% are woman, which makes those prompts very accurate.
The same cant be said when a prompt including the word white with male or family returns anything but 95% of the time.
These are foundation services not one of the trilllion implementations of "Chat with your PDF."
Running local government can be assigned by lottery, in the manner of jury duty. How about CEOs too ? Select people by lot from the shop floor / cubicle farm. Then stand back and watch the magic happen.

And deadrecking is already standard in anything military anyways. For decades.

As an added data source to improve navigation accuracy, the approach sure is interesting (I am no expert in nav systems, just remotely familiar with some of them). Unless the approach was tried in real world scenarios, and developed to proper standards, we won't see it used in a milotary context so. Or civilian aerospace.

Especially since GPS is dirt cheap and works for most drone applications just fine (GPS, Galileo, Glanos doesn't matter).
OpenAI isn't involved in the daily lives of over a billion people. Google's mistakes, for now, have much bigger impact and the problem is especially egregious as the company has near-infinite resources for preventing it.

Also, Google has always adopted a fairly radical and political stance in the DEI subject (relative to the cultural average pretty much everywhere), so it's no surprise that people are making a much bigger deal in this case.
What if it's "dwindle" or "oscillate not far from zero" for humanity?

Broader culture plays down all the atrocities and sheer waste of war for its own psycological purposes. Treating PTSD as dubious is simply collateral damage when it comes to pretending that war means anything but exploding living humans over dirt / oil / religion / money / power.

As much as I love Proxmox, it’s not a VMware replacement unless you’re a small shop with knowledgeable people. There is a huge gap between “homelan where I can play with ZFS” to “enterprise-grade workload management and redundancy” that it only partially addresses.

Maybe in a few years. I know that if I was working there, I would be trying to close as much of that gap as possible while the migration opportunities are still around.
It seems like there are zero startups here other than OpenAI and some other well war-chested funded companies that would last for 3 years here or make any money.

To optimize the loading speed of your webpage, consider focusing on LCP, FCP, and TTFB – three essential web vitals. Additionally, INP (Interaction to Next Paint) is a newer metric that has been gaining importance for measuring user experience.

It's a commonly repeated trope, yet more often than not such concern being voiced was almost immediately followed by a period of severe decline for the commentator's civilization.

Aristotle saw the end of Athenian democracy and the rise of the Alexander the great, and the following Hellenistic period of mediterranean disorder. Horace was hardly the only one to discuss roman decline, look for Suetonius, Juvenal or Petrone for other examples of same era romans lamenting the decline of Rome.

As for Huxley, it is interesting that much of what is pointed out in this short commentary echoes Ortega y Gasset on the "Revolution of the Masses", Oswald Spengler also comes to mind.

Human history is that of the rise and decline of civilisations, we may well have already been on a downward slope for the past 100 years.

It’s not though. Apple are bringing in hundreds of billions of dollars every year from hardware. That’s not a means to an end, that is the end itself.
No. It's months at the very least.
Most likely licensed at exorbitant prices or killed, Broadcom likely can’t get a sizable chunk of money for it given the current state of desktop virtualization, and they are all about tossing small customers to the ditch.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but these "pinned bookmarks" can be on the homescreen like a link that opens in your default browser, right?

> Only PWAs can offer a true app-like experience.

If one's definition of an app requires push notifications and local storage.

I get the d!ck move from Apple, but web apps can be way simpler without push notifications and storage on a server under your control. To me personally, push notifications and local storage are overrated.
You can get a cheap used mac. You're just being silly now.
It's not just them. Even software engineers under 35 don't use desktop computers any more, except at work. At home, for personal use, they just use phones, unless they're into the latest video games.

The static megabytes on disk are not a problem [1], the runtime, battery, and memory overhead from them being written in JS+DOM is.

[1] never got anywhere near close to run out of space on iOS because of apps (at 50+ apps installed). Besides the big offenders space-wise are not general apps and their code dependencies, but games with huge asset libraries.
I was successful with a side project, but it was to solve a problem my employer had. I kept it closed source and provided it on my own site for free, and it was clear it was mine, not theirs. Having dealt with problems and additional requirements, when I left I launched it separately as a paid Service with a free tier. Proved to be an earner over many years.

If you are employed it might be a path to consider?
Under rated comment.
Like others, I think the categories are a bit iffy. But tbh It's really hard to correctly delineate stuff. Terms like 'IDE', 'workspace', 'pipeline', 'workflow' and 'platform' all end up semantically merging. ComfyUI, for example, could sit in a bunch of these categories because it's basically become an eco-system unto itself. It's useful to surface singular libraries and SaaS tools, but lots of the other things are plural in nature. It might be prudent to make these categories more continuous by using a tagging approach instead? Ps. I love overview dashboards like this and happy to see it's community-editable.
If you want flexible time off and don't care about cash, you can do volunteer work. Plenty of that to go around.

You want to get paid because you want stuff? Well, tough luck finding someone to give you money for nothing (and the chicks for free). You can start your own business and spend literally all of your time worrying about cash and no time off OR you can get used to that's how things are. Switch jobs, find out other places are even worse and eventually settle into something that feels comfortable enough to deal with for an extended amount of time.

In the army, btw. they're actively trying to kill you sometimes. As long as your office job consists of a heated room with a computer and a coffee maker you're better off than 80% of the rest of the world.

Drop out, change careers, start a farm. Do whatever to find out it wasn't so bad after all or find something better. Sitting around and complaining that it isn't different won't change anything.
It is ethically sound.
> You're right. It's a very dynamic area, so more change could come at any time. For now, I'm glad they've reduce the overall number of names being used.

As for AI apps. There is "Assistant", "Gemini", "AI studio", "Gemma", "Natural language" (yes really, as in "Google Natural Language", not sure what it does), "Duet", "Duet for workspace", "Cloud Vision", ... This you call reducing names?

> The general consensus seems to be that for a long time Google employees were lazy/complacent/taking-it-easy. If it was as bad as has been said,

This would make sense ... except then I look at a bunch that I know were fired and I have to say, I don't agree these people were being lazy. Plus ... loads of people with exceptional skills, that found new jobs, in some cases even before the layoff announcement, and all but one I knew in less than 2 months. This, to me, does not sound like lazy people.

Besides, that wouldn't even matter. The problem with lazyness is that the choice is clear: what do you want? A very lazy expert? Or a very eager incompetent worker?

The truth there is simple: A lazy expert will perform between 0 and incredible. A very eager incompetent worker will perform between destroy the project entirely and slighly above 0.

And in my experience what works well for software is a mix. Lazy or not, medium to expert ... 80%, eager juniors 20% or so. And the juniors cannot be entirely junior (finished a decent education, capable of serious programming on day 1).

I noticed that you moved the goalpost. Quite a bit. "Cannot" to "need a mac" is an enormous move.

If you think sales of macs are affected in a measurable way by the fact that xcode runs on it you are delusional.
Water is one resource of interest. In particular every kilo of it we can find on the moon is a kilo we don't have to drag out of earth's gravity well.
There should be some occupancy rate baked into the analysis as well, no? It doesn't make sense if it's mostly/purely on the basis of the rent, a property with 10 units that has one tenant on a sky high rent but otherwise is completely unoccupied is much worse off than a 10 units property with 10 tenants paying 20% of the sky high rent.
Oh boy, are you mistaken. Big contracts with upcoming renewals have already been approached and are being hit with 3x-5x increases on hypervisor licensing alone (source: I used to be in the ISP/hosting business and have recently consulted on an infra provider acquisition that is hung on this).

Ask HN: Tools for using spot instances for ML training?
I'm starting to get into training large networks. I have a fair amount of cloud credits on Azure, and I'd love to spend them efficiently and use spot instances for training.

For motivation: a regular A100 instance on Azure in US West 3 costs $2682 on demand and $291 as a spot instance.

Are there any good tools for distributed training in PyTorch on spot instances?

Linux is also removing tools people use. Just the other day I found out hcitool and rfcomm were removed from bluez, yet another thing I now have to handwrite myself even when I just want to tinker.

Sure, you can still do things like I can write to a socket using python over using rfcomm, but isn't it the same as this article? It's gets in the way of gnome and friends wanting to "cater the experience" plus it's legacy now (meaning "I don't want to read someone else's code, blegh!") So out it goes! Developers in foss seem to love label things "legacy" to remove, not just in windows and mac land.
Gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers!
The empirical evidence consistently shows labor unions reducing productivity. The real problem is that a significant fraction of the population benefits from the economic rent extraction that unions engage in, so they have a strong motivation to argue that have some redeeming quality.
You can politely say no to everything they push on you, who cares about how their face looks like. I bought my car last year and while it involved a long wait (I went there in a busy day), once it was my turn it was basically a 30 minute process to buy the car without a loan.
You can do the exact same in Intune :)

As the other reply said, this is something you need to enable to only the most expert admins, and have processes to test it properly before you deploy it to the entire population.

FWIW our antimalware solution has the same capability.

But JAMF is the 'gold standard' because they are the only ones that really focus on Mac management. The used to be called Casper Suite, perhaps that rings more of a bell (I think JAMF is a pretty poor name but anyway)
