Now it's “entitlement” to say that I don’t want to pay for access to a language model that is completely useless in a chat format like this (a model that I have plenty of experience with), when I already have access to more useful models through other apps? Wow.

Your comment sets the bar for entitlement really low. So, surely you spend all of your money buying things that you know are useless out of some obligation to not seem entitled? You can see how ridiculous that sounds, so the most charitable interpretation of your comment is that you didn’t actually read my comment before responding.

The feedback I provided was a lot more useful than trying to guilt trip someone into spending money on something they know they won’t get any value out of. If the author switches to a better language model, it will make their app far more attractive to potential buyers, and they can do this, as shown by the existence of other apps that already have. We are fortunate that TinyLlama is not the best model available.

> Mac and Windows ecosystems you'd have no issue even charging up to $7 a month for a AI frontend.

I absolutely would have an issue with paying $7/mo for a TinyLlama-only frontend, no matter the platform. Maybe you’ve never actually used TinyLlama? What have you found it useful for in a general chat environment? How did the accuracy compare to models like Mistral-7B that run just fine on Vision Pro?
that actually seems really inefficient, it could avoid the array allocation and fill call by just moving the length check...
A lot of those $1mil dollar scopes run Linux and connect to fast, high resolution displays; some of them are made by companies not always in love with US licensing.
As JSR develops, you can expect to see more features like those of dnt start to show up in the npm compatibility layer. We've also been exploring how to create a good DX around simultaneously publishing JSR modules to npm, so publishers can control their namespace there as well. We definitely know it's a usage pattern folks are interested in.

In the immediate term, dnt is still a very strong choice for people that want to develop modules in TypeScript using Deno, and then publish them to npm. In the fullness of time, I expect that JSR will provide a pretty complete solution to this problem as well.

Coolidge was born in 1872, so you're looking at more like 5-6 generations from the most modern forms. And I don't see that picking on accent specifics is all that interesting? It's true this isn't the accent that you hear most commonly on the streets of San Francisco, but it's a real one and it and variants still exist today in New England, where he's from.

Again, I'm not saying there is no change at all, I'm saying this change is trivial when compared with language from people born c. 1750's. And that this seems to be reasonably due to the presence of audio recording technology.
You could also just use `String.prototype.padStart()` [1], and you get a nice optimized C++ implementation :D

Privacy protections coming from the Executive and Judiciary are effectively renegotiated every time we elect a new president. If people want real, meaningful privacy protection, they're going to have to motivate their House and Senate reps to make it a priority or replace them with ones who will.
I'm actually kinda shocked people are shocked. This is literally capitalism — and I don't mean the vague boogyman driving greed and enshittification. The idea that government should externalize as much of itself to private companies that are affected by market forces is central to capitalist theory. If you truly believe in our glorious capitalist system this should be great because private companies will meet people's needs better than centrally planned inefficient government.

I went ten times to the South Pole (in Austral summer) from 1997 to 2011, stopping in McMurdo each way for a period ranging from hours to days.

While there definitely is jargon in the US Antarctic program (and presumably overlapping-but-distinct sets of jargon for the New Zealand, Australia, and Great Britain programs), it seems a stretch to call it "Antarctic English." Pronunciation varies a lot more from program to program and even from participant-to-participant (scientists tend to be a fairly international bunch) than the subtle single-station per-season continental drift cited in the papers referenced in the Wikipedia article.

That said, I still find the jargon entertaining:

- Skua - discarded items that can be usefully repurposed by someone else

- Toast / toasty - burnt out, irritable, need to go home...

- Beaker - scientist/engineer working as a "grantee" (funded by NSF scientific grant) rather than by the contracting company which handles most day-to-day operations

- Freshies - precious, sometimes rare (especially at places like Pole) fresh fruits and vegetables

and finally

- Pole - The South Pole. Because those two extra words are so much work to actually say out loud....

Solo travel puts you in that situation a lot, especially rugged travel. The bar to meeting people is lower then.

If you want to kick it up a notch, try travelling some distance without a smartphone and relying on others for information.

Meetups are designed to foster interactions with strangers. So are networking events and the like.

Volunteering is another option. You'll be paired with a bunch of strangers for a few hours.

You can also hit up your local subreddit and invite a few people to some activity. Just pick something you like and ask if other people want to join.

One thing that's confusing is that in French, "voie ferrée" and "chemin de fer" ("iron way"/"path of iron") mean "railroad".
This seems bullshitty / current administration PR stunt - why would IRS bother with things like audits, when cashing out people that have income w/o returns is way easier? The odds of someone having 7 figure income and tax return so simple AND enough expenses/tax losses to offset the income tax fully to not have to file seem astronomically low.

The wording of this thing on the IRS website definitely makes it seem like an election year PR play:

> 900W when actively working.

I'm trying to think of my typical ChatGPT conversations and the flow of them. I probably ask it anywhere between 150 and 1,000 tokens, and then I wait for it to respond to me about 150 to 3,000 tokens

At 30 tokens a second, responses can be "900W" for about 5s to 100s

Then as a human you have to sit there and read what it says (system doesn't need to generate tokens then as you interpret them).

I'm trying to think what that usage graph looks like/what it translates roughly to in terms of full usage for an hour so you can estimate daily usage in kilowatt hour to quantify how intensive peak 900w load really is in real world use...
(I write occasional blog posts for CACM and am also on the editorial board)

If you have ideas for how to improve CACM, the editor-in-chief (Jim Larus) is highly receptive. He's interested in increasing the value of CACM for industry professionals, researchers, and students, and in increasing membership in ACM.

For example, one idea I've shared with him is to make CACM the main gateway for all of ACM content. You'll note that the new CACM has an "Explore Topics" menu at the top, which lists areas like Architecture, HCI, Security and Privacy. My suggestion was to make this a feed for all relevant ACM content, including SIG newsletters that ACM already publishes, paper award winners, recent journal articles, blog posts, etc.

Perhaps it might be useful to get feedback by asking some questions. If you are a member of ACM, what do you find most valuable about it? And if you aren't a member, given that you're on HN and likely interested in a lot of content and conferences that ACM offers, why not? What could ACM do differently or what could it offer that would make membership valuable to you?

> The US needs to enshrine privacy as a basic right - it is unfortunately not listed in your Constitution.

One could make an argument that the Fourth Amendment applied to the modern age would enshrine privacy as a basic right online. I think there are several court cases that might even highlight this. The problem is the Fourth Amendment (and most of the Constitution in general) only explicitly outlines rights when it comes to what the government can and cannot pertaining to citizens, not what private businesses/corporations/other citizens can do.
For me, it resonated strongly with me because I"m a middle aged Asian American with immigrant parents and I have young kids. It hits me in a lot of levels emotionally. I get why someone who doesn't share my background not get it. Also, you kind of need to be in the mood for that type of humor.
Ha, my previous comment was before your new edit mentioning Sora. There is a good reason why the accompanying research report to the Sora demo isn't titled "Awesome Generative Video," but references world models. The interesting feature is how many apparently (approximations to) physical properties emerge (object permanence, linear motion, partially elastic collisions, as well as many of the elements of grammar of film), and which do not (notably material properties of solid and fluids, creation of objects from nothing, etc.)
OpenRC, daemontools, and many other service managers provide daemonizing wrappers, and all substantially predate systemd.

The Systemd Cabal are far from the first to have noticed and attempted to resolve most of the problems they tackled... they do have the most effective "developer relations" team of all of the projects in this space, though.

(I do continue to love their old "It's so much better than System V Init!" talking point... as well as their "You'll never have to write a shell script to start or manage a service again! Declarative, INI-formatted Unit Files For Everyone!" one.)
Language Conceals Reality
There is already a limit on cash payments in the EU:

- €7,000 (US$7,645) max limit across the whole EU (€1,000 for crypto), down from €10,000 just 2 years ago (2 years of high inflation).

- Just €1,000 (US$1,081) limit in France and Italy.

They always blame AML/CFT but it's really just forcing payments into banks and credit card companies that can skim 1-3% of everything.

The guy is Austrian.

> The Nord Stream might be the most "famous" one. How can a society so conservative and risk averse to the point of ridiculousness allow their whole country to be almost exclusively dependent of Russia? It doesn't make any sense.

Nord Stream brought in 55% of natural gas managed in Germany. 50% of natural gas managed in Germany was for export. So there's no "almost exclusive" dependency, use of russian gas wasn't a German peculiarity, and Germany could have thrown the rest of Europe under the bus to quickly get rid of any association with russian gas at a moment's notice (by restricting exports to compensate for the loss.) For the record, Germany didn't do that.

Germany took cheap natural gas, Europe took cheap natural gas, and when the source for cheap natural gas turned out to be a problem, gears were shifted to get away from that. At a cost, certainly, but probably still cheaper than relying only on more expensive gas sources for 50 years. With the added benefit of calming down the cold war (and the attempt to repeat that performance later-on, which in hindsight was unsuccessful)

Most US medical insurances (definitely the one I have from work) will cover rescue (including helicopter) if it was medically necessary. There is nothing specific about via ferrata in Europe that changes financial situation compared to for example hiking and breaking the leg or something like that.
World-Class Teams
Sometimes I wonder if we are trying to optimize productivity in the wrong way. Maybe the bigger gains are not from having tools that help us manage the clutter in communication, but instead it might be on having less communication altogether and still be effective at getting the right things done.

For example, I don't want to optimize my meetings' notes so that I can have tens of meetings and keep track of it. I want to have less, but more effective, meetings.

Just a thought that I have.
> If you want explicitness and reproducibility please don't reach for Docker

Is it common in C++ builds to rely on the current O/S libraries instead of say making most dependencies explicit, close to full cross-compile? Do dependencies need to be pulled in using apt-get and not something like maven?

The agreement of "regular Russians" is a very curious thing. From talking with Russians they weren't expecting or supporting a war with Ukraine even a week before it started.

It was a western lie that Putin wants to invade Ukraine up to the second it happened, and then it became obviously the only possible choice overnight.

The most important thing to understand about Russians is that they were trained for centuries to be passive cynical conformists. It mostly worked. There are some actual nationalists who want the war. But most Russians view them as madmen who are "sticking out" and will suffer for it eventually. It's as stupid to be openly unpatriotic as it is to be too patriotic. See girkin.

Most Russians just subconsciously detect the safest position and orient themselves accordingly. Not because of conscious fear, simply by default. If Navalny became Russian president - the next day 80% of Russians would be completely persuaded they were always against the war. Orthodox church doesn't have much influence, IMHO, it's just aligned like everything else.

Both uses of “crud” and “fried” are parts of the lexicon where I grew up, nowhere near Antarctica. I suppose they must(?) have been imported from somewhere, but neither seems very unique to McMurdo.
The design is mostly limited by what can be built on a budget from off-the-shelf components. Additionally, the magnets plus accumulated scrap metal look pretty heavy- anything far enough in front of the wheel base would change the center of mass in a poor direction.
Being in the same business does not make it trademark infringement. Ubuntu could also advertise "This OS can run software for Windows by using WINE" without infringing on Microsoft's trademark, because they aren't acting under the trademark. Trademarks exist so you can't sell your product under the established name of another company and profit from their reputation or ruin it by selling bad products. Just mentioning the name to state a fact is not forbidden. Just writing a driver and distributing it with the claim "HDMI-compatible" is not trademark infringement. They problem in OP's article is that AMD has a contract with the HDMI Forum.

> No, obviously to re-add jxl without a flag

Is asking for the old thing to be re-added, but without the flag that sabotaged it. It is the same as "you took that away from us, undo that!" Removing a flag does not turn it into a magical, mystical new thing that has to be built from scratch. This is silly. The entire point of having flags is to provide a testing platform for code that may one day have the flag removed.
er, copy? The first and second Chechen wars happened in the 1990s.
Even more common in the world of industrial automation.

Lots of old early-gen PLCs from the 70s/80s still ticking, with no documentation and the techs/engineers/companies long gone.

We worked on one such PLC, around 3 decades old at the point, and it came down to probing I/O, reverse engineering the functionality.

But at some point, if there hasn't been enough legacy support, there comes a time where people just have to bite the bullet and re-build a system from the ground up - and integrate it in parallel with the old system running, until it can be removed completely.

Too bad many of the old and forgotten systems are still running and integral, so they get put inside a glass cage with "DON'T TOUCH!" warning sticker.
