Oh, right. If the high-level task is to generate a translation or summary, I think that’s been swallowed up by the Bitter Lesson (though isn’t it an open question if decoder-only models are the best fit? I’d like to see a T5 with the scale and pretraining that newer models have had).

On the other hand, people seem to be using GPT-4 for simple text classification and entity extraction tasks that even a small BERT could do well at a fraction of the cost.
And yet here you are trending on Hacker News. I think you'll do just fine.
There are so many possible perspectives for such story but in this day and age the focus is on how much this cost.

So let's talk about cost: I don't know how often he sleeps in this way[0] but clearly at £8500/year no one is discussing the externalized cost of taking up (arguably empty) seats he didn't pay for and setting the stage for future "nomads" to do the same and turning first class night trains into a substandard hostel

> That night, I decide to lie down under the seats on my air mattress, the air mattress at 2 meters doesn't quite fit under a 4 seat, so there's still a little bit of the footwell of the square in front of me, but with the low occupancy of the train, this is not a problem whatsoever, with my head half under a seat of the 4 seat. It's tight, but it's enough to lie on your side and change position sometimes at night, I take up about 3 seats in total.

Apple has actually combined the two with their touchpads. When you press on them you get the "click" feedback. But its not actually a physical travel that activates, it's what they call "the haptic engine" that vibrates in a way that makes it feel like you've clicked a physical button. It works really well.

However, I think that such buttons are far more expensive than a physically activated button, even if the latter is engineered to last a lifetime of heavy use.

This changes the complection of the whole article! "Sell for half a billion and get nothing" is _exactly_ what you expect if you raised almost half a billion in finding.

I'm sure all the points in there are important and maybe the author's product is still useful. But it's not really an accurate picture to say that these founders got shafted by unfair terms. They just didn't build a very valuable business relative to the amount of money they spent...
Sounds expensive, are you coming from afar? A few years ago a monthly ticket within the London zones 1-6 (or perhaps it was 1-4) was only 150 pounds per month.
That they had more germs not sure about, my take on the germs part has always been the same thing you have with any invasive species in a new environment. It is mathematically easier for them to spread their germs to indigenous population

There was one major disease Europeans brought back from the Americas: syphilis.

Otherwise, the raft of diseases Europeans brought to the Americas (which devastated the indigenous populations) can be specifically traced back to animal husbandry. The intensity of Europeans’ relationship to domestic animals plus all of the wild animals living in urban areas in close proximity to humans (such as rats) is what led to Europeans being potential carriers of so many diseases. You simply get way more disease exposure from farming (cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry) and living in cities (rats, mice, cats, dogs, bats, insects) than you do in small hunting or fishing villages.

So the germs axis is part of Diamond’s geography argument. Proximity to domesticable animals and cereal grains leads to more exposure to disease, greater concentrations of population, and therefore devastating plagues. Those who survived the plagues had the potential to be asymptomatic carriers who would eventually bring destruction to the indigenous people of the Americas.
Preach. Very little further “innovation” required for turn signals, lights, wipers, windows, mirrors, seat heaters, horn (?!), gear shifter, HVAC, radio.

I love the direction of recent Toyotas that have actually made the driver and passenger side temp. controls even larger knobs than before, with rubberized grips. Also generally pleased with BMW’s iDrive knob to control the center screen for more complex menu-based controls.

Maps/Nav is the only thing that should require a touch screen, and the best interface for that is to delegate to the driver’s phone via CarPlay. Yes, having to lean over and use an index finger to interact with a touch screen while moving is unsafe. Hope the US follows suit.

That's not the problem with him, though. The problem is, he clearly doesn't care whether anyone thinks he's an asshole or not.

And since he seems to be such a huge one of those, it would be nice if he cared that pretty much everyone thinks he is, because then maybe he'd try to stop being one.

You're falsely equating ownership with exchange. He can do stuff for people, who can do stuff for him. He can choose who to do things for, and who does things for him. That's the opposite of slavery.

I'd be surprised if that was the way "most people living in city apartments" do it.

Why wouldn't city apartments have washing machines? (In Germany and most of the rest of Europe we also don't particular need, or care for, driers either, that's what clotheslines are for).

Laundromats I'd say are more for like, students, tourists, travellers, fresh immigrants, people with some temporary arrangements and no stable residence, etc.

"the FAA can ask me, as a regular plane operator, who has nothing to do with the manufacturer, to demonstrate capabilities of the plane”?

If you make any sort of modification or repair to it they could technically recertify it and ask you to demonstrate the required capabilities. This is highly unlikely, but that's why I'm stating that it's technically possible.

"Can some FAA guy come to me if I am an amateur pilot, and ask me to demonstrate that my plane is capable of aerobatics, just because it is able to by registration?"

Is it required to by registration? If it is required and if the plane needed to be certified or recertified, then yes, the plane would need to demonstrate that capability (you could hire a pilot if you don't have the training).

He's not the only one though. I read about a guy that spends his whole days in trains, driving the whole day through Germany. They accounted for that, I'm sure. It just these people are in, what, the 0.000001% or something?

He's subsidized by the state and other passengers, not the company.
Literally the other way around? Dude could hop on the train himself for free literally the same hour and see his friends no matter where they live in a couple hours?

Seriously, I have lived in remote regions and not everybody living there owns a car.
Many people need hours to get to their friends as well.
In an asymmetrical design, the orientation of face carries no extra information, since orientation information is already carried by the orientation of the design on the back.

For decks with a symmetrical back design, the following cards have asymmetrical faces:

- The seven of diamonds.

- The ace, three, five, seven and nine of hearts, clubs and spades.

In my deck (a standard design), none of the face cards are asymmetrical.

So there are sixteen cards that carry orientation information, one of which must be used to define the reference orientation of the deck, yielding 15 additional bits of information.

WRT b: surely using fuel that is above the engine will bring the centre of mass down, because the engine's mass is still there with less fuel mass above it?

Unless the rest of the vehicle's mass (all the other equipment, and crew if it is a manned mission) has more mass than the engine & landing apparatus of course, which I think (caveat: no deep thinking involved here) is likely for manned missions but less so for others? I'm assuming the mission mass is above the fuel (having the fuel on top would presumably be less safe/reliable/practical/other).
More likely it's because fewer desktops AND laptops are being bought in favor of phones and tablets (and Chromebooks).

Windows appeals to two groups with any real loyalty: gamers, and enterprises. Everyone else who was just a casual user just used it for decades because it's what came preinstalled on the most systems. If all you're doing is watching netflix, checking social media, and reading email, you really don't care what OS you're using, unless it forces you to care (at which point, you consider another device).

Gamer loyalty is getting more and more dubious. I wouldn't necessarily say this means that we'll have a ton of Linux desktops though. We'll just likely be seeing fewer PC's in general, as we already have been. And those of us using Linux will be the last to ditch the form factor, as phones, tablets, and smart tv's are more of an appliance than a tool.

I dream of the day someone takes up the effort and develops a garbage collecting front-end for Rust. The language in itself is really nice, it's functional and has nice algebraic sum types. I also like the syntax a lot. One could perhaps even re-use crates, since they've been proven correct by the rust compiler already.
Oh I do exercise that right but it's not that simple. There's only so much the average citizen can do against the marketing and the network effects that a trillion+ dollar company can buy.

Luckily there's such thing as consumer protection laws in EU.

So my family can enjoy at least some protection from idiotic things such as not using industry standard charging cables (USB-C) while still marketing their product as green. And abusing their power against other companies and customers.

We're still left with jokes like a thousand dollar 8GB/256GB laptop sporting glued parts and an outdated 60hz screen (my friends 6year old phone has better screen refresh rate).

Not to mention they compare M3 performance against M1 instead of M2. There's only so much laws can do against deceiving marketing.

That's not how it works. The wider the aperture, the worse the aberrations. IF you can make a lens usable at f/1.8, it will be tack-sharp stepped down. That's why wide primes have a reputation for being super-sharp.

Roughly the same optical design, limited to f/2.8, will be better in all respects.

A good way to think about this -- oversimplified obviously -- is you have a bunch of functions you're trying to cancel with e.g. a linear combination. If you look really close to the center, it's already a flat line. If you step out a little, two are adequate (have the slopes cancel). As you go further and further out, things become increasingly wonky. That's why you have super-complex designs for an f/1.8 zoom -- to get that cancellation right -- but even a single element works fine at f/22.

There actually were f/1.8 zooms all along, but for applications which didn't demand that sharpness (TV and CCTV). You can pick those up cheap and see what happens. They're sometimes fun on a real camera too (many will span a μ4/3 sensor with just a tad of vignetting).

Linux on Android doesn't multiplex or protect software principals from each other. It did for a brief time, but that led to massive vulnerablilities. Because Linux view of hardware (nice symmetric system with homogeneous cores running single OS with shared memory address space) was different from what was the actual state.

For that reason hardware was abstracted away from Linux and it's only used to run Linux programs. It's not containerized. It's isolated to an enclave where damage it can do is minimal.

Android OS is essentially a ball of propietary firmware mud. With Linux programs and Dalvik JVM.

Nice idea

What if I'm trying to fix a bug, and so testing a file, while someone else's edits are being applied to it. That would be painful

CRDT would be great in many ways, but I think for programming I would most often want to reduce the variables, and not see other people's edits until commit/merge

Would CRDT still be useful in that context?
It isn't.

First, Rails is slow. I've never used a Rails-based app and thought "wow, this is fast".

Second, you probably don't want to use Rails to build your front-end. We've come a long way and there are way better front-end tools to use.

Third, because of the second point, you need a developer who knows Javscript/Typescript, and Rails. This is harder to find than just someone who knows Typescript.

Fourth, it's easier to find talent by not using Rails.

There are real reasons why Node.js overtook Rails and they haven't changed in 2024.
Juggling is such an underrated activity. Not only is it rhymthmical which, like walking, is quite soothing for the body, but it also promotes cross-hemisphere communication in the brain.

Our hands get a lot of neural real-estate (see grotesque homunculi) so, unlike walking, activities targeting their communication have significant potential for shaping neural patterns.

Apparently Einstein had an above-normal number of connections in the corpus callosum. I reckon he was an ambitious juggler.
Start with the deck in standard order. Before each step, number the remaining cards from 0 to N. Each card encodes a digit in a mixed radix number:

Absolutely, that's the roundabout scenario. Downsides do outweigh the advantages.
I think that impression reflects on the priorities/ordering that the Bevy team has. They seem to have focused on building a very solid foundation of an ECS framework before focusing elsewhere, so the lower-level stuff is going to be more polished than the higher-level stuff (which I think they have now moved their focus onto)
Isn't the github way of doing things: You add a copyright notice to your code, identifying your repository as the source, and changing the copyright is illegal? That would be applicable to this as well.
Just speculating here, but I'm open to input or counterpoints.

In regards to the term 'lost sales'... are these sales truly even lost? I imagine that if somebody is scrolling through a list of ROMS for games available to download, it's probably a significantly different experience than scrolling through the Nintendo e-shop hunting for a new game to play.

For the ROM list: "oh hey, that looks kinda cool. downloads file"

For the e-shop(same exact game): "looks kinda cool, but not '$40' cool, lol keeps scrolling"

I'd almost play with the idea that ROM emulation could, in some circumstances, increase sales for Nintendo, for example the new console 'Nintendo Foo' comes out, no emulation avenues yet, but a sequel for a game you played on an emulator is only available on the new console. Cha-ching.

'Lost sales' as a reason for litigation doesnt _seem_ to have very stable footing from a logical perspective, albeit I imagine it's only a justifiable means to an end for Nintendo. These little dramas are always so exciting.

I think that the linked comment is out of date, and that this is supported now (hard to tell because it hasn't been close enough to stabilization to be properly documented): https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/68524

As for Polonius changing the underlying mental model, I think this is a natural progression. Rust 1.0 tried to present a simple lexical model of borrowing, and then enough people complained that it has long since replaced the simple model with non-lexical lifetimes in order to trade simplicity for "do what I mean". And since it's not allowed to break any old code, if you want to continue treating borrowing like it has the previous model then that shouldn't present any difficulties.

He bought 1.7 million founders' shares of Paypal (then Confinity, which he cofounded and was CEO of at the time) for under $2000. These are terms you would never offer to an investor, that you'd never offer to an employee.

For comparison, the SEC filing for Paypal's IPO has Thiel Capital investing a bridge loan of $100k in 1998 which was then converted into 500 thousand shares (100x higher valuation than his individual "purchase" the following month).

> Thiel’s unusual stock purchase risked running afoul of rules designed to prevent IRAs from becoming illegal tax shelters. Investors aren’t allowed to buy assets for less than their true value through an IRA. The practice is sometimes known as “stuffing” because it gets around the strict limits imposed by Congress on how much money can be put in a Roth.

We had a pretty active CP/M community in the 80's when the C128 was released. Most of the time I spent in CP/M mode was either running Turbo Pascal or MEX ( the Modem EXecutive ... a telecommunications program. ) We had some CP/M bulletin board systems in the area with downloadable software and source code. This was where I first used archivers such as Gary Novosielski's LU / Library Utilty ... which was kind of like tar. It stored archives in files ending in the extension ".LBR". Versions of ARC were also used at the time. There were stand-alone versions of LZW and Huffman compressors ( Crunch and Squeeze, respectively ) which were often used in conjunction with LU in the same manner that gzip is often used with tar archives.

The posted article mentions how slow C128 CP/M when compared to comparable machines, but I really didn't notice. It ran quickly enough for my needs.
