Yep, especially because those three people are not sitting at their computers, doing work to advance the investigation themselves.

Even when I was still working in an office, coordinating incidents through a Google Hangout and a Google Doc to keep rough notes was the way to go. Want to show something? Share screen. Want to talk in private? Jump into a private hangout. Want to jot down some thoughts/unfinished ideas? Throw them into the document (the Hangout chat was pretty useless because people joining later couldn't scroll back) or into the dedicated Slack channel for the incident.

If anything, incidents have become much easier to coordinate thanks to all the tooling that we now have - though that requires an active incident commander (who also makes sure that Deanna, Deepak, and Sylvain are not just waiting, but investigating other possibilities). Fortunately, someone has written an article on how to become a better incident commander :)
It could be I guess, but more practically the zero's might pose a difficulty to people trying to run related command-line programs as fonts used online or in screenshots might not differentiate well enough between zero and big-O.
Show HN: Python package for rule-based chunk retrieval in Pinecone
Hey HN, sharing a python package we built for our design partners to simplify filtered vector similarity retrieval in Pinecone using a rule-based abstraction layer. Developers often tell us that they know exactly where to find the answer to a question within their raw data, but for one reason or another, their RAG pipeline is not pulling in the right chunks. By leveraging Pinecone metadata filters to narrow your search you can usually get some decent results instead of (or in addition to) having to re-chunk raw data, partitioning vectors, or tweaking prompts. This package provides a rule-based abstraction layer for building and managing Pinecone metadata filters using page numbers extracted from PDFs.

The class action, brought by Maurice Blackburn Lawyers in 2019, was filed on behalf of more than 8000 taxi and hire car owners and drivers who said they lost income when Uber entered the Australian market.

It depends on what you're looking for. If you're doing hobbyist stuff, using Arduino libraries (or even Linux single-board computers) will get you a processor agnostic solution. However, if you're dealing with production in volume, using 95% of the capabilities of a 45 cent chip is much better than using 50% of the capabilities of a 2 dollar chip, and there's nothing that'll get you there besides dealing with hardware specific features (and therefore datasheets).
I've changed garage door springs myself; it was pretty easy. However, there are different types. The torsion ones are the scary ones, and I wouldn't touch those either.

Other (generally older) doors have longitudinal springs. When the door is open, the spring is uncompressed, and very easy to change. Just make sure to block the door so it can't close while you're working, and install the safety wire (it goes through the spring so if they spring breaks, it doesn't hit something).

Modern doors usually don't have this kind because they take up space in the garage. The torsion kind are on top of the door and stay out of the way.

>* By corralary I'd be willing to bet that robots increase employment rather than decrease it.*

I guess that begs the question - how? The transitions you mentioned, as you said, eliminated a ton of jobs. This appears to be no different in the sense that computers and robots will do more both traditionally "skilled" and "unskilled" jobs alike. Perhaps the notion of what a job actually is, or how people view work. I don't know.
I don't feel assured in the slightest. Cherry-picking one of the poorest performing "self driving" systems is a bit disingenuous.

I rather liked using gather.town during a period of time where our team often needed to pull together to swarm on some outage or performance program or bug. We were up against a very tight deadline for a client and there was a massive feature bumping up against some hard realities.

I absolutely wouldn't want that to be my daily life, but while we needed it, it worked. More than that, it was better than being in an office- when I wasn't needed or wanted to crack down on something without distraction, it was super easy to get away from the noise. When I saw a bunch of avatars in a meeting room, I could pop in without causing a disturbance to see if it was about anything I could pitch in on.

Thankfully, we're long past that point, and it became a lot less useful to the point that our team stopped using it not long after we were out of crunch mode.
The emphasis here is Single Image, but can this model generate with multiple images too?

We know that a single image of an object physically can't cover all the sides of it, so it's all guesswork in AI. This is totally fine for certain scenario, but in lots of other cases, it's trivial to have multiple images of the same object, and if that offers higher fidelity, it's totally worth it.

I'm aware there are many algorithms or AI models that already
do that. I'm asking about Stability's one specifically because if they have impressive Single Image result, surely their multi-image results would also be much better than state-of-the-art?

You're right, if you include people living outside the US. To those outside its easy to see the flaws.

But I belive the original snark, and explanation, wete referring to the majority of people living inside the US. From that perspective there's an implicit understanding that the US leads the way (in every field) and their approach to society is best (in all contexts.)

This is of course evidenced by the number of people who desire to live there, and hence the immigration issues. (Immigration issues being a uniquely US phenomenon.)
Another major problem is recruiting for something specifically, explicitly niche instead of adjacant skills that directly imply ability to learn it. Whatever gain they thought they were going to get by filtering so hard to derisk is lost many times over by lack of availability of the specific experience creating endless delays.
That makes no sense.

The parent is right, though. Both Google and Apple send encrypted telemetry that you cannot MITM or decrypt a-la HTTPS or TLS. The average iPhone and average Android phone lights up like a Christmas tree in Wireshark - some of it can be reverse-engineered with TLS or DNS abuse, some of it is RSA encrypted against the hardware root-of-trust.

Apple's mea-culpa is that unlike Android they do not ship an Open Source OS ROM for developers to modify. Google's telemetry can be entirely neutralized by removing Google Play services and using Android without Google software. iPhones don't have that escape hatch, leading to a pretty literal limitation of how you "own" your phone and the software on it. On top of that, iOS has a permissions architecture Apple designed to give the user second-class control over the network. You cannot MITM Apple services - they will go around whatever user-land profile you think you've set. On top of that, there are modem emissions that you're never going to catch with a MDM profile hack and certificate pinning. You have fully drank the kool-aid if you think an empty aircrack-ng screen means "you won" against the multitrillion dollar company and coalition of government regulatory bodies.

From the following link/page:

https://agner.org/optimize/#instructionset

>"ForwardCom: An open standard instruction set for high performance microprocessors

This is a proposal and discussion of how an ideal instruction set architecture can be constructed. The proposed instruction set combines the best from the RISC and CISC principles to produce a flexible, consistent, modular, orthogonal, scalable and expansible instruction set for high performance microprocessors and large vector processors.

The ForwardCom instruction set has variable-length vector registers and a special addressing mode that allows the software to automatically adapt to different microprocessors with different maximum vector lengths and make efficient loops through arrays regardless of whether the array size is divisible by the vector length. Standardization of the corresponding ecosystem of ABI standards, function libraries, compilers, etc. makes it possible to combine different programming languages in the same program."

I found this page searching for a list of all CPU IPC counts (Instructions Per Cycle a.k.a. "Instructions Per Clock": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle) because I wanted to determine which CPU or CPUs are the current record holders in terms of max IPC -- maximum Instructions Per Cycle...

But apparently IPC is only part of the story...

IPC depends, among other things, on a CPU's Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), so:

creating an ISA specifically for Max IPC

...seems to make a lot of sense!

(Hence, Agner Fog's ForwardCom ISA page -- as referred to by this post...)

> Modern technology wouldn’t exist if we had this philosophy 200 years ago

This is a really bad line of thinking - 200 years ago humanity was small and helpless. In year 1788 Britain, the centre of industrial revolution, produced 32,000 tons of iron. Today we produce billions. Our ships weigh more than all the fish in the ocean combined. The chickens we eat weigh more than all the wild animals left on the planet.

200 years ago we did not have the ability to create completely new synthetic chemicals that last thousands of years, today we have put so much plastic in the ocean, it will soon outweigh all the fish.

We didn't have to care about the planet because we couldn't break it- now we can

> when megawatt TV stations were still a thing

In my country it was just few years ago with this tower.

I don't know sum of power of all transmitters (looks like it was secret information), but I knew few engineers, worked at radio stations and TV channels, who have their equipment installed there, and they talked about tens Kilowatts each one.

So, I think, when analog TV used, total transmission power exceed megawatt, now, yes, they use DVB, and I hear moderate numbers, about 20kW on each base station.

Must say, digital changed world, it give much clearer reception, but lost magic.
This is how we get to Idiocracy. Everyone is now relying on AI and become stupid because of it.
I dunno. A lot of the incidents I’ve dealt with have been at ~3 am. No way I’m driving to the office then. So it’s good to be good at doing this remotely, even if it isn’t your first choice. (Full disclosure, it is my first choice. I agree with the sibling poster that having someone stare at me as I debug is not my preferred debugging environment. I need to be able to stare off into space and think “why the hell is this happening?!?!” without judgment.)
The environments where people work and live are designed for humans, so the humanoid form is a reasonable default choice when designing a general-purpose machine meant to operate in those environments.
That's if you don't count the other fifty health threads it came up in...
While you are correct, this is one of those cases where statistics can be misleading.

"The other source which is heavily influenced by a few large-scale accidents is hydropower. Its death rate since 1965 is 1.3 deaths per TWh. This rate is almost completely dominated by one event: the Banqiao Dam Failure in China in 1975. It killed approximately 171,000 people. Otherwise, hydropower was very safe, with a death rate of just 0.04 deaths per TWh – comparable to nuclear, solar, and wind." [1]

While there are reasons for and against nuclear and hydro, their safety difference is not material.

I wonder if the claims of danger are exaggerated to keep those in the business making $$$, and spread like rumours aided by the lack of information in that era. Now that there's YouTube, and an abundance of information (and accompanying misinformation, of course), the truth can come to light.

Then it wouldn't be C.

C is 52 years old. For most use cases, there are better options.

Instead of trying to apply bandages to C or C++, why not move to something better?

Legacy code written in C or C++ can be maintained or rewritten as needed. New code should not be written in C or C++ because it is not safe--thus the White House warning.

What does ipv6 give you that virtual hosts don't?
I'm not a fan of car insurance company practices, but I don't think this line of reasoning makes sense. Driving safely is directly under each individual's control. Obviously things happen that couldn't reasonably be predicted and avoided, but you can choose to drive 65mph on the highway instead of 85mph, and if that actually does correlate with lower accident rates, then I think it's fair game for insurance to charge differently based on that.

Health outcomes are... more complicated. Yes, there are things you do have control over that can make you more healthy or less healthy, but there are many confounding factors that might make you a big drain on your health insurance provider.

Of course, no way in hell am I going to let insurance companies pry into my life to that degree.
Demystifying Embedding Spaces Using Large Language Models
I don't think that's particularly responsive, to be honest - it's an argument the story is important but I doubt any reasonable person disagrees with that.

This is an ongoing catastrophe, and we need to have an ongoing conversation about it. When new information is reviled we need to have a conversation.

Little of what has happened in the... I think 3? gigantic threads that have been on HN about this qualifies as 'conversation' so there's that enourmous problem, given the remit of the site. And just as importantly, 'we need to have a conversation' is not a meaningful practical approach for obvious reasons, about any topic in a limited space. The case needs to be made more specifically and probably addressed at someone who can take it into consideration which would be hn@ycombinator.com
> This seems reasonable to me: if you do things that statistically correlate to being more likely to cause an accident, why shouldn't the insurance company charge you more?

The question is, though, does "hard braking" actually correlate to being more likely to cause an accident? I don't think anyone has supported these assertions with evidence.
Not all of them. This problem isn’t an artifact of remote work or even geographically distributed teams. You might just call someone from your desk and comfortable setup, instead of walking up a flight of stairs.

Or you might be in a different building, in a different city, or different country halfway across the world.

Or it might just be 4 AM for everyone, and there might be no time to go into the office, even if you all normally sit together.

All of these are real things I’ve seen and not hypothetical in the least.

I thought the 3 year thing was standard for many years, pretty much as long as there have been retail-boxed CPUs.

I think the logistics of a long term CPU warranty might be difficult too; aside from a few perennial, typically embedded market, products, manufacturers want to close out product lines and keeping warranty spares for decades becomes a burden.
