The do have some use. Take for example the AI images of the pope wearing luxury brands that someone made about last year. They clearly wanted to make it as a joke, not to purposefully misinform people, and as long as everybody is in on the joke then I see no issue with that. But some people who weren't aware of current AIgen capabilities took it as real and an AI tag would have avoided the discussion of "has AI art gone too far" while still allowing that person to make their joke.
Here's a guide I found useful to set up zotero storage. In brief, it relies on zotfile to flatten the storage (keep all pdfs in one directory) and better bibtex.

I realized that it helped me to get rid of exactly the pain with fresh installs that you mention. I realized that the two plugins give me most of the functionality that I want.

No, I don't believe I am. If you have any mind, I do love discussing these topics. In particular I'd posit that the great sea explorers were setting out with far less information, far less knowledge of the dangers that awaited them, and with far less capability for reconciling those dangers. Something like scurvy, whose cure/cause wouldn't be completely understood until the early 20th century (!!!), was just an absolutely devastating issue. It could kill within months and nobody had any clue of what or why it was happening. It's just that you go to sea, your body starts rotting in some of the most painful ways imaginable, and you die relatively shortly thereafter. And that was just a part of life at sea!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Telegraph has been predicting (continental) European wipe-out since at least 1957.
Security through obscurity is really a bad idea, and Apple is no exception. In the long run, this will likely drive the adoption of RiscV as a better alternative.

> It's not just possible but quite sensible to support these particular protestors' particular claims without necessarily supporting all possible vetos of all possible construction projects OR supporting fully arbitrary selections of "protestable projects."

Right but even that's absurd. You're basically saying "people shouldn't be able to use protests to veto whatever they want, unless it's A Good Reason™". For one, what is "A Good Reason"? How would the judicial or executive branch decide? Or is it up to the court of public opinion? Shouldn't that be left up to the legislature than whoever is terminally online on twitter or whatever? What happens if I think it's A Good Reason but you don't?

>Now you're making shit up about "they believe the protestors can do no wrong" to shore up your ridiculous dichotomy that even you don't actually believe.

I'm not sure how "they believe the protestors can do no wrong" is an incorrect depiction unless you interpret "can do no wrong" literally, to mean that even if they committed war crimes or whatever they'd be still left off the hook. It's pretty clear what's happening is that the protesters in question are fighting for a cause that some commenters support, and as a result they're given extra leeway to conduct activities that would otherwise be considered illegal. For instance if a bunch of farmers[1] decided to protest in a major capital by setting up encampments and blocking traffic for weeks, I doubt they'd be left off the hook.

[1] feel free to replace with other groups if you happen to sympathize with them, eg. NIMBYs, white nationalists, etc.
You're right, it says speculation. I read it as speculative execution, I have never ever heard the term "speculation" applied to prefetching...

But if they did mean to include pre-fetching in "speculation" then I retract my comment

There should be a balance between workers bleeding dry in capitalism, and workers don't have (good) jobs because it's too much hassle with "regulations and labor protections", and is not worth the outcome.

Really, if in a (over)socialist country I have an idea to build my personal wealth, why would I give jobs to all these protected guys, if I can leave them jobless, and get €€€ using minimal team I can assemble. Ideally - being solopreneur at all.
For what it's worth, I have spent much of the last several years undoing someone's untested pile of garbage in Excel and making clean, tested, code with reproducible results in DBT.....

I would say Open AI's Whisper just works, a nice GUI wrapper that leverages Metal/GPU/Co-processors is "Hello Transcribe"

Whisper transcribes conversations from audio files. Hello Transcribe is a GUI wrapper by someone else that uses Whisper under the hood to create subtitles in subtitle format with timestamps.

Does not distinguish between speakers though

I wish other use cases were considered by that application, as I pretty much never want subtitle files and never plan to

There are some techniques to distinguish between speakers but I haven't seen anyone put the combinations together in a nice GPU leveraging app.

Unfortunately this is not an option everyone can avail of since we are, by the design of our society, in competition with our peers for necessities like housing and healthcare.

At Soundslice we're using a custom machine learning system to convert sheet music images into semantic music data:

https://www.soundslice.com/sheet-music-scanner/

Personally I think the user experience is interesting because we show you very specific questions for low-confidence decisions. Some example screenshots are on that link above. Over time, the number of manual questions has gone down, as our models have gotten smarter about the (seemingly endless!) edge cases in music notation.

Once music is uploaded and scanned, you can use our bespoke notation editor to make any edits. The original image is tightly integrated into our editor, so you can cross-reference.

This is my first production ML product after 20 years of being a web developer. I wrote up some general thoughts here: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/machine-learning-thoughts/
This RISC-V evangelism is worrying. Using RISC-V doesn't make your system secure; Good ISA implementations do. The ISA has no bearing on security vulnerabilities. Perhaps a faulty decoder could be a vulnerability vector, but a faulty RISC-V decoder wouldn't be compliant, and neither would a faulty ARM decoder.

If I add a custom crypto extension to a RISC-V core and implement it badly, is that the fault of RISC-V? No! It's my own. And RISC-V doesn't help anyone here because their license allows me to keep my extension completely closed source - no different than Apple is today with ARM.
Brutally honest career advice to my younger self
Discourse has terrible UX compared to other online forums and even mailing lists.

Your claim that it's superior needs to clarify exactly what is superior about it.
The best experience with AI is not using it at all. I prefer interacting with humans.

I used mailmanlists.net for a few years and it worked very well.

I will turn 64 this year. Started programming in 1974, employed since 1979. I never moved into management for long, I don’t like it.

If you want to stay employable master the fundamentals. Despite all the surface churn software development changed very little during my career. I still use Unix (Linux), vi (vim), SQL, and C-family languages every day. And I use lots of newer stuff too.

Don’t focus on frameworks or other fads and fashions. You may have to learn them but don’t think “React developer” describes a long-term skill you can rest on.

Make as many friends and contacts as you can at places you work. Not just fellow nerds — I have contacts who run companies, work as CFOs and logistics managers, have senior positions at Silicon Valley companies, banks, government. A good network of people who respect you will prove invaluable. Treat your work colleagues like gold, help them get jobs, stay in touch.

I don’t have the energy of a 20-something anymore, I can’t work 16 hours on pizza and beer like I used to. But I don’t need to burn so hot, I usually already know how to solve the problem because I’ve seen it ten times already.
LLM performance is about parallelism but also memory bandwidth.

Groq delivers this kind of speed by networking many, many chips together with high bandwidth interconnect. Each chip has only 230mb of SRAM[0].

From the linked reference:

"In the case of the Mixtral model, Groq had to connect 8 racks of 9 servers each with 8 chips per server. That’s a total of 576 chips to build up the inference unit and serve the Mixtral model."

That's eight racks with ~132GB of memory for the model. A single H100 has 80GB and can serve Mixtral without issue (albeit at lower performance).

If you consider the requirements for actual real-world inference serving workloads you need to serve multiple models, multiple versions of models, LoRA adapters, sentence embeddings models (for RAG), etc the economics and physical footprint alone get very challenging.

It's an interesting approach and clearly very, very fast but I'm curious to see how they do in the market:

1) This analysis uses cloud GPU costs for Nvidia pricing. Cloud providers make significant margin on their GPU instances. If you look at qty 1 retail Nvidia DGX, Lambda Hyperplane, etc and compare it to cloud GPU pricing (inference needs to run 24x7) break even on hardware vs cloud is less than seven months depending on what your costs are for hosting the hardware.

2) Nvidia has incredibly high margins.

3) CUDA.

There are some special cases where tokens per second and time to first token are incredibly important (as the article states - real time agents, etc) but overall I think actual real-world production use or deployment of Groq is a pretty challenging proposition.

CNCF boss talks 'irrational exuberance' in an AI-heavy Kubecon keynote
These days for senior devs I just hire them as contractors. The W2 software engineer model is fine when you've got a stable long term project, but for how fast this industry moves there's a lot of "internal startup" work that doesn't work well for W2 employees. I'm finding way more interesting work and learning a lot more just floating around being the "internal startup" guy. I've built up a couple clients who know I can deliver and will try to schedule my time in advance for new initiatives. When I need more people, I'll just hire them for a week and see if they work out.

When I was hiring for W2, I'd pair program with them using a web based code editor for two hours. We'd split the work and I'd try to get them to relax and give them a chance to show off. Usually within a two hours I'd know if I was talking to quality.

If they hated pairing, they weren't going to work well on my teams anyway, so I'd make it really clear pairing was pretty much the only nonnegotiable. Everything else was on the table as negotiable, but not that. This kept expectations aligned. The ones who could pair and knew what they were doing were really easy to spot after a few hours.

New hires should treated like like pounds on an airplane. I want as few as possible to get the job done and provide resiliency to a team. A team of three always gets more done than a team of six, etc etc. So I'd aim to hire that one good person over just trying to hit some magic number.

Although clearly I got pretty tired of all the W2 games and drama. I got tired of being told to hire X people when X/3 would objectively get more done, then later being told to layoff Y people because we were spending too much. That cycle got real old after a couple loops.

Now I'm just out as a free agent with a lot of contacts who can put together a new product quickly. I've got my squad for bigger projects and they've got me. I like this a lot better. However, if you need stable income, it's not the best, you have to be really disciplined to store up grain in the good years to have it through the lean years.

Well, it's not a completely outlandish scenario that the value of `init` might come from a variable that is sometimes at the start of the string and sometimes not, and a newcomer might expect `^` to only match when it is.

Don't get me wrong, it's certainly far more useful as it is, I'm glad it works this way.
The difference is that the Curl call is made in a remote server. Similar to a Proxy, but I suppose the proxy is configured at this website rather than the callsite.
I have two questions about RCS.

First, the pricing model. Similar to SMS, RCS is a service provided by carrier. Many carriers include unlimited text messages in their phone plans, but not all carriers do that. And that's only for domestic messaging. When it comes to international communication, would carriers handle RCS like an instant messaging app or charge users per text message like SMS? That could be a huge number on the bill.

Second, the structure and server. Currently, most carriers have given up on making their own RCS infrastructure and let Google's Jibe run it. If iOS joins RCS, and RCS is implemented globally in the future, how would messages be transferred between different carriers, different cloud platforms, and different operating systems?
I think they are talking about the case where, hypothetically, there is a 10x increase in speed but only 2x increase in power consumption
Ask HN: Biggest challenges in building a GTM team?
Scaleup founders, what were the biggest challenges you faced while building a go-to-market team (PMM, CSM, AE, SDR, BDR, etc.)?
That wasn't my point at all. However imagine the alternative, where they embraced it.
yeah, my thinking is we are to focussed on the current state-of-the-art approaches (i.e ooo superscalar, ht, memory architecture etc) where we can eek out the last few % of performance. I wonder if doing something radically different, would have a different tradeoff for performance vs security/trust.
Agreed. As someone who primarily develops in python, I recently tried this exact same stack as a way of avoiding the inevitable (i.e. learning typescript). After dealing with the complexity of interleaving templates, overly complex information flows, etc. I copied some of the html from the jinja templates I created into a svelte project, added openapi-typescript to glue it all together, and moved on. While I am by no means a fan of typescript and modern web development, it is much easier build things given the extensive ecosystem. And if nothing else, the “frontend” is separate all of the core logic, which makes things easier to understand.
Yeah, it’s the kind of thing you notice when you enable it as the default git diff helper and it’s great almost all of the time until you hit that one weird repo which has gigantic data files.
HN used to have that but most YC founders migrated to Bookface where there is better moderation and less off topic or toxic conversations (just take a look at this entire comment section)

Also Section 174, while annoying, isn't the end of the world for most founders, and there is bipartisan support for a repeal of it.

I think, first of all, you're not wrong, but also, you're mostly wrong. People with completely separate value systems exist, but only theoretically, or historically. I know there's a lot of hand-wringing at the moment about society being fractured and divided, and it may be Pollyannaish of me to say this, but I think we're mostly all on the same side with approximately the same bunch of deep values, by the power of culture (and we more or less all come from the same culture, "modern"). We can have productive discussions, we can work it out. The Myth of the Framework is a relevant book.

The title should probably be "Forcing Windows to load a specific URL in a Edge" as the article only talks about Windows and Edge specifically.

Overall I think you can expect the responses this got based on the author talking about "The purpose of this URL scheme is to enable Windows and cooperating applications to invoke particular user-experiences in the Edge browser" while as a Windows user, the only time I hit this "feature" is when I click on a link and expect it to open in Firefox (my selected default browser) but instead for some stupid reason it uses Edge regardless.
