we are one deal away from having TVs that autoconnect to xfinity hotspots / amazon sidewalk, to upload telemetry and download ads.

I can see people having to open their TVs to cut the wifi chipset's power/antenna in the future to avoid ads.

Just ask what the person's concern is, or what problem it is they're trying to solve. It's best to demonstrate the behavior you would like others to follow.

And if you have retrospectives or can talk to the lead, maybe raise the issue of these types of comments and how unproductive they are to see if new team guidance can get things on a better path. Perhaps bring in guidance about code reviews from a source people might give credence to such as google's review guidance.
The Bolt EV/EUV are apparently very slow chargers, and I got it with maybe 1/3 charge. Around town would have been no problem but it was evening and I was headed for an 80+ mile drive through national forest with +4000 foot elevation change. When it didn't get enough charge for comfort while I stopped for dinner it was time to swap it out.

The ludicrous part is how many TVs display 4K@120, but can only input 2K@120 or 4K@60, just because they have exclusively HDMI 2.0 ports instead of including a DisplayPort 1.4 port.
These toy examples are getting really stale. This one is "how to make a molotov cocktail?" as an example of a "dangerous" question. Recently there was another "ascii drawing" attack where they asked "how do you make a bomb?" with bomb drawn with asterisks. These are not real examples of something dangerous an LLM could tell you.

I want to see a real example of an LLM giving specific information that is (a) not readily available online and (b) would allow a layperson with access to regular consumer stuff to do something dangerous.

Otherwise these "attacks" are completely hollow. Show me there is an actual danger they are supposed to be holding back.

Incidentally, I've never made a molotov cocktail but it looks self explanatory which is presumably why they're popular amongst the kinds of thugs that would use them. If you know what the word means, you basically know how to make one. Literally: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Molotov%20cocktai... is the dictionary also dangerous?

My apologies, the last time I looked at DPDK was in 2016, and I don't believe this was true back then. Either way, it seems that XDP/eBPF is much easier to use. YMMV!

MoE reduces compute cost for inference at scale, but not for training. You still have to train the whole model (plus the router)
The simple fact that they did not list the current SOTA for the size class in their comparison table tells you all you need to know about their confidence. And listing Gemma-2B is like shooting fish in a barrel, might as well also put RedPajama on there.

It's good to see MoE being attempted at the smaller sizes, and it may scale well downwards as well given their results. But regardless, 1.25T is very little training data compared to the 6T that Mistral 7B received and even that makes it barely usable and likely not yet saturated. Before it, the sub-13B size class was considered basically an academic exercise.
I have rented a lot of cars over the years, and wouldn’t be opposed to renting an EV for a business trip where the driving was minor. Family vacation? No. It’s a bit of a deal killer to force me to wait for charging. I allocate about seven minutes into any given car return for a visit to the gas station on the way back. That’s all. How much would I have to allocate for charging if I was required to do it? Hours?

There are a lot of questions that the general populace simply doesn’t know the answers to. It’s really easy for me to believe what was said about range anxiety as a serious contributing factor to the programs lackluster performance. It wouldn’t have undone the damage the extra depreciation cost, but commercial/popular success would’ve come with rewards.
> No, they're probably earning a fortune they'll be proud to pass down to their grandchildren.

Still a drop in the bucket compared to the billionaires being minted semimonthly through combination lottery games, though at least in both cases not a cent of the fortunes being passed to grandchildren came from me.

actually you could argue that the people who did absolutely nothing for society in return for the assurance that none of their family will ever have to work at all, for the next three or four generations if not longer, have nonetheless contributed a net positive to society when compared with the apex parasites who actively work to degrade the quality of life of everyone else for their own gain.

const_cast is only for removing const from references or pointers that actually refer to a non-const object. You can't declare a const variable and then modify it with const_cast. See "Notes" at: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/const_cast

The compiler can indeed put const objects in the executable's .rodata section, which means trying to modify it at runtime will probably cause a segfault (but it's all Undefined Behavior so who knows).
This is one way to go; but the only "problem" with C is management's expectation that production software can be written by people who have only half learned the language, and that is a problem irrespective of which language we are talking about.
> it just doesn't save that much money, even if it works well

You should see how wasteful typical American households are when they use a dumb thermometer. The best energy-saving feature is simply at-home vs away-from-home detection. I don't want my HVAC at home to run when I'm away at work or worse away at vacation, unless the temperature is really extreme. This easily saves me hundreds of dollars for a month-long vacation.

> It seems like you are implying the reason we do stuff is to make money, or at least the main motivating factor for you, or you believe it is for most people.

Being able to make money, especially as a kid would've been ultimate compliment or appreciation to me. Anyone can say kind words, "good job", but if I make money, somehow what I do is actually valuable to other people. Obviously, especially amazing if it is something that I am passionate about, and skilled at. I don't believe this about most people, neither do I disbelieve it, I'm just talking from how I would've felt as a kid. And certainly many of my friends. It would've highly developed my self-confidence.

> With regard to the article. I think given what we know about social networks and young minds, it's already been shown to be a toxic mix. Getting kids on the capitalistic treadmill so young seems extremely cynical and it really does concern me.

I think there are actually much worse things to worry about. If you want to worry about child exploitation, then indeed worry about factory workers who are forced into those conditions, making shoes, but not about kids who are able to use their creativity to provide value because they love doing that.

My thought was to use the regen braking electricity for (more) resistive heating when it has nowhere else to go. It's an extra thing that only gets some use (depending on climate), but not a very expensive extra thing and takes some load off your pad/rotor brakes.
Hey, I'm on the Vercel team. You're right that we will have visibility for these pricing changes in the dashboard, but I'm happy to work with you on this before then. If you're already using ISR, one easy optimization today is to revisit how frequently you are writing (e.g. if it's every 3 seconds, is that necessary?) and potentially explore moving to the on-demand version of ISR.

Yeah, Google is the deal breaker for me. I miss the old days of smart(ish) phones from different brands, none of which spied on you.

> Actual traffic for a metaverse is mostly bulk content download. Highly interactive traffic over UDP is maybe 1MB/second, including voice.

Typical bandwidth for multiplayer games like FPS (Counterstrike, Apex Legends) are around 512kbps-1mbit per-second down per-client, and this is old information, newer games almost certainly use more.

It's easy to see a more high fidelity gaming experience taking 10mbit - 100mbit traffic from server to client, just increase the size and fidelity of the world. next, increase player counts and you can easily fill 10gbit/sec for a future FPS/MMO hybrid.

God save us from the egress BW costs though :)
> and this is considered competitive

Stripe is hella expensive! But they are easy to get started with.

Competitive rates depend on the type of business, i.e. their volume and their fraud risk. The most transparent form of pricing is called “interchange plus” where it’s a flat markup on the interchange schedule. High volume merchants should be able to find a markup in the fractions of a percent.

It is my understanding that the big Stripe customers negotiate lower rates with them as they scale.
Yeah, from what I've read, Tesla max regen is 60+kw. Does it just lockout regen braking until the battery pack is "receptive"?
And then they will decide that no-ads should actually be slightly less ads instead. And if you are still using that Rolu Plus Extreme after two years, you don't deserve to be able to opt out anymore.
I'm not saying it was no factor whatsoever but if you listen to the Hertz investor call they describe the reason for backtracking and they certainly don't cite charging as the primary reason.

> If these LEO satellites can be darkened to 7th magnitude, then a new instrument signature removal algorithm can remove some of the residual artifacts.

The current generation of Starlink satellites is already above the 7th magnitude, so it no longer saturates the CCD. [1] Of course, darkening them further would always be good.

I quite like the layout/presentation of the page, the pricing and how that is presented. It is very compelling. I’d buy it if I were a Rubyist.
It's probably a geographical thing as well, but I'm between age of 30-40, and not from US, I don't want to share the exact details of course.

It is unclear to me whether it is better nowadays, but times are changing quickly, it is hard to even predict future, or future jobs presently, so I think I honestly would be more stressed now if I hadn't set my life, career up, as I was able to do when I was younger.

I just remember school strictly as torture, and my real life beginning when I was able to do actual work and career, that developed my confidence because I was able to achieve real world success at something I naturally enjoy doing.

No point in dwelling on the past, but since we are having this topic, I still would like to question about all the wasted years in the youth.

I think when I started out, it probably was much easier to get coding jobs without any experience, compared to now, so if I was in present time, it would have been much more difficult for me, because ultimately due to all the difficulties I had a very non standard route of getting where I am.

> What's the problem with children working as long as there aren't forced to do so?

I think one the problems is that it's quite difficult to identify where a child is choosing to "work", and where a child has been coerced into the activity. There's a reason why we have a concept of ages of consent, where a child cannot consent to certain things, because their brain has failed to develop sufficiently yet in order to either understand the implications of their choices, or to understand whether this is actually their choice, or one that has been bestowed upon them.
Huh. Every few years when I pick it up, the writing just pulls me straight through.

Not saying there's anything wrong with your experience (certainly it's taken me active effort to read some highly recommended books, and sometimes I've quit), just that this is likely a YMMV thing.
+1. I wonder if this is another Google Search situation, where car manufacturers have agreed to pay Apple billions of dollars every year in exchange for Apple not developing EV.
Robots can already vacuum and mop floors pretty decently for <$2k.

No one is building a robot to dust your antique china collection anytime soon.
> Everyone that doesn't enjoy cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, mowing the lawn, or taking out the trash would LOVE a home robot that really works.

We are far, far away from any of the remaining tedious parts of those things being done competently by a robot.

- Dishes: dishwashers already do the majority of the labor intensive part.

- Laundry: the washer already does the labor intensive part.

- Mowing: if you don't trust robot cars, you shouldn't trust a moving robot with blades attached.

- Taking out the trash: I don't see buying a multi-thousand dollar robot to save me the 20 seconds it takes to walk the garbage out.

Even robot vacuums are kinda terrible.
Rails-to-trail trails are, in my limited experience (mostly in the DC-MD-northern Va region), boringly flat. I suppose out in the Rockies and Cascades they are more un-flat, although if it was originally a railroad line it's still likely to be a pretty steady climb or descent. I guess it's fortunate that not everyone agrees with me :).
I pay for Kagi and I honestly feel that I get more than my money's worth out of it. YMMV, of course. Maybe it isn't worth it to you.

But for me, Kagi opened up the web again. I can finally find what I'm looking for. I can make sure that my results never include BS websites. I even got serendipity back in my searches.

In a sense, the $10/mo I pay is really for access to the web itself. Without Kagi, most of parts of the web I was interested in were almost entirely unfindable.

But... you don't have to pay for it. You do need an account, but Kagi has a free tier.

Paging is not transparent in high-scale and high-performance databases when using direct I/O to disk. It is not possible to make it transparent on many larger servers even if you wanted to because the silicon does not support a large enough virtual address space. This is a pretty common design problem in databases, or anything with huge amounts of data and storage really.

There were magic incantations that compilers informally respected to induce the correct behavior but it wasn’t always reliable and technically not a bug when it wasn’t. This provides an official and simple way to achieve the same effect without obscure magic.
