> marginal decrease in resource intensity

We're seeing more than simply marginal decreases - if we can successfully transition our power. The gap in per capita CO2 emissions between developing, middle-income, developed is not nearly as great as what you are suggesting [0] and will decrease even further in the time that it takes to raise people in poverty now to developed-world standards.

> I never understand the insistence of some of ignoring population in the equation, which is the key parameter.

A few reasons:
1. Population is projected to peak in the coming decades.
2. "Slashing" population counts requires a global deployment of force that is both not practically feasible right now and incredibly unpopular. There is no practical path to "slashing" population. This is the primary reason, imo.
3. People in the West always imagine that it would be other people/nations slashing their population count when the biggest marginal impact (especially given climate lags) would be slashing their own population. These solutions are eugenicist in nature.

Also - taking a step back for a moment, I am confused as to how this in any way justifies beef. Beef contributes to the gap between rich and poor in CO2. If we reduce reliance on beef, it means we can support a larger population sustainably?

In the eighties, I worked on host development tools used for the Flight Management Computer System firmware in the 737-300. Presumably, the hardware, the software, the tools, the language (Ratfor), the host OS (VAX/VMS), the development process, and my life have all been upgraded since then.

On the other hand, the overall project verification team was as big as the development team. I never saw that again the rest of my career.
You don’t achieve exactly once at the protocol/queue level, but at the service/consumer level. This is why SQS guarantees at-least-once.

It’s generally what you described, but the term I’ve seen is “nonce” which is essentially an ID on the message that’s unique, and you can check against an in-memory data store or similar to see if you’ve already processed the message, and simply return / stop processing the message/job if so.
The clock of machines is not reliable enough anyways most of the time. You end up having to reset them anyways.

Her condition is a genetic disorder, which is a kind of disease. The deaf 'community' consists of many kinds of deafness, some are not diseases, others are. Some of those diseases cannot be cured, others are trivial to cure.

In the same way there are many different kinds of cough, some due to diseases, others not, some curable, others not, yet no one pretends it's offensive to talk about curing a cough. This weird excessive sensitivity to language accomplishes nothing.
This. And honestly, I feel satisfied after a single orange's worth of OJ from my juice press, which is about half a standard cup. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes less. But it's all I need, and it tastes absolutely delicious.

I grew up drinking OJ from concentrate, and when I was a kid I didn't like the natural stuff. Now it's all I'll ever drink, fuck buying premade juice from the store.

Fresh juice is so good. Yes, it's a bit pricier (I pay $1.99/pound for organic valencias at Whole Foods), and yes, it is more time consuming (gotta assemble the machine, juice, clean the machine, take it apart) but the taste and nutritional difference is astounding.

I did something related for my ChillTranslator project for translating spicy HN comments to calm variations which has a GGUF model that runs easily and quickly but it's early days. I did it with a much smaller set of data, using LLM's to make calm variations and an algo to pick the closest least spicy one to make the synthetic training data then used Phi 2. I used Detoxify then OpenAI's sentiment analysis is free, I use that to verify Detoxify has correctly identified spicy comments then generate a calm pair. I do worry that HN could implode / degrade if there is not able to be a good balance for the comments and posts that people come here for. Maybe I can use your sentiment data to mine faster and generate more pairs. I've only done an initial end-to-end test so far (which works!). The model, so far is not as high quality as I'd like but I've not used Phi 3 on it yet and I've only used a very small fine-tune dataset so far.
File is here though: https://huggingface.co/lukestanley/ChillTranslator
I've had no feedback from anyone on it though I did have a 404 in my Show HN post!

Just as an aside and probably a dumb question - is Pirate Bay still a thing? I know they have archival stuff you can access, but I thought Pirate Bay died out a long time ago and even pier to pier networks have all but disappeared with streaming.

I feel like this is kind of a naïve question, but I haven't needed to use pier to pier stuff since streaming did become the standard and remember a lot of articles on Pirate Bay shutting down around 2014. Some of the 1070's movies I've found on YouTube that aren't on any streaming platform like the 1982 movie Dreams Don't Die about a graffiti artist played by Ike Eisenmann.

Said audience member here. "The Kubernetes project" includes a bit more than just https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes, but yes that's accurate.

Here's our GCP spend for the past month: https://imgur.com/a/VVJTSKx. Note that does not include a separate AWS cluster that we are migrating jobs too.

A large chunk of this comes from the nature of distributed tests. We need to reproduce the environment, spin up compute, etc. We do have a large problem with flaky tests on the project as well. Whether that's timeouts, memory/cpu consumption creep over time, loads of other things. We talk about how one day we'd like to get to the granulairty of being able to go to a SIG and say, "this flaky test of yours is costing the project $x in retries. Please dedicate some resources to fix it".

How we distribute the artifacts is a whole different conversation. The container world is unique in that voluntary mirrors are not as possible as with linux packages and other binaries.

If this space interests you please join us at either [SIG K8s Infra](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-k8s-...) or [SIG Testing](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-test...)!
I saw a "conspiracy theory" that the only reason we saw quality of life improve in the west after ww2 and until a bit after the fall of the iron curtain is that western oligarchs feared the population would turn east and there would be red revolutions everywhere otherwise. The only way to beat the USSR was to improve quality of life in the west. Now that this threat is gone, there's no reason to keep a foot on the brake of welfare-capitalism. The population pays for the cockups (quantitative easing), while the shareholders take all the profits. This is the source of the growing economic inequality.

But the display panel itself still receives an unencrypted LVDS signal, which should not be too hard to decode. There are (were?) also cheap HDMI splitters that conveniently strip HDCP.

Your only issue is that yes, you can't get at the original compressed video stream and have to reencode, possibly losing a tiny bit of quality.

Ask HN: GitHub Copilot competitors and AI Coding Assistant round-up
Do you have experience using an AI Assistant for code creation? What has your experience been? I've been rolling Copilot out to our developers at a large organization, we currently have 6,000 of our 13,000 developers using it. I'm looking for others to research.

Our findings with Copilot:

* Folks who try it, overwhelmingly like it.
Some curmudgeons refuse to use it

* It sucks for very old codebases that have diverged from public standards/topics

* People who show potential as managers, have a much easier time onboarding.
I totally agree, but let's say Jane writes the code, Frank reviews the code and checks it in. You're trusting both of them. Trust can't be eliminated.

For context, I've known that McDonald's uses rain forest beef since the mid-1980s when my dad first told me about it. I thought they stopped that for a while, but nope:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-30/mcdonald-...

Nothing has been done to stop it because of a number of cultural problems: 1) Americans love beef: "why would I eat what food eats?" 2) America could stop all conflict around the world, from deforestation to war to civil rights abuses, if that wasn't directly at odds with the appetites of our capitalist empire and 3) scarcity mindset for survival has so dominated the Global South for so long that nature is seen as a resource to be exploited, far below even the dignity of human life, due to unrelenting debt pressure from the IMF to create a wage slave class for harvesting cash crops and labor/resource-intensive commodities like beef.
It is reproducible with the dataset though. (Or more accurately may be reproducible). It is important to distinguish between "reproducibility" meaning "the extent to which consistent results are obtained when an experiment is repeated" and "the ability to be reproduced or copied." Only the former is necessary for an experiment to be considered reproducible. It's just that it may be difficult to actually run the experiment although certainly not impossible, at least if we consider using a similar alternative dataset as its really the coed being tested here. But in any event I think it qualifies as publishing research all the same. Also note that research is still research even if it not published.
which is a shame because I think elixir is probably one of the easiest functional programming languages to learn. most of the libraries use do blocks so you dont' usually think about lambdas unless you're using Enum or List modules and even then, its about as complicated as using reduce or map in javascript. if you know how to use a higher order function, tail recursion and map/reduce/filter, you know enough functional programming to do 99% of day to day elixir work.

This isn't research, this is simplistic populist fear-mongering.

It's a bit like saying "the economic research does not want to go into the details of the different economic benefits and drawbacks of immigration, instead it's easier to frame it as the smart educated whites versus the hordes of dirty foreigners coming into the country" and expecting this argument to be taken seriously.

There’s a good opportunity for those other use cases as many of them are centrally located and so with investment that could be in the form of government subsidies (if they could every agree on anything) to upgrade factories and utilities, etc. And at 85% utilization, you’re correct that it’s a big opportunity.
The models tested seem to work as expected as it’s not a retrieval model being used here. The weights are lowest on wormsnake but much higher on worm and snake. The temperature of the model for something like stable diffusion has to be higher than something doing a retrieval, so we would not expect it to reproduce the exact worm snake image from its training data.
People working in their spare time make better apps than these. I don't think you need great developers, just ones that follow specs and use native development tools would probably do.

Java doesn't have pattern-matching yet. Haskell is not an imperative language.
Soy protein isolate is most definitely something that can be home made. Assuming you have a high rev centrifuge.

Otherwise you end up with soy protein that is not an isolate. Similar to purified soy flour which is already a highly processed food, and soymilk.
It will still be vastly purer nutritionally than either tofu or soy.

It's the same as the difference between whey protein (from milk) and whey protein isolate of various grades. Not that huge in the grand scheme of things, except for taste and amount of sugars left in it.

That 15% is in the USA, a country that has largely shipped it's manufacturing overseas.

Globally it's estimated to be a smaller percentage overall, although it does seem that it still is closer to 10% according to this: https://www.iea.org/energy-system/transport/cars-and-vans

So yes, maybe it's not "tiny".

My point still stands, I think. We are focusing much more than 10-15% of our overall efforts on optimizing a slice that doesn't seem like it will contribute improvements relative to our efforts

Until the 3.13 release, here's a trick on pasting: the paste function from https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201904/startuppy.html will accept pasted input and then evaluate it as code (after EOF is sent via Ctrl+D on Linux/Mac or Ctrl+Z Enter on Windows).

Adding that function to a $PYTHONSTARTUP file will make it available automatically every time you launch the REPL.

It's definitely a hack, but it's a pretty decent workaround for now. I'll likely continue to use it even after the new REPL launches because the textwrap.dedent call will auto-unindent indented code (when pasting from a markdown or reStructuredText file for example).

Yeah, I've written a few of these and should probably release a package at some point but each version has been somewhat domain specific.

The last time we measured an immediate 99% performance improvement over SNS+SQS. It was so dramatic that we were able to reduce job resources simply due to the queue implementation change.

I assume they mean Python doesn't do so by default (nor in a lightweight fashion). You can certainly use all cores with any programming runtime if you just run multiple OS processes. Indeed, that's how you implement multi-core on Ruby and Node as well. Although even then, the cores themselves aren't necessarily being fully utilized, even if you're ostensibly using all cores.
That is true, but ripping content in that way is a much bigger burden on piracy groups since it has to be done in realtime, can't be done in parallel without multiple expensive hardware rigs, and metadata like subtitles can't be extracted automatically. Rips of streaming shows often have a dozen or so subtitle tracks and nobody is going to transcribe and re-time all that by hand if they can't decrypt the stream directly.
If you want to depend on curl|bash setups, sure. If you want to get security updates, good packaging is still required.
> Python doesn't vertically scale very well

Strong disagree, this is a skill issue. I have written C++ modules for Python with pybind11 to speed up some code significantly but ended up reverting to pure Python once I learned how to move memory efficiently in Python. Numpy is very good at what it does and if you really have some custom code that needs to go faster you can run it externally through something like pybind11. It is a skill issue mostly. If you are writing ultra low latency code then you're right. You can make Python really fast if you are hyper aware of how memory is managed; I recommend tracemalloc. For instance, instead of pickling numpy arrays to send them to child processes, you can use shared memory and mutexes to define a common buffer which can be represented as a numpy array and shared between parent and child processes. Massive performance win right there, and most people simply would have never realized Python is capable of such things.
I don't necessarily think it is the equivalent. Maybe it's more akin to a high-schooler reading a single book and then being asked to write several new books that hold equal weight in teaching the next generation of children.

These new text books could be great at simplifying the subject matter and making the material accessible or they may just never have fully understood the materials and are misleading.

Now imagine that over and over again, imo it's pretty likely to introduce inaccuracies if just taking a naiive approach.
Why would you continue when you found out?
Often embeddings are not so good for comparing similarity of text.
A cross-encoder might be a good alternative, perhaps as a second-pass, since you already have the embeddings.
https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_cross-encoders.html
Pairwise, this can be quite slow, but as a second pass, it might be much higher quality. Obviously this gets into LLM's territory, but the language models for this can be small and more reliable than cosine on embeddings.

It's not super surprising that LLMs perform well on standardized tests, given that they have a lot of standardized test related text in their training data. There are a lot of claims out there about the zero-shot ability of LLMs, and very little specific research to back it up. Until now that is.
