It can't. This user seems to be confused about what lockdown mode is.
I feel like most of Google's shareholders today are investing because of AI, and so they're under immense pressure to put AI in every sentence.

Many shareholders aren't even that sophisticated. They come from mining, property, factories, farms, logistics. They see AI and a brand name, they buy.

These companies are also terrible to work in - what the shareholders want and the CEO they pick often don't align to the reality on the ground. A good CEO will bullshit shareholders just enough to keep the people on the ground working. What you see on the outside is likely not targeted at people like us.

With OVH the issue is more about prolonged multi-day downtimes; this is unsuitable for most production applications. I had given OVH a fair chance.

I used to work in one of the participating ISPs. The organization of Utopia was a PITA, but the idea was really good and generally well implemented, with some portable exceptions. My biggest issue is that they take huge subsidizations from the state to deliver internet, then turn that around and outbid competitors for state circuits using the subsidized rate. Not really saving them any money, but it looks good on a quote.
It's a common journalist tactic that allows for painting a misleading picture. E.g., I read a story earlier today about "State X among the worst states for Y". The state could be #2 out of 50, and they'd be "among the worst 49". The state could be #49 out of 50, and they'd be "among the worst 2".

Same thing here. Three of the oldest stars? It means literally nothing but it paints a picture.
You should have a much harder time believing a Pi 5 draws 25w in this comparison. 6w from a small form factor N4000 Intel system is perfectly achievable.
Can you design in it such a way that it only downloads the model if the user specifically enables that feature? Add a note along the lines of "A one time additional download is required to enable this feature" or some such, and I think it would allow you to expand the features if you wanted while keeping the initial download smaller. I might be weird in thinking this would be acceptable. Also, would be appreciated that I didn't download something I was never using.
Counterpoint: LLMs are very suitable for brainstorming if prompted appropriately

LLMs are going to give you the consensus reality (average opinion? average facts?) but you can easily steer it into offbeat, controversial and esoteric areas of it's training with the right prompts
There's nothing to disagree with. I wasn't being subjective. It wasn't an argument. I am just telling you what it is as a channel.
It works on local files yes
Cecil’s answer isn’t quite right. “ectomy” is indeed “cut it out” but the first definition he gives for “ostomy” (“cut a hole in something”) is the proper definition for “otomy”. The second “ostomy” definition is correct: creating a stoma (mouth). It’s all Greek, for real.
Me: “I’d like to start a business harvesting cat shit to fight global warming. People would pay me to take their cat shit and bury it because maybe it has carbon in it or something IDK I’m not a scientist. I would give them carbon credits in the form of a cat-shit-sequestration crypto token my business created. I’d pick up the cat shit by bicycle to save carbon emissions. Please help me develop a business plan.”

Chargpt: “that’s a great idea for a business! Here are some suggestions…”

Not a real exchange, but god, it does feel that way sometimes. One reason you can’t trust the damn thing is it’s too positive.
Just got gigabit in Knoxville for $65. Which is actually a tough sell since AT&T already offers 300 megabit for $55 and I’m not sure what I’d do with a faster connection.

But $65 from AT&T would only get me 500 megabit, so for people who do want faster speeds the KUB option is looking good.
I see articles about common (mis)management practices come up on HN semi-regularly, and I have to wonder if I've had uncommonly good experiences or if we only hear from the people who've had uncommonly bad experiences.

In my current and previous roles (both working under the CTO, coincidentally), 1:1s were quick little meetings at mutually-convenient times. We got through any uncertainty in my short-term plans, sometimes did a little brainstorming about longer-term work, then got back to it. If a day didn't work for either of us, we'd push till another day or the next week, no pressure. Seems like a simple and helpful use of 10-15 minutes per week.
Very interesting to see this here!

I've been having a lot of conversations recently with people about LLMs and how a prototypal inheritance-like approach to working with them seems to be surprisingly effective. Especially for writing code.

Also, this quote jumped out at me: "Insights from the dynamic world can have application in the static."
They can't care. If they did, they'd lose membership in every group that they're a part of. It would literally cost them everything. Even if they were affected personally, they won't give up this ideology because without it, their entire worldview crumbles.

> What’s worse is when we ask topics that don’t have consensus currently, the LLMs won’t behave in a more creative and independent way (as we hoped), but more susceptible to issues like hallucination.

I mean, what is the difference between creativity and hallucination (honest question)?

---

Maybe this means AI would be better at the opposite - after you brainstorm creative out there ideas, AI can tell you if they have been tried in the past and what the consensus view is on why they failed, allowing you to adjust course.
In my org, I customize meetings based on the specific report, their function, and their needs. With some reports, I meet with weekly, others biweekly, some monthly, some as needed. We adjust as needed based on turbulence, new projects, approaching deadlines, etc. It’s a very effective model.

> and have unbounded error when extrapolating outside their training examples

I would say, try reading a conspiracy theory forum - or simply wait for one to get posted on HN, and then revisit this particular conclusion.

I don't think this is a unique failure of LLMs, except insofar as LLMs have less of a physical grounding in reality then humans do: but we have people out there who have convinced themselves they can project forcefields, and take that all the way through to getting punched in the face by a martial artist when it turns out that, no, they can't.

Unless I'm missing something, that just seems like standard non-alcoholic drinks. Which miss the key flavour ingredient I'm talking about - the alcohol! The way it tingles your mouth, the warmth as it goes down, it completely changes the taste profile. Chemistry is not my strong suit so I have no idea if there's any substitutes that could be used to mimic this but without the health effects (good/bad), but until then, nothing nonalcoholic will taste anything like a spirit.

>The manufacturer’s similar chips max out at 64K

Perhaps these should be considered. 64KB is a world better than the 2K in the selected variant (CH32V003) in that micro-controller family.
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, this is happening a lot right now, and it’s a real risk when contributing or using an open source project.

I also had the same thought to create some sort of risk metric that could be applied to projects, but I do think your initial metric is lacking some criteria. Foundations like the CNCF and ASF have to be among the lowest risk, and CLAs can be more or less harmful depending on their specific content. I think a big red flag has to be if they’ve taken any VC or PE funding.

However I think the principle of taking this risk more seriously is good and important.
It depends on the previous experience of said developers, and such expectation varies widely.
It's also the only way of getting direct takes from ICs. Can it turn into a vent session, yes. But it also can surface small issues early on and allow you to prevent things from becoming problems.

This is super important for when you manage multiple people who have to collaborate together very regularly, less so when your reports are managing teams with clear missions and defined interfaces with more internal projects.
You live here - you know that that the NIMBYs would never allow that. It took 20 years to run a power line to electrify Caltrain.
We do have one small language, the Kven language(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kven_language), which is a sort of "Finnish structure, but with lots of borrowed Norwegian words. But for all intents and purposes, it very much sounds like Finnish.

It basically sounds like the language a Finnish person that has lived their whole life in Norway, and then starts to mix words because they forgot the Finnish words.

But that's about it. I know there are some other dialects, too, but these are all very small-scale languages that are either extinct, or will be extinct in some decades.

Much easier for Finns to learn Swedish, that for Swedes to learn Finnish, IMO. I speak Norwegian and Finnish (lived in Finland when I was young)

There are 5 main water problems that affect California and the Southwest:

1. Increasing freshwater production along the coast.

2. Increasing freshwater distribution to Southwest regions.

3. Increasing stormwater drainage to prepare for more intense storms. This includes identifying and remediating areas of so-called "100 year" flood plains that put lives and property at risk.

4. Increasing freshwater storage capacity to prepare for longer droughts and lower rainfall.

It's this thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaobject and how objects work in JavaScript. JS is not class-oriented, unlike Java.

This so called inheritance is best understood as linked-lists which "help track the method that acts upon this object". So this' not the OOP in Python (where you have C3 inheritance), nor the one in C++ where you have DFS inheritance, and does not even "support" multiple inheritance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_inheritance). I want to say is not inheritance, but... well it was billed as one, so you can think of it as one. But is in fact a peculiar way of doing method resolution.
I mean, I guess if you want longterm backward compatibility, you should run Linux, which you can do on Apple hardware.

Apple deserves some blame for failing to maintain the drivers for legacy Intel hardware in modern macOS, which is what the OCLP software seeks to reimplement and restore, which is no small feat. The group maintaining the software deserves all the praise they get for doing what Apple doesn’t.

All that said, macOS on Apple hardware is the best native operating system experience today in my opinion. The trackpad alone remains the major differentiating factor, but the aluminum unibody construction is also a major plus. Running Linux on Apple hardware somehow makes the trackpad just as janky as running Windows on Apple hardware, and Windows trackpads are generally janky due to OEM hardware/drivers being garbage, so it seems that the issue is both hardware and driver related, as running macOS on non-Apple hardware also suffers from jankiness.

Windows and Android are not really suitable alternatives to Apple hardware. The build quality just isn’t the same, and there isn’t really anything like AppleCare or iCloud. Windows 11 is adding literal ads in the chrome. At least Android lets you sideload apps and ideally root your device. The EU is correctly rectifying that issue in iOS and iPadOS, but Apple is dragging their feet via malicious compliance and willful misinterpretation of DMA requirements.

Two thousand euros over a 10 year period is not really a bad price to pay for a device you use probably every day. That cheaper alternatives exist isn’t really the point, as the quality of alternatives isn’t at all comparable. I say this as someone who has professionally used, repaired, maintained, deployed, and trained people to use Windows, Macs, iOS/iPadOS, and Android for over 10 years. I use what suits the use case, budget, and preferences of individuals and groups to meet their needs, goals, and expectations.
Correct. I don't know about DataScript's intention, but it is intentional for Datalevin, as we have tests for sequential intra-transaction semantics.
This came up at lot at google when they launched fiber. CA regulation and environmental laws make it to easy for the monopolies to stop or slow you down.

Remix has one of the best stars/issue ratios I've ever seen in a large project. They have 27k stars for 228 issues (118 stars/issue). Meanwhile next.js has 121k stars for 2678 issues (45 stars/issue).

Remix also has a robust future flag system to ensure nothing breaks during transitions. https://github.com/remix-run/remix/issues/4598

For larger changes (like the controversial flat routes), they even maintain the old feature so you don't have to upgrade. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@remix-run/v1-route-convention

That’s a goddamned stretch if ever there was one. SoCal is more or less a recognizable region in California, and does indeed have almost 24M people, but nobody sane would call it a megalopolis without some weird agenda I can’t quite figure out.

Los Angeles is a city of about 3.9M. LA County is well, apparently experiencing some population decline because last I checked this was a little over 11M, but apparently as of 2023 is around 9.6M. If you count all the urban areas that touch, are surrounded by or very very close by without driving out into the bloody desert, “greater” LA, 18.4M is probably a reasonably close figure. Some of what’s on Wikipedia’s map is a stretch though. The further East you go, the more rural California gets until you’re either in Clark County or Arizona.

San Diego though is by no means part of that. It’s a large city in its own right and going downtown to downtown, you’re talking at least between 2 and 2.5 hours driving. You can also just fly, on a regular commercial airline.
I'm no climate scientist, but at first blush the idea that warming from CO2 concentration levels off to insignificance at some level appreciably close to where we are doesn't pass the smell test, because of Venus. If CO2 concentration levelled off to insignificance at some point we could foreseeably reach in our children's children's children's lifetime, then I don't see how Venus can be at ~450°C from CO2 concentration. Clearly there's a huge amount of warming left to go from CO2 release.

Seriously, it's the same argument that people give for "ChatGPT can't give me good code, I don't know why", just rephrased. The deluge of "GPT is not useful for X" articles meant to bait the average critic, despite it being used en masse for "subproblems in X-space" already...

They're asking the wrong type of work from it. If you need some boilerplate or a transformation, it's going to give you a fantastic template to work with. If you need it, on the other hand, to engineer out a highly-specific and nuanced solution with an esoteric codebase to a complex problem, maybe not so much. The former is wide, the latter is narrow. It's going to take maybe a bit more breakdown of the scope into proper subproblems before you'll get a good answer; and that's something you can do yourself, or have an agent perform across multiple queries maybe (though I'll admit, more work needs to be done for the whole multi-agent workflows to be truly useful).
He seems to have some sort of aggressive blindness to "why" these places aren't like the Netherlands. It helps sell the point and get people outraged. There are great points made but just reaches a level of absurdity by the end of the videos.
"Overwrite" on flash requires erasing the block containing the data you wish to overwrite, so pre-erasing blocks that will never be used again until rewritten doesn't reduce available write cycles, and can improve both endurance and performance.

Two potential issues when relying on flash erasure for privacy, neither of which apply to a full device wipe:

1. Filesystem allocation units are almost always smaller than flash erase blocks; erasing and rewriting, e.g., a 1MB flash block whenever a single 4 kB allocation unit it contains is freed will lead to performance and endurance problems.

2. On desktop and laptop systems, erase (ATA TRIM/SCSI UNMAP/NVMe Deallocate) operations are typically deferred to a low-priority or periodic background task for performance reasons; the same may apply to iOS devices.

In the case of full device wipes on modern Apple devices (iOS and Apple Silicon Mac), this is mostly moot anyway from a privacy perspective, because encrypted storage makes data effectively unreadable as soon as encryption keys are wiped.
Mine's (IC currently) fortnightly, and it always feels extremely structured/forced. We're fully remote too, which IMO makes it even more critical for these things to hit their mark because you can't smooth things over with the typical office contact/banter.
It sounds like a nice feature but in my experience such "auto-magic", always-on features can burn battery life. It's not necessarily much for each single feature but there are so many of them these days, they add up quickly.

The other downside is false positives or other occasional failure modes. Many such "auto-magic" features choose not to expose any granularity to the user, perhaps because they think it'll make it less "magic" or that a few entirely optional scaling settings in an "advanced" tab will hopelessly confuse users. Too often such "all or nothing" reliance on the infallibility of their magic 'do-the-right-thing' code forces me to entirely turn off what would otherwise have been a useful feature.
