> But it's the fun of alcohol!

For a while it is. But sometimes you don’t want to keep being drunk.

Maybe you want to drive home, or your childcare ends, or you just have other things to do that day.

If I could just end the whole thing at will, including the hangovers you mention, that would be ideal.
Oh look another half baked product release that's not available in any country. They're a joke.
For anyone like me who are about to start trying to figure out what Muddy is, it seems to be this thing:

- Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40309342

- homepage: https://www.feelmuddy.com/
Or a previous-gen iPad, which will be less deprecated than the cheap Android phone.
The Donald Glover segment might be a new low for Google announcement videos. They spent all this time talking up the product but didn't actually show what he had created.

Imagine how bad the model must be if this is the best way Google can think of selling it.
Their normal "customer" is an annoyed, impatient Doordash driver. I glanced at their delivery kitchen and it had 3x the staff of the front. I wouldn't be surprised if their front of house was really the back of house employees who don't want to be talking to in-person customers.

Read it again. The limits it discusses are on hydro generation, not hydro storage.

> "Approaching". A Tesla Megapack is more than 3x that.

If your argument depends on selecting expensive rather than cheap versions of a technology, I'll do the same with nuclear. Let's use the most disastrous expensive nuclear efforts as representative, shall we?

Or, we could just acknowledge that once a lower price point has been demonstrated for storage, the market will move in that direction. Storage, unlike nuclear, doesn't experience out of the blue cost escalation, and many forms are easily shipped worldwide.

> Of course, this is very little battery, because that particular Fraunhofer study did most of the backup using gas. With 150 GW of gas fired plants.

> That's more than double the current total demand.

The gas generators would not run in baseload mode; they'd be for seasonal and Dunkelflaute coverage. Most energy from the renewables would go either directly to the grid or through batteries and then to the grid. The fraction into gas would be modest.

BTW, simple cycle gas turbine + generator is about 1/20th the capital cost of a nuclear plant per unit power (combined cycle, 1/10th). So 150 GW is not nearly as much as you might imagine.
And those clips mostly look like generic stock footage, not something specific that a director might want to pre-vis.

In kernels, it's usually hard to get general-purpose allocation working reliably in all contexts. And you need that for resizable vectors. With lists, you just need to be able to grab an element-sized block. Quite often, it's even done with the memory page granularity.

In addition, a lot of data structures might be shared across multiple cores. Linked lists can be traversed and mutated concurrently (although with a bit of care).
Which is a shame because MLU was a legit training program
That's a very problematic argument though. My the same logic you could say "people shouldn't have free speech because they might say something mean.
> I'm not sure how much lock in there really is.

All the big tech companies are guilty of illegally suppressing competition in various ways, including locking customers into their platforms through various means.

But Apple? Nobody goes as hard as Apple does with their lock-in strategies. I personally like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so I'm not going to assume you're just being ignorant because you love Apple. Instead, I'm curious to know what makes you doubt that lock-in isn't their entire business model?

For example, in what universe would iCloud (as it exists today) succeed if customers could actually choose an alternate cloud storage provider for their iPhone/iPad with the same level of system integration?
I already addressed the IQ thing, so to be frank I don't care anymore. I have nothing new to add.

I only responded because I don't like the implication in your last response that age discminiation is legal and companies are not in fact routinely sued over incompotent postings. In the company's fairness, they don't have perfect oversight of every manager and every posting. But they pay the price.

That is a pretty black and white area, and I mentioned the few grays already. It still happens. If you were just talking past me to double down on the IQ thing, then my apologies.
Yeah that wasn't obvious what they were trying to show. Demis said feature films will be released in a while
I think the issue primarily is that there are two frames of reference used: "earlier" / "later" terms use the absolute frame of reference (time progressing forward), the numerical terms ("100s" / "4th century") are relative to the common era (higher BCE numbers mean further back in time).

To me it is confusing that they've mixed the two, even though it is convention to do so.

The company is still unprofitable so perhaps the thing you enjoyed cannot be had at a price consumers are willing to pay.
Yeah. Back in the 90s, "terascale" was the same kind of milestone buzzword that was being thrown around all the time.

Because of that, I felt a bit of nostalgia when I first saw consumer-accessible GPUs hitting the 1 TFLOP performance level, which now I suppose qualifies as a cheap iGPU.
Apparently Apple and Intel do, since they introduced those changes into their silicon
I suppose the maximum profitability could still be negative
WSL2 seems to virtualize the GPU pretty well, I had an easier time getting my GPU to work for machine learning inside WSL2 than I have with plain Windows and Linux in the past.
Fortunately the open-source VM space is the best it has ever been these days. No reason at all to use proprietary crap anymore.

The videos in this demo are pretty neat. If this had been announced just four months ago we'd all be very impressed by the capabilities.

The problem is that these video clips are very unimpressive compared to the Sora demonstration which came out three months ago. If this demo was announced by some scrappy startup it would be worth taking note. Coming from Google, the inventor of the Transformer and owner of the largest collection of videos in the world, these sample videos are underwhelming.

Having said that, Sora isn't publicly available yet, and maybe Veo will have more to offer than what we see in those short clips when it gets a full release.
They didn't show any human videos, which could indicate that the technology struggles with generating them.
Should be titled "Sweetgreen's latest earnings report" since that is all there is in the article, just in too many words.

Teams is utter crap. People only use it because their IT departments tell them they have to. It’s like anti-virus and about as useful.
I don't understand how it costs $4.35 in hourly labor to make a salad. I know you've got prep cooks, servers/cashiers, dishwashers, and managers. I assume some of these roles overlap in practice. If everyone makes $18 an hour on average, and there's five people on the clock, that's $90 an hour in labor. So, if they average 7 x $15 salads an hour, which seems rather low, shouldn't that cover labor costs at the franchise? This is oversimplified and makes many assumptions, that's obvious. I'm wondering what the missing piece is.
This is kind of a weak article, isn't it? For one thing: it's not the economics of a salad, but rather the economics of a rapidly expanding brick-and-mortar business. But mostly, it's like just a couple paragraphs, ending with (pp) "maybe steak salads will be a game changer".
It is "the other social network" where our colleagues from certain other countries can share their inspirational quotes, certifications, work anniversaries etc without messing up Teams, Slack or Workplace for the rest of us.

That's my understanding at least.

(Yes, we use all of these at work.)
To quote Twitter/X, "I wonder what OpenAI will release tomorrow and Google will release a waitlist for."

GPT-4o: out

Veo: waitlist

Admittedly this is impressive and the direct comp would be Sora, which isn't out, but sometimes the caricature is very close to the truth.
For everything? Obviously no.

But for all the crazy optimizations modern compiler do, I don't see how marking pointers for more then couple of them in a raw is that crazy
Do any of the commercial hypervisors do that today?
It's owned and operated by Google.
Nobody does. We all moved to other hypervisors now.
Part of me wishes that you could use good 'ol HPGL with these modern plotters, just for the fun of using vintage software. Plot the Joy Division hidden-line 3D graph, or the classic Shuttle AutoCAD example.
Until the apps you depend on force you into an os you can't upgrade into. Its crazy like there are still security updates and devs will pull the plug, and twist the knife cutting off api access for their old software.
Low level employees have no reason to be appreciative of the customers. Don’t take it personally.

If you want them to be appreciative of customers, you need to give them an incentive structure that makes them treat customers as something other than a hurdle to overcome.

And just saying “if there were no customers, you wouldn’t have a business to work at” will only works if you give them enough individual autonomy that their actions actually affect the business. And that just isn’t going to happen for low level jobs.
Then again Veo is in the same category as Sora, which isn't released either, 3 months after the reveal.

Sonos App Redesign AMA
Sonos recently allowed a major app redesign to escape into mobile app stores before it was functionally complete, replacing a perhaps dated but definitely functional app that many people depended on.

They're now hosting an "AMA" on their product forums and it's going about as well as one might expect.
I’ve noticed that a lot of the commentary of these models creates the sort of fervor like politics or sports.

In any case - no details on compute needed. Curious if this ever can be cheap. Even Midjourney still requires a lot.

I’m also surprised there hasn’t been some attempt at creating benchmarks for this. One example could be color accuracy.

Do we know that it was a lapse in judgement? I'm thinking that's outcome bias. It's speculated that it was the cause of death, but we don't know that. If it was a known risky behaviour, you'd have thought it would have been identified by doctors (it was well known that he swam in the river a lot) and at least these days it's not considered risky behaviour. Either way, a lapse in judgement would imply that the risks outweighed the rewards (and the value of the rewards tends to be personal/contextual).
"This tool isn’t available in your country yet"
As things stand the iPad is less a personal computer and more an app slate. It's a device designed to project other people's computing experiences onto a screen. The essence of personal computing is that personal part; building your workflows and experience to suit your preferences and needs. That's what this blog post is asking for, at least in part. The rest of the asks are in the vein of "make this not broken please".

E: I'm not saying that people are wrong to like it as an app slate. Maybe that's what most people want. I just want to distinguish it from a personal computer, which is a tool that lets users write and run applications of their choosing.

SBCL cheats and copies starting from the first cons cell that is referenced from outside the list; this tends to be the start of the list, and so traversing just works. The contiguous copying also ends when a cons cell which was already copied is found, so there can't be more discontinuities than there are cons cells referenced from outside the list, regardless of which order we discover the references.

Sure. I also live in a place where you can't leave your belongings unattended even for a short time without a high risk of them getting stolen. But there's a simple solution to that: don't leave your belongings unattended, ever. Everyone I know who lives where I live knows that, and the incidence -- at least among my friends -- losing things to theft is super low.

I don't think this is a good situation, mind you, but I think people in my circle still misplace things orders of magnitude more often than their stuff gets stolen.
A better analogy is self defense. In the same way that it's not wrong to use violence against someone who is using violence against you, it's not wrong for people to band together to protect themselves against people exerting power over them.

Microdosing psilocybin (shrooms) is amazing at letting me go out and just have 1-2 beers while still giving the slight affect of a nice anxiety-free buzz. I'm what I'd call a nervous drinker. I'm ADHD and sitting still can be rough for me, so at bars I tend to drink a lot very fast because the only fidgeting I can do without looking strange is .. cup to face over and over.

Obviously not something everyone wants to do or can do, it's legal for me, but it's great for basically taking my interest in alcohol away after a beer or two. Microdosing is usually 1/10th or less what a "normal" light dose would be (going with 1-2g dose here, so 0.1/0.2). No weird/visual/hallucination effects or anything like that.

You just feel a bit lighter and relaxed. Been a big game changer for me since I go out all the time. A bunch of my service industry friends and I do it and they've all started drinking significantly less.

Naltrexone is great too but it's probably easier to get someone to microdose than ask their doctor for that which is unfortunate. You won't get a buzz with that, you'll just get bored of drinking by your 2nd beer and move on to doing other things which can also be nice at times.
Why would that matter? Certainly, important to know the why, but more important is the outcome. "Who are you selling to?" and "Who has the spend/budget?" are most important. Tragic, for sure.
Side effects like IO are very difficult to handle in a pure language. I believe Simon Peyton Jones' argument was that, if it's strict, there is too much of a temptation to say, "screw it", and abandon purity.

>a national standard that the mentally ill could only be involuntarily treated if they represented an immediate threat to themselves or others.

This has been so important for individual and civil rights. Before it many people we would today say are fine and healthy were imprisoned in psychiatric hospitals for long durations against their will. The reasons were extremely varied and "false positives" both accidental and intentional ruined lives. It was simply incompatible with the USA's legal system and basis of government.

We're in a much better place now on balance but housing of the mentally ill could and should be better. That said, any replacement system for housing has to also be voluntary. Removal of the "immediate threat to themselves or others" clause will rapidly lead to abuses doing much worse damage to individuals and society than having some crazy people walking about.
Should I take it when I'm ready to sober up or before drinking as well if I want to make sure I don't get too drunk but still have a good buzz?

To expand on what others have said: If the spec isn't the size of the software, then it leaves out details. But "everybody knows what we mean" - until they try to implement it. Then they find out part of what wasn't specified.

"Part of", because there's the other part, which wasn't specified, and they just assumed there was only one possible answer, and so they didn't even realize that there was a gap in the spec there. But there is, and if someone, somewhere, makes the opposite assumption, the gap matters.
