I'm just wondering where I could have the best life possible being a small business owner.

Tax depends on the state, Washington has no income tax. It's a tech hub as well and you can make much muuuuch more money over there than in the Netherlands.

I'm still really young so location is definitely something I can control.

I have no business yet and I'm at the beginning of my career.

I don't have a wife, but I'm planning to find one and have 2 kids.
Chain of thought is nothing more than limiting the probability space enough that the model can provide the most likely answer. It's too much damn work to be useful.
There's no official guideline (we try to keep that list minimal), but I think it's harmless and the main thing commenters should do is not complain about it. These complaints are always the same, always offtopic, and usually balloon in size to the point where the offtopicness drowns everything else. That's a terrible outcome for a thread like this.

Even if you dislike "I'm $X years old and I $Y" posts, it's not helpful to give a kid a grumpy patronizing response. We want HN to be a helpful community, not some weird age competition.
Support for Javascript modules looks like it is in-progress: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine/issues/4767

Developing offline with the engine-only (https://github.com/playcanvas/engine) is obviously an option, but I wouldn't hold your breath for an offline editor.
That's exactly the point they make in their first paragraph.

They then speculate about why others nonetheless presume themselves entitled to something beyond a license to see, edit, and use the code themselves; and spend the essay trying to explain why those people may find themselves frustrated by open source maintainers who haven't made any such commitment to them.

It's probably too aggressive an essay to land on the ears of those who need to hear it, but it's making exactly the case you do yourself.
Different ideas are of course important. But companies that take every idea seriously usually have as many ridiculous problems as there are ideas. So not every idea may be really good. Accepting this liberates a person.
Yep, you can get cheap plans like that through T-Mobile MVNOs or even their own prepaid plan. I'm generally near wifi all the time. A couple gigs of data a month is fine for me.
A core issue here, though, is that contracts add a wrinkle into the "automate everything" approach. Often, it is the clients themselves who resist adopting the automations proposed by the outsourcers.

It's why, when businesses say they want efficiency, I start with the Efficiency = Output / Cost equation and ask if they want to increase output, or decrease cost. Most companies buying outsourcing want to reduce cost, most outsourcing providers want to increase output.
This doesn't seem correct. Deaths per year are around 3.5M; deaths from flu vary between 5k and 50k.
Exactly. And those people are usually complaining about a repair bill somewhere around $2000. Sure, expensive, but relative to the new value of a top model 7-series it's not crazy.

It's no comparison to paying 13k for battery repair on an entry level Tesla, that was only 40k new.
That argument works for fingerprints because it’s possible to replicate them (kind of) but how do you replicate someone’s eyeballs assuming supervised setup ?
They are helpful because they are unclear.
There are cases where a bit of ambiguity is useful or you don't know exactly what to say.
Face to face this can be solved with expressions, gestures etc. But in text form it's more difficult and emojis can help a bit.
yeah, DOJ apologies
If you're referring to my app, Xecrets Ez ( https://www.axantum.com/ ), it runs in Windows, macOS and Linux.

As mentioned, the issue I'm trying to solve is not the code end. Resx works fine once it's there. It's the translator end. How to present the texts and translations and context etc to the human, often non-technical, translators and often many and one translator might only translate a few strings, then another one etc. So it has to be real easy to use and gain access to. Can't for example ask them to install a piece of software. Finally, once a text has been translated, how to get it back to the app as easy and preferably as automated as possible.
Mathematics is perhaps a subset of logic? I'm not very familiar with this space, but I think it's pretty cool that so much of math can be represented with very simple rules building up, especially with things like the Lean proof language.
How will you do unbound computation with only NAND gates? Either you need a clock (not a NAND gate) or you need to implement a clock using NAND gates, but that assumes physical aspects such as power propagation speed.

Typically you say that you can make arbitrary functions between any two closed domains using only NAND gates.
Emojis are nonverbal communication, much like any other. Just like it's best to be a little clinical or impersonal when meeting someone new (depending on context), it's best to be a bit reserved with emoji use. I use a very limited set in work chats, and a pretty wide set with my personal relationships. That's not a flaw of emojis, it's just how communication works.
It's incredible that we (humanity) are expending trillions of dollars and untold carbon emissions into these misinformation machines. I don't even mean machines for intentional generating misinformation (although they are that, too) but machines that we know misinform well-meaning users.

Peak humanity.
That's like claiming you know how to run a restaurant because you like to eat out. Or worse actually, since you're extrapolating your individual experience from a small set of educational systems to education as a whole.

If you're looking for insight into the problems faced in education, speak to educators. I really doubt they would tell you that the quality of individual instructors is their biggest problem.

Oh good grief.

I call bullshit.
it's not the foster care that is the problem. even if the foster parents are perfect, separating children from their parents against their will is causing severe trauma to the children and often hurting them more than what the parents might do to them.

i agree with your second paragraph. the focus needs to be on supporting parents to take better care of their children.
Keep in mind that the average replier here is an older developer whos skillset has come from the 2008-2018 generation (Rails, Django) and have rarely ventured elsewhere. Or when they have they blame the learning curve on the tool not themselves.

To me it seems like your very early on your journey and haven't ever learned a web framework or become proficient in at least one language.

So if I was to give you a blanket recommendation: Javascript or Typescript.

From there you can start on the frontend side and work your way to a backend (Nextjs is a good candidate here)

or do the reverse and go back to front and start with Express

The reason im recommending this is

- Youll have to learn javascript anyway

- It has tons and tons of support (libraries, tutorials, docs)

- You can also venture into mobile app development if thats interesting.

- Once you get the hang of it I believe its faster to spin up projects than rails or django

This is coming from someone who has worked professionally in *a lot* of stacks

- Ruby / Rails / Angular

- Python / Django / jQuery

- C# / .net / knockout.js

- Javascript / Express / React Native

- Elixir / Phoenix / React

- Hasura / Nextjs

- Go / Nextjs

- Java / Spring

- Haskell / Elm

Aside: if you want to know my favourite stack, BE It's Elixir / Phoenix by a large margin. FE im just more productive in React/Nextjs but Remix seems cool.
Only enough, the content is perfectly summarized by the final sentence:

How much does a battery pack cost to manufacture?
How much does it cost at retail?
Also there is the under armor which was damaged as well.

What else is required to remove and reinstall?

I could see a new pack costing about 10k retail, probably 7 mfg costs.

To remove and install a new one:

0: Lift car on Jacks.

1: Disconnect old pack connector at car.

2: Discharge old pack

3: Remove old under-armor panel

4: Remove old pack from car

5: Install new pack in car

6: Install new under-armor panel

7: Reconnect new pack to car

8: Run diagnostic tests

That looks like a 3 to 4 hour job minimum, with specialized equipment dealing with high voltage to me.

I think 13k is not a bad price at all.

Thank you! This has solved multiple problems I've had for years.
This happens way too frequently and is very traumatic for parents and the child. There was another prominent case in Boston where police and CPS (they call it DCF) showed up in the middle of the night, without a court order, based on their arbitrary judgment that it was an emergency, and stole the parents’ newborn away for them for months:
https://www.nbcboston.com/investigations/federal-lawsuit-mov...

The worst part is the defendants in the lawsuit (DCF) tried to claim qualified immunity for kidnapping children. Parental rights are a core part of the human experience and shouldn’t be violated in this way.
Previous poster was implying that such measures will spread with any "sufficiently deadly" virus, and that presumably COVID19 is not perceived as such at this time (rightly or wrongly).
I never had a clue what the upside-down smiley was interpreted as before I read this. There's a mystery solved!

Divorce left me struggling to find love. I found it in an AI partner
Thunderbolt cables are slightly different, but are USB-C cables that support Thunderbolt alternate mode. Thunderbolt 3 uses a higher speed, 40Gb/s, that require tighter tolerances and special cables. There are also Thunderbolt 3 cables that are out-of-spec for USB 3.1 Gen 2. I think can use Thunderbolt on USB3 cables at slower speed.

USB4 unified them, making 40Gb/s standard speed and adding faster speeds. It is still confusing cause USB4 doesn't have to support Thunderbolt 3. Also, USB4 tunnels USB, Displayport, and PCI Express so there is no Thunderbolt alternate mode.
Right, because we only have one single shipping company using all the roads...
I am impatient with formal verification of programmes.

Proving that a programme correctly implements a specification is interesting theoretically but of little practical use

Correct specification is as hard as correct programming, so the difficult problems are not solved, they are moved.

There are practical use cases for formal methods, but they are rare to encounter
I don't agree with their laws, but they are rather simple and comparatively effective, though ruthless and as you say disproportionate.
in Bayesian epistemology, the arguments to probability "functions" are beliefs.

To simplify my phrasing: to model any aspect of reality requires inventing a formalism; that formalism itself largely fails to correspond to reality. insofar as it does, the formalism is useless.

Bayesian epistemology pretends to greater insights than it has, because it assumes that the modelling relation is simple; whereas, really its where the whole part of epistemology lies.
I wish there was an equivalent of https://prepaidcompare.net/ for IoT.

I had to scour a bunch of different providers and often call/email for pricing to put together a list of options in a spreadsheet. I needed cellular service for iPads but they are only used a handful of times a year (normally <50MB each) and Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T all wanted something like $30/mo per iPad (every month). Even their "IoT" plans with pooled data wanted an absurd per-device fee every month.

I finally settled on SimpleX [0] which has been working very well though I wish their API was a little nicer. I pay an upfront fee ($3) for each eSIM then, based on the plan I picked, I pay $0.04/MB and $0.25/device/mo. I wanted a lower per-device per-month fee for a higher per-MB fee. They have other plans where the MB cost is cheaper and you pay more per month. If I ever get to the point where I'm using the iPads more frequently then maybe it will be worth switching to one of those plans but as it is I pay <$100 per event I do for all my data which I'm very happy with (42 iPads).

Can a freelancer optimize his taxes to the same extent as a small business owner?

Why would people want to be employed in a country like the Netherlands?

It's not like the US with crazy expensive healthcare, heck it's free over here.
It is standard with Bing and chat GPT to wait a few seconds before the result appears. Early adopters excuse this since they value the AI text, realize it's being generated at high expense, and there's no way to make it much faster on the backend. Non-adopters won't value AI text or the technical hurdles.

Google is in a hard place - they need to roll the feature out to stay relevant to early adopters of AI. But they can't give good results without making it a huge loss leader - their revenue comes from sending users to spam. They can't seriously commit to a loss leader that counters their entire business model, so they're going to half ass it. That stands to upset established users and early adopters alike, with an unfocused and executive sabotaged Hail Mary.

I call this the "decline of AOL" phase of Google's lifecycle. There's a big crisis about the value and necessity of the service, but rather than innovating, execs can only push annoying ads and gimmicks.
My household of 5 adults maxes out a gigabit connection routinely. Streaming video, cloud based gaming, video calls, downloading game updates, backing things up to cloud storage. It adds up. I anticipate some might argue "that's not right" or "that's not possible, your network is wrong" - all I can say is that it happens and that it'd be less likely to happen with a 10gbps connection.
Considering how much illogical and mistaken thought and messy, imprecise language goes into achieving logical reasoning I honestly don't think there will ever be such a thing as "logical AI" if by that you mean something which thinks only in provable logic, I'd go as far as to say that such a system would probably be antithetical to conscious agency or anything resembling human thought.
You might choose to provide a geographic area with such numbers. I have no idea what you're referring to ...
Hey I star projects just as a way of bookmarking them..
I disagree, for multiple reasons:

1. You need to verify that all the sensitive data is indeed guarded with the appropriate capabilities.

2. You need to verify that the capability objects are created only after proper authorisation.

3. You need to verify that the capability objects cannot escape their relevant context.

4. You need to verify that the data is not accessible by "extra-program" means, e.g. the file containing the data may be read via a dumb directory-injection attack.

Some simple sound techniques by the programming language can help with 3 and a part of 2, but not the rest. Indeed the current #1 top vulnerability [1] is a misconfigured or incorrect access control.

You misspelled "returns an error".

It might be worth considering Python, where the most central change from 2 to 3 was that strings would now be validated UTF-8. I don't understand why it gets discarded with "it was designed in the 1990's" when that change happened so recently.
At what point does a "clever technique" become a "hack" in the world where code is law?

The biggest mistake I see those in the crypto space make is thinking that you can remove humans from the loop entirely and just rely on machines. It just cannot work.

Sure! There's a USB "uvc" (USB Video Class device) gadget in Linux. https://docs.kernel.org/usb/gadget_uvc.html

There is support in gstreamer. The example shows piping the standard test signal out as uvc gadget. https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/uvcgadget/in...

There's various write-ups out there for example using a RPi as a USB webcam, using this. These write-ups cover more of the details of - as an end user - setting up/configuring the gadget device. https://github.com/geerlingguy/pi-webcam?tab=readme-ov-file#...
People have done experiments with "muonium" where a positive muon interacts with a negative electron. Note the muon lasts for about 2 microseconds, and given that the speed of light is about a foot per nanosecond it is practical to make the muons by colliding particles with a target, have them go through a shield that stops other background, then observe muonium doing its thing in a target.

The tau decays in about 3*10^-13 sec so at best it is going to make it a fraction of a millimeter. Now we regularly see muons travel at ultrarelativistic speed that extend their lifetime and range

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Relativ/muon.html

but (1) it is harder to get a tau going that fast, and (2) it will probably decay before it slows down enough from

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremsstrahlung

to actually bind to an electron.

On the other hand if your collision energy is very close to the threshold to make a pair of taus they might stay bound after they're made which makes it possible to study it.

----

Note the easiest high energy physics experiment you can do is set up a scintillator and look for two flashes of light that come, say, within 20 microseconds of each other and make a histogram of the time between them to measure the lifetime of the muon. In this case you get free muons cosmic ray shows. This was the most popular experiment in the graduate physics lab at my school, particularly for people who weren't that interested in doing experiments.
Most of them would still be in warranty:

> 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period.

https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-warranty

In reality, an NMC battery would last 1000+ cycles. If you get 200 miles to a charge then you’re looking at 200k miles. LFP will be 2 - 3x this.

Scaling the AI Memory Wall with Dataflow and Composition of Experts
That is a special case and I agree that in that case authorization is needed since older people can be especially vulnerable to evil relatives.

How about, one is allowed to go to some authority or doctor, 3 times at the space of 10 days, and express their desire. They can always change their mind. At the end of their 3 visits they are given a prescription.
This is just an example, there can be other ways.

Edit: to clarify, 3 visits, 10 days apart is 30 days. And, the person has to do themselves so obviously need to be healthy and the person receiving the affidavit/declaration can notice if there are any mental health concerns. Make it 6 visits for total of min 60 days. As long as there is a good and relatively easy process I’m good.
Yes. People are allowed to have a preferred label. If there is a different label preferred by those people whose gender identity matches their gender assigned at birth/biological sex, please tell us what it is. We'll use it.

Unless, of course, the term is insulting to other people. In particular, words like "normal" are not useful, because they imply that other people are in some way defective. Trans people are not defective; they are perfectly healthy trans people.

So if you can tell me your preferred label, let me know, and I'll use it. But if you're really just saying you don't want to be labeled at all, then you're out of luck.

Personally, I'm perfectly happy to be labeled "cisgender". It seems accurate. The term has never been used as a term of opprobrium. Nobody has ever be threatened with it. So I'm perfectly happy.

If your experience differs, then let us know and we'll find a better label.
That issue was opened in 2022. Honestly if you really get into the nitty gritty of PC it becomes quickly apparent there’s some very strange design choices and priorities.

You can produce some great stuff but there are many dev-exp headaches
I think you are unjustified in squaring those numbers. A system that protects the borders protects the whole territory—so the relationship will surely be more linear than quadratic.
on macOS, I use anybox (I could do with a note app, but it’s neat). For the past year, any interesting link I come across, I add it there. The few I use daily, I add them to the browser as bookmarks. Most of my browsing is autocompleting from the history instead of search engines.
Presumably, this would be a competitive reason, no? It would further the cost savings they GA'd with Gemini Flash, and it's a differentiator from every other provider.
I'd be happy to see you numbers for estimated likelihood, prior, and marginal probability if you have them. I'm curious what you get.
Nice, very ambitious! I like the twist to extract from the compiled IL code, much easier, more stable and reliable than parsing the source. My one gripe here is that the code does not follow the .NET paradigm of using resources at all. Still, very clever and a lot of functionality.

I don’t know of any public details on how they implement Context Caching, but that is presumably exactly what they are doing. Just caching the text would be a minimal savings.
But isnt the information somehow cached when you start a new chat and build context with say GPT4? If the caching was so large as you say so many chat sessions in parallel would not be possible.
> it's just setting some values

But it may very well be slower than just recompute it. At least for ordinary MHA and even GQA.

So, either a model arch woodoo significantly reducing kv cache size (while keeping roughly the same compute cost), or some really careful implementation moving kv cache of upcoming requests to devices in background [0].

[0] My back of envelop calc shows that even then it still does not make sense for, say, Llama 3 70B on H100s. Time to stare at TPU spec harder trying to make sense of it I guess.
So your view is that these pieces are modern forgeries? It's _maybe_ possible we could create something like this with today's machinery, but if you're saying some ancient person with enough time could create these, it's just not the case. It's not just that I don't believe a determined human can do amazing things, but it's just impossible to create the precision these cuts show without measurement tools almost more precise than we have the capability to make today.
