Tbh I didn't know about SKIP LOCKED until now, but it looks like you have to hold a xact open the entire time the worker runs, which can be a problem. What I've done before is timestamp cols for start/end. A worker takes any job whose end time is null and start time is not too recent, which makes retries natural and flexible.

A pubsub pattern like pg_notify can definitely make sense depending on the requirements, but I wouldn't jump to it first. The few times I've used pubsub elsewhere, it was when subscribing to some other team's service, not via a shared DB.
why would someone pay for this when they have access for free in a supposedly less buggier interface?
You don't need to like Hamas to dislike what's happening to the Palestinian people. Heck, you don't even need to like the Palestinian people themselves to dislike what is being done to them.
This is such a shame. I have missed Workplace ever since I left my job at Facebook and even tried to influence my current company to adopt it...

It truly comes really close to eliminating the need for emails without sacrificing you learning about what's going on at the company. Important announcements just get shown to you via the news feed and it works so well.
Not for most people. I deal with compromised/malware infested websites so my team has a document with over 600 entries that locks down as much as possible. Arkenfox is included in that and that should cover what most people need in terms of privacy. Firefox on my work PC has things disabled that most people would probably want like SVG, Wasm, JS, auto/form fill, saved passwords, searching from the address bar, reader view, mathml, browser.fixup, remote fonts, PDF viewer, etc.

Around 1985, while I was working at the Artificial Intelligence Center of (the now defunct) Boeing Computer Services, I evaluated Fernando Pereira's NLP code written in Prolog for his dissertation (he was one of the authors of the referenced 1987 article). My recollection is that his parser was very slow, and difficult to extend (adding rules to account for other English grammatical structures). Another fellow working at the AIC at the time had written a parser in LISP, and I ended up writing the English grammar for his parser.

That's not to say that LISP was faster than Prolog in general, just this particular program was slow.

Now a days, of course nobody writes parsers or grammars by hand like that. Which makes me sad, because it was a lot of fun :).
On my server with 70 sites with about 100.000.000 unique pages I saw 60 urls per second regularly. Not even Googlebot hammers my server at that rate.

You made that money by taking advantage of other people exactly like you. You could do the same thing at a casino and it would be less morally fraught (and about as reliable).

Surely yearly revenue would be more interesting here—presumably pretty much any financial metric you can select in a given year will be dwarfed by market cap.
Most of the memory in a phone is flash. All flash memory has limited write cycles and there's a speed/lifetime tradeoff, also. Flash devices normally actually have more memory than stated, writes go to empty pages that then replace the original, which is then wiped. Every cycle the cell grows slightly weaker until one day it's too weak.

In the best case when a page write fails the memory controller discards the page from the pool, when the pool becomes exactly equal to the official size the device goes into permanent read-only mode. (Which would brick any device it's built into. A PC you could pop in another drive, a phone you can't.) Many devices have failure modes worse than this.

The better the quality of the memory the more margin it has, and how much you write to a drive has little to do with how big it is--from a practical standpoint life expectancy is roughly linear with size.

"Laser-focused on the bottom line at the expense of all else" is not how I'd describe Google, now or at any point in the past. They have a lot of dysfunction, but if anything that dysfunction stems from too much experimentation and autonomy at the leaf nodes of the organization. That's how they get into these crazy places where they have to pick between 5 chat apps or whatever.

If Google were as focused on ads as you seem to think we'd at least see some sort of coherent org-wide strategy instead of a complete lack of direction.
Other way around: Self driving cars "are ready" but then people in this thread seemed to redefine what ready means.

I don't understand and think we may be talking past each other. Age discrimination is not legal, and you would likely get in trouble at most big companies for asking candidates their age. Whereas, if you instituted an IQ test for candidates, you would probably brag about it publicly, as companies manifestly do.
> You can use whatever solution you want - hold the timestamp, smear time, it's up to you. It's still monotonic, and uses the same epoch.

"Whatever solution" I want? So… let's assume the programmer thinks "it's just POSIX time", they call their language of choice's "gimme POSIX time" function. This function, under default circumstances, is probably going to say "the leap second in POSIX time is also the last second of the day", i.e., it repeats the timestamp. Thus, it isn't monotonic.

I find it terribly annoying that for years I've almost been able to use an iPad instead of a computer on personal trips. The lack of background app support in particular pushes it over the edge into not quite usable for that, even for cases where I don't need anything else like extensive multitasking or secondary app stores like Steam.

I didn't call him childish. I told him to stop being childish. Can you really argue his "how cynical! I'm trembling." reply isn't being childish?

Then he responded with an absurd response about how he should get me fired and I said he sounds like a child. Again, not a personal attack but a characterization of his tone. Which I don't see how anyone could take issue with. I'm being far more civil than him.

He gave me nothing substantial to respond to. All i can do is ask him to stop behaving like a child.

Worthless for some use cases but there are reasons to run Mac-on-Mac vms, including testing, development, and security (isolation). The first two also apply to some folks (maybe not many) for Linux VMs.
I imagine thats just a function of how much training data you throw at it.
This puts me in mind of a home owner on one of those renovations shows where the workers discover a structural flaw mid way through the job, and explain this means they don't have as much in the budget now for added features.

The equivalent of the boss in this story would demand to leave the structural issues unaddressed to keep the marble counter tops in the budget, and then the house would cave in a year later.

I don't know why they didn't say it in this article, but in https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/126.0/releasenotes/ they said:

> This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP addresses as potentially identifying metadata. No profiling will be performed, and no data will be shared with third parties.

So it seems they aren't selling it directly. But I wouldn't be surprised if aggregated numbers could be used for sales deals. (Hi Bing, we have 137M "travel" searches a month, I'm sure that you could put some big juicy ads next to those if you purchase the default search engine status)
I don't do any of those things and I still use lists constantly. Kinda strange to learn that many others don't use them at all it seems.
Good point, I did conveniently gloss over that one didn't I!

A switch to break the physical wire connection is about the only thing I can come up with out of hand right now. I believe the PinePhones come with physical switches for their antenna's so there's that.
Yeah I think at this point it's "not if, but when" and the gap between parity is just going to keep shrinking (until/unless there's some kind of copyright/legislative barrier implemented that favors one or the other).

IIRC, most of the promise of web3 was a "semantic web" or a web with a bunch of APIs talking to each other. The hijack was convincing people that some form of payment needed to be built into each API call some way, with some rent seeking/speculation on what the payment was denominated in.
A. Feature. Is. Not. A. Business.

Your business idea should be about solving a problem for your customers. If the way you package and service your solutions saves the customers time and adds value, it doesn't matter what tools you use. The upgrade from hammers to nailguns did not put construction companies out of business.

Even if OpenAI has a ridiculously good voice/conversation set of features, OpenAI is not going to sign a service contract with a small-to-mid size businesses. That is even if that organization had the technological ability to integrate it into their business.
Also worth noting that some early timekeepers used the burning of incense to count down the time.

Looking at MMLU and other benchmarks, this essentially means sub-second first-token latency with Llama 3 70B quality (but not GPT-4 / Opus), native multimodality, and 1M context.

Not bad compared to rolling your own, but among frontier models the main competitive differentiator was native multimodality. With the release of GPT-4o I'm not clear on why an organization not bound to GCP would pick Gemini. 128k context (4o) is fine unless you're processing whole books/movies at once. Is anyone doing this at scale in a way that can't be filtered down from 1M to 100k?

Cameras (including iPhones with cameras) are allowed to be sold, even though you can point them at someone's bedroom window and infringe on their right to privacy. That's just one example. Another example is my right to peace and quiet in the quiet area of a train. Yet iPhones will happily blast noise out of their speakers there, and I have experienced many iPhone users doing so. When can I expect the phones to ship with a volume limiter?
Without doing anything, I have access to GPT-4o in chatgpt and the api already (on a personal account, not related to work). Maybe I’m just super lucky, but it’s certainly not vaporware.

That's the analogy I use in training. In civil engineering you have mostly predictable task durations that have mostly been done many times. You can even predict the variations for different soil conditions, etc. If you are making the same software repeatedly, something is wrong.

Agile, much because of Scrum jargon, has become annoying to a lot of people. Taking them back to the fundamentals - "oh that's why we don't do MS Project network diagrams" - helps.
That speaks volumes about how they value their devs as opposed to their users, and frankly doesn't surprise me. They don't have any interest in hacking the brains of their employees . . . or perhaps they do, but in a different direction.

> have lost much of the reason

I didn't say they have no reason to exist. I indicated they are moving towards becoming UI shells around standard OS features and/or other commodity software, which they are. Look at UTM, for instance. Even VMware Workstation and VirtualBox on Windows use HyperV under the hood if you have HyperV or WSL features enabled.

While everyone still seems to be busy disagreeing with me because of <insert favorite feature>, I'll mention that HyperV does have official support for transparent GPU paravirtualization with nvidia cards, and there are plenty of other open projects in the works that strive to "bleed through" graphics/gpu/other hardware acceleration api's from host to guest on other platforms and hypervisors. With vendors finally settling around virtio as somewhat of a 'standard pipe' for this, expect rapid progress to continue.

Because among other reasons, CAFE standards force quotas via mandated averages, which leads to weird incentives and unexpected results (like EPA regs resulting in larger, not smaller, trucks).

If you're a company that needs to hit an mpg average, and fed rules allow absurd conversion on calculated equivalent empg, then your end up with the market we see today: Inexpensive to make SUVs and Trucks being turned into luxury products to justify absurd price increases, just to offset the losses from hitting ev/high-mpg quotas. (Which are relatively expensive to manufacture and sell for less).

This upside down market was predicted years ago, and has been moving in this direction for 20+ years. It was only a matter of time till profit-margin turned to loss-margin.

If it keeps going they'll approach prices
practically giving EVs away in order keep selling their other vehicles that actually make a profit.

Tangent: from a sustainability engineering perspective, the lifetime energy costs/consumption of EVs is heavily front-loaded compared to iceVs. You pay more upfront (in both energy and $s) manufacturing the batteries and electric motors, whereas ice vehicles are cheaper to make but use/waste more energy in-use (per fillup).

A lot of (economic) market and regulatory forces are being pushed/pulled beyond limits to get to a desired result. That's why it doesn't make sense, prima facia.

> but more on things that small businesses consider important topics?

could you elaborate on some of those topics?

there's plenty of subreddits like r/ecommerce and so on for specific niches (see people doing say dropshipping) off the top of my head, I can think of day by day busy work that might not interest the venture capital focused HN audience but highly important for small businesses like discussing the occassional news in regards to accounting software like quickbooks or payrolls, setting up printers, running ad campaigns and so on but I feel like these kind of discussions are counter productive by creating more capable competition among small businesses against each other. It's the information asymmetry that gives a small businesses an edge to remain relevant before big players, an edge that we sometimes see erased when popularized on free open platforms where small business owners advertise some strategy and then hordes of copy cats following that diminish the value of the strategy in the first place and why I don't see a HN equivalent existing today.
I’m not sure why this myth is so pervasive on HN. You do not need a 4x8 truck bed to move sheet goods, you only need a bed 4 feet wide and a tow flag. Google is full of pictures of people moving stacks of goods with mini trucks and even sedans. Know how to secure your load.

nVidia - existed for years before most people noticed just what they were up to, and their change in valuation reflects that. For them AI was the point from the start, games was just the bootstrapping mechanism. Prior to the AI explosion they were a decent business but not a spectacular success.
