Yep HealthCare.gov , but its by far not the only site to struggle. And hardware goes beyond cpu and includes things like hardware for the database, resilient fall-over, network bandwidth (ok, less of an issue these days) and so on.

Sure, it takes more than -just- hardware, and yes sites can be more-or-less resource hungry. But ultimately "the server is offline" is not a good thing.

Lots of things cluster when you don't expect it. Like sites to take bookings for national parks (as an example).
How remote are you open to, international remote as well?
For me as a non-native speaker of English and German, this is quite normal - I mostly have an easier time understanding other non-native speakers since they usually use "international" dialect/pidgin, speak slower and usually articulate more distinctly.

With the development of computer vision technology, cutting-edge vision solutions integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to provide sophisticated capabilities for analyzing and interpreting visual data. Cutting-edge vision solutions leverage the latest advancements in AI, deep learning, and computer vision to provide powerful tools for analyzing and interpreting visual data. These technologies enable real-time, accurate, and automated insights across various applications, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in terms of innovation, functionality, efficiency and accuracy in numerous industries.

Frame grabbers play an essential role in cutting-edge vision solutions, especially in applications where high-quality, real-time video data is basic for accurate analysis and decision-making. The relationship between frame grabbers and cutting-edge AI vision solutions is integral, as frame grabbers serve as the crucial hardware interface that enables AI vision systems to capture and process high-quality video data from various sources.
I am very glad I don't live somewhere where AC is needed for survival.
I do think that AC is a bad solution, home's should be designed with small windows, thick walls, tiled floors, insulated roofs that provide overhanging shade and so on.
I have heard about the scam before somewhere. If not 419, then it is something else.
I use it for all my devices. But obviously if you want to host a service with TLS, even an internal one, use a real domain. .home.arpa is only the device hostname, not the service name.
But if you are then mapping the elements to (most likely vastly fewer than 2^32) buckets... why do the hash collisions matter? Just use the top 64 bits of the hash to compute a bucket, using ((hash >> 64) * buckets as u128) >> 64.

The reason this works is that hash64 / 2^64 is almost uniformly distributed on [0, 1), so floor(hash64 * buckets / 2^64) is almost uniformly distributed on [0, buckets). This compiles to a single mul instruction on x86-64, a single mulhi instruction on ARM.
The cost of the machine is proportional to the cost of labor needed to make it. Cheap labor means cheap machines, expensive labor means expensive machines.

Presumably you meant to say 14 miles, not 14 feet. Also, since the adaptive optic system acts on the near-IR light, let's shift the 500nm used to calculate the Rayleigh criterion to at least 1 micron, which doubles the limiting resolution to around 0.011 arcsec.
FWIW, I don't think the creator is who posted it.
It's perhaps how it is seen and used in English. But in China Chinese languages tend to be referred as such with Mandarin referred to as the "common language", etc though the character used has an oral connotation.
This is the kind of attitude that makes people, companies, researchers hesitant to publish code online. Its free code for everyone to see, they don't owe you anything. Its not necessarily a "product" for your consumption, its just a repo.
It's a big organization, but I can understand the feeling, because I had the same attitude towards Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce and many others.
Given that it's not a Show HN, I would assume the author and the person who posted it are different people.

This could be an entirely new anime. "Ganjifa: Ganja Masters"
I wish unix domain sockets worked over NFS. It would be such a nice way to assign user-level permissions on networked services. ssh /services/gw etc. Maybe even file:/// -urls for the web browser, though the cross domain logic would need updates.

It would presume trusting the permission system over NFS, though.
lol. Google managed to get GitHub to ban chrome forks for "spam". that's rich.

High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS)
Flying for months at a time in the stratosphere, Zephyr offers game-changing capabilities that will be transformative for mobile connectivity and earth observation.

As a payload agnostic platform, Zephyr can transform into a multi-functional tower in the sky to provide low latency 5G direct-to-device mobile connectivity services.
If you think these things are about rote memorization, you’re doing them very wrong.
I don't know much from Andreas other than reading a couple of his posts from here, but he's a bit of a superhero to me. Wholesomely humble guy that started what's usually deemed as a massive coding project, from scratch, just to put his head out of some shit - and the guy not only manages to make two great projects, but also identify and adult his way out of one of them for both project's good.

Respect, man.
LOcal Area Network? Low Orbit Area Network?
Most of the lowercase Cyrillic letters are just smaller version of the uppercase ones. And neither the German nor the Russian alphabet is larger to any extent that matters.

CJKV languages are a bit more subtle subject. Vietnamese nowadays uses a romance-inspired alphabet, where only the tone marks are slightly difficult to typeset. Japanese and Korean could have gotten rid of Kanji/Ganja if they really wanted. But in any case printing technology for Chinese characters existed and was in wide use at the turn of the 20th century.
The greatest trick Matt Godbolt ever pulled was putting gcc -E on a website. Probably produced more value worldwide than the whole rest of his career.
I don't think so; this is a corporate project, not an enthusiast's. They probably had to internally justify building it over using an existing solution, so they could simply share their rationale. I am not trying to rain on their parade.

Deyan7 | Full Stack AI Engineer | Bochum, Cologne, Mainz, Germany | Remote possible | Full Time

We are Deyan7. We build leading AI solutions.

Join our tech-savvy team and create solutions for generative AI and ChatGPT. Since the launch of GPT4 in March, we have implemented projects in areas such as fire protection, tax law, education, and medical devices using the latest language models. We develop AI co-pilots for engineers, AI coaches for schoolchildren, and suggestion systems for technical writers. We draw on decades of experience in software development for German global leaders. We see the potential of the technology, are curious about the next developments, and proud of what we are building.

As a Full Stack AI Engineer, you ideally should have fun to:

- experiment with genAI, LLMs and different retrieval technologies
- build suiting Frontends
- build Backends that bridge the gap between Frontend and the ML parts.

You will be working closely with other devs and our customers, with the possibility to actively influence the direction of the project and to introduce new technology or approaches.

Your project increment will always be working software that is really used and needed.

Here´s the catch: our customers are mostly German, hence the data is primarily German and therefore the output of our LLM inferences is German. So, be ready to use German at a C1 level at least!

Additionally, our working setup is currently not capable of handling any other time offsets than +- 3 hours from our local time (CET/CEST).

gov.uk is pretty good, and their forms are quite good. But there are definitely still places where this design is worse than one using JavaScript.

For example when paying for tax free childcare you have to enter a date for when you want the payment to go out. Not only is the date picker just three edit boxes (no "tomorrow" button for example), but it isn't validated at all so if you put in today's date (quite reasonable) and click next it will only tell you on the next page that you can't use today.

It would be much better if a tiny bit of JavaScript told you as soon as you put the date in, and if it had a "tomorrow" button, which would also require some JavaScript.

JavaScript was invented for a reason!
I will give Vexlio a try! I don't have a book category per se, but I read freakonomics last year, and was very impressed by it, if you have similar recommendation, would appreciate it! I read Crime and Punishment but long time ago in high school, don't remember much of it though.

Preventing other users on your network from snooping the administrative credentials to your LAN services for one (easy to do on WiFi, even if you use WPA). Also, if one of your devices switches off your WiFi and onto cellular, and you are using basic authentication, you are not only sending your credentials to whoever owns home.com, but also doing so in plain text. If you did that on some public wifi, that could get picked up by someone snooping. Sure, they wouldn't know where your services are, but why put a crack in your security when you don't need to?

> I can just link people from home.com to a page with an ssl cert if it became necessary for some reason

The only way that would work is if you use a root certificate authority and have them install it as trusted in their device, which is asking them to compromise their security, because that authority will be trusted for all TLS validation on any domain.
Though I agree with the point that paper makes (it makes a good case that the little square mental model of a pixel is mostly inappropriate) it does seem focused on imaging and does not mention places where the little square mental model is appropriate.

Pictures of cats, subpixel rendered text, or company logo SVGs as displayed on a web page are point samples and not little squares.

User interfaces are good examples of often being little squares. Calling HN's beige background a point sampled discrete representation of an underlying continuous function seems pretty tortured — to me it seems like a bunch of beige little squares.

China's far-side Moon mission begins journey back
Sorry, I worded my comment not correctly!

I meant in general like in for gaming uses, integrated gpus are limited by the memory bandwidth of the DDR memory bus compared to the high bandwidth memory on dgpus.
This is an amazing project, but you are pitching it as an engineer. As an amateur photographer, the first thing I want to see are sample photos. Super cool little device!
I believe that "AI girlfriend" is bullshit. Romantic relations are inherently socially validating. Having an AI talk to you does not validate you. It does not have any choice, after all.

"Decent amount of relationships" is bullshit. There's a decent number of housing and renting anywhere housing crisis is taking place. It is purely a question of supply and demand and therefore odds.

It is as reasonable to say "look, some students are having relationships so you're a-OK" as "look, some people are renting and even buying homes, why aren't you happy".

The demand formula is overwhelmingly stacked against young boys. They had their options a hundred years ago; and fifty years ago perhaps they were just supposed to cope in the late-adolescence doll-house setup, but today it increasingly looks like you have no mouth but must scream.
> they can't easily get US contracts and US dollars.

> they want to use your US bank accounts to secure those contracts

> I refused to let the person use my accounts

> He still agreed to my conditions and claimed to be willing to work on any gigs

So how you gonna get the money to them? Isn't that the whole reason they claim they can't deal with clients directly?
Microsoft payed a shitload of money to tech oligarchs for "AI" and is now desperately looking for a use case. And this is the best they could come up with. The future sucks. We gave it up to some scammy tech bros and the tech illiterate management caste.
> Divided by eight, that's 1,875 watts per GPU.

Running one chip one year would consume little more than average American household consumes energy in a year.

The thought of adding equivalent of millions of American households divided around the world ... blood run cold.

Explains why there is rush to build data centers in cold climate. Attaching data center into district heating system of a city is a very good idea. compute + warm water + heating.

I’d like to see it with SDFs!
When first launched, the Apple CPUs did about 50% more work per clock cycle (i.e. more instructions executed simultaneously) than the best Intel and AMD CPUs, enabling a 3.2 GHz Apple CPU to have the same single-thread speed as a 4.8 GHz Intel or AMD CPU.

Because the power consumption grows at least quadratically with the clock frequency, having the same speed at a lower clock frequency provides better energy efficiency.

Meanwhile, the difference in IPC (instructions per clock cycle) between Apple and the others has been reduced, but Apple still has a healthy advantage.

The different microarchitecture explains the energy efficiency advantage for single-threaded tasks.

On the other hand, for multi-threaded tasks, the power consumption per chip area is limited by cooling and the energy required to do a quantity of useful work (which is done by switching a certain number of logic gates) is mainly determined by the parameters of the CMOS process used to make the CPU die (assuming that the CPU designers are not incompetent).

So for multi-threaded tasks the better energy efficiency of the Apple CPUs has been determined mostly by the fact that they have been the only company able to use the latest and greatest TSMC CMOS process.
Non story.

The UK Employment Tribunal deals with about 100,000 cases pa.

The linked article is based on 27 “mentions” of remote working in the first half of 2023, 42 in 2022, 27 in 2021, 16 in 2020, and 6 in 2019.

So that’s a significant rise in an insignificant number.

Oh, those mentions were across 42 tribunals (eg disability claims) and not just the employment tribunal. And the “mentions” may have played no significant part in either the claim or the decision. In fact, there’s no mention of the success of the claims.

Stories like this are cooked up by firms like the “employee relations expert” company named in the story, latched onto by a hack looking for a story, fed quotes by a book of law firms who like their name in print, and ultimately end up on pages like this, all from an intern doing ctrl-F on a web page of tribunal decisions one afternoon.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of cases relating to potential infractions of protected characteristics (your typical “-ism”s) go underreported.
I think easy access to lots of smaller waterways with natural fall and little chance of massive flooding was an important factor for why Britain was able to industrialize before the invention of the steam engine. If you look at where industry popped up in Britain you see water power as a major factor.

Now for the emperor sell him faster and cheaper sword production by making his blacksmiths more productive and you get industrialization as its specialized skills that can’t be easily scaled by throwing tons of bodies at it.
Azure was their most profitable sector. Greeds gonna greed I guess.
No need. I explicitely tell them that I don't care if they remember exact library/function names, and to just make them up and tell me what they do, if they don't remember. If you require specifics like that, you'll filter out anyone who hasn't worked on that specific very recently. Those sorts of things aren't something you should need to worry about keeping in your head for long.
Seconded, very nicely written.

Shook my foundations a little, I remember my partner and I were hiking for a few days at the time I was reading it and I recall having to drag myself back out of my head to experience the mountains

This isn’t even a thing
It depends on how we define what we mean by the word "message".

In the common sense interpretation "file" is not a "message". Nor is the display on which you are reading the message. Nor is a clay-tablet on which ancient Sumerians wrote messages.

"Message" is information sent by someone to someone else. A message could be saved in a file but then the file is just the "medium" for transferring the message to its future readers.

So I would think that "This message does not exist" is something like writing "This is not a pipe" on a painting of a pipe.

I never understood what Marshall McLuhan meant with "Medium is the message". Medium is what makes it possible to transmit messages. Can anybody help me out, what did McLuhan mean?
But isn’t it also common sense that, if it’s already in high transmission then you wearing your mask isn’t going to budge the dial.

Thing is, at those times, responsibility needs to shift back to the individual to take care of themselves.

Most people judged they didn’t need substantial protection (else they’d have worn better masks, well fitted, always).

We sometimes look at human behaviour and find it superficially irrational. But this is an example where rationality simply doesn’t conform to what some would wish it to.

It’s still rational. And I would also argue it is common sense.
Integrated ram, limited to 32 Gb.

I wonder if they'll make 4 Gb SKUs to outdo Apple at their own game...

Also, will the spying coprocessor, sorry, "AI" coprocessor, have a hardware off switch that will cut the power to that part of the CPU?
Super interested in building this.
