ChatGTP salesmens' problem is its users feel constrained by the truth
From every single testimonial on https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-enterprise/

"With the integration of ChatGPT Enterprise, we’re aimed at achieving a new level of employee empowerment"

Not we're achieving it.

"ChatGPT Enterprise has cut down research time by an average of an hour per day"

Not X%.

"the use cases for ChatGPT Enterprise are plenty"

Not the use successes.
None of those things matter, if all you're looking to do is run your existing workloads on mi300x in the cloud. You get more bang per buck by going AMD.
The denial is strong.

Find anyone, anywhere, who can answer as broad of a range of questions, as quickly, as well, as ChatGPT does.

No human can match any one of those 3 dimensions of performance.

I would not categorize that as a “nice” people thing to do. Unless nice somehow means quiet and willing to be walked all over.
Meanwhile applying, how about working on a project that you can showcase? Use the latest popular technologies in terms of maximizing chance of getting hired.

I think it's pretty normal for hiring team to be worried to hire somebody who hasn't coded significantly for the past 3 years to do coding role.
It's not the undecidability that is a problem, it's the discontinuity. Undecidable answers are manageable, random answers however are very annoying to deal with.

How are these people finding VGA cables in the street :S I needed like 10 or so VGA cables recently for an art installation and asked everyone I could and nobody had any lying around... I ended up having to buy new ones which seems a shame considering how many are thrown away!
You likely wouldnt be running this off a lead acid car battery.

You’d have a lithium battery and an additional power source, like solar or generator, to top that battery off.
I voted for his pay package.

Why? Well, he made the deal years ago with outrageous performance targets,
either meet them or don't get paid. He met the targets. Pay him.

Oh, and he has to pay to get those shares. They aren't free. When was the last
time you paid to get paid? And he still has to wait 5 years to cash out.

As for laying off the supercharger team... that saves nearly $1B per year in
people costs. But Elon just said it will invest $500 million in a network
expansion and create thousands of new chargers this year. More chargers,
fewer people, more company money saved.

As for "the EV market is entering a new phase", lets look at some numbers.

The car majors are LOSING over $100,000 PER ELECTRIC CAR OR TRUCK.
Tesla is MAKING about $7000 per car. How do you think the race is going?

Ford is trying to build a CATL battery plant in Michigan but people won't let him.
Tesla is building several battery plants and investing in their own technology.

All of the majors buy "carbon credits" from Tesla amounting to Billions every year.

Tesla Semi pulls the same load and the same distance as deisel but saves an
estimated $80,000 over the lifetime of the truck in fuel costs (forget savings
in maintenance). So buy 2 trucks, get the third one free.

Tesla Model Y is the best selling car (EV or ICE) worldwide. Norway posted 95% of
vehicles sold last month, including non-Teslas, were EVs.

As for the investment required to make EVs, VW and Toyota are the world's largest
debt companies. They have to write off dozens-of-Billions of factory cost as a loss
during EV conversion. Tesla has $20 Billion in cash, not debt.

I'm sure the horse industry thought Henry Ford was stupid, evil, and a threat
to their business.
> It's a 600 page technical book

You do understand that you don't have to read an entire book before forming an opinion, right?

> sort through everything that exists

"Book that has been considered a classic for forty years and was used as the intro text at MIT for decades" is a long, long way from "everything that exists".
Needing to add an extra battery to an off grid power supply just to power a “portable” router designed to accept grid power and not 12V is a huge fail on starlinks part, regardless of the cost of the battery to power it.

For reference 60w is similiar power draw to a Dometic fridge or a laptop.

Also adding a huge heavy battery to a boat is a non-negligible consideration in a lot of cases.

You can paper launch as much as you want but Blackwell isn't shipping until Q4.

Also Blackwell's lead will be short lived, because mi350x is coming out next year, and it will have a node and architecture advantage. So AMD will be ahead again.
Salers playing on FOMO doesn't mean it works though.

You have the same situation with time limited sales on Amazon for instance. It should be rising your FOMO to the roof, but as a consumer you know there will be another sale in 2 month, or really it could be any day, and if you were to miss this sale on an item you wanted, you'd just wait for the next sale.

On the other side, Nike shoes actually disappear from the line up. There's models that were functionally different that I regret not stock-piling when they were still in production. And they were not marketed as exclusives or limited, they just got discontinued. It's not FOMO, it's actual time scarcity.
This is a really impressive project! It was a fun read. Thanks for sharing! I like this writing style.

> As an aside, I try to create a dual-target build for all my embedded projects, with a native host build for rapid prototyping/debugging

I find myself doing the same thing on my embedded projects, including at my job. I actually find myself using the PC build much more frequently than the hardware for my day-to-day work now that the hardware layer is stable and tested. More people should do this!
I would bet large amounts of money that Biden doesn’t drop out before the election. It would be unprecedented and there’s no indication it would happen.
Fomo is also a great way to make some one act or move the case forward.

In context to enterprise sales: most large enterprise deals need multiple stakeholders to sign off. Fomo helps your champion create the urgency needed to conclude the sale.
> this measure, incidentally, doesn't count energy used for exports at all

Literally, it does. It's consumption-based energy usage. It's trade adjusted

> the usa starts out at 94, peaks at 104, dips down to 87, and then rises back up to 97, with lots of wiggles in between. that isn't a picture of a secular decline in energy use, it's a picture of random fluctuation around an average

The trend line is at best a flat line. Here's a picture of energy usage per capita over a longer timespan (inc. prior to the 80s when offshoring of manufacturing and cheap shipping came into play)

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use?tab...

> the main outlier among 'developed' countries is not south korea but the people's republic of china

As I mentioned this is due to it's growing wealth, not the greater economy of power. Even though China has been growing phenomenally in GDP, it's GDP per capita vs consumption-based energy usage is going down (or yet to exceed 2011 levels):

Almost everything you described could be done by a private sector union. They're just worse at it.
I used turtle in middle school. I think that was my first experience where I got to tell a computer what to do and make something. We had a very limited amount of time in the lab, but I loved every bit if it!
Big shiny square metal block doesn’t look so bad to me, but big shiny heavy square metal block does. Perhaps big it is the switch back and forth… big and heavy are fuzzily size-like characteristics while shiny is not…

Is a big shiny square metal block the same thing as a big square shiny metal block? I’m not sure. I think the former is a big square metal block which happens to also be shiny, while the latter is a big square block made of a shiny type of metal.

Does that make any sense at all?
To add to the confusion, in English people might pronounce the article "a" as "ei" (like when reciting "ABC") or "uh" (like the start of "under"). I think most Americans do the latter. I do, at least.

Good luck, I'm sympathetic as I've gone through some rough patches, and once thought my career was over.

Looking at my career, it tanked at age 44, in 2007 due to the financial crisis, and has never truly recovered. Part of this is the reality of getting old. Age discrimination is real.

I am now 60, and still employed, but mainly with contracts, and even those have been difficult to get, in part because I am not a good interviewer.

My approach has been to focus on senior software engineering roles, even though that could be considered "junior" given my decades of experience.

All I can suggest is that you cram for interviews for whatever roles you are hoping to get. Read Cracking the Coding Interview, practice solving problems on Hacker Rank, cram for design and behavioral interviews, etc.

Yes, I had to practice doing l33t code bullshit. It is part of how we have to play the game.

note that most energy sold isn't electric. jevons made his observation when none was

not all consumer energy prices are rising, and the situation you describe where the producer captures the whole consumer surplus only happens in the absence of competition

jevons says people will compensate for more efficient tvs by buying more and bigger tvs, and for more efficient hvac by building bigger houses, living in hotter areas, and installing air conditioning in more spaces. this has been a major trend of the last 25 years you're talking about, in fact

similarly, it's true that the amount of energy per flop is going down, though not nearly as much as you might think; on the cpu it was about 2000 picojoules 30 years ago, and closer to 500 picojoules today. (the numbers you give for the m1 would work out to 16 picojoules, but the real numbers are even better. 2.6 teraflops is the graphics card, which uses 11.5 watts, which is 4 picojoules per flop. most computers lag far, far behind that in efficiency.) but the amount of energy spent on computers keeps going up and up
The map is not the territory. Your dog is not any dog. And you may perceive enough differences between the abstract thing and the real, present one, to disconnect the abstraction name from it. To the point to be out of words to name it.

The reason is probably because Monopoly as written is short and brutal. Which isn't fun for families. So people add rules to make more fair. Which has result of making it last longer and turn into slog.

The solution is for families other games which are better suited especially for younger kids. But Monopoly has established itself as universal family board game.

This isn't correct. One example is that URIs don't necessarily provide the means of locating a resource. Another example is that the author says there are no URIs which are URNs.

This is wrong according to the URI RFC, which the author cites: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-1.1.1

The following example URIs illustrate several URI schemes and
variations in their common syntax components:

I love the examples in your second paragraph - that helps make the point that they're not entirely commutative. Still, I couldn't write a nice generalizable rule on why I do agree with your breakdown of these examples.
Pretty much all of us in the vanlife/overland space run Lithium batteries now, the smallest of which is basically 100Ah. I'm just about to put either 300Ah or 400Ah into my new Jeep camper to run an induction cook top, water pump, hot water, lights, charging and a lot more.

I also just mounted 600W of solar on the roof.

The power needs of Starlink is a tad annoying, but certainly not a deal breaker for anyone living in a vehicle that actually needs internet anywhere on the planet.
We use them for automation and data collection in our chem lab. I’d call that professional.
That was the problem. I typed "Leveraging cloud based infrastructure" which apparently wasn't bullshitty enough.
Yes, we backup a git repo, but not a GitHub with their issues, PRs and so on.

So i have question to HN too, what a good ways you know to backup GitHub repo with all stuff from there?

I tried a gitea, but it may only copy repo once, but not sync changes.
Agree with all the other comments saying this specific connection seems iffy and rather unlikely. The many significant differences cited are strong evidence, G and Q and R are entirely different. The most distinctive feature of Visa aside from the stencil dropouts is the missing ‘lost and found’ strokes with A, N, V, and W, and Quake’s font doesn’t have this feature at all.

On top of that there are a billion stencil fonts! There are thousands of them that narrow near the stencil dropouts. Seems like the author is making wild speculation.
It works perfectly fine crossing any borders.

it even (currently) works in all the countries in Africa where the governments have requested for it to stop working. It is unknown if SpaceX will disable it in those specific countries.

Seems contradictory. Maybe this is a cue to think honestly about why you feel compelled to defend yourself.
To add to the mess, the WHATWG now maintains a "URL" spec that covers URIs and declares URIs an outdated term for URLs: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/

So now we have a URL spec from WHATWG that says URI is an old term for URLs, and a URI spec from the IETF that says that URL is just a term for a certain subset of URIs.
5:1 and 10:1 is probably a ratio that the US can keep up with, militarily, in part because of how much the pork barrel nature of our spending means that sloshes around, and we're not hard-hit for those dollars. In wartime, we can both bring those costs down, and hopefully retool and rebuild the economy as we did in WW2 to flat out outproduce any enemy, but it's unlikely it can come to that.

What we're bad at is asymmetric warfare of the 100:1 and 1000:1, as Iraq and Afghanistan have shown.
I suspect a UV lamp over the evaporator would solve this problem. It would not need to be lit continuously, just at a regular interval short enough to quash any fledgeling fungal or bacterial growth. There may be swamp coolers which have such a sterilising function integrated, otherwise it'd be a useful hack with market potential.
Normal car batteries really hate if you discharge them anywhere close to their capacity. You can get deep-cylce lead acid batteries built for that, but at that point just get lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Windows Wi-Fi Driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Critical bug in Windows systems. It is possible to take control of the system via Wi-Fi. The user does not have to do anything. All they need is for someone within range of their wifi to want to hack them. The attack is simple, repeatable, reliable.
So we are all in agreement. :)
Thanks! I didn't know about it, and it looks great.
Most of the silicon needed to produce solar cells is mined from regions with significant reserves of high-purity quartz.

The mining of quartz typically involves several methods depending on the nature and location of the deposit. Here are the common methods used:

- Open Pit Mining: This is the most common method for mining quartz. It involves the removal of large amounts of soil and rock to access the quartz deposits. This method is used when the quartz is found close to the surface. Heavy machinery such as excavators and bulldozers are used to remove the overburden (the soil and rock overlaying the quartz).

- Hard Rock Mining: In cases where quartz is found in veins within rock formations, hard rock mining methods are employed. This involves drilling and blasting to break up the rock and access the quartz veins. The material is then transported to the surface for processing.

- Underground Mining: If the quartz deposits are located deep underground, underground mining techniques are used. Miners create tunnels and shafts to reach the deposits. This method is more labor-intensive and expensive than open pit mining but is necessary for accessing deep deposits.

- Placer Mining: This method is less common for quartz but can be used in riverbeds and stream deposits where quartz particles have been eroded and deposited. It involves washing and sifting through gravel and sediment to extract the quartz.

Open pit mining and hard rock mining can cause significant land disturbance and environmental degradation, including deforestation, habitat destruction, and soil erosion. Proper environmental management practices and reclamation efforts are essential to mitigate these impacts.

We aren't talking about sand.

The production of the current global output of solar cells require from somewhere between 8-10 million metric tons of coal annually.
Fun fact: execution is not only deterministic, but guaranteed to terminate eventually. I.e. no indefinite loops or recursion is allowed. Quite useful for a configuration language. Of course, that means it's not Turing-complete.
Since either of them winning would mean a term limited incumbent in 2028, my guess is that both parties will nominate a Millennial candidate for the next election, both messaging that they're the party of fresh ideas for the future.

> Literally every single HN post ever could have someone reply with “this person said an unrelated bad thing and therefore should be ignored”.

This is a deep mischaracterisation of my perspective. It is not that has said a singular unrelated thing, but that he has made a pattern of saying many bad related things, such as "I will not support convenient error propagation because you shouldn't propagate errors", or "OOP and FP are bad concepts practised by dogmatic people who don't know what they're doing".

I think your issue here is one of trust. I have reached a conclusion based on what I've seen, and you don't trust that it's accurate. You think I'm being disingenuous in some way, cherry picking bad quotes or whatever. It's fine not to trust people, but you should actually look into the matter instead of just making a fuss. When you see someone giving their opinion on something and you don't like it, here are some more productive things you can do: ask for evidence, provide a counter argument (supported by evidence), or even simply express that you disagree (what is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence). Telling someone "you shouldn't have said that" is the worst of these options.
One can disagree without being disagreeable. “From my experience, this approach will have the following downsides…” is disagreeing. “Only an idiot would suggest that approach” is being disagreeable.

Too many engineers take the 2nd approach, and then tell themselves that everyone else is the problem when they get labeled as “disagreeable”. At best, they mean well but are sorely lacking in social skills. At worst, the cruelty is the point, and “I’m just telling it like it is” is their attempt at gaslighting others.
It is funny that shininess is a characteristic that can be attributed to the block, or the metal that makes up the block, despite the block being made of the metal!

It's a noisy signal.

Some employers still answer a binary question "Eligible to re-hire? Yes/no" and that tells a lot in one bit of information. Of course some employers are vindictive and they just say no out of spite. Others will not answer anything except confirm dates of employment. Or they provide a good reference on a bad employee just so they leave without having to fire them.
