First, check into who owns the code. With most Work for Hire agreements in the US, the client owns the code.. it may be squishy/unclear on when that ownership occurs. When I still consulted regularly, I had a lawyer note that ownership is not transferred until all invoices are cleared. It was never challenged in court but gave me some leverage.

Second, understand where the code/system currently is. If it's on your server (defined as a server you own or rent), you have different options than if it's on their server.

If it's your server - unless you have a commitment to continue providing the service - you may be able to shut it off immediately.

If they have granted you access to their server for the "duration of the project", you may be able to make the argument that the project isn't over yet and do things.. but speak to an attorney.

Either way, if this is a mission critical app for them, disrupting their business can cause other difficulties for you that you don't want.

Collect the information you have - agreements, records of payments, commitments (written are best, verbal are usually worthless), and ownership - and speak to an attorney. In the US, many lawyers will speak with you for 30 minutes for free as they evaluate your case and lay out options.
That's a really good question...

Say the landscaping contractor screws up your yard, and you want a refund of the $2500 you paid. They refuse so you take them to Small Claims.

Let's say you win... what happens next? Usually nothing. You have a judgement you can rightfully enforce, but every path of enforcement is going to cost you more time and more money (wage garnishment, etc).

For such a relatively small amount of money, it can quickly become not worth while to collect.

For your county, you can look up what your local Sheriff Office charges to provide these services. Fees vary by location. Fees tend to stack as you have to file paperwork with multiple entities, etc. This all takes a lot of time as well, and you are not going to recover any of the enforcement expenses either.

The math is different in each situation - but you can see where it can often become not worth enforcement.

Most scientists unfortunately lack the technical skill to make their code easy to run elsewhere... however I think it is getting better.

Someday I would like to see it a requirement that the code has to run anywhere with a single command, e.g. 'docker compose up' or such, and then automatically produce all of the figures and analysis in the paper. There have been some pushes to start journals where the articles themselves can't have any plots or numbers directly, but must automatically generate them from code on the journals servers, e.g. with something like R markdown. It hasn't caught on because the work and technical skill required is too much.
They start with some basic skills but the model builds the more complex skills. The specific skills that they start with depends on which task, for example RDR2 they start with only how to turn, move forward, shoot, and select an item from the item equip wheel and then a couple composite skills that were not _necessary_ but saved a lot of time - for example, "follow npc", since the model could follow an npc without it but it required a huge amount of back and forth. However, a lot of skills were actually learned by the model from the in-game tutorial in RDR2 explaining how to do things!

> So this approach can't be generalised, can it?

The paper definitely demonstrates that the _approach_ can be generalized because they use the same approach across a variety of different environments and tasks, but you can also see that they did have to specialize the prompts, tools (like how the incoming screenshot was decorated with object detection / segmentation, stuff like that), and set of skills for each environment.
The main weakness of Forth is that modern programming is basically connecting pieces of APIs from different systems. This is true at the OS level, and much more so at the distributed level (web). So you're stuck with languages that help with this type of interfacing, such as Python and Java, while languages that excel in expressibility and logical development like Forth provide little benefit to the type of programming we're forced to do every day.
Thing is that isn't a single unified Amiga community with a clear goal. Roughly speaking you have people who (like this project) want to keep the "OS/UI experience" and move that forward to newer architectures and build new stuff for that (PPC was the main target for a long time), and what you call diehard retrocomputing people who are more closely tied to the hardware used back in the day - M68K and custom chipset (or at least the "period correct" HW extensions made possible by original Commodore made machines).

I'm probably mostly in the latter camp, but still appreciate efforts like this. It's not a rational thing, but more about "reliving the past" but with more skills/money/available software. Like classic cars or whatever, where you know you could have a better overall experience with a newer car, but you want to tinker on the old one (where maybe you now got the upgrade model you yearned for back in the day).

This issue is specifically affecting Intel's K-series line, which are engineered to run up against the CPU's thermal limits. Basically, as long as there is load on the CPU and the CPU is running below 100°C, it keeps cranking up the frequency and voltage until it hits that barrier. I am quite sure that this behavior is what is causing CPU lifespan issues as pumping a theoretically unlimited amount of volts into a CPU can't be healthy. AMD is doing this performance hack on their newest AM5 Ryzen CPUs as well.
> Lumping both 13th and 14th gen hardware together makes it harder to take the claims as easily at face value. 13th gen have been around long enough that you’d think they’d be able to dig up a kernel mailing list bug report or some other corroboration of their accusation.

This is pretty damn reasonable actually. The 14th gen Intel desktop hardware is for all intents and purposes, essentially the same as the 13th gen hardware. It behaves nearly identically, it benchmarks nearly identically.

Infiniband and ethernet are very different at the lowest levels. Ethernet interconnects use RoCE (RDMA over converged ethernet), which actually encapsulated infiniband transport in ethernet, but you still pay for higher routing latency, and you need separate compute-network and storage-network to avoid queueing (lossless ethernet).

The problem is real.

Based on Fortnite’s suggested fix in their help, it sounds like there there is some flaw in the Intel hardware that makes it crash later in life when using the shipping voltage, which is maybe its most important parameter. When that is forced to be higher the part gets much hotter and performance per watt declines.
My hypothesis would be that companies with poor operational practices are more likely to underperform the index and have data breaches - in other words, that the study confuses cause and effect.

This wouldn't be that hard to test. I suspect that the breached companies underperformed in the six months before the breach as well as the six months after.
Best defense is to not be there.

With new clients, they pay half up front or we don't start. I've refunded part of this amount a handful of times if some part of the process doesn't work out for whatever reason, so I don't spend or invest the money until the project is done.

It's not just that you're losing less money if the client decides not to pay. It's also that your clients are more likely to pay: a client who is willing to pay up front isn't stingy with money. These clients are better in a lot of other ways, too.

I think in 5 years of doing this, I've been turned down by 2 clients because of this. I freelanced a year before I started having this policy, I was turned down by 1 client after giving an estimate.

Repeat clients, I don't make them pay up front. I might reconsider that if a client was significantly late on a payment, but so far that hasn't been a problem, possibly because the up-front pay half filters out clients likely to pay significantly late. I say "significantly" because I've on occasion waited as much as 2 weeks for payments, but in those cases I believe it was due to disorganization rather than any malicious intent.

EDIT: One thing that I think makes clients willing to pay half up front is that typically I try to break the project into as small of chunks as possible, with a truly minimal viable product being released up front. The first contract is for the first chunk, and the half up front is for that chunk. This results in a smaller initial payment, as a lot of my initial contracts are in the range of $4000-$8000.

This also incentivizes them to agree to breaking up projects--some clients want to sign one big contract for a $250k two year project, but balk at paying half of that up front--and when the project finishes faster and for far less than they initially wanted to sign for, I gently remind them how much money I saved them.

Additionally, a lot of the value I bring to the table is this sort of process improvement. I've been in contact with a few clients a few years after we worked together, and found out that they were still doing the small-releases process I brought in. I'm not going to call it agile because a lot of these companies were doing "Agile" before--that word basically doesn't mean anything any more, unless you're really clear about defining it as defined by the Agile Manifesto.

I don't think have seen any different since always. You have to always look for the next job, IT companies do not last, this is how it works.

If this was them bringing over window.ai from Chrome I'd say it would be good. I love the offline translation they added, and wouldn't mind something similar for LLM. But having a separate panel that's just basically chatgpt & co isn't impressive.

The spacial characteristic is important because activity at two nearby dendrites receiving excitatory (or inhibitory) inputs have an additive effect which is greater the closer they are, this is because the signal is based on concentration of ions and when those signals are closer together they can surpass the concentration threshold that's needed to trigger voltage gated ion channels to open.

Yeah, things have been downhill since they killed the old plugin system. Though I think this should be possible with the current plugins.

I understand the security problems with the old way, but they could have spent all these years working on a sandbox with granular permissions.

But for something like this they could make a system that only works with their own official plugins. tie the plugin versions to browser versions, and include the hashes of every plugin. people could install whichever ones they want, and malicious plugins wouldn’t be able to just drop in without also editing the browser binary.

Im sure there are a million other ways too, but designing a secure plugin system for first party software is so much easier than one for third party software.

In my grade school years I moved with my parents to Saudi Arabia for a couple years. It was voluntary on their part, my father had the opportunity to move their for his work (for a US company).

Saudi Arabia isn't North Korea, but it's still a lot less free than most developed countries, especially for females like my mother, who were not allowed to drive or work, could not go out alone, and legally forced to wear a stupid black thing in insanely hot weather while all the males of the country wore comfy white clothing.

I don't know the full story of their financials, but all I know is we got free housing, 1 free trip to the US every year, and 3 free vacations per year anywhere in the world, flights, lodging, and all expenses covered. We did lots of things that I believe they wouldn't have been able to do on their own money at the time. They also rented out their house in the US for extra income.

I wouldn't be surprised if diplomats who voluntarily take posts in North Korea also get a shitton of compensation benefits like that.

You can't necessarily publish a 100% repro for glitchy CPUs. It's stochastic both for whether it happens and whether it's detectable or silent corruption. My glitchy 14900K fails with illegal instruction, or sometimes machine checks. But who can say what else is happening that wasn't detected? I can definitely tell you that at least my instance of the 14900K cannot complete a `bazel test` of Abseil without crashing.

Well, ... they are. This has been being discussed for a while. It came up a bit ago, many people were seeing it in games with a weird error about low VRAM which apparently wound up being linked to Intel's 13th and 14th gen processors. Exactly why is anyone's guess.

That’s kind of my point. They’re clearly running a buggy codebase to begin with that I wouldn’t trust a crash to mean hardware failure.

The links that are included shed more light on things. The write-up linked is a little light on details, and I also expected an actual "flaw". What the other links show is a series of anecdotal reports that the k-series intel processors have been found by end-users to become unstable, and that setting more conservative power management settings in the BIOS helps these chips regain stability.

The argument is that Intel is selling chips that at their out-of-the-box recommended use patterns can wear out extra quickly, and by default are over-volted. So it's not a "flaw" so much as not having a great engineering safety margin for premature wear.
A couple hundred megawatts is what I would expect from a data center, and had planned out before commenting, so that's on the mark. An H100 is very roughly a kW after adding in all the rest of the overhead, so a 200MW data center would have 200,000 H100s. That's massive cluster, but not inconceivable.
While I LOVE LOVE LOVED BeOS. It resonated with me and it was a great experience...it wasn't multiuser and didn't have some stuff that I forget, but seemed necessary for a system to have long-term success. But mam did it cut out the cruft and wring out ALL of the HP of the hardware of the time.

Ask HN: How do you find ideas to work on?
I just don't really think peer review is that important... it doesn't need to be more thorough, you don't need people to double check every little thing or try to replicate things before publication. Good scientists are already skeptical, and will remain so about publications no matter how much peer review it goes through.

In the past, it mostly helped journals weed out papers that weren't interesting, to save print costs. Nowadays, as a scientist, I'd rather everything just get posted quickly on preprint servers, and make my own judgement. Reviewers won't ever look deeply, but you can bet another scientist planning several years of work based on someone else's paper will look really deeply.

IMO when I've had papers not published because of bad reviews, it was usually from competitors that were bitter about me beating them to something important, or using a different approach than they would... or inappropriate reviewers that weren't qualified to understand the paper. I don't think more aggressive gatekeeping by peers would do anyone any good, and should probably just be eliminated entirely.

Having the code is important because the code is part of the methods. Without the code, the work isn't always even possible to reproduce.
