I often select Amazon warehouse or refurbished items (don't recall precise wording) and from experience, the quality often is surprisingly shabby, or put differently, that category of merchendise is substantially under-discounted. Metal supports bent, components missing, protective packaging conspicuously breached or smashed. I found this article insightful as it tends to explain the processes that lead to such items being listed as if they are undamaged, conforming and nearly-new. At this point I assume products distributed in that channel are significantly defective albeit probably functional with some effort.

I am aware that HEC exists. Now show me a consumer electronics device that actually uses it. None of my devices advertise this feature.
it seems like actual humans at Amazon reviewed the situation yet let the complaint stand and the original complaint poster now is informed that the complaint blamed the wrong party yet didn't take the effort to update her product review.

lol pretty dissappointed in the humans involved in those two situations and its hard not to be angry on behalf of the previously successful business that was victimized like this.
Ask HN: Do you have home solar?
Hi! I'm one of the co-founders of Jasmine Energy (YC S22) and I'm looking for people who have installed solar panels on their home. If thats you, would you be open to sharing the documents you received from your installer? We're working on a new tool at Jasmine Energy that may be able to help you find rebates and incentives buried deep in those documents.
I'm in your same boat. I had a bunch of domains with Google because of the brand recognition, but this acquisition annoys me immensely and clearly it's off to a great start!
Some aspects of hierarchy-based power dynamics (i.e. bullying and abuse) have been captured into a relatively new, and unique Korean word, "Gapjil" (갑질).

Gapjil (Korean: 갑질) is an expression referring to an arrogant and authoritarian attitude or actions of people in South Korea who have positions of power over others. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapjil)

Gapjil is typically used to describe the abusive dynamics of one person above another in a hierarchy but has also been extended to describing the power abuse dynamics of large businesses interacting with smaller ones (e.g. small suppliers).

As you mentioned, Korean language and society reflects a "high-context" culture where language itself uses and encodes social hierarchy position through the use of "honorifics," speaking to or addressing to people above by their title/rank or "treatment."

"Over 80% of public perceive 'gapjil' problem as serious: survey" (2021)
https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20210113000769

The practice was made illegal in South Korea (2019) under its Labor Standard Act (LSA), but the effectiveness of that law has been scrutinized quite a bit, as many surveyed state it remains highly prevalent in the workplace:

Well it's not just indicative of that. It's also indicative of the lack of regulation for something that didn't exist previously. The shops could exist in a less-unpleasant way... just, nobody has forced them to yet. It's coming, though. Everyone is pissed.

(Also I remember reading an article somewhere about how smoke shops are an ideal "short-term tenant" for landlords. Basically they cost very little to set up and close, so they can get short-term leases while a landlord e.g. waits for a higher-rent client or for some macroeconomic winds to shift. No idea how true that is but it's floating around in my head from somewhere.)
No, the buyer is crying foul, not the seller. The buyer got a less-good deal than they would have.

The state, as seller, is changing the rules to protect the buyer, which is a bit weird...

This doesn't seem like a workable standard. How will Wyoming distinguish between conservation bidders and commercial bidders that simply choose not to produce for economic reasons? Meaning, what happens if the prices of oil and gas crash, causing a non-conservation bidder not to drill or pump on one of these parcels? Will the state compel them to produce and sell at a loss?

Imagine testing drunkenness and having a cohort drink water, how useless that would be as a placebo, as people would know immediately they have not been given the drug and are still feeling quite sober.

Commanding the armed forces is very much in his scope. Remember, the same decision said motives couldn't be considered in determining official vs. non-official act; the difference between "Trump is a national security threat the judicial system clearly can't handle" and "al-Awlaki is a national security threat the judicial system clearly can't handle" is the President's motive behind the strike.

I mean, maybe? Not long after news broke of Thomas accepting $4M+ in gifts, Snyder vs. United States said gratuities after an act don't count as bribes.
I can understand for the US where budgets have been slashed along with failures in specific policy like Common Core, but why is this also happening in other countries where there should be greater support systems? The Nordic countries falling behind USA is especially shocking, given their more homogeneous societies.
Show HN: TorchSubmit – Painless multi-node training with PyTorch (no SLURM/K8s)
After dealing with the pain of distributed pytorch model development & training across multiple companies, I decided to build a quick open source tool that hopefully will be helpful to some of y’all.

The Problem

Say you have an on-demand GPU cluster from a provider like Lambda labs. Single node GPU training is fairly painless– just SSH in, provision the node and run your code.

However, the moment you go multi-node, things get a bit trickier. Each node has to be provisioned to have the same dependencies and have access to the same code, and then you need some way of submitting and managing the job across all nodes.

The simple, painstaking way is to SSH into each node, configure and then run your code with `torchrun`. But, doing this over and over again while trying to rapidly develop is a huge PTA.

This is where SLURM or Ray is typically used to manage job submissions. But, setting up SLURM is time consuming and non-trivial (especially when dealing with Infiniband). If you have the cash to reserve a cluster for a year, this is not a problem. But, if you’re running on-demand with clusters of varying size. This quickly becomes painful.

Ray tries to solve this but if you’ve ever used it extensively, it’s ridden with bugs and highly sensitive to the underlying resources (shared memory) and host networking.

Enter TorchSubmit

TorchSubmit is a lightweight job submission & cluster management tool for submitting and managing distributed training jobs.

It handles two things:
Syncing your working directory to all the nodes in your cluster
Executing the job across the cluster with `torchrun` properly configured for multi-node (or single-node) distributed training.

It allows for rapid development with minimal configuration so you’re spending your time on training instead of dev ops.

Under the hood, it uses Fabric to connect to and manage nodes via SSH and `torchrun` to run fault-tolerant distributed training.

How to use

1. First, provision your cluster with your python dependencies. Personally, I use ansible to do this.
On your local machine run, `pip install torch-submit`

2. Create a cluster with `torch-submit cluster create`. This will interactively walk you through cluster setup. All you need to do is provide it each node’s public and private IP addresses (optional but recommended for inter-node communication), and the path to your SSH key.
Submit your first job with `torch-submit job submit – python train.py`

3. You’ll now see the job running under `torch-submit job list`

4. To see the logs from your job `torch-submit job logs –tail <job-id>`

Github project: https://github.com/dream3d-ai/torch-submit

Happy training and hope this helps!
This. I don't understand the objection and I spent 20 years writing C code. The reason to use strlcpy is not to _fix the bug_ but rather _to prevent the bug from turning into a crash, memory corruption, or exploit_. It also forces discipline by carrying around the length. As you say, it's also a drop-in.

A truncation bug is a hell of a lot easier to debug than memory corruption.

The Behavioural Dimension of Sensing
Yeah I wish there was a solution to that, even open source isn't a solution since it would be trivial for there to be a difference between what is running on the server and what is open source.

Ultimately you have to make a decision based on the companies actions and your own personal risk threshold with your own data.

In this particular case, we know that at the very least Google's track record on this is... basically non existent.

> But in the end, TC is no longer relevant... Here’s the saddest thing: it should be. Startups haven’t gone away. Any media startup could essentially recreate Arrington’s model and start selling little ads while profiling startups. Fun can be had poking holes in Valley blowhards, and there could be reams of content to be had by telling people how to be successful in startup land. But TC won’t do that anymore.

The author seems nostalgic for the good old days, when TechCrunch was a real news outlet that spoke truth to power, and so on. I guess I only ever remember it as a blog that was close enough to Silicon Valley to act as a hype lever, multiplying the force of hype for the latest Silicon Valley horseshit by broadcasting it to the world. The article confirms that was at least part of what they did, but I guess he believes they also did some good things. I wasn't ever a regular reader, and may have that wrong.
> Amazon says that it prohibits negative reviews that violate community guidelines, including by focusing on seller, order, or shipping feedback rather than on the item's quality.

I've always really disliked this policy, especially on items that are shipped by the seller instead of fulfilled from Amazon. Say you want to buy some of those Japanese Kit Kats that come in unusual flavors (at least to the American palate). Feedback that candy from Seller A arrived stale or melted and that candy from Seller B arrived in great shape would be helpful. I don't need yet more reviews of the product in the abstract, I need information about what condition it will be in when it arrives at my door, and seller practices can absolutely influence that.
> the buyer is crying foul, not the seller

The buyer called foul and the seller sympathised.

The new frameworks and tools are akin to screwdrivers with different handles. They accomplish the same thing in the end. You don't have to keep up with it out of necessity.
Any sufficiently smart person can accomplish the same original work as any other sufficiently smart person.

But when the details of these things are published or otherwise made openly available, it doesn't take nearly as many smarts to duplicate these accomplishments.

Quite often, that's good: It's easy for a dullard like me to build a circuit or to re-use some clever assembler code when someone else has published it for my own tinkering around the house. In this way, it's a pretty great world to live in; it is often very simple to stand on the shoulders of giants and get some things done that I could probably never do on my own.

But sometimes, that's bad: We don't live in a perfect world. Enemies exist. Things like ITAR can't prevent a sufficiently smart person from doing anything, but they do make it a lot harder for them to get started.

I live in Wyoming. The income inequality is massive. That turns environmentalism into a class signifier as much as a bona fide issue.
A couple observations:

> “So rather than wait for that to happen, we thought, ‘Well, let’s step in now and let’s put in place a bill that acts as a deterrent to doing that,” Petroleum Association of Wyoming President Pete Obermueller told WyoFile.

First, I know it is common practice for the language of bills to be written by industry groups, but I still think it's alarming, and annoying, that they're so open about having a direct channel to lawmakers that got this bill into law so quickly. I hardly think someone making an oil and gas company pay slightly more for a lease is the kind of work we want our legislators to prioritize.

Second, it just sounds like the kind of blatant protectionism that's often derided around here. If a lease has value to me remaining undeveloped, and it has value to them being developed, then shouldn't we be able to compete to see how much the market values those priorities? I think it's funny that they're afraid of a conservationist billionaire bidding on petroleum leases when there are probably way more petroleum billionaires who could bid if there was any sort of bidding war.

Heck, the lease was sold for $19/acre, something like $13,000, and the winner complained about the "inflated" price. I can't say that I know much about the startup costs for a drilling operation, but is $13,000 really a significant consideration?
Samsung is the only job interview I have walked out of. I was told "you'll basically have zero wlb for the first 2-3 years while we are getting this fab off the ground". I immediately said I was withdrawing my candidacy. I can't imagine what the floor workers jobs are like if that's how demanding the SWE side is.

It's especially soul-crushing when you think what the next Xnm process translates to in the real-world. Incrementally better performance for encoding cat videos or whatever. No thanks.
The constitution (Texas' and/or USA's) is (theoretically) the final authority. It's possible that many things don't have constitutional authorization for state regulation.
Amazon is really broken. (Yelp too for that matter.)

They don't force customers to update the product when the manufacturing or size of the products change. So you'll get a "buy it again!" but it's fundamentally not the product you purchased.

And a company can sell something "good" for a few months, and offer rewards / incentives to give good reviews, then use those reviews for the "old" product to sell a revised and "junk" version. Shrinkflation is so real.

Companies are free to use Prime to for delivery, but their own processes for returns. "Oh, I have to spend $56 to ship something using DHL over-night now because that's the only delivery method the seller accepts for returns? Uh..."

Making sure when you see a "Prime" logo, it also means Prime Returns -- like the drop off at Whole Foods style free returns policy.

Also... there's like no real way to talk to a human when you have a real issue with a seller.

Reviews seem... less than honest a lot of the time. Looking at pictures, it's often "old" versions of the product at this point. And there are a bunch of settings for reviews, so ratings could be on the "group of products" rather than the specific product you're ordering. Like, "Oh this is all tennis shoes we sell, not the shoes you ordered."

Anyway, some simple tools would really help... like giving consumers the ability to filter reviews based on when the reviews were created. "Only show me products with 100 reviews in the last week... then sort by customer review rating." Or, "For the rating, only count reviews from my country buyers from the last month." Stuff like that would be easy to do with the data they have, and would help reduce scammer-sellers.

Recently I bought a little sensor for my AC system... turns out I didn't need it, so I went to return it. I hadn't opened it. The seller told me I had literally 3 days to get it back to them... and told me that I had to send it a certain shipping method... and then when I did, they refused to give a refund because they said I had opened the box. For proof, they had opened the box and took a picture of the item open.

So I got to pay for the item, and pay $56 shipping, only to not get a refund. Amazon closed the case without ever letting me talk to a human. Shady.

I also think that capability based security is a good idea, and that proxy capabilities should also be possible. (This would include all I/O, including measuring time.)

But, how the UI is working with capability based security, is a separate issue (although I have some ideas).

(Furthermore, I also think that capability based security with proxy capabilities can solve some other problems as well (if the system is designed well), including some that are not directly related to security features. It can be used if you want to use programs to do some things that it was not directly designed to do; e.g. if a program is designed to receive audio directly from a microphone, you can instead add special effects in between by using other programs before a program receives the audio data, or use a file on the computer instead (which can be useful in case you do not have a microphone), etc. It can also be used for testing; e.g. to test that a program works correctly on February 29 even if the current date is not February 29, or if the program does have such a bug, to bypass it by telling that program (and only that program) that the date is not February 29; and you can make fault simulations, etc.)

Ask HN: Future of AI Hardware – GPUs vs. Groq and Beyond Transformers
Hey HN,

I have a few questions about the future landscape of AI hardware and architectures:

- Can GPU architectures eventually rival the speeds of Groq and similar specialized hardware? Is there a foreseeable future where GPU inference with hardware sub-systems (e.g. TPU) and/or algorithmic enhancements can match or surpass these speeds?

- Is there a post-Transformer AI world? Are there any new architectures or enhancements on the horizon? Which of these could continue the GPU dominance?

- Are approaches like Groq easy to optimize for future AI models?

Insights and thoughts appreciated!

In what way did the complaint blame the wrong party? I guess "the company" can be read in multiple ways, I read it as blaming Amazon:

> The diaper arrived used and was covered in poop stains. (See pics) Nothing could have been more disgusting!! I am assuming someone returned it after using it and the company simply did not check the item and then shipped it to us as if it was brand new. These were not small stains either. I was extremely grossed out. Thank god I saw the stains and didn’t put it on my baby! I will be returning this ASAP and I sure hope they check it out when they get it back but I wouldn’t be surprised if they just ship it to some other unsuspecting parent.
