I went 1700x -> 5700x on a lark, because it was really cheap.

I wasn't expecting much & wasn't sure why I was doing it (I do some occasional gaming but my rx580 is almost certainly the bottleneck). I was pleasantly surprised to find my computer noticeably snappier.

There are used 5800x's under $100 on eBay. I would absolutely recommend grabbing one of those. At $200+ (what I paid) it's nice & I was pleasantly surprised, but man, these things were already pretty fast!
>But death is probably not a concept a cat understands. They understand concepts like "absence" and "missing," but I doubt they know that things die.

Why are you so confident that cats can understand some concepts but not death, as a predator they kill animals, so do youy think that in their mind they think that after they kill an animal that animal is just sleeping and should wake up soon?

I am wondering what a cat that acknowledges a friend died or "is sleeping the long one" is thinking if they dream about them, is that confusing for them, dead cats comming to you in a dream.
This is good to see. For anyone who hasn't taken a Waymo yet, I highly recommend to go out of your way to give it a try. It's technology that's easy to talk about online, but has a different magnitude irl.
Considering the number of mice my cat has killed, I tend to disagree that they have no concept of death at all. The extent to which they "understand" it is open to debate for sure. But whenever my cat catches one, he deliberately leaves it alive for a while to play with until he gets bored, at which point he promptly cracks its skull between his teeth to finish it off and tries to eat it(I usually stop it if I can so he doesn't get parasites). There's certainly some concept there. Probably not the same concept we have, but it's there in some form.

They’re sure doing a bad job of that… providing us with pretty much the internet’s most extensive and highest quality documentation of html/css/JavaScript & web apis, providing us with a non-WebKit/blink engine (& the only major browser not using those)…
But have these cats inspected the corpse of the deceased owner? Also, it's pretty common for humans to expect their loved ones to return, at least for a while until the reality sets in. Certain situations (like returning from a trip or visiting a place where they used to be) can trigger it long after acceptance.
Everything comes in cycles, so the future will always echo (but not precisely repeat) the past.
We moralize about all sorts of important things like washing hands, putting rubbish in the bin etc.

Fashion benefits from morals - like the idea of showering daily benefits the cosmetics/body care industry. I have a relative in one of the big French companies who saw a huge drop-off in shampoo/bathing products during covid when people were working at home. If we all decided that fresh water was too precious to waste we might materially impact this person's business - so they are eager to convince everyone that it's morally right to wash umpteen times a day.

Similarly clothing is marketed and that marketing works on us.

Other than telling such people to f-off, how do we get out of the negative loop they are only too eager to drive us into?

What Apple stands to lose in landmark Google antitrust verdict
History of Philosophy
No, they just hate excessive head that is inappropriate to the beer. Some amount of head is essential to properly release the aroma of beer. A traditional cask ale is hand-pumped and served without additional gas, so it will tend to have a smaller head than a beer that has added gas. No more than 5% of the glass should be filled with head. Many pubs use glasses with a marked fill line, allowing for space for a head while still providing a full measure of liquid.

Northern drinkers traditionally prefer a thicker, creamier head and used beer pumps with a "sparkler" nozzle to provide this, while southern drinkers typically preferred very little head; this historic divide is starting to soften in recent years.

Some European beer styles are properly served with a bigger and frothier head, particularly wheat beers and pilsners.
Cats never cease to amaze me
> Is "musicians who don't even know the genre they'll use professionally yet" a valid market in the first place?

Genre is contextual. An instrument can “sound like” one genre solo / when highlighted, yet contribute an entirely different sound when submerged in the mix.

Modern country music uses “disco” instruments but not in a way that sounds like disco. A guzheng makes pretty much the same sound as a banjo, but nobody notices because the music the two instruments conventionally get used in doesn’t have much overlap (in play style, but also in terms of what other instruments are used together with them.) A fiddle is literally just a violin, but they’re used so differently that people call them different names (mostly because a “trained fiddler” knows a very different skill than a “trained violinist.”)

Also, there are music genres that just use “everything”, with musicians constantly looking for a new sound for every track they put out. Industrial and electro are both like this.

In short, there are plenty of professional musicians — especially live keyboardists — that already have a setup, but still hunt for new instruments/effects to achieve a new “sound”. (Normally that’s just through VST plugins, sure, but there’s also a thriving market for physical old analog synths that haven’t been digitally replicated yet — and this product is clearly intended to appeal to people used to buying in that market.)
Nooope! Services like stripe let you test the payment workflow in their test environment which works exactly like the production one but without the payments going outside Stripe.

Yes, that's what I'm describing happened with my cat. I never denied that, I provided relatively objective evidence that this is true, because the article suggests that people might overstate how their cats react to absence, which I do not believe to be true.
For most professional software, I agree. For hobby projects like this, I can certainly understand the appeal of asking users to compile it themselves rather than trying to provide binaries for all of the possible OS and hardware combinations in use today, most of which you might not even have access to for testing.

That said, certainly there does seem to be a weird glib assumption by some hobby/OSS projects that of course I already have the same developer ecosystem/toolchain installed on my system as they do - of course I have a Rust toolchain or can install dependencies with Homebrew or am using Linux with systemd/Wayland. This project at least kindly asks me to install Go first if I haven't already.

Otherwise, for solo founder to manage everything would become big and complex. Right? Or is there another way?
The point has nothing to do with Elon. It's just the correct way to analyze revenue graphs due to seasonality. Whether or not X is "collapsing" isn't obvious from the graphs either, and I made no such claim. We'd need to know other things that aren't public, and it's probably too early to tell anyway. But it's incorrect to say that revenue is growing. It's down quarterly YoY, which is the only real meaningful way to look at it.
Nope haven't worked on robotics (at all) so you may be right.

Can you provide more insight? We see things like the Boston dynamics robots that look cool but never seem to materialize in an actual product. My assumption is that while they can get those robots to do cool things, its hard to generalize and make it repeatable in an unknown environment.

Here is where I think Elon is trying to add NN so that the data from robots can be used to train and make it repeatable. This is why he considers Teslas experience with self driving to be a start.

Would love to know your thoughts!

It's not that. Cats and dogs are very different to us, but when you live with them, you might learn how nuanced and complex they can be.
I wondered how the webpage https://lo.cafe/notchnook managed to sell $100k in download. I mean one cannot even zoom in on the screenshot, there's no list of features. Then I saw the tool was reviewed on, for example https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/21/24202914/notchnook-mac-ap... recently. That might explain the sudden success. For a payment provider it must have looked unusual (their decision is still bad).

Seems like you are presenting a false choice. China has clearly stated its intention to compete and overtake the US as a core power. If the US is able to build and maintain strategic partnerships and military deterrence then that ascension of China would be less risky. I disagree with your whole premise of competition as “brutal suppression”. The most likely outcome of the trade war is that China will eventually have its own chip industries that are on par or more advanced then the US.
> But death is probably not a concept a cat understands.

This is anecdotally wrong (see below), but also doesn't make much sense on its face. Why would social animals not recognize death? A dead animal poses many dangers to a social group, so there is evolutionary pressure to recognize death. I also don't see a reason to assume that understanding death requires more intelligence than a cat has.

But aside from that, I'm anecdotally sure that cats understand death and grieve. I've seen a bonded cat search for their friend who died earlier, but the cat didn't yet know. Once the cat saw and smelled the others body, this searching stopped. They instead became lethargic for multiple weeks, in a human I'd have said depressed, and they looked for much more human contact than they had before (even when the two were separated for a couple of days).

If you're correct, why did the cat suddenly stop searching everywhere, when it didn't stop searching during previous separations? Why did it not try to "wake" their friend? Why did it eat less, play less, and search for more human affection in the following weeks, even though it never did so during previous separation?
Is there a workflow builder for AI
I am building a tool that anyone can use to try-on new things, and save them to the wardrobe, and then search where saved clothes can be bought online, also I want to add AI-powered assistant/stylist.

The workflow is:
1. Upload person image
2. Use SAM to get the segmentation mask for specific clothing
3. Use Stable Diffusion-like models with created mask to generate new clothing on the same person.

Question is - what can you use to easily host such workflow to be available via an API that I can use on my tool's frontend. I know that it is possible with ComfyUI but I want some alternatives that don't rely only on Stable Diffusion, so that instead I can use something like Dalle. Is there a "workflow builder" that can create production-ready APIs, not just a local tool?
Some of them are even within the borders of cities! See, for example, much of Queens, NY. Forest Hills is especially pretty. If you're not a New York, go back and watch the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies and marvel (ha) over the difference between where Aunt May lives and where Peter works.
I guess. I see my cats as a type of alien. I know they love me and want to be around me, but I also know that their experience and understanding of the world is very different from mine. They're not little furry humans.
Yeah, the title of this post is so odd. "Even dogs?" Of course dogs are included. Dogs and cats are often inseparable companions.
> Related - what can you expect in terms of credits if you're not part of YC? Whether going solo/bootstrapping or another incubator?

To follow up, in practice these credits are available for any VC-backed startup. (This is a business decision... they know you have financial means + appetite to spend big in the future.)

There are some credits available to any new startup, but much less.
It isn't just cats. Elephants mourn as do whales and dophins, dogs, cows, pigs, parrots and other birds, and apes (including humans) among others.

If one has any sort of biology background the silliness of these types of studies is clear. Humans are simply animals, there is nothing distinct about us aside from being further out on the distribution of cognitive ability.

It would be news if an advanced member of animalia didn't experience grief from the death of another. If an animal can enjoy the presence of another animal (as they clearly can) it should be assumed they can mourn their loss.

That could assume there was a linear realationship between price and demand.

Possibly if you need to charge x% more then your sales might drop off almost entirely as you raised your price to that level.
> "If we consider the typical lifecycle of a server, the highest costs arise from the moment when new hardware is purchased."

If that's the case, why aren't there more low budget hardware servers being offered? After all these years, there's Kimsufi by OVH but not much else.

There is a lot of very cheap hardware available these days that makes for a good small server to use as a mail server. Having a dedicated server for this purpose results in much better privacy.

I hope to see more low budget dedicated servers!

What is an editable DocUI?
We had a very similar experience when one of our two cats who had been together for many years died. The survivor was miserable to the point that we were worried about her. After a few months we adopted a kitten, and after a period of adjustment (lots of hissing at first), the old cat bonded with the new cat and seemed much happier.
They sold that off decades ago. The brand just hangs around
I think their ultimate goal is to essentially either eliminate or turn the type of organizations that do this type of organizing.

I think an overall perception and strategy of the right now is that many institutions in America support liberal outcomes and that in order to change that you have to attack these institutions.

So either get rid of GARM or take over GARM and change the standards of what safe media is.

Email platforms are actually two platforms, composition, and delivery.

In the before times, I helped build and was a lead engineer on a team building a delivery platform from scratch, with very minor composition bolted on. (For a time reference, this was before HTML email was even common.)

Some of the lessons from then are very relevant still today. A big one that comes to my mind is 'idempotent' email isn't really possible, because SMTP has no 'send iff message-id has not been received' primitive. You can get to try-send-only-until-2.5.0-code, but even that can be non-trivial engineering. We went to a rather large degree of effort to do that ourselves, since repeat emails are a terrible signal, but I think thats only a marginal benefit to the larger operators.

Idempotent delivery even isn't a direct benefit to advertisers or most sending actors: Primarily, for the majority of the market, they don't really care about duplicated deliveries below some statistical model, since the costs are heavily externalized. Secondarily, since those parts of the industry depend on out-of-band read-indicators, engineering to improve delivery idempotentcy doesn't reflect into a market advantage.

Email's gotten prettier in the two decades since then, but its quality at every point in the stack I think has gotten worse. I routinely have to firewall whole ASNs because the bigger bulk operators (salesforce marketing cloud im looking at you) have no functional mechanism to call out particularly spammy customers, and thats after aggressive greylisting. Sure, the greylisting cuts out >95% of my spam, but the noise level on that last 5% is still horrendous. Forwarding with headers to abuse@ should be a universal paradigm but thats 99% a noop these days.

Given the lesser upside and relative difficulty of the delivery problem, it seems only natural that most of the effort in email platforms these days is in composition. Even if you want to work on the delivery half, with IP reputation, aggressive antispam, and the general enshittification of all things email, the barrier to entry is orders of magnitude higher than it was in 2000. I don't want to say its impossible, but I think you'll have a bad time if you're trying to do it anywhere that doesnt have enough size/inertia or money that email receiving operators choose to negotiate with you rather than preemptively block you.
Google is playing catch-up in the LLM space. Before 2023 they did not spend anywhere near the resources and focus on it as OpenAI - who at that point had been building for 3+years already.
It is actually astounding how quickly and how many have caught up to OpenAI. But I would not expect Google advantages in data to become visible for another 2 to 5 years, if they are able to harness it at all.
I'd be more worried about early exits from loops in an iterator, e.g. if you had a .any() derived function, or short-circuiting logic in boolean operators with a lazily evaluated second parameter. A type system won't protect you from that.

Or maybe an early return and having an expensive destructor called as it goes out of phase with RAII

But that's what I'm pointing out in my original comment... Cats definitely experience love, they notice the absence of people or animals they love, and they react to it.

All I'm saying is that I don't think the word "grief" is the correct word in this context, because grief implies an understanding of the concept of death, which is a very human idea that we had to learn. We weren't born with this understanding, learning about death is something very upsetting that children have to go through.
> That being said context matters too, I still refer to loading a round into a gun's chamber as cocking a gun.

There are multiple meanings of the term, but depending on where you grow up, there may only be one in common use. When I grew up, there was only one meaning of the word, similar to ass, even though that had alternative meanings.

I was smeared and defamed here on HN for saying that Linux Gnome is a more beautiful looking GUI than MacOS. But I stand by it. Gnome is consistent and clear, while MacOS currently looks like a Linux knock-off of MacOS. But looks aside, Linux is an atrocious OS to actually use for professionals who are not developers.
No mention of byte alignment, am I just thinking too low level for optimisation?
Also density and speed. And precision.

This is a rare misfire from Quanta. No, there is no practical way to model anything non-trivial - especially not ML - with analog hardware of any kind.

Analog hardware just isn't practical for models of equivalent complexity. And even if it was practical, it wouldn't be any more energy efficient.

Whether it's wheels and pulleys or electric currents in capacitors and resistors, analog hardware has to do real work moving energy and mass around.

Modern digital models do an insane amount of work. But each step takes an almost infinitesimal amount of energy, and the amount of energy used for each operation has been decreasing steadily over time.

We worked with a payment processor to implement billing for our services via credit card. According to the payment processor, the QA environment for one of the major credit cards had been broken for a while, so we tested in production.

We were testing billing customers who were going to pay us, so putting a small charge on a corporate card that was going to come back to us wasn't a big deal, I just remember being slightly surprised that testing something like credit card payments was done against the production environment.

The notion that it is the UN and other such organisations that led to the period of (relative) peace in the 20th century post-WW2 is very far fetched.
I would bet instead on these five horsemen of the peace, in order:

- Mutually Assured Destruction risks

- No unmanageable effects of CO2-induced climate disruption

- Plenty of available oil to burn, with high EROEI

- Plentiful resources and enough growth all-round

- The UN and other such organisations
