The ubiquity of “AI understood as something that can do your job” is belied by the name itself. There is literally no reason to refer to LLMs or diffusion models as Artificial Intelligence other than to convince people of their capacity to… do your job.

This entire hype cycle is based around that concept. Billions of dollars have been invested in that idea. Every day consumers and investors are pitched an Artificial Intelligence that can do your job, and in order to keep the money flowing the purveyors of this software blur the line between today’s capabilities and some vague greater future capability.

If your contention is “my friends and I are completely immune to marketing and this means that everyone else is too” then I’ve got kind of bad news for you about both the world writ large and your particular corner of it.

I am not sure if you saw any of the several very public examples of people using these tools in exactly the way they’ve been pitched to, so I’ll link to my post above:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41440126

And again I still have no idea what you’re talking about re: agents and the publishing industry in general. The industry was able to work with a signal-to-noise ratio of [x] pre-AI and that means it should work with a ratio of ∞x because agents exist? This is like saying that because the human body has a liver and has processed 2-3 units of alcohol per hour for all of history that humans can survive on a diet of 1,000 units per hour.

I don’t mean to sound rude but “the influx of garbage has no impact” reasoning is indistinguishable from gibberish to me. It may as well be a cat typing out an equal number of letters by walking across a keyboard in terms of how it makes sense in the real world.
I imagine the issue was that in earlier WiFi versions, there weren't a lot of channels available. You basically got 2 or 3 (depending on which country you were in) non-interfering channels. The protocols also dealt with congestion less well, I think.

On a university campus, let's assume that at least one of those channels is taken by the campus WiFi, possibly more if they have separate networks for staff or whatever. At that point, you start getting a few dozen private networks running in the dorms, and the campus network(s) grind to a halt.
Once you saturate the air, it’s all done.
GPU would do transcoding, build network packet and copy data via PCI-E, all using hardware, avoid memory copy.

OBS+WebRTC is mostly software doing heavy-lifting.

Imagine if the camera would build WebRTC UDP packets directly and zero-copy to NIC, that would lower latency quite a bit.
TinyBase looks great, I wonder why it's not more popular?

I wonder, you as the author, what would you say the main drawbacks are of tinybase?
Reminder to everyone else, the President nominates agency heads, and the Senate confirms them

There are some agencies I don’t want democrats running, and some agencies I don’t want republicans running. There are many of us that vote based on some agency terms ending, weighed against other things.

In my experience, features that depend on 3rd party integrations, require a lot more support.

For some of those services it might not be profitable with there cheapest plans.

There certainly is price gauging from some vendors, but it's not unreasonable to charge a premium.

Ask HN: Am I responsible for activities others may do with service I provide?
Hi. For example, is Vercel "on the hook" if someone hosts illegal content using their free Vercel website? Probably not, as long as they obey the order to take it down, I guess.

But then how does that work, and how can I/some other nobody have that "protection" for a service that I provide and may be used for illegal stuff, e.g. file hosting, image enhancement, essentially anything allowing others to upload something!

Is it different between jurisdictions? Do I have to "register" somewhere, or I just need to provide some contact info?

Thanks

'In a first' over what, the past 150 years? Less than that?

The hysteria about 'climate change' - when almost all frames of reference are less than 1% of mankind's existence, a time span representing .0017% of the history of the planet - really tends to reflect badly on the progenitors of said hysteria.

Spoiler alert: the micro-climate everywhere is constantly changing and has been doing so for billions of years. Places get hotter, colder, drier, wetter, more arid, more humid, and any combination of those; some places become ocean, others desert. The earth's macro-climate is also constantly changing, with or without human inputs. A few billion years ago the planet was a ball of molten lava without an atmosphere. Humans were neither the cause of that, nor the reason the earth is no longer that way.

This sort of temporally short sighted thinking and the screeching that accompanies it really is peak collective narcissism.
Arizona is hot, no doubt about it, but the cliches about dry heat are true. I lived in Tempe for about five years. 100-110F there is pretty comfortable, so long as you can get some shade. Even 115F in the shade isn't completely overwhelming.

I also lived in the Cayman Islands for three years. 88F 88% humidity is far more uncomfortable than 110F 15% in Arizona.

The most uncomfortable places I've been are Southeast Asia and India. 95F 90% and I could barely breathe and came close to heat stroke a number of times.

Arizona summers are more tolerable to me than the tropics or the Gulf coast state summers.
I feel that this is true for my area as well. I think for now the installers are taking the savings from cheaper panels and increasing their profit. I think the only way to reap those savings would be to do a self installation but that is becoming harder with permits and such and this is okay because we need safe electricity. I am in Canada and we don't get the most optimal sun for solar. It is still worth it but takes I believe about 15 years to finally break even. So not a huge amount of people are installing it so there is not a huge competitive market. If panel prices fall enough other companies will start offering it at a cheaper price and that is when we will start to see benefits.
I don’t know where you live, but I can speak to how it works in Australia.

Your energy bill has a fixed daily rate to be connected to the grid. That pays for poles and wires, maintenance etc. To oversimplify a bit there’s also your cost per kWh to buy energy and to sell it. Someone using their own PV system during the day and buying from the grid at night isn’t “free riding” like you think. The connection is paid for by the fixed connection fee.
I grew up in Phoenix. Your house is AC, and your car is in a conditioned garage. You get out of the car and feel heat for as long as it takes to walk to the grocery store or the office. Maybe a few minutes a day, total.

Adults at least. Somehow my friends and I played basketball all day. Youth is something else.
> Yes. I prefer rule of law to rule of whatever-the-party-that-currently-controls-the-presidency-thinks-is-best.

It’s not much worse than the decision of whatever-party-got-to-appoint-a-judge-at-the-right-time. Seriously, considering the constant stream of bonkers ideological decision in various courts, including federal, who decide to ignore both law and precedent when it suits them, your faith seems to be misplaced. Rule of law works when you have a working judiciary. Unfortunately, that branch of the American government is not really in a much better state than the two others.

> Laws are more durable and can be counted on.

Common law is a gentleman’s agreement that courts will follow precedent. It broke down recently in several spectacular occasions, at which point no, laws cannot be counted on.

> Rule by expert sounds appealing until you realize that in the US that comes with an expiration date that is never further than 4 years out, with the results of a single nationwide election potentially triggering a complete rewrite of any and all administrative rules. You can't build anything durable on a system that fragile.

That’s an argument for an independent civil service, not for the end of agencies. A change in government should not mean a collapse of the administrative state or wide swings on technical policies. It’s not magic, both the UK and the US (among many others, but these two are easier to discuss from English sources) used to do it.

I've upgraded memory on every laptop I owned. In Serbia (and I assume other smaller markets) you can't just freely configure your laptop, you pick from a selection that was imported, and you typically have to make some kind of compromise between performance, display, keyboard, etc. Having option to upgrade RAM or disk increases your choices in other variables.

Last year I bought MacBook Air, and only options available immediatelly were 8/256, 8/512 and 16/256. Since I wanted more RAM and more SSD I had to wait 2 months for delivery.

Steam never prevent purchase independent from steam and in fact welcome it. I use paradox store but mostly launch their games from steam for convenience. Adding a new extension/game I haven't bought on steam, on steam is easy. Same for subscription services. If Apple did the same thing I wouldn't care about the app store.
Not all video drivers support Wayland. Try Debian and see if that works.
Not just that, but the person said they did ask the interviewer what kind of car it was and what it was used for, at which point any reasonable person would explain it was a toy!

That interview question is basically, "We lied about an imaginary situation and were disappointed you failed to accuse us of lying mid-job interview."
A small suggestion about resources: try using NixOS/Guix System instead of containers to deploy home services, you'll discover that in a fraction of resources you get much more, stability, documentation and easy replication included.

Containers now, like full-stack virtualization on x86 are and was advertisement stuff pushed because proprietary software vendors and cloud providers need them, other do not need them at all and devs who works for themselves and generic users should learn that: if you sell VPS et al. obviously you need them, if you made your own infra from bare metal adding them it's just wasting resources and add dependencies instead of simplify life.
If you run a company in a foreign country, then the laws of that country apply of course. Why should it be different just because they have scraped internet data containing images of Euroepeans? If that's legal in the home country of the business (as it would in, say, America) then its none of the EU's business.

Imagine the reverse, if China was fining European companies for not censoring CCP-offensive terms on the internet. Or America was fining them for dealing with US-blocklisted entities like Iran.
> 2- They would eventually return the device to you (unless guilty of some national security violation?)

"Eventually" is not good enough. People take things with them on their trips, because they expect to use these things while they are traveling/doing work at a remote location. Imagine you need to do some work on a remote site and you can't log in to your company's network, because the TSA has taken away your key so that they can inspect it.
i think it's very reasonable to describe time-shared basic systems like that as ides. the paradigmatic example of an 'ide' is probably turbo pascal 1.0, and of the features that separated turbo pascal from 'unintegrated' editor/compiler/assembler/linker/debugger setups, i think the dartmouth timesharing system falls mostly on the 'ide' side of the line. you could stop your program at any point and inspect its variables, change them, evaluate expressions, change the source code, and continue execution. runtime errors would also pop you into the interactive basic prompt where you could do all those things. i believe the hp 2000 timesharing basic had all these features, too

> much better GPU and NPU

I don't know about the Apple ecosystem, but have you seen ANYTHING using the NPU on PC? I have not. I own an AMD laptop with an NPU (Ryzen 9 8945HS) and the NPU has never seen a single percentage of utilization since the laptop was unboxed and put to use. And I actually have an interest in local AI, but all the stuff I use (like Ollama or ComfyUI) run on the GPU, even if they had support for the NPU (I do not think they do) I would not run that stuff on the NPU because it's just not competitive with the nvidia gpu that's also on my laptop.

To me, seeing intel and AMD include this sort of useless thing is anger inducing. I am paying for this. I want every inch of that silicon to be useful. Not detrimental waste of space, like the NPU.

Seeing "better NPU" in a sentence meant to market a CPU doesn't elicit positive emotions.

In the windows world, the one thing that might end up using an NPU is also the thing most people do not want: Windows Recall. And that feature, for now, is exclusive to Qualcomm ARM PCs, current x86-64 NPU owners can't get it.

Carroll's latest book "Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas in the Universe" is about all this quantum field theory, and I think it perfectly covers the gap between pop-sci and academic material for people with some math exposure.

While other authors just keep shy of equations and thus need to resort to simplified analogies, Carroll is not afraid of throwing a good share of math stuff and explaining the rationale from one equation to the other, while avoiding the really hard parts ("solving this equation tortures undergrad physics students for a year, but we won't be doing that")
>Why? Nothing in our Constitution requires precise laws.

Nothing in the Constitution requires vague laws either.

In the interests of curbing inevitable abuse of executive power, laws should only be as vague as absolutely required. In the interests of wider public comprehension, laws should be as precise as absolutely possible.

If a law is so vague that there are questions if the executive is overstepping its authority, it's the duty of the judiciary to stop that and of the legislature to rewrite the law more precisely.

>The Congress has the power of the purse and the power to enact laws. The President has the power to implement the laws and to spend the money.

And the Judicial Branch has the power to interpret the law, judge the Constitutionality of the law, and check the powers of the Legislature and the Executive.

The judiciary is doing its duty here. Put aside your personal biases and desires, because none of that matters here. Banning non-competes should be enacted by Congress and then executed by the White House withstanding challenges in the Courts.

The Executive Branch does not have the power to interpret the law.

Incidentally, the Executive Branch does not have the power to spend money either; it must spend money according exactly to budgets passed by Congress.
Another example program that reads argv[0] is Rustup, the version manager for Rust. Rust versions can be set per directory either as a machine-specific override or via a file. Rustup is symlinked to all the Rust commands like rustc and cargo, and when invoked as one of those commands, it checks what version it is supposed to be using, and then forwards to that version. I don't see how you'd do this without argv[0] (or a dozen slightly different pointlessly recompiled binaries).
It's different when you show something to someone with intent.

Thank you! When you say GPU with a recent video encoder, do you mean them separately (i.e. don't use software/cpu streaming; and use an efficient encoder), or do you mean use a GPU that supports recent encoders? I'm afraid my Intel HD 520 isn't particularly new and likely doesn't support modern encoders.
I was just looking for what "success" means to you. I don't know much about the proposition, so I don't know what it entails, or why you would define it as "successful".
I don't always have the same metrics of success as everyone else on the internet, and so finding out how people are measuring a successful program off of an internet comment is difficult.

The answer is the court rules that the FTC overstepped it's power. It's now back to congress to grant that power if that's truly what they wanted, or hell they could have written a better law in the past. Sloppy legislation should not be encouraged.

This is a cool result from a couple of famous database experts. Though, it seems that the only set of practical programs that satisfy the CALM property are set-based operations found in database systems. These are expressive, but not expressive enough to cover all possible computations. So, is it the case that all computations can be decomposed into a partial order of CALM programs each of which don’t need coordination except at the points of order. If so, is this approach analogous to Lamport’s CStructs in Generalized Consensus?
