My friend is a manager at a local business, so he's in control of the social media for that business. 100% of the social media posts of that business are written by AI. It's not obvious from their social media feeds either.
Yeah, for the routes I've flown over the last 5-10 years, significant numbers of empty seats are very much the exception rather than the rule, and it got worse post-covid.

> If all 250,000 Britons in the UAE returned to the UK in the next three months I would expect it to have no noticeable effect a year from now.

Those 250k Britons in the UAE are not state supported colonists, and so do not have the attitudes and culture of state supported colonists.

Edit: specifically the colonial attitude that the inhabitants of a colony exist as a natural resource to be exploited purely for the benefit of the colonists. This is now the attitude that exists throughout the UK state towards the inhabitants of the UK.
Text file seems fine for a smallish project, but not beyond that. It's just too difficult to keep track of various thoughts and references on each case as they move from concept to Production.

Switch to something more capable, like Trello (personally have used many systems and found nothing better than Asana). If you also keep the rest of your chores ("drop off dry cleaning") in there, you'll see benefits extending to the rest of your life and find this less onerous.

Bonus points: if you ever expand past working alone, you won't go insane.
It's how Amazon pays its fines. Amazon gives away free/heavily discounted cloud to government. It makes government dependent on Amazon, so Amazon won't go bankrupt. Pretty gross.
Unless you assume that self-driving software is perfect, no, it really isn't. That's the whole problem - the drivers would get complacent, so when there's an issue, they'd be caught by surprise and wouldn't be able to react.

I do agree, but I'm not sure people are actually thinking about the potential risks. Because it's easy to say "what risk can there possibly be?" but it's hard to actually answer that dismissive question.

Also, the if there is risk analysis it may be overly focused on the short term. I've worked with "here it is" kind of people... and had to deal with the messes they leave behind. Those people get praised in the moment at the expense of the future (some of those cases were actually recognized eventually and the people were let go).
What do you do there? And how would you know all this? I find it hard to believe this to be the case
From what I remember TypeScript was a superset of Javascript, so you could just rename your files and enable TypeScript and it all worked, and then gradually move stuff over. That probably helped a lot.

You make very legitimate point which I appreciate; I agree than in aggregate weather forecasting should be fairly reliable as regards sun and wind.

Question though... do we understand the tail risk from volcanos on solar outputs, either natural-occurring eruptions or maliciously-triggered ones?
See n2d4's comment but also AJV's JSONSchemaType

import { JSONSchemaType } from 'ajv'

It will bridge the JSON Schema and TypeScript types

We've found this useful too:

import { OpenAPIV3_1 as oa } from 'openapi-types'

export type Schema<T> = JSONSchemaType<T> & oa.SchemaObject

We validate that the type aligns with the schema and load the schema to validate all incoming requests

In these cases, the models are so small, and have to run on very limited CPU, that the training time is going to be fairly negligible. The top-listed program, nncp, is just 0.06b parameters! https://bellard.org/nncp/nncp_v2.pdf#page=4

> Unsaid is of course that the USA accused, found guilty, and executed someone without trial, where evidence is shown of their guilt. Sure on balance I think Bin Laden is responsible for 9/11, but I think the source for this belief is the US government.

The United States declared war on Al-Qaeda, and killed it's leader in response to an attack on 9/11 that leader claimed credit for. Domestic courts don't factor in here. Any country is lawfully allowed to kill enemy combatants or military leadership in a war.
The battery may have explosive inside (which I believe was the case in Lebanon), inspecting elements one by one may not be enough.

AFAICT there where (at least) two recent events where Torvalds had a chat with Hohndel.

II) Open Source Summit Europe (Vienna, 2024-09-16)

I.e. this post. This talk was also referred in an article from The Register, and that was posted on HN about 23 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41593275 (11 comments)

It also looks like the current post (i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41559404) was originally submitted four days ago, and then reached the front page today via HN’s second-chance pool[0].

(This talk from Open Source Summit Europe has been submitted a bunch of times, but some of the submissions yielded very few comments.)

Once an airline schedules a flight, each additional passenger is 0 marginal cost.

Besides the people who have high status with an airline are usually price insensitive business travelers.

The people who aren’t penny pinching customers who do fly often on their own dime are either going to pay for business class or first class seats or are going to get auto upgrades for free once they book. At least that’s how it works on Delta.

They surely aren’t going to sully themselves by sitting in the “cattle class”.

For instance, Delta releases cheap economy seats to their partners like Virgin and KLM. I routinely book short flights between MCO (Orlando - current home) and ATL (former home) all of the time for 5500 points via KLM/AirFrance to fly Delta (cash price $230 one way) and to see my parents in small town south GA (MCO - ATL - ABY) for 8500 points (cash price one way $358).

The tickets that Delta releases to partners are the least desirable times and they take away even tho use three weeks before the flight because they can jack up prices.

As an example, there are at least 15 flights a day between MCO and ATL on Delta. Three of those flights may be available on KLM or Virgin

I'd say that isn't true. The Linux version number is somewhat arbitrary, and does not denote incompatibility. And from the view of userspace, the Linux ABI is rather backwards compatible.

Also, WSL1 and some BSDs are examples of Linux compatibility.
All you have to do is tell me how you are harmed by your email sold for marketing by a hotel room. The flashlight thing sounds like a bad actor that doesn’t have anything to do with anyone’s opinions about privacy, and it doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with Meta or YouTube. I’d be most interested in naming a specific harm in something that their app telemetry does.
I hear ya. If someone with skin a different shade than mine says they’d prefer not to talk to the police, I’m not going to argue.

About 10-15 years ago when everyone got cameras was when it changed in my mind from something you heard about too often, but randomly, to seemingly every freaking day with hard evidence to prove it.

I know it’s been going on a lot longer than 10 years. I think it’s kind of like rogue waves. The people involved had been telling stories forever about the things they’d seen. Now that we have recordings everywhere, what do you know, rogue waves all over the place. And people who’d experienced them are like, yeah, we’ve been trying to tell you for ages.

The point of the contest was not compression tech for communication and storage. It was a belief that minimizing log loss on large corpora (i.e. message length) was key to AI progress. That should remind you of some pretty hot more-recent developments.

Same way we decided on the accredited investor thing or how we decide on informed consent. You can self-assert and lose protection to get freedom. And of course you must be literate etc. We don’t need to invent new things. We can just use the existing technology we have.
There are fine tuned models out there that can generate near photo-realistic results. The base SD models and those offered by the major AI service sites have a more stylized look to them. Probably partially to work on a wider array of prompts that may include non photorealistic subjects, and partially for safety.

Oh, so if I want to add a simple checkbox boolean field on a model on a proper best practices Clean Code Uncle Bob-approved code base in 2024, I have to:

- add it in the database model

- make a database migration for the field

- add it in the DTO for the API because we don't want to couple our persistence layer to our business logic or something

- add it to gRPC/Protobuf models so other services can call it

- add it to the new TypeSpec model thing

- update tests of all of the above

I love in tech 2024, it's full of people who talk about "DRY" who force you to repeat the same things over and over again, and this is "clean code", and if you don't like it, fuck you, you aren't a "culture fit". Utterly batshit insane.

Spain also has a hugely different energy market than the United States. Spain is around 5% of the size of the US, being closer to a state in our context. Different states have different climates, making them more aligned with different energy sources. It doesn't make sense to compare the US and Spain in this context.

> We are at 20% nuclear,

Doesn't this prove the parent comment's point, that the best mix of energy is renewables supplemented by a base of nuclear power?

> Get down your "education" horse and solve your own problems first, asuming you are from the USA

This feels unnecessary. Spain has done an amazing job building an energy base, let's talk about how we can export to different countries and climates instead of putting people down.

> not slow and no unsafe hyper-mileing maneuvers

Which hyper-mileing maneuvers are unsafe other than going too slow? I assume there are some or else you wouldn't need to mention it following "not slow."

Personally, I sometimes try to use just the right amount of fuel on an uphill such that once I crest the hill, I can maximize the duration/distance that I'm in complete overrun (fuel cut) before my speed drifts too far from the speed limit, and then I correct my speed at that point. Coasting to even lower speeds would improve MPG, but unsafe when followed, so I definitely avoid that. Cresting the hill well below the speed limit, knowing that the downhill will swiftly correct for that, isn't too risky in most situations.
Well, the point of this thread is that's only true until a sufficient level of availability is required, and then nuclear (and fossil thermal plants) all of a sudden become a viable option again.
Most folks eat microwaved food. Not cooking, just heating precooked meals.

The original paper [0] this article is based on raises a few questions for me. It compares the authors' new technique against StableDiffusion but fails to specify which version of SD they're using for that comparison. It doesn't mention how example outputs were chosen (were they cherry-picked?). For non-square images, they seem to have specifically chosen resolutions that the other models weren't trained to output (e.g., 384 x 512) without also including ones that they were trained on (e.g., 896 x 1152). I wonder how this new technique would compare with all of that accounted for.

Those flyers don’t care. Most frequent flyers are using other people’s money (business travelers) or are not price conscience.

We don’t even compare prices for domestic flights and we fly a lot on our own dime (15x-20x+ a year since mid 2021). We instinctively just book Delta where we have status and lounge access.
this video made my day, thanks for posting it
True. However the future may be different if the government doesn’t make changes. It’s easier and cheaper to now hire off-shore devs than Americans. There goes your pay raises and jobs or competitive salaries.
Tbf, if you assume humans have agency, there’s plenty of people who would claim you’re making the same mistake because the reductionist view is that people are just either deterministic chemical soup (or maybe with a bit of randomness baked in).
I worked for a Japanese company that employed some of the top engineers and scientists in the world.

The Japanese don't really like yelling and screaming, but I have watched managers reduce subordinates to tears, with a few firm words (literally).

Also, some of these top-shelf engineers could be "pithy." They didn't suffer fools, and had the attitude that if you were working directly with them, it was assumed that you were at a level that would not interfere with their work (like having to constantly stop and explain stuff).

Their end-product was really good, but it took a very strident culture to get there.

I assume that the Linux Kernel is just such a product. I can certainly understand the stress on making sure that anything that goes in there, needs to be absolutely top-notch. Not just in code Quality, but also in the mindset of the people submitting it.

I will also say that, if we want top be top performers, ourselves, we need to be willing to be in situations, where we could be yelled at, told our work is shite, etc.

It would be nice, if we were gentler than those than go before us, but this type of thing tends to self-regulate. If a top performer is so toxic that no one can work with them, they can get shown the door. That was not always the case, but I think it is increasingly so, these days.

But that doesn't mean that top performers are required to coddle; maybe just not outright abuse.

On a somewhat related note, I've been enjoying watching Slow Horses, and the Jackson Lamb character brings back memories.
Because that's the model that works best, and in-fact that is THE one feature that is different from all other similar products in this market.

In the US southwest, it's not the distance, it's the very small numbers of people who are moving around that is the problem.
Well... I own a small, self-made (legally here, France) domestic p.v. with small storage (5kWp/8kWh LFP). The storage is just a very expensive backup able to keep the home when I do not need heating from one sunny day to another, able just to keep few hours with minimum heating.

I regret I've not chosen back than a 10kWp/24kWh to being able to go from a day to another with heating, reaching hours where eventually I can power up an ICE generator to recharge because well... It's exactly in winter that I need heating, where there is the littlest Sun and when grid-disruptive storms likely happen (NOT happened so far for more than little time, but still...). At current Chinese prices it's sensible. At current local price it's not even for self-made solutions, it's totally fool for ready-made solutions by a local pro. To give some numbers my system was 11.500€ 4 years ago. The cheapest professionally made one similar but INFERIOR to mine was ~30.000€, the most expensive ~50k.

Long story short, I do not know in the US, but a current southern/center EU prices p.v. is not an economically sound choice if not self made, there is simply way too much speculation, like on EVs, where the same Chinese imported EV in Thailand costs less than 9k€ while the same vehicle cost a bit less than 40k here (eg. https://asia.nikkei.com/content/1f9ed40b4b44745e1a39fafaf94b... to have the Thailand price in BTH and USD).

At this rates there is no new deal.

About underestimating... Well... We have no seasonal storage. So we can't run a grid with p.v. apart of anything else. We can't even run a home with p.v. only, simply because OR we use something else to heat and recharge EVs or we need the size of the home itself of panels and storage, witch could last theoretically 10 years. So personally in a new home with an EV I produce around 50% of my energy needs and I'm in the southern Alps at 1030 so a very good place for p.v.

We should do much more, of course, but the dream of a renewable only grid is still a dream, possible in some areas of the world, like Norway with mountain hydro, nearly possible in some others, like Swiss but definitively not possible on scale. Beside that remember a thing: a modern home consume 1/7-1/10 of a "classic" one, thanks to mere design and insulation. We could converge to electricity with new homes ONLY on scale, we cannot with classic ones. We could converge to electricity on scale for cars if we mandate WFH for all eligible jobs, not without that.

That's to say is a MUST understanding what we need to implement the new deal, because what we need it the opposite of what big corps want.
You said it yourself: "rude customers." You can send back food if there's a good enough reason, but no matter how good the reason, you can never be a dick about it.
You can explain it, but it’s just not something I resonate with at all.

I can’t imagine getting angry or frustrated at any products I use.

That just seems way too insignificant to become angry over. And also unproductive as becoming angry or frustrated won’t change it or benefit me in any way. That’s my opinion and feeling at least.

I guess this means I don’t “run on emotions”? I feel that I have emotions but I feel I’m generally able to choose when and what emotions I feel. To me that seems normal as it’s always been that way for me.
I miss the ~X99 era of HEDT where the price to go from the consumer Z77 class stuff in the article to the "workstation" class was very minimal. The low end "Xeon" processors were had all with the consumer Haswell models had, including single core performance and relative price equivalence, but you got 4 memory channels, the ability to drive massive amounts of memory, ECC support, and 40 PCIe lanes from the CPU.

Nowadays if you want to buy HEDT you either get a very fast version of the consumer part which is still extremely lane limited (limiting the usefulness of features like bifurcation), still has 2 memory channels, has the same memory capacity limits as that 10 year old X99 platform, and may or may not have usable ECC support (depending on the particular board and/or platform chipset options for that year) OR you can spend way more to get a CPU which is worse performing unless you need 32+ cores (and the even higher cost associated with that) but at least the platform has all that original HEDT capability.

The 1st generation of Threadripper was a bit like that too, albeit AMDs CPUs weren't the top performers of the day when that came out and they've since gone up accordingly.
The market was flooded with people. Companies are just trimming.
