People cannot borrow money from the central bank.

Also, the deflationary effects of high interest rates are not because it causes unemployment, but because it reduced the rate of increase of the money supply.

Of course, lowered money is recessionary, which leads to unemployment which puts downward pressure on wages; but wages aren't the reason for inflation - the increase in monetary mass is.
That's nice to hear again from Eiffel, it's been a long time since I tried it. Among other things, the design by contract is a cool feature. But as you said, there is not a lot of adoption.
This language deserves more attention than, let's say Odin for example. Even it is more an "academic language" like Haskell.

This is the entire point of existence for the GPL. Weaponize copyright. LLMs have conveniently been able to circumvent this somehow, and we have no answer for it.
This guy doesn't sound like he understands engineering (checks Wikipedia...ok dropped out of Stanford). Perhaps figure out how to not need the money and electricity from the entire planet first before embarking on plan to use same.
Easier to use libraries over highly complicated (supposedly performant) have a significant advantage in driving more adoption.

Recently I was trying to generate text embeddings from a huggingface model. Nvidia triton and text-embedding-inference (built by huggingface) were my two options.

> why large companies are generally incapable of delivering great developer experience.
I wanted to curl up and cry while trying to make nvidia-triton spit out embeddings . The error messages are cryptic and you need to have jedi like intuition to get it to work. I finally managed to get it work after like 2 days of wrangling with the extremely verbose and long-winded documentation (thanks in part to claude, helped me understand with better examples)

Triton's documentation starts off with core-principles and throughout the entire documentation, they have hyper links to other badly written documentation to ensure you know the core concepts. The only reason I had endured this was because of the supposed performance gains triton promised but underdelivered (this highly likely being I had missed some config/core-concept and did get all the juice)

On the other hand, text-embedding-inference has a two line front and centre command to pull the docker image and get running. The only delay was due to my internet speed before it started serving the embeddings. Then deploying this on our k8s infra was a breeze, minor modifications to the dockerfile and we are running. And on top, it's more performant than triton!
Did you read that original comment and wonder how Sam Altman and his crew broke into the commenter's home and made off with their hard drive? Probably not and so theft was a fine word choice. It communicated exactly what they wanted to communicate.
That and an excuse for people to get drunk. /s

I don’t know how HN views horse riding, but “no more horse racing” probably would have resulted in a lot less dead and injured horses, so maybe horse-racing should have died out.
This. Bonus: We must print. Shipping labels, things which require an actual signature. And so on. And sometimes I want just hang the paper on a wall. Maybe the next print says

“Dear macOS users. You’re vulnerable, too. Update now!”

Computers aren’t made to avoid printing. Their task is printing faster on more paper. At least this is what happened ^^
Not necessarily academic curiosity but curious to learn things and capable of critical thinking. I also think there are many 'educated idiots' so education isn't everything. There are a lot of educated people who are good at repeating complex-sounding catchphrases like parrots when promoted with the right questions; that's not intelligence.
I'm not arguing rust made the wrong decisions. I'm arguing the concequences of those decisions is hostile to C++ interoperability.
AI cannot build up a sufficient level of trust, especially if you are known in person by others who will vouch for you. That web of trust is hard to break with AI. And I am one of those.

Thankfully my semi-hoarding of digital media takes up no space aside from on my server's hard drives and organizing is easy and pleasant. I definitely feel the pull to add to the collection. It's a sort of joy.
Amazingly evil abuse of consumer trust, but this kind of thing will continue to get worse, not better. I’m building a Faraday cage to live in.
Not at all. To use your analogy, this is more like the person who plays and tries a reasonable amount but doesn't kill themselves by overdoing it or paying excessive amounts for specilized equiptment because they know they aren't making it to the professional level.

For me, there's no point in setting a professional goal. I just do my work and try to do a good job. On average, I've had a new manager about every 10 months. That's not a lot of time to build up rapport and work whatever angle that person sees s the path to the next level. I've literally gone from teams or managers that say X is a strength and Y is a weakness, to the new team or manager that says Y is a strength and X is a weakness. I've been a dev for over 12 years, and been midlevel for over 10. I've done all the stuff you're supposed to do to move up, not because I set them as goals but because it seemed like the right thing to do - learn new tech, volunteer for new roles and assignments, work extra hours, get a masters (since they pay for it), etc. I've had tech leads ask why I'm taking a demotion when I'm actually taking a lateral, because they already thought I was a senior. I've had our team and other teams in the enterprise calling me the TL because I fill that role for a year when we didn't have one (I did a good job and the manager admitted I deserved the highest rating but they couldn't get me the rating for political reasons... this is one of the 3 examples where a manager has admitted I should have gotten the highest ratingnor been promoted but wasn't).

So yeah, what's the point of a professional goals when the targets change in less than a year, I'm doing what I'm supposed to or doing a good job, and past results don't help with advancement? I guess I should mention that I have a disability and my current department head is targeting me, according to what my manager told me. So maybe that's what's holding me back. But I see no point in setting professional goals - I'd rather just focus on doing a good job. That should be enough, assuming you don't want to hit the C suite.

Yeah I know but I’m saying despite that Linux is more secure in practice. Most software is not distributed as some random VS code extension, but as FOSS projects and all the checks and balances of the distro maintainers. That’s who keeps you safe at night, and it works remarkably well.

Capability permission in all glory but it’s not a panacea. What happens in practice is that an app asks for permission to your bank account and eternal soul, and then users say “well, I guess I need to if I want this Instagram filter” and there you go. So it’s not as easy as retrofitting sandboxing onto the OS. Neither am I claiming it’s easy to solve. What I am saying is the App Store model is largely security theatre.
Kinda, because USB-C/Thunderbolt eGPUs like the Razer Core have noticeably less bandwidth than the same card installed on your motherboard.
Sure, whatever makes you feel smarter than the populace.
Tell me now, how do I join the resistance ? Hiding in the sewers I assume.

> which integrate with the Mac/Windows windowing system such that the application will look "native" by default on those systems

That's my point. You can make an app that looks okay on those OSes, but all of the built-in options for Linux look ridiculous, and then you're back to the third-party stuff.
I assumed it was suckless.org, so I appreciated the distinction
Scrolling through this thread, I feel like I am the only one who experienced a web page where the CSS gave me a blank rectangle on the left side, with all the content smushed narrowly to the right.
Those buffer overflows (should they exist) were not in the security bulletin. I personally give more weight to things that have been reported to exist than things that likely or probably exist.
a little bit of column a, a little bit of column b

factors are that international markets rely less on local cults of personality and just the financial, it’s also fair to say that TSMC is risk averse, most amusingly is that these personality cults work out fine if you throw enough money at them so I can’t fault this podcast bro for trying
You’re completely missing the point. We’re not talking about the art assets at all. This issue is that the text (about the source code, not about the art) is contradictory: First it says the code is “Public Domain”, but then it says the code “is for non-commerical use only”. But this is a contradiction. If the code is public domain, then you can’t impose any restrictions, which is what “for non-commerical use only” is.
but now the old code has less memory defects
I'm absolutely flabbergasted how much money and political capital is spent on vaporware, while there are very concrete and very impactful challenges we could be addressing instead.
Any modern Smart TV, I'd say that any of those made in the last 6 to 8 years. The feature is called ACR: "Automatic Content Recognition".

It's more a capability of the TV OS than the hardware model, although of course, more processing on the hardware gives you more ACR capabilities and it isn't usually listed on the device features.

Also, some of the brands have ACR under features named like "Samba TV" or "Live Plus", making it more difficult to find it on their setup menus.

There are sites that tell you how to deactivate ACR for different TV brands.

“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.”
I use it for simple tasks where spotting a mistake is easy. Like writing language binding for a REST API. It's a bunch of methods that look very similar, simple bodies. But it saves quite some work

Or getting keywords to read about from a field I know nothing about, like caching with zfs. Now I know what things to put in google to learn more to get to articles like this one

There's no accounting for taste, but keep in mind that all of these services are currently losing money, so how much would you actually be willing to pay for the service you're currently getting in order to let it break even? There was a report that Microsoft is losing $20 for every $10 spent on Copilot subscriptions, with heavy users costing them as much as $80 per month. Assuming you're one of those heavy users, would you pay >$80 a month for it?

Then there's chain-of-thought being positioned as the next big step forwards, which works by throwing more inferencing at the problem, so that cost can't be amortized over time like training can...
You seem to think marginal == zero. Which is the part that is confusing me.

I'm about to take delivery of a Toyota Sienna in Canada, and despite it being a minivan, it's a Toyota which are popular to steal right now. I plan to use both a steering wheel and accelerator pedal club. I've watched videos of both devices being rendered futile in less than 60 seconds but I hope that it will deter the less determined thieves. Then, after my kids have thoroughly destroyed the interior, I will hope that it gets stolen.
Indeed thank you

Its been known for years that some smart tvs do screen caps which is used for either ads or resold as data. So while I am sure there may be some use in anti-burn-in, we already know this is a revenue model for a number of the manufacturers.

This isn't at all kindness. This guy's perception of kindness (and love, etc.) is extremely flawed. He doesn't have to worry about other people because he is mentally ill. I'd have to read up on it more to figure out the exact kind, but this seems something in the region of BPD or schizophrenia. It's very possible that it's multiple diagnoses.
The issue is when people don't realize that CUPS is installed either because it happened by default or was accidentally brought in through some other transitive dependency. Ubuntu is especially vulnerable to dependency smuggling like that because recommended packages are installed by default.

Don't blame or anger at people for not knowing their stacks entirely. There's so much to keep track of that it's totally understandable that something like this can fall through the cracks.
There’s a lot of money to be made if you can reliable distinguish the two in advance.
Which is why OCuLink is gaining traction. Lenovo added hot swap capability and sells it under the name "TGX" in China but the compatibility is total both ways.

True. Linux machines don't read articles though, people do. Whether any randomly selected linux-using reader will have cups installed on a device they control is a very different question.

On a side note, I have wondered if LLMs work more effectively with code that is well-structured and easy for humans to read than they do with spaghetti. Has anybody researched this?
Most home offices are likely converted bedrooms. Those plugs, at least where I'm from, are likely to have 15A outlets, only.
That's essentially what many hands-on engineering managers or staff engineers do today. They spend significant portions of their day reviewing code from more junior team members.

Reviewing and modifying code is more engaging than typing out the solution that is fully formed in my head. If the AI creates something close to what I have in my head from the description I gave it, I can work with it to get it even closer. I can also hand-edit it.
The reason for them is reliability. Running everything closer to limits really limits reliability.

Aside from that, 1000W is very theoretical. You have some maximum on each rail. If you have 500W on the 12V rail max, and need 600W, it doesn't matter you have another 500W on the other rails. You're SOL.

Another reason is start-up surge. It's less of an issue without mechanical disks, but charging all those capacitors on power-on can really lead to badness.

And droop and ripple are also lower if you're not near the limit. Computers have things like audio cards, WiFi, and other analog parts which perform better with cheap power.

I always overspec PSUs.
Even the 250W 2080Ti (+150W Intel) is oppressive to be in the same room with during warmer months. I know it probably won't be, but it should be a hard sell in countries that don't have air conditioning as standard. Not to mention the noise needed to cool such heat

It's ironic that Sam Altman's background is in YC, because this is the opposite of startup thinking. Instead of scrappy disruption he seems to want massive investment upfront with only vague ideas of what the technology could be used for.
Entry nodes also run a big reputational risk. A number of list providers filter them. Many organisations want to prevent their users from accessing TOR to bypass filtering or exfiltrate data.
This tango NVIDIA is dancing will continue as long as ( local ) AI doesn't reach plateau where even most enthusiasts are happy with the AI model they have, because when it comes to games, other than a few streamers and rich kids, nobody will run to buy this, even AAA games are dying and the appetite for running them with the latest and greatest graphics has mostly disappeared ( given the cost ).

From a gaming perspective, technicality is not anything like the ending days of Voodoo cards, but somehow it reminds me of the same feeling.

I didn't find it contradictory. The first one is about how to start learning about something more easily and the second one about how to organize it all so that it's easier to use and understand as a whole. That may also help with getting started too.

I personally agree that examples are a very efficient way to get started and you can learn the details incrementally in a top-down fashion. Some text books during my studies took the bottom-up approach (even explicitly mentioned it) and I never quite liked it.

If the core concepts are simple and not too many, then it probably doesn't matter that much. The point is to get started easily.
Doesn't Microsoft have a decent amount of ownership in some aspect of OpenAI's labyrinthine structure?

Take Anthropic for a more legible example: Amazon and Google both gladly bought large stakes in it.
It's called investment. You need to spend money to make money. Their costs will certainly come down.
This is the same issue where poker companies used to advertise their play money sites and use the play money sites to link to separate real money sites. The loophole exists although it is certainly closeable.
I'm pretty Android doesn't use CUPS, and most people that use Android don't consider themselves Linux users. I think it's okay.
AMD's decision to back out of the high end cards seems even more logical given this information. High end may be trending too powerful. I used to buy the high end cards, but my next one will not be so. The cost and the power consumption are large factors in that decision. I do not need nor can I afford a super computer for gaming.
1) The costs will go down over time, much of the cost is the margin of NVIDIA and training new models

2) Absolutely. Thats like one hour of an engineer salary for a whole month.

If humans understand how computers work, then you just have to write code for computers and can ignore the human element.

Unfortunately the last few decades we decided that software engineers don't need to know how computers work anymore.
Some great grand ancestor of mine was a civil servant, a great achievement given his peasant background. The single skill that enabled it was the knowledge of calligraphy. He went to school and wrote nicely and that was sufficient.

The flip side was, calligraphy was sufficient evidence for both his education to whoever hired him, and for a recipient of a document, of its official nature. Calligraphy itself or course didn't make him efficient or smart or fair.

That's long gone of course, but we had similar heuristics. I am reminded of the Reddit story about an AI-generated mushroom atlas that had factual errors and lead to someone getting poisoned. We can no longer assume that a book is legit simply because it looks legit. The story of course is from reddit, so probably untrue, but it doesn't matter - it totally could be true.

LLMs are fantastic at breaking our heuristics as to what is and isn't legit, but not as good at being right.
Is there any reason to believe costs won’t come down with scale and hardware iteration, just like they did for everything else?

Short term pricing inefficiency is not relevant to long term impact.
I don't think there is appetite for this, in big tech especially. People are looking for glamorous next big things, everyone wants to be the first in some green field thing instead of digging into "the boring stuff we've been hearing about since forever". Imagine, even Apple completely enshittified their OSes just so they're on the bandwagon of AI with zero added value.
I can already pay $0 a month and use uncensored local models for both text and images.

Llama, Mixtral, Stable diffusion and Flux are a lot of fun and free to run locally, you should try them out.
wow that looks amazing, thanks!
I would pay hundreds of dollars per month for the combination of cursor and claude - I could not get my head around it when my beginner lever colleague said "I just coded this whole thing using cursor".

It was an entire web app, with search filters, tree based drag and drop GUIs, the backend api server, database migrations, auth and everything else.

Not once did he need to ask me a question. When I asked him "how long did this take" and expected him to say "a few weeks" (it would have taken me - a far more experienced engineer - 2 months minimum).

His answer was "a few days".

What I'm not saying is "AGI is close" but I've seen tangible evidence (only in the last 2 months), that my 20 year software engineering career is about to change and massively for the upside. Everyone is going to be so much more productive using these tools is how I see this.
You probably don’t ban Facebook as a whole but if they fail to crack down on gambling links that violate advertising laws or allow gambling companies to advertise in spite of those laws they probably face heavy fines from regulators.
