Yes, but...

Don't all of these Agile methodologies predicate their success on having at least a decent proportion of really good people (including stakeholders!) in the team?
> The point being made is "methodology is bullshit," yet what is proposed is exactly that: a new methodology.

Nailed it. “Your heuristic is bullshit, here have a heuristic to know when.”

Ask HN: AI innovation outside big tech is over. Debate me
Alright, I know, the title is on the "click bait" side. But hear me out.

Researchers in the UK rely on High Performance Computing systems to do their work. If you combine the top 8 HPCs in the country, they amount to 1,000 GPUs altogether. For context Meta alone used 24,000 just to train one of its models (LLaMa). To make things worse, those HPCs are geting to the end of their life without plans for renewal.

With the growing size of AI models (both in vision and language) and the slow pace of hardware improvement, this is only going to get worse. Meta, xAI, OpenAI know this and they are hoarding resources (hundreds of thousands).

How are researchers, independent developers and AI/MML hobbyists going to compete in the space? Do we just submit to our techno-feudal lords and pay rent to access crumbs? Is it over?

Does anyone else care about this?

I'd love to hear people's views on this. Disclaimer: I am working on a solution and I am reaching out to the community to learn more. Check it out if you are interested: https://github.com/kalavai-net/kalavai-client
You seem well versed into that corner. Do you have a good (and reasonably complete) introduction/exploration for these memory-efficient data-structure for computation ?

I've been working on memory representation of algebraic data types quite a bit, and I've always wondered if we could combine them with succinct data-structures.

Maybe it would be more accurate to say agile is a way of doing things, not a way of managing people.
There are no packets on the user's API. But under the hood everything is sent in packets, numbered, ACK'ed and checksumed. The maximum packet size supported by IP is 64KB, as they say. I'm surprised the kernel supports that because I'm not aware of any real device that supports packets that big (Ethernet Jumbo Frames are only 9KB), but I guess it must.
I'm happy to see this write up. I have the same experience with this behavior and others, including the keyboard being (a) called when it shouldn't be and (b) vice-versa.
We do quite similar but through Debezium/Kafka CDC pipeline to clickhouse. This way primary database is protected. Directly querying from files from postgres might get slower eventually IMO compare.
"...in a Hail Mary attempt"

I'm curious how often others have experienced this. There have been so many times on many different projects where I've struggled with something hard and had the breakthrough only right before the deadline (self-imposed or actual deadline).

Congrats, sounds like an awesome project. I'll have to try it out.
What I really dislike about this article is that it uses of "Web" and "Internet" interchangeably. Both technologies have problems, but they are different. It also feels like deflecting the blame (possibly unintentionally) from Web (which is in a really bad state) towards Internet, that's kind of OK, not great not awful.

I.e. blaming the Internet for being one of the greatest polluters seems disingenuous, because... what if 90% of that pollution comes from Web? So, maybe the Internet works fine, but the Web needs fixing?

That’s why if you developed a dependence you don’t quit cold turkey.

This is why sovereign immunity needs to be rescinded: bad law should get politicians incarcerated for long periods of time and their assets stripped to help pay back the treasury for the piles of money it should be printing and handing its victims. It should also be legal to lie to police while they're barred from lying to you (again, at threat of incarceration). We are supposed to be sovereign, not them!
This is true.

I once read a comment, here, that said, "If the code quality on your MVP doesn't physically disgust you, you're probably focusing on code quality too much."

I think that sort of sums up the zeitgeist. I'm also not a fan of the MVP Model. I don't think it results in good work.
Furthermore, unlike in the United States, we pay a significant amount of taxes. Let's say you earn €5000 per month. From your monthly salary, you'll have deductions of 20% for income tax, 6.98% for mandatory health insurance, and 12.52% for government social insurance, totaling 39.5% in deductions, which leaves you with €3025. Additionally, for almost everything you buy, you'll pay a 21% VAT (Value Added Tax), reducing your effective spending power to €2390 (48% of what you earn!). There are also property taxes, but at the moment, they are relatively small, though there are plans to increase them significantly. Despite the average Lithuanian earning much less than the average American, we also pay more for energy. For example, petrol costs $5.83 per gallon and electricity is $0.30 per kWh, which is almost double!
Gitlab itself was kinda pain free, but having a bunch of dedicated local runners was a bit annoying in 2019ish. It mostly worked (with k3s) until it didn't.

Are there any climate believing republicans in the US? And are they powerful enough or enough in numbers to affect climate change action? (I doubt it and as such worry that this is a forgone conclusion)
If there is someone who wants to start a dog walking service, but they don't have the capital to do so, I can lend them the money with a promise from them to pay me a share of any revenue. My money goes to create a service that real people get benefit from (their dogs are walked) and they pay for that service with a medium of exchange that represents their own labour (fiat money).

I get something in return for my capital, and the world gets a valuable service.

Bitcoin does not offer that. The only return it offers is the hope that tomorrow some other people will pay me more to take my bitcoin, in the hope that some other people will pay them more the day after to take the bitcoin, with the hope that .... you get it.
This. If you have good people, it really doesn't matter what process you use. If you don't have good people, well, it really doesn't matter then, either...
We could compromise by turning up the liability for hitting someone with a car to eleven, making it unfeasible for anyone to even consider driving in a manner which threatens the life of another.

Of course, we'd have to implement unlimited liability for the self-driving car companies as to make them not hide behind their limited liability scheme to not treat safety with the utmost priority.

IMO it depends, did you find the warp zones yourself or were you told about them? They're hidden. Finding them by luck doesn't feel like cheating to me, but getting outside knowledge to bypass big parts of the game kind of does.

Hey HN! I’ve created an AI-powered tool designed to help you craft heartfelt, memorable wedding speeches with ease. Whether you're the best man, maid of honor, or a parent of the couple, this generator takes the stress out of finding the right words.

One cool use would be communication in space - where it's feasible that both sides would have access to high-end compute units but have a very limited bandwidth between each other.
> Go and ask people in African countries what it means to them.

Probably incredibly little. I have not in the slightest looked into it, but based on bitcoins properties, I'd guess that it doesn't suit 99.9% of Africa. They use cash and frequently use mobile phones for transferring cash etc.
Achieving five minutes of daily exercise is easier than dropping 60 lbs.
No, because hardly any companies would use github free, so I think the comparison isn't too bad.

The "no costs" is a wild argument to me though, because I've seen "we want it locally available" and "we can't put code in the cloud/"laws"" etc, but never "this is cheaper than a couple bucks per month"
Price is not everything. My company has Gitlab licenses as a part of a larger Microsoft enterprise agreement/partnership but we still pay for GitLab Ultimate and use that as a default for all developers.
You are correct, the situation is similar for most mobile processors. They are unavailable on the market for consumers looking to build a system.

Apple goes one step further though: M processors aren't just unavailable to consumers, there's also no way for OEMs to build systems using these chips. In this point they differ significantly from the examples you mentioned. For people that do not want to buy into the Apple ecosystem, M chips are effectively not on the market, and benchmark comparisons to desktop or server CPUs are meaningless.
This is a problem you solve not by sacrificing the lives of others, but instead by designing built environments not dependent on driving cars.

I wish someone had told me this: once you put muscle on your frame it tends to stick around.

If you bulk up and turn into Hercules over the course of a few years you can scale back your training volume dramatically and as long as you keep your diet right, you will continue to be a jacked and cut dude for many many years.

I'm sure this gets less true as you age but it seems to apply to me in my 40s.

Maintenance is just way easier than the initial buildup.

I discovered this pretty much on accident when I scaled back the volume and intensity of my own training and noticed... Huh would you look at that... Very little changed.

Like on some level, it would be harder to return to the state of roly poly schlub that I was once in, than to continue being the fairly fit person I am now. I just autopilot twice a week to the gym after work, zone out and listen to podcasts for an hour while doing some pretty moderate intensity lifts, and the body stays in pretty decent shape. I barely break a sweat now compared to the first year or two.
It does happen - sometimes get we unbiased journalism. Just not from 'professional' journalists.

In response to an article posted in the global news thread on reddit, someone who lives there and actually has local knowledge and context can click 'reply' and explain what's actually going on and contradict/correct what the clickbaity sensationalist mass media article contains.

For example, I live here, the government is passing trying to pass said law that they can't control the implementation of. It's also seen by some as a surveillance state move under the guise of "won't someone think of the children". Under the proposed rules, theoretically people < 16 won't even be allowed to text one another.

Totally agree with you.

But do we really need AI?
Will we really move the needle on reducing greenhouse gas emissions with advice like this…?

“Since the advent of the modern web, the ability to include embedded fonts and provide a more customized experience has seen their use explode. They aren't always the most performant option (which poses emissions hazards) and come with a few issues such as Flash Of Unstyled Content (FOUC) / Flash Of Unstyled Text (FOUT) which should be addressed.”

IMO, if we want reduced emissions, citizens in all countries need to tell our leaders/representatives that the monetary cost of polluting must increase, until emissions are drastically decreased – i.e. we must internalize these negative externalities. In the EU, we have the Emissions Trading System for this purpose.

If we don’t demand this from our leaders, how can we expect emissions to decrease?

I’m sure a group like the Sustainable Web Interest Group can come up with a bunch of nice ideas, but I’m not convinced they can solve climate change.

Sure, stuff like embedded fonts might possibly increase emissions. But if W3C are advicing against their usage, where’s the data that supports this guideline?

(A Pigouvian tax can be another alternative, but harder to implement in EU, since taxes here are collected on the nation-level.)
Floating point maths would be hard, and fitting the model in 64k would be a challenge - but paging could resolve that, or streaming/paging from disk if you assume something like CP/M.

Based. I hope they plaster this on billboards everywhere. Bring back the dotcom. I'm tired of seeing people advertise names and then hearing them whine that someone else advertises for the name on Google or that people search the app store and find some kind of wrapper.
That does raise the question of what those tech companies' motivation really are though.

The processes you described would work really well if the goal is to meet a hiring target and ship just enough product that marketing and sales can run with it.

If they don't necessarily care about quality of end product or quality of the engineering that went into, throwing heavy process at the team may get them there just fine. That heavy process may even work better for them if the goal is more managerial control to meet sales and marketing deadlines.
If you read the article, you'll see the knowledge of electrolytes to prevent dehydration was commonly know. The more difficult part was to get it in a form that is cheap enough and robust enough to be able to distribute in distant, hot parts of Indian subcontinent.

It is. That doesn't disallow mesh networks, but Gemini would be off-limits due to TLS. Gopher would be OK.
A good first step would be to impose liability for engineers designing roads which predictably leads to the deaths of its users.

I imagine a road-building engineer would think twice before approving a road with an unsafe design speed if it could lead to them being stripped of their license, fined or even jailed.

I mean, one could say no one ever writes a book, they just discover it, since that sequence of characters (like all other sequences) was already implicit in reality.

I think this points up the problem with what you're claiming. There is sufficient creativity to get to the exact sequence of characters (or exact configuration of elements for the invention) to distinguish invention (a kind of creation) from mere discovery.

In mathematics, though, we say a mathematician discovers a proof, even if the proof is very creative. So maybe it's not as clear as all that.

Maybe the problem is the nature of constraints around the innovation? If it's sufficiently constrained there's little room for creativity, and the word discovery is more appropriate, even if it was hard to find.

Like others here are saying, Kagi maps is so far behind that I wouldn't bother with any bug reports or feedback. I tried it just now, was panning around in a region in Europe, clicked the "Hotels" button to see what it would present and get sent to a town called Hotels in Palestina with a Wikipedia description of what a hotel is...

So the suggestion to slap a beta sticker over maps is a good one. Nokia, Microsoft and Apple have all tried to compete with Google Maps without succeeding. Do yourself a favour and start using the Google Maps API for Kagi Maps, that's probably the only way you can get all the important data. If the API is expensive, then charge more for maps. Kagi customers want the best product, and are willing to pay for it.

Wonder how many people "fell" for it though.

I remember, many years ago, that I got some Antihistamine tables with Pseudoephedrine to take in 'light' emergencies for my allergies, cat hair in my case. I wasn't going to fall over like other people but have trouble breathing and a runny nose, so every time I visited people with cats, I could take one and everything was fine. When they banned it and my supply was used up, I got something with Phenylephrine and it just did... nothing. Then 5min of online research told me just as much.
