So how do you go from 0 experiments to 10000000 experiments without passing from 1 experiment?

Care to explain?

Perhaps if you're at 0 experiments you can't really have an opinion? Which is the situation of the person I replied to.

Great writeup, always interesting to see people digging into issues like that in such detail. I work at Google and shared the article with the Gboard team. Thanks!
we'll see how this goes but it feels more differentiated

Thanks! Even if this is only the enthusiast crowd, they're typically ahead of the curve, by a year or two, so Intel can't affort to ignore this. At some point the there will be less willingness from Dell/HP/Lenovo/Fujitsu to buy a subpar product.
Ask HN: Ever needed an API to generate web forms?
Hey all!

Together with my team we've been trying out various ideas in the form-building space (yes, very crowded we know). I've had a couple of random requests from users that wanted to have access to our form-builder backend. Essentially the use case would be to generate web forms by calling our API with a schema of the desired form. The design of the form components (buttons, input fields) would be handled by a designer in Figma or in our own graphical editor.

I'm looking for people to which that sounds interesting. I'm trying to figure out who would need this ... and why! Anybody here to which that sounds interesting ? Any and all thoughts/comments are welcome
Solar/wind is great if you have practically unlimited, life- and disaster-free deserts to capitalize. Sucks otherwise.

Which is probably why renewables are highly regarded in specifically Australia and US, but not nearly as much elsewhere; stripping vegetations off mountainsides and farmlands to install mega-solars is just man-made disaster, not a positive decarbonization effort.

It can be in places like in the middle of Australia, obviously.
IDK, but I appreciate the domain name being honest about the point of it all.
The code blocks are basically invisible until selected for me. I guess this is because I have a dark application theme set in my OS and the page was tested for light themes.
>Who can't behave like a good netizen deserves getting kicked off the Internet.

Impressive how much the left of today has in common with fascism from the past.

But pay attention, if stuff rotates 180 degrees "your side" is the one not behaving.
If there's a delay that will really confuse it though, either if your train isn't going at the speed the app expects or it stops at a point outside of a station
> The SNCF is for regional and national train (with the exception of the RER) where the possibility of having a cow coming on the rail is non-negligible ... or a hot air ballon landing on the rail and stopping the Nantes-Paris lines for a whole morning :D .

> So I think it is a much, much harder environment to automate. Paris do have some metro line that are fully automatic (line 1 at least) and both Rennes metro lines are fully automatic. It is much easier to control the environment around a metro and ensure that nothing can go on the rails, and have surveillance system to check if, if it does happen, it is detected ASAP.

Even the non-fully automatic lines use heavy automation (e.g. lines such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13).
> Or why no EU company came up with an OS that could fight Mac OS or Windows.

Because if you're making something in the US, you have immediate access to a market of 330m[1] people, and they all speak a single language, follow roughly similar laws and regulations, and have relatively similar needs (e.g. software made for schools in Arizona is pretty likely to work well for schools in Kansas, because things like the A-F grade system stay the same).

This rich market gives you plenty of opportunities to grow quickly. Once you grow large enough, you have pretty easy access to other large and rich markets that also speak English, and then you can get into the hard stuff like internationalization.

If you start out as an EU company, you only have access to the population of your own country, and you're not large enough to handle internationalization or the 30 slightly different systems of laws, regulations, agreements with retailers and different store chains etc. It's a lot harder for you to grow at first, because the potential pool of customers able to use your product is much smaller.

You have markets like China and India, which are technically better, but at least historically, they used to be poor enough that the US was a much better option in practice.

I don't think this is the only reason for US domination, but it's definitely one of the reasons.

[edit] [1[] the population was different back then, but the difference in scale was similar
> tax free days in the state

i'm sorry, tax free days?!? am i too european to understand this? does this apply to everything, like groceries, tech, flowers, wood etc., or just corporate transactions?
I always found it very simple to define: when a product has a market (i.e. a group of potential customers) that is willing to pay for it enough (cumulatively) to support a growing business.
True, what would be the GDP relevant figure for a company then? Value added?
Interestingly enough, the new "Orion" model by OpenAI doesnt outperform, and even sometimes underperforms in programing tasks, when compared to GPT-4.

Given that we know CO2 rates, can you tell me precisely what the average temperature will be next year? How many tons of CO2 equal one degree of temperature change?

What’s the effect of CO2 on forests and agricultural output?

My problem with the climate change agenda is that it’s reductionist: “CO2 bad.” Climate change activists never talk about the bad aspects of windmills. Or the bad aspects of battery mining. Or the bad aspects of buying things from China. Some random town will try to “save the climate” and put restrictions on people, while if that town were wiped off the map, it wouldn’t make a single thousandth of a degree of difference. It’s a bunch of virtue signaling that makes life far more expensive than it needs to be while having a zero measurable positive effect.

The mistake environmentalists have made is that they got mixed up with the Marxist/Communist far left who don’t actually care about the environment as much as they care about shifting control of the means of production. It’s about power, not temperature.
I don't follow PC hardware at all but recently I'm looking into replacing my 10 year old gaming PC and would normally just throw in an upper-mid range Intel CPU and be done with it

But with the recent failures of intel CPUs it's had me looking into AMDs to find the equivalent. I don't want to risk my investment not lasting because it just burns out over time.

(Also I like the fact that each generation doesn't have a new socket unlike intel)

London Undeground has high degree of automation (driver presses a button, train drives itself optimally to the next station).

Paris has the same, and also a number of lines (1, 4, 14, and soon 15) which have no driver at all.

NYC Subway is an outlier in how obsolete everything is.
The concept of product managers as "mini-CEOs" of their products is a compelling metaphor that highlights the extent of their responsibilities and influence. This article explores this analogy, its validity, and the practical implications it has on the role of product managers within an organization.
Land, land, land. There are no readily available, flat, unused land to put up all the solar panels in most developed countries, especially without massive environment consequences.

US is an exception to that, nowhere near the mean.
My approach for number 3 is to look at previous months and escrow money for it every month, and then pay it off once the bill comes due. From the accounting side you only see the monthly cost of the bill, even though it looks big on the bank statement.
Intel reminds me of a skyscraper demolition. At first, it barely falls, but then boy does it fall fast.

They kept missing market after market after market. It’s insane how many chances they had, and they blew them all.

Anyway, now they are a taxpayer’s problem, for the same reason that Boeing is.
Nil punning in Clojure gives you that kind of experience, for example. Things that would break in other languages, just "work as you'd expect them" in Clojure (except when you drop down to host primitives, and then nils don't behave nicely anymore). In general, it makes for a really pleasant dev experience, I find.
it wasn’t luck, it was very deliberately engineered for. The article does lack a good bit of context about the Netflix infra:

Who said snap your fingers? we are talking about investment. The US already has enough oil to last until all cars are replaced if that's your worry. The real problem is allowing oil companies to grow even further, putting the public's health and climate at even more risk. The logical (even liberal if you think on $$ terms) choice is to invest in renewable.

I love this! Every year in Sweden around christmas, almost all popular magazines publish articles for how to optimally book your vacation days. We have quite a few bank days between christmas and new years, so certain years you can get like 3 weeks off by booking 6 days or so.

This year it looks like you can achieve the following:
In december, take 23rd and 27th off and you get 9 days consecutive time off between 21st and 29th. Add 30th and 31st, and you'll get 12 days consecutive. Add 2nd and 3rd of January and tada, you have 17 days vacation for the price off 6 PTO days! The website linked in this post doesn't get this quite right, as 24th is technically not a public holiday but the vast portion of companies regard it as such.
Indeed the ICs job is to get the job done in whatever way that is productive, hence with a good speed/quality balance. It is not ICs responsibility to make their manager's job easy.

I've had good, mediocre and evil managers.

The good managers try to understand you as a person and empower you to make things happen, using your own talents and passion. They also hold you back when you are exploring rabbit holes or dead ends.

The evil ones manipulate, make you feel of less worth and tell you how to do things. That where the micromanagent creeps in.

As a manager you must understand that every IC has a personality and adapt accordingly. Nobody said being a good manager is easy.
I bought AirPods Pro this year and it has been disappointing compared to the first gen non pro I had previously.

Not sure why that should be clear?

It’s not about the “regulatory environment”, which is almost irrelevant when talking about China. What’s driving this is state-led development with clear goals, like reaching peak carbon by 2030, a claim which they can actually back up with developments like these.
They are doing the right thing by being against the baddies. And they are so strongly opposed to the baddies that they sometimes forget to question their own ideas and actions. Because, after all, they are against the baddies, so they must be good?

Energy return on investment is pure crankery. It's a meaningless number that has basically no impact on any decision.

And, if you take that crankery seriously, then renewables vastly outperform fossils and are speeding past nuclear on this metric too.

It's basically impossible for energy tech to come down in price by magnitudes and not have increasing EROI as energy inputs cost money. This is predicted to continue.

And despite this metric being great for renewables, you don't hear anyone crowing about it, because it's meaningless.
Wind has huge headaches.. bird deaths, littering the landscape with ugly windmills. Offshore wind farms also harm whales. The turbine blades end up in landfills.
A few years back I tried getting a related Gboard bug fixed and it was really frustrating getting the report to the right people. In the end, I did not manage it and what happened was after a long time the bug was fixed, probably due to some internal testing rather than the Gboard devs seeing my report :(

"Android 11 - Gboard not triggering Enter keypress event on <textarea> in Chrome when there are suggested words in the Gboard suggestion strip"

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40738692

The first frustration was getting push back from every place I tried reporting it - Android bug tracker, Chromium bug tracker,... and of course there is no public Gboard bug tracker, the only option is the "Send feedback" option in modern Android OS on Google devices that I'm sure gets lost somewhere.
While I do understand each of the mentioned bug trackers has its rules, I had to give it a try considering there is no other way to actually write a technical bug report and get any Google developer to notice it :(

My suggestion is that each Google product/app should have a public bug tracker of some type. A place where power users and developers can reach the corresponding Google teams more easily.

Yes, amplification is really apt and suitable analogy comparison.

Just treat the hallucinations as the non-linear distortion and harmonics phenomena that come from amplification process. You can just filter the unwanted signals and noises judiciously if you're well informed.

Taking this analogy further you need to have an appropriate and proper impedance matching to maximize the accuracy, and impedance matching source or load-pull (close-loop or open-loop) and for LLM it can be in the form of RAG for example.
Some dishes require more overlap, which will be tricky to write in this format.

I never "crapped" on the trades like you imagined I did, they are a perfectly fine career choice.
Must be in datacenter use, since they've still got a 70% majority [0] in home use and it's barely dropping at all. Maybe gamers are some specific outlier that prefers Intel specifically, but all I hear them talking about are the X3D processors so it doesn't make any sense.

I think lots of people still buy Intel because AMD now charges a notable premium for their understandably vastly better hardware.

Well, "private".

Every resident is required by law to have health insurance, if you can't afford it, the state will pay it for you.

Insurance companies cannot reject you. There's a limited list of personal characteristics they can use to discriminate on price (I think it's basically just where you live, and your age).

The list of required benefits covered by insurance is also prescribed by the state.

So it's socialized in the sense that "everybody is covered" but the implementation is very "private" i.e. competitive market, which is why I like it, yes.

Fun experiment but in reality people take vacation in the summer due to the season and schools, not because there are more public holidays then.

I sometimes get this feeling from open source projects too. They require you to be very specific and provide lots of info, understandably, but it zaps energy of the reporter. And then at the end turns out all was for naught, except that you learn you should have raised the issue in another repo or bugtracker. And worst is, when projects have the audacity to tell you to sign up to yet another forum service to report it to them. Nope. No energy left for that shit, maybe someone else will raise the issue then.

It has a lot to do with outside groups using the bureaucratic process to slow things down. A popular method is using what it's called environmental impact study. If an EIS identifies that some little field mouse might be harmed if the nuclear power plant is built, an outside organization can use that report to sue to stop the entire project. This tactic has been used countless times to stop everything from copper mining, to solar farms. Worse, still, if a group sues, and they win, the government picks up the tab. It's called environmental justice lawsuits, and they have utterly destroyed most Green projects in America.
I have spent a lot of time in Japan and some time in SK and I cautiously disagree.

In both countries I found English levels to vary widely based on which industry and location you were in. I think Korean society in general has higher English skills among younger people especially due to the number of Koreans that have spent significant time in the US. But among IT industries and top graduates I'm not sure there's a big difference.
(guessing) Stride length is a scalar, path is a vector? Inertial navigation systems suffer from a build up of the error. Perhaps it's not practical even if it's possible to calculate position based on those sensors alone
Side note, that's why I don't like that the Google plays services in Android have a permanent access to Physical Activity that can't be disabled.

Even without gps data, just having access to your phone accelerometer is enough to give a lot of data about your life. Cumulated with Google insanely big amount of data about wifi access point location, it means that they know where you are even without gps activated and how you got there.
Show HN: Knight's Graph – game based on the Knight's tour problem
When I was in high school, my dad showed me how to play Knight Tour on a piece of paper. Many years passed before I decided to create the Knight's Graph app.

“Knight's Graph” is an intellectual puzzle game based on the classic knight tour problem, known since the 18th century. Your task is to move the chess knight across the board so that each square is visited exactly once. Test your logical and strategic skills in an exciting game where every game is a new challenge!

The app is already available for download on the App Store. Google Play will be available a little later.
