I'm guessing that using some clip-on aero bars would make a big difference. Then you're not using your hands to support any weight so the typing would be a little easier.

And if you're doing hours of Z2 training, you likely want to be getting more time in a position closer to what you'd be doing in the drops.
That's a fair implementation of custom loss. Hugging Face's Trainer with transformers suggests a similar implementation, although their's has less boilerplate.

A current 3rd year college student here. I really want LLMs to help me in learning but the success rate is 0.

They often can not generate relatively trivial code When they do, they can not explain that code. For example, I was trying to learn socket programing in C. Claude generated the code, but when I stared asking about stuff, it regressed hard. Also, often the code is more complex than it needs to be. When learning a topic, I want that topic, not the most common relevant code with all the spagheti used on github.

For other subjects, like dbms, computer network, when asking about concepts, you better double check, because they still make stuff up. I asked ChatGPT to solve prev year question for dbms, and it gave a long, answer which looked good on surface. But when I actually read through because I need to understand what it is doing, there were glaring flaws. When I point them out, it makes other mistakes.

So, LLMs struggle to generate concise to the point code. They can not explain that code. They regularly make stuff up. This is after trying Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini with their paid versions in various capacities.

My bottom line is, I should NEVER use a LLM to learn. There is no fine line here. I have tried again and again because tech bros keep preaching about sparks of AGI, making startup with 0 coding skills. They are either fools or genius.

LLMs are useful strictly if you already know what you are doing. That's when your productivity gains are achieved.
I get ads in my youtube premium music. The support just said "yes".

I now pay for spotify so I don't get ads in music and still youtube premium for no ads in youtube documentaries. The second I start seeing regular ads I'll drop dropping them as fast as I can clickety click.

In a fury, I also managed to cancel all of our work google accounts. Only a few hundred but if enough do maybe someone at google might look up from their leetcode puzzle and listen to a customer.
I'd make a distinction on:

-the entropy of the data: a video is orders of magnitude than browsing metadata.

- the compute required: other than an ML algorithm optimizing for engagement, there's no computationally intensive business domain work (throughput related challenges dont count)

- finally programming complexity, in terms of business domain, is not there.

I mean my main argument is that a video provider is a simple business requirement. Sure you can make something simple at huge scale and that is a challenge. Granted.
If they just want to see the unedited version, it feels lazy to demand that CrunchyRoll track down and host the episode when (in the time it takes to read the petition) you can just do some Googling and find it. Right now anyone who wants to see it can track it down (and the Streisand Effect will ensure that remains the case) but it isn’t so easy to find that someone would stumble across it by accident. Why change that status quo?

This kind of feels like a troll petition, especially with that weird invocation of “we are paying good money each month for the services they provide”. People often tack that sentence on to something when it’s clear that what they’re asking for isn’t self-evidently necessary.

In addition to being a 3rd party app as someone suggested, you could make it a desktop app.

You could also make it a control plane and the customers run it in their cloud. You would need a tech savvy customer who already uses say AWS.

As far as I can tell, Turchin himself doesn't see this as a bad thing but part of a social-corrective element. That when elite overproduction happens, you start to get more of your Lenins, Luxembourgs, and Robbespierres, who have both the will and the wit take advantage of the instability in order to overthrow the social hierarchy under which they have been placed. That, in a society with ideal distribution of its production, these figures need not exist and would be better doing other things. But that their very existence is a symptom of wider systemic issues and they are the means of overcoming them.

Out of curiosity are the trades in Japan a higher end gig? Or similar to the US? In the US alot of trade jobs are low end and the people in them don't exactly take pride in their work whereas I've always had the impression Japanese folks have more of a focus on doing a craft, whatever it may be, well.

real open source does not imply any of that..

Real open source is any software with a license that obey the four freedoms..

1 - freedom to view the source
2 - freedom to use
3 - freedom to modify
4 - freedom to distribute your modified version

Bluesky use the MIT license that does comply with the freedoms above, so it is real open source..

Also, it use a open protocol as well.. so nothing is stopping you from deploying your own instance [1] and use their app to connect to it.. then you will have all your data freely accessible as you want..

> Seems like a fair carbon trade.

How do you come up with a ratio that you consider a fair trade?

I'm really not sure how I'd personally set a metric to decide it. I could go with the stat that one barrel of oil is equivalent to 25,000 hours of human labor. That means each barrel is worth 12.5 years of labor at 40 hours per week. That seems outrageous though - off hand I don't know how many barrels would be used during the flight but it would have to be replacing way more than several engineers working for several years.

Your video links to Intel CPUs doing remarkably poorly before the latest microcode update. Parent was presumably trying to determine if Intel has actually fixed (or at least mitigated) the problem, which your video (much as I love Gamers Nexus) doesn't really have an answer for.

The problem is that there's no consistency, and you end up paying the same price regardless of how much value the realtor provides. When I bought my current house, it was the second one I looked at, out of several listings that my partner and I found on Redfin ourselves.

Our realtor's expertise was useful when we were making an offer, and when dealing with financing and paperwork, but I don't think she provided $50k of value. If I were paying a fairly generous hourly rate for her time, she would have made less than $5k.

Sure, sometimes a buyer's agent spends 100 hours helping their clients, finding and showing property after property after property, and has to deal with tricky negotiations, and is maybe worth the 2.5% commission.

But I don't want to pay $50k for 10-15 hours of work; that's ridiculous. (And of course I was paying for the seller's agent's commission as well.)

Another house I was involved in buying was similar: second house we looked at, only one counter-offer needed.

If/when I buy again I will likely not use an agent. The new rules around not foisting the commissions onto the buyer will help too.

> If I ran a company, and I have, I would want the ability to require that people work at the office. (I didn't always require it; in fact, my last company was 100% remote for 21 years.) I wouldn't feel like I had to defend that policy to anyone.

This is tangential at best. It all depends on the original understanding of when an employee came on board.

If you hired someone with the understanding that it's a remote position and there is nothing that requires to be present in the office (e.g. lab work or doctor/nurse), then if you want them to suddenly come in, you do need to defend it.

Not doing so makes you an ass.

Oh that's very good to know, I stand corrected. I last moved late 2023 (Boston) and I was interested in market in a few cities around that times. It's always great to hear local governments can make progress for the people.

There's many cases where server side takes you 98% there, but it still makes economical sense to spend shitloads on getting that 2% there.

In this case it's not the same whether your server sends a 10 second packet and the viewer views all of it, and whether server sends a 10 second packet, but client pauses at the 5s mark (which needs client-side logic)

Might sound trivial, but at netflix scale there's guaranteed a developer dedicated to that, probably a team, and maybe even a department.

With all due respect, it sounds like you are not familiar with Bluesky.

As far as I know, the only proprietary code is the single Discover feed, which every user can un-pin from their feeds. My assumption for this being proprietary is so that it cannot be gamed. It could be for a darker reason, I suppose.

However, this is a feed that I use maybe 10% of the time. Aside from the Following feed, I have curated a bunch of my own user lists and 3rd party feeds. I am able to pin these to my feeds list. This is where I spend my time.

Aside from that one significant feed, yet small aspect, literally every other part of Bluesky is open source. This includes client, server, moderation system, and protocol.
Incredible username. And as a current math student, I agree with you completely, for the simple fact that I can do proofs far easier than I can do arithmetic. Students like me who are fine at math generally but who are not great at arithmetic in particular really suffer in our current environment that rejects the use of machine assistance.
I thought you paid for the premium content, like there wasn't a free ad-powered version of HBO I thought?

> This plus infinite gullibility is the only reason why they have a business model. They will keep making it worse and worse and still raising the price forever, and it's only because people keep handing them more money whenever they ask.

That's a separate argument, the assumption was that they will no longer give you that option, to pay for ad-free YouTube and I still don't see that happening.

But also yes obviously, eventually everyone who is willing to pay for premium is paying but they still have to make more profit so they going to raise prices indefinitely. Duh.
In the early days of android i had an app that had to do video transcoding yet often hit oom on startup (reported via telemetry) even when the phone should have enough memory. This was before android had any video transcoding built in (2.3 days).

The solution was to spawn a child process, use memory in a loop, catch the sigkill in the parent, yield to the os as it killed other processes to free memory in the device as a whole and then on return from sleep in the parent process after killing the child start the video transcoding.

Hopefully this hack is not needed but if you want android to proactively run its process killing job so your app starts with maximum free memory the above worked!
(I work at Netflix on these Datastores)

EVCache definitely has some sharp edges and can be hard to use, which is one of the reasons we are putting it behind these gRPC abstractions like this Counter one or e.g. KeyValue [1] which offer CompletableFuture APIs with clean async and blocking modalities. We are also starting to add proper async APIs to EVCache itself e.g. getAsync [2] which the abstractions are using under-the-hood.

At the same time, EVCache is the cheapest (by about 10x in our experiments) caching solution with global replication [3] and cache warming [4] we are aware of. Every time we've tried alternatives like Redis or managed services they either fail to scale (e.g. cannot leverage flash storage effectively [5]) or cost waaay too much at our scale.

I absolutely agree though EVCache is probably the wrong choice for most folks - most folks aren't doing 100 million operations / second with 4-region full-active replication and applications that expect p50 client-side latency <500us. Similar I think to how most folks should probably start with PostgreSQL and not Cassandra.

> Why would you care that you can't get the Italian app "storefront" because you're French?

Because you might be traveling in Italy and try to use some locally-developed Italian app while you're there, e.g. some municipal public transport app.

Or you might even move permanently to Italy while staying a French citizen (and having your Apple ID still registered as French).

> And if a developer makes something Italy-only, isn't that their choice?

I think the entire point is that, in the EU, it's not.

> unless the company has promised its shows to be safe for epileptics

Many jurisdictions have regulations requiring this. It’s also not a tough criteria to fulfill. Most of the things you need to avoid are pretty obvious, and the less obvious things can be caught by automated tools. The blowback for creating or hosting epilepsy-triggering content is pretty intense. It’s not something most companies want to play around with.

I don’t get why people want CrunchyRoll to host this content so bad. It feels like people demanding to be able to set off firecrackers on a wheelchair ramp. Sure it probably won’t hurt anyone most of the time, but why do people want this one specific thing so badly when they can get it somewhere else?
Whatever lecture this came from needs to get a reality check -- "downward price pressure" on rental units in most of the USA was slowly disappearing until the COVID-19 lockdown, at which time the prices increased dramatically, across the board, in all markets (except maybe the Ohio valley? Mississippi ?). Secondly, AirBnB gave reliable revenue streams to property owners, across the western world, keeping units empty. Third, local government has converged on artificial constraint of construction in many markets.
You are discussing a different point IMHO. The parent is focusing on the PR aspect of it.

Amazon gave ample justifications for their moves, even if they had no obligation to explain anything, as you point out. Given they put their reasoning on the table, it's fair game to question it and call bullshit.

> What's wrong with simply telling people they have to come in?

On this very specific point, and irrelevant to the thread, I see a company of the size of Amazon as having more social obligation than a startup selling rainbow headphones for instance. I don't know if their shareholders see it that way, and it is totally legal for Amazon to not give a shit. But that's what I'd see as "wrong", in a moral sense.

> My major gripe with hledger and other plaintext accounting systems: setting up the correct rules (regex for your expenses) takes too much time as it involves:
> a) defining the regexes/categories) for dozens to hundreds of expense descriptions (e.g. walmart, gas station xyz)

We don't usually do it all up front; it's easier to build up your rules over time, improving them a little each time you download.

> b) "recompiling" your hledger journals after every rule change

It's not required (see my other comment).

> c) checking for negative and positive errors (expense description was not matched OR too many different expenses were matched)

For the not matched case: hledger's fallback category is "expenses:unknown" (and inflows are "income:unknown").
I usually watch for those, with something like

watchexec -- 'hledger import *.csv --dry-run | tail +2 | hledger -f- -I print unknown'

and tweak rules until there are no unknowns, before importing.

For the other - I guess I have a similar answer - if you're not certain of your rules, preview the conversion and tweak them, before finalising it.

> This process is much faster in a spreadsheet application. IMHO the journal format of hledger and other plaintext accounts apps is too verbose.

You can keep your data in CSV/TSV instead of journal. This could be better for spreadsheet interop.

I think a more compact, but still readable journal format would be interesting (something between CSV and current journal format).

I agree some things are much easier in a spreadsheet (and also, vice versa).

> it would be a great relief if someone started a Github repository with expense texts used when you e.g. pay at Carrefour in Italy or Walmart in the USA with your debit card. People could submit those descriptions from the CSV exports of their bank accounts.

Please do, I would love to see it! However, wouldn't it be a really huge list of text patterns/regexps, with 0.1% of them useful to any one person ? Perhaps region-specific collections could work.

https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/examples... is hledger's collection of CSV rules; these cover the basics of CSV conversion, but not the expense categorising.

> Another annoyance in Europe is that there is no API connection for open source apps to bank account statements, you always rely on manual CSV exports.

Ha! It's not better in the US at least (except, by giving up your bank credentials to third parties). We are usually envying your APIs over there.
