> I genuinely can't think of one impressive thing Google has done in the last 15 years.

I find that hard to fathom. I think what you meant to say is "an impressive right that actually got made into a b2c product".

Otherwise you'd have to ignore that they kinda pioneered llms, until OpenAI poached their tech, polished into a (for a consumer) breathtakingly functional "AI"

They also kept researching self driving via weymo etc

On the business side they've also made a significant mark on the programming world via k8s, golang and angular2 among other things

But I'd completely agree with the sentiment that they completely dropped the ball wrt their original target demographic. Beyond the improvements to android, I can't really think of anything since 2010 either that really improved things.
This is exactly where I’m at with my CS career. I am tired of abstraction. I want to be able to strip it away and work at the lowest levels of the stack. I’ve worked in embedded real-time environments before and found working with the system constraints to be highly rewarding. Yes there are tools that can write and test code for us now, but it’s also true that someone still has to build the low level high performance stuff.

What opportunity do you see in the realm of atoms?
I've never heard of this and don't know what HW3 is, yet I will still speculate that the plan is

"If that turns out to be the case, we will upgrade those who bought HW3 FSD for free. And we have designed the system to be upgradable."

which is what it says in the link you provided.
this isn’t the same.

> If you copied an art piece using photoshop, you would've violated copyright. Photoshop (and adobe) itself never committed copyright violations.

the COPYing is happening on your local machine with non-cloud versions of Photoshop.

you are making a copy, using a tool, and then distributing that copy.

in music royalty terms, the making a copy is the Mechanical right, while distributing the copy is the Performing right.

and you are liable in this case.

> Somehow, if you swap photoshop with openAI and chatGPT, then people claim that the actual application itself is a copyright violation

OpenAI make a copy of the original works to create training data.

when the original works are reproduced verbatim (memorisation in LLMs is a thing), then that is the copyrighted work being distributed.

mechanical and performing rights, again.

but the twist is that ChatGPT does the copying on their servers and delivers it to your device.

they are creating a new copy and distributing that copy.

which makes them liable.

—

you are right that “ChatGPT” is just a tool.

however, the interesting legal grey area with this is — are ChatGPT model weights an encoded copy of the copyrighted works?

that’s where the conversation about the tool itself being a copyright violation comes in.

photoshop provides no mechanism to recite The Art Of War out of the box. an LLM could be trained to do so (like, it’s a hypothetical example but hopefully you get the point).
Uh, I don't think I've ever really used my real identity online. So I guess every account would be 'fake' under these criteria? Huh, I just find it baffling how few people seem to care the slightest bit about their 'privacy' (or keeping the internet profile separate from their real life one), and how willing they are to just share all their personal info with the world for free.

I'm also very skeptical that the Australian authorities will be able to police this at all, since well... what incentive does the rest of the world have to care? They're not gonna try and block every site that doesn't authenticate their users, and many sites simply won't have a presence on Australian soil. So we'll probably see a huge flood of anonymous and pseudononymous social media platforms anyway.
As CTO coach, yes ;-)
No the first time for Tesla.

If people don’t learn it’s on them.

Same with Trump.
Musk has said HW3 owners will get free upgrades. It’s easy to replace the hardware and cameras.
Why do you do this?

While I can appreciate the technical achievement, you know most users of forums and imageboards don’t want any AI content at all.

This sounds like one cannot take a trip anywhere without a human driver.
This paper totally ignores the human aspect of sleeping, there is a habit to it.

If we were able to be awake 20 hours a day we may still be miserable because of factors like the sun being down for ane even longer time while we’re awake.

I feel like this is one of those inane pursuits for productivity where that doesn’t fit at all, at least not for the thinking jobs.
Maybe in a dystopia big companies like amazon would use inventions like this to be able to let their employees work 20 hour work days or something.

Of course this shouldn’t discredit the linked article of being interesting or anything, just sharing my thoughts on the endless pursuit of productivity.
Super valuable advice. The program I’m considering has VLSI design, chip architecture, and FPGA work all at the graduate level. I don’t know if the school has fabs but it’s seemingly well known and well funded so maybe?

As a part of this degree I’ve also selected coursework that is more related to CS. I’m looking at a compilers class, OS class, and neural networks as well.

With a focus on FPGA do you think that’s broadly applicable and evenly distributed geographically? I am prepared to move for certain industries, like working in space technology
> there should be a coherent DEFAULTS story.

I see the appeal to someone who is new and shows up with an intention like "idk, just give me the internet lol". That's a perfectly fine and overwhelmingly common way to use a computer. I think even a mainstream distro that's offering a KDE desktop should do that.

For the KDE project itself though it's always put a lot of store in offering lots and lots of choice (maybe the main ideological difference with Gnome). Of course all settings have to have a default, and randomizing or forcing a choice on first use would be a hassle, but you aren't pushed down any particular path. I like this and I'm glad there's a desktop environment with an attitude like this.

I think that there is an attitude being evinced by the popularity of search terms like "best photo editor free 2024”. People do they same on forums, they would like to get the "best" one and ideally wouldn't have to spend the time and energy on finding it. Sometimes there is a natural choice, sometimes there's a choice that seems natural to some and not others, and the common case (imho) is that it's complicated. If you're just doing something once and it doesn't matter, use any tools that works, if you'll use it often and the outcome is important then there's not substitute for trying different things.

You might view it as multi-armed bandit problem with a subjective value function. Whether the value varies much between people is something else you'd have to figure out.
> Isn't Red Hat the official Gnome distro since forever?

You mean Fedora? It was considered the "unofficial GNOME OS" for a while, the maintainers of GNOME Shell, Mutter etc were also the maintainers of the packages of Fedora. Fedora Silverblue uses OSTree, which originally got birthed out of very early versions of 'GNOME OS'.

But it was never official, Fedora didn't even ship with Flathub for the longest time and IMHO Fedora has become hostile to casual desktop users.
This is pretty slick. A fun next-layer would be adding on something to automatically convert output and slot it into files in directories or something. Maybe accessible via network, maybe an SD card or so...
@elon, Just put it on Steam as 'GTA: Tesla Edition' and let gamers pay Tesla to drive :D
Those cars will get free upgrades, if required.
Why did the structured wall tilings from the interieur of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennis_House by Frank Lloyd Wright come to my mind?

After so many years I keep going back to it for quick edits.

Interesting. I found that the UI changes, especially the export nonsense, made GIMP less useful and more of a colossal hassle for quick edits.
Not bad (considering the source), but this bit -

> Fascism came to power in Germany, Italy, and Japan at a time of social and economic unrest.

- really timeskips and glosses over a lot of causal factors. The biggest reason why America's post-war economic boom was so good for America's working classes was that WWII had taught America's ruling classes just how horrible the consequences could be, if the lot of the working classes got bad enough. And the Soviet Union was quite obviously trying to spread Communist Revolution - "Workers of the Work, Unite!" - to the rest of the world.
Philosophically, it always bugged me that distros were so centrally in control of packaging: app developers are not allowed to package them in the way they see fit, which has caused some friction in the past[0]. It seems healthier and more scalable if each developer could package it autonomously without work from the central maintainer group.

KDE Project Banana mentions little about packaging, apart from this:[1]

> Instead of legacy packages we target modern deployment systems such as flatpak and systemd-sysext

I hope they succeed in that respect. Flatpak has the promise of decentralizing distribution. That said, my experience of it so far has been brittle, with things like changing your locale or shell prompt causing your apps to freeze[2]. I hope they make a stable operating system nonetheless, but it is not easy.

You seem to know a lot about Apollo - could you share some good sources to dive into on this please? I've always been interested so I thought of researching this in a lot more detail recently.
There’s a lot of ignorance in these comments. do people not realize that Waymo and the other full self driving companies have tele operators as well?

It’s a back up system in case The vehicle gets stuck. Simple as that.
This is exactly what Waymo are doing right now with their fleet in SF, without an of the issues you raise.

Your concerns are pure FUD.
That seems a bit of an odd definition.

A: Doing it with B.

B: Using C to do it.

C: The part that does B

Without defining, "Your", "Consider", "person", "thinking", "feel", and "understand" it could be anything.

There's more than enough leeway in those undefineds to subjectively choose whatever you want.

Not what your quote says
>commercial nature of QT

That "reason" has been obsolete for decades.

It's written "Qt", everything you need for a Linux desktop is LGPL, and it gets regular outside contributions.

I get the discomfort, but if the Qt Company ceased operations tomorrow, Qt would only stagnate... kinda like Gtk already does.
Outperforming cuBLAS on H100: A Worklog
The leading company Waymo does the same thing - is Waymo not full self driving?
Its knowledge mainly, my company is covering tuition and I’ve always had a desire to understand computing “all the way down.” If the outcome would be that I’m still working similar jobs, I’d be alright with that. I commented on a different parent about what coursework I’m considering, maybe that would help me break into something lower level and not just be another backend job?
Have you ever worked on a project that used Rails, Laravel, Django or Spring? Without being a SPA? For many (most) websites, I find that these are far superior to client side heavy SPAs with json apis (react, vue etc).
It looks nice, but my chrome browser on android has all sorts of trouble with rendering the animated bits, so it ends up skipping frames throughout my navigating and clicks. Add to that; the model doesn't respond at all in my multiple attempts, it's a waste of time until it's remedied.
Symfony 7.2.0 Released
This is about robotaxis like Waymo not FSD. Even if it were there are orders of magnitude more FSD cars available than Waymo cars.
And FSD is improving everyday. The only question is when will it be good enough to run a system similar to Waymo where a remote operate an help if it gets stuck, and then when will it be good enough to not need that and be full autonomous.

Place your bet.
> There is thumbnails support in the GTK4 file chooser now.

GIMP doesn't use GTK4.
I'd really like if Tesla had the same system as Waymo, i.e. a disambiguation and no direct control. If it is direct control, i won't trust it.
Remote human intervention to some degree is not unexpected at all. The question is only how often it’s going to be needed.
I disagree. Deception is the act of convincing one in untrue information.

The information I'm conveying is truthful and it's my words. The voice, generated or not, is not what I'm trying to convince people into believing.
Just make sure that the pipeline is fast, or allow an override, and there is no issue.

> “duped” isn’t the right word here.

"Duped" is an accurate description of how Elon Musk has been treating customers who bought a Tesla car with a HW3. He's been repeatedly promising those buyers that full self driving is just a software update away. Now apparently FSD is an impossibility and the company is rushing to hire drivers? In the very least it's bait-and-switch scam.
> Not having the braces makes it so easy to accidentally break in later changes or refactoring.

Did you mean “not having a linter”? Because once you have a linter you no longer need the braces because the autoformatting will always fix the indentation.
I've seen a lot of ledgers. Crypto is much more complicated.

In the end of the day you provide a full stack or just do UI/marketing. This is a good old vertical integration dilemma.
Kickstarter is a very different thing. You are paying for a product that does not exist yet in the hopes that it will.

For Tesla, you paid for a product that exists and outright does not have what the manufacturer claims. That's false advertising.
Tele-operate conjures images of RoboTaxi simulator on Steam, or something.

What's really going on is it's more like Air Traffic Control for a taxi fleet - a welcome and very necessary step.

I think the biggest problem is that js is way faster charging than almost every other language.

I was used to use vue, there was webpack now it's vite or nextjs, some tools are build on top of others like nextjs on webpack and vite on esbuild.

If you stop working 2 years in js your tools will completely change.

E.g. java has maven and more and more use graddle, but it's way slower change.
With docker you get the DB engine, in the case of Plausible is Clickhouse, and the data is up to you (is in the Docker volumes). I needed to migrate from machine A to machine B, and while redeploying Plausible engine was a breeze, I was unable to take a full backup of the Clickhouse data, and following their docs I could only get the backup file, but was unable to restore it. Then, IIRC, I did data dumps, one per table, but some dumps loaded cleanly while others refused, losing some details. OTOH, backuping and restoring the Postgres data was as easy as it Docker wasn't involved. Sumup: the problem was not Docker or Plausible, but Clickhouse.
not all hours sleep/awake hours are equal - for example, I may be more work productive late at night, a better listener/learner in the mornings and better sleeper post meals, in the bath tub, travelling (my kids used to love falling asleep in the car).

Wonder if we could engineer multiple sleep intervals through out the single day (e.g. power napping, siesta's). There is plenty of dead time for me during the day that could be swapped out for sleep.. the question is at what cost to the body & mind?

Just a thought.
Money is credited from an income account, I think you meant.

Congrats on the app and release, OP!
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this tool, but I'm looking for a ui for (technical put non programmer) end users that offers a lot of flexibility. I (the programmer) would create a bunch of partial calculations (the nodes) that the end user then could strong together in advanced and creative ways. The competitive product for the end user is not programming, but Excel.
Oftentimes I find medical research not interesting, most of the people that do strength training know the anxiolytic effect, there is no need for an nth paper to say it, there is a need for research that explain why it is true.

Meta-analysis help in showing trends, it's kinda valuable per se, but there are meta-analysis that show important things that were previously difficult to find because they were scattered in the literature, and the litterature was not with the same sample of people. Here the insights are pretty small, there was not really a doubt about the effect of strength training. A better analysis would be 'which people do not benefit for anxiolytic effects doing sport'. That's unknown, do these people even exist?
The drivers won't just be badly paid, I'm sure the hours will be ridiculous. Tired, overworked, underpaid, poorly trained drivers.
Really surprised by some of the comments here: a mix of hatred, ignorance and lack of foresight

This is a great way to:

- Have a fail-safe / fallback in case the software does not work as intended

- Allow them to continue training the already immense dataset using real data (as opposed to synthetic data)
Is Tesla Waymo?
I have to say that the best KDE distro always has been Slackware, either -stable or -current. Slackware with slapt-get get had, for a while, a pacman-level package manager allowing you to install all the dependencies in a breeze. It even had repos covering all the slackbuilds from SBo made into packages.

A pity Freenix/Freeslack (libre Slackware) died, because if I had to use some $DBUS based distro instead of Hyperbola, I would choose that for professional usage where you need standard tools for your enterprise related work (Docker and such).
But we do have many processes by which gold is destroyed in a way that is unrecoverable or significantly more expensive to recover to make it not viable. We also have government to devaluing gold by not adopting the gold standard and adopting the "full faith and credit" standard instead. So I think this analogy can still apply.

No modern country has any real backing to its currency besides bullets.
Actually in the article it was noted a bit, but not focused on overmuch, but most white resistance to slavery - in supporting the underground railroad was through groups like the Quakers - that is to say specific sub societies, and black people, which given that if you were black and living in a non-slave owning territory you could still be kidnapped and brought into slaver - as in 12 years a slave - may have had some self-interest as well as empathy for their less fortunate brothers and sisters involved in it.

Aside from that the German situation was very short time frame - it may have some effect on resistance.
This. Ledgers are a domain knowledge. Anything else should be built on top, including high load optimizations.
Well, sure, but how does "peppering the solar system" with 100 probes at a time work when each insertion is wildly different? Lifting 100 probes is great, but only if they are going on same / similar boosts to their targets.

And how does it get the initial boost along its trajectory? We could do solar electric and wait a year for it to pick up enough delta-v to start the journey ...

Fully disclosing my ignorance here: How does it work to launch 100 probes to 10 planets from earth with one launch?
The treadmill continues.
Yes, the US credit card situation is decades behind.
We added chips when rest of world had tap, and then we finally added tap when everyone had NFC on their phones. We've only recently started doing the mobile POS terminals at restaurants with the waiter coming to you, but it's maybe 10% of restaurants at most. The standard practice remains handing your card to the waiter who then disappears for a few minutes to ring up the bill.

We also never got rid of swipe, and most cards have their number/expiry/security code printed right on them. Everything you need to go shop online with someone else's card...

It's terrible infosec all around.
Ask HN: How to Resurrect a Site from Archive.org?
I recently bought the expired domain of a niche interest site because the previous owner was determined to let it die and did not want to put any effort in it anymore.

Is there a way I can "revive" it from archive.org in a more or less automated fashion? Have you ever encountered anything like it? I am familiar with web scraping, but archive.org has its peculiarities.

I really, really love the content on it.

It's a very niche site, but I would love for it to live on.
Because AI isn’t a person.
Agreed. Reads as a bit of a gotcha. But wouldn’t we expect and want humans to be in the loop here?
It was my impression that code and money for Gnome primarily came from Red Hat, but also Canonical and Suse.

I didn't think it was the case for KDE, and at least in their latest report they seem to be more Bernie Sanders in their income breakdown[0]. As for code contributions I don't know but I'd be pleased if a more knowledgeable reader could give us a clearer picture.

And even ignoring OneNote and trial version of MS Office in more recent Windows versions, Windows has always shipped with WordPad. Microsoft's vision in the 90s was that the operating system should come with basic productivity tools like a plain text editor (notepad), a rich text editor suitable for writing letters (wordpad), a graphics editor (paint), software for sending and receiving fax and scanning documents (Windows Fax and Scan), along with a media player, a web browser and some games. You could be productive in the office with just a plain Windows install.
QT may be an important reason, yes, but I don't think it would change much with lets say GTK. Nobody wants to deal with the madness you find in KDE. I think most people like a configurable desktop but with sane and solid defaults. That's why Gnome is preferred. And I don't think it's gonna change anytime soon. KDE has a very opinionated userbase, which is not bad, but it also has its downsides.

I'd like to change a couple things in my Gnome desktop that I can't but I rather have it this way than deal with KDE.
Noob question: isn't it kind of defeating the main purpose of SQLite? Meaning having db running in the same process as the program?

People seems to be thinking emergency control, but that would make no sense. Imagine being dropped into a completely unknown setting, milliseconds away from a crash and being expected to take over the wheel. That's pretty obviously not what this is about, it can't be much beyond a car that hasn't moved in a few minutes because it's stuck.
