Model training and inference, for example. Despite the hype, there's actually a lot of data science work that uses modestly-sized sets of structured data and doesn't really need a billion parameter deep learning model. And even when you're running inference on larger datasets it's often fine to just use mini batches.

I don't really think of it as a "losing" performance problem. It's all about tradeoffs. SIMD tooling often offers an easier programming model than SPMD tooling, and spending an extra 60 minutes of development time to save myself 60 seconds of run time is generally not a worthwhile trade in my problem space. Especially if I also need to run it on more expensive compute instances to realize that speedup.
Maybe this is part of their Tick-Tock CEO strategy?

PostgreSQL is an SQL database that also offers full-text search (FTS), with extensions like pg_search it also supports BM25 scoring which is essential for lexical search. SeekStorm is centered around full-text search only, it doesn't offer SQL.

Performance-wise it would be indeed interesting to run a benchmark. The third-party open-source benchmark we are currently using (search_benchmark_game) does not yet support PostgreSQL. So yes, that comparison is still pending.

ARM does not inherently have "massively lower power consumption and waste heat", though.

Market forces have traditionally pushed Intel and AMD to design their chips for a less efficient part of the frequency/power curve than ARM vendors. That changed a few years ago, and you can already see the results in x86 chips becoming more efficient.
That makes sense, mTLS is great. Some services like Google Cloud SQL are really good about support for it. https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/configure-ssl-instan...

It's not quite a zero-trust solution though due to the CA chain of trust.

mTLS is security at a different layer though than IP source whitelisting. I'd say that a lot of companies we spoke to would want both as a defense-in-depth measure. Even with mTLS, network whitelisting is relevant. If your certificate were to be exposed for instance, an attacker would still need to be able to forge a source IP address to start a connection.
>Whether I'm right, or am an absolute drooling nutcase, for thinking interest-taking (on a full-recourse loan) is immoral is beside the point

No it most definitely is not. Could you just confirm the following statement is accurate:

It is your belief that interest taking on loans and legalized slavery are a difference of degree, not a difference in kind.
“Go to Vietnam” is maybe not the most practical suggestion for grabbing a cup of coffee, but that’s where I found the best Vietnamese coffee.

As others have said, Vietnamese coffee was traditionally cheaper robusta beans, tended to be lower-quality, and was dark-roasted as a result. More recently, as Vietnam has gotten wealthier, there has been a craft coffee scene developing. I had great coffee in growing regions like Da Lat and Khe Sanh, and in specialty coffee shops in Hanoi like Dream Beans.
That's why I don't like/play physical board games.

Computers are much better in enforcing every arbitrarily complex rule/mechanic and there is no need to get into any rule lawyering disputes.

Also, I can avoid any boring/time consuming stuff like counting tokens, points, scores, roads etc.

In a similar incident that occurred while Douglas Adams attended St John's College, Cambridge, furniture was placed in the rooms overlooking the river in Third Court while the staircases were being refurbished. When the staircases were completed, it was discovered that the sofas could no longer be removed from the rooms, and the sofas remained in those rooms for several decades.

While I’m sure Facebook had data to roughly justify this, just like Moores Law, I’m sure this is equal parts back-projection as prophetic declaration of intent.

For Facebook, they needed the cultural expectation to be ever-increasing data sharing. They (along with other companies) facilitated the creation of tools to share ever-increasing amounts of data.

Just read the whole thing. Not one word about ads.

From the 2014 book:

Remember, people don't use Facebook because they like us.

They use it because they like their friends.

Where that went:

We have the power to cut them off from their friends.

So we can control everything they see.

Muahahaha!
I came to say the same about JotL. They got so much right in that game with the way they introduce the rules and the spiral-bound book game board being the most prominent.
It would be much cheaper if they would just, like, go home and not fight people
I mentioned this in another comment thread, but we use gVisor to enforce isolation. https://gvisor.dev/users/

It's also used by Google Kubernetes Engine, OpenAI, and Cloudflare among others to run untrusted code.

Large complex games can be fun. But they require investment, if you don't have a group who will play the game with you "often" then they are not worth learning. Meanwhile I can teach someone a card game in a couple minutes, play for some time over a meal and never see that person again.
Having never heard of this series until this HN thread, I assumed from context that you meant Bill Skarsgård, who of course is a natural for an out-of-place somewhat-alien a-touch-androgynous misfit, having played that kind of role well before.

It turned out not to be the one I was sure you meant, hahaha. "Iceman" from Generation Kill is rather a twist, but of course, as mentioned, actors are supposed to be able to act....
I don't want to sound too dismissive of someone's hard work but I was kind of hoping for something more sophisticated than showing an LLM the image of a plot. Using the article's example, I would be interested in understanding causes (or even just correlations) of near falls - is it old people, or people who didn't take their vitamins, or people who recently had an illness, etc.? What's the best way of discovering these that isn't me slicing the data by X and looking at the plot.
On the moon any dust you kick up will travel much, much farther than on earth, and you could hardly build a moon civilization without mining regolith. It's practically crushed ore. With no atmosphere there's going to be less light attenuation (but also less diffusion).

The only discussions I can find about light from the moon being visible on earth, talk about whether we would ever be able to see light on the bright half of the moon and that seems to be pretty impossible. The other side is a lot less illumination. People in cities probably wouldn't see it. But rural people can see the milky way.
Sometimes I see prices like: 22.5

wonder what happens if you try to pay with 22.05?
It's sort of like how growing up how to escape quicksand seemed like a very important bit of knowledge to have.

I am currently working with RMM and MDM platforms to automate device provisioning. I am passionate about problem-solving and enjoy finding innovative ways to automate processes. I would love to continue working in this space or in a related field where I can leverage my skills.
I understand the tradeoff, but it left a segment of the market between pure consumer solutions and pure productivity/server solutions in no mans land.
Grok and Claude also refuse to talk about him.
Okay, so Facebook started as a way to interconnect people. But it's a business, so it has to make money to survive. So they added ads. And now my feed is 99% ads, 1% updates from my friends. Sooooo mission accomplished, right? Right?
> Especially if you'd have to blacklist every "From" address separately

You don't blacklist senders, you specify the names and addresses of the recipients that are to have their mail withheld. Or, if you want to stop delivery to everyone at your address, you can specify that and avoid having to specify names.

> Then there are "sorry, but your route had a substitute carrier today, and he was in a hurry..." error.

Sure, mistakes can happen (although I've never had it happen when I've done this), but would that be a catastrophic problem? It seems like it would be a minor thing for your use case.

I believe the intent is to prevent mail delivery to houses when the residents will be gone for a substantial period of time.
As much as I love StarCraft, they really could have explained this part of the story in a better way inside the game.
I don't see anything in her language that can be interpreted as "Zig is bad", rather than "Rust fits my use case best" along with bullet points that explain that logic.
To me, this basically says "LLMs aren't pre-trained on enough 1D timeseries data" - there's a classic technique in time series analysis where you just do a wavelet or FFT on the time series and feed it into a convnet as an image, leveraging the massive pre-training on, e.g. ImageNet. This "shouldn't" be the best way to do it, since a giant network should learn a better internal representation than something static like FFT or a wavelet transform. But there's no 1D equivalent of ImageNet so it still often works better than a 1D ConvNet trained from scratch.

Same applies here. An LLM trained on tons of time series should be able to create its own internal representation that's much more effective than looking at a static plot, since plots can't represent patterns at all scales (indeed, a human plotting to explore data will zoom in, zoom out, transform the timeseries, etc.). But since LLMs don't have enough 1D timeseries pretraining, the plot-as-image technique leverages the massive amount of image pre-training.

Model rocketry is great fun and brilliant way to learn about engineering.

There are STILL people drinking the techno-utopian kool-aid.

Plenty of folks think Musk will do something smart someday, for humanity's benefit, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I was here when the web showed up, and I can honestly state that we featured blatant techno-utopian rhetoric in nearly every aspect of the industry, as well as our underground nocturnal allegedly musical entertainment.

I now feel rather dumb, aka a product of my time, but the notion that inventing tools would lead to them automatically being used for good was prevalent, if specious.
Yeah, great question. This came up at the beginning of design. A lot of our customers specifically needed IPv4 whitelisting. For example, MongoDB Atlas (a very popular database vendor) only supports IPv4. https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/does-mongodb-atla...

The architecture of vprox is pretty generic though and could support IPv6 as well.

It's a post from a propmaker community of replicating an iconic prop?

Movies are all about how they make the audience feel, and everyone remembers the creepiness of this particular prop in The Rock. It's awesome that someone replicated it because yeah - it's a very impressive prop because of exactly that reason - it was basically a character itself in them movie, and was an impressively constructed visual piece which was meant to exude menace.

You're doing a weird thing of saying "obviously this is about nerve gas"...no it is first and foremost about a movie, a story, and the emotional narrative it told.
The problem will not be solved by laws requiring corporations to act ethically. That will never work as long as their incentives are what they are. IMO the only way to address these issues is to have a free software phone-OS alternative that users can have control of.. that is to say if you want the government involved, it would be best served by funding an free software project along these lines.
There's a lot of altruistic sounding stuff about connection in there, but it's hard to believe it's sincere when their product is a space where paid accounts don't have to bother with consent.
We bought Netrunner because it looked amazing, but we laboured through as many of the rules as we could stomach before putting it away without playing. That was 10 years ago. We've haven't had the energy to try again yet.

Lots of people are still optimistic about tech. They just generally don't have time to get into silly arguments about it on HN.
"Random files opened by the parent" were, as a rule, deliberately given to the child. You would use CLOEXEC if you don't want that.

Yeah, the dreams of what computers could do around Windows 95, and what the Internet could do around Windows 98/Windows 2000... it felt amazing as a teenager who wanted to go into computer science. IMHO social media heralded the beginning of the end, although no-one knew that at the time.

A lot of the 90s nostalgia is just the same rose-tinted glasses as all generations experience, but I think in this one dimension it truly felt a lot better back then.

This is true. In Lisp terms every TCL command is effectively a special form, and can do whatever it pleases with its arguments.

On the other hand, TCL provides much less support for building up the string to be evaluated if it's more complex than a single command; and even for a single command it can be tricky.
Yes! Anything I'm serious about learning, I (re)write the documentation as I go. Haven't tried this with board games yet, but it actually sounds kind of fun.

For me, at least, there is no rulebook or textbook or docs page that is so great that I can learn about something just by reading about it. Unless I can mess with it (even just by writing my own text about it), I will never internalize it.

Because Iraq used real chemical weapons in the war with Iran. It would be sort of ridiculous to pivot to fake ones after that.
That's only a problem if they cut you off. If there's a defined (low) fee for overages then I don't understand what the problem is. $1tb is very well priced. AWS/GCP charges from the first byte after the miniscule free tier.

Friendly heads up that the freelancer version of this thread might be more in line with what you’re looking for. :-)
How far we've come in a little over a decade.

If you're working for Big Tech now, you're basically working for a defense contractor. Amazon, Microsoft, Google or Meta are really no different to Boeing, Lockheed Martin or Northrop Grumman.

Meta was culpable in the Rohingya genocide [1], builds AI for the military [2], silences content about Palestine (with deep ties to the Netanyahu government) [3] and Zuckerberg is cozying up to the incoming Trump administration [4].

We're so far away from Sergey Brin's principled stance against China [5]. You can find similar lists to the above for Google, Microsoft or Amazon.
