Yeah, pretty much all browsers on all OSes have print-to-PDF/save-to-PDF, I prefer saving an HTML file over saving a PDF file for 3 reasons:

1. SingleFile allows me to save a an HTML file that looks exactly like the webpage I saved. I never used a save-to-PDF functionality in any browser that allowed me to save a PDF that looks exactly like the webpage I was saving/printing. I wish browsers implement that, somebody did that once, they patched chromium to save a web page as SVG[1], AFAIK if you can save to SVG you can also save to PDF with not much modification to the code, unfortunately the fork is not maintained anymore.

2. The HTML files that SingleFile creates are responsive (just like the webpage you had open), PDF is not responsive.
I like that because it makes it easier to read the webpage I saved on my phone later, with a PDF file you saved on your desktop, you have to pinch to zoom and pan while you read it on your phone.

3. HTML-files/Webpages are accessible to screen readers and my browser's extensions work on them, extensions don't work on PDF files (they _can_ work on HTML files opened from disk, if you allow/enable it in the extension's settings).

> Headlines like “I made $70K selling NYC restaurant reservations — and I don’t even live in New York” have become all the more common as the savvy implement bots to (or manually work to) book up several reservations at a time, only to be sold in what’s being referred to as a “black market.”

From the linked article:

> At Ralph Lauren’s posh Polo Bar, tables have been gulped up by an Ivy League, undergrad math wiz named Alex Eisler. The sophomore at Brown University has made it a business to create phony numbers and emails to snag reservations — and resell them for a healthy profit.

So how is New York going to prosecute people like Eisler? I doubt Rhode Island is going to extradite them. What if someone in Canada does the same thing?
What if discord goes away. I would think you want the data local.
Based on: the EPA regulates doses not the FDA, there are no human studies for these chemicals at all (the amounts are based on rats and mice), the dose isn't a "safe dose" it's a "reference dose", and a standard human is exposed to a few hundred nanograms of these chemicals normally in a day while cooking with these introduces tens of thousands of nanograms per day.

So, baseline, one day of using black cookware exposes you to a years worth of baseline exposure. Every day. That's why I consider it high. These are known bioaccumulating carcinogenic compounds. I can reduce my baseline by over 99% by spending $10 on a new spatula? Yeah, that's high.

> Maybe it's not good truth that we can all adapt and should try, but it's certainly good policy.

Are you a politician? That's fantastic neoliberal policy, "alternativlos" even, you can pretend that everybody can adapt the same way you told victims of your globalization policies "learn how to code". We still need at least a few people for this "direction and vision setting", so it would just be naive doomerism to feel pessimistic about AGI. General intelligence doesn't talk about jobs in general, what an absurd idea!

Making people feel hopeless is the last thing you want, especially when it's true, especially if you don't want them to fight for the dignity you will otherwise deny them once they become economically unviable human beings.
It has virtual brushes. This predates AI by quite a lot. It's important to be careful to call it a virtual or simulated painting but perhaps not all the time. Maybe every single instance it's brought up but not always repeated – if you wrote a paper about virtual painting perhaps 10 of 100 occurrences of the term painting would come with a term like virtual or simulated.
Both are still 55 h/w of grinding. Worrying about WLB and not keeping your head down would be, "I'm off the clock, no more working on anything related to work in any capacity today".

Prepping for interviews outside of work would still very much count as "grinding" in my opinion.

When I was a kid in the 1980s, distant buildings were bombed too, and endless Cold wars and Middle East wars etc were a given too. However, your average 12 year old doesn't deeply care about finance or politics or distant wars. Their day-to-day routine goes on. Those are adult problems.

With Covid, the difference is that it came home, for everyone. And not just the US, but globally. Every home was directly affected, for months or years. 9/11 or 2008 didn't lock down entire countries for weeks and months at a time, impose country wide curfews, close all schools, suppress all socialising, impose home schooling, adults/parents working from home or not-at-all, shuttering of global supply lines, increased mortality fears for all older relatives, and constant everyday panic headlines and monitoring for years. We're still working through the aftereffects. So yes, very unique, in its direct effect upon the youth of wealthy countries in modern society.
No you don’t. The US government has already completed projects at this scale without total economic mobilization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center Presumably peer and near-peer states are similarly capable.

A private company, xAI, was able to build a datacenter on a similar scale in less than 6 months, with integrated power supply via large batteries: https://www.tomshardware.com/desktops/servers/first-in-depth...

Datacenter construction is a one-time cost. The intelligence the datacenter (might) provide is ongoing. It’s not an equal one to one trade, and well within reach for many state and non-state actors if it is desired.

It’s potentially going to be a very interesting decade.

Python's venv design is not obviously unintelligent. It must work on all sorts of filesystems, which limits how many copies can be stored and how they can be associated. More advanced filesystems can support saving space explicitly for software that exploits them, and implicitly for everyone, but there is a cost to everything.
> However, they might decide to vote strategically to amplify their vote — giving Desert a score of 10 while giving everything else a score of 1 would effectively make their vote stronger.

It makes more sense for the voter to give their favorite candidate a 10, their least favorite a 0, and grade every other candidate on the spectrum between their two extreme picks. So that still seems to be as informative as you could hope for.

I find it easy to drink in moderation because I only do it socially. One or two drinks at a dinner party has never cost me a day of work. But I have spent a whole morning in bed scrolling Instagram Reels instead of going in to work.

Passive consumption of short-form videos lacks that social feedback mechanism that keeps my behavior in check. It’s easy to stay up way later than I meant to and be wrecked the next day.

Consuming by yourself in a dark room is the default consumption mode for Reels/Shorts/TikTok, whereas in my social circles drinking alone is very unusual.
This is not an actual problem that needs to be solved in the first place. It's a total waste of tax dollars.

You are generalizing. Google and big providers do that, usually (US)services that need to cater to the whole world.
But a huge part of the normal web still uses and _needs_ preferred language. No one wants to be forced to use geolocation.

Just one very common example are info pages for sightseeing, they are usually available in all languages that people commonly visit from and just work if you browse to them. Not to mention that geolocation would be useless anyway in that case.

> Maybe it takes living alone to issue voice commands and feel some privacy

Perhaps your definition of "private" is more stringent than most people's. Collective privacy exists, for example "The family would appreciate some privacy as they grieve". It is correct to term something "private" when it is shared with your entire household, but no one else.
First world problems. People who live in NYC should quit expecting government to solve every minor inconvenience for them and just go eat at another restaurant. Lots of good restaurants in NYC, and many don't even require reservations.

The scalability when further out sounds fundamentally like a coin-flip with future technologies, for if it makes sense or not. Three dimensional cameras of regular citizens being covered would be a hit. But what about misses, like say if artificial eyes became a norm would looking at someone technically be a violation under the law because you are technically recording them without permission even if it is just to a small operating buffer before it is passed to the optic nerve?
I'm very fond of QML's syntax, so can't quite understand why you don't like it. It has a learning curve, but I studied all the basics in a day (it's just so simple and intuitive, imo).

Not sure how "QML in C++" would look like, but it doesn't sound pretty. Recently someone published a declarative UI inside C++[1] (without a different syntax) but I felt a bit off with this approach. Maybe that's something you mean?

It is because genocide is a matter of intent that people in debates will disagree. Just taking a look on the war on terror. Was the intent to grab oil, revenge, fund the military complex, or was it to liberate people? Its been over 20 years and people are still debating the intent of all those wars that occurred after 9/11. Intent is really hard to prove, and that is even if we have proof of policies that defined every killed male over the age of 15 as terrorist regardless of situation.

We could just define all wars as genocide and be done with it. The definition do fit, with all wars ending up behaving as if the intent was the destruction of a people. If the genocide definition helps to reduce the scale of the atrocity being done then I am also for using it in any war which has that effect. However, if it is just used as a media tool in order to define which side is good or bad then Im unconvinced it will help to reduce atrocities.

Access to main memory can be many many cycles; a short routine already in cache may be able to recompute a value more quickly than pulling it from main memory.
To the best of my knowledge, AirTag locations still cannot be obtained through the iCloud website. The locations it shows are simply generated by the devices themselves and uploaded directly to Apple. This library specifically only queries the FindMy network, which is the system that allows other iPhones (and iPads etc.) to "find" your devices.

The library also explicitly does not integrate with your Apple account, but only uses it to query encrypted location reports from Apple. This can be done with any account, even if it does not "own" the device, as long as you can generate the correct keys.
After failing with three reasonable ideas, they solved the problem with an idea that previously would have seemed unlikely to work (get similarity to past known nits and use a threshold of 3 similar nits above a certain cutoff similarity score for filtering). A lot of applications of ML have a similar hacky trial and error flavor like that. Intuition is often built in retrospect and may not transfer well to other domains. I would have guessed that finetuning would also work, but agree with the author that it would be more expensive and less portable across different models.
Another one of these brilliant in the boardroom ideas that they never bothered to run past real people.
I'm sorry - where can I buy support for Gmail? Do you mean Google Workspace?

I did used to have a Google workspace account, for several years, but administering it was a lot more work than just having a Gmail account. It's certainly not something that my mom could do.

I'm talking about something more oriented toward consumers, and ideally pay-per-use.
What's not mentioned is that in most cases you have a constant divisor which lets you replace division by multiplication with the reciprocal. The reciprocal can be rounded to a nearby dyadic rational, letting you do the division with a right-shift.

For example, 8-bit division by 3 is equivalent to widening multiplication by 171 followed by a right-shift of 9, as 171/2^9 = 0.333984375 which is close enough to 1/3 that the results match exactly.

a lot of tech debt is used to palliate the effects of weak leadership in lame organizations, but say, doing a feature demo with hardcoded or simulated data that closes a sale is smart leverage.

ultimately the purpose of any feature is to discover market demand for fit. the faster you can do that, the better your product will be. when we lose sight of that signal-discovery purpose and think we're building a precision machine part or a bridge as some kind of public service, I think we lose the plot.

people should learn to love tech debt, it's high value, and when it becomes a problem, fixing it is also high value.

Yes, but it also makes thermal shifts faster, thinner packages have less heat capacity, and also crack easier due to more flexibility. The other thing noted in the article is thinner packages mean you have to use thinner metal layers which are what disproportionally do the heat transfer. Silicon transfers ok, but these modern nodes generate so much heat that silicon by itself is not sufficient.

Show HN: Instant and Dynamic Zip Download Solution
Zips are great - they allow users to download numerous files in an organized file structure from a single browser download. That’s why, when building Memory Labs (memorylabs.app), we were surprised to learn that S3 offers NO built-in zipping. Our users required personalized downloads with the photos/videos they were in and had ‘favorited.’ The two solutions were reminiscent of a 2012 user experience:
1. instantly offer a unpersonalized, premade zip with all files
2. make our client wait minutes for an email once their personalized zip has been created

Both of these solutions required us to create, store, and manage the lifecycle our users’ zips.

We needed the best of both worlds: instant, personalized downloads. That’s why we built Streamzipper. Pass our API an array of files to zip, with whatever file structure you’d like, and immediately receive a signed download link. No zip creation, storage or management needed. Customize the name of the returned ZIP and add an expiration time. Hook up your S3 bucket to pass file paths directly, or pass public or signed URLs.

We deliver the most seamless, feature-rich zipping experience for developers.

Coming soon: Track user downloads (dates, download duration, user internet speed), Dynamically adjust expiration.
I suppose this is mostly used for generation of novel subtitles, but there's probably enough infrastructure out there to combine Whisper and Llama to build a local-first closed-caption-style subtitling system.

I've seen enough bad and desynced subtitles from opensubtitles.org that could easily be fixed up with a transcription. Some of them seem to be a result of poor OCR of Bluray bitmapped captions.
There is an examples directory that covers basic usage: https://github.com/malmeloo/FindMy.py/tree/main/examples

Official docs: https://docs.mikealmel.ooo/FindMy.py/

I realize that the docs are rather empty right now; it takes a lot of time to turn my thoughts into text, which I do not really have at the moment. Contributions are welcome, of course ;-)

This makes sense in the context of trying to maximize log wealth (or I think any concave function of wealth, though the arithmetic is different). But in one of OP's other articles [1], he says the Kelly criterion doesn't require trying to maximize log-wealth, that this is just a common misconception -- all that's required is maximizing something growing geometrically over time.

This I don't understand, maybe someone help me out? Say the real growth rate of capital (or interest rate available to me, whatever) is 2%/year and I have a 10 year time horizon. So $1.00 today is ~$1.22 in 10 years. More generally, if I have wealth X today I will have 1.22X in 10 years. And if X is not a constant but a random variable and I want to maximize future expected wealth (not log wealth), that's just max(E[1.22X]) and by linearity of expectation I should just maximize wealth today to maximize in 10 years time.

So Kelly being appropriate must have some other conditions, right? Wanting to maximize log wealth is surely sufficient (and individually probably ~rational). What else?

Lots of lists of the myths of LLMs out there https://masterofcode.com/blog/llms-myths-vs-reality-what-you...
Every single post glosses over some aspect of these myths or posits they can be controlled or mitigated in some way, with no examples of anyone else finding applicability of the solutions to real world problems in a supportable and reliable way. When pushed, a myth in the neighborhood of those in the list above is pushed like the system will get better, or some classical computing mechanism will make up the difference, or that the problems aren't so bad, the solution is good enough in some ambiguous way, or that people or existing systems are just as bad when they are not.
> Arc is meant to test the ability of a model to generalize. It's neat to see it succeed, but it's not yet a guarantee that it can generalize when given other tasks.

Well no, that would mean that Arc isn't actually testing the ability of a model to generalize then and we would need a better test. Considering it's by François Chollet, yep we need a better test.

The people that show up also probably spend more if they paid for the reservation.

I’m a little curious why the restaurants don’t just charge more. From my simplistic understanding of economics, this sounds like consumers are willing to pay more for it, but restaurants are letting scalpers eat the excess. There must be a reason, they know the market better than me, just curious what it is.
> The bill does not target legitimate trading platforms like the members-only Dorsia [...]

At least they had fun with the name. (Presumably named after the unobtainable reservation craved by the protagonist in "American Psycho".)
Why does this have to be a service, paid or otherwise? Why should a client trust you with their S3 creds and data? It feels like something that could be implemented in max 3 billed hours by one engineer.
