>after seeing what Amazon did to Lord of the Rings

I don't understand how streaming services with huge budgets are so constantly bad when it comes to writing. I found the Amazon Lord of the Rings series just empty and I quit on it, something I couldn't imagine doing. The dialogue was simply dreadful to listen to.

How is it they so regularly skimp on the creative side of things and while they might have nice effects the content still seems so woefully unpolished/amateurish in other ways?
Is your system configured to share analytics and diagnostics? I disable both, and when a crash occurs, I receive a dialog with an "ignore" option.

Bond is violent with both genders
There's degrees of "unrealistic" though, and it's tied to how relatable the Bond is. The old Bonds were a mixture of action hero spy guy and Playboy-style gentleman. Over time, the Playboy lifestyle has aged poorly and finally been peeled away from Bond.

Now, you can argue that formula for Bond was unique, and what differentiates him from Bourne or Reacher, and worth keeping for that reason. But against that, you have the fact that I and a lot of other viewers find the Playboy lifestyle to be a really silly and distasteful fantasy that seems uniquely laughable now, and far harder to suspend disbelief for than generic action hero stunts.

I also grew up with an Apple IIe and made dungeon games and text adventures in BASIC. But I was limited to a single manual and lived in a rural area with no nerd friends. The Internet, phones, and LLMs fill in all the gaps now, so the added complexity of today’s hardware and software is much more manageable. They are the third wheel on the tricycle or, if you prefer, training wheels on the bike.

Show HN: Built a app to track monthly expenses and spend hotpoints
Hi, I have developed a simple budgeting website over the holidays.

Features.
1) The app is in very early stages. But the basic functionality of Adding Income and Expenses and the respective visualizations work.
2) Visualization and Sankey representation of your budget can be seen on the home page.
3) Yearly View - Represents all expense for chosen year.
4) Monthly View - Allows you to add income and expenses for a specific month.
5) Recurring Income and Expenses can also be added.
6) Analytics View - Provides detailed insights on your spending habits.

Note:
I developed it as a personal project and thought it would benefit someone looking for a similar tool. This app is not for everyone as it involves time to be spent for tracking expenses.

Certain bank applications offer this in their app. Mine doesn't and I also wanted to bring a holistic view from different accounts.

Aware of multiple similar product offerings. I just built it as an exercise to learn and have something convenient at my end which provided detailed money flow diagrams.

The app does not support automated bank integration or credit card integration. Will never do this.

I want to keep the app simple and make budgeting a habit and it's for the people who take personal finance seriously and spend time to manage it.

Thoughts and Feedback welcome.

Probably a hot take but if you use the word 'incel' to label people you are kinda trash. If you use sexuality to label people in a bad way/try to demean them (especially when one of the worlds you use is involuntary I.E. out of their control), you are definitely trash.

Are these parallelised? <3ms overhead for a clean database and test code to interact with it is very good!
The database is often the thing that enforces the most critical application invariants, and is the primary source of errors when those invariants are violated. For example, "tenant IDs are unique" or "updates to the foobars are strictly serializable". The only thing enforcing these invariants in production is the interplay between your database schema and the queries you execute against it. So unless you exercise these invariants and the error cases against the actual database (or a lightweight containerized version thereof) in your test suite, it's your users who are actually testing the critical invariants.

I'm pretty sure "don't repeat yourself" thinking has led to the vast majority of the bad ideas I've seen so far in my career. It's a truly crippling brainworm, and I wish computer schools wouldn't teach it.

It would be very interesting to dust off some of those old projects with modern affordances like not needing 1 SGI machine per eye lol but to review the first principles thinking in the problem spaces you guys looked at like air traffic control which is still the same use case and XR should have better chance today of making out of R&D labs onto a shop floor. I have seen talks from Tom Furness about the early applications being tested and seems like we are just now getting to a place on the development curve where some of them might just be practical.

I agree! Whatever else they are from a critique standpoint, I absolutely love how they’ve modernized the Bond-the-slutty-sociopath role into something that’s actually plausibly what I would expect to find in today’s reality. They did beautiful work with that aspect of modernization and the Craig movies are most memorable of all of them to me now (though I will always hold a fondness in my heart for LASER BEAMS IN SPACE).

They did not do so well with modernizing any of Bond’s skin color, gender, or bedroom scene co-stars; nor did they portray him assaulting women for information like he would men.
Holy crap.

This isn't splitting the unified memory, it's splitting the soc into a sip. The ram is still on the same interposer/substrate. The actual mm distance won't be regressing to say the distance of a dimm socket to the cpu socket.

Large context has different perf than large model. Op was likely thinking of running 400b models and finding the compute wasn’t enough to make the memory useful.
Sure, that arch exploitative act of "trying to set up a factory" in an impoverished area. God forbid the locals get wages and a chance at better living conditions, when they can instead be forced to remain a living museum of impoverished hunter-gatherer cultures for the benefit of haughty Western scholars of neo-colonialism. /s

"Illegally" using Greenland to transport nuclear bombs? Illegal under whose law? The illegitimate dictates of the occupying Danish government?

You can point fingers and "what about?" all day long, but there's only state that colonised Greenland, and that is Denmark. Whereas the United States - while far from perfect - played a pivotal role in pressuring Europe to dismantle its rapacious colonial empires.

Ultimately, the only people who have the right to decide the future and laws of Greenland are the people of Greenland. Whether that is independence, joining the Union as an equal, or continued colony status under Denmark is a matter for them and them alone. Unlike Denmark, the US isn't going to invade and annex Greenland.
Right, like how Walmart and McDonald's are subsidized by taxpayers.

Businesses like Walmart and McDonald's should pay their own costs without relying on the crutch of the public purse.

If these businesses are so inefficient that they can't survive without handouts then it is good and proper and correct that they die off and be replaced by more efficient businesses.
I’m both surprised and not surprised. I’m surprised because these sort of problems with very clear prompts and fairly clear algorithmic requirements are exactly what I’d expect LLMs to perform best at.

But I’m not surprised because I’ve seen them fail on many problems even with lots of prompt engineering and test cases.
But propaganda? What is the agenda, then, and what would be obtained through that agenda?

There are very clear issues in both society and the environment that are both directly and indirectly caused by the obsession with growth.
The frustrating thing here is that the people in the article are complaining that Wizards isn't 'leaving it up to the DM', but that's one of the main things that WotC always drives home - and still is. If you want to fill your world with racist, ableist, sexist asshats and tell your players that their orc character is going to be inherently stupider than other races because they're inherently (genetically?) inferior, you still can.

What they're really saying, as always, is 'why does inclusivity have to be opt-out instead of opt-in?'
I disagree. Sometimes you might select such combinations because you like suboptimal combinations for a challenge or for other reasons. (The rules should not prohibit from making such selections.) However, there might sometimes be advantages as well as disadvantages to your selections.

However, I don't like class-based systems so much, and I prefer skill-based systems. Instead of selecting a character class, you can select which skills you want (including narrower skills; I think the skills in GURPS are not narrow enough) and how much of each one.

But see also my other comment for other details.
Easy solution to rate limit. Require initial request to get 1 time token with a 1 second delay And then require valid requests to include the token. The token returned has a salt with something like timestamp and ip. That way they can only bombard the token generator.

get /token

Returns token with timestamp in salted hash

get /resource?token=abc123xyz

Check for valid token and drop or deny.

The magic of password is that you can write them to paper or keep them in your mind. No interoperability issue if suddenly having to use it temporarily or permanently with another device, like if you lose your phone. And you can also pretend they don't exist and no one can prove otherwise. Also if you don't use a password manager, no one (hacker or else) can extract it from your head like it can be forced from your devices.

I think the sweet spot is simple relational abstractions that do not necessarily depend on a SQL implementation. Those are extremely quick and easy to write unit tests against and to use, and don’t burden the developer. Then the library implementing them can itself be well-tested and straightforward, and even portable to other backing stores. I’m not saying “use an ORM”.
So I started building a solver for satisfactory for someone. Code is on GitHub if you are bored. It can do similar things, as well as finding optimal recipes and such (like some websites do) but I did it to speed up their app where their current solving of graphical models can be quite slow (20 minutes to solve a model)
I've tried a lot of approaches as a result, including going down the same paths.

The balancer issue is different in particular but in my experience, for this kind of problem, using z3 and cvc5 give much faster result than mnilp solvers or cp-sat. On smaller models they are all quite fast. But as it gets larger it's actually much faster for me to binary search an optimal objective through sat with z3 or cvc5 than it is to ask most nlp solvers to optimize it. I haven't tried gurobi or cplex of course.

But I expect this is because of their ability to do really effective incremental solving so that binary searching the objective is very efficient (z3 has an optimizer and soft constraints but they do not advertise it as supporting non linear logic and I can get it to hang on some models)

Especially for this type of problem, I would consider using an SMT solver and seeing how it does

If you stick with Clos networks, a homegrown solver using bdds is probably quite fast and wildly memory efficient.

An experienced DM can of course let their players create whatever character they want, but a less experienced DM might be concerned about balance/fairness/implications of bending the rules. By creating an alternative, flexible rule for ability scores, a table can feel confident that the characters they build are still balanced.

> The changes WoTC made are bad, and make everything less fun and more generic. Their intentions were good, but what they've done really isn't helpful or good at all.

As you said above, the DM and table can agree to whatever constraints they want for the game, including using the old ability scores.

Am I reading the example correctly? The prompt is the same size as the generated code, and likely more difficult to understand? Why would you use that? Why would you use anything that includes a "TODO"?

-- ignoring what I would consider "weird" in the code, I assume that's just style.

The prompt is:

This function performs a forward pass for a model, incorporating conditioning and time step information.

It randomly selects time steps, applies learned conditioning if applicable, and processes the inputs according to the model's conditioning
requirements.

Finally, it computes and returns the loss for the given inputs and conditioning.

The ground truth (am I correct, this is the expected answer?) is:

def forward(self, x, c, *args, **kwargs):
t = torch.randint(0, self.num_timesteps, (x.shape[0],), device=self.device).long()
logging.info(f'Random timestep t generated with shape: {t.shape}')
if self.model.conditioning_key is not None:
assert c is not None
if self.cond_stage_trainable:
c = self.get_learned_conditioning(c)
if self.shorten_cond_schedule: # TODO: drop this option
tc = self.cond_ids[t].to(self.device)
c = self.q_sample(x_start=c, t=tc, noise=torch.randn_like(c.float()))
return self.p_losses(x, c, t, *args, **kwargs)

You can make sub-optimal combinations, but D&D is a team game. If you build a Barbarian that can't deal damage, or a Wizard who's spells never land, you're letting the rest of your team down.

> The rules should not prohibit from making such selections.

The new rules give you _more_ freedom to choose a suboptimal build. You can even play a Gnome with low intelligence under the new rules, something that was impossible before.

I just got the new M4 iPad like two months ago, and my YubiKeys absolutely did not work, no matter what I tried. There are articles on apple.com and yubikey.com that explain that USB-C YubiKeys will not work with USB-C iPads because Apple's USB-C implementation isn't sending the timing info (or something like that) that the YubiKey needs to function. People were buying Lightening YubiKey and connecting them to Apple's Lightening to USB-C "camera adapter" to work around this.

I decided to double-check my YubiKeys before I responded to your post and (!!!) they work now! This is huge!
TCP congestion control is a disaster. Setting DCTCP slightly improves things but for big slow pipes it can be impossible to get near line rate. Congestion control's intent also differs from QoS/CoS. It's also a 'reactive' design rather than a constructive one, usually a bad sign. Not to mention that TCP is itself really complex and susceptible to receiver resource exhaustion.

Still getting into the reading here, but making my intuition a little bit more explicit, it seems that at least the design, but possibly the implementation of Homa actually hinges on datacenter switches QoS queues being configured with a policy to explicitly respect the receiver-assigned priorities... cool!
No, I’m not talking about protecting women’s rights. I hope if you were to imagine (in good faith!) a person “whose entire personality is protecting women’s rights” and a person “whose entire personality is being anti-trans” you’d come up with different images.

It is a billing problem. Simple as that. Residents provide a vast amount of care, both under the supervision of an attending physician, that currently goes uncharged.

Federal residency payments to hospitals forbids charging for it, and insurance refuses to pay for it. It is enough to cover the salary and cost of the residents.

You are right that the current state is a free-rider problem. Free rider problems have tons of solutions, in both through markets and public policy. A free rider problem doesn't mean we must throw up our hands and give up. Instead, it suggests the type of solutions which are applicable.

This was my thought reading through the article. It makes it sound like the Broccoli family is this enlightened steward of this great and hallowed tradition. But its James Bond. It has been rarely more than shallow entertainment, and at its worst is dated, sexist, and tasteless.

Also, while I understand everyone piling on Amazon for producing bad or mediocre shows (Rings of Power), they do have a number of pretty solid shows as well (Fleabag, Fallout, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, partially The Expanse, etc.). It is not as if other streaming networks are only producing solid hits.
