My highest rated HN link was a sarcastic troll post about the MacBook Touch Bar in 2016. Nothing I have written since has even gotten close to the same level of attention. Someone reposted a more recent article from my blog over the weekend that gathered 4 upvotes and a few hundred views. It's nice to be noticed but I don't live for attention.

I think that unless you want to form a cabal to get something on the front page, there is a great deal of luck in what takes off on HN (and other similar sites). Unless a post quickly gets those all-important few dozen upvotes it will languish on the second or third page wastelands.
How do you "copy" something like that if OpenAI did not disclose any of the details?
Bambu lab printers are truly awesome in terms of what they can do for a very reasonable price. Having said that, I have never upgraded mine nor have I ever connected it to the internet and never will. Nor will I update it. If it takes me 15 minutes to get an ssh client running on an esp8266 that can connect to an
poorly secured server and execute shell commands, there is no way I'm letting a proprietary chinese hardware and software anywhere near my home network. But this is just a side hobby of mine, so I can live with carrying around an SD card. But I can see how something like that can be a major blow to business owners. I am not entirely sure if this blog post is just a response or sneaky backpedaling from bambu labs after the backlash they received over the last few days.
BTW I really enjoyed your recent open letter

Most things that are new but not working can be solved by "I should try this again later" after the landscape has changed a little, whether that's supporting technologies, how receptive your market is, if your market even exists yet.
This stuff isn’t gonna stop until we regulate it.

I bought a miku baby monitor specifically because they were the only manufacturer that had the feature I wanted that promised to never charge monthly fees to use it.

Well then they went bankrupt and a company bought them, forced an over the air update that disabled every feature that made the thing worth buying (for $399), and sent out a letter demanding monthly payment to reenable the “advanced” features.

Market forces won’t fix this. Recurring revenue is just too tempting. It also doesn’t matter how well intentioned a company is, the moment they go out of business, someone will buy their assets and force monthly fees on their former customers.
I consider that book/trilogy/fiveology to be canon and nothing can convince me otherwise
Jobs got his start in a tiny industry (tech was decently big already, but PCs were not) poised on the edge of massive growth as technology got to the point where you could build machines people would actually buy. And there was a huge moat, as the necessary talent was rare. And even within that rare talent, Jobs had the unique advantage of being able to partner with Woz.

Nothing you can do today with a typical HN skill set will come even close to that. There are thousands (at least) of people with those skills. They can build it too, whatever it is. You’re not Woz and you don’t know a Woz. Likely there is no Woz today; everything computing is so much more specialized and complicated and layered and just plain big. You may be able to find success in this world, but it won’t be replicating the Jobs story.
I find it highly implausible that Meta doesn't have the resources to obtain these legally. They could have reached out to a publisher and ask to purchase ebooks in bulk - and if that publisher says no, tough shit. The media ecosystem doesn't exist for Big Tech to extract value from it!

"It would take a lot of effort to do it legally" is a pathetic excuse for a company of Meta's size.
OrcaSlicer is a fork of Bambu's slicer. It defeats the whole impetus of the project to not support Bambu Lab printers.

Yes, that’s why I said at the outset that the CCP doesn’t run a communist country. That’s also a pretty funny idea; the CCP is cultivating a brutal capitalism to encourage a worker revolution into socialism against, uhh, themselves? By this logic the US is communist.
That is not "Roman Salute" in first place.

"... commonly considered a symbol of fascism that had been based on a custom popularly attributed to ancient Rome.[1] However, no Roman text gives this description, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern so-called "Roman" salute."

To be fair, having seen his software evolve, and having seen ROCm evolve, I'm more optimistic for his software in a year than yours.

He picked his problem better. The whole reason that tinygrad is, well, tiny, is that it limits the amount of overhead to onboard people and perform maintenance and rewrites. My strong impression is that the ROCm codebase is simply much too large for AMD's dev resources. You're trying to race NVidia on their turf with less resources. It's brave, but foolish.

I can see how Tinygrad could succeed. The story makes sense. AMD's doesn't, neither logically nor empirically. NVidia would have to seriously fumble.
I think that is pitfall of software devs.

For me it was an epiphany as software dev - not to write reusable extensible scripts - I am so much more productive after that.
Hi Peter! Thanks for doing this.

I'm a college dropout working as a SWE at one of the FAANG companies in Europe.

I understand that there are two paths I can take -- getting transferred by my company on an L-1B or try to compensate a degree with 12+ years of experience for an H1-B. Do you have any tips for people without degrees from what you've seen in practice? How often do you see people without a degree getting any of the visas?

Is there any chance I can get an o1 if I have a really good resume (10+ YOE, half of it at very-well-known companies)?
That isn't true. israel is an apartheid state, there are many documentaries showing their treatment of people who are non-Jews as second or third class citizens, or even Jews who have a darker skin color. We saw how they force steralized Etheopian jews for instance. We saw how they literally spit on christians.

> But if they feel that Bambu Lab is stabbing them in the back, they don't have to jump when Bambu Lab tells them to (that's pretty much the raison d'être of open source).

The raison d'être of Orca Slicer is to slice files for 3D printers. They don't manufacture printers. They have no raison d'être if they don't support one of the major players in the 3D printing space.
But they had to start from scratch. How many engineers who know how to build EV motors do you think where sitting around at GM between 1996 and 2020 doing nothing? Exactly zero.

Do you think GM has been developing EV motors and batteries since 1996 and just never used them for anything? That is ridiculous. All of the people there had to start from zero when designing EVs.

There is no advantage of having had an idea but abandoning it 25 years ago.

If anything Chinese EV companies had an advantage as getting specialist in producing batteries and motors is surely easier if your country is one of the biggest manufacturers.

What of course is true is that GM could have had 25 years of development advantage, but chose to abandon that idea. This does not conflict at all with my point that they did not have that advantage, as they did not continue to make EVs.
Honestly had never even heard of it! But adult language acquisition isn't really a domain of study I've ever been interested in. I can only speak to what I have found most helpful in my own adult language acquisition journeys. The journaling method was taught to me by a polyglot friend of mine and it sort of solved the "what actually is my everyday vocabulary anyway" side of language learning for me.
And the modern generation of tech industrialists? Probably not a coincidence either.

Though technically universities are more than just their endowments, business schools, engineering schools, sports teams, etc. They often have pretty good libraries, for example. Many universities also provide a variety of educational and course materials for free over the internet. Some train physicians and operate hospitals. And many universities have at least some minimal diversity of opinion on politics and policies.

The idea that elite universities produce elite university graduates is probably not controversial, and many of them were founded with the idea of producing "leaders", which they have arguably done.
In areas with moderate outdoor temperatures. Anywhere that the heatpump is going through defrost cycles, that statement is likely false because the COP is likely 1 or less when that starts happening.

Then on the generation side, its worse if the NG generation isn't a modern combined cycle plant. which also tends to nix places with a lot of renewable generation because the NG plants are just peaker gas turbines with much lower efficiency than plants designed for continuous use. So, its all situational, but at the same time if one has the choice for cheap NG using that as a second stage and setting the crossover heatpump temperature at the cost/BTU intersection between the heatpump and NG second stage is a rough approximation of the enviromental costs as well as the actual cost.

The same amount of money is worth less in the future than it is in the present because it can grow even at a risk free rate.

Yes, I need some of my money now to pay my expenses. But if you had 200K extra to invest in 2010 and chose to invest it and instead chose to work somewhere paying $200K less than you could have thinking I can make $200K more in 14 years. You would have lost out on 605% returns.
I have also had it and it tastes like drain cleaner with the texture of angry spam. Only a third of a bottle of Brennivin made the whole experience even remotely enjoyable.
Yes & no, definitely more no for practical reasons. Let me explain;

ATC are ultimately expected to know about restrictions and keep traffic away from them.

NOTAM's are a notorious pain point for nearly all pilots. Modern EFB's make that easier, but in the 121 world - the ops folks handle your routing and plan for that stuff - as a pilot you "trust but verify", and most skim through the all the things (routing, fuels, weather, pax/cargo, notams, SIDS/STARS etc) to make sure that the flight is doable, it's doable safely, and it's "legal".

What you're expecting is a pilot to have a read a NOTAM, memorised all the latitude / longitude co-ordinates that are in the NOTAM for the "grid" that's off limits, and the associated altitudes, know exactly where that is in relation to where they are, and then be able to ask ATC about it a few hours into their flight, when the instruction could be as benign as "Delta 100, turn right heading 040".

Chances are the original routing for the flight kept them safely out of the TFR, but the ATC instruction for whatever sent them through it, even briefly. That instruction could've been for any number of reasons, from weather to traffic, to sequencing to even sidestepping a different restriction of some kind.

Very well said, it's amazing how many people don't see this.
There's conduit as an alternative implementation in rust, but Matrix being what it is, you won't be able to use the newer clients with it, and federation will be glitchy. This ecosystem of a single vendor deciding the fate of the clients, server and protocol has been unhealthy for too long..

I decided it was a bad thing when they sent password reset emails to addresses given by unauthenticated users. Not that I ever used them. But now it is a hard no, permanently.

They have since had other also severe CVEs. That has made me feel pretty confident in my decision.

WWII, sure. Cold War, fat chance - the USSR was defeated by the mujahideen and then succeeded by Yeltsin and a bald ape that killed 800,000 trained men to take 1/3rd of Ukraine.

Most corps these don't want to deal with the hassle of VLANs and black holes for insecure devices.
Very nicely written! I would like to emphasize two things:

1. We have passed 1.5C last year, that's something we have measured. And because of this "lag effect" (inertia), this is the result of the emissions from decades ago. Which means that even if we stop emitting entirely tomorrow, it will keep on warming for decades.

2. We all know that the dinosaurs disappeared. What we don't always realise, though, is that the climate change that drove their extinction happened orders of magnitude slower than what we are measuring now. Some like to refer to something catastrophic as "what happened to the dinosaurs"... well what we are measuring now is a lot worse.
Working as intended! The arrs make everything a lot easier.
Um, akshually, I do know about this. I've launched balloons to 100,000', and part of the proper procedure for doing this is to notify ATC. Depending on the type of balloon and equipment, you might have to contact them multiple times during the course of the balloon's flight. At a minimum, it is at launch and once you have it on the ground again. I had to notify when our balloon was above controlled air space on ascent, and then again when it was descending and ETA on re-entering controlled air space. We were near an air force base, and ATC relayed our reports to them as well
> Developer mode is just "how it works today" mode.

For LAN mode yes, but for how the printer works — not exactly. Right now you can print from a 3rd party slicer (Orca Slicer) and at the same time use Bambu Handy mobile app to for example monitor the print. LAN mode disables the cloud connection (always has). Which means that with the revised changes you have to choose either a 3rd party slicer _or_ active cloud connection

I had to do a lot of googling before I sort of understood this, so for future readers: these people figured out how to create tiny lenses using the same photolithography machines that are used currently used to create microchips (I-line stepper. I-line refers to a specific wavelength of UV light—365nm, and the stepper is the machine that focuses it on the silicon wafer)

IANAL, but in short: "If you exploit my work to generate stuff, then I get to use or give-away what you made too. If you later stop exploiting my work and forget to tell me, then that's your problem."

Yes, we haven't managed to eradicate a two-tiered justice system where the wealthy and powerful get to break the rules... But still, it would be cool to develop some IP-lawyer-vetted approach like this for anyone to use, some boilerplate ToS and agree-button implementation guidelines.
The lesson is "move fast and break things is much less fun when we have to pay for things we broke".
Sexual abuse. Not rape. The distinction is extremely important. Now that I know he is only a sexual abuser and not a rapist I support him.

You can come on L1B and then try to get into the H1B lottery (will be tough since you don't have a US degree - I assume). I decided to go with L1B since H1B was impossible to get back then and the timeline worked in my favor.

I came to the US via L1B but went straight into green card. Unfortunately EB2 ROW is backlogged at the moment so you might be looking at 2-3 years. And if your company does lay off, they'd have to pause the PERM process for 6 months, which will add further delays to your timeline.

Future elections... I would say he is.
Given that Trump actually won Pennsylvania by 2%, he's casually bragging about something that isn't actually true - at least the "in a landslide" part isn't true.

But then, Musk knowing vote counting computers better than anyone isn't true either (though Musk may be arrogant enough to think it is).

So I think this is just Trump throwing out fact-free hot air that he thinks makes him look good.
I disagree. This thread seems to be about LLMs on a fundamental level.

You don't need to. You can use their Bambu Connect client in LAN mode.

Or you can turn off security and use "developer mode", aka. "how things work today" mode, if you want to do things the old / insecure way.
