That makes sense. I know youtube has added channel memberships as a built-in now, but it doesn't seem easy to toss a one-time payment outside of livestream superchats. And even that isn't particularly use based.
`push_bind` covers a good deal of the concerns for a query builder, while letting us think in SQL instead of translating.

That said, an ORM like ActiveRecord also handles joins across related tables, and helps avoid N+1 queries, while still writing consistent access to fields.

I find myself missing ActiveRecord frequently. I know SeaORM aims to address this space, but I don't think it's there yet.
I think this is the most productive mindset. All of the costs thus far are sunk, the only move forward is to learn and adjust.

This is a net win for nearly everyone.

The world needs more tokens and we are learning that we can create higher quality tokens with fewer resources than before.

Finger pointing is a very short term strategy.
In London, you also have the Piccadilly line depending upon where you're going and how much luggage you have (many of the London tube stations are pretty awful in terms of accessibility as I discovered on a trip where I had heavier luggage than normal last year).
Larry Ellison is 80. Masayoshi Son is 67. Both have said that anti-aging and eternal life is one of their main goals with investing toward ASI.

For them it's worth it to use their own wealth and rally the industry to invest $500 billion in GPUs if that means they will get to ASI 5 years faster and ask the ASI to give them eternal life.
> It’s definitely worrying to see this type of technology in the hands of an authoritarian dictatorship

What do you think they will do with the AI that worries you? They already had access to Llama, and they could pay for access to the closed source AIs. It really wouldn't be that hard to pay for and use what's commercially available as well, even if there is embargo or whatever, for digital goods and services that can easily be bypassed

Wow - I'm surprised Krita has been in development that long. It just qualitatively feels much more modern than GIMP. Maybe it's because I focus more on drawing making heavy use of the brush system which IMHO is significantly better in Krita.
“Made up claptrap” needs to be quantified a bit.
Good point, even though copying strings isn't hard. Figuring out where in the string to inject new parts isn't always as easy. You end up with `select_part`, `where_part`, etc.
The article gives an example of how apps are usually benchmarked with log queries. But in a real world scenario wouldn't you just analyze what the app is actually doing and see whether what fraction it actually waits for IO, waits for sync primitives, or something else? Why do logging for this? It's the performance equivalent of printf debugging.

I'm no city planner, but I would definitely connect the Amrtak station with the University of Arizona and on the other end make it reach the edge of downtown.

The rest of the city is really spread out with all those detached houses, so I'm out of ideas but then again my city put a subway station in such a location and it serves a whopping fifteen hundred people daily - that's one subway car, but at the same time appropriately a thousand fewer cars on the road. Still worth it in my book.

> I hate nearly every single thing about the MacOS UX. The dock is awful, and so many insane defaults all over the place. Hiding scrollbars is a bug, not a feature. Pointer acceleration is a bug, not a feature. The scroll wheel operating in reverse is a bug, not a feature.

Yeah, me too. And I kinda hate how Gnome followed that path and made the same mistakes what Apple did. I am in trouble every time I need to use the UI. It is just very unintuitive and I get quite annoyed with it if I need to use it for longer periods. The small scrollbars, the dock, how useless Finder feels like after Dolphin...

If that's all it was, there'd be no distinction at all.

Men, broadly, have plenty of "relationships" that they invest themselves in and are extremely loyaly to.

What the study was about, and the discussion is about, is emotional support, and that quality is often not seen (or at least acknowledged) in the intense, loyal, committed, and earnestly worked on relationships that men do form, because its only one quality among a whole plethora that might define a relationship.

That's a very valuable insight. Thank you.
As others have said, this is exactly what many large orgs do, but in a slightly higher-tech / more polished way with tools like Storybook, essentially creating their own CSS libraries and component libraries.

IMO a decent analogy is that Tailwind is to the above as something like Shopify is to being large enough to build your own ecommerce platform from scratch.
Edit: as others have noted, the HTTP referer is not really useful most of the time - if at all (though legitimate, known good referrers may exist).

So what's left is 1) filing a DMCA request with their registrar and 2) hosting provider, 3) checking offending inbound links and using Google’s Disavow Links tool. And if they're plagiarizing some contents, also 4) asking Google to remove infringing pages from their index. I had to do the latter a few years ago.
There's no reason you have to connect the secondary to earth at all. This is how a lot of medical equiment (under IEC 60601) and test equipment (under IEC 61010) is designed. If earthing it makes everything worse, just don't do it.

The NEC might or might not have something silly to say about that, but when you have a giant custom-built Faraday cage, I think most people will be understanding that you might choose to call it "equipment" (and thus, for example, claim that 61010 applies) rather than "building wiring" (so not NFPA 70).

You can also earth things in some really weird ways. My favorite was to connect the secondary to earth through a 12V bidirectional TVS diode. Apparently this stops a lot of nuisance issues while still allowing serious currents to flow. Unfortunately, you want a bigass TVS to do this, and those are rather capacitive. So you still end up with RF issues. (No, you cannot use this to make an arc fault detector. Or at least, I couldn't do it.)

Electrostatically shielded transformers are not really stock items. You will usually have to get them custom-built and they will usually end up as expensive, higher-performing C-type cores. Shoutout to Triad Magnetics for being very nice to work with as a custom magnetics vendor on that horrid project even though the project was cursed and we ended up going with someone else (which we should have known a lot earlier and not strung you guys along, but engineering and management had different aims there...), right up until it got cancelled.

Ask HN: What's the best way to de-Google photos?
After a little over a year of having a kid, I've run out of google storage (photos/drive/mail). I have a pixel phone and like the automatic backup to photos... however, for years I've considered using that as a short-term backup, since I don't trust google not to nuke my account or lock me out. There have been so many instances of that (many posted here), that I don't trust Google with irreplaceable data. Google's storage limits forcing me to figure something out have finally given me the kick I needed to detach myself from their services.

My ideal scenario is:

1. Automatic (periodic is fine)

2. Includes a local backup to physical media

3. Includes a cloud backup to some kind of cheap cold storage

4. Allows the pixel -> photos pipeline to keep running, since it's a convenient way to share albums with family. So I need to be able to automatically delete old google photos (to clear space) while also being able to mark albums as un-deleteable.

I started going down the rabbit hole of designing something myself using google takeout, or photos APIs, etc, and thought that maybe someone on HN has already put together an elegant solution.
Maybe explain your stack and why it’s expensive I can help suggest saving strategies.

Debt is short a put. The shareholders can walk away from a default and you are stuck with whatever the company is worth. So the more enterprise value vs the debt, the safer.
Rename to equally reasonable variable names, or to intentionally misleading or meaningless ones? Good naming is one of the best ways to make reading unfamiliar code easier for people, don't see why actual AGI wouldn't also get tripped up there.

The problem in The Big Short was that lenders bundled many loans with correlated risk and advertised the resulting bundle as less risky. Because of the demand for these bundles they issued and bundled increasingly risky loans as time went on. Eventually when the market corrected all of these loans defaulted at the same time.

It does if the spend drives GPU prices so high that more researchers can't afford to use them. And DS demonstrated what a small team of researchers can do with a moderate amount of GPUs.
I don’t get the point of this article. Just reading the samples, I strongly dislike this query builder because it looks flaky and difficult to parse by eye. And the examples get worse and worse.

This isn’t an argument against query builders, that just seems like an argument to make your query builder easier to use and understand. I wouldn’t argue against programming languages by picking bad C++ libraries.

Depends on compression, I think 24gb can hold a 32B at around 3b-4b compression.
wow. this is very true and I never thought it that way before. I'm an old school ruby on rails web app dev and I never liked the one main div and then DOM manipulation on the same page for every click. Some react devs literally don't even know that HTML can be rendered server side.
Depends on the quant used and the context size. On a 24gb card you should be able to load about a 5 bit if you keep the context small.

In general, if you're using 8bit which is virtually lossless, any dense model will require roughly the same amount as the number of params w/ a small context, and a bit more as you increase context.
Here are the reasons:

- Electricity in Texas is extremely cheap;

- The legal framework and current ruling Texas government is supportive of it;

- Cronyism: The AI companies/execs are in bed with Texas' red neck government;

- The US doesn't care about destroying the environment by the impact of the cooling necessary to run this;

Would you risk doing this in Michigan/Washington or a colder state? Or in California where taxes are hella high and 'woke'?

Texas is the best place you could do this.
The cost of having excess compute is less than the cost of not having enough compute to be competitive. Because of demand, if you realize you your current compute is insufficient there is a long turnaround to building up your infrastructure, at which point you are falling behind. All the major players are simultaneously working on increasing capabilities and reducing inference cost. What they aren’t optimizing is their total investments in AI. The cost of over-investment is just a drag on overall efficiency, but the cost of under-investment is existential.

I think most people would agree that some imbalance is natural, perhaps even good but the current level is bad.

Bad, that the only net positive part of the entire UK comes from London and it's dependent, the SE.

It's clearly caused societal issues and apart from everything else means we're putting all our eggs in one basket. Transporting goods, energy and people into London from all over the UK is clearly worse than if we spread it around a bit.
All of these are simple, almost unrealistic queries. Show me how to handle optional joins in the filter.

> My naive-self in the past used to create a fancy custom deserializer function that transformed 11,22,33,44 from a String into a Vec<i64> and that is useless work that could have easily been handled by the database.

Great, now the database has no idea what the cardinality of the IN clause is and has to generate a sub-optimal plan, because it could be 1 or it could be 10000.

The same for a lot of the other examples.
The DS team themselves suggest large amounts of compute are still required

Using the OR approach can actually cause some headaches. It can cause SQL Server to make an suboptimal plan for the other queries which have the same query text but due to the parameters behave completely different.

Great idea in principle, however...

In the early 1980's, the ZX81 was the poverty specification machine. Rich kids had their fancy BBC Micro Model B, Atari 800, C64 or other proper machine, in a heated study room, with dependable electricity and other niceties.

Working class kids had the ZX Spectrum, Vic 20 or, if their grandma got the memo wrong, something like a Dragon 32 or Oric 1, which counted them out of the games swapping world of the playground.

Poor kids had the ZX81 and really poor kids had the ZX81 that you had to make yourself, the kit-form version that was £20 cheaper. Or failing that, a hand-me-down ZX80 or a Microbrain thing with just a hex keypad and a few LEDs.

Hence, although it might seem a great idea to make a ZX81 nowadays, for the British poor kid, it comes with the stigma, the reminder that it was you that had the kit-form ZX81, with no heated study room, and no 16K of RAM.
Berlin is odd... for several factors. Just looking at the last 100 years, I fail to see any capital (that was not directly a war zone) be: not capital, capital, divided, part of 2 countries, an exclave...
Perhaps, but over enough data pattern matching can becomes generalization ...

One of the interesting DeepSeek-R results is using a 1st generation (RL-trained) reasoning model to generate synthetic data (reasoning traces) to train a subsequent one, or even "distill" into a smaller model (by fine tuning the smaller model on this reasoning data).

Maybe "Data is all you need" (well, up to a point) ?
