This word is so gross I find any foods described using it as immediately and viscerally less palatable.

I love kombucha, but my sense memory did a gross little convolution for a second.

The concept of this word is important and otherwise hard to convey, but it's such a weird word.

Because no-one, especially the kind of person who's into open-source, uses printers often enough for the problems to bother them, and because the existing commercial products are highly optimised and effective.
>the fact that it has a time zone, but actually doesn't have a time zone is absolutely crazytown.

It's always seemed reasonable to me. Sure, "TIMESTAMP WITH UTC OFFSET" would be even clearer -- but, as has been pointed out already, there are 2 valid ways you might want to handle time addition/subtraction, and only one of those ways enables addition to be done without pure speculation on what decisions will be made by political entities in the future, and PostgreSQL does it that way.
I might be one of today's luck ten thousand.

Suppose you're writing an OS for a modern computer. You have full access to the subset of hardware actually exposed to you. You have a single process (having not yet done anything with IPI, APIC, ...) so far. I think two things are true, and I'm much more confident about the first one:

1. If you write to a region of RAM, then at any point in the future (ignoring hardware failures) if you read that same region you'll read the value you wrote, unless you issue write instructions to that same region first.

2. If you read from a region of RAM, then at any point in the future (ignoring hardware failures) if you read that same region you'll read the value you previously read, unless you issue write instructions to that same region first.

Caches matter, but they're hidden from software, except where that hiding is too expensive (hence, atomics and whatnot for you to synchronize between processes).

Is my view of the world too simplistic? Is there some way in which those caches are even more poorly behaved than I imagined?
All life is due respect and consideration. Of course, a human life gets the maximum consideration, and an insect life much less. Plant life even less, but some.

Capability to feel pain doesn’t have anything to do with this, in my mind.
This site, man.
I still don't understand why they have to mix definitions to confuse developers, and we on top of that apparently have to give up on the true meaning of FOSS. What's so hard about using the term "open weights" or some new term instead of trying to reuse FOSS terms they don't abide to?
I have a very different view. I think quality takes effort, and unless you are extremely gifted, or extremely practiced as a writer (i.e., you've done it professionally for years) what you write as a first draft is probably terrible.

As such, if you actually want to produce text worth reading, you'll need to spend (a lot of) time editing and critiquing each draft you write.

I also think the world abounds with supposedly quirky people, who think that that is enough. It is (almost certainly) not enough.

Unless you are incredibly unusual and individualistic, your quirckyness is not sufficient to make your work worth reading. The problem is that there are lots of interesting, unusual and deep people, and some of them also spend a huge amount of time and effort on the craft of writing.
In that case, may I recommend a completely ... different type of experience?

Show HN: I Built a Directory for MVP Developers
I’m excited to introduce MVP Builders, a brand-new directory designed to connect startups and entrepreneurs with top-tier MVP developers and agencies. If you’re building a startup and need a reliable team to bring your idea to life, or if you’re an MVP developer looking for more clients, this is for you!

Let me know if you will add your profile, it's currently free though

Not that surprising if you take n8n license into account. Its very prohibitive.
Personally I haven't used FB messenger for years now because WhatsApp and Signal serve my use case. When people messaged me on FB I immediately switched to e-mail or some other messenger. I haven't used FB marketplace, but I'm pretty sure that is something that does not require social media at all.

The one thing that I don't see a good replacement for at the moment is event management because it inherently requires visibility to many people. As a musician I have been advertizing by events on FB (together with good ol' newsletters). Conversely, I have found out about many cool local events I would have missed otherwise. I'm using past tense because I have deactivated my FB since. (Meta sucking up to Trump broke the last straw for me.)
Can we take a moment to appreciate this design? This is probably the closest to those movie hacks that we're ever going to get.

>Demand for NVDA chips will go down, and likely will take a long time before Jevon's Paradox kicks in.

I expect Jevons Paradox effect to start immediately. Small businesses and enterprises are likely wanting to order DGX systems for internal inference. OpenAI and larger AI labs will want to put a bigger distance between themselves and Chinese AI models by using compute muscle and advantage. All AI labs see the same efficiency benefit so they will have to continue to compete on compute capacity.
I think you're misreading the situation by treating it as 'all or nothing'.

If I'm not mistaken, it's common for a legal team to analyze documents in an hierarchical fashion. A less senior person reads and highlights part of a document, and later a more senior one carefully analyze those points. The 'easy' part of the job that is the target for automation.

As for the verification of customer documents, oh boy, I've seem some stuff first hand and I can tell you that they are definitely not that careful.

I could never get Hidden Bar to work correctly. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I ran Hidden Bar for months and the hidden icons only became visible left of the notch after clicking > maybe twice, briefly, and I could never figure out what I did differently.

Because programs can not register an icon to minimize the apps to the menubar app while providing core functionality and info via a context menu and tooltips, at least AFAIK.
I appreciate your viewpoint here, and the sibling comment also. However, how does one practically not get an extreme version where everyone has their own feed. Speaking very personally -- here are my interests:

photography, brooklyn, coffee, health-tech, health-ai, fin-tech, finance, quant, bears, cats, calico cats, ucberkeley stats alums, genai in marketing, generative-ai created music, east coast gangster rap

There is no one community for all these. There are not even individual communities for each of these, some are too specific.

Yes, there are random slack instances (e.g., for ucberkely dept alumni) and random boards (quants and poets for finance) but social media provides a giant funnel for everything and hashtags let me focus on long-tail items of interest. I've carefully curated my account follows and hashtag follows over years.
Woah. Ok, that model totally blew my mind. I never understood what angular momentum had anything to do with it, but the gyroscope analogy makes total sense. Thank you!
Define dramatically with numbers. From all the sources I've read, it was so significant and also run on a far more limited cluster and the results are as good as the other frontier models. Optimizations have been coming, I think the one or more they found were significantly larger.
Ah right.

Moderna was on the verge of bankruptcy because not one in the company’s history did one of their or any other mRNA trial make it past trials. Not a single one to pass phase 3 trials, before COVID.

Go ahead. Fact check me.
How common is it for operating systems to do anything other than this:

1. Initially map the not-yet-written page to a read-only page full of zeros (the same one for all allocations: only one exists in the whole system).

2. When a write takes place, copy-on-write clone that page to a newly allocated zero-filled-page, then allow the write to proceed.
The problem with those API breaks, for me, is that it may be non trivial to work around them.

Most of the open source SQLite encryption extensions have not, for the most part, been able to work around the broken APIs, and are still stuck in the last version of SQLite that supported them.

And it's not for lack of effort. There's one exception that moved to the public VFS API, while retaining the ability to load previously encrypted databases. But it was a big effort, and there are compromises involved.

Good enough for what?

Mastering a recording for money?

Listening to MP3’s through headphones?

Or something in between?

Consumer audio devices do all kinds of psycho-acoustic adjustment based on the likely limitations of playback systems, likely music genres, and consumer expectations.

Headphones and small speakers are going to sound thin without them…i.e. a transparent system is going to try to reproduce sounds that most speakers can’t output.

None of which is to say your new system sounds good or bad. Just that what sounds good is subjective and context dependent.
You don't need to blame every file[1]. Use `git rev-list` to find your oldest commit:

git rev-list --reverse --date-order HEAD | head -1 # or
git rev-list --reverse --author-date-order HEAD | head -1

To see the files in that commit:

git ls-tree -lr <commit-id>

To see a particular file:

git show <commit-id>:/path/to/file # or
git cat-file -p <commit-id>:/path/to/file

As a US outsider (Australia) I see the Tulsi Gabbard hearing has stirred a barely tangential can of worms re: disclosure and keeping secrets.

It's national security related, Was Snowden a traitor or a whistleblower and pokes the bear on whistleblowers and duty to disclose poor and outright illegal behaviour.

Not sure if that's your beat or interest as a reporer .. but it goes to a core issue wt public institutions.

As others have said, this is a solved problem in a lot of companies. Basic answers are:
1. Queuing
2. Asynchronous APIs (don't wait for the 'real' response, just submit the transaction)
3. Call-backs to the Client

A good async setup can easily handle 100k+ TPS

If you want to go the synchronous route, it's more complicated but amounts to partitioning and creating separate swim-lanes (copies of the system, both at the compute and data layers)
There is a belief that we've peaked in terms of bigger model = better results. I think it was GPT 4 is actually smaller in parameter count and better than 3.5 for instance. There is also a finite amount of useful data that people think we have hit, so adding more parameters isn't helpful if you don't have new data to train them on.

I think ultimately the goal of such questions is assessing qualia for different beings, but I think sentience is a low bar for this assessment. The underlying assumption is that if something feels pain, then it must have an inner mental state, or consciousness.

But many organisms demonstrate behaviors which are reactive to stimuli, and can be called sentient, but those organisms don’t necessarily possess cognitive abilities which demonstrate self-consciousness. I disagree that sentience should ever have been included as determinant of consciousness, and only demonstrating self-consciousness defines an inner mental state that is more than just a sum of chemical reactivity. So, I don’t think insects have any awareness other than impulses driven by genetic programming.

That said, insects of all types, including mosquitoes, sustain ecosystems through their existence, which are vital for food chains and so on. I don’t think insect control should be put off necessarily because insects feel pain (because they don’t feel pain in the way that a self-aware animal does), but because overdoing insect control can ruin ecosystems which people need to live.

Hmm yeah but I also pay taxes for things I don't use. And most people do have a telly.

But yes I agree it's not so important especially in this day and age. I don't even have a TV connection anymore. And haven't had for 7 years. I just watch streaming.
Agreed. `tee` without any flags is essentially a no-op and doesn’t have much use, whereas teemoji does. This feels more like `nl` in the sense that it outputs its STDIN with something prepended. But with the additional support for splitting the stream, in which case its STDOUT is unmodified like tee.

I still absolutely love this project. It’s inspired me to play around with CoreML.

I think you're overly generous in calling this an "edge case". I do not think it uncommon at all, what we hear about are those who are too stupid to remain uncaught.
Marvin Minsky promised that an AI would have a PhD, by 1950, and 1960... we are no closer. sorry. We are faster, much faster, 100,000,000 times faster, by we are no closer.
>I have heard this claim frequently, that intelligence is "embodied" in a way that computers overlook, but if that turns out to be critical, well, who is to say that something like this "embodied" context can't also be modeled computationally?

Well, Searle argued against it when presenting the case for the Chinese Room argument, but I disagree with their take.

I personally believe in the virtual mind argument with an internal simulated experience that is then acted upon externally.

Moreso, if this is the key to human like intelligence and learning in the real world, I do believe that AI would very quickly pass by our limitations. Humans are not only embodied, but we are prisoners to our embodiment and we only get one. I don't see any particular reason why a model would be trapped to one body, when they could 'hivemind' or control a massive number of bodies/sensors to sense and interact with the environment. The end product would be an experience far different from what a human experiences and would likely be a super organism in itself.

That theory doesn't make too much sense; if they were both in on the scam and aware of the printer metadata, surely they would have asked for a different version before signing their name to it.

Knowing the time doesn't tell you which side of the planet it will impact. The asteroid and the Earth are both moving.

Hm, tried this on a Mac but something must be askew - it returned a commit by me in 2022 in a repo that has existed since at least 2017.
Peter Godfrey-Smith discusses this topic at length in his recent-ish book Metazoa and uses observations of insects and other invertebrates to argue, compellingly in my opinion, that sentience and cognitive abilities are not intrinsically linked, but rather depend on the specific organism's evolutionary/reproductive strategies.

Most insects do not exhibit the classic signs of pain responses (the new findings discussed in this New Yorker article, notwithstanding). For example insects generally don't groom or guard an amputated limb. This puzzling (lack of) response can be explained as being aligned with their reproductive strategy: they reach breeding age quickly and die soon after. Thus, it's better not to waste energy avoiding limb loss for a future that won't happen.

Despite this lack of sentience, insects can be quite intelligent and learn complex cues and behaviors. Other invertebrates that look superficially like insects, prawns for example, have quite different life cycles and lifespans and often do exhibit signs of pain / sentience.

Basically pain/sentience emerge when there is a reason for the organism to protect the body from damage, and does not evolve (or is subsequently lost!) when there are more important short term goals. One wonders, for example, whether salmon experience pain when they fling their bodies up rivers, over and onto rocks, damaging them horribly in the process: all for purposes of spawning.
For the benefit of who? It wasn't a good idea to use Twitter for politics in the first place because you're inherently tying your identity to a business that doesn't hold the same principles you do. It was bad when Dorsey owned it and now it's a dumpster fire under new leadership.

I'd guess that management is hoping that you've got some Right Stuff, to lift your new team's performance out of the basement.

But what about the "two experts are already prominent as leaders" on your new team? Were they there when that team was building its "we are crap" reputation? Are they technical experts, who aren't really capital-L leadership material? Are there personality clashes, and maybe those guys need to be separated? Or, given the fired director, might management be looking to put a fresh set of trusted eyes (you) into the situation, to let 'em know what the problems on that team are?

I feel like you could do even better than chilies/ginger for replicating the burn. The burn from chilies feels completely different than the burn from alcohol, because ethanol is much more volatile than capsaicin. Plausibly, using a more volatile TRPV1 agonist such as allyl isothiocyanate (from horseradish/mustard) would produce an even closer effect.
Yeah, I feel like this should have been implemented solely as a single-in/single-out stream modifier. Then if you want to output to both a file and stdout, you can `command | emojify | tee`, or `command | tee | emojify` if you want to keep the file clean. Or if you want to emojify without splitting the stream (which I suspect would be the most common use case) you don't have to worry about the tee aspect at all.
