I've not even heard Russian sources refer to it as the "war against Ukraine"! Typically it's the "special military operation" or something to the effect of a war against a dictator or Western interests or something. Never "war against Ukraine". One does not fight a war against a country whose people one believes want to one to annex them.

Linux still doesn't have a lot of one to one equivalents for Microsoft software. If Mr Smith in accounting likes using QuickBooks and Excel, you can't just tell him it's time to switch to libre office.

I definitely think Linux is better for personal usage, but I don't expect most companies to ever realistically roll it out to every desktop.

I added a pic to the original comment, sorry for not being clear!
Presume for the sake of example, a satellite costs 100 million to build and place into orbit and needs to be replaced every 5 years. During the life span of the satellite, it makes 1 million per year, growing 10% per year.

In a more typical accounting system, You would divide the cost of replacement by the lifespan and get that the satellite "costs" 20 million per year, but only earns 1 million the first year, leading to a net loss of 19 million.

With EBITDA, you treat the satellite as a fixed up front cost and then year 1 comes and you made a million dollars! You're in the green! Year 2, you made 1.1 million! Up and to the right we go!

This works great until year 6 when the satellite needs replacement. But with fancy accounting magic, you put the capital costs to replace into a different bucket and can claim that your satellites are money printing machines!

...your true issue is it seems like you're using the filesystem as the "only" storage layer in play, but you also need time and entity querying(!?!).

>> we need to be able to query on a per sensor basis and a timespan

...look at the "Cloud-Tier" wiki page. If you're truly in an "everything's hot all the time" situation, you really should be using a database. If you're pulling "usually recent stuff, occasionally old stuff" then fronting with something like SeaweedFS seems like it might "just" transparently reduce your overall costs.

Really, I'd nudge towards "write .txt ; compact ... ; SELECT ... && cat .txt".

Basically, keep your inbound writes cached to (eg) seaweed as unit files. "Compact them" every hour by appending rows to some appropriate database (I mean: migrate to using litefs, turso, postgres, something like that). When you read, you may need to supplement "tip" data from your incoming files, but the majority should be hitting a "real" remote database, there's plenty to choose from!

A nifty note, sqlite can connect to multiple DB's at once: https://www.sqlite.org/lang_attach.html ... https://stackoverflow.com/posts/10020/revisions

...something like `select * from raw union (select * from one_hour) union (select * from today) union (select * from historical) ...`
Besides that I don't think that the prediction thing is a bad thing, there should be an argument that depending on the architecture there can be a self discovery of rules though compression.

The compression leads to rules which could feel like understanding.

People say 'ah it's just a parrot repeating statically most common words' like this alone makes it unimpressive, which it doesn't. Not when an LLM responds to you like it does

If that basic thing talks like a human, why would be a human be something different?

Intelligence isn't that also correlated with speed of connections? At least when you do an IQ test, speed is factored in.

vllm isn't even hard to setup!

I find it so funny that HN is sitting in the stoneage with LLM inference.

Meanwhile I'm here with sillytavern hooked to my own vllm server, getting crazy fast performance on my models and having a complete suite of tools for using LLMs.

Most folks on here have never heard of sillytavern, or oobabooga, or any of the other projects for LLM UI/UX (LM-studio). It's insanity that there hasn't been someone like ADOBE building a pro/prosumer UI for LLMs yet.

Funding it from the general fund is probably fine. The whole "trust fund" idea was pretty bogus.

The pay-as-you-go idea never anticipated a baby boom and baby bust, but a trust fund wasn't a good solution, either. It just obscured the fact that it was a tax increase on the lower and middle classes.

Water under the bridge, now. The fact is that social security is an entitlement. If the SS budget does not have enough money to pay it, the government is in violation of the law. The money will come from the general fund, and it will be raised by either taxes or borrowing.
I haven’t checked the app, I just saw screenshots. In my opinion the leaderboard is a bad idea, especially global one. It will be unachievable by vast majority of your users, and may lead to toxic behaviours such as working for 12h/day. It will also remind others how bad their productivity is, possibly causing more stress and self-blaming.

Think about something else than gamification. In my experience and the experience of our users (https://workmode.net/) gamification very quickly stops to work.

All the early metropolitan or long-haul fiber (mostly SONET) networks were digital aggregations of various circuit-modes (DS*) in those days. It made sense since the phone network was pretty much the only long haul network around and even the pure-IP networks didn't yet have enough of a market for alternative protocols. I've been out of the core-networking loop for awhile, but my understanding is that most modern long-haul networks are ethernet over OTN.

The phone companies had enormous sway over the development of these longer haul protocols. The debate around packet sizing almost always favoured smaller cells (especially ATM), which was more ideal for voice - with the added overhead for more standard IP packets. They were also often very connection-oriented, with all the extra equipment overhead required.

Investigating an argument-dependent lookup issue and working around it
I find most articles of the sort "LLMs have this flaw" to be of a cynical one-upmanship kind.

"If you say please LLMs think you are a grandma". Well then don't say you are a grandma. At this point we have a rough idea of what these things are, what their limitations are, people are using them to great effect in very different areas, their objective is usually to hack the LLM into doing useful stuff, while the article writers are hacking the LLM into doing stuff that is wrong.

If a group of guys is making applications with an LLM and another dude is making shit applications with the LLM, am I supposed to be surprised at the latter instead of the former? Anyone can do an LLM do weird shit, the skill and area of interest is in the former.

> The only negative for me was that the students were pretty checked out.

I didn't put a lot of thought into where I went to school but if I could do it over again this is something I would have considered when I applied. The school I ended up at did not have many serious students. It was a night and day difference taking courses with even one or two students who were similarly engaged with the material, but most of those students ended up transferring to better schools after a year or two.

You also run into the issue later on that the people you went to school with wash out of industry (or never work in it to begin with) at much higher rates in comparison to those who went to more serious schools.
> We use LLM for exploring data with language, and our brains for reasoning

I know this is very cynical of me, but I am becoming very convinced that this is actually the biggest draw to AI for a lot of people

They don't want to use their brains

People talk about how it can summarize long text for them. This is framed as being a time saver, but I'm positive for a lot of people they just don't want to read the full text

It can generate images for people who don't want to learn how to draw, or save them money by not hiring artists
I remember some ISPs allowing you to "shotgun" two 56k modems for double the speed!

Like some other commentors I also fondly remember ISDN. Overall I found it to be finicky. Sometimes one channel would just drop, even if a phone call wasn't coming in. And, in order to use a traditional analog phone with your ISDN line, you needed a special powered "TA" adapter or the phone wouldn't ring when a call came in.
Can you elaborate on what features they were demanding?
I would suggest against it, I feel handicapped using AI sometimes. its helpful in a lot of cases eg repetitive work, but drivers feel like you need to be very careful so I would use AI to learn concepts and write things myself! Good luck!
I didn't appreciate you removing everything I responded to either, replacing it with something making my comment look entirely out of context.

While I believe you that you meant to write about the different performance profile of on chip memory, that's not what you did at the time I wrote my reply. What you actually did write was how 512 GB of RAM might revolutionize i.e. database servers. Which I addressed.

And if you hadn't written that, I wouldn't have written my comment either, because I'm not a database developer that could speculate on performance side-grades of such kind (less memory, but closer to the CPU)

Such a shame that PDF doesn’t just, like, include the semantic structure of the document by default. It is brilliant that we standardized on an archival document format that doesn’t include direct access to the document text or structure as a core intrinsic default feature.

> anything-but-iMessage is a (often-times insurmountable) burden on many iphone users who only want to use one app for all the things [...] my kids have actually been left out of social groups in the past [...]

This bizarre attitude is exactly why my phone number is not registered on iMessage on my iPhone. It works great as a meta-filter for people that filter their social contacts based on phone brands.

> iMessage doesn't (or didn't?) work very well with Android phones

It doesn't work with Android phones at all, and iPhones fall back to using clunky legacy protocols such as SMS and RCS.
I agree. I use discord a lot, mostly in personal servers and community servers. It has a lot going for it in terms of easy to use, useful features, all integrated together. I feel like discord could easily fill a niche for small to medium businesses as an all-in-one communication platform for internal and external use if they focused their efforts on it.
Oh yea if the form is known and standardized everything is a lot easier.

But we work with banks on our side, and one of the most common scenarios is customers uploading financials/bills/statements from 1000's of different providers. In which case it's impossible to know every format in advance.
> They're thinking, "That's item number 1".

Yeah that's because the distinction between indexing and counting is pretty much irrelevant to every day use, and to maths where you can just hand-wave syntax. So people are very used to doing it "wrong".

That's what most of the issue with this debate is. Indexing from 1 is wrong, but people are soooo used to it they just can't get over what they think is the "normal" way.
The most bang for buck "employee benefit" I ever offered to my guys back in the earl 00's was a T1 line to their home for free.

We could do this since local loops to most folks were about $150-200/mo, and we already had a channelized DS3 terminated at our rack at a local datacenter for our phone banks. If you bought your own DS1 retail you'd be paying upwards of $1k/mo back then to a provider.

It was by far the best "stickiness for dollar" investment into employee benefits I've ever found back then or since.

Ironically enough, the hype pop of 538 was actually driven by people misinterpreting the stats and using them to feel vindicated in their support of Obama. The comedown was finding out that 25% is still 1-in-4 odds.

> Of course, trying to make the other side seem fundamentally silly is a primary tactic of the pro-gun crowd

I don't think "the other side" is fundamentally silly--that's just the way I write. I take "the other side" extremely seriously because, like I mentioned, I've been to pro gun control protests, and while I now disagree with some of those positions, I have genuine respect for where you're coming from.

In terms of less-lethal weapons, anyone who's serious about self defense should carry pepper spray (though pepper spray is non-lethal, rather than less-lethal). Full stop. If you want to carry a gun, too, that makes sense in some situations. But for myself and anyone who's serious about self-defense, we first of all hope to never have to use any of these tools ever. But if something did happen, I'd much much much rather use pepper spray than something that's more harmful.

The problem with _only_ having pepper spray is that it has limited efficacy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItJAeJz43ts is a trans youtuber who posts a lot of gun content who is talking here about pepper spray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWUq-OEYpiI is Massad Ayoob talking about the efficacy of pepper spray.

It is usually very different entities that invest in investment products vs those in debt. By far the largest owner of shares worldwide are pension funds and insurance companies. Larger still if you add the somewhat indirect savings via products for individual savers, like mutual funds. I suppose this might include sovereign funds - these are often styled as pension funds.

The pension/insurance funds themselves may have debt for their own corporation, not sure - but the capital "surplus" they invest isn't their own money, rather, more or less directly, their clients' money.

There must be some people that choose between repaying debt and investing surplus in 3rd party investments, but surely a minority. Much smaller still for VC which is crazy illiquid.
While true, if that same orange now incurs a $0.50 tariff tax at the border (it will likely not be that high, just a "value" picked from thin air), then in order for all those greedy food distribution networks to maintain their same profit margin as before the tariff, your orange at the store now must cost $1.50.

And, assuming the food distribution network are "greedy", then they will not want to reduce their own profit in order to absorb the tariff costs, so they will most likely just pass the costs of the tariff directly onto you at the store.
