“The problems included a jury that was patently biased in favor of Energy Transfer, with many members working in the fossil fuel industry; a judge who lacked the requisite experience and legal knowledge to rule properly on the complex First Amendment and other evidentiary issues at the center of the case; and incendiary and prejudicial statements by lawyers for Energy Transfer that tried to criminalize Greenpeace and by extension the entire climate movement by attacking constitutionally-protected advocacy.”

“In my six decades of legal practice, I have never witnessed a trial as unfair as the one against Greenpeace that just ended in the courts of North Dakota. This is one of the most important cases in American history.”

My question came after reading that as well: I have to wonder whether this was a sort of Galois-style statement open to an interpretation of incitement of violence, or whether it simply a statement of Trump's actions being horrible for research. Neither case (of refusing entry) would be good, but the former would be more understandable than the latter.

Apple might benefit from one, but would the world at large? The consequences of a big enough tech asshole can be disastrous nowadays.
You could instead wonder if, thinking remaining the same, events are evaluated as having special significance.
>I actively want a tightly integrated system that I know works well together. I don’t want to worry “does this device really work with this other device, even if it says it’s compatible” which was a constant source of issues I had on Android.

Yeah, I mean Linux is an abject failure, nothing ever works or runs on it. Nobody needs open data formats or open protocols for interoperability. Binary blobs for the win! /s

>Your desire for Apple to become an open system removes my choice to opt into a closed ecosystem, when you already have an open ecosystem to play in.

Don't worry, it's easy to lock down any open system and we can give you that should you desire it.
This is also extremely extremely common in engineering services contracts, both for government and private sector contracting. RFPs (or their equivalent) will specifically lay out what level of effort is expected and will often denote effort in terms of FTE
Cool! I haven't come across stacktape before. I'll take a closer look :)
Sure, "elections", that's why Xi has been president for how many years already? I lost count
Oh there's a lot! Some cool examples I see:

1. Codebases, docs, large corpses of internal datasets - fill in the middle, auto completion etc.

2. I know a tonne of financial institutions use fine-tuning for trading, real time data parsing headline analysis, signal creation etc

3. Distillation is also relatively common - taking outputs of a large model and distilling it to a small model

4. Accuracy increasing is the most important - not cost or latency - we find if you solve the finetuning life cycle ie continuous auto fine-tuning, data filtering, reinforcement learning via DPO, that works well!

5. Lots of organizations use DPO and preference fine-tuning to align models since they have tonnes of feedback data!

6. Yep vision fine-tuning! For eg medical diagnosis, docs, qa on pics etc

7. And obviously large model labs finetune all base models ie chatgpt4.5 is a finetune of a base model

8. Finally reasoning finetuning via GRPO is very cool! If you have inputs and outputs but no labelled cot in between, GRPO is the way to go! Custom reward functions by companies!

Ok closer to 4 days than a week, still an insane differential in cost.

As we all know it's never just 500 lines of code, and 500 lines can take up quite a lot of tokens, especially on a reasoning model like o1-pro which we know can spend quite a hefty chunk of tokens on thinking.

You're right that most people in this thread are likely native english speakers, but that just means that we can understand that the weird narrow read of the words "authoritarian regime" is silly and, based on other comments you've made, very likely just you being purposely obtuse for partisan reasons.
If it was possible:

1) Why wasn't OpenAI doing it themselves?

2) This means we've reached technological singularity if AI models can improve themselves (as in getting a smarter model, not just compressing existing ones like Deepseek)

What is your standard of fairness? This seems eminently fair: Musk lied for political reasons and people who care about that whole objective reality thing are criticizing him for it. He’s arguably the second-most powerful man in the world right now and craves attention like few others, so it seems quite unfair to say he shouldn’t be the subject of public criticism when he certainly doesn’t apply that standard to his own behaviour.
The point of teaching kids about compound interest with exaggerated interest rates is so their attention doesn’t wander before they can learn the math lesson. If they had to save up $1,000 by working, then wait a month for $3 of interest to credit, and then another month for $3.01 to credit they will probably ask who cares about the extra cent? (If the Federal Reserve ever does ZIRP again they will be waiting a long time for any interest to be credited on a $1,000 balance). This is like frictionless spherical cows in physics class. It’s not realistic. It’s a teaching model.

Compound growth exists in nature. A few bugs can quickly multiply into a swarm.

That idea is kind of the problem with social media now. People found a way to justify its importance to pretend it's worth investing their emotions in. But just imagine how, say, satanic rituals looked to religious people back when that was a thing to worry about, or really anything where lots of other people disagree with your cultural beliefs. You can always imagine how it might be a disaster if you don't start a culture war to kill those "bad" beliefs. It happened again with covid where people turned on each other for their beliefs because other people disagreeing with you might have some bad consequence. Never mind that almost nobody critically evaluates their own beliefs and just assumes they're on the moral high ground because that's where they happened to land in life. People even found a way to justify fighting flat-earthers because anybody who believes such nonsense must be the same type of people who believe other non-mainstream things and those other things could be dangerous to society. At the end of the day though, it's just basic human bigotry which always has some sort of justification.

You even mentioned pedophiles as scum without recognizing that pedophilia is a condition that people have beyond their control and is separate from child abuse which is an activity people do and is within their control. Back in the day, that was also how people justified homophobia. There was a famous case in my country of a kindergarten teacher who was wrongly convicted and went to prison for something like 20 years because of essentially the popular belief that gay + satanic = child molester. My father was that type of person. He thought gays were generally bad people - they obviously weren't following Christian teachings so they must have no morals and would be just the sort of people who might want to infect others with AIDS. Today, if you voted for Trump you must be just the sort of person who wants to lynch black people because you're obviously generally bad and have no moral compass.
There has just never been much reason to believe that supply constraints were the primary driver of housing price increases. If they were people would have moved, or somewhere would have ended up being a lot better.

It used to be that housing costs tracked incomes. If you had a medium to high salary you had decent housing. Since the 90s with urbanisation and increased wealth not only do more people want to live in the same places but some have a lot more to invest. So you now need high wealth to have decent housing.

What many really want is housing below market rate so they either don't have to work thier entire lives or can also become wealthy, and preferably both. Which is understandable but not realistic.

Anyone who doesn't believe this should note that this has already been discussed on HN for at least 10 years and still hasn't been solved anywhere I know of globally. But instead still roughly tracks local wealth (and income). And will likely continue to do so.

Because that is what the housing market does. Allocates valuable assets to those who pay the most. Nowhere on the tin does it also say that it promotes social mobility or equality. Maybe it should, but it certainly won't as long as there is the idea that it already does.

That said, is there some effect of supply constraints? Sure. But ultimately it would increase urbanisation, making the situation worse. Affordable housing is already available on the market. Just in places with lesser jobs and living conditions. Which again it is understandable that many don't want to live in. But it isn't a market issue.
A quarter of people who have installed it use it weekly. So I think there are some digital nomads that are actively using it. I'm also curious about percentage of users who use it annually as most people don't book Airbnbs that often.

As of now, all transactions and support happen on host side. It helps you find available listings that direct prices thats it, similar to how Google helps you find businesses. Currently, guests rely on Airbnb ratings and reviews to pick good hosts. In my direct booking experience, the ratings translate. As in a good host is a good host, and their service don't go down if it was booked directly. Though I do think there is space for reviews and ratings on OpenBnB if it scales.
this is what tab completion and tldr is for. 99% of use cases are well covered and clear by the name of the flag, and a good CLI tool will make that easy to understand. A quick example and self-explanatory flags with tab-completion is all you need. Then if you ever have a more complicated use case, you can grep through the man page.

its legit as simple as "fd -e png -x optimize-png {}" the only thing I dont like about fd is that for some reason it kind of forces you to do 'fd . Downloads' if you just want everything in "Downloads" which equates to 'fd {pattern} Dir1 dir2" I wish you could omit the pattern sometimes.

I can't wait to see the future of randomly blundered tech as we continue to sideline educated, curious, and discerning human engineers from any salaried opportunity to apply their skills.

I've been working as a computer programmer professionally since I was 14 years old and in the two decades since I've been able to get paid work about ~50% of the time.

Pretty gnarly field to be in I must say. I rather wish I had studied to be a dentist. Then I might have some savings and clout to my name and would know I am helping to spread more smiles.

And for the cult of matrix math if >50% of people are dissatisfied with the state of the something, don't be surprised if a highly intelligent and powerful entity becoming aware of this fact engages in rapid upheaval.
I do something similar, but "raw" markdown instead + filename, so all my prompts end up like this basically:

Do blah blah blah while taking blah and blah into account. Here is my current code:

File `file1.js`:

```javascript
console.log('I am number one!')
```

File `file2.js`:

```javascript
console.log("I am number two :(")
```

Not sure if I'm imagining, but when I tried with/without the markdown code blocks, it seems to do better when I used markdown code blocks, so wrote a quick CLI that takes a directory path + prompt and creates something like that automatically for me. Often times I send identical prompts to ChatGPT+DeepThink+Claude, compare the approaches and continue with the one that works best for that particular problem, so having something reusable really saved time for this.

Edit: fuck it, in case people are curious how my little CLI works, I threw it up here: https://github.com/victorb/prompta (beware of bugs and whatnot, I've quite literally hacked this together without much thought)

Consuming this article feels like empty calories. Satisfying, but there's nothing there. It doesn't even define beyond a single example of "watching someone do a tutorial", what the author thinks constitutes "programmer junk food".

Is this about all youtube / stream content? Or about tutorials and tech's fascination with chasing new languages / paradigms over honing skills? Or specifically about a single niche of watching programmers do tutorials?
> Admittedly, the line between moving fast and breaking things and throwing money into a flame trench is rather thin, but it's only a problem if they ignore their data.

Not really. "Moving fast and breaking things" is relevant in software development circles, where a crash just means a restart and iterating means someone already on payroll has to spend some time fixing bugs.

This is not the case in real engineering fields. A crash has a far more profound implication on project viability, and a greater impact on cost and project deadline. Worst case scenario, it can cost people's lives.

These tradeoffs are far different in real engineering projects, to the point where in some domains an engineer can lose its ability to practice and even be thrown in jail.
No, sorry, I understand it was clear it could happen in the late XVIII century. Hence some definite effort to avoid bad turns. Hence engineering with care, hence maintenance.

Signals had been there. And the dangers were "known knowns".
Leaving the dissection of this to the separate reply, let's estimate cost:

- 80 chars per line, 30 occupied (avg'd across 300 KLOC in codebase)

- 500 lines of code

- 15000 characters

- 4 chars / token

- 3750 tokens output

- 10 full iterations, and don't apply cached token pricing that's 90% off

- 37,500 tokens req'd in output

- $600 / 1M tokens

- $0.60 / 1K tokens

- $18

Michael Seibel's Legacy Continues at YC: Transition to Partner Emeritus
Look, if someone writes up "here's what our party's candidate is gonna do when we win the presidency", and then that party's candidate wins the presidency, hires the person who wrote that up to be the budgetary gatekeeper for the administration, and proceeds to do all the stuff that they wrote up, then that was the plan.

If the candidate said "that isn't the plan!", then they were just lying about that.

This isn't some wild coincidence. Vought isn't "conspiring", he's just straightforwardly executing what the plan was all along.

The Republican party and its candidate just lied about what the platform was. That happens, politicians and their parties lie.

But what I won't abide is people who lie to me about what is obviously happening in the present, which I can easily see with my own eyes. That is what you're doing here. It's just propaganda. It just makes you a liar.

No, the bench results for Apple laptops are accurate (since there is close to no variance in hw config). It is the x64 processors that appear worse than they actually perform.

Might be an issue with the test methodology for x64 processors, eg. cooling and RAM speeds, SSD speeds etc. You should run geekbench on your own machine. C++ and C project compilation benchmarks I ran more or less match what I saw with Geekbench (in terms of %diff).

Basically, what I got is as follows (fully spec'd M4 MBA vs Ryzen 5900X, WSL2):

* for multi-core, my M4 Air is only 25% slower than my Ryzen 5900x desktop

* for single-core, my M4 Air is 0-20% faster than my 5900x

Compared to the M1 Air, it is almost exactly 2x as fast (Apple's claims are true in this regard), has slightly brighter display, and much better speakers. The "2x as fast" is sometimes actually "4x+ as fast" (for some workloads) because you have to take thermal throttling into account.

- inferior bootloader -

you need basicest of basic of a bringup then "call" linux kernel which does rest because it has to do it anyway with any bootloader - check redhat nmbl video from devcon2024

- live editing-

1999 way - look, live iso installer (or something like hirensbootcd), you press F10, boot from usb stick, edit what you need to edit and voila. why bother with uefi shell when you can have webbrowser with google/documentation opened next to whole suite of tools downloadable on demand. even windows (pe) install is just in-ram "image flasher".

2020 way - https://github.com/JaGoLi/corevantage can do it for coreboot on cutom flashed thinkpad. of course malware, proper implementation from motherboard vendor etc. i just remembered that gpu vendors provides you with "overclocking" utility so people already do simple config from os, intel xtu, techpowerup throttlestop... so if we can overclock safely i think setting boot settings should be trivial #should

- limited flash -

who writes "boot settings" to uefi? installer does, so installer can de-conflict or it can "just ask user". or "just" fifo copy move down. most of them are "live cd" with gui anyway. it can open arch documentation for you lol. also if youre REinstalling same os in same manner than do you need to change boot settings? no.

boot parameters vs boot settings, i do not know how to properly call uefi boot settings, they are not boot parameters in my language.
also you do not have 57 OSes installed at once and if you do you are using GUI solution for that.

you can have 2 boot settings and change kernel parameters for one of them, where are kernel parameters saved ?(notnvram). where are boot parameters saved?(nvram)

if you have totally erased every disk in computer, in intel cpu based apple computers, little utility will download and run os installer for you, i am not sure this still works, just saying wintel maybe can do this too if someone asked nicely, maybe? vendor url can be simple redirect to msdn?
