this doesn't really make sense to me. fundamentally, if naively, price is a function of supply and demand. if there is no demand in Europe - then there is a price problem. but i don't like the expectation that governments should subsidize mega corporations profits. the article doesn't really convince me the investment is beneficial to europeans.

just what an AI bot would say! ;)

No, skills are telling the model how to run a script to do something interesting. If you look at the skillshub the skills you download can include python scripts, bash scripts... i didn't look too much further after downloading a skill to get the gist of what they had done to wire everything up, but this is definitely not taking security into consideration

I agree with the comment above. I have not logged into hacker news in _years_ but did so today just to weigh in here. If people are saying that the audio sounds great, then there is definitely something going on with a subset of users where we are only hearing garbled words with a LOT of distortion. This does not sound like natural speech to met at all. It sounds more like a warped cassette tape. And I do not mean to slight your work at all. I am actually incredibly puzzled here to understand why my perception of this is so radically different from others!

I haven't read it yet to be certain, but my impression is that rather than using lossless compression of entire chats, this uses lossy summarization to get the gist of chats. There will be tradeoffs between the two methods, hopefully this paper covers that.

Not being snarky, at the simplest level by knowing x ahead of time you can change your code from y = n/2 into y = n * 0.5. Not wildly important by itself, but in a loop - maybe… I suspect compilers optimize for that already.

In some areas it does a good job of giving me a better answer than me checking 5-10 random stack overflow and blog posts with different answers over 20 years...

But, it is completely incapable of saying "I don't know the answer to that" and will spew the wrong answer to anything. For fun I have arguments with ChatGPT that it is just making things up and it should just tell me "I don't know" and it will happily say "I'm sorry, you are right. Here is the right answer <insert made up fact>" and it will do so generating random garbage indefinitely.

The problem is that I can't trust it to provide facts any better than asking my bull-shitting co-worker who is convinced he is right about everything and when called out says "yeah, that's what I was saying, <insert contradictory thing>"

I believe the name is hydrogen fuel cell. It takes hydrogen as a fuel and generates electricity like a battery, instead of combusting it like a typical gas powered motor

The output of a hydrogen fuel cell is water, so it is a fairly sustainable loop if you can capture the water and generate hydrogen from it. But you need an efficient process to convert water into hydrogen

They would also make a Microsoft owned version of the protocol to support features only their client and server supported

There have been a number of stories about musicians being copyright claims. Here is the first result on Google

I’ve switched back to IC. But my tendency to manage things has pushed me into a hybrid tech lead role that feels like a blend of IC and management. But the things I’m managing are cost savings, migrations, rearchitecting… so I’m very happy with this role. I don’t know what the jobs and roles are where you are, but I’m at a young company that is still growing and have been able to forge my own path. If you can use your management connections, find a technical area that is lacking and that you have the unique technical skills to solve, that could lead to some exciting work.

I’d worry that working on just any other team that you don’t feel passionate about would make you start questioning the move

But. Careers are not just about maximum growth. It sounds like you need to take some time to take your foot off the gas. Switching to an IC role could let you focus on what YOU want to do for a while and then pick something new when the time comes

I’m not sure what you mean by “bumping the version in source after a release”. If it’s after a release then you released it with the old version? Or do you mean prep the repo for the next version by incrementing it optimistically, in which case it probably depends on your branding model. But I don’t understand the “immediately” part of your question.

Where I work we don’t increment until we know what branch/version we are working on, and determine the semantic version, and then we still use tagging because we tag the version + build id which is computed at build time

Do you mean this part

“This is a busy-wait loop, which makes for a simple illustration but isn’t ideal. In a real program I’d have the producer run a job while it waits for a queue slot, or just have it turn into a consumer (if this wasn’t a single-consumer queue)”

300TB is a lot. No idea what your business is. But that is a lot of data for a medium sized business.

I remember an article here about someone optimizing their cloudflare setup with something else and sending tons of data through some peering agreement. Its 2am and I don’t remember the details. Anyone else remember seeing that?

During start up it asked me if I wanted to change my browser settings and I said no. My settings were not changed. Either you clicked yes without realizing what it would do, or there was something that made it not ask you. I think the wording of the question was something along the lines of “internet security”, which is Microsoft’s way of tricking users, so you may not have realized what it would do when you said yes

You are not wrong. After 20 years of work I agree that being a drone to squeeze out more profit for the shareholders is unfulfilling. At best you could argue that working with a good group of people at a company with a good workplace culture makes it OK in some ways. But not everyone works that way.

It sounds like you’d be happier doing solo work. Maybe make a good library, piece of software, saas application etc. working for yourself and having time to do what you want to do is great for many people.

Find something that you are comfortable doing to make money. Who knows, maybe you will enjoy it.

Haha. Love the toxicity here. Downvoting my simple question about what looks like they cloned notion. They have different color schemes, icons, wording, menus. I don’t see anything that struck me as a clone. Just high level similarities.

I looked at notion and this app and don’t see clone similarities? Do you have specific concerns?

Oh. This would be terrible. Not only from a loss of cultural and language preservation, but also losing the actor’ performance. I really dislike watching dubbed shows. If this somehow became a thing it would be sad

It’s vaguely in the article. Says in the winter the process is reversed

Not sure where you got 60% from. I said 65% of people had the money, and 35% of people did not. Is that accurate? The number comes from my interpretation of this one study. I would put some confidence in the number being between 25-35%. Again, 60% is a made up number - so no, I don't agree with that number.

My sarcasm detection is not great. Looks like a troll post. Maybe it is real? If it is real, 50% down would mean it lost half its value. 100% down it lost all its value. Even if it was up one billion gillion percent, if it lost 100% of it's value it would be worth zero. But, yes, Enron and Madoff and many brokers are not out to protect your investments

I’m not trolling. I’ve linked to facts. If you think the CDC and Surgeon General are not facts then you, sir, are trolling

Why does everyone say it’s fine for kids to get Covid because they are not dying? Again, you are trolling.

Hospitalization rates are way up with Omicron. And only reason it looked like kids were less affected by Covid was because there was a lack of testing for kids and schools were initially closed. Schools are open and infection rates are same as adults. Sure. They aren’t dying as much because adults are generally way less healthy. But they are not magically immune and we can pretend there is nothing to be concerned about

Edit: confirmed. I looked at your comment history and you seem to love trolling and posting snarky things

There is a lot of area between "barely affected" and "dying".

Wow. I really don't want see Hacker News turn into some ugly mud slinging subreddit type site. This is just wildly against the community guidelines

As I pointed out to another commenter, this is NOT about wealthy people worrying about how to best utilize their cash. These people are probably the 50% who are not on the verge of financial collapse.

The concern I am bringing up is the people who have NO cash. Marginal credit. Have to figure out how to pay for food and medical care every week and are stressed out. The system is not working for about half of Americans

I'm.. not even sure how to respond to this.

I'll just address the underlying sentiment that credit card debt is just fine and totally normal.

It's really a question of poverty vs convenience. If I use my credit card because it is convenient and I can pay off my bills, great. No problem. But if I am so poor that I have no choice but to put everything on a credit card, then every purchase is 10%, 20%, or even 30% more expensive - heck, it might be 3000% more expensive because there are many people who are making minimal payments just to get by every month.

So, no, you silly analogy about your grandparents is not what we are talking about here. We are talking about people right now, today, who are living paycheck to paycheck, not sure how they are going to pay for food and for the medical care they need, and making really hard choices. And your mockery is inappropriate.
