Apple products have always been overpriced, don't make excuses for it in previous years. And this mindset of upgrading every year is quite diseased.

Literally not, physical does not have the density of digital. You can download all of Wikipedia (text) in 5gb. 5gb was a lot in 1980, nothing now. So we need revolutions in storage that would allow at least some backups of archive.org and s

I guess the employee raising the concern may risk having their role made redundant by going to management. I guess the only option really is switching teams. The other problem is that often they have too many people already. That's why

Unless you want a C++ with a different syntax and less features then there's no reason to learn Pascal in 2023. And the syntax is much worse, you can't even declare variables in the middle of a function it has to go before the fun

Reddit is useful in Google search results though whereas Twitter and Instagram are not. For instance if you search "movies like X", on Google by default most results are automated aggregators or one critics perspective. If you sea

The interesting thing about sitcoms is I've never heard anyone talk about a new sitcom in years (maybe Brooklyn Nine Nine?), maybe people are rewatching Seinfeld, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Office, etc as those are the only good ones

Black Mirror is largely written by one guy, that's why. It's better they make Black Mirror the highest quality. That way, in 20 years, people will watch it, it will be new to them, and still hold up. Build an evergreen catalogue.

Joplin isn't that easy to setup for family. It also doesn't work like that for Dropbox, it links to a specific app folder on your own account. I'm also not sure about distributed editing it would result in a lot of conflict n

Having an easy way to sync is kind of a core feature of a note taking app. I'm not sure how profitable Notion is though.

Well, they killed CentOS so I would expect nothing less. What would the recourse of Rocky/Alma be then?

There was discussion of bigger issues. Such as large numbers of volunteers leaving to start an alternative beforehand. Data loss that apparently had no backups leaving thousands of pages gone to the dust in the case of a single wiki. Then r

These kinds of famous speakers I'd imagine would be surrounded 24/7 anyway. Personally I do watch recorded talks and lectures from conferences every now and then. This conference could have too much emphasis on networking for expe

That appeals 50x more to the Kickstarter general audience. For a PL conference on Kickstarter you're going to need to reach people elsewhere and only rely on Kickstarter as funds and perks.

If you have a conference theme that nobody else is targeting just start off as virtual, it's free aside from organization time. You miss interactions but if you're having big speakers or a niche topic there's still value and

Well 6 hours of focused work is really good. 2-3 hours of sleep windows isn't enough for REM/deep I'd imagine which is the crazy thing.

That's more of a sales, hardware, and pricing thing now. Nothing new on product or development end.

They don't have a choice, it's AI or Metaverse at their level. A lot of other things have stabilised too much like consoles and mobile.

Well that means bots can take anything down unless you become really good at detecting bots. Not like it's hard for bots to get points you can do so with reposting and GPT for comments.

I mean they would just scrape it if there's no data dump. It just makes it harder for the small guys. They probably scraped and are scraping HackerNews. Generative AI doesn't follow copyright or even explicit software licenses as

Just watch the recent banned BBC Modi documentary. It is a huge threat in India but I'm not sure about growing threat in US as much as things are slipping by people.

Well yeah, as a sort of compilation target for sure, not just for language models but all ML models need to be integrated somewhere. The ML code and web code will be independent though.

Personally I only use SvelteKit which I find is nice by building around what the web technology currently is. As for static types to be honest I don't see how it's useful in the context of ML. You might use a Pandas dataframe, whi

JavaScript is a joke when you consider things like prototypes and classes. Not saying Python is perfect but JS really feels atrocious to me. TypeScript requires you to compile, the whole point of Python for ML and data science is you'r

I think passkeys + 2FA is enough. Just enforce 2FA for any important service and it will be fine, if you don't force it then people who aren't as tech savvy will not do it or people may forget. For anything non-important I actuall

I heard that ChatGPT 4 runs in the red even with $20 subscription. Makes sense since only 25 messages every 4 hours. The nerf coincides with browsing taking more power up probably. Google probably doesn't want people using GPT 6 tech i

Guess I missed that 3.5 Turbo achieved speed by also downgrading. I didn't hear anyone complain, to be fair I only use GPT 4 because I try to use it to save time and even with 4 you have to verify. And I guess the trend is that anyone

Pretty sure he said a few months ago that scaling further than GPT 4 isn't going to help enough, and that other breakthroughs are needed or something about building on top of GPT 4. Since then the only foundational breakthrough was muc

But GPT 3.5 has Turbo but nobody claims it reduced accuracy even though it's much faster. GPT 4 is now a lot faster and struggles much more. And in theory being faster should be an advantage to an extent, even if the model needs more p
