In Utah it's atypical to not have just as much if not more snow in March than in April. The snow pack in the mountains should last all the way until August. This year will likely be very bad for wildfires.

My friend, you can't require an unexplained account login for an unexplained app

These tools actually make me more interested in CS fundamentals. Having strong conceptual understanding is as relevant as ever for making good judgement calls and staying connected with your work.

The real problem with Spotify's DJ is that, if you use it a lot, it gets into a feedback loop where it keeps playing the same songs that it serves you up because it thinks you like them. It's pretty bad at finding new music which is ironic because I find Spotify's Discover Weekly algorithm to be quite good (sometimes)

Yes! This is very obviously AI. Even in the last week there have been several submissions that have this exact same style. Also, the text on the site is obviously AI, em-dashes and all. I don't have a problem with people using the tools to make stuff, but man...at least say it's generated somewhere.

The sales are definitely a huge draw. I don't know of any other product that can get marked down over 50% semi-regularly like video games can. It makes it feel like an incredible value, in comparison to everything else we spend money on. Not to mention, there are many games that will get marked down to less than 5 dollars that you could easily spend hundreds of hours in. Terraria is a good example.

As others have noted, the problem is often with keeping servers running. It's impossible to predict how successful a game will be in the long term, so the publisher can't make any claims to it's longevity. And, it doesn't make any sense to keep servers running if there's not enough income flow. Where this is really an issue is MMOs. Games like Forza already have some solutions: online features are eventually disabled, but you can still play the core game.

Somehow this feels reminiscent of the Escobar phone. https://www.pcmag.com/news/please-stop-buying-the-foldable-p...

"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

Why is a post by some rando on Reddit considered quality news, worthy of reaching the front page of HN? This is just comment bait. The discussion is fine, but all I see is anecdotal conjecturing.

I get confused when I see stances like this, because it gives me the sense that maybe people just aren't using coding tools efficiently.

90% of my usage of Copilot is just fancy autocomplete: I know exactly what I want, and as I'm typing out the line of code it finishes it off for me. Or, I have a rough idea of the syntax I need to use a specific package that I use once every few months, and it helps remind me what the syntax is, because once I see it I know it's right. This usage isn't really glamorous, but it does save me tiny bits of time in terms of literal typing, or a simple search I might need to do. Articles like this make me wonder if people who don't like coding tools are trying to copy and paste huge blocks of code; of course it's slower.

This is crazy, incredible work.

The small fuzzy spherical things are just what's inside the large oblong things, once the husk has been removed. People who have never really interacted with coconuts may be surprised to learn this.

The Thin Red Line

286082 is still insane though

Labeling midi controllers as theater props is an insane take. Midi controllers are essentially programmable instruments.

Cool idea! It sounds like you're offering it for free, with the option for a donation. How are you going to deal with the influx of what I imagine will be hundreds of free requests? Won't that get pretty expensive fast?

I think it's interesting how this makes a distinction about what Americans do, because appropriate social interaction is significantly influenced by culture. I wonder if there's a study or something that explored the variations in social interaction norms across cultures.

Sure, language is more than text. It's complex, messy, and ever-changing. But that's exactly why language models are so phenomenal; they can extract patterns from these complex systems.

For instance, 'Longbottom' is translated quite literally, which can feel a bit silly.

Looks like an iPhone...one of the things I like about the other pixels is the curved bezels..

The irony here is insane

Yes this. It's not like the entire tooth brush stops working. Also, if you've used the brush for so long, it may very well be time to replace the head for the sake of oral hygiene. The most consumer unfriendly thing about these toothbrushes is just how expensive the heads are.

I would imagine as soon as they started smelling bad.

I would agree with other commenters that fine tuning is very much not obsolete, and for another important reason: many people and domains do not have the resources or even desire to work with extremely large models like GPT-4. The world outside of OpenAIs monoliths is still very much important.
