@ikostrikov Post-training might be the future, but nature's still got the ultimate dataset. All the DNA on Earth holds ~100 yottabytes of info—way more than the entire internet. Plenty of data left to train on!

@JNYBGR When you finish with that, can you do adobe .ai files to jpeg?

There are dozens of online MP4 to WebM converters
And all of them hook up to server and convert on the backend
But i am now 100% sure it can be done in the browser using WebCodecs: faster, private, offline
Nobody’s been crazy enough to build it..
Someone has to do it, right?

@CJHandmer Unlike the thin blue layer we see around Earth, wouldn't the atmosphere of a terraformed Mars appear much larger and more expansive from space?

Third render is a little less saturated. I think the render is dialed now, time to ramp up the resolution.

ok but like seriously what is going on over here. as a non new yorker i never hear about this place despite it looking super cool on a map

As an engineer and huge machinery/manufacturing nerd, what should I absolutely see in London?

@mattyglesias Seems in line with SWE salaries gap: San Francisco: $128,676. London: $63,000.

Teacher pay in two Anglophone cities with high housing costs and very different weather.

My #1 hack for my coworking space:
We provide unlimited drinks.
But to make sure I personally never run out, I buy coconut flavored sparking water.
I’m the only person that will drink them.

@levelsio@levelsio
Most people don't know I made this and the UX is quite clunky but it works: ✈️ airlinelist.com It collects data on most airlines and airplane models With all the Boeing news, you can use it to find airlines which do NOT have shitty Boeing planes like the 737 Max (now sneakily rebranded to 737-8) I've kept it updated with every airline accident and problem for years, and it's free to use!

@CJHandmer How would be Earth albedo impacted? Will this help with global warming?

Synthetic fuels are unlikely to pave the entire world in solar panels, because AI will do it first.

@darpinian @ilanbigio @nsthorat @phabricator Yes, it is not Critique, but for being open source it is very close.
English
@ilanbigio @nsthorat @phabricator Chrome uses Gerritt and it's OK, better than GitHub for sure, but it's no Critique.

6 months post-Google, the tech I miss most:
- Critique (code review tool). Nothing I’ve used externally touches it. Someone please solve this 🙏
- Blaze. Python build & packaging outside Google is unfortunately painful. Won’t use Bazel because reasons.
- Being able to ping the person who wrote whatever tool I’m using and get a response very quickly.
Lots of stuff I don’t miss, for another day.

@battleangelviv Lots of people who live with one foot on the East Coast and the other one in Europe.

@paulg Non Americans don't even understand how most Americans view international travel. It's like going to the park. I know Americans who had to cancel their trip because they found out *at the airport* that the country (that they had bought flight tickets for) required a visa.

I don't think people in the EU tourism business realize how much money this is going to cost them.
Eric Boehm@EricBoehm87
I feel like this is something that should be a much bigger story than it is: Starting next year, American passport-holders won't have visa-free access to Europe. Instead, you'll have to pay 7 Euros and wait *14 days* for an entry visa to be processed. reason.com/2023/07/28/say…

@DavidDeutschOxf @kmett Someone in HNs yesterday: LLMs lack the "lizard brain" found in animals, responsible for emotions and motivations. We use the neocortex to satisfy primitive urges. LLMs, like "new-cortexes," lack inherent motivation and require instructions. We should fear people misusing LLMs.
English
@kmett Oh dear. A "belief system" that "collapses" because things are better than one's wildest dreams shouldn't make one very sad. Unfortunately, things aren't as good as he prophesies: LLMs are the opposite of AGIs.
