The last 15 seconds sounds like it hit the runout groove on the IKEA phone system vinyl!

It feels like that might be a fair point in other context but as one of your sibling posts says: this is just double entry book keeping.

Print out the transactions with their timestamps and it feels this should have been very clearly a computer error given the duplicates etc.

Nice little idea! As a slight aside I’m not sure where the timezone / city list has come from but it labels Hanoi as in Thailand (rather than Vietnam).

I guess the question would be, if indeed these suggestions would solve those problems, how much does this cost (I genuinely have no idea!) and how much do I want to spend on this versus putting up a webpage to direct people too.

I want to shave off every last ms of latency in the services I own but at the end of the day at some point it’s good enough (and best for the business) just to manage expectations.

IIUC cm precision should be fine if the algorithms looking for stable placement accounts for that cm (and reality id imagine it’d account for less precision than that). If a placement needs sub cm precision the algorithm would just discard that option.

Additionally there shouldn’t be any accumulation in a specific direction. Any accumulated gaps would be accounted for when placing the next rock and rectified to within a cm.

A store’s opening hours will probably remain 9am-5pm regardless of any time zone changes around it. If you run a bunch of stores across time zones you need to know where each store is and whether it’s summer or winter to work backwards to find out 9-5 in UTC.

Makes we wonder how much of the investor’s money was put in to OpenAI as a company or in Sam and the leadership. I think the answer is probably the latter, and the fact that Sam’s firing was this easy (and would likely have the effect of others going in quick order) seems like a massive oversight in terms of investor due diligence in board structure etc.

I feel like trying to infer valid JSON from invalid JSON is a recipe for garbage. You’d probably be better off doing a second pass with the “JSON” through the LLM but, as the sibling commenter said, at this point even the good JSON may be garbage …

My phone gets pretty warm when I zoom out but the UI remains nice and responsive …

I want to hear that at normal typing speed. I feel like, unless there are a good amount of slightly varied samples, it's going to have that TR-808 repetitive vibe going on ...

Nice to see Clifford Stoll currently topping the page. I bought The Cuckoo's Egg after reading enough people recommending it on HN and so to see the author referencing the main events in that book as the most recent highlight kinda brings things full circle!

This works fine as long as you’re happy to do the same task multiple times. I.e. the task is idempotent and cheap.

I read it every time!
