It requires some digging into the project, because at first glance it doesn't seem to be a simple header-only library. There's a conanfile.py, and a CMakeLists.txt and all sorts of "junk" in the project directory.

But in the end it all seems to come down to this single header file which only depends on C++ stdlib headers and which can be dropped into your own project (which seems to be generated (aka "amalgamated") from multiple smaller header files):

https://github.com/p-ranav/structopt/tree/master/single_incl...

So for typical C++ libraries, this seems quite straightforward to integrate. Usually when looking at a project directory full of random files like this, it's a lot more complicated.
Just published a set of focused open source TypeScript packages for working with the unofficial Notion API, Notion types, and related utilities.

I'm sure it is already in the works. WASM is the key to be independent of the ISA and allows to switch to custom silicon without having the customers to know. That's how cloud vendors will drive the future in the race to get independent from x86 and ARM (very likely that a future owner of ARM will limit the licensing business). So even if there is no performance gain possible due to the reasons you have pointed out, it's probably the abstraction layer of the future for pretty much everything.
Why is that we praise hand-crafted objects in the real world while at the same time deriding such hand-crafted code as a quaint curiosity that can only make sense as a hobby of the hopelessly romantic?

Do we compare your local carpenter with IKEA, or that delicious, nutritive and healthly meal you cooked with McDonald's, in terms of pure (developer) performance?

Do we obsess over how a handmade jewelrer can't scale operations to five continents?

Why do we copycat every process or idea from tech behemoths but laugh when someone tells us that maybe a chat client shouldn't gobble up gigs of RAM?

In the real world, both craft workshops and assembly lines have their place. Maybe that should be true for the digital world as well.
Ask HN: Salary at FAANGs for non-engineer tech roles
I have read about the high engineering salaries at FAANG companies, specially in US.
What is the salary for other tech roles, specifically professional services role at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google?
Since these are cloud providers they have many roles like solution architects or field support engineers that help their customer engagements. Can they be compared to SDE levels?

For context, I have applied for such a role and scored an interview, not in US, but still interested to know how well they pay. Real engineering roles within product teams at these companies in my country are as rare as hens teeth.

I'm not saying this specific law is any good (I think it is not). But I am saying that when we compare who is to allow or deny us access to news and knowledge, and who should be able to track our every move, a democratic elected goverment is better suited to do so, than a private entity.
That implies Google will change what Australians see vs other countries. No more. No less.

Some possibile outcomes:

Imagine a page with only foreign results. Plenty of news entities cover Australian news, and a result like this: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=victoria+australia+covid could very easily nix the news box, and any and all Australian news results and content.

Google could take the attitude that all Australian news sites that require payment have a robots.txt with:

Disallow: /

I can't imagine any law that both demands Google crawl sites AND demands payment for it will survive being contested in the courts. You can't both compel and enforce - it is one or tother, and if it costs Google to crawl your site, why should Google crawl your site?

I can see a news site, like The Guardian, agreeing to give Google their news for free, and getting all the SERP links as a consequence. I can imagine Google doing deals with all manner of sites for nothing, where the value of 100% of News traffic from Google is likely millions.

I have no idea what the proposal of the ACCC is (and I'm Australian) but this seems a really weird case, where the unintended consequences could be almost anything, and the likely outcome is more likely to be bad for Australian sites than beneficial.

> The very idea of fairly guessing a student's grade is problematic, and only acceptable if you forget we are discussing real people, with individuality, dreams and purpose. They would have certainly been happier sitting their exams, whatever it took to do so safely.

They almost certainly...wouldn't? The exams are stressful and hard work: both high- and low-achieving students were celebrating when the standardised exams got cancelled here in Ireland and I'm sure it was little different in the UK.

At best, those who think they'd get better grades in the exam would prefer it. The ultimate use of these grades is zero-sum (there are only so many university places) so every decision that hurts one student is helping someone else.

It doesn't really matter how good the model is, it's an impossible task politically. There will always be some people aggrieved by the new process and they will always have plausible ways to spin it as racist or classist or whatever else is necessary to fuel the outrage machine. As if the previous setup was some kind of examplar of egalitarianism.
Lyrics are not produced by the page hosting them, if anything those are a cancer of ads and malware that I steer away from.

Google can probably do voice recognition now on songs and get the lyrics without outside parties (see youtube cc which is pretty good).

The problem with Python is that you start writing in Python because you ship quickly and at some point you start needing performance and you have to decide whether to rewrite in a new language or start down the potentially painful path of using another language and calling that from Python.
If you could establish an impregnable firewall between young healthy people and vulnerable people, and you ignore the rare deaths of healthy young people and side-effects of infection, the infection rate among young healthy people would be less important.

But establishing an impregnable firewall is impossible, and long as the boundary between groups is porous, a higher infection rate among the young and healthy will increase the infection rate among the vulnerable, and hence the death rate.

Somehow everyone misses this little gem in the draft bill [0]:

> 52S.(1).(a) ensure that the registered news business corporation is provided with flexible content moderation tools that allow the registered news business corporation to remove or filter comments on the registered news business covered news content that:

> . . (i) are made using the digital platform service;and

> . . (ii) are made on a part of the digital platform service that is set up and able to be edited by the registered news business;

> (b) ensure that the registered news business corporation can disable the making of such comments;

If I'm reading that correctly, if someone posts a news corporation to Facebook, the news corporation gets to delete / edit / moderate any Facebook replies.

I think they (the legislators) have lost the plot.

In another section the draft legislation requires Facebook / Google to notify the news organisation of changes to their page rank / feed algorithm, and also provide advice on how to mitigate the effects of those changes.

Google's claim the bill grants news media business special privileges no other organisation on the planet has is not too far from the truth.

How would you define criminal liability to achieve this?

You have a bug that, at best allows a third-party runtime to execute a malicious program without warning the user that the program is untrusted. Practically, how would you write a statute so that this case would be different from Windows not warning about malicious file in $arbitrary third-party file format$ that exploits bug in $arbitrary third-party software$? You don't want vendors legally responsible for the behavior of third-party code on their systems, that's how you get entirely walled-garden platforms that have no user freedom.
Isn't gpt3-generated prose always seeded by some words or sentences? I'm curious what the poster used as seed, and why/if they chose to focus on UI?

> I think you're going to find it a very hard sell to convince me that I don't experience qualia. I don't know what it's like to feel pain? I don't experience sight, or sound, or abstract thoughts and beliefs, as subjective experiences?

Well, what would you expect to be different if you weren't? Presumably you'd still behave the same way that you do now (because by definition qualia aren't the externally observable parts of your experience), so none of the experiences that affect your decision-making process can be part of them - so wouldn't existing without qualia feel exactly the same as existing with qualia? In which case, why are you sure that you're not already doing it?

What if you're not actually conscious, you just think you are?

I think what cblconfederate is getting into is the business environment with nothing but bad options. It's the Walmart conundrum for suppliers except for internet content production. Google and Facebook are the Walmart in this.

The success of Walmart created an environment where only good business decisions in a short term destroyed of the brand and profits in the long term.

(1) If supplier did not deal trough Walmart, their market gradually declined because Big-Box Retailers squeezed out alternative channels.

(2) Eventually supplier made deal with Walmart to stop decline in the market share. First years saw profits increase and huge increase in sales. But Walmart buyers come in regularly every year and demand smaller price. And they don't take no as an answer. They are ruthless negotiators and religious about cutting prices. First supplier profit margins drop, then absolute profits, then they must cut the quality of the product. Eventually they have destroyed their brand and the product.

There are hundreds of suppliers who suffered this fate. Destruction of Levi Strauss brand and quality is classic business case.

To me that sounds like it's intended to cover comments made on posts on the news business's own Facebook page, rather than comments made on other pages or personal profiles, etc.

Far right users are most commonly stupid like old cheese but I doubt the "investigate unit" is something I would want a business like Google to entail. Some form of hobby police is why I wouldn't want to share anything with Google in the first place.

Oh come on, French / German / English use loan words from each other all the time for various reasons. Often in German the English word just sounds better. Also you have no idea if the OP speaks French or not you just made the assumption, the rest of your comment and all your comments in this thread just read like shitposts.
Yeah, they decided to have a magic number of 6 when they started standardising. Given that lots of private (nee public) schools have smaller class sizes, this made the bias worse.

As much as I appreciate the desire for governments to stem the tide, what you're saying is likely very difficult--if not impossible--for a government to effectively stop. Of course, people who don't want to break the law will comply but those who don't care will have no trouble doing as they please.

This is a very disappointing response from the ACCC. It seems to be extremely misleading in its own right.

> Google will not be required to charge Australians for the use of its free services

Google did not state this. The ACCC - the supposed detached "fair" regulator, in charge of creating this code, just made something up to suit their own ends.

> Google will not be required to share any additional user data with Australian news businesses

The code [1] literally says:

"The responsible digital platform must ... give information about how the registered news business corporation can gain access to ... the data that the digital platform service collects (whether or not it shares the data with the registered news business)about the registered news business’ users through their engagement with covered news content made available by the digital platform service" (Page 10, Section 52M).

The ACCC here is straight up lying. I would like any of the people vocally defending it here to say what they think about this.

NB: I think it is quite telling that it's quite hard to dig out the actual draft code [1] - they don't seem to link to it in any of their press releases etc. They actually don't want people to be able to discuss this openly from what I can tell:

I'm not sure what the complaint is here. The concept of "hand-crafted software" _is_ being praised. Consider:

+ the domain url exists : https://handmade.network/ ... this means some enthusiasts spent money to host a focal point for showcasing the work to others

+ the submission is currently on the frontpage of HN ... which means it was upvoted many times (more than 50+ as of this writing)

+ comments in this thread showing appreciation of it

Are you annoyed that there isn't universal absolute flattery because a few want to mention caveats of tradeoffs? Well, that's true of any piece of technology/method.

I rescued a load just before lockdown else it was going in the rubbish, some of it was from the early 1980s or late 1970s.

Youtube is fantastic for this. What you'll find out is that once you understand how DNA works (codons map to amino acids), and that amino acids fold into specific 4D shapes that trap molecule A and mush it into molecule B to make molecule C, the rest kind of falls into place.

But don’t third-party content providers rely just as much on Google as the inverse?
Mmm... Stereotype much? I see why you don’t mind the newscorp news.

Then ACCC is far from in the right here; this seems to be being driven by political motivations, not some motivation to do the best for Australia / Australians.

The ACCC has plenty of opportunity to explain why it’s better this way, and don’t seem to have clearly articulated it.

“Better for democracy” or “better for newscorp”? You tell me; why the ABC and SBS are excluded from this?

...because that’s what the government wants. The ACCC Looks increasingly like it’s just a mouthpiece.
So the ACCC gets a blank check to make any kind of rebuttal based on their reputation? That's the opposite of a rational argument.
> both high- and low-achieving students were celebrating when the standardised exams got cancelled here in Ireland

They celebrated the message "Exams are cancelled"

If the message had instead been "Exams are cancelled, at this school A grade students will receive a C instead" I suspect you'd have seen a very different response.
Agreed, that’s what the clause (ii) restriction is for.
Yea it's not nature's way, just a convention. But it's an intuitive convention because it's easy to assume that digits which are shown are correct and digits which aren't shown are unknown. The alternative - throwing away the majority of information about the error would make lots of numbers pretty useless. Is 130 F really 100 F with too many digits?
If some students would prefer to take exams and some not, it seems obvious to let only those students who want take the exams. Propose the model’s grades to the student. If they accept it, you’re done, if they refuse then let them do an exam. Likely 80% or more of students would accept the proposed grades and it would make it doable to organize socially distanced exams for the rest.

The problem is that they were all told no exams would take place and exam prep from schools largly stopped due to the schools being physically closed.
I see what you mean - I'm not sure if it's a question of the model itself or how well it's communicated, or whether that's a meaningful distinction. Perhaps a better model would be that there's a spectrum of how well-defined a model is: for a good model everyone agrees on what it does or doesn't cover, a mediocre model is one where people agree about some cases but disagree about a lot of edge cases, and a bad model people don't agree about at all. And then the claim is that "consciousness" doesn't actually add any understanding or communicate anything, because people don't really agree about any more cases of it (beyond being just a synonym for "human").
It looks like a very good product. All the best.
