Git-lfs isn't built into git, it's a separate thing you need to go find and download, or pull in from your package manager. It's a hack on top of git.
Agree. There is never a single cause to this kind of error. It takes a village. Someone didn't name things properly, someone else didn't store backups properly, someone else gave everyone root access to production, etc. It was inevitable the database would be deleted - doesn't matter who actually did it.

If your CTO scattered those landmines all over then "not stepping right" is not an error. It just sucks.
it’s a technicality, but if you do this to all the machines at precise same time it would not work. the attack relies on the grid being there and leveraging the power it generates to destroy one piece of equipment.

that said, you could take out a significant number by performing the attack in a serial fashion

Unfortunately the bottom rung can least afford the fraud.

If the currency is good enough to fool a street vendor, it’s probably good enough to spend with their suppliers. Not like they’re sticking it in a bank. I suspect those street vendors are also not accepting bills so large they’re worth counterfeiting.

Chargeback fraud of course being more likely with credit card payments - but again, unlikely for small vendor transactions. It’s not worth it for anyone.

The argument that people don’t carry cash anymore is certainly real enough - and the beggars/window washer at a red light types are the most impacted rather than real merchants.
Step 3 could just as easily be "continue to adjust salaries to remain competitive in expensive markets"
Having a more-powerful-than-necessary CPU has many benefits, here are some:

- Less heat produced > allows for smaller heatsinks and, as a result, smaller devices or bigger components

- Performance bottlenecks become less likely

- Features like 120hz display refresh rate become possible without the user noticing degradation

- Faster OS boot and app starts

- Ability to do more work locally vs using a server (see the many ML features)

- Tech debt in system code is less of an issue - code can be shipped early and optimized later

>It's not like there's a lack of historical precedent

So what? You don't get to assume something because something completely unrelated happened.
The only case where residents would be unhappy is when said residents flood the market causing meaningful inflation across local markets. It takes the entirety of the bay area young professionals to keep the bay area as expensive as it is.
1. Would the dispersion of the same talent (assuming talent isn't suddenly growing in size) + local tech talent being paid higher cause the same inflation even when split over a large number of cities?
2. If said inflation happens, would they not move again?
I believe incentives here are to distribute this talent across the US, not concentrate in new cheaper centers
Where researchers only finding warming results back then? or also cooling results? how would they know which were most reliable?
I have been thinking about leaving github for a while. It is a very good platform, but as time passes, I realized I wanted to be more in control of my projects.

Yesterday, I moved about 250 repos away to a gitea instance. Transition required a bit of tinkering (a few scripts) but went smoothly.

The good sides are:

- very fast, a lot faster than github for pushing/pulling but also the web UI is a lot faster

- I'm in total control, I can change the look of the UI, create as many orgs as I want to organize my repos…

Now the cons:

- No social network effect, I don't know how contributions to my projects will evolve

- Subject to DDoS and the like, I need to keep my instance accessible because I moved my FOSS projects on it

Maybe more, it's been one day only.

I am not suggesting all project should move out of github, it is a very good tool, but I think it wouldn't be bad to rely less on it.
Thank you for your suggestions
Humans are very good at visual memory, thanks to millions of years of evolutionary pressure to hunt game and gather for food. Hence why the best memory champions in the world mostly use the concept of "memory palaces." When you think of a car, do you see a car in your head or does a dictionary definition (i.e. purely language knowledge) of a car pop in your mind?
Perhaps that will provide incentive for employees to move to lower COL areas, or more importantly allow talented individuals to stay near where they grew up and stem the brain drain from rural communities. Both of these would seem like good outcomes to me.
I really appreciate this analysis and the straightforward top line number 134e6/mm^2. The usual "node" figure is utterly meaningless; an electrical engineer couldn't care less about "feature" size (whatever that means.) What is the count of discrete components in a given area? There are 40 billion 5nm (the supposed "node" of these chips) squares in a millimeter of area. That's two orders of magnitude more dense than 134 million.

The meaningful achievement is how many discrete electrical components are composed into a given area. Not some arbitrary dimension of some cherry picked subset of these components.
Posting from a throwaway since I use my real name (and reference my employer) on my primary account...

Is nobody else worried that policies like this are going to end up penalizing workers who genuinely prefer living in an urban, high-COL area? I'm not sitting here in Brooklyn eagerly awaiting a chance to move to a cheap giant home in the suburbs - I genuinely like walkable communities, and moved to one, and found a job there which paid me enough to justify the high COL.

This feels like a regression-to-the-mean sort of move, where the net effect over time will be all tech salaries becoming reduced as the labor pool spreads to cheaper areas and the national average market rates become depressed. It'll be great for those who genuinely like living in small towns in the midwest, they'll probably still be doing well relative to the local average. It'll be horrible for those who genuinely like living in expensive coastal areas - the pressure to move to a cheaper place will be enormous.

(And thats not to say anything about my belief that a lot of low-COL areas afford to be cheap by providing poor social services, which feels like we're diminishing the ability of high-COL areas to apply social pressure to elevate the standard of living of other states and regions...)

Am I thinking about this the wrong way, or are high-COL urban workers going to take a hit here?
You have direct access to your own subjective experience. Do you deny that it is like something to be you?
> I am worried about the precedent this sets and the long term consequences. I can certainly imagine a scenario that plays out like the following:

It will perhaps lead to an equilibrium where salaries are consistent across the US. I'm more curious about the effect it will have on the economy.

But, now I wonder why is the boundary the US? Why not pay the same in Canada or Europe or Asia too? Are they any less valuable?
You’d need critical mass for that. San Diego (I wouldn’t put it into LCOL either) is close enough to LA that many “creatives” with high Hollywood comp already could (and do) move there and commute. There’s also a decent tech scene.

It has increased some costs, but nothing like Bay Area peninsula for example. You just don’t get the critical mass and no building like that in SD or any other place I’ve seen, save for Manhattan.
> That's another way to make your brain work, use a terrible font.

And suddenly my complex analysis prof who wrote his exams in Comic Sans is vindicated!
Think even smaller for where people might go. There are a lot of small towns (50-100k pop) with great quality of living where some remote workers will thrive. I’m talking places not part of larger metropolitan areas.
Nothing says “We don’t give a shit; you gave us your money” quite like having to wait a couple of hours for an update immediately after installing a game.
Tell that to all the other animals on Earth. Do they not also have knowledge? Do you really think they encode their knowledge in language?

Do you really think that humans are so special as to encode all their knowledge in language? Watch a movie. Listen to a song. Examine a piece of art. Feel sculpture. Play a guitar. Dance.

There is a segment of the software community that is highly language centric/adept. But that community is often blind to other forms of understanding.

Just look at the language of Shakespeare. Much of the language is visual and experiential. How much would you actually understand without your senses and imagination? Your knowledge encompasses your being.
What if they lied about how much music was worth though? You can stream 10,000+ songs in one month for the price of one album today, in the early 2000s we were asked to believe that was $10,000+ worth of music and their suffering was relative to that...
Sure. How does that relate to my comment?

Either you need (large, not suitable for inclusion or submodules) resources from outside the repo or you don't. If you don't, don't do it. If you do, git-lfs is to me a valid choice and the specific best choice depends on workflow details, and to me it doesn't have any obvious potential to be misused more.
this comment reads like it was generated by GPT-3. sum up your points.
Thanks! I copied it from Prof Wrth's own homepage ;-)
'rolling cipher stuff' - I think you just do a regular web request to a Youtube video page URL (ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...), and the response contains (in a json object) several URLs that point to the video content in various ordinary formats. You don't need to run any JS even, or pull any tricks, just parse the response string and fish out the URLs. 'rolling cipher' means the URLs change (over time, user?), so they aren't useful for sharing to others. What is the 'technical circumvention' here?
Oh, you should see my one-liner.
This doesn't work for me. When I "opt out" it just redirects me to old.reddit.com, and then when I go to reddit.com I get the new look again.

And the opt-out button is missing on mobile. I think something changed a month or two back, that preference used to work.
Why would they do that, when they will have buckets and buckets of applications from people outside of "expensive markets"?
TCL itself is not that bad for the purpose IMO; it's more the stuff around it, the proprietary binary formats, the gooey crap, and the non-open nature thereof.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_magnetic_stimulat...) is a very real thing that has been used for inducing behavioral modification effects.
Maybe this is a hot take for HN, but the quality of engineers is very low on the list of things that makes a company like Reddit a success. The actual infrastructure of the site has been routinely mocked by the Reddit community for years.
> But it becomes an automatic liability issue

Is there? Just because someone claims (without court determining it) that some content is illegal doesn't make it so. So there would have to be some language in the law that the intermediary incurs liability due to mere allegations.
When reading about Alan Mulally's career at Ford, I found it interesting that he and several other auto executives lobbied for carbon taxes. Especially compared to CAFE standards, which made them create unnecessary and undesirable car models simply for accounting purposes.

Obviously it was never going to happen at the time. The car industry was incredibly unpopular, and would never have been able to get congress to push such an unpopular tax for their benefit.
Yes, but that reporting was already part of 9.5?
For each page, you can set `fallback: 'blocking'`. If set, the page is not built at compile time. Instead, it will be compiled the first time it's requested. So the first request will take longer, then after that it'll be fast.

Alternatively, on a per-page decision you could decide to use server side generation (page built at compile time) or server side rendering (page compiled when requested).

You have options that let you spread out the time, but ultimately it's going to take time to build millions of pages.
> IMO it might be a good idea to store binary assets in Git from a "history management" point of view.

You can't diff them, just see that they changed. If you have versions in the filename of the object that helps but isn't great from an auditing perspective. People change filenames, and if someone alters or tampers with the file it's hard to tell. You might argue that this is also possible if you fetch the file somewhere or install a package and link against it, but you have a better audit trail, packages can (should) also be signed.
Also, I'll never understand their hydrogen stunt.

They were to threatened by EVs that they had to spend lots of money creating some nonviable prototypes so they took people's attention away from the iable tech. All that instead of just investing on EVs themselves.
This might be one of the reasons they're transitioning to Apple Silicon, as it will allow them to justify the raising R&D costs over a wider array of products.
Except they were still working within the constraints of climate science of 50 years ago - which was not at a level of credence where you can push drastic policy changes to the economy. That's what I meant.
> Imagine: casual and coffee shop-style seating, private space for heads-down focusing, larger bookable resources and collaboration spaces for teams to strategically meet IRL, and no more fixed desks—we’ll have neighborhoods for teams to gather and bookable desks for employees working in the office.

As much as I'm supportive of having flexible working and with that flexible office space, I really don't like the idea of non-fixed desks/hotdesking. Ergonomics and having a correct desk setup up for your needs is incredibly important and something we don't value as much as we should.

I'm 50/50 on whether I'd like to go to back to the office in the future (not having to take the tube in London is massive plus) but if I do I'd want my own desk setup, monitors set up at my required height and a comfortable chair. Hopefully that's not much too much to ask?
The commercial streaming solutions are only going to be good until they're the only game in town. Commercial entities don't simply build good things and leave them intact for people to benefit from with no profit motive. Once the leverage is there, there will be abusive monetization, consumers will be treated like crap, until perhaps some breaking point where it can be disrupted.

How would streaming become the only game in town? Piracy and any other online mischief are being stamped out the hard way, by taking control of our technology from us. Approved operating system, approved drivers, approved software, approved browser, approved websites, no piracy, no privacy, no deviance.
... which revision is equally based upon the erroneous premise that all of those WWW sites are the same as YouTube. Clearly, with all of the hundreds of "extractors", they are not.
I have worked at Google and Amazon. I never required PMs to be in the loop for a feature launch at either of the two.

Having said that, both Google and Amazon has excellent PMs and there are teams that require PMs to be in the loop for a feature launch but it is not universal.
Can imagine PMs at a product focused HN like forum complaining about the opposite aka engineers spending time at the wrong places
If productivity isn't affected by location why wouldn't the salaries rise accordingly? Companies don't care how much housing costs in an area are, they care about the compensation vs. what they get.
Right but you better believe they have already started planning what they are going to say for the next phase where they reduce the pay and recommend that people don't live in SF or NY etc.
I agree, but this may still result in a happier workforce. I expect that many people live and work in the bay area because of the higher salaries; this may encourage them to prioritize other factors in their lives.
What's the relative heat dissipation between logic & SRAM on a chip? The article talks about layering as a potential way forward for SRAM, but that would come with more complex TDP management, unless SRAM isn't burning watts at the same rate as the rest of the chip.
Most climate change activists also have tied being for climate change to a political identity. Their solutions to fixing the problem of green house gasses in the atmosphere call for wholesale changes to the current political and cultural system used in the West. If the only goal of the climate change activists was to get CO2 ppm in the atmosphere back to 300, then they should be just advocating for a carbon tax that ratchets down greenhouse gas emissions fairly quickly. Instead many of them are advocating the elimination of capitalism, free markets, and the patriarchy.
If GPT-3 has a consistent position on anything, it's only because the corpus it was trained on was consistent about it. So, for example, it will reliably autocomplete Jabberwocky because there are a lot of copies of this poem in the corpus and they are all the same.

If there were two versions of this poem that started the same way, it would pick between the variations in the corpus randomly. In other cases it might choose based on the style of prose or other stuff like that.

GPT-3 can get some trivia right, but it's only because the editors of Wikipedia already came to consensus about it and Wikipedia was weighted more. It doesn't have a way of coming to a consistent conclusion on its own.

Without consistency, how can it be said to know or believe anything? You might as well ask what a library believes. Sure, the authors may have believed things, but it depends which book you happen to pick up.
It's popular at CMU? It got a huge-for-pure-math grant 5 years ago (https://homotopytypetheory.org/2014/04/29/hott-awarded-a-mur...)? Idk.
Have you compared it to using Hangouts? I have no problem with the in-browser video quality on Hangouts, and get even better quality using a direct P2P WebRTC link.

I think Zoom is doing its own streaming schengens in the browser with JS and not using the native WebRTC framework for video streaming. It's very possible that they made the web client experience deliberately poor so that they could sell you on downloading the native client, and then spy on you.
> I've thought about this since the early part of this year when a middle manager in my company's Communications department dismissively told me that she could do my job because, "I know code." What does that even mean?

Frustrating. And I know how to read and write, but it doesn’t mean I could write a decent novel.

What a lot of people don’t understand about software development is that for any non-trivial project, “coding” is the easy part, the real challenge is in the managing of complexity.
YouTube is increasingly only a few pain points from mass exodus from both creators and audience. Advertisers and copyright maximalists less so.

Bandwidth and distribution are no longer the limitations on independent hosting they once were. Independent discovery methods (e.g., DDG video search), are improving. Noncommercial orientation makes youtube-dl and similar mechanisms a net positive --- simplify the web-based delivery, increase viewer flexibility, provide greater tolerance for network or system variability.

My own interest in YouTube has very little to do with commercial mass media, and far less to do with ad-seeking chum-spewing bottom-feeders.
Crack is wack. When you smoke crack you do crazy things, at least that's my impression of the drug.
Oh please.

This is just a consumer product from a for-profit corporation. It's an ad.

Comparing it to a situation where millions of people were murdered is incredibly offensive.

Please don't blithely throw around comparisons like that. It doesn't help anything, and is incredibly disrespectful.
I see, yes I usually resort to this when I can't build it myself.
You already refuted this in your original statement.

>why would someone earning 150k in sf should earn the same in Deroit?

I really should write a blog post "How to read a University Press Release". Any time you see a PR like this using the work "potential" it means it's so far from the clinic that you should expect to be dead before you could take advantage of it, no matter your age.

Elaboration and reprocessing is a good way to strengthen memories. The best though is effortful recall -- pulling up a memory that you are close to forgetting.
>For example, GPT-3 knows more trivia than I do.

no it doesn't, GPT-3 is a very sophisticated parrot. it doesn't know any trivia, it knows how to put the most likely string of characters next to the one it just saw, it doesn't matter what the text represents. That's the difference between you and the model.

It's basically the Chinese room. You can make an analog GPT-3 by asking a question, recording your answer, handing someone who doesn't understand a word of your language the giant box of tapes, and she tries to match them together until she appears to make sense to listeners
Keep pumping the stock but that doesn't make full self driving a reality. What tesla is claiming is not going to be available for a long time.

Also in this case "bugs" means the safety of every one on the road.
You are targeted for this because you are in the network of the one who purchased/searched for it.

Works like a charm with Facebook and items with a high price tab (like high end phones) because the one who search for the phone advices with the end buyer.

I've never seen it for low price tag items. Probably there is an algorithm out there calculating the odds of becoming you a customer. Probably you are on the age target for that brand.
I bought my iPad Pro because it offered the smoothest RAW photo proofing process of any product I've used. A lot of this is obviously up to software as well as hardware, but still - the beefy processor is useful here.
The mobile website has deliberate unnecessary delays in order to force you onto the mobile app. Are reddit frontend engineers actually proud of this behavior?
Can you give concrete examples when data processing on the CPU is clearly better than on the GPU?

Before I was working with time series, and there the CPU really shined, but right now I'm classifying sick patients using DNA methylation data (about 100-300 GB / dataset). I'm using a convolutional network that already gives me state of the art results, but I want to experiment with self attention based neural networks. While I'm doing this, most of the biologists are still using logistic regression that can be computed on the CPU.

I see more and more domains (even simulations) where neural networks can outperform classical methods if you know how to apply them, and CPUs can never match the GPU performance. Also as I wrote, the slowest part of all these networks is the matrix multiplication (self attention is especially depending on it).
Haha yeah, I was the young guy working with a lot of senior, senior engineers. The code was often atrocious. Those guys had a ton of knowledge, but software was just an afterthought to them. On the plus side, it kept things simple. Definitely a new world these days.
The max label value length is too low
Reposting my comment from an unrelated thread, on this:

"I think there is too much information around for the average person to filter and process and digest. All three are important parts of living in a society and it looks to me like even with e.g. economic issues alone, it's just very hard for (to be fair) anybody to keep up.

In turn, people reach out to conspiracy theories to simplify the world around them with obvious answers and explanations."
I thought it was also interesting that cost-per-transistor had remained the same as well.
