Humans need not necessarily know that it's an AI-created framework. If the I/O mechanism of the AI were an internet link, it could do all the work through twitter/reddit, blog posts, hell it could even hack its articles into news sites. All it needs to do is continue doing this until enough humans take the bait and bring it into non-internet.
It's specifically about speaking properly.

Nobody gives a shit when Uber classifies their drivers as independent contractors to stiff them on benefits, but everybody cares about the propriety of master/slave replication terminology. We're dealing with police violence by capitalizing Black in our style guides. Etc etc etc.
I believe this is the article in question.

The author of the submitted article spent multiple paragraphs describing how it is not pretty easy to accumulate enough money to break the cycle of poverty, so if you want to maybe write a long form explaining how to effectively and realistically do so for people in this situation, that’d be great.
> People want to be millionaires, not to stare at 7 digits on a webpage, but for the lifestyle it affords

Some do. Others do not.

My boss makes ~300k a year base. He drives a ten year old Golf, carries zero debt, and plans his (very infrequent) meals out around "which restaurant is running a 'kids eat free' special today?"

His goal is to build up a sizeable savings, retire and live off interest, and provide generational wealth for each of his children.

One of his peers makes ~300k a year base and enjoys driving a Ferrari that costs more than my house. Different strokes for different folks :)

Definitely! Mine is $500/year for full coverage in the UK.
And perhaps, in this era of such free and open access to information, individuals are being held to a higher standard of not speaking from a position of authority without the knowledge that can be gleaned from that free and open access and not doubling-down on their ignorance when it is brought to light for them?
Isn’t MAGMA more like a canned set of linear algebra routines rather than a general interface for executing arbitrary code on GPUs? That’s pretty different.
As senior engineer, I always advise people to avoid companies that put any emphasis on intangible things like passion as hiring criteria.

It’s highly subjective and leads to in group thinking and monoculture dependencies. Passion is usually fleeting.

My advice is to demonstrate perseverance. Show the drive for professional solutions, analytics on metrics to discern what works and doesn’t work.
I appreciate the parent commenter's post and agree with his conclusions. However, I feel like your point is often overlooked. I'm not as passionate about software development as I would like to be. I enjoy it, but I find other hobbies and interests take up too much of my time outside work to devote the time I would like to programming.

I'm semi-passionate, but probably not passionate enough to get a job at somewhere like Valve. That's fine. However, if the local software shop wants a passionate developer but isn't willing to provide the pay and benefits commensurate with their demands, that's a problem. Employers can't expect to hire passionate, experienced developers when they pay well under market rates and only want to offer 15 days of PTO starting out.
It's not entirely free of overhead. The overhead is constant per invocation though, so it's entirely free of _quadratic_ behavior. Which is what's being discussed.
Windows Terminal Preview 1.7 Release
I very rarely read long Hacker News articles to the end. This one is fascinating.

A few years ago I watched a Netflix series about extreme cheapskates. (I think it was called "Extreme Cheapskates.") The thing that struck me were the older "cheapskates" who realized the kind of economics in this article. They retired young and follow many of the same habits described in this article, and are totally happy.

One guy bikes everywhere and only eats weird cuts of meat and fish that no one else wants. Then he scrounges loose change in parking lots to pay for his "vacations." Another family only buys "expired but good" food and has a creative way to replace toilet paper. They got into the habit when they needed to get out of debt and just decided that they'd rather put their money elsewhere.

The series made me NEVER complain about money again, even while I was unemployed during the pandemic.
Agreed. "It can be done" would be a more appropriate phrasing, IMO. I dug myself out of worse circumstances than OP described, but it took a lot of luck, persistence, and a good amount of risk taking to get there. I guess it helped that I was at a point where I didn't have much to lose, so, risk taking seemed less risky than staying where I was.
Force...

Yeah, I am not going to use the new thing at all. Will go the same way the last new thing did.

Repeat this a few times and users are seeking. I am.
Sure, this sounds reasonable, but it's really not when you look at the magnitudes of our impact over time. It's clear that the actions of the last 50-100 years or so are in extreme excess of what can be stabilised by the global weather and ecological systems. We've gone from about two thirds remaining natural wilderness in the world in the early 1900s to one third remaining today. The continued survival of most species, including ours, is very much in danger if we don't reverse a lot of this.
I didn't understand your reply until I realized that I had specifically mentioned the driveshaft. On those vehicles that you mention, it'd be much harder as you'd have to drop the transmission and connect to the crankshaft.

Not impossible, but probably not practical and certainly likely to void various parts of the warranty.
I think it depends on how the interview goes? If the candidate is "passionate" about watering their solo house plant, maybe not as much.

On the other hand, I can't imagine someone with tons of OSS contributions who _isn't_ passionate about programming at some level.

I do not know who this guy is.

I don't read the NYT.

I have a hard time reading long texts. I get distracted or bored real quick and switch to a different tab.

But these 4 articles were so interesting and horrifying to read I read them all in one setting. I'm sorry that this happened. This is a nightmare of mine. Someone gets a hold of some stupid thing that I said or did (as a joke back in college) or in this case as an honest attempt to explain stuff to teenagers, and now you have to go over every single word and explain yourself. and as soon as you start explaining yourself, you have lost the argument (I learned this when I tried to explain myself to my partner. I've learnt that no matter if I'm right or wrong, I should just apologize. It's faster and less painful.)

He called for using military force against civil rights activists. Is this the kind of great intellectual leap forward the grandparent post was talking about? Because if you want to talk about cancelling things, using the military to crush and jail activism is cancelling things pretty hard.
Medicare is reasonably cheap (assuming you paid Medicare taxes for at least 7.5 years; if you did not, it's at least $471/month). To be clear, "relatively cheap" is "at least $148.50/month; more if you have more income during retirement".

But past the premiums, there are deductibles, coinsurance (e.g. for hospital stays longer than 60 days), you still have to pay for medicines (how much varies), etc. See https://www.medicare.gov/your-medicare-costs/medicare-costs-... and the links from it for details.
> My prediction is that more lower fee txns will win since competition from other cryptocurrencies will cap the txn fee that people are willing to pay

Exactly my analysis too.
This is really cool. I frequently have to build reference architectures for work. I would love to add a feature where if you put quotes around a word, it would search for a folder of logos and add the tool's logo to the square.

For example, typing "Redshift" adds a Redshift db icon to the box.
I think the ones you are thinking of are those that specifically called out as being made as a child or only just out of childhood. Yes people who work hard in school or university should be rewarded (both in principle and because, as a practical matter, they make a financially greater contribution to society). But the converse to that doesn't fully hold: people that make bad decisions as a child should still be given a chance to redeem themselves, somehow, later in life.
Well, peoples' expectations have changed in America since we declared independence from Japan.
The person with OSS contributions has a lower bar to prove their competency for job-related tasks, because they happen to already have a body of work to show that competence.

However if we get a more competent candidate who likes gardening more than programming, we'll absolutely choose them over the pure passion person because they'll do the job better. They just have to show that competence in some other way, e.g. via the interviews or past job accomplishments.
> Don't emulate it!

Where in this thread do I justify or emulate? Please quote something from any of my posts that would give you the impression that I approve of "cancel culture".

However, if people are genuinely concerned about chilling speech, then why are they spending so much effort to call out SJW in a tiny handful of big cities instead of raising hell about the overt and often legal discrimination that happens in tens of thousands of rural communities?

It's hard for me to take the concern about cancel culture seriously when the concern is exclusively focused on one side of the political/cultural divide even though the phenomenon happens far more on the other side of that divide. I have zero confidence that such concerns are genuine.
There's also a difference between saying something stupid and having some people telling you to knock it off. And posting it or having it posted to Twitter with a possible consequence like a bunch of people emailing your employer demanding you be fired. Which they probably will because it's easier that way if you really did say something you shouldn't have.
Libang Surgical Technologies | Software Lead | Vancouver, BC | Onsite | Full Time

Vancouver based medical device company just entering our 2nd year. Join a great and growing team building robotics for image guided therapy. We are remote-ish for Covid-19 reasons but longer term looking for a local software lead. You will have lots of direct interaction with hardware and hardware teams, as well as taking a lead in defining and implementing production software and practices.
We are ideally looking for someone who has shipped multiple systems in the medical device industry (e.g., FDA compliant) with hardware/software components. Anyone with significant production experience in similar areas will definitely be considered.

Our software ranges from control systems through image processing to hospital IT infrastructure and user interfaces. We would love to talk to people who are systems thinkers who would enjoy contributing across various layers and are excited by the prospect of responsibility for one or more subsystems.

Must have existing permission to work in Canada, or a plan for it. Mention HN in the email and resume you send to jobs (at) libangsurgical.com
Yeah I could never afford to do a Masters or PhD where those people now seem to be doing extra well.
Any specific ones?

From 2005 until 2015 I ran my own development company. Since 2015 I’ve been using that experience to help companies and development teams take ‘the next step’. The next step in delivering higher quality products, the next step in gaining higher developer velocity and the next step in being a more predictable in planning and outcome.

I strongly believe the following factors help in taking this next step: 1. Never compromise in code quality. 2. Standardize as much as possible (to prevent reinventing the wheel and focus on adding value) 3. Automate everything 4. Create a safe to fail environment.
That is cancel culture too. No one upthread made this about political sides. Why are you?
This is the case with all wash trading. It only works if you can create a greater fool in the process (net of fees).

However wash trading is rampant in crypto.
> There is no era of Western history where unpopular opinions were more acceptable than today. In the past, dissenting opinions voiced loudly were often punished by blacklisting or excommunication or prison or death.

Granted, but what's the logic here? We ought to content ourselves with regression so long as no one is being imprisoned or killed? We want to progress, not regress. We don't want a conformist society, we want a tolerant society[^1]. We want free speech[^2], not compelled/coerced speech. We want ideas to compete freely so the best rise to the top; we don't want a prescribed set of beliefs to be forced on everyone.

I'm not clear why this applies, she wasn't dropped by her publisher or blacklisted. She chose to cancel the story herself.
I used to feel to belong to "The Left" (whatever that is) precisely because it did not do these things. Now it does, and sees it even as a moral imperative to do so.

I'm on the autism spectrum, as are many others around here. Social rules are hard in the best of times. Now they are impossible to follow, and breaking them is outright dangerous.

But I can keep to myself, I guess I'll be fine.

‘Elite’ researchers dominate citation space
The problem is most people buy more car than they can afford when they finance it. If I have to save $10,000, and I have it in my mind that I don't buy things on credit, I'm only going to buy a $10,000 car. But if I have $1,000 for a down payment and the car dealership talks me into a $30,000 car with zero down, I might take that deal.

Keep in mind, you're referring to a comment on a message board that took maybe 30 minutes to write, and likely less, not an op-ed in the NYT. Read more charitably, and in context, "poverty doesn't have a color" sounds more like "people of any race can end up poor."

I applied to a catch-all job opening on their site when they first came out of stealth mode. Somehow I got an interview with Andy. I read some of his research papers before the interview [0] in case there was something I could reference in the interview. It was pretty clear that wasn't feasible (I'm still laughing at my hubris for even thinking this was a possibility), but it was still fun trying to understand such technical concepts!

I didn't know they are YC-backed! I saw them getting some strong recommendations from former Blue Origin colleagues. Clearly they are building a very talented team; I'm eager to see what they are working on. I have tons of questions (first stage choice, fuel, secret sauce, etc) but seems like they are keeping things under wraps pretty tightly. But if they can somehow deliver on 2nd stage reuse at a smaller scale than Starship, then I can't wait to see the advanced technology & techniques they use to get there.

Name one prominent scientist who is on record (and has tenure) who holds the position that the origin of the big bang as taught today is un-scientific. Of course there are Christian scientists, but Academia only promotes and gives tenure to atheists for a growing number of fields.

If you're going to hold yourself up as the more enlightened group, it creates a bit of an obligation to act that way. In my book at least.
Apologies are frequently taken as admission and only fan the flames.
Its quite amazing that he's an experienced journalist and he knows its worth publishing your own work directly because you know journalists will subjectively misquote you. Its a good lesson.
In fact, having the length of the string was not required. Certain ways of implementing scanf() required getting the length of the string, or otherwise scanning the whole thing.

But saner ways did not.
I don't think you understand newspeak. The words on the right mean the same as the original meaning of the word on the left. The meanings of words change over time, languages do that.
Yes it's true I don't think that universities are directly involved in that sort of innovation. What I meant is that they're supposed to produce smart people who invent something new, not necessarily via academic research. Thanks for that list too. Regarding the repeated "ad company", it would be nice to see something modern-day Adobe which isn't an ad company and Macromedia that are _real_ software companies.
That's called peer pressure through capital control. It's a feature of Capitalism to ruin people's lives through their jobs because of the opinions they hold. This is happened time and time again in US/World history:

- Civil rights activists being fired from their jobs

- Red scare and people getting fired from their jobs

- etc

If we want this problem to go away we need to stop connecting your ability to live to your ability to hold a job. Everything else is just treating various symptoms of the problem.
I am curious what era of US history do you think was free of this stuff?
I'm having a hard time trusting Intel with anything AI mid to long term. OpenVINO was great until they removed support for Intel FPGAs, and they've been closing and deprecating low-level APIs that were necessary for low-latency, low-watt work on ex-Movidius hardware (and KeemBay always seems to be 'next semester'...). We already have huge lock-in with Nvidia, but at least we get wide expertise and huge perf boost, what does oneAPI bringing expect 'portability' and 'runs as fast as tf/torch/TVM'... OpenCL? Rocm? Vulkan targets? Who's going to debug and support that?

I'm struggling to see what's enticing in this for python people that already have largely optimised torch and tf cpu and gpu backends, especially for batch work. And for latency-sensitive inference, I thought the 'industry' was going for TVM or other 'target all the things at code level'.

I'm thinking: gimme your network in onnx format, everyone gives a C inference/compilation API, and let everyone optimize /behind/ that... Xilinx, AMD, whoever-Google-bought-last-week...
