Google has done a lot of effort in that direction. The first ever chips have already been produced that are fully open source from the tools used to make to the complete tool chain need to manufacture them.

There is a huge amount of great stuff going on this this area.

What I’m worried about is there is no talks about sequencing this strain to see if it’s different in any major way, aka Covid approach.

Anecdotally, there were 50% less kids today in daycare.
Correct. That's why I said "As long as you comply with the terms of the GPL".
It's all the same scam - you send them your dna to do some fun test, like see what % of neanderthals genes you have or how much Scottish you are (which is btw a total scam because error margins on these tests are usually huge and thus results are pretty meaningless) and your dna ends up in their database forever, and they can data-mine and cross-analyze and sell it as they wish. Of course they have good lawyers and EULAs and it's all legally covered, but it's just as immoral.
I guess this is probably the story that gets repeated in places like HN which I agree is common.

However, if you ever talk to uber drivers or your waiters they will complain about how expensive California is. Or even people at parties who are in between jobs and thinking of moving to where they grew up. I guess in real life I just hear more people talk about the general cost of living argument than a than the specific anti-tech one.
I can't imagine it happening either, but I also:

1. Don't like tempting fate.

2. Am very aware of the limits of my imagination. 15 years ago, I probably wouldn't have been able to predict Facebook having the sorts of downsides that are now glaring.

Have you seen the fees airbnb charges?
I have been toying with this idea and my solution is to use email.

Everytime I made purchase my bank (BankOfAmerica) send me an email, I parse that email and write data to a google sheet.

It's great because I don't need to give credential to service like Plaid.

I used webhook of service like https://hanami.run and configure my bank to send email notification to name@domain.com (my own domain). Hook it up with hanami.run webhook (or any email to webhook service) and voila, now you can parse the email body and do whatever you want with it, in real time. Bank sends email pretty quick.
I do not have any data to present. I only have my personal observations and anecdotes from my peers. Which is why something seems off when this article claims the exodus is a myth when I see so many California license plates and when my realtor friend says a lot of Californians are buying up houses in the local market.

I don't claim to be a better researcher than the folks in the article but the conclusion doesn't seem to add up.
GCC vs llvm competition has been beneficial for C++, though
I just don't believe this article at all. No way this is even true.
It clouds his vision and his arguments unfortunately, it happens on both sides of the debate of course. But it would imo be preferable to see more reasonable debate happening.

Can anyone suggest a resource to learn how to distinguish the various types of construction by civilization found around the Med? For example you come across the foundation of an ancient building in Greece. It could be Mycenaean, Classical, Hellenistic, or Roman, but to my eye they all look like stone and mortar.
what a dumb quote by bezos
There is a broader pattern showing that generally most forecasts and predictive models are utterly useless or detrimental in the case of actual novelty. Look at just-in-time supply chains during the pandemic: in many sectors the system grinded to a halt. First, the run on toilet paper, then meat products, then wood (and many more). Did refrigerant suppliers know that the heat dome would cause millions of PNW denizens realize that AC is now an essential?

Most AI is trained on historical data. Adoption of such tools is going to need to rely further on wild simulation and adversarial networks if they are to be effective in the highly dynamic world we have entered into.
I'm actually not sure that it works that way.

I watch a lot of YouTube content that's outright demonetized, and demonetization consistently correlates with recommendations and views plummeting as well. Yet this same content still shows up in my recommendations. My theory is that for free users, YouTube prefers to recommend videos that are monetized, because obviously they have a vested interest in doing so. For premium users, YouTube doesn't care about ad revenue--in fact, they may even have a slight incentive to recommend demonetized videos because then they don't have to pay a share of my premium subscription revenue to the creator. Instead, they're optimizing for keeping me interested enough to maintain my subscription.
This is a gross oversimplification of the matter. This fork asked the public for names (mistake) and when they didn't like the most popular name they disqualfied it, and labelled any attempts to ask why as trolling.

Given that the Tenacity team wanted to be a fork for everyone, having their first action be refusing a popular vote was a bad look and things allegedly escalated from there.

There are a few sibling comments explain this by saying that, since the law is divine, so are the loopholes. That doesn't tell the whole story.

A big chunk of judaism has always centered about cultural preservation. In a way, the careful crafting of ridiculous loopholes is a stronger indicator about caring that the law exists --ie, presereving the culture-- than blindly following it. And so it's allowed and celebrated.

("What happens when a culture that is built on the notion of being an opressed people finds itself in a position of dominance" is an interesting question and left as an exercise to the reader.)
My question is what GitHub is going to do when people start sending them DMCA takedown notices over their code being distributed through this system.

Currently, if you claim to be a copyright owner GitHub can respond to a DMCA takedown by removing the repository. This might require them to retrain the entire model.

One option for GitHub might be to maintain a blocklist of various code snippets, and if there is a substring match, just don't make the suggestion.
If Google makes an amazing model that no-one can beat it will only be dominate as long as others get access to it freely. But if there are restrictions on access or if it's too expensive, other options will appear and even if they're not as perfect, they'll still be very usable. Imagine a coalition of companies all feeding data, that could compete just as well.

More seriously, I discovered two weird unexpected side effects. First, even when you know it's all pro forma, praise still feels kinda awesome. Also, how you talk changes how you think. So eventually you'll come to actually believe it. Insidious!
If Copilot requires separate payment or signup I[1] fail to see how it can be part of ”the Service” as defined therein, and since the rights to do ”things” to the provided code only go as far ”as necessary to provide the Service” the ToS can’t[2] be used to argue that it gives explicit permission to use provided code for this purpose. Or am I misinterpreting something?

Fair call, all the best to you for it.
Orthodox Jews accept Rambam (Maimonides)'s 13 principles of the faith. Rambam taught that all his 13 principles can be derived from the Torah.

The 10th principle explicitly says that God is omniscient. The 1st principle "Belief in the existence of the Creator, who is perfect in every manner of existence and is the Primary Cause of all that exists" doesn't explicitly mention omnipotence but rather obviously entails it. (If God is not omnipotent, then God is not "perfect in every manner of existence" since God would not be perfect in power.)

https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/332555/jewish...

Whether or not the ancient Hebrews believed in divine omniscience and omnipotence is something that can be historically debated. But contemporary Orthodox Jews do.

(I'm not Jewish but I hope I've stated the Orthodox Jewish viewpoint accurately.)
That depends on how the memory-pages of the stack-space of the threads is managed. That could still result in memory-fragmentation and disk-paging.

Ah yes, hardware as a service. Fuck that posh dystopia.
My house was nearly burned down by a cheap Bosch tankless water heater that failed to turn off the flame when the flow of water stopped. You would think that would be a pretty obvious failure mode. Needless to say, we went with a different brand when we replaced it.

Hmm, so the statute is probably in metric and this particular site made this error in conversion? Still feels a weird error to make, I’d expect to (a) use metric, (b) use a more correct conversion, or (c) round up to 500.

From the metric perspective, most people go with 1 mile = 1.6km, which is a bit less accurate (about −0.58%, rather than about +0.22%), but definitely easier to work with.
> Just because it is discouraged at conference talks and blog posts, doesn't mean devs aren't doing it on the trenches when dealing with the crossfire of project deadlines and massive codebases.

Oh, I'm sure of that, don't worry.

I'm just fortunate that I've never had to experience that myself.
This is new, though. Back in the 90s and early 2000s the compiler situation for C++ held back the language because the intersection of features from the "standard" available through both MSCV and GCC wasn't ideal. Both were good compilers. But in different ways.

Nowadays it's pretty trivial to get a codebase to compile across MSVC, GCC and Clang. Back then it was often weeks and weeks of work.

"My understanding is entire high schools are getting addicted to vaping, where before smoking was a relatively minor phenomenon. I suspect vaping is causing multiple times as much harm as it is providing relief, especially since they target young people for new customers."

I think I'd want a citation for that. It's been a long time since I was in high school, but smoking was incredibly common (if reasonably well concealed) back then. I can see vaping as being somewhat more popular (if not "entire high schools"), but...
If demand is outstripping supply, raise prices and wages?
There are 600,000 DEAD workers since the pandemic.
You can argue all you want about the age ranges and whether or not those that died were in their prime working years but there is some percentage of this problem that is the simple fact that their workers are no more.
To be clear, regardless of whether they did an internet poll properly or not, doling out physical violence because of it was not justified in any way.
California is losing a house seat, while Texas and Colorado are gaining one (or two for Texas). While the census doesn't account for the difference between growth rate and migration, it seems pretty suggestive to me.

Why? When you can use MacOS itself?

That's a bit like using black-face instead of hiring real black actors.
java.nio.channels was introduced in Java SE 7, not 1.4. It also is far from a drop-in replacement for InputStream/OutputStream.

Even with Loom's green-threads (not the original green-threads) async IO in Java will be too otherworldly until Java's language designers cease their intrasigence about adding first-class support for `await`.
I just don't think smart companies can afford to force the employees back to the office right now.

It does feel like some kind of worker revolt. Literally everyone I know wants to quit or do something else. Not like we are talking independent variables here either. If you are already thinking about quitting and your co-worker quits obviously the chance you quit goes way up since your job probably just got way shittier.

I say this as someone who just went back to the office 2 days ago and I love it. Happiness to me is not sitting at home all day with as little interaction as possible.

I think companies are just going to have to play ball with this in the near term as I don't know how they can afford not to.
I don't know if there is evidence for that.
You’re both right.

Zxzax is correct that GIMP is an alternative to Photoshop, so the tool pallet is appropriate for editing photos. The typical workflow is: (1) stack layers, (2) mask layers, (4) composite. It’s rare to draw a circle on top of a photo. Usually it’s most efficient to select an area of a photo with a rectangle to isolate it on a layer, then use masking to refine the non-rectangular edge. If your goal is to draw a 2D illustration & work with gradient meshes, then Inkscape is an alternative to Illustrator. Both those programs are for illustrating in 2D and there are purpose-built features for drawing & editing shapes.

That said, GIMP does have real UX issues. For example, the controls and GUI elements don’t scale well to high resolution screens and could be much better on tablets like the Surface. They’re also missing CMYK color space support. But, I always assume they’re waiting for Adobe patents to expire to add those features.
The election wins of Trump, Boris Johnson, Brexit and The Liberals in Australia show that data collection really matters. Similarly the financial crisis of 2009 shows that missing data can really matter.

That's the key point of the quote:

> There's something wrong with the way you are measuring it
With all respect, what you said makes zero sense to me.

I don't see how "caring that the law exists" equals to "preserving the culture" (at least not see it in a good way), or how it's not "blindly following it".
Copy-left licenses are generally liked by developers, this flys very directly against that since it suggests circumvention of those type of licenses.

I regularly pull in extra hours and all nighters for my startup. If there's a fire, I drop everything and focus until its fixed. If the product guys can reasonably argue that "doing x feature will close more sale", I will spend an entire weekend doing it. My incentives are completely aligned with the company.

Whats the secret? I have the benefit of working with nontechnical cofounders who's earned my respect. Instead of wasting my time on "going webscale" and lofty ambitions, they spend their time interacting with customers to sell the product and gather feedback. Every features request that comes back to me to create is something thats going to be used.

Of course, thats not enough. Thats just a baseline every startup should adhere to. I also have enough equity that if everything takes off like a rocket, I'll be set for life. I took the equity offer because of previous point.

I don't expect anyone reporting to me to have that level of commitment if they don't have that level of stake in the outcome. By all means, they should do the work they are being paid for but I don't expect them to do more.
The big question here is how Senior Google executive Urs Hölzle managed to get a "remote work visa" from the government of New Zealand. It reminds me of the "special treatment" that Peter Thiel got, where he got New Zealand citizenship after spending only 12 days in New Zealand [1].

It is almost non-existent in the western world to be able to get a remote-work visa (minus Croatia and Czech Republic--both countries are part of the European Union and therefore become "westernized" quickly after accession).

Yes, you can technically get _self-employment_, non-remote work visas in many European Union countries. But, the point and intent of such visas is that you contribute to their economy, assimilate, learn the local language, and eventually become a functioning contributing citizen in their society.

The hypocrisy of the situation around remote work makes me angry, as I am disabled and I require remote work as an accommodation. I have 2 rare immune-mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system, plus type 1 diabetes (autoimmune and insulin-dependent).

I should also point out something else unfair. I am a dual US|EU (Croatian) citizen who works part-time remotely as a contractor for a US-based company in Croatia, while studying for her masters degree in electrical engineering full time. Because I am an EU citizen, I can work in 30+ countries remotely, outside of the United States, while essentially getting paid more (compared to the locals and most other European Union citizens) for just having US citizenship and related credentials. I basically live like a queen in Croatia.

I clarified, I am saying the net migration from California is hardly unusual as a percentage of the population. However, the magnitude of exodus is a function of both the size of the state and the number of people who recently moved to California.

It’s not that an overwhelming percentage of people leaving recently moved in, but they do represent a larger percentage of people moving out which is normal.
I think it's an innate quality of technology.

Yes sophisticated AI tech concentrates power for those who already have power.

And the technology we all (presumably readers of HN) create can enhance the impact of the user. And this can result in unfair circumstances, in reality.

Law and force can prevent disproportionate use of power. Of course one must define the law, which may be done AFTER the offense has been committed. Further, if those who make the laws are corrupted by those with e.g. this AI tech power, then no effective law may be enacted and the hypothetical abuse will continue.
The cities don't provide medallions, they mandate them and limit the supply. The default state without the city's intervention (i.e. no medallions needed to operate a taxi) is equivalent to having a superabundance of medallions. As you say, they do this in order to bring taxis in line with their plans for city-wide public transportation. Which is not to say that they wouldn't discard the medallion system the moment something better came along to fulfill a similar role. The city has no particular interest in maintaining the market value of the medallions; they remain scarce only because the city prefers to limit the number of taxis on the roads, and as a concession to the taxi industry so that they will acquiesce to the city's rules with less of a fight. If demand for taxis drops below the number the city is willing to tolerate, for whatever reason, you shouldn't expect the city to prop up the value of the medallions just because you're counting on it as your retirement plan.
It's also funny to me that they're still linking to original Audacity resources and forums.

Will be interesting to see if they'll actually "maintain" it or just merge upstream once in a while and do releases.

"We already know vaping causes popcorn lung."

We know that vaping fluid with a particular flavoring chemical caused popcorn lung. That chemical is now rare.

"The chemical that gave this condition its nickname is diacetyl. After workers at a factory that packaged microwave popcorn were found to have bronchiolitis obliterans more often than other people, some companies stopped using diacetyl as a flavoring. But it's still used in some electronic cigarette flavors in the US. Many e-cigarette makers state they aren't using this chemical in their products and its use in e-cigarettes is banned in Europe."

I may have acquired some Otis elevator power(?) tubes, but have no idea where to go for part schematics or identification. I'd love to build them into a project, but am not sure where to start.
If speaking isn't allowed, a hack* would be for the elevator to start counting, and tell the passenger to nod or lift their head up after their floor number is mentioned. Or even just walk to the activation corner.
