You have to be really really a fan of collective action to do that. I don’t oppose unionization, but whether some random Amazon warehouse in Podunk, Idaho unionizes is simply not important enough to me to cancel my Prime subscription.

I could really use a better workflow to refine grep matches. Has anyone made a tool that combines grep (regex search) with fzf (multiple positive/negative patterns)? What I really want is something like:

grep pattern1 **/* | grep pattern2 | grep -v exclude_these | grep -v also_exclude

The problem is this loses filenames and context lines in the output. I want to apply several positive and negative regexes, and only at the very end annotate with filenames and context. Anyone have a good workflow for this?
Yeah, I just like the terminal aesthetic. And I've had a problem in the past with sales bros taking internal only presentations that aren't supposed to be consumed externally for a lot of reasons and showing them to customers. Markdown seems to be enough of a barrier to keep that from happening.
> "David R. Musser, and Alexander A. Stepanov: Tecton: A Language for Manipulating Generic Objects. In Program Specification, Proceedings of a Workshop, Aarhus, Denmark, August 1981"

The concept of "generic object" introduced in this paper is quite different from today's:

In the proposed framework, a series of refinements constitute a set of design decisions leading to a program. It should be possible to backtrack to any stage of decision making and explore an alternate path of refinements. Different design decisions can thus be compared and evaluated.

A notion that seems to be particularly useful for achieving this kind of organization is that of "generic objects." A generic object is a notion for grouping objects sharing common syntactic structure and semantic properties. Informally, a generic object describes a whole class of non-isomorphic possibilities, unless a stage has been reached at which the described objects are fully defined. Adding properties to a generic object makes it more specific by narrowing the range of possibilities. Once we allow such genericity of objects, the way is open also to the development and use of "generic algorithms," which offer a way of organizing and extending our knowledge of algorithms and control.

We have begun developing a language called 'Tecton" (Greek for "builder") for constructing generic objects and algorithms.[1]

What is called a "generic object" here is what today would rather be called a "base class" of a type hierarchy.

This seems kinda analogous to Amazon Basics pulling the rug out from under successful third parties on their platform.

Spotify has provided a platform for artists to release music on, and implicitly promised that they will curate that music in playlists etc to promote the artists. But then they pull the rug out from under them and just push in house stuff instead, denying royalties to the artists that probably only joined the platform because Spotify /weren't/ doing stuff like this.

People saying OP is just upset that "non famous artists" are being recommended or that these artists aren't really "fake" are missing the point - these are artists created /by Spotify/ being promoted /instead of/ artists that Spotify would actually have to pay royalties to. There's clearly some perverse incentives here.
this will impact their economy?...
None of the above. This is because every atom in your body is accelerating at the same rate, so there's no pressure involved.

DALL-E has been trained in the styles of creative humans. It can mashup the content that it has been fed but I haven't seen it create a new style of artwork like impressionism or pop art that it hadn't already seen as examples. It also has no understanding of what is generated. We are impressed as human observers because it appears to understand the task we presented.
Yeah plus these haven’t been trained on multiple epochs and DeepMind just released Chinchilla which implies we don’t need to scale up as much as we have been wrt parameters. Also last month Microsoft published a paper demonstrating deep transformers. We may get to expert level performance on these without any major breakthroughs imo.
The US openly supported a coup in Ukraine (note the language, I did not say we executed the coup) which replaced the democratically elected pro-Russian government with a pro-Western one.

The paper explicitly calls out providing lethal aid to Ukraine as one of the highest risk actions and most directly tied to Russia feeling pressure to go further into Ukraine. It's a chicken and egg situation. Yes, the lethal aid was helpful, but would the lethal aid have been necessary if we weren't interfering so much there?

Let's not forget Operation Timber Sycamore where we did execute a coup attempt in Syria, one of Russia's biggest allies. And our dealings with Iran, another Russian ally.

We signed the Charter on Strategic Partnership signaling our intent to let Ukraine into NATO, which would obviously be a red line for Russia. The weird thing about this one is that after the invasion Zelensky revealed that publicly the US was saying Ukraine would be joining NATO but privately the US was telling Zelensky it would never happen. So it was a psyop specifically to provoke Russia.

We also pulled out of the Open Skies Treaty.

One clarification here. None of this is to say that Russia is justified in doing anything. Putin is an evil dictator. End of story. Also, the US repeatedly escalated tensions with Russia knowing that the Ukraine invasion was a likely response Russia would take.
It's because the model doesn't actually see text during training or prompting, it gets a compressed form called BPE instead, and the compression is fixed rather than learned.

so the connections between the earlier uses of heeled and the later seem pretty tenuous to where I would say there is a definite inductive gap, although I guess it also makes unlikely my original assumption that someone was well-heeled because good footwear is expensive - related to some old article in GQ where it was asserted that the old rich might dress like a beach bum and drive a nondescript car but will always have the most expensive and highest quality footwear.
Well, you found something.

We are referring to opening Face ID with a mask on released like a month ago which is beyond the last time I cared to wear a mask anywhere in the US - as no municipality requires it, except rideshares, busses and planes and just for now - as well as the blood oxygen reading requiring a completely new Apple Watch model, but that model was released september 2020 if you like that. The last time I cared was when I was willing to be afraid of the virus before September 2020.
Big fan of BBEdit, didn’t realize it’s just barely younger than me. I started using it probably about 20 years ago.

These days I use it mostly for one-offs and as a scratch pad. It’s doing a very good job at that.
Honestly I can’t say that one’s corporate ethics and practices are superior to the other. It was just a matter of trying to limit my footprint. Google’s got me locked into gSuite for now because I’m haven’t been up to the level of effort to move my domains, docs, etc. I’m on a journey towards free software and devices, but Apple and Google still have broad access to me, my wallet, and my behaviors. I’m fully divested from Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft (except for a mostly idle Xbox). I use almost entirely free software on my desktop. My ISP and cell provider are mega corps. Libre Office, NextCloud, and other tools have come a long way. I had an adventure with a Pinephone, but it didn’t meet my needs at the time. Email hosting has remained an elusive issue for finding an alternative to gsuite. I’ve paid them for years and not had issues.

All of this is to say I’m trying various ways to limit my participation with dubious companies but I’ve had to pick my battles for myself and my family as we all do. Not using Prime has been a relatively convenient and painless change that I was able to do.

I invested heavily for years in getting various AWS certs. Leaving it behind for my personal cloud computing wasn’t easy to do, but my side projects and day job have recently lined up around GCP so I’ve been putting energy there.

I’m not convinced my choices are going to make much of a difference, but I would make them again at this point.
You seem to be mixing different things.

They do have an anti spam policy.

I was talking specifically about spam. Non-spam is another matter.

And who decides what is and is not spam, you might ask? Well Twitter of course; they just aren’t very good at detecting even blatant examples of it proactively enough to prevent it from detracting from the user experience.
Honest question — does Google realize they have slowly become worse than competing search engines, or do they just not care? Are they too large as an org to innovate at this point?
Pay people without exploiting them. You can pay people decent wages and avoid putting them in unnecessary danger while still making a significant profit. If that truly cant be done, then that industry needs to be nationalized to cover the deficit.

Back in the day when I bought my Element, upon delivery the dealer told me to never wash it out with a hose. I asked why they gave that advice, and the dealer said there was an ad (I think print?) by Honda that showed a dude hosing out an Element and they had all these cases of people bricking their cars as a result.

I loved that car, it got totaled when a van badly rear ended it, and I ended up getting $22k back on a 4 year old car that cost $23k new.
Why reinvent the wheel and force yourself to go through a new browser when you have Vivaldi? Extension support is being planned (not sure when it will release). Windows is "coming soon". Linux- I don't think they will support it.

Vivaldi fits the use cases completely - you can keep it as simple or complex as you want. I don't want a browser which is "fast". I want one which works and supports specific general and niche use cases rolled into one.

>A survey paper that just copies directly from the prior paper hasn't contributed anything new to the field that couldn't be obtained from a list of references.

IMO the whole point of a survey paper is to avoid having to read through a whole list of references. There is a benefit in extracting information from those papers and assembling them together into one thing. It's expected that the paper is going to be a compilation of information from the papers that it is surveying.
> Torvalds, James Gosling, Wozniack, Sergei Brin - those are nerd-nerds.

Remember that college educations, especially highly skilled STEM ones, were very rare for their parents' generation (born in the 30s - 50s)

Torvalds - Father was a politician, grandfather a famous statistician

Wozniak - Father was an engineer for Lockheed

Brin - Father a math professor, mother a NASA researcher

Gosling was the only one in this bunch who really just came out of nowhere. I agree with what you're saying about Nerd Nerds and All Birds Nerds but the founders of Silicon Valley were always well-heeled. I think the culture changed for rank-and-file engineers mostly because of the money in the field. While founders would certainly make it big (Moore, Gates, etc) the average engineer was payed well but not fantastically.

One could feasibly work in other white-collar fields (law, accounting, airline pilot, etc) to make similar money and those who were interested in the largest pay packages and large amounts of prestige went into fields like finance or medicine. Folks who went into tech typically chose tech because they liked the problems that you could solve in tech or liked the people who chose to go into tech (often somewhat neurodiverse). Nowadays tech salaries are insane and most people who enter tech are doing it for money and prestige foremost. These folks are going to be the All Birds Nerds; smart folks who are more interested in making money and rising the ranks rather than playing around with tech.

It seems like it's the exact same amount of meaningful or meaningless regardless of DALL•E? None of that activity you described is meaningful as-is except for the meaning that she, you, or we project onto it for her having done it. That doesn't necessarily go away. The actions and activities themselves are meaningless. What sets them apart from results produced via DALL•E is precisely that your girlfriend was the agent involved. That can still be true and that quality can still be what makes them meaningful.

For example, robotic welding is incredible, truly a spectacular thing to observe, and the results are often immaculate for certain applications. However, I still pay a premium for handmade bicycle frames because I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into them compared to mass produced alternatives.

It's mostly because the most economical way to get it is with an enterprise M365 sub, which many companies with under 1,000 users don't have. Even at that level, the unforseen need for additional premium licensing can dampen enthusiasm ("but it worked with my trial subscription!"). Besides, "low code" or "no code" is still programming, and requies that non-IT people to deal with unfamiliar concepts like software support, security and lifecycle management (or to ignore them at their own peril). Logic Apps are a whole other thing. More pro developers should give them a closer look if they aren't already using them.

Depends on the forum? Some of them are quite elaborate [0], with multiple levels and community-elected councils which can override moderators. But the real power is in the user mobility -- forums have lots of competition, and if someone does not like the moderators, they just go to the next one.

But that's not the point. Someone who knows that Internet is bigger than Facebook will recognize that most arguments in your opening paragraph are false. Heck, even reddit invalidates half of those and it is pretty well known! And the rest of the post is written under the same assumption, which is simply not true.

So the answer to your question, about why do people completely ignore Web3 "innovations", is because they are only innovations if your entire world is Facebook. Compare it to something else, and those are just incremental improvements -- "maybe nice, but not sure if they are worth the overhead".

To be fair, if you are reading this or wrote this, you are far from a "typical" male in this study. The typical includes a lot of low income and/or blue collar workers who cannot or will not take good care of their health and are engaged in high risk activities at work and after work. In all likelihood, the typical HackerNews user alarmed by a subject like "Actuarial Life Table" will have much better odds at living a long life... if only because you are paid tech wages.
Most early console games had a heritage from arcades, which made more money if it was difficult but teased the chance of progress. So higher difficulty was more profitable, then when ported to console or when the same game designer designed for console it inhereted some of that. It was also more niche to be a gamer then, and those who did leaned more hardcore.
I fidget with the trackpad the entire time. On chrome this does nothing except scroll and highlight. When i try it on edge the whole page moves for no reason (use it and see what i mean) which is the main reason i prefer Chrome.
Agreed. If I could retroactively alter Rust's design, I'd remove non-marker traits with methods, and instead have functions and data structures take method or vtable pointers. In case of static dispatch, the method pointers would be passed as compile-time const generic parameters. This allows picking different ordering operators for different trees or sorts defined on the same type, instead of requiring wrapper types defining custom comparison operators, or having individual types or functions add comparator parameters in an ad-hoc fashion (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.so...).

It just means sacrifice for me.
It’s weird to see reminiscing for the Bush-era GOP from people who presumably aren’t Republicans. Don’t we want the state to listen to its voters and not corporations?

Googler opinions are my own. I've never worked on Drive.

It's not hard, but expensive.

If you have a file system where it is a proper tree in any given node within that tree only has One parent, and walking up all the parents you always only have one parent up to the root node, you gain some useful properties from that. You can build a permission model where you just have to check the permissions of all of your parents to see if someone has access to a given file deep within the system. This means that if you Grant Reed access on any node within that line of parents, all children implicitly get access.

Now imagine a directed graph, and you set permission on a node and you want to say all connected nodes also should get this permission. You could definitely walk all the nodes and apply that permission, but now you have to write said permission to every node, rather than being able to set it on a parent and let all children inherit it. Even if you know all of your parents, then all of those nodes have multiple parents. And you can have cycles. Checking parents for permissions becomes way more complicated for users to understand, which is why Drive likely didn't do this.

It was all meaningless before. We attached meaning to it all as we grew as a species, but we are not functionally different from our ancestors 10,000 years ago who were just finding their way, who could see the universe, imagine it, creating whole civilizations and fighting wars and battles over the very imaginings in their head.

What's fascinating about DALL-E is that there now exist no barriers to that primitive, but remarkable, imagination. Many people could have envisioned Michelangelo's works. You can probably do that now, if you close your eyes real tight. But Michelangelo could not have created his great works without the funding of the House of Medici.
