Based on my limited observations having been in a similar situation for a year, I would guess the average tenure is Equity Award Years less percentage of people who get fired in less than the value of Equity Award Years.

It’s a good way to keep reinventing wheels.
Thats when we would need a human nft
Plus a trivial translation is just that, trivial.

It’s not going to rewrite the huge web of dependencies that any given app consists of, nor will it recreate the various differences between runtime environments for interpreted languages.

It’s essentially a cute party trick.

Stuff like copilot is where I see the utility in the space.

Thank you for showing me this! I am looking to build an internal tool for a tech team and was thinking of what framework to use to make it look something simple but post-1995. It was going to be Bootstrap but I'd never seen Tailwind before.

The author is trying to be funny, but newsflash: Most people want to get shit done.
Stuff happens, people make mistakes, innocuous stuff like that slips through sometimes. I really don't know that I'd take this long-term view of the English language based on a single typo in the Boston Review, but then again I'm also not sure if that comment is missing a "/s".
Well, that's a good point.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” –pithy quote from a summer action movie

I'll just say it now: this is a mistake, quite possibly a huge mistake. The average human is not intelligent enough to deal with computer-generated video that they can mistake for reality, and so this can and will become a tool for despots.
Most mainstream languages are "done" in the way that matters here. Not "done" in the sense of "not receiving new features anymore", but in the sense that you could switch their implementations to maintenance mode today and they'd remain useful for a long time. Easily visible with languages where people do indeed keep using old versions for whatever reason.
That may very well be the intent, but it seems to be backfiring. Go look at this very recent German Marshal Fund survey polling atlanticist countries with section on PRC invasion of TW.

https://www.gmfus.org/news/transatlantic-trends-2022

TLDR: negligible (average 4%) consider sending arms and even less (average 2%) consider sending troops. As if delivering either is possible to an island within overwhelming PRC military advantage. US highest at 8%, which is hilariously low given White House deterrence efforts. 32% considers joint sanctions. 35% only diplomatic efforts to end conflict. 12% do nothing. PRC is looking at these numbers and rubbing hands with glee.

Also consider UKR/RU conflict is already putting EU competitiveness into the shits with trend likely to continue. Pre-war PRC was worried about EU acting as potential spoiler via US coordination, but now EU is so weak that they're even more geopolitically irrelevant. Meanwhile PRC gets dependable energy partner in RU and increased influence in central Asia / MENA / global south who sees the hypocrisy in western response when a western country is attacked. India is even more reticent about militarizing QUAD. JP economy is going to shits, even if they wanted to increase military spending, they likely can not afford to.

Also notice youth are substantially less PRC. In 2030+ time frame, we're like to going to see extremely war wearing societies with polity shifting less anti-PRC at all cost, digging out of economic cesspit who will have even less appetite to sanction a much larger trading partner like PRC. These signalling are having less and less impact coming as EU weakens. As for US, PRC factored in US intervention in TW scenario anyway. It's not deterred but building up massive nuclear arsenal to follow RU's nuclear coercion strategy.

You should grab Hackerman31337 first. That will be worth something.
GeForce Now lets you use your existing games, there is no way for them to make you lose your games.

By comparison, the Stadia model was broken from the start.

> which offers no dividend be valued accordingly.

FWIW Meta has apparently done $15 billion in buybacks this year which gives them a 4% yield at current cap. Investors generally prefer buybacks to dividends because of tax advantages, so this should actually have helped their stock more than a 4% div yield would.
I don't see how providing internet connections to people in Iran constitutes intervention. What they do with those connections is up to them.
> it's incredible that anyone still believes a word of corporate PR.

If you look at the discussions about the shutdown rumor, hardly believed PR. I was on the defensive side and my argument was that spreading this rumor was basically a free point.
> How long until OS vendors introduce abstractions to make this easier?

The OS-level abstraction is called M:N threads. It has always been supported by Java on Solaris. But it's not really popular elsewhere.
Surprising no one,
I never had stadia so I don't know, but was it games only? Or was it a YouTube TV box/Android TV and a game box? You could build a compelling user base to develop the scale and then make it more about the games.

A coworker and I were chatting about it, what happens if/when Apple drops and Mx SoC in the AppleTV? There are the obvious apps, you create a camera add on and add FaceTime to the living room. Things like that but you also have a very serious machine that can go head to head with PS5 and Xbox, legitimately. I wouldn't be shocked if something like that were to happen.
It’s not that the funding changed people, rather those that built the company were either replaced, left, or laid off.

Worth noting, I'm pretty sure by default when you plug a Switch controller into the dock, it just charges and continues to communicate over Bluetooth. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong
I could see this type of technology being used at some point in the future to essentially algorithmically generate content (movies, tv shows, etc) for viewers to watch or engage with. I wonder if it leads to extremely customized content where what I watch is 100% different from any other user on the same platform. However, I also wonder if people enjoy watching the same things because it becomes harder to talk about a movie you’ve seen if there’s no way anyone else could have ever watched it without you sharing it with them.
What? Russia better than Saudi Arabia? The Saudis are neither stupid enough to attack something like Ukraine nor do they have the backbone to even think about it. They're not as caught up in cold wars or bemoaning their version of what Gorbachev did. Human rights aside wouldn't most petrol customers prefer SA over Russia? Granted, Europe and Germany esp. didn't but then again trade was supposed to mute the stupidity of the Russian government and that didn't ultimately work.

A/B tests are statistical tests. So you should pre-register an appropriate confidence interval and stick to that. The width of your confidence interval should be relevant to the risks you are taking.
> looks like Google not giving a zit about users is the problem

I think this has always been the case for Google. It just so happens that sometimes what Google chooses to do happens to align with what's good for users. But when it doesn't align, a bit like a sociopath, Google doesn't appear to be concerned for the impact on users.

Obviously this applies to the whole automated moderation/banning situation that's been a moderate risk for years.
Copyright only hurts the small creators it was intended to protect. Hell, I work in a creative field and in order to get employment that isn't soliciting freelance work on a project-by-project basis, most companies heavily push creative people to sign away all rights to the things they make on or off company time. I've only successfully gotten a company to drop onerous IP language once. The other times I've walked away from what are otherwise dream jobs.
"You're posting too fast" is a limit that's manually applied to accounts that have a history of "posting too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or getting into flame wars". You can email dang (hn@ycombinator.com) if you think it was applied in error, but if it's been applied to you more than once... you probably have a continuing problem with proliferating flame wars or posting otherwise combative comments.
It's not an LP recorder, the disks are only five inch.
NetBSD is a better option on under-powered old PCs. Although it is not Linux, it is actually more like Unixes used by IBM, HP, Sun.
As far as I understand from a quick read of the paper, the 2D diffusion doesn't have a 3D understanding. It probably have some sort of local neighborhood understanding, aka small geometric transformation of objects map close to each other in the diffusion space (That's why like with latent spaces you can "interpolate" (https://replicate.com/andreasjansson/stable-diffusion-animat...) in the diffusion space).

But that's not really surprising because when you have enough data, even simple clustering methods group objects like faces by the direction they are looking to. With enough views even a simple L2 distance in pixel space allow t-SNE to do that.

They are injecting the 3D constraints via the NERF and an optimization process to add the consistency between the frames.

It's a deep dream process that optimize by alternating updates for 3D consistency, and updates for text-to-2Dimage correspondence. It's searching for a solution that satisfy these two constraints at the same time.

Even though they only need to run a single diffusion step to get the update direction, this optimization process is quite long : 1h30 (but they are not using things like instant Nerf (or even simple voxel grids) ).

But this will allow for creation of a dataset of 3D objects with corresponding text, which will then allow to train a diffusion model that will have a 3D understanding and will be able to generate 3D objects directly with a single diffusion process.
You lost me at “plan your travel”. Logistically, public transportation is awful. You can’t bring any cargo with you, you can’t tow anything, you need to buy an expensive ticket for each person (Even a compact car can fit 5 people), trains don’t turn around if you have a family emergency, and the comfort level of the most advanced trains in Europe and Japan frankly sucks compared to even a mid-level SUV in the most basic trim.

Don’t get me wrong, public transportation is an interesting novelty. But for short trips it’s worse than a car, and for long trips it’s inferior to an airplane. There’s a sweet spot where it works if you’re trying to beat commuter traffic but I’d say that’s about it. The people trying to spend billions to build out these networks have an agenda and frankly I’d prefer if we just fixed our roads and airports.
49% ads, 49% content, 2% "news feed isn't available right now" if I scroll too far (a couple dozen screens). Been like this for ages.
<<I struggle to see how that's a bad thing. Most people don't need to be coincidentally picking up bomb-making information.

I might be misreading this, but to me this sentence reads as 'this information does not belong anywhere where normal people roam'. It is possible that "shoulnd't be available" is making me read it this way.
Good to see they know what they're doing.
> Same can be said for Google, right? Google is playing an entirely different game than having paid-for-products but instead funneling products into the money-printing Ads machine.

Look at the diversity of profitable lines that Amazon, Apple and Microsoft have gone into over the last two decades and compare to the number of failed attempts that Google had at trying to diversify.

I’m sure Oracle was counting Ad revenue coming from Android when calculating profits.
Brilliant! Also try "ShadyForeignEmailProvider.com"
Absolutely. FB is a house of cards at this point.
Journey of Migrating Millions of Queries on the Cloud
Germany and the USSR (there was no independent Russia at that time) were not friendly in 1939. The Soviets signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact because they knew Germany planned to invade the USSR at some point, and they wanted to buy time.

It was a scurrilous, unprincipled deal (much like Poland's deal with Germany to divide up Czechoslovakia a year earlier), but the Soviets didn't make it because they were friends with Germany. They had actually preferred to sign an alliance with France, in order to protect Czechoslovakia, but that had failed due to a lack of willingness from France and a refusal by Poland to allow Soviet troops to cross Poland to reach Czechoslovakia (for some reasons that were understandable, given that the USSR and Poland had recently fought a war, and also because Poland itself wanted a piece of Czechoslovakia).
There is no language that isn't effective at conveying meaning, because doing that is fundamental to what language is.

People have been complaining and worrying about this since, literally, the beginning of recorded history. Our language is much "devolved" specifically in the ways many of them were worried about, and yet we are still having this conversation in it. You might not like how it tastes in your mouth but it'll still work fine for the needs we have of it, as all languages always have.
Honestly they just didn't have any content due to their technology choices, I use GFN all the time because it has most of the games I want to play already

they put themselves in a position where they were stuck acting like a psudo-console-platform thing needing to get developers to support thier platform
>Showing a naked boob is considered porn and banned on most of these platform

Probably because a lot of kids use these platforms aka social networks.
some of the most valuable companies on earth are "just CRUD apps", which was the point of the comment above. Knowing what to build is important, which google fails at in most cases. Google has incredible engineers working on stupid projects
NEVER RIDE A BIKE IN A CROSSWALK

or a scooter for that matter.

I've seen cyclists blast across crosswalks in the dark and fortunately my ABS prevented me from hitting them. And there's been a number of near misses with cyclists blasting down a sidewalk into the crosswalk when I'm turning left. Space does not permit me to catalog all the scenarios of [usually] failed cyclist suicides.

Cyclists see more of the environment immediately around than drivers whose eyes are typically 6-7' behind the front bumper. Unfortunately cyclists are mostly unaware that a driver can not see as much of the surroundings as can a cyclist.

Driver perception is adequate in the case of a pedestrian approaching and entering a crosswalk at walking speed of 3 mph. It does not work for a cyclist at 15-25 mph = 30' per second 20-50' away from the curb.

Earlier on I commuted some 15 km each way by bike, but as I got older I was more choosy of my routes and eventually switched to roller blading opposite traffic so I could hop the curb when necessary.

Stupidity in drivers, cyclists and pedestrians will always be with us.

Nobody will do anything to miss you if they don't see you.
Cloud has had over 135-153% YoY revenue growth every quarter since they started reporting Cloud revenue 11 quarters ago. It's amazingly consistent high growth.

TAC (traffic acquisition costs) have exploded over this time frame. If you subtract TAC from Services revenue, the growth is merely good. Cloud revenue also seems a lot less sensitive to the recent economic downtown so far, but we'll really know after Q3.

The operating losses for Cloud are also shrinking quickly. Building data centers should be capex, but I'm guessing they count R&D as opex, which makes the losses higher now even though it will pay off later like an investment. They could probably start to have operating income any time in the next 3 years.
In job interviews, I've been handed code in various languages from assembly to C to Java and asked to figure out what that code does. It can be an interesting challenge, and while I'm certainly not the fastest to figure it out, I usually can.

Give me a bunch of CSS and ask me what it will do... even with the docs in front of me, I am almost certain to get much of it wrong. And I suspect even experienced front end devs (I've never done front end professionally) would struggle with such a challenge.
>cat wearing sunglasses, back view")

Bad prompt, missing implied antecedent/ambiguous subject...

You may want:

Back view of a cat which is wearing sunglasses, back view of a cat, but the view is wearing sunglasses, etc... I actually tried using projective terms from drafting books, and didn't get great results. Nor anatomicals either.
I wonder what the effects of Meta failing would have on society? I can’t think of competing social network for people to migrate to. Would topic forums see a rise in popularity again or would sites like Reddit draw in some of those users.
If you’re a Prime customer and use the same payment method, you’re linked. If you used the app previously, the card you used is linked. I’m pretty sure that being tracked by Amazon, as well as Google et al, is a ship that’s already sailed.
Everyone subject to a background investigation in this sphere has their 4A rights suspended by executive order. They can and will apply all forms of domestic surveillance on such people.
One of my deep background worries is how many criminals aren't caught because they don't make amateur mistakes. You always read these indictments and the perpetrator served themselves up on a silver platter. But what about all of those unsolved crimes that might simply be unsolvable!
For what it's worth, i just did a quick survey of other secure messaging systems to see how they manage group membership. These days Signal uses zkgroups as per https://signal.org/blog/signal-private-group-system; it looks like Wire is somewhere in a transition to MLS for client-managed group membership (although historically membership looks to be entirely controlled by the server). I dread to think what WhatsApp or iMessage do (anyone know if membership is server-controlled or not?)

So yes: we should switch to client-controlled membership management, and we've already started the work to do so. However, the Matrix spec and its implementations has always been transparent that it's up to the user to verify the membership of the room - for after all, if they don't bother verifying users, then all bets will always be off anyway. For instance https://element.io/blog/e2e-encryption-by-default-cross-sign... explicitly says: "You’ve verified this user, but they have risky unverified sessions logged in! A room containing any red users is shown as red." I'm not sure this exactly counts as a research result, let alone a devastating one.

However, totally agreed that we can improve on this, and we're on the case.
This has been going on for years. The applications are just crossing thresholds now that are more salient for people, e.g. doing art.
Speak for yourself, I enjoy using idiomatic phrases because I like conveying nuance and expressing myself using a common phrases. :)

Very much doubt it's real. Maybe the robot is under development, but delivered on Tesla AI Day? Maybe the exterior is ready, and that's what Musk will show. Or maybe he'll walk on stage dressed as Optimus ...
Hmm, the pre-mine lock-in problem is interesting. How do other crypto projects solve that?
They did heavy handed repurchases during the quarter where they saw the first active user dip, before announcing it, then barely did any in the following quarter after the stock took a 40% dive. I'm still bullish Meta, but their capital allocation with regards to buybacks was horrendous to say the least.
Don’t mind me; just checking for any automated scripts that are watching for unregistered domains mentioned on here:

These analyses never take into account the energy other currencies need to keep themselves stable. Usually it is in the form of a standing army, or the diplomatic trades necessary to benefit from an allied country's standing army. The energy needed to maintain a credible modern standing army is incomparably more than Bitcoin is using. And not only that, bitcoin protects itself non-violently while fiat currencies depend on violence.

These other resources it is compared to do not have to protect themselves, or, if you included the resources spent doing so, would far outstrip Bitcoin.
You can get high quality streaming video with much less than 1GBPS, low latency and consistent speed + latency are the important parts.

The "uhhhh, this is a private venue, they don't owe you a soapbox" rhetoric rings increasingly hollow when we just went through a multiyear period when society collectively forced millions of people to work or go to school over the internet, often through big tech platforms.

That feels like a non-sequitur. People can both use mainstream platforms for work/school and create/find their own platforms for other parts of their life.

As a foreigner doing business in the US, one needs to understand there is zero protection under the laws for non-citizens. If you have something someone wants, than you must expect professional thieves will show up before any division head.

One can't take it personally, as the price of admission is high for that show.

I find it amusing that you thought I was alluding to the USA, as the work was based on another historical democratic republic.

It is possible there are secret dicta that supercede legislation, and anyway, laws are only as good as their enforcement, so there are many ways for the government to act as if that law doesn't exist and face zero pushback or repercussions.

Agreed, as long as deltas are consistent I find the devices useful. I feel like fitness tracker step counts fall into the same category--I don't care much about the absolute number is, but rather how that changes over time and correlates with other behaviors.
