I'm not necessarily saying it should have been taken down. I'm only commenting on how it was marketed, what purposes it was presented to serve. I particularly dislike this trend of creating an interesting LM but then presenting in a way that almost suggests you are getting closer to AGI, which is how I perceive some of the claims around Galactica (and GPT-3 before it).
Just installed the trial of Fusion Pro 13 and ran it through the paces of our application test suite and benchmarks, performance is...rough, compared to Parallels.

It's nice to have a personal use option, but I'll be sticking with Parallels for pro use since our company doesn't have a big investment in vmware based infrastucture, where I see using Fusion would be a boon but not for my particular case.
I’ve had a growing interest in the power of DNA and what the data can be used for since discovering no less than 3 family secrets (one of which pertaining to me) after taking an Ancestry DNA test. Did I know I was going to find 18 half siblings the moment my results came in? Nope, but yet there they are, listed in order of most shared DNA.

Despite my interest, I’ve found that landing a job in this field at my desired compensation level is very difficult especially if you not have the ”correct” academic background. Who does a double degree for computer science and forensic genealogy? I’m sure some people but for $75k/yr you’d think the companies need to at least adjust their expectations.

What I Learned from Staff Engineer by Will Larson
It’s nice to be able to attribute noticeable differences to a reason so you can learn. Maybe you don’t notice much difference with coffee (I’m with you there as long as it’s well extracted), but if you’ve been to a nice restaurant and notice the Caesar salad tastes better than at Olive Garden despite having the same ingredients listed on the menu, it’s helpful to understand that the kitchen sources the ingredients daily from a local farm.
> 'It may be obvious to you… but believe it or not, there are people who have never seen these things spelled out in plain language and who never discovered these lessons on their own.'

Indeed, good points well made, what I meant was that I have been such a person and have been guilty of failings that, when I look back, should have been obvious at the time but were not, for whatever reason.
Yes, the exclusivity agreements are the worst. I think they should pretty much be banned everywhere. Remember back in the 90s what microsoft got away with by getting exclusity with EVERY PC manufacturer.

Market makers are always talking about "lowering the spread" being this great thing they're doing to make the world a better place

Yet when I go somewhere with no liquidity and a huge spread like a crypto exchange, a deeply unpopular corner of the stock derivatives market, or a Craigslist used stuff category, the wide spread is just a mild inconvenience at worst. You get to choose between waiting for a better deal and taking a worse deal immediately

A tight spread just means that somebody is getting rich by taking that choice away from me and everyone else on the exchange. It's not the most nefarious thing in the world, but it's not particularly helpful or altruistic either.
Which makes sense, because the UK has the population of California + Texas, and Germany has the population of California + Texas + Illinois.

Of course this is a US-focused site to some extent, but the US just has a big contiguous language community. It's comparable to all of Europe, not individual countries.
> My general advice in this regard: Passive "income" for people under 25 is a pure financial trap. You need to be making active "income" and saving otherwise. All your money you earn right now should ideally be spent on developing and honing whatever edge you have in the area that interests you. And it obviously isn't the financial markets.

I think this is very true, although I'd go one step further and say that saving really isn't that important when you're young. I honestly think the smartest things I did in my twenties were to eat takeaway food for almost every meal and pay a bit extra to live really close to work. People told me I was wasting my money, but all the extra study I got done helped me 5x my salary by the time I reached my thirties.

> I think these efforts point out something valuable, although probably not in the way the creators intended. Lots of people use "markers" of reliability, like citing your sources or making sentences with a certain kind of structure or tone, to estimate trustworthiness. These articles make it clear that it is entirely possible to have those markers, but be entirely incorrect in your assertions about the topic in question.

The bet in modern NLP is that syntax is enough to arrive at semantics.

Not quite accurate.."It is unknown whether Lee is the victim", really concerning though.
Maybe this is a silly question, but if people are building these from scratch as a hobby project, why don't we have GNU Hurd working yet? Is the problem nowadays that the goal has shifted from "make a kernel" to "make a kernel that's bug-for-bug compatibile with Linux including driver support"?
Windows Terminal (despite the drama with its devs) is actually pretty good.

PowerShell is excellent as a scripting language, and has deservedly been a huge influence on shells which have come after it.

WSL is extremely frustrating because it has so many bugs and gotchas, but I'd say it's pretty popular with its intended audience.
I think her target audience is extremely broad. From teenagers to middle-aged people. Plus her latest album was marketed aggressively.
That was a good video recommendation.

I have a question. Let’s say you’re riding in 4th and need to come to a quick stop. Do you press the brake pedal in and downshift to 3rd then 2nd then 1st quickly? Or do you press the brake pedal and the clutch in and eventually shift into first once you’re able to resume normal driving?
She’s been brilliant at adapting her style to match current trends in ways that connect with people. Compare her most recent album to her early country music days. And she’s done a great job of controlling her public perception by limiting access, when no one would say the same about Kanye.
I left academia for that reason; there was no advancement path that didn’t involve more advanced degrees, and that wasn’t something I was interested in at the time.
My claim is not that the model itself is true - I'm claiming that the underlying mechanisms that rule the world are true and are not subject to change by social consensus.

The model is "good enough" for the purpose of creating a building, but that doesn't make the act of "creating a building" any less real, nor the underlying rules that govern matter any less true. Our descriptions are not real - the rules themselves (which we may not know exactly) are real.

Therefore, mathematics - the set of rules that corresponds to how reality works - itself exists in reality regardless of social consensus. Society can't change them by making a different consensus.
I think it used to be the opposite until we ate too many of them. Supply/Demand.
"be nice to people, be genuinely interested in them (even if their interests aren't your core ones, they still are often curious), and genuinely try to get to know people."

It's a truly sad comment on our society that so many people have to be taught to do this and effectively be bribed to do it (the bribe being in the form of getting friends and success) instead of it coming naturally.

I also question how "genuine" such interest is, when it's done by people looking for a success/friendship payoff. It seems more manipulative than anything to me.
And every year in chicago dibs starts a few days earlier and ends a few days later.

Also for anyone who suggests to just move someone’s trash and take their spot. That is a sure fire way to get your car keyed or someone to take all of the snow and shovel it right on top of your car.

To your original point though, I disagree with have sanitation take the scooters as that puts the responsibility on the tax payers. In NYC they have an app where you can record an idling car/truck and if they do it for more than 3 minutes you get like 25% of the fine. IMO just doing something like that would make the scooter companies clean up their act pretty quick.
I've never heard of QBE before. It seems like a competitor to LLVM, is that accurate?
The news agencies are so prone to bandwagon on topics

Big Tech isn’t going anywhere. It will continue to grow. What will replace it? New Big Tech? There could be a small slump for a few years, but it’s a recession, right after everyone increased spending due to Covid. People all over are feeling the effects. It would only be newsworthy if tech was immune somehow
How do you explain Germany having stringent drivers licensing requirements, and Germans being skilled and generally lawful drives? Just a coincidence? Do you think Germans would be just as good at driving if they dropped all the licensing and education requirements? Seems farcical.

Since advanced education and licensing requirement work for German car drivers, it should work for e-scooter and e-bike riders too. And for that matter, it should also work for American/etc car drivers too. If drivers' ed and the licensing tests for car driving in America weren't such a farce, our roads would be much safer.
No, it does mean that. There are actual humans who's rights need to be protected, and there exists no AGI. In a world where AGI exists we'll probably want to create some legislation around that. But it'd be a mistake not to acknowledge that isn't the world we're living in and to make laws based on science fiction.

Realized problems take precedence over hypotheticals.

As far as I understand (and reading their Limitations page also), the system is quite likely to simply invent facts, particularly in niche fields - which may well mislead you and lead on a wild goose chase.
I keep thinking of this space but don't know where to start. Any pointers for good resources? - books that are accessible to software engineers with no background in genomics, open source projects which are widely used, etc.... in short a good place to start in exploratory/hobby/learning mode.

Short of hiring/partnering with someone, learning yourself is the closest best bet.

I think the real answer is more pedestrian. High income people largely spend in the same places, they just spend more.

They still buy clothes, but maybe at Nordstrom instead of TJMax. They still take vacations, but maybe they upgrade to economy+ and get the hotel room With a view. They buy groceries, but maybe shop organic and get real cheese instead of Kraft.

Science programming jobs suck. You get all the bad parts of academia, including less money, plus you're seen as a janitor rather than an engineer, and you get to deal with scientists all day.

Tooling roles in SWE in every other field are highly regarded. Why not here?
Here in Berlin, these things are everywhere as well. More or less the same companies as in Paris.

I think Germans are more upset about how messy these things are than about the safety aspect. People just leave them wherever and occasionally some bored people do silly things with them like creating a huge pile of them or tossing them in canals, etc. They are not very stable and that means that even if they are parked properly, they can still fall over. Or people just kick them over. But mostly, stuff like this is a minor nuisance. Berlin is covered in graffiti; there's lots of vandalism, etc.. This just adds to that. I don't mind the chaos generally.

You also see people using them creatively. I regularly see people transporting furniture or even Christmas trees (last year) on these things for example. Or multiple people sharing a scooter. I find this hilarious. And there is a fair bit of abuse involving drunk people, kids doing stunts with them, etc.

But mostly, you just see people using them as intended. Berlin is a big place. You can walk for hours without leaving the inner city. Rush hour traffic is very congested and these things are perfect for getting around.

I kind of dislike using scooters myself; mostly because I don't like the lack of stability and danger level. But e-bikes are great and almost as easy to find. Most deadly accidents here in Berlin involve cars though. Stupidly and pointlessly large SUVs and trucks driven irresponsibly are usually involved. Right hand turns involving trucks crushing cyclists are very common here.
I think your phrase here sums up how many people feel:

> why would I choose to work at an organization that respects my craft so little they haven't bothered to maintain their software for a decade

This is changing in my experience, albeit slowly. And really, this is what I'm calling on us, as a community, to do better on.

The reason you _would_ work at these organizations is because (1) the subject-matter is really interesting, (2) there are hard problems to be solved, and (3) you wake up every morning knowing that you are working on something that will have an impact on the lives of people around the world.

At least those are my reasons :)
The point is that the two ends of the spectrum look more similar than their own adjacent colors..
meh. Purchase prices are dropping fast, you can already buy scooters for the price of a cellphone.
Sometimes it is a fear response to the anticipated consequences of giving a clear answer.

In your example, I imagine that the engineer is trying to be seen as still worthy of employment despite not shipping a feature. That motivates them to show themselves as:

- Able to overcome some challenges.

- Able to learn from mistakes.

This is a self-reenforcing cycle. An engineer who struggles to make decisions will struggle to deliver at pace. An engineer who struggles to delver at pace will have more experiences of getting fired. An engineer with more experiences of getting fired will be more fearful and thus struggle more to gather their thoughts and communicate clearly.

The only solution I know of is more secure professional relationships such as with a coach such as you’ve been acting as.

That QEMU doc says:

> The recommended way to trigger a guest-initiated shut down is by generating a triple-fault, which will cause the VM to initiate a reboot

Doesn’t that mean it can’t distinguish an intentional triple fault to trigger reboot from an accidental triple fault caused by a guest kernel bug which corrupts the IDT? I think it would be better if there was some kind of call the guest could make to the hypervisor to reboot-one is less likely to invoke that service by accident than to triple fault by accident.
> I have felt that it really is the best way to create a fair market clearing price for all participants

Fans don't want a market clearing price. Artists will also say they don't want a market clearing price, and some (most?) of them are being honest when saying that. They want a price that allows a large number of their long-term fans to be able to attend their concerts, and that price will be well below a market clearing price.

For a massive artist like Swift, with huge demand and limited supply for tour dates, a market clearing price would mean only people with high levels of disposable income would be able to go to the shows. Many of those people would only be casual Swift fans. So the die-hard fan who has listened to every album a hundred times but has a low paying job can't go, but people who have never listened to an album but earn a lot of money can.

In other industries, that kind of market dynamic isn't a problem. People will accept that only very rich people can afford supercars, even if they aren't necessarily car enthusiasts, whereas lots of die-hard car enthusiasts can't will never be able to afford a supercar.

But music is its own thing, for reasons I don't entirely understand. Perhaps it's because, more than other industries, successful artists owe so much of their success to a loyal following of fans, and they want to preserve that relationship over short-term profit maximization. Or perhaps it's because many people just feel that music is an inherent part of the human experience, and shouldn't be subject to the same raw market forces that prevail in other industries. I'm not someone who goes to see a lot of live music, this is just behavior I've observed in others.

Artists and fans want some kind of system that allows long-term fans to attend shows at "fair" prices. In this context, "fair" is not determined by the market, but by some kind of intuitive and emotional sense of how much a concert ticket "should" cost. I can't say what the price is, but I can say that if the market-clearing price for Swift's latest tour turned out to be $600, the fans wouldn't say "OK, fair enough, I can't afford it but I will accept the outcome as utility maximizing for the greatest number of market participants." They would say something closer to "this is total bullshit"
You mean something like scraping links in pages that you already visited? It's great idea. Visiting wikipedia pages could make list quite a long!
Ticketmaster is in the industry of taking the blame for high prices. Concert ticket demand vastly outstrips concert ticket supply at the prices that artists are happy with.

The only real solution is to raise prices. But artists can't do that without fans being angry. So instead Ticketmaster does it for them and pays the venue a k̶i̶c̶k̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ "rebate". If the artist is popular enough, the venue pays money to the artist. Everybody is happy and Ticketmaster reaps the rewards of being the entity everybody is mad at.
Paris goes the same way Prague did in 2016, but with Segways. The problem is not in vehicle, but in the fact, that users were ignoring rules (you are supposed to drive on a road with cars or bicycle path) and were driving on pedestrian walk, causing collisions and injuries.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/20/two-wheels-bad...
These things are a blight. Riders aren’t responsible when riding or parking them, and the companies aren’t efficient about clean up. The owners effectively forced Paris to make room by virtue of dumping them around the city. (How was that even legal?) Eventually there were hideous piles of them blocking parking and traffic, so the city made designated parking for them. It’s marginally better. Good riddance.
haha this is sweet, did you monetize it? Did you make your money back from buying all those phones or just consider a tax for making a cool app?
I'm saying that I wouldn't like it, but it is a reasonable request to expect a worker to be able to perform it.

I think that it's imperfect but probably an moderately effective way to compare employees for immediate dismissal. I would not like facing immediate dismissal.

I think the difference is that I don't think it is nearly as arbitrary as you do.

I'm curious how Lime is calculating their safety numbers. I have family in medicine, and they absolutely refuse to ride scooters due to the injuries and fatalities they see in the ER. They basically see it as the equivalent of riding a motorcycle without a helmet. And since the vast majority of scooter riders are young adults, they see devastating injuries that will ruin people's lives for decades, if they live that long.

Obviously all forms of transportation have risk, but the current environment where hardly any scooter riders wear helmets, and where they are used in tight urban areas competing with cars, cyclists and pedestrians, often with little clarity of where scooters should drive or right-of-way rules, is a recipe for high devastating accident rates.
I know there are at least a few, because positions on my team offer remote and don't require and previous genomics experience.
Something I've been thinking about WRT SBF and online ethics, is if someone's true devotion is to preserving shareholder value, etc, if you know "interesting things" have happened and been covered up for a long time, lying on twitter to people who mostly are uninvolved and don't care, might be seen as a legal obligation, not a character flaw.

He had an "out" which was the companies business model was to purchase regulations from politicians intended to put all his competitors out of business, that process seemed to be going VERY well, and if he could have held out another half year, maybe two years... he likely would have been very successful. So he is legally obligated as an officer of his company to lie on twitter to keep the charade running long enough to pay off for the investors.

Certainly his investors would have made more money if he hadn't gotten caught than how it turned out, and being a criminal organization he can't be honest about that on Twitter.
