> I don't want to work for one company for 10 years.

I've been freelancing for 10 years. A few months ago, after a post-burnout sabbatical, I decided to look for a full time job as a regular employee.

During an interview I got asked the classic question "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" Not used to it, I fumbled, and my mind decided to answer honestly: to run a business of mine, and having technical oversight over entire projects.

That's not what the interviewer expected; they wanted me to hear how would I serve that company for the next 5 years. It was obvious I completely flunked my interview, and it was also obvious that going back to being an employee was a terrible idea. I do not want to give 40+ hours of my time to some other people working on stuff I do not care about. Sure, it can be satisfying, but chances are, I would not be very passionate about their product, and if I was, I would want to build my vision of it, not theirs.

At least a freelancer I can fire clients, raise my rates, work every other day, or on a beach. Better than full time employment, but you're still working on someone else's idea.

The end goal now is start a one-man business so I can dedicate my life on projects I care about, with freelancing to tide me over until I am ramen profitable.
Do you have any citations to back up your claim that "What we absolutely do know is that if you want to destroy group, give it welfare"?

That is not common knowledge where I am from and would like to see what scientific studies have determined.

At least for me personally, I doubt that would be true. Having a guaranteed basic support and healthcare for me family as a safety net would allow me to take more risks such as starting a company or joining a startup.

I know I have to spread out my vacation. If I take more than a few days at a time, I get bored and start tinkering on a hobby project.
doesn't really matter, all they have to do is run the code.
I bought the soundtrack for all my family members. I’m sure they’ll love it.
Social security is generally restricted to a certain age or older.

It also scales to how much you “put in”.

Therefore wouldn’t have the same inflationary impact that a truly universal income would have.
Most CL implementations don’t “track” the instances so much as have them point at a proxy for the real class object. When redefining a class, the old proxy object is marked as stale and then updated to point at the new class. This allows the runtime to lazily update instances to the new class (using the method you linked to) as they are encountered. As a result, you can have instances from several different class generations kicking around in memory.
The language is fine because that's what the word "free" means. Do you complain that a cloud provider's free tier isn't really free because it's paid for by other customers?

It seems it's only with healthcare people forget the meaning of the word.
The trend the article discusses is using colors that are tones, meaning a hue mixed with gray. So it's not just that a lot of things are gray, it's that even the things that are colored have a gray-ish cast.
ABSTRACT

This paper presents evidence that the Proto-Sinaitic script, the Phoenician twenty-two-letter alphabet (and, by extension, the Chinese twenty-two ganzhi and the Chinese twenty-eight-mansion lunar zodiac) are patterned on the solar zodiac and Mesopotamian/Egyptian celestial diagrams, and that these are based on the cultivation cycle of wheat. The evidence shows that the animal figures such as the ram, bull, and lion that are seen in the Mesopotamian cylinder seals, the zodiac, and the Egyptian celestial diagrams symbolize the various stages of the growth of Emmer wheat. A prominent part of the process, selecting seeds for future resowing, corresponds to Word selection (a concept rooted in the Egyptian conflict stories of Horus and Seth). It is also shown that the cycle of wheat was established in the Neolithic and Upper Paleolithic in the idea of the Solar Lion-Lunar Bull Conflict, itself ultimately based on the sun/moon cycle and the mythology of the Great Goddess.

I asked it to simulate a Chess engine and it gave the usual "I am a blah blah blah, I cannot blah blah blah, because blah blah." I clicked "Try Again" and it worked.
God damn I'm so tired of the global market.
I think that the computers on the other side of the APIs won't understand ChatGPT's intentions too. Maybe ChatGPT would save us some time translating from our requirements to the right API calls. If it works like any of us, there will be meetings to explain requirements to ChatGPT, or a bunch of them, and more meetings to understand what they got wrong, why, how to workaround and how not to make it happen again.
Holy shit, I thought this only happened to me. Hey fellow weirdo! Glad to know i'm not alone
Surgeons don't generally bill by the hour. The charges allowed by payers are based mostly on procedure complexity rather than the number of hours that a particular case ends up taking.
Bumpers used to actually be bumpers or, as someone once quipped, braille devices to help you park. Now they're fairly fragile containers for all manner of sensors.
The different CEXs would have to coordinate such price swinging. When the price swings in a direction on one exchange, arbitrage bots will put a pressure on the price to converge back with the other exchanges.

It'll get really expensive, and you'll be paying a lot to the arbitragers
I'll go ahead and ask the obvious question.. What's the difference with Copilot?

In my exactly 3 minutes test, it did worse, even if only slightly.

Right now it is free, but that won't last, right? Do i have to expect any shady data collection practices?

More interestingly, how is this trained? Have you guys done your own finetuning of gpt3 or it's something completely different?
I kind of understand about stable diffusion, but ChatGPT seems like just a progression, something you can already do with promoting if I'm not mistaken...

There's companies that offer orders of magnitude of cost savings over OpenAI for text generation too e.g. https://text-generator.io in excited about that going the way of stable diffusion e.g. there's bloom and bloomz for instruct, there should probably be the same excitement when bloom comes out with E.g. ChatBloom, but idk why open source and other co's don't get the press that OpenAi does
Agreed that the word predates America! Your link says "conservatism came into existence with or after Burke’s critique of the French Revolution" and notice my peer comment in this thread where I called out Burke's Wikipedia article.

But that Apple definition is still balderdash.
This seems accurate, I was super impressed with it, but I can't picture it doing something like: "Make uploading images more intuitive for users" anytime soon. It is super useful for generating boilerplate for any kind of pure function you might need.
Indeed this is the feature I am waiting for.
Stateless. The whole conversation is replayed in the input.
honestly thats a weird take. IMO its one of the greatest transformations in the last 20 years.
I have anecdotally noticed this too.

My university went 6 years without a suicide, and then had 3 highly publicized suicides over the year. They then put in a lot of effort to bury it as much as possible, students went home for the summer, and the university had a few suicide-free years right after
What do you mean by "it crashed". No output?
Well, everybody was a web designer 20 years ago. Nowadays we've got people who are actually good at graphical and frontend design and have actually studied their discipline. My scepticism dropped a few notches the first time I got to work with some people who really knew what they are doing and saw the value they bring and how they can save a lot of time and excruciatingly bad experimentation.
We changed the URL from https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/12/apple-announces-bigge... to a third party article I just googled. If there's a better third-party article, we can change it again.

Yes, HN has the rule "*Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter" (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), but corporate press releases are so awful to read that I increasingly think we need to make them an exception.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

All the more so because they have a strong incentive to bury the lede (I mean in general—not saying that about this announcement), and while third-party sites have other crap incentives, like sensationalism and clickbait, they at least don't do that.
Lost to follow up is not necessarily discontinuation of treatment is the issue. The person may have moved out of state or out of country, or simply have moved to be treated by a different physician. Consider also the perspective of the detransitioning person: in trying to reconcile their experience, they project that there must be more people out there like themselves and point to a known unknown to justify it.
You have multiple crypto payment options at check out.
Because many (most?) cars have things like steering assist to keep you in your lane and not killing a bus full of children. Car design has been focused on safety and not joy riders looking to lose control and crash into something for some time now.
I never buy anything in dollars on eBay. Sterling, sometimes, but it’s euros 99% of the time.

Prices on eBay actually look like something a human would choose. On AliExpress on the other hand the prices are all over the place, with really odd numbers of cents, which I assume comes from automatic conversion from whatever currency they initially priced it in (not necessarily dollars at that point).
Having a broad and deep understanding of a range of design patterns in an otherwise banal enterprise environment is critical when the existing technologies you work with are numerous, decades old and have built up like layers of sedimentary rock.

>in my experience

Friend, you're making it clear that you don't have much.
The answer to the why part of this question, I think, is that this is what computers are capable of rendering. These are exactly the paintjobs that the GTA cars have.
Arguably, Inception was even closer to Neuromancer. They were both about a washed up hacker who is recruited to do one last job who first has to assemble a crew to do it. And they both end up dealing with a simulation of their former lover at the end! And in a ruined city! Yes, it was dream hacking in Inception but that was the only major difference.
I feel like it’s state can be corrupted and it ends up in some weird rut. Often by telling it to try again I can unwedge it but sometimes I have to reset the entire state and start the convo over again. Each time is slightly different. These seem like bugs that optimization heuristics can overcome (like maybe replaying the same convo repeatedly and choosing the highest information next prompt to present? Who knows. It’s basically magic and I’m waving coconuts hoping the planes will land)
It’s not illegal to have two jobs.
And the fact is that there are all manner of lists out there of various levels of quality. I get emails every day even though I'm not a regular journalist.
Just to add a data point about the pronunciation; the way you've written it leads me to read it as "har-penny", which I imagine is valid, however we pronounced it in my family as "hay-penny".
If you’re relying entirely on user submitted data, how are you planning to combat spam, griefers, disgruntled types, and competitors trying to smear each other?
Since when does the US have regulations about content moderation?

> significantly increased to comply with existing decrees and regulations.

What decrees and regulations? If the US wanted stuff to be illegal, make it illegal. You seem to be implying that Twitter should be a substitute government.
That makes no comment about whether the symptoms are on purpose, or unconscious. Ask any ADHD or OCD person about "symptoms that arise around unpleasant tasks"
This ultimately polynomial direct-connection approach is clearly fatally unscalable.

The fediverse needs to figure out a hubs-and-spokes or supernodes pattern so that service providers can scale up syncing, indexing etc.

ie, my personal instance should be able to offload most of the message passing to an supernode intermediary that lots of other instances use for federation so that my instance only needs one connection, and the supernodes only need to connect to each other and their local network.
My point is that you can relax constraints such as Gödel's incompleteness theorems if you are going to give it credit when it gets wrong answers.

It might be able to write a TV Show like Sliders but it won't be able to do real physics, for instance.
I was skeptic about AI's writing code but after playing with ChatGPT for a bit I have to adjust my views.

I think tools like this can be great for generating skeletons and draft implementations for simple CRUD-like things. For example I asked it "write an Android layout XML for a login screen with username, password and a login spinner using components from the material library" and it did exactly that. I followed up with "write the corresponding activity in Kotlin" and it did. It generated a correct implementation, including a few paragraphs explaining how it worked and that it mocked the login method with an artificial delay for demo purposes.

Another thread that convinced me was when I gave it a Kotlin interface for a CRUD Taskrepository and asked it to write the implementation. It wrote a correct implementation backed by a Map. With some followup prompts it was able to write save/load methods to store state in a JSON file, and generate events to a Flow whenever a task was created, updated or deleted.

Another one: I asked it how I could debug why a gstreamer pipeline had a refcount of 2 after the pipeline stopped running and it pointed me to a number of debug tools and environment variables I could set to trace refs in the pipeline.
I think it's more likely a nervous candidate who may not be comfortable or experienced in conversation, as many introverted tech type people seem to be. I don't think it's being taught; it's more likely the result of the candidate not having had interview coaching at all.
You make a really good point, and while the color-price discrepancy remained true in my story for the 'stock' cost yellow and red vs. neutrals, my sample size is 1 model of car so it's hard to say how true that stays across the board.
According to who? I have the same issue and it's annoying.
I've found it's often like pairing with a junior developer who is familiar with whatever problem you're describing and types insanely fast, and that's without learning too much how best to prompt it. A recent discovery was that you can ask it what problems may exist in its code, then ask it to fix them.
what have u been listen to?
Research is for the elite, while engineering can be also pursued by normies. It's not wise to pursue a research career if you aren't fascinated by the subject and don't want to spend most of your time on it. If you want a not very demanding, but well paying job that allows for a decent work-life balance, then software engineering is indeed a better choice. Especially doing backend engineering in large, non-tech companies (banks, telecoms).
Except that the Javascript ecosystem moves on and leaves you holding the pieces of your broken software and unresolved dependencies...
> starting alone, naked, as a tribal, on an ice sheet - with one leg!

Francis John on Youtube basically did this recently. He talks a good bit about the math of the game, and he minmaxes his minmaxing. You could just spend all your time cheesing the game, or you can cheese it when it doesn't really affect whatever narrative you are trying for in your playthrough. There are materials in your environment that ding you even if you don't gather or process them. There are materials that ding you less once processed. Knowing what's what mean you don't mine a mineral formation until you need the material.

If his camp wasn't constantly attacked by giant furry creatures he would have probably been toast. The RNG kept throwing him meat and cold weather clothing materials. He had to kite them but then real hunters of megafauna kind of do the same thing. He fed his animals meat that the humans would not eat (namely, the flesh of dead raiders).

Anyway, I think if you want to understand Rimworld 'physics' more, that series is probably a decent starting place. But he also makes no bones about how frequently the game is one or two clicks away from war crimes.

I've mostly just gone back to Oxygen Not Included and make do without narrative and variation that I kind of wish were there.
They could do that, but then users in some countries would have to pay 0.693 of their local currency or whatever. Why should the US be the only country that gets friendly looking prices?
Huh. I've noticed many recent cars had a sort of saturated pastel (I call it "creamsicle") and I think this might be the same thing.
ChatGPT remembers the things it was trained on, and things that came up in the last 2048 tokens of dialog, which is about 600 words. (2048 is the GPT-3 size and I'm only guessing that ChatGPT uses the same size.)
>were advertisers try to create sociogenic illnesses that spread theire product/brands information.

I can think of a lot of advertising jingles that work this way.
Slightly smaller than which of the dozens of phones of varying sizes that look like that phone, which only appears for ~1 sec, 5/6ths of the way through a video many visitors won't play?

Numerical specs are a poor substitute for a visual-intuitive sense of something's size, versus common referents.

My suggestion is only if Ledger wants their product to be easily understandable to the largest possible audience of buyers. If they're only interested in the smaller subset of people for spend extra time digging, & can interpret numerical dimensions well (perhaps with the aid of rulers/etc), then being more obscure about its size makes sense.
> From an instution standpoint there are some bad apples but a lot of organizations that are not complying are not complying because they are facing technology and operational issues that are stopping them from complying. From the trenches in my consulting practice one example is an institution whose has a core element of their billing system, that is largely a black box even to them, using technologies that are decades old.

I recognize this is the reality. But it seems insane that they have not fixed this in decades and instead charge people based on a “black box.”

I’m sure the fact that they make more money this way has nothing to do with their inability to comply.

From my perspective, as a patient and taxpayer who funds these things through Medicare and Medicaid, I think those who are incompetent and shady are the same to me.

I’d almost rather have a health system try to cheat than so stupid they don’t know what’s happening. The company that cheats on billing seems more likely to be competent than the one who doesn’t know how to cost their care and hasn’t known for decades.
the reason is cilantro is difficult to wash.

Depends on the location. Sales taxes are determined at the state, county and municipal level and apply to different things in different places (so, for example, Illinois does not charge sales tax on magazines, but California does, and the tax rate on a single donut may be higher than the tax rate on a dozen donuts (prepared food vs groceries).

This language style is a bit more common in academic writing outside of the Anglo tradition that is most commonly reported in the English-speaking world. British and American university training emphasises more clinical language, for better and worse.
Actually, I do. I've lived there.

Generally speaking, substantial alterations to hydrological regimes can cause deleterious cascading ecological effects. Just look toward the literature on the hydrological (and consequential ecological) effects of dams (necessary to divert water) for examples.

One of particular interest is dams' tendency to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding events, which are characteristically necessary for much of the functioning of floodplain ecosystems such as those you're describing.

Such reductions can wreak havoc on biodiversity in these regions.
The delusion is that this is good for your country. That you missed this delusion and then were totally convinced of your own cleverness even though you missed such an enormous flaw.. well that's kindof the point.
Would you consider a factory Grand National or Marauder "murdered" or would such cars also need tinted everything?
Apple is the merchant.
It’s onshoring from the perspective of an American company that contracts out to TSMC fabs, such as Apple, AMD, nVidia, Marvell, Qualcomm, or other major TSMC clients. Sony is also a TSMC client so if TSMC built fabs in Japan, Sony would be onshoring.
> My company doesn't have a "Software Architect" job title. Instead the closest thing is "Staff+ Engineer"

Not off-topic at all, this is aligned with what I see. In older or 'regulated industry' companies the role and career path of Architect still exists. But more and more I just see senior roles that are flavours of Principal/Staff/Fellow and they still have normal Engineering duties but then in early greenfield stages of projects act as Architects, just not as a full time role.
At first, there was no output. After maybe 3-4 minutes it displayed "An error occurred ... contact help etc" message. I waited about 30 seconds then tried again and it said that was too fast. So I waited a whole minute and tried again and it immediately spat out the "An error occurred" message. To me, the idea that it crashed stuck with me because of how it streams its output, which was empty for 3-4 minutes on the first try.

EDIT:

To clarify, based on the above sequence of events and timings, I figured the inference instance crashed and the API layer returned and error then cached it.

Why do designers need to know git or build the actual app? The designers I've worked with in corporate settings work in Figma, they don't touch the code at all. We have design handoffs where we ask questions about the designs and implement them in code.
