Highly unlikely you will get a severance pay as most company will only offer barely minimum required by law, which is is not much and definitely not worth the hassle. Also probation period makes things even worse for new starters as it can easily abused to dismiss a new employee for no good reason.

Home delivery for what, would be my question. I absolutely hate home delivery for food, and that went for pizza delivery in the "bad old days" just as much as Doordash in modern times. I'm only ever getting food from local restaurants anyway, I'd rather get it myself.

But package delivery, hell yeah. It's opened up an unimaginable world of products that simply don't exist at a corner store.

I live about a 5 minute walk from my local post office, but that's still an order of magnitude less convenient than having stuff delivered to my house. Especially because the post office is not necessarily on my way home from wherever I happen to be.

I've never once worried about missing a package. you seem to be constructing an idealized world of urban life, while simultaneously creating a fantastically unsafe world of suburban life. I've never in my life had a package stolen from my porch. I don't have security cameras up all over the place, I just choose not to worry, and it all works fine.
Show HN: Standardizing NLP for a Modern ETL
Hi guys,

I've been thinking a lot about how advancements in NLP can be standardized; when building a sentiment analysis, you know for sure that other attributes than the actual sentiment can be highly interesting, such as the urgency.

Together with my team, I started a new open-source project, aiming to do exactly that. It's called bricks, and it is a composition of more than 50 open-source and modular code snippets, such as computing sentence complexities, emotionality detection and many more.

For context, the idea came up after watching the incredible talk "Inventing on Principle" by Bret Victor. The goal is to make the gap between Idea to Implementation shorter.
As a Nigerian, one of my biggest goals is to save enough to invest in a second passport. Since the last administration took over, their policies have been spectacularly bad - and that's coming from me, a Nigerian (and African) who has only known bad government all his life.

When COVID-19 kicked in and oil revenues dried up, the government turned on the printing presses and churned out an awful amount of Nairas. Like anyone who has a basic knowledge of economics would have expected, the Naira tanked - aggressively. From around N365/$1 to N740/$1 as of today (i.e., on the black market).

Instead of facing up to the problem, the government has created multiple exchange rates, demonized bureau de change operators, and generally restricted how much FX you can access.

And as presidential elections are coming up in 2023, millions of citizens are still eager to vote for the clowns that will just crank the lever to 11.

At some point, you just feel trapped. Most citizens don't even recognize it and the CBDC was launched without no opposition.

Come to think of it, it was launched after a series of anti-government protests in OCTOBER 2022. So, the government started tying SIM cards to personal ID numbers and trying to force a CBDC. So, if such a protest should repeat itself, you just get cut off from the financial system without fanfare.

That's what pains me: those who were protesting government brutality in October 2020 have said nothing about this and they see it as just another step towards a digital economy.

It's so discouraging being a libertarian and knowing how this will end.
The irony being that because air traffic keeps increasing and airport capacity doesn't (in term of runways), those cancelled jumbo jets (B747, A380) will be needed again in a few years.
Apple hardware is terrible.

I wish someone could somehow make a laptop with the internals of an MacBook (mainly the CPU), but with the externals of a Thinkpad, including the far-superior Thinkpad keyboard and far better aesthetics. And while they're at it, make it easy to pop the back cover off and replace components (esp. the HD) as needed.

While ChatGPT comments may not offer much in terms of original thought, it's important to remember that they are generated by a machine learning model and should not be held to the same standards as a human's response. It's unfair to accuse someone of posting a ChatGPT generated comment without proof, as doing so can lead to unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings. It's always best to give others the benefit of the doubt and assume that they are contributing to the conversation in good faith. It's also important to remember that it's okay to disagree with someone or to challenge their ideas, but it should always be done in a respectful manner.

On a more serious note, I've seen some downright jarring comments come out of ChatGPT that honestly give me the impression that original thought isn't as original as I want it to be...

It's because there's a pedo rape scene in the book that's central to the plot, and the book itself doesn't disapprove of it in any way.

Neither do Neal Stephenson's fans, apparently[1].

The extra creepy factor is that the pedo rape scene is written by the (then) 33-year-old man from the perspective of the 15-year-old girl who doesn't see it as bad thing.

I loved the book, but I wish ol' Neal did a second edition with someone giving adults lasting after the 15-year-old in the book as little as look disapproval to hint that, maybe, sexualizing 15 year olds is as bad as glorifying corporations.

India's approach was to cancel large-denomination banknotes, but it did not have the intended effect, https://archive.ph/ynouY

> India’s prime minister, announced in November that Rs1,000 ($16) and Rs500 notes would no longer be legal tender, he suggested that corrupt officials, businessmen and criminals — popularly believed to hoard large amounts of illicit cash — would be stuck with “worthless pieces of paper”. But the Reserve Bank of India’s annual report on Wednesday suggested that most holders of the old currency managed to dispose of it

> ... The bank’s estimate follows media reports that complex money-laundering networks sprang up in the wake of the demonetisation to help wealthy Indians deposit huge volumes of previously undeclared currency without exposing themselves to tax authorities. Such people allegedly sold the old notes, at a discount, to brokers who then dispatched low-income Indians to deposit or exchange them at banks.
I used to fully agree with that feeling but not anymore.

IMO they are two kinds of tests:

1. Tests to help you retain information.

2. Tests to evaluate your knowledge.

Assuming this question belongs to the first kind (memorization) and the answer is in a textbook being studied, then this is a good question.
In previous posts where the 747 has come up, I've been able to say that I once flew top deck on a 747 and what a privilege it was to do so before it ended service with U.S. carriers, not knowing how close I was to missing that chance forever.

And here I am, sitting in Berlin, reading this article about the last 747, happy in the knowledge that I will once again fly on the top deck of a 747 in exactly a week. Lufthansa's still flying them, and I could not pass up the $500 upgrade for the flight home.

I'll make sure to savor every moment.

That sounds like a messy situation.

Has the company been founded? It seems like it, but your headline suggests otherwise.

Figure out the following:

1. Who (legally) owns the code you wrote?

2. Have you talked to the founders? What is your general relationship?

3. Do you consider yourself a founder, a part of the team, or just a contractor for them? Do you even want to become a permanent part of the team?

4. Regarding the stock options, go talk to a lawyer to figure out what's your agreement is worth

Sometimes wasps have other ideas about "treading on them" like "You are near and made a sudden move, you are threat". It gets worse when you are allergic to wasps. I've worked near a place where transport company cleaned their syrup and milk carrying trailers, so we sometimes had a lot of wasps and one of coworkers had to constantly have adrenaline with him. If he got stung and couldn't do it himself, we were trained on how to jab him and call ambulance.

Also I disagree that answers "could use to make it more difficult to detect ChatGPT generated content". Mainly because I don't expect OpenAI will retrain network to bypass detectors. The purpose of ChatGPT is to be a good language model, not an "algorithmically undetectable" language model.
Your line of reasoning look very confused and muddy. Let's make it simple.

In the ecological cycles of this planet, animals have to eat animals for it to work. So some suffering is necessary.

So I see nothing wrong with me being an animal, that eats other animals and creates some suffering.

So where is the contradiction to avoid more suffering, wherever possible?

The above point is actually much more simple: The American revolution succeeded in installing a lasting democracy based on consent of the governed. The French revolution created an event called "Le Terreur"[1] and ended up installing an Emperor.

Hehe, there was a fire in a parking garage next to an airport in Norway a few years ago which basically destroyed the garage and all cars inside. People were really quick to blame it on an EV igniting and raving about how EV's should be banned from parking garages and on and on for days until investigation showed the fire started in a diesel car.

(Granted, the many EV's in there made the fire much harder for fire fighters to put out)
CFA has found lots of small incremental improvements that speed up the drive thru process significantly.

How do people typically convert from local currency to cryptocurrency? Is Bitcoin the most popular cryptocurrency? Are there not relatively high fees for conversion from cash to crypto, or to use crypto as payments for smaller transactions?
They are indeed based on similar code in the training dataset, but it also takes into account the context of the code in the conversation thread. While the initial code it generates is already impressive and pretty accurate. To me, the real power comes out when iterating on the code through followup conversation.

For example, I asked it to write an implementation for a piece of Kotlin code I provided describing an interface for a CRUD TaskRepository with typical `addTask`, `removeTask`, `getTask(id: UUID): Task?`, `getTasks(parentId: UUID): List<Task>` methods. It generated a TaskRepositoryImpl class backed by a `Map<UUID, Task>` and all method implementations where correct, including checking a projectId property in the getTasks method. Note that I never gave it the code for the Task class.

Then I iterated on it by asking "Add save and load methods that store state in a JSON file" and it did just that: Introducing the Gson library, serializing the backing map to a JSON string before writing to the file, loading the file again and deserializing into the map.

After that I asked "Add a SharedFlow<TaskEvent> that publishes events when creating, removing and updating tasks" and it was able to infer where to emit events, providing sensible names like `TaskEvent.Created`.

In another test case I asked it to write an Android layout xml for a login screen with username, password, login button and login spinner which it did. I iterated once asking it to use components from the Material library and to make sure the Spinner was overlaid over the form. Then I followed up with "Write the corresponding activity code in Kotlin". It generated a full LoginActivity class that loads the layout xml, findViewById for the fields and buttons, input validation with error handling, show/hide the login spinner when logging in, starting the MainActivity when login succeeds and it even mocked the login method with an artificial delay of 2 seconds. Its explanation of the code described that the delay was there to simulate a login, while in real code you would replace this with an HTTP call or a call to a loginService.

And have a look at these snippets of conversation where I asked it to improve a dueLabelString method I provided. https://imgur.com/a/ZtViC3d

Is this "reasoning about the code"? I don't know and it's hard to say.
So my very first comment remains valid. No idea what you're objecting to.
> These graphs seem to say otherwise.

Which graphs? I wasn't talking about 1971 or the largely US-specific chart of not compensating people.

I'm talking about deflationary currency. With a deflationary currency people who got in early and got the larger part of the pie will for ever be ultra rich, and get richer.

Because the money you get now will only increase in value over time. So you got in early and got a single coin X for something. Congrats, you're nearly infinitely richer than, say, your grand kids who'll be getting fractions of a percent of that coin for that same something.
> But we should look at what Lua did for Neovim. There has been an explosion of development effort now that Neovim finally added a reasonable programming interface.

It is very much debatable whether Lua is the "reasonable programming interface" causing the activity in Neovim. Vimscript has many flaws, one of them being that it doesn't look like other programming languages, but it does its specialized job pretty well. It is slow, but efforts are made in that area. Lua is well designed but it certainly has its shortcomings too, and many argue (me included) that programming in Lua is not that pleasant. The Lua bindings have been available in Vim for quite some time, but they never were popular, for some reasons.

Anyway, it is not directly related to your point, but I think that example is not that compelling.
Damn, it is like a call center in the Philippines.

Well said.

In a time when people didn't question their gender, many of them might have felt themselves to be alone in their feelings. They not only learned to suppress their feelings (to avoid ridicule or worse), they were unable to understand them because literature was oppressed. Much self-isolation, even tragedy ensued. In many "less civilized cultures" these differences were not an excuse for abuse, but were recognized, even exalted ... until the colonizers came along with their 'truths'.

Exploring, understanding and accepting ourselves is an important step, for -all- of us, not just the typicals. "To thine own self be true..."

The latest builds of FSD beta prove that to be true.

The question now becomes what can be done to make it better, and how much better is required.

similarly, humans can clearly drive vehicles "sufficiently" after consuming alcohol. Countries disagree on the amount, and the definition of "sufficient".
My intention was more picking a problem like "solve climate change" rather than "solve image segmentation". For me that's the space of human learning, language learning and Chinese. But for my day job it's more general AI. So, keep one eye on the tech for its own sake, but the other eye on what real-world problems you actually want to solve with it.

I agree with you about the context dependence being problematic in C++ (and that is also why overloading operators to give them entirely different meanings is deeply frowned upon, as I mentioned in other contexts).

However, I was curious - is it not possible in Haskell for two different libraries to introduce the same operator with different meanings, and still be used in the same program (though perhaps not in the same file)? That would be an unfortunate limitation all on its own, and one that mathematical notation certainly doesn't share.

In general, re-using symbols for similar purposes is also an extremely commonly used tool in mathematics, for the exact reason that constantly introducing completely new symbols is not worth the mental hassle. For example, when defining the "dot product" and "cross product" operations for vectors, entirely new symbols could have been introduced, but it was preferred to reuse common multiplication symbols (hence the names) as there is some relation to the real number multiplication operation.

It never crossed my mind that OB ERs would be seen as fraud instead of specialized care for readily identified special populations. I guess this is a major case of YMMV but with three* lifetime trips to an emergency room under my belt I think the separate OB ER is a fantastic idea. The OB ER provided rapid definitive care vs the regular adult ED which was a hellscape.

*the third trip, like you, was passing through the OB ER on the way to delivery and I’d never count it normally… then again unlike you my total cost out of pocket was $5. The financial experience of childbirth has been one of the most useful tools in reframing my understanding of total comp as something very different than salary.
