The unfortunate reality is because these jobs are plentiful and easy to do (NOT saying they aren’t demanding, just that they don’t require advanced training) it incentivizes a race to the bottom in terms of wages - but we should do better as a society in guaranteeing high working standards and wages through regulation instead.
It's interesting that they appear to plan to use with Rails as a back-end (they mention Rails bindings), as Rails 7 release corresponded with a solution which appears somewhat similar to me, turbo/stimulus. (I want to provide a link to it, but I honestly don't know any great docs for it!)

But I haven't used stimulus/turbo myself. I'd be interested in a compare/contrast between Rails' Stimulus/turbo and "Unpoly" covered here.

There also seem to be a number of other non-Rails-related offerings in this space too. They seem to be really multiplying, which I think shows the exhaustion with JS front ends and desire for things in this space (I am not sure quite what to call it). But I wonder if we can converge on one or two instead of creating more and more. One of the benefits of a popular layer is that you can start building share-able re-usable solutions which compose with it -- you can find lots of solutions for certain things for React, like you used to be able to for JQuery, but splitting between stimulus/unpoly/htmx/etc...

What's up with this tendency that it's sufficient to launch a product and sell a few units to call it a success?

It's a trend seen anywhere but especially everything regarding Musk companies.

The world is so big that everything has its little niche, but critics who were skeptical about electric trucks were doing so in the context of being doubtfoul that they'd move the needle on climate change in any significant way.

And again they won't because once again the world is a very big place and believe it or not CO2 is emitted everywhere, not just that uber wealthy costal strip of land going from San Francisco to Los Angeles, but what happens there dominates the political conversation and business conversation and drives the valuation even though no global problem actually gets solved, the important thing is to give the impression that it is being solved

Please give an actual answer next time.

The OP wants specifically sentence-transformers, which are hosted on huggingface but it's a separate library.

You'll want to go with whatever models that the sentence transformers documentation recommends.
CSV looks deceptively simple. It is far too easy to just write(','.join(whatever)), which sort of works, until it doesn’t, and then someone, sometimes I, has to sort out the resulting mess. PLEASE use a proper CSV library (Python comes with a CSV module in the standard library), or at least implement the entire format according to the RFC from the outset, even if you think you won’t need it!

> It's also possible that women's expectations of masculine behavior have changed
in 30 years...

That shouldn't change desire - desire is instinctive.

All the brain cells in the world aren't going to make you more attracted to someone just because of your definition of feminine/masculine.

IOW, heterosexual women are still going to be attracted to traditionally masculine traits. It's almost a tautology - if they weren't, they wouldn't be heterosexual.

Same goes for heterosexual men.
I predict that this will be the Tumblr story all over again. Maybe Apple will buy “Twitter” after their value is less than 1B in a year or something.

There is a lot of transferable knowledge to gain from learning this stuff properly, even if you don’t expect to do core AI work in a commercial setting. Optimization, function fitting, probability/statistics, GPU programming…

My impression is that the field is more disciplined in terms of knowledge now than it was ~8 years ago - the fundamentals are better understood and more clearly expressed in literature.

Also there are still plenty of topics on which the new techniques can probably be fruitfully applied, especially if you have some domain knowledge that the math/CS PhDs don’t have.

For OP - I’m in a similar situation and have been going through Kevin Murphy’s “Probabilistic Machine Learning”, which is pretty massive and dense but also very lucid.

I can confirm that indexing on a hashed value is definitely faster on SQLite at least.

The reason is that indexing on a hash produces a much smaller index so more of it can fit in memory. By minimizing disk seeks, you can speed up query time even if the Big O is the same. In both cases it should be O(log n) since SQLite uses btree indices.
It goes deeper than that. If emails are case sensitive, everything changes in the context of unique accounts. If you have jane.doe@ and Jane.doe@ attempts to login - what do you do?

That seems strange to me as being an "old school" developer I have a lot more trouble trying to get a hang of the new front-end stuff than I do learning a different back-end framework.

But I guess that is just me/generational? Ironically, I feel like there are a lot more job openings for front-end than for back-end now, and I'm much more comfortable on the back-end.

Being a joke doesn't make a comment immune to having wrong parts. Those obvious jokes are not improved by saying you can't find an encoder unless it's actually true.

Yep, let’s not forget that your “simple” Postgres cluster gets complicated really fast when you start having to graft layers of tools on top of it. There’s a reason why Spanner and DynamoDB exist. God forbid someone try to use Postgres to solve the same problems and actually get the configs wrong leading to years of inconsistent data. Definitely never seen that happen…

For me, open source means that sources are available to the end-user, that's all. What you describe is free software (as in freedom). Open source is typically also free (as in freedom/libre) and free (as in beer), but it is not always the case.

I think the question of "what is intelligence" is an interesting one, and technology (especially computer technology) gives us some interesting angles to look at it, but I think it dominates the conversation disproportionately to its importance. Things like ChatGPT, and the technologies they presage, will absolutely have a significant impact on society, economics, etc, but getting tangled up in questions of "what is intelligence" impede rather than help us to think through these implications and prepare for them.

Put another way -- I do not believe the future holds Blade Runner replicants. If we're not careful, though, it does hold Blade Runner corporations. While, philosophically, it's interesting to ask if androids dream of electric sheep, that question isn't very helpful in trying to nudge the future in a more utopic rather than dystopic direction.

While I don't know that I'd go that route to build my own thing when Rails 7 already has turbo_streams and Stimulus I understand wholeheartedly why they'd move away from SPA-for-everything. I can't help but feel that the whole industry is under the spell of React and other single page application frameworks and use them even if other ways would have been faster to build, cheaper to maintain and less complex.
Alternatively you might be able to just use a hash index if you don’t care about range query performance.
Delivering something useful is important. Holmes failed on that, She should have delivered something like regular test machines with a design that resembles something from the sci-fi culture and would have been off the hook for the delays and failures.

Kick ass to see progress continuing on this great Miracast implementation (Miraclecast). It seems to have been one of the ongoing sticking points that Linux just never quite got going, in spite of a couple tries.

It's unfortunate the industry as a whole never really got their stuff together on this- while I like the thicker client model that, say, a Chromecast has for many reasons (not trying to stream media live is a win), having streaming media as a baseline tech seems straightforwardly sensible & universal, and we probably would have advanced wifi & streaming considerably if this had started seeing wider adoption. It was a reasonable enough wireless-cable-substitute.

There's a PR for getting Miraclecast working as a source for external displays, which would be a great addition. https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/pull/455

Yes that.

I've yet to try the index of hashed values trick though, when I revisit this problem in the future I'll make sure to take note of this!
The issue isn't so much the speed as yes I use bulk SQL statements and can upsert like 4-5k rows per second, it's more the disk writes which I find unsettling as after a few months I've noticed several 10s of TBs of disk writes from Postgres onto the SSDs which seems like unnecessary wear.

> Just that it’s not “obviously” impossible.

Neither was webm support, but that didn't stop them from taking several years to implement it (and even then it was half-finished). Apple clearly wants to play the superiority game with their own codecs. They have zero incentive to support any codecs they didn't build, and have been known to abandon standards that they help develop.

Nothing is technically impossible for Apple, but codec support is stuck between an ideological/financial rock and a hard place.
So instead you bought a car from a company run by people who are afraid to ever travel to the United States because they know they may be subject to personal prosecution for Dieselgate, which they so far evaded.

And that trench is maybe 5-7 kilometers long (it's supposed to be 170).

I never doubted they'll build something, but until they reach that something the original presentation will get dumbed down a few times. It's still gonna be a long (but definitely not 170 kilometers) line with a metro and no cars, but that's about it.

I honestly don't understand your threat model here. from the post I originally replied to, it's clear that you already understand that you can easily reverse unauthorized charges to a credit card. if you're already reviewing your monthly statements (which you really should be, as part of sane budgeting), this is basically a non-issue. you tell your cc issuer you suspect someone has stolen your credit card info, they cancel the card, and you can probably even get them to ship you a new one overnight. it's unlikely things even get to this stage though. card not present with no cvv is already the most highly scrutinized type of cc transaction by the processor.

I guess someone could probably treat themselves to their own monthly takeout order without me noticing for a while, but at least to me, this minuscule risk does not seem worth the mitigations you are taking.
My very bad - please have my sincerest apology.
> These people are effectively bound to their employer because losing their job means losing their home and means of subsistence.

Even in this case it is still significantly better than being enslaved.

Even with the worst wage labour people still have option to leave it. Slave owner can force slaves into mine and never let them out and force them to work in horrific conditions until they die. Happened in many places across history, likely still happens somewhere.

With enough stuff like company scrip, company stores, ensuring that laws outlaw being homeless and deliberate breaking of relationship allowing people to escape you can get situation undistinguishable from slavery.

But just "if I will be fired then I am instantly homeless" is still markedly better than "my owner can force me to work to death in a mine".

> The world is not black and white, and the fact that a situation is not as absolutely terrible as a sex slave in Mauritania should not shut down any discussion. There are shades of involuntary work.

Definitely! I am not claiming that oppression does not exist but "wage labour is tantamount to slavery" is an absurd claim.

A BILLION birds die each year from flying into windows in the US[2]. In fact the majority of birds killed at Ivanpah are killed by flying into the tower, not from being cooked.

> This pond will be covered in carcasses.

Nope! If a bird tries to fly into a rack-mounted panel, it'll probably die, because it's basically flying directly into the surface. If it tries to land on a FLAT panel, it'll be totally fine. Birds don't try landing on water by smashing directly into it.

Also, I have never heard of this "water landing" theory, I suspect its bullshit, and I'm very skeptical that there are many birds trying to do water landings in Texas due to the fact that there aren't a whole lotta lakes there because it's Texas.

We use SPAs and a pretty strict typescript/react stack. And I still have to know:

Cloud Tech (AWS) which also includes, lambdas, Iam management, dynamoDB, cdk or serverless, API gateway, S3, secret managers etc.

Add to that list the technologies that often get thrown in for extra monitoring testing etc. Jest or mocha/Chai for unit tests. Dynatrace for monitoring. Kibana or something for logs. Some tool for analytics. Github actions for setting up deployment and CI. Maybe you need redis for intermediate caching, etc.

In addition, before you kind of sort of had an intuition of how the data flowed through your basic stack from the database to the web page. Nowadays who the heck knows what's happening. You'll hit some api gateway endpoint which auths through a random lambda who knows where on what server, then it will go hit the actual lambda that holds the function you want to call which may reach out to a database but get intercepted by the redis cache etc etc etc.

Yes modern web dev is definitely much simpler /s.
This is the second race baiting WaPo article posted on HN this week.

One difficulty is that many societies are very individualistic. People are isolated. It's not enough to say that your skills are valuable in the abstract. There needs to be work that's obviously worth doing, and this requires either demonstrated demand or a leap of faith.

This is fairly unlikely for someone who is depressed. Enthusiasm is very important and often in short supply.

Also, entitled customers will repel volunteer labor. Being paid is in part compensation for putting up with annoying strangers.
In communist Poland (probably whole Warsaw Pact), not only were they guaranteed, there was an obligation to work. You could go to jail if you avoided work.

For policy making, yes, MEPs are the ones voting. For administrative tasks, deciding on parliament agenda, etc. you need a smaller group for being practical in decision making. Starting each session with a debate on the day's agenda (while in some situations it is a relevant police decision which has to be taken by parliament) and adminsitrative routine tasks is quite inefficient.

Now the parliament has 7 different political groups (fractions) and a bunch of independent members. Having two VPs per fraction is somewhat a compromise between true representative (which would need more people) or ignoring more (they are already ignoring independents)

And yes, of course, you could also force less fractions, but fractions covering too broad of a spectrum are quite problematic too (see spread in the two parties in the US system ...)

And in cost or whatever it is a small part of what parliament costs anyways and quite neglectible.
Nice, though it would be nice to eliminate the need to write any JS. I disagree with page 17, I think server side apps could handle those things fine if they were made to support them.

I've been working on a Ruby framework with all the fancy stuff (reactive VDOM, hot reloading, scoped css) but it's 100% server side. Imagine React, but with Ruby and Haml instead of JS, and all logic runs on the server.

The GitHub link can be found in my comment history. It's not ready to be used for anything serious, but I think it's an interesting approach and maybe there is someone who would like to play with it.
