but it's a bit stupid to cut off a country from shows. This is lost soft power, and gives more space for Putin's shows.

Russia no longer being able to watch shows demonstrates what 'content' is now about : 'content' that consumers pay for.
They're no longer about meaning, meant to be provocative, influential, spark a discussion, or anything. They are meant to be sold, not actually viewed.
“The market” spoke twice, during the oil crisis of 1975. It was made very clear to said market that if oil was priced at competitive levels, people who made that decisions would be bombed out of existence and the memory of men. Horrors are committed every day, including today, in Yemen, in your name. Starvation, genocide, rapes…

There is nothing more shockingly unethical and disgusting to pretend that killing millions of people every year and destroying entire countries is somehow moral because of “the market”.
Hah! I've been to Oulu. These people are hardy. Riding bikes in winter near the Arctic Circle is tough work. Yet the bike racks were full in January when I visited a few years ago.

Aaaaand it's no longer suspended.
I know it's hard. I don't wish it --but at the same time many people _got_ jobs _because_ companies overhired. Had they not, then many people would have had no job at all or would have had to take lesser jobs. Just imagine 25% tech across the board if they had kept their belts tight. How many people would have not gotten that tech job over the last two to three years? That would suck even more.
That is indeed true. One of my alts there (like out of 25 at the moment, subject matter per acct) got permabanned sitewide for calling into question the business name and property ownership for a mental health nonprofit that has "ARC" in its name.

The "ARC" acronym stands for 'Association for Retarded Citizens', back when "retarded" was a clinical definition. It's now defunct. But those names still live on in property deeds and corporation names. https://thearc.org/about-us/history/ has the history of this name.

But Reddit.. egads, I have no clue what they're trying to accomplish. Maybe they're trying to clean themselves up from anything that even smells bad. If you want to speak about 'questionable topics', you have to use onomatopoeia to even talk about it (like, wee-tod-did , seggsual, unalive). I'm personally thinking of just abandoning reddit over their slow-boiling the frog, if you will.
Yeah, unless you see this as a cheap opportunity to slurp up talent and ditch anyone that's seen as a "problem".
lnav does support JSON-lines and logfmt logs. For JSON-lines, it will pretty-print the log messages to make them human readable.

For logfmt, I seem to remember the spec not being very clear on quoting semantics (maybe I'm wrong). Anyhow, I would suggest using JSON since it has pretty broad support at this point.
More likely, poor management due to growth incentives caused a lot of unnecessary hires and now's an opportune time to do layoffs.
Not OP, but TI manufactures in both the US and Asia and they also outsource some of their manufacturing. I assume the other companies are the same. I recognize about half of those manufacturers, and I'm not even into hardware.

"Microcontrollers, voltage regulators, and digital signal controllers" are very much commodity parts that companies buy in huge bulk and are available pretty much everywhere. I'm not surprised to see them in a drone (Iranian or otherwise) because I'd expect to see them in ANY sort of complex electronics device - drone, car, washing machine, computer, child's interactive toy, you name it. Ditto for most of the other stuff.
They claim they want to destroy Israel and call the US the big satan. They aren't famous for rational decision making.

Letting them of all people get nukes is a very bad idea.
> The era of the Ultimate Reply Guy is upon us, and it sucks. In the same way that rickrolling was a substitute for having a sense of humor, “Here’s what the robot says” is a substitute for insight or personality.

As opposed to the usual high-quality, high-effort content on social media of one of the following: pictures of pets, pictures of kids, pictures of food, pictures of an insightful quote you copied somewhere, videos of you lip synching to something, videos of you dancing the exact same dance that a million other people have done on other videos, pictures of you in front of a landmark or at a beach or pool to show how "wordly and cultured" you are, your quiz results for some bullshit made-up quiz, some five-second hot take commentary on some current event topic (likely just parroting another hot take you read five minutes earlier), how much you loved or hated the newest blockbuster film or tv show, etc etc.

I'd rather see what a good A.I. has to say about various subjects compared to most of those, personally.
I think you're making a very good point. Most of us are in school as a requirement. Music lessons aren't a forced requirement like school, at least generally speaking.

It is instead parents that often push their kids into lessons. One point I don't see mentioned much here: you want your kids to be inspired, and there are lots of ways to do that. But, I think it's equally if not more important as the parent to BE INSPIRING to them re: music.

I was first trained on saxophone, flipped to drums, and can dabble on guitar and piano. I don't know if I chose saxophone when I was in elementary school, but it was an option, and I chose it to some degree. But my dad was all over it in a good way. He numerous saxophone-playing friends from his own days playing the keys in bands. He helped me acquire an old and unique sax that really made care to maintain and play it. He suggested I play along with certain songs he liked. And he came to all of my recitals as well.

So, I never resisted it because my parents forced me. That said, I did get bored of a more classical way of playing and tried for quite some time to flip my saxophone playing to jazz.

Ultimately, I flipped to drums because I had been banging on things with some good rhythm for my entire life. It was just natural, and I knew that I had mostly found the instrument that fit me. By that point, I was old enough to start playing in bands and that was what fueled many more years of truly enjoyable performance.
I was looking forward to hearing about the next x3D CPUs and I'm relieved to hear they're finally coming. I'm excited about the benchmarks after seeing how capable the previous one was.

I think the assumption that manufactured by US companies = within US borders is wrong. The US is no longer a manufacturing powerhouse.

For example, from TI's website (https://careers.ti.com/locations/): "TI’s only comprehensive manufacturing site (is) located in Chengdu"
Totally off-topic, but I always find it a bit sad how Ireland pays lip service to Irish being their first official language (note that the Irish-language name in their logo is bold and on top) but in reality it is a nearly 100% English-speaking country (note that this press release was published in English, and the link to the Irish version of the page doesn't work).

Really demoralizing, if you care about language preservation, to see how difficult it is even in a very rich country with major cultural and political reasons to want to preserve a language, and which expends significant resources doing so. Now think of all the obscure languages around the world and how impossible it is for them to survive long term.
sure. but it seems one third of the range seems too pessimistic according to those numbers.
> Which ironically is how white people during the Jim Crow era in the south decided guilt vs. innocence of black people accused of crimes.

Civil vs. Criminal cases have different levels of guilt. Further, this isn't either, but a private company and its TOS. It's perfectly reasonable to hold different standards for different situations. I would hope that we hold a higher standard for criminal activity. What GitHub did was very much use the powers conservatives have fought long and hard to maintain.
US companies are generally banned from doing any business with Iran, period.

That, of course, won't stop someone in China from ordering a million chips from TI and shipping them to Iran (or Russia).
No, it depends on the culture. Both whites and blacks raised on East London will have similar accents for example.

Since we are strawmanning, are you saying that cultures and races have a 1-to-1 relationship?
Used to be a heavy Adobe user, but stopped some years ago. Recently, a project required me to use Lightroom again so had to sign up again (with different email this time), so checked this user that was created ~2 months ago, and the setting is On by default. I'm not in the US.
Is it ridiculous to refuse to go back to slinging Java?
(This isn't a comment on Java itself or any JVM languages. The JVM is the most battle hardened piece of software in human existence.)

I, like a few other people in this community, am looking around in the job market. My startup is on the brink and just in case I'm looking.

Recently I've been writing a lot of production Go and Rust. I'm a backend engineer by trade. I've architected entire platforms on k8s and cloud providers.

As I look around, many of the places that are low hanging fruit in my NYC market (read: banks/financial services) are all slinging Java. And not "JVM languages", or even modern Java... Java 8 at best. And frankly that just seems uninteresting and soul sucking.

I'm getting to the elder years of being considered young (early 30's), so I didn't go through, or even have an understanding of, the dot com bubble. However, I've seen it described as a "winter". Am I crazy or unreasonable for not wanting to do (what I guess I see as) commodity Java development?

Money isn't really an issue (I left a FAANG prior to my current situation), I guess it's just a question of whether my expectations are misplaced.

Also having been at a FAANG, I really don't see the leetcode grind as worth it... maybe that lowers the number of options as well.

I don't know. Thoughts?
I went 8088->386SX->486DX/33->P5/100->...

The 386SX transition was nice, because it also brought Windows (with its standard printer drivers) and enough memory and video capability to start to do interesting work with graphics. It brought most of what I'd call the baseline capabilities of a modern computer, with the subsequent generations mainly just adding capacity.

It was interesting at the time, though, that the 486 I had was mainly heavily constrained by expansion bandwidth. It had an accelerator for the video, but the connection from the CPU into the video card was just 16-bit ISA. Anything that had to transit the bus was glacial - so it couldn't really do more than 8bpp graphics. It was a great argument in support of local bus (and a source of some amount of envy when VLB DX2/66's started showing up... computationally only about double speed, but so much more capability to drive the screen).
that's why you use rel=canonical and rel=alternate. Read the google recommandations. Nowhere it is said to add noindex. Just the rels.
> iPhone is a form of self harm

Ok, that’s enough HN for today.
Maybe.

If the supplier for iran is centralized then having a catalogue of these specific components and monitoring for purchases of them could tip who the supplier is. If the source of the components are separated into different entities and components are only brought together in Iran, then yea I think it would be super hard to find them.
>Because I don't think that an average human can create a better version of ChatGPT / StableDiffusion

probably not without lots of years of education, no.
That's only because memories haven't been fully developed for AI, yet. Most LLM examples don't know what they said in response to input from yesterday, much less from 5 minutes ago.

Additionally, without a construct, like a body, in which to store these memories, AGI will continue to disappoint those who do.
I've had the same experience and I agree. It's deeply ingrained but it's not hardwired so it can be changed, it just requires going against the grain in almost every area of your life in order to avoid being impacted by the modern food environment (in America at least).
Yes, but most numbers I've seen on nozzle size / kerf size are too big by a factor of 2. In the worst-ish case for a cutting process that cuts a pill shape (rectangle with semicircle ends from a translating circular cut) by plunging in from the edge, my total tooth height is 0.3mm so if I aim for 0.1mm of flat, then that leaves 0.2mm of radius == 0.4mm kerf. Most typical numbers I've seen are more like 0.9mm and the Wazer for example is 1.2mm.

Maybe worth another look though to see if there are more specialized machines. The thickness & total amount of material I'm removing is nothing so maybe there's something out there
Another comment has a list here.

GPS modules and microcontrollers are about as fancy as it gets. They listed (gasp) power supply regulators, and chips from Analog Devices that I presume to be OpAmps or similar.
I said they were safer, not completely safe. If a fire happened with a Sodium EV I suspect they'd treat it as a grease fire and try to put it out with chemicals not water, but I am not a firefighter.
On 2, what really grinds my gears is that some of that content is tied to the country of your funding payment method, including podcasts in a language you don't speak about local politics on the other side of the world.
> of vision are not "AGI-hard". A key component of self-driving is something that can determine whether a volume of space is empty, occupied, or ambiguous. It's necessary to have something that does not report "empty" for occupied areas, and has a reasonably high accuracy rate on not emitting false reports of "occupied". There are sensor suites which can do that. LIDAR can do that. If you have data from a few viewpoints, you can do that. Musk has tried to turn it into an AGI problem, but that's his problem, not a property of the problem space. (If you look at California DMV autonomous vehicle crash reports, the successful companies have solved "is that area empty", and are now struggling with "what is that other car/pedestrian/bicycle going to do?")

Isn't the latter part of vision the part that's "AGI" hard though, and why the article talks/handwaves about "perfect visual reasoning" and not basic classification and object tracking/predicting? LIDAR can determine there's an obstruction in the road, driving AI can determine that the obstruction appears to consist of people and their intent is not possible to predict with any confidence based on observations in its training set, a human applies higher level reasoning to infer - without having seen a visually similar group of people before - that they're protestors showing demonstrable hostility to vehicles that should be avoided, a rabble of drunks pouring out of a neighbouring venue that may part in response to forward movement and judicious use of the horn, or an organized event which probably has a set route and finishing time which can be ascertained by stopping to speak to them. Plus, of course, it can handle the non-vision based bits of that scenario without having done so before.

> A big surprise, and shock to many, has been the discovery that punditry, and what passes for intellectualism in some quarters, can be done by a really good autocomplete with a big training set. This says more about human discourse than it does about AI

I strongly agree with this. It's akin to Moravec's paradox. Turns out a machine can give mediocre-undergraduate level responses to complex abstract questions about human psychology purely by pattern matching what people have written (which isn't dissimilar to how mediocre undergraduates approach the question...) whilst possessing less actionable insight into human emotion than the average dog. And we've managed that without having a clue how to make a computer happy or angry.
Try steelmanning. Or, at the very least, maybe buttermanning, someone's argument when you respond to them.
The problem with that is that legally, the contract to pay a provider, and the instruction to your credit-card company to pay a recurring amount, are two separate things. Some companies will send threatening letters, dept collectors etc after you if you just cancel the CC instruction.

It's different on the apple store, where Apple forced providers to agree that a subscription could be unilaterally cancelled via the store. Ideally we would pass a law so that credit cancellation also cancels a contract as long as the minimum period is over. Not holding my breath though.
>Games haven't really gone down in price either

They have though. Games used to be so much more expensive back in the day.

I actually ran across this nugget recently: https://twitter.com/Mailia/status/1608496022589952003

You had to shell out $70 for a copy of Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98. That's $130 when adjusted for inflation. And disc-based games weren't as cheap as you'd expect either. I think I saw an ad for Crash Bandicoot and the inflation-adjusted price of the game was like $74.

These days you might need to pay for $70 if you want a triple-A title on release date. If you don't mind waiting a bit or just go non-blockbuster titles, you can find a lot of games for quite a lot less.
I loved 'Humans Who Make Games' - there haven't been any new ones in quite some time but the old ones have interviews with Edmund McMillen, Derek Yu, Alex Preston and Kim Swift amongst others
For new music (as in recorded and released recently), no. Most of the music I buy is made by artists who probably tour in a van. So, every little sale matters to these folks. And, I'm happy to support them! In regards to some hit record from the 60's that already went 10x platinum (or whatever), I'll grab the free version in a heartbeat.

For movies / tv series, I don't want to bother. I really don't. But, the streaming landscape is just out of control (for lack of a better phrase). Even with just a few services, the signal to noise ratio is heavily noise. Who knew there were so many Christmas movies?! I just want to watch Elf. Oh, it's on the other streaming service? That's weird, it was on here last year!

I just want to buy some of this stuff digitally, so I can watch it without having to Google what service it's on. Or, after Googling it's location, come to find it's been removed recently (looking at you, Netflix). But, a lot of the newer shows are streaming only. Which, leaves one option if you want it on a hard drive.
Mistakes happen, and I’m a fan of mea-culpa reversion, as long as they undo their mistake quickly. Undoing it in a few hours (at 7am Seattle time, no less) seems fine.

Shaming people (and entities) after they publicly admit a mistake tends to encourage them to dig in their heels and never revert. GitHub has a stranglehold on developer culture; they easily could have kept him banned. But whoever got him unbanned is also a part of GitHub, so they’re worth praising.

I agree it wasn’t ideal though.

Never tried it; I don't think it works too well. Amazon is probably better in that case.
From what I can see, there are two (three?) things being interwoven here in a way that I find quite perplexing.

First, there is a "T2 Architecture" which appears to be an attempt to build a new computer architecture from scratch, including (I think) dedicated hardware that can be meshed together.

Second, there is some sort of cellular automaton (I think?) that operates on a grid, and a pattern has been produced which results in that pattern reproducing.

Thirdly (?), there is the rule-based grid system on which #2 is being built.

I gather that these are supposed to be related somehow, but I'm not sure exactly how -- is this something where there is a simple substrate with simple rules (built on or perhaps the purpose of the T2 architecture?) with a layer of reproducing programs ("organisms") on top of it, with the goal of allowing (eventually) the ecosystem defined by a population of those "organisms" to perform computations on behalf of a user?

It does not appear to be Conway's Game of Life, or at least nobody is saying that. I think a reproducing pattern would be a pretty significant accomplishment in itself. If this is some other rule-based grid system, then it seems like it's worth studying that on its own, independent of the underlying machine architecture?

I wish some of these videos would just come out and say it, because for the life of me I can't tell if they (the architecture and the system and the "organism") are related or just two things happening at the same time.
Nothing in the regulation requires the dark pattern popups that the tech puts up. Literally nothing.
> But the real problem is that we move 2000+ kgs around to move a human of 80 kgs around.

Why is that a problem? If I want to visit my friend who lives 200 miles away, I'm not going to hop on a bike, or walk, or find a horse and buggie to take me there. Vehicles are not inherently evil. In fact they're a great enabler. Even if we take your example at face value and assume nobody travels beyond their city. How is that person who needs a wheelchair to get from point A to point B going to go a mile or two to the grocery store and get their groceries home?

The problem with cars is their carbon footprint, and EVs go a long way to solving that.
1. People don't usually start "math" until much, much later in life compared to music, except a small number of students who gravitate towards it on their own. They're already at a different point in their life with respect to their understanding of practice and hard work.

2. Some people do give up on technical subjects and other practice-intensive pursuits at a young age, for various reasons, all similar to music.

3. Young people are goaded into trying music much more frequently than other pursuits, and parents tend to be more persistent about it.
My “network” includes external recruiters. I’ve met them for lunch, in their office etc.

Mostly boutique shops. I only dealt with local recruiters in my former city (Atlanta) before remote work got to be big. I haven’t looked for a job post Covid.

Hopefully, I will never have to look for a job again. When I leave my current job - hopefully by choice - I will be semi-retired and doing consulting gigs (not staff augmentation).

Ironically, I work for the very company that this article is about. But, I work in the consulting department at AWS. There is a direct easy to measure metric of how much my work contributes to the bottom line compared to my compensation - I’m a billable consultant.
Thanks, this was unclear from the information the GP provided in another thread.
