Ah yeah, the classic “in order to criticize a thing, you must first criticize and root out every possible worse thing.”

People have no way of knowing where the things they buy come from or how to source things ethically unless people write articles like this and push for higher standards when they see an opportunity.

It’s one thing to protect genuinely well-meaning people who can’t meet a purity standard, but OpenAI has a track record of dishonesty (starting with their name).
> how in the world humanity survived to this point

By outbreeding the fact that we also died a bunch for unknown reasons.

And I think this tweet is actually a fairly calming view on things. I wouldn't hesitate to share a room with a couple extra people, so I won't worry about a few candles occasionally, because they're a nice benefit to the space. Meanwhile it's an absolute no-brainer (for me and many other people) to avoid gas stoves, because they don't have any ambience benefits and my local power grid is quite stable.

Living in bubbles might be biologically safer, but we're also creatures that need to live, so it's not a tradeoff most people would (or should) accept. We can make gradual incremental change as we learn more though, and we should try to do so.

Are you using Spotify or Apple Music as your streaming service.

We had endless problems with cover bands and tribute songs rather than the mainstream song when we used Alexa with Spotify (which baffled us as I expect that would be the most common configuration).

We currently use Apple Music and Google Nest devices since our mesh network has them built in. Music works fine. Podcasts are a curse on humanity — if you say “play podcast”, it always defaults to the last episode you played, even if it was months ago. You have to specify the latest episode of so and so podcast EVERY TIME, and even then it’s flaky. It’s like it forgot that podcasts are a derivative of “broadcast” where timeliness is relevant.

The programmable web. A singular gateway to a programmatic way in which you not only consume data but also services. It doesn't exist.

Regular pot smokers absolutely stink.

As to your comment about shit, agreed I likely couldn't smell it from a car distance with windows up. Which tells you how much stronger pot smell actually is since I actually can smell that.

The issue with web-scraping is... wait for it... copying

The problem here is... copying! AI models aren't just taking the "style" from works, they are directly copying the works because they do not have an understanding of what style is because they are computer algorithms that are designed to generate pixel data based upon other inputs.
I don't doubt they exist, I doubt that they're common enough to treat as the general case.

I'm confused: the article includes concerns about "performance". Is the performance hit noticeable in the final binary (i.e. the one I'm running when I `dnf install` the RPM), or is it only during the source compilation?

If it's the latter, I don't see why it's a big deal. If it's the former, I'd love to know why the frame stack version of the program would run more slowly.

I've heard arguments in the past of paying "acceptable" US wages to people in other countries would destabilize the other country more than it would help. I'm not an economist, so I don't know how valid those arguments are. I have always thought they were more scare tactics used in favor of being able to pay those low wages for as long as they could get away with it. I could see though how paying a small-ish number of people wages that dwarfs the larger number of people could cause a bit of turmoil.

to me, it goes back to the argument about remote workers should be paid less than the in office worker. or workers living in cheaper areas should be paid less than those living in expensive areas. to me, the salary should be paying for the work being done and that's it. if the same level of work is being done by both employees, it shouldn't matter if one is in Kenya and the other is in the US. the value of the work is what should be getting compensated. again though, i'm no economist.

Ask HN: With recent layoffs, how would you advise new grads entering the market?
The tech sector underwent rapid manpower growth, and recently, rapid reduction [1,2,3].

What advice do you have for new grads in CS/EE fields looking for jobs? For example, I am finishing my PhD in AI-related work this spring. Colleagues I've talked to in several companies have told me about frozen hiring. Is this true in your experience?

Is it better to get any job than keep searching for the job I'd be most suited for? Should I reach directly to managers in different teams? Who are the best people/kinds of firms to reach out to when the industry is slowing hiring?

My point was that other interpretations result in an equally, if not more plausible story.

Additionally, I'd say that none of them result in a fully plausible story, and that the author wrote it like that intentionally.

And I vastly prefer it that way to a pure allegory, which to me too often seems like a dishonest way to make an argument.
“ If you search for a program, it takes just that tiny second to update results such that if you type one letter too much, your top result goes from program to web search, and pressing enter opens Safari.”

The search in Windows start menu does the same thing. This is from progressive return on results intended to get something to the user fast while the searches are still not done. The downside is a shift like you see. I think subsequent results should only append to the end of the results, not change the order of existing results. As someone mentioned, you can turn off the web search results in Spotlight and it will eliminate most of this problem. I’m not sure if you can do that in the Windows Start Menu or not.
"Recent FAA and Southwest snafus are advancing arguments for modernizing the industry with cloud-based systems that allow crucial operations data to flow more freely"

Damn, nothing like adding onto an already clearly sagging bloated system that nobody understands with a bunch of cloud platform specific knowledge. Pretty sure Southwest's failure was caused by them endlessly shrinking their tech team and ignoring critical work, not because they were running OpenBSD versus Ubuntu.

I F'in LOVE the OG HomePods. The sound quality absolutely slaps for the money/size/convenience. I've got one for music in the kitchen and it fills the room like a setup 3x as large. The bass response even at low volumes is remarkable, and clarity through the whole volume range is near perfection. Many of my guests have sourced their own OGs after hearing it. I've got another hooked up to my Apple TV (mono) that replaced a 3.1 setup that cost 3x as much and somehow didn't sound as good.

I can't relate at all to the bike-shedding of Siri complaints. It's like we're experiencing totally different products. Does anyone actually want to use smart speaker features beyond simple cooking timers and controlling music? These features work great. I thought we'd already determined (4 years ago) that voice/audio was a poor user interface even with google/Alexa? I always felt this was a remarkable speaker that got unfairly panned in reviews for performance on silly and contrived smart-assistant use cases.

Despite the fact that I love these speakers and could care less about Siri, this release has me a little disappointed. I don't see much stated improvement. Kind of seems like a processor bump type release, which is not what I expected in V2 after so many years.
Has this surpassed a normal round of PIPs yet, though? Amazon effectively has a 7% layoff every single year.

Surely you mean avoiding dangerous electric stoves, which emit hazardous electromagnetic radiation?

I'm not a labor wage specialist so your guess is as good as mine. Do you think $1.32/hr. is fair? Are you of the impression after reading the article that the worker's wellbeing was taken seriously and the pay was set at a fair amount considering the kind of work they were doing? I wasn't.
All the top postdocs would rather work at the well-known lab with lots of grant money and experience.

What I want to know is what they were doing before 2004 when they adopted Times New Roman. Courier? Gothic?

Calibri is a nice screen-reading typeface. It is likely that "upstairs" reads on a screen, but I wouldn't bet that much on it.

Times New Roman was designed to shove as many letters into a multi-column newspaper page as possible. It's atrocious for anything else, and should be confined to whence it came, print newspapers. It's only the default because it is the default. Good riddance.

There’s a hack for COBRA if you’re immediately switching jobs: Sign up for COBRA but don’t make the payments. If something really bad happens before coverage at your new employer kicks in, make the payments and the claims.

The performance hit (~2%) is observable at runtime, assuming you're doing things which are CPU bound. For cpython programs the especially large hit (~10%) is well understood though not fixed: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2817#comment-826636

The flip side to this is that when you have good profiling it changes how you write and debug software. You can actually look at the whole system (eg with Flamegraphs https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html) and find out what's taking all the time, and hopefully direct your fixes to the right place. This potentially gives you great performance benefits. Apparently Meta recompile all software with frame pointers and use perf to do this kind of analysis.
Cloud-based software is server-based software. Cloud is just some damn servers that you don't own. There is no cLoUd. There are just servers.

A fair point but my point is that http is a very simple easy to use specification, and for content html can be a very simple easy to use document format, gemini is fine, I think it is great that people are having fun on the internet, you will however have a hard time convincing me that http/html is too complicated. Note that html can be too complicated, but it does not have to be, not everything needs to be some sort of monstrous framework heavy single page javascript encumbered anomaly.
Nah, I can confirm I've smelled heavy pot smokers through my car. Happens at least once a week.

I think it's specifically blunt smokers, but I have no data to support that.
When I was in college, there were so many people to interact with/meet. I then move to another state, I still go to the bars or whatever (spontaneous interaction with strangers is hard but I at least met a guy friend recently to not solo bars anymore). I also spend so much money... it's bad. Strip club for example waste of money, dim, forget what happened next day. Also kind of sad to pay for interaction.

This problem did plague me in school though, it's all I strove for (getting laid).

Step 1) be attractive as they say. Online dating is brutal too, depressing stuff.

I'm just glad there's an outlet for me (porn). Then I can go about my life still.
That's what meritocracy tells us. But I think we're actually quite bad at objectively measuring aptitude, which I would say is what we really want. Capability is a today thing, aptitude is capability plus potential.

We use apparent "merit" as a proxy for aptitude, and that leads to a rich get richer effect, because merit, at the time of evaluation, is often inflated by overinvestment. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, I think there are a huge number of false negatives in our meritocracy games.

As a hiring manager, I've taken advantage of this for years. I look for proxies for potential, rather than present capability. That allows me to acquire underpriced, overlooked talent.
Is this applicable in any therapeutic sense?
A new private-public key pair is generated, the public key is your user identifier (sort of), and the private key is stored on your device (browser or phone). You're logging in by proving you have the private key for the associated public key. I think the device may also be storing a mapping from key to service or something? Not sure.

IMO, I'd much rather have a web that is anticommunist. The gatekeepers today act quite a bit like a politburo and the "content" that is allowed feels a bit like Pravda's editors were involved.
Rugged smartphones are available, but not as small as you'd like.

I think you misunderstand the history of the EU project: its goal is what you describe, but it must be balanced with respecting the autonomy of each individual nation inside the union. It can only work if all involved governments agree to do it. Which is an incredibly difficult thing to achieve.

What we have now is the progress we have managed to make so far. If it does not appear like much, well, you should have seen what things were like before the EU, especially regarding red tape.

I think you got that backwards. The reason why sans serif fonts became popular is because computer displays are low resolution. Before that, they were often used for ads because they were deemed eccentric. On a modern, high resolution display with hundreds of DPIs you can have all the serifs you want.
Not everyone has a high resolution screen and printer, and it is still important to communicate to those who cannot afford them.

Additionally, I find it hard to discern the difference between 0 and O and I, 1, and l in many sans serif fonts (although the same can be said for some serif fonts).
Please note the cognitive dissonance if you believe both that this is wrong and that remote workers' pay should be adjusted based on their location.
Pitfalls to avoid when working with agencies
Coming from personal experience, there are tons of ways working with an agency can go wrong. I’ve spent $120k working with 4 agencies: SEO, paid acquisition, conversion copywriting, and design.

I also know the situation from the other side, as I run a development marketplace to hire vetted engineers (http://lemon.io).

Having matched hundreds of developers with startups and worked with agencies myself, I found what makes choosing an agency a success. Sharing my personal checklist:
When one talks about the average income, does that average only consider people that work? Otherwise, in countries with a high rate of unemployment, I would imagine that a single salary might have to feed the whole extended family, so that one needs to have a salary that is much higher than then average income to be sustainable.
On one hand it is true that significant amounts of carbon are bound by plant life and soils but I am flabbergasted at what people have accepted for carbon offsets.

There is the problem that any money you send to the third world will be gobbled up by tropical gangsters and will not go to the people will be affected by land use changes (or not make land use changes). On top of that it makes no sense that you are going to take a flight once so now some indigenous people have to refrain cutting down a forest forever.

There isn't going to be an effective market in carbon offsets until they are limited to things where you can attach a meter to a pipe going into the ground. Effective carbon credits are going to cost $70-$100 per tonne, but nobody will buy them until much cheaper junk carbon credits are removed from the market.
Sad to see the viewpoints of so many people framing this as "helping Kenya" or "They took the job, so it's worth it to them". I can assure you OpenAI did not have a charity meeting and say, "what poor, impoverished country can we lift up today?" It was "What country has limited labor laws, no unions, no red tape, and the cheapest labor we can find?" 99.99% of corporations put profit above people. That's why we still "benefit" from child labor and sweatshops, because we prefer cheap crap and money over the betterment of humanity. The same arguments given here were also given by coal miners in 1840's Europe[1],[2] when employing women and children, along the lines of "oh the children love it, they even get to see horses!" (and indeed, the children did show up to work every day, so why make a fuss?)

That last link (the book) is a fantastic literature review, but every chapter basically concludes that despite some results going each way, there is no statistically significant readability difference between sans serif and serif typefaces, whether on paper or on screen, or whether the reader has various disabilities.
For one humanity massively increased air pollution in the middle of last century since then discussions (which existed before as well) became more.

Also understanding of problems caused by this and availability of alternatives increased.

We can see how life expectancy improved in areas where pollution was reduced.

In the end you could mind the survivorship bias. Sure, people survived through the past, but many had earlier death due to pollution.
And humans don't just produce CO2. They shed everything from dust to viruses.

Really, humans are the health concern we should be paying more attention to.
