I worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory back in 2010. There we very nice perks that I noticed immediately,

* access to large interesting tools and projects

* Big big budgets that often take good long looks at their decision long term making

* Generally very smart people around and interesting community events unlike working at a corporation.

* Perks and benefits well above and beyond working at corporations (often in lieu of higher pay that corps would offer)

I worked on the LHC and RHIC projects on the data processing side and it was pretty great. The laboratory itself was very run-down and not maintained well in many areas. Conversely because you're often shortstaffed you get enormous opportunities to play with various aspects of technology and head up interesting projects.

Day to day it was a lot of coffee breaks and discussions about where to go for lunch that day. There's a 'hurried' aspect that probably exists at one of the FAANG's.

Last bit of advice, most labs are either DOD or DOE managed facilities that are often managed by a large consortium, in BNL's case it was Battelle. They are often run this way to keep workers from being Federal workers with more rights and perks. Different labs are run by different consortium's, something to be aware of.

Yep, that's exactly what I did. There's still one or two addons I've come across that weren't enabled, but it's far better than the official Firefox.
The author uses an FPGA, which is notoriously hard to program for. In the recent years, microcontrollers have become more and more capable: for example the Raspberry Pi Pico costs about 4 USD and can run at 250MHz and up. Thanks to PIO (programmable IO), which is basically a small programmable state machine running on the IO pins, it's possible to use this for voltage glitching attacks.

I might be too new to this area -- but is this actually explaining how to create like a small version of the actual trained model -- not like "using the trained model for X"? like I can imagine in the future people won't start from pure scratch, there will be building blocks that everybody starts from, but mostly just wondering like how hard is it to actually replicate what openAI has done if you had the money to pay for the training?
A great way to passively improve for >= B1/2 level is to listen to English-language podcasts (or whatever other language you want to learn). It doesn't matter if you actually pay attention or care about the subject matter - the point is to program your "lizard brain" as to what native pronunciation sounds like for different words, the part of your brain that works when you're speaking without thinking about it.

Of course, it won't magically make your pronunciation perfect, but it will help your "speaking without thinking" pronunciation and it's Easy to do
Oh ChatGPT, what a nightmare you’re going to turn grading papers into for teachers.
I don't think that's a reasonable interpretation considering the next line is: "He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself"

That's wild. Why is ad buying such a mess? Google's setup felt extremely outdated last I had to work with it. Is it just largely ignored because it's assumed that most buyers will work with some agency / platform that will integrate with the API and provide a better UI?

But more seriously, I don't think there's a substitute for talking to lots of people. I'd probably avoid looking for a "neurodiverse" candidate so much as looking for a person who fits extremely well to the problem and your missing pieces. Maybe that's someone who's "neurodiverse", maybe that's not, but IMO there's no substitute for talking to a lot of people in the space you're trying to enter.

Yepp. Ive been an active Reddit user for around 12 years. I browsed on desktop for a few years and then switched to mobile and never looked back. The communities I engage with just don’t require a full keyboard/mouse setup for me to get value from them.

If Apollo stops working, then I assume the other 3rd party apps would also be disabled so then I’m out. I’m a bit too young to have been active during RSS and and IRC days, but I’m exploring what a modern version of that experience looks like in case Reddit goes kaput.
I have taken the time to comment on the pull request before it was merged. I have mentioned several use cases, and offered an explanation for why the feature is important. If that is not enough for you and for Mozilla engineers, then perhaps the correct response is to simply abandon their platform. I've done my part, and I'm not going to further sacrifice my free time because some people have no concern about how their actions affect other people's lives.

It's certain that 2 years from now extension developers will still be getting support requests and receive negative reviews because of that commit, even if an alternative API is released in the next few months. But who cares, it's not you who has to find a solution and deal with users.

All of this could have been averted by simply offering an alternative API in the same browser version in which the new restriction was implemented. There was no pressing need to immediately restrict the API.

> Disallowing the modification of Access-Control-Allow-* response headers will impact extensions that need to download page content.

> Search by Image sets CORS headers for some images in order to download them from the content script before uploading to a search engine. In many cases an asset will only be served if the request contains the correct origin, referrer and cookies. Reproducing such a fetch request was impossible from a background page last time I tested, and even if configuring all aspects of a request becomes possible, it could still open up extensions to security issues, because it's difficult to figure out if certain data types would be sent by the browser if the request would be made from the page context, such as the referrer. We would also need to request additional permissions, such as access to HTTP cookies.

> Extensions used for archiving pages would no longer be able to create faithful representations of the tab content. Advanced ad blockers such as uBlock Origin would be impacted as well. There is a general issue of extensions not being able to access certain parts of the page, such as a tainted canvas in Chrome, or a closed shadow DOM in Safari, and this restriction would make the problem worse.

I didn't say he was an incompetent buffoon, you did. I think it's more true than not, but those are your words, not mine. I said only that he was frequently certain while being wrong.

When he makes a pronouncement and then reverses that pronouncement, one or the other was incontrovertibly wrong. Whether he was wrong first and right later, or right first and wrong later, the list of reversals at twitter is a long one, starting before he bought the company.

He tendered an offer that skipped due diligence, then attempted to avoid doing what he'd agree to do, invoking the due diligence he'd explicitly skipped in the process. Then they day before he would have to open up his financial records in court, he reversed his reversal and closed the deal. Since then he's stated multiple times he regrets buying twitter.

However many times you count him being certain-but-wrong in that story, it's more than zero, despite the financial success of his unrelated companies, and despite your unwarranted personal insults.

I won't say I'm not, but I will say it's probably a bad fit if you are in the US and a developer. It's a marketing agency that also does some custom WordPress development. For US based developers it's a combination of doesn't pay awesome + PHP rather than the latest shiny thing. Our hiring focus is mostly either outside of the US, or if in the US on people who've already gotten their bag from elsewhere and are more interested in chill work than a big paycheck. We win them over not with total compensation but with things like ability to only work 20 hours a week or leeway to rabbit hole down some interesting bit of code or try out a new marketing tactic that goes well beyond what the customers budget would normally allow, merely because it scratches an itch.
So they say better-trained AIs both more liberal, and more conservative...

"why are better-trained AIs both more liberal, and more conservative?
The authors speculate that the AI tries to say whatever it thinks the human prompter wants to hear. That is, a conservative might find conservative opinions more “helpful”, and a liberal might find the opposite. The AI will get the highest grade if it expresses conservative opinions to conservatives and liberal opinions to liberals.
They dub this “sycophancy bias” and run tests for it."
I think fixing as in "removing and replacing" is indeed impossible, but defining a new convention and making alternative names for the same function would work fine.

Let's say the new convention is that functions are named str_*(), then keep strpos(), but create a new one called str_pos() that is the same, and mark the old one as deprecated (but don't remove it).

I am sure there are edge cases where both str_* and str* exist already and do different things, but we can figure something out.
Weren't they saying they weren't going to use HD mapping at that point, that their cars just pick up the lay of the land and deal with anything, making their approach way more scalable than competitors?

LFP batteries can do 3k-10k cycles. Assuming a range of 500km per cycle out of an 100 kWh pack, that's 1.5 million km of total range (assuming 3k cycles). Only a small number of people will ever get that much out of a car - maybe 40% that, if maintained very very well. But we're talking Prius/Mercedes level endurance here, most cars won't make it that long. So in most cases, 70+% of the usable cycles in an LFP pack won't be done by the EV it was first installed in. Knowing that, selling cycles is actually a great way to offset purchase costs.

>So the problem doesn't seem to be the students but use of grading as a system of measuring the progress of students who are on a research-heavy track of study

It can be a tricky problem. In more academic fields, I think there's a tendency to not weight grades very heavily in graduate applications, instead focusing on undergraduate research, recommendations, connections to research in your department (obviously, a research group directly wanting a student, and having funding for one, is all but a guarantee of admission), and maybe courses taken. Unlike for undergraduate applications, you'll often have few enough applications after filtering out obviously-unsuitable applicants that you can have discussions about specific individuals, and there will often be enough information about them as individuals that you can make decisions based on that, rather than grades.

But at the same time, at least in the physics programs I was involved in, I got the sense that out of concern for grades potentially affecting futures or discouraging comfort with uncertainty and exploration, once classes were at a point where everyone was probably going to be going to graduate school, many ended up being de facto pass-fail: for the most part, everyone who showed a good understanding of the material would be given an A, and everyone who didn't would get a tap on the shoulder at some point and a suggestion that the professor would do whatever was necessary to let them drop (usually far past the ordinary drop deadline). I also recall that, for example, Kip Thorne simply refused to teach classes that were not pass-fail.
> Its origin on the internet was tightly bound to the "Honkler" meme, which was a neo-Nazi dogwhistle so thinly veiled that it was only denied by people with "1488" in their usernames. There was essentially no real attempt to try and present it as something else.

> Is spreading a neo-Nazi dogwhistle really a good push back against anti-racism?

lol, I have to admit, assuming you are right, I wasn't aware of the origin of the term "clown world". I guess I shouldn't use that term, then.

To be clear, I was trying to refer to the leftist ideology taken to an extreme, such that you try to be so anti-racist that you become racist yourself (against whites, for example).

Or you try to be so anti-sexist, that you become sexist (against men).

Or that you are no longer allowed to use any word whatsoever because every word offends some snowflake of an individual.

And also, of course, other extreme examples of behavior where it's clear that you're no longer contributing to a solution, but rather creating a new problem.

There are many such recent examples of this kind of non-sense.
Oh, it does. It just happened back when Python and Ruby were new and hot. These days, Rust is new and hot, and so ...

Can't you just acknowledge that the GP just have a significantly different experience from yours? It's disappointing that you seem to just ignore everything that the GP said, with the explicit acknowledgement that it was just their personal opinion, and just rammed another comment without understanding it?

I will just ignore your thick-headed comment from this point, it's clear that you're not arguing in good faith.
I like that he pays attention to big picture stuff like demographics, and has been pointing out for a long time that china's population will fall, which we now see that it is. But he goes too far and makes such confident, dramatic predictions that I find hard to take seriously. He seems to think that populations like China will simply disappear with a couple of decades, like they can't just start having more children at some point? Why not? A lot of his predictions are based on the idea that the US will stop guaranteeing global marine trade. This hasn't happened, there's no indication that it's going to happen, and I don't think I've seen a justification for it at all, but he talks still as if it's going to happen any day now. Still overall an interesting and entertaining thinker, I watch his YouTube channel.

Not inappropriate - but no not currently. We're a Marketing agency that also does custom WordPress dev. We're working towards diversifying a bit by also launching some internally owned monetized content sites or small software products (such as a useful paid plugin for WordPress) but that's about it at the moment.
I absolutely despise how easily a lot of people on HN who were (justifiably) mocking the whole "think of the kids" (Patriot Act and many previous online censorhip attempts come to mind) can be baited into doing a full 180 and using variations of the exact same excuse to do the exact same thing.
I'm confused, do you have issue with the word "commonest"?

The American Heritage dictionary gives the positive, comparative, and superlative forms as common, commoner, and commonest.

What's the mistake?
I worked at something like this. It was an interesting experience but I'm ultimately sour on the idea after it.

We would have 'idea meetings' and decide to make a startup. Then we'd recruit founders preferably from the industry we wanted to make a startup around. And then we'd group those few people together with a developer hired by the incubator to launch a (most of the time SaaS) business.

This went on for a quite a while and I think they still exist but without any big successes or much of any success. But that was alright, they explain, as most startups fail anyway. I think their biggest success was from investment in a company that wasn't created by them.

So the big failings with the model I found were this:

1. Idea meetings by experts in 'startups' - whatever that is - does not often find good product ideas. They just follow on whatever is popular so they find themselves in an inevitably crowded market.

2. The startup incubator had more interest and more control of the companies than the puppet founders which lead to odd dynamics. The founders recruited were, in a way, working for the incubator and not their own company. There seemed to be a lot of 'playing house'.

I think the model attracted people from all sides that just wanted to be in the startup culture for its own sake. They weren't hungry to make the thing they were making. They were hungry to participate in startupism.
I'd adjust this and say the execs believe that, so they do it, whether or not it's true.

I seriously doubt these layoffs are from actual, measurable consumer responses.

You never know, do you, if "the marginal benefit meets or exceeds the benefit of doing something different"? You can't ever nail that down to a degree of accuracy that'd actually be pluggable into a formula (bayesian analysis users have a real hard time applying credible intervals IMO), so you have to guess, and the article's point (IMO) is that many people guess too conservatively to reality, that more often than is intuitive there's a larger benefit of moving on than in sticking with the familiar, and it happens earlier than is intuitive.

The OP is in part a reflection on the sunset of the Go Gorilla package. The blog post about that which it links to at the end is very much worth a read (I didn't know about it, or the fate of the Gorilla package, before getting linked to it here), and I'd actually love to see an HN thread about THAT one!

https://onengineering.substack.com/p/there-is-no-secure-soft...

Looks like that's been submitted to HN, but never got traction.

It has the somewhat misleading title "There is no secure software supply-chain," which probably didn't help it's HN votes on previous submissions. It's really about the maintainers deciding to sunset Gorilla, in the context of that being a good idea to prevent it from becoming an insecure untrustworthy dependency, but more than that too. I found it a very thought-provoking read, and would love to hear others responses to it, including folks from Go community but also on the general issues.
Even if there's nothing morally wrong with it, not agreeing will make their numbers look worse, with might encourage them to build more of their own renewable generation. So it's also a way of encouraging more renewables.
I agree that workers strike/slaughterhouse/intimidation of scabs && prolife/abortion clinic/patients are better examples to debate.

I think the vulnerability of patients at an abortion clinic is an important factor. But I also think a similar argument could made for ‘scabs’.

I worked four 8 hour days a week for 17 years. I feel that the quality of my life living a 4 day work week was greatly improved over that living a standard 5 day 8 hour week.

UT Austin can be in the wrong. I'm just saying - simply because UT Austin banned TikTok doesn't mean they're doing it for censorship reasons. There could be other reasons...

I can't agree. Even viewed as a single film (Tolkien viewed LotR more as one big book, and the movies reflect that), in the 3:20 movie (3:10 before the "The End" screen) there's only 20 minutes between Frodo getting grabbed by the Eagle and that "The End" screen. I think the movie needed all of that 20 minutes of catharsis. I absolutely think the 9-10 hour trilogy as a whole needed that 20 minutes.

The math looks even better with the extended editions, where that 20 minute ending is only about 22 minutes, where the single movie is an hour longer, and the trilogy is ~3 longer.
