I built my own OpenAI compatible alternative, https://text-generator.io to help with that pricey ness. Also self hostable which helps people cut costs.

It also analyses linked web pages and image content automatically so helps people build these web integrations or auto img alt tag describers or reiept analysers etc without doing as much of the prompt engineering/crawling themselves.
Devs are the 'product' on LinkedIn, I think this could be possible. It could make sense de-rank "inactive" profiles in recruiter searchers to better connect recruiters to candidates that will engage.

I could also see LinkedIn tweaking the algorithm to respond to the changing labor market. When the labor market is tight, get the recruiters any dev profile that meets their criteria, even if it's unlikely to engage. When the power shifts to the employer, it could make sense to de-rank inactive profiles and focus on getting recruiters in-touch with candidates that will engage.

As a side note, I know that LinkedIn gives me a lot more engagement when I engage with other people's content, and it gives me less engagement when I don't engage with my feed.
Of course, if Tether collapses, there is the sizable risk that so will most of the exchanges. Counterparty risk is a big deal.
If the AI is actually intelligent, what it would say about most meetings is "this meeting should not be held."
I'll even go one more step and say that Ive been in places where candidates were interviewed and "not liked" because some of the more senior devs in the place felt outshined/threatened by the candidates credentials and ability.

These same candidates were great when I interviewed them but when I said yes to a person, there were usually a hand full of people on the team who didn't like them for various "not enough blah blah probably can't do the work we do here" etc.

These same people tended to have no objections to hiring candidates with more marginal credentials and talent.

In the case Im referring to, the engineers absolutely did understand quality and didn't want it around, instead favoring lower quality such that they could remain unchallenged. I wonder how common this is in the world.
Does Apple's 30% cut of all app store payments count as "services revenue"? If so, quite a bit comes from sketchy loot box games (though certainly not all)
I don’t think that was ever a thing outside the US. Seems consequently like a weird and distorted perspective to me.
There are plenty of green bubbles, but thats a zero sum game you're talking about.
Maybe I am just brilliant but this has been obvious to me the whole time. Advertisement and the 'need' to market to groups results in reifying those groups in the population. The more the marketing works, the more the groups actually become differentiated, and it creates a positive feedback loop.
I understand it.
Seems like the shares have only given back today's gains so (for now) I guess the market isn't too concerned. China coming back online should help with the supply chain issues.
Because the original comment said “most” and not “more”.
I see some truth to your point, but it's also very reductive, and you're providing nothing to back up your reductionism.

The "turn to the west" is geopolitical but it's also a turn away from a conservative authoritarian order and toward a liberal democratic order. Is that just a meaningless geopolitical coincidence? No, it's clearly part of the equation, though certainly not the only part.
Another benign explanation: all the recruiters have been laid off.
Apple is allowed to collect the 15-30%. No one including EU or US has said otherwise.

And what happened in Netherlands with the dating apps underscores this.

What will happen instead is that there will be other stores/payment methods and Apple will simply bill them instead using the telemetry it has around which apps are being launched. And what those stores will find is that its an unprofitable and unenjoyable business to run and the status quo will largely remain the same.
I'd like to see a comparison with codec2 https://www.rowetel.com/wordpress/?page_id=452
Apple has a pretty good parental control system called “Ask to Buy” where the kids can’t make any purchases in the App Store without the permission of the ”family organizer”.
> Today you can't hope to make it through a middle class family life without both parents working, and prices of food, housing, energy all represent that.

It's primarily the cost of housing that necessitates two earner households. Yes, food is up a good bit in the last couple of years, but food & energy are pretty small when compared to cost of housing. Some of high housing costs are on loose monetary policy and some on restrictive zoning.

Do you have some charts that show that correlation over the whole (or partial) history of tether?

I have trouble even noticing tether on long term bitcoin charts.

They can sue all they want, but they don’t have a leg to stand on. There is no right to demand be ranked highly or even at all.
In theory you could have some sort of multi head or rasterizing system scan every bit of the tape and construct a 2D map of the magnetization. It would have to be 2D because many tape formats have multiple tracks, not even in parallel. But decoding that data would be a nightmare that made optical character recognition look like child's play.

I personally doubt the mimetic explanation is the explanation they gave to themselves, which is the one I'm more interested in (even if the mimetic explanation is the most likely root cause).

Reflecting on it, maybe one explanation is that the alternative to a layoff would have been slamming the breaks on their (very complicated!) hiring apparatus so hard, and for so long, that it had the potential of grinding to a halt and rusting.

Maybe, they judged that the long-term cost of a layoff was less than the long-term cost of a completely impotent hiring system. IDK.
That's why I've said should, not must. There's no cosmic exile and all the knowledge that we have is yet limited.
I thought the same exact thing upon listening to #23. It's pretty obviously using elements from it IMO, even though it's layering and warping them. Hard to prove though...
Conservatism is also constantly evolving in practice - it just labels whatever its current dogma as "traditional values" regardless of historicity. The political history of abortion in US, and especially and attitudes towards it by the Republicans, is one spectacular example. Welfare is another - e.g. how many people are aware that Nixon of all people tried to pass UBI? (https://thecorrespondent.com/4503/the-bizarre-tale-of-presid...)
> Most valuable takeaway is that you can read almost _anything_ directly or in translation. You don't need to read a summary of Hegel, you can read Hegel. You don't need to read an article about a Supreme Court case like Marbury v. Madison, you can read the case itself.

I think what's under-appreciated is that, a fair amount of the time, for these sorts of enduring classics, reading the original is both better and easier than reading later takes on the same material. If you read the later derivative works and go back, often you'll find they've misinterpreted certain parts in strange ways, or left out things that seem important, and the original is not-uncommonly also both an easier and more entertaining read.
I do this already, all without the help of a plug-in. Normally, I just start typing in the chat that I'm having audio trouble so we can take the conversation off-line where the question asker just ends up repeating it anyway.

This same reasoning could be expanded to include using any product from any company. There is always a chance that a component will be discontinued, priced out, etc. Definitely need to analyze risk vs reward when using another companies product. However, in my opinion, a free API represents a substantially increased risk unless that free API constitutes a major portion of the business. For example, using an Azure API is probably fairly safe while using an API to gather data on FPS Multiplayer Game X match stats may not be.
Sure, but the common sense I (and I think I can safely say the compiler writers) are applying is "when the spec says 'the program might do anything', then there is no meaningful difference to the user whether or not we guarantee that everything up to that point was executed correctly". Who cares whether we transferred money from account A to account B when the program is then going to transfer 5 times as much from account B to account A and gift our competitor half of our money while it's at it.

I'm not sure if I agree with your interpretation of the spec, but even if that's the technically correct interpretation, arguing that things went wrong because the compiler miscompiled the program and that it didn't do the things it was supposed to before it was allowed to do literally anything... just isn't an interesting argument. Things went wrong because your program was wrong.
The app offered this option for me. Are you on the latest version?
Tether prevails because betting against tether is not profitable. It could be, but the people you could bet against would go bankrupt if tether collapsed so you'd have no way to collect on your winning bet.

No doubt about that. DF have very commited player base.
Not "why might it be used as a dog whistle" (meme: "The kids book of why everyone I disagree with is just as bad as Hitler"), but specifically in the context of "why might a German convention ban this thing".
Likewise the classic “racist bans affect Republicans disproportionately because more racists are Republican”.
I don't think we're anywhere close to actual AI that could do those things.
Of course, but one must acknowledge that past growth is a large (often, dominating) contributing factor to future growth.

But that's part of my question: what did they predict that merited a layoff, when their cost structure wasn't ballooning out of control, and which made the alternative of maintaining a hiring freeze throughout 2023 insufficient?
Even if the pressure does not change, the temperature definitely does. Currently, cold water is basically icecubes blasting out the shower head. Warm/hot water, on the other hand, is sometimes affected by a heat exchanger (district heating) malfunction.
If the company is trying to add diversity to a team they might be looking to fill more spots of x gender, race or disability. If you don't fit that gap then it probably doesn't matter if answer or not. Not that they will pass you up if you don't fill that criteria. Imagine if your company is getting bad press because you have a 90% male work force. There will be pressure to hire any good non male candidates.
There's Apple Arcade.
Yeah but now you made tuning the PID parameters your day job =(
I think most people agree with you that Google can beat OpenAI on the eng/tech. Scary part for Google is: how do you monetize it? They might “beat” OpenAI with a better chat AI, but if that cannibalizes their $100bn search ad business…they are in trouble

Rather than engaging in illegal activities? Heck, several countries have tourist hunting industries! (The tourists do the hunting, not hunting the tourists)
You're right. However, the Biden administration is now on-record stating that iPhones need more app competition[0] and sideloading will happen in the EU regardless.

The hammer is dropping, just not in a very exciting fashion. The fun part comes when Apple is forced to implement something that complies with EU regulators and pleases the US Department of Commerce.

Erlang, actually; and they're still using it -- here's a paper-abstract[0] from Sept.2022 (and video of a talk[1]) about their open-source "EqWAlizer" tool[2] for statically-typing Erlang (as-is).

(EqWAlizer was discussed on an Erlang-related podcast[3], including its relationship to Dialyzer -- the original Erlang type-checking tool -- and it was briefly discussed on HN[4]).

How am I blaming the victim? I am simply pointing out that language can indicate bias without necessarily being biased itself.

I am guessing that if we applied a similar model to Russian and English, the model would indicate there is an inherent bias against the west in Russian and a bias against Russia in English. That is all were seeing here. It isn't actually indicating anything about the language. It is telling us about who uses the language and how they use it.

Words, phrases, and linguistic approaches that are generally coded as conservative will be more likely to denigrate liberals and vice versa. Conservative speech will be more likely to be flagged for hate speech because conservatives by and large care less about being PC. It is important to reiterate that does not mean conservatives are necessarily any more racist. Their speech just correlates more with racists speech because less effort is put into avoiding that correlation.
> Why would paying customers quit?

A small-but-meaningful number of 'paying customers' aren't themselves users. They are paying the subscription price for the value of community peace, not any specific content.

For example: I pay for a Netflix account. I never use it anymore (since Netflix keeps killing the only shows they made that I liked), but my kids use it sporatically-but-heavily. (i.e., maybe one or two hours per day 4-ish days a week, but all at once). If Netflix makes it break for my kids (like they're threatening to) then I might as well cancel it anyway, it's worthless for those 'kid tv breaks' now.

It sounds like a small-but-not-trivial percent of Netflix subscriptions are something like mine (paying to keep other people happy, paying to prevent people from bothering them, not to watch any specific show/movie). And Netflix is playing in the "fuck around" part of "fuck around and find out".
I do not understand your comment. Could you write legible arguments and tone down the cynicism and sarcasm?
They'll have to dip their finger into that sweet ad revenue at some point to sate the shareholder's hunger for growth. Ads are already leaking out of the app store into apple news and the stocks app.

> Fortran programs usually still beat C on benchmarks.

Sure... for the kinds of programs that were written in Fortran, which tended to be math-heavy. But nobody wanted to write text-processing programs in Fortran, or parsers, or operating systems, or memory managers. (I mean, seriously, think about writing "grep" in Fortran. You might be able to do it, but C, for all its flaws, is still a far better tool for that kind of task.)

Pascal... better grammar. Horrible to actually use, though, at least before the Turbo Pascal extensions. Text processing was incredibly painful, because there was no such thing as a variable-length string, which was a crippling limitation. I/O was also pretty broken. It was very much not better than C.

Neither Fortran nor Pascal would straight-up win against C for general-purpose programming, still less for system programming.

Funny enough part of the Defund the police push essentially was implying social workers were the answer (granted more about mental health than child protection services). Still, the point is it seems every agency has their knee to the neck of americans so to speak.

Yup. "Commercial paper" claimed by Tether as backing of their token was long known to just be IOUs from various buddies of the scam company that runs it (online poker cheat, child molester and proven fraudster if I remember right).

I don't know that adjusted costs of individual research projects are going to be informative, if that's what you're looking for -- they are apples and oranges between the research of today and in the past. You may be able to find historical data on total R&D spending, either in (adjusted) currency or as a percentage of GDP. Check out the NSF research reports e.g. https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsb20221.

Set A: A representative sample of jokes and stereotypes about black people found on the internet

Set B: A representative sample of jokes and stereotypes about Scandinavians found on the internet

Why on earth would its prior for "stereotypical Scandinavian" being potentially hateful be the same as for "stereotypical Black person"?

(And that's before you get into a model likely being deep enough to also draw inferences from the prevalence and content of material about the existence and impact of hatred of black people and Scandinavians respectively...)
The argument conservatives provide is the idea that they're overly censored on platforms; how permissively they're spoken of (hatefully or otherwise) is unrelated. If anything, it's in alignment to their ideology, not against it.

But let's say what you're claiming is true for a moment. Political ideology shouldn't have been included with race, gender, and religion anyway; it's perfectly acceptable to discriminate against someone based on their political affiliation, as it's 100% a choice, where as disability, race, gender, and religion are not.
