Amazon has historically said that they don't care about their stock price.

The losses in question are a mark-to-market loss on Rivian. If you look at their operational numbers they're mostly fine.

That's the problem with the lack of financial literacy. Is the loss a paper loss or a hard dollar loss? On a hard dollar basis amazon is doing great, for the most part. Most people don't know the difference, and most reporters for some odd reason don't either.

They'll use this "loss" to talk about how the end is nigh, etc. But that's really bullshit. The end isn't near for amazon.

You don't actually know how reliable nuclear power plants are in China. They tend to selectively report only stuff that paints them in good light (see COVID-19). Anything bad that is reported/ leaked from China is usually much worse in reality.

They allow anyone to submit to the repository with minimal vetting, and the package selection is inferior compared to Homebrew. Maybe we have different ideas about what "official" and "comprehensive" mean.

This is really cool to see. I don't have any problems or bugs using it, but it seems like the 3d rendering of the virtual hands is not quite as fast as the tracking itself. I wonder if and how this could be used in a meaningful way. As a feature for things like Google Quick Draw it would be fun.
But that does not take into account VC-powered startups, like Uber, which never turned profit in their history, so that 500k-1M compensations for ICs are directly financed by VC money, which is unsustainable. I think that's what GP meant: the "superpower" to raise VC money is waning, and Sillicon Valey unicorns need to start operating like any other company, hence the layoffs.

I have 18 years of experience as a developer, architect and tech lead. I'm a generalist. I've done backend, frontend, ML, devops and security among others. My mantra is to use the right tool for the job and I'm more than willing to learn new languages and tools.
My last position was the CTO (70% hands-on) for a start-up in the DSaaS space. I'm looking for a Software architect position or similar but I'm open to other opportunities.

My Turbo Pascal teacher in high school, he taught us all the ways of systems programming, provide me a path to learn about Object Pascal recently introduced in Turbo Pascal 5.5, that later made me get hold of Turbo Pascal 6 when it got released, improve that knowledge with Turbo Vision.

This experience taugh me the ways of systems programming without the perils of C (that I would discover later), while setting a baseline of what to expect from a programming language environment.
Wait, like, you don't understand, or you don't share their complaint? I don't really understand how you don't understand. If I make a change to ripgrep because I'm debugging its perf and need to therefore create a release build, it can take several seconds to rebuild. Compared to some other projects that probably sounds amazing, but it's still annoying enough to impact my flow state.

ripgrep is probably on the smallish side. It's not hard to get a lot bigger than that and have those incremental times also get correspondingly bigger.

And complaining about compile times doesn't mean compile times haven't improved.

The Fed wants to control inflation sure by raising interest rates. They see a strong labour market as a driver of inflation, as workers can negotiate higher wages when they are in shorter supply.

In terms of income equality, I don't think the OP was advocating that people should all be paid the same. Merely that lower paid workers would be in a strong position to gain relatively more, thus narrowing the gap. I don't know if that is true; it's merely what I understood from the post.

That is a good point globally.

UPS, FedEx and the US Postal Service are highly reliable in the US. They used to get their trucks stuck in our driveway (nothing a farmer with a floor jack can't fix) but now they leave packages at the end of our driveway and we bring them in, which keeps the service reliable for the rest of our route.

The USPS used to be faster to send letters. What I miss most of all is that there used to be a slot in our town's post office for letters to the nearest city that would go directly there for cost-effective overnight delivery. I liked getting a letter to my bank, or the county clerk that way. Now they send all the mail to Rochester where it is photographed by some machine which provides better tracking but worse speed.

Because of so-called “blasphemy”. I really don’t have any pity for corrupt nearly failed states like Pakistan…they’ve chosen to be backwards, corrupt, and poor with their decisions, and I say more power to them.
I don't think GPT is a con, it's doing exactly what it was trined to do. I think the problem is people put false confidence into it. Because it appears to give correct information, ChatGPT has been put on this pedestal by the non-tech world as being some revolution. In fact it's not a revolution, they just figured out how to build a chatbot that returns convincing statements that sounds human, correct information is not it's' strong suit, sounding smooth in a conversation is.
In the wake of Lastpass there were some criticism of Firefox's password storage security IIRC, might look into that before using sync for passwords.
It looks like you're sharing income distribution, not wealth.

This is a bit hard to parse - you might have to multiple the distributions by population and/or total national wealth to get household amounts: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/distr...

This is interesting, as it shows wealth inequality with a breakdown by educational attainment: https://www.stlouisfed.org/open-vault/2020/december/has-weal...

> To be in the top 10%, a family needed $1.22 million or more (slightly less than in 2016).

That's massive and good. Unexpected that country chose to do this big step.
Yeah it works great having toolchains that support all possible execution models.
Laying the Foundation for Extended Reality
More specifically for moonshot projects the funding is decided on the plan, the urgency of the problem and or the team. You have to have at least two of those three things on your side.
Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a neat bit of infrastructure. Well done for getting it done! I almost want to create a project as an excuse to use it ha ha! Also naming stuff is hard of course.

If you are technical, you will blame and upgrade or remove the bad driver. If you aren’t technical, your technical friend will just tell you to get a Mac.
He is saying that the "base code" / DNA which makes up the brain might be only 40MB (for example). Not that what eventually emerges from that (such as our memories and learned abilities) can be captured with just 40MB. It's similar to how the Game of Life can be implemented in just a few lines, but very complex behavior can emerge from that. The key is to find a sufficiently simple but general model from which intelligence equal to our own can emerge given sufficient training.
Ads were not only a different color, they were also limited to the margins of the page and did not appear in the list of search results.

As a matter of fact, when Google was the scrappy new underdog, they used to make fun of the legacy search engines for the practice of mixing ads into the list of search results.
Building Serverless Data Pipelines on Kinesis, Lambda, and S3
Hi HN, this is Substation, an open source data pipeline and transformation toolkit written in Go and built on AWS (serverless) that:

- Deploys modular, cloud native data pipelines that support 100s of unique designs

- Offers event-driven ingest, transform, and load (ITL) applications that evaluate, process, and deliver data in real-time

- Provides Go packages for creating custom data processing applications

We've recently released two new features that set it apart from other systems:

- Build and deploy synchronous or asynchronous microservices (https://substation.readme.io/docs/microservices)

- Store data in local or remote key-value databases at scale (https://substation.readme.io/docs/key-value-stores)

If you or your teams have streaming big data problems, then check it out! This is an affordable alternative to products like Cribl (with real-world savings of ~10x), easier to manage than other open-source projects such as Logstash and fluentd, and has been used in production for more than 2+ years.
I know this doesn't work because I typed in the Adam Friedland show and then the response I got back was all horrible comedy/cringe podcasts they would make fun of
This is actually great, one of the most promising recommendation algorithms I've come across.

I love that it's working by sound. So often eg Spotify will insist I check out other bands in the same "scene" or from the same era as other artists I like, and in genres as broad as "70s rock" it can be really tiring.

One of the first tracks I tried was Natural Woman by Carole King. I love that it recommended other slow but rhythmic piano vamps with tender vocals by artists singing in other languages, some modern, some old, as well as some sung by men. It even recommended me more Carole King which is I guess shows it's picking up on something constant in her music.

What impressed me was that it recommended quite a lot of numbers in the same key! It was funny clicking through them and the tonal centre being unchanged. It was like they really were different but the same.

It definitely doesn't understand everything about tonality though! I tried some atonal music next, Naama for solo harpsichord by Iannis Xenakis, expecting to get more atonality back. Nope, first result was very firmly tonal: "Suite in E flat major" by Bach for solo harpsichord. It definitely got some essential aspects of the pieces down but completely missed the central concepts underpinning their musicality.

Very promising like I say, can't wait to try more things out!

So you are mainly talking about passive income inequality?
I was talking about income that is earned.

Well, what do you want me to say: the country I live in we have a high tax on inheritance, capital gains etc.

But to me personally: I am grown up enough to not care how many Porsches my neighbor has. How does this matter? There are resources that cover basic needs such as health, living, education and food. But in Europe you get all that for free irrespective whether you work or not. Health coverage is as good for an unemployed family not speaking the language as it is for two full time working parents. As is schooling as is university.

Those silly governments, making sure the medical system was slowly whittled down from something that was once actually pretty good at taking care of it's citizens to a system that forced/required society to completely grind to a halt from a pandemic because of exterior motives (votes, profits, etc.)

Those silly large media/news companies, not being responsible and considering the results and after-effects of their always-online, constant fear-mongering instead of focusing on delivering factual information and minimizing sensationalism.

Governments and media worked together to cause this mass panic resulting in mass lockdowns and a failure of healthcare systems in the first world. The world should have been ready for this but governments were focusing on profits and ulterior motives over people.

It's a massive shame that so many children will have been mentally affected by the short-term and long-term damage of these relatively short but extremely harmful lockdowns - socially, mentally, and physically - not to mention all the adults whose lives have been irreparably changed by the inactions of their governments. "Society" should be ashamed of itself for causing so much harm but we're all too busy being distracted with perceived differences between each other and trying to survive with the after-effects of a mis-managed pandemic (inflation, food/supply shortages) still running rampant.

I hope when/if I have children that we don't have another pandemic - I don't want the government forcing my children to stay locked in their home from panicked officials and a broken healthcare system.

Me neither, the examples called out in the article have likely all been culled by now. I do have to wonder why entering ad keywords for names of popular software doesn't immediately flag for review though.
I suspect many adults play status games to fill voids in their own small lives. This is seen as a socially acceptable and laudable thing to do.

I loathe the fact that ambition is often filed down to one-dimensional idea of making lots of money, dominating others in the workplace, and generally succeeding in the business world. It's little wonder there's so many people are on anti-depressants.
Ah, the old social behaviour experiment. I like it. I might change my image to reflect that.
Good think with firefox is if an extension slow down a page, it'll tell you which extension to blame. I was having an issue with a page with a huge form loading super slow (10 minutes!) in chrome until I tried loading it on firefox and it told me that lastpass was the culprit.
You can add energy and defense to the list.

And regulated fields are a big market, not just the huge companies that work in this field (you can see a short list on the linked page), but also suppliers of these companies.
Linux package managers are not trustworthy. That is another case where everyone pretends that it is. Usually packages are created and updated by random people and can be pseudonymous.
I can't tell what is worse now: the sycophantic ChatGPT hype guys/gals who write articles "it's coming for all of our jerbs!", or articles like this one that deliberately misuse ChatGPT and then say "it's overhyped".

They're both missing the point.

Yes, ChatGPT can be tricked, confidently give wrong answers, but it is still ludicrously useful.

It is basically like having an incredibly smart engineer/scientists/philosopher/etc that can explain things quite well, but for pretty much every field. Does this "person" make mistakes? Can't cite their sources? Yeah this definitely happens (especially the sources thing), but when you're trying to understand something new and complex and you can't get the "gist" of it, ChatGPT does surprisingly well.

I've had it debug broken configs on my server and router (and explain to me why they were broken), help me practice a foreign language I've slowly been forgetting (hint: "I would like to practice $language, so let's have a conversation in $language where you only use very simple words." -> ChatGPT will obey), and help me understand how to use obscure software libraries that don't have much documentation online (e.g. Boost Yap, useful but with a dearth of blog / reddit posts about it).

Does it sometimes goof up? Yep, but it is such an incredibly useful tool nonetheless for the messy process of learning something new.

Yes, that's true. But ChatGPT isn't trained to play any language game other than: "make a plausible sounding sentence".

The issue it has with facts is the same issue it'll have with any language game, in that it only understands how to mimic playing the game, without understanding the underlying rules of the game.
Yeah I'm not above some status games, but I think I'm more conscious of when they matter v. not, and their actual tangible benefits on my life (i.e. promotion = money or new opportunities open professionally).
"Nurishment" cans, often found in the foreign foods aisle, still use the old style ring pull.

I'd guess it's because they are intended to be drunk like a soda can, but packaged in a tinned-sweetcorn style can. Those cans are unpressurized, use steel, and have significantly thicker walls (= more material cost)

I do wonder why they never decided to switch over? Perhaps they consider it part of the brand? Perhaps they still run the same canning factory for decades and without expanding sales don't see a need to retool? Perhaps the 2 pence per 1.50 product are insignificant when they have quite a market niche.
This is an important point. The title is implying not just correlation but causation. Often financial news articles are phrased differently to avoid this, for example using something like "amid strong US jobs report". Sounds pedantic but it's a subtly pernicious thing.
I'm finding the analytic-synthetic distinction to be somewhat useful, even if it veers in important ways from how these terms were defined and used by Kant/Frege/Quine, etc.

Roughly, if the prompt is "analytic", that is contains all the necessary facts for the expected output, then the tool is much more reliable.

If the prompt is "synthetic", that is it contingent on outside facts, then the tool is much less reliable.
We also have to import the "physics" package, so maybe it requires more than the estimated 40mb after all.
I think ultimately the car manufacturer has to take some blame for selling you a car with a faulty component, even if the component came from someone else. I’m not going to become an expert in automotive supply chains and figure out gazillions of different components that must be used to make the car.
I’m not on either team; I get flack from both. These people were patently not doing anything reprehensible, which is the whole point. Specifically, they were transparently fired/harassed/etc for deviating from the party line.
> This seems like more management by manchild.

You have good points and can probably make them without resorting to insults.
I am not sure that this works very well. I put in "BibleProject" and "Alastair's Adversaria" which are both Christian Theology podcasts, and I got back "Erotic Short Stories: Read by Mia Hart" as the top result which... I just doubt that's a similar podcast.
Inflation (but not hyperinflation) benefits people in debt, and hurts people with savings. Is having savings nowadays considered intrinsically less moral or something?

Inflation targeting of, say, 2%, is the balance that takes into account the sometimes competing interests of all these groups (savers, borrowers, wage earners, people who live off investments, etc). Deviation into either direction causes long-term structural problems.
> He seems to ignore a lot about what the living conditions for people were throughout history, and have a blind trust in the positive power of 'human progress'.

Eh? A contender for the most self-contradictory sentence I've ever read ;) The best reason to believe in positive power of "human progress" is, specifically, not ignoring "what the living conditions for people were throughout history".
This! The most striking thing about many of Musk's changes at Twitter isn't the idea behind the change but the appallingly bad execution. Things get rolled out practically over night with no explanation or warning. Same with the unannounced policy changes a few weeks ago. It's as if he'd not only never run a company, but never even worked at one. It feels like the intern is running the ship.

Cloudflare has gotten incredibly bad lately. If you don't want to offer your services to someone that's fine but you should at least do the bare minimum and reach out before completely terminating a vital piece of infrastructure they rely on.
