well yes and no. This AI would be more street-smart than GPT but only because it would grasp the concept of what "danger" actually is!

I think of it more in a way that learning is more abstract than fact learning. From experience, we think that there are fact learners and principle learners but there are also a mixtures of the two!

The general accepted model entails that in order to do high level math, for instance, you need to understand the basics, but for me much of those concept actually clicked in college. This did not stop me from applying them with success a lot earlier though. For instance multiplication in Kindergarten is fact learning too!

In Germany we also have the term "Fachidioten", which loosely translates to people that are so smart in their field, that they are unable to see problems from different directions. This is more of less what i think a mega gtp model turns into. especially because of selection bias in the training data.

Validity of output (truth) can only be achieved through the trust of the source which is always relative to the context of the topic. Henceforth a selectively trained model will always return the data you feed it including all biases. Even if you have it crawl all of the internet and the library of Alexandria and every written word on the planed you can find, it will still return to you the general accepted consensus.
For career it was Colt Steele’s Web Development bootcamp on Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

It showed me that I could build and program things without learning C++ (or Objective C) and from more of the visual side, not just terminal “hello world” apps.

I’ve started a channel where I talk about ways I failed to learn programming and how I eventually learned programming later in life: Why I failed at learning to code

How old are you? I went to a posh boarding school in the early 2000s and there were many things wrong with it, but it wasn't nearly as brutal as you describe. Other pupils did unpleasant things to me (and I to them) but it was mostly just testosterone-fueled adolescent stupidity that I'm sure happens at less privileged schools too.

I imagine things were worse in the past though, see e.g. the notorious practice of "fagging" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagging
What's interesting is it was Bezos who made these large, pandemic driven investments. All of this, including the Rivian investment, was under his watch. And now it falls to Jassy to clean up the mess and take the heat.
Ask HN: Advice to become a better Software Engineer (transferred from Hardware)
I'm in a bit of a unique (and lucky!) situation -- my company was acquired by a large FAANG(software company). I'm going to stay for a couple years. My background is in robotics / mechatronics (PhD), so while I can write code I'm not a traditional SWE.

However, they had me do an "evidence based" ladder transfer to SWE, and we used firmware that I wrote (in production) as the evidence. I'm currently at Senior Staff level, so I'm primarily managing SWEs who do most of the coding / checking in code these days.

Any advice on how I could use my position to become a better programmer / learn skills for my next startup? I have a decent signal processing background, proficient in python, and can do stuff in C (can hack stuff in C++). I've been learning some swift for IOS.

At this point I'm pretty sure I'd fail any classical SWE / Leetcode interview, but I don't even know if that would be expected of me in the future. Definitely not if I do another company...

Maybe spend time getting better at UI / UX design? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'd like to learn whatever I can while I'm at this company...they can also pay for classes. Thanks!
This idiot would love it explained to me as well.

Creative destruction (see https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/creativedestruction.asp) is a core to the United States

The problems are the generational suffering that occurs with said creative destruction: There's no incentive to distribute or share out wealth and the results are brutal.

On your point: Note that in the US there's a separation of technical and engineering prowess (MIT, Caltech, ...) and power players (Yale, Harvard). It's almost like our system doesn't want our best engineers thinking about consequences or seeing what the political and wealthy are really like.

"Amazon just sent me an email pleading me to renew my Prime subscription, boasting about somebody, somewhere gets 1-day shipping for some item sometime but they are dead to me because 2-day shipping disappeared 2 years ago for me. No way am I going to pay for a subscription to get service that is worse than what I get from other retailed. (E.g. I ordered a game from GameStop on Saturday, it was postmarked an hour later.)"

This might work for you and people in cities but as you get to other areas what you want might take longer than 2 days to arrive.
Which logic?

It's always a matter of availability, balance, justification, right. The justification is there, so your argument is a strawman.

It would be more relevant in a direct comparison to gun control, which. Blades are fairly easy to furnish on the spot, easier than guns, so this comparison fails, too.

Balance requires a need for knives, which is difficult to put aside and certainly not the point of this argument. The ball park figure alone is not making a rational argument.

The internet is not the breaking point either way, though it could be used to implement access control.

So, I am effectively unsure if your whatabout'ish strawman is in favour of intrusive regulation.
Teams at every single AWS customer, big and small, have probably spent the last quarter finding and ending wasteful, forgotten spend lurking in their cloud footprint in a desperate attempt to prove to their MBAs that they shouldn't be in the next round of layoffs because they just saved the company 10x their salary in cloud spend.

Given this line of thought, why doesn't Firefox put every single icon from the menu on the toolbar. Since there is so much space. My argument is that since those buttons are rarely used, they should be unobtrusive.

Looking at my toolbar now, I really don't think they are that small. Just the right size.

The Risks of Moving Too Quickly with Serverless Development
> I was having trouble loading GMail in Chrome

You should avoid using GMail. Messages sent from and to GMail addresses are occasionally copied to the US government, and analyzed and possibly copied by various commercial companies who pay Google/Alphabet for the privilege. (You should also encourage your friends to stop using GMail).

Also, regardless of whether it's GMail or not - use an email client. GMail and all other email providers suppose access using the IMAP and/or POP3 protocols. That (mostly) guarantees no ads, and is much faster.

As for Firefox - Mozilla has decided to block extensions' access to most APIs and limit them only to a "WebExtensions" API (even though Mozilla's internal UI code is basically just like an extension, i.e. they don't _have_ to do this.) So, FF is only partially customizable and manipulable, and the extension ecosystem is somewhat stunted. I use FF, but let's not go overboard with the praise.

I'm not sure how that'd be the worst. It'd just mean that we incentivize mostly addressible loads (eg, car charging) to be done during the afternoon instead of at night.

And as others have pointed out, we already have high loads in those hours anyway during the summer.

Heat buildup cause a lot of noise to appear in the image.

New cameras are overcoming this with fans. Look at the just realeased Sony fx30 or the Panasonic S5ii. Both have built in fans to aid in cooling getting them unlimited record times.

I shoot with a sigma FP that has no recording limit and no fan. It is designed as basically a giant heat sink. It also has some of the lowest amounts of noise of any camera.

I’m sure the eu thing comes into play in hitting that 30 minute mark but it’s probably a convenient choice of time limit when solving the heat buildup issue.

FWIW I’ve followed film cameras closely for years and have never heard of this EU law while all reviews etc talk about heat buildup because it is so detrimental to image quality.

Sometimes it is actually a matter of principle. Not everything revolves around us-vs-them politics, and it would be a disservice to our understanding of others to paint it as such.
For the UK they're declining from a peak in the late 90s, but they were kinda flat before that, and in in any case you're talking about a difference of under 1% either way. There was never a time that the UK's murder rate was anything like 56/100k, at least not in the last century (before the late 19th century, useful stats aren't really available, but some estimates do show _very_ high murder rates in the 19th century).
All the more reason to use an adblocker. Online ads are the most common way that malware gets injected into otherwise trustworthy websites.
Confusing consumers about whether they are buying from Amazon or the market place of 3rd party tat is a core Amazon business line though.
The thing is that you can't - securing yourself financially assumes that the society around your will be stable enough for the things you have secured (money, any other assets) to remain valuable and safe, which they won't be if you have huge societal disruptions and the majority of people are unemployable.

To oversimplify it - you'll either be breaking someone's window for food, or you'll be the one having their window broken. Chilling out and withdrawing a stable 4% out of your stock portfolio won't be an option.
Firefox gets all their operating funding from Google’s Search agreement. This prevents FF from protecting user privacy as it’d jeopardize their primary source of income.

Firefox also has a lot of telemetry and experiments enabled, even if users opt out in the GUI. These have to be disabled in the about:config setting.

It is the slow and uses a lot of RAM, but despite all these thing it’s the second most popular for a reason (kept alive as an easy way for Google Chrome to avoid anti-trust)
As someone who plays violin and piano, it's a similar experience. The more expensive violins will certainly sound better (at the minimum, they are usually more resonant), and it's much easier to evoke the emotion you'd like. The diminishing returns hit hard though, above a certain price you're paying for the history and brand.

The steinway's are wonderful instruments aren't they! I've been dreaming about it and recently had the opportunity to buy a personal NY model B and I don't regret it. The joy it brings you when complex sounds are so easy to get out the instrument, it's priceless.
Would be nice if any parties which end up “using” HN to solve their customer service issues were somehow obligated to provide the community with a candid postmortem.

That would be the right way to give back for customers using us as an amplifier and for corporations relying on us to be a shibboleth (a prefilter so providers know that this is a true issue unsolvable through existing support channels they have established for customers).

Sharing these learnings with other potential founders would also be in line with the raison d’etre of HN. It would provide other founders with lessons they can takeaway and apply to their future startups to maybe do a few of these things right the first time around.

For both sides, HN is “picking up slack” in the system and it would be right to support the community with candid postmortems.

They pretty much lost the war against content farms already. I'm not sure the content indexing & crawling model they have is even adapted to the current web.
I wouldn't make dom changes in a tight loop like that. Better would be to accumulate the changes that need to be made and then do a batch change operation instead of one at a time like it sounds like you're doing. That code would be slow in any browser.

> This has always bothered me as GPL is far more strict of a license than either BSD or MIT.

In a similar manner, democracy is far more strict than anarchy because you can't kill and loot whatever you want.

Yes, I'm comparing murder and theft with taking away users' freedom. Yes, murder and theft are probably considered worse than proprietary software in the eyes of many. My point is that just because something is more restrictive, doesn't in itself make it worse.
Yeah, there was some blowback to make the big G reconsider, but don't you worry. I'm sure they're cooking up something similarly nefarious to accomplish their goal.

Google is the world's biggest ad company. Sufficiently few people use ad blocking that I don't think it's an existential threat, but as long as the shareholders demand infinite growth, getting rid of ad blocking will be seductive to Google.

At least in cities I think they should be more worried about their treatment of workers and rejection of quality control. Nobody I know has any complaints about their delivery times but I know a number of people who won’t buy from them citing working conditions or a history of getting counterfeits or knockoffs. The economics of that distribution network are not going to be pretty if customers become less loyal.

For a long time, there have been two general approaches to AI. The first was focused on algorithms and heuristics, giving us everything from Eliza and somewhat-useful expert systems to Doug Lenat's Cyc project. Then came "AI winter" and everything (except some robotics) was pretty much on hold for a decade. Finally we got "cheap and deep" neural-net stuff as we know it today. I think we need both before we can reach true AGI. Whoever unifies them will have achieved the equivalent of grand unification in physics. And probably also created Skynet.

Ostensibly, only one prefix from each group can matter. Although I did notice that XACQUIRE and LOCK are both group 1 prefixes, which makes that statement kind of a lie (but it's an intentional design to make XACQUIRE do nothing on processors that don't support it).

In any case, there's only a finite number of prefixes you can meaningfully stick onto an instruction, and repeating the same prefix will do absolutely nothing.
And it make sense for Amazon to do that. Existing varriers, DHL, UPS and the like, are hitting capacity constraints and cannot cope with Amazon's growth anymore. And since the invest in capacity is not trivial, they'd love to see Amazon to contribute. So Amazon has to invest in someones capacity, so it can easily be their own.

And in India, well, there it is either your own capacity or none at all.
Thanks for your answer. I am just trying to understand how that works in the field but seeing such companies as software companies with a hardware aspect makes a lot of sense.

My main interest in this case is B2B hardware, e.g. some kind of robot (mobile or stationary). What I see is that the main problem that is being solved is done by the robot and the software on top isn't all that interesting to many users and therefore it's not as easy to track.

When they log into a (web) app it becomes much easier track usage.

I use firefox a lot. When I have to build a PC / workstation for grad-students or labs, I install linux, and the distro I use has Firefox by default and no chrome installed. The number one complaint / request I receive when I build a PC / workstation for the grad-students after they get it? Can you please install Chrome?

When I ask them... they have not even tried Firefox. Chrome is all they know, and therefore they do not want to even look at Firefox. As a longtime user of Firefox, I find it odd. I suppose if you put me on a new box, with Chrome as the only browser that came up, I guess I would ask you to install Firefox :)
There’s always politics. Many people have jobs out of nepotism. Or they are clients of political elites. We may see a return to medieval conditions in which the neofeudal lords grant welfare to those who swear loyalty to them. I would like to be a serf under Jeff Bezos, the most ethical billionaire.
> Now, the smart money still says it’s done by a team of researchers, and it’s cobbled together over all that. But my reasoning on this is: If you take your entire DNA, it’s less than a gigabyte of information. So even your entire human body is not all that much in the instructions, and the brain is this tiny slice of it —like 40 megabytes, and it’s not tightly coded. So, we have our existence proof of humanity: What makes our brain, what makes our intelligence, is not all that much code.

Nice thought
Ask HN: What were the papers on the list Ilya Sutskever gave John Carmack?
John Carmack's new interview on AI/AGI [1] carries a puzzle:

“So I asked Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s chief scientist, for a reading list. He gave me a list of like 40 research papers and said, ‘If you really learn all of these, you’ll know 90% of what matters today.’ And I did. I plowed through all those things and it all started sorting out in my head.”

What papers do you think were on this list?

Putting aside all politics, end of the day, despite all of Google's shortcomings - they actually got the UX of Google Chrome REALLY RIGHT.

The tabs are awesome. The unified search bar is awesome. The top panel UX is really tight and compact and looks good at the same time. The ability to sweitch between profiles which I now use a lot (work/leisure) works great.

ps: did I mention the smaller details like the immediate visual feedback you get when you use a search keyword? It's frigging awesome and one of the main reasons I abandoned Firefox and never looked back.

I mean even if you disliked Google you can just use Chromium or some un-Googled version.

Chrome is literally the BEST browser UX as far as mainstream is concerned. Obviously power users are always going to find issues with it. But as an attempt to provide a user friendly browser for the largest audience possible, it's simply excellent.
> they just saved the company 10x their salary in cloud spend.

Great. Thanks for doing that. Now that we have got our cloud costs manageable, the next biggest expense is people!

What did you say you did again? Oh, you're our cloud cost reduction guy? I don't think we need your skills anymore, that's not a problem anymore.
> This is all fine if you retain backup fossil or nuclear power, or built transmission lines or batteries. That's unfortunately not how the politics always work.

My statements were made with reasonable assumptions about sanity in policy decisions. You are correct that those aren't always reasonable assumptions. :)

In my area, it isn't unusual to see relatively small utility solar on vacant land next to substations. Its cheap to build, transmission lines are low cost due to small distances, the land wasn't being used anyway, and its basically just demand reduction from a grid pov.

I suspect that economics change when they start putting huge installs 100 miles from anything in a desert, but I don't live in California.
