Yep. This always happens in my experience. Or there is a bug fix or feature you badly need and it will never happen for various BS reasons. So now you either have to rip out the dependency and start all over or start maintaining a massive pile of garbage software that you didn’t even write (assuming you can even get access to the code).

Well the batch size also helps with making training more stable. So a larger batch size computes the gradient across more examples so it ends up being more stable than only using a batch size of day one. A batch size of one is only fixing the error on one example rather than many.

a larger Batch size can help keep the gpu fed but usually that’s not a problem with these larger models.
The IRS is one of the most reasonable divisions of the government to get in a fight with, and there are insane amounts of protections built in for people who honestly believe they’re filing correctly. My dad even had them inform him of a filing error and included the additional much larger return he was due.

I do not understand how teams work without source control. I don't mean that (only) in the "WTF are you doing, I don't understand why you would do that" colloquial sense. I literally cannot conceive how they work.

Do people just... change files and then email the whole file to the other developers and hope nobody else was working on that file? Do they at least have patches?
To your point: I remember going to our IT security people asking for them to allow us to add Python to our computers. We said, "there's nothing in Python that Excel can't do" (not 100% true). Their response was, "If we could prohibit everyone from using Excel, that would be our preference too."
Wait so they weren't able to recover any of the mails yet?
I’ve run some medium/large scale side projects with Linode in the past and like many others, I was absolutely blown away by the high quality and professional support I received.

I swapped over to it. A dedicated mail client, imo, is always going to be more functional and more performant than a web browser for the purpose of mail tasks.

It's nice to have a dedicated piece of software that I know works and I don't have to worry that some weird browser issue or one of several dozen addons isn't causing a problem.

I mean, Thunderbird is really just FF under the hood from what I understand, but still.
Wanna know what is real infuriating. Is the fact Ecohealth still to this day has refused to share any data or records from their decades of research. You'd think if the reckless research they were conducting was so vital (as they have and continue to claim), then sharing their research and databases would have helped fight the pandemic. But for some reason they have refused.
That's really cool, I don't know how I'd never heard about this before.

And yes, just in case it wasn't clear, I'm not advocating blockchain here, I have no stake in that stuff or any real understanding of it. But I do like the "digital signatures/attestations" idea. Thanks for sharing the wiki link, I'll have to do some more reading on Estonia's system.

> If you self-reference using pointers and guarantee the struct will never move, you don't even need unsafe

I have a hard time seeing how you could use self references without a combination of raw pointers, pins/projects, and unsafe code. The tediousness of doing so is pretty much a no-go for any sane developer.

The only sane solution seems to be a generous sprinkle of Arcs, which is _not_ okay in high performance scenarios.

> Per-struct allocators are a work in progress

Yes, and most of us don't really want to use nightly in production. It's been years of work on the allocator work group already, and there's probably still years to wait before a stable release.

> Not sure what "non thread local addresses" means, but in my experience Rust is pretty good at sending data between threads

Well I mean overall any way to allow a somewhat eased setup for storing and retrieving objects to/from shared memory, across processes that do not map said memory at the same location. This is very very annoying to implement in Rust at the moment.

Don't get me wrong though, I think Rust has a lot to offer. But when you dive in even slightly technical subjects in Rust, it soon becomes obvious that the power of C/C++ is far from "just type unsafe" away.

It’ll act as an additional hurdle, which is good. If people want to take their time to use a proxy, then they can still do so. What this prevents is easy access by minors. Right now anyone, regardless of age is a few clicks away from seeing porn on their smartphone.
First and most important, I can not use Gmail. I use fastmail, pay for it, and dont have my most personal data mined for ads. It also means I can move away from fastmail quite easily!

Second, the performance is better, it's just way snappier even on high end computers.

Third, mail clients (not just thunderbird) often have better os level integration, features, and feel. For example, Mail.app on ios/macos.
Javascript on the backend. Javascript on the frontend.

This is incorrect. Thought would be interesting. Pruning usually removes some parameters from the model (setting certain ones to 0 for instance). The smaller models all have less layers and therefore weren’t pruned but were smaller to begin with.

Ask HN: Canadian SWEs, have you tried moving to the US? Why or why not?
If you made the move, did you eventually move back? Do you plan to? How long ago did you do it? And how did your life change? Do you regret anything? Would you have done anything differently? What do you wish you had known before?

If you're studying SWE or CS at a Canadian university, are you planning to move to the US? What do your classmates plan to do? Did you do internships in the US or in Canada? Do you plan to stay in Canada? If so, why?

If you work in Canada for a US company, such as Google, how satisfied are you with your TC? Do you think it compares favorably with the TC of US-based engineers? Have you ever considered requesting an internal transfer to a US office? Do you know if other people have done it?

I disagree. The more dependencies I remove, the less of a maintenance burden the code I maintain is. I am maintaining very large scale C++ code used in production every day by large multi-national companies. And have almost zero maintenance work.
I think Vector really shines with its VRL language to parse and enrich data. It's well thought out with buffering for network errors and throwing errors on parsing instead of silently discarding.

What the first exposure to layoffs (whether you are or not) teaches you is to never be exposed in such a circumstance again. Make sure you have an exit strategy when your current company either goes down the toilet or they bin you. Companies have zero loyalty to you just as you should have zero loyalty to them. Walk when the opportunity arises that makes sense.
rebrands are never a good sign.
Because companies aren't family, and they aren't welfare programs. Continuing to retain these employees would require increasing prices to pay for this glut of labor, and shift the burden on customers. And if customers drop because of increased prices, they might have to lay people off anyway. There is no "sacred company".

Although, for searching factual information it still failed me.. I wanted to find a particular song - maybe from Massive Attack or a similar style - with a phrase in the lyrics, I asked Chatty, and it kept delivering answers where the phrase did not appear in the lyrics!
I anecdotally agree. For some reason I find Akamai’s brand in general very uninspiring and this particular rebrand is the typical low effort corporate affair… they’ve literally swapped the logo and kept all the Linode green elsewhere as well as various mentions of Linode everywhere that haven’t been updated and now look out of place.

You can also use int8 quantization which comes for free with huggingface and isn’t a huge cost to accuracy. Which cuts the memory usage almost in half again. (almost in half because some layers might stay 32 bit if they make a tiny part of the model)

Ask HN: I was just about to sign up to their Managed service offering (basically they monitor the VPS's and if a monitored URL goes down they do initial trouble shooting for the basics to bring things back online before they contact you). I've rarely seen this offered elsewhere. Any other hosting co's HN knows about that does this (and had good experiences with?) ? Vultr doesn't from what I can see. I prefer my servers a little less than crispy so OVH isn't on the menu.

> $78 million budget

$78 million? That's insane. An Iowa-class battleship cost about $100 million. Iowa was heavier (57000 tons vs 47000 tons), had a bit less power (212000 hp vs 240000 hp) and was slightly slower (32.5 knots vs 35 knots).

An Essex class carrier cost (per wikipedia) between $68 and $78 million. It was only 36000 tons, but it had a speed of 33 knots.

So this civilian passenger ship cost as much as the most expensive warships that the US built during WW2. Mind blown.
It depends a lot on the specific area you live in. Down here in the Peninsula, it varies by municipality and 1/4 mile+ zones. The wealthier the area, the more reliable the service. Also, tree limb falls happen.

The jaded side of me attributes this to PG&E executives not wanting to anger the elite powers that be. Atherton service has likely never been affected by the rolling brownouts in summer. Go a mile or three away and it's a very different story.
"UV units intended for installation in return or supply ducts are snake oil. A waste of electricity and money (the bulbs have a pretty finite lifespan.) The velocity of air in most ducts is such that anything flying by wouldn't be sterilized,"

If you just do the simple thing and point the lights in a self-facing ring in the duct, no, they will not work. The trick is to beam the light down the incoming pathway to drastically-increase the exposure time. Clean reflective surfaces in the ducting to even out the photon flux density will greatly help with this.

If you were to start a company today that disallowed remote work you’d have to:

1.Rent or buy an office that is large enough to hold your expected work force based on your starting and expected future headcount over the course of the lease (or pay money to move when your first place is too small)

2.Pay on-going costs of operation and maintenance of said office space

3.Purchase equipment for the operation of your company (including additional perks like coffee or whatever if you’re generous)

4.Find employees within a reasonable distance of your location that have the skill set you need and will work for the wage you offer

5.Expect those employees to pay out of their own pocket the expense to get to and from work and any additional expenses they might have for childcare etc

Productivity would have to be massively increased to justify all of these additional costs and constraints so you’d think by now this would shake out in the data (at least a dataset larger than 37 businesses that may not even have a stable business model yet).

I just don’t get it. And this doesn’t even factor in the actual bullshit of working in an office or signing off exactly at 5 because your work day is done (at least in an ideal world).

The only thing I miss about going to the office is being able to talk to co-workers “off the record” - which I can do with remote co-workers on any non-company controlled channels.

This whole RTO thing is baffling.
Linode is still fine I think. A few months ago I looked around a bit for alternatives as I wondered if there are better deals out there, and nothing really jumped out as "wow, this obviously offers a much better price/quality service!"

DigitalOcean seems about on-par; OVH and Hetzner are cheaper but seem less reliable, etc. Much depends on your exact needs of course.

Who will know what Akamai will do in the future, but you can say "who knows what $anything will do in the future?" too. It's been a year and nothing has radically changed as near as I can tell. A naming rebrand is rather superficial.

Passenger liners were great. I travelled on the Ellinis twice. It was a sister ship of the Australis, which was the renamed SS America mentioned in the post.

I went with my parents and two sisters to Holland from Australia for a year in late 1970 returning early 1972. While only turning 7 on the trip out, I still remember it and the return vividly. By the time the 5 weeks were over you had very much got your bearings and explored all that you were (and probably not) allowed. Everything from terrorising the stewards on roller skates around the decks (nabbing cake from each side of the ship's afternoon tea service), to seeing how far you could fly a paper plane from the top deck.

And my understanding it was far cheaper to travel by ship than to fly around the globe (certainly with the dozens of trunks and tea chests we were allowed portage for on the way back).

I recall also there were certainly a few stormy days where the food service was quite limited, and anything that could move was tied down as much as possible (wet table cloths also come to mind to stop things sliding around)
Each to their own, but I wouldn't hire you - I wouldn't even interview you. You do get to a point where you earn enough and can't be bothered to prove yourself at a new place yet again.

The Linode brand is so well known by developers. Why in the world would Akamai risk the brand any further than they already have like this?
No, it not "just a conspiracy theory". They were seeking research funding for a proposal to do gain of function research on Corona viruses. Function that would produce something very much like covid19. Whether they ended up doing it is not even relevant IMHO because the proposed result would have essentially been that virus. Lab leaks have happened before and will happen again. People are actively looking to make similar things for "research".

It's not that they make Covid. It's that they may as well have and wanted to (sans releasing it hopefully)

Per the Nazis v. Skokie case, the 1st Amendment protects the right to engage in hateful speech. There's no serious debate that this law is unconstitutional and the politicians who supported it showed that they either don't understand the 1st Amendment or just don't care about it.

Since it also needs to be said, the fact that you have a constitutional right to say hateful things does not mean you should or that you have a right not to be judged by other people if you choose to exercise this particular right. As long as people are free to express views that almost everybody regards as reprehensible, the rest of us can feel confident that our 1st Amendment rights remain secure.

"Akamai Connected Cloud" is practically peak corporate brand. The only thing it's missing is "Powered by Akamai"

I wonder how much influence the Google layoffs had on the decision making.

Back before the layoffs, Google was seen as a very stable and safe job, and any consideration of changing jobs would have to be balanced against that.

Now Google has lost the perception, so it may cause people who otherwise would have stayed at Google to go to other companies.
