I doubt you hand wrote cover letters by making dozens of search queries (similarly, I doubt people devise teaching curricula by learning the history of Ukraine through a series of Google queries). But when you weren't taking the time to write them yourself, I bet you had more time free to search for jobs, or do general internet browsing using Google as your gateway to the internet...

People having more time free to browse the internet is unlikely to be a threat to Google's business, even in the highly unlikely scenario Google is incapable of advancing its existing AI products beyond their current state
"Terrible" was too strong of a word -- I actually like Overcast, but find Spotify superior.
I am not sure how F# which started as a .NET version of early OCaml 3 can be seen as a modernized OCaml 5? Even more so when F# has to give up on some OCaml core feature in the transition (before growing in its own language of course).

Fair call out on the luck thing and yes the old adage of the harder I work the luckier I get is very true.
Some of humanities best and brightest are living in India right now. It’s sad that these people aren’t the ones running the country. The country deserves better than the old man who can’t stand before his own press, much of which is obligated to take his side. I hope that India can find somebody young and engaged to run the country when Modi retires. And not Yogi. That’d be much worse.

Sorry, what does "respect" means? Ruby and Pascal have division operator that takes two integers and returns a real — is this disrespectful? Is it disrespectful for multiplication to have signature

template<size_t N> operator*(int<N>, int<N>) -> int<2*N>

instead of

template<size_t N> operator*(int<N>, int<N>) -> int<min(numeric_limits<int>::width, N)>

? Why or why not?
The counter argument is, of course, to shout about how Scott has gone completely off the deep end and proclaimed his belief in Atlantis.

The problem is that some of your opponents really do think "rationality" is Wrong in the Biblical Evil kind of sense, I think. They don't proclaim it in such bald terms but they've got these consistent arguments that sum up to their ideal society consisting of friction-less spherical cows.
Being young almost always involves paying your dues. It ain't fun but you get experience and figure out what you want. You usually don't have your choice of where to work from.

Graduated in ‘09, things were still chaotic post-crash, but I did find work in the end.

I joined a small local company, they had a codebase dating back to the 90s and they’d succeeded in becoming the dominant solution in a niche space. It was a far cry from the nifty places I read about on hacker news.

It wasn’t flashy, weird proprietary tooling, ancient version of .NET, little to no version control, no testing infrastructure, but man I learned so much. I was fresh out of school, everything was a learning experience!

I think it’s easy to forget that these stable, smaller, more “humble” options exist out there and they’re not necessarily slashing massive proportions of their staff.
Depends on who was hired and who is now fired. The pools may have no correlation.
Snapchat doesn't even work on rooted phones. I'm surprised they're taking this "security risk".
To improve employee gender ratios, AAAMM hired a lot of project managers and recruiters.
Honestly, I agree with you on this; however, the grandparent didn't say "Democratic or Republican politicians," which is very much the source of the problem you describe. Their wording was "conservatives or the left", which I think it is fair to say includes the people who identify with those political orientations—and I think you'd have a hard time seriously arguing that "the left" in America, to the extent that it even exists, is not strongly in favor of labour unions and worker protections.
The Google Podcasts app works for me. It has a minimalist feel to it.

This reminded me of my own journey of interest in, and work with representing shadows...

After one month of CGI learning, interest levels were like this:

https://www.creativeshrimp.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/cg...

15 years later, this is just about what comes to mind when I read the article:

https://photodoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/24-shadow-a...

Shadows as a concept are, let's say, much more flexible in my mind now...

It might have something to do with alternately being told that some of my real photos were obvs fake, and that some of my realistically-rendered (per spec) shadows for product marketing needed to change in the fake direction, in order to fit the needed composition better.

After that I decided that all shadows would go in the cow direction whenever I felt like it, no matter how the scene was actually modeled.
Quite a few of these happened in the context of earnings calls or other communications to investors. If the guy in charge of these companies keeps making statements about their future performance and then they repeatedly miss the mark, that's a valid thing to criticize and an "I think" prefix doesn't absolve him.
This could explain much what is going on. The later objects have confusing descriptions which make hard to figure out what they were. But they could easily be small to medium balloons with the payload not visible. Spherical becomes cylindrical or octagonal, balloons become floating.

This could explain why we haven’t gotten more info from government. They don’t want to admit that shot down weather or scientific balloons. Smaller balloons are likely to not be Chinese. It could also be that government is equally confused and are waiting to find the wreckage.
imo Python is going to eventually be nice-looking macros for Rust in the near future and you will barely have to change your code. What's not to like about that?!

- the ability to embrace, extend and extinguish the open source C# development solution, in the most obvious of ways

- they wanted to disadvantage open source users because of their proprietary solution

- they gatekeep the debugger while pretending it's an open source ecosystem

- several "clerical errors" demonstrating a pattern of undermining an open ecosystem

Yes, except for your charitable wording of a company's hostile "interpretation" of an open community, those are the reasons why it should be avoided.

Even if that is true, which I kind of doubt because before the iPhone there was Opera Mini, it doesn’t prove anything, because obviously if Apple hadn’t made the iPhone, a few years later someone else would have made a phone that could browse the web, and then we would have gotten web apps created for that phone. It’s natural progression, not some diabolical plot by Steve Jobs. I’m pretty sure that the first version of Android that was in the works when Apple released the iPhone came with a web browser just as well. It’s kind of obvious people want that.

If you want to blame someone for web apps, you have to blame either Microsoft who started it all with Outlook Web Access, or Google who lead the way to real interactivity with Google Maps. Perhaps Brandon Eich who created Javascript, Sun who created Java or whoever created the DOM. To blame Apple or Steve Jobs is nonsensical.

And to insist that ‘everybody loathes mobile web apps’ is ridiculous. On this very site there’s plenty of people that prefer Reddits mobile web app to the apps and Twitters web app to the apps. You don’t like them and you don’t like how nobody cares about what you want.

> Why don't novelists all release their full manuscripts under highly permissive free licenses at the same time as their published volumes hit the store shelves?

They're likely afraid to try. I'm not afraid. Novelists don't make much money. Giving the novels away is a way to get fame, and fame can be turned into money.

> their living depends on the protections afforded them by copyright law

Does it? It's really hard to make a living writing novels.
Ozone is produced at 185nm. Standard germicidal UV-C lights are ~250nm. The issue is that some germicidal bulbs do not filter out the lower wavelengths and thus produce ozone (sometimes on purpose since ozone is also germicidal). See [0].

Here in my city, at least, virtually none of the stolen Kias/Hyundais were being sold. They were being stolen by middle schoolers for joy rides. Throughout the summer of 2022, groups of kids as young as 13 were stealing a different car each day, abandoning the ride of the day when it was out of gas (or damaged to the point of being inoperable).

It was pure crime of opportunity.

AFAIK the real kick in their ass to finally get this going is insurance companies like State Farm refusing to insure their vehicles on a state by state basis.[1]

I own a 2020 Kia Sportage and I just got my offer in the mail today to go to Kia and get a free software upgrade right as I notice my insurance shooting up $40. Of note I'm in Louisiana where they are facing state farms new policy.

A cool bit of trivia I learned just last night: The (sail) record for Hong Kong - New York was set by the then almost-new US ship Sea Witch, one of the original “clippers” in 1847, at about 78 days. Obviously this is the “long” way, no Panama Canal for you.

This was done with a full load of high value cargo (tea, porcelain, spices), which is what the clippers were built to carry.

This record was not beaten until this millennium, by a racing trimaran, and even then by less than 10%.

Really incredible what Sea Witch did… The captain of the trimaran said there was absolutely no way his ship and crew could have come even close without modern technology - No weather reports, radio, or even especially accurate maps in the mid 19th century.

Sea Witch still holds the record for a monohull.

This is, as far as I know, the oldest unbroken speed record of any kind.
Even if those benchmarks showing their models are X% above SoTA actually translate into qualitatively significant improvements (which they probably would), Google still has the most to lose even if they do release widely and little to gain. Their best case outcome is to not lose any users, and maybe gain back a few % of the users they've lost in recent years. Search result quality has been declining noticeably for a while now and users want something different.
How? She criticized some technology and was kicked out. She clearly didn't have power in the organization; she might have been at most a speed bump.
You open source it, but offer a commercial license with warranty and support contract. Many organisations require support contracts, so won't use the free version even if they are internally capable.
forked then modernized probably fits better, i agree
So who lost their job? Is it the first or the second?

Thanks for posting this! I'm the lead developer. I've been building Packj to empower developers/security engineers to easily audit third-party open-source dependencies for supply chain attacks. Please allow me to highlight a couple of important aspects of the technology:

- It analyzes Python/NPM/Rubygems packages for several risky code and attributes such as Network/File permissions, expired email domains, data exfiltration, mismatching repo code vs packaged code (provenance)

- Auditing hundreds of direct/transitive dependencies manually is impractical, but Packj can quickly point out if a package accesses sensitive files (e.g., SSH keys), spawns shell, sends telemetry info, is abandoned, lacks 2FA, etc.

- It can be customized to your threat model by commenting out alerts that don't apply.

- We found a bunch of malicious packages on PyPI using the tool, which have now been taken down; a few are listed here https://packj.dev/malware
What do you think is more likely?

American software developers are put out by needing to buy up to $XXX/month in services which are reimbursed in their next paycheck, creating a short-term loan,

OR

The same developers are not at all cash flow sensitive to $XXX/month and rather enjoy the credit card rewards they get to harvest from these reimbursements?

If you work at a large corporation who forces the use of company cards over personal cards + timely reimbursements, the opinion is one-sided for the rewards alone. Much less the bureaucracy that usually accompanies the approval of using a company card.

This is especially true when it comes to airline travel. Individuals far, far more prefer to book travel on their own rewards cards - often travel-based ones, netting significant benefits like Delta's AMEX MQD waiver.

By the way, if it really matters to you, we will put Copilot and/or any other expenses on our own company rewards card if the cashflow is actually impactful. As I am sure most businesses would. It's just that employees vastly prefer the reimbursement methods for obvious reasons in today's rewards credit card environment.
For these GPUs, it partially comes down to form factor (being able to drop 8 in a chassis with unified cooling). I’d say that’s the primary difference here. This applies maybe a little more noticeably to the rest of the computer around the a100s, with ECC ram, hot swappable components, and redundant power supplies. The 8x a100 rigs are absolute beasts, difficult to move even by two people without removing some components. There is also price discrimination here where manufacturers aim for higher margins on server components (as nvidia clearly does).

Between the two mentioned cards, though, it really does come down to performance. The cards are simply not interchangeable for large scale model training.
I always imagined a mountain climb. So steep learning curve would mean daunting, high effort, high "drag" (gravity), but if you undertake it and push hard, you do, in fact, gain tons of utility (rather than proficiency per se) in a short amount of time.

I disagree, I love using the Spotify app for podcasts. I have podcast addict and never use it because frankly I already go to Spotify for all-things-audio.

Now they allow paid podcasts as well, so my playlist is complete.

When I started using Spotify back in 2011, I was excited to not have to use N apps for music. I want to stick to not having to use more than 1 app for audio.
IMHO, external schema to validate structures at entry point is the way to go.

Plus, types make working with maps cumbersome and force you to maybe unnecessary data cages called dto-s

Sounds like there's some similarities with everyone focusing on Leetcode interviews, and then one generation of that filtering and then mentoring the next, and repeat.

The companies don't know what that's costing them, until there's a problem that can't be ignored.

In the case of software engineering (poorly studied, relative to aviation) the company will generally never learn whether a non-Leetcode&promo-focused team could've avoided the problems in the first place, nor whether non-Leetcode experience could've handled a problem that happened anyway.

You could take it a step further and specify the domain and range of your functions. The division operator for example take any real number except 0 – Zero is a special undefined case specifically for division.

Although string types seems intractible, you could easily specify things like [a-zA-Z0-9], or character sets/UTF ranges for limiting inputs to certain languages. All list types (strings, arrays) could specify length as a limit.

Programmers would naturally want flexibility with domain enforcement, so could just write a (turing complete) function to which returns the domain of the function in question!
The best advice that I got was to write commit messages as a letter to your future self.

I wonder what the new Ram 1500 REV is going to be like?
I'd be really interested in why climate change is a hysteria and not well-founded fear. Well founded studies say we are currently on track to reach 4°C higher average temperature by 2100, and a plausible rise in sea levels of that would be around 40 meters. Completely ignoring all other effects, this would be a catastrophe on a level we can hardly achieve otherwise. And 2100 isn't an end date, it would be kind of nice if the planet was usable a fair bit after that as well.

Well, in the JS space, also seeing tooling come out in Go as well (esbuild) so I don't think it's just Rust... I do think the story to get an executable to a given environment is quite a bit better for Go or Rust than say C# or JVM... Distributing tools in those languages feels dirty by comparison, even if containers make applications much cleaner (in terms of dist/usage).

Similar, I got a lifetime subscription. Then again, I think I also purchased all 4 options (Android, the never very good Windows Phone, the web version of the was a separate charge for that and finally the iOS version). I still find it very handy to be able to jump between Android and iOS pretty seamlessly.
I find your phrasing and mindset interesting. What you suggest somewhat maliciously as "lock others in at high rates", I read as "shower them with more cash than they could ever conceivably dream of"
