I've been reading this whole thread and playing my favorite game called "If I were CEO of Google this is what I would do differently"

It must be incredibly difficulty to evaluate how well people are doing, and how valuable peoples work is when only one or two departments make any money and everything else indirectly supports that work.

How do you reward people for doing boring maintenance work on existing products? How do you give people the time to build the products, but also keep them happy and well paid enough to prevent them being poached?

How to reward a talented engineer who's job it is to add some small feature to a massive product like Maps or Docs?

I can't help but think I would explode the company into thousands of tiny startups each managing themselves and their own budgets, staff, and salaries, and literately pay bounties for every little feature I wanted implemented. There is no ladder to climb, only bounties to claim.
I have VMs for tests purposes as well, while still find WSL convenient for simple tasks [not requiring much isolation and flexibility of VMs].
High enough you could start using percentages!
A very simple and easy way to pretty much guarantee an image doesn’t contain unnecessary metadata, can’t be uncropped, etc. is to first convert it to JPEG and then run it through an image optimizer (like ImageOptim [1]). Don’t use cloud software for any of this — do it all locally.

Copilot for Visual Studio (i.e. not VS Code) is horribly broken, and even at $10/month it wasn't worth it, let alone $19/month. Considering that Visual Studio is used by enterprises mostly, I don't know how many will jump into this $19/month subscription until the product is much, much, better.

It isn't the "AI" side that is broken. It is just a buggy extension, crashes constantly, and even when it does give suggestions it takes far too long to do so harming your workflow. Check out the less than 2.5 star average reviews on the VS Marketplace:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.c...

Honestly if you're a Visual Studio developer, I'd say ChatGPT Plus for $20/month is better value than Copilot in its current form which is should be free while they iron out all the bugs. Or if you REALLY want to use Copilot, then you'll need to switch to VS Code instead since the extension in that at least works correctly.
I had two words there: "organize" and "format." This addresses only the latter.
Yeah, that's probably true. He also at least allows people to set their own reading width by adjusting browser.

My frustration stems from the fact that I find the argument "there are no papers with sufficient evidence" to be pedantic bullshit. Like yeah, sure, you aren't even wrong, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I've never seen anyone claim to like 180 char lines, whereas I've seen hordes of people who say it is very difficult for them to read that line length, and prefer something book-sized (lengthed?).
Maybe another example where one app does two things: AirBnB.

I am a host (holiday house) but regularly also travel and become a traveler. The experience and need is very different. In one “mode” I need offline availability and help in navigating the checkin time and the location and in the other one the calendar, bookings and money is my main concern.
You can easily click on “switch to hosting” in the same app.
Bing has ~8% market share and has been consistently stealing share from Google.

It's not the same scale but it has many millions of DAUs and is definitely not a "non-entity"
He's running 20 year old software on today's hardware, of course it's going to be fast.

The idea that software is slower now is nonsense, if anything it's faster in general. It's using orders of magnitude more hardware, of course, but how is that a problem?
>Copilot is useful because the cost to ask it something is effectively zero...

Copiolot requires you to enter payment details, to access the trial period. ChatGPT is available to use for free, as long as you're prepared to put up with the fact access may not always be instantly available during busy periods. So the reality is the reverse of what you say.
> We do have materials which can withstand this environment, but how long will they last? How much power can the whole set up produce and would it be more than landing the setup's weight in solar cells?

Oh, of course this is terrible now. It would have a very, very large required scale to come out ahead compared to just shipping power or power generation some other way (if this is true at any scale). It is also surely not fully baked yet.

On the other hand... it's a notable step towards being able to build "big" in space and might be worth doing to learn more about the practical aspect even if it's higher risk and more costly than shipping a bunch of PV.

The bigger problem is how practical is it to use PV at all on much of the moon.
I can't imagine a world where thieves get away with their crimes so easily neither.
And intelligence is part of the acronym, what it is and what the masses understand it to be are two completely different things.

Barely anyone is calling them LLM, its always AI.
Sometimes, Copilot is brilliant. I have encountered solutions that are miles better than anything i had found on the internet nor expected to find in the first place.

The issue involved heavy numerical computation with numpy, and it found a library call for that that covered exactly my issue.
Lol. I know I'm a new user but I'm not ChatGPT :)
I’m curious if enterprise customers would have license concerns about the code produced from using this.

Have any big companies set policies on employees using these kind of tools? Do they allow them?
I mean black people who have have been incarcerated for any reason, violent or non-violent, account for about 1% of the Black population, so I don't think it's a lack of black people that leaves South Korea's safe?

I'm a black immigrant and seeing commentary like this feels a lot like that comic of a man shoving a stick in his bike wheel and yelling out someone else's name...

-

But I also don't get how your original comment followed the racist comment section: White men commit a wildly disproportionate fraction of child sexual abuse in America, yet not every conversation about white men devolves into them being called names

I think it speaks more to the people making the comments.

Along the lines of how ChatGPT ends up being "racist against non-minorities": if you ask a comment section "What can whites do better", you'll get softballs like "be more mindful of privilege". Ask a comment section what black people can do better and you'll get something cancerous...
Ah, at first I thought that was a library that implemented Excel functions in F#.
This is why it's nice to get people's preferences vs thoughts about preferences. Preferences aggregate, thoughts about preferences do not. If one designer says "Readers like narrow columns more, everyone knows that." and another says "I like reading narrow columns.", I'd give the person speaking about readers in general more weight (even with them going the same direction). But, if 100 designers spoke for all readers and 100 designers spoke for themselves, I'm giving more weight to the second group. Hearing 100 preferences is more valuable than hearing one idea, 100 times.

I doubt it, I mean, what would they fight over, Junagadh? Who even cares about that?

Kashmir matters because of its resources / Muslims / Hindus.
Because sports is a hugely profitable business for universities. And it is profitable precisely because American people just are so into sports. So it's a virtuous or vicious cycle, depending on how you look at it. My view is actually in the middle: admit national talent, but ignore anyone below that level. This is just how sports works. No one knows who was the 100th place in Tour de France, even though that person is probably just one second behind the 1st place.
I think this is because now one of the fastest languages is also safe. Before, the usual options for writing 'performant code' were usually C or C++, and even though modern C++ has better tools for memory management and safety, it was still scary to most people and you could still have some sort of memory bugs.

Now, we also have Rust in the performant side of things, and the guarantee that 'if compiles, it'll work' (aside from logic bugs), is quite a big one. Also, considering how helpful the compiler is, and the mentioned guarantees, more people are enthusiastic about having faster things.
Making solar cells like this is a nice first step to making self replicating machines. Being able to make solar cells is especially interesting because these are semiconductor devices, so producing control electronics may be possible too.

But really what needs to be solved for self-replicating machines is determining a way to make actuators. On the Moon this is harder due to the difficulty of making bearings and gears. Because of vacuum welding making bearings is much more difficult. While solid lubricants do exist, it's difficult to obtain the materials necessary on the Moon. Traditional machining and polishing processes don't work well in a vacuum either due to vacuum welding and the inability to use lubricant.

If we wish to carry out said processes in a pressurized environment we run into another problem: seals. In order to make good seals we need elastomers, and elastomers require elements such as hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen which are difficult to obtain on the Moon.
How can they do an article about that and not mention Mike Rowe?? https://www.mikeroweworks.org/
It does. It's very hard to tell from the video, but these were very high up, and must have been much larger. Looked a lot like all-white inflatable ribbed wind-surfing wings.
According to the linked article: "While the effects on live tissue are diminished, Far-UV (222 nm light being the most prevalent) has increased efficacy for killing bacteria and viruses."

Removing the shelter belts is also making the same mistakes as they made in the 1920s that lead to the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. The lack of wind-breaks created the conditions for massive dust storms that destroyed both current crops and insane amounts of topsoil that got blown away.

But no one cares about history. And so everyone becomes the ignorant herd condemned to repeat history.
> Bing suffers from being so historically unpopular that from a branding perspective it's synonymous with failure.

AI integration is exactly the type of feature that could upend that. Google is the lackadaisical incumbent, too afraid of short term ad revenue decline to innovate. They've mastered shoving more ads onto the SERP pages and playing aggravating skip button games on Youtube.

They are no less corporate and staid as MS at this point, so if they fall behind I'd have no qualms in dropping them.
That's a great way to teach people to cover up their mistakes
SpaceX is not a neutral party. They’re flush with cash from US government contracts. If they want to withdraw their infrastructure from America’s ally, who are defending themselves against an existential threat from one of America’s top geopolitical adversaries, why should they continue to be granted American government contracts?

If Elon wants to be independent, he can be independent. He doesn’t. His companies all depend on government subsidies to exist. Tesla, SolarCity, SpaceX — these are not free market capitalist successes, they’re all fundamentally dependent on Big Government. Without government charity, Elon Musk has nothing.

If Elon really wants to bite the hand that feeds him, he’d better be ready to get smacked.
> You could use records[1], or anonymous types[2].

Not quite with directness of JS.

> There's delegates[3] and lambda expressions[4].

Again you can get something equivalent, but not without some ceremony. It’s not as frictionless as with JS.
The point is not to be paranoid about what will happen if data leak, the point is to stick to "I don’t want my data shared without my consent" and see what happens.

We badly need more experiment like those because this tell a lot about our society!

It’s exactly like vegan diets. You have moral principles and you try to see how far/how difficult it is to apply them. This also helps other realize what is happening/what they are missing.

I admire her because I would be like her before having kids. As they say: "I had principles. Now I have kids.".
Thank you so much! I will definitely look into all of this. So surprised that I got so many answers! Hacker news > reddit
Ah that makes sense. I briefly combed the article and was confused because I had a factory immobiliser in my base model 97 Lantra.
100%. It's important to note that doing so also doesn't make you complicit. I have a general disdain for the "do your own research" type of people because often they're not trying to seek out actual education, they're just trying to bolster some sort of preconception they have.
It sounds like a soul
actually, are they using warheads, or just flying through the balloon ?

It supports 3.11 but not all syntax constructs of 3.11.
It's all over the place. Probably standard gauge is most common, but there's tons of variation. For instance, the DC Metro is slighly (like a half inch) narrower than standard gauge, but SF BART is MUCH wider, something like 8 inches.
It's worth noting that the most frequently stolen models of car all have immobilizers. Part of the reason for this is that people just steal the keys... which are often poorly secured, i.e. hanging by the door in a poorly secured home.

There is also quite a lot of property and violent crime that could have been prevented by better residential security.
I didn't use Word in years now, but I remember that there was an option for reducing image size. That option would remove cropped part. I've just searched for help and this is what I've found https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/reduce-the-file-s...
I'm not saying its not impressive or doesn't contain logic and facts and knowledge, i'm saying people generally understand the word intelligence to mean one thing, and this doesn't meet that understanding.
He could've used different variable names in his example too, which makes me believe variable clashing was in fact intentional. And while it's definitely a controversial approach, there are cases where it can be considered more readable (e.g. where provider and consumer of "temp" are isolated entities which have their own meanings of "temp").
I dunno, we have ridiculously amazing displays, live video, amazing audio, intuitive, reactive interfaces, and profound knowledge at our fingertips. Seems like we're doing pretty good!
On the big one over the Atlantic they didn't use a warhead. The others I'm not so sure.

It does indeed. Here's an article that discusses it more [1]. I know of a few thins that introduce an artificial wait with a progress bar to make the user feel like it's doing something complex.

There's also situations in the real world too, coin counting machines apparently also delay showing the results because people won't believe that dumping a jar full of coins into a machine and having an instant answer can be accurate.

People also do it too, locksmiths may umm and ah when called out to pick a lock because if they do it too quickly customers can feel aggrieved at a large invoice or even feel less safe in their homes if they've seen their front door picked in 10 seconds.

I was working with my team recently to build a standardized python project boilerplate and came across Ruff - the one thing I really liked, apart from the speed, was that I could finally have my linting config in pyproject.toml, which the flake8 project seems to have some kind of aversion to.
That makes sense. I can see record companies wanting Spotify to exist just to have an additional customer to help negotiate with Apple/Amazon/Google.
I don't own any site depicted in this thread. Just trying to help out someone who may be interested.
Hey, thank you. If you are blocked on anything, check out the GitHub repo I have added to the article. It has all the working code.

TIL about code crafters. Looks promising; I will check it out.
yes, if you ignore a millennium's worth of publishing wisdom and think the world of text began anew in 1995, then maybe you can claim that "the science is not settled."

He has every right to make his choice. As do we, in deciding whether to read it.
It died

I think Github and Gitlab use it though
Also lazy: They don't seem to know the definition of the word "quiz." They are just taking an old device that worked for them a decade ago and Frankensteining on "AI" to try to catch lightning in a bottle again. Like watching an aging band switch their image/sound to try to regain relevance.

>PCDD/F-compounds were never synthesized for any purpose, except for small quantities for scientific research.[12] Small amounts of PCDD/Fs are formed whenever organics, oxygen and chlorine are available at suitable temperatures.[1] This is augmented by metal catalysts such as copper. The optimal temperature range is 400 °C (752 °F) to 700 °C (1,292 °F). This means that formation is highest when organic material is burned in less-than-optimal conditions such as open fires, building fires, domestic fireplaces, and poorly operated and/or designed solid waste incinerators.[3] Historically, municipal and medical waste incineration was the most important source of PCDD/Fs.
Bing AI will give you incorrect information then fully gaslight you if you qu
When I dropped out in early 2012, I felt like my life was over. I felt I was gonna be stuck working minimum wage and living in my parents' spare bedroom until they or I die. In one day, I applied to a ton of minimum-to-slightly-above-minimum wage jobs, stuff like McDonalds, Lowes, Aldi, Walmart, Burger King, Starbucks, etc.

As a bit of a laugh, I also applied to a software engineer job I found on Craigslist, for no other reason than "why the hell not".

None of the minimum wage jobs called me back. Not a single one! You know who called me back, and eventually made an offer? The software engineering job.

After that I realized something; in a bizarre bit of logic, the less qualified you are for a position, the more willing a company might be to overlook a lack of qualifications. Demand simply exceeded supply for software, and despite the fact that the job posting had a "strong requirement" for a bachelors in Computer Science, they simply didn't have enough applicants to be picky, and thus they hired me, since I more or less knew how to program. So many jobs that "require" a degree simply don't. If you can prove that you know what you're doing, that's usually good enough.

Obviously there are sometimes legal requirements that require a degree, but those feel like very much the exception.
Ask HN: Advice on Writing Bilingual App?
I can do something like `isEspanol ? Cosas : Things` everywhere, but I'd like to be able to support a third language at some point if I needed to. Does anyone have strong opinions about building an app for more than one language in a sane and sustainable way?
Microsoft's demo wasn't perfect but everyone worth listening to has been saying ChatGPT is fallible this whole time. It was well within expectations.

Google however came in with a different expectation. I remember something about one of their execs disparaging OpenAI over inaccuracies before. If you are going to sling mud, you had better make sure you don't have the same problem. Or it makes you look like a fool.
Uber also is famous for having a GIANT app binary for "what should be a simple app", which they've gone on record as defending as necessary for international use. Maybe they didn't want to or couldn't continue to bloat the app.
The conclusion (gross oversimplification) I came to yesterday is that these ML chatbots are basically just sophisticated madlibs. It's really misleading to even describe them as AI as they're not intelligences, but just rehashing things previously written by other humans (and I guess now other ML bots). They're not going to spit out anything completely new. That requires intelligence.
Ugh I used to love Pocket Cast, even sprung for the paid app.

Then they changed their monetization model to a subscription and left their previous customers with... nothing.

Screw them.
Sure, but there are plenty of other uncomfortable truths too.

White people are way over represented on arrests for alcohol-related crimes, whereas Black people are in-line with population, for example. [0,1]

Black people are way more likely to be arrested for loitering and curfew violations too (I was unaware that's even a crime category in the US).

Let's also not ignore that White people over-index on sex-crimes.

Adding to that, black people are also the victim of a disproportionate amount of crimes [2]

Overall, the point I'm making is the problem with your statements is the intellectually lazy framing. I agree it's a major problem that black people are arrested for violent crimes at a disproportionate rate, but let's look at the problem wholistically, otherwise we aren't fulfilling the point of this forum. It is just as important of a question to understand any racial disparities in data, not just the ones that get people riled up online.

I think it was his move to spotify that was the inflection point. I used to watch a handful of his podcasts on youtube each year, whenever I saw that he had interesting guests on (and not just his unfunny comedian friends or MMA fighters...) But since he moved to spotify I haven't seen a single one of his interviews. I'm not installing some dumb app to watch a dump ape a few times a year.
You're on the right track. It's a perennial favorite of devs to abhor flakyness, whereas after spending enough time as a tester, you come to terms with the fact that you have to take your tests as a statistical probe because most places test systems are simply not that reliable; sometimes, this is even a design feature.

This experience as a tester is in fact a normalization of deviance from the ideal computation model of a developer. Everything should work the first time everytime from their point of view. The tester sees reality as it is. The Emperor won't fund my test systems sufficiently to service all my customers, so we make do ss best we can. Bonus points in that we get to exercise the edge cases.
