And that's the issue at play here, isn't it? The hiring was done when work was remote, paying SV rates for that, then the company decides to move the goalposts and now there's this weird justification being played to side with the company.

Take off your company-man hat, does it make sense to you as a worker?
At best, from that Google Trends, all you can really say is that people are _more interested in news about Twitter_ than previously (which is frankly unsurprising); it tells you nothing about usage of Twitter one way or another.

Slack still has .deb files you just need to scroll down and find the small button for it. https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/downloads/linux search for "Download .DEB app". Last I checked they also have an Ubuntu only dependency that has a Debian equivalent but they don't list it so it won't install unless you modify the dependency list. I used the following script to do so, but I haven't updated in a while.

#!/bin/sh

tmp_dir="$(mktemp -d)"
dpkg-deb -R "$1" "${tmp_dir}" && sed -i 's/libappindicator3-1/libayatana-appindicator3-1/g' "${tmp_dir}/DEBIAN/control" && dpkg-deb -b "${tmp_dir}" slack-fixed.deb

Most men who have problems in this area are not going on dates. They are not even meeting women. I do not think it has much to do with hobbies.
It's not whether it's a burden or help, those words have connotations associated with them.

The type system is objectively overhead, because it forces you to think about the types in your program, so it consumes mental bandwidth.

You and I might decide the cost is well worth it, but you cannot ignore that there is a cost. In the real world, many companies didn't always want to incur that cost in the beginning, so they built their products using scripting languages, Python/PHP/Ruby, etc and only much later added types via annotations or features of the language. Even C++ recognizes that there is a sizable overhead and introduced auto types.

Your /dev/random example makes no sense because it would not generate a working program, so it would not be popular.

There is no 'good for you'. Is the type system good for you if it slows down your velocity? Are dynamic types good for you if you get an exception deep in the code one hour before launch because someone was adding a string to a number?

There are only trade-offs. You either make the right trade-off (even by luck) given some set of goals and limitations, or you don't and pay the price one way or the other.
If you take the thread's stated pros (low barrier to entry, experimental scripting workflow) and cons ([not] fast, compilable, no GIL) at face value, it's interesting evidence for what really matters compared to what needs to be merely acceptable for a ML language.

The thing neither of them list which is absolutely enormous is the breadth and quality of boring general purpose stuff in Python. It's a big deal that you can write a production grade web app or api in the same language you do modeling work in.
aka divide and conquer, split the possibilities, isolate the problem, etc, etc.

I mean, we already know about existing "dark" matter particles. The Neutrino comes to mind, though it's not massive enough to explain the gravitational phenomena. LCDM really isn't that weird or unexpected, since it's a lot like what we already observe, and we already think more particles should exist.
That's only part of the story. There's other reasons, many of which have been improved over the years. For example the font cache would be generated on first launch, which was a slow operation. This was moved to happen when the snap is installed, which meant the install took longer, but first launch was much faster. For me, today, the Firefox snap and the Firefox deb take pretty much exactly the same amount of time.

We have a loneliness epidemic and we have just invented language models that are exceedingly good at acting like humans and even mimic emotions and personality (and even when we do our best to try and prevent them from showing emotion, it still bleeds through).

I've tried Replika and some of these other AI friends (who are more and more pivoting to being AI girlfriends), and they seem so far from state of the art. My guess is we're a few months away from gpt3-level (or better) chatbots aimed less and productivity and information and more at romance/sex/friendship and its going to change the world as we know it.
Ideally before downloading the extension. However, with automatic updates, this is nearly useless. Malicious code can be injected at any time in the future, long after the user audits the code.

I was a fan of LeCun back in the early 2000's when his review papers showed me the way to build industrial text classifiers.

That said, in 1999 I rage quit Python because somebody retabbed a file and sent it back to me and spent a while debugging a logic problem caused by a spacing change that was invisible in my text editor. I got dragged back into Python in the mid 2010's because there was so much ML and science work that people wanted me to do. That's how Python survived the near death experience of the 2 -> 3 transition, it found a new community of users who could start working in Python 3 and who often didn't have the usual industrial concerns about backwards compatibility.

If you were going to bitch about Python today though it would be (1) generic brokenness in environments because of (a) the site local directory, (b) misconfigured charsets, (c) other misconfigurations and also (2) pip not correctly resolving complex projects, and (3) distractions like conda that claim to make things better but actually make them slightly worse.

I worked at a place that was developing ML models in Python that struggled with all of the above, by the time I really understood the problems the company had decided to move away from Python. It was worse back then because we were running models in different versions of Tensorflow that required different versions of CUDA. If you installed software the way NVIDIA tells you to do that would involve a lot of logging in, click, click, clicking and watching progress bars crawl slowly, but I did figure out how to package CUDA libs in conda although conda drove me nuts because it uses bzip2 compression that had me looking at progress bars crawl slowly all the time.

Today there has been a lot of reform and it is not so bad as it was but there is still the insanity that the best Python libs can do is code like

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

see https://sbert.net/

where it really should be more like

pip install all-MiniLM-L6-v2

and it is just unacceptable to me in an industrial environment to have the script itself download a 400MB model as opposed to managing models in the deployment system. (Somehow schemes like the above wind up downloading the model 20 times when you only need to download it 1, stash 20 copies of the model in different files, corrupt the files, etc.)

one last source for 26+ for first birth already in 2014: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db232.htm

the original cdc numbers cited are perhaps not best way to look at the matter, because they include women who were giving birth in 80s and 90s.
Ultimately this would be true for most anomalies. It's one of the reasons commercial air travel is as safe as it is.

So the mistake was to leave the footer disclaimer in the email admitting it was AI generated or the mistake was using AI in the first place? If a human came up with the exact same words and the footer said “100% human writing” there would also be people upset?
I'll venture a guess:

For the human individual person, the interests (the goal) is to care for their health; but amazon is a corporation: for them the real goal is profit, not health.

I'm saying that for the human the incentives should be all about health. the money, the costs are the "obstacle".

On the other hand, for the corporation the incentives are the profit. The health is a cost (or "obstacle").

with this 'frame' in mind I'm saying the incentives are not aligned on their own because the priorities are in conflict.

What's truly the problem here, is how healthy patients aren't 'good' customers of health-services. Then again, this is not a problem unique to Amazon, but they're getting into this 'rodeo'.

Personally I think Pandas gets too much credit, credit which really belongs with Numpy, and which was probably the reason that Pandas was built on it, rather than say, Ruby, which in the late 2000s was a contender. This is especially true in the world of ML. Pandas is incredibly convenient (clone as it started out being, after all, of R's eponymous DataFrame, which is also incredibly convenient for feature engineering), but it's Numpy that does the heavy lifting.
I'm fairly convinced this is the next iteration of that. In the last 6 years I feel like there has been a massive focus on 'content moderation' which was just an attempt to direct and bias information that was being used to power a lot of the models we see today.
congrats on launch, OP.

personally i cant wait for starters to become unnecessary. the need for all these PxMxN permutations of tech stacks is just untenable. great place for some handwavy AI action here.
A problem to consider:

Arbitrarily complex programs makes even defining what is and isnt a bug arbitrarily complex

Did you want the computer to switch off at random button press; did you want two processes to swap half their memory. Maybe, maybe not

A second problem to consider is that verification is arbitrarily harder than simply running a program -- often to the extent of being impossible, even for sensible and useful functionality. This is why programs that get verified either don't allocate or do bounded allocations. But unbounded allocation is useful

It is possible to push proven or sanboxed parts across the kernel boundary. Maybe we should increase those opportunities?

Also separate address spaces simplify separate threads -- since they do not need to keep updating a single shared address space. So L1 and L2 cache should definitely give address separation. Page tables is one way to maintain that illusion for the shared resource of main memory... Probably a good thing

That's not to say there isn't a lot of space to explore your idea. It is probably an idea worth following

One final thought: verification is complex because computers are complex. Simplifying how processes interact at the hardware level. Shifts the burden of verification from arbitrarily long running and arbitrarily complex and changing software; to verifying fixed and predefined limitations on functionality. That second one has got to be the easier to verify

By far the worst take in the comments.

Google missed the boat and focused on the completely wrong things and yet Android is at 70%+ phone OS market share.

my latest $0/mo venture (negative dollars/mo, really) is another advocacy-type site -- a quiz site for the Atlanta Beltline (a circular rail-trail inside ATL) -- designed to help promote good behavior on the Beltline -- yeah, kind of cringey, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

https://beltlinequiz.com/

it uses wordpress, hdquiz (free+ quiz plugin), Raft Theme (free+ theme), TinyLetter (newsletters), and some custom non-ai artwork.

i built it on this stack because my own mini-kb/lms (learning mgmt system) is not even alpha yet. :-(

if you don't know about the Beltline, and you're into urban planning/livability/biking/walking/etc., you might wanna check it out. insane gentrification engine, and opposing that, possibly helping promote livability.
mind blown, it was so much more useful than the pages google finds.
If a significant number of people you work with are in the office regularly, then you have to be in the same office as them to thrive. If you want an environment where full remote work is possible then you need to ensure at least 80% of the people do not go to the office at all in any given month. If you get above 20% of the people going to the office on anything approaching a regular basis, those people will start talking to each other, and since face to face conversations are so much easier they will leave other people out of the decision process.

With extra effort you can work anyway, but it needs special effort. I know of teams that have team meetings with everyone at their desk, headphones on all called into the same call. Those in the office get annoyed by the weirdness of hearing their neighbor speak and then a moment later hearing the same in their headset, but they have learned to tune that out and only listen to the headset because that is the only way for the one remote person to stay involved.
Counterfactual hypotheses are untestable and are of little interest other than for social banter and light conversation. "If only we had done this, this might have happened..."

Reading the tea leaves and forecasting the future has never been a very successful enterprise, and doing so in hindsight isn't much better. This behavioral tendency was explained by Frank Herbert, among others:

But simultaneously you won't be looking at that giant monitor from the same distance, but much further away. So it really shouldn't make that much of a difference as long as the angular resolution checks out.

I've currently got a 32" one running 1080p, from a normal viewing distance I can't see any pixels at all. Going beyond that and having to render 4x as much already seems super gratuitous. 8K is just completely ridiculous unless you're projecting a DnD game board or something that will be viewed up close.
From my personal experience I have seen this disparity in the extreme, since I studied physics where the gender ratio was very unbalanced. I knew many guys who had some trouble socializing, but were very nice people, and they did not get any attention from women.

Yes, even if AI-generated code becomes more ubiquitous, software engineers would still be needed to keep it running, improve it, tweak it, etc.

That means that a better language with the same ecosystem would be even better. And that's the point.
> I see social structures having far more influence [...]

I don't know. If that were true, then we as a society would just architect our C/C++ based projects such that we don't bump into memory safety issues. Instead we see something like 70% of security issues coming from memory unsafety across the board.

The premise seems legit when thinking about it in terms of the issues with C.

So Apple would spend probably over 100 billion dollars to buy TSMC and make them a less profitable company by not serving other companies?

All this would do would weaken TSMC and strengthen other chip manufacturers for a couple years of absolute chip dominance. But they already have chip dominance, so it is for essentially zero gain.
It's good marketing though. Denmark lucked out having some very successful/famous designers for a few decades and the government wants to capitalize on that. Maybe that goes against Danish sensibilities a bit (most Danes are pretty humble; bragging is taboo, etc.) but ultimately it's probably a boon for the economy?
Hottest take: it’s not a useful question, certainly not for exploration on Twitter.

If you want to argue the murky depths of counterfactuals where little can be proved then it’s going to take more space than awkwardly formatted twitter conversation threads.
Sure, but they need to be spaced out. Too many people quitting at once means you can't get replacements for the positions you need trained and then those jobs don't done. Resignations are great when you can take someone from a position you don't want done at all anymore to one you still need done.
If you're insinuating I'm miserable, you are wrong.

I'm plenty happy living my life as I see fit, and I don't see marriage as a potential addition to that happiness. It's as simple as that.
Yeah the more I think about it the more this makes sense to me.

Both were lighter than expected (so if it was a swap with another aircraft we wouldn't necessarily know - possible that 4 aircraft got the wrong data and we don't know the other two).

But it feels more likely that the sums just failed and they incorrectly caught the failures instead of letting it fall out. catch(e){} is a bug factory for sure.
Oh yea sure, and the dev in Butte will get to decide the minimum salary, so the guy in Seattle can get fucked.

>That morning, a software bug in an update to the DynamicSource tool caused it to provide seriously undervalued weights for the airplanes.

The real issue question here is how often do they patch this software? Airline control software should not be optimized for feature velocity. It should be optimized for quality and change really slowly.

Ideally, we would have as few updates to this software as possible. We're the pilots informed that the software had updated that morning?

I worry that our increasing comfort with updating constantly broken software bleeds into systems like this that matter for people's lives. Apple has me updating almost weekly because they can't seem to write exploit free software, but my iPhone is not going to kill me. That attitude is not Ok for airplanes.

It does seem plausible, but also almost heinous design if true.
I think we think this is unusual, but I think the idea that we have a 1-1 matching between men and women is a very recent development (last few hundred years). We are probably just regressing to a longer term average where the average male can expect to have no reproductive success at all.

"Once upon a time, 4,000 to 8,000 years after humanity invented agriculture, something very strange happened to human reproduction. Across the globe, for every 17 women who were reproducing, passing on genes that are still around today—only one man did the same."

"Another member of the research team, a biological anthropologist, hypothesizes that somehow, only a few men accumulated lots of wealth and power, leaving nothing for others. These men could then pass their wealth on to their sons, perpetuating this pattern of elitist reproductive success. Then, as more thousands of years passed, the numbers of men reproducing, compared to women, rose again. "Maybe more and more people started being successful," Wilson Sayres says. In more recent history, as a global average, about four or five women reproduced for every one man."
