No, that's years in the future at least. Factoring 21 without any compilation tricks requires doing a modular exponentiation under superposition. The best known way to do that requires two registers of workspace (10 qubits), plus a teensy bit of breathing room (2 qubits), so call it a dozen logical qubits. If all compilation tricks are banned, even the ones that are reasonable for huge numbers but work a bit too well for small numbers such as using small lookup tables to fuse some of the multiplications together, the overall computation takes on the order of 10000 gates. If you require it to work in one or two shots (otherwise even random coin flipping will work), then those gates need to have error rates below one in a hundred thousand and your storage needs error rates per round below one in ten million.

The experiment being announced here is testing different ways storing 1 error corrected qubit, to show that making it bigger can make it better. On an absolute scale, that logical qubit is still not good enough. It needs to be made even bigger. And there needs to be a dozen of them instead of one. And it's barely breaking even; you want strong gains in quality from adding quantity not just minor gains. This means the underlying physical qubits still need more improvement. There's a lot to do!

It's different in sectors which aren't going to go through some things, places which are expanding rather than freaking out about dropping ad revenue and the end of zero interest rates. OpenAI / Microsoft, various energy sectors, and Palantir / miltech come to mind.

Life in a contracting industry sucks as a general rule, Meta has presumably decided that shedding weight is worth the nth-order effects. It's a strong signal to move on or start cultivating new skills now IMO.

> Employee morale doesn't matter when the market is full of hireable workforce (when/if they hire).

I'd take the bet that it takes just as much time on average for Meta to hire a new engineer as it did before 2021, across all levels, including junior engineers.

A large population of engineers let go from other companies does not equal 1) those engineers wanting to work for Meta 2) the engineers who want to work for Meta can pass Meta's interview process or have the qualifications.
I work in quantitative research. A cell with 13 or 25 respondents in it ought to be used with caution, but is not necessarily underpowered. My "rule of thumb" is that, given a well-represented and properly weighted sample, having 30+ in a given cell when crosstabbing like this is healthy, and 10+ per cell is the bare minimum I will accept - with caution.
Endgame in my country is that pregnant women cannot be imprisoned for any reason, plus a couple of years post birth; we have cases where they get pregnant again and again until the prison sentence ends, so they never spend a day in prison.

It is used sometimes as a "get out of jail card" as a woman that is already in prison can get pregnant to get out.

Are there any new facts being reported on here or is this solely a regurgitation of the "we would like to flatten management" from the employee all-hands a few weeks ago?

> At the end of the day they're a business. In America, I can't think of many things that have priority over capitalism (profit over all).

Huh? They could be better, but we have anti-corruption laws because fairness has priority over some degree of profit, we have worker protection laws because worker rights take priority over some degree of profit, we have occupational safety laws and health benefit laws because health takes priority over some degree of profit, we have a zillion laws that plainly demonstrate that social priorities often take some degree of priority over profit.

Social media is a new industry and we're working out the rules. Engagement optimization turns out to be detrimental to society's well-being, so yeah... we're probably going to figure out a way to assert that through law and regulation, and some participants might see their business model impacted along the way.

As a start-up*, you shouldn't use Kubernetes managed by GKE, EKS, etc; you should use bare metal Kubernetes: "server rack" somewhere near your desk, 3 virtualized nodes with Ubuntu, MetalLB as load balancer, local-storage StorageClass with cron backups on another machine, Prometheus with Grafana for monitoring, CertManager DNS01 with Let's Encrypt for SSL, Contour/Traefik for routing, self host Docker registry, self host CI, Minio for object storage, Mongo/Postgres/etc. for database, Redis for caching. First setup time: 1-2 days, maybe one week to work out the kinks. Initial cost: ~$500 for a refurbished Dell/HP server, or go extreme with 3 RaspberryPis. Monthly cost: local electricity price, internet monthly fee. Current uptime with the above setup: 139 days (had a power outage 139 days ago, previous uptime was around 200 days).

* start-up: endeavour started with negative, $0, or close to $0 in bank counting time to market in years; not a start-up (maybe a start-middle): company with millions in VC money hoping for time to market yesterday.
Nah, Americanly I’ll say: we are happy to give away your language to whoever wants it. Re-spin it for local convenience, cut off bits that are inconvenient, get rid of all those stupid extra “u’s.”

It was wildly over-complicated to start, but soon enough we’ll have morphed it into Earth Business Basic. It is great to learn a language to appreciate the culture that it comes from of course, but for business purposes American is the way to go. :p

CRDTs is how sync issues become non-issues. The “correct sync” is deterministically determined by the CRDT conflict resolution algorithm. There can be multiple DBs/stores per app or per user or per whatever makes sense. One big global DB/store broken down to millions of DBs/stores.
If this where true then the labor would be gobbled up by the market regardless of how the labor in the U.S. feels. So the obvious question is, if you're so worried about it, why isn't it already happening?
Some backscratching was done to make someone look the other way. Now a new government wants to shake Meta to fill the treasury. Just one possible explanation.
What does that have to do with the affirmative act they undertake of promoting certain materials? That's the issue - not that they punt thing, but that they promote things and that promoting things isn't the same as just hosting third party uploaded content. They take that third party content and show it to people to generate interest and advertising revenue. That's not the same thing as blindly hosting.
Did that ever reach a conclusion? All I can find are articles from last year (https://archive.ph/YaKxL). Also, planning a wedding would not be out of the job description of something like an executive assistant - their whole point is to do busywork and personal-life logistics so that the executive focuses more fully on their work.
But... caste based employment discrimination is (arguably in court) permitted in the US. Discrimination protections are only for categories specified and caste isn't specified.

Who said anything of their desire to return to work?
You've got it wrong entirely. Just because you dissolve discrimination, it doesn't magically kill segregation. Castes were created way back when they were used to classify people based on the work they do, and young ones continued in the steps of their older generations in their job so it was a mere classification of their family's work. Then it started going ugly when people in respectable jobs wanted to protect themselves from "outsiders" taking their jobs away.
But it just doesn't make sense anymore. No one is following their elders' job anymore. The caste system itself must be outlawed even to mention it.
As long as you still try to identify someone based on their caste, you are encouraging segregation. Govt forms must not include an outdated classification.
I shouldn't show proof of my caste to get a college admission. Marriages must not made based on it.
I kid you not, I was personally rejected from marriage with the woman I was in a relationship based on my caste.banning Discrimination did snt do shit.
The Wired article’s title is frustrating. I’m pretty sure the Supreme Court does “understand the internet.” The judge I clerked for wrote the original decision that struck down most of the CDA except Section 230, which the Supreme Court later affirmed. If you go read that decision, it’s got a pretty accurate description of the internet: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/we... (see Findings of Fact).

For example it talks about routing:

> “The Internet uses ‘packet switching’ communication protocols that allow individual messages to be subdivided into smaller ‘packets’ that are then sent independently to the destination, and are then automatically reassembled by the receiving computer. While all packets of a given message often travel along the same path to the destination, if computers along the route become overloaded, the packets can be re-routed to less loaded computers.”

And that was back in the 1990s. What people seem to really mean when they say “the Supreme Court doesn’t understand X” is that the Supreme Court doesn’t share the values they associate with X. That’s almost certainly the case. From the Supreme Court’s view, the internet is just another part of the national economy. They don’t understand or care about the distinct cultural values of people in that sector.
Then we can use those results for training an AI-generated-content-flagging AI, and ouch my head I think I need to go lie down for a while now.
I wonder why they reported 53% interested in remote (rather than 52%, which is 13/25).
The damages are only $300k. It's very easy to cause that much damage or more doing a bunch of things, like injuring or killing someone, buring down a house or business, etc.

I'm not convinced he was reckless in going hiking. He was reckless in how he set the fire. That was the main part of my comment - that almost anyone who needs to be rescued could be found to be reckless or negligent based on the armchair logic that because I would have packed X and you didn't, that makes you reckless. You had a heart attack and had to be flown out of the backcountry. Guess you're reckless for not packing an AED... etc

If it were really so simple to know what you needed, there would be codified equipment requirements for use of public land based on your intended activity. Yet even the private lists of what to being vary wildly.

I'm sure there are lots of legal definitions, but generally price gouging is the practice of bumping up prices in an emergency situation or any other case where the consumer is desperate and helpless to do anything but to just pay you what you ask.

Using Pulumi and Terraform don't really make your setup cloud-agnostic. The config becomes cloud-specific very quickly due to the differences between the providers.

Kubernetes, in and of itself, only makes a few core things somewhat cloud agnostic (compute, LBs, and volumes). You can use those primitives to run cloud-agnostic alternatives to managed services within your cluster, but for most startups that's going to be a premature optimization.
I want to be a Barista FIRE - meaning, I actually enjoy talking to other humans and performing a task in exchange for money. I don't want that to dominate my personality and I don't want to NEED that job. In my later years, I hope to be lucky enough to work for fun and not to survive.

That's what I'm aiming for. Full-on retirement seems boring.

> that's a model for which we don't have any observational evidence whatsoever since it's the black hole's interior

While this is true, it's not a very strong statement. Physicists extend models all the time into domains where we can't directly test them. The singularity theorems of GR guarantee that the key features of that model, the singularity and the collapsing matter getting destroyed in it, must be true as long as the collapsing matter has the equation of state of ordinary matter. That's why the phase transition I mentioned, to an equation of state corresponding to dark energy, is necessary to avoid forming the singularity and leaving only vacuum in the interior--because the dark energy equation of state violates the energy conditions that are premises of the singularity theorems.

> Any sensible definition of mass of the vacuum black hole (i.e. not necessarily the ADM mass since it's defined at infinity but e.g. some definition of quasi-local mass) will still give a non-zero contribution to the mass density.

Sure, but this "mass" is not due to the continuing presence of matter somewhere inside the hole. It's a property of the spacetime geometry.
Have you ever witnessed the struggle of addiction, either you or someone in your family?
It's been a while since I started learning Rust, and have the advantage of learning new constructs as they are being implemented before they even hit stable, so I find it hard to put myself in your shoes. Could you give some examples of alien syntax whose functionality you couldn't extrapolate from other constructs? rust-analyzer does provide on-hover documentation for keywords and (some) sigils, but it isn't as discoverable as it could be and I can believe that there are documentation "bugs" of missing explanations for specific use-cases, even in The Book!
I wonder why they didn't make it a superset of JSON5.

Your view is far too tech centric. People old enough to be retirees are unlikely to work in tech/SW development but more stuff like law, medicine or traditional engineering where local credentials matter and act as gate keeping, so it's highly unlikely they'll face competition from abroad.

Mostly tech workers are at risk from remote work negatively impacting their wages.

Wait, a time capsule? The parody article titles all basically showed up over the last week on the serious HN.
Facebook applies some magic to decide which posts show up in your feed and which comments show up at the top of those posts.

When a metric like “engagement” is optimized for, this seems to result in controversial/divisive content making its way to the top. So yes, Facebook is a medium, but it is a medium that encourages certain content by rewarding it with more eyeballs and interaction than other content.

As a contrast, Reddit’s default sort is “best” which tends to put higher scored comments towards the top. Users have the choice of sorting by controversial, but that is transparent to the user that that’s what they’re getting. Reddit’s downvote lets users effectively shun content in a way that Facebook doesn’t - this has its trade offs, as it seems to encourage groupthink and echo chambers.

That's a lot of wishful thinking for an enormous enterprise loaded up with red tape, regulatory entities breathing down their necks, a whole-company strategy going exactly nowhere, and now a bad reputation in this field for repeated layoffs.
This might be a dumb question, but is this based on the collective wisdom of HN. Because I would say that the collective wisdom is just as much in the interaction of the comments and the ranking of those comments as it is in the comments themselves. If you just injest all the comments wholesale, aren't you rather getting the average wisdom of HN?
Unfortunately none of this matters. The narrative has been firmly established. Republicans overwhelmingly believe the 2020 presidential election was rigged. Furthermore, this story won't show up in any conservative press, so Republicans will never see it anyway.
I agree, given what I laid out it's not something the market can provide
This is a forum that tends to attract entrepreneurs. People that hope to grow something small into something big and learn the lessons that can take them through that journey.

So it seems to me, it's a perfectly reasonable point out failures of business leadership that result in worse business performance, as they see it.
My comment is not meant to preclude that. I do not expect to get a complete analysis of a situation from internet comments.

I would be shocked if Walmart hasn't done the research to determine how high they can raise prices in a given area before people venture further out or to competitors. I'd be willing to bet affluence of area and distance to alternatives are significant factors in the pricing algorithm.
I have FB app installed on my phone for one reason only - occasional search on the Marketplace. And the button that brings up Marketplace is being moved around every time I open the app. Maybe it’s so that I have to look for it every time, and thus forced to see what else is there? I don’t know. But it does feel to me that the company that engages in such cheap tricks can’t be doing that well.
I'd be surprised. Doing quick napkin math, there were very roughly 4.710^30 particles of vinyl chloride released. Google says there are 4.610^46 molecules of water in the ocean (I can't vouch for that). So the concentration would be something like 0.0000000001 ppm.

And that's only counting the ocean, not air or freshwater or dirt.

I don't know if that's in the realm of detectable, but I think it's certainly not significant.

The local effects could be bad, but I don't think there will be any kind of global effects.

Agree 100%. 20yrs ago I worked with multiple teams from India, and we always seemed to have language, skill, and expectation gaps ("the work is done" did not always mean it was done). Now, the India teams are very skilled, speak good/great English, and the expectation gaps are much closer.

> If the interior of a black hole becomes a vaccume, what continues to assert the intense gravitational pull that the now destroyed matter once created?

The spacetime geometry of the hole. The "pull" you describe is a property of the spacetime geometry. Gravity is not a force in GR, so the "pull" is not being caused by an interaction with matter. Objects moving solely under gravity simply move on geodesics of the spacetime geometry.

\tangent The Innovator's Dilemma recounts a similar scene in 1994 - except the players don't connect. The big manufacturers couldn't find customers, and the customer couldn't find a seller. His point was about big companies being "captive" to their present customers, and to "the financial structure and
organizational culture" of the value network.

But the manufacturers just thought they were ahead of the market. Given this iPod story from 2000, maybe they were.
I'd begin developing a very portable, very comfortable programming language and environment. Something akin to Pascal or Python, portable like Lua or SCUMM, less philosophical than Lisp or Smalltalk.

It's happening very slowly but it's happening. In my Eastern European country tech wages shot up immensely after the Covid WFH boom thanks to American companies hiring here a lot.

In the US 80k+ is a bottom junior wage but here it's a king's ransom considering the lower taxes and lower CoL, so there's talented seniors willing to grind long hours and work on US timezones for that kind of cheese. I assume it's similar in Latin-AM and Asia.

So far it probably hasn't noticeably impacted US wages as there was an endless stream of free money pouring from the sky which enabled tech companies to keep hiring mostly US talent and grow much faster than off-shore talent onboarding could reliably be done, but now that the negative rate money printing bonanza is over, and the companies figured out how to better work fully remote and how to screen for quality off-shore talent, US companies without the massive war-chests that FAANGs have might focus more on talent from abroad to stay profitable.
