I've definitely been feeling deflated. Every angle I've come up with... some project has narrowly shipped before me. And they gain so much popularity so quickly that mindshare per project becomes a power law overnight. It's like the first person to release is at the top of the App Store, and there's no unseating them; the feedback loop is already too powerful. It very much feels like first to release wins. And I swear, the quality of the code I've seen in some of these projects that are getting thousands of stars is abysmal. It's making me think releasing vaporware in order to capture mindshare, then actually building something valuable is the only way to compete.
I apparently got signed up for some company on my work email and now I get a series of emails from some B2B company. I unsubscribe. Next day, another company. Unsubscribe. Next day, another company.

Its trivial, but it's so fucking annoying that I've visualized doing violent things as I hit unsubscribe.
That’s why passive investing is great for the regular investor, provided a little research is done to avoid buy and “hope” trap…

I promise you most people do not know this.
so, if you are running macOS, you can't be a power user?

Is that what you are implying here? If so, you can't be more wrong.

Just try disabling auto updates of an application like Spotify or Chrome on both Windows and macOS w/o relying on a thrid party tool and let me know how this seemingly simple task that a so called "power user" might need went for you on Windows compared to macOS.
You can encode an image just like you encode a text prompt. The diffusers library does this in the image variation pipeline: https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffu...

And you can merge that encoded image with an encoded text prompt, if you wish.

This is presumably something different if its actually altering the weights of the model. It sounds like they figured out how to run a huge learning rate without training exploding?

One round of layoffs at every company is just coming off the hiring bender of the last few years.

But a second... that portends a third... and a general collapse of tech a la the dotcom crash.

I had't been too worried yet, despite feeling lucky to have dodged the customary 7% at my company, but this news is starting to make me worry. Hopefully it's just Meta being in a uniquely bad position.
Might as well call it ConCon for what it really is.
I don't understand how this is possible. I recently rode in a Tesla with FSD engaged. In a span of 10 minutes it tried to run a red light, failed to change lanes, and failed to get off the freeway offramp. These were all vanilla scenarios with perfect San Diego weather and well-lit, well-labeled paths and signs.

Occam's razor in a situation where a hype man promised step-function improvements for well over a decade is that this is not an honest assessment or an assessment not based on honest data.

The primary reason why people leave CA is housing prices not "fed up with CA govt", that's a story that the right wing likes to tell, but it basically comes down to the fact that housing is unaffordable. CA ranks #11 in taxes (there's like 7-8 red states ahead of it https://wallethub.com/edu/best-worst-states-to-be-a-taxpayer...) for average households. People like to wax on about the top 13.3% rate, but very few people pay that, while at the same time, property taxes are atypically low.

The main reason comes down to this: Median home price in CA is >$700,000, 2x-3x the rest of the nation (except Hawaii). Now there are government reasons why housing construction is lower, but there's also reasons why demand is so high: people have flocked to CA during economic booms. During the 90s dot-com boom, a 2-bedroom apartment in the Bay Are went from $1200 to $3400. After the 2000 dot-com crash, it dropped back down. Then, after 2009, prices climbed again.

You have a large number of white collar professionals wanting to be in the area (yes, despite the 'California exodus' story that keeps getting told, CA still is a net brain drain on the rest of the nation for professionals according to government stats https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/2019...), and you have existing home owners voting NIMBY to make it harder to accommodate them, the result is prices spiking.
My perspective is the line of questioning was to suggest having no exposure to China. At best other companies just reduced exposure to that one state in China or avoided the output of that state. I can completely see a standard thats not different enough than exposure to other major markets to go further than that.

If you have a different view on what he was responding to at all, then I could see why you would say that.

Feels like we are in the midst of a live experiment wherein we find out just how overstaffed tech companies are.
One way to analyze this is to ignore if Autopilot is on at the moment of a crash and make a gross comparison of Autopilot equipped vehicles accidents rate over mileage. A side stat would be if possible to see of there is a correlation between amount of Autopilot on time vs accident rate (again ignoring if ap is on at the moment of a crash).

This is answering a different question than is Autopilot effective when on, but is Autopilot capability + the human employment of it create an observable effect in accident rates.
Now.. for those interested in this: with the KIM Uno you can actually run the Apple 1 software
https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/kim-uno-apple-...

Look on Ebay for kits, then a cheap USB-to-TTL connector and you too can run Wozniak's best from your top of the line mac/pc. The disassembler is crazy powerfull given the size of the executable.

The same KIM uno (6502 emulation from Arduino Uno) runs KIM, a contemporary of Apple 1 (with much better documentation, check archive.org) and a masterpiece of engineering: Microchess from Peter Jennings (not that one). Microchess, was at the time (and arguably still is) software that is just so unbelievably brilliant thay it must have been recovered from the Roswell crash site, just like whatever Fabrice Bellard puts out these days.

Not saying that the 6502 was the best thing in the computer industry, but then again, yeah maybe it was.
It is actually not permissible to duel. You can engage in "friendly combat", but duelling to restore your honor is both illegal and dishonorable. (The German fraternities, which are responsible for these fights, gave their word of honor that there would be no more duels to satisfy insults to honor)

It is also an extremely stupid idea that scars are somehow an "authentic mark". As somebody who fought three of those "mensuren": Scars are a sign that you thought you are better than you actually are. It's the embodiment of "Dunning Kruger walks here".
Just bear in mind that, as of a couple of years ago, the average age of a car on the road was 12 years.
Maybe this will be true in the years going forward, but AFAIK even in 2022 they were still considered top tier FAANG to work for among new grads, if only for the fact that compensation is generally somewhat higher than their peers.

What is wrong with using the style of an entity which by definition of being dead is beyond caring? Should we hold off in perpetuity, such that we not copy the style of Michaelangelo lest sensibilities be ruffled? What even is this platonic ideal form of one's "style"? Is this interpretation of the artist's work not a creative endeavor in itself? It didn't create itself de novo, after all. A human ultimately directed a machine to perform a task. If you want to really get down to how I feel about copyright in the age of AI, consider that a number can't be copyrighted in the US and yet any image file can ultimately be represented by a sufficiently large binary number. The creative spirit of the American people has been bottled up by corporations for far too long.

Use MongoDB Shell to Connect to Tigris the OSS Alternative to MongoDB Atlas
The MongoDB Shell, mongosh, is one of the standard tools used to interact with MongoDB deployments. In this post, I will demonstrate using mongosh with Tigris.

You will see that you do not have to create a MongoDB Atlas cluster. m1k.preview.tigrisdata.cloud is a serverless deployment we will use. It has built-in automatic database sharding, meaning that, unlike MongoDB Atlas, you must never worry about sharding or shard keys, and the data distribution is automatically handled.

Without knowing details of what you're talking about, I'd put money on any Big Tech outfit as the guilty party when it comes to privacy mistakes, double-dipping, dark patterns, hostile nag-patterns, overreach and stealing from the cookie jar.

I think it'll all come down to the journal's integrity. academia will have to learn to negotiate the premiums of their library subscriptions for better editing/curation for each journal they subscribe to. its already pay to play, might as well get your money's worth.
Counterpoint: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2023/2/22/23609499/masks-...

emphasis, mine

"The review includes 78 studies. Only six were actually conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic, so the bulk of the evidence the Cochrane team took into account wasn’t able to tell us much about what was specifically happening during the worst pandemic in a century.

Instead, most of them looked at flu transmission in normal conditions, and many of them were about other interventions like hand-washing. Only two of the studies are about Covid and masking in particular.

Furthermore, neither of those studies looked directly at whether people wear masks, but instead at whether people were encouraged or told to wear masks by researchers. If telling people to wear masks doesn’t lead to reduced infections, it may be because masks just don’t work, or it could be because people don’t wear masks when they’re told, or aren’t wearing them correctly."

> Besides, sufficiently quality minded projects always wind up vendoring all of their dependencies anyway. There's a reason Chrome has their own fork of everything down to the compiler.

It's not about quality. It's about reproducibility of the exact versions of all dependencies. It's about communications with repos not being subverted to load malicious packages. It's build security not app quality, though app quality is a part.
This whole ecosystem is in the process of changing.

> The site’s real-life moderators are Daniel Gackle and Scott Bell, two wildly polite old friends. […] Gackle and Bell, by contrast, practice a personal, focussed, and slow approach to moderation, which they see as a conversational act. They treat their community like an encounter group or Esalen workshop; often, they correspond with individual Hacker News readers over e-mail, coaching and encouraging them in long, heartfelt exchanges.

My impression is that it's just an old-fashioned manual process.
The example of the Tundra is legit. Trucks keep getting bigger. It's not really because people all want a bigger truck though, it's because the government outlawed the compact trucks with CAFE and any remaining compact truck import options that might have satisfied CAFE had the shit taxed out of them with the chicken tax. It's a major reason for increased death in pedestrian by truck.

Plenty of people would choose a thicker phone with better battery life if given the choice but companies have long fought to use it as a marketing feature and don’t want to draw attention to the compromise.

The batteries themselves only dissipate heat relative to the charge/discharge rate/current but the total capacity would not change that.

I think the author also wants to get the proposed regulation modified before it goes into force, to make it weaker. Of course I want the opposite: it should be made stronger rather than weaker.

Comparing the environmental danger of avoiding snakes and not diving into water where you can't see the bottom to navigating the streets of San Francisco as a small, alone human is ludicrous.

> In the 3rd quarter, one crash was recorded for every 6.26 million miles driven using Autopilot. Teslas not using Autopilot technology logged one crash for every 1.71 million miles driven.

Autopilot might be safer, but this statistic is just a textbook example of selection bias. In order to compare one to the other, crashes in places autopilot doesn't work need to be excluded.

Any given video game is more than just the game itself. A video game is a toolkit for making games. To say that a simple map like this isn't in the spirit of the game is missing that it's an entirely different game in its own right, merely built using the same toolkit.
Whose performative outrage? The complainant from the article, or the one you just responded to? They are both complaints. A huge assumption underlying the post you responded to is that there's some check, waiting. Perhaps this is driven by media reports of examples that titillate viewers, but I think it's a fairly unfounded assumption. Underlying any of those cases is a fact pattern that has to go beyond whatever the headline trivialization of the case is. I've had limited experience litigating employment cases, but in my time, I did not come away with the impression that a client could walk into my office, complaining that somebody called him a "G", and I tell them that they are going to need to start picking out a new boat.

There is the other side of the coin that you are discussing, and it's what I pointed out above. The belief that all these things are an easy out to the financial problems you have, and that's the only reason why someone would complain about being called a "G".
Like many human inventions, it started out good and got worse as people got better at exploiting the flaws in the institution. Those exploits eventually get bad enough that they can escalate to creating new flaws to be exploited until the whole thing is captured. Most institutions are somewhere along that path.

My personal philosophy about such things is to think of Hanlon's razor as a boundary condition. The longer an institution has been around, the more likely the incompetence is actually just well disguised malice.

Maybe they gave a simplified explanation of their service, but if all they do is parse the country code of a phone number to return the geocoordinates for the center of that country then maybe just deprecate phone number inputs. I can’t think of why that’d be actual useful (a function that accepts a phone number country code and returns the center of the country’s geocoordinates) but if they have customers who use it direct them to input the country code directly
It's disheartening to see that the content of this isn't just "well, duh!" and that some people actually need to be convinced.

That said, this article is weird ("theoretical probability" vs. "experimental probability"... huh?) and is not exactly something I would want to share around. It almost seems like the author wrote it for their own benefit, after themselves recently realizing that probability is important and useful/essential in data science, and wanting to share what they learned. I'm not sure it's worth anyone's time to read it.
It is though. Lack of a formal structure for who is sovereign in deciding disputes is what gets us the chaos of gang warfare. That’s … why there’s the warfare part.
