"People with autism" carries a connotation that the person and the autism are separable. Given the deep, dark, nasty history of autism "cures" that's a very raw nerve, and stamping out that type of thinking will materially improve conditions.

There is a neat potential speedup here for the case where the bandwidth to your model weights is the limiting factor.

If you have a guess what the model will output, then you can verify that your guess is correct very cheaply, since you can do it in parallel.

That means there is the possibility to have a highly quantized small model in RAM, and then use the big model only from time to time. You might be able to get a 10x speedup this way if your small model agrees 90% of the time.

My sense it is cultural. If there's no consequence for breaking stuff then stuff gets broken. Other languages have a stronger culture of shame from breaking stuff.

The main difference is that the request to change the English spelling from Kiev to Kyiv came from the Ukrainian government. As far as I know Japanese or German government haven't requested that we stop writing "Japan" and "Germany".

The closest current example going on right now is the Turkish government wanting to change the English spelling of their country from "Turkey" to "Turkiye".
I’m American and I don’t really understand where you are coming from. Except for some of the elite universities I don’t think the main reason is networking.

My college experience was at a regular school learning and gaining experience through work. No debt, no loans, and state scholarship that paid 100% tuition if I went to a public school in my state. The scholarship required a 3.0 in high school and thereafter. Most of my high school friends who went to college did a similar thing.

Sure some went to Ivy League or other expensive networking type schools but it was the exception.
This is not just a web-dev perspective.

People use Python in financial applications, Data Engineering and AI/ML pipelines, infrastructure software etc and the 10x speed can be real.

Nah, it’s the interpreter itself. Due to it not having JIT compilation there is a very high ceiling it can not even in theory surpass (as opposed to things like pypy, or graal python).

I've shot out emacs vs. vi back in 1999 and settled on vi after preferring emacs initially. Still, I think emacs is the better editor platform. every couple years, I try the available options in emacs for a vi input layer. None of them come close once you start typing quickly. It's way too easy for these emulations to stumble over quickly followed inputs. So in the end, I'll agree with djha-skin - just use (n)vim.
Yes, neovim + vscode is quite good, better than a "vim emulation mode". I believe one of the maintainers (justinmk) uses this as his primary workflow, or at least "at work" workflow?

Not all plugin work, mostly the esoteric ones that spawn many buffers etc, but all your motions etc work fine.

Personally I find vscodes text rendering not as nice as alacritty for what ever reason, otherwise I would probably use it as my primary interface.
I mean, this sets off my satire alarms but wouldn't that be a worthy goal? We can cynically deride all attempts to connect humanity as worthless hippy mumbo jumbo, and while I think perfect adherence would be impossible, I think a step or two in that direction is both possible and beneficial for us. This cynical attitude (assuming satire) is exactly the type of thing preventing us from making that kind of progress.

I feel very fortunate I had a similar experience. When I was younger I joined the Army and after that did construction. I look back at those experiences and I realize how lucky I am to be able to work in Tech. Unfortunately a lot of people jump into tech at 22/23 fresh out of school. They work 10 years and start to become disillusioned that tech work is bad because they have nothing to contrast it to.
Yeah that's a real problem. It's also interesting that this puts American contributors at something of a disadvantage.
From my experience, there's quite a heavy level of organic criticism for how Iran has been treated in general.

Shallow, weak (in magnitude) earthquakes can do significant damage locally because the intensity of an earthquake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_intensity_scales) decreases with distance to its source.

https://www.insidescience.org/news/2019-year-fracking-earthq...:

“The Feb. 25 earthquake was only a magnitude 4.9, which would not traditionally be considered very dangerous. But it was able to destroy older and more vulnerable buildings because it was so close to the surface -- only about one kilometer deep according to the new study”
We've grown up in our latte sipping bubbles, far removed from geopolitical competition for resources.

America's postwar boom years resulted in a hegemon that largely avoided conflict. Now that power is more widely distributed amongst peer competitors, we're going to see the resource hungry animals we evolved as come to the forefront. There will be a great deal of contention, and some of it will be heated.

If I had to bet, we'll see more war this century than in the last. Ukraine is just a harbinger of what's to come.

Its not that they have some novel idea - its that they're committing to that idea at a corporate level on a massive scale. It's essentially giving us all our best shot at achieving said results.

Very early in my career, I briefly took a non tech job to get out of one I hated.

I say briefly because I quickly found myself in a job that surrounded by 100 problems easily solvable with simple tech solutions, and started to do them- either because it saved me time or it was painful to watch other people do something painful slow when simple tools would do it— things like stitching together data files (basically a join) with a small C program because the ancient mainframe reporting system was limited in max char lengths from columns.

It was very fulfilling to be in a non-tech environment where my impact on things was so immediately tangible and useful, instead of a place where direct benefits were rarely apparent.
I'm on a hiatus from tech after nearly 20 years at a FAANG, I'm now an airline pilot.

The money sucks and the hours are long, but somehow the simplicity of the mission (go from A to B, don't bend any metal) appeals to me. Being able to switch the phone off after work, not having to worry about stupid office politics, planning, or performance reviews is quite liberating. The view from my office desk is unbeatable!

I'm sure this job will lose its lustre soon enough, and maybe I'll return to tech, but for now it's fun.
As an example, I've worked in telecom - I can absolutely tell you that in 2003-5, while VoIP was available, you were 100% better off buying a legacy TDM PBX rather than buying a bleeding edge (immature) VoIP one.
Doesn't just stopping using version ranges also help with this? I've never understood why people would allow a package manager to update a piece of their code for them automatically. Using specifiers like ^1.5.3, allowing package manager to go all the way up to version 1.999 automagically is just asking for trouble.

Find a set of versions that is self-compatible and works, and pin all your versions to those specific versions, with a hash if possible. Upgrade on your schedule, not someone else's. Thoughts?

Wiktionary has attestations for use of 'blind' to mean 'concealed' or 'not visible' going all the way back to the 16th century, and if you follow the etymology it becomes likely that that was the original sense of the word, with 'sightless' coming later. This same disingenuous reasoning was used with Twitch with the phrase 'blind playthrough' (to mean 'playing a game without having seen any of it before').
This sounds interesting. Could you give some more information on what is required in terms of training, and work opportunities?
Try the travel/event booking business (where I'm in) - and no, people don't dump their mistakes on the next guy here - to the contrary, the "hacky" Python solutions are supported for years and teams stay for decades (allthough a decade ago we had not discovered how great Python was)

What business owners actually don't like at all is how long is takes traditional software development to actually solve problems - which then don't really fit the business after wasting a few years of ressources... and the dumping and running away is worse in Java and other compiled software. With Python you can at least read the source in production if the team ran away...

Some Americans don't like the influence of Iran's mullahs, but the UK and US supported the mullahs and Shah in 1953 when the secular prime Minister Mossadegh wanted to nationalize Iran's oil. The US backed the Shah and mullahs and SAVAK's brutal campaign against Iran's secular left into the 1970s. Then Iranians turned against the Shah and US imperial influence and here we are.

Hah, yes, though in this case I apply it "inversely". Anyone who gets lost in the process, instead of considering the people in it, is out.

Somewhat agree. In fact for a recent project I began writing in JS for this reason but quickly ran into opinions from team mates with no JS exposure asking "Why wouldn't you use Python?", so I did. But, I think JS as a Python replacement is problematic because:

1. Some probably usable version of Python is already on your computer. Not true for JS.

2. Forced use of async in JS library code, even though Node.js doesn't require it.
Of course algorithmic complexity will trump anything else at big enough n values.
I've always considered Goodhart's Law to be "of the people," but the article offers only top down solutions. What is the solution when the decision-makers have subjected you to a Goodhartable system of incentives and don't have enough awareness, vision, or humility themselves to change the system as described in the article? Well, you play the game or get beat by those who do. Right up until the point when you all lose.

I agree that if you're the one in control, complaining about Goodhart's Law is a sort of learned helplessness. However for those not in control -- and this goes as well for scenarios with diffuse control such as large crowds and democracy -- Goodhart's Law is useful, in the way that naming any systemic ailment is useful.

Perhaps we can talk about the 'hard problem' of Goodhart's Law to separate it from the problem solved in the article. Does anyone have good advice for those living inside the hard problem?
In principal you can run it on just about any hardware with enough storage space. It's just a question of how fast it will run.

I know some trans athletes who are extremely average in their fields, and the focus on a few high performers

If we can look at the data and say that transitioning and playing against women doesn't result in a relative performance increase vs the average athlete in the field, that's a strong argument that it's not unfair to let trans athletes compete against women. If we look at the data and see that "men who perform at the 60th percentile level among men perform after their transition at the 80th percentile among women" that's an indicator there remains an unfair advantage and our medical technology for transition needs to improve before trans athletes can fairly compete against women.

Uh, ok. So the result of the regulation is a bunch of obnoxious as you can be stuff that’s not effective (per the service). If the regulation didn’t exist, neither would the obnoxious banners that indicate compliance but in fact don’t mean compliance (according to the article). What is truly shocking is people say “it would work if only companies just followed the spirit of the regulation instead of the minimum required to avoid sanction” - sure, it’s true and we also wouldn’t need prisons if people would just follow the spirit of the law.

EPrivacy is a stupid regulation, no matter how well intentioned. It’s ended up polluting everything with obnoxious garbage that everyone (except I’m sure the random HN privacy nerd) clicks through blindly and aren’t really adhered to anyways for the HN privacy nerd who spends more time reading popups about privacy than the actual content they were after.

Sounds like a lose, lose.
I agree comparing hello world code in Python and Java is a bit pointless. Hello worlds might be much shorter, but at scale, this becomes less relevant. Also, comparing to a language that hates change is unfair, if you compare it to C#, which is improving over time, you'll see the hello world also takes one line (but is 13 characters longer, so Python still wins!)

It's no question that certain people having exorbitant amounts of wealth allows them to perform technological feats that would not be otherwise possible, but this does not mean it is otherwise sustainable as a system.

I would not take claims of something being a "dog whistle" at face value. The entire concept has largely been weaponized and bastardized, appropriately enough as a means of effecting language policing. A perfect example is over the past several years how the media spent quite a lot of energy dedicated to convincing people that "America first" was some sort of a secret dog whistle. [1] The "logic", so far as it can be called that, runs that e.g. the KKK also liked this concept and slogan. So if you like this concept and slogan you're therefore somehow secretly dog whistling for the KKK. It's just a mind-bogglingly stupid idea. If the head of the KKK really liked Honey Nut Cheerios then I suppose that also becomes a secret dog whistle?

It's simply a way to attack things without actually considering what's being said. I think if you polled Americans, white/black/brown/blue/green and orange, almost all would agree that the government should put the interests of the country and the people above the interests of other countries and the people of other countries. But in a world where political power emerges from divisions in society, that sort of unity is dangerous. So rather than attack the idea, which would be likely to backfire, they instead chose to attack our language. And it was successful. People who still believe anything the media says became cautious about advocating for things like 'America first', because they didn't want to be seen as e.g. endorsing the KKK.

By contrast those who are actively skeptical of the media, mostly disregarded what they did and continued to happily advocate for 'America first.' Now the members from the other group not only were no longer comfortable saying 'America first', but even began to see those as advocating for it as secret racists, or even KKK advocates. Divisions widened, policy destroyed (or at least made into a partisan affair), language policed, mission succeeded.
