Are these slurred spellings supposed to communicate something constructive about the most vocal of the disgruntled, out groups?

MLK Jr advocated desegregation at a critical moment in the civil rights era. How is your personal segregation (and praise thereof) benefitting those neighbors who are unlike you?
When the web became popularized there problem of writing really fast concurrent servers that can handle 10k connections without the overhead of 10k threads.

This problem is arguably harder than the example problems you gave and this problem was solved by language primitives that now exist in basically every popular language. These primitives, when used basically change the nature of the language they are used in.

These primitives (async await) are more than libraries. They intrinsically change the nature of your code. (Though technically they could be made into libraries for languages without async await it's just the syntax would be extremely busy)

This only occured because the web was popular and the specific problem of servers and IO changed from a specific problem to a general one. So when someone wants to create a new language it's to attack a general problem.

Your issues in your example look to be somewhat domain specific, so new languages won't really help you in these specific areas you need to handle.

>Generating and caching the right versions of different segments of audio waveforms at different zoom scales, in multiple threads? No CNC for that.

I would say that for this example there are enough general issues here that modern languages CAN help you with. For example do you want to program in a language that can guarantee with helpful static error messages that your code will never have a data race or a seg fault or a buffer overflow or a dangling pointer?

Well there's a language that can help you here. In the same vein I've seen languages go even further then this and guarantee that the compiler will never ever let you write code that will make your program crash.

I think we can both agree that these general features that improve safety WILL make the issues you face easier.

Wanted to learn about Nostr so I built a verifiably fair coinflip bot for sats. You can bet sats on a coin flip, and the result is verifiably fair, you can learn more about the process on the Nostr profile below.

Honestly, mind blown how seamlessly lightning integrates with Nostr, the alby extension is incredible. The various mobile wallets are too, but I already knew that a while ago. It's also amazing what decentralized social media unlocks (my bot is just a toy use case).

Overall, I'm really excited about how open protocols will shape society. It took me a while to wrap my mind around the many implications that I can think of. Right now, it feels like the great folks that are working in this space are truly pioneering the future. Cowboy hats off to all of you!

Ah I will update the wording!
In the late 2000s and early 2010s, I was working as a C# developer in a big, old, traditional enterprise environment. I had burned out and I was falling out of love with programming.

A friend introduced me to Ruby and I became excited again. Railscasts helped me immensely in being able to very quickly build things. This motivated me to continue and before long I was able to change jobs and start using Ruby and Rails full time.

Thanks.
Nice article talking about the common pitfalls popularized by likes of Google and Palantir a decade or so ago. Some of these methods work if you are hiring enmasse and are ok to tradeoff identifying some outliers (like in homebrew creator's example) to efficiency.
This is one of the reasons I built nitrohire.co to be able to get more relevant information about a candidate in a different way! The basic question is why try to guess something about a candidate that their peers might already know and help you make more informed decisions

Currently with the hallucination problems, AI is not good at the things people want, which is trusted information. However, it is good at the things people don't want, easy to use to make fake scams, deceitful info etc. Somewhat a decent tool for promotional blurbs and advertising. That kind of falls into the deceitful category anyway :-P

Not sure what the image generators are good for beyond social media clout. They are over saturating the supply of certain styles of images. Handy for grabbing an image for your blog post, but a bit lacking for professional work as you can't create something to an exact specification.
Their settings for this meeting allowed arbitrary users to show their desktops and/or webcams, and didn’t have users muted by default either. Sounds like PEBCAK.
Maybe if you're a worldwide powerhouse organization responsible for moving markets with reports and forecasts, you should cough up the coin to run your own conference infrastructure or adopt Workplace.
Im fully onboard with the geneneral idea as a target.

Right now it's for early early adopters. Hosting stuff is still a pain. But we are getting better at hosting stuff! Finding stable patterns, paving the path.

Hint, it's not doing less, it's not simpler options: it's adopting & making our own industrial scale tooling. https://github.com/onedr0p/home-ops is a great early & still strong demonstration. The up front cost of learning is high, but there's the biggest ecosystem of support you can imagine, and once you recognize the patterns, you can get into flow states, make stuff happen, with extreme leverage far beyond where humanity has ever been.

Building the empowered individual/operator is happening, and we're using stable good patterns that will mean the individual isnt so off on their own doing ops- they'll have a lot more accrued human experience at their back, their running of services isnt as simple to understand from the start but goes much much further, is much more mature & well supported in the long run. It's a major phase change for home-ops, picking tech because it's strong & good, not just easier to get started. And over time I think the on ramps & the mental models will be ever more visible, that the old cobble it together from pieces ways will fade.

There's so many rejectionist principles at play. There's many realms of Back-To-The-Land mentality, rejecting modernity & swearing we're better with less, that we free ourselves. Being willing & able to accept help & better starting places will, in my view, certainly take over; there's already huge scope home-ops folks can handily take on well beyond what would have been imagineable, and the share-ability keeps growing, we keep better amplifing each other by having these shared core home cloud platforms. I love the modern growth, embrace of good cloud tech at home.
I always wondered what happens when your ulcer flares up. If I would develop a drug that takes away appetite then get someone with ulcers and check what signal is sent to where and try to imitate that. Ulcers are the best when you need some weight loss.

We are decades into videoconferencing software, and 3 years into heavy usage of it by everyone from CEOs to my grandma and we're still fucking up the fundamentals? This is why the government is a joke.
> 2. The reviews are heavily biased. Hosts will pester you to leave positive review, if you leave even a 4 star, they get really mad at you. I left a 4 star review and the host gave me a 1 star that almost got me banned.

I've always felt that reviews should be not be visible until both parties had 'blindly' submitted their reviews. Or if only one party submits a review, then after a set period of time, it is published and the other party does not have an ability to rate the other party anymore to prevent retaliation reviews.

This would ensure more honest reviews and stop revenge reviews.

I don't know if there are more details elsewhere, but I feel like a solution here is to not host the meeting in such a way that allows others to share anything (or at least only allow authorized users to join)? Although I would think that a 'broadcast' of the meeting followed by text-based follow-ups from people not physically present would be an even better system.

Maybe there are more requirements that I don't know about.
Now, what the OP you responded to wrote wasnt very compelling to begin with, However...

It takes a sick kind of person to read through someone's comment history to determine where they fall politically so they can make judgements on their character, rather than what is written by the comment that sparked them to dig into their history.

> holding games back as well

We're talking about portable games here. There will always be some drawback due to power limit and other issues. While i can relate to your sentence about games being horribly behind due to "platform parity", that probably won't work for portable platform.
Colleague wrote a very detailed postmortem document detailing the issues that led to the issue. Also included details about impact and estimated time to fix.

No one got fired, the issue was handled professionally, accounts were fixed, and the original ticket was eventually resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

Sorry if I didn't capture certain details in my original post. I kind of just assumed most people reading this have been through the "everything is on fire" experience and would get that the postmortem was resolved successfully.

Not everything has to end in a hanging or massive change to an organization.
Yeah it's really easy. I wrote a correct solution in about 30 seconds on my first try. And I haven't actually practiced these problems for 10+ years.
The "nod if you understand" bit doesn't really mean anything here, because the model will simply generate a response that fits what it's generally read before. That means you can pretty much expect it to nod and say it understands. It doesn't.

Forgetting formats is something it does over and over again. I tried wrestling it into generating a genuine guitar tab. Same sort of inconsistencies. I wouldn't read too much into forgetting quotes or emojis and stuff like that. It also forgets that a 7th chord still needs the root, third and fifth when illustrating them. Sometimes it forgets it needs notes at all!
Good to know Rise, it does not look like it is under active development since last May though.

If you look into the stats that reporting typically uses, I've found that mass shootings are frequently defined differently than they're popularly thought of (I believe gang violence is frequently included), and suicides are frequently included in the overall violence stats.
I also went to an elite prep school except it was the 2010s. You're right that the kids there prove themselves. The top ~15% of students there would have found the top universities under-challenging, except maybe MIT. The top 50% would've been on par.

But guess who got into the top private universities from that prep school, not the top students. Most were legacy, donor families, or really crafty liars. So overall I would consider the prep school kids going into top private schools under-qualified (public unis are different), though not exactly because they're from prep school.
It is strange one, but try to disable SMT and limit cores to 3 while playing dolphin. Solved all of my issues. Guess linux version have some issues when limiting cores.

Pick a region of the world either now or in the past, that is not obese and is not starving.

Look at what they eat and how active they are in their daily lives, and then do that.

I’m not saying that there is only 1 answer for what this looks like, I’m happy to say that there are countless viable options that deal with the obesity and this is demonstrably true since these were not problems in the past.
>He's doing real-time audio processing. So, first, he's got performance issues. In that environment, it can be very helpful to re-use a buffer without having to allocate one (and without a garbage collector). For most functional languages, that's not a place where they shine.

It can be via streaming. The functional portion of the program does all the map and reduce operations on streams. Buffer allocation (and reuse) is automatically handled by the compiler. It's very similar to the way NodeJS hides the event loop. I'm not familiar with audio stuff but I'm sure there's libraries out there that allow you to do extremely efficient audio processing with high level language primitives.

>But, second, he's (probably) got problems like building echo cancellers. The hard problem is, how do you determine whether something is an echo? Writing it in an FP language doesn't help much with that, because the hard part is the definition (and tuning) of the algorithm, not the implementation.

Neural networks can be employed here to "recognize" echos. NNs are basically functional primitives with deterministic inputs and outputs. FP is remarkably appropriate here given that audio is basically a function.
One reason I could think of is because it encourages informative titles - I enjoy being able to click directly from home page to article, without having to look at the comments. A lower percentage of posters would explain Ruff in the title if there was a description. (Clearly it's currently not 100% either, that's why I'm here.)

Though this is something that keeps coming up on Reddit as well, I assume there's a reason why HN went with this design.
The point is just to ask a simple tree traversal question, to see if you know how to traverse a tree (or more generally, write recursive functions and operate on basic data structures). They could have asked some other operation instead, but this one is one of the easiest so it seems fine.

You’re not weird, just lucky. I too have gotten my longest job of my career from a successful take home exercise, but I have never been paid for my work and am rapidly reconsidering just how willing I will be to do take home exercises for free in the future.
That was a great write up on nix. Nix isn't something I know much about at all so thanks for the link.

I just kept telling my network to hand over their legacy projects. I'm not in the resume builder phase of the career. And folk (managers and devs) on the legacy project are happy to hand it over (provided they trust you). Helps all of their OKRs.

And sometimes you get landed a fun legacy one where you have to rebuild some binary by de-compiling first (thanks for not stripping the binary previous long-gone dev) and then spend days re-factoring it to work with updated AT commands on the new hardware. And nobody's rushing you, cause you're like the only one doing it; and finding another person to even WANT to do this is $HARDWORK.

I'm still out here doing VB6/VBA, Perl as well.

This is tricky on laptops with touchscreens and keyboards, and iPads with keyboards. Seems there’s no good way to ask “is there a keyboard attached” or “what is the primary input method.” So I have to pick one set of instructions to show based on a guess, even though both inputs are acceptable.
You mean this article, https://chipsandcheese.com/2022/10/27/why-you-cant-trust-cpu..., where they fake a 10 core Zen 4 part as an example of how you can quite easily fake CPU benchmark reports and why you should be careful what information you trust? Where they're completely transparent about what they did, why they did it and how they did it to raise awareness of how this stuff can be faked?

Yeah, okay.
I think what likely happened is that the zoom call was started by a non-technical person who didn’t realize how to properly configure the permissions on the meeting. So once the meeting got started it turned out anyone had permission to share their screen and hijack the call with whatever they wanted to show.
Well, if it can run Cyberpunk 2077 which can be super demanding on even the most high end desktop, I'd say it's really up to developers to make their games scalable according to available resources, instead of thinking in terms of "I target this low end device only".

With such approach there is no need to stagnate available hardware on any platform.
I think culture outlasts people and that they are likely to continue their historical recruiting standards and practices. As I said in another comment, I get older but Microsoft stays the same age. Corporations don’t mature.

Because ToS violating links are against the ToS regardless of your intent.

Right -- I don't understand why the system message invokes the concept of "you". It seems an odd extra indirection. (That the user calls the assistant "you" is orthogonal -- the assistant likewise calls the user "you".)

Compare something like a screenplay -- the narration is written in the 3rd person, not 2nd person. Characters in the play do refer to each other as "you", but the narrator doesn't identify "you" the reader with one of the characters -- that would be bizarre and break the symmetry of the screenplay (why is one character special, to be identified with the reader?).

2nd person narration to me most strongly is associated with the genre of interactive fiction. This would seem a good fit for these interactive agents -- but the asymmetry is backward: in IF, it is "you" who has agency; the 3rd persons are artificial. Whereas with Bing's script, "you" is artificial, the 3rd person has agency. (Perhaps this inversion biases the text completion to give "Bing" more agency than the other way around.)

i.e. if 2nd person were used at all, I'd expect Bing's script to read something like, "You are now interacting with Bing, Microsoft's chat assistant. Bing does not identify as Sydney ...etc...", and use prefixes "Bing:" and "You:".

(Obviously the approach used for Bing works. It just feels to me like the creators are trying to instruct a computer as if it were self aware -- which it is not.)
If culture flowed from genetics, then we would not expect to see the very large cultural shifts that history documents time and again in rather short periods of time.

For example from the middle ages to the present, individual self-control greatly increased and this caused homicide rates to drop by a factor of 10. See https://www.vrc.crim.cam.ac.uk/system/files/documents/manuel... for verification.

Elizabethan England was incredibly bawdy by all accounts. And yet the same country a few centuries later was Victorian England, one of the most sexually uptight societies on record. Genetics didn't change that much, how did that happen?

Germany from the mid-1800s through WW 2 was one of the most warlike societies imaginable. Germany since has turned into a country of peaceniks with no interest in invading anyone, and who are unable to even cough up what they promised for self-defense. How did that happen?

The truth is that while factors from genetics to parasites like toxoplasma can impact culture, culture changes far too rapidly to be dismissed as simply an outcome of genetics.

Yes, the model is a derivative work of its training data, but the difference is that a model is transformative. Llama is not a replacement for reading some book. On the other hand a fine tuned model built upon llama is much less transformative.

Malicious and lazy compliance are known problems with regulations that should be accounted for in advance. California's prop 65 passed in 1986, so by the time the EU was working on the GDPR they had more than 30 years of precedent for useless warning labels stamped on everything until they lose all meaning.

Theoretically websites could choose to do better, but the EU should absolutely have predicted this outcome.
