I think part of what is going on here is that lawyers are incentivized to identify and mitigate risk. They don’t carry the downside to over-mitigating risk — in this case the company writ large and employees do, but lawyers are penalized — or at least they perceive they will be penalized - if they don’t identify any conceivable risk for their clients.

There are also a lot of asshole business owners out there. A friend once had a former employer successfully enforce a non-compete agreement against him for structured cabling work while his daughter was undergoing treatment for leukemia. He had to drive 200 miles one-way to work for a year to avoid being sued. For snaking Ethernet cables behind drywall.
Monty Hall isn't like this imho, that's a legit 'veridical paradox' that famously wrong-foots mathematicians.

These are issues that I'm aware of that are "tracking" the status of Rust on console:

* <https://github.com/rust-gamedev/wg/issues/90>

* <https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-ecosystem/issues/18>

I say scare quote tracking because due to the nature of console NDAs it's unlikely you'll see much if any useful details in an open public forum.

The issues aren't dissimilar to those facing Godot (although it has the benefit it's able to use existing C++ compilers) and the project has previously outlined some of the issues involved:

* <https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.0/tutorials/platform/conso...>

* <https://godotengine.org/article/godot-consoles-all-you-need-...>

The current "solution" seems to be console-related development activity occurring via the recently established W4 Games (https://w4games.com/2023/02/28/godot-support-for-consoles-is...) but that's obviously never going to be openly developed without console platform approval (same as any other game engine).
i've seen advice on the webs for useReducer instead of a lot of useState's...which feels a lot closer to the class-component this.setState().

is there a good reason not to uniformly rely on useReducer everywhere in a codebase?
I remember this well, too.

Ironically, I think that angular is the framework that benefits least from actually using TypeScript.
There is a separate templating language that's only type-checked if you set the right compiler options. JSX is much better suited for that.
Being OOP like angular, it often requires opting out of null-safety or init-checks, because something is late-initialized. Having mutable instance state results in less opportunities to be more strict with typing.

Its good that the TS team decided to align with the ES standards. Initially (talking like v0.8.0), I had the impression that they're building a "C# for the web", being incompatible with ES. Maybe that's why enums and namespaces were added and initially, the boolean was named bool.
> Footfall by Niven and Pournelle which featured launching the USS Missouri into orbit on an Orion style pusher

Yes, there was an Orion. No they didn't launch the USS Missouri. The ship was called Michael and featured, among other crazy weaponry, X-Ray lasers of the SDI type, i.e. some material (ruby?) pumped by a nuke. The nuke would destroy the material, but in the process get it to lase X-Rays. Heck, if you're using nukes for propulsion, might as well do that as well.

Maybe they repurposed the guns for something?

I distinctly remember some dialogue that there was some fairly rough welding of thick steel plates going on, none of the ultra-fine tolerances of traditional rocket engineering.

Actually... they aren't contradictory. The organization data will be retained for 30 days and is subject to deletion. That data includes the teams, memberships, etc. But, it wasn't clear what we were going to do about the images. Keeping the public images is important as many other images build on top of them.

Assuming you use a token similar to JWT , then redirects and removing the token from the client don’t matter if you don’t blacklist the token on the backend, which if they were able to continue by hitting the back button seems the case. This does require you to keep a database of “logged-out” tokens and reject them, and occasionally run a cleanup script on the db to prune tokens from that table after they would have expired, but that’s what is required when you use auth tokens for login.
> Probably best for these engineers to move on and find a company that will allow 100% working.

Personal computing didn't automate too many things that only humans could previously do. Personal computer enabled you to move the data haystack from paper medium to digital but you still had to know the right SW incantations and meticulously dig through it to find the needle.

ChatGPT and other ML apps can find you the needle in the data haystack. To look up stuff on the PC you still needed to know the location of your stuff, filesystem info and how to formulate queries. You no longer need to learn to "speak machine language" but finally the machines can now understand human language to do what you tell them to do.

Of course, ChatGPT & friends can also say dumb shit or just hallucinate stuff up so you still need a human in the loop to double-check everything.
Wow - this is just wild. I've seen lots of arguments around "AI won't take everyone's job, it will just open up new areas for new jobs." Even if you take that with the benefit of the doubt (which I don't really think is warranted):

1. You don't need to take everyone's job. You just need to take a shitload of people's jobs. I think a lot of our current sociological problems, problems associated with wealth inequality, etc., are due to the fact that lots of people no longer have competitive enough skills because technology made them obsolete.

2. The state of AI progress makes it impossible for humans in many fields to keep up. Imagine if you spent your entire career working on NLP, and now find GPT-4 will run rings around whatever you've done. What do you do now?

I mean, does anyone think that things like human translators, medical transcriptionists, court reporters, etc. will exist as jobs at all in 10-20 years? Maybe 1-2 years? It's fine to say "great, that can free up people for other thing", but given our current economic systems, how are these people supposed to eat?

EDIT: I see a lot of responses along the lines of "Have you seen the bugs Google/Bing Translate has?" or "Imagine how frustrated you get with automated chat bots now!" Gang, the whole point is that GPT-4 blows these existing models out of the water. People who work in these fields are blown away by the huge advances in quality of output in just a short time. So I'm a bit baffled why folks are comparing the annoyances of ordering at a McDonald's automated kiosk to what state-of-the-art LLMs can do. And reminder that the first LLM was only created in 2018.

French here. The exact amount is negotiated (aka decided by the employer) and written in the contract. I had multiple work contracts where the indemnity would have been 30% of my annual salary, never more (which is actually pretty bad because you still have to find a job without breaching the non-complete).

Non-compete clauses must also be limited in scope (geography and profession) and must not stop employees to live from their trade. As a result companies rarely exercise non-compete clauses since they are regularly thrown away by courts ("conseil des prud'hommes" in french).

Still they are part of the so called "standard work countract". I imagine most companies just get their base contract copy-pasted from the same template.
This wouldn't have been solved by any thing in Dodd-Frank. SVB invested in highly liquid securities that are considered the safest asset class, interest rate risk wasn't expected to materialize as quickly as it did as the Fed would have been expected to raise rates more gradually over a longer time horizon or provide an asset exchange mechanism for member banks. SVB is not an example of a bank that had engaged in Investment Banking activity with depositor capital or had unacceptable capital reserve ratios.

That being said, I could be wrong and not aware of the specific Dodd-Frank policy that, if followed, would have made SVB safer.

The fed doesn't need to lower rates necessarily, it could simply allow all member banks to exchange low interest rate long term bonds for new higher yield bonds and pay the Fed for the spread with a loan. That would reduce the liquidity risk if the member bank needs to sell some or all of its bond portfolio on short notice to fund depositor withdrawals, it would allow the Fed to hold the low rate securities to maturity while being fairly compensated by member banks.

Edit: after reading this article posted by lordfrito below I stand corrected. SVB executives knew the risk and took it anyway. But not for personal gain but to maximize firm value as it allowed higher profit which increased the valuation (so yes they benefited personally, but to a greater extent than just a few million in bonuses).

> Doesn’t this effectively target all the best employees?

No, because a huge percentage of the best employees are on H1Bs and have no choice but to stay.

Big tech might have some issues when the carpet gets pulled on H1B rules XOR H1B allocations during the next administration. I'm like 99.9% sure that the status quo will end one way or the other (I'm hoping it'll be rules but scared that it'll be allocations).
As I think your replies indicate, it's variable. I get pretty much only scam calls. But my SO gets lots of scam SMSs, even ones targeting my work, such as claiming to be from "my boss".

I get plenty of spam SMS, but they're not technically scams. (…unless I suppose if you jokingly consider the GOP a scam…) I wouldn't mind seeing those get cracked down on. (I'm not registered with them, and they continue to spam me about political issues in jurisdictions for which I've not been on the voter roles for over a decade.)

Also, spam SMSs trying to get me to sell my parent's home. (I don't think these are scams, per se, but from what I've read their offers aren't going to be good. Nonetheless, I'm not looking to evict my mother … out of a house I don't own?, of course.)

Finally, my hometown has apparently sold their soul … and somehow my cell phone information? … to a random private company. Instead of publishing WEAs like a normal jurisdiction, I get SMSes that have little to no context, like "take shelter from the storm" while it's completely sunny and the forcast is nothing but sun, and the radar is clear. (It took a while to figure out that they were warnings about a city a few thousand miles away, since, again … 0 context.)
I don't think so. She describes her experience of not getting any work, but she merely speculates that she was hired so other companies couldn't have here. This isn't any more solid that any speculation on this subject on HN.
And, because it does so, you can fall down really deceptive holes due to the lack of typing around things that decorators apply to, like parameters.

Isn't "launch from a plane" basically reusable first stage, 1.0? It was also more conservative, since the idea had already been successfully implemented in 1990: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_Pegasus.

Some quick googling shows Virgin Orbit started in 2011, and SpaceX landed their first rocket in 2015. Virgin Orbit's idea may have make a lot more sense before SpaceX proved out an alternative, and that didn't happen until maybe they'd done a lot of development that could have possibly paid off.
Don't have any data on that unfortunately.

This is the same as getting ChatGPT to calculate something. It is likely that it can infer a correct result from the training data and give right "new" answer, but it doesn't mean it has any understanding of maths.

That's why these models like ChatGPT are trained on massive models, to hide the fact that the AI is actually very dumb pattern matching machine.

The only reason they found these "new" protein structures is because AI could match them to a pattern that it learned from the training data.

They even claim this:

> akin to generating grammatically and semantically correct natural language sentences on diverse topics

Just like ChatGPT can generate grammatically and semantically correct natural language, except if the topic is not something it was trained on it will output grammatically and semantically correct nonsense.

> ProGen can be further fine-tuned to curated sequences and tags

Which suggests there still needs to be a human that can reason to be able to curate the sequences, something AI can't and probably at this stage never be able to do.

This is something companies running these models won't openly admit, because that would confuse investors.
When interest rates began rising about 13 months ago, SVB should have taken a small haircut on the long term bonds and moved to shorter terms and T-bills. They held their losers until last week when they finally sold for a larger loss.
>interest rate on savings accounts go up as much as it might...

No sensical person is concerned with the interest rate on savings, it is nearly zero and effectively negative.

I dont believe anyone should have a single account with 100 million dollars nor should banks allow that, but they do. Perhaps part of the problem is that the $250k coverage is a value that should adjust annually and coverage should be relative to each account as opposed to each account holder
That is not correct though. With the question phrased this way the second and third logicians don’t know if the previous ones want a drink or not.
All employee surveys are corporate theater. They create the illusion that employees and owners/management are equal parties in a discussion. They aren't. Corporations are oligarchical in nature.

Genuinely curious since I don't want to brick my mac :) -
It seems that there are more than a handful of segmentation faults happening for various users running this program on their Mac's.
Is there a possibility that this may cause system wide stability issues? Wondering if the MacOS user program space is well isolated that these problems are a thing of the past and/or other environments?

Also, ChatGPT seems ambivalent about it -

"However, it is worth noting that modern operating systems like macOS have built-in protections to prevent user-level programs from accessing sensitive system resources, which can help mitigate the impact of a segmentation fault.

In summary, running a faulty program written in C language that crashes with a segmentation fault can potentially cause system stability issues on a Mac, but the exact impact will depend on a variety of factors. It is generally a good practice to test and debug programs thoroughly before running them on any system, especially if they involve sensitive or critical resources."
