SVB Collapse: VCs Ask Justin Trudeau for Lifeline to Replace Credit in Canada
It appears to me that it is a big problem of the training set containing mostly questions that can be (and are) answered. Sure, on StackOverflow you will have questions where the response is: please refine your question. But even then, did they use the raw input, or did they use the edited input? Similar with interviews: those are not actual interviews (for the most part) but edited for clarity. Hence, I doubt that GPT was much trained on reiterating questions and instead learned that there is always an answer, even if there is none to that particular question or when it does not know.
If these were staple foods, that would be a concern - like the effect of Ukraine's wheat exports to Africa. Other countries not getting as much Dutch cheese is not the same kind of issue at all.
I'm not sure that's the behavior I would want from STOP. I have certainly sent STOP requests to retailers who over inform me of every step along the fulfillment process and each overnight stop as the item ships to me. I don't want all that.

I DO however want to receive notice when my item is out of stock or ready for in-store pickup if I chose that option.

In many cases Dutch-produced food out-prices locally produced food. Even with transport costs.

On one hand, you could say cheaper food is nice. On the other hand, employing local people to keep money in local economy to produce slightly more expensive food is better in the long term...

Really????
+1, I am really glad to see actual proof of this anti-competitive practice. The sole purpose of which is to "starve" out smaller competitors and startups of talent so there is less competition for meta and other larger incumbents. My guess is here is wall street forced Zuck's hand to offload this excess headcount by driving the stock down, but given FB's share structure(Zuckerberg has almost complete control over the company due to his share structure ownership) he could have kept along his pre-2022 path without much consequence except a battered share price.

Such a silly policy, if they have a number in mind for acceptable annual leave just make that the policy.
This is so out of touch with the reality of people. No one is knowingly taking risk that will bankrupt their company for a few million dollars in bonus when they can instead have a 10 or 20 year career where even 25% of that bonus with accrue to much more value. Further, their bonus were stock, and every single executive at SVB lost most of their equity which was paid over years and locked up as options.

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).

Yes, really weird fabrications come from that thing.

I asked to to summarize an online article, and it fabricated an author's name, despite the line "Author: [author name and firm]" being right under the top.

I then challenged it, and it apologized for the confusion and error, then fabricated a different author's name. And a wrong date of publication, which was also listed. It eventually got the date right, but continued fabricating names until I gave up laughing. Even after I told it to look on the line beginning with "Author". Odd thing was, it threw an error when I told it about "Author: FName", as if it freaked out when asked to tell a fact. But then it just fabricated another with "FName Fabrication#8"...

> The S-team had those numbers. Then they sent out an email saying "we know you all can't wait to be back in the office!". They simply don't care what you think or want.

What baffles me is that forcing all full remote workers to return to the office with such short notice and in this time of the year is something that's impossible to do without huge monetary and human costs for the worker. After all, does Amazon expect their workers who have spouses and children to force them to abandon their job/school and move back to comutting distance to the office without any support?
This is a very valid concern, and one that has been raised before on this platform. With the recent advancements in AI and language models, it's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between comments generated by machines and those written by humans. This has the potential to undermine the authenticity and credibility of discussions on online forums like Hacker News.

>How is this not constructive dismissal

Companies move offices all the time and require you to go to that new office (even if it's inconvenient for your commute/you have to move cities).
Even if it is constructive dismissal, so what? Amazon won't owe you severance or anything like that. So you'd get some money from your state's unemployment office and that's about it.
But they can be sued in western countries? And if the won't comply they just get banned.

It doesn't have to be a docker run.

If ALL you have is "well documented" setups that take 2 hours, then that company sucks.

Look you don't have to have docker, but if you have a setup that is merely a Confluence page, or a pdf file, and don't have ANY shell scripts, or any way whatsoever to bootstrap setting up your environment locally, then that is a massive red flag.
I don't understand G.O's obsession with Amazon RTO and not the rest of the industry. No, it's not "unprecedented pushback", Apple employees fought much harder, executives publicly quit, and employees went to the media with names publicly exposed. And yet they went back to the office (those who didn't quit, which might of been intentional on Apples part)

Now back to G.O, I really really don't understand the hype surrounding him in the industry as if his words mean anything.

He was a line manager at Uber 2017-2020. And left the industry. He writes as if he had held multiple SVP positions analyzing how and why engineering orgs do things. He writes about Uber once in a while, in such a generic way, as if in a 30,000 person org all teams have the same ways of working

His writing in clueless, its 90% "I have been told", "people in the company are telling me", its basically a mix of DJT's ex-twitter feed and Blind.

His latest "trick" was scanning LinkedIn to show that in the past 45 days Google's engineering org grew by 6%. I really doubt that happened, Googlers I know really doubt that happened, and using LinkedIn which doesn't verify employment is a very poor way of analyzing data
honestly the first month I worked at Google they knew they needed bodies but didn't have offices for us, we doubled up on desks and split into two shifts had zero policy for the work they wanted done and some days had no available work load for our teams and then would have us do busy work that no one was trained on for other depts who would them throw out all our work. (this was 2010 to 2012) my NDA is expired yo. Second shift got Pizza every night for meals as the kitchen wouldn't stay open late enough for us.
Addendum to my nominal types: For the 'fake' nominal types (you can't put a symbol on a number!) I like to make those fields optional, which makes the type less of a lie. "If this number did have a [unit symbol] property, the value would be 'USD'". That will still prevent accidental USD <-> CAD conversion, but allows converting to/from regular numbers without explicit casting.

A pile of thoughts on the subject from back when I first came up with it: http://www.nuke24.net/plog/32.html
One example of this pattern is Searchkit [0] which performs most of its logic inside a singleton Searchkit class which is instantiated and passed as a prop to the root React component. A bonus is that it's easier to implement bindings for Angular, Svelte, etc. since they can rely mostly on the class and just need to call the appropriate methods exposed on its interface. For example, it looks like Searchkit now suggests using InstantSearch (react-instantsearch-dom) [1] from Algolia, i.e. an entirely different maintainer, and it creates the bindings with a `Client(new SearchKit(...))` adapter [2] around the class (see the code on the home page at [0]).

There are downsides to this - you do need to think a lot more about code architecture before implementing the code, and you can get into a really messy/unmaintainable situation if you aren't careful. And you'll need to consider what state your "singleton" is tied to - is it really one per page, one per component, etc? And depending on the answer, the implications may be that this pattern isn't a great idea. But for certain use cases, it can work well.

The core premise of this pattern is separating business and UI logic, which is not exactly a new idea.

> Rabois ... told a banking event earlier this month that Big Tech companies like Meta and Google had hired thousands of people ... and to stop them working for rivals.

I got an informal offer like this over dinner once, when I was trying to get a startup off the ground: "Come work for us; you can do your startup or find something else interesting. Just send me an email and I'll hire you". They told me explicitly that they were hiring certain people to keep those folks from working for the competition.

I stress informal because, though I continue talking/emailing with this person (whom I already knew), and still do, I didn't ask to follow up. So sure, they could have been bullshitting, but why volunteer something like that unless it was real?
That's the same approach bill gates takes to YouTube, of course.

AI-Feedback loops are in:

- Sensors: Put a sensor where you need it.
- Data pipeline: Connect the data to an AI-system
- Decision Making: Use the feedback for continuous optimization.
- Actuation: Implement the decision

Alexander Sergeev and Paul Mikesell at https://lnkd.in/gibc7DiA serve as a phenomenal example of this. They own the sensor, the pipeline, the decision making and the actuation.

1/ What do AI-Feedback loops look like for Engineering Teams?

Imagine sailing full speed ahead, with your sails billowing as the wind drives your ship forward, knowing that your ship is fully prepared and operating at peak performance.

2/ Meet Odin! - The Ultimate Engineering Ally
An AI-driven solution designed to help engineering teams be happier and focus on building by providing helpful real-time diagnostics, insights and interventions using combined data from Github, Jira/Linear, Calendar, Email & Slack.

We don’t have to imagine what this looks like. The Setori team has been hard at work on this for the past year and by combining our engineering command center with GPT4, we've built Odin and its something early adopters are already loving.

Preview here: setori.ai

Let me know what feedback you all have. Happy to answer questions.
"why are we burning our farmers and industry on the fire of environmentalism when the future of the environment will be decided by developing countries, not us"

Further in community like HN, it’s not just about collaborative filtering to find things that you as an individual will like. It is about focusing the collective attention of the community on a small set of topics to drive rich discussions.

"Every allocation is drawn in real time in a little gui window with the relative addresses mapped to 2D hilbert space; where different colors will be used for different threads. The brightness of the allocations fades with time, showing you which allocations are new and which have been around for some time."

"Memgraph is not a proper profiler, nor does it provide precise instrumentation. Instead it relies on the power of your own visual cortex to get a proper "feel" about the application's behavior."

"We believe that employees are much more likely to understand our unique culture and become part of it if they are surrounded by other Amazonians in person"

This statement strikes me as dishonest. 'Culture', a nebulous and immeasurable term, is clearly being used to lasso people back to the office for an ulterior motive. Are there truly no reasons for RTO more firm and factual than absorbing culture, whatever that may be?

The author asserts that Amazon could be trying to increase attrition, but is this really the reason? Maintaining office buildings and bringing people into them just so that some of them might quit?
The price isn't even that bad, even the most expensive at 6cents per 1k tokens, it won't cost me much. It's the context size that's amazing. Gone are the days of only being able to pass ~500 tokens into something like BERT.
A 100% O2 atmosphere would produce oxygen toxicity in the human body. Plus, it would create a huge fire hazard.

Now, it's possible that we could be ok with a gas mix that's different from the traditional 21% oxygen 78% nitrogen we have here. But we don't like to experiment on humans. A different gax mix would need a lot of long term testing on animals before we'd ever consider using it.

Yeah, you don't want to be anywhere near a place claiming to hire HS graduates/4chan posters in disciplines requiring advanced knowledge for successful product development, unless, idk, they have demonstrated mathematical talent through well-established media e.g. math olympiads, thesis on some relevant discipline.

Almost all the time, they're shitty startups, where bankruptcy is a matter of time, run by overpromising-underdelivering grifter CTOs pursuing a get-rich-quick scheme using whatever is trendy right now -crypto, AI, whatever has the most density on the frontpage-.

Will the difference in costs stay slight? Possibly not, if the locals are protected by sufficiently high import duties that they aren't forced to innovate.

We might yet see a similar problem in the space industry. European space industry is likely to fall far behind SpaceX when it comes to rocket costs and especially capabilities, but France won't surrender its independent access to space and will likely subsidize the already-obsolete Ariane models far into the future.

Of course the banks are only happy to have ANY justification to complain and not raise saving rates, and blame the Federal Government.

But there have been no indication yet that the FDIC will be drawing on the insurance fund to cover the depositors.
Credit to the React team. The docs prior to this were poor - I believe the team admitted this.

From the style of writing, to the style of site, I can tell a lot of effort was put into this. Will check out react this weekend - it's been a couple of years (we've been using svelte)
She was recruiter hired right at about time when Meta announced hiring freeze. The only lesson here is not that FAANG hires people to do nothing but that Meta was way too slow to layoff 90% of recruiting org probably because it hoped economy/revenues improve and company will resume hiring.

I laughed out loud at this.

It reminded me of an old article [1] about Howard Schultz where his reply of "On it." was praised by another CEO because it demonstrated that he was much more focused on getting shit done rather than overcommunicating or over-delegating.

I just dug it up:

> Friends and colleagues agree that he is as fanatical as ever about Starbucks. Millard Drexler, the chief executive of J. Crew, recently e-mailed Mr. Schultz to complain that the coffee lids at a Starbucks on Astor Place in Manhattan kept spilling coffee on his shirt. Mr. Schultz’s reply: “On it.”

> Mr. Drexler, who has a habit of e-mailing C.E.O.’s with complaints, says: “I can give you many more examples when they say, ‘I’ll send this to a research department or a gatekeeper.’ ” But, he says of Starbucks, “to have that kind of quality control they have around the world is pretty extraordinary.”
