I'm an European person and generally mildly suspicious of American govs intentions. Nevertheless, in this case I do hope they blew up the pipeline, because Germany lack of action towards Russia's invasion of Ukraine is an absolute stain for Europe.
>> Former barista who did a 90-day bootcamp and trying to find a job? Oooof, good luck.

It's almost as if you couldn't seriously be hired at a law firm after a 90 day Law bootcamp. Shocking.

I'm just angry at the people who run these bootcamps and lure "students" into cutting them big checks, promising them 70-80K jobs that never materialize.

> I had a job listing for a Senior Dev. I was completely inundated with resumes from recent bootcamp grads. No indication that they had any experience whatsoever or that they even knew what a variable was prior to the start of their bootcamp 6 months ago. I got resumes from people who were waiters, mechanics, construction workers, fast food workers, etc.

That was for dev jobs. Imagine all the "tech adjacent" jobs out there (PM, tech recruiters, something something diversity). The signal to noise ratio during the pandemic was catastrophically bad. No wonder there are so many layoffs happening right now.
But it's hard to gauge how dangerous something is.

Radioactive sign? Is it on an old smoke detector? Sure, it technically is radioactive, the sign is there, but the danger is on "meh" levels. And the size of that is relatively similar to the capsule lost recently in australia, which indeed was a lot more dangerous.

Biohazard sign? Could be a smallpox sample... also could be an old bag of used tongue depressors. Firs one would cause (another) global catastophe, and the second one can be safely cleaned in most dishwashers on the "normal"/high heat setting.
Very cool work
When I'm doing home repair and my endoscope isn't handy I use my phone as a periscope.

Because of this it is full of "pointless" photos e.g. dozens of out-of-focus shots behind my AV receiver in my stereo cabinet to make sure I didn't over-strain a cable while pushing it back.

Does this count as pointless stuff?

> Is it the M1, it that fast and better than similar priced laptops running an x86-64

That's definitely part of it. You probably need to include battery life for it to really make sense. There's nothing else that will give you that performance and close to 20 hours of battery life in a slim laptop form factor.

There's also people who are mostly happy using macOS but may want to boot into Linux for specific tasks.
The ReAct paradigm is one of the more powerful tools in the recent LangChain package which allows a more batteries-included approach to using it with models like GPT-3 and the ChatGPT API.

I’m also a bit confused by the quantization thing. Why exactly is everybody running the same program on the same file? Why not just include the quantized weights?

It seems like if somebody figured out the “correct” way to quantize the 7b weights it would make way more sense to just torrent the output rather than distribute a fixed program.

> You have narrowed down your hiring pool to expert Rust developers

I don't think that's really that big of a deal. Any above-average developer should be able to become useful in a new language in a pretty short period of time. They don't have to know the language on day 1, they only have to know how to develop software.
> The difference here is that most proprietary systems Linux has to work with on PC were reverse engineered many years ago

Such as what, though?

Intel and AMD both wrote support for their systems themselves. Nvidia has long offered a proprietary driver for Linux users, and even Intel Macbooks were a shoo-in once the firmware is sorted out. It's been a long time since someone has approached a full-scale reverse engineering project like Asahi, and I think characterizing it as "non-unique" undersells the amount of bespoke work here.

Apple made the right move by continuing to allow third-party OSes, but that's not equivalent to building out support. The work required to bring up a black-box SOC is hugely distinct from using first-party drivers to boot into Linux through UEFI.

The explanation here still wasn't clear to me after several readings. They're showing that a bias towards social spending on the elderly was co-related with higher overall debt. But I'm unclear on their explanation.

Given they're talking about mortgage debt in particular, would like to see plotted against housing prices.

Especially curious if certain kinds social spending helps shore up baseline housing prices by increasing aggregate spending, by putting more cash in the system but also by reducing foreclosures/bankruptcies.

And most importantly, if seniors can stay in their homes longer -- because of adequate pension systems -- that means less houses dumped on the market. "Selling the family home so I can afford to retire" (aka downsizing) is a pretty common maneuver in the Anglo-American economies [where pensions are dubious]. When all the baby boomers finally liquidate their real estate assets, it should be interesting to see what happens to housing prices. in North America
>EVs can happily scale to a much smaller size than ICE cars can

No, they cannot; in fact, small size is their primary weakness. Compact car-sized EVs currently get about 200-250km of range at best- they're physically unable to carry enough battery power to make them viable. Gas-powered subcompact cars get 2-3 times the range of the comparable electric and have a significantly smaller TCO. They aren't an upgrade, and will never be an upgrade.

Where EVs shine is in the inherently energy-wasteful lifted station wagon (SUV/crossover) market segment that's overwhelmingly popular today (to the point where a significant number of manufacturers have abandoned standard cars entirely), mainly because those vehicles are big enough to hold the number of batteries needed to get a somewhat-competitive range with their similarly-sized gas counterparts. Yes, this means we burn even more natural gas at night to charge those land yachts up to the point it's kicking out more emissions than encouraging subcompact gas cars would, but out of sight, out of mind, right?
Nonsense. Farms obviously predate suburbs, for one thing: nothing resembling the modern suburb could exist without steam power or something newer than that. There's never really been heavy industry in the suburbs: the modern suburb exists because people didn't want to live near the heavy industry in the cities.

The North American suburb, which is what we're discussing here unless I misunderstand, more or less came about in the post-war era. It would really be an extraordinary claim that farms and heavy industry couldn't exist in North America until the 1950s...
When you live in a stable society and have gotten a free education and a nice job, it makes sense to get a loan to buy a place to live and start paying a mortgage instead of debt.

Contrast with a society where the average education might be lower, less people having a stable job in a slow labor market, and if you lose your job there is no safety net. Hard to get a loan, so end up renting for longer, and in turn have a lower average debt.

Debt can be a proxy for a well working society, as you have the means to invest in your future, not just putting out short term fires.
> False. Lenovo hardware contains a lot of proprietary undocumented parts that required reverse engineering to get working on Linux/BSD. The parts that didn't require reverse engineering (Intel GPU) were not made by Lenovo.

How is it false? Whether the parts were made by Lenovo or not is irrelevant. It may not be 100% open (and this is probably not due to parts that Lenovo themselves created), but it is substantially open, which is far more than can be said about the Macs, which are virtually undocumented system-architecture wise, and who knows what Apple will do in the future to hamstring efforts to use them outside the walled garden.

> Apple hardware is "open" as far as they don't try to prevent other operating systems to be installed. Apparently they made it reasonably straightforward for the Asahi team.

That is not "open", it's just "not openly hostile to reverse engineering...yet".
US: Hey Germany, you shouldn't be so reliant on Russian NG/Oil (buy ours instead)

Germany: We're ok, thank you for your concern

Russia: cuts back NG/Oil going through pipelines to Germany

US: Let's just make that permanent. Germany doesn't know what's good for itself. Boom. Hey Germany, now that you can't get it from Russia, would you like to buy some of ours? We've been telling you, ahem, warning you, for years, friend.
My site https://aidev.codes is also up..no need to download anything.
Retaliation is not emulation. If they did that domestically and the US also did that domestically it would be emulation. This is similar to tariff wars, if they impose a tariff on something then you retaliate proportionally.

We have an unequal trade with China where they ban western companies but their companies do what they want even while being state controlled under a hostile regime. This alone is a good reason to ban any Chinese social media company
I can't speak for GP but: (frame of reference: I'm a political moderate and not a socialist)

I appreciate that capitalism has been better than any of its competitors in every case to date in raising living standards. There's no question.

But I still think it isn't equipped to handle automation and AI on a very large scale. If I'm right it'll become painfully obvious as soon as something approaching or close-enough to AGI appears. And the trajectory we're on seems to make that appear to be something we'll see in the 2020s rather than the 2100s or beyond as I previously thought.

If by 2029 90% of the knowledge work humans do today can be done more cheaply by a LLM, that's a tremendous shock to the system. Especially if they'll be able to start to write code efficiently and create new AI models to solve problems, we could rapidly see easier problems like self-driving cars solved in a few years. Which leaves as available human jobs "politician" (presumably robots are banned from holding office) as well as any forms of skilled and unskilled manual labor that require walking around. If computer vision etc become good enough it's not hard to conceive of a bipedal android that can do tasks like build houses, deliver packages from a truck, etc.

In this situation, the vast majority of Americans would not have "jobs" in that no business wants their labor when a machine is cheaper and better. Capitalism dictates that those 90% starve. See the problem?

Note: I'm not saying the above will come true. Just that if the technology part does come through, I'm arguing capitalism as-is simply will not work anymore. And the breakdown would hurt everyone. The wealthy won't have any consumers to sell to when all consumers are unemployed.

Capitalism works imho because of scarcity. When 'labor' isn't really scarce anymore due to AI, that is a fundamental change that is bound to totally transform the game. It's like playing Mario Bros with gravity turned to 10000% so you can't jump. The game controls and level design then no longer make sense.
Those are way too broad terms for this conversation to go anywhere. The point is, what's to say the LLM is not doing "extrapolation via approximation" or some process that is analog to how we think? We barely understand how the brain works to start with.
> If you are shot and the surgeon goes to perform life-saving surgury, but it turns out you have an allergy to the anesthetic and it kills you, is that ironic? A doctor who was intending to save you actually killed you.

Oh come on.

A device which was made for one purpose and one purpose only -- to stop the president from getting shot ends up getting the president shot. This is the direct opposite of the intention of the thing's existence -- hence "intentionally ... the opposite of its plain meaning".

If you want to purposefully dilute things to make a point you can do that, but it is dishonest.
First: If you need help, get help. If you can't do it, stop trying to do it.

Second: There are communities (homeschool co-ops and such) that can help.

Third, though: Do not underestimate yourself. You know a lot of physics for a third-grader. You can teach that, even if you have to read the textbook right beside the student. (You may not be able to by high school, though.) And you have a great advantage. One of the key things in teaching is classroom size. The difference between a classroom of 30 and an classroom of 4 is massive.
People care if you use GPT because it has capabilities that other AIs don’t have.

Also, I imagine that web assembly is a bytecode format and that should be _less_ susceptible to spectre.

> My knowledge is that European urban planning was very similar and car centric until the late 60s

There was and is scarce 'city planning' in Europe because there is scarce planning that can be done. The majority of cities have emerged in the middle ages at the latest, and there is nothing that can be done to 'plan' them. Even for the peripheries (as they are called) this is so: They formed around the villages or remote settlements in the peripheries of the cities, so there was no planning there at all.

The closes that can be said to be built 'around cars' would be the urban construction of gated communities or high rises in the peripheries. But they still were not built around cars - those communities can still perfectly live within their own locale by having access to everything. The only difference that requires a car would be those people having jobs in the city and having to drive 20-30 minutes every day to the city and back.

> Though, bottom line, my point is US and EU cities were designed very similarly from 1940 until 1970

That is patently false.
You got these applications because almost nobody hires junior developers. I'm sure they would rather apply to 'entry level developer' job listings, but there are none, so they apply to whatever they can find.

Why aren't there any entry level positions? We don't need any, we have 100M people with degrees everyone else in the world banging down the door to work here, so there's no incentive for corporations to train junior developers.
That sounds reasonable in theory, but doesn't work out in practice.
Oh, I COMPLETELY misread due to my biases. My fault. You are completely right.

Perhaps I'm not as good as a negotiator as I thought (or the schedules are within the past two years) b/c I haven't ever received an offer that balances the agreed upon TC as you describe. It sounds great!
My comment was removed because it doesn’t support the current orthodoxy. (and could make people feel bad about their new climate religion)

I would be great if the censure applied here would put the comments censored on another page with a link to it.

That way people interested could see what is removed and why. Instead of being it silent and hidden.

More and more I feel that HN has become an echo chamber where only one direction is allowed.

TLDR: make censure explicit and visible instead of hidden.

I think highly of the new generation and would consider a good new grad about as good as me (a senior-level SWE age 26). My experience with fully learning and using Rust is that it's a constant burden for high-level work no matter how well you know it. Similarly with C++, except that is even worse.

Rust has its place for things that need to be especially optimized. It's far too pedantic for the kind of things you can do in NodeJS or Flask. New grad would be annoyed, and so would I.
The base models are reasonably competitive. But if you want to upgrade anything then they become extortionate.

I'm not so sure. There are lots of modded roms for older machines, typically to make them suitable for competition. Converting the boards to a new system is major surgery. It might be easier to write the software for a newer system but I'm not sure you save effort overall.
>bailouts and fat profits and bonuses as fundamentally incompatible.

I noticed you specifically called out "bonuses" but not salaries or wages, implying that bonuses are bad but salaries and wages are not. However, as I pointed out, the bonuses should effectively be counted as wages because they're expected.
"...the leading NATO countries are supporting the far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine, those who will never forgive the people of Crimea and Sevastopol for freely making a choice to reunite with Russia."

> And Ku Klux Klan members are American. But you can't interchange the terms willy-nilly. Eg it is wrong to say "Americans advocate the use of violence against people of colour and Jews".

Those leading NATO countries are supporting the regime in Kyiv, the government headed by Zelenskyy, which he also "will never forgive the people of Crimea and Sevastopol for freely making a choice to reunite with Russia." Ergo, by Putin's own words, Zelenskyy == a far right nationalist/neo-Nazi. If I say a rectangle is a four sided shape with all right angles, and describe a shape with four sides and all right angles, I just called it rectangle without actually using that word directly, right?

This is very different from your example with the KKK, as the leaders of the KKK aren't currently the leadership of the US government. If the leadership of the US government was composed of largely KKK members and they started instituting KKK policies, I would agree with that statement. Are you seriously suggesting that Putin explicitly wasn't connecting Zelenskyy to the "far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis" here?

It's all in a combination of infrastructure and riding style. If you're forced to ride with car traffic you have to go fast, which predisposes you to an aggressive road biking style. But if you do that then you also have trouble with stops and starts, which creates additional risk.

If you can go slower like a Dutch commuter, then you can also ride like them, using a step-through frame and a lower saddle. That keeps your center of gravity down and allows scooting starts. All of this adds up to a substantially smaller risk of going head-first in a fall.
I misread and didn't realize the schedule changed from the offers I received 2+ years ago. This compensation structure is definitely my preference.
Well, completely deconstruct the globalized civilization we have today for a start. Everything that requires putting carbon into the atmosphere would need to be judged for whether or not it is truly necessary. And if you really want to exhibit wisdom rather than just intelligence, you'd want to start considering how things are going to work if renewables and nuclear simply just don't scale no matter what innovation you try.
In the real world, this may not hold for niche knowledge streams (eg theoretical CS). 21-year-olds growing up in the 21st century can optimise far better than 31-year-olds, with far better availability of specialist knowledge from a much earlier age
