Interesting and scary take.

Isn’t that very expensive?

Is their goal letting people avoid facial recognition, or is that just a marketing tactic and their goal is to maximize profits?

> The algorithm on the textile hinders the object recognition software’s capabilities, causing it to not recognize the person wearing this garment. Instead, it recognizes the textile as nothing, a “zebra”, or a “giraffe”.

That’s just inaccurate; it would be more accurate to say: the pattern on the textile may cause some algorithms (which ones? how often?) to misbehave.
PHP language and ecosystem as clear as possible. no piss races. there are no marketing developers. or they probably exist but i don't see them.
The problem isn't how you, an engineer, perceives the tool could be useful.

The problem is how your CEO, not an engineer, perceives the tool could be useful.
These tools you mention are worse but that doesnt mean react is great. The two statements dont negate each other.
Goodhart's law: if you rely on a social signal to tell you what's good, you'll break that signal.

Very soon, the domain of bullshit will extend to actual text. We'll be able to buy HN comments by the thousand -- expertly wordsmithed, lucid AI comments -- and you can get them to say "this GitHub repo is the best", or "this startup is the real deal". Won't that be fun?
Rust sucks for UI, async services, language runtimes, and a couple other things because memory usage patterns of those apps don't favor Rust's memory/safety model? I mean, who would've thought? Rust was introduced as a "systems" programming language after all, and doesn't have to be everything to everybody. Rust isn't even extensively used within its originating project/org (FF/Moz).

IMHO, Rust's anti-C/C++ narrative also starts from wrong assumptions: in traditional Unix, what you're doing with C (apart from the OS) is implement the runtime of higher-level languages, but no-one has bothered to implement JavaScript or other engine with GC (let alone JIT) because committing to Rust's one-size-fits-all borrow checker just means the result can't be competitive. malloc()/free() also sucks, but its problems are only amplified by today's desire for single-process multithreaded or async backends; for one-shot commandline apps or process-per-request backends OTOH, there hasn't been much of a problem.

Did that ever happen? I thought people were normally enslaved outside British territory.

Hmm... I'm now wondering if North Africa should be paying reparations as the ones who did the actual enslaving.
So... what happened?

This just appears to say they moved on, but why? Is there some sort of conclusion from all of this? Was it a funding problem, an analysis problem, a lack of useful results?

What has been achieved in the time this ran?

This could use more detail.
The article notes this, and like any spam detection method, it has a degree of false positives, but it seems very low (less than a percent according to the article). I'm sure an official implementation of this could take more internal, non-public factors into account, like IP addresses and clustering of account creation times, to make it even more accurate and drastically reduce the amount of spam users.
Composer autoloading and the PSR-4 naming convention works just fine, since you have to separate the class names with some kind of information about the developer, followed by the name of the class. Java uses a similar naming scheme too ("org.apache.commons.SomeClass" etc.) though autoloading is specific to PHP.

I'm curious as to why you consider autoloading over PSR-4 namespaces as insufficient.

The main reasons being facebook’s popularity and herd mentality.
In person, I get it. You chill with someone you like, you don't need to do much to enjoy it. Like reading together, or just being there.

However, I don't get watching pewdiepie playing something. I just can't groke it. You don't know the person, the person is not in the room, the person is not even currently playing since it's a recording. It's a flat image of someone else having fun. And not somebody particularly good, interesting or special.

I tried to tell myself it's like watching porn: you watch somebody else having sex, why not play video game? But something doesn't click for me.

I miss the point entirely.
France has the same energy price rises as the rest of Europe last year, since so many of their reactors weren't working. Most of them are also aging.

Their average prices are only a little below the EU average.

> I suspect at some stage “software development” will mean feeding business requirements (with some degree of precision) into the algorithm and letting it handle

That’s just a higher level programming language… And we all know that it doesn’t solve things.
The path to modest generational wealth is pretty straightforward, pay off all your debts, don't borrow money, invest at least 15% of your income toward retirement in stable low-risk index funds or managed mutuals and leave it alone. Don't waste on big toys and you'll be a millionaire in a couple decades.

It's really really that simple. If your income is not enough to achieve the above state loop, then you'll need to put effort into increasing available income; whether by reducing expenses or increasing income by way of self education, career change, etc.

It's not hard. Anyone in America with $35,000/yr is in the 1% of the world's economic strata.
What trip is "it" you're referring to that would take 11-20 hours?

The busiest domestic US air route is Las Vegas - Los Angeles, which takes only a bit more than an hour. There is an idea to connect them by high-speed rail which would make the trip 3 hours: https://www.hsrail.org/brightline-west/.

That would be faster than driving, which lots of people do as well.
Outsourcing has always been possible even without WFH possibilities, but many companies reverted from that for good reason. There are also advantages of WFH on whole other levels, like many environmentally. I don't get the point about workplace angst (x), and if there is any, that genie will be hard to put back into the bottle. Personally, don't see this happening though for things that were valid before much for before more WFH.

(x): On the other hand, that is also what is usually driving crazy things like the Mexican wall, to name it symbolically.. so I can at least comprehend partly.
Nerdctl/containerd has IPFS support :)

I participate of some invite-only communities for a while and you have a point, being a dissent it’s quite challenging and demands extra reasoning to express that.

On the other side, the real issue moderating any closed invite-only community is that the false positive cost is too high and it can fall apart the entire thing, e.g. 90% of the people stops to post/share/interact.
I don't see the point of questioning Mark Zuckerberg. It's the same as questioning Chat GPT. The answers are all auto-generated to sound realistic, with plenty of hedges at the end to avoid taking responsibility for anybody's misperceptions.
The scary part is that this doesn't seem too far off, with the current proliferation of large language models like the GPTs..
But that would be totally unrelated to ChatGPT or anything resembling it. Sure, there could be another advance in AI, probably using another approach, but how is that different from 5 years ago?

TIL: you can buy (fake) GitHub stars.

That was a bit shocking to me to learn.
I think it's more like sitcoms. A cast of slightly funny and charismatic characters going through mildly interesting experiences has been a mainstay of entertainment media for some time now.
> looking back, it honestly it is somewhat to see the state of cryptocurrencies today.

Steam and pretty much every other regular retailer dropped Bitcoin support five years ago. The state of Bitcoin feels even more hopeless today than it did back then. It is impressive how you can run a trillion dollar pyramid scheme on just digital nothingness, but I always hoped for cryptocurrency to eventually turn into a real digital cash. Bypassing the fees and incompatibles between regular payment schemes. But none of that has happened. Bitcoin is still slow and expensive and there is hardly anything you can buy with it anyway. Worse yet, most Bitcoin still gets stored in "banks" instead of being self hosted, so it failed on the whole P2P cash thing as well.

It's impressive tech, but for all the wrong reasons.

I think dev wages will stagnate across the board. I think the simple existence of the fear of being replaced by never-tiring, always-working AI will subconsciously prime devs to be willing to work for less. Devs have been in a market with a significant shortage of skilled labor; can we say that remains true after GPT hits the mainstream even more than it already has?
Hopefully now with more information available out there us workers can stand up more for ourselves and get more for the value of our labor and expertise!
GitHub is fully aware of these, would they consider something like a "confirmed" star count that subtracts the suspicious/fake number? Or is that too much of a slippery slope.
Organisations such as businesses also have legal personhood, that also suffer from this very issue.
The giant kelp forests of California 90% died in the past decade. They were sequestering the equivalent of $1.5B worth of carbon per year. The geography is such that the kelp would grow and get sucked down into the deep sea each year.

If it were possible to regenerate this forest, who should get the money? Is there a way that the ecosystem itself could have a trust to ensure it’s long term ecological viability?

Having a fukushima and a three mile island happen every year would be easily worth it if it made nuclear 20% cheaper (feel free to do the maths if you dont believe me). And it would actually make things fourfold cheaper judging by the difference in price per KW between the 80s and now.

Ask HN: Why aren't we seeing ChatGPT/GPT4 spam attacks
Why aren't we (I) seeing massive ChatGPT/GPT4 spam attacks, or are they already here and just too good?
That, apart from the first line, seems like a pretty generic/off-topic "I don't get philosophy and it's stupid" rant that could equally well be pasted under any story involving philosophy.

I don't see how it relates at all to the comment you replied to, which I thought was a good one.
To begin with, the fact the "module" system is tied to classes is a horrible design flaw. (Also in Java, but Java leans into it - PHP still has functions and lots of stuff is clearer as functions.)
And why do you think current ones cost 4x as much as 80s ones even after you adjust for inflation and power output?
Yeah I wouldn't call it keys to the castle. But you can confirm your competitor has a penalty, and if they do run a negative SEO campaign (bad links) and to make it harder for them to get out of

I deleted my Facebook a long time ago and never looked back. I don't give a shit about Instagram. I wish I didn't use Reddit, but am finding it increasingly cynical and tiresome.

Sorry to break it to you dude but HN is social media...
It’s extremely unlikely because the accumulation tends to happen in top-of-foodchain fish. When fish eat fish that eat fish that eat fish, there can we quite a bit of accumulation. Smaller fish tend to be safer. I’d imagine that plants at the bottom of the foodchain would be very safe.

Hyperinflation or Covid

I have a great desktop, and every day I curse Apple and Tim Cook because I cannot get an iPad Pro that runs full macOS.

That would be the ideal device for me when I'm on the go, that I can still use to watch Youtube videos in the bathroom. I do not need a full laptop when I work at home with a $5,000 desktop PC, nor I want to buy a crappy $300 laptop that always feels slow and underpowered.

It is really sad to have the tech to do something, but it doesn't exist because the bean counters said no.
Uranium and expensive plant resources are much too valuable to waste on this application. Buy some solar panels and do your hobby/discretionary computing using the much cheaper and unlimited power from our sun.
Yeah, the synchronous updates are a big deal. To get an idea of how much bandwidth this typically takes, Oracle has 1600gbps per node of interconnect with latency very low, guessing in the tens of microseconds. A really good home connection might have 1gbps of interconnect with latency in the tens of milliseconds. The big question is whether we really need all this interconnect -- GPT-JT[1] is a very promising step in this direction. The idea is that we just drop most of the gradient updates and it still works well. Unclear whether this will take off generally -- if it does it would be a huge deal, because 1600gbps of interconnect is very expensive.

Ask HN: Namecheap jacked up the price on a domain name, can you explain?
Namecheap just quoted me $24 for registration of a domain name, multiple times. After attempting to add it to my cart, each time, it failed to add to cart. Now when I search for the domain, it quotes me $1.5k.

I've never had this happen before with Namecheap. What gives? I'm trying to assume the best. What is an explanation here that is not malicious intent?
Can we please stop with this?

> Is this sarcasm?

No. I’m a long way — physically — from ‘the valley’, and I’m certainly not young.

When I say ‘HN’ I mean the day to day discussion on this site. I know there’s VC and whatnot here but really, mostly, that’s not what I’m reading. Perhaps I subconsciously avoid it?

I’m reading people who are passionate about technology. I’m reading nerds who love a new thing. That’s what brings me back here day after day.
Parent was definitely not referring to these at all /s
Who told you that you'll have a job until your performance drops? Was that the contract? You'll have a job for as long as you're needed to the company. Once your services are no longer required you'll be laid off. Why should anyone pay you if they no longer need your services? Is this the social contract in USA?

I see nothing deceptive nor cruel in it, unless Google promised not to fired these people

Now, Visa workers and people who moved should be taken care of separately, I agree. Firing them is not ok, at least not without extra compensation. However, are they a big percentage of those laid-off? Centering discussion about minority like if they are majority isn't helpful.

As for power imbalance.. Those hired at FAANG are one of the smartest people in the population. They should have known all of this and factor in all of this. It's hard to treat seriously people who make $300k/year and say they were cruely harmed because they were fired and now they may need to apply to another job.

I wrote this elsewhere, but I do not support Google. I view them as amoral, they make whatever is necessary to maximize profit.
I don't think it's mentioned as "this is bad", it's "this is what they pretend to be about to lure in young men who lack direction in life so they can exploit them".
I hope those fired employees get to keep both kidneys.

ByteDance just announced they are going all coreboot/linuxboot on their hyper scaler. That can’t be to keep the CCP out haha

How did you find out the name of the company behind GitHub24 though? If I go to their website I do cannot see it, I even cannot find anything if I search the company name.
That would be true, if majority of those fired were visa workers, or people who moved across country. Is this the case?
How do you to zero-copy message passing if you have one heap per actor? Or am i misunderstanding and a couple of actors share a heap, but there is no giant heap?
Possibly, like latino soap opera but for kids.

I never could grasp the former, so maybe that's why I don't get the latter.

I browse youtube anonymously and so I get the neutral youtube experience, with what it things the average user wants.

Today I say a video suggestion with kids in the pics and a title "we made a blind test to distinguish frozen food from real one".

It's a really easy thing to do with your friend and family, unlike the soap opera scenario. It's typically stuff I have done, and actually still do.

So there must be a component I miss.
Why? You can find these websites anyway if you search for terms like "buy github stars"
I once assisted a photographer who spent weeks, in some cases months planning a single photo, scouting locations etc, then hauled her gear (big format film) there, and took the photo which more or less turned out as she imagined. After spending time in the darkroom and then post-processing the scans on her giant Mac, that is ^^ But she knew what exact photo she wanted, and how to get it, and then "just" worked her ass off to do just that.

It's not what I like doing -- even if I had it in me -- because I like finding things, and also looking at things nobody thought of, until there was a photo of them; but it still deeply impressed me. It really was as if she was painting with light.
"I Love Lucy" (its first few seasons), "Frasier", "Seinfeld", "Friends", "The Bob Newhart Show", "How I Met Your Mother", "Sex and the City", and "Big Bang Theory" are some of many TV shows taking place in middle-income apartments.

"The Jeffersons" live in a "Deluxe Apartment in the Sky".

Diff'rent Strokes took place in the apartment home of a multi-millionaire.

In "Green Acres" they left a "penthouse view" apartment to live in a run-down house.
Perhaps they got it via payment info
It's easy: people watch other people play ball on television instead of playing themselves. Sometimes they watch celebrities play ball, because they suck at it, but it's entertaining. Same thing here with video games, you might watch a pro, you also might watch a great entertainer.

> living in Asia, can charge 50-100$ per hour, which comparatively to the US, would be 100$+-500$ per hour. And that is happening a lot now.

Numbers please.. you mean only now due to the WFH move upper management realised they don't need to watch butts in chairs and can hire anyone from all over the world and look at that economic advantage, though that had been always possible before, and was even often attempted with varying success, but now no concerns anymore? Doubts..
I've explained it to myself like this: It's exactly like watching sports.

You want to watch it live on tv, even though the fact that you're watching has zero impact on the result. You're just watching other people play a game. You could do anything else and just check the scores afterwards, but still you want to watch it.

Some people will watch a recording of the game and still enjoy it even though the scores were determined hours ago.

The younger generation does the same thing, but instead of sports they watch someone play a game.

I don't understand either, but I can live with it =)
OK, sounds reasonable. I didn't see the edit either, was just thinking about the myriad of LLM articles on the front page recently.
Sure, but the small & efficient networks so far have been pretty poor. Edge AI was hugely hyped a few years ago and it petered out. All of the big tech companies seems to be chasing the biggest networks with the largest training sets, that seems to be the direction for now.

There could be huge efficiency savings within the implementations but when training costs are already this high it seems naive to think the low-hanging fruit is still there.
