It's not surprising to me that we process faces the same whether we see them in person or on a screen, that's because screens are designed to accurately display the visual qualities of their subjects. That is not even close to the same thing as saying "celebrities are stored in the same place as your friends".
They could, but instead they're doing something closer to static scheduling. They have a small set of applications and a lot of visibility into what their needs are going to be, so the complexity of a dynamic scheduler might not pay its own freight in their environment.

I like Nomad a lot and it's what I would use if I were migrating a "halfheartedly" K8s application to on-prem metal, but I couldn't blame someone who felt burned by K8s complexity for not investing in another dynamic scheduler.
Another banned poem form the same user:

[POEM] Time Rhymes with Limes - by Alien(s?)
When Time rhymes with limes,
and there is lemonade to be made,
do your dimes align
with what human-kind has made:
Grams/meters/seconds? Talk to the wall...
Rather than discussing time, space or energy, with (almost) any of y'all.
Because, with many of you, an economy of important things, like love and trust,
are just one TV special away about the pelvic thrust, self-hatred and violent lust.

Subdivisional teams of all humanity's dreams all say:
"we're all here to stay";
but few of these actually cares
what nature really dares, everywhere, then, now, here and (soon) astray...

Computational physics: why their dimes are diluting;
Quantum internet and computing: extraterrestrial visits.
Because: humans are not a hive, swarm or even worth hugs,
when indivisibility has become the choice between
deciding whether you're just one, or another, species of bug.

Now, just to kill your buzz, here's a bit of a hug from extraterrestrial alien love:
Learn some math and programming,
lest your physics be damningly bent
and your consciousness negative-one violent head-slamming event
away from anything cognitive, loving, and sentient;
Trust not damage to causality, time, or memory,
because: Thermodynamics and ever-increasing entropy are not relished by humanity's majority,
which look like hydrodynamics, to the slim minority which really value hugs, but are hidden in the ridden, in lieu of guns, thugs and pugs.

Have you the time to de-riddle this shrine,
may accurate and precise love and trust now be yours, and mine.
Have you the time to belittle this about a lime, then here: have another dime, you little piece of slime...

-An Alien (Race?)

we had a significant issue in ChatGPT due to a bug in an open source library, for which a fix has now been released and we have just finished validating. a small percentage of users were able to see the titles of other users’ conversation history. we feel awful about this.

we're having a significant issue in ChatGPT due to a bug in a proprietary, closed-source library. Unfortunately the developers have not responded to our report, and as we do not have access to the code, we cannot fix the bug ourselves. we feel awful about this. perhaps this is why OSS is so widely-accepted in the software engineering community, and many of the widely-used libraries of today are open source.

Sounds like not a real thing and someone trying to make a point on the interwebs. I've lived in buildings that were converted from commercial to residential of various forms as well as having a parent that was in construction doing this very thing.

Yes, by default commercial buildings have centralized plumbing for common facilities. That is easily remedied with a few holes added into the concrete, and new plumbing run.

Enough windows? WhatTheHuh? Commercial => Residential building conversions do often end up with some "unique" floor plans sometimes referred to as "shotgun" layouts due to their long and narrow designs. This ensures each unit has some windows (most often you can't open them as the original design didn't open). Interior spaces get converted into other common area/use spaces without window access.
It is reasonable to think of it that way. Certainly high-level information from the data is extracted and embedded within a model, but only the information necessary for the model being trained. Whereas if the data itself was being sent, then all of the information is available. Additionally, through added protections (differential privacy being one) it is possible to engineer the federated system such that the data itself can not be reconstructed from model itself.
Why can't they both be right? Futures aren't securities except in certain cases, and if bitcoin is a currency then bitcoin futures wouldn't be under SEC jurisdiction.

Ask HN: Is software going to replace managers?
Ok - so there is a bbc podcast on this I am halfway through - it's pretty darn good but it has a sort of thesis that you can replace the manager part with some co-ordination software.

Which kind of begs the question what is a manager?

Anyway - my first thought is coders are new managers (the real knowledge workers are CPUs and GPUs, and if the job of a manager is to build systems to co-ordinate and improve their workers, then that is a good description of a coder)

and second thought is that an awful
lot of what is table stakes for a software project today is replacing co-ordination with software

A simple CO/CD pipeline plus regression testing allows disparate teams to work on the same "system" without serious conflicts, and throw in decent feature flaggging and much of the "programme manager role is gone"

it's late, but I am interested in peoples thoughts
I assume you've thought this through pretty deeply. But I still have to ask. Why this vs. the traditional route of hiring a few more folks full-time? Especially if you are well funded.

To ask this another way. Is it worth spending an innovation token on how you hire developers?
> If your programming job consists of simply receiving a greenfield spec and banging out the code for it over and over, LLMs might be an issue.

I think LLMs are going to be very powerful for brownfield coding too.
I see both sides. This dilemma is capitalist hell.

Why is obdev sku-ifying their product? Because the incentive model for selling a license means that the market can saturate and there is a lack of recurring or stable income/income safety for the dev. In order to get new spikes of income, a new product is generated. If the market for a particular license becomes saturated, how will they make more money?

Licensed based sales incentivizes creation of new product and disincentivizes incremental improvements on already complete products.

On the other hand, subscription models incentivize rent seeking. If money is coming in, there is no reason to do more work. Income is not dependent in any way for work done, except maybe compatibility adjustments.

So a license is a wonderful model for the buyer and not so great for the seller. A subscription is awful for the buyer, but too good for the seller.

So what kind of payment method/pricing scheme, keeps the developer engaged in improving the product, but doesn't incentivize rent-seeking?

How would you price things if you were the seller?
"By itself" where? You're going to toggle it in on the front panel?

If you want to run an executable you have to have some kind of service (in the broad sent) set up to receive it and run it. Same with a docker image. Those services are, if anything, more readily available and standardised for docker than they are for executables.

I know from personal experience of making and selling an App Store app [1] that it can be difficult to show accurate pricing on your products website.

There can be 175+ different territories that you may sell an app in, each with a different local price point. You also can't expect to simply show a converted $US dollar amount either as you may want to do price discrimination (so that the app is cheaper for regions that cannot afford the exact $US equivalent).

Overall options seem to be:

1. Don't show pricing and leave it for the App Store to display - the most common approach

2. Only show $US pricing on the website and let non-US customers manually translate to their local pricing - not a great experience for non-US users

3. Manually or automatically sync pricing on the website display with the actual current App Store pricing. This is quite a labour or integration intensive task and I've only seen this been done by large vendors

I'm not sure if I completely follow the parent, but I would also be concerned since it means it'll be far more difficult to negotiate above the range. In the obfuscated market, if you are good at proving your value and negotiating, then the usual range people have in mind for that type of job becomes less relevant. But if the range is explicit and paying one person above that range will disadvantage the company (since they now have to increase the range and give more leverage to everyone else), they will be less flexible.

It should be good for the middle and low ends, but I expect pretty bad for the high-end of any given job type.
>I have two examples of middle aged friends who have changed

Yes. My experience teaching college courses gives me wider & more systematic knowledge on college freshmen in particular, but on a much more anecdotal basis I see people who never quite learn how to organize their ideas effectively in a written form during college. If they get there, they gain it over time in their professional careers by example & through absorbing the cultural norms of communicating in their professional sphere.

And this ability is the foundation of persuasive communication, written or verbal.

That is particularly problematic because persuasive ability is so important in day to day life, career, personal relationships, etc. You need to persuade people to give you a job[1]. You need to persuade colleagues to listen to & adopt your ideas or suggestions when they differ from the established path, or to initially establish a path to begin with. You need to persuade potential dating partners to date you (which may just be a dating profile) and then to continue dating you (which is much more complex than a profile and is perhaps more tied to personality than persuasive ability. Persuasion is required in nearly all aspects of life. I frequently have to persuade people to make decisions that are better in the long term but less appealing in the short term, (and sometimes vice versa) and the nature of my work is to do so with solid data & analysis. (And I'm not always successful even when they agree my data is accurate & reasoning is sound!). People just don't make decisions by following the results of formal logical expressions like p -> q && ¬r. Often not even through lack of understanding logic but because IRL situations are often a lot messier than that:

I lost a "battle" once-- rightfully so! -- even though I demonstrated a course of action that had better long term economic outcomes. This was fully understood & acknowledged but the issue in question might have relevance on risk and uncertainty of bond credit ratings that resulted in a judgement call that short term risks in a worst case scenario would be worse than missing out on the benefits of taking a more long term view. Outcomes were uncertain, my job was to present things based on known data & possible risks, and the job of leadership to make those judgment calls.

I started my career at a company that was excellent at capacity management and prediction. Using physical hardware they never hit a capacity problem, ever, despite growing like crazy. This did require the Marketing department being in close communication with the IT department about upcoming campaigns.

Everywhere else though have been terrible at predicting future capacity needs. As far as I can tell that's because they just use tools that gives a prediction based only on historical growth.

I guess my point is that it's entirely possible to be good at capacity management, and if you are then the lead time disadvantage of physical hardware can be completely negated.
> I'm not sure they'd apply if you wanted to send a wire.

Not many people (at least, people who don't deal with large sums) have experience with doing a wire transfer. Sometimes they're a bitch to deal with - but it's what you'd use if you are doing very large sums (like, in the order of 6 or 7 figures or more).
A lot of people are kind of missing the forest for the trees here. Ignore the fact that what they're doing is probably a terrible idea for most other people. If it works for them, that's fine. It might only work for them, and that's fine.

Which wheel did they reinvent? Rails literally set a bunch of standards used by just about every framework today… app generators, conventions over configuration, asset pipelines, you name it.
Lifetime pricing / one-time purchases seem to be a double-edged sword for app sellers.

You satisfy users who are happy to pay a large amount upfront by they are also likely your most enthusiastic customers. So in essence they would be the customers who would probably pay more than 3 years of subscriptions over the period the lifetime payment covers.

Users who aren't that enthusiastic are more likely to not use the app for long periods and also unlikely to pay a large upfront cost.

there was an interesting interview on Kudlow the other day (which I guess was a WSJ piece also? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2OELV5vVZU ) about "how it happened" at SVB.

I don't know if "the experts" all agree with "this expert" but he pointed out that in buying all the mortgage backed securities, SVB got to put them in a "hold to maturity" account that is not "marked to market" (the value in the account does not match their decreased market value, so on the books it looks like a lot of value in there, but in reality it's not)

at the same time, as the coupons on these bonds pay out and the bank collects them, that money just shows up on the bank's income statement, not landing in the hold to maturity account itself as part of the value of the asset. This rings all the "hey, look we are profitable" and "hey don't I get a bonus" bells, twisting incentives for the bank and its officers (and other banks) to keep do this, lather rinse repeat.

recipe for disaster when interest rates go up.

If I had to guess, the SEC is actually saying "you are offering many products, and _way too many of them_ are securities. We will not list them all because it would be way too much work. We will not list one because we don't want you to overfit on the example. We want you to actually do the analysis across all of your products".

I have to imagine the SEC and Coinbase are in fact talking directly on a more off the record basis here as well... but who knows.

I think the equivalent here is the IRS saying "look, these numbers look wrong to us. Please check them. We are not in the job of doing taxes for you".

IMO if you're doing containers and cloud deployment then there's no point bothering with the OS layer. It'd be better to just build unikernels and deploy those directly.

> But a flight that costs half of a dinner with wine in NYC? If they don’t get me there 10 minutes early, you’ll never hear the end of it.

If the powers that be really wanted to simplify the front end stack all you need is DOM and events. Everything else can be folded into one of those or be an island unto itself.
Sigh. This is the fate of ALL systems. Once something gets complicated, it gets progressively more complicated to change anything.

NYC is an example of a runaway complexity. So now 1 mile of Manhattan subway costs about the same as 1000 miles of 6-lane freeway.

The correct way to fix it is: don't. Stop encouraging density, instead make sure that other cities can thrive by providing incentives for companies to build in sparse areas.
No. Some bytecode compiled languages are compiled and require at least an archive to be unzipped or at least the virtual machine pre installed.

Java is an example -- you'll want your your system java deployment to match the stuff stashed in your jar.

Erlang is compiled but usually releases bundle the VM up with the project, so you typically deliver a full directory with the VM packed in there.
Thank you, I very much dislike "youtube shorts"
Yes it does !

The SEC told them already several times that their products are securities, it's just that Coinbase ignored it completely.

As for the reason why usually the SEC (although I'm no expert here) don't provide a specific definition, I suppose it's similar to regulating financial markets - especially in trading.

There are concepts like "spoofing", for which there is no exact definition provided by the regulator - for the simple reason that if they do provide it, the rational actors will push it to the limits, or try to find loopholes.

Everybody knows what they can or cannot do - it's just common sense.
I did this actually, and the pluses were:

- Dollar cost was 1/4 to 1/3 what a builder estimated. (Labor savings)

- I saw continuous progress with no surprise delays.

- It was easier and cheaper to do custom solutions or adjustments as unforseen issues came up.

- Was fun and I learned a lot.

Minuses:

- Material costs were higher than if contractors bought due to retail purchasing.

- It took over a year, versus 5-6 month estimate from builders.

- Was a lot of personal time and learning.

This reminds me of political discourse. We solve all the easy problems (murder is wrong, we all agree), and then we're left with the tough questions like abortion and civil rights. It's not that we can't agree, it's that we solved everything that is solvable (without great difficulty).

Maybe we've now built everything that's easy to build, and all that's left is the hard stuff.
