Google is restricting the number of questions you can ask and so is Microsoft. Already we see big players trying to “dumb” down and control responses. I really hope opensource alternatives make a real impact in this space soon.
I haven't heard of any electrically ignited primers that made it to market, but every attempt that's gone through military trials have had abysmal reliability.

But If I was factually wrong. I would at least know I'm being fact checked.

And I have no way to respond to a downvote.

Gut feelings: why drugs that nurture your microbes; the future of mental health
It ultimately comes down to covering a wide range of sources. Maybe I get used to seeing the same things in one channel, and then all of the sudden I see a billboard for a product I wasn't expecting. And then maybe I see that thing in a random magazine at the dentist's office. Now my decision fatigue is really wearing thin or maybe I think "I'm meant to buy this thing!" (kinda ridiculous I know).
I also apologise, my tone was completely wrong. If you're genuinely just writing about cool stuff you've found, I can't see the problem with an Amazon referral link (it's way less offensive that youtube monetization). I was just surprised to see it on HN.
I think using word "misleading" is also "misleading".
Dragonfly hides complexity. Docker hid complexity of managing cgroups and deploying applications. S3 hid complexity of writing into separate disks. But you do not call S3 or minio misleading because they store stuff similarly to how disk stores files. Dragonfly hides complexity of managing bunch of processes on the same instance and the outcome of this is a cheaper production stack. What do you think has higher effective memory capacity on c6gn.16xlarge: a single process using all the memory or 40 processes which you need to provision independently?
That's what the people want.

Reading is a dying art. No time; everyone is too busy and the Internet is too vast. It's all about videos and twitter-sized text.
I worked for Google for 10 years- at first in a great but intense (overworked) SRE team, then later as a SWE running my own project (again intense and overworked, but totally self-imposed) and then on various ML and 3D printing teams. By and large it was great, but it got worse over time (increasingly clueless managers with night-school MBAs) and more toxic.

Occasionally I'd see memes or posts from other teams that described business practices I couldn't believe (like, "I have to stay at the office until my manager leaves or I'll be fired, and he doesn't leave until 8PM so I dont' see my family much") which didn't make sense until I learned that entire teams were H1-B visas reporting to managers who applied caste in their jobs in the US.

Absolutely nothing I've seen compares to borg or a full TPUv4 cluster.
Faulty unit perhaps?
Some of those symptoms indicate that. Like type lagging and Chrome crashing a lot.
IMO if a third party app has to bring the feature its not really a part of the phone. Apps come and go. Plus apps like halide are paid so you could think of it as a tax to get to actually use some of the hardware you purchased.

Yes he trapped me, how clever. I hope he doesnt ask me if I've stopped beating my wife, as that is a similarly inescapable logical prison from which there is no escape. Whatever I say he wins!
fuzzy matching is honestly vastly superior to any sequential search, the few times where the match is incorrect still feels a better time investment as a user
Not failed card attempts, but I noticed a big spike in failed reoccurring charges due to "bad card number" which is funny because these people have been using the same card for over a year.
In the article, they are styled as a "content writer", but I guess scare quotes around journalist fits the picture you are trying to draw better?

They are stating a fact WITH a citation, but it annoys you?

I never understand this false outrage, honestly. Females and minorities have minuscule numbers in tech, and having a modest attempt at growing numbers has a big backlash. And in THIS case, the fact cited is that disadvantaged people are MORE likely to lose their jobs.
Riffing on that a bit, I just don't get the sense OpenAI wants to be in the business of hosting mission critical APIs for Fortune 500 companies. To your point, running AWS level services is an entirely different business that doesn't make sense for OpenAI's relatively small team. If you need rock solid stability and scale, OpenAI and Microsoft would probably rather have you just use "Azure OpenAI" services, which is still hosting Codex: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/o...

Reading between the lines, I think OpenAI is signaling that if you want a more mature and stable product, go with Azure. If you want the latest cutting edge, and don't mind a little instability, keep using OpenAI API's.
I wonder if he was using a Bluetooth keyboard. I've had to restart the Bluetooth module on my M1 a few times to stop this from happening.
"How do you maximize talent preservation and minimize morale loss when firing employees from a tree structure with height O(15), where each level under SVP (2) may have layoffs?"

Feels like the execs didn't answer this interview question well. There were better ways to accomplish this.
It's important to note that this is generative AI.

As pretty much everyone on HN is aware, AI is a broad term for a variety of technologies.

AI has been in our everyday lives for quite some time, but not in a way that generated (no pun intended) such buzz.

Having my iphone scan emails and pre-populate my calendar with invite suggestions is far less newsworthy as the ability to generate a script for an Avengers film where all the members are as in articulate as the Incredible Hulk.

If anything, with generative AI being so buzzy, this latest round of AI integration is more marketing.

What a weird way to describe it, but it is true that his writing is something you stop to admire on its own from time to time.
Thanks for sharing. I read through the sources in the article.

> Toward the end of the 45–minute experiment, analysts’ feeds were almost exclusively populated with both accurate and false content related to the war in Ukraine

A DoD funded company says that new accounts on TikTok were exposed to correct and incorrect information the Ukraine war. This is going to be true on any social media app in the entire world.

> For years, lawmakers and commentators have feared that the Chinese government could use TikTok — which is owned by a Chinese parent company, ByteDance — to secretly distribute content sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party in order to shift public opinion in the United States.

Former employees of a separate app that shut down 3 years ago claim they were told to pin videos of pandas and tourism in China to the front page.

> TikTok can collect, which includes faceprints, voiceprints, browsing history, text messages, and pretty much anything you do on your phone

Again, not unique.

Do I like TikTok? No. But I don't think hypotheticals are enough reason to ban it. I think this is a very similar scenario to the 2016 Russian misinformation hysteria that was ultimately mostly unfounded.
It's the model of almost every network-effects platform honestly, Facebook's just ruthlessly efficient in the extractive phase
He doesn't say he wasn't using it on this machine. In fact elsewhere he mentions he was.

He just says his workflow is not bound to macOS (like it would be if you would do iOS development in Xcode for example) so he's got other options too.

I'm in the same place. I also moved from Mac to a NUC with FreeBSD as my main driver. It was cheaper than a medium mac mini and that's with 64GB RAM in it and 1TB NVMe 980 Pro SSD. Whereas the mini that's more expensive wouldn't even have half that.

Additionally I have much much more customization of my user experience with KDE. So I can really tailor the interface to my workflow. This was a bigger reason to switch than the hardware price. The ability to max out the RAM for cheap was also not 100% necessary but it's nice not having to worry about this later. And it allows me to run VMs whenever I need.
Thanks a lot for sharing! I ended up watching the referenced "It's Time for Operating Systems to Rediscover Hardware" talk as well. Fascinating stuff.
If you remove the PEEK() and POKE() functions, older BASIC is also memory safe.
The defrag was a year or two before I joined, as I recall.

The remote work policy seemed to go by org. I worked in platforms, and our VP was old-school, adamantly opposed to remote work. He'd proudly walk around the office, surveying his domain. He was rather like a proctor in an exam. Meanwhile, I worked closely with several folks in the kernel team who were allowed to work remotely. One of them was very interested in what we were doing, was a luminary in his field, and wanted to transfer to our group, but worked remotely, and didn't want to give that up. Similarly, I left for Netflix because they allowed remote work in the Open Connect kernel group.
Have you left?
There's also Sile: https://sile-typesetter.org/

LaTeX (Well, LuaTeX) powers my E-ink newspaper (https://imgur.com/a/NoTr8XX), but I've been curious to use it as a vehicle to try out some of these alternatives and see if they can put together a non-trivial layout.
Hell, the Adobe suite still lacks a bit on Apple Silicon. Entire industries are built on the marriage of Adobe and Apple products. I'm not going to say that Apple Silicon sucks or that it isn't the better choice in a lot of workflows, but shifting the blame to third party developers is incredibly short sighted. The platform is in its infancy.
I don't think this qualifies as boring technology.
Some weird glitches, but a lot of these seem to boil down to "You don't need a maxed out Mini M2 Pro if you already have a high end Mini M1 from two years ago". Yeah, I can believe that.

Interesting, I'm of the first kind, who uninstalled it quickly.

I use ctrl-r a lot, though I have no issue remembering exact portions of the commands, but that may just be me.

I'll give it another try.

In the same vein as ripgrep (rg), I recommand the author (and everybody else) to give fd-find (fd) a try as a replacement to find. It's much, much faster (multithreaded search), and has better defaults to use from the shell (doesn't complain about these permissions issues, and `fd abc` is equivalent to `find. -iname 'abc'`.

A few comments here mention it already, but I wanted to recommend it.
Looks like the Amazon acquisition finally caught up. Sad, as DPR was a great resource and had an interesting community, at least until about 7 years ago when they started leaning in more to video content and less into deeply-technical reviews and discussions.
The answer is what you make of it. Lot of people are dirty minded at some level, but Melville seems to simply be a person who was not very concerned with what the world thought of him.

I would side on the platonic affection, and the creepiness of the passage seems to me to come more from the desire to communicate the madness of the situation rather than some sort of homoerotic play on words.
Small note: this doesn't reflect on Amazon. Barely anyone knew Amazon owns them, and once the site's gone, no one who didn't use dpreview will look unfavourably at Amazon for it. This was a great website that most of the world didn't use which is why Amazon can just pull the plug with literally no repercussions =(
Like he says on Twitter - was this deliberate? Doesn't seem like it yet, and there's no proof of it, but it's pretty scary. There's excellent plausible deniability, and the law enforcement benefits could be substantial.
I know at least one manager upset that they let go preferred high performers, with suspected reasoning that their comp was too high.

Google isn't banned. Google simple chose to leave china because they refuse to follow chinese laws because google is a state controlled corporation.

Repeating the same lies doesn't magically turn it into a truth.

The difference between google and tiktok is that tiktok follows all the laws and yet still is getting banned.
The difficulty with this kind of retaliation is that it's more obviously only "harming" your own citizens.

When a govt imposes trade tarriffs, it's effectively taxing it's own citizens to disincentivize them from purchasing those goods, steering towards others.

When a govt imposes bans, it's preventing it's own citizens from using a service. Yes there's an economic angle to the supplier of the service, but this isn't a financial transaction where a person would vote with their wallet to use the cheaper alternative. This is the attention economy, people want to use the platforms they enjoy using, because they're all free anyway.
How is fzf different from hstr?
Nope, just continuing your thought process. "Most don't" should probably be "Most [work] doesn't."
Okay. First I got email from Google Saying:

> Meet Bard, an early experiment by Google

> Because you’re a Google One member, we’d like to offer you the opportunity to be among the first to sign up for the new Bard experience and provide feedback. Think of Bard as your creative and helpful collaborator, here to bring your ideas to life using generative AI.

But at the same time when I opened link it offered me to join waitlist.

WTF Google?
For those using it on the Bing mobile app, in the lower right corner click Apps then you'll see a link to the image creator.

I've not played with it much but I'd say the quality and ease of use was better than Stable Diffusion but not quite on par with Midjourney.
Food prices did increase after 2008, but it wasn't overnight because the QE wasn't overnight.

Between 2008 and 2015, the Fed’s balance sheet, its total assets, ballooned from $900 billion to $4.5 trillion. Likewise, food prices also increased.

However, this time we injected over $6 trillion in only a few months. A much faster rate of growth resulting in quickly rising inflation.
Thank you! I shared a little about the process on twitter here: https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1638191349261377539.

Start to finish... a long, long time. 18 months on and off, 4 months full time. I started this before I was employed at PlanetScale and when I joined PS the course came along with me. I wouldn't have had the space to do it if it hadn't been my full time job. For the past four months or so I've been spending 100% of my work time on it, and much of my spare time.

Part of what made it tough is that, while I've been comfortable with MySQL for a long time, _teaching_ it is a whole different thing. So I ended up having to study a _ton_. Lots and lots of videos trashed when I got to a point of explaining something and realized I didn't know it well enough to teach. Back to the docs to figure it out myself and then back to recording.

I could do it again in about 1/3rd the time, but of course I could! I've done all the hard parts now! The actual recording and editing was of course hard, but the up front work to make sure I wasn't making stuff up was probably the biggest slog of it all.
Robust institutions disagree on whether heat or cold is more significant:

> Extreme heat and extreme cold both kill hundreds of people each year in the U.S., but determining a death toll for each is a process subject to large errors. In fact, two major U.S. government agencies that track heat and cold deaths--NOAA and the CDC--differ sharply in their answer to the question of which is the bigger killer.

https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Which-Kills-More-People-Ex...

And while it may indeed be that cold is a more significant source of death, these numbers are hardly trivial:

2003 heatwave, Europe: 72,000
2022 heatwave, Europe: 20,000

and for the future:

> In the course of this century, the percentage of the European population dying from cold temperatures will steadily decrease, while the percentage of the population dying from heat will increase. The latter increase will start to exceed the reduction of cold-weather related mortality in the second half of this century, especially in the Mediterranean. As a result, mortality in Europe related to non-optimal temperatures will start to increase by the end of the century in a moderate scenario of climate change, and already by the middle of the century in the high-end scenario of climate change.

Derived from: Martínez-Solanas et al., 2021. Lancet Planetary Health 5: e446–54

There is no serious narrative that claims that climate change is the current cause of all problems. There is no serious narrative that can refute the obvious point that if climate chnage predictions play out, it will add greatly to all existing problems.
If everybody would do everything by the book we wouldn't have this discussion about drunken cyclist.
I hate to sound like a grumpy old man [especially because I'm not...] but I'm increasingly discouraged by both (1) the media's willingness to abandon any sense of ethics or integrity, and (2) the public's willingness to unquestioningly consume everything that such media produces.

We somehow crossed over an invisible line that separates "cheeky hyperbole" from "outright deceit and lies" and nobody noticed.
A fun suggestion for cookies is to add a shot of a good, but cheap bourbon to add extra vanilla taste (via oak wood's vanillin). The alcohol bakes out at a different rate than other liquid ingredients adding extra texture ("fluffiness") and leaves behind an earthy vanilla that most people can't seem to place until you tell them it was bourbon.

A company called Bourbon Barrel Foods also sometimes sells bourbon-barrel aged, lightly smoked sugars which are another fun way to do it (though volume for taste much more expensive than a cheap shot of bourbon).
If you are open to sharing, what is your business?

Otherwise, "it depends"... If you get a job, you can also be laid off.

But if you are able to get a job, while also keeping your business going, this seems to be the best way to financially insulate yourself - as long as you don't let your business actually stagnate too badly, which will only make the economic environment likely impact it more.
I had a hard time understanding this article with phrases like, "However, with great power comes ~~great responsibility~~ undecidable type systems, whose undefined behavior may involve summoning eldritch abominations from the Black Abyss of Rěgne Ūt." I was pleased so see that Bard accepts URLs, so I asked it to summarize it. Here's Bard's summary:

The author of the article, Erik McClure, rants about Terra, a metaprogramming language. He argues that Terra is not well-documented, that it does not work well on Windows, and that it is not as good as other metaprogramming languages.

He also claims that Terra is not a good choice for writing production code, as it is not as stable as other languages.

Overall, the author is not a fan of Terra. He believes that there are better options available for metaprogramming.
Agreed, it's what happened during each of the major changes to google images. Every image site got their traffic tanked, but you still want to be in there.
Not really. I got a M2 Mini Pro, just the base model. Using VSCode, XCode, iOS, Android Emulators, Affinity Suite, bunch of other stuff, some casual games too. Can't complain, everything is very smooth and fast all around. Best thing is fans are very quite and rarley even turn on at all.
Is there an equivalent of Godwin's law for "sinophobia"?
> They can use your work to develop new features and services, and they do not have to pay you for that at all, since it is not a sale of a license.

And in this case, to develop new features and services that specifically undercuts your existing business, viz. selling stock photos for money. Sucks to the artists, indeed.
My son made it all the way through one of the older games doing all the fighting with one Pokémon, developing others just to host skills like cut. I have been disappointed with recent fire Emblem titles because level trumps the weapons triangle.
The point is to advance knowledge of mathematics. Knowledge is a practical pursuit in and of itself.
That’s a weird question, I’m not sure what you mean by safe. The source [1] was the 3rd result on Google. You could build it yourself. The author puts their real name and face on the project.

It’s the other way around: tests and materials which we believed made humans distinctive from AI and our “models” of human measurement or standardized tests, seem to fail when examined seriously. They are purported somewhat to prevent computer cheating because we enforce conditions that allow us to claim the results are accurate.

Clearly that is not the case, and the tests or measurements themselves lack much or all value.

What most people believe makes someone’s opinion valuable (economic production, social wanking, allowing and enforcing inequality) is ironically what prevents most of these people from being in a room with actually intelligent people.

Take the case of Grigori Perelman: mathematical genius who created insights into fractal geometry and chaos mathematics who now contributes nothing but his personal disgust at the state of the world and how willing people are to cheat and steal.

Bill Gates has made a lot of money, but he has never made any deep insights or valuable contributions. He can make more money but history will bury the man because he is nothing more than someone who became an exalted dung beetle of wealth.
Mindless, brainless, and stacking that shit.

I find this article in the same vein: mostly some shitty business crap that will extol it’s fecal values to the investors and businessmen who are now immune to their own stink.
I really like the way you categorized different SWE levels. Thank you for the insights!
