Welcome to my world -- we're extremely similar =) I'm also always in a cheerful mood, expressive, and jolly.

While some people prefer to keep a separate personal and professional identity, I chose to do the opposite and refused to create separate personas. I'm 34 atm, and have been working in industry full-time since I was 20.

Here's a few observations from my own experiences here:

1. If you're willing to bring your personality to work with you, it'll help you make friends. Some of my best friends are people I've met through work while just "being myself".
2. It opens opportunities you may not be aware of. Years ago I ended up switching from being a founder/CTO-type to working in Developer Relations where I would spend ~50% of my time building software and ~50% of my time doing marketing-related work (writing articles, giving presentations, etc.). I fully attribute this shift to my personality, and it's been a great fit. I really enjoy the work I do and feel like I can be my authentic self at work.
3. I've also been in situations (similar to what you describe) where I don't fit in with the corporate culture. For example, I worked at Okta for ~4.5 years or so and didn't blend in with the corporate culture AT ALL. I still feel like I enjoyed myself and made a large impact, but I certainly wasn't expecting to become a VP there or anything like that.

My advice: just be yourself and optimize your work so it's something you can fully enjoy without putting on an act.

His argument is that the government can do 2 things:

1. Interest-free money for businesses to launch, grow, and advance. This leads to more goods in the market and thus lower prices

2. Free money straight to the people which means more money in the market and thus, inflation, empty shelves, etc.

His general point is that having interest-free money keeps existing players honest since newcomers can come in and start a competing business. Now that the money is drying up, existing players are increasing their moat.
No sure why you are being down voted but the global recession and inflation is the result of Vladimir Putin's choices and virtually no one else.
The "coffee cup girl" threw a cup of hot coffee at another student. It wasn't a small thing.
A lot of times, the villainy is really the collective self-interest of thousand of people in a supply chain or open market. No one is going to willingly pay more or sell for less than they can get at any step of the way.

I use housing as a good example since it's been a major driver of inflation and most houses are sold peer to peer on the open market. If you're selling your house and you see comparable houses selling for $900K, but you only need $750K to earn enough profit to buy your next house, what are you going to do? Sell for the lowest price you can afford? Or sell for the highest price you can get? You'd sell for the highest price. And that same calculation gets played out at every level of every transaction in every corner of the global marketplace. Yet nobody would think of themselves as being a villain for doing it. Or be accused of gouging.
I think large companies have a huge disadvantage in this area due to reputational risk that the startups don't have to really worry about to the same extent.
Apparently, Python split the difference and uses reference counting alongside garbage collection:

However:

> I'd say that Borrow Checker is still manual memory management, except the compiler writes the free() for you.

And:

> #4: purely declarative languages and such is going to be garbage collected in practice.

My point is to catalog the different ways programmers have to think about resource usage, not implementation details. Python is a GC'd language, and unlike C++ with smart pointers, because it doesn't make the programmer manually manage memory in order to avoid a leak, and regular expressions and SQL are high-level in that the languages don't even offer a way to express the concept of resource management.
That is how I read the comment but wasn't sure. I asked about the source of 3-D space I was aware of.
These arguments are no different than when governments try to have backdoors installed in technology. They say it's about protecting the kids to make the new laws hard to argue against without looking like a monster, but in reality the laws are tools for them to do more nefarious things. If a politician ever uses "protecting the children" as a justification, that should be a huge alarm bell in your head that means you should really consider what arguments you would have against their suggestion if kids weren't involved.

Nobody was ever trying to show 1st graders sexually explicit material in libraries. This is a tool to suppress ideas about things like LGBTQ.

There are arguments to be made that the south saw slavery becoming less fashionable in Great Britain and were into rebellion for that reason. They knew staying in Britain meant slavery going away eventually, and might have thought they could delay that better as an independent nation. Remember that the original system after independence was that state governors largely had their own little fiefdoms, and the federal government had very little power.
Fine, I'll bite.

I eat apples. Most varieties didn't exist 150 years ago. But apples did.

So did pineapple, and bananas, albeit different.

But that's not the point. The point is that realistically speaking 150 years ago people were eating apples, bananas, pineapples, potatoes.

Example of how simple things can be, and how other producers basically break down everything, and re-assemble only the bits they need for the sole purpose of maximizing profits:

Ingredients in a bread I bought:

Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Water, Sea Salt, Organic Barley Malt

Compare that to another bread:

Unbleached Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Sugar, Yeast, Contains 2% or Less of Each of the Following: Calcium Carbonate, Wheat Gluten, Soybean Oil, Salt, Dough Conditioners (Contains One or More of the Following: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate, Monoglycerides, Mono- and Diglycerides, Distilled Monoglycerides, Calcium Peroxide, Calcium Iodate, DATEM, Ethoxylated Mono- and Diglycerides, Enzymes, Ascorbic Acid), Vinegar, Monocalcium Phosphate, Citric Acid, Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), Soy Lecithin, Calcium Propionate (to Retard Spoilage).

> It doesn't really make sense though does it? Musk is rich because people buy his cars. If we're all impoverished ants, no one is going to be buying cars. Musk's money has to come from somewhere.

It does make sense, but you're not thinking about it clearly because you're too tied up in existing social structures. The end state "AI-fueled Elon Musks" (note that's a type, not a particular man) don't need common-man customers or their money, because they don't need to pay labor to operate their capital. They can directly operate their capital themselves, so they'll just do whatever the heck they want and nearly everyone who's now an employee becomes an ant.

At that point the main economy would mainly consist of billionaire ego projects and some trade between large corporations to support them. Common people would scrape by on billionaire largess and by squatting on resources not currently needed by billionaire ego projects and using it for small-scale subsistence production.
Have you tried it with the Wolfram plugin?
> I wonder if inequality increases caused by printing trillions of dollars during COVID are anything to do with this inflation? Could it be that making the rich endless more wealthy and increasing asset prices is bad for society?

Making billionaires more wealthy doesn't affect inflation much because they are already consuming as much as they want. That money will just increase the price of stocks and bonds - whatever billionaires invest in.

Giving every average Joe a thousand more dollars will increase spending by nearly that amount per person and prices of goods will increase.

Giving money to people who need money is part of the solution, but the biggest part of the solution is making sure human productivity (GDP) is going to make things that make people's lives better.
This is the third HN thread on this I’ve come across today. Someone else mentioned that a good deterrent for this form of abuse of power is to take away their pensions if they take part in this kind of fuckery.

On one hand, yes, in theory k8s is pretty extensible. In practice, though, you always end up being forced to do things you do not want or need to do, or being prevented from doing things you want to do, because of vendor specifics. Sometimes that is an acceptable tradeoff, sometimes not.

Plus, it is always good to take a step back and appreciate that monoculture is a bad thing in computing. We always need more different approaches, viewpoints, solutions to the same problems. Should everyone roll their own? Of course not - that's why I mentioned having sufficient manpower and expertise to do that.

We should be applauding having more choices and cheering, not scolding those who strive to provide them.

As for your last paragraph, I completely agree, we need to share the knowledge and cooperate. But expecting corporations to "potentiate & enrich" us is rather naive. They will play nice only as long as they need to, and the minute their financial incentives do not align with sharing, they will do their best to pull the rug from underneath everybody else. Even their sharing phase is only to build levers to use in the future. We've seen it over and over and over for the past several decades, with Oracle, SCO, Microsoft, Apple, Google, ... heck, I could pretty much list all big companies.
there are well establish web blocking & policing tools. most libraries use them.

and most of the people there to use the internet don't have access to the web on their own -- they're not going to be the most internet savvy users.

it's not impossible for Jim-Bob the toothless iterant to get to the Pronz on library computer -- i'm sure it happens, in much the same way i'm sure it happens on school computer lab systems -- but it is certainly the minority.

tbh i'd be more worried about doomscrollers and kids playing online games burning bandwidth and bogarting the systems
Would you rather eat a cake made during a competition? because it seems like a good way to be eating egg shells.

While there may be merit in trying to solve a challenge in the shortest amount of time. Personally I prefer the advent of code style, a different challenges each day with a fun story to make it an enjoyable experience. The competitive programming and leetcode bent is the fast food of our industry.

Margin will also help discount issues resulting from Covid; a company that lost money during Covid (think restaurant suppliers) would go to a profit when it was over, but are they making MORE margin (percentage) than they were before Covid?
Anywhere where you have payments related or any other PII data, then transitive dependencies, framework and language choices, memory sharing and other risks are taken into account as something that you as someone developing and operating a service is solely responsible for.
I've been playing with the combination of Chat GPT and Wolfram, and while there are gold nuggets in the output sometimes, it is mostly terrifying non-sense for anybody who couldn't already verify those outputs on their own. The cynic in me says that there will be Chat-GPT generation of kids that won't be able to think rationally on their own, the same way that kids and young people these days are completely unable to have a normal sleep schedule.
Isn't there something really perfect about people working on a language model either not trying or outright failing to use that language model to tell them if their project name already exists?

On their github they reference a related project called "HuggingFace" so you know the sky's the limit with the names in this field, could have been called anything else really.
Vite is just an opinionated replacement for webpack, one of the biggest parts of create-react-app (which is obvious if you eject). This article's writer believes the out-of-the-box config for Vite is close enough to pre-eject CRA webpack config to be a drop in replacement.

You could stick with webpack. Its defaults have gotten better, even if CRA never quite aligned with that shift. (It is still slow and prone to config-related crankiness, but you don't need two thirds of what CRA ejected.)

So far in my own development, I find I generally prefer to use esbuild directly rather than the added weight of Vite and sometimes Vite feels like Create-React-App in that way that it obscures the power of the underlying components, though unlike Create-React-App Vite doesn't offer any sort of "eject" option. Vite adds some nice things like HMR support, but also now that browsers support script type="module" you can get nice dev experiences from unbundled modules without HMR and tools like esbuild/webpack become more of a "final pass" for Production rather than an always present development need. (Which is how Vite powers things like HMR, too, but you can do it by hand so easily now, I haven't yet been convinced to use Vite in a project.)
Attack of the Friday Monsters has shown up in a lot of recent “cool stuff on the 3DS eShop that isn’t available anywhere else” retrospectives.

It’s worth noting though that it’s trivially easy to softmod a 3DS and install any game you like from archive.org, as well as a bunch of cool homebrew.

I’m torn, personally—I of course want to support the developer, but buying something in the knowledge that I’ll lose the ability to re-download it almost immediately feels like it’s just encouraging the apathy the commercial games industry has towards preservation.

Always worth remembering that, at least for property prices, "being down 10%" doesn't mean that 1y they were worth 100 and this year are worth 90, but that 2y ago they were worth 100, 1y ago they were worth 110, and this year they are worth 119. In other words we often talk about "the % year on year increase is down", not "the value of the house is down".
Lots of cloud instances support remote attestation these days which gives you a reasonable path to autoscaling secure enclaves.

1. You compile a deterministic unikernel appliance-style linux kernel with a bare bones init system

2. You deploy it to a system that supports remote attestation like a nitro enclave.

3. It boots and generates a random ephemeral key

4. m-of-n engineers compile the image themselves, get the same hash, and verify the remote attestation proof confirming the system is running the bit-for-bit trusted image

5. m-of-n engineers encrypt and submit shamirs secret shares of the really important private key that needs protecting

6. key is reconstituted in memory of enclave and can start taking requests

7. Traffic goes up and autoscaling is triggered

8. New system boots with an identical account, role, and boot image to the first manually provisioned enclave

9. First enclave (with hot key) remotely attests the new enclave and obtains its ephemeral key (with help of an internet connected coordinator)

10. First enclave encrypts hot key to new autoscaled enclave

11. rinse/repeat
As someone who's blind and wants a lot of CPU performance but doesn't care about the GPU I appreciate this. I'm torn between a desktop and a laptop when replacing my current 8 year old desktop. I'm hoping that I will be able to configure this laptop with something more powerful then the current Framework CPU's. Given the fact that I only travel two or three weeks a year it would be nice to have this act as a desktop but be able to take it with me if I wanted to.

just sayin': why did inflation appear when it did? why not sooner? why not later? Why is the impact of inflation non-uniform?

We know the model pretty well: "money printer goes brrr" leads to higher prices for good and services. But the data lately doesn't make a great supporting case.

> I look forward to open source ai economic simulation tools - when you change variables like m2, you'll see what happens to inflation - and there'll be no more ambiguity

Economists have been leading the way in multifactor causal inference, but GPT in particular is not well suited to it. And macroeconomics in particular is hard to measure via natural experiment, so you're left trying to estimate counterfactuals based on a paucity of data

TikTok can offer that feature because Congressional investments are public information.

I agree the code interpreter is probably the coolest one. But honestly the whole plugin system seems like an unnecessary crutch to me. Wolfram Alpha has a website. Instacart has a website. It should just use the website like a human would. Figure that out and you unlock the whole web, giving you way more capability than a hundred thousand plugins ever could. And it seems feasible to do within a year or two. That's what I'm hoping the browsing plugin will become. Or maybe adept.ai will be the first.

The plugin system may simply be a workaround for legal issues. Sites may prohibit bots in their ToS or robots.txt or whatever, but if they make a plugin then they're explicitly granting legal permission for OpenAI to use their stuff. But "legal permission grant" doesn't really make me excited about plugins.

I like the idea that AIs could use the same UIs humans do with the same capabilities, instead of some opaque APIs that humans can't use directly. If the AI plugin APIs have less capability than the human UIs then the AIs will be hamstrung. On the other hand if the AI plugin APIs have more capability than the human UIs then humans will be forced to go through the AIs to get stuff done. Like today when you have to call a company's phone support to fix a problem with your account that can't be fixed through their public website, and you have to walk some clueless support rep through the process of using their own internal tools to fix your problem. I don't like either of those futures.

This may actually be a competitive advantage for open source AI competitors vs. the big corporations. AIs from corporations have to abide by ToS and robots.txt or whatever and will be limited in capability as a result. An open source AI running on your own computer can bypass all that, pretending to be a real human and bypassing any legal or technical restrictions people try to apply to "bots". The Napster of AI.
Your first point is just reiterating my criticism
