> Making code review optional is a good way to get it waved through with little oversight.

Me: "Code review is fine and necessary."

How did you turn "necessary" into "optional"?

This seems to be just more evidence that for some reason, some people can't seem to imagine code review without pull requests. Maybe you have to be older, and worked before git and GitHub existed? I don't know.

Let me spell it out more clearly: a pull request is when the reviewer can reject your commit and force you to meet the reviewer's demands. Whereas you can have mandatory code review without pull requests, where the mandate is just that someone has to examine your commit and comment on it.

Have you... heard of large corporations? ;-)
Meanwhile, for the use case I recently posted about, no amount of searching answers my inquiry, and ChatGPT can give me a good answer in seconds.
United States vs. Miller
Serious question, now that everything has died down: were you hired? You clearly created an account with the intention to spread discord on a certain subject. You did so about 3 days before the drop, indicating insider knowledge. Nonetheless, your claims of influence are silly and unbelievable. Who are you really?
This is actually not that bad.
I find rolling my own serialization protocol easy enough, and I want some friction from using it: i've been burned when it is too easy and people start to use IPC where a function call would just as well and be more efficient. Premature pessimization is a large problem these days.

The exact same thing happened/is happening at Carnegie Mellon. To the school, the undergraduates are nothing but PR and legal liabilities, therefore any fun or social life must be eradicated.
Apple M series chips are already some of the best chips for running your own models locally, especially if you want a laptop or small form factor machine instead of a big gaming desktop with a big GPU.

Apple is really getting a niche here for machines to run models locally. That’s pretty powerful.
Any chance you’ll offer a hiDPI (>3.5K) screen on the 13 inch models? That’s the last thing I need in order to buy one of these!
Not "no" market, but it's a very very small market. A fraction of a percent of the public. And it's shrinking, as people switch away from veganism because of health problems. All three of my friends who were vegans 10 years back eat eggs and cheese again now.
apple fitness I imagine has a pretty small opex (sure they pay trainers, but that doesn't scale linearly with subscriptions. the videos themselves are limited in scope and could be cached pretty trivially. the actual fitness tracking happens on device), same with apple arcade which I highly doubt has any additional expensive over the app store in general.

I can see it - "Siri+", pay $5 a month for fine tuned model upgrades straight to your device and remote fallback. local inference available for Pro devices only.
Are you able to disclose the price Duolingo paid for a 4k MRR bootstrapped app?

Sounds like the author just can't tell anyone anything :)
I think you bring up a great point! But while true, nothing really prevents one from adding their own router that handles for them that's decoupled from Next.JS and it would largely function as a traditional SPA (in that the export/'SSG' only builds one page, a la a true SPA).

And that IMO is kind of where the problem is - what level of abstraction should be added? Lots of beginners had problems because they were bombarded with the many confusing things to install to make something, and more often than not routing was one of them. It's just that Next.JS' is opinionated, but I'd argue so is everything else.
They’ve clearly ratcheted up the enforcement, EANABs did not used to be mandated (except maybe having water available?), and underage drinking was only a problem for the person doing it if they got caught outside with an open container or biking while drunk.

While I was there there was an “open door” drinking policy for freshmen. Meaning RAs would not stop you from drinking anything you chose but wanted the doors open so they could intervene quickly if someone got alcohol poisoning. It’s my understanding that hard alcohol is now banned so people just close the door.

Specific policies aside it’s clear from their actions that the university wants to purge student control from housing or social organizations. They unceremoniously eliminated the European theme houses, ended student control of band, have been picking the frats off one by one. The coops are probably next on the chopping block.
> it will be convenience rather than privacy which is the deciding factor

This. Nobody really cares about local processing for privacy.

Even those that claim to often don't mean it. Remember the total freakout over Apple's proposed local, privacy-preserving processing to detect CSAM before uploading it to iCloud? The consensus seemed to be that secret, opaque, and un-auditable cloud-based scanning was much preferable.
Hmmm... I'm actually not sure if I can talk about the numbers from the original sale in 2017. But I'll say that the original sale was paid partly in stock options which vested over a few years and ended up being worth a lot. And the price of the buy back was much much less than that.

Funnily enough, in the original sale I negotiated for more cash and fewer options. Luckily for me they only moved a little bit in my direction since the options ended up being worth much more.
That one is drastically different in that you could politically cycle that out. It wasn't self-replicating, with the only contribution needed for perpetuation being humans that breathe to exist.

Leaded gas required it to be economically feasible to continue producing/consuming leaded gas. Leaded gas required a human being to make it in the first place, and keep it being made.

COVID gives not 2 shakes about profittability. Think of it like measles, but without the antigenic stability to keep vaccines effective in the long term. It's here,and it's here to stay. It ain't just humans that host the thing either.

So what are you going to do? Drive all the reservoir species to extinction? Convince everyone to be okay with locking up non-compliant persons with the public health system? Implement it? Then what? I'm sure such an authoritarian cudgel won't be abused ever and will be dismantled as soon as COVID hits smallpox/polio status and stays that way, right? With full dismantling, and invalidation of precedent, reversal of enforcement budgets and teardown of infrastructure without repurposing... Right?

If you think I'm just being a codger who doesn't think COVID is more than a flu, you're dead wrong. It is much, much more, and far worse by leagues. Whatever we do to try to "eradicate" it, however, has the potential to completely dismantle the fundamental principles on which a classically liberal government operates.

"Public health" is one of about four things in which the best of intentions is basically guaranteed to turn into the highway to hell. Nat Sec, and the Economy, being two more, and with "For the Children" being the last.

We're going to have to work through it, and achieve an equilibrium. Anyone who thinks you can or should get an entire population playing to such an extreme singular tune, has a few screws loose.

But cheer up. Since I wrote this post, by Murphy's Law, it's basically guaranteed you'll get your wish anyway. God have mercy on us all though. Because Murphy seldom has things play out in a way anybody likes.

Alien tech, of course.
3D printing also takes a lot of time.

I'm not sure but I would bet it takes less time to build a rocket with traditional means than through 3d printing.

There are other advantages (leverage with investors not the least of them, imo) to the 3D printing angle but simplicity of development and speed of production are not them.
I double checked my email and confirmed I'm not hallucinating! I can upload screenshots later if you want. It seems they email me a few days before a trial ends (the longer the trial, the more advanced notice they give)
> Sometimes those managers have incentive to hide problems to protect their bonus.

I guess one important thing to look out for to judge this as either a PR stunt, or an actual well meaning practice - will be toi see if store managers get any advance notice that the CEO is gonna be working there.

If an ambitious career oriented manager knows the boss is gonna see everything that hopes on tomorrow, you can bet there's be extra staff rostered on the day before to make sure everything is better-that-normally prepped for the next day, that all the most compliant staff and the staff who are most beholden to the manager will be rostered on and they'll all be coached about what to say and threatened if they say the wrong thing, and probably a whole bunch of friends of the manager will show up as stooges on the day cosplaying happy and satisfied "ordinary customers".
What do you need for keeping CSS scoped to React components?
OpenAI IS big tech at this point given the massive financial and infrastructure investment from Microsoft. I think we're well past the small underdog narrative.
My observation is that code reviews are one of the worse solutions to the problem. They are almost never done right. People tend to treat them as nuisance and not focus or focus on the wrong things. Or people try to be nice to other people and "not make problems". They are constant source of problems because they tend to crash into deadlines and usually lose. It is also frequently the first time somebody finds out somebody else spend a week writing a feature producing completely unusable mess which could have been avoided if there was human contact during development. Also reviewing large body of work after it has been "completed" is simply the worst time to have open and critical discussion about quality.

My tested and recommended process is working in pairs, rotating pairs regularly and sharing/rotating all tasks within pairs, equally. You have two people actively working together on each piece of code. They are supposed to both understand what is happening, care for quality and be vigilant to catch defects. This is also the right time to have actual input regarding quality or design improvements. And the code once it is done can immediately be committed and shipped so there is no awkward delay between code finished and deployment.

I also learned over the years pair programming is also a fantastic way to achieve some other goals like people socialising, getting to know each other professionally, learning from each other, newcomers getting bootstrapped, etc.
I honestly appreciate your recommendation, it encouraged me to look past a clickbait title. It was a poor example but dang charitably understood me and I don't regret asking.

I don't think it's necessary to be this combative, and I think it's responses like these that encourage people to never admit any wrong on the internet. HN typically _tries_ to be above this.

I didn't try to suppress any articles, but I do encourage you to suppress your anger, because, it's probably not worth it :)
Let me do the same - The user went through multiple screens that told them exactly what would happen and when. That isn’t misleading so it cannot by definition be duplicitous. Do I think there is room for a more user centric design? Yes. Do I stay away from subscription based iOS apps? Yes. Do other people use them and enjoy them? also yes.
Infrastructure engineering as a foundation, since all this stuff ultimately needs some hardware, that has to be provisioned. Not to speak of plumbing/wiring stuff together and things like security/compliance…

DevOps/Automation to get people (no matter if current devs or soon prompters) actually deliver things and/or speed up delivery/feedback loops.

I picked up both after having mastered frontend/backend stuff and getting bored… hope it holds in the coming future!
An interface based on voice only has an issue: people tend to not live alone. As children they live with their parents. As adult, many want to live with a significant other.

Having somebody else in the house speaking out loud each time they want infos from the internet could become annoying.

Apart from having a mind reading device, I don't see so far a solution to this problem better than text input with a physical keyboard or a virtual keyboard on the device.
I think he was saying that the banning of parties with alcohol for a frat house accused of serving alcohol to minors is a mild punishment and not a notable event. I don't think he was saying that frat parties serving alcohol to minors is a non-issue. It's a pretty serious crime when you're not on a campus.
And keywords or search terms you can supply as a way into learning more, would be much appreciated.
Show HN: Easy Manual auditing of Python (Poetry) package updates
Hello all,

Very excited to share a tool I've been working on and explore it's feasibility with the community.

Customs Inspector hooks into Poetry's package management system to allow for manual auditing of package changes during updates.
It opens a browser with a diff view of the changes for you to manually audit.

The idea is to harness the community's collective effort to find malicious packages.

No one likes manual auditing, but perhaps, this makes it less so?

Looking forward to your thoughts
Isn't GPT so complex that it requires hundreds of GB of ram to be used? How's it going to run on iphone?

Better not be during the rush. Someone who works half a day once a month is going to be worthless in a rush, and it isn't worth the trouble to train them because they aren't coming back soon enough to remember any skills.

During the less busy times, he might learn something, though. Especially if he talks with his partners. They still call the workers at Starbucks "partners," right?
>I find it fascinating that this was released after the June 2022 launch of the M2 chipset and line of products

And this was put out in Aug 2022. It's very propable that the team worked on it and tested it just on M1, and M2 was kept under wraps in different teams working on it until the announcement. So they just wrote the annoucement on the CPUs they worked on - and since it's not for a commercial product, Apple didn't care to optimize marketing anyway.
> 5 years ago llms didn't even exist

Almost 5 years ago TalkToTransformer did 80% of ChatGPT's job with 0% of the hype. Once people realize just how glacial all this stuff moves, I think the honeymoon phase will be over.
Apple will never have their tech run locally for AI anymore than they allow Siri to search the internet offline or while driving
Microsoft is the one packaging and selling it all as a polished product now.

It's just that things move so fast that all the fun is on the bleeding edge, so that's where people go if they have access, bugs and warts and all.
Yes. It's really important that teenagers get to learn everything they can about the world. And sex is a huge part of it. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be guided or counseled about it, but they should be free to experience it within boundaries. Healthy humans will arise from that.
FWIW I think it's a numbers game.

Like my sibling poster mentions: of course there are people, who, given the freedom and opportunity to, will thrive, be creative and furthering humankind. They're the ones that "would keep working even if there's no need for it" so to speak. We see it all the time even now. Idealists if you will that today will work under conditions they shouldn't have to endure, simply in order to be able to work on what they love.

I don't think you can educate that into someone. You need to keep people busy. I think the romans knew this well: "Panem et circenses" - bread and circuses. You gotta keep the people fed and entertained and I don't think that would go away if you no longer needed it to distract them from your hidden political agenda.

I bet a large number of people will simply doom scroll Tik Tok, watch TV, have a BBQ party w/ beer, liquor and various types of smoking products etc. every single day of the week ;) And idleness breeds problems. While stress from the situation is probably a factor as well, just take the increase in alcohol consumption during the pandemic as an example. And if you ask me, someone that works the entire day, sits down to have a beer or two with his friends after work on Friday to wind down in most cases won't become an issue.

Small world indeed. So you're one of the people that prevent me from taking that name sometimes. Order another beer at that bar you're at and have an extra drink to that for me! :)
Federated Id Primitives Impacted by Upcoming Browser Changes, by Use Case
> "Think about it: how can a small number of specialized experts, who hand write and tune assembly code, possibly scale their work to all the different configurations while also incorporating their work into all the AI frameworks?! It’s simply an impossible task."

By committing it to a common library that a lot of people use? There are already multiple libraries with optimized matrix multiplication.

This is also exaggerating the expertise required. I'm not going to claim it's trivial, but you can genuinely google "intel avx-512 matrix multiplication", and find both papers and Intel samples.
This reminds me an edition of Byte Magazine from 1990 [1] with interviews of all big shots in the industry making forecasts for the next decade.

No one foresaw the internet.

At best they did expect things like "we'll have networks with bigger bandwith".

But no one saw the economic and cultural boom ahead.

yes, there are billions of parameters necessary. but large language models only came out about 5 years ago. I'm confident 5 years from now the parameters necessary to get gpt-4 performance will be decreased orders of magnitude.

at the very least, even if that's not the case, inference will be drastically less gpu heavy by then I suspect.
You're straight up being disingenuous by implying that people against Stanford's safety culture are pro-sexual assualt, pro-car accident, etc. Like honestly, do you think people against these policies are legitimately evil or something?

Synthetic wombs are more expensive than just having surrogate mothers. For the same reason that synthetic food is more expensive than bread and cabbage.

The actual counter to fertility decline, may be AI teachers. AI will radically close the education gap between rich and poor, and lower the costs. All you need is a physical human to supervise the kid, the AI will do the rest, from entertainment, to education, to identifying when the child is hungry/sleepy/potty, and relaying that info for the human to act on.

Now realize that this applies to everything, not just computers. Unless you've walked a mile in their shoes, you don't really understand the struggles of LGBTQ folks, the homeless, CEOs, assembly line workers... They will try to tell you, but you can't tell people anything, unless you're telling someone with good imagination and empathy.
You don't need a subscription to track and view your data (I've got an apple watch and no subscription). I think all the subscription gets you are the training courses (videos, but also live events and stuff)
Great point about failure to unify (or intentionally preventing it).

The space is in a land-grab phase, where everyone wants to position themselves as the next Google, and control the channel.

Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Sorry to hear that.

I imagine it would have been a lot harder in my case if we'd actually integrated Readlang with Duolingo, sharing user accounts and that kind of thing. Luckily it was quite separate. I was a little stressed dealing with accountants and tax stuff here in Spain, and worrying that the technical transfer would go smoothly. But dealing with Duolingo was super easy.
