I too would be interested in understanding this better.

Let's say we're building a medical segmentation model, which takes a patient image and outlines a tumour (or some other feature that's unique to them). I am not sure this matters here, but let's say the model is a basic 2D U-net. Image pixels in, binary pixel labels out (cancer/non-cancer).

At a high level, how would a differentially-private setup work for training such a model across multiple institutions without pooling their patient data?
Seems to me the easiest way to prevent a LOT of grief with USB-sticks is using a dedicated USB-ingest station. Have it run a virus scan as it copies things onto a known-good USB. That obviously wouldn't directly solve the exploding USB issue, but adding a power switch to the power rails should more or less solve that: There's only so much explosive you can fit in a USB stick so containment is very doable.

useMemo is really nice for sync effects but it breaks hot reload because hot reload does not call useMemo again. E.g. you can subscribe to something using useMemo (so that it is synchronous and you can use the current subscription value in the current render) and then unsubscribe using useEffect as a cleanup callback. When the component is hot reloaded, the useEffect cleanup callback will be called but the useMemo will not be called again if the dependencies do not change. You can use useSyncExternalStore for that but you need to make sure that your subscription value is immutable or hack around it with refs.
Sure, most of what we're doing have been doing has already been done before, but that doesn't mean general intelligence is deprecated. It's not like we just keep repeating actions over and over without thought. For each problem we have, we adapt them and make changes to fit our specific context and needs. As long as humans and nature are involved, there's no such thing as a generalized solution that can be mechanistically applied to a general problem. I speak in the context software development and other activities that are creative or requires human judgment.

But yeah, I somewhat agree with you that a lot of the grunt work are going to be affected, jobs that are by nature purely mechanical, algorithmic or just plain parroting facts. But even then, I still highly doubt language models (today or with the following years) would deprecate those jobs. In the end, it's still a language model that is incapable of thought or reasoning.

If there one's thing I'm optimistic about the recent advances in AI, it's that more jobs will now be creative in nature. Hopefully gone are the days where schools are just mere factories for producing factoid parrots, where intelligence is measured by the size of one's esophagus to regurgitate.

Yep. Quite rare to see this kind of accountability.
In my personal circles, there are interested people. In internet debates over this topic I have seen, there are very little of them. It is just stroking panic using girls as pawns. Just like think of trans children was just an pretention to get support for general attack on trans everything.

Like common. Past HN debates about this topic were full of condescension toward young girls, full of projection onto them and the most often repeated solution was "take away all tech from them with no debate, regardless of what they think and do zero additional effort to help them socialize". This is not about helping anyone. This is about getting laws you want and punishing them.

From ChatGPT when given the same prompt:

> Salvatore had always been a man of the streets, a tough and rugged figure that commanded respect in his neighborhood. But as he grew older, he began to realize that his days as a low-level enforcer for the local mob boss were numbered. He had seen too many of his friends and colleagues end up dead or in prison, and he knew that he couldn't keep up the lifestyle forever.

> Stephano, on the other hand, was a different breed of criminal. He was slick, intelligent, and had a knack for making deals that left everyone happy. He had risen up the ranks quickly, and was now a top lieutenant in the same organization that Salvatore worked for. Stephano was everything that Salvatore wasn't, and the two men couldn't have been more different.

The article talks about 100,000 metric tons of solar panel waste generated in Australia over some unspecified timeframe. (They mention 2035, so I assume they are talking about solar panels that will serve their useful life in the two decades before 2035?)

Meanwhile Australia generates a million tons of waste each year, from single use plastics alone. And also every year, 130,000 tons of plastic makes it to the ocean.

I agree with everything your saying I just disagree with the communication; well and I believe the line I quoted to be utter bollocks.

Dealt with projects that had evolved(devolved?) into hook monstrosities. 20-30 hooks in god components each with n-layers of "custom" hooks each permeated with useEffects and useStates chaining off each other causing a rats nest of render loops and maddening re-render puzzles.. It's awful.

I'm anti-hook in general and I use them very sparingly. But they, the effect hooks, are integral to React and need to be used to build the vast majority of anything interesting. People will need to use them or use something written by somebody else that used them. To me that's not an "escape hatch" but fundamental to the libraries usefulness.

In France you get 'top up' insurance called a mutuelle (the state pays the first 70% - 80% of most healthcare costs - chronic conditions are paied 100% by the state). A basic mutuelle is obligatory at all jobs, but many will provide a decent one (that includes glasses, advanced dental work, hearing aids etc) as a benefit.
Honest question, and I'm asking because I want to know your take, not because I'm trying to be a dick: why should an app developer have a sustainable income stream from a single app no matter what?

Isn't it possible that an app is simple enough that doesn't justify getting a full salary out of it?

Again, I'm not trying to be a dick here, I'm just trying to figure out what is the reasoning behind the subscription model.

I'm a freelance web developer. When I'm done with a project I have to move to something else. Is it unreasonable to expect app developers to do the same?

And I know, not all apps are created equal, some apps require constant work. I get that. For some apps is reasonable to expect a subscription. But for all apps? I'd say no.

And this developer, from what I can see, is doing the "right thing" by working on multiple products. Which is great.
What did you say?
> Idk what the lesson is here

I'd say the lesson is that we, as an industry, haven't figured out this "cloud" stuff yet.

And it looks to me that what we need, roughly, is some sort of "deployment polymorphism" that separates interface from implementation.
The problem is that AI research is moving incredibly fast. You might train a LLN today for $5M but a year from now the competition will have implemented an absolutely killer feature that needs $10M worth of training
This is very amusing to read!

This company invented Ruby on Rails and was in business before ‘cloud’ was a thing. Many things can be said about 37signals and DHH in particular, but lacking proper experience is definitely not one of those.
One way to look at it is if programming is largely automated, then this implies that any thing that is reducible to programming(as in could be modelled on a computer) is as well. This includes all engineering fields that I know of.

So if you want to stay in engineering there are not many options.
For example because you want better isolation guarantees than threads provide. Say you spawn workers running requests for different users with different permissions.

My sign up form for https://cubetrek.com was recently abused in the way described (and solved) in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34865695

The way it goes is that an attacker got hold of e.g. an Amazon account and starts ordering stuff to his address. In order to prevent the victim from becoming suspicious, the attacker buries the Amazon emails in an avalanche of spam emails. So a bot was submitting the victims email address to my sign up form, my app sends out a verification email to the victim and being part of the distraction.

I solved the problem by adding a Captcha (https://www.cloudflare.com/products/turnstile/) to the form.
Because it flies directly in the face of the "cloud everything" or "kubernetes cultism" that seem prevalent. It's a change, basically.
I'll bite on this stupidity.

Fraud mitigation is not quite the same as "oversight and control".

"Gun control doesn't work" as a blanket statement is ridiculous. It hasn't been meaningfully tried in the USA, but it works just fine almost everywhere else. When the US did have any limited gun control at all e.g. (Federal Assault Weapons Ban) it did have limited positive results.

Finally, guns are a distraction, your argument is of the form "rat control doesn't work, why would tiger control?" Well, because, uh, rats and tigers differ quite lot? But not nearly as much as guns and AI do.

It's the opposite of a race to the bottom. Currently the market is asymetric, the employers hold the cards as they know the going rate, employees do not. And they can artificially push down prices over the longer term.
Disclosure is also a benefit for start ups and small businesses s they can actually see the cost and plan accordingly (more certainty, potentially allowing more business), they don't have the resources to interview all day or hire big HR firms who know market rates.

That's pretty recent for being "now-defunct". What happened?
I am guessing that a lot of people who entered the industry since big cloud was a thing never learnt the basics of how to deploy on servers, so these 2000 lines of code are absolutely magic to them.

Personally I use a ~200 line shell script + docker to deploy self hosted apps on a cheap office computer that lives under my desk.
That doesnt satisfy #3. People buy gold expecting profit through no work of their own as well. Gold is a commodity. The key there is the efforts of others, someone has to do something for you to be profitable. Just speculating on something doesn't qualify.

Some tokens qualify as common enterprise and some don't. And lots and lots of tokens are sold on the expectation of profit, almost all of them.
I think NFTs are foul. But are you implying that awful collector’s items (no matter how speculative and distasteful) should be regulated as securities? What is the principle there that separates them from physical artworks?

Yeah managed Apple IDs don't work for most enterprises as they require the email and UPN to be the same. In our configuration this is different for a very good reason. We're not going to change 200.000 users just because Apple doesn't support something.

Also manually resolving duplicate accounts at this scale is impossible.

Managed Apple IDs were a nice idea but the implementation sucks. I was hoping they'd fix them after release but it's been like 4 years now and it hasn't happened.
The only reason someone would have issue with this law, is that they are averse to change.
> They let you “step outside” of React and synchronize your components with some external system like a non-React widget, network, or the browser DOM.

This doc is generally on point and a very important lesson to drill into the heads of people new to react, however that particular phrase is completely misleading. React is absolutely pushing you to use lifecycle effects where necessary. Calling that "stepping outside" is just dishonest.

React is not a "pure view library" that you have to integrate with state management. It makes you handle the extremely impure chain of (route change, component "mounting", data fetching...), all in the rendering code.
Signup which looks like successful but blackholed is user hostile. Majority of web form spammer don’t even try to evade filtering - why bother when there are many web forms without validation. All signup spam I’ve ever seen in email was sent via forms which allows to enter longish text in the name field with ether url or email address or phone number. Reasonable validation of user entered fields used in signup emails should stop 99% of such spam.
Thanks for the link, this is very cool!

Weird (to me) that five out of six images show the 3D case, which is way harder to understand than a tile on a 2D plane, at least in my view.

It's also weird, for someone not at all familiar with the problem, that the concept of a "tile" includes non-connected shapes, i.e. there are outliers that are considered part of the tile but not connected to the main body. Apologies for absolutely no clue about terminology here.
They probably added "open source" to indicate that they are not at fault, which is understandable. However, they could have stated "bug in a third-party library" instead. By emphasizing that it was Open Source at fault, they perpetuate the "You get what you pay for" anti-open source rhetoric that was prevalent a some years ago.
you misspelled "less". This works only with their SDK (and non public build of dosbox), latency is bad due to USB so things that read a lot over ISA are out of the question (think playing doom on ISA vga)

In the Netherlands private health insurance is obligatory but not tied to an employer, however employers can negotiate better group policy deals or compensate somehow. My last employer for example paid a bit extra for me to chose my own (was a salary line item) and my current actually pays for one directly. The basic insurance is all the same regardless of provider, but they vary on secondary benefits.

For me at least, this wouldn’t really be a deciding factor among competing job offers.
become more creative with a fraction of the data consumed by GPT-4

not if you understand the input stream of vision as an equivalent input stream of semantic tokens as in multimodal models. under that definition people looking around for 10 years receive much more training data than large language models and thus perform a bit better at zero shot inference.

> The "cryptocurrency" concept seems to be based on a mistrust of government-issued currency and a mistrust of government more generally.

This is the classic notion of cryptocurrency, but the field has grown and changed a lot. People don't mint NFT collections and dabble in metaverse tokens as a middle-finger to the state. The VC-funded cryptocurrencies of the last cycle are obviously centralized and are far removed from any cypherpunk notion.

While alive, the SVB deliberately avoided designation as "systemically important", in order to avoid the corresponding regulatory burden. Then as soon as it failed, its depositors got beneficial treatment under a "systemic risk exception". I'm not saying that was necessarily the wrong choice; but do you really think that's a coherent rules-based system?

> These are not risky investments, just illiquid.

It's not a question of liquidity. Similar assets trade with tight spreads, at prices very closely predicted by a textbook NPV model. The price just went down when interest rates went up, exactly as expected. There's no significant uncertainty in the price. Waiting won't make it go up, except in the same sense that waiting turns $100 in Treasury bills into $104 a year from now.

The Fed is making an undercollateralized loan. If a bank fails with such a loan outstanding, then the Fed will lose money. Interest rate risk is as real as credit risk or any other risk, and this would be a real economic loss.
