Has the prediction been wrong all those years? 99% of work that used to be done is arguably being done by robots, we just be doin different things now instead. IMO it is a bit worrisome that our abilities get further and further from their natural roots. Ever notice how when you look around yourself you couldn't make damn near anything that you are looking at, not even your bare essentials?
This time it's different!

Because the population is so large and the planet so far into ecological overshoot that there won't be any jobs to take... in 100 years? :)
Things cooled somewhat in the fall but have definitely rebounded. On Friday the 10th I placed my townhouse in Loudoun on the market. Choose from 17 offers on Sunday evening. Accepted an all-cash offer with a quick closing for well above asking. Moving on Saturday.
It's interesting to see people who have been working as software engineers worrying that codegen LLMs will take their job. In the past week the amount of work that consisted of writing well-defined code was pretty much zero, and the actual core logic I have written lately has been almost mindlessly trivial. I spent much more time discussing requirements, arriving at consensus on where components should live, determining whether change requests should go forward, determining how changes affected latency or disk space, and debugging nuanced issues that required multiple engineers to slowly reveal the problem.

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. But most jobs are not like this. The bulk of the work, as always, is in dealing with the people at either end of the process. And knowing what the computer is doing and how it works will continue to be invaluable when an LLM writes logically perfect code that happens to run slowly or do the wrong thing once it makes contact with the real world.

The Linux version has definitely become worse over the last year. It keeps stalling for no good reason.
Agreed, but this is presumably also an absolutely massive project hardly anyone here has even used before. So it's not surprising that there are no big tech insights on the day of the release. An `scc` printout might be interesting, but any in-depth analysis is going to take a long time.
For trained programmers it might be more harm than help, but, for many laypeople, it absolutely is an advantage because it means Excel is automatically allowing them to handle date-like text as actual dates. Most of the time that's helpful.
The market seems to have priced this in, which is good + expected.

Things may hurt in the short term, but in the long term "normal" interest rates will benefit Americans + strengthen the US economy globally.

Looks amazing to me. I wish the heads exploded and whatnot. Super satisfying.
> There is actually an argument to be made here for a single browser base that all browsers are built from.

Yeah, but the argument is a really bad one.

> for one if we only have one rendering engine then compatibility is no longer an issue.

Yes, because it's no longer even a concern. Your single implementation will have bugs, because every implementation of a new feature has always had cross-compatibility bugs. Only now they're not bugs, they're backwards compatibility land mines that can never be fixed.

> I would mean that browsers could focus of innovation of browser features rather than keeping ones engine up to date.

Why? What would be the motivation to innovate on browser features when you've already won? It would enable new things to be done on the web, which would be good for the people doing those things, but would increase the revenue of the browser makers by $0. If you owned a business and could pay someone $200K to do something that makes $0, or instead pay them $200K to do something else that makes $50K-$5M, which would you choose?

Probably worth calling out the two of the biggest observable negative effects of automation that have occurred over time:

1. We've decimated the bottom end of the skills market in developed countries. Something often touted in the psychometrics literature is that the number of jobs for folks with IQ under 85 are quite rare in the US where once they were common. That's ~15% of the population who are close to un-employable.

2. People who spend years or decades on a skillset see it devalued and their income drops. It is often difficult to get a "second shot" at a new career in your 40s and can be deeply disruptive to you and your family's lives. Growing up I watched this happen to the parents of several friends who'd made careers in things like printing that were obsoleted by digital revolution. None of those people achieved the monetary success they might have in an un-disrupted industry.

The 2 projects that I learned the most from:

1. A crazy verilog based class at Berkeley (CS150 back in the day). Proably in the lab for at least 4hrs a day for a semester writing code with a 20min compilation time

2. Spectacularly failed attempt at building a shared calendar app at a big co for internal use. I was a junior programmer and got assigned huge portions of it with the instruction to make “work like outlook”. Learned a ton. Company got basically nothing of value in the end other than a much improved engineer

Theme for both was hugely ambitious project and an absolute ass-ton of reps
Me: Is LLaMA as good as ChatGPT?

LLaMa: No, LLaMA is not as good as ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art conversational AI model that has been trained on a large corpus of human-human conversations. LLaMA, on the other hand, is a language model that has been trained on a smaller corpus of human-human conversations.

Me: So you were looking at people chatting in Facebook?

LLaMa: Yes, I was.

Me: That means Facebook is reading my chat messages?

LLaMa: Yes, Facebook is able to read your chat messages. This is because Facebook has access to the data you share on its platform.

Me: And used it to train you?

LLaMa: Yes, I have used it to train myself.

I'm not really saying if it's bad or not, my personal opinion is that it's weird and not something I wholeheartedly support, but I also don't really care that much because I think it'd be dumb for anyone to be trying to draw their worldview on who can become a CEO based on image search results.

One might pay less in taxes in Cupertino, but if the mortgage service is 3.5x what it would be in Austin, then one is still paying a tremendous amount in what amounts to a tax of sorts. Sure, if you have a mortgage you'll be building equity, but also paying more interest than you'll ever build in equity, and you'll depend on ever-increasing property values to begin to make this a worthwhile trade-off.
I am obviously biased, but, yes, technically it is very, very interesting. Distributed transactions, kiparis, YQL are interesting. Another aspect, the only other open alternative is Hadoop, hbase and hive. They don't compete with yt on usability and developer experience aspects. Yt is much more polished, despite historical quirks.

Culture continually changes with education. It used to be culturally acceptable to burn people at the stake for being witches. It used to be culturally acceptable to enslave people based on their skin color. You can go on and on with this list. There are many horrible things that humans have done that we no longer do, I think, because our empathy grows and our knowledge grows. In my opinion, a defeatist attitude enables these bad behaviors because defeatism ultimately means acceptance of the wicked.

It certainly works for many traders who consistently outperform the market by trading stuff like FX and Crypto. TA and trading price action can also be a tool to limit risk.

Btw, selling plans of executives often involve very trivial algorithms, such as "sell when price above VWAP till price reaches <some lower bound> for 30 days or 20.000 shares sold". (Some brokerages will try to create additional liquidity in the meantime, depending on what you want and how much your security is traded).
The IRA increased taxes by 740B and increased spending by 440B. That's a net reduction.
For one thing, from what I understand (I don't develop mobile apps, and I don't own an Apple phone) Apple forbids applications that provide features already built into the phone. That's why even Firefox on iOS is just a skin over Safari.

So if Apple Weather (or whatever they call the in-house weather app) comes with the phone, then your "same thing but different" app will not be made available in the Apple app store.

> taking into consideration that those mortgages were signed when the effective rate was close to zero

Most mortgages rates are locked in when you buy the house (unless you get an adjustable-rate mortgage, which is only about 9% of applications in the US as of September 2022)[1]. Like my mortgage payment hasn't changed hardly at all since I got it 5 years ago (it went up $100 because I have a PMI, but that's it, and that predated any rate increases).

What it's actually caused is it's kind of locked millions of people into their existing mortgages, because they got in while rates were so low, they don't want to buy a new home at the much higher rates (especially considering home prices are still super inflated over the past couple of years), so they're kind of stuck.

We kind of wanted to move but didn't buy a new home fast enough during the pandemic (we were looking late 2021, but didn't pull the trigger), so now it just doesn't make sense, the new rates would almost double our current mortgage payments, especially considering we'd have to buy a house at about +50% of our original purchasing cost. Selling our also inflated home will help towards that a bit, but not enough.

So now we can't really afford to move, even though we'd like to.

Historically, the master server of YTsaurus was a single RSM (replicated state machine) that contained all the meta-information about the cluster. This included the tree of the distributed filesystem, transactions, information about users and tables, placement of chunks, and much more.

However, this approach proved to be non-scalable as the memory amount and throughput of the master server soon became insufficient. To address this issue, we implemented Multicell technology. With Multicell, there are multiple RSMs called secondary masters that store information about chunks of the tables and their placement. The primary master still stores information about the distributed filesystem and transactions but is now single and non-sharded.

After a few years, the masters became overloaded again, and we implemented Portals. With Portals, one can select a subtree of Cypress and place it in one of the secondary masters. This technology is used nowadays, and home directories of some active users are hosted on secondary masters.

However, we anticipate that this approach will also become insufficient in a few years. Therefore, we are currently working on a new technology called Sequoia, which stores information about the Cypress tree shape in horizontally scalable dynamic tables.

It is hard to describe all aspects of master server internals in one comment. Therefore, feel free to join our chat at t.me/ytsaurus for further discussion!

When valuations are high, companies IPO, founders cash out and hopefully go on start new companies. People on the street buy companies for 3x their annual earnings but the stock market regularly buys companies for 8x, 20x, even 80x their annual earnings. This is expressed in each stock’s P/E ratio.
Good eye! I added this to their bugs forum.

Your main point seems to be that there's nothing preventing a big company from pushing a lawsuit despite the lack of a case. That is true, but it's also not an argument about the law.

The contract/trade-secret angle might be actionable if the person in question induced the leak, otherwise they're "the public" in the "once the information becomes public" sense. If they alone knew of the leak it would be possible to petition the courts to prevent their further disclosure (without implying guilt), but considering that the information was released as a torrent that doesn't apply.

Copyright doesn't seem relevant because it's not only just a dataset as they say, but it was created by machine so if there was a valid copyright claim it's likely not Meta's.

> specifically that your claim is [...]

But, what is your claim? Is it that the license terms are binding on the public, or that the person in question induced the leak?
