Ahh yes, the "significant amount of time doing unpaid labor" of sending my resume via email, which took me all of 5 minutes.
The importance of US cultural power cannot be overstated.
I don't think you have enough information to say this?

Certainly that Americans die young, but that could be because American healthcare does worse for people between 5 and 40.

Eg. You'd prefer to be in a car crash in Canada, because it's more likely that the healthcare will take better care of you
classic HN
I loved this book, but I only recommend it if you’re reading on a Kindle or similar. There was so much jargon and technical words that I had to look up the definitions of.
My own version of that goes like this: the difference between being able to code and being a programmer is like the difference between being able to write and being a writer. One is a fairly simple skill you can teach to a child, the other is an art and a craft that can take a lifetime to master. Just because you can write doesn't make you a writer, and just because you can code doesn't make you a programmer. Inspired by a certain team member who believed that writing some code, that sometimes even worked, makes him as much a programmer as anyone else in the company and used to bristle and get defensive whenever someone tried to discuss finer points with him. "It finishes executing eventually, doesn't it? Just wait and stop wasting my time", while ignoring the fact that our administrators wanted to lock our team out because his script was putting so much load on the database.

I don't think it harms them financially though. You still have to buy the macbook and I don't think they earn any significant amount of money from you running macOS on it after that, I've bought like one $6 app on the mac app store. Being able to run linux makes me more likely to buy more macbooks in the future and if I can run windows games I'll get the highest-specced one available.
I keep giving this advice on how to significantly increase your chances of getting to the interview stage.

Most candidates really only submit a resume. The chances of getting to the interview stage with this approach are almost zero.

Because everyone does this, you can easily stand out. Simply answer the following 2 questions briefly in plain English.

1. Why do you want to take this role?

2. Why are you a good fit for this role?

Example:

1. I've read through your website and documentation and are truly inspired by your vision. Especially that you're working and X thing really got my attention as I know that Y and Z are super important for the customer segment you're working on.

2. I have previous experience in this field and wrote an open source library to solve some of the issues you might be facing (link).

Simply out, show interest and explain why you're a good fit.

I've had too many candidates who never checked out our landing page (https://wundergraph.com). We're doing a lot of innovative stuff in the API segment. If you apply for a job with us and you don't have an opinion whether you like what we do or not, it's really hard to gauge interest.

The question I'm asking myself is. Why should I read your CV when you didn't bother skimming through my landing page, docs, or open source repository. What's the purpose of sending a CV when I have to do all the hard work?
Your drug and gun deaths are totals right? That makes the US look worse than it really is due to the large population difference. If that’s the case then you can divide the US number by about 5 to make it actually comparable (and still terrible).
Auto-tagging is not a business they want to be in, because they will invariably get it wrong sometimes and people will start drama over it. And they'd be right to: human communication is nuanced and you can't just "guess" what someone means within 280 characters.

People already use hashtags, what would happen if you could subscribe to them? It would create a whole new way of interacting with the platform, something closer to Reddit where people post to streams. But the fact that these streams can't be moderated (or even downvoted) might be a nonstarter.
Too good man too good.

If you were doing it in good faith, you wouldn't need to publish the actual code. Most likely you should publish an article and a flowchart explaining how the algorithm works.

If you hire one out of 50 applicants, there is an implication that you're at least trying to hire the best 2%, and that there is an employer's market.

That's of course incorrect if every applicant on average makes 100 job applications. That means you're lucky if you get one of those 50 before some other company makes them a better offer, which is why you have to keep a couple of choices open until the papers are signed.

That means there are two open jobs for every applicant (with some fair assumptions).

I don't think relativity had the same hype associated with it.

I'm finding it very difficult to differentiate between (sometimes involuntary) sales people and genuine usefulness (of which there is plenty to be clear).

It is yet unclear where the conceptual and fundamental limitations of the current approach lie and I'm immediately suspicious about anyone telling me there aren't any in particular when this sentiment is based on a few hours of GPT-4 usage.

We need more hard science on this. Great claims require great proofs and "AGI is imminent" is a very very very great claim.

We know that these tool are pretty useful as they are right now and will have massive influence on society.
I don't see why it would need to be part of the actual OS.

More likely we'll get an AI shell, like a Google Assistant trying to do what BASH does, which would be awesome.

If I were to do one, which I've thought about, it would be based on traditional NLP and only ever use AI for specific "skills".

It would be stack based rather than pipeline based, matching how voice computing works in the movies. You'd say "Go to this folder", "find all image files containing a duck", "Zip those files", "send the zip to Fred", "confirm Fred Miller", etc.
> Clearview AI is providing a service in good faith like all these other things. It's up to the police and courts to use that information correctly.

Clearly the AI is more intelligent than the police officers using it and this needs to be addressed in a transparent way to allow for mistakes to be discovered faster. Transparency was absolutely lacking in this case. Heck, everyone, from Clearview staff to the judge and officers involved in the arrest and the victim should have been told "this AI had a 99% match, do you want to challenge it?".
If the number of users affected is as 'vanishingly small' as a Google spokesman indicated then you'd think they'd be able to contact them - at least the paying customers?
The "main proprietary blob" they're talking about is the userspace portion of the driver; the portion which does all of the heavy lifting. That definitely runs on your CPU.

You HAVE to be pretty stupid to fall for the really blatant propaganda the GOP uses. Remember that scary migrant convoy they invented just before an election to use to scare people into voting GOP and then it just vanished right after? Have you heard the incredibly stupid things Tucker Carlson, MGT, Matt Gaetz, and Boebert say? People like Carlson are way too smart to actually believe the crap they spew, they knowingly spend their lives telling lies to gullible and/or stupid people to manipulate them.

Letter signed by Elon Musk demanding AI research pause sparks controversy
i took a quick look at "Order Without Design" and am not digging what I've read so far.

to decide whether something might be worth a read, i usually try to get a quick feel for it from the title, subtitle, author, author's affiliations, the book's recommendations, etc.

in this case, it _seems_ like what I'm going to find as I cruise thru a couple articles and youtubes and possibly even the book itself as some point (tho, likely not), is just another bad justification for allowing markets (i.e. capital / investors / rich people / the right people) to shape cities -- or shape them more than they're typically allowed to.

The full book title is:

Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities

https://www.amazon.com/Order-without-Design-Markets-Cities/d...

if a book about... well, anything... mentions markets, it's probably going to be pro-markets -- that is, 'poor people must obey the markets', not 'markets are created by humans to _serve_ humans'.

couple of the recommendations come from City Journal (hard core conservative city planning, or non-planning), and Richard Florida (hard core liberal/monied city planning).

but, will check it out some more -- maybe i'll be surprised.
This attitude is well suited to an employers market in which you need to profess your love for the job and company as part of your job application. A pity the market has turned back this direction. It’s usually accompanied by an employer “looking for someone who loves the opportunity enough to go through our 12 week, 9 interview, 1 whiteboard, 2 coding test process which usually ends in veto and ghosting”.

Like telling a girl/guy you love them before first date.
HDDs and SSDs operate on fundamentally different technologies, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they desire vastly different environments to reside in.
I do wonder if the AI did stop after a 99,9% match or tried the whole database and there were actually a dozen 99,9n% and 99,8% matches. That meta information should be also shown to the officers requesting a search.
Virgin Orbit actually had four successful launches and two failures (their first and apparently last launches). What’s sad about them collapsing right now is they were the only launch partner for the UK’s only spaceport, and if we were generous enough to chalk up the last failure as bad luck, it’s a shame if the whole ecosystem suffers, perhaps irreparably, because of it.
Trump Prepares to Surrender in New York as Police Brace for Protests
To be fair to your concerns, how do we deal with the problem of propaganda in AI? How do you correct for institutional bias in de-biasing results? How do you guard against censorship that can itself push minorities out of being able to use those models? Well, you correct for that by having diverse models trained by diverse people that aren't localized to a singular company or insulated within a single industry.

Which is... also kind of a big thing that Mozilla is arguing about here. User agency over models and training, privacy and local models, having a diverse set of companies and organizations building models rather than a single monopoly that controls access and training data, transparency and inspectability of AI that allows us to examine why it's producing certain output -- those are the actual ways to protect against de-biasing efforts turning into propaganda, and Mozilla's points above are decent ways to get closer to that goal.

Those are the important steps you should be focusing on rather than policing companies for acknowledging and trying to reduce harm against minorities.
3) We probably don't know WHAT it's train of thought is -- what it's thinking -- so at that point have lost control of it. We will have no idea what it will so next, and be unprepared to counter anything it does. We literally then become another "AI" (the human race) against it.
Not much different from Proton, they're both based on Wine. They're probably the most similar stack layer. Everything else (x86 emulator, graphics driver, OS) is completely different.
It was probably serious. A lot of people don't have any kids. And if everyone tries to have 3 kids then the future will involve a lot of death.

Of course it isn't as simple as just not having kids.
If workism is indeed a replacement for organized religion, this looks like a massive win-win to me.

I don’t know how many people died in the epic IBM vs Microsoft wars of the 90s, but I suspect the total was a fraction of the number of people who died in a single day fighting the crusades.

And last I checked, no one from Google’s Android department has ever flown a plane into 1 infinite loop.

I did find the article more enlightening than the source code. I always suspected the quality of a tweet did not factor in to its promotion, only its engagement, and now they have confirmed this to be the case. Now I understand better why twitter seems to be filled with people angrily retweeting what I consider to be low quality clickbait tweets.

As long as they don’t try to tackle tweet quality at all separately from engagement twitter will remain unappealing to me.

IMO this is another anecdotal proof that so called software “engineering” isn’t, and how uncontrolled over-complexity of modern software is going further out of control.

I spent 5 years in nuclear power before going into tech and I have sort of joked that the software engineering the goes into AI, IoT, Phones, Cars, etc, is the next Chernobyl waiting to happen. It's all fun and games till these things get connected directly to lives. I actually find the governance of nuclear power a decent model for managing the risk. You mentioned management needs to be held responsible but management will choose short term profit every day until dealing with negative externalities is forced upon them like it is in nuclear.

Imagine if the toxic waste that is the mental impact of social media, or forever insecure devices littering the Internet, or any number of things was obligated to the companies to do their best to fix it. Nuclear reactors put huge money away so that when they are done they are bulldozed back into a green field (Other than what was supposed to be a solved problem of spent fuel).

Anyways, the likelihood of regulation is nil and a global world means those negative externalities will continue on churning till the world agrees we suck at managing risk. Which is also nil. Mental health crisis and insecure tech just isn't as flashy as nuclear in terms of getting regulated in the interest of public health.

Yes having someone vouch for you means a lot less BS - that's obvious. But you're still going to have to present a resume, and assuming you want the job you must take that part seriously.

Wolfram Alpha is computation. So it became a computational genius in precisely the things that Wolfram Alpha can do. A better test is whether it can prove new lemmas, like the average undergraduate in mathematics. From what I tried, it cannot do that yet.

I'm convinced that doesn't require a breakthrough in the architecture or scale of LLMs, though. GPT-4 seems plenty smart enough to be able to learn that, if hooked up to a proof assistant like Lean or Coq with the right fine tuning iteration loop.

The example in the last link you posted is misleading. GPT does not actually crawl the URL. It hallucinates the answer based on the words in the URL itself. Even though it then casts that hallucinated answer neatly into a Pydantic type. Try it with a URL that does not actually exist. Or a pastebin whose link is just some random hash.

3.5mm audio jack is ubiquitous and universal--just like USB--and is audio is a very common, if not the most common, peripheral. Manufactures use port loss opportunity to try to push to you buy wireless new earbuds or a new wireless charging setup (that doesn't compete on wired charging speed or ubiquity). Consumers are probably choosing wireless earbuds though because the dongle adds weight and inconvenience to what would otherwise be a standard audio port popular for decades--and many low-to-mid-end and feature phones still have the port because the target demographics aren't ones that are going to just go out and buy all new gear just to support the lifestyle a phone is pushing on them; consumers certainly aren't choosing wireless for their price, sound quality, or build quality, or repairability in comparison to wired options.

I could get on board with the idea iff, phone manufactures had dual USB-C jacks (ideally one at the bottom and one at the side and this could make it easier to consume landscape content like movies/games). Right now you have to choose between audio or power delivery with one port (or have a massive dongle that's half the size of the phone).
