This just shows that "unreachable" is almost impossible to use safely. The only safe use of unreachable is if it is immediately after an instruction that makes the program stop running. It is not for "this cannot happen", because things that "cannot happen" happen all the time. If you use "unreachable", you're just asking for trouble and it seems the compiler authors are happy to oblige.
That's not an issue with remote work. That's the way the company operates - it's failure on the "people" and culture team.
Consider checking out Cherno on YouTube. He's got video series on c++, building his game engine and then developing games for it. I don't think you'll find a ton of other courses because it makes little sense for people to build something from scratch or from a small library when they can use Unity, Godot and Unreal. Hence the market isn't there to build courses. There's another Twitch streamer that's really well-known but his name escapes me now. The issue there is that he's been developing his engine for several years so there's just way too many videos.
It's also true that he can't possibly take the entire year off as PTO, because he'd be fired before it's allowed to happen. So taking a full year PTO is already a contradiction.

Then in classicial logic, a contradiction can imply anything:

Therefore he can be fired 0,1,2,10,100,1000 times, with all those possibilities being true simultaneously.

You would hope so but this guy wasn't really killed by AI. At most the AI agreed with him when he came up with the batty idea to sacrifice himself to save the climate, but his depression and withdrawal came before he ever started with the AI and that was due to reading climate stuff. One might say he was knowingly manipulated into killing himself by climate doomers, many of who are quite open in their belief that "over population" as they put it is evil and it'd be better if fewer people were alive.
I’m not saying they weren’t popular, but that if you had actually implemented what the public wanted then you would have ended up with universal healthcare.

Same with the EPA. It’s an improvement, so people like it, but it’s not what people actually want.
I did buy a (Brother DCP-J4120DW) colour inkjet printer all-in-one device. And (surprisingly to me) it actually doesn't suck. The Linux drivers work. Sure, the ink is pricey, but it has generally been trouble-free. I left it for a couple of years without printing anything and it clogged up, but when the pandemic hit and I started having to print at home again, it cleared up with a couple of head-cleaning operations. I'm not printing much - maybe a double-sided sheet a week.

So yeah, the advice to never buy an inkjet - it's true but not disastrously true all the time.

Ask HN: Is the “open” in OpenAI just “open-washing”?
After reading a bit into it, I can't seem to grasp what the "open" in OpenAI is referring to, as it's main codebase is in no way, shape or form, open in any way.

Am I missing something?
Why would an AI be liable for saying things that a human could also say without liability?

No he didn't, he was already convinced of that before he started talking to the AI. Read the original Belgian article. The text can be found in JSON in the page source code.
What past do you refer to ? GRs exist since 1947.
Trails didn't change a lot since then, the principle stayed the same : Red and white signs to mark the path, and "recuperation" of historical paths, made by the circulation of persons (think about Le Saint Jacques de Compostelle, which is the historical path of the pilgrims).
It never was "extreme" or "dangerous" to follow a trail without a map in france, you would go through a lot of villages where you could get some water, buy some food, ask for directions and etc...

Very logically, if I were to plan a 2 week hike without a map in the past, I would go to a village that's on a GR path, walk one week and then go back. I never felt unconscious or in danger, I had no cellphone and no map

European wages are incredibly low, so this isn't so surprising.

This is a problem across the civil service, although not as stark as this example usually.

The cult of the generalist has long meant that specific skills are considered almost worthless. Instead of the civil service being an assemblage of people with different skill-sets, it instead consists chiefly of administrators with no more skills than a high-school graduate (although they do have tertiary degrees). Jobs which require actual skill are then farmed out to contractors by these 'generalists'.

The problem is baked into the pay structure, which tends to be based on seniority and how many people you manage rather than skill. You can't just up salaries across the board because then you'd be paying all the unskilled 'generalists' far too much.

They need to completely reorient the civil service away from the notion of generalists, because they're not true generalists. If someone can't code in this day and age they're not a generalist. And if they have no other specialist skill-set besides (say law or accounting) then they shouldn't even be considered professionals. What we have today is a civil service made of pseudo-professionals who in fact do exactly the same sort of work once done by much cheaper clerical staff.
The whole of Europe really...
Many because they stole company secrets, or actually hacked the company's servers and walked out with company documents.
Here's the reporting on the takeover attempt[1], it also mentions he didn't provide anything like the amount of funding that was initially expected. Sam has been quite open about what is going on with OpenAI - namely that what they needed to develop the tech was billions of dollars, and the only way they would get that money is a private venture, which they've negotiated with terms that actually limit the upside with profits beyond a certain point returning to the non-profit entity, as well as the issues with dumping potentially dangerous tech straight into the public domain. Also, OpenAI was never a partnership between just Musk and Altman, there were half a dozen other people involved including Thiel and Reid Hoffman, there is no way that Altman unilaterally pushed Musk out. It looks a lot more like Musk wanted to be in charge, and doesn't like that OpenAI ended up succeeding without him.

They are able to prepare individual arrangements for the 'right' candidate. The secretary of each ministry typically has delegation to increase starting salary and issue 'special bonuses', and there should be an oversight committee.

Double quotes are your friend. Not excusing how irrelevant the results have become, but when you anticipate this behavior, use the exact phrase method.
140k is an incredible salary in the UK though, like top 0.1% at least.

It's also hard to compare things 1:1 - since the NHS is "free" (via taxation), but it doesn't cover dentistry at all really whereas equivalent good US health insurances will do.

"The Innovators" by Walter Isaacson is great, about the history of computers from mechanical computers in the 1800s with Babbage and Lovelace through to the first digital computers in the 1940s, the transistor and integrated circuits, and the first personal computers of the 1970s.

Civil service requires line reports for certain pay bands so they may well have hired the apprentices to justify this fat salary for the individual contributor.

The job will likely be filled by a candidate from elsewhere in the CS e.g. ex police on thierv way to a date cheque in the private sector. I imagine this would make a very good stepping stone to a senior cyber job in financial services.
Not everyone can be as honest, brilliant, insightful and just as you dear Sir.
> The diagrams we show computer science students that purport to illustrate how the CPU, memory, and I/O devices are connected in a computer are woefully out of date and often represent an idealized computer from about 1970 or 1975. These diagrams are, of course, complete fictions when you're looking at a modern server, but people still believe them.

And yet, we still see the common misconception that CPU speed == clock speed.

> It is true that the days of upgrading every year and getting a free—wait, not free, but expensive—performance boost are long gone, as we're not really getting single cores that are faster than about 4GHz.
I don't mind the control on BRFs stopping absentee landlords - as it helps to keep the prices for residents reasonable.

But the rent-controlled first hand contracts system is ridiculous - that needs to be abolished to have a true market on direct rentals - so all residents could rent directly from the housing companies without landlord middlemen.
Why would you expect your code to compile and run correctly on the first try? Same energy.

They can test / simulate as much as they want on the ground but the first full launch is bound to reveal issues.

Best case those issues just stop it from reaching the desired level of performance, more realistically they mean it goes boom at some point.
You might be right on the first point. Edit: actually, you might not be. There are languages with compound lvalues and CPU architectures with multiple result registers (x86 being the best-known example). E.g. you can do "(result, flags, err) = do_stuff(a, b, c)" in Go, and x86 DIV storing different parts of the division result in different registers: https://c9x.me/x86/html/file_module_x86_id_72.html
And generally with common CPU architectures, flags are another such result register that is always written, such that any operation like c := a+b is actually something like (c, flags) := a+b. And for stuff like multiplication, there is actually the notion of two result registers being the higher and lower part of the resulting operation, like (a * 2^32 + b) = c * d (see x86 MUL). Therefore some precision in language is necessary for the discussion (and yes, the different meanings of ==, =, := in various languages and mathematics are also confusing, even to me ;).

I do strongly disagree on the second one about pass/fail. This kind of nitpicking is necessary here, because the discussion is about a standard intended to precisely describe such operations, and how the underlying hardware might be utilized to execute them. Being imprecise in this context is dangerous, wrong, problematic and leads to the whole point of the discussion being lost in a sea of handwaving.
It's a problem with all government departments. They can't pay market rates for software engineers. But can hire contractors and third party vendors. Facepalm * 100. That's why body shops like Accenture et al makes a killing in government contracts.
If you look at Zürich, one thing that stands out is that everything related to school and daycare / day school works a LOT better in Zürich than in surrounding nearby cities and villages, which is probably a boon of having a socialist city government. So for parents it IS attractive to stay in Zürich instead of moving 30 train minutes outside.

Of course not everything is greener in Zürich, but if you need some public services like well organized schools or services for the elderly, Zürich city is really a bit nicer.
Do you have a source that's not the Verge? I've learned to not trust them for anything Musk related as they have a history of incorrect and biased reporting.

> it also mentions he didn't provide anything like the amount of funding that was initially expected

Elon provided $100M, were they expecting more than that? That's quite a lot of money for an early company.

> Also, OpenAI was never a partnership between just Musk and Altman, there were half a dozen other people involved including Thiel and Reid Hoffman, there is no way that Altman unilaterally pushed Musk out. It looks a lot more like Musk wanted to be in charge, and doesn't like that OpenAI ended up succeeding without him.

It doesn't surprise me that Elon wanted to be in control, given that they started to go against the joint vision established by Sam and Elon from the get go. You mention it was "half a dozen other people", but it was Elon and Sam that were the public leaders for the vision of the company.

> All the Windows history tells me that backward compatibility is the killer feature of Windows.

Backwards compatibility generally means you can use programs made for older versions of Windows on newer versions of Windows.

What you want is the opposite of that: run a new program on an old version of Windows. Expecting that of all programs would mean no new OS feature or API could ever be used.

Generally staying on an old OS means you accept that you don't get to use newer programs.
Ask HN: Urgent: Earthquake Aid in Turkey Needs Free Excel and Tech Help
Hello Hacker News Community,

I am currently in the earthquake zone around Hatay in Turkey. More than two weeks ago my roommate asked me if I could imagine - to drop everything to help there together with a Sufi community. As a matter of course I agreed and so the next evening I found myself as a carload of a VW T5. In Bulgaria we bought tents and sleeping bags as well as all kinds of material. In the mountains of Turkey, however, I was unfortunate enough to sprain my ankle. Now I am not a very big help in the camp. I almost feel more like a bit of a burden. Nevertheless, I am lovingly cared for and would like to use my skills as a scribbler to ask for technical support. Yesterday I was asked for help if I knew of any way to get several licenses for Excel free of charge. We receive donations daily in the form of toys, food, clothing and more. These need to be listed for organizational purposes.

We are located in Samandagi in a run down beach restaurant. Any help is appreciated. I myself am already living at the minimum, as I do not have a steady job and my open source programs are breadless art.

If anyone has experience in dealing with earthquakes or crisis situations and how to use technology to advantage - write to me. And if anyone from Microsoft or any other major tech company is listening in.... ask your manager if they could provide us with something. We have limited internet - so offline tools are preferred (like Excel).

Sincerely, Janis Jendraß (me@janis.io)
Feels like there might have been a mistake on the job listing.

It’s listed as mid-senior, with the same salary band as the roles this would be managing.
In the USA your interest rate is fixed for the term of the mortgage. There are exceptions but they are comparably extremely rare.

I think you have a good point though regarding places that reset interest every n-years. People will struggle to make payments. It will be interesting to see what happens in places like Canada. I’m guessing millions more people on the governments teet. I assume the current admin wound love that.
Ask HN: What if we add first then multiply in matrix multiplication?
Or even replace them with other binary operations?

There usually are reasons for real estate prices that you can’t know from basic stats.

Also about the point of being unaffordable, your first listing basically doubled since the last sale a few years ago, so in relative terms things aren’t looking too good. The second one’s estimate seems to have gone down recently, which tbh in this environment makes me think there is something very wrong with the house or the area and I would research the crap out of it before even considering looking at it.
Wonder why? Extremely stable? High dynamic range? Depth of field? All of the above?

I agree rust isn’t perfect, but I think you underestimate the value of “safe” code.

I often write programs that have unsafe code. However, the unsafe code is never more than 100 lines, which means I have a very small amount of code to reason about — Rust users expect (of course, you as a programmer has to enforce) that it should be possible to cause UB from safe code, so my “safe interface” to my unsafe code ensures my code can’t cause UB, no matter what I call.

On problem with Rust is generally when you mess up it panics — I think that’s better than buffer overflows and the like, but still not a good user experience.

This means there is a very small amount of code I have to really think about, while in C or C++, basically any place x[i] appears (regardless of if x is a pointer or a std::vector).

You can of course write safe C code, people do, but it’s hard, and it only takes one slip up anywhere in your program to blow it.
Seems odd to me to group places like NY and SF together solely based on the second derivative of their population. If one has bounced back and restarted growth, while the other continues to shrink, just less rapidly, you can’t say they’re comparable. Regrowth vs slowed shrinkage are different things, even if they look similar by calculus.
The answer is much simpler, it's simply not a high power job. It's an inflated job title for the person in the IT department who leads a team of 2 people focused on cyber security. It reports into the IT department (which obviously at the treasury isn't really an important department), and is several levels away from senior leadership. In the private sector this role would be the most junior level of management- something like "Lead" or "Supervisor" not the head of a department.
There is no way to have affordable housing in a rich democracy, period. There are no exceptions to that. To have housing affordable, you need to either "fix" "rich" - then people will not have enough income left for housing after expenses for food, and there won't be a bidding war for properties, people's problem will be hunger - or you need to "fix" democracy, then people's desire to uphold their property values by limiting construction won't matter, and demand will be quickly and easily filled by developers by building millions of Soviet-style apartment blocks, collapsing prices.

Nothing in this world is for free. Unaffordable housing is just one of the unavoidable costs of living in a democratic country.
Immigrants are the same all over: less cultured, less educated and poorer than the host country. Otherwise they wouldn't immigrate.
It was originally meant to be a non profit, funded by a bunch of really rich people. Turns out that they didn't have enough money to get to AGI and Elon wasn't willing to fund enough of it, rather preferring to develop AI at Tesla.

So they went for profit, then doubled down and got into bed with Microsoft. There's a cap on profit though, a limit on ROI that investors can take. Past that point it goes back into the non profit organisation.

There is some openness though - they purposely made ChatGPT mostly free and the API extremely cheap so that it's accessible to everyone, not just the rich.
