U.S. charges Frank financial aid startup's founder with defrauding JPMorgan
In large rooms, a radiative space heater (the dish sort) are superior to either because you can point it directly at the person who's cold and heat them, instead of heating the entire room.
Most other European countries seem proud of their food heritage, so it might be limited to England although I'm skeptical about even that as I've had a damn good English breakfast in London.
You can't see downvotes on a direct link. But on the main comments page I can see the first one heavily downvoted.
> Nobody knows how to turn off the meter on a "nuclear taxi". Someone has to pay it even after the taxi has been demolished, the driver has retired, and the passenger is dead.

The same is true for a regular taxi. No one is going to put carbon back into the ground when you kick the bucket, and no one can put a price on the actual cost.
It had the worst job market -- if you weren't able to work from home. Most of the world ain't in STEM.

Many of us, myself included, already did that. I had to wear a mask to do my "morning commute" to get coffee, but otherwise my 9-5 was mostly the same.
When you think about the role of a CEO, it is ultimately about making risk / reward calculations in an incomplete data environment. Of course AI should be able to do this better - it can ingest more data and make more accurate projections. The only thing missing is the 'inspirational leader' part but that's presuming there remain human workers left to that need inspiring.
Someone use GPT to automatically annotate articles with domain specific knowledge so that I can highlight words/sentences/symbols/formulae/etc. and have it explain it to me.
Uh, it's been like this for at least 1.5 years? It definitely looks better and works much better than Amazon's, but Amazon (on the whole) has more features.

When we know what we want going to Amazon and checking the price is easy. When we have no idea what we want and have the option of getting it delivered from the store the same day we just use Walmart.
Like many good posts, this one got me thinking, and elicited a visceral reaction.

The idea of traits as types is potentially interesting from a pedagogical perspective, since it gives us another way of thinking about things. But whether it is simply analogous or is in fact homologous is the key question: If simply analogous, then we need to understand the limit of the analogy, where it works, where it fails. If homologous, then we have a powerful tool to draw upon, much like how mathematicians can switch analytic techniques equivalent over whatever category they are working with, or how physicists change coordinate systems to make the math and understanding easier for particular types of motion.

I tend to think it is simply an analogy, but I don't yet know where its limits lie.

> Really the only difference is that we manually convert from Friend to Display in Gleam, where Rust already knows how to use Friend as a Display.... Instead of a trait, just make a type that implements the generic behavior you want, and then write a function to convert your data-type into your trait-type.

Aaaand here's where my gut twists. Why? Why would you do that? Why would you ever do "instead of... -> just" where the compiler will do it for you?

Twice in that quote the author espouses writing more code because reasons, and, honestly, I don't think the reason is any better than "Gleam doesn't haven't traits and we're all OK with doing the extra work".

That's fine. If that's how someone wants to work, and if their code works for them and is as maintainable as they need it to be, great! I cannot gainsay that.

And I'll note that for someone who hasn't yet grokked generics and traits, the Gleam code may be more readable, because things are more spelled out.

Sort of reminds me of my early Javascript, before I got comfortable with promises, composition, lambdas, and a few other things: Very readable blocks of code, often many lines long, that I would now replace with a single line.

But once one understands traits and constraints, one can write very powerful, and, thanks to how Rust works, safe code that other (oh, I do have to use that term? oh, ok) Rustaceans will grok quickly, code that will likely also be performant.

If I can save myself time and screen space AND make it clear to others what's happening AND make it safe and performant, I'm in.

(I'll just remember to add comments as to why this is a single line and why that isn't.)

From where I’m standing, we seem to be intentionally building something which is capable of causing problems…on purpose.

Almost kind of like being a suicidal civilisation. Like if ChatGPT-6 doesn’t end the world and it’s really useful, we won’t stop there and say, “we’ll that was useful” someone will try build ChatGPT-7.

Maybe it’s just unstoppable curiosity.

It would be wise to slow down or stop, but the geeks are insatiable for it and we don’t have anyway to stop that yet, perhaps introduce a new intellectual challenge with a lot of status and money to distract them ?
The conflict was almost inevitable. In January, before the war started, Russia made the last attempt to stop the expansion. The U.S. rejected it [1]. Russia made multiple hints saying that if the expansion continues, they'll invade. That's why, imho, Biden was so confident in Feb 19-20 saying the war will begin within a week. Heck, even Ukraine knew everything, but they decided to hide it from people - this was confirmed by the Ukrainian government during one of the interviews.

I'm definitely not going to argue that you need ECS to do much of anything, but ECS has come long way in the past 4 years from a tool that lets you have lots of entities in a game, to a more generic system for entity management.

Things like entity relationships (https://ajmmertens.medium.com/building-games-in-ecs-with-ent...) introduced features that were already common in existing entity management systems, such as entity hierarchies.

An ECS can also come with a bunch of tools for inspecting entities, monitoring performance or changing components in realtime (https://www.flecs.dev/explorer/). Definitely not something you need to complete a game, but very handy.
Hungary and Turkey can do whatever they want, but the effect of sabotaging the alliance is that they get cut off from US arms deals, maybe even French ones. We have seen this when Turkey bought the S400 from Russia - they got kicked out of the F-35 program. Hungary is still leasing planes from Saab. They will ratify Sweden's NATO membership.

I’ll check out the TPM, but our big draw with the Enclave system is being able to run general purpose code (Python / Go) inside a secure isolated environment. The earlier system we had was SEE machine on a HSM and required a special compiler to run - I haven’t seen the Nitro TPM just yet, but I doubt I’d be able run a container inside the boundaries of the TPM.
Hi all, I'm a software engineer-turned grad student (Duke - MS Econ/CS) set to graduate in May and looking to start a job in July. I've got about four years of software experience, plus two of research/data experience. I'm mostly interested in data science jobs or adjacent (i.e. data engineering or ML engineering). That said, I could be open to the right backend or full-stack software job if the problem space is interesting enough.

The Encyclopedia of Chess Openings (ECO) codes, for example B70 to B79 for the Sicillian Dragon https://www.365chess.com/eco/B70-B79_Sicilian_dragon_variati..., were a major advance. They were invented in the 1960s, and the popularity of openings has changed since then, so subdivision of some codes, perhaps by appending decimals to the current system, would be a good thing.

> To ensure developers are context-switching, recompilation should take at least 20 seconds.

So true. But only 20 seconds? The project im working on takes 20 MINUTES to compile for any code change. I constantly forget about it while trying to get something else done in the mean time. It frequently takes whole days to track down and verify simple issues.
I got hired from that thread, for what it's worth. Love my job.
Wow, I assumed those numbers were still universally recognized in tech, but I guess it makes sense that they're not anymore.

Sure, because Big Tech is trying to retain control of the market via subscriptions and rent-seeking.
>No but it is their job to understand it, otherwise you’re not contributing anything valuable, you’re stirring up drama

Frankly, this sounds exactly like toxic management where people are not allowed to raise issues which then blames everybody but themselves for consequential infectivity.

> If I point to a light switch and call out it’s a problem that does you no good unless I tell you why, and why it’s like that in the first place.

I I point to a light switch and say that it does not work, I do not need to be able to fix it by myself. For that matter, it is good example, because we are not even allowed to fix electric devices by ourself (workplace safety).
You guys? Who do you mean by that?

Yes. I think of 5 people I contacted over 3 years, one got hired. (and it was a very successful hire)
I don’t see why AGI plus sensory input couldn’t in principle give you qualia. In fact, I’ve heard some folks like philosophers argue that sensory input is kind of essential to getting AGI, and since current AI like LLMs don’t have sensory input, they therefore can’t develop general intelligence.

If we put Multimodal GPT-4 in a computer on a robot and instructed it to drive somewhere while avoiding obstacles, avoiding hazards… that right there is a primitive type of self-preservation instruction which it could potentially interpret as generalizable self-preservation as it would have an association of “hazard avoidance” with “self-preservation,” and have tons of examples of what “self preservation” means in its training weights. Putting LLMs into action like this can lead potentially to unexpected behavior like that, although I don’t think the mechanisms in GPT-3/4 are yet there to enable this without a bunch of extra hooks.
Anec-data but I found this site via a friend who frequented here, and he had previously gotten a job with a start-up via one of those posts.

He rapidly left -- maybe 6-9 months? -- but got a job nonetheless.
> Amphetamines and methamphetamine are closely related.

In the field of biochemistry, this is virtually meaningless. A single substitution group is capable of producing wild changes in pharmacokinetics. The left and right-handed enantiomers of these molecules don't even act the same way in the body, and these aren't even positional isomers. The similarities with AMP and MAMP begin and end with being TAAR1 agonists. Off the top of my head, MAMP is also a potent agonist for sigma 1 & 2 receptors, and is generally more promiscuous.

Methamphetamine is a substituted amphetamine, not a "derivative". They're both simple substituted phenylethylamines, another TAAR1 agonist that is extremely prolific in your neurochemistry as we speak, and an incredibly diverse family of monoamines that range from lethal neurotoxin to serotonergic hallucinogen. The difference between the two is often as simple as a single atom moved 2 or 3 substitution points over. When you lack basic domain knowledge, please don't call other people dumb as you try (and fail) to correct them.
Russia perceives small countries bordering them having sovereignty as an encroachment on its territory. Don't they realize that they are supposed to be Russian puppet states?
The Trojan horse for OneDrive/Sharepoint is that they're all the SAME in the back end, and you can interact with them via Teams and nobody knows the difference.

Now that with Office + Teams + Sharepoint you get multiplayer Powerpoint/Excel/Word, Google Docs is on the backfoot again - the HUGE advantage to Docs was being able to work on them collaboratively, even if they were missing 50-80% of the features expected.
Fair enough, thanks for clarifying. I haven't run into too many of those people (brutally aggressive and terrific engineers). The toxic people I've run into spent all their time trying to look smart to cover their incompetence.
seems like it wouldn't be too hard, just tedious, to compile all the data.

Hey folks I'm the author of the post and happy to see that it gets so much attention on HN. Thank you for the incredible comments!

I want to clarify something about my intention with this post. There is a reason I chose "mostly" on the title. I'm not dismissing the different needs of ML.

if a category withstands the tests of the market, then there's good reason for it to exist.

But, we have ended up creating silos within orgs with fundamentally aligned goals because of the way we build products and companies around them.

What I'm advocating for in this article, is the need to think more holistically when we design and build data infra tooling. Yes ML has unique challenges but these challenges won't be addressed by reinventing everything again and again.

Tooling should be built having in mind all the practitioners involved in the lifecycle of data.

It's harder to do but at least we'll stop wasting our time building one Airflow copy after the other that is doomed to fail.
It is a conspiracy theory. One that is true.

I am seeing the same issue in the data space, even non-regulated companies store all their data in their account and in data stores that they control.

Totally agreed. I don't trust smart people who can't explain their ideas. It's not that I don't think they're right, it's that I don't think it's a good business idea to operate on faith. But also, being able to break a concept down increases the smart person's level of comprehension of their ideas - it's not only proof, it has tangible benefit.
Hey everyone, I quite frankly really didn't expect our project getting on HN front page in 2 minutes after posting. I'm one of the creators of this project.

It's pretty nascent and a lot of work needs to be done so bear with us please. I'm traveling in 30 minutes but I'm happy to answer your questions.

A little about my co-founder and myself:
We've been building devtools for years now. We're really passionate about the field. The most recent thing we built is https://usedevbook.com. The goal was to build a simple framework/UI for companies to demo their APIs. Something like https://gradio.app but for API companies. It's been used for example by Prisma - we helped them build their playground with it - https://playground.prisma.io/

Our new project - e2b - is using some of the technology we built for Devbook in the past. Specifically the secure sandbox environments where the AI agents run are our custom Firecracker VMs that we run on Nomad.

Finland having powerful allies as we move closer to WW3 is well worth celebrating. The only people not celebrating are vatniks and vatnik sympathizers. Polarized indeed.
It sounds more like MLops does fall into devops or data engineering but it expands the definition.

That data engineers or devops people don’t have the background to do MLops doesn’t mean MLops is outside of those disciplines. MLops increasingly seems like a very specific version of these things with unique challenges.

Whether or not serving models fits “traditional” methods seems irrelevant.
I read the post, saw this comment, then re-read it again. I did not get the impression that author was trying to be negative. I think they were just trying to write in an "edgy" style. I've seen most of the things on the list happen (at least to a degree).

On the topic of contagious jerks, my experience has been that these people often suck at engineering.

For example, a few years ago, one of the product managers was super excited to recruit an engineer they had worked with before. The engineer was talked up. A real genius. Someone who would come in and do things right. He would lead a new sibling team working on a new product. I was excited. We could use the help as we were going through hyper-growth.

The engineer seemed smart, but had a very sarcastic and negative attitude. The existing architecture was garbage. Everyone's code was terrible. Even the choice of language was wrong. While he was respectful towards me and the work I had done, I saw him put down most of the people around him. I kept my distance and let him do his thing. It wasn't my place in the organization to interfere anyway.

The end result was he drove half his team to quit, delivered an absolute disaster of a system, and then left.

I've seen versions of this play out a few times. My experience has been that the smartest people are often the nicest because they are smart enough to recognize the value in lifting everyone. I know its not always the case and I have worked with difficult people who genuinely were incredible engineers as well, but they tend not to actively put everyone around them down.

Then encode a surround sound signal as a Dolby Pro Logic II stereo signal and you’ve got a surround sound record!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Pro_Logic

DPLII was based on the fact that if you invert one channel of a stereo signal, it sounds effectively the same. So, they had some way of encoding front and back signals as some sort of symmetry/anti-symmetry between the left and right signal.
> It does amuse me that we're still at more people hiring than looking for jobs. It's a stark contrast to other industries, where the power is normally in the hands of employers.

In my area, many businesses outside of the tech sector is actively hiring and can't find enough people. I think Covid triggered a demographic shift with many Boomers retiring (or dying) and that gap has not been filled.

The problem is that you can’t play around with undervolting without consequences.

When you reduce the voltage, the gate voltages are lower, and the drain-source resistance of FETs will be higher, which means higher output impedances, and slower switching times. This will not affect every part of the circuit equally—because the circuit has all sorts of different gates and cells in it. Digital ICs, for one thing, are not made out of transistors which are all the same size. Some transistors are made larger than others. So when you undervolt things, you’re changing the performance of the circuit in very difficult to predict ways. If you end up with some gate delay that is too large, you’ll get errors. If you end up with some driver transistor that can no longer drive what it is supposed to drive, you’ll get errors.

At this point in history, we have done an immense amount of fine-tuning to our IC designs, and there is not much room for fiddling with voltages. Chips are also so large and complicated that you cannot really know that you are testing the entire chip with a given workload, unless you have a lot of insight into the chip’s architecture.

Finally, any circuit which is used for some kind of trusted computing environment needs to block undervolting because undervolting has been used in various exploits to extract keys from hardware, or bypass certain protections. It’s a weird, weird world.
Not sure those numbers matter, since Stalin had the only vote that mattered 1924-1953.

And he happened to be Georgian.
Modern wars with Russian invasions are the Chechen wars, the Russo-Georgian war and the Ukrainian war. Of those all are in the 2000's. Not sure why 2007 was the important cutoff here. I'm sure Russia would have invaded two countries per year if it had the capability to actually match the massive imperialist ambitions.

Before that, it was the original WW2 formation of the Soviet union with invasions of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithunia, Czechoslovakia and so on and so forth (which was obviously the whole reason for the existence of NATO).

The WW2 and postwar period wasn enough to sway e.g. Sweden to join NATO. Nor were the Afghan, Chechen or Georgian wars. It took the Ukrainan war to really see the veil come off.

But in this entire period I don't think there is much in terms of annexations by NATO countries, or countries currently in NATO but before the formation of NATO?

Not sure what your comment above really tries to say? Is it "I don't understand how countries in Russias vincinity can be afraid of annexation by their imperialist neighbor, they only invade a country every 5-10 years that's not so bad"? Are you hearing yourself?
