My biggest issue with the early Airs is that they were so aggressive with how thin the display is, that the LCD is often damaged by the bag you keep it in from the outside.

A replacement display is basically 70+% the cost of the entire machine.

AppleCare had to replace two of them on my Sandy Bridge MacBook Air. They blamed the bag I kept it in(when replacing it the second time), but they also sold me the bag.

PhonePe | Bangalore, India | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://www.phonepe.com

PhonePe is India's largest FinTech company, dominating the market with a large market share and leading the competitors. It is very-well funded, just concluded a round of $600 million few months back. And we have large plans to enter new verticals, albeit slowly and in a calculated way. You can google us.

We are looking Linux Admins for 5+ years of experience minimum. Candidates should be well versed in Linux concepts, such as boot process, basic fine tuning, containers, troubleshooting, configuration, concepts such as networking, routing.

Also, if you interested in performance engineering, we are forming a cross functional team, so you will get to learn lot of things from basics.

We also expect you to know some MySQL, and some idea about message brooking tools like Kafka, RMQ etc. You don't need to have experience on them, but a good idea how they work internally.

We have 3 of our own DCs, with 10k+ bare metals. We run Ubuntu mostly, with apps deployed via KVMs and Docker. And BTW, we have written our own Docker Orchestrator to replace mesos, to which you are invited to criticize to which we are always open since we learn more that way :)

PhonePe offers good raises based on your current CTC. We offer stocks too, and plan to for an IPO within 5 years without which stocks don't really matter, do they :D

In our 80+ SRE team you will also learn how to transition from Linux Admins to SREs if you want to, and learn lot of tech, old and new in the process. And since company is growing, there will be lot of room to prove yourself and get further growth.

If interested, please send your resume to gautam.somani@phonepe.com with questions or doubts you may have.

If we were somehow able to prevent AI models from ingesting a codebase, that would mean everyone else who wants to produce similar code would have to re-invent the wheel, wasting their time repeating work that has already been done.

All because... the person who did it first wants attribution? They want their name to be included in some credits.txt file that nobody will ever read? That's ridiculous.
Work isn't always the best place to make or maintain friendships.

I think you're describing the difference of AI creating code vs developing _with_ AI which firmly keeps humans in charge but enabling them to be many times more efficient.
I had a last-gen 16" Intel MBP for work that started developing a number of frustrating issues in mid-to-late 2021, and was lucky enough that my IT department was able to replace it with an M1 Max in early 2022.

The difference in the experience between the two has been night and day. The M1 Max just handles everything I throw at it, only gets warm when I'm running something with heavy load for a long period, and never gets hot like the Intel MBP did.

Here's hoping you can get yours replaced too!
> You'll have to cut and paste the below link because JWZ has been slowly morphing into someone as easy to get on with as RMS in many respects.

This is incredibly uncharitable. Everyone has one or more communities they dislike - especially when they send a certain type of traffic your way - for jwz, HN is on his "no thanks" list. As for why, I can think of a few reasons why an old school hacker like jwz may dislike "Hacker News" and its values/ethos.
There's a parallel in policing: driving around and looking up plate numbers is perfectly fine in the opinion of some, but automating the same task by fixing cameras to police cars and using computer vision to do the task makes it qualitatively different. Scale can have an impact on the way tasks are viewed.

Felt | Engineering Manager, Data | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

We are on the lookout for a hands-on engineering manager for our data team. Felt makes giant geospatial datasets a breeze to work with [2] and we are currently building our next-generation of our data stack on AWS. The team you'll be managing is full of expert engineers from Facebook, Carto, Mapbox, and Uber. You might have used their work in mapping already; such as Tippecanoe. We also recently announced our sponsorship of QGIS [3] and have some amazing stuff planned in the next couple of quarters.

We are well-funded and just raised our $15M Series A. You can read more about it our funding here [4], and our announcement here [5]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[6]

If you are an experienced manager, please reach out via hello@felt.com!

That's not moving the goalposts - it's exactly what I've said throughout this thread. GPT is better, worse, and within human ranges at different tasks - but it can do a wide range of tasks.

That GPT can solve a wide variety of problems, including problems it's never seen before, is literally the definition of intelligence and pointing out results where it underperformed is not even attempting to rebut that.

Wouldn't fast decompression become very relevant for viewing lightfield data? If these media assets are indeed very big as you suggest, then doesn't it make sense to stream the relevant view data based on view orientation?

For something like that you'd low latency and thus fast decompression.
Constant backups are essential when using a computer without user-serviceable storage. That or mounting another [network] drive and doing all your work from that instead of internal storage. Otherwise you'll be without your data for hours if not days/weeks whenever something inevitably goes wrong (not even with the storage itself) and you can't simply pull the drive to continue working on another computer.
I have a hard time seeing why this wouldn't be the case.

The dollar's strength has much to do with the US leading the world in interest rate rises. Its not "dominance about to go into hyperdrive", it should slow the economy by hurting domestic spending and exports.
How are people managing the existence of data frame APIs like pandas/polars with SQL engines like BigQuery, Snowflake, and DuckDB?

Most of my notebooks are a mix of SQL and Python: SQL for most processing, dump the results as a pandas dataframe (via https://github.com/ploomber/jupysql) and then use Python for operations that are difficult to express with SQL (or that I don't know how to do it), so I end up with 80% SQL, 20% Python.

Unsure if this is the best workflow but it's the most efficient one I've come up with.

Remote work was supposed to be part of the long-term vision straight from the CEO, tied together with the Metaverse stuff. Said the recruiter. Other companies said much vaguer things. I'd expect recruiters saying they support WFH without mentioning the risk of that going away, but Facebook recruiting was making bolder claims (which ofc I took with a grain of salt).

Maybe this means the Metaverse is being abandoned.
This looks excellent! I have to try spinning it up in my homelab to see how well it works for my needs.
The money they save from buying components from Intel is sunk into development of the processors. They also have to pay for manufacturing and logistics. TSMC have also increased the cost of manufacturing by 9%. Add rampant inflation and a strong dollar into the mix, there’s your technical/logical reason.

Loved the bracelets, reminded me a lot of ones I used to make with friends growing up but were based off those plastic flat strings.

Another I see growing in popularity are bead painting. Inexpensive, slow paced, and can be communal since you can share your works or bead paint together since it doesn't require full concentration - some even sell their creations on etsy. If you don't want to deal with the daunting aspect of a blank canvas, paint by numbers also exist and is probably the ideal way to bead paint together. So if you're looking for an option with friends and family and bracelets aren't really your thing, try it out.

Cyberpunk was great to get 'hackers' on board with techno capitalism. Turns out most techies know more about tech than capitalism. The society-changing systems will never be broken wide open while most care about them. It's going to be the same with AI and VR/AR as it was with smartphones, the internet, and computers. A few dozen people control the internet. Open source phones never took off. And new computers are exponentially more powerful keeping the open stuff forever in the children's pool.

And I say this as someone who loves Neuromancer. But the "gadgets" are like playthings compared to the closed tech. It's trickle down effects. Not even guerilla warfare - it's the children's pool.
And that is absolutely worthy of discussion but the use of tools is a distraction from the topic. I find it surprising that the author felt it was even worth bringing up in the article. It makes no argument for or against the subject of the article but definitely plants some weird seeds of distrust for certain types of people.

Fair enough.

> This doesn't need AGI

This is where we disagree.

Code is so complex that I believe, strongly, that anything less than AGI will not be good enough. Notice I said "good enough". Sure, something less might be able to do something, but not good enough to make it a part of my toolkit.

Also, code is Turing-complete. These LLM's are not Turing-complete. How could something that is not Turing-complete hope to "understand" (for some definition) something that is?

I'm not sure that I can be too late. Tech trends over the last 20 years clearly demonstrate that societal mores can be shaped to fit any desired value set in less than a generation.

In other words, even Mac people don't feel an urge to upgrade their systems so often anymore. A slowdown of consumption, in these times of climate crisis, is nothing but good.
Good explanation. Thanks! Can the first part, i.e. vectorizing and finding relevant chunks be done with any LLM (e.g. a self hosted one) and the second part, i.e. querying relevant chunks be done with OpenAI?
Does this have any impact on the stability of the ship in rolling seas? Is this an issue that is countered with ballasts or would there need to be thought into a more traditional sailing keel?

Also, what is the maintenance like on these? When I was in the Navy we had huge crews to conduct routine maintenance but on cargo ships, there tend to be small numbers.

I've been itching to get a new MacBook (still running my trusty 2015 MBP), but the price is a killer. I like my laptop screens "as big as I can get them" and the cheapest 16" MBP is over $3000CAD while still having the same RAM and storage as my 2015.
I always broke MPLS-TE into two categories - traffic engineering for bandwidth, and fast reroute (FRR).

Bandwidth engineering, like Bruce said, was religion for some people and anathema for others. It saved at least one company from bankruptcy, letting them run the network they had much hotter than IP would have.

FRR, though, was an absolute game-changer. Local protection to failure and sub-50ms (often sub-10ms) protection switching in an IP network? Immensely valuable. Link connectivity protection was easy to deploy and I will argue made a massive difference in an Internet network's ability to provide real-time services in the face of failure. Node protection and bandwidth protection? Less so. But MPLS-TE-based FRR was the first local protection mechanism that didn't require you to have a specific topology and which could cover 100% of all connectivity failures.

I'm surprised Bruce didn't call out this distinction, because they really are two separate things using the same underlying tech.

Given China's, (and to some extent, Asia's), obsession with face, his actions do all seem pretty clueless. I wonder, could it all be part of some performance?

The fact that they let Ali "voluntarily" restructure, and save face from having it be enforced, is interesting on it's own. I'm not really sure what to make of it.
If we think of it in the same way we think of programming, journalists are the junior developers of the writing world, editors are the senior developers of the writing world. Editors are also writers and also do journalism, they just do it at a more high level, and that includes directing journalists on how to better do their job. It isn't necessarily a supervisory role, but more of a pedagogic relationship.

It seems to me, and I have experience in the alternative weekly newspaper world (which is long dead as a business model, but as a model of journalism, I feel one that we would do well to resurrect in some form) would prefer if all writers took on a more supervisory role, directing AI to do all of the investigatory work of showing up at the records office and sifting through city council transcripts. Then the human writer would do what humans do well and work those personal connections that they have much more time to do now that the AI is doing all the tedious grunt work.

I understand that people are frightened and in a bit of a panic, but these generative AI could do a vast amount to bring back truth to journalism, if we do this correctly. Will we? <shrug>
