that is just simply not true. all evidence including anecdotal points to much lower salaries than we saw in last 2 years. Where and for which roles are you seeing salaries climb?

I know it's passe, but I generally like to start with a set of requirements first. In the old days, when we were doing XP instead of agile, we didn't feel the pressure to "code something, anything." Now, unless I check in a couple thousand lines of code per day people think I'm slacking.

But... not trying to say "build the UI first" is a bad choice if it works for you. I do mostly backend work on "high trust" transactions, so I tend to look at the API first and see if it matches the requirements i have at the time.
Thank you Captain Obvious. The parent comment was about classes at UT in general, not about one specific class.
Let’s assume AI replaces all the careers it can for all existing methods of interaction it can (writers replaced with generated creative, programmers replaced with generative programs, etc). I see two things happening: 1) a flood of competition into careers which haven’t been automated, 2) massive interest in R&D to disrupt unimpacted careers (find ways to automate; find alternate solutions which integrate and scale better, e.g. who needs custom work when every house becomes prefab’ed/standardized)
It uses Signals as well and does not use a VDOM.

Leptos is another frontend library that uses Signals and does not use a VDOM.
https://github.com/leptos-rs

I think the key feature of these frontend frameworks is they enable Rust developers to do full-stack web development in the same way Nodejs enabled front end developers to do full-stack.
I miss those days... Everything now takes countable seconds to load or do anything... I'm running a 3090 with a decent processor, and 32GB of RAM yet even some of the simplest things take so long anymore.

I miss those ugly forms days specifically too haha I personally prefer UX over any amount of design so I remember being so disappointed when Microsoft started introducing everyone to the concept of flat layouts that don't differentiate sections and just generally don't even look conceptually usable half the time. Give me ugly fast forms over looks any day.
The problem was solved by standardizing tag-soup. Now just any tag-soup will get displayed the same according to the new specs.
Substack really competes with creators leaving and setting up their own newsletter + payment gateway software. That’s like a $20,000 or so project from a web dev firm and for a creator who gets $200,000 a year from their newsletter it pays for itself in a year. The trouble is that substack makes almost all of its money from two handfuls of users who make more than that so if substack loses those creators it is left with all the expenses but none of the revenue.

The question about any feature they add is “what does it do about that situation?”
> ... remember that the technologies you develop will be used to slaughter the innocent.

I totally agree. One should think carefully before helping to arm a nation or its people. It's a weighty decision.

I wish the answer was as straight-forward as armament is bad, pacifism is good. Unfortunately, AFAIK unarmed nations don't last very long.
Good point, using thanks.dev you can adjust to scan multiple levels into the dependency tree. That ensures you can reach as many people as possible.
The lower one’s IQ, the more likely they are to agree to an IQ test as an interview condition, instead of walking away. Unless they happen to be intellectually curious about their result, I suppose.
> you can Google the answers to most of the questions

1) Students can Google the answers also, but neither students nor GPT-4 are allowed to Google the answers during the test, so it remains a fair comparison.

2) Many of the questions require calculations, which are far less Googleable.
Are you worried about scams specifically or the threat to privacy that transparent txns present?
I am a person of colour too. And I don't get what is wrong with what the person you replied to said.

I mean, if you wish to signal your disdain for Musk's political views, you can leave Twitter. How is that an "attempt to invalidate and dismiss people's concerns" ?

And radical "woke" folks have been tweeting about killing and murdering white people on twitter for ages without much blowback. I always found it strange that was tolerated in the woke twitter days.

If Twitter fails - which it may definitely do - it will be because Musk screwed up and fired a lot of good engineering folk and got rid of power user features - which has made a lot of creators angry. But "racism" is un-likely to be the primary driving cause. It has always existed on Twitter.

I doubt that one showed that. It was just a test of visual shapes/pattern recognition. Could you quickly spot the next recurring shape/pattern from the previous five. How dopes this demonstrate creative problem solving?

It's hard out there. I was laid off in January, and still I don't see signs of ending this job search soon.

Context for you: I'm a mid-level Growth PM based in Europe who worked mostly in early stage B2B YC startups.

How am I doing? This is my 11th week in job search, 96 applications, 10 interviews (1 still active), and 0 offer.

My insights so far:

- there's definitively no rush from employers to close their openings, and for the first time in a job search (this is my 4th) I got 2 interviews suspended because they decided to prioritize another leadership hire before closing for the role that I was interviewing for;

- most of the mid level openings are masqueraded senior roles;

I feel so bad for people early in their career, for the first time I think I've never encountered an entry level opening... I was trying to also help my wife to get a job in tech (she is very early in her career), but currently it doesn't seem possible.

Luckily we are financially ok, which is the main thing that allowed me to stay positive, in relatively good mood, and don't feel overwhelmed with the daily rejections.
> The frustrating thing is that companies will likely be getting away with stating falsehoods and/or not following through on what the AI claimed they'll do.

This has been a key feature of digitization generally, delegate responsibility to a computer and remove the autonomy of the human worker. We all just accept that computers screw up so we don't expect better.
I not sure I'm upset yet, but I'm definitely concerned, and rather pessimistic on the outcome.

Looks too much like deja vu all over again.

What bother me the most is that they don't seem to address the issue at all in the announcement. I'm not going to pretend I'm the only one who sees how things could get awry here. I wish they had at least given a nod to the very likely worst case scenario, and maybe explained why they think they're in a better position then pretty-much-every-other-social-media.

I just wonder how long it's going to take for:

* this Notes tab to be the first thing that the app opens

* Content from people I have not subscribed to, to be the first thing in the Notes tab

* This content being stuff I do not care about

* In short form

* Optimized to get "engagement" (aka "arguments between trolls")

Learning a second language is a huge investment of time, and at least some money, that will soon have no significant economic upside.
Not everybody happy living in the future. I'm annoyed most of the time I had to use on-screen keyboard on iPhone - it is slow, error prone and auto-correction only makes it worse when I use uncommon terms. I want hardware keyboard like it was on Nokia with Symbian or Blackberry back.
It was definitely easier in the 2000s. At that time there was so much to build and not that many people to compete with.
First Contribution and Up to full speed ramp up are completely different things.

Expectations at FAANGS is that it might take a month or two for the contribution to start (one week, if you count bootcamp tasks at Meta), but it takes about 6+ months to full ramp up at the Senior+ level.

At small startups, it is very different.

I haven't read Shellenberger myself, but if his thesis is that homelessness is primarily caused by addiction, mental illness, etc., and not housing unaffordability, then from the empirical data I've heard of, I would have to disagree.

> Because unlike poverty and mental illness and drug abuse and weather and welfare benefits and other factors, the places that have the highest housing costs, and the least housing supply, have the largest homeless populations:

> [graphs]

> In literally any other realm, this would come as no surprise. You can’t have what you can’t afford. If someone says, “I want a $2000 laptop, but can’t afford it,” nobody would find that hard to believe. But if someone says, “I really want the single largest and most crippling expense known to man, housing, but can’t afford it,” for some bizarre reason people would say, “that’s not true!,” or “correlation isn’t causation,” or “homelessness isn’t a housing problem,” or something patently insane. As I said before, the topic of homelessness breaks people’s brains.

> The story of homelessness in America is perfectly captured by the following quote in the Economist:

>> Few Americans lived on the streets in the early post-war period because housing was cheaper. Back then only one in four tenants spent more than 30% of their income on rent, compared with one in two today. The best evidence suggests that a 10% rise in housing costs in a pricey city prompts an 8% jump in homelessness.

> And that’s just it: before modern-day homelessness, there was poverty, there was mental illness, there was nice weather, there was welfare, there were liberal places, and there were drugs. So, something must have changed. And what changed were the rents:

A related critical article I found on the Wikipedia page for his book seems to be exactly along these lines: https://homelessness.ucsf.edu/blog/san-fransicko-incorrect-a...

Nevertheless, it's entirely possible that San Francisco's other policies have exacerbated the issues caused by homelessness and housing unaffordability. I don't think it's too much to ask that the city should allow more housing to be built and that organised retail theft gangs be punished.
> No one called this, and certainly no one called it would be so easy to access.

Thanks for capturing a point that I couldn't quite articulate myself as to why ChatGPT feels different - the ease of use.

Literally a year ago I was planning to take a python programming course for ML, thinking that a deep understanding of code would be needed to make things work well.

With GPT it's like...I just ask it things in English and it'll do it?

The ease of access to LMMs is groundbreaking the way the simplicity of IOS launched the modern smartphone era. Even babies could use an Iphone.

And now any child old enough to type sentences can use ChatGPT.
Actually yeah you're definitely right.

My perspective was for people who have other uses for them e.g. gaming or local inference.
From a pure finance standpoint you're definitely right - you should rent and not buy a dedicated card. I think you'd need a few thousand hours to break even which is a few months 24/7.
Can you provide an example? Because from my experience it's the exact opposite - GPT-4 can handle translation, especially when there are complex sentences and context that needs to be kept across sentences, way better than Google Translate currently can.
I know you’re joking, but given consumer indifference to mpg but laser focus on range, I wouldn’t be surprised if weight-reduction-at-all-costs took a front row seat for EVs.

Auto engineers work first for the marketing department. And range sells.

Few buyers run a “10 year TCO and then residual value” calculation.
The second is clearly the human, as ChatGPT will not be so daring as not to translate absolutely everything it can including "Revue de Fossiles".

The human writing flows better for the most part, although I like the second paragraph ChatGPT wrote, esp "presently we are a pair".

But in terms of being a functional translation, ChatGPT is fully adequate. I have used it a lot for this purpose, from many languages, and never found it to be less than accurate. You can also tweak the tone of voice and many other things with simple English requests. This puts it generations ahead of existing tools like Google Translate, and imho puts it into the class of technologies that are close enough to perfect that they will be hard to ever replace.
Show HN: Turn Any Image into QR
For what is self-labelled as an investigation, there's very little technical information. At the very least (in my limitedly qualified opinion) the main factor should be identified; were all the holsters in the reported incidents leather? The only acknowledgement of the topic is brief.

> as it might be in a warped holster or when a finger or object inadvertently brushes the trigger from its side.

> He added that accidental discharges can be caused by improper ammunition, worn holsters or foreign objects working their ways into the trigger guards.

If this occurred also with plastic holsters, then I'd be concerned. But, unsurprisingly, WP decided to not provide this basic information.

If they're all leather, yes. The holster is a critical part of the weapon system. If you're using a leather holster it has a far more limited lifespan than, say, a leather wallet. RTFM.
Demo meetings that matter, now that's an anti-pattern if I've ever heard one. Only UI work makes for a snazzy demo, anything else will bore stakeholders to tears (and you of course need stakeholders if the meeting matters). The backend can be completely mocked out and stakeholders wouldn't even realize. All demos do is bely progress and make milestones seem closer or farther away than reality. The only "demo" that matters is the actual product launch.

I’m not so sure about that timing. During the previous wave (ChatBots were very hot in 2017), I’ve also considered that consciousness is pretty much solved - it’s just recursive chatter plus a bit of memory.

Yet the hype of ChatBots of 2017 had went and it took half a decade to get to something released.
Tasks within Transactions using RabbitMQ

A bic pen isn't a bad pen, it is stunningly successful type of pen.

There are meaningful differences between how it feels to write with a fountain pen or other type of nice pen vs a bic but there is no reason you might not just prefer how a bic writes.

I like the relaxed, but controlled feeling of a fountain pen. Writing with bic like pens my whole life I got into the habit of gripping the pen hard and pressing down hard and it made me hate writing.
I would agree, but by default powershell start and interactions are so slow (a boring unacceptable slowness!), that I prefer to use windows command or tcl wish for every day usages.
You can try phrasing the question in a way that it wouldn't be phrased but would still demonstrate understanding of concept.

I remember Yann LeCun gave an interview and he came up with some random question like "If I'm holding a peace of paper with both of my hands above the desk and I release one what would happen". His point was that since the LLM doesn't have a world model it wouldn't be able to answer these trivial intuitive questions unless it saw something similar in the training set. And then the interviewer tried it and it failed. That was 3.5. I've tried many variation of that class of problem with 4 and it seems to generalize basic physics concepts quite well. So maybe 4 learned basic physics ? Why couldn't it learn QM theory as well ?

You can already use WASM modules within Edge Functions. We have an example on using WASM modules to generate OpenGraph images - https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/examples/ed...

We are also exploring ways to create functions in WASM-supported languages and run them directly on Edge Runtime. We expect this would be easier WasmGC[0] is shipped and Deno's WASI support improves.

Have you actually used GPT-4 for translation? Seriously all this talk about only getting explicit meaning across would be easily dispelled in an afternoon if you only bothered to try.

At the "textbook"/"theory" level, the person you are replying to is not wrong. A sawtooth waveform has infinite harmonics. If you were going to be nitpicky (which your response was in that spirit), the best thing to have said (IMO) was that the high frequency harmonics are going to drop off and be below any sort of "noise floor" or sensitivity of the system and not matter anyways. Instead you wrote a bunch of stuff about sounds and pressure waves that I don't think had the effect you intended. I think you lost the plot somewhere along the way.
I don't think I would trust any system that focuses purely on modelling the real world.

My comments are based on experience working on projects where some designers (who went to art school) heard Steve Jobs say "design is how it works, not how it looks" and then decided that they own the "how it works" part. The result, from what I have seen, is disastrous.

Functional design (how it works) and visual design (how it looks) is really two different job functions. You don't need an art degree or even be good in art in order to design the functionalities or even interactions of a product. At the same time, being good in art and designing cool looking UI doesn't make you qualified to design the functionalities or interactions of the product. Not even close.

Both job functions are needed to build a good product. In rare cases one person may be able to do both.
