Yeah Portland's government, especially in the relatively recent past, is far from inspiring. I'm at the outskirts of the metro area, so I don't have to live with their policy choices or pay their extra taxes, and I'm glad for it. I don't drive into downtown anymore now that we permanently closed the office there, and when I do drive down for some reason I'm shocked by how rough it has gotten in many places.

Washington isn't out of the question, but I'll probably end up going farther. Like Colorado, perhaps. Staying in this area until my mom passes (sadly that will be within the next year or so), and then we're bailing.

Since you mention regressive taxation -- I remember that a few years ago, I recall that Oregon was the least regressive state while Washington was the most (all states being regressive overall). I think the ranking changes a bit year-by-year so that may no longer be true. For a software developer, it's better to be in Washington. I'm pretty sure it was Tax Foundation that had that info. Right now they put the overall rate almost identical between Oregon and Washington, though that doesn't account for how it changes based on income.
> It does seem that even though anime is more popular than ever, there is not so many modern anime classics.

Isn't "modern anime classics" a bit of a oxymoron? Things generally don't become classics until a while after. Lots of examples of things not really being in the mind of the mainstream until it long died.
Welcome to the Internet. Should we ban users who try to make money from their skills?
A bit optimistic to say "sometimes" IMO
The primary reasons people visit Reddit are a) timely news that would not be present in a pretrained LLM and b) human discussions around said news.

No, Agents that can query current information do not fix these issues.
These heuristics for quality being discussed and alluded to, especially over time, suck far worse than just sticking to personal recommendations and keeping your tastes disconnected the internet. It is not perfect; culture on the internet is just bad these day across many dimensions and getting worse. Next I expect to see some try to equate profitable with quality.

SAST/DAST products cost truckloads of money, so that’s a possible direction. The linter is a tech demo in this case.
Humans don't just try to imitate text from some group of humans, like language models. But if we wanted to imitate the text of, say, 18th century novelists, then only those 18th century novels seem to matter. If we also started to imitate our own imitations of 18th century novels (synthetic data) the result would probably get worse, since our imitations are imperfect.
> The underlying question remains: how do the electrons "know" what the weights are? When a new charge carrier enters the maze, how does it "know" that "turning left" will be an easier trip than "turning right"? How do most of them end up taking the express lane?

Question: when you observe water flowing on a flat surface do you see the water droplets freely separating from each other all over the surface until it's kind of evenly distributed or do you find the droplets tend to kind of follow or stick to one another?

For example, imagine you have nice trickling stream of water and that stream comes near a droplet, does the droplet join the stream or does the stream miss the droplet?

Does the new "charge" in the maze join with an existing stream or is it starting with a neutral maze and has to find the exit again?

It doesn't need to know that it needs to turn left or right, it just needs to go with the lazier option which happens to be the less resistant one.
Understandable. When I say compete with I mostly mean "be distinct from", or at the very least "not the same as" rather than viewership numbers. Unless they are specifically rebooting something, as you mentioned.
Is this a joke that I'm missing? Top reddit posts are frequently trash filled with misinformation.
Good point. That was an excellent & super useful capability. I don't think Arrangodb has such a capability.
CDNs such as Cloudflare also do anycast routing which means you can hit the same IP in different places in the world and get a response from the nearest point-of-presence.
That isn’t the function of the SEC. They make sure issuers have complied with disclosure requirements so investors can make their own decisions. They make sure you get full and fair disclosure and that’s about it. They’re more like the FDA’s regulation of cosmetics (here are the rules, we’ll assume you’re following them and we’ll take action if/when we suspect you’re not) rather than the FDA’s regulation of pharmaceuticals (prove to us this works and is safe before you sell it).

This isn't "woke", this is just being an asshole.

The term "woke" is supposed to be related to awareness of racial injustice and inequality. Not one group exercising prejudice and bias and against another based on ethnicity. Furthermore, this term has become a label associated with loaded language employed by the conservative right to vilify opposition. It is a reflexive control word and propaganda device to used to focus hatred and resentment from conservatives towards any aspect of culture or ideology contrary to their interests, regardless of it actual relevance to racial injustice. So when you start calling assholes "woke", I am not sure if you are conflating the meaning of it because you are a victim of this propaganda or if you are intentionally using the term to foster resentment against others.

Either way, claiming that people "who are aware of racial injustice" direct hatred, resentment, and prejudice against others because of their race, age or gender is so blatantly contradictory that it is absurd.
This is what github did a while ago, no? I was paying for some enterprise-y features that they added to the free plan and then stopped billing me. I know there's lots of MS hate here, but this was pretty unique IME

the project required approvals from state, local, and federal entities—and getting those permits required surveys of over 40,000 acres of land for environmental impacts and 60,000 acres of land for cultural impacts.

The environmental impact reports are probably the worse part of the red tape against green energy projects, especially nuclear, because anyone can sue to stop everything based on those reports. Lawyers can also get paid by the government for suing under the guise of environmental justice.

Before the U.S will ever wean itself off of fossil fuels it will have to contend with the unintended consequences of environmental karens.

As if this behavior isn't already rampant.
It's not a big deal because this change affects very few companies outside of Silicon Valley and it only affects companies at the start of the R&D process.

After 5 years, the tax impact evens out to be the same as currently expensing R&D salaries.

And generally, software companies have gotten the benefit of the R&D credit even for things would not have qualified for the R&D credit if it had not involved software, so this change was merely seen as correcting a tax loophole that the software industry has been exploiting (and arguably abusing) for several decades.
1. Some form of "moat". Do you have expertise, whether as a user or product? Some claim they can "execute" but the average assistant manager at a gas station can execute too. Pitching takes an hour to learn, and only requires time & practice to master. But there are some who can execute and pitch extraordinarily well, and that's valuable.

2. Willingness to put in the work. Vast majority seek passive income, and are dead weight after launching.

3. A conscience. No cults. No lying to investors. None of this "fake it before you make it" crap. Negotiation is fine, but not to the point of demoralising your partners and employees.

4. Humility. I was pretty eager to work with one guy, until he argued that my tech stack was stupid because we'd have to pay licensing fees to Oracle if we used JavaScript.

5. Trust. Many have done a fairly successful business before, and bring in cultures that really don't work with tech talent. If you're negotiating sick days and expecting people to be in office for a fixed period, everyone will leave. One guy hired a supervisor whose role is to watch the devs code.

6. Sales skill. Not just getting leads. Not just running ads. Just being able to close a deal, take money, repeat the process, get feedback, and hire someone to repeat that.
> not so many modern anime classics.

At most only because there's so much more out there.

The general consensus is that Oshi no Ko is as good as any classic (and is by the same author as the already classic Kaguya-sama) and that only aired one episode a week ago so far. A new season of Demon Slayer started ten days ago and that's the manga with the most per-volume sales ever, surpassing even Dragon Ball. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm talking about things that happened within the past two weeks alone.
My experience has been the complete opposite. When I was in Uni I was required to take an assembly language course and was told it was foundational but I'd never use it in industry.

Straight out of Uni in 2001, I became an operating systems programmer bringing up a new platform and pretty much immediately started debugging C++ code almost exclusively in an asm debugger (it's what we had for an OS level debugger). I also started implementing capabilities provided by a hypervisor directly available via asm instruction because there wasn't a C construct for doing so).

After that I became a toolchain programmer (working mostly on new system libraries) and would write in C and Assembly language and debug mostly in Assembly language because, when you're working on system libraries and the toolchain for a new platform, you can't always trust the compiler, and the compiler can't always generate optimal code (or any code) based on the new instruction set. Oh, and you can't always trust the debugger either if it doesn't understand the instruction set.

While there I would work on 9 new platform bringups and would often need to stub in assembly language routines for capabilities that were in the architecture but not yet available in the toolchain. Other times, new system call routines, locking intrinsics, unwinders, exception handlers, and some optimized routines would require implementation in asm as well.

If you're only working on the non-platform part of an operating system, you might not need to learn assembly language, but if you touch platform code you will likely need to know it.
I’ve not read all the comments but I’d note that this issue becomes less serious every year as you build a pipeline of amortization. Assuming 1mm stays the same YoY in 5 years you’re paying no taxes again. Each year taxable income reduce by a further $200k until year 5. That provides no relief now but even without action it resolves eventually - except for new firms.
> 1) Most code, i.e. at least 80% of the code in a codebase, will never be a performance hotspot and does not need specific optimizations (i.e. as long as the code does not do stupidly inefficient things, it's probably good enough).

That's true, however, I've seen enough code where the author used this argument as a justification to do stupidly inefficient things, such as building monstrous mountains of abstraction layers (or re-scan the entire codebase at runtime because why not? [1]) all covered by the "premature optimization is the root of all evil" mantra.

You can absolutely write code that is both opaque and inefficient.

Something is getting lost translation here. You can capitalize certain projects of that meet a certain threshold. I can't capitalize something as trivial as changing some colors. The capitalization is based on the expected lifespan of deliverable. Web pages is like 2 years. Bug fixes/maintenance, and project management are not capitalizable and its common to use 80/20. Public companies want to capitalize everything to improve earnings and kick up their stock price but they are kept in check by auditors.

How is this going to change?
I like the idea. I guess you could do something with pubsub to simulate this model. A regular http stack (load balancer and reverse proxies in front of some http framework) would probably need major modifications to work.

It would be great if such a mechanism was part of the http standard, so you could easily connect compliant tools.
First it was Apple who fucked up the butterfly keyboard and out of spite I just said "no thanks" and bought a HP laptop with a beefy GPU instead. Never looked back, until now.

I'm using Windows on the said laptop and just in the last couple of months they have started adding more and more "interactive" horseshit that is simply meant to peddle their Edge browser and Bing search engine.

I mean, did you know that Microsoft Teams can hijack your Dev Console and interpret a HEX color code as a phone number? It literally hijacks the console and interrupts you from doing any kind of debugging.

My next purchase is 100% going to be Apple again since I've heard great things about the new chips and keyboard issues seem to be solved also. Microsoft is just doing dumb stuff right now, like really dumb and anti-user. Needless say, they have no shame to do this towards their paying customers, too.

Money is a fantastic motivator, as evidence by how quickly flaws in systems are gamed in order to attain it.

Cool, so is that deal available to all?

Imagine as a non-billionaire/famous asking for such terms at purchase.

Ffs I was paying cash for a new car and they said they wanted to run my credit.. I said FU and had to threaten to leave if they wanted the sale, why run credit on a cash purchase?

But I don't expect that most dealers will give you a jobs-like deal? Or is this normal?
I'd agree - there's a reason that the protagonists in these are almost always unemployed shutins or people that are half-dead from overwork even before they have their unfortunate encounter with a truck.

Either you can't find work, or it's a soul crushing march towards death while performing meaningless work to make someone else rich while receiving no appreciation for it.

Japan has been facing a lot of these issues for longer than a lot of the rest of the developed world, but it increasingly seems like they were just a bit ahead of the curve in it happening.
> Is that human life?

Are you planning on aborting it? Like, so that it could be a relevant example?

In law, it isn't necessary to be able to determine if that is a human life to be able to determine that the fetuses that are commonly aborted are human life.

Argument by corner cases just isn't very strong, unless those corner cases actually shed light on the problem at hand.

> Does it have the same moral status as a zygote/embryo/foetus/baby?

Books could be written on the immorality of the HL cell line. They have, I believe. An exhaustive listing of each sort of immorality/amorality likely exceeds the maximum post size on this forum.

> I think your approach to this issue is completely wrong.

If you did think it wrong, you'd have chuckled and not bothered to answer. Maybe you'd have reported it or something like that for being stupid gibberish.

What you actually think is that my approach is alarming. You know what you want the conclusion to be, and anything that leads to another conclusion and isn't immediately and obviously stupid... that's potentially dangerous.

> Science can’t (in itself) answer moral questions. I

The moral question has been answered for a long time. Even if we just want to do recent history, it's been settled since Nuremberg.

Don't kill humans. Don't murder humans.

But, murderers like to make excuses. "That one over there isn't human!"

Science is very good at answering taxonomic classification questions though. And, not so surprisingly, every time someone claims "that one isn't human", it turns out it actually was.

> I know people on all sides of the abortion debate like to claim that science is on their side,

No, sometime decades ago, the left (Democrats, whatever) staked it as their territory. And either the right didn't want to stake a counterclaim to it, or thought it a losing proposition and never tried.

If you have some evidence that both do, I'd be curious to see it. Certainly there can't be alot, I'd estimate it has to be at least a 100:1 ratio (for me to personally not notice). Wouldn't ask just to dispute it, keep in mind. Truly curious on this count.

This is not how LLMs work at all. Once your chat session ends that's it. Updating the weights is expensive (although it's done semi regularly). And in updating weights the training datasets' quality becomes an issue.

Folks are drastically underestimating the "grey goo" problem when it comes to training data. Now that AI generated content is so cheap to generate, the quality of training datasets is going to plummet.
actually procuring cards not hard. i bought a bunch of times in the past compex cards with atheros chipsets from https://www.shop.compex.com.sg/products and it's alter ego https://www.524wifi.com/ .
But I eventually gave up on going this route due to reasons that you described. Also it was turned out to be much more expensive to DIY compared to buying wifi ap and flashing it with openwrt.

So now I run as router/everything x86 with a bunch of 10g/sfp ports and a couple of r7800 flashed with openwrt as purely AP
A few weeks ago I got fed up with Windows 11. I remember I had to unplug my machine from the internet while installing Windows 10, and in a weak moment I must have accepted upgrading to Windows 11.

It was probably bound to happen, because the question kept popping up all innocent looking: "Hey, want to install a security update... and while you're at it, Windows 11?"

Well, back to me being fed up. I've installed Linux (Ubuntu, since it turns out DisplayLink drivers suck on anything else), and I'm quite happy with it. It works and it doesn't brother me too much. I don't see any reason to install Windows again.

Io, a Programming Language
The expire() function should be made to work without a setTimeout. This makes it possible for the kvjs() instance to be garbage collected automatically when there is no more reference to it.

I recommend to use window.requestIdleCallback() directly after each read/write and the try to clean up old values, otherwise leave them there. That will also ensure that the cleanup never happens while the event loop is in a hot path.
You don't provide references to what you're talking about and then you get upset when someone else provides a source with an explanation you don't like?
Yeah, nothing to see here, move along...
Creatives in NYC for Coffee

Born, raised and living in Europe, it seems to me to be a myth of days long gone. I love the idea in theory. But I just don’t see it playing out in real life. They do play a role. But I do see similar, if not better, scenarios happening in different settings.

Another cafe wouldn’t have that famous person though. Which is fine. Just saying that many real life interactions ain’t deep 1-on-1 conversations.

The article shows everything that works for this approach. But it's a bit disingenuous. At the end:

> Once this is working, Xu Hao can repeat the process for the rest of the tasks in the master plan.

No, he can't. After that much back and forth and getting it to fix little things where it gives responses with the full code listing again, he would have easily hit the token limit (at least with any chat LLM capable of this quality code and conversation - ChatGPT). The LLM will start hallucinating the task list, the names of functions it wrote earlier etc. and the responses would get less and less useful with more and more "this doesn't work, can you fix X".

So anyone following this approach will hit a footgun after task 1.

For anyone that really wants to follow this approach, the next step is to start a new chat and copy/paste the inital requirement prompt, put the task list in there, any relevant code, adjust the instruction (ie "help me with task 2") and go from there.

It is of limited utility though. By step 3 (or even 2) you end up with so much code that you're at the token limit anyway and it can't write code that fits together.

Where I've found ChatGPT 4 useful is getting me going on something, providing boilerplate, and unblocking me.

If you don't know how to approach a problem like the "awareness layer" (like I didn't before reading the post), you can get a great breakdown and starting point from ChatGPT. Similarly, if you're not sure how to approach that view model, or write tests etc. And if you want a first draft of code or tests.

All that said, I'm looking forward to much larger and affordable token limits in future.
