I’ve been at FB for many years and ~1 year ago moved somewhere where we use a mix of Slack/Google docs/confluence.

Perhaps it’s just because I got used to it, but I do miss Workplace a lot - mostly for allowing me to easily stay on top of what’s interesting to me.

* Workplace made it really easy to be on top of what’s happening in the company, and in what it thinks you’ll be interested in. The algorithmic feed was super helpful.

* I was able to follow along with what’s happening overall in the company and all the interesting to me info just with a few minutes at beginning of each day scrolling my Workplace feed. Now, with Slack / gdocs / emails, I would need to read all updates in hundreds of different Slack channels and figure out myself what’s relevant.

* Google Docs - super hard to find anything, or even know if it exists since everyone applies restrictive sharing options. With Workplace, I would write a post in the relevant group - easily searchable by everyone (and discoverable by being ranked on Workplace).

That's a very apt description of where Prolog stands. The niche I see it fit in is as a teaching tool for first-order-logic in computer science (not necessarily math). At least that's how I learned it and I'm glad I did.
What you describe sounds like the difference between Relational Algebra (steps) and Relational Calculus (no steps), as formulated by E. F. Codd. He called the algebra "procedural", for that reason, and by that definition functional programming languages would also be called procedural. SQL is a bit of both, but more to the calculus/non-procedural side. Prolog is trying to be both (you can think in steps when you want to, but mostly you shouldn't have to). Answer Set Programming has no notion of steps or ordering at all.
They don't need a lot of conversions. If 2% of users take them up on the ad, that's an increase in revenue and profit. If it pisses off 40% of users, that's not a problem, because only 0.001% of users are going to get so angry that they'll stop using Windows (and those users probably paid for a license anyway as part of the computer purchase, so it won't affect MS's revenues).
What an incredibly corrupt system. The state should not be letting people change where they pay tax and it absolutely should not be giving people tax back.
So are the taxes capped also? Didn’t think so.

"Data leakage occurs when data from outside of the training dataset is explicitly or implicitly used to train a model, and it can result in the incorrect estimation of the trained model’s performance"

Data leakage is I think when data IN the training dataset regardless how they ended up there contained information which were part of the output and will not be available at inference time, thus enhancing the model's performance.

Example: Estimating crop yield earnings in $ from sat photos and getting a historical dataset that included crop type. Crop type should be unavailable at inference time so it should also be detected from the sat photo although it is not the target variable.

Whether it is externally or internally provided does not capture the essence of the problem.

Perception of stability.

Which until recently, was relatively unshaken.

As an employer, MS also has tended to be much more understanding of personal circumstances and the likes - I know people there who took long career breaks, or had mental issues/breakdowns (sometimes quite public) that would elsewhere have been a resume generating event.

Locally Apple are also regarded as an extremely stable employer, especially at the lower levels (support, etc).

I've friends working fucking customer support jobs at apple because its stable and comfortable, when they could be making twice as much elsewhere given their skills.

I considered taking such a job a couple of years ago, after becoming thoroughly burned out of consulting/contracting and wanting some stability.

Funny thing about Apple though is the IP clauses in their contracts.

Even the guys working phone support for customers have to go through a whole paperwork process if they want to publish code they wrote in their own time online, just to ensure there's no Apple IP in it.
Agreed! Reddit runs on the good will of it's very few good users.

In the UK the relevant document is CIRD81900[0] which sets out what conditions must be satisfied to qualify for R&D tax relief. It's lengthy, but worth the read.

The reason tooling in on Python is slow is because the language implementation is slow. We get that you love the language but it does not change that the execution is objectively poorly done.
They were supporting Russia economically by purchasing energy (gas mainly) from them. They basically had the crazy idea that economically intertwining themselves with Russia and making themselves dependent on Russia would magically turn Russia into a modern, democratic European nation, basically "if we bring them into our club, they'll come around to our way of thinking". It didn't work, just like economically integrating with China hasn't turned China into a western-like nation either, it's only enabled the authoritarians.

> In countries with state controlled healthcare, service is rationed.

Americans really love eating up this meme.
I can get scans any time in Japan and I never wait. If doctors think it’s an emergency, they’ll do whatever scan is necessary then and there. If not, they’ll pull out a calendar and ask me to pick any day that’s convenient for me.

Meanwhile my friends in the US are waiting months for basic shit. My dad visited me in Japan in December and had to visit a dentist for emergency care and was offered to do surgery on the spot. He decided to delay it until he returned to the US. The earliest available appointment in his area is next month.

It’s insanity seeing Americans parrot this stuff. It’s North Korea-level propaganda. Hell, it’s worse. North Koreans have no access to the outside world so you can’t blame them. Americans just actively turn away anything in favor of “well a guy who knows a guy said he saw a guy on tv who heard about a guy who once heard a story about a guy from a guy in another country said those people wait a long time for health care!”

But the strangest thing is countless Americans, including myself, will pop into any thread to talk about how they have endless bad experiences with health care in the US (I’ve been forced to wait forever and then still charged out the ass because my health insurance was randomly rejected), while most bad experiences with other countries is seventh hand info. Americans complaining about health care in countries they’ve never been to far outnumbers people with first hand info—usually the ones with firsthand info are saying “it’s pretty good out there”

Sadly I dont think this can happen. There is a load of trash answers on SO, and you bet ChatGPT is trained on that.

So you get not only the good of SO, you also get the worst of SO, and theres no way to tell.

Just a downgrade for me, plus for most things I do you are better of reading the source code or the documentation (however lackluster) than fumbling with chatgpt and getting an answer that may or may not be right.

I might as well ask someone else who doesnt know any programming to search for the answer for me - they wont be able to tell a trustworthy answer from another one.

There are so many SO answers (esp. on C++) which look good, but one of the comments points out some edge case in which it breaks.

Remember, not everyone does copy paste programming, some of us have to sit there and think of a solution and work it out over hours, because its not been done before publically

But make no mistake, the secret sauce in Google Search is by no means open, and possibly not even comprehensible to a single human at this point.

How does egglog compare to bddbddb, a Datalog engine powered by BDDs?

They use BDDs in Datalog to solve previously unsolved problems like context-sensitive pointer analysis for large programs and show that analyses implemented with it are faster than hand-tuned implementations and use dramatically fewer lines of code.

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback and great questions!

You can find details of our ISO and other certifications on our compliance page: https://kinde.com/docs/important-information/compliance-cert... we're also happy to provide a copy of the certificate if you reach out to support@kinde.com.

In terms of pricing, 10k M2M tokens are included on our $25/month plan (as well as many other features) so no need to spend $250 :) We feel this is a fair value exchange for everything being offered on the plan. Of course, there is always the roll-your-own option and great open source solutions like Hydra and that's awesome too for people that are confident going down that path - but it's not for everyone.

The great thing we have found about going the OAuth2 route is that you are free to use Kinde with any library that supports OAuth2. We also have SAML available as an auth option.

There is no denying there are a number of great players in the auth space but this is really only the start for us. We’re an experienced team aiming to help create a world with more founders by bringing together the fundamentals of product development. The fact that we’re small means we’re able to move quickly. We’ve just shipped v1 of feature flags and have more exciting offerings to come!

What does a downvote indicate? I have never understood.

Does it mean:

1. I don’t agree with you

2. Your post is spam

3. I don’t like you

4. You’re factually wrong

5. Your content made me upset or sad

6. This doesn’t contribute anything

All of these things are better served as a reply or not vote at all.

Karma doesn’t really give you much. When you see a post you’ve made get -n votes, what are you to think? Are you to change in some way?

Some different implementations of voting that I would like to see tested are:

1. upvote only. Let the bad stuff filter to the bottom.

2. gas. Assign a cost to upvoting or downvoting. Especially with downvoting and flagging. Require the user to really think about what they want to downvote. For example this cost might be: a point system of which you get limited number of points per time period, or more interestingly you loose an upvote for every downvote.

3. Back off times. One cannot mass cast votes.

4. Votes are public.

5. Downvoted require a comment.

I always liked the idea of PC Engines small fanless computers/motherboards ... but one thing always bothered me - they were really pricey.

On the other hand - there are other multiple choices that serve similar role as PC Engines.

For example I recently switched to Dell Wyse 3030 LT boxes which are very cheap (20-30$ for used one) and they draw very little amount of power (3.8-4.2W measured with physical watt-o-meter).

> That to me seems to be quite a badly written law.

It's pretty normal for a law to not be specific on the technicalities so they don't have to update the law whenever the software changes. The de facto standard to prevent bots from scraping your sites has been robots.txt for almost 30 years.

If artists didn't mind Google scraping their images, putting them on their site, adding ads and making billions, I really don't see them having much of a justification to call out StableDiffusion for "stealing" their stuff. In general artists would be in a lot of trouble if taking stuff from the Internet would be outlawed, as that's where they get all their reference images from too.

Either way, I am sure we'll see quite a few lawsuits going forward, laws are always open to interpretation, especially when new technology archives. But long term I really see copyright in general being in a lot of trouble, since derivatives and remixes are becoming completely trivial with AI. Where does the original work stop and the copyright violation starts is being rather difficult to decide when you can just wander around latent space and create literally thousands of similar images in minutes, with as much or as little variation as you want.
This is one of my general complaints about modern capitalism; a conglomerate will close a mattress factory because their shoe line had a bad quarter.

Investors should be diversified; firms should be specialized.
> Brennan provided an example: customers will be able to build a chip with licensed Xeon cores and match them up with an AI accelerator that's based on the RISC-V specification or Arm IP. Intel has also created what it calls a chiplet chassis, in which dies of x86, Arm and RISC-V cores can be put together and packaged to form a coherent chip.

Thats the meat of it

> Hence, your daughter being or becoming an incredible artist would have no meaning, except perhaps for herself enjoying the process of creating art.

This is the most meaningful reason for creating art. In fact, I'd argue human expression is the defining element of art (AI output not being art in that sense of the word), and economic motivations just pervert it.
A lot of those examples have a Shutterstock watermark. I doubt that Shutterstock allows the use of unlicensed videos for this use case.

You're conflating the "code" of an LLM which is just basic calculus with the vast data, fine tuning, human confirmation and filtering that make these things work.

You're also conflating the downloading and fine tuning of pretrained models with the creation of foundational models.

And they'll just infiltrate your open source project, in the name of preventing petty "harassment" of developers. That way they will allow weaknesses in the protocol to arise, due to attrition of the best developers. And there you go, everything has been handed over to intelligence agencies, who can now easily break its security.

I get Lugosi is the OG but he's not the best.
Greetings everyone on Hacker News! Today, I want to share with you my GitHub repository, which contains heuristics rules from Robert Martin's "Clean Code" book. The idea of creating this repository came to me while reading the book when I realized that I would like to have all these rules at my fingertips in a convenient format.

If you work in programming, you are familiar with this book. It is a valuable source of information and advice on how to write understandable and clean code. In my repository, I have collected these rules in a wiki format in three languages - English, Russian, and Ukrainian, so that everyone can easily familiarize themselves with them and apply them in their work.

In addition, most of the rules are supported by code examples in C# and Java. These examples are named and numbered according to the corresponding rules they demonstrate. The code also contains comments that further illustrate the rules.

Moreover, it is very convenient to copy links to specific rules and share them with everyone. For example, if you want to share a link to the "Use Explanatory Variables" rule, you can copy the link and send it to your colleague.

I hope that my repository will be useful for everyone who wants to improve their programming skills and write cleaner and more understandable code. "Heuristics for Clean Code" will evolve and be supplemented with examples in other programming languages. I look forward to your feedback and suggestions and hope that you will find my repository useful.

> If they built the software in 1 year for 1,000,000, they would carry an asset of 1,000,000.

Isn't normal accounting principles usually that if a company pays $M salaries, then regardless of whether those salaries paid for an asset or not, they are an expense that's 100% deducted from the income when calculating taxes?

Are we saying that at a company with 2 desks where 1 is a marketing person or accountant and 1 is a software dev, their salaries would deduce differently from the company bottom line, because the software developer is said to create "assets"? Isn't the marketing of that asset likely to be build the value of it in the same way as the research and engineering does?
