The "As an AI language model" is a feature not a bug. There was a story on HN recently about this string showing up everywhere in Amazon reviews. If it makes spotting generated reviewers easier I'm all for it.

Yeah, same experience here. In Spain there is a character in child mythology (one of the Santa Claus analogues, who bring gifts from children) who is black. I remember that when I was a kid in the 80s, he used to be portrayed by a white man painted black, what Americans call "blackface", but for purely practical reasons: no one was black.

Perhaps in big cities there were some, I don't know, but in many places in the country you would live your life without ever seeing a black person outside of TV. Just as you say, we didn't have a past of slavery and at that point the country wasn't rich enough to be an immigration magnet, we did have some immigration from Morocco but Moroccans aren't black.

Now it's very different, of course, and we do have enough black people that that character can be portrayed more realistically :)
I had a boss order me to take down a whiteboard I set up in a common area so we couldn’t discuss code during work.
The second one you’re referring to is called “Apple Card” in the US; I’ve never heard anyone (or Apple) refer to it as “Apple Pay,” except in the sense when using Apple Pay with an Apple Card.

>Where's your actual counterargument then?

At least 10b RISC-V cores shipped just last year.

All of SiFive's designs offer better performance, power and area than ARM's equivalent offerings.

>ARM breaks down instructions into uops too.

Most large implementations do today, irrespective of ISA.

>Look at how ARM and x86 are very closely matched in efficiency in these studies, but MIPS (which is what RISC-V is quite similar to) is noticeably far behind

MIPS had poor code density. x86 and thumb2 had good code density. amd64 (x86-64) code density degraded relative to x86, due to adding new prefix for the 64bit instructions.

aarch64 degraded relative to thumb2, due to fixed instruction length. RISC-V has variable instruction length designed to avoid decoder complexity.

RISC-V already has the best code density among all 64bit ISAs. It has the best code density among all 32bit ISAs too, with the draft code size extensions.

Ascalon[0][1] expects performance competitive with Zen5, at lower power consumption. Both will be available in 2024.

Tenstorrent's is just one of the known very high performance targeting cores under development. Others include Ventana (first chip TBA late 2023), Rivos and MIPS.

RISC-V is inevitable.

>Pure RISC was never good.

The future of RISC-V has no limits.

You’re rude, which is why people aren’t responding.

Marc is a well respected engineer who has worked on multiple foundational services at AWS and probably doesn’t want to go on the record saying he’s sick of rust fans, so he made the essay nominally about photography.

This essay is saying, “Fuck rust. We used java to build S3, DynamoDB, ec2 and everything else the internet runs on. Kitheads, please stop joining aws and asking if you can rewrite in rust. Learn the fundamentals of distributed systems and apply them to customer problems, and the kit won’t matter.”
you should read Cameron & Quinn. It's about work culture. IF you have a very rule based culture, it could be completely wrong if you want to create and be adaptable. You will simply not have good relationships then and people will be miserable. That kind of culture is more suitable to work that is all about ensuring rules are followed, like a controlling organ. For software dev, it's poison.
Take the internship. But don't take it for the pay, take it for the connections.

I'm also from the south and almost everyone I grew up with is still in my hometown, and something that wasn't clear to me when I was your age was how important connections are.

Now I'm older, live on the west coast, and I realize connections rule everything around me. While things have turned out pretty well, a lot would have been even easier if I had made connections at your age.

To give you an idea of the value here: If my current startup failed, I could call any one of a dozen people and have a job tomorrow. This kind of safety net is among the most valuable things I "own".

In addition to connections to jobs, you will also develop a lot of connections to expertise. I know and can call up guys who work in hugely diverse fields, from hard drive manufacturing to formal proof verification.

If nurtured, connections also compound just like any other investment. Keep up with the people you meet. You'll get opportunities and meet more people through them. You'll also make some great friends.

Obviously, you don't want to view people purely for the value they can provide you. Good people will see through this anyway. One of the best ways to build really deep industry connections is to try to become the guy that people value as having as their connection. This is where developing yourself comes in to play.

Another tip:

You're probably pretty bright, probably brighter than many of your peers, but almost no amount of precociousness can make up for real industry experience where the rubber meets the road. Take whatever level of humility you currently have and triple it.
What's the source of the 100 million MAU number? I have seen it thrown around but haven't found something from OpenAI stating that.
I could not find any evidence of Amazon literally killing an employee in that article. What I did find was this:

> claims that Amazon failed to warn employees of dangerous weather or provide safe shelter before a tornado slammed the Edwardsville facility

Such behaviour certainly warrants a lawsuit, and I hope Amazon gets into deep trouble for that, but what killed that employee was a tornado.

Now the meaning of "kill" would probably include using force to have an employee being hit by that tornado, but the article doesn't seem to mention anything like that either. The details are left out, so what most likely happened is that the employee was threatened with being fired (explicitly, implied, or at a different time) if they don't continue to work, so they did, and then got hit by a tornado.

So to clear this up: Are we actually talking about a case of manslaughter happening at Amazon, or is this a weird way of pointing out their abysmal workplace safety?

>Apple and Google indisputably have a duopoly over mobile OS.

A duopoly is not a monopoly. Unfortunately, anti-trust law seems to only be concerned with monopolies, and totally ignores duopolies and oligopolies.

>The duopolists openly conspiring.

Exactly.

>Google indisputably has a monopoly over web search: ~93% market share. (I'll never understand why we've done nothing legally about this.)

This isn't quite a monopoly (Bing does exist, you know), plus it's free (or "free").

It doesn't help when the competition is so awful, though. See yesterday's article and discussion about DDG. Many times, monopolies (or near-monopolies, or duopolies) arise because the competition is so inept and incompetent.
Ah good point. On the west coast, I've been thwarted by class of building (and this is reasonable I guess).

On the east coast (New England), many cities and towns don't even make an exception for owner-occupied, detached SFH buildings. Thou absolutely shalt not.

My favorite permitting office experience was in another, shall we say lower-density, part of the country. I wanted to put a subpanel in the barn for a workshop. "Would I need a license for that?" The guy behind the desk asked me how big of a panel I wanted, what size and type of wire I was going to use, distance from the existing service, size of existing service.

He was satisfied with my answers and said "Nah. You're good. Give me a call if you want me to swing by and take a look when you're done, but it sounds like you're fine.". I was in and out of there in like three minutes.

GCC is first and foremost a compiler for GNU C, which is a set of unspecified extensions to C, which is a language that achieved near-universal adoption despite decades of competing mutually-incompatible implementations.

C++ templates are Turing-complete, and GCC implements them just fine.

The idea that Rust requires a formal specification (outside very rare situations, like aeronautic firmware) is silly.
You should try reading some of his non-fiction. This was written in 1944:

"I must say I believe, or fear, that taking the world as a whole these things are on the increase. Hitler, no doubt, will soon disappear, but only at the expense of strengthening (a) Stalin, (b) the Anglo-American millionaires and (c) all sorts of petty fuhrers of the type of de Gaulle. All the national movements everywhere, even those that originate in resistance to German domination, seem to take non-democratic forms, to group themselves round some superhuman fuhrer (Hitler, Stalin, Salazar, Franco, Gandhi, De Valera are all varying examples) and to adopt the theory that the end justifies the means. Everywhere the world movement seems to be in the direction of centralised economies which can be made to ‘work’ in an economic sense but which are not democratically organised and which tend to establish a caste system. With this go the horrors of emotional nationalism and a tendency to disbelieve in the existence of objective truth because all the facts have to fit in with the words and prophecies of some infallible fuhrer. Already history has in a sense ceased to exist, ie. there is no such thing as a history of our own times which could be universally accepted, and the exact sciences are endangered as soon as military necessity ceases to keep people up to the mark. Hitler can say that the Jews started the war, and if he survives that will become official history. He can’t say that two and two are five, because for the purposes of, say, ballistics they have to make four. But if the sort of world that I am afraid of arrives, a world of two or three great superstates which are unable to conquer one another, two and two could become five if the fuhrer wished it. That, so far as I can see, is the direction in which we are actually moving, though, of course, the process is reversible."
Fair enough - I’m 55 and describing the bulk on my career to date. Lately the culture of a couple companies I’ve been in have been much more welcoming to neurodivergent folks but this is post-COVID. I’m not planning to do in-person work in the near future; I already have long COVID and risk factors that make me want to make sure my family and I never get infected again.
People didn't like Cortana because it sucked as an assistant. ChatGPT is actually useful.

One small thing that I have done that I have found leads to at the very least more productive use of my spare digital time—and that is just setting up the Apple night-time DND feature. It doesn’t give you a very prominent notification, so I often find myself checking my phone far less because I don’t even see the notifications, and don’t even realize I’m in DND mode. You can also set up pass-through for trusted contacts or urgent calls, but I find it is a very easy measure to implement and I’ve seen it’s value in my own life.

You can also do similar things for work related notifications (ie. I had github and slack apps automatically muted after 5pm). I find that the approach of letting the notifications pile up and then checking at my leisure let’s me slowly start to forget about my phone except when it serves an actual purpose.
I agree, Readline is the reason they got so widespread. But note that except Bash, none of the shells and interpreters I listed actually use GNU Readline these days — and that Emacs and its keybindings predates Readline.

>It doesn't really matter,

Given their stagnant/declining stock price since IPO (covid tech bump aside) I would say it does matter in the single place it matters most to a public company. Potentially because to get that revenue and users they had to spend so much money that their net loss was 65% of their total revenue in 2019.

In the context of this thread, these all feel like straw man arguments.
It's not provocative, he says antifa once. It's meant as an example of a method of removing bias. He's saying you could train the AI entirely on an organizations strictly vetted and approved data, it could be antifa, the Catholic church or Coca Cola, it would still potentially say unhinged things even if you eliminate bias. Top many of these concepts are built into the language. Look at all the ways we use the word kill for a variety of topics, most being very benign, but it can be disturbing if the AI starts talking about killing things.
People need to think very seriously about the market structure of the digital world and creating genuine alternatives in the interest of a healthy, innovative and less risky society.

This is not a niche market and a cute little oligopoly. Tech touches, controls and even disrupts major parts of economy and social life and there is no visible counterbalance. E.g., in other recent news Apple was getting deeper into finance and banking.

Where exactly does the conglomeration stop?

Having let things reach such an advanced metastasized stage its not clear if there is a gentle way to turn things around. Which commercial entity would dare go against such a entrenched and systemically supported duopoly?

Taking the axe and creating by brute force less dominant pieces is the approach that was used in the past.

Another, maybe fanciful, idea is for governments to fund public goods that will undermine the commercial viability of certain business lines currently under the stranglehold of tech oligopolies.

As it stands, reinforcing the concept of TINA, there is no alternative, acts as a millstone around society and effectively robs us from the potential of technology.
It might be better in some ways, but I don't expect it to be perfect. The AI is likely going to have safety filters and not answer user questions even when they may be safe. Companies may also be incentivized to keep conversations short to keep their token count and therefore bills low. So users will likely not be able to have long conversations.

what a wonderful story.

Having a bird, I'm sort of amazed how people just don't understand just how complex and deep things can go.

I speak to other folks with birds and am amazed. I met one lady picking her cockatiel up at the vet and she told me it was so convenient that her bird can say yes and no. But she couldn't talk. So I asked how it worked. She said the bird could choose between two different color cards - one was for yes, the other was for no. Then she would answer questions "Do you want to go to bed?" "are you hungry?" I didn't know how the bird was taught, the lady said the previous owner had taught her, but this kind of stuff is common.

I'd definitely accept there is content that some 9-14yos wouldn't have the necessary mental or emotional development to deal well with, and that risks negatively impacting their mental health and turning them towards troublesome behaviour if their home environment is less than ideal. But we've been exposing kids to religious texts that are full of all sorts of horrific descriptions for centuries and it doesn't seem to have done so much harm as to justify removing such books from libraries completely. From what I've read the new books mostly seem rather innocuous - is there really reason to believe they're likely to stir up never- before-seen levels of angst or self-doubt among schoolkids? Or encourage dangerous experimentation with irreversible downsides?
That there may be some temporary negative side-effects I'd think is just a price all kids have to pay learning about the more complicated world of adulthood and sexual desires etc., and you can hardly hide that world from them forever.
$2,50/Wp seems very high! Dutch market is somewhere between 0.8-1.5€/Wp installed, and we’re not exactly a low wage country. (Small commercial can be as low as 0.65€/Wp, at around 250 panels)

I don't understand this. Many backup code lists do print with very limited or no information on the account they match. But what is the need for this cloak and dagger? A backup code is only one piece of the puzzle and can easily be stored securely, "secreted away" if you will.

If I don't label my backup codes with account information, how do I know which code to enter when recovering an account? Trial and error across 20-30 scraps of paper?
You can absolutely make a huge company from barely anything if you're not impeded by a monopoly. Both the examples you listed were companies going for a new, different market than IBM's.

I'm with you. Touch ID is great for people in perfect climates who don't do anything difficult in their life.

My entire motivation to upgrade from a touch ID phone to face ID is my main complaints with touch ID: 1 - it sucks with gloves, and I'm wearing gloves a lot either because it's cold or I'm riding a bike. I still get annoyed some gloves I can't tell it to "start" the unlock process but gross or not, my tongue does the job there to kick in face ID recognition. 2 - I am cooking and working off a recipe on my phone which (by the way I would love to be able to temporarily set "don't shut down mode") and I have to unlock it with messy hands to set the next step.
> For example chat history or email is important for the legal process. People need to prove conversations happened. I just send a whatsapp screenshot to my boss where my previous manager approved my day off. I could easily doctor such an image. We have the technology to grant someone access to part of a conversation in a legally binding way, technology just didn't mature enough, its to childish to do those things.

For whatsapp, they actually use the Signal protocol for messaging, which has built in deniability, so you can't use the cryptography it uses to prove a conversation happened, since any participant is able to falsify messages after the fact.
MS is still "the best" in this case. Searching for Firefox on a fresh Windows install (with Edge) will show Chrome and Opera as first two options (keyword ads), then Firefox. And then, when you download the Firefox installer, you are announced that it could harm your device.

The chip and pin terminals are now cheaper than the magstripe ones ever were (about $60) and are accessible to many more businesses, even those that don’t have multi year trading history with their bank. It’s absurd to say they could be used in many more places… I literally do not carry cash for the last 6 years or so. Prior to chip&pin many small restaurants and cafes could not get a magstripe terminal from their bank.

I’m curious what you mean by “worked better”? I haven’t used magstripe for a decade at least but can’t say I’m nostalgic for the experience.
Face ID is annoying but still better than card. Touch ID is best for payment.

> Yeah, same experience here. In Spain there is a character in child mythology (one of the Santa Claus analogues, who bring gifts from children) who is black.

I would assume a somewhat close analog, since Saint Nicholas (the name source, if only a small part of the overall inspiration, of the “Santa Claus” figure) is, in one major tradition of, I believe, Italian origin, typically depicted as very dark-skinned (probably originally as a sign of foreignness rather than literal racial blackness; as he was geographically from Asia Minor and apparently of Greek ethnicity.)
