Right, but did they cut off paychecks too?

Being walked out of the office is equivalent to having your access removed like I said above. It doesn't mean the person is fired, it just means they don't have access to sensitive information.

In practice, it's not really a big deal. If someone is going from a high-paid FAANG job to another high-paid FAANG job, the new company is usually eager to have you onboard. They can move your start date up. New compensation might be higher, too, so it's a net win.
Well, that was their initial idea, but I think they figured out a few years ago that it wasn't going to happen in time, and tried to find a different way. In theory, software cost scales less than linearly with customer count, so increasing in scale would reduce it as a % of revenue.

Although, maybe not if all your money goes to AWS anyway...
So you are saying they are invited as long as they are willing to endure people trying to change them?
I've never heard of that. They have many very reputable journals in neuroscience. I don't like the company, but many of the journals are solid.
Easy to say one is wrong. I would not argue, but the fact is fact. For car, as long as your vision in 20/40 in each eye, & 20/70 in both, at least, no physical disabilities for car controls, no seizure or medical issues, no law enforcement referrals, you don't need to do freeway drive. Any Yes to any of the above things will warrant a Special Driving Performance Evaluation, and that most probably includes freeway 99% of the time (assuming there's a freeway access), plus some other things.

And for the record, no, no part of the driving test is dangerous for the examiner any more than for anybody sitting as a passenger. Routes are carefully designed to cover as much & as little as law requires, conditions allow, and much more.

I recon LLMs can learn "temporal facts" pretty well, if you just give them the date information for any document they are reading / training on.

If you just give them 50 years of news articles in a random order, sure they are going to be confused.

The problem is that you and the other hundreds of senior engineers would perform the same if it were all design and the other example you gave. There's just not a good solution for companies that must evaluate the number of candidates these big companies get daily.
> and it always responds with a causal representation.

It responds with a language representation. It uses "causal" words because that's how the English language works: we have tenses.

> I think a secondary module explicitly for reasoning will come around soon.

This has been an unsolved, actively-researched problem for ages – certainly since before you were born. I doubt very much that a solution will "come around soon"; and even if it does, integrating the solution into a GPT-based system would be a second unsolved problem – though probably a much easier (and more pointless) one. If you have any ideas, I invite you to pursue them, after a quick literature search.

Leetcode is also just an awful signal. It would be fine if it was only problems with false negatives, but the false positive rate is through the roof.

I'm consistently shocked by coworkers I've had, who I knew had to pass challenging leetcode interviews, who seem to not only know nothing about building real world software, but don't really have a firm grasp on algorithms.

Yes they can process a leetcode question requiring dynamic programming in record time, but when mapping a real world problem to a dp (or any other similar solution) are completely at a loss.
Are you using ChatGPT Pro?

Whenever I hear people criticizing ChatGPT because of hallucinations, I have to ask, because it feels like they've solved 90% of that problem with GPT4.
Then you're left with two scenarios:

1. Users themselves have to see the stuff to filter it. This kind of work has burned out scores of classifiers. There's some really, really horrible stuff out there

2. The job will be left to people to make content filters. And those people would need to look at the stuff to filter it. And face legal consequence to doing so. And probably not get much compensation

Who or what group would fill #2? It would either be a group that sought to profit from it, or a group funded by governments, or a group that wanted to be at the node point for the spread of such material, or a group that wanted to influence society (e.g. for spam, or a foreign government seeking to mess with a society, etc)

It is hard to fathom the sheer volume of horrible content our filters deal with unless you've done any sort of moderation. And usually if you're doing moderation you're well downstream of the worst bits.
That's objectively true because it's an absolute. Most advanced nations are pretty much car-dependent, however.
Side loading is already possible. Yes, you can only do it for a few days at a time, but that's why there's an easy tool that will refresh the application for you.

I haven't heart of social engineering involving https://github.com/altstoreio/AltStore but maybe you know something I don't. Either way, installing apps onto iOS devices over the network exists today.
By then people who need fuel will know to special order it. Because if you are the only one selling gas that means someone lives in a less dense area that can't get fuel at all. Either that or you have competition, they are just not across the street and so you have to keep prices low enough people won't drive the extra miles to your competition.
The top-down nature of the US government means a literal act of Congress is required for meaningful change. Executive leadership has some sway, but they cannot change the core mission or the budget that congress has allocated for the mission. This indomitable monolith is why a repeatable process for innovation does not exist in government agencies. Such a process would fundamentally change how the government works, which could be great, but would definitely require new laws.
That was my first thought: write software to find each pixel and put it in an array based on its color value. Then find the 32 densest clusters in the array (i.e. the 32 most frequently used colors), determine the average color value of each of those clusters, and that's your palette.

Then run through each pixel again, and set it to the closest matching value from your palette. Done!
Any physical object is comprised of electrons, among other things, meaning it interacts with quantum mechanics on some level. That does not mean quantum mechanics are fundamental to the abstracted idea of how the human brain works.

People are so fond of the idea of saying consciousness and quantum mechanics are both weird so they must be the same thing.
No. Its just that we are all very very busy doing science.
I started taking Uber Black or Lyft Black because of this, better have a completely silent trip than a driver that's constantly complaining and making the passenger the bad guy
I get what you're saying, but it could just be a way for a new employer to say "we have a policy of treating people fairly. We know that some new hires are going to lose out on bonuses depending when they join, so we have a policy of compensating these new hires for this loss".

I wouldn't want to start off with a new employer by negotiating for a bonus buyout and then staying long enough to get my original bonus (and expecting the buyout anyway). I would be interested to know if anyone has done this successfully. If I thought I had the upper hand in negotiations, I'd just ask for more pay, or a signing bonus independent of my foregone bonus.
It's only 3 months if you've worked for over 10 years at the same place (or you have a different contractual agreement of course). Otherwise it's a week during the probation period (usually 3 to 6 months), 1 month the first year and 2 months between 2 and 10 years.

Also it's symmetrical. Switzerland is "at will" (in the sense that they can lay you off at any time for any reason), but they have to follow the same notice period. In essence this is mandatory minimum severance.
Yes, using CL+Hemlock as the init process is very doable. That's what makes it an intriguing prospect!

Lets assume you gave notice because you're moving to a new job. I have a hard time imagining a scenario where your new employer would be OK with a multi-month delay to your start.
I'm hoping the side-loaded apps are sandboxed. The facebooks of the world will cheat a bit harder to keep their apps running in the background, but at least I can control who gets access to files, contacts, and location.

And even for apps that I trust 100%, including stuff I personally write, there is exposure to zero days if you do stuff like display images or web content. I'd like the extra safety net of sandboxing.

The other issue is just because something doesn't need to be hidden today doesn't mean a change in the political/social winds could happen that requires you to hide it tomorrow.
Well, clothes are mostly down to weather and laws on public decency, and nudists are the counterpoint that prove some demographics would prefer to be naked if the law allowed it, same with tribes like Koma.

Locks are more for security than privacy, and it's important not to conflate the two. People can have nothing to hide, but also not want to be robbed.

And as for email, that's again a matter of security because then someone could impersonate you for one, and I can't name a service that allows you to omit having a password for your email account.

(I know, looking too deeply into it! Sorry.)
Russian air force is used mostly as a platform to launch such stand off missiles from afar - from Russian territory or sea.
It's so funny because a decade ago on this very website the rhetoric was the exact opposite in comments. People would bloviate many paragraphs about how disruptive Uber, etc. were and how they were going to revolutionize transportation. People around the world in mass would sell their cars and move into the city and just Uber everywhere etc etc. Uber would pioneer self driving cars and then robots would drive us everywhere and deliver us to a fully automated capitalism future. There was much hype about how only a company like Uber or Lyft could do this and that the old cab companies were complete dinosaurs that would be dead in a decade.

Anyone who dared to suggest that the new ride share companies were actually just cab companies feeding off a pump of VC funding were down voted and shouted down into oblivion. Turns out those people were exactly right though...
I read Hacker News through hckrnews.com and accomplish the same thing with a single line in my ad blocker browser extension (uBlock) filter list.

Here's an example of the filter:

hckrnews.com##.entry:has-text(/(orange|pineapple|kiwi)/i)

Or it could be written as multiple lines if that looks cleaner:

hckrnews.com##.entry:has-text(/orange/i)

hckrnews.com##.entry:has-text(/pineapple/i)

hckrnews.com##.entry:has-text(/kiwi/i)
I'm not aware of anything that is reliable and works directly on the browser that doesn't cost money to run.
I’m not sure if I ever believed that hogwash. I think it was a fantasy meant to try to justify ludicrous stock prices on unprofitable companies. After 14 years of serious investment, it’s not clear if self driving cars are ever going to become mainstream, and certainly not soon enough to keep Uber and Lyft afloat.

> No, they did the same for all languages.

are you negating "prohibited official use of minority languages" with "they did the same for all languages" as a means to show that the bill was even-headed?

> But what you're saying is fair because they should only have prohibited Russian since they are the people who genocided Ukrainians so they have no right to occupy Ukraine.

Right, the Russian language had to be prohibited because Russia would react to Ukraine's prohibiting the use of the Russian language for russian-speaking Ukrainians, presumably as a punitive measure for their alignment with Russia due to their geographical & cultural proximity and generational ties. And that's because Romanians living in Northern Bucovina couldn't care less about it..... My take is that you deserve a Nobel prize for being the most consistent person on Earth. Thanks for showing your stance clearly in the open.
It really depends on how one defines "nation" (which is kind of a modern and made-up concept).
Sure. I mean I have some questions about your proportions, but let that pass. We clearly agree that the amount of total code is proportional to the user-facing stuff. Which for Lyft seems to be quite stable. And since the main function of developers is to improve things, that makes me wonder.

I also suspect that with larger companies, a lot of that below-the-waterline code is not ultimately necessary, the kind of stuff that if they were running a tight ship wouldn't be there. I certainly get reports like that from friends, anyhow. But it sounds like that's ultimately not an engineering problem but a management problem.
> US person here who has participated in a lot of online advice/mentoring forums. I've never once seen a tech company immediately "fire" someone who says they're resigning like the parent comment claims.

I've seen it happen multiple times. Microsoft has a list of competitors that if you say you are going to work for them, your access to everything is immediately revoked.

Managers at MS ask their employees to NOT SAY where they are going, so a proper off-boarding can take place.
No, the funding body specifies that all work has to be published as open-access. So if you publish without open access, you are getting yourself into trouble with the funding bodies which is a bad idea.
In the 10-year timeframe it probably doesn't matter. Ev drivetrain's and batteries are going to drop well under what ICE drivetrain cost will be simply because there's just so many less components and announcements like this and the sodium ions stuff really leads out a path to that economic super advantage
> I get F5 to refresh the page when source code changes.

Really? That's surprising but so overkill. How does it know what files to poll and which not to, I assume file:// and localhost but more specific? Does it do it for a webpack/vite app which has its own hot reloading setup?
Have a look at this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6vfsYwXW6I.

The most misunderstood part about Islam is that how practical the religion is - Islam expects believers to give it their best shot, within reason and without being judged by some rigid binary rule.

It's perfectly okay to not fast for 22 hours and it's also okay if you can make it. Islam prioritizes health and well being.
Nature doesn't pursue progress. It fosters any (at least some) that might appear but it doesn't actively pursue it. If it did, there would be instinctual drive to seek out ionising radiation proportionally to the amount of offspring for particular species. To iterate as fast as possible and get any edge in selection.
You claim there is no evidence the vaccinations prevent infections or reduce transmission? That would mean the vaccines are completely ineffective.

You are getting your information from a bad source.

> restricting human rights was still not the right thing to do.

This is something worth debating, but if you refuse to concede the vaccines are useful then it isn't worth getting to that point in the debate.
ssshhhhh, it's not irrational superstition if it's been practiced for > 200 years. At that point it becomes quaint tradition. After 500 years, it's 'cultural practice'. Beyond that, unquestionable dogma.

Look on Android! There's Fortnite, that's a big app you need to sideload. It's also the only big app I know of.

I suppose some copycat apps send tons of notifications, but you can easily uninstall those. As far as I know, iOS sandboxing is better than Android's, so I don't think there's any greater risk.

You could upgrade the atari 400 to a 'real' keyboard, though not a great one. It would just replace the membrane keyboard.

EVs are not expected to have a constant growth curve. With the expected ban of ICE EV will be the majority in a few years, and by 2034 few ICEs will be sold.

I do expect ICEs will be just under 50% of total cars, you could argue they are more like 55% of all cars, but it won't be 75%.
My EV with cobalt in the batteries seemed practical to me.

And nothing wrong with having some lithium in their battery. The important thing is how much cheaper is it.
They're banning new ICE car sales in 2035: existing ones can continue to run. So the aim would be to mostly phase out ICE cars by something more like 2050-2060 (bearing in the mind the last generation of ICE cars will probably get a slightly extended lifetime to smooth the transition). That seems pretty realistic to me, perhaps with some exceptions for certain niche uses (which would probably be <5% of vehicles).
This is what the AI industry hand-waves away as "hallucinations". The first GPT authored book could be titled "Lying with Confidence".
Hmm, which version did you ask? GPT4 went immediately to LBJ, whom I assume you had in mind originally.

That is not an instance of passing a standardized academic test through "autocompletion" or "regurgitation." It's rudimentary synthetic thought.

If it had named a different president, I could have argued with it, which is what I find especially interesting.
"The only way they're replacing ICE vehicles is by making the EVs cheaper"

Even if electric cars would be cheaper, faster and longer running - some people would rather die, than give up their ICE cars and motorcycles.

The strong lobby in germany against banning aren't the poor, but the rich who want to drive their roaring Porsche till eternity. They literally say that.

I can somewhat understand the appeal of an loud engine, the feel of the road etc., but personally I will indeed celebrate the day, all those loud polluting machines are gone from the cities and one other bright day also from the mountains.

But I am not sure if I will see that day, as cars have allmost a religious meaning to quite some people, especially here in germany, but not only here. But yes, the bigger problem in the short run will be economics. Otherwise all the old cars just will get sold to africa and go on running there. But china is mass producing cheap electric cars for example, so things are scaling up.

Don't think that's the main reason the stock is down. Uber is barely down this past year but Lyft's stock has tanked like 70%.

Lyft screwed up by not getting into delivery and people normalized using Uber for rideshare plus delivery and stopped finding a reason to use Lyft.
Not just public records. Public officials should be on Medicare. Their retirement should be Social Security. Their staff should be subject to the same employment rules that apply to everyone else. And so on.

Nice effort. Being able to provide lots of reactions to posts seems like a very high demand capability of most messaging systems.

Pleroma & Akkoma are Elixer based.
Yep, and in this case, it's isomorphic to the question, "Why didn't Kevin De Leon(D) defeat DiFi in the 2018 election?" - question whose answers can range from, "not enough votes," to "less money," to "why did the CA coast prefer DiFi and CA's interior prefer KDL?"
Learn to walk before you run. As the article says, a self-contained environment capable of supporting multiple people, including their oxygen and food, while being able to contribute at least a little to their consumable use with local activity -- right here on Earth -- has never really been done.

Perhaps an underground base in Antarctica? With a nuclear reactor and some hydroponics? Experimental local concrete production? Such a base would be an enormous project, sure to cost billions, would rely on technologies not yet invented, and would still be heavily dependent on regular supply deliveries for many decades. And that's doing it here on Earth, where the nearest city would be a day's flight away and poking a hole in the wall accidentally isn't a major concern.
