You could blame him for not changing the culture, but Google has a long history of killing off new products that precedes 2015
Do you have any papers about this? How much better is it? How much waste heat is available that can't be used for something better?
His homebrewed OS takes the best from OpenVMS. Kudos!
Microsoft didn't support ext because too few people were using it to justify the effort, yet somehow they went to great lengths and implemented the whole WSL, and... ~twice at that - for a possibly smaller user base?
Do you have any durable evidence to back up those anecdotes?
But don’t you have to live in the Bay Area? Or does Google pay those L5 salaries for remote? Because $365k is more like $179-$200k where I live. And you have to work 12 months of the year, no?
I use to track the Musk circus, but I'm already getting tired of it. What is Twitter to you?
And her health has been failing recently, which has been a big problem for operations in the Senate (judicial appointments have stalled as there is now no party majority on the judiciary committee). She claims she will still serve the rest of her term, but I think there's a decent chance she'll eventually see the light and step down within the next few months. (Though this might just be wishful thinking on my part.)

The downside there is that Gov. Newsom then gets to appoint someone to serve the rest of her term, and then will have the incumbent advantage in 2024, even if they turn out to be not that great. But I think that's probably preferable to the current situation.
I think the problem here is one of total disregard of any performance issues.

To me this is the kind of people who only write SQL through ORM, suffers constantly from the N+1 problem, and say that RDMS are slow compared to key/value stores.

I wonder how good can ChatGPT become for SQL and if it can replace these people xD
What do you think is stopping them from doing that right now?
This is exactly it - and once released there is rarely the motivation to go back and optimize side things. The only game I know that has done anything like that is Factorio, or the open source reimplementations of various engines.

The crackers who remove copy protection often repackage (or someone else does) to greatly reduce size; since they’re in there poking around the code they can see what isn’t used.

This isn’t new, either, ancient console games have unused assets and even entire levels in the code but disabled.
The definition of working class is making their income from selling their labor as opposed to from capital.

Everything else is an implementation detail.
A quick Google (natch!) suggests that the company mission is: “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”

Does he "care deeply" about this? If we look at the direction they've taken in recent years, and the products they've launched (and/or killed) - how many of them demonstrate a "deep care" about this mission? How many of them are even tangentially related to this mission?

(The projects that Google undertook in the early days --Earth, Maps, Mail, digitising whole libraries, photographing the world for StreetView-- definitely showed a dedication to this mission statement.)
I had this discussion with someone on here the other day who flat out believed I'd invented the problem.

Kitty is so fast compared to anything else I've tried.
Oh, yeah? How does a retail investor settle a transaction without going through CB broker?
Imposing that on companies by whatever means(legal, social) will lead to less hiring overall to make it low risk. As much as it sucks to get laid off, I am sure a lot of laid off folks who were hired in the last 2 years would be glad that they have Google on their resume. That will set them up for a good career, since Google is known for a rigorous interview process.
Hmm. I was going by this chart, looks like it may be wrong: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GOOG/alphabet/net-...
Evidently Lerdorf wants to be perceived as aloof and 2school4skool. The quotes sound rather performative.
Agreed, there is way too much hype about the actual capabilities of the LLaMa models. However, instruction tuning alone makes Alpaca much more usable than the the base model and to be fair even some versions of the "tiny" 7B can do small talk relatively well.

> Using GPT to generate training data for fine-tuning seems to produce the best results, but even so, GPT4-x-Alpaca 30B is still clearly inferior to the real thing.

Distillation is interesting and it does seems to make the models adopt ChatGPT's style but I'm dubious that making LLMs generate entire datasets or copy/pasting ShareGPT is going to give you that great of a dataset. The whole point of RLHF is getting the human feedback to make the model better. OpenAI's dataset/RLHF work seems to be working wonders for them and will continue to give them a huge advantage (especially now that they're getting hundred of millions of conversations of people doing all sorts of things with ChatGPT)
As commented by everyone already, it is amazing how far they have gone here to ruin tye viewing experience.
Do you feel differently about fish who can swim?
Ballmer focused more on short term growth - pushing Windows, Office and related tools. The board was happy because revenues were up. They shouldn't have been happy. Tech companies have two choices: innovate or become irrelevant.
I've used ext2fsd in the past and it worked well. I don't think you could boot windows off of it but you can certainly start touching your Linux drive from there.
Yeah, UDF. UFS won't get you terribly far with cross-platform support... Thank you.

The problem is that politics has become a career. If you want to get elected to anything beyond a low-level local position, you need to put years of your life into it, and decades if you want a national political role with any clout. That essentially means that these tech people won't have time for a career in tech anymore. Maybe some would find that interesting or desirable, but I'd bet most would not.
> Why would purchasing Twitter and then driving off it's distinctive user base make economic sense?

Why try to make a service less full of jerks? One of the main reasons I don’t use Twitter is because of the vitriol. I might consider using it if they remove the 5% of loud jerks. I suppose there is some way to make money without people screaming and being rude.
Just wanted to point out that legally nothing is stopping Google from releasing Street View in Germany as far as I know. Maybe they will do so soon, considering that Apple Look Around is available for most of Germany
Replace “news articles” with “facts” and you’re closer to the point, but then how useful would that input be to you?
By using chatgpt, I offload all my legal liability to openai.
So his ego gets hurt, but not his wallet? I wish I had that risk! Gimme!
You need to give it more context. If you don’t give any style guidance then of course you get the default chatgpt style
Fox is not a news channel. The vast majority of both of their content (TV and web) is editorial / opinion / entertainment.

Not sure why we're even talking about them in the context of OP which is more around "town billboard" news accumulators like social media.
> Healthy alternatives like instant ramen?

No, healthy alternatives like healthy alternatives. E.g. google "cheap healthy food" (notice I even haven't added a "vegan" query constraint).

And your "poor people will choose calorie rich food" is an argument
- for what? That animal-based food is low-calorie or high-calorie, and people will only substitute it with unheathly stuff? Keep in mind that people have been going to "unhealthy" McDonald's for ages.

There isn't any correct way to structure CSS. Even if you are the best you will still have people telling you are wrong or they don't want their styling structured how you suggest.

Our current ‘simple rules’ to explain nature can only account for a small % of the visible universe.

Assuming there are simple rules, we don’t know how, for example, an electron has the wherewithal to follow them (when does it read the rules or check on them, where are they stored, etc.). It’s mystery all the way down (unless you define it as simple using hand-wavey abstractions ;))
Maybe OP is a shareholder. Most people probably own some google stock via ETFs even if they didn't explicitly buy the stock.
Pichai's Compensation from SEC Filing (p54) [0] is as follows - 1) Base Salary $ 2M, 2) Stock Awards $ 218M, 3) Miscellaneous $ 5.9M. The stock awards are based on Class C Google Stock Unit (GSU) and PSU (Performance Based Units). These are awarded if Google hits some targets which it did. It's basically a future looking contract which says "If you do X, we will pay X".

There are two parts to this conversation 1) Should CEOs be paid like this? and 2) Should Sundar have received the compensation? There should be no doubt about 2). That's a commitment made to Sundar. Part 1) of the conversation is a different one.

More information on p49 of the filing says this below

> 2022 CEO Equity Award for Sundar

> The Compensation Committee currently follows a triennial grant cadence for CEO equity awards. Sundar’s last equity award was granted in December 2019, and fully vested at the end of December 2022. In December 2022, the Compensation Committee granted a new equity award to Sundar to recognize his strong performance as our CEO.

> As with the 2019 award, the 2022 award consisted of both GSUs and PSUs. The on-target value of the award was unchanged from the 2019 award. However, relative to the 2019 award, the Compensation Committee made two design changes such that more of the award’s vesting is dependent on performance: (1) increased the proportion of PSUs to 60% of the total award from 43%; and (2) increased the performance requirement for on-target PSU payout to the 55th percentile from the 50th percentile of Alphabet’s relative total shareholder return (TSR). These changes further align Sundar’s compensation to long-term shareholder value creation and Alphabet’s stock performance relative to the S&P 100 over the applicable performance periods.

> The GSU portion of the award vests quarterly over three years in 12 equal installments beginning March 25, 2023. The PSU portion of the award includes two tranches. The PSUs will vest, if at all, based on Alphabet’s TSR performance relative to the companies comprising the S&P 100 over a 2023-2024 performance period for the first tranche (2022 Tranche A) and over a 2023-2025 performance period for the second tranche (2022 Tranche B), subject to continued employment on each applicable vesting date. The number of PSUs vesting will be determined after the end of each performance period based on the payout curve illustrated below. Depending upon performance, the number of PSUs that vest will range from 0%-200% of the target number of PSUs. Upon vesting, each PSU and GSU will entitle Sundar to receive one share of Alphabet’s Class C capital stock.

He brought up that you are grossly off the mark on salary. And it’s a pretty broad brush to say everyone at google is “timid” and this is the only reason they don’t unionize.
Yes, having a counterpoint with a relevant data point that you missed is “weak”

you are ignorant, making your argument weak and just plain wrong. Should people no longer point out when comments are really wrong? You’re also over generalizing while being completely incorrect ie making shit up
It won't solve the basic issue you bring up, but https://www.improvethenews.org/ at least help to make us more aware of those biases.
The trades aren't even secret, they just don't publish a bid/ask (quote).

For those like me who thought clipped wings meant exactly that, at least from what I have learned it usually just means removing 1 or 2 large feathers at the wing tips, not amputating an actual part of the wing.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone else but for me this thing seemed way worse than it actually was.
I think that one of the greatest advantages that Korean, Chinese, and Taiwanese companies have is that most of them seem to be somewhat immune to Harvard Business School ideas, and Jack Welch was never worshipped as he was in the West.

Keeping the bean counters under leash is good for building long-term value.
Actually I think that professor Vecce thought something like "If Dan Brown can do it, why cannot I do it, at least I am a history professor".

The book is seemingly a huge (500 + pages) story that is defined (at least in Italy) as "fictional history" or "romanticized biography".
Yes.

And so will following a strict recipe. You need to tune it yourself. Below boiling is better.

Use. Your. Tounge.

As if you need to be told, or can't tell.
I see your points - I'll certainly use clpfd more, in future.

Also, I was mistaken - my peano-ish solution worked in both directions, though it had probable performance issues (perhaps because I didn't know `dif/2` was more flexible than `\=`) and then had trouble when I tried to map back from peano to naturals. I used a fun and perhaps misleading form to try for brevity:

rle([], []).
rle([X], [[1, X]]).
rle([X,X|XS], [[N+1,X]|ZS]) :- rle([X|XS], [[N,X]|ZS]).
rle([X,Y|XS], [[1,X]|ZS]) :- rle([Y|XS], ZS), X\=Y.

And so:

?- rle([7,7,7,8,8,9], Y).
Y = [[1+1+1, 7], [1+1, 8], [1, 9]];
false.
?- rle(X, [[1+1+1, 7], [1+1, 8], [1, 9]]).
X = [7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9];
false.

Edit: If one cared for safety/compatibility, each [1, X] would be [0+1, X].
It often gets better with time. You don’t notice your clothes on your skin right? Even though objectively you know that the clothes are touching your skin, your mind learns to tune that out. The best thing you can do is to preoccupy yourself with something else and let your mind do the work of learning to ignore it.

If you keep focusing on it then you are reinforcing the stimulus which makes it worse. And you get into a vicious cycle.

Perhaps unhelpful advice to follow but the best thing that helped me was getting a crazy girlfriend, my mind was so preoccupied with other things that I just forgot about the tinnitus.
Early elevators used to need professional human operators (you sometimes see them in old movies). Stopping at a selected floor was something a machine was unable to do on its own. Until it was and elevator operators lost their jobs and we just took it for granted that machines could do it.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think systems like the one I linked to help you train your brain to react differently to the stimulus (or lack of stimulus) that may cause tinnitus. I really don’t know though and finding people who have tried the system is hard (I think they are mostly in Ireland).

There's another system being spun out of research from University of Michigan that seems similar but they seem to be very slow getting anything to market (which may be a good thing).
In my experience of layoffs, it's more akin to just digging up a tenth of the garden at random because you don't know what a weed looks like.
The restored pixel art in every example is blurrier than the original jpegs, I guess because it didn't align perfectly with the original pixel grid. So it doesn't seem very useful.

Well, let's see. The biggest parts of household budgets are shelter; transport; food, clothing and utilities; healthcare; and education-related costs.

Are houses going to drop 99% in price? That will impoverish house owners.

Are cars going to drop 99% in price, and fuel, and roads? I don't see how chatGPT helps.

If you're using a model that's behind a moderation service in their API, you're not actually assessing the biases of the model but rather of the corporation that's trying to remain profitable.
The argument is that LLMs don't have any motivations or goals, unless a human prompts them. They're not trying to stay alive or reproduce. They don't get hungry, feel pain or loneliness. They're just complex tools.
Not if you have a visa to worry about. Doesn’t matter how much money you have then. You need another job in 30 days or you and your entire family are at risk.
ZFS is stable and solid. It's hold up is licensing. ZFS isn't licensed in a way that can be included in the Linux kernel distribution.

Plus, my understanding is that Linus Torvalds has a dislike of ZFS because it came from Sun Microsystems.

> Unfortunately Sundar is also relatively weak at setting a bold vision to ensure the company continues to grow and innovate, as Larry had done.

I'm willing to presume Larry had bold visions, but if I grouped google products, I think successful and launched before 2006 would be the same.

I think it's time to admit that google has been a conglomerate for decades and could no longer run with innovative management. The correct thing to do is to break it up so subdivisions of today can be innovative companies, or reliable dividend payers, or bankrupt.
Oh, it's even better than that. This is just his compensation for last year. Add all previous years to it, plus stock he owns. Plus, the ability to get low interest loans which he can spend acquiring more assets.
1. Will your cluster identification be unbiased? How do you avoid providing more fine-grained taxonomy for clusters that hit close to home for you (or this tool’s operator) and shoving the rest into as few buckets as possible (because you don’t care)? 2. What about biases shared by all news organizations, regardless of cluster?
I think it’s pretty ignorant to think a staff software engineer at Google and the cleaning lady are in the same boat
I miss the days when I'd see a HN post to a Google project and be excited to check it out.

I don't necessarily fault Google--they have to do what makes sense for their business. But I wish, at the very least from a PR perspective, more companies would create cool things without worrying about whether they can be monetized.
I'm on this boat as well.

Keeping other life captive for your own sporadic amusement is pathologically self-centered.

Maybe not in legal terms. However a 90% market share in a market where the majority of consumers never evaluates switching to a competitor, gives you so much leeway in execution, that there isn't much difference to a monopoly.
> If the new tech isn’t true artificial intelligence, then what is it? In my view, the most accurate way to understand what we are building today is as an innovative form of social collaboration.

What an utterly vapid and ignorant view. In the rest of the article Lanier goes on to argue that it's all just "simple mathematics". Yeah, yeah, and computers are just simple NAND gates, amirite?

I've waffled over the years about how close I've thought AI is or could possibly be. Most of that time I've been very skeptical. But the past 6 months have been utterly mind-blowing. And I've spent some hours with GPT conversing. I've had it solve problems for me by explaining the problem in my own language and it turns around and writes workable code for me. That solves a novel problem.

Oh, it made a mistake? Sometimes says funny things? Well, so does my uncle.

Are they self-aware? Who tf knows? But they are reasoning through problems.

I didn't find the article illuminating in the slightest. It literally had nothing to say and no insight whatsoever. It was just "don't call it that because I don't like this."
Huawei has also become one of the main Linux kernel contributors, e.g.

https://news.itsfoss.com/huawei-kernel-contribution/

We read a lot on HN about Apple's M1 and how it was the first customer of TSMC's 5nm process. In fact, Huawei had bought the initial slot TSMC's 5nm process, and it was only the sanctions against Huawei that forced TSMC to reneg on its contracts and give them to Apple.
Took a brief look, the Ukrainian ones seem fine. These aren't limited to terms related to humans, I had found an animal disease among other things.
Having used both VSS and ZFS fairly heavily I much prefer the ZFS experience. It seems more predictable and reliable in fulfilling its function.

I am pretty strongly pro-Windows NT. I think there’s a ton of good design and implementation in it. (The parts of NT that came from Win32 are the more irritating parts.)

VSS isn’t wholly unreasonable. The design seems pretty well thought-out. I particularly like the VSS providers that can interface with hardware-based snapshot mechanisms and VSS writers to allow software to quiesce IO. It’s all pretty neat, but it seems to fail to take snapshots “mysteriously” pretty often in practice. Since I can’t see the source I don’t have much chance of actually figuring out what’s going wrong either.

I also like that VSS is clearly distinct from volume management and the filesystem itself. The layer violation inherent in the design of ZFS seems a bit clunky to me. In use, though, it has done very well for me and I haven’t bumped up against limitations re: volume management and redundancy being tied to the filesystem too much (probably because I’ve always come at it with the expectation that my volumes are pretty much decided at deployment time and migration means starting a fresh zpool and starting over).
It’s really funny to read this over and over from so many people. You are saying google can’t match and surpass chatGPT? You know, google the people who invented the model architecture used by ChatGPT… the people who wrote the first ML training frameworks and the subsequent most popular one… the ones who designed hardware accelerators to minimize training and inference… the people with enough excess compute to probably train a model with even more parameters? Come on.
> Add to that if you wanted to, you can do the minimum and just coast.

"Coast" a.k.a. perform only the duties as agreed in your contract, without going above and beyond. A.k.a. "quiet quitting", or the preposterous idea that the company doesn't own the time they don't pay you for.

I'm a somewhat long-time Googler and really dislike this anti-labour narrative.

Software development is easy, maintenance is challenging. When your system integrates with other systems and you want to make changes, it's critical to understand the details. I doubt people without IT background should be in charge of such processes.
I see your comment just fine but iirc accounts with few posts might show up as dead
Meat is included in the cheap healthy food (as you said yourself), but once you're so poor you cannot afford even the cheap meats, you won't be able to afford a lot of other healthy things either. Yes cabbages are cheap when in season, but how long will you feel "full" (not hungry) after a cabbage soup compared to eg. pasta or rice?
