While I've met plenty of terrible developers from the best universities and with the best grades and interviewing skills, people that was easily outclassed and outperformed by 3-month bootcampers, I can't lie crappiest one are much worse, people who struggle to implement very basic algorithms such as Fizz-Buzz.
> That definitely says something about the discoverability of the platform's functionality.

Meh. Back in ye olde days, when developers were either self-taught from the roots or came from universities, they just knew that stuff from experience.

Nowadays, a lot of "developers" come from three months "coder bootcamps". They may even be reasonably proficient in whatever flavor of JS toolkit the camps teach at the moment, but they will have zero knowledge about what makes their computer tick.
Intimidating? They mention that if you sue them on copyright ground when they do nothing copyright related, they are able to claim damages. Which seems pretty fair, as the claims by the photographers are clearly in bad faith.

Links are still mostly legal in Germany, if the link is to something which is not, it’s a different situation and different from "hey, I own the copyright of my images, don’t link to them!"
One of the worst cognitive biases which humans suffer from is the belief that observations about individual people can be generalized. How much faulty thinking, including racism and sexism, stems from this simple error? An extension of this common mistake is thinking of people as interchangeable, or fungible, when planning work - pretending who does the work doesn’t matter.

A pattern I've repeatedly seen is companies will plan out the next few quarters of work and then assign some number of people, one person for one quarter to a project, two people for three quarters to another, etc. This process enables executives to make decisions about costs, priorities and project funding. This works for it's purpose, however, the roadmap creation and review process perpetuates the fiction that people are interchangeable, that people can be generically abstracted over.

Because it mostly is.
I just got done reading Critical Mass by Daniel Suarez. The technology described and used in near future story of the book is based around this concept. Except in the book, they use it to power mass drivers to shoot cylinders of lunar regolith to a Lissajous orbit where it can be processed into raw materials.
I'm afraid I'm the middleman here. Profit went straight to us, consumer still paid the 0.70/kw.

I have to say that we are implementing dynamic pricing and want to have fixed margin of 0.30/kw, I believe we will be the first medium sized operators who will have full price transparency. We are going to be publishing 'tomorrows' prices on our website, even.
Nothing wrong with Apple building in-house solutions or integrating things into the OS. Problems start when a trillion dollar corporation uses their platform to strong-arm smaller development studios or individuals, shuts down their revenue stream for bullshit, confusing reasons, and steals their efforts instead of paying what is effectively chump-change to them, to reward the people who provided content to their platform.
I interpreted it as "those who chose to learn to code in the last 12 months" are in a grim tech-recruiting scenario.
You've begun the conversation, but what is the next step? You've identified that people feel threatened. Why do you think that is? It strikes me that pride is rarely a defensive response. What are the things they should be focusing on? In a system defined by one's ability to capitalize on one's individual importance, what less unfortunate mindset should be taken?
Machine learning feels a lot like cpu fabrication in that a homegrown solution is almost certainly going to be inferior to just taking whats on the market and configuring it to fit your needs. If you aren't going to specialize in this field, is there a point in learning how to roll your own ML anymore?
Does this actually happen outside of Silicon Valley plotlines? I can't see a SWE interview debrief having enough detail to leak anything useful about a competitor that you wouldn't have gathered through common sense.

Training generative models for motion is much harder than independent static images. The training sets are smaller, and the output needs to be consistent over time.

These models might be useful for generating character concept art, but that’s a tiny fraction of the overall workflow.
Building, LSP server, and immutability are definitely better in 2023 than author describe in their article.
The latest version of apple notes is great, but drafts has been the pkm tool I’ve been the happiest with.
> Transfer the money out to a separate 401K account that only you control after you've left the company.

Normally you move the money to a "rollover IRA" account. Every financial institution that offers IRA accounts will have a way to do this. Nowadays, most are automated. The largest players in this space are Fidelity and Vanguard. Your 401k is probably with them already.

To put money in an HSA, then you are required (by law) to have a certain type of insurance plan (one with a massive deductible - usually like $5k). FSAs are a totally different type of plan, and it is really common for the money leftover at the end of the year to be donated to the executive bonus program.
you're basically explaining how this already works under capitalism.
No, IP address is personal data by the EU definition and you need a legal basis to process it. The strictly necessary legal basis allows for TCP connections required to provide the requested service.

It is clear that the EU does not consider telemetry to be strictly necessary and while there can be times when telemetry is allowable with the legitimate interest legal basis (for example, to prevent fraud or to comply with legal obligations), there is already plenty of case law across the EU that shows that the legitimate interest legal basis will not be accepted for user analytics.

For this reason, it seems unlikely that the proposed telemetry will be compliant in the EU.
Private Moon Lander Is Kicking Off a Commercial Lunar Race
It didn't have GPS but it did work well in cities using skyhook.
> it just doesn't work for 1Password, financially

That is clearly not true. 1Password was around for over fifteen years and was profitable well before their Series A-C that set unrealistic growth targets. The financials were sound, which is why a non-startup was able to get that kind of financing at that kind of valuation to begin with.
In our country, dynamic pricing is on the raise for consumers and many consumers already profited from these pricing.
Doing LSD is closer to texting and driving than it is to driving.
ss is the right tool for this. Additionally, it may be commonly necessary to find processes in network namespaces.

I think so? That's the only thing I use. It's possible that I'm not remembering correctly. FWIW I was also using the self checkout thingy.

A cursory google search suggests that most HD stores do not accept it. There are some reddit threads about individual stores gaining support. Perhaps I lived in a test market?

Hopefully they rollout support soon!
The entire process whereby laws are drafted and enforced is alarming. Lobbyists and people who disagree with your way of life have substantial influence. I believe that for some of the largest expenditures of my lifetime the US Congress voted literally without people having read the final text bills they were voting on [0]. The language is interpreted by a large group of unreliable judges and juries. Corruption hangs in the air, and people who talk rationally are thin in the conversation. Lord of the Flies looms large in everyone's minds.

Using AI in the drafting process is hardly something to get worked up about in amongst that mess. ChatGPT has a nice clear style and will probably help make these laws more accessible.

ChatGPT can read a 4,000 page bill in 3 days. It'll probably be a net win once the dust settles if it makes it harder to ram stuff through without debate. And it'll be a nice neutral way of arguing about what is in a bill - people might be able to agree on which AI is reasonable and what it thinks the summary should be. That'd be a win the size of the moon in terms of better pressure to write good legislation.

That's like comparing horse and carriage to a modern day truck though, no? This can be fully automated, generating photoreal content on its own. You couldn't airbrush a photo via a cron job like how you can now automate some model generating thousands of images of people rioting/looting for authoritarian purposes. Who will go through the effort of verifying every one of them? Other language models with precision issues?
I knew their stalks had fewer buttons, but everything? Eww. Very glad I grabbed an Elantra before it gets the axe next year, it's essentially a model 3 minus 90-degree autopilot.
In case you're interested in only closing the TCP socket, and not killing the process, I wrote a linux-only PoC: https://github.com/anisse/tcpkill/

It has two implemented methods: one uses pidfd, the other uses netlink INET_DIAG_DESTROY (like ss -K).

CLI UX could be improved, but it does the job.
Ordinary matter in the galaxies cannot explain the rotation curves. Something dark (that doesn't interact with electromagnetic radiation) is needed.

Also, the mass in the universe cannot be all baryonic, since that would make primordial nucleosynthesis inconsistent with observed abundances of various light isotopes.
Yeah with space it is typically more efficient to move energy versus mass. The efficiency may not be great but you get to balance it with the increased efficiency of solar panels being located in space. So independent component efficiencies might be overshadowed by large end to end system efficiency gains.

Apple vs Epic Games is currently challenging this in courts over Fortnite. You can play on other platforms but the argument is on mobile, you're forced to use their walled garden and let them take 30%.
I find self-contradictory the idea that the pronouns have a single origin that at the same time appeared very late and propagated everywhere even in place that have been isolated before the appearance of the pronouns.

He places also the appearance of self-awareness and fully human behavior 12000 years ago, but self-awareness exists in other animals and many human behaviors date from long before (tools: 2.5 Myr, fire: 400-1000 kyr, art: 30kyr)

I also read the article about the snake cult of consciousness that read more like an elaborated numerology than a scientific hypothesis
"then your version control system is not going to fix that for you."

Uh... Pull requests are not a version control workflow - it's a human workflow. It's also a way for the team to actually LOOK at the code that is going in and to be aware of what changes are incoming.

I mean, that's just one point, there are so many ways in which this view is fatally flawed, I am not even going to... ugh.

I know this is not trolling, but this is so scandalous, it comes across that way. This is beyond a "hot take".
Here in rural New England, it’s snow, ice and slush for months of the year. Bicycles and even motorcycles are unworkable for most, especially the elderly.

The investment necessary to install and operate public transportation that operates on fixed routes and schedules is completely infeasible. There isn’t even a single taxi or Uber in town - they didn’t pay.

A century ago, this area was full of small farms, which were self-sufficient and people would make it an entire winter without leaving their property. Those days are gone. The same would have been true for rural Japan, though the latter had a higher density of small towns and small crafts, e.g. tofu makers within walking distance.

Mass transit works great in Tokyo, where these pictures were taken, and it works worldwide at similar population densities, better than cars.

Rural US has chosen the privately owned car as its transportation system. It works well. Perhaps it can be augmented with roboUbers, but remember the issues with electric scooters!
Yeah, when we were told we needed to just keep sleeping in our beds, it was so unsettling.

For months I just didn't sleep under any covers because I couldn't handle the thought of them creeping around under there and I would wake up constantly throughout the night to the fear that I was being bitten... months after we'd seen the last one too.

Whenever I'd vist my parents, I'd have a double bagged load of clothes that I'd keep in the boot of my car and I'd run them through high heat dryer cycles daily and change into them in outside the house after thoroughly checking myself for bedbugs. It took me years after moving out of the flat to get my head back to normal.

Awful. Awful. Awful.
Let me get my broken record out to say that "trust" in certain institutions, as well as cryptographic signing, will become even more indispensable over time. Webs of trust where items and documents are signed by trusted organizations to be authentic/unaltered, since we won't be able to trust our eyes or ears.
yeah. also need less structural barriers for legally forming a cooperative. it's so confusing and obtuse if you want to form one, and a lot of states make it hard for some reason (we need something like stripe atlas for worker cooperatives).

plus a lot of folks don't even realize organizing a business like this is an option. and a lot of folks wrongly assume that cooperative == less money / less efficient. we've been brainwashed by the capitalist organization of enterprise.
Surely nothing possibly could go wrong.
I know the word sounds demeaning, and I didn't mean to criticise in on technical grounds. I find it an extremely impressive project.

I meant that it does not have the refinement you would expect for such a critical tool. A substantial portion of LAION is composed of duplicates. If you have ever browsed it, you will find that many annotations are quite basic and in some cases incorrect. In ChatGPT's case we know there was a small army of people going through their dataset to filter and refine issues that are presumably similar to those.

Good points. It also matures quite quickly and has lots of attention.
That diagram doesn't make a lot of sense to me, hierarchy wise. At the top the diagram contains, "inhabited by [...] trolls", and at the bottom "the only way into 8chan".

If the hierarchy is "public visibility", then I believe the dark net to be more visible than a private WhatsApp group.

This isn’t necessarily true. You can actually have quite a useful device by only using Apple’s software. As a customer, I don’t need third party apps on my iPhone. (There are only one or two third party apps I actually use, and my phone would still be 95% as useful without them.)

I always found disabling FK checks weird, as in, once you disable them, isn't the integrity permanently lost? Or does it check again the integrity once it's reactivated?
"But Ellis told me that in an automotive shop it is hard to get good service as a woman, not to mention as a lesbian. She worries about getting scammed, looked at funny, insulted, or worse: “You have to watch your back, guard your purse, and just be mindful of the space at all times.”"

Funny, I help out at the family service station from time to time. Had a nice lesbian couple show up last weekend. They requested assistance installing a taillight bulb. I walk out and am greeted by a man-hating, derogatory sticker on their trunk lid. I didn't say a word, and still installed their taillight with my useless man hands.

This article started out alright, then slid further and further left until it fell off the topic altogether.
Ya that's right, I suspect Hacker News is maybe the 1% that is capable of DIY'ing a solution and will complain about every little change with that as the "stick".

That said this whole telemetry push comes on the heels of their $600M VC round a year ago which wasn't designed for a linear growth business that just "keeps on keepin on" with the good times. So I'm a little skeptical that the company is philosophically/financially aligned with its consumer users.

Kids are taught about online safety. To them it feels creepy when some app knows their location when they have disabled location tacking, and rightly so. Very poor decision by Snap for a product marketed for kids.
Except snprintf() does not terminate the string if there's no room for the final \0. So technically this should be

buf[sizeof buf - 1] = '\0';

That's....sad. People pay $4 a month to view the childish ramblings of some egotistical billionaire.

His opinion isn't worth any more than yours, mine, or anyone else's. It's not like he's doing groundbreaking STEM research or offering deep, insightful commentary on the politician or economic problems of the day...he's just some weirdo that happens to be the 2nd richest person on the planet and he's posting dumb memes and stuff.

The code to declare/build the widgets is quite nice. Modifying widgets by hand on certain signals or manually re-wiring all the signals seems a bit outdated to me.

Why would a company use ocaml?

I’ve worked in software now for most of my life, from small to the biggest companies. I’ve watched teams with senior developers use non mainstream languages to build services and just about every time those devs get board again, leave the team, leaving them stuck with this system that’s hard to develop and different from the rest of the orgs, eventually resulting in a complete rewrite.

At companies I try to be boring, not weird, and efficient. Which usually means for me, writing in a very mainstream language that is easy to hire for.
Should your company block ChatGPT?
Hey folks, I used to be a CTO for two separate fintechs and even was the founder of another that I recently sold.

People keep asking me if their companies should block ChatGPT, so I decided to write an article about it.

Check it out and let me know what you think – I'm curious about your experiences and opinions on this topic!
Nobody specified what measure the median was made against - or that skill is involved in any way - so it’s still possible.

Brought to you by another chapter in the book Recreational Arguments.
Lets break down the three clains in reverse order:

1. Are there primitive societies of hunter-gatherer that are not self aware, as in they don't pass neurological test that measure this?

2. From a evolutionary perspective what is the advantage of this sexual dimorphism and given that this advantage exists why did this advantage disappear afterwards and become present in both sexes. Are there any other traits where woman are shown to have larger divergence. I thought men where the "weak" sex in this regard.

3. If consciousness is recent then how do you explain conscious trails and self awareness in lower primates, is this also a case of convergent evolution?
> constant power output

Worth noting this isn't as much of a benefit as it's made out to be.

If you were designing a perfect power source, it would match demand, so produce more in winter in polar regions, and more in summer for regions with lots of AC. Similarly, you'd generally want more power during the day than at night.

This is part of the reason a mix of solar and wind that varies by latitude is an ideal mix.

Space power might get more bang for buck if it could target its power to different regions e.g. swapping from north to south as the seasons change, and/or following the day/night cycle and/or weather to maximise energy price.

Social profit is a motive and money is simply a store of value. You can run a business for whatever goal you want.

Nothing legally stops you from opening a business that won't make net income, if you are willing to backfill the shortfall.

Capitalism hasn't put up any type of barriers against doing so, and there are still plenty of options. The barriers are primarily individually pessimism with a light sprinkling of government regulation.

“The analysis in this report is based on a self-administered web survey conducted from April 14 to May 4, 2022, among a sample of 1,316 dyads, with each dyad (or pair) comprised of one U.S. teen ages 13 to 17 and one parent per teen.”

Reporting statistics across a combined user base of billions, using a sample size of 1300 teens and 1300 parents??? What a joke. Should this kind of useless research really be discussed and spread around the internet?
