I bought Minecraft for my son and I've been extremely frustrated by this requirement and that there's seemingly no way to stay signed in— I've had to print out my MS account details and tape them to his computer so he can sign in whenever he needs.

The fundamental concept is to learn the statistics of text, and in the process it models the syntax via long-range connections successfully. There is no indication that it actively generates "concepts" or that it knows what concepts are. In fact the model is not self-reflective at all, it cannot observe its own activation or tell me anything about it.

I Was Wrong, and So Can You: The Power of Intellectual Humility
In a world where everyone is eager to assert their correctness, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate a unifying truth: we're all wrong - all the damn time.
I absolutely believe GPT-4 can write improv comedy, grasp sarcasm, and convince a spouse that their idea of a dream vacation is hell for me. At least I wouldn't be blamed.

I work a niche B2B product and we basically made this a requirement.

Unsurprisingly we’ve had 0 issues asking our customers to use recent versions of Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Safari. Obviously not using super new APIs like @container before they are fully read on these 4 but still that’s still basically every modern feature.
The incentive to not act like the slackers is how it impacts your "network". It's pretty insufferable to work with these people, when the success of your project depends on them or their team for whatever reason.

If our team is hiring and I see a former coworker got laid off who was a slacker I won't put in a referral for them. I guess it won't impact them much, because tech is still growing and demand exceeds supply, but at least it will keep my work slightly more enjoyable. A job well done is it's own reward.

Dependency Management in Go
I'm generally not fond of monorepos but reading this and right away being targeted by this tweet https://twitter.com/nikitabier/status/1652764613962760196 made me think on how much time goes on decisions that won't impact users directly and how hard it becomes to justify that on regular companies in an environment where CEOs are jumping the layoff bandwagon for no reason.
I don't think that sort of strategy can work for everyone because there's two possible negative mental outcomes in there too.

First, some people will feel that they're "cheating" and don't deserve the paycheck because they're intentionally working less. That feeling can be worse than the benefit of having more time.

Second, some people have too much of a sense of personal pride to do that sort of "quiet quitting".

This is all ignoring the fact that some people have management who will actually notice quiet quitting.

Good on you for having a relationship with work such that "quiet quitting" isn't causing undue mental anguish.
The common "Multiply Shift" hash function is exactly what the article calls "Fibonacci Hashing" except for which constant is being multiplied by.
That "Shift" part of "Multiply Shift" is what I assume you're referring to with "remapping".
If this is an example of an "invention" merely being the documentation of long-known folk practices, as some have argued, it makes me wonder how many inventions out there remain to be documented.

How many construction sites, workshops, factories, studios, etc have craftsmen passing along techniques that have never been formally described?

I know this type of science and discovery was much more prevalent in the 19th century when these undocumented practices were more common, but there must still be some and they must still be evolving.

I'm reminded of a talk I attended in school where a guest speaker from industry came in to describe the ideation aspects of industrial automation. The faculty were asking about all these cutting edge technology and management frameworks. The speaker replied that the most effective meta-tool they had for process improvement was a wiki that the assembly line workers could edit.

Not sure if you’re just blinded by nostalgia, but I would consider Taylor Swift one of the most well-known popstars in history. You realize that she just broke the record for most attend U.S. concert for a female performer right?

Regardless, it’s not just about popstars. People like listening to music that they can connect to on a human to human level. They do also like listening to music that is just there to dance to. Both can coexist, but I don’t see people connecting with music that AI writes simply because there isn’t a persona there to connect with.

The business downsides are your problem though. Nobody gets a raise if the company makes great profits, but if it is making weak profits you're going to get a pay cut or be laid off. Maybe there was a time when this was not the case, but it was not during my lifetime.

Although I can understand the purpose of the author, part of me thinks Beethoven's music is on such a higher plane than current politics. Or maybe that WAS his message....

When people talk about "desert island" picks, I prefer to modernize it to what one would choose to take with them on a long space flight, or (if we use deep sleep) to a new space colony. I don't know how many bytes of storage I'd be allotted, but I have a feeling Beethoven's late string quartets would be included. And Steely Dan....
Nice.

I’ve skimmed over the documentation and it wasn’t clear. It looked like the database was designed from scratch. If this is a caching/syntactic sugar over a mix of DB and inference queries, this is interesting and feels a lot less risky.

My worry with this kind of thing is that some random dependency will break and there will be no easy solution. Compiling Python to JS seems like a very fragile process. And if people run into bugs, they will need to debug a very specialized and unusual toolchain.

If you're going to go all-in on one language to build an entire SaaS product, JS seems like a much safer choice. There's no Django-for-JS yet, as far as I know, but when there is, it'll be a no-brainer.
I'd recommend using a launcher, it stops that happening. I use Prism Launcher and after the initial sign in about a year ago I've never been asked to log in again even after going a few months of not playing it.
Probably the optimal way to learn orbital mechanics (n=1 it worked flawlessly for me):

1. Install KSP, try to get to orbit. Don’t overthink it, just use the base game in sandbox mode, don’t bother with science, just build something that looks good and pilot it the way you think it should work. Do a few iterations to fix problems if you think you see an obvious fix, but don’t spend too long here or drive yourself to quit in frustration.

2. Look up a guide to orbit. Scott Manley has a comforting accent and good pedagogical skills, so I recommend https://youtube.com/watch?v=F0KiePxOuuc

3. Implement the guide and get to orbit. (If you did achieve orbit in step 1, compare your orbit with what the tutorial achieved and make changes to your approach if the tutorial orbit looks better to you.) Save your game once in orbit, you can try again from this position multiple times.

4. Use the in-game intercept planner / orbit planner (click on your orbit and drag the handles to plan burns and see where it takes you) to try to get to another stellar body. The Mun is a good first target. Don’t overthink it or do much research, just do what you think should work. Try a few times restarting from orbit. You may need to restart from Kerbin building a bigger launch rocket so you end up with more fuel once in orbit. Aim to get a stable orbit as close as possible to the surface to marvel at how it looks, don’t worry about landing or returning to Kerbin, that’s more advanced. Don’t drive yourself to frustration, your goal is just to familiarize yourself with common difficulties.

5. Open this linked article on orbital mechanics and implement its teachings to get to Mun orbit and then to other stellar bodies. They’re all very pretty and worth seeing up close!

The goal of a manager or worker isn’t to be efficient, it’s to produce value. I suspect the diminishing returns of effort at most companies is astonishingly high.

I would much rather a developer work 10 hours and accomplish what needs to get done than work 40 and negatively impact the business.
Your totally generalized dismissal of U.S. healthcare, which despite its many known flaws, routinely treats millions of people in the U.S. per year very effectively, is way the fuck off base and absurd. Not all doctors are the same, not all patients are the same and not all outcomes are worst case scenarios on the part of doctor incompetence. I really hope nobody else takes seriously such a blanket pile of exaggerations to the point of nonsense.
In many jurisdictions there are habitability requirements that, if not met, make it unlawful for the landlord to collect rent for the period during which they are not remedied, but there I am not aware of any that requires the landlord to supply substitute lodging (the presumption generally being that the withheld rent can instead be used for that purpose, though that’s dubious, in general.)

This is a horrible question that if not illegal, is extremely close to being illegal since it requires the candidate to give information about their age.

The signal this question provides is a signal about the person giving the interview (and the company as a whole) and nothing about the candidate.

That is, if someone asked me this question in an interview, I would immediately know that I want nothing to do with the company. I would probably politely end the interview on the spot, and would definitely not answer the question.

What the question is asking is whether the candidate was able to have access to a computer as well as resources on how to develop on that computer when you were growing up.

This is extremely biased because many people may not have been able to have a computer to program on, could not get access to such a computer, or, if they could, did not have access to information on how to program the computer.

The point is, all of those details are irrelevant.

That is, if two candidates have the same number of years of professional experience, it doesn't matter when they first started getting interested in the field they are interviewing for.
The movie Office Space is about this exact problem. Why go above and beyond the bare minimum when management doesn't care? (And then is so oblivious that they fire some of the hardest workers?)

I'm personally the sort who gets frustrated when there isn't enough to do or when it's clear other people on the team aren't carrying their weight, but I can't say I blame the "why try harder than I have to" crowd, but I try to avoid companies with that culture. I've seen some companies avoid it by trying to punish and fire people to ensure a 'minimum quality bar'. That works better than letting obvious negligence slide, probably, but still isn't particularly motivating to go above and beyond. The "pay well but make it understood that you're paying for quality" method is way better as long as you still keep a close eye on that quality and it doesn't just turn into "pay well and screw around" (it's not hard to find stories of this in FAANGs in the past decade).
Anyone know any tips for getting bumped up the waitlist for Bluesky? I've been following the at protocol and Bluesky for some time now.

> all instructions should be the same size in classic RISC.

IIRC yes, and also I think it's a matter of (at least in classical RISC designs) all instructions being fairly simple and being of close enough latency that, for the most part, instructions had a very close delay.

Contrast to something like x86 where some instructions were fast but others were far far slower.

The advantage of this was that pipelines would be easier to do, and while you would need more instructions to complete some tasks, the simplified processor designs would be easier to improve upon.

Oh, the other advantage was, this was easier to pipeline but would in many cases result in the dreaded 'branch delay slot' where an instruction after a branch would be done, even if the branch was taken[0]

And, in some ways that proved true in it's own right. The AMD K5 was based on an AMD Am29000 CPU with an X86 Decoding front end, (The NexGen 5x86 was as well, and did it -first- but AFAIK had a more 'purpose built' RISC core, The Pentium Pro I assume also had a 'purpose built' core, so the lineage is, at least most -easily- traceable with the K5.)

[0] - The connection between Branch Delay Slots in RISC architectures and speculative execution and pipeline vulnerabilities such as Spectere/Meltdown feels under explored, IMO there is a relation.
Money talks, and for good reasons.

When planes are not flying, people don't travel, so airlines don't make money, so they can't buy new planes, so manufacturers don't sell planes, so engineers don't get paid, so they leave, so they don't make better, safer planes.

It is a difficult balance to find, and sometimes the FAA gets it wrong, and sometimes people die. It is tragic when it happens, but if you want to be able to travel by plane, the industry has to keep going. Overall, the FAA has done a rather good job despite the conflicts of interest: accidents go down and air travel goes up. When they mess up, they usually take corrective action, as it was the case here.

Work Attitudes and Work Organization in the Soviet Union (date unknown - ? 1985) [re-formatted]

"Over the past two decades there is abundant evidence of Soviet concerns with the problems of job dissatisfaction and poor work morale. The evidence appears in a score of sociological studies of work attitudes and in the more "popular" periodical literature on labor problems.

The kind of work discontent which is apparent, however, does not appear to be potentially "explosive" in nature. It manifests itself chiefly in

- indifferent job performance,

- poor work discipline, and

- high rates of job instability.

Job dissatisfaction is not confined to any one sector of the work force, but the discontent of relatively highly educated young workers in routine, low skilled jobs has been particularly troublesome.

Continuing problems of poor work morale and lackadaisical job performance have elicited Soviet interest in Western experiments in work re-organization (work "enrichment"programs, job rotation, autonomous work teams), and initial steps have been taken to introduce a modest Soviet version of the "humanization of work". The urgency of mobilizing disciplined work commitment becomes all the more pressing as the Soviets enter a period of intensifying labor scarcity, in which economic growth becomes increasingly dependent on the growth of labor productivity rather than on additions to the work force"

The Ideal Communist Worker

Within a communist society, people are expected to act in the interest of the Communist Party and the majority of society. Specifically, the individual is expected to work and act to promote the betterment of the community. Chairman Mao Zedong elaborates, “At no time and in no circumstances should a Communist place his personal interests first; he should subordinate to the interests of the nation and the masses. Hence selfishness, slacking, corruption, seeking the limelight are most contemptible, while ... working with all one’s energy, whole hearted devotion to public duty, and quiet hard work will command respect.” Hence, communists are expected to work diligently and thoughtfully in order to ensure he or she provides the most benefit to society.

As a result, any worker in the computer field is expected to manufacture computer products without the wish for acknowledgment or excessive monetary reward.

I personally wouldn’t put the Emotion one first on the GitHub README, that was the only one I opened, before clicking the license plate one and a) see it was a whole other GitHub demo and b) opened two files to see both doing parsing/loading models without any SQL before getting bored and closing the project.

Maybe I’m not the target market but seeing the 2nd and 3rd example in your list here, which actually has SQL query examples, were much more interesting and relevant IMO
This model of bus sharing was extremely common at the time, just splitting access to the bus on the off cycle of the bus. Commodore 64 and Atari ST were also like this, among others. I forget if the Atari 8-bit machines (also partially Jay Miner designs) were fully like this, but I believe they were.

It worked because the world then was almost the opposite of the way it is now. Back then memory & bus was as fast or faster than the CPU and so you could do this kind of thing. To the point where there were architectures where the CPU itself had basically no registers (TMS 99xx), and the processor did registers (or register-like as in the 6502 'zero page') access via SRAM.

Now memory access is many times slower than the processor, keeping things in on-die cache and in registers is key.
Hopefully this is a joke. I’m a programmer and don’t know the first thing about running a company nor am I interested. I’d bolt the first day some nonsense like this was introduced.
You mean the one where he says that landlords (in the feudal sense, to be fair) are the only class in society which features the combination of the wits to recognize their own interests and interests aligned with the general interests of society, unlike both the mercantile (what we might now call capitalist) class, who knew their interests but whose interests were at odds with the broader society, and the laboring classes whose interests were the general interests, but who were too dull to know them and too easily misled by others?

Or some other Adam Smith quote?
Far more things that can go wrong with them though (at least compared to a standard gas stove). "Repairability" for electronics is considered a competitive disadvantage where companies want to force you to buy a whole new device instead of fixing the blown capacitor (or whatever the issue is).

Although the right to repair movement seems to be making some headway recently, so maybe all is not lost. Touch screens (with no alternative), and subscription service shoehorns need the same treatment, ban them.

What test would you give it to differentiate mimicking from thinking? I would like to experiment and test that out.
