I've been immersed in a very applied corner of industry for nearly 20 years now and have lost touch with the world of basic research. My sense (and I have no proof to offer) is that the old Bell/IBM/DuPont/GE/... era of industrial labs with a healthy exploration culture is gone and won't come back in my lifetime.

- Seemed that Google had that spirit at one time with its X Lab and also the Google Labs that put out fun products but all I read here and elsewhere is that is in the past

- The Janelia Research Campus may be carrying on the spirit of small, collaborative groups led by a hands-on scientist (there were no empires at Bell Labs.) Could be a very good place to be a young student that has an interest in biology, instrumentation, and/or computation. See what they expect from the lab heads here:

https://www.janelia.org/our-research/our-labs/group-leaders

/excerpt
"Group Leaders have time to focus their energy and creativity on research with the freedom to pursue long-term difficult projects through collaborative, interdisciplinary work. They are not evaluated solely on conventional academic measures, such as publishing. Rather, Group Leaders will be expected to make progress in their research areas and make contributions to the work of other Janelia scientists through collaboration, constructive criticism, or mentoring."

One of the guys I did know personally wound up at Janelia and eventually at Stockholm.

I was on the other side of the very long Murray Hill building in the physical sciences area. I went to one of Odlyzko's presentations at the Journal Club circa 1992 or 1993 - I think it was on an important new result in prime numbers/factorization/encryption. I never met him, let alone worked with him, though. I do remember one of my senior colleagues (physical scientist) wondering why any of that stuff mattered. My response was that it was probably much more important than anything he or I were doing, had done, or would ever do. I had read something in Byte or a similar popular magazine about primes and encryption it seemed like the field had serious practical implications on top of being incredibly interesting. One of the few correct predictions in my career!

Addendum: On re-reading this, I realized that I am taking a very US-centric perspective. The spirit/culture I was talking about could exist in other countries.
Bluesky's Big Moment
It is well known issue in products that require serious 'design' for human interactions that tech nerds are useless as target audience samples.

In gamedev there are 2 groups of people first is 'game designers' or 'creative direction' and second is - 'tech people'. Best games for wide audience happen when 1st completely ignore 2nd on what needs to be done... And 2nd completely ignore 1st on how invisible bits have to implement it. Often 1st can not iterate properly without code changes on every step and it kills best ideas. I have seen a lot of success when design iterations can be done in no code or very low code environment.
> Letting employees cling to jobs where they are no longer needed is unhealthy for everyone...

Quit lying to yourself. It's certainly not "unhealthy for everyone," for instance it's probably healthier for laid off employees in many circumstances.

"It's better for everyone" often translates to "it's better for me and I don't really care about you."
Cameras are treated as revenue streams, not safety improvement devices. That's the cover story that's sold to the public, and then it's not unheard of for the light timings to be adjusted to increase revenues rather than promote safety at the intersection.

If an office is stated at an intersection it is an important issue. Similar in spirit to warrants as an important step in violating people's privacy.
i did.

it reads as a story if you ignore everything before the first single "/" and read the title, which has a handy link to anyone wanting more info about it, because i am a nice guy, instead of asking such a question.

as far as summing it up, well, you can read what i have posted here to figured it out, if you really want to know more.
The WebAudio API has an anlayser node that can create spectrogramms in real-time. The ones I've created in the past were nowhere near as detailed as this one though.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_A...
It uses "audio/webm;codecs=opus" to record mic. Now it's possible to change it in the config menu in the top right. Safari probably needs audio/mp3. Edit: also consider "audio/foo;codecs=pcm" where "foo" is something compatible with Safari.
Do you think that "tediousness" is a good indicator of whether a topic is important?
I haven't seen "to no end" being used to mean "for no purpose".

But I see GP's usage of "to no end" a lot.
From a security standpoint, it's better for us all for LLMs to be easily injectable. This way you can at least assume that trusting them with unvalidated input is dumb. If they are 'human level', then they will fail only in catastrophic situations, with real ATP level threat actors. Which means they would be widely trusted and used. Better fail early and often than only under real stress.
There were some fundamental issues with some of what Theranos was claiming to do. Mainly when detecting substances in blood with very low concentrations using very small volumes, especially when the blood is taken from the finger. In those cases even if you could pick apart every atom in the sample perfectly you still would not be able to do what Theranos was claiming to do, because the substances would either not be in the sample or there would be so few molecules that the uncertainty in the real concentration would be too large. real-time monitoring is a dream which in principle does not suffer the same fundamental issues, but does require much larger jumps in technology compared to current means of running tests.
Telecom has little competition because of high barriers to entry, not regulation.

I just don't understand how to square this

> because a corporation cannot even satisfy the needs of consumers within their narrow band of production (or else competitors wouldn't exist, and further enhancements of products would be unnecessary).

against the reality that there are monopolies that don't satisfy consumers and that some companies profitably degrade their products over time.
I highly recommend reading 'Confessions of a Jewel Thief' which are memoirs of, you guessed it, a jewel thief who almost never got caught. In fact, he technically only got caught once and received amnesty for hundreds of other ones just so the police could find out how he did it.

In my early years, I was a hacker. The only reason the FBI tracked me down was because I told a 'friend' who dropped an anonymous tip. I basically got off without jail time because they wanted to know how I did it.

In both cases, the motive was 'for the thrill.' In both cases, the only reason we ever got caught -- despite much searching by the authorities -- was due to stupid mistakes after a long string of successful 'adventures.'

Anyway, just wanted to back up your claim.
Get you a small shepherd's hook and a suet cage. He'll never leave your side!
It is bizarre to see people rediscovering the same stuff that we were doing during the early days of the dynamic web and the web application (probably circa 2000-2003 ish?) with partial rendering via API endpoints.

What is old is new again and all that.
stay tuned, there is a concerted effort to bring this area up to standards too.. more details will be discussed at the upcoming PGCon Ottawa and you will blogs on this subject in the latter half of the year
On Android the Linux kernel is its own thing, and after Project Treble, it follows a microkernel like approach to drivers, where standard Linux drivers are considered "legacy" since Android 8.

https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/hal

Don't use how Linux kernel does things on Android as understanding from how upstream works.
As if you were able to avoid Nickelback before.

It is plausible that the requirement would be something like 'insert at least 35% Canadian tracks' to any pre-canned playlist or 'song radio' sequence. I wonder how that would work with Gothenburg death metal playlists. I will probably get some Nickelback there.
It's very similar to the career-focused work carried out in the field of personality type.

I used to go to organizations and interview members, and then help describe to them where their arrow was going to consistently land, based on the favored personality-perspectives of those who worked there. You'd quickly get a picture of how everybody worked together, and then it'd click.

Boom, "if there's a way to paint a target right about...
here, so to speak, definitely do it." That kind of thing.

It was interesting to me because the work often showed a very sharp relief around the concept of "core self" and "projected persona". A lot of people run fantasy businesses and effectively hallucinate what it is they do, or offer. This feels like a tremendous mission to them of course, and it provides important energy.

But you had to be very careful about telling people that the persona--or the "who I want people to think I am / we are" was by definition generally less available in terms of raw productivity energy. This would tend to kick the logic stool out from underneath their value proposition. Then they automatically think, "of course, so life has to be boring."

IOW if you were telling an architectural illustration firm, established and profitable after years of hard work, that they were basically a political advocacy organization by default, and probably couldn't _not_ be that if they tried--that was not really something you could just come out and say to everybody.

So to this day I'm very familiar with orgs out there that are hired for architectural illustration or whatever, and then the topic of political maneuvering comes up, and the client suddenly pulls them in closer, and later keeps asking for illustration work in the future, because...well, probably because they like the huge discount they get on political strategy!

That the vendor doesn't want to look at their own work this way is not the client's problem, and the accompanying under-valuing of their services definitely seems to be a covert benefit.
A quick Google seems to suggest that that's the case, and their website is advertising ways to buy the Deutschlandticket pretty clearly.
I used this to recover data from a phone with a shattered screen and, later, turn it into a full-fledged remote server.

It is undeniably one of the most beautifully designed tools I've ever used. Major props to the developers.
Posting a previous comment on a Vice-related article because it’s relevant here;

Vice Media has several issues;

1) The founder, Shane Smith, was over ambitious and raised over $1 billion, which is just too much for a media firm. This is not a software business with high margins to justify such capital.

2) Vice transformed from an edgy content company producing cool stuff like a documentary about the Liberian cannibal warlord and a trip to North Korean labor camp and became just another mainstream liberal/left-leaning news outlet; the problem is there’s no shortage of such outlets, so Vice lost what made it unique.

The good thing about the kind of edgy content Vice produced is that it cut across all political spectrums and across different countries, meaning a larger audience. Anecdote is I and my friends (from Nigeria) used to watch Vice shows but have stopped due to shoving US politics down our throats.

What will likely happen is that Vice will end up selling for scraps. But note that Shane Smith already sold $100 million+ worth of shares [1], so he’ll be fine regardless.

Probably because they sound absolutely insufferable to work with.

Who demands extensive requirements docs in <100 person startups? Who organizes ERGs in that context? Who spends all their time obsessing over process, planning, and identity instead of actually building stuff?

It's amazing they had a job this long.

Active sonar (where a device sends a pulse of energy & listens to replies) can impact marine life.

Passive sonar (where you just listen to acoustic energy in the water) is used by submarines and surface ships to find submarines. With both on-board and towed sonar.

Submarines don't have any sonar designed to map the sea floor, though there are tools to identify the depth below the keel at any given time. Creating proper maps of the sea floor are done by much more specialized equipment/systems/processes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geospatial-Intelligen...
Any of the physical buttons will snooze it.
I think it is the other way around. From various accounts I've heard from people coming here, it's more that Australians drive slowly.

There are 2 factors IMO:

* Decades of 'speed kills' advertising without nuance, and automated systems to catch perpetrators. Just wait until a double demerit weekend here in NSW - there is no reason you need to drive 85 in a 100 zone to avoid a ticket, but plenty do it. They're actually scared of that limit and keep a healthy distance from it.

* Car speedometers lying to us - 10% plus 4 km/h is a significant legally allowed error rate, higher than many countries. To actually go 100, my new car reads 105. I tested this with Waze and cross-referenced against GPS dashcam videos. Most people won't. I end up passing a lot of people due to this.
Is he? Have you asked him? Maybe somebody should ask him to clarify his statement.

Some of the replies are gibberish, especially once you get into technical subjects that it has very little training data on. It kitbashes words together that actually mean nothing, which is no surprise given that it's an LLM.

Would univeral adoption of digital signatures issued by trusted authorities alleviate this problem to any degree?

For example, my phone would automatically sign this post with my signature. If I programmed a bot, I could sign as myself or as a bot, but not as another registered human. So you'd know the post came from me or a bot I've authorized. Theft or fraud with digital signatures would be criminalized, it isn't already.
You can select an area and zoom into it. Another option is to change sample rate in the config in the top right.
Vectors and stuff. Maybe throw a tensor or two in there? Or the Lagranian and Hamiltonian and get it right. Given the choice of two small metal boxes in a field of nearby similarly massive and much more massive objects with positive and negative relative velocities, you really choose the one with the greater velocity as “safer”? Right after you bounce off that truck your next hit may well be one going in the other direction. Or something concrete. Seems pretty clear cut to me (and is backed up by decades and millions of deaths over the last 100 years).
You are not mistaken but interacting directly with traditional on-chain transactions is there if you want, possibly a little slower and/or more expensive.

I see traditional (haha, talking about crypto having traditions already) on-chain transactions for high value, low volume movements of coins. And Lightning (and BitPay, etc) solutions for low value, high volume.
Exactly my experiences. With a fucking NGINX configuration, for which I provided it the documentation, and the URL rewrite lines it would require. I spent days on trying to find the value that other people are claiming it has.

----

I have just moved back to Perth after a stint overseas and am looking for a new opportunity. I have over ten years of development experience, mostly with the Laravel and Vue frameworks, but have dabbled with other techs (as happens when you've been in dev for a while!).

I am happy for a role that carries on with my established skills, but also willing to embrace new techs and business domains.

Would love to chat!
This question seems more like finding out what workarounds people are using for chatGPT limits which falls into the category of how gpt works in general, more novel/interesting,more focused on approach rather than a coding question
I don't know how it is in other countries. We recently wondered what the right thing to do is and the Citystate of Berlin has an FAQ on recycling: https://www.bsr.de/die-top-13-mullmythen-26874.php which makes some things explicit:

(It is in German, but deepl translated the relevant section)

Do empty bottles and packaging have to be washed out?

No. Because the packaging is rinsed out in the recycling process, when the sorted plastics are shredded. It is only important that all packaging is emptied of residues [ed. The translation misses tmthat they mean large residue or levtover amounts], is not stacked and the lid is removed.
Yep, if you don't care about the details or scope, everything is the same, all patterns repeat, all wheels are reinvented.

You've probably heard this before, but IMO you'll never find a happy place working from that perspective.
Can confirm, annoying... reminds me of the "Windows Update hell".
I didn't say "family formation" is tied to class. I said that family structure is a class issue.

I also specifically argued against the notion of seeing class as determined by income.
>why you’re focusing on games?

Its quite simple. Games is what I do for living for quite some time. They are a decent specific example of a software project that employs lots of people who need to build software every day on a job. This way I can say what industry does instead of what I think it should do.
>but sonar IS always on at all times

Yeah completely forgot there is both active and passive sonar.
Ask HN: Why wasn't Darwin (open core of macOS) more of a big deal?
I have and stand by every word, but seeing as you have no arguments and resort to implied insults we are done here.
It's obvious--automated enforcement is effective and consistent, and drivers are used to breaking the rules because human enforcement is neither of those things.
> And from what I understand, most European Union countries get unlimited sick leave, and 4-6 weeks of vacation both.

Yes, this is correct.
Recently, I was at a local shopping center, and there were trash bins with the usual three color marked holes for recycling ... but under them, if you peeked close enough, you saw there was one collecting bag where everything went. Made me sad.
How many of those Android users are "Android developers are running Android Studio in Android, or office clerks are editing their documents on Android."?
The problem is Wikipedia. OP's approach is perfectly natural. Textbooks are designed for OP's approach because that's how people learn.

If I want to learn about topic C which requires knowledge of topics A and B, but C can also be generalized to concepts X and Y, it will be very hard to learn from Wikipedia.

If I don't know how to add numbers and look up "sum" on Wikipedia, in the second sentence I learn that summing is used for functions, vectors, matrices, and other things I don't know about. This is a cool feature and I love it for exploring but hate it for learning things that require a few layers of concepts to get.

Textbooks do the opposite and are awesome. An electronics textbook will take you step by step through all the concepts to get to LEDs, without "forward references" to the concepts you haven't learned yet.

The "problem" with textbooks is that it will take a while to get to the destination. LEDs might be in chapter 15 and you may not want to spend a few months going through chapters 1-14. You don't know what you will need to understand chapter 15.

But you can perhaps work backward - you are guaranteed that any unfamiliar concept introduced in chapter 15 will be covered in chapters 1-14, and that there is no rabbit hole.

ChatGPT or a personal tutor can shortcut this by giving you just the "narrow path" of knowledge to understand the concept that you want to learn.
If you put together two of his statements (below), and to be fair these could be isolated responses taken out of context or rephrased by the journalist. He seems to be saying that he thought:

"autonomous killer robots" were 30 to 50 years or even longer away - but he continued working on the technology and then grew a conscience only when things came a long a little earlier than he expected.

What did he think? that the people of the world would come together to stop making the final step to something dangerous like we have with nuclear and biological weapons and climate change?

> as individuals and companies allow A.I. systems not only to generate their own computer code but actually run that code on their own. And he fears a day when truly autonomous weapons — those killer robots — become reality

> “The idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people — a few people believed that,” he said. “But most people thought it was way off. And I thought it was way off. I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away. Obviously, I no longer think that.”
I started seriously using computers at 2.5, and I started writing and recording songs with a tape recorder at 3, won a local award for one song, and playing chess at 4. I know plenty of people with similar experiences. If you nurture kids and don't treat them like they're stupid, they can do some quite impressive things.

Anecdote: admittedly, I'm autistic as are the people I know, so maybe that's not a good sample. I struggle with a lot of basic shit even as an adult. Oh god, I empathize with the hypothetical GPT5.
