I don't even get how the hell copyright infringement became a matter of criminal law. If you're distributing a product that infringes on somebody's IP in a way which negatively impacts their profits, that is (by which i mean "should be") a matter of civil law and they can sue for damages. Why the hell should law enforcement get involved at all?

Seven[0] out of fifty is not "many" by any stretch of the imagination.

Even in those seven, it's not something that happens automatically. For example, in Utah, it only applies to those "who hold themselves out as and have acquired a uniform and general reputation as husband and wife."[1]

>Plenty of cops are nice people, but they're working for a system that fundamentally is bad.

How nice can you really be if you sign up for, and continue to work within, such a awful institution?
Funny. It's awkward sometimes as a parent to weigh the excitement of "how cool is this" with the possibility of your kid being exposed to that kind of excitement before it's really appropriate. Particularly if your own childhood worked out more or less fine that way...

You got me thinking though...I first saw Wolf3D in high school drafting class. Mostly 386/40s but some 486/33 systems too. My mouse sat on top of a big digitizer tablet next to the computer.

The teacher was cool with us playing games and things at lunch. Sometimes people would pop in to ask about drafting and CAD while we were playing on Wolfenstein or...what was the artillery one? Scorched Earth I think. Death's Heads going off while brushing doritos crumbs off the shirt and saying "hi there, welcome...so these are all CAD systems running AutoCAD, and uh..."

To counterbalance this, another student was usually rendering things in POVRay and I think at one point I brought in VistaPro to show people.

It's funny to think about the scariness factor. Wolf3D and Doom were both pretty good for jump scares and relative tension. But the feeling of excitement was really well balanced in various ways. Finding weapons, using cheat codes, etc.

I still remember that I found Friday the 13th for the C64 _far_ more terrifying than even Doom on the PC. Similar with Force 7 and Aliens for the C64, in which the landing sequence made you think you were playing Master of Lamps and then boom, you were screwed.

Weirdly, I also remember Prince of Persia for DOS being kind of scary in an atmospheric way. It was one game that I'd usually quit after too long when playing it alone at home. Terminator Rampage was atmospherically intense and I couldn't play that one for long either.

Apogee and Microprose games in general were way easier on the atmospheric tension...some Blake Stone followed by Aces of the Pacific and then a bit of FastTracker II was so often my jam. Good memories...
So who did the actual leading of these company, if Musk was just promoting things. Who made the important technical and financial choices? Who hired the important people?

Maybe its more accurate to say that Musk is simply good at leading technical companies?

You mean his employees? Most of them don't seem feverish.

And if you mean people that are not his employees how does that have anything to do with SpaceX?
Title is clickbait, which this entire thread has fallen for. Tipping is mentioned in two paragraphs out of an entire article worth of eminently reasonable requests and terms. Who knows what the actual context is. Maybe this was a half-hearted idea that was tossed into a long list. Bloomberg just chose to zero in on it as a title to make the union seem deranged.
yeah, I don't disagree, however this idea is better a function I use within gpt-index or langchain. There is a horse race and we're all making our bets about who's going to win
As I understand it the approach here is to use an approximate nearest neighbor database to retrieve highly relevant tokens from across large documents using the existing attention heads. So each attention head retrieves context from entire document. They say this can work without fine tuning, but performance improves with it. This is apparently extending this piece of prior work, but they've managed to re-range the linear algebra of attention so they only need one database for all attention heads across all layers of the model. I'm a bit confused how attention would here for layers below the top and a bit confused about how position is encoded for tokens across a long document like this.
I suspect this is an attempt to highlight the 10% pay increase demand and to be “sacrificed” in negotiation to protect it, but I could be wrong.
Common law marriages are not as easy to happen by accident as many people assume. Living together doesn't matter. Common law marriage, in every state I've checked, requires that you have a ceremony and present yourself as a "married couple" publicly. You have to go around telling people you're married for it to matter.

Unions in safe jobs once again showing why they're mostly a clown show.
I tried HTMX. The static typing just isn't there between the components you send down and the rest of the page. This makes maintenance of a large HTMX app pretty costly. For simple stuff, it's probably fine, but large complicated web apps, I'm not seeing it. Mixing HTML fragments from the server into the client is pretty messy. Keeping all the rendering in one place à la React seems much simpler to maintain. With Next for example you can pre-render on the server, and re-render on the client - the same code is doing the rendering in both places so a bit more easier to understand.
To be fair, that is probably partially fallout from the Canadian content regulations and possibly other law regarding corporate ownership. Not sure because it has been over two decades since I was current in that stuff.

That's redundant and an invocation of the No True Scotsman fallacy. The cronyism is an inherent feature of capitalism, not a bug. There are no real-world examples of non-crony capitalism.

I'd love to have something that could create daily summaries of private Twitter lists that I use to track developments in AI. The audio part would be great to consume during my re-emerging commute to the office. I would imagine this would be a pretty cool thing to have for any information worker as well. The difference is that this would be for an audience of 1.

> The workers’ negotiators also want Apple to adopt a tipping system, letting patrons offer gratuities in increments of 3%, 5% or a custom amount for in-store credit-card transactions.

> “This will allow thankful patrons the ability to express gratitude for a job well done without any obligations,” the union wrote Apple. “All monies collected through this manner would be dispersed to members of the bargaining unit biweekly based on any hours worked.”

That’s it. The entirety of the rest of the article is not focused on tipping.
In 2019, 14.4 percent of kids in this country, 10.46 million children, were living in poverty as measured by the official U.S poverty rate. This is higher than the share of adults age 18 to 64 (9.4%) and higher than the share of those 65 and over (8.9%) who live in poverty (see chart).

https://econofact.org/child-poverty-in-the-u-s#:~:text=In%20....

For children in poor families, the opportunity to work is the opportunity to have a better life in the present and lay the foundation for a better future.

For people being all "won't you think of the children," most of the time people up on their high horse are all for taking away options from poor people without doing anything to actually address the underlying issues. It almost always amounts to making things worse, not better, for the target demographic.

I am not convinced of the utility of how good type annotations are in the long term.

I think static typing is a very fundamental part of language design that affects the entire language. To make static typing ergonomic without massive boilerplate, you also need concepts like generics, co and contra-variance, type inference, and other things that dynamically typed languages never have to really concern themselves with.

When you try to bolt it on afterwards, I think you can end up with a lot of foot guns and corner cases and a false sense of security.

Neural networks were known as being "always second best" for many decades not that long ago...

Its very possible (highly likely even) that elements of gofai end up being implemented into some of the upcoming RL/GNN combo based architectures. I highly doubt that the transformer will be the end-all-be-all for generating representations.
At the very least, many of those 'in-the-know' around these GNNs realize that sheaf-NNs are much more expressive and can yield far better general results if improved properly for long range dependences - perhaps with a performer or longformer -like addition.

Ultimately, some of the best researchers in the field (Velockovic is one of the best, and heavily focused on dynamic programming for example) are not just focused on the transformer or any of the hype around it right now. In order to improve, you have to look elsewhere. Understanding old methods is typically a great resource to draw that inspiration / algorithm from.

Ask HN: Did JSON array order used to be a problem?
Now-a-days everyone seems to rely on json that sends ["a","b","c"] over the wire will be parsed and stay in that order.

But years ago I remember developers telling me that certain languages json parsing languages implemented arrays differently so you could never rely on the order and had to do stuff like:

[{"a", "sort": 1},{"b", "sort": 2}, {"c", "sort": 3}]

because the client parsing that might end up with:

[{"c", "sort": 3},{"a", "sort": 1},{"b", "sort": 2}]

and then you'd have to re-sort it yourself. Was this a myth? Did old json parsers really have this problem?
> I forgot about iced tea, but I'm under the impression that how popular it is depends on the region of the US you're talking about. I don't see a lot of people drinking iced tea in my area, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone make it for themselves.

Sweet tea is quite regional (the South).

Iced tea's popular in much of the country, but I think making it at home has dropped off just like making many other things at home has (how many people make their own stock or broth anymore?). These days, a gallon of store-brand iced tea is just about the cheapest drink most grocery stores stock—barely more expensive than making it at home, really, so why bother?

[EDIT] For foreigners wondering WTF the difference is between proper sweet tea and normal iced tea with sugar added: you add the sugar during or before steeping, while the water's nice and hot, and, usually, you add a lot of it. The difference in the finished product is kinda like the difference between making a mixed drink with simple syrup, versus using granulated sugar. You can cleanly dissolve a lot more sugar in hot water than cold (see again: simple syrup), and it tends to stay well-dissolved even when it cools. It's commonly believed that it also affects the flavor, not just texture and level-of-sweetness, but that may just be in our heads (I think it does, too, but can't explain why—it's not like we caramelize the sugar or anything like that)
> That's a pretty incomplete view of how jurisdiction works. You do probably need a US court ruling to enforce a claim against a US entity – but if that entity has any EU subsidiaries or assets, you can bet that European courts will come after those.

The thing is, any annoyance in the stdlib you can paper over with gems if you want, and still be able to keep using all the libraries out there.

As for the type checking, Ruby is getting more and more opt in type checking, so that reason is slowly diminishing as well.
I'm guessing that the tips is more a bargaining tactic than a real ask. They're also asking for 45 paid days off for "bereavement leave" including for the death of a close friend or pet. 45 days of paid leave would be over 2 months off. It seems unlikely that a company would consider 2 months paid leave for the death of a pet. Imagine employees buying goldfish.

Few problems - this is a lot of overhead for you I think, and it'll be hard to measure the strength of one candidate vs another.

Also, a lot of SWEs most significant code bases they've worked on will not be theirs, but property of a previous employer.

The best I've figured out is to have a straightforward coding exercise that doesn't have a lot of dependencies and can be solved fairly quickly in any language the candidate chooses. Do this live in one of your interview sessions - I don't like take-home stuff, it discourages above-average candidates.

Have a couple places where they could chose the wrong data structure or algorithm. And have a follow-up that modifies the first solution to do something slightly different. Give this same exercise to all candidates - you'll more easily know if candidate A is better than candidate B, etc.
ohhh I agree sooo much with this.

And also, the very concept of hiding "complex" options under a "more options" option. Windows 11's new right-click menu in the file explorer is one such example. Every time I had to press "refresh" I now have to do two clicks instead of one. Because someone at Microsoft feels like I should be punished for wanting to do something not many people do all the time.

Luckily this particular nonsense can be switched off in the registry. But many can't.

The person you are replying to said neither of these things. Unions, like most human institutions, have their pros and cons. They generally try to pursue the interests of their members, but their members are human and as humans, sometimes things go sideways or ultimately are self-destructive.

Unions on balance do generally improve the lives of their members, but only an idiot would unconditionally approve of everything they do.
Ouch!

I’ve worked in two kinds of organizations. In one of them when there is a ‘small’ ticket from the viewpoint of management, one programmer is responsible for implementation but might get some help from a specialist (DBA, CSS god, …)

In the other a small ticket gets partitioned to two, three or more sub teams and productivity is usually reduced by a factor more than the concurrency you might get because of overhead with meetings, documentation, tickets that take 3 sprints to finish because subtasks that were one day late caused the team to lose a whole sprint, etc.

People will defend #2 by saying thar’s how Google does it or that’s how Facebook does it, but those monopolists get monopoly rents that subsidize wasteful practices and if wall street ever asks for “M0R M0NEY!” they can just jack up the ad load.
