Some people unfortunately have no choice regarding living alone versus taking on roommates or moving back in with family (and this isn’t an option for everyone). Thankfully in my situation I can shoulder my upcoming rent increase without needing to contemplate roommates or moving back with my parents.

For me the big problem is the purchase prices. I’m not going to get a six-figure windfall; my parents are low-income and can’t provide down payment assistance, and I don’t work for FAANG and thus I have no RSUs, instead relying on salary and annual bonuses. It will take me over a decade to save even $100k, which isn’t enough for a down payment. Then there are the actual mortgage payments.

I see the writing on the wall. I will need to leave Silicon Valley eventually, barring either a major drop in housing prices or a major rise in my compensation. I have no idea where I’d move to; I’m a lifelong Californian who was raised in Sacramento and whose only significant periods of time out of state were in Tokyo (eight months) and Seattle (one summer). But a move is looking inevitable.
Platform Capitalism Can't Surveil Absurdism (and Worse)
You bottled up exactly my disappointment with some large companies' legacy AI offerings. They don't do both: iterate off of telemetry data and fulfill user's needs.
> Show me another profession that can have such a dramatic impact on the bottom line where your work makes the company 100x-1000x your salary.

High frequency trading / propriety trading firms (buy-side) make FANG TC look like public teacher TC.

400-600K USD for 22-year old new grads. With 5 YOE, TC of $1M+ is not uncommon . If you do really well, $10M+ annual TC is possible with 5-10 YOE.

Even mid-career employees get fixed % cut of company profits. I’m not even talking about the company partners either.

So yes, FANG SWEs are underpaid.
What would you see as a better term/phrase?

Yeah, no one is going to change short selling rules any time soon because it's all jus t made up crap and rumors from WSB to pump GME.

Hate to break it to ya, but you're getting played of you actually think the problem here was short selling.

The problem is that skittery online retail can be so openly manipulated to believe such conspiracies and that this leads to the profits of the small leaders of the crowd.
That's the thing though, we shouldn't be seeing a decline in living standards. Technology, productivity, efficiency are all up dramatically. We just have an oligarchic ruling class sucking up all the difference.
SodaStream is much better for the environment, but it’s also really not the same thing.

I was so disappointed when many of our local restaurants stopped serving bottles of San Pellegrino, and instead switched to whatever the commercial food service equivalent of a SodaStream is.
I just started adding TVs to more rooms: the office, the garage, and now thinking maybe the bathroom. TV makes boring things less boring, like cooking, working out, and getting ready.
> ensure you get the ones you want

Also to try to avoid having to special-case any logic in terraform etc.

Say you're working on a family of sites for tradespeople like plumber.io, electrician.io, carpenter.io, etc. A fair number of people from India have "occupational surnames" like Miller, Contractor, Builder, Sheriff, etc. Suddenly one Mr. Dev Contractor registers a bucket "contractor-dev" and you have to special-case your bucket names in your terraform.
FWIW, I love the taste of coffee, probably more than chocolate. I prefer coffee flavored desserts over chocolate desserts. But I don't drink coffee very often.
Yeah, oil reserves take ongoing effort to dig up & mine.
Perhaps not all of them, but you could certainly choose to keep some.

On the other hand, perhaps you could. Just dividing the numbers out doesn’t account for whatever value they’re producing.
None of your posts look flagged to me, but I suspect it was automatic due to votes or flagging which was likely from people responding to your attitude, which is histrionic in its defense of a group defined by attitudes others find loathsome.
Same, since leaving for uni I've not had a TV. My mum keeps the TV on all the time for company or something, which is very annoying when you call up and its blaring out in the background. She doesn't turn it down for video calls either.

Now that I've got my own kids we still don't have a TV. We've just a few laptops so streaming shows can be watched wherever.

So is hathora only for games? I wanted to try it out so I signed up and went through the docs only to discover the Dockerfile docs don't even exist yet?
There is a single solution for this – build more housing. Yet that option still remains unpopular, even among people who cannot afford housing. Blaming leaders is pointless. Instead organize and convince your neighborhood NIMBYs to change their minds.
So... Four years? The 1080 launched in 2016, and the 3070 launched in 2020, for $100 cheaper — the launch price of the 1080 was $699, and the 3070 was $599. The 3070 easily trounced the 1080 in benchmarks.

The 3060 effectively matched a 1080 at $329 in 2021 (and has 50% more VRAM at 12GB instead of the 1080's 8GB), so call it five years if the 3070 isn't mid-range enough.

The 3060 Ti launched in 2022 at $399 and handily beat the 1080 on benchmarks, so call it six years if you want the midrange card to beat (not just match) the previous top-of-the-line card, and if a *70 card doesn't count as midrange enough. Less than a decade still seems like a reasonable claim for a midrange card to beat a top-of-the-line card.
Right. My point is that before it was score political points against political opposition. However, that Republican opposition back then was still catering to regular rich people who don’t want the US to actually default just for the lulz and to pwn the libs.

The current lot in charge is more of the “burn it all down” sort which isn’t catering to regular rich people, but rather is catering to QAnon’ers. So, it’s less clear that it’s all just posturing and how far they’ll go with such posturing.
You probably don’t know or don’t care, but most of Apple’s current logistic/infrastructure was built under Steve. Steve’s connections in China played a big role in accomplishing that.
Sadly, you can’t replicate San Pellegrino using tap water and a co2 tank.
> and even I know the song well enough

There's some selection bias here - you're saying this because you are familiar with that song and reading this. But, ask lots of people to choose a song that they are most familiar with and you'll likely find you know a tiny % of them.
Sounds a bit like premature optimization ( to have done it _by_ now ) , I bet it's in the works now though.
Absolutely. And what gets lost so often is that the population is still set to approach 10 billion over the next century and either flatten or gradually decrease back to levels still above where we are now by 2200. There is currently no projection that I’m aware of that has the population of the earth actually declining from current levels in the next 200 years. And that is without even taking into account any improvements in the health of older people leading to longer, healthier lives.
Agree. Worked in the first group as well and it paid well and legit valued it's employees. The hours became a bit abusive at the end so I followed one of my bosses there to a firm he went to. But that's how I made the jump to 4x.
I was in Japan recently and they sell these pocket size translator devices with a microphone, camera and screen. You can speak to it or take pictures and it will translate on the fly. Maybe $100 usd range for a nice one.

It's only a matter of time before someone makes a similar device with a decent LLM on it, and premium ones will have more memory/cpu power.
I just bought a win 10 mini pc for $91. It's insane.

It's back up to $99 now (I got it discounted). It works fine.

The problem is that I can't think of a reason not to apply this same concern to basically all knowledge work -- once it can code new wrappers, it'll probably also be obsoleting huge swathes of other skillsets. And given current models, that really doesn't seem that far off. Personally it kinda feels like working at a company with impending layoffs...

But somehow my landlord isn't taking that as an excuse to stop working?? B.S.
> That is ℝ[X]/≺X²≻.

Aren't these the same way of thinking?
Not sure as I’m not yet familiar enough with the types of errors occurring. I do think a somewhat more accurate and possibly technical set of terms would be more useful for discussions about it though than hallucination.
> Honestly, I can't see Google failing here. Like other tech giants, they're sitting on a ridiculously large war chest. Worst case, they can wait for the space to settle a bit and spend a few billion to buy the market leader.

It seems incredibly likely that the FTC will block that. New leadership seems to be of the opinion that consumer harm is the wrong standard. Buying the competition with profits from a search monopoly leaves all parties impoverished.

Anyways, I don't think the risk is failure, but of non-success. The article claims meta won but it seems like nvidia is the winner: everyone uses their chipsets for training, fine tuning and inference. And the more entrants and niche applications show up the more demand there is for their product. TPUs theoretically play into this, but the "leak" doesn't mention them at all.
Someone made a great comment about the matrix approach to teaching the derivative and deleted it, maybe because it wasn't rigorous. Seems like "Differentiation Matrices" is the technical term: https://tobydriscoll.net/fnc-julia/bvp/diffmats.html
Who is on the board ? Often CEOs float around between boards, they are almost never going to decrease the pay or not raise it, unlike how it works for the rest of us.
The problem is that the llms are better at search (for an open ended question) than Google is and that’s where most of googles revenue comes from. So it actually gives a new company like openai the opportunity to change consumers destinations from google
In this case, I agree something more descriptive would have been helpful. Even the comments have been mysterious, given the linked web site only returns "429 Too Many Requests".
People like to make it sound like running your own server/service is impossible - completely forgetting that's how everything was done not that long ago.

Some wiz-bang new graduates calling themselves Engineers probably haven't a clue - sure, but for everyone else, you probably still have folks employed that did just that on a professional level.

It's not hard - and often it's less expensive. Particularly for a turn-key paid product like Github Enterprise or GitLab.
Now imagine Clippy on a car touchscreen.
There is no ethical way to do control tests on humans. Proof is not in the realm of biology, risk management is.
Let's consider what Google did to the previous paradigm: libraries and books.

Books had editors and were expensive to publish, which imparted some automatic credibility. You might even have involved a librarian or other expert in your search. So a lot of the credibility problem was solved for you, up-front, once you got the information source.

Google changed the game. It gave you results instantly, from sources that it guessed looked reliable. But you still had to ascertain credibility yourself. And you might even look at two or three pages on the same topic, quickly.

Google has been mostly defeated now and often none of the links it suggests are any good. That trade-off seems to be done.

Here comes LLMs. Now it's transferring even more of the work of assessing credibility to the end user. But the benefit is that you can get very tailored answers to your exact query; it's basically writing a web page just for you in real time.

I think the applications that win in this new era will have to make that part of their business model. In science fiction, AIs were infallible oracles. In the real world it looks like they'll be tireless research assistants with an incredible breadth of book-learning to start from but little understanding of the real world. So you'll have a conversation as you both converge on the answer.

AD has been a round since at least 1957 (the oldest reference to the class of technique I could find). When I studied it (from a CAS/PLT angle), it was considered a good middle-ground technique between symbolic methods & giving up. You can trace the result of the AD and recover a polynomial solution near the expected results (like a profile guided Taylor expansion, I guess?). It allowed us to run Buchberger's on algorithmic objects without analytic forms, and still have a chance at getting a complete basis for the antiderivative.

Where do I buy
There's no meaningful benefit of this over a password and 2FA authentication for users who are already proactive about security. I also doubt that passkeys will be protected by the fifth amendment the way passwords are, based on the "key vs combination" argument. While I trust Google password manager to help me remember passwords and even use sign in with google, I don't want to let Google or any company to manage my initial method of authentication for me.

At their core, passkeys are a easy and nice way to move from passwords to public private key cryptography. And hardware based authentication does allow more security. And by leveraging the tpm, hardware-backed keystore, or security enclave, you can use your phone and computer the way FIDO keys are already used.

But there are many reasons why I will wait as long as possible, maybe indefinitely before I start using passkeys. The idea of this being tied to Google or any other major company for my logins is not okay. There are many cases of people being locked out of Google accounts without the ability to appeal. I don't appreciate the idea of large companies being able to whitelist which passkeys are allowed, which is possible depending on how attestation certificates are handled. With current 2factor, you can control the secrets yourself if you choose to. While it's true that you can't be phished into sharing your passkey as easily, you also lose a lot of convience and flexibility in login management. And it makes login sharing or multi-account management very inconvenient and difficult.

I was hopeful with 2FA rolled out that my accounts would be more secure, but most companies give you very little control over which methods of 2FA are allowed or enabled. I don't want to be forced to enroll a phone number just to enable TOTP 2FA. I want to be able to choose between TOTP or HOTP for my accounts. I don't want to be forced to use a 2FA app that doesn't allow me to export and manage the secrets myself. In some ways FIDO keys solve some of those issues, but the hardware security aspect of it contradicts giving the end user the choice to self manage. I expect some policies will change over time based on uptake and issues people face.

Edit:
Apparently, in iOS and Android, passkeys are backed up to the cloud, and iOS even allows you to airdrop them.

Bloomberg's headline very different vs the actual conclusion of the study: "Young males might be particularly susceptible to the effects of cannabis on schizophrenia. At a population level, assuming causality, one-fifth of cases of schizophrenia among young males might be prevented by averting CUD. Results highlight the importance of early detection and treatment of CUD and policy decisions regarding cannabis use and access, particularly for 16–25-year-olds."
What a genuinely vulgar comp package.
Nobody is trying to change short selling rules. Like I said, this wasn't a rebellion against short selling.

Also, this is all verifiable information. I'd encourage you to confirm what it is that I'm saying.

Benjamin Graham said that in the short term, the stock market is a voting machine, and in the long term a weighing machine. None of this is anything new. It's just the speed at which information travels that has changed.
I think we as humans have a tendency to extrapolate from our present position to a position we can imagine that we’d like, even if there isn’t a foreseeable path from here to there. I believe this may end up being one of those cases.
It's a fair criticism but I don't feel so fatalistic. This would look a lot different if everyone was opening this post on their own home server instead of chaos.social.

Unfortunately there's no way to construct a link that references the post but opens where it belongs for you. I think there needs to be a fediverse URL protocol to solve for this, ie this HN post would link to `fedi://@jonty@chaos.social/110307532009155432`, then when people clicked it they wouldn't have to talk to chaos.social, because it would be opened at their home server.

Another option could be a 'copy link for public access' that generates a static page for the purpose of sharing widely.

Journalists and media could also run their own server which is scaled for the traffic they expect, and mirror the post there. The main problem is linking to the source of the post instead of linking to a federated representation of it.
Do you think the failure was tactical failures or strategic failures? Other companies seem to bring new categories of business with success. Why could Microsoft launch a game platform and be successful but google couldn’t? Why is an e-commerce company leading cloud computing?
I am surprised that people aren't using google colab pro/pro+ in this context. You basically get access to multiple A100 for $10/month and with some simple javascript tricks, you can get a session to last for 24hrs at least.

Pro+ is more expensive at $50/mo but it allows for more simplified background execution. if you are only just getting started and don't expect to be training for multiple months, then colab or other cloud-notebook providers are really great to start.
It's not on accident. There's SLA's and other things on the line when the status page officially recognizes an outage.
Relevant aside: while the Ryujinx Avalonia UI has more features and is generally nicer, due to a small number of outstanding issues, Ryujinx uses an older GTK+ UI in its default builds.

Avalonia builds are, however, readily available with each release, and auto-update just like standard GTK+ builds.

> The rescue of Salyut 7 has sometimes been compared to the ill-fated flight of Apollo 13: both missions involved dead and freezing spacecraft that put human lives at risk,

This risk was voluntary - since the power failures happened when nobody was occupying the station, the mission planners could have just let the station die. Apollo 13 (Or the fire on Mir) was not - as human lives were imminently at risk, until the problems could be repaired.

Absolutely incredible work went into rescuing the craft in both situations. I can't imagine what it would be like to try to manually dock with an unresponsive, free-spinning space station.
perf/watt/density would be the best way to measure. Frequency should NOT be normalized because x86 chips are designed to be high frequency parts. That is why measuring IPC is meaningless. A cutting edge ARM chip can possibly beat a modern x86 chip in terms of IPC, but the x86 chip will almost certainly scale to higher frequencies. Certain models of EPYC Genoa (Zen 4) for example, boost to 4GHz, and both Intel and AMD have chips that boost to 5.7+ GHz.

Density is important because if you can only have a max of, for example, 20 cores for an ARM solution, but 96 cores in the case of EPYC Genoa, Genoa is going to win out for any multi-core workload.

True; but the division vs regex example that I replied to was also 'easily decided bg greedy character matching and easily resolved.

I don't know how JS (implementations) actually does it, but this is what I meant by the line being a bit arbitrary, in my limited experience - you can just lex 'forward slash token' or whatever and keep your lexer/parser separation even with this ambiguity.
First of all, I don’t care if they are well payed, their bosses and shareholders are still taking more profits than they deserve.

Second, Google’s workers famously include many many contractors who do not get the same benefits as Google’s direct employees. This is exploitation.

Third, the exploitation runs deeper than just google workers. Their customers include companies which are paying a bunch of money to use their services. This is money which otherwise could have gone to the developers of those customers. Those workers are also exploited by google’s bosses and shareholders.

CEO pay is a market rate. This is not much different than complaining about the price point of gas, or milk, or eggs.

You can describe it as being too high in your opinion, or not worth it in your opinion, but that's completely different than pretending that its not being set by the market (and approved by the board) weighing myriad inputs. And btw, one of those inputs is...the ability to successfully tighten the belt and restructure costs to hit numbers.

Make the case to fire Pichai if you want, I'm fine with that, but recognize that you're going to pay "replacement cost" at the same rate or higher for someone else. That's showbiz baby.
Yeah my setup is pretty basic, but it's absolutely killer IMO :)
