I think they want to feel important. Most people aren’t rational, the pay grade doesn’t change the emotional roller coaster that much because people feel bad for themselves when look up the ladder.

A 500K salary and working at a prestigious company will impress a lot of people but those in that position will be exposed to the existence of much greater wealth and much more accomplished people. This will make them feel like unremarkable failure.

In this particular case though, it appears than someone was just boosting to their sibling.
And the God(damn) Particle also comes to mind.
Ask HN: Is it bad to admit mistakes you made as a SWE?
Recently, my manager has been using my basic mistakes (like not understanding a code base that I'm brand new to in a new language) and using that as a talking point of "you're not performing as well as your peers".

I thought making mistakes as a SWE is part of the job. We can fix things relatively quickly and in most cases nobody gets hurts or loses money, but I'm starting to wonder if I should keep my mistakes to myself?

Edit: I should explain my manager is relatively new to the role.
HN/Reddit : For years, "I'm happy to pay for services that has no/few ads".

HN/Reddit: Why are you asking me to subscribe? I hate this
Anecdotes are not real world statistics. Most people wouldn't identify a flipped bit of memory that caused a web page to glitch in their browser as a hardware problem. They'll just write it off as general enshittification of the web.
Yes I believe so. Unless I particularly ask for it, even security updates should be kept manual.

I hate security updates that has zero impact on my use case to be applied automatically.

Like a fix for amd64 arch applied for an app currently only running on arm64.
I've said before that it gets tiring playing word games to avoid the suggestion that certain natural pressures have personal agency. Information wants to be free like a rock wants to roll downhill.
The Librem 5 (non USA) is $1300[0] today with an advertised 52 week lead time.

The $599 price point you paid does not exist today and buying a PinePhone usually nets you a phone inside of a couple weeks where your Librem 5 probably arrived on the scale of years. It's quite the tenuous comparison.

That argument scales to any market segment. And it's not always the absolute cost of maintenance, but the decreasing value of performing it. Welcome to American West.
GPT-4 also reaches out for Mutex. Which I think is fair - it really is the easiest way to solve the literal problem presented to it, after all.

OTOH given "write a lock implementation in Rust without using existing standard library synchronization primitives", both try to implement a spinlock. But GPT-4 knows about compare_and_swap, whereas Bard appears to believe that spinning on load(SeqCst) followed by store(SeqCst) is sufficient to synchronize with other threads.

But a task like that is more likely to depend at how much Rust code each model was trained on rather than its capability to reason.
Because it’s giving money to Google? Plus half the problem is the tracking, they’re not going to stop tracking me if I pay them, and then I have to use it logged in which just makes the tracking easier.
That snow will then still be on the warehouse roof though.

But I wonder if some "maintenance bot" could eventually become established that's designed around the benefits of the regular grid structure. Perhaps "walking" from socket to socket like a gravity-well capable descendant of Canadarm? Wouldn't start as snowplows, but for maintenance tasks at lower frequency, large solar parks could even make very expensive units worthwhile, and from there the magic of mass market might bring prices down sufficiently far.
Generally speaking, leakers who get caught aren't very smart.

I’m curious what they had been referring to at the time? Was AlphaFold out then? Or were they just clueless?
No, it doesn’t. Here’s the full quote from their website:

> seL4 is the world’s fastest operating system kernel designed for security and safety

Linux is arguably not designed for security and safety but it blows seL4 out of the water when it comes to performance. There’s a reason it only gets used in contexts where security is critical; I would have expected that you would be aware of this considering you were the one who is promoting it.
I’m comparing sentiment, hype, upvoting, etc on a particular topic. I think HN isn’t what it used to be but maybe that’s me having old man syndrome. People on HN are happy discussing boring apps on iPad and crapping on all things Google instead of the gold rush of new functionality driven by AI. I’ll just say I’m not the only one that thinks this judging by the response and upvotes on my observation
In that sense, it's very similar to the GPT-4 Technical Report.

The era of being "open" about LLMs or other "secret sauce" models in published papers may be over, since these things have become existential threats to companies.
It is complicated.

AMI sells a bmc software stack, https://www.ami.com/megarac/
Intel and small manufacturer were unhappy, about always paying the ami tax. So intel created openbmc, as a hedge against ami's monopoly for small manufacturers. I have heard Openbmc has user from facebook, google, ibm, bytdance, and ali.

Dell owns their own stack in idrac, I have heard most of their systems are nuvoton based. I am suspect dell pays some big bucks to keep their systems at feature parity with the other options, and they view it as a an investment.

There are also silicon devices on the motherboard, that have drivers that are not able to be shared. So it not surprising that companies don't share source in a way that would be useful.

If you wanted a system that as a bmc that could be tested try the asrock-e3c246d4c, it looks like there are hobbyist, that have it running coreboot, and openbmc. (impressively)

Youtube has a monopoly on online video content. It is extortion

Before they had the total monopoly, they had very few ads. Now they have the monopoly, so they are extorting us because of it
And back in the peak covid days they asked for donations to keep them alive and operational. They wanted the community to support them based on goodwill and now they seem happy to burn that goodwill to the ground.
I'm never going back. I only type and respond to things unfolded, I have big hands and the split keyboard + bigger buttons are great. Outside of that I'm a fairly big reader and I enjoy reading both articles and books unfolded and have no interest in bringing a second device to do so.

I also write notes with stylus on it which is practical unfolded. More real estate for video etc. And then I can just fold it and use it as a phone for calls.
They did! They just lowered their body temperature by ~37 degrees and moved 2 meters underground.

Some people do consider this a sub-optimal outcome.

Alpaca uses this already.

And people wonder why health care in America costs so much. You have two businesses (at least one of which is totally removed from the services being provided) trying to scam each other every time someone goes to the doctor.
All this will do is amplify the rise of paid spam for product promotions.

What is the best network monitoring tool? Oh wow, Bard says it is, “NetShark”.

I will formulate my own thoughts on this in the next 6 months. If serious damage is about to happen (to SEOs) then I fully expect huge swings in traffic for a lot of sites, which is easy to monitor.

Google also said they are rolling out another helpful content update soon. I wonder how much they have integrated LLMs into the search updates for processing text for sentiment and maybe even accuracy.
Having worked across multiple of the FAANGs, I would not trust joining them right now. They have not shown they will stop layoffs and morale has to be dropping as they each (most of them) do multiple rounds instead of the normally suggested single cut.
Oh great, yet another way for Google to return junk pages I didn't ask for because "I think you meant xyz." No I did not. I meant exactly the keywords I asked for you stupid bozo bot.

It's already impossible to search for web pages that contain the actual keywords I asked for; it used to be that you could surround your keywords with double-quote marks but that stopped working some time ago.

There's a market for a dumb search engine that just finds literal keywords and doesn't use AI. Of course it won't be very useful for selling ads.
I found this interesting: comparable iPad model includes a stylus, while the Pixel Tablet comes with a speaker-dock.

Personally I think the hands-optional "home console" angle is more compelling than the "digital paper" angle when it comes to tablets.
The nature of the universe is to tend toward heat death. Meanwhile, here and now, the nature of information is to either reproduce (to be free) _or else_ dissolve into entropy.
Carl Icahn’s Firm Faces Federal Inquiry
Wrong. The low-quality content farm will be out and the high-quality site will be fully paywalled (no more data to AI).

For instance, when searching for information on setting up RDS, like high availability MySQL on self-hosted servers on-premises, neither ChatGPT nor Brad provided the necessary details. I would not make a publicly searchable blog or Github repository if I were well-versed in setting such RDS on-premises. Instead, I would make it available only behind a paywall. Why should Google and MS/Bing benefit from my hard work if they do not direct traffic to my site? Previously, low- or high-quality pages benefited from SEO, but that is no longer true. There is a wealth of knowledge that has not yet been documented. Unless Google or Bing starts directing many traffic, experts, and websites will not share updated and other valuable information. I anticipate more paywalls for high-quality content, similar to good news sites.

Besides that, be careful about wishing for one or two centralized sites controlled by big tech giants with AIs such as Google and Microsoft. The web developed because of many 3rd party websites.

I don't have answers on how good 3rd party sites will survive with Google/Bing sending traffic and Ad clicks, but the equation is about SEO changing. Either you create non-profit Wikipedia-style content or high-quality content paywalled. That is my best guess.

The mask flip-flopping was unbelievable. In the beginning: masks are not effective, don't use them, stay six feet away. Then, some point later: you're careless and irresponsible of you do not wear masks as you will infect other people. Then, later, We're not sure about six feet, that was an old study regarding droplets and not aerosols. Oh, Covid transmits via droplets and aerosols, so masks are ineffective. Get the vaccine, two shots. No, no, wait, you'll need a booster... Wait, no, you need another one. Wait, wait, you'll need one every few months. Oh and wearing masks can have negative cognitive and health effects if you wear them for a prolonged amount of time. 1000+ days later, the 15 day flatten the curve emergency decree is over!

Now, I'm all for vaccines but I want proven vaccines not half-arsed vaccines approved after a 6 month study on efficacy and adverse effects.

Damn it, they should have had a dedicated team studying these exact things fomr the get-go but mr know it all Faucci was adamant he knew what he was talking about.

They should have been forthright and been truthful with people instead of spoon-feeding them and gaslighting them. We're adults, we can understand we're figuring things out and it's an emergent pandemic --but boy, the propaganda.
I would classify anything that tries to butt up against the edge of a lot to be the first sign of grotesqueness. I will never understand the American obsession with quantity over quality.
"pwned" is from a late-90s StarCraft custom map where the map creator typo'd "owned" as "pwned" in a message that popped up when one player beat another.
There's not much difference in battery usage between hardware batches, the improvements were mostly in software. The battery capacity has changed though - the earliest batches that some early backers opted to receive had a 2000mAh battery, while later ones had 3600mAh one. The mass produced version ended up with 4500mAh.

The early batches shipped with early software, and that was actually the biggest contributor to bad battery life and (now long solved) overheating issues.
Hmm, I've had only one experience but it was positive. Last year I had a CrowdSupply order fulfilled via Mouser, it arrived reasonably fast and there was no hassle with customs (I'm in EU).
Long COVID, from what I can tell / have read, is acknowledged by research[1][2]. The mechanism of it, and what is the best treatment for the people suffering from it, I think, are still the subject of ongoing research.

(etc.; there are numerous studies that are not hard to find?)
The argument being made is that Google’s consent for tracking asserted in their ToS is not “valid” (admittedly, my word) because a law (the authority) says it is so. This is ignoring that my argument just happens to disagree with this authority.

I think it’s because I said “valid” which might sound like valid “in terms of the law” (and that’s actually still debatable). I mean to say it more philosophically. Per my opinion, it’s “valid” as informed consent for new accounts. Basically, I’m arguing that these “many places” shouldn’t have made this form of consent legally invalid if that is indeed the case. (Of course, it gets hairier when considering existing accounts and unilateral changes to the ToS; I still don’t exactly think I am mistaken with my understanding but I seem to have expressed it poorly.)

John le Carré’s books contain many such pearls.

They also tend to omit that at the time of the buyout Marvel was at a sales (and in many ways creative) nadir. It was hardly a media juggernaut. They actually went bankrupt in the late 90s, and it was only Carl Icahn buying much of their outstanding debt for Pennie’s on the dollar (and then firing basically all of the then-current board) that kept them from going under totally.

This one was surprising to me, as, while I have always seen the EFF come out for Network Neutrality, they have always fought vehemently against this principle when it comes to services higher up the stack as part of their defense of Section 230. While I believe there is some line that can carefully be drawn here, I want to see the EFF actually draw it so I can tell if their position is going to now be more consistent.
You shouldn't have to put yourself at risk like that.

This is also why I’ve been recommending people to focus on small company roles. The big techs have too many internal folks who may have their job cut, and they also have recruiting orgs (mostly still) that are willing to burn your time without making sure the job will still be there after you spend all your time interviewing for them.

I think the idea behind the folding form factor is that you don't have to lug it around, since it's in the same shape as a regular phone whenever you're not using it (and I don't think people consider having a phone in their pocket "lugging it around").

Because an article isn't a snippet?

People who just want a basic factual answer to a question won't go to your site, they'll use Google's snippet as they already do now in many cases.

But people who want to read your whole article will continue to go to your site.

This seems entirely reasonable to me. I shouldn't have to visit a webpage to discover when Abraham Lincoln was born, but I should if I want to read a short bio of him.

It's very clear that the current Bard model is weaker than the largest PaLM 2 model. But for certain things, Bard seems worse than even the smallest model described. It's hard to say without someone doing a comprehensive benchmark, but the artifically limited context size makes testing useless for data.

The model was surprisingly confident when I tried to ask it about the relationship between better language comprehension and parameter size. The coherence displayed by the model, when it argued that a smaller model size will be capable of matching and surpassing competitive model performance, was a little jarring. Especially when, in the question right before, it said that the large PaLM 2 model has 540 trillion parameters.
Sorry, I didn't really mean to direct the comment at yours, but rather intended to build upon it. I meet a lot of folks around here who point to the Texas grid failure and snicker about how much better California is at regulating the grid. Yet I routinely put up with outages longer than Austin's under less-severe conditions.
> But why do these protocols need built-in economics?

I believe, in this time of humanity where economy matters, that Blockchains have built-in economics for two reasons:

1. They all started copying Bitcoin, which by nature is an economic system (this is the goal of the Bitcoin's paper).
2. Reward by money is a common way to attract a sustainable amount of active users that keep the network alive without evil intention appart from making "quick bucks". In contract to volunteer networks such as Tor, where a lot (even a majority) of nodes are run by gov. agencies with the goal of identifying users, popular blockchains are still run properly since users are focusing on money and not destroying the network.
Even robots need energy. If the robots produce the stuff, the robots are "the economy", even if money isn't involved. And if the robots can't produce because of lack of energy, that still hurts people.
