There's this little thing called brand value. Disney has one of the most valuable brands in the world. Forbes estimated it at being worth about $60 billion as I recall.

That brand was built heavily over many decades on IP that dates back to the 1920s, such as the most recognizable Disney character, Mickey Mouse. They manipulated the law to enhance the value of that IP and thereby gained an edge over their competitors. That's a big part of why they now enjoy such a dominant position.

None of this is especially controversial (you will get a very different spin from Disney of course).

If you want to comment about how business works you should read history and learn how business works first. AI luminary that you are, if you choose to remain ignorant then I guess this whole cycle will happen again with AI.
The discard operation mitigates this situation by marking blocks freed by the filesystem as empty so the GC doesn't have to copy them. Thus, free filesystem space will eventually be consolidated.

Meaning, don’t be a cheater unless you want to live in a society of cheaters. Slightly different meaning from “do unto others” which is about interpersonal reciprocity.

I've noticed that the sentiment on HN tends to skew heavily against Google and more towards Apple. When I go to in-person tech meetups it's usually not at all like that. Not sure why.

yes i think you hit the nail on the head. that is what i do now. but that took time to arrive to even though it seems so easy when you say it now.
They want the levels set to the 2022 levels. The idea that they increased by 1/3 in one budgetary cycle is bonkers.
But take a wider sample of consumer SSDs, a large majority are <=3 years. And look at enterprise SSDs.

So, Microsoft is buying power generated from a Fusion plant that 1. doesnt exist today, and 2. is not even proven to be possible in practical terms(I mean net gain of power from a fusion plant). This kind of PR notice only serves to confuse people who care and fuel the idea that fusion could very well be vapourware.

Why not just say "Microsoft commits some money for us to research if Fusion will be possible in ways we can think of"?
This is due to Google's track record on killing products.
They literally were defaults. The reason for Bretton Woods, and the reason the USD became the overwhelming world reserve currency, is that it was directly convertible to gold. Buying USD was as good as buying gold, which meant the currency was not dependent on any given country.

But then due to poor economic policy we found ourselves in a situation where we had far more issued debt (currency) than we had gold. We were forced to default on those debts, withdraw from Bretton Woods, and basically just told the rest of the world 'deal with it.' A famous quote from the Secretary of the Treasury at the time was, "The dollar is our currency, but it's your problem."

Just wanted to weigh in on this thread and let people know that without theatrical releases helping support big tentpole movies that we all love... those sorts of films won't get made.

That's the CURRENT paradigm and I'm not saying it's efficient, but there was a reason people have recently been saying 'Tom Cruise saved Hollywood' with the success of Maverick.

Roughly 50% of all theatrical releases LOSE money. A large chunk breaks even, and about 27% have margins that could be considered a decent ROI.

If you're a tech person, I am begging you to make an investment in theatrical filmmaking. Lower the cost of this equipment, or find ways to encourage filmgoing, or for the love of god build a film-producing engine that can make this bonkers-slow and bonkers-unprofitable business move out of the red.
Excuse me, we prefer the term "android".
Both lock-free and mutex-based approaches have their applications. The general rule of thumb, for 2-4 threads in the same NUMA node lock-free is faster. Need more cores? Use a proper heavy mutex.
That's really neat! I wish they didn't pause their video the moment it gets interesting, though.
Put this way instead then:

If your company is in Europe, and your gitlab instance goes down for 4hrs every day between 2.30am and 6.30am -- does anyone care? 0 people working those hours means 0 hours of lost dev time.

If you have 5 minutes of availability lost at 9.30 every morning it's much worse (at least in GameDev, when everyone is pulling the latest generated binaries). 900 people unable to work for 5 minutes is 75 hours of lost dev time; quite a lot more than 0 hours, even if the actual availability of the system was significantly higher.

If your audience is yourself, and people aren't supposed to be working, availability of those services is not necessary.

Hell. the Google SRE workbook goes into exactly this, so I know I'm not crazy.
Absolutely. Values such as "it's wrong even if nobody gets hurt or finds out" are not universally held. Besides differences in culture, there is almost no liberal arts education in places like India.
Yes! Me too, there's a whole world out there and it's codified in bullet-proof programs like CPLEX or gurobi. Sadly they are expensive and it's not obvious if a given problem's size and complexity will tailor itself to some of their heuristics.

Have you been doing it by hand or using a big program?
This is a wonderful paper. In a similar vein, "Algorithms with Predictions" (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.09123.pdf) presents a bunch of fun algorithmic problems related to bringing AI into traditional algorithms.

MySQL vs. MariaDB: Tables and DDL
It is possible, within specific limits, using StaticTools.jl and StaticCompiler.jl. Sadly for me, my code won't work within the indicated limits.

This is the biggest issue for me, for deployable code. I'd love to hand my users a single binary (like go/rust), which has all the code/data needed, so no precompilation time, and instant startup. I am hoping the Julia team understand how important this is ... language competitors have runtimes (python, etc.) or binaries (go/rust/c++). We really need the latter to distribute code to production.

Imagine a post compilation step, kind of like the code caching, which wraps everything we need into a binary, with compiled cached code, startup code, runtime libs, etc. . That would be amazing, and fit well within the julia paradigm.
He was the only Republican who ran in 2020 among the COVID shutdowns. He lost, but it made him the default in 2022.

The district has always been pretty right-wing. It sent a very strong right-winger in Pete King for 20 years. The incumbent Democrat left to run for governor, so he was running against a relative unknown. His win was a bit of a surprise, but not an enormous one.

Basically, he "fooled" everybody in that nobody was really paying all that much attention. A fair number of people in both parties were suspicious, but Democrats claiming he was shady just sounds like partisanship, and Republicans weren't going to call attention to it. (The time for that would have been in the primaries, and nobody else really wanted to contest that district.) In the end, the vast majority of voters went along party lines, and it being a midterm election, an enormous number just stayed home.

The district has almost 800,000 people in it. If the House of Representatives was ever supposed to involve a personal relationship with constituents, that time has long since passed. So the kind of vetting you might expect has been replaced by mass media, where even innocuous candidates are swamped with negative campaigning, and so voters tend to ignore it.
Given that Helios hasn’t demonstrated production of any amount of energy from fusion, this is probably just bullshit, like the United “order” for supersonic jets from Boom a few months ago. Similarly, Boom has not even flown a prototype yet.
So I wasn't really participating in social media anyways, but it still had a cooling effect on what I'm willing to say in public.

The leader of my state (Berlin) is a cheater (proven; plagiarized heavily in her diss) and I strongly dislike her. I'm also positive she's exactly the kind of petty and vindictive person to go after random people insulting her.

A police raid in itself is a huge punishment already. Your home gets violated, lots of stuff destroyed and in this case, all computers and hard drives taken away. If that happened to me, it would be months of absolute pain to return to normality.
So you're saying the World Economic Forum has pressured Ireland to pass this law? Can you provide a reliable source for this claim?
It's pretty big now. Uruguay's entire tech labor pool has been consumed by nearshoring agencies. Competition in Argentina and Colombia is catching up.

Disagree on skill level. The average US dev is pretty bad. Most of us on HN just have the privilege of working at 1% companies with 1% developers. Those same people exist in LATAM, they're just 1% of the population there too!
It’s still a startup if it’s not profitable yet ;)
A big part of what’s changed is the “home theatre” experience.

The theatre had a lot to offer when a “big TV” was a 32” 4:3 CRT. Now you can put together a 50+” LCD and meh 5.1 setup for a much more accessible price than that 32” cost 25 years ago.

Theatres haven’t made that kind of leap.
I had a fantastic thermodynamics instructor in undergrad school. He was from a rough part of a city in Iran. At the beginning of the course, he told us his policy on cheating, which was zero tolerance. He added that he had seen every kind of cheating and dishonesty in his neighborhood growing up and there was no way anyone in that class would get away with anything because he had seen it all. It was a great course.

At any rate, being from a "low trust society" can also motivate someone to go in the other direction because they have seen the injustice that is a consequence of cheating and dishonesty.

Thanks for sharing this. All I want to respond with is to say though that I don't know if the "personality type" that we mentioned is really all that better off. I'm skeptical at least.

I think it's more than likely that they've spent their whole lives trying to accumulate power without ever having cultivated the sense of how to use it. Sort of how in so many places all around the world people of less means seem to be so happy. Obviously there are exceptions abound and I'm not trying to present a quantitative argument one way or another.

Just that the people who live well aren't always the ones who are living "well", if you take my meaning.

I obviously can't be the judge of them and say "all the people I know that are like _that_ are fundamentally unfulfilled", but I can say about myself that the times where I had acted in that way didn't make me any happier, if I were to be honest with myself.

Not sure if you'll see this, but I work for an internal tooling startup and I'm trying to mess around with your API. Our tool has support for REST and python/js support with a limited set of libraries. I've been trying to figure out how to connect to the API via CURL so I can write some blogposts about building with y'all and I've been struggling.

I can get com.atproto.server.createSession to return me a token, but then when I try to transition into another endpoint (such as app.bsky.richtext.facet) I only get 404s. Is their any examples of using y'all with rest? Happy to take my question elsewhere if y'all have any places for folks to ask questions?
I've built a "project generator" that worked pretty much exactly the same way (using plop.js rather than cookiecutter), generating various parts of various stacks (Django/NestJS/React/Elastic beanstalk/React Native...).

It's simple enough, as you say it's mostly templating, but the hardest part I found is maintaining dependencies. I needed to keep all dependencies up-to-date, which was a big amount of manual work. For something like React-native, rather than templating I was generating a project using create-react-native-app then applying patch files.

How do you manage this?

Also, how's the Pegasus devx? Another annoying part of templating is that I was never really writing Python or Javascript, I was writing Jinja, so syntax highlighting or autoformatting didn't really work well or at all.
At my current company we started doing hiring in Brazil, and a few in Colombia. In both cases they are in general pretty exceptional devs. I have spent a lot of time in Colombia myself and there is a boom in entrepreneurship and tech in my opinion there (and not just among expats since there are plenty there). I can only assume the same of places like Brazil as well.

My last job we also worked with devs from Mexico, and same thing. I have worked with some great Indian colleagues but I would say in general I work a lot easier with devs from Latin America compared to overseas. Though I am a bit biased since I speak Spanish myself at a C1 level. Rarely do I really need to flip to Spanish for anything but it helps to be able to bridge the cultural gap.
We hire across LATAM. Mexico still lags behind Argentina and Uruguay in terms of skill level. Lots of low skill, boot-camp style grads. Few true engineers.

Colombia is catching up but ARG and URU still reign supreme.

My social circle's experience is that it's easier and more convenient to find a remote position in a company based in Ireland.

Also tech salaries are higher because Ireland is a country with effectively two, very different economies and wages in the UK outside of London are surprisingly low.
I read this differently.

Seems like Mexico isn't open to wanting their workers to be exploited en masse, so they have protections and laws, much akin to Europe for instance, that favor employees in some circumstances, or at least gives them a fair process (the labor board)

This comment really doesn't come off well to me that your basic complaint is that Mexico has laws that don't weight entirely toward the employer, basically
I have heard good things about the Genie AI VS Code plugin. (I personally decided against installing it because it's closed source)
They'll be the ones begging and cajoling LLMs to write the code.

Notice that even these days, senior devs aren't supposed to code much - they're supposed to train up junior devs, up to the point said juniors become competent, at which point the juniors join the rank of seniors and begin to teach fresh junior hires.

I.e. increasingly, juniors are the only people actually coding anything, and LLMs will only reinforce this trend.

I answered that in my second paragraph. They've proven they're incapable of developing a budget that doesn't balloon. Non-discretionary spending is through the roof, as evidenced by their demand of latching spending to the 2022 budget levels. That's last year. How is this extreme or outside the realm of even negotiation?
It can't compare, not even close. There is just too little devpower behind Flux. Also, the AD landscape in Julia have been changing so fast that the ground has been shifting under Flux, so to speak.

It's a shame, because Julia is so obviously a good language for DL.

I have worked with (managed) 6 colleagues from Colombia while I working for a multi-national corporation (one of the big 4 advertising firms). In the same company, I also worked with 12+ coworkers from India. I have to say that I found my colleagues in Colombia just as talented and motivated as the ones in India. In fact, because the coworkers from Colombia are direct hires, I have an easier time managing them as opposed to the coworkers in India, who are from a contract firm.

Like others have said here, the timezone difference makes things easier too. I still am in contact with 4 of my ex-coworkers in Colombia because I knew that one day, I might want to have my own business and I would hire them all without hesitation.

I've been reconsidering my ideas about tenure recently.

If you asked me a couple years ago, I would have told you that I was opposed to the idea of tenure. I thought it created a two-tier system: a relative handful of older professors who have made it and can basically coast, versus the untenured professors who do most of the grunt work.

But now I'm seeing that tenure can actually provide valuable protection for professors. Teaching in non-STEM subjects is ideological; it has to come from some viewpoint. And without tenure, it can reduce down to "teach your subject from the viewpoint the administrators want, or you're fired."

I realize that ONU is trying to fire Prof. Gerber, but at least he has some protections that are allowing him to fight back. From the article: "insufficient “collegiality” isn’t listed as adequate cause in ONU’s faculty handbook for dismissing a tenured faculty member...."
Unfortunately it seems like they're different formats, Firefox just prints "Error: Invalid memory report(s): data version number missing or doesn't match" if I try to load a snapshot (whether from Chromium or from the Julia profiler).
Maybe the commenters had a different take, but I the OP's post as, "The system is broken and this is proof." Not necessarily condoning cheating itself.

I certainly agree though that cheating is a sad thing to build your life on, regardless of whether the system is broken or not. Obviously there are exceptions to this as things get more extreme, but a strong desire to work at amazon is not what I would call extreme lol.

I agree with you when you talk about places where companies can bully people just by threatening to sue them, and where the defender must have lots of money even if they are clearly in the right.

But AI does not change anything there. The problem of being sued into oblivion despite being right exists there even without it.

In places where defending does not cost money, this works out in favor of the individuals.
I don't quite understand the context of this post. I was talking about metrics such as uptime percentage, not enlightening ideas. Can you explain what do you mean?

Ceci n'est pas une pipe. The features are exciting. Google I/O, the conference with talks, is seen as less so. Notice how all the comments are about the talks. Yesterday's Apple announcement was _not_ a conference, and the comment thread was about the new app. It's not the same thing at all.

Here are some snippets from top-level comments in this discussion thread.

> It's all business talk

> I for one benefited so much from Google Developer Groups

> looking forward to the event and plan to watch it

> just corporate talk

> alternate conference

> separate conference

> I can understand now why my company is less eager to send developers to events

You see it, right? They're all about the talks at the conference and not the features. This HN post is specifically about the conference, that's why the title is "Google I/O 2023".

OP is right though, that all CreditTaker's peers know he isn't doing any of the work, but it doesn't matter because companies are hierarchal and CreditTaker is the only one talking to execs above him, so his story is what gets passed around as reality. His peers who know the truth are too busy doing the actual work.
