Why are you asking to be convinced if you don't want to be convinced?
My mum was a sport climber back in the 1960s when it was developing as a sport that non-millionaires did, rather than eccentric Victorian gentlemen scaling the Eiger with a team of borrowed Gurkhas.

Anyway, she was always baffled by the folk who did stuff like sawing the handles off their toothbrushes to save a gram or two in their backpack. "The weight of a couple of raindrops..."
Agree with this to some extent - I was careful not to parrot the common advice of "use numbers as much as possible" because I always smell some level of BS. But qualitative stuff gives you enough to go on to ask about in the first-round interview.
Apart from using the letters D E N N I S for lulz, this has nothing to do with the content of the show.
For clarity, it's important that readers know that using alternatives (like GOG, Uplay, EA) isn't actually a valid option here because they do not carry the same games that Steam does (due to Steam's dominant position in the marketplace, many avoid releasing on other stores at all). I'm not stating they don't carry identical libraries as some difference is tolerable, I'm talking about vast vast portions of Steam's collection are unavailable elsewhere.

Meaning those stores would be put at a terrible financial disadvantage trying to get developers onto their store. Hence why most of them (excluding GOG and Epic) just have their first party games on there. This pull is so intense, that most of those you've listed have put their games on Steam again.

Then there are those like Humble, which aren't actually a separate platform, they just sell keys and for the longest time they exclusively sold Steam keys. This is crucial to understand because "using Humble" still means encouraging Steam lock in.

GOG and Epic are real competitors, with GOG's competitive edge being they only have games that are DRM free. I suppose this is a bit of a double edged sword, as most gamers don't care about DRM and therefore just want the latest game available, which GOG does not carry if it has DRM. GOG usually gets games years after launch when the developer feels DRM is no longer needed. So their competitive edge becomes yet another reason most GOG buyers also have Steam accounts.
This is an uncharitable summarization of what Hinton's actual statement was. He said, "might," and "could," a lot, not, "is."

The key here is that it's speculative.

That being said, a lot going on in AI, it's wild out there, difficult to know what's going on. I tried to encapsulate some of the ramifications of all of the Open Source stuff going on with this article here: https://patdel.substack.com/p/viva-la-revolucion-ofopen-sour...

Sorry, but I could not help it, I seen this kind of comments multiple time, some people want to jump to the middle or end of a book/course and skip the hard work.
I think it's perfect as it is. It's catchy and really describes what's happening. Moreover, it really needs a word with at least a little bit of impact because the phenomenon is so bad.

I've seen the word in business presentations and documents. Even the poo emoji (often alongside the "cow" one). It's not weird anymore. Language changes.
I don't get the praise over GitHub code search. I find it very inaccurate and often missing references etc. Maybe it depends on the language you are using it with? (Go here)
i was looking into an nvidia k80 before (so thanks for including your comment about needing pascal or greater) but i had a couple of concerns about the power connectors and pcie lanes/speed.

i read that data center gpus need specialized power adapters, and i didn't find good resources to see if it would be able to hook up to a consumer grade power supply or what adapters i would need

i think my tomahawk b450's pcie 3.0 x16 would suffice, but i'm not 100% sure if there would be bandwidth issues when running an nvme ssd alongside it

driver-wise i think i would be fine, i'm not sure if datacenter drivers are typically included in what's provided by linux distros but i'm sure i could make it work if not

and yeah i would definitely grab a cooler and probably undervolt and/or run it at a slightly lower clock speed to be safe

Our company helps avoid these kinds of observability bills and issues like scaling for fast-growing cloud deployments. Generally speaking, many vendors let you fall into the cardinality trap b/c they have an economic incentive to let you do so. One of our biggest selling points is that we provide an observability control plane that helps drill down into wasted queries, shows how metrics can be aggregated, and other ways of avoiding wasted cost/effort. tbh no one should have to pay more to observe a service than to operate it. Where’s the ROI in that? Another plus is that we're all in on open source instrumentation with OpenTelemetry & Prometheus so none of that annoying vendor lock-in.
> The biggest remaining one is still that fingerprint locked information is not protected under the fifth amendment in the US.

Fortunately, that's not a threat vector that is a real concern for most people. If it is for you, then yes -- solely protecting access through biometrics is probably inadequate.
Do you get paid to do research or is there a deliverable at the end?
Where the hell can you get the 5600 for 50 USD? In Europe it's more like starting from 80 Euros.

Apparently the price offered is not cast in stone though ... I was in correspondence with one of the finders of the recent Rauceby (UK) hoard who mentioned there was some negotiation with the British Museum over the price they paid for the portion they chose to keep. Still well below prices the remainder of the hoard, returned to the finders, has been fetching on the open market though.

> I have no way to know if that project was actually your idea or if you were just implementing someone else's initiative. I have no idea what the team was like and what your actual contribution to the project was. The numbers are meaningless without a ton more context.

is there anything that isn’t meaningless, then?

their idea of knowing X, Y and Z likely differs from yours, as well. what will you believe or trust from a resume?

(personally i don’t trust any specific element and just look for an overall tone, and then ask about the specific interesting bits.)
take the entire stack (including all dependencies, toolchains etc.) and think about scenarios of accidental or malicious malfunction, but also reproducibility, auditability of outcomes, that sort of stuff. The overall ability to provide locked-down, performant, safe, secure deployments of high-quality, validated algorithms without breaking the bank. In other words the risks (but also the frictions / costs) in the "productionising" of algorithms.
Could you elaborate more on why this is a significant feature?

I can see how it would be handy to search a codebase online, especially one you don't have cloned locally, but for my own codebases, I can search the entire thing just fine in VS Code with ctrl-shft-f.
Yeah it turns out if your object is having working software to use to make money you’re not that interested in the mysteries of theory.
They are separate operations.

- encrypt with public, decrypt with private
- sign with private, verify with public
And you can search/diff the pure text representation which is a major plus as well.
I absolutely hate the workflow of constantly moving the mouse back and forth between the visual components and some gigantic property panel sitting at the edge of the window (index-finger programming). Floating windows are even worse, as they always seem to get in the way, so now also spend time on window ceremony (moving / resizing the "floaters").
In graphics tools(InkScape for instance) I almost always move objects around using the cursor keys as my mouse based positioning skills are just not accurate enough (and I know that I'm not the only one)

Anybody have good examples of tools (graphics editors for instance) that has a good alternative to that clunky property pane?

Where did they say anything suggesting AI isn't a legitimate danger or that the two concepts are unrelated?

AI is a just as legitimate and even more immediate existential risk as climate change (and I say this as climate change effects are having a growing impact on international politics right this minute.)

Ironically, "Separate Entirely" (from the D.E.N.N.I.S. used in the Always Sunny episode) was changed to "Short Stints are Dangerous". From my point of view, "Separate Entirely" is better advice and it's justified by the given advice of "Short Stints are Dangerous". I "separate" my ego from the process because I know I'm being judged by someone's arbitrary system. "Short Stints are Dangerous" is the irony because it's actually part of someone's arbitrary judgement system. (I also understand that my interpretation is different from the episode of this comedy show. I mean to present it with this other interpretation.)

Some of the advice is pretty good, so it's not worth throwing it all out. Just take each piece of advice in turn rather than all or nothing. The "Drive Initiative" advice is solid, especially in terms of discovering what you'd like to accomplish in your job.
Why does it have to be either or? Aren't there plenty of use cases for the concrete with less compressive strength? Stuff like floors and walls of smaller buildings could be perfectly fine with the 25 MPa, couldn't they? Patios? Foundations of smaller buildings?

If there's a good amount of stuff that doesn't need the higher compressive strengths, I'd think there could be some decent potential to offset with this stuff. Applications that really need higher strength wouldn't need to use this carbonized stuff.
Ask HN: How do you use HN?
Hello there,

For the past 8 years, I've been an avid user of HN, yet it never occurred to me to publish a post until recently. During my time on the platform, I frequently toggled between the Home and Show HN tabs to keep up with the latest discussions.

However, I noticed that some posts were generating a significant number of responses, making it nearly impossible to keep up with them all. In my quest to find tools that could help me increase readability and highlight important responses, I scoured the internet, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that met my needs.

So I decided to take matters into my own hands and created a codebase that utilizes Tailwind typography and Hugging Face models to help me make sense of the sentiments expressed in the comments.

By the way, I was wondering if you have any recommended tools or extensions that you use on HN?
A few divorces.

Or a mistress or three.
I'd classify those things as ways of showing off your reputation, not improving your quality of life. Once your yacht is of a certain size, the only reason to make it bigger is to demonstrate how much wealthier you are than other yacht owners.

And that's fine, but I wish we lived in a society where "runs a company that doesn't mistreat users" (or treats employees well, or helps the planet, etc) was clearly more important to someone's reputation than the size of their yacht.
It's not about belief, it's about facts.

How does it waste time? There are hundreds of templates you can use and they tend to look nice without much work.

I’ve once seen a résumé where someone meticulously crafted something out of multiple nested tables in Word - you could tell because the spacing was always a little different.

It really made me question their competency, not because proficiency in Word matters, but they obviously wasted so much time with something they had no idea how to do and could have just left out and the result would be better.

I don’t want to know what they’d do to the codebase.
> There have been truly godawful social media systems out there, like Nintendo's Miiverse

Miiverse was never going to be the next Twitter… but then, Nintendo didn’t want it to be. It was a pretty niche thing, but for its niche it was unique and clever.

You might think it was godawful, but I wish there were more experimental networks out there like it.
Except the entire argument here is that it doesn't cooperate very nicely with other package managers so I'm not sure how your point holds together.

A lot of the times equations are meant to be general and can apply to a vast number of scenerios.

For example x̄ (x-bar) is used in statistics to represent the sample mean of a distribution. It doesn't matter what your distribution is, you'd likely call it x̄.

Whenever you see an equation mentioning "n", this will very often be the number of items in a set/list/array, not matter what that set is counting.

Usually these equations are very general, and they don't care what "n" actually is, and this way it's easy to see where you should plug that number into. If you look at the equation for x̄ (averaging) then you'll see "n" in there, and you already know what it's for, and it's incredibly concise.

If you're familiar with them they actually are named relatively well, and generally they're references that you then implement, they aren't meant to be the implementation themselves.
It sounds like you're agreeing; the "reasonable person" definition comes into play in self-defense, threats, etc.

> What if he thinks it could be fake, and doesn't know?

He will be asked to justify that belief, and that justification will be weighed against the provenance of the video. That he's not saying that is telling; claiming the video is faked would likely hurt his credibility given the number of times he's provably made statements of this kind.

> They should have to prove their claims.

They have submitted it as evidence. The jury weighs if it's credible. If Musk chooses not to rebut/contest it, that's on him, not the plaintiff.
For the record it is not correct that NixOS's choice to store language packages in its own repos is unique: Slackware does this and IIRC Ubuntu and Debian both do this. In fact, this is so common that I occasionally see warnings on package websites telling you not to install it from your distro's repos specifically because it will be out of date.
> I wish we could stop judging individuals without understanding the context. There may be a million different reasons... Asking good questions to candidates will be far more informative

You won't even get to the "good questions" phase (i.e., get past the screening) if your resume is full of <1 year stints.

> Furthermore, the company is rarely/never accountable for swiftly laying people off individuals that may otherwise be excellent workers.

I've seen tons of resumes where people have done 12 companies in 10 years. think it's unlikely that was due to constant layoffs.

> Frankly, if a company is discarding CVs based on perceived loyalty, then I perhaps those same companies to provide candidates with a contract reciprocates that loyalty via generous raises and job security.

It's not about a noble ideal of loyalty. A person who leaves companies in 9-12 months is unlikely to have anything significant done in years (due to ramp-up time, etc). Not worth the risk to bring them onto your team, knowing their pattern is to be gone soon.
Sorry if that came across badly. I'm fairly new to blogging and still trying to strike the right tone with my content - trying to get a decent balance of informative and entertaining.

> LaTeX for your resume?! If someone sumgly sends me a .TEX (...)

I'm not sure you got it right. You still have a LaTeX doc if you compile it to generate a PDF. LaTeX can have a very unique and peculiar look and feel that pops up to those in the know.
It's not only about searching your own repository, it allows you to search through every single public repository on GitHub. I personally use it a lot to learn more obscure APIs which are badly documented or which I'm just not used to, simply search for the method I'm trying to use and find infinite examples of real world usage, along with the code license right next to it.

It's also great if you drank the GitHub kool-aid as you can do a single search and find related code snippets, issues, pull requests and discussions that could possibly help. I'm personally not to big into the ecosystem, in fact I'm considering moving to Fossil so I can have everything inside the repo, but for those who are it's a great feature.

Each chargeback on a transaction costs Facebook about $20 even if the credit card dispute does not end up being resolved in your favor. I recommend doing this (in addition to getting legal advice or taking legal action) if you want to penalize Facebook as much as possible for the inconvenience they caused you.
This made me think of Twitter's "fail whale". And then I remembered that mess of spaghetti PHP sold for 44 billion dollars and now I'm rethinking my life.
It’s not gross. It’s a simple solution to a simple and common cron problem

Just because it doesn’t consider external executions, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad solution. Horses for courses etc
Especially with a little bit of battery in the locomotive. A huge chunk of the expensive to string overhead wires for pantographs is bridges, tunnels, and other obstructions not sized for the space needed for the wires. If the train can supply some power to hop between some relatively small gaps suddenly the whole project is pretty affordable.

Same thinking applies to trolly buses. If the bus can supply its own power through intersections and when moving between routes or just around the bus depot suddenly nearly all the logistical headaches of trolly buses go away and the same amount of battery that would get you 1 BEV bus gets you a whole fleet of trolley buses going all over the city.

>Those who figure out how to use AI to build valuable things and then sell them to others will create their own wealth.

See, this is why we cannot have discussions about generalized AI, that is the entrepreneurs don't think they'll be replaced by AI, and if they pull themselves hard enough by the bootstraps hard enough they'll overcome the all seeing data harvesting Molochs we've created by sheer willpower and brilliance. And maybe in a few cases will... but will it matter when the angry masses displaced by technology club them to death in the streets?

Entrepreneurship without responsibility equals calamity. Drastically changing the social contract and saying 'good luck everyone else' will be our modern "let them eat cake" moment.

I would probably say that It is opinionated in a way that makes it good to write services in and it integrates well with the JVM.

CL has packages and most implementations have PLN so you get most (all?) of what the clojure namespaces offer.

I think that if anyone was rethinking scheme the would steal the immutability things from clojure (something like HAMTs and RRB trees or the scala finger tree vectors are more exciting I would say).

I don't think clojure brought anything new, per se. It took some nice parts from common lisp and scheme and added an immutability first paradigm. Nothing new, but getting people to understand how nice immutability is probably involves making the happy path immutable from day 1.
> Will it cause the suburbia to lose value?

There's a potential depending on how far out the it extends.

Using property as an investment vehicle is a major problem in the US. It compels property owners to support policies that retain or increase their property values (e.g. NIMBY).

There's a symbiotic relationship between commercial and residential property. Locality to commercial real-estate creates demand for residential property and scarcity of residential property increases the value of residential property.

The pandemic closed commercial real-estate and made a lot of people and organizations realize they don't need to be present in the office. This is disruptive to the market as whole because the value of both commercial and residential property is tied to demand for both. That is why there has been such a push towards getting people back into the office.

If people do not need to be in the office, then commercial real-estate loses all value. If people don't need to live near the office then residential property loses some of it's value.

This could have an impact on the demand for transit as well.
And could you also fake news articles referencing it all the way back to then?

Or the Internet Archive?

At some point you recognize that "reasonable doubt" doesn't mean "insurmountable evidence to disprove even the worse conspiracy theorist/asshole wrong".
