My spouse works in a large multinational non-profit. India is one of the countries they will not partner with very often, due to the massive amount of, shall we say, unexplained cost inefficiencies (lost money) that happens. One of her Indian coworkers explained that the culture is just like that, for better or worse, it's a hustle culture. And once you get someone to buy, it seems it's expected to use that as resources for the next hustle.

Sounds a lot like academia, to be honest.

The deflation has begun, if you look at M2 money supply. But food is not going to decrease in price, and housing will lag. So it'll still feel like inflation, but consumer goods are already going down.

Perhaps its a false dichotomy, but I'll take a pay freeze/cut over a layoff any day.
This argument is nonsense in that a corporation does not "wants to increase its profits and maximize shareholder value" or want anything "executed by its employees." A corporation is a signed document usually in Delware, and a collective belief in it's existence by society-at-large. It doesn't want anything anymore than my computer, my car, or a my fence wants anything.

I do maintain my car so it continues to work for me, but it doesn't "want" oil or gas. I want it to work for me.

The same is true for corporations. Corporations are a useful construct for keeping society free and productive (relative to, say, command economies or feudalism). I want the retirees who invested in the corporation to be able to retire, customers to be happy, and employees to have a healthy work environment. The extent to which that aligns to what you think a piece of paper in Delaware wants varies. It sometimes aligns and sometimes doesn't.

Beyond that, there is no fundamental moral imperative for helping your employer grow anymore than there is for oiling a car.

There is a moral imperative to doing what you agree to do (which includes contracts), the strength of which varies by context and culture. I can go into that in much more depth.
Show HN: AI-CodeWise – Transforming Code Reviews with AI-Powered Analysis
Say goodbye to slow code reviews! Introducing AI-CodeWise, an AI-powered code reviewer transforming code quality & security. Harness the power of OpenAI API for comprehensive reviews & suggested fixes.

We have compared its results with those of existing Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanner tools. AI-CodeWise differentiates itself from these tools by offering the following advantages:
1. All-in-One Review: Detects code smells, best practice violations, & security issues across languages for versatile code review.
2. Unforeseen Issue Detection: AI-powered for discovering issues that rule-based systems might miss, ensuring thorough code analysis.
3. Fix Suggestions: Offers code change suggestions directly in PR comments, empowering developers to resolve issues efficiently, boosting code quality & security

Would love to hear your feedback!
markov, shmarkov, either you need those original works or you don't. If you can build your markov chain without them please go ahead

But we all know without these original works such a tool cannot exist in principle, the works are the key ingredient, so now please explain how we are not looking at these works being exploited commercially and copyright being violated.

The output product is an automatically created derivative work, copyright very much applies especially since the tool is used to generate derivative works for profit (like in case of openai/microsoft).
Who would decide what to fund?
There is ongoing research for purely functional data structures and many implementations to be written for many functional languages, to make use of PFDS. Whenever one sees a traditional data structure, one can ask oneself, what a persistent functional one might look like, or whether a different solution would be pursued in FP languages. Traditional data structures are often a question of transcribing from an example language into a target language, with variuos language specific changes for optimization. Finding a good way to implement things without mutation or side-effects, is a challenge.

I'm not swayed by cat-is-out-of-the-bag arguments. Bad things can still be bad even while lots of people do the bad thing.
Can anyone from GH weigh in on this? We've had several major outages from GH over the last month or two, and the company has been completely silent on the causes, as well as any sort of remediation steps to fix stability.

As a somewhat large size org, we're now exploring other options for code hosting.
And any country that chooses to keep using a dirty, unhealthy, more expensive, 250-year-old energy supply over helium-3 fusion will rapidly fall behind.
One question is what proportion of the memory is being used for different things, and which of those you'd notice.

The actual text representation is tiny compared to (for example) the framebuffer of said text rendered to the screen. I wouldn't be surprised if the size of my desktop background in RAM is larger than all the code I have written ever in my professional life. You probably wouldn't even notice a bit corruption in that, especially if it's a temporary image buffer being updated constantly.

As you'd expect a random error to hit things proportional to their size in memory, there's likely orders of magnitude more running code in your editor than the actual text you're editing, which is more likely to simply crash than silently corrupt a diff.

And on crashing, there's issues I've seen from user reports with backtraces and memory states that just don't make sense. I personally suspect that some, especially those without multiple examples, could quite easily be due to random memory corruption. And there's a long enough tail of these weird issues from that sampling I honestly wouldn't be surprised if such corruption events were a lot more common than many people think.

And that's on a pretty locked down platform so no worries about consumers overclocking. I've heard it's even worse for some of my colleagues working on more gamer-adjacent products - some people's definition of "Stable" is rather loose.

And as for the OG paper, I think it also said the errors weren't evenly distributed over all hardware - likely due to manufacturing differences some are run closer to the edge than others, but in a way that don't break quickly enough to easily test and be replaced as defective. So you might just be unlucky and have a weirdly unstable system.
Curious, how’d you lose it? Expired cc?
Only HTTP/0.9 HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 are probably text in the sense you mean

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are binary formats, they are semantically very similar to the older formats in some sense, but you would benefit from more tools to examine them properly because human readability was not the priority.

Perimeter security with firewalls didn't really come into vogue until the mid 1990s (post-Cheswick and Bellovin), so that seems like a pretty speedy adoption for a big agency.
> If you're going to go NIH your replacement needs to not just be better but substantially better, and you should also show understanding of the original open spec.

I just disagree with this in principle. I wonder what the tech equivalent of "laissez faire" would be.

To this day I don't understand how anyone in the tech world thinks they can make a single demand of anyone else. Even as a customer I believe you can really only demand that the people you are paying deliver what is contractually and legally required. But outside of that ... I just don't understand people's mentality on this subject.

What is it about this specific area of the web that attracts these idealogical zealots? I had the same head-scratching moment in the early 2000s when RSS and Atom were duking it out.
I use D3D9 because D3D12 blanks the screen when I try to watch Netflix or etc., whereas D3D9 works just fine.

>> You don't get to use [a copyrighted work] unless you have a license.

>Not when you give it to me. "Hey, can I see your pamphlet? Sure, here's a copy."

>> an implicit license to consume this content

>No, copyright prevents copying, not use. There's no implicit license needed to use a work so there's no place to attach those usage restrictions. If you want me to agree to a license you need to not give me the work until I do.

>You could have a ToS click-through agreement ("no training an AI on this!"), and then only serve content to logged-in users who have agreed to your conditions.

Fair enough, I worded that wrong.

>Sure, predicting all courts in the world is a futile exercise. Surely someone will try to over reach from copyright to preventing what they feel is a bad use but it's unlikely to become law because there are already analogous uses, scanning someone's text and pulling data from it - data like which words follow which other words.

Kazaa was banned despite being very popular for a few years. The DMCA was signed into law years after the first copyright trouble started. Just because the government is slow doesn't mean they won't write new law.

> Well, FB released Llama... It's not a closed technology, it's being led by for-profit businesses but the community (which consists of many of the corporate engineers as well) is trying to keep up.

FB's model leaked, it was subject to a strict whitelist originally. They didn't mean for it to get out there, but they wisely chose not to cause the Streisand effect to hurt them even more. And OpenAI (nice name) stopped releasing their model after it became good enough.

> Even if you can and do attach usage regulations to your site I feel it'll hurt the little guy more than the corporations. There are probably not any unique linguistic constructions on your site that will render a corporate AI less valuable, but for hackers and tinkerers and eventual historians, who knows what it'll interfere with.

I don't want to hurt anyone. I wish AI companies would do the right thing and simply ask for permission before taking someone's work and training on it. I'd probably agree if they did so a few years back!

I know my contribution to the larger model is extremely insignificant. However, my incentive to help others is greatly diminished when my wishes and ethical concerns are ignored so blatantly. I also don't think I'm alone in this. The amount of digital art I'm seeing in my timelines has greatly decreased, for example; more and more is being locked away behind paywalls because sharing your work freely only helps megacorporations replace you.

The term ballooning is so qualitative and subjective that it is essentially a Barnum statement.
How would you determine if the number for the debt is too high? And why?

And how would you determine if it is too low?

For example would the calculation consider the current population? the current factory capacity? Agricultural capacity? the year? Interest Rates? Tax Revenue? The populations desired rate of saving? The current desires and goals of the nation and its citizens? If there is no exact formula, then would a representative body that debates and agrees on a best estimate number be a reasonable way to decide that? If so isn't that what congress does already?
Oh, you mean capitalist society cares more about results than morals, and often being able to bend and sacrifice morals actually makes you a better capitalist (pawn)? What an unexpected result.

After reading the Elizabeth Holmes profile on NYT earlier today (following links from HN), maybe her mistake was trying to create a product that actually does something. If she had done it like Zuck and made some vague vision of an awesome future, then no one will know when it's failed, and the investors will shut up rather than admit to having been paid for something they can't even explain.
Thanks for mentioning FireSync, we haven't even offically launched yet! After 10+ years of building real time collabrative apps based on Operational Transformation (ShareLaTeX -> Overleaf.com) we have become quietly very excited about CRDT's and Yjs. Now we are focused on building a scalable Yjs compliant backend ontop of PG with FireSync.

If anyone has thoughts about this space, feature requests, would like a preview of what we are building, or anything else, please do reach out direcly to me at henry@firesync.live, I'm talking to as many people as possible at the moment.
As long as you tell them they can, that seems great. I think it's normal for people being interviewed to assume they can't use any outside assistance.
Local Elected Representation Is Bad
Hi Royce and Oliver, I have a suggestion: look into dimming the screen slowly for the last 30-60 seconds before you pull a person out of the app. This will greatly decrease the annoyance of being pulled out. It gives you time to anticipate being done with your session. I do this with my toddler.

We let him use our phone to look at family videos while we are changing him. If I turn the phone off abruptly, it can be frustrating for him at times. However, if I manually dim the screen more and more (and lower the volume more and more), it feels natural that the phone is getting "tired". He is then okay with leaving the phone.
> WebGPU implementations like wgpu-rs

wgpu isn't exactly an implementation of WebGPU, it's just based on WebGPU (heavily inspired).
Ok, so nothing in about 2.5 years and some of these I wouldn't even call products. They also haven't deprecated anything on GCP since March 31, 2021.

At the end of the day, I'm super glad they have experimented with things and it seems weird to hold that against them.
My sister has severe MS that has been progressing rapidly, and the most common treatments have failed to halt or slow progression. Her neurologist who specializes in MS wanted to put her on a new, but expensive drug that has shown significant promise. Her insurance denied it, insisting that she should be put on a different medication that has never so much as been studied, much less approved for treating MS. Multiple appeals, by my sister, by the doctor, and by the hospitals insurance specialists were all denied. A lawyer advised that legal action would be prohibitively expensive and have no guarantee of results.

Mind you MS is a progressive disease,. causing permanent brain and neurological damage. There is no "recovering". Once the damage has been done, it's permanent, treatment only hopes to stop or slow progression, so experiment with another drug isn't something you can do, then later decide it's not working and go with something else. Permanent damage has been done, while your wasting time with treatments that have no expectations of working.

The semi-good news is the insurance company did approve the drug 6 months later after she ended up in the ER and had a 4-day stay, and she believes she hasn't experienced progression since starting the drug. I cannot fathom however why we as US citizens allow this cruel practice of private industry insurance to continue.
From a purely financial and management perspective, this is an EXCELLENT decision. It really is a _lazy_ method to handle layoffs with excellent perception from stock holders' viewpoint. We all know how bad it looks when management executes on a situation similar to Gavin Belson firing the Nucleus team. Perception is all that most management and financiers care about anyways as long as the money keeps flowing. The people do not matter, only the money does. It is acceptable to sacrifice your people, as well as the welfare and good will of your employees, in favor of shareholder primacy anyways. So instead of doing layoffs, instead you can make business decisions that negatively impact employees to _make them want to quit on their own_. Hell... that saves a lot of money in the long run as well as a lot of time on management's end ( time = money ). Then when top or even mid talent is lost, it still doesn't matter because the "left overs" that remain still keep the business running at a "good enough" level.

And that, my friends, is the key phrase on what is prioritized in all business right now ... "good enough". All that matters nowadays is the answer to the question of "good enough". For example:

- Are the quality/quantity of FT employees we currently have on payroll good enough to keep the business running?
- Does our invoicing/contracts/income look good enough?
- Are we doing good enough to keep our competitors at bay?
- Is there anything we can cut to stay good enough?
- Are there good enough incentives for our employees to stay with us?
- Are there good enough incentives for our CUSTOMERS to keep doing business with us?

It is my opinion that the days of "expecting excellence" or striving to "be the best" is totally over for the current generation. For the most part in the tech business environment, management and market forces are only interested in keeping money flowing at a "good enough" level. On top of that, western culture seems to have forgotten what "the best" even means right now. And without even having a definition of "the best", how is it possible to be "excellent"?

We are in the middle of an extremely boring time in our lives. There is a massive drop off of real talent and creativity. Top and mid talent are deciding to hold back because the incentives are few, if any exist at all. Honest improvements and true innovation will be stagnant for at least 5 more years. Boredom will be the norm for a while. Until something actually _exciting_ happens or something incredible is discovered (I have NO idea what that could be), this will be the norm for a long time.
I think it depends on how you define Hacker. This site is very business leaning to begin with in a lot of ways which doesn’t always draw the “hacker” crowd. I will forever think of hackers ideally not being so concerned with operating businesses but being obsessed with technology sometimes at the expense of business concerns.
I wonder how much illegal back channel coordination there is going on between the big tech companies on this.
It truly is wasted on them. Even a boor like me would throw in some cheap vases, busts, imitation statues, etc.
thanks, this is cool!
It's pretty simple:

Pixel's are just the best "stock Android" phone there is. So many other Android device makers just slap a crappy UI on top of stock Android that offers no real value. In addition, Pixels always get the latest os updates, and Google recently improved support timeframes so they'll get support for years, on par with iPhones - that was a huge sticking point for years.

There are some other specific features of Pixels that are great:

1. Excellent camera

2. The phone features are really fantastic, like auto "call screening" and "hold for me".

You're talking about describing your memories of your inner experiences. Memories transform with time, sometimes I'm not sure if what I think I remember actually happened to me, or if this is something I read or seen in a movie, or someone else described it to me. Fake memories like that might feel exactly the same as the things that I actually experienced.

GPT-4 has a lot of such fake memories. It knows a lot about the world, and about feelings, because it has "experienced" a lot of detailed descriptions of all kinds of sensations. Far more than any human has actually experienced in their lifetime. If you can express it in words, be it poetry, or otherwise, GPT-4 can understand it and reason about it, just as well as most humans. Its training data is equivalent to millions of life experiences, and it is already at the scale where it might be capable of absorbing more of these experiences than any individual human.

GPT-4 does not "get" poetry in the same way a human does, but it can describe very well the feelings a human is likely to feel when reading any particular piece of poetry. You don't need to explain such things to GPT-4 - it already knows, probably a lot more than you do. At least in any testable way.
This is great but why no attribution? Who wrote it?
There are a bunch of issues bunched up together here. Large houses are not only possible with good land use patterns, but as older cities grow the average unit size also increases. When I was young we moved from a trailer into a huge old house. It was difficult to keep up properly and seemed to always need to be repainted, but having plenty of space and more rooms than we actually needed on a regular basis was hugely liberating. With careful planning, construction, and use of materials it should be possible for most of the population to live in relatively large residences. This might be beneficial enough to specifically aim for as we make social and technological progress.
They are reasonably popular but I personally don't find their talent better than other bands I've heard in the past in their genre, even though their main guitarist is quite talented.

In contemporary music I believe King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are a better sell for talented instrumentalists.
The multi-modality and integration is good, but it's still very underwhelming. I hope actual usage changes my mind.
