Then we'll use [the equivalent of] adversarial prompt injection against them and they'll be screwed.

The "not questioning" is literally the entire problem.
According to HN, 1 good employee would cost you $1M per year, since everyone obviously lives in SV. 5 employees and that works out to 5M/year.
AMD should be gifting their GPUs by the dozens to the most prolific Open Source contributors if they want a piece of the cake. Their lack of access to CUDA is really harming them badly.
Using factories doesn't mean you need to persist everything to the DB on every test.

If you're using FactoryBot for example, you can use `build(:taco)` to instantiate a Taco without persisting it to the DB. If you use `create(:taco)` instead, then yes, the Taco will be saved to the DB, as well as all its associations (if any). This can of course bloat up your test execution time if you're doing this kind of instantiation + persistence on every test.

FactoryBot docs generally use `build` in their examples, as this should be the default build strategy used for most tests, while `create` should only be used on cases where you actually need to interact with the DB.
Sure but the command line version as best I can tell doesn’t bother keeping a long-lived tsc around. Sure, you can run it in watch mode but if you just run it it doesn’t bother doing that. For example, Facebook launches watchman to keep track of file modifications to files and keeps Buck’s dependency graph up to date so that Buck knows which targets are out of date instantly when you run the command. A more advanced version would know which targets you rebuild/run when you make a change like that and automatically refresh them. Same for running the tests.
They ride on dissatisfaction. People in the West think that Erdogan is hated because he is a dictator. In reality, he has a strong base that he lost because the Lira (Turkish currency) fell too much. Sure some people don't like his conservative stance but most of Turkey is religious.

The reality is that the opposition has little to offer in terms of economical success. They are already promising to kick out the Arabs which many of them are investors in order to rally national sentiments. It's kind of predictable how this will go. In a few years, Erdogan will be back to power.

Does Korea have a major car theft issue?
It's logical. Better/cheaper taxi-like services are almost certainly not going to lead to more investment in and use of public transit. And while they may be one of a number of factors that let people more easily forgo private car ownership at the margins, it's hard to see it being a huge factor.
HN is not Reddit. We like comments that add information and dislike comments that only express brief reactions, jokes, etc. Keeps the signal to noise ratio high.

No, big AI firms will eventually cease to exist once OpenAI’s equivalent of TurboTax for law lets everyone get self-service legal advice.

What alternatives would you propose? Usually when people are surprised by this, digging in reveals that they don’t really know what “client-side rendering” means.
>Norway actually dominates the US in GDP per labor hour

That's mostly due to fossil fuel reserves rather than the people actually being more productive.

>They have an extremely productive manufacturing sector, but a less productive service sector, and the service sector drags down the average.

That raises the obvious question: why are their service sectors so much less productive, so much so that their overall productivity is lower than the US?

>The main thing to consider is this: what's the point of diminishing returns? Are we missing out on eve greater GDP per labor hour because CEOs are only making ~250x the average worker salary? Could we 10x our GDP per labor hour if we paid them 2500x? Or is it possible that CEOs would work just as effectively at "only" 30x average worker salary?

By what mechanism do you think that cutting CEO pay will 10x GDP per labor hour? As other commenter shave mentioned in this thread, CEO compensation is a drop in the bucket compared to rank and file compensation. Getting them to work for free will at best raise the rank and file compensation by a few percentage points.
In what way does it make sense from going from 0.16.0 to 17.0.0? First stable release would be 1.0.0 if you want it to make sense somehow.

Or are we just starting at whatever versions we want now? My next library is gonna start at 666.0.0 once it gets stable in that case.

> this is beta, install on your own risk, this will void your warranty

I’ve seen an increasing number of products I own prompt me to join a beta program that, if accepted, voids the warranty of the device.

I help them vet early features before they roll them out to all of their users and, in exchange, they… ask me to let them maybe brick my device at my expense?

Who agrees to these terms?
I can’t even imagine giving so much credence to every conspiracy theory or supposed breakthrough that only appears on YouTube that I spend time watching everything. There are only so many hours in the day, time is precious, and the onus is on the person making the claim to support them, not the other way around. It’s like someone telling me to watch everything on YouTube about copper bracelets taking bad energy and putting the onus on me to disprove it, but that’s not how science works.

I will share though that I have heuristics that help me gut check new claims. None of them are infallible but they can give a good indication that saves me watching every layperson video making outrageous claims. Those heuristics include things like getting published in major journals, getting peer reviewed, having large and well thought out studies controlling for confounding variables, having leaders in a field support or coauthor the studies, and more. There are also heuristics in the opposite way, which I won’t get into, but suffice to say that the position of “everyone thinks I’m a ‘nutter’ but this one thing happened to me in one case and it has never been repeated but I believe it and the establishment/BIG GENETICS is trying to keep the research under wraps but here’s a video you can watch that proves everything” is not only not compelling to me, but in fact ticks a lot of the anti heuristic boxes. ;)
I'm commenting from the perspective of someone with zero experience with Elixir and Erlang. I've heard of them, but not used them.

So, I leafed through this document, and did not see how it would help people sell Elixir. Engineers will not be offered reasons to prefer it to other languages (popular or otherwise), and managers / bean-counters will not be convinced by the claims of it being less risky and a robust choice for a glue language - when very few people know it, so maintaining the elixir code will depend on some local guru and/or training people to use elixir.

... and this all is not to disparage Elixir! I just don't feel I've been told almost anything about it.
Yea, I mean, look at how much damage concsious primates caused...
That’s because it only supports a very small subset of lint rules. As best I can tell, the rules are very opinionated often in weird ways and not particularly as complete as ESLint.

People rightfully see these LLMs as a piece of discrete technology with bugs to fix.

But even if they’re that, they behave a whole lot more like some employee who will spill the beans given the right socially engineered attack. You can train and guard in lots of ways but it’s never “fixed.”
Unfortunately the article just hand-waves on this point, leaving it at "certain crops":

> However, certain crops are better suited for this system due to their ability to thrive under partial shade.
A reviewer should have seen that massive red flag
Corn is an absolute miracle. It probably took hundreds of years for native Americans to cultivate and domesticate corn to the nutrient crop we know. Those three crops feed humanity. They shouldn’t be shunned for what modern food processing practices. The US alone produces enough corn to feed well over 2 billion people per year.

I wonder if cartilege vs bones are a better heat / oxygen moderating permeable filter/exchanger, thus no bones....
I've found two types of people on email lists: those who never read the documentation and go straight to the list with questions; those who do read it and point out deficiencies or suggest improvements. The former always seemed to far outweigh the latter, so improving the documentation doesn't do much to reduce the number of questions.
It's hard to really understand what it must be to live through such a tragedy, so I'm not sure how relevant my suggestions will be.

But I would do three things (some of which I see mentioned in several post below):

1. download as much as you can – wikipedia, stackexchange (e.g. https://archive.org/download/stackexchange), openstreetmap; possibly, set up a local wifi router to allow others to access these and, if you keep it technical, it might be that this will enable you to get in touch with others with similar needs, which should keep you learning together as much as possible

2. if the conditions allow, try and get your hands on StarLink. Getting a dish and router might be problematic. But if you like diy and assuming you can actually sign up to it, it should be possible to self-build a connection kit using spare parts and an ordinary sat dish.

...which brings me to...

3. consider getting into ham radio. This, once again, depends on the situation in the country, and whether licensing is an option or not. But, providing you can and that you have electricity, this could get you in touch with others, who will usually be techies and may be able to also answer coding questions (although this is a willingly long stretch). And, albeit at very low speed, Internet via ham radio is itself a possibility, e.g. https://spectrum.ieee.org/build-a-longdistance-data-network-...

All the best to you, and I hope the situation improves quickly!
> Ruby on Rails is scalable for 99.999% of all startups created with it.

You are right of course, but not for your stated reasons. Essentially RoR doesn't scale. RoR scalability is a meme, anything else scales much better. From node to PHP, they all can do much more on much less hardware. To achieve hyperscale with RoR you have to throw absurd hardware with layers upon layers of load balancers in front of it.

But I'd argue that it doesn't matter at all for a startup. Like you said most won't ever reach the point where they need such a thing. But they all benefit quite dearly from the excellent developer velocity provided by RoR.
They are doing alignment but through a shallow and fragile strategy. If you build a very smart, very capable AI but it turns the earth into gray goo if asked to in a roundabout way, you have failed alignment.
But it is being given only those texts, not the circumstances. All that is can do is associate and surface patterns in the texts - very complex though those patterns may be. It should not be surprising that those patterns are recognizable, and even that they appear 'real', as they are derived from text about our world. However there cannot be any understanding beyond that, just as with the shadows on the wall of Plato's cave.
Thanks for the X-Clacks-Overhead header and reference. I just went down a whole rabbit hole researching it.
> you don't like building systems whose entire premise rest on anthropomorphization

I think I don't like people building systems whose entire premise rest on anthropomorphization - while at the same time criticizing anyone who dares to anthropomorphize those systems.

Like, people will say "Of course GPT doesn't have a world model; GPT doesn't have any kind of theory of mind"... but at the same time, the entire system that this chatbot prompting rests on is training a neural net to predict 'what would the next word be if this were the output from a helpful and attentive AI chatbot?'

So I think that's what troubles me - the contradiction between "there's no understanding going on, it's just a simple transformer", and "We have to tell it to be nice otherwise it starts insulting people."
Last week I returned a borrowed suit and I was afraid to be late because it had been more than a week. The owner of the place told me it would be fine if I left a 5 stars review. Now I’m wondering how common this gaming is.
I mean…they are a distinct population. The history of racial discrimination in the US has resulted in a very different black population than that of other countries.
When the interests of the company and yourself are aligned, absolutely!

It is easy though to fall into the trap of making improvements for the sake of improvements, without any real visibility of why that matters to the business. That’s when you can work hard and stagnate at the same time
It's not exactly unusual to go to non-zero major versions that way, especially if it's been at 0.x for a while and people are thinking/talking about those versions. No confusion between 0.16 and 1.6 etc.
Thanks for the clarification. So it is basically only suitable for greenfield projects?
Selling something, and then remotely disabling it without the purchaser's knowledge or consent, sounds like vandalism to me.
In spread-out places without decent public transit, the overwhelming majority of journeys are presumably by people driving their own cars.
>Clearly, this theory that taxes disincentive productivity does not comport with decades of empirical evidence. Literally nobody who values money says, "I could make 1 billion dollars but since I'll only get $450 million after taxes I'm just going to sit on this beach and do nothing instead."

1. Income tax applies to everyone, not just billionaire startup founders. Doctors might be well paid, but I'm very skeptical that they'll be equally willing to work more hours if their marginal returns from working was halved by taxes.

2. going back to the claim that "taxes [...] aren’t first-order about generating revenue, they’re first-order about creating incentives", what are income taxes supposed to incentivize then?
> Yu is a former engineering lead for ByteDance in the US who worked at the company between 2017 and 2018.

This seems like an outrage bait lawsuit. The facts in the case are five years out of date, ByteDance has been through the wringer in the ensuing years and there’s no evidence that this backdoor exists in the current app.
> Article 10 requires that all training data be "relevant, representative, free of errors and complete."

This is especially interesting to me with regard to something like ChatGPT. As we know, ChatGPT occasionally gives factually incorrect information. Does this mean that, in its current form, it would be illegal in EU? We know that Google is currently blocking access to Bard in EU. Will ChatGPT be forced to follow suit?

ChatGPT is great and I love it. It would be a shame if I'm not even allowed to use it _at my own risk_ just because it might be wrong about some things. This seems like a simplification, but it sounds like EU is allowing Perfect to be the enemy of Good.
> If Saša Jurić can't prove it to you, then no one can

I think it would have been better if he had more time. The first part was nothing special as such, it could have been easily replicated in even crusty old things like Delphi, never mind modern C# or similar.

It only became interesting when he showed the introspection and when he scaled out to another instance. These things you cannot do so easily in other systems. So would have been more interesting to spend more time on that stuff.

I'm sure there are other videos doing just that, just my thoughts on this one as a "PR video".
Flagged for being complete bull pucky.
I've got mixed feelings about Rome. There's so much room to cover with ridiculously slow tools today. But I'm sick and tired of these people in the industry dropping their toys because they're tired of working on stuff people actually use instead of just improving what they currently have.

Would it have been impossible to nudge Node.js in the direction of where Deno is today?

Would it have been impossible to replace Babel with a Go implementation?

I also don't want tools that want to be literally everything.

Imagine if Daniel Stenberg was like, "You know what I'm tired of cURL, let me rebuild literally the same thing in another language and give it a new name, and entirely different opts."

That's just speculation. Startups are everywhere and are getting funded.

I don't like the bland, watered-down tone of ChatGPT, never put together that it's trained on unopinionated data. Feels like a tragedy of the commons thing, the average (or average publically acceptable) view of a group of people is bound to be boring.
The Executive Who Keeps Tesla Rolling Isn’t Elon Musk
Nah they a couple different factions. Shanghai is different from Beijing for example.
I kinda answered the wrong question here, that's how you would determine which program was more complex. Regarding whether trees or graphs are more complex - graphs are a superset of trees with additional degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom are complexity. Graphs are more complex than trees and trees are more complex than lists, because we're drilling down into increasingly restricted subsets where we can make stronger and stronger generalizations.
How long should we expect for results?
The elections themselves in Turkey are free and fair enough. It is the campaign part that isn't. Things happen but it's nowhere like Russia for example, the civil society is very active and the turnout fluctuates between 80% to 90%.

So the vote count will be correct eventually even though someone can try something. There are some suspicions about the integrity of races with very small margins but overall the results are the results which people voted for.

they have to pay for the power and the staff to set them up/manage it
With payroll taxes and benefits, an employee is ~2x TC. Since startups underpay frequently, let’s say the average salary was ~150k in TC for early employees within SC. That’s 300k*5 = 1.8 million gone per year. Over two years that’s 3.6M. 1.4M left over for finance, legal, rent, and other expenses is kind of tight and you definitely won’t make it a 3rd without any kind of customers or other financial infusions. That’s why a company has to find some kind of product market fit quickly - you have to show there’s a there there so you could continue growing either through revenue growth alone or raising another round.
The leading neuroscientific theory of the brain says that, at it's core, it predicts experiences. It's called predictive coding. LLM's don't predict real time sensory data, they predict just text, and not a real time stream. But the conceptual similarity is still remarkable, both are at their core predictors.
As a lifelong Texan, my instinctual answer is that Hispanic immigrants tend to be really industrious and entrepreneurial. Obviously there are exceptions, but I think they’ll be fine for the most part and their kids will do really well.

It sounds like they already did that. A100 was very expensive and H100 is even more expensive.
Perhaps the comment seemed to condemn without showing knowledge or understanding.

Perhaps asking why someone might need to do that would have prompted a more informative response.

I don't think SnapChat's LLM has access to your location. I think a service that it uses has access to your location and it can't get it directly but it can ask for "restaurants nearby".
> How can they continue to use a 'nobbled' Windows when they have the power to actually fix these annoyances?

In a large company, just because you use something, develops it, and is on the specification process, it still doesn't mean you have the power to actually fix anything.
They're all doing it. Big tech, social media, left/right.
> Are they?

What's this, ELIZA ?

> I am arguing it is.

That's new: none of the arguments you've presented has helped make that case yet.

I don't understand why you keep trying to argue whether the "ZFS module" _by itself_ is a derived work or not. It is irrelevant. You are distributing _the entire work_, which is obviously derived from the Linux kernel since it literally _contains it_ (or an almost verbatim copy of it). The paragraph you yourself quoted literally says the entire distribution must then be on the terms of this license (GPL), which the CDDL _forbids_.

The GPL has exceptions for "aggregation" but as I said in my opinion what Ubuntu is doing crosses the line. It can hardly be claimed to be aggregation when literally the module they ship is strictly designed to work with the kernel they ship, and it is absolutely useless otherwise. Such interpretation basically makes the LGPL meaningless.
