It sounds like perhaps you two were part of an unwitting pool of A/B "early adopters" for receive an early look at some exciting new functionality.
Why should employers care about whether or not an employee is giving their all or their minimum? As long as the work is getting done, should it matter?
They are great as they have cuda cores etc., the only downside is you have to use their ubuntu image to utilize all the features as the drivers are proprietary, you can install other distributions but you will lose that functionality.

If you are looking for an -almost- as powerful SBC (with m.2 support as I see you have it in the original design), give a look at Rock5-B (1), I didn’t test it personally unlike nVidia ones, but it seems it has a great specs, as you might also struggle to secure jetson ones sometimes due to stocks being sold out.

I’m definitely not qualified to answer, but other than not needing to worry about having a Java runtime environment, my impression is that Clojure doesn’t have a CL-like condition/restart system that allows for things like interactively dealing with errors and re-running/redefining functions in the middle of experiencing an error.

CL also has multiple dispatch and I’m not sure but I don’t think Java supports that.

I’m curious to see other responses. I’m also interested in the reverse: why Clojure over CL? (I assume integration with Java and immutable data structures, but there’s probably more.)
> Is picking a newbie or a charlatan that much worse than listening to a journalist who interviews a newbie or a charlatan? Or one who doesn’t understand the subject (as is usually the case) and totally mangles what they get from an actual expert?

Given the quality of discourse, and rocketing levels of misinformation on the internet—yes! It’s a lot worse!
this is where the new third player, Intel, can (if it can tear itself away from identical behaviour in the consumer/server CPU market) hopefully break the duopoly. Love to see a 32 or 64GB card from Intel. Their software stack on Linux is competent enough (unlike the dumpster fire that is AMD's ROCm).
I bought one of these. It’s helped a good bit. I also bought the necklace attachment, much better than the sticky pads

> I mean, it obviously couldn't just be feeding all the previous text into a model that statistically predicts the next likely words and then does some post processing to intelligently pick one of the high ranked words, just like the developers say.

Of course that's what it's doing, but if I ask you how you typed that comment you wouldn't say "trillions of synapses whose connection strength was determined based partly on my genetics but mostly on all my sensory data since I've been alive ended up firing in order to make my fingers press the 'reply' button".

Do not mistake understanding the substrate and the loss function with understanding the actual model.
Practice non-distraction. Start little.

Decide, for example, that you're going to make your bed. Then don't do anything but make your bed. Don't check your phone in the middle or go on a side quest to dust the headboard. Just make your bed.

Just keep practicing that on easy things and you'll get better. The key is to set tasks that you can achieve. As your brain gets used to this it will let you do more involved tasks undistracted.

Eventually you'll be able to non-self-distract for 30 minutes, at which point you can strategically use your time and make major accomplishments. That's about as long as anyone can work without some sort of break. If you can stack 10-15 good half hours in a day of work you're going to take over the world.
Other former pilot here… I’d say that HCI and understanding how automation works in the user environment is probably more useful than her PhD in systems engineering given the context.

Switching/using correct/monitoring autopilot modes is (somehow) still a major problem in aviation.

It’s not surprising that drivers (who basically get no training) have a hard time with this too, nor is it surprising that manufacturers are blinded by their own BS (see 737 Max for further reference).

Comically the GA airplanes with Garmin units in them were wildly better designed than the “professional FMS” boxes Honeywell sold. In particular, the flag ship “Honeywell Apex” units were terrible in comparison to the touch screen Garmins.

That’s wild, because the Honeywell box is fully integrated with the airplane and an order of magnitude more expensive.

Bubbles are super common, and even more common on the internet. I find this phenomenon fascinating.

For example, there are many people on HN who absolutely cannot comprehend why people prefer single family housing, with a yard, and a car. So much so, that I've considered writing an article from my perspective, about why I prefer low-density housing.

The ratio of commenters to lurkers is super low, and (speaking from experience), commenters often have mental problems, which drives them to post excessively.

The vast majority of Americans are absolutely nothing like the drivel we read online. I waffle between thinking this is caused by "terminally online" folks like myself, and bots aka astro-turfed corporatism. Either way, the opinions we read online do not reflect reality. Historians will have a hoot interpreting our society and describing it from the perspective of the Huffington Post and Wall Street Journal.
A bot can saturate text-based bandwidth as fast as a person saturates multimedia-based bandwidth.
Start a page on eg notion titled ideas. When you have an idea, write about it (all the sub ideas) instead of starting it immediately.

Then go back to what you were already working on, until they’re finished. I keep 2 projects active, when I’m tired of one I work on the other. My idea list probably has 100 items.

Absolutely! I guess I am not the target market. I’ve had the same Bose headphones for four years and other than an easy earpad replacement, nothing has broken. I can’t imagine needing to replace the battery.

This seems somewhat like a solution looking for a problem.

Probably the price surcharge for these headphones would be better spent on right-to-repair lobbying or even spent at ifixit.
What gold future are you trading where the contango/backwardation is fixed?
For most of the ones I mentioned you have to get high level approval these days. There are some positions and departments that are exempt. But it doesn’t seem the case for software engineers at those companies.

I work at AWS. But my position “cloud consulting” was always designed to be fully remote even pre-Covid. I was assigned to a “virtual office” when I was hired.

If they had changed that, there would have had to have been a long conversation about compensation increase. I agreed to my compensation explicitly because it was fully remote in a lower cost of living area.

I still honestly would have only stuck it out until the job market improved.
That the larger the population got, the harder it would be to control, politically or otherwise. That there would be all sorts of competing factions for mindshare and ideology, radicalization, etc, in a fully free society.

He more or less viewed consumerism as a means pacify these tensions, to indirectly exert control... hence the development of closer ties between big business and the government.
I've only ever shuttered one forum, and that was at the behest of the community itself. A decade in and it had become a toxic place, everyone agreed that they wanted to give multiple new things a try and that the place in question should be deleted. Not archived, not available forever, but deleted and nothing kept of it. I obliged.

When the day comes that I shutter another I'll ask the active members at the time what they want to happen to their data. They may desire to leave it as a resource, they may want to delete it, if there's a clear majority in the decision I'll go with whatever they desire. I value the choice of those whose data it is, who contributed to creating it, over anyone else's hypothetical needs.
Tangentially related: the wirelles chips that Apple uses make a world of a difference compared to my other machines (Lenovo ThinkPads in cheap to low-mid price range).

They have signal where other devices don't, and, most importantly, Bluetooth does not interfere with 2.4GHz WiFi in a crowded apartment building in a crowded street.

This makes a world of a difference. With my previous laptop, I simply couldn't use wireless internet simultaneously with Bluetooth unlesss being in the same room next to my router.

With apple client hardware and the same router (it also supports 5GHz, but I'm not sure if that's the underlying cause as it still works great on 2.4GHz with the MacBook), WiFi and BT work flawlessly across my whole apartment.
You will likely see a bit of a performance gain dropping your threads to 6. I'm on a 3700x and get a regression when using 16 threads instead of the real 8 cores.
No it’s insane. Like any tax it could be made progressive, make the tax lower or nonexistent for smaller amounts of money.

But stepping up the basis is insane and indefensible. It’s a heads I win tails you lose approach.

Basically you’re saying oh we know there are capital gains here but they are not realized so it’s not time to tax them yet and then the person dies they say just kidding those capital gains never happened.

It’s nonsense. Tax them at whatever rate makes sense if you want but don’t make a complete mockery of the concept of basis.
The way I read the article -- the main point is that the bonuses doled out to executives stood in stark contrast with the sacrifices of, you know, the actual front-line workers out in the truth. Who in some cases made the ultimate sacrifice, in fact.

And for funding those bonuses (in part) with "emergency" relief funds provided by the federal government.
> Even Uber, which according to the same random well-SEO'd source, has 93 million monthly platform consumers[1], which means only 28% of Americans use Uber.

Looking at month to month stats like this seems like a poor proxy for "likeable". Something like Uber tends to have a core set of heavy users with a long tail of more infrequent users.

I and most people I know use Uber every few months and often in spurts e.g. I travel a few times a year and don't rent a car at my destination. My uber use spikes during this time but is otherwise close to zero.

Similarly, some people seem take a "uber in an emergency approach" to the service. This is something I certainly appreciate about the service as well.

None of this actually tells us how "liked" the service is though.

The future is this - these models will be able to run on smaller and smaller hardware eventually being able to run on your phone, watch or embedded devices. The revolution is here and is inevitable. Similar to how computers evolved. We are still lucky that these models have no consciousness, still. Once they gain consciousness, that will mark the appearance of a new species (superior to us if anything). Also, luckily, they have no physical bodies and cannot replicate, so far...

I haven't had that issue, but if you know that you do, in this case you can buy the cups separately. After trying it out for a few weeks or months to make sure it's a keeper, just order another pair of cups?

I got the impression that they've had phone parts in stock for a very long time, but of course that's relative to the average phone age and I don't know how many years you'd be expecting. In this case, though, if you already know what you'll need ahead of time... that's a cheap thing to just keep in a drawer. Can't go out of stock if you already have them and thereby double the other parts' longevity.
Or how about: stop spoiling students and make them pick up a pencil and write down some damn code.

I took tests by hand all my life and even in college I think most computer science tests that weren’t “implement this big project” were all done by hand. Professors didn’t give a fuck about fancy test software: bring pencil, bring paper, here’s a test, good luck.

Your hand isn’t going to cramp up writing double linked list or binary heap functions. Plus you’re going to have to do this anyway for whiteboard interviews to get your first job.

If a CS student can’t do this by hand, then just get out of the field. We do not need more intellectually weak engineers, especially as the amount of money one earns in tech seems to increasingly attract money hungry brogrammers that write shitty code. And I’m sure ChatGPT will empower an entire generation of slackers who think software engineering is just writing the right prompts in plain English.
I think you're on to something here. I myself as a tech employee have scapegoated FB, but the reality is, every small startup I've worked for has has questionable ethics. That's just how business people work, they don't see things the same as us regulars. Hence why they get so rich.

I do think that tech workers have something, morally, to gain from lambasting FB. But the wider US sphere of influence does, as well. US tech makes the US super strong, and super rich. If we just forget about Google's sins, we can keep being rich and powerful.

Tech workers, politicians, heck even normal people receiving Google accounts, all have something to gain by denying reality.
I think it's an interesting hypothesis; it's definitely a complex piece. However there are some things like the different size holes and the little knobs that I don't see adding complexity to the dodecahedron and seem to be more functional to me. It seems like it could be rotated to put the right size hole whereve it needs to be and the knobs are placed so it can stand no matter what hole is chosen

Exempt the farm from taxes if you like farms. Whatever. That’s a public policy choice.

But don’t say we’re talking about a fucking farm when you’re advocating for no taxes on a diverse network of private equity positions and real estate holdings.
I know people whose mother treated them poorly as a child to the point of abuse (the father was also involved). I'm talking things like spanking and shaming them in front of the other siblings, enforcing strict religious rules on them, and basically homeschooling and isolating them from the outside world because the rest of the world were "sinners". I know several people like that who are now suffering from trust issues, anxiety, and depression. Not to mention they ended up hating that religion for obvious reasons.

I'm grateful that my mother was not like that, but then again, shouldn't it be the bare minimum a parent can do for their children?

AppKit is first because this was extracted from a cross platform GUI library I was building years ago, and it’s just less cumbersome to iterate on.
I'm not the GP, but treating students as tabula rasa is a big part of the problem. Another is treating students as the average of their cohort.

> with good mentors

Most people don't get mentors until the latter part of undergraduate, at best. They don't even get people asking pertinent questions as to what they (the students) want to do, or are interested in, and what problems or issues they are having. Asking these questions is not an easy process, as the asker doesn't know about the student in order to ask pertinent questions, and the student often lacks the life knowledge to give the most pertinent answers. But even a bad processes would be preferable to nothing.

I know now what guidance I should have sought. But other students aren't me. It's a sad fact that it's pretty much only those who successfully navigated the system who are in a position to give informed advice and mentorship to students today. Our teachers are the successes. Those who failed are, at best, object lessons who we never hear from.

Some pedagogues try to research successes versus failures to generate lessons on how to instruct and credential better. And I wish them well.
Do you have any evidence for that? Note that knitting is a specific thing, we're not talking about all woven textiles generally.
Wasn't this note from someone at Google discussed on HN last week, before The Economist picked it up?

It is a huge issue for Google. Not because they're behind, but because chat engines don't seem to map well to an ad-supported model. Unless they talk like the Youtubers who start with "But first, let me tell you about our sponsor, FBX Crypto".

They do map well to a surveillance model. That's already getting regulator attention. Look what happened to TikTok, which is really good at focusing on a user's interests. Chat engines focus like that. They have to, to work well.
Okay, this isn't quite what you asked but it's close: we can decide to go on an errand and remember what we were doing even if we didn't write it down. (Though sometimes we do forget, so shopping lists are useful.)

This doesn't mean our justifications are accurate, but at least we do sometimes have "debug logs," some memories (perhaps faint and inaccurate) of internal thoughts that we can use to try to reconstruct what we were thinking.

An LLM cannot remember anything it didn't write down. It can't do that at all. They would need to change the API.
I would hesitate calling squeeth an option. No expiration, no strike price. Is it really an option anymore? Or just a perp with gamma?

As someone who does targeted scraping of forums, I can say having a good open API and caching is probably the best way to decrease load.

If you use Cloudflare, turn off their anti-bot stuff. It is far more efficient to let them just serve bots from the cache than having scrapers use tricks to bypass them and go directly to your origin server.
> If we’re at the point where that’s the problem I think we won’t have a problem anymore

You're making it sound like that's an issue that won't show up for years or decades down the line, but the effects (ie. manufacturing companies being penalized more than high tech/knowledge work companies) will show up on day 1.

>This isn’t an academic exercise, there are millions of people struggling while a small handful live in extreme luxury, the whole point is to fix this problem

>The actual number figure is less relevant than having things rebalanced - greed based inequality is like ebola it rapidly destroys families and communities. Just eliminating that alone is a great start

Easing inequality is a laudable goal, but doing it in an unfair way is no way to get public support for it.
This.

I've been fairly active for the last five or so years, lifting weights and walking more. While it has absolutely improved my overall posture, I still regularly catch myself slouching in front of the computer.

It's just so easy to let yourself go, especially when I'm deep in thought for prolonger periods of time. Paradoxically WFH has had a negative effect on this particular point, since I can go for hours on end without anyone distracting me (but it's been positive on the whole since I can easier program my workouts and meals).
FWIW, I’m the author and I think I wrote that line close to 5 years ago already… so you may be right. :)
