The alternative to webapps in JavaScript are desktop apps.

Do you really think the situation would have been better with desktop apps? sha256(/etc/passwd) or whatever the equivalent of that is on Windows and you're done. Even in a sandbox where you don't have access to these files there are still plenty of opportunities, such as just reading the environment, solib versions, testing support for hardware features, etc.

> How about job loss?

This is called creative destruction, and it's not even remotely a new problem created by this particular technology, it's a constant and ongoing mechanism of market capitalism by which technology streamlines or improves something that then requires less labor to accomplish.

When the 400k+ telephone switch operators lost their jobs to digitization, it didn't cause a mass die off of humans, and while I won't say it was a zero bad consequences event, they mostly found other work, work that was probably more interesting and more productive. We certainly could have regulated telephone digitization to prevent this "danger" and instead employed 4.5 million people, or about 3 percent of the labor force, to operate the phone network today as it would have existed technologically in the 1970s, but I'm happy we skipped the scare mongering and went the digitization route, which probably also was a prerequisite for the internet to be able to be used by.. users (which mostly used digital phone services via modems to connect). Would even consumer internet access exist today if they decided to regulate the "danger" of losing analog phone operator jobs?

Either way, I fail to see how allowing only licensed and government regulated companies to work on machine learning will do anything to improve anyone's job prospects moving forward, as increasingly onerous requirements created by people that like to say things like "the internet is a bunch of tubes" make it so only a few rent-seeking monopolies will be able to do anything (legally) with the technology.

I'm not 100% against government regulation, but it's early, things are relatively benign so far (sans self driving cars), let's wait until there's some actual non-sci-fi concerns that emerge and then tackle them as specific things to regulate, rather than wrapping the whole thing into a giant regulatory framework that incorrectly calls it AI before we even learn what the problems are going to be.

I think parts of the write-up are great.

There are some unique assumptions being made in parts of the gist

> 10: Cost Ratio of OpenAI embedding to Self-Hosted embedding

> 1: Cost Ratio of Self-Hosted base vs fine-tuned model queries

I don't know how useful these numbers are if you take away the assumptions that self-hosted will work as well as API.

> 10x: Throughput improvement from batching LLM requests

I see that the write up mentions memory being a caveat to this, but it also depends on the card specs as well. Memory Bandwidth / TFLOPs offered by say 4090 is superior while having the same amount of VRAM as 3090. The caveat mentioned with token length in the gist itself makes the 10x claim not a useful rule of thumb.
Yes, him being the head of an AI company means you should be skeptical. But jumping right to "let's do the exact opposite" is not sensible.

Also, sitting right next to him was Gary Marcus, who doesn't have a dog in the fight as far as I know, and he agreed with a most of the recommendations.
>You say a small group can't just form their own country, or in this case, they cannot just form their own union, but they actually could if only the mega-union did not already exist. Thus, my claim that large unions prevent small groups from organizing and collectively bargaining is true. The small group could form their own union if the large union hadn't removed their ability to do so.

The small group can form their own union. They just won't be a part of the big union anymore. Like I said, they need to leave the union/state/country.

I don't understand what argument you are really making here. Even within your hypothetical small group, there can be an even smaller group. You effectively are arguing against any type of collective because there will always be some people who disagree.
OP moves the goalposts, not the comments:

"Here’s my HTML lexer. It doesn’t try to do a validating parse; it just identifies the lexical elements. You might think of it more as an HTML chunker than an HTML parser. It isn’t very forgiving of broken HTML, although it makes some very small allowances in that direction."

What you say here will be deeply unpopular.

I have found that people treat depression and anxiety like a medical condition -- diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Yet I can measure those numbers, compare them with other people similar to me, determine what ranges are outside the norm, and observe changes as I try different strategies to manage them.

Depression, like physical pain, can neither be measured nor compared. And if this analogy holds, then there are those who would rather dull their pain with medication and claim victimhood, rather than find the source of it.
It's not so great if you're a lesbian, unfortunately. Female-only dating and social spaces have been almost entirely eradicated, and women who complain about this get endlessly harassed.

This guy wasn't even on his porch. Stand your ground laws essentially allow gun owners to claim they were frightened for their lives so that becomes "their castle". Wouldn't be very hard to repurpose this kind of weaponized law to actually defend your household.

btw - castle doctrine was intended to apply within property lines. If someone is on your doorstep, they are likely already clearly on your property.

All of this is theoretical but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this is used for exactly what you said it shouldn't allow.

Take from a musicologist and semi-professional performer: IMSLP is great for finding quick scores of random stuff, but the editions are often pretty shoddy, like either super outdated with weird editorial decisions that no one's agreed with for the last 50 years, or someone's totally amateur transcription full of errors and equally weird decisions. Treat it like you might treat Wikipedia as a research source (ok as an initial point of entry, but soon you want to dig into the real sources).

This seems a bit pointless. After using ChatGPT for so long to do writing in professional context (documentation, description of how things work etc.), so that I can reduce my cognitive load, as these things are not my forte and I always struggle to write. I learned that on many occasions, I would write something exactly as if ChatGPT would have written it. Basically, brain learns and adapts, seeing patterns. In a few years, you probably won't know if something was written by AI or by human as everyone will be writing in the same style.

Both Docker and Jetbrains are working on software projects just like the rest of us. There is still boring shit work to do that no one else wants to do, so they need junior devs to shovel it off to. So yes, they have juniors, mid-levels, and everything up to staff and beyond. They are no different than any other company.

The difference is probably that it is harder to get those jobs because everyone wants to work for the flashy exciting companies. I was considered for a job at Docker a long time ago (when I was an early-midlevel) and the recruiter told me that over 1,200 people applied in 5 days. For entry-level/intern positions I assume it is similar or even worse.

Hello, This is Brandon!

We were having issues with the manufacturer but luckily we have been able to deal with those without compromising our customers data. We were supposed to receive all the boards that we needed to fulfill all pre-orders, but the manufacturer sent us just half of the items. We have already started shipping the ones that we received this week, we are hoping to continue to fulfill those during this week and receive the reminder of boards in the next few weeks.

If you want to check the status of your particular order please email us to orders@ameridroid.com and I will be happy to check that out for you.
On HN, it's not ok to use the title field to point out what you think is important about an article. That's called editorializing, and it's disallowed by https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

(Submitted title was "DuckDuckGo owns the #2 position in mobile market share in the US".)

If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

Titles are by far the biggest influence on discussion, so this is an important rule.
One thing, it's ambiguous if they are speaking of only jobs inside the city, or any job in the republic/empire. It's also ambiguous if this is limited to jobs only performed by free individuals. Some things that didn't make the list.

* Free individuals sometimes became Gladiators

* While very clean for ancient standards, their sewage system required a lot of manual maintenance.

* We know sailors we subject to scurvy, which suggests they spent most of their time on ship and had very poor diets.

* Prostitution was legal.

* Without an understanding of germ theory, anyone dealing with very sick or dead individuals could be subject to poor health outcomes.

* Lots of work would have been extremely physically taxing by today's standards. Lifting heavy things. Farming with hand tools. Blacksmithing.
Wow I think this is the first time it's been insinuated I'm a paid shill! Also being a noble genuine worker's rights movement AND a movement being amplified by foreign actors aren't mutually exclusive. If you want to cause internal strife of course it makes sense to pick a cause with credibility and grassroots support. Like I'm sure the US would jump at the chance to promote sweeping democratic reforms in its major opponents. That cause sounds pretty noble but the US's interest in promoting it is certainly not noble.

Also even the credible threat of something being the result of foreign influence, whether true or not, can already create the desired conflict. As we've demonstrated.

Back to the topic, I really have no opinion on whether r/antiwork has malicious influence. I have no idea on that. And either way the cause is still a just one. But my comment above was just noting that if it being influenced then those actors aren't "motivated to improve US working conditions", as the parent commenter said.
There were plenty of cellphones that people loved the "sexy" design of, which did well commercially. Motorola RAZR for one, particularly the v3 "Noir", Danger Sidekick/Hiptop, especially the 2 and 3 with teens. The modding/customizing scene was a sensation at one point, was big with the hip-hop scene. Lots of celebrities made it a desirable thing.

If you consider that CBT scratches a need for deep socialization, they all basically act on serotonin in different ways. I don’t buy the oversimplified “depression is when your brain doesn’t make enough serotonin” model but it does seem there is a strong connection.

Maybe there is some kind of local optimum your serotonin-mediated pathways can get stuck in and need help getting out of. In fact, this (generalized outside of just serotonin) is something I do buy as a basis for depression: your brain enters some local optima or learns some poor but good-enough coping mechanisms that keep you going but prevent you from fixing underlying issues (whether it be due to maladaptive behavior, framing or interpreting things negatively, low self esteem leading to poor social performance and consequently lower self esteem). That’s also kinda what CBT is about addressing
> These people do stupid CRUD API micro-service bullshit because they're blissfully ignorant of how tremendously amazing their software could be if they fired 90% of their boot-camp dev ops and replaced them with a handful of 10x staff-level developers

I wish this was true, I really do. But a few staff developers cannot physically handle the volume of work required to replace that many developers.

Staff developers are good at solving complex problems that many other developers combined could not solve. They are not good at writing 10x more LOC than other developers.
Reading between the lines it sounds like they are only using their own crawlers and other partners for things like widgets, while all their regular search results are still just Bing.

> Tough to penalize us because Android does not expose RCS APIs

As someone speaking from a genuine place of ignorance, the Google page relating to RCS https://jibe.google.com/ seems to imply that RCS is just a universal specification and there are a number of documents that seem relevant after a search for "gsma rcs specification".

Is this an Android permissions thing where the only practical way to implement RCS support would be through a Google-supplied API?
> On Linux, there are some GNOME guidelines, there are some KDE guidelines, nothing really universal

Because, although X has (or had) ICCCM, "we" can ignore it. Especially if "we" are desktop.org.
Been mostly using DDg for the last 3 years, but in the last two months the experience has really gone down. First off the results take upwards to 6 second to load and the quality seems to have been hit as well.

I have been wondering if thisnis due to some changes with Bing (which is the underlying engine as far as I know).
On the other side of this... I've recently been working on a new project that is more or less utilizing a 'long-tail first' SEO strategy (ugh, I know) and I've seen very surprising numbers from DDG... responsible for effectively 1/3 of my search referred traffic (google representing 50%).

Cool stuff. I looked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopper_%28microarchitecture%29 and I noticed that that the fp8 support is only for the tensor cores and not the CUDA side. Does that mean training with H100 GPU in fp8 mode would use some software ecosystem that's not the existing vast existing CUDA one? Or am I just misunderstanding CUDA cores vs tensor cores?
