I rarely read people talk about intrisic vs extrinsic. But I've seen this on the field in various jobs. Intrinsic motivation is rarely rewarded (and most of the time ground down). That's why a lot of people just want their own WFH gig so they can keep reaching higher levels as they see fit.

What do you try to imply with your statement?

I don't know that he was trying to imply anything. But I find it useful information, since there are lots of companies with IT Security departments that will more heavily scrutinized software based on its geographic origin.

When I joined my company, one of the first things I was tasked with was determining the origin of all of the software installed by my predecessor. Some of it got chucked out because it was from certain places.

And this was looong before anyone started dropping bombs in Kyiv.

It's not weird for a company in the UK to favor UK software, or a company in Japan to favor Japanese software, etc.

Never judge value of something by how much it costs to produce, it's not fair. Judge it by how much people are willing to pay for it. And in most major metropolitan areas you're paying premium for your rent to outbid all other renters that would be ready to live in such a lucrative place.

In essence, you're paying back not only to people who work in construction, but to ask the people who made this city so desired, over many generations. It takes much more than a month of work per renter to create all the value that you get from living in New York or San Francisco.

If all you need is literally just shelter regardless of location, there's plenty of places around the globe where you could rent a perfectly good apartment for $300 per month.

Assertion 1) Vicuna 13B is as good as bard and chat gpt.

Assertion 2) LoRA can stack infinitely and every LoRA you stack on top is additive only, increasing capability knowledge with no downside.

I think you can make your own mind up if you choose to believe these assertions, and judge for yourself if the author is on the right track or not.

I will link however, to the actual comments by the authors of vicuna, specifically the limitations and evaluation section: https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-03-30-vicuna/#how-to-evaluate-a-...

Supabase is pure Postgres running on AWS, so migrations are pretty straightforward. Things mostly depend on where you're migrating to/from, and the network latency between the source and destination. 40GB should take minutes in most cases.
"...what is it we need but more life? What does the infant need but more life? What does the bosom of his mother give him but life in abundance? What does the old man need, whose limbs are weak and whose pulse is low, but more of the life which seems ebbing from him? Weary with feebleness, he calls upon death, but in reality it is life he wants. It is but the encroaching death in him that desires death. He longs for rest, but death cannot rest; death would be as much an end to rest as to weariness: even weakness cannot rest; it takes strength as well as weariness to rest. How different is the weariness of the strong man after labour unduly prolonged, from the weariness of the sick man who in the morning cries out, 'Would God it were evening!' and in the evening, 'Would God it were morning!' Low-sunk life imagines itself weary of life, but it is death, not life, it is weary of. Never a cry went out after the opposite of life from any soul that knew what life is. Why does the poor, worn, out-worn suicide seek death? Is it not in reality to escape from death?--from the death of homelessness and hunger and cold; the death of failure, disappointment, and distraction; the death of the exhaustion of passion; the death of madness--of a household he cannot rule; the death of crime and fear of discovery? He seeks the darkness because it seems a refuge from the death which possesses him. He is a creature possessed by death; what he calls his life is but a dream full of horrible phantasms." -- George Macdonald, "Unspoken Sermons: Life"

At the end of the day, the stakes are way too high to allow everyone a chance to play cowboy with the tools. You want your best possible champions to bring a design to bear. Then, the other 99% of the army is responsible for implementing the design in as repeatable & standardized a fashion as physically possible so that there is even the remotest chance of yield+profit. Software is the antithesis of this. The cost of playing around with your tools is not even worth accounting for. Due to certain cultural effects, you probably don't want to do software in semiconductor industry unless you really, really like the problem domain.

Even if you don't get to play around with the billion dollar tools, you still get to help troubleshoot some of the most intensely complicated problems on earth. Solving these riddles is very rewarding and the experience will stick with you forever.

> You imply that all companies add value to society and all jobs are meaningful. That’s simply not true.

Most are. Unfortunately, people often don't recognize the immense benefit for society that some industries offer.

Yes. Hindsight is 20/20, and making bets is (often, not always) worth it even if some fail in the end.

This is dark, but it’s interesting to me that the people who jump from a burning building and the people who end themselves on their own time are performing the same calculus.

Look, from a utilitarian perspective, let's say we want to optimize the total amount of time globally.

Let's say FreeBSD dev spends 2 hours fixing a problem that gives a 2ms improvement to the boot time.

Let's assume conservatively that FreeBSD gets booted 1000 times every day globally. That's 2 seconds per day. Scale that to 10 years and you break even.

Nobody cares about "your bicycle" or your internal CRUD app that has maybe 30 users, but FreeBSD is widely used and any minor improvements on it can be presumed to be worth the time fixing.

Maybe you have an axe to grind on the topic of premature optimization, but this FreeBSD fix doesn't seem to be the showcase of developers wasting their time doing meaningless optimizations.

The problem with defaults is, someone won't like them anyway, so trying to make them likeable to everyone, isn't going to happen, no matter how hard we try.

Using ViM as an example, using the keys that are prevalent on a US keyboard, was a sensible approach when it was developed, and since remapping the keys is probably one of the easiest things to do, it's also not an issue. In fact, writing a simple remap into a text file is easier than remapping keys in most "modern" editors, where the option to do so usually lives behind 2 sub-menus hidden behind a hamburger-button, and forcing me to scroll down an endless list that may or may not have a search function. And good luck if I want to export/import my config, or, god forbid, check it into a repo.

> But defaults matter, if you target anyone else.

Products have to target an audience and cater to them. That's how we ended up with alot of the modern webapps sharing the same usability problems, because "being like everyone else because that's what the audience is familiar with" encourages stagnancy, not evolution.

FOSS Tools on the other hand, have the freedom to explore ideas. If people don't like these ideas, they don't have to use the tools.

I wonder if this study is accidentally measuring people’s perception of their potential. I struggle a fair amount with public speaking; it’s a phobia for me, but I also know that I am capable of overcoming it if I prioritize it. So maybe I would seem to think I’m better than I am if the methodology accidentally conflates my belief about my potential with my belief about my current state?

YouTube doesn't have to be good. It just needs to do the minimum it needs to keep users from switching to a different platform... which, because of the network effect of so many people and videos being on it, is not much at all.

>Solving these riddles is very rewarding and the experience will stick with you forever.

That was also my experience working in the semi field (in Europe). People working there weren't in it for obscene compensation, they were into it for the hands on puzzle solving of uniquely complex HW problems with cool and rare expensive machinery. Some were quite significantly underpaid and while they knew it they never felt the need to complain too badly about it. I guess it's kind of like arts, which is a shame, because here some publicly traded corporation is abusing you for your passion.

Also, the fact that most of Europe doesn't have many FAANGs and big SW companies paying orders of magnitude more to un-balance the jobs market, surely help to not discourage people from this industry.
That sounds innocuous.

Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I didn't model it after a few of the comments I read here. It was quite disappointing reading the article which made no real points other than a strawmen to jerk off their ego only to then come to the comments to see a bunch of people who seemed to think it was so profound.

You're right, it's basically manifest destiny 2.0.

It's actually quite sad how techbros ruin the perception of legitimately useful technology because they're too dumb to try and figure out how to use it beyond a "How can I make a quick buck with this and be the next FAANG, I'm going to be the next Elon Musk brooooooooooo." Then when their half baked attempt at monetization flops they burn the public's perception and make it harder to fund other things. They also seem to think they "understand the science" and that anything can be managed with it while refusing to acknowledge that the body of unknown knowledge exceeds what we do know, and even what we do know is mostly rough approximations that fall apart when you try and stretch them beyond their narrow scope.

(And there's no way there could be things we haven't accounted for that would accelerate issues... https://phys.org/news/2023-05-rapid-ice-greenland.html) (And millions of people being displaced won't lead to billions of people being disrupted or any wars over the remaining viable land and affect the economy, right? Wait war is usually good for the economy, maybe we can spin this climate catastrophe as a positive thing!)

The sickening part is that if this experiment in egotistical anthropocentrism goes horrifically sideways I know we're just going to be stuck listening to "How could we have known this would happen?! Why are you even focused on that, you should be worried about your survival!" from those in their yachts and those still deluded to believe it was a good idea, over and over again until you die from a marauder, hunger, thirst, or a brain aneurysm from listening to them.

Show HN: Mapname – anonymous social network for organising points of interest
Hello HN,

with mapname you can create a unique name for any particular point of interest as in prefix(id).group(optional).suffix.

Once a mapname created then this can be used as an address, discovered and socialised.

Mapname is free and has no advertisements. At onboarding pick a unique prefix. That is all about onboarding.

Users can also organise collection of places with just two words, for example coffee shops i like at NY is abc.1 or I have visited Melbourne last year where you can see at abc.melbourne

Mapname designed as an anonymous Social Network where users particular perspective engage with like minded users, instead of their persona. Personal Images are not promoted.

Here is one minute user guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G42THV9YcY4

More mapnames are on twitter https://twitter.com/NameYourWay

You can consider this as "Pinterest of coordinates"

Another way to think this; mapname(s) to coordinate(s) is similar to domain name(s) to ip address(es).

Instead of hard to remember IP Addresses we use domain names. Similarly instead of coordinates or map list urls a mapname can be in use.

Between mapname and a coordinate 1->1 or N->1 or 1->N relationships are possible.

Whenever a mapname visited, the most relevant what3words attached to it so that you may communicate whichever is more relevant.

Mapname is trying to reduce friction while describing addresses and organising points of interests, for transportation, navigation, directions uses integrations.

A mapname can be viewed in your favourite maps (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Yandex Maps, Bing Maps, Baidu Maps) or with what3words, citymapper, waze.

it is available on android & ios, feel free play with it, any feedback or question is appreciated.

What other location/navigation/map integration would you benefit?

If X works in something low level like device physics then there are a limited number of companies doing cutting edge fab stuff like that. Intel, TSMC, Samsung. The small number of companies limits your salary potential.

You should be very careful about comparing raw salary numbers: a much better metric to compare is "'salary' minus 'cost of living at the job location'".
My impression is that they are locked in an arms race of confidence and ambition. If we take a step back those are qualities that work best in moderation, balanced with other qualities that are in some ways opposite (realism and modesty perhaps?).

But when one side of those balancing acts gets into focus too much it can become an arms race, a success metric that in a way becomes self-fulfilling more than it deserves. If we look closely, and freed somehow from our baseline expectations (to an American, confidence arms race will just feel normal), we can probably detect similar patterns in just about any community.
