I have just built a Notion integration that pulls pages into our statically built API documentation website, and it was, frankly, horrible. While the end result works (the team can write docs in the tool they know, the site is built and released from the structure there automatically), it was a lot of pain to even discern children from their parent pages, parse attributes or let alone get databases right.

Considering I’ll need to get other data in there soon, probably, I’m in the market for Psychic. The question I have, though, is: can you really reconcile the Schema of several apps into one, without settling for the smallest common denominator? What do you do about platforms like Notion, that don’t even provide webhooks? We settled on polling, but obviously that won’t scale.
I don’t really have a problem checking faces against a known police database - provided there’s good laws about how people end up on that list. But people not on that list should not be tracked

How do you organize your monorepo?
How do you organize your monorepo? I'm not asking about massive Google scale. Say, 1-15 million lines of code.

By project? By language? By technology type?

My current sketch:

.dotfile # Configuration, IDE, etc
project1/ # High-level project
library1a/
library2b/
project2/ # High-level project
library2a/
library2b/
go-common/ # Common Go libraries
js-common/ # Common JS libraries
tools/ # Compilers

But every time I think about this, I'm not quite satisfied. Curious what others have found successful for mid-size monorepo.

They're generally sanitary (when maintained) and are a whole septic system. And are attached to flush toilets.

That's massively different than raw sewage making it to streams and rivers.

However none of this really matters because the point is that many rural Russians lack access to water and proper sewage (apparently as laid out in the above previous links). So politely you're wrong. Have a good day.

I stand corrected, thanks. There's a lot of info on the internet that says a written form of ASL doesn't exist, which is what I found when I Googled it.

Looking into it, it seems very much at the experimental stage in terms of digital representation -- while Unicode symbols exist, they require being placed in 2D boxes (using a drawing tool like SVG). It seems like it's only in the past few years that there have been proposals for how to turn it into a linear canonical text encoding?

Is anyone actually using those linear encodings -- SignPuddle or Formal SignWriting, they seem to be called -- in the wild, outside of demonstration texts or academia? Especially since they only date to 2016 and 2019.

Is there anywhere close at all to a corpus that Meta could train on? Because it still seems like the answer is no, but I also got my research wrong when Google gave no indication that SignWriting existed in the first place.
If ultimate control of the machine was the top consideration then I agree.

On the other hand, if the goal is to have a small, light, portable, good-on-battery laptop that can run Linux console apps (with the ability to powerwash to firmware if the user suspects malware) then maybe a chromebook would be better
I still hate the name “meta”. You?
I think there is a pretty sizeable difference between "human perception of the world is necessarily mediated by sense organs" and "all human textual output exhaustively covers the world and can be used to comprehensively describe and navigate it". Unless we are solipsists, we tend to agree that the world maintains a presence whether we are sensing it or not, and that even our senses are merely a limited reflection of what the world is and not the ground truth; that when our ideas or senses don't match the world, the world wins. For an LLM however there is nothing outside of text.
This. And I'd add, we'd like a legal environment that rewards people and companies who act in this way over those companies that act unethically in pursuit of profit.
But why would a big model be released? LLaMA can't even begin to compete with GPT-4. Fine-tuning won't make it more intelligent. The only entity currently able to compete with OpenAI/Microsoft is Google with their planned Gemini model.
Isn't that trivially calculable?

Your profit was $20 before, now $25 after. So you got a 25% increase in income (!) for a 10% increase in expenses. The consumer saw a 12.5% increase in price.

And that's what is being reported on corporate earning calls.
The US government willingly gave up this duty by popular vote, through politicians promising it would all "trickle down".

Ctrl-F the above post. He wasn't talking about M2 money supply.

He was talking about ZIRP and QE. Presumably 2008 QE1, 2010 QE2, and 2012 QE3. (Either talking about those, or preferring to ignore those historical moments). At least, all the online people for the last decade have been calling "QE1 / QE2 / QE3" the money printer. (You know, not the people who understand the economy. But the people who use words like ZIRP, Money Printer, and inflation in the same sentence).

We have a complex economy with many issues. But the one thing I've learned is to never trust what the ZeroHedge doomers say.

Sometimes, the Hawks are correct. Sometimes, the doves are correct. But without a doubt, the conspiracy theorists will come out of the woodwork and complain about money printers or whatever (despite M2 declining this past year).
> There’s a new EU-US data framework that’s expected to be ratified within a year which should make EU-US transfers possible again under new guidelines.

There’s already been two attempts at this, both of which were ratified, then struck down by the ECJ.

There’s already clear indications that attempt there isn’t much better than attempt one and two, and the smart money is betting on it not being ratified, or being struck down if it is.

In the meantime it’s been illegal for a years to transfer EU data to the U.S. So even if it did suddenly become legal, those laws aren’t going to retrospect, and Facebook still engaged in blatantly illegal behaviour.
While Google is busy catching up with OpenAI, Meta AI team is releasing astonishing open-source AI models.

For better or worse, Facebook has immense amount of data from posts, messages, videos, reels (instagram) ... etc where they can make better AI products.

> That would be like saying, a few years before the Wright brothers, that human powered flight is a sci-fi notion.

That would have been exactly correct at the time. The difference between real and sci-fi is implemented technology.

There are certainly classes of sci-fi technology that we know are likely impossible fantasies, but that doesn't mean the rest of it is real.

More the opposite. Corporations are granted charters (and limited-liability) by governments because they are extensions of governments. They're either meant to

1) take risks to accomplish goals that would be beneficial to government, but that government does not want to risk itself, [e.g. if there were no grocery stores, government would have to feed you, but government doesn't have the information to choose locations and stock stores effectively, which competition provides]

2) allow the government to do things that government isn't allowed to do directly [e.g. censor content, cut off undesirables from financial services, pay lower than their current government union contracts or legislation], or to

3) aid the transfer of wealth from government to insiders through either government overpayment for services it could more cheaply provide itself, or by having looser labor/materials sourcing/pollution regulation or monitoring than government does, providing self-dealers a margin built from externalities.

Yes, because you can measure the amount of antibodies as many times as you want; and you can be pretty certain they are the direct result of the vaccine.

Definitely worth exploring but as you've experienced there are enough problems with extracting and normalizing data across the long tail of SaaS apps for us to get to reasonable scale.

re: the Asana API issue, that's both hilarious and sad. We do plan to build a transformation layer so that all data is reshaped to a consistent schema before sending it off to customers (hence the "Universal" aspect of the API). These quirks of each data source are exactly the kinds of things we want to solve for so our users don't need to worry about it.
Go look at your cleaning products aisle in your local grocery store. Every single item is created by one of two brands, with a couple items from tiny, niche, lifestyle brands.

Every other aisle is the same story. Two or three companies, with a few small groups also throwing a hat in the ring.

The grocery store is also owned by one of two companies, with again, a couple small time competitors that haven't been purchased yet.
The apps absolutely already do merge any orders they can. They can't control conditions at the restaurant or on the road however and so a lot of the job is really being a flunky and waiting in line and in traffic which are both quite high around lunch and early evening. It scales very poorly and you probably don't want your order sitting in someone's car for half an hour while they wait for another customer's order.

As far as paying well, I don't think that was ever really expected, but these companies just seem like losers for all but those who managed to cash out in the IPO.
It's not a matter of "cheaper or better" batteries, EVs need more supply of batteries, total.

Tesla can't get enough of them. That's why Tesla is building giga factories and buying from CATL, BYD etc.

Iirc, other EV companies are also struggling to get any batteries, and are facing difficulty ramping production. Ford's F150 Lightening is massively popular, but Ford just can't make enough of them, because battery supply isn't matching demand.
Getting into Your Competitor’s Head
Spain's politicians don't understand what this ban means. In their eyes, it's like allowing a policeman to open suspicious mail at the post office; and no, it's like getting your mail in transparent envelopes, or receiving all your online shopping in crystal boxes. However, nobody will convince them since someone has sold them the other idea: the same people who sell ultra-expensive software to government that causes nothing but problems.
I believe your parent commenter is being sarcastic by quoting the "nothing to hide" meme. Politicians notoriously have many things to hide.
This. Very nearly zero people want to bring about a dystopia. They think they're doing the opposite, even when everyone else is telling them they're making a mistake.

Debt. Since wages are generally lagging increases in costs, people are putting more on credit.
I was under the impression that except for a few truly extraordinary industrial sectors (or even just one or two companies within them), profit margins are razor thin.

So if their normal 2.1% profit margin goes up to 2.104%, isn't that "record profits"? It's not a very interesting story, and won't much rouse the rabble on reddit.

I'm not sure that they have to be able to show "record profits" so much as they just have to spin it that way.
Nah, GDPR is great.

For example now random security camera operator can't just take some scenes and post it on youtube, as that would violate GDPR in several ways and few companies paid tens to hundreds of thousands in fines for that.

It also cut sooo much bullshit when it comes to PII management. Because there is actual teeth behind it very little companies will try the old trick of "oh you wrote email to us ? Let's just send marketing stuff on that", as that would require separate consent.

The question is lacking historical context of the declaration of state sovereignty of Ukraine from 1990 to be worthy of specificity you’re willing to hear.

Nobody in the US knows what Bakhmut is, let alone where it is, let alone its strategic importance. Whatever the reasoning behind contesting it, none of it ties back to US sentiment.

Fair point. We always hear about the NSA has this or that. The calls to ban encryption are lower in the US, so I wonder if NSA has something they just won’t share with Europe?
In 5th grade, way back in the 80s, my school had a mini-course in skimming that we took for a few weeks. They taught various techniques and the tests were pretty cool: here's 30 pages of text, you have 10 minutes to skim, and now here's a multiple-choice test about the material. Super practical skill and I see nothing like it in my own kids' curriculum. The big lesson was there being more than one way to consume text via reading.
IOCP is syscall free only on one side i.e. completion. io_uring can be syscall free on submission side as well.
It's fine if all platforms where you want your passwords can run bash scripts, git and gpg. Linux and macOS can do it fine. Windows might, although it gets flaky. Android and iOS can’t, at least not in any human-friendly way.
Yes, but for it to function you have to solder them. I meant hot-swappable switches. On the ergodox, I have kept the same base and I just keep on replacing the switches as needed.

I haven't even expressed my opinion on this topic yet you are assuming my stance because you lack nuance. That's why I suggest you read the actual books that are being challenged and come back with a more informed perspective.

I don't think I ever heard any engineer leaving WMF, voluntarily or not, getting 18-month severance. I'm not sure why the CEO should. It's not like she is going to be destitute otherwise. I mean good for her for getting cool half mil just for leaving, but I don't see how it makes any sense for WMF. It's not like "nobody is going to want to be WMF CEO unless they are promised to get half mil for leaving", is it?

Generally WMF's salaries are on the low side - their VP Eng was getting 220K in 2020, and 255K in 2021, which is kinda low for a VP of a decent-sized engineering org - but that doesn't answer the question of severance.
Personally I hear about money printing ALL THE TIME. This is the first time I've heard a serious discussion about companies opportunistically raising prices.

A decent private company that's doing well would be smart to periodically offer stockholders a tender offer, just so that they can enjoy some liquidity before they keel over. When companies do that, there's usually a restriction that prevents selling more than, say 10% of one's holdings.
It isn't, and this is partly why this kind of price-gouging can go on. Company x, sees a rise of say 5 percent in material cost, 5 percent in labor cost, they raise retail prices 25 percent.
$1.3bil is a huge sum of money. To put that into perspective you could pay 260 engineers $500k a year for 10 years with that money.

Or 260 engineers $1mil a year for 5 years with that money.

You honestly think it would take it would 2600-13000 engineers 10 years to do the work needed for compliance?
Show HN: TestNot – No-code platform for UI testing
Sort of. In the strictest sense, yes - the cq is a ring buffer (implemented with fancy atomic stuff), so you have to check if there is a completion on the queue before you read the entry. However, this doesn't need a syscall to do polling, if more completions come in while you're processing, they will be available to you.

There's also a syscall (io_uring_enter) that will do a context switch and wake you up when completions are available (it's a complicated syscall, that has a lot of knobs and switches and levers - just be ready for a LOT of information if you go read the man page).
The "inflation allows companies to hike prices" theory is circular reasoning, because inflation IS companies hiking prices in mass and not suffering a sales losses sufficient to dissuade them form doing so.

It's absolutely true that in an inflationary environment companies hike prices preemptively. That is the phenomenon known as inflation. Missing from similar theories is any explanation of why this happens sometimes and not others.
yup, its an artifact of our religious past

Quote: "The results not only help demystify how ANNs learn, but also suggest that human brains may not come already equipped with hardware and software specially designed for language."

I thought this was common knowledge. I mean if we'd come with already specialized hardware for language at birth we'd speak directly just as a new born puppy barks. Or if we'd have specialized software then children of geniuses would be geniuses themselves. And both cases, are obviously not happening in real life.
