Integer subdivisions are kinda arbitrary too as well

Probably we limit ourselves a lot if we're too confined to those without being able to express our energy

But someone who is trained explicitly to play exact integer divisions will have trouble expressing their energy as much
Holy shit you weren't kidding about that image. I was expected a red house with red TVs in it with a white background in a pleasant "Google-y"/ 'kawaii corporate-memphis' style.

It is decidedly dark / menacing / imposing / threatening, not playful at all.
The language is unfortunate.

For this case specifically the meaning is clear, but often the shorthand gets translated into concrete statements of facts in a more general context, eg. "humans started doing _____ 5000 years ago", whereas what they really mean "the earliest known evidence of humans doing _____ is 5000 years ago".

And as other comments in this thread seem to indicate, even claiming that human kissing could have gone on (unrecorded) for millions of years is disputed. So how is anyone supposed to interpret this new "finding"? Should we think kissing only happened for a couple thousands of years (and probably not more than that)? If that's what we're supposed to conclude, I think these short hands are actively harmful, because they purport to tell people information whereas IMHO it shouldn't inform us of anything at all.
1) is it so strange that a math genius could have a mullet

2) he didn't turn to a math genius he turned to someone who was obsessed with math but didn't seem to understand it so well
> You are probably right but man, isn't this so very disillusioning?

Look at it this way:

Your boring, cushy tech job only exists because the industry as a whole is grossly inefficient.

That's why so many people are doing nearly the same thing, over and over and over, day after day.

If it wasn't for that inefficiency you would need to find other work, and it would probably be a lot more difficult than your current job.

So, glass half full.
I would be surprised if all governments didn't want to ban e2e encryption except for their own usage.
Most technology is able to do useful things by building layers of simpler things.

Files are not sequences of bytes in day to day computing. They are videos, or databases, or applications. Actually a lot of the time you'll be doing your day to day computing, thousands of files are being accessed and you wouldn't even know it.
We looked into this! If you want to go regional range, you really need high speed rail (who's trying to sit on a train that goes slower than cars on the highway...)

High speed rail is prohibitively expensive. Besides the rail itself, you need to do grade separation from the ground so the rail can be flat, environmental impact studies, and in the US where private property rights are very strong, you might need to pay the land owners.

Look at the proposed price tags of the past 4 high speed rail projects in the US (none came to fruition):
- California High Speed Rail: $77B
- Acela High Speed Rail (NE Corridor): $150B
- Texas Central: $20B
- Virgin Trains Florida High Speed Rail: $4B (just Orlando to West Palm!)

I wish it was as simple as electric trains! Would save us a lot of engineering...
That happened because Detroit manufacturers failed to keep up with quality and supply chain innovations, plus the lack of smaller cars during the energy crisis. Asian manufacturers ate Detroit’s lunch AND dinner, it wasn’t the evil unions screwing things up.
The article can be summarized as: context richer prompt history yields answers that are better aligned with expectations.

> the practical constraint of a finite context window coupled with meta-in-context learning’s rapid prompt length increase

The model is not influenced by the added context. The answers are. The abstractions, or, what the LLM "knows", are in the model itself, whereas the answers are just byproducts.

There is an ongoing related discussion on LLMs lacking world model. One could say LLMs do implement a computable model, albeit a dead, static, non-editable one.
No worries, I have also been convicted of sloppy speech!

But yeah, for OP: this is why this is a hard question to answer without specifics. What jurisdiction are you in, what crime, how long ago, what job? These details matter.

If you’re really unsure most employment lawyers offer a free consultation. Good luck.
In the U.S., criminal background checks are standard practice.
You don't even need that rule of thumb here. I believe Elon's very public tantrums on and regarding Twitter have shown that he lacks even basic integrity. The gall that he would discuss what is or is not moral from that position.

> There must have been something they made more expensive somewhere to compensate

Milk and eggs? Probably they saw a dip in spending because people can't afford extras. Cheaper delivery can get people to add-spend "cause I'm already paying for delivery, should make it worth it".
Read on - what they were really afraid of was the dirty/smelly poors coming onto their precious island.

You see the same BS with bike paths through residential neighborhoods. Despite studies showing that bike paths increase property values, residents bitch and moan about safety/crime. They basically figure that poor/non-white people will bike into their neighborhood and rape/pillage/burn everything.

So you get a bunch of environmental concern-trolls funded by wealthy people who don't want to admit that, really, it's about race/class.
Ask HN: Advice on how to stop being briefly addicted to hobbies?
Hi! I find myself cycling between hobbies. I'll pick up guitar and get into it for a short while, then be totally bored. Then I'll pick up hobby electronics and watch youtube videos all night, then drop it two weeks later. And so on and so forth.

Any advice? I feel like it triggers an addiction part of my brain, like the other week where I hadn't played video games in two years, then picked up Factorio again and played all night - having to call in sick to work two days in a row due to the addiction.

Helpful resources on addiction are usually focused on the "bad" stuff - alcohol, gambling, porn. I suppose the same principles apply to "getting too into to things too fast and burning bright", but curious if anyone had practical insights here. Perhaps I should just embrace having many interests, even if I don't make progress in them? Although I also would like to make progress on things...

I misread the article when it stated:

It may be quite cost prohibitive to use a managed service like AWS Global Accelerator.
The commute and the open office layout. If getting to the office doesn’t take a big bite out of my day and salary and I’m given an environment that makes me more productive than I am at home, I’m happy to go to the office.

That’s unusual, though. Usually getting to/from work takes at minimum of an hour (30m both ways), either due to traffic or from being pushed out way from where the office is located in order to be able to afford the rent/mortgage. You’re also usually stuck with an open office where maintaining focus for any period of time is impossible, as opposed to cubicles or private offices.
I have mixed feelings about this. We embed Dropbox Sign to handle the signature step, so that part of the experience is straight from them.

They handle the steps of making sure it's a compliant, legally valid signature, which is great.

However, a lot of the ceremony as you called it is not required to make it a legally binding signature, it's mostly to make people feel like it's legit.

We may take this in-house at some point to streamline it, but Dropbox has been a good partner to us, and I'm grateful that they enabled us to get up and running quickly.

It must be some form of gaslighting for an obviously amoral person to make public announcements of moral platitudes. Why people agree with them is beyond me, is there perverse pleasure in being deeply wrong?

Are you? Have you tried seriously considering his position instead of watching 1 second sound bites OBVIOUSLY taken out of context?

> I was on a bicycle ride listening to this interview when he said it and I literally pulled my bike over and sat for a half hour or so thinking about what I think about the idea

Oh? This musk interview was the first time you learned about unfairness in the world? I'm glad he "got you thinking". Heh.

It is not some extreme, radical position that shutting down your company by staging a strike because you _deserve_ to work from the comfort of your own home is morally tenuous. You can disagree, but acting like musk is a raving lunatic for sympathizing with minimum wage workers who bus to work is nothing short of supreme stupidity.

Honestly the anti musk sentiment around here is so braindead and reactionary its beginning to feel like an astroturfed psyop.
Sure, that makes sense. The large swells in that region tend to be long period. Contouring the swells up and down is going to make some passengers motion sick, but probably not as bad as a regular ferry in the same conditions.
I've never hit the limit because GPT 4 is slow (like a dialup modem) and I don't like waiting for it. Usually I do something else while it's writing a response.

I'd be curious about how Netflix would get access to your SSID. On a mobile app, you'd have to grant that permission - do they now ask for that?
The only time I hit it I usually realize I need a mental break anyway so usually it’s plenty. Suppose it depends on how your using it but for me I ask it for code of things I could write but would rather focus my energy on the bigger problem then a single function to merge two objects while keeping the order sorted of a joined list.. that kind of thing it’s great for
My first job was 40 hours a week in an office, my current job has been full WFH because of covid, transitioning into 3 days in the office. I can tell you factually that the days I'm actually at home in this hybrid setup that I'm way less productive in terms of getting my actual job done than I am days I'm in the office. I think when I was full WFH my at home productivity was actually much higher. However, the days I'm actually in office are way more productive than the average day at my previous job, and I'm pretty sure it's because of the low job productivity WFH days. I think return to office 5 days a week will lower my average in office productivity, resulting in approximate equal job productivity, and leave me less happy overall.

Yes we'll have several sensor systems onboard that augments the captains visual perception, including radar, AIS, and we're looking into computer vision systems as well.

We've been testing these sensor suites in helicopters today. Flying <50 ft off the water at speeds in excess of 100 mph, simulating the seaglider operating conditions. We have plenty of time to detect and avoid traffic even in crowded waterways at speed.
We don't need to ban E2E, especially not "to think of the children". I am thinking of my children when I say I don't want any ban on encryption at all. I want them to enjoy their lives and the internet as I have, without the government constantly sticking its nose in. That's what “thinking of the children” really means if you're being sincere about it.
It's both distressing and amusing to me that so many people think software engineers spend most of their time coding.
> more work completed, but less coordination between teams may not be a net positive

Here's one anecdata: I have never in any job coordinated as much with my team mates and other teams as I have in the past ~3 years of working remotely.

The trick wasn't that we're remote or on-site, what increased our level of coordination was how we work. As a team instead of as a random grouping of individuals.
It makes me wonder how the approval process for the legal arrangement occurred in the first place at the beginning of the F-35 program.

What kind of Air Force chiefs/generals would sign off on a plan where their successors can't even upgrade their own jets without approval from Lockheed Martin?
Your work ethic is very impressive, but what do you mean by 'legit work'? Are you implying remote work is not legitimate? I'm confused because you even state that you spend your days working remotely - are you are obviously very productive at it. Is that not legit work, and only the blue collar is legit?
On the LLM side: the cost / amount of resources that need to be brought to bear for long periods of time

I read it as a direct opposition to the moralizing here oh HN about how it’s morally wrong to not let people work from home. (the “noise” argument, the “I’m individually more productive” arguments and all that)
When he talks about how things are done based on feel instead of complex subdivisions, well normal subdivisions are ultimately done based on feel as well, so there's not much difference really
And that’s the tip of the iceberg. Tons of jobs in the US - especially those dealing directly with finances - pull your credit too, with the justification that people with bad credit are riskier and more likely to steal from the company.
honest question: does public awareness of their invasiveness have any chance of making a difference? does the salt-and-vinegar thing at all meaningfully reduce their population? i have trouble imagining it but would love to hear of evidence to the contrary.

It’s called concern trolling
If I had to try and think of an angle, I guess it could be around the protection of intellectual data.
In the office, it's a controlled environment.
Whereas working from home is essentially taking corporate assets into an uncontrolled environment.

That's what distinguishes seagliders from a GEV! We read the wikipedia article before setting off on this path too ;)

Seagliders are different from all GEVs (aka WIGs) and seaplanes of the past because of our hydrofoils. They lift us out of the water on stilts giving us 5ft of wave tolerance. We accelerate to takeoff speed on the foils (which lets us point into the wind even through waves) and then takeoff onto the wing and settle into ground effect.

Float -> Foil -> Fly
Ah, a minimalist

I think a lot of the speculation about his motivations and just how long of a game he is playing give him too much credit. The past 12 months have been a complete backslide in his credibility. I chalk it up to the fact that he has literally become an attention seeking soundbite machine.
Hard to judge from the truncated context provided there. Was he just saying anybody who wants to work from home is morally wrong? It actually sounded like the conversation was about people who thought they had a right to work from home. If they expected others not to, I can see that as being somewhat hypocritical.
They are taking an authoritarian bent, this is what happens when you think government can solve all your problems.

While I agree that the worst envisioned outcomes did not come to pass, and certainly I do not think they would have been a moral (or even practical) justification for appeasement of military expansionism in any case, I am reminded somewhat of the Y2K debate. Was it never the threat it was imagined to be? Or was the great alarm in advance the reason why sufficient measures were taken to avoid catastrophe? Probably somewhere in between.
I doubt a human cares that much or at least takes the circumstances into account. However, insurance and other policies required to make business possible probably care a lot.
If Elon finds it morally distasteful that blue collar workers' commutes are unpaid, he could simply pay them for their time, or have them work fewer hours for the same pay and benefits.
Would you propose that companies should pay below market rates to create a buffer against these cycles?

Or perhaps not engage in competition with their competitors?

I think the conclusion here is that companies don't control this. If the market pays people more, they pay more. If there's heavy competition they compete and hire aggressively.

You can't predict these cycles. If you could you'd be a billionaire trading on the stock market. So anyone who says that now is just suffering from hindsight bias.

I think the root cause here is government action on monetary policy and interest rates.
Apparently uBlock Origen hid all that from me.

The TV companies' complaint against Downloader is completely meritless. If you're looking for an alternative to Downloader, I recommend TV Bro:

- Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phlox.tvwe...

- Source code: https://github.com/truefedex/tv-bro

I think TV Bro is the only free and open source browser app available on Android TV. The current version lets you choose between GeckoView (Firefox engine) and the default Android WebView (Chrome engine). It integrates an ad blocker and has more features than Downloader.
There is something to be said about individual productivity (whatever that means in a very innovative/creative environment) vs team/company output, just today I saw this in my feed: https://flocrivello.com/changing-my-mind-on-remote-about-bei...
And that's coming from someone who actually tried to build a business out of remote work (TeamFlow was the product).

I can be much more productive at home when it is about my individual contribution (me coding to deliver something unambiguous), but xxx individuals doing this does not necessarily align into a great product: that does not scale.

We've been doing this for 200+ years. All the programming languages we use, and mathematical notation, are based in some way upon natural language concepts (yes even FP languages). So really we're talking about a continuum. And also worth noting that human languages evolve over time. So both programming languages will evolve to be more natural, and natural language will evolve to be more machine-parsable.
We as a small SaaS selling into large companies and Bonterms has made negotiating what previously took months into a few days. The customers legal team agreeing to using this format is the most complicated. We just mention that most real estate deals are negotiated on standard paperwork with an overriding cover page - and so do we. Works amazingly well.
I like them in principle, but they really get annoying for objects with lots of fields (since the order has to exactly match the constructor), or for objects that need to round-trip (because there's twice as much code to write, and no way to verify that they're equal).
Almost all governments want this because they want more power and more control over people's lives.
Is there a plugin you are using to do this?
Or maybe, just maybe, devs are sick of software that pretends it’s still 1995. Nginx is awful to work with, and has an awful community.

The cherry on top is the OpenResty “community”. You know the one that call you an idiot for not pretending Lua is orgasmically good; the one that declares you “just” implement thousands of lines of code because there’s no possible way a useful library could exist; the one with the ecosystem full of awful, worse than js leftpad garbage that hasn’t been updated in three years.

Give me a break. F nginx and openresty.
Kind of a mix of both really.

Anywhere near significant boat traffic (e.g. in harbors), we'll be on our hydrofoils at speeds of 20-50 mph. So in these environments, we're just another boat (albeit a very comfortable, wave tolerant one)

We dont leave the foil to takeoff onto our wings until we leave the harbor. This doesnt need to happen on "runways" though. We'll already be at takeoff speed (~50mph) as we're leaving the harbor, so we really just jump out of the water whenever we choose to. This way we dont need to clear long stretches of water for a "runway", which has limited seaplane operations.

Absolutely agree: Seaglider operators will have to obey the rules of the road to avoid collisions just like any other boat. WIGs are actually already in the COLREGS (we're last in line for right of way, but on the list!), and our sensor systems will ensure that seaglider captains have excellent situational awareness.
