I think the dip reflects high inflation since the graph says values are afjusted to 2022 dollars. The job market was still good in 2022 so I don’t think there was a large nominal decline in pay across the industry.

You can guess that if it’s a human made interface it’s reasonable to predict we’d build it so we can communicate with it and/or give instructions (your puppy didn’t make you). It doesn’t appear out of nowhere. Current capabilities look like this.

The delta between a puppy and a human is also a lot smaller than a human and a super intelligent AGI and humans can effectively train dogs.
I fail to see how non white doesn't also reduce the strata to 2, however. Where is the third stratum?
How come we can't have a technical discussion about reflection in a language without it degenerating into this kind of a shitshow?

And all the people who immediately started accusing rust of being "woke" are equally at fault here--don't think for a moment that I'm on your side. This whole thread is a disaster.

How did we get here in the first place that people seem to have religious beliefs over a language feature and want to scream at other people that they're heretics (and see the wailing and moaning in the Go community over generics for another example).

All of you, grow the goddamn fuck up, please.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that adding something like that would make things worse and open the door to wasting your time on pointless issues like "Why are you using this code of conduct instead of $my_pet_code_of_conduct?", whereupon you tell them they're not working towards the project goal, which leads to even more drama. It's simply not worth it.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, open an issue about the code of conduct.

This is like saying "sure, that site is susceptible to a sql injection, but that doesn't mean the whole thing is insecure."

If you have an intelligent adversary and the stakes of them succeeding are high, it is the defenders job to prove the system secure. Systems don't start off secure and become vulnerable - they start off vulnerable until proven secure.

So yes, its okay to say "the things we're doing to 'contain' ais are almost certainly inadequate" until shown otherwise.
All the sources quoted by you are western sources, they might have a reason to be a bit biased on this.

Also, you would find the opposition to the current government also supports the proposition on Churchill, its prominent leader Tharoor having voiced it in many forums, so this is definitely not a partisan issue and not some "project at play".
I see where you're coming from and it's clear you have strong feelings on this matter. However, I believe there might be a misunderstanding here. The goal of diversity initiatives isn't about devaluing any particular group, it's about ensuring that the opportunities and benefits are more equitably distributed across different communities.

When someone mentions a 'lack of Black representation', they're not saying that non-Black members are less valuable because of their skin color. Rather, they're highlighting that there appears to be a systemic issue preventing people of that particular race from participating or advancing in that space. By addressing these systemic issues, we can make organizations more inclusive and more representative of the broader community.

Nobody is suggesting that people are exchangeable units defined solely by their skin color. On the contrary, it's recognized that everyone is unique and has a diverse set of skills, experiences, and perspectives to contribute.

This does not mean discarding merit or reducing people to their race, but rather acknowledging that societal, cultural, and systemic barriers have created unequal access to opportunities. The ultimate goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their race, has an equal opportunity to succeed.

No one hires for technical bullet points -- that used to be thing in the 90s where engineers had a page full of "I know this language/framework". We found it didn't really tell us anything -- the languages and frameworks move so quickly, no recruiter or manager can keep them stragiht.
If you want to get noticed for an interview, show me examples what you've actually done, and how it had a positive impact, or, show me what you've created -- cool and inspirational always wins. A professional photographer doesn't go into the interview with "I know this camera" or "I am an expert on lighting"-- that comes up in the interview, but they lead with "Here is my portfolio. As you see, I am particularly focussed on wild animal photography." If the company needs that, the rest is detail.
No the California Tax Postponement Program does that

Lol. What are they supposed to do? Invent a completely new technology for a solved problem? The anti china sentiment is basically closeted racism at this point. Ever thought that maybe engineering design is somewhat deterministic? There’s not that many ways to design things… physical laws, manufacturing technique, and material properties are highly constraining and basically force a limited set of designs to accomplish the task at hand.
This is a way better article than OP, which is really more of a visual reference.
Ilya Sutskever has hinted in various interviews over the past few months that LLMs are surprisingly good at improving other LLMs, such that he’s not sure humans are needed anymore for refinement. That’s the matchstick that lights the fire.

For Buddhism I might recommend Thich Nhat Hanh's "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" [1]. He's very clear and is careful to make sure he points out when a particular teaching he's describing might not be emphasized in other schools of Buddhism, but are still there as a foundation across all of them.

There are tons of sutras available at Access to Insight [2], which all schools of Buddhism use, but one (the Theravada) uses almost exclusively.

Another book that I found really illuminating was Chogyam Trungpa's "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism" [3]. It helps point out how the teachings can be put into practice.

Local radio stations and tv networks love this sort of thing. “Brought to you by and sponsored by KQED” accomplishes a lot in terms of PR, and they would likely be willing to fund it, at least at cost but likely quite a bit higher.
Explain why? Do you think it's ethical to have sold games that can't be played anymore?
> This seems very biased to me since it's often that both parents make career sacrifices, not just one.

With adoption, maybe, but carrying and bearing a child has a life-altering impact on a woman's body. It's not like you can give birth and go back to the office on Monday. It takes months to recover and even after that you likely won't be at full performance like you were before the pregnancy. Common side effects like post partum depression can easily linger for years if not given time and treatment. Quality of life is also quite terrible for the last while before giving birth, not just because of changes in physical size but also the lack of sleep and what a mental impact that could easily be described as mental illness if it wouldn't coincide with pregnancy.

As a man, I seriously don't know how women do it, and how many even do it multiple times.

The notion that two people make equal sacrifices when they have a child is laughable. Of course, in a healthy relationship both parties make sacrifices, but it's impossible to equate the sacrifices they make. Perhaps it's technically possible if two women both decide to give birth from a donor father, one after the other or at the same time, abut that's absurdly rare.
It seems like the problem here is not even power of one group, but an individual doing an end run around the group.
Is that WASM libsodium that's problematic? Can you expand on the issue?
No, but who said it had to be full price?

Sony has shown that people are willing to pay $50-60 for games that are a few years old but newly released on PC. See God of War, Horizon, Spider-Man, and I think there were a few more too.
Is this a book that adherents of Islam would be cool with?

I ask because…

From my experience as a reader and an adherent to a slightly-less-than-mainstream Christian, I’ve observed that books about religion come in three general flavors:

- extra extra! Read all about our awesome religion!

- have you heard about that religion over there? Read here to learn ingesting tidbits that are inclined to make sure it remains that religion, out of your circle

- here’s just an honest attempt to shed light without an agenda, make of it what you will, practitioners and non-adherents are mostly cool with the content

My experience is that first two categories dominate; the third is harder to come by. Always interested in that third kind.
Get 1-3 local businesses to buy a premium ad spot on your app. You can craft the ad with them and place it (side of the chat, top of the chat, etc). Charge them anywhere from $300-$1500 per-month. Get a few of those and that should cover you and then some.
They might and some definitely do, but at large enough scale maintaining a good anomaly detection signal to noise ratio becomes very difficult.

A single ubuntu terminal spawn will generate something like 20 system calls. Now multiply that with however many actions you take during 8 hours of using a computer with your generic corp of over 10k hosts.
Except the state normally (I have no idea of the current situation with California) won't let the insurance companies accurately price the high risk areas because the voters will scream at the insurance bill.

Eventually it reaches a point where the state puts so much burden on the insurance company that they decide it's uneconomic to operate there and leave. Any insurance company refusing to write should be interpreted as a whack with a clue-by-4.
But that's missing the GP's forest for the trees (pun intended). Liu Cixin's work popularized the theory and phrasing by a massive amount both in comparison to the works that came before and as well as after.

The core point seems to be the flippant assignment of origination irrespective of the scale of contributions.
> I have no idea how something like this can be overcome so long as the core Rust community feels this is an acceptable way to handle things. Clearly this is something which extends beyond the immediate leadership team.

Do the Rust community really feel this is acceptable?

Everyone seems to hate it, so I can see that it's possible it's "just" bad leadership (which is a big deal of course).

> Maybe the answer is some sort of resonant system or waveform which "sloshes" energy from place to place instead of a hard on/off (yeah, related to AC).

Most definitely not. You want to limit is as much as possible, as the reactive power (the "bounce back") still goes thru the resistance of the wire, generating losses. In fact big consumers often get charged when their power factor (the amount of energy "received" vs bounced back) is below a certain value.
Oh … raising the city.

When I first glanced at the headline, it read “razing” the city.

Jokes aside, it’s a serious issue, but Venice is just one of many coastal cities so affected. New Orleans residents can tell you about a relatively recent experience they had.

Someone once mentioned to me, that if you wanted to see a government agency that was not politicizing climate change, look to the US Navy. They have trillions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure that could get swamped.
> Fuel loads are dramatically higher than historically however.

Yup! I live in the Sierras. Everyone in this thread talking about controlled burns needs to say "California has just spent a century pursuing a policy of fire suppression" a few times.

The fuel loads are insane, these fires have been turning into giant firestorms with their own weather systems in a matter of 2 or 3 hours during the summer. I've watched it happen a few times, frightening. I suspect you can't solve this problem with fire because even if you are burning the brush wet there is still enough fuel to dry the forest out and burn it to ash.

I personally think the state should tell insurers that they only have to provide insurance in wildlands if the home/property meets stringent fire safety rules around defensible space. My house isn't even in the coniferous forest (I live in the chaparral) and it has set backs, greenzones, the works. I get so frustrated when I'm watching news coverage of the fires and the house is surrounded in pine duff and has giant pine trees right next to it.

> much safer potential cure here would be a massive increase in targeted grazing on federal land to reduce understory fuel loads

Yeah, my dad, a California native, who studied forestry at Davis always says that the solution in millions of goats. Ironically this spring the local Sacramento news reported that there was a shortage of goats to clear brush and that was just for commercial landscaping in the greater metro area. So not only is not feasible because of green hand wringing but also because we just don't have adequate goats.
> My experience with other people is that plenty of them - arguably more than 50% I met in physical space and talked with at length - care little about being accurate. They don't track provenance of their information. They uncritically believe whatever bullshit they read in lifestyle publications on-line. They say things confidently that they never thought much about, and have no first clue if it's actually true or not. Very much like LLMs - there's a whole class of topics where I know to assume the interlocutor is most likely "hallucinating" things.

There is a key difference between making up new facts and copying 'bullshit' picked up somewhere else. I agree that more than 50% of people don't put much effort into the accuracy of the material they recite, but that's not my point. My point is that LLMs obviously seem to make up completely new entities in generated code that do not have any merit in reality. I agree with the description of your inner voice process, but does your inner voice produce new function or enum value names that you need to filter? Mine certainly does not. Does it generate non-sense that needs serious revision and filtering in general? Of course. But not in the style of new facts, just thoughts that could make sense in some simplified form of reality, but need revision or filtering to match the actual real world.
One, because they already exist. Do you not know some person that starts talking about MLM bullshit?

Two, large predators rarely go quietly in the night from starvation. They typically expand their hunting grounds and try new types of prey.

What Is an AI 'Black Box'?
> It's a programming language, it's not meant to solve social problems, after all.

But that's exactly what I'm saying as well. Not sure there's something to learn, that's what's confusing me here. Black people didn't attempt to speak at a Rust conference.

Well... OK? What's there to learn from that? As far as I'm aware, the Rust community is one of the most diversify-friendly ones out there already.
Normal browsing is fine; the good stuff is just paywalled. The non-paywalled stuff is getting worse to browse through, for obvious reasons.
Interesting. i just was trying the 'similar stories' and while the list returned was around a certain theme - it didn't have anything to do with the featured article. But I like the implementation in general.
IME seeking wisdom from ancient scriptures is like seeking the time from a broken clock. It'll be right twice a day yet useless since you need better sources, methodology, or reasoning anyway.
It's not a boolean matter of the assumptions being "not valid" - sometimes, the non-idealities are of significant enough magnitude to make a meaningful difference. Other times not.

If one is taught ideal spring-damper theory, they are told friction in the damper is neglected in the mathematical model. If I use this theory to size the spring and hydraulic damper for some application where the forces involved vastly outweigh the damper seal friction, it's likely this non-ideality doesn't impact the answer enough to affect my sizing.

If I'm trying to eke out every last bit of performance from the spring-damper system and minimize damper lag, then the seal friction probably does matter.

Either way, when the theory was taught, it was done by stating what assumptions were used to derive the theory. How much those assumptions affect the validity of the model for a given purpose is an "it depends" matter.

React Native is essentially just writing web apps, once RN has css grid I will be happy enough with everything it has.

Watch how the lens deforms the content. You "drank the koolaid" on this one. There's a mental trick there, an inversion.

Ritalin is a stimulant that tricks the brain into believing it needs to perform and focus.

Saying

"I have ADHD, so I need my Ritalin to be normal"

is equivalent to saying

"I'm depressed and anxious, so I need my cocaine to feel normal"

It probably does help! If you are stuck in a rut, external tools can break you out and show you what the other side is like. But using drugs is basically lying to your brain.
"Buy a laser printer" is maybe the best workaround. Preferably a slightly older one. Inkjet printers have little competition (3 manufacturers that hold the patents) and are sold in a "give away the razor, sell the blades" type of deal. This is creeping into some of the laser printers lately, and of course there's still differences between brands, but if you pick up a random inkjet printer and a random laser printer you will have far less trouble with the laser printer.

> More generally, it can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

I think this lines up with what I consider intelligence. The "we" is the human race and most of us acknowledge we are the most intelligent life on Earth using the measure we invented (retaining, passing on, and using knowledge). I won't be convinced otherwise unless some other being out there proves to us that they can do it better.
Show HN: Open-Source Alternative to DocSend
hey hn, i’m alana, founder of basecase and creator of docbase www.getdocbase.com

docbase is an open-source alternative to docsend, which lets you securely share documents and track engagement in real-time.

with docbase, you can upload any document, get a secure link (with or without a password or expiration date), and view who interacts with it and when. one main use case is for founders to send their memos/decks to potential investors. as a founder and investor myself, it’s a tool i use all the time to both send and receive pitch documents.

the idea came from a tweet [0], which immediately made me ping @kiwicopple with excitement. i raced to put together a very basic version 1.0 in a few days and launched it last night. luckily, it actually wasn’t too difficult using supabase for the database, authentication, and storage, next.js app router, shadcn ui [1], and vercel hosting.

i’m already working on some updates for version 2.0, like improving page load performance, adding notifications, and enriching analytics. it’s entirely open-source [2], so anyone can contribute and help me make it better.

i’d love your feedback, so hit me up on github or twitter with your thoughts!

I use the excuse of going for coffee to get out of the office regularly and just walk. I probably would have smoked in an earlier age, with fewer coffee houses around.

I feel unable to think or code if I don't get some oxygen going to the brain and stuck in one mode and walking helps break out of bad modes and gives me

Climate change is not an existential risk to humanity, it may be an existential risk to modern human societies, it is definitely an existential risk to millions of people.

> The appropriate comparison here is nuclear weapons

Then complete the comparison. Nuclear weapons require specific materials and technology that can be controlled and the testing of any developed weaponry is fairly easy to detect. Despite these advantages, there are several countries that have them.

If nuclear weapon proliferation is your comparison, then it sure looks like we will fail to prevent or stamp out the development of superintellegent AI.

It we did succeed, what would it look like? We'd need to impose strict controls on computing capacity and it's usage. We'd need inspection regimes for every server farm, etc. It would require massive effort and fundemental changes to our society.
Why? If it's petty it is by definition unimportant, so it can only cause damage by scaring people away or reinforcing an idea of a toxic community.
the cynic in me thinks the bad linux activity is there, but the targets do not have any kind of linux monitoring in place to spot activity
Is there a similarly succinct but inoffensive word or phrase you would recommend instead?
I don't think that it would do much good. Compare the difference between your proposal and abolishing Prohibition. When the US abolished Prohibition, beer truck drivers became beer truck drivers. Bartenders became bartenders. Brewmasters became brewmasters. BUT the criminal element just moved into other criminal enterprises like: corruption, drugs, gambling, protection; etc.

The drug industry is huge. These people have become accustomed to a better lifestyle. They are not going back to growing corn on a dusty hillside or working as unskilled laborers. I would expect the consequence of abolishing cocaine prohibition to result in a huge increase in other criminal activity. Protection would probably be the biggest, and that could easily spread across borders.
