You cannot have a welfare state and a liberal immigration policy.

Sure, if you do nice things for poor people their lives improve, and so does society, not only because we are kinder, but also because their problems don't become problems for unrelated people.

But, if you do nice things for poor people as a government and open the door we have the objective truth that there are billions of poor people in the world who would love to be taken care of too. You will attract them and, like the Tragedy of the Commons, everyone will be poorer and less happy.

Before anyone says "this isn't the right topic" I must point out that the population of the US has doubled since the 1950's, but the infrastructure has not. The rise in population is immigration, not native. There is a cost of immigration that is borne by the local population outside of the government for immigration if the housing stock does not keep pace with population, and if immigration is used to attack prevailing wages. What happens is that housing costs increase and income goes down, i.e. the native population gets poorer.

Hello! I left Amazon late last year looking to take a break before getting back into things, only to be interrupted by mass layoffs - oops! I'm looking for the next step in my career as a software developer, and would like to find a role either in web development (with a focus on back-end services), embedded systems, game development, or something similar.

Canada has a more comprehensive welfare state than the US and a higher percentage of the population are immigrants than in the US. So there may at some point be a required tradeoff but the US isn't there yet.

What Canada doesn't have is a "homelessness-industrial complex" of NGOs and nonprofits that soak up billions of dollars in public money without actually providing significant housing for homeless people: instead, the government just does it.

>Now adults have to compete with children??

Yes and no. Most children share homes with adults. I went on calls with my dad (he's a plumber) since I was 7 and helped him more and more as I became adolescent. Similarly, my current daughter sometimes helps me with coding jobs. It helps our home. So I guess child labor helps families and hurts single people, because it means families can grow additional workers.
This will be very interesting.

LLM/ChatGPT is based on stochastic approach to NLP while the alternative e.g. Typed Feature Grammar (TFG) is based on deterministic approach [1]. Apparently Cuelang is based on the latter and since it's a constraint based language you can use it against the prompt (input) and also for checking the output as well [2],[3].

What it means is that LLM/ChatGPT and TFG/Cuelang can be used in concert to produce or generate codes by well crafted prompt based on the language spec and similarly also to debug based on the spec. This will probably change and enhance the discipline of software engineering as we know it for the better.

Your platform almost certainly does do something sane and reasonable for UB-exhibiting code.

Where your problem lies is what happens when you optimize that code. And guaranteeing optimizations do something superficially sane on unsound code while still performing reasonable and obvious optimizations for well-formed code is insanely hard.

The fundamental problem is that the design of C guarantees that lots and lots and lots of syntactically valid and intuitively written code is semantically total nonsense. Part of this is that C is low-level and part is just that it was designed 50 years ago before anyone had the faintest idea what kinds of terrible mistakes were being made.

If there were simple fixes here it wouldn’t still be a problem.

> And so what happened in Slack is that, on the first day, roughly 118 million shares were available for sale under Slack’s registration statement, and roughly 165 million shares were available for sale without registration. And if you bought stock, there was no way to know which kind of stock you bought: You didn’t buy directly from the company in an IPO process; you just bought on the stock exchange from an anonymous counterparty. If you bought “registered shares,” then technically you are allowed to sue Slack under section 11, just like in an IPO; if you bought “unregistered shares,” then you are not, just like in a mature public company. But there is no way of knowing which one you bought, so in practice you can’t sue under section 11.

I don't see how this is materially different from Axios' analysis?

Question: One problem of current superlarge language models is their high inference cost. Wouldn't that be a perfect application for analog computers, since they are known to be power efficient? As I understand, the weights of a neural network are approximate values anyway, so it probably wouldn't be a problem when the calculations (vector multiplication or something like that?) aren't perfectly precise.

I assume this idea has long been considered and doesn't actually work for some reason. Perhaps because implementing an order of hundred billion parameters in an analog computer isn't technically feasible? That's about how many transistors are in a CPU, and those are presumably much simpler to implement than the weights ("synapses") of a neural network.

(I know there are special inference accelerator chips, like TPUs or co-processors on smartphone chipsets, but those seem to be fully digital and not actually "neuromorphic".)

No one said they were going to be free. First of all, they'd be getting a home. Second, yes they should be paid something so they can afford food and other essentials. The point is to help them recover. Just throwing housing or money at them and saying good luck, do whatever you want, isn't going to work. With sponsored work, they can look for better jobs and tell their prospective employers that they've been working for a year or two with no issues at the state/federal job. That would go a long way.
I’ll see your `FLUSHDB` and raise you a `DROP TABLE foo`.

> Engineers should not spend their careers intimately memorizing random quirks of the infrastructure they use. They deserve better. They deserve boring.

In my opinion, this is a little nonsensical and reeks of the no-ops movement. I’m very excited to see what becomes of Dragonfly over the next few years (Redis needs some competition, I feel) but I will be gobsmacked if they produce a product that somehow requires no infrastructure engineer to memorize its quirks.

I mean, for starters, “quirky” is highly subjective. But more to the point, I’ve never met a piece of software that somehow meets everyone’s expectations in all cases. It’s definitionally impossible.

Set your goals high and all, but at least make them achievable!
You can clearly look at year-over-year statistics and see the increased death count. What do you think caused it? An increase in eye-sight-related car accidents? All the people complaining about 'comorbidities' don't understand how cause of death is reported. When someone has Cancer, but dies from Pneumonia, should they list Cancer or the Pneumonia? All diseases have some 'comorbidities'. But if they didn't have Covid they would be alive. So Shame on you.
How would one contribute to the conversation better than stating what is plainly true: child labor laws are being repealed because Capital owners want them to be and pay politicians to make it so.

Yep, totally pwned

Upwave | Staff Product Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time | Bay Area-based or REMOTE (USA compatible timezones only)

About Upwave:

Upwave is a YC/venture-funded startup that helps large enterprises plan, measure, and optimize brand advertising campaigns. We offer a comprehensive set of tools that help our Fortune 500 clients understand and improve how they’re perceived in the marketplace, how aware consumers are of the value they provide, and how much consumers trust them to provide the value they promise.

We've been rapidly expanding our list of enterprise customers and deepening our integrations with "household name" partners like Amazon and Clorox. As we grow, we need engineers to help us build even more unique, differentiated, valuable, scalable, and robust analytical SaaS tools and products.

About the Role:

Upwave is a startup and we need an experienced generalist “startup engineer” who’s excited about doing the wide variety of technical work that modern SaaS startups need. That includes backend web development (JVM frameworks), frontend SPA development (mostly React), AWS-based cloud engineering, and some data engineering. We are also particularly interested in someone who knows (or is interested in learning) the intricacies of our industry and our business and who is comfortable leading conversations with customers and partners to scope, define, and execute the technical integrations that have become one of our major levers of growth. We're not fixated on years of experience, but this role is unlikely to be right for someone with less than 10.

Our team emphasizes high-quality, high-velocity, sustainable software development in a collaborative and inclusive team environment. We’re a small team that gives our engineers a lot of autonomy and empowerment, and we want people who are excited to step in to learn whatever skills or technologies are needed, to contribute wherever in the R&D process they're needed, and to grow their careers by taking on pivotal responsibilities early in their tenure.

The US accepted 22,645 refugees in 2022. Since 1990 the U.S. has accepted, on average, roughly 75,000 per year.

In 2021, the US accepted 11,411 refugees (approx. 1 refugee per 28,900 citizens), and Finland accepted 1,282 refugees (approx. 1 refugee per 4,300 citizens).

The work press-release-announced in the link at the top, the preprint for which is at <https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18521>, has nothing to do with cosmic inflation. At all. The authors are at pains to contain the dynamical aspect of the spacetimes they investigate. In particular they write, "... we also expect our particle production mechanism to backreact on the spacetime. However, the spacetime background we have used here is constant by construction".

Their investigation works on asymptotically flat spacetimes and so (a) are manifestly not cosmological in itself and (b) can be "knitted" into a wide variety suitable comsological metrics by procedures like Israel-Darmois. Possibly including the (family of) cosmological spacetimes at the links you supplied. However...

I can't imagine even an exceptionally generous reading of only the link at the top (terse as it is) being relevant to any of the four in-English links you push in your comment. Those papers are particularly interested in background gravitational waves and the bulk expansion and contraction of space, all of which are a signature of a dynamical spacetime, quite the opposite of the background in the work at the top. The fifth, in Russian, focuses on black holes and neutron stars in but (a) in a dynamical spacetime and (b) not in a way that is (even trying to be generous) remotely related to the work discussed at the link at the top of the page. [However, I did note the 2021 Astrophysics Bulletin paper's authors' reference 38, which is Hawking's 1975 "Particle creations by black holes", and tried to take that one citation into account. It's raised in §2 around eqn (1) in the context of estimating a whole-universe distribution of black holes. Unfortunately this feels to me a bit like a conversation about laboratory mice swerving into commentary about quaking aspen groves being assessed as OK or not on the basis that both organisms share a distant common ancestor. The connection turns out to be less than tenuous.]

Lastly, I note via <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...> that you have posted these links to HN at least twice before, and this is the second time they do not fit the context in a reasonable way. I don't think your repetitive posting is doing a service to anyone, including Н. Н. Горькавый and his coauthors.
That's a wild perspective. I don't know how you can really come to that conclusion either. One attempt at getting Blender to render something using an AMD vs Nvidia card will paint a very very clear picture.
The last surviving prosecutor of the Nuremberg trials passed away on April 7, 2023 at the age of 103. It was Ben Ferencz' first case after he learned of the Eastern fronts 'Nazi death squad' (Einsatzgruppen). All other tribunal prosecutors were committed to other cases when he described the atrocities to his superior, so he took the case on himself. It both validates the top comment of allies not seeing eye to eye, but also how understaffed and underprepared the tribunal was.

He later helped start the Hague and dedicated his life acting as a voice for the voiceless due to war crimes and genocides.

Despite the horrors he witnessed, Ben was a beam of light for all around him. I highly recommend his works. Especially "Parting Words: 9 Lessons for a Remarkable Life"

> The IMT contributed to the definition of war crimes and the outlawing of wars of aggression.

that hints at what really happened at the tribunal. chomsky has some details:

https://chomsky.info/20070803/

The Nuremberg case is a very interesting precedent. First of all, the Nuremberg trials—of all the tribunals that have taken place, from then until today—it is, I think, the most serious by far. But, nevertheless, it was very seriously flawed. And it was recognized to be. When Telford Taylor, the chief prosecutor, wrote about it, he recognized that it was flawed, and it was so for a number of fundamental reasons. For one thing, the Nazi war criminals were being tried for crimes that had not yet been declared to be crimes. So, it was ex post facto. ‘We’re now declaring these things you did to be crimes.’ That is already questionable.

There is plenty more absurdity. like this bit:

Secondly, the choice of what was considered a crime was based on a very explicit criterion, namely, denial of the principle of universality. In other words, something was called a crime at Nuremberg if they did it and we didn’t do it.

So, for example, the bombing of urban concentrations was not considered a crime. The bombings of Tokyo, Dresden, and so on—those aren’t crimes. Why? Because we did them. So, therefore, it’s not a crime. In fact, Nazi war criminals who were charged were able to escape prosecution when they could show that the Americans and the British did the same thing they did. Admiral Doenitz, a submarine commander who was involved in all kinds of war crimes, called in the defense a high official in the British admiralty and, I think, Admiral Nimitz from the United States, who testified that, ‘Yeah, that’s the kind of thing we did.’ And, therefore, they weren’t sentenced for these crimes. Doenitz was absolved. And that’s the way it ran through. Now, that’s a very serious flaw. Nevertheless, of all the tribunals, that’s the most serious one.

so, props to the new site and Stanford and crew for hinting at the absurdity of the trial, but i think they should do much more than hint. alas, calling every US President (and their many underlings) war criminals would probably not win Stanford many fans in the circles of power.
