> How. Many. Times. Have we heard it already?

AFAIK what they've been saying so far has at best been "we're able to continue making them at our current pace". They've also been saying they were focusing on commercial partners over consumers (which IMO is better because commercial customers need some level of assurance of future stock to actually use pi's in their designs).

Neither of those things particularly screams "Regular customers will soon be getting pi's in their hands"

December 2022 They said they expected better stock this year, which appears to be accurate.

I'm more curious to see if they can manage to make a PI 4 successor given how many years the pi 4 has been around already.

Fortunately in at least some parts of the world providing personal data based on use of LinkedIn to a third party like an employer who happened to use other Microsoft products would clearly violate legal data protection rules and potentially land both Microsoft and the employer with expensive penalties. It's not the same situation as an employer providing an IT facility to their own employees so they can do their jobs but then having morally and perhaps legally questionable abilities to perform covert surveillance of how the employees use that facility.
And they probably didn't even write a single script
Many SaaS companies probably double dip by monetizing customer data in various ways. Good luck even knowing if it’s happening and if you do figure it out I’m sure the EULA will be properly one sided.

Can you imagine how much intel Google Docs, GMail, Salesforce, Profitwell, etc have about company performance and plans?

I’m sure nobody is using any of that data to insider trade, to give just one example. Nobody would do that.
Contracts between parties with asymmetrical power often require collective bargaining (regulation, reputation, unions, insurance) to design systems that meet the long-term needs of all participants. Compare the terms of EU-US data sovereignty negotiations, or corporation-corporation data rooms, with corporation-employee agreements.

Given the rate of change in surveillance telemetry, AI local/remote analytics, enterprise sysadmin competence, global threat models and "chat control" draft legislation to bypass E2EE confidentiality, it is unlikely that individual humans can negotiate balanced Terms-of-Service/Employment/Citizenship.

There are OSS-based systems (QubesOS, OpenXT, Android pKVM nested-virt replacement of TrustZone) which are architecturally compatible with remote management of isolated workloads by mutually-distrusting clouds and enterprises. This is the WFH inverse of cloud "confidential computing". Workload isolation is hard/intractable on pre-CHERI PC hardware that is littered with side channels and legacy complexity, but isolation of mutually-distrusting clouds can be practical with a combination of monitoring and legal agreements. WFH humans can collaborate on OSS code to enforce OSS legal agreements that mediate between employees and corporations.

Ask HN: Is my career as an HCI researcher a dead end?
Briefly about me: I hold a M.Sc. in Applied Computer Science and Human Computer Interaction and have been working as a junior scientist for HCI and applied AI at a German research institute for about 3 years. However, I do not hold a PhD. I am over 30 years old, and the career prospects are not very promising. Doing a PhD would be the next logical step, but there are hardly any paid positions in my field. Without a PhD, however, my time in academia is severely capped and the opportunities very limited, plus it would take a good 3-5 years again at least. The compensation is relatively poor, especially compared to a position in industry.
Therefore, I am now considering looking for an alternative. However, this step is very difficult for me because I can't find any comparable positions in industry where I can adequately use my skills and talents. I mostly find jobs in UI design, which is mainly a design job and less that of a computer scientist. But I also don't want to work as a pure programmer. A job description I could well imagine would be "Interaction Designer", however you can hardly find such jobs of in Germany.

Is there anyone who is or was in a similar situation and who has some advice for me?

There are reddit-likes on the fediverse (which means they are using the ActivityPub protocol). The fact that a software like kbin works on ActivityPub means that users on other fediverse software like Mastodon (twitter-like) can interact with posts on kbin.

Thunderbolt add-in cards have generally had DisplayPort inputs on the back to feed into the thunderbolt ports. It is a hack, but a side-effect of the adapter not having a GPU, and this becomes the most convenient solution (especially as GPUs puts their outputs in a similar location).
Yep, management best practice is “Outcomes over Outputs”.

Nearly every performance tool I’ve seen only measures outputs. Now, outputs are critical to outcomes - but they’re not the goal themselves.

> Could a large language model trained on data fit under that term? I don’t think so, but the terminology is vague enough that once again I’m not ready to stake my reputation on it.

This is such an interesting time - when the rules of the game haven't been settled. It was like when Uber was openly flouting established laws with their service. They knew that new laws would be required eventually and so they were willing to push boundaries on ambiguous interpretations until the matter was clearly settled.

What surprises me is the stance people take in the face of ambiguity. For example, when I see such vague terms I assume that the reason is so that github has the plausible deniability in using the data for things like model training. I don't mean to say it was written explicitly so that they would be able to use it for that purpose. I mean that the ambiguity, and lack of a desire to clarify it allows them to operate for some time with the plausible deniability. A product manager could make an internal case that a temporary competitive advantage can be realized by interpreting their terms of service in a particular way.

Eventually, law is going to catch up. And when it does Github, Microsoft, OpenAI, and all like them will follow the rules. But I, unlike the author, just assume that they are using this window of ambiguity to use the data they have available to gain an advantage. Maybe I am just cynical and the author is more trusting.

The truth is probably somewhere in between. They are probably using more than many would feel comfortable with, but probably less than my worst fears.

Ah, the ASMedia experience! Glad AMD picked such an experienced and well-regarded company to do their chipsets /s

edit: Okay, the linked part actually uses an Intel chip, though the point still stands. ASMedia has so many other chips and bridges (including the mentioned AMD chipsets) and they're all pretty notorious for weird "huh that was supposed to work" kind of problems. Problems that generally don't happen on Intel platforms.
> I think the point here is that these moderators are basically Meta employees but since they aren’t officially Meta employees they don’t get the same benefits that “full” employees get.

I'm not aware of any company that provides same list of benefits and pays similar salaries worldwide. I bet Meta's full-time employees in most countries don't get most, if any benefits from the following list: health care, transportation, daily meals and entertainment.

Overall the article is quite bizarre and I don't understand how it got so highly rated here on HN.
Yeah but we went from “oh no we’re all going to die and we have to prepare our kids for that eventuality” to “oh no Vanuatu is sinking” in just a few HN comments.

In that light I’d like to underline that in the “this is fine” meme, things are actually on fire. It’s an apt comparison.
The 8GB VRAM size limitation is the biggest downside for cheap local AI. My feelings is that current LLMs start producing interesting results from 12GB and above.
I noticed how highly voted the post was, so I went in to read the comments for a couple of minutes. When I hit "back" to return to the main page the post had mysteriously disappeared. I found it fleeing down the second page, past many stories which had lower scores and had been lingering for much longer periods. It was very surprising.

These current-events climate stories are the most important pieces of news on the site. If the moderators are deliberately nerfing them (ETA: or exploitable algorithmic policy is allowing them to be nerfed), I find that extremely terrifying. I hope it is not the case.
You can already do this in any decent devops system/management software without the surveillance.
How little do they need to make before you feel outrage?

Come to think of it, package registries are sort of “superglobal” in many languages. It’s not entirely far-fetched to imagine a language in which variables themselves can be super-global. Heck, MUMPS global variables are immediately persisted to disk and visible to all other processes - and that’s a real language used in real systems!

I have created a feed aggregator at https://techblogz.onrender.com (also at http://techblogz.co, sorry, got to fix it to https). It's a collection of engineering blogs specifically from tech companies (updated daily). At some point in the past, I wanted to search for a specific technical term (like Kubernetes) across all those blogs to understand how that technology is being used at various companies. But I found it a pain to do this search since you have to search for that term in each blog one by one. So to solve the problem, I created this. It is also helpful for tech interview preparation. I would love for you guys to try it out and provide some feedback.
> assuming your request for more context comes out of a sincere desire to increase your understanding, I hope this helped.

I appreciate the benefit of the doubt -- I was trying to approach it with the assumption that there's probably some perspective that I wasn't aware of.

> sneak wanted OP to be less openly queer in their personal blog for their own comfort

I can see how it may be interpreted that way. To me it read more like "hey, great content, presentation of it wasn't for me" in a way to convey feedback in the event the author wanted to better capture their attention. I didn't get the sense that there was an expectation that the author change their writing style to accommodate their preferences.

re-reading this, I don't think I appreciated that it was really in defense of the readers rather than the content

> I also ask you to be more considerate and respectful of other readers who may enjoy my work

I'm surmising that the real problem statement is:

> I'm sure there are non-sexual furries but the subculture is primarily a sexual one (same as with BDSM)

which I can appreciate as a generalization, I suppose I wouldn't have personally considered furries as under the queer umbrella, but I'm certainly no voice of authority on the matter. I suppose there's also the possibility that 'furries' was a dog whistle for 'queer', and being less charitable to sneak, I could better understand finding disrespect in the post.
The solution to people not wanting their neighborhoods destroyed is to destroy them anyway. You are properly understood.

"Aberfeldy Village" is apparently a poor area, and so the ruling class just kind-of exasperatedly assumes that they can run roughshod, and I find it pleasant that it's not the case. Why don't the rich fucks knock over their own houses if that's such a wonderful thing?
I agree. Please let Reddit die already.

Just before I stopped using, some stranger messaged me (in the same language) and offered to sell me video sex with a young person.

As a manager, I feel that using metrics from productivity tools to measure productivity is lazy and counter productive. If your team is so large that you can’t measure productivity without using these cheats, then your team is too large for you to manage. But you’re also ignoring the fact that people work in different ways, and may be just as productive without generating the metrics you’re looking for. And before you tell me you can just taper the metrics, why not just spend time with your team setting goals that can be measured in an open and direct way?

In my opinion, all these tools do is reward employees that work the way you do, which may improve stats on your metrics, but will encourage group think and diminish creativity.

Happy to be proved wrong, with some facts.
I don't quite see why it should be contradictory. Yes, teaching imparts already existing knowledge. But on the one hand, there are not only pure fundamental lectures, but also seminars and project courses, in which new procedures are often tested or evaluated together with the students. On the other hand, no professor exclusively teaches or does research. In addition, professors have the opportunity to apply for a sabbatical, during which they have time to focus on their research.
At least at my university, it was also common for most lectures or courses to be taught by doctoral students or research assistants.
Sadly, they fundamentally misunderstood the "everything is a file" paradigm of *nix. It's not that everything is an extent of octets, it's that everything has a directory entry so C programs can use the open call to create a file handle. It might be more appropriate to say "Everything looks like a file in the file system and most every operation on a thing represented by a directory entry goes through a filehandle."

A few months ago I was discussing due-process-related rights and principles with some twenty-something university student (mostly CS) acquaintances. Apart from the frightening fact that I was the only one strongly defending these rights, at one point someone associated my rhetoric with "Jordan Peterson's free speech arguments" in an attempt to dismiss my points. Apparently democracy and a free judiciary are now an alt-right topic?
I'd even argue that the wave of anti-drag legislation hitting the US right now is an attack on free expression akin to free speech. (What gives state legislature the right to ban me from putting on too much makeup and lip syncing to Madonna?)

> I personally cringe when I see people trying to string together a bunch of drives on a shared USB bus for a NAS application, or trying to hack something around the single lane of PCIe or whatever... When by the time you get to kludging that together you could have bought a small used NAS with drive bays for equivalent or less cost that would be at least an order of magnitude faster and significantly more reliable.

I don't think this is a fair comparison. In principle, anyone could follow the hacky instructions for the Pi and complete the same project. In some cases (such as the PiHole), it might even be worthwhile.

If your instructions begin with "find a used thin client on eBay," however, then there's no guarantee that the subsequent instructions are useful. My thin terminal might not be the same as the author's, and the author certainly can't specify a single particular brand/model because the eBay stock is limited and changeable.

"Mainstreaming" a hobby project needs the standardization at least as much as it needs the performance, and the Raspberry Pi's ecosystem remains an advantage. Ironically, this advantage is the same reason that the company prioritized business deliveries during the shortage, since business use depends even more critically on the stable, supported platform.
You could also replace the phrase “hold accountable” with “micromanage” and be just as accurate.

If you hire slackers, be prepared to be amazed at how much work they’ll do to bypass your micromanaging. It’s a race to the bottom
Yeah, and glass isn't toxic. It's just a mineral, essentially a rock which is shaped funny.

Plastic degrades to microplastics and goes into the water cycle and the air, where we breathe it in and drink it. There is suspicion that microplastics could contribute to cancer, autism, obesity, and gender dysphoria. Partly directly, partly because some of the chemicals in plastics resemble hormones, changing prenatal hormone levels, affecting the development of kids as they grow up.

This stuff is hard to study academically, as microplastics is everywhere nowadays. Particularly in household dust due to textiles made out of synthetic fibers.
Hi, thanks for responding. This tool automates the tasks you stated in your comment. Instead of having to write specialty code every time you need to test your sqls you can click a button and have the tool set up it up for you.

This is the eternal problem with all such metrics. What the data actually says and what someone looking at it thinks it says can be very different things. And yet decisions will necessarily be made based on the latter and that can lead to bad decisions.

We could all live in a beautiful world with near-total honesty and little need to protect privacy. We just need the entire human race to be reliably fair and reasonable about every possible issue and to make decisions that affect others only based on a complete and entirely accurate set of relevant facts. Shouldn't be too hard.
I don’t get why it matters where you join a meeting from. If you’re in bed, so what? You’re still on the meeting aren’t you? If I can do my job perfectly fine sitting poolside, and still hit all my metrics, does it matter that I’m at a pool and not sitting at a desk?
