It is in the original article [1], though I was made aware that Go implementation is also incorrect as `defer` in it make the memory usage to substantially raise. So instead of:

defer wg.Done()
time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)

In original article it should be:

time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
wg.Done()

And memory usage will drop about 2x. I am no Go nor Java developer so I cannot say anything more.

If you're asking "find the error in my proof" or "solve this ODE", then yeah current LLMs will be limited by poor reasoning ability.

However, if you ask Bing's Chat mode something like "What's the difference between a ring and a field?", it'll likely give a competent answer (with references to check) and allow asking of follow-up questions.

> Why don’t they say get a tutor which is much more established

Why did my friend recommend a new local fast-food place rather than an established gourmet restaurant? Because it's cheaper, more convenient, and I may not be aware of it due to its recency. There's also nothing preventing me going to both depending on situation.

> Is Google the company forcing this hype that hard that employees now feel the need to keep it up. No idea what for think. I would be diserviced by asking for math help from the models, yet that’s the main advice I get nowadays

I think there are legitimately ways you could use it to develop your understanding, slotting it in as a tool somewhere between search engine and tutor, so long as you're aware of its limitations.
I don't think what you described is a promotion? M1 = IC6, M2 = IC7, etc as you said. As far as the number of directors and VPs, sure there are probably more but I would describe that more as "it is easier to get promoted as a manager than as an individual contributer past IC6"

However... This is starting to change. We now have engineers reporting to higher levels, so basically each manager has an equivalent IC reporting directly to them. In theory this means the numbers are more equivalent.
> you and 8 other people will be replaced by an AI plus one guy who has good prompt-fu and editing/fact checking skills.

So the maximum processing speed of the AI will be limited to the reading speed of the prompt guy, brilliant.

If every AI task requires human in the loop, all you get is a small boost. Only when it can handle everything alone it can scale 100x or 1000x.
We looked into this [1] and conclude:

- AVX-512 startup overhead can hurt on Skylake, but AVX-512 is still a net win for data sizes >= 100 KiB.

- Startup overhead is a non-issue on Icelake and AMD Zen4.

I had an article on the front page of HN, it melted my server and I ended up using a CDN.

Useful lesson, but until you have massive traffic happen once, it's overengineering :) .
I think the only website I visit with any regularity where my traffic does not contain some session information is Wikipedia. The transition to the web being largely for web applications and services happened before the transition to HTTPS everywhere. That's when you get stuff like Firesheep just stealing the Facebook sessions of hundreds of people at once.
First thing I did when I got access to GPT-4 was to get it to write in the style of Tao Lin. Early experiments didn't work that well but actually this review provided me with the language to explain Tao Lin's style... I should paste this entire review into GPT-4 32K and see if it works better.

I think this is great for branding. All you ever hear is negative stuff. They should publish more in their own name and on their own site.
Black & White is other one I saw hyped... Outside the hype, it was at least somewhat interesting.
Perhaps less contrived:

Police observed a drug dealer drop off a package in my bush, then someone else take it later — so they can search my house, just in case.

Traditionally, searching your house would require a warrant based on those events… and likely showing more of a nexus, that you were involved.
This is why I framed the question to see if there was a 'dominant vibe'. It sounds like there were voices in a position to best know but that they were a minority.

You nailed it. The requirements spelled out in the career ladder for IC vs. manager at FANG is ludicrous.

During calibration the ladder generally isn't consulted but it could be weaponized at any time. It is quite intimidating.
An odd item to post to Hacker News.

It probably is. I often see links about health, longevity, nutrition, fitness. I suspect this could be an area that has been neglected by males. Anecdotally I know many females that are very familiar with kegels and conversely if I jokingly mention to males I was the 2022 kegel champion I get confused looks and congratulated. There are health benefits to doing kegels [1][2] with the bonus that anyone can do them when sitting at a computer even if that is not the ideal position to do them. They can be done during team stand-ups.

I agree there should be a way to track progress on this. I have no idea how the Apple Watch could do this but it would be an interesting thought exercise.

This is a good start. Back in the Flash days, there used to be "Site of the Day" type sites where you could find cool stuff. Unfortunately this quickly got gamed and became a love-in for agency websites, each one upvoting the others, Product Hunt-style.

A one-off $500 prize is just enough to get some interesting websites in there, while also not being enough to keep out the Linktree-type sites.

But "Free for private use, pay for commercial use" is a restriction.

Now, or in September 2022? At the time I bought my EV6, the Model Y had an MSRP of $66k. My Model 3 I cancelled had an invoiced price of $56k. My EV6 was around $52k as I recall.

I'm not sure where you're getting that list from. (Perhaps you are looking at the "Light" trim, not the "Wind" trim) Kia has an app that allows me remote access (perhaps you're expecting a dedicated app; the Kia app is used for multiple models). It has a full suite of assisted driving, as most manufacturers do, that Tesla includes in "autopilot" (lane keep, adaptive cruise control, autobraking, etc). The seats are heated and cooled, and the steering wheel is heated. It has a power liftgate. The EV6 is available with a sunroof, but it has less headroom, so I opted for the version without.

There's features I wish the EV6 had, some that Tesla has, some that other vehicles like my wife's ID.4 has.

> They're declarative, idempotent, and intended to manage infrastructure, operating systems and clusters, and coordinate application delivery, key rotation and configuration. Repeatability, rollback, and version control are the basic design tenets

That's what I'm saying, they are not declarative or idempotent in my experience, at least not Ansible. I'm not as familiar with Puppet so I wont say anything too confidently with that, but Ansible is 1. not idempotent as it allows you with ease to execute operations that can modify the system differently based on the system's state, and 2. not declarative, as the operations are step-wise.

In the real code, this message is only shown when closing more than one tab.
I think that this has been somewhat nullified by the changes over the last few years where managers are supposed to be people managers exclusively, while high level ICs supposed to create direction and evaluate technical merit.

> Also, you can presently get there by bus - https://new.mta.info/guides/beaches/jones-beach

That route is absolutely awful. For a typical NYC resident - not even "typical working-class" but anyone - going one-way is 75-100 minutes, two transfers, and around $25-30 per person, while carrying everything you need for the beach. Only the last 20 minutes are actually by bus.

They will fail mostly mechanically, but also the very small magnetized bits of modern HDDs will flip spontaneously at normal temperature after a much shorter time than "hundreds or even thousands of years" (because the energy needed to flip a small bit is not large enough in comparison to the thermal fluctuations to make the flipping probability negligible).

Many of these bit flips, but not all, will be corrected when the sectors are read, due to the error-correcting codes that are used in HDDs.

This is not theory, I have stored data for several years on more than 60 HDDs of various capacities from both WD and Seagate, most of them being the more expensive models with extended warranty durations, but even so, only few of the HDDs did not have any non-correctable error after several years. (Fortunately I was careful to use redundancy, so there was no data loss.)

Moreover, some of the biggest HDDs that are available now are no longer suitable for long term data storage, because in order to improve the performance they store metadata in a flash memory, which has a more limited data retention time.

After more than 5 years the complete loss of a HDD should be expected at any time, but even after 2 or 3 years a few non-correctable errors are probable.

When a HDD fails mechanically, one might pay a data recovery service, but that might have a price similar to a new HDD, so if you plan to not replace your HDDs often enough with the hope of using data recovery, it is pretty much certain that the cost will be much higher than replacing any HDD preemptively when its warranty expires.

To be a little more precise, the OSI does not own the "open source" term. But most of the industry accepts that, if a license isn't OSI-approved, it isn't an open source license. (And certainly isn't if it clearly violates the open source definition in some manner.)

Ask HN: What are the U.S. requirements for releasing OSS that uses encryption?
I want to release a terminal based text editor I wrote, on GitHub, that uses another open source library that implements AES-CBC 256 bit encryption. The library it specifically uses is https://github.com/kkAyataka/plusaes

I'm wondering, what are any United States legal requirements for releasing my text editor as open source software?

My text editor only uses existing available open source software and does not implement any new cryptographic algorithm, but based on my reading of United States export restrictions I'm not entirely certain if there's reporting requirements I must follow. To clarify, I don't need to release this, I just wanted to contribute something back to the community that's been useful to me.
If you don't enforce your license, what's the point of having it? Lawyers aren't cheap, and international law is incredibly complex.

How do you expect to make money if no one pays you for the commercial license because you don't enforce it?
Of course an online community can be moderated by volunteers. Many are. But this one isn’t.

Many people learn that HN runs on a single dedicated server and figure it costs ~$1000/month in operational costs. But my point was just that this ignores the moderation, which is a crucial feature of this community.

Of course you could try to recruit volunteer moderators to do the same job. But finding and training and managing them is not easy. Nor is dealing with ideological or interpersonal conflicts. None of this stuff is easy, and just because volunteers can and have done this work, doesn’t mean that “just have volunteers do the moderation work” is a solution to successfully running a big online community.
This would all be more compelling if the WIV were not explicitly experimenting with creating viruses like SARS-COV-2! If HIV had emerged proximal to a lab experimenting with creating viruses like HIV then that lab origin theory would be much more credible!
AI taking away jobs is one. Previously though more jobs would be created but now my beliefs have fundamentally shifted
Like a team ceo. I strongly believe this person should be responsible for a teams success or failure. Grant this person the right to hire/fire members of various disciplines. Tell this person to chase certain revenue numbers or another mission. Give this person the bonus money/product dividends to share with the team. I believe all this will drive this person to really build a team, instead of just managing it.

But demote them to smaller projects when they fail to deliver. And allow team members to apply to work for a different team if they trust the team ceo there more. Like an internal startup environment but teams. This is how I would try relentlessly to structure my company.
That idea is so cool. Eve and Dust got a lot of hype for something similar but I never followed up on how it ended up working out.
Unpacking used to be more powerful. I was mostly oblivious to the Python community when I started working on a project and discovered that you could unpack tuples in function heads, like Erlang, and started using that frequently.

Then I discovered I was using Python 2 and it was EOL, and that Python 3 had dropped support for that “because no one uses it.”

Maddening.

> Why did devs get obsessed with a deeply complex jamstack type thing to do even incredibly simple sites?

Because devs don't think of websites like a place for personal expression; to them, personal websites are usually roughly structured wikis of stuff they've learned that would be mostly hard to read or follow for others.

So they geek out over the details of the blog infrastructure. If instead of a website, they were asked to draw something, they'd focus on the sturdiness of the paper.

I can imagine not reacting to groping with an immediate physical response on public transit, as you're liable to get stabbed instead of squeezed if you go and attempt to slug your groper. If you freeze or leave and then report the crime directly afterwards, there are cameras and cops everywhere on public transit, so the chance of the groper getting caught while leaving is incredibly high. Such a strategy, while not manly, is likely to result in you staying safe and a groper being imprisoned.

Regarding a culture encouraging people to remain silent during something like this, hard for me to think of a culture that DOESN'T encourage somebody to remain silent about being sexually assaulted, although Japan does seem to have a unique problem here.
On the generator example, it doesn’t yield an empty list. It continues to return an empty iterator. This couldn’t have easily been an error because one aspect of generators is they can be dynamic. There could be an API call in there, where it polls for new results. Raising a “NoMoreForever” error or something would break the interface.

> While the UK and France have nuclear warheads, their numbers (225 and 290, respectively), pale in comparison with that of Russia (5889) and the US (5244).

> I can understand the desire to gather intelligence from every other nation, even allies. But I do believe it's a bad idea.

Intelligence agencies primarily spy on 'allies'. The biggest spy rings in the US are our "allies" - british, canadian, israeli, japanese, korean, etc. The biggest spy rings the soviet union had were in poland, ukraine, hungary, etc - aka their "allies". We have an infinitely larger spy ring in south korea than in north korea because holding onto an "ally" like south korea is far more important than converting an "enemy" like north korea.

It's why we demanded all our "allies" stop using huwaei tech because it would prevent us from spying on our allies. It wasn't about china spying on our "allies". Who cares about that? It's about our ability to spy on them.

The naive watch silly hollywood movies and think that's reality. Most of the spying during the cold war wasn't between the US and Soviet Union. It was mostly between warsaw pact "allies" and between NATO "allies".

> Brazil seems to be aligning with China more and more...

They should. Brazil's enemy is the US, not China. Might want to read up on the Monroe Doctrine. Think about it. The country that wants to keep brazil in check isn't china. It's the US. If Brazil has ambitions of being a major power, then it makes them our enemy and vice versa.

> For instance, if you're discussing something with your boss, and you have perfect recall about what was discussed 6+ months ago, but your boss disagrees with you, they will just use their version of previous events as the reference of record.

This is a misunderstanding of the situation. Even if there's a record of the old conversation, the boss wants something else now, and you're judged on doing what the boss wants, regardless of if that's consistent. It isn't great if you have an inconsistent boss, but a paper trail wouldn't help much.
