> that really graduated from the very best french schools

I find it shocking when people refer to what school someone went to as a credential in just about any context. I usually consider it a red flag, an indication that there is no functional understanding being applied in the evaluation
It's a niche problem to have because our current programming paradigm treats concurrency as a second-class citizen. The invariants of most languages do not include those required for mass concurrency.

Functional programming better aligns with the requirements, which is how you arrive at Erlang and Elixir. Every map() function can be trivially replaced with the concurrent cmap(), because the side effects that would make it non-trivial are impossible to express.

Given that Moore's law as it applied to single threaded performance is dead and in the ground, it makes a lot of sense to start paying more attention to systems that treat concurrency as more than an afterthought.
Just looked it up, it appears to be a TV show.
> Why should I work to benefit their service if they're hoarding the resulting data and not making it available to me or people like me in the future?

This I believe is generally called "digital sharecropping"
https://www.roughtype.com/?p=634

> What’s being concentrated, in other words, is not content but the economic value of content. MySpace, Facebook, and many other businesses have realized that they can give away the tools of production but maintain ownership over the resulting products. One of the fundamental economic characteristics of Web 2.0 is the distribution of production into the hands of the many and the concentration of the economic rewards into the hands of the few. It’s a sharecropping system, but the sharecroppers are generally happy because their interest lies in self-expression or socializing, not in making money, and, besides, the economic value of each of their individual contributions is trivial. It’s only by aggregating those contributions on a massive scale – on a web scale – that the business becomes lucrative.
Not traditional temperature, maybe the parent worded it somewhat obtusely. Anyway, to disambiguate...

I think it works something like this: You let something akin to a json parser run with the output sampler. First token must be either '{' or '['; then if you see [ has the highest probability, you select that. Ignore all other tokens, even those with high probability.

Second token must be ... and so on and so on.

Guarantee for non-broken (or at least parseable) json
Making a GUI these days that isn't based on HTML and CSS in some way is an... experience.
In fairness running a restaurant is nearly a round the clock job. Running delivery and the online reservations is more. Managing reviews is even more.

I agree that its hard to believe one restaurant hasn't tracked it yet but I think its more a confluence

- are you good enough/ no dip in performance that you can claim this correlation or are you confident enough to go out saying that knowing you have to defend against ppl saying "well maybe you just suck now!"

- did you have time to screenshot it when it was happening aka the day Yelp called and your dishwasher was out sick and your supplier of eggs upped their price

- how long does the business even run. lots of restaurants close down and Yelp is not on a top ten list of concerns

- if you're established then your focus is growing business not dealing with the mafia. maybe you pay them, maybe you double down on other channels like uber eats or a new location or whatever.
Yeah, I like to say the person who has the most impactful/efficient sway in a conversation is the one who knows what's going on well enough to not have to talk constantly, but to just drop in some important questions or corrections or other considerations at the necessary time. ;)

It's much easier to talk than it is to change people's minds.
> Under the hood, functions are injected into the system message in a syntax the model has been trained on. This means functions count against the model's context limit and are billed as input tokens. If running into context limits, we suggest limiting the number of functions or the length of documentation you provide for function parameters.
Point is, linear boards like phpBB can't even support threads this large - without the tree, a thread goes to shit the moment someone posts a lame meme.
This sounds more inspired by trap streets than AI data pollution, though I suspect the people trying to fight generative AI will eventually resort to trap streets anyway, and wind up producing the same outcome.

VSCode is painful to use. I don’t get why, when I do a “search for references” that my previous “search for references” tab gets destroyed.

Also, when I open a file from “search for references” results, the newly opened file does not appear in my recently-opened list. So I can’t switch back and forth to it.
Also, I just looked up what "kys" means. If this were reddit, I would block you and never see any of your posts or comments again.

You do realise you're describing 99% of the iOS app store here right?

In fact, while the Android app store is curated in an even worse manner, I find that Android does offer a lot more high-quality ad-free open source software on platforms like F-Droid. Because the iOS developer subscription makes it hard for FOSS developers to do their work for free so things become more monetised.

I was surprised to see this mentioned.

I was working for a company over a decade ago that saw the military purchase a piece of software from us specifically for its messaging and XMPP based capabilities. We were requested to rewrite chunks of our application just to meet their needs. Makes me wonder if it is still in use somewhere.
I reckon that it is about 98% likely that she was so delusional and overconfident that she really thought it would all work out and she was not planning to flee the USA with a big pile of money.

My guess is that most of the investors money was spent by the Theranos company.

Holmes got about $2 millon in total salary as CEO.

She got $25 million using promissory notes, which I think means a personal loan secured on her company stock. She has paid back zero dollars of that.

She never sold any of her shares.

It is plausible to me that after living a wealthy CEO lifestyle, asset seizures, and paying lawyers she does not have much money or assets left.
Cutting costs and playing chicken with the landlords. It can take months or even years to evict, especially if you're evicting a huge company with a dedicated legal staff.

I suspect Elon cares a whole lot more about making the billion dollar interest payments he owes to the Saudi financiers of his buyout than the little rent payments to landlords of corporate offices.
I can't see anything in a command economy indicating it requires repression?

A passthrough API, but you absolutely do not get access to the headset cameras on any of those devices. Apple is very much in line with the standard here, you can make passthrough apps, but you cannot actually get the real data from the cameras.
> Are there a lot of issues with non-competes? I've def heard stories, but it's usually related to poaching scenarios where a contractor gets hired by the company that they are contracting with.

There's no issue unless the state is into stifling innovation. Want to create a Silicon Valley? You have to allow for employees to jump ship and form startups w/o repercussion.
Sure, and that's why I haven't built a commercial product on top of Reddit.

(I actually did run a startup on top of Twitter's API between 2010-2013 - I'm VERY glad not to have to worry about that any more!)

I'm not talking about this in terms of being an app developer: I'm talking about it in terms of being a regular user posting content on the site.

If you rug-pull my expectations on access to that data in the future, don't be surprised if I find somewhere else to spend my time.
The typed equivalent of a sum type in python is a union (https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Union). Works with pretty much every type you can think of, but has the usual union limitation that you can't have two variants of the same type (e.g. int | int | float).

Then again, you can just create newtype wrappers, and that's essentially the same thing as different constructors for a sum type.
They can sue but do you know what the return of the suit is? Do you get your cash or do you spend cash + get less than what you were owed?

Most things settle and they settle for far less than the original amount. "It's just not worth it" the individual says. That's what Musk and others bank on.
"When informed of the risks of termination fees during a meeting on November 3,
2022, Steve Davis said "Well, we just won't pay those. We just won't pay landlords." Davis also told Hawkins, "We just won't pay rent." Twitter specifically directed Hawkins to breach its leases, whether by terminating
without any good faith justification under the terms of the applicable lease, or by simply stealing
from the landlords by intentionally remaining on the premises without any intention of paying
amounts Twitter knew and believed were its legal obligation to pay.

International law in general is more like a social contract than a legal contract since there is very limited recourse to enforce it against violators other than rounding up a bunch of other countries and getting them to agree to enact a punishment.
The link is to gitlab, not github. But any website is inappropriate in this context because it’s not permanent. The email list is, at least as far as the project is concerned.
We disagree.

The handing of the keycard is necessary to ensure it's destroyed and can't be used as a "proof" you work somewhere (most access cards these days have your name, face and the company logo printed on the front).

The keycard will be removed from the access list to the building even when it's destroyed, they're not considered reusable by most companies.

Your private key is not reusable, it should be destroyed and revoked from all system when you leave a company.
While G and FB both used XMPP, I don't think they ever federated
Napster was actually made up of a large number of servers that didn't really communicate much, especially for chat.

You couldn't choose your server on the official application, but others allowed you to do you could always meet the same persons. I was on the Orange server.
the linked article hypothesizes:

> I assume OpenAI’s implementation works conceptually similar to jsonformer, where the token selection algorithm is changed from “choose the token with the highest logit” to “choose the token with the highest logit which is valid for the schema”.
Unless a given class of LLMs is run only once and then forgotten, there alredy is a feedback loop through the real world - the output of the LLM is used for something, and influences the next input to a smaller or larger degree.
Your comment is subtractive from the discussion and its tone and attitude is not OK. If you came here to make no attempt to understand what people have written, even when they are explaining words, defining terms, and instead attack them and shout past them, we're better off if you didn't.

I wouldn't normally put such a fine point on it, but in this thread you've managed to make a lot of noise and calls lots of things "nonsense". If you're after emotional responses and heated discussion, that's tantamount to trolling, and you should stop.
And the corollary – nothing personal should be on your work machine, either
My guess is that since the packet is officially reserved and should not be set, a common firewall or other security appliance considers said packets to be malformed and drops them as a default behavior.

Let's say you go 2 years without a raise and year 3 is different, you finally get a raise.. It certainly will not make up for the other 2 years you didn't get a raise, it will 5%-7% max which doesn't even cover inflation. If you enjoy the work and the numbers for you that may be worth it, but if not I would look to move on.
It's really good for home type technical questions too. Like a stack overflow for plex or handyman type things for people who want to scan text and not watch a half hour youtube.

I think you mean zap-the-golang-logger conflicts with OWASP's ZAP, which was started in 2011 before the-golang-logger.
The LLM Hype Curve
I said the same about Mastodon v Twitter, but decentralized solves nothing. It just makes it impossible to complain to anyone. We absolutely need centralized and uniform moderation rules and guidelines. And it needs sustainable funding to operate. There are not really any major tech challenges to achieve this. You could build a 140-character microblog in a weekend. The problem is attracting enough users to generate the requisite network effects and building trust amongst those users. Both of which are human problems and very, very hard to do.
Just wait until the LLM extensions are better. The future looks like this:

1. You use MTurk to brainstorm new product ideas

2. The human figures out your company and tasks the LLM with the brainstorming

3. The LLM hits you up for a chat about your company's future :)))
My impression is that Watts is best at first books in a series. Both Blindsight and Starfish were (and are) absolutely incredible to me, but both of their sequels fall short of the original promise. However, from reading his blog, this is not unexpected. He doesn't write sequels to further explore the same ideas, but to move background ideas into the forefront and explore those. This would naturally lead to disappointment if the reader wants more of the original premise.

That said, I think Echopraxia is a better sequel than Maelstrom and a pretty good book on its own. He is working on a final book in the Blindopraxia trilogy and I expect it to move even further from the wonder of the original book, but now that my expectations are set I am looking forward to it all the same.

Meanwhile, every European techie under the sun is still breathlessly shouting "WHATSAPP! WHATSAPP!" in my ear. "Why would any unevolved caveman still use SMS?" etc.

Well, maybe because Meta sucks and I think protocols are better. I think SMS/RCS/etc. based texting will outlast WhatsApp, and anyone in 10-20 years is free to look up my email here and let me know if I'm right.

I built a hash based password manager last year ... it took way longer than a month.
Just dreaming over here, but if someone had the opportunity to rebuild a Factorio from the ground up, I bet they could design something massively scalable. Something based in cell automata, like how water flow works in Minecraft. Current cell state = f(prev cell state, neighboring cell states).

It would take some careful work to ensure that items didn't get duplicated or lost at junctions, and a back-pressure system for conveyor belt queues. Electrical signals would be transmitted at some speed limit.
It's funny, because in Old English ('Anglo-Saxon'), vowel and consonant length are both semantically important.

For those of you who want to have a better handle on the distinction, you can think of it as the sound having an extra 'beat', where a beat is the amount of time pronouncing that sound normally occupies.

It's easier if you take advantage of the one place English still distinguishes this: word boundaries.

Listen how you say, for example: Tibetan nitwit (you're holding the 'n' for two beats because your brain treats the distinction as important /when it's at a word boundary). You can do this with vowels too as an exercise, though they're a bit harder because English has a lot of vowels and finding good matches is a bit difficult.

Absolutely, that's a legitimate concern. A real benefit of approaching state machines model-first is that you get to see those nodes on paper before trying to write the code, and you can quickly recognize a tire-fire of an idea vs a situation where you can sanely box in logic and avoid state-explosions.

I've had a few tasks with state machines turn into messes, but thankfully they were only at the cost of my personal time rather than my team's. I definitely prefer them for cases where a model juuust fits into your head, or nearly so — it seems fairly intuitive, and not totally monolithic in scale or inversely tiny in proportion. There's this sweet spot where it's just complex enough that you want to box it in, but not so complex that a formal description using a rigid convention would endanger you from your coworkers.

No it does not matter at all. The optics focus it much further away. As far as your eyes are concerned the display isn't right in front of them.

In fact if those optics weren't there you wouldn't see anything except a few coloured blobs.

The amount of brightness your eyes are ingesting is also much lower than walking around on a sunny day without sunglasses. Remember our eyes work logarithmically so the outside could be tens, hundreds of times as bright.
market is still choppy, so i don't think it's an outright red flag about the org.

whether you are being underpaid at the moment probably depends on your specific skills.

the market is, at the end of the day, a market, and it's up to you to negotiate what you get paid, and to try and make sure that the amount is adequate to your worth.

other than that, I wouldn't take it too personally
I'm curious what you make of the standard narrative that OS X was a fuse of NeXTStep with UNIX and MacOS Classic. As far as I can tell that's not really accurate and OS X was basically just NeXTStep reskinned to look like MacOS, with an emulator for Classic apps bolted onto the side, and some C libraries to ease the porting process from the old Mac APIs to the new NeXTStep APIs without needing to transition to Objective-C. The UNIX aspects to it came primarily from NeXTStep and weren't something new Apple added.
Co-founder and OP here. First off, it's worth mentioning that we did not ask the customer to write this blog post in any way. It was a write-up that taught us a lot about the adoption journey of our own product, so I just thought I'd share it on HN (honestly surprised that it made to the front page).

I've touched on this in the other comment, but I'd like to once again reiterate that Porter is not meant for small scale projects that do not warrant the scalability of something like Kubernetes. We actually advise many people getting off Heroku who are interested in Porter to use Fly.io or Render instead, because for most individuals who are running projects that do not anticipate scale, those platforms make more economic sense.

Porter is designed for companies, not individuals. The base infrastructure Porter provisions alone is around $300, so if your spend on Heroku is less than that, it's more affordable to stay on Heroku or use a platform like Fly.io/Render. For companies who are running at decent scale, however, we've found that Porter starts making sense earlier than you'd think, because cost on platforms like Heroku starts increasing rapidly as you scale beyond a certain point (e.g. a single Performance L dyno on heroku already costs around $500/mo). This particular customer has actually been on Porter for more than a year and had no fluctuations in their billing.

In comparison to ECS, our customers actually tell us that Porter is easier and more developer friendly than ECS (many of our users migrate from ECS as well, not just to improve scalability but for the better developer experience - we wrote about it here: https://www.porter.run/case-study/why-woflow-moved-from-ecs-...). There's no denying that Kubernetes is complicated - do most startups need Kubernetes? Absolutely not. But if it's actually easier to use than something like ECS and as easy as Heroku, why not deploy on the most robust, industry-standard orchestrator that you can customize later and leaves no stones unturned for the future?

Porter supports GKE as well as EKS, and which k8s offering you use under the hood is largely unimportant to the end user because Porter abstracts k8s anyway. Migrating from a platform like Heroku to Porter is just a few hours of work.
Those are all great points. Leadership could be looking out for us (attempting to avoid layoffs).

I would prefer to keep my colleagues as well. I’m not ready to jump ship quite yet. I could get paid more at another company, but I’m not sure it’s worth it at this time.

I still don’t quite understand why they would spend so much money on a retreat. Maybe it costs less than I think, compared to raises.
I agree fentanyl is awful. I have a friend in a hospital because of it.
