I'm sorry but you are betraying a myopic view here. Concurrency as a computer science concept has existed at least since the existence of co-routines which have been around for 60+ years. Parallelism as a concept has also existed for about as long. I find it fascinating that you take issue with "concurrency" when that one is the older concept in the engineering zeitgeist. If anything, parallelism is the odd one because it only became sounding average engineers started thinking about when consumer CPUs started becoming multi threaded.
FWIW, Stripe's API docs use a bespoke toolchain that (as I heard it estimated) cost $1mil+ to build. There's a good reason Stripe is the gold standard of API reference—they invest heavily in their documentation.

Considering how few other companies are willing to toss more than a few bucks at technical writers and tools, the difference is pretty stark.
Probably - I'd wonder why they'd refuse. Most insurance (AFAIK) won't cover the anesthesia as 'not medically necessary'.
Nice! I made a quick'n'dirty Typescript notebook with React + Plotly as a Matlab clone a few years ago. I was impressed with how everything you need to compile and execute TS was built-in to Monaco, using web workers etc.

People get upset about title editing on HN because they only notice the cases they dislike. Any practice will seem obnoxious if you only count the things it gets wrong.

I can tell you after over a decade doing this job that the title moderation on HN is probably the single most beneficial thing we do. Without that, the front page would consist of linkbait, sensationalism, and rage. In other words, HN wouldn't exist.
They know their base judging by their comments. Although said comments look awfully like twitter-bot propaganda.
LiFePO4 batteries can help in that respect - they also have superior cycle life. I wouldn't jump into an entire home solar setup as a noob, but a simple 100w panel with a small battery can be fun and accessible.
Better check this at the registry. I've noticed that this group of companies has a new policy regarding domain renewal: let the client pay at date X and update the registry just within hours before the domain expires.
Paying 9 nine years in advance might just result in the obligation of this company to renew the domain 9 times for you, unless you move out of course....

Thinking of graphics, though, i would assume most of that is in the GPU side. Simulations do make sense, but I see games like Factorio still focused on single thread first. And then look for natural parallel segments.

That is all to say that millions of events still feels like a lot. I am not shocked to know it can and does happen.
For me YouTube is always on the top, instead of the text pages where I can read the answer in a few seconds Google pushes me their video platform, probably in the hope of making money. I am logged in so I do not understand how those geniuses working at Google would think that videos in a language I do not know might be more relevant then text content.

I am unsure if this is a wage that workers receive while clocked in maneuvering to "hot zone" activity areas in order to get orders OR if it only applies when a worker has accepted an order.

Browsing reddit.com/r/ubereatsdrivers and /r/ubereats has led me to believe that the majority of these workers spend their time waiting between orders and that they will not receive an order waiting in a stationary location for too long (i.e. they could be ready+willing to accept an order for hours and would be penalized if they did not actively drive or if camped out in a parking lot/home).

If it is the latter case, then these workers can still receive a sub federal minimum wage if there aren't many orders placed or if the algorithm decides to prioritize one worker over another.

With the new able bodied working requirements for SNAP and other benefits, I wonder if it is possible that gig workers can be engaged in work activity for 80+ hours per month while not technically meeting that requirement. That would mean they would make less than minimum wage and be cut off from healthcare and food assistance.

It’s also stupid, reddit is not going to IPO on the back of its long tail of recorded knowledge and google search results.

The site would likely be better if they did, as it’d incentivise heavy moderation and on site content production, but that’s not /r/all at all.
Why position yourself next to Apple and compare yourself to them? I respect that their main value proposition is replacing the PC. That is awesome compared to Oculus which has no value prop. However I suspect Mark would pivot towards work and enterprise more now, but Android is probably a bigger hindrance to work than Apple's ecosystem, which I suspect is much closer to macOS. So Simula and others have to position themselves separately from both these big platforms.
The only thing that didn't sit well with a lot of people about the leaked memo is that it ignored the quality of GPT4 vs GPT3 and made claims that all LLMs were poised to be on par, yet that isn't true till now.

What it also ignored (along with some of the comments here) is data ranking. Google didn't just build a search engine by crawling more of the web -- many search engines before it had already done that. Google managed to rank what's relevant and what isn't. Relevancy is hard. Similarly, not all scientific publications are ranked equally. Or for that matter, even publications with a lot of peer reviews or citations can become obsolete through new discoveries.

Reddit's data has value in that it can fill in a lot of the gaps left by more qualitative sources and furthermore the data is user-ranked by a trusted community. This also has implications for specialised querying, for example training on just r/fitness could be fairly useful for that community.

As a side note, other valuable data stores are not just text but voice/video as well. YouTube and podcast transcripts are readily available, for example to Google. Data and ranking is valuable all over again.

That's facile and ignores that VC is supposed to be a vetting gatekeeper: the reason they keep a fraction of all the money going through their accounts is because they're supposedly vetting the investment opportunities and have money and access to knowledge as necessary to validate claims, etc. If they're not doing this, what is the value add the VC company is providing, other than being a skimmer on the money flows?

The reality is that as long as there is no liability for passing the buck (ie the scammer's and middemen's beloved caveat emptor), the system continues to encourage bad players.

The most applauded programmers at my first job were the communications protocol guys. They'd ship broken code then go to the customer site and patch it. Heros! The rest of us shipped good, tested code and didn't need to do that. Never got applauded at executive meetings; never got special rewards from customer reps, just doing our job.
When I was a kid, I had a coach that would always say "Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent." I feel like that captures the difference here pretty well. If you practice something 10,000 times poorly, you're just going to engrain that poor performance to "expert" level. You can't magically get better at something just because you do it over and over, there has to be some evaluative component that shifts your actions over time.

I hear you about the keycaps. My solution to this is to just bulk order plain PBT keycaps so it doesn't feel as bad when you have spares, but it certainly doesn't look as good. It also kind sucks that not every profile works well with non-staggered layouts.

Still working on wrist pain though. I think I can attribute it to my slightly too high desk (which is unfortunately not adjustable).
I see the same thing with the situation surrounding the game "Dark and Darker". The TL;DR is that the game is likely stolen intellectual property and there is a lawsuit directed at the publisher and one of the developers. The lawsuit will likely prevent the game from being released, so the prevailing opinion on reddit is that the whole thing is an unjustified shakedown, despite the copious amount of evidence that the publisher stole intellectual property.
I didn't even argue for it. My only comment was on someone saying the person creating this should get money while they won't think of Nintendo.

Oracle v Google also comes into the picture.
the realistic opp for Reddit is to charge Google access to the API which would more than cover all of the other API users. If Googs can afford to pay Apple and others to have their search be the default, they can afford to pay to crawl Reddit too
GPU...H100 arent cheap and you need lots of them. And some where to keep them cool.
I don't know about this.

What I deem smart or dumb changes over the years. When I was a junior dev, I saw someone totally new to coding create a single static class method that did tens of thousands of lines of if else checks for a state machine. The group of us junior devs shared the code snippet with each other and laughed at how ridiculous it was. The code could've been so much cleaner with proper extraction and abstraction. The bootcamp fresh minted dev was what I had considered as someone who's dumb but gets things done.

Over the years as I worked with more teams, I've seen people do "smart" things like a one liner quadruple nested ternary return. Everyone marveled at how clean it looked. I've also seen smart devs who experimented with Haskell or OCaml in their spare time start using closures in closures in closures. Lambdas everywhere when remotely possible. Anyone who didn't understand what they were doing were too inexperienced and dumb. They were always heralded as the geniuses of the company.

Nowadays, I very much rather debug a ten thousand line static method with if else clauses. It's quick to navigate, and incredibly easy to debug. Stupidly simple is my new smart.

The only thing I've really concluded after so long is that, the only dumb person in the room is always me. I've been told I'm a pretty kick-ass teacher so that pretty much seals my dumbass status.

The critique is that iPads are less effective for serious work than Macs. Apple continually markets the iPad as a capable everything device, when it is less capable than a Mac, even though the iPad Pro shares the same SoC.

Every professional I know who owns an iPad also owns a macOS/Linux/Windows computer. If an iPad is a computer replacement… then it should replace a computer.

When I read it without any context I could see the dawn of human civilization (and progress) in it as well (you can think that the man is trying to make fire, for example). I guess the vagueness allows for many interpretations and the parallelism between these interpretations gives a sense of profoundness. I wonder if the ancient texts, like Torah or Daode Jing, were written with the same intent :?

If my memory is working they are paying about $60k a year per homeless person to address it now, which is $160+ per night now. Yes $500 is high, but the $165 is closing in on a "nice" hotel room per night now.

But that goes against @devjab's experience upthread:

> [gamification] isn’t for good intentions. It’s a tool to make people spend time on something they might not want to spend time on, so why did we ever think it would be a fitting tool for our good intentions?

> [gamification systems] seem to fail to incentivise the development their creators want, unless that development is for people to spend a lot of money on video games.

(Unless Duolingo counts as a video game? But even so, I don't think people spend a lot of (any?) money on it?)
It matters for things like testing, module resolution and typescript. ESM runtimes are different, most people use ESM syntax with commonjs module resolution (index files, extensionless imports, babel) but this is not compatible with node.js ESM (lack of index files, required file extension) [1]

The goal of antitrust is to make markets more competitive.

If Google left the EU entirely there’d be even fewer competitors in the digital ads space. Depending on the segment Google’s market share would likely go to Bing, Facebook or TikTok.

The EU wants to increase the market competition, but frustratingly antitrust enforcement may not be effective and might even go in the opposite direction.

The GP ignored books for some reason.

We still use AirBnB/VRBO to book a week at cabins/houses at or near ski resorts or locations that don't otherwise have hotels.

I promise you that no one here is incentivized to please Reddit. Have you seen HN lately?

Same point if you mean OpenAI.

Titles on HN aren't the property of the submitter nor of the author of an article (though the author's opinion carries more weight). They're shared pointers and we edit them to be as neutral as possible. Mods do this all the time and have been doing it since HN began 16 years ago. It's primarily because of that practice that HN's front page looks completely different from Reddit's or any other similar forum's, and that's a crucial factor in the identity of the site.

If we didn't have this rule, people could (and would) use the title field to get away with anything. I'm not saying that's what you were up to, just that this is an important rule and bog-standard HN moderation.
The other day I engaged in a discussion with a friend of mine about Diablo being a overpriced clicker game.

Can you give an example? For many things (software, hardware, buying things,...) older resources might still be valid but dated. For more settled subjects, e.g. encyclopedic, I also have not had Google be worse than Bing.

I think that it is easier to spot warning signs in hindsight. Simply based on this article, it seems possible and even likely that the lab head was deceitful. And the article suggests that the company management was either naive to the point of negligence or possibly they were actively defrauding investors.

No matter what is the case, legitimate mistakes made by egotistical scientists compounded by negligent management or outright deceit and fraud, it is amazing that hundreds of millions of dollars were invested before it was discovered.

Sometimes I lament the fact that I feel nervous asking for a raise even though I have demonstrably provided value and delivered massive projects. One the other side of the spectrum is the gall to ask for 100 million with nothing to show. It sometimes feels like there is a missing middle.
how are the problems different? In all cases you want the maximum performance. The only decision here is how you schedule your tasks. Ideally entirely in parallel and you only schedule them to wait if you can't find a way to make them 100% parallel

Exactly. Not a matter of an incompetent writer who just won't say things plainly and grammatically.
a lot of content is just no longer produced and exposed to the open web (think about how much content goes into tiktok, discord, etc and you will never get that into your search results)

I see this all the time when trying to find information about old computers. So many of the good vintage computing resources are locked in social services or mailing lists that the information never shows up in search engines.

It feels a lot like the days when information was balkanized between AOL, GEnie, CompuServe, American PeopleLink, Delphi, etc.

Search engines were supposed to fix that and make all the world's information discoverable. They didn't.
