Please go back to the comment I posted at the top of this thread:

>> Take a robot and put an untrained neural net in its brain, then send it out into the world and wait to see what it learned. Do you think it will learn anything? It won't- because it will observe most events a single time. And neural nets don't learn that way. They must be trained, painstakingly, at great length, cost and effort, only "in the lab", on vast amounts of data and compute. And once they're trained, they're trained. They cannot learn anymore. They cannot change their model. Unless they are retrained. From scratch. Painstakingly, at great cost, on vast amounts of data and compute. Again. And again. And again.

Is that really the limitation that the thing everyone's doing is addressing? Or is this whole sub-thread just a big, irrelevant sidetrack from what I said, brought on by extreme misunderstanding of everything related to the subject? I put my money on the latter.

For the record, what I'm talking about is called "catastrophic forgetting" but I hate this term because it is one more instance of anthropomorphic bullshit of the type that abounds today in internet discourse.
Whatever happened to the SpaceX Starship explosion fall out?
This was in the news for a couple weeks and then no talk! https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/spacex-starship-explosion-spread-particulate-matter-for-miles.html

What the heck is happening to the issue?
I do not think I gonna use it since all I watch is an 1+ hour long videos kind of "speaking heads". There are no problems of clickbait titles if you can overcome an urge to click on clickbait and chose to pick a quality content only at least for the sake of good recommendations afterhand. But I feel the problem of arrows and I will recommend the extention to my friends with bad cases of youtube addiction.
Ah Cookie Clicker's got fancier graphics (although they're kinda heavy, I'd turn them off) and it goes... eldritch at some point. It's definitely the longer of the two to play, I recall finishing Paperclips in about three slow workdays.

There's one, I don't think Cookie Clicker has an ending. It's got countless multipliers, but eventually you're completely out of upgrades and achievements and it just sort of peters out in diminishing returns.

One remark though: if you've been playing for a while, save & back-up your save games. It stores progress in a cookie (I think) and they have a tendency to expire / get lost after a while. I just opened it up (it seems I last played a year ago) and it started a new game, but I had it backed up. Save before you stop playing.
I think the problem is with the popcorn and not the waves ^_^
And that's what I don't get. Especially with the developers I know, you're mostly having a desktop setup with a power supply. Or is the stereotype of most of the developers sitting in a Starbucks all day, every day, true?
That’s exactly what I said: even if you’re running a 1:1 clone, they won’t support you unless it’s RHEL itself.
The 20 clicks it takes for an affiliate is out of the control of the advertiser, and is determined by the publisher and the source of traffic and the intent level of the traffic they are driving.

Google, through their predictive models more or less is promising a certain CPA whereas a publisher may not have such guarantees. So obviously publishers need to be paid on performance instead. Affiliate advertisers still have to compete since publishers have a choice of who to actually publish.

The only thing that GPT-4 achieved that earlier systems hadn't achieved was virality. It is not some magickal breakthrough and it is not even particularly powerful.

As to the ability to use planners- this is the point at which the lady from Poker Face would be doing that thing with here eyes and blurting out "bullshit". Although I don't believe you're lying, just that you really have no idea what you're talking about.
‘Like Disneyland’: Titanic Families Blast ‘Disgusting’ Tours of Wreckage
Safety factors are in terms of the yield stress. So, if they had a safety of factor of 3, this means that they should be able to withstand 3x the expected stress. Pressure is linearly related to depth, so it should have been designed for 12,000 meters with a reasonable safety factor like that. Of course, this doesn't take in to account sharp impacts, which, especially for carbon fiber, dramatically change the strength requirements.

Some ballpark typical numbers for safety factor: spacecraft ~1.2, airplanes ~1.5, automobiles ~3
I’m imagining a dystopian future where to KYC gets way out of control and you are required to undergo a credit, background, and reference check to make an account on a major platform. My guess is that as more of the internet turns to shit that feeds an AI machine that consumes this shit only to regurgitate it later, there will be a need to find out who is really human anymore.
Those are 2 different questions I think:
- hedge funds - on average they underperform indeed. But ... people always think they can pick one that will outperform the others. Go figure ! On the other hand, there are some - like Buffett that you cited, that did outperform indexes over very long periods of time. Also, there are actually hedge funds consistently making money - they are mostly algorithmic stuff, not really stock picking.

- traders - if you ask about day traders, then we absolutely don't need them. What's happening now with those 0 day expiry options and other shit, is historically unprecedented. It will end very badly.
The banks and some hedge funds do need the traders though - the real ones. In the end, you need humans to execute the trades, or at least program / configure the bots.

Some people saw that they had affixed things to the inside of the craft. There is almost assuredly an inner liner that is not structural that these were attached to. Just like an airplane.
On Reading More Books
Sorry, this is unnecessarily pedantic, but as it's a discussion on literature I couldn't help mentioning that it's 'tenterhooks' not 'tenderhooks'
> The website I was taken to was remarkably polished, it looked almost exactly like the real UPS site

"Fake Login Page" site generating scripts are pretty close to slightly customized versions of "Save Page As..." (plus some find/replace logic to fix domains, JavaScript, etc). They have been around for at least 2 decades. The big logistics companies (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL) almost certainly all have FLP generator scripts that are optimized for each one of them by now.

I worked at a social media company and our developers were constantly watching the FLPs that targeted our users. We both built countermeasures so they stopped working and helped mitigate the damage to accounts that we knew were scammed by the FLP sites.
What is "critical social justice"? Is it the opposite of uncritical social justice? To be honest, it reads like the two spooky terms "race critical" and "social justice" conjoined in some word soup that's supposed to be very scary to people who are easily scared by ideas they don't understand.

Race critical social justice is not an ideology and more than set theory (yes, the math one) is. It's a way to view the world that provides you with certain insights. You don't need to believe in any particular solution to those problems in order to identify and examine them.

CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas in terms of climate. You're on that water vapor crackpipe, but water vapor has a residence time of only 72 hours. It doesn't drive warming and cooling. It only works as a feedback for other things like CO2 that do. You should really just let this outdated climate denial bullshit go. It's embarrassing.
Hey, YouTube is only trying to be helpful! It knows that a half-life of a video is about 5 years - every YT video will eventually decay into error message, via one of many phenomena identified by experimental SaaSysicists, such as "geo-block decay" (and its special form, "Germany block decay"), "spontaneous demonetization", "spurious content-ID block", "channel-ban induced cascade", or "Decay Measurement Cascade Anomaly" aka. "DMCA". So it really just wants to make sure you'll watch the video before it's too late!
some cars have a long-term sleep mode. you pull the handle to switch the keyless stuff back on. this still drains the battery, but even slower.

of course, that can malfunction also.
Not op but I also found the the quite extensive list of "share with your friends" to be noticable. Usually it's only 1-3 different networks. Especially when the code hasn't been published yet.
I'd even abstract it to "don't start something that ties your income to hours worked". If you're working alone, you will need time off, and no one can cover for you. It's easier to take time off if your project can survive a few weeks with minimal work. If something comes up in your personal life, you can set the business aside and sort it out.

I learned my lesson early on. I was making websites for small businesses in college. If a client's site had issues, I could not tell them "sorry, I'm preparing for a very important exam". I had to drop everything and fix that right now.
They do not restrict redistribution of what you already have access to, but they don't give access to future updates if you do redistribute. The GPL doesn't require them to give access to future updates either.

I played Swarm Simulator on iphone for a good while, it's a pretty compelling idle game.

I'd say my main issue with idle games is how much they reward you for active play. In Cookie Clicker's case, at random, golden cookies will appear that when clicked apply a random boost, e.g. a 7x multiplier. Eventually you unlock upgrades so that another one may appear while the boost is active, leading to a double boost. The ultimate combination involves a multiplier, a boost to cookies per click (again active), then selling a lot of buildings for an additional short-lived bonus, then clicking like mad.

You can earn a year's worth of idling / not playing within a minute then. If it's not more.
Reddit can be used on a website (which is how I've always used it, old.reddit.com even better) and I assume it's "accessible" on the browser. As another commenter said, as long as disabled users have options for using your application, there's no ground for litigation.
OP didn’t say “don’t want to” in the way that you think he did lol. He’s not interested in being an AWS solutions architect. He was just using that as a specific example of a personal development course that his company offers that’s more suitable for junior engineers.

OP is looking for 2 things:

1) some resource that matches his interests

2) some resource that’s more suitable for his experience level

What you got confused with and also what OP did not clarify is Number 1. Someone else picked up on this and commented that OP was too vague with his asks.
You can summarize it as

"they want more control over the people"

And AI seems to be another tool being twisted to do that

Ask HN: How to Approach Being Laid Off?
I just heard my employer is laying me off in the upcoming month due to financial issues the company is going through.

I was expecting this, but I was not really expecting it this soon!

Now, I'm completely freaking out, because getting a job in my situation is difficult.

1. I'm from Iraq, and I currently live there. This is a deal breaker for almost 70%-80% of companies, because they don't want to work with an Iraqi for lots of reasons.

2. I have 3 years experience in the field, 2 of those years are in training not software engineering, 6 months paid internship, and 5 months as a Junior Software Engineer.

3. My current employers was US-based, and I was enjoying working with them. The work was fully remote ofcourse.

4. Software Engineering jobs are almost nonexistant in Iraq, even if I find one, the salaries here are barely enough to get by unfortunately.

5. I can't afford moving to a different country at the moment, and without a job I'll slowly eat into my savings.

6. Applying to jobs that give out Visa sponsorships also won't work, I don't think companies are going to go through the hassle to hire someone who is still a junior / mid-level engineer.

If you were in my position, what would you do? How would you approach this situation?

I remember my family doing this when I was a child. You can return to the television and listen for the popping to slow if you wish. Returning to the kitchen and finding the lid wasn't placed on pot is tragic comedy. Sweep and mop, the floor will be oily. I think it only happened once.
> a much greater danger of moderated models reinforcing politically correct groupthink

Where's the danger in that? For decades now, I've listened to people whine about "political correctness" trying to stir up some fear that it's coming for our favorite jokes or whatever, yet somehow it never arrives. Instead, what happens every time is that the "politically correct" stuff just ends up boring and bland and nobody engages with it. It has no cultural significance. The incessant complaining about "political correctness" is the deathcry of an older generation that no longer controls the hip lingo and must instead follow someones norms.

Political correctness is not dangerous. It's just boring.

The great thing about Reddit is how it removes almost any friction from creating and joining new „forums“. The less friction or transaction cost you have the better. Without Reddit I’m not sure we’d have dedicated forums of people posting their grilled cheese sandwiches or Babylon 5 GIFs

Nature's cruel and in modern society there's a shrinking place for people without advanced skills. And odds are that a child with a cognitive disability like that wouldn't be able to have advanced skills. So the child is nearly always going to be put into the "Have not" category. A human isn't a pet, and having a child who is always going to struggle to be independent isn't good for society, or anyone involved. With modern medicine we can stop alot of cruelty, like childhood illnesses and such, and we can also screen for these things. Not only this, but the resources taken could've been given to others with far more potential. You could deny child #2 from being a doctor due to the resources that must be given to child #1, and robbing one child for another isn't right, especially when it's wasted.
Cookie Clicker for me, again, sigh. I probably won't play for long. I hope, xD
Nothing wrong with Debian, but RHEL has a better support cycle and more engineering resources dedicated to that support.

Debian 12 will be supported for 5 years, and so will each CentOS Stream release (it ends with the release of the last RHEL point update).

RHEL is supported for 10 years (the last point update is supported for 5 additional years).

Some platforms seem to require a large amount of effort to ship on by design (iOS being an obvious example), but if by the "web" you mean client side (server-side I agree is easier, but at some level any system where most of the work is done remotely/outside user control is easier to work with than one where users have control), then the web has its own issues with shipping software (e.g. bundlers, API support), and lacks support for really digging into the device/platform (for good reasons).

Depending on who you're targeting (in terms of both users and developers), the web may or may not be easier than "native" (e.g. R solves problems for users that the JS ecosystem can't solve).
You don't need to buy more ram. It was already cheap a decade ago. Ram has been in the multiple gigabyte range for longer than that. Having an app that you use all the time every day use a few hundred of the otherwise unused ram is perfectly reasonable.
Not exactly. It did exist, and creators can see the actual count, but otherwise the dislike count isn’t sent by the API anymore. What’s actually going on is those browser plugins are recording the number of dislikes themselves and inferring the number.
Authors. There are two. One is a psychologist from Berkeley. The other is another AI ethics grifter (article affiliation claims she's in the school of computer science at Dublin but her website says she studies human behavior and AI ethics, so not CS research).

Isn't psychology the field that's notorious for generating tons of non-replicable claims that are nonetheless swallowed whole by everyone within it, often for decades at a time? Pop psych books are a giant misinformation industry that nobody within the academy cares to tackle. Hard to imagine a group of people less qualified to talk about a misinformation problem than the ones who have systematically filled our culture with misleading memes and fraudulent studies, without remorse and without any attempt to fix things. They need to remove the plank from their eye before trying to remove the mote from ChatGPT's.

PostgreSQL itself doesn't hire anyone. The trade mark is owned by the "PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada" (https://www.postgres.ca/), which does not hire people or engage in commercial activity. It's just there to protect the name.

There is a PostgreSQL core team (https://www.postgresql.org/developer/core/) that is a kind of steering committee, but does not make decisions concerning development. It consists of people from different companies.

The people who develop PostgreSQL are mostly hired by companies that have a commercial interest in the database and usually sell consulting, support, training, products that need PostgreSQL and customized closed-source forks of the database software.

There is no single authority in the PostgreSQL project. Decisions are made in mailing list discussions, cumbersome as that may be. The ultimate authority over the code is wielded by the committers (https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Committers), which are highly trusted core developers who work for different companies. Development is slower than it might be with a single central authority, but that also part of the reason for the high software quality that PostgreSQL is known for.
Aren't we (almost) all working for billionaires ?
If we're talking software projects, and especially large open source projects with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of contributors, we also have to realize that there's many, MANY people from all over the world with all sorts of opinions to be found amongst the contributors. One man's (or woman's) idea of what is offensive can be entirely innocent to another, and vice versa of course.

And I don't see why anyone's opinion outside the relevant project should matter at all. I've contributed to many projects over the years and I can't think of a single time I've ever come close to caring or even knowing what the maintainer's opinions on the world are. It's simply not something that comes up unless you explicitly go looking for it, and honestly what's the point? I'm sure many of the projects I've worked with have had their fair share of people that I'd disagree with on any number of topics, but that's wholly irrelevant if we're talking PRs since we're not evaluating someones morals and opinions, but the code they're producing. Chances are there's no slurs or anything political in the code they're submitting, so why give the energy to looking at anything else?
