Habr - roughly the most prominent russian-speaking counterpart of HN - had a longstanding "no politics" policy too, which in hindsight only benefited the authoritarian regime by keeping more people "apolitical". When they came for the IT crowd, political threads became the hottest discussed topic there. Personally, that's the only reason for me to visit Habr anymore, to observe the effects the war and the mood among my colleagues and fellow citizens. Political threads on HN serve the same purpose. I believe banning politics outright from media is shortsighted, major events will - and already did - affect the industry, same as, for example, the climate change. Instead of banning, I believe steering the discussion towards these potential effects would prove more beneficial. Besides, not every HN visitor lives in US, the situation can serve as a viable lesson for those promoting absence from local politics: don't repeat the mistake citizens of RF did.
> that other package managers don't require code execution to install

But that's more or less true. Arbitrary code execution isn't a feature needed when installing packages for other languages that don't use C bindings so heavily.

You're spot on that Node.js isn't alone, Python packages are very much the same in that packages can require code execution to install.

But not all packaging systems require the ability to execute package provided code in order to install some packages.

But then, in those languages, binding to C libs is far far less common.
I think this analogy kinda falls apart because in reality the rule “no vehicles” is for a reason.

If “people could get hurt” is the reason for no vehicles, an RC car, a stroller, a quadcopter, and maybe even a hand pulled wagon is perfectly fine because the risk is very low.

If “the noise will be an issue” is the reason, bikes are fine but a quadcopter is not.

If “protecting the environment” is the problem, horses and rowboats may be allowed but RC cars and dirt bikes perhaps not.

Having a rule with no context for the rule is pointless.
If your reliance is on spaced repetition - in the current state - do not switch. An SRS has not been implemented yet, but it is high on the priority list.

Once it has been added, I’d encourage you to look around and see if Scholarsome can fit your use case. To be upfront - this is still very in-dev. Anki is much more feature complete, and will be for some time, but I’m a believer in shipping fast and early to get feedback from users.

I don’t have any plans to monetize my hosted option. At most, I may add a donate button in the future. Releases are all containerized, so it should be easy to host yourself on a system under your control if you trust that more than using a third party.

A unicycle is definitionally not a bicycle, but any rule for bikes in this hypothetical would surely also apply to unicycles.

We applied some advice that I saw on a HN thread years ago (but sadly do not have the link handy) and it has worked well: we pay our candidates for their time. The take home concept really is insulting when a candidate’s time isn’t valued. Since we incur a cost so we’re serious about knowing for sure that we want to interview the candidate.

I wish people were less surprised when we tell them they deserve to be paid for their work, but companies have been advantaged in the hiring process for so long (excepting COVID) that disregard for people’s time is embedded in corporate culture.

However, to the point people have made about not getting comprehensive feedback: it’s just not worth it. Corporate counsel will basically refuse to let you tell a candidate why they were rejected for fear of any inadvertent lawsuit exposure. This is also deeply embedded in corporate culture and it’s hard to imagine it changing.
Have you taken any of those certificates? They can be passed from reading exam dumps and without proven hands on experience mean nothing.
I’ve been looking into adding the ability to import sets from Anki, especially with how widespread it is. We already have it for Quizlet, but Anki will certainly be next to be able to be imported from.
>but the obvious intent of the sign couldn't be clearer. Cars/trucks/motorcycles aren't allowed, and obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

I answered that the police and ambulances were obviously breaking the rules, because they are. The difference is that ambulances/police are allowed to break the rules in an emergency - famously, ambulances have a legal right to speed and run red lights in an emergency, and cops obviously have a right to trespass.

This of course is a paradox, as a rule is something that you are forbidden from doing, and being allowed to break the rule means you're allowed to do something you're forbidden from doing, which when interpreted literally is an oxymoron.

The obvious explanation is that the cops/ambulances have a set of rules that take priority over the park's rules , and some rules are more important than others.
Most college students seem to actually be making pragmatic choices w.r.t their colleges majors, i.e. most are business majors: https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=37

That makes sense given that for decades finance, health, or administration etc. hire the most,

And to be fair, I get it. Industry is too diverse to have one end all be all test. An AWS certificate won't mean much for my domain in games (unless you maybe work on online infrastructure for an ongoing service game).

What about a bike that can provide thrust without pedaling, but you're not making use of that feature in the park?
Thanks, good explanation. More questions.

Models have the initial N embeddings passed through, processed by the attention+linear blocks which add something to the input. Sort of memory bus. After the last block we still have array of the same dimensions like N initial embeddings, but they mean something else now. How do we select the next token, based on the last element in that array?

Another question, that bus technically doesn't have to have the same width, right? It should be possible, for the same model's size, to trade bus width for the number of heads. Even have sort of U-Net.

And the last, on each loop resulting embedding (1) is converted into token, which is being added to the input. Converted to embedding first, it should be possible to just reuse embedding (1), and use token only for user output, right?

PS: not sure about every combination tried, we just started. Some of the problems still don't have satisfying solutions. Like hallucinations, online training. Or responsibility.
UK MoD estimated earlier in the year that 97% of the Russian Army was deployed to Ukraine.

The 1st Guards Tank Army, which includes the elite units traditionally tasked with Moscow's defense, the 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division and the 4th Guards Tank Division has been heavily committed in Ukraine for most of the war.

There is a defensive plan activated and deployment of forces in Moscow, sure, but Wagner has a lot of troops and combat experience, and what Russia has kept available at home mostly aren’t regular army troops, but Nationa Guard troops mainly used for intimidating civilians.
> obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

That’s not so clear IMO. It depends on the severity and urgency of the accident, and whether there is a really prohibitive issue that entirely prevents heavy vehicles from entering, like quicksand or muddy ground that will get an EMT stuck.

> even if they are allowed to break the rule they are still breaking the rule.

This is exactly right, I think, and in fact those who are focusing on the "intent" of the rule or on whether a violation of the rule is justified seem to have missed the clear wording of the instructions:

> Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed).

So the only questions that ever enter into it are (a) is this object a vehicle?, and (b) is the object in the park?

> a park sign that says no vehicles also applies to bicycles and skateboards.

Interesting, my dividing line was that a bike is a vehicle but a wagon, rowboat, or skateboard are not. The majority seems to think both a bicycle and a memorial tank (??!) are not vehicles under the rule.
Bunch of previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24282270
I see your overall point which is a good one and I know this is a nitpick, but I thought Rich’s core solution to the cost of immutable data structures was to find a way to get the cost down by extending some existing research by Phil Bagwell.

From https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3386321

“I then set out to find a treelike implementation for hash maps which would be amenable to the path-copying with structural sharing approach for persistence. I found what I wanted in hash array mapped tries (HAMTs) [Bagwell 2001]. I built (in Java) a persistent implementation of HAMTs with branching factor of 32, using Java’s fast System.arrayCopy during path copying. The node arrays are freshly allocated and imperatively manipulated during node construction, and never mutated afterwards. Thus the implementation is not purely functional but the resulting data structures are immutable after construction. I designed and built persistent vectors on similar 32-way branching trees, with the path copying strategy. Performance was excellent, more akin to O(1) than the theoretical bounds of O(logN). This was the breakthrough moment for Clojure. Only after this did I feel like Clojure could be practical, and I moved forward with enthusiasm to release it later that year (2007).”

Or you tell me what I’m missing. Big fan of your work in core.async if this is the same halgari.
Allow me to introduce you to the dictionary[0]

Vehicle (noun)

1. a means of carrying or transporting something

...such as

... a: motor vehicle

... b: a piece of mechanized equipment

2 : an agent of transmission : carrier

3: a medium through which something is expressed, achieved, or displayed

----------------

You're thinking of specifically a __motorized__ vehicle. Which is a different thing than "vehicle". I think you'll agree that a bicycle and skateboard carry people and transport them. This is the same reason a wagon violates the rule. Almost everything on there was a vehicle. I think the only ambiguous ones are paper airplane, matchbox car, toy boat, and kite and I said those weren't because they can't transport things and are not motorized. But hey, technically they can be a medium through which someone expresses their joy.

No painting or dancing in the park.

>> You might know of some rule in your jurisdiction which overrides local rules, and allows certain classes of vehicles. Please disregard these rules; the park isn't necessarily in your jurisdiction.

But the park is somewhere on Earth, right? And the sign is written in English for humans to read and understand. Ignoring my personal locality/jurisdiction doesn't change this.

>> Or perhaps your religion allows certain rules to be overridden.

This one felt irrelevant to me.

>> Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (__not whether the violation should be allowed__).

This tells me that my job is to determine whether the rule allows skateboards and not whether the rule should allow skateboards. This does not instruct me to be ridiculously literal while making that determination.
Posts by Prigozhin are censored in Russian social media but those who access uncensored media like Telegram knew everything for very long time already.

It is likely that Prigozhin will be taken care of, but if not this does not bode well for Russia or Russians.

Or for Ukraine and Ukrainians. Note how he is always careful to say he does not mean to distract Russian forces from attacking Ukraine. And if he takes over chances are he can actually improve military, which no thanks
Dunno about other jurisdictions but the written Polish law actually has some quite prominent references to unwritten, socially defined rules, both in the civil and the criminal law.
My theory is that they’re looking for compliant, docile employees who won’t have the courage or the liberty to refuse unpaid overtime demands or complain about shitty stressful work conditions.

By having such an abuse and convoluted requirement for applying, you’re selecting for people in this situation. Then all you have to do is hire the best on the technical solution and you’ve got one more employee you can abuse in your company :)
> I understand the rule to be about vehicle use more than presence

Which I guess is part of the point - the rule specifically does not say anything about use, only presence - but people (including me) are still interpreting the rule with a "usage" axis. Perfect demonstration that the "simple rules for Internet content that are easy to apply" assertion has fallen over at the first hurdle.
Where I live, such signs are more specific. They prohibit either use of any motorized vehicle (which by law doesn’t include electrified bicycles that can go up to 25kph), or the use of bicycles, or both, or only prohibit cars, or only motorcycles, or only trucks above a certain weight.
> That's not a simple answer but why would it depend on whose chips you have?

How do you estimate how much life is left on any given part of the physical flash?

This is one of those areas where neglecting the optimizations qualitatively changes the result. It's like Twitter without scalability, sure you can build it in a weekend but what problem does that solve?

Don't get me wrong, I would like to see all of this stuff get better standardized, documented, and open source, but for the most part this is a cost-sensitive commodity and if you want to roll your own SSD qty 1 from bare chips it's just going to be orders of magnitude more expensive than letting SanDisk or whoever do it. Maybe it will be possible to get the hyperscalers and cloud operators to push for the kind of standardization you describe, it would benefit them.
If you base your success on money, sure. Maybe tests are a good filter.

Personally, I'm seeking something more furfilling and the difference between 200k and 300k doesn't matter if I don't find the work furfilling. 300k to 400k would be negligible for any material possessions I'd want.

But to each their own.
This “thought experiment” is painting a narrative using a false dichotomy. “I don’t know” is always a valid answer. The nice thing about rule based systems is that they can be augmented with additional rules. You don’t know wether or not a skateboard is a vehicle? That’s ok. We can add a new rule that defines that.
Your video is good, something I can link to now when I rant about this to people.
Once I got an SSD for Windows 7, everything opened instantly. I'd click Word or Firefox, 500ms later it was open. Loved using my thinkpad E420 with an SSD upgrade and having everything respond instantly while I was studying.

Once Windows 8.0 came out, everything went to shit. It takes several seconds to open anything now.

I recently fired up a Windows 7 VM to interface with some old hardware, and was shocked that everything within the VM opening instantly, exactly how I remembered it.

P.S. The lag is still present on my m1 mac in macOS compared with Windows 7 + SSD.
It's a lot better on my Manjaro Linux desktop with KDE, but not quite as instantaneous as Windows 7 was.
Only once I did a take home and I passed & got an offer. Even though it was a mildy challenging I hated it.

Tbh if I didn't have knowledge on the framework I know I wouldn't have been able to complete it. However I found it disheartening the fact that they just checked that the app worked, didn't have any bugs but didn't even cared to ask around if I actually did it.

These days I can't even imagine how easy it is to cheat with ChatGPT. Last guys I have interviewed I tell them to download a repo with a sample app and poke around with questions. I can quickly tell if someone is BSing and how deep they actually know about the language/framework. I've found this to be better than live coding or take home.

On the other topic, remember that the hiring side doesn't have an incentive to tell you how well or how much you suck at coding, interviewing etc.
The context is also radically different.

Let's say I come up with an assignment and I pass it to a junior to see how long it takes. The junior does the work, likely reports the time rounded down, but also with no stakes. Jim job is secure.

As an interviewee you're gonna spend time polishing the code. Every variable well named, lots of comments, good functions, well considered parameter order etc. It's gonna take longer because , for you, the stakes are higher. You'll likely build some code to test it, and so on.

This is before we discuss domain knowledge that the junior had, and also that the company implemented the task in the first place and didn't just spitball the time expected.
I take this as a litmus test and refuse to interview with a company that has pedantic hiring practices.

One problem I've seen is that most addictive things, including games, either offer a diversity and discovery of content (as seen in watching YouTube videos or playing incremental games (Cookie Clicker, Candy Box!, etc.)), or foster competition and demonstration of skills (as seen in games like chess or FPS). However, memorization is by nature a repetitive and solitary task.

Duolingo operates in this space, and their gamification model, I believe, is to motivate users to study by allowing them to display their streaks and levels to others. (competition)

Anki also has a streak-based gamification, and it's somewhat successful, as seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/search/?q=streak&restrict_sr=1.

However, these gamifications are not as fun as real games. It won't make your heart thump like FPS games do.

I believe there is room to incorporate features from incremental games (like Cookie Clicker) into flashcard apps, although it is not as simple as it sounds. Habitica [1] is another example of integrating incremental features into a task management system, but it lacked a diversity of content when I tried it last year. Incremental games are not merely about numbers increasing; they also involve the discovery of various elements (like grandmas, farms, factories, mines, shipments, alchemy, portal, ... in Cookie Clicker).

I'm with the parent comment, as I think the context is important here.

If you think the emergency service vehicles violate the rule, how about a park maintenance vehicle or a park ranger vehicle? Would you say "no vehicles in the park" rule applies to them too, so they would be violating it?

Correct, it’s a web app. It’s run on a server that you will need connection back to - it’s not an Android or iOS app. Again, this is still very early in development. It’s likely that we will look into offline functionality in the future.

In the future, we may potentially look into adding companion apps that can sync back to the server, but that is a far ways off from now.

3) modified virus, accidentally released from lab

4) modified virus, intentional release

At the start of the pandemic, the conspiracy nuts embraced option 4, and the left by reflex embraced option 1 and accused anybody who believe in 2 or 3 of believing in 4. Only later did options 2 and 3 gain more acceptance

> obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign

By "doing their jobs", you presumably mean "responding to an emergency call", right? Because, e.g., cops in normal transit from A to B are "doing their jobs" but letting them drive through a "no vehicles allowed" park in that instance is probably bad. Or if they're on a high-speed chase - definitely "doing their jobs" but not something you'd want to happen through a park.

> an example of how content moderation rules are unclear to follow

You've amply demonstrated this by creating a huge muddy mess around "emergency services doing their jobs".
It is funny that you say so because for me the primary axis was about whether the rule was violated or not.

This is why some people (including myself) chose that an ambulance driven into a park wouldn't be a violation of the rule.
> There are people with authoritative knowledge, and you ask them the questions, and they give a "yes or no".

Given that there have been many cases of lawmakers not understanding the impact of their own laws. Contracts unraveled by punctuation errors, complex interactions between rules, people managing parks often not being the same as people writing the rules, ... . I find this claim to be completely removed from reality.
> Humans can't create logically-consistent models in-depth, no matter what the domain.

One of those inconvenient truths. I've found in my practice that computers, to a degree, can be a crutch that helps with that. Once your model becomes inconsistent, your program will stop working properly, whether you noticed the inconsistency yourself or not.
