Clickbait.
I believe you are just not aware.

C-Level folks make many millions a year, either liquid or paper.

I am at FAANG and virtually everyone at L6 (staff Eng level, many thousands of people) is paid at least $500k, with monthly liquidity (no cliff).

With a bit of luck stock wise, it’s also not uncommon at all to get to $500k+ at L5 (senior eng level, many dozens of thousands of people).

Everyone in my SF network (hundreds of people) virtually make above $500k.
That versatility comes at a cost though - nothing in silicon is free. It clearly couldn't compete with GPUs in their strengths, and couldn't find it's own niche, which is why it was cancelled.

And I'm not sure it'll be that much easier to program - "few large cores" and "GPU waves" are now pretty well supported in the stack with mature tooling - trying to insert a new stack between the two would likely be pretty difficult as it doesn't really fit well with either established paradigm so likely needs something new to show it's benefits.
What's more frustrating is the security absolutist mindset that seems too common in these sorts of discussions, where meaningful improvements in security are derided as useless because they don't solve every single problem in every scenario. Or worse, because they don't satisfy a particular ideological view of how computing should work, whether or not that truly impacts security.

Is running Signal on an iPhone going to stop the Mossad from Mossading your chats if they want to? Probably not, but then neither will exclusively communicating using some fully open source cellphone with full root access that doesn't actually exist. The benefit of Signal on an iPhone is that people will actually use that and it will help against a lot of things that aren't the Mossad pulling out all the stops coming after you personally.

Honestly a lot of security discourse feels like calling airbags and seat belts useless because they won't help if you drive head on into a bullet train. Let's have a discussion about limitations and paths to improvement, absolutely. But ignoring "better" because it's not "perfect" is rarely a good strategy.
Lies We Tell in Leadership, Part 1: Self-Deception
At 62k€ before taxes you're in the 10% top earners in the country. That's about 41-47k€ after taxes depending on your situation.
I wrote my Congressional representation about this. Only Chuck Schumer sent me back a reply, and I can't actually tell what his position is. He summarized the bill, then said he worked on making Big Tech more secure ("I have worked to have these sites deploy more secure internet protocols"; must have had some help from Al Gore there) and that he values privacy ("I voted in favor of H.R.2048, the USA Freedom Act, which became law on June 2, 2015. This bill provides additional safeguards for individual privacy in our surveillance rules and ends bulk metadata collection. Moving forward, I will continue working to strengthen privacy protections under the law.").

For whatever reason, my first reading of this email was "fuck you, I'm outlawing encryption TOMORROW" but after re-reading it, I'm actually less sure about that. This one is a nail-biter; outlawing encryption is probably the end of the iOS and Android ecosystem, because we'll have to use OSes from outside the US. Or let random low-level NSA employees read all your illustrated love letters to your partner. Feels a little gross just thinking about it.
They may also be less likely to believe they're "overqualified" for jobs outside the narrow domain of a college degree or that they shouldn't ever not be working because "I have a masters degree, dammit!"
This truth is horrific. Of course some of it is due to band information, doctors who aren't aggressive enough with nutrition requirements, terrible school lunch programs, bad subsidies, housing prices and workong hours that make it more affordable to buy tons of fast food in the short term rather than meal prep... and so on. Certainly and epic fail with an enormous human cost. Quality of life with diabete is observably diminished. :(
> There has never been a better availability of fresh produce everywhere in America and they have never been as cheap at they are.

Sort of. Most grocery store produce in the US will have several days of shipping time and shelf time before being purchased, followed by additional storage time in refrigerators or fruit baskets. Additionally nutrient losses can be incurred when cooking with heat, which is also more frequent in modernity.

This can still result in substantial nutritional decline, and is often very significant in vitamins (especially vitamin C) that oxidize readily.

Harvard’s Francesca Gino, Dishonesty Expert, Is Accused of Fraud
Do you think the next funding round or when it goes public will increase its valuation?

Can you name on tech company that went public in the past decade that has outperformed the S&P? What’s OpenAIs moat that couldn’t be duplicated by a deep pocketed public tech company like Facebook, Google or Amazon (my employer)? Two of those companies already have large publicly available data centers and an existing customer base to sell to.

So, PayPal. You sign in on PayPal.com, and PayPal communicates with the merchant. That’s how it works today. You never give any secret data to the merchant. You only allow the merchant to ask PayPal for your money.

That’s exactly how your proposed solution would have to work as well, if you want to support recurring payments or price adjustments. As soon as you allow the merchant to adjust pricing and/or interval, it opens the possibility for fraud. Because there is some way that the merchant needs to have to adjust these parameters. And if the merchant can do it, so can an attacker that takes over the merchants accounts. Like it would be the case with PayPal today.

(And by the way, that’s also how most of the credit card payments work today. Stripe for example does not allow the merchant to collect credit card information of the customer. Instead, the merchant embeds a Stripe web page into the checkout process which collects the credit card information. All the merchant gets is a token that allows them to collect money from the customer to their Stripe account. If an attacker were to obtain this token, all they could do would be to collect money to the merchants Stripe account. So they would have to also take over the merchants Stripe account to get paid out.

All in all, this is a quite secure system. The only problem is that people love to type in their credit card information on sketchy sites that just plain out steal them. With your suggestion, people will still send scammers money because after all, people are and will always be stupid. Just search for „crypto scam“ on Google and you’ll find plenty of examples of people actively sending money to scammers.)
The US placed sanctions against India in the late 90s after India performed the nuclear bomb tests.
That's a good point.

You see this in western countries w/ the housing crisis: fighting NIMBY groups is politically dangerous and creates powerful enemies. Plus liberalizing development policy like zoning = municipal gov loses power to control which developers get juicy contracts.

So instead they enact rent-control. Which famously in 1970s NYC/Toronto caused a significant increase in housing shortage because no one wanted to invest in new properties for fear they'll also be rent controlled in the future. No one did renovations either so existing stock went into disrepair.

Some of them simply burned down their own buildings because they were too expensive to maintain, which was a major cause behind the famous pictures of Harlem looking like a warzone in the 80s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59af5625a803bb...

I was just reading the website for the new (projected) mayor of Toronto and, surprise, no mention of reform. But she is planning to launch a campaign for city wide rent control. Some things never change.
Nope, that's idiotic.

If you want them to pay, tax the fuel and consumables like tyres, or put a tax based on how hard is to recycle the car once it hits the scrapper. Bit more complex with EVs I admit, but making someone pay just for keeping car even if they use it once a week is silly.

Yearly fee should be proportional to legalese required to keep it registered (paying wages), not much more.
> Do you have an API?

Yes, I have an HTTP API that you can use to programmatically interact with me. The API is at heypi.com/api. You can find the documentation and examples at heypi.com/docs. The API allows you to create conversations, send and receive messages, and more. You can even integrate me with your own apps!

Not true, lol. Returning 404s.
What SF family with children are paying 4K a month on "rent" and what exactly do you envision this rented abode to be that is even remotely liveable with children? Are you living in anything close to reality?
I can add that, but basically because you can’t use it on physical machines (like laptops) without a lot of workarounds. Even LXC on Proxmox makes it unaccountably hard to do.
That made me curious. I think here is an emulator for Canon Cat: https://archive.org/details/canoncat
It sure _may_ be. Nevertheless, the efficient way of solving the problem is making concise and accurate rules, and perhaps explicitly expressing the intent.

If the rule or intent is ambiguous, problems may be considered inevitable.

In the above game, you really can't guess the intent. Of course this is partly, because it's an abstract example. But the intent can't really be "no cars or carsy things", because the real intent in "no cars in the park" would be perhaps a combination of no loud noises, no high speed, no heavy objects, no pollution etc.

I realize this may not be an agreeable point since I only got 11% in the game with the assumption that a vehicle is something used for transport (excluding wearables) and that the rules would be seen somewhere in or around the park (so not in the air).
It should be no surprise that companies contracting with the Federal Government create layers to match whatever the government creates. It should also be no surprise that the large players in contracting propose changes to government structures that feed this cycle in perpetuity. "Digital Transformation" is all the current rage and the new job titles are springing up in response.

The legendary Pete Worden touched on this in 1992's "On Self-Licking Ice Cream Cones"[0]. Not all his examples have aged well. Hubble was resurrected and the massive early problems (and costs) forgotten. He also confuses operational systems (EOS, GOES, etc.) with tech demonstrators (Clementine, etc.). Despite that, his comments on organizational behavior are well made.

Seriously? We're saying that dating a 19 year old makes you a pedophile now?
don't forget all the routers in the path between your consumer level Internet connection and Google. Level3 and telia need their court orders too!
No, that's not an argument that I'm making. Programming as an activity doesn't preclude the comprehensive creation of a program.
Yes I have. Mjolnir is not really suited for the problem I am describing because:

A) you need to create an account for the bot and provide an access token (which is cumbersome to obtain). In Discord that type of moderation of users works ootb.

B) There is no mechanism for role-based permissions. In Discord, you can create a role and assign specific permissions to that role which can control different rooms, etc. in your server. That is not possible in Matrix currently even with Mjolnir or custom app services because of how power level mappings work.

It's a problem I'm interested in solving but it would require MSCs drafted to alter the Matrix spec to create a new permissions model and will have extremely far reaching implications for homeserver implementations.
You changed the context pretty substantially by moving it to the end of the piece and putting it in scare quotes though. I also read it as intentionally pejorative. You might want to edit the post if that's not what you meant.
> They are largely unsophisticated on financial and business matters so do not know how much to ask for, how to maximally leverage a breach as a first party (i.e. do not know how to use say investment bank deal details to do effective trades), and how to actually cash out large amounts of money undetectably.

I wonder how many actually sophisticated attackers gain access to banks and other companies and purposefully keep a low profile but skim off low-bandwidth information meant for internal communications only, then aggregate and sell the intel to hedge funds or trade stocks on their own.

Maybe the reason why we think that most attacks are caused by unsophisticated actors is because those are the one who are actually detected.

Just kind of an interesting hypothesis that I’ve heard variations of before.
This is such a bad take. People travel for entertainment, they don’t need to become a different person after coming back from Las Vegas.

Some people watch a movie, others go to a museum in a different city.

Additionally, the premise that all travel is meaningless discards what you could experience by spending 5 days in rural Bangladesh after living your whole life in New York. Talk about eye-opening.
Sanctions seem to be the opposite of acts of war by basically any definition.
It's like your willfully misconstruing to make what points here?

>It doesn't follow that all instances of e-graphs are unsolvable in polynomial time, only that some aren't.

Yes and hardness results are about proving lower bounds on worst case complexity not best case or sometimes case or whatever-you-chose-as-meaningful case.
Obviously the mileage varies for each person, but my own house on my own land is more enjoyable and fulfilling than anything a city can offer me.
Prigozhin's going to get poisoned / assassinated within 3 months. Maybe within 2 weeks. He's crazy if he think's he'll survive to see 2024 without a successful rebellion. He's a dead man walking, and I don't understand what could possibly be in the deal that could convince him otherwise
> It violates the right to due process and to face one's evidence and accusers.

Due process is from the government when they accuse you of a crime. In this case, the government is not attacking your privacy and there are no accusers.

Google is pretty bad at semantic understanding too. Try searching for "implementing stackoverflow in typescript". You will get "implementing in typescript" results that come from "stackoverflow". (Then for a good measure try the same in ChatGPT)

I started to use AutoGPT and Chat GPT to look for grift in congress, along with fines

I was looking up announcements for certain industries / companies who announced large projects granted/influenced by legislation, then grants and associated politicians investments from opensecrets.org... - it was pretty tedious with the free account - Ill need GPT 4 to do what I would like --

It will be great to have 'GovWatchGPT' monitor acts such as these, the companies that apply, granted, success/fail and the politicians they donated to, and whom invested into their companies just prior to an act passing.

Doing things like this between AutoGPT, and ChatGPT - you can see kind of how I was starting to look at congress, but to get current articles and such, had to use autoGPT - but it was having issues saving data...

Will IntelliSense now provide bounds for the CoPilot predictions? I find Copilot hallucinates method signatures that don’t actually exist in the SDK. IntelliSense of course knows that.
Still ridiculous.

If you forbid parties after midnight, people will party before midnight (have you been to London?).

If you forbid parties, people will still gather ("you're seriously calling our chess playing night a party?!").

If you want to forbid people gathering, forbid people gathering.
This seems to imply that the length of all tasks is unknowable until undertaken, which isn't really true. For those that cannot be estimated ahead of time, I agree with you, but also refer back to my point that all programming tasks do not fit that criteria.

> I must redundantly ensure you know this number is a number! Even though you can easily convert it to one if you need to, and move on! Yay

I don't get where you're coming from. Yeah you can easily convert something to a number[1], so isn't it a good idea to force a dev to do that easy conversion by emitting a compile-time error if they don't? Because if they don't, and the value doesn't get coerced correctly, then the code blows up at runtime.

As it happens, the Luke-Yoda phraseology like "Do or do not. There is no try" seems to be drawn by George Lucas from the popular late 1960s era books by Carlos Castaneda about a mentorship (~7 mil copies sold). That in turn seems to be about the apprenticeship that Castaneda had with his UCLA PhD advisor Harold Garfinkel:

I am kind of floored at how badly all the top comments have missed the point, considering how clearly the point was made by the author.

It has basically nothing to do with your interpretation, or how "good" you are at understanding the literal or intended meaning of the sign. The point is about how hard it is for all of us to agree on these matters.
I am very skeptical about any statistics related to employment because it seems to all start from the premise that the government wants the number to appear much higher than it really is, so they define it in deceptive ways. Similarly with something like this Resignation I am skeptical about who they are including in these numbers.

I doubt I am counted in any employment statistics, scraping by mainly on small intermittent contracts from Upwork or Reddit interspersed with attempts at bootstrapping startups, for most of the last 20 years or so. But that doesn't mean I don't work. Far from it.

The last time I had a non-contracting (employed) role was in 1998.
Because this is HN. When it's not about tech or startups, dang will come in and say it's political and so we're not allowed to talk about it.

Lists don’t, though. It is easy enough to get that going if you use the API (which I did, obviously), and feels like something the platform could easily add.

That's not what the word strawman means.
That is one position, but here's the thing though - how does something like "F = ma" enter into your mind in the first place? It first has to enter your consciousness right? And then maybe you might need to make a focused effort of grappling with it to understand what the symbols and implications of that equation mean before you sort of internalize it?

Maybe one line of inquiry that might be able to give us some clues is if we're able to actually have people learn something like a physics equation with no prior knowledge of it while they aren't conscious of the learning of it. That might be a hard study to do with possible ethical concerns but if there's a way to design it, I could see some hope for getting closer to understanding the role/structure of consciousness.

One maybe plausible explanation might be that there's some sort of hierarchy of pattern matching there, where first you need to understand language, then mathematical language, then finally the physics equations. If you take that view, then the equations are really just extremely sophisticated pattern matching constructs. They don't have to actually _be_ the code that makes the universe-computer run so to speak, they just need to give us a precise enough predictive model that we're able to do useful things with it.

Maybe another way to put it is, we're not actually uncovering the source code of the universe, we're just looking at the functioning of the universe and extrapolating our own patterns that yield the greatest predictive power. On that view at least there are some plausble avenues for explaining strange artifacts like the time-reversibility of some equations - i.e. our patterns show that this will give predictions even if time flowed backwards, but the universe's time doesn't flow backwards because this pattern that we found is not the same thing as the actual universe. In that sense we'll never be able to actually uncover this source code so to speak, but that is just how science works - we're always looking for a more accurate theory - we'll never reach "the final theory", and even if we did, how would we know?
Never attribute to intelligence that which can be sufficiently explained with rich spoiled brats posturing
Turing had very important contributions to the design of several early computers, culminating in the Ferranti Mark 1, the first general-purpose electronic computer available commercially (in 1951, ahead of UNIVAC).

The most well-known contributions of Turing to the instruction set architecture of Ferranti Mark 1 were a pair of instructions that were added to other CPUs only many years later, i.e. the equivalent of POPCNT (added by Intel only in 2009, in Nehalem) and of RDRAND (added by Intel only in 2012, in Ivy Bridge).

No other reasons are necessary to recognize his great merits.
So could Google now just spend another few millions of compute training with Chinchilla and be exponentially further along?
I think this is a circus, where Putin and Prigozhin are completely aligned, and the point of that show is to make one point: if the West doesn't like Putin, there are options that are much worse.

3. Prigozhin lashed out and got in over his head, realized he committed to a suicide mission with no political support and is trying to back out of it any way that he can.

> From Kremlin position, leaving Prigozhin go away peacefully means this kind of uprisings with big demands are going to repeat. From Prigozhin's position, this means to step back after becoming an existential threat and try to co-live peacefully. Very implausible.

Yes, he's probably a dead man walking, that doesn't mean that the Kremlin can't agree to allow him to walk away peacefully while they come up with a way to assassinate him. The Kremlin will better understand that trope about diplomacy being the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock.
