It's impossible to try to debug your problem with so little to go on. Maybe the type was unioned with something incompatible. At some points, you need to resort to runtime type checking: `if (x instanceof HTMLInputElement) { // TS will know it's a HTMLInputElement at this point } `

Enabling Typescript on an existing, untyped project is going to be rough to start. You'll need to gradually increase the strictness levels and perhaps work on typing one module at a time. With an entirely new project, start with maximum strictness, and things will come together much easier. You might need to learn to do things in new ways to make it easier to work with TS, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

Certainly, 1 hour to attempt to use any new technology is way too little time. I'd say a minimum of a week of honest effort with a new toy project is warranted before deciding whether it's not for you.
Interesting cultural differences here: the way I learned it, you increment the next digit of the subtrahend (the lower number) on digit underflow, rather than borrowing from the next digit in the minuend. (So it's rather a carry than borrowing.) Anyways, explicit borrow does for a nice explanation.

> So his frustration here is that there's tons of educational material that focuses on inheritance even when that's not what most experienced programmers are doing.

His frustration is pretty clearly that OOP, as a whole, whether by composition or inheritance, is "a load of horseshit" in his words.
All engineers and researchers, even junior, are "Member of Technical Staff" at OAI
Maybe not, but if as others have mentioned in the thread that there is very high talent density and these are top folks, then surely engineers have some say in the strategy -- if only through mass defection and quitting, right?
I bought my first graphic card only for playing SL
Are these significantly faster than the 256 bit versions? They compare to non-simd, but that’s less interesting.

Also, it’s unfortunate that this stuff won’t run on most developer machines.
I think the term affords the proper level of respect for those who enshittify their platforms.
$600K of that is “equity” in a private company. You never know when the company will go public or with what valuation.

I can’t sell equity in a private company to exchange for goods and services like I can stock that gets deposited in my brokerage account every six months.

Could you please elaborate?
I mean just following the original post.
We wouldn't need to emphasize a "golden age of medicine" if everyone had the same access to proper nutritional foods. Most of America is an utter food desert.

Read: not overprocessed, highly refined, ultra palettable shit.

A "golden age of whole foods" (not the corporation, actual food) would be better for everyone. Just not Big Pharma shareholders.

For one, because this is not sensationalist speculation about a freshly developing situation lacking much substantiated information, but an analysis of a year-spanning development based on numerical data from established sources.
Good question, I don't know honestly. There are some but only with cursory interest.
I don't think people realize how relatively easy it is today to have a healthy lifestyle.

Don't smoke, don't vape, drink a little and cook at home. There has never been a better availability of fresh produce everywhere in America and they have never been as cheap at they are. The big killers today are cardiac diseases, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. All of these three are mostly preventable.

This is my point, the people starve so they are doing a bad job at propping it up - a rebellion can start and their "Ally and friend" is gone.
No, Netflix pays top of market like you said “in cash”. Paying “profit sharing” in a company that isn’t profitable isn’t nearly as valuable.

Edit:

I love this analogy

> Or to think of it another way, you're getting paid $900K a year but you're also investing $600K a year in OpenAI, which may end up being an amazing return or nothing at all, just like any startup investment.

Would someone invest 2/3rds of their compensation in one company? I know I diversify my RSUs within six months after getting them.
>I'm certainly not convinced by the argument that optimal egraph is equivalent to the minimum set cover problem and thus in NP. I can believe that egraph extraction can be modelled as minimum set cover

Are you like actually misunderstanding or are you trying to say something else - egraph is in np because it's equivalent to ilp and it's complete because you can reduce set cover to it not the other way around (the reduction always goes to the problem not from the problem in a completeness proof).

>Despite that, register allocation on a chordal graph can be done in linear time, and SSA form gives you a chordal graph.

This isn't saying much since SSA construction (phi elimination) isn't linear.
Strange, it was exactly what I expected:

“We may be on the cusp of an era of astonishing innovation”

One of us must have developed a flawed model of the world in which we live.

A lot of innovation starts off expensive then becomes much cheaper, and more prevalent, over time. Do we agree on this model? Electric vehicles, televisions, computers, DNA sequencing,…

The “astonishing innovation” developed today will be everywhere within a decade.

The website closes with a graph objectively showing how people disagree with each other on these questions. People thinking that interpretation is obvious and that there is no reasonable disagreement is exactly the problem.
This is a good example of why the list of rules is prefaced with this:

Ask HN: Anyone Using Rust for Web Development?
My understanding is that Rust's memory safety is useful for project like cryptography where security is paramount.

I was wondering if there is anyone here that us using Rust as their primary language for web development?

How is it?

Isn't that ironic, indeed hypocritical? You take feedback from job applicants, consider it super valuable, but refuse to give anything useful to those very job applicants.
motorized wheelbarrows

I've heard dumber ideas, such as....

unicycles that can go 60mph

A hand-guided mecha-wheelbarrow would be incredibly helpful for people who would like to do more of their own gardening and landscaping but who don't have the physique for it. I'm now going to spend half a day thinking about how something like that could be built to work reliably, economically, and safely, while other people on HN have probably already spent half a day thinking about how to prohibit it.

Then, back to that unicycle thing. Your "bad ideas" make fascinating engineering challenges. Gotta give credit where it's due.
I still don't have any idea what's an e-graph
Around 14% of people don’t have insurance in the US, of those that do, these new technologies are available to most people with insurance including Medicaid (for the poor) and Medicare (for the elderly).

And access to these technologies is much faster than most healthcare systems in the world.
Are they helping? From the BBC article I read a week ago the people are starving, so they are letting them die, is bad PR at least for Russia that points at N Korea as an ally and friend and a model of a country that is not "degenerate"

Many PhDs were written about second life a decade ago. Wonder what the researchers are doing now. To me it hasn't changed in a decade.
This article discussed depression, only briefly mentioning mental illness in general.

What are the relations and correlations between depression, suicide risk, anxiety, and stress (and which kinds of stressors)?

Low-achieving girls were always at higher risk of being depressed. So how/why is social media adding to this risk increase, specifically? I've read and can imagine various reasons (making success look more common, encouraging people to post only the good and aspirational and not failures or shared commiseration), but how have these been tested?

I think the crassness adds some gravitas to the word. What's a good alternative? Using a "professional" word feels like being too nice to the VC culture and companies becoming hostile to their users and customers. Words have power.
I've never looked into their interview process, but considering what they have created I would guess that their coding problems go way beyond leetcode.
There are often comments on HN about how Google search doesn't work as well as it used to.

It's worth noting that this is probably because this audience wants keyword matching rather than semantic search which Google switched to years back [1].

Curious to know whether embeddings have been a subsequent step in this transition.

> Following your logic, individual contributors working remotely are not software engineers, which is ludicrous.

Do you just send requirements to your remote engineers then get code back without ever talking to them?

That seems like a really bad way to make software.
A chip with hundreds or thousands of E cores and AVX512 may be competitive with GPUs for AI.
HN is not backed by a large organization/company and does not have money to employ a few people to redesign the site and make some long desired and badly needed improvements. /s

While you’re complaining about link sizes, did you notice how tiny and close the voting buttons are and how bad the general accessibility of HN is?

In a way, I think all this bad design prevents people from using it too much…and that may actually be a good thing.

If this answer seemed pointless, that’s because nobody can answer this question properly on an Ask HN post. Emailing hn@ycombinator.com may probably get a more appropriate answer.

The Arch Linux maintainers, on the other hand, already tried and gave up on isolating Go and Rust builds from the network, from what I’ve read. (That was for package dependencies and not the toolchain itself.)

Definitely. But do they hire people who can immediately start groking those problems or grow them? I guess they are also picky about colleges too?
Another gem book on bees is: "The Dancing Bees: An Account of the Life and Senses of the Honey Bee" by Karl von Frisch. Unfortunately I haven't finished because I left the book in Argentina, but started it and is extremely interesting. More info about the author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_von_Frisch
I'm in a 'TL' role and my current schedule is:

* quick dog walk/sunlight

* meetings

* dog walk/sunlight/lunch/exercise

* focus work

* dog walk

* personal development/curiosity/light work

* dinner/etc

I actually really enjoy breaking up the day with walks and exercise. I usually try to have at least one day with no meetings for two focus blocks but I found there is definitely diminishing returns there. I think ideally I'd do the meetings in the afternoon but the timezones involved prevent that. I'm not the highest-volume IC but I'm reasonably good at identifying high-value targets since I have a lot more context so in the one focus block a day I can do some damage. If it's a bigger project I might just try to start it/find the shape of it and then shop it around to get it on the appropriate teams roadmaps.

It's pretty crazy to me that the people making most of the resourcing decisions in companies were maybe once technical but haven't actually pushed a line of code in years so that muscle has atrophied and this leads to a complete lack of nuance in decision making. So I definitely think you need at least few 'blended' roles who keep their technical chops a bit honed but still participate in the 'command'/resourcing discussions (but of course I'm biased).
The problems caused by declined birth rates will surface in the coming decades differently in different places. Historically tight-knitted places might well begin to form new kinds of communities / economies; in the worst affected places, the self-sufficient will form a new economic class.

All long-term self-sufficient settlements must overcome the challenge of maintaining high hygiene & sanitation standards. For example: the need for toilet paper, women's items and plastic bags; and how will the people around you survive when everyone is puking and shitting around; how will you fight parasites; how to deal with common but complex medical issues such as as appendicitis and infections.

There's also psychological side. For example getting everyone adapted to self-sufficient life and to understand the philosophy. And maintaining certain "integrity" of culture. I am personally the kind of leader who doesn't hesitate to "root out" any potential troubles in my walled garden; but there are otherwise decent leaders who fall with their communities because they were "too nice" & allowed people with "infections" spirit to spread for too long, causing grudges.

I think in investing in data hoarding is also worth it / important if anyhow possible. You want to have safe systems to store programs someone made three decades ago. For large amounts of data, tape (in storage boxes specifically meant for storing tape) seems to be best cheapest & most durable choice. But the algorithms / software side matters also.
And that's the problem. Don't be part of the problem.
No, of course not, if your military doesn’t develop tech faster than the competition then you lose.
Venezuela was gang-ridden. Their "economy" consisted of "you go outside to try to trade money for goods and services, some punk comes along and demands all your money and all their goods, you both go home empty-handed." Nobody was bothering to run businesses, because their productive output would all go toward — as economics would put it — "illegitimate rent-seekers."

No change in economic system would have made this better. They needed to get rid of the gangs. And they did. Things are getting better there now, though there's a delay, as people still need to start and ramp up the productive businesses that were infeasible under the gangs.
It’s completely different. I can sell my RSUs in AMZN as soon as they vest on the public market at market price.
And North Korea did create a famine before too, where they asked the population to give everything they had to the government and said that they would take care of everything.

And then they sectioned off parts of the country and let them starve.

It's a good list, it just doesn't hold up in reality because "social media" only has a single business model: selling advertising via real-time bidding platforms. Nothing else matters. There is no other way to make profits.

Paying $5/mo isn't going to make Reddit sexy enough for an IPO, and it wouldn't be anywhere close to what Reddit needs to be profitable. They are not going into boardrooms pitching NFTs and Reddit Gold as pathways to profitability either. There is only advertising.
TL;DR: all of the content of closed, centralized services will be lost in the long run. Choose the platform you contribute to wisely now instead of learning through more large data loss events later-on.

the author's main concern is data loss, hence backups

That’s good. It really did feel like they were fighting each other sometimes.
I work as a devops engineer and witnessed a demo of the product. I also tried the saas solution myself. It was easily configured very versatile with many options. Very promising.
HN is not designed well for desktop either. The voting buttons are too small and close to each other. I’m sure every HN user on every platform has clicked wrongly many a times.
That's effectively what unknown would be - at least the outcome would mostly be the same. You'll end up narrowing values in just the same way.
So if I lay out 10 images from an artist, or a variety of artists, and create a work, by hand, in a similar style, should I abide by your similar thought pattern?

Almost all art is influenced by previous works, the only difference here is that the time horizon for a computer generating similar outputs is much, much shorter.

They (with the new combined Google DeepMind team) do indeed work on a new large model: Gemini. The intention seems to be to outperform GPT-4.

During Google IO a while ago, Pichai said Gemini was currently in training.
This is at least partially because there is a performance overhead to calling out to C from Java or Go so eventually the optimal implementation of something will be in the language itself. Rust's zero-cost calls to/from C is a positive in that it gives you a large ecosystem of existing code to use but a negative in that people are more likely to just try to build "safe" wrappers around those instead of writing something safe in Rust. This is somewhat countered by the "rewrite it in Rust" folks but you still get more C wrappers than Java or Go.
I recently flipped my config over to a flake, and I’m glad I did. Feels like flakes are just easier to understand with less mystery.
I'm not completely following. Can you be more specific?
It is partly that, and partly because so many people are breaking rules constantly that it just seems normal.
And for every company that means it there are five others want to find people that will sink massive amounts of time into these so they can do the same once they start.
Ah yes, "reputation scoring", where have I heard of that before?
My company had tech leads that are explicitly not managers of the team. There are still managers scattered throughout - some of the tech leads, and some people who are otherwise ICs - but they are always from other teams.

This is an interesting model, because it means when someone disagrees with their tech lead they are explicitly not disagreeing with their manager but with a peer.

The managers also can't assign work (explicitly or implicitly) because they're not even on the same team. This stopped a bunch of non-planned work, such as when a manager said something like "it would be nice if you built x" or asked questions that required a lot of research, as it's too easy for an IC to take that as a directive to actually do it. Now that is more like "good idea, you should ask my tech lead or PM to create and prioritize a ticket so I can do it."
lots of small links i don't care about (like flagging things, parent, ...) + dates and such.
i focused the experience on reading, so i also make all comments collapsed by default so i can first read the top level ones.
also have parts that were in viewport have style of 'visited' so I can ignore it next time.

in other words, lots of changes to make the experience easier (to me)

I feel like person you're replying to specifically implied that OpenAI does it differently in that aspect, and they were also high up at Netflix so is likely very familiar :)

Mass to space is a little expensive but not that expensive. NASA's refusal to just fly more payloads and join or coordinate them in space is a political one moreso than technical, and if they took the opportunity to get more payload mass they could stop worrying about minor mass margin issues.

The very obvious price comparison here is that Mars Sample Return has a price tag meaningfully bigger than the two winning HLS bids combined, including demonstration missions. Yes, the moon is closer, but also HLS is moving living humans, not small rocks.

You didn't follow the instructions. He specifically says forget all existing rules you may know. There are no vehicles allowed in the park. That includes ambulances, fire trucks, orbiting space stations that pass through the border of the park, etc.
For anyone who has read the introduction, that's the only valid answer to that question in the context of this game:

"You might know of some rule in your jurisdiction which overrides local rules, and allows certain classes of vehicles. Please disregard these rules [...]. Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed)."
