They've already found a solution: If your own citizens refuse to serve the military-industrial complex, then simply use foreigners:

Join the military, become a US citizen - https://apnews.com/article/army-air-force-recruiting-shortfa...

And the police: Bill to allow noncitizens to become Illinois police officers heads to governor’s desk - https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/bill-to-allow-no...

In addition to helping hit military recruitment targets, they also have less attachment to the American people, so they're less likely to revolt if they were deployed domestically.
Buybacks don’t necessarily “suppress” price discovery, they’re just another mechanism for imputing per-share price, like revenue, margin, etc.

If you wish, it’s trivial to filter out the effect of buybacks. Look at market cap over time instead of price over time. Look at market cap divided by revenue over time, instead of market cap divided by share price over time.

Buybacks are not always the best use of capital, but with BRK as a key shareholder, you feel that it must make sense in their circumstance. The same money Apple invested in buybacks, its competitors have invested in dubious hiring sprees and unchecked R&D.

I wouldn’t add to my apple position, but I wouldn’t consider selling any time soon. The folks at BRK know better than me!

Most importantly it results in a significantly increased workload for the maintainers, and spreads out effort over a bigger area.
So the most likely outcome is a language with multiple mediocre compilers, instead of one really good one that everyone works on.

Which is the exact opposite of what the intention behind this proposal is, which is to make the language more maintainable.

There are quite a few inaccuracies in this comment for one sentence.

MacOS and before it Mac OS X do not have “Linux” roots. The operating systems are based on Darwin which has roots in FreeBSD (which is emphatically not Linux).

You could say it has Unix roots or BSD roots, although they have diverged significantly. MacOS for example runs on a Mach micro kernel rather than the monolithic kernel you’d find in a Linux or BSD distribution.

As far as the user land goes MacOS does ship a full BSD shell environment and not a GNU/Linux one.

I don't know where in Europe you experienced people mostly living in the homes they inherited. I've lived in Austria and Germany since 2005 and 2013 respectively and I think I know maybe one person who lives in the apartment their grandmother left them after she passed away? That's in no way standard/expected.

Also despite most/all of Europe having had low fertility rate for a long time, there's still a lot of growth in some places and decline in others (mostly people moving from rural areas into the big cities, and from the poorer countries into richer ones). So stuff isn't static even if the total population number didn't change much.

Russia has had its border with NATO extended greatly by this war, by Finland joining, and yet no war with Finland.
A lot of the AI doomerism comes from folks who do not understand the real complexities in making systems which really can function in a fully autonomous way in an environment which is hostile and dynamic. Much like an AI maybe tasked to sniff for security loopholes, there will be other AI's which will be tasked to defend. Eventually costs, resources also boil down into what is possible.

Evolutionary goals are not easy even with autonomous systems as goal definition is largely defined by societal needs, the environments we stay in and the resources we work with.
Hi HN! I'm one of the creators of HiringCafe, and we're excited (and very nervous) to be posting this on HN. We're recently backed by Pioneer!

We struggled to find sales candidates who were passionate about our industry. Our recruiting strategy looked like this:

1. Job Boards: only a handful of sales candidates understood our industry.

2. LinkedIn Outreach: low interview scheduling rate

3. Referrals: Only a few responses at best

We realized how important industry background/passion is for sales candidates so we to solve for this, we built HiringCafe. It allows you to put your Sales job in front of job seekers who are passionate about your industry. We created a network that encompasses one million job seekers by partnering with niche job boards targeting specific industries, influencers who have large following on LinkedIn and other social media platforms, and media companies that care about your industry.

Additionally, the platform has built-in one way video screening capability which has become an essential feature for remote hiring.

I'd love your feedback and thoughts on what we're building.

Thanks!

The M1/M2 chips are just that good. My old 2015 Macbook turned into a toaster/jet engine if I only looked at it funny, macbooks between 2015 and 2020 were garbage, crappy keyboards, crappy USB ports and the thermal energy monsters that are Intel chipsets. It only really changed with the 2020 Apple silicon laptops, and they are just that good. A blazingly fast workhorse with outrageous battery runtime that rarely ever gets hot, and I think I heard the fan maybe once? since I bought it 3 years ago.

I'm sure there are great laptops out there, but at least in my company the other Dell or Lenovo (including Thinkpad) machines just don't stack up to that.

You should explicitly cancel the reseller accounts, because if you don't then it wouldn't lapse, despite it was explicitly set not to draw from the main account.

Their mobile app requires GApps to receive notifications, because Firebase. Ie no notifications on de-googled phones.

They would silently kill your account if their automated gearhead would think you are sending anything remotely resembling automated messages (that was a big ouch).

(too lazy to check if this is still a thing, with fronted mails they could had fixed it) You still can get an original mailbox name if you are sending from an identity of that mailbox.

Yes, they are rarely down, your support questions would be answered by a real humans (though not at your convienient time, so expect days to solve issues; probably should had added that into the list) but if you use it a bit more than a personal (or a business individual) account you are on the shallow grounds.

> Boggles the mind why people still fall for the iPad Pro as a serious work machine beyond writing meme.

The form factor is incredible.

I did this a few years ago, used iPad+vps for personal work. As a backend developer mostly, it was not hard.

Then had to switch back as I got into gamedev but miss the form factor of iPad so much. For some reason, it seemed to inspire me at odd hours and places to code.

Now I am back in market for a new machine. Debating hard to give up projects that cannot be done easily on iPad. So that I can get iPad and VPS again. It sounds crazy to limit your curiosity but it’s just incredible machine.

My experience with Linux on on a SP wasn't great. The basic PC functionality is fine, but getting the pen and touch working required a custom kernel and a fair amount of effort. The input latency on the pen, combined with no good writing apps on Linux killed it for me.

Yes, paying premium to use 3PA would have gone over more smoothly yet if you consider how touchy and prone to aggressive posturing a large number of their mostly male userbase is the vocal minority would still have made significant noise about how unfair it is to 'pay-to-play'.

Any sort of significant change to Reddit by any CEO, whether it be Huffman or Santa Claus, was going to illicit a significant toxic response.

What has put me off Reddit more than anything is the level of uncalled vitriol and mean spirited comments by not only the users but the temper tantrums and petulant behaviour by a number of the mods. And when push came to shove most of these mods crumbled like my grandmother's hip after her fall down the stairs.
Exactly, this was what I was trying to say. Being sustainable can be enough, it doesn’t have to be the next Meta.

I disagree. It overprocesses a lot and it's the worst on people's faces (very unnatural colors).

Other phone makers do that as well with various trade-offs. Samsung is better for portraits, but struggles in other places.

The reply was a bit harsh, but let's not act like the real estate industry isn't riddled with skeezy practices.

1) Home inspections that aren't really "inspections" and are just there to grease the skids
2) Buyer's agents don't have a fiduciary duty to protect the buyers.
3) Pricing "knowledge" that is typically public info, just locked behind access restrictions
4) predatory lending practices

It's a very incestuous market where the agents are friends with mortgage loan officers at banks, handymen, inspectors, and law offices that handle closing.

The fact that it costs somewhere between 10-15% of the value of a home to actually transfer ownership is highway robbery.
Ok, so Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton or Max Tegmark aren't able to comprehend or speculate about this? Seems surprising.

Edit: I'm not pandering to authority, I just believe the people I've quoted are actually very smart people who can reason very well and they have a valid opinion on the topic. They also have little financial interest in the success, failure or regulation of AI, which is important.
Sounds like you’d love deflation
"Worth saying out loud that many reasons why this stuff is slow is not due to bad code, its due to the fact that many of the best algorithms are in higher complexity classes and just scale poorly with program/translation unit size"

Yes, this is totally true.

It's also possible to affect this in theory but hard in practice.
Usually you shoot for making it O(N^2) (or whatever) where N is the number of variables you want to try to optimize instead of N being number of blocks.

The complete GVN and GVN-PRE in LLVM is theoretically N^3 or N^4, but as engineered it's often much faster (while getting more optimization) or at least not more than a few percent slower than the the existing O(N^2) GVN. It achieves this by being sparser in most cases. The old GVN has to iterate the algorithm, and iterates non-sparsely. Everything is reprocessed because it doesn't know what can change. The new one iterates only the things that could change using fine grained dependency tracking (something akin to how sparse constant prop works). This is often the best you can do.

I will say it's possible to affect these time bounds in theory because if you go down the single static rabbit hole, you realize it's more generally applicable. Kenny (and others) proved this in his thesis about sparse dataflow. That was the whole point. SSA is just one example of a form that enables things to be linear time (and in fact, you can do it without SSA at all using interval methods and such). There are papers that show this about other SS* forms and show examples, but they were mostly (sadly) ignored.

Concretely, for most optimizations like PRE/etc, there are linear time single static transforms of the IR that will make the optimization linear time (Or at least remove a factor of N for you) by explicitly exposing the dataflow in a way that matches what the optimization algorithm wants.

This is awesome in theory - like really cool when you think about it (if you are a compiler nerd), but also completely impractical (at least, AFAIK). Rewriting the IR form for each optimization to the exact requirements of the optimization (single static use, single static exposed uses, single static upwards exposed uses, single static exposed defs, etc) is much more expensive in practice than well engineered, higher complexity, "N in the number of variables" optimizations.

Equality saturation stands more of a chance, IMHO.

Absent the stock sale, how long would it have taken you to afford an iPod with only surplus funds? (i.e. saving $166 euros more, sacrificing nothing else)

Maybe it was a good investment! Music is pretty nice, and the iPod was great.
This is a short version of a much longer piece: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.16200

Language models don't understand anything, they just manipulate tokens. It is a much harder task to write a spec (that humans and courts can review if needed to determine is not infringement) and (with a separately trained tool) implement the spec. The tech just isn't ready and it's not clear that language models will ever get there.

What language models could do easily is to obfuscate better so the license violation is harder to prove. That's behavior laundering -- no amount of human obfuscation (e.g., synonym substitution, renaming variables, swapping out control structures) can turn a plagiarized work into one that isn't. If we (via regulators and courts) let the Altmans of the world pull their stunt, they're going to end up with a government-protected monopoly on plagiarism-laundering.

We're currently going through plastics being banned for snack foods where I live, and even vendors that were using "cardboard" boxes are hit because they are actually cardboard boxes lined with plastic (because cardboard + oil don't work together very well).

Wax gets soft when heated, so I'd be really surprised if the cardboard you're talking about is actually using "wax".
Exactly. I keep reading articles about how home prices are "falling" or "plummeting". Yeah right. They are more expensive than ever, especially when you factor in interest rates.

Home prices need to collapse in order for the middle class to be able to afford them.

The 2021 ad for our current rental had 1 interior picture. It was an old crayon drawing on wrinkled paper. The listing got 50 applications in the 2 hours it was up.

In that market, an ad that said nothing but 'Rental Available' would have been flooded with applications - every day.

It's less awful now. Many people have transitioned to homelessness and the rental market has eased up a little bit.
