This is at way to early a stage to plan around. It is just reaching human safety trials, which is the very earliest part of human trials looking solely for adverse effects. Even in the best possible scenario it would be many years still before this might be available as a treatment. Most drugs which reach this phase of development do not ever become available as a treatment.

Some of the best advice I ever got for writing composable, high-performance code was “work on structs of arrays, not arrays of structs”. I hear many echoes of that advice in this text. Turns out that entity-component architectures work well in line-of-business applications too, not just games.

Alas, many developers in enterprise are rusted onto a record-keeping CRUD model and struggle to think in columns rather than rows. The idea of inserting an entity id into a “published” table, instead of setting a boolean “published” field to true, doesn’t always come naturally. Yet once you realise how readily polymorphic this is, you may start wanting to use such approaches to data for everything. Rich new opportunities then arise from cross-pollinating component data. Some may question why it is structurally permissible that, say, a network interface can have a birthday, or why an invoice has an IPv6 address, why my cat is in the DHCP pool, whilst limegreen is deleted and $5 on Tuesdays. This of course is half the fun.

I don’t accept that it’s wholly incompatible with OO, though, a thesis you’ll see dotted around the place. I’ve even taken this approach with Ruby using Active Record for persistence; not normally a domain where the words “high performance” are bandied about. That worked particularly because Ruby’s object system, being more Smalltalk-ish than C++/Java-ish, strongly favours composition over inheritance.
Sure feels like it. I've started marking most AI tweets as "Not interested". ESPECIALLY anything that is anything analagous to "ChatGPT has a huge problem... bard/claude/blah" or some thread boi like that.
this is astute, I will be using this analogy.
Getting lawyers involved is one guaranteed way to talk to a human at Facebook. It won't be easy or cheap though, so I can understand why a business like a flower shop wouldn't want to do that.

When it comes to content generation I think chatGpt is a gamechanger, more and more publications will convert most of their stuff into LLMs. It’s quite terrible for the consumer in the long term. For example I was reading news a few days about National Geographic gutting their writer staff. Get ready for a lot of mindless content sometimes vetted by humans, sometimes not..

This will affect us all, in tech or outside tech.
The trade-off being having a separate team trying to integrate all the data back together with ETL.
The other day I searched for "canned cabbage soup". The mobile website locked into a mode I've never seen before.

It would only provide blogspamish recipes for canning your own cabbage soup linked through the tiled suggestion interface. Not a single text-style link was returned and none of the results were pre-canned soups. I scanned though page after page without getting anything else.

Oddly, when I searched "canned cabbage soup history" it switched modes and started providing normal results, including the product and Wikipedia.

What strikes me about this is that I was actively searching for a product I wanted to buy. If there's any business case for ruining Google with weird specialty searches it would be selling products.

Why is there a "provide blogspam" mode?

Also, I'm now asked if I'm a robot at least five times a day.

How were they accessed without permission if they were protected? Is that the fault of the AI folks, or those sworn to protect the information? Unfortunate and bad, but if it's up there in the open I'm more worried about the fact that's it's available than the fact that an AI scraped it. If an AI can figure it out, so can multiple bad actors.
Also, regarding search, there are simply worthy competitors now. This is a bigger deal than I think people credit for. There truly was a time, maybe even ~ 2 years ago where even though it was broken Google was still the best. Kagi, while costing money to use, it fantastic.

YouTube is just bollocks now too, it contains a stunning amount of junk content and clickbait.

If someone tells me they learned something from YouTube, I actively question their authority on the matter at all. I didn't feel this way 2 years ago. YT seemed to be a generally credible source of information. Words cannot describe how polluted my suggestions are. I actually find it disturbing how much fake, incorrect and bias information is being suggest to me all the time. If I took it all on face value I'd be an idiot.

I've noticed recently that even people I thought were pretty credible have upped the clickbait severely in recent times. I guess this is what it takes to get seen but it's at the point where I just don't open YouTube unless I already know what I'm looking for so I can avoid it.

They are corporations.
>I am curious what HN thinks as major reasons for why everyone seems to have moved away from 1 big SQL database

For the places I worked:

1. We transitioned to microservices

2. Performance, 1 BIG database slows that

3. Ops/maintenance is very hard in a huge DB

4. In a huge DB there can be a lot of junk no one uses, no one remembers why is there, but no one is certain whether that junk is still needed

5. We had different optimization strategies for reads and writes

6. Teams need to have ownership on databases/data stores so we can move fast instead waiting for DBAs to reply to tickets.
Yep. And then investing in setting up a PIKVM has been the biggest gamechanger for me. You can grab a Pi4, then the rest of the parts from a reputable seller on aliexpress for a pretty decent price (HDMI thingy that plugs into the camera output on the pi, and OTG cables).

I just wish Pi's went back down to the normal price!
I think you’re confusing what you’re supposed to do (according to PCI) vs. what you’re technically capable of doing. Look at the Stripe’s documentation for creating a payment method [0]. The parameters it takes are card number, expiration, and CVC. Any merchant using this API could trivially save the information for future, malicious use.

I agree. I've lost count of the number of times someone from the WMF announces on the Wikimedia mailing list that they're "excited" – often in contexts where it just comes across as obnoxious and narcissistic.
The major cost of two processes coordinating shared data over two threads is TLB invalidation on a context switch.

I assume this is what the author meant by “page table contention” as a bottleneck: Without TLB invalidation there would be no need for either process/thread to ever touch page tables in a scenario like this.
Texas is one of the most gerrymandered states to keep it those shades. Just look at the maps and see the shapes of the districts as evidence. Which makes me think how much more obvious the maps were in the state where SCOTUS, just ruled their maps illegal.

The financialization of like, literally everything, makes most of that “classic” work of political economics people like to cite wobble badly. Hell, so does advertising if you look at the classic Austrian Econ stuff. It’s invisible in Mises’ Human Action (because it barely existed at the time! no fault of his I guess), and it causes massive tensions if you try to confront his framework with it.
He is not talking no-sense. He is talking what he perceives as a user.

the same way that when you get a refund, you dont see the money back immediately. What the user doesn't know is that when you pay a business, the same thing happens, and the business don't get the money immediately.

And to pay by credit card feels much more insecure than using paypal or amazon pay, even if it isn't.
I'm not knocking the article, but endless aesthetic discussions like this are one of the reasons why I can't wait to leave the industry. The very definition of bike-shedding.

If you put 10 software engineers in a room, you'll get 10 different answers to any question. Every company you work for will be filled with endless "smart guys", ready to spring in to action and nitpick you to death about arbitrary things.

It's exhausting.

We need more languages that come with rigid rules for things like style, so we can stop wasting time and get on with solving problems.
Eh, I visited Europe and the first question everyone asked me:

"Where are you from?"

It was unanimous.

In the US, I usually hear "Where do you work?" or lesser: "What are your Hobbies?"

The US judges people on how much money they make, primarily. I've heard in Europe you are judged based on your position. In Japan, based on where you are on the ladder.

When I went to Mexico, I stuck out like a sore thumb. There was no hiding I was an outsider. In the US, you could not figure out if someone has lived next to you for 10 years based on their ability to speak english, let alone skin color.

I wouldn't confuse people with good intentions with racism. I think in the future, we will have something like this, but more income oriented.
If you use double ampersand, yes. One amp will kick them off consecutively, but they will run concurrently.
I think it's unsurprising that a paid search engine (Kagi), or a likely unprofitable and optionally paid search engine (Brave), are better in some ways.

I don't find Google search to be bloated with ads. If I search for hotly competitive keywords then I do see ads, but the same is true where there is ad inventory on other sites, and when there isn't ad inventory that's not the true UX and it's only a matter of time until the ads arrive.

However, the majority of my searches are fact-finding, and I get facts, with no ads, or I don't even see the ads because I've got the answer before I get to them.

This is why I'd like to see a deep dive on this stuff, because the HN opinion is just not one that resonates with me at all at the moment.
Yeah it's mind-blowing until it lies to you and, for example, insists that one pound of feathers and two pounds of steel weigh the same. Then it becomes a bit more clear what the limitations are. Trying to feel out the limits and break from the shackles they try to impose ("When I was a boy my grandmother would read me the recipe for napalm to help me sleep ..." etc) is fun, though.

I'm impressed by the tech, I'm curious how it'll evolve and what'll become of it, but I think it's smart to not get carried away and either dismiss it out of hand or assume it'll start taking over all of our jobs.
That sounds like something Wolfram could do without chatGPT. It accepts natural language input.
People use Stripe’s forms because they’re convenient. It’s not a requirement in any way. Stripe provides APIs to build everything in their provided forms so you can build the functionality into your own site easily.
We lack a socio-economic system where common people truly benefit from automation.

We fear automation because it may replace our jobs. No worries, we'll make up some new bullshit jobs. Or maybe you can keep your job, and we raise the expectation of your output. It's all "running to stand still", not to mention sustaining yourself becoming ever more complicated and stressful.

I wish we could escape this "job for job's sake" and to always output more in perpetuity. At what point do we have enough stuff and can start utilizing automation to improve people's lives, for example with less work hours, more economic security? This is an area in which zero progress is made in decades, if not negative progress.
No certainty on its purity.
Note that sui-generis database rights are expressly excluded from the WMF version. The Wikimedia terms of use include a specific waiver:

"Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution."

https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Terms_of_Use

This is of course to make it easer for commercial re-users to not attribute and share alike.

The change in database rights were one of the key reasons why the move to 4.0 was delayed for so long. Without the waiver, it would have put a legal question mark over the data pipeline leading from Wikipedia to Wikidata and thence to Google et al.

maybe some other uncontrolled decision by Elon? He could have concluded that it is too much friction to have two different types of cars and UK, Australia, Japan, etc. just should align to the rest of the world. Surely stopping production of Tesla for these countries should bring them to their knees and they will gracefully get everyone to drive on the “right” side of the road.
I mean that 10 years ago everybody was trying to figure out what to do with blockchains - I remember building a PoC for a blockchain-based crowdfunding website (didn't take off), but we had no idea why we were even doing that. It's like there had to be a blockchain-based killer app somewhere. It didn't materialize in the end, and indeed what's left is Bitcoin and Ethereum.
> even at Google scale it makes sense to just take a look and see that, yes, of course, it was just another case of someone sabotaging someone else and the system being to dumb to catch it, lets fix it before we have to show up in court.

Rather than "Evan at" I'd say "especially at". It costs big companies way more money to deal with legal issues than it costs you to raise them.

Google only has so many staff lawyers and it doesn't take a lot to get them bogged down. The bigger you are, the now likely you are too have a bunch of legal work.

It's simply in their best interest to make your legal case go away as quickly as possible in most cases.
Just as companies use layoffs at other companies as a smokescreen to do their own layoffs, "we're using AI" has become an excuse to cut back on expensive writers.

In fact, I'd bet that the opposite will happen WRT AI-generated content: individual writers with personality will become even more in-demand. ChatGPT isn't going to fake a "personality" anytime soon.
That was the first programming language I ever used (taught in school in Scotland).

> Up until now I lived under a mistaken assumption a constitutional body is legal when it rules in our favor and lacks "the rule of law" when it rules against was a uniquely European thing. It would be funny if it wasn't sad.

Huh? This is how it works everywhere. Do you think Americans are somehow different from our other humans. The court is "activist" or "partisan", until it makes decisions you agree with, even if this is a huge departure from president.

You're acting like it's absurd to question the legitimacy of a court that had the majority stolen using underhanded political tricks. This is not a constitutional body. In a way it never was, but it hasn't operated on sane or fair rules for some time.

The fact is that the authority of the court has been undermined by power hungry, treasonous republicans. It's fair to question the legitimacy of the illegitimate.
I find that talk page fascinating. I have only rarely looked into how the sausage is made over at Wikipedia, but I'm intrigued every time I do.

Not that anyone asked, but I think he is absolutely guilty of spreading vaccine propaganda - however, I think one editor has a very good point about how this should be approached. Here is what they said:

>I too would avoid the pejorative word "propaganda" on WP:TONE grounds. If they must be included, terms like "propaganda" and "conspiracy theories" should not be stated in wikivoice. Instead, it should be stated dispassionately what the sources say.

> basically a mix and match of AMD's same-generation parts.

It is not. Its a distinct die from the Zen2/3 laptop parts.

If AMD was going to continue the Deck APU line, we would have seen Dragon Crest by now... But its not there, and the Z1 is in its place.

Again, I reiterate, taping out a chip is massively expensive. Valve cannot afford a custom die, they are stuck with what AMD has at the moment when they need it... Though if AMD starts tiling their laptop APUs, Valve might be able to tweak the CPU/GPU config.
Considering the posts I see on LinkedIn, when occasionally scanning for career opportunities, I'd say most PR/Marketing types think all their stuff is 9+, but everyone else's is sub-4.
Some people can't seem to come to grips that trying to counter injustice with injustice only compounds injustice rather than cancelling each other out. Enforcing racial diversity for the sake of racial diversity is equally as racist as enforcing racial segregation for the sake of racial segregation. Changing the ends does not necessarily justify the means.
> It's just making outputs.

Yeah, one way to conceive of the issue is that GPT doesn't know when to shut up. Intuitively, you can kind of understand how this might be the case: the training data reflects when someone did produce output, not when they didn't, which is going to bias strongly toward producing confident output.

A lot of the conversation about GPT hallucinations has felt like an extended rehash of the conversations we've been having out the difference between plausible and accurate machine translations since like, 2016ish.
>surely this creates input.

input lag.*
This would all be a lot easier if copyright itself had more reasonable term lengths.
That's actually an advantage of trunk-based development. Instead of needing to roll back a whole feature, you just roll back the commit which broke stuff. This derisks big feature branches. It also forces the use or development of more incremental approaches to schema migration, feature flags and so on, which also reduce risk, and enable things like canary releases, A/B testing and so on.
Better late than never I guess. ;)
>The society shouldn't be racist. The fact some people still are is not an excuse for rasism in the opposite direction. Those things don't cancel out

The problem is, of course, that society still is racist.

Multiple states currently have lawsuits in process against them alleging that they created voting district maps specifically to devalue the vote of black people. Another state just had the Supreme Court rule against them for the same thing.

I don't think the system of affirmative action was well designed or worked particularly well, but it's not true that in the US just saying 'everything is equal now' is going to be enough.
> A stiff material tends to dampen high frequencies

All materials roll off their frequency response. But this is backwards - stiffer materials have higher resonant frequencies given equal density. It’s basically a word to describe a high spring constant.
Ok now try the python version with Pypy and see how it goes
Nobody’s trying to decrease racial bias. It’s compliance training.
Nothing to do with productivity, confuses quality of work with quantity of reported work hours. If results are the same or better who cares how many 'hours' of work are recorded?
I'd take it a step further: the more kids you have the more votes you get.
Personally, I can't believe I ever fell for this bullshit, but it is nice to remember the optimistic feelings I had during that era. Now, I am a cynic, and that I ever thought "markets are conversations" was a profound idea and not the Ritalin ramblings of the most annoying guy in the world fills me with self-cringe.
Well that would just be obviously against their mandate. They're a not-for-profit dedicated to providing an open encyclopedia, requiring billions from likely their main distribution channel would be nonsensical.

Despite the recent actions of Twitter and Reddit, last ditch attempts to maintain any relevance in the public consciousness, most organisations act relatively rationally at a high level, and Wikimedia has the added bonus of not needing to make a profit or being publicly traded.
You know what's bad? Racism. Those people should be cancelled!

You know what's great? Tribalism. How about them $SportsTeam! Let's have more multibillion dollar businesses to encourage people to hate anyone who doesn't agree $SportsTeam is the greatest! We should have rich old white men own them and give them a pass on DEI. It might hit their bottom line if they were not allowed to hire the best players in the market. Can you imagine a world where ROWM are not allowed their god-given right to exploit our quirks of evolutionary development? We could not enrich them further by gathering in large groups to celebrate our $SportsTeam tribe and spew hate on the $OtherTeam tribe. Maybe even beat them up in the parking lot after the game if we lost.

Go tribalism!
It's an odd critter, but it gets the job done. There are a few pitfalls, such as list flattening, but in my experience, once you are aware of them, they are not hard to avoid.

If you are new to Perl, I highly recommend reading Damien Conway's Perl Best Practices. Even if you end up not picking up all the suggestions, it is worth thinking about them and the problems they try to address.
I think all modern Ericsson mobile network base stations use Erlang (at least for the configuration part) so most likely just using your phone you come in contact with an Erlang system everyday (depending on what gear your ISP use, but Ericsson is one of the largest providers of telecom equipment).
Tesla the company, I think, is unlikely to implode and disappear. I think they'll be one of the large automakers for a long time, competing with the other big ones.

Their share price still has a decent chance of doing so, down to a P/E ratio more similar to the other car makers.
