This is cool. I'm curious about this part:

We leverage this to map all the unstructured job postings into the same unified structure. The new GPT functions feature and the extended context windows are really helpful for this.

Does this mean that, rather than using the gpt-3.5-turbo chat API, and using a system prompt that describes the output format you want (JSON?), you instead describe your output format in the same way you would if you were going to call a function?

IMHO, Window XP and Windows 7 were peak Windows reliability. It's been downhill from there.

And I don't think their definition of "wasted time" is just "borked computers," they also seem to include things like slowness and bad UX.

the point is not the thin edge case of bankruptcy vs merger, the point is that the fat part of the market would have been better off if Instagram was competing with Facebook, not part of Facebook, if video streaming services competed for eyeballs instead of being consolidated under Google who already controls eyeballs, etc.

little fish companies will be less likely to go out of business, and the economy will be more agile when they do if we stop allowing these big fat catfish to swallow everything in their pond.
Have you ever lived there?

Children are ranked by intelligence at a very young age, making it so underprivileged kids are told “you’re not going to make it” at a young age and relegated to a “lower” class. London street drug sales are thus dominated by disillusioned teenagers. Entire cities lost their way of life when Thatcher ended their industries and became dead ends where heavy drug addiction is quite rampant. The population is parted into two (as is common in “post-industrial” societies) the folks who take the now exorbitant loans for education and “make it”, and those that don’t and get relegated to receiving a living wage for the rest of their lives. There is an almost palpable feeling of haves and have-nots, around housing and increasingly everything else.

Yes there is some social contract in place but the post-industrial society is not a gentle one that I’ve witnessed. I’ve seen 2/3 (south of Brazil, north of Portugal and industrial England/Scotland). They don’t really compare well to successful industrial countries like Germany.

It's very telling if the level of testing is "can it do something few people in the field can?".
You're thinking of the C abstract machine, not a virtual machine. Abstract art is when this is a painted blue circle but it's about the feeling of sadness when losing somebody close to you - virtual art is when somebody persuades you a crappy GIF of a monkey is worth a million dollars.

And no, it's just not usefully true to model things this way. The C abstract machine is pretty weird even compared to a PDP-11, and your modern computer is nothing like a PDP-11.

C was intended to be efficiently implementable, so that's nice, but it has numerous defects in practice in this regard, because it pre-dates a lot of discoveries about how to implement programming languages.

The machine doesn't have types. At all. They're just not a thing. C has types. They're not very good types, and they're poorly implemented, but they are definitely types. Several other languages from that era don't bother, C does because it's a "high level language" and you'll do better embracing that understanding than trying to pretend it's assembler.

When I tell people that, sorry, I don't have WhatsApp, they either look at me like I have a screw loose, or offer to help me install it (I am a middle-aged lady, so technical incompetence must be my excuse). I'd love to see the reaction to pulling out an old-school flip-phone, or providing an obvious land-line number!

That and my avoidance of Facebook didn't really matter until I had a kid and he started nursery school. I somehow got myself elected head of the Parents' Council, but it's been tough dealing with the mental block the slightly-younger generation has for email, and Signal is apparently a little too out there for non-techy 20/30-somethings of either gender.

I'm not as privacy-conscious as you, as I have a fairly recent iPhone; I'd probably be better described as social-media-skeptical, but your right to live a normal life without a smartphone is tied to my right to live a normal life without intrusive social media.
Let me offer a counter to DH:

*Bias: My own biases are based on my biological understanding of how the neurobiology works after I got my ADHD under control through nootropics.

1. Neurons are not computer electronic circuits. Note, even DH covers this in his own misgivings of how AI is viewed.
2. Our Id is not an electronic computation thing as our own brain is a biological emotional chemical wave machine of Id.

Think of this way the math of micro quantum and macro quantum is vastly different. Same for AI in that the math of micro circuits of AI will be vastly different than the macro AI circuits that will come up with any AI Id thing. We are just not there as of yet as it's like saying the software that makes the international telecom
system keep up and run has it's own emergent Id....it clearly does not even though there are in fact emergent things about that system of subsystems.

Yeah, but not many companies are like MS and let one or two cash cows carry all the other ambitions, many companies prefer each unit be profitable. OpenShift might be printing money, but clearly the RHEL division isn't.
I don’t think you guys are tackling this right. You can observe the stick breaking to absurd precision, even using an electron tunneling microscope, and produce immense amounts of data about the sticks state at every point in the breaking and afterwards faster than a computer can simulate breaking the stick. The key is the stick breaking and it’s observation at any level of detail happens in parallel with all aspects of the system coherently acting in real time simultaneously in a way with perfect effects and transmission of information between all quantum parts of the system at the speed of light. The computer on the other hand is operating in a binary encoding Turing machine forced to rely on imperfect relatively serial (compared to the parallelism of reality) with encodings that and algorithmic mathematical models that produce encodings that are similar to what reality produces naturally. The issue is the layers of abstraction, nor the measurement and detail of the system. All the measurable information about the stick and it’s breaking is available and measurable with no impact on the time it takes to break the stick.

Here’s perhaps a more clear example. The universe influences itself at a distance with all bodies acting on all other bodies at once. This is a classical nbody problem where n->inf. We can measure quite easily these effects without perturbing the system, which would not be able to progress a single iteration in the entire span of the universe if simulated by a computer.
Out of curiosity, what makes the aliased version less compact? Naively I'd think there's not much room to optimize the representation of a byte array.
On the other hand you don't judge a doctor on his ability to dissect a surprise frog.

Edit: could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait generally? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Throwing out the hot take (for HN) that computer intuition is about to be a much stronger destabilizing force than spreadsheets were. And that’s really where change comes from, IMO - the status quo showing cracks
From the article:

const result = comptime square("hello"); // compile time error: type mismatch

ok, cool. But if the error occurs deep in some hierarchy of comptime calls, do you get the same kind of long errors that you do with C++ templates? Does zig have a way of achieving better ergonomics? One nice thing about generics in Rust and Swift is they are constrained by traits/interfaces so you get a concise error at the call site.
The preprocessor doesn’t know that u32 defined in foo.h is the same type as u32 defined in bar.h. So you’ll get an error when importing both.
Then you have a wildly different bar than the vast majority of the people in any agi conversation and should state this upfront.

Have you been observing what is happening with climate change. Chances are much worse than 10% and pretty much every country in the world is finding reasons why they should not act.
Yeah I feel the same way about Reddit. Most of the comments are not helpful, many are straight up incorrect, and I don't get the "Google is a Reddit search engine" meme at all.

There are some niches that consolidate useful info there, like fandoms or weird topics/frameworks that are discussed nowhere else, but sadly that is largely moving to Discord.

Having spent a lot of time porting 32bit system code to 64bit, I developed a dislike for these explicit types. It's a slippery slope to hard code your bitness with people making assumptions where size_t or pointers fit.

Now maybe if you're already 64bit that's fine (it's unlikely that we'll ever need 128bit, and code is unlikely to grow down), but for anything starting smaller it's a pain.
I’m mostly imputing ideological motives to what ERCOT’s become and how that’s led them to fail at operating a robust, reliable grid, and highlighting some of the perverse incentives specific to Texas’s electrical market. I’m also complaining about our legislature’s resistance to, and efforts to actively stymie, the incredible bounty of renewable energy resources this state possesses. Fortunately the profit potential is strong enough that the invisible hand is continuing to do its job, but my god, this state is the Saudi Arabia of wind and to a lesser degree solar. As well as being a Saudi Arabia of, well, oil and gas! Why not embrace all of the above??

I personally enjoy the Western standard of living, and that, today and for the foreseeable future, is absolutely predicated on fossil fuels being a substantial part of the energy mix. I also try not to be a hypocrite so I actually consider myself pro-fossil fuel when used efficiently and appropriately. As such, I favor just about all types of electrical generation, except for coal and oil fired plants (and possibly biomass - I don’t know the technical details well enough, but my vague understanding is that’s basically regulatory arbitrage that does more harm than good). At least fortunately oil-fired plants are vanishingly rare these days.

SEEKING WORK | US / Philadelphia and NYC

Remote: Yes

Relocation: No

Technologies: GCP | AWS (DynamoDB, CloudFormation, Lambda) | Swift | SwiftUI | Node | Javascript | Typescript | React Native | Expo | React | Serverless | Objective C

Core: AWS | Swift | Node | React

I'm a full stack developer with extensive experience launching tech products (as cofounder, founding engineer, or in a consulting capacity). My ideal tech stack is AWS/Node and native iOS, but I've built GCP + React Native products as well -- I'm product focused and motivated to build.

I'm just getting off a project in NYC (hybrid) where I was the first hire for a delivery logistics startup, building multiple iOS apps and an AWS-based backend. We scaled to 20 employees (where I took a tech leadership role) and processed more than $60M in sales across multiple cities.

We can start building right away. I've usually started as a cofounder or 'freelancer' on contract, and moved to a more permanent role as the company raised and started the hiring process. I'm flexible.

I have over 10 YOE and can help architect and build your entire technology stack.

But wouldnt it be better to focus the "attention to detail" on the details - and let the AI handle the fluff explainations for such - example would be to restrict the model to only research certain aspects of the prompt's intent...

So get a listing of languages, companies, technologies, industries, resources, supply chains - that can be directly tied to the evolution of computing - and let it web them together?
It's a special case. We need to wait and see if it stays that way. If it does, we'll either figure something out or ban the site, but for now I'm hoping the problem will just go away.

Ask HN: Why doesn't any US bank use TOTP MFA?
In my experience and in talking with friends, we don't know of a single US bank that uses standard TOTP for their two-factor authentication.

The only 2FA options seem to be SMS, email, or upon occasion proprietary 2FA built into their mobile app (Or Symantec VIP, in the case of USAA).

One argument I've seen is that banks have to balance availability and security to their customers and lots of people wouldn't know how to secure their 2FA codes or backup codes. Fine. Why not have it as an option for those of us competent enough to use the technology? It is more convenient and at least as secure as email 2FA, and better than SMS.

First, it's not an argument, it's an observation, as there's no argument the be had. Why? Because...

Second, the observation is that you can literally characterize every online discussion forum that way. It's a pointless comment that borders on tautology. Put people in a space together to share their thoughts, and some of them will end up behaving badly.

Third, it was an observation of the silliness and, frankly, hypocrisy of simultaneously complaining about the behaviour of shouting baseless opinions on discussion forums by shouting a baseless opinion on a discussion forum.

I've come across your platform before while trying to find a suitable place to host a backend for a project I'd built a while back as a team project (written in Rust, using Postgres as the database, you can check it out at https://github.com/vaidhya-web/backend)

By any chance, would you be open to a remote internship? I already have prior knowledge of Rust and am currently a GSoC contributor this year, also in a Rust project.
I wonder if the refusal to list a business could be considered tortuous interference now, as it has effectively become a negative false statement: "There's no bakery here".
Keeping the commit as the unit of change allows you to orchestrate with a single PR. The commit is the change, the PR is the go button.

> In the rare case you have 3 steps in that PR of 23 commits

I'd have 3 commits in this case.

It's not rare at all when you have code, charts, terrform, and scripts housed in a single repo. But even if you're just touching code some changes make sense to go out at the same time.

Personally, I feel that the use case for squash is when there are many WIP commits. Those could be avoided with the use of --amend, or --fixup, or cherry picking without a commit, etc.
That sounds like a bad 8th grader's essay, just pure bullcrap. These ideas would get an F in any English 101 course.

I'm not saying that this is bad, just not so efficient.
The more recent 4 bit quantizations are almost along these lines. Q4_1 in ggml for example takes a block of 32 weights and gives each block a scaling factor 'd' and takes the minimum of the weights 'm' to be the quantized '0', so the final weights from a quantized weight 'q' is q * d + m, and taking a relatively small block size makes it more likely that those are all within a reasonable quantization range. Notably, d and m can be stored with more accuracy without sacrificing too much space, since the overhead is divided by 32. Q4_k goes a bit further, and takes 'superblocks' of 8 blocks, and applies another scaling factor 'd_s' and minimum 'm_s' to that, so the final weight is (q * d + m) * d_s + m_s, and the additional factors are stored as 6 bits instead of 4.

In practice this seems to get very good results, while being cheap to implement and relatively space efficient, Q4_K for example works out to 4.5 bits per weight instead of 4. The PR adding it has more details: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1684
A good api (like std.debug.print for example) can implement nice compile errors that fail early with readable messages manually at comptime. Still not as convenient as traits though
