You're missing the point. The writing is not what's being critiqued here. If we were grading this purely from a prosaic perspective, GPT would easily fly under the radar. The issue is the substance of the generated content - devoid of even the most minimal novelty.
I think they're arguing that you get a performance gain. Personally the systems if deal with wouldn't gain from such and optimisation as there is too little data. So I'll stick to the simplest approach.
I may be wrong, but as I recall it is good form to chain exception filter calls by making note of the return from `SetUnhandledExceptionFilter`. For example, if I want to use `<stacktrace>` and do copy-on-write using memory protection in the same program.

This is the sort of thing the folks behind ArchiveTeam.org live for. I’ve not looked at their site in awhile because it’s heartbreaking what they didn’t get the chance to archive, but they’ve managed to rescue an awful lot, and provide the means for even not-very technical people to help out.
AlphaZero invented new moves in the game of Go, but it can't 'teach' them to us, it can only show us the moves and let us figure it out for ourselves (which we're doing). But note that despite this transfer of knowledge, humans didn't rise up to the level of AlphaZero, and they may never be able to. As a sibling comment points out, some things are computationally bound--and humans have a limit to computational ability (can't give ourselves more neurons/connections), whereas AI does not.
This feels a bit like user blaming. Imagine someone getting to the office and getting annoyed at you because they changed their name, didn’t tell you, and you used the wrong name. You could have looked them up in the corporate directory, but you don’t know what their new name is and their previous name is no longer listed.

Communication was poor, mobile OS’s should probably account for this (if for nothing else to prevent major functionality pivots / spam ware) etc. parents displeasure and me losing all my mfa tokes feels like a total rug pull by google, a pattern they are known for (sure, fool me twice, shame on me - but I never expected their mfa Token app to delete all my tokens).

13 years of experience in startup software development and DevOps across web apps, cloud, and Linux networking. Six years of leadership in teams of up to 7 people.

Looking for an engineering manager or senior IC position to mentor your team and make something people want.

Here are a sample of things I've accomplished:

* I built a platform for hosting web applications using Kubernetes at a major cloud provider and taught engineers to operate and improve it. It uses Helm to manage the instances of the single-tenant app and includes a Python application to manage the customer instances based on configuration from the subscription management vendor.

* I trained and mentored a team of developers in software patterns, communication, and prioritizing work, and I reduced context switching in the team’s workflows, leading to a 72% increase in velocity in two months.

* I maintain for the community Apt package for Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, which is downloaded more than 200,000 times per month.

* I developed a CI/CD pipeline to build Docker images for a web app, run automated tests, and update the customer applications after every merge.

* I improved performance of a proprietary VPN by adopting Cython, permitting use of C functions in Python, resulting in a 2.5x increase in network throughput when limited by CPU

Quantum computing has been just as sexy a topic as stable fusion.

Those were/are goalposts. We've never actually /seen/ the goal though, and the posts are a collective hallucination. It IS a pretty nice hallucination though.

Since we as a species don't quite understand quantum interactions, it could be quite some time before we can build ordered and predictable systems out of those interactions.

It could take days/weeks/months/years/decades/millennium... who knows? The fun is in watching and playing.
In the Economist's own words: "a very rough comparison is possible" which they then turn into a speculative headline ("may") and a bold statement that the comparison is correct "taking nickel from rainforests destroys 30 times more..." after the article specifically states it is incomplete.

What a bunch of tools. We shouldn't be listening to management consultant speak when it comes to underwater ecosystems. Not a single scientist quoted in the article. Disclosures from the company taken as truth and "very transparent". To think I used to look to this magazine for journalism.

Again: the whole article is premised on "deforestation bad, destroying marine ecosystems okay or less bad" based on... what? The mining company's assessment? Absolute rubbish. How much was this writer paid by the company?

It was a transformative book for me when I first read it, but now when I leaf through it I feel a little underwhelmed; the ideas are just things I've thought about a million times now.
I always thought venn diagram was a good representation but I think I was wrong.

The latest official figure for Berlin is 3.6 million.
You mean the Berlin + Brandeburg metropolitan region, which is Berlin (city state) plus an area that’s at least as big as the metro area including the Berlin city suburbs expansions into Brandenburg.
With the resulting area, 6.2 million people still amount to a quite low density compared to many other cities. Paris would have been a better example.

It was communicated in the very first sentence of the instructions. It's just that both you and me failed to read the instructions. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

I came across this website while searching that. Not what i was looking for but pretty good for the kind of stuff i read.
Good.

I am affirmative action-curious, in that I do not necessarily have the knee-jerk "this shouldn't have ever been allowed" reaction that many on HN do. I think the case for affirmative action is stronger than many would allow. That said, I am willing to take the SCOTUS decision for what it is, because AA was an extremely unpopular policy with admittedly terrible echoes of past injustices built into it.

Legacy admissions, on the other hand, are pure trash, and I think absolutely everyone except the beneficiaries of those policies ought to agree on that. I truly can't think of a good argument in favor of them other than "universities like money."
Was apple silicon the thing that brought "caring about cross compilation" back from the dead in general? small-scale embedded use never really went away, but it was always a distinct niche...

Apple defines 218 DPI as Retina BTW.
It is a good book, have it in hard cover.

Feynman indirectly wrote quite a few graduate level texts such as The Theory of Fundamental Processes, Statistical Mechanics Lecture Notes and Photon-hadron Interactions which are compilations of lecture notes re-written in book form. There is also one on gravitation dating to the early 1960s.
back in the olden days we had a thing called a forum, they were much better
Sure, but I've seen enough prima donna middle managers who fed their ego by enforcing process to know the pragmatism of builders is less harmful.

I'll take a pragmatist who understands when 94% or 60% is good enough test coverage over the manager who demands 100%. I'm positive I know who has the bigger ego there.

Perhaps you're reading your own experience into this, but I pretty clearly set up a scenario, and yes, I do think there's a lot of ego in anyone demanding 100% coverage, especially if they aren't writing the code.
A lot of technologies are brought to a much bigger audience through an acquisition. PASemi for example wouldn’t have had nearly the impact they did if Apple had not acquired them and made them the foundation of Apple Silicon.
Before I checked the figure, I thought it was around 22,000 (from memory, the I:line is set up for 25,000 connections). However, as time has gone one we've been more aggressive about culling idle connections on the Matrix side (plus there seems to be less activity to bridge to on the IRC side), hence it being around 11K these days.

In terms of the bridge stability: there have obviously been stability problems over the last few months, but overall it's certainly been better than nothing. Agreed that the situation overall is really depressing.

Are you sure? That first graph is very oddly worded. It says investment in "energy transition" matched fossil fuel investment, not renewables, but that only half of "energy transition" investment was investment in supply. What exactly is investment in demand meant to mean? This doesn't seem to be comparing investment in energy sources at all.
I think you may have triggered some concern or misunderstanding. What do you mean by "pretend it's private"?

MacBooks and Linux on any reasonable device have both proven to be solid choices for me when it comes to supporting family members. Windows and Chromebooks both have sucked hard for various reasons. Chromebooks go obsolete. Linux is forever.
You may, but not me.

Though, I suspect you are like most people in that if you gaze into the unknown (which is what we are dealing with here), you will see what you want to see.

You see, the actual causality is unknowable, so your mind has generated a simulation of what "the" casualty is.

This is clearly obvious, is it not?

I’m not even remotely concerned about an AI bubble, in fact the faster it can inflate and pop the better. An AI hype winter would be as comfortable as a tropical vacation with the current tech that’s available. We could build and research in peace without endless media FUD and hit pieces.

It's a good thing it's in Norway, because Norway has already proven themselves capable of competently managing valuable natural resources, avoiding the resource curse. In most other countries, particularly developing or underdeveloped countries, such a windfall would probably cause long-term damage to their economy and political stability / freedom.

Gotta agree. My wife is not tech savvy, and most of my family isn't either. The amount of tech support I do has dropped since everyone went to the Apple platform. About the only thing I have to do is to tell everyone to hold off on major OS upgrades. macOS sure isn't a panacea. But wait about 2-3 months after a new major OS release version and it is a pretty smooth experience.
No. The US Supreme Court has ruled that a website cannot use TOS to prevent other companies from scraping publicly available data, even if they're doing so to directly harm the people who posted that data (citation below).

Basically, a company called HiQ was scraping public LinkedIn data to sell a service where they would inform companies if their employees were looking for a job on LinkedIn -- because LinkedIn will hide info from your employer for obvious reasons. LinkedIn sent cease-and-desist, then later sued by lost.

Good points. But do we have evidence GR is not a normal distribution. GP’s comment does apply to views of ratings, so we might have an impression if higher average rating because the books we look at are more often better than avg.
> Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I see the "old" core/access/distribution layers still relevant. The datacenter spine/spline setup applies to networking between server racks in the data center.

this is correct. The place where spine-leaf really shines is when used in combination with evpn-vxlan. You can then encapsulate every tenant network inside a VXLAN domain and route those between your leafs switches through your spine layer.

This is basically a clos fabric which is non-blocking, and is very easy to expand horizontally. It also gives you nice features like ARP suppression[0]. These features are important in a DC fabric because ARP flooding is traffic which is not revenue generating, and should be minimized as much as possible.

For normal Enterprise/Office network, running an evpn-vxlan fabric is usually far to complex for the benefits involved.

that would essentially ban the stock market, i think. Shares have value because if you accumulate enough of them you control the company, or can sell them to someone else who wants to control the company. If you prevent the buyer from using the company to benefit their interests then there won’t be any buyers. and poof, the entire startup finance appratus evaporates.
article puts goodreads problems on amazon. partially true but lazy journalism.

much goodreads leadership same as when amazon bought them. i know because i work close to them before i leave amazon.

tech was outdated ruby on rails. the engineering org has very low technical bar and love inventing things that amazon already solve at scale. more energy put into resisting amazon than thinking about innovation. lots and lots of waste.

i do wonder how amazon layoffs affected goodreads. i would clean house.
I am generally very cynical about most AI startups but I think there's tons of room in this space -- it's an obvious fit, can provide simple workflows to solve pain points for both providers (your customers) and patients. Your model also builds inroads towards tons of extensible real-world applications in the healthcare world.

Worth noting Ambience Healthcare (and probably many others) approaching this space from a slightly different angle, while you're making the pre-intake forms more useful, they're transcribing the doctor-patient conversations.

Overall I think both approaches are solid. Be careful though as there's an increase in dark patterns around intake forms in the past couple years, I've noticed some concerning privacy practices. As a patient, this centers around being handed an iPad to fill out which contains an agreement that gives away a lot of the privacy of your health data. I expect more patients to start complaining about this practice and for it to eventually be clamped down on by some federal authority.

News articles have noted these privacy concerns around Phreezia[0], BetterHealth, and GoodRx so far. I doubt your group is headed that direction though -- most of the companies / business units who do that have a very limited business model that stops at "gather health data and either resell the data or use it internally to target advertisements", whereas your business appears to be strongly focused on creating real value for doctors and patients.

> But then how does that jive with skin in the game

Simple. Nassim says there are 4 quadrants, one axis Mediocristan-Extremistan, the other Simple-Complex payoff.

Building a bridge is Mediocristan/Simple payoff, a well understood problem with no black swans. So it's easy to compute risk.

Other stuff is Extremistan/Complex payoff - financial trading, pandemics, AI. And he argues that you need RISK professionals for this quadrant, because people working here (traders, virologists, AI builders) do not understand how to compute the risk correctly.

Agree. Except for Indian movies. Their ratings aren’t trustworthy. Lots of 8+ movies they’re mediocre or bad (despite high production costs).
Hilarious to consider this article at the same time as the "against alcohol" is on the front page. If folks used as much drugs now as they clearly did at the start of the century, would we be having the same arguments there? (Leading assertion there is from how widespread opium and morphine were in some early writer's lives.)

For places where poppy seeds are basically a weed, is there a similar amount of widespread use?

A couple things:

This is admittedly a bit pedantic, but in E.F. Codd's original paper, he defined "relation" as the relation between a tuple (table row) and an attribute (table column) in a single table - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation_(database). I'm not sure of the author's intent, but the user table example (user, country_id ) might imply the relationship between the user table and the country table. It's a common misconception about what "relational" means, but tbh I'm fine with that since it makes more sense to the average developer.

If you ever need to join sets of data in code, don't use nested loops - O(n^2). Use a map / dictionary. It's one of the few things I picked up doing Leetcode problems that I've actually needed to apply irl.
MBP's 120hz display is a lifesaver for me.

Previously, I actually often felt motion sickness when scrolling through code on small 60hz laptop screens. Had no problems with larger (> 23") desktop screens, though.
60Hz is really noticeable when you’ve been using 120Hz even for a few minutes. 120Hz feels a lot less tiring and work in a terminal, editor and websites is just a lot smoother.
I’m wonder how much use such sites are outside a sort of glorified RSS feed.

Not that they can be replaced with RSS, but a lot of use seems nearly just that.

This shouldn't leave anyone with the impression they are cranks. Scott's claim in this lecture is he hasn't yet found making a counter argument "really nontrivial"

To wit, the article names Leonid Levin and Oded Goldreich as the primary skeptics.

Leonid has 10K citations, 2012 Knuth Prize, 37 h-index.

Oded has 63K citations, 2017 Knuth Prize, 95 h-index.

What Scott Aaronson considers "really nontrivial" is far beyond our comprehension, and he's making a claim about synthesizing an counterargument, not settling the entire argument.
