I feel like there’s probably an unspoken division between people who enjoy building systems (providing value in your terms) and people who enjoy more of the detailed coding. The later group had a good thing going where they were extremely well compensated for doing an activity they enjoyed, so I think it make sense for them to be a bit distressed.

I particularly loved the art around Praça de Peixe and Carlos Prates. The stuff around Savassi was bigger and more impressive, but somehow more professional and generic.

Based on your use of "campaign" (the older name for Batch Changes), it sounds like you were looking into Sourcegraph about 2.5 years ago or before that. Lots has changed since then.

We recently released a new indexer scip-clang (https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/announcing-scip-clang), which we've used to successfully index large codebases like Chromium. The indexer relies on a JSON compilation database (same as our older indexer lsif-clang) which is easy to produce from CMake, Bazel, Meson, Make etc.

We've also added support for cross-repo code navigation for C++ recently. (https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/c-cpp-cross-repo)

Well yes but those measurements are still "arbitrary" in the sense that they have no relation to anything that humans regularly deal with or have an intuition for.

Basing a unit of measurement on the size of the Earth? Why not base it on the size of the Sun, or on the distance between Toronto and Timbuktu, or on the combined height of every member of the U.S congress if they all laid head to toe? Those numbers mean nothing to me, but I have a good intuitive feel for distances like "the general range of human heights", "the size of my foot", or "how far I can walk in an hour". Imperial measurements have their origins in those kind of intuitive, everyday quantities that we humans have a natural feel for; that's the sense in which they're not "arbitrary".

That doesn't nmake imperial measurements unconditionally "better", it just makes them more useful and relatable in certain contexts.

Depends how you define IP in this sense. Each full individual IPv6, unlikely as most consumer devices are getting a somewhat random internal address on their network.

Now, with IPv6 for most consumers the first 64 bits is generally enough to define the edge network device that would be covered by a single IPv4 these days.
We should require age verification for shooting up schools too.

One underrated use case that hasn't been mentioned here is that you also have the option to install Windows on it and then it's just like any other gaming PC but portable. No need to faff about with Proton and Steam or worry about compatibility, every game on every storefront just simply works.
Code Search seems a limited market so I would be surprised if their plan wasn't to go after deeper code tooling in the future. Otherwise I don't see how their $2.6 billion valuation made sense. They likely thought that an iterative approach based on human encoded code understanding would allow them to build better systems. Pretty reasonable assumption 1+ years ago. Then GPT3/4 proved that you could just dump data into an AI and probably get an even better result.

Sometimes that's not possible or leads to less ideal tradeoffs (at least in the short run)

For example, I made a doctor's appointment recently. To do so, I called, told them my name, and a few other details that are mostly in the realm of public information.

No one in the office had met me. They had no ID. That would come later in some other forms to be filled out before the visit.

If they require ID upfront, that friction will cause some appointments to not be made. You can't find your ID while on the phone. Grandma has an expired driver's license.

On the other hand, requiring it upfront reduces fraud.

Eventually we will probably have AI powered agents that perform these tasks for us, have the relevant documents handy in memory, and ultimately reduce fraud when scheduling an appointment.

But then we need defense against fake appointments being a way to commit identify fraud.

Before such agents are widely available, there will be growing pains

I work with many well known state and local governments that have programmed which pay people not to steal and commit acts of violence. The idea is that every person who's not actively hurting someone should earn financial rewards. People with a proven track record of hurting people get higher rewards.

The article "Metaphors for AI, and why I don’t like them" by Boaz Barak discusses various metaphors used to describe artificial intelligence (AI) and the author's skepticism towards them. Barak argues that modern AI, particularly deep-learning-based AI, is a fundamentally new concept that cannot be accurately captured by any existing metaphor. He warns against the potential confusion or misinformation that these metaphors can cause, especially for a general audience.

Barak acknowledges the usefulness of metaphors as "intuition pumps" but emphasizes their limitations. He argues that no single metaphor can encapsulate all aspects of AI, and over-interpreting metaphors can lead to misunderstandings. He discusses several metaphors that have been proposed for AI, including "stochastic parrots", "JPEG of the web", "the new McKinsey", "markets, bureaucracies, democracies", "King Midas / Genie", "paperclip maximizer", "alien / new species", and "Shoggoth". He critiques each of these metaphors, pointing out their shortcomings and the aspects of AI they fail to capture.

Barak concludes by emphasizing that AI systems are fundamentally new objects, and while metaphors can help build intuitions about them, they should be used with caution. He suggests that it might be more accurate to say that "This aspect of AI is like X" or "These types of AI systems, used in this way, are like X", rather than making blanket statements like "AI is like X".

I use LLM-based autocomplete in my IDE, and it’s not taking away my job unless/until it improves by multiple orders of magnitude. It’s good at filling in boilerplate, but even for that I have to carefully check its output because it can make little errors even when I feel like what I want should be obvious. The article is absolutely correct in saying you have to be critical of its output.

I would say it improves my productivity by maybe 5%, which is an incredible achievement. I’m already getting to where coding without it feels very tedious.
Thank you for your efforts. Sadly, despite the image of rationality, the delusional thinking you infer to is widespread in industry.

I've had a manager telling me that aliens were going to offer us the secrets of immortality and "zero point energy", while another one seriously claimed that "We will develop time travel, and we will all rescue each other at the end of our lives in a chain of immortality". These are the more extreme examples, but the wishful thinking component is common. What is also common is that most of these people never spent time in a university biochem or genetics class.

If the idea of chemically-induced immortality gives one comfort, sure, I am irrational at times too so I understand. However, the complexity and depressing nature of human biology and human genetics will relieve you of this wishful thinking if you so choose. Feel free to look at reptile regeneration models; I did and I'm glad I had the sense to get out before it ruined my life.

For those naysayers desperate for their immortality fix, perhaps a fresh round of teenage blood transfusions[1] are in order?

Ask HN: Resources for High Performance Computing?
After recently seeing this insane high-throughput fizzbuzz program (https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/215218) and some other hpc-related content, I've become super interested and want to learn more. I'm an ML Engineer that mostly uses Python and Julia and so my knowledge of lower level details of computing is lacking. The way I see it, there are a few broad areas of HPC:

1. Single-thread performance
2. Concurrent/Parallel programming
3. GPU programming (kinda the same as 2)
4. Distributed Computing
5. Quantum Computing

I'm mostly interested in 1-3 (and in that order). I searched HN and DDG and found this (https://theartofhpc.com/) which has been great so far, but I wanted to see if y'all had any other suggestions as I start down this path. Also any favorite profiling tools are welcome!

I'm actively learning C to do this and I have average level competence in algorithms and data structures. I know that's another area I could study but I'm mostly interested in optimizations on the programming side rather than the algorithm side.

Thanks a ton!
It's weird that you dont judge potential hires on the quality of their questions, the most important parts of most creative jobs are being able to ask the right questions.
What's important is that you die a little bit inside in STAR format.
Like others mentioned, it’s totally possible to use another launcher. I have Cyberpunk on GOG for example and a couple games installed I bought on Epic.

But, the Deck absolutely 100% works the way Valve intended: I find myself preferring to purchase games on Steam because it’s easy, even if it’s a couple bucks more or I have to wait for the Steam sale. It’s just a better experience.

My Steam account is possibly most oldest active account anyways and I have always preferred it, but if you primarily use another store it might be a bit annoying to have to do all the manual steps for the majority of your games
I’ve been fired from a job - it’s glaring obvious from my CV - I’m just honest, tell then how I learnt from my error and how I believe it makes me a better dev having reeeealy messed up that one time. If a company doesn’t want to hire me after for that reason it’s not a company I’d want to work for anyway.
If that "stone age" means I'm less likely tracked and logged by a US megacorp to whom I never inteded to share information like what buying and what my medical problems are, GOOD.

I hope all Alphabet IP ranges get blackholed on the ISP level if they continue to perpetuate this hellscape we call targeted advertising.
A lot of people angry here because they are not allowed to discriminate based in actually protected classes like gender. It seems that the hiring manager just wants to make sure that the potential employee is not going to discriminate against other employees. A very reasonable position.

I see many people arguing "to include racists is also diversity" a sentence that may be grammatically correct but it is meaningless when it comes to semantics.

Unfortunately it's not so easy. If I as a person (which is essentially just a biological neural network) can simply go to websites, read the content and use the information I gathered to create slightly modified new content without repercussions, who's to say that an artificial neural network should not be allowed to do that? Just because I'm not as fast? What if I hire 1000 workers in a low wage country to do it for me? As AI capabilities grow, this separation will grow even narrower in the future. There's no realistic way to differentiate web access for human purposes vs. AI purposes in the long run.
As someone who doesn't use Steam and Steam Deck, what's the difference between "playable" and "verified"? I.e. what kind of bugs or unsupported features am I likely to encounter when I play one vs the other?
Phenytoin aka the coma drug which shuts down reflexes, but still unable to determine how much of the brain is still functioning. Pentobarbital which seems to relax muscles.

If ventilated, its possible from to recover from attempted suicide using this drug combination mainly because the reflexes from the nervous system shut down by Phenytoin become operational after about 150hours. Havent been able to read any debriefs of people/patients who have suicided themselves using these drugs to find out how much of the brain was still functioning whilst in a hospital's intensive care ward and bought back to "life".

I suspect this drug combination alone is why there is no legal definition of death and consciousness because it highlights we are just complex chemical reactions and we don't really know what it is that amounts to or makes consciousness.

Ergo AI developers can carry on making wild claims about their code.

Dont really care where I die, how I die ie with little to no trauma of any sort is what I would consider more important than location or activity.

Likewise until people realise they cant end their life in a dignified non traumatic manner at will, is when you realise you are part of an intelligent slave system propped up by useful idiots and so called pillars of society who claim to know best, whilst living off of you in a variety of ways. Think religions, govt's, financial systems, even scientists.

No, Steam comes with everything you need for games. Other launcher work great using Lutris.

Apps like Lutris, Spotify Yuzu are on the Discover app store which uses flatpak. Flatpak is on many distros already installed or can be installed manually.

(PS: The Steam Deck's OS isn't even Arch Linux. It's based on it and uses Arch packages, but updates come from Valve through their own update mechanism with a read only file system. It's like calling Ubuntu Debian just because Ubuntu pulls packages from Debian Testing.)
We had reception (basically someone random) do the first phone screen interviews at my last company.
This. I might call out a particularly good question in the debrief but only as an aside.

I don’t think I ever made a decision where the questions factored in at all; most of the time there’s more than enough material in the actual interview to cover a decision being made.
Subjectively and anecdotally, Vermonters I know are very proud of their no-billboard rule.

It’s an interesting concept that, just a couple generations down the road, there will be relatively few people who have experienced aging and the death that comes with it.

I remember in Cocoon, one of the most touching scenes is between a husband who just lost his wife and an alien captain who just lost a friend for the first time in his multi millennium life. The alien’s empathy towards the tragedy of human condition drives him to offer immortality to the old humans he befriended. And all of them accept, with the exception of the one who lost his wife.
They are called AI bros I think.
> Free Software isn't about picking and choosing who gets to run your program or interact with your protocol. Federation is, but the concept of Meta using ActivityPub has nothing inherently wrong with it.

Meta can ActivityPub themselves all day long, as far as I'm concerned. If I were a server operator, I wouldn't let them anywhere NEAR my users though, so no federation with them.

> If Meta has the gall to rug-pull the entire Fediverse, things will just return to the same status quo they are today.

This is very optimistic. EEE in the past didn't turn out that way. I can imagine the Fediverse being an empty husk with no (significant) life left, but that's just my fears.
When they are determined, they are surprisingly strong animals. We had one pull a baby gate across our kitchen and living room because it liked the rubber stoppers and wanted to steal them.

Of course, the ferret was only pulling the string through the tube, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was capable of pulling the cleaning plug.
The salt could be stored as a cookie and you can follow the session but never be able to reverse the hash yourself. Any match you get in the brute-force attempt might as well be a collision.

The entropy can be in the salt, you're all making it sound way too easy. The requirement is "non-reversible". Given infinite time everything can be brute-forced, but this is the mossad/not-mossad problem.

It's good enough for storing passwords, where the salt is plain-text.
It's interesting that they had two different accounts specifically in case one got borked, and then Oracle simultaneously closed both without warning.

As far as I can tell, the site is just a youtube frontend, so it's unclear if this was some sort of pseudo-DMCA thing, or if Oracle Cloud just sometimes intentionally scorched-earths paying customers.

The metaverse revolutionized how we work and live. It completely transformed society as we know it, with the largest adoption of any software product known to humanity. People use it for multiple hours daily, and some even started working in it. Integrated with Facebook's metacurrency based on blockchain, the economy shifted towards decentraland, where the best memes and bored apes are exchanged on the marketplace in Dollzucks. The game changer was the integration with Meta's time machine, which allows me to comment in this thread. They're even talking of adding legs to avatars!

It's only logical that meta now sets to take over Twitter, which will happen in a matter of months. Their product is superior and contains very few backdoors on its encryption.

All hail Mark!
