That doesn't always (or usually) work in some of these BigCorps. It's not that they don't give you freedom to go ... do stuff -- they often do -- but there are also are often very concrete boundaries about who is allowed to actually have the stuff they do go into any kind of production codebase. And very rigorous review processes, etc. and often the first question in a code review on something exotic and new at a place like Google is: Where is the PRD / design doc for this? (aka who approved this)..

They are often not environments promoting spontaneous contributions, especially not not at the L3/L4/L5 aka lower part of the promotion ladder.

That and corporate survival / promo at these places really depends on "demonstrating impact", which, well, at the lower levels... can come down to sticking with doing what someone more senior than you expected you to do, taking ownership of it, and etc etc.

The reality is that many of the people spinning their wheels like this should just leave and go find a new job. But that's awfully hard to do when you are making sometimes twice as much as what a more "meaningful" job in e.g. a startup or small company can offer. Or when you're on an H1B, or you need certain medical care, etc. etc. etc.

The primary issue is when the day changes in the middle of the local day. Assume everyone adopts UTC. Then in California, midnight will happen at 5pm local time.

* Friday UTC 2300 = local time 4pm PST - This is Friday
* Saturday UTC 0100 = local time 6pm PST - Is this Saturday?
* Saturday UTC 2300 = local time 4pm PST next day - This is still Saturday?

When would Saturday afternoon be? We'd have to change our vocabulary, and I don't see that worth it.

Over the years i have run into OS problems that require format-reinstall, which used to take days to get normality back. So i moved everything i could to portable software on a USB pen drive, browser, email, graphics, 3d, text editors, PIMs, i even have xampp server mostly running portable. All saving data locally where possible, encrypted.. then i just back up everything periodically and i know my entire work-flow can continue on a new OS, or even a different PC with little interruption.

I have looked into Sync software, and i use this for local backups, but I'd only trust the cloud with an encrypted file container, which i have to re-upload each time.
It's in the LLaMa.cpp original research paper. Tis mentioned in the brief. The research paper basically stated it was trained on Bibliotik, and other Internet "shadow library" corpuses.

See the reference to the Gao et al, in the linked paper from the article.

This act of summarization done in a lovingly amateur nature at no cost to you, by domeone who despises copyright in all it's forms, but despises profit oriented self-referential inconsistency by large enterprises even more so.

It's kind of funny, because the more I look into it, the more companies building offerings around stuff like CoPilot, LLaMA, ChatGPT, etc... are pulling something not altogether dissimilar to a Sovereign Citizen trying to worm their way out of a speeding ticket.

They want the benefits of the ML model being trained on no strings attached data corpora, while shirking the obligations that come from operating as a corporate entity in the United States.

Twould be interesting to see if Silverman's legal team can catch Big Tech with their pants down, in a court of law, by pointing this out.

It's really weird. I'm completely split and inable to live with a decision either way in this case due to knock on consequences.

I don't want the likes of OpenAI/Meta/Microsoft/Github getting off without reapong the painful fruits of their own IP related crusades on the sanctity of copyright.

On the other hand, as much of a karmic stiffy as that former outcome gives me, I really want copyright such as it is to die, because computing in general will never be as free as it should be until it does.

This is one of those rare times in life where I'd love to get paid to get locked in a room with judges/legislators to really get it all figured out, because I really don't think that leaving this up to common law jurisprudence is actually the best way to go since the network of knock-on effects are so dramatic in scale.

Before anyone dismisses the Japanese for using old tech - whether it’s fax machines or funny looking flip phones, I’ll say that it’s truly admirable of them to always focus on the problem than getting excited over new tech.

Has that prevented them from advancing as a society? No. Has that prevented new innovations? Certainly not. This has likely prevented a lot of devices from being decommissioned and adding to our recycling woes and landfill. For contrast, a typical North American company refreshes all computers every 3 years. Imagine that.

I am sure that where it matters, companies are using newer tooling, but where the benefits are minuscule - there’s no pressure to change. Japanese people can take comfort in knowing their favourite hardware will be supported for a very long time.

DNA has the same limitation that many serial protocols have: if you repeat the same base pairs (e.g. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA") you will have trouble w/ the DNA not spiraling correctly. Some sequences of 2-6 repeated base pairs seem to "deliberately" cause variant behavior in DNA and RNA, see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated_sequence_(DNA)

Many real wire protocols have mechanisms to prevent repeated sequences entirely

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8b/10b_encoding

DNA coding for real proteins is unlikely to be too terribly repetitive but I image a long α helix could have a repetitive amino acid sequence. Many amino acids can be coded with variant codons, I guess if repetition were a problem in a particular gene natural selection could step in.

My main roadblock now is that my fiancé is off for the summer (she's a teacher) so we're outside a lot and it's also hard to find the LiDAR datasets online.

I think the Washington one has been out for a while but I didn't know it existed until a few weeks ago.

I'll probably do an ASK HN for LiDAR datasets at some point and hope we can crowdsource as much data as we can.
Yeah I was really talking about two slightly different things

* Need to notify users about something (not something that requires new consent, just a service announcement like a breaking workflow change). Use emails, uncloseable banners for a month, forced modals, whatever. Users still claim they didn't see it despite proof that they had seen the modal and banner many times

* New feature exists. User explicitly enables it despite a very clear explanation of what it does and simple yes/no buttons. User clicks yes and then complains that it was enabled automatically without their permission. The stuff I work on doesn't deal much in personal data so this wasn't even legal consent, just power features that can cause harm if used flippantly

Not exclusive to development either. I hear the same stories from sysadmins on a weekly basis (of users ignoring any IT communication and clicking buttons randomly without reading, then blaming everyone but themselves). Probably similar stories from any non-tech service job too
I have been using duckduckgo's bang feature for searching a particular site. e.g. !hn to search on here, !w on wiki and !g back to google is the result from ddg looks off.
The cards look great. Ontology reminds me of someone who wrote an "ontology for League of Legends," but I cannot find it.

The use case was being able to analyze game balance through it, which seems to be a killer application for that. But I didn't get to note how ontology relates to calculations.

Previously I thought ontology was just about categories or hierarchies. Manning's Knowledge Graphs Applied mentions ontologies:

I fully agree that these "blitzscale" business have a horrible business model that is not sound, both economically (depends on free funding) and morally (the goal is to corner the market or at least get an oligopoly and then exploit your position).

That said I don't think a win here would help the current workers. Like all minimum wage laws this will reduce demand (obviously people don't want to pay a 12$ delivery fee for an order of $20), push business towards even shadier employment practices and medium term towards automation / "self-service".

As much as I would want it not to be true, the low-skill end of the employment market will always be easily replaceable and consumers won't be willing to pay unlimited amounts for something they could easily do themselves. As such it would help people a lot more if there was an easy path towards acquiring skills, guaranteeing that these bottom-rung jobs will be only temporary.
Would be neat if you could somehow splice them into a sequence but I think you'd have some alternating sequences that determine position and sequences that really code information.

I was explaining why 1 hour as the standard makes sense instead of 30 minutes or 2 hours. The :45 time zones would still be an issue for 30 minute intervals and :30 and :45 are still an issue for 2 hour intervals
Interestingly, you are correct, but you omitted the rest of the paragraph where they articulate why, emphasizing that across booth residential and commercial neighborhoods there is a striking difference in policing.

> We note that we report racial and socioeconomic disparities without attempting to control for other covariates for two reasons. First, if New York City residents of different races face different levels of police deployments, that disparate impact is itself important; it can also bias algorithms trained on downstream policing data irrespective of the true causal mechanism. Second, controlling for other factors in policing data can be difficult to interpret, introducing concerns about omitted variable bias and model misspecification which make it difficult to identify which factor is truly the “cause” of higher police deployments. For the sake of transparency and simplicity, therefore, we report results by stratifying each variable separately, noting that these disparities are themselves important but that multiple causal mechanisms may underlie them.
Consider that companies like these can afford to pay $300k USD precisely to just spin their wheels, because they simply don't want them going elsewhere where they might compete...
Depends on if they're using smart memory allocation to keep costs lower, IE, if they can pattern that certain workloads only need N amount of memory at Y time, they can effectively borrow memory from one VM for usage in another that has an opposite statistical likelihood of needing that memory.

This is why paying for dedicated memory is often more expensive than its counter part, because that dedicated memory is not considered as part of pooling.

> You know, completely gaslighting the fact that the readers had zero say in the coverage decisions of the NYTimes and other outlets to run the Titan sub coverage so incessantly.

The opposite is true, actually: these news services are incredibly, probably overly, sensitive to what stories are driving organic traffic and which are not. They all have multiple dashboards that track site traffic minute by minute and make editorial decisions on an hourly time scale. Specifically they rewrite headlines, metadata, ledes, and add/alter keywords within copy if a story seems to be underperforming. On a daily basis they make writing assignments based on this data.

Big news services can to some extent “push” stories at the beginning, but not for long, maybe a day or two at most. They’re so dependent on traffic for the business model, and so close to the edge of not making money, that they have be acutely aware and reactive to organic traffic patterns.

I agree with your more nuanced take on the golang community's position. I still think that a fully realized framework is, in general, a better starting point for the vast majority of projects. Part of the problem is that such frameworks are few and far between. I'll stick to the Ruby community: I know developers I respect who really like Sinatra, which would be more akin to a microframework. It is their go to starting point, but when I go to work on their projects I very quickly find myself straying out of Sinatra's capabilities into things that are fully baked into Rails. I then have to spend time pulling that capability into Sinatra, which is not how I like to spend my time as an application developer. There are many frameworks that are positioned as 'elegant' or 'focused' when they are simply incomplete in the face of real world development and teams end up having to either cobble together disparate micro-framework or rebuild basic capabilities to get to a fully realized app. I would argue that is not time well spent and that everyone thinks they are super good at creating solid, performant, extensible, well documented code, but they are not (statistically speaking) and by then it is too late and others have to live with their junk for years, or worse yet they all bail because now they know hot-framework-x and board the recruiter train to their next salary bump.

This looks great - I was looking for something like this and other solutions are split into pretty much a) way too expensive for a small business using it casually b) very basic systems without mobile support.

For anything I said to have been an ad hominem I would have needed to disqualify your argument as a result of who you are. Considering what I've said here is that you misunderstand my argument, not that your interpretation is wrong because of some facet of yourself, it is therefore not an ad hominem.

Any evaluation of you on my part is in addition to you being wrong, not a logical cause of your wrongness. But I do appreciate the admission that you're not all that well educated, it does help me understand why this petty little disagreement means so much to you.

The real culprit is actually make-busy work, the main use of human labor in bullshit jobs:

Producing new documents that get passed around in enterprises but which no human being reads may well be the most suitable application for LLMs.

I’m also failing to see how digit efficiency would be important in DNA. In fact, it seems that a high base system would be more efficient. If you had 80 nucleobases instead of 4, each base pair would contain far more information
You’re always locked into your infrastructure.

It made no sense for a health care company that sent at home nurses to special needs kids to write their own in house EMS/EHS system. And they had an in house one that they had been depending on in 2015. It was built using PowerBuilder from 1999 and running SQL Server 2000. They were “locked into” supporting an old PowerBuilder app.

It also wouldn’t have made sense to hire a bunch of mobile developers to write a data capture system written for Android devices for their nurses. I had been there done that eight years prior when I did work for a company that wrote field service software for ruggedized Windows CE devices and 5 years prior when I did something similar for rail car repairmen.

It also wouldn’t make sense for them to write anything that could be done with Salesforce or a third party LMS.

Software developers are a cost center to a non software company.
The use cases of LLMs are expanding rapidly and has the potential to level the playing field for startups and force them to think differently to stay relevant and competitive.

Feature Flags: Theory vs. Reality
No. The big question is whether we want to live in a society that requires the police to randomly stop and frisk people in order to stop crime. There is crime, I don't think anyone can dispute that.

Honestly, I personally have no problem with criminal-looking individuals being stopped and frisked in high-crime areas. And I say this as someone that's been profiled as a white person in a black country, and held at gunpoint by assault-rifle wielding police.

Ford is using the same plant and workers to assemble the Mach-e that they have used for ICE cars since the 1960s. My guess is that there really isn't a huge difference in what the factory workers are doing. Bolting a door onto a Rav4 can't be that different than bolting a door onto a Rav4 with an electric motor.

We actually do have a retraining mechanism in this case. The UAW has a program called the "National Vocational Retraining Assistance Plan" available to laid off members.

Were they "working hard" on individual-contributor-style work, or on management?

As I've written more than once here: it's are harder to experiment upon than physics. Society/individual behavior is also way more complex than e.g. rheology or organic chemistry, and doesn't submit itself to lab research.

But that's not the only problem. The problem is that people try it anyway. They have some hypothesis within a theoretical framework which is embedded in other frameworks, none of which is proven. How could they be? But, they set up an experiment anyway, and (usually after a couple of attempts) they find something that can reject H0. Then they publish an article stating that their theoretical framework is a fact.

There is so much wrong in this process, even ignoring the manipulation of the stimuli and conditions, and the statistical procedures, yet the theory has a good chance to make school and become the subject of research in dozens of psych departments, each contributing articles to the literature about it. After a while, an essentially flawed theory enters the handbooks.

Then, if you want to make a name for yourself as a researcher, and you need publications, you can simply attack older theories. They'll crumble like cookies, you get your publications, and the cycle restarts.

And as critical as I am of psychology, other social sciences have even lower empirical standards. Educational sciences, sociology, linguistics all have very little to show for a century of research. And that's ignoring disciplines like political sciences or history.

Who do you think helped more people by managing a project, Linus Trovalds (Linux) or Elon Musk (Tesla)? Now compare who has more money. Money is just a proxy for wealth, and there are several ways to acquire wealth (sometimes by even screwing people over). And even if you are making a median argument (most people you know work in offices) you are talking ask if there is no unfairness ever in salaries. This is a very reductionist way to look at the world.
