>Don't forget that software engineers in the states tend to be much less productive than their German counterparts,

F to doubt. I'm not some jingoist but it seems obvious to me that if Germans were more productive then I'd be able to name at least one FAANG tier company based on Germany.
It seems relatively straight forward (famous last words) to assess whether actual copyrighted text is embedded within the network. If you can prompt output that includes verbatim extracts when the copyright avoidance post-processing is disabled then you know that it has been consumed.

Of course whether that was purposeful or inadvertently as a part of the larger training set would not be determined but you would know that the text is in there.
Why would you spend money to run a website?
Clearly I have much more to improve on because you put it way better than I did. My communication skills are terrible.
Something like this was posited in Banks’ Excession, and I remember thinking how advanced passing messages via DNA embedded in bacterial seemed.
There's a lot of discussion about whether existing copyright laws apply to training data, but not enough discussion of what should change in copyright law to give the best outcome to society.

I don't think treating ML systems as legally equivalent to a human brain is right, but I also don't think that copyright law is sufficient as-is. This is something entirely new.

It seems like society would benefit from have ML systems around that can be trained on copyrighted material, but not if it prevents authors from being able to make a career out of producing great work. We need to balance the outcome for owners of ML companies, authors, and society as a whole, ideally prioritising the latter.

What do you think we should do?

That's not strictly true; for example new drugs are tested on animals and humans all the time.
> I wonder if it's one of these cases where a company believes themselves to be bigger and more important than they really are.

I think that it's quite sure one of those cases. From their messaging it seems like they are committed to solve big hairy problems (that in my minds are things like AGI, nuclear fusion, stopping world's hunger, etc...), but when you look at their product portfolio the expectations they set certainly don't match the reality given that you'll find mobile apps for video and image editing, fitness, etc... BTW with the exception of Evernote (that it's not something they created) I've never heard of any of those apps.
I've applied for 4 Linux admin jobs in the past 6 months...

First job didn't even contact me, and it disappeared from LinkedIn 3 weeks later.

Second and third job didn't contact me for months, only to get an automated rejection email.

The last job gave me an interview, and looked at me funny when I told them I only program as a hobby. It really sounds like they wanted a developer and an admin, but didn't want to hire two separate people (it was not a "devops" position). When I asked for an update, they told me there were 2 positions available, and who they hired for one dictated who they hired for the other. I haven't heard from them since, and at this point, and I expect another automated rejection email in the next month or so.

So yeah, HR people kindof suck.
How about: "How odd, many haven't migrated yet, shouldn't we doublecheck to see if they are aware of this shutdown?"
Yup, at least I've never heard of bending spoons before (I'm European). I'm familiar with Evernote though!
Possible XSS attack on Lemmy instances
What a crap business model these companies have if they rely on haggling over legal loopholes to operate. The business case, at best, is the status quo remains with material threats to their operations if these laws change. This is a lose-lose for everyone. Ignore the morality arguments, why risk your money on something with almost zero upside and all this downside? Suing the government is not a sign of strength
That's because writing is hard... Like really hard.

I've been tasked with writing a page or two about a project I'm currently working on and I'm finding it incredibly difficult. It has really highlight to me that I need to write more, if I want to be able to communicate more clearly.
The net result of all this dick measuring is I'm getting seriously turned off by both megalomaniac's platforms.
Exactly. A statement is true by definition if and only if it is satisfied in every model. Also, Gödel also proved the completeness theorem that states that a statement is true if and only if it is provable. So, another way to look at undecidability is this: a statement is undecidable if and only if it can be neither proved nor disproved.
> > Not everyone is going to see those emails and even those that do may not understand what they are reading.

>

> If that's the case, these companies/people have no business using cloud services.

Cloud services are responsible for this. I've signed up to many cloud services where I purposefully unchecked all the newsletter/updates/... notifications.

But I still receive notifications for stuff unrelated to what I use. These emails are full of marketing/PR jargon, where it's unclear whether I'm affected by the change or whether there is even a change!

Cloud services are lazy, don't look at their customer use, spam everybody, and blame their customers when they missed an important update due to noise-fatigue.

This is the main reason why I stopped using SaaS.
You’re reiterating his argument almost perfectly. He initially said the code writing will be left to the AIs while high level designs will be left to the engineers. That’s exactly what they mention foreseeing in the next 24 months, which I also intuitively agree with.

Derren Brown goes even further sometimes. The cups and balls on his TV show feature emphasis on certain words: 'for' said a little louder and longer than other words to make someone pick number 4 etc. He never directly explains this as 'influence' but it is intended so a keen viewer will watch many times and come to the conclusion "Aha! Neuro linguistic programming! I've worked it out" and stop looking for the sleight of hand that actually does the trick.
A few issues spotted:

- It is not obvious how to get back to equipment selection: the history does not change, and it was not apparent that those step numbers are buttons.

- With JS off, there is an empty page in the beginning.

- The website does not allow to select forearms after choosing just "bodyweigh[t]" and "pull-up bar" as equipment, even though musclewiki.com shows chin-ups as an exercise for forearms.

Sidney Siegel, N. John Castellan, Jr.

So, "nonparametric" means make no assumptions about a probability distribution based on parameters. Or, call the material distribution-free.

E.g., get to see about resampling plans -- tiny assumptions, really simple, darned cleaver, quite generally useful, especially appropriate for computing. Might use resampling to get more information from the data from "A - B" tests.

Seems like you put too much value on writing code.

As a senior dev preventing business from bad decisions and preventing code that should never be written is more valuable.

Code is liability.

To propose solutions I still need to know the code for the system so it is not like suddenly I lost ability to write or understand code. But coding - is only one of many tools for creating a system.

> "By installing, copying or otherwise using ... you agree to be bound by ... "

Why do people keep writing shit like this. Whoever wrote that EULA no doubt has an understanding of contract law and knows that you can't just unilaterally bind someone into an agreement like that. I know it's classic EULA nonsense, but it still bugs me how you can just write whatever and hope people naively take your word on it.
I'd argue that this is a form of rubberducking.

Something that I've tried a few times was basically pretending that I'm a live-streamer/YouTuber/whatever and verbally explain my thought process & actions as I program. I found that it was actually better practice for coding interviews than anything else, but I wouldn't be surprised if you found trying something similar also helpful.

I do think there is specific value in practicing summaries, though, as it's a really important skill to be able to distill down a 45-minute technical rant into something grokkable by others in a reasonable amount of time. Something that I do most mornings is plan out my exact phrasings for standup updates, sometimes verbally if I'm having troubles putting my update into words and I'm WFH that day. Then again, I'm probably a bit autistic too and often mentally plan out most non-casual conversations.
What do you think of Threads, Meta’s new Twitter Alternative?
What do you think of Threads, Meta’s new Twitter Alternative?

Meta has launched ‘Threads’ an alternative to Twitter. Have you signed up for Threads? What do you think, does it live up to its Hype?

I believe that because of Meta copying and integrating features from their competitors (Snapchat, Twitter and others) they will create a monopoly on social media. Instagram added stories a feature on snapchat that is really popular. Slowly they will make a platform which has everything a user needs. Also they will try to buy everything just like Whatsapp.

And wind turbines’ neighbours find them unsightly and the new Virgin Hotel on 29th Street blocks some of my sunlight. This isn’t a novel problem.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll think of ways to improve that
I've always liked that feature of C and C++. There's a lot of people that really hate it and in new languages they unify it to be just a dot. Zig does this as well, for instance. I always liked that the distinction was very explicit: use a.b() if you're calling b() on the object itself, use a->b() if you're de-referencing a first.

There are lots of things wrong with C and C++ that Zig and Rust fixes, but I never thought of this one being problematic in any way. It's as easy to type, the difference is obvious, and it's easy to see from a glance what's going on.
Considering that I'm not allowed to copy any of the physical books, films or songs that I own as it breaks copyright then copying it and putting it into a generative AI should also be illegal. Just because you change it from words into weights, it's just another form of compression. I'd rather not live in the world where AI models have better rights than people.
The problem that will occur, and will prevent producing things, is that at some point finding parts and people able to repair those will be hard or impossible.

I'm not saying that having latest or newest stuff is any better, just that using old stuff can bring some problems too.
Surely noone would like to develop something even if its greenfield if they don’t see it promising.

Believe me, they would have been more then happy to pop into existence a 100% backwards compatible change, but that is impossible.

If you are in Japan, I would highly suggest you visit the Toyota museum in Nagoya. Toyota started as a loom manufacturer and the museum has a ton of working artifacts (I recall one is from the 1600s).

They have a tour that shows you the full evolution of the loom technology including one operating by punch cards.

I had no idea until I visited the museum shortly before COVID
Twitter did two things.
Removal of media gate keepers. No longer did politicians, athletes, actors, other notables have their msg filtered by media outlets. Before you had to rely on whatever edited quote a newspaper deemed worthy of providing to you.
Major shift in control.

The other was the rise of the quick rebuttal. No longer have to have things fact checked.
> - is currently preventing Threads from trending (supposedly)

I've independently noticed this. It's extremely pronounced, hard to miss, and impossible to ignore. I don't mean just the trend list, but when you search "Threads" you get only the most obscure and irrelevant content, it's near impossible to find Threads commentary, despite I see it in prominent accounts I follow, they talk about it a lot.
In the states IT Techs at schools is a typical entry level position. Here they are underpaid and understaffed so they have to wear lots of hats. So it's a great learning experience but still stressful especially in the run up to start of school in the fall. So there is lots of turnover for school IT which could help you get hired.

Depends on your starting experience and background. Ask around your network and see if you can connect with someone who works at a school and then try to get a handle on what the requirements are for the position you seek. Knowing someone at the school/business you want to get hired in to is a great door opener.
It kinda does now. Just buy a M1/M2 Mac and you will see :-)

Can someone explain to me why Linux users seem so interested about having this long heated discussion about very low level piece of the OS infrastructure they actually have no expertise about and don’t really care about in a direct way?

It’s a never ending source of amusement for me. If what you do is broken, just go see your OS provider and ask them to fix it. Why do you even care about how things are working under the hood and how developers chose to spend their time?
I just migrated from Ghost because many of these problems, and lack of basic features like an integrated referral system for my newsletter.
It might not be broken, yet, but when it breaks you'll not be able to find parts or people with knowledge for very old devices like this...
The thing that is never said about remote, is that a lot of employers work with employees that are neither very good nor motivated.

Now you could say that it's a management problem, that as to be solved.

But meanwhile, this is the situation right now.

And employees that are not very good nor motivated are not very productive remotely, and are difficult to manager from a distance or with time zone differences.

> This is an unreasonable position to take on a forum where there are absolutely zero clues about the competence of the person in the thread.

> each and every HN contributor has to be treated as incompetent developers until they demonstrate otherwise

It's absolutely not unreasonable. On the contrary, the HN guidelines state "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

(I realize that I've violated the guidelines here in my response to other guideline violations, which I'm not supposed to do, and I'll take my "punishment", whatever that happens to be.)

> And it is incompetent developers - at Apple - that gave us this nonsense notification system in the first place.

I'm inclined to think that it was more of a bureaucratic mess. There are tight timelines, lack of coordination among different teams, underspecified or conflicting requirements, etc.
I would go further and argue the parent comment is being deliberately disingenuous. Medical statistics are always circumstantial and clouded by uncertainty. That’s why we have rigorous study designs in people and a shit load of mice studies.

There is a lot of money that is interested in making PFAS look not bad (for very obvious reasons if someone gets sued $10B) so its not unreasonable to assume they would pay people to post disinformation on hacker news.
I still think having multiple display server implementation is a mistake.

Qt/KDE is lagging behind and there are no easy way for them to catch up.
Had the display server been a single implementation, Qt/KDE can focus on WM/Widget..
Secure digital transfer of value without a trusted intermediary is a legitimate use case.
That's not how developer productivity works. US has more FAANGs than Germany because they have a lot more money, and because the ones with the money (investors and VCs) are a lot more likely to invest it in starting SW companies than in Germany where investors are a lot more conservative with their money and don't take any risks.
It's not. The author's own dad publically called him out as a liar about his story (I believe the author claimed his dad was dead). It's a fabricated story, like almost all defector stories from North Korea. Stories like his sells well, and there's no way to verify any of it.
> I don't understand the fascination with obsolete commodity hardware on HN.

Older hardware had (obviously?) more restrictions and less to no documentation to current one. That ignited creative and search activities that are lower or non-existant now. For example, now GPUs are more or less blackboxes while before you should study some basic linear algebra to modify and display objects in 3D.

Why would anyone want a professional social network if you aren't specifically job searching or seeking clients?

I don't feel the author has made a clear point here. Yes, the model has switched from companies posting content to individual posting content, but I don't understand how that is a problem. It's a mechanism for businesses and professionals to connect. What does the author expect it to be?
If you were working in a warehouse and they had no packages for you to send out, they just don't pay you for that time?
Yes, I guess I could do that, then maybe I can get it upstreamed.

However I was misremembering a bit and misspoke before both about how easy it's been to support Windows 95 (it was easy up until a few mingw-w64 releases ago... except for spawning processes) and how recent my mingw-w64 is (I'm using 7.0.0, 3.5 years old, and simply haven't tried anything newer; the GCC version is independent within limits). Also I have no idea the minimum Windows targetted by mingw-w64 actually is, they don't say. I think they don't actually care about Windows 9x support, they just never did anything to break it before 6.0.0. I have doubts they'd accept such a patch.

The most important trick was you have to use a build of mingw-w64 with 'win32' rather than 'posix' threading ([1], and the rest of that thread is relevant too):

> the 'win32' threading support in mingw-w64 is the original one and supports all 32-bit Windows, while 'posix' threading (winpthreads) is a recent addition which is necessary to support C++11 mutexes and threads, but has higher system requirements. ... That's why mxe switched to posix threads by default in 2019.

It never worked "fine", it was always a failure from security and usability perspective.

You know that apps have security vulnerabilities that can be exploited over the network? Screen grabbing, keyloggers, input injection(you have open root terminal? let's type some commands there). And more.
The super neat thing is that they tag each DNA chain with the pixel coordinates, so you can afterwards mix those 10,000 DNA strands each for all 96 pixels into one 1-mio-DNA-strand-soup and still recover the image successfully.

Technically the Internet, and all social networks on it are an extension of an existing network (for Internet, initially the military, then universities, then companies, then society).

I'm not saying this to be edgy, but stating a fact that merits recognition. Facebook started by replicating student networks in Cambridge. Then it was slowly introduced in specific companies like Apple and so on, and then the US as a whole, and only then the rest of the world, country by country.

You always need this focus on a specific existing network, in order to reduce friction of transition/extension. It doesn't make the end result any less valid. Because if you can extend Instagram with a Twitter-like app. Well. You have a Twitter-like network now. You did it.
Can't wait until they do a worldwide investigation to find patient zero from the selfie encoded in the next pandemic.
That one store in Nova Scotia is pretty much the Atlantic Canada store being the closest for most people in Newfoundland, PEI and a huge chunk of New Brunswick (on the Western side the Québec City store is closer maybe, still hours away). There's plenty of non-rural areas there without an Apple Store.

There is still 4 U.S states that lack an Apple store entirely. It's not like Wal-mart or even Best Buy.
Median salary for all software developers in Germany (not just experienced) was 64.584€ in 2021 and should have risen quite a lot with current inflation by now.
