I grew up with Windows (and to a lesser extent - at my dad's office, or in the school computer lab, Macs), but I remembered hearing about how incredible and ahead-of-its-time the Amiga was.

Given that reputation, when I finally got WinUAE setup, I couldn't believe how awful Workbench 1.0 looked. "Well", I told myself, "I guess it was from the mid-80s. You can only expect so much. It's not bad compared to Windows 1.0..."

So...you can imagine my dismay when Workbench 2.0 (1990) and 3.0 (1992) looked...it wasn't garish anymore; it was incredibly drab, but still awful. Compared to their contemporaries - Windows 3.0 and 3.1, respectively, to say nothing of MacOS at the time - there was no contest. If you were doing anything besides playing games or video work with the Toaster I couldn't imagine buying an Amiga at that point, given what else was on the market.

>declarative

An admirable ideal, but declarative languages always seem to devolve towards some frankenstein imperative/declarative hybrid. We need to stop going down this path and embrace Pulumi's pattern: use existing general purpose imperative languages to generate a declarative structure. Instead, people try to take their not-mature declarative language and fit a weird general purpose language inside it.

EDIT>> I'm not suggesting that SQL needs to be declarative, only that if a problem space would benefit from declarative structures, generate them imperatively instead.
Recently came back and hero'd a character for old times sake. The people who still play are a good crew and very welcoming of anyone who wants to play.

It's a different game with fewer players, in that you have the run of desirable zones like Demonforge or Bloodstone but the meta for running them has changed to account for smaller formations. Really fun!
Funny incentive problem, OpenAI obviously has an incentive to use it's best AI detection tool for adversarial training, with the result that it's detection tool will not be very good against chatGPT generated text because it is trained to defeat the detection tool.

Are people actually not leaving? I had not used Twitter in about a year and a half until last week. I went there and it took 20 seconds to load the web app, then after I logged in it was Elon getting promoted, ads that look like mostly spam, and everyone with a blue check mark. I left because I thought the platform was deteriorating then and it is much, much worse now.
You have phrased your comment very carefully and I agree, sometimes there might be some value in looking at simple trends, if only for the reason that other market participants do the same.

> But the core proposition of TA is that a scientific approach to analyzing past price movements will at least hint at the future, sometimes. Not all the time.

Will those "hints" be correct more than 50% of the time, though? I mean, if TA did beat coin flips, you could exploit this consistently with a profit. That, however, would be news to me.
Flipside: Staying in an expensive metro area puts you at risk to maintain your quality of life and pay mortgage/taxes/insurance on everything, when a lot of hybrid jobs don't pay enough to cover those expenses, and are also at risk of layoffs, which can be catastrophic when you have a high cost of living. If you're remote/rural, you don't need to make nearly as much just to skate by if something goes south. I moved out of the Bay Area, and I cannot imagine ever going back. Too much risk. I don't care if the pool of jobs is smaller and the pay is lower.
In the Qualcomm paper cited, they explain/hypothesize that Transformers learn to attend to these low-meaning tokens when they want to avoid adding too much extra info to the residual stream. So it's not an issue that the models attend to spaces and punctuation during in these outliers – it's the workaround the models come up with to get around the fact that attention has to go somewhere.

This post's author has a different solution, and one that theoretically could avoid causing large outliers that prevent efficient quantization. These large outliers seem to be an unfortunate side-effect of the models' learned solution.

So getting rid of spaces would do nothing to solve the problem, and would instead force the models to learn a new solution, one that presumably isn't as optimal.

Right, and who knows if their metrics were actually measuring meaningful work? If they are measuring in-office rituals like this that changed during the remote transition but they ultimately didn't lead to more tangible work being completed, then their metrics are worthless.

What's funny is we did that exact experiment right here on HN several years ago and it went predictably tits up, since everything is political in some way, because politics TOUCHES EVERYTHING.
My impression is a 100 years ago doctors would have been comfortable with the idea that their patient was suffering from chronic bad health with no understood cause. And then with the rise of the psychology profession anything like that was deemed psychosomatic. Impotent? Psychosomatic! Gastrointestinal problems? Psychosomatic! Feel crappy with exercise intolerance? Psychosomatic! Over the last 40 years has seen some psychosomatic! problems actually turn out to be diagnosable medical problems.
Some more roadblocks:

- IP protection - some countries make it super hard if someone breaks the NDA and steals their employer's IP. At least in the US, the employer can go after the IP thieves as a last recourse.

- Secure devices - lot of companies give laptops which come with all sorts of tracking software (eg. to force security updates). It is hard to ship laptops all over the world due to customs requirements.

- you seem to have just opposed what you said, and it sounds as if you're willing to make other adults' decisions for them, which deeply bothers me. Perhaps you meant something more nuanced.
What does it mean to fix it?
Aren't there two main reasons?

1. You need some way of normalizing shares to produce a statistical sampling of the market, and capitalization is the obvious, existing market mechanism to do this.

2. You need to resist brute attacks on the index investment strategy. I.e. if a giant fund is known to just consider all shares equal, you could soak them by doing wild stock splits to put more of your shares on the market. Or if they consider all companies equal, you could soak them by bringing lots of empty shell companies to the market.

> The author also posited that the lack of AI progress back then was due to the fact that there are no constantly competing sub-brains.

That became popular in neural networks after the introduction of dropout regularization, which forced neurons to "co-adapt" and learn to do each others' jobs. Large, over-specified models also provide a natural setting for co-adaptation.

The variation on the absolute number of remote jobs carry some information, that is hard to link to any cause but is there.

The variation on the ratio of remote to on-site jobs carry much less information and is still harder to link to a cause.
Many of the ideas looks like good idea.

Zero telemetry is good.

A suspend feature, like the low power mode, is good idea.

To edit text on page, I think that the web developer menu is many browsers would be suitable for such a purpose, and a separate menu for that seems unnecessary to me.

Allow copy/paste is good, although I would do it a bit differently. Similarly like many spreadsheet programs have the option for manual or auto calculation, to do that for web pages also; if set to manual calculation mode then nothing is calculated or sent to the server until you push send or recalculate, and most events are suppressed, so it cannot prevent you to copy/paste, nor can it spy on data that you have entered but chosen to not send yet. It would also improve speed and less power, and avoid problems with some forms that will put in a number automatically if you erase the number and make it difficult to enter the correct number due to that. So, it would solve ten problems at once.

"Open Page in Internet Archive" may be useful, but seems to me should be an extension rather than a built-in feature (although it could be an extension which is included by default).

However, some things that would be good to have in a web browser would be: User controlled request/response headers (this can make many other settings unnecessary, e.g. language, as well as anything that can be controlled by the Content-Security-Policy header, etc). Add user styles and user scripts (without needing to package an extension). Be able to use native code extensions (which must be installed manually and cannot be installed from the web service). Relative location bar mode. ARIA mode.
What material and setup could even fake that result?
This place seemed so cool, it's a shame it's gone now, I would love to go to a bar like this.

It should be obvious to anyone who has an education and even the faintest understanding of what is freedom , what is living in a democracy. but I guess when you had everything handed over you and did not have to fight for it you don't need to learn about the past and your life is just a permanent present where your actions and thoughts are based on your surroundings rather than on facts, history, beliefs. the previous twitter (in his last years) was an FBI cover operated by politicians that had a clear agenda and always censored voices that were against them INCLUDING the POTUS that like it or not had millions of american voices behind him. Even if you don't like the guy at least you should acknowledge that banning is against everything that freedom stands for. I don't understand why the opinion is not 50/50 on this. If Musk was a hardcore democrat he'd be praised in HN...

Another example of that btw is Julian Assange, he was praised as a hero until he revealed some corruption in the side of the 'good guys' since then he is a russian agent and evil....
I do but I can imagine that 16% of people don't.

If you went out with a VR headset and offered 30 minute demos of them to random people for $3.50 I don't think you would have an 84% success rate.
>As you said, we are past the return point. This is happening, and we should be doing something that actually addresses the problems caused by the ocean currents shutting down, but too many activists will block the traffic, piss everybody off, show a sign with "STOP OIL" painted on it, accomplish nothing but fomenting the hate, and call it a day.

Ah yes, 80 million people vote for the guy who says that climate change is a chinese hoax and we should be burning """clean""" coal but the actual problem is the people who don't like pretending things are fine.
Corporations have broken the trust of paying customers which is why they are not trusted.

It doesn't matter since there's no one-pass solution to counterfeiting.

You have the right of it-- the best you can hope for is adding more complexity to the product, which adds steps to their workflow and increases the chances of the counterfeiter overlooking any particular detail that you know to look for.
I was able to use samba to generate these messages such that they looked like they came from other users in the lab. We had a lot of fun with that.
As mentioned in other HN threads, recently twitter has changed everyone's message settings so you are much less likely to be able to send someone a private message and now requires people to log in to read it.

That is is very inconvenient.

The only aspect of the rebrand that I care about is that they are wasting a second of my time showing the new logo full-screen when a page loads.
Europe would get cold.

Ocean currents bring lots of warm water from the south towards Europe making it quite a bit warmer than other places at similar latitudes. Cities in Europe are quite a bit further north than most people think.

Lots of other side effects as well would happen but be less known or surely predicted by models.
I believe that's not what they're saying. It's signing hardware, like a camera that signs every picture you take, so not even you can tamper with it without invalidating that signature. Naively, then, a signed picture would be proof that it was a real picture taken of a real thing. What GP is saying is that people would inevitably get the keys from the cameras, and then the whole thing would be pointless.
I can't help but feel sceptical about this - correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall psychiatrists/psychologists explaining emotions as a "call" to do something.

> Boredom—a call to do something I am avoiding.

This is actually an evolutionary mechanism preventing us from expending energy on things with a low probability of success. Only problem is, our brains haven't changed much over the last 200k years and they can't assess relatively recent stuff like doing taxes or filing for divorce, so these things go to the default category of "not worth doing".

One way to go around this is to imagine how you will feel when it's done - not guaranteed to help, but at least it's actionable.
> I was under the impression that warm water from the Caribbean / equitorial zones was currently brought over to Western Europe and the UK.

It does after it's gone north along the US East coast yes, then it crosses over to Europe, but it's obviously not as hot anymore having dumped some of its heat into the US and the North Atlantic.

There's no current that goes directly from the equatorial regions straight up to the west coast of Europe.

There is a well-worn joke in the economics profession that involves two economists – one young and one old – walking down the street together:

The young economist looks down and sees a $20 bill on the street and says, “Hey, look a twenty-dollar bill!”

Without even looking, his older and wiser colleague replies, “Nonsense. If there had been a twenty-dollar lying on the street, someone would have already picked it up by now.”
I can't believe how many haters there are of Technical Analysis here. Perhaps the connotation and possibly the meaning of the term has changed in recent years. I've been using Technical Analysis since I read Stan Weinstein's book here (https://www.amazon.com/Stan-Weinsteins-Secrets-Profiting-Mar...) and as you can probably tell from the cover, this is not a new concept. I can't remember whether Stan actually refers to it as TA, but that's what it is. Here is what it comes down to:

Using TA, we can better determine when a stock is in the process of becoming more valuable aka trending up. We also can observe when it's likely that a stock will not become more valuable (the top) and even when a stock is likely to become less valuable (trending down).

Things like moving average crossovers might work for some people. I'm sure there are people out there that swear by the MESA Sine Wave or some obscure study like that. Personally I've had more success just keeping it as simple as possible, and that's what you might find in Stan's book (which is not a referral link, and I'm sure you can find the information elsewhere).

This works because of Efficient Market Theory, which I do subscribe to. It doesn't invalidate other means of choosing investments, but for certain minds, it provides a good framework for making decisions. That's really why I'm confused about all the hate for TA in here: I was under the impression that hackers like to make decisions based on data. Maybe WallStreetBets has given it a bad name or something.
I agree completely.

But the asker is very clearly a newbie. The question does not contain further context. The asker's suggestion is wrong (I think). And we've all worked with junior engineers who try to use the wrong tool.

Would you fall into the camp of "make it universally cheaper"? Or carve up the feature set into more tiers with different prices? Curious how you would divvy things up, if the latter.

I do also grant general discounts on request (info on pricing page).

You're probably right about the enterprise / benefits angle, but at the moment I wouldn't have a clue how to actually go about it. Enterprise sales is the kind of thing I always imagined you might need a team (and a lot of time and pitching) to pull off... True or false?
Again, not a positive vision there: initially increasing costs with a very long payoff period (and also having to live through the change already backed into the climate for quite some time)?

That cannot the best we can do - there has to be more we can get out of an energy transition. For example, could have an explicit policy of wanting lower energy costs in high cost places.
If 99 labs reproduce the results and 1 doesn't, my guess would be that the one lab screwed up.

Falcon 9 and STS do not have the same capabilities. F9 can match STS on payload but only if the booster is expended. With booster recovery F9 payload to LEO is ~25% less than STS. Falcon 9 has no capability to recover payload from space like STS [1]. They're different vehicles with different missions. We didn't need the shuttle anymore so we reallocated resources. All the F9 ISS missions are only happening because we had STS to build the ISS in the first place.

I've been in the business for almost 20 years. I've been hired for positions where I don't even code in the required language, and the employer depends on me to learn it on the go. Until recently I've never had trouble securing a job. But I've been on the market now for about 2 years. I often can't even score an interview, even for jobs that exactly match my qualifications.

I'm over 40, so I must assume ageism is a factor, but even in light of that, this tech job market feels like a desert.
