Serious is when you talk about getting everyone (esp. like Coca Cola and Nestle) to stop using tons of plastic in packaging before you talk about recycling those tons.

Recycling [edit: plastic] is a losing game. It degrades during recycling and its uses are limited. The only winning move is to not generate waste unnecessarily unless it biodegrades quickly on human timescales or is at least non-toxic.

There's a lot of bullshit in recycling industry that it's hard to take claims at face value anymore. The whole industry sometimes look like one big virtue signaling and PR campaign to get more subsidies from the gov. 200 tons per hour doesn't say much about what it recycles to, how can it be used, how much micro and nanoplastics it puts out into the environment as side effect, if you didn't just put it all on a ship and sent off to Malaysia. And ramping up to 200 tons per hour while manufacturers are ramping up to 200 tons per minute would be a waste of time and resources compared to talking to those manufacturers in the first place, why do they get to do it?

And the deeper problem is that it's all great from economic perspective if more stuff is produced, more money is spent, people are busy, jobs are created, cogs are spinning, I mean another whole industry to clean up after one shitty industry? is it christmas already?! can't wait for the nanoplastics cleanup industry next! as long as Coca Cola and friends keep churning out more and more plastic, there will be enough things to do to keep everyone busy and productive!

As far as I understand a Hefeweizen is put into the bottle with live yeast, which continue the fermentation and create the characteristic thick foam. So indeed, in that case, you cannot have that effect without alcoholic fermentation.

But I am more of a Pilsener guy, and there are a few good alcohol free Pils which I am convinced would taste like the "real deal" with the added taste of alcohol.

People boycott things all the time for all kinds of reasons. Some people boycott Israeli businesses due to the Israel/Palestine conflict, other people boycott MyPillow, and others boycott Chik-Fil-A, or more recently Budweiser. The outrage here on HN is a bit annoying, considering this used to be a fairly balanced platform.

As a consumer, boycotting a business is basically the only recourse for whatever grievance (justified or not) you may have which happens to be outside the purview of the law. Or is boycotting not petty only when your tribe does it?

Its not an "AI-killer-app" thats the real deal I think. Its that these AI tools (esp LLMs) are truly powerful tools in everyday work now. Automating stuff is a breeze now whereas it was much more involved before. Data classification, content/code creation, data transformation, ... typical jobs for software engineers boil down to this. Its only a prompt now you fire against an API. Automating tasks that used to require human clerks is now a few hours/days of creative coding and the tasks are gone.

A surprising amount of work can tolerate a percentage of errors in a non-deterministic way, even before considering that humans make even more errors that way usually. :-)

I never knew there was a Wikipedia package!
You want to separate e.g. iron from the trash before burning. I even think you can separate aluminum.

Plastic is not a raw material really. It is probably better to burn it instead of doing landfills with it waiting for some miracle bacteria.

We could use paper and cardboard for most plastic packaging and many uses of plastic packaging is useless, like those hard plastics around scissors or whatever in the store.

As a followup on LLama2's prompting, here's a good thread with some more details: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/155po2p/get_lla... (see also: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1561vn5/here_is... - it's a bit complex and people are still wrapping their heads around it)

Note, it is possible to reinject 
 prompts during the conversation to keep the LLM on target: https://twitter.com/overlordayn/status/1681631554672513025 (but obviously this should be the first thing you filter and track if you are running an LLM that is accessible to end-users - rebuff is a lib w/ some good ideas to start with)

With new fine tunes coming out, it's worth noting again that different datasets/models all use slightly different prompt formats (many are using multiple datasets these days, so it's hard to say just how much it matters now): https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/13lwwux/comment...

Ideally, fine tunes for LLama2 would regularize all datasets to the official tokens/format and inference interfaces could standardize too (or there could be some metadata collected for what model uses what, but some of the low hanging fruit that's out for the future I guess). One other thing to keep in mind is that all the benchmarks/leaderboards don't use instruct formatting at all, and don't really represent capabilities for a model. IMO, ELO-style rankings against models for specific tasks would probably be more representative.

> Extreme lack of abundance causes survival bias: dead men tell no tales.

Not really; that would require everyone to die. But mostly famines have survivors, and their experience of the famine was not "I don't see what everyone else was complaining about".
Since when is Github non-profit?
Do you have any academic or even non academic reference for this so called biological negativity bias? My entire life experience has been that people are too optimistic for their own good not the other way around.
Some tools do the same with --verbose, so it's not without precedent.

Of course, it's a measure of last resort, but there's not reason not to let root do it (i.e. expose an interface to the syscalls that already exist).
> Is global routing really the problem in 2023?

I don't think so, why? I was talking about migrating from v4 on the day 0, when every single ip-speaking device used v4 only. My point was that on day 0 the main problem was global routing, because the new protocol should have got hardware support and all the network equipment should have been replaced. Local networks migration is much easier to do.

> Do you know of any networks which are still on IPv4?

I managed networks for around 15 years, up until 2018 and I've never managed an IPv6 network in my whole career. My current company (a well-known company from SF) runs v4 only network. I think the question should be different: what is the motivation for sysadmins and the business to migrate to v6, if v4 runs perfectly fine? And the answer is - there's basically none.
That’s a classic tech will fix it narrative. The likelihood of us making it off the planet at a scale that matters to common people is basically zero.

It’s arguing on faith that we will move of the planet to defer living sustainably on the one we have which is a classic ruse to e able people to rationalize not changing lifestyles.

Absolutely agree boycotting is a great way to tell a business you're not happy with something they do.

But if many people think you are being petty/bonkers/anti-something-they-care-about based on why you are boycotting particular businesses, that might cause you some trouble.

> Or is boycotting not petty only when your tribe does it?

There are certainly some boycotts I don't participate in, but respect the decision of those who do.

Boycotting is petty when people think it's petty (pettiness is an opinion, not an intrinsic property of something). If you want to talk about "tribes", sure, maybe a particular "tribe" thinks some particular boycott is petty. That's life.
When you make stuff the order is usually the other way around - someone finds your work, then gets interested in the person behind it.

If you make it easy for someone doing so to get in contact about job opportunities and make it clear you’re open to them, you’ll often start to get some.

(Obvious disclaimer all views are my own and not my employer's)

First, let me say that I don't disagree, pragmatically, with the truth of what you're saying, in terms of increasing your odds on the whole as a candidate.

But that said, as another hiring manager, let me respectfully disagree with this as a strong hiring signal. I say this, to boot, as an engineer with an, in my experience, above average OSS contribution, research, and patent portfolio, although these things are a bit power-law-esque so obviously I'm nothing next to many.

When I interview, I want to know you have a track record of high quality delivery, and are good for the skills you attest to. I can understand some folks looking at the public displays as a proxy to that, but I'd argue, at that point, indexing on the "public" part is orthogonal to what we're looking for it to display, and carries both false positives and negatives.

To some degree we may be agreeing loudly here, where you'd say "well that's what them putting it in public is" but I'd worry that by caring about the public component vs. a more generalized examination of professionalism and accomplishment, we preclude folks who have no time or interest in curating that sort of profile.

If I put myself into the absolute edge case of two candidates all things being equal but one seems to have also made a more visible portfolio of work, MAYBE, MAYBE that would move the needle in terms of establishing a degree of external validation, but I think I'd be looking _hard_ for other aspects to differentiate that would seem to have more direct applicability to our day-to-day needs, and am hard pressed to think of a time in the last few hundred interviews I've had to make such a choice without a stronger differentiator for any candidate above a very junior level.
I don't understand why the felt the need to add precomposed characters for Hangul. Why? Why couldn't they just let the system compose them instead?
I completely agree that here are lots of great developers without a public figure.

However, having one gives the interviewer some additional insights about you. While no candidate should be discarded for not having public code, I don't think dismissing it completely without even looking at it is correct, because you are discarding a great source of information about a candidate.

Note that the insight could even be negative (such as a candidate applying to a senior position with sub-par public code recently written)
That's a slippery slope argument which doesn't hold up. There are many endgames and goals. Managed properly, the human population will equal 0 someday because we will have further evolved into something else.
> Well, I teach English as a second language in a non-English speaking country. I often used short essays and diary-writing for homework. The students have had lots of English input over the years, but not much experience with output. So, writing assignments work out very well for them. Alas, with ChatGPT on the rise here, they no longer have to write it themselves.

If your students want to betray themselves of the possible learning opportunities of attempting to formulate the sentences by themselves in English, it is their problem.

The same holds in mathematics (degree course): of course, in the first semesters, you can use a computer algebra system like Maple or Mathematica for computing the integrals on your exercise sheets, but you will betray yourself of the practice of computing integrals that these exercise sheets are supposed to teach you.
Yes please, something that doesn't have files, or processes. Both are too low level and require us to write or use enormous amounts of code to do very simple tasks that are performed by almost all applications. Very wasteful.

But lets stay away from adding another layer for our nice new abstraction. A new layer means the old ones are still there are will be used because programmers are lazy. It's usually easier to reuse someone else's code (that access the old layers) or reuse old methods and algorithms. In both cases, we're moving back towards the old stuff, the stuff we want to leave behind.
> The net effect is a way to scale transistor size that doesn’t rely on EUV, and what’s more, this shrink will be the equivalent of 2 generations of EUV shrinkage.. That’s huge and now it’s pretty much the roadmap for future semiconductor scaling.

This is a significant point. The future of VLSI is likely not going to be just about shrinking transistors. We have to think about how feasible it is to fit so many transistors in such a small area, and all of the fundamental limitations that poses. It's possible that there will be an major secondary development pathway regarding how to provide power to transistors for future fabrication nodes. Backside power delivery may deliver as big if not bigger gains than simple shrinking of transistor sizes for the next few nodes.
It shouldn't take any. This hiring attitude discriminates against (not an exclusive list) parents, people with caring responsibilities, and those that find "public creativity" difficult due to personality traits or medical issues. It cements the "tech bro" culture. It stifles diversity. Just hire people that can do the job you're paying them for. I don't ask my plumber to show me their blog posts.

Recycling plastic is a pile of garbage.
While your examples like rare earths, uranium and lithium are indeed among the chemical elements that are not very rare (though the differences in abundance between various kinds of rare earths are very large), any engineer should better be well aware about the natural abundances of the elements and in all new designs less abundant elements shall never be used instead of more abundant elements, unless this is really unavoidable.

Some elements are indeed so abundant that they can be used without any worries, like carbon, iron, aluminum, calcium, sodium and more than a dozen others.

The elements with medium abundance, like lithium, are available in quantities that are many thousand times less than the abundant elements, so even if we should be able to use enough of them to cover all our needs, if such elements would constitute e.g. one percent or more of the average composition of all the things we have, then that would mean that it is likely that they are used in quantities that are too large to be sustainable.

The less abundant elements are available only in quantities that are many million times less than the abundant elements, so they should never be used without first making sure that it is impossible to substitute them.

Nowadays, a lot of people all over the world have to spend a lot of work with the search of more abundant substitutes for less abundant elements.

Much of this work could have been avoided if better choices had been made in the past. The reason why many bad choices have been possible is that the costs for most chemical elements that are included in a product are fake, they include only the smaller cost for mining, processing and transportation before the product is made, without adding the greater costs that would be needed for the recovery of the element from an end-of-life product and for repairing the environmental damage caused by its mining.

The payment of these extra costs has been pushed into the future, when someone else will have to pay them, instead of the users of the elements mined now.

Genetic differences can alter caffeine metabolism significantly, reducing half-life by up to 80% (which has a huge impact since it’s typically 5-6 half-lives to “flush” a drug out of your system).

Basically it may take some individuals 48 hours to metabolize all caffeine while others may do it in 10 hours.

I think your commands are kind of muddled. By `npm run export`, I assume you are referring to `expo export`? That is responsible for bundling your app for OTA updates. `expo build` is the deprecated method for building your Expo app with the old ExpoKit native shell app. Only `eas build --local` is the actual command for locally building your app.

Perhaps the issue you're thinking about was what I linked to in my other comment?

By my own thinking, I believe it's quite unlikely that Expo will ever manage to actually totally remove support for local builds, even though they probably will never encourage it; as otherwise, its really quite impossible to debug native builds, and indeed local builds are Expo's recommendation for debugging such issues. With regular React Native native dependencies now possible in Expo, a dizzying new array of hard to diagnose bugs can now be triggered, and its unlikely Expo is ever going to go back on their support for arbitrary native dependencies.

Do you think the extraction of resources created wealth and progress at home and abroad?

I have it fixed in my head that progress generally requires an external catalyst. In 2023, it would be very controversial to suggest Europe and the historical colonies are both wealthier as a result.

I find flame graphs misleading with regard to sizes, because what you primarily perceive as big is the area (width x height), whereas the actual value is just the width. In profiler output, for example, the same time usage can appear bigger or smaller depending on how deep the call graph is nested and on how (non-)"branchy" it is. Flame graphs show useful info, but you have to consciously disregard the area sizes.
One thing that people don't realise about economic collapse is that immigration is a band-aid that will stop working soon. In fact a lot of middle-income countries are faring much worse than western countries, for example some cherry-picked births per woman numbers:

Brazil: 1.63
US: 1.66
France: 1.83
Sweden: 1.67
India: 2.03
China: 1.16
Thailand: 1.33

People in rich countries are having more children on average than middle-income countries. A lot of people are saying that subsiding children (free daycare, free schools, free healthcare, stipends, etc) is not working, but the data seems clear to me. It does work, but it is not enough to keep replacement births going . Especially when you look at the trends of births per woman in those countries).

Within our lifetimes I think we will see reverse immigration, rich-country people moving to middle-income countries for jobs in order to exploit natural resources because there are too little locals to do it. And rich countries removing barriers for immigration and still have trouble getting people to move in.

I would be very surprised if AMD isn't looking into "HBM-lite", i.e. same 2.5D structure, but instead of the parallel HBM interface, using a serial IF/GMI interface (fewer pins, higher frequency), so that you can mount it on a much cheaper organic (PCB) interposer.
