Yes it does feel inverted and rightfully so. Because of that, juniors are net-negative by default which surprises most teams when they hire junior devs for the first time.

We are not fully there yet, but you can see from the Open Source PRs above that its good enough that this can make an in-house team more productive than the default.

Biggest part that makes it work are enabling multiple devs to review each other, solid QA and dev environments to reduce hand-holding and a community to grow and learn from.

Larger corps like Google already have this infra setup, but most teams cant afford to build it internally.
This is why I prefer "informed consent" over "permission". And even "informed consent" is redundant, as it's not possible to provide real consent if you're not fully informed about what you're being asked to consent to.
>>With the right infrastructure, at least!

That —the right infrastructure— is the key!

I live in the northeast US, and used to road bike very heavily both as off-season training for ski racing and also road bicycle racing. I had a few close calls at the time, but now, the traffic is so much heavier and more aggressive that I don't bike on the roads at all, only mtn biking (small exception for short road segments of a longer mtn bike ride in a very rural area).

I have a 5mi commute to work which would be perfect for an e-bike or e-scooter, but the way the cars behave, I feel like it is just playing Russian Roulette.

It's really sad, as either better infrastructure or a better trained/more considerate driver population would fix it, but neither is likely soon.

So, I'm stuck hauling two tons of steel to and fro every day just to get me and my laptop to work and to home...
It's scam, right??

Right.

The scam here is the extra fees and possible exchange rate manipulation.

You can use fiat or you can use crypto and pay more.

Which one are you going to choose? This "stablecoin" is just a ruse to charge crypto bros extra fees.
KSP's Kraken pretty much proves their point, no?

Simulating human-scale physics in a solar-system-scale world needs far more than 8 decimal digits. Neptune's orbit is 12 orders of magnitude larger than your spacecraft, no wonder your floats are acting up. You're going to need at least 50-bit precision to make your simulations accurate to the millimeter.

If anything, the fact that KSP is pretty much the only game with serious float issues shows that doubles are just fine for most applications.
Why do you use it to travel a route you go every day and know you know better than the app?
Yes but if your numbers are constant you can still pay dividends, as long as you're profitable, while if you need to provide capital gains you need to increase the numbers so the share price will go up.

This is before taking into account how these things are taxed.

Edit: you changed your comment :) I answered the previous version.

Edit 2: and even a pension fund could take their dividends and reinvest them. But I guess that would be too much work.
None, this is wildly undefined behavior, even considering GCC's extension and its documentation. I doubt that GCC implementers would be interested in defining the behavior here.

edit:
There might be room for some other extension here, but as an other commenter already wrote:

1. functions might not be contiguous in memory

2. the code that you are moving should better be position independent

So any such extension should handle these issues one way or an other.
Rare case that I'll support the parent of your post - I'd way rather a Canadian company get the upside than a US (foreign) one even if the Canadian ones are a bunch of assholes and an oligopoly. That's our problem to deal with.

First keep the money here, then we'll argue how to redistribute it. News is a tricky subject. In theory there are more clicks but sometimes people don't visit the site at all so it's hard to say.

If this was about diversifying communications providers I think I would side with you instead. It really depends what it is.

I would prefer my domestic companies to be in the strongest position while also allowing outside players - so a mixture. But we are hopelessly on the back leg and need a boost when it comes to funding domestic media. The solution can't be to just outsource everything because there's no way to win against Meta and Google.
You mean to avoid payment.
Oh please. Yes let’s take a good story and use it as an opportunity to get on our soap box and grandstand.
Any information about how long it takes to achieve a fine tune comparable to OpenAI's current fine tunes of ada models? On consumer hardware vs cloud? OpenAI's fine tune times are on the order of hours for tens of thousands of samples, but expensive. Any information on the effort and time involved in fine tuning compared to OpenAI's current process would be appreciated.

The main difference is that with electric vehicles you can mostly charge at home. The only time you need a station is on a long trip. So much less demand on these than gas stations.
Probably less demand for remote outsourcing back in 2019 as today, post-pandemic
I don't think buying twitter is unserious. He said he bought it so he can remove the insane left wing bias twitter has.

Regimes shut down twitter because it's another avenue of communication. Whether the general discourse on twitter is serious or not has nothing to do with that. A rebellion may as well use toy walkie talkies if they would be effective. That doesn't mean toy walkie talkies are a serious product. An unserious product can be used for serious purposes. That doesn't mean you should take that product or service to be, in general, serious.

The Central Binomial Coefficient and Laplace's Method
Erlang is very nice. I prefer it for writing libraries nowadays. It’s much easier to use Erlang from Elixir than the other way around.
It's also about telemetry itself. That this telemetry is obviously overly expansive just increases how objectionable the practice is.
I don't know about more secure, or even practical.. But when I use stuff like this it makes me feel sneaky and clandestine.
It's available now, PerfectCircuit has it in stock: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/expressive-e-osmose.html

The presets make really good use of the poly-aftertouch, which is way more comfortable than on my Hydrasynth Explorer. For pitch bend/vibrato the Osmose relies on the sideways key motion.

Personally I'm a long-time piano player just lately getting into synths and recording, so I'm not sure how I'll use it exactly. But I'm envisioning uses similar to lead electric guitars, or expressive acoustic instruments. Or dialing down the pitch bend sensitivity and using it like Vangelis used the CS-80.

Biological male draft has always made sense from a population maintenance standpoint. If you did a biological female draft only you'd see an even more massive population drop from any hot war that you see with a male-only draft.
“99%” when used like this is essentially an expression in English, for “almost all” or “almost certain.” It is very hard to believe that they have the actual statistic or that it happens to be exactly 99%, so I wouldn’t worry about anybody getting mixed up.
As a photographer I am looking forward to it.

I process photos in ProPhoto RGB and I’m in the process of switching up my process to always publish images to the web as Display P3 which can be done just fine in JPEG and WEBP by attaching a color profile.

Display P3 is moderately larger than the old standard sRGB; you are trading some color resolution in the “mainstream” area for more saturated greens and reds.

4K TV’s use Rec 2020 which has a huge color gamut, because it is covering a bigger space, 8-bit color is not enough, you need to go to 10-bit, 12-bit or more (I process in 16 bits) and neither JPEG or WEBP can handle that. AVIF can, but so can JPEG XL.

I know people doing synthetic tests (instead of looking at the image they run a program that estimates how bad compression artifacts are) are impressed with AVIF but I’ve done some shootouts with JPEG/WEBP/AVIF/JPEG XL where I look at images with my own eyes.

For pictures that are moderate-low quality (say images for a blog) I think AVIF does very well, but I want to publish pictures I took with my mirrorless where I work really hard to get them “tack sharp” (e.g. sometimes a 4000x6000 image w/ my Sony looks almost like pixel art when you blow it up) and I want people to see something consistent with that on the web. And my experience is that AVIF falls down at that, it does not really save bits compared to JPEG and WEBP at high quality. JPEG XL gives superior compression at high quality and it supports high color depths and it’s an option I’d really like to have.

China has only 10% of the world's arable land yet produces a quarter of the global grain output and leads the planet in the production of cereals, cotton, fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, eggs, and fishery products, according to FAO. [0]

China is more than 100% self sufficient on essential food (rice and other grains). China does import a large amount of soybean for fodder. If anything, I think Chinese eat too much nowadys and become as wasteful in food as Americans. When I visit China, I don't like the fact that many families have pets (dog, cat, and etc) just like here in US.

It's great that you are engaging and writing about this, many thanks.

While your blog is interesting, it doesn't change the impact of the Terms of Service as currently written. They seem to give you the freedom to train your current and future AI/ML capabilities using any Customer Content (10.4), and your terms apparently have your users warrant that doing so will not infringe any rights (10.6).

Perhaps your terms of use should reflect your current practices rather than leaving scope for those practices to vary without users realising? Will you be changing them following all this feedback?

If recognizing that society is unfair is an indictment, might I suggest opening a history book, or even spending some time reading about the current affairs and policy news from literally any part of the globe? Human existence is unfair. Arguably, the mere fact we exist is a series of random occurrences that align to a local optimum for natural incentives evolving to our current state of existence. Randomness is an expression of the basic entropy of the universe and touches on the individual lives of not just humans, but every atom in every living and non-living entity on this planet (and beyond). This sometimes expresses it in the unfairness encounter in some person's life. It is hardly an indictment of society.

This is not surprising. Intel did things like ME in the past. The days where you bought the hardware and had full control over it are long gone imho

Things I would like to be able to discuss on HN without it devolving into a field of gray text:

- Global warming

Yep - we've tried most (and have teams and meet FREE).

Jitsi - core functionality issues with video quality tied to network setups perhaps make it a no go.

If you work with a lot of folks for short bits of time everyone knows how to get on and work a zoom call.

Teams has weird permissions issues, consumer vs business teams, and is forced on so many people that they auto close it (reminds me a bit of the IE pushiness which can be a turn off).

Google Meet started auto-adding links to meetings - so most folks ignore a google meet link because they don't think it's a real meeting (and 90% of time it isn't).
Yeah, that's exactly the reason why junior positions in my niche are almost non-existent. Everybody wants to have seniors or at least regulars, but a junior just means problems for everyone. And you can't be sure they will stay once they learn enough.

We used to for many years at the beginning, and over time started to try a few things to reduce it over time

We first got the more experienced junior on the repo review others. Later on, we started to enable multiple devs to work on the same PR initially, review each other and best one sent back

And with GitSlice, we have been able to take very large codebases and slice it to a smaller repo that is much easier for juniors to work on.

So now we get teachers and seniors to train juniors, but they are not in the loop of the PR execution anymore.

This is fine on desktop. It's less great on mobile.
I’m not the parent but I imagine they’re referring to e.g., some FFTs use different partitioning strategies in different threading environments, which breaks bit-perfect replication.

There’s also the weirdness that in C++ the floating point environment is thread-local, which can cause all sorts of chaos.
Replacing 3rd party scripts on my site
The only technical advantage that Google maps retains in any way is having good imagery. The rest of it (and by that I mean not only maps but the entirety of Google) is built on a fundamentally broken social contract between the products and the users.
>then the same criticism is levelled at the devs enabling them as well

It isn't. Nobody criticizes those who work at Google or Meta here. There's more talk about maximizing your TC there, than telling people not to work there.

Double standards, probably because Intel doesn't pay as good as Google/Meta so it's easy to throw stones where you don't plan to work anyway, but people stay quiet when it comes to places where they earn their wealth.
> If you did a female draft only you'd see an even more massive population drop from any hot war that you see with a male-only draft.

Not so much a greater immediate drop as a much slower bounce back.
Telemetry is wrong if it's happening without my informed consent. What data is being collected doesn't affect that. If you're collecting data about me, my machine, or my use of my machine without my informed consent, you are spying.

I've got one in use (it was my father-in-law's desktop PC when he was still alive) as a node in my k8s cluster. It's currently got a couple of Gitlab's microservices, one of Harbor's microservices, ntfy, Nextcloud, coredns, and a couple ephemeral MySQL backup processes running.
I don't see a lot of options that would preserve privacy [1]. Anything hosted by someone else would require an iron clad contract that stipulates specifically what they may and may not do with your data with serious financial consequences for a contract breach meaning it blocks all executive bonuses. I personally would not trust E2EE implemented by a cloud service run by others. I have worked along side of numerous executives that would happily violate a customer contract if the end result advances their career.

Anything self hosted would require dedicated staff and the upstream should provide a friendly development environment that could accept code contributions from all the companies that use their product. Maybe that is Jitsi based on other threads here? There seem to be mixed experiences. And that probably depends on how many people would be simultaneously using the platform as well as how many developers are going to contribute up-stream. An example of this concept was OpenStack. Many companies eventually contributed up-stream but those contributions ramped up a little late and many people already had a sour taste in their mouth. People still use it but the adoption is not what it could have been.

That only works in a polygamous society. In monogamous societies like the UK the deaths of many men in the world wars led to "marriage gaps" where a roughly equivalent number of women were unable to marry and have children.

So X people dead in war led to 2X people not reproducing. If the draft had been 50/50, then X dead would have only led to X not reproducing.

> It seems like we’re massively ignoring the infrastructure problems of mass electrification.

In the US, the number of public chargers more than doubled in 2022. New Solar added set a record. Wind generation continue to be added. Power companies continue to add new distribution lines. The White House put forward $25 Billion in federal funds for EV batteries, chargers, and related items.
I’m sure we’ll hear more about that this fall. Google certainly has a monopoly on web search and I would argue used that to unfairly compete in several other markets where they could lose money for extended periods (indefinitely?).

Is profit in a market a measure that’s ever been used to identify a monopoly? Apple has no method of controlling prices in the mobile market, so what difference does it make if they are one of the few profitable companies? That’s why I mentioned buying out fab processes, but that might be anti-competitive, but still not monopolistic.

By definition monopolies dominate a market so thoroughly that they can prevent equivalent products from being offered at lower prices. Apple does not have the power to keep mobile device prices high, despite their fab dominance (and there are other fabs that offer substitute processes).

There are dozens of cheap mobile devices that, despite low profitability, still dominate the market. Despite Jobs’ claim that the iPhone was guarded by patents, competitors with essentially the same features were available within a year of the iPhone’s release.

Does Apple have some anti-competitive practices? They’ve been found to in the past (employee recruiting between companies), and may or may not now, but that is separate from being a monopoly.
The process was not biblical, though it was fun.
Those pesky popups keep reappearing on each visit until you hit accept. Once you accept, they never bother you again. Not sure there is a way around besides aggressive anti-tracking extensions / DNS servers etc.

Langsmith would be useful in that case to see the traces for your chain. (Of course given that you are using Langchain for chaining the prompts)

Strange that someone would downvote this. Do you think HN should only have articles about computer-related topics?

I doubt I would have even encountered this article, much less ever thought about the kinds of garden issues that lead to different kinds of hoe design, without HN. It’s always fun to see the depth of culture behind a hat might seem to be a trivial topic on the surface.
I don't want to say it's always true, but every time I see that (or rather don't see a street name) and investigate it, the name is there, just not on-screen. It's still idiotic design, but if you traverse along the length of a road the name is visible, just elsewhere.

Switching to linux is a good option but the ideal solution is one where coporations do not or are not allowed to collect telemetry by default.

Microsoft has normalized default optout telemetry in the OS, IDE & developer tooling and now others are also following suit even in areas where telemetry doesn't make sense.

I wish there is an easy solution to the pervasive telemetry problem for those who can't switch for any reason.
