What the Finance Industry Tells Us About the Future of AI
Much like how I've gotten onto a PDP-11 kick - yeah, it would be neat to have my own 11/70, but the power and space requirements would be insane, I'd have to track down rare and expensive pieces, and I don't have quite the skill set to debug/repair old hardware to the component level. SIMH it is (and it has a zillion other emulators as well).

Modern hardware can emulate an 11 much faster than any real one ever built. RSTS/E installs in seconds when your "disk" is NVMe and you don't have to wait for a DECwriter II console at 30 cps.
Airbyte Now Supports Vector Databases Powered by LangChain – Airbyte
It's been a while since I used this tool, but as best I can recall there was a way to provide usage estimates to feed the variable cost calculations. The biggest problem we had was getting development teams to know and care enough to provide accurate numbers. The suggestion in the post below to provide 30 days historical data as a starting point could be a great way to have a meaningful baseline. If someone had better projections, they could provide them, but at least it wouldn't be a total crapshoot.
Learning Svelte 4 is no different than learning Svelte 3, the changes are almost entirely behind the curtains. Apparently Svelte 5 will also be very minimal breaking changes, so any knowledge will pass over trivially.

In other words, invest all your time in learning svelte :>

FWIW I've been a part of a company where, at a ~60 person engineering team, it worked well as a supplement for documentation. For big projects, planning, etc, we used Confluence and other actual documentation tools. However, for things like debugging, local env stuff, and dev ops tribal knowledge, slack public channels + search was a god send.
A bit incongruous that they blame poor diet and lack of excercise, and then feature the case of Bronny James, an athlete raised in a very wealthy family.
Hello from Ares
With fear of creating another Putnam moment on HN what exactly did you do that is so much greater than Ubuntu?
The worst sort of "elephant in the room" journalism -- everything is to blame, but that obvious thing that everyone took leading to an enormous, never-seen-before statistical anomaly. But it's not that thing. We're sure.
Have seen similar. IMHO it falls under the umbrella HR created to keep us from discussing salary, too. A completely legal (US) thing employees can do.
That argument always gets used as a threat which makes no sense. Outsourcing has been a thing for decades. If they were remotely serious they would have done so already and reaped the premiums. They don't so the only response is to put up or shut up, and they sure aren't putting up.
What kind of space did you find and how did you pitch it? The other employee lived in the same town already?

I'd like to do this as well.
No, you really couldn't.
Similarly, 'factitious' sounds like it should be an antonym to 'fictitious', but it very much isn't. And 'factious' is another thing entirely.
Is there a reason you didn't add them when making the shared API?
I'm not sure whether we did or not. Please don't hesitate to contact support for a refund of remaining time in case you've decided to switch providers.
> "You won't always be able to opt out y'know"

What a strange thing to say. Maybe not, but you are able to opt out right now, and that's what matters most at that moment.
"crowdsourced"
Pardon my ignorance, but what’s MBB?
That's a large part of it. It's especially works well to get rid of people who are older and have families, and keep mostly fresh college graduates and singles. And those usually have a lower salaries, we're getting fresh employees who are lower cost, everything looks great on paper.

Except that the first people who would leave might also be the good experienced engineers, but that loss is a little hard to see on paper at first, to predict and so it doesn't get accounted for very well.
After years of thinkpieces about RTO, my take now is "why is this up to employers at all?" Workers should get to pick their environments and their tradeoffs. If I super enjoy a collaborative open office space I should be able to find one. If I super enjoy a 100% remote/asynchronous configuration I should be able to find that too.

So much of this libertarian/right-wing/capitalist junk is ironically top-down and authoritarian. Maybe WFH is bad for innovation, or maybe RTO is bad for focus and thus innovation. Let's let the market sort it out, including the labor market.
Does anyone else just have zero faith in this? If I came in to a gold plated office, our own barista, private rooms and a massage therapist, I'd love it. And I'd expect it all to disappear as soon as corporate got what they wanted...

People all too often forget that there is often a lot of extra documentation hidden in /usr/share/doc/ when you install -doc packages, at least on deb systems, and not just info and manpages. For example, the bash manual you cite is in /usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf along with its html version as bashref.html. There is also an /example/ folder filled with commented programs and functions to serve as reference. And a README that suggests looking for "Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide" which is a massive online book filled with all sorts of esoteric knowledge. You can also find things like the release changelogs and one that details incompatibilities from previous versions.

While there are exceptions, most packages have useful goodies in there to check first before one has to think about looking things up online.
Asking about high school is ridiculous, but how is it age-ist? They had high schools back in the old days, too.
No, thanks. If you want happy productive desk workers, give them their own desks, their own shelves, and possibly even their own blackboards.

Even ignoring increased happiness, this enables giving employees their own tools: keyboards, chairs, monitors, workstations, tea, oscilloscopes, papers, etc.

Your employer should actually pay you more to WFH.

Aside from saving them rent on the office space, you should be able to expense several office-supply things that they would have provided previously. Office chair and desk, internet bill (pro-rated by usage), maybe printer ink.
Class is in no way related to salary.
I knew about this part of the law too, and it sounds like captchas don't count as "strictly necessary" based on the original part and the Opinion 04/2012 on Cookie Consent Exemption you linked, but I'm not sure.

"Simply using a cookie to assist, speed up or regulate the transmission of a
communication over an electronic communications network is not sufficient. The
transmission of the communication must not be possible without the use of the cookie." - criterion A
"A cookie is necessary to provide a specific functionality to the user (or subscriber): if
cookies are disabled, the functionality will not be available." - B

For B, they say for example that a session ID to keep a user logged in is fair to use without asking, provided the user explicitly wanted to log in.
When I lived close to my office, I found the office became an extension of my home. I don't mean that I took my work home with me, or worked longer hours. I mean that I found myself crossing the street and going into my office on weekends, to work on personal projects, or sometimes just to watch movies or play video games on my laptop. The office started to function like a second living room. It was weird and did not last long, but it was sort of nice. Occasionally someone would be there, working on the weekend, and they all thought I was a really dedicated employee because I was always there too.
VPN port forwarding is, by and large, used for BitTorrent because you can't seed without it. VPNs are used for BitTorrent in general because it's well-known that IPs participating in BitTorrent are monitored and logged by anyone who wants to[0]. I bet it's at least 100 BitTorrent users for every 1 user using port forwarding for any other purpose.

Oh God, yes! I'm old enough to remember when people thought it was important to have quiet and privacy to think.

I used to love my job. All my life I've loved programming, and I used to love being able to solve other people's problems for them by doing the thing I love.

And I used to love being surrounded by other people who were interested in the same things as me, all collaborating on a project to make something useful.

The open-plan curse killed it for me. For years I've done as little paid work as I can get away with because I hate trying to think in an open-plan horror so much. It's like having my brain in a blender.

I still program, and think, a lot, but I only do it for other people when I need the money.
Show HN: BobbyChat MVP – Helping You Navigate Work Place Stress
Hi we're Toni (ex-Google DeepMind) and Claire (GP & Burnout expert) co-founders of BobbyChat!

Our mission is to solve workplace burnout by making coaching and talking therapies accessible to everyone.

We started in May are looking to get feedback on an MVP we are developing. There's nothing to download, you just provide your phone number and you will be connected to Bobby via WhatsApp.

We kindly ask that you use Bobby to talk about what's on your mind, rather than actively try to break it... we're not far along enough yet for that kind of feedback to be useful. We'll re-share Bobby when we are ready for red-teaming!

Connect to Bobby at bobby-chat.com .

We are grateful for any feedback, but specifically we want to understand the following:
1. How easy was it to connect to Bobby?
2. Did you know how to start a second conversation with Bobby?
3. How did you find the interaction?
> counted word occurrences and presented statistics about them. I don't think you even need fair use for this, because this is something you obviously are allowed to do, without any permissions

You're pretty much describing exactly what an LLM "learns" about text. I agree that it should obviously fall under fair use, but as the author of this article found out, there are quite a few who (very vocally) disagree.
Why are you pretending this analyst is the same or even should have the same affordances as the CEO? You might be shocked to find out the CEO even gets paid more!

Most people come up through the ranks and you can bet the CEO was one time an analyst with a demanding boss. After decades of work he made it to boss. You see this everywhere where you move up the ranks and things get better. That's the apprentice deal for all of history.

Part of his compensation is relative flexibility although I'm almost certain c suite often work a lot more and have higher demands than junior employees.

If you're very valuable to the firm (e.g. CEO) you can get away with more stuff. It's the natural order of things. I don't really see any other way around it apart from a dehumanizing process to treat everyone exactly the same regardless of capabilities
I agreed with you in the first half, that we won't ever make it to "sci fi space defense", but not because humans don't persist.

More likely we never make it there because of a host of other, more boring reasons, mostly; we won't need anything like it.

Who, exactly are we defending ourselves against? A once-in-a-million-years impact that this very test showed we have a conceptual means of resolving?
Based on my teenager and her friends, it's mostly collecting enamel pins and stickers. They have a collage of stickers on nearly everything they own and most especially their phone case. The other thing they do is relentlessly curate their Instagram profile, including doing things like posting photos in such a way that they form a triptych or similar on the main profile view.
Yes, even well paid worker bees are still worker bees.

The queen bee who owns a share of the hive, decides how many bees to hire/fire, where they work, when they work, what % of the honey to share with the worker bees, etc.. now thats a different class.
I presume you mean the pandemic? I've had a similar complaint on a lot of analysis lately. People are looking to blame a ton of the previous few years trends in terms of anything but that. It is very weird.
Wouldn't designing your own cores be on a whole other level compared to what Amazon is doing now (licensing Neoverse)? If they don't feel confident they could build a competitive ARM core on their own (unlike Ampere which seems to be trying that) why would it be different with RISC-V which is still years behind ARM (on the high-end)?
The only thing better than being able to blame the compiler for something, is being able to blame the CPU

Because one thing about the generative models is that you could in theory get the model to recite copyrighted work, word by word.
Browsers don’t do that today and the result is that AD networks fingerprint and track you to try and serve you more relevant content.

The argument from supporters is that this is a step away from the “fingerprint and track” status quo MO. The argument from detractors is that it doesn't quite achieve that goal.

All you need to address your concern is for access to the API to be user-configurable.
A 150k-250k analyst isn’t upper class. Nor is it really middle-class (although that would depend on the cost of living).

It’s that weird in-between, where one still needs to earn a living and make even more money for someone else.

A 25M / year CEO is far past "earning a living" and really only works because they want to.

> The push for open-plan spaces was motivated by cost-cutting.

I think that it was just as motivated by the way you can walk a potential investor (or a worried current investor) through them, and make grand gestures with your arm indicating all of the busy beavers working on making things happen. Then the group can be walked from rockstar ninja to rockstar ninja, looking over shoulders at unintelligible screens, while having smoke blown up their asses.

An open-plan office is primarily a theatrically staged office. 20 years ago I was paid as a temp to sit in one and type random numbers into a noisy electric printing calculator while a random spreadsheet was on the screen. After a few hours, a small group walked in, led by a man who was obviously giving a presentation, with wide gestures of his arms. They were in the room for two or three minutes before being led out. Twenty minutes after they left the room, we were mostly dismissed, except for the younger guys (like me) who were offered a few hours more work moving boxes.

The end of free money might make open plan offices more popular among a certain type of company.
Are you attributing the decade-long annual 2% increase in heart attacks among young people to the COVID vaccine?

> A study of more than 2,000 young adults admitted for heart attack between 2000 and 2016 in two U.S. hospitals found that 1 in 5 were 40 years old or younger—and that the proportion of this group has been increasing by 2 percent each year for the last decade.

But anyway, yes COVID itself is also a potential culprit and yeah, the vaccines also should be monitored closely. In fact both are analyzed every day for this type of signal. Please publish a paper if you found some (not gleaned from the vibes around popular news articles).
It's not even that. Those coal plants are just backup, as their hydropower-plants had big trouble for some reason years ago.
I'm going to consolidate replies to all three of your comments here and only going to address specific salient points that I think are the crux of disagreements:

Re: Bayesian inference and logic

To clarify, I was informally referring to the standard correspondence with propositional logic [1], but generalizations of this to include quantifiers also seem possible [2].

That said, I agree that my simple sketch is not a good justification for Solomonoff Induction, so a poor attempt at a summary on my part.

Re: A "system" is not a function. I don't know a formal definition of a system, but if you're talking about whatever the human brain is doing that's likely to be more easily modelled as a Turing machine.

If you agree that a system can be modelled as a function, then there's a formal equivalence. That's what "is" means to me.

Certainly you can insist on a definition for "is" that's more like a small-step operational semantics to more faithfully model internals, but for the purposes of this discussion, I don't think the internal details matter if the observable inputs and outputs are the same. If a human brain "is" equivalent to some Turing machine, then I can also say that it "is" equivalent to some term in the lambda calculus.

Re: If, by any chance, you think of the brain as a universal Turing machine (UTM)

The brain can be described by a finite state automaton due to the Bekenstein Bound. So it's not a universal Turing machine, strictly speaking. Certainly it would be interesting to know how the internals of the brain work in minute detail, but that's ambitious.

Re: They have consistently failed because the pieces of the puzzle don't fit.

I'm curious specifically what doesn't fit. I understand there's tension between logic and probability, and learning and human-like reasoning are obviously still burgeoning fields, but the rest seem fairly well explored with plenty of correspondences.

Re: I think in modern machine learning people have simply given up on trying to make any coherent image out of the puzzle pieces and just bashed them until they yielded and are now wedged together in incongruous patterns that sort of show some kind of image, there.

Which is kinda what you'd expect from evolution by natural selection.
