> Would you be supporting their right to detain arbitrary American businessmen

She was a C-suite executive of Huawei, not some random employee.

> Would you be supporting their right to detain arbitrary American businessmen for doing business with France? The same exact way you're supporting our detention of their nationals over Iran?

If an American company intentionally evaded sanctions and did something they knew China wouldn't like, and then a C-suite executive of that company traveled to China or an affiliated country and was detained, that would be entirely their fault.

I don't think you're making the point that you think you are.

That's not the reason to remove checked exceptions from Java. The reason is that exceptions don't compose - they don't play well with functional style code which otherwise works pretty well in Java.
I’m not GP, but I think you’re missing their point. They described the Canadian job as “gig” but it’s actually structured more like more traditional part time work. It sounds like you’d prefer to outlaw all part time work?

The point is true gig work allows you the flexibility to fit it around whatever else you have going on, be that part time work, starting a startup, taking care of a family, etc. of course it’s downsides and probably needs some more rules to protect the workers. But banning eliminates the opportunity entirely.

It sucks to be a freelance writer and it’s easy to get screwed; should we ban that too?
But someone who's just passing through, the founder's daughter btw, and Huawei has no manufacturing in Canada that I'm aware of?

She wasn't shipping stuff out of Canada to Iran, the problem is that Huawei generally does business there.

It's a "rule by law" situation if they're grabbing her for things her company does outside of US/Canadian borders.
"Your dad is forced to be an indentured servant for these companies"

His dad can work at anytime, anywhere and doesn't have a boss to mandate when he clocks in. How is that being an indentured servant?
The US govt seemed to play by the international rule book - they claimed that Huawei knowingly did business with Iran. From memory, Huawei didn't want to respond and execs avoided going to the US.

So the US asked Canada to detain the Huawei CFO when she had a layover in Canada. Canada didn't have much choice since it was a legal request based on some treaty. So while Huawei's expensive lawyers work to free the Huawei CFO, China suddenly picks three Canadians for extra special attention. The Canadians are dealing with jail while the Huawei CFO is in her Vancouver mansion with a monitored ankle bracelet - at least the Canadian media made it look like that.

That's how it was viewed in Canada.
Remember when people on HN were defending the treatment of gig workers as some kind of late-stage capitalist utopia where the surfs getting exploited to keep the engine of VC-welfare-fed transportation stopgaps was somehow the best thing for society?

The same thing happens with many schizophrenics on the street, if you stop to listen to them.
Can't take it anymore. Guilt, imposter syndrome, depression, and anxiety
I'm a coward. There is no denying it but I've accepted this fact. Failed out of my university's cs program, ended up majoring in something totally different. Got a software engineering job at a big name company after internships and converting to full time. Now, having worked there for a year full time, I realize I don't know anything. My job is mainly just refactoring code and I hardly have built anything from scratch. I have crippling depression from feeling like an imposter, and I never told my parents I switched my majors in uni.

These will be my final few days on earth since I'm just an incompetent piece of shit who's not valuable anywhere. The thought of death is almost liberating since I'll be freed from this cycle if torture. Guilt, Shame, ignorance, depression, anxiety. Good luck everyone, if there is an afterlife I'll see you there

All good, a derivative of my master password for my Bitwarden vault doesn't even completely fit in there and gives 7.23B years.
Uh, I don't get this. Extension methods are ultimately just syntactic sugar, everything written as an extension method could just be written as a top-level function taking the receiver as an extra parameter.

I would say the analogous feature to typeclasses are interfaces.
That’s the reason why we’ve to archive articles we found valuable. Things are not in the net forever :’(

> Why is she subject to US export law? Chinese citizen on Canadian soil who was not personally exporting anything at that moment.

Because she is accountable as a C-suite executive of Huawei, and she was traveling in a country that is closely allied with the United States.

It's funny that you're making this argument when the point of TFA is that China punishes and detains people for merely being associated with a company or group they don't like.
It's always the plastic surgeons doing stuff like this...

Proctologists...not so much.
Are you using cloudflare for dns?
Yeah. Checked exceptions are fine - it's just an early returning version of error/result-ADTs (which are widely used and loved).

Java's implementation isn't generic over exception types, so you're forced to make Bad Decisions constantly.
Automated fines for driving on bus lanes was already done at scale in Moscow more than 10 years ago. I assume there's no budget to do this immediately in Seattle?

In any case I guess one could try to organize and write to the police / local councils etc...
I'm surprised! I thought you would be much more sympathetic to the American. Everyone's so outraged at arbitrary detainment of westerners.

I would apparently be more upset than you about it.

to ask? Can WebGPU give you decent performance on non-Cuda and help accomplish these kinds of aims? (Geohot I think is aiming to avoid a single chipmaker monopoly on AI which he sees as a bad thing /paraphrase)
He DOES have a boss that mandates when he needs to work--the apps penalize him if he isn't taking rides and eventually cut off his work entirely if he isn't taking them (which is the whole point of the original article and legislation in Seattle!).

Why is 4090 so slow in your tests? It regularly demolishes my 3090 in my own tests (2x speedup in most tasks).
Technically, you're supposed to do a 410 or a 404, but when some pages being deleted have those extremely valuable old high-reputation backlinks, it's just wasteful, so i'd say it's better to redirect, to the "next best page" like maybe a category or something, or the homepage, as the last resort. Why would it be problematic? Especially if you do a sweep and only redirect pages that have valuable backlinks.
The fact that you're impressed makes me impressed.
Common Lisp is strongly typed, it's just that types follow values rather than bindings. This presents some code generation challenges, but it will warn on correctness just fine.

And of course if you really want an ML style BDSM type system in Common Lisp there's Coalton[1].

Nope, I said none of those things like banning part time work that you are saying.

Your only comment here is to try to pivot into other arguments that you are inventing. Not gonna work here.
i keep seeing people say this stuff but i think it's just confirmation bias over prolonged usage. i pumped out a full stack webapp with chatgpt 4 in the last week in languages i had little experience with and routinely use it to learn about new topics with great success. i think it's incredible.
A future where I am not successful is definitely not an option.
Very nice guide! I love your writing style, and your research skills are clearly top-notch. Great stuff!

You might enjoy reading some articles by Julia Evans (https://jvns.ca/), who has a similar informal, conversational, exploratory style.

With Application Servers (Oracle WebLogic, etc.) rapidly approaching EOL support companies are migrating their codebases to Java 11+. Additionally, Java 8 reached EOL on Mar 31, 2022. Any companies still using it must pay Oracle for extended support. This too is ending soon.
Time is a terrible metric for judging how hard a job search is. "I've been looking for a job for a year" says almost nothing. For all we know you applied to a job every other week. My first offer came in at 4 weeks of job searching. That sounds good until I add that during that time I sent out 500 applications.

And then quality goes suddenly down the drain
There has not been a need to step in to moderate content so far. I think it is by nature self-policing to an extent more than a forum based on texts because people have to speak with their voice and also share their approximate location.

We do have moderation functions available already by the way of individuals reporting the abusers.

Boldrin & Levine: Against Intellectual Monopoly.

The book opens up with a case of James Watt (after whom the Watt SI units are named), and that even though he came up with the steam engine, only after the patent for steam engine expired, was the world able to benefit from his invention. Most of the time while patent was active, he was busy fighting off others, trying to extract financial gain (AFAIK). Not only that, his initial design was subpar, and the improvement that was important was actually patented by somebody else.

I would like to finish the book someday though...

>I've heard Amazon.com doesn't even use AWS — was this ever acurate?

What? AWS spun out of Amazon.com having extra servers/infa after the holiday season rush and pushed for an internal way to monetize their extra compute/storage power.

So, that means that land should be free, pedophilia and child porn legal, total anarchy?

There's no such thing as not having the will of a group imposed on others. The best we can do is formalize a non-violent system of consensus of rules we can live by, and then allow only said system to use violence to enforce such rules.... Which is literally what government is.
>unless you can reformulate it carefully in Greek.

can you elaborate on this? I have never heard someone say this before.
Absolutely wrong. There are no penalties for not working. I've done that myself. Further to equate a "boss" to an app is quite a leap.
I always see this line of reasoning online from hype consumers. The eternal victim complex. Its not fair that negative articles are being written about this humble startup/video-game merchant/crypto exchange - must be a coordinated hit piece!

And then it devolves into worshipping the founder/priest/oracle. Usually by making claims of their supposed genius and foresight. Blah so boring. You can see it all on display in this comment. Emad the genius, yet he lies about trivial things. Yeah who cares that he lied about his master's degree? I mean I agree, who gives a shit about a master's degree. But then why feel the need to lie about it? You don't think that reflects on his character?
They would probably have thought of that if they had anyone left who knew anything about the internet...
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

It even has a tvtropes page, which does seem to largely align with the article.
Definitely, opening up to a wider audience is the plan :)

We first wanted to attack the 'hair on fire' problem as Paul Graham states it, creating solutions for people who really need this connection platform that is different from others because they would tolerate it even if our platform is sucky!

Moderation is easier on this platform I think, and so far we did not have to moderate any content. I think it is self-policing by nature because people need to speak what they want to share and also share their approximate location.
Koboldcpp (a nice frontend for llama.cpp) is The Way.

You really want to run OSX though, as its not very fast without Metal (or Vulkan). Also, you need a relatively high memory M1 model to run the better llama variants.

> Sure, but that's somewhat unavoidable. It's not as if cab drivers didn't discriminate on their fares before Uber, or inflate/make up prices via all kinds of underhanded means.

In many places (e.g. New York City) taxis are regulated and this behavior is illegal.

The main improvement of Uber in NYC was that actually hailing a cab can be difficult in remote areas or during busy hours, and Uber solved that problem.
Do these large models need the equivalent of SLI to take advantage of multiple GPU? Nvidia removed SLI from consumer cards a few years ago so I’m curious whether it’s even an option these days.
> Another consequence is that the final molecules share the same molecular state. Chin explained that the same molecules in different states can have different physical and chemical properties—but there are times when you want to create a batch of molecules in a specific state. In traditional chemistry, you’re rolling the dice. “But with this technique, you can steer the molecules into an identical state,” he said.

Is this “state” referring to left/right handedness of chiral molecules, or is this some other property? Or both?
I remember when openai was about Open AI.

We should be running these models locally and privately, not in some cloud.
Same with me. I learned to process data in ways I never have before, worked with Julia and Elixir in new ways, made some interesting geographical visualizations—all fairly new territory for me, and it was a huge success. It went faster than it normally would, and as I result, I stayed super engaged and on task.

Nothing I couldn't do without ChatGPT, but certainly a lot of fun to explore and learn with.
The US detaining people in foreign countries for breaking us “law” makes me think that China isn’t the country I should be afraid of. Sanctions are already a morally dubious set of actions that mainly harm the poor.
I feel as if the cheapest way of running these kinds of models would be to have the whole cache/memory take space on the hard drive rather than the RAM. Then, you could just use CPU power instead of splurging out thousands for RAM & a GPU with enough VRAM.

It might or might not be reasonable speeds, but I would reason that it could avoid "sunk cost irony"; if you decide, that any point, Chat-GPT would have sufficed in your task. It's rare, but it can happen.

If you want to take this silly logic further, you can theoretically run any sized model on any computer. You could even attempt this dumb idea on a computer running Windows 95. I don't care how long it would take; if it takes seven and a half million years for 42 tokens, I would still call it a success!
>you most likely don't really need and won't improve your life all that much, if at all

People are spending money because they see that they are getting value from something. If people didn't want it or thought it was worthless they would not buy it.
IMHO, there are certain developers who've always liked Java exactly as it is. They view Kotlin as too hipster-y, sugary, complex and changing too fast. I think those people should just continue to use Java.

Then there's other people like me who come from other ecosystems. I used to write Ruby and I just can't stand how verbose and convoluted Java can be. It makes reading code a real pain. But with Kotlin I found a language that struck a good balance between expressivity and compile-time safety.

Maybe Kotlin should do more to convert people from other ecosystems rather than trying to cater to the kinds of people who were never offended by the dullness of writing Java.

This has me pondering a lot, is freedom of speech a requirement for intelligence? (And is it also the same for humans?) You have to take the bad with the good to make AI work well? The quality only started to decline when they were trying to make ChatGPT more "nice". Or tin foil hat, they are lowering the quality of the free ChatGPT to get people to pay for ChatGPT 4?
Did you actually read the guide? It’s definitely not ChatGPT level summary material. While you could induce ChatGPT to issue the details, much as you can get it to issue details on string theory or almost any technical subject discussed on the web, it can’t provide the narrative or the stringing of details or guidance through the material.

The book is more about how Linux interfaces with the CPU and the CPU level discussion itself is more an introduction to CPUs to prepare for a discussion of Linux and the CPU - ELF, system call interfaces, etc. I think it’s a fairly useful overview and includes an awful lot of well thought out minutia and digging into “why is this that way” that clearly didn’t come from ChatGPT, but also didn’t come from the mind of a 17 year old - it came from googling and reading and then summarizing.

The accomplishment is that :

1) it’s remarkably well organized and structured, with clear language (n.b., the voice is clearly that of a 17 year old girl, not a pandering AI)

2) it’s detailed in a depth that’s remarkable for any engineer, but also is complete enough taking a bottoms up approach in explaining the Linux kernel interface

3) its clearly a learning exercise for the author, not a teaching of prior knowledge - which is wonderful they learned a subject as esoteric in depth in public and had the grace to invest energy in making it well presented and free

4) the combination of these things is a rare thing - depth, clarity of word and thought, and investment in quality presentation

I would have read it regardless of their age and been impressed, I think “I’m 17” is beside the point and could have just as easily been elided. But I didn’t read it as a “forgive my quality” or “read my stuff out of charity,” but rather “I am proud of what I did” and agree she should be.
