Well, if you want to go empirically, I guess type systems are mostly driven by academic opportunities to study type systems.

But people are driven to them for several reasons. They are a flexible tool that you can use to make your programs shorter, easier to read, less repetitive, faster to run, less prone to mistakes, easier to modularize, etc. (But, of course, not all of those at the same time.)
Where did I say it was you ?
The fatal error here is to believe that the hiring process follows a linear curve, so that the outcome is directly proportional to the effort spent.

When in reality I believe the hiring process follows some kind of logistic curve - after some point you're only getting very, very marginal returns on the extra effort spent.
Show HN: Automatically convert your GPT-3.5 prompt to Llama 2
Hey HN! I'm working on OpenPipe, an open source prompt workshop. I wanted to share a feature we recently released: prompt translations. Prompt translations allow you to quickly convert a prompt between GPT 3.5, Llama 2, and Claude 1/2 compatible formats. The common case would be if you’re using GPT 3.5 in production and are interested in evaluating a Claude or Llama 2 model for your use case. Here's a screen recording to show how it works in our UI: https://twitter.com/OpenPipeLab/status/1687875354311180288

We’ve found a lot of our users are interested in evaluating Claude or Llama 2, but weren’t sure what changes they need to make to their prompts to get the best performance out of those models. Prompt translations make that easier.

A bit more background: OpenPipe is an open-source prompt studio that lets you test your LLM prompts against scenarios from your real workloads. We currently support GPT 3.5/4, Claude 1/2, and Llama 2. The full codebase (including prompt translations) is available at https://github.com/OpenPipe/OpenPipe. If you’d prefer a managed experience, you can also sign up for our hosted version at at https://openpipe.ai/.

Happy to answer any questions!

From the readme.md -
Simply input a description of your task, and the system will generate a dataset from scratch, parse it into the right format, and fine-tune a LLaMA 2 model for you.

A lot of comments comparing the estimates on the site with their (anecdotal) expenses.

I’m assuming there’s a pretty big margin of error here, especially given so many other factors on top of fluctuation in the dollar.

I wouldn’t expect estimates for cost of living to be accurate within more than 10-15% (or more).
I've read through some of Brian Krebs' articles on some of these proxies, the ones I get these email offers from seem a little less slimy than that and more above board like you say. It's still not an acceptible thing to be seeling your users out to though.

Slightly less into your dis-favour?
First off, I see $38,817 not $18k. Where did you get that?

Second, this is for the whole Seattle/Tacoma area. This isn’t living in central Seattle.

Finally, I found it to be generous from my personal experience. My partner and I were able to live in Seattle for considerably less than $60k per year this gives for two people. We had a perfectly happy, frugal, life at around $36k.
I also thought it was going to be for publishing writings online. They're reusing the lingo from storybook, which is going to be familiar to a lot of people in the frontend space these days.

It does look like a great tool, I would definitely give it a try first before going to storybook.
When I became an engineering leader, it was my turn to design a hiring process. Most other companies similar to mine copied what Google did. That led me to this essay [1] and I realized copying what other big tech companies do probably wasn't right. I didn't have a "I need to pick from several good engineers" problem. I had a "I need to find a good engineer quickly" problem. I really don't know which problem Canonical has.

What I learned is that large tech companies invented modern technical recruiting as a way of choosing between good engineers. Many other companies that don't have this problem then started a recruiting cargo cult of similar practices thinking this is how you found the best people. I don't think a lot of companies have thought critically about their recruiting experience.

I think you shouldn't undersell the impact of Ubuntu shipping with binaries/installers for proprietary drivers, media codecs and things like adobe flash. These were easy enough to install on other distros, but for a noob user Ubuntu was more streamlined.

Of course this wasn't a technical innovation, it was just an exercise in pragmatic legal risk-taking.

Not really—the point of patents is to publish information so that others can use it after a period of exclusivity. But if you can keep filing patents, preventing others from using that information indefinitely, then it defeats the purpose of the patent system.
>The FMR estimates include utility costs and vary depending on the number of bedrooms in each unit, from zero to four bedrooms.
We assumed that a one adult family would rent a single occupancy unit(zero bedrooms) for an individual adult household, that a two adult family would rent a one bedroom apartment, and that two adult and one or two child families would rent a two bedroom apartment. We further assumed that families with three children would rent a three bedroom apartment (the adults are allocated one bedroom and the children two bedrooms).

So they covered their assumptions in their technical documentation that is linked at the top of the page. The increase in housing costs seems reasonable to me personally but as with all assumptions not everyone will agree.
No, because being a single parent is far more expensive due to the need for daycare/babysitting/etc...
To answer your facetious question directly, a lot of my friends got cars at 16.

I got one but had to buy it myself using a summer/weekend job. I paid all gas, maintenance, though my parents put it on their insurance.
also, child care is insanely expensive, for lots of families it can basically take up all the cost that the second parent would expect to bring in.

That's not the definition of species. In many cases different species can reproduce together, e.g. wolves and coyotes. In other cases, species are asexual so clearly there must be some other way of distinguishing them besides sexual compatibility.

The actual definition of species is essentially arbitrary and, when applied to humans and the possibility of different human subspecies or species, the question is essentially political.

It becomes even more obvious when you look into previous proto-human groups like neanderthals, denisovans, etc, as far back as you want; one can ask what counts as a subspecies, what counts as a species, and struggle to apply that in a self-consistent way today between Chinese, neanderthals, Australian aborigines, African pygmies, denisovans, native Americans, etc.

Don't let anyone trick you into thinking there is some clean science answer here - biology is far too messy.

It's not a real CPU bug unless you can write a 20 line program in C/assembly and run it to demonstrate the problem.

Then, when you've done that, send it to samsung so they patch it in their CPU design. They may even be able to patch it in their devices in the field (it's common for CPU designs to have special hardware whose purpose is runtime detecting certain trigger conditions and running replacement code to avoid hardware bugs discovered after the CPU was produced).

They can also issue an errata which might let compiler authors modify their code generators to avoid any pattern that triggers the bug, therefore avoiding other projects being impacted.

I think it means per person working and then one providing childcare.
If you scroll down they have a breakdown, but that big increase in expenses is that a single working adult with a child would need to pay for childcare. If there is 2 adults and only 1 working it is assumed the non working adult would handle childcare.
Perverse incentives being one, you make the extension for free, for the purpose of selling out later.

To contrast this, I’d say that the “few cubicles in an office” is my least favorite approach. It makes every little noise much more noticeable, and if you get stuck with a loud talker, their voice on on virtual meetings is going to echo a lot more off of the office walls. I’d prefer a regular cubicle in a large floor where the background noise all just kinda blends together.

It's a grift^2.

It's simply pretending that language models masquerading as AI are so absurdly powerful that human identity itself is now threatened and requires an additional verification layer to prove that you are actually human. Like the language model product, I think they're purely trading on hype.

I'm not sure what having my retinal scan gets you if you can't actually replicate an eyeball matching that scan.
The only reason they don't do that is because our devices aren't powerful enough to do it all the time.

The biggest cost is the childcare
Sadly yes. I've dealt with product managers that want these sort of things, and when I explain why I think it's a bad idea, it completely flies over their head at mach 2. They really don't get it. At least the ones I've dealt with in this context.

As much as I hate to say it, I think trying to push back at the individual level in a corp setting is not going to work.
I remember being in awe when I visited Universal Studios a few years back and they casually asked everybody to fingerprint themselves on the way in. Most people did it without even thinking about it. When I told them I was not going to participate, they said "you have to" to which I replied "I most certainly do not." They let me in after that. It almost felt like an IQ test.
Would a top tier ad network be exposed to any liability if the fly-by-night did the sketchy work, then the top tier bought that “anonymized” data?
One question this raises for me is, how should the number of dependents a person has impact their compensation? How should a person's membership of a larger household vs living alone impact their compensation? This displays the cost of living based on both how many children and how many working adults are considered together. The framing makes it seem as though people's wages "should" be set relative to that all-in cost of living.

The copy introducing the tool overall says:

> We developed the Living Wage Calculator to help individuals, communities, employers, and others estimate the local wage rate that a full-time worker requires to cover the costs of their family’s basic needs where they live.

And viewing specific results for a county in my state I see this copy:

> The state minimum wage is the same for all individuals, regardless of how many dependents they may have.

This doesn't explicitly say, but seems to suggest that something is is wrong if an employee isn't paid enough to cover the living expenses of them and their non-working family.

At an abstract level, sure it sounds reasonable that we would want a person's wages to cover their 'basic' cost of living. But e.g. for a single person with 3 kids in Alameda County, CA, the living wage is given as $86.40, whereas for a single person with no kids, the living wage if $22.35, and for an adult in a household with 2 working adults, the living wage is only $17.15. It seems like there's a huge fairness issue if people are paid more for having dependents and for being single.

Suppose you had two workers doing the same job, equally well, but A is a single parent 3 kids and B is a single person living alone. Should A be paid nearly 4x as much as B? Suppose A gets married and their kids now have a step-parent; should A's compensation be cut nearly in half? Suppose B moves in with their significant other who initially works, should their compensation drop further? If B's cohabitating significant other quits their job, should B's compensation really be doubled? What conditions is the the "2 adults (1 working)" x "0 children" meant to cover -- should it depend upon the other adult's _ability_ to work?

While perhaps one might think that an employer was being noble by trying to use this to ensure employees had a floor on their ability to house and feed themselves, if you were a person with no dependents, I think this would really sound like discrimination.

You don't know that because no one is given a clear choice like you present (and even saying "data" is opaque to joe average user).

Imagine if the choice was: We have this data about you (a comprehensive list of all the fruits of our creepy stalking: a,b,c,d, etc...), if you let us violate your privacy in a myriad of ways, we will let you have this little trinket for free. Otherwise, it will cost you x. How many people would select privacy violation?

>Most people don't expect to get things for free in the real world, why should the internet be any different? Why does everyone (myself included) always look for free stuff on the internet?

Most of the internet is communication in some form or another. I get a lot of communication for free in the real world. My question is: why does everyone assume that the purpose of the internet is their platform to get rich selling trinkets to clueless natives? Maybe some things are better off run as a non-profit?
The results for 2 people definitely seemed more realistic (childcare notwithstanding)
Yes, it looks like you're quite right. Thanks for correcting me!

I've confirmed it with several sources, from several different legal systems:

> The rule is not concerned with the duration of interests. A lease for 999
years does not violate the rule; nor does an estate in fee simple, which may
last for ever. The rule is satisfied if an interest must 'vest' within the per-
petuity period, even though the interest may last beyond it. - http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/MelbULawRw/1969/19...

> Although a lease may be given for an unlimited term or even in perpetuity, the reversion is clearly not obnoxious to the rule, since it is a vested interest. - in LEASES AND THE RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIES, https://openyls.law.yale.edu/bitstream/handle/20.500.13051/1... (there are many concepts and words I don't understand)

> It’s not related to the rule against perpetutities at all. The rule deals with interests in proprerty which are floating around in a trust, waiting to be vested in someone. They can only float around unvested like this if the terms of the trust require that the must vest in someone within the perpetutity period. - https://davidallengreen.com/2023/03/happily-ever-after-disne...

I was particularly happy about a comment in that last link: "When I was a law student I think I understood the rule against perpetuitities for about an hour – luckily that coincided with my exams."

It's never too late to start doing what you think will make you feel accomplished. Be it when you're 17, 40 or 80. You still have plenty of time ahead, and there isn't even much reason to rush.

The end product will result on it's own eventually.
