The issue is that retirement systems are built on a certain assumption of the population pyramid. This will cause very serious political and societal strife as the retired will largely have more political and financial power and the few young will be (attempted) to be bled dry to maintain the system

Funny, reminds me of the old (~1990) MS-DOS based "FM Intelligent Organ" distributed with Sound Blaster cards (cf. http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=File:Sound_Blaster...). Nice to see people doing things in terminals :-)
so you don't use arp when you connect through wifi?

but if you have a wired connection and a wifi connection to the same router, will one use arp and the other not use it?
Dependency Injection in Swift Using Property Wrappers
Not weird at all. If you are listening on www. then you should have a certificate for it. Super basic stuff.
Is it only about money or could it also be about its usefulness? I have no information on this, but like when Arecibo collapsed, there were discussions about how much it would cost to fix it and how useful it could be. Maybe it has made a lot of research, and some new research directions would better make use of another kind of tool?

You can also do this with the Ti cc2540, comes with bluetooth sniffing firmware. You need a command line program in Linux to get the output to wireshark, but i find grabbing traffic and analysing afterwards more useful tham real time analysis anyway.
"Less babies" is grammatically incorrect. The proper wording is "fewer babies".

Ha! Lol! When you search Bing for "cars," they even return a reference to the 80s band "The Cars." Very clearly, Bing is made by Gen-Xers.
> A farmer’s dog may be eating the scraps, but has a fundamentally different role in the farm as an enterprise than the animals the dog is herding.

And yet they are both animals, often get treated as less than most people, the shepherd dog only gets the proverbial scraps. Precisely the analogy’s entire point. I’m Glad I didn’t have to spell it out.

> A definition that excludes CEOs from the upper class isn’t a very workable one.

Absolutely. Hence the "Were we to push that to the extreme", followed by a ridiculous application of the definition.

> Another way to look at it is that there’s a large class of people whose jobs wouldn’t be nearly as well compensated without monopolistic capitalism.

And thus we can differentiate those of these people who are part of the upper class from those who aren’t by wether they get an actual share of the value they produce, or merely scraps. Wether they are compensated as equals, or as useful tools.

Interesting bit about Sweden and Norway. I didn’t know that.

Which cultures are those?

Ancient, tribal cultures, absolutely raised children in a communal way as you say. There's even a saying, "it takes a village to raise a child..." But I'm not aware of any modern cultures that still do that in reality.
For photos I recommend Immich (https://immich.app/) - recently switched from nextcloud to immich and it's ridiculous that this is free and opensource software - it feels so premium.
> I don’t like the privacy implications. However it sounds like her litigation was baseless so at least making her visible helps future employers avoid her and risk of litigation.

But the privacy implications should not be ignored, and it appears the company and media organizations seek to do further damage and harm, beyond what was required to win the case.

The ability of people to change or their right to seek future employment elsewhere, can't be ignored or purposely inhibited without creating more legal and litigation issues.

I'm going to assume that you don't work, for instance, as a schoolteacher (probably a safe assumption on this site).

How do you think your childhood teachers feel about your attitude (of not being interested in going into the teaching profession)? Lucky for you that they didn't share it, right?

How about working in local government, as a mayor or alderman for instance? Did you ever do that? Lucky for you that someone else did, right?

Do you feel bad for not doing these jobs that are essential for society?
Extinction of peoples, nations, cultures and civilizations is not trivial. At least for normal people.
> Websites trust these SEO consultants and growth hackers more than they trust information from Google itself.

That's because websites' goals and Google's goals are not aligned.

Websites want people to engage with their website, view ads, buy products, or do something else (e.g. buy a product, vote for a party). If old content does not or detracts from those goals, they and SEO experts say, it should go because it's dragging the rest down.

Google wants all the information and for people to watch their ads. Google likes the long tail; Google doesn't care if articles from the 90's are outdated because people looking at it (assuming the page runs Google ads) or searching for it (assuming they use Google) means impressions and therefore money for them.

Google favors quantity over quality, websites the other way around. To oversimplify and probably be incorrect.
Minifying code for browsers greatly reduces the amount of bandwidth needed to serve web traffic. There's a good reason it's done.

By your logic, there's actually no reason to use compiled code at all, for almost anything above the kernel. We can just use Python to do everything, including run browsers, play video games, etc. Sure, it'll be dog-slow, but you seem to care more about reading the code than performance or any other consideration.
Do you know this is exactly how it works in most first world countries already? (except for the health insurance bit, because most first world countries have a public health system). Part-time workers get holiday pay, sick leave, and every entitlement of full-time workers, at a rate commensurate with their hours.

Seems I'm not the only one still getting to grips with non-linearity, lol (see discussion down-thread).

So what's the best fix here? Adding a ReLU or SwiGLU between the embedding and first linear layer, or just deleting the linear? As presumably the embedding layer is required to convert token indexes to the embedding vector and you can't get rid of that, it has a special structure.
Fascinating historical insight!

We have a team of 20 engineers currently working on solving this problem in the context of API requests and service chains. Do you know JMS @ Penn? Asking because he did some work in ATM networks, QoS etc. He is advising us on the project.

I’m seeing a lot about clojure language, especially recently. I’m missing an insight into the clojure community, especially in the context of libraries and job market.

E.g. I’m not aware of any large framework like Rails or Phoenix. Is this something that is missing and yet-to-come, or there is no need for that?

How does this affect job search, are Clojure jobs less about SAAS/CRUD apps? Does each place build their own custom tooling?

> "The current movement to avoid tracking is an extremely powerful centralizing force."

What a biased, myopic comment. As if ad companies are a grassroots movement against centralisation. As if ad tech is not in the hands of the powerful few tech companies.

They have defended ads in 2021 as well. I wonder where they work. I mean, somebody must be writing the backend for all these ad companies.
This entire discussion is nothing but content-free complaining. I’m impressed with Slack’s ability to enrage and annoy so many people.
Probably not; anyone can claim to work for these companies with no repercussions, because is it a crime? Maybe if they're pricks that lower these companies' public opinion (libel), but even that requires a civil suit.

But lying on the internet isn't a crime. I work for Google on quantum AI solutions in adtech btw.
> A lot of complaints i see on HN are very first world and don’t see how much some of these companies actually help.

These companies are not set up as charities. If they happen to help people, that’s a side affect of the primary purpose - generate maximum revenue.

Regulation is required where a businesses incentives do not align with societies (mining is an easy example). As much as C level execs will argue, self regulation has never been an effective mechanism. So Uber is incentivised, naturally, to provide a safe experience for a rider, as to do otherwise would reduce revenue. They are not incentivised to provide their drivers any semblance of a “life worth living”, as it has no positive correlation to revenue. This isn’t out of malice, it’s just economics at work. If we, as a society, want a better standard of living for gig workers, then regulation, flawed as it is, is the only mechanism I know of that has some chance of working.
It's not a sound use case. LLMs have no concept of taste or conception of cooking. Just because they can string the words together into something that looks like recipe, doesn't mean it's actually something more useful than a randomly generated output.

It’s pretty concerning, does someone here know an extension that would block or signal other extension’s misbehavior?

Any chances ublock does it already ?
Nice technical metaphor: "The first things worth writing down were the terms of deals—in what is perhaps a metaphor for the destructive nature of non-market conflict, some of the oldest writing we have consists of cuneiform tablets recording the terms of loans and forward commodities contracts. These were written on clay, which could be reused, but when a city was razed the fires would bake the clay, writing the contract from random-access memory to permanent storage."
Maybe the hammer analogy I used is not great because hitting yourself is obviously bad whereas any of the recipes might be toxic in a way that the user is not aware of, in which case you're right. But the complaint is that it suggests impossible dishes upon inputting ingredients that are obviously inedible and harmful substances, which sounds to me like it is functioning correctly even if this humorous function was unintentional

Who would ask this LLM to make a recipe involving bleach and then actually proceed to make it? Such a person is already at risk of poisoning themselves, the software doesn't suggest it by itself so I don't see how it increases the risk of harm
Highly doubt that this is for SEO purposes, serp does not work like that. Smell like a bad management decision, and probably some huge investment in an ai tool that needs to be justified monetarily. They will probably nuke a huge portion of their traffic, and loose a ton of backlinks.

If you genuinely strive to create a great content that piece of content will drive traffic, leads, sales, help for rankings and etc. for years.

The 1980s featured a lot of takeovers where the intent was to break up the company.

The board and shareholders are perfectly within their right to try to block that.
It doesn't appear to be as simple as that. She worked at the company for 18 years. If she was unproductive and committing fraud for all of the 18 years there, then that is a reflection of how incompetent her managers and the company's processes are.

To be employed by them, for so long, means that she was likely productive for most of her time there (then slacked off at some point) and/or how employees are managed and evaluated at that company is completely dysfunctional.
One issue there was that human-curated directories are everywhere. Hacker News is one. Reddit is another. And during the Yahoo times, directories were made everywhere and all over the place. Which one is authoritative? There's too much of them out there.

That said, in NL a lot of people's home pages for a long time was set to startpagina.nl, which was just that, a cool directory of websites that you could submit to the website. It seems to exist still, too.

Yes, they are understandable - enlarging the empire, however, they have nothing reactive or relevant to "being provoked" in them.
it seems like making building an electronic braille display is an interesting side project.

i don't know, 30 units of display thingy that sized similar to mahjong tiles, two buttons to change them to "next line" and "prev line", and maybe a raspberry pi and one sdcard for each book maybe enough to build it?

of course the difficult part is the "display thingy". not sure if they have it in shenzhen.
If you have an mp3 file of what you wish to be a ringtone, could can put it on the phone and open it in the file manager or music app of your choice, press the ⋮ options button and there should be an option to set it as a ringtone.

This attempt to link a popular theory to a popular topic seems really shaky.

At first they explain the difference between imitation and mimetic desire:

> While imitation, on Girard’s model, refers to the positive effects of copying someone else’s behavior, mimetic desire—which desires the other’s desire—opens up a deeply violent dimension.

But later they mix up the two:

> A speculator wants to be the person who bought Amazon at the IPO; the en- trepreneur wants to be the person who took Facebook public at a twelve-digit market capitalization. Speculators can trivially emulate their mimetic models through leverage, i.e. through believing what the model believes, only more so. If you’re competing with someone who put 100% of their money into Bitcoin, you’ll never catch up if you make the same trade.

To me this is imitating anothers' investment, the underlying desire being making money. If anything, the memetic behavior here would be the much more fundamental copying of others' desire to accumulate money itself.

You should never do this: `any` is infectious. Assert the particular type judgement you want instead: `as number`, `as ({dispatch: () => void})`, etc.

I'm talking about workers, they are mostly middle and lower class. Your example of higher clothing, it's not the workers who do really well, it's the designers and labels. Wouldn't consider them as workers.
in employment, yes, I am suggesting that, and that the basis behind at-will employment is flawed, there are plenty of ways to allow for the paid-person to exit a contract whenever they want without it meaning the company fires them whenever they want for any reason.

in other contexts, no, I am not suggesting that, but there are some fringes that try
When deciding KPIs, Goodhart's law should always be kept in mind: when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

It's really hard to not create perverse incentives with KPIs. Targets like "% of tickets closed within 72 hours" can wreck service quality if the team is under enough pressure or unscrupulous.
TFA calls it "indigenous" which is very woke of them, but if I understand correctly, Indians regard IP and copyright as an invitation to copy and duplicate. I can see this starting and ending as a fork of Chromium or Firefox.
It's offering to make a food-recipe, in there is the assumption that it's eatable.

If you are asking to make a recipe of a bike & sand, it should simply say not possible.

Im not saying you shouldn't launch, or call it a fun or experimental tool, but to just disclaimer your way out of things is too easy.
I was six years old when I learned that garbage in equals garbage out. Nothing has changed. It's the same for LLMs as it was for 8-bit computers as it was nearly 200 years ago when Babbage remarked, "I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
Why should covering every square inch in people be the goal?

Generative AI needs a human in the loop to check its work. How many times does this need asserting?

Generative AI Is not an authoritative source.

In this case the app should have been framed as a tool to "help the user create a meal plan through generative prompts".

They could even have made fun of it in the guidance to the user. Point out that if you give it crazy ingredients it will give you crazy meals.

Generative AI is like having a smart intern do work for you, it needs checking. Sometimes they come to work having been out all night, still drunk, and powered by energy drinks...

Taiwanese here. I have a mixed opinion about this site. Some of them are just weird:

- mega → 巨型 (百萬)

Really? Do you really want to translate mega to 百萬 (million) in every context?

*Edit: every, not any

- text → 文本 (文字)

Seriously? 文本 is the formal, academic way to say it, even in Taiwan. Have this person never been any academic environment?

- through → 通過 (透過)

Seriously???
It actually sounds like fun in comparison to implementing anything on a whiteboard.
I said nothing of abstainment. In fact, I am posting!

Ignoring online comments, especially criticism, does not mean disregardment. And note, context is important.
Note what I am replying to.

Simply put, on a medium where one person can sockpuppet appear as 1000, where one person can rally 1000 useful idiots with one disingenuous post, one cannot care what is said.

Ignore it.

We already have 30 year old adults, trying to discuss political nuance online, not realising that they may be piled on by a dozen 8 year olds. People presume the person behind the text is real, the person is their approximate age, or at least an adult, that the person is debating in good faith.

None of this is necessarily true, and in any large group of responses, the above chicanery is happening.

No one should care what a bunch of "people" on Twitter say.
Most of them apply to software as well
As a non-native speaker, I don't understand the exact meaning of being whiplashed in this comment. Online translators only point to the direct translation of someone being hit with a whip.

In here, does whiplashed mean something like being utterly surprised?
> Another argument is that women are working and do not have time to have kids.

Isn't that a valid argument still (despite his Swiss semi-counter-example)? Many jobs are complicated these days and require education + experience, making it very hard for women who want to work and become economically independent to have kids early in life; when they are most fertile.

I also think his Swiss example is somewhat misleading, since he argues that Switzerland has few women working (56%), and also a low birthrates (1.4). So at least 44% of the women have time to have babies, then Swiss birthrates should be high. But a friend of mine is from Switzerland, and his wife stopped working after they had a child (she has a PhD in biology as well, so highly educated). Schools typically send children home for 3 hours in the middle of the day (lunch/siesta or whatever you want to call it). Somebody has to be home, and that very often ends up being the mother. And after you've been out of the working life for a long period of time, getting back can be difficult. I.e. it could be that one of the reasons the Swiss women are hesitant to have children, is that they know that it will most likely end their career; so the implication could go the other way.
There are meetups on all kinds of topics all over the world that are free to attend.

If you crave social connections, but dont know how to make them, you havent learned a coreskill for being a human and there are much deeper issues, such as depression, at play. Would be time to look at therapy or other more structural solutions.

An app won't solve your social & community issues.

Extensions are too risky
I used to agree with you. But I think we have spent 20+ years teaching people to accept that computers is generally trustworthy, and a lot of people simply do not know how to separate LLMs from computers more broadly yet.

Yeah, I know, “don’t believe what you read on the Internet” — but that’s other people on the Internet.

People are used to computers themselves being deterministic, reliable.
I think CTEs and window functions in version 8 were big, combined with udf you could write some very complicated queries for data analysis without exponentially growing number of joins.
There is no dominant over-arching framework like in some other languages. There are many smaller ones, with different approaches, so there is more choice.

As for SaaS apps, Clojure is a really good fit, because of ClojureScript. You can have a large part of your code as .cljc files, and compile both to JVM and to JavaScript in the browser. I found this is an incredible advantage, enabling a single founder like me to write and maintain a complex SaaS.
