It's reasonable to think in retrospect that, even assuming companies had reasonable measures of productivity and related metrics (which is by no means a given), OF COURSE during the pandemic, they were going to make statements to the effect that "everything is fine/better than we expected."

And, even from a somewhat less cynical perspective, it's reasonable to see a more complicated picture where many things, but not all things, are indeed more or less OK. Overlaid on this is that a lot of companies have cut back on travel etc. budgets so one of the alternatives to people getting together in local offices is at least somewhat off the table.
See my reply to Ar-Curunir, below.

It's fine to say that the "U.S. policing system" is broken and rife with corruption that needs a complete overhaul that's fine. But implying that all police officers are "bad", breeds hate and leads to hate crimes. People use heuristics to simplify things their brains can't quickly wrap their head around.

I suppose some folks don't have the mental capacity to distinguish individuals from general behaviors of larger associations, and instead rely on these heuristics that their minds can handle, like racists, sexists, and political/religious extremists. It's much easier just to speak in generalities.

However, these are human beings, our literal neighbors, they have families and some police officers work everyday from within a corrupt system - in the streets to try and make a change for the better. But here, we sit in our comfy chairs, relatively safe, and have the nerve to not even acknowledge they exist. Instead, we just lump them together with all of the bad actors. It's laziness-induced hate and it's a true shame it lives on here in HN of all places.
I'm very familiar with how mcts is used in alpha go and mu zero.

I'm not sure how you can say it's hidden in the details: the name of the paper is "mastering go with deep neutral networks and tree search."

It's also not an oversell on the deep learning component. Per the ablations in the alpha go paper, the no-mcts ELO is over 2000, while the mcts-only ELO is a bit under 1500. Combining the two gives an ELO of nearly 3000. So the deep learning system is outperforming the mcts-only system, and gets a significant boost from using mcts.

The mu zero paper also does not hide the tree search; it is prominent in the figures and mentioned in captions, for example. It is not the main focus of the paper, though, so perhaps isn't discussed as much as in the alpha go paper.

I don’t see how one library for one language having some undesirable feature implies “If a language needs to rely on pointer tags for GC, avoid that language.”, especially not since using tagged pointers does not necessarily imply limiting the range of integers.

An implementation can choose to implement ‘small’ objects as tagged pointers, and use a pointer to an ‘integer’ object for objects it cannot ’hide’ inside a pointer.

Lyft and Uber drivers can setup tablets in their cars that blare ads. They're fairly common in Chicago.
Yes I was agreeing with you.

Im on your camp.
i'll chime in with a personal experience. I joined a highly technical startup (think C++ and CUDA) with an incredible engineering team. Now hire a bunch of strategy/business/sales/success workers, create two tiers of society, and ensure the engineers get thrown into the back room. Great way to make a startup lose spark.

Here is a specific example: schedule the company holiday party the night before the one major software release of the year so all the engineers are sitting at the party with heavy GPU laptops coding away on build issues after bug fixes.

Here is another specific example: recently hired workers on the business side become Directors and VPs three out of undergrad while engineers waiting for years for promotions are not given any.
I beg you to read this try just a little harder.

Indeed, it would likely be better for all concerned if TANF (and Section 8 housing vouchers, i.e. “rent stamps”) were simply cash benefits.

But like with the tax code, the government (with no small influence from the voters) prefers to keep some measure of control—no candy bars! extra benefits at farmers markets! Though as you might imagine that control is illusory given most spending is fungible.
I agree that they should be capable, but I don't think it should be done by almost anyone.
I’ve played around with Eleven Labs a bunch, and while it does a pretty good job sounding like an audiobook a lot of the time, the quality of cloned voices and the ability to convey emotions is inconsistent IME. Based on the samples, this isn’t obviously worse and might actually be better.
Yeah, I think people often underestimate the role of ego in this kind of stuff. Hell, it can even be used as a philosophical razor: Never attribute to necessity that which is adequately explained by egomania.
Harvard is a very poor university, they only have a $50 Billion endowment. They could not possibly afford to give their students a tray of free cafeteria slop three times a day.

Family formation is delayed across the whole population, but I do think it's worth asking what can be done to support earlier family formation. (Given that many people are saying they are not having the number of kids they would like to have.)
John was asked to watch Bob's family home while the family was on vacation, included was the dog, the cat and Bob's Grandma.

After the first week, Bob called home and asked how things were going. John replied "Everything is okay, except the cat died." Bob says "Couldn't you be more diplomatic?" John asks "What do you mean?" Bob replies "Well, if I ask how the cat is, say the cat's on the roof" then the next time, you could tell me it died"

The next week, Bob calls, John answers and after a short discussion, Bob asks how his Grandma is doing.

John replies "She's on the roof"

Except this example is a terrible way to implement it unless you want to play it for a joke.

"I'm ok, the car is not" would've communicated relevant information without followup. The bull is less important part.

> Like in the article I communicate on my status in the same way. Though I am not really convinced it is some positive character trait. It seems more like a anxiety problem.

I like that type of communication because it is very useful in emergency (whether actual one, or just some app at work not working).

I think it also generally produces less of an anxiety because starting with the bad can immediately make the other site start to speculate the worst

> With the example of the article I would find it much more normal, and useful, to say. 'I hit a bull, I am okay, the bull is not'.

Exactly. Much better way to say that.

"Data is safe, it's not a breach, we're being DDoSed", instead of "we're having a massive DDoS on our services affecting X y and Z, but we don't suspect any data breach or data loss".
Any phone can run an onion service if all you need is a website. It's rather annoying that you need to root/jailbreak your phone to use port 80 I agree with that, but it's also not a necessity for running a website.

Aside from the phone use case, the concept of "privileged ports" is pretty silly on any device operated by a single user or used for a single purpose. In an age where any device on a modern network can reserve hundreds of IP addresses without any risk of address space exhaustion, concepts such as reserved ports are next to useless.

One day I'll get myself to waste a few weeks writing an Android mod that gives every app on the system a separate (ephemeral) IPv6 address. The challenge will be to generate enough virtual interfaces for network namespacing to do its thing while assuring it only does so on IPv6 enabled WiFi networks, but I think it can be done.
I have a different but related rule for emails: Only one important thing per email and it has to be as close to the top as possible. If you're sending a list of questions, put them in priority order and don't be surprised if only the first one gets answered.

Also avoid making statements on anything debatable if focusing on that will give them an excuse to ignore the rest. For example I was talking to my doctor's office asking if they could move my appointment to some time in the next two weeks rather than the 15th (8 weeks away at the time). The response I got was, "Your appointment is on the 12th." And then they stopped responding.
On my Nokia N90i, I used to run Apache and PHP and a gallery web app to serve up the phone's camera roll on the wifi interface. Was quite useful at times.

Symbian was a terribly quirky platform to develop for, but there were some quite cool things.

Just like you, I think the above commenter points out that scientific consensus is not a scientific construct, but a political one.

> politics: social relations involving intrigue to gain authority or power

You need politics when working multiple people together. But in particular in scientific communities, you need to be able to superseede political, or institutional, ideas. This is what the original post talks about.

The core scientific constructs is stuff like falsification, occam's razor, etc.

The "mistake" seems to be a juxtaposition of science and the scientific community.
Your initial premise is flawed though. For example, as someone who worked on Facebook's database team, I can tell you that Facebook has thousands upon thousands of tables (distinct logical table definitions, i.e. not accounting for duplication from physical sharding or replication).

Some of these store things for user-facing product entities and associations between them -- you missed the vast majority of product functionality in your "people, posts, and ads" claim. Others are for internal purposes. Some workloads use joins, others do not.

Nothing about Facebook's database design is "tall", nor is it "easy". There are a lot of huge misconceptions out there about what Facebook's database architecture actually looks like!

Advice like "never user joins" and "design around a single table" is usually just bad advice for most applications. It has nothing to do with Facebook, and ditto for Amazon based on the sibling replies from Amazon folks.
I'm split on this. Yes, a university as rich as Harvard should adequately support it's students. But other than that, there should not be any stigma associated with accepting any form of government support. Students sounds like the ideal group that the government should really support.
Legacy is closer to 15% of the class. You might be confusing the number with Legacy+Athlete+Faculty+Donor?
The article doesn't make sense. It can technically work with a bunch of dynamic DNS systems. An IPv6 address isn't fixed to your device like a MAC address is.

Even assuming it would be doable, it would be a security nightmare, and we'd end up relying on some centralised systems anyway lest we burden the internet with absolutely insane amounts of continual p2p discoveries.

If you want a personal website, why not use a service like neocities? It's free, and just lets you go ham with static content. Don't feel like writing HTML pages manually? Make a TiddlyWiki and upload that.
From how this is treated by commentators, I wonder how Chèque Repas systems common in Europe would be received. (basically, a lunch voucher that's part garnished-wages, part employer contribution, and mostly a tax-deduct from the government. in a €1/€2.4/€5 ratio)

It's only visibly similar though, since they're meant to be used on prepared food, and everyone tends to get them from the c-suite to interns.
If they are married and their partner works, then it doubles the income. Also if they have a small child there is probably some form of government support. And they should have tax deductions too.
> There is no one orchestrating this.

There wasn’t before.

There is now.

Lobbyists are pushing for it. Big investment firms like Vanguard and Blackrock that have a lot to lose if the commercial real estate market collapses are pushing companies to mandate RTO policies if they want to keep getting investments. Makes sense.
Clearly, I am morally equivalent to child labor and thalidomide by attempting to correct that coal mining didn't collapse on its own but rather it was explicitly killed by executive action. </sarcasm> Next.
This site used up 2gb of memory when I opened it, and apparently I was near the brink.
Adjusted for local cost of living, the Harvard grad students are much worse off. The median income for Cambridge is $112k, so these grad students are earning around a third of that. Said German grad students are earning more than the area median income.
Great explanation. Now it makes sense!
I briefly remember napping during my physics lectures looking over the transformation equations, which did not make sense to me. ( I know it's partly my fault but...)
> that man brought a lot of money into the university from alumni and other donors.

He did or urban meyer and the buckeyes did?

He forgot to bring urban meyer and the ohio state football program with him.
I've only been in one car that did that. I turned off the tablet and left a negative review.
I had never considered sunk cost fallacy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost on the long term time horizon of my career. In multiple cases, I stayed on longer than I should have. Early in my career I suffered from short term thinking, rather than guiding my job in the direction I wanted. Will growth allow me to follow the career track of my manager or other senior IC? Do I even want that? Am I gaining valuable experience, or am I beginning to stagnate?
Those are really cool use-cases. I wrote a bit about our initial motivation for LiteLLM here - https://hackernoon.com/litellm-call-every-llm-api-like-its-o....

tldr; reliable model switching involved multiple 100-line if/else statements, which made our code messy, and debugging in prod pretty hard.
Where did the CDC say that? The CDC doesn't even publish COVID-19 treatment protocols; those come from the NIH. And none of the large scale clinical trials have found ivermectin to be effective.

"The high cost of living in Boston only adds to Harvard students' struggle."

"The average rent for a Boston one-bedroom is $3,215 a month. Ljunggren said it’s not uncommon for students to be paying $2,000 a month for a studio apartment, or living with multiple roommates to cover a $4,000-a-month two-bedroom." https://www.vice.com/en/article/93kwaa/harvard-tells-grad-st...
I feel like given its history and magnificence only people who fight to the death deserve to fight in Rome’s Colosseum

The boxing and MMA matches especially the exhibition ones (and especially this particular exhibition match between these 2 assholes) belong to the Oakland Coloseum not Rome’s Colosseum.
> For example, I can carry on a reasonably good conversation with ChatGPT in the ancient dead language of Pali and have it translated into cuneiform

ChatGPT’s ability to translate into Pali or cuneiform is limited by the size of the corpus. As I said, most languages of the world do not have a sizeable electronic corpus, and what has appeared in writing is only a limited portion of those languages. ChatGPT cannot magically guess words or idioms that it was never trained on.

This is well known to anyone working in corpus linguistics. Do you have any formal background in the field?

> As people are invested in their native language this doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Outside a few relatively privileged languages, people are much less invested in their native language than you assume. Due to the pressures of poverty, political oppression, and social stigma, it can be difficult for linguists to even find speakers willing to answer some questions about their language, let alone train MT.
you’d be subject to rate limits and all manner of potential issues and outages if you only query the providers api.

that’s part of the case for a centralized state, to have an additional place that describes what should exist and what it looks like.
So is it just TS to TS ?

If it is same language I just had common library implementing all the types for server and client, no need to get any more fancy than that, crossing the language barrier is the problem for type safety.
In my experience with Dlang I can't remember seeing 63 bit ints or boxing. In either the language or the standard lib.
To be clear, I am all for self hosting stuff, but it needs to be in a proper, affordable, standardized package that can be kept secure and useful. A phone is NOT that.
Are these "Chinese Trust Companies" like family offices in the US? The description in the article made me think so, just trying to understand what the equivalent is in Western markets.

This is part of what I hoped would evolve as part of the full remote pandemic stuff. I left my home area because it was obvious my salary ceiling would be about a third of what I am making now, and I still have room to grow where I am where I would otherwise be stuck. With full remote it would have been possible to at least move back home, but attitudes seem to have shifted for the worse in a lot of cases so being within an hour commute of a tech hub (US) is the only way to get the salary parity.
That is some grade A BS.
Blaming the government.

Harvard is a private entity. They can pay whatever they want.

The link you posted, and description, is for the portion the government will pay. The portion they will pay for research.

It isn't some salary cap placed on the university like it's the Yankees. The University can pay on top of that.
Science is much, much more than the scientific method. I'm glad people get exposed to the idea in grade school or whatever but just being able to list the steps in the scientific method doesn't make you scientifically literate or able to appreciate how knowledge and knowledge generation actually works.
>> The same thing plays out with less experienced middle managers who get thrust into high-budget positions at smaller companies.

Thanks for the spot-on description.
You are right, the more money involved, the sleazier it gets. It reminds me of the book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18905630-hedgehogging

A highly successful hedge fund with a highly successful group got one of these senior managers and they managed to spends hundreds of millions on crazy ideas (not my money syndrome) while the people who actually built the machine originally were sidelined.
It’s not just grad students, postdoc pay is crap too. Back when I was at Princeton a few years ago, postdoc salary in the physics department was a bit above $50k IIRC. It really sucks to be in a field where you’re expected to do at least two stints of postdoc after getting your PhD (when you’re already 27 or older).
The most popular conspiracy theory is The Rich People Rule The World Conspiracy Theory. No amount of debunking seems to move the needle. People think a wealthy elite control everything and that all or most human problems can be solved by taking money away from them.
This is an incredibly weird way to interact with people outside of work.
And then it gets back to my other argument. Are you going to pay someone the same that doesn’t fit your technical needs as you would someone who does? If you pay them less, are your raise policies going to allow you to get them to market value once they do have the skillset or are they going to end up job hopping?
Nobody is saying that everyone should host websites on your phone. The author is saying you should be able to, if you so choose. Android and iOS put restrictions on what applications on a phone are able to do, often for arbitrary reasons.

You can't hack a web server in your closet to run on port 80 without jailbreaking your phone/unlocking the bootloader and rooting your phone, and I can't really think of a reason why that should be. It's not as it Android and iOS come with important http(s) servers out of the box, why shouldn't port 80/443 be available to apps?
It's honestly a hard problem to solve.

From the government perspective, is better to have someone making low income with food stamps then entirely unemployed and relying on more social benefits.

Businesses raise wages when no one will accept the job at that wage. Social benefits like food stamps allow individuals to take jobs at lower wage, and therefore drive down the price.
> ... some simple observations ...

It seems like your "simple observation" is referring to the false dichotomy of stating that there are only money from Exxon, Phillip Morris and Pfizer (and the likes?) as an alternative to governmental money?

There is a plethora of way to finance any projects besides either be financed by the government or large corporations – and luckily much research is funded in other ways.
If you use Server Actions, you can just call a server function from your frontend directly, no need for middleware like tRPC

Based on what I know, $800 is roughly two weeks depending on where you live. A full month at $1600 is not unreasonable for an 8 hour work day, 5 days a week at a reasonably good daycare. It can be perhaps as much as $600 lower a month in low cost areas and hundreds higher in major metro areas. This is for one kid.

But these costs are dwarfed by hiring a legal nanny for watching a single kid. To do it legally in most states requires making them a full time employee with benefits and insurance, which I suppose is nice and all except it makes the entire thing unaffordable for even upper middle class incomes. So of course plenty of people do it under the table, which has its own set of problems.

Childcare and modern parenting is actually fascinating and depressing. The answer tends to be money and/or leaning on family.

Also the government does some kind of tax savings account for daycare expenses but the total amount falls far short of enough to cover services for a full time job. An obvious policy tweak would be to do a means tested daycare spending account with caps that reflect realistic full time jobs and help low income folk. The current one is a joke.

Back on topic: an underrated benefit of WFH is you can set your own hours with some clever time management with a partner. A parent can get up early and do work, have the other parent drop the kid at daycare, and then the first parent can pickup the kid from daycare so the second parent can work longer. And there can be trading of time between the parents to accommodate deadlines. Having to physically go into an office on a regular basis screws this entire system
up. The forced nature of in-office work is something I will fight against as much as I can, even though I very much enjoy gathering with others to work in person when it makes sense.
For example, the widely used 'count' anti-pattern is still present, and no actions have been taken up to this day. This topic has persisted for 5 years. 5 YEARS!!! That's what triggered my decision to migrate to Pulumi.
