I think of front-line managers (of ICs) as part of "middle management" (anything "in the middle" between ICs and executives) but I can see how some might think of middle management as managers of managers. Anyway, that's why I added the clarification.

To your point, yeah, I'm also seeing a lot more "hands on" call outs in JDs for EMs, if not writing code, at least doing code reviews.

8 bits for the home network feels cramped even now, my home network is at 56 devices. But 16 bits are fine for end-user networks.

And once you go over 16 bits, you really need to start dealing with routing.

> In the IPv4 world they can even have 24 bits (10.0.0.0/8) why should IPv6 have only 16 bits? It's definitely not enough.

This is not a fair comparison. You won't have a 10.0.0.0/8 network in IPv4 that has 16 million computers in the same broadcast domain. You'll likely have multiple /8 or /16 networks, with routing between them.

And in my hypothetical world, you'll have 56 bits for that routing. Your ISP can delegate you a /32 prefix, giving you 24 bits for your own routing hierarchy.

This is not dissimilar from the current situation. You have just 64 bits of the "network address", because the lower 64 bits are needed for SLAAC.
Could be the extension. Though the logic seems to be all in wasm, not sure how the extension would modify it.

Considering China and middle east largely dumping USD transactions and debts, you will see whatever pricing you have today to double in coming 10 years (assuming Joe and very similar to Joe quality controlling America government for coming decade - mostly now fraud so elections result wont change much). Park your money away from USD (e.g. gold or Bruneian dollar) and prepare your kids for other things than America-centric such as learning to code, and learning Chinese.

Yes, there are false advertising laws which broadly prohibit labels that are deceptive or misleading to a reasonable consumer.

In Mantikas v. Kellogg Co. (2018) [1], the 2nd Circuit allowed a false-advertising class-action suit to proceed against Cheez-Its labeled 'Made with Whole Grain' that only had 8g of whole grain in a 29g serving, whose primary ingredient was white flour.

The opinion explicitly rejects the situation you describe:

> Such a rule would permit Defendant to lead consumers to believe its Cheez-Its were made of whole grain so long as the crackers contained an iota of whole grain, along with 99.999% white flour. Such a rule would validate highly deceptive marketing.

LLaMA2 is still quite a bit behind ChatGPT 3.5 and this mainly get reflected in coding and math. It's easy to beat NLP based benchmark but much much harder to beat NLP+math+coding togather. I think this gap reflects gap in reasoning but we don't have a good non-coding/non-math benchmark to measure it.
There's no reason this couldn't have been built in Unity or Unreal. You can build literally anything (within the limits of computation) in those engines.
Why do so many feel so strongly against state?

In my 10+ year programming career not once have I ever wished something was functional. State simply is, dealing with it is a foundational concept in writing code.

"It's harder to test" -- so mock it in the tests.

"It's harder to reason about" -- you can see the references in your code and you can punch it into the debugger. If the state is implicit it is mentioned in the documentation that you've read right??

"It's hard to tell where changes come from" -- again, stepping through with a debugger makes this somewhat trivial. Find the line that turns state bad, then drill into whatever that line calls, repeat.

I'm not saying we should be adding external state willy-nilly. But it is hardly evil -- the dumb hacks that have appeared when a class or instance var would have done the trick boggle the mind.

Can someone please prove to me how FP isn't just another cargo cult?

Authenticity is important. Praising effort because you read it improves outcomes, even if you internally don’t think it’s praiseworthy, would be inauthentic and eventually degrade your relationship in my opinion. However I’ve been amazed by my daughter for multiple reasons simultaneously. I’ve seen her solve a problem and thought to myself “wow she is so clever and persistent”, then mainly focus on one of those aspects when discussing it later.

I'm a little confused by how the relationship works between OpenAI and Microsoft. It is possible for anyone to register for an OpenAI account and use their APIs. Within Azure the same thing is much more difficult as it is necessary to be a "real" business in order to use it. I maintain an open source OpenAI library and would like to add support for Azure but can't because of this restriction. Why can't I just use my regular Azure account?

Oh man,(spoilers) my pet theory is that the 'work' is actually them self-adjusting their implants. Remember they describe a number as a 'feeling' and some numbers 'feel' wrong. And we see behind the scenes that they are testing the main character with the psychiatrist/wife to see if it breaks the 'chips control/severance'.

They are simply engineers perfecting the implants so that they operate better.
That's completely untrue for Rome, and barely true at all for France in those days.

Roman landowners did not own their land by stealing it from other citizens with large armies. They owned their land by either receiving it from the state as payment, or by buying it. The Roman state had a definite monopoly on violence. In fact, when people commanded armies to take power in Rome, what they were trying to do was to take over the state, and the vast majority of the time those weren't private armies, but State armies that they were misusing.

The Roman state very very much had a monopoly on violence and roman agricultural tenants very very much were renting the landlords privately owned means of production.

Capitalism doesn't magically stop subsistence farming. The advance of science and nothing else makes that possible. The Romans had little interest in advancing fundamental technology because there was no money to be made doing it, and so they never made any advances beyond the domains engineering which were immediately profitable (like weapons and aqueducts and bridges). That's why they made barely any scientific progress in a thousand years.
Frankly, number of benchmarks you guys are using are too narrow. In fact these benchmarks are "old world" benchmarks, easy to game through finetuning and we should be stop using them altogether for LLMs. Why are you not using Big Bench Hard or OpenAI evals?

It was really good when the access was enabled via OpenAI, but ever since its moved to Azure subscription, getting preview access is stalled. Wouldn't be a big deal for others, but for smalltime devs like me it becomes a big challenge.. Hope OpenAI provides a developer env or so where we can try things out..
They've had one for awhile now, yeah. They were super quick to get things up and running for the platform back in 2021.

Who owns and manage product documentation in your OSS / dev tool startup?
Hi HN,

I'm Matteo and co-founder of Dozer (https://github.com/getdozer/dozer), a backend tool for building data products. Over the past few months we have done good progress with the product development but our documentation needs a lot of work. Myself, my co-founder and the entire team are juggling among many activities, and one of them is producing good documentation, and that is the part where we are bit struggling.

We have tried to hire a couple of tech writers but it's really not working out as we wanted. Our product is a dev product, and it is very hard to find tech writers who have that depth to think what a developer need. At the same time, asking the dev team to write documentation produces low quality docs (obviously devs prefer to write code and they just to go back to that as fast they can).

The result is that I end up writing most of documentation or refactoring the entire content produced by tech writer. But this approach will not scale.

How do you guys solved it? I'm curios to know about the approach of other startups.

Thanks
Matteo
> Whether "printing" money was a cause of generalized inflation is a matter of debate.

It's only a debate for people who haven't looked at the history of money and inflation. Inflation is always the result of an increase in the supply of money relative to the value of goods and services in the economy. It happens when there are gold rushes, silver rushes, and running the government printing press.

Our current inflation happened soon after a massive increase in deficit spending.
Yep, I'm priced out of the NZ market too, work remotely for a US remote only company who try to pay roughly equivalent salaries for equivalent positions.

When the recruiter told me the offered salary, I thought it was a typo, scam, or someone was smoking crack.

And the NZ software employers who cry the most about "a skills shortage" are ones that locals won't work for because they're known shit employers.

It has definitely quieted down. But I don't think it's over.

I think the next wave will be startups/companies coming out with very polished products using existing LLMs. At the same time, I think OpenAI and other companies will continue to come out with better models.

We might see another AI hype boom in a few months in my opinion.
You will be surprised execs will go to the extent to put up a fake front end. I would put more weight on the fired employee disclosing unternal details than to based on your impressions. After all, there are way more precedence of "nice people" with Bernie Madoff as a very good poster boy for that category.
" I can't imagine anything else you can possibly store about relative elements besides index and order (and nothing). Graphs are their own other planet, and I don't think we can easily say much about them. So the 3 data structure types you can have are:

1. indexed data structures with an O(n) worst-case operation

2. order-less data structures with an O(1) worst-case operation

3. sorted data structures with an O(log n) worst-case operation

That's it. Let me know what you think"

I disagree.

sorting is a O(n*log(n)) worst-case operation for example.
That assumption may not be correct, though maybe it is statistically better than a random Internet resume.

Where would you begin? Just talking doesn't do anything for me. I'm not into small talk or chit-chat. I think part of it for me is suspected neurodivergence, since I have great difficulty following what other people are coasting on instinctively. I'm drained within an hour or two and get incredibly irritable.

I went to a networking event once, on frontend dev and responsive design. This was back in 2012. I attended the talks and had some brief chatting, but the vibe there seemed like it was meant for people already well-networked or in the industry. I don't feel like I belong in these places, despite sharing an interest in computing.

Maybe printers are kind of a dead end business?

We want to be able to print things once in a while, but that's not enough to sustain a manufacturing business and certainly not much innovation.

Either someone comes up with a reason for people to print more and makes space in the market for innovation... or printing will just kind of suck forever.

The core network stack is going to be dual stack any way during at least the transition phrase, OSes like linux should allow v4/v6 communication.
they can, because now instead of having to re-instantiate std::vector<int> in every compilation unit it can just add it to the module's compiled unit and pull it in from there. Basically finally delivering on the promise of `export template foo<bar>` that never materialized after c++98

If you cannot get to the login page of the capitive portal, try to access a non-ssl site like http://neverssl.com

This is because captive portals typically intercept any HTTP requests made by users and redirect them to a login page. However, HTTPS requests are not intercepted in the same way, as the SSL handshake prevents the captive portal from intercepting the traffic and presenting the login page.

By visiting a non-SSL (HTTP) page initially, the captive portal can intercept the request and redirect to the login page, allowing you to authenticate and gain access to the network.

I invest it.

Occasionally the CC company will send me an offer of a loan for very low interest for a year. I run the numbers, and if it looks good, I'll take the loan and invest the money, and pay it back at the end of the term.

The CC company, of course, is hoping I'll miss payments so they can charge me 30% interest. I disappoint them.

For your previous comment. Do I assume you are a genX?

- one can give tons of reasons for non-repairable devices but the planet has only so much resources. Eventually Apple will enter the group of terrible companies like exxon/BP. Sure Tim Cook will be having the billions but if more companies like tesla is following apple's strategy if vertical integration

Either govts will interfere

Or

Planet is trashed.

- TV, phones have always been repairable. Even recently some one posted repairing a sony Trinitron.

- even if apple doesnot want to do the repair of a chip, capacitor they can make them available

- or not sue if 3rd party does it

- Louis rossman can replace a failed charging chip from an old logic/mother board. He/others like ifixit only tell apple to supply it or allow others to manufacture.

So far all the comments are against great person theory. But what is the counterpoint? Companies like Apple and spaceX are just inevitable and some lucky bastards will just stumble upon them? That’s nonsense. There might be more than one candidate to become Steve Jobs but not that many.

Would e-commerce have evolved without JeffB or smartphones be invented without Apple? Probably, but it might have taken longer, or they might have been invented in another country, greatly hurting America’s prospects. To this date Amazon has the best e-commerce logistics on the planet.

Doing things ahead of its time, by gathering the right people and enough money, is a very unique skill. Couple that with being well positioned for a certain “inevitable” innovation and that limits the number of people even more.

There’s also a compounding effect. Walking backwards from humanity’s global tech maxima, if every key innovation was late by a few years, the overall maxima might be late by hundreds of years, maybe worse. Maybe humanity ends due to an asteroid impact because we didn't get advanced enough to protect ourselves in time.
I run a large multi-campus network. At least 75% of our outgoing Internet traffic is IPv6. Looking at home ISPs accessing our services, it’s at least the majority of them coming in on IPv6. My guess is it’s a similar ratio as outgoing.

What do you mean by state ?

Nobody is against "state", like, for sure, you need your data anyway.

What I see that people are calling "state" is just deriving your final state from your original data, like in FP but saving your derived data into memory with a different lifetime than your og data.

FP style don’t promote anything complicated other than just don’t save your derived data, just recalculate it each time. Doesn’t mean that you can’t have performance : in fact most of the time, the memory is the bottleneck anyway.

Storing your state makes you responsible for synchronization which is where your bugs are going to hide.
When will LLMs be good enough to write the code for a competitive or better LLM to themselves?
FWIW, this was posted to HN on Sept 30th* and gained zero traction, with even the poster deleting their own comment.

As I posted there, it's a really good concept. Add in levels (eg microcontroller in $interesting_product, is on a smartphone, load balancer or api box for a SaaS company), with the levels letting you introduce concepts one at a time, and then you've got yourself a college grade operating systems class. Throw in a bit of programming for automation and dig deep into OS cache algorithms (LRU baby!) and that's something I could have finished before I graduated high school.

> Contexts can be confusing, unfortunately. They're based off of bounded contexts from Domain Driven Design. I wouldn't say there is one right way to use Phoenix contexts, though reading up on DDD's bounded contexts really helps. I already had DDD experience before I learned Elixir, though, so it's easy for me to say and maybe more of a pain for others who don't want to do that.

Jenny Shih gave a talk comparing Phoenix contexts with DDD bounded contexts.

It should be noted that pockets of jumbogram-in-the-wild exist. It's just normalised to clamp it to the point few people can exploit it.

For example, the NBN in Australia uses a 2000+ layer-2 frame and nothing like 500 bytes is consumed to mark the upper carrier. They COULD have gone higher than 1500 and I would be surprised if there arent customers using 1300 or less because of the ADSL configuration they brought over when they uplifted from a real modem.

A lot of people do 9000 in their filestore network. They know it works on the local segment. Reducing the forwarding burden in header-TCAM-routing by a factor of 5 is a significant win, if you have a lot of packets.

People continue to discuss mechanistic approaches to finding your MTU in the IETF but I think you're right: its 1500 or less pretty much forever unless somebody makes a move here for product differentiation reasons. Given the embedding of content inside the ISP or at the IX, I suspect it COULD happen, if e.g. Netflix said it was a better overall experience? The ISPs would do it.
