I was unemployed and had an interview at a small startup. I was anxious so I was playing games in the morning to keep things calm, and I decided to stream what I was playing for a few friends.

When I got to the interview they asked me about the game I was playing. It really threw me off. I've always tried to be really careful about linking my real name to my online presence and I always search myself to see if I can find myself when I'm interviewing to make sure there's nothing I need to scrub.

They found me anyway. I'm still not sure how exactly. I'm not a genius about online opsec but I like to think I'm more careful than most.

I wound up programming an interview exam program for them (which they paid me for, super nice) and they did offer me the job, but I was still weirded out that they dug into me so much online. I decided I didn't want an employer that monitors my non-work Internet activity so I declined.

I'm not stupid. I know that most employers probably try and monitor their workers social media for questionable stuff, but my hope is that most aren't trying too hard to track down all of my pseudonyms. Or they don't care what I do as long as I don't post with my real name or the company name.
You get more of what you subsidise. Looks like that social grant did as designed and created a shitload of social grant recipients - politically useful to someone, at vast human cost.
Well actually *dons glasses*, he didn't say "mandate without a hint of knowledge or responsibility"...
miro works slightly better than Gliffy, imo.
Generating from a finetuned GPT 3.5 Turbo is 8x the cost of generating from the base model, so you really have to be in the “reduce prompt size by 90%” bucket they mention to get cost effectiveness out of it.
Maturity to fix most compiler bugs? Yes, on x86_64 (some bugs remain on other architectures). But you can still expect your code to break between zig versions.
I’ve had this discussion before but essentially it’s that nobody (very few) really want to buy low quality products.
They do if that is the only thing they can afford because of other shortcomings of society.

Edit: Found the previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36630612
I've never used it either, I remember it back from Gateway 2000 days, and an article on OSnews. I have read those HN articles, interesting stuff.

More pieces of the puzzle - intent vs. elate.

If you've got time, here is a LONG tale (with links to sources) about the Amiga Gatgeway/ Hyperion saga legal saga..

I never had an Amiga growing up, but AmigaForever & Amikit work well as emulators.
Early on, Unix was in use across the phone company and normal people used it for their every day tasks. All Unix users read the manual. Otherwise you're not really a Unix user.
The core problem surrounding LLMs is personification. Narratives that surround LLMs have failed to draw a clear distinction between what they hope to be, and what they are.

An LLM hopes to be an "intelligence" that can understand and manipulate text along the logical boundaries of language; and do so intentionally.

What an LLM really is, is an inference model that can reorganize text across boundaries that closely "align to" real language patterns. This is accomplished by creating a completely new pattern (the model) from inferring whatever patterns already exist in the training corpus' text.

A Large Language Model (LLM) serves as an alternative to true language comprehension. It is not an equivalent replacement, nor does it intelligently navigate itself with any explicit intent.

The act of "intelligently navigating the content of language" is at the core of journalism. It's incredibly important for journalist to both recognize and articulate the difference between an Artificial Intelligence realized, and any technology in the category of AI pursuit.
Is it not still blocked, or at least under heavy scrutiny? I would also dread Figma being folded into Adobe's bloated ecosystem. Thank god for penpot as mentioned in another comment as I would need an alternative if Figma does indeed get taken over by Adobe.
That’s weird, I wonder which program did it.

I typically get a day of work out of my Zenbook flip 13; I haven’t really measured the battery performance rigorously because it is easily long enough that I don’t think about it (the battery indicator will say 14 hours, but those are of course pretty flaky). I’m a vim/Firefox with ads blocked guy though so I guess I must not be making it work very hard.
Can't do it to humans though.

> "Critic": folks who know (or think they know) but don't have the mandate and aren't taking the responsibility are on the sidelines explaining why those that do have the responsibility and/or mandate are Doing It Wrong.

This is an entire class of people who have learned how to thrive in companies with broken ownership.

When a team gets to this point it's usually because the reward structure is so broken that the only way to lose is to actual own something. It becomes more beneficial to put on a show and play politics than anything else, because you can't be wrong if you never actually do the work.

Healthy organizations recognize the people who aren't actually doing any work and either get them to work or get them removed from the situation. Bad organizations promote these people because their criticism and posturing are two things that help the status quo. The more ammunition you have to criticize the doers, the more you can elevate yourself over them in the broken political hierarchy.
Have you been to Copenhagen? In most places people leave their bike on the street without lock, sometimes for few days. Maybe not carbon superbikes but a lot of 0-400€ bikes along the streets at night.

For what I saw it is a cosmopolitan city but not sure about that.

They email me, or call and leave a message on my answering machine, or sometimes even write me a letter that eventually finds its way to my house. I get the message and answer it when I have time.

In the not so distant past, it was perfectly normal for a person not to be reachable at all times. Today it became a luxury. I choose to indulge in it.
A gas furnace isn't 100% either (103% is impossible, they lie about what 100% means), and gas to electric can go up to 60%. Heat pumps can also go over 300%, so it's definitely possible for a heat pump to beat a gas furnace.
> more affordances for accessibility than Flash ever did

TBF one thing Flash did manage to achieve was the proliferation of web sites and apps that were as hard to use for people without protected disabilities as for people who did have them.

Whether this increased empathy for people with disabilities is an open question
"Mental disorders" is overly broad. It sounds like we're talking schizophrenia here.
To maybe add a helpful analogy. Some meditative states aren't very different that an intense dose of psychedelics. Not to mention the person is "dosed" without expecting it.

If it's done unsupervised or without a support system such as a guide or teacher, the experience can be traumatic.
gotta wait til fall for general availability of fine tuning? looks like there's a legacy version too?

I'm all for discussing the different and various causes of that, and the comment you replied to is very awkwardly phrased but since you asked the question here is the beginning of an answer:

Depending on the country statistics can help. In France 30-40% of theft are committed by foreigners, which only represent ~8% of the overall population. If you narrow down to specific areas it gets even more obvious, in Paris it's ~75% of thefts

Out of these ~60% are from Africa/Middle east, the rest mostly from EU and non-EU Europe (mostly far east) or Asia.

I'm sure it was and I'm glad you submitted it! It was fun to read.
A while back I interviewed with a networking company in the bay area and one of the things the interviewer asked me do was to devise an algorithm to walk the fully connected graph without visiting any edge twice if possible. Was a nice problem to discuss, he moved me along nicely in my thought process and we eventually reached a recursive solution. So the length of this walk is basically this formula.

He told me they are using such an algorithm in some of their products and he picks the brain of potential hires to see if they find a more elegant way of doing so. Left a great impression, he really cared about thought processes and communicating! (I didn't end up taking the job for reasons unrelated to the company or the offer.)
Rust seems to do find with a de-facto logging library, and the Java ecosystem seems to have converged on a common API, but with a lot of effort I think.
Correct. All the "cost estimates" are far higher than the ACTUAL COSTS with 70-year-old technology.

Maddening.

If you have an iPhone, don't bother getting the physical Suica card. You can add one in the Wallet app, and also charge it with your credit card directly! Moreover, you can do this ahead of time, before arrival to Japan.

Wallet app -> "+" on top right corner -> Transit Card -> Japan -> Suica.

Choose PASMO or ICOCA if you want to be different. ;-) All three are functionally equivalent.

The virtual card will work anywhere the physical card's accepted, so transit, convenience stores[0], vending machines, etc. IMHO there's no reason to get a physical card, unless you want a souvenir.

I'm sure the same could be done on Android, but I don't know the procedures.

[0] At least in Tokyo, many convenience stores will also accept contactless credit card payments (i.e. Apple Pay), even foreign cards. The process is sometimes a little convoluted, however, so if you just want to grab & go, use Suica and say "Suica de" and 99% you'll be in & out in less than a minute.
There was an article posted here a month or so ago about how this guy was seeing a new class of worker emerge who both understood the necessity of absorbing knowledge from other domains and enjoyed the process. It reminded me of a dev I worked with who'd go on smoke breaks with the art department and then change data structures we'd been using forever.
Slog is an amazing name
Reminds me of the reinforced door in my old apartment; when I got in there it was evident the door had been previously forced open. It was also repaired and would work properly, but signs still were very easy to spot. I chose to keep it although apartment theft was quite common there, the idea being that it should have worked as a deterrent, and it did: I left that house over 20 years later without any burglaries.
Similarities and differences in perspective:

"...you were taught in [Jesus]... to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness." -- Ephesians 4:20-24

"[O]ur mind is trained to function this way in response to some stimuli" vs "our old self is corrupted through deceitful desires". The former sounds non-judgemental, but by saying that this realization should "lead you to develop new, more wholesome habits, in adequation with reality, which make you and others suffer less", it's implying that the previous habits were unwholesome (cf "corrupt"), not in adequation with reality (cf "deceitful") and made you and others suffer more.

I think insofar as psychotherapy is reluctant to discard bits of the "[old] self", the two perspectives would agree that it's a dead end.

I do have to say, personally I like the sound of having a "new self, created after the likeness of God" better than "realizing I'm just a bundle of habits, then replacing some habits with better ones." :-)

Huberman has a PhD in neurobiology and teaches that discipline at a top-tier institution (Stanford), where he also runs a lab. He's published several articles in Nature, a top science journal. His subspecialty happens to be vision, which includes how light affects the eyes and brain. So his expertise is particularly strong in this regard. I happen to trust his judgment on many other aspects of neurobiology, and have been a regular listener since he began his podcast. His advice and insights have changed my life in many positive ways; that is, I do many of the things he recommends and I feel healthier, calmer and more energetic because of it. His 2.5 hour podcasts run a bit long and he does not know how to condense his message well. That's the main downside, but if you can find synopses of transcripts, or just play him at 1.5x speed, you can save some time.

I think any context in which the US invades another country and kills a million civilians is a “hot war.” Otherwise, you’ve gone so far down a “war is peace” rabbit hole that you’re no longer in touch with reality.

>no legitimate reason for people from those places to be seeking asylum in Canada

>there were numerous safer countries that were much, much, much closer

>Those are the countries where those people should have ended up

>legitimate refugees

Yeah, I expect to hear these talking points a lot more in the future. Not that I'm one of those open-borders wingnuts, just pointing out the inevitable slide towards populism in the face of crushing economic and ecological realities.
I wonder why is much more expensive.
Seriously? You again?

Here's the federal definition:

And since you don't seem to be a big reader, I'll point out the passage that makes you look most like a fool.

> Petty slights, annoyances, and isolated incidents (unless extremely serious) will not rise to the level of illegality. To be unlawful, the conduct must create a work environment that would be intimidating, hostile, or offensive to reasonable people.

Every time you respond you look more and more like a demagogic tool. Now run along.
I find people constantly looking at their watches while having a conversation to be incredibly annoying.

With my phone, all I have to do is reach into my pocket and hit to volume button to stop the vibration, I never need to break eye contact with the people I'm talking to. With a watch, they seem to always have to look down at it, even if they're dismissing the notification.
Quite exciting, this is the first time their "Chat" model is available for finetuning.

Has anyone successfully bypassed the current Ai detectors using fine-tuned models? I know it's possible, I'm just trying to conceptualize how the dataset would be organized...
TPG is paid astroturfing by the banks and it exists to pitch cards and inflate consumer perception of the value of points. Disregard it.

If you want to use "reasonable" bootstrap values, I'd suggest using figures from Doctor of Credit, which is one of the few large blogs I actually trust.

On this topic:

https://www.doctorofcredit.com/common-loyalty-points-miles-v...

One of the arguments made in this article is that many brands effectively "sell" points (e.g. by offering double point nightly rates), and the points should NEVER be valued above this.

Specifically for MR points, they identify 1 cent as a "good" redemption and 0.85 as the "cash out" value:

It doesn't matter that you don't take on debt. The point is to protect yourself from unscrupulous individuals who want you to take on debt on their behalf.
You can consider porting your landline number to a VOIP service (I use voip.ms) and after that it's nearly free. I bought a basic Linksys modem (SPA2102) so that we can still plug in our cordless phones in an use them normally.

As a bonus you can set up simple filtering so that you don't get many spam calls. For me, all calls that have an anonymous or 800 number in the caller ID get redirected to a voice prompt that asks the caller to press 9 to talk to us; all other calls just ring our phone directly. You could also use whitelists, blacklists, etc.

It's both better and cheaper than a regular landline...
Fukushima is what happens when you build a nuclear reactor on a literal fault line + tsunami zone.

(In Japan's defense, the whole country is a fault line. But the US doesn't have that problem.)

I bet Adobe would like to back out of the deal too, they paid an extreme premium before tech took a general nosedive. I doubt Figma is worth $20 billion in todays climate.
The article misstates that Tesla redacted when ADAS was in use, which is incorrect. They redact which version was in use.
You're missing the point: anyone can claim they "invented" the flying car or 2-way wrist radio. So looking back at 1919 and saying the "idea" of a pocket phone was profound is as silly as the guy who claims he invented email because he was the first one to use the word.

It isn't a "criticism" that he didn't realize the device.

As for the social implications: so what? Survivor Bias / Hindsight Bias going on here. There were probably a lot of predictions made in 1919 that never panned out.
That’s a good point. I think it would be random without some sorting shenanigans.
You don't need a JDM model iPhone, as long as it's new enough (after 12?) The virtual Suica card works seamlessly on my US-model iPhone 12 mini.
Also, from a practical perspective, even Adobe never had a fully working (feature parity to desktop) way to actually load Flash on the iPhone. Apple kept asking for one: Adobe could never produce something that wasn’t buggy crap.

There were some 3rd party things that sorta worked a bit, but they were not good either.

Flash was bad on touchscreens for sure, but we’d have seen content adapt eventually anyhow, if it had actually ever worked in the first place.

A fuel-powered ship can ramp output up and down as needed, since the per-power costs of the powerplant aren't that high.

Nuclear power plants are much more expensive, and require a much higher (and more expensive) level of labor. These fixed costs are not reduced when full power is not needed.
Have you considered teaching in adult education?
I don't think being able to reverse engineer your project is actually a good qualification for hiring you, considering your employees don't need to do that.

Also, isn't she a high schooler/freshman? There's always internships but it's best to do other things before grinding those out.
log/slog package essentially delegates writing log messages to some "handler" interface. The key method is:

Handle(context.Context, Record) error

This method has access to the context, which means you can get the logging handler to extract values from the context. Instead of storing the logger on the context, you can extract the traceId, etc values from the context and log those.

It's a little bit involved to write a whole logger from scratch, but you can 'wrap' the existing logger handlers and include values from the context relatively easily.

There are examples in this project (which aims to help solve your usecase): https://github.com/zknill/slogmw

Hold up, what's immoral about vigilantism? That generally only happens when the system fails to do its job.

I'd say the belief that 'the system' is correct by default is more dangerous, mainly due to being rooted in dogma moreso than defensible reason.
If you do a lot of retrieval augmentation, then the 8x cost might still be cheaper than burning a lot of tokens on injected context.
ChatGPT but instead of learning from the internet and then producing text, learning from the internet + < your additional information > and then producing text.

It's an announcement about the availability of a feature to do that. The article doesn't mention the biggest issue with fine-tuned models though - cost.
my bad -
Fine-tuning for GPT-3.5 Turbo is now available, with fine-tuning for GPT-4 coming this fall.

Support for fine-tuning with function calling and gpt-3.5-turbo-16k will be coming later this fall.
UML is awful when you pick up its meta stuff and try to use it 100% perfect.

Otherwise it has all critical modeling methods and established a shared visual understanding. I prefer UML any day over eg lucidchart or Visio. Not that they cannot draw an architecture but boxes are what exactly again there?

I especially like UML because there are no AWS logos and database icons. When drawing diagrams I am not there to impress how many icons I can do.

How believable must greenwashing campaigns be nowadays?
Apology in advance: content is in German and country-specific.

A Google Translate link won't work because of language-specific content that is apparently rendered client-side after accepting the data collection modal.

The slogan of the campaign is "I'm beautiful" (similar to the once-popular pop song). The campaign celebrates McDonald's ostensively outdtanding recycling efforts and frames it as a net-positive contribution to the environment. At least the last sentence is what I take away from the claim that a McD cup would be "beautiful" because they claim it would be recycled to provide material for school books.

Are there people on HN who believe that this is a valuable contribution, not "greenwashing"?
You won't get far with that approach in communication with such people on social media. That is, assuming the fault isn't with you, if you're on the spectrum, for instance, etc.

As you correctly realized yourself it is not common for people on social media to read attentively and between the lines, discern fallacies, take prior context into account or to focus on the objective substance of a subject without involving any personal attachments.

So you need to make sure you write down your entire thought process with quotes and examples. Don't skip even the obvious. Tell your position from a personal point of view, like this post, rather than formulating a more generalized, abstract argument.

Naturally, that part applies before someone starts trolling or becomes hostile.

When they do, then mute and move on. If you have no other goals, such a conversation is less than a drop in the ocean.
I introduced C4 into my org a few years ago after disparate and unfocused documentation (if there even was any) and a lack of organizational competency on our own systems.

We’ve found that you get a lot of value out of the first two levels of C4 alone. If your shop is good at UML and keeping it up-to-date, awesome, that work snaps right in as the additional layers. But whether you do 3 and 4 or not, context and container give everyone a lay of the land in easy to digest, progressive glimpses. Plus, the approach is so simple you can use it in whiteboard sketches, back of the napkin, or whatever you’ve got.

Personally, I use PlantUML with a plug-in for your IDE of choice to author our formal artifacts. Excalidraw for doing it during real-time collaboration sessions. All of this is free.
