I think a similar effect is seen in the US. Perusing the (notably fewer) recruiter emails I’ve gotten lately, they’re almost all below my current pay. Contrasted with a year ago, probably 30-40% of cold recruiter outreach were for higher paying gigs than my current job.

I’m also seeing developers with killer resumes complaining in community slack channels about not even getting called back for follow-up interviews. These are people that I would’ve cleaned up in referral fees back when the market was hot. Times have definitely changed.

It’s clear that the tech industry and engineering pay flourished under low interest rates and free flowing VC money. Those days are clearly behind us, at least for now.

This is how I understand business, being a small scale kind of guy. But how does it align with the prevalent business model of supercharging growth with capital?

These companies are unprofitable and not default alive, but if you can keep pumping them until they become profitable, they survive.
OMG! I read the SBCL release notes every month, but when you put together recent highlights like this, I'm blown away. Android binaries? True static executables? Yes, please!

This is impressive progress, especially for a language so many have written off as moribund. And that's just one implementation of the spec. ECL, ABCL, and Clasp are all progressing at a brisk pace too. Maybe the only good language is a dead language.
I was at Cloud9 which was acquired by Amazon. We took most of the existing frontend and tech and rebuilt the backend on AWS, then relaunched it as AWS Cloud9. In the meantime we sunset the existing service.

I'd assume the same thing is going to happen here.

The Spec itself is 'badly written Java'. I haven't been a Java dev for about ten years. At this point it's a honey pot for architectural astronauts - a great service to humanity.

That is, until some open standard is defined by said Java astronauts.

For everyone?
Is it good for the employee and good for the company, good for the employee and neutral for the company, or good for the employee and bad for the company?

In all those cases, I'd expect employees to prefer it, but I can see the company having quite different views across the various scenarios.

For myself, I thought I'd absolutely hate working from home full-time. It turns out I love it. I don't think it's obviously good for the company, but I'm not sure how bad vs neutral vs epsilon-positive it is.
The burden of proof to prove a crime still falls on the accuser. Nothing has changed there.

I also don't think the interpretation has changed at all. We're still using the Howey test. The SEC took no immediate position on the cryptoetcetera community's various inventions, but they certainly didn't give anything their approval that they have since withdrawn. I'll note how much the more socially legitimate end of that community have been asking for "regulatory clarity".

The problem is that they now have clarity and don't like it. And I'm sure they don't. They were hoping to sweep aside the regulatory regime set up in 1934, which was in response to the crash of 1929. But I don't think we need any particular safe harbor for people who tried to dodge regulators and lost.

Providing social welfare and early retirement will be impossible in France as the ratio of workers to retirees falls to 1.5. Retirement ages will increase and benefits will be cut. That is inevitable now regardless of who is elected president.

There are different levels of quantization available for different models (if that's what you mean :). E.g. here are the versions available for Llama 2: https://ollama.ai/library/llama2/tags which go down to 2-bit quantization (which surprisingly still happens to work reasonably well).

Thank you so much for your message! I would love to pick your brain if you are available, is there a way for me to contact you?
LOL the fed, yeah them too!
Thanks, I'm surprised I didn't realize that before.
The difference is that no one selling baseball cards or sneakers is saying "if you buy this you get a share of my entire business".
I've seen many use these ideas as a justification to cut anyone out of their lives because they did work for them. Eventually, they lose all sense of purpose as they no longer have anyone to care for (and care for them) and they end up sinking even further into their depression.
I like that they tell you the link they deleted so at the least you haven't lost any data.

You've lost functionality of course since this is a publicly viewed set of links. My comment isn't any sort of defense of google (why would I defend them?). But it is funny, as if "our lawyers/my boss said we had to delete this so I'm going to publish it one more time"
This is why I'm just so disenfranchised with this site anymore. Just another echo chamber of people repeating whatever they think or want to be true to align with their cults of personality.

I don't ride a Telsa or an Elon and I know that's not true. SMH.
How do you represent state machines, ASTs, or messages of different types? Sum types are great for those! I assume you don’t use std::variant for that? Have you ever written a tagged union when std::variant was available for clarity? Why the tagging boilerplate?
I hear this point from time to time, but you have to realise that consumer-grade hardware would never be used in any reasonable company. The business risk of not having a support contract in place is too high, so you need a support contract, which means buying supportable hardware, which means enterprise-grade gear, which means enterprise pricing. Your 50TB just turned into a 10TB array in a disk shelf plus some tape storage, at probably 20-30 grand total, plus support.
I had some exploratory conversations with them last year.

Um, yea, this is just factual. There is exactly 1 Kia and 1 Hyundai to go after.

Meanwhile there are a near unlimited number of potential car thieves. Throwing one in jail does just about nothing for the next person in line willing to steal the car.
I'm not sure why people assume that either. These are interesting points. I know very little about formal poetry, but I consider art to be expression. So what I meant is that there is an art to the way we live our lives. Many people of the modern era are very rational and technical and lean hard into a "command and control" style way of living that's very focused on future results. I think its in a way limiting, and to our detriment. So like the great masters, I try to find a balance between pure spontaneity and pure formality.
Most tech talent isn't worth anything. A few are worth an insane amount. Companies can't tell which are which until they're in the door. The laid off workers are in the mediocre and lower bucket. This is a viewpoint I've been told by HR at multiple top quant funds
No, it's just you're talking to yourself. You are not interacting with the points raised by the person you reply to, you just twist them into a straw man to beat down on. Which is fine, but doesn't require the presence of anyone but you.

You respond to that with

All my more recent alu macbook did the same. I can feel the roughness as soon as it's plugged in. If you rub over it with a hand you feel this 'friction'. It's hard to explain.

You can also measure it by the way. It's significant voltage but can't sustain any current of any kind. My hypothesis was that it's some minor induction from the PSU transformer being picked up by the shielding and transferred to the laptop through the ground wire.

But the pitting, no. But I never got that back in the day with my 15" PowerBook either. I mustn't have the right chemistry.

I'm just saying that if you have the pitting, using a grounded socket might make the chemistry different in a way that it causes this less. Putting an electric charge on metal is used to prevent corrosion in underground fuel tanks for example, but it can do the opposite too. Ships do it too but they usually use 'sacrificial metals' to transfer the corrosion to.

PS: I don't know the correct English terminology for the above because when I did chemistry it was a long time ago and in Dutch.
Yes it lost a lot of integrity for me when it shows New Zealand as having one single ecological system (bioregion) - a country arguably as biodiverse as the entire USA which it shows having at least 18 bioregions. Disappointing.
> sometimes take tens of minutes each time

you only do that for the final build. It does prevent unscrupulous malware distributors, since there's now a paper trail linking it back to you if you did bad.

Of course, this could be abused by apple to gatekeep, and it doesn't prevent the user from downloading the app and bypassing this security measure (so does not in actual fact stop all malware).
The pizza restaurant (gourmet pizza, not crap) around the corner where I live is workers owned. The previous owner went bankrupt and left his employees hanging out to dry, so they took ownership of the place. Not sure about the legal situation (e.g. whether they bought the restaurant from the owner or what) but it's been workers owned for the past few years and doing well, judging by how full it always is. I eat and take out from there and it's pretty good quality.

This is not the first decent workers owned restaurant I've known, so I'm going to answer: yes, it can work.

Defcon: Bypass macOS Background Persistence Security with Sigkill [video]
I think it's a theory because that's what's useful for the people with power to believe and have others believe. It's the same deal with any elite; their first task is to secure a tacit belief in their superiority. CEO salaries have rocketed up in recent decades. Is that because they're wildly better? I don't think so.
Yeah I just stopped paying for Jetbrains to move 100% to VS Code just a few months ago

I was using both before but the upcoming annual payment reminded me that its over
If you’re in a developed nation, and unless you expect the earth to go through an irreversible Venus syndrome in the next century, I don’t see how this argument is anything more than a fig leaf for more fundamental social ailments. What would you say to someone in 700 AD, for whom the next 1000 years were more likely to be objectively worse in terms of quality of life than the next 1000, even accounting for what climate change is expected, intervention notwithstanding.

The costs of childcare, housing and education have exploded, and even establishing the relationship needed to do the deed in the first place is arguably harder than it s been. That sucks and there’s little any individual can do about it, despite the rhetoric blaming it on the generations most likely to be impacted by it. Climate is a convenient scapegoat to deflect blame, but we were never to blame in the first place.
I worked at Perkins in another lifetime. They had 99 year leases on land where they built stores.

If the Russians were so sure of the vote in Crimea they would not have had to use guns to make sure it went the direction they wanted.
It's not one-click, or at least it wasn't for me. I clicked the link in the sentence "If you prefer to opt out of letting Fi use and share your CPNI with Alphabet and Google services, you can do so by replying here", and it took me to the Google Fi homepage. I had to then click on Settings, "Privacy & Security", and finally on "Allow CPNI Sharing". Four clicks total.

No and bored apes don't either. Royalties on NFT sales have mostly gone away now when big marketplaces like Blur started ignoring them.
"Can't people in the US go out and shoot other people, because it is the land of the free?"

No, there are still laws, and fraud is illegal.
Lol. Sure. I'm absolutely fine with that and everything else it would imply.

The entire issue of excessive CEO compensation for the sake of driving stock price, while being completely divorced from any repercussions of any knowingly harmful actions is exactly the capitalism part of "late stage capitalism" that sucks.

Let's restate your question -- Why should shareholders not get to benefit from blatant disregard for truth or safety without any liability on the line when that stance results in collateral damage?
I'm honestly thinking that one of the statsd variants with label support would have been just fine if I'd had a time machine. The complexity overhead of labels in OpenTelemetry does not make it the slam-dunk it appears to be.

Internally, OTEL has to keep track of every combination of labels it's seen since process start, which can easily come to dominate the processing time in an existing project. It's another in a long line of tools that dovetail with my overall software development philosophy which is that you can make pretty much any process work for 18 months before the wheels fall off.

By the time you notice OpenTelemetry is a problem, you've got 18 months of work to start trying to roll back.
If I were to make a normal desktop app for Mac I'd use AppKit.

IMO, a lot of the UI things apple has introduced in the last few years have been attempting to get the people making apps for iOS to also make them for macOS in a way that isn't just an iOS app running on a larger screen.

I guess the alternative is that everyone continues making these horrific apps built on top of chrome wrappers like electron, bring Sun's vision of everyone shipping a single crappy app to every platform.

> I'm sorry, but how the hell is a trillion dollar company getting this wrong? Apple has broken priorities, and shilling/fanboying for them on here is not going to fix the problem.

I'm sure you have a solution then? One that doesn't require the alternative of "every app must be from a central store that reviews and approves every app"?

> shilling/fanboying for them on here is not going to fix the problem.

Name calling and personal attacks doesn't help anyone, and it certainly doesn't inspire me to think you're willing to argue in good faith.
I so wish that that were true. No, a lot more is made than what is available to you.
This sounds like an engineering student arguing with an old tech... 'but the science says ...'.
How do people forget we live in an uncontained system with uncountable variables and no single direction?
I just don't understand how sex work (and especially video sex work) equates to drug abuse.

I know many OnlyFans performers and only one of them has a drug problem (and had this already before she turned to OnlyFans). She's also not very popular because it's pretty clear that she has this problem. That's why it's such a bad combo. The successful ones (well, successful as in they make a few hundred bucks a month because it's not a goldmine) make much higher quality and have a normal day job / life.

Like I said some sex work does really correlate with drug abuse but it's really the lowest-quality street prostitution, girls that turn tricks for a few bucks to pay for their drug habit. They won't be popular on OnlyFans because they simply look awful. It's terrible but the sex work is a result of their drug abuse, not the other way around. The same with the petty theft surrounding drug abusers.
Great idea! Thanks for the feedback!
It's absolutely true in some domains. I've got several million lines of F77 and no money to update it and an absolute mandate not to change a single compiler flag.
One key difference between MTG cards (or baseball cards, or most any traditional collectible item) and NFTs: If the SEC shut down Wizards of the Coast and/or caused them to radically alter their businesses, old Magic cards would likely rise in value as a result, rather than cease having any material value whatsoever, as is the case with most digital assets.
Yeah, I mean, if they care, it will be about preventing you from using unproven stuff next to their lines. So even worse in this context :-/
Perhaps all that money distorts the reality your business operates in and makes you blind to problems you should be solving.

It's a bit like having your parents paying all your bills. You might never develop the skills and spending habits that befits your real budget.

I don't know, I don't make Chrome. But if I had to guess, most people want to be able to lose a key (in this case a completely separate password) without losing all their syncable browser stuff.

Edit: a fun way to think through the design constraints is to think about "how come Apple default-e2e syncs all sorts of things without an extra password but Chrome doesn't"
Maybe HN could automatically link to the Internet Archive version of the story once someone posts it as a comment like often happens...
No, what I mean is that it seems as though there is quite a bit of sparseness to the matrix and I was wondering if that can somehow be used to further shrink the model, quantization is another effect (it leaves the shape of the various elements as they are but reduces their bit-depth).
My job is messy. AI isn't about to replace that or figure it out. Humans naturally are inclined to create complexity. Product owners, designers, etc.; the apparatus of business. It all comes down to us.

AI can take the business of shunting flat boring data around in APIs, but everything else isn't quite such low hanging fruit. It can also have a crack at complex data analysis in really constrained problems, say, feature detection. I can't see dealing with the infinitely variable whims of UI designers or approaching new problems to be within its purview however.
> it's not really SF as most people think of SF

As well as the Roadside picknick, the Doomed city, A billion years before the end of the world, the Ugly swans, etc etc - really most of their books - it’s a good literature and not a sf in its usual sense.
I just asked ChatGPT to give me directions to my favorite shop in Manhattan from Penn Station. It gave me wrong public transit directions about which subway to take. It also gave me wrong walking directions, putting me blocks off course and as to which side of the street I'd find the shop on.

The only thing it got right was: "Please note that subway schedules and routes can vary, so it's a good idea to use a navigation app like Google Maps or the official MTA website for real-time information and step-by-step directions."

On the other hand, if users are confusing Collections and sync'd bookmarks, is that really the user's fault? Or is it Google's for designing a UX that has people "accidentally" sharing bookmarks thru Google instead of using the E2E-able browser sync?

I can see someone saying, "ok, we launched Collections, your KPI is to increase usage by X%", and some UX designer figures "oh then we need to put Collections above Bookmarks and make it difficult to tell what's the difference so that we can say that Collections 'has traction'".
What?!? The earth is flat.
This has been the weirdest part of the current wave of AI hype, the idea that you can build some kind of real business on top of somebody else's tech which is doing 99.9% of the work. There are hard limits on how much value you can add.

If you want to build something uniquely useful, you probably have to do your own training at least.
If the keys are strings and you can use Rust, have you considered fst [0]? If the keys have prefixes in common, it is very compact. There's a blog post about it [1]

[0] https://github.com/BurntSushi/fst

[1] https://blog.burntsushi.net/transducers/

The main limitation of it is that it doesn't support removal, but if removals are infrequent you can workaround that with another fst with removed items (and periodically rebuild the whole thing)
