Whether you have a single year of experience 10 times (or whatever ratio you experience) is orthogonal to whether you work for the same company.

Being employed as a programmer may or may not gain you new experience (which is what matters if you are to be a good generalist). Whether it does depends on whether you are _doing things new to you_ while being employed.
Agreed. I think many of these books were written by people who knew the subject themselves, and were just putting their knowledge on the page without much of a feedback and testing loop to see if it was using a method that transferred to a person who didn't already have that knowledge.

Also, far too much simply typing out code that was unexplained or had no basis in prior text to the learner.
I found "ROM" to be confusing because I always thought that meant you couldn't change it, but they mention swapping modifiable data in and out of there. It's actually EEPROM and I guess that is a little similar to Flash memory.

What are you seeing in 1995? The methane charts I'm looking at don't have anything that stands out to me then.

I'd be curious to know why we had a downward trend in methane from mid-80s to mid-oughts, and what caused that reverse over the last 20 years.
Nice idea in principle but I always try to avoid touching the cam to avoid getting it greasy. Which is the main reason I'm so happy with front fingerprint scanners, on my S8 it happened a lot that I touched the cam which was right beside the scanner.

Really cool idea though. Some brands do the same with the fingerprint scanner which react to swipes.

> Ok, I was hoping you would explain why those votes are bad

It is not up to me to decide whether those votes are "bad" but what I can conclude is that it is not surprising that crime rates rise when people vote for a party whose members are engaged in fighting those who fight crime either directly - "defund the police" etc. - or indirectly - prosecutors who refuse to prosecute, judges with an activist bent who are intent on "emptying the prisons" no matter the consequences, AGs who change the rules so that it becomes close to risk-free to engage in "petty theft" (<$1000 stolen per occasion is a misdemeanour and prosecutors have already shown not to prosecute those, etc).

> To be very blunt, I hope republicans do get their fascist way

You are not blunt but polarising - apart from being incorrect. Not everything you do not like is "fascist" just like not everything a conservative dislikes is "communist". Those words have meanings, use them wisely or you run the risk of losing them altogether. This has already largely happened to the term 'racist' which' willy-nilly application means it no longer means much if anything to be labelled such.

Republicans are no more "fascist" than "Democrats" are "communist". There may be some who show "fascist tendencies" in both parties but that does not mean the term is applicable to the parties in general.

> But what I think matters equally is that new idioms born outside of the natively spoken English should be seen as equally valuable, when they get a meaningful reach. I am thinking for example of "do the needful" which I understand being born in India.

Yes! Absolutely! I agree 100%. English contains multitudes!

What does it mean? I think I have even heard it. Where did it come from? Like, a poem or ...?
Gold, and t-bills for the cash portion. They do well at different times than gold. Over the past century, t-bill rates on average have pretty closely matched inflation.

Browne didn't advocate holding all your gold as physical coins in another country, because he wanted people to rebalance annually, which would be pretty difficult if the gold were held that way.

> They'll sell their privacy and rights gladly for a tiny bit of perceived convenience, entertainment or status.

How does that mean they have no spine? It sounds like they made a decision on what was more valuable to them. You could argue that they might not have been fully informed. But I think the reality is that they just don't care that much because they don't feel harmed by it. The segment of people that are going to even consider trying to repair a digital device rather than paying to get it fixed or getting a new one is probably vanishingly small (and very over-represented on this site).

I could easily see things going the other way, where the lack of digital privacy becomes even more of an unquestioned norm. These things can hold in a kind of equilibrium as long as the entities that hold the power don't use it to cause perceived harm above a threshold. We have the technology to do a lot more scanning of license plates, facial recognition, automated speeding tickets, etc. I'm kind of an optimist in that I think people will generally maintain this balance (or maybe a pragmatist - it's not really in their interest to upset the apple cart, but they will test the limits sometimes).

To add my 2 cents, when I play a text heavy game like a RPG and it has voice acting, I miss most of it because I skip the dialogue as soon as i finish reading it. If you make games please provide a skip button for those of us who can read.

However our preferences aren't the point of the article. It's the actors being cloned by the generative stuff that's in fashion without compensation that is.

As a gamer, based on the output of the image generators and chatgpt that i've seen, games making use of "AI" generated content will be borefests and I'll skip them anyway.
Just use Google or Youtube... This isn't some secret information, this is widely known among EV enthusiasts. Even reviews that weigh the car will illustrate the different sized packs - the 50kwh cars are of course lighter too. EV fans obsess over the cell form factor and battery chemistry much like combustion car fans know the internals of car engines. Tesla's own presentation videos (also on youtube) talk endlessly about the new battery cell form factors they've introduced too and which products they are applied to.

I am struggling to upgrade JupyterLab 3 to JupyerLab 4 on my local Anaconda base environment.

Feel frustrated by the amount of package management I need to do to keep my dev environment up to date.

I was going to spend this weekend installing and trying out the Jupyter AI plugin. Instead I tried and failed to upgrade jupyter and jupyterlab after spending hours on it.

I also tried this on Amazon Sagemaker Studio in my personal AWS account and ran into what looked like permissions issues preventing me from installing this extension.

This is not true. If you’re running a 4K monitor @2x scaling, it will look exactly the same as Apple’s 4K monitor @2x scaling. The issue is running 1080p monitors at their native resolution. Apple removed sub-pixel anti-aliasing a while back and 1080p monitors look really bad the last time I tried. Also, Apple’s displays are typically of a higher quality - they are better calibrated, have better colors, proper profiles for translating sRGB content into wide color gamuts etc.
I have a history book at home about the Plague. Re-reading that during Covid really drove the point home tgat as a society we are much less advanced than we love to believe. At least the people back in the 13-15th centuries, and before, had tue excuse of simply knowing jack shit about diseases, viruses, bacteria and the like. We on the other had none of those excuses.
This is interesting. The antithesis is probably the book Lifecycle Investing [0] which essentially concludes that you should be 2X leveraged stocks in your youth and slowly reduce leverage over time.

Being privileged doesn't mean one's life has no hardship. There are plenty of poor, white men, and Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire.

The way to think about it is take one of those poor white men and imagine he is black while the other things (wealth, schooling, location, etc) remain constant. While anything might happen, statistically that person's outcome would be worse as a black poor man than as a white poor man.
IMO it is important to understand transformer mechanics through core ML themes like SVM and feature-selection. Our results are not interpretation, they are mathematically rigorous and numerically verifiable. That said, we have no intention of trivializing a complex model like GPT-4 as a simple SVM. That is a tall order :)
I don't think the question about whether gaming addiction is a real problem or hyped up is all that relevant... China's agenda now is to raise birth rates. As such less time spent on games logically means more time available for IRL interaction which ultimately is required for babies to appear. Limiting gaming at young ages might be intended to create a habit.

The question whether bans work for everyone or not may also be semi irrelevant in this context. Obedient people following and perpetuating party rules (you know the kind who could play Xi's teachings to their unborn children etc.) will obey and they are desirable to reproduce. If others spend time gaming and self select against reproduction it's probably not too bad for the party.

Hard to say. Everything invested in the NASDAQ over the past 15 years would have been a great strategy. (Edit: high return strategy. Not necessarily a "good" one.) The 15 years before that probably not as good.

Putting money in a small number of index funds and not even looking at them probably isn't a bad strategy and the costs are pretty low. But it's not bulletproof.

I look at the financial advisor/firm as a form of diversification in part. I also keep my own portfolio small enough to have some (hopefully) intelligent opinion on whether the investments still make sense. (Including a decent weight on index funds.)

>That is the power of solidarity

Anything that relies on the generosity of others is bound to fail. Moreover, if AI generated background/voice actors are actually better than non-AI ones on net, then it stands to reason that studios that use that technology will outcompete studios that don't. The SAG might be able to force all american studios to not use it, but unless they can secure some sort of global agreement, that just means american studios will get out-competed by non-american studio that don't abide by the ban.
> As this says, margin accounts used in a certain way can put you at risk to lose more than your original investment. However, they are sometimes necessary to make investments with little to no additional risk. For example I may own $50,000 worth of XYZ Corp. and want to sell it on a Monday so as to buy $50,000 worth of DEF Corp on that same Monday. I can't do that if I don't have a margin account - settlement is usually T+2 days.

This isn't really leverage. Your brokerage is just extending you temporary credit to paper over the fact that stock trades take two days to settle. You're never net long more than 100% of your investment.

Guessing the future is hard, but I’ll try to change your mind by comparing future change to past change.

AI came for chess. When it became superhuman, did chess professionals go out of a job? Not really; people come to the tournament for the story, for the human achievement. VAs are under the same scope: people want to see stars form, even when they are microcelebrities. I don’t doubt that there will be an increase in AI-generated content and a paying public, just like there are people right now that pay to watch AIs play chess against each other. But it doesn’t remove the genuine article.

(Contrary to what many believe will happen, they weren’t replaced by people that use AI either.)

As a cherry on top, while the game AIs are policy-based RL and can become superhuman with no human data to bootstrap it, LLMs currently are effectively SL and need to feed off human data. If the production of the latter dropped, the results would decline.
Yes SVM’s don’t store weights like parametric models but they also don’t store weights “per data point”. Only the points closest to the decision boundary are stored (i.e., the “support vectors”).

To each their own, but I just dropped my daughter off at university, and nearly every kid is white. I felt it may be of some interest here on HN to let people know there is a step 0 that most humans will never be able to access.

I don’t mean to imply that successful people didn’t work hard. I have worked hard. But had I grown up as some of my primary school colleagues did - on the literal wrong side of the tracks - I likely would not have had nearly the same success in life and would not have a portfolio to worry about in the first place. At best, I’d be hopeful for a union job with a pension.

tl;dr - Mandy Moore (a very big name celeb) talks about receiving residual checks of 81 cents for her show that streams on Hulu. I'm not interested whether or not she's rich and doesn't need the money, but if she's being paid fairly with regards to value she's providing.

Personally, if my contributions were bringing my company an incredible amount of revenue, I would be annoyed if I wasn't being paid accordingly.
I have a similar vision. I want to hire one person and pay them well. Culture will definitely be very easy to maintain. I only want to net like $20k/month.

Keep in mind that "amount of methane in the atmosphere" is already something that depends on a slowly moving average of our emissions rate (first derivative of emissions). So its rate of change is a second derivative, and is supposed to look noisy unless we are doing something very wrong.

My interpretation from that graph is that we were doing something very wrong until some point around the 70's. Then we just improved a bit.

Also, that breakdown by source isn't reliable at all. We only started to really measure it by the 2020's.

If you are big TV brand player, the way it works is you go to a contract manufacturer and say you want to do a TV. They will tell you what options you have – what sizes, features, quality levels etc (configuration) and at what price they will sell to _you_ at different order volumes and the timelines for them to deliver to you. The offer you get will not be same as the offer they make to a bigger player who is a more favored partner to them. They will tell you if you become big, you will get better deals. You come back home. Then, you do your market research and decide where in the market's price/feature/quality curve is an opportunity for you today and what is your 10 year strategy to become big. Then, you also find out someone is doing a higher quality product but somehow pricing it lower - they are cross-subsidizing it. In the recent decade that has been through data/ads deals. Then, you study what happened to those players who didn't do data/ads deals and launched the product at actual the price with some decent margin built-in. They didn't do so well. Consumers cared more about feature spec and price deals than about data/ads fine-print. A lot of the features are to do with software OS. Then you discover that the software OS vendor has lock-in contracts with the contract manufacturer. You want to use that manufacturer who has great quality TV hardware components, you don't really have a choice but to use that software vendor's OS that comes baked into the TV by the manufacturer and let them take your customer's data forever. That's the current world we are in.
when I first could afford to but before I had responsibilities, I bought a breguet classique off secondary market, which is already understated, and I wear it with an even more understated leather band. I consciously chose to wear it as a daily cary, which means that on more than one occasion I wore it through ghettos on the way to raves, including through one attempted and failed robbery. By now it's well worn in, and I prefer it to be a subtle signal: those who don't care don't notice, so it's not ostentatious, those who pay attention but don't know will figure it out through closer observation, and those who know, don't need to ask any questions. I do occasionally consciously take them off so as not to be flashing, when that would be particularly crass or foolhardy.

I've lost many watches in my life, but this one has trained me in the discipline of care and attentiveness towards my possessions, which extends to all things and not just the watch.

There was no particularly good reason for me to buy it though, except for the watch maker name's frequent mention in the 19th century literature, including a famous line from Pushkin's Onegin, "he strolls down boulevards, until a sleepless Breguet, calls out time for supper". now it's likely that Onegin specifically didn't wear an actual breguet, because that was a generic name for a chiming timepiece, but the imagery stuck. I grew up on 19th century literature, byronic heroes, this line is explicit reference to flaneur culture, a self-conscious decadent movement, associated with aimless strolling down boulevards dressed in provocative clothing, breguet fits here, and that's the joke of the line: at a time when a timepiece would be associated with a serious vocation, politics or military, it is being used for the most frivolous task of letting one man know when it's time to eat. I reflect on this point occasionally, when I look at my watch.

Biggest difference is that you get to 100% chose exactly what you want to work on, and all the profits generated by the work goes to you. You're not beholden to anyone but yourself.

> Is chasing down new clients all the time and working on multiple projects really that desirable to people?

Chasing down new clients is probably a thing mostly affecting new freelancers without much experience. When I've done freelancing in the past, I've never had to look for any clients besides posting "I'm available to help out people on a freelance-basis" on various social media, and then I get more work available to me than I could realistically do.

I think most established freelancers "suffer" from the same. Once you're available for work, it fills up quickly.

You clearly misread my question. I'll rephrase for legibility then: What is the word for cash (as in "physical money not in a bank") if you use "cash" to mean the opposite ("money in a bank")? Is it now a concept so rarely used that term is unnecessary?

Also wow, didn't know you can't buy a car or a house with cash in US anymore, interesting times. Which year did it become illegal?
I agree with you broadly, but it is perhaps possible that increasing paranoia was causally related to reduced numbers of dead or missing children. I could not quickly find statistics about this, but it would be interesting to see a study.
