> It's meaningless in that it doesn't describe a societal division that actually matters. A retail worker making 40k a year is not going to identify with a highly paid software engineer. Their life stresses are worlds apart as is their level of financial security.

They won't but the software engineer should identify with the plights of the worker making 40k. That's the issue, quite a lot of SWEs and other high income professions see themselves as separate from the working class.

> You're the one trying to divide and conquer by pushing an abstract, out of touch political ideology that has resulted in the deaths of millions

I'm not pushing socialism, talking about class warfare does not mean I'm a communist, stop that line of thinking as you are assuming something I have not said. At no point in my comments I've mentioned communism or socialism, I use their terms since it's a good analysis of the powers of capital, that's all. This knee-jerk reaction to some terms is absolutely ridiculous and taints your comment, from that you derived I'm somehow a communist and your only retort is talking about "the deaths of millions" caused by it. Capitalism has also contributed to the death and injury of hundreds of millions. That's not the fucking point...

> Right back at you comrade!

"No, you" stops being a retort you can use by 4th grade, again I insist: be a better contributor to discussions, so far you haven't done much.
>they would describe it as soccer but you get to carry the ball.

that's an interesting bet/theory. i would never have expected that as a description. like, even after hearing the description, i can't imagine how it could have come to be.

Spent the morning wrestling with this bug. It affects iOS17 and 17.0.1 on my iPhone 12 (not sure about other models). It appears to be fixed on iOS17.0.1 on my iPad. I've seen reports that it occurs on iOS16.7 as well.

The database-backed configuration mechanism makes a ton of sense, and if you squint, the filesystem is really kind of a database anyway. With the registry, there’s a lot you get for free—you can set defaults system-wide, you don’t have to deal with parsing, you can get new values without re-parsing a file, etc.

A lot of the horror stories came from earlier versions of Windows which had problems with reliability.

If you spend time as a Windows sysadmin you can start to appreciate it, because it does make certain administration tasks easier. Like “I need to change 10 registry different keys on 50 different machines” is easier on Windows. On Linux, I’d do the same with, like, Ansible scripts which can be a lot more error-prone to write.
I, too, resemble that remark.

> The wealth of the people has nothing to do with this.

Yes it does. Being laid off and rehired before your VERY generous severance runs out is nothing like the disrespect someone in sex work often has to endure. The comparison is totally disconnected from reality. Being wealthy and of high social standing in the US immunizes you from the kind of deprivations faced by people in the informal economy.

Obviously both deserve respect, it just in my opinion minimizes the plight of people being trafficked to compare that to a big tech layoff. It just sounds clueless.
> Question: why isn’t Anthropic using Google Cloud, given who their past investors include?

A distant family member, 80 years old, long-widowed and without children, almost became homeless in Florida due to rapidly rising rents in the town she has lived in since the ‘80s. She never bought a house or condo, and the company where she worked part time as an admin assistant folded last year.

The landlord gave her six months’ notice, which I thought was generous, but she ultimately did not secure alternate housing there within per price range of $1,300/mo. She has moved to senior housing near her older brother in the midwest, but where she otherwise has no connections. It’s a sad final chapter.
I am not claiming what you say I am.

You said:

"It [pedophilia] has become the visceral hook that seems to emotionally motivate a lot of the far-right, not unlike abortion."

I am claiming that pedophilia motivates many people, not just the far right. It is beyond me how you could misread that claim into something that would lead you to reply as you did.

[Edit: My use of "ought to" may be the problem. The left, based on their positions, should be emotionally, viscerally motivated to oppose pedophilia. If they aren't, then that is an inconsistency in their position. But I think that they (or at least many of them) are motivated. So, to sum up, I'm not sure why you singled out the far-right in your initial statement.]
Does this imply that Science, similar to drugs (religion, etc), can also distort human perception of reality?

What's next, internet discussion forums? Is anywhere safe??? :)
That's interesting given that land is very scarce in Japan. Suddenly, they decided to all squeeze together, make it clean and also be patient with one another. Something tells me this is about societal culture more than anything else.
This is so difficult to enforce. You're going to have people go door-to-door checking if houses are vacant? What if someone goes on vacation? States require legibility. The simplest way to enforce high land and property utilization is to tax all property.

In California, for example, you have reports of people who move and use their old home in the Bay Area for storage because they're paying the same nominal property tax rate from 40 years ago. If they were paying a yearly 1% tax on the value of their property (instead of <0.05%), they'd rent or sell it immediately.

Same deal in China, except more extreme. Property _is not taxed_, so there are/were a lot of people building apartments and leaving them vacant, waiting for prices to rise over time.

Neither of these situations serve the material needs of people today who need cheap, high-quality, and abundant shelter.

Plus, your vacant property tax proposal excludes the (500k+?) many empty bedrooms in occupied homes. If someone's kids have grown and moved out, their old rooms are now vacant. How many people simply leave these rooms vacant for years and decades? A blanket property tax increase would strongly incentivize the renting of these rooms.
It's also feasible to track changes this way. Download the PDF and compare the md5/crc/sha hash to an older pdf file - if they're the same, then there haven't been any changes.

With web pages, you have to download all the linked files and turn them into a deterministic archive and hope that the Javascript included doesn't pull any dynamic content (which isn't really practical to begin with).

From two different articles. It is less than you think.

>Large institutions owned roughly 5% of the 14 million single-family rentals nationally in early 2022

>Institutional investors, referring to entities that purchase 100 or more properties, accounted for under 3 percent of home sales in 2021 and 2022, according to Freddie Mac. So-called “mom-and-pop” investors, who own fewer properties, are growing at faster rates, and according to the National Rental Home Council, only 1.16 percent of single-family rental homes were owned by rental companies. Americans for Financial Reform estimated that as of June 2022, private equity firms owned about 3.6 percent of apartments and 1.6 percent of rental homes.
> and that makes the engineer's choice to follow faang look a lot more reasonable.

Your argument is that going with FAANG level designs saves time?

And the crux of your argument is that you're able to find a guide online?

I strongly suspect you don't have a healthy respect for complexity.

This. It’s exactly the same for me (also iOS dev, and I do Swift on the server too).
I found MDMA similarly eye-opening, dealing with depression and anxiety. It was the first time I truly felt free of anxiety, like it just vanished and I could feel somewhat normal. This was many many years ago, and since then I use these experiences as a sort of guiding star. It's good to take some every now and then to realign and recalibrate with this feeling.
Thanks, I try to avoid changing the headline, sounds like I do it a bit too much.
And note that it's a good thing that crates are async, because async-in-sync using block_on has only some potential small CPU time overhead, while sync-in-async requires having a thread for each concurrent usage and has potentially catastrophic memory overhead since a user and kernel mode stacks and thread data structures could in some cases be 100-1000x bigger than the future; hence, an async-only create is much better than a sync-only crate (although of course a crate that supports both is ideal from the user's point of view).

It is definitely not the case that all OpenAI employees are transhumanist.

It is probably the case that they all believe AGI is possible, because otherwise they would not work at a company whose stated goal is to build an AGI.
Homelessness and the population of billionaires... probably unrelated phenomena =)
Influence is not control.

I will rephrase my comment.

A simpler explanation for Microsoft’s actions is that the Microsoft board of directors and CEO wanted those actions to occur, for their own benefit.

The whole hedge fund manager and Wall St boogeyman is nonsense. Who even is “Wall St”? Lots of people own shares of Microsoft. There are probably a bunch of people who influence Microsoft’s leaders more than some paper pushers in NYC.
The jank was sometimes part of the fun
By my reading, a lot of it just boils down to the "all models are wrong, but some are useful" aphorism, but denigrating models' usefulness in a philosophical context, calling the implications of relativity and whatnot "a waste of time".

I think this is overly reductive. Indeed, many consequences that follow from the nonexistence or impossibility of a certain thing, event, or effect are brittle to the physical model being refined to include additional effects. But plenty of important consequences follow from existence or possibility and can be directly supported through experimental evidence.

For instance, Newtonian physics predict absolute simultaneity: if one observer measures that two events occurred at the same time, then all other observers will measure likewise, regardless of their relative position or velocity. But special relativity violates this, instead predicting relativity of simultaneity. As long as special relativity's predictions hold to any extent (which, experimentally, they do), then simultaneity is definitely relative and not absolute. There's no way to recover absolute simultaneity short of postulating a grand cosmic conspiracy. And learning that the arrow of time isn't absolute definitely isn't a waste of time!

Also, I think it's unwarranted to say that just because some consequences of nonexistence have historically been invalidated in the past, all the consequences of nonexistence in our current theories are inevitably going to fall over with further evidence. Why should we expect a priori that we haven't yet discovered a single true invariant of our universe? After all, some observed invariants, such as the conservation of energy, have withstood the numerous revisions to our physical models, and it seems odd to blithely assert that they'll be invalidated any year now. In the limit, to say that exceptions will be discovered to every principle ever is to say that the universe doesn't run on any kind of laws.

And if we do concede that at least some of our current models' invariants truly do hold in reality, then it's no longer a waste of time to study their implications, since some subset of our findings will remain just as accurate now matter how far our models are revised.
I doubt that sort of data exists anywhere, but I personally run a veterans service organization with ~800 families and I've yet to meet a vetspouse who wasn't squared away!

The veteran community is a cross-section of America so there's bound to be turds, but I'd say that if you're a CHRO you're probably doing whatever you can to improve talent across the org, even if incrementally. One way to do that is to be vet/vetspouse friendly.

“create_or_update pattern considered harmful,” so they say.

Actually I kind of do believe this, but separating the two doesn’t always solve the whole problem if you’re creating on every startup rather than only once on, say, profile creation or new game or something.
Gotcha, thanks. I guess it could be useful as shorthand for specifying 'joint latent space of multiple modalities', since 'two tower' is shorter and more established (though I guess it had to get established at some point, lol).

Much appreciated on the clarification, something I did not know/had not heard about! Recommendation systems seem to be pretty disjoint from a lot of ML talk/news/etc generally, at least in the sphere of the world that I'm in! <3 :'))))

No. This is stealing. I cannot imagine a modern legal system that would not recognize it as such. "How did you acquire this wallet?" "Oh, I found it in the street!" "Oh, no problem, then. It's yours."

Home prices were a fraction (like, 1/10th in some cases) of what they are now in the 80s. I’d gladly take a 10% mortgage at 1/10th the price I could refinance at half that rate in the 90s.
I still hold out hope that Silicon Valley will take over the education system before then. I've recently started Math Academy and I'm quite impressed with it. Duolingo still needs work but it's improving. I think (hope?) tools like this will eventually take over - they're certainly better than the dire excuse for an education I received.
And then the moment you got this email you'd post to HN and everyone else would be "OMG, why don't I have that option"

Do you work to survive? Do you get paid a salary in exchange for an hour/week/year's work? Then you're working class, literally.

I disagreed with him back then as well. In the public comment on the Netscape settlement, I was one of the responses against it that the DoJ added to the trial.

Here was the position that I had then. Microsoft's documented behavior on previous antitrust cases meant that this settlement would not deter future abuse. And I laid out specifically why that decree would not work.

I stand by that opinion now.
Rand is moving forward you can see it in his inner monologue as it shifts from the first two books

In TEotW: Rand goes from claiming to be a farmer to doubting his place in the world, he struggles and overcomes obstacles. He goes from “Tam is my father!” to “Tam is my father?”

In TGH: Rand knows what he is but is unwilling to accept it. Over the course of the book he adapts to being treated more like nobility and a leader and becoming accustomed to it this is particularly clear in his interactions with Huiron. He even forgets and tries to command the Shienarins when their commander, Ingtar is right there.

I thought the parallel between Rands journey and the heron marked blade was also well done! Rand desperately tries to hold on to the heron blade as it’s his tie to Tam. As Rand goes through his journey he learns to use the blade and as he accepts who he is at the end of TGH, the blade, his last vestige of Tam as his father, is metaphorically and literally broken.

I mean that's still true at the pro sports level.

Athletes leave teams all the time over disagreements over compensation. At least in the NHL it's not uncommon for a player to take the team to arbitration over their salary [1].

I bet there is a product that could be used, however I'm sure the installers think it's "just one more thing to carry around" when the faucet hole cut only takes a few minutes.
Don't worry about it. You were exposed to a very small amount a single time. It's the repeated exposure day after day that kills people. Saying that, yeah it's not nice. But the single exposure to dust isn't going to hurt you.

Stock KSP1 is superior in almost every way. Less buggy, more game features, and a mature mod community. KSP2 has all of that planned but it’s still struggling with very basic gameplay. Problems that were solved a decade ago with KSP1.

Most of the interesting mods have already been integrated into the core KSP1 game. About the only ones worth mentioning are ScanSat (adds planetary observation sensors) and EngineerEverywhere (or something. It adds the thrust-weight-ratio display info without a part). The graphics are enhancements are just pretty pictures, that do nothing.
Works smoothly with MacOS and TouchID.
> "It takes 5 dollars to save a starving African child, a night out with friends is the equivalent to abandoning a bus of drowning children to their deaths".

These philosophical thought experiments are too simplistic to offer any guidance. Five dollars does not save any starving child; he will need food for the rest of his childhood. And they also neglect the social aspect of the problem. What if the whole neighborhood or country is poor? It is more sensible to attack this problem using the tools of developmental economics; how can we alleviate the problem for everyone over time?

During the peak of covid, the NY Times made a video showing hospital workers loading dead bodies into the refrigerated trucks that served as expanded morgues for Brooklyn Hospital Center (by Fort Greene). Online skeptics pointed out that it must be crisis actors, for one of the workers was wearing his mask below his nose. Only thing I could think of was "have you never been to a jobsite?" I got called a pussy for wanting eye protection from the guy welding 15 feet from me.
I want to trade all the fancy shit I don't need for a ten hour work week and more time to do what I want, but annoyingly we've made artificial scarcities of essentials like housing, and codified forty hour weeks as the norm, making this hard.

self medicating psilocybin saved my wife several times, it has a 4-5 month effect but it is preferable over SSRIs for her.

I disagree. Almost no job postings in NY had a salary in 2020. That number is now close to 100%. Companies will not disclose salaries unless you whack them with a stick

> GPT3.5 had most of the capabilities of the initial ChatGPT release, just with a different interface

I believe two other factors were the cost (especially of fine tuned models, IIRC fine tuned davinci cost $0.20 per thousand tokens) and also that OpenAI hadn't very clearly shown just how much higher the quality could get once RLHF'd. I remember asking davinci-instruct to parse some data, and the reliability really seemed much lower than ChatGPT at launch, to the point that, at the time, I thought GPT-4 was secretly powering ChatGPT.
Just being able to make client code for an HTTP API that can be installed into Javascript, Android, and iOS projects with identical logic is a pretty big win.
