I recently switched my default search engine to give Kagi a try. It was a lot less straightforward than I expected.

You can't add a new search engine anywhere in firefox settings; you have to go to the search website, then right click the URL, and the menu includes an option to add the search. Then you can go back to settings and set it as default.
I would like to add that was incredible that MSI were the installation standard and Visual Studio, which is the core of MS development, couldn't generate them! Yes, you can generate vanilla MSIs but are almost never what you want except for trivial installations.

Sorry, but I want to add one more thing: the upgrade logic of MSIs is completely wrong, you need a lot of tricks to do an upgrade.
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Users Complain That Device Can Get Too Hot
Indeed, a reduced prompt size is unlikely to compensate for 8x inference cost increase.

Also fine tuning OpenAI's black box with data generated using gpt4 does not really require a lot more skills than prompt engineering.
That would be something completely reasonable to hear in China. Your point? In countries far far away, people tend to abstract entities involved (the Americans did X, not Tesla did X).
It’s definitely doable in one off quantities. And in fact people do it. Probably the most annoying thing would be dealing with length matching but honestly modern interfaces are much more tolerant than the specs imply. Power delivery could also be a sore point. So again, if you just looking to get a prototype working, it’s workable. But in volume. I wouldn’t go this route. This presentation lists some important things that are lacking in KiCAD when you really need to know the answer. https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/advanced_sim/...
No because with options you may have to wait for your liquidity event forever.
Is the complaint that many people can’t afford a $1 million house?
I was actually thinking about it the other way around.

Why do residuals exist? I am paid to do X. I did X. My code is no more special than the shingles put on my roof. I hope the roofers don’t return for residuals again.

What I prefer is the “get the same relative raises as the CEO” that the auto union is going for.

But I’m also not a gambler. I want to know exactly what my compensation is for the hours of my life I’m giving away.

500k gets you a very nice house in Chicago. If you were to rent instead, 5k/month would get you a luxury 2 bed room apartment close to the Magnificent mile.
That laptop is a loaner from your IT dept. You didn’t train me. You hired me for my knowledge; remember those four days of whiteboard gymnastics? And you want to make money too, so you need to bring the lawyers and sales staff.

Whether or not they should be in business, they are in business and they are dealing with a minor mess.

Only a minor mess because:

1. There is money.

2. They aren’t being sued yet.

Getting lawyers involved before getting sued is the way to go, and it’s even better when there’s money to pay them.
Me, too.

All of my custom keyboard dreams start from the Apple Magic Keyboard as the basis. I want all 78 keys. I just want them split, and Columnar, and… something like ZSA's new Voyager but preserving the things that make the Magic Keyboard great is what I have in mind.
Imagine if a Chinese company releases a model that kicks the state of the art's ass and everyone starts using it because it works so well. Now the censorship has leaked into all the systems that use it.

Maybe where you live, but my commie block has basic amenities (shop, butcher, small farmers market, few bars and restaurants, park, doctor... etc) in a 10 minute walk. 10 minutes away are buses and trams that take me to whatever else I need.
I don't know why they would want to prevent it. It's free publicity for them with no consequences. They just have to make sure to delete it eventually.

I get that but it's been off many organizations' radar completely until 3.5 became available.
What’s the whataboutism re: Kent State? My point is the average Chinese citizen cares about Tiananmen about as much as the average American cares about Kent State, which is to say not at all.

I guess we can continue to be fascinated by it and Chinese citizens can continue to look at us weird when we speak about it like it’s the secret to immortality or something.
By McNamara's fact-based metrics, we were winning the Vietnam War. These aggregate measurements might be good at the high level, but say nothing about an individual's perception of reality. People know their personal economic situation is bad right now, they don't really care about the macroeconomics, that's not what "The Economy" is to the average American.
Most developers are a 2023 equivalent of 1973 assembly line workers. Very few do creative work.

It's really hard to swallow being told that everything is great, when your lived experience is that it is obviously not great; seriously declining really.

Ambient here is referring to the temperature of the water. The hotter the air is, the higher the partial pressure of water can be, meaning you need to take even more heat out to get it to condense.
Why in the world would you buy a $1M house in Chicago? $500k would get you a decent house in a decent neighborhood that would be more than big enough for even a four-person family.

A $1mm house is an absolute luxury house almost everywhere in the US.
The Countries Committing to Nuclear Power
I would get all that, for a hardcore sim. Back in the day there was an F-16 Falcon simulator where people regularly used real (old) manuals to learn how to just start the aircraft.

But I have doubts War Thunder is modeled accurately enough for a real service manual to actually make any difference for any of the players. War Thunder, from appearances, looks very arcadey and designed to be fun for most players. Sims usually involve 20 minute startup sequences, weight balance shifting, etc... I just don't understand this with War Thunder.
Public companies usually give RSUs, which are fine and have much better tax treatment.
Software engineers tend to live in higher cost areas where $1M would be below average.

If you live in a median cost of living area $1M would get you a decent, but not amazing, house in a good school district, which is another thing a software engineer parent would probably care about.
> doesn't allow to change backend

they’ve supported subversion since 2010! https://github.blog/2010-04-01-announcing-svn-support/

The problem with abstraction layers is you are stuck with the worst common denominator of all supported backends. Presumably if you wanted to use a better version control system it would be for its advanced features git lacks. But a system that supported both would have a hard time taking advantage of any feature that was unique to one system.
Firefox had an Electron-like solution from 2006 to 2015 called XULRunner. Firefox and Thunderbird were built on top of the very same tech (XUL UI, XPCOM component object model, Sqlite databases, XPI extensions...)

Then Electron came along around 2013. You get a backend using NodeJS (same V8!) and you don't need to learn XUL, XPCOM etc.
How is this any different from how SD was fine tuned on LAION Aesthetic after being pretrained on plain old LAION?
It is not a stupid distraction per se.

Any model produced by any North American or European companies, even X, may be trained in a way that would be politically correct to the taste of the company, some are left leaning and some are right leaning, but the topics being censored by the model will still be far lesser than the model being created by a Chinese/Russian companies. This is because for the companies to survive in a totalitarian government, the company must bent and satisfy all the filtering request by the government.
All of that was happening before Biden took office. Inflation for the last 10 years has been nuts, but we were slowly boiling frogs until the more recent supply crunch.

I've always been annoyed that companies will pay 6 figures for a support contract, but won't consider hiring a full time engineer for the same or less pay to support an open source product that does the same thing.

The support contracts are often disappointing too, like you are paying $200,000+ a year for the stupid thing and they won't even fix your problems? "That product is not our current area of focus". So frustrating.

The multiplication of effort you would see if 5 or 6 companies did this is incredible. For example the Linux kernel is an example of this working. Everybody cooperates, everyone wins.
Yes, errors (and perhaps debug messages, diagnostics, etc.) should go to stderr.

The output of --help is not an error message, it's the legitimate and expected output of the program when invoked with that argument.
The screenshot where you were asking the stock price and recent earnings, didn't actually give you the stock price.
Inflation is 25-30% over the past few years, that applies to base pay and stock grants, so those 169k are worth as much as 125k - typical salary 10 years ago. And with the 7.5% interest rate, those 125k buy as much house as 65k in 2013. I don't envy them. Those with median income live in median cities, with median rent and median mortgage.
By the time you've seen that led, it likely far too late. :(
This is an extremely bad article, written with fancy words, filled with bad advice, delivered with a holier-than-though tone. Are people just upvoting this submission based on the headline?

Have fun fine tuning a new model every 6 months as ClosedAI deprecates models. Have fun paying 8x the cost for inference.
I think what they mean is "let's do this like a blameless postmortem" not "let's pretend that no one has ever done anything wrong."

If we can't be like, "hey the current state of affairs can be traced back to X, Y, Z" without the implication that whoever did X, Y, Z is literally Satan then it's no wonder we never get anywhere.
It's absolutely the case that LLMs give output that's inconsistent in quality, and the determining factor is your prompt. This is true for base models, fine tuned models, and everything else.

Obviously other things matter too, but the lowest hanging fruit is usually "prompt better."
I don’t want it. I’m fine with how my compensation currently works.
The word "cancer" is not in the article.
Operated by humans that way. We come conveniently preconfigured with object detection and categorization, and an understanding of object movement. We have to teach all that to the Tesla autopilot and so far it’s not doing so hot.

The benefits of LIDAR and RADAR is you’re dealing with less data and it comes with depth so you don’t even have to figure out binocular vision.
I really enjoyed this talk on the history of big-retail lobbying.

It has a lot to say about the notion that corporations are beholden to shareholders to maximize profits. Who they're really beholden to are 80s-era corporate raiders who changed corporate culture by enforcing the Shareholder Capitalism model at financial gunpoint.
this is interesting, thank you
Exactly.

This was not our situation even 3 years ago. 3 years ago we felt financially very secure, like the future was rosy, we could save money, and look forward to children. Even now, like you, we don't have trouble getting by, but, we aren't maxing anything out. We watch what we're spending and we feel like we're just about sliding by with how crazy childcare is.

Things aren't going well at all.
WebGPU will be multiple years out for Safari, they've had and removed implementations prior.

Firefox has a working implementation, but it lags behind the Chromium one.

Browser based still works great! Check out the whisper turbo demo: https://whisper-turbo.com/
I dunno. Its seems more like a systemic problem brought on by too many people in that system who have something to loose, you could vote in a bunch of people that have a desire to change this, but Im betting, and i have seen it before, that the people that operate behind the scenes in that system actively operate to undermine those efforts.

I don't see a way to affect change on a political level without replacing all the players at once with people who actually care (not say they care and then use their positions for self-interest motives).
I mean they're researchers, not builders. If this all checks out, they've done their part and this should inspire builders to run with it and commercialize or open source a printable design.

Specialization is great, glad someone is focused on continually pushing the research and improving the designs, and this one supposedly improves on last year's design. There are others who are better at scaling & commercializing, and those types are probably a lot worse at basic research.

Every inventor and researcher doesn't need to start a startup.

Hmmm I'm checking it out right now. Seems like life expectancy jumped massively under Mao, is that bad?
And the definition of middle class is looking more like "owning a condo" than owning a single-family home in a high cost of living area, the type of area where it's easier to get a $200k income.
Mutton is either adult sheep, or, in Indian cuisine, it sometimes means goat meat.

I have cooked and eaten lamb, mutton and goat South Indian-style. They are all good.

I don't know why more Americans don't eat lamb, mutton and goat, but they are definitely tastier than beef.
It’s amazing how much happens because a nerd (positive term) gets angry because of something not technically correct or difficult
In relative values I've spent much more.

I rented an apartment in São Paulo 3 months before the pandemic. During the pandemic I kept paying my rent, even though I went back to my parents house (we thought it would be over soon). 6 months later the bank I was working for put us all in home office forever; so i had to terminate my contract with the company that rented me the apartment. The "fine" for terminating it before the 1.5 years in contract was R$ 7.000,00.

Based on what I make and what Meta makes annually, I've spent way more, haha.
It has happened for DCS in the past.

The real reason this is always happening for Warthunder is because it's being sensationalized by the media and what's happening is being massively misrepresented.

Every time one of these articles comes out for like the last 6 months at least the "leaked classified documents" have already been available online for _years_. But someone posts these easily findable documents on the Warthunder forums and suddenly the leak originates from the Warthunder forums because it makes a good article title.

One of the more recent "leaks" was just someone posting this easily purchasable flight manual: https://www.flight-manuals-online.com/product/eurofighter-ty...

Two writers make an episode of TV. One sucks and is aired once, the other is amazing and gets replayed constantly for years.

> I understand the privacy argument, but that is not going to be enough.

Why not? Privacy is important to people.

For a long time, the majority of people didn't really seem to care about their online privacy. However, the EU still created the GDPR.

Perhaps a "real world privacy" equivalent of GDPR should happen at some point?
One might well ask why "Hackneyed" has it's meaning of commonplace.. And if you do, you will see that Hackneyed comes from a "Hack" horse, the commonplace (often hired) horse you use for more ordinary riding tasks, you don't care if its a bit spavined or mouthed, it's not your best hunter.

In other words Hack -> Hackney -> Hack

A Hacking jacket likewise: its workday hard wearing cloth like Tweed. undied or dull dye.

Call me crazy but my idea of a comprehensive desktop experience doesn’t involve recompiling tools like my terminal emulator or WM to change configuration.

‘No-bloat’ is kind of antithetical to GNU, where the various applications give you everything and the kitchen sink with as many compilation flags as you like to rip out features if you really don’t want them. But one person’s bloat is another person’s fully featured system; I don’t think projects should be opinionated about ‘bloat’ if they don’t want to alienate some section of potential users.

Genuine question, it will not be possible for every single engineers get paid 90th percentile, someone has to get less than that for the statistic to work?
Interestingly, hacking seconds have become so ubiquitous, that some watches will advertise the "lack" of hacking seconds.

I.e. in the Rolex GMT, when you adjust the hour hand independently of the seconds hand, the seconds hand continues moving (non-hacking), which allows you to change the time zone when traveling without messing up the seconds hand that you previously already setup.
I think the author of this post probably meant to caveat that what we call "prompt engineering" TODAY might tend towards snake oil, but prompt engineering _doesn't have to_ be snake oil, and it _doesn't have to_ promote black box mentalities[1]. What's more is that fine-tuning is certainly not a panacea - it's not particularly great an injecting net-new context into these foundation models. It's great when you want to "close the aperture" a bit in model outputs. Even suggesting that fine-tuning is somehow a replacement for crafting prompts is just incorrect.

I couldn't find historic chart for Seattle but most cities are having a similar spike in crime so I'm using NYC. The rise in crime from pandemic is from historically low numbers. The jump is big but the absolute numbers are still low.

NYC had the same murder count in 2019 as 1948. 2022 was same as 2012. The peak in 1990 was 5 times as much as last year.
moreover, is there any case law that suggests such things are an enforceable part of an employment contract?
Residuals for a company which is bankrupt would be zero - same as their stock price.

Also, they could just rewrite the sections of code that are expensive and nuke their costs and your residuals at any point. Unlike a brand or whatever, it’s trivial to redo as it’s not user facing.
Those all sound like great things to ask of an assistant tool - that ChatGPT isn't actually capable of answering. (I have lots of those too - things like "review this code" or even better and more specific, "given the description in this CVE, do we have any code that does this sort of thing too, that we should examine"? Fortunately for the perceived level of honesty in the field, noone appears to be claiming an LLM can do either of them.)
No, Asian countries have less of a safety net than the US even. They do have cheaper healthcare and housing. (But after you've bought the housing then you want it to become less cheap, of course.)
> what if developers were paid the same way as writers and other creatives

The 10% of Facebook/Google/Bytedance engineers who work on ads would be stupidly rich. The remaining 90% of engineers who work on cost centers would get paid minimum wage. If you want these residuals to be remotely equal, the metrics that determine them would be so convoluted that you might as well just pay people in stock options or RSUs.
Exactly. This is not controversial or very hard to understand. By the time you pay the taxes on your income, health insurance, maybe fund your 401k, pay an average mortgage, pay for insurance, power, other utilities, etc. I won't even touch the subject of cars, vacations, or other frivilous expenses. If you have relatively average expenses there really is not a lot of meat left on the bone. I am sympathetic to these most likely younger or early career people that think it is a "lot of money" but when you move out of your apartment and have a family to support 200k is a decent middle class living. Which is a little bit depressing after you have been on the grind for 15-20 years in a demanding career.
My point is that that would be completely reasonable to hear in China, but would sound strange to an American. Likewise, contrariwise.

Small businesses are hard. I can’t tell you how many restaurants moved in (and then went out of business within a year) to the plaza next to the university during my degree. The landlords who own that plaza have remained the same for decades. They don’t care if any of the businesses survive. They have tenants lined up around the block, just waiting to pay big rents.
print --help to stdout, but if the usage is part of an error (ex: because of bad arguments), then print it to stderr.

Many tools, for consistency or for laziness always print usage to stderr. But it is better than always printing it to stdout. Errors should never go to stdout, and paging stderr can easily be done with 2>&1.

Edit: and maybe, if your --help output is several pages long, consider leaving out the details to a manpage.

This is a better way to phrase it. $200k in the Midwest means a pretty good house in the best area public school district, two cars, some decent but not extravagant vacations, and you might be able to retire comfortably by your mid-sixties assuming nobody gets too sick in the meantime.

It doesn’t mean living in the nicest parts of the city, which have bad schools because everyone in the nice houses there sends their kids to a good private school, and the public schools are attended only by kids from the slums. It doesn’t mean a lake house (maybe a small lake fishing cabin, on a kinda-bad lake, but not a lake house. Maybe a tacky pontoon boat and a slip rental). It doesn’t mean annual long ski vacations and summering. It’s not upper middle class, in other words.
It's caused by there being a pandemic and a war.
