My prediction: Either these models will have to expose some editable intermediate step, or they have to become as smart as a human.

From the users point of view, a sentence is turned into an image. But there is an underlying structure to the pixels that we aren't allowed to tinker with.

Many choices are made like, placement, color pallete, level of detail, emotion evoked, or sub image descriptions (What should this bush look like, what kind of cloud should this be?)

These image generators are so useful because they fill in all the details you leave out, but you have no ability to tinker with the intermediate details they choose, and you can't just give them a paragraph of details either.

Maybe a typo, and it's supposed to be "hnwhoishiring"?
Did you overall have a better experience than buying mid range and periodically upgrading components? I'm skeptical. I've probably spent around that much (very rough estimate) on 3-4 builds over the same period, and for most of it I had a i7-6700k (4C/8T). If I hadn't just upgraded from a i7-12700F and RTX 3080 to i9-13900k and RTX 3090 within a year I'm pretty sure I'd be well under $5000.

Perhaps I'll put together a spreadsheet with the total inflation adjusted spend for comparison...

He was self employed for a while, and worked for small companies that didn't even offer a 401k before that. So yes he started late which was/is unfortunate for him. That he didn't really have good chances to get on track is understandable, but he is still way behind. He again is working for a small company without 401k options, so I suppose he will retire at 68 with $50k in the 401k and then be surprised there isn't enough money there to last a few months. At least he should get SS like many.
I'm aware the Haskell designers like category theory, and so yes, the question boils down to the degree of influence of category theory on particular language features.

Still, to your last point, the existence of an equivalence doesn't automatically count as an application of all sides of the equivalence. Coming up with a post-hoc math explanation for some practical idea doesn't make the practical idea an application of the math. The practitioners have to adopt that framing or rely on theorems proved via the math that they didn't otherwise rely on. It would be like saying that all mathematical theorems are an "application" of the typed lambda calculus because of the Curry–Howard correspondence. It's a disingenuous and fruitless way to think about what it means to apply an idea to solve a problem.

Automated theorem verification may use category theory (does it?), and I'd love to talk to the main contributors to Lean, which appears to be the system that's gaining the most traction among average mathematicians, to discuss that.
Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other techo-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!
This makes me think of something Nancy Sinatra said about life after her father died. There was no escaping it. She'd be shopping and one of his songs would start playing.

AI aping your dead father has to be super creepy.

Thought perhaps that needs to be outright illegal.
I'm talking about QA, not end-users.

"very very difficult" on what scale? How many "verys" before it gets really hard?

Again, the proof is in the pudding. You take a language that doesn't make any special efforts to protect against nulls (eg. Java), and you take Kotlin that does, and the difference in the number of problems associated with NPEs is barely noticeable.

Perhaps some automation offered by Kotlin for dealing with NPEs makes developers' experience more pleasant / easier, but the Java side just isn't hard enough to make this a substantial benefit.

And, just to not be misunderstood: I'm not saying that automation in how to deal with missing values is bad, not at all! It's good. But, strategically, there are much bigger problems / juicier targets than NPEs. If you compare this to health, then NPEs are a headache, while misunderstood requirements are a cancer. It's great if you can treat both, but if you have limited resources, then cancer gets a priority treatment.
We need, desperately and without question, two Unicode symbols for bold and italic.

These are part of language and should not be an optional proprietary add on that can be skipped or deleted from text. We've been using the two "formats" to convey important information since the sixteenth century!!!

It boggles my mind that we can give flesh tone to emojis, yet not mark a word as bold or italic. It makes zero sense. Especially how easy it would be to implement. It would work exactly the same way: Letters following the mark would be formatted as bold or italic until a space character or equivalent.
Hmm, I wonder if it's an unusual use of the word? reading online, many of the description say "an implicit agreement". I think the determinate would be: could you test the blood of an unconscious person?
That thereupon spawns 47 comments: 45 are from other users of emacs and provide 45 different ways of doing the same thing; 1 is from a vim user; and 1 is a comment about how meta the emacs community is.
Depends what you mean by "won?" It is ending, but I'm not exactly hearing gnashing of teeth from the studios, here.
I think it's clear in my comment that I do not agree. I start with that upfront. I upvoted only to counter what I think are unfair downvotes.
I think that’s an unrealistic expectation for a product that exists to connect hundreds of employees across global networks and present dynamic information.

Somewhere in that equation there’s going to be downtime, whether that service is cloud managed or self-hosted. It has minimal value offline because its entire purpose is to exchange information online.

It’d be like saying that World of Warcraft should have an offline mode.
Dollars are the scrip and the government is the company store, only accepting dollars (they control) for the protection racket.

As much as I am thankful for the site for a lot of things, it fostered my "there will always be new content on every refresh" problem, which has stolen so much productivity from me.

I don't mean this in the "haha isn't it cute I spend so much time on Reddit" way, I mean this in the "I have not chased as many goals or passions as I could've because I was numbing myself with easily-available, low-effort content" way.
In terminals there is a distinction between single-width and double-width characters (east-asian characters, in particular). E.g. the three characters

A美C

would take up the width of four ASCII monospace characters, the “美” being double-width.

Similarly, for composed characters like say the ligature “ﬀ”, you may want to backspace as if it was two “f”s (which logically it is, and decomposes to in NFKD normalization).

I see this as an unabridged positive. Your political movement (urbanism, in this case) doesn't matter if it doesn't get traction, and this is what traction looks like in the USA.

We serve enterprises from 100 person startups to Fortune 20 behemoths, and our team is comprised entirely of people who do truly exceptional things. You'll get to work at the cutting edge of making AI actually work in the real, messy but extremely impactful world of our customers: healthcare, sustainability, industrial robotics, finance and more.
The nordic layout(s) offer such a mechanism to allow people to type in letters that you'll find in various other European languages, even though the extra letters used in the languages themselves (ÅÄÖÆØ) are present as their own keys. Interestingly, the Swedish layout has no dedicated é key, although é occurs in some Swedish words.
> For example, é (a single grapheme) is encoded in Unicode as e (U+0065 Latin Small Letter E) + ´ (U+0301 Combining Acute Accent). Two code points!

It's a poor and misleading example for it is definitely not how 'é' is encoded in 99.999% of all the text written in, say, french out there (french is the language where 'é' is the most common).

'é' is U+00F9, one codepoint, definitely not two.

Now you could say: but it is also the two codepoints one. But that's precisely what makes Unicode the complete, total and utter clusterfuck that it is.

And hence even an article explaining what every programmer should know about Unicode cannot even get the most basic example right. Which is honestly quite ironic.
My guess is that they throttle a bit. ChromeOS machines tend to sleep and resume really well and sacrifice performance for battery.

In a world full of low end garbage windows machines, it actually makes them a pretty nice little niche. Lots of consumers would likely find them much better than a lot of the $1-200 more expensive Windows laptops.
It almost works on Linux with Wine. The text fields are messed up though.

However, I do not know why you would use this considering the alternatives available. It is closed source, no GraphQL support, and has cloud "features". The only pro for me is low RAM use.

Go out in your community, make a difference,

Working on it. After spending over a decade as a volunteer firefighter I took about the next 20 years off from volunteering in any public safety capacity. But I'm planning to go get my EMT-Basic certification and join a local volunteer rescue squad. It's going to be a long process, since I need to re-up my Hepatitis B vaccination (nobody can find the records from where I was vaccinated 25+ years ago)... and that takes about 6 months in and of itself. And I can't take the EMT course until that's done, so it'll be the summer session of next year before I can get that knocked out.

Still, I do think being involved in something like that again will be good for me. And maybe I can help somebody else in the process.

> As far as the written, formal language is concerned, English really has only three dialects

This is true, but I don't see why the "formal" qualifier is needed here :) There are much more than 3 dialects of English, both written & spoken.

Especially there's a fair few extremely common notable differences in (casual, written) Irish English: the word "amn't" (among other less common contractions), the alternative present tense of the verb "to be" (i.e. "do be"), various regional plurals of "you", and - perhaps the most common - prepositional pronouns, etc. etc.
I haven't had that issue with Chromebooks in general. Memory management seems to be decent.

He was not a high earner, so the $300k is more reasonable for him. For a high earning turning 40 today $500k is probably about right to have saved up. If you are a high earner turning 25 today, you will probably need in the range of $800k by 40 - but I have no idea what inflation will do so that is just a guess to get attention and not a real number.
Nice update. I think the key question they added that clarifies a lot is #3 (quoted below)

Can I input an extensive text, like a book, into StreamingLLM for summarization?

While you can input a lengthy text, the model will only recognize the latest tokens. Thus, if a book is an input, StreamingLLM might only summarize the concluding paragraphs, which might not be very insightful. As emphasized earlier, we neither expand the LLMs' context window nor enhance their long-term memory. StreamingLLM's strength lies in generating fluent text from recent tokens without needing a cache refresh.
Borders are a relatively new concept and nations existed before borders so what you're saying is trivially false.

>It's illegal to use someone's likeness without their knowledge in a lot of places.

It's illegal to use their likeness claiming that it is actually them. I fail to see how AI voices are legally any different at all than using a human impersonator.

I mean, you used to just be able to call/email and ask someone for their password because who would possibly lie about something like that? But we all (most of us) learned that all calls are junk, all emails are scams. Soon enough all non-in-person/internet interactions will be assumed junk. Could be a good thing?
"I've been pretty happy with my Google hardware so far".

I have a pixel phone. The hardware is impressive. The software is total junk. Everything is designed for to make you into an obsessive-compulsive phone junky. How many stupid alerts and notifications do I need per second. How many ads must I watch? I went back to an iphone despite feeling like the pixel was actually a really good piece of hardware. And an iPhone is not that much better any more.

I would phrase this differently: cyclists and pedestrians don't need stop signs. Drivers do.

We already give pedestrians right of way at four-way stops. It's pretty reasonable to extend that to cyclists.
It's almost like two parties mutually negotiating with each other, each keeping an eye on their own self interest, is a viable way for people with radically different incentives to come to a compromise.

Eh, I don't know. Those schools transmute money into networks for sure, but the degree they do it for merit seems drastically less, perhaps it's even initially a negative at first. I mean, the lazy rich kid who got into Yale because of daddy is such a well-established stereotype now that it's almost the default expectation. :)
You could make the exact same argument for something like git. Yet everybody would be totally fine if their remote/origin is down for a couple of hours. Offline support is about bridging smaller periods of being unconnected while still enabling the user to be somewhat productive.
