It’s difficult if you have teams split between WFH and RTO though. The compromise is for all team members to be in the office at least some days per week, or else to just have RTO companies vs. WFH companies. I agree that everyone should be able to choose their preferred mode of working, but you can’t just arbitrarily mix people with different modes and expect that to cause no issues.
At a 300 euro price point, integrated experience from Samsung, Huawei and Xioami are good enough for most folks.
> it is not the case that advertising in general is inherently harmful.

I never claimed that it was.

But harmful/deceptive marketing is quite common. A decent rule of thumb is to consider all of it suspect.
People and companies who want to associate in a certain way should be allowed to.

People and companies who want to associate in a different way should also be allowed to.

That lets some people and some companies choose RTO, others choose hybrid, and others choose remote-only.

I shouldn't be able to force my beliefs onto you, nor you onto me (we probably largely agree; I'm pro-remote overall); to the extent that there's an imbalance in supply and demand, there's a lot of room for prices to adjust the balance. If companies need to pay a premium for RTO, they can choose that.
Curious how this compares to Mistral's release? 3b->7b doesn't seem like a huge leap and Mistral has shown phenomenal results for its size
Oh I know. And I hate it. I run a remote company and have dealt with it.

I wish there was a company that existed to handle this for me. I just tell them I want to hire someone in state XXX and they set me up with whatever I need in that state. There are a bunch of companies that will get me 1/2 way (set up payroll but then tell me I'm on my own for insurance, for example).

But still, for the right person, it's worth the hassle. But this is also why some companies limit their remote work to certain states -- so they only have to do that stuff a few times.
Does an LLM need to loop back to re-read its input, even in a regular (read non-sliding) context window?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but doesn't the hidden state solve the "lookup" problem in this case? In the sense that the LLM needs to ingest your entire input anyway before answering, then whether your instruction is at the front or at the end carries little impact besides on attention.
its usually from user behaviour and how the advertiser setup the keywords for the product. If users searching for "children's clothing" start having a high conversion for "NIKOLAI-brand kidswear" then more and more of their ads will start appearing when searching for children's clothing.

To say nothing of the fact there is an guarantee your tax rate once you retire will be less than it is now. In theory we all asume it will be, but like all other financial decisions, past performance should not be assumed to be future results. Factor in Uncle Sam is the tax rate decision maker and anything is possible.

In short, saving taxed income is a form of diversification.
Just FYI, you should definitely do your own research and your own planning for what's right for you / what your trusted financial advisor says. For example, this comment is completely wild financially to me to read for advice.

- If you are high enough income, maxing 401k, an IRA, and an HSA every year is sadly still not enough.

- Location variance makes it really hard to find comparable intel online for a right path. Cost of living, job market / income levels, family situation and size, etc...

- Although sometimes extreme, the Bogglehead and FI/RE communities are great.

Assuming this means "arrive at the point where there is no national debt" ignoring means, feasibility, time before transitioning back to debt again, etc...

Point #1, we're in a global economy, where USD is the de facto currency worldwide. Meaning, there are feedback loops aplenty. It's impossible to reason about in a linear fashion.

Point #2, the effects of the debt are not isolated from the reasons why the debt is pursued (and maintained, and grown) to begin with. Meaning, I would recommend reading history and reading liberally ("widely") to seriously pursue this question.

Point #3, because this is economics (okay, macroeconomics), it is actually a philosophical question. Meaning, be prepared for thinking in the context of a certain worldview or outlook. There is little room (from my worldview, actually no room) for a perfect + neutral + outside + judgemental stance.

Unfortunately, solving the many problems of this century requires us to walk and chew gum at the same time. Oil and gas extraction also leaves an enormous amount of social destruction in its wake, such as the massive increase in homicide, drug abuse and sex trafficking in the Bakken Shale region in North Dakota during the boom in the 2010s. Social issues created by resource extraction are not unique to renewable energy, and highlighting those problems only when they relate to renewables is deeply intellectually dishonest.

I actually have a full queen size cardboard bed that looks similar to this, and they're amazing! I bought it as a temporary bed while I waited for my furniture to arrive during a cross-world move, and never gave it up. It's quite comfortable, and really easy to move, and includes under the bed drawers. I've been using it for 5 years now and its still holding up (with a matress, which these don't have, but still). My apartment is a different experience than the refugee camp for sure, but for all the people who are dispariging these vs. steel cots for their lack of durability, they're surprisingly tough. It'll easily survive a couple glass of water spilled on it without being destroyed, it won't handle a flood or a wet floor, but logistically a cardboard bed is amazing and works surprisingly well.

Having ineffective management ("it’s really hard to a manager (sic) to see what is actually happening when remote, which can let some serious problems fester") is a leadership problem that is easily fixed by hiring competent and experienced leaders who have worked with remote teams.

Incompetent leaders cannot manage people remotely and they generally do a poor job when in person, but it's masked by their ability to micromanage and type-A the problem away.

I poked around there for a while, and my takeaway was "sub-par" all around, which might be the reason for it's relative obscurity? The thing is, I can't tell to what extent it's the tech, and to what extent it's just "very uninteresting source material."

The problem with not listening to economists is that you then suggest policies which economic history reveals are seriously flawed. Why are foreign investors likely to accept shares in your business denominated in, say, Rupiyah? Especially if it can't be "hot money", which implies they won't be able to resell it. As for building the equipment yourself: are you kidding? This kind of import-substitution failed spectacularly all over the developing world in the 1950s.

I find it weird. Nobody would listen to me pontificating about how to design a microkernel and talking about "the problem with programmers".
Is it, though? I reckon it’s commonly accepted. I reckon there are cases that can be highlighted. As I’m sure it’s possible to make the case that some trickle-down policies work. But in the end, plural forms or synonyms do not equate to the original word.
Argument I read from an economist was that economists want to you pretend that negative externalizes don't matter. And that positive ones don't exist. He said if you accept positive ones exist then that changes a lot. What economists hate is the idea that a society where people chose actions with positive externalities is better off than one where they are selfish.

Someone going to night school to get a learn something and get a degree has large positive externalities .

So think of the the reverse of a pigovian tax where you tax people doing things with negative externalizes. Here you subsidize people doing things you do want and tax everyone else who might benefit to pay for it.

Cat found after Lyft fiasco dragged on for days, Lyft to pay vet bills
As someone who is likely funding what is ultimately a money/power grab, if I'm paying for education, I want it to be for degrees that have direct, immediate impact: educators, doctors, hard sciences. While there is a possibility of funding the education of the next great novelist, sociologist, artist, or historian, there will never be a return on that investment for the vast number of students in those fields. I don't know why we'd force that risk on the public.

Colleges (public or private) are too good at absorbing any money that is made available to them, to be trusted as being fiduciaries of public education, IMHO. As student loans and public money are made available, they have raised tuition to fill the gap without providing any additional benefit for their increased incomes.

For the second one, the only thing that mucking with a private institutions admissions process will do is turn it into a public institution that is no longer elite. They're private, let them do what they want.
Ah, thanks! Admittedly I Googled that one, it didn't feel right...
My somewhat facetious take is that LLMs are trying really hard to reinvent RNNs and would do so if we just gave them the tools to do so.
A bit off topic, but honestly meeting people at top schools and mid/low ranked schools, I don't see much of a difference except in the opportunities these people have. Whether it is physics or CS, I don't see a meaningful quality difference in their work, only that the Stanford/MIT/Berkeley kid gets more internships and has an easier opportunity getting a new job if they mess up at their old one. I routinely see people from very prestigious universities with PhDs fail on rather simple concepts that are within their domain (or answered by a google search). E.g. I've had someone from a top 5 CS school, with a PhD in ML, ask on my github to solve a tensor mismatch for them when my research code uses pytorch's nn.Embeddings and we direct them to the correct checkpoint to use (but they don't). (not our code so we don't directly provide the embedding checkpoint, but we indirectly do)

A bit on topic, if this trend is as strong as it appears to be (many people I talk to see the same thing) then it really shows an over valuing of elite schools and frames this entire argument a bit differently. It would make sense that this should happen too, as teaching positions are highly competitive so there's a strong trickle down effect. You routinely see at low ranked schools professors from high ranked schools (often in a soft retire, for location, or in a junior position). It would make sense that quality levelizes when a single top ranked school produces more PhDs than there are positions to fill nation wide. And on top of the general _trend_ that you can only work at a university lower in ranking than the one you attended (immediately post graduation).
Why is this not "whataboutism?"

It's okay if it happens again because it happened previously?
Ask HN: Bootstrapping, demo'd MVP to potential customers, but stuck
After building MVP over a couple months based on a problem i've had and also known others to have, I spent the last couple months doing a whole lot of outreach, talking to target audience (small businesses mostly) and understanding their frustrations and showing them what I build. I must have reached out to hundreds of people, spent dozens of hours talking to people. I even got coffee with a few of them and spent time talking When I showed them what I'm working on, they were all interested and gave some good feedback as well.

Unfortunately, nobody seems to commit to try being my "pilot" customers. I'm offering it free for 3 months, and my plan was maybe I could support 5 such customers and really tune my product based on further feedback.

What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do differently? Any and all ideas welcome, thank you!
The news here is that Microsoft Defender have revealed that they have no adequate release testing process.

Third-party AVs are a crapfest of dark patterns and false positives and resource hogging, if you install one and it does something bad that's kind of on you.

But Windows Defender is built into the OS and enabled by default.

Tor.exe should certainly be in a list of top 1000 common software packages that any tester would want to ensure don't get flagged and quarantined/deleted in a new virus definitions database. An update candidate that went out to a fraction of a percent of installs or to Microsoft's own employees, scanned without taking action, and posted to a dashboard reviewed by the Defender team that a file called "tor.exe" would be flagged if they continued the rollout would have stopped this. I can think of a dozen ways that a testing process would catch this. The fact that it happens proves there's either a lot of incompetence, or malice that was able to subvert a testing process.

That's easy. Generally speaking, anyone who is critical of empire-building is seen by that empire's apparatchiks as a "foreign agent or useful idiot."

Thanks for that, I was going to point out its the public key, and cert validation that is going to be the problem more than the actual data encryption. I had this problem a couple years back with a project on a esp8266, which was taking on the order of 5 seconds at 160Mhz to setup a TLS connection. And it got worse with longer key lengths, and validating a cert chain.

So, ballpark it probably takes multiple minutes, and probably consumes most of the RAM for the intermediate steps with longer keys.

OTOH, I switched to an ESP32 because it has RSA offload, and something like that could be attached to an apple ][ fairly easily, to provide a connection offload accelerator.
Elite schools transmute money into merit. Even if we completely marketize them, the human biases that exist in relation to them are sticky.

This doesn't mean that "people's biases are wrong, therefore the consequences are irrelevant." It means that the choices made must account for those biases. The choices we make regarding merit laundering, must account for people's biases toward graduates. We would be fools not to.
That doesn't help me. My code may generate a whole bunch of IDs in a microsecond, so using a 32bit time isn't going to keep them time sorted. I may as well just use a UUIDv4 at that point.
That's trivially true for audio. You can just subtract one from the other to find differences.
Agree, but that has already happened. Tires already have tax on them, which makes people replace them somewhat less, since they balance the equation cost vs risk from worn tires, particularly very large scale users like taxi companies, rental fleets, trucking companies etc. We already accept the tradeoff of for example, charging 10% sales tax on tires in return for slightly more accidents.

My point is that we might be able to rebalance it more correctly by raising prices. There could be significant pressure to reduce pollution from wear technically, pressure to drive less, but also pressure to keep tires on carts slightly longer. Given that we're still making the equation more accurate, it would still be a net gain.

You can't just say "don't do that" without also explaining why you do not advocate removing sales tax on tires, or even having negative sales tax (to incentivize more frequent & safe tire replacement). Status quo is not really a defense.
I'm not sure if it's comparable, but the Japanese Shinkansen had similar issues when it's first built. A lot of the stations didn't go through the existing central stations due to costs and other logistical problems. This is why there are a lot of stations that the Shinkansen goes through that are called "Shin-XXX" (e.g. Shin Osaka). During a period of fast economic growth this isn't a big issue because the areas around these stations quickly become hubs or alternative downtown areas of their own. Now, I don't know if this will happen to CN but it is a somewhat repeatable outcome of building important railroad hubs in newly developed areas.
> By profit sharing, I mean literally giving workers a cut of their direct contributions.

That to me sounds like a bad incentive in engineering. Everybody wants to work only on new features, things like code quality, maintenance, refactoring, infrastructure don't matter anymore.
Pick a language. Write your tictactoe game. First write it in text output on a terminal. Get the gameplay working there. Fix the strategy/tactics/move evaluation stuff there.

Then make it use a GUI.

Do the same with a snake game, but do it in a different language.

Basically, you learn to code by coding. You already have things you want to do. So go do them. Start small (tictactoe) and try to write it. When you find you can't do it because you can't do console input? Learn console input, then go back to building the game. (That is, learn a little bit of console input - enough to get you unstuck on the game. Don't try to learn everything there is to learn, even about console input.)

The Reddit redesign hid the sidebar, where many subreddits had a FAQ. Now, only that tiny percentage that uses old.reddit.com will see the FAQ, Wiki and all those other treasure troves of information the community had built up. I suspected – and continue to suspect – that Reddit wants the same questions to appear over and over again, as that seems like the very definition of engagement.

I have also seen mods claim that when people post a question, it isn’t necessarily because they couldn’t answer it themselves, but because they’re just seeking interaction with other members of the community. Therefore, old-school net users who refer people to FAQs are cruelly denying them an outlet for socializing.
Ummm. It probably depends on the kind of work you do in the terminal but for me it was a game changer. Being able to pull in any of the text from a terminal into a buffer, easily, without copy paste or mouse is a massive game changer for the type of work I do. I can operate on any of the text in the terminal the same way I would emacs, and pull it into a code buffer. Selectively pulling in random long directory paths, etc etc. I can also drop anything from notes or code into a terminal without needing to dance around.

It also turns emacs (server-mode) into a really great replacement for tmux/screen. tmux behaves very strangely in how it instantiates the very first window, calling the process after that window and killing that window can kill all your tmux sessions. I run emacs as a daemon on my HPC clusters and have it monitor jobs and more via vterm.
> The labor market has changed. Many people got to try WFH and fell in love with it.

It's not even necessarily falling in love with working at home but just working not in shitty office environments. For most people "the office" is some miserable building in an office park in the middle of a food/service desert. Employees that need to commute to that office don't get paid for the hours of their life wasted in traffic or any financial expenses related to their commute. People with kids have to pay even more money for some child care if they can't be home when their kids get off from school.

Working from home/wherever allows someone to save on those money and time costs. They can be home when their kids get off school. They can make a sandwich at 11:23AM because they're hungry. They can stop pouring dollars into a daily commute. Hell they can even live where they want instead of somewhere in commuting distance of a shitty office park.

Many of the WFH challenges are the same as working in an office, like inconsiderate entities disturbing you or placating middle managers by attending meetings. At least you can bear those challenges in comfortable clothes in a comfortable seat. You can then take a break and shit in a bathroom you don't share with dozens of other inconsiderate coworkers. WFH isn't perfect and people don't need to love it to at least prefer it over the dystopian hell of offices.
