Why bother with working for a large corp or going to college? Seems like he should focus on his organically fast growing startup.
The same can also be very localized. On my way to work there is a 2x2m spot in the middle of open space that does that too
Kid’s making bank, congrats! But as an ex-L4 Googler I need to say, I’m sure he’s similarly frustrated as I was. I don’t live to maximize income - I want to maximize learning and fun. Compared to successfully launching a startup fixing bugs and launching minor features as an L4 is depressing as hell.

Not everyone will have it that bad. Hopefully he’s having a better time than I did.
i said "similar". besides, mine cost pennies compared to what the image in TFA cost. you get what you pay for.

or, set up the same rig minus the light, and then give the rig a shake while the shutter is open. much less random in the streaks.
Shenzhen isn't a good example here. In Shenzhen you can ask people to upgrade your laptop's RAM by unsoldering it, but usually those laptops are considered nonupgradable everywhere else in the world.
And heavily implied they were the restaurant with fake phone numbers too.

You'd call a number, "I can take your order for XYZ whenever you're ready!"

No yes or no answer, just "What's your order for XYZ restaurant?"
I keep a Go and Rust compiler installed for when I need to use them. I’d rather not wait for it to download and install every time I want to do so.
That's correct, at the moment you can only add an app that you can claim ownership of (vis dns). The current list was manually added by us + by devs who have listed their apps on our site, but we'll be rolling out a more scalable solution soon, along with some better curation. I think that's a good idea to allow users to recommend listings - we'll look into adding that soon. Would love for you to create an account so we can keep you posted on this feature / other progress :-)
I've yet to see a moderation method that works better than gatekeeping.
I don't have a laser simply because I haven't seen an "all in one" full color laser that's as compact as the Epson inkjet I'm using. I can't speak to the color quality of lasers really vs inkjet, but I've printed a bunch of photos that come out "good enough" on photo paper with my printer. Mind, if we need any volume, we ship 'em off to the drugstore, but that can actually be a bit of pot luck when it comes to framing and such.

We use the scanner often enough to make it worthwhile, and we don't have the room for a second, compact B&W laser.

The only real thing I need to do is replace this with a tank version. Ink is still crazy, but momentum keeps us going with it. A full set of ink cartridges cost about 1/2 of a new printer.

Other than that, I'm pretty content with this thing.
I have an inverter microwave. Before I went crazy with APs around my house, that microwave would win the war; no zero-crossings to sneak a packet by it.

Now my bluetooth only drops when I'm fairly close to the microwave as it runs. (EDIT: my WiFi, not my Bluetooth)
It was because of this line:

> So if someone wants to annoy you, they can sign up for your newsletter

I'm sure you aren't the problem, but in general, every time you do business with any company they sign you up for marketing garbage on an opt-out basis. I personally do actually use the "proper unsubscribe mechanism" on these things but I have absolutely no sympathy for them and I hope Google just decides to unilaterally end this practice.
Nope - zero interuptions. Using some cheap ikea microwave.
Feature Extraction with Large Language Models, Hugging Face and MinIO
A neat guide on how to perform feature extraction using the hidden states of LLMs. As a bonus, it also goes over securely loading datasets without having to upload your data onto the Hugging Face Hub.
i agree but some people are so brainwashed from such an early age that they need to go to college and the best one out there or they won't be successful in life.

I should point them to my old neighbor who didn't go to school and worked as a HVAC tech. Then started his own company and he barely works now and is 42.

My test program already proves that if you alloc-and-dirty memory aggressively then in background mode you will consume much more CPU time. If your metric is "interfering with foreground processes" then this is fine, but I think the slowdown is severe enough to matter.

As for saving memory, I see your point, but I still don't see how the cap would be better than per-second trimming. If the clean-then-zeroed page is not touched again by the background process then either method would make it available. If the clean-then-zeroed page is touched again by the background process then the whole process of removing it from the working set, zeroing it, then reading it back in and faulting back in is a waste of time. So, again, I'm struggling to find a scenario where the cap is more effective than once-per-second trimming.
My in-laws needed a printer scanner because they are getting old and needed to scan paperwork to move to a retirement community. They went out and bought an HP printer scanner and asked me to help them set it up. It took me multiple hours and I still couldn't figure everything out. It took them the next two days to really get it up and running. Poorly designed actively hostile software.
Is OBS packaged by your distro? On NixOS I just started up OBS and I could add the "Browser" input with no issues.
Not entirely sure why everyone is so combative.

> what in your mind would need to happen to make this book open source

Gitbooks is a good example of that.

Open Source is easy to define. This is a PDF, so it's the artifact of some 'build' producing it. If a book is open source, I'd expect a .tex file, or whatever the input was which created the PDF, with the pictures attached or the code which draws the pictures/graphs/etc... If it's a word document, I guess that also works. I'm also not the only one to call it out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37779549

> I'm not sure the snarky "I'm referring to the content itself, not what is advertised about it." is necessary or particularly helpful.

There is no snark here. I asked a question about the content of the book. I got an answer from the article talking about the book, which I already read.

The thing is when you call a human on bullshit, they usually can't back it up well enough to pass the smell test. When you call an AI on bullshit it can instantly fabricate plausible, credible seeming sources/evidence.

A human's lie is different than an AI's hallucination, since it's still based on (distorting) the truth, whereas the hallucination is based on an invented reality (yes I know it's applied statistics and there's no true model of the world in there, but it can report as if there is)

Tell me about it. Our company was recently acquired and they are swapping out Thinkpad P1's with Dell precision. Protest was no use.
I went to community college and a tiny private college nobody has ever heard of and I got a good paying job in tech as an engineer at a prestigious company. And I understand the obsession with Stanford and MIT, the networking opportunities, the namesake, but I never felt like I had to attend a prestigious university to study what I wanted. Just my 2c. Ironically the community college prepared me better for a career in tech than the 4-year school.
> Having some kind of centralized travel booking service that "took care of everything" would likely have caused me to find another job

Having worked at both kinds of companies, I vastly preferred having a travel agent that took care of everything.

For example: one time I had a later flight with a layover. The initial flight was delayed on the tarmac before takeoff, and immediately upon landing, a person called me telling me there were no more flights that evening to my final destination, but they'd already booked me a hotel near the airport and the first flight out in the morning to my final destination, and asked me if I'd like any modifications. Perhaps someone else who wants more control would like to handle that stuff themselves, but for me, it was a massive luxury to have an experienced professional automatically smooth over any problem I encountered during my travel. I certainly didn't miss keeping all my crumpled receipts and submitting expense reports either.
as someone with a visual processing disorder, this is like having a page scream at me. Repeatedly.

> people who illegally (ftfy) use copyrighted works to create a product

Yes, this is something that most people who aren't illegalists agree is wrong.

> that provides value to society

This is just wholesale coolaid.

AI is a tool. The tool doesn't provide value, only the use of a tool does, when that use is positive. The use can also be negative.

This case is not about the legal permissibility of using copyrighted works to train AI. That is a misrepresentation.

This case is about the legal permissibility of using copyrighted works, against the wishes of the works' creators, to train AI, which is clearly wrong.

"What do a few individual humans matter versus the advancement of humanity?" is an argument that has been invoked many times, by the evilest people.

What issues do you have with reward programs as a developer or business owner?
I'm thinking about how a perfect reward system would be.
like using redeemed points or crypto or giving away just a bunch of cool stuff. I have issues with performing a wide range of reward systems to please my users but maintaining this system is hard. What kind of other issues do you have?
That would be awesome if they did. I decided to create an enhancement request: https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/issues/3706
Sorry you seem so offended even though I pointed out that "I'm sure I'm in a tiny minority". For my personal use case, as I thought I'd already made clear, I just don't find any value in YouTube. Every time I mention that on here, someone gets extremely upset like I was talking about their mother. Of course it's "on me", I'm not going to wade through pages of people debasing themselves with stupid faces just for clicks in order to seek out better content, when I can read a book, or watch something made by professionals with a budget, or literally anything else.
Random aside: The author of this, Bob McGrew, is now the VP of Research at OpenAI.
"We present assembly theory (AT) as a framework that does not alter the laws of physics, but redefines the concept of an ‘object’ on which these laws act. AT conceptualizes objects not as point particles, but as entities defined by their possible formation histories. This allows objects to show evidence of selection, within well-defined boundaries of individuals or selected units."

In other words, tweaking definitions to fit a pre-defined narrative.

> [1]: One could say all the policies are decided this way...

The silver lining here is that lobbyists can only afford to care about finite number of things at a time - so even if they get some laws their way, other factions can push laws mitigating the damage somewhat.

I currently believe (weakly) that the outcome of more and better lobbying isn't laws getting directly worse for society, but rather the regulatory system grinding to a halt under increasing number of laws that exist to cancel out parts of other laws...

Well you can't have a memory race without unsafe. The goal of the example was to show undefined behaviour.
There are all sorts of contractors ... Low paid menial work like driving a car and highly specialized ones, like having expertise in an area of nursing (wound/burn care, surgery, maternity, etc).
Often when you say someone is right or left wing, there is an implicit assumption that that person buys into this and that.

Not a bad place if they make the most of it. They'll learn pretty good SDLC best practices and get exposed to Google's internal tooling. All of these are useful for running a technical team at some point.

And battery life is probably around 2 weeks!
Disagree! I've been using Thinkpads since 2004 and was a bit obsessed with them around 2010 and almost had a museum with old machines I bought on eBay. I had two 701cs's butterfly models etc. Every model I've had was much better than the one before in almost every way. There's a lot of nostalgia with the older models, but man, compared to what we have today they were unusable and you would not carry something like that around! Super heavy, easily scratched rubber paint, bad plastic.

Now a lot of things I miss a lot. The modularity, latches, ThinkLight, the upside down Thinkpad logo on the outside shell (oriented correctly towards the user, not the other people in the room), 7 row keyboard, good Fn keys functionality like media keys. The T400 that I regularly stood on to impress people how sturdy it was. But all of these things cost a lot in terms of weight and size (except the logo which was just copying the change that Apple made).

Just so you know the context: these are the machines I used a lot. T42p, R60, T400, T440s, T470s, T495s, T14s Gen2 (current).

If you respect the sturdiness vs. form factor trade-off, I believe build quality has gone up with every machine I bought.
It seems you've moved the goalposts from demonstrating hypocrisy to an argument about quantity.
I doubt the 1590 really did him much worse than 1610!
I personally know a half-dozen high-performing devs at FAANG companies who have never attended college at all, too.
So they are too big to regulate? Great let's split them up.
Good thing that isn't the argument I'm making then.
Yeah, I think that, at least with respect to programming, the important question is, does college matter anymore. I think that ideally, it should not, because there are so so so many other ways to learn and prove yourself.

I think college is great for a lot of things like physics or philosophy, but maybe, outside of theoretical CS, it just doesn't matter anymore. And that's OK.
maybe you can argue the case that chatgpt is a programmer, but all the human is doing here is making requests and copying and pasting. is a manager a programmer?

or, to put it another way, if everyone is a programmer, the word is meaningless.
Yeah, that kind of service would have been awesome.
I should have been more clear. GPS is the source, but the APIs that these systems use with the ground are usually UTC due to the nature of the clock source on the servers they are talking to.

Getting a UTC time from GPS involves the leap second and during the event agreeing how how it’s implemented. Some systems smear, some double tick a 0 at midnight, it’s a disaster.

I completely agree that any coordination should be TAI. But that’s not the world we have to interface with unfortunately.

This hell isn’t imaginary, I’m speaking from experience of seeing stuff fall out of sync on the last leap second due to some systems using GPS with no smear and others using NTP to a source that smears.
Only enumerate and pay for top-level tools and dependencies, none of which are probably padLeft. Those downstream recipients can further "pay it forward" to their top-level dependencies.

Dark Forest makes no sense.

If you are an intelligence capable of faster-than-light interstellar travel, capable of snuffing out stars, capable of collapsing dimensions-- you don't care about anyone else. Nobody's going to compete with you for resources.

Scarcity no longer exists. All you care about is energy and you have mastered it. Energy is practically infinite to you. You can sit off to the side of black holes or neutron stars harvesting energy from their relativistic jets.

Finding or controlling a consistent supply of physical matter, least of all individual stars and planets, is no longer relevant to you. You can just pluck individual hydrogen atoms out of the interstellar void and rearrange them using your sources of near-infinite energy to transform them into million-kilometer-wide cubes of whatever you want.

If someone makes it to your level of mastery of the cosmos, you would just share the locations of any of the other several hundred billion sources of free and limitless energy.

You ain't killing a star because an inhabitant of one of its planets might take your planet over. You haven't needed to live on planets for billions of years. You can construct atomically-perfect structures of arbitrary size and composition out of what we perceive to be the nothingness of space.

You don't need dirt.
From that article you linked to, while it's true that the figure for "NMHC" is higher (0.005g/min to 1.495g/min, yes this is almost 300x), this is just the worse case result - look at the other figures too: NOx is 0.005g/min to 0.010g/min (a doubling) and CO is 0.276g/min to 6.445g/min (about 25x). Of course, all of these figures will be dwarfed by CO2 emissions which will be roughly proportional to the amount of fuel used.

Now consider the time spent doing these activities - 30 minutes compared to 47 hours (according to Google), so multiply all those per minute figures for the truck by 100 to make a fair comparison. Now, the blower is triple the "NMHC", 2% of the NOx, 25% (EDIT: I made a mistake before) of the CO and about 0.2% of the CO2 (100 gallons vs 0.2L).

Honestly, I don't know what "NMHC" includes - as presumably it doesn't include NOx as that is called out separately, but whatever, it's just part of the emissions and so the claim that the image makes of "fewer hydrocarbon emissions" is clearly false. I'll agree that it seems to be a bad summary of the article which was "the emissions are dirtier".

EDIT: Actually, I should add that the image has done a good of raising awareness that leaf blowers are clearly pretty dirty even despite not using much fuel, so I guess it served its purpose even if after looking at the sources, I'm still not really sure by how much in actual terms, because the things I know to look out for - CO and NOx - aren't as bad as claimed, only NMHC, something I've never heard of before, and I've no idea how bad that is.
The real news (to me) here is that Google is smart enough not to care about college degrees.
I love that interpretation, but in today's retweet driven world of politically commentary, I actually find it quite plausible that pseudonymous kids with no grasp of the real world who think rational political debate is the nonsensical slogans they're spouting on the internet become major Twitter influencers that actual politicians want to court for their "authenticity" and "willingness to say the unsayable", and maybe their dank memes.
In the US, yes, but we have a history of ignoring or only partially adhering to these types of restrictions. In Europe, this is not the case:

> Within the European Union, the term "Parmesan" may be used, by law, to refer only to Parmigiano Reggiano itself, which must be made in a restricted geographic area, using stringently defined methods.

See also champagne vs. méthode champenoise vs. méthode vs. méthode traditionnelle. In the EU you can't even use the second option anymore. In California, it was initially referred to by the first option, then the second, and now a mix of the second and the third.

I don't think this is helping consumers at all. If they want champagne from the Champagne region of France, they can tell immediately from the label.
I'm willing to deal with the Linuxisms of being on Linux (wayland having bad tablet support and controls, I agree with you!) but the fact that on top of that Krita works particularly bad on KDE's default setup, whereas using CSP with Wine is a better experience is absurdity to me.
Also, on a desktop, some websites are just more naturally run in their own separate window than as a browser tab because you frequently need to switch to/from them: e.g. ChatGPT, Gmail, Google Voice/Keep, MDN docs, dictionaries.

And you can put the PWAs in full sceen mode, whereas full-screen mode in a regular browser is almost always pointless ever since they took away tab indicators.
Can confirm - L4 is super depressing for ambitious engineer.
You're not getting that just from the file system though. Depending on the performance requirements and use case it may or may not be complicated. You are going down the rabbit hole of creating your own foundation for a database at that point.
Not exactly. There are some ways to install GNU/Linux distros on Chromebooks, the Eupnea project's Depthboot script[1], for example, lets users build/run a distro by extracting the rootfs from an ISO file, and apply Chromebook-specific patches, like using ChromeOS' kernel, using keyd to make patches to support the Chromebook keyboard's action keys, and much others.

(Disclaimer: I'm the current maintainer of the Eupnea project.)
