I assume it varied greatly by region, but my experience was that it was extremely difficult to find workers during the pandemic response.

It seemed like a combination of fear and restrictions, plus free money at least in the US. I saw hourly rates for physical labor jobs go through the roof, double the pre-response rates and still couldn't fill positions.
Hmm, that landing page and the screenshots within are unbelievably slick looking. I'll download it and give it a try.
It's only healthy if prices have been relatively stable for the 5 years prior to that as well. If prices were on a steady rise and then only back to pre-pandemic, this is losing ground to where they should be.

However, in addition, we can see that nominal prices remain stable over multiple 5 year periods. So yes, healthy.

Too bad that this very good presentation on a decent blog has such a clickbait headline. I guess that's the world we live in. Someone somewhere is going to say this is the death of lumber or other such drama, based on just the title of the post though.

> BUT. On security margins, you could argue the Serpent designers were too conservative: https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1492

Thanks for digging that paper out again. It is really telling that AES only gets a bit of a bump (10-30%) while the other ones gain like 2x or more.

I was about to comment that the competitors to AES were definitely too conservative, and it bit them because of how much slower it made them in software and larger in hardware.
Right now Waymo is operating at a larger scale than Cruise, and driving in more difficult conditions, yet seems to have an order of magnitude fewer problems. The fact there's no way to objectively differentiate the two seems like a regulatory failure.
Integration of tags into filesystem search. If your photos have tags, then the microsoft file browser understands the tags. Could be sidecar files, could be .attr/ parallel dirs, could be EXIF embedded, I kinda don't care. I really like that the tags in photos work in the file management suite.
I think they were talking about DIY. People couldn't really travel or do things outside the house so they might start home improvement projects themselves where as you might be more inclined to hire if you're busy with outside things.

Do you wholeheartedly believe this and can you truly not understand why others might be uncomfortable with the direction of generative AI? Defending your viewpoint makes sense, but I don't buy the idea that the other stance is completely incomprehensible.

The grandma doesn't need generative fonts. She already has fonts that ship with her phone and computer. She already has iMovie for her grandkid videos. Does she need the ability to generate videos of political figures saying things they didn't say?

Obviously, what concerns us is a race to the bottom for the value of all human output.

No, people had more time, DIY projects exploded, and that was compounded additionally by supply chain issues (and closures) like everything else with COVID.

Ask HN: What software did you purchase that positively impacted your family life
Recently my wife and I have recently been trying to organize our lives together a little more, and consolidate+manage the tools and services we use use.

For example, we have a family email address (for shared bills, banking etc) and have use cases for a VPN so we pay for a ProtonMail Family subscription to include both. We also pay for 1Password Family (until ProtonMail's ProtonPass is good enough). I was considering paying for Notion so we could manage our various existing Apple notes, lists etc in a shared space (although I think it's overpriced for this use case).

This got me wondering what other software or tools are out there that have found their niche amongst bringing families value. What software (or hardware) have you bought/maintained a subscription for that has had a positive impact to your family life?
Stare into randomness for long enough, and you'll see something staring back. There's a reason I didn't go pure-math

You are going for a reduction to the absurd here, but what you are saying isn't actually that far off what is practical.

In general, many behaviours influence the chance of bad things happening. Eg getting behind the wheels of a car in the first place increases the chance of vehicular manslaughter (compared to walking).

Society can punish the probabilistically bad behaviour, or the bad outcome or any combination of the two (including none).

If the punishment is purely financial, and enforcement is certain and actors have deep pockets, it doesn't really matter which combination you pick.

You can emulate the deep pockets by requiring people to get insurance. Even if the law only polices the bad outcomes, a rational insurance company might want to police its customers behaviour. (Eg your health insurance gives you a discount, if you show them evidence of healthy habits. That's equivalent to charging people who fail to provide that evidence more, but the discount is more PR friendly.)

Both driving at all and drunk driving increase the chance of a person committing vehicular manslaughter. Societies largely allow driving, but ban drunk driving.

Drunk driving is dangerous, mainly because drunkards have slower reaction times and are more prone to taking risks. The more alcohol you have in your blood, the harsher the fines and punishment. But we typically don't check people's sober reaction times and risk appetite, and charge them more for driving sober.

It's all about trade-offs.

In the case of vehicular accidents, most people don't necessarily have deep pockets, and the damage of injuring or killing people can't be undone by paying money. However we eg still let old people drive, and only do something about them when they actually get involved in an accident.
If it's more labor intensive is it a refinement?
Well, fortunately that's not what happened and not how this works.

You don't get to the discovery stage of a lawsuit without a legitimate claim, especially not against a company like Amazon. It's just not realistic for the FTC to decide to investigate and immediately be granted access to everything. A "fishing expedition" wouldn't be likely to make it past a judge. Amazon has excellent counsel.

That said, unfortunately for Amazon, they are also built for an antitrust model that has been a corrupt perversion of the Clayton act. It's one Lena Khan, especially, has been trying to change since before she was in office. As a result, some of what they were doing in the open was in violation of the act - it just wouldn't have been successfully prosecuted 5 years ago.
Can you name one product of note that you can only get from Amazon?
Slick. It just need public channels or some kind of categorized discovery feed.
And companies in the business are still using supply chain as an excuse for prices. Recently experienced this when going through quotes for an 800 foot cedar fence.
What definition of “market” would you classify Amazon as a monopoly?
Hey folks! Don't know why this is here. Hasn't been many changes to semver lately. I would like to get some going, but been pretty burned out after Rust. I'd love to bring the spec in line with the implementations, so it's gonna be a change in theory but not in practice.

Happy to answer any questions but won't be around the thread for a bit.

That would be hard to get data on, because alcohol is mostly legal and meth and heroin are mostly illegal.

So you have a huge confounder: it seems likely people who are willing to do illegal acts, are more likely to become unemployable.

So if meth was legal, and alcohol was illegal, the situation might be reversed.

(I'm not saying this is true, but to make your statement you'd need to carefully exclude the possibility of this effect.)

Btw, heroin and other concentrated drugs are popular partially because we banned comparatively milder and bulkier alternatives. Eg opium ain't as hard as opium, but it's just as forbidden, and its bigger bulk makes it less profitable to smuggle.
Yet we give amphetamines and opiates to people under prescription en masse without such a thing happening with more prevalence than alcohol.
You suggest this but there is no evidence of that here
During a significant economic downturn, with lots of layoffs, there are no shortage of eminently hireable people who are still not hired.
Skyscrapers look awful no matter what except from a distance.

There, my opinion on that. Does that help? Not at all. Your esthetics are different from mine are different from your parent.

I happen to like sprawled suburbs with lots of greenery. Not the typical actual "cul-de-sac" suburbia but like the more or less naturally grown looking very low density towns. With huge lots but not huge houses.

Skyscrapers are of course marvels of engineering and I can appreciate them for that and some even for the esthetics from afar. The Burj Al Arab did look majestic though I'm not sure how close exactly I was. I would never want to live there. Lots of people that close to each other, all next to other buildings that size tend to breed problems. Not that the Burj has that particular problem but a Chicago and New York do. Not that I'm going to solve over population but that doesn't change the fact that overpopulation breeds issues.
Modular LPDDR Memory Becomes A Reality: Samsung Introduces LPCAMM Memory Modules [1], fixes most of the problem. The only thing that soldered LPDDR ram offers is saved motherboard space. Which really isn't as much of a problem in modern laptop when SoC and GPU are so well integrated.

"Samsung says that LPDDR5X LPCAMMs only occupy 40% of the space of a DDR5 SO-DIMM, and improve power efficiency by up to 70%, roughly in line with the general benefit of LPDDR5X over DDR5."

i think your challenge is how to make friends. i get that. i face that difficulty too. and for me that does mean that sometimes i spend a few hours with people i have never met before who all know each other very well. and sometimes these people are not as welcoming as i had hoped.

as it happens, i like board games too. the nice thing with board games is that you don't have to worry about how well the other players know each other. if they advertised their event then you are welcome by definition. regardless if you get introduced or not. most events i go to, there is no introduction. on boardgame events we just play. so just go and enjoy the game. don't worry about getting to know the others. that will come over time. you get to know each other through your playing style. whether you or the others are competitive or cooperative, etc.

go there a few times, and you will start making friends.

the terraform mars example is a unfortunate one. i never had that happen. there was always someone willing to explain the rules. i played D&D for months without learning the rules. i even hosted D&D sessions without knowing the rules. all it took was players willing to be cooperative.
You should probably lobby for opium legalisation, as the comparatively milder alternative to heroin.
We do ban alcohol because of that though. Maybe not a total ban but we regulate the hell out of it. You can’t even drink until 21 and then you can only drink in certain areas and you’re cut off once you show signs of intoxication.
Advances are always welcome, but it's worth noting that desalination works economically right now.

In the last 15 years large scale desalination has become practical. It's one of the great engineering feats of our time.

We can now generate it at scale for less than $.01 per 6.4 gallons. This includes the cost of the electricity, which is about half the expense.

San Francisco charges $.02/gallon to residents, 12 times that price. It's now cost effective for any coastal city in America to supply residential water this way.

Lots of people still think desalination is still impractical, because it was 20 years ago. They just haven't learned about the new tech.

Ditto, Wayland user for... at least four years now; on Sway, even. Happy to help where I can - I'm very comfortably settled into this new world.

There's a lot of assumption around Wayland handling based on the value of "$DESKTOP_SESSION". This is relevant for xdg portals that make screensharing and the like possible.

In the end it's mainly Electron/Chromium things that may need some launch arguments to truly do Wayland. Anything GTK/Qt has been inherent.

We typically support whatever the underlying library supports. For int8 the support would come from cuBLASLt currently. I don't believe that or Cutlass supports mixed precision inputs, but I can check.

The problem is not the LLM, the lies are the problem.

I don't think an employer would mind a résumé that is factually correct, but edited by a LLM. In the style of "here is my résumé, emphasize the items that match this job offer, and also, fix my grammar and spelling".

Here, the candidates are using a LLM to invent experience that matches the job offer, making a fake résumé. A human doing it doesn't make it better.
This is a real drawback. I had few friends growing up in BFE.
the first link in the sidebar of the MIT writeup is to the paper you linked. it'd be nice if they linked it in the the body copy as well but here we are.

the blog post in question is written by steve novella, who also produces _the skeptics guide to the universe_, a fairly popular science and skepticism podcast. it reads like more than just a "restatement of an MIT press release" to me. i don't love the entirety of the message but it's not just a summary of the paper or a summary of the summary of the paper.

>Only thing that I'm afraid of is the build quality of the chassis that doesn't really seem on par with premium thinkpads and other business laptops.

That is something I "hope" they could work on, but also aware this may distract them from other much more important things. In a perfect world you could have a laptop that has the chassis of a MacBook but the portability, repairability or Framework.
The consumer protection body got involved as well as a lot of negative media attention.

They had to raise their prices so they don't become a monopoly.
