Could you share your perspective on what would be the most productive terms for the independent musicians and what all would you expect them to entail?
Even a mediocre fraudster won't need to be told what they did wrong. That bullshit line of reasoning is to cover their asses from litigation.
You'd think you'd decide who you are gunna lay off before announcing it

They almost certainly have. The consultation process is basically negotiating with the unions over what sort of package they have to offer to the laid off workers to avoid the unions being difficult about the whole thing.

You sure about this? I seem to recall it shared the usual Wi-Fi hardware.
The core is that we always represent time as space.

In our mind, the past, present, and future are 3d or 2d relations. The week, a month, your lifespan all have some spatial "shape", or order at the least. I'm no expert, but I am pretty sure this is not Synesthesia like the article implies.

"My" inner year is a counter-clockwise circle. But my week is a strip, even though week loops like years. My life is a downwards strip, I guess because I'll die someday. History itself is an upward strip, because time itself will never end (presumably).
> The model was sparse fine-tuned on GSM8K, a dataset with high-quality and diverse grade school math problems. For this task zero-shot evaluation achieved 0% while 8-shot evaluation achieved 6.8%. The model was therefore fine-tuned via supervised fine-tuning (SFT).

That's a heck of a score to gloss over. For reference, the GSM8K dataset has questions like this:

> Natalia sold clips to 48 of her friends in April, and then she sold half as many clips in May. How many clips did Natalia sell altogether in April and May?

A LLM that can't get above 10% performance 8-shot on that is pretty much worthless by modern standards.

(Or at least worthless for math problems, but I haven't been very impressed by MPT in other areas either.)

So what the article tells us is that they managed to get garbage much faster than originally. Which
.. yeah, that's not great.
FileMaker maybe.

But yeah, both tools are great for in-house applications in my experience. It’s quite easy to provide actually useful features very quickly. It might not win you design awards, but often that’s not a problem in reality.

I’d rather have an inventory that is correct but maybe looks a bit homegrown than one that looks like it has been designed by Jony Ive but is wrong for example.
So, this makes numbers in text more numbery than stringy. As a side effect, will this make it more likely that a LLM will claim C99 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99) is greater than C17 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C17_(C_standard_revision))?
I have never forgotten the time United Airlines allowed a man to be beaten, because he wouldn't give up his seat that he paid for. It doesn't matter what they do, I will never fly United.
It's in English, and HN is an American website. Also Norwegian and American culture are not so distant. I'm just trying to understand because it seems like some kind of cultural phenomena, but I may be wrong. I can't visualize an year even if I take acid, visualizing concepts is just not the way my mind works. Perhaps this is some kind of art-game or something? Or are these people actually saying they see these images when they think about and use the concept of a year???
Each chiplet comes with its own tool chain. The FPGA has a full RTL2BITS tool chain, the CPU is supported by standard RISC-V tools, and the ML chiplet will have a typical ML programming flow. The full system parallel heterogeneous programming challenge is something the whole industry is grappling with. It's an unsolved problem. DARPA started a program on this topic in 2020 called PAPPA.

The manycore emulation demo kind of hints at where we are going...more information to follow in the next few months.

Yeah, at time of introduction, Intel would have had a lot more experience of their e-cores than Apple. The e-cores in the M1 were, I believe, net-new and reused later (old Apple Watches just had process-shrunk former phone cores, I think).
Nokia has always been a Finnish company. They've just licensed their name out (via a daughter company) for use on phones now.

This is super weird.

The review loop should at least have gone to a person. It’s hard to assume both review loops missed something like that.

I have never put ads on FB - I would assume that there is at least a tagging, or topic orientation for ads (Education, Coding, CS, IT, for example).

The fact that the full ban came so quickly after the appeal is also very strange.

In France a company that does this is promptly brought to court, loses, the union is created in bright daylight with fanfare and gets more people because of the publicity.

Left wing parties yell about apocalypse, right wing ones stay put this time, and the story never repeats.
A VDFS is interesting, devices have smaller storage now Cloud storage has taken over, and files may be distributed over multiple computers and local storage like a NAS.

But in the Cloud scenario in which this was originally conceived it makes more sense as the computers are always on and so the files are available... but what happens here as personal devices are more likely to be on one at a time, with the exception of a NAS.

In that respect this feels like a feature not a product, something that Synology or QNAP would add to make the NAS feel more seamless with your device and not require you to have the files local to your device or to use your device network share to access... for it to feel more native.
> Amazon

Has rankings, plus a reasonably good discovery engine. More sales on the platform will influence the former and could influence the latter, leading to even more sales.

Buying direct puts more money into the author's pocket per sale but has zero ability to influence other sales.

There is no easy answer.
It had a resistive touch screen and stylus, so it was never going to succeed.
I can't be the only one that's surprised that Nokia still has 86000 employees. It makes me wonder what they all do.
Taxes weren’t particularly difficult if like most people you were overpaying before this software showed up.

The complexity was originally a way to effectively have different rules for people with accountants than regular citizens thus allowing politicians to shift the tax burden without making the carveouts obvious.

Now days we just blatantly tax people living off investments less, etc. Thus defeating the original purpose of that complexity.
I had an N700 too. Nokia would be in exactly the same place today if their iPhone competitor had been that platform augmented by 3G phone capabilities.

It was a finicky Linux GUI on a resistive screen, conceptually closer to Windows Mobile and Symbian touchscreen devices (like the SonyEricsson phones) than any modern platforms.

Android would have still beaten Nokia to a usable iPhone clone/competitor.
Meta does spend on humans to review cases though.

Which is why it seems really strange that this was a lifetime ban, and so quickly at that.

Maybe it didnt even get to human review?
this is seriously such a hostile behaviour pattern of most tech companies. It should be banned by EU and US regulation
The last ads that I created were 2-3 years ago.

Some were advertising my paid courses on Python and Pandas.

Others were advertising my free courses about regular expressions.

Still others were advertising my mailing list.

None of this comes even close to anything illegal, unless I'm massively mistaken.
Physical attacks on right-leaning politicians in Germany are on the rise. Usually in the name of peaceful coexistance, as they are targeted at politicians opposing an open immigration policy.

I personally oppose an open immigration policy and I see myself more on the left in most issues. That's why the whole left / right divide is nonsense. I can oppose keeping minimum income low by employing(taking advantage of) people from poorer countries without being racist.

Calling Elon a nazi because he agreed with something a right leaning politician said is juvenile. And that's coming from a person whose family was targeted for extemination by the nazis (grandfather was an intellectual slav(dr.med.), can't have that screwing with the race theories).
An acquaintance of mine (in Europe) had a default bank transfer message "al-qaeda terrorist fund" for years and years. That did finally raise some flags, but a visit to a bank office was enough to get the account unblocked.

Being a bit stubborn, he still kept the message and just applied rot13 to it.
I heard that there will be layoffs in Polish offices - but not extensive.
Just an idea, but try looking for a gdpr specific email/contact form. Usually companies have a specific one for that purpose because they actually have to comply with them.

In case that leads nowhere, you should raise a complaint with you local data protection agency, for example https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/
Why do we get so much less delivered then today?
I'd say that both are true.
They're scared of the bad press that that one criminal that does announce their payment's purpose and later gets caught will bring "See, it even said in the note field that it's for Iran and they didn't catch it. Bank X is so incompetent"
You are most probably right, it's just the effect is the same unwanted de-facto monopoly on communications... so what's then there to do???
Our usage of coal has dropped 50% over the past 20 years. Natural gas has become popular because a natural gas plant is the easiest and cheapest plant in the world to build, is extremely efficient, does't produce emissions that are regulated so you don't have to care about, and, thanks to hydraulic fracking, is cheap. We joke that it's pennies per cubic mile. The stuff is super cheap.

If one were to regulate hydraulic fracking and/or regulate the emissions produced by these plants then there wouldn't have been the huge build-out of them. Utilities do what they're incentivized to do.
Just writing "[insert racial slur here]" still means you're a racist, and you want everyone to know.
The film quality looks to be somewhat improved, the copy I have is very grainy looking. I wonder what processing has been done.
Very nice, and well done team!

I've been using v5 in production since beta 20, and it has been working very reliable for us since then. The documentation for how to upgrade has been a great resource, and a great example of how to do breaking changes in a library as large as this one.
I don't think that I have any of the ads around any more. But please believe me when I say that they are extremely innocent, nerdy ads promoting my courses on Python and Pandas. Nothing weird or illegal in the slightest.
> I thought companies generally rip the bandaid off and do it all very quickly - and have a concrete plan before an announcement

In the US yes, and companies are free to ruin the lives of thousands of people overnight in most states thanks to at-will employment.

In Europe, where Nokia is based, companies have to actually follow laws. No firing of individuals without cause, mass layoffs outside of bankruptcy have minimum terms (in Germany, you have up to 7 months until your employment actually terminates), and usually employers have to broker deals with unions, worker representatives (Germany: Betriebsrat) and government / unemployment insurance schemes as well. As a result, there's no need to "rip bandaids off" - employees know that even if there's talks of layoffs going on, their lives won't be upended randomly.
How can LLMs understand and perform meta tasks? (e.g. summarization)
I don't ask how to make it summarize xy but if it is known how a "LLM" understands and performs this meta task at all.

The same is true for prompts like "Be brief" or "Explain in a few sentences". Since this works, the LLM must actually have an understanding of text length.
But then where would all the money to burn on VR product pipe-dreams come from? /s
As we improve the accuracy of automation and now the neural network, once laughed as a toy idea, does cough up something half decent, people ask "But who take a responsibility when things get wrong?" My answer is nobody.

These software giants never take a responsibility of wrongful automated result for decades but we keep using it.

Meta doesn't have an incentive to fix this case. It costs them manual labor of many manhours that outweigh the ad revenue from this person.

It probably keep this way.
Our team is currently debating whether we should adopt react-query or stick with plain old hand-written code around `fetch`. The team used Apollo in another project, so we are quite familiar with a "heavy handed wrapper" around backend requests. But I'm not sure the added complexity of react-query is "worth it".

Anyone have experiences to share, either using react-query, a different library or particularly painful memories _not_ using a comparable library?
I used KDEConnect daily, but across several devices and networks I've noticed that find file transfers regularly get interrupted and "fail". As is par for the course for networking errors on Linux systems, it's completely unclear what fails. But in the end I've found KDEConnect is only suitable for sending small files.

If you send 100+ photos it won't work consistently. Or if you try to send one big file it'll typically interrupt somewhere in the middle. It doesn't seem to have any internal mechanism to recover and restart file transfer
> Apart from that, we've renamed cacheTime to gcTime to better reflect what it is doing

Does it though? Maybe it's super obvious to more experienced users, but now I need to read the docs to find out what "gc" stands for. Not a big deal, just seems like an unnecessary abbreviation, so I'm curious as to what the reasoning is.
That makes sense, thanks. It seems I somehow forgot that databases other than Postgres exist.
Even when using certificates, the protocol puts the `alias` separately in the discovery message, so clients will have to try not to let that be spoofed.

(But they can still be spoofed in ways client can't detect, especially if humans verbally verify by alias).
There have been endless discussions about state management in React. React Query solved the most common and most annoying part of state management for me, which was everything that you fetched via the network. The part that remains is straightforward enough with the built-in useState/useReducer.

It does take a moment to learn React Query. You should make sure everyone understands how query keys work and uses them correctly. I saw some confusion there when we started using it, and one developer trying to work around stuff manually that React Query does automatically if you properly set up your query keys and invalidate them.
If you have to ask, you should not be doing this.
No quite. Amazon (including AWS), Google, Netflix, Snowflake. From my own personal experience.
What would be the alternative here? Meta bans people from selling live animals or bans them from selling programming courses?
Found the Atlassian employee :)
> Whether it still makes any sense in 2023 a different matter...

IMHO, it still makes sense in 2023. Suppose you want to ship & build your program on the latest Ubuntu, OpenWRT, 5 year old NetBSD or whatever SunOS user might be running in his basement. In that case, Autotools is your only bet without you having to run all those OSes to test if your programs build correctly. If you scan through GitHub, most projects support only the "latest" whatever because modern build systems aren't capable of anything else without significant workarounds. And you get that for free with a few autoconf & automake expressions.

They are not perfect, but the problem they are solving is nasty.
There's always an alternative. One can also live under the bridge as a measure of saving rent (obviously exaggerating), but it's not a choice most people would make. The reason why we work is so we can support the lifestyle we want, not the bare minimum to survive.
This is a hilarious and kinda obvious mistake to allow in your system (if you work with data for couple of month at least it is). But it is also very surprising, that this process is not being turned into a stream of profit and good pr. Like, allow paid human supervision....
Illicit Revenue Generation Efforts of DPRK Information Technology Workers
I guess similar to ollama (recently discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36802582) which also has support for code-focused models (see: https://ollama.ai/library).

I tried pretty much all of them with Continue in VSCode, and it's a bit hit and miss, but the main difference is the way the workflows work (Copilot is mostly line completion, Continue is mostly chat or patches). So the main value add here for me would be a more Copilot-like workflow (which seems to align better with the day-to-day experience I has so far).
But the thing (n810) had WiMAX? I don’t think the problem was text/voice.

The problem was that it had a resistive touch screen. Samsung already had touchscreen MP3 players that you can install apps on, but it was the capacitive touch at that price point that gave Apple a good 3+ year head start on software. At the time, being able to dial phone numbers with IPhone was mind blowing versus a resistive touch

That’s what was revolutionary about IPhone. They didn’t invent capacitive but they brought it to the $1k range.

Nokia was developing their own OS and App Store, too, but it was the iPhone’s cohesive experience that made everything else fit together
Well, it's not really free healthcare, at least not here in Finland. You're expected to spend at least an hour every day exercising with all the time we have off here to make sure you don't get super sick in the first place. In practice then we actually work 45 hours a week every week.
What about using Bluetooth? (Just simple peer-to-peer, or with a mesh layer.)
I am just using thunderbird to aggregate RSS
which is likely much better than making the wrong assumption because you know what "cache" means. Check the docs, cacheTime is very likely not doing what you expected.

A typical expectation would be that "cacheTime" controls how long react query uses the cached value before it tries to fetch that data again from the server. That part is actually controlled by "staleTime".
It should be legally required to state a clear broken rule and example.

Right now they do this to avoid legal issues but as a citizen, I want them to be legally responsible.
> Most developers are issued laptops, and a 64GB Macbook costs over $3000.

This is unfortunatley a nonsensical argument.

As a company, you are employing a developer to write code. Both the company and the developer are happy when they are at their most productive. And to that extent, a $3,000 laptop is a perfectly reasonable "tool of the trade". Also don't forget companies can lease laptops if they don't have the cash floating around.

Its the same thing in other sectors.

For example, in Finance. A Bloomberg terminal comes in at $30,000 a year. But if you are, for example, a bond trader putting in multiple 6,7 or 8 figure orders on the market every day, then its no secret that Bloomberg has the monopoly on bond data and as a bond trader you absolutely need access to one as the tool of your trade.

In addition, following COVID, most sensible companies have embraced WFH. And so what the company saves on office space they can spend on other things such as better laptops for developers.
N700 was underwhelming. N950 was a complete badass in all the ways it was not and in a bette world we would have a vibrant ecosystem on N950 successors. Sadly is was not to be.
of you do that seriously you'd incorporate the llc equivalent, which has its own reporting.

in Denmark, if you are a hobbyist (less than 50.000 DKK) then you report the aggregate income (b indkomst) and it is being added to your regular income.
Build your own BitTorrent
Yeah. My main problem with this is that the Copilot extension is proprietary (or at least it was – maybe that has changed?) and you can't install it on VSCodium, for example.
I would assert that giving Aboriginal peoples a voice in government is a "bare minimum decency" sort of thing, rather than some sort of abstract attack on "basic principles of liberal universalism".

You and loads of other people in Nokia. Including me. The N800 actually had a silly webcam and skype running on the device. And Google used it to dual boot early versions of Android on it. This was before they had the first nexus phone to work with.

The only thing it lacked (on purpose) was phone functionality. They were just stubbornly betting the company on Symbian and never committed properly to making a flagship Linux device. So every single maemo and meego device that they launched was encumbered with underpowered hardware, crippled features, or they would just position it as a developer phone and kill all the marketing. Because Symbian was "obviously" their future. There was a pretty big camp in Nokia who did not believe that though. And by the time the iphone and Android had launched the company was panicking and started doing increasingly more erratic things.

They came close a few times with the N8, the N900 and the N9. With the N8 they had a really nice device with aluminium body, oled screen, and 12 megapixel camera (mind you this was 12 years ago). But they chickened out and launched it with Symbian and it kind of was just another underwhelming not quite good enough Symbian device. The N900 was a developer phone and the first proper meego phone. I had one, it was great. But it was also under powered and seriously ugly.

The N9 did eventually launch but years late and with the message that they were shelving the whole meego team and betting the company on windows phone. They even managed to squeeze out an Android phone just before MS completed the acquisition (they promptly killed that). A year or so later, Microsoft bought the phone unit, and then fired the whole lot a year later as soon as they got rid of Steve Balmer.
I once wanted to make a small network of bots hosted at frriend's homes. These bots would talk each other by sending some Shakespeare's play excerpts where you would replace the names of the characters by names of various criminals. Just to see how long before I get caught :-)
