HN also underestimates the level of pettiness in the non-people-persons who became managers in tech. I was recently down voted for commenting that the typical tech manager does not want their engineers to have communication skills such that they can push back on unreasonable demands. My experience has been that is absolutely true; sure, they will say they want quality communications, but only as long as those communications are in agreement with whatever that manager and management want. Try telling them the truth that the overall architecture is bad, or there are these fundamental negative issues that were never addressed and are now consuming larger and larger resources to continue to "ignore"...

Actually being a material operator in a company that makes a difference is exactly what many, the majority, of middle managers simply can't handle. It scares them. It is too large, too aggressive, and demands too much upper level communications they can't handle. Not rocking the boat is the only game most managers know how to play, as the management above them appears simply untouchable to them.

Bloggers have broken news well in advance of large news outlets, partially because of the ability to publish online rapidly, without knowing HTML or administering a web server.

But it's mostly been used to pollute the internet with useless spam. With generative AI, the same thing will happen. The very example shown here is an Angry Birds clone, patient zero of the pay-to-win hellscape of mobile games. I don't think it's an accident that they had AI in their hands and decided to build that.
Yes, I think part of the problem is we view social skills, charisma, etc. as givens, or even as virtues.

We forget that these things actually take a lot of brain function, it's an ability. It's something we do effortlessly, but there's actually a lot going on.

For example, struggles of people with ADHD and ASD can be hard to understand because many things that we take for granted are harder and more nuanced than people realize.
If that is a concern, then it sounds like running mirrored disks isn't sufficient for your use case and maybe require three disks to enable a disk failure and a rebuild to not cause an issue.

Also, if you're happy running off a single disk in a faulted mirror, then I'd question why you've got the mirror setup at all.
my bad for not elaborating.

we have always been dependant on whistleblowers and ethical hackers and now, for just a few years, we are at the tipping point where they are the last line of defence. Corruption has almost irreversibly disabled the playing field on which the civil society can act as a red team to corporate visions and strategies.

Something else is always in attempt and laws are an absolute must but whether either of the many measures work, lies in the hands of whistleblowers and hackers.
Good management and leadership is also hard to quantify because it's a bidirectional relationship. The best manager in the world is going to struggle with a direct report who doesn't want to play ball, but will do a fantastic job with those who nurture the relationship or are trying to find their feet in their career. A poor manager isn't going to succeed with either of those people.

I find the author's dry sense of humour quite amusing, and I feel for them because I've been there. Most of us have been there I expect. I would say that feeding this mindset is likely to lead to burnout in the long term.

A lot of these issues are as inevitable as they are utterly confounding and at some point in your career I think you need to find that sweet spot where you can do your best work without having to push back too hard against the organisation. If you can manage to find that peace of mind then you're golden, and if you're lucky you can stay in a positive mindset or at least delay the onset of Jaded Greybeard Syndrome.

But it is not straightforwardly illegal (according to Microsoft et al) to decompile source code, train an LLM on it, generate the source code, recompile it, and then distribute the recompiled binary.

I’m always blown away by people who can reverse engineer dies.

I’m curious can heat be used to detect interesting parts of a die? Ie decap then re-run target functionality and see what’s heating up?
I suppose the difference is money. Open source needn’t be free of its involvement, but it often is. Add money to open source and you get either a functional org, but with the usual overhead, or dysfunction and corruption.
This the type of comment that reinforces not even trying to learn or outsource security.

You’ll never know enough.
The only reason people might hate it is because it has no proof or defense of the argument. Its a narrative that would require so many steps that its hard to imagine being true.

How about a simpler reason. During the mortgage crisis/recession the fed rate dropped to historical lows. Cheap money is good for startups. The economy was doing well for a decade and towards the end of that decade rates started to creep up and we got hit by a black swan, a pandemic. Rates crashed again + stimulus money and incredibly strong consumer spending and we now have high inflation. The rates go back up and its less attractive for startups/tech companies.

I’m not David but in the same situation before and there are from my experience two important parts: 1) having a good relationship and 2) setting clear boundaries. It’s not a given that it will work out but good faith negotiations are an important start.

It will be close to impossible in a mega corp with strict rules. For instance doing this at Apple is from what I have heard effectively impossible. On the other hand I know folks who left to a smaller startup and they took that job under the precondition that they can bootstrap their side hustle alongside.
Yeah, all of OpenAI's stuff gets better much quicker than I'm used to. So does the general performance ceiling of all open source models, even if individual models don't improve as much.
Well of course. If they sell you a specific product and then don't deliver, then there wasn't money on the table, that's just lying.
Profit has always mattered. The only change in attitude was because of historically low rates, it was easier to get more funding. Cheap rates = cheap money, investors are more willing to part ways.

In the vibrant world of digital marketing, I still vividly remember an experience that underscored the absolute necessity of selecting the right SEO expert. We were at the crossroads of a significant business decision, and the direction we took was immensely influenced by our SEO insights. This experience solidified one fact: the evolving landscape of SEO is undeniable in its importance to modern businesses.
Alternatively, you could say that Sifive just wants to retain their investment into cores with the C extension. Or that Krste is so wedded to the idea of "RISC purity + C + fusion" as an alternative to more complex instructions that he invents justifications for it.

In reality, it seems logical to me that all the players here have an interest in the long term health of RISC-V, including applicability to higher end cores. Qualcomm is showing data supporting their position. And Sifive is showing data supporting their position. Will be interesting to see which wins, and whoever it will be it'll hopefully be the best for the long term health of RISC-V even if it means one of the parties needs to partially redesign their cores.
I understand, and definitely love reading a lot, so it's not an easy realization for me either. But when I reflect on books I've read and find myself unable to recall most of the information inside, it does make me pause and reflect.
For nine months between October 2016 and July 2017, the Iraqi military, with direct support from the United States and NATO allies, fought a bloody battle to liberate the city of Mosul from ISIS. This battle caused thousands to tens of thousands of civilian casualties, many of which were inflicted by Western airstrikes and Iraqi artillery. Concurrently, between November 2016 and October 2017, Kurdish forces in Syria, alongside foreign volunteers and with Western support, fought an offensive in the Raqqa Governate of Syria to remove ISIS and capture their capital city of Raqqa. Thousands more were killed there.

All told, the process of eliminating ISIS’ control over vast swaths of Iraq and Syria led to many thousands of civilian casualties. And yet, everyone seems to agree that between that outcome and the possibility of allowing ISIS to persist, this was the preferable choice between two very bad outcomes. It was a goal that, although briefly and inconsistently, was shared by the US and Russia, all sides of the Syrian Civil War, Turkey, and even Iran.

Just like ISIS, allowing Hamas to persist is no longer a viable possibility. People call for a cease fire, but the last cease fire was broken by Hamas when they committed the bloodiest attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust—itself an atrocity that was only ended through a war that entailed the deaths of probably millions of German civilians at the hands of the Allies.

Innocent people in Gaza do exist. They exist as hostages of Hamas. I don’t mean just the hundreds of hostages they captured on October 7th; I mean that Hamas is holding the entire population of the Gaza Strip hostage. They build underground tunnels to protect their fighters and their weapons, but nothing to protect civilians. Instead they place refugees on top of their underground command centers and weapons caches. Even when they fire their terror rockets into Israel, many of them never make it past the borders of Gaza. And when this happens, they lie, they accuse Israel of committing attacks on the innocent people of Gaza that actually happened at the hands of Hamas and their allies, and they completely fabricate numbers. Any of the numbers you see reported and attributed to a “health ministry” in Gaza are Hamas fabrications; Western media is strangely gullible about this sort of thing for reasons I can’t explain. And so claims about “the destruction of thousands of children” are little more than Hamas propaganda.

Israel has held back their offensives for weeks, provided directed warnings to Gaza residents (at the expense of tipping off Hamas when and where they would strike), and given several days’ warning for Gaza residents to evacuate south of the Wadi Gaza. In response, Hamas blocked the roads and bombed Palestinian refugees traveling towards this safe zone.

The only path to a peaceful future for the people of Gaza and Israel is the elimination of Hamas, just as ISIS had to be eliminated. It is a horrible situation, but it is Hamas who has made it this way and that is why Hamas needs to be destroyed. Just because they have better PR than ISIS did doesn’t change the situation on the ground.

Mlock is an optional parameter:

That kind of benchmark is a lot more reliable for models published before the benchmarks; models published afterwards have more opportunity to "study to the test". That's especially a concern when a company explicitly uses its score on that benchmark as a marketing point.

> Why is there a separate 60 Hz mode that requires blanking the display?

I'm guessing it probably has to do with compliance with the original VESA standard, or whatever the completely basic support of multiple resolutions and refresh rates in all monitors is called.

The bootstrap of booting a system always ends up relying on the most basic supported things to start with (such as 640x480@60Hz using the VESA standard) and then upping it from there.

You probably even could analyze screen sizes by doing the same thing but with CSS media queries.
I'm curious where you picked up the insight about gratitude. It reminds me a lot of insights found in stoicism, which I've long enjoyed reading about.

But recently I have been perusing "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", and finding that a huge amount of it also strikes me as being just mass-market stoicism.

So it has made me curious whether it's a direct influence, or whether it's just a case of multiple people or philosophies coming to basically the same conclusions independently.

So I'm curious whether your philosophy of grateful contentment for what you have comes via a direct influence, or was arrived at independently.

In any case, it's an excellent practice, but one I nonetheless often have trouble executing myself :)

Humans are bad at estimation and there's no evidence that "having a conversation" will make them any better at it.

Your organization should acknowledge and handle the fallibility of humans, not try vainly to excise it.
> I am starting to think that's preferable to the current mode of "anything goes, you can be whatever you feel like and there's no judgement of any of your actions"

Can you provide any specific examples?

What I see is that in a modern secular society there is plenty of judgement against anti-social behavior. I.e. people are largely allowed to do as they please as long as it doesn't cause direct harm to others. Our laws largely reflect that.

An example would be our societies' increasing tolerance for homosexuality. It harms nobody, and yet it experienced massive stigma for centuries, at least in areas where the majority followed Abrahamic religiona.

Moogle: Find Theorems, Faster
I don't think there is any advice as such to be taken from these sort of articles, but that is balanced by the fact that most people operate without any particular regard for the eventual certainty of death and if they reflect on it maybe they'll do something differently. Strategies and goals that make sense when rolled out to infinity do not always do so well over 100 years. Seeing what people value on their deathbed can be a source of inspiration for what did and didn't seem to work.

Although, in my view, there is no reason to perceive a dying person as having special insight. If insight matters it can be achieved at any age. Literally the best strategy I've seen in the face of death is just to relax, go with it and try not to get too attached to life. And that mindset offers no guidance at all on what is good to do with the time we have.
> As a result, a lot of tech leads are engineer->management conversions who just haven't made the leap yet.

And thats how it should be - folks with a technical background doing the management of technical people and work. How can you even manage that which you dont understand? Ticking boxes and measuring output is not management, that can be delegated to a script and graph charts. To manage the delivery of a technical project you need to understand the technology behind it - in an equal amount to how well you understand communicating with business stakeholders and balancing business and tech needs. And no, taking a udemy course in programming python doesnt mean you have tech experience, equally taking a udemy course in agile doesnt make you a manager.
methinks you're the self-victim of some confirmation bias here, sir.

It can also circumvent in-house infrastructure teams - who I used to find were a far bigger challenge than purchasing.

Just my N=1 anectdote, but I’ve been having almost universally great experiences until maybe 2 or 3 months ago.

On the software side, I tend to tolerate more security risk (within reason) to delay updates until a consensus emerges that they’re robust, because I’m not a high value target to anyone north of “script kiddy” and run a tight ship on the easy stuff, so the EV of an abruptly unusable work machine vs. getting pwned weighs heavily relative to winding up in the crosshairs of anyone sophisticated enough to exploit a recent CVE. My online banking is properly 2-fac’d, if anyone wants to read my browser history or email and cares enough to go ti that trouble, I’ll want them that I’m not important enough for it to be worth the trouble.

This would clearly change if my work went back to having demanding security requirements, but it doesn’t just now.

It’s really the customer service, fulfillment, Apple Store experience (it used to feel like stepping into the least stressful room in the mall and now it’s a zoo).

Humans perceive some things logarithmically.

For example our hearing range is 20-20000 Hz, yet we can perceive a 20 Hz sound as different from a 40 Hz one, the difference between them being 20 Hz which is 0.1% of our hearing range.
