Yet at the same time Liberal thought is the reason we have made such an incredible break thought in AI technology with the LLM. Quite literally the hippy movement lead to the open source movement lead to the internet lead to the LLM. So we have this seeming conundrum between little l and big L liberalism...

... im struggling with the realization that Liberalism the big idea is probably an afforded luxury ideal of the rich, as well as a runaway self-re-enforcing flywheel of wealth/advancement. I benefit from it, but fewer and fewer are going forward, while the US is simultaneously winning harder and harder. This is a nightmarish equation!
Biomas growth in spring acts as a carbon sink, then as it dies in fall it releases the carbon back into the air.
> Simply put, there's no first-world country in the world where top talent can earn even close to a US salary, which largely due to the fact that US is relatively permissive towards large income disparities.

Why do you think it's A -> B and not B -> A? What factors of the US being permissive towards large income disparities do other nations lack that prevent them from paying equivalent salaries.

One specific thing I've heard which makes sense to me toward explaining the salary gap is the US tends to have at-will employment while other nations make it more difficult to fire people. I wouldn't personally classify as promoting income disparity though.
This is 12 year old rage bait from a trash tabloid clickfarm. Why are you even?
At $large-scale company this happens pretty regularly if you just look for expensive things and ask:

* "Can I just remove or slowly deprecate this?" I.e this job generates data no one uses, or alerts people just bin-bucket or has been already replaced by faster/ better.
* "Can I cache this?"
* "Can I run this at a lower-priority/off-peak/less available?"
* "Can I reduce the frequency or move processing to deltas?"

This is just the easy stuff you can usually do in a few lines of change without even getting into basic optimization rewrites. Most internal things at $large-co are built because someone thought they might be useful, they might get promoted and using that hypothesis and moved on, but few things are actually continuously validated as still generating value > their cost.
> was briefly addicted to anti-depressants

This is incredibly wrong and convenient. He was addicted to benzos—not anti-depressants. Benzos are anti-anxiety drugs but it is more helpful to think about them as"alcohol in a pill". Peterson is, in a sense, not distinct from an alcoholic.

I'm not one to shit on drug addicts, hell, pot-kettle. But Peterson rubs me the wrong way because of his audacity in acting as if he is above the "usual" drug addict and that he can cheaply sell you the keys in the form of clichéd advice and can sell you better shit if you privately pay him to consult with him when he has to go all the way to fucking Russia to recieve "adequate treatment".

I just can't even with this guy. Like, Im not gonna say he has zero helpful ideas but they are tainted with the nonsense that helps nobody but himself.

Edit: i would like to find out the length of the supposef addiction as well. I just hate when people lie about this shit or polish it up when such stories should be unvarnished and relatively congruent with that which is known objectively or publiy particularly in such a public facing individual.

Edit: he also has the perfect justification so its interesting if his accounts depart from a more objective one in a way that is palpable
Hah, yes. I will say that while I understand the general disdain here, as I grew more senior in my career I realized the world takes all types. There are "doers" who will rush to an end goal that's highly prioritized and then there's "optimizers" who come fix that mess up into a durable, cost-effective system. Some people are gifted enough in knowledge and have the right business priority to do both at the same time, but usually they're required at different times.

Anecdotally, optimization tasks (in this brain) are multitudes easier than innovation tasks. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to do things differently whereas optimization utilizes many lessons I've learned over and over again with well-trodden patterns. That's to say, I'm grateful for the doers :)

If you want to experiment with vector stores, you can do that locally with something like faiss which has good multiplatform support and sufficient tutorials: https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss

Doing full retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and getting LLMs to interpret the results has more steps but you get a lot of flexibility, and despite what AI influencers say there's no standard best-practice. When you query a vector DB you get the most similar texts back (or an index integer in the case of faiss), you then feed those result to an LLM like a normal prompt, which can be optimized with prompt engineering.

The codifer for the RAG workflow is LangChain, but their demo is substantially more complex and harder-to-use than even a homegrown implementation: https://minimaxir.com/2023/07/langchain-problem/
Which is pretty much what the proposed regulations on AI will do as well whist destroying small company innovation and treating consumer AI like software and media piracy.

The values below 150 have little value since we have always had CO2 except for maybe when earth was created. Look at the 800k view to get a better perspective.

That said I do feel like when people do that it is not a great practice.
> You can't really beat Intel and AMD unless you're at least as good as supporting the hardware

Worth a read:

Amazon is the most successful manufacturer of Arm server chips, accounting for just over half of Arm-based server CPUs currently deployed, while some chipmakers are also now betting on Arm-based Windows PCs.

This information comes from a report issued by Bernstein Research which estimates that nearly 10 percent of servers across the world contain Arm processors, and 40 percent of those are located in China, as we reported earlier.

But that total is beaten by just one company – Amazon – which has slightly above 50 percent of all Arm server CPUs in the world deployed in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) datacenters, said the analyst.

https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/08/amazon_arm_servers/
And what does that have to do with how the company is financed? Public GAAP disclosures have absolutely nothing to do with whether the company is harming people or following applicable laws for their industry.
Can you point to a comment on HN saying microservices are never justified?
You don't give enough credit to organization chart and project driven engineering.

When developing anything:

1) you don't get to touch anyone else's code. And another department's code? Something another manager's team manages ... that amounts to treason. Never for any reason. MAYBE if they've totally abandoned it and you absolutely need it (but only during unpaid overtime)

2) you don't get to spend ANY time on anything outside of the current project or JIRA ticket. Any time at all. So really, NOT optimizing anything is faster and cheaper. Just look at all the spreadsheets made!
Yes and no. Access to warez dumps is more interesting part.
What does this have to do with the USAjobs portal that this thread is about?
I'd say you'll feel miserable and will wonder what is it you are missing from the old days. We look at it with rose tinted glasses, but for all practical purposes, everything was significantly worse back then. The kind of hardware and software we have available today was the stuff of the wildest dreams and imagination.

I remember we could spend entire weeks in 4 player Doom 2 deathmatch during summer with my friends. We could spend an entire day just playing made-up scenarios where we tried to kite cyberdemons from one part of the map into another (an exercise which we called demon shepherding).

I fired up Doom 2 again on one of the many ports and it looks great, all the nice memories came flooding back, and yet it wasn't the same. It made me realize that the magic wasn't in the games, or the computers or the people. The magic was in us being a bunch of kids born into infinite curiosity and no (real) responsibilities. That magic unfortunately cannot be recreated in adult life.

Now if you spend an all-nighter on any hobby, your 30+ year old body will wake up feeling rubbish the next day. Do it 2-3 days in a row, and you'll feel like death.

I can afford any piece of hardware and any game my heart desires, my steam library numbers more than 200 games. I have played less than half of them, and less than a quarter to completion. It's the age old curse of aging :)

Yes, but it requires support to WebHelices which is on the experimentation phases. There is a shim using WebWings 5.0 but it only works on Chrome Canary, because foxes have legs instead.

Striking is a lot more legal than sabotage and makes the employer a lot more likely to want to negotiate.
That's called holding out for even more money.
There's also evidence that the brain does optimize through time and might be implementing, at least in some places, algorithms close to LSTD.
It's still misleading. a naive glance would make someone think co2 levels had risen to 800% of original value, when it's only 150% of original (which is obviously still terrifying)
This isn't even the first time this has happened. Remember when they renamed Libra? I think they just assume it doesn't matter, and if it does, the settlement will be a blip. It doesn't always work out that way for them.
For desktop Linux, Qualcomm and the community are upstreaming drivers so you should be able to upgrade the kernel.
I'm a fan of the hardkernel.com N2+ computer with eMMC storage. I've only used them for non-desktop work (DNS, DHCP, etc). They're a couple of years old now and it looks like they may have better performing SoCs. They also have x86-64 PCs w/ Intel UHD gfx in the same form factor but the cost is much higher, along with sourcing your own SODIMMs. For a PC, I would jump for the x86-64 system vs. Arm SoCs. There is much less friction with x86 overall.
Even better it seems to spike in May almost every year. I didn't see if it mentioned where these measurements were taken but typically July/August are the hottest months so if it was AC, we should see the spike in those two months, no?
it starts 1958 because it changes the source [1]. Before 1958 law dome & ice cores. After 1958 air measurements at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii.

What's your point? Regular people's retirement funds aren't invested in the Dow. They mostly use target date funds.
One argument is that we simply replaced the archaic (religion-focused) dogma with a modern (consumerist, individualist, hyperpoliticized) one, but their function is the same, to serve as complex death denial rituals.

Most of the world lives in concrete buildings.

There's a problem of where to put the infrastructure. If you lay pipes inside concrete, they're really hard to maintain. So, often plumbing, electrical, and HVAC just punch through the walls to outside equipment, plumbing, and conduit. Look at small low-cost housing in Asia. Mini-split air conditioners and pipes all over the exterior.
An alternative idea to the regulatory moat thesis is that it serves Big Tech’s interests to have people think it is dangerous because then surely it must also be incredibly valuable (and hence lead to high Big Tech valuations).

I think it was Cory Doctorow who first pointed this out.
I don't get your argument. In this perspective, the union has the same problem that you accuse the company of having, but worse, because an autoworker has competition vying for his labor. GM, Ford, Stellantis, John Deere, Caterpillar, and all the other machinery manufacturers compete for his labor. But the union has no competition. In fact it's specifically exempt from anti-trust legislation.
Last time I checked there was no installable C++ plugin.
Why add a section on immigration?

The stuff on the page is already known. They just add it to cross off a checkbox of what they wanted to signal. And its just a generic description of the visas and nothing localized to th visa type and ai.

And for the other commenters calling me "right wing', my views are pretty much '04 Obama. It's just telling how far off the rails we have gone.
CO2 mixes globally relatively quickly. CO2 concentration is not very regional. You could take that measurement anywhere on earth and be within 20 ppm.
Thank you both for a great thread.
Possibly, but it wouldn't really make sense to offer it at a lower price considering their current monthly ARPU in Europe is ~$6-$7.

If they offered a lower price subscription and a lot of people jumped onto it it would be disastrous for the business.
But this reminded me of another thing once popping up in my feed: my own private pictures.

I first got a bit shocked. Did I accidentally post these to Facebook?? But no, it was just a suggestion from Facebook, "share these photos". But I was on the bus, I didn't expect these photos to suddenly be on my screen for those around me to see (pictures of a medical condition). And it creeped me out that Facebook was looking through my phone's gallery when I'm not explicitly doing it to upload an image.

I ended up blocking file access for Facebook. Which now makes it impossible for me to post pictures. Which in turn of course means I barely post anymore. Great thinking, PMs.

In order to become a stock holder or launch a company, you need to have capital. Capital is hard to acquire when wages are being actively suppressed by a cabal of employers. It is also hard to hold on to capital when your health care system is intentionally designed to strip away generational wealth from workers. Then to add a cherry on top, you lock the higher wage jobs behind an additional investment that can only be funded by non-dischargeable loans. Then you have the rent seekers, both literal and figurative. Landlords, insurance companies, toll roads, etc...
I remember the sometimes less than subtle jabs these groups threw at each other in the nfo files :)
That could just mean that they felt they could get more money if they held out and didn't take the first (or fourth) offer.

Totally their right, too, if they're the legal trademark holder.

I tried to sign up for Instagram and got banned within minutes of signing up and couldn’t get signed up. Eventually since I came to ‘need’ it as my social circle have moved on from Twitter I bought an account on the grey market. The main ads I got were for forged EU identification documents.

It really shows where Meta spend their money. This is probably an excellent ad for someone in a position where they want to make money by creating and selling Instagram accounts. This is also a very easy genre of ad to spot for a company on the bleeding edge of NLP. The advertisers don’t even use euphemisms, their feed is just pictures of dozens of passports and visas. It’s still up weeks later.

I’m obviously used to online platforms being careless about who they run ads for, but official ads brazenly selling identity documents was certainly a new one!

I agree with Chomsky's definition [1]: intellectual is a person who tries to talk intelligently in public about affairs that are relevant to the general public. Being a top scentist or a top sellng author does not neccessarily make you an intellectual.

It just might be his age. In the 90s "X" was super cool in the culture that people his age may have been into. In particular comic books. X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force, Gen-X, etc... No clue though.
AI can be dangerous, but that's not what is pushing these laws, it's regulatory capture. OpenAI was supposed to release their models a long time ago, instead they are just charging for access. Since actually open models are catching up they want to stop it.

If the biggest companies in AI are making the rules, we might as well not rules at all.
Just imagine if someone named their company after a fruit or a color or some similarly common noun!
Thanks for asking, so for (a) it doesn’t lock into some specific platform, it just generates code that you’ll own completely. And because it generates full fledged backend service it should be more scalable and flexible.

For (b) Mify uses terraform for cloud infra, we don’t want to reinvent it. We just saving time on writing and gluing it by yourself.

I can run every test on my machine if I want. It would be a manual effort, but wouldn't be hard to automate if I cared to try. However it would take about 5 days to finish. It isn't worth it when such tests rarely fail - the CI system just spin them off to many AWS nodes and if something fails then run just that test locally and I get results in a few hours (some of the tests are end to end integration that need more than half an hour).

Like any good test system I have a large suite of "unit" tests that run quick that I run locally before committing code - it takes a few minutes to get high code coverage if you care about that metric. Even then I just run the tests for x86-64, if they fail on arm that is something for my CI system to figure out for me.
I still don’t see any data for the case you state being proffered — just the ability (from your link) for union shops to charge dues to non union members who are getting the benefits of union negotiated pay & benefits. Barring any actual proof of this “forcing” happening in inclined to believe this is just exaggeration.
I was going to say I'd pay $1 a month for both but my use of social media services really doesn't warrant spending money on them, and since I started reporting all of their ads as scams I see to get less adverts anyway.

Yeah, don't feel bad for the small company with a trademark, when the big bully did exactly the same thing?
I think the misleading aspect in this case is that when looking at the 800k view, it seems that CO2 levels have doubled (or more) compared to previous peaks, whereas it's actually a ~30% increase. It's still a very significant increase, and should be shown accurately.
The problem is that you can never really destroy and recreate everything. At the very least you want to preserve your user data but you probably also don't want to regularly go offline. IIRC Google used to have a dependency on starting up a new datacenter where it needed a DNS request to have some core services find each other and start up. This could be served by any other Google datacenter. But if all datacenters went offline at the same time it wouldn't be able to start. So just destroying and recreating full datacenters won't find this. You literally would have to take all of Google offline at the same time to find this by testing.
Seriously!! ;) The systematic monitoring of carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere began in the 1950s. The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, established in 1958, has been continuously monitoring atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. So anything before that, I'd take with a grain of salt and maybe extra some cayenne pepper.
Threads is pretty dang generic. Facebook also renamed itself to Meta and Google to Alphabet. There seems to be a competition among tech billionaires to try to come up with the blandest brand names possible.
An X Elite board would probably be $500 though.
Whenever someone on the projects, I’m attached to tries to create a new service, first I asked them what data it works with, and then I ask them what the alternative to making this a service would be. Usually, by the time we start answering the second question, they realize that, actually, adding the service is just more work.

To me, what’s amazing is that in almost no organization is there a requirement to justify technically the addition of a new service, despite the cost and administrative and cognitive overhead of doing so.

The consistent header and footer pattern got me thinking about why blogs replaced personal web sites. The ability of blog software like WordPress to do that automatically was a big part of it.

If you design a personal site with HTML and then decide to make a change to your site's template, you have to make changes to every single page of your site. You could mitigate this with frames (a common pattern being to have frames for the header, footer and sidebar) but this had usability issues because every page of the site would have the same URL in the browser bar and users could open the content frame without the navigation. That's why frames went out of style by the early 00s.

Blog software solved the problem but at the cost of the new problem of content being hard to discover because new content shows up first and older content eventually gets buried. Then social media made it worse as it evolved from chronological like a blog to an algorithm designed to maximize engagement or push the platform's agenda. For most content, a personal web site is optimal but there isn't really any popular software to facilitate this, as far as I'm aware, especially not software that makes it as easy to publish new content as it would be if you just used WordPress. This means the modern non-corporate internet is full of WordPress blogs not personal web sites.
