I was once made fun of (in a kind of humiliating way, now that I recall) by a bunch of HPC scientists in a room at KAUST for saying that C++ had support for GC.

They were like "if you knew the least bit a about C++, you'd knew it doesn't have a GC".

I was like, "yeah cool, but C++ does have some GC functionality", but they just shut me down. My background is Biology so there were a few remarks about how "a biologist just doesn't know these things, lol".

This was around 2019, btw. And sure, I'm a biologist, but I also happen to have spent 8-10 hours/week for the past 20 years coding because I just really like it; so, there's my 10k hours, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I wonder if hotel chains could pivot into this space? A simple mechanism to stow (and lock) the bed upright, with a desk conversion. They could rent the room during the day as an office, then flip it down at night as a hotel room. Since many hotel guests check out early AM, and in many locations hotels are dead during the week, it could be a nice complement.
The cap is still 80 hours/week. I'm not sure about the consecutive hour limit. It's at least 24 hours. That doesn't stop the residents I know from frequently having duty hour violations. In one case I know a resident had his hours manipulated by admin to under report them.
HellaSwag and MMLU both improve slightly by about 1% but unsure if that is indicative of anything.
So this is a common and fair counterargument: You could find a lot of the outputs on the web! Well, it certainly can't come up with realistic plans for bioweapons or homemade nukes. But:

1. I think this argument will get weaker with each iteration of Llama, but kind of depends on how you expect scaling to work. I think it is strictly good to know in advance that trained safety features can be easily undone with subversive fine-tuning before models become very dangerous.

2. Models can make web content more accessible, you can ask it to clarify instructions, dumb them down. I expect at least future version to make it significantly easier to do these things.

3. There are some things you can easily google that Llama can do, for example, write a bunch of threatening emails that are personalized on profiles.
What I actually said is that the more parents can take responsibility teaching their children, the more it frees up teachers to teach those kids who need more help. No judgment on anyone's economic status.

Turning every response into a gotcha isn't incisive, there are plenty of other forums better suited than Hacker News if arguing and strawmanning is your thing. Chill out.
> but I think one's ability to be productive in a language is highly correlated with how much of the language (and project domain) they can "keep in their head" at a time.

I disagree. I'd say productivity has very little to do with language familiarity and way more to do with ecosystem familiarity. C++ is hard because the ecosystem has no real entry point and several "script language to write a script language to write a compilation definition to write a script language to compile a project" build systems. (Who's familiar with M4?)
You should revisit the book in a few years. Tao can't be explained. It's something that should be experienced first-hand. Chapter 1 says:

The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.

There are several ways to experience it even if it's transitory: Being in nature, Deep meditation, Flow states during any activity, sensory enhancement/depravation (e.g. float tank), Psychoactive substances (last option) etc.
Career and compensation discussions would be had with what the 12 Principles refers to as the "business people". In a traditional organization structure the manager would act as a liaison between the business people and the development team, but it is suggested that the developers should talk to the business people directly (and daily!).

Too many people take this as dogma and just don’t learn the efficient way to do things. I’ve lost count of the number of FE devs that interview in my company’s DS&A section and tell me bubble sort is the best we can do. I don’t need a derivation off the top of your head, just know a couple and tell me a good choice for the problem and I’m good… same thing here. If people live the “don’t prematurely optimize” to the point that they don’t even know the efficient ways to do things, how will they know where it’s important.

Banana For Scale | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Founding Engineer

Seeking a developer with Three.js/WebGL experience to help build a new project from the ground up. Bonus points if you have played around with Gaussian splatting or other radiance field techniques, have experience in C/C++ or computer vision.

Banana For Scale (working title) allows anyone to record any space, then edit it in 3D. Think Matterport + Polycam for interactive space design.

I am currently looking for my first hire, initially as a paid contractor so that we can both test out working together. Ideally this would move to a much larger full-time role as part of the founding team. You don't have to be experienced or interested in management, but you should be comfortable with self-directed work.

I previously founded Hunter2 (YC18), scaled to $1M ARR in < 2 years with a team of three before acquisition. I would like to stay deeply involved in the tech development for this project, but someone with the right experience and 100% focus on coding could speed up our efforts 20x.

It's absolutely wasteful.

The disadvantage of the opposite is that if everything is nationalised into one giant org, it could become too big and become an unmanageable and slow monolith (which is why it was decentralised back in the 90s).
Building housing can address the housing-prices problem, but the homeless problem is actually a drug problem, which is actually a mental health problem, which is actually a deep social problem.

As far as I can tell, the initial paper proposal is https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n23..., proposed for C++0x.

The subsequent history appears to be this:

* The "Kona compromise" of 2007, where a few features were stripped down to try to be able to get a new version of C++ shipped by the end of 2008 (which turned out to slip to 2011 anyways). This meant that GC went from a full-bore proposal to a barebones proposal.

* https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n24... is the first proposal of barebones GC support. As you can see, it's stripped down a lot from the original GC proposal. What remains is largely "it's UB to have a pointer not be visible as a pointer address, except if you use new library functionality to declare your pointer shenanigans."

* https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n26... is the final variant that was voted in for the June 2008 meeting (see https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n26...) with no opposition (although some abstention).

* https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/p21... proposes, in 2020, to remove the features added by N2670 on the basis of no real implementation or real-world support. The discussion in EWG indicates favor for removal (only one person objected), while LEWG indicates even stronger favor (nobody objects).

I'm a software developer and engineer that likes to work on high-performance backend systems. I enjoy functional programming (especially in Clojure and using fp-ts in TypeScript) but aim to be a practical functional programmer. I have an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and scientific research experience as a computational chemist as well as an MS in Computer Science.
I loved choose your own adventure type books as a kid. I'm not sure if the format works as well digitally though. Part of the intrigue was jumping around to parts of the book.

Completely agree. While there's nothing wrong with digital payments, a society without cash just terrifies me. I don't have much to hide, but I don't want every action I take with money to be traceable and that data of what I do with my money to be available to all sorts of private interests without my express written consent. No corporation should get to know if I tip my barber, waiter, uber driver, etc... in cash let alone if I decide to buy a bag of weed.

I prefer to keep a bit of cash on me for many reasons, and I don't think it's appropriate for any organization to tell me 1. that I can't; and/or 2. that they have the right to know what I'm using it for (or that they have the ability to deny my ability to use my capital in whatever ways I desire).

We're not China. As someone who worked with Chinese nationals, even some of them who were complete simps for The Party had no desire to have all their finances completely digitized and tracked.

Modern economies have a need for cash, no matter what big banks or credit card companies or FinTech companies think.
It's a weak theory, considering how the first M1 devices used the same thermal solutions as their Intel predecessors. The M1 Air even removed the fan from the existing design that already had a fan when it was powered by Intel.

The only reason the thermal solutions were indefensibly bad was because Intel's roadmap had nowhere to go but to add more watts and heat. The 2016 MacBook Pro 15" had a perfectly adequate thermal solution for its hardware. Still, in a few short years, Intel's newer processors pushed the design to its thermal limits when they should have been delivering more performance within the same heat and power constraints. Apple had to relent and make the product thicker and add more wattage for the 16" MacBook Pro (Intel).

It's not like Apple massively upgraded the M1 thermal solution and took a victory lap on an artificially unfair playing field. Apple dropped their chips into the same or worse thermal designs and still outperformed Intel. On some benchmarks, the 2020 M1 MacBook Air with no fan beats the 96W 2019 Intel 16" MacBook Pro. [1] For Intel, it was downright embarrassing.

We can't blame Apple for designing an inadequate thermal solution for the 2016-2019 MacBook Pro 15" when it was Intel's own product line that couldn't deliver improved performance without consuming more watts.

Computers are supposed to get smaller and faster over time, not bigger and hotter.

>in this piece I’ll lay out 10 talking points that you can use to make even the most ardent card-tapper have second thoughts about a totally bank-dominated society.

The writer is starting with the wrong premise: that people who prefer a cashless system don't understand these things. They do. They just don't care enough to do much about it.

It's not about a lack of understanding, it's about convenience. A cashless system tends to be more convenient, and that's why people like it.
Those nags can be moderated or turned off by about:config flags or policy.json lines, I forget which at the moment. They used to drive me insane as well.
I can see this as an attitude to stay the course using/leaning it. But not as an end game; “you’ll never get it, don’t even try!” tThe idea that you as a team might develop a large piece of software, but have an unknown feel for how much more there is that is unknown, is scary to me.

And a bit ironic. I lived through the static compile type/dynamic late type wars. There was this argument that with C++ (and similar) you knew and had some compiler ratified certitude you could count on. But if you’re telling me that a junior/intermediate dev can write code, perhaps making head scratching design concessions to get the thing to compile, he might make code that appears to run in the common case, but has unexpected behavior in other as of yet demonstrated areas, because they can never hope to have enough knowledge of the language to build a semi accurate model to know what to expect, then we’re really no better off than those late bound interpreted hippies with their weird metaprogramming VMs.
I agree, it's what I thought when I read it.

I take that as a bad sign personally... makes me wonder how long it will be before "Oh no, we couldn't possibly use those!" becomes "Well, we have no other choice..." when it comes to the question of deploying tactical nukes.
Depends the environment you're working in - there are several cultures within the US where I think your statement is quite true... but in general people find that working for a company that doesn't care for them is a detriment and will demand higher compensation due to the obvious risk. That all said - you should always be defensive as an employee about how much risk you accept on yourself since the employer/employee relationship can be terminated suddenly and without any real recourse in most circumstances.

A couple of comments here are touching on the fact that being a doctor is hard in terms of that the profession is very difficult (IQ-wise), competitive and challenging.

I tend to disagree. There is a very strong halo effect which I just kind of ‘hate’. Let me explain.

Here in the Netherlands we have a numerus fixus (about 500 spots each year on each university). Getting in is part luck and part skill. The skill required is to show eagerness and motivation in an interview with a commitee. That’s the hard part.

Once in, you are very unlikely to drop out. The drop out rates are extremely low compared to other studies. The education is very long and intense: this is very needed, you need to be highly trained.

If you compare the academic level to other studies, it’s quite moderate. Basically, it’s a very pratical education with a lot of “hands on” in 6-8 years (and more if you specialize). For the dutch: people jokingly say that we need to rebrand the education to HBO-G.

I have a friend who started out in Economics, finished the study with a degree with honours and decided to follow his dream to become a doctor. He said: the education was so easy compared to economics, it was a total joke. Mind you: the level of education for doctor is very good in the NL compared to othet countries.

Now, in the NL we have a quite good health care system and still the doctors make an extremely good living. I have friends who are 40- and live in an 1 million+ house, drive a porsche and do luxury vacations three times a year.

And I think it’s fine: you are highly trained, you work shit and long hours and have an very very big responsibility.

But is it a difficult and challenging job? I disagree, you are a highly trained production employee doing 95% on experience because you did this a 1000+ times before.

The elephant in the room is, with the rising care costs here in NL, is this still viable? Earning high 6 figures while the system is under pressure? Also: why is the gap between doctors and nurses so big? Is that fair?

(Sorry for my rant :-))
Enlightenment comes from understanding that they are all the same rule.
Well, there is technically no such thing as an "actual Linux system." There are mainly GNU/Linux systems. If one is using the word "Linux" from a high-level systems theoretical perspective, the they are speaking about a certain philosophy related to how they approach the question of performing general computations. So, it is from the "Unix philosophical" point of view that I use the word "Linux." This also seems to be the generally accepted way of using that word, because most people use it as a shorthand for something with much more cultural significance (i.e. the open source alternative to the Windows or Mac ecosystems) than the kinds of technical facts to which you are referring.
