If all the Jews lived in Jewland that would be a valid comparison. What you're looking for is:

> Would it be OK to say "Israeli business ethics are lacking?"

And yes you would encounter the subset of people that think any criticism of Israel is antisemitism, but it would mostly be fine.

However it is sus to just say that all business in an entire very large country have cooked books while offering 0 evidence other than "trust me bro"

A couple of things that stuck out to me enough recently that I can recall them from memory:

- When a UN official in NYC stepped down citing failure to do anything about the ongoing 'genocide' in Gaza¹, other outlets, including some international ones, had articles about it the same day. NYT never released a piece about this NY news.²
- basically all coverage of the recent pro-Palestinian protests in Washington DC understates the size of the protests by an order of magnitude, sometimes by two, with headlines generally not updated after counts of attendees were verified (e.g., WaPo³)

Most of the grassroots level opposition is because developers lie, bribe and threaten their way out of honest development. I used to live in Cupertino (left 5 years back) and you had to be there to see the heavy handed tactics. Developers will promise one thing then once the contract was signed, bit by bit they will work with the city to roll back public benefits. And then the fights amongst city council - ugly at times in social media (Nextdoor). Nextdoor may be ugly itself but sometimes it exposes the fault lines very clearly since you see the same people parroting the lines over and over, after some time you just understand their tilt without anyone having to tell you so.

And this is not just Cupertino. I read stories from Saratoga, Sunnyvale, and San Jose. Wherever you get big money, some people get corrupted, and they don't work in the interest of the society. I mention San Jose but that is an example of city so big that neighborhood complaints can be killed quite easily since mobilizing the entire city to fight in behalf of one corner is not easy, so that's where the cities end up winning - they can do whatever without worrying "much" about the residents. But smaller cities can fight back and IMO they should until they get delivered what was promised.
I'd be a bit reluctant to quickly judge someone's exposure to the various terminology around this topic. CGP Grey has a good video on the terminology as used in the US [0]. From the video: "Talking to people over the last [sigh] 5 years revealed a strong correlation: the closer a person had ever been to a reservation, the more likely they would be to use the word 'indian'. The farther, the more likely they would be to use the word 'Native American'." and also "At the time of writing [this video/2019], 'Indian' is used by Indians on Indian reservations to describe themselves"

All they have to do is register their works that they are claiming were specifically infringed, and they are fine.

Well, with the registration issue. They still have to prove us of an exclusive right and overcome any argument that the other side puts up that the use involved fell under fair use, but they'll have dealt with the threshold issue of “are we allowed to sue over the works we are alleging were used".
Yes what I think is fascinating is that the younger generation is usually the one to virtue signal about the environment, equity, labor conditions, capitalism etc., but none of that matters when you can get "cheap stuff for cheap".

It fully exposes the hypocrisy of it all.
> the kind of ... service that benefits from using non-blocking IO.

Async, in the sense from the article, and non-blocking aren't synonyms. Not using Async doesn't imply blocking.
My experience has been that map apps are overly reliant on average times when traversing city streets. A shortcut thought LA might save you 10 minutes if the traffic light gods are in your favor or might add 30 minutes if you hit a red light at every intersection.

There are two parallel roads between my home and office and google likes to tell me that they will take the same time. One goes though about 10 stoplights in busy retail areas, one goes though about 5 stoplights in quiet industrial areas.

On average both roads might get me there at the same time, but on a unlucky day the busier road may cost me 20 minutes. I always take the other path

It's weird b/c in most parts of our day to day lives we have no say. We live in a democracy but for the most part none of us can vote on anything meaningful but in this one particular area everyday citizens have a ton of power and they're voting to protect their owns means. I don't know man I look at the decisions made by politicians and they piss me off but when everyday citizens get a chance to make policy if you will they do shitty stuff like this blocking affordable housing. If I come across as bitter it's b/c I am. My town tried to build affordable apartments and NIMBYs blocked it.
That’s what I’ve seen as well, it’s always a range with a huuuuuge gap. No one is posting the actual expected salary. It’s almost a scam, I could post a job listing with a salary of “$0 to $1,000,000,000.00”. It’s the same as not posting a salary number at all
AI induced reactive Observability. What if we could (ok we can just haven't) create a system that based on past solutions looks for a specific condition and then, when that condition is met, takes specific actions immediately and then reports to the human rather than reporting to the human and waiting for them to take a known set of actions. Beyond just "container died restart" but getting into "Container 2 is exhibiting performance that indicates it is suffering a very slow memory leak. Capture logs and readings to prove this, restart the container and report findings to a human"

An example is the entitlement of sovereign land use that promotes disadvantage. Many Native American reserves suffer from chronic poverty, alcoholism, drug use, etc. Entitled to land use, the US government holds final title, resulting in an inability for people living on the land to do things like collect taxes, private land development, mortgage of assets, etc.

So in this way, the “entitlement” of land use reserved for native Americans actually results in chronic disadvantage.

Even just the free iPhone app with free-tier GPT3 is better than Apple offers with Siri (low bar, but still) in many regards. Imagine that built out, and given system-level access to your phone tools, emails, calendar, and your smart-home tech (as Siri has) - there's so much potential there.

(I'm not sure I like the idea, as at this point I have no reason to trust OpenAI with my personal data, but it's undeniable that the potential is there.)
Page 15 has a table where of 164 homicide suspects 46.6% were Black, despite making up only 5.2% of the population. While it is possible that these suspects are all incorrectly accused, it does indeed seem to support OP’s conclusion.

Now the question comes: why is this the case, and how can we address it? I don’t have evidence to support this, but I would imagine that race is an unfortunate proxy for socioeconomic status, and that, rather than race, is the main driver for these homicides. The report goes on to link drugs, gang membership, and other factors which are more significant issues in more deprived communities to these homicides, which suggest at least a reasonably circumspect approach to the problem.
These things aren't locked down with a strict MDM?

One role of representative democracy (vs direct democracy) is to balance competing desires. Eg everyone wants good roads, but no one wants higher taxes. If you allow people to directly vote on each, people vote for higher costs and less revenue. So instead, we elect representatives to take a mix of popular (give us things) and unpopular (take things from us to pay for those things) positions at the same time.

Housing policy is the same thing. People widely support "cheaper housing" as a concept. If you magically halved the cost of all houses in the bay area, a lot of people would jump for joy and move to larger/nicer houses. On the other hand, roundly reject the things necessary to accomplish that - eg big housing complexes next door to them. It's the role of elected representatives to balance those desires.

That's where the moral authority to override a specific local desire comes from.
Thinking that racism has to do (only) with skin colour is a typical American misconception.

> How is someone supposed to reasonably negotiate that role? $100k is clearly a joke, $700k is clearly a salary someone got during the bubble.

$100K is easily a junior salary. $700K is a Principal plus salary in "big tech". A huge portion of that is RSU's and there may be weight thrown into personal performance with certain goals that align to company objectives. There are certain SRE jobs that are designed this way, especially if you're on the policy or proactive software development side of SRE work where the products you build (policy or software) take time to build and have huge associated returns in terms of monetary and customer trust.

For reference, my first SRE job was $75k/year.

My uneducated opinion is that this paper is bullocks. Maybe they are looking at deeper mathemtical results, instead of every day tasks.

But every single day I am using OpenAI GPT4 to handle novel tasks. I am working on a traditional saas vertical, except with a pure chatbot. The model works, is able to understand which function to call, to extract which parameters, and to know when the inputs will not work. Sure, if you ask it to do some extraneous task, it fails.

Google/Deep Mind need to start showing up with some working results.

In the way in which you literally must make a copy of the dataset to use it in training, and that literal copy if not excused by fair use analysis including consideration of the downstream purpose, is a violation of copyright.
This is where pay transparency [1] comes in. If employees can see what other people are making and it's clear that old hands are getting the shaft, then old hands will leave.

Also the last few places I've been at have made a conscious attempt to reset once a year or two to combat this effect. I can't speak to prior employers as that was before I started to be privy to how the sausage was made. Companies that don't reset compensation aren't worth working for.

Dilbert.
This is consistent with the author's assessment - the incomplete implementation of async makes it very challenging to advocate for, despite the fact that it was the only logical choice given Rust's design goals.

I will say that the notion that you must make your whole project async is largely true (except that you can block on futures with all runtimes), but this is more symptomatic of the fact that Rust has hitched its horse to two wagons that don't have clean overlap. It is effectively two languages trying to converge in the middle.

It's equally desired at "web server and above" and "operating system and below", which probably makes it one of the hardest languages on the planet to design (lets not forget it deliberately has no runtime, which makes things even more difficult). Whether or not this is a good idea remains to be seen over time, but they are in largely uncharted territory so I'm prepared to give them some slack on it while they figure it out.

That said, holy has it taken such a long time to round out the async story to make it feel better. I don't blame users not wanting to wait it out because it has felt like an eternity.

I've consistently observed the same creeping ETA on Apple Maps. Sometimes it's blatantly clear when planning a route when the estimated travel time and distance results in needing my average speed to be higher than any speed limit along the route. More often it's just that I'm traveling at a reasonable speed yet the ETA just keeps creeping out and out.

Additionally, maybe it is some settings I have on my iPhone, but Apple Maps seems to not make recommendations but just execute them, with no input from me. Recently we tried were navigating out of Burlington, VT, USA and specifically chose a route to avoid the ferry only to have Apple Maps decide we really should take the ferry without ever asking if we wanted to accept the route change.

I mean, $10000 is almost enough to ignore just how ugly that thing is. I just don't see the comparison to the 70 series or Hilux, except vaguely, maybe similar to La Croix's relationship to water.

To be clear, I find the effort they put into "styling" it ugly; if they committed and made a utilitarian vehicle without the style-effort, it likely would look great.
Agreed. No body cam footage - case is thrown out immediately.
You are absolutely right.

Integrating 'async' into a language is not a good approach to concurrency. If you want to run a single function on a different thread it can work. If you want something to run after that, that can work out.

Once you go beyond that, you are building a graph with very crude tools. Then you have lots of problems, including how you handle packaging dependencies when something you want to run depends on data coming from multiple other async sources.

Treating this as a language issue and not a library and tools issue is a huge mistake. Another reason is exactly what you outlined - libraries getting infected with a languages half baked concurrency solution instead of doing what they are supposed to while the user can fit them in where they want.

What actually works is graphs that handle dependencies and data structures for synchronization, but ultimately those need to be done well too.
i believe that the purpose of humanity itself is to advance our civilization.

that suggests that everyone should contribute to that, which further implies that every contribution matters, no matter how small. you tried something, and it failed. that's fine. ideally others have an opportunity to learn from that, but even if not, at least you learned something, and you can use that learning for your future.

the goal is not to create the greatest possible impact, but to learn and make the most of the resources available to you. it could be something small like if you are a lawyer having one out of ten clients pro-bono or for a very low rate for people who could not afford a lawyer otherwise.

> Man, you hate Americans, why do you live here? Honest question.

I didn't realize my comment amounted to hatred just because I don't want the average (or worse) domestic to share a home with me.

Where is it better? Do they speak English there and have open borders to an unmarried American male in his 40s? Honest questions.

Japan is on my radar, but they're notoriously difficult in the immigration department, and I don't speak the language. Not that I'm looking for a partner or whatever there, I just find their traditional practices of doing more on the floor appealing. In the US I'm an extreme weirdo for not using furniture.

Black Mirror ought to use this to parody the classic Twilight Zone episode of the post-war guy trying to find his eyeglasses so he could read. That was subtle horror, but reckoning with the fact that a private company could own the whole of your perception is an appropriately unsettling topic for the 21st century.
I'm not sure folks who're putting out strong takes based on this have read this paper.

This paper uses GPT-2 transformer scale, on sinusoidal data:

>We trained a decoder-only Transformer [7] model of GPT-2 scale implemented in the Jax based machine learning framework, Pax4 with 12 layers, 8 attention heads, and a 256-dimensional embedding space (9.5M parameters) as our base configuration [4].

> Building on previous work, we investigate this question in a controlled setting, where we study transformer models trained on sequences of (x,f(x)) pairs rather than natural language.

Nowhere near definitive or conclusive.

Not sure why this is news outside of the Twitter-techno-pseudo-academic-influencer bubble.
What Rust libraries use non-blocking IO without using async syntax? I don't know of any. This interpretation of the request is new to me: I've exclusively heard complaints about libraries using async from people who want to use blocking IO.

(Also, in case it isn't obvious: I wrote the article in question.)
The job postings are missing the salary ranges, which are required per NY law.
This is the key here - and it's not just Google - many "large" developments of whatever often require or include housing as a factor, as part of the deal with the city.

For example, a library project is occurring where the developer is getting the land for basically free, and building apartments on the land, but also paying most of the cost of the library.
What an absolute disgrace this is, true evil people. If it weren't for the environmental cost, remains the exploitive practices, and how it brainwashes millions of people into thinking that a piece of clothing barely has a value.
Show HN: Kapeta – open-source E2E developer platform
Kapeta is an end-to-end software development platform - which will allow you to design your system using a visual "living" systems diagram that'll generate boilerplate code as you design your system. Once you're happy with the architecture - you dive into the code and fill in the blanks - where the real value is.

Once you're done with your system - simply publish and deploy it to take it online. Kapeta does all the heavy lifting of creating a Kubernetes cluster (Powered by GCP atm) and adding your software to it.

This is just the beginning - and we're eager to add more features and providers to it, and hope to engage with the open source community around making Kapeta the software development platform for everyone!

We're very proud to introduce Kapeta to the world here on HN - and hope you'll give it a try.

Feedback is very welcome! Either reach out through the app, add a comment in this thread or write us at support@kapeta.com

They are logical builds on top of coroutines, as are generators. There is a generator initiative in the works, but it does seem odd that async exists and generators don’t given that the “pausable state machine” nature of them is so similar.
I haven't though this through, but this seems to be a good opportunity for MS to get back in consumer devices game.

They can expand on Surface/XBox brands to add Echo like ecosystem. Till now all smart devices/assistants aren't smart enough to be really useful beyond playing music and setting timer. GPT can change that, now the device can actually be useful. They have the momentum right now to build whole ecosystem around it. With latest increase in context length, complete user history can kept in sync across devices. Not sure if it is economically feasible.
