Of the bugs that I've experienced in large-scale, Rails production systems, typing is a small subset.

Manually reconstructing logistical errors based on a combination of user input and system data, are the most time-consuming issues to diagnose.

When your codebase is 500,000+ lines of code, which code paths are relevant for a given endpoint? What methods were called and under what context? How do we begin to reconstruct this bug?

These are the scenarios for which Call Stacking gives instant visibility to.
Cool project! Maybe you could also display a "before/after" of the code changes on your readme so it gets easier to see the results.

Can you not get a loan that's only 4 times your salary? Sorry for my naivete it just seems reasonable a bank would loan that except for the scale.

It's a tough market for developers right now. One of things he can do is to peruse job boards, like Indeed, to get a feel for what types of jobs companies are hiring for right now. Another thing is to reach out to recruiting firms to see what type of jobs they're recruiting for too and get any tips on how to prepare.

Also, if that's his dream - he shouldn't give up because today's programming positions are sparse. It could change dramatically in some amount of time. In the past, there have even been weirder anomalies in the market where programmer jobs were plentiful, while other jobs were sparse. The silver lining might be that by identifying where his passion is, he'll have time to be more prepared when the market is ready for him.
I ran one of the successful projects in Area 120.

I joined Area 120 with huge skepticism. It was hamstrung and inefficient in its own ways. And I agree it didn’t reach its potential - largely because it was encased in Google 2020 instead of Google 2007.

But to my surprise almost all of the projects were impressive, well-conceived, promising bets. And the people in Area 120 were among the top 10% of Googlers I worked with in my decade at the company.

Google killed Area 120 because of bureaucracy and politics, full stop. Google is worse off because of it.

I’m not sure Ryzen Embedded is the answer to every SBC use case. Even the budget V3000 line comes with 2x 10 GbE, 20 lanes of PCIe and 8 cores. Does an elevator controller [0], e-scooter [1] or a kiosk need that much power? Doubtful. There is plenty of room for low power Arm SOCs.

GCC is just vectorizing the code literally. It's doing multiple bytes in each loop iteration, but the vectorized code is still bit-testing the index to conditionally XOR into each accumulator. This is still much less efficient than taking advantage of the regular patterns as in the latter parts of the article. It also runs with a lot less lanes than it could, because it uses 32-bit lanes instead of 8-bit for some reason.

What do you mean? Switching between integrated and dedicated GPU? Or opening your case and directly removing or adding a GPU?

If its the first, I think there is support for this. There's NVIDIA optimus for NVIDIA for instance.

The second one, I never thought it could be a use case, even less that Windows would even support that. I always turn off my computer to do anything on my motherboard.

Hypothesis: With Monday.com or other startups, while there is risk that the company will shut down and the tool that you are depending upon will go away, the typical assumption is that they are doing their best to stay in business and deliver and improve that tool. It's all they have. So your incentives are credibly aligned.

Whereas with Google, unless the product you're talking about is "Ads" (or Search or Android or YouTube), it's very easy to imagine them waking up one day and saying, "oops, our bad, what were we thinking, let's kill this thing" and going on their merry way without noticing an impact to their bottom line.

Ask HN: Why the LLaMA code base is so short
I was getting into LLM and I pick up some projects. I tried to dive into the code to see what is secret sauce.

But the code is so short to the point there is nothing to really read.

I once mentioned using ACO to a former (mostly dumb, non-technical) manager and was nearly laughed out of the room. Her misapprehension was that to solve the particular problem at hand, which I think was some routing issue for support crews in a utility company, that we'd use actual ants!
That's kind of my take on it as well. I don't care what it is, I can make it work. If I couldn't make it work, I would be the wrong guy for my job.

instead of Googleing and getting a forum post from 2009 where you have to read the whole thread and then interpret the results, ChatGPT just gives you the answer directly. ChatGPT could be shitty and rude about it and it would still be better because it's a direct smart to your direct question.

what's hilarious is the conversation that must have happened inside google about linking to pages vs giving the answer on the search result page, and now where we are with ChatGPT.

Yes, we have often not been careful but that does not imply we are never careful and or should not be careful. Arguably we are getting more careful all the time. So just pointing out that we have not been careful in the past does not really help your argument. What you actually have to argue is that not being careful with AI is a good thing and maybe you can support that argument by arguing that not being careful in the past was a good thing, but that is still more work than just pointing out that we were not careful in the past.

I previously worked for a large management consulting firm, but in one of their newly acquired tech/implementation teams.

There are quite literally analysts and sr analysts on every project whose entire job is just creating and editing powerpoints, sending them to their partner managing the case, getting feedback and repeat. Nothing else, just powerpoints. They may sit in on some meetings themselves but don't really offer much in the way of actual expertise in any meaningful way. Many of these people have literally never worked in the sector/field they are supposed to be consulting/advising on

They all have due dates basically every night for a new powerpoint presentation and that is literally the only deliverable for many of the people on a given case (client project).

While I was paid a lot for the job, often multiples of the developers working for any given client and it was hyper stressful, there's probably not a single project I can think of where the client wouldn't have been better off just doing things themselves and hiring full-time positions or even contractors who aren't one of these giant complex expensive firms.

Now that isn't to say there aren't a handful of very valuable/knowledgable people staffed to a project, but I'd wager on the average project only like 10-20% of people have anything of actual value to offer.

Who, it should be said, have done some atrocious student housing.

I lived in dorms that were, to put it as a roommate did, designed in the same tradition as the Albuquerque jail.
Students generally don't have much say over the design of their dorms.

And 80% of students who toured a demo space were positive or neutral on it.

No, Munger didn't say they would get no dorms at all if they didn't build it. He said he would not give them $200M if they didn't follow his plans. I'm not aware of his ability to unilaterally prevent the building of dorms on any campus.

What this has to do with architects is that architects don't sign off on unlivable spaces.

One of the strange move by china is to go pacific. It is a land empire. Hence if you think through it and given there is actual war between Soviet Union and china, why not point upwards and get back Siberia. Or somehow effectively get that by letting Russia dig shit in Ukraine and get their material cheap.

It is understandable to try to break the pacific ring but fighting a war on the sea … even if it won, can it be sustainable? Is there any material in Pacific Ocean easily obtainable?

For the M strait the pacific rim is really a different ball game. The whole strait is surrounded by countries which will not give up their coastline. The sea and land belt thing is mostly to bypass it?

The whole move is wrong. I have spoken.

What is the sum of odd numbers in this set: 4, 7, 12, 1, 3

The sum of odd numbers in the given set is 4 + 7 + 1 = 12. Therefore, the answer is 12.
There's a big family of risks here.

The simplest is pretty easy to articulate and weigh.

If you can make a $5,000 GPU into something that is like an 80IQ human overall, but with savant-like capabilities in accessing math, databases, and the accumulated knowledge of the internet, and that can work 24/7 without distraction... it will straight-out replace the majority of the knowledge workforce within a couple of years.

The dawn of industrialism and later the information age were extremely disruptive, but they were at least limited by our capacity to make machines or programs for specific tasks and took decades to ramp up. An AGI will not be limited by this; ordinary human instructions will suffice. Uptake will be millions of units per year replacing tens of millions of humans. Workers will not be able to adapt.

Further, most written communication will no longer be written by humans; it'll be "code" between AI agents masquerading as human correspondence, etc. The set of profound negative consequences is enormous; relatively cheap AGI is a fast-traveling shock that we've not seen the likes of before.

For instance, I'm a schoolteacher these days. I'm already watching kids becoming completely demoralized about writing; as far as they can tell, ChatGPT does it better than they ever could (this is still false, but a 12 year old can't tell the difference)-- so why bother to learn? If fairly-stupid AI has this effect, what will AGI do?

And this is assuming that the AGI itself stays fairly dumb and doesn't do anything malicious-- deliberately or accidentally. Will bad actors have their capabilities significantly magnified? If it acts with agency against us, that's even worse. If it exponentially grows in capability, what then?

Which 5% of projects are really great? In my experience, presuming you have tight filters such that all of your projects are plausibly potentially great, you really don’t know until you try. That’s the point of an incubator.

It’s not that hard to evaluate when something is working (ie the hard part in evaluation is false negatives, not false positives).

In Area 120’s case there was no coasting - if anything there was a hair-trigger standard to shut down underperforming projects.

It is not surprising. The assumption is that they have the best people. That you can objectively search 8 billion people for the best people globally is folly of course. There are geniuses without US citizenship / visas / green cards. And so outside brains are going to figure this out. Mix in GDP of $rest_of_world has much more resources than any company, and the luck-driven nature of making AI discoveries, and I reckon most progress will be outside of OpenAI etc. Driven by a problem the big guys don't need to solve: how do I avoiding buying a $5k graphics card.
I think this guy has a Stockholm syndrom like I saw multiple times with Google employees:

; one of the most annoying is the prevalence of pointless cookie warnings we have to wade through today. I found it quite frustrating how teams would be legitimately actively pursuing ideas that would be good for the world, without prioritising short-term Google interests, only to be met with cynicism in the court of public opinion.

That is very fun because he thinks that they were trying to do good for the world but all was messed up because of cookie banners. Where, in fact, doing good for the world would have been to not abuse of cookies for tracking and evil use that would mean that they would not need bad cookies and would not have been needed to produce cookie banners...

I'm in that older+longer cohort so I'll comment...

I think you are talking about workflow-breaking changes or stability issues during transitions to newer Linux bits. You explicitly excluded hardware/driver issues that a lot of people gripe about with Linux on laptops. I think your experience here can vary dramatically depending on your choice of Linux distribution, your upgrade tempo, and your expectations.

I've had some frustrations with the UEFI transition and secure boot, because it forced me do research when I just wanted my system to boot. I've similarly suffered some regressions with MATE recently, where it boots to a black screen and I had to dig around to find that switching to a text console and restarting lightdm would get it unstuck. I'm struggling to answer whether these are "driver" things or not.

But, I've been on Fedora for ~20 years now and am happily oblivious to Flatpak, Snap, or even Docker because they have nothing to do with my day to day experience. I also don't think I've dipped my toes into Wayland yet. I've been using XFCE or the MATE desktop rather than GNOME. But I do remember when ALSA was the new thing, then pulseaudio, and now pipewire. I mostly didn't care unless trying to setup some specific sound peripheral. I never had btrfs anywhere except an experimental system, because I always customized partitioning and never really considered the defaults to matter.

If I exclude hardware/driver issues, it seems like this same story applies to Windows. It all depends on what part of the ecosystem you consider to be part of your platform experience. Some people might have some favorite apps that essentially work the same as 25 years ago, while others have experienced multiple upheavals as third parties abandoned or hijacked an old favorite application or forced some kind of migration. It's only gotten worse with all the rent-seeking cloud integrations with everything.

Gabe Newell forced to testify in person in Steam antitrust case [pdf]
Valve is facing an antitrust lawsuit from two indie game developers who accuse it of abusing its market power by charging a 30% commission fee and preventing them from offering lower prices on other platforms. The co-founder and president of Valve, Gabe Newell, has been ordered by a federal judge to give an in-person deposition in the case, despite his request to testify remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The judge ruled that Newell’s unique knowledge of Valve’s business strategies and policies was crucial for the plaintiffs’ case, and that a remote deposition would be unfair and inadequate. The deposition is scheduled to take place on December 15, 2023, in Seattle.
