Would Nvidia the company want to engage in this? No. Would some middle manager involved in poaching this guy from the competitor want to do it? I have my suspicions. It takes two to tango and Nvidia didn't catch this themselves which raises some red flags. How was he hired? What kind of compensation was he able to negotiate? Was it well above the compensation Nvidia would ordinarily pay for an engineer of his level? How did he introduce the code into Nvidia's version control? Were there obvious red flags about the "development" pace that should have raised eyebrows during peer review?

I work at a big tech company and if I tried something similar, I'm pretty sure it would be caught internally. Even if I managed to pull it off, all it could realistically give me is a foot in the door. Some sketchy hiring manager isn't going to be able to just sweep some $500,000 signing bonus under the rug and $100k isn't unheard of for regular engineers here anyways. As far as compensation and promotion opportunities afterwards it stands little chance of mattering for that either. For the first few months nothing I did was even used performance reviews and it's a peer driven process to rate/promote engineers.

Combined that means that even if I wanted to do this, and I found a corrupt hiring manager that wanted to play ball, I'd have to sit on that IP for a few months after being hired, slowly introduce it into the codebase, alter it in response to peer review and to fit the new code base's coding styles, etc. In the end, that would prove useful for a grand total of one peer review cycle and then it's sink or swim on my own merits from that point forward.

All that to say, yes Nvidia doesn't want this kind of thing as a company, but there are still individuals who potentially stand to benefit and there's a lot of opportunities for Nvidia to catch this before it's accidentally shown on screen to the competitor it was stolen from this far down the line. I don't know much about Nvidia's corporate structure but it kinda seems like they're trying to avoid finding out about it rather than trying to actually prevent it.
Why do you expect to understand an expert’s talk, without yourself being knowledgeable about the topic/subject? With all due respect, this cockyness is unfortunately quite common with software developers (myself included), as if being good at one thing automatically translates to a different domain.

Nobel disease, but even without the Nobel-price?
sucks to have to rely on other people

everything here seems on the up and up, just ambitious and from people without the network to support it unilaterally

I think alot of people, including this community, have sold a dream of entrepreneurship that doesnt really apply to the have nots, using the faces of people that only pretended to be have nots. And that leads to outcomes like this, where entrepreneurs are entirely dependent on investors they have zero clout with that are more flaky and noncommittal than when the entrepreneur has a ton of their own capital already in.
This whole discussion seems to be summed up as “premature optimization is the root of all evil, and using anything but a csprng is a premature performance optimization”

There doesn’t seem to be any good non-performance reasons to use a regular prng that I can think of.
What soured my opinion was everyone and their dog trying to explain to me how they were going to get rich with bitcoin and NFTs.

And this was when I was actively employed developing crypto finance instruments! Like, I have warned people not to buy the thing I have built because they did not understand it.

It is/was a great playground for modeling different instruments imo, but people don't want to treat it like the back alley casino it is.
> nasty, naasssssty GPL!

What does that mean? Why would scanning for gpl code be looked at badly? It presumably means a company is proactively abiding by gpl licensing. The only thing better would be to use gpl and share their source as well. But of course it's a legit choice to just not use any gpl'd code.

It's probably more common to just turn a blind eye to gpl code, so it's good to see companies making sure they're on the right side of it.
Yes, I have experienced this multiple times - for example, ChatGPT and Bard giving totally opposite answers to the same questions. So I learned to take their answers with a pinch of salt and ensure to further research (either Google it, or ask another Conv-AI tool) when I start to smell something wrong.

IMO, these Conv-AI tools should indicate to the user when they are hallucinating.
The USA wasn't "the only economy left" except for the immediate postwar years. The 1950s and 1960s, the period when the US was doing so well according to the linked article, also saw economic booms for France (les trente glorieuses) and West Germany (Wirtschaftswunder), for example.

The socialist world wasn't necessarily stuck in place either: Yugoslavia's high point, the years of the vikendica and middle-class leisure travel across Europe and Asia, was the 1960s-1970s. Granted, Yugoslavia was outside the Iron Curtain, but even the USSR is instructive here: living standards were rising even there during the Krushchev era, which is why the Brezhnev era is regarded as such stagnation.
Having children is a nightmare.

All models are wrong. Some are useful.

We are in new territory. With 8 billion people, a global internet, climate change, etc. this is a scenario we haven't seen before.

I am skeptical that it is helpful to make sweeping pronouncements of this sort.

Some countries have high rates of disease and low levels of education. I bet getting people healthier and better educated would improve productivity more than having more children.

We also don't necessarily know how more people raises GDP per capita. Maybe it's a situation where having basics in place fosters more people who are healthier or something and maybe in some countries that pattern is not what's happening.
It seems reasonable. That's why I'm trying to figure out how the best startups (YC ones are probably among the best) do their encryption and how they think about it. Tbh I couldn't find much info online so that's why I'm asking here
Watched it yesterday and hated it. I was looking forward to it too based on the trailers but it turned out to be a big hit ahistorical hit piece.

For example, no matter what you think of the guy, Napoleon was a bonafide military genius. In the movie, they made him seem like just one more of the bunch. Napoleon was famous for never being bothered by the gore of battle and the buzzing of billets, in the same vein as general Grant. In the movie they made him seem like a scaredy cat

In “Waterloo” you could see why French soldiers joined his cause in droves. Extreme charisma
Well, by that reasoning, US are a successful country.

But when you are not the shareholder but the user / citizen, you have the right to decide what "successful" means to you.
> you can tell the growth rate of the company.

You can even do this when you don’t know the exact interval by using probabilities. The Allies used this method to estimate German tank production in World War II by analyzing the serial numbers of captured or destroyed tanks.

This is know as the German Tank Problem [1]

this is one of my BIGGEST frustrations learning to program. i do...not...want....to go online to work out hooow to do something. I want a "manual" - written well...that i can study and find the write tools to use...which for example (Pythons docs...are not...at least for beginners) - i then want to use the tools in said manual....to create. With the syntax, and the words you've defined oh so well in said manual. But...as the language grows...we'll just have to live with this never happening :)

this is something i get jealous of older programmers who grew up on old computers, with printed manuals...when languages were smaller, and the scope of programs were also smaller...and didnt require external libraries.
>Stupidity in this case probably means low level employees cheating for benefits and career

That's most likely the case here. FFS, the guy stole 6GB of proprietary data and police found the stolen design files pinned on his wall at home, so the guy was fully committed to his scammer role, and not just an accidental "oopsie I walked out with some proprietary IP by mistake, better discard it and keep this low key so nobody finds out".

By the looks of it, this guy, most likely a Bluecard(German equivalent of H1B) was just cheating and stealing his way up the career chain through the revolving door of the blue-chip automotive sector, until he got caught.

Companies both big and small, never ever encourage you to bring to work proprietary files and data from your previous workplaces, since that's a guaranteed lawsuit as these things always get out eventually.
> If they're actually error bars, you can shrink them with more data.

Assuming the new data has the same systemic or instrumental bias as the old data. Even using a different test date could skew results enough to widen the error bars.
You have a valid point but when there are conflicting interests, regulations are typically designed to act on the pivot point where they are likely to be effective, have a concentrated set of targets and create minimal harm.

In the case of finance, it is easier and more effective to delegate the bankers to keep tabs on who is moving (large sums of) money around and refuse service to anyone that seems suspicious. With regards to email providers, no similar nexus exists.

You can best believe that if email providers were registered and licensed and the issue of people using email to commit crimes were sufficiently pronounced, having them scan all emails for suspicious activity would be seriously considered (and there would be a good argument for it).
Consider the imaginary world that the author describes, in which people's estimate of their score is independent of their actual score. Wouldn't it be fair to say that, in this imaginary world, the DK effect is real?

The point of the effect is that people who score low tend to overestimate their score and people who score high tend to underestimate. Of course there are lots of rational reasons why this could occur (including the toy example the author gave, where nobody has any good sense of what their score will be), but the phenomenon appears to me to be correct.
> No serious company would do the latter

I agree. People are digging up papers with “Q*” in the title without understanding what they’re talking about. I think it’s silly to read into the OpenAI statement but their “Q*” algorithm probably means something pretty specific to them that would be very hard for us to guess from the name “Q*”
We don’t need more growth. Japan is still Japanese and Japan is fine. The owners on Wall Street might, but the average wagie doesn't.
"Interactive" in this sense has less to do with how the shell is used, and more with how it is invoked and connected to it's environment.

From the manpage:

An interactive shell is one started without non-option arguments
(unless -s is specified) and without the -c option, whose standard
input and error are both connected to terminals (as determined by
isatty(3)), or one started with the -i option.

Technically, the shell isn't connected to a terminal when started by sshd but to the ssh connection. So yeah, from the point of view of the user, it is absolutely interactive, but not from the point of view of bashs internal logic.

I don't doubt at all that your conditions are very challenging, and much more challenging than other people's. That being said, are there strategies where you can develop an exceptional mind that is capable of being happy despite these challenges?

Perhaps meditation or psilocybin would be helpful. For some people they are transformative. Just a thought.
Do we really need a library for that? Shouldn't it be a simple function?
That’s been my experience. Also, if I’m doing CRUD, and I’ve already written code for one resource, it will give me completions in the style of that first one.
I think if the GP had framed it as "time-saving devices not only don't give us more time for relaxation, as promised, but end up giving us less" it would be closer to the truth.

You rights should end where you try to not pay taxes of your trade.
I have a problem with public funded universities and research in Germany. I really don’t like how professors own companies where everything comes from PhD students’ work. Basically they transfer state/grant money into personal pockets via paid work hours. Though I don’t know how this works in Switzerland. Another day I saw a long list of CERN technologies that I can license from them and they were not for free.
There's a reason the man page is 200 pages long with 43,000 words. There's a lot more there than you imagine, much of it subtle.

Once you've read it, you don't need to Google anymore. You just open up the man page to the relevant section and see all the context, rather than just one answer to one question.
And success or not has nothing to do with OP's point.
According to wikipedia they are both from 2005, although GNU Bazaar is indeed 12 days older.

Ask HN: How to restart a project when competition has grown a ton?
I am a Product designer for 11+ years now and have been building side projects for long.

All my previous project were passion projects and I never focused to monetize them. 2 years ago, I got a domain to build a link in bio tool. I was excited and wanted to focus on this product to make money.

I started well. Build a website. Started talking about the project in public and got some initial praise & signups too. I was still in the process of designing & building the tool but I switched my full-time job and got busy there.

It's been 2 years now and I see a lot of link in bio tools out there. I am now unsure whether I should still pick up the project and launch it. Or I should just let it be and let the domain expire.

I am not sure what should be my differentiator now so when I launch, it gets used and so I can charge for a better feature or product.
If you've been in similar situation before, I'd highly appreciate your advice here.

I am great at designing & building software. My previous projects have been used by users and I've also made some side income from them. I also feel that if

I just offer a very well designed link in bio tools, which is quite rare to find (only a few handful companies are able to pull it off), then maybe there's a chance to capture the market - here the USP will be a well crafted product....but still, I am unsure.

Any feedback/suggestion is appreciated.
For a guy that wants to colonise Mars it makes total sense to try to adapt to Martian culture.
Consistency is a synonym for statistical significance. If there's consistency beyond random alignment, then there should be a statistical test you can apply over your data to extract the signal.

You can extract surprisingly small signals relative to variation in other parameters. But if it's actually swamped, then it might not be real, so go get more data.

At one point (for quite long actually) you could ride local trains to go from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok. It would take a month, though.
It's nowhere near as spacious as an Odyssey or Sienna or Caravan. Nor as nice inside, IMO. In fact, the model S actually has more usable cargo room than the X. The X is just a tall car with a sloping roof that kills all the usable space, just like all the other crossovers on the market. If you want space, you get a van. If you want a tall car that just has a high center of gravity for no reason, then you get a crossover.
So... reinforced concrete.

It's not exactly what it says. They mention "better shape" but I wish it would be more precise how the jugement is made and what factors are at play. If it's not a hard measure I wouldn't trust their judgment much because of confirmation bias.

There are also a lot of people who consider that anything that isn't extra lean is not good even though we have a lot of evidence that it is actually not healthy. You need some amount of body fat for good hormones regulation, storage and protection.

In the paper, past a certain age the difference in fat mass is not very significant but the control group had much better lean mass. So, it's not that they only lost some fat, the starved mouse are also missing out on useful muscle mass that could potentially make their life better and more enjoyable.

The more I read the more it looks like vegan progaganda...
So Popper was unsatisfied by this trilemma of ‘three equally unsatisfying options’, but Euclid several millennia earlier (and virtually everyone since) was perfectly satisfied with option (3).

Welcome to correlation vs causation 101.

Could it be that the growth of the population and the GDP has a common cause like advances in technology and medicine?

Why is the conclusion of the article more kids equals higher GDP and not the other way around.
TL/DR The standard for digital phone lines is (was) 7 bit samples multiplied at 8,000 samples per second.

7 * 8000 = 56,000 = 56k
You could say the same thing about China under Mao.
I'd expect this to be pitched as a way for a site to figure out whether to try to save power, but this begs the question why not just add an API to get power saving mode state?
> Violating patents is one thing, as you're only violating the concept/idea, but the implementation is still up to you

The concept/idea is not what is patented. The patent is (or should be) for the specific execution of the idea. Competitors are free to implement their feature using methods other that what is covered by the patent, even if the end result gives the exact same functionality.
"left-leaning parties [...] have become dominated by college-educated voters and lost working-class support", which then proceeded to elect college-educated right-wingers with fanciful (and wrong, or more accurately deceptive) economic theories.
Yup. Assuming the sample sizes are statistically significant, the original paper clearly shows:

- On average, people estimate their ability around the 65th percentile (actual results) rather than the 50th (simulated random results) -- a significant difference

- That people's self-estimation increases with their actual ability, but only by a surprisingly small degree (actual results show a slight upwards trend, simulated random results are flat) -- another significant difference

The author's entire discussion of "autocorrelation" is a red herring that has nothing to do with anything. Their randomly-generated results do not match what the original paper shows.

None of this really sheds much light on to what degree the results can be or have been robustly replicated, of course. But there's nothing inherently problematic whatsoever about the way it's visualized. (It would be nice to see bars for variance, though.)
I think if you want to sell chemicals, explosives, or guns, you're going to have to keep records on your customers, and may have to do some level of vetting before the sale, depending on the product and jurisdiction within the US.

Software I use to make HTTP requests does not support Javascript.
I like this method. The problem with it is that there's just too much stuff to know. So let me teach you another method. Don't try to know everything, learn to get things from other resources, one of which is chatGPT. Worth the investment to be wise about what you pick and choose to learn.

They also need to simplify the tickets structure. It is great from obvious which ticket to buy when you are outside of Paris.

And when I write "they", it is from the perspective of a native of Versailles who still has to think hard when looking at the web site in his own language. I cannot imagine for a tourist.

I have a test harness that runs all the LLMs side by side to compare the quality of output. I have tried Claude 2.1 (the new Anthropic model) and it is better than PaLM but not as good as GPT4.

I am skeptical that Google is holding back a better model. It would go against every instinct that all the tech companies have, especially if you believe that AI is the future, why would you hamstring yourself by putting out an inferior product when you have a better one gathering dust in the back? Google has oodles of cash, so not sure why cost would be an issue. I don't get the safety argument so I can't speak to it but unless you have AGI it seems premature.
Works as expected, the same way there are APIs for the device orientation, etc.

Eventually these get placed behind permissions if they become too much widely abused.

"Elon Musk doesn't know how to code" is my fav. It's as if coding is some sort of mythical and rare skill. A new grad who just learn to code a year ago is able to intern at FAANG, but Elon Musk cannot possibly learn how to code for some reason.
