I think if Tijuana was under military and civilian blockade for 2 decades, with a nominal "autonomy" that involves anything but actually allowing any meaningful development (a port, electricity etc), and with the American navy openly attacking and murdering anyone who tries to help (like with the flotilla attack)... even Americans would probably not be surprised if said city wouldn't be super peaceful. And even America would've been condemned by Europe or something for even doing all of those things I listed above.

Especially if the US was already promoting and military enforcing colonization of more peaceful mexican territory around Tijuana lol
The product/company feels like the natural progression of the whole Oracle/Java/JS/SAML schtick, and has become the de facto when dealing with the kinds of people who base their whole company's IT personality on that stack. They're trying very, very hard to make it seem like it's another "no one got fired for buying IBM" kind of decision. Except... oops!
Sounds like a lot of HN people just don't like desire friends period. Like work is just a begrudging duty to attend to for half their waking lives but do it in tech because it pays extremely well for less investment (compared to other professions like doctors and Lawyers).

Again, It's half your life in your most active years so Idk how I'd tolerate a lonely workplace in top of an increasingly lonely world. Does everyone just suffice using online dating and posting here for other socialization?
And then the metrics database also stores the tracking timeline for physical deliveries, because the business decided that it had to cut corners and ship a feature urgently and they had just fired the CTO for standing up for quality engineering at the expense of velocity.
You have forgotten Bonzi Buddy.
I left a large comment on this thread
If there's an unsavory reason, I think it's one or both of:

1. Employees slack more on average working from home. Employers want people stuck in a work-only place where they're monitored. Same as how open offices replaced cubicles "for cost reasons." I've seen evidence of this at my job.

2. They're heavily invested in physical offices in particular cities already, so much that they alone can sway the same real estate market they're invested in, and it's not a sunken cost yet.
Amazon joins AI image creation fray with new model
In your thought experiment, you basically say, “Let’s model the universe with the assumption that there’s no free will” and use that assumption to show that there’s no free will. If you assume that the universe functions like a computer, you’ll get that result, but I need more proof to accept that the universe functions like a computer. I highly doubt that it does. If this was the seventeenth century, the argument would be that the universe functions like clockwork. That was a decent approximation at the time, but clearly not true.

I can’t say that there IS free will, but I think trying to make the determination that there isn’t with today’s level of understanding is premature. Since free will (whether real or illusory) is either an effect of consciousness or at least deeply tied to consciousness, I think we need a coherent theory of consciousness before we rule out free will. We don’t have that theory. That’s why it’s called The Hard Problem of Consciousness.
I think you are misunderstanding.

It feels to me that he's saying AI could fill the role of the clergy in making people repent for their sins and thus absolving their souls. This would make the spiritual leader that brings about this "mass-salvation" one of, if not the most succesful vessel of god.

Imagine the cultural impact of having AGI turn billions of people to <whatever_religion_you_preach> 24 / 7.
As a dad, one of my very favorite things is when one of my offspring asks me a question I have a solid answer for.

Probably, when you ask him this stuff, he glows inside.
For the given case, look for large amounts of added content that just happen to match up with a competitor's. Very few legit sites will add 1000+ articles/pages in a short amount of time, especially not ones that don't relate to say, product pages, category pages or other normally automated setups.

And honestly, looking for ridiculous amounts of pages being added in short periods of time should be one of the first things Google flags for a website. Ignoring a few very unlikely exceptions (site is bought out and merged into another one, site goes viral to the same degree as TikTok, Amazon sets up another store), adding thousands or tens of thousands of pages in weeks, days or hours should at least get a site flagged for manual review.

Similarly, sites with a large percentage of content copied from elsewhere (like those Stackoverflow ripoffs) should be easily downranked into oblivion. Forget AI, one of the biggest problems Google has right now is that obvious copycats are ranking as high as (or even higher than) the originals, despite the company clearly having numerous ways of knowing who the original is and who the ripoff is.

Also perhaps treat different types of sites differently too. For example, often when a wiki is forked, you'll have two sites with similar content; the original and fork. Prioritise the one with more edits and activity, and you'll see things like Wikia/Fandom get rightly wiped out SEO wise.

And yeah, definitely use social media as more of a benchmark for legitimacy, since virtually everyone uses it in some way to communicate online. If a site isn't mentioned by anyone who's been around for a few years or with a decent reputation, then don't rank it as high as one that said people are mentioning. Stuff like Hacker News and Reddit karma, likes/retweets/their equivalents, mentions on blogs and personal sites, links from wikis, etc should be seen as authenticity factors in a much more strict way than they are at the moment.
>Windows doesn't really sell itself (other than as a gaming platform, but we have Nvidia's streaming platform for that)

And the Steam Deck shows that you can run nearly any Windows-based game locally on a machine not running Windows at all (Wine/Proton on Linux, but a Steam Deck user doesn't have to worry about the details; it just works).
Why is there so much space. I never got that. There is just so much space. Seems unoptimized.
> That's easy for you to say, but what have YOU actually contributed to open source software? How's that new free web browser you wanted to write from scratch going? Stop complaining about Chrome, and finish what you called for other people to do for you for free, yourself!

Slow pace but surprisingly going well, thank you. Taking tkhtml as the basis and going for a non-js approach.

> what have YOU actually contributed to open source software?

What does this mayter, are we to have a dick measuring competition? Most stuff that isn't for the normal user. A library that controls my hexa robot is a cool lib. among other things. I'm not a programmer nor developer.

All i know is that we live in a shitty world with shitty internet and from many browsers we are now down to two. Which are both as shite.

the model is smaller, but good to have some fun with the API integrated with other systems, haha...
Thanks. I think here we call those "canopies."
Thanks! We're not planning to support inline comments at this time; this was a tradeoff we knew we'd have to make when we decided to use JSON.

Given the choice between supporting comments and supporting a wider variety of implementations/libraries ("plain" JSON as opposed to a comments-supporting variant), I think the latter is a more practical priority.

With that said, we'd like to add a standard way to add vendor-specific information to an MNX document — which is definitely a must-have, for applications that will use MNX as a native format — and I could see a comments-ish thing appearing in that form.

Regarding that examples page, I'm actually planning to do something along those lines anyway. The MusicXML docs and the MNX docs use the same system (a Django app), and the MusicXML part uses a custom XML tag to define "this part of the XML example should be highlighted in blue" (example: https://w3c.github.io/musicxml/musicxml-reference/examples/a...). It's on my to-do list to implement the same thing for the JSON version — which is essentially like inline comments(ish), if you squint.
I don't think identification of possible new materials is a rate-limiting step for discovery of better catalysts, batteries, etc. The problem is not coming up with new materials -- it's coming up with new materials that _have desired properties_ and _can be cheaply synthesized_.

It's like if you asked a chemist to draw a few possible structures for organic molecules that have never been synthesized. They can do that. But not all of those possible molecules they came up with will be easy to synthesize. And neither they nor anyone else (without doing a lot of experimental work) will be able to tell you which of those possible structures, if any, would work as a painkiller or an oncology drug.

Still, I do think this is a nice demonstration of how more data enables very accurate predictions of energies that would otherwise require expensive DFT calculations. That part is definitely interesting.
That sucks. I'd be frustrated too. For me it just hosts calendar and contacts for a few users and my files are in seafile so perhaps the small footprint helps. In what way did it break, I want to keep an eye out for this.
Standing up and saying something is wrong still requires a backbone, even if you take it no further. There are a lot of people who won't even go that far.
Okta has tie-ins with a bunch of different systems that won't interop normally, right? I think that's a big part of it. Who wants to do their own SAML integration or whatever.
In this case, Python's code (opening and loading the content of a file) operates almost fully within its C runtime.

The C components initiate the system call and manage the file pointer, which loads the data from the disk into a pyobj string.

Therefore, it isn't so much Python itself that is being tested, but rather python underlying C runtime.
IIRC, Amazon wages weren't that great to begin with.
Have you actually taken a bus into Seattle? It's not much of a choice between the $1.5M house near the office and the $350k house twice the size 40 minutes away.
The 47 trillion number confused me
It's code. There is not necessarily a single solution that makes sense. The thing you're calling could throw an exception, or it could return a failure value. If it fails, you may want to set off some extra routine that retries, or perhaps you want to handle some specific errors and retry or notify, but other errors are critical and cause failure, not just notification. Having it handle those automatically is not a feature in some cases, it's a problem.

System cron is simple, by design, because as a DSL there's a benefit to not complicating it. If you're already in Javascript/Typescript, a lot of the benefits of that are mitigated by the benefits of having much more control over exactly how it functions in every care.

As an example of this, there's a bunch of cron "helpers" to deal with the shortcomings of cron's simplistic approach, such as those in moreutils[1].

P.S. Personally I wouldn't have even called this implementation cron and use the cron syntax for it, since that just makes people assume cron usage and the cron scheduling format is not an asset if you're already in a language where you could just pass in a structure with the specific fields you want set by name.

Looking forward to discovering this standard. After 2 years working on parsing ABC, I realize how difficult it is to represent notation. Kudos on this effort!
IMO the answer is so boring that it defies belief.

People who like being in charge pursue jobs where they're in charge. When you're a manager and you can't look around and see your minions hard at work, you don't feel like you're in charge.

It's really that simple.
Could your manager have helped figure this out? Even if they can't change anything, it can be helpful to loop your manager in so they aren't surprised if a simmering conflict erupts down the road.
Same here. You can't even scroll to see it. I'm sure it's not intentional.
And that from the same companies that insist on open office spaces? Shocker! /s
There's been a push where everyone is somehow required to voice their opinion. Remember that "silence is complicity" catchphrase?
I wonder if their numbers factor in the hundreds of SUVs idling for hours as they creep through rush hour traffic…
Because claiming to care about climate change is greenwashing bullshit that sounds good in PR statements and self important fart smelling events that CEOs attend, but in the end is a box-ticking exercise.

No one measures the environmental impact of unnecessarily forcing office workers to the office, the press doesn’t ask corporate leaders about their hypocrisy, so leaders just force workers back the consequences be damned.
Fast is relative here. These are microcoded instructions, which are generally terrible for latency: microcoded instructions don't get branch prediction benefits, nor OoO benefits (they lock the FE/scheduler while running). Small memcpy/moves are always latency bound, hence even if the HW supports "fast" rep store, you're better off not using them. L2 is wicked fast, and these copies are linear, so prediction will be good.

Note that for rep store to be better it must overcome the cost of the initial latency and then catch up to the 32byte vector copies, which yes generally have not-as-good-perf vs DRAM speed, but they aren't that bad either. Thus for small copies.... just don't use string store.

All this is not even considering non-temporal loads/stores; many larger copies would see better perf by not trashing the L2 cache, since the destination or source is often not inspected right after. String stores don't have a non-temporal option, so this has to be done with vectors.
> And we all know why u10000 is in there: because you have to have arbitrary-width integers when writing a compiler

You don't need them as a built-in type to write a compiler. They're there because LLVM was the original backend and you essentially get them for free (in the sense that the backend code generation is already handled for you, so why not include them).
How does not thinking Google engineering (and then their engineers) are special become slandering? You guys really take "not being special" as an insult? Too bad for those 10 000 ppl.
What's the alternative? They don't want to pay a full team SV or NYC wages that's for sure. There's not many places they can just layoff and re-hire what would be tens of thousands of people. Total headcount is north of 100k. I'm not sure what it would be including contractors. Are they gonna pay support roles like scrum masters and admin assistants NYC wages too?

We have offshore resources on the team too to maintain a 24 hours global presence. Europe and India. So are we onshoring to night shifts too?
Apparently not in Maine prison.
Wielding cultural values as a bludgeon from a position of authority weakens all of a company’s cultural values.

It uses the common for new and short-lived services (but, IIRC, not generally effective -- but don't trust me, see an actual lawyer) technique of using marketing language selling it in terms which describe legal advice, but then including a small print disclaimer at the bottom of the extremely long page saying that the analysis provided should not be treated as legal advice.
It seems quite unlikely you're getting fired for going with a massive vendor like this even if they have security incidents.
Lol I love that phrasing. That's the ciso job - scapegoat
I wouldn't exactly be mad, I'd quit. So far haven't had to, but I had Amazon and other offers ready in hand last year in case that was needed.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.

Why are you using justicereport.news as a source? I hadn't heard of it but after clicking through it a little it's clearly a fringe crazy spam site (objectively-- take a look at some of the articles)

If this is worth discussing you can easily find a better source
Not bad, still have the usual six fingers hands
They patched that real quick.
It does impact him. His employment opportunities are just as restricted by in office policies as everyone else in the industry.
They're not talking six slices, they're talking one slice to undo a workout. Not sure where you invented six from.

You're free to debate scientific evidence, but it stands stronger than an anecdotal statement.
I wonder how NVIDIA gets to report their investment here from an accounting perspective?

Could they book the money TogetherAI spends on GPUs as revenue now, and then when TogetherAI flops and returns five cents on the investment dollar write it off in a different line of business?
Imagine Copernicus on this solar system's third planet.

"My Lords I have discovered that our planet, Dirt, is not the centre of the universe!"

Priests start stacking kindling high.

"Just stay there Copernicus, this won't take long"

"But we circle in perfect heavenly orbits around a heavenly sphere of light, held in pure ratios - our year is twice that of our nearest neighbour, and a third of the tiny planet named after a classical goddess. It is truly beautiful and is utter proof that God exists. I have the proof ! Let us rejoice"

"Err, so, Pope Copernicus sound good to you?"
Yep, this is Microsoft's answer to the terrible Citrix user experience, which is a non-trivial component of burnout in healthcare.

Every hospital basically tells their staff, several times a day, via an electronic health record system served over Citrix: we don't trust you, and you time is worthless, fuck you. All in the name of security.
If it's ChatGPT than I doubt it will generate anything close to smut.
Apple has a special deal with Arm because they used to be in a Joint Venture with Acorn

https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/09/05/apple-arm-have-be...

Apple invested $3 million to own 43% of the company. That investment was specifically to fund the design and development of the ARM processor for what would become the Apple Newton MessagePad.
Please never do that.

Think of how you would explain things to some external or new person. Compare:

"You need to tune Steve so Lily doesn't get stuck".

to

"You need to tune the data collection service so the object storage service doesn't get stuck".

The first proposed variant is just ridiculous! Whereas the second variant gives you a glimpse of what's going on.

For the exact same reason you should not call your identifiers in code "liz" or "bobo".

Name your things what they are!
I left Amazon (b/c they wanted me to move to Seattle) for a remote job at a smallish startup paying 10% more. So, yes.
Oh thanks! OpenPGP support in Rainloop is really bad, I ended up adding Mailvelope as a plugin. I'd gladly give it a shot even if just for that.
I'd say that more often than not C-Levels only take a hit if the bottom line is impaired, otherwise (like just some temporary heat from bad PR) it's business as usual.
Its politics. Good luck trying to convince someone in larg corp they don't need Oracle with other open source databases out there. There is just too many people in line on both sides that job and salary and bonuses depends on the deals to continue, no matter how terrible, expensive, or useless they are.
Because its primary focus is on redefining how dependencies are stored and accessed, rather than modifying the contents of these dependencies.

Useless files will still be there.

Also, when you create a Docker image, you avoid packing in dev tools that aren't absolutely essential (such as Yarn).
In theory, I mostly agree with you.

In practice - my advice is for the academic, who is trying to get an article published in "one of the well-reputable journals". That is a weak hand to be playing. Vs. the journal's editor is in a far stronger position, to hit back hard at whoever seems to be farming out their review job to a cut-rate bot.

Edit: 's/is farming/seems to be farming/'
And I agree: I perform certain tasks better when occasionally doing that face to face.

My employer does not however own some form of magical right for my “best performance every day all of the time forever and ever”.

Suck it up employer.
If you're reasonably polyglot then finding a well-paying job isn't too hard - the market is already swinging back towards favoring talent and open positions are climbing (at least according to an interview I listened to the other day [1]). Of course, if you're coming from the likes of Amazon then I'd be inclined to agree: 400k+ is a rarity - but you'd probably be able to pull it off by migrating to another MOFAANG.

Edit: in addition, if you are 400k+ you'd probably enjoy the privilege of skipping the interview and even having a position opened for you.

Well don’t keep us in suspense…
To be fair, it isn't a drop of a hat to switch jobs. Just look at the current tech market. It ain't always an option even here.

And while I get job hopping because of money (bigger pay bumps, company loyalty is dead), I still wouldn't want to hop Too often. That will also make it harder to jump later on when a really good opportunity comes up.

It also brings up an old adage: "when everything around you smells, look under your shoe". Of every job has "someone" that annoys you in different ways, you may need more than a change of environment to address that.
Part of what the enterprise is buying is someone to blame. Same can be said for consultancies, outsourcing etc. It is a very real part of the politics of decision making at large orgs.
Agreed. Finding remote jobs seems easy, the challenge is finding remote jobs that are interesting and pay close to my current salary.

I'd accept a 10-20% salary hit to skip my 20m commute 3 days a week, but so far the only options have been for 40%+ lower salaries or work that I am less interested in. For me that tradeoff is not worth it.
Are employees who work remote taking more vacations and having a higher impact because of air travel? As long as everyone is getting paid just as much, it seems like the environmental impact would be the same.
