So one of the runners up was "prompt" and somehow "rizz" won? I feel like if any one word describes the chaos this year, it's "prompt" I haven't even heard someone use the word rizz throughout thousands of youtube videos I've watched this year.

I guess my assumption about this is that it's meant to kind of "cement a single word that represents the state of the year" and, if that's the case, "prompt" not winning is a pretty bad look. A way to say "hey look, we're irrelevant!" BUT if my assumption is wrong, I don't understand the point of this declaration at all.
Yeah we're in the same boat, I was somewhat excited about this at first read and then I got to "LLMs" and "OpenAI" and I just stopped reading. :-(

But I'm sure others are ok with it, so that's great.
When you have an audience of people who are forbidden from leaving, you have some level of obligation to use their time wisely. The myth of "yeah you're forced to be here, but it's for your own good!" really breaks down when the "good" use of their time is intentionally annoying them to extort money. I hated things like this when I was in highschool. It made me think (often rightfully) that even from an academic perspective my time would have been better spent at home playing Counterstrike.
No contract can save you from what you don't know, and don't understand.

Different points of view, if they can stay respectful. Can be a great strength.

I see the world in terms of risk. If X will help me derisk something. Even if it isn't totally EV+ it can be a good play, because risk of ruin is real. Especially with large amounts of money, and small numbers of trials.

25% less to have a 10% better chance at making 75m vs 100m? Probably worth it a that level. Because 75m or 100m is life changing money for 99.99% of people at least. The amount won't matter as much as your chance of getting to it.
In my experience, the stranger your weird keyboard, the less it impacts your ability to use a normal keyboard. Learning the guitar doesn't make you worse at piano-- your brain is capable of understanding how to use multiple tools, and the lack of physical similarity seems to help it disambiguate.
During COVID, software companies massively overhired, because the executives in charge went all "hurr durr, digital is the future boys! Nobody is going outside anymore!". Not to mention the government was handing out money like candy through various schemes complete with low interest rates. I believe Facebook (as example) alone went from a headcount from 40k to over 80k employees in just 2 years of COVID.

2022+ was the "return to normal" with online trends quickly reverting back to pre-COVID levels. This resulted in a sudden drop in online economics (such as ad spend) that could justify the bloated workforces.

Drastically increased interest rates to fight inflation also cut off the cheap money flow to companies that would previously burn it like crazy on "R&D" and the like.
IBM tried to push a competitor in the 1990s…BookManager was an initially mainframe (VM/CMS, MVS, etc) combination of viewer program and proprietary format. It came about in response to both IBM customers and product documentation groups demanding some sort of online “hypertext” version of the thousands of publications available.

IIRC it came out around the same time as the initial Acrobat format but not necessarily in response to it. Eventually there were viewers for Windows, OS/2. It wasn't particularly bad, but it was very literal in display and Acrobat/PDF rapidly left it in the dust.

When the web boomed in 1995–1996 the product group behind BookManager tried to ban distribution of PDFs by other IBM groups but failed. One of the problems with BookManager formatted files is you had to recreate the appropriate record format if you transferred it back to a mainframe, and I vaguely recall EBCDIC vs ASCII issues (where PDF is, I think, UTF native?).

Contrary to that we need drugs in many situations in life. There are the obvious examples where you need opiates for alleviation of extreme pain and the less obvious ones like using stimulants to help manage ADHD but there are many other medical and non medical reasons. Caffeine and alcohol are both useful in daily life but I believe many other drugs could be similarly useful if properly adopted into social norms. Yes there will always be cases of abuse but our effort should be on helping those individuals to recover rather than enforcing a blanket ban that does much more harm. In fact, I believe that many of the people who become addicts would not if they lived in a society where there were social structures that allowed them to use the appropriate drugs in the right amounts to help them function in their daily lives.

rizz is plastered all over tiktok.
Multi-agent-setups with LLMs (AutoGPT for example) were hyped some weeks ago. And OpenAI with their specialized Bots(?) or what they introduced recently goes in the same direction.
Supporting half a billion constant users around the world, and staff dealing with local artists and bands from almost every single country. Even outside of engineering they need a ton of support staff — starting from marketing to lawyers. Every country is fairly different as well when it comes to “music style”, so there’s a significant tailoring I would say.

They’re doing whatever they’re doing pretty well as well. It’s basically the only subscription service at this point I wouldn’t consider to get rid of.
> "We hired for the sake of hiring when money was cheap and we wanted to signal 'growth'...

But that's the whole point of modern day life. Any benefit we have gotten we never looked critically what was the cost. It is only at discomfort and disruption we gain this great self-awareness of the world.

They did disservice in same sense if we consider giving job in people is some service to employees.
How's that? Does plugging in a fridge require a permit? As long as the EVSE is plugged into an outlet like any other appliance, it's just an appliance. Your jurisdiction may require a permit for installing the outlet in the first place, but I've never heard of one where plugging an appliance into the outlet does.

Anyway, how many DIY EVSEs start fires? It's a glorified extension cord, not exactly rocket science, and as long as the builder applies a modicum of sense to choosing the components and wire gauges inside, and torques the connectors and stuff, there's really not much going on in there that should produce heat in the first place.

Also, this isn't a charger. It's an EVSE, there's no power electronics inside. There's a contactor, that's it, no silicon in the power path. It's really hard to screw it up.

Perhaps I'm just accustomed to the Hackaday comment section, but HN commenters are weirdly terrified of anything involving AC. It's just electricity. Not even very much of it, like, normal household levels of 240v AC. My clothes dryer uses more power, and it pulls it over wiring installed in the 1970's. Heck, when I moved, I even replaced the cord on my own dryer with one that matches the outlet in this house, an action explicitly allowed and encouraged by the access plate on the back of the appliance. The bare cords are sold at Home Depot and they come with a little slip of paper explaining how any homeowner can install them.

It's fine. It's just wire. Pick one that's thick enough, torque the screws, it's fine.

Can you elaborate? Seriously curious how that exactly would look like.
You can't get ahead if you get dragged down the bottom all the time, though. However, the chance of outsized success in the US if you make it, is larger though. I guess because of access to a larger market, but probably cultural factors, too.
? If you are hired by a architect and a company is downsizing, its actually a recommendation. Your software works- it needs less people for maintenance then for growth. And at a company thats stagnating and going into survival mode- your skills will not be needed except for the last ditch pivots (which will be a architectural mess).
Once more from the the top - to be let go in a software role from such a company, is a recommendation.
But robberies in stores and bipping (seen in the next one he made) does not seem to be happening in bad areas, is that right?

The space of "real" options in IAM is small enough that hallucination is not a real problem.

Makes me think of when in a trading context I was advised that Russia had moved soldiers close to the borders of Ukraine, some other customers had taken highly leveraged trading positions, and a while later that invasion began, and all the second order effects in the market took place.

If they produce the podcast they don't have to pay royalties + they've aimed for exclusivity with them. They aren't going to have exclusivity with most music, so podcasts are an opportunity to bring in a new audience and lock them in.

That's, AIUI, the theory. Whether it works in practice is another story.
What is the benefit of using TNS, which looks like a new protocol requiring specific HW ? versus using Ethercat for example which has similar cycle time I believe.

I am not familiar with ROS 2, there is only a DDS backend and no ethercat backend ?

It seems at least one company is looking to this approach :
https://www.adlinktech.com/en/software-ethercat-ros2-amr-dev...

OK I see the point if you have a slow ROS2 implementation that is up to the task you can use a dedicated FPGA HW to implement RTPS under DDS to get more predictable timings.

(And this is how a new standard was born)

not just natural language interface, ai-generated audio, video, narratives, crafted by data-mining your life, then deep manipulation by constantly trying different stimuli and learning which ones trigger what behavior and pull you deeper into the desired alternate reality.
You hit the nail on the head. If you are in a job hunting drought outreach like this is like a mirage. It looks so good. It can be really emotionally draining as you realize that it's not targeted outreach but automated scraping.

It's important to not take it personally, but when I was doing really, really badly things like this were very upsetting to me. I'm doing a lot better, I can see why some people get riled up about it. I'm thankful I'm in a place where I don't WANT to rage about it anymore... but clearly there's still something because I'm on here writing huge paragraphs.

YMMV. Job hunting sucks, I don't think there's an easy answer or solution on either side of this fence.

Curiosity (in this context) is a Loss function based on the error between the observed next state and agent's prediction of the next state given the current state and an action.

The states are encoded in a feature space that ignores irrellivancies that don't effect and are out of the agent's control ( e.g. leaves blowing on trees )

Curiosity provides a method to learn this feature space from the raw pixel input via inverse dynamics.

The feature space is compact, relevant, sufficient, & stable which is ideal for RL.

This Curiosity Loss function entices the agent to explore states it has not been in and areas with complex dynamics.

These are states with high uncertainty which the agent reduces by becoming familiar with them.

This is a self-supervised method with no extrinsic human designed reward.

The agent aquires general knowledge about its enviroment and it is analagous to being curious.
Recent UK and German revisions radically changed the economic narratives. The UK revision moved from the worst performing economy of the G7 with a shrinking economy to a growing economy. German revisions reclassified it's economy as in recession.

[citation needed]. A decapitation strike doesn't just remove the leader, it needs to remove the whole (or a significant part) of the government. Additionally Russia likely wanted to replace it with a puppet.

Innovate to grow, if growth is the objective. For example, they could better serve the audiophile market with higher quality offerings. Not as much growth there though.

I am thinking of the amount of cost & effort to make such videos. Light, multiple cameras, editing, make-up (not kidding), sound, mics.. making promo videos is NOT an easy feat.

I think transparency has far more to do with the distrust than any media. Governments got used to being duplicitous hypocrites for generations. The fact government response is to immediately circle their wagons and resist any efforts to become more trustworthy proves they have well-earned their distrust, and no amount of doom and gloom over the dangers of lack of trust will fix that.
Ask HN: What consumer tech do you predict will be the next "big thing"?

I like this approach, I've always thought that IaC could be generated by scanning application code. Although I share the skepticism that IAM is the best place to start.

I'm curious though how well an LLM performs for newly released AWS services? This is where I've experienced the most arcane IAM definitions personally, but I wonder if GPT 4 is trained well enough on newer sources.
I dropped Spotify when they started to push more podcasts on my home feed as well.

Instructional video instead of step-by-step text is a personal pet peeve. I know it's a lot easier to just record a video to show something like "how to replace the battery on a cordless vacuum" or "removing a sink basin nut" but it's often such a painful experience for consumption (watch a moment, pause, scrub back and watch again, pause, continue, pause, all with potentially gloved hands often in tight working spaces).
It’s almost all from sugarcane in Canada, crude juice is extracted in places like Brazil and refined in Canada.

You can chew out the sugar or cocaine if you like.

European acquaintances often poke fun at our North American wood frame construction, noting their concrete houses are stronger and "will last for centuries." Are they wrong? I know there are a lot of stone buildings that had excellent longevity but those are made of large stone blocks instead of reinforced concrete. And that's just walls, floors in old houses are usually spanned by wood beams (there goes the wood again).

Three reasons unions will probably not catch on among programmers are

(1) Programmer productivity varies greatly, making a common pay scale a bad fit.

(2) Programmers often work remotely. It's not like a factory where striking workers stand outside and intimidate replacement workers.

(3) Unionization in the private sector has fallen steadily in the U.S. as unionized companies have tended to be less competitive. For example, GM went bankrupt in 2009. Foreign companies building auto factories in the U.S. have located them in right-to-work states.
LOL at the people self-reporting how old they are by not knowing the word "rizz". It's been an immensely popular word among people under 30 for a while now, so I'm not surprised at all.
Considering Qatar (and thus by proxy Hamas and Iran) has access to global markets it’s not clear to me why the assumption here is that these moves came from Israeli leadership and not the more likely source… those planning the slaughter who also wanted to benefit economically and not just in blood.
Scheme has sandboxing in the form of environments. You can evaluate[0] / load[1] untrusted code by applying an environment specifier[2] with all of the symbols you trust the code to use. For example, if you don't want the code to be able to use IO, simply don't add (scheme read) and (scheme write) to the environment that you eval / load the code with.

I have a hard time following the logic here.

"Natives" (wut?) start 3 wars with the explicit goal to exterminate an entire nation. They lose all the wars they started (which comes with losing some territory, which is often the case when one loses a war) and that's somehow the fault of the country under attack?

So the winning party was supposed to give the losing party extra land for their effort of attempting to exterminate them or what is the idea here?
This also adds to the cost. You start looking at 1-2k in equipment minimum for a good amount of space, and it adds up fast. Best way to get that more storage, but it's not cheap.

In what I've seen, this generally comes from top management, the board even in some cases. They set the agenda and approve budgets for everything the company does.

They do, but they are often blind, due to fog of war, of what actually happens in their firm.

Middle management controls that - by deciding on what kind of line-work (which they have visibility over) gets rewarded or prioritized. If the line engineers are spinning their wheels, doing architecture-astonaut nonsense for the sake of promotion, that's not because the CTO is rewarding it - it's because their 100-person director (who should at least vaguely know what each of their reports is doing this year) is.
Ugh. Other than heat dome and prompt, every single one of those words feels like they have been pulled from the TikTok vocabulary.

As the article goes to great lengths to point out, the trades in EIS weren't random. They represented the second highest spike in short trades in the ETF behind April of this year, when it was predicted that Hamas would attack on the eve of Passover. It's difficult to argue that this surge was merely coincidence or statistical noise.

As for the Israeli public at large being informed about these attacks and knowing precisely when they would occur, it would seem they were as astonished as anyone. Whomever made these short trades on Oct 2nd were likely only a handful of informed parties. That's the component of this I'd love to know. Could the SEC determine where these trades originated and were they within a Pro-Hamas country like Lebanon, Iran or... Saudi Arabia? Or did it originate within the intelligence community, acting in bad faith?
