If you remove the AI glasses, "prompt engineering" is just typing words and seeing if results match the expectations... which is exactly what any search engine pays their testers for. Those testers are making an important job to keep improving the quality of the product but they aren't engineers and even less so researchers.

Similarly a kid playing with the dose of water needed to build a sandcastle isn't a civil engineer nor an environmental researcher. Maybe on LinkedIn though.

Can I ask how much of that time you were in a relationship for? I have a theory that men who achieve a steady, loving relationship early that allows them to do what you did have a huge advantage.

I did the 12 hour days and all nighters too but I eventually got lonely and needed to spend a few years learning how to be social and find a relationship. Now I've found that I'm able to resume the many hours of work and it definitely seems to pay dividends. But I wouldn't be able to do it if I was preoccupied with sex and relationships.

Right. For example, the built-in Netflix app wouldn't launch until I unblocked some Samsung-specific domain, despite Netflix itself not being blocked. So it was kind of like test feature > unblock domain > retest feature until everything worked with fewer/no ads on the dashboard.

>“We believe that the threat actor may have then, in violation of our terms of service, accessed 23andme.com accounts without authorization and obtained information from those accounts.”

It's funny that they had to note "without authorization".
Most terms of service include automatic acceptance of future changes, so if you continue to use the service the terms apply to the past too.

“23andMe may make changes to the Terms at any time. If we make a material change to the Terms, we will notify you, such as by posting a notice on our website or sending a message to the email address associated with your account.

All things aside, it's a framework for building data workflows in Python.

Like taking the data from that source (e.g., SQL), processing them (e.g., pytorch or openai), and storing the results somewhere (e.g., data on Mongo metadata on SQL).

It actually consists of the following:
1. nifty abstractions for Data (e.g., sources, encoders, listeners), Metadata (e.g., vector indexes), Compute (e.g., sync, async, parallel).
2. gluing engine that transparently handles the interaction between components
3. out-of-the-box integrations with established tools (databases, AI models and APIs, compute engines)

This way, you can build customized data layers that sit on top of your database and save you from moving the data to dedicated systems (e.g., vector databases or MLops tools)

This is a strange one.. I honestly don't see how Mozilla are at fault here, regardless of their practices of hiring people with Unions for example, I'm not sure they can be forced to hire someone who on a qualification level is fine but who might not be a fit for the companies morals. I don't know how the labor board plans to prove this one.. I suppose it will be interesting to see what comes out of the subpoenas though, always amazes me how blatant people can be on electronic recorded communications.
I've read stuff from insiders that the foundation spending grows exponentially year-after-year and they use those scare banners that "wikipedia is under threat" to collect more money and grow even more, the money is completely unrelated to hosting the site. This is a recent article from a year ago:

> but how can a house not be a wealth store?

The same way that a car is not a wealth store, but is, instead, a wealth pit.

Different tax or zoning rules, 99-year-land-leases, etc, can very well turn housing as a whole from a speculative investment into what it ought to be - a depreciating, but necessary-for-life asset.
This is the same reason i've stopped answering and asking questions on stack overview, except the toxic culture is coming from the moderators.
At least for me, this is what I've considered as the mass surveillance threat model the entire time - both for government and corporate surveillance. I've never thought some tie-wearing deskizen was going to be particularly interested in me for "arrest", selling more crap, cancelling my insurance policies, etc. I've considered such discrete anthropomorphic narratives as red herrings used for coping (similar to how "I have nothing to hide" posits some focus on a few specific things, rather than big brother sitting on your shoulder continuously judging you in general). Rather I've always thought of the threat actor as algorithmic mass analytics performed at scale, either contemporarily or post-hoc on all the stored data silos, with resulting pressure applied gradually in subtle ways.

"it doesn't make people feel heard" isn't a real emotion, it includes a judgement about the AI. According to "Nonviolent Communication" p235; "unheard" speaks towards the feelings "sad, hostile, frustrated" and the needs "understanding" & "consideration". Everyone agrees AI would be more efficient, but people are concerned that the AI will not be able to make contextual considerations based on a shared understanding of what it's like to live a human life.

> the optimum free market strategy if there is no government is to hire hitmen to assassinate the executives of competidor companies

There's a huge difference between opposing regulation and permitting murder. Equating the two is a strawman, given that there are a large number of people who oppose various regulations and very few who would want to legalize murder.
Wikipedia has grown to be a PR outlet. It's overwhelmed by different interest groups pushing their own agenda or doing PR. Especially smaller Wikipedias, like for example German, are known for defamation campaigns against “unpopular” authors and topics.

And before someone cries "citation needed" I'll add just one link to satisfy the requirements: https://swprs.org/wikipedia-and-propaganda/

Though the source, although worth reading and providing a valid criticism, may not be good enough, since Wikipedia, the main source of truth on Internets, marks it as a misinformation website.
As we've seen, genocide has become a recent term for almost any kind of warfare. It used to have a much more narrowly defined usage that was accordingly more meaningful.

Caesar's goal in Gaul was certainly not the extermination of its people or its culture. He wanted to pacify Gaul and Germany, for his own glory, but also for very legitimate self-defense reasons. And the Romans, as a rule, were famously tolerant of other people's national pride, customs, and religions.

And of course, the Gaul and German tribes were at least as brutal to each other as Caesar was to them. The entire region was filled with constantly warring tribes that would often commit something much closer to actual genocide. Caesar, and the later Romans, did a lot to reduce this internecine warfare.

The reality of these kinds of events is a lot more nuanced than a simple label like "genocide" will allow.
The whole automation and overzealous less leeway/common sense interpretations have as we have seen, many an automated traffic/parking ticket come into question.

Applying that to many walks of life, say farming, could well see chaos and a whole new interpretation to the song "Old McDonald had a farm, AI AI oh", it's gone as McDonald is in jail for numerous permit, environmental and agricultural regulations that saw produce cross state lines deeming it more serious a crime as he got buried in automated red-tape.
With centrally managed dynamic pricing, we can subsidize parking directly for low-income people, instead of just subsidizing everyone in the city (which of course leads to crap like Parking Panda, where the rich can just pay someone to squat spots at their convenience).

Further, the places where a system like this is cost effective is a place where the revenue can go toward implementing meaningful public transit. Having a car shouldn't be table stakes for being able to provide for your kid in a metropolitan area.
No, if you remove either corporations or governments from the equation, the remaining thing will morph and split to recreate this. Corporations aren't fixed in stone - a sufficiently powerful one may be indistinguishable from a dictatorship, but it'll also evolve the same way.
Most of the really cool things on the interwebs started just like this.

Kudos and carry on!
The unfortunate thing with the whole drag-coefficient game is it ultimately results in fish-shaped cars and zero unique designs.

Between EVs and crossovers we're suffocating in this current era of uninspired automotive design where it seems like mfgrs take a single car model, open it in Photoshop, resize by 50/70/110/130%, slap on new badge and call it a day. Audi & Subaru are some of the worst modern offenders here.
> They have increased revenue from non-search deals significantly (56M -> 75M, up one third).

I'd love to feel optimistic about an increase in non-Google revenue, but 19M when the CEO alone is paying herself 7M of that alongside a 85M increase in expenses... it's still pretty hard to see it as a net positive here.

& of course the headline of this HN post is declining usage - that trumps profit either way imo
FF's TTS is an important project for anyone who wants a trivial to use text-to-speech system. It's built into the browser so you can just run

wss = window.speechSynthesis;
for (let i = 0; i < wss.getVoices().length; ++i){
str = `Voice ${i} is ${wss.getVoices()[i].name}`;
s = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(str);
s.voice = wss.getVoices()[i];
wss.speak(s);
console.log(str);
}

in the console to get various TTS examples. For some browsers, this can be done offline while others use a cloud based TTS system.

> subscription is a significantly fairer revenue model for software which undergoes regular upgrades and has support

I could not disagree more. Subscriptions for software are a deeply unfair approach. Great for the companies, of course, but not for users.

A more fair approach is to charge for upgrades and support instead. At least that way, users only pay if/when they choose to obtain additional value.

Flawed logic. Lowering the speed limit does not reduce the time spent on the road, yet fewer people die.
I worked pretty hard in my 20s as well, but always in a comfy way. I never pulled all nighters, I luckily worked in markets where there wasn't much need for that. I could make myself work late evenings, but never past when I wanted to sleep. If I was tired the next evening, I'd turn in early. I would say the thing that made it work was not having kids, and having autonomy over when to work and when to take it easy. I can honestly say I learned more in those years than ever before or since.

My housemate worked in investment banking, much longer hours than me, with a fair bit of pressure to be awake when you want to be sleeping. The kind of job where you don't do much during the day, the MD comes in at 6pm, and tells you to make 100 slides by the next day, which he then doesn't use for a couple of days despite the juniors having stayed up all night. Grinding, and all the people who did it got visibly heavier.
Is there something fundamental that breaks when information is allowed to be destroyed?
I've worked on ETL integrations in the past where there's an API for service A that's read-only and an API for service B that's write-only, service A is provided by a third-party vendor (so you're not exactly going to get the vendor's code to alter or fork it) and politically the people who work on the integration are different from the people who are responsible for service B; the integrators neither have permission to make alterations to service B nor will they get service B engineers to take backlog items to integrate read functionality or otherwise integrate with the vendor for service A directly. The integrators simply need to build a completely separate integration that lives outside of service A and service B to ETL from service A into service B.

If service A is in one cluster, and service B is in another cluster, where billing is per-cluster, in which cluster do you put the ETL integration? It belongs to either both or neither, depending on how Finance wants to bill it.

I've observed this phenomenon for a while. The people deleting these pretty much do nothing else. They are some how considered valuable contributors. Something I've mocked loudly. The effect is that some topics/categories have wild outgrowth of articles even the best of us would doubt necessary but certainly wouldn't care enough to attempt to delete it. Every popstar, every album, every song on the album, covers of it, each their own article. It would be wild if STEM editors got the memo.

Who the hell would not want an article about a tractor company? Tractor are more important than discography. It gets even more stupid if we assume your articles really needed work. Who is to do the work if it is not allowed?

They should just ban the deletionists starting with the ones who didn't contribute a single sentence for years. Filling talk pages with nothing that creates articles.

The worse case I've seen was a guy creating articles about (mostly old) books for many years followed by this giant caravan of deletionists who sometimes deleted the article immediately, sometimes after a week, sometimes a month, sometimes they exchanged troll messages among their own for a whole year. Eventually they deleted the articles faster than he created them with ever cheaper excuses until eventually the person creating them was the excuse for deletion. Thousands of articles gone, all good articles. I know all of the guidelines, I know when it should be good enough.

You could also have bought a heated seat warmer seat cover*, or taken it to an independent service shop to have them install heated seats. Buying a different car was just the solution you choose. Having the hardware but having to pay for it in software wrankles those with a Marxist understanding of value and pricing things, but most of us don't live in such a world.

You need to have an actual safety net. Like 1-2 years worth of living expenses. Especially if you're a man and/or if you can't easily live a few months with friends/parents, etc.

At the very least with everquest (iirc) npcs would sometimes use their loot. I recall tanks occasionally letting the rest of the raid know what weapon drop the boss had on them because they were seeing a different damage type (pierce, slash, bludgeon instead of hit) and the boss was known to sometimes drop a certain piercing weapon (for example).

That being said, I can totally think of a few ways to get around that. It's like you said, the client doesn't really need to know until the enemy is looted.

[Actually, the one exception that I can think of is that rogues can pickpocket certain loot. And while pinging the server to generate loot once the npc is dead feels like it shouldn't be a major problem, having to ping the server to generate loot while the npc is still alive does make the system architect in me feel a bit more nervous ... at the very least for systems as they were when EQ first came out.]
It's also great to see others trusting a servicing shop that customers are forced to use no matter how sloppy or incompetent their work.
Funny that your optimum free market strategy is murder. A market where murder is a legitimate strategy is anything but free. In fact a good litmus test as to the freedom of a market (or any social structure) is the legitimacy of murder.

Comparing murder to antitrust therefore seems to be a pretty weak argument. Deontological libertarians would view the use of force required to enforce antitrust as authoritarian overreach. They would see no moral justification in the enforcement of arbitrary limitations on the voluntary transactions of consenting parties. They would see these as tyrannical.

This stems from a core disagreement about the nature of society. Some people see it a as a collective project for the good of all participants (the sticky points being the definition of "good", and the non-optionality of "collective"). Others see it as simply an agreement to coexist peacefully and cooperate only voluntarily, while embracing the Darwinian nature of said coexistence.

Each side is well meaning I'm sure, but I find it hard to reconcile these two worldviews.
