The engineered stone is almost entirely silica.

> Hoy said that long before stonecutters started struggling to breathe, the sheer amount of silica in many kinds of engineered stone — upwards of 90% — should have made it obvious that the material was risky to cut and grind, especially in workplaces without sophisticated measures to control dust.(1)

> But scientists and regulators have grown concerned about whether recommended strategies such as wet cutting, proper ventilation and wearing respirator masks can do enough to protect workers from dust so high in silica. Cal/OSHA officials have generally described silicosis as preventable, but also caution that with 93% silica(2) content, “safe use of engineered stone may not be possible” even with proper workplace practices.(1)

How does it compare to GPT-4 ?
I can’t imagine that regenerative braking would be a thing. If this kind of craft makes it into service, regulations are going to require a “fully” charged battery before beginning the final approach to handle the chance of an aborted landing. So when the plane touches down successfully, it won’t need the electricity.

Charging during descent is much more likely to be some sort of air brake generator. You can imagine, though, that a well-done “electric take off assist” would be seen as a safety improvement.
> air, water

If all the water on mars were melted, it would cover the planet in 100ft of water [1]. With the safe assumption of any kind of water recycling, and indoor habitats, there's plenty of water on mars, which also means there's plenty of oxygen on mars (along with the 95% CO2). The atmosphere is 3% nitrogen, and 1.6% argon, which means there's plenty of air on mars. You don't have to fill the sky with air, just the buildings.

Effective and manifested power cannot be reined in. A power that is reined in is only as powerful as its reined in form. Most likely, there wasn't any power to start with and it's just a stupid conspiracy theory...

You can imagine yourself or your tribe or your political party to have absolute power. You can imagine Big Brother, or the Illuminati, or the Teletubbies to have power... It's not True! Today, nobody has absolute power! Let's hope we can either keep it that way or share power amongst ourselves.
Absolutely. Working on a "ships to" filter and enhancing the 'price' filter.

Thank you for such a well-rounded reply. After my initial question I did read down through all the comments, and read a lot more about 6502 vs. 6800. It was a fascinating read.

I completely agree with your comment about "community matters". You could really see this in the demo scene for the C64 (as well as the games programming world).

My friend's older brother had a ZX Spectrum, which I lusted after (mostly for the games). I was still too young to really "get" assembly, and it was only really when I got to the end of high school that I got into it.

BBCs were very rare here in Aus, but I did pore over a magazine column that featured them. I vaguely remember the Tube being mentioned.
>I am gonna surprise you, but nobody from cybersecurity is finding vulnerabilities either.

Well, no. I work in "cybersecurity" and my day job is literally finding vulnerabilities.
We apparently live in very different societies.

Of course a random Indonesian would know Indian, Chinese, and French presidents, and vice versa. Young people I see hype up Korean bands. Chinese, Japanese, German, French and Indian companies are well known and highly influential (Ant, Tata, Huawei, all car brands, Samsung, Sony, Nintendo, …). Who are US filmmakers that are more known than non-US ones, Spielberg and Nolan?

Your experience is obviously vastly different. Let’s just not state it as fundamental truth.

Ya because people have to go to work and such. I've been in countless tornado watches and days that could have spawned a tornado. Some years this covers a significant amount of spring. It's difficult to always maintain an eye on that.

And I've been involved in tornadoes on days where there was zero risk of the event. Surprise you're getting a tornado out of a totally random storm that was not predicted.

I agree for the most part, but there is also the other side which is how useful it can be. If you fine tune your model on anime girls, it becomes a very useful model for generating anime girls and perhaps it's now worse at drawing stick figures or cave paintings, but a lot of people don't need the model to draw stick figures or cave paintings and if they did, they could get a model fine tuned to do that.

On the LLM side, there's a similar phenomenon where a huge amount of training could be on SEO spam tags, or /r/counting or producing nonsense or generating obfuscated C or reciting excerpts of Shakespeare word for word, etc.

If what you're measuring is generally more useful then you can end up with a better model using these methods, likely at the cost worse performance on things that you aren't measuring.

I would gladly take a 10b parameter coding assistant that doesn't know how to write in iambic pentameter or recite digits of pi, or translate words from Swahili to Turkish etc. but is much better at code completion.
All: I sincerely appreciate the time spent sharing feedback. Your notes and comments are helpful and give me tools to be a better writer .

Regarding the screenshots, I am not a fan of this approach. We adopted it because of the early trend to share ChatGPT screenshots, and to ensure people could see the origin of our prompting (the web interface).

I will start a discussion about screenshots with the team. This can be better.

I will also discuss the layout, too. Machine learning and AI is difficult enough. To the extent to which we can focus attention on the most important part of the page — the content — we should.

Thank you again for your notes! I appreciate it.

I disagree. I think inspecting the output from Qualys (and other tools, including SAST) are substantially and manifestly different from inspecting Kubernetes logs.

I would worry the argument about "highly skilled SREs" could become a "true Scotsman" argument. If a business has any persons who are skilled enough and plentiful enough to process all of the security output and take action on them, let it be so.

My experience is that in practice, there are not the resources to process all of the output that the tools generate. Do you have experience to the contrary where this has been done at a company scale or is your argument a theoretical one that you believe stands to reason?

Yes, VS has been terribly slow all the years. Having 64g RAM doesn’t always help much. Rider is fine on 16g, though the most recent release turned a bit sluggish after updating the SDK from RC2 to final, likely something misconfigured on my machine.

Uh, I was doing other things the other 159.5 hours a month.
Reaction: Problem is poorly defined.

You could easily make a "PB&J assembly machine" with 1950's factory technology - uniform slices of Wonder Bread go into the hopper, peanut butter goes into the first extrusion feeder, jelly goes into the second extrusion feeder, and the assembled sandwiches come out on a conveyor belt.

Vs. a "real sci-fi" robot has to cope with a wide variety of bread types & loaf shapes (perhaps cutting the bread), then various sort of containers for peanut butter, then peanut butters of various consistencies - including spreading very thick, cold peanut butter on thin & fragile bread slices. Oh - and it's got to cope with a new jar of "natural" peanut butter - unscrew the top, remove the tamper-proof seal, and mix up the separated oil & peanuts.
I'm sorry, but I have to question where this heartfelt story about looking out for your wife is in any way real?

>> Very nice! I like how the state of the game is directly available in the URL

I did this same thing with Othello back in 1994 and have been wondering why it never caught on.

I used a CGI program to generate the board. Playable squares were links so the pointer would change. The script made your move, figured out the AI move and spit out the board with a timed reload feeding its own move in. Totally stateless other than the URL.

This one is prettier, but a little less smart. Nicely done!

> Software timelines are notoriously hard to forecast

Perhaps. Of course, we all know for a certainty that this had almost nothing to do with you're describing. The people how were actually designing the software knew that it won't happen in six months. I doubt Musk wasn't aware of that, so the only alternative that he was lying.
Due to lack of tech work I've been installing stone countertops. I can confirm we cut on site around half the time, microplastics galore (you can smell the polyester in the air).
A bit off-topic from the original thread, but if you use a Debit card (only validated on the Visa network) it's possible for a merchant to issue an "Advice" without any kind of Authorization (or even after a failed Authorization) in which they will debit your account even if you lack the funds.

Your only option there (as a banking provider) is to debit the account (even if it causes the balance to go negative) or eat the loss, and then manually dispute the charge.

It's not (yet) clear to me who ends up responsible for this -- but I suspect it's the bank side.
My guess is that it allows the prosecution of both the forger and the one who uses the forgery, the utterer I suppose, in cases where they are different individuals.
I somewhat agree but I think your signalling factor is wrong. I don't think a high engineer count is the sign for whether or not the company needs a design system. I think it's the number of active products being developed. If you have 10 engineers working on 1 product I would agree that you don't need a design system. If you have 10 engineers building 3 products with a planned 4th future product a design system would be helpful.

I am working on a project due to a recent lay off, and holiday seasons the worst to land interviews it feels like, was using DRF, but might check out Django Ninja to compare.

The only thing I didn't like about DRF was the documentation felt like it needed a little more massaging when I used it some years back. I guess you could say this of any project really.

So if you employ a software developer you can’t expense their salary?

Let’s say I hire a dev for $100k/yr and my product does $100k in revenue which just covers the developer’s salary. I have $0 left in the bank but owe tax on $80k in profit in the first year, is that correct or am I completely misunderstanding?
Most European countries are close to the US and are probably not statistically different.

I agree with much of the criticism of the video, but I was left with one major question.

Why did we design a system where Orion does not have enough delta-v to achieve a circularized low lunar orbit?

Seems like you should just wear a dust mask
so you agree that it is cheaper and better to ask SRE team to run BurpSuite for 30 minutes once a week, rather than hiring FTE to do that?
Sure, agree in this case.

But the point is that we are all equally capable of being wrong. Especially when we step outside our area of expertise. CEOs are just another type of expert but their domain is organization. We have to consider the source’s experience relative to the domain in question before we can decide if their prediction is trustworthy.

This dichotomy sounds on point, but it's not.

Software has distinct functional requirements for which you can test in a concrete way, either at a technical level, within a business, or in a competitive way in the marketplace. It's therefore possible to know what's "good" or "not" and in many cases to know who is a "good software engineer" or not.

Cybersecurity isn't like that. It's often hard to tell valuable cybersecurity practices from useless ones, because it's almost impossible to test them, and the practice of defense-in-depth means that useless activities are often piled on top of useful ones.

The target for cybersecurity should be "just good enough", but there's no feedback because "just good enough" has the same outcome as "pointless vendor quackery cargo cult review hell" for the objective function.
However if Starlink can't compete with mobile broadband in medium (and sometimes even lower than that) density areas they don't really have much of a market. While there are certainly quite a few people in the developed world living in remote areas who don't have any better options for > 50/5 Mbps besides Starlink are there really enough of them to justify such a massive investment?
Sorry my comment wasn’t clear, lots of Americans pick up their cellphone, as I do, and yes it’s not safe, even when done rarely.
This is also why you can end up with an extended hold on a deposited check.

Consider for example personal check issued between banks in two countries. There may not be a formal complete resolution process, so funds are released to you only after your bank is reasonably certain that the other bank is going to honor it, or more likely, not going to ask for it back.
Ask HN: Former employer still shows me as an employee. Do I have rights?
Four and a half years ago I separated from an employer but they are still showing me as an active employee (not paying me though). Are there any benefits I can exploit because their HR department didn't do their job?
Yes exactly.

It was a common trope in Holland when I was young. When people were asked what they'd bring if the house were on fire... The photos.
I don't see how "offensive" is involved here. I am not offended by them. I simply disagree with their conclusions, which I believe are the result of fairly typical social and cognitive errors.

Personally, I am neither convinced nor entertained by the group fantasy of AI apocalypse that entrances and motivates the safetyists. They want to save the world. They'll be very special if they do so. They also manage to play a special role by getting into the room where AI is made. That is, they aspire to be the priests of a dangerous AI god, and they only matter if they convince us of the danger. Some people accord them that role of priest, but I don't.

I'm not aware of the "do-something-ism" word, but I can imagine that both school shootings and some proposals to prevent them could be bad in different ways. Just because something must be done, doesn't mean that any particular thing urged upon us by policy makers is the right thing to do.
Outside of truly rural areas the question with fiber is how long is the payback period, not "will it be profitable". Especially if deployment is integrated with routine highway re-pavement projects (roads need torn up and redone roughly every 30 years, after all), the majority of the cost becomes the fiber bundles themselves - perfect for even a smaller county or city government to handle with a modest bond issue.

Sources needed. For example, the hottest tech co. paying $1m comp packages, OpenAI. Is leadership from the Bay Area? No, it was the brightest people, from St. Louis, North Dakota, Albania / Canada, Russia / Israel. You can take a look at all the top tech co's and top brass in the Bay Area, it will be like 80% transplants. The brightest didn't start the next best tech co in Missouri or Albania.

I created Sono [1]. It’s a debt manager app. I created it because in the past every time I lent or borrowed money, I used to note that in a text file. Eventually the file became really long and hard to manage. With Sono I just need to record the transaction whenever I borrow or lent money, it’ll help me to keep track of the debts. I learnt Flutter and built it in a year. Then I thought that maybe I could let other people use it and see how it goes :))

That answers the first part, not the second. What force would push tech companies to accelerate their pace of innovation, necessitating a larger workforce?

I'm not seeing a surge of customers demanding new essential features on the horizon. We've gone through several bubbles with no deflation over the past few years.

I expect big companies can keep up their pace of innovation while continuing to layoff through efficiency/consolidation/depreciation efforts (which shareholders will love). Small tech companies will get closer to the norm of small-businesses, needing an efficient and effective business strategy for funding - there will be fewer new players, each running tighter ships. Zombie start-ups will continue folding over several years, freeing up more labor.

What are the systemic signs pointing to a need for more labor within the tech industry?
