Did your boss tell you that? Look at a graph of productivy versus wages over the last 50 years. We should be working 15 hours a week, like our prehistoric ancestors did.

We're killing the planet. Thousands of species are being lost. Infinite growth is a lie that is literally going to kill us. It has to stop. This isn't metaphysical or philosophical, it's life and death.
Many cars are lidar,, but they use much stronger, bigger, and higher power lasers, on very expensive and precise rotator assemblies.

The L515 I mentioned was somewhat advanced at least for it's day because it used MEMS to steer its light source. That gave it leading class performance/size but it's still big and kinda hot-ish. Maybe we can keep scaling that kind of system performance to smaller sizes but even this package was pretty cutting edge & gave much better falloff than many competing systems, and was still largely an indoor sensor.
That directly contradicts a position the article takes and supports with citations.

One contributing factor to the play-like quality of hunter-gatherer work is that the work was not excessive. According to several quantitative studies, hunter-gatherers typically devoted about 20 hours per week to hunting or gathering and another 10 to 20 hours to chores at the campsite, such as food processing and making or mending tools (e.g. Lee, 1972; Sahlins, 1972 ). All in all, the research suggests, hunter-gatherer adults spent an average of 30 to 40 hours per week on all subsistence-related activities combined, which is considerably less than the workweek of the typical modern American, if the American’s 40 or more hours of paid employment is added to the hours spent on domestic chores.

One anthropologist, Marshall Sahlins (1972), famously characterized hunter-gatherer societies collectively as “the original affluent society.” An affluent society, by Sahlins’s definition, is one in which “people’s material wants are easily satisfied.” Hunter-gatherers were affluent not because they had so much, but because they wanted so little. They could provide for those wants with relatively little work, and, as a result, had lots of free time, which they spent, according to one observer of the Ju/’hoansi (Shostak, 1981), at such activities as “singing and composing songs, playing musical instruments, sewing intricate bead designs, telling stories, playing games, visiting, or just lying around and resting.”
> also, 25,000 hours in 15 years? what kind of rookie lazy piece of shit numbers are those? [...]

Since we're bashing dumb comments with dumb comments, the Twitter comment is actually saying:

over 25,000 hours

Assuming

- 5 weeks of vacation each year
- 8 hours of work, 5 days a week

That's

(52 - 5) * 5 days * 8 hours * 15 years = 28.200 hours

If he worked any harder than that, that's still over 25,000 hours.
It's easier to get hired quickly in January. A lot of publicly traded companies that have their fiscal years aligned to calendar years institute hiring freezes in Q4 in order to make their annual financial statements look better. Plus a lot of the key internal recruiters and hiring managers take PTO in December so interviews and decisions get delayed. Activity tends to pick up again in January.

The internationally recognized State of Palestine is made up of two disjoint territories: Gaza and the West Bank. Israel gave peace a chance and left Gaza in 2005. The Palestinians immediately turned Gaza into a forward base and started attacking Israel. Israel only started the "blockade" (inspecting imports into Gaza) in 2007.
The "nerds" are having their say and arguing it out, mostly outside of the public view but the questions are too nuanced or technical for a general audience.

I'm not sure I see how the hype intrudes on that so much?

It seems like you have a bone to pick and it's about the attention being on Musk/Altman/etc. but I'm still not sure that "self-serving media pollution" is having that much of an impact on the people on the ground? What am I missing, exactly?

bruh.... this is clearly 'faschist' type of argument. "They deserve it". The dehumanizing of a whole population is just sick.

Last times this happen in europe were: 1) WW2, 2) The massacres in the Yogoslavian wars, and especially in Sebrenica which was a clear ethnic cleansning/genocide and the war leaders ended up getting convicted for war crimes and crimes against the humanity.

> There is a fundamental difference between your server returning data versus returning code.

If my server returns a bit of something, and then my application code running in the browser takes conditional action based on that return value, was it data or was it code?
This is a longer version of "Israel has the right to defend itself". Maybe Israel shouldn't exist but since it does I think we can agree it has a right to defend itself since if it doesn't innocents will be harmed/killed/raped.

That said, even in war, there are long established rules of engagement in war designed to protect (as possible) non-combatants. Israel is not respecting these rules at all. And beyond the insane death toll and indiscriminate bombing, Gazans are hungry and without water and shelter.

Of course, Israel should exercise restraint, especially since it's better armed and has such sophisticated intelligence. Now it's making itself a pariah (except in the US)
> One way in which I see this is that people move away from parents/relatives or outsource their care so that they can focus on their careers in middle age.

(Assuming they are paying for outsourcing their care), TFA would include that on the communal side of things, given explicit examples of immigrants sending money back home and black Rhodesian workers financially supporting their extended families.
Someone else might say the same about the Hamas attack on October 7th.
As the UN Secretary-General said, "This most recent violence does not occur in a vacuum. It stems from a long-standing conflict, a 56-year-long occupation, and the absence of a political solution in sight."[1]

Whichever side you are on (if any), responding to atrocities with further atrocities is not justifiable. It doesn't matter who commits these atrocities

Note the model is trained on data generated by GPT-4. It's probably orders of magnitude more expensive to generate the data at current API prices.

The whole point of these papers is that training data quality is key.

I would much prefer for these companies to release the training data than the weights. But that will never happen.

Under what standard is conduct like this acceptable?

“One of the soldiers said I looked like his nephew and that this nephew was killed in front of his grandmother who was taken hostage by Hamas and that the soldiers will slaughter us all,”

Those who dared to leave their homes for whatever vital errand were shot down in the streets by snipers.

“They made us empty out our bags on the floor and blocked us from picking up our money or our wives’ gold,” Nader recalls. “What little food we had, they also threw away. They took our money, IDs and phones.”

The men and teenage boys were taken to a warehouse where they sat on a bare floor covered in scattered grains of rice. There they were beaten, interrogated and verbally abused. There was no sleep, and the grains of rice cut their skin as they sat there, undressed.
Japan,Taiwan and south Korea as more examples. Japan has life sentences for opioid distribution/sale. Taiwan has mandatory 3 year sentencing simple possession of class 1 drugs (Opioids). South Korea also has very strict sentencing laws for opioid possession and usage ranging from 1 to 3 years. Most of laws were influenced by the Opium wars 100 years ago.
A union wouldn't push to move layoffs to January, they would push to prevent layoffs at all. Which is maybe what you're advocating, but not what the parent post was saying.
IDF kills more innocent people, woman and children (percentwise and in amount) than Hamas.
Disagree. It's better to get laid off after any paid holidays.
There's a response now on the hivekit blog that mentions this point: https://hivekit.io/blog/mesolithic-architecture/
> it was very unclear whether this would lead to a wider, joint attack by other forces as well

I agree that it's easy to discuss rationally from the outside.

Hamas is not a threat to Israeli existence. Without extensive and far superior outside help, Hamas could not hold a square meter of Israeli (non-Gazan) territory).

Do you have insight into why Israelis talk about an "existential" war? I'm not dismissing their feelings - WTF do I know? - but I think it goes beyond expected overreaction and the exaggerations of a few fringe figures.

(And obviously, existential or not, Israelis will not want to experience future attacks like this Oct 7.)
I don't think they miscalculated. Almost everything in this benefit them in almost every possible ways. The horrors of Gaza makes them almost look nice to the eyes of some (they never have been more popular in Palestine and in the world), and makes sure they will have no shortage of terrorists in the many years to come, among the innocent victims and their brothers and sons/orphans.
I don't imagine they care or didn't anticipate for those killing of innocent people.
Hasbro is essentially upside down, with huge losses across all their brands being subsidized by enormous growth from their subsidiary Wizards of the Coast. Even with that growth, they are significantly down.

There was a big investor push recently (led by Alta Fox) to get Hasbro to spin WotC out into an independent company [0], which failed. The big concern being that forcing growth on those properties (Magic: the Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons) to continue to support failed strategies with legacy properties could risk ruining those properties through mismanagement for short-term gains.

I really don't know where Hasbro goes from here. I don't think the toy market will ever recover, and the board game world has completely passed by properties like Monopoly. Chris Cocks, the CEO is the former head of WotC, so I'm hoping there is some level of understanding of stewardship of the WotC properties, but I'm really not confident. Even the recent D&D movie was disappointing from a business perspective (although surprisingly wonderful for fans). They also have a huge success in Baldur's Gate 3, although it is also disappointing from a monetization perspective. Even those recent lukewarm wins are within the WotC umbrella.

Yeah, leaving aside any "ruining the holidays" angle, it basically means you're adding an additional month before there's a point in doing much about even starting to look for a job.
Yes. Or at least here in Ireland
> I think if you look at actual class issues such as labor organization, healthcare, housing, public transportation, the adage of all US politicians being consevative stays (mostly) true

Australia is way ahead of the US at privatising public transport. Selling off public assets into private hands is a much bigger thing in the UK and Australia than the US. Some Australian states are now even privatising government services such as motor vehicle registration, driver licensing and land title registration. The UK and Australia also have a much bigger culture of commercialising government IP as opposed to the US culture of putting it in the public domain. People always think of the US as more capitalist, but I think these are examples of ways in which the US is less capitalist. Some of these Australian initiatives are almost bordering on anarcho-capitalism (sans the competition part). And they aren’t necessarily the work of “conservatives” - the decision to partially privatise the motor vehicle registry in the State of Victoria was undertaken by the Andrews government, [0] which is arguably the most left-leaning of Australian state governments, in charge of Australia’s most left-leaning state

If you give me two shitty options, I will propose an option not presented. Perhaps layoffs are inevitable (unsustainable business, for example, no way you can outrun negative cashflow sometimes), in which case very reasonable packages could be provided. There is no obligation today for that action. You overleveraged the business? You're getting fired, shares are going to zero, but the people who work for you aren't going to sitting at home crying through the holidays waiting for the job market to spin up in January. We might even claw some comp back if at all possible. Leaders eat last.

Note that GM cried in public they could not afford the UAW's demands, and once they agreed to said demands, they still did a $10B share buyback. Boo hoo. I'm simply tired of psychopaths in positions of power in the labor market.

My initial suspension is that this falls into the "In most cases it's not even an optimization" case, but do correct me if I'm wrong.

When you create a new Docker image with a recompiled Rust binary, only the last Docker layer will need to be downloaded to the device. Incremental caching means Docker won't re-download the base layer. The last layer is basically the new binary itself. So I don't see how it would be slower than copying the raw binary. But maybe I'm missing something.
Yes but this time we call it “distributed computing”or “edge computing” instead.
This seems like a sheets implementation of something like ChainForge (https://github.com/ianarawjo/ChainForge).

It's curious that Anthropic is entering the LLMOps tooling space ---this definitely comes as a surprise to me, as both OpenAI and HuggingFace seem to avoid building prompt engineering tooling themselves. Is this a business strategy of Anthropic's? An experiment? Regardless, it's cool to see a company like them throw their hat into the LLMOps space beyond being a model provider. Interested to see what comes next.
I think people in western countries have been a victim of our own successes, where we enjoy such a prosperous (relative to most of history) life that we now unwittingly afford the luxury of forgetting how raw human behavior actually works.

People don't start out being nice, altruistic and self sacrificing. That is socially conditioned and a learned behavior. However, we have conflated those positive traits as the base class of humanity, when it's really not.

I worry that we will need to return to widespread suffering just to relearn the same things we knew only a free short generations ago.
My two cents: I think you made a good, practical choice. If you're happy with Electron, I'd say stick with it, especially if you have cross-platform plans in the future.

If you want to niche down into a more macOS specific app, you could learn AppKit and SwiftUI and build a fully native macOS app.

If you want to stay cross-platform, but you're not happy with Electron, then it might be worth checking out Tauri. It provides a JavaScript-based API to display native UI components, but without packaging a V8 runtime with your app bundle. Instead, it uses a native JavaScript host e.g. on macOS it uses WebKit, so it significantly reduces the download size of your app.

In terms of developing this into a product, on one hand it seems like deep integration with the host OS is the best way to build a "moat", but then again, Apple could release their own version and quickly blow a product like that out of the water.
Speaking of malls, I went shopping at a couple malls and they have seemingly picked up on traffic. I wonder if they were there the same reason I was? (I needed to get out of the house)
I think that what’s going on in the minds of those calling the shots on Israel’s side (or at least most of them) is: they’re not trying to level Gaza. They’re trying to fight a war against Hamas, and Hamas is fighting from positions in cities that are often literally on the grounds of or inside what ought to be protected civilian sites: hospitals, mosques, etc. And they are surely making what seems a straightforward tactical calculation: they could send infantry in to try to minimize civilian casualties at enormous cost to their infantry, or they could use their massively superior firepower to just destroy the Hamas positions from a distance.

And the Israeli command feels the need to fight on the ground in the first place because Hamas is holding obviously innocent hostages and shooting militarily-useless but nonetheless quite dangerous explosive-filled rockets over the border. Hamas is goading them very effectively. If Israel could magically snap its fingers to destroy Hamas, get rid of all of Hamas’ weapons, and leave Gazan civilians, buildings and infrastructure alone, of course they would!

One might ask why Hamas is doing any of the above. I don’t think Hamas is at all on the side of the residents of Gaza. Their strategy seems much better explained by some rather different goals: improving their own status in the world, raising money, making a really big show, weakening Israel, seeming and feeling important, and recruiting more militant members. I think that every Gazan civilian injury and death is in Hamas’ favor. Israel making itself look bad is in Hamas’ favor. More Gazans who hate Israel and feel hopeless and marginalized is in Hamas’ favor. So of course Hamas wants to keep holding hostages and randomly blowing stuff up in Israel.

To be clear: I do not think Israel is making an ethically or strategically appropriate decision here. But I understand where they’re coming from.

And I don’t think Hamas is making the right decisions either, ethically or strategically, at least if the goal is making a good, safe life for residents of Gaza.

Over 18000 Palestinians were killed, about 70% of them were women and children. Many more under the rubble. 1.9 millions (85% of the population) are displaced.

And you're calling people antisemitic (how original) because they care about the massacres and ethnic cleansing Israel is committing against Palestinians (who are in fact Semitic).
The last two threads I've seen on HN on this issue have been civil and productive. I'm very impressed with HN (and with the moderators).
I've been wanting to build something like this by integrating into the terminal itself. Seems very straight forward and avoids the screen shotting. So you would just type a comment in the right format and it would recognise it:

$ ls
a.txt b.txt c.txt

$ # AI: concatenate these files and sort the result on the third column
$ #....
$ # cat a.txt b.txt c.txt | sort -k 3

This already works brilliantly by just pasting into CodeLLaMa so it's purely terminal integration to make it work. All i need is the rest of life to stop being so annoyingly busy.

I (and many other users of this forum) have expectations on the minimum quality of discourse. Moreover, I am happy this forum exists with its quality of discussion. I am interested in preserving this high level of civilized interactions.

Time and time again, when it comes to the subject of Israel and Palestine, it has been shown that the discourse never meets the minimum standards I usually enjoy here. To the point where I am not sure if it's even theoretically possible.

To use your metaphor - if this were a forum about juggling, I would generally expect people to have an honest interest in juggling, and to have discussions about juggling. If every discussion about curling, on my juggling forum, devolved into abuse - it would be reasonable to avoid discussing curling (at a certain point).
