It's really unfortunate to see the same tribal shit-flinging on HN. Both parties are wings of the same bird. They work in the interest of their donor base, not their constituents. Commodifying housing and criminalizing homelessness is exactly that. Putting "your people" in charge won't change that.

> But the poor person does not exist as an inescapable fact of destiny. His or her existence is not politically neutral, and it is not ethically innocent. The poor are a by-product of the system in which we live and for which we are responsible. They are marginalized by our social and cultural world. They are the oppressed, exploited proletariat, robbed of the fruit of their labor and despoiled of their humanity. Hence the poverty of the poor is not a call to generous relief action, but a demand that we go and build a different social order.

They might if the tax base decreases substantially and unemployment shoots up to unsustainable levels.

The government definitely cannot afford , with the national debt, to lose tax dollars or to subsidize high levels of unemployment.
The point is that OpenAI (and others) will need to change their training pipelines to ensure there is never such a threat of a lawsuit.

Which, to be clear, is absolutely a good thing and what they should have been doing from the start.

It is drastically harder for people from the EU to immigrate to the USA than to the UK, even post Brexit.
This is hilarious coming from a mayor that literally cut funding to schools and police to support all the illegal migrants coming to NYC
Usually, people quality follows a normally distributed curve at any place I worked that had enougj peoole in each grouo to make it mathematically work. Amazon transfromed tgat, IMHO, into a bathtub curve, really great (and ruthless, driven, qualified) folks at the top end, then nothing, finally those only checking one of the above mentioned boxes and offsetting the others with excelling at politics. S I said, a peculiar place.

Something else I learned the very hard way: what constitutes a good or bad leader, or employee, is nost of the time highly subjective.

That being said, realizing Amazon is not a place for you before joining is the best thing you can do. I have seen my fair share of people that realized after being hired, and for them the place was hell. Careerwise, and I explicity talk about white collar folks, Amazon had no negative impact on them. But going through personell hell 50+ hours a week for months until ypu found something else or you are let go during probation is torture. I know, I had the same thing after Amazon once, it sucks and drains you dry.
If they got depreciated once, it's gonna happen again. Apple should invest in Microsoft-tier backwards compatibility if they want to avoid publishers abandoning their software.

Scifi can deliver an illusion of understanding. A metaphorical description of something very strange that the reader never actually experienced firsthand.

That's a deep kind of dream. Not saying the vision is entirely invalid, but maybe it isn't as intimate an understanding as the reader thinks.

It's a bit like religious literature that way.

It’s great to win, until you lose.
This is just arguing semantics over the word "culture", but I'll bite.

The culture of Amazon during 2019-2022 was that people throughout the organization "thought about work" as something that could be done remotely (yes, even before 2020 there was remote work at Amazon), but required different working styles. There was more focus on employee engagement, encouraging things like taking online training or organizing team meetings that were focused on team connectedness. Teams were less overworked because there were always new people being hired to pick up the extra slack.Pay was constantly increasing, and especially so during the pandemic (Amazon famously removed its salary cap in 2022, and readjusted its entire pay scale to be higher).

Post-pandemic, but pre-layoffs, Amazon encouraged work travel to go and see coworkers in-person. You didn't even need a reason to do so, but book the travel and your expenses would be auto-approved. Expense budgets were large, and planning team events or happy hours were encouraged. Pay increases continued. Rapid hiring and team growth only got more rapid.

After layoffs happened, that all changed. Work travel began to be actively disallowed, pay increases slowed (or stopped). Team training became restricted unless it was free (and even then, only a certain amount of days were allowed). Hiring slowed to a crawl, so teams were more overworked, and overall mindset was more negative because you knew no help was coming.

All of the things I'm describing are vast culture changes that I personally saw happen between 2019-2022. You can go ahead and call these "policies", but policies are an important factor that shapes culture.
Neither of those statements is true. Bitcoin seized by US government is often sold off in auctions[1]. Tether seized by the government could also be redeemed for fiat eventually, following due process.

[1] - https://www.forbes.com/sites/brandonkochkodin/2023/03/31/us-...

EDIT: I see now that you were actually comparing the case of USDT freeze against Bitcoin seizures. Nevertheless, Tether doesn't simply get to keep the USD value of the frozen tokens. US government would want to recover that.
I like the phrasing of "The Overwhelming Web"! Quick Googling shows no other similar uses, did you just come up with it?
It breaks my heart that this is the case. Honestly, even online you hear so much about people struggling with everything from affording food, to hoping that they'll ever be able to pay off their debts or even afford a place to live. :(
8 of 10 states with the highest crime are southern red states with thug cops and bad education. Pray it away?
Welcome to NY. The city government and the state government are both incredibly corrupt, and basically always have been. Giuliani may have actually been the most honest one in recent history (only because he put down the mask), it just hasn't caught up with the rest of them yet.

Chicago is the same. New Jersey is probably worse than NY. SF less so, but also pretty bad. I hear Texas is also really bad. Basically anywhere you have a political monoculture (and thus no risk of getting booted for a scandal), you get corruption.

The market at large will determine that. If people value cheap AI generated images more than talented human curated art then that's what it will be. If a market exists to buy unique pieces where an artist put brush to canvas and priced their work at $1000 instead of the cheap $10 poster that can be mass produced then thats what it will be. If no one wants to pay $1000 for your unique piece, then the market has spoken and your art is not worth that much. Like everything else, an equilibrium ill be reached. Good artists will be fine. The other 99% of self declared artists will fade away into obscurity.
Unfortunately even ordering the book on its own isn't a sure-fire way to get it well-packaged. The last several books I've bought were shipped in a thin paper bag (or a bubble mailer if I was lucky.)

As someone who takes care of their stuff, it's pretty annoying to get my books pre-worn.

Though it doesn't invalidate the gist of your saying, malloc is a user-space function not a syscall. (Its implementation will occasionally do a syscall, such as to sbrk or vmmap.)
I think the gap is quickly narrowing on the need to fully comprehend most computer programs for most use cases, especially if bugs and changes can all be managed through natural language by the primary stakeholders.

Yep, sounds like that's way more common in Europe than the US. I'm actually at a small US company now that hires this way as well, I just hadn't seen any larger companies over here doing it this way.

I love this comment. One of the worst feelings at my old job was putting a ton of effort into describing a problem, only for somebody else to recognize it as a known, studied thing that already has a name.

It’s really hard, in my experience, to come across the existing name for something while you’re still figuring out all the angles of a problem for yourself.
In reality all generative art (both AI generated and old fashioned procedurally generated art) involves a human tweaking the knobs a lot and then selecting the best ones out of a sea of duds. To me it is clear that there is plenty of space for human creativity.

Because capturing the output of `seq` requires spawning a whole separate process (significant for small sequences) and shoving all the data into a single buffer (significant for large sequences) rather than working incrementally.
My bad if my response came as a rebuttal, it was more of a confusion of the circumstances that led you to do things the way you did. Was it just a lack of knowledge about arch or some esoteric setup I've never seen.

Yeah it’s the millennials I’m currently worried about, they’re also quite relatively poor so I suspect not many will be able to afford to retire let alone a high level of medical care.

I’m actually quite hopeful that ozempic mainly works by helping reverses hormonal damage caused by bad diets. Ozempic causes low gut motility which can be very unpleasant and potentially dangerous, there are already conditions with the same effects so it’s possible to benchmark what long term effects will be like (It’s not great). I think there are safe ways to do it and that will be figured out. I think it has already changed the culture for the better. I’m hopeful this high BMI era turns out to just be a phase instead of a one way ratchet. Where I live there are few overweight people so it’s always a bit of a shock to me whenever I travel.

Amazon will always eventually Amazon.
I have batteries in my home - 4.8kWh worth. The technology is very real.

But, also, we have to plan for tomorrow. We can predict with some degree of certainty how technology will develop. Tomorrow's computers are likely to be faster than today's; so we'll build a broadband network which is capable of exceeding today's demand.

It's the same with electricity. Nuclear has had decades to prove itself and come up short every single time. Solar and wind are exceeding expectations. Battery technology is rapidly evolving. Should we base our decisions on today's technology or tomorrow's?

I do!

I abandoned Parallels when they crippled the perpetually licensed version. "Pro" is only available via subscription for a few years now. Even before then, their store was disgusting with forced bundling of additional hostile products, and later they became optional but were still added to your cart by default.

Yikes, I’ve had the opposite experience, uniformly. Professors join to great acclaim, and everyone then slowly learns (again for the Nth time) that “managing” students, writing grant proposals, and running research projects, has very little carryover to managing a team of engineers inside a large complex project.

Then why did he lay this trap? Again, this wasn't an accidental discovery, he knew or suspected he could get this publicity by going to war against his "publisher". I'll be honest, everything about this screams "bad faith" to me. Amazon didn't do anything that any other company wouldn't have done. Arguably-slightly-flawed-but-still-fine returned junk goes on the shelves of every store in the world. This is the only guy who planted bombs in it.
Keep in mind you are still likely bound by an expansive intellectual property clause in your employment contract that says the company owns all work you do, even outside normal business hours.
The new version of the CRA is quite an improvement, and most of discussions around the open source communities were about older versions that were quite concerning. There were a lot of scary discussions on the foundations mailing list and on various board of open source non-profit.

This article is a good step to explain what has changed.

(I was quite concerned as President of VideoLAN and involved in VLC and FFmpeg, since both projects would have been threatened by previous drafts)
Same at Google - was there from 2016 to 2023. And i strongly believe everyone at BigCo underwent a step-change in 2023.

I do give the VP in TFA some credit for trying to give shelter and time. Google went rancid, you'd go to work one morning, get an unannounced event on your calendar, and be informed as a group you were locked out of everything except the internal job posting site and had 8 weeks to find a job. Meanwhile everyone had negative headcount. I've heard at least two dozen stories like that personally.

Another effect is best communicated by a quote: "there's a fuck you got mine attitude." The internal peer support group i was a location lead for was overwhelmed by people with just bonkers stories of aggression and antisocial behavior from middle management punching down. I heard so many stories that wouldn't have gone down at even the strangest and most inexperienced startups I worked at. (Hiring friends with 0 experience, outright lying, pushing out people)

The bullwhip effect of management not really needing to learn to capital-M manage and now being asked to really exposed a lot of issues. Breaks my heart. (I left because of this)
My experience (at a BigCo) has been the opposite. The below applies to about 60% of them; the other 40% are good or great.

Our academic gets tired of terrible wages and thinks “I’ll do a tour of duty at a tech company and pay off my mortgage.” They arrive and freak out because the incentives are totally different. They spend their days trying to replicate the vibe of graduate seminars or R&D projects (e.g. “hey everyone, let’s explore type systems!”), but the working developers around them are not buying it. They rant and rave about how they can’t get approval to publish this or that IP. Oh, and it turns out their coding skills are below that of the incoming junior engineers who they used to teach.

Ultimately they fail to make any impact, so their project is cancelled — an indignity which they would never experience at uni. So they leave, but during that 1-2 year adventure they have been paid 10x they would have made at a university.

And now they can return to academia having paid off some debts and with a shiny entry on their resume that says they have Real World experience at a BigCo.

Again, that’s not everyone, and I sort of rolled all the bad problems into one scenario. But I have seen it many times - just last month I watched a team of academics get torn down due to this type of square-peg-round-hole mismatch.
Lovely machines. Learned programming basic and asm and after pascal and c on it when I was a little kid begin 80s. Knowing everything about a computer, hardware and software, is a very nice thing. A thing no human in modern computing (well, with modern computers that is) will ever have/feel anymore.
> The US won zero strategic goals

That’s completely false. A large strategic goal of USA in Vietnam was to show strategic partners and allies the extent to which USA was willing to go for its commitments.

> And Afghanistan, seriously?

I have no idea what you’re asking. Vietnam and Afghanistan were simply not real wars in the traditional “win-loss” sense for USA; Afghanistan moreso than Vietnam.

That was never Apple's thing. Apple always changes things as it pleases and expects the developers to suck it up.

Yes. I purchased The Capital by Karl Marx for my son; at least 5% of the pages were blank.
The only issue I have with that is that they will not allow us citizens to live there and take on jobs.

If it truly were free trade then we could choose to live there and accept a lesser salary.

Eventually offshoring to South America will probably hurt India as that is poised to expand and has overlapping timezones.
Not can’t at all but the licensing hurdles can be really difficult if they didn’t go to med school in the US, as I understand it. Even from other countries that are clearly pretty good at educating & licensing doctors.
Therapy helps in overcoming pretentiousness, no doubt. This is an emotional problem, feelings of worthlessness, attaching one's sense of identity to how smart one is etc.

It's a big problem, especially among people with no life (family, self-care habits), eg nerds with no purpose.

Making up a term just so you can continue jerking each other off intellectually wont help you with anything.
China has massive IP theft and Chile labour issues that arguably give them competitive advantages too. Should we let those slide as well?

Not necessarily. It's possible the device could automatically call the paramedics/coroner who would move your body to the funeral home.

That's a real nightmare. Trace amounts of perchlorates (speaking of rocket chemicals) in water are attributed to some bad health effects, and the compounds you're talking about are so much worse.
Gmail lets you customise keyboard shortcuts and has custom labels so you can basically do that exact thing without any third party tools or workflows.
They did that. That was the constitutional crisis that occurred after the next election, in which all the major parties promised to respect the referendum and implement the vote, thus ensuring it was fought mostly on domestic issues.

Then after being elected large numbers of MPs announced that in fact they weren't going to let the UK leave, and wanted to impose a second "People's Vote". These MPs had done exactly what some people on this thread are asking for: they agreed to a referendum and then decided they didn't like the result so they wouldn't obey it.

What happened next seems to have been largely memory holed: Johnson kicked the rebels out of the Conservative party (Labour did not), sending his party from having a majority to deep minority. Parliament then went entirely rogue and attempted to take over the Brexit process from the government in order to directly kill it. Johnson asked for a new election to take the mess back to the people, and the rogue MPs denied that too. They knew full well they had directly stabbed the electorate in the back and they'd all lose their jobs at the next GE as a result, so they just ... refused to hold a GE.

This was by far the biggest constitutional crisis the UK has had in my lifetime. Representative democracy is built on the basic assumption that if politicians say they believe in X, campaign on X and then get voted in because of X, that they will actually vote for X in Parliament. If large numbers of MPs claim they will support something and are just baldly lying, democracy dies. And that's what happened.

The crisis was ended only by a stroke of luck: the head of the Liberal Democrats became so delusional she began to drink the rebel MPs own kool-aid, and think that the population actually supported their desire for a second People's Vote. After blocking a new election for a long period, she decided to vote with Johnson's remaining loyal MPs to trigger one, at which point all the rebels including her were wiped out. Every single one lost their seats.

So, what you ask for actually happened. It didn't work because the British people voted the same way and for the same things they did in the referendum.
Ok, but that doesn’t change the fact that they get offers and thus have many choices.
