Parroting opposition and right wing German Angst scenarios won't bring nuclear back. Its capacity has been replaced years ago. The "deindustrialization"-meme has been created when BASF started crying for subsidies because they didn't bother to diversify and relied heavily on Russian gas. No nuclear reactor will ever be able to fix that.

Despite all that, Germany came out pretty good and no fearmongering will create any of those scenarios: https://www.br.de/nachrichten/wirtschaft/deindustrialisierun...

I use magrittr pipes pretty much exclusively because of the extra features relative to the native pipe, but I also respect the R devs' decision not to add those extra features to the core of the language. The magrittr pipe adds additional syntax beyond the pipe itself, namely the '.' variable to refer to the piped value (essentially it's just Perl's '$_'). It's incredibly useful, but it's not particularly intuitive the way the basic pipe is.

Dall-E on the "animated sponge": The rights to the character depicted in the images, which is reminiscent of SpongeBob SquarePants, are owned by Nickelodeon, a subsidiary of ViacomCBS. The character is from the animated television series "SpongeBob SquarePants," created by Stephen Hillenburg.

Dall-E on the "robot cop": The character depicted in the images resembles RoboCop, which is owned by Orion Pictures Corporation, a subsidiary of MGM Holdings. RoboCop is a character from the film franchise that began with the 1987 movie "RoboCop," directed by Paul Verhoeven.

Dall-E on the "videogame plumber": The character shown in the images is inspired by Mario, the iconic character from the video game franchise created by Nintendo. The rights to Mario and related intellectual property are owned by Nintendo Co., Ltd.

I predict this could be a boon for generative AI because restricting it to training on copyright-expired media would produce a higher quality training corpus, as low-quality material from so long ago is unlikely to have been preserved, leaving only higher-quality material.
Sure if Europe is your thing, you should live there.

Just don't make specific claims which are not true. Europeans earn lower than 40% for the senior positions. e.g see google salaries[1]. Google pays good but is not the top of the league. Send me a page in Europe with 60% of those salaries.

2023 uncensored snapshot: My first 9 months as an IndieHacker
WeWork comes to mind. Probably Tesla and most of the other electric car makers too.

The key differentiator between these and "true" tech is whether the business has:

- Very high margins. If WeWork wants to grow, they need more buildings and both renting and buying require large amounts of capital. Tesla requires a significant amount of raw materials to build a car. Google on the other hand spends almost nothing to add a new customer to the database. This lets Google grow to worldwide scale with (comparatively speaking) very low capital requirements, while the others need huge upfront investments.

- A sustainable technological advantage or network effect. WeWork is "just" the Regus business model with better branding. Tesla used to have some technological advantages but the other car manufacturers are catching up rapidly. This means that in the medium term their branding will be all they have left to distinguish themselves with, and public opinion is a fickle master. Google and Meta have really entrenched themselves in their respective markets and the network effect for both is so great that I cannot see them being dethroned anytime soon.
Maybe Disney and the record labels shouldn't be claiming so much of public culture as their own.
Exactly; there is no need to do this in the model, you just need well understood token retrieval methods for identifying copyright infringement that ChatGPT's competitors already have.

You will get into some murky definitions of what is exactly required for copyright infringement vs fair use, etc, but we already do this for ContentId for YouTube and text is far simpler.

What part is bitter? I mainly develop in Clojure, Rich Hickey is a genius and more people should program like him.

> Clojure is a immutable, functional language, and Java is the exact opposite.

Program in an immutable, functional style is possible in any language. It won't be as good as in Clojure, and if someone wants Clojure's style they should use Clojure. But that won't stop anyone who wants specific properties. I personally am happy to be writing code that is Clojureish in any language people want to pay me to use.

Regardless of that, the interop between Clojure and Java ecosystems is as close to perfect as can be achieved; they're basically the same circle on a Venn diagram. There is no risk of Clojure having a different deprecation schedule compared to Java.
Wow, didn't expect this to get so ugly. What you people do to protect this dying technology is quite disgusting.

This is not the only charity, and seriously? You didn't know why Belarus? You are not aware of damages to the genome? Why do you even participate in a discussion around this topic? WTF are you doing here? Do you get money for this?
> bring down the cost of living in cities through building more housing,

Housing is not ruled by the supply and demand wizardry. Housing is subject of infinite cash from fossil fuels, oligarchs, pension funds, dynastic family fortunes, and mortgage leverage by individuals already owning real estate. You build more, more will be purchased and the prices will still grow.
I like it. Generalizing this one step further, there are a bunch of actions like this that are hidden inside our IDEs (whether VSCode / Neovim plugins or built-in functionality), which might be nice to pull out into standard unix tools.

Particularly as we get more investment in AI driving tooling, this sort of lift might be more and more common.
Commit signing in 2023 is kinda wack
Oddly enough, I never used them at the time. It was the CLI compilers, and makefiles. Possibly because most of the work I was doing was cross compilation for embedded systems, not targeting DOS nor Windows. However it was often using Borland/Turbo C and/or Metaware High C, both as DOS based compilers. Occasional y some assembly, or (DOS based) cross compilers for other CPUs (8051, Z80, etc).

Possibly the experience was different for folks not predominantly doing cross system development.

So the editor was usually BRIEF, which could be set up with per file type "compile", rules. Being a multi-file editor, one could "compile" the makefile, hence build the complete system. This would then run the compiler, and jump to the first error; plus commands available to jump to the next error in sequence.

On the occasions I needed something better for search and replace, I'd use a DOS version of vi.

When working on a local (DOS based) tool, one would occasionally have a TSR version of a help manual available, but generally the printed manuals the products came with were preferable.

As to a retrograde step when switching to unix/linux/bsd based development, not really. The combination of Job Control to switch between suspending the editor and running the compiler, together with virtual terminals where one could have man pages open covered most bases.
Is 10MB enough to fine-tune a model nowadays? Assuming that the base model is fairly well-trained already, of course.
Why do we need laws and law enforcement for this?

People don't have to work for a large corporation. If they are uncomfortable with the fact that their employment is at will and can be terminated for any reason, including as part of a mass layoff, work somewhere else or work for yourself.

If the company's board doesn't approve of mass layoffs, either don't approve them (if they have that power) or fire the C-suite after the fact.

We don't need laws, and therefore larger government control, to fix all our problems. Its concerning to me how frequently the initial reaction to situations like this is "the government should fix this."
I’ve read some of MacAskill’s writings, and my objection to his philosophy is twofold. First, while he talks about the value of “measurable contributions”, many of the things he finds important aren’t measurable. Longtermist investments and things that maximize the utility of future humans are almost by definition impossible to measure. This undermines the entire founding ethos of EA. What substitutes for true measurement in these cases is something more like opinion, where major EA orgs can then justify buying a luxury retreat for meetings since it will “help to produce an environment conducive to good ideas, and those ideas could save countless lives” and other nonsense like that.

Secondly there’s the obsession with cultivating and catering to high-earning donors, which in this case has a long and “rational” justification. But is, in the end, largely similar to what all traditional (non-effective) charities do. The major difference in EA is that there is even less incentive to look closely at what the donors do, and what kind of human beings they are, since the only measure that “matters” is the donation amount.

In that sense “the SBF fiasco” wasn’t so much an outlier but an inevitable result of the entire approach that specific wing of EA has been taking. I also agree that the focus on measurability harms difficult-to-measure causes like the arts, but I sort of expect that from a tech-nerd focused charity anyway.
> My guess is that none of this can easily be fixed.

If that were true, Microsoft would not need a salesforce because Windows and Office are already so dominant. But MS has about 25k people in the marketing department so I don't think that the connection between dominance and not needing a sales dept is as clear as you suggest.
It is factually true that a company can come to you and claim you are fired and have to leave, however it is illegal. One does not need to be quick with a lawyer. If you are a developer in Sweden, and you have joined the Swedish software engineering union, they will provide you legal support to ensure that you get what the law guarantees you. During the big layoffs this year, they actually waved any prereqs for how long you had to pay dues in the Union to get legal support. The layoffs in Sweden required the company to negotiate with employees for how much money they would accept to leave, in many cases this severance was full salary for a year. I live in Netherlands now and it's the same thing. Yes, a company will make it hard on you but they have no legal status here and will 100% lose going to court.

Yes, not everyone has the courage to stand up to their employer, and it may take some time for the legal process to work itself out, and it can be stressful. But the guarantees are there.

For myself, as an American who moved to Europe and has stayed, I found my quality of life much better. The reduction in pay has not bothered me one bit.
This is bad science. You compared the thing you had to the thing you wanted, and found a reason to pick the thing you wanted. Honesty should have compelled you to at least compare against a desktop–class machine, or even a workstation with a Threadripper CPU. Since you know that at least part of your workload is concurrent, and 14 CPUs are better than 10, why not check to see if 16, 32, or 64 is better still? And the linker is memory bound, so it is worth considering not just the quantity of memory but the actual memory bandwidth and latency as well.
It's not fine-tuning, it's RAG.
Got this too. 504 Gateway timeout - probably HN hug of death?
At least in the Netherlands it's extremely difficult to fire someone (which is a good thing). Unless they do something straight up illegal or are proven to be extremely incompetent, the only way to get rid of someone is to wait out their contract, assuming they don't have an unlimited contract. And if they're on the works council (mandatory in any company with at least 50 employees, with more seats the higher the number of employees), it's even more difficult to fire them without a very long, well-kept chain of proof for their incompetency.

The employer can always negotiate with the employee if they want them gone sooner, but that's still going to be expensive for the employer, and the worker in this case has much more robust rights than the employer. If my company wanted me gone I could easily get a year's salary out of it with any decent lawyer, as I have a permanent contract.

> If the HR and management want one out, one is out.

Definitely not in the Netherlands, and I expect most EU countries are similar.

> Is is worth the massive paycut the Europeans are accepting?

I don't earn anywhere near the 600k number that I see flying around in this thread and elsewhere on HN (which is lunacy to me but more power to you guys), but I'm still better off than 99% of people I meet, have my own home, have actual usable public transport and don't have to worry about a hospital visit bankrupting me. Oh, and my employer can't arbitrarily decide to just fire me, and if they do (for example in a wave of layoffs) I get compensated generously for it, plus the gov't itself will compensate me as well if I can't find a job for whatever reason while having 35 paid vacation days (I think the legal minimum is 25 vacation days for a fulltime employee, not 100% sure on that number though) + 10 or so public holidays. So, yes, definitely worth the pay cut.

There's more to life than gross monetary amounts, and from the horror stories my USA-ian friends relay to me about living there, I consider myself quite privileged to be where I'm at.
Ask HN: How to learn meditation in 2024?
Going through my learnings of last year, and goals for the next, I realise that all I actually want to do (or be) is a calmer and more clearer version of myself!

I dabbled into meditation a few times, but always lost my strike and it ended up not having any impact!

I have two young kids. And interacting with them in stressful situations showed me I want to be a role model to them as well.

So, what’s the best (guided) way of learning and practicing it every day?

I tried Headspace in the past, but it seems like overloaded and too much input for me! Books, online courses or simple apps?
Small misunderstanding.

With hardware I meant the LEDs/LED matrix. What kind of LEDs did you use and how much did it cost you is what I wanted to know...
As a european this is simply not true. The number if well paying tech jobs in Europe is miniscule in Europe and they are usually region locked to few cities let alone countries.

US gives you freedom. Europe locks you to a country and culture you don’t necessarily want to live in.
If it didn't change already then it likely never will.
> This behavior may well be interpreted as a violation of the SQL standard.

no it may not

this is fully standard compatible behavior and even expected behavior for _any_ SQL database implementing a read committed transaction insulation level

also it's a problem which on a theoretically level is not solvable with how SQL works, hence why on stricter isolation levels like serializable committing the transaction in such a situation will fail (in any SQL database) and needs to be retired. (Through in some unusual setups the db might be able to translate retry the transaction by itself, through at the cost of a ton of drawbacks)

Anyway reading the postgres documentation is always a good idea, it's not perfect but pretty good.
Sorry to hear this concern! Forgot to add on the landing page, but everything in this app is actually encrypted using AES-256-CBC, so it should be very secure to track tasks on this.
This feels like another area where piracy will surely be superior in case things like this land on the disallowed side of regulation. The model trained on all data will outperform the model trained on a legal subset of data. Whether or not you use it to produce potentially infringing content is another point. Performance will likely improve from having references to copyrighted material and people capable of doing so, myself included, would probably prefer to interact with the non limited model. Perhaps time to update the laws or at least move liability from the creator of the model to the user. No one is going after pencil makers but I can draw a pretty good Mickey Mouse with access to one. Feels like me generating C3P0 and claiming ownership is my problem, not OpenAIs.
What i found interesting: if you switch to “yearly”, most of the pages have almost 70-90% mobile visits, except the page on “Bible”, which has only 3% mobile.

Could that be due to bots/scrapers?
Wikipedia, unlike more classical encyclopedias such as e.g. Britannica, is not a primary source, by design. On anything tangentially related to topics like politics it's obligated to rely on sources like the US media which make no effort to even feign neutrality or balance. And of course these sources are then cited by editors who, similarly, have little interest in even feigning balance, beyond some minimal pretext.

The ideal of checks and balances keeping the system relatively neutral would only work if there was a relative balance of ideological views among overactive editors. And on that, I'm reminded of that line from the Blues Brothers, 'We have all types of music here - country and western!'
Yes but then I would need to live in Berlin (shakes uncontrollably).
That's weird, I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Would you be willing to join the discord and I can further help you with it? Happy that you tried it out though hahaha
In your example, there are missing details. Who owns the output? The way you've described it, that would typically mean that the guitarist is creating a "work for hire" so the ownership transfers to you, but that's a contract detail that would need to be resolved.

For whoever owns the output also owns the liability of the output. You yourself might separately be able to pursue a claim against the guitarist for breech of contract. In the process of that, it might get discovered that you deliberately instructed the guitarist to copy the work, or they copied despite your instructions not to.

But that doesn't change the fact that the final work is infringing. It just allows you to pursue damages that could potentially offset any damages you're liable for from the infringement.

But this also isn't exactly the same situation as OpenAI. OpenAI isn't an individual creator working on contact for you. Even if their ToS ultimately assigns copyright of output to you, there is a matter of scale involved that I think changes things. It's one thing if your guitarist damages you by doing shoddy work, it's another of the guitarist systematizes and scales their shoddy work to damage large numbers of people. Perhaps that would then become a class action issue.
I don't think that I can get much clearer than my original phrasing. If someone doesn't know how to explain a piece of software in terms of what problem it's addressing and how it solves it then that person isn't the type of person I'm looking to discuss things with.
This is just the first charity I got from google. There are a dozen more. It's ridiculous that the freaking consent form of a website is your argument now. How are you not ashamed, posting this?

> Credit cards will become widely accepted in Europe.

I'm sorry, what? Credit cards are available and accepted basically everywhere in Europe. I've been to 15+ European countries and never had a single issue paying with a credit card. Credit cards are also widely owned and issued all over Europe.

Why would you make this statement? What am I missing?
However, SELECT FOR UPDATE doesn't lock not-yet-existing rows in PostgreSQL, like it does in MySQL with gap locks. If for example, the transaction performs either an UPDATE or an INSERT based on whether the SELECT FOR UPDATE found or didn’t find a row, then two concurrent executions of that transaction can run into a conflict or duplicate INSERT in PostgreSQL, whereas in MySQL the second execution would block on the SELECT FOR UPDATE of the first execution even when there are no matching rows (but the first execution then will/might create some).
