I think UBI will get a lot of people trapped in death spirals by preventing them from hitting rock bottom and then snapping out of their funk and turning their life around. UBI makes the government an enabler of people in self destructive loops.

Instead, we need to streamline the process of getting people back to work in whatever capacity they can manage, so people can decide to go back to work on a whim in their moment of lucidity and immediately see real progress and improvement. Legitimizing day labor paid in cash at the end of the day, the same day you decide to show up. If you make people apply one day the say "you start next week" a lot of people won't make it to next week and will be back in their death spiral the next day.

Here's an example of libreoffice running entirely in the browser: https://lab.allotropia.de/wasm/

Once it does it's painfully long download and bootstrap it works pretty nicely. This is a big complicated legacy app, but I'm sure if reasonable file sizes and graceful loading was an actual goal you could get some pretty good results. Sure, it's not going to be as easy to hire for right now, but I think for complicated programs that general kind of workflow is likely to be better than the big pile of JS scripts.

Google seems to think the same if flutter is any indication.
Particularly with the web though, you're very rarely completely locked into one front end technology. It's 100% reasonable to say "this particular complex interaction should use React" without needing to port the entire application. I'm sure even Photoshop and Figma could build their account management or settings pages with MPA if they wanted to - I don't use them and have no idea if they do, but "some parts of my application require complex tools" doesn't mean "all of my app requires complex tools"

It would be great if you add to your comment the best way to act in this case? I could research the potential malware but I assume that GitHub has some tooling/resources to quickly research it? It is like the automatic scanning in Gmail. If it is an obvious malware it could be detected with existing tools. You can also run it in a very isolated VM and/or computer and see what happens behind the scene in a black box manner.

I'm not an Elon Musk fan by any metric, but frankly, this article, or rather the sentiment behind it, is ridiculous.

It just goes to show, you can revolutionize electric cars and private spaceflight, build a successful business empire, and become the richest man in the world, and people will still claim that your drug use is destroying your life.

The people quoted in the article claim that his drug use may be causing erratic behavior on Twitter and elsewhere. Besides the fact that erratic behavior clearly doesn't require drug use (see Trump), even if we assume that Musk's personality is a result of his drug use, how about the fact that that same personality was the one that made all those concerned people rich in the first place. Or are only negative personality traits allowed to be attributed to drug use?

Unsuccessful person using drugs: "You're unsuccessful because of your drug use."

Successful person using drugs: "You're successful despite your drug use."
Right: that is willpower, which means that by the article's findings, even if it worked for one person, telling other people that they "just have to do it" won't work if it already hasn't worked for them.

> Here, Microsoft and OpenAI haven’t just used The Times’ content to teach the AI how to communicate, they’ve launched news-specific services and features that ingest both archived content and brand new articles from The Times.

What is this referring to? AFAIK reporting on real time news is beyond the capability of an LLM, and a Google search doesn't turn up any news reporting feature.

> But the hallucinations aren’t facts; they’re lies. And even if the defendants prevail in arguing that the AIs are mostly just providing people with unprotectable facts, there’s very little to shield them from liability for the lies, both with respect to trademark dilution claims, but also with respect to potential libel or privacy-related claims that might be brought by other individuals.

This seems really weak because libel requires damages. It would be incredibly hard for the NYT to prove any damages from ChatGPT lying about it. Also libel requires "actual malice" which means the libeler needs to know that their statements are false. Good luck showing that with an LLM.
Fascinating article, very well articulated
> users interact with pytorch - not with hardware libraries. so, if pytorch can abstract the hardware, users wont care.

At the most basic level, yes (pretty much "hello world"). This is what I meant by "it’s interesting to watch observers/casual users claim these implementations are competitive". Take a look at a project (nearly any project) and you will see plenty of specific commits for ROCm:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Ahuggingface%2Ftransformer...

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AAUTOMATIC1111%2Fstable-di...

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Avllm-project%2Fvllm+rocm&...

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aoobabooga%2Ftext-generati...

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amicrosoft%2FDeepSpeed+roc...

Check the dates - ROCm is six years old and all of these commits are /very/ recent.

Only the most simple projects are purely PyTorch to the point where other than random curiosities I'm not sure I've seen one in years.

Check the docs and pay attention to caveats everywhere for ROCm, with tables showing feature support for ROCm with asterisks all over the place. Repeat for nearly any project (check issues and pull requests while you're at it). Do the same for CUDA and you will see just how much specific hardware and underlying software work is required.

> all users will care about is dollar cost of doing their work.

Exactly. Check PyTorch issues.

ROCm:

https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues?q=is%3Aissue+rocm

8,548 total issues.

CUDA:

19,692 total issues.

With Nvidia having 90% market share in AI and 80% market share on desktop and being supported in torch since day one those ratios are way off. For now and the foreseeable future if you're a business (time isn't free) the total cost of an actual solution from getting running, to training, to actually doing inference (especially at high production scale) very heavily favors Nvidia/CUDA. I've worked in this space for years and at least once a month since the initial releases of ROCm on Vega in 2017 I check in on AMD/ROCm and can't believe how bad it is. I've spent many thousands of dollars on AMD hardware so that I can continually evaluate it - if ROCm were anywhere close to CUDA in terms of total cost I'd be deploying it. My AMD hardware just sits there, waiting over half a decade for ROCM to be practical.

I don't have some blind fielty to Nvidia, own any stock, or care what logo is stamped on the box. I'm just trying to get stuff done.

> further, almost everyone in the ecosystem has an incentive to commoditize the hardware (users, cloud vendors, etc). over time i see the moat eroding - as the moat does not attach directly to the user.

We're very much in agreement. Your key statement is "over time" and this is what I was referring to with 'I’m really rooting for them but the reality is these CUDA “competitors” have a very very long way to go.'. It's going to be a while...
This is correct. Unless it involves personal data and/or tracking the user somehow, then GDPR isn't relevant.

Example: If you're storing lightOrDarkTheme in a cookie/localStorage, then there is no need to try to follow any directives, nor are you required to inform the user about that you're storing the preference.

That's also Dwarf Fortress. In DF magma is actually desirable for gameplay (Magma Forge! Magma Smelter! Weaponized magma!) but there are still things that make you think twice before digging too deep.
Absolutely, but it's a matter of tradeoffs and where you place them. It's still plenty common to use an MPA framework like Rails or Django for the management or CMS portion of your solution, while using an SPA framework for your front presentation. It's much more acceptable to say "doing that for this staff workflow is hard to do with our stack" than "doing this for our customers is hard to do with our stack".

> The number of striking Tesla mechanics is so low that IF Metall refuses to reveal how many are striking, and recently expelled some Tesla employees for not obeying their power play of striking.

Unions here never disclose how many employees are on strike, it's a way to protect the collective action.

> https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/tesla-teknikern-jobbar-trot...
> En Tesla-anställd tekniker som Ekot pratat med är kritisk mot fackets kamp för kollektivavtal, och väljer att trots strejken fortsätta arbeta.

> ”Hade jag inte tyckt om mitt jobb, hade det varit så toxiskt som de beskriver, då hade jag bytt jobb”, säger han till Ekot.

That's one technician saying they are happy and disappointed with IF Metall, unless conditions are so egregious to force unanimous action there will always be employees who don't want to participate on a strike. It was the same in the case of Klarna, a lot of employees were not in support of a potential strike but there was enough support to announce it to force Klarna to come into a collective bargaining agreement.

> It's a powerplay by unions who have to resort to sympathy strikes using the government monopoly on giving out registration plates because Tesla workers are happy. Even those are failing as Tesla sales in Sweden have increased over 2022 in Nov and Dec 2023, in spite of blockades on Tesla car imports.

It's become a powerplay, exactly because of how the labour market works here, if a company succeeds in overturning a foundational principle of the labour market then employers have acquired a much more outsized power against employees. IF Metall wants Tesla to abide by what any other car manufacturer abides to in Sweden, in not doing so they are creating a market advantage over other companies who are following the rules of the labour market.

Had Tesla not brought scabs to break the strike nothing of this would be happening, do you understand that? The major issue is that, it's not Tesla not signing a CBA, it's Tesla trying to strong-arm their way through union busting tactics in a society where unions are a core tenet to balance employers-employees relationships. Without unionised power the labour market in Scandinavia/Nordics is not possible to be balanced, the government tries to not interfere.

I do not understand why you defend Tesla so often in Hacker News, I've noticed your username across the years always siding with Tesla, Tesla is in the wrong here and they are paying for it.

If Tesla doesn't like how the market works here they are free to leave at any moment...

Creators of LLMs (OpenAI in this case) should know that their LLMs regularly provide false statements.
People apply for the jobs they want, when they should be applying for any jobs they could conceivably do. When I went through this the job I landed was pulling boxes off the back of trucks onto pallets. That OP wants a job in food services and for some reason can't get one. He should try applying to the kind of jobs he doesn't want. If he can establish himself as a reliable worker at a shitty job, he'll have a much easier time applying for the jobs he does want.

Ah I see what you mean. Yeah that is roughly equivalent to a manual merge queue. It's going to fall apart on medium/large teams because you'll constantly be rebasing and rerunning CI.
LLM hallucinations are a well known problem, and accepted as such by OpenAI etc... perhaps, as a group / statistically, that rises to the level of "knowing statements [can be] false"? of course, IANAL... but keen to see how it plays out.

The converse is also true, you can add a lot more interactivity than you used to in a server rendered HTML world with stuff like LiveView in Phoenix or Hotwire in the Rails world.

I think a good heuristic is looking at whether the UX of your app feels more multi-page or single page, that should be a pretty big factor in your decision.

As also "that guy that people go to for git help", I've seen people clearly surprised that:

- cherry-pick creates "duplicated" commits

- you can checkout a commit, rather than a branch

- two commits in the same repo may be topologically unrelated to each other

- merge commit can contain changes unrelated to its parents (usually after making some by accident)

- you can git reset --soft

Those are just the ones that came to my head on a whim (and don't get me started on rebase-heavy workflows). I've had people telling me that it "finally clicked" when made aware that commit is a state rather than a change. Explaining what I just did to "fix" someone's repo is also often easier after a proper "commit as a snapshot" prelude. If people who used Git for years say "oh, that makes much more sense now" after being presented with basic Git concepts, it suggests that their mental model may have been somewhat flawed.

Once you internalize that commit is a snapshot, going from that to thinking about diffs between two commits is easy. The other way around is not so obvious - when checking out a commit from complicated topology, it may not be immediately clear how to get from one state to another by "applying diffs" even if it's technically equivalent, so simple operations will end up seeming like undecipherable magic to you simply because they don't fit your mental model very well.

This is a great question, and really highlights why my proposal would work or not. The surface-level answer is that unemployment increases homelessness, so fixing unemployment would go a long way in fixing homelessness as well.

But the deeper answer is that I don't believe housing is actually scarce. It's just scarce in places that have jobs. Whereas in "job deserts", which might be most of the territory, housing can be quite cheap. So if the government made jobs spring up in more places, maybe housing wouldn't be a problem.
Have you looked at data wrangling software like Easy Data Transform, Knime or Alteryx? It is specifically written for cleaning, merging, summing and reshaping tabular data. They can all handle CSV and Excel files (plus a lot more).
Sure! I think it's just a question of scale and knowing your problem. If it's "the entire customer-facing area needs a large amount of interactivity" then going with a SPA makes sense. If it's "this particular UI element on the customer app needs a large amount of interactivity", that's easy to build as an isolated component regardless of the technology of the rest of the app.

One thing that I'll always view as a smell though is "we don't need X now, but we might need X in the future, so we should adopt this more complex technology just in case". We've learned that lesson MANY times as developers, it's not any less true for front-end technologies.
