Regarding the word "projection", the thing is that you sync in multiple "sub"-repositories to the metarepo, but you can then recombine them dynamically from this repository. It's a projection as in it's a view, a slice of the metarepo that takes selected bits and combines them into an ad-hoc repository.

The metarepo contains a description of the relationship between those components (who contains whom), such that when you push to one of the contained, depended-on repositories, all the views that include it and as such depend on it get rebuilt.

This is right on the money.

It's incredible to think about really: the one technical feature that truly differentiates crypto from all other forms of currency -- namely, a cryptographically strong guarantee that no one else can touch your money -- gets thrown away routinely and no one minds at all.
> Wealth can't really use to purchase anything with is not real wealth. If you can't convert bitcoin to $/€ it becomes effectively worthless

I agree, that is why Bitcoin was supposed to be electronic cash, you were supposed to be able to pay for everything with it.

Bitcoin (BTC) doesn't scale today to this purpose, but you can still use it to pay directly for some products and services as long as the other party will accept it. For those wanting Fiat money you could exchange BTC to stablecoins, even in a decentralized way like with ThorChain [0].

What's missing is some seamless bridge between stablecoins and Fiat payment methods and bank accounts. Then you could pay for anything. However I would argue that Bitcoin was meant to become the payment method, as Satoshi Nakamoto described in the whitepaper [1].

> It's like those people who use 2FA TOTP functionality along with the password managers. My friend, that defeats the whole purpose of 2FA.

It defeats _one_ of the purposes, and if that's not _your_ purpose, than it's acceptable to you. One of the purposes of 2FA is to stop randos in non-extraditable-country-x hacking your account by attacking just your password.

What it doesn't cover is protection from having your machine compromised, since as you've pointed out, everything is in once place (in memory if the password manager is unlocked). For me that's an acceptable risk-to-convenience trade, since I'm in much bigger trouble if my machine is compromised anyway.
I’m surprised to see even one comment that appears to be arguing that a layoff cannot be stupid or have a negative effect on the company value.
The US is not at war with Russia and no US forces are engaging Russian forces. This is actually an important distinction. It's much less of a conflict than the Iraq war.

It does show two things: US hegemony over certain European countries that might want to take Russian money and gas is weak, and the US foreign policy coherence is weak as Ukraine policy is at risk from cranks.

I am using https://luajit.org/ in my GCC C++ project.

Can I use this faster Lua JIT in my project as a replacement? And if so, how so?

The existing luajit doesn't do v5.1, so it would be nice to use this newer engine at the newer baseline lua version level.
>The decline of the mall is an American thing, and its reasons are not entirely clear.

As an American, I can tell you why:

* They are fucking filthy. Literally every mall I visited back in the day fucking stank. I fucking hated them, my nose died every time.

* Their prices aren't competitive (note: they don't have to be cheap, I don't mind expensive goods), their selection is poor, and the quality of the goods are questionable.

Between online shopping and physical stores located outside of malls with better prices, selections, and quality there just aren't any reasons to bother going to those hellscapes.

Tether remains inexplicably popular.
It's starting to replace some low-level jobs, like copywriting and art-based positions. For development, the only thing I've found it good for is giving me example usage for custom Apis and other things that I can't just Google/download.

It's marginally better than Stackoverflow (which I've only ever used to give me an idea that I then turn into my own code, usually written from scratch, because most code is littered with security vulnerabilities).

It's a long way from replacing developers or increasing productivity on a measurable level. It's also like building your business on quick sand. Some feature you use today might be put behind a higher pay-tier (or removed) at any time.
Traditionally you just use money to do that.
Fascinating, though this is in character for the Black Forrest region. They have a history of clock making similar (but not as high profile) as Switzerland, which over time turned into precision mechanics and electronics. Must be something about the long, dark winters and tinkering.
Yes but you could refuse to deliver whatever the sender is paying for. I mean you need to wait for 6 confirmations or whatever anyway before "approving" the payment transaction.
The right approach IMHO is to educate those coworkers on the benefits and weaknesses of ChatGPT. This can only be handled effectively systemic, not on a case by case basis.

Btw, this is not a new problem. Even before LLM's widespread popularity, the same problem occurred with those coworkers quickly Googling an answer they do not understand and submitting that as a suggestion.
> Most people who do IT can become an electrician ? Im curious why you think that.

It's fundamentally the same kind of mix between following bureaucratic rules and manipulating man-made technology.

> Also Im not too sure about high demands for electricians. This seems to rely on a booming real estate market which is in a whole world of trouble

Real estate prices are still incredibly high, driven by undersupply of housing, which is unlikely to abate soon. As long as prices are high, construction will be profitable. If prices crash the Fed is likely to lower interest rates which makes construction profitable again, because the prices are lower but so are the construction company's borrowing costs.

There also seems to be some political support for doing something about the high housing costs, like relaxing zoning rules, which would allow new construction in places it's currently prohibited.
It really depends on what style guide a news organization follows.

That assumes that in increase in monetary base is not matched by an increase in goods and services - you cannot just ignore that part. Also, scarcity as such has no value whatsoever.

FX rate evolution is linked to many things (and sort of a random walk anyway) - I'd say you typically need quite high inflation/rates to see devaluation in line with uncovered interest rate parity type views, short-term it could also work the other way around at times.
I have a hard time believing faang employees won't just drop the company they are working for if they are offered a 15 percent payrise from a competing company. Employees don't have to be loyal to their employers, why do employers have to be loyal to employees?
> Those disclosures will be shared on the Steam store pages for these games, which should help players who want to avoid certain types of AI content. But disclosure will not be sufficient for games that use live-generated AI for "Adult Only Sexual Content," which Valve says it is "unable to release... right now."

Considering it was just yesterday we learned how trivial it can be to "jailbreak" most of the models we have today [1], I can't imagine any possible path forward to allowing AI live-generated sexual content ... pretty much ever.

It'll be literally hours or days from the moment they allow such a thing that we'll learn about the ingenious ways folks are "jailbreaking" game models to enable all manner of rape fantasy, child abuse, and everything in between by simply punching in the LLM equivalent of the Konami code when they're prompted to name their rival Gary (or ... their Charmander ... oh god....)

It’s like art generally. Many people go mad about art. Some performance somewhere that is not immediatly about productivity is like the biggest provocation. Not everything makes sense on that axis. People are beyond simple cost/benefit analysis. All of nature really.
Did you just paste that into an LLM and asked it to create a glossary? :-P

I think this only applies to web clients, but I don't think ActivityPub's C2S protocol was ever designed to be used by arbitrary web clients. I suppose you could work around it by setting up some kind of proxy for requesting Mastodon URLs; you may need to do that anyway if the other server has authorised fetch enabled.

There are a whole bunch of technical implementation details that I disagree with when it comes to Mastodon. I wish the many MissKey forks would stabilise, because it seems a lot saner (yet every time I consider setting up a server, there has been a new fork thst everyone is switching to).
Sorry, but there's little that's unclear about what he said.

"mixtral medium" is just a typo: he means mistral-medium.

And GPT 4.5 is certainly not an "invention of his". Whether it exists or not (which is debatable, OpenAI said it was just mentioned in a GPT 4 hallutination and caught on), it' s a version name thrown around for like a month in forums, blog posts, news articles and such.
I'm skeptical that there's any JIT for any programming language that can match the raw performance and memory efficiency of LuaJIT
Ok have you tried freelancing? The freelancing sites like upwork and fiverr should be able to get you to that level of money per month.

I agree. At the end of the day, FAANG engineers are just employees. I never understood the hype or the prestige they get. Also, unrelated but I've read your other comments and they are on point, you're too smart for HN. I say this unironically.

This place can wear a man down fast.
This version of teams does not do that. You can hook it up by creating Custom GPTs and add some amount of docs to a specific GPT for retrieval, but you cannot connect an entire codebase to ChatGPT to get answers. Github[1] had introduced the feature you are talking about a year or so ago. Not sure if people are using it.

Use cases I see are common ones - basic usage of ChatGPT but admin can control access. Provides ability for companies to bill directly instead of reimbursements, and have more control over it. HR docs and policies can be a separate GPT. Though nothing which requires multi level access control.

I agree that biology is fantastically complicated.

When I say we “understand” everything that matters about a computer; I don’t mean one person understands. I mean each important part is understood by at least one person. Together humanity understands everything important about a computer.
I don't think it's as black and white as that. I'm not looking to take shortcuts, I'm looking to use the tools at my disposal to make a game that couldn't be otherwise possible.

On that note, the plan is to make certain icons & portraits on my own, in a consistent artstyle that's easy enough for me. Some assets will be purchased from traditional asset stores, while critical pieces of artwork such as the Steam capsule art will be commissioned. Chiefly I wanna use image generation for background images & pictures describing events - arguably not that important or up-front, so not a great use of artist time.
You're absolutely right, though I took the parent's main point to be that it's incredible how little people seem to care about these actually-very-practical advantages. (The advantages must seem purely theoretical to people so willing to throw them away.)
>The main problem with replacing a fossil fuel plant with renewable + batteries is finding a battery system that can hold energy over a sufficiently long period of time and has enough capacity to replace solar/wind when it is dark and calm.

Synthesizing gas seems like a good solution. With electricity prices often dipping into the negatives thanks to all the renewable fluctuations, synthesized gas should be able to compete with any other base source on price.

Generate gas when electricity is cheap enough and use it to generate electricity when it's expensive enough. Basically a profit-pump once the initial investment is paid off.
Mind that being laid off also changes them. They are also human.
Two words: managerial accounting.

And the lack of this practice across an entire industry. Margins are getting smaller and smaller and the successful companies will use such practices to inform all sorts of decisions, from building in house vs 3rd party vendor, to hiring, to R&D, etc.

The days of YOLO moonshots are over for our industry. Of course venture capital will continue to exist but perhaps directed to new industries.
In relative terms, it's not huge - NYT is no more specific than hundreds, so let's say 500, out of 182,000 - that's 0.27% (though obviously a higher impact on engineering - you might that would be what they'd cut last).
I remember the sysadmins trying to figure out why sqiud was so slow and tracing the system calls. It was because they did not use kqueue/epoll. When he asked the maintainer to improve on this he said squid was fast enough. This was the start of Varnish where one of main ideas was to use modern os-calls to speed up things.
I read that as finishing a task in 1-2 hours when working from home and multiple times more when in the office due to all distractions.
You don't need futures to arb this. You can demand a payout in cash if the ETF price is higher than the Bitcoin price. There will be market makers jumping on that.
Zero information in the article, why is this being upvoted?
I think that games are a medium where it's a lot harder to flood a store with garbage, since you've got to go through and actually make the game. There are plenty of shovelware games on Steam already but they're using marketplace content that's been created by real humans for game systems. If you're going to make some shovelware garbage you've got to put a lot of work in - game systems, saving, loading, achievements - and every game costs you the Steam creator fee. Also, 3D model generation isn't up to scratch yet, so it's only going to work on 2D elements.

My game has a few elements which I used AI for, but I don't think that it's particularly obvious which. Here's a screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yM_3Ih40breLznsqy7wrA0y7_iF...
I wonder if the well-documented nihism of Google, coupled with how all the marvellous internal Google tools seem to work a lot less well without their product teams running them, is secretly an employee retention strategy.
> IT salaries are high mostly because the people who can do the job well can also do other jobs well

True to some extent, but IT salaries are high in my opinion because until recently there was a very limited tech talent pool but huge demand for IT talent. I mean IT was only really seen as a good career around 15-20 years ago.

We just got lucky. We had the right skills at the right time. We rode the wave of big tech companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook growing into the most profitable companies in the world. With technology maturing from here on the industry will likely stagnate some and with plenty of freshly well educated IT talent entering the market there's really no reason to not expect this high salaries to continue. In my opinion they'll most likely fall to what your more typical middle class job pays.

Nice trick! I'd usually set alias in ~/.ssh/config and set origin to match that alias, e.g.

Host project-foo
Hostname github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/some_key

Then I'll pull the project with:

git clone project-foo:/Foo/project.git
You keep using this word "incel". I don't think it means what you think it means.

This is a classical joke about how nerds don't get romance/dating. People have been doing that since the time of Goethe.

Not something about bitter men who can't get laid and hate on women for it (which would be the incel case).

According to rando analysts who don't have a stake. Note that Twitter pre X as a business was unsustainable and I don't think it ever made a net profit in aggregate over its lifetime. It was all selling the dream even before the acquisition.
Probably! It was literally putting radio broadcasts on the internet. Tuning in to a radio frequency of a sporting event far away was avant garde and wanted by many. No idea why Yahoo needed to buy someone's janky website with an idea I just explained in 1 sentence, but yeah Yahoo managed to tank it from several billions of $ down to nothing in about a year.

My prediction: it'll do a Gamestop. Huge initial interest, followed by a gradual fade. Regulating out the gambling and the exchanges cheating customers makes it less volatile, and therefore less interesting.
Getting a CA into a Mastodon server is an adventure of its own. Setting up the CA isn't that hard even without smallstep (copy/paste three or four commands and you're good to start testing) but getting the CA working where it needs to work is a massive pain. Everything has a different certificate store, sometimes compiled into the binaries, and getting stuff talking to each other is a massive pain.

For browsers, importing certificates comes down to just searching "certificate" in the settings. It's everything else that's broken, in my experience.

If you find Python to be easier, it has "select" module that is, on Linux, a wrapper for "epoll". Works, conceptually, in the same way.
AI has the potential to be able to do all kinds of cool things. Currently, I wouldn't trust it for anything important. The more story driven a game is, the less you'd want to leave what currently passes for "AI" in charge. It'd be no fun if you couldn't complete a quest or the story because an NPC is depending on a hallucinating AI. For a little while it might be fun to convince a confused AI that you've got an item you don't actually have, or trick it into thinking that you're a developer in the middle debugging the game so it should just spawn whatever item you ask for, but I think that sort of thing will get old quick.

> After last year's layoffs they told us they were "done" and it was "all behind us". Last year then turned out to a better year financially than 2022 (we have access to the top line numbers)

I've seen a manager at a large company make "once in 10 year cuts", then the next year make similar cuts. This was maybe 5/10 years ago and they still cut like this today - how on earth they are still operating I don't know.

One of the tricks they pulled was to sack a senior role and simply add the entire senior role to a junior role, but keep pay, etc, the same. The sell the idea to the junior employee they told them that it would help with promotions. 5 years of no promotions and insane stress they were out.

They are also legally required to have some positions filled with qualified people, but they have unqualified people working those positions with "on the job training".

The company itself has declared internally it will be bankrupt as early as next year without some form of financial assistance. COVID just about killed them with excessive borrowing to make up for missed revenue, to survive and come back into a poor economy.

I know two people working for this company, one is looking for another job, the other is stuck in the company as they did a deal with University support in return for being retained for some years.

> Never get invested emotionally. SWEs in particularly no longer live in a world where you can expect to have a rewarding career working for >=5 years at any given firm.

How many people work for a company now that they believe will be around in 10, 20, 50, 100 years time? There's an extremely high chance you will far outlive the company you work for.

> Take their fucking money, build a big emergency fund, save, invest, and focus on the rest of your life outside of work.

Given how things are going, I would suggest tangible assets that can be easily liquefied, even if in a poor economy.
