The particular point about protocols is that IRC is dead-simple to implement. It's all ASCII/UTF-8, CRLF-delimited messages of space-separated tokens. You can get a working implementation with the stdlib of most languages in about 200 lines. The protocol hasn't really changed much over the years.

Contrast with HTTP and other related web technologies, whose specifications are so complex that only the largest tech firms can even dream of building their own implementations, let alone achieving full standards compliance. Moreover, those standards are also often driven by those same corporate interests who own significant usage share in the browser space.

To the extent that corporate interests will advocate for standards in their own self-interest (recent example: Google WEI), I would say that the protocol has been commercialized.

> the hyperscalers say they have to charge egress fees to pay for the costs in building their networks, but for some reason doesn't apply to ingress (which they're silent on)

because ingress traffic volume is a fraction (in my experience, in website hosting of a well known household brand, barely 1%!) of egress traffic volume, and most peering connections are 1:1 in ingress/egress bandwidth so the egress bandwidth cost sets the price.

This doesn’t particularly matter since all of the potential ports are in unionist territory, but most Somali and Amharic sources say that it is Lughaye.

> It also doesn't seem to take sides, or make any far-fetching claims

It does both, first by the people it cites,and then by claiming that Ethiopia would both delegitimize itself and tear up the charter of the African Union by recognizing a Somaliland, a claim that Ethiopia has walked back already.

> On a side note: personally I have no idea what changed with Somalian gov't since 2011, but virtually all sources say it still controls lesser part of internationally recognized territory, and its existence is impossible without external forces on the ground.

2011 was 12 years ago. The Somali government and more importantly the Federal States control the majority of the territory of the Somali republic. Given that the majority of the “external forces” withdrew last year and the Somali government hasn’t fallen yet, I would urge you to read something more up-to-date.

I've come to this conclusion a long time ago. If consumers have perfect information about a class of product from different producers then advertising would be completely useless and the market for that product would be completely efficient (on the consumer side). Of course consumers don't have perfect information, and that's what the marketing industry claims their purpose is to address.

But really the role that the marketing industry (at least for typical products and services) actually plays is to selectively give information to consumers to influence their buying decisions against how they would behave in an efficient market. And then it's a very short and slippery slope to just straight up lying about products and manipulating consumers through their insecurities, which we see happening all the time with how the marketing industry has developed for the last few decades especially with online advertisements.

Not having those protections in place would be a company ending event for Microsoft. The legal system would crush them, and customers would leave in droves.

And the number of markets Microsoft completes in now is tiny. This isn't the 90s where Microsoft competed in slews of consumer and business markets. The potential upside from the Cloud team slurping up secrets from competitors in literally ANY other business segment, is dwarfed by the losses that would hit MS.

Now of course that doesn't mean some corrupt fool in sales won't risk destroying the company so he can make his yearly bonus (that very thing has brought down companies before!), but Microsoft internally has a lot of motivations to ensure that doesn't happen.

So, don't trust Microsoft saying "trust us". Trust Microsoft being greedy and wanting to keep growing the cash cow that is Azure Cloud.

Why do you say this? I get frustrated when I rent a car, not knowing exactly what I’ll get. It’s just another stressor while traveling. I’m actually a fan of Hertz being pretty consistent with their models across locations.
It does when you consider a good chunk of people have 0 at the start... and new people come in but less people "leave" when the market is going up rapidly. Households is not a static pool.

If that doesn't compute... look at the chart in the article. Is it just a strange occurrence that the chart almost perfectly follows the stock market itself? That magical dip in 2008... ?

This is basic math. The article is bs.
Is that what you were referring to? The phrase "we have to collect customer data" implies a different thing entirely, so I misunderstood.

My objection to Microsoft's methods in this regard isn't the data that customers voluntarily and knowingly store on Microsoft servers, it's the collection of data about customers, their machines, and the use of their machines that happens behind the scenes.

I did something similar but got a flash cart and a CRT. The nostalgia aspect still works for me since I had a flash cart back then too, only that one was maybe double the size of the N64 itself and this one is the same size and shape as a regular cartridge. Interestingly both of them costed a few hundred bucks, though I guess the one from back then (I think it was the Z64 or maybe the Mr Backup?) would have been a lot more if you account for inflation. Would recommend, too many N64 carts are unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
Can some smart person here help me understand what this means in terms of average holding value per household? Like how much stock market wealth does the average household own? What's the average amount of stock market wealth held by the first, second, third and fourth quadrille?

If 93% of stock market wealth help by the wealthiest 10% represents $10k, that means something really different than if it represents $1m. Comparing percentages can be really confusing, particularly when talking about wealth.

Well yes, but as education is freely available, you’ll even get paid to study by the government, almost every applicant is going to have a relevant education. Or in the case of some people who’ve changed careers an education to show that they are capable of getting a degree and then a work history to show how they’ve transitioned into CS.

That being said your point isn’t completely without merit. But think about it from the management perspective, as I said, the wrong hire is the most expensive mistake you’ll make in middle management, so it’s more about risk management. If you get 10 good applicants, and pick the top 4-5 of those, then you’re likely left with 5 people who will each be a good hire. It’s not so much about finding the perfect hire, you’re just looking for a good hire, and part of the process of selecting those 4-5 people will be choosing people with good educations, or very good work histories. That might sort some people that are excellent out of the pile, but it also lowers the risk significantly.
Which in turn, corporations including Google, lobby to make sure that taxes are as small as possible, and we aren't reasonably funding unemployment benefits. They haven't even kept up with inflation, let alone substitute a standard of living that's even approximately close to middle class. Unemployment is a hell hole of despair in the US. Its not some "blip" or something, like in other countries that have better safety nets, people lose their homes, get kicked out of their rentals and all other things.

I'm making 5.3% on a savings account and have been making at least 4% for over a year. When the overnight rates go up, move cash into FDIC insured high yield accounts. If you're still getting no interest on your savings, you're being robbed.
Having people be this rich is a problem, though: periods of time where the wealth is superconcentrated have never been good for anyone, the economy slows down, because the superrich never consume in proportion with what they have, there is social unrest and eventually wars and revolutions. The times where wealth was less unequally distributed were the '50s and '60s, whereas we haven't seen this kind of inequality since 1914, and we all know what happened in the following 3 decades...
Investors want more growth and that translates to hiring more people to do more things.

Then it’s painful when more people slow things down because there wasn’t much process in place before the blitz hiring.

This isn’t a problem unique to engineering, you see it a lot with sales too. Leaders aren’t experienced or self reflected enough to work smarter.

Cuckoo doesn't aid in detecting collisions, the algorithm is about what happens IF a collision is found. The whole reason we're hashing in the first place is to not have to linearly compare station names when indexing.

In other words: Cuckoo is a strategy to react to the case if two values map to the same hash. But how to know weather you have two different values, or two of the same, if they have an identical hash?
And to further explain, if you don’t increase your near-term profits/shift priorities from future growth to present returns as interest rates increase, under the discounted FCF model your current value decreases. AKA the price of the stock goes down, which shareholders and executives tend not to like.

I dunno if I agree with that; I drive back and forth from the bay area to Tahoe area several times a year, mostly in winter months. In the past, I would rent a 4WD SUV for the trip (variety of makes and models). A year and a half ago I bought a Mercedes sedan (with 4WD) and that drive is way more comfortable and stable now.

Maybe I just had bad luck with the rentals I chose?

This is a weird take, even if the game is rigged no amount of market manipulation can defeat just buying and holding.

Those are limits on tax advantaged accounts. You can put any amount of money you want into whatever market and have the growth taxed at capital gains rates. If you're talking about backdoor Roths you can (and should) take advantage of it, it's not a rich-person only thing.
So many people seem to confuse beating GPT-3.5 in general to be the hallmark. It's immediate hint they have no idea. There's a clear and vast difference between GPT-4 and 3.5, making GPT-3.5 almost worthless except for fast summarisation tasks perhaps.

You really haven't done much with those models if they seem remotely comparable.

To me GPT-3.5 can just summarise and provide general answers to questions, but GPT-4 can actually understand nuance and to me what seems to be reasoning.
n8n is the tool that is used to build the automation shown in the tutorial, leveraging the OpenAI Vision API. That is possible because it offers quite an open way to make HTTP Requests, using the node for it.
Yes, you need to define a valid JSON as an input for the API, but I would still consider it way more beginner-friendly than using the SDKs where you would have to write "real" code and care about deployment and executions.

Why they aren't computing the next token marginal and sampling that? All I'm coming up with is that it's a reasonable way to work around dealing with different tokenizers.
I'm not quite sure how n8n works after reading the docs, but our company Reflect provides an AI-driven approach to automation that may be similar, but for a more narrower use-case: automated end-to-end testing.

You can see a video example of how it works in our docs here (https://reflect.run/docs/recording-tests/testing-with-ai/), but the idea is that you describe the actions and assertions you want to take in plain-text prompts, and the AI interprets those prompts in real time and executes them against a running browser session. In practice, it's a lot like writing a manual test script and having it automatically execute. We use both GPT 3.5 and 4 and will be releasing Vision support once OpenAI has deemed the gpt-4-turbo-with-vision model ready for production use.
He's the biggest private farmland owner, at 270,000 acres. The largest private landowner (from a google search, I didn't vet much) is the Emmerson family with 2.411 acres.

We should've gotten single payer. The insurance lobby is just too strong, I guess.

In several recent years, I would've been better off not having insurance and paying out of pocket because I never (or just barely) hit the deductible. Even when my deductible was lower, if you added up my premiums against what was covered I still probably overpaid most years. So all I've been doing is subsidizing someone else's bills while paying my own on top of it.

Yes, I know this is how insurance works, but it doesn't feel great to keep paying out so much money while getting nothing for it but vague promises they likely won't have to keep which expire every year.
In my experience, this mostly is because the “hiring bar” at big companies is frequently disassociated from actual day-to-day work. It typically looks like

1. memorizing some 50-200 or so domain-specific general patterns which problem solutions will tend to follow, so you can solve an arbitrary leetcode medium in under 20 minutes time — a skill that has almost nothing to do with the plumbing and product work most tech-workers engage in on a day to day basis, and

2. Speak at length and extemporaneously on arbitrary from-scratch system design problems — a skill which, while sometimes important, is a skill which most engineers that aren’t working at a startup won’t usually exercise more than once or twice a year, as the ratio of work on “systems already designed” to “systems needing new designs” will overwhelmingly skew towards pre-existence.

When your hiring process and day job are so thoroughly dissociated and unrelated to each other, it’s not a surprise current workers who aren’t actively studying for a job change couldn’t pass it.

You're conflating many many things, and between university and middle school (ages 10-14) children, also conflating the huge difference between them theoretically having "access to" ideas or people, versus getting recommended that several times an hour by online recommender systems, feed from friends etc.

> EV charging is 100% new generation capacity and doesn't take any of the existing load off the power grid.

All the more important to ensure this additional demand is flexible. Shaping it to match renewable production and low-usage hours in the distribution grid means higher capacity factors across the board and less new transmission+distribution need.

What does the average company spend on R&D percentage-wise?

My old company was a contract engineering company, so they always tried to staff everyone possible on projects being paid for by customers. R&D was used to develop internal tech and build expertise on new technologies so it was only maybe 10-25% of most engineer's timesheets.

Do other tech companies spend that much more on R&D?
