quit your job. too many people remain in a job for far too long. unless you are in a trajectory to become the vp of the company by 43, quit and start your own thing.

most people think of a job as a lifetime thing whereas it is a short paid bootstrapping session to learn how the adult world works.

after that you should be finding edges and exploiting them on your own.

Eventually for the product. My memory may be faulty but I talked with engineers working on it during development and I’m pretty sure the initial development was on Nvidia.
I disagree—It ratchets up.

Before Starbucks, the median coffee was worse. They showed the world that coffee is something more than Folgers or something you drink out of a carafe that’s been warmed for 6 hours.

When Starbucks came along it showed the world that coffee is a highly customizable beverage that could be served in thousands of modern stand-alone cafes around the world. That idea spread like a wild fire to the point where Starbucks became the norm, so today’s specialty cafes that this article criticizes popped up to elevate coffee even more.

Today we’re probably near some peak of “craft coffee in a loft cafe” that will become the new norm and the whole process will repeat itself again, elevating coffee even more. Even if this process reaches a global maximum we’ll see demand for novelty spread out into tea, Kambucha, etc.
Open source related application, for open source desktops like Linux (unfortunately not for open source Android/GrapheneOS currently), there's Alex Harsányi's ActivityLog2 (which is an impressive application in Racket):

Incidentally, I'd love to have an open source, privacy-respecting nutrition tracker that works on open source desktops. (I find my laptop much, much faster than phone for recording this data, at least in the ad hoc way I'm doing it, including things like weights of every ingredient that goes into a dish.)
Please don't mistake progression for completion.

And, I don't think comparing the two is logical, for price (Da Vinci is $2,000,000), end goal (the 500kg Da Vinci will never walk across the room and pick up a box), or even degrees of freedom.
Parentçs point is to compile and upload their own version.
I was one of the users that went and reported this issue on Discord. I love Kagi but I was a bit disappointed to see that their status page showed everything was up and running. I think that made me a bit uneasy and it shows their status pages are not given priority during incidents that are affecting real users. I hope in the future the status page is accurately updated.

In the past, services I heavily rely on (e.g. Github), have updated their status pages immediately and this allows me to rest assured that people are aware of the issue and it's not an issue with my devices. When this happened with Kagi, I was looking up the nearest grocery stores open since we were getting snow later that day so it was almost like I got let down b/c I had to go to Google for this.

I will continue using Kagi b/c 99.9% of the other time I've used it, it has been better than Google but I hope the authors of the post-mortem do mean it when they say they'll be moving their status page code to a different service/platform.

And thanks again Zac for being transparent and writing this up. This is part of good engineering!
You don't have to even coach. Just go to the practices/games.

My daughter plays hockey. The boring parents sit in the workspace area, on their computers, doing work. The rest hang out in the bar area that looks out over the ice chatting, playing (non-gambling) card games, etc. Hardly anyone has anything "interesting" going on, or if they did they aren't talking about it. Who cares, it's fine.
I've been in web development and SEO for almost 20 years now.

When I first started out all the veterans of SEO kept telling me not to do this, don't do that with things that could get your site buried in the SERP's. At the time Google's algorithm was really good at ferreting out affiliate links, link farms and other nefarious black hat techniques SEO's used to game Google.

Now? Complete opposite. I have several freelance clients and I've used every dirty SEO trick in the book and all of them have worked like magic to get my clients sites ranked on page 1 or 2 of the SERP's.

I have no idea what changed, but Google is super easy to manipulate now to get your site or specific pages ranking really high. I haven't heard or seen any of the horror stories I read and people blogged about constantly when I first started out for years - which tells me they're all probably doing the same thing I am and not seeing any repercussions.

Maybe Google doesn't care because users have become so savvy, they can filter through a ton of garbage in minutes to find what they really want?
Well I have recently found myself unemployed after mass layoffs at my company. Perhaps January isn't the best month, but it doesn't look overly positive in the US job market right now. I think even a good CV won't help too much because the market itself feels fairly cold. I would say you should try to rely on any network you have. That's what my plan is going to be, although my network in software engineering is considerably smaller than my network in accounting, but I don't see blindly firing resumes as a viable option. So while there is likely room for you to improve your resume, I think the job market itself is likely the bigger culprit here.

It's a shame there isn't an effective way on here to connect viable engineers who are talented and clearly care about the quality of their code to land work. Even the work at a yc startup site feels like it falls to the same shortcomings. If I could get a software engineering license similar to my CPA, I think that would be an effective way to quickly establish ability and reduce the hiring friction.
Maybe but multi tenant GPU use cases only really come up for cloud and cloud GPU popularity is only a little more recent.
>No one said arbitrary == random! Arbitrary in this discussion is meaning “a person chose it”.

Opposed to what what exactly? Nothing that can be perceived, processed, or communicated by humans fails this test. In that case, all language, logic, and thought is arbitrary. 2+2=4 is arbitrary, because someone chose definitions which fit within a logical construct of assumptions, and those rules too were selected by humans.

Something is not arbitrary simply because alternatives may exist. Alternatives can be more or less useful, and useful for different purposes.

Selection of a definition fit for purpose, is therefore not arbitrary, specifically Because it comes with implications and consequences. It is a distinction with a difference

>A very hot pepper has features of both food and poison. Most things are not perfect binaries, and if you put a dividing line on a spectrum, the placement of that dividing line must be arbitrary. Obviously people try to come up with good definitions of things, but that still doesn’t mean it’s a productive use of anyone’s time/effort deciding which side of an arbitrary divide a thing falls into.

I truly dont understand your example. Is it not a productive use of time to know if a hot pepper is food or poison, despite being on a spectrum? It seems to prove the opposite. Most things are not perfect binaries, but society doesn't throw up our hands and say it isn't productive to delineate food from poison. A definition of poison that excludes hot peppers is clearly more useful for nearly everyone, nearly all the time.

I go by the typical dictionary definitions or arbitrary:

a: existing or coming about seemingly at random or by chance or as a capricious and unreasonable act of will

b: based on or determined by individual preference or convenience rather than by necessity or the intrinsic nature of something

A definition that is thoughtfully constructed to fit within the greater body of human knowledge, logic, and utility is not random, capricious, or motivated by personal preference or convenience.
Printing press does not rely on work of calligraphers at all, not to become operational, not to continue functioning. new fonts and typefaces are created by an entirely different profession. Printing industry is still advancing and the number of calligraphers is basically zero.

Without artists, midjourney will never learn a new style. It is not capable of advancing.
I agree with you in principle, provided you have the time and resources to make the insurance company actually pay out what they're supposed to. It's been more my experience that the insurance company pays most charges and then you have to dispute one or two denials to the tune of a few hundred per ED visit. Or they have accounting errors or other problems that result in you being billed past your out of pocket max or your coinsurance. And so on.

It's not like it's a free market because you can't just kick them to the curb a month later like you can with car or homeowner's insurance.
It's tax time now so I get a wonderful breakdown of how much my company paid for my and my family's insurance (over $25k) and I also get to put together how much we spent out of pocket on health services (over $5k for a bog-standard pregnancy). If this is supposed to be some sort of bargain or good deal, I'm missing it. In the decade prior to this, my total premiums must have been over $200k for literally no usage.

I haven't seen the video, and doubt I will watch it. But based on this article, I'll say this:

I could not agree more with this sentiment:

No employee should ever actually be surprised they weren’t performing.”.

If you're firing somebody and they are surprised to find out that they were considered under-performing, then the fault is 100% with their manager. You can't expect people to be mind-readers. If you want somebody to do something, you absolutely have to tell them so. And when I say tell I mean really, honestly, tell them. No wishy-washy language, no weasel words, no bullshit. Just tell them (being polite and respectful of course). Something like "Foo, I was expecting you to do one hundred frizgibbits a month, and since you've been here you've been averaging 35. I really need you to step it up. What can I do to help?"

That last part is important. And you need to actually listen. Maybe the problem is training. Maybe the person needs some sort of accommodation related to a minor medical issue. Maybe there is another co-worker who's being a blocker. Who knows? The point is, criticize, sure. But also make an honest effort to help the employee get to where they need to be. If you do that and they don't perform, then sure. Then the firing conversation should involve no (or little) element of surprise:

"Foo, I asked you to up your output six months ago, and get closer to the one hundred frizgibbits a month milestone, and while you have gotten better, you're still 40% short of expectations (as we discussed last month). At this point I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go and look for someone else."

or something to that effect.

That said, even in that case, nothing says you have to immediately resort to firing somebody. As the old saying goes "don't fire them, fire them up." Maybe what gets them fired up is a lateral shift to a different position in the company that better suits them? Or changing to different working hours, or <whatever>. I personally advocate for trying very hard to avoid firing people, unless it's something like "stealing from the company" or "snorting cocaine while on duty (as an air traffic controller)" or something of that ilk.
Yeah you're right. I forgot I have davx installed, it's seamless for calendars, tasks, and WebDAV provided you have the correct third party apps installed that use it.
These achievements are impressive, but I'd rather not overhype it.

* GPT-4 still hallucinates as hell, can't do math, fails as basic logic, can't handle really big contexts, hard to update, easy to jailbreak etc.

* AlphaGo was defeated by a Go amateur with a help of another AI.

* AlphaStar basically failed to achieve real goals, was trivial to cheese even after defeating high-ranked players sometimes.

All these problems are architectural, you can't just throw more money and GPUs at it like GPT-2-3-4.

It's hard to predict at this point. We may get to AGI anywhere from 5 years to 100 years.
Yes, you've condensed the problem in display quite well here. It's not even just hypocrisy, but also short sighted behaviour.

Artists will learn to not trust the web, if they haven't already. The greatest time to train a model was yesterday, eventually no novel ideas, expressions, art will prosper on the "open" web. Just a regurgitation of some statistical idea of words, and pixels.
It's massively easier to just give someone a macbook that actually works properly and runs everything you need than to hand out people plastic chromebooks and mess around with remote development environments. Then if required, hire some testers to click around on cheap hardware. But realistically, the users on 2010 laptops aren't the ones paying the companies bills so no one really wants to spend money on them.
Ask HN: 87yr old yoga teacher asked me to manage her website. Where to start?
Hi HN, I've been helping a truly wonderful lady with basic computer and YouTube tasks. That's evolved into her wanting me to take over website updates/management from the current person, who will not be doing it after a couple months.

All I know is that: "it's currently edited using Macromedia Dreamweaver from 2004 and then the process entails fusing file transfer protocol to upload to the server host (webhero). The software and OS cannot be upgraded on my old laptop which has Dreamweaver'

What is the easiest way to get this transferred or independent from a mid 2000s laptop?

On a scale of 1-10 of general technical ability, I'm a 3.

Do we have another example? I don't think there are special terms for "octal digits" or "hexadecimal digits".

Maybe you should have engineering managers who understand the subject?
A fun thing is that even in Google JAX is now preferred across researchers and slowly taking over the share.
They certainly hyped them, but I hate mine. The post processing is way over the top, for one thing. And the raw images are just terrible.
I started building something like this for myself (as a CLI tool, so way less ambitious). It’s a pretty fun project with a tight feedback loop.

Parsing GPS data is surprisingly simple.

It surprised me to learn that different apps will “smooth” out measures like elevation and distance — it’s actually quite a rich problem space with a few interesting solutions.

Don't know how biased this leaderboard is, but I guess you could just give some of them a try and see for yourself.
I wonder if you could do something similar with QEMU user mode to run x86/x64 Windows applications with native architecture libraries…

Edit: I should have read further down

> The completion of the PE/Unix separation means that it's possible to run existing Windows binaries on ARM64.
If you just want to get stuff done, use the best tools like a Milwaukee Drill - and right now, thats copilot/gpt-4.

If you don't want to be tied to a company and like opensource, feel free to connect a toy motor to an AA battery to drill your holes... Or to use Llama/Stable Code 3B.
I would expect from a developer's perspective it makes sense to stick with Apple's mechanism until ARR * 0.30 = whatever it costs to run your own solution. (More power to you if you're the developer who can do that from the start, but that won't be most people.) I wonder, though, if the slow siphon becomes more obvious if it's attributed, in a customer's credit card statement, to [Game Co.] instead of [APPL]. I won't be sad if fewer people spend money on those types of games.
I realise naming is hard but, as a big fan of Sega's iconic 1980s arcade racing game and its sequels - and at willing risk of sounding a little bit gatekeepy - I must admit that I don't particularly appreciate this project's appropriation of the name OutRun.

Also, it doesn't appear to be getting a lot of activity, which suggest it's perhaps not a going concern.
"I do feel like an awful lot of this pressure to be interesting stems from people who have not cultivated such communities of choice and are left with a dire need to feel important to anyone who will pay attention to them."

This hit the nail on the head for me.
I think it's reasonable to at least act as if they really are trying to do what they say they're trying to do.

Like with the nuclear bomb situation - I think it would be reasonable for someone to try to stop you from building a nuclear bomb, or check if you really were, even if they had no idea how you could have gotten the materials. Because it would be really bad if you did. I think people would be worried about you trying to do something awful even if there was low confidence it was possible. They wouldn't be as worried as they would be if they thought you were more capable, but still worried.

So I guess that comes down to whether you think companies saying they want to make AGI are more like a toddler, a teenager, you, a ballistics engineer who owns a uranium mine, Lockheed-Martin, or a nation-state trying to make a nuclear bomb. My understanding is that people who are concerned about AI x-risk are largely in the teenager to Lockheed-Martin range (e.g., small eventual risk to large imminent risk), while I assume you think it's more in the toddler range (no risk at all for a long time)
Given that there’s no mention of fitness trackers, I assume you need to record the activity on your phone?

That’s not ideal, but I’m definitely not the target market as I’m happy to buy one of the higher end Garmin models.
"I am generally happy", good for you. That in itself is a huge accomplishment. Not everyone can say that.

My suggestion is to try different things even if you have to force yourself with the hope that you'll find something you enjoy and can share. There will be many things that you can share with your kids or as a family that will get you there. It's just a matter of trying. I know time is limited but you can carve out some time as a goal especially if you can do it with your family. Start with a family home evening where do the activities with your family.
It's not signaled / warned about by default. However, if you want to make sure your `foreach` loop runs on the GPU, you can use the `@assertOnGpu` attribute. For instance, the following program would not compile:

@assertOnGpu
foreach i in 1..10 { /* Do something that can't be done on a GPU. */ }

The compiler will print a message explaining why the loop was not eligible for GPU execution.
I just recently came back up from a deep dive through knowledge management systems, and Trilium is what I settled with. It might not look like much on the surface, especially compared to the bling and hype of the VC baked alternatives, but once the basics click (everything is a note, notes can have inheritable attributes, you build types of notes like in OOP inheriting from base notes by leveraging the hierarchy, instances are just notes that have a template relationship to the model notes and can be stored anywhere), it's a damn elegant and powerful tool.

Definitely underrated/highly recommended!

> You could also say that space based solar makes total sense "if you can do it, it's just a really hard engineering problem"

The thing is that while they are both really hard engineering problems, space solar (which includes energy transmission via lasers) is also a massive ongoing logistics and coordination problem.

Solar power without wireless transmission makes a lot of sense the closer you get to the sun and in the inner solar system it almost certainly makes more sense than fusion but once you get to the asteroid belt or further out, inverse square law would suggest that it quickly becomes infeasible.
A rabbit hole into poking around a whole mess of Wikipedia pages about specific numbers, which was pretty entertaining.

That said, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numbers is woefully incomplete.
The default tendency for cities over the last 100 years would have been to shrink due to the decrease in household size. In 1920, it was 4.3 people per household, today it is 2.5.

Some cities have increased population by expanding their city limits and annexing adjacent unincorporated areas or merging with other cities. And some cities had existing undeveloped areas. But for many cities, they were already completely built up and haven't increased their city limits. In that case, the main way a city can grow population is to replace single family detached houses with multi-family housing, or to replace smaller multi-family housing with multi-family housing with more units.

In metro areas that are constrained by geographical or regulatory constraints on the growth of suburbs, this was done. But in metro areas that don't have those constraints (most cities in the midwest) suburban land is cheap and that type of housing replacement doesn't make sense. When land is cheap, single family detached housing in the suburbs is cheaper to build per unit than multi-family housing, so that is primarily what gets built. In that case, even if there is no flight from the inner city or housing that is abandoned, the central city becomes less dense as household size declines.
> Danish people eat more Chinese

In this and the jewellers complex example, you may be elevating function in your mind over form.

The original article is about form.

To tie us back to the coffee shop example, your comment would be akin to saying that since Italian coffee machines make better coffee, it’s fine if more coffee shops use espresso machines.

That’s not the point being made - the espresso machine isn’t the issue - ensconcing people in a cocoon of familiarity even in new, unfamiliar places is.

Also, more simply put, SCOTUS declining to review a case is a tacit (and somewhat weak) way for them to state, "the lower court is probably right about this and we don't think we need to get involved".

Even for a hugely important issue, they might decline to hear the case on those grounds, if they think the lower court got it right. For some types of hugely important issues, of course, they might choose to take the case anyway (even if just to affirm the lower courts ruling), in order to establish binding precedent over all federal circuit districts (and below).
Or because those two companies created those platforms. I don't see why they owe it to other companies to lower their prices.
