This is so spot on and point taken. The idea at the results page was to have filters to allow users reduce the amount of results shown. But, yes you are right the requirements list returns `one mighty scroll`. I will have a think of ways to tame it.

> fidelity
I had mixed results for company recognition from a NER perspective, and this keyword I am afraid is the product of that. I have some ways to reduce reliance on NER here, will see if that fixes it.

> disability
these type of words are slightly more nuanced as in some cases these will be relevant keywords... this I will have to iterate more.

> sentence samples
I expect the model to get better over time to weed these out. I am somewhat weirdly confident about it as I have seen 1st hand how it missed obvious things in earlier versions, but is doing much better now.

all in all thank you once again for taking the time, have a great day.

> no sensible game studio or animation director would want to pay full price for an AI performance. The AI isn't going to be able to satisfy the precise demands of the director at a recording session, at least without a lot of domain specific training and extra work.

You’re assuming that it will be used for production. With a model than can spit out sentences on demand, game writers can try out a lot of different dialogue for draft storylines then have the final version recorded by the voice actor.
FTA: "In November 2019, the average transaction price for a new vehicle was $38,500."

Let's be real, that was unaffordable to most Americans at the time. But, people are also buying what they want, not what they need. You need basic transportation? A used Honda Civic is a great bet. There are lots of used ones, less than 5 years old and many with fewer than 30K miles, available in my area for under $20K.
It's worse than that. If you're rich you can pay to use the 'car pool' lane to get down to the googleplex.
Hmm do you know of other cases of this that I could look into?
That's weird! I've deleted the other posts now. Sorry, all.

It has the best ECS design I've ever seen for a game engine. Super fun to use. Currently no editor and you need to wrap your head around ECS, but it will definitely push you to improve your rust skills.

Edit: Also it can be compiled for WASM.
That one penny eBay truck may have been meant to confuse people in some cases, but it was more likely that it was a way to get around eBay fees. For a time, ebay only charged their 15% based on the sale price, exclusive of the shipping cost. Once eBay noticed a lot of people doing this, they changed their fee structure and I very soon after started seeing a lot fewer penny items with high shipping cost.
On Hacker News and Reddit especially I am always flabbergasted by the tendency to ascribe some sort of wisdom and intent to the actions of early-stage founders.

If my experiences as an early-stage founder have taught me anything I can assure you that we don’t know our asses from a hole in the ground. Founding a company is a game where you throw shit at the wall as quickly as you possibly can until something sticks and then you desperately try to figure out why it stuck. If you can figure that out, you might just have product-market fit.

This is especially true for a first time founder. You learn as you go.
Also, a used Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a lot more expensive than a used Toyota Corolla. "Average" isn't the right way to look at this.

Copilot's unlicensed handling of people's code is one of the few areas where "you can't just ignore the license when it comes to training/reproduction" is popular around here.
25 Gb Ethernet roughly matches a PCIe Gen 3 NMVe drive’s max throughput 50 Gb will match Gen 4. These are RDMA capable.

It seems 25Gb dual port Mellanox CX-4 cards can be found on eBay for about $50. The cables will be a bit pricey. If not doing back to back, the switch will probably be very pricey.

Yes, that was my point - 10Gbps is just way too slow, even full Thunderbolt bandwidth can be easily saturated in raid configuration - NVMe are just incredibly fast.
TIL about meson-python, which appears to be the most popular method after setuptools to build C extensions. There are 80 projects out of 107,757 analyzed pyproject.toml files, and SciPy and NumPy migrated to Meson.

I use setup.py legacy because of my semi-complicated requirements for C and Cython-based extensions (including a code generation step, and per-file compilation options, and compiler-based compilation and link flags). Knowing that SciPy and NumPy managed to migrate means Meson might be the right option for me.

The PyPA docs about "Packaging binary extensions" at https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-bina... still says "Last Reviewed 2013-12-08".

What exactly is the argument here? That since in 1965 people could barely afford a car it's okay if now we've regressed to the point where 60 years later people can now again barely afford a car?
You keep using that word (exponential), but I do not think it means what you think it means.
It seems from the description that FSRS still puts an exact review date on each card? This feature was pretty much the reason why I stopped using Anki. I'm not in college and not doing exams, I just want to practice when I feel like it, maybe with large breaks between sessions, and not feel like there's a backlog building up.

I think Anki is a great app, I just wish there was an algorithm that would just randomly sample cards (with probability proportional to how urgently you need to review it) rather than put a review date on them. Something like https://github.com/fasiha/ebisu but available as an Anki plugin (if that supports custom algorithms on mobile yet?) or a similar app with an open format for cards.

There are a lot of nuances based on the type of license associated with the code that was used to train copilot.
Have there been breaches of license agreements? I think so. I have no way to prove it (there may be organizations who have). Should those breaches be litigated? Yes.

However, in that same vein, this should be litigated as well.
Science is not a substitute for morality, the two go hand in hand. The Left however invokes a powerful ploy to attempt to redefine their various preexisting perspectives on morality as being “Science”: they take questions of morality, cast them into questions of science (injecting their own moral bias in the process), and select those studies which answer those questions in ways which affirm their existing moral biases. They therefore always end up feeling they are on the side of “The Science”, while ignoring (willfully or not) that they have selected from the beginning that very science which was on their side.

based on the audio Techmoan has posted, “not great” is probably an understatement. “fair” to “poor” is what it sounds like.
The difficulty of the technology is crucial to understanding what is happening right now. Developing ai is _hard_, unless you cheat and steal content, plagiarise people, and the promise riches to those replacing said people.

What caught my eye is that according to the IMF jobs in the west will be affected harder than elsewhere. Meaning poor countries will benefit more. Also as with manufacturing jobs will be sent there since lower skilled workers can now perform the same task better and cheaper.

The only real issue with ai is that people will indeed be replaced, not fully, but where they are expensive by those that are cheap.

Furthermore, services such as health care and education will regress significantly in the west. Instead of solving the underlying issues your doctor will be replaced by a fast and concise google search made by ai on your behalf. The future looks bleak in the west to be honest.

So called ai will in fact mean a massive transfer of knowledge from rich to poor countries, while keeping poor countries rich, and people in rich countries poor and docile - as it has always happened when tech was designed to “help and enhance”.

I think they may have thought that if they built something great that "management" would make the other teams adopt Fuchsia at the core somehow. Of course other teams just develop a defensive stance and guard against that politically and, as Android has done, by adopting their ideas. The later is good actually, since incremental changes are so more likely to land and stick.

I agree that taxes need to be applied separately so the public knows how much they are paying in taxes. Also, if you required including the tax, it would not be possible for most sites to advertise any prices without the user creating an account, providing their shipping address and logging in, since tax rates vary by country, county, even municipality.

It’s always rich to see software developers working in a “get as many of them as we can afford” industry having such lofty and skeptical views of AI’s impact on labour markets. Not everyone is building compilers at Google. You know how many small businesses will say “I don’t need that copywriter, I’ve got ChstGPT!” It literally already happens. Even if they save the human for “the important stuff,” it still changes the equation.

Of course usually when I say this people begin to walk down the path of what essentially ends up being “yeah, well, that’s not real work anyway”.
I was at Google then too. I had the same questions when I was asked to work on the team or even just collaborate with the team on Chrome support.

I think it would have been fine to just throw the Android runtime in a container. That wouldn't be useless - it was still a great opportunity to reinvent the kernel and the Linux driver model, and all of the other parts of the system.

I find the "staff retention" thing confusing. Sure, I understand talented people want some freedom and flexibility, but I don't think that having a team of 400+ people go crazy for years with no plan is the only way to retain. Why not let them go crazy for a while but then force them to downscope, pick a real need and solve it with their tech?

Or, why not make it more incubator-style? Instead of a team of 400, have 10 teams of 40 and give them a year to build something amazing, then turn only the top 1 or 2 into products and send the others back to the drawing board?
Icelander here. I'd find the idea of having a tornado tearing through my back garden more scary than the idea of an volcano opening up there.

"I think." Just from eyeballing the amount of dust in the air when the sun shines on it while scraping it off.
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts. One question I have though—you say the Nest Home on Fuchsia didn’t have any new features enabled by Fuchsia. What specific features enabled by Fuchsia could have been used in Chrome OS? As I understand it almost all of the isolation there is provided by applications running inside of the browser sandbox, which is provided by Chromium.
I'm not objecting to knowing what the taxes are, I'm objecting to companies being able to hide the taxes to make switching look like a better deal than it actually is.

If Verizon advertises, say, $50/mo cellphone service, they're actually going to charge you an extra $15 or so, but they won't tell you what you're paying in taxes until you've actually signed up for the service and paid the switching costs. I want Verizon to advertise $65/mo ($50/mo base + $15/mo fees).
Except if the Republicans win this time around, it looks like we’ll have a populist dictatorship for the foreseeable future.
> I don't understand the view that MIT and Apache 2.0 make it possible for corporations to somehow destroy or enclose the commons. Code is code. It can't be destroyed, its cost of duplication is effectively zero. If I take some open source code, add my changes and distribute a paid, closed-source, version, nothing has been removed/lost.

You are technically correct in this, and technically speaking perhaps I should have put what I said in terms of the free rider problem, not necessarily enclosure of the commons, but two things: first, I do think what corporations do with open source software is to some degree more analogous to such an enclosure, since in a free rider problem we typically imagine a few or even very large number of lazy individuals just not paying for something, whereas in the enclosure of the commons it is the rich and large corporations benefiting from the work of more common folk, and the power dynamics of what happens in software look more like the latter than the former. Second, you're forgetting embrace, extend, extinguish, which very much does have the effect of destroying things by commercial cooption and absorbtion.

> Certainly they make it hard/impossible to build a business from Open Source code. Unfortunately in an economic system designed to maximise the reward for value capture at the cost of value creators this is a common problem. But I believe the answer to that is more communism, not more licenses with more convoluted requirements creating jobs for legal departments for shared code.

I sort of view licenses that require contributing any improvements you've made to something back to the collective pool from which you got it as a form of communism, even if in this case it is embedded in and enforced by a capitalist system.
> No! A set of bits exists on disk. A piece of software (git) interprets those bits as a branch

I call what you describe there an abstraction. So, feels like I'm going full circle here to my original comment.

My (possibly incorrect or incomplete) understanding is that abstraction is when some complex underlying mechanism is presented in a manner that serves a specific purpose. In essence the difference between an abstraction and a social construct is that an abstraction deals with simplification of ideas and presenting them in a manner that makes it easy to interact with them.

While social constructs are about shared understanding of ideas regardless of whether these are reified in any manner or whether there is are ways to interact and engage with them.
While I think it’s dumb to sell 8GB devices, I’m coming to the conclusion 256GB may not be a problem for normal people.

If your pictures are in iCloud or Google photos, your music is streamed, and other stuff is in iCloud or Google drive or whatever so most people need a ton of space these days?

I’m not arguing Apple’s RAM/storage prices are sane. They’re not. But with so much in the cloud or just being done in the browser instead of a large downloaded app i’m not sure normal users really benefit.

Paying for cloud storage may be a better deal, especially since I suspect the cloud is less likely to randomly lose data than if you forget your laptop somewhere or break it without a backup.

If you want to do video editing or a lot of programming that’s probably not gonna work. But if you’re mostly going to do “office task“ kind of things of typing and surfing and listening to music or watching YouTube maybe 256 GB isn’t so bad.

Base configuration should still be 16/512 in my opinion. But I’m not sure it’s as bad as it would’ve been 10 years ago to go low on storage.
Ah, my bad. Apologies for overeager correction.

I've worked with a fair number of less experienced, ChatGPT focused engineers and they aren't all that different from the Java engineers of yore that were completely helpless outside of an IDE and could only work extending existing code. These latter engineers where the exemplar "blub" programmers from PG's famous essay [0].

But clearly using an IDE does not make one a bad programmer any more than using ChatGPT will in the future. The bigger issue is the field is awash in people not really interested in programming. There's nothing wrong with this as everyone has to make a living, but this has a far bigger impact on the quality of engineers out there than the nature of the tools used.

Not long ago I was at a hip Bay Area startup and I don't think any of my coworkers, senior or otherwise, spent a second of their free time thinking about programming. For me I program for a living because it's great to get paid to do my hobby during the day. Getting started in the field during the shadow of the dotcom bust, the majority of the senior engineers that inspired me were likewise obsessed with programming and would be programmers even if it paid minimum wage. I don't think I would have necessarily become a programmer today since I wouldn't have been near enough the flame to ignite my own spark.

Whether it could work for someone else, is an entirely different story... but on the other hand, I have no big ambitions.

This may be true with regard to the general concept, but how does it relate to the decision to try to skirt the iMessage rules? Validating that people want a feature is different from (and somewhat orthogonal to) ensuring you can actually deliver it.
