I'm not claiming to have worked out how to make this all function. I'm just pointing out that the cost of duplicating a novel approaches zero and the assumption that the way we're assigning value is the only one that works leads to a world where we must deny people things they could have in order to preserve their value. This does not seem morally correct to me. I do not need to have a solution in order to identify a problem. Perhaps we could make strides toward a future where you don't need to be independently wealthy to write a novel by having some sort of a UBI scheme.
There is a huge difference between software and non-software STEM jobs. The required education/qualifications are different. The job market is different.

I graduated with a degree in Engineering Physics (non-sofware). I loved writing software as a hobby, but I wanted to "change the world" working at NASA or CERN or something.

In my 3rd year a FAANG offered an internship that paid better than what I would hope to make at NASA. I took it. Been in software ever since, bouncing between FAANGs and startups. I don't think I'll ever change the world. But hey, I have a family I can support.

Big tech steals you away with offers you can't refuse.

Basically my expected, actual diverged in this manner:

Path1: Not software

- Complete undergrad
- Join an engineering firm
- Definitely make <6-figures
- Wait years before you become a professional engineer
- Maybe make 6-figures

Path2: Software

- Maybe complete undergrad
- Join a FAANG
- Make 6-figures as a new grad
Yeah see what I said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39033274

Though to be fair, there is no reason that experimental features cannot depend on other experimental features.
>source? (I am challenging you :) ).

The entire jobs market. Look it up.

STEM jobs doesn't mean BigTech. Mechanical engineering is also STEM. So is chemical engineering, architecture, etc.
I want to search the local computer, to launch an app, not search the internet.
> A neural net designed to do nothing other than compress and decompress a copyrighted work is completely different than GPT-4, unless I'm uninformed.

Compression and the output from LLMs are cousins. The model tries to predict what continuations are likely, given context. Indeed, it takes a lot of effort to make LLMs less willing to just output training data verbatim. And conversely, you can get compression algorithms to do things similar to what LLMs do (poorly).

Whether this also describes most of human cognitive process, is subject to debate.
Particularly if that commute required going through TSA, sitting in an economy seat. Even with pre-check it sounds unpleasant.

I have heard stories of people supercommuting via train, which at least is not totally dead time and is more comfortable.
And, in addition, there is a limited exception to the import ban for the purpose of replacing/repairing existing devices. People who bought the watches before tomorrow (or whenever imported supplies run out) are not affected.
> it also skews communist.

Interesting claim. Care to substantiate it a bit ?
They certainly don't have uniform customer service across the country, and that's a much more appropriate comparison IMO.
As humans our days on this planet are numbered.

It surprises me how we are all sleep walking to extinction and "the masses" truly don't give a damn?
Yes, and they're based in the country I live in. I don't understand your point. I can't make it out from your passive aggressive wording.
What's truly amazing about this whole situation is that Brin and Page literally called it:

Everyone—Everyone, who mattered (plus many others who didn't) knew exactly what would happen as Google went deeper and deeper into ads. But it made line go up real well, so....
100W in a car at -30℃ i doubt can do something more than gives you extra minutes before freezing... An Webasto-alike with a 20l diesel tank might last a bit, if anything is inside, 12V included to keep the webasto on. But nothing more. At -1 well, that's another story.

About torque: no doubt that an electric motor can dose, actually the car pedal sensitivity do not allow the same, specially on slippery or steep roads, at least that's my experience with my modest MG ZS and few others EVs I've tried. Of course, someone might add a "parking mode" to help, but who have done that so far?
Please do share the outcome. I believe there is interest in this. Apple Notes is always there and convenient, which pulls me back.
Sorry - are you saying this is what's happened to remote tech workers?
The bug Netflix tripped over was something I introduced while shaving off milliseconds, yes.

The "other issues I didn't get around to fixing" are things like precomputing lookup tables (we can wait and do them on demand, or not at all if they turn out to never get used) and an O(n^2) issue registering names of sysctls.
$1B is 1000x smaller than Apple's market cap.
The example calendar they show makes me anxious and realize that even though I run my life from a calendar, I don’t want to micromanage my time to that extent. Even if I became incredibly productive through use of the product, I never want that kind of life.
The thing is even though I went to school for EE, I found it weird that EE jobs demanded an incredibly wide and difficult to obtain skillset, including rudimentary CS knowledge, yet paid less than what I could sell said CS knowledge for.

We live in a society.
I don't know how accurate/inaccurate the overall argument here is, but they're saying "STEM" a whole lot when their criticisms are pretty specifically about tech, and mostly software companies.
More likely, Apple pulls blood oxygen information for new Apple Watch sales until September when they introduce a hardware redesign for the Series 10.

This is a probably the least notable feature of the Apple Watch. If you live at a normal altitude and are healthy, your blood oxygen will be >95% all the time.
By this logic, all medicine should be free. Of course, that would result in pharma companies deciding not to spend billions of dollars researching ways to create new drugs. I'm not saying the existing system is optimal, but it's overly facile to say that O2 sensors are a social good, therefore any company ought to be able to implement patented methods related to O2 sensors.
So you're admitting this has nothing to do with actual concerns about academic integrity, and instead is about an "oncoming storm" to purge woke social justice lunatics?

Sounds about right. Glad you have no "agenda" though.
Try creating a calendar view in your database and filter it with your name or any properties. It works for me.

My old school electronics company has gone through some recent EE grads.

One of them is very sharp and definitely could have done the grind even 20 years ago.

The other three I have absolutely no idea how they passed those classes. They aren't engineers either, they are technicians doing low level work. All three also completely whiffed to a worrying degree when given a basic assignment to see how well they knew electronics (the one who is an engineer smashed his assignment no problem.)
Interested in more of your perspective on this. Please expand on your opinion around all conservatives “creating a hellish world for everyone”.
The fun part about that is that this method gives better results than searching on Reddit.
> Features standardized in c++20 are still not available in the most popular compilers

"A few years" was also the feature support cadence of '17 through '11 features.

And, before that, the 3-year release cycle wasn't a thing yet.
You may have changed more than you give yourself credit for, my experience at a highly-regarded place 20 years ago was that homework and showing up and passing the final went a similarly LONG way. But it was easy to not do those things.

>The o2 sensor on the apple watch is a net win for the wider society.

Doctors' work is also a net benefit to society, yet we still pay them handsomely because nobody works for free, nor do companies develop IP for free.

If Apple cared about the net benefit to society or at least its customers who buy their products, they should have just paid to license the apropriate IP. It's not like they're short on cash.
Yep, this is a very fair point. My opinion is really, "we're doing this all wrong", but I also don't have any idea how to redirect the ship.

My university had the CS program under the engineering department, and I think it served me very well as someone planning on a career building software, but I doubt it served the people hoping to do actual computer science research nearly as well. And I doubt they would have known that when they signed up for the program. It was called "computer science", after all, so to your point, it seems reasonable to assume that's what it would prepare one for.
They probably looked at a lot of other ones, but you hear about this one only because they found an issue with it.
OpenAI is working with the US military now
Seems like a change in their previous stance, defense-tech and working with the gov is "in" now. I would be so curious to know if this was an Altman initiative that would have been shot down by the previous board.
A patent could be invalidated if it's something that can't be made, so you can't patent futuristic ideas. Or at least, if you try, and someone calls you on it, it's invalid.

But you can patent inventions that do exist but are crap. Many inventions are crap, and that's okay. If you have a bad invention, you still have an invention.
This has nothing to do with licensing. The motivation was that the various Redis clients are inconsistently being maintained, have different features, and perform differently. Having a core rust implementation handle the heavy lifting makes it easier to build the per-language bindings.
Some of the news coverage I saw a few weeks ago said that this is true for in-warranty repairs, but not out-of-warranty repairs. Obviously this wouldn't apply to any newly-purchased devices, which have a 1-year warranty. But it could affect owners of Series 8 watches, for example, if they haven't bought AppleCare (which extends the warranty past 1 year.
Most corrupt police forces at least have the decency to keep it hush-hush and these cops hand out fucking courtesy cards? That's hilarious.
Why is this guy such a celebrity on here?
> Employers also incentivize moves from technical work to management with higher salaries at their own firms, yet many bemoan a shortage of technical STEM workers, not managers.

Well... yeah if you have X engineers in the class of 1990, then in order to continue to be able to provide STEM services at the same rate a decade after that cohort retires in 2055, you'll need X graduates in 2000. Obviously, you can't just depend on aging workers, or you'll run into the retirement and death problem and be unable to continue the endeavor. This is not unique to STEM. All industries require new workers to be produced. Humans die, retire, and move on. Without a constant supply of new workers, industries fade, inventions never happen, progress ceases.

Also, a STEM manager is very much a technical worker. You have to be delusional to think you can substitute an MBA for an Engineering Manager.
Ha! How did you even find that?
Most of them are driving and sustaining user engagement in online services of some kind. It's mostly a zero-sum game between many services competing for user time and attention.
I don’t know, as many times as I approached ORMs in Rust, every time it felt more like it’s easier to ditch Rust altogether than to use an ORM. At some point you simply reach a significant complexity of your model declaration at which it’s no longer efficient to go on. All the implicit limitations start getting even more restricting. I settled on working exclusively with sqlx and Tokio-Postgres for my requirements.
Lessons learned from building our first AI product on OpenAI
Which mechanical engineers are doing that?
I don't care about the grammatical mistake (and you didn't "learn" anything then, no knowledge was gained).

What bothers me is the passive-aggressive way the other person pointed it out.
West Virginia is an odd case with the same chewy nougat center as racism: the exploitation of labor and resources, and the extreme punishment of anyone who fights back, or who even simply truth-tells (hence GP being flagged), up to and including multi-generational blood libel becoming ingrained in the culture, enabling all kinds of long-lived atrocities.

As for GP, one might expect his case to be bolstered if you had examples of his contention. And, well, gentrification exists. Should probably be unflagged and discussed civilly.
Yep, only in-warranty repairs (including AppleCare). If your device is out of warranty and the "repair" actually means a full replacement then you aren't getting a replacement with blood oxygen enabled.
That's my point, and why I quoted that part. The only bit of this that needed some kind of big training push was computer nerdery, and that, mostly for selling ads better. Putting that under the "STEM" umbrella gave that crap an association with, you know, things that actually matter, which made selling it easier and generally raised CS' prestige (in a PR-campaign sort of way).
That's fine, emissions from trains or buses are order of magnitude smaller than that of air travel
For anyone wanting to do this calculation yourself, this site is really good: https://www.aa.quae.nl/en/reken/zonpositie.html

I've previously used the formulas on this site to calculate the altitude/azimuth of the Sun and all the planets from a given lat/long/time on Earth.
In my well-informed, expert opinion backed by decades of experience, it would have been best to add this wording:

"When size is zero, the realloc function shall free the original object, regardless of whether allocating the new object is successful, and thus regardless of the value returned."

With a footnote explaining the ambiguity that exists otherwise, and that existed historically.

A small change in some implementations here would be better than taking a wrecking ball to defined behavior.
Defamation usually rest upon the reasonable person standard. Should a reasonable person read or see this information would they believe that it's true when in fact it is not. A suitably modified image could fool a reasonable person into believing it was true and harm the reputation of another. Of course satire is protected or labeling it as not true therefore a reasonable person could not believe that it was true.

One of the problems is is there's no unified standard as the supreme Court has not heard of many cases that delve into this especially in relation to underage or possibly underage images. Of the cases that they usually hear when it is not in fact a real thing they usually strike the statue down as being overly broad. There are other cases that they just flat out refuse to hear and therefore the lower courts rulings will stand. Lower courts are influenced much more by local community standards which can vary depending on which part of the country you're in.

Overall I really think this is more of a growing pains of a society and we should focus on maturing as a society more than trying to restrict behaviors with Draconian laws.
I suggest you write a file system, then write a database and then re-evaluate whether you still think the same way.

Show HN: IToy - Your friendly neighbourhood image processor for Unity!
Hiya,

Demo Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQH5kt5HwDM&ab_channel=rohan

IToy is a non-destructive image editor within Unity. The moment you wish to start editing a file, IToy creates a "toy" file that allows you to play with the image further. All actions are non-additive; they are based on the original image at all times. The changes are overwritten to the same file, but fear not — you can always restore the original image, focusing on reducing clutter in the editor.

Features:

Is it production-ready, jank-free and smooth sailing at the moment? Big nope
But can it flip images? YES! Forget a single flip; flip them 100,000 times [no guarantee that memory is released properly at the moment :^)]

Are certain features like Scriptable Objects used the way they were designed to be? Probably not.
But can it crop images? YES, times four (all margins)

Occasional error messages, unexpected crashes, and seemingly never-ending bugs? Yes, sir!
But can it color correct? Also, YES!

Is the background removal perfect? No, far from it actually
But can it remove the background? YES

But, more importantly, above all, is it the start of something? SOLID YES.

My point in this post is not to showcase the plugin but to encourage you to ask the more important questions in life.

Okay, jokes aside — I am a JS web developer, pretty new to C# and Unity.Let me know what you guys think!

Code is MIT Open source! https://github.com/rohanharikr/IToy :^)
GrapheneOS on Pixel makes 98% of Android problems go away. Just side-load F-Droid from the initially secure and barren state, install Aurora and Syncthing from F-Droid, configure Syncthing to pair with a PC partner (gives you that cloud feeling), and you have the absolute basics for a feature-equivalent Android device without all the rentier-model enforcement which comes on Soisung devices. If you need Google-stuff, GSF is available fully sandboxed and you can use Android profiles to highly isolate if so desired.

There is no good reason which comes to my mind to go with anything else if a sane, secure, privacy- and sovereignty-respecting mobile device is what you are after. 98% of devices are just beautiful overpriced subscription and microtransaction cash-traps. Just like setting a snare in the wild to catch a rabbit, Apple (and competitors) have constructed a beautifully seductive snare for you!
Yes of course you can. Just run `signify -V` in userspace under the pre-kexec() kernel to check the signature on the post-kexec() kernel/initrd.

You can network boot too; just run `busybox udhcpc`.

I think you misread my comment. I never described signature-checking or network boot as bloat. I said it was stupid to have to implement these things twice (once in mainline Linux and then all over again in kooky UEFI-land with its bizzarre API, ABI, and wacky rules).

I still think it is stupid to do that, because it is. We have working, high-quality, battle-tested implementations of all this stuff. Use them.
I didn't take it passively aggressively at all, as the OP of this thread. Only you're doing so.
Thank you. For the curious: 49% of "computers, mathematics, and statistics" majors in STEM jobs (51% including STEM-related) versus 15% (46%) for "biological, agricultural, and environmental sciences" [1].

(Engineering is 49% (51%) while social sciences is 7% (11%).)

I love your reply, as it puts the finger on what I felt was missing from this simple answer that was otherwise very compelling!

Like there's exploration and exploitation, ikegai is the #2, but something like wanderlust is the #1: the "change/growth/discovery", or what someone else has called "the happy feeling of anticipation of unknowns that comes from a schooltrip/school vacation bus ride": meeting for the first time people who'll become new friends, seeing new things, and not knowing what may happen, yet having no fear of bad outcomes.

It's not exactly wanderlust or serendipity, but something close to that (I wonder if there's a word for it?) mixing adventure/curiosity/freedom and happiness/excitement/inspiration.

Having too much ikegai may prevent it, as it may be become a burden - like you explained about the burden of having to always defend a reputation.

You may need both this and ikegai, like you need exploration and exploitation - a ying and a yang.

> I'm fulfilled by beating the game. Resource acquisition is a Massive Multiplayer game.

Success (in creating then selling a company etc) seems to be just a basic resource acquisition - but then, what?

Getting fulfilled by beating the game may be like metagaming in board games: it may reduce the enjoyment of the game by putting too much focus on the exploitation part.

However, being your own lifestyle company makes it a game within the game: like doing speedruns, or trying to beat a game with each of the playable characters to see the alternative endings

That's the exploration: trying out new options to see if they lead to better outcomes in the future. Like research vs development: there needs to be risk taking before refinement.
We're working on a similar feature (that we call Textify) that is more production-ready: https://storia.ai/textify
Try to pay attention, we're talking about commercial journals. Scientists don't need them except insofar as their bosses expect them to publish in them. The parasitic nature of these journals is evident from the fact that some disciplines have successfully moved away from them.
As I said, everything other than a handful of countries are smaller than Apple. Does that make a billion-dollar company the "little guy" though? Is Chevron the "little guy" compared to Exxon?
I would not dismiss the link with individualism but I am not convinced that it is a cause, if anything I see it as a consequence. When you are raised as part of a large family with several generations in the same house you probably have a much stronger sense of community than a single kid raised by just two parents.
Programming is easy money, very little effort, much larger salaries.

I believe that the ECG feature is just not enabled in software for certain regions. The hardware required is still in the watches themselves. This means that Apple can make one version of each and sell them all worldwide.

On the other hand, it appears that Customs is not content with a software-only fix, based on the reporting here and previously. IIRC Apple had offered up a software fix, and seems to have been rebuffed. That's why they're now getting approval for a different device, which has the hardware removed.
It's hard to say, it may be both! But we get a page of notes for every exam in all of my classes pretty much without exception. I don't recall that ever being a thing.
look up the wet hourly rental cost for the plane youd be considering and use that as a guideline.

I have to disagree here. Events, reminders, deadlines and calendars are key to any project management. So far, the built-in calendar view wasn't good enough for anything substantial. Having a proper calendar experience could make me switch over for those use cases, and more.
