Go do an actual sleep study some time. You'll be hooked up to a ton of sensors, and in the morning a group of doctors pour over the results, and they'll basically vote to decide on what the data means. "Oh this looks like REM".

So, to calibrate a sleep tracking device, you have a person wear the device, while also doing the sleep study. You do this a bunch of times. You train some ML models to try and make the outputs from the sensor data, after processing, the same as the study data.

After some degree of accuracy you declare success.

Now, does it work? In broad strokes, yes. You can (easily!!) see the effect of alcohol on sleep quality. If you have a crap night vs a good night, sure, a wrist based consumer device can figure that out.

Actual details? Eh. I wouldn't trust the devices for anything but directional data.

The more sensors devices get, the better than ML model can be trained.

Now it has been awhile since I last worked on this stuff (I actually just sat next to the people doing the work), so maybe there is some revolutionary new technique out there, but if not, it is still ML models trying to correlate things and match them up to what a bunch of fancier sensors said during studies.
The neonazi militias in the US is a consequence of the 2nd amendment thing, right? And I guess they don't actually do anything. There is some "Socialist Rifle Militia" to if I remember correctly.

However, my point is that having a non-trivial amount of active fascist militias doing things with the support of the gov., alone makes a country not a liberal democracy.

I might miss the notifications (exclusively for the messaging apps - for all other apps I don't want them to have notifications) but otherwise, the biggest annoyance would be on the airplane I wouldn't have some pre-downloaded streaming content from apps like Netflix and Youtube.
It's also a meaningless tautology. By definition, all of your ancestors reproduced successfully. However, it's also the case that every generation has a large number of individuals who don't reproduce. This is often a successful strategy for a species. It's not at all the case that one person is a failure because their ancestors reproduced and they didn't.
There is a tiny minority of people who insist on speaking nynorsk exactly as it is written, usually in an archaic style like the 1917 normal. Ironically, these people tend to live in Oslo or surrounding areas, where the dialect is far and wide away from nynorsk. It is e.g. pretty much the only group of people that use the “Noreg” form in actual speech. (Bokmål, and nearly all Norwegian dialects, use “Norge” for the country of Norway, but written nynorsk generally prefers “Noreg”.)

Also, in television and radio, you may hear people trying to speak nynorsk pretty much as it is written, especially if their personal dialect is much closer to bokmål. (So-called “NRK-nynorsk” :-) )

Unfortunately empty slices are pretty useful, particularly for strings. For example, if you want to represent HTTP response headers, you might include a bunch of nigh-ubiquitous headers in a struct and punt the others to a hash table, and you would then have to represent both empty-valued-and-present headers and missing headers for those headers you placed in the struct.
Yes, I arrived at the same conclusion.

The various code snippets in the article don't compute the same "function".
The order between the min() and max() matters even when done "by hand".
This is apparent when min is greater than max as the results differ in the choice of the boundaries.

Funny that for such simple functions the discussion can become quickly so difficult/interesting.

How are they possibly in compliance? The judgement was about Apple's "steering practices", not just allowing 3rd party payment processing.

They're clearly making Apple's in-app purchases the preferential choice by prohibiting developers from using anything but a single plain text link, and scaring users with strongly worded warnings.
I never got the idea because our busses had a sort of plastic bar tied to some plastic fabric that you could pull down over the windows. Worked pretty well for blocking the sun. Ofcourse this was way before internet became popular so I guess the ancient knowledge has been lost to humanity by now. The long distance busses also had some sort of air cooling function that they sometimes started up if it was a very warm day.

Todays busses don't even have heating in the winter. If I can't bike, I'm taking the car nowadays. Can't sit in a bus when it's -20 C outdoors and -18 indoors.

Focused on a particular industry and domain instead of jumping between industries on each contract.

All of us can write code - that's not a hard skill to find. But combining code with strong domain knowledge and a deep understanding of a specific industry is what turns the ability to code into a super power.

> If these things don't need to be trained on the work of others for whom they don't have consent and have not paid a license fee to, then why are they?

You made a point about meta training on non-publicly viewable/freely available works, such as pirated movies. That's why I made the point that using non-publicly viewable data is sufficient. At the same time I said that, using data for which you have neither consent nor license is indeed necessary, and for the training on such data the copyright/fair use considerations are complicated.

> I am pointing out that search is consensual.

If I train a diffusion model on images from google search,and make a paid latent-space search where I just show people some pictures without any claims of selling them rights to anything, then I claim that this is just as consensual as google images. That is because I took the source images from google images where they were consensually posted, and in the worst case my model is exactly reproducing them. More likely my model is only approximately/interpolatively reproducing them. Sure, you might change your robots.txt to update google image behavior and while model won't update, but I think generally if your images has been reposted, it is quite likely that your image is still searchable on google images, even if you change the robots.txt for your personal blog. So it's not like google is very good at updating consent either.

Perhaps there is a point to be made that my diffusion-search may not just reproduce your works approximately, for which I claim that consent is kind of given, but furthermore reworks or recombines them with other works. There it is perhaps true that new consent should be necessary.
Thanks - I learned something today.

The solution is very simple for me. Stop participating in the native app ecosystems.

The way I see it, you get 2 major pieces of value out of these. First, they serve as a B2C marketing channel. Second, they provide access to certain native hardware features & OS integration.

The first point is difficult to contend with, but HN and Twitter seem to serve as a fine counterpoint.

For native hardware access, I'd recommend just trying it in your browser right now. You'd likely be surprised what works in 2024 on iOS/Safari clients. We've been shipping just a webapp to our customers for the last 3-4 years now. We do 2D barcode scanning, signature capture, etc. without any difficulty these days. You DO NOT need a native app to access camera, location, etc. you may find some friction with the web, but you just have to work through it and have patience.

Watching founders obsess over App Store presence and its requisite taxation is a bit of a red flag for me regarding the effectiveness of their business model. The open web exists - why haven't you even tried it yet? Seems to me it's easier to complain about how unfair things are on twitter than it is to iterate into a viable business.
It's best to compare it to Webpack - both are pretty good. Vite is intuitive with fast build times and has HMR that's easy to configure. Webpack takes effort to configure but will likely have a well supported plugin for any edge case.

This is a great point and I think it illustrates the drawbacks of centralized store. I think an argument can be made that App Store is an important part of the developer experience and as such they are entitled to have a voice in what features it should prioritize.

The thing is, I fully agree that the model has to change and adapt. There has to be more transparency, more accountability, and these stores have to improve in a way that best fits the interests of the developers and the users. I just don't think that third-party stores or unrestricted side loading will do anything like that — in fact, I fear that they will make things considerably worse.

Highly agreed. It helps to go to a school where maybe there are people of similar age (usually in part time programs there are more older people). I'd say it's more impressive to finish school at an older age just due to how much more "life-management" there is then.

Exactly. A CV is a marketing tool to get you to an interview. These days you probably have to make sure all the right keywords are in there too so you don't get filtered out by a machine, as well as getting noticed by a human.

I've reviewed hundreds, if not thousands, of CVs in my time. This CV, while not absolutely terrible, is most definitely not great, and I'd go so far as to say below average.

It does not help the person reading it make a positive decision.

* It's hard to figure out what the skills and experience are. If I have to read the entire thing work to even know if you might be a fit, there's a good chance of just going on the rejection pile.

* It's not clear what kind of role the person wants. Do you want to do front end? Mobile? Back end? Full stack? This can be tailored of course to a particular role if needed.

* It's extremely passive. Saying "worked on X" is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

* One page is not enough for a technical role. I know some people say keep it to one page, but to me, 2 (and sometimes 3) pages is OK if it's not horrid to read and I have reasonable confidence there might be a fit there (not if I have to read the whole thing though to figure out if there might be a fit).

* There is absolutely nothing in it to make me think "ooh, would be good to talk to this person."

Fundamentally, this CV says "I have built some different software for people. I have nothing interesting to say about it. I dont care if I waste your time reading it.".

In a strong market that might be enough. In a weak market it will be straight to the reject pile.

It's important to note that "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk" are only written forms of the language, and depending on where you grow up the dialect of Norwegian you speak will be closer to "Bokmål" or "Nynorsk".

If I remember correctly from Norwegian classes growing up, Bokmål is heavily influenced by written Danish. Nynorsk was based on dialects people spoke outside of the bigger cities. Nynorsk however is more of an amalgamation of dialects, and can not be said to be spoken by anyone. Your estimation is in the neighborhood of native writers of Nynorsk I believe.

I'm not quite getting your point.

The parent seems to be saying that when you take the difference between physical and digital goods into account, that Amazon is leaving him with a similar slice of the revenue.

You seem to be arguing that he has alternatives to Amazon.

However, you also seem to be making the point indirectly that the motivation for selling on Amazon, and why businesses sell in the App Stores, is that they want the additional sales that come from targeting those marketplaces.

Isn't then there little real distinction from selling products on Amazon (where you could sell elsewhere, but dramatically fewer would see and purchase your product) or the App Store (where you could make a web app and sell elsewhere, but dramatically fewer would see and purchase your product)?
Hah! Good point, I didn't think about that.

Although IMHO daycare has plenty of benefits, and I actually do know of people who send their kids to 1/2 day daycare just for the educational benefits and socialization, so that is still 1k a month or so.

I've also noticed that the stay at home parents tend to enroll their kids in more activities, the cost of which quickly adds up.

Being with a toddler 24/7 is a ton of mental work, especially in modern western societies where we don't have extended support networks of family and friends.
> There's a substantive difference in whether the artist is using the tool, or the tool works on its own. A paintbrush doesn't produce a painting by itself, a human needs to apply an incredibly specialized creative skillset, in conjunction with the paintbrush to do so.

That sounds like a kinder restatement of the opinion at the top of the thread: "Artists are mad because this tool empowers other people, who they view as less talented, to make art too."

Artists might not like the phrasing, but scratch the surface and there's a degree of truth there. It's an argument from self-interest, at core.
Look, it's even simpler than that. Incels hate women, that's their whole schtick. Why would any self-respecting woman want to be with someone who literally hates said woman's gender? Maybe you could "educate" incels on being less hateful, and their romantic prospects might improve.

Not all of them, there is a reason why Borland ruled in the MS-DOS days.

QuickPascal wasn't that great versus Turbo Pascal, and Microsof C was the last MS-DOS compiler to get C++ support.

Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 was released in 1992, whereas Turbo C++ 1.0 for MS-DOS was already available in 1990.

Ah, and the Borland compilers came with Turbo Vision, there was nothing like that on Microsoft side for MS-DOS.

And then there was Watcom and High C++ with their MS-DOS extenders, also not available on Microsoft compilers.

One of the best parts of running your own company one-person or small consulting company is to decide when and how you pay taxes. So, for example, you can work for a while, build up capital in the company and then not work for a while still paying yourself a salary.

Basically using the company as your savings account. If you don't mind paying yourself a lower salary you can take advantage of progressive tax as well.

It is about minimizing how much you work, it doesn't really help you to maximize how much you earn if you want to work full time with no pauses. It essentially levels out your tax burden across multiple years.
That has been the style of argument made to regulators so far.

Genuine question, what's up with the ardent hatred for Texas (and noncoastal cities in general)

I might lack the nuance to pick up differences, but American suburbs are remarkably consistent across the country. All the new 'inner' tech cities (Austin, Atlanta, Phoenix, Boulder), used to be University towns.... so they were deep blue even before us tech yuppies moved in.

I've found Americans to be rather welcoming everywhere I have gone. If anything, Seattle has been my 'least welcoming' experience so far.

Is the abortion issue that big of a factor in moving decisions ? Other than a few headlines, I doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to take an out of state visit if the need arises.

I can understand the urban density or nature as good reasons....but I find that those most opposed to the move rarely give either as reasons. (I might be projecting based on a few similar anecdotes I've been on the listening end of)
> I don’t think it’s relevant here, the JIT compiler can do the same optimizations here.

Correct. I was clarifying that the issue can be replicated in a "simpler" statically compiled benchmark.

> The primary purpose of the commercially and publicly available generative AI is to undercut human labour.

As is the primary purpose of almost all technology, so not per se a bad thing.

> What it serves up is frequently too similar to the existing work that it was trained on, and therein lies the problem on every level, not just from copyright infringement, but one of consent.

What's the difference to google images then? If the problem is only that people get to see something similar to my work, then google iamges is just as bad. Well perhaps the difference for you is consent, in which case see above. But for me the difference was that OpenAI is trying to sell you rights for thise things that look similar to your works. So for me, if OpenAI just stopped trying to sell you rights for its generations, it would be copyright-okay.

> You approached it from the angle of copyright, but the problem is one of consent.

Fair enough, that is true. And consent is also an interesting topic to discuss. For me personally, with consent issues one has to think wheter one is talking about being ethical, or nice, or talking about legal action being necessary. I personally think that the consent issues with genAI are more in the "soft" side, compared to the copyright issues. With the latter it is a very pressing issue to find out how it should be treated legally.
