I've been the employee who describes what needs to be done to improve security, only to be ignored. And then some rando off the internet makes note of the security shortcoming in the product and suddenly the boss is going crazy. He says stuff like "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?!" And fixing the issue needs to be done yesterday. No, no time to fix it properly, let's slap together whatever we can and rush it out.

So glad I quit that job.
That's fair enough. Thanks for the explanation!

Sorry for doubting. It was an unusual enough post (as the other poster said, looked like a blog) that it gave me pause, but there is some good info in here. Once you decide on a solution, maybe you SHOULD turn it into an actual blog post :)

Since the AI revolution of LLM's kicked in, I am curious, have done this to their coworkers?
While I can't say this is true for vim, in Emacs, I found that the customizability helps for a lot of different programing tasks. I run my terminals in Emacs and they are associated with my projects. Magit (the Emacs git package) helps me do complex rebases with diffs alongside creating branches and everything else you might do in git (even the reflog when things get rough). There is event a handy rest-mode that lets me write and save HTTP sessions. I connect to my database in buffer as well. What makes all this so handy is that I can move the buffers around to compare things side-by-side, use a single large buffer, etc. While VS Code has splits and terminals, I found that in Emacs I can access everything from my keyboard and now that I've gotten used it, I don't even think about it.

I've heard that a lot of vim folks get similar behavior via tmux and leverage other shell tools.

I'm not going to argue you should switch, because it is an investment. It is like owning a house, you have autonomy but you're also on the hook to fix the air conditioner. You also can't just drop it and move to the next editor. Your hands and workflows become tied to your editor. Keybindings may be similar, but it is not the full story. Either way, it is a journey getting good with your tools, so enjoy it!
Something like gvim is relatively easy to get into if you can give it a few days and look some things up.

Neovim is bizarrely confusing and difficult to configure. The UIs are all weird terminal windows with no buttons, it isn't clear which of the dozens of folders are actually being used for configuration files, it isn't clear how the actual attributes are being declared, it's a disaster.
That era of Macs with the pull-down hinged side was peak 'Pro' Mac. Back when they were actually more pleasant to service than any other computer on the market (and everything was modular).

Wish Apple would've carried that on again with the modern Mac Pro, but there are fewer replaceable parts now.

Would you consider wage theft of an employee by an employer a non-crime? After all, it's just their time and no physical goods are stolen.
An effect similar to this is what ultimately drove me away from pursuing an advanced degree in economics.

I kept seeing what were supposedly great innovations in our understanding of economic theory, which were mathematically elegant and completely unrealistic with respect to how people actually behave. What's the value in a closed-form expression that doesn't describe any real-world phenomenon?

I came to realize later that there is plenty of "good" economics research and modeling out there, but I had no desire to enter a field where models were not expected to be useful, in the sense of Box's aphorism.

Taxes. Taxes are the other tool that can be used to control inflation, especially when most of the money supply is in the hands of relatively few and has questionable productivity.

It's a shame however that taxation isn't used for monetary policy due to the political system just not being set up that way.

The scientific consensus is that they are clearly a separate species, but there are varying ways to define these boundaries. For a primer, you can read up more here: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/are-neanderthals-same-species...

Regarding your particular point about identifying "neanderthal DNA", consider that most genes are made up of thousands of base pairs. Even though there might be individual variation, it is trivial to distinguish between, say, chimpanzee and human versions of certain genes based on what we know about the populations. We also know the rate of evolution of genes and how they diverge, which means we can be pretty sure that a given version was acquired through interbreeding versus spontaneous mutation.
You're 100% right, but I think your experience is different than recent job seekers. I think this is mostly semantics. You're asking simple problems and are amazed at the number of people that can't do them.

In the current job market, however, lots of places are asking ridiculously hard verbatim leetcode questions in an attempt to filter out "bad candidates." Job seekers feel that too many places ask unfair questions (which is true) and employers feel that there are too many candidates that can't write genuinely simple programs (also true).

“I felt safe while he was presiden"

Honestly, wild to me, wild. It's mind blowing to me that Trump made anyone feel safe. From throwing paper towels at people to completely bumbling a 100-year pandemic, I never felt that he was competent nor that he had even the slightest care for a single person other than himself.

> A counter example is a physical button on manufacturing equipment. It’s huge, tactile, and labeled. I know I could press it, but that doesn’t necessarily help me understand what happens when I click it.

On the other hand, you can be very sure you won't press it unintentionally if you stay away from it, and the difficulty in pressing it provides a hint of how big of a deal it is to press it. Membrane buttons, on the other hand, can very well implement flat or hidden buttons that one might press by accident.
I genuinely think that Windows 2000 was the perfect aesthetic.

It had just the right amount of skeuomorphism, without going overboard; probably because of hardware limitations.

What I think happened is that as computers and phones got more and more powerful, developers and designers wanted to use the UI to show off a bit. Culuminating in mad animations like a shredder destroying your old boarding pass in Apple Wallet.

Then there was a complete rejection of skeuomorphic design with iOS7, and it's just got more and more extreme since then.

I have previously mentioned on HN that I wonder what early Sapiens thought about the Neanderthals. Did they see them as that other tribe that is very strong, but acting a bit strange sometimes? As we have been the only remaining member of the Homo species for thousands of years now, living side by side with creatures that are only quite like us is an experience that has been lost in the collective human memory. I think it is pretty likely that Sapiens back then just thought of a Neanderthal tribe in a similar way they thought about another Sapiens tribe. I read somewhere that the body proportions of Neanderthals are within the range of body proportions of modern humans, and research suggests that there was interbreeding between Sapiens and Neanderthals.

(As a male homo sapiens, I have to say that if Neanderthal women looked like this [0], they may have looked a bit strange, but certainly not repelling or un-human.)

> no one should be charged more based on their neighborhood

Isn't it a fact that it will be more or less costly to roll out service in different neighborhoods? Everything will differ, including the local labor pool, the distance from the central station, etc. It makes about as much sense as decreeing that all grocery store items in LA should be priced exactly the same, or that all gas stations in LA must have the same priced gasoline.

The article refers to a recent FCC ruling on "disparate impact" (without intent). To me, that's the greatest flaw of all civil rights laws, one that causes government encroachment upon every facet of American life. Literally everything causes disparate impact.

^ to me it’s really a stretch that someone could read that and think “markov chains are practically an llm!”

They’re pretty limited, and everyone working on building LLMs knows about them and has probably used them at some point.

They both generate tokens/words on probabilities, but it’s hard to understate how much simpler of a probability model a Markov chain is compared to an llm.

You’ve stated that markov chains have a limited use as a simple chat bot. How do you improve an mc so that it can perform other tasks, like classification, summarization, question answering, complex text parsing, text matching, etc, etc?

The language modeling done in llms has an open pathway to scaling and improving on this statistical model, and it’s incredible to me that this is still opaque to people. I don’t believe that llms are a path to intelligence, but I can certainly recognize that they’re going to emerge as a sophisticated and very useful productivity tool.

Here's a quote from one of the greats that comes to my mind whenever
an author says "I regret creating that" (and that includes you Sir Tim
Berners-Lee)

"You know, Nietzsche didn’t, you know, from his drawing room give
birth to a century of cannonade, slaughter, concentration camps,
CIA subterfuge, the raping and the murdering of nuns, the bombing
of continents, the despoiling of beaches and the ruin of a planet!
Four or five pedants do not have that much power, and never have."
- R. Roderick

Clockwork Orange (and the lesser Kubrick film) was what it was. It's
still powerful and relevant today.

In fact I watched it recently to steal a sample for a track I'm
working on... "When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man"

Still potent stuff.
Show HN: ML Blocks – Deploy multimodal AI workflows without code
Hey everyone,

ML Blocks is a node-based workflow builder to create multi-modal AI workflows without writing any code.

You connect blocks that call various visual models like GPT4v, Segment Anything, Dino etc. along with basic image processing blocks like resize, invert color, blur, crop, and several others.

The idea is to make it easier to deploy multi-step image processing workflows, without needing to spin up endless custom OpenCV cloud functions to glue together AI models. Usually, even if you're using cloud inference servers like Replicate, you still need to write your own image processing code to pre and post-process images in your pipeline. When you're trying to move fast, that's just unnecessary overhead.

With ML Blocks, you can build a workflow and deploy the whole thing as a single API. AFAIK, ML Blocks is the only end-to-end workflow builder built specifically for image processing.

If you're curious, our models run on Replicate, HuggingFace & Modal Labs cloud GPUs and we use React Flow for the node UX.

If the return on investment for purchasing a s/w engineer's salary, properly scaled by the probability/risk that the investment will yield no result, beats the absolutely certain return on investment of purchasing treasury bonds and every other class of probable-yield-adjusted investment, then investors will invest in s/w engineer salaries rather than t-bills or other investments.
Books and films have different pacing. They each tell slightly different things in different ways. It isn't really possible for a movie to be faithful to the book because one uses images and the other uses words, with every reader making different images inside themselves. It took Dune to get that through to me. I loved the book, but realized it would take a 100 hour long movie to cover what the book covered. Some people hate that movie because it left out so much, or it had to compress things.

I find that I'm less disappointed if I watch the film before I read the book. Frequently because if I read it first, then I always dislike the director's choice of actors. Or their choice of locations. I'm such an annoying critic.
