The Ukraine War.

Most of the founding leadership's net worth was tied to Yandex's NYSE stock (YNDX) which was delisted due to the sanctions regime.

Back in the day, Russian companies (just like Chinese companies pre-COVID) would cross list stock in both the Russian Market and the NYSE for an IPO.

Basically, this is them cashing out and concentrating on their European operations, but the actual stuff Yandex is known for (search, mail, AI/ML) is still based in Russia and operated by Russian managers.
Tim Apple once said that he spent 80% of his time on iPad:

Are you thinking of carbon markets (cap & trade)?

Either way, I was always skeptical of cap & trade.

IIRC, the economists and environmentalists preferred a straight up carbon tax. Ideal Pigouvian tax. Trivial to administer. And so forth.

As I understand it, while conceptually ideal, its political economy was turrible. It had no constituency which benefitted, so would therefore defend it during the inevitable reaction. Messaging was also tough (eg "if you're explaining, you're losing").

It also lacked strategy and vision. Minimal regulation and "just do it" mandate appeals to neoliberals and libertarians. But doesn't reduce uncertainty for businesses. Further, getting private capital (on its own) to invest in R&D "for the good of all" is unlikely.

I think of carbon taxes like "pushing rope".

In contrast, IRA is all carrot. Creating plenty of stakeholders to defend its largess. And it establishes clear priorities (domestic mfg, electrification, huge bet on H2). And it uses public investment to attract private capital.

As we can all see, IRA (et al) is widely successful, thus far.

I personally would have preferred the earlier BBB bill, which had "sticks" to compliment IRA's "carrots". Stuff like performance mandates, which have proved very effective in CA State.

Biden Admin is doing what it can thru executive action to move the needle.

A Delta Connections commuter flight killed 49 in Lexington, KY in 2013.
Some edits a bit too late for HN to allow them:

1. I updated the gists a bit for clarity, hopefully without accidentally moving any goalposts.

2. In addition to the tradeoffs mentioned in the sentence "If those aren't priorities for you...", I didn't really respond directly to your points about loop-blocking causing event loop hangs.

The possibility of loop-blocking causing the entire concurrency system (rather than just, say, one request's routines) to malfunction is a real drawback of async/await systems. Whether or not it's a deal breaker for your using such a system boils down to trust, I think. If your program is running a lot of background routines whose behavior you don't trust to have a low likelihood of loop-blocking, then async/await might be problematic for you. This is analogous to deciding whether to include a piece of functionality as a library linked into your main program, or to include it as a subprocess/IPC interface instead. If you don't trust that functionality not to e.g. corrupt memory, you may choose the latter.

I think Tokio specifically is better at mitigating those drawbacks of async/await concurrency models than many other systems, due to its abilities to a) provide fine-grained and accurate detection of loop-blockers, and b) to move task execution between threads to get around potentially stuck routines. Those are just mitigations, not solutions, but they're substantially better than what's offered by e.g. JavaScript.

> when they're on towering pickups and SUVs. I suspect there's no good way to angle the beams on those to allow their drivers to see the road

This is one of the main reason why I hate trucks. Their "I will walk on your face" makes their high mounted lights right at the level of my normal-sized car's rear view mirrors. When approached from the rear, this is blinding enough that I can't tell the difference between a truck and someone with full beams on. Same goes when crossing them. If it's raining or foggy, those new white lights are outright dangerous.

I'm wondering if they could simply mount them lower so that it's at a normal size car.

346 people died in two similar crashes of two Boeing 747 Max planes. Boing and the FAA initially cast the blame on supposedly lower standards at the Indonesian and Ethiopian airlines operating the planes, but this was completely unsupported and incorrect speculation. Poor processes at Boeing and the FAA were in fact responsible. Unfortunately the incorrect narrative has persisted.
> It was an issue with the CFM engine, Not with anything Boeing did.

The engine cowling was made by Boeing and was supposed to stay on when the engine lost fan blades, the cowling was what struck the side of the aircraft and broke the window in question. Boeing is redesigning the 737 cowlings to better respond to blade out failures.

Smartphones have certainly made my life significantly worse. I'm so glued to my smartphone that it has even replaced other kinds of time-wasting considered to be frivolous. I don't play video games, I don't watch TV. I'm just scrolling all the time. It's hard to explain to my therapist that, no, I would like to spend more time playing video games. From there I think it will be much easier to build in more time for reading books or being a good partner and parent. The smart phone feels like the biggest obstacle.

Of course I know that it takes two to tango, and if I didn't have treatment-resistant ADHD the phone wouldn't have it's hooks in me the way it does. Back to the treatment drawing board, I guess.
Note that, as jmull says in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39262286 , embedding timestamps in every uuid can potentially expose private information.
SELECT * FROM forum_post WHERE created_at > $DATE AND created_at < $DATE

If you were using UUIDv7, you could even use that to get the created_at [0], although you'd likely lose the indexing unless you made a functional index on it, like this:

CREATE INDEX foo_ctime_idx ON foo(extract_timestamp_from_uuid_v7(uuid_v7_col))

Learning series and parallel circuits, and just getting a few LEDs to turn on and off is far more of a shift in thinking than you might suspect if you've never been exposed to electronics. I've been doing this stuff since I was about 10, so it came as quite a surprise to see how difficult the fundamentals were for someone who was quite adept at coding. I'd forgotten how hard it was.

Also, have you done NAND2Tetris?
Somewhat cross-platform (I mostly use Windows)... I use Tailscale (or just wireguard) and RDP. RDP works great on Windows and is gaining more support in Linux. VNC works as a fallback, but is slow compared to RDP.

Not free, but I was using Remotix until they got bought out by Acronis who haven't really done much but increase the price and rebrand it (really long name "Acronis Cyber Protect Connect"). It does work on Linux and MacOS but I always found the performance to be lacking and the UI is workable but not great.

It’s much easier to share a link to a Discord server than it is to convince your friends/family to install an app. Packaging and distribution alone would take up most of your development time - a semester is only 15 weeks. (This is why I used to do web-based projects.)

Discord also supports some simple UI elements - images, buttons, form fields, and dropdowns - so it’s a nice step above a CLI for teaching UX, which is part of the course.

Deyan7 | Full Stack AI Engineer | Bochum, Cologne, Mainz, Germany | Remote possible | Full Time

We are Deyan7. We build leading AI solutions.

Join our tech-savvy team and create solutions for generative AI and ChatGPT. Since the launch of GPT4 in March, we have implemented projects in areas such as fire protection, tax law, education, and medical devices using the latest language models. We develop AI co-pilots for engineers, AI coaches for schoolchildren, and suggestion systems for technical writers. We draw on decades of experience in software development for German global leaders. We see the potential of the technology, are curious about the next developments, and proud of what we are building.

As a Full Stack AI Engineer, you ideally should have fun to:

- experiment with genAI, LLMs and different retrieval technologies
- build suiting Frontends
- build Backends that bridge the gap between Frontend and the ML parts.

You will be working closely with other devs and our customers, with the possibility to actively influence the direction of the project and to introduce new technology or approaches.

Your project increment will always be working software that is really used and needed.

Here´s the catch: our customers are mostly German, hence the data is primarily German and therefore the output of our LLM inferences is German. So, be ready to use German at a C1 level at least!

Additionally, our working setup is currently not capable of handling any other time offsets than +- 3 hours from our local time (CET/CEST).

Even in non-clustered indexes (relevant to pretty much all SQL implementations not just MS SQL Server) random keys can cause the index to balloon over time due to many page splits, requiring extra space or extra maintenance rounds (rearranging the indexes to optimise them occasionally, if the relevant data grows rapidly or changes often).

The effect is just worsened by clustering, as done in SQL Server for significant (or at least measurable) benefits for many data patterns, because your base data is bigger due to wasted space due to excess page splits, as well as your supplementary indexes, so that needs reorganising more often too.

A common answer is to use an int (or maybe bigint) for your internal keys and a UUID for anything external, so you have the benefits of a UUID for external use (practically zero chance of collision in distributed systems, if appropriately random, and not potentially leaking information in some security contexts) but the efficiently of the integer otherwise. Or to use a partially ordered UUID format, which balances the compromises slightly differently (benefit: single value, dropping some of the UUID issues, keeping some of the benefits; detriment: letting some of the disadvantages of UUIDs, potentially reducing some of the benefits).

It does, provided the headset isn't completely powered down. It is designed sort of with that in mind -- there's no off button, you just take it off and that's it, sort of like the Max headphones. But, if it is completely shut off, to my knowledge atm there is no persistence beyond that and the device will reset all window positions.
I agree, and will add that even though it might seem "boring" to some people, there are plenty of unique fun requirements per project even when using the same stack. 5 different clients have gotten me to start new projects in the past 3 years, and I chose Rails for all of them. Different business domains, different budgets for MVPs (4 figures to 6 figures), sometimes multiple developers and sometimes not, but in all cases we were able to ship product quickly without burning too much of the client's money. Contrast that with some bloated, slow dev on traditional SPA apps I saw during my last stint in enterprise, Rails enables us to move at lightning speed. Seriously, I saw people burn way more money for far less output! Maybe SPA wasn't the only problem and enterprise was, but the point is for that a lean MVP for a wide variety of domains, it's hard to beat Rails if you already know it.

No matter how profitable building good planes is, building slightly worse planes that are bought in equal numbers is more profitable. The profit maximizing move is to lower quality until sales suffer more than profitability is increased. And if you have a strong reputation, and feedback cycles on product quality are long, lower quality might take a long time to actually be noticeable in sales.

1) OpenAI has consistently gone back on commitments it has made

2) Sam Altman has a shady track record publicly, and if you believe the things people say privately he has consistently done business very dishonestly throughout his career. He is the CEO, and virtually the entire executive team are people he brought in from his network. It’s his company.

3) To give one example of many, OpenAI recently changed the terms of ChatGPT so that web users conversations can now be trained on (and if you want to save any chats you must opt in). Presumably this also applies to all conversations you had under the old policy despite saying they would never train on those conversations.

I could go on at length…
More seriously it actually has really interesting implications for Mars and any other sort of low-g colonization. People who are born and live in only such an environment may simply be physically incapable of coming back to Earth in anything like a normal fashion.

Imagine trying to go to a place right now where suddenly you weighed 3x as much. In all probability, you would die without some sort of special assistance - probably of some sort of cardiovascular failure. If you're a 180lb male, it's the equivalent of strapping a 360lb weight suit on yourself, with the relevant difference that lying down wouldn't offer even the slightest of respite from the forces being imposed on your body. It also has interesting implications for sports, which are just going to be awesome in low g. An Earther would have a massive and tremendously unfair advantage against a Martian.

There's going to be some dramatic (and rapid) social, physical, and even evolutionary drift.
> How could you "fix" it?

The larger a company is the more it falls back to "let the market decide." In this case the market is starting to decide (again) to bypass the poor user experience the big players offer and just steal the content. This is the point where it's time for the market to adapt (again) if they want to keep revenue.

That’s a movie though, not work. And taking it off for a lunch or snack break, does the user feel sore putting it back on? Is the 3rd or 4th session of the day so uncomfortable as to be limiting for an 8 hour work day?
Problem is once its easier to just bypass all that and find ways to bug higher level employees whose time costs the company siginificantly more. If more people realized that then the regular support would quickly be told to actually solve customers' problems.
If you're on a 737-max-anything, then worry a _tiny_ bit, otherwise, no. All their other planes have excellent safety records.

For comparison, Russia had a 2.29 fatal accidents/million departures safety rating in 2021, which is terrible, worst of all operating regions.
737-maxes had a 3.08 in 2019 when they got grounded. Every other plane in North America is averaging about 0.20 right now.

Granted, the 737-max's stat is based on a fairly low number of crashes. Regardless, the odds of a fatal crash are still vanishingly low on any given trip.
Your average SQL query is worthless, there no special sauce in SQL queries, their value comes from the dataset they run on.

These small SQL LLMs are indeed worthless, since LLM performance on SQL queries is quite limited right now, every % of accuracy matters.

Was self employed and worked as contractor programmer for the longest time until a couple of years ago. Thought I would work less. Boy was I wrong. Chasing clients, doing taxes, invoicing people and praying they'll pay on time. Got sick of the not very dependable cash flow which was feast and famine cycles. Went to get a corporate job and even though the work is not as exciting and the codebase is legacy, at least I don't sweat the next paycheck.
