MLOps is deploying, monitoring and (re)training ML models. Sits in the DevOps and data engineering space.

Prompt engineering is making generative AI do what you want by crafting the right context. I would put it somewhere in the software and data engineering space, given they will most likely integrate applications with it. MLOps comes into play if you have your own trained or tuned model.

Furthermore, there's no such thing as a solopreneurs. Everything you have now, everything you will ever build or do or touch is done with the combined labor of millions of humans. Thinking that somehow you are going it solo denies reality.
I assume that in an active war zone, it is kind of hard to track which equipment gets taken by the enemy. We're talking of 50-100 meters of movement per day.

Suppose Starlink would even more aggressively constrain access to "known ukrainian-dominated territory". A possible error would be that an Ukrainian soldier suddenly loses access since a few 50 meters apart Russians captured an Starlink terminal. The news would be even worse in the public opinion in that scenario.

In general it is always better to assume well-intent instead of resorting to reflexive "x is bad" arguments, which was my take of the GP.
Does tracy support automatic function entry/exit (FEE) traces (i.e. all functions are automatically instrumented with a start/end)? The documentation seems to indicate traces are all manual which is pretty inconvenient. There are very few cases where you even need manual instrumentation if you have FEE data from my experience.
They're wrong, they got confused because the header column on the data is labeled "age of householder". This is because the data is the ratio of householders who own their homes to total householders, broken down by the age of the householder.

The title of the tables I'm looking at are "Homeownership rates by Age of Householder", which makes it pretty clear what they mean.

The people who "deeply want children" are going to do it anyway. I think the majority of people to whom this discussion apples, have vague ideas that kids "would be nice", but simply don't prioritize it enough to overcome the said socioeconomic hurdles.
So inasmuch as they are just deciding not to accept the necessary tradeoffs (e.g. move somewhere cheaper and less appealing) it is a bit of a disingenuous excuse or self delusional. However I still think it is fair to point out that the higher cost floor on kids simply makes it lower ROI.

I think we should also recognize the the generation in question might have difficulty with relationships. Having kids means finding a partner bought into the idea too and taking the leap. It seems people aren't figuring that out until much later.
Kyiv claims Russian forces using Starlink in occupied areas

It is biological. Before birth control the desire to have sex was enough to make sure enough kids were had. Socioeconomic circumstances didn't really matter. Unless you were on the brink of starvation, you wanted to have sex. Now that that's no longer enough to produce kids, we need a new biological reason to make kids. That could be resistance to birth control or a stronger natural desire to have kids, not just sex.

>I’m sure if you do woodworking for a living a CNC is amazing, but I’ll take the slow path on this.

Similar here. I do wood carving as a hobby. I could buy some carving tools, like chisels of various shapes and sizes, and a mallet or two, but I prefer to just use a knife - a normal kitchen knife, a Cartini, somewhat more expensive than a no-name brand, but still cheap. Of course, that means that I cannot create even moderately complex pieces, but that's okay. I am still a beginner at it, and I am fine with creating only simple stuff. I just do it for fun.

After some time, I do plan to research some carving tools, and may buy a few if I get good advice on it, and if the tools seem to make sense for me.
Rock climbing is the new golf, and tech workers are the new big shots that have replaced stodgy investment bankers. I never mention that I'm a rock climber anymore. It brands you as a techfuck these days.

No evidence has been presented that woodworking is disproportionately popular among programmers. I bet if you go to some carpentry meetups you will not find a high number of programmers. Programmers are not special for having hobbies. If you talk to a non-programmer some day, you may find that they have hobbies as well, such as cooking, writing, music, and gardening. Most people have hobbies.
It's hard to learn a language for fun, so I'd pick something that fits your needs to build something (or even just your curiosity). Elixir and Prolog, although both cool, might not fit the bill because they really excel at one particular thing.

Golang is a popular answer, as you can start building stuff with it fairly quickly (especially compared to Rust). Java can also be useful if you haven't learned it and find a use case (although you will hear it bemoaned as the "New COBOL", there is still a lot of work done using it).
One could argue that women being part of the formal economy is also out of an exploitative playbook.
I'm seeing quite a few comments here that hint they'd like to see exactly that, a regression back to "the good old days".
> Here in Australia

Australia has made a bunch of home-ownership-unfriendly decisions which the US hasn't – e.g. in the US you get a mortgage interest deduction on your primary residence, in Australia you only get it on investment properties (joint filing for married couples, which the US has but Australia doesn't, also helps here); in the US owner-occupier mortgages are normally no-recourse, in Australia they are almost always full recourse; US government policy encourages long-term fixed interest mortgages, the Australian government has no comparable policy

Some of it is also geography – Australia is very centralised, with most people living on the coast. Each state has its population dominated by a single metro area which also serves as the state capital – quite unlike the US where majority of the time the state capital is outside the state's largest metro area.

Australia's comparative lack of rainfall inland is a factor, but political culture, and hence decisions by politicians, also plays a big part – suppose NSW moved its capital to (say) Dubbo or Bathurst? Many government jobs would leave Sydney, followed by many consulting/etc jobs which provide services to the government - right now, central and western NSW has plenty of affordable housing, but a big shortage of jobs providing incomes to pay for that housing. Never going to happen: it would require a degree of originality and thinking outside the box of which Australian politicians are constitutionally incapable.
Here it's different than this, the question is rather "Can it be recorded that port 22 is reserved for my tool so it becomes a worldwide convention?"
I agree with all of what you said until you started suggesting NyQuil instead. We don't have good data for long term effect of using antihistamine. Alcohol, in small quantity is not good but it's also not that bad especially in otherwise healthy and active people. Ideally, non medicated ways to reduce anxiety is a lot better.
AFAIK they were using Linux, and they were still keeping all the servers synchronised (smearing at the same rate).
Which countries did you have in mind? The countries with the highest population decline are not the countries with the lowest birth rate. People emigrate from the former, and choose not to reproduce in the latter.

Idiocy was expecting game developers would blindly jump into GNU/Linux, Vulkan, with a stone age development experience versus what game console devkits and Windows look like.

I wasn't surprised given how bad Google Android talks at game conferences tend to be, so they put up with Google's lack of game development bones.

Android is only different because game developers don't have a option if they want to cover both top mobile platforms.

Android GDK is still a joke versus what Apple puts out, let alone Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.

No, it doesn’t sound like that: “in several instances where there were no observations to use for the autofill operation, the professor had taken the values from an adjacent country in the spreadsheet.”

It was not Excel’s fault.
I found the data you were looking for about homeownership by age over time:

In 1994, ~37% of <35yos owned a home.

In 2004, ~42% of <35yos owned a home.

In 2014, ~36% of <35yos owned a home.

In Q4 2023, ~39% of <35yos owned a home.

I'm not talking about advertising. Just distribution. If the theaters won't take it, then streaming services.

> that's almost certainly less than the value of the tax write-off

Please explain.

If the value drops to 1 million dollars, can't you write off the rest?

If you can't, then that is exactly the problem here, there's a flaw in tax law causing destruction.

> You'll need licensing contracts, lawyer time, accounting time, and again, all the various contractual obligations that kick in on release.

They already did 99% of the contracts they need.

> 1) They can still make it impossible to recover enough of the expense costs to make releasing the film worthwhile.

I already addressed this in the comment you replied to. Sell to a streaming service in that case. But I doubt it would make that little. Also that's a big percentage to not even be part of the distribution cost.

> 2) You still need to expect to make your expenses back, regardless. Again in the above example, say instead your gross revenue contracts are only $2 million. Great, you've earned $13 million, on an expenses budget of $60 million. Not even close to beginning to pay for the expenses incurred.

No you don't "need to" do the impossible.

You already spent the $60 million, and deleting the film won't make the money reappear.

Do you want to be $60M in the hole, or do you want to be $47M in the hole?

-

So summary: If they think a theatrical release requires so many dollars it's still a waste, that's one thing (though I reserve skepticism). If they won't sell it off to the highest bidder, for which they have to do almost nothing, that's a very different thing.

Destroying everything probably costs just as much as selling it off.
Can anyone suggest a good non-sampling profiler for low latency apps? The only one I can think of is https://github.com/morganstanley/Xpedite but it's not even clear that it is being maintained anymore.
Here are my underlying assumptions:

- Some set of libraries are fully audited.

- Some libraries can't be fully specced and audited because their specs are in flux (e.g. games, GUIs, webapps)

- Those libraries/apps will limit their maintenance burden by using audited ones

- Package managers are useful.

As long as the set of audited libraries is large or tends to grow large, or the audited libraries build upon each other, or the non-audited libraries depend on many other libraries, the "deeply nested" (I don't think it's deeply nested as much as many dependencies) hierarchy will be replicated.
> I will discount your opinions to zero on anything else of consequence

I’d settle for a much higher tax rate for the voluntarily childless to very inadequately offset the lack of contributing to the next generation. Probably the best way to implement this is that the child tax credit should be much bigger.

Thank you for not having kids!

That said, while they do require some sacrifice, at least for myself -- it has been by far the most enjoyable part of my life so far.
>> This is so sad. If I ever had to get paid 5 figures after 30 years I worked literally switch careers.

It's Sweden / Stockholm, not Silicon Valley / San Francisco.

I've looked up real estate there just to point out how ridiculously inflated prices are here. A nice looking 67 square meters apartment, 15 minutes from city center, was selling for some €190,000. By comparison a 50 square meters rather communist-looking apartment here (Romania) sells for €160,000 - €180,000.

A 5-figure salary in the €80,000 - €90,000 range is fairly outlier both there and here. €7,500 gross translates to about €4,400 net both in Sweden and here. To buy an €190,000 apartment here, the mortgage is in the €1,200 per month. In Sweden as far as I know, a rent is in the €600 - €1500 (depending how far from Stockholm city center). So a 5 figure salary goes a long way: you can buy, rent and live, on a single salary. If your wife is also getting top 5 figures, you're settled.
I have three kids. I reckon the first cost more than $200,000 by age 5. No major medical problems (kids are also a reverse lottery ticket, in that regard—sometimes they just take all your money indefinitely because they’ve got a serious chronic illness). And we were far from extravagant in our spending. The bulk of it was in the three categories I listed.

[edit] I agree with you, actually, that there are a lot of dumb ways to spend extra money on kids. Dressers? Used. Clothes? Cheap, garage sales and thrift stores. Toys? Ditto. Half the “new parent” shit is useless. Changing table? ROFLMAO you have a floor, unless you’re infirm in some way that makes it hard to get down there, just throw a little blanket down and use that—they can’t roll off the floor!
Out of curiosity, is this what you think of your own parents as well?

> There's little evidence to support the theory that at some point in the future, little girls will all suddenly decide to buck the trend set by their mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and all the adult women they see around them in the world, ..

What nonsense.

The very evidence you seek is right here, right now, all about us - a world in which men and women have a reproduction rate lower than than their grandparents and great grandparents. They have clearly bucked the trend of those in times past. Q.E.D.

BTW, this focus you have on breeding "little girls" is distasteful to say the least.

> those girls would need to have 3 or 5 or 8 to make up for those who do not.

Only if the world is to return to the present 8+ billion after a fall below.

Should numbers slowly decline down to, say, 1950s world population levels and mean reproduction rates go to 2.1 then things will stabilise.

> If neither of these things happen, population cannot stabilize.

Faulty logic, as already explained.

> And why should any human ever give a shit about whether these non-human organisms thrive

My response was to a human who was waxing lyrical about 3.7 billion years of life, an infintesimal number and tonnage of which was actual humn life ... you should ask them why they care about other lifeforms.

You might perhaps ask yourself why you do not.
I get that but I think the other point is equally significant. After college it's fun to make money, travel, date around... generally continue exploring yourself and the world and having few responsibilities.

> This is percentage of householders who own the home that they are the householder of.

It is not. It's a ratio of homeowners in an age group to the number of renter households in that age group, which is kinda a useless statistic.

To explain why it's a bad metric take this real (but simplified) example. My roommate and I share a "household". Lets pretend that besides my roommate and I there is only one other person aged 30-34 in the US and they own a home.

The Homeownership Rates by Age of Householder chart would say 50%. 1 owner household / 2 total occupied households.

Now if you read that chart and take it to mean that there is only 1 homeowner and 1 renter, you would be misunderstanding what the statistics mean. There are more renters than homeowners in our example but the metric doesn't reflect that because it isn't meant to.
>Edit: the replies - y'all are out of touch. Visit an average family in the Midwest with a household income of < $100k/yr that doesn't own a home yet.

Ok, but the poster is baffled not about why people aren't having kids, but about why his coworkers aren't having kids. Now since HN is out of touch they poster is probably just as out of touch and you would assume that they worked with people as financially out of touch as they are - therefore:

Among people making enough money presumably to afford having kids why no kids?
Dual income has its own set of problems when it comes time for kids. Lose an income or pay for child care.

Well, this is kind of the camp I was in. I never wanted kids, so I said and thought. I knew my wife was kind of on the fence; so I knew it was a possibility. But I was actually kind of expecting her to either A) just one day tell me she had been thinking and wanted a kid or, B) what I actually hoped at the time, her clock would stop ticking while we were busy doing us and the decision would be made due to that. We had long agreed that if we ever did do it, we'd try but if fertility was ever an issue we wouldn't pursue IVF or adoption; we'd just consider it a sign from the universe and live our lives happily childfree. But then, we (ok she) was diagnosed and overcame a huge medical issue and it had us re-evaluate our thoughts on family/life/everything in the process.

Also noteworthy is that I don't project an opinion of selfishness on others; it's what I feel of myself. I can say also, now having a lot of friends that also waited for whatever reason, it's not uncommon in this cohort. It's also very common that people wait then run into fertility issues and the feeling hits harder for them. We've known a ton of people that struggle hard with that, more-so if having kids was already on your must-do list and you just delayed it too long.

So to answer your question more directly, I don't think the person you described is selfish. They may however realize they were if they ever decided to actually have kids and perhaps have some regret do to that.
PRC increasingly able to strike CONUS at scale
from mainland - PRC's version of prompt (conventional)
global strike which they've been telegraphing development
for years.

So let's say China sends some conventional missiles to CONUS.

How does this not trigger MAD?

The US has no way of knowing if the incoming missiles are conventional or nukes. Would the US wait for the missiles to land to figure out if they're nukes or not? Would the US not simply launch a retaliatory (presumably nuclear) counter-strike while China's initial missiles are en route?

I honestly don't understand what value striking the CONUS would have for China. Seems like it would just instantly trigger MAD.
LLM with temperature 0 will always return the same output for the same input.

Considering this, LLMs are Markov Chains, its just the output sequence as a whole can be considered as an element and whole context can be considered as "one previous element".

So, the whole block of the text on input is previous element, and whole block of the text on the output is the next element.

Isn't it?
Trick question, all tri bikes look weird.
I wholeheartedly agree on this. In Finland we also have laws that the price has to include unit pricing in addition to the regular price. For example: Per liter for liquids, per kg for foodstuffs, per item for diapers, toilet paper rolls ect.

I freaking love how trivial comparing prices comes when the unit price is shown on the price label. This also really gets through the bullshit of misleading packaging design. (Making products look like they have more product than they really contain)
This makes no sense. Why shouldn’t someone who’s going to live in a society for several more decades have a say in how it operates?

This particular story sounds like they were executing a search warrant. Search warrants are commonly executed long before an indictment, because executing a search warrant is one of the ways law enforcement collects evidence to indict people in the first case. For example, a search warrant on Donald Trump’s residence was executed in August of 2022 while Trump was not indicted until June of 2023.

In this case, 61 people have already been indicted under Georgia’s state RICO act along with various charges of domestic terrorism, arson, and money laundering (https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/06/us/cop-city-protesters-indict...). And just like any conspiracy or RICO case, it’s common to start by arresting some people at the bottom and see which of them is willing to inform on the people at the top who might be harder to catch. Its the same basic playbook the feds used to take down the Mafia.
