Having helped homeless people and seeing many people help homeless people in Germany, I don't think I have ever heard a more stereo typing comment on Hackernews.

And if you're German (or somewhere else), I hope you have given to causes for the homeless, or organized something on your own, because talk is cheap.
Yeah, it is. Although last time I bragged about it, I've been told SF and Seattle (?) also have that. But I shall keep boasting about it non-stop.

25 years is generally when the brain has fully matured physically, which as you say does not necessarily correlate with behavior.
Off the cuff, I think any system that has a perceptual connection to an "environment" separate from itself and can induce changes in that environment can be generally considered "embodied". This ability to cognitively distinguish self from environment and to understand one's effect on that environment are the crucial elements. I think an explicitly spatial notion of embodiment typical of humans, is insufficiently general.

You're reading the demand/supply situation backwards. Even with all the construction in Brooklyn, supply is failing to meet demand, therefore prices are going up. We've failed to meet supply in urban spaces for several generations now and have a massive deficit to pay off before adding any supply can actually drive prices down; we're barely adding enough units to affect the rate of increase of prices.

The last time I pointed this out, some npm dinosaur said npm allows publishing of any type of package so it cannot enforce a structure. Wow, really, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Whose fault is that? So the result is that nobody knows how to publish anything so npm is in shambles.
This is how I have always developed hard-to-make-bug-free software. Write a simulator first that will deterministically give your software the worst possible environment to run in with failures happening all the time. I have delivered complicated software into production using this method with zero bugs ever reported. It works brilliantly.

Completely fair, but the fact that this “problem” was so ubiquitous for so long should be factored into the decision of whether or not to issue a recall. Recalls aren’t without negative consequences - huge effort and actual cost, opportunity cost of other things regulators could focus on, and the impact to what it means to the term “recall”.
Also very neat is the Unigram algorithm. IIRC that paper also introduces subword regularization which I think is really cool.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
The most vocal anti-copilot person on my team is by far the best coder among us. His reasoning is that typing and coding is not his bottleneck, its process and politics within the organization.

I tend to agree. I just got access to copilot within the org last week, and I haven’t had a chance to use it yet due to a bunch of process and politics I’ve been dealing with. When I get back to coding, I’m not sure how helpful it will actually be. Time will tell, but I’ve never felt like I needed any more help than a search engine gives me. Usually what happens is Stack Overflow gets me in the ballpark and I need to use that info to go back to the actual documentation to get what I really need. I see copilot working in much the same way. The problems I’m trying to solve are always how to integrate with internal systems and existing other code, which I don’t see copilot helping with. It will lack the context.

A lot of people on my team are supposed to train up on what I do so we can get more people involved and I have a feeling they are overestimating how much copilot will help, and I anticipate we’ll need to do extremely detailed code reviews when copilot starts getting involved. Better code reviews aren’t a bad thing, but it will be one more thing on my plate, as not many will be qualified.
You're not wrong about the "old" meaning of "master" but in most projects, the master branch is expected to function and be reasonably up to date. So it is a reasonable jumping off point for both deployment and development. Consequently, Linus didn't make a mistake with that, and it is not a bad metaphor. There are many projects that don't work this way because they chose to violate conventions. That does not mean "master" is a bad choice of name, it means people are not conforming to the original pattern. Any other "main" type name would suffer from the exact same workflow dependence.

You think of it as privacy and anonymity, but unfortunately this makes the business start to smell fishy, especially to tax authorities.

Tax folk are naturally keen on diligent record keeping. It helps them understand you aren't cheating on your taxes. Part of that is you doing things like charging vat.

Typically this means some "reasonable" measure of knowing where your customer is. It's not really enough for them to just "declare themselves outside the EU". If anonymity is important for the customer, then they pay VAT.

And yeah, forget donations. Hope is not a business strategy. That's a quick approach to zero revenue.

>since technology specifically, usually has a goal or outcome in mind

sure, all ambitions have a goal. I think the point is that not all goals have some economic goal in mind. The original blogging platform and internet as a structure did not have the goal of monetizing writing. And we're honestly seeing the consequences of attempts and failures to try and monetize such stuff on the net.

Maybe there was prestige, or research grants, or whatnot, but it's clear that there's many pieces of tech who's goals wasn't to sell off to a billionaire and retire in style. I'd call such research "tech for tech's sake".

Yes, because you've already made the native app while a PWA is a very different platform. It's usually hard to justify a shift to such a different platform unless it saved you a lot of time by, for example, covering all major and popular platforms like iOS.

> SaaS apps are mostly B2B

B2B naturally having an out doesn't mean Apple's stranglehold over the B2C market through web platform limitations is okay. Apple never had a viable way to take a cut of B2B, no one is arguing that they are trying to protect B2B revenue, the point is that they are trying to protect B2C revenue and they shouldn't be able to

> People have different expectations for games. There aren’t any good cross platform frameworks that give you a completely native like experience on your platform / both Google and Facebook explicitly moved away from cross platform frameworks because they weren’t good enough.

"Automated Unit Test Improvement using Large Language Models at Meta" (2024)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.09171 :

> This paper describes Meta's TestGen-LLM tool, which uses LLMs to automatically improve existing human-written tests. TestGen-LLM verifies that its generated test classes successfully clear a set of filters that assure measurable improvement over the original test suite, thereby eliminating problems due to LLM hallucination. [...] We believe this is the first report on industrial scale deployment of LLM-generated code backed by such assurances of code improvement.

Coverage-guided unit test improvement might [with LLMs] be efficient too.

• that’s a solved problem: packages shouldn’t bundle CLI tools. Sindre Sorhus has been separating “CLI” from “API” for many years. “Unused dependencies” in general isn’t a solvable problem because a dependency might only be used if a certain parameter is passed. By the time that piece of code is reached, you either have it installed or it’s too late.

• that’s an issue that never got solved for the same reason: “package.json is never going away so we won’t add more ways to do the same thing” — ok so node/npm is going to suck forever, fantastic.

> All those "decadent" western democracies went through periods of very violent internal wars, centuries of constant internal "cold wars" where the main objective was "democracy"

> Russia never had that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Revolution

Look I know it's been 100 years and we understand now that the Soviet Union ended up being a force for authoritarian evil. And that all the communist republics having "Democratic" in their name sounds as ridiculous as North Korea doing it today.

But it didn't have to be that way. The ideals of communism and marxism are pretty inspiring and humanist - on paper. They'd never been tried. That they were corrupted by Lenin then Stalin - if they were even incorruptible in the first place - noone knew that at the time. The only objection the west had to any of it for the entirety of the 20th century was that it intervened with the flow of capital and economics. The proof of that is China which, is obviously the main global competitor to the west, and the risk of an actual war over something like Taiwan is non-zero, it is a far cry from the constant imminent threat of thermonuclear annihilation.

And just because the Soviet Union became the symbol of everything that stands against freedom for 50 years in the 20th century, doesn't mean that in the moment the Russian Empire was any better. Ordinary Russians at the start of the 20th century were some of the most repressed and unfree people in the entire world.

They fucked it up but they did try.

Then "real" democracy came in, and turned out to be in many ways worse for the median Russian. The median Russian quality of life was worse in the 90's than in the 80's. While the oligarchs got richer and crime took over the country. The people turned to a powerful leader like Putin and legitimately reinforced his power because he made the country safe.

In the end your conclusion is correct. "Russia" needs to die, needs to end as a concept. It needs reinvention from the ground up. And I don't know if the median Russian is capable of creating something better.

> Your words have weight. If you, an IC, say "guys, we really should write tests", everybody goes "oh, crazy old Vladimir, all grumpy again, haha, where do you see tests fit here?". If you, an EM, casually say "guys, we really should write tests", you might be surprised to find the tests unexpectedly growing in different places.

I can't generalize, but in my company engineers trust Staff engineers way more than managers. Everyone has informal authority, and from my experience engineers tend to respect other engineers more. As a manager you can ask people to do things, but there is no guarantee they'll do it. And if you need to resort to your formal authority to resolve something, things probably went wrong somewhere.

> Frankly, after 4–5 years of working in a particular tech area, you can solve the vast majority of practical problems well enough.

If this is the case, then you are certainly not pushing yourself hard enough. Maybe it's company specific, but right now in my team there is a neverending list of ever increasingly bigger and more complex problems. The idea that you can master everything in 5 years sounds extremely naive to me.

> Life of an engineer is relatively relaxed. If you don't have anything urgent, you can go lay on the grass for half a day

Please OP tell me where you work. I'd like to lay in the grass half a day, rather than being constantly pulled into 10 different directions and having to push back on new requests.
Let the people with the most money decide?
Well, what could they say? Given the lack of transparency on the data it well could be:

“We’ve trained LLaMA MoE on a lot of GPT4 data. And this it is not as good as GPT4. And this is our blob, so we can release it under any license. If someone is silly enough to use what this blob generates, this is not our problem.”
That's exactly right. Only works for small pieces. My drawer is a pull-out tray type drawer that I am adding to a big cabinet.
Why is it Caltrain’s fault that you chose to live far from a station, your employer chose to lease offices far from a station, and you chose to work for said employer?
Yeah, go for it. I liked the environment she was setting up, but it just kept shocking me how easily and naturally the main character flipped. It's as if the 10+ years of study he went through didn't matter. I understand it could be a natural curiosity from him at that age, and he may recover later.

But the pairing of the intentionally racist stereotype of a loutish brit (not a type I'd defend, but it really is a silly stereotype, especially here where it was totally out of nowhere) followed by a scene which, against her own case, validates that idiot's attacks, just made me lose it.

Like, if you're trying to be anti-racist, don't have your main characters immediately confirm the worst racial stereotypes that the "intended-to-be-hated" racist majority just accused them of (i.e. of disloyalty and ungratefulness to their host country, radical attempts to overthrow the governments which accepted them). It's way beyond multiculturalism - instead, it's basically saying that multiculturalism can't work because even the best newly arrived groups will naturally flip into opposition as radical terrorists. How can we build a multi-cultural society when people we're meant to sympathize with, act like that?

Anyway, good luck with the read. I may have overreacted, or it may redeem itself later. I didn't do extensive further research on her work beyond listening to a few interviews to check if I was just totally misreading.
What makes you so confident in your opinion?
> You're reading the demand/supply situation backwards.

No. I'm reading it exactly right. Density _causes_ higher prices. It makes it easier to create jobs near dense locations, which in turn makes it more attractive for people to move in. This in turn increases housing costs.
Prop 13 was 1978. Jerry Brown had been governor for 4 years.
And then you have probably lots of people who didn't move to better jobs because it meant they'd buy a new home and all the people who couldn't move to a new, better job because people already there aren't selling even when they are retired because they want to keep that sweet property tax rate locked in. Prop 13 is poison for the economy.
