I know many people working in tech who work 3 or 4 days a week.

My last programming job nearly 10 years ago I was working 4 days a week, and at my job before that there were 3 programmers who were 4 days a week.

Simply list it as a requirement when searching for jobs and go from there. It's all negotiable, if you work at it.
Thanks. Now I got to know about that Hare video and the channel itself. :)

Will check out both.

Sorry to heard that. I also have adhd and I’ve looking for solutions since I was 11 years old, now I am 29 years old and pretty much tested all the vitamins, exams, medication, therapy and bunch of other things. Today I found how to manage my adhd, the basic stuff, eat well, exercise and sleep well. It seems so simple but we need to find a synergy between all the basic, vitamins we sometimes have to take, CBT and so on. The doctor Le Grand on YouTube helped to discover a lot of alternative treatments and it worked, so well that I think I am using the super power of adhd and not longer controlled by a incessant mental energy.
It's not just the picture bot, though. If you ask it for strategies to avoid homeless encampments, for instance, it will give you a lecture about inclusivity, and suggest that you shouldn't try to avoid this at all.

I asked it which neighborhoods I should avoid in Kansas City, and it refuses to answer this question because of discrimination.

I asked which schools have the best test scores record (so I can send my children there), and I get a lecture about how test scores aren't a good metric and following them could lead to discrimination.

This is just...pathetic. These are all things that normal, rational human beings would want to know. Where are the safest neighborhoods with the best schools?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this type of question, and absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to discriminate against poor schools and dangerous neighborhoods.

Quite frankly I don't understand what the point of gemini is when it refuses to give answers on basic things. Google search results are full of blogspam and listicle spam, and now gemini, which could be a way of avoiding this, is absolutely kneecapped by whatever ridiculous notions they've given it about the way people are supposed to think and act.
I'm a huge fan of Mikrotik, these are around $600

Ooh, very cool. Looks like you're overriding the font at the browser or OS level? We suspect that has something to do with it. If you look at the raw HTML response, which is what should be getting rendered when you have scripts turned off, you can see that the casing is normal. The mystery to me is why turning scripts back on would fix it. Maybe that overrides your font override and changes it back to our font.
It's not like folks here regularly shop in USD. Sure, summer vacations in Hawaii have become more expensive, but...

Import-dependent companies - different story. Export-oriented companies: Yeehaw.
I see them pretty frequently here. They usually get countered by anti-China-propaganda comments, but not always. I think they're slowly becoming more numerous.
This is insane. I have an app (Rise for iOS) that uses the OpenAI API to _import_ recipes from a website and it works great. Does this use AI?
Same. I was willing to click to give a friend some feedback but unless I can't find my way to the hospital because my arms been looped off I'm not turning off AdBlock. I can live without "finding events happening around you"

And look it's not this one product that makes me feel this way it's the fact that this is the 100th time I've been asked something like this in a week.

I'm not interested in being a product for someone else anymore.
At least there is still a very close edit extant.
I’m sure there are cases where the fork overhead matters. But, alas, I don’t type or read that fast.
Sorry, let's rephrase. They are trying to solve the problem of when race isn't specified. The solution they came up with is bad and affects pictures when race is specified or implied by the historical context. Midjourney and DALL-E had this same problem for a while because they were lazily inserting random races.

Seems every company needs to try this, fail, and then fix it.
Thank you Denmark. If Putin wins this and Ukraine no longer exists, that teaches other dictators, the borders are lose and they can have their way.

> Where does Go fit in here?

Where you move past academic language discussion and start using the tooling. Typescript is a pretty nice language but the tooling around it is practically unusable. It's laughable how bad it is. Outside of browser work, you're going to pick Go – and still would even if they made the language 10x more flawed – over Typescript every time just to not have to deal with that ecosystem.

Granted, people are trying to make it better. Dahl going on his Go kick and wanting to copy its lessons in the Typescript world via Deno has lit a fire, but there is still a lot of work to do.
"Machine Customers" already among us (and they number in the billions)
People already fill their homes with nanny cams. Very soon someone will hook those up to LLMs so you can ask it what happened at home while you were gone.
> The safest places people inhabit are their home, their work, places with private security measures.

Weird takeaway. Those aren't primarily places with security measures, they're places where trusted people outweigh untrusted ones.
We Canadians used to regularly talk about how cheap the US was, and load up on gas, food, beer, cheese and all the rest when staying in cheap hotels and getting cheap meals with cheap entertainment (concerts, sporting events, etc.). If you could be bothered electronics were cheap, cars were cheap, clothes were cheap, etc. etc.

In the last ~12 months I have been floored how expensive life in the US is now. I was just down two weeks ago, and everything was either the same dollar number as Canada or higher, but it's in US dollars.

I don't know how people are doing it.
For small values of N, the linear terms of the transformer dominate. At the end of the day, a double layer of 764*2048 is still north of 3.1 MM flops/token/layer.
Often the shortcuts that people point out in these threads are too niche for me to remember, but that seems like a pretty great one, I’ll try to remember it.

Method identified to double computer processing speeds
Been thinking about buying a framework but haven’t heard of this. Have they ever said why they haven’t updated it?
The problem with this advice is that solvers are one of the best ways to understand how to "exploit the shit out of your opponents".

Piosolver has several features that lets you emulate how your opponent plays, such as "node locking", that "lock" the game tree node to the strategy you suspect your opponent plays, and shows you how to maximally exploit it.

Otherwise, what is your exploitation based on? Certainly some people have great instincts for the game, but it's just untrue that solvers can't help you exploit weaker players. For example, if you're on a given board and a given river and an opponent makes a big bet, if your opponent bluffs too much you should call, if they don't bluff enough you should fold. But the solver teaches you how often they should be bluffing and thus what "too much" or "not enough" even means.

This is why I prefer the term "theory-based" to GTO, since the point of studying GTO is not to play GTO but to develop a better understanding of the underlying mechanics of the game.

Hong Kong SFC receives 18 applications for virtual asset trading platform licenses from local and global crypto exchanges.
Hong Kong also sees its first application for a spot Bitcoin ETF from Harvest Hong Kong, one of China’s largest fund managers.
Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has seen a surge in crypto license applications from both local and global players in the past two months. On Feb. 20, Huobi HK, the Hong Kong arm of crypto exchange Huobi, became the 18th applicant for a virtual asset trading platform license.

The SFC introduced a new regulatory framework for crypto exchanges in November 2023, requiring them to obtain a license to operate in Hong Kong. The license allows them to offer trading services for security tokens and non-security tokens, such as Bitcoin and Ether, to professional investors.
Nobody can or should be expected to know about every the safety and security aspects of every single minute detail in their lives.
> that all these super smart people released a model this bad

The model isn't bad, that's not how this race compensation works, at least all the implementations I've seen. They do it by rewriting the prompt behind the scenes. DALL-E 3 currently does it this way; they even tell you the final prompt in the response. Google isn't the first company that makes an image generator to make this exact mistake by lazily inserting races into people's prompts.

It took me too long to find out that Larry named PageRank after himself and not after ranking web pages.

And I was horrified when I learned that lynching is named after someone, and a perpetrator at that.
Love to see people has interest over our demo. But, I checked his former post, and he already built a voice Agent a couple of days ago. So I believe he just changed the prompts to create this demo: https://twitter.com/sean_moriarity/status/175895035375034804.... Also, after testing their live demo at https://nero.ngrok.dev/, it appears it might still be missing some key features, such as latency and endpoint detection.

is anyone actually using Deno in production for larger projects?
No mention of Sorbet. Is anyone (outside of Stripe, Shopify, etc) using it?
If Node/Typescript isn't performant enough, you need to move a lot of bytes around, but training a developer team on Rust seems like a massive organizational expenditure.

Go is probably the most efficient language for 0 -> Production. The standard library has everything you need to build a production backend service. There's zero build system shenanigans. Anyone who's seen a C-like language can start writing mediocre code today, and be pretty well off in 2 weeks.

So far at Notion we're solving all our problems with Typescript/NodeJS, but I'm currently working on a distributed system with Consul that needs to move a lot of bytes in and out of files in somewhat complicated ways, and boy howdy am I feeling the painful performance ceiling of single-core NodeJS, and I'm sure if I sat down to rewrite the performance sensitive part in Go, I'd be done in a few days and it'll do 10x the throughput of the NodeJS service with the same resources.

I wouldn't call a step in a history-aware conversation a completely new universe. By that logic, every single time a token is generated is a new universe even though the token is largely dependent on the prompt, which includes custom instructions, chat history, and all tokens generated in the response so far.
and when they fire the rest of them and move the headquarters back to Renton (or wherever the engineers live), not VA. and pick some brilliant management with both engineering and business experience, that have strong incentives to make boeing a success long-term. and when pigs learn to fly. and somewhat after that, with a lot of work and good luck, it might get a little better.
No one is expecting a 0% error rate. As long as it is on par (or better) and faster than humans, that's good enough to get the ball rolling.

Curious to see how I fared at the task (first vid), I used just over 4 minutes writing down the books with readable titles - and got 36 of them. Seems like there are 56-57 or something like that. So I roughly got two thirds of the books in the video. But that's still 4 minute of pausing and sliding the video for the book titles alone.
Japan is an import-dependent company. Fuel and food are mostly imports, so that hurts everyone.

And export oriented companies are making money. But trickle down economics is a myth, so it's not benefitting the workers. The executives are doing nicely so good for them I suppose.
Author here, thanks for sharing!

I'm really excited for where some of the extensions in the article are going - the RubyLSP has been improving slowly and steadily and I'm hoping that this is the year it gets _really good_.
Other extensions like the StimulusLSP are niche, but awesome, and on the Twitter thread for this article (https://twitter.com/hrrsnbbnt/status/1759900961760477681) someone even pointed me to a new ERB formatter that looks promising.

TLDR; Rails is alive and well! Ruby has never been a first-class citizen of VS Code, but there's still some awesome extensions out there to give you a decent experience. And it's getting better!
Not the person you’re asking, but basically anything that needs to happen after the initial parsing stage. So you convert your raw text into an AST, but there’s usually some processing you need to do after that.

Maybe you need to optimize the data, maybe you need to do some error checking. Lots of code is syntactically valid but not semantically valid, and usually those semantic errors will persist into the AST (in my limited experience).
I liked his interview with Lex Fridman.

He's full of himself but has interesting things to say.

WolframAlpha is a gem on its on right. Yeah we have Gemini, GPT, Mixtral but when it comes to actual compositional compute, Wolfram alpha gets you the right answer and shows you the math.
[edit, clearing since I guess this is too far afield, sorry, though it was interesting.]
thanks! there seems to be many use cases of making html forms / form fields collaborative. to name a few:

- forms where you fill in the form but need expert advice for some fields. I'm thinking medical or legal or similar. With a collaborative form you could share the state of your form with them and they can look it over. Current workaround is to do a screen share with them so they can look at what you have.

- gathering information from groups of people, eg rental applications, YC application

- multi-step forms where you have different people do each step and need to coordinate when someone finishes their portion and who should go next.

for data language-level replication it seems like over enough time CRDTs would add a decent overhead, but I assume you could use CRDTs just for replicating and once you knew replication was complete you could convert the CRDT data struct into the simple underlying type?
I'm a big fan of this space and have been hacking on it too.

With a few tricks you can use LLMs or anything else you can call from a script, from anywhere in your OS via input capture and simulation, and clipboard. And it can be cross platform!

Here's the project, if it might interest anyone.

They are doing it with wage growth. Inflation is likely a result of high employment levels. There are more jobs than candidates.

Personally I believe it is due to the last of the boomers retiring. Economists/analysts are not used to thinking about demographics and they have a blind spot on this ever more important topic.
My hives just survived 8°F, and a week below freezing. I was happy to see scouts exploring, two days ago... but I imagine I'll be shuffling frames around here again before not-too-long (to make each healthier).

Four years ago I lost three hives (of four, total).
The real world used to be filled with these people too. They'd have brick and mortar shops to sell quality products, and customers could step in and get expert advice on what to purchase within their budget.

Something happened.

"build in resell marketplace" you mean scalping? It should be legal but I think it isn't most of the time?

"Live stream" or pirating? Idk if that's actually the word for this.

"Built in navigation" I'd rather just have a link that takes me to my own navigation app thanks.

"Email notifications about similar events" do you read emails from random websites constantly trying to get you to come back to their platform? Like are you the guy that connects with every suggested connection that linked in throws at you so you go there one more time?

I can see "adding your own events" and "create groups of people" being useful.

Sorry if that feels harsh, and maybe I'm just not your target market, but I would focus way more on getting more, and more accurate data. It's not really useful at all unless it's THE place to go to look for events near you.
The ecosystems.

Laravel's first-party ecosystem, both paid and free, on top of the framework is quite widespread. This also brings a lot of people to the party on the third party side with excellent tools like Filament and Ploi. I don't see this nearly as much for Django. Have a look under the Ecosystem tab on the Laravel homepage. Within a few `composer install`s, you can get:

- Local dev environment (i.e. actually running the app): Herd, Sail

- Stripe/Paddle support: Cashier, Spark

- Starter kit scaffolds including all the usual auth goodies (e.g. 2FA): Breeze, Jetstream

- View layer alternatives to plain old HTML views: Livewire, Inertia

- API and Social logins: Passport, Sanctum (for SPAs), Socialite

- Fulltext search: Scout

- Robust APM: Pulse, and Telescope on dev

- Admin panels: Nova, and 3rd party Filament

- Websockets: Echo, Reverb (coming soon)

- Infrastructure, both traditional and serverless: Forge, Envoyer, Vapor, Ploi

- Completely alternative PHP runners to replace php-fpm: Octane with Roadrunner, Swoole, or FrankenPHP

- Automated browser testing: Dusk

You can find Django packages for these things too, but I struggle to see many of them coming from the actual Django team. I also think the Django Admin solution is very neat for getting off the ground, but doesn't seem as robust as Nova or Filament.

Lastly, call it my bias, but Python's overall lacklustre developer experience with package and environment management (compared to Composer and Ruby gems) also affects Django as a result.
The headline is definitely wrong due to all of the above and also due to iMessage being closed source. iMessage does not have the transparency or auditability to be on the same footing as Signal, which is free and open source.
We also know it uses the GPUs to generate numbers. But these numbers, they were the wrong ones. More technically, part of the computation didn’t work when run on some hardware.
That’s not helping, that’s excusing OpenAIs behavior, which is not something anyone on hn should be doing.

This is supposedly the greatest AI mankind has ever created, it goes down for a little while and we have zero information on why or how, that’s simply inexcusable

If this is such a socially impacting technical change we should be ripping it to pieces to understand exactly how it works. Thats a) how we protect society from technical charlatans b) how you spawn a whole new world of magnificent innovations (see Linus building a truly free Unix like operating system for everyone to use).

Failing to hold them to as high a bar is a another step down the path to a dystopian corporatists future…
Having some "AI" that generates code in your IDE is roughly equivalent to copy-pasting code from the first google hit. Great for search/autocomplete/filling out obvious patterns. The grunt work. But terrible for doing anything novel or interesting - which presumably is the entire reason you have a software job.
Thanks for sharing. Curious, what main value adds have you gotten out of this data?
it’s for satisfying the wet dreams of management in large companies dreaming of replacing developers with AI.

the issue is that it will take a long time before they wake up and scramble to re-hire the people they laid off. in the meantime i predict a lot of developers will have pivoted to other careers, retired, became AI devs etc.

WalMart's bell peppers keep getting smaller, and more expensive... luckily, they stock a packaged bundle (of about a dozen) "sweet peppers" which costs under $3.

I dice these, with an onion, and then freeze the 3/4's I don't use in the present dish. This way, they'll "keep" forever, and I don't have to chop but 25% of the time (for freshies).

Having been poor for the majority of my life (until just two years ago), please don't hesitate to ask for more "hack$."

Alternatively we could use hash-based signature schemes which have been proven secure under certain assumptions about hash functions, such as SPHINCS, or ZKP based schemes along the lines of Picnic (Picnic in particular uses LowMC which is somewhat new). In that case a backup seems unnecessary.
The main point is the list are things named after people who's etymology is utterly unexpected and surprising. It's like if the Rocky mountains were named after William Rocky.
