Using DNS for this is a very bad idea. The format to convert those strings to html may be good, the storage (DNS) is the bad part, especially that you can host such small files for free usually.

The first example collapses all the layers into one, which can result in a smaller image than the second

If a layer creates a file and then a subsequent layer deletes it, the deleted file is still present in the image taking up space. If you squash the layers, the deleted file is gone

“scratch” used to be an empty layer, but in newer versions is now just syntax to state that you want a layer without a parent layer
Exactly opposite in my experience. Seniors (10+ years experience) knows what programming language or library or paradigm or monolith or microservice you use isn't THAT important they all have their problems and everything is a tradeoff.

Juniors rewrite code to use their favorite language, rewrite to microservices, etc.

But it could be we just have different definitons of "senior". The ones with a couple years experience, enough knowledge to be dangerous but not yet lots of experience and not seen enough bad stuff yet are the worst...
Let's do a thought experiment in an area the HN crowd is more familiar with. Gitlab is open source. Heck even all their internal documents are open. Can you become an effective Gitlab competitor just by copying their stuff?

Let's say Slack's source code got leaked. Can you become an effective Slack competitor just by copying them?

Now imagine that the semiconductor industry is many times more complex.

Also look at what the Chinese semiconductor industry is actually doing. Anybody who pays attention sees that they're trying out new things, choosing solution directions that are free from foreign IP. Chinese fabs are replacing foreign equipment with Chinese (incompatible) equipment. Why would they do all that instead of doubling down on hacking and stealing? Why would Chinese equipment not be drop-in-compatible if copying and stealing is so lucrative? Why would Huawei drop all Android support, instead opting to design their entire OS stack from the ground up in an incompatible manner, instead of leeching from open source Android forever?
It's different in that it's creating a new unique intermediate layer, but admittedly I'm struggling to see the value for most workflows. I assume there's an important detail I'm missing, as is the usual case with interesting Dockerfiles.
Nobody said "Javascript is the pinacle". But it is extremely difficult to create standards that multiple companies can agree on and want to spend huge efforts to implement and continue to refine for 30+ years. Microsoft tried to make VBScript happen, but nobody else making browsers would ever support it, so it died. And I'm glad it did, because it let everyone focus on Javascript and improving it, hardening it as an attack vector, and creating a huge variety of tooling for every kind of project.

Web browsers that don't use HTML, JS, and CSS simply wouldn't be web browsers, that would be something else entirely. And anyone is free to try to make that application using any tech they want, but it won't be widely adopted or supported the way HTML, JS and CSS are.
But who is adjusting their expectations? The data does not show women are and being willing to partner with men they don't currently believe to be suitable, and men adjusting their expectations is staying home, playing video games, and watching porn (which is entirely reasonable on their part, considering the landscape; if you can't win, why play?).

I am sure it is highly variable, but I wonder what the cost of negative soil CO2 sequestration techniques like biochar, is these days? Or even just land use improvements to sequester more CO2, seems like lower hanging fruit than DAC.
It's just reads that the author works/worked at horrible companies.

Also because someone gives you the title senior, you don't immediately become one: for me being senior is about changing one's mentality (through experience) that a problem can almost always be solved, and bringing that confidence to the team. As a junior one often worries whether they have enough skill, as a senior you know you do and whatever you don't know, you'll learn it.

Boring meetings, working during the weekends, stress and awful legacy tech is not a necessity.
I think it's meant to remove a layer, as you're modifying the base layer rather than altering it through a second layer. Probably to limit size. (but that's a theory)

> you have to take affirmative action _not_ to tip, and people in line around you can see, so the social pressure is enormous.

A foodtruck I watch on twitch has everyone choose an option. No tip, some pre-set amounts, or custom. So no social pressure there, as no one else will know. They are using the square register.
The nerve on this article, they went ahead and compared nVidia to Huawei. Yeah, maybe they will came up something IoT capable, but that's about it. Communism never works, especially when you want to create something high tech, not just plastic crap.
Of course it can. Simply ask the LLM about itself. chatGPT4 can answer.

In fact. That question is one of the more trivial questions it will most likely not hallucinate on.

The reason why I alluded to humans here is because I'm saying we are setting the bar too high. It's like everyone is saying it hallucinates and therefore it can't understand anything. I'm saying that we hallucinate too and because of that LLMs can approach humans and human level understanding.
I believe h' is for the next state. y(t) is to predict the next word so it uses the current hidden state h(t).
the other side of this is that uneducated women cant reliably date up anymore and this is single handedly exacerbating inequality greater than capital consolidation and other socioeconomic factors

although it might currently masquerade as a cultural thing or a factor of the gender identity, men dated down out of necessity, by population alone.

find the study to corroborate that, this is the first generation where the middle on the higher rungs and the upper middle class actually has enough women in it to date and thats whats happening

entire dynasties of women that thought they could offer their presence alone, and finding out they only have choices with socioeconomic equals instead of higher

lower socioeconomic status groups of women are so vocal about their sex work or balking at questions of “what do they bring to the table” because they thought being available sexually and pleasant would open up a different path, but are just entertainment options. they basically have to be louder because they don’t know what’s going on, notably, this groups considers themselves empowered too, at least self identify as such.

A lot of “actshually”.

JS is a proper language. Modern JS is beautiful - and I say that as someone who is Kotlin developer on a day to day job. Sure it has its warts, but you need to take into account its age and how widespread it is.

The field of research here is far older than ChatGPT's release. Neural network research has been going on for at least 50 years.

Most of the research that enabled ChatGPT was also already known. "Attention is all you need" was a 2017 paper.

It still is a fast evolving field, but not one that just kicked off.
I mean, he was right … for what we knew at that time. He predicted correctly that the only way to achieve a general intelligence it would require to mimic the extremely complex neural networks in our brain that the hardware of the time was very far away from achieving. He could not predict that things would move so fast on the hardware side (nobody could have)that made this somewhat possible. We are atill I would argue a bit out in having the appropriate computer power to make this a reality still, but it now is much more obvious that it is possible if we continue on this path
You’re thinking of it way too specifically and narrowly. Those traits might have lots of side effects you aren’t considering. There were all sorts of problems to be solved in hunter-gatherer days. Specifically hunting by stalking large prey is not the only skill that was useful back then.
I think the situation is a lot more complicated than youre making it out to be. GPT4 for example can be very good at tasks it has not seen in the training data. The philosophy of mind is much more open ended and less understood than you seem to think.

I've had a mix of it, but I am also often the guy trying to push a reason to use the new tech. Not necessarily a stack but usually a new database or service that fits the problem space well.
> So why do we keep discussing this over and over again? Working in factories competing with Asia kinda sucks for the 21 century wealthy westerner so they don't want to do it like in Asia, which is what it takes to keep prices low and consumers happy

What’s the alternative for your average American? They don’t want to work like Asians in a factory, but they also don’t want the dead-end service jobs that are the alternative in an economy where the real productive work is done overseas.
For BGP there’s [1] which is quite new and I wanted to check out, haven’t had the time yet. There are some older guides e.g. by Cisco as well.

I think in general more of the documentation and information is in blog posts and RFCs, so I’d start there, e.g. [2] is quite nice.

Expectation: Once I become a senior, I will have more time to relax.
Reality: It’s fine, I’ll finish the work on Saturday.

The expectation is actually true in my personal experience. The more I know (and I know I don’t know tons of stuff) the more free time I have during working hours. It’s not that I’m solving NP problems or hard distributed systems problems or migrating TBs of data without downtime; i’m doing more complex stuff than when I was a junior, but all in all, I can control it and hence the relaxing time I have nowadays (compared to the hectic times when I was a junior)

>Who brought up the "west" in this context? and why is it so important?

Anybody interested to see if this is anything special about this case, or just the standard amount that goes on everywhere.

Singling out some country for something that happens everywhere, wouldn't be that different than someone saying "immigrants from X did Y amount of violent crimes" to paint them as particularly violent, when the number might be totally proportional to their share of the population and/or some controls for income level.
It doesn’t need to be all or nothing though, humans are social creatures. If rates are similar, having 5-10% of your tribe being more exploratory could be advantageous, even if the rest are picking up slack in other areas.

Unsure if it’s pseudoscience, but similar to the argument around morning vs. evening preference being related to having someone alert for the tribe at the right times.

If the outcome of the focus vs aloof aren't equally weighted, you'd sill come out ahead?

Eg hunting when fixated on hunting, you bring back 5 times the food vs hunting while you're watching a movie in your head gets you 1/2 times the food
Yeah that's one reason I don't like volunteer stuff.

That's not up to good intended people to fix things, that's the role of government.

You often find righteous people in NGO, those people often have the motivation to change the habits of homeless people and the poor, like it's a crusade to re-educate them to a virtuous path or something, that's religious in a way.

Those people actually reinforce stereotypes, and poor people who need help, become even more sensitive and stigmatized.

Could there a be a future where consumption is met with equal parts restoration and environmental investment by the companies themselves? I'd like a progressive system where whole foods nutrition, clean water, shelter, and medical care is subsidized below cost, but then everything else requires us to pony up when purchasing.

Ideally juniors will eventually grow to a point where you don't have to constantly tell them what to do.

Early career people just don't know how to make the right decisions yet. They need mentorship and help, that's expected and I'm happy to help as long as they're learning.

I hate it when I have to hold the hands of "seniors" though - often asking "what do you think?" or "what have you tried so far?" is enough to get them to do their jobs.
I'm OK with this behavior :)
I don't disagree, but the current trajectory might very well mean billions of people not having inhabitable land to live on (and the resulting mass migration, wars), so my risk tolerance for side effects of structural changes goes up.
Falsehood: The distinction between "junior" and "senior" developer makes sense and isn't just the figment of the imagination of some corporate ladder climbers who drank too much of the kool-aid.

Let's say I drop out of college, found my own software company, and within a few years my company is valued at 9 figures. Am I a "junior" or "senior" developer? Does anyone give a crap?

Keep in mind that in high school and college, one advances from "junior" to "senior" simply by aging one year and not failing.
> Reality: This legacy code isn't going anywhere, and neither am I. Let's fix some bug that happens once every full moon.

I've been doing this for 18 years now, maybe I'm just getting old, but I prefer legacy code. It's got a history, it's got known issues. All greenfield is is problems you don't see, yet.
I feel like it's only in the past few years people have been talking about "junior" vs "senior" except as literal job titles. It's a weird binary distinction when of course gaining experience is a gradient.
> Maybe there’s a better way than having a DOM in the first place.

I was just creating a UI with IMGUI library and found it immediately more pleasant to work with. No DOM, no CSS, no HTML. Just C code with a small number of low level abstractions provided by the library.
I think AI refers to large models.

Smaller probabilistic models line linear regression, I’d call machine learning.

I have heard things about this, but I wish there could be a better documentary with proper accounting done to point out those numbers and why they are so high.
>That article is from January 2023, so the numbers in there are 2022, not last year,

Thanks for the clarification. The numbers are a little different, but unfortunately the main point is still true. Before the phaseout started, nuclear contributed more than 20% to electricity generation. Even now with nuclear basically eliminated, coal is still being used in 2024 to provide electricity in Germany. Earth just experienced its hottest 12 months in recorded history and it was really incredibly poor decision making to start shutting down nuclear power plants while still burning coal.
I suppose the goal is not inheriting environment variables, entrypoint definition etc, not sure
That is certainly a possibility. My guess is most outliers in development are the result of less common combinations of useful variation.

Some combinations inevitably don’t work as well as others, but the variation in combinations is still net valuable.

And some outliers may be valuable in the context of being a limited part of the population. I.e. we need some day dreamers, some OCD people, etc.
I think part of understanding is filling in the gaps between facts. AIs can't recognize when that gap is too large
I don't really get the impression that current recycling techniques are lacking... typically the battery packs are immersion-shred and separated into the metal, plastic and the cathode "paste" which is a mix of lithium, mangagnese, nickel and cobalt. The recovery from there is pretty high - up to 95%.

The percentage of cobalt in modern lithium ion batteries (ie: tesla/panasonic's nmc-811 cells) is only 8% of the battery material. It's almost entirely Nickel now (72%) with traces of manganese (8%) and cobalt (9%). Even the lithium percentage is down to ~11%.

I was under the impression that the biggest issue right now was scaling up recycling facilities and recycling pathways back to those facilities so that they can handle the huge influx of batteries anticipated in the next 3-4 years. I don't think recovering 97% vs 95% of 8% of the material is going to change the economics of battery recyling.

The more interesting breakthroughs seem to be low-temperature, safe-chemical extraction. Let's not forget the advancements in cell composition that will lead to longer lifespans (2-3x higher cycle counts) - which not only reduces the waste from battery packs but also that from devices that use them.
Genuine question: you don’t think that outlier analysis (with moderate diligence) would have picked up the error in the original study, despite the plotting library issue? Just look at this link - this wasn’t detectable with any type of cross-validation? https://arxiv.org/html/2402.14583v1/x1.png
Here's the publication. IMO, these authors need to read The Selfish Gene, but it is an interesting theory. I have ADHD and work in a related field to these authors. This theory has been on the uptick but isn't really mainstream. I do rather like to entertain the fantasy, though.

If you insist we also talk about the tendentiously presentist and heavily cherry-picked historiography here on display, then I suppose we can do that. Given your apparent partiality, though, I don't know why you'd want to.
I think it can be phrased in terms of the famous explore/exploit dichotomy from cybernetics. An agent with ADHD is more likely to exploit/dig deeply once it gets the "scent", but that threshold is higher. A weak signal of ambient reward will lead to impatient exploring. Conversely, a non-ADHD agent will sooner find something good enough to fixate on but will also sooner give up on that region of interest and go on to the next scent. This would explain the paradox of hyper focus of ADHD and the corresponding moderation/saturation in non-ADHD as well.
This is false, and is explained by the block of text below that chart. The definition of M1 was changed. Notice the addition of savings and money market accounts.

Thank you for demonstrating the lack of critical thinking I was describing.

> Before May 2020, M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (3) other checkable deposits (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal, or NOW, and automatic transfer service, or ATS, accounts at depository institutions, share draft accounts at credit unions, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.

> Beginning May 2020, M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (3) other liquid deposits, consisting of OCDs and savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts). Seasonally adjusted M1 is constructed by summing currency, demand deposits, and OCDs (before May 2020) or other liquid deposits (beginning May 2020), each seasonally adjusted separately.
It’s amazing what happens when you just steal innovation from the rest of the world and are aided by a cabal of globalist treason merchants called politicians selling out their entire civilisation for a quick buck.
Not negating your anecdotal evidence but this is not even a fair comparison. Is 40k post-tax? Where does your friend in the EU live? Germany? Or Italy? Dresden or Torino? Where do his US peers live? Arizona? Or LA? Worlds of difference. Is it 3 figures but below $150k? Also, salary is _not_ the only cost of having an employee. In the US actual employee costs vary between 1.5x and 2x salary. What is the equivalent in the EU?
ah, i get no results pages often when i search for quoted error strings from many different sources. Thing is, I have a hard time believing that no one has actually talked about at least some of those errors :(
A problem can almost always be solved, the question is usually whether it's economical and/or timely to do so. If I have to learn a new skill to do something I have to factor that learning time into my estimates, so that management can plan enough time in the schedule.
I probably never had the expectation expressed here, but the reality as a senior (as I see it) is “everyone has opinions on what to do, now it’s my job to corral them into something productive like so many cats”. If anything, I think the biggest difference between my prior expectation and my reality is how much more social than technical the responsibility can be.
