Law-permitted discretionary exemptions are reasonable in extremis which I think California’s water situation is, a couple of good years notwithstanding. People can find any number of ways to be corrupt as well all know.

Since you’re not in the US: California’s woes are vastly overstated. There are indeed real problems, but the government here is remarkably clean — shockingly so by the standards of East Coast States (original colonies) and in general California has a good track record of dealing with many major issues. We can all list unresolved longstanding problems we hate (my list is pretty much prisons, schools, housing NIMBYs and prop 13) but as a general rule they do ok.

Also this is non partisan. Geographically CA is mostly “MAGA red” but corruption etc is pretty thinly and uniformly spread around.
Shoes being removed isn’t required in the US either. I haven’t had to do that in years. It’s a per-airport thing.
> But you can also pay $400 for a number of acceptable alternatives,

I don't think this true, unless you have extremely low standards for "acceptable". I've tried a number of $400 laptops and in every single case got fed up with the shittiness within minutes.
> not in the same weight class as a MacBook

Which might not be a consideration whatsoever. It isn't for me; I bring my laptop to the office, or from the office, and am never using it where weight makes one bit of difference.
They don't need to create it - they have the iPad with a detachable keyboard. What you've created is an unnecessary duplication of effort and an incredible expense for any user who would try to buy it, if it existed.
Of course it’s a job description and not an actual proper write up. Walmart’s engineering culture is _really bad_.

Anybody know the details of how these large chips are organized? Are they still in quartets of cores that share an L2, like the E-cores in recent desktop parts? What kind of ring, grid, mesh or whatever connects them?
A diverse diet with lots of plants, vegetables and fiber. This doesn’t change that.
the tragedy of languages making an accent on functional programming is that CS education simply does not make a big enough focus on learning that paradigm, which takes a lot of effort to learn, and then there are simply not enough people to hire for reasonable money to seriously maintain these codebases

this self filters only the most committed and possibly eccentric programmers to keep using them, which again reinforces the loop. this is a shame because OOP, which has few of the theoretical and practical benefits of FP, is regularly taught
With what RAM? ... and what weight?

For $1700 you can get a sub-1kg Asus ExpertBook B9 with 32GB RAM and a 2TB disk and a decent 12th 12 core Gen Intel CPU.

Not saying it is better in all respects, but definitely in some, meaning there are definitely alternatives.

This is how some computer games can be used. Goal -> Achievement -> Goal -> Achievement...

If used judiciously, they can help. Caution: Do not use free-to-play microtransaction games for this purpose (with a few possible exceptions) as those games tend to monetize pain.

You're better off doing something real, though. Bake a loaf of bread. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make yourself a sandwich with bread you made.

This cycle of goal -> completion -> next goal is the opposite of depression. Do what you need to lift yourself out. You can do it.

I can't really reply fully here, as my comment is flagged, and I'm accused of starting a flame war by even replying to this already charged story. It doesn't matter that the academic that who did the initial research is clearly an active and political academic figure - as I showed. That is fine apparently, but it is suggested that my comment here is wrong and I should simply not comment. It feels like only one side (not mine) is acceptable for a public airing.

> I totally agree that forcing and indoctrinating is wrong, but what do you do if people have already been indoctrinated, and as a result are forcing other people in a way that restricts them both?

Just on this point - can the right answer to dealing with indoctrinated people be even more indoctrination? Surely the answer to stop telling people what to do, live by example rather than endlessly judging and trying to change others for their own good, despite themselves.
Sounds almost recursive.
why would you get mad at a job description on a careers page for describing a job?
No, it's the random plate that came with the vehicle. (He tells that in another tweet)

and even if the first study hadn't been questioned, $75,000 in 2010 when it was published, the midpoint of a 60-90k range iirc, is equivalent to $104,000 today.

edit: I'm not advocating greed is good or anything. I have some personal bias against this study, not due to the author or results. It's that the first I heard of it, a literal billionaire was using it to defend flat worker salaries vs significant executive bonuses that year.
> Better just get used to the idea that you'll be sweating your ass off in the attic (wear a proper respirator!) every few years no matter what you install =)

Real buildings have conditioned attics and don’t have loose fiberglass in them. :) This can even be fixed in an old building as a fairly straightforward retrofit if you can get into the attic, and it goes well with a re-roof so you can cleanly remove all the vents.
Java is becoming more like Rust, and I am here for it
> It's really not the model, it's the data and scaling. Otherwise the success of different architectures like Mamba would be hard to justify.

My take is that prediction, however you do it, is the essence of intelligence. In fact, I'd define intelligence as the degree of ability to correctly predict future outcomes based on prior experience.

The ultimate intelligent architecture, for now, is our own cortex, which can be architecturally analyzed as a prediction machine - utilizing masses of perceptual feedback to correct/update predictions of how the perceptual scene, and results of our own actions, will evolve.

With prediction as the basis of intelligence, any model capable of predicting - to varying degrees of success - will be perceived to have a commensurate degree of intelligence. Transformer-based LLMs of course aren't the only possible way to predict, but they do seem significantly better at it than competing approaches such as Mamba or the RNN (LSTM etc) seq2seq approaches that were the direct precursor to the transformer.

I think the reason the transformer architecture is so much better than the alternatives, even if there are alternatives, is down to this specific way it does it - able to create these attention "keys" to query the context, and the ways that multiple attention heads learn to coordinate such as "induction heads" copying data from the context to achieve in-context learning.

I am conducting research based on how hybrid work schedules impact the work performance of software developers and need some people to take the survey so I can collect my data. I am aware that this does require a google account, however I directly say at the very start of the survey that this is only so you cannot take it twice. I need at least 24 more data points for my research project to validate my findings, so if you, or anybody you know, works with a hybrid schedule (at least one day in the office and one day at home per week) please fill out my survey so I can move on to the next part of my research. The survey takes about 10 to 15 minutes to fill out, if you don't fill out the optional parts it should only take about 5. Please only take my survey if you actually are a software developer working with a hybrid schedule. If you do have any questions, please ask them I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

There's a few lists but I suggest going through them and removing some entries.

Ask HN: Why aren't more companies using ScyllaDB
ScyllaDB has bold performance and cost efficiency claims against long standing DBs like MongoDB, Cassandra and DynamoDB.

Which makes it sound like a no brainer to migrate. (Obviously use case permitting)

Discord, Comcast, Epic Games are using ScyllaDB so I wonder, why aren't more companies considering or using ScyllaDB?

That's only true if those 10 additional reservoirs are capturing water that the original 10 were not capturing. You could also end up with 20 1/4 full reservoirs.

The underlying problem in California is that not enough rain is falling within the state's watersheds for everything people want to use it for. Adding more capacity won't double the amount of water available.

Adding more storage can help if it means less dumping at peaks or if they capture water in other areas. But reservoirs have been running half full for years before the heavy rains this year and last. The root of the problem is not enough water for too much demand.

Chromatic aberration is a type of optical distortion and is a separate issue to color rendition. Color rendition refers to the lens's ability to transmit light equally across the color spectrum. If the lens is more transparent to red wavelengths than blue, images will look warmer, for example. Chromatic aberration, on the other hand, is a type of distortion in which a lens fails to focus all colors to the same convergence point. It will negatively affect image quality even if you use the lens to take black and white photos, since the result is a blurrier image.
I like DOT a lot. Way back in the day we had a semi-serious proposal to use it in the Puppet configuration language to describe dependencies
Yes - this is a competition problem. If there were viable alternatives, then interoperability wouldn't be something we really talk about. Instead it'd be abstraction layers to run on the chip-specific runtimes. And then it's just CUDA trying to "beat" the alternative.

C and structs let you write code using whatever paradigm you want. So you can do object graphs. And you can also do closures. And you can do many other things.

Lots of things are possible when you just treat memory as bytes and pointers are just integers.

I think it's good to correct some exaggeration, but personally I would still prefer an 8gb M2 with small storage on a laptop that easily gets all day battery life. If it were going to sit on my desk 24/7 connected to a monitor, then I'd take the Asus ExpertBook. But as someone who travels and works from home but works all over the house or out of coffee shops, I would easily prefer the Mac.

I wasn't around Google when the book was written but after having read it and then managing a SRE team at Google my takeaway was: the book was not a documentary on how SRE works day to day.

And now the base M3 Air's support 2 displays? This is wild
Wouldn't C# be the most reasonable option if so? Maybe they did the math and the .NET ecosystem is much more expensive than Java? Even ignoring MS cost, most 3rd party libraries on .NET usually require a license.

Vertical SaaS is a trillion dollar market, and SaaS businesses see their revenue increase on average 40% (sometimes >200%) when adding financial services products. Unfortunately, because of the high complexity of launching financial products, only the largest companies can put in the investment needed to reap those rewards. We're offering pre-built, white-labeled financial applications that enable SaaS platforms to integrate financial services products easily, without having to invest material development or operations resources.

As we look toward launching with our first customers in June-August, we’re building out a founding team to work with us as we reach each milestone along the way.

We're hiring founding Software Engineers (entry-level to senior+) to join our team. To apply, send an email to jobs@embedded.dev introducing yourself, and learn more at https://embedded.dev
Doesn't the human brain work like this? Yeah it's all connected together and plastic and so on, but functions tend to be localized, e.g vision is in occipital area. These base areas are responsible for the basic latent representations (edge detectors) which get fed forward to the AGI module (prefrontal cortex) that coordinates the whole thing based on the high quality representations it sees from these base modules.

This strikes me as the most compute efficient approach.

This point in time is probably the peak of it not being worth it, assuming that this multi-billion dollar fine causes Apple to change strategy somewhat. I'd imagine it's likely to only get better from here, as Spotify implement whatever Apple gives them and Apple hopefully gives them more.

Because of this, I wouldn't judge Spotify at this point as this decision will probably look better over time. Maybe it's still not worth it in the long run, but at some level it will become worth it.

> I'd prefer if there was a major non-commercial license for code

Non-commercial licenses are considered non-free.

If you intend to be share your code with the world and don't want others to profit on your work without giving anything in return, go with something like (A)GPL. Sure, people will be able to profit on your work, but in return, you get all their bug fixes, testing, support, and improvements.

You have to realize that most contributions to GPL software is made by people who work for money, something that a non-commercial license would not let them do. So by releasing your software with such a license, you prevent the best people from eventually contributing. And why would you open source your software if not to take advantage of the contribution of others (in code or otherwise)? Another reason why you would want to publish your software under GPL (or compatible) is to make use of other GPL (or compatible) software and libraries, you can't do that if you publish under a non-commercial license. So, lots of drawbacks, few advantages.

If you really insist on using a non-commercial license, there are a few listed here: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeSoftwa...
