We've had such a spate of piss poor developers over the years that I find it gleeful to think they'll no longer be employable.

Yes, I know that makes me an asshole but I've seen some shit and it actively offends me that these people are paid for the code and the bad name it gives an industry I participate in and love. My hope is that AI will allow the good to great developers to be productive enough to force the craptastic developers to find another career.

My absolute favorite example is the guy who accidentally built a FSM with http redirects for the node transitions, all to animate a progress bar for a job queue on the server. No, he had no idea he had built a FSM.

It objectively wasn't. I've never heard of a case where the auditor doesn't independently verify the bank account balance with the bank itself.
More reliable evidence reduces the need for additional corroborating evidence. In general the evidence obtained from the company itself wouldn't be considered reliable by itself.

Ask HN: Looking for a project to contribute to? (March 2024)
This thread is open to anyone seeking for volunteer projects to contribute to and anyone who is seeking volunteer contributorss for their projects.

SEEKING CONTRIBUTORS: A good example would be to write the name of the project, and a short description. Also write down the project website and git forge URL, and write the programming languages it uses. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" for people seeking projects to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING PROJECTS" comments.

SEEKING PROJECTS: If comfortable doing so, write down your name, and programming languages that you know. Also don't forget to write down some of the projects that you have volunteered on, or some of the projects that you made, and what you are interested in working on. Optionally, you can write your email, if you want opportunities to be discussed privately. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING PROJECTS" for people seeking volunteers to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" comments.
Despite being framed as something for legacy C/C++ codebases, this is pretty good advice for setting up testing and CI automation around any project.

I recently started on a new Rust project, and despite not having to worry about things like sanitizers as much, I followed a similar approach of getting it to compile locally, getting it compile in a docker container, setup automated CI/CD against all PRs.

Although I would order the steps as 1, 3, 4, 2. Don't get out the chainsaw until you have CI/CD tests evaluating your code changes as you go.
Well government (supposedly) exists to serve the people, why have an issue when the people decide to serve themselves? We should be encouraging it, while finding a solution that is sustainable.

Imagine if the city identified this as an issue today. It would take minimum of months to potentially years to start implement a solution.

We had an issue of too much rapid development in our town and dump trucks were littering the streets with gravel debris, making the roads unsafe (it's difficult to stop on a dime if you slide on gravel, as I unfortunately found out recently). We had a local Lions den club decide to take action and start sweeping up the gravel.

lots of publishing history in different media tells the story. "Broadcast media" was always suspect from the point of view of artsy, sophisticated and niche circles.. and I do mean circles, because publishing, content creation, and fans are all different people and need each other to make it work. This has been done "well" over and over.. but in the digital realms the incentives and mechanisms are powerful in overwhelming ways. More people than have ever existed in previous eras, are involved now.

>Most Americans do exactly the same.

I don't think it's the same at all. Attitudes towards the Iraq war changed massively during the presidency of George W Bush [1]. They didn't suddenly flip when Obama came into office.

Also, looking at America today from the outside, what I see is a very polarised country with very entrenched opinions that I don't see changing much regardless of who wins the next election.

Is the theory that anything a city cannot afford, or chooses not to afford, should be cut?

For instance, bike paths.
If a city is not doing enough maintenance on the paths, then it proves
that bike transportation is unsustainable.

Or does it mean that the city should spend more money on bike paths and roads?
It's definitely a result of growing up poor. If you've grown up poor, you've been denied things your entire life. You grow up with a deep sense of financial insecurity, a very valid sense of insecurity, because you know how easy it is all to lose, and you've seen it happen. This puts you in a headspace where no matter how successful you become, you cannot enjoy yourself during the day without this nagging feeling that you need to work and be productive. This is a great help initially, but I believe it does make it difficult to slow down, enjoy life, even if you're quite comfortable when you retire.
Equivariant machine learning is a thing that people have tried... Tends to be expensive and slow, though, and imposes invariances that our model (a universal function approximator, recall) should just learn anyway: If you don't have enough pictures of upside down cows, just train a normal model with augmentations.

Huh? That's not at all true. It's only using processing power (CPU) while it actually generates text, otherwise it sits and wait. Although yes it occupies memory (RAM or VRAM) if you don't unload it, but you can configure it to startup when you need it, and shut down when you don't.

I thought it was because of this part. I gave another view of how not getting a promotion would not necessarily be a failure.
All the "complexity" of a hybrid (or at least... a Prius) is approximately 15 gears that replace the alternator/starter/transmission.

The Toyota Power-split device is a planetary-gearset connecting 2x electric motors/generators with 1x ICE engine.

But a regular ICE car needs 2x electric motor/generators *anyway*. #1 is called the starter (turns Lead-Acid battery pack into cranking force to start the engine), and #2 is called the alternator (turns engine RPMs into electricity to charge the battery pack). Then you need a gear-shifter to have the ICE car handle a variety of different speeds.

Change #1 and #2 to be bigger, stronger. Then make the effective-gear shifting a function of the relationship of #1 vs #2 RPMs, and you got a Toyota Power Split Device.

--------

Its so efficient and usable, that Ford has copied the design, as well as Stellanis's Chrysler Pacifica. As it turns out, a Hybrid barely has any more complexity over a regular ICE in practice.

Its just a *different* set of gears, but really not a big deal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofycaXByTc

Over the last 25 years of Prius, the Hybrid / Power-split Device has rarely failed. Prius transmission / generator / starter is incredibly reliable. Its just gears.

All in all, the "complexity" of a Hybrid is roughly the same level of complexity as an automatic-transmission wet-clutch device.
Thank you for all the feedback!

1. Our frontend guy has been dreading this but it is high on the list nonetheless :)

2. Somewhat lower down the list but we have heard this before too

3. I have array functionality on a branch, still ironing out some rough edges, might be a month or two before we land it for real. We can add those builtins hlookup & edate very quickly.

4. We haven't heard anyone request vector drawing before. Can you elaborate on the use case? Sounds interesting.

5. Re: Row 0, we have funnily heard a lot of Excel people always wanted it, because they tend to have headers at the top, and it always bothered them referring to their data starting at A2 instead of A1. It's not a compatibility issue for import from Excel, because we just import all the data starting at A1. It can be a problem for export to Excel (which we don't have yet, but will), but we will just shift everything down by 1 row as if you had done a giant cut-paste.

6. For string types we have "contains" but we don't have "does not contain", will add it. Excel allows you to do "contains" on number types too which we thought nobody actually wanted, but if you do want it, we can add it. There are some performance implications to this because it means you have to convert numbers to strings to do the check.

7. More customization is probably farther down the line when we grow more.

8. Yes, right now we can only output to CSV. We have had some people talk about how they want to output to Powerpoint slides, PDF, etc. This is definitely on our radar.
> And yes, I also hate when I misplace my billions. Especially since I have yet to relocate them...

I think you're joking, but I'm not sure. I work in trading, and I've been on the receiving end of that phone call. As I recall, it was around 9PM in the US, my work phone rang and could see from the caller ID that it was from our London office. There were no greetings, first words I hear were "We're missing over a billion dollars. You need to find it...NOW."

When I received that call, it was in the middle of the 2008 financial crisis. The daily PnL swings were wild, and it wasn't always clear on the cause. FX volatility was insane. We did all of our PNL reporting in USD, but held a lot of foreign assets.

There was no malfeasance; I'd just taken ownership of the system a week or two before, and a nightly job had silently failed. Perl job on Windows, extracting data from a 3rd party trading system that wasn't built w/ integrations in mind, feeding it into in-house systems. It was a very flimsy house of cards. A gentle breeze in the night would knock it over. Rewrote the integration in Python, hooked everything up into our monitored job scheduler. Had to do some janky UI automations in Python until we got the vendor to add a proper CLI-based reporting mechanisms. It was a "fun" ride, but I eventually got my evenings back. Did cause the end of a relationship, though, so there's that.
That's annoying. Sounds like vulkan stumbled into exactly the same problem opengl had. There was the core, then a maze of vendor features and extensions differently supported.
Well, US has zero domestic 5G equipment manufacturers. So it is not really a question of China managing US mobile networks.

And Nokia/Ericsson/Samsung could have won the 5G core bids if the pricing structure and/or features were better than Huawei’s.

Not defending Huawei, but considering how the US market works… they won pretty fairly.

In the end customers will pay the price of “China bad”. And most likely tax payers for all the subsidies governments will telcos to remove Huawei equipment from their networks.

At least with a GPU that can do power save that's not the case. I have a box with some 3090's in it, each card will idle <50W when it's not doing inference with the weights loaded into VRAM. Only when I ask it to do inference it will spin up and start consuming 300-400W.

Don't you think that this is much better for the goals of the western sanctions than preventing money from going out of the country?

I'm a Russian guy (with a Freedom bank KZ account), who publicly condemn the barbaric invasion and thus is threatened by the homeland's so called authorities. A guy who left Russia after the war has started in order to stop at least paying taxes that fuel this war (and to avoid being sent to the frontline as well).
Who have been living, working and paying taxes in the EU since then.
I want the war to stop ASAP from the very first day.
As well as having the responsible maniacs to face the trial.

And I see many of the sanctions counter-productive.

Can you imagine what it took to get my savings (before calling it "blood money", keep in mind, that I always supported the opposition, never worked for the government-affilated entities and tried my best to prevent this war) to the European banks with all this witch-hunt and passport-based discrimination.

Would you really prefer my money to stay in Russia and work for the benefit of the war?

I'm not. Except for time-limited emergencies, I have never worked more than 40 hours per week for others. That's never been part of the business deal I agreed to.

In my own ventures, however, I work insane hours. I'm willing to do that because I'm making a bet/investment that benefits me. I'm not going to kill myself in order to benefit someone else's business. The very idea seems crazy to me.
No, they did ask. And got Bank statements. They even went to a subsidiary branch of the bank and confirmed that the money exits in Indonesia (or was it the Philippines?). The problem: This bank had no branch in Singapore (or wherever it was). He set up a fake branch with actors that showed EY computer statements - EY took pictures of the screens - with the balance.

You can't make this up. EY screwed up, but they could not have reasonably assumed that someone sets up a fake bank branch.

thanks, this is great information! it's good to see that in the "information" sidebar (visible by clicking the circled i icon at the top of the right toolbar) they've removed the language about redistributing to lists or posting on servers. but "commercial advantage", especially now that they've removed "direct", seems like it could pose a lot of risks

in the united states today, universities can no longer take advantage of the research exemption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_exemption to patents because madey v. duke held that, by using madey's patented invention for research purposes, duke was 'increas[ing] the status of the institution and lur[ing] lucrative research grants', so a sneaky lawyer hired by a hypothetical future cacm administration could argue that things like archiving the cacm articles in a university library could produce 'commercial advantage' for the university, so it would be nice to have the acm using language that protects users' rights more solidly

also, i feel like having the notice hidden by default makes it unnecessarily difficult to comply with, since the notice requires that copies 'bear this notice (...) on the first page'. unlike older cacm publications, the pdf of that article produced by the acm also doesn't bear the notice on the first page, or in fact anywhere, so you have to modify the pdf to be able to copy it in compliance with the conditions of the notice

cc-by-nd or similar licenses are clearly not compliant with the definition of 'open access' in the berlin declaration. you may be correct that acm doesn't have the legal ability to license the creation of derivative works of older articles unless the author or other copyright holder had transferred copyright to the acm. that would make those older articles not open access, and obtaining the necessary licenses might be logistically infeasible at this point by any measure short of drastically reducing the term of copyright through legislation

so it seems like the acm is improving the situation considerably, but there's still a long way to go

I think maybe I was unclear. I'm talking about writing libraries that abstract across these differences and provide a single API, as sibling describes. I already know it's possible. I made a simple filesystem abstraction here[0] and a very simple HTTP library that uses it here[1]. They both work in Node/Deno and the browser. Unfortunately I ran into issues with Bun's slice implementation[2], but that should be fixed eventually.

My overall question is that I suspect there's a much better way of detecting and using the different backends, and I'm wondering what techniques are out there.

On one hand, Elon absolutely has a point that OpenAI has not been acting in concert with the purported principles of their founding and nonprofit status.

On the other hand, Elon is not a neutral party in this, not only is he enough of a narcissist / megalomaniac to be upset about someone else (Sam) being the center of attention, but he's scrambling to throw in with his own competing AI which is rather unlikely to hold any deep commitment to the "benefit of humanity" either.
