20 Years of "Not Even Wrong"
What if the Europe's laid back work culture and stricter control on environment(that is work environment, food and natural environment, healthcare) produces better outcomes after all?

The tech community loves to mock EU for being lazy or being anti-innovation or anti-business but at the end of the day life in Europe is pretty good. Food is good, its safe, people live healthy long lives - things reserved for the rich in the USA. Community preserving regulations are all over the Europe, which might make the housing markets less dynamic but once you are in you don't easily loose access to your community when your fortune isn't performing.

Being the "old world", Europe has been over this stuff long ago and despite people imagining that bureaucrats of Brussels are making up the regulations, European love for strong government is rooted in past experiences with issues and their solutions.
In a few years competitors to gpt-4-turbo will exist so this sounds like a rather foolish plan.

If you want to call an async function from a sync context, use `futures::executor::block_on`. Nobody is forcing you to use async.
This comment is being undeservedly downvoted.

In-office work has always been an important way to bootstrap your social graph, as are other in-person group activities such as schooling and college. Of course, some people may not like the commute and prefer in-person work, but any choice has tradeoffs, and the tradeoff in this case is that you usually end up knowing very few people other than your spouse and children which leads to loneliness in mid-life.

Relying on school and college friends doesn’t work as they would have also moved on due to other responsibilities and relocated elsewhere, and due to the lack of shared context that is required to rejuvenate said friendships.
I'm not disagreeing. The point I'm trying too make is that humans can't be copied today, yet when AGI arrives, it will be copyable on day one. That difference means that current human morals and ethics may not be very applicable to AGI. The concepts of slavery, freedom, death, birth, and so on might carry very different meanings in a world of easily copyable intelligences.
I wonder which routes were opened by this. Gibraltar ? Tunisia -> Sicilly -> Italy ?

In any case the Levant was always an out.
Also hard when we’ve spread houses out so far that we don’t need to interact with neighbors.
I take "Then decide which ones are worth investing time in" to mean do I have interest in it. If I don't, it's not worth my time.

I think we are just reading this article in different ways, I don't find it so cynical.

I believe I can do something I like, AND it be of economic interest. e.g. I enjoyed being in the early Counter Strike competitive scene, it also ended up giving me some of the most valuable connections I have. The two are not mutually exclusive. Economic benefit != malicious exploitation. Most environments are positive sum not zero sum.

It's interesting to recognize when you are in an "early arena" because the people there are unique and have self-selected for an interesting reason.
Surely you'd want to instead share a link to the logs being investigated so others can investigate concurrently, instead of having 2 backseat drivers observe someone observing logs.
Even with no competition you can’t keep putting prices up unless your customers have the means to pay. Competition didn’t suddenly change, it was the means to pay that did.
Dijkstra's Algorithm required for some LC feels a bit like trivia. Not sure if most people could come up with that on their own.
I'm a conservative living in a very liberal streetcar suburb. I have substantial disagreements with my neighbors politically (one is a trans activist... And I'm a Latin mass attending Catholic). You don't need huge shared cultural experiences. Just an agreement to not antagonize each other and a willingness to partake in shared experiences like block parties, or drinks.

Why is everyone looking for some deep connection with everyone else? It's okay to just be good acquaintances and neighbors. Not everyone is going to be the person to whom you spill your inner most thoughts.

And for when I want to be around like minded people, I just... Walk to my church. There are more church options in cities anyway.. there's just more people. Again, as a Latin mass attending Catholic, I have two solid options within walking distance in my ultra liberal west coast city. Whereas my own more conservative suburb growing up had... None. You'd have to drive hours for that.

At the end of the day a lot of this comes down to people being unwilling to even be around people unlike them.
... no, it's not. They're similar order of magnitude. Nuclear provides about 10% of global electricity, and hydro around 17%. In the US nuclear is about 18% while hydro is around 6%. [1]

Or, we don't surely know what deep nets are doing. If I give you an LLM or AlphaGo, you cannot look at it and tell me what it does. It's a bunch of parameters and edge weights. The counterargument is something like, deep nets are overparameterized and the gradient descent process does not reflect the final result. You would think that the large infinities of correct/incorrect 3D models are impossible to choose from, but in practice some have found emergent structural properties - like board positions, formal grammar fragments, etc. - enough to at least suggest that we don't understand how they work, and that it is a conflation/reductive error to call deep nets the same kernel or statistical machines as before.

The above isn't my own argument, as I'm not an expert. But theoreticians have been looking at this, and the ones posing this counterargument come from outside the ML community/Google/OpenAI so you can't attack this argument for being the wild delusions of ML researchers either. The lectures I watched was by an IAS professor in theoretical computer science, not ML people. Another professor's lecture I started watching has a background in signal theory and probability/statistics, if even he says "we don't know what's going on with deep learning", I tend to give that some credence and update my own uncertainty.

Now, I get your argument in that you are repeating everything Chomsky has said regarding explainability, evolution of human cognition and "truth of the world", statistical machines being fed a corpus of human-understandable information be it Internet text or Go game moves. Chomsky's criticism of ML-based "AI" covers all of this and I don't see your argument as introducing anything different from his (feel free to correct me if I've misread your remarks). I myself actually started on his side, now I'm a little on the fence and can see both sides more clearly.
The investment in optimization in CLR or JVM can be huge as they impact millions of applications. While each C / C++ code will have to be hand optimized.

Also limits on number of people in given time who can write optimal C code vs C# will also make managed code better.
> I've done IF for many years but I don't like how it's like a cult.

The comments and flagging are consistent with that, at least.
Im thinking Libitarianism is perhaps more into "individual freedoms" than conservatism, but there's certainly overlap.

If I had to put a fence around it, I'd suggest the root of conservatism is more "govt working in the interests of the rich/aristocracy/establishment." The "people in power before there was a vote".

Charitably described as "keep things the way they are", or less charitably as "return to when our group had riches and power".

So "labor" is getting govt to work for the masses, "conservative" us getting govt to work for those already established, and libitarianism is scaling govt back, and letting people do whatever they like.

Political parties try and be all things to all men.

In some countries (where there are more than two parties) there's more likely to be different parties to cover these bases.

Well that's what the suburban book of the 50s and onward should have been about. That was the original meaning of suburb.

But yes... Over time, cities tend to grow out. It's easier when the grid is laid out correctly.

Imagine a new housing development ever becoming like one of those neighborhoods ... They can't without being demolished. The entire infrastructure is wrong.
This is a failure of your imagination, not the grass.
Great, maybe they can finally remove its icon from all of our task bars.
They could still use public domain data.
It seems that it wasn't your crowd, nothing necessarily wrong with that.

Lots of fun activities are mostly free or require very little upfront costs. Outdoor activities are an example.

Even just setting up a board game group is generally low cost.

If you're interested in finding like-minded people, you'll find them! Keep it up :)

That is a mistaken view; he's actually talking about liability. The risk of nuclear is smaller than the damage of the status quo, but it is so unexpected that we hold people liable when it materialises.

The damage from coal (not risk because the risk is technically 0 - the bad outcome is guaranteed by design) is substantially greater than the risk of a nuclear disaster. We just don't hold anyone liable for fossil fuel damage because then society would collapse. It is pretty stupid that we don't move to nuclear and highlights the inability of the anti-nuclear crowd to do cost-benefit analysis.
So does Teams, and if you want to 1-1 someone just click their name and the call icon. Add more people with two more clicks. Everyone on the bridge will see you’re on hold in the main call, which prevents people dialing you to rejoin and wasting time.

I find that far more often than not, when someone is lamenting the lack of a feature in communication software, the feature actually exists and they’re just not aware of it.
The NYT posted the (better) article that BI cribbed from 10 days ago: https://www.nytimes.com/article/nova-new-star-t-coronae-bore...
Only the old dot3 does that.
Europe is objectively better for salaried workers who will never have a shot at early retirement (which is prob 90% of the US population)

US is better for business owners and entrepreneurs and maybe the super ambitious
How is one more closed off than the other? Do they come with built-in block lists? How does this difference manifest?
interviewing.io comes up on HN fairly often. Does anyone have experience with them? On the surface it looks nice and might be "just the thing" in this situation, but can anyone pitch in with whether or not there is substance to it?
Least relatable comment on the site. Almost every person I know and love is a big plus to my life. If I could, all my friends and family would live within minutes of me, and they have almost all expressed this to me about me as well.
Fiction is an excellent place to find role models. Fiction characters are literally models of humans. That’s what writers do.

I love Captain Kirk’s leadership style. The author of this post is interpreting Kirk out of context. Within his context, Kirk was fiercely loyal and protective of his crew. He was also a military commander, not a CEO. He was dealing with life and death.

Kirk followed a moral code. Not like modern Christian evangelicals who abandon their code in a lust for domination. Kirk was lawful. His idea of lawfulness did not always mean he followed other people’s rules.

He was modeled on a cultural matrix from 1960 that was imagining a multicultural world of the future. Modern life has drifted from that context. Which is okay. But it’s a fit for me.
There was much more of a sense of community when the government was a lot smaller and the market was much free'er.
That's why they're suing OpenAI, as opposed to ChatGPT.
Personally I would prefer the tool that allows me to choose when updates will be applied, regardless of the level of isolation. It does look like snapd now finally allows automatic updates to be disabled, as of version 2.58 (so Jan 2023), but it always left a really bad taste in my mouth that the ability to control what gets updated and when was kept out of user control for so long.
So what, this isn't the next iphone. Publish the details of the study.

So far this is marketing clickbait. It's about as far from the scientific method as you can get.
Yeah I figured it would. WFH makes sense for established workers. For those new graduates... It's toxic and a huge set back.

I was a hiring manager during COVID... We just stopped hiring new grads. How would we on board them? How would I provide the guidance they needed? Even if my new hires would be in another office, I'd still be able to get someone there to help them in person.

Remote? Good luck. Established engineers have enough issues with that.

“Steam Families are intended to contain your immediate family. As major life events can change who lives in your household, it is understandable that some day you may need to join a new Steam Family. Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.”

I get that this is intended to prevent some form of piracy-adjacent usage, but I've seen disfunctional households where a family member has been kicked out/left multiple times in a year.
First, BMW has thousands of patents. They also have trademarks, copyrights, and trade secret manufacturing processes. Second, if you make a non-BMW you can’t legally sell it as a BMW or you’re committing fraud. Third, most of the reason that people buy luxury brands like BMW is actually because of the cachet that the name has, so even if you could make an identical one in Prussia and call it a PMW, it would be a different and less valuable thing. All of which is a long winded way of saying, BMW are the only ones who can make BMWs. Thus they have a monopoly on making BMWs.

Taking intellectual property out of a conversation about intellectual property has predictably strange and totally irrelevant results. Why is that surprising?
European cultures can seem less smiley-friendly, but also more honest and genuine

we had this discussion a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39006092

as a european i strongly prefer the the american approach. which btw is also found elsewhere in the world.

as an individual who has difficulty making friends i need a lot of opportunity to interact with others before that happens. and a surface-friendly culture just makes that a lot easier. "fake it until you make it" somehow strangely fits here. it helps keep every day interactions friendly, and allows probing for deeper connections.

i lived in the US two decades ago. maybe something changed in that time that i am not aware of.
> We need to start using tax money to build more free public spaces and public transport to get people connected.

All the original public transit projects (including my own streetcar suburb and corresponding streetcar), were privately funded.

What governments need to do is make it clear that they will expedite permits for these projects and not put up roadblocks or attempt to extract profit from the investors.
There are other ways to do this.

I would much rather spend the commute time engaging in local social activities where I live than being forced into a car or public transport for multiple hours a week, just to spend 40 hours in a grey box which is a worse working environment than the one I have at home.

This way you can build stronger local ties, rather than remote ties which are likely to evaporate next time you move job, or even department.

We built a custom permissions DSL at Figma

This is the most foolish and most uneducated response I've read. You're saying nonsense.

Just because we don't have the weapon that causes the issue the issue doesn't exist and is all in their heads?

Get educated about what you're talking about. Watch some interviews of people that have it.

We even know the exact sound the weapon makes.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I bet it had to do with the 'Trump is a Russian agent propaganda' we were all fed for the last 8 years. Probably made people who were actually working for the government in risky positions abroad (i.e. Cuba vs Netherlands) super paranoid and vulnerable. I mean, wasn't it also Rachel Maddow who covered all this Havana Syndrome the most? I truly wonder how many people who had Havana Syndrome were watching MSNBC for hours a day.
I believe newer ESP32 chips are based on the Risc-V microarchitecture.
There were coding competition benchmarks at the time putting javac against the underdeveloped gcc 2.95 of the time. The trick they did with java programs was to allocate a region of memory only once and reuse that whenever they needed more, simulating a stack. Then the programs were benchmarked as hot start and cold start. Hot start timings were used to bench against C++ programs. If the algorithm they used was better, this sometimes resulted in head to head or better performance.
Ok so now a criminal just needs to avoid being detected for an hour and the logs are self wiping. Sounds like a feature they’ll love!
At the local park, which I pass through regularly on my jogging route, simply never has collections of unsupervised kids hanging out doing kid things. In the local greenbelts there are trails, and the only kids ever on the trails are with their parents.

It's not a dangerous area, either.

When I was a kid, we'd go out looking for other kids to play with.

I know there are other kids around here, as the school bus belches them out regularly, but I never see any otherwise.

I suppose they're all at home playing video games and social media.
Just past observations. If you’ve seen it go nova exactly every 80 years odds are it will do it again. Some nova are very regular, others can be unpredictable.
If you understand the law properly you understand you don't need a cookie banner if you don't track your users. But it is easier to not have to understand it and play safe. But then you shouldn't blame the law for making you do no research and play safe.

Most people are copy cats, and if some big websites add cookie banners, they think they also need to do it because these big sites are doing it. And then they blame the law.

If you're not a copy cat and understand your businesses, there is no need to blame the law for making you do something you don't need to.

And yeah, laws can be complicated to understand sometimes. That's with most laws. But that is why we have lawyers. But yeah lawyers are also often copy cats, it seems. At least in tech. So it's always good to keep thinking for yourself too. Don't believe everything other people are telling you. Do some investigation and research yourself. It's also not that hard.
Some of the Youtube audio is so annoying that I quit watching the videos even if they're interesting. Quite prevalent in some of the fishing videos, for instance the ones from the Life on the Bank channel.

Stores? If you want people to get out of your store, sure. Store misic is already beyond annoying.
You're just saying this nonsense because you hate Musk because he's not a democrat anymore. That's where all the hate you have stems from.

With that said, he was given the same opportunity to other democratic leaders and they are on the platform with no issues.

Don was being a complete jerk and wasn't being genuine. Don has always been disingenuous and full of it. Plus everyone thats worked with him at CNN hated him
Very easy to substitute closed loop steppers, if that's the only limitation.
> I think it's fairly uncontroversial that randomized controlled trials are the gold standard.

Software with 99.999999% uptime [0] may be the gold standard, but that's not always practical, and we can benefit from other software too.

If everything with a flaw in the world is useless, then everything in the world is useless, including all these HN comments and whatever you and I do for our livings.

[0] I'm too lazy to actually imagine what the gold standard for software development is, sorry.
Given the regular stories posted on HN about folks who've had some aspect of their social or other media canceled by any some SaaS company, are these companies having many (legal) qualms as it is about canceling people without providing a good reason for it? Would be nice if they did, though...
If you need everyone working an incident physically around the same table in order to respond effectively, your organization is not equipped to respond effectively to incidents in general.

I'm speaking as someone who worked full time doing nothing but incident management at a F500 for a couple of years before the pandemic. The incident team for literally every single response I ran in that time was effectively remote; most weren't in the same building as me, probably weren't in the same time zone as me, and it wasn't unusual for them to be on a different hemisphere entirely.

Physical proximity to one another has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to work an incident. Effective communication is vital, but this isn't uncharted territory. Large organizations have been doing this effectively for a very long time before the entire in office/remote debate ever became a popular controversy.
Misleading title, I wonder if all the speculators read the details?

I don't get why it's written like all of Europe is the same?

One thing I found supremely helpful in my varied experiences was having an engineer step up to be the single voice who starts running things and coordinating.

Some companies have a NOC or support person run calls, but they often feel nervous and just ask sheepishly for updates.

Having a principal or eng manager run the call gives it a different, more commanding feel. They better understand the system and start calling people and teams by name. They also aren't talked down to or snapped at like people tend to do with support people, sadly.
I remember that one too, but this one was not just the hot memory trick, which seems relatively easy. It was entirely JIT based, where the JIT happened to pick a better path than gcc.
summarized we might reach an age of even more abundance and leisure like Paradise before things turning to hell. I think even Sama said something similar
Buses can be problematic if you're not used to landmarks. Train will be around $15 (there is an airport surcharge). I'd pay a few more dollars (the actual rate, not the ripoff rate) for point-to-point too as a local if I had more than 1 bag.
The explanation isn’t good but they aren’t talking about a normal supernova here, it’s a recurring one that I too never heard about earlier.
First Intel and then AMD funded a wrapper, yes. Unfortunately the new version supports AMD but no longer Intel.

That's a binary level wrapper. Of course there's also ROCm HIP at the source level, and many other things, such as SYCL
