I can probably (and had many times - in a few months) train someone to write ruby,js code that compiles and even achieves few simple real world like goals.

But this is ~15-20 years far away from my job and ~1 year far away from a job that would be useful for real company.
As a thought experiment, playing devil's advocate in a way, suppose the boss tries to be reasonable and ends up telling the developer "you make a good point, and I would support it, but my hands are tied because x." Presumably there is some value of x here that, while terrible for UX/a11y, actually exists in some fashion when it comes to using the clipboard for passwords. Maybe the fact that all apps can arbitrarily read from the clipboard, and people tend to be too lazy to copy a non-secret to the clipboard between pasting a secret and opening a sketchy app? Recent versions of Android toss up a toast notification saying something like "<app> has pasted from the clipboard" when an app does so, and I've seen it for no apparent reason in some apps -- usually apps associated with IoT junk, but sometimes even apps that ought to be reputable.

I'm not normally a fan of ecosystem lock-in, but using Google products as my password manager, browser, and mobile OS means I very rarely have to use my clipboard for passwords, which is a good feeling. Unlike a third-party password manager with a great browser extension could offer, this ensures seamless autofill with most mobile apps nowadays, too.

No, I don't think it is, a friend of mine got one recently and I could only just barely hear the squeal, and I suspect that in another year or two I won't hear it at all.

Still, I don't miss it, I never really liked it. People love to crap on LCD TVs, but honestly I'm an unapologetic fan of them. Even pretty cheap LCD TVs nowadays are really decent [1], and give a really sharp, nice picture with very few downsides. I have a MiSTer plugged into my $400 Vizio in my bedroom plugged in via HDMI, and SNES games just look so much better on it than they ever did on my CRT as a kid.

[1] Except for the speakers. Somehow built in speakers have gotten way worse than they were in the 90s, and TVs are borderline unusable without a soundbar or something.

The "loser pays" was a wedge issue to see if the guy would be honest about his intentions.

In a lot of these negotiations you have to use what you know about the actual party to decide what to ask for and how to behave. In this case, they knew that the VC was well known for pushing his technical partner out of the company using a lawsuit when the R&D timeline inevitably slipped, and then taking over the company. When you know that about someone you make it a wedge issue -- are you going to do that to me? And if you say that's not your intention, then why don't you feel secure giving me more protection in the contract?

If it wasn't about lawsuits but about something else like terms or board seats they would've used a different test. But they were negotiating with a person, not an abstract concept, and that's why they went the direction they did.

Not quite a layman's explanation, but if you're familiar with the implementation(s) of vanilla decoder only transformers, mixture-of-experts is just a small extension.

During inference, instead of a single MLP in each transformer layer, MoEs have `n` MLPs and a single layer "gate" in each transformer layer. In the forward pass, softmax of the gate's output is used to pick the top `k` (where k is < n) MLPs to use. The relevant code snippet in the HF transformers implementation is very readable IMO, and only about 40 lines.

I'm guessing that "at the window" used in describing Klay throwing up bricks ("the window" being a euphemism for the backboard)?

Yes, work days while you're present in California are California source income. The California Franchise Tax Board has suggestions for how to apportion your employment compensation if it's not clearly obvious from hours etc.

I had thought there was a de minimis rule, so you need not report for a small number of days and a small income, but formalization of that policy was only proposed, not passed.
I prefer to just maintain a healthy skepticism. After all, even if I'm getting an honest opinion, it doesn't mean my needs and preferences are the same as the reviewer's.

This one is partially nonsense too. Here's a snippet that starts talking about super() and then abruptly switches to string templates.

> These include statements before super(…), which would give developers greater freedom in expressing constructor behavior – meaning string templates. This would make it easy to express strings that include values computed at run time – meaning scoped values. This would enable sharing of immutable data within and across threads; and implicitly declared classes and instance main methods.

I don't know if Google Glass really fits in with the rest of that list. That wasn't some overfunded VC startup that ended up releasing a bad, overhyped product. It was essentially a side-project from Google.

The same happened to image recognition. We have great algorithms for many years now. You can't make a company out of having the best image recognition algorithm, but you absolutely can make a company out of a device that spots defects in the paintjob in a car factory, or that spots concrete cracks in the tunnel segments used by a tunnel boring machine, or by building a wildlife camera that counts wildlife and exports that to a central website. All of them just fine-tune existing algorithms, but the value delivered is vastly different.

Or you can continue selling shovels. Still lots of expensive labeling services out there, to stay in the image-recognition parallel

No prior programming or domain knowledge? Absolutely not. Even good programmers take months to become productive in my team due to how obscure the knowledge that is required. You have to lean piles of stuff you would otherwise not have learned, on top of what a programmer in our "general area of knowledge" is expected to have.
It was mostly tongue-in-cheek, just to offer a different perspective. But since you ask, how should we employ our capacity to care? On fleeting comfort, or grand visions?

We could be the "bacterial" precursor of an amazing new stage of evolution.
"People would even be happy paying a bit more if it were beneficial for the environment." this triggered me because i had the discussion (as i wrote in my prev comment) with 5 people in their 50s and they found it funny when i said that even if the solar panels on the roof wouldn't help us directly, at least we would save co2 (my frustration with that group of people is high)

> im assuming you live in SF or something, which means you need to understand you are a complete and total outlier to begin with.

No, this is true almost everywhere. Wages are low in comparison to housing cost. If the poster was living and working where houses are cheaper than SF, then his salary would also be lower and he would still be limited to bottom tier housing on his income.

The only way possible right now is to own real estate by inheritance or by having been born earlier to get in before those people who decided to be born later. Either that or you have to find a way to get your income from somewhere different to where you live, so that you can afford property. With WFH normalised I'm predicting massive migration waves as the younger generations from expensive towns, cities and countries move away to where they can afford to live.

It concerns me that this is being labeled as anti-semitism.

> At an Amazon shareholder meeting in May, anti-Nimbus Amazon employees said they will support a resolution requesting a third-party investigative report on whether “customers’ use of its products and services with surveillance, computer vision, or cloud storage capabilities contributes to human rights violations or violates international humanitarian law.”

That seems like a fairly basic request?

It seems like in a lot of areas, in the last 6 months we can't even have a conversation about what is going on without anything except 100% support for Israel being labeled as "anti-semitism" which is really dangerous to do.

We don't even expect that level of blanket support for the actions of our own government. We should be able to critically look at what is going on regardless of who is doing it without trying to hand wave it away with a single word.

"Tail latency has improved by YMMV for everything else" => yes, I think that's a valid (but conservative) read. Of course, in many (most?) applications, tail latency is very important. Tail latency also tends to be the thing that optimizer engineers target (i.e., reduce the runtime of the longest running query).

> It’s not a moral dilemma.

Perhaps it wasn't clearly articulated, but I see some moral dilemmas here.

1) Competing goods: obeying the law (civic virtue; collectivism) vs. personal happiness (hedonism; individualism).

2) Competing concepts of civic virtue regarding laws that won't be enforced: Is it better to (a) vigorously oppose such systems, because e.g. they lay the groundwork for tyranny, or (b) accept that some enforcement sloppiness is beneficial for various reasons, and should therefore be accepted?
If a job can be learned in a month to a degree where the learner is now proficient in it, then the barrier to entry is low and the job is either repetitive in nature or has a very low expectations bar (e.g. for junior roles). I highly doubt that's the case for most folks on HN. This is a field where experience can't be entirely replaced with diligent study (doubly true for management roles).
OK, but I've heard a bear expert or 2 (on Youtube) say that it will increase the probability that a bear will attack you if you bring a dog with you.
If we are to forgive some amount of debt, wouldn't housing mortgage forgiveness be more beneficial? It is not a good situation either, but I think we at least agree that we want people to continue to have homes.

We do not want people to continue wasting their time in college. That itself is a huge drag on society. There needs to be some kind of 'punishment' to scare off future would-be students. "Oh, go on have your fun in your youth and we will all help you pay for it later" doesn't exactly send the right message.

PSLF isn't really loan forgiveness in the traditional sense. It is an employer providing compensation to workers for a quality that is deemed beneficial to the work being done. All employers are free to do this, and do so where such a benefit is recognized.
And yet we let the churches and cults roam free and hide the abuses of their leadership.

> For example, we have the PSLF for borrowers who work in service careers. Maybe we don't need blanket loan forgives, but should simplify and beef-up PSLF.

PLSF is indeed a great example. It has well defined terms and people arguably know what they're getting into when they sign up for public service employment (with the intention to defer their loans).

I'm pretty strongly opposed to anything new though. The only thing I might get behind is a uniform policy that simply hands out cash to everybody regardless of incomes or loan status. If people have loans, don't even give them the cash, just pay off that slice of their loans. If there's no loans, they get the cash. No income games either. The only possible qualifications would be whether you're employed (which means the IRS already has a tax id).

If we're going to make all of us poorer through inflation by printing money, might as well distribute it fairly. At least in that situation the kid that went to trade school and doesn't have loan debt gets the cash.

When has Elon said that the failures are the faults of his employees? Hell, he seldom claims that it's his success. Every Starship test flight he's congratulated the team for a job well done.

You can’t use tech to solve a legal issue like this because you’re either breaking a law, or just kicking the problem a few years into the future, waiting for a new law that takes your tech into consideration. The best response is to fight it hard at the public opinion level, and then the legislation becomes untenable

But if that fails, tech workarounds might be a lot better than nothing
None of them have taken off because the UX sucks. Say what you will about open source development, Tor, P2P, IPFS, etc, it's an amazing achievement, but without great design and UX it will never take off. It needs to work cross platform, be designed beautifully, be consistent in speed, responsiveness, etc; have support and documentation; guaranteed uptime; work cross-device; integrate with modern services, etc etc.

A long tail of features that users care about. Devs will ship 1/10th of the total package as free, open source and scratch their heads at why the users don't come to enjoy the freedom. As Steve Jobs said, "Design is how it works." And most of these solutions don't work for the average user.
