I was a Windows fan for years (going back to the 1990s) but switched over MacOS a few years and much prefer it, despite the occasional annoyances. I have also been using Linux since the very first release, but I like a GUI and the desktop experience on Linux has always felt rather fragmented and incoherent.

In the past a lot of options would expire if you didn’t exercise them within eg. 90 days of leaving. And exercising could be really expensive.

Luckily, anything worthwhile originally posted on X tends to surface on the open web after a while anyway. And most of the times, the value of xitter threads is entirely in external links anyway.

Yes, but brutalism is anything but beautiful. It wouldn't make sense in an article showcasing cathedrals and statues to then say "here's a concrete eyesore that looks as if the concept of fascist bureaucracy manifested as a machine that feeds on human souls."
Exactly. There’s no ethical way to gain ownership of a billion dollars (there’s likely some dollar threshold way less than 1B where p(ethical_gains) can be approximated to 0)

'Quantum discord'

From https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=39954180 and [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_discord :

> FWIU, there are various types of quantum entropy; entanglement and non-entanglement entropy. Quantum discord [2]:

>> In quantum information theory, quantum discord is a measure of nonclassical correlations between two subsystems of a quantum system. It includes correlations that are due to quantum physical effects but do not necessarily involve quantum entanglement.

'Nonquantum entanglement'

From https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=40302396 :

> "Nonquantum Entanglement Resolves a Basic Issue in Polarization Optics"

'Multi-particle entanglement'

From https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=40281756 :

> "Designing three-way entangled and nonlocal two-way entangled single particle states via alternate quantum walks" (2024) https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.05080 :

>> Herein, we generate three-way entanglement from an initially separable state involving three degrees of freedom of a quantum particle, which evolves via a 2D alternate quantum walk employing a resource-saving single-qubit coin. We achieve maximum possible values for the three-way entanglement quantified by the π-tangle between the three degrees of freedom. We also generate optimal two-way nonlocal entanglement, quantified by the negativity between the nonlocal position degrees of freedom of the particle. This prepared architecture using quantum walks can be experimentally realized with a photon.

Isn't there more total entropy if there is n-way entanglement?

Same as in the US then, incorrect headline and so far it's not about whether wetware or software invented but whether someone insists on listing software as the inventor on the paperwork.
They overlayed the edges of the video frames on the QR codes, and then the built in error correction compensates for the missing data. It's explained in the paper.
I agree with you but Expedia was the best game in town where I was at the time, and while the company left a lot to be desired, my individual team was the best I've ever worked with. But yeah in a perfect world toxic leadership and companies that run mostly on just decades old momentum wouldn't be the norm.
You mean, it’s journalism?
Contracts like this seem extremely unusual as a condition for _retaining already vested equity (or equity-like instruments)_, rather than as a condition for receiving additional severance. And how common are non-disclosure clauses that cover the non-disparagement clauses?

In fact both of those seem quite bad, both by regular industry standards, and even moreso as applied to OpenAI's specific situation.

> What's the consideration for this contract?

Consideration is almost meaningless as an obstacle here. They can give the other party a peppercorn, and that would be enough to count as consideration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppercorn_(law)

There might be other legal challenges here, but 'consideration' is unlikely to be one of them. Unless OpenAI has idiots for lawyers.
Because that won’t be cheaper. Yes shipping statues is expensive, but setting up an impromptu workshop in your garden then tearing it down only after one cast is going to cost even more.
A monad is just a fancy name for a design pattern in functional programing that manages side effects so you can write what looks like imperative code but that does some other stuff behind the scenes, eg, logging, async, exception handling.

They only make sense in a functional language that has support for “type wrappers”, eg, Result, Option, or custom made types like a ResultWriter.

The gist is you define a bind function that takes two arguments (a white lie), the first one of those “wrapped values” and the second a “function that takes an unwrapped value, does something, and returns a wrapped value”, and then the bind function “unwraps the value from the first arg and calls the second arg with that unwrapped value”.

This lets you chain together these “functions that take a value, does something, and then returns a wrapped value” and if you can define an infix operator it makes for for legible code that’s easy to read and modify. It looks even better in F#’s computation expression syntactic sugar.

Of course I am now going to try to explain this better with Yet Another Monad Tutorial to torture the internet with…
This isn't about pettiness or thin skin. And it's not about mean words. It's about potential valid, corroborated criticism of misconduct.

Sure - but isn't this a little like comparing manual wiretapping to dragnet? (Or comparing dragnet to ubiquitous scrape-and-store systems like those employed by five-eyes?)

My day job is optimization for logistics and multi-agent systems on edge deployments. We vary between heterogenous compute environment on-platform and occasional connections to cloud-like servers, but only occasionally. The system has a lot to do and we're pushing what it can do for itself.

I like these problems and am always trying to find new ways to solve them. That's really it, I'm wondering if it's best to focus on learning to work the hardware as is, or learning to twist existing libraries into new problems.

For example if you look at this: https://weightythoughts.com/p/cuda-is-still-a-giant-moat-for...

It actually denigrates anyone who would consider starting at low level CUDA kernels. I liked your message though, you had a great point: what do I imagine all those CUDA programmers do if not write CUDA?

"Reversibility of quantum resources through probabilistic protocols" (2024) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-47243-2 :

> Abstract: Among the most fundamental questions in the manipulation of quantum resources such as entanglement is the possibility of reversibly transforming all resource states. The key consequence of this would be the identification of a unique entropic resource measure that exactly quantifies the limits of achievable transformation rates. Remarkably, previous results claimed that such asymptotic reversibility holds true in very general settings; however, recently those findings have been found to be incomplete, casting doubt on the conjecture. Here we show that it is indeed possible to reversibly interconvert all states in general quantum resource theories, as long as one allows protocols that may only succeed probabilistically. Although such transformations have some chance of failure, we show that their success probability can be ensured to be bounded away from zero, even in the asymptotic limit of infinitely many manipulated copies. As in previously conjectured approaches, the achievability here is realised through operations that are asymptotically resource non-generating, and we show that this choice is optimal: smaller sets of transformations cannot lead to reversibility. Our methods are based on connecting the transformation rates under probabilistic protocols with strong converse rates for deterministic transformations, which we strengthen into an exact equivalence in the case of entanglement distillation.

Does Expedia have a lot of contract work force or offshoring presence? Maybe, kickbacks between these execs and such offshoring companies/staffing companies could be one reason.
The predominant outlook about the future isn't positive in America anymore. The difference starts and ends with attitude. Americans cannot compete because excellence and pride of work and community are gone, pay is low for most people, politics are extremely divided, and most Americans keep to themselves and don't care about anyone else.

China wins just on attitude and growth, but also has the "cheat code" of authoritarianism where anything can be imposed top-down without much push back.

Every program I've run under Wine has read/write access to any directory you own. AFAIK the only way to containerize Wine is via OS-level LXC/Jails/etc, but under X11 that still leaves the GUI wide open unless you have your own X11 stack in the container and run remote desktop or something (which is possible! You can even use VirGL for 3D accel.) Not sure about Wayland, probably still a good idea to have an isolated stack.

It'd be cool if they made that easier to do via Wine itself, but that's probably a bit out of scope.

Sounds like this is a different report of something I've seen elsewhere that actually makes a lot of sense.

Drones equipped with some need-it-right-now type equipment that can be flown to a caller. AED and tourniquet come to mind as items in the load but there was more.

I can also see value in tense situations as drones come equipped with one of the most powerful weapons known to man: a camera. Sure, the bad guy can probably escape from the drone, but while he's doing that he's not hurting anybody.
Sounds like retaliation to me.
You can interpret text as being uncalm, but there's always room for misunderstanding, esp in a forum/thread. Nobody is actually upset I think, just using direct language.
Making a Silicone Mold and Concrete Casting
I have some experience with rich people who think they can just put whatever they want in contracts and then stare at you until you sign it because you are physically dependent on eating food every day.

Turns out they're right, they can put whatever they want in a contract. And again, they are correct that their wage slaves will 99.99% of the time sign whatever paper he pushes in front of them while saying "as a condition of your continued employment, [...]".

But also it turns out that just because you signed something doesn't mean that's it. My friends (all of us young twenty-something software engineers much more familiar with transaction isolation semantics than with contract law) consulted with an attorney.

The TLDR is that:

- nothing in contract law is in perpetuity

- there MUST be consideration for each side (where "consideration" means getting something. something real. like USD. "continued employment" is not consideration.)

- if nothing is perpetual, then how long can it last supposing both sides do get ongoing consideration from it? the answer is, the judge will figure it out.

- and when it comes to employers and employees, the employee had damn well better be getting a good deal out of it, especially if you are trying to prevent the employee (or ex-employee) from working.

A common pattern ended up emerging: our employer would put something perpetual in the contract, and offer no consideration. Our attorney would tell us this isn't even a valid contract and not to worry about it. Employer would offer an employee some nominal amount of USD in severance and put something in perpetuity into the contract. Our attorney tells us the judge would likely use "blue ink rule" to add in "for a period of one year", or, it would be prorated based on the amount of money they were given relative to their former salary.

(I don't work there anymore, naturally).

The invention of the steel core made the stone facade unnecessary to support the building, so most new buildings are covered in glass instead of stone. That's related to less ornamentation, but to me that's the big distinction between beautiful old buildings and ugly new ones.

It also created a tremendous energy efficiency issue. Stone has much higher thermal mass than glass.

Story said the fraud was committed over ten years, so you could imagine a more reasonable $4MM/year. Although, usually these schemes get caught because the perpetrator starts small and keeps amping up the score. Below highlight said that individual purchases were kept below some of the reporting requirements.

She would break up the fraudulent purchases into orders that were below $10,000 each so that she wouldn't need to get additional approval from school officials.

Not according to the actual article that you're commenting on, either.

"As the researchers added more layers and parameters to the neural network, the results improved and the training process eventually yielded a solution that reached near-perfect accuracy."

(-)’s about programming
I’m new to this group, and interested in becoming a programmer. I get discouraged pretty easy and I want to know what to expect when starting out. What are some really tedious or tendencious things about programming? What makes the job easier? Is there something that could be made simpler that’s widely known but is just tolerated? Aside from the obvious, getting started.

it's not the concrete that makes brutalism ugly, but the lack of ornamentation.

i didn't mean that the article should showcase brutalist examples, but where it talks about more modern architecture using less and less ornamentation, brutalism is the worst outgrowth of that, so i thought it would make sense to at least mention that.
