Just out of curiosity, what was the reason for the MIT -> Apache 2 move? https://github.com/quarylabs/quary/commit/db7a42a58ce66df13f...
I would like to think it's also partly a message that this move isn't about profit seeking. British companies do not have legal duty to maximise their profit. NYSE investors might not appreciate this foreign idea.
You don't need to cover every use case. You just need to document what stuff does and how it affects to various workloads. A good engineer can from that information infer what they need for their workload. But not documenting that a control exists so that you can be bill you for consulting puts you in my "will not use" category.
This sort of design was a style back in the late 90s when everyone was just getting the hang of HTML and using nested tables before CSS was invented & started becoming popular, and anything besides text/hyperlinks and images was pretty risky to include since browsers hadn't yet evolved to support a standard set of features.

Wow! By the time I arrived, Hinton was gone. As well as many great professors that started their own companies or were poached by big players (i.e. Sanja-Nvidia). At least I got to learn NN from Jimmy Ba (author of Adam). Now, he's working at xAI.
What part of per capita are you not getting?
Yeah but why aren't there more boards with a built in coprocessor like that given how cheap they are now? Iirc only Lattepanda and the Pi Foundation make these sort of boards, and the former is overpriced beyond any common sense.
Realistically its all just probabilistic word generation. People "feel" like an LLM understands them but it doesn't, its just guessing the next token. You could say all our brains are doing are just guessing the next token but thats a little too deep for this morning

All these companies are doing now is taking an existing inferencing engine, making it 3% faster, 3% more accurate, etc. per quarter, fighting over the $20/month users

One can imagine product is now taking the wheel from engineering and are building ideas on how to monetize the existing engine. Thats essentially what GPT-4o is, and who knows what else is in the 1,2,3 year roadmaps for any of these $20 companies

To reach true AGI we need to get past guessing, and that doesn't seem close at all. Even if one of these companies gets better at making you "feel" like its understanding and not guessing, if it isnt actually happening, its not a breakthrough

Now with product leading the way, its really interesting to see where these engineers head

Job requirements for scrum master positions?
Hello there! I'm not entirely sure if this is the appropriate forum to ask, but I am looking to move my tech career into a scrum master/agile type position. I have 5 years of experience in a variety of roles, starting as a support analyst and now working as a systems engineer. I have been looking at the SAFe agile certifications, and am planning to sign up for the basic certification, plus additional courses past that.

My question is this: is saas job experience + SAFe certifications a reasonable foundation to apply for scrum master positions? Is SAFe a good place to start, or is there some other organization that provides a considerable advantage in the job market?
sure. we may have to chose whether or not plastics should be biodegradable. Cant have your cake and eat it, too.

It's not just about keeping costs down, but also about increasing quality of life. If you detect a benign cancer in someone, and they then go on to receive chemotherapy, you've massively decreased that person's quality of life for a significant period with no upside.

> just trying to make a product that people want to use?

Sure, but you can do that ethically or unethically.

If you make a product that's harmful, disincentivizes healthy behavior (like getting therapy), or becomes addictive, then you've crossed into something unethical.

> Even Tobacco companies don't go out of their way to give people cancer.

This is like saying pool companies don't go out of their way to get people wet.

While it isn't their primary goal, the use of tobacco causes cancer, so their behavior (promoting addiction among children, burying medical research, publishing false research, lobbying against regulation) are all in service of ultimately giving cancer to more people.

Cancer and cigarettes are inseparable, the same way casinos and gambling addiction are inseparable.
Yeah. I just don't see how they could possibly grow in a way that satisfies the stock market. The only way to create an appearance of such growth is to go Boeing and essentially burn down the house for warmth. For an organization like this, it's basically always step one on an irreversible death spiral.

It's a frequent sentiment on HN that "Amazon is a bad place to work" and I think they are talking about blue collars. I've me many white collar Amazonians (say AWS envangelist Jeff Barr, and a robotics engineer I know, and a relative who works as an accountant) who would probably say AMZN is the best place they've ever worked.

I think the HN audience is more diverse than people think. The average HNer is not in Silicon Valley for instance.
That's not really a problem as long as the source license stays the same. If Amazon or Microsoft need a feature in the kernel, nobody tends to care as long as it's GPL.

> Those companies are merely helping to “commoditize their complements”

That's how they justify it internally, yeah. From an administrative standpoint it's pretty obvious that they all choose Linux because it's easier than retrofitting proprietary UNIX for modern software. But indeed, they market it as goodwill and complimentary development.
> What's the risk here? That if the NYSE establishes a monopoly, it could extract a 0.5% tax on every trade?

Whilst shares may be listed on the NYSE, they don't have to trade there - there's a number of alternative exchanges/ECNs/books/pools/brokers that will happily buy and sell NYSE listed shares cheaper/quicker than NYSE.

I'm a slammer developer in a similar boat, and while I still think the 15% SPP fee is too high, it's not what really bothers me about being in the App Store.

It's the Kafkaesque app review process and the inversion of power between platform holders and third-party developers.

I remember a time when I sold my software directly to users over the web. It certainly didn't cost me 15% of my revenue to process payments and refunds, but I'm actually fine paying Apple a few extra percent to cake care of that internationally.

Back in those days, the prevailing wisdom was that platforms competed for third-party devs in order to make their platforms useful for their users and increase market share. If you read the arguments around the new EU rules for platforms, there's a lot of talk about the platform holders' "rights" to "monetize their IP" or similar language. Apple says it. Google says it. Gruber and other influencers parrot it. I hate it.

Developing the OS isn't free, but the revenue from end users more than pays for it. Developing the developer tools isn't free, but the $99/year revenue from developers more than pays for it. Combined, they probably more than pay for development and hosting of the App Store.

I get that Apple has no shortage of people wanting to develop for their platform, so they don't need to compete for third-party developers anymore. I don't like it, but I understand it.

I just wish they wouldn't try to rent-seek on top of it. I wish app review weren't so complicated, self-serving, inconsistent, and useless. Apple likes to publish statistics on how many fraud apps they keep off the App Store, but in my opinion, it still has far too much trash and scam apps to argue that app review works well for anyone but Apple.

When I see the prices of some of that testing, I know that that cannot be the reason, and indeed, establishing personal baselines by regular testing can only be helpful. The aversion to it grounded on taking some average patient, I am convinced.

I really wish there was more transparency, because test aversion is exactly the same protocol you'd invent if you were trying to save money. I want to be able to see which of the two we're dealing with.
> Yes, but I move that Cook wouldn't recognize what product to polish to Apple standards even if it hit him on the head...

That's an interesting take on the man who brought the Apple Watch to market and oversaw the development of Apple Silicon. While Steve Jobs certainly brought the iPad to market, it has been under Tim Cook's leadership that it has evolved into what it is today.

Tim Cook understands hardware and he understand markets. What I'd argue that has suffered under his leadership is software. Sure, the OSs are doing fine, despite what you think, but tools like iWork, iLife, Logic Pro, and Final Cut Pro have been lagging and their cloud strategy appears to be haphazard. But hardware? Tim Cook is all over that!
That's a surprising statistic. I quite literally don't know one single person who owns both a Mac and iPad.

A little context for anyone not familiar with Australia's financial sector: a superannuation fund (or 'super', colloquially) is the equivalent of a private pension in the UK or a 501(k) in the US. Employers are legally required to make payments into an employee's nominated super fund; employers may choose a super fund on behalf of the employee (to make administration easier) but better employers allow employees to freely choose their fund.

Superannuation funds are often industry-aligned, and some are managed by trade unions. UniSuper is the industry super fund for the university sector.

EDIT: As others below have pointed out, yes, I meant a 401(k).

I of course agree that LSD won't put you in a coffin. But there are more axes upon which a drug's danger should be evaluated than "what percentage of users are put in coffins?"

While keeping around employees with a consistent negative value is not a smart business move, over the long term those employees might have an overall positive value. Companies like Amazon love to whine and complain, along with demanding political solutions, to their labor acquisition issues that often are due to a desire to put short term finances ahead of long-term planning. It's also a sign of refusing to invest in people, demanding that the labor market magically conjure up any desired type of labor at the moment the company wants it.

>put me in porn of your choosing.

Oh, I see the confusion. We're talking about synthetic images in this discussion. We're not talking about actual explicit photos or video of someone. So in this scenario "you" wouldn't be involved at all.

Although it has been long established that using actual photos and swapping faces, etc, is perfectly legal. Just because the tools are slightly faster than photoshop does not make this a new thing. if anything, the fact that no actual photos are involved makes deepfakes even less objectionable and clearly not victimizing anyone.

Technical ignorance, willful or accidental, is no excuse for advocating these extreme viewpoints in which you demand use of force against actual human people in situations where no one is harmed. Calls for organized violence like this are not acceptable.
They don't attempt to measure it, but they do teach approaches like "unconditional positive regard" and other techniques that allow a practitioner to demonstrate (or at least seem to demonstrate) a higher level of emotional intelligence.

> I think public traffic is much more similar to cable TV with its fixed schedule than a car that mirrors on-demand streaming. This is why in truth few people like to use public traffic if there is another feasible choice.

Public transport doesn't work if it's not somewhat punctual and high traffic, meaning it needs to be reliable and run often, not like those "commuter" trains around North America running only mornings/afternoons schedules, or having a train departing every 1-2 hours.

I'm originally from a country where you are almost 100% dependent on a car, moved to a place where I simply do not need a car unless I need to move houses and for that I can just rent a van for 4h-24h on the cheap. I wouldn't choose being dependent on a car to do my daily chores ever again, I much prefer taking the metro, train, bus, or my bike rather than dealing with all the headaches car ownership brings.

> Stable couples are good for society

But a couple where divorce is not a legal option is not a "stable couple", so you're effectively arguing against a strawman.

Here's what usually happens when divorce is not legally allowed:

1- The divorce happens in practice, with people splitting and/or taking lovers. Is this "stable" in your opinion?

2- The divorce doesn't happen even in practice, and either the man, the woman, or both, are stuck in a loveless, unhappy marriage that also causes harm to their children. I know you don't consider this "stable" so I won't even ask.

3- The divorce doesn't happen and the couple eventually makes up and manages to make it work.

You're betting everything on option 3, but it doesn't seem to happen all that often. Most common are options 1 & 2.

In other words: divorce only gives a legal option for problems that exist in couples since the dawn of time. Taking divorce away doesn't make those problems go away, it only makes people unhappy and/or they go about their way in illegal ways.
