Not a fan or a user of Workplace but I do not understand the reason of shutting it down to external customers if it is going to be used internally for Meta workers anyways? I mean Meta can keep it available if customers want to use it without doing massive marketing, sales or support. Can someone help explain what kind of cost savings Meta can have by shutting it down for external customers?
> To be clear, you're comparing a protest movement across thousands of campuses and millions of students to one spanning tens and thousands, respectively.

No we're talking thousands of campuses. Here's a map if you'd like: https://www.palestineiseverywhere.com/

Duke is walking out. UCLA got attacked by counter protestors. UT Austin's in the news for police brutality against students. There are active encampments in Stanford, ALL of the UCs, Cal Poly, all of the ivy league schools. As of May 11 there was an estimated 2,900 arrests across 57 campuses.

Go to your nearest university and you're sure pressed to at least find stickers or artwork if not an active encampment. Sorry to say, but you're out of touch
Reminds me of how the Pueblo leader Popé distributed ropes with knots tied in them to various groups across the region to coordinate his attack. Every day each group would untie one knot in their rope, and when all the knots were untied they were to attack the Spanish.
Ask HN: How to not get steamrolled by OpenAI?
If you're building a startup on top of the OpenAI (GPT-4) platform, how do you know your idea won't be made redundant by advances in the core GPT model itself?

For example: the recent voice/conversational AI feature included with the GPT-4o release completely steamrolls 100s of startups working on enabling and improving voice conversations with AI.

So how do you know that any idea built on top of OpenAI is future-proof and actually adds value, and IF the goal of OpenAI is to literally create AGI, doesn't this mean all software is redundant?
Kind of interesting how Magritte was such a contrast as a well mannered gentleman who just happened to confront reality with his works.
I really liked this product (used when working at Meta). What I found interesting is that it's very similar to Facebook, but it optimizes for the opposite values. While Facebook newsfeed seems to try to maximize your time scrolling, watching ads, clicking, useless notifications; Workplace was continuously suggesting changes to maximize productivity, such as "you have not interacted with this type of notifications, stop receiving them" or "this group doesn't seem interesting to you, unfollow group" or even "set a productivity block to stop receiving notifications".

Same company, probably same underlying codebase and structure, but opposite reward optimization for showing items in the news feed and maximize productivity/time spend on feed.
Worse, it's actively worse VMware on Windows vs Hyper-V.

If the AI is used after the randomization, I guess we will see a lot of artificial-p-hacking.

Three guys stuck on a desert island stumble across a magic genie, who agrees to grant them each one wish.

The second man wishes to be in Vegas with lots of money, his wish is granted.

The third man says "I'm really lonely now... I wish those guys were back here with me"
This one is worth watching.

The AI race to zero is accelerating and thousands of startups have been steam-rolled before they could even reach the market and VCs.

Even if they survive this, by the time they have reached VCs for funding, they will finish them off by explaining that they won’t pay for their product when the best AI tools are there for free or close to free.

If checkmates actually said ‘checkmate’ on them you’d be able to find them once the Google bot has indexed the whole site.

Ideally every page needs to include a string summarizing every preceding board state leading up to it, so you can search for a current board state plus ‘checkmate white’ to find every possible way to win from a given board state.

Then all that remains to turn Google into the ultimate chess oracle is to persuade your opponent to make all the moves you found.

I think this shows something more important: we are not hardware limited. There's no reason someone could not have implemented this 40 years ago. Our hardware is way beyond our research.

I didn't know how to create a general intelligence, but however it's done will probably be something an undergrad could implement in a week using a desktop computer in 2024.
Do you genuinely think that reflects most people’s views about work life?
What is the "AI" part of this...?
No. The English terms "earlier" and "later" refer to the progression of time from the past (earlier) towards the present and future (later); they do not refer to the number itself being larger except incidentally. (The etymologies here are that "earlier" comes from "ere" meaning "before" or "soon", "later" comes from various "lat-" roots meaning "sluggish" or "lazy" hence starting after their appointed time.)

So for example the Wikipedia article on Hellenistic Palestine contains the opening line,

> The region came first under Ptolemaic rule beginning in the late 4th century BCE with Ptolemy I Soter, followed by Seleucid rule beginning in the early 2nd century BCE with Antiochus III the Great.

It then clarifies that the events of the late 4th century BCE include events in ~320 BCE, and that the early 2nd century stuff happened in ~198 BCE. This is a standard usage of those terms "early" and "late" as applied to those centuries, the 4th (400 BCE - 301 BCE) and 2nd (200 BCE - 101 BCE).
Hopefully there's some decently performing AMD64 emulation available on linux, and it doesn't end up exclusive to windows. It's not as necessary as it is on most other OSs, bit it'd help pull along any random bits that don't have native binaries.
> we're talking thousands of campuses

Where are you seeing thousands? It's hundreds globally per your source. The Vietnam War protests were thousands in the country, and that's not by counting stickers but mass protests and campus-wide shutdowns.

> As of May 11 there was an estimated 2,900 arrests across 57 campuses

Yes, thousands and tens. That's a big deal. But it's not on the scale of the Vietnam War protests. Which makes sense--we're not drafting our kids to go die in Gaza! (And the economy is doing well.)

In any case, the argument that this is relevant to Sweetgreen's business requires a little more to stand on. Certainly their Q1 results seem to dispute the hypothesis; the problem isn't growth, it's costs.
Also worth noting that pretty much every ancient civilization ended up figuring out the order of the planets, at least relative to earth. (It turns out not to be so difficult since this is directly related to their sidereal periods.)

Both replies as I write this are ignoring the question I was answering. The question was, how can a compiler implement a linked list as anything other than a linked list? The answer is what I gave. Being a compiler, it may also do things like an analysis of the use cases to prove that there are no relevant changes to performance (or that performance only improves) and fall back to a "true" linked list if it can't prove how it is being used, or, being a compiler, it may just tell you to get stuffed and deal with the performance differences. Depends on the choices the compiler author(s) made.

But just because Lisp has cons and cdr does not mean the compiler is obligated to only and exactly use things that structurally look like linked lists in the actual implementation. You need to break the relationship between memory layout and API to understand what is going on here. You may choose later to put them back together; the naive memory layout is often a good one. (Linked lists nowadays are arguably one of the larger exceptions to that, but there are still circumstances even so where that may not be an issue; see Erlang's memory management for instance and ponder how that impacts linked list locality.) But you can't understand what compilers may be doing if you do not realize that there is a distinction.

Whoa. The URL is correct, the text is not.
Hangovers are a good part caused by by the body reacting to the "damage" that alcohol does:

- Alcohol loosens the blood vessels, whereas a lot of the effects of a hangover are caused by the body then "over-constricting" when the aclohol goes away, causing headaches and nausea. The cause of the headache is similar for a brain-freeze from too much ice cream causing the veins in your neck and throat to constrict, though the brain-freeze goes away as you warm back up.
- There's also the dehydration as alcohol throws off the balance of water in your system as it makes you want to pee more, but interferes with the body's ability to actually absorb water.
- Alcohol causes your body to pump out more "feel good" hormones, which then lead to a crash later.

So the way to prevent a hangover is to not get drunk in the first place, same as always. If you want to drink and limit the effects of alcohol (including the initial "benefits") then this has potential. It may prevent vomiting in the sense that vomiting is your body trying to eject the poison as it's building up faster than it can process it (eg when you're already trashed an on the train to hangoverville).

However, people often tend to drink for the "good" effects that this gel prevents. If what you want is alcohol's fun, then you're going to need another cure (essentially an IV drip, and drugs to replace the hormones and loosen your blood vessels - all of which are not readily available for other good reasons).
7m was the peak so maybe it went down as well?
What are you daily routine in the internet?

Pretty much all desktop virtualization/VDI/etc. products have been de-emphasized by essentially everybody except to the degree that they're a largely free byproduct of server virtualization. I doubt any company is devoting more than a minimal number of resources to these products--maybe Apple more than others. Red Hat, for example, even sun-setted its "traditional" enterprise virtualization product in favor of Kuvevirt on OpenShift. And a VDI product was pretty much abandoned years ago.
They're very late to do this IMO, but better late than never. I am certain that VMWare has not been selling many Workstation licenses to personal users (costing ~$300 each) and making the products free gives free advertising and mindshare to VMWare. Visual Studio is a good example of this, Microsoft making Visual Studio free for personal use in 2014 provided a huge boost to a platform that a lot of people had written off as dead, irrelevant, gray corporate software.
> Websites are not physical neighborhoods.

True but incidental, possibly anathema, to the point...

Which is that physical neighborhoods make up the user-base of the web, whether they be large server farms or small form-factor computing devices.

And because those users live in real neighborhoods, connected by real wires (or radio waves connected to towers that are connected by wires), the following statement simply isn't true:

> Your neighborhood analogy is nonsensical. You can't ignore drug dealers in a neighborhood.

You can't ignore cyber-criminals or SEO farms that are trying to sell you stuff. There are real neighborhoods made by real people and real devices, just because you can't draw a nice circle around it on a single landmass on a map doesn't make them less real.

> You can build a website and not give two shits about Google.

You can, but you building a website is not you using a website. This is no different than glorifying Gopher - yes the protocol is there, but if no one is using it in the way you intend to use it then it hardly matters?

I don't think gopher is necessarily the best protocol, but there is probably a real "neighborhood effect", at least for a while (until the metaphorical drug dealers move in again).

Neither gopher nor http+www does much for solving that issue, though.
I've never used (or even seen) Teams, but I've seen the userbase graphs. Teams is killing it.

being desktop doesn't imply AM5. there was a 4-channel threadripper, for instance.

but I was thinking more of a mini-pc, since legacy form-factors don't make that much sense for a high-end APU. being a mini-pc would also make it more palatable to solder on the CPU like a laptop - and of course soldered-on RAM gets to run at higher speed.
Every linked list discussion I've ever gotten into ends with someone finding a way to modify the std::list data structure in such a way that totally breaks the definition of the LL data structure. We may as well call it "the law of linked list arguments"
I had Fusion and ran Windows with it early on (it could even play some games!) and since I had it, I used it for Linux and some other things.

No, to all of this. Purveyors of IQ tests for hiring brag about their client lists. It is simply not true that there is a prohibition on IQ testing candidates. There isn't a de jure ban, and there isn't a de facto one. The majority of companies that don't use them made that decision because the tests are stupid, not because they're a form of HR samizdat.

I suspect the issue is that the number of customers is dropping--thus the excessive marketing costs.

$10 is a weak tipping point and then $20 is a strong tipping point.

If you cross $10, I'm going to ask if there is something I can substitute. For sweetgreen, the answer is likely that I can go hit the local grocery store and grab a prepackaged salad. If I'm just looking for non-junk calories for lunch, that's way more than sufficient. This is dangerous as the mindspace starts decreasing.

If you cross $20, you had better be an actively good food experience. Otherwise, I'm looking for another place to eat or pre-preparing something myself. $20 buys a nice steak at the grocery store. Once you get me comparing your restaurant to a pound slab of ribeye, you've got a deep, deep problem.

Tuition would have to go way up if they nixed the lecture. That class sponges up probably 6-8 TA sections worth of students 3x a week. So to staff that like they do in the 1x weekly section with your TA (about 20ish students per instructor) you need to hire probably 10x as many instructors, a lot more for some classes even. Money needs to come from somewhere for that.
Also, what is the "Google" part of this?
