It's not the same thing. When you change the font size, Word doesn't upload your entire document to the cloud to ensure your content aligns with MS's corporate puritanical value system, freezing the entire UI for 10 seconds while it waits for approval from the Microsoft censors before finally allowing your chosen font size.
I also distinctly remember even in my intro-to-OOP programming book, it was explicitly called out that mathematical-isa relationships (the square/rectangle/parallelogram case was the one they used in that example) don't qualify as is-a relationships for the purposes of OOP!
And yet those places are entirely unwilling, and sometimes literally economically unable, to increase what they are offering to fill those positions.

It's not staffing issues. Companies very clearly are willing to overwork their existing staff rather than hire new.

There's a store of our local grocery chain that is placed in an extremely high traffic, high income, extremely high wealth portion of the state. It pulls in over $1 million a day in sales. They have complained about "staffing" for years now, all this "nobody wants to work" BS, to the point that they most likely are losing sales to competitors. They offer $20 an hour starting. They could offer $40 an hour and have their pick of great employees and unlock more revenue, but they choose not to do that, because it's better to struggle with an understaffed store than it is to set a precedent of people making actual money for their labor.
I'm surprised I've never heard of this product before, it looks like something I would have loved to have played with as a kid.

I did have the opportunity to play with the Casio Cassiopeia with Windows CE a few years ago, and I thought it was really impressive for something released in 1997. Being able to have an adequate version of Word and Excel on the go in something that basically fit in your pocket just seemed really impressive to me in the 90s.

Now I kind of want to play with the Psion 5mx.
Also love that MIDI velocity is mapped to pluck position, so higher velocity notes are brighter. This is a beautiful representation of physical modeling.

Azure Storage Accounts have major problems with key partitioning that you have to be aware of at the application level that S3 has no problem with. Additionally, Azure Storage accounts have bandwidth throttle limits that can force you to shard across multiple accounts which is pretty painful. Azure SDKs outside of C# and Java are also not well supported in my experience.

EDIT: This was based on my experience from ~2 years ago. The Blob storage team has reached out to me via email and let me know that both the key partitioning and throttling issues have been fixed since then.

[Article 49] protects civilians

It protects civilians in occupied territories. Not the supposed "rights" of persons from an Occupying country to settle into these territories under the protection of the Occupier's armed forces and civil administration (as is the current situation in the West Bank).

This is plainly obvious from the language of the GCIV; and it is the overwhelming consensus interpretation of legal scholars on in regard to this section.
Apart from 3D being harder to implement and slower to solve, it's also quite tricky to visualize.

You can't do like in the examples linked in this discussion and simply plot every (Nth) point, that mainly just dissolves into visual chaos. So you have to do 2D slices, or isosurfaces or streamlines or 3D view of a few tracer particles, preferrably combined with animated rotation of the system.
Okay, you're already operating at a higher level. You can mostly-memorize entire concept maps and redraw them from memory. You realize most people can't do that? Lots of other people are still operating at the flash card level.
Yep. For a long time I assumed my next car would be a Tesla.

As a diligent programmer I research my tools and make my own conclusions when they are good and when they are inappropriate for the task at hand. Like everybody else should.

I don't even use Rust for a while now, by the way, because its lower speed of iteration was an ill fit for my contracting work. I love what it's doing but it is not a silver bullet (but then again, what is?).

...and by the way, mental exhaustion is pretty much a given if you are a pro. That's one of the reasons we are paid gobs of money.

As for the "feedback" you are alluding to, it's more like people throwing feces at me but feel free to disagree. None of them have addressed my questions except maybe one. They all rushed into snark just like you did. Even 1000 such comments are not interesting or informed feedback and can't advance any discussion.

I am still here and still open to discuss... with the people who bother to discuss.
Isn't it mid-skilled desk jobs that are becoming worth less and less?

You can't automate a lot of tasks firefighters do. You need someone to actually show up in-person, in an area where there might be things that interfere with electronics.

Automation in cleaning or cooking is pretty minimal. I don't see computers replacing chefs at any of the restaurants in town. We have roombas, but they aren't even particularly good at vacuuming - they can't move furniture to get behind it - and I don't know of anything that automates dusting, etc. There's laundry machines and dishwashers, but they still require human intervention.

We have more and more people delivering packages, not less, and self-driving technology is a dangerous/morbid joke.

On the other hand, automation of websites is getting better, but we didn't really need most websites anyway.
Do the opposite of (popular) HN too
reading some of the reactions to this, it amazes me how many free VSTs just need a web interface of some kind to suddenly become interesting and popular.

If you have a DAW there are so many interesting free sound generators on the internet. Just spitfire audio has their free lab VSTs which give you 60 VSTs to play with - and thats just one company.

Its all just missing the front end a DAW normally provides but is too complicated for people just looking to mess around with sounds.

Stakeholders. I'm talking about the different teams in Meta that would have to approve your diffs.
The easy answer here would be to look at analyst estimates. If you notice nvidia selling 20 billion in H100s and the consensus revenue is 10 billion, then it's probably not priced in.
> Sure you do. You could buy shares.

Oh, yeah, it's a great system if you're someone who has money. Most people don't.

Representatives, on the other hand, can't exist without votes.

Most of the money in politics is spent on convincing voters to vote for a particular rep, that's why money holds sway over politicians. But money in itself isn't actually going to get someone elected.

And isn't it weird how the people who do get elected actually tend to be of at least vaguely similar political leanings to their constituents?

If money was all it took, we'd have no issue electing hard-conservative anti-abortion fundamentalists in, say Chicago, as long as they had policies that their donors found appealing. (Or, conversely, socially progressive, economically regressive 'liberals' in the deep south.)

As it turns out, money in elections can only shift the needle so much, and won't turn black into white.

What it can do is pick a winner out of a lineup of similar candidates, where the margins are close enough that a bigger advertising war chest will move the needle... And even then, all of those campaigns are only possible by ground-canvassing volunteers, who are motivated ideologically, not financially.

My dad and I replaced a 100MB HDD with a 1GB HDD for $100. When did this happen?
In a very early memory and the start of my obsession with computers, my father upgraded his 100MB hard drive with a 1GB drive for $100 USD. I remember everything about that moment such as the smell of a room packed electronics, how excited my dad was to get what seemed like an inconceivable amount of storage (694 floppies, I remember doing the math), and the exact purchase price and size, $100 and 1GB.

The only thing I don't remember is when this happed. I can't ask my father unfortunately but would love to place this event in time. I remember it was very notable that 1GB could be bought for as low as $100 and it happened at a small local PC sales and repair store located in the US South. 1995 maybe?
'At the level of automation we've reached, labor is worth, per hour, way more than 100 years ago. The problem is just that this value is siphoned off by shareholders who do not have to work to receive the monetary value that should go to the worker.'

"Siphoned off"? The shareholders funded the automation that boosted the workers' productivity.
From a certain standpoint, a Turing machine is all you need.

The difference between the first and second, is that after the second, the ‘Axis’ states were brought into the global economy. Germany and Japan became famously successful both financially and technologically. The economic growth wasn’t to be sustained in the long run, but it intwined them with global markets. Globalization is arguably the biggest force for peace in the western world, save for nuclear deterrent.
FWIW I think that's the essence of the complaint here: "is a" can mean various things in various contexts, but Liskov substitution principle and OOP design generally requires it to mean something specific, and using "OOP is a" when you meant another "is a" is an easy trap to fall into, because the language makes it so easy to do.

But I don't see why this is a complaint about OOP in general. It's a complaint specifically about inheritance.

That said, the claim that integers "are" naturals is mathematically 100% false as well, so the example in the article is also kind of a silly straw man.

> And over and over I come away with Hinton explaining mathematically and conceptually whats going on in LLMs

This likely has more staying power than the crypto boom that fueled AMD's GPUs to enormous heights but when that crashed AMD ended up holding a lot of stock it couldn't shift and had an enormous right down of inventory. This AI bubble could be burst by a better cheaper product more dedicated to the task or a realisation that the issues with AI just can't be solved and a cooling off of the market hype.

What I fear is that Nvidia sees no value in its basic graphics cards any more or wants a lot more for them because they could sell that wafer space to businesses for more $. Its been getting crazy expensive for decent GPUs for a while for gaming and I can't see the next generation doing anything but being much higher due to the AI boom.
I tell basically every parent I meet about it with the enthusiasm of Tom cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch.
The answer is we are in the Pentium II 33 MHz stage of AI chips.

So, plan accordingly into what the future demand may look like.
What's the catch with programs like Buildspace?
Saw on twitter a few of the yc companies that got in this batch participated in "Buildspace". I got rejected and have never even done any startup-related programs/accelerators/incubators/whatever they call themselves, wondering if it increase your chances or if it's just a waste of time.

Appreciate anyone with personal experience/opinions to share.

The difference between this scraper and other scrapers is that normally, scrapers are usually used for personal or nefarious purposes.

The data scraped for AI models is used explicitly for a commercial purpose by a commercial entity and the original creator received zero compensation or notice that their work was going to be used in a commercial product. The actual rights holders of the works that were used in an unauthorized manner have no way to seek compensation or removal of their work from this commercial product.

There is little material difference between this behavior and if someone downloaded your site and used its content in a book they were selling. It doesn't matter that you discovered this book was printed two years ago. Your work is still being used without your permission.

3. To justify current valuation revenues must continue to grow next 4-5 years until plateauing while Nvidia profit margin gradually declines to something normal, like 30%.

High growth is fragile. The value of Nvidia has dropped 50% multiple times in the past. Recression, or temporary oversupply, anything can mess it.
> As software becomes more and more complex, it is more and more important to structure it well. Well-structured software is easy to write and to debug, and provides a collection of modules that can be reused to reduce future programming costs. In this paper we show that two features of functional languages in particular ...

My problem with this side of the force, is that it's all about the theory and the expressivity, which matters of course, but very little about tooling, readability of the code, etc. This sometimes gives birth to functional languages that are very interesting but not really usable from an engineering perspective.

To me, it would be interesting to see a modern functional language that would follow Rust's way. Great all-in-one product (tooling, build system, package manager, formatter, static analyzer) with great doc, and language decisions that make organizing codebases a pleasure (via convention over configuration, for example)
There's nothing hypocritical here. There are lots of things that are harmless/beneficial when you choose to do them which become sinister once they're enabled by default.
I'm not sure what you consider low-skilled - but have you tried to hire someone to build or fix anything recently?

Labor jobs seem to demand a huge price right now - and I don't think anyone is predicting robots that can tile a backsplash, install a 240v outlet, or even dig a trench for a sewer line anywhere in the near future. Let alone have the cost of owning and operating such a robot be more cost effective than paying a human.

I'm much more concerned about lawyers, accountants, marketers, and software engineers than I am people who physically build and fix things.

Like I said, agree to disagree, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks and all that, but to me, after a day, the most pertinent at-a-glance information there is "this was received yesterday". I definitely think it's more useful for more recent things that can say "37 minutes ago" or "3 hours ago", but to me, "yesterday" is also useful. (I might prefer it if it said "yesterday morning" and "yesterday evening" or something like that, but I rarely care about the exact time, after a day.)

OOP is a tool like any other and isn't always suitable. A similar example from geometry: all squares are rectangles, but you wouldn't implement a square type by deriving from rectangle because it breaks LSP.

> Adding a new operation on numbers requires modifying all the classes.

This is part of the expression problem. With an OOP approach, adding a new operation is a "heavy" task. With a functional approach, adding a new type is a heavy task.

In the case of the numerical tower, the set of types is more or less locked down.
Most use an IDE such as Emacs (paredit-mode and rainbow-parens) that handles automatic paren matching for you, so it's really a non-issue after the first week. The editor takes care of indentation, matching (so you don't have any dangling parens ever), and optionally colors matching pairs in the same color so you can easily tell what level they're at.

Continuum mechanics in itself is a very different subject from particle-based methods to approximate continuum mechanics, like MPM.

To actually learn continuum mechanics you need first a good understanding of vector calculus. But this is not necessary at all for using and tweaking particle based methods.

No, the Nvidia 4070 Ti has much higher performance, TOPS is for integer operations, the 4070 Ti has ~40 float32 TFLOPS and 641 TOPS https://www.nvidia.com/fr-fr/geforce/graphics-cards/40-serie... (which I would say would be peak TOPS for int4 operations, comparing it to the 4080 datasheet, and a bit more than half that for int8 operations) https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/Solutions/geforce/ada/nvid... page 34.

If those brands do not follow, is there a risk that the nature of most of News Corps content and its volume will skew the behavior of OpenAI’s models? They either don’t consider the former a risk, don’t consider the latter a risk, or just don’t care about skew (which would sadden me).

At the end of the day, the price of labor is going to be a the intersection of supply and demand, so this isn't much different that forcing an employee to spend x% of their wages on buying shares in their own company.
