The have’s are at heavily subsidized levels anyway. Anyone who could locked in a low rate in 2020, 2021 and early 2022. I don’t think they intend to move or sell unless the rates are in their favor. Blending allows for that to be possible in a gradual manner. Otherwise we are looking at real estate gridlock for a very long time.

Blending is obviously politically uncomfortable. However, the “have’s” are already at a massive advantage.

The company promised there is a "LAM", or "Large Action Model" which uses AI to perform actions. The claim is that it can perform actions on-the-fly that the Rabbit devs never considered, rather than simply turning NLU into a fixed set of actions as with Siri, Alexa, etc.
Yeah the way they've executed this license change is really unfortunate.

SST has a good guide for migration: https://docs.sst.dev/migrating/serverless-framework

Otherwise you might consider doing the same with CDK. As a last resort you can use CloudFormation's new import/export tools and manage the stacks with SAM.

It's really too bad, I'm sure a more reasonable pricing scheme (framework only?) would lead to more adoption, but I'm sure that revenue had been a huge challenge lately and it seems like that means it's the end of the road for the Serverless Framework until v3 is forked.

As for me, just what is needed for learning programming language in an easy and playful form.
I'm in that basket. I can't reliably commute due to a neurological disability that prevents me from driving. I've been WFH since 2015. It's harder to find WFH jobs that pay as well. I also rely on expensive drugs to manage the condition. I absolutely cannot take the risk of being without health insurance. It definitely makes it a lot harder. I can't really tell prospective employers about the disability, it will just scare them off.
I agree on all your points, but find it funny that you mention game-dev as a bad example. I know the industry has a bad reputation but some of my best gigs were at gaming companies(and, as per your suggestion, those were the best paid ones too!)

probably relevant detail is that I did contractor work for backend/server stuff for those gaming companies. And the two studios in question have each published the biggest games in their respective categories in the world(which basically means they both have infinite money)
I've seen this too, but it was because those people were early/founding members and got some significant equity or options package as a result.

If you're not one of those people at your company or there isn't a high chance of your equity being worth something in the future, sticking around isn't going to lead to more money.

I'd also note that in many of the cases I've personally seen, those people actually did leave at some point but came back, sometimes even multiple times over the years. They were valuable enough to the company (or at least were perceived to be by leadership) that they could pretty much come and go as they pleased.
I use reusable bags for many years as well, and I wash them every so often. I of course, wash all the produce before using anyway, so a little bit of dirtiness of the bag is negligible.

So I want to say that it's not entirely clear to me that social media peer pressure campaigns are not on occassion counter productive. Automating it seems like it would be potentially disasterous.

>> I must confess, when I tried to answer the question I got it wrong...! (I feel silly). I only realised I got it wrong when I plugged it into GPT-4o and it came back with the correct answer:

Remember that the authors of the paper did not find that GPT4-o cannot return the right answer. They found that it can't return the right answer more often than ~60% of the time. So you'd have to repeat the experiment many, many times and aggregate the results (the paper uses a binomial Beta this and that etc etc) before you see similar results as the paper.

You won't replicate the results of the paper unless you really put your back into it.

I would say that whether it is derivative or transformative depends on things like the context and content, the way it would if you used a human engineer.

Was the AI/engineer prompted in a way designed to elicit a close derivative of Open Source work, or is the task context novel and focused on solving a unique problem?

Is the resulting system close in design, architecture and specific snippets? Or is it very different?

I've seen academic AI that writes science papers, quoting and citing Source papers. This is usually done by using RAG to locate papers and extract specific quotes.

Now imagine a rag assisted open source coding system that can pull code from all over GitHub. It may vendor and modify a certain dependency. But it will also keep a copy of the original code's license, as requested by the license. If the AI eventually rewrites that dependency from scratch with a clean room implementation, then it can drop the license.
Please enlighten me - what is the actual explanation that will increase my understanding?
It's a speciality of the Tornado tables which are mostly used in the US. It was introduced as a cost saving measure, because four additional figures are cheaper than a curved playing surface.

The curved corners in a traditional
table are of course necessary to avoid the ball being dead in the corners. With three players you don't need a curved corner and can still always get the ball.

Here is a video of the ITSF world cup, where you can see that there is just a single goalie on every side: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3vnrAIOWDwo&pp=ygUOaXRzZiB3b3J...

There is actually a quite interesting documentary out there which tells the rise and fall of foosball in the US which is tightly coupled with the company behind the Tornado tables if I remember correctly. I saw it on Youtube a while a ago, but could not find it now. Might have been "Foosballers" but I am nit sure.

Hi everyone,

I was getting annoyed when I had to leave a page and then needed to find where I was when I reopened it each time. So, I have just built a web extension to allow users to mark certain scroll positions for a page and then jump between them.

I hope it can be of use to you as well.

Sort of, I have way more experience with clients saying that an invoice is missing (which turned out to be a rolled back transaction) and then I get to explain how transactions work, and then if the customer is smart enough they'll say something like "then why the hell is the invoice number part of that?"

> and, as per your suggestion, those were the best paid ones too!

I've never worked in game dev, but at least in NYC I was being interviewed by Rockstar Games for a pretty senior-level position a couple years ago, just to find out that it maxed out at considerably less than my previous job. I didn't continue the process and I just assumed that it was standard in the games industry.

Giving these funds to states to distribute was a huge mistake. Asking each state to evaluate proposals and become knowledgeable enough to make the right decisions in this complicated area doomed the NEVI program from the start.

It means that the states most desperately in need of more EV charging infrastructure are the least likely to move forward because they're run by the party that doesn't care because most of their constituents don't care. But the minority who live there who need it, and the people who need to drive through the state pay the price. Huge screw up as with almost everything EV related that the government has done.
I wasn't responding to any proposition, but rather to the pattern of how the account is using Hacker News over a long stretch of time. That's what the word "primarily" refers to, and it's the most important thing to understand.

Of course I replied to a specific post because any reply has to do that; but I was responding to the account's use of HN over time. That's the issue here.

I wrote the GP in haste and can see how this point wasn't obvious. On the other hand it should quickly become obvious to anyone who clicks on the link I provided (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), which is the purpose of providing the link.

One thing that strikes me is that the model first tries using "inclusive language" in one answer - and literally states so, using this specific term - but seems to interpret it in a more mathematical sense (like set inclusion). Then seamlessly switches to the expected DEI spiel in the next paragraph.

For one thing, it makes me suspect that something with the words "inclusive language" was automatically added to the prompt. But more interesting is how it responds to this demand in two different ways, illustrating a "thought process" that is very much unlike that of a human with normal verbal reasoning ability.

I am not a psychologist, but remember reading that schizophrenic people sometimes confuse different meanings of words in a similar way, jumping from one meaning to another without noticing.
Those warned us that we westerners are not immune from getting manipulated into engaging in, and turning a blind eye to mass atrocities against entire groups of people. Even to attempts at their eradication. It was a lesson about the west and humanity.

We didn't learn though.
ahhh....that makes sense then.

as i think of it, it's strange that the US supposedly has a separation of religion from state, in the constitution+amendments, yet funds an external country based on a religion. i wonder what fraction of donations to Israel come back as lobbyists paying politicians to fund the next round of donations. there must be datasets recorded somewhere, but i have no idea where to look.
I'm sure you mean no _guarantee_ of stability, but clearly remaining in a current position is more "stable" than actively leaving it (by definition).

> That is not what GP advocated for

Right, that's why before I responded to your question ("why would the government have any right to tell me what to do with my building?") I tried to make it clear that I think there are better approaches than what the GP was advocating for i.e. directly seizing vacant properties.

> This is a tortuous chain of logic to get from building with squatters to government overthrown.

Can you be more specific about what part you disagree with?

To be clear, I'm not arguing that squatting results in overthrown governments, but that the acceptance of widespread squatting is sometimes a (shortsighted) policy response to a housing crisis. Squatting is a symptom but what can actually topple governments is sufficiently high levels of homelessness. Any government that allows a sufficiently large percentage of residents (especially young people) to become homeless will eventually be replaced by anarchy or a new government.

To reiterate, I'm just trying to answer your question of what right the government has to tell you what to do with your property -- I'm not specifically defending the GP's suggestion.
Permissions to manage network information. Apps on Android (and I believe iOS, but I'm not 100% certain) with network permissions can see broadcast SSIDs.

The headline sounds like it's stating a fact, but if you read the article it wasn't supported anywhere other than the author stating it. There is no data presented or study that was done. The author seems to believe that the salary jumps that accompany 2-year job changes can be sustained over time.

From my experience, I don't think this is the case. In your twenties it's definitely true, but when I look at the highest paid people (in their later career) it is not true that they did this.

I think the reason is that as you progress up a leadership structure, stability becomes increasingly important and candidates who have exhibited short tenures in roles are passed over because it is assumed this behavior will continue. It's highly damaging to have a VP leave an org leave after only 2 years in the role.
Well that's really just a side effect of capitalism and marketing. Some AI researchers are working through incremental discoveries needed to potentially have artificial intelligence. Companies come along and roll up each innovation into products and pitch them as some massive AI revolution.

That's fair, i maybe overinterpreted.

I can understand why Israelis might be suspicious of the UN. The relationship between UN and Israel seems kind of fraught in a way that isn't true of pretty much any other country. The not allowing israel to fully vote until 2010 (edit: 2014), the (arguably) unequal focus only Israel's human rights record relative to other countries, and the whole UNRWA being totally different with different rules than any other refugee group, all make israel a bit unique in its relationship to the UN. I could easily understand how someone from Israel might feel that the UN treats them differently from other countries and is perhaps biased against them.

That is definitely an improvement, but I find that concern a bit exaggerated.

If all you need is unpredictability, a minor bias is sub-optimal but not disastrous. The 256 % 62 bias used here should reduce the min-entropy per character by 5%. And you can easily minimize the bias by using larger integer than a single 8-bit byte. There few algorithms where minor biases cause a disaster, like DSA.
Yes it is. You can keep saying "no it's not" until the cows come home, but every single bit of unencrypted content (and possibly well known hashes of encrypted content) is subject to moderation on any large corporate property.
Yeah I can't say anything about MDPI, and this isn't in my domain. My domain is in ML and all I can say there is that the signal to noise ratio over conference publications and arxiv papers is within error. But research continues for the same reasons it always has, because people are communicating and niches know their niches. But I think it doesn't bode well for Academia or even industry, who are letting the metrics dictate how they evaluate people. Especially for industry, where things have to end up working. I think Gemini is doing a great job at showing how being great on benchmarks doesn't mean you're a great tool. It's because benchmarks are only guides. When they aren't, they will be hacked (if they already aren't). And that's a dangerous situation to be in.

I agree and healthcare (US) is a major factor. However, companies push the envelop too far. The cost of filling replacements, lost domain knowledge, decreased velocity during ramp up, etc. are far more costly that leadership admits. The main reason they just don't try to keep up even a little bit is because most leadership sees employees as replaceable resources that are all identical (not themselves though!). The thing is that people would stay forever in most cases if they gave a fraction of what they end up hiring replacements for.

People don't quit jobs, they quit bosses.
