This was my first thought as well.

But thinking about it more, we are not saying that all information has to be true or that someone can't be wrong.

I think it is also easier to identify obviously false information than it is to identify true just due to the nature of discovering things. It is easier to rule out than identify. That also helps combat the "censorship" claims.

So it seems like it would be seeing a pattern of false information. Maybe they do legitimately believe what they are saying because they fell down some rabbit hole. But if a majority of subject matter experts would say something is false and that happens over and over again for someone, than they are likely not contributing much to the platform.
And I address Proton specifically in my comment and also address why it’s not an indicator of increased gaming support on Mac.

I truly feel half of the replies here are glossing over the things I’ve already covered and perhaps are people who haven’t actually tried the equivalent Mac solutions and seen where the resultant deficiencies lie or the delta between platforms that proton would also have to bridge further.

Vulkan isn’t the magical silver bullet people think it is.
True, although the Fermi Paradox still sort of applies here, e.g., even if the galaxy were teeming with aliens zipping all over the galaxy in their warp-capable spacecraft, the odds of them charting a course right past our fairly uninteresting solar system seem low.

This is likely not helped by the fact that we are more than halfway out to the edge of the galaxy, in one of the Milky Way's spiral arms; since we're not near the galactic centre, there are less possible travel paths that pass by us (if we just assume arbitrary random travel between any two points.)

So even if it is happening right now in abundance, and even if we can detect its occurrence, are any of those paths close enough to us to be detected?
Yes, definitely want to back this up. Alyssa is definitely a really skilled and competent engineer. But she also has years of domain knowledge she has built up. That isn't to knock down her skill, but more of, don't let it demotivate it you because it too also took Alyssa time to get where she is.
Yes, the last 5 remaining humans after the most recent climate disaster will thoroughly enjoy waving at the billionaires living on the luxury lunar retreat.

The technological advancements were nice the first time around. But diminishing returns are a thing.

And it’s getting worse. Somebody told me their team at Big Tech used to have a mini cupcake party when people hit a tenure milestone like 5 year, 10, etc.

Along with layoffs the company killed the cupcake budget. (Mind you the stock is sky high and they’re raking in cash.)

If a company doesn’t think your decade of commitment to making them money merits a fucking cupcake, it goes without saying you’ll get screwed on comp.
Gambling vs Guarantee. I've lost options or unvested RSU 3 times to companies suddenly rolling over, getting acquired, or doing layoffs. Of the two times I've hit it and actually had them pay out, one payed out at only 1/3 of the original valuation of the equity and one only paid out for two quarters before we were acquired.

Take the pay increase vs the equity every time. Plus by changing 5 times, I diversified my equity on more companies and ensured something hit at least a little.

Show HN: A website that tailors your resume for each job you apply for
Hey HN,

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. As someone who has spent countless hours tweaking my resume for different job applications, I wanted to find a way to make this process more efficient and effective. So, I built a website that tailors your resume for each job you apply for.

You can check it out here: https://resume.ink

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Cheers,
Sami
> Federal money doesn't grow on a tree in D.C.--it comes from taxpayers in the several states!

Sure, I'm not saying it's impossible, what I'm taking potential issue how accurate the numbers you provided are since it's possible that the reason that Texas has such a successful economy is because they're not directly paying for everything.

I could be wrong, I'm not asserting anything, I'm just pointing out a potential confounding variable.

> Texans are subject to federal law, which is regularly dicated to us by people from thousands of miles away, with whom we have little in common. If that's not being 'held back', what is?

That's true of literally every state, so it's really not a Texas-specific problem.

Which specific federal laws do you think are hindering Texas, outside of some vague notion that people in New York and DC "have little in common with you"? I'm not saying there aren't any, I'm actually curious, but this always seems like a sticking point that would come up when I lived in Texas and people would talk about the virtues of secession.

I guess you could argue "gun laws", but even with that the US federal government offers considerable leeway to the states to handle that already.
> There is no planet where the opinion above represents "force."

How about one of the standard Merriam Webster definitions of force: (verb) "to compel by physical, moral, or intellectual means" i.e. by framing their argument to compel by convincing it's from an intellectual standpoint. Not too interested on your hangups for definitions of basic words to be honest here though.

Throwing a tantrum about being unable to redirect outrage freely onto others while masquerading adding functionality to enable that discourse as an "already solved problem implemented by others" with lack of complying to their personal standards being perceived as refusing "enhancements" isn't a discussion, its an emotion driven stance attempting to make the other party look unreasonable.
Therein lies the trick: if nobody is competitive, everybody is competitive.

FWIW I'm actually coming out of a 3 year hiatus making 50% more than the FAANG position I left in 2021.
I'm not saying it's not happening, however, the US has a much bigger stick to use by withholding funds/arms/aid before stooping to this level of influence*. Pretty much no other country has the reciprocal influence to the US, so these kinds of machinations is kind of expected.

*Historical examples of other forms of US meddling/interference is not being ignored, and paves the way to why I would not say not being done.

The article mentions trying to prove local properties of functions, and that’s all well and good, and similarly we could prove local properties of the function being pointed to.

Well, the article focuses on the first 10 years of one's career. Once you hit that 10-year mark you are aiming for positions like Staff/Principal Engineer - those are harder to get, and often require you to spend more than 2 years in the company before you are seriously considered for them. And not because of some weird politics, but because to do those jobs really well you need intimate knowledge not only of mainstream technologies, but also stuff internal to the company, like legacy code bases, team structures, long term goals and strategies, etc.
Yup this is a good example. This is because the model has no conception of what 'causality' is or how to try to come up with a correct 'model' - humans have a visual system which helps them out, but for LLMs I can definitely see your point and yup in these instances - if you feed in garbage data then yeah - you will get garbage out.

How do the rich become gradually richer under PoS? I'm flabbergasted by the level of math education.

Assume we have 2 validators in the network; the first one owns 90% of the network, the second one owns 10%. Lets call them Whale and Shrimpy, respectively.

To make the numbers round let's assume total circulating supply of ETH is 100 initially and that the yield resulting from being a validator is 10% per year. After the first year, 10 new ETH will have been minted. Whale would have gotten 9 ETH, and Shrimpy would have gotten 1 ETH. OP is assuming that as 9 is bigger than 1, Whale is getting richer faster than Shrimpy. But, let's look at the final situation globally.

At year 0:

Total ETH circulating supply: 100 ETH

Whale has 90 ETH. Owns 90% of the network.

Shrimpy has 10 ETH. Owns 10% of the network.

At year 1:

Total ETH circulating supply: 110 ETH

Whale has 99 ETH. Owns 90% of the network.

Shrimpy has 11 ETH. Owns 10% of the network.

Whale has exactly the same network ownership after validating for 1 whole year, the network is not centralizing at all! The rich are not getting richer any faster than the poor.

TL;DR: Friends don't let friends skip elementary math classes.

..which makes no sense. It is either an argument of ignorance or of purposeful deceit. There is no coherent data corpus (compressed or not) in ChatGPT. What is stored are weights that create a string of tokens that can recreate excerpts data that it was trained on, with some imperfect level of accuracy.

Which I agree is problematic, and OpenAI doesn't have the right to disseminate that.

But that doesn't mean OpenAI doesn't have the right to train on it.

Content creators are doing a purposeful slight of hand to confabulate "outputting copyrighted data" with "training on copyrighted data".

Anything beyond Earth orbit requires either multi-stage expendable rockets, which isn't economical for supporting a moon base, or in-orbit refueling that has better economics than expendable rockets, which depends on cheap rapid reusability. If you can't land, refuel, and fly without refurbishing the launch system, rocket engines, etc. you can't ship fuel to orbit cheaply enough to justify in-orbit refueling.

Starship is a vastly better attempt at more of these goals than STS. But if it misses cost, or payload, or reliability goals it won't solve this problem. It is even possible that it will take too many attempts in which a ship and 39 engines are expended to even get close.

Seriously. My brother received $1 million in Tesla stock options when they recruited him. They certainly aren’t worth that much anymore. Does he stay and hope the Musk will stop tanking the stock or jump ship?
Yep, I see this in industrial automation. My company is particularly bad about it, since the corporate office is in Houston where you can hire people for the duration of a project fairly easily.

Problem is, my part of the company isn't in Houston, so qualified employees are hard to find. So we need to hold on to people, which is hard when we rarely hand out raises. I do my best to train up my guys, but I know that they're probably going to move on in a couple of years. My goal is to make an enjoyable environment so that they'll come back eventually at a higher pay rate.

My best worker - the one I'm training up to be a lead - is the lowest paid member of the team, and I can't do anything about it. It sucks.
I would say that reading about the fact checks of the Wuhan lab leak theory during the pandemic were a pretty good example of this, where just because something might likely be of "natural origin" doesn't mean that it didn't escape from a lab.

So they would criticize someone who said it leaked out of a lab with evidence that suggested that the virus wasn't man made. However, that evidence doesn't really have much to do with:

1. Could a virus of natural origin escaped from a virus lab unmodified?
2. Could a lab that was engaged in research trying to modify a virus have accidentally let the virus escape and the research was the actual source of the virus?

To be fair, I personally don't think anyone can say for sure what really happened, but by manipulating the scope of the question to a very narrow man made virus escaped from a lab when the original speaker just said it leaked from a lab, your claim can easily be labeled as false.
> What do we do as Apple users stuck in this ecosystem whose main goal is to extract more money from our pockets?

Leave ... the ... ecosystem.

This is the whole point of things like Asahi Linux. Take advantage of the hardware and escape from the software.

If all the developers who slave over Apple devices spent 10% of their time improving the experience on something else, 24 months later Apple wouldn't have a market.

I left. I got tired of fighting bugs in macOS given that Apple clearly no longer gives a damn about macOS.

I just bought my second Lenovo Carbon X1 after leaving Land-Of-The-Fruit. This one is about $1700 + a Saumsung 4TB SSD. Note: I can actually upgrade the SSD. It has 32GB of RAM for half the price of anything equivalent in macOS. The OLED display is right about the equivalent macOS resolution, and it's a matte display. It has a useful set of ports--a goddamn HDMI port as well as 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A ports.

And Lenovo's external dock actually freakin' works.

Yeah, it probably doesn't get the performance or battery life as an M3. Given that I didn't notice on my previous Lenovo vs an M1/M2, I'm not likely to notice this time either.

And, as a "bonus", I can run an actual Windows install if I absolutely must.

>, that type of motivation, whatever you call it, does not precede prior success in that activity; that type of motivation, whatever you call it, will go away in the face of hardships and struggles; that type of motivation, whatever you call it, is not necessary to perform the task at hand.

I didn't downvote but I wanted to comment that your explanation doesn't work for a lot of "unmotivated" people. It just moves the difficulty/mystery to a different set of words in an attempt to describe it.

E.g. "How do I get that intitial urge?/trigger?/spark?/agitation? ... to start the activity that creates post-activity motivation?"

Which of course, the answer always ultimately ends up with a variation of ... "You Just Need To Start". Ah yes, "just start".

And thus, we circle back to the same Mt Everest of difficulty for a lot of unmotivated people. They're still stuck and can't get started.

I think the issue is that there are well-meaning people who honestly think they're "not motivated" and then "just force themselves to get started on acting anyway". Now, being in the groove of acting can then become the self-reinforcing "motivation". They then think this personal experience of cause-&-effect of acting-precedes-motivation in their mind can be transferred to other people. But it does not work on a lot of unmotivated people. So, those who are still struggling look for any mental hacks that might work better than "just get started instead of waiting for motivation".
We're just arguing semantics at that point though aren't we?

If the purpose of the trolling is to influence a decision, does it matter if the target reads it and is trolled directly or trolls enough constituents to call for action? Either way, the influence was asserted making the effort worthwhile.

So it also doesn't take into account the potential long term toxicity of driving everyone with certain views to other platforms, where those views will be reinforced. With those platforms having the appeal of their "taboo" helping to market them.

> "I feel a desire to perform an act I deem to align with what I want to do although it will bring me immediate-term discomfort"

It's an _internal type_ of "extrinsic motivation", right.

> will go away in the face of hardships and struggles

Yes, and this is true for all types of extrinsic motivation.

> doesn't precede the success

Well, that's where things get interesting. There are three main factors that influence motivation – autonomy, competence and relatedness.

Autonomy - perception of your actions being connected to your own values/beliefs/desires.
Competence - perception of your actions being connected to the growth or achievement.
Relatedness - perception of your actions bringing closer to the people you care about.

Those 4 types of extrinsic motivation go mostly on the scale of decreasing autonomy. And it's important to say that all types of motivation have slightly different natures and can work simultaneously, just one of those will dominate.

So you are probably right saying that the internal type of extrinsic motivation doesn't require prior success. But, once you start doing it, the perception of success (whatever that means in a given context) will greatly contribute to shifting your dominant motivation either closer to the intrinsic motivation (i.e. you'll start enjoying) or towards amotivation (opposite extreme side).

Perception of success is mostly a "competence" part. That's how the coach might choose the right level of challenge for the athlete, to keep their motivation growing (or at least not falling). And if you really want to build intrinsic motivation, you absolutely need it.

And yes, not every task require intrinsic motivation. But it would be also true to say, that every task will benefit greatly if people performing it are intrinsically motivated. There are two main reasons: efficiency and... people happiness.

An intrinsically motivated person will require less pressure/incentives, will keep doing the task amid hardships. Which directly translates into economic value.
It also directly linked to the feeling of wellbeing and vitality (aka happiness). It might not be very important for whoever needs task to be done, but a society where autonomy is inhibited and extrinsic motivation is dominating is very different from society with high level of autonomy. It's like, people are just happier.
I only see the end result, but generally when there is a community note, it tends to be something obviously false and I agree with it.
It's a press release. If you'd prefer to see the rewritten press release in conventional media, here's one example:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/siemens-yorkshire-made-...

Presumably, the writer fact-checked the piece before publishing it. Maybe they did; maybe they didn't. Before The Internet, any reputable newspaper publisher would have. Today, there's a lot more push to be fast and cheap.

That's always been the majority of news. Reporters find out about stories from somewhere. When it comes to business news, it's usually from a company's PR department telling them. It's not like they're ferreting out secrets. They're supposed to put in some leg-work of their own, but the PR department isn't supposed to be actually lying. Getting caught at that causes other reporters to start ignoring your press releases.

These days we can more easily get our hands on those un-rewritten press releases. And that's an advantage in the sense that it's a primary source. But unless you're an expert in the domain, you always need help to put the primary source in context.

Er, anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

NY Times v OpenAI and Microsoft says the opposite, that verbatim, large archives of NY Times articles were retrieved via API. This may or may not matter to how LLMs work, but "large archive" seems accurate, other than semantic arguments (e.g. "Compressed archive" may be semantically more accurate).
Well, should we consider ChatGPT a Turing machine? Otherwise, I think an answer like that either requires significantly more research; insight; or general knowledge about how LLMs work.

IE, you're getting into areas that are analogous to Turing's theories. I don't think he came up with those theories overnight.
