Hallucination, in my opinion, is mostly down to bad prompting.

Just as one can say, in response to a perfectly correct answer, "Explain what's wrong with your answer" and it will find something, one can either create a vacuum it feels compelled to fill with hallucinations or ask in a way it stays grounded.
one of my proposals for partially fixing burnout would be to allow devs to take unpaid sabbaticals.

if i could have taken 6-9mo away from my job to do my "meaningful work" and then come back, i would've much preferred that to just outright leaving. i imagine that that'd be a great employee retention tool for the tech co as well.
I use proton's email service with a domain that I own. The client works good enough for me. It has filters, multiple addresses going to one box. There are probably some more advanced features that I don't use and proton and doesn't have.

I have a legacy gmail account that I am going to keep alive. All email is forwarded from that gmail account to my proton box.
At this point are we thinking there’s at least some water vapor in the atmosphere?
> impacts for 0.01% of users but will not matter at all to most folks(cue the replies from the 10 HN users who need to tell me how important this is to them).

It seems like this impacts the millions of people who visit the National Parks in the US?

There is essentially no cellular service anywhere in the parks because the Park Service thinks people should put down their phones and enjoy nature. Wifi is only for guests of the in-park hotels, and is barely adequate for sending short text messages. I actually can't remember that last time I saw a payphone, but they are everywhere in the parks (and people use them) because of the lack of cellular coverage.

> Also, wasn't this already announced?

You're thinking of emergency SOS. This is for chatting to your friends.
> but I need to put it in “gaming mode” manually?

No, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the point is that the phone does it automatically when you're playing a full screen game.
It's still a good reminder anyway. It's not something you often have to worry about. I just ran into this distinction dealing with handling raw http data. Was trying to check for string value in a byte string and took a bit to realize I was effectively doing: 'test' == b'test' which is, of course, False.
It's odd how unexcited Apple people often sound when they say they couldn't be more excited.

Learn your history before shooting your mouth off. Empire predates Civilization by 14 years. Which you might have realized if you thought about it being PDP-10 software.

"According to Meier, his Civilization actually started as a glorified version of a favorite childhood board game. "It was kind of like Risk brought to life on the computer," muses Meier. "That was the original idea. And then we added the technology and the whole sense of history to it." Meier was also a big fan of an early computer game called Empire, which combined Risk-like world domination with intricate city management. "At one point, [Meier] asked me to make a list of 10 things I would do to Empire to make it a better game," says Shelley. "That was some of his research on Civilization."" - https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/the-history-of-civiliza...

Truly, no one was saying this except for obviously wrong people. In 2007 the first iPhone was borderline magic. The core of the user experience has not changed because it never needed to change. They 100% nailed the UX on the first try. Everyone was agog. We knew it was the future.

I’d compare it to ChatGPT, but honestly there’s way more skepticism of that than there ever was of iPhone.
I worked for a project that was a kind of mix of Netflix and Audible, just a few orders of magnitude smaller. Earlier, we were selling these multimedia products as digital downloads. That was simple for both sides, but with increased numbers of products and their weights customers started to complain their iPads etc. don't have enough storage to keep them (basically they would delete them and then request a new download link...).

But the amount of things you need to deal with in the subscription model is huge. Everybody expects Netflix-like experience, instantaneous playback and searching etc. We can do that for N simultaneous streams; for more we need to add a slight delay - and that is noticeable. In any case, the same file is streamed multiple times, sometimes dozens of times a day for the same client. This is what I mean terribly inefficient. And although you can probably cache a few audio files, it doesn't work well for videos. From my point of view someone just wastes the bandwidth for not having to store a file locally. Yes I know this is how it is supposed to work, but still.
So OpenAI is going to compete directly with Azure, as a PaaS/IaaS? Doesn't make sense. At best they will be a thin layer over Azure.

Same with the Apple Watch. Sales were really rough for the first generation and their return rates were mocked widely, including by me.

Now, practically everyone is wearing an Apple Watch, including me.
If you already know next.js you can very quickly throw together internal things too.

To me, it's about finding the right level of abstraction. At some point we developers have to trust that the underlying system will do what it says it's going to do.

Is this true of Apple Silicon Macs? From my memory, Intel Macs did the normal Intel frequency scaling stuff, but perhaps I've got that wrong.
When the iPad came out, people actually mostly said it was just a big iPhone.

It is, in fact, pretty much still just a big iPhone.

It turns out that's enough for a lot of people.
> When iPad came out plenty of people had the notion that "no one really needs that, it's just a toy".

Remember the iPad Mini? People were calling full-size the "Maxi iPad".

That's the phase that we're in right now. The utility isn't quite there, but the promise is.

These days I use my iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard as my primary web interface. That wasn't possible at first, but if you looked at the product with the future in mind, it was forseeable.
< The folks that do tend to populate the open job market often have one or more dysfunctions that make it hard for them to slot into the corporate job market,

I think the set of people employed at corporations provides overwhelming evidence against this.
The change seemed to come a few years earlier than that, by my reckoning; the launch of Google Plus was clearly a fear-driven reaction against the growth of Facebook, and that felt like a real departure from their previous attitude of sunny, generous optimism.
We talked about the dating-app analogy a LOT, and I think it goes quite deep. It applies to almost all competitive markets, especially matchmaking ones.

> I would say the problem is the efficiency of negotiating a fair term because both parties are not incentivized to go to a public auction, hence no market price.

Are you referring specifically to salary negotiation here? I think this is one of the things that makes a trusted intermediary useful.

During signup, or during an initial recruiter call with candidates, I ask about salary with the following script:

> Okay, what are your salary expectations? To be clear, I will NOT share this with clients unless you tell me that I can. This is just so we know what jobs you might be interested in - the only thing we'll communicate is whether you match a client's salary range or not and vice-versa.

While I doubt the incentives here align to perfect honesty, it's certainly a lot better than the background, in that each side gets information on the other only after revealing semi-honest preferences used to match them.

> For the subpar tier, the problem is less so the efficiency of the matching process (this still is part of the problem), but more so a cost-effect analysis: is it worth throwing X amount of resources to filter a huge pool of unknown quality candidates?

Yeah, this is where the pitch about centralization - the main pitch I want to make with Otherbranch, since I think the full background-blind pitch was overselling things - comes in. There's some threshold where the cost-benefit analysis is neutral for companies, in the sense that there is 0 expected value to the next marginal candidate. But if we're effectively interviewing for more than one company, that threshold is lower for us, because the cost is similar and the benefit is higher.

I don't expect we're going to be able to get a mediocre developer with a mediocre resume an amazing job. I'm not really trying to do that. I'm trying to get an amazing developer with a mediocre resume an amazing job, or a good eveloper with a mediocre resume a good job - one better than they could have gotten on their own.
> and they will not need to work ever again

Maybe not washing dishes, laying bricks or constructing houses, but there will always be work. Things will continue to get cheaper (and better), but they will always take _some_ human effort to make. (And we'll always find new things we want.)
It's what surveys are showing. Why would they lie?
> when compared against other 4b and 8b parameter models I would genuinely champion the quality of their responses

You clearly have some very specific models in mind. Even if the latest 4B and 8B models don’t move the needle on the “results you would champion” metric, this does not advance your argument that the state of the art hasn’t significantly progressed from 5 years ago.

> I would legitimately argue

I’ll bet you would!

Many public services used to be great. Then private companies spent decades lobbying to have their funding cut or hamstring them in some other way so they could come in and privatize the market.

The USPS is probably the last good functioning service and Trump made huge budget cuts to try the same thing with that.
For other stores the online price might be different from the in-store price. But I think for Safeway, the online price is the same as the in-store price (which is why the webpage says "Shopping at <address>").

You could speculate in both directions, and test three revisions in parallel... However, if there's a lot of manual merging to do, you might not want to do the extra merge that's involved there. You might also get nerd sniped into figuring out if there's a better pattern if you're going to test multiple revisions in parallel.
That's something I haven't explored, sounds interesting. Right now, the zip file contains a mirror of the files found on the website when loaded in a browser. I've ended with a zip file by luck, as mirroring to the file system gives predictable problems with file/folder names.
Zune came out about 5 years after the iPod. It was a competitor, but only later and didn't impede the early iPod adoption rate.

There may be some cross-purpose there.

Checking the definition [1], the approach is like how *nix patterns its tooling. This may not be a good approach for all projects.

This is a professional project, rather than an academic one. And so one of the difficulties is catch-22 of working in a professional setting:

1) Everyone is using approach X.
2) The community that surrounds "Everyone" optimizes products/services to support X.
3) It's hard to do anything but X, as products/services for other things are rare (and expensive).

And so, if you're looking for something else beyond what's fashionable, do you have enough budget and political capital to experiment? If not, then you may have to adapt existing tooling to your project, despite the inefficiencies of doing so.

> So what gives us the right to claim responsibility for our victories? Do we ever truly win? Or do we just get lucky sometimes?

> Bad breaks are inevitable, but good judgment is always rewarded (eventually, and given enough chances.)

This assumes that everyone is on a level playing field with only non-compounding randomness preventing the better player from winning. But as you point out, luck does compound over time:

>The parents we’re born to, societal power structures... so many past events have an invisible impact on each new action we take

This is commonly known as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and to economists as the Matthew Effect[1].

You could try to model this in the game by having wins skew the odds of the next game in your favor. It's harder to model in a simple two person game like this... You have to persist state for a population of players over time.

I've wanted to publish alternate rules for Monopoly, where at the start of the game players don't get the same amount of cash. Cash is instead distributed according to real statistics for "birth wealth". Alternatively, your cash at the end of a game roles over into the next game.

I'd love to discuss this with you if you are interested. We might even collaborate on a future project.

Seems like they waited until they could do what Craig said of an iPad calculator app in 2020, “There’s some things that we have not done because we would want to do something really distinctly great in that space,” the Apple VP explained. “We want to do it when we can do it really, really well. And we honestly just haven’t gotten around to doing it great.”

Which can in turn be automatically parsed and pull the data into said document. So when Google decides that the mail/workspace account is banned for whatever reason they deem, you don't lose the content, you just change the automation tool to the new e-mail address (and inform relatives about the new e-mail as well).

That’s Ghibli though. The company that somehow can do Disney style mass appeal and contemplative art films, often at the same time.

Gainax makes fantastic, often quite out there, shows that play with anime tropes. Their addressable market is people who are already at least somewhat anime fans.
I'm not insinuating. I'm asking.

It's a pretty reasonable question for both of them. Perhaps more for the CFO, given what we know of Altman's, er, lack of candour with the board where money is concerned. But maybe given the "Her" debate it applies to both of them, in different ways.

My employer is already paying payroll tax on my behalf so why not just pay more of it and lower my salary to compensate?

I'm sorry for a personal off-topic rant, but if true this just makes me sad.
It was $499 for the 4GB version and $599 for the 8GB version, in 2007. That was about twice the price of the nearest competitor, BlackBerry.

The Vision Pro is about 6x the price of the Quest 3 - but it's targeted at a completely different vertical, that didn't even exist prior to the Vision Pro launch.

I'm bullish on it, but I totally get why others might not be. Only time will tell.
Yes gmail or google workspace has blocked accounts or domains in the past so I think it would be wise to store the .eml files too. just in case

My opinion is that private equity is the biggest scam of them all.

It’s essentially just money poured in unregulated markets, fueling unaudited businesses very often highly in debt and running on very shaky grounds, in such way that they could have never been listed publicly. The whole private equity sector is kept alive only by more money poured into system and more debt, in the end looking very similar to a pyramid scheme.
