I am certain I could, in fact I'd bet a lot on it. I'd have a hard time distinguishing AI generated images at this point, but earlier on there were major indicators. This tech is still primitive. The lyrics are dead giveaways, the tracks all sound blended together. A 5 second snippet of a song seems coherent, but the songs never go anywhere. If you listen to a lot of music, and have a decent pair of headphones, it's immediately obvious. Someone who makes music would be able to identify the specific flaws better than me.
Body mod practitioners will discover this technology and, naturally, teeth in earlobes and vagina dentata will eventually be realized.
Hey, thanks for the feedback!

For the sizing, try the grid size and counter text size options in the game settings. You can also change the grid dimensions to better fit your screen (or add some difficulty)!

Adding slide gestures is on the todos.

Also just shipped a fix to make multi-row selections impossible to make that more clear.

Thanks again
The only time I've paid close attention to a FIPS certification process, they forced us to substantially weaken the security posture of our product by making it easier for attackers to exfiltrate keys in certain circumstances (the product was designed to be run in trusted environments, and there were many less-theoretical attack vectors, but the FIPS process didn't care about those).

Anyway, it hasn't been a useful hurdle to jump over in my experience. At this point, if a system has a FIPS compliance mode, that lowers my opinion of its real-world security properties. If someone voluntarily insists on using FIPS-compliant stuff, I assume they're completely incompetent in all matters, professional and personal (that heuristic has worked for me 100% of the time).
Sure! I love talking about this stuff :) here's a few:

- if you want to manager your Package.swift target, you mostly have to deal with .target enum (can't figure out how to paste the URL)

You can really only do a define or unsafeFlags, which leads to a couple issues...

1) There's only Debug and Release configurations! What if you want more? What if you want a nice flow where you emit and consume pgo data and re-ingest it?

2) What if you want to use a define for another language managed by SPM, such as metal?

3) What if you want to put in a portable path into a linker argument? SPM blocks use of build-time environment variables, so you can't do that either.

All of these things seem contrived, but I ran into all three of them at my current job (shameless NanoFlick plug). All of these can be handled by cmake or xcodebuild (although probably better to use rules_xcodeproj).

- Swift compiler feedback and performance in builders is absolutely atrocious, to the point where binary searching a view to find the actual source of a type error over ~30 second build times isn't very unusual!

- It's very overly conservative with build times, and because there's only module-level import, it's very easy to accidentally have a long dependency chain which makes building one file imply building many files, further tanking your build time. There are some forum posts I can dig up on this if you're curious more on this point.

- POD structs are default-Sendable at module-level visibility, but lose that if they're public, which means if you try modularizing your app into different small packages to restore some notion of compilation units to fight against the above two points, you end up having to go around and mark all of your different classes with default protocols (usually just Sendable) to reimplement!

- Not a huge deal, but no way to have macro_rules! like you can in rust: macros are kinda hard to use and have to be in another package.

This is just my thoughts on tooling, I have many more thoughts about the language itself that I'd be happy to share.

Honestly though it's much better with vscode. I do hope that it makes progress in the right direction, Swift has a lot of things going for it!
There are many many reasons for war, not just because Putin wrote a fancy paper long ago about his aspirin, or because the drought in Crimea was costing Russia tons of money since they took over and had their water cut off or the falling population and economy that purposely did not reinvest properly to keep Putin in power.

Giving a simple answer is not wrong if the long one takes much longer to explain. Multiple factors can be true, I'm sure Russia was uneasy that Siberia wanted to leave and with Ukraine gone they would have no direct access to water there. And the threat of China slowing taking over Russian land *with Russian permission of course*. Russia has attempted to do something even if extremely poorly miscalculated. That's kinda what Russia is known for, doing something and very often failing at it.

They have been lucky, sometimes clever but often terrible truly terrible at long term long planning. Ask their unpatriotic AI what it thinks, they will get mad about it too.

It does exist. I experienced it interviewing for my current job and a previous job. But I do agree that it is probably rare.
Because it is not Rust.
Ya thinking of adding this. For the moment I just made it so operators can't be highlighted at all, making it more clear that it's the numbers that need to be tapped (since equations can't start or end with an operator)
Sometimes I am engaged to build software to integrate some systems together, and will simply configure or expose exisiting dashboards to the client. Usually the dashboard blows them away, and they can't believe they had this data all along. Integrations are necessary business operations but the stakeholders fucking love digestible data. It's a really easy value add.
Edit: I should say that I think a much more applicable use-case for something like this is passing in N papers and asking for synthesis, or to eliminate N-1, select the most relevant to a query, etc etc. what I am reacting to below is just the idea of asking for a summary of a single paper.

Maybe this is an aloof response, but I guess I struggle to see how this ”tool” (putting that in quotes because it is just a DAG of prompts, which doesn’t quite rise to the level of ”tool” to me) actually helps someone as a researcher.

It seems like reading the title of a paper, the abstract and skimming the paper are such fundamental skills and not taking the small amount of time to do that yourself just makes you less effective as a researcher? I guess I can see the output of a graph like this being vaguely useful in terms of generating metadata for paper indexes and so on but piping the output to a human? Just seems like extra steps and not much time saved to me compared to reading with your own eyes.

Being able to process knowledge quickly will always be important, but I feel like this (or other similar summarization methods) would not actually help you do it quicker in a meaningful way, and in fact makes you slower at doing it on your own if you really come to solely rely on it.

Maybe I’m just being a boomer here (despite being about 30…)

Wanting to work for a company that doesn’t lose money is “pretty limiting”?

I also disagree with asking interviewers how much vacation they take in an unlimited PTO situation. Instead just ask, “What’s the limit?” Any company that offers an unlimited PTO policy should be able to answer this easily. The only objectively incorrect answer is “There is no limit.”
It actually is as simple as that. Well, if you could actually get funding. The number one problem with our legal system is that only the rich can afford to play. Before someone says, "but... public defenders", let me suggest that even a truly great lawyer (and many of the PDs I've known were) is going to have a hard time with a caseload approaching 200 files. On the civil side there's... nothing, at least since the LSC was cut to the bone back in the early 80s and put on a very short leash. So, although I'm all for eliminating all immunities, sovereign, absolute and qualified, that won't do a damn bit of good for ordinary people until free (because no one in the working or even middle class can afford a $1,000 emergency, let alone a pile up of legal fees at $200 per hour) representation is available for every and any legal matter. Once that's in place, you can set up your "light touch" triaging mechanism. Then if you also abolish all immunities, you might even get some justice.
Hey, thank you! Just added lives and zen game mode, as well as a timer+ game mode that's a bit more forgiving. Let me know if you notice any issues.

It's not "noble savage" to note that Native Americans domesticated numerous crops used globally today and that such domestication was a technological achievement, much like the domestication of the horse in central Eurasia or the cultivation of rice in Asia. It's basically the opposite idea: rather than being "naturally" in balance with nature, Native Americans figured it out the same way humans figured everything else, through trial and error, and at the cost of countless lives. It is closer to the stereotype to believe that Plains Indians had some kind of timeless way of life, instead of recognizing they occupied a temporary historical niche that lasted between the introduction of the horse and the near extinction of the buffalo. Introducing history to our understanding of Native American achievements and failures is the only way to treat them as equally human as every other culture.

Are we allowed to combine multiple tools including gpt-4 to solve this? E.g. a script that does image processing, passes the results to gpt, where gpt can invoke further runs of scripts using other tools?
HN has a diverse set of viewpoints. For any assertion one might make, there will be someone with the opposite viewpoint.

In addition to out-and-out opposition or agreement that sounds vaguely oppositional, a comment might call for a pedantic annotation, a tangential aside or book recommendation.
Having only worked for larger companies (RSU stage), I'm curious what the typical breakdown of founder to early employee to investor to later employee equity looks like. I'm sure it differs pretty wildly, but I'd love to know what a 'typical' case for mid-to-late-stage start up looks like.
If your competitor is much more well known AND your product is superior to theirs and you are at the beginning of your journey there is no downside. Using their name will help ppl get what you do and help you get in front of the right audience.

Once you are a more established company, though, you really need to be able to describe your offering and differentiation independently of other companies.
I feel for anyone living in the Bay Area without a very high-paying job, but I'm not sure I'm all that worried about the nation's marketing professionals' salaries, as problems go.

The participants of the study were recruited between 2009 - 2012, before most fake meat was a thing. Presumably it will get its own category in some future studies.

The other interesting thing is that soft drinks & confectionary were in the same category as packaged breads/buns. Are they so similar in terms of nutrition?

Hmm, I’ll be controversial. Twinned secondaries, i.e. secondaries tied to a primary, are almost always a give away to senior management and the buyer. (They’re frequently syndicated at double-digit spreads.)

If the company sucks, senior management gets cash back first while the investor gets top-of-stack liquidation preferences. If the company is doing great, the investor gets to buy stock at a price almost always lower than market.

They’re common in Silicon Valley, because they’re good for founders and the Board members. But they’re rare in public markets. The closest thing I can come up with is the current clusterfuck with Shari Redstone.

The final section setups up a contrast between the and now that is meant to help motivate you to read the book.

I don't see the section as particularly weak, it does exactly what it supposed to and it's argument is sufficiently strong for that purpose.

I would note that while you complained about the argument being weak, you didn't actually make any effort to edispute any of it.

If you found the topic interesting and wanted a deeper study of the topic, then thats great go do some research, I doubt nobody else has researched or written about it. Complaining that a book review isn't a scholarly article or a full essay isn't actually gonna get you any deeper understanding of the topic.
True. Altman said he *hopes* the quality improvement will be as much as 3.5 —-> 4.

The best startups have a concept which is summed up thusly:

“We all go to the pay window at the same time.”

It’s ok for founders to take a little bit of money off of the table if they extend that to their employees as well. Asymmetry is where things get weird.

I’ve seen many founders who got deep into the fundraising cycles without ever realizing they could take a cent out. VCs will constantly tell you to let it all ride, and sometimes that works out, but for most people, having a little bit of financial security while you’re trying to change the world is necessary.

The best startups figure out how to manage liquidity through financing in a way that aligns incentives, keeps the goalposts at the mission, while allowing their teams to thrive.

It’s about alignment. If everyone is pulling in the same direction you’re going to execute the vision. Whether you win in the startup lottery is up to the threads of fate, but alignment is the straightest path towards a result.

T-Mobile was the US branch of Deutsche Telekom at one point AFAIK. The one German guy I know said that basically the whole country gets fucked on pricing and bandwidth, and that American residential Internet is vastly superior. It's not implausible to imagine the shitty behavior from German telecom companies rubbing off on their US subsidiaries.

The factors IMO:

1) Lower entry barrier to software engineering (no need to learn about memory management, multi-threading, networking, etc.)

2) More resources for self-taught engineers

3) Coding camps

4) More STEM professionals changing fields

5) Remote workers

6) Immigration

7) More people see software engineering as a viable career

8) Generative AI

9) Higher interest rates

All QM interpretations are unfalsifiable. That's why they're interpretations.

In a different thread you wrote that "as you say, the MWI claims that in each branch of the wave function, the human experiences a single result of a measurement." But here you're saying that MWI makes a claim that contradicts that we observe measurements to have single results. MWI, just like Copenhagen, claims that we will observe measurements to have single results (but that we won't be able to predict in advance which result we will experience observing). MWI's predictions are exactly in alignment with what we observe, and makes no claim that in any way differs from the reality that we experience. If it did, then it would be falsifiable.

Rents are falling as well. It would probably be better for the Bay Area in the long term if both salaries and cost of living cooled down to be a little more sane and at least a little bit comparable to the rest of the country.

If I were to guess, a whole lot of the tech industry figured out that they don’t really need their employees to by physically located in the Bay Area and they can save a boatload on costs that way.

There used to be a benefit to having physical connection in an industry among professionals but I think that has been replaced by robust online chat software and comminities, dirt cheap flights for conferences and meetups, and other shifts away from the importance of physical presence.

Only a small percentage of tech companies raise a series A or beyond.

To me, this just seems like a capital-efficient alternative to the founder increasing their salary that could be negotiated. I had no such perception that this was some “secret” thing, I assumed it happened since you can do whatever you want if the investors and founders agree that it makes sense.
That's actually a lot more common than people assume it is, and comments like "I can't believe there are X points but only Y comments" are more common than you'd think they'd be as well!

My theory is that it's a sign of a good article, because more energy is going into reading it than into posting quick comments (which are usually less valuable comments). But I don't have the data.

Edit: well... we have the data (to test this), but it would be enough of a pain to do the analysis that other things will probably take precedence forever.
The title of the article is mostly clickbait. Anyone who's lived in SV for a decade or so knows this well. Startups are a scam unless you are a founder. They are a meat grinder that runs on naive young new college grads who buy into the bullshit that their options are worth anything.
You get Founder Liquidity because you managed to convince people who do just as much work that they couldn’t do just as much work without you. LOL
I am so cynical.
Correct. GCM is an improvement over ECB and CBC; it doesn't magically transform a symmetric algorithm into an asymmetric one. So most libraries are going to focus on the use cases where symmetric crypto makes sense, which are single-party scenarios such as disk storage. Google's Tink library, for example, completely hides the nonce parameter from its API.
Oh, I see, I misread. Thought it meant 0.6ms per output token. Now I get that it’s saying “prompt token”, so if your prompt is 100 tokens, that’s 60ms.

That seems pretty fast. 1.6k tokens for a 1s time. Do other models compare to that? I’m not sure what the current top ranking for this metric looks like.
The girl who went to grad school in Ireland had the right idea, partly. She says the work-life balance is better there, and she had an easy time finding a job. But then she says she'd like to come back "home" to California. The Bay Area isn't going to magically become affordable anytime soon, so her best course of action is to stay in Ireland, a place that has apparently welcomed her and given her an opportunity for a better life than what California offers. Ironic that 100 or so years ago, the roles were reversed.

If he watched this narrative for two decades, he’d know the dynamics. What he understood instead is the official media position of the day, in which the bad guy is the main actor. That is still impressive for a foreigner, but of no use. Even a half brained dog can see through it here if lived long enough. Sadly our population is heavily handicapped in this regard because it was never exposed to rational argument, which itself is (IMO) the root of all our evils. All our opposition always sucked at politics and literally died out. Good politicians don’t die.
> Salaries in the tech sector in the Bay Area decreased by 15%

This is most smaller satellites, but all satellites must pass a burn up evaluation by the FCC and FAA before getting permission to fly. We had trouble getting one of our satellites up because it had a steel vacuum chamber for mass spec, and the FCC argued the thickness of the walls and materials used (steel) made it too difficult to burn up
