My experience learning French basically. I'd say understanding where one word ends and another starts was much easier for English and German. On paper I was able to grasp the rough meaning very quickly thanks to vocabulary shared with English and Latin, but listening took a year: I was facing a solid wall of sound, no cracks.

Neither PHP nor were the result of research done at UWaterloo, which is what I think they were going for here. That and showing off startups founded by multiple Waterloo students to emphasize the networking a person could do there.
I work with a variety of small companies (5-25 FTEs) that are increasingly facing strict MFA requirements in order to maintain insurance. SSO isn’t an explicit requirement, but there are a myriad of general access requirements that they struggle to follow without some level of centralization via federated identity/SSO.
Ruffled feathers, apparently.

> Question 1, as the measure was called on the ballot, will force car manufacturers to ensure independent repair stores have access to the same diagnostic tools as manufacturer run repair stores. That will change the automobile repair landscape in Massachusetts, especially for Tesla, a notoriously secretive company that has made it hard and expensive to service its electric vehicles.

> Tesla has pushed back against these kinds of laws before. A similar law passed in 2012, one that said dealerships had to make service manuals and diagnostic information available to repair stores. Notably, Tesla also wasn't part of a memorandum of understanding signed by car manufacturers nationwide that effectively made the Massachusetts legislation a national law.

> But Tesla did make some information available. “Out of the kindness of their heart, they made a portal so that you could log in and access their diagnostics,” Benoit said. “It’s available, but it’s only available to Tesla certified shops.”

Service manuals free of charge. I was wrong, though, 24 hours, not one:

> The Tesla Service and Repair Information Portal allows body shops to sign up and get certified for “complimentary account access.” Anyone else looking to get repair and diagnostic information out of Tesla has to pay for a subscription. $100 buys you 24 hours of access. An annual subscription costs $3,000.

> Tesla has also repeatedly, for example, used software to lock consumers out of certain aspects of their cars. Tesla has also fought against independent repair companies, and has at times refused to certify them.

So while things may be better now (great!), it's revisionist to think they've always been that way.

> Tesla was outspoken in opposing Massachusetts’ auto right to repair law last November. The story this week of Tesla’s $16,000 quote for a repair that an independent garage did for $700 suggests why.

> The company sent a letter to its Massachusetts customers urging them to vote against Question 1, arguing - without evidence - that the measure would open vehicles to cyber attacks.
Some of us prefer to enjoy sex as a beautiful act of human connection and condoms detract from being in the moment of joy.

What happened to the generating training data hype train?
I have a high-end DIY Linux desktop and a base model M1 Air that I got for $750. I think it’s a good pairing. The laptop works well as sort of a thin client to the desktop for real work. If I didn’t have the desktop I’d definitely want more RAM, and probably a machine with a fan. Despite what many people say, I’ve had no trouble getting it to run OOM or start thermal throttling.

I wanted to try a Linux laptop, but in the end I felt having a ton of battery life was ultimately my top priority when away from my desk. I don’t much care for what Apple is doing with MacOS, but their hardware really is great.
You missed the point. There is no “middle class.” There is the proletariat and bourgeoisie.

> They don’t make storage chips or RAM chips

They use 3rd party NAND and DRAM but the controllers for each are part of their custom SoC (along with their CPU and GPU) and things are a little bit different than how anyone else does it with integrated solutions as a result. I believe the USB/thunderbolt are part of their custom SoC too. Some of the microcontrollers for other functionality (secure enclave, camera/microphone processors, touchpad and the like) are outside the SoC but custom. Wi-Fi is still a standard Broadcom chip, for now at least :).

It's somewhat disappointing how much cool customer hardware is limited to just Apple products to be honest.
Reread the thread and the comment. It's about the LLM frameworks and acknowledges that most non LLM frameworks historically are helpful and correct in abstracting away details.
The parent made a claim about the aggregate rate and its trend. You asserted that this claim is false and then provided a citation that is irrelevant and contains nothing to debunk the original claim (which appears to be true based on BLS data).

You're now trying to change the terms of your original disagreement to be about the tech sector alone. This is fine, I guess, but I would really appreciated it if this conversation would provide actual data instead of an anecdote from a single firm that may or may not be representative of the broader trend.
This is hyperbole and not reflective of what I was saying or what the citations lay out as facts. Can you attack the argument instead of putting words into my mouth?

Yes; exactly. There's value in a Schelling Point[0], and in a pattern language[1].

Yeah we’re kind of between. The M4 just appeared so it’s not there yet.

Rumor is the M3 chips were quite expensive due to the low yields on the new fab process so Apple didn’t seem to want to put them in their less popular computers/devices.

The M4 is on a different fab process. It’s the same feature size, but I don’t think it can run quite as fast. In exchange it’s much cheaper and cooler running. So an M4 sounds worth waiting for.

// At what point does "dystopia" become "utopia"?

So you think you can tell....Heaven from Hell :-) That is a very deep, and interesting question. For the general case, I don't know. Best I can do is pick one specific aspect of a "utopia."

E.g. The Chinese Social Credit system. I would love to benefit from doing random acts of kindness. And I would love to be able to punish bullies and assholes in a meaningful way, which had real impact on their lives.

But, whoever controlled that system would have a lot of power, and a lot of temptation to abuse that power. So much power that it's not a matter of if, but when and how often, that power would be abused. We have people, not angels, so the system would have to work even if it were run by people.

Without very robust checks-n-ballances to prevent abuse, and without robust methods of getting relief from that abuse, even the people who were benefitting from the system would be living in perpetual fear of losing their social credit, through no fault of their own, and finding themselves so encumbered by having no social credit that they would never be able to rebuild the life they had.

So yeah, maybe that's even a candidate for a partial answer to the general case. The system has to work even if it's run by people, not angels.
No way, AI wasn't on the radar back then.
I will always bring this up because I'm bitter.

They blocked my ads account before I had the chance to run my first ads with no provided reason and no actual way to dispute with a human being. It's houseplants, not drugs. And what's worse is that you can clearly see all kinds of scams and gambling ads running amok in the wild. Their detection and support systems are both abysmal.
Then I consider your perspective flawed.

A company that exists to make money for its owners, who do not materially participate in the operations of the company, is (for me) substantively and qualitatively different from worked-owned coops, consumer-owned coops, credit unions etc.

I'd be interested in a jurisdiction that does not make this distinction.
This makes me sad because not only did I get my current job through Hired, but I’ve also recruited several great software engineers through the platform.
This is indeed a problem. A really big problem.

But it is not the same problem profits being distributed to owners who do not materially participate in the operations of the company.
I think it was great at first when llms were new and prompting required more strategy. Now the amount of of abstractions/ bloat they have for essentially string wrappers makes no sense
That’s true. I wasn’t thinking of the custom controller, I forgot about it.

You’re right USB/TB interfaces are on the M3 (or whatever) directly.
Because English is a language that allows homonyms.
Those repair costs are astronomical.

Going 4 years on our Hyundai and we’ve literally only had to replace tires. Both of our prior vehicles, Chevys, only required tires and brakes outside of a single, major repair - melted catalytic converter. That would have been a $2k repair tops over respective 8 and 18 year life span of both of those vehicles.
Too costly for domestic production.
That's not even remotely what I asserted. I'm asserting even if I had all the time in the world the I can't fight the forces of billionaires creating ever more sophisticated tools of communication by training my children.
> Rather than educating founders on more fundamental topics such as how to get from 0-1, how to hire, fostering positive culture etc.

My experience is that none of these things actually matter anymore. I wish they did, but my experience has been that getting any of these things right in today's environment is in the best case inconsequential to success and in the worse an actual determent.

I've worked at horrifically toxic startup cultures, but it never seemed to hurt them getting funding from outside teams that didn't care in the slightest how healthy the org was or even the product was even remotely good for customers.

I've worked at companies that literally did not know how they were every going to make a profit IPO, then continue to fail to figure this out and changed their strategy to shrug-your-shoulder-and-wait-for-the-return-of-zirp, with no observable consequences on their stock price or investor support for years. Maybe this will eventually catch up to them, but so far they've been quite successful burning a dollar to make $0.70.

I've worked at companies that hired hundreds of completely useless data scientist, filled management with toxic management consultants, driven out all the serious talent they had... with again, no real consequences.

And all of the companies I've known that checked all of your bullet points? Well they've mostly stayed small, saw revenue decline, and eventually start falling apart. All of the best companies I've worked for ended up having to get rid of all the things that made them good in order to appease investors and keep growing.

I wish that we lived in a world where your advice was correct, but I haven't seen any evidence that that is the world we actually inhabit.

I work for an Enterprise SaaS company who has a "Contact Us" pricing and fully agree with the sentiment. This is how it was explained to me:

* Since we sell mainly to Enterprise they all have procurement people who get measured on how much money they save - with some getting crazy bonuses if they can "save" 50%. So we needed to keep the price inflated by 50% until it gets to them so they can "twist our arm" down to the real price to show their value.

* And if a procurement person can get that 50% off our competitor such that the deal with them makes them look better they'll pick them instead.

* And when we used to put that 2X the real price price on our website some people wouldn't know to twist our arm for the discount and instead just thought we were too expensive. It was also abused by our competitors who were all "Contact Us" to make out they were cheaper than us without giving us the chance to compete.

So instead we do this stupid dance that I hate where we can't even tell the real price to the people in the early meetings (keeping that for procurement at the end of the process) - and we have to do all this fishing to find out who else they are looking at and what their price is that we have to beat before giving them our price. The entire purpose of our Sales Execs is to do this dance to decide whether to give a price and which price they tell to various people at the various stages as far as I can tell - though they actually are pretty good at it...

I came from Amazon where the price was public as were the mechanisms to lower it through various types of commitment so I found the whole thing ridiculous. I have since learned that everybody does it this way and this seems to be the reason. I argued "maybe if we are the one who doesn't in our space then we'll get more business for being the easiest one to deal with?" but I was assured that was not the case and it would just mean procurement people would want 50% off our best price instead...

I've got to resist the temptation to go on about Reich again but he's one of the more fascinating characters for sure: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que..., and his influence is greater than people realize. He hasn't been written out of history completely, but he's in limbo, probably because of the many taboos he broke.

I mean the way to fix it is to recognise that its absolutely cool to train AI on publicly available knowledge. Like its not a sin.

Maybe it comes from growing up with google hoovering up the internet, file sharing becoming common place and image boards making sharing copyrighted photos as reaction images the done thing. But I already feel like I own the sum total of human knowledge. I dont recognise sony or disney or the US government as valid inheritors or controllers of information. Its mine. And if there's a set of tools that can chew on that data to make new or interesting or collated or curated data then that just makes more data that I own. I own your art. I own your code. I own your stack overflow answers. I own every film and tv show and book from human history. And if that common ownership isn't the end goal then I dont know what is.

> I think it's totally reasonable for a program designed in 2024 to say it only supports ASCII and UTF-8 encodings.

I think that it should depends on the program; that might be reasonable for some programs but in a lot of cases I think that it won't be reasonable. (Your explanation includes some of the examples, although not all of them.)

Sometimes, it is most helpful to support only ASCII (although non-ASCII bytes might still be supported, even without needing special processing to handle them; in some cases this may effectively allow other ASCII-compatible encodings as well such as EUC-JP).

Sometimes, a program should not need to deal with character encoding at all.

Sometimes, it makes sense to deal with whatever character encodings are used in the file formats the program is designed to handle.

Sometimes, it makes sense to support multiple character encodings, with or without conversion (depending on what is being done with them).

Even if a program does only support ASCII and UTF-8 encodings, then depending on what it does with them, mentioning ASCII might be unnecessary since UTF-8 is a superset of ASCII anyways.

But unfortunately many programs use UTF-8 (or other encodings, but mostly UTF-8) where it is inappropriate to do so, which can result in many problems including inefficiency.
the short answer is no one knows (yet). if/once it gets approval, there likely would be a followup study on how much you can stretch the timing (possibly with dosage variation)

"Extract vocal, accompaniment and various instruments from any audio and video"
I have a Framework 16 and an 16" M1 MacBook Pro. The Framework 16 has just been a toy to mess around with on the side for me because the MacBook Pro is just so much better:

- The difference in battery life between the two is ridiculous. Even with a battery that's fairly degraded from all the charge cycles I've put it through, the MacBook still lasts 3-4 times as long under the same workloads
- The quality of the touchpad experience is vastly better on the MacBook, especially because of the excellent haptics (like it's almost magical how much it feels like you're clicking a physical button despite there not being one)
- The audio quality from the built in speakers is no contest between the two, the Framework simply sounds like crap
- The fans of the Framework seem to be necessary far more often and are whinier sounding than the ones on the MacBook
- The display on the Framework doesn't look as good, even when calibrated (I haven't been able to figure out if this is just due to me comparing matte vs glossy here though)

The Framework's repairability, modularity, and openness just aren't enough for me to overlook all the negatives. I love and support the goals of Framework and I hope they find ways to improve to the point where it will be easier to choose their laptops over a MacBook.
