Something for those who are disabled and collect Social Security Disability (aka green check) or Social Security Income (gold check) and is pretty much mostly young and pre-retirement-age disabled folks: if your income goes over half of what you take in from Social Security, your eligibility will be "threaten" and re-evaluation WILL occur, often with reducing benefits until you earn twice what SSA gives you.

So, if the job doesn't pan out, you are going to be in a rather severe financial bind for quite a awhile until those re-applied benefit(s) restarts for you.

Hence, many disabled are looking for work that do not pay more than $800-1200/month (USD) ... just to avoid their re-evaluation trigger.
I'm not taking a particular stance on the JEP. I am not sure what is being cherry picked. The comment explicitly called out the customers for creating antihelpful noise. In my eyes, that tells me there is deep value misalignment between the involved parties, which is worth reflecting on.
I suppose that’s another way of saying we’re seeing controversial advances in science.
You haven't addressed the legal issue. Courts have generally found DoS attacks to be a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1030, which doesn't apply to the issues in this article. So, which law has Meta broken? Please to provide a specific citation.

But from a political standpoint I completely support AGs making public statements about anti-consumer behavior. There's nothing wrong with calling out Meta for being jerks.
Yeah... and the people that commit suicide in the parking lots waiting on help? They are chopped liver? They don't matter.

"it's not perfect" It's garbage and a prime example of government programs. Works for a few and fucks over the rest.

The ACA helps a few... and is built on lies - keep your plan? keep your doctor? save $2500 a year? Lies, lies, lies... a few million get help. The other 100m pay more, higher deductibles, lose their plans, lose their doctors.

But who cares about the 100m if the 1m get helped, eh?

the biggest problem is the wasted money, the lies and the people dying in the parking lots.

But who gives a f' about them eh?
LinkedIn has an agenda to push, for sure. Screw that website.

As for the, "if you're clocked in, you should be working," that would mean in-office employees are working 100% of the time they're clocked in. Have them prove that this is the case.

Then look at productivity during the pandemic vs now and let then explain how WFH hampered those numbers.

Just a ridiculous mindset by boomers who should have retired a decade ago.
> state has to mandate that systemic companies (>100M users or X $B in revenues) have to have high quality customer service at cost

Revenues might be a better measure. Otherwise, sites like Wikipedia would have to block themselves to comply.
Especially with AV1, 10 bit color can lead to a cleaner image with fewer bits than 8 bit. The quantization tables mean that you don't have to store the 10 bit info for the high frequency parts, but just having it available makes things like I frames work better (because randomly shifting blocky output is a worse predictor than the underlying smooth signal).
FAIR's Chameleon Early Fusion Code
The weights haven't been published yet, but the presence of a HuggingFace link is very promising. The most interesting part - the architecture - is in `chameleon/viewer/backend/models/chameleon_local.py`: https://github.com/facebookresearch/chameleon/blob/main/cham...
My reading of GP was that it makes it worse because it means there's much less financial reason to avoid making accommodations - which would be somewhat understandable - and that implies they're doing so for other reasons.
Some very fair points! I think there's more warts in Rust than just these, but if indeed Rust can be incorporated into Linux sanely and productively, I think it will be a net positive.

I respectfully disagree on the Haskell front. C is a significantly better known language then Rust, but you're advocating for Rust due to certain memory guarantees it provides. I think a similar argument can be made for languages like Haskell, and the formal mathematical guarantees they provide. Interestingly, Haskell was the language used to prototype seL4, which was then rewritten in C for performance, but the logic of the original Haskell implementation was used to formally verify parts of the later C one.[0] Imho, Rust is a (fantastic) attempt to make Algolians safer, but strictly functional languages like Haskell obviate many of the issues of Algolian languages in the first place.

On your last point, I'm unsure there's really much interest in making the next Linux, outside major corps who bristle at the GPL - e.g. Google's Zircon, notably written in C and C++ and first deployed in 2021. I think kernel dev largely divides into two camps: (i) hobbyist / academic kernels, which will be a homecoming parade of languages and designs (and rightly so); and (ii) production kernels, of which there are very few, written in C and C-likes, and conservative by design. Anything too new and unusual should probably prove its mettle in the former group before it graduates into the latter.

Ivan Sutherland is still doing active research! I saw a great talk he gave last year on quantum flux circuits. He politely refuses to talk about graphics anymore, which (as a graphics person myself) is kind-of awesome.
All of this talk about subsidies is very confusing.

The US issues massive subsidies every year, most going to the petroleum industry, with farming another major recipient.

Are subsidies only a problem when some other country issues them?

And if many US residents could be driving a fully electric vehicle becuase China subsidised it's industry, that sounds like a good thing to me.

The issue of vehicles exfiltrating data is not unique to china. All data gathering should be outlawed, for all industries, not just automotive, and not just china.
On the non-coding side, I’m seeing lots of docs with sections blatantly copy pasted from ChatGPT.

'Make work' because in a country without a well developed transportation system healthcare decides you shouldn't just 'not get treatment' when you can't drive? Kind of a heartless take. Especially considering those in treatment are the most likely people to not be able to drive outside of minors.

If anythings sounds like you should direct condemnation at our lack of functional community transportation systems not the limited tools the medical system has to account for it.

I am so grateful that there are programs in the USA that can get people to treatments. When my mother was dying of cancer and could no longer drive it wasn't always possible to get her to appointments. Luckily she was able to utilize community transportation. I think without it she might have given up on going to the support group she loved so much just because she wouldn't have wanted to burden others to drive her that often.
GraphQL is very powerful when combined with Relay. It’s useless extra bloat if you just use it like REST.

The difference between the two technologies is that LangChain was developed and funded before anyone know what to do with LLMs and GraphQL was internal tooling using to solve a real problem at Meta.

In a lot of ways, LangChain is a poor abstraction because the layer it’s abstracting was (and still is) in it’s infancy.
A popular model is delayed source code release, so new features are developed on a private branch and binary releases, along with the code, and made available to supporters and then after X weeks merged into the main branch. Not sure how this would work with GPL3.

Tor Browser 13.5 is released
In pre-Covid times didn't companies face this same insurmountable hardship when opening a second location? What do you call your co-worker that works in a different office if not "remote"?

I get that some people really like working in close proximity with others even if their job doesn't really require it - but this really seems to be the case of controlling employers demanding their troops trudge into to an office to demonstrate their value in person - pandemic or disability (or just the general annoyance of commuting to work and all that that entails) be damned.
This sounds like a jobs plan!

Not sure what you're saying, can you elaborate?
There's a definition in the law of "addictive feed" that (cleaning up some of the obtuse terminology) boils down to:

"user-generated content, sorted or displayed in any user-specific manner except if that manner is one of the following:

* transient and not based on user's interaction with content

* an accessibility option

* user's subscribed list (assuming that subsort/subfiltering also independently complies with these rules)

* user's follow or block list (again assuming subsort/subfiltering also independently complies)

* DMs

* response to a search query

* author's explicit ordering for content

* anything we the state make you do"

By my reading, HN qualifies, as does any site that has a "threads you replied to" page, because it doesn't quite fit any of the categories (although there is an argument that it's a "response to a specific search inquiry).

> Haha, I think you have mildly violated your own rule 2!

Yeah, but just a little though! (Plus, I got the beetus so I get a little slack right? Lol).

But yeah, potatoes are a really fun one. I think French fries are going to be the more common way potatoes get consumed in the US and in my experience it's almost always a side for a high fat main course. I'd wager it's these exact complex scenarios that lead Doctors to just avoid trying to explain the nuance to diabetics and instead just have a blanket policy of "stay away from it".

I mean, after a decade with the disease (I didn't catch it until I was in my mid 20's so I didn't grow up learning the stuff), I have not had a single doctor and had exactly 1 Nurse Practitioner actually bring up fiber and its role in calculating insulin boluses before meals.

All that said, I'm going to break rule 2 for real and declare Pizza to be the most evil food ever from a diabetic standpoint. Starches in the dough, sugars from all the tomato sauce, tons of fats and proteins from the cheese and meats, I honestly don't think I will ever be able to accurately predict how a couple slices of Pizza will decide to break down on a given day lmao.

I’ve found that junior devs can be incredibly creative and produce seemingly high-level code that they don’t fully understand. Results are often bad because they didn’t consider tradeoffs but still, pretty interesting code. Even before LLMs were a thing, so I wouldn’t attribute it to ChatGPT.
Fair point. I'd edit my comment to include this fact but I can't.

If you get into an accident, it takes months to get your parts to fix it. What makes it worse is that most car rental contracts via insurance will only cover up to 30 days, so you end up being on the hook for the car rental. This happened to me last year this time, I lost the car for the entire summer which was frustrating.
> Are subsidies only a problem when some other country issues them?

No. There is a whole subsidies agreement for World Trade Organization member parties. https://www.trade.gov/trade-guide-wto-subsidies

Basically, there are prohibited subsidies and actionable subsidies, and the response is that countries can enact various tariffs against incoming goods. It's a whole mess of international relations. The idea is that companies compete globally on a level playing field to produce products for the global market. This is imperfect, of course, but that is the goal.
Does anyone else not understand the hype with AI generated code? I almost never use AI at $DAYJOB; only for "search engine" type tasks where I'm looking for an answer or perspective on something that's hard to search for with google - not code generation.

Feels like more of a fight with the AI and less time thinking about the bigger picture of the changes being made (e.g. systems involved, business considerations, documentation, etc..)
Perhaps a case of over-engineering?
ORMs are useful though for a different reason. They let you creat typed objects then generate the schema from them and automatically create a lot of boilerplate SQL for you.

Admittedly for anything more than 1-2 joins you are better off hand crafting the SQL. But that is the exception not the rule.

Refactoring DB changes becomes easier, you have a history of migrations for free, DDL generation for free.

In the early 2000 I worked where people handcrafted SQL for every little query for 100 tables and yeah you end up with inconsistent APIs and bugs that are eliminated by code generation / meta programming done by ORMs.
In general I’ve found watchexec super useful since you can wire together arbitrary build steps, which once they get to unwieldy or ossified go into a just file.
The entire US business culture, which extends deeply into US culture as a whole, puts employers over employees at almost every turn. What protections workers in the US do have, businesses try to circumvent all the time, not to mention many things, such as the ADA have no concrete definitions for things like what a reasonable accommodation must be (they do have examples of generally accepted things, but it isn't a decree) which allows for all kinds of ways of non compliance.

Not to mention, its unfortunately common that exercising any rights workers have will often work against you, being passed up for promotions etc.

Its strange how much power we give employers over employees, and how regular people defend this, even when its actively working against them.
If this is the way things go, the govt had better follow its own rules first with the IRS support systems.

Evaluating technology based on its "cool kid usage" and a vague sense of complexity is likely not the best strategy. Perhaps instead you could ask "what problems does this solve/create?"
Parents, full design specs, and repair documentation are three very different things.
It was the first pass at solving the common problems when building with LLMs. People jumped on it because it was trendy and popular.

But it quickly became obvious that LangChain would be better named LangSpaghetti.

That’s nothing against the authors. What are the chances the first attempt at solving a problem is successful? They should be commended for shipping quickly and raising money on top of it to keep iterating.

The mistake of LangChain is that they doubled down on the bad abstraction. They should have been iterating by exploring different approaches to solving the problem, not by adding even more complexity to their first attempt.
Conservative views are things that worked in the past though. For profit entities are all dedicated to satisfying the needs and wants of people and are part of society too. >90% of all the gains since the industrial revolution came from for-profit entities so it is a stretch to say they are biased in favour of making things worse. Minorities are, by definition, not a group that includes most people so things can get really brutal for them before it starts hurting the greater society.

These are all biases that may be politically undesirable to you (the corporate media are basically the vanguard of class warfare, so they should be undesirable to a bunch of people), but they aren't biased in the direction of making things worse at the highest level of abstraction. A rising tide benefits all ships.

>You are deluding yourself if you think none of your employees are using their personal phones to talk to each other, or that groups of employees don't gather in personal Discords and chat app groups.

I used to think the same, until I started working at the place I'm currently at. You can see our pricing model in the post I made here[1].

Thing is, while we might be able to provide a "sticker price" on our webpage that would fit the smallest customers, it wouldn't for anyone larger.

For example, our product has a lot of modules (over 20), and you pay per module. Unless you've worked with our product before, you have little to no idea which modules you need. Best is to give us a call, explain your daily operation and we can then tell you which modules you need and give you some options on which modules you might benefit from additionally.

Anyone but the smallest customers also has some integration. Largest ones have a lot. Do you require a custom integration or can you use our standard integrations? It doesn't help that you run say SAP on your other system, as no two SAPs are the same. Perhaps our standard integration can cover your needs, perhaps not. Similar for a lot of other systems we integrate with.

We have tons of small customers, including many single-employee shops, up to the biggest fish in our pond. There's some variation in pricing between customers through negotiation, but not a lot. It's just that customers have quite varied needs.

Canadian (Toronto) English speaker, although I’ve lived in the US (NYC and Seattle) for a while and it probably rubbed off on me.

To me they sound pretty much same if you’re very consciously saying the words as units, in isolation, “trying to pronounce them”.

If I say them a little more casually, though, the sounds that come out of my mouth are a little bit closer to “haam” and “hmster” - the vowel sound definitely gets emphasized in the former case and clipped almost entirely in the latter case.

It’s really easy to trick yourself into thinking you’re saying a word “properly” unless you’re very very conscious of the sounds you’re producing. As a Canadian, I know this - the stereotype Americans have of the Canadian accent is exaggerated, and it’s much stronger in rural areas, to the extent that I didn’t really think I sounded any different to the Americans in TV or movies. But Americans could still pretty quickly tell I was Canadian when I moved down there. The word “about” is one of the canonical tells, and although I don’t say “aboot” or anything, I learned that I do really say it in an accented way. It wouldn’t be apparent if you just asked me to pronounce the word, but in a sentence my mouth would gloss over the vowels, saying something more like “abut”.

I don't know about SSI, but this isn't accurate for SSDI.

For SSDI, if your earned income is more than $1110 in a month (for 2024), then you consume one of your 9 trial work months. That $1110 threshold is regardless of your SSDI payment amount and it is adjusted annually. The trial work months are to allow disabled persons to attempt to return to the workforce without risking losing their social security benefits if it proves unsustainable for them.

(The specifics are a little more complicated than what I've described.)

It's only inertia that makes 'remote' not default in this technological age.

Of course some prefer the office (some of whom from their own inertia), some jobs genuinely need to be or benefit from being done in a shared office space, but for the absolute vast majority of roles the office was always about needing to pass paper documents around, or needing expensive and fixed equipment that is a telephone line or computer.
I’ve been coding over 20 years. I’m guilty. But I’ve also learned that for most domains it doesn’t really matter if you understand the code, if it work, it works. Of course you have to watch for security and safety issues. Maybe ask an llm to explain the code under review?
