Perhaps, but I see a similar pattern in the UK where there have been many competing options for a long time. ~20 years ago it was common to have Indian, Chinese, Fish & Chips, Kebabs, and Pizza available for delivery in most areas, often multiple of each. I'm not familiar with the US market but it sounds like Pizza was more common?

Based on this my guess is that it's less about the competition and more about the middleman taking a cut.

If you discount the conspiracy theories, the normal reason for these types of deals is the DOJ does not feel confident they would actually win their case.

The deal essentially measures how likely each party feels that they can win.
Really good stuff. On the ground, in the weeds data collection and collation like this is sadly often thankless (and poorly funded) work, but it's a huge force multiplier to downstream research and should always be commended.
Seems like it would be better to go to trial even if they are not convinced the jury will convict. It's in the publics interest to have all the information out there instead of swept under the rug

Ask HN: LeetCode vs. Scenario-Based Interview Questions – what's your take?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on different styles of technical interview questions. Specifically:

- LeetCode-style algorithmic puzzles and data structure problems
- Scenario-based questions that simulate real-world situations (allowed to use the internet), like:
-- Tracing a slow API response
-- Identify possible causes of the intermittent failures
-- Front-end Rendering Issue

Which do you think is more effective for assessing candidates?
What are the pros and cons of each in your experience?

I'd love to hear from both interviewers and interviewees:
- Which style do you prefer and why?
- How well do these align with actual day-to-day work?
- Any suggestions for improving the tech interview process overall?
I'm hardly an investment expert, but I wouldn't expect anything to change on the market unless people are actually cancelling orders en masse. If I'm recalling correctly, they're basically already booked solid for the next decade or so.

That leaves a lot of time for them to worry about booking new sales before it becomes an issue.

I couldn't find an easy answer to whether or not that's already happened, though (order cancellations out of the norm).
Wait, so then what happened? Why did they withdraw, or get banned?
I'm in Australia and the only thing I ever remember being able to get delivered, prior to VC funded delivery companies, was pizza. I guess in the UK (at least in cities) they were big and dense enough to support it but it's never really seemed feasible, at least in my city.

If most queries take ~ 1s on a relatively small 80MB dataset, then it sounds to me like they really needed to run EXPLAIN on their most complex queries and then tune their indexes to match.

They could have probably stayed with SQLite, in fact, because most likely it's a serious indexing problem, and then found a better way to distribute the 80MB file rather than committing it to Github. (Although there are worse ideas, esp with LFS)
This article is about incorrect understanding by engineers and scientists of how different materials, in different conditions, behave during reentry:

“"During its initial design, the Dragon spacecraft trunk was evaluated for reentry breakup and was predicted to burn up fully," NASA said in a statement. "The information from the debris recovery provides an opportunity for teams to improve debris modeling. NASA and SpaceX will continue exploring additional solutions as we learn from the discovered debris."”

and

“These incidents highlight an urgency for more research into what happens when a spacecraft makes an uncontrolled reentry into the atmosphere, according to engineers from the Aerospace Corporation”.

The inclusion at the end of the article about how low the risk of space debris injuring an individual serves to tell the reader space debris hitting them is not something they need to worry about. Again, this is about experts updating and improving their models, especially as the number of space launches grows dramatically, sometimes using novel materials.

I agree people are generally very bad at understanding the relationships among probabilities, hazards, and risks. But this article cites multiple, independent experts, and specifically highlights how this is not a problem of you getting hit by space debris, which is quite anti-clickbait.

Show HN: Standardizing build, experiment, and deployment for LLM Development
*Motivation*

Hi hackers, I'm Asif. I know we dislike premature standardization, but hear me out. LLM Application development is extremely iterative, more so than most other types of application development. We need a process that allows us to iterate faster. LLM Development is highly iterative due to the activities that come with regular software development, as well as the need to make the LLM Application accurate and reduce hallucination. To improve hallucination, we need to trial and error various combinations of LLM models, prompt templates (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought), prompt context with different RAG architecture, and possibly try multi-agent architecture. There are thousands of permutations to try, and we want to be able to easily experiment with different permutations and have a process to objectively judge LLM performance so we can iteratively move towards accuracy goals.

*Solution*

I have been working in AI since 2021 - first at FAANG with ML, then with LLM in start-ups since early 2023. I have had the chance to talk with many different companies that have been successful and unsuccessful with AI development. Using my learnings, I am working on an Open Source framework to standardize the build, experiment, and deploy process for LLM Development. The goal of this framework is to optimize for rapid iteration.

We are doing this by enforcing a modular LLM application layer build, allowing for easy testing of different configurations of your application. We provide maximum flexibility for using any external tools you want for building your application. We also have tools to benchmark your accuracy and improve the performance of your application in a data-driven way. Finally, everything is deployable through a Docker image.

IMO full stack dev isn't just about any one (or several) languages but also all the in between stuff.

On the backend that could mean databases, scaling, containers, GraphQL, auth, scaling, etc.

On the frontend there's a lot of UX, styling, testing, responsiveness, races, waterfalls, async and lazy loads, parallelization, asset optimizations, etc.

In between, there's all the networking, CI/CD, permissions/IAM stuff, encryption, serverless, backups, Typescript...

The programming is actually some of the easiest stuff to learn, IMO, and not necessarily the most critical. You can't guarantee you'll end up working in a full stack JS environment. Often the backend is something else. I think Node backends are still relatively rare for older or bigger companies. But all the other adjacent skills are still just as (if not more) relevant.

There are parents who believe they are guardians of children until they become adult humans themselves, and are to provide a safe and nurturing environment for said small humans to become their own people, and parents who believe they own their children and are entitled to mold them into an ideal they believe. It is likely your service caters to the latter, versus the former, and while I don't think you're going to be very successful (it’s a niche product that isn’t very sticky), I do think your service is going to cause harm versus protect children from content that would cause them harm. By the time that harm has been done, you'll be long gone, having moved on to something else.

I appreciate your post because it demonstrates why there is a potential need for more robust safety systems (policy, people, technology) against certain parental cohorts. For sure, there is substantial harm to be found in online content and it’s a very hard job overseeing access children might have to the greater Internet. But also, similar harm potentially within the home (depending on the home). This is a technical attempt at solving for a people problem.

From the Wikipedia article on usufruct.

Thomas Jefferson famously wrote in 1789 that "Earth belongs – in usufruct – to the living." Jefferson's metaphor means that, like a usufructuary, human beings have the right to use the earth for their own benefit and derive profit from it, but only to the extent that their actions do not impoverish the earth's bounty for future generations.

I very much agree with Jefferson’s views on this matter.

Social mobility and GDP and some predictions on the possible effect of AI
Towards the beginning, the video’s narrator jokes that Google’s efforts at secrecy are perhaps thwarted by employees that don’t know “how git commit works.” The sad truth is, well, this is often true. The amount of time my peers spent and the number of errors they made, when using git after being directed to begin a fresh project on GitHub instead of g3 was formidable; and broke all illusions I ever have had about Google engineers being in any way categorically superior to others.

Google is, in the average case, so beyond past its prime; and so wildly ineffective at hiring that most of the place should be shut down. It really, truly, has become a joke. The fictional firm Hooli from “Silicon Valley” is scarcely more bizarre, confused, incompetent, and harmful than modern Google.

And hey, if they did shut down most the place, they could stop fucking with search results because they just wouldn’t need so much money anymore.

In an ideal world, Google would have regarded as an experiment. Its founders, investors, employees, and society would look at it critically and ask “what can we ascertain has been good and what has been harmful?” And, in my opinion anyways, everything except search, mail, g-suite, and a couple other things would be ended — including ads. With a more than minimal team, Google’s cash reserves would be more than sufficient to keep all that running for decades if not centuries to come.

It's a really fascinating topic, but I wonder if this article could benefit from any of the extensive prior work in some way. There is actually quite a lot of work on AGI and cognitive architecture out there. For a more recent and popular take centered around LLMs, see David Shapiro.

Before that you can look into the AGI conference people like Ben Goertzel, Pei Wang. And actually the whole history of decades of AI research before it became about narrow AI.

I'd also like to suggest that creating something that truly closely simulates a living intelligent digital person is incredibly dangerous, stupid, and totally unnecessary. The reason I say that is because we already have superhuman capabilities in some ways, and the hardware, software and models are being improved rapidly. We are on track to have AI that is dozens if not hundreds of times faster than humans at thinking and much more capable.

If people succeed in making that truly lifelike and humanlike, it will actually out-compete us for resource control. And will no longer be a tool we can use.

Don't get me wrong, I love AI and my whole life is planned around agents and AI. But I no longer believe it is wise to try to go all the way and create a "real" living digital species. And I know it's not necessary -- we can create effective AI agents without actually emulating life. We certainly don't need full autonomy, self preservation, real suffering, reproductive instincts, etc. But that is the goal he seems to be down in this article. I suggest leaving some of that out very deliberately.

This was to be expected. Boeing is vital to national security not because of the aircraft it makes, but the supply chains it sustains.

As long as the USD has any value, Boeing will be kept alive.
It’s not that simple. Boeing could be forced to pay a settlement, or retrofit sold airplanes, or make modifications to their manufacturing process that raise their costs, or key executives could resign, or their negotiation of far future deals could suffer, etc etc.

Boeings future isn’t boolean.

> When a FM signal may be slightly degraded with static, DAB just gives up entirely.

You'd think that this would be a good scenario for 'hierarchical modulation':

> Hierarchical modulation is particularly used to mitigate the cliff effect in digital television broadcast, particularly mobile TV, by providing a (lower quality) fallback signal in case of weak signals, allowing graceful degradation instead of complete signal loss. It has been widely proven and included in various standards, such as DVB-T, MediaFLO, UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband, a new 3.5th generation mobile network standard developed by 3GPP2), and is under study for DVB-H.

We just aren't in that universe. It was never in and of itself some sort of horrendously negative idea and I think it's grasping at straws to pretend that it was.

you might want to switch to the standard gnu readline keybinding for 'submit the current input line for execution and recall the next line in history', which is control-o. aside from the synergistic effect of being able to use the same keybinding in txr, bash, python, etc., it's a command which you frequently want to use several times in a row, and binding such a command to a sequence of two keystrokes makes it disproportionately more clumsy. you may have noticed recent versions of emacs permit you to run a keyboard macro repeatedly with c-x e e e, and it's a huge usability improvement
