I try to build web pages to work without JavaScript as much as I can. If I need js - then plain js, unless I need something complicated.
Well, markdown and HTML are encoding the same information, but markdown is effectively compressing the semantic information. This works well for humans, because the renderer (whether markdown or plaintext) decompresses it for us. Two line breaks, for example, “decompress” from two characters to an entire line of empty space. To an LLM, though, it’s just a string of tokens.

So consider this extreme case: suppose we take a large chunk of plaintext and compress it with something like DEFLATE (but in a tokenizer friendly way), so that it uses 500 tokens instead of 2000 tokens. For the sake of argument, say we’ve done our best to train an LLM on these compressed samples.

Is that going to work well? After all, we’ve got the same information in a quarter as many tokens. I think the answer is pretty obviously “no”. Not only are we using a small fraction as much time and space to process the information, but the LLM will be forced to waste a lot of that computation on decompressing the data.
This made me think of two similarish things in the UK:

1)In Kew gardens there is a Japanese "Minka" house that was donated to Kew by the Japanese government. It was lived in by a Japanese family in Nagasaki after their home was bombed in 1945, and some time later was transported to Kew piece by piece and rebuilt using traditional methods.[1] The house itself is a beautiful and simple wooden house and sits in a lovely bamboo garden inside Kew (which is of course also very lovely) and seems to me based on its history a sort of quiet protest against nuclear war.

2) "Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View" is an extraordinary artwork by Cornelia Parker at the Tate Modern. The artist took her garden shed with all of its contents and blew it up with explosives and made this artwork comprising two parts. The first is a video of the explosion on a loop so you see the shed exploding and coming back into a single piece over and over again. The second is the installation, which is a sort of "real life freeze frame" of an instant in the explosion in which all the fragments are suspended from the ceiling in the positions they were in at that moment and lit by a single source so it casts very dramatic shadows.[2]

Hello:

I'm a reporter with Bloomberg News covering cybersecurity. I'm trying to learn more about this Crowdstrike update potentially bypassing staging rules and would love to hear about your experience. Would you be open to a coversation?

I'm reachable by email at jbleiberg2@bloomberg.net or on Signal at JakeBleiberg.24. Here's my Bloomberg author page: https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/AWuCZUVX-Pc/jake-bleiberg.

Thank you.

That certainly can be true (not universally) when a company that might give you an offer is saying it.

If it’s coming from a peer, especially one whose been round a few more blocks than you, may just be an observation about life.

I don't disagree, just to your point about early retirement, be aware of what you really want vs just chasing comp. If it's comp, then it also begs the question of why not FAANG then.
This is a beautiful demo.
There's nothing too terribly special about low level wizardry, other than you really _do_ need to understand how the hardware works, and how your language works. Oddball skills you really need to know (and can easily pick up if you have a mind to) include: a) Reading processor/part data books. These are your API docs. Most of your answers are in there if you care to look. b) Reading schematics. You don't need to be able to write/design hardware, but you need to be able to figure out what each CPU pin is wired to and how you're expected to access peripherals. Again, not hard to figure out if you put your mind to it. Very handy to know: How to use a multimeter/oscilloscope/JTAG programmer/logic analyzer. There are your debuggers. You don't need them often, but when you need them, you NEED them.
>The whole point of taxation is redistribution, so why would you care whether you’re “winning” versus the marginal tax rate?

A substantial portion of the population doesnt think taxation should be used for distribution at all. They think the fundamental point of taxation is to pay for public goods that everyone uses like roads, police, and firemen.

Yet… you have strong opinions you are somehow confident in.
It’s a common strategy for small tasks where the overhead of dispatching the task greatly exceeds the computation of it. It’s also a better way to maximize L1/L2 cache hit rates by improving memory locality.

Eg you have 100M rows and you want to cluster them by a distance function (naively), running dist(arr[i], arr[j]) is crazy fast, the problem is just that you have so many of them. It is faster to run it on one core than dispatch it from one queue to multiple cores, but best to assign the work ahead of time to n cores and have them crunch the numbers.
You can see that they exist already, without UBI. So the question is, what effect will UBI have on freeloading if introduced? Will they contribute even less than they do now? Will there be more of them? Or will they stop free-loading off companies and individuals?

If UBI means everyone at the place you work is actually motivated, and you never have to watch your friend support a free-loader again, I think we're probably better off as a society.

I've been at Google for about 10 years. Over the last three or so years I've seen the following frustrating changes.

A switch from a bottom up culture to a broken mix of bottom up and top down. I used to feel empowered to write up proposals for new ambitious projects and to seek funding for them, even if they didn't always get funded. Now, I barely try anything like this. VPs demand that work conforms to a vision that they cannot communicate and they can barely explain why any given project gets rejected. I'd be okay with an actually top down culture if leaders could actually lead - but instead you get the worst of both worlds. Since 2021, I don't think I have ever been in a meeting with a VP that I felt was useful.

This lack of vision goes all the way to the top. The execs cannot communicate a vision to the company.

Major process overhead and churn in these processes. Some of this stuff is indeed important (it makes sense to go through the trouble of making sure all of your systems are properly labeled for DMA compliance, for example). But a lot of it is bullshit. It feels like there is constantly some GRAD or OKR ritual that we have perform that nobody is actually looking at closely or getting value from. The old performance review process was involved, but it at least felt useful in a lot of ways.

Layoffs coupled with highest-ever profits. Google has literally never made more money than it is currently making. Layoffs are sudden, frustrating, and feel unmotivated when the company has more money than God. I get that Google needs to keep showing higher and higher profits to keep the line going up, but living in a world where "fuck, now we need to replan 2024" keeps happening while posting record numbers on earnings calls is dispiriting.

AI Mania. LLMs are clearly useful tools, but it doesn't feel (to me) like the company is seeking to apply them where they are most useful. It feels instead like the company is shouting "AI is the future" and demanding that it be shoved into everything. The effect on me is that I need to defend to my director and/or VP why my particular product isn't just going all in on Gemini.

All of the above has also caused a bunch of people who've been around for a long time and are deeply skilled, knowledgeable, and who exhibit the culture of 2016 Google to leave. They take some of that old culture with them.

Ultimately, I stay because I've got a remote position and high pay and my day to day work is pretty enjoyable and I'm planning on retiring in the not too distant future anyway.
Yeah, 'int is iterable' triggered "oh that's cute!" immediately followed by "... and the exact sort of cute I often find irresistably tempting myself and then regret later."

My current thing in progress has basically all of its temptation points already spent because I decided I was going to make it fexpr based, but I'm very definitely having fun with that so far - "no special forms required" makes for some interesting possibilities.

(kernel-lisp and kernel-thesis in /lisp/ are worth looking at if fexprs sound interesting, though I'm on the pragmatics side of things and will not pretend I came anywhere close to understanding the $vau calculus part)

To be competitive with SaaS, open source software needs to have a web version because there’s so much less friction to use web software compared to desktop software. So desktop thick clients with native UI need to be maintained in addition to, not instead of, a web UI. Most open source options barely have the resources to build a web UI, asking also for a thick client for each user operating system platform seems unrealistic.
The risk is that if you ever want to leave the gambling industry you'll be the candidate who made their living swindling vulnerable people.
We once did math on finding overheating FETs with an on-PCB temperature sensor. We came to the same conclusion as you.

Our supplier advertised a sensor, which we found eventually on the other end of the PCB. The reaction time would have been five or ten minutes if at all, essentially the whole device would burn down and eventually it would take the sensor with it.

Turns out, the sensor would had to sit directly opposite the FET on the PCB, and there had to be a plugged via going straight through for sufficient thermal coupling. A lot of the physics boils down to simple aspect ratio, and normal vias are really thin.

(The real solution would have been putting the sensor on an FPC, and to glue onto the transistor. The real real solution was to make sure the part didn't blow up in the first place, which was much easier to do.)
Somehow I thought for a moment that some crazy person had ported Shiny to use the 1.0 version of Python, which would be a lot worse idea.

Healthcare isn't much of a differentiator in the kinds of jobs being discussed here. Pretty much all of them will have good healthcare plans that are as close to free for the employee as the IRS and insurers will allow.

The 'in mice' has become another talking point on 'the right', mainly to discredit science and 'studies' in general. And that all 'mice' based studies are false.

It is the main talking point of the Weinstein brothers on their podcast. But their main thrust is not the reasonable list of points by the OP, the Weinstein point is that all mice studies are meaningless junk science and don't mean anything.

So, the 'in mice' has become a moniker for 'bad science' from those on 'the right'.

The underlying concept is applicable to lots of things, really. For example, the functions that are unsafe and safe to call from a POSIX signal handler can be treated as a function colouring problem.

A certain level of helpfulness is nice though, Ruby and to a somewhat lesser extent Perl get that part right. I guess Perl could be seen as a warning example of what happens if you go all in.

Yep, I've been on a ride down the fexpr implementation hole previously; which is another reason I've been delaying user macros; still processing the experience.
The original comment

> The idea that 'Ruby Methods Are Colorless' is intriguing. It seems to suggest that methods in Ruby lack inherent complexity, which aligns with the language's philosophy of simplicity and readability. Ruby's method names are often so intuitive that they don't obscure the functionality behind a facade of complexity, making the code feel 'colorless' in a good way—clear and transparent. Anyone else feel like this makes Ruby especially appealing for both beginners and seasoned developers?

Apart from the telltale signs of an LLM, it's so unlikely someone would write a long and grammatically correct comment that was completely unrelated to what the article was about.
Dunno why people say it sucks, it's (no real spoilers) a genre staple ending pretty much. Leaves stuff open for a sequel, as they do, but still finishes off the main plot.

Ask HN: Do you indulge in side projects to complement your day job?
I know the answer I would get if I ask chatgpt on what to do if you are stuck in a rut in your day job. But in reality, if you are in a day job which's mostly mundane work with little to no prospects of career growth / decent salary hikes, do you complement/compensate for it by investing extra time after work hours in creative side projects ? Do you prepare of interviews post work and be constantly on the lookout for something better ? Or are you just grateful that you've a steady source of income (considering all the job losses due to AI) and spend the rest of your time as usual (family needs/netflix etc) ?

Lately, I seem to see a lot of advise on side projects and having multiple income streams, but not really sure if such hustling is the only way to survive going forward! Also, feel a bit anxious wondering if everyone else with a 'stuck-in-a-rut' day job is hustling and I would be ultimately left behind !

I suppose a simulationist would say there might be a lot of reasons for that, or none. But I suspect my simulation of a simulationist has not that much fidelity. In either case I rarely regret meeting unusual people, though make no promises a priori of taking any particular example very seriously; it depends a lot on the vector sum of the distinction.

I've implemented coroutines in C and C++; my preferred multitasking environment is message-passing between processes. I'm not quite sure what the async/await stuff is buying us (I'm thinking C++, here). Like, I get multi-shot stackless coroutines, i.e., function objects, but I don't get why you'd want to orchestrate some sort of temporal Turing pit of async functions bleeding across your code base.

I dunno. Maybe I'm old now?

Anyways; good for Ruby! Async/await just seems very faddish to me: it didn't solve any of the hard multithreading/multiprocessing problems, and introduced a bunch of other issues. My guess is that it was interesting type theory that bled over into Real Life.

Two tried and tested methods, neither guaranteed of course.

1) Be better than the overwhelming majority of your peers, and be noticed for this. You are quite likely to find interesting opportunities come your way. I do mean overwhelming though - small fraction of a percent.

2) Specialize in something most people can’t or won’t do. This includes difficult, obscure, and unpleasant work.

In both cases some of the biggest $ comes from independent consulting, once you’ve built up a network and a reputation for fixing a particular pain point corporations have (bill for value, of course).
