> Your definition would make most video games open source - we modify them all the time.

No, because most video games aren't licensed in a way that makes that explicitly authorized, nor is modding the preferred form of the work for making modifications. The video game has source code that would be more useful, the model does not have source code that would be more useful than the weights.

That would be betting against other architectures like Mamba, which does not seem like an obviously good bet to make yet. Maybe it is though.
The Vicious Cycle of Forgetting
All too often the cost of automation is higher than the cost of just doing the work manually each time. While the example case that doesn't seem to be true, it isn't clear if they did the analsys. if the manual project took 5 minutes every week and the automation took 2 engineers 2 weeks, it will be 2000 weeks before the automation effort pays off - will you need it that long - don't forget that if the process changes you have even more effort in automation, now add in interest on the investment...

Of course as time goes on we get better automation tools. what used to not be worth automating often is today.

Don't forget that humans tend to be good at noticing "thats funny" situations while automation will pass many of those situations because you didn't think about them and thus didn't handle that error. This is why despite being a big deliver in automated tests I still demand a large amount of time spent in manual testing everything.

Anything outside the check list leaves them scratching their head. They’re terrible debuggers.

I had early high blood pressure since high school. Four blood pressure medications, one being a diuretic. Signs of edema.

It’s not like my condition required any complicated diagnostics. I met the checklist.

5 cardiologists 2 nephrologists in my lifetime. Nothing but more pills for treatment. Over two decades.

I had to be the one to research and then ask to see an endocrinologist because I thought it might be hyperaldosteronism. They were dismissive when I asked but reluctantly made the referral.

Yes, it was unilateral hyperaldosteronism. Had my left adrenal gland removed because of it.

And now my BP is much more stable. I still take a couple of BP drugs, but in smaller doses. And my BP is much more normal and stable.

No more wild, 3am ER visits where my BP was 200/120. And I lost about 15 lbs of water weight.

If have long lived resistant hypertension, please ask to see an endocrinologist to get screened for hyperaldosteronism.
You have superb skills in leveraging often hard to spot ambiguity the English language offers, I think you would excel in sales of most any product, truth included.
You are totally misunderstanding me. I am not saying that software engineering does not exist, but that most people who are software developers are not software engineers.

If you look at what engineers are doing in other disciplines you will find that in software there are some people doing the same thing. They are doing things like drafting requirements, designing, defining, simulating, overseeing, but don't spend much, if any, time actually building things.
Do you really?

Software Automation Discord discusses the Testing Pyramid in the real world
> We are looking at a simple trade against personal liberty — abortion, the rights of gay and trans people, and possibly democracy itself — in favor of crypto, AI, and a tax policy they like better.

> For Horowitz, “probably the most emotional topic” is crypto — a16z started a $4.5 billion crypto fund in 2022, and the pair believe that the Biden administration has been deeply unfair to crypto. In Horowitz’s view, the Biden administration “basically subverted the rule of law to attack the crypto industry.”

So spineless opportunists get caught with their pants down thanks to the scams they’ve been investing in, so they’re going to further debase themselves in a cynical attempt to make their money back by backing a demented felon.

Does a16z have any reputation left to trash? I expect to find out any day that they’ve been investing in all those foreign call centers that scam elderly people because that’s their main AI play now.
Exactly.
I usually don't stick around when a team enters that phase, but sometimes it takes a 6-12 months to exit.

I've been on teams where management very clearly tries to do a good team/bad team split.

This looks like hiring some space cadets to build the "strategic solution" that will magically fix every problem with the existing system (despite being managed by the same senior management).

The existing team is told to just keep the lights on / the new thing is going to be so much better / just give it another year or five.

There's not a lot of upside to staying around because you either end up fired at the end if the space cadets succeed, or if the space cadets fail you end up holding the bag of rescuing them in X years post strategic platform failure. And sometimes a secret third thing - the company being run this poorly ends up having to do RIFs and you end up fired randomly anyway.

Effectively, human work. Money is an abstraction over the relative value we assign physical goods; instead of bartering, we collectively agree on using money as an intermediate form. The financial system, then, is a lot more abstraction over the value of producers of things—and thereby human work.

Of course it's way more complex than that, but that's the basic difference between real-world money and crypto currencies.

Show HN: An eBPF-based router to discourage compulsive social media use
Hello all,

As someone that has struggled to find a healthy balance with social media for many years, I wanted something more effective than simple blocklists or screen time limits.

I came up with an adaptive router that runs on an SBC [1] to efficiently monitor and dynamically adjust traffic speeds on a home network to gently nudge users off of configured sites, with minimal or no client configuration required.

The goal is to get the benefit of these platforms (occasional surfing, ability to respond to messages, etc.) while avoiding doom scrolling and time-wasting. You are rewarded with quick responses to your initial accesses, while excessive use is discouraged with progressively slower responses.

In several weeks of use it has already proven effective, my partner and I have noticed that our dips into social media are shorter. The fact that the responses get noticeably slower is like a supportive tap on the shoulder to stop wasting time, rather than a screen time warning shaming you for your lack of discipline :)

In Scotland at the time, there wasn't primogeniture at all. You got to be king by general acclimation -- you were king when everybody said you were king.

The previous king might nominate a successor, and it might be his son -- any son. And if the thanes didn't like it, they'd fight about it. ("Thane" was an Anglo-Saxon context that's not really appropriate to Scotland at the time, but they had something kinda parallel.)

Shakespeare hints at that, in an important scene were Mac expects to be named the heir. Shakespeare's audience would have understood that, because it had been roughly the same in England under the Saxons. (That was more than a half-millennium ago, but the history was well understood by the educated, using the same sources Shakespeare did.)

There was a problem with offspring in general. Shakespeare actually discussed that one, too, in King Lear. Properties could be divided, but not indefinitely, and it often caused fighting. It's what led to the clan system, which really evolved after the Norman invasion but hints of it lay earlier.
Glad to help. Two other pieces of advice:

* Put a note in your calendar to follow up this thread in 6 months and let everyone know your progress (or your decision not to progress, either is fine :) )

* If you are moving forward, start a startup accountability email list. Super easy to do, free, but will act as a forcing function for your activities. Wrote more on that here: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3324

For some context, this paper is currently being destroyed by people who actually know about autism, as its effectively a study on how well autistic girls can mask. On reading the paper, one part I found particularly interesting was "The family consulted a naturopathic doctor who guided them in some DNA-targeted precision medicine using the IntellxxDNA genomics tool" [...] "Both twins had several genetic variants, which may increase their risk of systemic inflammation". I wonder if any of those "Generic Variants" could have contributed to their autism? That's a paper I'd be interested in reading

I don’t remember either. Could be an artifact of all the file translation over the years, or even early cruddy OCR.

None of the folks in that list would have been using TIPs — ^R mode was added after KTVs were deployed.
> As far as I underdstand it, if you don't eat carbohydrates, you don't require insulin to deal with the spikes, and apart from a few grams in the bloodstream, humans require extremely little to no exogenous carbs.

To put it bluntly: You don’t understand it.

Type 1 is different from Type 2.

A Type 1 person without insulin will die.

> “I will see that in someone with 0 percent insulin production, they’ll begin to fall ill within 12 to 24 hours after their last insulin injection, depending on its duration of effect. Within 24 to 48 hours, they’ll be in DKA. Beyond that, mortal outcomes would likely occur within days to perhaps a week or two. But I could not see someone surviving much longer than that.”

If it succeeds the idea gets sold to private corporations or the technology is made public and everyone thinks the corporation with the most popular version created it.

Predictability is great for everyone, from managers to directors to even company investors. What everyone wants to see is consistent yoy/qoq growth. We should all strive for this kind of consistency.

However, balancing this consistency with new adventures is where things get a bit tricky. I kind of like Jeremy Howard's approach to learning here. I don't know if it can be applied to a company or a team scale.

Spend 50% of your time on predictable tasks, those that you have mastery over and can do comfortably.
Spend 50% of your time on frontier stuff things that break your comfort zone.

Over time the some of the latter tasks will get into the former category, thereby leading to automation organically.

The ratio of comfort:frontier tasks is personal and let's engineers choose their ratio. Some may want the ratio tilted in the comfort zone (greater predictability ) while some may choose to adventure into the frontier zone (lesser predictability ). An organization should have space for both. Even the same individual can alter these ratios based on their life stages, external circumstances.

Put rather simply, a good software engineer can also choose to be a good technician and vice versa. Why should these roles be mutually exclusive ?
>The rules, written or not, are about trying to adjudicate a competition of people

>There's way more money in Enterprise B2B than there is in B2C.

Apple would like a word--although arguably their B2C success translated into B2B in a world where corporations increasingly didn't just dictate employee gear decisions.

But to your other point, Microsoft (though I credit this more to Nadella than Ballmer) were absolutely able to parlay Microsoft's enterprise strength to Azure in government/enterprise which AWS didn't really get at first and Google was even slower to do.
"Hmm, seems like you had a lot of bad luck happen to you at the time. We can't risk having your bad luck come again while you work for us. What if you 'don't feel like' doing the stuff we give you then? We prefer employees with a perfect luck/no past issues record. Thank you - next!"

They wont say it. But they will think it and probably use it in their decision.

In my country software engineer is a protected term. People get sued for calling themselves software engineers if they are not licensed. For me the difference between “software engineer” and “technician” is that the latter has a limited scope of work and is supervised by the former.

I think it’s a good idea to have a mix of both. There is a certain amount of toil involved in large systems and automating every single task is not always worth the effort. It’s nice to have technicians around to help with that toil.
I have a story about engineer vs technician. In my very first technology job (title was web assistant, so, very much technician) we updated our online education platform and suddenly all our course were breaking.

After some investigation we found that one line in an xml inside the course zip file needed changing. So, my manager planned how to do it. We'll divide the 40k courses into batches, different individuals would tackles certain batches and it all would be done in about 4-6 weeks...

Well, probably my ADHD brain or just being lazy but that sounded like an awful lot of repetitive work that I didn't want to do (change file extension to .zip, decompress, go to file X, find line with XYZ and replace for ABC, save, compress, change file extension back to proprietary format), so after talking with my boss and asking permission I got a week to try to automate that.

Back then I knew almost nothing about software development but I was aware of bash and python... so I cobbled together a janky script that would likely make me cry if I saw it now, tested it on 1 course, then on 10, then on 100... and then shared with my boss. It all worked perfectly! We still batches of about 1k courses at a time to confirm that everything was working ok, and in the end the job took about 2 days and 1 person (as opposed to 4-6 weeks and 5 people).

I was very proud of that accomplishment and very likely marked my perception of the value of software as a tool to decrease human effort (nobody got laid off or leaved, is not like we didn't have A TON of work apart from that migration).

Anyways, just wanted to share :-)

The article hints at this, but not publishing null results (at least in a database - somewhere!) goes hand-in-hand with the replication crisis. An experimental outcome is always a single sample from a distribution of outcomes that you would obtain if you repeated the experiment many times.

Choosing to only publish the most extreme positive values means that when the experiment is replicated, "regression to the mean" makes it very likely that the measured effect will be weaker, and possibly not statistically significant. This is not an evidence of scientific fraud -- rather, it is a predictable outcome of a publishing incentive scheme that rewards hype and novelty over robust science.

I've said it before but it bears repeating - replicating published results, and adding the findings to a database, should be a standard part of PhD training programs.
Facebook is one of the great when it comes to twisting words and appropriating terms in ways that benefit Facebook.
>>With the war on drivers

The government literally allocated tens of billions for drivers(including 8.3 billion taken from HS2 funding directly), and zero for cycling or other infrastructure. The whole idea of "war on drivers" is complete and utter nonsense - I'd actually risk saying that no group of people anywhere in this country is as well looked after and invested into as drivers.

And ironically, HS2 would have improved driving conditions in this country, because currently our rail system is at a capacity - so bulk non perishable goods are going by road instead of shipped by train - it's completely insane. It increases congestion as well as damages our roads further - but of course media presented it as some lavish extravagance to decrease travel time from manchester by 8 minutes, which it absolutely isn't about.
