Before the pandemic, tech companies were not as async.

The pandemic proved that operations can continue in a semi-async manner.

Now in the post-2023 market, companies have begun to make that shift to global hiring now that async is normalized.

Outside North America, the salary for the top 15-20% of SWEs is roughly comparable to each other in every country so it makes it easier to scale out teams and speed up product and feature delivery, especially now that American trained engineers on visas were the first to be let go during the 2023-24 layoffs, and for the past decade, CS majors from the top universities in China (Project 985 programs) and India (INIs) have largely stopped moving abroad except for graduate programs.

I warned this would happened in the start of the pandemic, and have kept saying it since.
I've been curious about Kagi as a search engine for a while now and this seems like a good time to try, given that I already pay $20/month for ChatGPT.

The thing stopping me currently from trying this or Claude is I rely on the Opt+Space shortcut with the ChatGPT mac app.

Are there any other options for a native mac app with integration as good as the ChatGPT app?
The ability to use lenses with custom assistants is the killer feature IMO.

Want to search for open source projects that implement some algorithm? Create a Github/Gitlab lens. Want to ask it questions only about some framework? Add it’s domain to a lens.
You are correct that even if the US stock market flatlines for the next 20 years, there will be individual companies which do extremely well, and others which die.

That's not what this article is about. The article is about average corporate profits in the current-to-the-point-in-time largest US companies. And using the SP500 allows the analysis to be consistent even as the mix of the SP500 changes.

And no, changing the mix does not guarantee that the index increases in value over time. Plenty of periods of 10 years or more where the SP500 flatlined. Also, economies in other countries have extended periods where the index of their top companies flatlined.

Further, the explosive growth which you hope to find is generally not in the SP500 companies. The explosive growth is what puts a company INTO the SP500.
I mean it shouldn't be enough to publish in nature. The whole point of science is that it can be validated. It's totally fine that they're hosting their models for free on closed servers with limits, even though it's not exactly the most ergonomic.
Very nice!

Not free, but the "Technic", "Simplex" and "ISOCP" fonts included with AutoCAD are also of this aesthetic, if people want an exhaustive list of candidates.
Asteroid 2024 RW1, which was discovered just hours before its atmospheric entry, made a dramatic appearance over the Philippines on September 4, 2024. The asteroid, roughly the size of a small car (about 1 meter in diameter), was detected by the Catalina Sky Survey and was initially designated CAQTDL2 before being named 2024 RW1.

The asteroid entered the atmosphere at a speed of approximately 11 miles per second (around 40,000 miles per hour) and burned up, creating a spectacular green flash visible to observers on the ground. Despite the cloud cover from Typhoon Yagi, the event was still visible and was captured on video by local residents.

This event marks only the ninth recorded instance of an asteroid being detected before it impacted Earth.
>All that said, I find his argument wholly unconvincing (and again, I may be waaaaay stupider than Sutskever, but there are other people much smarter than I who agree). And the reason for this is because every now and then I'll see a particular type of hallucination where it's pretty obvious that the LLM is confusing similar token strings even when their underlying meaning is very different. That is, the underlying "pattern matching" of LLMs becomes apparent in these situations.

So? One of the most frustrating parts of these discussions is that for some bizzare reason, a lot of people have a standard of reasoning (for machines) that only exists in fiction or their own imaginations.

Humans have a long list of cognitive shortcomings. We find them interesting and give them all sorts of names like cognitive dissonance or optical illusions. But we don't currently make silly conclusions like humans don't reason.

The general reasoning engine that makes neither mistake nor contradiction or confusion in output or process does not exist in real life whether you believe Humans are the only intelligent species on the planet or are gracious enough to extend the capability to some of our animal friends.

So the LLM confuses tokens every now and then. So what ?
Hey, I'm one of the developers on Graphiti project

Adding to Daniel's reply, ingesting a series of interviews is definitely doable with one graph, please make sure to add the episodes from the interviews in their chronological order.

After all the episodes are processed by graphiti, you will be able to retrieve the "complete picture" for every participant in the interviews that reflects the possible change in their views/opinions.
It’s because individual consumer choice is a really bad way to get companies to change their behavior.

Thousands of people have stopped buying anything from Amazon, and the only change in the world is that those people don’t get the convenience that Amazon provides; Amazon is still doing all the same things.

As an individual, your only two choices are: shop at Amazon and get the benefits and Amazon still exists exactly as it does today, or don’t shop at Amazon, don’t get the benefits, and Amazon still exists exactly as it does today. The only person that suffers if I stop shopping at Amazon is me, it doesn’t make one persons life better.

This is a Collective Action Problem, and it can’t be fixed by consumer choice.

I'll second EinkBro as an awesome browser. I absolutely cannot stand anything else on my e-book reader: Onyx BOOX Max Lumi, Firefox/Android, Onyx's NeoBrowser (rebranded Chromium), and DDG Privacy Browser installed, I only use those if EinkBro blows up for some reason, which it very rarely does.

I've had a lot of interactions with the developer and the GitHub repo, and he's been quite responsive. Hasn't addressed everything, but several features added and bugs get smashed fast.

To repeat myself from a recent HN thread:

I've been using Kagi for a while (almost two years now!) and it's been nothing but excellent!

Lenses are very useful (Reddit lens is on every second search), and I personally really like the AI features they are working on.

The new more advanced assistant which is able to do searches, which can also be constrained to lenses, and lets you pick an arbitrary model, is excellent, and basically means I don't need a chatgpt/claude subscription, as Kagi covers it very well.

All in all, great product which I'm happy to pay for.
This article doesn't mention controlled digital lending at all, what the entire lawsuit was about, and instead spends a significant chunk of the article on the national emergency library, a program that got like a one sentence mention in the judgment.
I don't have the references on my finger tips, but basically I recall 401ks to be a bad deal for most employees because of mismanagement by the account holder, high fees, ill timed trades, etc. A few 401k (or 403b) holders have done very well, however, if their plans offered low-cost index funds, contributed regularly and avoided moving money around at the wrong time or at all.
I use the Programming, Forums, PDFs, Recipes, and Small Webs lenses pretty regularly, though I haven't tried making my own lens yet. The 'Programming' lens is probably what you'd want for your Python script.

Note: I work part-time at Kagi (was a Kagi user before that), not doing search stuff.

This is more than just a fake resume.

He claimed to be an engineer, which is a profession with real formal qualifications, because there are real consequences (e.g. buildings falling down, bridges collapsing, people dying.)
It me. I write CSS. I also write javascript, html, vue code, react…

We just haven't needed a lot of pure CSS in the modern era. A lot is abstracted away in frameworks where you can simply set variables to customize the look and feel.

All websites also kind of look the same now, which isn't the worst thing, but it definitely means less need to mess with CSS.
Ilya is basically building the Tandem Computers of AI.

Before Tandem, computers used to fail regularly. Tandem changed that forever (with a massive reward for their investors).

Similarly, LLMs are known to fail regularly. Until someone figures out a way for them not to hallucinate anymore. Which is exactly what Ilya is after.
it is not up to the criminals to decide what is or is not legal, is up to the judges, if they do not agreed, the law is clear, you can fight in court, but you must comply

But isn't housing extremely unaffordable in Taipei (and presumably rest of Taiwan)? Price per m2 is comparable to San Francisco or San Jose but median earnings are several times lower.
AGI is likely but whether Ilya Sutskever will get there first or get the value is questionable. I kind of hope things will end up open source with no one really owning it.
That covid spike in 2020 is pretty interesting. Probably the percentage of people that rent something close to their workplace and could move home when WFH became a thing.

> The homeownership rate is the proportion of households that is owner-occupied.

I suppose there probably aren't better metrics available, but someone who lives in a rented out penthouse that's being financed by owning 20 rented out apartments wouldn't show up as a homeowner under this which is hilarious.

From what I can find [0] homeownership rates in the EU are typically north of 70%, and up to to 90% in some countries. Germany seems to be a real outlier at only 50%.

What do you think AI is? On that one page there's simulated annealing with a logarithmic cooling schedule, Hutter search, and Solomonoff induction, all very much applicable to AI. If you want a fully complete galactic algorithm for AI, look up AIXItl.

Edit: actually I'm not sure if AIXItl is technically galactic or just terribly inefficient, but there's been trouble making it faster and more compact.
I think it was the catalyst for the whole lawsuit though. If they had done just CDL, then I think that the book companies would have just tolerated it.
And your status as a rich and white curiosity played no part in this?
There are so many interesting things to learn that are reality (like reading history books), why waste the precious remaining few years of my life reading books promoting nonsense?

I read historical accounts about the Kennedy assassination, but don't waste my time on the conspiracy theory books. Nor do I bother with treatises on ancient aliens or UFOs. Or books on astrology, kirlian photography, ESP, flat earth, religions dogma, etc.

If Marxism worked, I'd be more interested in it. But it doesn't, so why bother?
Someone has to push the limits to see where they actually are. Now we know.

Railway engineering... 15 years career, which tells quite a lot about a lot of things, generally nothing good. Best aspect is it doesn't seem anyone got physically hurt in "the process of career progression". Quite scary.
Interesting how the post doesn't mention the word "side effect" once.

To me, all of this could be summarized by "no side effect".

> He imagines the near-future world he wants to live in, prototypes enough of it to write a talk about, and gives the talk with the hopes that someone in the audience will be inspired to make it a reality.

What makes you think this?
Well they did chase out Twitter's legal representation by threatening to arrest them. So it doesn't exactly seem like a legitimate ruling. More like rubber stamping their bosses' excesses.
> Taiwan is full of very nice new high-rise development that contains units with lots of bedrooms

But presumably you'll never be able to buy and will have to rent forever? Real estate is significantly more expensive in Taiwan relative to income than in SF/etc.
If the workers want better conditions they can leave.
If all options are below what we would consider moral then we should change laws. The solution to a problem in a free market is not inside of one company.
Yea, it solves a lot of limitations with LLMs generally struggling with 'niche' topics.

Being able to innovate on the search side while everyone else loses a lot of many training LLMs feels like a good space to be in at the moment.
Indeed. All they got was inflation. Just like our government flooding the country with printed money. Same cause, same effect It's not a mystery what causes inflation, and inflation does not result in prosperity.
> I’m honestly surprised they can still find people who want to work for them.

The slow and steady eradication of middle class jobs + the lack of a humane and dignified safety net + the need for food, clothing and shelter. I think very few people want to work as an Amazon warehouse worker or driver, as in make a career of it. It's one of the USA's many Jobs Of Last Resort.

I wasn't explicit enough here neither: "we slaughter [...]" -> "Humans slaughter [...]". I'm not farmer, just some random guy.

For the profitability part : "The value of cull cows at slaughter represents a source of income for dairy farms."[1]

However the profitability incentives varies depending on the breed and lead to ...strange... practices: the male newborn are hardly profitable if from a diary-super-optimized breed and some farms culled them at birth [2]. It's now forbidden in UK but still a practice in Switzerland (yummy Toblerone).

The recordings are stored on a local usb drive. There is no configuration beyond turning the feature on/off. (You can set it to automatically turn off on some locations, e.g. in your own garage to conserve battery.)

The owner can view the recordings either in an app inside the car or by taking the drive out and plugging it somewhere else. There is no wireless access, there is no first-party cloud backup.[1] Tesla might have some over-the-air access to the recordings based on the privacy settings, but these are not shared with the users.

The owner cannot set their own retention, the car erases the oldest recordings when the drive is full. Maybe one could use a very small drive to limit it, but that would also limit the dashcam.

The owner can view live stream from 7 of the cameras in the Tesla phone app. When this happens, the car flashes lights and displays a message on the screen. They can also enable/disable sentry mode in that app.

---

I would guess that the owners will be eventually able to view/manage the past recordings remotely as well. The cars are getting regular updates with new features, it just takes time.

Yes, just make the content. Inspire others how they can use your product.

How do you imagine the customer journey goes? For me I would not consider to use Figma as a starting point to design a website, and not knowing the market too well I am wondering how common is Figma for marketing websites (that seems the main target audience I assume). But nevertheless, it seems to make sense to follow your vision on this.
If the US economy keeps growing then American businesses will do well and the stock market will reflect that. It’s hard to image scenarios where the American economy shrinks while other countries have growing prosperity.
> If you're successful at causing amazon to crumble and they lose their job, would you really feel good?

This feels like a bit of a straw man — if Amazon start losing potential sales because people don't like how they're treating their workers, they'll fix their workers rights before they let the company crumble out of spite.

Customer pressure is a real lever in these scenarios.

I think it might be a bit more transactional than that. Arms sellers sell arms, no matter the side.
I agree with your general idea here but could it not be argued that pensions are just an abstraction on top of 401ks in the sense that if the demographics are shifting such that non-producers outweigh producers then you would expect the economy and business profits to suffer. These effects would cause broad slow growth or even reductions in business valuations, and therefore poor performance in investment accounts broadly.
One of the foundational building blocks of FP is the closure, the purpose of which is to couple together data and the function operating on it.

ML, one of the standard-bearing functional programming languages, is at least partially defined by its powerful module system. And an ML module serves a similar sort of encapsulatory purpose as the class does, often binding together a type and functions that operate on it - the internals of the type sealed away such that only those functions can operate on that data.

You're making a lot of assumptions about the availability of other work. I'm glad you've been able move between jobs, but it isn't always easy or available.

You are probably also taking for granted a lot of the labor rights which were won over the last 100 years. For example, blacklisting used to be a thing, and it certainly did prevent job mobility, that was the whole point.

You are also right that you as a CONSUMER should not have to check every company's credentials before doing business with them. But you as a CITIZEN might want to have your government do this through things such as minimum wage laws and overtime laws.
people don't trust the official spokesperson but will immediately trust "an anonymous source".
It wasn't, the book publishers were clearly preparing the lawsuit for years before the NEL.

The logic doesn't even make sense, if their objection was to the NEL they would have sued over that and the lawsuit would have been over four years ago.
I'm also confused. They seem positive and constructive. Do mods detect that these are some kind of automated bots?
FP doesn't have to be a religion; in Common Lisp it's just an idea, an ideal to aim for perhaps.
Yes! I wondered if I was the only one thinking that. I'm often confused if they are on the phone or not.
We all love data-driven decision making… until we don't.
No, talking in a car has no measurable impact on safety. And talking on the phone is obviously even safer than talking to other people physically in the car, since you don't need to take your eyes off the road or tour hands off the wheel like you would be tempted to when talking to another person in the car.

Plus, the vast majority of people have a significant need for social contact. Working an eight hour shift alone in a car without any contact with any social contact (except a quick sign off when dropping a package), 5 days a week, is inhuman.
The author has an enthusiasm for a new piece of CSS that I haven't seen in a solid decade. I appreciate it a lot. In my 20s I would have tinkered with the possibilities of this thing for hours/days. Trying to get stuff to work in CSS brought me joy. Now it's kind of easy, thanks to flexbox, grid, and the fact that most websites and apps follow standard design principles. We've "solved" web UI, for the most part.
I think you are taking the author's reasoning a little bit too literal. The gist is, Nicky is doing a job that she does not like, simply because she does not even know of the existence of a job that suits her better. The filling of that position would be a win-win situation. The current 'off-balance' ness is just a metaphor.

That’s easy to say when it’s someone with our level of opportunities but some people don’t have a whole lot of other options. And it’s not like Door Dash and Uber are any better.
Some of the people in the video have that expression on their face too.
I had a discussion with someone recently about how tech is enabling enforcement of laws/policies/etc at a scale never before possible and how that is a bad thing. The problem is that people can't conform perfectly and the tighter we force people to conform the more likely they are to 'break' and disconnect from society. Basically, if 'acceptable' is so narrowly defined that you can't achieve it 100% of the time, why try even a little to conform? In companies there is somewhat of an off-ramp, quit (which isn't always a realistic option obviously), but these enforcement abilities are invading areas that we can't avoid and that is a real problem.
That's not entirely true.
