Ignoring errors is generally a poor practice. You don't have to stop your program on errors, but you should at least log some percentage of them so that when the failure cascades, you have some idea where the failure started.
> Even so i disagree with the article author that claims Poland has not left the middle income trap.

You're being downvoted but you aren't wrong.

A lot can go wrong in a decade.

In 2024, Poland (and Hungary) are at the same comparative level of development they were in 2014 (using distance from the WB High Income GDP per Capita threshold as a proxy), yet their 2014 peer Slovakia was able to significantly increase it's GDP per Capita to near Czechia levels (tbf Slovakia was also able to leverage Czechia's development).

Historically poorer Romania has also started catching up to both Poland and Hungary recently due to significant FDI inflows due to political instability in both countries in the late 2010s.

Both Poland and Hungary are at a precipice - if they can conduct lasting reforms within their administrative system over the next decade, then they are absolutely on track to becoming a developed country. Medium case, they could end up like their 2014 peer Uruguay and Panama - stuck with laggard growth. Worst case, they could end up like their 2014 peer Argentina (but stuff would have to go seriously wrong).

> If not for the inflow of Ukrainians labor shortages would cripple the economy

And Belarusians and Russians - Poland and much of the CEE became nations of immigrants by 2016 as labor and capital inflows from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia began due to the start of the Ukraine War in 2014, and the subsequent sanctions regimes.

> There has been an inflection point on IT wages a well. Maybe it is a blip, but I think there is reason to worry

I think T1 salaries are around $30-60k now across the CEE, which is largely comparable to similar talent in every country excluding the US and Canada.

The hard work for Poland is to now leverage it's existing talent (both domestically and in the diaspora) to build strong global players. Historically poorer Romania is following this path with companies like UIPath and BitDefender, and Czechia did something similar with Avast and JetBrains.

Aside from Allegro and CD Projekt, I can't think of a major multinational Polish tech company.

In fact, almost every major Polish company is either entirely owned by a foreign investor or state owned. I think Eurocash is the only notable exception.
I would be interested in seeing an AI developed to listen to auto-generated podcasts, removing humans from the equation altogether.
As someone who's spent a large amount of time in Beat Saber I think half the problem is that as good as VR headsets have gotten since the introduction of the original Rift, they're still full of compromises. None of them do everything well, and so you have to pick the one that sucks the least for a single use case (fitness games, racing/flight sims, VRChat, etc), and that's really bad for something as expensive as VR headsets are (even the cheaper quests).

In the case of Quest stuff, PC link users being treated somewhat as second class (no direct DisplayPort input) and the lock-in of the crappy Quest desktop software doesn't help matters.

I agree that VR will always be a niche, but I would also say that there's a good chance of the niche growing with the introduction of a well-built, affordable, well rounded headset that's built on the SteamVR ecosystem.
I think "bullshitting" fits better than "hallucinating" - just keep spitting out words rather than admit ignorance, but maybe the best human analogy is freestyle rapping where one has to keep the flow of words coming regardless!

Maybe we just need to coin a new word for it - "LLM-ing" perhaps ?!
There's no such thing as a free fundraise
Public opinion has little bearing on the decisions that NYT makes, until a critical threshold is passed. The aim of the union is to bring that critical threshold of displeasure into focus and to approach it until NYT relents.

The politics of the median voter in the US is not relevant for this discussion.
Having been on call 24/7 for production services, I found "git log" absolutely essential, almost more so than the latest code. We were usually expected to roll back rather than take additional risk fixing forward on outages, so the question was "roll back to what?"
We have close to that much in training data in the form of cars driven by humans.

What we lack is (still) the fundamental algorithms to learn from video. Tokenization like LLMs or diffusion are starting to fall short of this goal.
so much pleasantry so much fluff. reduce the noise. get to the point.
I took a fair amount of advanced math and I find it useful regularly. Despite that, I agree with your sentiment that most people honestly don't need much of it.

But, I don't think that's what everyone is talking about with poor math scores. Just last week I had two college educated adults telling me adamantly that 10 * 700 was 70,000.

Hi, Paul from the Open Source Team here at Meta. HHVM is still in use and there are no changes to the level of maintenance the open source project gets. There's no conspiracy, no quiet quitting. The reality is that we just had some issues that affected our automatic syncing a little while back and HHVM got stuck. Since use outside of Meta is relatively low, unsticking it was just lower priority.

But we see that you've noticed and I think the folks working on HHVM internally will get that corrected soon!
Thanks for the feedback. Self-hosted version is now a high priority for us since many people have given us this feedback.
> terrible; bland art...bad code

Ironically, all of this means that we're not at the apex and there's still a long ways to go both in terms of algorithms and the hardware to run them.

> Do you want to live in a future where all human thought has been replaced by its surface level reproductions, made by big tech stuffing copyrighted works into a GPU farm with near-zero human labor?

Whether we want to or not, it's the apparent path that will unfold; there's no putting AI back into the box. The race is already on.
I bet Elon tweeting AI generated videos of the VPOTUS in soviet garb helped a ton here.
Of course it's not that simple. This "IP address pop catchment" thing is an area of active research. Even we do weird things, like: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-servers-dont-own-ips-...
[dupe] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41501798
There are multiple reasons and limitations with current tooling that we want to overcome.

We have abstracted all packages as custom resources and have a controller that reconciles these resources to (1) enable drift detection. Additionally, we use admission controllers (2) to validate dependencies and package configurations before they are applied to the cluster, while also working with custom resources to store and update the status of installed packages.
One of the reasons ML requires so many GPUs, besides the dataset sizes and the advantages of bigger models is the fact that ML is fundamentally unpredictable: it’s hard to debug, and hard to know if something you try will work before you try it.

So if you told my company they could run 2x the number of experiments for the same price they would do it because it doubles the number of hyperparameter settings we can try simultaneously. If that means fine tuning BERT in a day vs 2, that’s a huge increase in iteration velocity. It means we can work on more backlog projects simultaneously. It means engineers aren’t elbowing each other for GPU time (ok that is optimistic).
NYT is a pretty solidly right wing organization (eg [1] and [2]) like most for profit media outfits in the US. I suspect they’ll react like any other for profit business. Previous leaks have shown this to be the case [0][3]

I think neither Windows nor UNIX have a better way of handling command-line arguments; they both have problems (although I think Windows has some additional problems, even that you did not mention).

I have a different way in my idea of operating systems: One of the forks of a file specifies the type of the initial message that it expects, and the command shell will read this to figure out the types, so that effectively programs have types. This initial message also includes capabilities. This is better than needing to convert everything to/from text and then making a mess (e.g. needing quotation, unexpectedly interpreting file names as switches (even if they are quoted), needing an extra delimiter if the text starts with a minus sign which must then be parsed from the program too, the "crazy behavior" you mention with "cp *", etc).

(Also, my operating system design does not actually have file names nor directory structures.)

(I also think that Unicode is no good, but that is a different issue.)
Off-topic: To be honest, after trying almost all the CI/CD offerings out there, CircleCI, Github Actions, Gitlab CI, Travis, etc... I've started to believe that none of them actually did it better than Jenkins (despite all its flaws).

On-topic: Glasskube isn't really an ArgoCD plugin as it can work standalone, but in 2024, can you really propose a package manager for k8s without having some integration with ArgoCD and GitOps in general?

If you want to migrate, having interoperability between the tools can make the process smoother. And if you don't want to migrate and still benefit from a centralized, curated, audited repository of packages for Kubernetes so that your "Powered by ArgoCD" GitOps are easier to manage, that's what the GitOps template propose.

In Debian, you can just `apt install <that big thing i don't want to write a deploy script for>`. Imagine doing that with the usual big operators you want in your cluster (cert-manager, a hashicorp vault operator, istio or nginx ingress controller or envoy or ...)
In practice, for more "modern" projects, it works fine: they tend to have good hygiene anyway. For Rust projects, for example, you .gitignore the target directory, and you're good for 99% of projects (and cargo new already generates said ignore.)

For older projects that leave temporary files everywhere, or for workflows that may generate intermediate files (like coredumps are often generated in the cwd and not somewhere easily ignored), it can be a pain.

However, in the next release, a feature related to this has landed: you can add a configuration, `snapshot.auto-track="none()"`, to turn off automatically tracking files, and then `jj track` individual paths (with globs, of course), if you prefer that workflow.
I recently got a chance to find a practical use for a modified hybrid trie which was fun to implement! Lots of optimisations to go around.

It’s a nifty user-agent parser for Go: https://github.com/medama-io/go-useragent

Typically this sort of problem relies on lots of regex parsing, so it was nice to take a more novel approach.
Specifically in Ireland, corporate taxes were being lowered from late 1980s until 2003, in a series of agreements with the EU regulators. It's not like Ireland lowered the taxes in a sneaky scheme, or grandfathered-in an abnormally low rate.
Corporate culture of "move fast and break things" probably gets regulator's panties in a bunch.

SpaceX is doing development the right way, planning for multiple failed launches and attempting to learn as much as possible from each one as it develops the final product. This sort of rapid prototyping is orders of magnitude cheaper than trying to perfectly engineer everything right from the start. Downside is increased risk of unintended consequences on the initial test launches.
The last papers I read on the subject clearly stated that it appears to be a real language given the word and character distributions but it can only be a tonal language, like Sino-Tibetan or Meso-American.

Which in my opinion makes the old Marco Polo delegate theories the most probable, but all through the lenses of European culture.
Lobbying is part of democracy. Lobbying is neither good or bad. It's certain groups who are lobbying that you may feel corrupts democracy. But that's a feature of democracy; it also includes those who want to corrupt it. Lobbying is essential for legislation advocacy. Lobbying is how lawmakers get educated. How do lawmakers know what issues to address? What legislation to pass?
It would be unfair if the term was fair to begin with, but it wasn't, according to that court.

What would be interesting is to see Apple revealing the cost of its lobbying, to claim a claw back. It won't.

It turned out great for Ireland yes, it is odd the court didn't fine that country for offering illegal tax terms.
My son is an anomaly and loves, loves VR (Oculus Quest 2). He'll play Ghost of Tabor all day long if he can. He played Compound a ton, played the hell out of Boneworks during the pandemic, and generally just loves it more than regular 2D games. However, it is hard to get anyone to play with him, which limits his enjoyment. A big part is that when he played a ton of Boneworks during the pandemic, he pushed beyond his VR sickness and was able to build up a hell of a tolerance and so nothing phases him in VR anymore. By far it is his favorite form of entertainment and it sucks that it hasn't taken off more.

It certainly limits my enjoyment, because I don't have the time to build up the tolerance and I can go max 30m, whereas he can go 3+ hours easy.

I do admit though, that played even the limited amount I have has somewhat ruined the 2d experience of games for me - VR is just so much more visceral!
The Bloom filter he uses has k=8, that is 8 cache line misses per entry. (k=8 is in the command line output). A "blocked Bloom fiter" requires only one cache line miss per entry, with a slightly worse false positive rate.

With a good implementation it would be roughly 10 times faster, eg a SIMD implementation. For example here https://github.com/FastFilter/fastfilter_cpp/blob/master/src... (there are others)
This made me laugh then ponder. That's exactly it.
Sometimes unions will call for a consumer boycott during a strike, but sometimes they won't. Unsure what the NYT tech union is asking for (or not asking for) at the moment.

And I can see why it can make sense to not call for a boycott. If workers are on strike, but consumer demand remains strong and their needs aren't being met, it puts pressure on management. Like if mail drivers go on strike, everyone stops getting deliveries, and suddenly it's obvious how critical those drivers are.
Lots of games still come out broken on PC to the point where it’s a worse experience, like UE4 games having shader compilation stutter.
Another book about a civil servant doing great things is “Racing for the bomb” about General Leslie Groves who built the Pentagon and led the Manhattan Project, completing both in record time.

"Stop'n'grow" is a famous example product. Doesn't work for me, I'm apparently that determined to chew them, and clearly not bothered to the point of actually breaking that habit! I think part of the problem is, by the time I get the taste, I've cut the nail enough that I can't just leave it. Maybe I need to do both that kind of stuff, and ensure I have nail trimmers near to hand :D

Sorry about that! I'd need to learn a bit more about your setup.

For starters could you remove the `packageManager` from the `package.json` entirely and try again?

if you're available, we can do a quick video call and I'll see exactly what happens on your side as I cannot reproduce it atm
what is even crazier, is its not just Americans impacted by this. If you have a green card, but not working in the USA, you're impacted by this mess too.
Well, depends on if a given "general consumer" has basic computer literacy.

If the answer is "yes" then I would say Steam is 100% of the way there. In that case the slight overhead of a desktop OS is not an issue.

The NYT isn't left-wing in any context, other than one a segment of the US inherited from Glenn Beck some time in the 90s. It is an establishment paper, and energetically capitalist and interventionist.

Why does your link say that their profit is up 60%(!) since 2020?

edit: tbh, I think people think the NYT is left-wing only because they associate NYC with Jewish people, and they're still steeped in conspiracy theories of "Judeobolshevism." So I guess that's on the Dreyfus affair (through Ezra Pound, Eustace Mullins and the Birchers.)

The NYT is a paper owned by a rich family that has always praised every dictator the CIA has praised, and passed on any lie they were asked to.

Let's say a city builds a bridge that doubles its tax income by opening up a lot of economic opportunities. It pays for this with a 35 year bond. During these 35 years, the entire additional income that the bridge generated goes towards paying off the bond. After the 35 years the bond is paid off and the city enjoys permanently raised tax income (not to mention better economy for residents).

Was there a problem that the city spent 1/2 of tax income on just servicing the debt?
I think you hovered over something significant: yes, most of the "new features" of the new phones are software features … but the line between "what is software and what is hardware" may not be crystal clear to a lot of the population.

Imagine the effect of a TV spot touting a new OS feature on the new iPhone. Do I need the new phone to get that feature? As soon as you've asked the question, you're at the doorstep of "I wasn't thinking about it, but I will need to replace the battery soon ($$) and it's been getting slower …"

You may learn the feature is available in an OS update, but it's inconsequential: you've already rolled the idea of a new phone around and remember how nice it is to start fresh. This one may not get you, but next year's definitely will.

Some confusion around hardware -vs- software is key to draw people in.

I was once working in a company producing software / operating systems for smart cards (such as the chips on your credit cards). We developed a simulator for the hardware that logged all changes to registers, memory and other states in a very large ring buffer, allowing us to undo / step backwards through code. With RAM being large, those chips being slow, and some snapshotting, we were usually able to undo back to the reset of the card. That was a game changer regarding debugging the OS.

as well as drag my feet by placing any and all other tasks in front of these.

Maybe the FAA can raise funds by starting a Disney-esque line jumper program. How much money do you have? Send it to us to get to the front of the line. Very similar to the simplified IRS tax form.
It basically works fine, but there are some annoying edge cases that even I, a jj developer, have run into. Probably the most "common" one (and it's not that common, just moreso than the rest) when you switch branches with different `.gitignore` files, you may stop ignoring some junk from the other branch when you switch. Kind of annoying.

But it's overall pretty marginal in projects with good ignore hygiene, and there are solutions to that problem too (to varying degrees of ease.)
