>>How did the ports "go too far"? They agreed to 50% raises over 6 years. That's still well above inflation.

>I think you can look up all the stipulations dock workers had to put up with, especially over the pandemic. But just to keep it to this question: we had inflation a lot crazier than 7% or so they initially offered.

Since the start of the pandemic (Jan 2020) till August 2024 (the latest date for which data is available), the cumulative inflation has been 21%. Inflation has also mostly returned back to normal. The last few prints were around 3% YOY. In light of all this, 50% over 6 years is ludicrous.

>Yeah, sounds like a pension by another name of "royalties". I'm sure the first thing to automate out is whatever they define "container royalties" as. Even if it is indeed less efficient.

The difference is that pensions are "earned" through years of service, and are agreed on ahead of time. Asking for payments for no work being done, under the threat of labor disruptions is closer to a shakedown.
Self-hosting JIRA and Confluence was a double edged sword:

Done badly it meant you suffocated the application server with too little resources giving dreaded "super slow JIRA" effect.

Done well it meant you didn't have to deal with Atlassian underprovisioning resources in the cloud or having rigid maintenance times that didn't fit with your company needs.

The Nobel prize is aimed at the general public. It has a kind of late 19th century progressive humanistic ethos. It's science outreach. This way, at least once a year, the everyday layperson hears about scientific discoveries.

The Nobel isn't a vehicle to recognize hundreds of thousands of deeply technical scientific researchers. How could it be? They have to pick a symbolic figurehead to represent a breakthrough.

They could also simply give it to "DeepMind" similar to how they give the peace prize to orgs sometimes, or how the Time Person of the Year is sometimes something abstract as well (like the cutesy "You" of 2006). But it would be silly. Just deal with it, we can't "recognize" hundreds of thousands, and we want to see a personal face, not a logo of a company getting the award. That's how we are, better learn to deal with it.
At least CS is a real discipline in the actual spirit of the original prizes, whereas (as the Nobel family has pointed out) the economics prize probably has Alfred Nobel rolling in his grave.

It’s still a non-answer to the original question. Look, we all get that you’re a fan and there’s nothing wrong with that (especially here) but overstating things does not help the cause. Nuclear power proponents often act like there’s some conspiracy to suppress the technology when basic economics is a simpler explanation. In this case, it’s great that progress is happening but it’s still the case that if our goal is decarbonizing you’ll see almost immediate reductions taking the same money and bringing renewables online a decade or more sooner. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t consider nuclear for some of the edge cases but there’s still too much R&D needed for it to be a primary source.
The paper has a mention : "These

However, it appears that some the authors were more equal than others.
> You're talking about marketers who have a "Job to be done" which is to make content and get it in front of some target audience

That’s not their job. Their job is to sell stuff (or make it more likely to be bought anyway). How they sell stuff is something they can determine themselves.

You’d think that at some level the ‘faster websites sell more’ speech gets through to them, but the important distinction there is that many do not care about what their job is (just like many recent engineers), they just care that it’s easy to do and they don’t get fired. So… Wordpress.
Language is just part of the problem. Unicode lets you store text as entered, but what you do with that text completely depends on what your problem domain is. When you're writing software to validate that the name on someone's ID matches that on a ticket, you're probably going to normalise that name to your (customer's) locale rather than render each name in the locale it was originally written in. As long as you keep your locale settings consistent and don't do bad stuff like "iterate over characters and individually transform them", you're probably fine, unless your problem domain calls for something else.

If you're printing a name, you're probably printing the name for the current user, not for the person who entered it at some point. If you're going to try to convert back like that, you also need to store a timestamp with every string in case a language changes its rules (such as permitting ẞ instead of SS when capitalising ß). And even then, someone might intend to use the new spelling rules, or they might not, who knows!

This article probably boils down to "programmers don't realise graphemes aren't characters and characters aren't bytes even though they usually are in US English". The core problem, "text processing looks easy as long as you only look at your own language", is one that doesn't just affect computers.

Your best bet is to just avoid the entire problem by not processing input further than basic input sanitisation, such as removing whitespace prefixes/suffixes and maybe stripping out invalid unicode so it can't be used as a weird stored attack.
Yeah, and I'd expect that treatment as a white person working/living in India, and I would adapt to fit in with local customs / culture or else leave. But they are in the US, working for a US company - why is it somehow acceptable when you are a foreigner to create these isolated professional enclaves that exclude the "native" population?

(A group of people casually getting together is totally different to someone's work environment where they have to attend to bring a paycheck home - I'm talking exclusively about professional/work environments)
The parent post was clearly asking how to fight back against a culture of exclusionism against non-Indians, which leads to racism.
The Nobel prize cannot go to a team so they have to pick individuals. This is true for many (most?) nobel prize awards. Consider for example the discovery of gravity waves - the team that built and operated LIGO was huge, but they have to pick. This has commonly been the case since the inception of the prizes - the professor gets the prize, the PhD students and postdocs don't usually. Not saying this is right, but it's the way it is.
Weird. I've seen far better results elsewhere.
Then maybe Sergey and Larry should also get the prize since they founded Google, which owns Deepmind?

Did the first claw even sell well? That said, the Steam Deck competitors aren't interesting to me without the touchpads and four back buttons.
Yup. One of the most fundamental parts of the human experience is that everything is relative.

So, when someone wants to feel better, or even objectively have it better, the easiest way to do it is to make sure there is someone else having it worse nearby.

And doing that all the time based off fuzzy, changeable things like merit is a lot of work. Or even worse, something that someone has to do all the time or maintain, like results or wealth.

Both for the downtrodden trying to improve their station, and the ones ‘on top’ trying to keep them down.

Much more stable to systematize it, and use things like permanent labels on entire family lines, eh? And bonus points if you can do it in a fine grained enough way, that essentially everyone has someone lower than them to shit on.

Then all anyone has to do is exist, and push the buttons provided for them. Easy peasy.

They were not equal contributors to the seminal paper that got the prize.

The really crazy part is Cassie is not just some random, unknown seller to eBay...she has actually written almost 200 articles for (now) eBay-owned TCGPlayer about Magic The Gathering since 2020 with the most recent one being published on September 27, 2024.

https://infinite.tcgplayer.com/author/Cassie-LaBelle?p=1

eBay acquired TCGPlayer in October 2022 and have been paying her to create content for them since.

"Good enough" for what? We're in the middle of an AI arms race. Why do you believe people would choose to run the same LLMs on cheaper equipment instead of using the greater efficiency to train and run even larger LLMs?

Given LLM performance seems to scale with their size, this would result in more powerful models, which would grow the applicability, use and importance of AI, which would in turn grow the use and importance of Nvidia's hardware.

So this theory doesn't really stack up for me.

X is unlikely to be Plutarque, for https://www.napoleon.org/wp-content/thumbnails/uploads/2009/... (depicting him at 15) was supposedly made with some input from the principal himself, and the book is supposed to be the Lives (also frequently mentioned by others in a cursory search).

The Nobel prize isn't awarded for a paper. Even if (and that's a large if) all of these contributed equally to the results in the paper, some obviously did more than others to prepare the ground for that study.

But they are in the US, working for a US company - why is it somehow acceptable when you are a foreigner to create these isolated professional enclaves that exclude the "native" population?

Non-Hispanic white Americans are not native to the US, and I don't see a reasonable basis for concluding that non-Hispanic white culture should be the "native" or "default" culture in the US.

Sure, it might be the dominant culture — but there are other subcultures like Black or Hispanic cultures that are pretty strong here. Would you feel comfortable asking how to stop a group of Black coworkers from going to a restaurant that serves Black cuisine, or Hispanic coworkers from going to the local taqueria? If not, then why are you singling out Indians?
Would using this neural network based on integer addition be faster? The paper does not claim it would be faster, so I'm assuming not?

Show HN: A better way to browse arXiv AI research papers
Hey HN, I've built a site to help discover AI research papers by categorising them into research topics which can be explored.

Keeping up with the latest research is hard, particularly if you are interested in more niche research that doesn't make the front page of HN or trend on twitter, so I built this so I can explore the topics I am interested in. There has been a bunch of tools based on arXiv shown on HN before, and of course well known ones like arxiv-sanity, but none that really worked in the topic/timeline based layout that I wanted (I found after starting mine that Semantic Scholar’s topic beta is closest!).

The papers are from arXiv categories most related to AI/ML and goes back to a few years worth of papers, currently updated once daily.

In the backend it uses embedding models to cluster keyphrases from each paper, that is then used to generate the topics. The generated names of the topics is not completely perfect yet, I have improvements to make but have been focused on building the frontend to get something out there!

Right now you can sign in and save papers - in the future I want to add in the ability to follow topics to get personalised updates, along with a bunch of other features.

I am interested to hear if anyone finds the site useful!

Hence the quotation marks: "native" - you're just derailing a legitimate line of reasoning.

> I don't see a reasonable basis for concluding that European-American culture should be the "native" or "default" culture in the US

Like it or not, it is the dominant culture especially in professional environments. If you want to have a conversation about why that is the case, what else it could be, etc. thats fine! But it's not the kind of conversation I'm looking to have here.

> Would you feel comfortable asking how to stop a group of Black coworkers from going to a restaurant that serves Black cuisine, or Hispanic coworkers from going to the local taqueria?

If they are doing it to the detriment of the overall business yes! - the line of reasoning follows for a predominantly Black business that is having a White enclave forming. Or a Hispanic cultured business with a Slavic enclave forming. Even more importantly a multicultural environment which is having 1 group overtake it. It's fundamentally a job of business leaders to set the tone and direction of company culture - and this is one aspect of it.
