Lol wut. Google needs to be sued if it can do or does it.
I'd say the same. But 90% of my time not writing code. It is mostly time wasted with github and k8s build issues.
I have spent most of my life in the UK, which has no national ID card and does not typically require one to prove/verify identify on a regular basis. Prior to the introduction of voter ID laws in 2023, typically one would simply need to give their name/address at the polling station, who would have a list of eligible voters for that specific region (in the UK one has an assigned polling station, of which there are around 30.000 total for a population of 70.000.000)

If you require voter ID in such a state (and I believe the US is comparable), you run the risk of systematically disenfranchising groups of people - generally the most poor who are less likely to drive, take vacations requiring a passport, etc.

And, as I mentioned, in the UK at least vote fraud is not, and has never been a problem. You can see the recorded instances of electoral fraud in the UK here: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/research-reports-and-... - e.g. in 2022 (before vote ID) there were 13 alleged cases and 1 conviction.
I think it depends.

As an analogy, when you're having an in-person conversation, how often do you pause and think before responding, versus forming your thought and speaking it in real-time? There's definitely times to stop and think for a moment before replying, but there's also times where I'm speaking my thoughts as it's formed.

Likewise, if you're comfortable and quick and "at home" with typing, then I'd argue there's no reason you can't type as you're forming your thought just like you speak as you're forming your thought.

(Admittedly I'm typing this on my phone, so not at the speed of my thoughts right now, but I know for sure I've done it over Slack with my coworkers and group chats on Telegram, especially when shooting short quick questions and answers back and forth)
You miss the point. It's not that I enact authority over my system in every detail all the time, but I want the ability to choose authority on the aspects that matter to me in a given circumstance.
Different audiences.

You tell investors that AI is freaking magic and going to usher in an age of savings and productivity gains.

You tell your developers that it's a neat autocomplete, they should use carefully.
Well you're really just describing benchmarks- if the benchmark doesn't represent your standard workflow then it probably isn't a good reference for you. But Geekbench includes a bunch of components based on real-world applications like file compression, web browsing, and PDF rendering. So it probably isn't perfect, but it's likely that the M4 will feel a bit faster in regular use compared to an older generation MacBook Pro.
Please spare me that "war" simile, it only shows you're an American who can not write too well.

It’s understandable that you don’t like the desensitization of war that comes from our over usage of the word. Perhaps it speaks to a defect in American culture but this is how we communicate in our language. I think Arabic has too much emphasis on allah related phrases. But that’s how they speak. Nothing I can do about it. I don’t think said usage implies anything about their writing abilities.

How I learned this is when I took up learning a new (custom) keyboard layout, I realized that I don't actually type that much for work or play in a day. I had to specifically do typing exercises to pick it up faster. I probably still only type at 70 wpm on the new layout but my hands are way more comfortable now.
The only other scheme I like is Catppuccin (I use Catpuccin Frappé in dark mode, as it's the lightest of the dark variants.) A colleague recommended it and I was a quick convert.

See https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin or https://catppuccin.com/ . I wish they included screenshots, it's really hard to say 'check out this theme' without being able to link one. And I can't screenshot the code I have available in VSCode ;)
>I dont think there should be a penalty by default.

I do.

>The objective of a company isnt and shouldn't be to run a charity.

Charities pay employees too. 501ks don't mean you run on all volunteers and that it's okay to remove them at your whim. Horrible metaphor.

Anyways, a company has 3 goals

1. serve the customer

2. support your labor to enable efficient production

3. overall stimulate the economy and society

These all help the bottom line of "make profit". Shareholders have little stake here so it's annoying that that is all they prioritize lately. because you then break all 3 rules just for them, who will leave on a whim for some other speculation. And then they wonder why they lose money as workers burnout and leave, as customers get frustrated and move, and the economy gets worse as money is pocketed to the rich instead of the public.

It'a all a horrid death spiral. It needs to stop. It will stop forcefully if not voluntarily.

>It is slow and expensive to hire people and let them go.

And who's fault is that? I don't remember shouting in glee whenever I hear 5 rounds of interviews, including 2 rounds dedicated to trivia.

>Its actually incredibly hard to to figure out which people to cut in an efficient manner.

it is. That's why Hanlon's razor simply tells me they aren't trying very hard. They need to cut numbers, maxiize money and care about next quarter next quarter. efficiency wasn' prioritized before the layoffs, why would it be now?

1. Tell them you have one other offer (or late stage interview).

2. Ask for more money and/or more shares (if you think the shares are any good).
It does in chrome on android (1080 px wide screen, standard ppi & zoom levels) but not by enough that you see it on the main body text (scrolling just reveals more margin), so you might find it does for you too but not enough that you noticed.

As it is scrolling here, though inconsequentially, it might be bad on a smaller device with less screen and/or other ppi settings.
"Just" does quite a bit of heavy lifting here. VSCode and Zed are much easier to use than emacs or vim. To me as a user, emacs lisp (and lisp in general) is the worse language compared to TypeScript which I can work with.

I have used both unbearably slow IDEs like Visual Studio, Android Studio, Atmel Studio and very fast and lightweight editors like Notepad++ and Sublime Text.

I don't have any issue with the speed of VS-Code on my machine and it feels the same as Sublime Text used to.
If I’m being too generous in this discussion (and I was trying to be), saying “whatever the compiler does this week” is far too harsh. The Rust Project has a commitment to stability that they’ve followed through with for almost a decade now. The amount of times my existing code has broken has been very, very low.
How can adding more steps, more processing time, possibly longer distances if these hops are not in a straight line, cause a decrease in latency?

More hops = more latency. The fastest way is a straight line between origin and destination.
I am struggling to come up with a sentence where using the acronym "BATNA" provides additional utility compared to just using "alternative" (or "option").

Do we know for a fact that the mechanisms are actually used that way inside the model?

My understand was that they know how the model was designed to be able to work, but that there's been very little (no?) progress in the black box problem so we really don't know much at all about what actually happens internally.

Without better understanding of what actually happens when an LLM generates an answer I stick with the most basic answer that its simply predicting what a human would say. I could be wildly misinformed there, I don't work directly in the space and its been moving faster than I'm interested in keeping up with.
So no one owns a quarter of the new code at google. It's going to be very funny when it hits 100%.
How does C# fares in terms of portability these days? I checked years ago, and at the time, for non-Windows OSes you had to use Mono. But whether your application was going to work or not also depended on which graphic libraries you were using, e.g. WinForms wasn't going to work on Mono. At the time, C# was presented to me as a better Java, but to me it seemed that Java had true cross-platform compatibility while C# was going to work nicely only on Windows, unless you had some proper planning of checking beforehand which libraries were working with Mono.
As someone who has studied genetics on my own for the last twenty years I am very glad to read this editorial.

For example, take a population of 100 people, and let us say one of them has gene changes in their Fatty Acid Desaturase genes (FADS1 an d FADS2) that change how important Long Chain Omega 3 Fatty Acids (like from fish) are for them. This happens more often in people from indigenous arctic populations.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000291652...

So the researcher tests if omega 3 effects cardiovascular outcome in these hundred people by adding a lot more fish oil to the diet of these 100 people. Since only one of them really needs it, the P value will be insignificant and everyone will say fish oil does nothing. Yet for that one person it was literally everything.

This is talked about only quietly in research, but I think the wider population needs to understand this to know how useless p < 0.05 is when testing nutritional effects in genetically diverse populations.

Much better than a subscription! A small, once-off cost for something that took work seems completely reasonable.

Do you ask for a license to port Monokai to a new IDE? I'd love to extend it to one I work on and ship it with the product. Maybe that includes Pro?
Well my understanding is that there's ultimately the black box problem. We keep building these models and the output seems to get better, but we can't actually inspect how they work internally.

Teflon itself is not the issue (unless it goes over about 260°C), but the PFAs which should have been phased out of modern non-stick coatings. The problem is if the surface is scratched from using metal utensils or scourers as this can cause PFAs to leach into the food.

Ask HN: How much are you spending on AI?
Hello there!

I'm working in a company where we use an AI provider (Anthrophic) and I'm curious how much are some of you folks spending on it, be it OpenAI, Anthrophic, etc., (when the company objective per-se is not AI) on features to support the core functions of the product.

Just for reference, yesterday I spent almost $10 while developing in my local machine, and it felt like "a lot".

PS: I understand that this is a question that the business needs to address too, i.e. understanding the margins of the product taking into account all costs. Which might imply that sometimes $1 per day is too much, or $1k per day is cheap.

Consider this Ask HN as curiosity driven :D
Ruul, previously known as Rimuut, emerged in 2017, born out of a vision to redefine flexible work with efficiency, compatibility, and universality at its core.

Ruul began as a solution in invoicing and payment collection, aiding 20,000 organizations and 75,000 freelancers globally. Its growth has been propelled by recent shifts in the work landscape.

Rebranded as Ruul in late 2022, the name embodies "ruling"—a nod to the emerging flexible work culture valuing autonomy, where professionals govern their work arrangements aligned with their values and interests.

Ruul is here to lead the change in work dynamics for people to be able, motivated, and entitled to self-govern their careers and lives autonomously.

If we change that from "women just generally aren't interested in software development at the same rate that men are" to "women aren't as interested in software development as a career at the same rate as men" then it might not be so wrong.

I remember reading about a large study of pre-college students in OECD countries that found that while the top students in STEM fields were about equally split between boys and girls, for the boys it was more likely that they were only top in a STEM field. The girls were more likely to be top students in multiple fields.

Students tend to go on to the field they are best in. For the top boy STEM students that tends to be STEM. For the top girl STEM students the field they are best in often turns out to be one of the non-STEM fields they are also top in.

Ah, memories. Page 117 was part of my teenage experimentation with the occult.

At the time I had no way to find out what an "ashstock" was or what Bujan represented.

Now, I'm guessing that "ashstock" is "the stump of an ash tree" with "stock" in the sense of the etymological root meaning "stick" or "tree trunk" and from which the various modern uses derive: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stock#Etymology_1

And Bujan is a magical island in East Slavic folklore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyan

>A promise to keep people employed?

It's called the "social contract". You do good work and make me money, I keep you around and let you keep doing good work. It's equally a cynical and fair interpretation of a company.

This was broken long ago, so I understand it being a foreign concept, but it's something my grandparents told me about when giving me my bootstraps to pick myself up with. Now it doesn't matter how much you make them because you can't outpay their ability to save on tax breaks or make funny monopoly number go up. So we're all doomed.

>Firing someone you hired is not a broken promise.

depends on the contract and laws around it. This is far from universal unlike the social contract described above.
Never said there was. No system is foolproof, and a lot of today's security is so good that the users usually are the weakest links in a system. Still, some are more secure than others and there's a difference between a person being tricked to give up their credentlials and a zero day.
It had already been bought some time ago, this was stated as a reinstall.

Using a pirate copy now might avoid the rootkit, but it would not send a message to the publisher as they'll not see a difference between not getting any money for this new install and not getting any money for this new install. Any difference in a numbers-playing stat, if the pirate version doesn't call home to be counted in those, is likely not significant.

It's a real-time 3D rendering technique, for one thing -- you can't paint this.

The term painterly refers to non-photorealistic computer graphics art styles that mimic some aspects of painterly paintings.
