The survey (https://career-research.mynavi.jp/reserch/20241003_86953/) which is the basis for the 1 in 5 claim seems sus, I would bet it's not true. (I don't read Japanese, but had Claude read it for me; if someone who does read Japanese could confirm, that would be interesting.)

They say 16.6% of people who changed jobs last year used these services, but only 23.2% of companies report having any employees use them. If 16.6% is correct, the % of companies number should be much higher, supposing companies have multiple resignations per year.

The method for the first number on how they found their respondents is described just as "internet survey," with no further info. There are a lot of ways to do this that would over-sample people who use these services.

Wow, I thought running a business was supposed to be the only job you can't quit because it's the job you pay to own.
If you look at the front edge of the Magic Mouse, you will see that it is very thin. The top service some down to just a few millimeters above the desk surface. There isn’t room for a port there. Apple would have to redesign the mouse and they clearly don’t want to do that.

If you talk to people who use the Magic Mouse, they will mostly tell you that it is a non-issue. The mouse goes months on a charge and charges quickly. Just plug it in and grab a cup of coffee.
You have to be forgiving with Apple, they're down to their last 60 billion cash-on-hand, and with inflation that's not as much as it used to be.

It is worth recognizing the role that ZIRP played in all of this. Artificially low interest rates allowed payments on more expensive premium vehicles to be much more manageable for a much larger portion of the population.
The problem is not that he does not know everything, it is very normal to learn all the time (xkcd 1053, etc.).

I'd add that "armed" doesn't mean necessarily a firearm. I don't know what threshold is used in after-action reports (written by those involved or others), but presumably finding a pocket knife on someone counts as "armed".

Would personal protection devices (mace, batons etc) count as armed.

Call me a cynic, but 104 people being 'unarmed' makes me think the reports in those cases simply lack creativity in defining "arms" and, (again cynically) I expect some number of the other cases the individuals were either helpfully discovered to be armed after the fact. (And in some cases actually provided with arms after the fact.)
Who said that we want native apps to be able to do that?

There are some use cases for those permissions but we (some) would like more control into that. I can't fight most of the websites as a user (they will tell me to use chrome) but it is for them hard to tell me if you want the service (along a billion other user) then move to android. Apple for a better or worse have much more sway than individual user.
It says "the issue is that VMLOAD/VMSAVE support is being wrongly advertised on the Zen 4 client processors". Is the advertising of support not the responsibility of the chip itself?

Library authors were the main target group, I think.

Without generics, your library has to define interfaces that your users have to implement and it all gets a bit strange and unintuitive.

With generics you can write library code that is easier to use.

The thing I was worried about with this (adding generics) is that we'd start moving more towards the NPM Hell of everyone just writing plumbing code for imported packages. But thankfully that hasn't happened and idiomatic Go still tends to just use the standard lib and very few external packages.

"Why autocomplete within software development may be a dead end"

I can't think of many things more boring than arguing whether "autocomplete is bad" or "autocomplete is superpower".

Autocomplete is more advanced = saves you more time at first, but because you still need to review the autocompleted part and know exactly how it works it does not save as much time as you thought.

News at 11.

For 100500th time it turns out that typing speed is not the bottleneck if you are doing anything original and generating more code in less time is not such a win as you'd think. However, we don't always get to do original stuff, and 90% of programmers do unoriginal stuff 90% of the time.

An interesting question is whether autocomplete that autocompletes based on others code without their permission is stealing but even that is less interesting in software because mostly licenses are permissive (not so much in art etc)

Story time: a few years ago I got a call out of the blue from some guy claiming to be a lawyer working for my old company. He named a specific product that I'd built for them a couple years prior and said they're embroiled in this huge lawsuit over it and that I defrauded them, they're coming after me personally for millions in damages, I'll never work in the industry again, etc.

I got off the phone scared shitless, barely slept that night googling my legal liability and searching for lawyers.

Someone I know suggested it might be a prank, so I called the legal team at the company and they had no clue what I was talking about. It was a troll. Never did quite figure out who was behind it, but the moral of the story is people can be mean sometimes and troll you just for kicks.

You're assuming that down-votes are used to assess the quality of the post, and not agreement with the content.

I would suggest that both appear here. Personally I would prefer votes to be on quality of post rather than popularity of position as that leads to the possibility of examining an issue from multiple viewpoints.

(When responding to a post that has been thought out, but down voted, I feel the need to point out that although I disagree, I'm not the one downvoting.)

I do think that voting improves the quality overall. But a better system might be separate options for 'agree/disagree' vs 'quality / pithy' posts. (I also thinkbthis would be horrible UI, so meh)

Summary of online discussions on Apple mouse design flaws
Based on the provided information, many online users have engaged in heated discussions about the design flaws of Apple's mouse, particularly in terms of the charging port location, ergonomics, and functionality. Many believe that the design of the Apple mouse is seriously flawed and not worth buying.
Charging port location issues:
●
Many users expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Apple mouse's charging port being placed at the bottom, considering this design to be extremely impractical.
●
They point out that users cannot continue to use the mouse when it needs to be charged, which causes significant inconvenience in the workflow.
●
Although some users believe that the charging frequency is not high and the charging speed is fast, others say that the battery low prompts are not timely, often leading to work interruptions.
●
Some users believe that Apple should move the charging port to the front of the mouse so that users can use it while charging.
●
However, some users point out that the front of the Magic Mouse is very thin and may not have enough space to accommodate a charging port.
Ergonomic issues:
●
Many users criticize the poor ergonomic design of the Apple mouse, arguing that prolonged use can cause wrist pain.
●
They believe that compared to other ergonomically designed mice, the Apple mouse's low profile and lack of side buttons make it difficult for users to comfortably grip and operate.
●
Some users suggest that Apple offer other ergonomic mouse options to meet the needs of different users.
Functionality issues:
●
Some users criticize the Apple mouse for its lack of a physical scroll wheel and right-click function, arguing that this limits its functionality and practicality.
●
They point out that in some cases, such as gaming or applications that require precise operation, a physical scroll wheel and right-click are essential.
●
Although the Apple mouse supports multi-touch gestures, some users find these gestures unintuitive, prone to accidental touches, and may even lead to repetitive strain injuries.
Other opinions:
●
Some users believe that the sleek design of the Apple mouse is its main selling point, which may be enough to compensate for its functional shortcomings for users who value aesthetics.
●
Other users point out that the deep integration of the Apple mouse with the macOS system can provide a smooth operating experience.
●
However, some users believe that this deep integration also limits the compatibility of the Apple mouse on other operating systems.
●
Additionally, some users believe that the price of the Apple mouse is too high and does not match its performance and functionality.
Conclusion:
While some users appreciate its sleek design and integration with the macOS system, many are dissatisfied with the Apple mouse's charging port location, ergonomics, and functionality. Many users believe that the design of the Apple mouse is flawed and not worth buying.

These seem like full-year numbers, but they're much lower than what I'd expect if 23.2% is the half-year number — implying a huge jump in 2024?

You are building an SQL in disguise.

First, you need to encode "memes" and relations between them at scale. This is not a language problem, it is data handling problem.

Second, at some point of time you will need to query memes and relations between them, again, at scale. While expression of queries is a language problem, an implementation will heavily use what SQL engines does use.

And you need to look at Cyc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyc

It does what you are toing do for 40 (forty) years now.

Labor rights are far stronger in Japan than countries like the US, but like regulations everywhere, are only as strong as they are actively enforced, where companies suffer meaningful penalties for violating them. Japan is by no means a place where this is true, such that companies fear violating them.
Very plausible, but that would also be noteworthy. As I've mentioned in some other comments here, (as far as I know) we outside of DeepMind don't know anything about the computing power required to run alphaproof, and the tradeoff between computing power required and the complexity of problems it can address is really key to understanding how useful it might be.

It's just amazing how little progress in space flight has been since then and since the Apollo missions. I was just looking at some newspapers from 1969 (saved by my mother-in-law) and it was all about the Moon mission, and what awaits us - they talked about settlements throughout the Solar system, flying cars and so on and so on. Given what happened since, it was a huge disappointment. And now ancient Voyager is our last best hope to explore the outer rim.
As someone who occasionally works with front-end, the massive difference the various values of contain makes feels overly complex. Will be a tough one memorizing.
Many of those things can be modelled as functions, they just need to actually be written that way (e.g. if you have a function that requires some resource, maybe it should require that resource! If it depends on the date/time, maybe it should depend on the date/time! If it returns a nondeterministic value, maybe it should return a nondeterministic value!). I think the functional programming approach shines partly because it forces you to take these things seriously: if you want to use e.g. implicitly shared resources, you need to model that, and "functions" that rely on implicitly shared resources are going to be explicitly distinct from actual function functions.

Yep exactly. I’d argue they create echo chambers far more than we’d like to admit. It’s also not simply voting but also algorithmic of sorting content by likes, and implicitly excluding anything under a certain threshold.

I’ve felt this way for nearly twenty years now, coinciding with the rise of reddit, twitter, and facebook alongside the decline of forums, blogs, and rss.

On any topic with even slight amount of contention, you very quickly see people aligning toward the one-true-belief because they observe and react to the crowd supporting that opinion.

> ...your contribution is pearl clutching over notional mandates...

These two ideas are actually somewhat contradictory, I recommend picking one. You can't return to good governance by ignoring governance every time you think something needs to be done.

And you don't need the EPA to be involved to defend against these sort of risks. In fact, standardising the IT approach through the EPA will might increase the risk since any vulnerabilities will be more likely to be standardised. Highly heterogeneous systems are expensive and difficult to cripple. If an adversary wants to attack there is a single point of failure they can target - the EPA process.
It depends. Is it truly common functionality that, if improved upon, should apply to all dependent code?

Or is it just getting from point A to point B that happens to be the same in two places right this instant?

I worry that this post assumes LLMs won't get much better over time. This is possible, but YC bets that they will. The right time to start an LLM application layer company is arguably 6-12 months before LLMs get good enough for that purpose, so you can be ahead of the curve.
I'm effectively a complete layman in this (although I do see some parallels to physical positional encoders, which is interesting) so at first read this entire thing went WAAAAY over my head. At first glance it seemed to be way overcomplicated just to encode position, so I figured I was missing something. ChatGPT was super helpful in explaining spiking neural networks to me so I just spent 20 minutes asking ChatGPT to explain this to me and I feel like I actually learned something.

Then at the end I asked ChatGPT how this all relates to how it operates and it was interesting to see things like:

Yeah we've had 20 years or more of sites trying to find a good formula now. Slashdot's ratings and meta-ratings back in the day, where you rated something as Insightful/Informative etc, and then every so often you were asked to review other user's ratings so their future ratings could be weighted ... technically interesting but really cumbersome.

I like HN's choice not to display ratings on other people's posts, and I like the simple UI. I think it's better with up and down votes than without... I don't think we're going to find a perfect scheme but that doesn't mean we should abandon the imperfect ones.

There's many people who would reasonably disagree with a course like this, because there are no elected positions in the EPA.
