You seem to be implying that this percentage is very low, so how could it be responsible for climate change?

You seem to be doing the opposite of your question, knowing the answer to the question and then concluding (without knowledge of how the whole system works) that since it's so low that it couldn't be responsible for drastic changes.

>It's also the small family companies like Zildjian that worked around unions.

It's surprising to you that no businesses of any size like unions? It's like finding out mice don't like cats regardless of size.
In many of the areas I am talking about teachers, lawyers, doctors, pharmacists, policemen, other government workers, etc can affordably buy a house in those areas.
I already agreed the affiliate industry has issues (and is part of the reason I left). If they switched to first-click or multi-click attribution, none of this would be a problem.

But I am just saying it's not a Honey problem, the blame is focused on the wrong place. If they want things to change, they should direct their rage at the companies who make the rules.
I honestly would prefer to talk to an AI customized to my personalty. I get erratic can change my mind and have get crazy ideas like the earth being flat etc. So if you had an AI you can just be yourself always without any judgement or repercussions. Even if that changes from day to day.

I work a lot with databases and I've seen... stuff. It's not as bad as you might think if you know what you are doing. Most RDBMSs support recursive CTEs, it feels like writing Prolog with a slightly sadistic syntax. For something like AoC the most difficult part is probably parsing the input.
An Intel link to put his role in context: https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/295/i...

Peng Bai, 53, was elected corporate vice president. He is co-director of Logic Technology Development in Intel’s Technology and Manufacturing Group. Logic Technology Development is responsible for the development and transfer of next-generation silicon technologies that will produce future Intel microprocessors and SoCs (system-on-chip). Bai joined Intel in 1991 and is based in Hillsboro, Ore.
It's all part of the actuarial mindset. The entire point of the exercise is to arrive at a model of reality that has some degree of predictive power.

> For me the only things that scare me are in the "I have no data on that" category.

I feel exactly the same way. It means that I have no idea what those things will wind up costing me, and that's the anxiety trigger as far as I'm concerned.
I've tried LLMs for a few exploratory programming projects.
It kinda feels magical the first time you import a dependency you don't know and you get the LLM output what you want to do without you even having the time to think about it.
However, I also think that for any minute I've gained with it I've lost at least one because of hallucinated solutions.

Even for fairly popular things (Terraform+AWS) I continuously got plausible-looking answers. After reading carefully the docs, the use case was not supported at all, so I just went with the 30 seconds (inefficient) solution I had thought of from the start. But I lost more than one hour.

Same story with the Ren'py framework. The issue is that the docs are far from covering everything, and Google sucks, sometimes giving you a decade-old answer to a problem that has a fairly good answer in more recent versions. So it's really difficult to decide how to most efficiently look for an answer between search and LLM. Both can be a stupid waste of time.
It's a thought experiment. I am telling you: "What if, for this person, in this context and situation, we could know for sure what is the best option? Would that person go for the best option or not?" and you answer "it's not possible, you cannot know".

You are right: we cannot know (that's the reason for the debate), but that's beside the point. The point is that in my opinion, if people could know for sure about the quality when they make their choice, then quality would matter to them.
Do we know when Honey started stealing affiliate links? Was it after the acquisition?
"Thanks, I hate it"
Percussion synthesis is a deep and wonderful practice within electronic music, especially techno and especially in its more experimental manifestations. I’ve never encountered anything specifically claiming to emulate specific cymbals but I’m sure it’s out there galore. In any case, cymbal and hihat synthesis is a classic task in techno production.
TEE is nice, but it's a pretty different use case all around, and the two are actually quite complementary:

TEE is effectively an execution environment below ring 0, together with some hardware isolation as you mention. But by itself, solutions based on it can't hold any trusted key material, so can't be used in attestation contexts.

TPMs and other types of secure enclaves or secure elements include secure storage and can come pre-loaded with external root of trust keys, which allows attestation (and by extension trusted computing use cases), but also completely local useful things like enforcing a PIN retry limit on usage of a hardware-stored SSH key.

But since TPMs are by design self-contained and don't have any input or output capabilities, mediating user access via a TEE and some minimal OS providing a user confirmation UI can be very powerful (for example so that malware can't lock you out of your own SSH keys by just entering the PIN incorrectly repeatedly).
>The issue is scummy companies like cloudflare which are causing these issues. If your software is blocking legitimate users then your software is shit at its job. It's not the users fault.

But if you're going out of your way to look suspicious (ie. "I use a heavily customized Firefox config on Linux"), surely you'd agree at some point it goes from "your software is shit at its job" to "it's your fault for looking suspicious"? If you walk into bank wearing a balaclava and get stopped by security, it's not really "security is shit at its job".
You can stay in tech but still do something more artistic. Like I was in the video game industry for a while, that tends to be pretty artistic (I still work on games in my spare time).

I was never in the ad industry (like the type that make interesting and flashy websites) but I suspect someone doing tech for ad companies would exercise those artistic muscles as well. When I was working for a video game publisher I did design a couple of ads for our games using Flash at the time, that played on sites like Kotaku and Gamefaqs, that involved some coding and artistic flair.

Working for a publisher did have very little coding though, and I sometimes wonder if I would have had a more fulfilling life if I stuck with a game producer role. But I was also feeling my coding skills atrophying and I didn't feel comfortable with that either at the time. Still stayed with the publisher until we had a couple releases that unfortunately lost money and the company was shut down by the board of directors, though.
Food safety. It's ironic that in a home setting they can often be better than plastic (people typically don't clean plastic well enough, or replace often enough), but you can't sanitize them like you typically would in a commercial prep area, so they are disallowed/discouraged (based on jurisdiction).
I posted a link to this project a few weeks ago as well! It's really interesting to see an academic project like this one.

Referral sniping is only a half of the scam. The other half is that Honey snipes the code even if they don't find a discount, and that companies pay Honey to prevent it from showing certain coupon codes. They pay for it because

1) thinking you got the best code when another one exists means they get ($best_discount - $honey_discount) more than they would had you actually searched

2) honey gives the false assurance that you are getting the best deal, making you more likely to complete the purchase

So Honey is both sniping referral codes and running a protection racket.
Their problem. They are not entitled to make it other people's problem.

Would there be any way to distribute RAG across multiple smaller models? Rather than one giant model handling your entire document base, have it be more of a tree where the top level classifies the docs into top-level categories and sends it to submodels to subclassify, etc? (Doesn't have to be 1:1 classification). And same for q/a search?

These could all presumably be the same physical instance, just each query would use a different system prompt and perhaps different embeddings. (I'm guessing; I don't actually know how RAG works). So, a little slower and clunkier, but presumably way more efficient. And match could be anywhere between horrible to better-than-one-large-model. This would be more like how businesses organize docs.

Or maybe there's no real benefit to this, and each subclassifier would require just as big of a model as if you were to throw all docs into a single model anyway. I assume it's probably been tried before.

Essentially a suggested donation though and paid by mail. It's pretty much the standard shareware price and you can't be too mad since you got it for free.

Of course, anything is possible, but your opinion then becomes fringe. I'm trying to answer to the parent's question, which was about general sentiment rather than fringe opinions.
This isn't about cost reduction. It's about eliminating any assistance for people who want to continue to use old versions of the software. Adobe is in the cloud/subscription business now, and it wants to make life for people holding on to their local, licensed copies as difficult as possible.

This is an FSF level understanding. Android devices are fully open and you can reflash them to whatever OS you want. Some remote servers won't give you service if you do that, but nothing is locking you out of your device. As Android dominates the global market, you already live in that world where most devices are open.

I think that for cheap stuff, people don't think too much. They will buy what they found. But if they find a choice of 3 ladles and can know which one is better quality, then the quality will matter.

It's just that they won't spend 2 years finding a Korean store. And for manufacturers, it seems like they make more profit by just building worse quality in the first place.

And that's another point: people do care about quality. Manufacturers do not. Manufacturers care about profit. And economists believe that both align perfectly, for some reason I don't get.

> it could be much worse than those two while still being hidden in longevity statistics

I see what you mean, and I think we're basically coming at the same point from different angles. If you are a medical researcher or involved in crafting legislation this is probably important. You could help save millions of lives in aggregate. However, I'm suggesting that individual people should think of the opportunity cost before they panic. After all, a person can only worry about so many things and almost everyone is at or past their capacity.

To use another half baked example, if plastics take away a year, and antibiotics give you 5 extra you still win. However, if smoking cigarettes, obesity, or driving too fast risk taking away 10 years, start with one of those first.

Optimizing the bits of life that are too small to reliably measure is just not a great way to live, unless you've already handled all of the low hanging fruit in your life. Anxiety kills people too.
In most well designed systems the only keys that are useful are held in HSMs that won't export them to anyone, so you can't easily do that. You could at best sign a few things with the keys if you were able to compromise HSM credentials, but, once you were caught your access would be revoked along with anything you signed.
Once you start trying to make a living from anything you do online, you start to realize that literally everything on the internet is gamed to extreme. Even this article was written and posted here for a reason.

If your GitHub repo can in any way provide you with income (from just having something to talk about in an interview or an innocuous “buy me a coffee link”…all the way up to selling $100,000/yr enterprise support plans), you now have a strong incentive to game the system.

And if it’s allowed by the system, then it’s a prisoners dilemma. Because if you DON’T do it, your competition will do it and eat your lunch.

That’s why it’s so important to design high integrity ranking systems.

Free hardware is the dream. I want to replace the proprietary, DRM-bloated CPU on my PC yesterday.

Wake up when my wife does at 7:30 and have a quick pee so I don't have to interrupt her morning bathroom routine.

Open the laptop and start looking around Slack about 9:30, standup at 10, then my schedule is largely up to me: my work is good about minimizing the impact of meetings, probably better than anyplace else I've worked.
If it isn’t the same people your observation is that some people say one thing about one topic and other people say something else about a completely different topic. That is like saying some people like elephants and other people speak Portuguese
This is likely astroturf since they posted it twice, verbatim, in the same article [1], and it uses pretty standard PR deflections (e.g., "So are there some problems with the affiliate industry? Probably. But ...") without actually addressing the central claim.

Your examples include complex instructions and questions, but for simple ON/OFF commands you can go far by pulling key words and ignoring sentence structure. For example, pick out "on" "off" and "light" will work for "turn the light on", "turn off the light", "light on", "I want the light on", etc... Adding modifiers like "kitchen" or "all" can help specify which lights (your "Table lamp: on" example), regardless of how they're used. I'm not saying this a great solution, but it covers pretty much all the basic variations for simple commands and can run on anything.
Good thing the ends matter more than the means.

quick question: Your name is Marius and you're hiring for this startup and archiehub? (a few posts up). What's your relationship to both of these companies?
Our company went completely remote. Turns out it was a ruse to layoff everyone and offshore 70% of the company to India.

As a remote worker, I think the move to remote work is a little naïve. From a company's perspective, if a faceless person from Iowa can do the job just as effectively as someone on site, then you may as well commit and get someone from Bangalore who can do it even cheaper. This middle ground argument that you need to be open to talent from anywhere, but that you should still pay a premium for domestic talent makes no sense to an emotionless organization.

That said, the feudalistic tech management bros that makes these decisions needs to get their heads out of their butts. The problem isn't just that people don't want to go into the office - it's that the cities these jobs are in are overstuffed and underplanned and suck to raise a family.

Having only 6-7 job markets in the entire US for tech workers continues to be dumb and short-sighted, both for cost effeciency as well as the politics of it.
It's a good idea to show a preview of a tool/site when there is more effort required during/post sign up. Some screenshots (or loom video) will be super helpful to understand what folks are signing up for.

All metrics will be gamed at some point. I don't know exactly how you could even fight this.
> This year, that was reconnecting with "unproductive" hobbies like guitar, reading fiction, playing board games and daydreaming in nature.

Wow, labeling them as unproductive feels so crazy to me. Those are among the most "bang for the buck" productive hobbies I can think of.

Doing just one of them regularly will have literally life-changing results that will drastically transform your life. Reading fiction will develop your ability to focus, improve your mental health, develop you empathy and make it easier to connect with other people through shared common cultural experiences. Board games will strengthen your social ties with others, increase your analytical skills, you social skills, everything. I could go on and on.

What would be "productive" hobbies? Leet code?

Though I admit that seeing hobbies in terms of benefits and self improvement kind of also has its downside. I think it is also good to be able to have fun for the sake of having fun. For me the lines between work and play are often blurry, for better or worse. I am honestly not sure.

This just sounds so alien to me, does anybody really care that much?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it worked. I also wouldn't be surprised if it led to better outcomes if that's how we chose political representatives. The way we do it now just seems to select for the most corrupt, greedy and manipulative, who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what they can get away with personally and professionally.
> The fact that the US could carry out such an operation on the other side of the planet, and Russia can’t even do it on its own border, really casts doubt on this idea of Russia as the world’s second military power.

1. Highly motivated software engineer with over 4 years of experience in programming. Always ready for hard work and tackling challenges.

2. Creativity, a strong desire for growth, and consistent productivity.

3. Passionate about working in a team, I am dedicated to contributing my best efforts to any company I work for.

5. I feel there's more I can achieve in this world and am always looking for opportunities to make a bigger impact.
IMO it's less about the size of the company and moreso the nature of the integration. Users are more forgiving of 95% accuracy when it's used to enhance/complement an existing (manual?) workflow than when it's used to wholesale replace it. The comparison would be building an AI tool to make data entry easier/faster for a human employee (making them say, 2x as productive even at 95%) versus an AI tool that bills itself as a full replacement for hiring a data entry function at all (requiring human or superhuman accuracy, edge case handling, maddening LLM debugging, etc).

In the long run the latter is of course more valuable and has a larger market, so it's understandable large corps would try to "shoot for the moon" and unlock that value, but for now the former is far far more practical. It's just a more natural way for the tech to get integrated and come to market, in most large corp settings per-head productivity is already a measurable and well understood metric. "Hands off" LLM workflows are totally new and are a much less certain value proposition, there will be some hesitation at adoption until solutions are proven and mature.
