The empire and communism are two different things. Putin seems keen on restoring the Russian empire but not on communism.
1) Raise the minimum salary to 200k+. Anything else is indentured servitude/downwards wage pressure.

2) Remove the family extension. 80k/year shouldn't end up being 500k/year.
Ask any Japanese mechanical pencil manufacturer: it is possible commoditize excellence via mastery through refinement and then uniformity by making zillions the same way.
Im at the stage where Im having dreams regularly about mmo architecture design and this is a good intro article to the topic.
My big challenge is in the data size and speeds required for such a high tick rate with physics objects instead of just binary presses such as in most mmos. (in godot 4.4)

/goes back to thinking about the fastest in-mem DBs and how they might work in such a stack
This sounds so absolutely absurd that it would probably work.

How is SMS easier? I can't easily access it on the desktop or the browser.

As someone in the Apple ecosystem, I find SMS much easier when using it from Apple's desktop Messages program.

It's not ideal that not everyone has that opportunity, but don't make the mistake of thinking that your experience is the only experience.

It's also a bit strange, because back when I was making the transition from Wintel to Macintosh – this was before the iPhone – there were many programs that would link your desktop with your phone via Bluetooth so you could send and receive SMS messages. Do they no longer exist?
Can I disconnect and reconnect from a running frontend (close and reopen a tab) and not lose any output?
Hi! I'm one of the miniKanren peeps. Happy to talk miniKanren and relational programming!
I've witnessed many people behave towards machines in a way that would be considered very rude were it towards biological beings. Makes one wonder if "Rage Against The Machine" were visionaries...
The fallacy many people fall for is that low quality impression and cheaper and good value do not necessarily all correlate positively. Instead, can we not strive for excellence in all things as a matter of pride?
It's been very clear to me for many years that the FSF is staffed by a bunch of out-of-touch boomers who believe that Microsoft is the end-all be-all of evil tech. That was probably true 30 years ago, but from their rhetoric, they've ignored how the computing landscape has changed. Namely, the ways smartphones are walled gardens that screw over people, often in the same ways Microsoft has. I've heard them mention in passing that Apple, Google, and Facebook are bad, but the volume of material directed at Microsoft overwhelms anything else. To the FSF, if it doesn't happen on a PC, its not a priority. It still amazes me that they're hurt over Linux stealing their GNU name/tools/momentum, but hardly a word is written about how Google stole Linux to make Android, and how the Android ecosystem is a complete betrayal of free software's values.
Hello and thank you for making this!

Can I sway you to take this into a ... certain direction?

From my POV any browser based editor will be inferior to emacs (and to lesser extent vim) simply because it won't run my elisp code. While a fresh and snappier UI compared to eg jupyter would be nice, I would love to see something that integrates well with emacs out of the box.

So, perhaps it would be really nice if the backend+API was really polished as an end product itself in such a way that it could easily interface with other frontends, with remote attachment.

I could go on with my list of demands but I would be thrilled and amazed at my luck if even those two happen...
I use mostly the script workflow, but for exploration Marimo is more convenient. It got also to-disk memoization recently. Kinda best of both worlds for exploration (although I'm not a huge fan of editing code in browser). In comparison to the JupyterLab hidden state spaghetti it's a fix.

With proper structuring of the blocks, Marimo will not re-execute the cell. Also memoization in script based workflows is still somewhat clunky on Python even with something like Snakemake.

I do find Marimo's approach, "global" variables tracked between blocks, less than ideal, but it's the best out there.
Honest question... is the Twitter screenshot[1] of Amazon jobs in Arlington VA enough to conclude that their H1B is specifically about low-wage warehouse jobs?

Because Arlington VA also has these software engineering jobs:

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?base_query=software+engine...

Lots of white-collar professional jobs in HQ2 Arlinton VA:

https://www.amazon.jobs/content/en/locations/hq2

Also, a H1B status that's exempt from the annual cap is still required to have minimum salary of $60k a year (~$30/hour): https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/62q-h1b-exempt-...

The prevailing wage for warehouse labor is ~$18/hour: https://www.google.com/search?q=amazon+warehouse+worker+wage...

[1] >@drsuffy: Anyways Amazon just had 9,200 Warehouse jobs be approved for H1B for 2024. Yes. Because "retail trade"(warehouse labor) is the best of the best and definitely can't be filled by your average American : https://x.com/drsuffy/status/1872679207991669109
Many of the replies are saying something similar, so I apologize, as I am not trying to call you out, but to better understand; ask yourself why you need to know about the grandkid of someone you went to school with 30 years ago.

So many of these things that we use to sell ourselves to hang on to social media tend to crumble under any honest scrutiny. This upsets people. I get it. I mentioned in another comment having dealt with a substance abuse problem in the past, and the same pattern emerged. I had a problem, but refused to recognize it, so I rationalized continuing down the same path by performing some mental gymnastics about why I needed to keep doing this thing. It was pretty eye-opening when I went through the exact same process during my time leaving Facebook a few years into my sobriety.

We are social creatures and social connection is undoubtedly important to our mental health. But like all things, it tends to be better in moderation. In the case of FB, is hearing about a grandkid from a distant acquaintance a meaningful relationship? Conversely, do the likes we might get from distant acquaintances on our post add value or fulfillment to our lives in any meaningful way?

I posit that when we engage with these unfulfilling interactions, we spread ourselves much too thin, causing stress and anxiety by drawing our energies away from relationships that are closer to home, in some cases maybe driving distance between them. Sure, I can only speak from my own experience, but I've yet to see anyone's life change for the worse when walking away from social media. Hence my concern about why people seem so desperate to stay, and make no mistake, from this perspective and the replies I generally see when this gets brought up, it's the same excuse-driven desperation I see in fellow alcoholics that resist recovery.
That was back then when every tech company tried to be Twitch.

"#1 AI UGC video generator" but there's no way to demo this before paying a monthly subscription which is not refundable. How could someone blindly trust a random website when there's thousands of alternatives?
Yea... It's not 10 years ago, Meta is desperately trying to remain relevant but no one except "middle aged normies" uses it and those people are either slowly dying out or just using multiple platforms. The point is FB growth is all fake, their ad market is fake, now the userbase will be also fake.

After "the metaverse" completely crashed and burned, the only option Zuck has is to go 100% AI, maximum speed, never look back.
A recent colleague often gave my team feedback like that. But we listened to him and all our presentations were much better afterwards. I hope I've internalized that idea somewhat.
They have a good excuse for it. They designed everything to look readable/usable on average home TV. Add the loss of quality in RF modulator and you figure the crazy colour scheme with ultra simple icons.

If something like this does happen I imagine it would target a small segment of the population, as this would be very expensive.
I can't speak for the internals, but I've found it to be dead simple to spin up locally and use, with decent results on the docs I've tested it with.

That said, I think a lot of AI chat services have recognized that document search is table stakes and are building this functionality into their tools, so I don't know whether Kotaemon as a standalone tool will be needed for much longer.

For example, my company was originally going to push out Kotaemon for private document search, but we have now put that on pause because we're exploring whether we can get the same results through our primary AI chat service, without having to point users to a separate tool.
I swear someone demoed this on HN in the last year?

it does seem workable. I've at least heard of companies investigating heaven banning where problem users are put in a bots only space to keep them happy or something..
This is sort of TikTok, right?

Wasn't TikTok known for becoming viral by having tons and tons and tons of fake upvotes for everything to make everyone think TikTok was a better place to post content [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]?

Facebook and Instagram had the same "problems", they just addressed it much earlier than TikTok.

I would imagine they have already tested fake likes to maximize how believable the like ratio can be, but who knows - maybe there's opportunity left to be more fake?

Its not just the benefit to the US - every smart person we can convince to come here is one less in our competitor countries.
The H1B system sucks for everyone but the employer, which is kind of the point.

I have watched brilliant young devs have to jump through the OPT hoops in hopes of finally getting an H1B to live out their startup dream. I have also met H1Bs who have the mental acuity of a mildewy scone.

There needs to be a difficult, but fair and clear path to citizenship.
FTA: “In my opinion, the ASUS motherboard is worth a look. At the moment it is the latest and most powerful hardware on the recommended list, inexpensive and widely available on auction sites”

So it seems the best hardware to run this in is from 2012 (https://www.expertreviews.com/uk/motherboards/51537/asus-p8z...) and can’t be bought in shops.

Given that that motherboard doesn’t have Amiga hardware, what’s holding them back to support newer hardware?

Making your own GPU sounds intriguing. You could hook up a small ARM computer to the PCI slot and implement a GPU in software. A very slow GPU obviously, but fast enough to decrypt the video frames. I'm not sure if you'll be able to write a driver for it that will seem legit to Windows.
So we just shouldn't then? Please help me understand your point
One of the fundamental rules of our modern world is that if your business model is indistinguishable from the plot to an episode of Black Mirror, then you're about to be a millionaire.
If that's the case would you not expect there to me more European H-1Bs, the reasoning being that if these VISAs are not merit based but gaming the system, then why aren't Europeans taking advantage of this opportunity to get a 2x/3x salary bump, and loads more growth opportunities? What am I missing?
I think China is proof that it could have survived if it had followed similar policies and allowed private enterprise to run in parallel to the communist system.
SMS and email take too much effort

If writing an e-mail to a friend is too much effort for you, then you're not a friend. You're an acquaintance, at best.

Low effort means low quality. If all you have to offer is low effort content, what makes you think anyone wants to read it?

Be less lazy.
And then there's Meta and Apple's diversions into VR. All of these top-down hype driven product decisions which nobody actually wants are laughable.
"Live, work, spend, pay taxes" is valuable from the perspective of the government, but what's the point of keeping them local from the point of view of the company hiring the body shop? You can't use them to work on government stuff, which tends to require citizenship, so if it's just regular business, you could offshore them, and not pay the "rent in New Jersey" tax.
> the total Android install base - 3 billion.

That's so wild to me as an early millennial. For a good chunk of my life the smart phone didn't even exist and going back further computers were only for nerds. Now 3 billion freaking people using a computer every single day in a form factor that at one point I thought would be always marginal (vs desktops and laptops).
Fascinating. I never knew how self-extracting zips worked either...

They never made it clear that they always replaced others affiliate links, like the creators affiliates that also promoted honey, and also did it even when they didn't find any codes. And did this at checkout.
As both a reader and a writer I disagree:

* A blog post is a snapshot: what did the author think at the time they wrote the post? If they change their mind or learn more, they write a new post and link forward and backwards. I know how to write for this environment (write what I think now, try to write things I'll feel glad to have written later) and how to work with things other people have written (consider the date, it's just one person's view).

* A wiki page is unclear. When should it be updated? How much should I trust that it was up-to-date as of the last-updated date vs that just being when someone fixed a typo? A few wikis and sites with wiki-like approaches (Wikipedia, gwern.net) manage to handle this well, but I think it's generally much more difficult and rot-prone.
Then next step is to not show anything human created to other humans - because human created content needs moderation, people swear at each other.

Imagine how pleasant and disinfected content will be there, every company will be happy to pay for ads because there will be no offensive comments and no images of your aunt. All the content perfectly aligned with what people want to see and there somewhere in between ads.

Kids in 10 years or 15 won’t even know that in past people actually could post something on the internet- they will think it was all like TV for us that only rich and handsome people get to post on the internet.

Who wouldn’t buy all those things that happen to be presented by perfect people in perfect world that you don’t have real access to but you can read on internet or have a part of that world by buying some crap they advertise.

It already happens but FB/Meta doesn’t have control over influencers - they can create their own now and deplatform all real ones because they won’t need them. Companies love that as it won’t turn out some influencer that they bought ads with died overdosing drugs somewhere on the street.
I asked Framework that repeatedly, but no progress. I think they might be violating EU Regulation 2018/302, which is rather common, mostly due to ignorance. The problem is that it is rather hard to enforce such regulation to non-EU/EEA companies. You can still send your wishes to support@frame.work.
Because Europeans don’t want to work 60-80hrs/week. Many don’t want to leave home. And the ones which do, are a minority. Thus you see low percentages of h1b go to europeans

Although marketed as such, RWKV isn't really an RNN.

In the recent RWKV7 incarnation, you could argue it's a type of Linear RNN, but past versions had an issue of taking its previous state from a lower layer, allowing for parallelism, but makes it closer to a convolution than a recurrent computation.

As for 1), I'd like to believe so, but it's hard to get people away from the addictive drug that is the easily parallelised transformer, 2) (actual) RNNs and attention mechanisms to me seem fairly powerful (expressivity wise) and perhaps most acceptable by the community.
It's easy to imagine better - you would get the contruction worker phone features - extreme durability, quick swappable batteries, standard charging dock - with the high-end camera and other specs of the iphone. You could even imagine hot-swappable batteries, perhaps.

At 60, I applied to Canonical and got hired. The hiring process is thorough but very fair, all WFH, and they generally don't care about personal attributes. Gave me 20% above my asking price and a higher starting rank than expected.
I posted this basic idea here a while back, based on a reddit post. Wow, I can't believe it's already been two years.

I personally find this to be the scariest form of psychological conditioning that I can imagine. It is just pure mind control, with no "social" window dressing.

There's nothing grammatically incorrect or ambiguous about the sentence. What's causing your confusion?
oh, ok, those seem to be rare though, and personally i find them impractical because the C connector makes them less stable. with an A connector the flash drive can be so small that it almost fits inside the connector entirely. in other words, buying a device that can't handle these flash drives would be a tradeoff that doesn't have much of a downside unless i already have such a drive that i really want to use.

but if i have a tendency to buy older devices, then i likely also have a tendency to avoid getting such modern drives. they will be coming though, thanks to USB4, and there will be a day where i can't avoid needing a laptop with at least two USB-C ports (because one of them will be used for charging), or get a USB4 rated USB-C only hub. and hopefully by then even older laptops will already have at least one USB-C port too (even if it doesn't support USB4 yet).
Sure, but there’s a gap between “this would be bad” and “we need to change the law to stop it happening”, so what you think of as a concession isn’t necessarily conceding anything at all.
Sigh. This is going to be a thing, isn't it?

On second thought, social media monetizes negativity and this does the opposite. Fight fire with fire?
Already exists, social AI. Meta hired the owner to implement this feature. Doesn't hurt to create a competitor if you're interested though!
No, but the translation process would transfer from academia to the military industrial complex.

>I didn’t know it would encrypt again.

"encrypt it again" in this case means establishing a new TLS connection to the original host and forwarding the decrypted contents in this new connection. This is obviously required if the original host only had a https endpoint, and (more importantly) so the traffic isn't exposed on the wider internet.
…or maybe the H-1B is just a visa to allow non-Americans to work in the US?
Static blogs and dynamic blogs are also leagues apart given how much less is susceptible to rot.

GitHub.io blogs feel like something that came and went, but maybe the SEO wasn't there enough for people to stick with it.

The resurgence of newsletters is also another revitalization of blogs with better syndication (e-mail over RSS).

Probably not a great time to operate a WordPress blog though.
The problem being that if you truly enjoy something, you will end up becoming better at noticing quality.

Learning to understand music so that you can show off in society is (IMHO) stupid because you ruin your ability to enjoy "average" music. But if you really enjoy music, you're doomed to improve your understanding of it and start becoming more critical regarding "poor" music, however popular it is.
Good to know. Wi-Fi can think!

Whenever the H-1B visas come up, I always remember this old video(1) and Disney hiring foreign IT workers to replace its American workers and asking the American workers to train them(2). Companies will always abuse the system and find loopholes, just like rich people often find ways to avoid taxes.

I'm literally responding to someone claiming it's easier across the board. I'm not the one making that mistake.

That sounds really complicated compared to just opening a web page. Besides, my computer doesn't even have a Bluetooth connection.
I am unsure how seriously to take the referenced tweets, which make extraordinary claims but cite no evidence.
The comments in this thread are completely disconnected from the contents of the paper, and the thread title is rage bait and doesn't reflect the contents of the paper, either. Being able to solve a significant fraction of those problems is a pretty amazing achievement, even if it's sometimes tricked by minor variations. People are throwing around words like "fraud" or "hoax", and it's just wishcasting or whistling past the graveyard.
