I disagree, bodies is not limitting factor for PRC, it also becomes cheaper to wait for TW specifically because TW male 18-40 is set to decline = less kill bots / occupation force needed. Attacker:defender ratio (i.e. commonly 3:1) = every defender TW loses due to demographics, PRC with same TFR will come out significantly ahead, will need less enforcement:civilian ratio for occupation.

But ultimately, it's about hardware+industry - current trend = regional force balance shifting in PRC favour vs US+co every year with no end in sight. PRC better off accumulating capabilities at scale, not just regional, but global (i.e. prompt global strike) and increase autarky (less net population + more electrifcation = more calorie + energy security). All trend incentivizes waiting and building.

TLDR waiting and building becomes less costly (or rather less risky) to pursue PRC's ultimate strategic goals associated with TW scenario... displacing US posture out of east Asia and perhaps hitting CONUS infra at scale as response to US intervention. The latter part is key, there are important stretch goals to TW scenario that secures PRC geopolitical interests for 50-100+ years. It's much more important to be able to tackle those "costly" scenarios "cheaper", where cheaper is also relative to making intervention much more expensive for adversaries, i.e. PRC "winning" hand in TW scenario is to show US posture in east asia not sustainable, and CONUS (including TSMC Arizona) not defendable.
One that comes to mind is an on-site caretaker position (e.g. on a remote property), where the employee is effectively being paid to be available, not to do a certain number of hours of work.

I agree, lots of things I have just never gotten around to because I had do chose something, choice can sometimes be a bad thing.
When I stop past the while line, it's almost always because I thought the way was clear, but then something happened, and I had to stop, and then the light changed, and I was stuck past the white line.

Well, it wasn't if they'd (the company) create the posting. It was whether or not GP would say yes, or say no and get fired so someone else can do it. Can't blame the messanger too much.

>they've already decided on getting cheaper immigrant workers, and then go through the fraudulent process to get them.

If it's truly banking talent, it lilely still isn't cheap. It's just talent that can't easily job hop in 1-2 years to a competing bank. It's a soft form of the anti-poaching agreements certain companies had over a decade ago.

Easiest way to mess that up for companies is to simply make a Visa applicable as long as that worker stays in the US sector of that industry. So the company does the work but gets no handcuffs. The idea of H1B's is to attract top talent, not hold them hostage at a single company.

Spreading "cope" hurts other people who read it and believe. Bomb-calorimeter energy is an upper bound on what your body can extract from the food, and limiting an upper bound works.

But ok, there is a problem with "CICO": Although true, it does psychologically put "CI" and "CO" on an equal footing -- whereas 90% of your attention really needs to be on "CI". The body is very efficient; exercising doesn't burn much. It's more for the purpose of maintaining some muscle mass as you drop weight. But junk food companies like to skew perception ("balance what you drink and do") to make it seem like a Big Gulp would be ok if only you ran more. Yeah, they're happy to shame and mislead overweight people, so long as they keep buying.
It seems like you looked back long enough to open this thread and make this comment :^)
Exactly. It's fundamentally misogynistic for these men to appropriate a "woman" identity, and Mulvaney is a very typical example of this.

Think about it. If you remove the female body from the definition of woman, what else remains besides sexist stereotypes?
> Can't fault them too badly

The same company that touts their super hyper advanced AI tool that can do everyone's (except the C-level's, apparently) jobs to the world can't figure out how to make a functional cron job happen? And we're giving them a pass, despite the bajillions of dollars that M$ and VC is funneling their way?

Quite interesting they wouldn't just throw the "proven to be AGI cause it passes some IQ tests sometimes" tooling at it and be done with it.
Glad to see that the thriving 2010 market of TODO list apps will see a resurgence in the AI era.
How accurate can you get with Hall-effect sensors? Back in the day when I was in the field (30-40 years ago), we used to get 20 bits of resolution out of a course+fine rotary inductosyn pair.
Baldur's Gate 3 (and other games of its nature) are narrative experiences crafted by writers to convey a story. I don't play BG3 when I want to play D&D, and when I do want to play something like BG3 I certainly wouldn't be interested in a machine generated amalgamation of other people's ideas with no thought or emotion behind it - that would be fundamentally pointless and a waste of my time - like reading Lorem Ipsum instead of a novel.

> I've turned to flakes to specifically solve some problems, and flaked solved them. To this day, flakes are still the only way to solve them.

Can you share some examples of such problems?
I feel like pytomls and shared source are becoming standard, but yes-

notebooks vs research code are sometimes very separate, very difficult to directly reproduce. A big difficultly with "working out of the box, shared in browser" is that weights, training, inference, simulations- are all still very compute intensive.

BUT the nice thing about a stateless notebook, is that you can precompute values- and cache them. I've been really excited about expanding marimo's caching system, and would love to get to a point whether sharing a notebook means being able to run the research yourself without some big setup dance.
> Like what happens with publicly-owned TV

Which is bad ... why exactly? Public TV largely works.

Meanwhile, existing privately owned social media & news in the US falling into the hands of single billionaires is showing itself to have been a terrible idea. They're all kowtowing to the incoming president, and it's increasingly looking like we'll be seeing the death of the first amendment on the internet.

Sure. Committees suck sometimes. ActivityPub as a standard has been design-by-committee'd to uselessness.

But it's so much better than the likes of Musk, Zuckerberg, or Bezos having unilateral control over the entire platforms and (soon) gleefully clamping down on free speech because Der Führer decreed that LGBT content must be censored. (And yes, I am being facetious. But if you think that this attack on free speech won't be expanded and expanded, you're a fool.)
Because I'm guessing the term "hard-R" only makes sense in some sociolinguistic US accents. As an outsider I can't really have an opinion. As an NZer I can say that unfortunately we sometimes get judged according to US language rules in some contexts - so the rules affect us so it sometimes helps me to know US practice.

My comment explains what hard-R means from the point of view of someone outside the states, and gives enough context for a non-native English speaker to understand the term. The subtleties of English are hard even for those with English as a mother tongue.

From the Wikipedia article:

Among certain speakers, like some in the northeastern coastal and southern United States,[6][2] rhoticity is a sociolinguistic variable: postvocalic /r/ is deleted depending on an array of social factors,[7] such as being more correlated in the 21st century with lower socioeconomic status, greater age, particular ethnic identities, and informal speaking contexts.

When kids were young (< 13), kept them off it for as long as possible. In fact, it was forbidden. Friends/colleagues thought I was a tyrant (and some thought I was an idiot) for trying to shield my kids this way, but those were the rules. Eventually, I had to capitulate. But even now, I regularly check in with the now much older kids to discourage worthless hours of doom-scrolling.
This is going to eat software, and is the beginning of agents. The orchestrator of these tasks will come, and OpenAI will turn into a general purpose compute system, the endgame of workflow software. Soon there will be a database, and your prompts will be able to directly read and write to an openai hosted postgres instance. And your CRUD app will begin to disappear. Programming will feel pointless
Perhaps small enough to include in ffmpeg itself so you can just write commands `ffmpeg do this thing I want`.

Now I say this, it seems like there should already be a shell that is also an LLM where you can mix bits of commands you vaguely remember and natural language a bit like Del Boy speaking French...
I love "X by Example" sites! But if you don't work with a tool like ffmpeg imagemagick day in and out, there's no way you'll remember their unintuitive syntax or will want to spend the time to get your one-time job done. I'd still probably not use this site to scan a dozen of examples and try to put together the pieces of the puzzle; instead, I'd probably just use an LLM who already scanned the entire web corpus and can probably get me to a solution faster, right? At that point, I wonder what folks get out of this site?

I understand this is only a nitpick, but I'd point out that if you've spent any time in "deep china" you'll realize that there isn't connection to much of anything beyond the firewall. Even if you're in a western hotel, you will be hard pressed to connect to anything other than your in-country company VPN. Having a foreign phone helps a bit too with mobile data. The great firewall treats cloudflare, GCP, AWS and many other ip ranges as damage to be "routed around". Azure is a bit better, presumably because many computers still have to do windows update regularly.

We can maybe borrow from some past generational issues, but it seems old forms of media and societal problems are growing worse (e.g bullying, self-esteem, harmful cliques, peer-pressure, etc), or are certain areas getting better (e.g. respecting different cultures and differences, etc.)

I have to respect all the parents at this time learning to deal with such changes and no past to learn from with the technological changes. Was there ever a time destructive to "reading books too much" (e.g. bookworm)?

Would love to hear thoughts (ideas?) for what ought to be done for a new generation of children being born. What can we learn from the past here and what are some ideas of the correct approaches? Not 100% convinced about banning devices until some later time since technology is being integrated also in classrooms, so I wonder if that hinders growth.

The market can remain depressed for longer than you can remain solvent.

We should be encouraging people to look at alternative careers to tech. Life after tech.

We should also be making it clear to students that while there are exciting things happening in tech this is not going to translate into large scale demand for people.

Large parts of technology are mature, indeed moribund. This is not a message that the technology industry wants to hear.
IRS = very crooked. Take gambling and lotteries. We know house = wins. Yet the IRS grabs huge % of lottery winnings, yet does not allow gamblers to deduct their ticket costs = a huge unearned windfall for the IRS. Here in Canada the CRA (functions like IRS) is fair, lotteries are not taxed and thus no deductions for tickets.

Chip design/semiconductors/etc. have been a dead end in the US for 30+ years, but EE is a broad field and other specialties like RF/power systems/anything defense related are still in high demand. An EE with a PE will have an infinitely easier time getting a job working at a utility or engineering firm than any software developer these days to be honest.
I sincerely hope this gets enacted. It would be great for states like California to stop subsidizing states like Louisiana.
It works for Somalia, I'm sure we can all strive to get to that level one day.
If my company has decided to replace me with someone cheaper, and they can't get an H1B, then they'll go for someone overseas, right? At least for tech jobs, it seems likely. With the H1Bs, income taxes are paid in the US, and the consumer base grows too. I'd hate to lose my job but why shouldn't I still prefer removing the H1B cap?
They probably do occur in the author's conversations, they're just not salient in conversation since who goes listening for sentence breaks in speech, sentences aren't real.

That's true. I was thinking more about the large infrastructure focused companies, but you're right, ye olde average fortune 500 company likely has nothing but Windows PCs.
This is how we handle it as well. We were at friends' last night and the older kids had the N64 out. The older kids reported that ours just wanted to be read to the whole time, but early doses of things we intend to introduce anyway (video games predating modern addictive mechanics) are fine at that frequency.

We are mindful of potential Pandora's boxes though. You can't ban everything unhealthy without causing long term issues. You strive though to only introduce things when they're developmentally ready to cope with it, even if that means restrictions on yourself as an adult.

You work to constantly provide good examples via your own life, compelling narratives, etc. of people who exemplify the virtues you want to instill. That's how you help shape (the best you can) the life of someone with an innate identity to, when necessary, "just say no", or simply be uninterested in and unswayed by things that don't conform to their value system.

They aren't stifled by rules and wrestling with temptation--not valuing YT Kids is just who they are.
I think there is some, but it’s pretty limited. E.g., “He was an old man [who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream] and …”
Does it make sense to always refer to these systems by car manufacturers? Lots of these "camera" units are self contained computers that directly generates steering and braking commands, and are constantly switched between lowest bidders.

It's a bit like yogurt that comes with an economy class meal. Evaluations made for the cup on one flight might not apply to a flight on different days, or its return flight. Shouldn't it be the brand on the cup, not the one on headrest, that gets named in reports?
Exactly - and it sounds harsh at first but consider that a family of four put up in a hotel for a month is going to cost a figure close to that and the insurance company is paying for it.

Plus the timescales involved go beyond “emergency” to actually effecting the market. LA is down 5000+ properties for the next 3+ years - a genuine reduction in supply that will drive prices upwards.

Price caps don’t limit demand and instead cause supply shortages, which we should expect to see in LA.

Yeah, they're not exactly a scrappy startup- I'd be surprised if they had 0 QA.

The answer is obvious. Vector DBs have clear line of sight. Experimental embeddings do not.
I was thinking the same, I live in one of those states too.

But I expect if not done with great care, we will be in for a real bad economic ride.

Edit: The more I think about this, this could morph into a Federal Sales Tax, keeping or reducing the Income tax (for the rich of course) as it makes its way through.
> Why is clock skew being used here at all?
You're right, it's not actually necessary to use the client clock at all. It was easier to implement it that way initially and I kept it in the description and didn't think about it again.. Thanks for pointing that out.
Since all timestamps are measured, the calculations can actually also be made afterwards without using the client clock timestamps at all. However this may add a bit more noise.
> not the actual nonce
The nonce can only be used once so it's ok to share it afterwards.

Sometimes there are costs associated with operating within a particular country that a company might want to pass on to those particular customers. For example business insurance in the US can be pretty high in some sectors, or cost of compliance with some piece of legislation unique to that country.

It seems fairly reasonable to me to pass those costs on, though of course it can be hard to tell whether that is happening or whether you're just getting gouged.
The why is not trivial to explain, but it's related to the petrodollar system. It's good for the USA if we create markets with countries that are developing by moving manufacturing there, because it helps them acquire the dollars that they need to buy energy on the international market. This helps the USA maintain global hegemony.

Again, my comment here is super simplified.

At some big companies at least, I think it is a policy to have to post the job publicly even if the person who was waiting in line inside the department for a few years already has it.

I have had two jobs in the past posting inside the department that 2 or 3 people had to waste their time interviewing for with zero chance just as a matter of policy. The manager had to interview x number of people in the name of fairness or something like that.
Sure, where do you work? I’ll be happy to add it to my list!
Agreed on date/time being a frustrating area of software development.

But wouldn't a company like OpenAI use a tick-based system in this architecture? i.e. there's an event emitter that ticks every second (or maybe minute), and consumers that operate based on these events in realtime? Obviously things get complicated due to the time consumed by inference models, but if OpenAI knows the task upfront it could make an allowance for the inference time?

If the logic is event driven and deterministic, it's easy to test and debug, right?
It shouldn't really need to be mentioned at this point, but sales taxes are extremely regressive. The burden is shouldered by people with lower incomes.

This kind of device is called a "compressor", and they are ubiquitous in recording studios. They can get very expensive and complicated, but for your purpose something like this may suffice:

Specifically what you want is a "stereo compressor" or "compressor/limiter"; if you want something more sophisticated than the device above, there are many 1U rack options available for ~$200 (dbx is a good choice), or used on reverb.com more like $70-$100.

Ask HN: How to Burn $4,744 of Azure Credits in 2 Weeks
As part of Microsoft for Startups, I have a ton of Azure credits, if I can unlock the next tier by burning through at least half of my credits, then they extend my Microsoft for Startups benefits for another year which is great for hosting, email, etc.

How do I burn it in the next two weeks to get allotted more credits?

For context, I made a small business expense tracker that helps with taxes / inventory that is using Azure's receipt API to itemize them and then off of Azure (not using their credits, unfortunately) using ChatGPT to assign them a category.

Can find it at app.starferret.com
It can be done, but my take is that until your kid is through puberty their job is to learn how to navigate the real world, how to talk to people in person, and so on. You can give them technology but it has very minimal benefit compared to the alternative, that is if your home is full of books and you're reading to them regularly.

All that being said we're somewhat liberal with TV, and we'll introduce them to a PC in time. But for now the MO is real world skills and intelligence.

Jonathan Haidt also pointed to evidence that technology during the adolescence phase can wreak havoc. Particularly handhelds and social media.
