A consultant gets £100k -> £140K ish from the NHS. However, many supplement that with private work and therefore make significantly more.

:) So it can be done with state subsidies, but worldwide even the one time bonuses for EVs are being canceled. States aren't likely to give up on even more revenue.
Thank you for sharing. I also think that this type of website takes a lot of time to create customized features. It might be similar to the infographics I've been learning about recently. There aren't really any good frameworks or tools that make development easier.

I, honestly, have no idea why you thought that. Bambulab has been under fire from the very beginning about not being open at all and not contributing back to the open source community they're build on.

I bought one of their printers during black friday too, it took me a long time to get over the fact that it isn't an open printer, and I never want to go back to tinkering for hours to get meh quality prints.
My impression is Paul, and many like him, have lived in a world of abstractions for so long their brain believes it’s real. And since they wield influence on a lot of people, their brains spouting such nonsense can _make_ it «real» in the markets. Markets which are themselves an abstraction entirely separated from the reality they are meant to represent.

But at some point reality catches up with everyone, but it will be at the cost of people hidden by the abstractions before it hits people like PG.
I'm not sure if there's a monorepo vs polyrepo difference; just that anything complex is pretty painful in gitlab. YAML "programming" just doesn't scale.
Calling it a political favor is quite silly. He stated he was likely overturn it for months now, but the public indirect phrasing was probably not sufficient for the involved actors to feel was sufficient to act on, a private statement of definitive intent would be.
This. I'd go more relaxed on the one-liner requirement, a few lines are fine, but the approach is correct IMHO.
Talk about hours lost! I spent so much time playing these games as a kid (H2G2, King's Quest, Zork I, II, and III, ...). Considering today's graphics quality, it's incredible how my (very fallible) memory of these games lives up to reality.
When people want to avoid work, it is not glueing them on an office chair that will change the attitude.
You are equating the soviet union with Russia. Their economic model was quite different and caused mass famines and eventual collapse.

As for going away, the demographic picture for both countries is horrific. China is in a recession and the one thing they need to do is the one thing Xi is diametrically opposed to and he calls all the shots.
This just isn't accurate, on the overwhelming majority of real-world tasks (>90%) 3.5 Sonnet beats 4o. FWIW I've spoken with a friend who's at OpenAI and they fully agree in private.
The USSR also gained de facto control over relatively developed places like the Baltics, Czechoslovakia and East Germany, and exploited them.

Czechoslovak industry in the early 1950s was producing a shitton of products sold under their real price to the Soviets, or bargained for cheap agricultural products.

That assumes an inefficient burn that doesn’t actually heat a house either (a traditional inefficient fireplace heats a room but draws in cold outdoor air into the house). A proper wood stove, etc both heats the house and produces dramatically less pollutants.
If you stop treating psychopaths like empaths they are very easy to get along with and very useful. Empaths will respect you if you are loving, caring, generous etc. For psychopaths those are weaknesses to be exploited. They will respect you if they are afraid of you and if you help them in a humiliating way. They will go out of their way to return the favor.

As society keeps forcing them into pretend empathy they know every detail about it. They can exploit it and imitate it but they cant hide how precious their ego is to them. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Corporate creatures are similar, they simply don't share our emotions. That doesn't mean they don't understand or wont cater to them.

He's right about the fact that it's a company, owned by an individual. It's an impactfull company even if personaly as a non-user I've never seen any interest in it.

Spot on. I’ve met several foreign exchange students during my time at university. A simple observation from one of them really stuck with me: “You Americans really like to help strangers.”

The “happy go lucky” observation squares with what I have been told by my Eastern European friend. Any stranger, or mere acquaintance, who is friendly and offering help is likely trying to obligate you into repaying the favor later on. People who for fall for this are naïve or simpletons. There’s definitely a level of trust that needs to be earned before you experience the same kind of positivity and goodwill that Americans seem to dole out to “randos” they just met.

Right after that “like to help” comment he followed it up with: “It is like you are all Golden Retrievers”. Which I found both hilarious and fitting.

I'm not defending corps. I'm not defending the people that make them up. I'm not attacking them either per se. I'm just saying that maybe viewing them in a different perspective, from a different level of abstraction, may unlock a new solution space.

When dealing with people, we tend to view them as as distinct entities from their individual cells and neurons when we argue about their behavior. We don't talk about this or that individual neuron causing a human to take an action, if anything, we may discuss a group of neurons, but often, we argue about the entire "brain chemistry", even if it's strictly true that some group of distinct neurons are "responsible" for the action the human takes, then so is the bones in their hands, the fibres in their muscles, because they didn't refuse (to refuse, is to no longer be part of that body). Maybe it's the moral thing to do, for a cell to refuse to be part of the immoral human, but it does not absolve the human from responsibility, and it does not put all the responsibility on the indvidual cells that make it up, humans are complex organism, corps are made out of humans, they are even more complex. Treating them as a collection of humans is what we have done so far, and while we've gained some satisfaction seeing a (too few) very disgusting people getting what they deserved, it's not changed the overall behaviour of the companies, because, killing or changing one neuron won't change a brain, replace neuron with human and brain with corp.

On a higher level of abstraction, the corp as a form of life, maybe a cancer, maybe a rat, or something that could potentially be a positive thing, we may start a new way of reasoning about and with them.

After all, I can talk to you, I know how to do that, but I can't talk to your neurons directly, I don't understand their modes of communication, it's on a different level from me.. This is why psychiatry is behind, we don't know how brains work well enough, we can give medications to take the worst out of them, like treatments for adhd, or schizophrenia, but they don't work on the brain in a coherent way, they work on the individual neurons in a very crude way, and so, the effects are nowhere near perfect, and the side effects can be almost as bad, or in some cases worse than the decease.
"Their model" here is referring to 4o as o1 is unviable for many production usecases due to latency.
What makes you think anything has changed here? Certainly in the UK, there are plenty of "loopholes". Outside of PAYE, there are plenty of ways to legally lower your tax burden, and plenty of wealthy business owners and shareholders make full use of those loopholes.

They impeached Trump. Twice. Didn't do anything.
Honestly, techies like us will always have an edge on how we produce and consume digital information. Folks who do home maintenance like jobs can often do repairs and customizations on their on homes or rental properties much cheaper than the average person. Plenty of other jobs give comparative advantages. These comparative advantages are IMO a fun output of human diversity.
GitHub often actively doesn't act in situations where acting would be prudent, which portrays from an outside perspective a disinterest in those who give their time to document shortcomings. Would you care to guess when the last time that the GitHub API was updated? It's probably much longer than you'd think (2+ years at this point).
> Do people actually think OpenAI is gaming benchmarks?

Yes, they 100% do. So do their main competitors. All of them do.
"the Soviets produced more tanks than all other allies combined"

For such feats, factory equipment mattered. So did trucks. Studebakers were relatively cheap and probably wouldn't move the needle on your GDP-based meter, but they were very important to Soviet logistics.
I got really confused for a moment, thinking that "deciseconds" was some git-unit meaning "seconds needed to make a decision", like in "decision-seconds" xD

Note: english is not my mother tongue, but I am from the civilised part of the world that uses the metric system FWIW.
I know plenty of engineers (web application developers) making over £100-£150k outside of London, usually in fairly low-stress remote jobs.

The pay is clearly nothing compared to the US, but I wouldn’t say it was massively hard for them to get where they are. They all have 5+ years experience at a senior level, and are otherwise just reliable, capable, low-maintenance employees, but maybe that’s rare!
No, he does not.

I agree, I think it would be very reasonable to instate the death penalty for corps. It's difficult though because they've already identified legal structures that make them very difficult to kill and even more difficult to kill in a way where they can't reassemble. Identifying an effective way to truly and permanently kill a corp, so that the death penalty would make a real difference, would be a good start.
> It's a known thing that there is no way of running GitHub Actions locally. There is a tool called act but in my experience it's subpar.

I really hope there will be a nice, official tool to run gh actions locally in the future. That would be incredible.

You can't officially sell the computer as "Windows Compatible", and won't be able to sell it with Windows preinstalled with an OEM license, which is basically (i.e. heavily discounted) free to you as the OEM.

Plus, it doesn't protect you from Microsoft making Windows incompatible with your specific system "by accident" (See Dr.DOS incident), or sue you to oblivion by a very small clause in their licenses.
I would disagree with the implication that everything has to grow, but solely on the grounds that I am not convinced human beings are psychologically mature enough as a species to be that connected with that many other humans and still retain their capacity for acting like a a good human.

The federated networks I am part of are pretty small and we have a lovely time sharing diverse interests, getting to know each other and even disagreeing sometimes without the blind hate, persistent negativity and gotch'a seeking you typically find on places like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Too much growth too quickly would destroy that, turning those small federated networks into another cesspool of bad behavior.

However, I am open to hearing why people disagree. My personal experience drives my opinion, so ymmv.
This isn't news, the other popular benchmarks are just as gamed and worthless, it would be shocking if this one wasn't. The other frontier model providers game them just as hard, it's not an OpenAI thing. Any benchmark that a provider themselves mentions is not worth the pixels its written on.
> I'm trying to get them removed but it takes months.

If you're not directly responsible for them I wouldn't bother. That they're still in the position they're in is indicative of a problem in management and it won't change, no matter how much you push for change. Just collect the paycheck and look for something better, or create something better.
Do you have a source for 34 million Native Americans?
Can confirm. Using ed on a Texas Instruments dial-up terminal (modem for phone handset) with a thermal printer.

Yeah, when I tried to implement BMP I couldn't even find a good specification. In the end it was easier to write a PNG loader/writer than deal with BMP. I've also got much better compatibility with other software.

The writer was so trivial that even with the need to encapsulate the uncompressed data in a Deflate compatible bitstream it was just easier than trying to do a BMP output.

I've even released my code under public domain if someone is interested: http://public-domain.advel.cz/

For a married couple in Germany, they reach 40% in effective tax rate somewhere above 600,000€ in combined annual income.

My take would be that once people have 100k€ in net annual income per person, they just do other things and work less because it brings them more happiness than the additional money would.
> And it is unclear to me what value is added by the yubikey? And would any FIDO device work, or is this yubikey brand only?

As my sibling comment says, this doesn't use FIDO, it uses PIV. The YubiKey pretends to be a USB CCID-class smartcard reader [1], with a PIV-capable smartcard inserted. You could use any other PIV-capable smartcard, but then you would also probably have to buy a smartcard reader. I do have a Dell keyboard with a built-in smartcard reader [2], but I don't use it. This would also be much bulkier.

Edit: Smartcard vendors also vary wildly in terms of their support for "Things that aren't Microsoft Windows".

Oh boy, there's a special kind of hell I enter into everytime I set up new github actions. I wrote a blog post a few months ago about my pain[0] but one of the main things I've found over the years is you can massively reduce how horrible writing github actions is by avoiding prebuilt actions, and just using it as a handy shell runner.

If you write behaviour in python/ruby/bash/hell-rust-if-you-really-want and leave your github action at `run: python some/script.py` then you'll have something that's much easy to test locally, and save yourself a lot of pain, even if you wind up with slightly more boilerplate.

> The confusion I see here is that people are equating a hold out set to a blind set. That's a set of data to test against that the model developers (and model) cannot see.

What on earth? This is from Tamay Besiroglu at Epoch:

Regarding training usage: We acknowledge that OpenAI does have access to a large fraction of FrontierMath problems and solutions, with the exception of a unseen-by-OpenAI hold-out set that enables us to independently verify model capabilities. However, we have a verbal agreement that these materials will not be used in model training.

So this "confusion" is because Epoch AI specifically told people it was a blind set! Despite the condescending tone, your comment is just plain wrong.
What the OP is trying to say is that to grow from 50k euros earned per year to 1 million euros earned per year is very, very cumbersome and, yes, mentally challenging and very stressful, and that a lot of people actively choose to stay/remain at the 50k euros per year level and they'll not take the risks of trying to get to more than 1 million per year.

Once you're at more than 1 million per year there are other challenges and you can probably afford to hire someone to take part of that burden off your shoulders, but until you get to that point you're on your own and it's very damn stressful (and by stressful I mean that that includes the possible inflated but all to real fear of getting to prison because of that tax-thingie that you didn't fill the 100% correct way or because some work your company did broke some municipal regulations or whatever and now you're on the hook for damages and, yes, personal liability).

Actually your VAT-skimming thing at the end is a very good example of that mentality, i.e. the innovators here having to have the Tax man front and center in their minds, before innovation and trying to build something useful off the ground, because if you don't know how to play the Tax man (at the limit of legality, as your example is) then you're toast. That "playing the Tax-man" thing consumes a lot of people's energy in the early stages, energy that would have been way better spent trying to actually make something new and innovative.

[the 50k and 1 million figures are just used as examples, maybe it's not 50k but 70k or 80k and maybe it's not 1 million but 5 to 10 million, but the idea stays the same]
Not wanting to live in the United States, I would venture.
This is true and I believe it doesn't make sense to compare tax burdens of the people who are already wealthy.

It makes sense to compare tax burdens of well-paid employees, a favorite cash cow of most governments. These are the people who sometimes start new businesses, and use their savings to do so.

And there is a meaningful difference to the volume of their savings if their top tax bracket is 30 per cent or 55 per cent.
It works though?! I've got all that US political nonsense added as mute/block words and follow a couple of notorious block lists and I rarely if ever see any of that content in my feed.
hey thanks!

definitely interesting!

I do wonder if this really solves the author problem because by the looks of it , you just have to run meta command and it would run over each of the sub directory. While at the same time , I think I like it because this is what I think people refer to as "modular monolith"

Combining this with nats https://nats.io/ (hey if you don't want it to be over the network , you could use nats with the memory model of your application itself to reduce any overhead) and essentially just get yourself a really modular monolith in which you can then seperate things selectively (ahem , microservices) afterwards rather easily.
that is just one example of issues with thermoplastics. the AMS is great though.
You didn't read what I quoted and replied to. Please do so before responding with "false".
There is no law or precedent to prohibit someone from engaging in contracts because of holding public office. In fact there is even an ongoing movement to try to get more politicians to do exactly this so that campaign promises would be more likely to be executed. Again qualified immunity would probably make these contracts impossible to enforce against a politician, but in this case the agreement would work as a defense if for some reason Oracle et al faced legal threats or fines for continuing to work with TikTok.
I'm not sure what you think the difference is.

This will depend enormously on the company: a consulting and IT services company like Capgemini will employ Moroccan university graduates at 32K€/year. Apple will recruit the best engineers from telecoms companies, arms manufacturers, research institutes and intelligence services for 120K€/year and the same in share, equity.

France knows how to train excellent engineers and give them responsibilities in major government bodies, but doesn't know how to keep them in France. A glass ceiling is rapidly forming for engineers. French companies only value management.
There's also this constant desire on the part of French companies to go low-cost.

The speed run of the French engineer is to be admitted to a good engineering school, to be recruited on diploma in a large state body, to spend 3-5 years there with a low salary but great responsibility, to be recruited by a Swiss or American company, profit.
Exactly.
You can be interrogated by police and detained only to have watched Italian TV or listen Italian radio broadcasts.
Anyway, this was a very common behaviour in Albania and it's the reason why most Albanians speaks Italian very well and know a lot about italian culture.
Have we reached the point where we use gatorade to water our crops yet?
That’s a trivial problem to solve though. Just push an update to the app that shows the „we were banned“ message if a specific API endpoint isn’t reachable anymore (and general internet connectivity is still there of course). Then you can operate as normal until your servers are forcefully shut down.
Correct, but the tail of VC being fat is unique to the US. Pretty much the rest of the world is like the UK in all but a miniscule percentage preferring stability rather than moonshots.

> so they aren't running around / screaming / bothering other patrons

Going to a restaurant when I was a young kid was considered a treat and special occasion, and if I misbehaved, I was out of there immediately. I quickly learned to sit in my chair, eat my food, and not be disruptive.

I think people in general these days act with a higher sense of entitlement, and that translates to parents believing that it's fine for them to go to restaurants because they want to, ignoring whether or not it's appropriate for their children, somehow also believing that they "deserve a break" and their kids' disruptive behaviors in public aren't their problem. But no, screw that: if your children won't behave at restaurants, don't bring them along. If you can't find a sitter, then you don't get to go either. (If you can't afford a sitter, then you probably can't afford going out to a restaurant either.)

> ...to give them the TV time at the restaurant...

I would have less of a problem with this if the kid was using headphones (I know, risky for their ears at a young age if they also have control of the volume), or if the tablet could be kept quiet enough so I can't hear it at my nearby table. But that's rarely the case.

But hey, sure, if you can give your kid TV time at a restaurant without me having to listen to it, I guess that's fine. I think that's a poor substitute for actually teaching kids how to behave in public, but I'm not that kid's parent, and that's just my opinion.
