Because random people on the internet deciding to target a random family suffering from a serious illness won't remotely help anything. Regardless of the immigration status of the family, they'll be targeted as if they were illegal (even though their kids were explicitly born in the US and are obviously Americans) and the vitriol will ensure their community is less safe.. the ensuing media freakout will make sure that other infected communities are much less likely to turn up to hospitals when they have communal infections, almost guaranteeing the next outbreak will spread further.

Remember the "illegal haitians are eating our cats" bullshit from last summer? When they absolutely weren't and they were all legal refugees anyway? Then the future President weighed in and said the US should deport them anyway?
> Clippy, on the other hand, is very charismatic.

Clippy was not popular. While I like the idea of a character that you can relate to, but I think it doesn't really fit in the modern context. When Clippy arrived, computers had really just broken into the mainstream - they were still magic boxes and there were a lot of efforts to soften them and make them accessible to "normal people"

I think these days computers are seen simply as a tool, and the animations of a couple of decades ago are seen as distracting or superfluous now.

As an aside, I found it odd that Microsoft chose to name its voice assistant after Cortana back in the VA craze of the last decade. It seemed like a poor choice to me as it was conflating the game experience with a real-life experience.
That's the exception rather than the rule. Most people have to switch employers to get a significant pay raise.
Chrono Cross, environmentalism, and a world without humanity (2017)
I think this is one of those areas where "I'm not smart enough" because I have the exact same thoughts as you. Clearly, these rules were implemented by people "smarter than I" to the point that it seems nonsensical to us mere mortals.
The author was young and learned the hard way. There is no single country on Earth that is integrated in the ultra-financiarized western economic sphere that is not potentially affected. It is the end of stable jobs and pretty much the end of all economy altogether, except for the crony capitalists that leech off the printer. Every company is owned by Blackrock. They take major shortsighted decissions to the tune of the imaginary casinos ("investors", or "the market") or fund scorings. Productive activity no longer matters. Experienced people no longer matter. The game is a different one and you are not even a player.
The pros aren't all that compelling either. The npm repo is the only group that this would really be remotely significant for, and there seemed to be no interest. So it doesn't take much of a con to nix a solution to a non-problem.
I only just now noticed it changed in the US, which apparently happened in 2022. I remember seeing "Coca-Cola sin azúcar" and "Coca-Cola sans sucre" in foreign markets before, I feel like I saw that pre-2022. I don't recall ever seeing a "Coca-Cola cero", for instance. Kind of feels like it was more aligning the brands internationally but maybe I'm just misremembering.
Thanks, I’ll try out that invoice PDF guide. Been looking for a practical example like this.

I have no idea of the difference(s) in performance between wlroots and Gnome's compositor. Protocols do not have performance, implementations do. If someone can prove that the Wayland protocol, on a certain set of tasks, and in a certain environment, has a better or worse performance than the X11 protocol, then it might be possible to make abstract comparisons on protocol.

Given that Gnome runs on both X and Wayland, it might be interesting to hear from the Gnome authors on the performance differences.
Demographic analysis in a modern sense is irrelevant for Russia. They will need to introduce something resembling feudal slavery and suck people out from former Soviet Union republics.
Well that's more of a political question. Nothing in the treaty explicitly states what a nation can do if another nation's merchant vessel appears to be intentionally damaging property. So then it becomes a matter of whether they want to escalate the situation, or pursue an international legal case, or retaliate clandestinely, or some other option.
The Minimum Vertex Cover Problem
I have the same exact experience at my current company. My official performance, which is given by my boss, improved since I started to not care. My output fell, the quality of my work is the same, just less quantity, but for some reason my scores are higher.

On the other hand, I had a job where my performance was rewarded greatly, and I was lucky to be at the right place for that. Almost all of the employees at the same company were not that lucky.
My guess, frontlines.
> We're all entry level worker bees

You're going to need to pitch your buddies a lot more aggressively than that.

You've worked closely with Mike in the past at ExampleCorp, where he was one of the team's top contributors. He was great at code reviewing, a calm and reliable voice during production incidents, and always ready to help out new graduates. Mike was the guy people turned to with their most difficult WidgetStack bugs, fixing problems that had stumped other developers. He would be a great asset to the company, and a great fit for this role - which you note needs WidgetStack. He has your strongest possible recommendation.

The thing is - the pitch also has to be true.
Actual salaries haven't fallen. The point of paying those salaries is you have to earn every penny. If they overhire and a bunch of people start taking the money for granted, that breaks down the social contract

Half of the perks e.g. sabbaticals or sleeping pods don't even make sense in a competitive working environment
I don't think this is true of all companies. My current company doesn't base bonuses on individual contributions, and even went so far as to reduce the number of "story points" that top contributors did in sprints so that the rest of the team wouldn't look bad.

A lot of modern programming languages do not do tail call optimization, often citing keeping accurate stack history for debugging as an excuse.

Regardless of how valid the excuse is, for such an obvious and old optimization, it’s very poorly supported.
That strikes me as odd - I see engineering as primarily a matter of puzzle-solving. Why should solving a puzzle not be a fair test of your abilities?

Did he say anything about the dumb and energetic?
ICX appears to just default to fast-math: https://godbolt.org/z/jzPazGjoh

Requiring -fno-math-errno is sane enough, essentially noone needs math errno anyway (and that flag is needed to vectorize even sqrt, for which there's a proper full hardware SIMD instruction, but which obviously doesn't set errno on a negative input or whatever).

Probably depends on the vector math library used whether it handles near-infinity or inf/NaN values properly. And there's also the potential concern that the scalar and vector exp() likely give different results, leading to weird behavior, which might be justification for -funsafe-math-optimizations.
Yes, for people in academia the trend is clear, but it seems that WallStreet didn't believe this was possible. They assume that spending more money is all you need to dominate technology. Wrong! Technology is about human potential. If you have less money but bigger investment in people you'll win the technological race.

Yes, at some point bitcoin will stop growing in value, I'll agree with that. Personally I think it will be at a market cap of $100T-200T (in today's dollars), but time will tell.

If you measure its value relative to dollars though, it will go up forever and faster than GDP (dollars are historically devalued by money supply inflation at 7%/year)
OpenAI operator and Anthropic performed below average on chimp memory test
I benchmarked OpenAI operator and Anthropic's computer use on the human benchmark chimp test (https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/chimp).

Before I began the test, I thought the agents would be much better at this task than most humans -- after all they should have better, more stateful memory than us. The results are intriguing.

Here are the scores from 10 attempts:
OpenAI operator: 5, 5, 6, 5, 5, 4, 6, 5, 5, 5
Anthropic computer use agent: 7, 9, 6 (rate limited), 12, 9, 7, 9, 11, 12, 6 (rate limited)

Start with r/LocalLLama and r/StableDiffusion. Look for benchmarks for various GPUs.

I have an RTX 3060(12GB) and 32GB RAM. Just ran Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf in llama.cpp with flash attention enabled and 8K context. I get get 845t/s for prompt processing and 25t/s for generation.

For a while I even ran llama.cpp without a GPU (don't recommend it for diffusion) and with the same model (Qwen2.5 14B) I would get 11t/s for processing and 4t/s for generation. Acceptable for chats with short questions/instructions and answers.
DeepSeek has recently provided a more concrete demonstration of what this paper laid out in principle, which could impact things.
For captured senior/important figures were given all kinds of affordances and gestures made which contrast shockingly with the conditions we know people endured in concentration camps.

It wasn't just senior and important figures; POW camps generally were nothing like the Nazi concentration camps since their purpose was internment rather than extermination. People tend to conflate the two, partly because Eisenhower worked so hard to document the Holocaust.

Western POWs were also treated better than Eastern POWs out of fear of retaliation; the USSR wasn't a signatory to the Geneva conventions and already treated their prisoners poorly so there was no similar incentive to treat Eastern POWs well. (And also layered on top of this was Nazi ideology about Slavic races being inferior etc.)
"Rubber stamping" is an English idiom that specifically means to approve without reading or understanding it.

* If the test involves milk, then it is added to the bowl before pouring the infused tea into it, unless that is contrary to the organisation's normal practice.

Thank you for this.

In the article, the author says that he was fired alongside most of his team. Then makes a lot of statements about how great of a job he was doing. To me it looks like the firing was thus based on option 3, yet the author did not make a single comment about the profitability of the product he was working on, or the team performance of the group he was working on.

As an example, he made "features that helped power users", without articulating how much additional revenue these feature contributed for. How many of those power users were there ? Were they at risk of churning, or were they locked with the product anyway ? If they were, those hours were fully wasted as no additional revenue could be associated to those features. It's all fine if your product is bringing in a lot of money - with the current headcount - and the vision of your company is that you need to need to prevent competition from catching up. But otherwise it's not exactly the feature an exec will look at and be that happy to spend money on.

I read once: "Here is to discern a junior form a senior: If you are a junior, and deliver quality code for a feature that ultimately did not reach it's audience; well you still did a good job. If you are a senior and deliver quality code for a feature that ultimately did not reach its audience; well you failed". In our industry, seniority is about looking beyond just writing code, especially with AI coding agent coming up and taking away that part of the job.
there's this wisdom I read a long time ago: "there's millions of photos of the Grand Canyon. There's only one or two photos of the Grand Canyon with you in it."

I was never really concerned about the ethics, but was more worried that I'd be personally liable for it. I kept thinking about the VW emissions scandal, where the engineer that implemented it was given prison time.

In hindsight, it was probably a stupid thing for me to worry about. I also never should have expected that I'd be able to change the director's mind by refusing to do what he said.

>But a human isn't intelligent over a second, and synapses do form over longer periods which is what it takes for humans to solve harder problems.

So you’re saying as you talk to me right now you’re not conscious? Neurons didn’t grow connections right now so you’re not alive? You won’t form connections in an hour so during that hour your some kind of robot and suddenly when you form a connection you’re not?

We have algorithms that can self evolve neural networks in computers on its own. So you’re actually wrong here there’s progress on this front.

I am not missing anything critical. I know there are huge differences between the human brain and an LLM but the statement remains true. Both are neural networks. The problem here is that you either don’t understand vocabulary or you think everyone around you is so dumb they can’t see the differences.

Everyone and I mean everyone knows what you’re saying in the paragraph above. It’s common knowledge anyone can pull out their ass and your regurgitating it as if your a scientist or expert. Get this, BOTH are still neural networks and both have commonalities despite the distinctions. Both are also Turing complete.

Various shared hosting likely will always beat this price. Caveat is that many shared hosters don't know how to properly run mail servers within their shared hosting infra. Many do, however.
Not necessarily - could retain backward compat by publishing both gzip and zstd variants and having downloaders with newer npm’s prefer to download zstd. Over time, you could require packages only upload zstd going forward and either generate zstd versions of the backlog of unmaintained packages or at least those that see some amount of traffic over some time period if you’re willing to drop very old packages. The ability to install arbitrary versions of packages probably means you’re probably better off reprocessing the backlog although that may cost more than doing nothing.

The package lock checksum is probably a more solvable issue with some coordination.

The benefit of doing this though is less immediate - it will take a few years to show payoff and these kinds of payoffs are not typically made by the kind of committee decisions process described (for better or worse).

As with all things, it depends where you are. It’s not the case for big tech employers, who tend to have very clear “levels” and (from what I can tell on levels.fyi) it’s often a 25%+ jump in total comp.

And these are the biggest employers of talent. It may not be most people in a startup forum, but it’s a lot of people.

For all others, I think it’s because tech isn’t seen as such an important revenue driver. Lots of places we are still seen as a cost center.

There’s probably some truth that many normal soldiers fighting for nazi germany were not aware of the full extent of the horrors at the time. I suspect many just ignored the evidence and believed they were in a traditional war like 1914, or colonial wars of the late 19th century.

Certainly when Germans were shown the concentration camps after the war they wouldn’t believe the evidence in front of them. They didn’t want to think about it during the war either.

Theres no excuse now of course.

It’s sickening that with the increased support of the far right across the west being so apparent today, that it’s the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz today.
Absolutely. They were described as "disastrous to morale" and units which had engaged in Christmas truces would routinely be moved to other parts of the front in order to avoid the issues you mention.

Yes, aider can also work in architect/editor mode [0] which tends to produce the best results [1]. An architect model solves the coding problem and describes the needed changes however comes naturally to it. The editor model then takes that solution and turns it into correctly formatted instructions to edit the files.

Too much context can still confuse the LLMs in this situation, but they may be somewhat more resilient.

That's an argument Trump is betting on. I find it very disappointing that his opponents shout that it's clearly unconstitutional without addressing the point.

Reasonable way to approach it would be to try to understand what the authors meant back then. Maybe they meant something completely different but why not address the obvious point the other side is making?

I also think granting citizenship to children of people who are in a country illegally is silly and I find it very disappointing that Trump's opponents are so ideologically driven and frankly blind to popular sentiment that they can't even admit it. They make it sound like an attack on human rights or some racist policy while the whole thing is ridiculous. It's rewarding people for breaking the law - the worse kind of policy you can come up with. There is a reason very few countries have this kind of rule.
