In my (big tech) company, managers have little leverage to retain people. Salary/bonus aren't in their control. Even evaluation aren't decided by them.

They can try to make people happy so they stay in the team, but I find that they aren't very good at that either. When the team has issues, I don't find them effective to solve any problem.

They do administrative work, communicate with leadership, hire, 1:1 which are more or less useful, help with roadmapping and alignement, attend calibration meetings for evaluation.

I'm not saying they're not useful or that they don't work, but I find they leave the hard parts to the team to figure out. The hard part would be things like pushing backs on leadership demands, helping prioritizing tasks in the team.

Concrete example: right now, everybody is overworked in my team, oncall is hard because we're pushed to ship new features, not work on reliability. Manager pretends to be empathetic, "always happy to help". But practically does nothing.

My criteria for a good manager is that they're not harmful and don't add friction and stress (and those ones aren't appreciated by higher management). More than that, I've never seen it. But maybe i wasn't lucky.

Bluey was funded by the Australian ABC and British BBC. Both public broadcasters with a strong commitment to quality children's programming. It wasn't created to sell Hasbro toys or Disney merchandise or increase children's Youtube watch time. The merch and Disney streaming came later because the show is obviously brilliant.

Bluey isn't just good family programming. It is a snapshot of Australian culture and family values which would likely never be made in a world controlled by huge multinationals.

If not, there's plenty of characters in all kinds of media that just happen to be fathers and/or husbands and are treated normally.

Assuming you had an interest in writing a comprehensive treatise on German philosophy, not being able to complete it in one lifetime would strike many people as frightening.

Surprisingly the Persian Gulf is likely the exact opposite scenario. Modern research suggests that ancient likes like Ur were likely on the coastline while modern Basra would have been totally submerged. In most of the world the post glacial trend has pushed the coastline in but in the Persian gulf the trend points the other way. There is the possibility that the reason that Iraq is such a gold mine for archeological sites is because it is one of the rare places where the sea went the other way.

What makes you think this is something the new administration would take issue with?
I've had similar thoughts as well. Rust or C would also be the ideal candidate from an energy consumption point of view, as they consume way less energy than Python, which is the language that LLMs most often default to in my experience.

However it's unlikely LLMs will generate a lot of Rust code. All these LLMs are generating is the most likely next token, based on what they've been trained on. And in their training set, it's likely there is massively more Python and JS code out there than Rust, simply because those are way more popular languages. So with Rust, it's more likely to hallucinate and make mistakes than with Python where the path is much better trodden
The misunderstanding here shows that we need to be careful with in-jokes and references in an asynchronous medium. Even among people who have consumed the media in question. It's even worse with the general public (or even just general HN public).
I guess I don't see which part you're finding objectionable.

What you wrote initially was verifiably incorrect. It's not clear whether you made an honest mistake and just can't admit it now for some reason; whether you intentionally lied; or whether you genuinely can't see that what you wrote is not supported even by your own sources. It might be possible to figure out which, if you actually engaged in the discussion and explained what you mean.

Like, anybody can see what your initial claim was. Everyone can also verify that you've still not provided any evidence for it. Other than the "this is literally how TLS works" non sequitur.

Could you possibly be thinking that "logging" and "inspecting" are the same thing? Seems hard to believe. The two are obviously totally different things. In particular, the security and privacy properties of the two would be totally different. If you knew from the start that that the passwords were not being stored anywhere, saying it was "logging" is just acting in monumentally bad faith.

> Have you actually done this with recent cars? The exhaust doesn't really smell like anything once the emissions system is operating and that happens right away on newer cars with heated O2 senors and catalysts.

Yes - I’m assuming earlier today counts - and it’s better but still quite noticeable. If you’re on a bike, you notice when you stop behind EVs and hybrids which are running on batteries because they are so much less smelly.

> Particulate emissions are more related to the drivetrain than the vehicle weight

This is true, but an awful lot of buyers avoid hybrids. I’d prefer it was otherwise as you’re quite right that it makes a nice benefit.

I think differentiating roles between “effort” vs “results” is an interesting concept. I don’t have first-hand experience with a formal role ladder. I work in a small firm where I created my own role building a software platform internal to an org where no one else has any software engineering expertise. However, I’ve always ascribed to the notion that seniority is proportional to “social credit”. Where social credit is some combination of your perceived expertise at your craft, your ability to achieve results (on an arbitrary project/task) i.e. your professional competence, and the trust others put into you that you can/would help them if they ever needed. Social credit is built, and also spent. Failure is tolerated if you have social credit to spare, but is ultimately finite. People want to follow you if you have amassed more social credit than most.

In the usual terminology, these are not axioms; as your wording itself says, they are definitions. (Indeed, I'd argue that it's almost ungrammatical to say something is "defined in the axioms"; axioms may, and probably must, be stated in terms of definitions, but the definitions are not themselves axioms.) As I say, one can quibble about terminology, since what's important is less what's axiom and what's definition, and more what we can build on top of both; but the usual mathematical presentation separates out the axioms (numbered 1–9 at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms#Historical_second..., though things like 2–5 wouldn't usually be stated as an axiom of the theory but rather of the ambient logic) from the definitions (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms#Defining_arithmet...).

(Now having written that and looking back, I see that, in my previous post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43442074, I wrote "Despite the name, in the usual mathematical meaning of the term, Peano arithmetic does not define arithmetic at all, only the successor operation, and everything else is built from there." Perhaps this infelicitious-to-the-point-of-wrong wording of mine is the source of our difference? I meant to say that Peano arithmetic does not axiomatize arithmetic at all, but that arithmetic can be defined from the axioms. Thus the specific definition x[pt] = [pt] is eminently sensible if we consider the distinguished point [pt] to be playing the usual role of 0; but the definition x[pt] = x is also sensible if we consider it to be playing the usual role of 1, and even things like x[pt] = x + x + x + x + x can be tolerated if we think of [pt] as standing for 5, say. The axioms cannot distinguish among these options, because the axioms say nothing about multiplication.)

I'm particularly fond of 'Sleepytime', but 'Rain' is probably the episode that I've thought of more often than any other. Because of that 7 minute cartoon episode, I have found myself _actively_ changing my behavior/decisions with my kiddo - letting them do something that will be a bit more work for me later on (extra laundry or whatever), but something that sparks their curiosity or gives them a new experience or similar.
I would expect that a scenario where they could legally confiscate your coins is also a scenario where they could legally arrest and charge you with a crime. Confiscation of money is likely the least of your concerns there.

The government could gain valuable intel from bitcoin addresses all the way back to the Mt Gox scandal. They would have only gotten more access since then, especially with legitimate businesses operating as exchanges that follow KYC regulations.

Really delightful.
I also use UUID's everywhere - primarily due to concurrency requirements - but I ended up writing a bunch of functions (`MACRO`s) that lookup UUIDs and join them to other tables where needed, instead of using VIEWs or JSON queries.

I've not seen this approach documented much online - but it works really well for me. It has the advantage of keeping all my tables flat, while still being able to encode business logic into the database.

A typical query I might type, would look something like..

`SELECT ,trip_start_date(id) FROM trips WHERE trip2region(id) = 'AU'`

Where the two macros are just simple table joins, saving me the boilerplate work.
Where this approach has really shined, though, is through function composition...

`SELECT FROM trips WHERE loc2region(trip_origin(id)) NOT IN loc2region(location_is_hotel(trip_locations_visited(id)))`

So something like the above, which is a mix of scalar and table functions, would give me all
the trips where the traveler stayed in hotels outside of their home region.
Maybe not the best example, because I don't actually work with trip/hotel/travel data at all, but I'd be interested reading more about this approach. I was surprised how well-optimized the queries are.... \endyap
Did I indicate that's what I think? My question was quite fair.
The gridded population tools I've used, including Worldpop, seemed to start with the national census data. Only with that do they use the various other measures as a way to subdivide the census data administrative units.

I'm not sure if any of the mentioned gridded population tools are substantially census independent. Haven't read the paper yet, but maybe that could be one reason why methods are so similar.
> One thing I really appreciate about the show is the music [...]

The music is great but many shows have great music. What makes Bluey stand out for me is their commitment to 'avant-garde' formal constraints.

Some examples:

- In the episode 'Faceytalk' they never once break from the perspective of the iPad.

- In 'Rain' there's not a single word of audible dialog.

- In 'Turtle Boy' there's lots of sign language. Remember, characters in Bluey only have four fingers. The people making the show rose to the challenge of creating proper dialogue using only signs you can make with four fingers. I imagine that's about equivalent to writing English text without the latter 'e'. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Void)

> There are various results that suggest that LLMs do internally have everything they'd need to know that they're hallucinating/wrong:

The underlying requirement, which invalidates an LLM having "everything they'd need to know that they're hallucinating/wrong", is the premise all three assume - external detection.

From the first arxiv abstract:

Moreover, informed by the empirical observations, we show
great potential of using the guidance derived from LLM's
hidden representation space to mitigate hallucination.

From the second arxiv abstract:

Using this basic insight, we illustrate that one can
identify hallucinated references without ever consulting
any external resources, by asking a set of direct or
indirect queries to the language model about the
references. These queries can be considered as "consistency
checks."

From the Nature abstract:

Researchers need a general method for detecting
hallucinations in LLMs that works even with new and unseen
questions to which humans might not know the answer. Here
we develop new methods grounded in statistics, proposing
entropy-based uncertainty estimators for LLMs to detect a
subset of hallucinations—confabulations—which are arbitrary
and incorrect generations.

Ultimately, no matter what content is generated, it is up to a person to provide the understanding component.

Again, "correctness" is a determination solely made by a person evaluating a result in the context of what the person accepts, not intrinsic to an algorithm itself. All an algorithm can do is attempt to produce results congruent with whatever constraints it is configured to satisfy.

He's editor-in-chief of another site now, which it looks like he founded. You probably have to do something pretty bad to get publicly fired for cause when you were the editor-in-chief, and him having a new site he made himself isn't exactly an assurance of innocence either.

The power of unreported vulns: uninterrupted use
A CEO just needs to make sure that stuff gets done; doing it personally is just one of the ways to get there. (And not a particularly scalable one.)

For Apple it probably made sense, because the whole company's image and reputation is built on that stick.

But eg for a toilet paper manufacturer or a producer of fighter jets, the CEO shouldn't spend too much time personally testing the products.

For the former, because presumably the product doesn't change that often.

For the latter, because there's not even a single 'user' of the product. The experience of the huge ground crew (with various specialised roles) is just as important as the experience of the guy in the cockpit, etc. No CEO, and actually no single person on earth, has the expertise to judge all of these aspects of use by themselves.

That doesn't mean the experience of the users is irrelevant. Just the opposite! But the CEO will have to intelligently delegate.
