Very interesting and informative! I'm a bit shocked that it would take significant effort/creativity for an MIT grad with relevant course/project work to get a job in the niche I would have thought the recruiting pipeline is

Thanks! We are down to 14 disagreements between OSH and busybox ash/bash on Alpine Linux main https://op.oils.pub/aports-build/published.html We also don't appear to be unreasonably far away from running ~~

Yeah totally, not a single mention of Kurzweil in this article. I also read “Age of spiritual machines” in 1999 (in college), and skimmed most of his subsequent books Then Kurzweil became my manager’s peer at Google in 2014 or so (actually

BUT, I think the author is looking for deviance in some of the wrong places In the section at the end, he does admit that possibility: The internet ethnographer Katherine Dee argues that the most interesting art is happening in domains w

Does anyone have experience with say Linode and Digital Ocean performance versus AWS and GCE? They still use VMs, but as far as I know they have simple reserved instances, not “cloud”-like weather? Is the performance better and more predict

I believe Google has earned the most revenue of any business ever [1] So if the idea is to unseat Google, and make LLMs that are monetized by ads -- well that would be a lot of revenue! The problem is obviously that Google knows this, and t

Yeah I fasted for the first time last year, and it pretty much immediately turned off a pain response due to an overactive immune response I got the idea from a book, and it worked When I ate again, it came back, but I was definitely relie

Yeah that is nice, but ironically we can only have this discussion because Hacker News itself is not full of lemons I can click on the profiles, and see "created 2009 or 2014", and think "OK this is probably a real person&quo

I'm pretty sure that's "interior" piping to ABS functions like split() and map() As opposed to "exterior" piping to executables like grep and xargs, which may be written in any language I believe the comment yo

That's a major reason that https://oils.pub/ started out with the POSIX- and bash-compatible OSH, and then added YSH on top of it (while removing legacy) In YSH, you can do everything that bash does with processes, bec

Yup, back when I used windows, my solution to software rot was “just don’t install things that aren’t absolutely essential” Same goes for OS X now — it seems every OS grows incomprehensible to the company that makes it Which is sad, because

Yes definitely, but I'm pretty sure that he was just saying vibe coding is POSSIBLE and a fun thing to try, to see how far you can get (which is true, it can do some surprising things) Not that companies should literally try to "v

Hm I would like to see this in C rather than Rust. And I wonder if you can run the 1000 line OS in C along with the 1000 line hypervisor It would be nice to see a demo!

Well maybe, but none of that implies that there will be fewer radiologists will be employed, or that people studying radiology now are fools. The overwhelming likely thing is that radiologist jobs will change, just like programming jobs wil

I guess it's worth reminding people that in 2016, Geoff Hinton said some pretty arrogant things that turned out to be totally wrong: Let me start by saying a few things that seem obvious. I think if you work as a radiologist, you&#x2

That's not the only difference - the other issue is that you lose the stack, and must rely on member variables instead. If you search for pop(), you can see that self.expected_ret.append(ret) self.generic_visit(n) self.ex

It's very nice to see a small type checker in Python, for Python! This became much easier in the last 10 years, since the MyPy team basically "upstreamed" the typed_ast library they were using into the stdlib. I found that t

OK, but I think it will end up being more than 25 years behind schedule, taking into account the claims which is what people like Chris Urmson and Bill Gurley already said prior to 2018 (see my sibling comment) https://en.wikiped

Also, I think Hacker News mostly believed the hype about self-driving cars, with relatively little pushback. Many people were influenced by what the CEOs/investors said, and of course the prospect of jobs and "cool tech" e.g
