You're absolutely right! My mistake. I'll be careful about apologizing too much in the future.

Very few people already understand highly optimized numerical kernels. Many are already machine optimized. This takes it just a bit further. Most programmers do not do high performance algorithm development.

That questionnaire looks bad but from these links I didn't see a clear evaluation of impact on hiring number. It doesn't sound like recruitment was going great to begin with?

All monopolies plow a fraction of their wins into loss leaders that look generous. Apple grabs a take on developer sales? It's to maintain a high quality app environment. AT&T is distorting prices in the long distance market? They

It's not the max yet. You could find yourself dealing with the same kind of dark pattern exploitation as you're dealing with in restaurant checkout experiences this day, around the preservation of your own data. I hope you have ba

The analogy with dumping is interesting. In the software world, near-zero marginal costs make it much harder to determine, but I guess the same concept does exist.

It'd be neat to do the verification in the same manner by redistributing one client's results to another, therefore obtaining a proof modulo client collusion.

I thought there'd be a plot twist by the point I read 20 seconds into the article, letting me know that the algorithm was in fact already being run on my cell phone as I was reading about it... (Which would be a fine use of HN's t

How do you know that these models haven't been trained by running programs? At least, it's likely that they've been trained on undergrad textbooks that explain program behaviors and contain exercises.

I'm old enough to remember having to talk to a (human) agent in order to book flights, and can confirm that in my experience, the modern flight booking website is an order of magnitude better UX than talking to someone about your trave

This puts words over why I don't want to be promoted. I've watched enough VPs looking enviously at the seemingly stress free life (comparatively speaking) of lower level staff engineers, busy as they are shuffling from one escalat

For a truly multi cloud customer, your second point switches from being a pro to being a con as soon as Google owns it. Why would you give one of your cloud vendors visibility over your footprint across their competition?

On top of it this one is an amount that you wouldn't pay if it wasn't existential, and it really doesn't feel like it is.

Sometime explain the strategic rationale behind this? Google's previous big acquisition in the cloud space, Looker, didn't exactly pan out.

Thanks for clarifying. They just removed the mention of AGPL due to the confusing nature of it. https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/commit/c85224af425261...

Care to elaborate on what you mean by "his masters"?

by yujzgzc 2y ago
I stopped reading at "AGPL". I appreciate the intent but this stuff is impossible to use in practice. Even governments need partners who would likely be hesitant to run it because of that.

I have a few old math manuals at home, from late 19th / early 20th century. Many of them have a logarithm table as an appendix. It looked like the type of things that if you had a few extra sheets to print to make a booklet, you'd

Perhaps, but in the event of a conflict, I have trouble imagining him insisting that US must send more weapons to Taiwan to continue fighting. I will be very curious to see the next polls on Taiwanese opinions re. unification as they face t

Trump involuntarily did more for Taiwan / mainland unification in one meeting with Zelensky than in all the years prior. Taiwanese now understand that they can't trust US to step up to their security commitments. If US won't

A working theory would be that people do not believe that there can be bad consequences until they get burned more, so things will need to get worse for a specific set of people. It's the strategy of falling to the bottom of the pool s

The outcome of "calling it out" for 8 years straight is a comeback with popular vote win. So I think it's reasonable to change a strategy that has failed so miserably for so long.

I believe that some people's actual full-time job is to translate software from US English to British English. I wonder what that job feels like after the thousandth time you've replaced color with colour and neighbor with neighbo

See my response above. My intent to look for more info was misread as defense of DOGE. They're a bunch of clowns in a town that has lots of other clowns all entranced to the same person. There are lots of people who could have messed t

DOGE are not the only cloud in the sky, is what I'm saying.

You're mistaken about my intent. I don't think DOGE is competent and I do find Musk's slash and burn approach deeply offensive, ineffective. I hope that more of their stupidity will be exposed and that they will be held to ac

by yujzgzc 2y ago
I completely agree with the hypothesis that it has to do with feature renaming. DOGE isn't the person who asked renaming, it's POTUS. I don't think DOGE looks competent. I also don't think that they're the only inco

by yujzgzc 2y ago
Maybe it has to do with feature remaining. Maybe it's an upstream problem from a vendor dealing with the renaming. Either way it may or may not be DOGE specifically.
