> I know of no test that will tell you if they're a good fit for your company, which is arguably more important than their skill level.

I'm beginning to see it the other way around though. My manager has to "get me". I've only met one so far and he understood who I was well enough during our first interview.

He was like "ah I see, so you have lots of different skills and you want to go into lots of different directions. Awesome! I think we can do amazing projects together." This was coupled with "during lunch we like to talk about (geo) politics, some science facts, random stuff and self-improvement, those type of things." (note: Dutch company)

Ultimately I noticed he must have a fairly high openness to experience. I think all managers that I am managed by should have that.

Engineers at a company are generally going to be of a similar caliber, regardless of background. Less prestigious companies will have less impressive h1bs, but they will fit right in.

There may be some industries with difficult infra projects, but as you admit, that's not most projects.

And of course I think they compete on labor cost and efficiency. That's why they often send the infra team to low cost areas. Not every task can make maximal use of talent. The amazing PhD engineer demanding 500k won't make better coffee than a college dropout asking 40k, despite the potential for the espresso machine breaking down mid shift or accidentally dropping rat poison into everyone's coffee.

On the B2B2C section, my mind immediately went to OAuth. For a developer like Bob giving his end users access to a service, wouldn't a standard OAuth flow where his users grant permission to his app would be the more conventional and secure solution?

It feels like that model handles key management, delegation, and revocation in a well-established way.

What am I missing here that makes this a better fit?

> The girl was in a vulnerable position (far from home, first time attending, relatively poor) and coming from a different culture

I'll grant you young (although as far as I can gather that was 21 years, so 5 years older than mature and sensible enough to vote in the UK), but how do any of the others contribute to this vague "vulnerability"? How does not knowing the geography, or being at a conference the first time (a tech conference is not like a jungle expedition where experience is key...), or being of modest means, make it harder to discriminate sexual partners? This "vulnerable" only applies to someone like a spy that has to deftly navigate the city and social interactions to complete a mission, not a regular attendee.

Lucrative but not cool. There's no long term strategy if there's no new, category-defining, cool products. People will eventually sour on the same-old, same-old and expensive, fragile, unrepairable products.

Excessive greed obliterates goodwill.

You don't seem to understand sj placed cool first, while TC was the bean counter and continues to optimize this while jumping the shark.

Current Apple has a deep, systemic lack of cool and lack of entrepreneurial leadership with good taste that will ultimately lose the crown.

It doesn’t mean anything. Almost none of the words you use have clear accepted definitions. AI got turned into a label for so many things it doesn’t mean anything. AGI comes from science fiction with no metrics, just hope and hype. Terms like sovereign and alignment serve mainly to add a scientific and philosophical veneer to marketing.

In English we call a baby horse a foal. Deer give birth to fawns.

Abandoned baby animals die. Bonding and mirroring don’t come into it. I think you misapply a biological and developmental process observed in some animals, including humans, to software — a category error. Software has no need to bond or mirror behavior, just like animals have no need for matrix arithmetic.

You talk about evidence. What evidence do you imagine a victim will have?

The cards are stacked. A mature perp picks situation when there is no evidence and no witnesses. And it is statistics that 9 out of 10 times it is a man.

Believing women actually IS a big step to neutral fact finding. Big upgrade from the previous state where victims were ignored.

Those men in this thread who are so scared about cancelled, you know who to blame. Other men.

The IPCC is a political organization, not a scientific one. They have a dismal record for the accuracy of their predictions, and lack consistency in data they've released that overlaps their previous data releases.

> You can't look at gerrymandering at that scale. It exists on the scale of individual states.

But Congress is a national body. Maryland is almost the exact flip of Tennessee (2:1 democrat) and democrats have gerrymandered the state so there's only 1 GOP district. Republicans have 35% of the vote, but only 12% of the representatives. At the end of the day, Congressional votes aren't taken state-by-state, and the delta between each party's share of the two-party popular vote and their share of seats typically is small.

There's no fair way to do districting. "Independent" redistricting commissions don't work. In California, which has an independent redistricting commission, republicans have just 17% of the seats despite getting 39% of the vote. It's not that much better than Illinois's extreme gerrymander, where the GOP got only 17% of seats with 46% of the popular vote.

If we mandated districts be drawn by independent commissions in every state, they'd get taken over by democrats, just like every other non-elected institution (everything from NPR to the ABA). At least the adversarial political process we have now results in relatively small, non-permanent advantages to either side. The only solution would be to ban districts all together and have a statewide vote for a party slate of candidates.

My hot take is that the Slack logo is an Alphabet-product logo. The colors aren't quite right, but it's red/yellow/green/blue like an Alphabet logo. It would fit right into the lineup. It's particularly similar to the (obsolete) Google Podcasts and Google Photos logos.

My pet theory (that I don't sincerely believe) is that this was deliberate to help smooth a hypothetical acquisition by Alphabet, before they were bought by Salesforce.

After decades of typing I recently started having a "tender" feeling in my finger tips. I went to an orthopedic surgeon and he said it's not carpal tunnel, but simply over use. Other than taking breaks, stretching, and not getting in the habit of working at night, can anyone give some practical advice that helped them? Do I need to stretch more? Strengthen? Change my diet? It's not too bad but I'm wondering how I can go on like this for ten or twenty more years.

what I mean is: building these systems is nontrivial, but if done well it can help. Imagine non being in an endless queue on a phone call when having to do a simple task through a customer center call, or having a phone reminder with more information and less noise than from a written notification. The fact that I failed at it (for lack of experience and resources) does not mean it should just be shrugged off as useless or impractical. Some companies offer this service and it works just fine for narrow use cases.

Don't employees normally have a 6 month lockup after an IPO?

> Although the employees are making more than they ever dreamed of right now. For once a lockup period is working in their favor!

According to this quote Figma employees have a lockup too. I guess this worked out well for the employees who might have otherwise dumped 100% of their stock the instant the opening bell rang. But I assume most people wouldn't really do that because capital gains tax. They'd gradually liquidate and diversify.

For that matter, do VCs even sell all their stock on day 1? Companies issue new shares specifically for an IPO. Do we know the investors didn't wait for the "pop" and then sell?

There are also extremely misleading research articles out there promising good results with deep networks in the area of anomaly detection, without adequate comparison with more classical techniques.

This well-known critical paper shows examples of AI articles/techniques applied to popular datasets with good-looking results. But, it also demonstrates that, literally, a single line of MATLAB code can outperform some of these techniques: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.13807

EnsoData | Sales | Remote US | Full-Time | $83k-$220k + equity

Sleep is vital to recharging mentally, restoring our bodies physically, and fighting off disease. Sleep is so core to our health that it's the activity we all spend most of our life doing.

* Yet sleep disorders are some of the most underdiagnosed health conditions on the planet, with an estimated 80% of obstructive sleep apnea patients undiagnosed and untreated

* EnsoData uses pulse oximeters paired with machine learning and mobile apps with a clinician portal to automate sleep study scoring and give sleep clinicians tools to find and help patients with sleep disorders.

* We're hiring 12 regional sales executives around the USA to build relationships with sleep clinicians and figure out which of our product can help solve their problems. Base comp is $83-90k based on experience, plus commission with TC of $220k

I got way into webaudio and made some libraries to that effect. For something close to TFA, try wafxr:

https://fenomas.github.io/wafxr/

It can export wav files, but its main purpose is to generate code snippets for playing the sound effect through webaudio, underneath using a much more general library. But people familiar with audio synthesis might prefer just using the underlying dependency directly - it basically turns arbitrary config into webaudio. This playground shows how it works:

It's a choice that Google made to obfuscate their DRM by calling it "FLAG_SECURE", at the cost of usability and security for everyone else. Just check out this delightful doublespeak: https://developer.android.com/security/fraud-prevention/acti...

> When a window is flagged with FLAG_SECURE, Android prevents screenshots from being taken and prevents the window from being displayed on a non-secure display, such as a TV or projector. This helps to protect the information that is being displayed in the window from being accessed by unauthorized people.

What's a "secure display"? Why, none other than our old friend HDCP: https://source.android.com/docs/compatibility/16/android-16-...

So the docs might imply that "the information" is your banking information, and the "unauthorized people" are, I guess, dudes with binoculars outside your window. But actually "the information" is Netflix and the "unauthorized people" are you.

That's why you can project your OTP codes on a 50-foot wall as long as your projector is HDCP-compliant.

> The current "fickleness" is from a single individual. The other branches of government are refusing to check out even criticize his actions.

Leading to the observation that it isn't a single individual. It is a large number of people agreeing on what the political priorities are.

> Government actions are supposed to be proposed publicly, accept and consider public comments, and then allow legal arguments about the process and motivations.

The Trump people have done all that on the way to where we are right now. It's been quite hard to escape the debate over the last decade or so. It was heated, public and quite interesting to follow. There were at least 3 elections involved (realistically a lot more, the internal mechanisms of the Republican party have been active), and his opponents have been comprehensive in their analysis of his flaws and the issues with his policies.

Non-paywalled: https://archive.is/w04aA

In relation to TFA: normothermic regional perfusion and ECMO seem like basically the same medical technology being performed on the bodies of people who only differ in legal status.

I'm no medical expert, but Claude tells me "About 32-40% of ECMO patients survive to hospital discharge, with 1-year survival around 32-33%," but also notes that "Among those who make it past the critical first 30 days, 5-year survival rates improve significantly to 71-73%."

It is sobering to consider that potentially a third of the population who could be eligible for involuntary organ donation without their informed consent (what's being proposed) might otherwise reach a point of sufficient capacity to be discharged from the hospital, and a further third of those may go on to live for a year, with rapidly improving outcomes past the 30 day mark.

I switched to very light action keys. I’m on Pro Red chocs but have also liked even lighter ones. I also use Glove80 which minimizes finger contortion

Also start dictating more where you can. Try WisprFlow or other cutting edge alternatives

Use LLMs for dictated work even if closely instructed. It can be easier to verbally describe changes to make than to type them out precisely. Even if you are very specific about the changes needed, in terms of code not just functional requirements

And stop typing much on smartphones

I'm not indicting anything, I'm simply pointing out that there are a lot of assumptions that SPAs are the only or best way to have a great user experience, that server interactions are slow, that DOM updates are slow, and that API-based SPAs are the only way to solve all of these issues. The Datastar demo disproves all of these, regardless of how you feel about Datastar's specific approach to it.

Which leads me back to my original point that the only feature an SSR can't intrinsically provide is offline functionality.

True, but that's marketing. Without a DRM-free digital copy, it's still "For as long as we allow you to have". Steam also doesn't allow selling "licenses" or whole accounts. All money paid to streaming and "buy" on most platforms is for temporary, pretend purchase. One exception of media distributors is GoG where offline, DRM-free copies are offered.

Ironically, that's how I got the whole idea of symbol-level edits. I was working on project like that, and realized that a lot of work is actually fairly small edits. But to do one right, you need to you need to look through a bunch of classes, abstraction layers, and similar implementations, and then keep in your head how to get an instance of X from a pointer to Y, etc. Very annoying repetitive work.

I tried copy-pasting all the relevant parts into ChatGPT and gave it instructions like "add support for X to Y, similar to Z", and it got it pretty well each time. The bottleneck was really pasting things into the context window, and merging the changes back. So, I made a GUI that automated it - showed links on top of functions/classes to quickly attach them into the context window, either as just declarations, or as editable chunks.

That worked faster, but navigating to definitions and manually clicking on top of them still looked like an unnecessary step. But if you asked the model "hey, don't follow these instructions yet, just tell me which symbols you need to complete them", it would give reasonable machine-readable results. And then it's easy to look them up on the symbol level, and do the actual edit with them.

It doesn't do magic, but takes most of the effort out of getting the first draft of the edit, than you can then verify, tweak, and step through in a debugger.

I got tired of losing my best AI prompts, so I built a place to discover, save, bookmark, and create prompts that actually work.

You know the cycle: spend 2 hours crafting the perfect prompt for a product requirements document, get great output, then completely lose track of it. Two weeks later, waste another 2 hours recreating the same prompt from scratch, but it's never quite as good as the original.

I was spending 15+ hours monthly just on prompt recreation. Even worse, my recreated prompts were often inferior because I couldn't remember the specific tweaks that made the originals work.

So I built GetPrompts - a place to discover proven prompts from other builders, save your favorites, bookmark the ones that work, and create new ones with a built-in testing lab.
