I love this.

First time I was a engineering lead, things were going great, to the point we simply weren't busy... Long lunches, chill days, making good friendships. The younger staff became worried that they weren't busy and didn't have anything to do, because they were so used to always having backlogs of bugs and other random assignments to do. I simply said, this is what life is like when you're good at what you do - you reward good work with pleasantness instead of more work!

The bank we offer the finance through run full credit checks and assess the risk. Non-payment is only tied to our lending bank, the tradesperson isn't at risk. If the customer is a risk of non-payment, the bank will elect not to lend to them. For the tradesperson, we'll let them know if the customer has been rejected for finance, and they can choose to proceed with the work and hope the customer can pay them if they choose, or decide the customer isn't worth the risk

Former Goldman IBD associate here. Don't have any major insights to add to the discussion, but a few observations:

- I'm not sure what to make of the N=13. Maybe it means that the survey was circulated within a small, trusted group out of discretion; maybe it means that this represents the opinions of the 13 most pissed off analysts currently working in IBD.

- Analyst revolts at Goldman have been happening for decades. Having worked at GS at a time when Solomon was co-head of IBD and there was a fair amount of analyst grumbling, my strong hunch is that he views this situation as, "here we go again".

- Investment banking is going to be an interesting space to watch as AI improves. The singularly important skillset of an investment banking analyst lies in taking an excel spreadsheet that contains a company's filed financial statements and then 1) building an integrated three-statement financial model with five years of forecasts and valuation outputs and 2) reading the company's recent financial filings and any pertinent news, then making adjustments to the figures contained in the filings in order to calculate "true" pro forma historical financial performance upon which the projections are based. I'm no AI expert, but if that's not already doable by AI, we've got to be pretty close, right? My hunch is that we will soon see small groups of entrepreneurial managing directors working with small groups of engineers to build a platform that offers deliverable-intensive investment banking client service without analyst/associate headcount.

The “need” thing is weird because it’s a rather vague term.

It would be better to say every conversation has some kind of purpose. The purpose could be as simple as wanting to have a conversation. The purpose determines how you approach the conversation.

Before anyone throws up their hands about overthinking things, that’s the point. It’s taking what’s an implicit, emotional process and making it an explicit, logical one. Over time, this way of thinking becomes automatic, turning it into an implicit, emotional process.

Think of nonviolent communication as retraining your social skills. The same as any martial art, you have to unlearn what you think you know and start with the basics.

For myself, I learned all of my social skills this way. I lack the emotional machinery required to learn social skills the implicit way. I’m constantly updating my rules to adjust for people I can’t predict.

I have a couple friends that went this path and one reason for the absurd hours seems to be that their work needs to be done in between the times the boss is working. A more senior analyst will hand off analysis to be done overnight or on a weekend, and expect it back the next morning. But there's also an expectation to keep up appearances / "be available" during the day. So they spend most of the work day either making work for themselves or doing nothing, then work their real full-time job after normal office hours.
Thanks for the pointer to terse! I hadn't seen it before.

I think of concise as "expressive" or "cryptic". "Minimalist" usually connotes small implementation. Like chibicc or something.

Ask HN: Open-source Maintainers: want more contributors?
I run a platform that assigns tasks to contributors (like solve this issue or document this). After posting Fontemon yesterday, I've got a lot of people who want to contribute but very few maintainers who submit new tasks. So far, I've been finding issues/repositories myself, but I'd prefer to help out maintainers who really need it.

So, if you have open source work that needs to be done: either send me an email, or post a link to the repo in a comment, and we'll get it done.

It's free, I'm not trying to sell you something.
> It’s also quite well known that there was resistance to unification from the West, due to not wanting that again.

If that was so well known, then why was it that the first thing the West did was to unify their pieces of Germany into West Germany? Surely it would have been beneficial to them to keep Germany separate if they shared your assumption.

Perfectly balanced games are plentiful, take rock, paper, scissors as an example.

What makes those games interesting is the concept of Yomi[1] and learning to read an opponent. There's a decent amount of literature in the fighting game space and a bunch of other genres overlap as well.

I remain pretty skeptical of ML being a primary tool here since a lot of Yomi is psychological and not necessarily an optimization problem.

Years back I worked on a "configure a dog" educational interactive. IIRC, dogs share a common hunting sequence of behaviors, and some of their domesticated diversity stems from being able to genetically adjust the strength of those behaviors. So a retriever for instance, has the "bite hard" and "shake it" dialed down, and the "carry it home" dialed up.

Sounds like it wasn't about the ticket, but about not accepting abuse. Likely worth it and the right reaction.

That's what I don't get in these abusive industries: Just because someone is higher up in a hierarchy he is not strong, he is not untouchable, the police is not on his side. Those pencil pusher bullies get in the face of the wrong young new intern and they get trashed. Should happen all the time. Should end such behaviour very fast. But doesn't. Seems like it's baked into recruiting, only hiring people that wouldn't even think about defending themselves.

1. Central planning might work today but not in a democracy. Keeping the economy at arms length distance from politics seems essential in a liberal democracy. Pretty sure Amazon wouldn’t be as successful if the leadership was elected by employees / customers / stakeholders.

2. The problem with autocracy + central planning is when things go wrong or the world changes in some important way (or people’s preferences change). No way to correct or replace the administration without revolution.

So, I’d still bet on liberal democracy and capitalism over the long term.

Economies of scale?
Is there any way to exploit parallelism in the customer vs employee queries then merge the results?

My intuition would have been to tackle this in 3 steps with a temp table (create temp table with employee markouts, append customer meals, select ... order by). I can see the overheads of my solution but I’m wondering if i could beat the Union all approach somehow. My temp table wouldn’t benefit from an index so I’m left wondering about parallelism.

If i remember correctly though, there’s no concurrency, and therefore no opportunity for parallelism for transactions in the same session.
Really, the best way to solve this is likely with FPGAs, not ASICs. If you're not using an original chip, does it really matter if it's an FPGA or not? Already, most of these reproduction PCB projects, including this one, end up using PLDs to replace hard-to-find specialied ICs (and even those PLDs are at risk of EOL). So it's not like they're using 100% original chips, anyway.

I understand the urge, but unless the cost of ASIC manufacturing drops dramatically, I don't see this as being practical for small runs like hobby reproduction boards.

Edit: I forgot to add: this is impressive work, nonetheless!

For some reason I find "only have 500megs of RAM" very amusing. Many/most modern laptops only have 8-16 times more RAM than that. I'm genuinely curious what problems you're working where that "limitation" is your bottleneck and not the processor speed (which at 1GHz is still pretty speedy for many/most tasks other than pure computation (e.g. machine learning training and processing large datasets for statistics)). I'm also assuming you're treating it as a dedicated tool, and not doing tasks while running a DE and web browser at the same time.

The transmitting side should be able to compare this version to the ground truth and if it diverges too much then it tells the receiving end to fall back to “normal” blocky compression artifacts instead of keeping the eerie one.

So long as the face-specific-compression faithfully reproduces the ground truth, it should be fine. In a way it’s similar to voice-specific compression for audio. Knowing what’s transmitted (a head) is information that should be used.

I’d love to see one of these algorithms used for other context specific areas where there is much less to “lose”: sports. Compressed streams of a grass pitch with players running after a ball has horrible compression artifacts when the camera pans at low bitrates. But the receiver should know what the pitch looks like where the camera pans - it’s static, and we had it on screen a moment ago!

> tautological

It's not tautological to say that you get 100% or 0%. You can't effectively split the population. It almost happened with ethereum, and has never really come close with bitcoin.

It's also not tautological to say "The thing called 'bitcoin' at the time has always been the winner. The thing called 'ethereum' at the time has always been the winner."

> not the correct use of a well-defined technical term

If you want to be really technical, every single update is a fork, and every single time two blocks are mined at the same time it's a fork.

I would rather go with what people were actually calling 'bitcoin' or 'ethereum' the day after any forking of the chain. I don't think it's reasonable to say that we're on a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork of bitcoin or ethereum.

> ETC is not a fork and it wasn't 'made' by anyone. It is just the original, unaltered transaction history of Ethereum. ETH was 'made' by introducing a hard-fork and altering parts of Ethereum's transaction history, diverging from prior consensus rules.

All the blocks after the divergence point were made by someone. The original transaction history is part of both.

And I would say that using consensus to change the consensus rules is part of the consensus rules.

I wonder how much cross-pollination there is between the discrete GPU space and AMD's iGPUs.

They're probably selling a dozen Playstation or Xbox APUs for every one 6700XT dGPU. But by building a better dGPU today, they have the technology to make a better APU when it comes to bid out the PS6 and Xbox Series Q, or for the next generation Ryzen "G" APUs.

And I have yet to see anyone in the US government recommend an actual filtering mask, which somewhat boggles my mind. Real FDA-approved KN95 masks have been available fairly cheaply for 6+ months, although ensuring you're not getting counterfeits can be an issue. I switched several months ago and couldn't believe how much better they were. It was obvious that air was actually going through the mask rather than around the sides and I had fewer issues with my glasses fogging and humidity buildup. Add to that the fact that it's actually filtering out 95% of any harmful particles and it's a no-brainer.

It's hard to get a good solution on mobile.

Seems most solutions either expand like accordion, which makes accidental clicks (especially when they animate for like 1s). Same issue as an 'overlay' z-indexed over the navigation. Simply expanding can take up the whole screen, i've seen a lot of 'side navigation' that expands right, or a hamburger that goes full screen. I don't like those...

And it seems less accessible for screen readers if it's not actual selects? Maybe not with good aria hints
