Here's your mistake. Now you have your product engineers screening a thousand resumes every week and doing endless phone interviews.

Yes, HR is bad at hiring engineers. Nonetheless hiring engineers is a lot of work, and engineering departments need someone somewhere to take that load.

The solution is hard[1], but at the end of the day needs to be something much closer to "better HR" than "don't involve HR".

[1] And something very few large companies have cracked. Small outfits can usually get by with networking via their existing staff, but that doesn't scale well and leads to feedback effects like toxic monocultures.
> It’s already proven that women, minorities and others on the outside don’t apply when they don’t meet these qualifications.

On the other hand, taking jobs that are a bit outside your comfort zone is how you grow. I agree that more realistic requirements would helps (especially if they're called "minimum"), but you also have to teach to people how to be ambitious.

IANAL as well and what I've heard fits well with what you wrote. I have one anecdote that kind of suits the topic: Florian Effenberger, one of the founders of The Document Foundation" also does Open Source Cooking as a side project. It was set up as an e. V. but not tax exempt. A couple of years ago I've heard Florian say in person that he avoided making it tax exempt because it would be such a hassle. Of course Open Source Cooking is only a small endeavor and that might have played a role in his decision.

I'm not really sure what the overall conclusion is except that choosing a suitable legal structure is not easy.

As the original commenter said, you have the capability for abstract learning, thought, zand generalized learning, which the "AI" lacks.

It is not uncommon to ask person to "explain in your own words..." - as in use your own abstract internal representation of the learned concepts to demonstrate that you have developed such an abstract internal concept of the topic, and are not merely regurgitating re-disorganized input snippets.

If you don't understand the difference...

edit: That said, if you can create a computer capable of such different abstract thought, congratulations, you've solved the problem of Artificial General Intelligence, and will be welcomed to the Trillionaires' Club

>Also, today is easier than ever to connect to the internet and host your own website, why doesn't more people go down this route? Security? Bandwidth? Maintenance?

For the same reason most people don't want to construct a kit-car to be able to drive to the store, or print and bind every book they want to read - people want to use the web to consume media and publish content without first building the infrastructure of a website by hand.

Also because social media has a powerful network effect. Sure, you could publish a Wordpress blog on your own server, but no one is going to read it unless that blog is linked somewhere, and as easy as Wordpress is, it still needs administration. It's easier to find and curate an audience on social media because that's what those platforms are designed to do, and easier still to just publish from social media or a hosted service like Medium.

Fine, you want to WFH? Awesome, expect a pay cut. Part of a modern white-collar salary has some expectations built into it, like the fact that people need to be compensated for the inconveniences of leaving their homes and coming to the office and therefore having to pay for things like childcare, cars, clothing, parking, etc.

Don't have those expenses anymore? Then why should I compensate you the same as if you did?

Why should I pay you more than some other remote worker in India, who'll work for a third of your pay?

I recently listened to an old episode[1] of the “Reply All” podcast from 2018 after someone on HN recommended it. It’s a crazy story about Foxconn opening a plant in a small town in Wisconsin and the NDAs with local politicians made it difficult/borderline impossible for residents to push back because they didn’t even know what was happening until it was already approved.

And how is that related to human activities? Such events have been going on since earth's inception. The problem is that people try to add the "human factor" subtext on without directly mentioning it, and that's where the problem is. There is no definitive proof that human activities are increasing/decreasing earth's own natural processes. That's it.
The market is neither that local nor that global. I don't mean this in a "threat from China" way, but if US companies just look at the offerings of other US companies and the US labor market they might get blindsided again when it turns out that there's good money, good programmers and good designers in Europe and China as well, as it happened with TikTok.
Those sound like good things. I live in a place where non of those demands are considered acceptable (or noone bothers to coordinate) and family-home suburbs look absurd. Every house is from another world, like the neighbors didn't exist. Color, style, fence, roof: everything is as random as you can imagine. It's a continuous spatial conflict.
This comment made me very very mad, very strongly strongly to the point I made this account even though I don't usually comment on HN.

You must be one example of somebody that live mostly in peaceful democratic society. You've never seen actual blood, war, limbs, raped girls, beheaded people? heads rolling and kicked down like a soccer ball? girls with vaginas stuck by sticks? I've seen a few, and it happened in a city, in.a.fucking.riot You wanna know how many people died? 1500 fucking people you fucking idiot. In a big fucking city. The army had to come down to quell the riot.

BLM can protest peacefully, otherwise we normal people don't give a fuck about their message is. There are many people out there than just Black people. A lot of immigrants for example, don't generally give a shit about what happened this past 2 years about BLM this BLM that. They just want their stores not to be burned by these uncivilized people. No they don't have fucking insurance you fucking idiot.

BLM can protest peacefully, otherwise be prepared to be gunned down. I don't care who he/she/it. Travel my property, burn my property, get ready for a lead in the head.

I am not a Trump supporter, and as a matter of fact a Democrat, voted for Biden. but I'll lick Trump's boots and vote hard hard hard right if it means that I can prevent of defunding the police and keep the order.

The politicians that do not condemn the riot and supporting defunding the police are simply out there for political points. They need to go down!
> This is such a great experience. I wish I could study at CMU on-site and experience all this. I'm an old horse still kicking :P

In truth, it was a great experience, it was just also the worst experience of my life. It's a little tough to explain but, in the end it comes down to personal expectations and mental health.

I often miss the work itself. A single problem set at CMU felt more interesting, impactful, and substantial than a multiple months-long project at a corporate job. Professors typically give you starter code that's ready to start working on "the meat" of the problem - here's a C++ project that loads a 3d geometry and renders it but the key function in rendering isn't implemented. Now go write a raytracer. Now go write a typechecker. Implement "malloc". Take this efficient sequential algorithm and design a parallel version that's provably more efficient, and implement it in functional code.

The big problem is that the pacing was brutal and inescapable and for many - such as myself - failure was not an option. When you don't get to sleep on sundays, wednesdays, and thursdays, every single week for a few months, all while dealing with the anxiety that maybe doing your best still isn't going to be good enough, you start to daydream that maybe you'll get hit by a car finally have an excuse to take a break.
You can give a range - eg 3 to 5 months.
I'd assume this: In the same way as you can not forbid a human to learn concepts from your code, you can not forbid an automated system to learn concepts from your code, regardless the license. Also, if you would it would make your code non-free.

At least as long as the system really learns concepts. If it just copy & pastes code, then that's a different story (same as with humans).

It does not. The "partitioning" is only a mental model.

This logical partitioning is caused by the physical hardware load and store "queues" [1](and possibly the reorder buffer) which are distinct from the normal coherent caches, and most importantly, are not coherent, causing the illusion of dynamic memory partitioning.

Note that the caches themselves do not lead to visible partitioning. On most architectures, even those with very relaxed MM, normal caches are always coherent.

While the queue are indeed some sort of memory, I believe (but I'm not an hardware designer) that are implemented differently from static (like cache) and dynamic RAM. Possibly they are just a bunch of microarchitectural hardware register.

[1] the term queue is a misnomer because on relaxed MM architectures they are not FIFO.
It should be copied and paraphrased, but respecting the license. This means, among other things, crediting the author.

This is a feature not a bug.

They don't want people who can't writing a 30k check doing development.

They want the old elderly couple of limited means to move out and make way for some yuppie who will pay big taxes, not slap a bottom dollar ADU up so that they can be cared for by live-in relatives.
I don't think they can parse all of it in real time, but storing it with basic metadata (like IP addresses) is another matter. Then it can be selectively extracted and parsed when needed.

Yes. Possibly the most devastating effect of climate change is going to be the social/political impacts of the upcoming climate refugee crisis. If you think your right-leaning neighbors are unhappy about immigrants now...

Honestly if the minimum wage was increased appropriately we wouldn't have to bother with tipping at all.

If John Carmack doesn't meet the standards, then you probably shouldn't worry about 'lowering them.' As if making tech more accessible requires lowering any standards, anyways.
> The issue is the other party vilifying/putting at risk thousands of jobs currently in the legacy fossil fuel industries

That’s propaganda. The industry is vilified, for good reasons as well as bad ones. The people working in this industry are just pawns in a politics game. There aren’t that many of them in the first place, and there are just as many jobs to be had in non-fossil fuel energy production.

> not to mention essentially raising prices on everything for the regular person.

What do you think will happen to the prices of everything once climate change seriously perturbs agriculture, and once you need either heating or cooling all year round just to live in most of the world? Where will the money come from when we’ll need to build flood walls and levees, and all the infrastructure near the coasts will need to be overhauled. Or when water runs out in the American West? Climate change is coming to cost orders of magnitude more than preventing it.

Fishtown Analytics Rebrands as Dbt Labs; Closes $150M
The issue is that people in the industry have been trained to know that minimum requirements are bullshit and apply anyway. So if women and minorites are underrepresented behind the gate, and see the gate as far more impenetrable than the groups which have already made it in, then setting these requirements aspirationally is keeping them out.

John Carmack is arguably one of the most qualified people in the industry for this role, and he doesn't meet the requirements.

So it's not the case that there's piles of white men who _do_ meet the requirements that get it instead, and we just need to help minorities get to that level, it's that there's piles of white men that recognise the requirements are nonsense, so apply and get it without meeting them. Setting the requirements to what the recruiters actually require isn't lowering the bar as a result.

"destroy morale for the remaining"

This depends on how you define morale. Morale can be thought of as the willingness of people to make difficult sacrifices to maintain community ties, in the sense offered by the essay "Why Strict Churches Are Strong":

https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/230409?jou....

In that essay, they make the point that there are no freeloaders in a strict church, and that is what draws people to strict churches. Strict churches will be smaller than non-strict churches, because non-strict churches allow a lot of members who do not participate very much in the life of the church. In a strict church, people obey a large number of rules, and make substantial sacrifices, to belong to a group in which everyone else is also making sacrifices, and therefore, in a sense, everyone earns their place. And by most definitions of "morale" strict churches have better morale than non-strict churches.

It's the same with any organization, including the military, and including corporations. Asking people to show up to an office means you're asking people to make a sacrifice to continue being a member in good standing. Such a request can weed some people out, but that is the point of the request. For those who are left behind, morale is higher because everyone is known to be making that sacrifice.

There are several qualifiers that are normally added at this point, raising questions over the fairness of the rules, the fairness of the enforcement, and the group perception of the fairness of the enforcement. I'm not going to write all of that out in a comment on Hacker News, I think the essay I linked to above covers most of the details.
I've been fascinated in the effects of the solar cycle on our atmosphere and climate, but electroverse is a fringe source and, from my understanding, a denier of man-made climate change. Half of the article you linked to is talking about the elites and mainstream media suppressing/ignoring information.
I see notes as a permanent "brain extension" to support superior performance over the long term, not as a "hack" to study for a test.

9 months ago I got a "free" inkjet printer and realized it wasn't worth buying ink for it if I printed something every six months because it would just dry out. So I challenged myself to print something (artistic) every day, started going to stores that are "going out of business" so I could buy the cash registers to get the thermal printers, etc.

A simple print has about 20 steps involved in its creation, installation, etc. If I get 3 of those wrong and 17 right I notice the difference, even if other people don't. I am always feeding back my experience into my practice (I thought 3M double-sided tape was the bee's knees until it got humid and my prints started pulling off the walls)

So I can get consistently good results without wearing myself out I've written myself a book with step-by-step instructions.

It's not Western though. You're right in that it generally doesn't work, but it's well known to only work in specific circumstances. Yes it's part of a political strategy, but the point of it is to demonstrate dignity, and given a state that is susceptible to shame, that greatly aids in the empowerment of blocs within the state to enact change.

In retrospect, yes, it's fallacious thinking from the protesters if they thought they could successfully press for change just via the protests. But that's in retrospect, previously it might have worked. But as you suggest, the Chinese state is in a position where it doesn't have to care and will happily exterminate the protests. Only answer then is violence, but in this situation the only actors capable of that are other states. In which case, peaceful protest, not fighting back seems the logically correct thing to do -- the protestors require the moral high ground and to focus attention on the issue, which they did very successfully. Whether that has much effect -- probably not, China is ridiculously powerful, but they couldn't do much more (I mean, taken to Gandhian logical extremes, recognition of the failure of the non-violent protest should have been followed mass suicide of all the protesters, which is grotesque but hey, that's Gandhi for you).
