Sure, but managing that risk is still solely on the woman's side, so it's understandable that a cold message would intrinsically have lower value than it might to a man.
How does this differ from what Signal offers?
> There is a (high) probability users will close the tab after waiting for over a minute for MBs of JS to download and parse.

I'm not sure what leads you to believe that a SPA requires "MBs of JS" to work. I've worked on a popular SPA deployed to multiple regions and with tons of localization data, and the total payload stayed well below 1MB. Plenty of dynamic HTML content, specially images, require far more than that.

In fact, this very discussion on HN, a very spartan dynamic HTML page, currently requires over 250kB as it dumps all the threads regardless of whether you read them or not. As a contrast, Reddit's frontpage takes 750kB.
FYI - Google hires 10,000+ search result raters [1], who are contractors, to evaluate search result quality.

In an ideal world, you build a thing, and it's done. It runs automatically and prints out money.

In reality, you still need human labors to do manual tasks, even in tech industry.

The side effects may be horrible but almost certainly not in the naive way you imagine.
Yeh I've thought about that also that the earth has so many elements, while the Hayabusa2 asteroid is mostly carbon star-dust. However besides oxygen we are made mostly of carbon. And for example the amount of gold on earth is likely the same rate all across the universe give or take (it's not super common).
there is a smaller niche market. SEMrush is a tool used in the digital marketing industry that is now public and has a multi-billion dollar market cap. It originally started as a search engine. When they didnt gain traction they used the tech to monitor Google and interface it for customers who are tracking their performance in search results (and much more).
Quite literally, I'm sure!
Mux (YC W16) | SF, London, REMOTE (US, CAN, and UK) | Full-Time | Elixir, Golang, TypeScript/React | https://mux.com/jobs

Happy new year! Mux is (still, yes, in 2022) how developers build online video.

With Mux Video, developers gain access to a powerful API for video streaming--think Stripe for Video. A dev doesn't need to have strong feelings about ffmpeg settings to get started; teams can focus on building your actual product instead of bolting together a video pipeline. And with Mux Data, developers realize incredible insights into how their videos perform from platform to platform, place to place, and user to user.

I'm Ed, and I'm an engineer on the DevEx team here. This is a pretty good place to be, IMO. The team here is sharp, there is a real and concerted focus on not just competence but on the human side of things; one of the company's core values is "be human" and I thought it was marketing stuff 'til I joined and learned to my surprise that it is emphatically not. Also? Legit, the best onboarding experience I've ever had. During a pandemic, no less.

The tech stack actually manages to balance cool with useful, too. It's a multi-cloud environment running Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, with Elixir, Golang, and some NodeJS (some JS, mostly TypeScript), plus React and TypeScript for all the usual bells and whistles.

Mux is a good place to be and if video is your bag, or even just sounds interesting, you should check us out. At the moment our hiring is limited to the US, Canada, and the UK, but the company is fully remote--I'm in Boston and I don't feel disconnected compared to the SF folks. Feel free to head on over to https://mux.com/jobs and check out our openings; we run a pretty standard interview-loop process and I don't feel like we waste candidates' time. Even if you don't see an immediate spot that clicks with you, feel free to reach out anyway; we have a way to find room for amazing people.
>" The core problem, I guess, is that search engines view all their results as ads. That’s why they got into the ad business in the first place. "

This seems a bit overly cynical. Some search engines only served ads, but they're long gone. The survivors are those who dedicated themselves to finding links which were responsive to people's search intent. They seem to have gotten into ads because it was the best business model in this market.
> This is one of the major antitrust complaints against Google in the EU.

The complaints I've read are from exactly the kind of generated content farms people are complaining about in this thread.
> And no one is going to pay for a search engine, it's been tried and has failed.

Always curious about things like this. I certainly would pay for this; it sounds like many other people here as well would. I'm curious if the constraint is that there aren't enough people to actually pay for the investment required for the service, or if there aren't enough people willing to pay to meet the standard VC notions of success. We seem to have a problem with building and supplying services for niche (read: "not expressable as an integer percent of the world's population") customer bases, and I'm never sure if that's a business problem or a cultural problem.
Developing common standards/protocols for everything required for a quality review vs. a "candy" or shallow hype review would be a good place to start, making it culture that everyone educated knows about to follow - and then they can only go to or support reviewers who list what testing protocols they follow.

Industry has already done this with the "food pyramid" - influencing, capturing governments to make the food pyramid more based on economic reasons and much less on science - with the government putting it out and distributing it into schooling of different levels, giving it an unearned or undeserved authority which then people blindly trust/follow - not understanding that or when systems and their output or oversight have been captured; why the pandemic bringing the classroom home via Zoom, so parents could see/hear the learning material has outraged many parents - an example I've heard, where white children are being taught to feel guilty about their 'white privilege', or parents being upset their children are being taught at a very young age that they can decide what gender they are; I'm not stating what I believe here, just giving examples I've heard of.

This capturing of the government is why I think ultimately the government should be developing and maintaining such platforms, as per law, and requiring individuals and organizations to in real-time add and update their data (simply example being restaurants, their menu's ingredients, their open hours) - in part to de-risk the government having an unnatural power as "the single arbiter" of truth, perhaps instead to de-risk capture that the government funds multiple independent organizations at the federal level - that States can decide which ones they follow, if necessary, part of why States exist - to de-risk the potential capture of the Federal umbrella; however the system is in an imbalanced, broken, captured state - with the duopoly evolving to be more extreme lead or formed by the establishment, with a broken voting system in arguably most countries of the world, and mainstream media being captured by for-profit industrial complexes that fund MSM through ad revenues - which further develop or mould our culture and narratives/talking points and beliefs, whether truthful or not; without fixing these the other platforms/systems excelling won't be possible.
What part of Africa are you from?

My wife and I are heading to Africa in a week. This will be our fifth visit. We've been to 18 African countries. This time we are going (back) to South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania. Absolutely love it there, but I try to remain mindful of the fact that it is often easier to love a place as a tourist than as a resident.
At the time that was the ideal outcome, a young woman from that time and place would consider it a disaster if they weren't married by age 25.
This would be possible with something like Tasker on Android - although no batteries included, and you'd have to supply much of the data yourself. The request is a pretty big scope for a managed solution - weather might be relatively easy, while pulling in beach or school closures for arbitrary locations would be near impossible (is there an API already that tracks these?)
Right now, I use BOWWE (https://bowwe.com/en). It's a low/no code website builder. For now, I'm happy with it. I'm in the process of developing a website, and everything goes smoothly. They also improve this builder all the time, so I hope they will bring more interesting features in the future.
These (online browser based) desktop environments work best when you hit F11 and go fullscreen, stripping the browser chrome away.

Either the user does that, or we signal to the browser that this is a 'fullscreen only app and you must run it fullscreen' but that would be bad user experience, since most users would struggle to exit it.

I saw it on HN 4 years ago:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14171749
Yes, that's correct. As long as the switch isn't horribly non-compliant (such as EMI/EMC issues), and whatever you're plugging the other end into has a properly designed port with proper grounding, there's basically no way it will affect an audio system.

The product is complete pseudoscience, and looking at the site of the company that makes it, almost all their other stuff seems to be based on nonsense too.
Also in Argentina. It's a settler/imperialist pattern.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquista_del_Desierto

(Not in Israel, though; when I say "settler/imperialist" I suspect some people might draw that conclusion. Israelis don't waste the land or practice these kinds of short-sighted farming techniques.)
I think one of the fundamental things that make search work well about 1-2 decades ago was that web sites would link to each other, and that those links could vaguely correlate with reputation. There were link spammers, but there was actually a some decent organic content as well.

What's happened since then is that almost all the normal "people linking to things they like" has gone behind walled gardens (chiefly Facebook), and vast majority of what remains on the open web are SEO spammers.
Thats what I was thinking, but even so, it is a weird product.

First, Ethernet does not have a ground wire; and ground is the biggest source of electrical interference for analog audio.

Second, the Ethernet switch is a really weird place to try an address this. If this is your concern, I assume that you hold every peripheral that plugs into your computer to at least the same standards (especially almost everything else you might plug into it, as most connections attach directly to ground). You also need to deal with all of the noise that components inside your computer can generate.

If electrical interference in your analog components are a concern, you are better off spending your money closer to the analog circuit. An electrically isolated sound card with a digital input 100% solves any concern about analog noise in the rest of the system [0].

[0] Unless the noise is so bad that it interferes with the digital computation.
It’s interesting that humans have decided to allow violence to be acceptable and commonplace, celebrated even, while sex is the thing that is taboo. Seems backwards, especially when you consider consent.
To be clear, I’m completely fully aware that bullshit and bad stuff really does happen. There are bad managers, and there are bad companies. There are places where interviews are a true waste of time, or worse where employment is a waste of time. The manager/company in the story sounds like it might be one of them.

That much has always been true. But I’m asking for more than anecdotes, I’m asking for higher level and broader evidence that people who are capable and qualified are failing to get a job anywhere for long periods of time. At least, that what I assume must be meant by “hiring is broken”.

Alternatively, just a better explanation for what broken means and how to fix it. I haven’t yet seen a very strong argument & evidence for hiring in general being “broken”, so while I’m obviously a little skeptical, I’m also curious to question my own assumptions and to be shown why and how hiring in general isn’t working for a large group of people. Having to do several interviews before getting a job was always expected. Is it worse than that across the board?
I remember the centering as a problem, but never thought about exploiting it in a game. I am very disappointed with me from 20 years ago.
And Brainfuck does exactly the same thing as any other programming language.
Explain to HR that you paid attention to the detail that the boss was a psychopath.
Yes you can get pretty far just signing stuff but without general availability of those attestations you are quite limited.

That's a reasonable way to describe programmable blockchain - availability for these attestations.
Building Designcember
Fun fact, when filming the fire in Sacrifice, the camera failed. Tarkovsky had them build the building again, and burn it again, this time filming with two cameras.

The crew wanted to work with a model but that didn’t happen. They built the life-size structure and burned it.
I grew up hearing these stories in the '80s. But I also heard that the research papers published under her name were actually quite good, as in true advances in polymer research. Can anyone with domain knowledge comment?

One organization that posts regularly to HN would seem to stipulate that one should always use "Afrika" in lieu of "Africa".
prioritizes is correct, but in some ways it's not the best descriptor.

Google's algos, while advanced, still rely a ton on text to actually tell what the page is about. They need it.

If they just relied on other factors (title, links, website, etc.) they would end up with worse results for users. Im sure they've tested it.

Google's core algo in a lot of ways is much simpler than people think (in other ways of course it's very complex).

Google’s job is to serve its customers, and it does that really, really well.

The problems being discussed today (and yesterday in the similar thread) come from the fact that for Google user != customer.

When you have incentives that are misaligned like this, you can only go so far! We seem to have reached that point with Google, where there is not much more that can be done on the search experience front without jeopardizing customer experience (ad revenue).

Disclosure: I’m working on a paid search engine to solve this problem on a fundamental level, by aligning the incentives and making user also the customer so we can best serve them and their needs. It is called Kagi and is currently in closed beta accepting beta-testers.

Good for them.

Are they currently here on HN, which was around 98 percent male when I originally joined more than twelve years ago? Perhaps they would be so kind as to participate in this discussion, speak for themselves and clue me as to how to get shit done as a woman in a man's world.

Please and thank you. Much obliged.
Is discoflip open source? If so, would love to support and contribute!
should read "... at fraction of the _comparable_ x86 Price" :-D
How often is gpt3 retrained? While I agree the search engine has new competition, googlebot crawling the web and reindexing Google constantly is the remaining differentiator.

Another aspect where I know gpt3 underperforms is people search. Ask gpt3 about you and it will only reply with the most famous person that has your name.
The last time that was possible at least in Palo Alto was before they split from what is now known as East Palo Alto. Even if all the renters voted, they only represent 33% of Palo Alto's population; so no it is NOT their fault.

Quick background on the project: I'm a full time programmer and I love making rap music. I see a lot of humor in the profession/industry, and thought it would be fun to combine the two.
> It's their money, what would you rather they spent it on?

Honestly because in many cases the people that blow their money on this stuff are people like our parents. This stuff is a scam that sucks in good people who aren't the most financially responsible. They rack up a ton of debt on their credit cards thinking they are buying good stuff. And it screws them over and causes grief in the family.

I mean yes, everybody in the room is an adult, but the fallout from a family member who is stupidly spending their retirement money on crap like this affects everybody else.
The clouds made my top spec 2019 16" MBP completely unresponsive on Safari. Regardless of how well the library may or may not be written, it's kinda scary a web page can do that. I'm talking about the entire OS becoming unresponsive and 2 secs between UI frame refreshes …
> It's possible to gradually resize a hash table to prevent spikes.

Can you provide details? The only trick I know of is the same one as with arrays where you overallocate. That still doesn't get rid of spikes and the C++ STL and Wikipedia both list worst case time as O(size of hash table). It's also not enough to just have capacity - often times hash tables will abort finding a slot if gone far enough in favor of resizing & rehashing the table.

> For collisions, if you use a good hash then you can adjust your load factor and chaining strategy to make sure it's never a problem. Where 'never' is 'less likely than the computer spontaneously self-destructing'.

Yes, but the vast majority of implementations don't do a good job here. Howard's "Types Don't Know #"[1] paper is extremely well thought out and I have yet to see this adopted (except for Rust - Rust has a good track record of adopting good ideas like this and having the benefit of coming late to the game). I think it's safe to say that most hash tables don't have good worst case times (which when combined with resizing behavior of insertions, means you have super-linear worst case times on insertion).
