Cmd-F (or Ctrl-F) for meetings.

You'll see the pitch "almost no meetings!" as a benefit in hiring posts. People are drowning in meetings. The truth though is that meetings are a vital part of how a company communicates with itself. Meetings can suck - they happen with context buried in various email chains, sometimes just a mysterious calendar invite. Worse, when they're done, all that high bandwidth communication is usually lost, and the decisions half-forgotten a week later. It's hard to do meetings well!

Clearword joins your calls, automatically creates summaries of your meetings and organizes them in a searchable video library.

We're a small team (five of us so far) and you'll be joining a group of experienced people who know how to run a company, design products and write software. There's a lot of flexibility and depth in the problem we're trying to solve.

On the software side, we're using Python for most of the backend and React + Tailwind for the frontend. ML is tensorflow, pytorch and transformers.

Roles we are hiring for: Community & Customer Success Manager, Head of Marketing, Full-stack Engineer, ML Engineer, UX Designer

Would appreciate if you could apply through https://clearword.com/careers as that means it'll definitely be seen instead of accidentally disappearing into a spam vortex! Salary ranges are in the listings.

Thanks for reading!
Well yeah, it's hardly revelatory that having money puts you in a better position than not having money. The scale of privilege is obviously going to favor people who can invest in risk rather than rely on risk.
The Arctic is thawing very rapidly. Thawing permafrost is loaded with organic matter that is generating methane (several factors greater impact than CO2) and spewing it into the atmosphere. As more methane is released the temperature increases faster, spurring an exponential spiral that is greatly outrunning the previous "doomsday" models.

These sea level rising and other global weather impacts are no longer predictions. It is unfolding very fast. The artic circle is literally a giant cow fart from hell right now.
Comparing what you wrote with the quotes below, I get the sense that you and Pielke Jr., might have different opinions on climate change:

Pielke has also written extensively on climate change policy. He has written that he accepts the IPCC view of the underlying science, stating, "The IPCC has concluded that greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activity are an important driver of changes in climate. And on this basis alone I am personally convinced that it makes sense to take action to limit greenhouse gas emissions.”[10] He also states that, "Any conceivable emissions reductions policies, even if successful, cannot have a perceptible impact on the climate for many decades", and from this he concludes that, "In coming decades the only policies that can effectively be used to manage the immediate effects of climate variability and change will be adaptive."[11][12]

From his wikipedia page

> a Finland like solution, ceading territory

Sure, you can advocate using the Winter War robbery of East Carelia and Vyborg from the independent democratic nation of Finland as a model if you want. Two questions about that, though:

1) How much did that help? Didn't exactly sate the Soviet Union's appetite for acquisition and oppression of satellite states, did it?

2) Advocating an appeasement model seems (at least to me) to imply endorsement not only of the temporary calm it might buy, but also of its moral and ethical justice. Care to expound on how you do that?
Perhaps it is magical thinking.

At the same time, physical reality doesn’t seem to care much about our opinions, thoughts and feelings about any of this subject. We can continue to live our lives with the hope of technology coming to our rescue, we can go on living the way we do without considering making changes, and the natural world around us will continue down the path that it’s on, utterly unconcerned with our desires.
This one will probably be going for a hundred years or more. I don’t see how anyone will ever collect this money. At least one person wrote a script that’ll make sure they’re online and it’ll probably never go down.
I agree. Telling the world to consume less while the population continues to grow doesnt work. Especially when the majority of pollution comes from corporations who have a financial incentive to continuing operating the same way.
So next time they organise a soft-fork and have their crony exchanges insist on allocating the ticker to their soft-fork for whatever, that's not going to consist of a "failure of trust" on their part at all?

And before you claim it couldn't happen, keep in mind they already did it to keep the chain locked to maximum of 7 tx per second. If you can convince people to let that slide, you can convince them to let near anything slide. It fundamentally makes the currency useless.

For all Ethereum's flaws, at least people understand the limitations of their trust model and their processes. The mythology built around BTC is completely unhinged from reality and people have no clue how inaccurate it is when compared with the facts on the ground.
Qualcomm | Austin, TX, USA | Full Time | ONSITE | QEMU

https://qualcomm.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External/job/Se...

My team is looking to hire 2 software developers to help us design and extend QEMU support [1] for the Hexagon DSP [2]. We're looking for candidates who have experience coding in C, C++ or Rust* and who aren't afraid of rolling up their sleeves and poring over disassembled code. This particular architecture is a bit more challenging than most, because it's a bit unique. It's a VLIW [3], so it's a great opportunity to learn about an interesting architecture. Millions of Hexagon DSPs are out there, most are found in Snapdragon SoCs for Android phones and more!

We collaborate a lot with Open Source communities like QEMU, LLVM [4], the Linux kernel [5], and more.

If you have any questions, you can contact me directly (email addr is in my HN user link). If you like the idea of working on stuff like open source toolchains but QEMU is not your thing, let me know. There’s other opportunities too.

We are open to making this position r_emote for the right candidate.

* Rust experience may serve the role well but we don’t (yet) have any product software in Rust.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not alarming".

I mean, the world itself will be fine. On the other hand, 11,000 years ago half of the UK was under a permement ice sheet. If we end up at a similar extreme to 11,000 years ago compared to now (probably in the other direction) large amounts of the world will become uninhabitable.

Mods is part of it, but the biggest reason my 12 year-old insisted on switching to Java is because he says redstone behaves differently.

He'd try to recreate a cool build he saw in a book or online, and get super frustrated when it just wouldn't work in Bedrock edition.

However, I feel that also highlights the importance of network effects. There's a huge amount of content in guide books, wikis, online tutorials, YouTube channels, etc., and the majority of it is targeted at Java edition.
I’d be keen, except I have no time to tinker. As far as I can tell, PinePhones are still very much DIY, might work etc.
Why do all these metaverse projects look like games from 1998? We've had way better graphics than this for a long time.
Experimented with this on YouTube. My recommendations are exactly the things that I watched.

In fact I got kind of bored because I wanted something new and different, instead I just get more videos of exactly the same type.

If I stop watching a certain kind of video it eventually stops showing up on the recommendations.
Thank you very much; I'm still very curious about that book!

I will definitely read this.
I too read the entire request, it’s unnecessarily rude of you to suggest otherwise.

Shutting down root nameservers inside Russia would not impact Russian citizens ability to resolve domain names.
I too have come to think that no simple metrics will ever replace the need for a competent manager who can use intangible, subjective context to evaluate their team. I think that even if you get some metrics that work well initially, the system will change such that the metric becomes the goal and the metrics then become much less effective.
The point I was making was that the physical effect they claim is occurring makes no sense, and would have glaringly shown up elsewhere, decades ago, if it actually was real.
That doesn't make sense linguistically.

Can you provide a falsifiable definition of "turtles"?
What if I told you...

We're in one right now?
No I agree you can't prove they are distributed, but I don't see the threat as realistic. I also think the only reason for someone to take a controlling stake and attack the network would be to kill Ethereum and make everyone lose confidence. Bitcoin is susceptible to the exact same attack, someone could build or buy enough mining power and cause a huge reorg to wreak havok.

I take your point that Bitcoin could more easily recover from this, as new mining hardware can be built by honest participants unlike tokens, but it would take too long. It would be too late to restore confidence at that point anyway.

I think both networks are resistant to the attack for the same reason, it's just too expensive. You could argue that Ethereum is actually more resistant, as buying tokens drives up the price. Bitcoin has the opposite economies of scale. The more chips an attacker produces, the better they get at making them, and the more cheaply they can amass hashrate.
Too much Yang.
So russian airstrikes guided by google maps? That is very stupid to think.
> because productivity and contentment are linked, it's feasible that satisfaction can operate as a leading indicator of productivity; a drop in satisfaction and engagement could foreshadow impending burnout and lower output.

Great review of the hazards involved in quantifying developer productivity - the correlation above has been true everywhere I’ve ever worked.

If the company you’re working for:

- is not investing in improving the developer experience

- is not listening to developer complaints about slow, tedious, or error prone processes

- is perpetually pushing tech debt onto a backlog that only grows

Then chances are you work for a company whose leadership does not understand and value software engineering. They likely see it as a cost center, and they likely incentivize managers by rewarding initial delivery of projects, at the expense of maintainability and developer sanity.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, I just had to put it out there for all the young engineers. Don’t waste too much of your life and happiness trying to patch those sinking ships.
>I'm not sure "former Chief Scientist for the BP petroleum company" is the person I would go to for "a balanced take" on climate change.

The IPCC is funded and promoted by the UN because their conclusions align with the UN's agenda. It's very hard to distinguish the legitimate environmental concerns from political and ideological ulterior motivations.
React wasn't exactly innovative as such so much as it was a very carefully designed (I don't mean they didn't make mistakes, mind, only that they clearly put effort into making new and exciting mistakes) implementation of the model that successfully broke into the mainstream.

The phrase "an idea whose time had come" springs to mind.

(this comment is intended to read as professional respect, not fanboying - the extent to which I succeeded in that intension must inevitably be left as an exercise for the reader)
Show HN: I made a web game called Almost Pong
Hi HN!

I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong.

This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code.

Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
Orwellian theories are fun and all, but the media emphasizes the most extreme scenarios because those headlines and stories get the most clicks.
>The report also references for the first time “historical and ongoing patterns of inequity such as colonialism” that contribute to many regions’ vulnerability to climate change.

Because I'm sure these people would somehow be worse off without the exposure to modern technology and civilization from colonialism...

This research should really stick to climate, harder to take it seriously when it comes with a side of woke propaganda.

You’re not wrong, but hoping people will choose anything other than the default thing is going to result in failure. If you lay out cities for cars, people will use cars. If you build massive urban areas in places that stay in the 90s with high humidity, people are going to blast the AC. If disposable things are cheaper than longer lasting things because there’s no cost to throwing it away, people are going to do it.

People just follow the path of least resistance in a given environment and only an extreme minority are ever going to be persuadable to consciously go against that at all. If we want different behavior, we’d need to bulldoze most of America and start over.
They aren't really independent because a huge chunk of their money comes from Google. Their open source, not counting Rust because they divested that, is also mostly under their own copyleft license which discourages outside collaboration.

> there are many parts of IRL poker that... truly suck. Play is slower than what you would like, and, if you play "correctly", the ratio of hands you are playing to time you are waiting for shuffling,dealing,etc. is quite obnoxious.

The point of poker with friends isn't to grind out hands with an optimal strategy as quickly as possible.
Also, waiting for IP is a huge bar for entry.

Suppose you just want a soft core for a one-off FPGA project. RISC-V is a no-brainer if you need to run complex stuff like a Linux kernel. There's myriad of projects to pick from on GitHub. Try them all, pick the one you prefer.

The barrier to entry is so much reduced that you can use RISC-V "by accident" without having considered it in advance, as part of a normal engineering process in companies of any size, vs months-long waits for IP, after deciding it was worth obtaining.

Google will soon disable free access to legacy free domain mailboxes (G-Suite). When developing migration tool at inbox.eu it was major headache to implement migration from google. You either use web oauth2 login for each mailbox one by one (imagine pain moving thousands of mailboxes), or enable less secure apps option which now works unreliably or use not easy to obtain global service key to have full access to all domain (which admins do not want). Google makes really hard to move to another mailbox provider. I am actually updating migration tool to make it simpler to migrate
Haha. You’re bringing up tech from 20 years ago when we’re discussing modern security measures, aren’t you very clever.

What hardmods do you know of for current gen consoles? Even the previous generation mostly fixed all public hardware based attacks.

This is standardized hardware that would be a relatively soft target to build tooling against, yet modchips are essentially dead because the attacks are just far too difficult.
Kind of agree with you, nothing can be taken for sure right now.

Regarding the exact nuclear strategy to be used, I suspect better brains are thinking about this already, but my take is, they'll go for intimidation. Blowing up a tactical, somewhere in Ukraini, in the middle of nothing. Then they'll just ask for Zelensky to hand them an unconditional surrender ...or else.

I think that after having watched a nuclear device gone off inside your country, few will remain confident they could avoid being obliterated without warning.

I know these are harsh words, I'm just trying to state my opinion very clearly. Hope you all guys there keep kicking it.
