You are: pushing the boundaries of what can be done programmatically with words, text, phonemes, image generation, or music (or an analogous domain dealing with sequences such as bioinformatics or finance) and need an individual who is capable of high-level strategic contributions, can align stake-holders across all areas of the business, is a strong technical architect, can grow and mentor an engineering organization, and is actively involved in the code.

I am: a pianist, writer, teacher, and engineering leader with a wholistic focus on business needs and a love for creative problem-solving. Over the last decade I've designed, architected, built, maintained, and trained replacements to own:

- query generators for navigating medical databases where errors are measured in lives lost
- constraint-based systems for music composition
- low- and no-code platforms for form generation, UIs
- event-sourced streaming systems
- dependency managers for build systems and large-scale machine learning workflows

I excel in: engineering strategy, growing and mentoring engineering teams, and breaking down complex technical and operational issues in a manner that is sensitive to both organizational incentives and feasibility.

I have a special knack for: finding creative solutions to problems you didn't know you had.

Email me at my HN username at gmail if you're interested in discussing further and need someone with senior management experience who can also get things done.

Already answered upthread, someone figured out a way to test this without logging out and the answer is no, it has not been changed.

So it has to be a technical trick of sorts. But what?
I just find the consistency to be all over the place from machine to machine. Regular coke never tastes like coke. It's fine if you like adding lime/flavorings/etc but just getting the standard flavor of something is just always off.

wth? a "for cause" termination is a pretty big deal (in some larger organizations practically an automatic application killer), and to say it in a press statement is furthering its damaging impact. why do they think they need to do that?

even if we take for granted that there's probably a lot more to this story than what's reported in the article, this leaves a bitter aftertaste. there are so many ways this could have been handled more gracefully. and the optics of doing that in the context of a critical study are poor, to say the least.

I once made an intemperate comment to someone arguing in favor of eugenics via involuntary sterilization that they should consider starting with themselves, if you get my meaning, and Twitter locked my account within 30 seconds. They have automated systems for threats of violence or encouragement of self-harm. (I was happy to delete the comment after using the opportunity to cool off and reflect for a couple days.)
I'm confused.

There are people with fossil fuels. They want to make money from their access to fossil fuels. They will strive to do so, and some of them will strive without concern for the collective good. I think those things are clear.

If fossil fuels are burned for energy, that contributes directly to climate change. If those fossil fuels are converted into plastics which are put in landfills, that directly contributes less to climate change. I hope that all of the above is uncontroversial.

Where I get confused is this:

Do you think that reducing demand for plastic will result in less fossil fuels being burned? Do you think that reducing demand for non-burning-uses of fossil fuels will result in so much less production of fossil fuels that the overall price of oil-for-burning will go up?

I'm no economist, but your claim is the exact opposite of how I thought it works. Can you explain?
at the end .. its just money going from one account to another right? Its not like some physical thing that has perished and cant be brought back. Why is it difficult to reverse the transactions?

An alternative solution, that this article weirdly doesn't touch on, is that the US could also shift policy to stop exporting recycling material. It'd be nice to encourage expanded recycling domestically but if that fails and if ~80% of exported material is going to end up improperly dumped then it'd be far more reasonable to just make sure it's properly dumped in the US.

Make the export of detritus illegal, send the excess to dumps, and if Americans deem this offensive then they can legislate additional subsidies for domestic recycling (even potentially becoming a net importer of detritus!).
Oddly enough I was able to select between [ Text message, Authentication app, Security key ]. I chose Authentication app, and I was not asked for my phone number. Though your account may now be in a "special state" due to these circumstances.

EDIT: Ah I see elsewhere you said you don't use a smart phone (thus, no authentication app.)
OpenTracks is a pretty good alternative:

It depends on what applications you need, but Mobian is very stable and usable.
The Kindle/E-Reader development community is a great one. It's so cool that development keeps continuing to provide better and better jailbreaks.
I can't see what it says there (still get the stupid 'phone number required' screen).
In my wishful thinking, by far the best way to do that would be for the courts to stick companies with full legal liability for the shortcomings of their "machine learning" systems. And if it's fairly easily demonstrate that GiantCo's ML decision making system is a sexist, racist, ageist...then GiantCo is not just guilty, but also presumed to have known in advance that they were systematically and deliberately on the wrong side of the law.
The author is conflating two separate issues.

Their main point is at the end:

> Banning plastic straws is stupid.

They're probably right that throwing out plastic straws is better than throwing them in the recycling, assuming that plastic straws can't be efficiently recycled. That being said, many US recycling utilities typically sort the recycling on shore, and plastics that are too small to be efficiently identified and recycled (such as straws and loose bottle caps) will just be sent to the landfill regardless. How recycling is processed differs a lot across the country, so it's hard to make generalizations.

But that doesn't support their final conclusion about whether plastic straws should be banned. The author doesn't give a reason, but implicitly that they think paper straws suck, and must suck. Which a lot of the ones today do. But it's an odd hill to die on, given that basically all straws before 1960 were made of paper. Their ire should probably be directed at the establishments they frequent for buying cheap and terrible paper straws instead of spending a bit more to get good quality paper straws. Such companies probably want to get you pissed off by paper straws to demand that your government remind the ban so they can go back to using cheaper plastic straws.

I am open about my diagnosis of ADD, as are some doctors with ADD who see a doctor for their ADD.

This man, there is nothing wrong with. It is the world around him that's wrong. And apparently it's a clock speed thing, that's an actual scientific conclusion I'm arriving to, and talking with doctors about how to measure with high precision. It's literally, literally, literally the beat of a different drummer, fewer Hertz, and if he did go somewhere with more people like him it would not only be much better, he would both be much more liked and like those around him more (which is reinforcing), people would return him his lost belongings, his defeats would be many fewer, and...I divine his depression would vanish.
Because those transactions cause other transactions, which cause others, and so on and so forth. You'd have to reset the market for the day.

Imagine how pissed you'd be if you made money off Knight's mistake and it all just disappeared the next day.

OOP isn't that bad in moderation! My personal proprietary blend looks like 5%/20%/35%/40% declarative/functional/OOP/imperative these days. I'm definitely wary of letting too much functional or OOP zealotry. I try to avoid all the monad/applicative/functor stuff and too many abstract base classes, excessive interface indirection.

But I am a Java pleb.
Not sure whether their 'remote' attribute is the biggest concern if they're liable to behave in that way.

"Hire the right people" might be the best advice; remote or otherwise.
Gotta love ol' Dr. Roy. A guy who claims to be against FUD, yet does a lot to spread it.
Yep! traditional hypertuning techniques and automated broader surveys across multiple algos are both on the roadmap for "soon".
WinForms did, it's extremely similar to Delphi's VCL. Microsoft's even changing newer UI libraries do not.
I just setup TOTP 2FA w/o a phone number.
Nier had significant assets in that regard too.

Just read anything from a privacy policy in a Nixon-intonation "I am not a crook!" style and you'll get what you need from it. A touch of Futurama-Nixon jowl-flapping adds much to the imagined statements.

They're all written in the, "Well, technically, our lawyers claim we're not lying..." style. But they're sure not end-user friendly, which is the exact point.

And any time they claim they're not doing something explicitly, look for ways they might have navigated around it carefully. Roku's "you agree to let us do anything we want" policy, for instance, includes a dutiful agreement to not do anything prohibited by the laws of the country your data is stored in. Of course, they then later state that they can move your data to any country they want.
Agreed. I try to keep docs simple. Create headers for different sections and give yourself a TODO for what need to go there. Then it's just writing.
The design of the experiment makes me wonder a few questions. One is why to study the impact of submarine cables that lie at, lets say 1000 m deep?, over larvae that live a 2m deep. Eggs, yes, could have an effect, but Zoea I that would be kept in pelagic cages? they don't share the same space.

If I remember correctly (I could be wrong), The lobsters in the article had not settled for the bottom yet.

I assume also that there will be a tank influence. That explains why crabs perform better, as expected. Lobster larvae are incredibly delicate to cavitation, or impact with aquarium walls or bubbles. When they molt is a huge problem to keep them without deformations.
I think it would be cool to have a bot that helped figure out which algorithms would help with a specific problem.

YoshiP is killing it with 14. Let's just leave him alone to build great things. Or at least until he gets 16 out first.
Are you certain that the email from Twitter is even genuine? Your account looks completely normal to me. I don't know what a blocked account should look like but to me it doesn't look like your account is banned or anything. And the tweet in question (which your bafflingly refuse to delete) isn't present.
Any system can cheat entropy as long as it's not a closed system, by decreasing locally but increasing it globally. Life is a good example.

That is true, my email could be compromised.

But: my browser - which I use to access my email - is locked down to the point that a normal user probably wouldn't find it much fun, between umatrix and adblock plus there isn't a whole lot of javascript that runs before I authorize it.

Agreed that it is possible. But still unlikely.
Pretty much everyone takes a copy of the codebase they've been working on with them when they leave, unless it's too huge to copy without being noticed. For reference purposes more than anything.

I know people with private copies of some decent chunks of FAANG source code, for example. They'd never leak it, it's tucked away just in case they want to refer back to it, for whatever reason.

Just don't worry about it, it's not a big deal.
A plant is what a seed does to the dirt around it.
Just to add to this, HTML parsers will attempt to make sense of any random line noise you give it and turn it into a DOM. When I say something is "invalid" HTML, what I mean is that it's not allowed by the spec and will result in an error if you run it through a validator (which you should do!)

For example, try running the following document through the W3C's HTML validator[1]:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=en>
<title>Test Document</title>

<p>
<div></div>
</p>

The HTML spec contains a list of all possible parse errors[2].

A user marked it offtopic, which downweighted it. A few longstanding HN users have the ability to do this, as part of an experiment we've been running. I've written about it in a few places:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31228950

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31227642

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31227584

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31117569

The downweighting is intended for when overly generic or offtopic subthreads are stuck at the top of a page, choking out more interesting or on-topic conversation.

(Unfortunately it caused some trouble a while back because one such downweighted subthread was critical of a YC startup, and a much more important rule is that we moderate HN less when YC or YC startups are the topic. But it was a straightforward mistake—the user who marked the thread generic just didn't realize that the topic was YC related.)

Since it's an experiment, we want to keep an eye on it. Currently I have the software send an email each time a downweight is applied, so we can review them as part of going through the regular HN inbox. When I saw this one, it was such a perfect example that I came to the thread and auto-collapsed it as well. So that's its current status: downweighted and auto-collapsed.

Btw, basically none of these situations get created intentionally. They're a tragedy-of-the-commons thing where each person does what they do innocently but it all adds up to something suboptimal. That's pretty much what moderation exists for: to jiggle the system when it gets stuck in one of its failure modes.
