> They are blackboxes for the normal user the same way as a smartphone is a blackbox.

You can't take that approach. The current NN techniques are blackbox-by-nature, and are blockbox to everyone including the devs. Proprietary software is only blackbox to consumers, and large complex software still have insides that can be observed when things go wrong. For NNs, nothing can describe how exactly they work, and each network has to be reverse engineered independently, which is, AFAIK, a separate research field.

> I can't drive 10 Million KM in my lifetime (i think). The cars from Google and Tesla already did.

The length (nor the amount of data) alone doesn't decide the quality of AI. Actually, ROI diminishes rather quickly in the early stage of development. The rest is about picking up corner cases. They can drive 1 parsec, and still would not perform better than the ones we have now.

Also, again, because NN is a complete blackbox, even the devs can't be sure if those corner cases are properly reflected to a newly trained network, nor if the new training data didn't impact the performance in other corners. We just don't know for sure. We just take chances. That's the limitation.
Yes, fully agree, just to give Fred access to develop a worker in dev environment we have to grant them access to the whole account, it's batshit insane. We created acmecorpx.com for dev and put this on a seperate CF account but it still sucks
It wasn't so much him, like you say it's understandable given his personal experience. The blame should be on the people who gave him the microphone.
Depends on the coworkers. I've had jobs where almost everyone smoked and drank together on break, other places were less open. I wouldn't be the first one to break out the weed at an event like this though.
Our house, built in 2004, has one. We’ve never used it. The closet that has the vacuum in it also has some other equipment and is a bit of an IDF for my home network. Strongly considering removing the vacuum unit entirely and using the ducting as conduit per the above comment!
If you can double your money every 6 months, and the music was playing for the past 3 years, you'd have been a fool not to play.

It's why bubbles grow. The optimal move for anyone but a precog is to keep playing, right up until the end.

Very few people in this case actually mint and sell tickets, most of them are hangers-on who are either hoping to dump to a bigger fool, or are also selling tickets (but are also utterly dependent on the music to keep playing.)

Since that cable is USB-C only, and I don't have USB-C ports on my gaming PC, I have a 5m (~16ft) USB-A to C cable. Pure copper all the way, just much heavier than a regular weight USB cable.

I have no issues with data rate or packet loss at all.
Fair enough. I defer to JetBrains on that point.

Any reason you're using SSH X forwarding over something like Xpra? It also works over SSH, but lets apps persist even if the SSH connection is broken for whatever reason.

You can even run Firefox via Wayland and forward a persistent XWayland session if that's your cup of tea.
> On the other hand, going rogue and making big strategic decisions about the company

Parag isn't a strong character like that. He's someone who plays by the rules and only says empty conventional things, without any personal opinion or feeling, couched in formal modern US corporate/tech language, with the required progressive veneer. I'm pretty sure he only thinks things along similar lines.
They want to get rid of it because the inside of a smartphone is very space constrained and they can use that space for other things.

Considering you can use a lightning or usb c to 3.5mm with a built in DAC that sounds as good or better than the ones they were putting in the phones, the 3.5mm jack was pretty redundant.
Ask HN: Thoughts on moving from senior management to an individual contributor?
I've been in a financial services company for the majority of my career. About half the time as an individual contributor, the other half as a Director/VP.

I'm currently responsible for a significant portion of the cloud strategy. AWS, networking therein, Dev(Sec)Ops, the works. While my role is classified as senior management, I don't shy away from supporting the team when it comes to getting your hands dirty with an advanced technical problem. I (still) know my stuff.

I'm growing weary of the role though. There's a lot of disfunction in the organization, and I spend more time solving organizational issues than technical ones. And while it's been my ability to solve _both_ technical and organizational issues effectively that's gotten me to where I am now, I get little satisfaction from the latter.

Some days I feel like I would be happier just jumping back into an individual contributor role and making the best of the infrastructure, architecture, automation, and other such skills.

I'd love to hear stories from anyone else who's found themselves in a similar position. How'd it go? What was the reaction from your next employer? Did you stick to the individual contributor role, or did old habits kick in and land you back in management anyways? And of course, one of the most burning questions on my mind... what happened with compensation?

Spot on. As a techie learning sale for my side project, I will never be the best at sales in the same way someone out of a bootcamp doesn't match the skillset of a Bjarne Stroustrup or a Rich Hickey but quite often you don't have to be the best at something for it make the difference between 0 and something that grows.
Similarly, I've lived in and around Boston my entire adult life (I'm 34) and I don't think I've ever seen needles on the street. I've seen what was probably human waste two or three times. It seems like San Francisco and Portland in particular are pretty bad, from talking to folks who live there and from visiting both. But most urban areas I've been to in the United States are fine.

(Now, are American cities kind of dirty? Yeah. There's a ton of people who travel through every day. But Americans, as a rule, seem to not like paying that much for other folks. Certainly not enough to pay for the kind of urban cleaning that'd be necessary.)
Not so simple when a lot of the tooling that facilitates easy development is tied to CF API, are you meant to build your own cloudflared and wrangler just so you dont have to grant everyone in the org super admin?

This is where AWS wins, AWS gives you everything from $0/month, IAM in the above case, but you don't stay at $0 for long, where as CF gives you partial bits but you remain at $0-low/pm for longer

Its actually really ironic the same company that says SAML for all for free, can't even get basic RAC on their own admin controls
When 9 people in a group of 10 see one person get lucky by owning more than 90% of the available assets around them and not seeing an iota of it going to them, you are about to get a lesson in how unlucky you can also be.
I hate to say this, but having lived in a place with a lot of cultural diversity:

1) If a little black boy or girl came along I felt fine fixing their bicycle or whatever.

2) If a poor looking white kid I felt fine that their parents wouldn't accuse me of some bullshit if they were on my property or whatever.

3) Middle class or better seeming white kids. No fucking chance in hell. Won't talk to them. Won't willingly let them on my property. Won't engage or look at them. Scared to hell parents will accuse me of something or sue.

There is no shortage of people who have spent lots of money on good quality headphones that want to use them though, but that doesn't matter to companies like Google or Samsung or Apple because they don't make or sell those products, instead they want to sell you easy to lose, overpriced, sub-par quality, "they look cool and just work**" buds and the best way to do that is to just kill any other choice. Want big headphones or noise cancelling? Not our problem!

They also finally realized that you can buy a 512GB sd card for like $100 bucks so no one was paying an extra $350 to get 128gb more space, so again, just eliminate the option because they literally can and no one can stop them.

It's fucking bullshit.
> But I got sick of the fights [...] got too many concussions

While lots of people in cities live very different lives, either you were very unlucky or this is your own fault. Or do you think the majority of the 8 million people in NYC have gotten a concussion since moving there?

The filth, yeah, it's neighborhood dependent but NYC as a whole (really anywhere other than right on Central Park) has a lot of room to improve. Pretty rare to see needles or human excrement (dog excrement is way too common).

Is spinning up a cloud-managed database really infrastructure as code? Seems more like SaaS from code. To me, infrastructure from code would at bare minimum mean spinning up a Kubernetes cluster capable of deploying database and similar containers so that you're not paying a premium to have some blackbox cloud service supposedly managing your services.
I think I covered this: I identify "suburban car culture" with the completion of interstate highways (and beltways) around major cities. The Interstate Highway System wasn't even begun until the late 1950s. And as I mentioned in the previous comment, there are confounding factors that explain why moral panic about childhood safety didn't really emerge until the mid-to-late 1980s (which, note, is about one generation after the first demographic of baby boomers was born in early suburbs).

Recently was biking down a city street and saw a pack of tiny kids supervised by two adults, walking down the sidewalk. All the kids wore identical tiny day-glo safety vests, just like adult safety vests but kindergarten-sized. It was the cutest thing and I wanted a photo for my elderly mother-in-law, who would have absolutely loved it. Was late afternoon and the light was perfect, the day-glo was electric.

Then reality hit: I could get in big trouble and my benign motive would be a useless defense. I biked past, lamenting the loss of a terrific photo.

Nobody is going to be removing support for lightning or USB c to 3.5mm adapters with DACs, so this point is kind of moot.

No difference between having an internal 3.5mm jack and one connected via USB.
It will interesting to see what Bitcoin's price floor is when we get to maximum crypto-pessimism.

Intuitively, that seems like it would be the price of its aspiration to be "digital gold", in the sense of it being an asset-of-last-resort that has little to no economically productive value, just like the piles at the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox.

Heck if I know what that is, though. $10k, $5k? Or are there structural risks that would preclude it from ever being used that way? Is there price or policy regime which will trigger a catastrophic loss of confidence and collapse, or like gold, is there a reality of its existence that can't be negated.
Numbers in a computer have NO INTRINSIC WORTH.

Their only value is what people agree upon. That's exactly the same as any other fiat currency. These 'currencies' are simply promises. Sometimes people renege on their promises. The suckers that believe those promises are what is usually called 'gullible'.
Did they ever fix the problems that led to the 2008 crash? I don’t think so.

My experience is similar to yours, but I wonder how it's different when you aren't "just passing through".

The way that we have structured the mix of movement-for-career and rental precarity (at the lower end) suggests that we disincentivize "putting down roots" in the way that normalizes that kind of behavior.

> […] and - more recently - the common person using the internet/social media to amplify troublesome anecdotes to the point where they seem like pervasive trends

Which, of course, describes this entire thread of discussion kicked off on one person’s anecdote…
Not sure if I understood you correctly, but the idea of a policy that protects children from their own parents seems really far-fetched (?). From the other parents, sure; yeah, there is social media and sharing will happen. But when exactly do we go from “a person shared a photo with me in the background in a pose I didn’t like” to “let’s preemptively stop human beings from doing something stupid by prohibiting everything”? Should we really assume that it’s more likely for someone to be shamed by another human being (because of a photo they took) than not? Or, in other words, that the probability of shaming happening is so high it deserves preemptive prohibition? I think we should assume parents are responsible and that the pictures will be a positive memory (then deal with it when it doesn’t happen) than assuming that everyone is a pervert and thus making everyone pay for that.
In short: yes, it's a good thing. As written, the amendment is designed to prevent me from being arrested or killed by the Federal Government for speaking my mind, disseminating my thoughts on paper, or congregating with like-minded people.

I don't agree that this should be expected or required of businesses, because the dangers and incentives are different. Twitter is not going to have you arrested or killed for criticizing Twitter.

I agree that it's reasonable for Twitter to try and get as many users onto its platform as possible, because that earns them more money (I guess?), but if they are faced with having to choose between two groups of users to support, and they like one group better than the other, they should be able to choose to withhold service from the other group to keep the first. Even if it means a group of users loses the ability to speak via Twitter.

"As for the crypto-maximalists screaming about Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system for on-chain payments and as a currency, it is safe to say that experiment has totally failed and that was found out the hard way."

Crypto has not failed. These are your words, not from the article. You are wrong, as you don't have any proof. Also, the onus is on you to prove your statement. Right now it's baseless and doesn't further conversation.

> So.. sell or lower your rent?

Say you're already charging the lowest rent that makes economic sense (i.e. at cost) and you still can't get tenants? What then? It's not like anyone is going to want to buy the place from you under those conditions. Your best bet would probably be to tear the place down in hopes that without an actual inhabitable residence on the property it will no longer qualify as vacant for tax purposes. Perhaps even get the land rezoned from residential to commercial. This certainly won't do anything to improve the availability of housing when demand eventually picks back up, but then that's an entirely predictable outcome of attacking "speculation".
Don't have any advice on your situation specifically, but let me offer a perspective that might be of some use: you still have a functional brain and this is an incredible gift.

Around 6 years ago, I hit a breaking point of stress and developed chronic fatigue syndrome while working for a tech company. I haven't yet recovered from it and I've been out of the industry for almost 3 years now since the fatigue and brain fog have made it impossible to think clearly for any sustained period. I have no idea yet if I'll be able to turn my life around, let alone my career.

I say all of that not to be pitied but rather because, if there was just one thing I could impress upon people, it would be that having a well-functioning brain is an extraordinary privilege that is very much taken for granted, until it's lost. Do the best you can to take care of yours and use it to engineer your way out of your situation.

Some advice I can offer from how I frame things: think of yourself as an underdog and rise to the challenge of designing an epic comeback starting from scratch. Many people feel locked into a charted course once they get to a certain point in their lives and are very often dissatisfied with it. You, by contrast, get to step back and take stock of what you want out of the rest of your life. You can choose to craft the best possible story from here, but, critically, you must first frame your circumstances appropriately: you're the underdog who's going to fight your way back, not the miserable wretch who spirals into despair.
Just like…have it with you? They sell things to attach it to your keys. You can buy a few adapters to leave at your desk in your car, they are cheap.

People always seem willing to die on the hill of this incredibly minor inconvenience. Literally solvable with like 10 dollars.
