people really don't understand what a blessing it is to not have sodas be free. that kind of culture with an expectation of it (and 'snacks') being free will create a lot of fatness in the industry

WOW. This sounds extremely bad.

I started using a personal domain just for email to avoid Google AI kind of screwups, I didn’t know a domain name can have this kind of screwups. I am using a traditional domain hosting company now, definitely not going to use this kind of new tech company to handle the most critical thing.
It does look at bit like parts of Tableau's desktop product.
Maybe it fades, maybe the nature of opportunity changes. A while back I found a reproduction of an old local newspaper from the late 1700s. Lots of interesting stuff, but one of the unexpected things that really hit me was seeing multiple advertisements by shoemakers in a town of maybe a couple thousand people. That small of a town and 2 or 3 folks are focused on making shoes! Of course now the town is much larger and we have 0 shoemakers. But we've got plenty of software engineers working from home, etc. We'll never go back to the days of local shoemakers, just like we'll never go back to the early days of Bitcoin, but something interesting is sure to be around the corner.
The simple answer is that that's like asking "boats can float, why can't cars?".
The Bernstein clip is fun but for an example of how much a conductor can communicate with their eyes (as well as with supremely expressive physical gestures) there is no better example than Carlos Kleiber. From ecstatic climaxes to sections of extreme relaxation it’s a remarkable example of the art of conducting.

Good for fuel and CO2 output per mile, manufacturing impact, and so on. Not so great for atmospheric pollution, where even modern "emissions equipped" 4 cycle scooters and motorcycles pollute far more than a modern passenger SUV.

This one major downside would be easily fixed by going EV. And scooters are far more practical for having an EV in an urban area; you can actually charge them off a 110V outlet in a practical amount of time, for example.

The shame is that in the US, "Vespa" style electric scooters are very difficult to come by. Some major players are in the market, but nobody seems willing to import and sell in the US on any sort of grand scale.

We need someone like Honda to sell an EV scooter.

FYI a steering lock won't stop a scooter from being stolen. You need to basically secure it with an enormous chain to something completely stationary. Even with a steering lock and disc brake lock, it'll just get tossed into a minivan (the most popular choice for thefts because they're enclosed and have tinted windows.)
I always thought I was dumb. Everyone I know says "python just clicked for me", and I have been writing python on and off since 2003 and I have hated every moment of it.

About 75% of the bugs I write seem to be about mutable state, and python has nothing but mutable state.

It doesn't even get scoping right.
Part of the problem is media piling up on doom/gloom stories with zero understanding of the industry. This NYT article is all fluff and no substance. Obligated to link this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWdd6_ZxX8c
This is similar in spirit to my app, TaskTXT (https://www.tasktxt.com). It's a plain text task manager which allows you to time your tasks, helping you avoid distraction. The timer data is stored right in the document.

My thoughts as well, but it _is_ plausible that if the sodas had remained free, it would have taken a few more months for the "elves" to notice that this was no longer the kind of place they wanted to work. The "uproar" basically sent the message of "this place is run by accountants now, not engineers", and that was what sent the engineers to the exits.
> in EU, and here I think a 10x might be able to get max 20% more.

More like 200% more.

There's a lot of Europeans here in the Valley, but almost no Americans in Europe. There's a reason for that. There are also "dark matter devs" in Europe that are working remotely for SV companies, at SV salaries. They simply won't ever show up for interviews at local companies.

> In my opinion, getting a 10x developer has more to do with the work environment than with the developer.

I recall a story someone told me a while ago. Software business that did local CoL/prevailing wages. Hired an intern one summer that was just running around in circles around the other, more senior devs. Next summer they tried to get him back but he was already at a large search engine company down in the Bay. Of course, he wouldn't return. That's when they realized a whole class of engineers were completely invisible to them; they lucked out hiring him that summer but there was no chance they could attract someone like him full time.
Looks very useful! In terms of feedback, I think if you brought in a designer you'd have a much bigger "wow" factor. There's a lot of low hanging fruit like consistent button styles, fonts, whitespace, larger text inputs, that'd go a long way. And I'm sure you've thought of this already, but seems like a node-based paradigm could be an improvement over the panel-based paradigm e.g. more akin to something like Blender nodes, or Tableau.
Not a Historian but it seems pretty clear that a lot of activism comes directly out of Universities. Berkeley is famous in that regard for example. These movements do tend to ripple across the country.
or if I could just inject and print my own calendar events to and from the `cal` command and send that through an ical parser--item added via a plain text calendar, added to ical, and immediately updated event on my phone.

I am remarkably lazy sometimes.
This guy is trolling, and he's doing it very skillfully.

In the real world though, it's the resumes of men which get trashed. It's open and quite legal, with the Orwellian name of affirmative action.

It's also very mainstream, to the extent that a major Canadian university put it explicitly in their announcement for a tenure track position that men need not apply. [1]

Cost aside, how would charging on a roadtrip work when everyone has an EV? Sure in cities you can install chargers everywhere, but on highways you would need, what, charging stations with 100 charge spots? One highway gas station has hundreds if not thousands of cars per day, how would that work if each car has to take the spot for half an hour?

I don’t think people selling EVs really care about this, government is too slow to react as usual, and huge bottleneck with charging infrastructure is bound to happen.

Montana always had a "maximum speed", they just didn't put a number on it for periods of time. But if you thought 110mph down US 2 was reasonable and prudent (and there are plenty of sections where an argument could be made...), a MT trooper might set you straight.
“Handwriting recognition was a key part of the plan.”

I was pretty young during this era of computing…but it felt that handwriting input was going to be The Thing in terms of next-generation computer interaction. Mind you, all I had access to was MacWorld and whatever PC mags were at the bookstore, but handwriting was seemingly going to be the text input method of the future. I swear you could even buy what amounted to a teeeeny little Wacom tablet to plug into your computer for handwriting recognition.

All of which seems funny to me by 2022 standards. Computers were supposed to adapt to our “natural” input method of handwriting…but instead everything is a keyboard, be it a soft or hard keyboard, and then voice recognition for short on-the-go messages or for individuals with accessibility constraints. I mean, I literally cannot write any more. If you put me back in 4th grade, I’d flunk a cursive test so hard they’d hold me back a year.
When the Walls Close In
The "think of the farmers!" excuse is the exact same as the "think of the children!"

It's meant to make you "feel" for them as opposed to actually looking at the objective facts like "people have been replacing parts on their vehicles/tractors/farm equipment every since the ICE was invented over 100 years ago and there wasn't a 99% casualty rate like John Deere is trying to invoke in your head."

It's frustrating seeing the newer generations grow up into this, because they're going to be used to it and see it as a part of their daily lives - "Oh well, time to log a service call with Tractor Company X and wait two weeks for a service tech to show up while my crops stay untreated"

If companies like Apple, John Deere, etc. stayed in their wheelhouse and didn't actively restrict new up and comers into a market that already requires millions of capital to even consider starting - maybe then there'd be more competition and we'd have tractor companies that let you change your own parts out and they'd likely put a company like Deere out of business or at least heavily financially push them to have a better service call experience.

Start with your oven. It's a totally acceptable option just make sure you have good ventilation or your smoke detectors will go crazy.

This is bad advice. I really can’t recommend this.

If you’ve ever played with home rosters with larger capacities, you’ll quickly find out just how much smoke gets generated. It’s a sticky and oily smoke too.

You don’t want that in your home.

Idea HN: Make AI/ML etc. easier to start to learn with an ELI5 Requirement
The purpose of this post is to start talking about high-level AI/ML concepts in an ELI5 manner, such that we do NOT branch off into esoteric which no child can begin to grasp without decades off loss-leader human bullshit)

OUT OF THE GATE: Regardless of whatever your research, especially AI/ML is - The opening statement should be an ELI5 of what you state.

AND MAKE THOSE SEARCHABLE:

and tree into knowledge of.

This is going to hockeystick before we even see it coming.

THUS

May we please have a standard for ELI5 format. (instead of an TL;DR trope)

AN ACTUAL STANDARD.

Why Am I asking this?

Imagine the velocity of thought, science, ingenuity and discovery that is constantly evolving.

We are, as a techno-sapiens as grimes put it (apropros cyberpunk dystopian weird shit her name implies (that 'grimes' talks about techno-sapiens) ((Transhumanists are trying too hard to become the emodiment of the mechanical elves)) [God I hope you get those layers, as I am to focused to type them out)

So lets bring this back down to the ELI5 request.

You are a researcher in AI/ML/Whatever it will be called (HUMAN ACTIVITY AUGMENTED IN SOME MANNER BY THE TECH THAT IS CREATED BY HUMAN MINDS< BUT ULTIMATELY RELIES ON THE TECHNOLOGY WHICH ENABLED IT)

And the iterations beyond.

SO lets imagine a human zygote.

The development of that mind, in say, a womb circa -1400 comes ...

* We learned how to not let our offspring die.

* We learned that in order for them to survive, they needed to build the same infra to support their offspring (meaning not die themselves, see #1)

* We learned that as we grow, #1 can involve others outside of FAMILY

etc... You know the thing, Man, C'mon man. (joe biden demntial anomally detected)

We need to treat AI COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY and more conscientious than ever.

But the current implementations are absurd and fucking evil.

Yes this would be nice to have! If there's a version of this that gets funded or bootstrapped then I'd definitely like to bring someone on to help.

> And I'm sure you've thought of this already, but seems like a node-based paradigm could be an improvement over the panel-based paradigm e.g. more akin to something like Blender nodes, or Tableau.

Actually no I'm not familiar with this concept. But I have seen what natto.dev does and I'm concerned that that is too free form compared to how DataStation works. A little structure is useful IMO. I'm not sure how similar Blender nodes or Tableau are to natto.dev.

That said, DataStation panels show up in an order but the order of evaluation is not set. You can import the results of a panel defined below the current panel it just matters that the panel you refer to has been run. So it may be closer to a node-based design in that case. But again I'm not sure if that's what you mean.
The AMD software stack has been behind for a long time but I feel like we're finally catching up. I heard that HIP (and hopefully the rest of ROCM) is now supported on the RX6800XT consumer GPU... maybe that could help? BTW my team at AMD has been using Julia for ML workloads for a while. We should get in touch - maybe some of the lessons we learn can be useful to you. My email is claforte. The domain I'm sure you can guess. ;-)
It’s literally not structured to encourage retention, definitely not at the same school. Those salary schedules on district websites? Those are for new hires. So someone with 40 years of experience in one school will be paid less than someone hired with 40 years. Raises aren’t at all guaranteed each year and even when you do get them, they often don’t match the salary schedule of someone hired new to the district.

Also 40 years of experience doesn’t pay much in general. I was paid more as a new associate developer than I would have with 40 years of experience and a masters degree as a teacher.

Pensions don’t have compounding interest, they are defined benefits. And often they are in place of social security (though the amount you pay in as a teacher is basically equivalent to social security taxes). They can be good, but it’s risky and depends on the state. Lots of states like to raid the pension fund and then promise to make it up later (but rarely do). Cutting pensions is also a popular move to score political points, so it’s possible that you could always end up with little to nothing by the time you retire.

Having been a heavy Linux user continuously since about 1999, including a few years as a Linux (and OpenBSD) sysadmin for an ISP back in the day, the biggest unanswered question in my mind at the moment is: why on earth are we using XModem over a serial link to send the initrd to boot a Linux server in 2022?
Eh. While there's certainly a lot of "SMIDSY" crashes, at least some crashes and deaths are due to dangerous riding and lack of gear. It'd be interesting to see how the risk is spread; my guess is that if you're over 25, the risk drops precipitously, for example.

I've known numerous motorcyclists throughout my life and very few of them have had a crash. They're all middle age or older, well educated, and not thrill-seeker types.

Given that the context on this subthread is how a benefit from Go is that it "compiles to a single executable that's easy to deploy. This is a compelling advantage over Java,C#,Python,Ruby that require runtimes or complicated virtual environments."

I fail to see how this information about "most places you work for" is relevant.

Even if that's the case, you can always also deploy Go with kubernetes and whatever.

But you can't deploy most of the others as a single static binary.

(Getting one out of Java, for one, requires some half-arsed non-really-supported solutions, whereas getting one out of Go is the default).

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? And I'm afraid you may be missing mine. He doesn't talk about his SpaceX experience in the post, and that fact only goes to underline my point. What he's talking about is not his experience, at least as far as we can discern, rather it's about the vibey-ness of the thing (Drew: "We all know Megacorps are evil...").

(And, wow, the fact he worked for SpaceX is hilarious given his views on FOSS. Tesla/SpaceX are terrible re: FOSS. Much, much worse than any FAANG.)
