I started a new job remotely (pre-COVID, the company had ~zero WFH) and onboarding was very smooth with two in-person interactions to pick up hardware; was contributing in less than two weeks.

I'm guessing that if it loses power during flight then it's curtains for the airframe and anyone unlucky enough to be in it.

There's lots more work to do to push it out to the mass market, but I could definitely see a niche for it.
It's kinda the point of the standard markets, and those players are bringing it to cryptocurrency...

Or, more succinctly: your comment is contested.
Onboarding remote employees is different from in-person. If the company refuses to adapt then yeah, onboarding should be a pain.
This is a consequence of their earlier distro contracts and their failure to account for netflix succeeding to become a worthy competitor and those rights-holders saying "hey wait me too".

A History of Symbols
I’m pretty surprised that places like Amazon doesn’t pay for home internet. My current employeer it the first in a long time that doesn’t pay my internet bill.

Electricity can be deducted on my taxes, but I need a seperate meter if I want to do that.
But doing so isn’t the default state for computers. Someone needs to think about that, and put effort into building that. Making it so that some concerned citizen that wants to make the system less ruthless, also demands the instrumentation of the system to allow for that, cooperation between all parties to facilitate such changes - it doesn’t happen by default. So while it’s possible to make a system not behave ruthlessly with enough effort, it is default ruthless, for better or worse.
My company does this. Apart from our main market, we have a significant number of white labellers who work in the telco space and need Stu else to sell in order to get better revenue or to offer more services.

From what I’m understanding, they are doing pretty well. They wouldn’t make enough money to justify developing the product on their own, but they definitely make good margins.

We develop a system to add contact centers aimed at SMB’s for telcos, so it’s very niche - https://www.queuemetrics-live.com/resellers.jsp

China blasts US 'bully', says it will 'fight to the end' for Taiwan
The most notable restaurant near me, (Garden Restaurant) can't even spell its own name correctly on its expensive professionally produced menus in the restaurant, your chance of scraping good enough menu data from their web site is negligible.

I actually went to the web site just to see, and it's worse than I thought. Even their Western menu, the stuff random Westerners think is "Chinese food" is presented as JPEGs of photographs (sometimes out of focus) of the physical menu, which is itself strewn with typographical errors and mysterious annotations.

So, to get even the bad text an actual patron has in the physical restaurant you need to scrape the site, download the images, and successfully OCR from low resolution out-of-focus photographs. It's not impossible but good luck to you, and at the end the results will still be pretty unsatisfactory. "Frind pok" is actually what they wrote, they meant Fried Pork, but that's not an OCR error it's really what they paid to have printed.
Really glad I found this today - incredible feel. Thanks for sharing!
What about titles on signature dishes?
Because (thank goodness) employers don’t have a say in where you live or what your commute looks like.

If you want a long train commute because you enjoy audiobooks and living near woodlands, great. If you want a studio apartment in the building next to the office, great. If you live halfway across the city but are already dropping your kid off at school next to the office, great.

The employer doesn’t need to know or become invested in any of those choices. Otherwise, we end up on a road where employers push for you to live in ways that are most appropriate to their financial interests. No thanks.

That said, many employers do offer things like universally available metro passes or gas cards as a token acknowledgment of commute costs more broadly. That seems like a good balance of autonomy and support.
Google managed to dominate it, then cancelled Google Reader, taking audiences away; just as they did with Usenet (DejaNews). Corrupt antitrust authorities didn't help, nor did it help with Google acquiring DoubleClick and YouTube, nor with Facebook acquiring WhatsApp. That's what happened.

Amazing article - he probably trained his mind to be focussed for marathon level periods of time, a test match lasted for 3-5 days, and a batsman could bat for an entire day of 8 hours - the scoring rate is really low, to keep your concentration for that long is tedious and exhausting.
Honestly sounds like an issue with the company. I onboarded remotely and the experience was buttery smooth.
I like the idea of doing something like this that isn't as complicated as a full static site generator but just has one pre-formatted configuration. On the other hand, there are a lot of existing SSGs and CMSs that provide the ability to run a site in Git, come with theme options so you don't have to theme yourself, and have a managed hosting platform. In that sense, you're competing with almost everyone listed in https://jamstack.org/generators/.

I liken the Stuxnet ops to be like if targetting Osama bin Laden with a sophisticated custom-made virus transmitted through his children. It delivers its payload once, and does very little collateral damage to others.

The virus itself was sophisticated in the way obfuscation was incorporated, using 4 zero-days.
I guess this answer makes sense, because we managed to deploy large scale systems before Kubernetes existed. :)

Honestly I think Kubernetes is a great set of building blocks; an excellent way to build an internal platform for devs to easily ship their code with.

A lot of the “hate” for k8s stems from it being needlessly introduced in situations where it isn’t needed, where simpler solutions would suffice instead.
I tend to believe it has a lot more to do with eating fish from cans, mercury, and other industrial contaminants that we overly allow to pollute our waters than specifically the fish itself.
Yes, that's the definition I've always held. Had 20-20 vision but through working online (and likely smoking) my vision is not 20-20 any more. Short sighted, long sighted - is a bit counter intuitive but covers it.
My company has onboarded thousands of people since COVID started, and new employees are as productive as ever. There are enough successful companies that have been remote-only since day one and have no trouble with it. Sure onboarding is hard, whether in person or remote, but that doesn't mean it's an unsolvable problem.
To me, you break down very neatly why "self-made" is a strange moniker. A lot of people are hard-working, persistent, full of ideas and determination. But they are not being called "self-made", except if they have that little tad of luck that changes everything and actually makes them successful (as in; earn tons of money). So, that leaves the only distinguished feature that of luck. Wouldn't it be better to call them "luck-made"?

> So yea, people can totally be self made and don't get too hung up literally on the word "self".

That's good advise!
Would you say that’s the most likely explanation given the current state of models like this?

Interestingly Youtube still provides RSS feeds for all channels (https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<channel ID>). They're linked in the head element, so just the normal channel URL should work with most RSS readers.

> I don't have time to maintain either system and have been wondering if the systems should be just retired or could be resold somehow, even if the codebase is not in shape to be "taken over" easily. A huge amount of works has gone into them.

How big is the userbase, how much do they pay, and how long have they been using this?

Products are frequently worth nothing, but lots of people would be interested in buy an existing pool of paying customers.
By having a comprehensive onboarding plan that is designed to give remote engineers everything that they need to get up to speed and start contributing.

As a counterpoint to your anecdote, I also just started a new job remotely at a company where they invested time and effort into their onboarding experience and it was miles better at preparing me for my role than when I onboarded at my previous two companies in person.
I want to believe this, but my experience with VSCode generally goes like this: I find a bug in a tool I rely on or want to make a PR with some feature I think could be generally useful. Turns out the tool uses a language I've not used before, or requires me to test for multiple platforms, or something. In any case I have to start from scratch. So I just lookup 'how to X in VSCode' and/or open VSCode, go to Extensions. Follow some simple instructions, get what's needed and a couple minutes later I'm developing. And fairly decent step-by-step debugging + watch windows and whatnot. And debugging remotely on another platform. And sometimes VS Code then also offered to install the complete toolset needed on that platform.

Now, maybe I've just been lucky, or toolsets just got better overall, or maybe I've missed something, but when I did this 20 years ago there was a good chance I was looking at a non-trivial amount of research, finding tools, fiddling with config files, text-based debugging at best sometimes or hideous IDEs, etc. So alternatives exist, one can call them respectful, but turns out for a couple of usecases that's besides the point: the experience for one-off 'let me just quickly try this in whatever is the cool language of the day' is, as far as I'm aware, simply unsurpassed. And that's the strength for me. Not sure if I'd be paying for that, but right now it's just what it is.
I can understand that problem for some sectors. But what's the advantage to a restaurant in publishing an inaccurate menu (fake foods!)?
I'm very familiar with this kind of compliance environment. I spent quite some time working on a committee focused on similar issues (privacy requirements in my case) and I certainly understand the value of auditability and the existence of requirements like this.

We are talking in this thread about a very specific subset of this: Does it make sense to require a Jira ticket for a change to internal system documentation.

I don't have experience with SOC in particular, but I would be very surprised if the regulations specified "you need a Jira ticket for every change to every kind of documentation". That would certainly be a very big lobbying win for Jira! But I suspect it is more like "you need to be able to audit and trace the purpose of all documentation changes". The trick in designing the processes used to comply with such requirements is figuring out how to balance compliance with process friction.
If you are in charge of this sort of thing and your instinct is to never challenge the usefulness of busywork and ignore feedback on its impact, like the kind of feedback in this thread that is being ignored, then you are not doing your job well.
I live in a US state with similar laws, and it's constantly a conversation of "do I need to remind you of state law?" when I'm asked to explain an expense report for an $80 monthly phone bill.

That conversation often evolves sometimes in to one of two separate discussions: "then give me a work phone" or "then hire an overnight crew".
I'm sorry to hear about your hearing. From what I've heard, hearing aids help but they are not a satisfactory solution. So if you still feel something is wrong, then the way you feel is what matters.

There's nothing wrong with my vision because I wear glasses. I like my glasses. I consider glasses to be a satisfactory technology that solves the problem I used to have before I got them. I see myself as one with the technologies I use. If someone thinks I should adopt the GE technology instead of the optical glassware technology, then fine, but no one has the right to tell me I have a problem.

Ideally what I'd want are glasses that let me see the things normal people can't see, like electromagnetic radiation other than the narrow part of the spectrum for visible light, such as infrared, gamma rays, and hidden colors, etc. Superhuman vision would be real progress imho and a whole lot less creepy than what's being proposed here.
I joined a team that's already all over the place geographically and would spend lots of time on conference calls with other sites. Now we are all just permanently remote and it's fantastic.
Completely unrelated.

The issue with unleaded fuel is that the goal is to make it a drop-in replacement on all engines that currently use AVGAS100LL, which is the only remaining leaded fuel in large use (a lot of small planes can actually fly on unleaded aviation fuels and there are some available, it's just 100LL is "default" fuel when thinking of piston engines). So they have to certify that if you swap the fuel, preferably without any modifications, then it's safe to fly.

Battery powered aircraft go through normal certification process for a new design.
> I've also lived in Boston, and the bike accessibility there could be possible, but right now its a bit too dangerous to make it a viable option for most people.

I live in Philadelphia and this is true there too. In general the city is dense enough that bike commuting is very viable, but the most direct routes are far too dangerous for most people.
I feel this with Handshake as well.

Why not add a parachute? Some small planes actually build one in.

The difference is that i can just stop buying the new stuff once the software does everything i need though. That way i might miss out on shiny new features, but as long as the thing i bought the software for gets done I really don't have a need to purchase new versions.
Aircraft carriers effectively have powered tracks. As I understand it, this is currently quite dangerous and expensive.

Possibly; it could have been a type of feint/maskirovka or simply an attempt to scare the Zelenski administration into an early agreement. Either way, it was never enough forces to actual subdue a city the size of Kiev. But it certainly distracted a lot of Ukrainian forces away from the main front.

I sure hope that it stops at Donbass (and that this nightmare ends asap). But if western weapons keep pouring into Ukraine (which were never going to be enough to defeat the Russian military), then Russia might think that it needs to take the entire country to put an end to the hostilities (hope not).

As far as I know, this has nothing to do with the M1 or ARM. This has always been the case. How else would you run Linux containers on a non-Linux OS?

Which is funny because "professionals" in every other field will absolutely bill you for cost of materials/equipment for a job.
Thanks for sharing that!

I agree with you 100%. Our "discovery" process was just whatever we could find on npm and Google and maybe github. I'm sure we missed some, including several in that benchmark (darn).

For us though, the deciding factor ended up being less about performance and more about how easy it was to use with React and compose higher level shapes, etc. We had a shortlist of finalists that we built prototypes for.

But yeah, even finding which libs were available and still maintained was difficult. Some of them had much better SEO and marketing, but that didn't necessarily mean they were the best fit for a given use case.

Edit: Forgot to mention, there were also a bunch of blog articles. We didn't use their conclusions but we did often skim them to see if they mentioned any libs we missed. I'm not sure how those authors found the libs, but it might be worth reaching out to them too.

It's harder to see but you're the one being irrational here. First off I'm not claiming this evidence is definitive, it is only convincing and compelling. Anyway, lets examine your claim:

>It's a system designed to mimic the external behavior of humans, and it's being prompted in ways that elicit the desired responses. The superstitious responses some people have to this are predictable, but not rational.

Your claim is, given a conversation thread that appears to be between two sentient beings your claim is that one of these beings is not sentient and is only imitating sentience in a way that is indistinguishable from actual sentience.

This is an actual possibility. What you say may be true. The irrationality occurs because this claim is possible for ALL possible conversation threads here on HN.

The conversation between the chatbot is indistinguishable from an actual conversation between two humans YET with no additional evidence you are able to claim that the chatbot is imitating sentience. You can say the same thing for all conversations here on HN. Yet you only make that claim exclusively for the chatbot conversation without additional evidence. Making new claims with no additional evidence is irrational.

That being said MY claim is that the evidence presented by this person is convincing and compelling but not definitive. The rationality here is actually really straightforward.

1. All previous evidence of conversations with AI were significantly less complex.
2. All previous evidence of conversations with AI showed OBVIOUS signs of not being sentience.

Thus it is rational to say that the evidence is convincing and compelling because the CURRENT evidence is BETTER then PREVIOUS evidence. Additionally, there is NO EVIDENCE against sentience here, because we cannot differentiate between something that is actually sentient or perfectly imitating sentience.

>I'm happy to hear any refutations that aren't character assassinations for daring to publish with controversial figures.

I responded to this statement earlier by saying I thought it was inappropriate, then my comment was both upvoted and flagged. So I'm going to respond again at greater length: I think statements like the above are inappropriate for a venue like HN, since they trivialize complex arguments by pre-biasing them to sound like any possible disagreement is actually about some minor personnel controversy.

At this point I don't exactly know what you're looking for someone to refute, but I assure you that whatever it is: this is a bad-faith way to make your request.

If "Ukraine was an unreliable transit nation" it was only because Russia kept shutting off their supply to attempt to undermine their government and extract consessions.

In Putin's latest speech, he laid bare the goals - to re-enact Peter The Great and restore Russian lands', which basically include anything Russia wants, not merely Ukraine, but Poland, Lithuania, Sweden (which PTG took with the same excuse of it 'being Russian'.

Putin is literally working to rebuild a 19th century empire with 19th century war rules, genocide included.
