> Sorry but managed k8s is really simple ...

If you need a service to manage K8s for you, then that's a red flag already (regarding K8s, not you personally.) If the service is so complicated that experienced engineers tell me constantly that only managed K8s is the way to do it, that tells me enough about why it's going to be a rough journey that should probably be avoided with IaaS or PaaS.

> ... and wildly a better pattern than just running VMs.

I've never had an issue running VMs, personally. And when I join a firm and begin helping them, I find I can very quickly and easily come up to speed with their infrastructure when it's based on straight IaaS/SaasS/PaaS. If it's K8s, it's often way more complicated ("Hey! We should template our YAML configs and then use Ansible to produce the Helm charts and then run those against the infra!" - ha ha!)

Ask HN: Anyone ever consider bringing a coding exercise for the interviewers
Someone was asking how to determine the quality of coding practices at places they are interviewing. My mind went on a tangent wondering if it is fair for interviewees to bring a coding exercise for the interviewers to complete. I've heard that interviews are an opportunity for both sides to interview each other? So does the interviewee have an equal opportunity to determine how the interviewers work through problems by presenting their own exercise for the interviewers to complete, and therefore gain insight on the company's practices?

I've never heard of anyone doing this before and I don't think it would be well received. Has anyone done this? For anyone who conducts interviews what would you think if someone did this?

Culture is a shifting beast.

Being courteous means trying to think on behalf of the other person.

However, as we interact with ever increasing numbers of individuals with an ever increasing variety of backgrounds and personal circumstance, it’s increasingly impossible to think on behalf of everyone we interact with.

And therefore it makes sense that we all need to design and configure mechanisms, that allow us to interact while keeping stress levels somewhat manageable.

I think at scale, K8s is a good choice. I run a Discord server with like, 3,400 members now, and some of them are working at mental scale. They've claimed the same as you: K8s at scale is the only way.

I would very likely agree in all cases.

However, they only represent 4-5 users out of all 3,400. And that's the issue - only a small fraction of the industry operates at that scale :-)
> studied real hard for ten years

Somewhat related thought. I wonder about this with regard to AGI, I have this fantasy of a symbiote/friend thing. But it is not easy to make that. I don't know if I have the real/actual drive to do it. I'm also a mediocre programmer/developer. That kind of passion where you do it every free moment of your time/not monetary based. It is not for me. I tinker on CRUD stuff/low-end robotics on my free time. So yeah not sure of effort vs. talent/genius.

I'm not convinced this adds up. The total commercial hydrogen production capacity in Europe for a day would power a grand total of 21 fully-fuelled 737's. You're talking about multiple hydrogen plants, as big as the current biggest, at every airport, just to satisfy the basic energy requirements.

The energy in a full 737 is roughly equivalent to 85000m3 H2. To take a worst case look, there are about 1300 flights per day out of Heathrow. That means you need to generate or supply 110,000,000m3 H2 per day.

Total production capacity per day, today, across all of Europe, looks about 42,000,000m3, across about 150 plants. The biggest of those makes 3,240,000m3 per day. So to supply Heathrow alone with enough H2 to supplant conventional fuels you need 34 of the biggest hydrogen plants we've currently got, and a power supply of at least 13.7GW.

Storage is the least of the worries here. And to head off any criticisms about Heathrow being an outlier, I'm happy to talk about milliheathrows as a comparison unit for other airports; it doesn't make the overall picture much happier.
> Something as simple and trivial as loading a 64-bit immediate into a register is a 10-byte instruction in x86...

It will only take a 10 byte instruction if you can't zero- or sign-extend from a 32-bit immediate. Of course, if you were on ARM or most RISC processors, such an immediate likely requires at least two instructions anyways.

From paging through an objdump output of a large program, I'd hazard that average instruction size is about 4 bytes, maybe a touch shy of that. After all, instructions like "add rax, rbx" is going to be 3 bytes (two if you're only using 32-bit registers!).

> Their current top of the line decoder is IIRC 5-wide.

Looking at wikichip for the block diagram [1], that's 5 instructions per 16-byte window.

> In a particularly influential article, Emily Bender, Timnit Gebru, and colleagues ...

This quote was included to virtue signal. It assured the article would be garbage.

The thesis (buried a dozen paragraphs in) is

> I suggest much of what large pre-trained models do is a form of artificial mimicry.
> Here’s the thing about mimicry: It need not involve intelligence, or even agency.
> a kind of biological mimicry that can be seen as solving a matching problem
> Artificial mimicry in large pre-trained models also solves a matching problem
> We also need a better understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the performance of large pre-trained models to show what may lie beyond artificial mimicry.

Wait what? The whole thesis is that AIs are parrots. But parrots are living intelligence creatures.....

But the entire argument is smuggled in on the assumption

> Parrots repeat phrases without understanding what they mean

This is really simple and boring.

Parrots, "parrot". Parroting isn't understanding. AIs, "parrot". therefore AIs dont understand

The novel contribution is zero, and all this has already been refuted and death marched.

AGI is inevitable because computation is universal and intelligence is substrate independent.
Yeah, similarly in mathematics they often like to build everything up from ‘implies’ where the rule is implies(a,b) = or(not(a), b) = nand(a,nand(b, b)).
For one thing, the PRUs require TI’s bloated mess called CCS and knowing C whereas the PIO assembly can be written in Python. What’s really innovative is the ability to get PRU-like functionality on a literal $1 IC. Sure, you only get 32 instructions per state machine, but not everyone needs full blown ARM cores for real-time.
I recently tried to run Sigrok on a Windows 11 PC with the Salea clone and I could not find a version that did not crash on the second capture. It seems to run fine on my Mac. So I was flashing the board Windows (due to the new serial to USB chips not being supported under Monterey).

If you run Win11 it might be worth writing a small fast native dedicated capture and display application like this.
Just learn both. SQL is not that big unless you want to go full analyst / dba. Spend some time on it and treat it more like regex - you can look things up if you need it. The this or that choice as you explain it doesn't feel right.
I'd consider knowing how to use the API to configure services and deploy new services to be a good definition of "working knowledge". You're right that everyone doesn't need to know the ins and outs of everything for sure, but if you observe at your company that everyone is relying on "the Kubernetes guy" to do everything related to Kubernetes, you've just re-invented an old-school ops team in an especially brittle way.
Do you like the M11 plus?

Music is very important to me. I'm considering the WM1ZM2, but I've seen a lot of great reviews about the FiiO and Surfans - but the F20 doesn't have Bluetooth (ok if LDAC and AptXhd are supported) and the F35 doesn't have USB-C.

The M11 plus has both BT+ USB-C, along with hardware buttons. If it can give me better audio and battery life than the WM1ZM2, I'm interested!
Do you actually make things, or is this just rent-seeking idea squatting?
Young black males are massively overrepresented when it comes to murder convictions.

Are you suggesting that murders committed by other racial groups are routinely going unpunished, or that random blacks are framed for them instead of the real perpetrators?

Because if neither, your thesis about profiling does not hold water. You cannot "profile" people as murderers. They either did that or not.

I don't doubt that there are some false convictions for murder even today, but either:

a) blacks are really massively overrepresented among the murderers (and victims), or, if they are not,

b) there is a nationwide conspiracy either not to investigate and punish non-black murderers, or to frame innocent blacks for them, that reaches the level necessary for massive manipulation of U.S. crime stats.

B) would be an extraordinary claim that would need extraordinary evidence.

Like the other commenter said, the current Republican framing of "it's not us that changed, it's liberals!" is revisionist nonsense. All of the previous most popular Republicans in the last 15 years, Bush Jr (president), Romney, McCain (presidential nominees) all despised Trump, the current direction of the far right usurping the party, and are/were basically voting Democrat now because they're scared of the far right's threat far more than centrist Obama/Biden positions.

React would be the V in MVC, no?

I mean, even Vue takes its name from that (pronounced "view").
If you built it, yes. For everyone else, no. Bespoke systems inevitably become their own custom frameworks. And knowledge of them doesn't transfer as well.

This isn't always a bad thing. It offers maximum control and possibly shallower dependency trees. Personal job security as well. At the cost of slower onboarding.

Wow, this is complete opposite of America. I have run several bars/restaurants and most of our money came from alcohol sales. Food was still profitable, but much tighter margins. A lot more labor goes into the food side of the business too, and we couldn't get away with marking things up 4x like you can with wine.

I think as you get into Michelin-starred places, the name of the chef and the quality of the food is enough to allow you to charge more, and also to cheap out on labor - some of the top restaurants in Chicago collude to pay their cooks $10-12/hr, for example.
Musicians often talk about songs appearing to them to the point they feel like they can't take credit for 'writing' them. They just appear out of nowhere and are finished in an hour or so.

IME music written this way feels more organic and natural vs 'trying' to write a song over a long time period
spiped is amazing. I remember looking for something to use Kivaloo for when TFA came out, but I don't have any need for what it offers
So, because you yourself get no joy from alcohol, it frustrates you and makes you "uneasy" to see any situation where others do? Consequently, anything that forces them to consume much less is a good thing? Why? Why should others' personal pleasure bother you in the first place? I comment because this is a sadly selfish attitude that's far too common among many people about many things.
Of course, we can put a launchMissiles inside useEffect, so of course UI is not pure function of model in React. That's why there's PureComponent in React which disallowed state or effects.

From a purely practical perspective, it's rarely useful to ask about layoffs. You're unlikely to get an honest answer, and even if you were, how much trust can you put in it? All you do is signal that you're someone who "lacks commitment."

You just have to keep your eyes open all the time, make a judgement about how much sense things make, and make your own decisions on when things seem off.

Those turtlenecks.

Anyway, the article mentions:

> He [chief product officer] said the company was "very well funded" with no liquidity problems. While he noted that its 2022 financial results were "below budget," he said that this had been caused by macroeconomic conditions, including a supply crisis and the Ukraine conflict. The executive urged employees to focus on product and tech infrastructure improvements in preparation for the "next bull run."

This is exactly the same line given by every single business. Even the White House does it. This is due to Ukraine, supply shock, and macroeconomic factors. As if this didn't matter. As if that meant that whatever is happening can be ignored. Don't worry, nothing to see here. It's just special, highly unusual circumstances.

Except it does matter. No matter how well you wear the turtleneck eventually reality matters. Mean-reversions from bubbles matter. They are inevitable and they are painful. It's never "contained," no matter how much leadership wants you to believe it. Gear up.

Whilst it's generally applied to self-identified feminists whose concept of feminism excludes transpeople as a matter of fact, and even the "radical" bit is more a nod to how second-wave feminists approached politics rather than mockery, if a term is pretty much exclusively applied to an outgroup by people who really don't like that outgroup (and the acronym itself is pretty much exclusively pejorative) there's a pretty good case for it being offensive. Especially in a debate over identity.

Don't see any reason to use euphemistic terms they'd prefer like "pro-women" over the more accurate "trans-exclusionary" or "anti-trans" to refer to their politics, but when a position gets converted into a four letter noun to shout at people it's definitely intended to offend. There are variants of the neutral/positive descriptor "trans" which are unambiguously insults too.

The post common cause of iron deficiency anemia in menstruating females is menorrhagia. Celiac disease is often an acquired disease in later adult hood.

This is not to comment or challenge directly your case but knowing the two above facts it is not uncommon (in fact I have personally seen this in practice) where your above outline is perfectly reasonable.

A woman may have multiple reasons or a sequence of reasons for IDA, developing celiac later in adulthood - it’s totally possible they had chronic blood loss anemia before that.

Another article I read called the pub "England's living room". It fits the stories my brother told as he used to work in England (we're from the Netherlands). He'd describe that workers would immediately continue to the pub after work, after which their wife would bring a home-cooked meal directly to the pub. And the children might visit for an hour or so too.

Anyway, different times. Some trends I'm spotting in the Netherlands that I suspect would also apply to the UK:

Young people drink far less than before. When they do drink, they may first home drink cheaply and only then attend a pub (or club) extremely late at night. Others rarely attend a pub at all and prefer infrequent big events like concerts, where often they pop a cheap XTC pill and drink two sodas.

And yet another group are truly "digital natives", my nephew is one of them. Their idea of a great Saturday night is to play a multiplayer game online. They never go anywhere, they rarely ever meet new people.

Still, it's not just young people. Over here middle-aged (and older) people also seem to come far less than before. I think this has to do with life being so damn fast and busy, it's much different compared to a few decades earlier.

You can't really stop it, times change. Still it saddens me to see another socially important physical place go the way of the dodo.

Well said. I'm actually laughing at both the extreme delusional anti-crypto folks and the extreme pro-crypto folks since they will both be disappointed with their vision(s) of either all of them being destroyed or all projects succeeding.

Not all these projects will survive, 90% of crypto projects will die, just like the 90% of these startups failing and the fact that we are seeing the many projects and startups getting wiped out in this crash, like the dotcom crash we will see the projects that have utility continue to survive this crash.

Like in the replies to your comment, many of the angry anti-crypto folk continue to fall into the absolutism trap and the only absolute that exists: is none. Just look at the free software-foundation, after 37 years of fighting the likes of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc of trying to get rid of all non-free software, it has completely failed and the tech bros have hijacked the point of open-source. It has gotten so bad in that realisation that there are now tech bros that are branded as 'traitors' in this noble conquest of ridding all non-free software.

Now the tech-bros are screaming at destroying all crypto-projects towards the crypto-bros. Destroying 'all of them' doesn't seem to be going well for them and they are no better than the crypto maximalists in aiming for this goal.
