I think "Could I do better/more?" is just a dumb question. As an employee, I have no plans to ever ask that of myself again. I'll get some things done that I set out to do, sometimes they'll take more or less time than I think, and the rest is either neutral or margin. There's no point in doing more. But you're right, you need a measure of what the right amount is, and I think that varies and can be hard to pin down.
It's not that made up. 5950X used 120-140 W and I expect the 7950X to use 210-230 W. AMD said that the increased multicore performance comes from a higher power limit.
Yes. It feels like a clusterf*ck to me.
Same reason why universal health care is controversial: "I don't use as much as them, why should I pay for their use?"

This is nonsense. Climate change isn't science because it's not falsifiable. Next.
The article almost gets to this point when they touch on the idea that "People still play Chess even though people can't win against computers" but

1) People don't do things just because it means a Job for them
2) New Jobs will be created to work through the vacuum left by new Tech
2.B) We'll sooner-or-later have to grasp with a different conceptualization/organization of how we allocate the resources for human life (Food, Shelter, Community)... or else. (Apply this sentiment for anything we can do to earn our livelihoods, Art is not exceptional in this regard)

I see technologies like Dall-e being GREAT for capital A Art, in that I wholeheartedly believe our current system Art is worse-off than it otherwise could be. If 'Artist' stopped being a 'job', that'd be a good thing. The more 'Work' we eliminate from human life the closer we get to a place where our hand is forced to change, and in my view, for the better.
Or, you know, I could stay at the same company I’ve been working for for more than 20 years that pays me a hefty six figure salary and I maybe put in 30 hours of work a week.
Google by not answering is giving a clear message: if you test positive, even if you are then cleared out of all wrongdoings, you are going to be banned for life. So better be extra careful and don't even take children's pictures, even if your own or in perfectly valid scenarios.
After losing my father I realized I have only one desire in life and that is to spend time with my family.

BBC quoted a Pakistan government official as saying 1/3 of the country is currently underwater. Even if that’s hyperbole, and I’m not sure it is, the scale of devastation is immense.

So for a similar launch price you get >2x the performance, almost identical pcie bandwidth (4x28) and faster memory (less of it though). Seems pretty great to me?
Right? I mean if I can be tall without having long legs, surely I can be morbidly obese without having inflammation and insulin response disorder
There is a difference between art and illustration.

People consume art because they enjoy admiring the human talent that creates it, celebrating that some individuals are capable of extraordinary feats the vast majority of people are incapable of. It’s the same reason people watch sports—they enjoy admiring the top echelon of human physical ability. Very few people would watch Olympic Games performed by realistic androids.

On the other hand, most illustration exists for such mundane purposes that viewers never bother to consider the illustrator. Corporate Memphis [1] designers’ days are numbered.

That said, sometimes the two overlap. I’ve certainly ogled extremely good looking websites [2] or well-executed pieces of industrial design [3], implicitly admiring the human talent that created them. Perhaps the glut of human illustrator talent soon to enter the marketplace will kindle a design renaissance, with brands competing to distinguish themselves from the sea of DALL-E generated Corporate Memphis clipart, just as Apple distinguished itself from the sea of beige minitowers in the late 90s.

I accidentally left it in a voice channel one time and my friends heard a two hour long conversation between me and my partner. Barely used it since then. I have no idea what's happening in that app and I'm the generation that grew up with the internet.
Pretty fun post with specific examples of how current tech is not sufficient to take over his job. I have also found when trying to prompt for conceptually specific things (with layout and semantic aspects) it's not that good yet. Will it become massively better though? Probably, yes.

Aside from all that, I like the way the piece ended:
"Ai is a tool. What makes art is not a tool, it’s the will to make art. A machine doesn’t have will. A tool can transform art, improve it, expand it, not erase it. I’m very excited to see what those tools will bring to futur artists. I’m not worried they will steal our jobs. I mean ok, maybe just a little bit deep down haha, but not in the short or mid term at least, that I’m sure of :)"
Check out the .subscribe-dialog-pill CSS style. It's a combination of the z-index: 1 and position: fixed (I believe).

I know nothing about Substack's CSS/JS rules. But I do believe that the behavior is controlled in the CSS style I mentioned.
Intel barely supports this anymore to me, and their SRIOV support has not been publicized anywhere from what I can see beyond a commit on GitHub. Furthermore, they are not including this on Arc dGPUs from my understanding, so I imagine Intel is moving this to datacentre GPUs only as well.
The people you're forcing to pay for yours can move to another state.
> I'm working on a food ordering app.

Just use SMS (enter phone number, text me a code, enter the code). They'll need to provide a phone number for the food provider or deliverer to contact them anyway.

> Password managers may or may not work in an app.

Password managers work fine with apps.

> Implementing password auth (as well as registration, password-reset/etc) is not trivial.

You absolutely shouldn't roll your own user management or authentication at this point. It's extremely difficult to write such a system securely from scratch, and there are a million SaaS products that do it.

Auth0 is respected, well-known, and not expensive[1]. The admin UI for devs is sometimes annoying, but their support is excellent and free.

> Do I need to authenticate users at all?

...Maybe. You need some way for users to recover their order history if they lose their phone, for example. Perhaps there's a way you can get a unique identity through the Stripe process, not sure.

Also people look busy for all the wrong reasons. It’s a ridiculous rule of thumb. Like the ‘he did $1M of damage on his first day, why fire him, I spent $1M’ training him’. The odds are the new hire is a fool who will repeatedly make costly mistakes.
This seems to be equating copying with performance. They're not the same thing, and for most artists in recorded media, it's performance royalties that generate their primary income.

If you wanna change that, find some other way to compensate artists first. They are the value creator. Attacking the bloated middlemen in the delivery chain doesn't remove the need for creators to eat. That is VidAngel's moral failure, as least going by the scenario as described: they weren't returning value to where it came from, instead tried to create a legal fiction to justify rent-seeking behaviour.
> It is affirming the stereotype Indian males lack confidence with women

Only people overly and unnecessarily obsessed with race could say such a thing. Rest assured, the rest of us just see a person. It's almost like you can't even imagine that there could actually exist a man who has problems speaking to women and just happens to be Indian.

Edit: and in case it escaped your attention, all the main characters lack confidence with women, this just manifests differently in each character. Raj's background is relevant only in your mind.

> Raj can’t speak with women without the use of alcohol

Sounds consistent with the previous character trait, but this doesn't sound consistent with the stereotype you're so concerned about. It's almost like Raj is not just a stereotype character.

> the show constantly mocks his accent,

It's almost as if accents cause humourous misunderstandings in real-life that people can relate to. Weird. Not sure why that's "mocking" exactly, but I've surmised that you're pretty sensitive about this stuff so I'll chalk it up to that.
> And that is all good if the developer is qualified and has time to review your work.

That's me. I'm the person that most often needs to go back into my code, six months later. I write code that I want to use, and that I want to see, months afterwards. I actually don't give a damn if I never get a single star on my repos. In fact, the fewer people that use it, the better. I still write every library as if it will be used by first responders, as I have pretty high standards.

I'm also insane about testing. If you look at those repos, you'll see that the testing code (either unit, or harness), far outweighs the code under test. Most of my test harnesses are App Store-ready full-fat applications, with localization, and documentation.

But I am not reinventing Facebook. I write end-user native apps for Apple systems. I don't have the same needs as someone writing a massive social media server.

Like I said, I do what I do, and it works for me. Your mileage may vary.
>even if you are honest and ethical and magically choose to do it, no one else ever does

That's right, literally no employer ever does right by their employees in tough times except for this one HN commenter.

Or to put it non sarcastic, it's entirely possible for an employer not to be a bastard, even if it is less common than the opposite.
> crypto is still completely non-viable as a real medium of exchange

There are some projects which are attempting to fill in the "TradFi" gaps and support clawback at the protocol level.

I am aware of at least this project but I believe there are others.

> Increases in monetary mass inflate the prices mostly uniformly.

I've heard this argument against QTM several times, but it is not entirely what is predicted by QTM. If we take Cantillon's explanation for how increases in the quantity of money affect prices[1], he suggests something completely different - the things which go up in price first are luxuries and stocks (things purchased by those who have early access to the new money, who are by large, already wealthy) - then it is the providers of those luxuries who are next to access the new money, and the goods they purchase are next to become inflated. The inflation does not happen over night, or uniformly, but is gradual. It might be the case that prices rises become uniform eventually, but as the process is on-going there are some commodities which are affected before others.

Energy in particular impacts every industry, so there is no doubt that any rise in energy prices will be similarly met with price rises in all goods sold by any company which now must have additional energy expenditures. They will increase the price of the goods they sell to compensate. So while energy prices might be way ahead of other price rises now, it won't be long until the price of everything else follows. It's going to get much worse yet.

The usual argument against QTM is that it is monetary velocity, not money supply, which is the leading factor in inflation. However, as evidenced by Lyn Alden[2], there is no long-term correlation between inflation and monetary velocity. There is a very difficult to miss correlation between money supply and inflation though.

> I believe they were fully measured and calculated

Not sure if you have been reading the news for the past couple of years, but the narrative pushed by the media and central banks has shifted quite dramatically over that period. These are just a few select headlines, but you can get the picture without me providing an exhaustive list.

- "Our best view is that the effect on inflation will be neither particularly large nor persistent."[3] (Jerome Powell)

- "I doubt we are going to see an inflationary cycle." [4] (Janet Yellen)

- "Experts Agree: Inflation is Transitory, Manageable"[5]

- "It’s official – inflation is no longer transitory"[6]

- "Why Did Almost Nobody See Inflation Coming?"[7]

- Inflation is a good thing![8]

OTOH, this armchair economist here predicted what would happen over 2 years ago, and unsurprisingly, it happened (is happening)[9] (May 1, 2020)

Yeah not me… I always wonder what is going on in movies when the character immediately recognizes themselves.
> Smallpox has been around for millenia and has caused epidemics with significant mortality

No argument there. But "significant mortality" is not a percentage. Accurate records were not made or kept in a way that would provide a percentage. In the case of the American population, there are no records. Just WAGs (Wild-Ass Guesses).

> The idea that something about the genetic diversity or lifestyles of the indigenous populations of the Americas is frankly ridiculous.

Really? It's true for every other population. Do you not know that city dwellers are far more susceptible to epidemics than rural or nomadic tribes? Did you know that Covid infection rates vary from state to state, country to country, in ways that defy easy explanation?

> Especially given the numerous and consistent first hand reports that Smallpox and other diseases ravaged the native population.

What first hand reports in North America? In South America, do you really believe the Spanish Conquistadors kept accurate epidemiological records?

> Do you?

Yes. To compute a percentage you need a numerator and a denominator. The denominator in this case would be the population of two continents, which nobody has any idea of.

If Covid has taught us anything, it is that childishly simplistic extrapolations of statistics across orders of magnitude are fraught with error, gross error, and catastrophic error.
So theoretically a medical sniffer could map the detailed microbiome of the body's toroidal surface and make useful bacterial gardening recommendations. Some eradication in the sweat glands, supplements for behind the ears and a transplant in the colon. Personalized medicine at centimeter scale.
Well taking only this thread as a datapoint... your list of censored news stories wasn't convincing. In what sense were any of those "censored"? I read all those cases being made on the internet. Are you naming editorial choice of what to publish "censorship"? I'm just confused.

Anecdotally from my own perspective, I see big waves of voting on HN that go in various political directions. Seems consistent with self-selection by topic combined with randomness.

None of it inspires confidence in your assessment of being "censored" on HN, or diagnosing the audience as less curious.
I'm all for having these models scrutinized for copyright violations (and possibly amending copyright laws), but this comment is nothing but low-effort FUD.
Congrats Garry, couldn't think of anyone better. Looking forward to where you take YC!
I'm not sure if I follow your line of thoughts correctly. I agree that yes, HTML parsing is well defined in current standard, but (subjectively, for me) it is far from "easy", given the amount of states and back-compat "burden" with plenty of often overlooked exceptions. (I like to explore them but I'd never try to make a compliant HTML parser from scratch, probably.)

I was in fact responding to

> […] I've learned, from building a [HTML] parser […] you need to select the title tag in the <head>-tag.

what gave me impression OP really rolls his own HTML parser and relies on some possibly dangerous assumptions that are not in fact granted (however well defined) by the specs — for me one of such assumption is especially "HTML parsing is easy" / "I understand HTML well enough to parse it myself" — and wanted to point out possible further gotchas wrt "selecting the <head>-tag" (e.g. that it may be hard when there is no <head> tags) or that "selecting the first title tag" could possibly not give the right one.

But maybe I'm just little slow and all those "Idiosyncrasies of the HTML parser" [1] are notoriously known. And sure, many scenarios could be waved out as unimportant border-cases, maybe.

As for querying the document, i.e. having the state when the document is ready and "something" did the parsing and tree heavy lifting for us (so we have DOM and JS) we can surely reach for ancient namespaced

document.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", "title")[0]?.textContent?.trim()

(hopefully there are no further details wrt comments, white-space normalization and entity expansion on top of raw textContent we should take care of) but it makes very little sense when there is `document.title` for this exact purpose.

Young kids are using discord all the time for their co-playing of games (Roblox, etc.)

It's a gamer-focused UI, if anything.

Old UIs from the days of text-based Internet were also 'flat'- the main difference is that Discord supports voice/video, no?
I remember when everyone switched from myspace to facebook. At the time, I wondered why people like fb more because the pages were more boring and standardized. At the end of the day, whoever claimed "we got tired of the flashy effects" were just themselves tired of the flashy effects. Somehow the boring people convinced designers that boring was more "professional" or something like that and the designers just changed everything and forced that change on most users. It's just another example of how I don't really believe everything is "market driven" but suppliers (in this case, designers) really can force changes of habit and consumption on users unilaterally if they have enough market share.
In the faq and in a few places on their page - https://doordash.news/get-the-facts/how-were-responding-to-a... - They mention users “where required”, anyone know what that means? Did they only tell users in jurisdictions that require informing them?
Same. A small subreddit I help moderate asked all the mods join discord.

I’ve zero clue what the hell is going on in that interface.

Long conversations happen in what seem like ephemeral spaces. There’s a bazillion channels… I don’t know where my attention should be.

Apparently the discord channel for the sub involves a lot of drama and BS but hell if I see it / I don’t really care…

I might end up just not being a mod so I don’t have to figure it out.
I'm familiar with sentence completion from GMail but I'm talking about thought completion. So for example in a programming IDE it's been true for awhile that it will suggest a name completion, but something new they are adding is suggesting the entire routine you are trying to write. I think CoPilot is even better at this.
The analogy is use is that renaissance masters had workshops with multiple apprentices who would do things like paint gross details according to the master's guidance, then the master would finish the work. I expect this will play out similarly.
Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies, generic tangents, and internet tropes.

Ask HN: Difficulties Managing a Remote Team?
Hi HN, looking for some advice from a CTO / Cofounder perspective.

I lead a team of about 15 entirely remote engineers and found it really challenging to manage.

Just for some context: my entire career has been in software as an IC and I wanted to create a team that I felt would be a great place for engineers to be.

This means: No micromanagement, very little processes, we don't spend a lot of time fiddling Jira tickets, no daily stand-ups, and hours are very flexible.

The result has been that I think 3/4 the team is excelling and I trust them 100% to get things done and stay productive. The other quarter of the team seem to just fall through the cracks, basically disappear for hours at a time during the day, always have a reason for why projects aren't shipping on time, consistently take longer to do tasks that other engineers finish.

Given they are remote, it's really difficult to know what folks are doing for large swaths of the day -- its making me consider the productivity tracking software, forcing strict ticketing, daily stand-ups, etc, but I feel thats really unfair to the other 3/4 of the team that are doing well.

Of course firing is an option, but this seems so wasteful -- months of onboarding time is lost.

Anyone else on the management side of this remote work shift have any advice?
First sentence just explains why the commenter is experiencing both adblocked vs not adblocked web.
IIRC, there are quite a few review networks set up like that. John Oliver's Drug Rehabilitation episode pointed out that the same thing happened with "independent" reviews of drug rehabs.
Just a shockingly bad idea... Europe has phenomenally dollar potential already, on the ground, and what it couldn't get there it could much more easily compensate for with arrays in countries to it's south.
God forbid it might have to work with other countries for some of it's energy. It's already doing that and would absolutely need to do that to ever be able to build this project anyways
>Trust, job security, growth opportunities, work life balance... they're all just words

Or not, if you have been at a good company where people got treated well, with good bonuses, great healthcare, tons of time off and job security during recessions and times when an unscrupulous company could have fired people.

A lot of people are asserting that companies and business owners are physically and psychologically incapable of anything except slitting throats at the earliest opportunity.
In a similar vein:

Don't think to teach, teach to think.

Don't think to implement, implement to think.

(Writing is less formal than coding, so there can still be flaws, ambiguities and imprecisions resident in your revised writing, but once you turn things into code, it will turn out to be taken to another level of clarity and precision needed.)
I'd argue we already have designer babies in the form of high-priced sperm donations, in vitrio fertilization, egg freezing, and gene therapy. Most people don't call those things that.

Ultimately, the issue is one of "designer babies" is one of marketing.
The Office isn't on Netflix US anymore. But I can still see that episode here in Canada.
