Yes, look up Donald Judd, the patron saint of Marfa Texas. Much of his art involved hiring tradesmen to produce his large aluminum or concrete boxes and shapes. I recommend checking out some of his exhibits if you are passing through, well worth the stop.
Photography of course evolved into an art discipline of its own. Along with it came billions of low effort terrible pictures. I'm expecting AI art to follow the same pattern. Amazing human lead compositions alongside generic pieces.
Trying to persuade others you're a great developer by writing blogs is how some people I know got cushy positions as CTOs making obscene amounts of money and equity.

I believe this is reasonable advice but I believe it can be simplified even further.

Live-coding in an interview be it in a text editor (shitty or otherwise - those web based platforms can be really painful and slow to use when sharing a screen with zoom, e.g.) or on a whiteboard is a skill, and I’m not sure it is one that is worth optimizing for because I’m not sure that this particular skill really has much to do with day-to-day software development. I am sure it doesn’t hurt to be able to perform in a foreign environment with someone judging you over your shoulder but I hope dev work in general possesses as little of this type of work as possible.

But you can simplify the problem considerably and ask someone to solve a fairly easy problem in just about any live coding fashion. To wit: I learned Java in school, spent some time at a job using other languages, then interviewed for an intermediate software developer position. The hiring manager asked me to write fizzbuzz in Java. I had never heard of the fizz buzz problem and I hadn’t written Java in some time. Still, I was able to successfully solve the problem with a minimum of difficulty (though admittedly a maximum of nerves). He asked me a few questions about how to improve the solution, and I mumbled some stuff about combining string concatenation statements instead of simply appending to the string, something which made him nod his head sagely and that I still consider to be a largely useless micro-optimization, but the main thing, the important part, is that I demonstrated some coding ability in a matter of minutes, right in front of his eyes.

It’s something that sticks with me and I think it’s a valuable type of interview question.

I got the job.

> It is that you don't like it, unless you know exactly what his goal is and are in an authoritative position to say it is impossible.

He is saying that his goal is to make humanity multi-planetary, so that it can survive a disaster that may happen to the earth.

This goal is impossible with anything resembling current technology. This is obvious if you think about it even for a little bit. So it's either a lie, or he hasn't thought about it for more than a little bit.

> You also are saying they're scams.

No I'm not. I'll repeat it again: SpaceX and Tesla are serious companies producing worthwhile products that people want. They have both broken ground in areas where no company has broken ground for a long long time, and they have generally left older companies in their spaces in the dust.

This doesn't mean that Musk doesn't try to present them as even more than they actually are, for purposes that I'm sure are part ego boosting, part clever marketing. He often outright lies while doing so, or promises impossible goals in impossible timelines.
We can make a very long chain saying vaguely related truism forth and back.

I have not understood most of that article (optifi, mainnet, solana, PDAs, deployer address, program, tvl, ...what?) but what I get from it is that people who run crypto-anything make costly mistakes.

Funny that people still ask me "hey, why do you trust those evil banks? you should do all in crypto instead!" and then laugh at me when I tell them I trust banks more than some random dev on the internet...
This man literally plays Rollercoaster Tycoon in real life. What an absolute legend!

I really admire (and envy!) people like this, they have a great passion for something, and they build it to enrich the world without selfishness and agenda.
Oh I totally agree. I anything this artwork deserves the prize for the conversations and controversies it'll generate. There's so many critics who'll get column inches out of slagging of AI art until things settle down.
> all mainstream languages have eager evaluation models

That is incorrect, e.g. Java Streams (Javas built in library for functional processing of data) are lazy, which can surprise beginners. You say it's just an std lib and not a lazy programming language? Ok, the much older (but just as lazy) C# linq is directly integrated in the C# language, making the C# language both eager and lazy by default, depending on which parts you use.
> It presupposes the known classier of good and bad arguments and then goes on to say bad arguments with data is worse than good arguments.

It does indeed assume that there's a way to learn bad arguments from good; and so the focus should be on learning what are good argument and what are bad.

> ...What makes a good argument if not empirical data?

Consider the following conversation:

A: We've done some numbers, and we've determined that there's a correlation between the number of firemen at a fire and the total damage done by the fire; with the fires handled by a single crew of three firemen doing the least damage. So we should limit all fire responses to a single crew to minimize damage.

B: That doesn't make any sense -- of course we send more firemen to bigger fires, and bigger fires cause more destruction! If we take your advice, those big fires will cause even more damage!

A: Hey, my argument is backed by empirical data; yours is just theoretical!

Like, sure, it might be even better if B had empirical data to back him up; but even without that data, B should be winning the argument here. And the argument of the article is that many people espousing "data-driven" approaches end up being like A: Not scrutinizing the logic that they're using to analyze the data, and not acknowledging the limitations of what the data collected can say.
Literally all nvidia has is the circuit design. They do not do any fabrication, and they get all their stuff made in taiwan.

The problem from the perspective of many Jews (including myself) is that these kinds of protests and protestors tend to focus on Israel to the exclusion of any other state. Where is the protest of Google's relationships with dozens of other countries accused of major human rights violations? The double standard when it comes to Israel calls into question the motivation behind the protest and makes many Jews reasonably wonder if it is actually anti-semitic (even when coming from fellow Jews).
Carbon Capture Just Got Way Cheaper
The temperature could be between 2 and 9.7°F (1.1 to 5.4°C) warmer in 2100 than it is today. Is this really a reason to rush out and hold on to land in Alaska?

There could very well be dozens of wars, pandemics, shortages and major shifts in culture between now and then.
And there are a fair number of (inconsistent) rules for casing. Proper nouns vs. common nouns. Camel case (or other non-standard capitalizations). Title case. "Standard" body copy.

lol, I'm just confused.

One of the reason's Apple has such a big lead, according to all the discussion I've seen here on HackerNews is that it's because Apple is on a newer chip process (5nm) whereas everyone is behind, and that if the competition was on a better process the differences wouldn't be as stark.

The reason Apple is using a better process is they are investing so heavily in TSMC so that the process can be improved, and for that investment they get sort of a "dibs" on production, which, honestly seems fair. It's not like Apple sees TSMC as a charity here and I don't think anyone could argue otherwise. Also, as is probably obvious with Apple using these chips in iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, Watches, and now Macs (A series, M series, etc) they might be one of the largest single customers of TSMC and to even be able to produce enough of those chips they need to buy production well in advance.

I don't know, people can claim unfair advantage all they want but looking at it from a business standpoint Apple is moving things forward.
Najs one!
> Sadly, I kind of doubt it would even be allowed, for liability reasons

Then maybe we need less liability laws? If I want to risk my life in a fun ride, and I'm ready to sign whatever waiver, I should be free to do that.

This could be a small step to help make universities fun again.
A major exception to this reasoning is performance. Argument driven performance suggestions are wrong more than 80% of the time and likely wrong by several orders of magnitude. You can’t know just how wrong you are without appropriate data.

This makes for a good litmus test of whether people are lying to you about software or, more likely, have absolutely no idea what they are doing.
As someone who regularly publishes npm packages [1], and have dealt with packages that do this, please don't.

At least not yet until ESM is fully supported by all parties in the ecosystem (node, V8, major libraries and frameworks). As of Sept 2022, we still have support issues with node (V8), TypeScript and jest. I have links to the issues in one of my GitHub repos[2].

Once you move past trivial hello world apps, it is literally impossible to run JavaScript in node in pure ESM because of various bugs and incompatibilities. The user of the library will hit "Cannot use import statement outside a module" error sooner or later.

There appears to be a formula to make it to the front page of HN. I haven’t entirely nailed down the specifics, but it’s nearly exclusively self-congratulatory drivel about how to adapt to the world/industry as an individual that’s Way Smarter Than Everybody Else.

I don’t know who these people are that write self help content that is optimized for making it to the front page of HN but if I had to bet, I would bet that their core competency is blog writing and appealing to developers, not coding.
The power of branding at work.
They are in no way equivalent in relative ease to quantify. Safety Regulations exist to protect from "known" harms. It is the result of learning from our past and applying that knowledge to our present and future. But anything in the unknown harms category is fundamentally unquantifiable. We know there are unknown harms out there. But we don't know

1) What they are

2) When they can happen

3) How many they could affect

You can't make decisions that help you avoid harms in that category. But you can make decisions in the other category. There is an argument that failing to build is for example in a category of known harms now. But so are a whole host of harms that we encountered to get where we are now. The trick is to make it easier to build while not also engaging in the rest of the known harms out there.
Is writing still important in today's world?
I accept that there are some people who are unusually great at coding, who are also able and willing to explain how they do what they do. What I'm skeptical about is how many of them are writing these things ... vs how many of the authors are more like me (aspirational, more or less mean well, and like to hear myself talk).

As for people who conscientiously study "great programmers" without being one of them ... I'm tempted to say (a) This kind of study can obviously be extremely interesting and worthwhile (e.g., Dava Sobel, Tracy Kidder, James Gleick, or John McPhee on scientists and engineers). But (b) It's still obviously going to mostly miss the real point for practitioners, as it isn't actual professional literature. Mostly.

I'm not really sure I get the comparison bar charts down below - it shows fylm.ai all the way to the right and the other ones... not, but it's not clear what it's showing and I thought smaller bar charts would be better if measuring speed / performance?

Also, why is there no information about the management team on the site? I've noticed that a lot more recently that companies are reluctant to post any information about the team. Is there a reason for that?
I was browsing the contest site and came across the description of the judge for the contest. I couldn't laugh harder.

Have you had a dream where it felt as if it was real? Do you feel the earth guide you to something that feels right? Have you felt a portal of some distant reality exist alongside of us?

Art has been a portal to channel my indigenous ancestors, where I slip under an emotional spinning vortex of creation. The makers of my blood flow through me. I channel the artisans, craft-makers, mud-dwellers, star-makers, dream-weavers and earth-brothers and sisters — the ones who paved the way and forged the path. My work carries spirit and my truth is in everything I create.

I worked at a BigCo for 5 years. 3/4 of our department was offshore and we generally did not interview them. It was more like our offshore vendor filled seats when they were empty and we would occasionally fire them.

One of the offshore folks was amazing so we offered him an on-shore position and moved him here. He told us insane horror stories about how the offshore team worked. Basically 1-2 people did all the work for everyone to turn in. The managers were in on it and sometimes were one of the few competent people who did the work. As he described it, it was corruption from top to bottom. We were paying for 10-15 workers but really getting 1-3.

Is this a C++ benefit, that the competing implementations GCC and LLVM give each other's extensions to the language more legitimacy by having a second implementation? It doesn't seem like language extensions get so much attention in C++ codebases (but maybe I'm mistaken)?
You're judging it on the outcome level, which is fair I guess - the soccer one probably had a better outcome for fairness. Although these days with live telecasts and such, you could probably still cheat in a similar manner with knowledge of how the other game is going.

Considering the number of people involved in the cheating though, it seems to me that the Austria/Germany one is much worse? Two entire squads, or at least the 11 players + substitutes unanimously agreed to cheat; whereas in the China badminton case it was a couple of players and presumably at most four or five coaches and selectors above them.
It's not a truism that people are not free to cast their eyes in any direction they like in public.
Arm is seeking an injunction that would require Qualcomm to destroy designs developed under Nuvia’s license agreements with Arm. Arm alleged its approval was needed before these could be transferred to Qualcomm.

This makes no sense at all. I'm trying to figure out the upside for ARM other than they earn more money on their cores. It would certainly put a large damper on the rock star chip designers since they couldn't sell their firms as easily.
While true, I've never seen it on a piece of tech.

Globalization has ended with the Russian invasion on Ukraine. What we are seeing now is a huge "divorce" between the West and China/Russia that will only get more and more intense as the international order no longer works for the biggest players.
One thing that is really fascinating after reading many of the comments here is how hard people try to leap over the fence into the job-world of tech. Sure, if you have the experience or education, it's not that hard. But if you never had the opportunity to learn it or work it, a tech job may as far away as Elysium.

Conversely, anyone with a laptop and an Internet connection can learn most tech topics. With the right amount of self study, personal project work and focus, you can acquire the skills needed to land an entry level job and then work your way up.

Maybe it just boils down to the fact that there are always people who try to short cut the path to senior dev salaries.

It makes sense to ask this about new/niche languages, most others will be supported and around for a while. And the niche languages are a rounding error in the job market (they come up on HN disproportionately more often).

JavaScript and Python haven't come up in this thread at all so far and they're two most popular languages and will stay around for some time.

Yeah. I'm curious whether photography made it harder to make a living as an artist, or whether it was always very tough and photography didn't make much difference.
'remixing' existing works into your own creation is both well established an accepted within the art world. Nobody would consider it forgery to do that.
I made a website to keep you in good posture
I have always been suffering from stiff necks and back pain from long hours spent programming and working at my desk.

My biggest problem was that I tend to slump into bad posture when I am too focused on the work at hand. And it's too late when I notice about it. The soreness and the pain have already set in.

I spent the past month to create a web app that uses AI (computer vision) with your webcam to monitor your posture. You will receive alerts when you are too near to the screen (leading to FHP), or when your head is tilted.
The guy who beat up a Jew in London screamed "fuck Jews" while he did it. Not shy about his views - like most of your other examples no doubt.

There is close to no overlap between these people and the people who take pains to explain for the 15th time to a likely racist skeptic that they dont hate jews it's the state of israel they have a problem with.

On the other hand, ive yet to hear a single person who purposefully conflates the two condemn Isaac Herzog - the president of israel as a racist for what he definitely said. Literally zero. You would be the first if you were to do it in any such argument ive had. The closest I got was "his views are unfortunate".

I generally interpret this silence as a signal that his views on racial supremacy, his state and its institutions are thoroughly and comprehensively endorsed.
I got mich out of it, but only on the meta level also. Afair she never goes into technical detail of e.g. Neyman Pearson, but covers things like how to overcome the Quine-Duhem-problem with statistics, or how to stengthen Popper’s theory.
But on that level I learned a lot, and it trickles down to what is important in actual experimental design and why.
Hi all, as we all know that this Google browser has a feature that serves to protect anyone, especially in the login and payment processes to keep it safe.

For example: "Attackers may be trying to steal your information from domain.com (Including passwords, or credit cards)."

Then, if there is an impersonal connection writing? It could also be caused by an error in the "Secure Socket Layer" SSL certificate, the current privacy standard.

If you experience problems like this, here are the basic points to solve them in the chrome browser on android:

1. Force close chrome and reload the page
2. Check the date and time
3. Clear Cache and chrome cookies
4. Disable safe browsing feature
5. Disable antivirus and VPN apps
6. Apply Incognito mode
7. Update your chrome

Thanks.
Every part of this rings true. We interviewed a guy for a front-end position, on his resume he mentioned react and svelte with 3 years of experience with both and was open for contact work. We exchanged a few emails and set up a call. Then it got weird.

On his resume his name was Daniel, but when he joined the zoom call he introduced himself as Andrew. Moreover the photo on his LinkedIn was of Asian appearance but this guy had a very White American accent. I asked him to turn his video on and he fumbled around for a bit and then said his camera was broken, so giving him the benefit of the doubt I jumped into asking him about his experience with svelte. He asked asked me what svelte was, I thought that was weird given it was one of the buzzwords on his resume, but 20 seconds later he all of a sudden knew what svelte was.

I reminded him that in our email exchange he said he had worked with svelte for 3 years and I'd like to hear more about what he had built. He told me, and no joke, he had worked in the same office as some guys who had used svelte.

I don't think historically this makes any sense at all. It's normally just a thing used by right wing politicians to say that muslims are not ok.
As Unicode standard describes (e.g. the same 5.18 section mentioned above) case mapping depends on locale, so lowercasing the same string may have different results on different hosts, and so also the truthfulness of lowercase(x)==lowercase(y) is not universal and depends on the host locale.

See the standard https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/ch05.pdf for the most commonly used example of Turkish i, but there are others.
