It obviously wasn’t, and it’s disingenuous to argue otherwise.

Those phones had “mysterious” shutdown issues with ~20% battery remaining that started being reported about 6 months after release (when it was still the latest iPhone). Those same issues were somehow fixed with a software update, but not before the shutdowns made a bunch of customers angry.

It’s obvious that Apple simply under-specced the batteries, not that they were trying to make the phone wear out early.
Back in 2013 I had an interview with a large company whose game consoles are very rare to find in stores currently where the guy wanted me to recite JS syntax over the phone. He'd tell me I was incorrect if I didn't say "semi-colon". I wish I was making this up. Hoping they've modified their process a bit. :)

Not OP, but why would you feel bad? Anecdotally, I’ve gone into interviews before thinking it means nothing, and one of the small companies I wasn’t serious about ended up convincing me to join. It’s really on the company to sell their vision.
When I see videos of Ben Mallah on Youtube with juicy contracts on maintaining his properties, it is fantastic for people who are in the trades. A talented person can easily graduate to earning a firm.

Engelbart was always dead on. But very few listened, and now, unfortunately he’s just dead. And we are stuck with unchangeable web pages laid out for graphic design purposes rather than understanding and information reuse. It will be another several decades before this broadly changes.
Yea, using a contactless debit/credit card seems like the way to go anyway. Much less annoying than mashing your expensive phone on the panel until it works. Even my basic local credit union has contactless cards these days.
Subnormals in particular I think are a pretty big failure of the IEEE standard, in the sense that because their implementation is very slow & varies across architectures, the only time most people learn about them is when they're hitting FP perf issues & want to disable their support.
I haven't followed it in a long time, but some of the Monero developers were working on Tari, which is basically a private NFT if my understanding is correct.
If you have a gap just say you took time off between jobs. Are you exploring startup ideas but decided to go back to a company. Have a few startup ideas in your back pocket just in case.

I see this response a lot. It's a cop out and deflection. Sure, it's always been political. But there are times when the politics of science has hued much more closely to the pursuit of truth than it currently does. It's not hard to see why when modern, powerful political movements say that "objectivity is a tool of white supremacy" or of the "patriarchy." Such positions would have been laughed out of the room in 1980 but now they are widely held within the academy.
> ARM is more efficient

This is backwards; M1 is not merely an implementation of an efficient ISA, Apple sponsored the design of the ISA in order to create M1 with it. That's why ARMv8 is significantly different from v7.

ISA doesn't matter that much though and it is well designed besides that.

How does your model explain that reserve requirements are now 0%? Why haven’t the banks created infinite money?

The loanable funds model that you describe is no longer accurate (though it is still taught by courses using outdated textbooks, e.g. the classic “Macroeconomics” by Mankiw. Newer textbooks, e.g. Core Econ do not teach the loanable funds model. It is incompatible with empirical data.

The bullet would have paid well, lol, and the domain area was pretty damn interesting (only reason I considered it in the first place), but yes. Although, it's honestly a little unclear. I really enjoyed speaking with the hiring manager and thought it went well enough, but the other parts and the overall process was not enjoyable. It was nothing but A-type people and subtlety hostile (?), if that makes sense. Like the others weren't interested or I was untrustworthy or not capable or wasting their time or something. Just a weird feeling. But I wouldn't have worked with those people? Either way, I guess they're looking for a very specific type of engineer, and I am not that engineer I suppose.

Overall, I somewhat expected such an experience and am glad I ended up where I did. The place I am going is filled with great people, and honestly, more intelligent and curious people.
The man was equally approachable. I wrote to him in 1961 with some questions I had while building my radio telescope. His prompt reply to an unknown high school student was an unexpected kindness that surprised and encouraged me.
> People rarely jump

I'd just like to take a moment to reiterate that object-oriented programming is a mistake produced by cargo-culting half a dozen different styles used by competent programmers (including the devolpers of smalltalk and its relatives, from which OOP appropiated its name), and that Java is completely unusable by anyone with a sense of self-respect and a awareness that programming languages can be better than least-common-denominator noe-COBOLs. I'm not familiar with the specific codebase you're refering, but it would probably be at least less massive and less awful if it had been written in a more decent language, like Haskell or C.
Adding three interviews put you a little close to the joke situation on the original poster's article. Asking everyone to write fizz buzz smart though.
Oh, I’ll take a read! Thank you
Moreover it's intellectually lazy. Male genitals being external mean they're legitimately harder to draw and we know how much these AIs struggle with intricate anatomy like hands.

Super disingenuous woke virtue signalling.
Each sampling step runs at a specific scale, fewer steps would skip some of the intermediate scales
Where I live there is almost always 30-180 days probation period and then the contract turns into permanent. Usually not a big deal.
How many of those jobs pay just as much or more as a medical doctor for a fraction of the education and arguably quite a bit less stress? I’m not a fan of the interview process at all and not defending it at all, but when you compare it to “other jobs”, it’s very clear that most software engineers (in the states at least) are compensated quite well
Al Gore literally never said that
That quote is quite good indeed! Thanks for sharing it and the example config.
Probationary periods are good for companies, but they're horrible for early stage engineers. They don't know how to take it, and they probably don't have a lot of money saved up. I think if companies decide to fire someone after a probationary period they should give them a $1,000 bonus or something to carry them over. That engineer has given up other opportunities and maybe moved or made changes in their life. Not everyone is a reasonably well off software engineer with money in the bank.

There's no reason to make such material lawful unless the converse is proved by empirical evidence. That is, can it be proved that people who view AI-based material are less likely to act on a sexual interest in real children? Unless that's proven, there's no other reason to make such material lawful. You're welcome to provide one.

The analogy is not apt. You cannot compare image-based abuse of children with a video game. GTA is a legitimate form of entertainment, child abuse material is not. They are not remotely similar. This shows why analogies are almost never helpful and it's best just to focus on the topic under discussion.
Lenovo and Toshiba screwed me over on a warranty. I had a power brick on another laptop die the day after it went out of warranty, only to find the replacement was > $100 (in the early 2000's).

I've heard other PC manufacturers are similarly bad. Do you know of any with a < 48 hour turn around time and a > 95% repair success rate?
Most introductory stuff on responsive images seems to assume you’ll manually create some images and put them next to a handwritten HTML file somewhere. I hadn’t seen these more realistic options written down together in one place, so I wrote them down.
You don't even need to do a diff, the model itself actually predicts the diff (which is how it samples the image) so you could just stop once the model is predicting close to 0
Sure. No question about that at all. That's why companies reward employees who bring in new people and they get hired.

That's difficult to control, though, that's the problem. And especially if a company wants to hire 15 devs this quarter, who have the required skill set.

If you have a small company with 5 devs, and it hires 1, maybe 2 new devs over the course of the year and there's no real time frame on finding a new dev, you only hire when you find a good person, well, that is a different scenario entirely.

But like most things, that is only an ad hoc solution. What do you do, as the business owner asks the devs for referral and there are none? What do you do? You have to go to the open market. And as I wrote in my last post:"It's about the statistics over dozens of hiring decisions." So not just a hire here and there, but for a sytem.

I work a lot with people in the trades - electricians, plumbers, dry wallers, insulation installers, etc. Man, you think there's a shortage in devs??? Nobody, but nobody, is going into the trades anymore. There's no one to hire, no one to refer.
Admittedly, I'm doing devops/sre interviews, but I just changed jobs for the first time in 5 years.

4 different jobs I interviewed for. All of them were reasonable, the one I accepted had 3, 1 hour interviews, the questions asked were very reasonable, friendly, etc.

I dunno, maybe I'm lucky but I've avoided FAANG my whole career and only had good experiences in interviews.
Oh, well... if you do what the article say, start with an actual story about the user solving a problem, and destroy every useful element until you have a formal scrum ticket... then your stories won't have any useful element.

You can throw them away, or you can stop destroying the useful part, and get useful stories to work with. You'll just have to accept that they are not standardized.

Really, there two basic ways to specify some software. The algebraic way where you enumerate (ideally independent) capabilities, and the narrative way with stories. Those lead to very different kinds of software, that fit better different problems/users. Throwing one of them away is a great loss.
The poster is in Australia which has a different set of employment practices than America. Every company in Australia talks about the probation period. During probation it is basically like America at-will employment. After probation it is harder to get rid of staff with legal standards on dismissal periods, redundancy pay, and so on.

They can take you the Fair Work Commission for an unfair dismissal claim so companies have have processes in place to make sure they don't face that risk, which includes things like written warnings for underperformance, setting clear expectations, and giving the employee a chance to correct underperformance.

Managers in Australia much prefer to rid of underperformers during probation.
I love these and use them all the time. There is a problem that, for example, google has no incentive to maintain a generic calendar app because they want you to use google calendar. I am not a super power calendar user, but I'll need some basic functionality and I don't use google. These apps fill that kind of space beautifully.
>That story was only there because you were yet to break it down into tasks.

Not exactly. The story is there to document something you want the software to do, phrased in terms of the value to the user. Once you generate a list of tasks from it, you still need to actually execute the tasks and see if by completing them, you deliver the desired value as expressed in the story. So no, you wouldn't destroy the story once you listed tasks. Once the tasks are done, you still need to circle back and either verify that the goal of the story has been achieved, or that the story is no longer a valid statement about the software.
Nothing wrong with 1.4mb of storage?
Movements and institutions need to jealously guard their own interests, and not spend their political capital on unrelated movements. When they don’t do that, they undermine their own supposed priorities. When public health officials made an exception to their Covid position to support protests in 2020, they revealed that they’re willing to put their personal political views ahead of “the science.” And when you do that, that shreds your credibility. It’s a really dangerous thing for scientific institutions to signal to people that they have an agenda beyond their specific field.

> If I see a photo of ice cream, I tend to crave real ice cream

Would you say this works for other things? Esp. violence? Should all depictions of violence be banned? Or any undesirable behavior? The list may be long.

But more importantly, what you're describing is advertising. An image of an ice cream isn't an ice cream.

Porn works differently. It doesn't advertise for real sex. Porn conflates the representation and the thing itself into one; it delivers gratification directly, something an image of an ice cream doesn't do.
An even better example using Midjourney beta (so Stable Diffusion):

php.ini

Seriously, that is usually the easiest configuration i had to deal with. Although there are hundreds of configurable options, each one is thoroughly documented in the same file.

Yaml config, although being better structured, rarely have any comments with explanation, and I’m still waiting to see one documented at 30% of php.ini.
Mastodon's biggest Twitter differentiator and feature - multiple instances - is also its biggest flaw when it comes to ease of use. Users don't "get" the multiple instance concept. The article is spot on in that it is disorganized and there is no easy way to unify your account across instances.
Dumb question, have you tried shorter term contracts? Have you tried networking with your peers from your bootcamp? I get that it's better to have Big Stable Names on your resume, but there's a lot of places that just need things done, and any experience is better than nothing.
> Climate change is used as a bat to hit poor people in the head politically

I am sure the poor people who are suffering through the droughts in Europe, floods in Pakistan, increased erosion in Senegal and the hottest ever temperatures in Death Valley would disagree.

Climate change is happening and the science has been ignored for far too long.
It also supports shared screen multiplayer, a feature nobody on PC was allowed to enjoy.
> The take-away here is that steps above ~60 do nothing to the image, you're just burning gpu cycles doing nothing.

On these pictures. Depending on your prompt, more steps can be beneficial—let's say you're trying to make infinitely detailed fractal monster landscapes—or it might hurt, especially with DDIM, which seems to overfit a lot.
Mastodon considers 20 people in a hashtag as trending because people don't use hashtags for new topics very often, and the hashtags that do get used often and regularly are exactly the opposite of "trending". And because trending data is somewhat limited by your server's view of the fediverse (each server calculates trends based on content from users it is subscribed to).

Just 6 days ago somebody posted a poll asking people how often they log in to Mastodon [1]. 2,691 people responded to their poll, 71% answering "every day". Consider it was posted by someone with 201 followers, and people only had 6 days to respond. That, to me, is slightly more than virtually no-one. 2,859 sysadmins consider Mastodon worth running on their domain.

I use Mastodon on a daily basis. I follow interesting people on it, I get more than my fair share of cat pictures through it, I find out about things happening in the world through it. I don't use Twitter. To me, it is a Twitter alternative, because it has replaced Twitter for me. Don't see what other claims there are to realize.

Glad to see there’s still some love for DB knowledge. Seems like everyday someone is coming to me with an issue that could be quickly solved by leaning on a mature RDBMS, instead of an ORM/NoSQL/flavor of the year tool.

Too bad most roles in this industry (that pay well and don’t work you to premature balding) need niche specialists, instead of deep generalists.

And all the faddery (see: MongoDB, MySQL, DocumentDB). “We don’t need a full-fledged RDBMS. We’ll ride this malnourished pony all the way past the finish line. We gotta stay lean; we gotta stay hungry. There’s no ‘OLTP’ in first to market.”

Yeah clearly there are a ton of Americans responding to that point.

It is funny they don't want to call it "probation" because Australian probation is just every job in America.
Watch your back, fax machines.
that's where "abort, retry, fail?" really shines
I simplified for the sake of the audience since it does, I’m sure you would agree, seem absurd that the current reserve requirements are near 0% which only makes my argument stronger. Technically, though the reserve requirements are still >0%. There are limits as exhibited by other required ratios that must still be preserved. But effectively with near 0% reserve, the benefits of holding deposits are only amplified.[0]

I'm not sure the "reliance" on having the phone was as much on businesses as on your friend though. Every time I've been in NYC in the last 2 years, I've made 2-3 paper copies of my vaccination card for exactly the reason, and have been rewarded a few times when places wouldn't accept a photo of a card, and only a physical paper one.

Obviously it sucked for you and your friend to have to deal with that, but it seems wrong to blame the city and its systems for it. If anything, NYC had plenty of room for you to have a non-phone fallback that you just didn't have.

Compared to SF especially, NYC is, if anything, one of the more analog big cities in the US. There's tons of cash-only stores and restaurants, and they're seemingly the last city in the US to now be moving away from mag-stripe for their public transit.
My first reaction to the idea a few hours ago was along those same lines.

Coming back to the ShowHN just now, I thought “China.”

By which I guess I mean manufacturing, and not drop shippers, middlemen, importers, etc.

To me, it seems like this matches the way manufacturers multi-channel their sales, and fits the IT priorities a manufacturer is likely to have…bills of materials, inventories, forecasting, design, etc. and not a big emphasis on the web, saas, and building websites.

YMMV.
Really? Our old carbeurated GMC did better real world than the two trucks that followed (all are similar weight class, and V8s).

They changed the EPA fuel economy rules after the first truck was released, so those aren't comparable.
> Would you say this works for other things? Esp. violence?

If I find myself sexually aroused by violence.

> But more importantly, what you're describing is advertising.

Sure. We restrict or prohibit advertisements of certain things. Including child sexual abuse on that list is probably OK.

> Porn works differently. It doesn't advertise for real sex.

I'm not sure I agree. There are, for example, indications consumers of porn are more likely to request / engage in certain sex acts common in porn, like facials, anal sex, choking, etc. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32081698/
Perhaps, but that categorization is going to confuse a lot of developers. It sure confused me until I said something wrong, and all of you Nix proponents descended on me.

This confusion is not good for Nix.
> No, this is exactly what I want to avoid. If I choose to change jobs then I need to find new housing.

You don't have to if they give regular leases, which regulations probably require anyway.
Well I can conclude they're interested in tracking some employees and not others. Or that they use the data to negotiate rates with the vision care company they partner with. Or that they look for trends that change over time, or groups of people.

(BTW I'm as eager to find out if HN has a reply depth limit as you are)
> It is a failure.

It's not a failure.
This is a cheap attempt to co-opt an argument "Climate Change" that is factual and not political, into political direction "Person X said Z" and "Fact X was stated by political side S".

Climate change has nothing to do with right or left, or any other way people use to paint things black and white.
Don't fret, AIDungeon already had its run, with plenty of slash fiction in its dataset.
If that's how it works, these AI models _really_ should prevent taking queries with "child" in them. Imagine you have one of these AIs installed, all you need is to stroke six keyboard keys to face a 20+ years criminal charge (of the type your ass is not spared). A bad actor with a few seconds in front of your screen could take this hell upon you. Having something like this installed in a laptop is equivalent to leaving your unlocked gun on a table pointed at you in public.

> Does 10% of the burned energy end up as electricity? Or is it more like 30%? Hard to tell.

> The real question is, what do you do with that heat when you don't want it? What's the efficiency then?

And also, because electricity can pump heat so effectively, 10% efficiency in electricity is more valuable than 30% efficiency in heat.
