It's bad now, and only getting worse. The moderators of top subreddits (like PublicFreakout) are openly in favor of marginalizing Jews, they'll just use the word Zionist instead. You can report a comment like "Jews don't deserve to live" and Reddit will automatically respond within a few hours saying the comment didn't violate their content policy. You can visit the subreddit AntisemitismInReddit for hundreds more examples.

Ask HN: Finding Good Jobs?
Hi,

I'm a senior eng, in a faang role, and I must admit my whole career I've never really had a great source of jobs. I've resorted to indeed, sifting through recruiter spam, etc to find find the roles I might fit for.

There must be a better way (looking for a Devops position, near DC or remote).
Interactive extensible low level programming languages
no one is trying to do this, forth exists but its one of the only attempts that is successful and still its ugly as hell.
Sure you can use lisp to do everything but its horribly clunky when it comes to low level programming.
Especially since you have one headline mentioning Rust, and the Rust-hipster mention gets commented multiple times. I think we're above break-even now.
> because they could not stay in a country that wages wars

Because sanctions affect their personal well-being. The war started at 2014 and they were OK with it for eight years.
> Sure the source can be reused, but you think another collection of individuals will come along and host the project in the same way?

Look at OpenOffice vs LibreOffice. MySQL vs MariaDB. It can happen. At the very least it's more likely than if you're using commercial software.
Adobe it's a classic case of Sales-led-development, which started to generate a huge organisation that is very slow and far away from it's users.

On the other hand you have a Figma, product-led, figuring out what's best for users, and kicking ass with a web-based solution that IS what designers/devs need. Legends!
There should be study on Reddit too.

Average productivity is exactly what it sounds like. If google is making one million dollars in a year and has 1000 employees their average productivity is $1000.

Marginal productivity is harder to pin down empirically, it's the first derivative of productivity with respect to inputs of labor. Not all labor is productive to the same degree, it was hired at different times, and there's variance in negotiation so your comp definitely doesn't (===) your marginal productivity. It's also probably greatly distorted for startups that are banking on a unicorn valuation where the expected productivity is something like (0.99 * 0 + 0.009 * 1 million + 0.0001 * 1 billion). But for Google et. al where they're in a relative steady state, they have a good idea of how much revenue grows when they add an employee and they'll be willing to pay up to that.
Because it was up on Amazon. You can't possibly issue warnings about every potentially dangerous product that may be sold.
I think you'd be surprised...
So it's not an equity grant at all then. It's an employee stock purchase plan. You choose how much of your compensation buys stock and you get a small discount on the purchase price (called "bonus" in the article). That is exactly an ESPP.

Yes, just like you can clone draw.io and run that forever. Except, until you can't.

Like last week when Safari 16 broke any use of the command key on Macs and we received 5+ reports per hour until it was fixed.
+100 to visiting all the schools after you apply. I believe it signaled serious intent to the departments where I applied and gave me a chance to explain my non-traditional background in person.

Ended up attending a school in a location that I wouldn't have ranked first on paper but ended up loving. And vice versa for a school in a location that didn't bother me on paper, but when I visited, I realized I couldn't spend years there.
> Since people don't usually write their own OS, I don't think it's correct to take the "maximum transition latency" reported by the CPU to mean anything, because users will never observe that transition speed.

The Linux CPU frequency governor literally uses it as part of the algorithm for calculating its sampling rate (i.e., how frequently it checks whether to adjust the processor's frequency).

> Please also read about Intel's "Speed Shift". While it's fairly new (only debuted in 2015), it means the CPU can clock up by itself without waiting for a transition command from the OS.

Hardware-managed P-states don't need to wait for the OS to send a command to change the frequency, but the processor still performs periodic sampling to determine what the frequency should be (this happens ever millisecond on modern AMD and Intel hardware), the processor isn't necessarily going to choose the maximum frequency right away, and it's still subject to delays from the OS (e.g., Windows core parking).

In any case, a multi-millisecond delay in switching frequency isn't because the processor is waiting for the voltage to increase.

It's a really great system. We recommend that people borrow from it liberally.
Christmas lights often have a female plug on the end to allow chaining sets of lights together. A common mistake is to put them up the wrong way and have the male connector on the far end from your outlet, and the female connector right there. That's when such a cord starts tempting even reasonable people.
Ah yes, the Ali* name generator machine.

If all I can find are Rabbitgoo/Luckyfang products on Amazon, I just skip the middleman and order from AliExpress. I don't even trust the middlemen to stand behind the products these days. Most of the time they just relabel it with a more western name and don't add any sort of QA -- just drop-shipping.
I used them for over 20 years in South America.

I even burned them many times, to the dismay of my dad. I burned them because I wanted hotter water, and closed the water line as much as I can, the resistance heated up to red and then melted.

The fact that ground contacts the water is by design. As far as I know, no one has ever been electrocuted by using one of these showers, not even me, so used to burn them.

The only reason I use gas heaters now is: I can shower with hot enough water for a long time.

So that teardown can be terrifying to you, but millions of South Americans pay no attention to such fear mongering at all. They are safe for people.
Yes. That comment is unhelpful and only exacerbates the pain.
I had that experience. We were an apple2 middle school and a bunch of us would stay after and work in the computer lab. I wrote a little game in low res graphics. We'd trade tips. Lamentably the teachers weren't much help. We'd ask the music teacher who would be in there sometimes as he seemed to have some good knowledge ("music and the apple 2 wasn't easy.. you could "click the speaker" and by doing so rapidly you could get tones..)

We had access to "Nibble" magazine which had a lot of printed code. I got my "sound" routines from that. Between that and "Beagle Bros." programs. It was fun. We never figured out machine code...We got the basics, but it was just too much.

Though we just had each other as our lab wasn't internet enabled (as was the style in the early 80s)
I'm not seeing how digital nomads have an additional negative impact compared to tourists though. If we're comparing not having wealthy foreigners vs having them, then yes, nobody will deny that has an effect on housing stock, but having digital nomads vs tourists is either a wash or a benefit to the digital nomads.

As for public resources, people who commute for work most likely use more than tourists, but digital nomads doing so would be an outlier.

The differentiation between digital nomads (people on a tourist visa/waiver) vs expats is an important one, as expats do get more entitlements to public services due to their legal residence.
As I recall the majority of the OpenOffice team went to Libre, that isn't the point I'm making here.
I don't see bots in my feed, but they have free reign in the comments.

I'm worried that both bots as a means to message at volume and the rise of NLP and captcha-beating models will ultimately lead to a loss of freedom.

One way to combat these is to massively fund anti-botting teams, which doesn't really feed the bottom line. The other way is to require full state ID - driver's license or passport - to register for services.

I'm doubtful pseudonymity will continue into the next decade.

Bots are clearly a problem. We're not addressing it adequately, and we may see harsh countermeasures imposed against us all to stop them.
I love this energy density argument, because it sounds profound but actually is completely vacuous. Energy density doesn't matter, cost does. And we know nuclear sucks on cost.
Why would you think that most people would just know it’s a terrible idea? After all, the vast majority of (digital) cables that people use mostly work just fine so long as they fit—leaving aside vagaries of USB-C and Thunderbolt.

It's easier to make stock out of thin air (well, sort of) than cash, and accounting wise it's much more pleasant for companies to do so.
Been working at Hasura for almost 3 years now, this was how I joined.
What others wrote was pretty much my reasoning but a bit further, over the very long run (30+ years) markets will revert to mean performance. If you have strong gains in the first half of your career then when you are in your peak earning years, investments will be more expensive at time of purchase. As a result when you are investing the most, returns on that principle will be lower.
You can defend it all you want with "historical precedent," it's still quite dystopian whether or not conditioning for 70 years has any impact. My point is that any law against free speech probably has more sinister intentions than are presented.

"Do you have any proof?"

Read 1984 and try to understand how close laws against holocaust denial are to thought crimes.

I am not sure but I used to be in a Telegram group called "Ukraine IT army" which had ~50k members all around the world at that time trying to contribute to Ukraine in any way.

It was mostly about posting spam, DDoSing Russian sites and hacking them. (Majority of people weren't tech savy enough to be a hacker, they would just download a script and run it on a specific ip/domain)

That was about 3-4 weeks into the war and I left it so I don't know what happened to it maybe it still exists and has more members.

As a layperson, electricity is one of those things that seems really complex and dangerous to mess with. But we've managed to abstract it down to "plug this cable into a socket" or "flip a switch". I remember doing the V = IR calculations in highschool, the difference between alternating and direct currents, as well as the relationship between volts and amperes.

While fascinating, none of that translated to real world working knowledge. In fact I was greatly surprised to learn about how my outlets are actually wired when I had to get my home's electrical panel replaced. Turns out, swapping electrical outlets and switches is actually really easy, but I only felt confidence once I had an electrician show me. Otherwise I would still be too worried about burning my house down
Sort of. Australian scientists discovered there is a correlation between low levels of the enzyme BChE and increased SIDS risk. It's worth noting that there's a fair bit of evidence that actually points to AChE rather than BChE, but AChE is much more volatile and so harder to measure.

It's a particularly interesting finding because we already know that low levels of BChE correspond to an additional challenges waking up from anaesthetic, and the working hypothesis is that this may be linked to the arousal system.

One other potential link is to SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy), which so far we also don't understand the cause of, but it may be similar to SIDS (or in fact, it may even be the exact same condition) - it often presents very similarly (face down in bed, no obvious signs of suffocation, etc.). In fact, in Australia and New Zealand, SIDS is being renamed to SUDI (Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy), which sort of speaks for itself in terms of similarities.
I hired a voice actor, Maxwell Glick, to do the audiobooks for my two books (https://www.amazon.com/Audible-The-Big-Bucks/dp/B0BDBG5VNP/r... is the latest. Your speed is interesting, because when I was reviewing his work, I only used 1.5x. Any faster sounded like a cartoon character and I might miss nuances in the dialog, among other things.

Someone else mentioned code samples. Fortunately I only had a couple Mesa samples in Inventing the Future and I actually gave him some audio for the way to read them. My guideline was "how would a CS professor read this in class?"

There IS a "pronouncing Mesa" epilogue to the manual, which helped. But a book with a whole lot of code in it? I don't think that would work.
Probably. Most people who take drugs are just looking for a painkiller - whether that's "social pain", physical pain or both.

Just go to the library.

Library was my favorite place at college, probably the most important place too since I tended to skip class and learn the material myself. A good library should be comfy and have ample working space.

It's also mostly free access to the public.
My son recently showed me something he was creating for Minecraft, turns out he's using MongoDB and Redis...
They can definitely fund the development of a new good product with that kind of money.
If you have strong diplomatic ties with the country the migrant came from, you can totally do identity/criminal background checks.

You can also do things like asking an existing citizen to sponsor an immigrant. If that immigrant commits a crime or doesn't pay their taxes, the sponsor is jointly liable.
FedEx shares plunge after profit warning linked to gloomy economy

In a world of free association Stripe would probably be more willing to do business with "high risk" companies because they could charge them substantially higher fees. The government directly and indirectly tries to discourage business with these kinds of companies which is why companies like porn websites, fireworks wholesalers and check cashers have a hard time getting bank accounts these days.
"Layoffs are happening" is not a metric, it's a truism. Layoffs are always happening somewhere, even in a growing economy. How prevalent are layoffs in the overall economy? You didn't even bother to check.

Current mortgage rates have little to do with recession, if at all.

Inflation is a problem, and it could absolutely lead to recession in the near future, but it hasn't yet. This is why the White House is "pretending" we're not in a recession.
If I'm an employee earning equity vs cash, I damn well want to make sure my incentives are aligned with the companies, e.g. the value increasing. This seems a bit perverse.
Someone mentioned (and deleted) it'd be better to make friends with someone who has access to a box truck.
My + two cents:

This feels like valuable advice across multiple industries.

Big companies have no one's name attached, not the way people do. So the price of a convenient box truck is playing by their rules, submitting id, and trusting them to take care of their responsiblities. If they don't then, no one is responsible or truly looks bad. No single relationship is broken. So no great incentive on their part to care.
Meanwhile, friends, or even paid acquaintances, have no incentive to squeeze past at most some cash or favor. And if they squeeze to hard they, as a person will face social consequences (sociopaths exempt, to a degree).

I checked it, it's quite good. Also during restore, waits for the files to become available for download. But personally I don't like the fact that files are packed into some blob storage, which is not as easily accessible as a tar archive.
I tend to agree with you - getting rid of section 230 or limiting it to certain types of content providers based on some certain metric would be ideal.

I've been doing some thinking and it seems to me like Section 230 being repealed would be disastrous for smaller websites/startups/content creators.

If I create a small-scale forum - I am now legally responsible for what is posted on that platform and can be sued repeatedly into the ground until I'm not able to continue running my business/forum/whatever. If someone has the capital to do that and a mission to remove me from the internet, then they're able to.

With section 230, it has that "monkey's paw" style penalty. Sure, it would be nice to go after social media companies that continuously abuse their power and act on behalf of the government to control what you can say, when you can say it, but then you'd also potentially open up a bunch of legal trouble for smaller outlets.

If there was a way to enact something where above a certain threshold, section 230 no longer applies to your company and you need to be responsible for the content on your platform - maybe that would be ideal, but I don't know what that threshold would be - profits, incorporated vs LLC vs sole proprietorship, I'm not sure.
When I was a small child with endless un-jaded curiosity and no fear I once took a pair of cutters to a power cable plugged into a live 120v US outlet; it made an incredibly bright arc that I could see the afterimage of in my vision for several minutes and a deafeningly loud pop (In retrospect may have been the first stage of my tinnitus). For years growing up I would look at the replacement power cable for that electric typewriter and always feel pretty dumb.

Obviously nobody should learn that way and I'm thankful to not be dead or otherwise, but I was kind of disappointed growing up that in school I was never taught why this was a bad idea, even when I asked all I got was a wide eyed stare and a stern 'never do that again', never a 'So that's a bad idea and here's why..' Maybe in an alternative life I'd have become an electrician? Who knows.
Reddit is weirdly overflowing with pro Ukraine propaganda and people don't seem to notice.

Any even neutral story about Russia brings out vitriol about how obvious Russia's propaganda is.

But somehow they miss the same effect when the story is pro-Ukraine, no matter who the sources are, how unlikely the content is to be true, etc.

This was to be expected in the first months of the war, but after so many months of a steady diet of propaganda that doesn't turn out to be true, somehow Redditors still take it at face value.

Yeah we should probably stop that too.
If you make a cable to plug a 15A outlet in your home into a 15A outlet on the generator, then hopefully the generator has its own breaker that would trip if too much current was drawn.

If you plug your house directly into a 40A outlet (which has a different shape) then, yeah, you're screwed.
Both Acid Burn and Zero Cool had handles that came off as self-deprecating. I kind of liked that, as counterpoint to the competitive ego dynamic between them.
The main challenge is CORS. For EQ/Balance/Visualization, Webamp needs access to the actual byte-stream which requires special permissions be granted in the HTTP headers by whoever is running the stream.
eh, by now, I think we are all pretty well resigned to Twitter, FB, TT, etc., being organs of propaganda with a social veneer. By propaganda I mean propaganda, to disseminate the establishment take on things. Occasionally you get the dissenter's take or opposition's propaganda, but it's pretty much all propaganda, mostly from, to borrow a hippie phrase, "the man". Not everything "the man" says is automatically wrong, as was presumed in the '70s, but you know, he has his prerogatives.
How was Nginx affecting F5’s business?
Based on the last few years of my (and a relatively wide friend circle) experiences with FedEx I wouldn't be surprised if they are just suffering from getting outcompeted by Amazon and others. If their internal logistics are as bad as what the customer-facing experience would lead me to believe, I worry for their future.

Edit: completely subjective and armchair-quarterback-like opinion, of course.
In the US, if you can get accepted to a PhD, you get full scholarship, especially in STEM, but also in other fields. You can drop out in a year or two and get your masters. (I got my master's this way at Harvard, though I also finished the PhD. Nothing was required but the first year of course work and a language test.

Far less expensive and possibly less work than going directly to masters.

But if you do want to pay for a professional masters', then unlike undergrad, the specific program may be more important than the reputation of the university as a whole.
It's the opposite of leetcode because it tests understanding, not memorization. For example, you could ask why position embeddings are necessary and what would happen without, reasoning behind certain terms in an objective function and what would happen without them, which part of an architecture the bottleneck for convergence is, intuitively what tuning a certain hyperparameter does, show them a timeseries of gradients for something that doesn't convergence and ask what's wrong with them, etc.

I'm just making these up because the questions we previously asked were domain-specific to our applications, e.g. "why is this specific learning objective hard" or "what would you modify to help generalization in case X"

These questions are very easy to talk about for someone with a strong ML background. They may not always know the answer and often there is no right answer, but they can make reasonable guesses and have a thought process around it. Someone who just took a MOOC likely has no idea how to even approach the question.
