These testimonies describe outlandish things that have never been proven with physical evidence or reproduced in experiments over the centuries. And not for lack of trying. Conveniently they even claim the deity they describe is beyond testing--except of course giving its proponents a significant portion of your income for life. They are as much evidence as the Book of Mormon and testimonies of John Smith by his followers.

Just because an account is detailed doesn't mean everything it describes happened.

Jesus supposedly even claims prophets get no respect in their own town. Which is entirely consistent with how conmen are treated.

I think that's just a story about how Amazon is always trying to quantify performance and getting it wrong. Seriously, Google quantifies a lot of things too but they don't screw up. If Bezos still hand picks examples and that's the only way real change can happen, that's probably why Amazon has a reputation as a meat grinder.

Kind of an aside, but I recently signed up for YouTube Premium and find it a very good value.

I often use YouTube as a tool, for instance for quickly learning how to do something by watching, and ad-free makes this a significantly better experience.

Also YouTube music comes with it, and I find it better than Spotify, so it replaced that account completely.

>VCS dates back quite some time…

Let's see. From the story:

>I first met Mel when I went to work for Royal McBee Computer Corp... [The firm] had just started to manufacture the RPC-4000

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGP-30#RPC_4000

> the General Precision RPC 4000, announced in 1960

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control#History

>IBM's OS/360 IEBUPDTE software update tool dates back to 1962, arguably a precursor to version control system tools. A full system designed for source code control was started in 1972, Source Code Control System for the same system (OS/360).

The events of the story predate the precursors of VCSs by two years, and the earliest true VCS by a decade.
Yes it is, when you reduce everything down.
A related change is the shift in income tax brackets for 2022 [1] vs. 2023 [2].

Tax bracket thresholds, single:

Rate 2022 2023
35% $215,950 $231,250
32% $170,050 $182,100
24% $89,075 $95,375
22% $41,775 $44,725
12% $10,275 $11,000

Tax bracket thresholds, married filing jointly:

Rate 2022 2023
35% $431,900 $462,500
32% $340,100 $364,200
24% $178,150 $190,750
22% $83,550 $89,450
12% $20,550 $22,000

Retirement account contribution limits [3] have also increased:

2022 2023
IRA $6,000 $6,500
401(k) $20,500 $22,500

Overall, IRS adjustments for 2023 are roughly:

+6.9% standard deductions

Online disk resizing was the one I tracked as it slowly trickled through alpha/beta. To be fair, pretty much every virtualization product had online resizing before GCE, so it could have been a matter of prioritization.

Whatever the heck Vertex AI is compared against the Sagemaker+Ground Truth pile that AWS has. By no means is any of it groundbreaking from either company, just piling open source software and buckets behind UIs, but it seems GCP is doing catch-up there.

To clarify, I don't consider YT's algorithmic choices to be "censorship" one way or another. Censorship is blocking, banning and/or demonetizing videos and preventing consumers from proactively deciding what they want to watch. I fully agree that allowing users to curate what Youtube suggests to them would be a massive improvement over the current system. If you are interested in learning more about actual Youtube censorship, Matt Taibi has been covering the issue for almost 2 years.

Yes, though you have to take the square root of the sampled radius for the resulting distribution to be uniform on the unit circle. (The area of the donut with r>0.5 is greater than the area of the circle with r<0.5, but the naive implementation would sample from each of those with probability 0.5.)

It’s still a useful illustration, though, since MCMC samplers used in practice do end up throwing away lots of the sampled points based on predefined acceptance criteria.

> Profitability is inevitable.

Cloud computing profit is largely driven by companies that don't make profit themselves.

If we end up with a major tech crunch, which I suspect we will, and a bunch of these big, non-profitable new tech startups/IPOs start to fold, we'll see a massive and rapid contraction in the cloud space.

The last 3 companies I worked at invested very heavily in cloud infrastructure but none of them has made a profit. There's a pretty good chance if you're on HN the same is true for your company.

This makes me consider a second loophole: even with, for a given set of axioms, we cannot prove some given P does not halt (Godel's incompleteness theorems). However, that makes us wonder if there can be a procedure that suggests stronger, but still minimal axioms (consistent with say Peano arithmetic or ZFC) and proves them in this new axiomatic basis?

(1) Would this proof be considered acceptable? (or can we devise a system that guarantees found proofs to be acceptable)

(2) Is this procedure feasible?

If anyone has literature on this topic, this is interesting! (an optimistic alternative to incompleteness)
> I really dont think the article is good at promoting that idea.

It isn't. That's why I was pointing out that there's still some value here if you focus on it and not the presentation and all the parts of it you disagree with or otherwise dislike.
I think, firstly, you need to start working on yourself, ask your partner to help you navigate through this difficult time. Proactively find ways to get your productivity and passion to learn back....Get a standing desk if you have not already, personally, I found standing desk make me focus more. Ask others to help pick up kids or drop off so you can have solid 6,7 hours working and refocusing. I find it hard to juggle between kids and job as well.

On the "should I tell my boss" note, I would do that after trying everything else and ask whether it is possible to take temporary 1 week off without pay to get yourself back on track. Since you barely know your boss, I think you should not focus on how it affects your work yet and just explain how it affects your family everybody has family so I think your boss would resonate.

I like to look at it this way, you are hired because you have the skill and proved to be better than other candidates and the company took time and effort to find you, I trust that they will want to work with you through this instead of abandoning you.

Last but not least, I find that for every job, you feel a little loss at first but to truly integrate and feel like you are part of the team is to start having some wins (big or small) so you should look around, find taks that you can accomplish or want to learn/work on and actively request to do those. It will help boosting your confident and make working more fun imo.

Hey Ivan, congrats from Nantes, come back when you want :)
We do have the same system, commonly used for Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts, Blue Alerts, fires, floods, COVID-19 lockdown, foreign missile tests, etc. However there's no mandatory ack, and except for "presidential alerts" they can all be turned off. That's what I did after I got woken up for an evacuation notice 20 miles away from me, feel back asleep, and got woken up again by the followup message 30 minutes later saying it was just a drill.

Anyways, the wireless emergency alert system has like 5-30s of latency. I suspect that might be enough to make push notifications a better solution. There's a # of apps taking that approach (full disclosure, my employer makes one of them), I think they all ingest data from a private USGS Kafka server
Stadia definitely had software engineering related issues. The latency and stream reliability might have been better than competing services, but I found the UI and store to be quite lame. Features that were promised at launch (e.g. YouTube integration) took years to show up and weren't as good as advertised. Launching a game took too many clicks and way too much waiting. It should have been instant and that alone would have been huge. Porting games to Stadia was too hard leading to an anemic catalog; meanwhile Valve knows that the catalog is everything and engineered Steam Deck to run unmodified Windows game binaries on Linux! Google engineers ultimately failed to take advantage of the unique advantages that streaming should have given them, and without any compelling unique features Stadia was just a worse version of consoles with a subscription fee.

The pricing model was probably the biggest single issue, but I believe better engineering could have made a huge difference. This is a common pattern for Google products: a technically impressive core is held back by bad engineering and business decisions at higher levels. Duo is another good example IMO.
objdump and coredumps today are way less tedious than getting a compiler error the next day (if not few days out!).

At least with punched cards if you kept them sorted (line numbers in front a'la BASIC really helped with that) you could easily edit in place - just replace that one card that was incorrect, because each card = one line.

TECO (which begat EMACS) started out because paper tape which was preferred storage on DEC machines was harder to edit in place than card stacks and instead of retyping whole program you'd summarise your changes (that you dutifully copied on fanfold greenbar printout - or suffered) into few complex commands then used the resulting 4 tapes (TECO load tape, TECO commands tape, incorrect program, fresh unpunched tape) to get one corrected.

For maximum efficiency, the OS/360 team had to work 24h - the programmers would write their changes on first shift, then teams had to prepare cards, submit them for compilation, night shift reprinted modified documentation, and when you'd arrive at work you'd have fresh documentation and results of your compile (unless you had the luck to work on-line that day with more immediate feedback)

Can you elaborate on why you think it’s a bad idea to increase the standard deduction? I am not an economist so it doesn’t appear like a clearly bad idea to me, and it gets money into peoples hands when they need it.
There are a bunch of issues that others have said, but my primary one is vaguely semi-moral: is it reasonable to give someone a job, and then lay them off when they become inconvenient even if they are still doing that job? If someone knows that this is what you’re planning on doing, do you think that would impact their opinion on whether they should take the job? Or the minimum comp they’d require?

So while I do think it is reasonable for a company to lay off people if they aren’t needed (product cancellation, etc), I don’t think that makes overhiring is reasonable, if that is your plan.
Especially given you’re planning to do this at the same that their options for alternative employment are going to be reduced.

I can't express how much I dislike the advice to be "data-driven" and collect all the data you possibly can because it could be useful someday. While this may or may not be sound business advice, it's deeply unsettling to see such profound disregard for user privacy trumpeted as a key to scaling quickly.
Yes, in the installation guide, because s2idle is the default setting, it just advises adding the kernel argument under "Step 4" where it talks about SSDs. On that note, Western Digital apparently told Framework that this is only a problem with their older firmware, but most of us have found that the kernel argument makes a big difference despite having the latest firmware.

Also, I don't understand the details, but I've read that Intel's 11th Gen CPUs don't actually (fully?) support S3, so that might explain why it doesn't provide any noticeable power savings over S0 with the kernel argument.
Nice to finally see people coming around
Ask HN: Does Stage Manager Compete with Notifications?
If you have really good notifications from various apps, then it seems that you can get by with using each app in full screen mode.

And so it seems Stage Manager is more compelling when the notifications from apps aren't that good.

Is this so?
Interpission is good, but scientists are still trying to achieve the holy grail of interpusion.
> There is just such a disconnect with reality here I am having a hard time thinking the author has done any actual technical recruiting.

There might be a disconnect, but I think it's probably not in the direction you expect.

The vast majority of high-performing engineering teams (good startups, big tech companies) don't hire standard SWEs for specific language/framework expertise. The truth absolutely is that languages are interoperable enough that someone who is smart and understand the underlying principles can get up to speed in a new ecosystem quickly.
That's been the feeling of many of us for years (literally, when I knew a few of the GIMP folks back in my VA Linux days I rattled off stuff I thought was valuable and some of its still not there...mostly around the baroque UX, 20+ years on).

It's sad because it's not that the app isn't powerful, it's that it's obtuse to anyone but diehards.

Maybe, but if I didn't know we have similar life spans I would've guessed that modern life is far safer and healthier than ancient life. Some examples - better nutrition as evidenced by height and diet diversity, not drinking dirty water or eating dirty food, temperature controls, modern policing, not regularly exposed to dangerous animals or conditions, etc.

I received the notification today for a 4.9 or something like that. It took me at least a half second to second to read the message.

I agree with your point that the message should have way less info which could buy me additional time.

Something like:
4.5-5.9: “Earthquake cat 1”
6.0-6.3: “Earthquake cat 2”

Etc. something to tell me, get ready, or something to tell me this is going to be huge, but not precise numbers or even better:

“Earthquake, 3.87 seconds” with a count down would be ideal. If I have 7 seconds I can get outside. 2 seconds and I duck and cover.
Airlines have the passengers. Now they need the planes
I agree with most of what you're saying. I think at least the first 2 engineers in the team should be experienced in the stack. And nobody inexperienced should ever be making initial design and architecture decisions.

The commenter I was responding to was saying it takes years to learn that stuff and I disagree with that. Smart engineers can get up to speed in a few months with an experienced team.
Ask HN: How do you find a new job?
Hey, I'm looking for a new gig in a small company. I've been mainly chased until now, which landed me series of jobs that others wanted me to do, rather than something that truly inspired me to get out of bed.

Linkedin jobs mostly seem garbage, is there a more adapter place where people find technology jobs?
I think they really failed to deliver on the core promise of Stadia: making games a part of the internet the way YouTube videos are.

If they really made it the case that AAA gaming was just another type of content you might bump into in a pre-roll ad, or in one of your social media content streams, I have a hard time imagining how that would not be a massive success.

It's an incredibly rich form of content, and they would have been competitive in so many ways. Think about all the kids and teenagers out there who would love to play games and for whatever reason can't get access to gaming hardware.

If they could somehow get a free taste of AAA games on their phones, it seems like you would be able to find some way to make that profitable over time.

Instead it ended up being a worse console which nobody knew existed.
Interestingly, this ruling holds the Health Commissioner can issue vaccine mandates. What they can't do is create employment conditions, prohibit employees from going to work or terminate employees.

Procedurally, the Health Commissioner could have created the mandate and then had the various departments go through their due process. (Though based on the vaccine being non-sterilizing, that mandate may not have held either.)
Great coverage on those answers. Thanks!

One followup: have you considered handling the actual usage calculation and aggregation? One use case that comes to mind is accepting API request logs from (CloudFlare|CloudFront|Logstash), processing them, and directly deriving billing from those. That moves the entire process outside of a system your customer has to touch (in cases where complex application-layer knowledge isn't needed). One less thing for a potential customer to worry about (and removes one of the reasons to need read access to a database in many cases).

Again, all the best! Happy hacking. :)
