Shouldn't AI be able to track down these security problems in C and C++ code and patch them properly? It kind of seems like if current AI can't solve these problems which are strictly programmatic then what else can we expect them to solve. Or is even this some kind of NP level problem?
> The thesis is that there is more demand than supply of basically everything (not least oil) causing a positive feedback loop on prices.

That's a myth. Inflation is caused by a river of money poured into the economy. Supply&Demand forces then devalue the money, i.e. inflation.

There is no feedback loop. Stop pouring the money in, and inflation will stop.
>This is a hellhole that in no way reflects good SAFe practices. PI Planning is 2 days. 2.5 if you're partially time shifted to accommodate teams in disparate time zones.

Our PI planning consists of a combined demo session and Q&A, a combined I&A, then separate demos and I&A's for each of the ART's. That in of itself can take 1 to 2 days because of the number of demos that each ART has to include. Then 3 or 4 days of team breakouts for writing stories, a full day for draft plan review, then another 2 to 3 days ish days to take in feedback from the review and adjust the plans, then another day of final draft plans review.

You can't fit that into two days. You can't even fit that into a week. But those those rituals are more core to SAFe Agile then an arbitrary time frame for PI Planning. So the 2 day limit had to be dropped to fit in the core principles of SAFe.

So yes it does align and yes it follows good SAFe Practices. Didn't you yourself say that one shouldn't try to the organization into SAFe's structure?

> There's so much more about this that I want to respond to but I'm going to shorten it to this: SAFe calls for planning a maximum of 2/3 of your estimated capacity (based on historic velocity) and then leaving the last 2 weeks of the PI entirely unplanned. All of this is built in buffer time specifically to ensure time built in to deal with unexpected things that will inevitably come up. Defects in production should be addressed immediately in any environment.

Our sprints are loaded to 50% to 65%, with few exceptions. But with how big our team is, that means that 2/3 loading is around 40 points per sprint that needs to be planned. And our standard practice also are expected to pull in New Features / stories from the next sprint, or work on items as assigned by the PO from the backlog if things are finished on schedule.

>This is simply a terrible and broken environment facilitated by people who apparently had no idea what they were doing. This is an environment where managers have exerted strict control rather than allowing people close to the problem to take the action that they know needs to be taken. Which is again...not SAFe.

All our Certified SAFe Professionals says this is SAFe. The training I got aligns to what we practice. This is SAFe by the strictest definition of following processes and practices.

But like Russian elections and referendums, you can have all the form, technically meet all the criteria, and have none of the of substance. And be honest... would it surprise you one bit to think that insincere ceremony isn't exactly what many so called leaders want?

Ideal roles: firmware/low-level, high-traffic, large-scale backend service work (working w/large data sets that need bespoke engineering), "impossible" technical challenges.

I've done everything up and down the stack from low-level assembly up to massive web-scale work. Most recently I was a director of engineering at FullStory, focused on a mobile analytics product that I built from zero, wrote patents for, and hired up a team to take over. I'm looking more at low-level work right now at a small company with good culture.

I'm also happy to discuss any other interesting opportunities, especially if they come with difficult and interesting problems.
A PHEV would be a godsend to work trucks. All electric puttering around the worksite, great torque from the electric motors, but long distance range-extends with a high efficiency gas engine.

Most starting salaries in tech are over $100k, at least in high COL areas. That's why the limit.
It's not hard to figure out why. Just look here:

It's obviously the domain that's at issue, not you. And the reason the domain is apparently blacklisted is most likely because the mods judged a previously seen pattern of incredibly frequent submissions by a very small group of users to be spam. I mean, I'm just guessing as I'm not part of YC or anything, but based on past comments by the various principals here, and extrapolating a little bit, it seems pretty straightforward.

But if you really want to know, I'd say go with what the guidelines[1] say:

My main criterion is being able to use existing software since I can’t have folks install anything that’s not approved. This brings me to the web browser, which, for better or worse, has become the ultimate application distribution platform. I suppose it’s not strictly necessary that the programs be delivered as a single file but given that I probably won’t be able to properly host them, I figure it’s easiest to just have a self-contained .html file that can exist on the NAS or be sent via email.

I’m not trying to build anything huge; mostly just a few utilities with some buttons and text input forms that spit out XML files, for instance.

Thanks mate.
The consultants would have to knowingly copy from somewhere. One can hope they're educated on licensing, at least if they expect to get paid.

If Microsoft is so confident in Pilot doing sufficient remixing then why not train it on their own internal code? And why put the burden of IP vetting on clients who have less info than Pilot?
In my circle; its still as strong as its ever been. Local VC-backed companies are still looking for people. Local VCs are still investing in tech companies (maybe at a slower rate, but its not obvious to me this is the case). My company (publicly listed Big Tech) froze hiring in engineering throughout Q3, but our org just got approval for 100+ engineering hires (around 10% org growth) for Q1.

This is a stupid summary with glaring false statements. It should be rightly ridiculed and rejected.
Well I actually use zsh (I always mean to switch to oil though), and.. in zsh, you don't need to quote variables? Are you sure?

Oh.. I just tested here. It works!

$ mkdir -p /q/a\ b/x
$ a="a b"
$ ls /q/$a
x

And in bash:

$ a="a b"
$ ls /q/$a
ls: cannot access '/q/a': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'b': No such file or directory

The weird thing is, my shell is zsh but my shell scrip ts are all either #!/bin/bash or straight #!/bin/sh, so I never took advantage of this

Creators can benefit as much as they want. Just not through artificial scarcity. That ship sailed the second computers were invented and they need to stop trying to put that genie back in its bottle.

Either copyright remains unenforceable or computing as we know it today will be destroyed. There is no middle ground and I know which side I'm on. Computers are among the greatest inventions of humanity, they are too precious to be jeopardized because of such concerns as invalidated business models.
Great, now i have to watch the whole series again just to find that episode.

It stopped the exploding housing prices dead in its tracks, and houses are actually losing value.
I'm not convinced that the drop in interest rates at the start of the pandemic was necessary or wise. The economic contraction was due to governments instructing people to shut their businesses down and simply lifting those was all that was necessary to revive the economy. It wasn't a recession situation where consumer spending needed to be stimulated.
Had a quick look, but it seems not possible to make a normal note with normal paragraphs. Every line has a bullet point. That's a showstopper for me.

No tagging system. Categories are not tags. Tags are essential, and also search options for basic things like searching all contents of note, or just note names, or just within a category/folder. Customisation of home screen (recent and fav notes), pinned notes, etc.

This is why I'm building my own notes app, just for me, no plans to release it. I think these kinds of apps end up being very personal, in terms of customisation and features. For example, I need specific UX that allows fast access to notes, and I definitely prefer having an old fashioned "save" button in the note rather than auto-saving as you type (I can't stand that). Lots of little details that please me but not necessarily others. Also.. kind of on the easier side of web app building, which suits me!
They have WSJ, Newsweek, Miami Herald, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle. The main one they don't have (and probably won't ever have) is NY Times.

The other major downside is it's only available on Apple devices (of course).
What is it about RISC-V assembly you didn't like? The little I've done seems like slightly more hassle than amd64 assembly but nothing like the level of bending over backwards of 6502 assembly.
I’m a research scientist and mostly use it to keep up with people working in similar fields.

There’s certainly some marketing (“Check out our new paper”, “My lab is hiring”, etc), but it’s not particularly top-down; everybody does it to some extent. It’s also mixed in with actual scientific discussion, lab “hacks”, and some silly banter/blowing off steam. All in all, it’s been pretty helpful for me careerwise. I think I’ve gotten more useful advice about grant writing and papers to read than many more formal mentorship arrangements.

There are a few “blue checks”, but they’re mostly a) early adopters or b) people with some kind of public presence. As far as I can tell, neither I nor most others care about the checkmark per se. I talked about my research (twice!) with John Carmack and it was cool to know that it was really the Doom Guy, but I think I probably would have engaged with anybody equally curious about my work.
ML is where the significant future growth is very likely to be, so cutting it now is basically eating the seed corn.
I think we're kidding ourselves to think that clustering features of existing works and iteratively removing noise based on that clustering is somehow comparable to building up human experiences and expressing them through art.

Using the "brain in a jar" thought experiment, you're making the assumption that the iterative denoising process is equivalent to the way the "brain in the jar" would generate art. Since the question is whether or not the processes are equivalent, it seems nonsensical to have to assume their equivalence for your argument.
Interactive Storytelling Tools for Writers
I would argue that San Francisco would be at the top of the list. I live in Los Angeles and often when I've asked successful tech businessmen why they live here rather than in San Francisco, it has to do with lifestyle and glamour and not so much the business itself.
Why? That is a very good question!

Libc and linux kernel are good solutions to well defined problems: a standard C library, and a kernel. They pretty much do what is expected, sometimes they do more, but not by much.

Systemd? It is not a good replacement for an init system for the users. Instead, it is an OS functionality accretion for the benefit of distributors, a baroque monstrosity that provides mediocre buggy solutions to too many problems that have nothing to do with init. It boots nondeterministically (socket activation is not such a universally great idea), sometimes hangs randomly, it disrespects the user when ignoring keyboard input while waiting 90s or indefinitely for some condition, or launching zillions of bogus hog processes for every user login event. Some of these can be mitigated on a production server, but bad taste remains.
And recent data should make one question why, when remaining inflation is mostly from rent, would this inflation be reduced by increased interest rates.

AI image recognition is widely in use for real products today. I use it pretty regularly to identify plants. Have even used it a few times to identify electrical or mechanical parts.
Again, although you’re technically correct, I don’t think it changes my overall point.
Nice observation. It's more like a direct marketing channel than an actual consumable. The most successful users are directing users to YouTube, e-commerce, voting booths or news sites to actually convert.
The culinary degree is not the short order scramble eggs type cook (and my apologies to short order cooks reading this - I know you do a lot more than that).

A culinary degree also covers food safety, nutrition, sanitation, menu planning, a bit of accounting (purchasing, inventory, storage), and other topics.

This isn't a four year STEM bachelors degree, but you want to make sure you have someone who isn't mixing utensils, going short on provisions, or spoiling food.
Many (most?) software developers believe that software shouldn't be patentable at all. Many also believe that copyright terms should be way shorter.
Maybe a random post button? I sort of like the idea of experiencing the overwhelming incoherentness. I often find interesting stuff when clicking the “new” button on HN.
Yes. Most of my searches fail. No matter how I formulate my queries, Google shows me mostly unrelated results, and seems to ignore a big part of the internet.

For "is it just me?" searches, I manually search Twitter and Reddit.

For best product or service searches, I have simply given up. I only get Nepali restaurant recommendations from a Brit with a blog who spent 3 days there. Product recommendations are pure affiliate spam. Good luck finding critical reviews of anything.

For programming searches, I click the same few websites, and heavily filter the results with uBlacklist. In the end, it's usually stackoverflow and a few self-hosted programming blogs. For some reason w3schools keeps outranking MDN.

Software problem searches ("how to do X in Android") just lead to generic troubleshooting websites that sell software or malware.

I have an ad blocker of course. I was shocked to see what Google results look like without one. My website isn't the first result like I thought, but hidden below half a dozen ads.

I'm just tired of modern tech. It's just broken recommendation engines and coercive UIs.
I agree, my wife and I are one of these super users. We ironically have a diesel f250, we live in San Francisco and I bike or take public transportation for nearly all my day to day travel needs, as well as my commute to work. As soon as we find an electric or alternative fuel truck that meets our needs (tow ~10k lbs ~400 miles in a day) we will switch to it.
It's safe to assume that your data go anywhere and everywhere.
Sorry, I'm a photo-noob. What type of post-processing is the iPhone doing that professional would do themselves with RAW? Looking at RawTherapee, it looks like colour profiling. What other operations do people do?
Me too! I love seeing a fellow RVer here on HN, pretty small overlap between the two I expect. In also live in SF.
Yeah, proper dosing of cannabis is tricky. I think used sparingly and in small doses it can be helpful for many creative practices. It is very easy to take too much or use it too often because the feeling of being high can be so pleasurable (except when you get paranoid and it's the absolute worst). It also can make you feel very inflated, which is a great feeling in the moment, but kind of embarrassing when you look back at the reduced quality of what you actually produce when high. Still, I think there is value in it since I have had useful insights while high that motivated me when I sobered up and was better able to execute on my inflated ambitions.

Alcohol, on the other hand, I have really not found especially helpful for creativity. YMMV.
Nah, not that. New supply is necessary to maintain price stability in a growing economy. If you stop adding supply you get a deflationary spiral. Similarly the ability to contract supply is necessary to maintain stability in a contracting economy. Honestly even Austrians generally agree with that statement. Their theory is inflation is a result of increasing supply in excess of productivity and that it shouldn't under any circumstances be measured. Which is stilly and rejected in favor of actually measuring price change, but I digress.

The theory you're espousing there, the 'cantillon effect' has to my knowledge never once been quantified. Nobody seems to have any idea to what extent it actually exists, and if it exists, what the magnitude of its impact is. If you have a peer-reviewed study I'd love to see it but I sure haven't found one.
It seems misleading to adjust those #s for inflation if the size of the stock market recovery after the COVID crash isn't also adjusted for inflation.
It's actually great news if you are a horse. Horses don't like to pull things.
I found this very interesting.
Yes and no. Removing an unused parameter, for example, seems like something that's wise to do for the sake of code maintainability even if one has no specific future tasks/changes in mind. Likewise things like right-length variable names and proper separation of orthogonal concerns. The way I see it, any kind of future maintenance will involve understanding the current code, so unless you expect the code to be abandoned soon, refactoring to improve comprehensibility is legitimate. (Otherwise why even keep the source code at all? If you take the position that there's no point in maintainability without specific maintenance goals, why not keep only the compiled binaries?)

Hello HN, I'm James. I get the most joy out of helping other people accomplish their goals or doing more with their time. I've found I do this best when I'm part of a small team, with diverse skills and ideas. (I like working with designers and editors.)

My first love was with developing for the web (and what I'd love to have as a primary focus again), but sometimes you just need a console application, or to spend some time researching existing tools.

I believe that the more you understand the tools and environments you're using, the more capable you are of solving problems now and in the future.

I believe in open communication, mentoring, the right amount of documentation, and enhancements over time.

If you think we might be a match, and/or have any questions, happy to chat at the email listed above. Thanks for your time. :)
I use it for that too, I said things I couldn't do without.
