Gain Compliance | Program Manager | Full-Time | Remote (or Des Moines, IA) | US only.

We are looking for a Program Manager to join our growing team. We are a small, but rapidly growing SaaS software company with products that serve the insurance industry. We are looking for an experienced program manager to keep things running smoothly and to help shape our product development practices.

We have a great team of super smart individuals who have been very focused on the growth opportunities right in front of us. Now, it is time to start being more intentional in optimizing how we “do product” together as a remote product team. Your job will be to help us execute on product/company goals, to look for ways to increase shared understanding across the team, to increase communication and collaboration within and across teams, and to help us reduce the friction in how we work.

If this sounds interesting to you, you can find more on our website: https://gaincompliance.com/program-manager/
DF is a great case study on how it doesn't matter how good a program or game is, if the UX is not great it just won't take off. Rimworld contains a fraction of the features of DF but has seen massive success where DF is yet to.

Would love to jump in to DF with this new release.
I found the verb cute… 2-3 years back and still haven’t visited Mastodon for that many years. What kept me off was none of my people were there not the tacky name.
Yeah, and it's crazy because there isn't much evidence of demand induced inflation in any of the advanced economies... Here in Australia we have massive inflation in the cost of energy (for obvious reasons given world events), but at the same time, the mining, oil & gas companies all have spiraling profits too, making massive windfall profits on the increases (they still manage to structure their businesses to pay almost no tax though...) Meanwhile, real wages, which have been fairly stagnant compared to profits over the last decades, are now down.
Lol teachers? I don't know about where you live but where I live teachers couldn't get out of the classroom fast enough.

Few professions discredited themselves as much as teachers over the pandemic. Spent a good 2 years in many places screaming "We aren't essential, shut the schools!" never mind the impact on the kids.
That's not new? Computational photography has existed for years in iPhone, and decent Night Mode shots have been possible since the Pixel 3. Nobody is changing the game here, it's just some Apple nerds talking about the new Apple product. That's fine, but it's passe to talk about how revolutionary a notched camera is, or how great computational photography has become. We know these things are good.

That's why these Halide iPhone camera reviews are perennially worthless. They've never released a review that feels critically substantially. It's simply "here's the new iPhone hardware we're being forced to support" being copywritten as ad-material for their app.
Why do you feel compelled to have an account there? All the discussion shows that the place is a hostile police state. You can still read everything without contributions so why bother?
> Dropping rates doesn't really affect spending that much

Have that conversation with people who aren't on tech salaries. Each rate rise brings more cuts to the weekly budget.
> I content there's something quite different between e.g. removing an unused argument or renaming a variable (both of which should be entirely automated, and hardly count as refactoring) and separation of concerns, which concerns the purpose, architecture and operation of the code.

> I heartily endorse tidy code, good naming, etc. I would put that, though, in a separate category from refactoring.

I don't see the distinction. In either case you're trying to change the code into some equivalent code that's easier to comprehend; separation of concerns may involve more subjective judgement than applying consistent formatting to your source code (though I've seen plenty of subjective arguments about the right way to format code), but they're both the same kind of work.

> "Access to source code" is a maintenance goal, it just usually goes without saying and is rarely an issue.

I've never seen it considered a "goal" for any usual definition of goal. Rather keeping access to the source code is something you do as a means to an end; you want to make sure you can easily achieve future maintenance goals, even if you don't yet know what those goals are. And I'd take the view that refactoring to make your code more easily comprehensible is valuable in the same way and for the same reasons.
I would add, "OUTLIERS by Malcolm Gladwell." It gives you an understanding that hard work will help you achieve what you want in life. There are other factors but hard work is vital.
> That really should depend upon the output.

Except, in copyright law it depends on the _input_.

These models would not exist if they were not first fed the source material.

Until we have systems that are not trained on a pre-existing corpus this will remain true. No matter how clever the algorithm, without the source material you have no output. Zilch. Nada.

Now, when the source material is someone else's property this means that without - someone else's property - you would have had no output.

So, when you want to use someone else's property, which you do not own, the general rule is that you a) first ask them if you may and b) pay them for the right to use their property.

In this sense it is no different than using a photocopier.

It's the copyright ownership of the material you put into the machine that will interest the judge not the quality of the copy.

I'm really looking forward to the first court cases and predict that much hilarity will ensue!
This title serves to illustrate that HN’s unnecessary (to me) policy of culling leading conjunctions such as how and why can lead to misleading titles such as this one.

My first instinct was, even before skimming the actual article, to comment a snarky “well, yes that’s kind of the point.” But then I decided to click on the link and see that the actual title of the article is “__HOW__ Rate Hikes Are Affecting the Economy,” which actually makes sense and denotes something completely different than it does when the “how” is omitted.

Can anyone explain why HN’s submission script does this? Because IMO it is more of a nuisance than having any perceived benefits. I understand that it is perhaps just a mechanism to shorten titles, but I think the feature should be removed (no pun intended!)
Making a Homemade LCD Screen
Mostly because of the philosophy of the software's author. This was the selling point for me. It is incredibly small scoped by design, easy to understand, and is very explicit in it's actions. It is not as "user friendly" as other inits, though the author is currently working on making it more accessible. It practices separation of mechanism and policy, it attempts to do less than more, and it know when to stop and not introduce scope creep. All by design. I won't ever have to worry about it becoming a system layer and reaching into my network stack, or making policy decisions for me.

I'm sure other available init systems have their selling points - but to be honest, after reading s6's reasoning and design goals I was sold. I'm happy to report that after a year and a half I'm pleased with the decision.

>Tokyo definitely has places without (a) toilets in your apartment (you have access to one in the same building though) and (b) places without showers in building (you'll have to use a bathhouse).

These are really old buildings. No one is building new housing units like this.

This is like judging places in America based on trailer homes made in the 1960s.
The suppression of government bond yields and money creation via quantitative easing were needed if states were to pay people's salaries during lockdowns. Governments would not have been able to raise that much money on the open market without central bank intervention.
alcohol bad, yo.
Not being able to post isn't "shadowbanning", in fact it's the opposite, being able to post but generally not realising that it went to /dev/null

Have you considered emailing and asking about why this is happening?
For iOS, you have the altstore with uYouPlus. It's basically a modded youtube with adblock and sponsorblock. The sideloading is hacky but it works

The theoretical subject (routing, etc.) you're looking for is Delay Tolerant Networking.

At the user layer, IPFS or a better collaborative, content-addressed filesytem could be used - request a movie, then watch it once it downloads in 20 minutes. Once it's cached locally, anyone else can access it instantly. Federated communication apps with state-resolution (like Matrix but more asynchronous) would allow instant local communications, while still seamlessly supporting interplanetary contact.

Floors and ceilings are concepts that only make sense in the context of gravity. The reason that science fiction movie space stations look like that is because they were filmed on earth.
>And thinking->problem solving->success is a plausible path to get there

Sure, if this is what he means, then he is correct. But what he wrote is just "thinking" which is false.

>which is why I disagree with your statement that they are lying to themselves, ignoring the existential truth that we are always lying to ourselves.

It is a bit. The success of problem solving usually comes with only a mild dopamine hit. There are way more situations that create a greater surge of dopamine. Parent stated "thinking" was the most pleasurable thing ever which obviously not the case for people in general.

For example it's much more pleasurable to win a billion dollars or successfully bed the hottest girl in the club or to dominate everyone else in some competition. Clearly our biology is geared towards giving huge rushes of dopamine for situations that aren't exactly tied to "thinking" or strictly "problem solving". I find it hard to believe that the parent is completely unaware of this. He must know on some level. That's why I claim he's lying to himself.
Reminds me of the expression "that's so fetch".

Stop trying to make CRO happen, it's not going to happen
> What? No... Screen readers do best with standard elements and you're supposed to avoid aria labels where possible, and only as a last resort.

Yes, you should avoid overusing them, which is the point the author is turning into a "code smell", but I've no idea how the heck you would pass an AAA or even a AA audit without aria-* labels.

Can you point me to a significant site, i.e. one that's not just a simple content site, that doesn't use aria-* tags at all?
So Twitter's monetization system is basically going to work the same way domains do with squatters?
Oh absolutely -- I wanted to give Darktable a chance, and I really worked to figure out enough to actually do meaningful edits.

I think it's a great example of the phrase "took many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth". For any given editing task you want, there are like 5 different modules that all do basically different variations on the same thing, and each one has quirks that presumably only make sense to the original author of that module.
>Tokyo had negative population growth in 2022 and is forecasted to continue decreasing in population.

Any such forecasts you can take with a giant heap of salt. 2022 is this year, and isn't even over yet, and is on the tail end of a worldwide pandemic. Many people have moved away from urban cores because of the rise of WFH. Now, according to the news, many companies in the US at least are cracking down on this and demanding workers come back to the office, so it's anyone's guess what housing trends in cities, including Tokyo, will be in the next 5 years.

Condor Software | Software Engineer, Full Stack | Remote, San Diego, New York, or Boston | Full-time

Condor is building a world where finance accelerates human progress in medicine.

Our mission is to help biotech finance teams save time, money, and lives by bringing more cutting-edge therapies to market, faster and more affordably.

We started Condor because we realized that the life-saving treatments needed by our loved ones were held back by billions of dollars in complicated, time-consuming, and inefficient financial processes, which consistently delay clinical trial deployment and growth.

With more demand than we can currently service, we're looking for product leaning software engineers interested in tackling a big, hairy, complex business domain, value building "code that is easy to delete," and geek out about going "six levels down" (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-1-six-levels-d...) and skilled people who are also "good humans" interested in our mission.

Interested? Shoot us an email available in the link above with a note about why you're interested in joining and a resume or link to projects.
Why are we complaining?

You're right that systemd provides useful things that sysvinit was not strong about. That is not enough to make systemd as distributed a good init system. It is a bloated C codebase with no definition of goals, instead it suffers never-ending mission creep.

In mainstream distros, while it does init, it also meddles in too many things it should not, like spawning zillions of needless user session processes hogging the system, mutilated system and service logging and others. It hangs randomly nondeterministically on boot too often, disrespects the user by ignoring keyboard input, etc.

The major point of critique of systemd push is to make people know that many don't like the offered product for its mediocre results as an init system, and uncalled for meddling in other business such as system logging. And we welcome new leaner init systems, such as s6.
If the headline is a closed question, the answer is in the article is no.
This argument every time I hear it is so ridiculous.

It's like saying that the CNC machine should also be given mandatory time off each year just as all the other factory workers.

One is a machine, the other a human, what rights and laws apply to one don't mean they make sense and should be applied to the other.

The better framing is, should art students also be allowed to make derived work from copyrighted images without permission?

The output image from a model is basically a derivation from it's entire dataset, I mean this is mathematically demonstrable. If it wasn't for a few stochastic parts of the model and explicitly added randomization, it be deterministic even.

It takes copyrighted work + prompt and outputs derived image.

I don't think the question of derivation is being debated that much though, the question is if it's fair use. As in, deriving from copyrighted work a ML model, maybe that's fair use. And that's what has to be figured out.
Did you try Logseq?

It is flat file but still queryable (and it is fast).
Note that the map they produce will be of surface properties (like mineral composition), not methane.

The surface properties are the main intermediate product on the way to the climate-related overall goal (https://earth.jpl.nasa.gov/emit/science/objectives/). Namely, does the dust lofted from these deserts heat or cool the Earth?
They do have 100 million in backed VC funding. They obviously intend to profit somehow.

I very much sympathize with her because it isn't fair, but I do find it slightly hypocritical that when looking at the work on her website, much of it is drawing other copyrighted work.

I suspect the only acceptable answer here is to disallow AI training of copyrighted material, but this only delays the models supplanting the actual artists (because people will contribute to and build up a pool of copyright-free training material), it doesn't prevent the ultimate issue of people being replaced by AI.
We've done that now (all 172 of them).

One common explanation is that inflation is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Let's say, you have $1000 today that can buy you a certain gadget. You know that you won't need it until the next year, but in a year that same gadget will cost $1200 due to inflation. So you buy it right now for $1000, even though you could get by for another year. This increases the amount of money bidding for a limited supply of gadgets, so the seller can easily rise the price to $1100 right away, speeding up inflation even further.

To combat this, the interest rate is raised to the point where you could put your $1000 to the bank, get $1200 in a year, and still buy that gadget. Fewer people are competing for it right now, so if the seller raises the asking price for $1100, many people would rather overpay right away.

In reality, we have been printing money like crazy ever since 2008 [0], but rather than immediately raising the price of bread and beef, it went into speculative investments (VC bubble, crypto), assets (housing), bullshit jobs (exponentially growing number of bureaucrat jobs), etc. Now the Ukrainian war and Chinese COVID policies have disrupted some supply chain mechanisms that worked out of inertia, and it turns out we might have killed the mechanisms that would otherwise kick in and redistribute the weight. Nobody wants to step up and produce more stuff - we got too used that we can just print more money and have someone else accept is for payment. Except now we are running out of eager participants, so more and more money is being pulled out of that hip dog spa startup and is bidding up the prices of bread and rice.

I don't think the rates will fix the inflation overnight, but they may start a long and painful process of incentivizing more productive work, rather than asking for a bailout in the loudest way. And we desperately need to do this because just printing more money without "printing" more oil, chips, foods and everything else will inevitably result in Venezuela-style hyperinflation, destroying the rest of the economy. You do not want to live through it, really.

I could be wrong but I believe they have a unified address space. There’s dedicated hardware that then owns a given memory range. On an access it will fetch it from the remote location matching that address on demand and store it in real memory in space allocated to it. Presumably it evicts stuff if there’s insufficient memory. Once the memory is brought over either a virtual address range is remapped to point to main memory or the ASIC just has a TLB itself.

This is pure speculation based on seeing the word ASIC in one of the summaries but it seems like it could be reasonable.
I'm agreeing with you in the sense that even if the bleeding edge didn't progress, we will still have the kind of advancements occurring that you would like to see.

As a random example, full-frame camera CMOS sensors are made with very old processes (relatively speaking), and have very little "logic" on them. If manufactured with 3nm, they could have something like 2,000 transistors per pixel! That would enable seemingly magical "digital imaging" capabilities, such as infinite dynamic range, perfect digital vibration compensation, ultra-high framerates, etc...
Is there a way to IDK 3d earthen print a geodesic dome over the site and capture the waste methane (natural gas) into local tanks?

TIL about CBG: Cleaner Burning Gasoline

From https://twitter.com/westurner/status/1564443689623195650 :

> In September 2021 we covered a new "green gasoline" concept from @NaceroCo [in Penwell, TX] that involves constructing gasoline hydrocarbons by assembling smaller #methane molecules from natural gas

From https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/Opi... :

> The Inflation Reduction Act imposes a fee of [$900/ton] of methane starting in 2024 — this is roughly twice the current record-high price of natural gas and five times the average price of natural gas in 2020.

> These high fees present a strong incentive

>request a movie, then watch it once it downloads in 20 minutes. Once it's cached locally, anyone else can access it instantly.

A program I use called Deluge implements this exact functionality!
I would pay good money for one if it works well.
That's kind of obvious - I was wondering how many orders of magnitude more :-).
I've already seen it happen a little.

There's a few games, albeit often indie, where they used generative music makers for their soundtrack, saving them having to hire a music producer.

I mean, if you've used or tried any of those models, you know that very soon it will allow an artist to be way more productive, what needed 50 artists might only need 30 now.

I'd really be surprised if this didn't cost jobs.

The only possibility it doesn't is that the projects get even bigger in scope, so increase productivity would go into more am ambitious projects instead of job cuts.
