This post leads me to believe you don't have much experience with people from diverse backgrounds.

You should see how different 'white people' are on average every few hundred miles in Europe
Newton being knowledge about physics doesn't mean he was immune from financial scams.

There isn't much appetite for regulation, at least in the US. What would you propose?

I'm one of the co-founders of Hotjar, so a fair bit of the original code was mine. Most of it has obviously been replaced by others after all these years.

I'm equally, if not more, proud of an extremely bad Dig Dug clone I made in Amos Pro as a kid though :). That's what eventually caused me to pursue a career in software development.
Yes 11 years of your life is 11 years of your life, but in reality a woman like her, with her (deviated) skill set and profile, can easily handle it in a manner that will convince the average person that she got off lightly. People who are less educated and have less influence are capable of pulling off what I’ve been describing (getting a cellphone and going on Facebook/Meta) while in Federal prison.
If a developer tells you they can deliver by x, and they also don't know how to do it, what is the level of confidence you have that will occur?
Good question. Maybe take what they took, garnish future wages, have them make some kind of restitution, or something similar. I think if prison sentences were applied reasonably, reliably, and objectively they'd be a better deterrent. For instance, if it wasn't a gamble worth taking, if the consequences were guaranteed and applied evenly, I think people wouldn't risk this kind of fraud. Overcompensating by applying rare and lengthy prison sentences as a warning just makes this akin to a ghost story that rich people tell each other.
It does and her fangirl'ing of Steve Jobs is notorious. But she was in a different field than Jobs was.

The problem is, the medical field has stricter laws around it, and it's much easier to prove that someone is lying.
I wanted to make a twitter bot that posted whenever a pedestrian/cyclist got hit by a car.

I'd need to:

- Wait for a MED6 or AID response code to come across the live event stream

- Listen to the radio chatter to see if it was a pedestrian getting hit (use GPT3 on the transcription to determine if the text was about a ped/cyclist getting hit)

- Maybe also correlate to SPD logging a 'mvc with injuries' at the same location
I've found that it's becoming increasingly common to use metric for height and weight also - particularly with younger people etc.

I think we'll soon be left with the only remaining imperial bits being speed, long distances, and pints of beer - none of which seem likely to go away any time soon
Really cool, that would be a killer feature. Definitely post here when this gets released!
I may need to recalibrate in light of FTX. Did Sequoia know what was really happening?
The alternative is being at the behest of foreign oil price manipulation. Moving away from oil seems like a pretty good way to prevent dipping into strategic reserves to me.
Find companies with socially relevant and/or idiosyncratic missions. Look for teams that tilt older. Stay away from sv hype and nonsense.
I hope it has a giant vibration motor to emulate the lurch.
The reason Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine have had war in the last twenty years is because Russia wants them to be vassal states
We are talking about the penitentiary here, chap.
He can get away with paying below market rates to Tesla engineers for the same reason video game companies can do it: people think it would be cool to work there. It doesn't seem plausible to me that if Musk can't get people to work at Twitter for cheap he wouldn't just offer more rather than let it die.
Even now, simple (but not so basic) productivity commands like reading/sending email and creating/editing note lists are possible. So, I think knowing how much people use them could still be a useful metric.

However, you actually touched a key problem relating to those generic assistants: if they are not really basic anymore but still very limited, how do we know what it can/can't do? RTFM? No way !
This woman likely killed people (directly via suicide, indirectly via false tests). This sentence is light IMO.

It looks like it could be interesting for projects at work, but it's hard to tell without more information around price, SLA and details about the service - for example in order to do an informed risk assessment.

Is it just software developers that he's fired, though? I was under the impression he's been firing from pretty much every department.
> This debt is on the cosmic books so to speak: it's very real and must be dealt with either by forgiveness or retributive justice (or a combination of the two). Restorative justice is important but can't fix the original debt.

Retributive justice can't fix the debt, either - it just makes more people hurt than before.
Impactful? Probably CMake policy CMP0053[1]. Improved performance of CMake configures by 30%-50% depending on how intricate the code was.

While not done yet, getting C++20 modules to compile via CMake will probably eclipse that.

> Does the free speech absolutism you're arguing against allow for sonic cannons?

When did I mention sonic cannons? WT actual F.
In the hypothetical fantasy scenario in which I'm assuming leadership of a company that I claim is plagued by poor engineering practices -- practices which include bad documentation -- the last thing I would want to do is order people to turn off stuff without making sure that the stuff they're turning off is mission critical. Hell, I would do my best to make sure I don't issue orders that could even be misconstrued as that.

But hey, maybe that's why I'm just an engineer without any interest of making the switch to the "leadership" ladder, and not a CEO.
> Then joke is on them because the far right is also anti-capitalist

It might look like anti-capitalism, but time and time again, the far right's "problem" with capitalism is actually a problem with the results of liberal democracy in capitalist societies.

They very much want capitalism, but not a corrupted form of it. They feel that capitalist liberal democracy rewards the wrong people, like allowing what were once subservient minorities to succeed and accumulate wealth, sometimes surpassing the success of the majority, or allowing non-traditional people, art, cultures, etc to flourish if there was a market for it.

For example, Nazis were very much about the Social Darwinist aspects of naked capitalism, and the word privatization was coined to describe Nazi economic policy[1]. However, they were very much against the results that capitalist liberalism allowed to flourish, which were the basis for their rhetoric around "degeneracy" and campaigns against what they saw as degeneration of traditional (and ultimately mythical, given the Aryan supremacy mythos) culture. They saw capitalism as corrupted by Jewish and foreign cabals that pulled the strings to keep the Volk down. What they ended up doing is seizing capital from Jewish people and gave it to German capitalists[2], which I wouldn't describe as anti-capitalist at all:

> Business owners benefitted as much as private individuals. Companies like Neckermann, which sold mail-order goods and vacation packages, and Evonik, a manufacturing group formerly known as Degussa, bought businesses formerly owned by Jewish people. The ability to consolidate power made them leaders of their industries, and implicit partners with the Nazi government. Each of these transactions were legal, and many were meticulously recorded.

While far right rhetoric seems on its face like it's anti-capitalist, because if you squint it can kind of look similar to the rhetoric from the left, that's a folly. Fascism and its ilk are reactions to liberal capitalism, and coincidentally, socialists have a lot to say about capitalism, but the similarities end there. It's a mistake to take such rhetoric as being inherently anti-capitalist and not, instead, anti-liberal society.

That's another problem of it's own.
In my experience there is a strong correlation between your ability to communicate clearly and your ability to write clean maintainable code.

The 10x developers I have worked with are all excellent communicators. The worst developers I have worked with most definitely weren’t.
Not while using the standard Greek alphabet. There is no letter for the sound /h/; it is represented as a diacritic mark applied to the first letter of a word.
That was a big thing in the 1950s. The Jefferson Electric Golden Hour clock worked the same way. One was given away with every Philco TV set one year, and millions were made.[1] They're available on eBay. Real gold plating, even.

Again: her sentencing memorandum doesn't even seem to mention the kid. We should be careful about making stuff up to fit a narrative.
Interesting question for jurists; can you commit a crime if you technically and legally don’t exist?
Hey, glad I could be of use. The problem with Whisper is that it needs a lot of GPU. Actually my Mac can't even use my GPU so right away I had to get it up on a server, but Whisper is so powerful and it's so amazing that it's open source I am surprised nobody did this yet. I could see them charging for it but may as well use it anyways, the other services are insanely expensive ($10/h?!) and I don't really like their UIs to boot lol
No, there are two hashes used in the Apple system, one public and neural and one hidden, the intent of both is to match specific known images and not unknown new ones, and the result of passing both hashes is a manual review and not automatic reporting. I've never seen a published attack that would actually be a problem; they all misread how the system worked.

(Also, it's not reported to the police but to NCMEC, which is not a government agency. This is for 4th amendment privacy reasons.)
Filthy rich people looking for a framework in which they can get to enjoy being rich, not advocating for any real change in the system, and feel morally superior because they're donating some meaningless amount to charities? Yeah, some cynicism is very much warranted for.

And before you say it, it's meaningless to donate even 90% of your fortune to someone like them. Specially to those glorified PR operations that are the charities they tend to support.
Also consider that in the same time, roughly the same --- or perhaps even more --- number of animals are born.
> There are southern European countries right now paying the same energy costs as northerners, even though they weren't reliant on the same sources.

Well, in principle there’s TAI for that. But civil time in most countries is defined in terms of UTC/GMT.
The main issue with the browser based tools is that developers seem to have given up on implementing html/css print standards. So there's a limit to what automation tools have to work with, so to speak. That said, paged.js makes a good effort.
Nothing that Elon said suggests that twitter will no longer issue bans or remove posts. In fact, we know that permanent bans are still in place, and he will obviously continue to do both.
Byte's not a prefix. Is it a problem for anyone when millimeters are written "mm"?
So if Martin Shkreli got 7 years for fraud, Elizabeth Holmes got 11 years for fraud. Does this mean SBF is looking at life in prison?

Hard to see why stealing billions of your customers money to spend gambling and buying personal items then lying about it multiple time isn't a bigger crime than what those two were sentenced for.
Something being Turing complete doesn't mean much. VBA isn't dangerous because it's Turing complete, it's dangerous because it has APIs that allow it direct access to the host system. You could perfectly well design a system that is not turing complete that would still expose the same kind of vulnerabilities.
Sentencing is weird.

If someone told me I was going to jail for a a week, it would be bad.

I’d someone told me I was having a week added to my 10 year sentence, I’m not sure if care that much.
On the face of it this seems really good, even if what is "hate" is a tricky question.

The whole bad news/outrage gets eyeballs is a major part of why the internet is more shit lately in my opinion.

Whether that works out remains to be seen but conceptually I like the idea.
Both of which are totally reasonable desires - but you should be the one that gets to decide which "mode" you're operating in. If you want only (and all) followees tweets - go to that view. If you want just the "greatest hits" of your followees - a second view. And if you want to trust in The Great Algorithm and take some recommendations, that's also reasonable. What I think people are really opposed to isn't necessarily recommendations algorithms, but rather algorithmic recommendations being forced upon them when not requested.
Good ideas.

Watching the tach is pretty unintuitive for someone who's never driven one, too.
I'm not enjoying how many comparisons lately I am hearing to the dotcom era.
> I really don’t think she’s a criminal

By this definition most white collar criminals aren't criminals. In any case, you shouldn't worry, she will get out in a few years for "good behavior".
> 1. The underlying logic behind earning to give is sound. You flying over to Africa or whatever to do charitable activities (digging a well?) is obviously going to be less impactful than you working at some high paid white collar job and then donating the money to pay some local laborers to do the same job.

It isn't obvious, and I'm skeptical both by cases like this and by the lack of domain expertise of a white-collar worker to be able to judge the veracity of charitable activities.

I mean, maybe if we had flush teams of water quality experts in every state with the time and expertise to judge whether water supplies are safe. But as it is, a team from Virginia Tech had to high tail it to Flint during their water crisis based on the reports they heard about lead levels there.

If there are too few domain experts or even too weak a web of trust to connect them to white collar donors, what you describe doesn't sound like an effective strategy. (Not to mention whatever it is that causes you to think that the approach is obviously superior to drilling down in some domain.)
Again, as with the sibling comment, I would like to see empirical data on the cost viability of existing solar and wind installations. Most of the links posted so far seem to present projections about the future, which seems to imply that wind and solar tend to be higher cost today.
It works only if I open in a tab in Safari on a 14 Pro. If I just click the link and the app opens it, it shows an error in the player window.
Ask HN: Review my dev portfolio startup
Hey, Felix from Stage here

Over the last couple of months we talked to engineers at the biggest tech companies like Google, Uber, Zillow & so many more to gain a good understanding how to approach the portfolio & dev reputation game.

The developer portfolio is a major part in presenting yourself as an developer. So we thought there could be an opportunity to improve this type of work & make it less painful, automate more & provide high value, so, today I'm proud to present you:

https://getstage.app

Stage is an API based developer portfolio, bring your data from sources like GitHub, LinkedIn, Spotify & more, ootb gorgeous design & be always in-sync. You can even create custom extensions w/ code.

With the layoffs crushing our industry atm, it's the first time in like a decade where it's even more important to have a good presentation online if you're affected. With our approach of fetching data from other sources, you don't go to update-hell. Just keep on updating the platforms & services you are anyway using.

What will it cost you ask? Creating a portfolio will be free, forever. We currently thinking about adding an paid analytics layer on top of it & also 1 really interested feature which was highly requested –> Tailoring: Fork your portfolio for a specific job or audience. Highlight / Hide different things based on one specific job description for example.

But there is so much more!! We're really excited to ship an alpha version by the end of the year and would be so happy if you share what you think :)
> If you follow a person with extreme opinions, you will still see their posts. Even if Twitter managed to address that problem

The purpose of following a person is to see their tweets. How is this a "problem"?
What if all trading world would not agree? No one could knew that in advance.
Very generous of you. I made a similar free service 3 years ago using much worse tools and it's so cool to see whisper making it all so much better and more efficient. Thanks for releasing for free
> Growing up without their mom for their first decade? Jesus christ man.

Growing up without a mom is a hardship. Growing up without her as their mother is a blessing.
OMG, that would be sadistic to start like that!
I had a summer internship where I got bored and read wikipedia a lot. Reading about engines and transmissions there helped me a lot when I learned to drive stick. Being able to visualize what was mechanically happening gave me a little bit better intuition about what to do. I still stalled, of course, but I felt like I had a better roadmap on how to improve.
Justin Mares co-authored Traction and then went on to start some very successful companies (Kettle & Fire etc)
WhatsApp is a very simple application. I don't want to minimize what they did, because good interface design is hard to do, but it's just an instant messaging and voip client. You can message a maximum of 512 people on whatsapp. Barack Obama can message 133.3 million on twitter.

These technical challenges aren't even on the same planet.
All the examples you've given are of team members struggling in a wider ecosystem. Yes, you can stamp your foot and hold them to their responsibilities on a single task. But you might deliver more value if you listened to the things holding them back, because there will always be future tasks.
Orwell wrote this in a letter in 1944:

"Everywhere the world movement seems to be in the direction of centralised economies which can be made to ‘work’ in an economic sense but which are not democratically organised and which tend to establish a caste system. With this go the horrors of emotional nationalism and a tendency to disbelieve in the existence of objective truth because all the facts have to fit in with the words and prophecies of some infallible fuhrer. Already history has in a sense ceased to exist, ie. there is no such thing as a history of our own times which could be universally accepted, and the exact sciences are endangered as soon as military necessity ceases to keep people up to the mark. Hitler can say that the Jews started the war, and if he survives that will become official history. He can’t say that two and two are five, because for the purposes of, say, ballistics they have to make four. But if the sort of world that I am afraid of arrives, a world of two or three great superstates which are unable to conquer one another, two and two could become five if the fuhrer wished it. That, so far as I can see, is the direction in which we are actually moving, though, of course, the process is reversible."
A long time ago I worked for one of the big medical journal publishing firms. (No, the other one.) I was one of the lead software developers, nominally in charge of the web application that served all of our licensed content to medical professionals and librarians all over the world. I was senior enough at that point that I attended regular planning meetings with the CEO and her team.

We were working on a new product, electronic access to textbooks. I'd built the entire system that takes the textbook XML we got from the content side, created indexes used by our search engine, and made it possible to efficiently display in the web application any text fragment from a full chapter down to a single sentence containing a search result.

The CEO called an emergency meeting: many of our library customers were government funded, and their funding required the library to receive a physical object in exchange for the licensing fee. They didn't want to have to store the physical textbooks and we didn't want the overhead of sending them textbooks. So the team starting talking about creating an entire new subdivision dedicated to the production, management, warehousing, and shipping of CD versions of the books, just so the customers could be given something physical.

I interjected: "If a CD is good enough, I can generate that using everything I've built already. I'm already converting the content to HTML for display in the app, so I can render the textbook out to a folder, one HTML page per chapter, with a table of contents and all of the images, and create an ISO image that the librarians can download using a link in the web application. Let them burn it themselves if they want a physical copy. They could also store the ISO locally so they still have that version if they let their license expire." That was a funding requirement as well.

So that's what we did. It took me a couple of days extra to implement that feature, and I saved the company a fortune compared to what they were considering doing.

I believe I got a $25 Starbucks card as a reward.
I would argue that having onerous tests are not a great proxy. Not only do they not necessarily measure how good a physician a student would be, but it also encourages undergraduates to intentionally enter easier/less rigorous coursework to focus more on the exam aspect (though GPA plays a large role as well). I'm sure a psych major may make a fine physician, but I don't want doctors to only be educated in a rather dubious field. If undergraduate education is only a stepping stone towards medicine, then just integrate medical education with undergraduate studies, rather than adding a ritualized acquisition of a bachelor's degree.
Twitter is not in chaos or collapsing because of Musk's actions

That is not a universally accepted assertion, by any stretch.

Again, you're now ignoring my initial response in this thread.

I doubt further engagement will be fruitful for either of us.
I bet Elon is not brave enough to buy Fox or Palantir.

(which is my way of trying to goad him into buying those companies and twittering it.)
