You need people who got excellent grades in their undergrad program, who have somehow demonstrated that they like the field they’re going into academia for (as in clubs, extracurriculars, and whatnot), and who peers recommend as being likely to do novel research. The last one requires, gasp, talking to the applicant and seeing if they’re full of shit.
Firecracker is pretty great, good to see it can be used in a CI environment like this, definitely peaking my interest.

The “bring your own code” part is interesting, but what happens if there is a mistake in my code that causes one or more of my automations to fail to run? How do you ensure that user created code is in a functional state so that the purpose of the service is fully executed? If my code breaks and I’m dead, then some potentially very important (to me) stuff doesn’t happen?
Home Assistant, Plex, Freeswitch, backups with borg and rsync, various blockchain nodes, IPFS, Whisper ASR via API, Stable Diffusion with web interface, Gitlab, Appsmith, tons of storage via minio and probably a bunch of other things I’m forgetting.

I use close to 500 GB of RAM all in.
I could see working for an unstable egomaniac if it meant working on something big and meaningful like space travel or green energy or ending ICE cars. But to work on a glorified comment section? Hard pass.
The layoffs are so far confined mostly to "big tech" and other high-profile tech companies like Twitter and Stripe.
After the Meta layoff news my linkedin was absolutely flooded by recruiters from smaller-mid size companies and non-tech companies looking for devs. As others have pointed out the laid off twitter employees have a good resume and will have no trouble getting interviews.

Harder thing would be getting same or better pay maybe.
Best practices should differentiate between libraries and applications. Otherwise, like this guide you assume every piece of code is a library and slow down application development.

For example they recommend not using %w for errors- because library authors need to be careful about what information is exposed. However, as an application code developer, %w should be used by default- this avoids an accidental bug where annotating an error could cause an upstream error check to fail- which they allude to in the guide- but now their rule is getting complicated whereas "default to %w" would be safer and improve velocity in application code.
>That's incompetence

It may well be. I guess it's a question of semantics. To me his ability to afford a money-losing company is the salient factor, not his chaotic early tenure as 'Chief Twit'.

>> As bad as those things are, in-and-of themselves, they don't represent an existential crisis.
>Why not?

1. Because none of his actions are irreversible.

2. If he acted responsibility, he still would be running a company that is losing billions (plus the extra debt he saddled it with) in a terrible economic climate. I don’t think he can afford it.

You can create a base filesystem image with the code and tools checked out, then create a VM which uses that in a copy-on-write way
Idk your context but usually politicians communicate this way, they never give a straight answer to the question. They are taught to do so. It's the standard way to get attention and distract from the point / question, attacking opponents, asking more questions... Of course, there are plenty of other reasons for that.
or maybe structure the organization as two parts, an independent trust that acts as a custodian with set aside assets to cover the running costs over the expected lifetime of the covered population , and a technology company that builds markets and operates the service on behalf of the trust (or trusts)?

kind of like how a regulated brokerage, pension fund or insurance company operates. The difficult part is credibly ensuring that the companies will follow the rules when there is no legal big stick hanging over them. Maybe you could have the company buy and issue performance bonds to the policy holders , so if the company disappears, the policy holder or their family gets a lump sum? And have the (independent) company issuing the bonds have the contractual right to display the current pricing of the performance bonds, so if the bond company starts to suspects mismanagement, the price goes up, and that has an immediate effect on the company’s standing (and is therefore likely to deter bad behavior)
Depends on your definition of growth...
Yea this has been exactly my experience as well.

TS uses WG, so that might save so engineering time as well, and they really focus on creating usable features.
I was specifically citing the contrast between the two articles.

I know little of IG, but IG’s is what I’d expect an encyclopaedic article on this subject to look like, with (as I said) the inclusion of a paragraph about his views on sex and gender.

WP’s puts his views (ideologically slanted as anti-trans rather than as he sees them gender critical) front and centre, and thereby characterises him as a bad person. Many people believe he is, but it’s not WPs place to authoritatively decide that, or the “Which is more real, sex or gender?” debate, or brand dissenters as immoral wrong-thinkers, or format articles to assert that stance. Ideally, WP should be far more factual and neutral.

NB: This isn’t meant to be about the Trans issue, I used that subject as an illustration of the kind of thing I personally see as ideological bias in WP.

I think you're committing the same mistake he's complaining about. The first question is a question (that needs to be answered, since it was asked). The second question is a follow-up question, that is clearly structured to be some sort of dependency on the first question (hence, more reasons to answer the first question).
Just answering the second question is still ignoring parts of OP's communication.
This is probably a product of my current mindset, but I find the tagline "Get things done from the afterlife" hilariously grim - not only should I be obsessed with "getting things done" while I'm alive, but now I need to be productive after I die!

edit: I should add that I actually like this idea, and I'll check it out further.

The Enigma of John Donne
A mentor of mine once told me to never be afraid to say these powerful words: _"I don't get it."_ I've said that in countless meetings and technical discussions, and I've found 2 typical outcomes: The person talking doesn't get it, either; they're just hand-waving. Or, others in the room/discussion also don't get it but were afraid to ask (they often thank me later for speaking up).

Go for it. It's rare to see such a high alpha opportunity. It's like getting in an early stage startup but in this case they already have network effects.
I will just address people communicating verbally.

The idea that people know what they want, and are able to communicate it without thinking and planning is not realistic.

People need to take a second and think, and even then, it's hard and they probably don't know what they actually want to say.
You took the words out of my mouth. People with accounting or business degrees who complained about having to take Greek Thought or whatever other minimal liberal arts courses often can't communicate their way out of a wet paper bag.

It's not a question of intellect (though there are some with more innate aptitude than others), it's a question of training.
Furthermore, a pareto distribution likely applies. 80% of the talent is concentrated in 20% of the population, regardless its size.

Yea, I have friends who work at SpaceX and seems to be doing just fine. The zeitgeist on HN is basically if you ever do anything challenging, don't even think about it, it is bad for your mental health.

That was never a significant concern with regard to the push for lower consumption of meat anyway. If anything the entirety of your diet combined with your physical activity matters, not whether you choose to eat meat at all.

Water consumption, land use, and biodiversity loss are way more important than even our own health care. On top of that, market pressure will always enable abusive treatment and processing of the animal, which is what large-scale animal husbandry inherently is anyway, while climate change and the size of the global population perpetually accelerate the rise of the costs of and competition for our resources.

The crux of their problem with "Philip Cross" is not the amount of his edits (he could be a disabled person without other hobbies after all), but that he fact-checks pro-authoritarian propaganda (and that's why this was reported by "Russian state-owned outlets Sputnik and RT" - quote from BBC story).
I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out the best way to follow my interests on Mastodon. I had to figure out which instance to use, and the most popular ones cannot keep up with the traffic surge right now. And then I don't know how much the instance matters, can I follow a hashtag across all instances? It seems yes, but I spent time figuring this out.

How much time will the average twitter user invest into this? How much will it cost these hobbyists to run Ruby on Rails apps that can service hundreds of millions of users? I'm just...skeptical it can take off. Whereas something VC funded that can monetize and its just one thing you point people to, and they can sign up in 30 seconds and it handles all the traffic with no hiccups or slow-downs. That could work.

I agree with the parent. When there is confusion like this, switch to open ended:

"OK, we both agree there appears to be a problem with the transmission. How do you propose we investigate?"

From the dialog it appears you were two steps ahead of the person and what he really needed was time to think it through. Asking the open ended question gives him space to think.
>The sales numbers for these devices were very good for at least a couple of years

Sales number were good at first because all consumers were drawn to the massively small price tags of these machines along with the small form factor/increased portability. They were like 50% cheaper than a regular laptop and could fit in your purse/cargo pants. Who wouldn't want that?! Especially in developing countries like Eastern Europe where a regular laptop would cost several months(plural!) wages.

> Sales numbers did fall off precipitously eventually

Yes, because after purchasing them, consumers wised up and realized the low price tags came with some huge compromises the Average Joe did not expect (Atom CPU was too slow for Windows which let's face it was by far the most used OS back then, low-res display, minuscule eMMC storage that filled up far too quickly, the Linux ones didn't ship with a sane mainstream distro like Ubuntu or Mint but with some weird bare-bones custom one that had no mainstream apps available, playing PC games was an absolute no-go, etc.) so the Netbook market crashed, as unless you absolutely needed the small form factor and willing to put up with these compromises, you were much better off buying a second hand used regular laptop at the price of a new Netbook.

In a way, these slow, small-storage, weird-Linux, Atom Netbooks kinda poisoned the well for the rest of the market segment, even for the "good Netbooks" whcih were more capable, until Apple came with the Air and the PC market brought the Ultrabooks.

The only place I saw Netbooks flourish was, no joke, the taxi drivers in my Eastern European country, which, due to their diminutive size, would attach them to the central console of their ancient cars as some DIY infotainment system, and use them to watch movies and play games while waiting for customers (not gonna lie, a 2010 Netbook with keyboard bolted to the central console is still a better infotainment system than the touchscreen ones shipping in most modern cars today). I even saw one taxi driver playing DOTA on a Netbook in his car (not while driving, although for Eastern Europe that wouldn't be
out of the picture).
> The refill comes from tumut 2. And again, it's a 2GW storage that provides diurnal, five day, and seasonal. Do try to comprehend basic concepts like 'water that goes through a dam goes to the lower reservoir'

And for the fourth time, this water is from precipitation. You can't supply electricity to it and pump more water. It's not storage in the sense that you can supply it with a GWh of electricity and later tap the energy you put into it. You're literally saying every single dam is a "pumped storage" facility even if there's no way to pump water into the upper reservoir. Do try to comprehend the difference between pumped storage and a dam.

> This doesn't matter. It's called a battery and you can't typically use nameplate capacity. It's exactly the thing you keep acting outraged about. It's also probably the thing most associated with the word battery other than single use cells.

If you're not running them at full depth of discharge then you're cutting down your usable storage capacity. If you're running 1 GWh of batteries but you're only going to 50% depth of discharge to extend longevity then you've really only provisioned 500 MWh of storage.
I lately wonder about Japanese or Italian cuisine. Those nations are around the top for longevity of life - at least some specific parts of the population. If the diet has a significant part in this I have a silly theory: they make their food relatively simple and quick, but very tasty. I would even say that Japanese cuisine is for making vegetables delicious for example.

I do recognize I probably don't know nearly enough.
I don't think that makes it less shameful.
If I look at Perl, I'd say about 25 years. People were equally excited about it at the time. It took a few decades for everyone to agree it's a net negative to use it in a project, even though it's still very good at what it does.
[1] is the first paper Google spewed out, though I think there is newer work. I'm on mobile though, so can't check. The basic idea is to figured out how many stars that may support space faring civilizations have formed, and how many will form in the future. Add in some delay for planets and life to form, and account for the death of the star, and you can estimate how many such species should spawn over time, and thus tell if we are early or late to the party (assuming all assumptions are somewhat right)

Did Musk describe 'Breakthrough Twitter 2.0' in a separate message that hasn't been made public?

"Stay at Twitter because we're moving to 80 hour work weeks and cancelling Christmas" can't be the argument by itself, right?

It's got to be something like "Stay at Twitter because we're building exciting new project X, but we'll need 80 hour work weeks to pull this off..."
I think Musk played people who quit this week, he used some trigger words in his email to sus out people who are not committed to the company. And the heard mentality kicked in and more people quit.
I don't know if price gouging is the right phrase in this context. Products with processed stuff, including sugar & cheese, can be cheaper because it tends to be subsidized. I don't think supermarkets are gouging any more on veggies than anything else.

The government really could focus on subsidizing healthier food options and stop subsidizing taco bell's crunch wrap things, pizza hut's stuffed crust pizza or various colas.
They previously had a team whose sole job was to respond to requests like this. If they no longer exist and the company relies solely on Musk being interested enough to respond, media outlets will never get a response before the article runs. It's bad for Twitter, bad for the article, bad for the readers. Even if it's just PR speak, it's still a response that can be analyzed by the other two parties in the story (the author and the reader).

> Let me clarify some points...

Here are some more points that I've read about (not sure if true), if can you clarify them:

1. The involvement of cabinet ministers of Modi's government.

2. The non-involvement of the State Police which were under Modi's control.

3. Modi's refusal to deploy the Armed Forces (which fall under the command of the Central Government).

4. Rioters having access to State Government census records and the State Government-controlled supplies like LPG cylinders.

5. Since murdered BJP Leader Haren Pandya's confession of Modi being complicit.

And a laundry list of other things that Supreme Court of India probably looked at and dismissed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_riots#Allegations...
Half this comment section is people going "Nonono elon couldn't be dumb, there must be some angle to this". It's the american way to call a rich person smart and a smart person a threat.
"Processed Foods" is another vague, exaggerated boogeyman though.

For one thing I don't think most people would even agree on what foods count as processed and are bad. Some people are talking about everything except fresh vegetables, some people are talking about specifically industrially-processed food but would say the exact same recipe followed at home (minus a couple of preservatives) is perfectly fine, some people are specifically against fast food but might think canned foods are fine.

Large blood sugar spikes after a meal are what is bad for you, but this a more nuanced equation of things like glycemic load of the food (which is as much a factor of quantity eaten as it is glycemic index), genetics, and level of exercise. It's not as simple as just saying all processed food is always bad, for instance after a hard workout simple carbohydrates are not just ok but actively good for you, and ideally most people should be doing a hard workout multiple times per week. Some other components of processed food like excessive salt can be bad, as is the fact that they often push out more micronutrient-rich foods from your diet.

But it kind of strikes me as the abstinence-only approach to dietary advice. People love the taste of processed foods, I think we'd do better to encourage eating responsibly overall than insisting on avoiding processed foods altogether. And it's possible to be very healthy while eating a significant amount of processed foods.
I called for progress, as a negotiated and necessary step. constructive insights, anyone? Misaligned incentives seems to only scratch the surface of the problem space, given the quality and depth of the responses here.
So what I'm hearing is we could've used hella and given it a greek letter
A tip about formatting: if you indent by 4 spaces, you get monospaced text that doesn't swallow single line breaks.

Thus:

l1 = nil
l2 = cons 1 l1

length nil = 0
length (cons x xs) = 1 + length xs

And:

blink : Bool -> Stream Nat

head : Stream A -> A
head (blink True) = 0
head (blink False) = 1

tail : Stream A -> Stream A
tail (blink True) = blink False
tail (blink False) = blink True
Malarky, and I say this as someone that works in a fintech startup. This excuse that somehow because you're a startup you don't have to follow the most basic rules of accounting is nonsense, especially when you're handling billions in assets.

When I use the term "hard-core engineering", I'm not referring to how "hard" people work. I'm referring to how advanced the required engineering is to accomplish a goal.
Synapse (Matrix), Mastodon (Fediverse), WireGuard, and static websites.
Syncthing kinda counts, being primarily P2P, I suppose!

I'm generally focused on self-hosting communicating things, slowly branching out into hosting my own media services. Right now it's mostly just Syncthing'ing around my FLACs, but I'd like to set up streaming for my low-storage-space devices.
From a technical standpoint outsider it would seem similar to payment processing/gateways.
Any chance you can expand on why it is harder? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to know more.
I know of at least one company local to me who is actively trying to recruit ex-twitter staff. They'll be fine. We'll all be alright - we're in for a bit of a bumpy patch, but the industry over-hired, we let too many people hang out on the roof, and we need to redistribute. This is a perfect example of why having many employers of different industries and sizes is better for the ecosystem than having 10 mega employers.
I worked with an Estate Attorney on a similar product that was geared towards shutting down other online services. We started down the path of trying to figure out which services would let loved ones assume ownership vs which would only let you deactivate the account and there were a lot of headaches along the way.

The service eventually launched, but it never got much transaction. I believe the Attorney tried to get investors at one point to fund marketing and advertising and everyone felt like it was a good idea, but was worried about adoption. The funding never came and the service was shuttered.

I still think it's a good idea if executed properly. Will have to give this a look.
