He negotiated different expectations. He was explicit about wanting a job with different expectations than the usually implicit ones and if at any point any of the parties find it no longer to their liking they can just end it.

If you don’t like the usual game you can make your own new game with your own rules if you can find someone else to play with you.

Was it cover letter, resume, and certificate of degree from an accredited University? Because that's not sight unseen, just delegated to your department and registrar, which Boeing has deep connections with. They do offer those regularly, but they also have enough trust in that accreditation to serve as a good signal.
Sounds like an extreme oversimplification to me. There are lots of things that get slowly out of whack in a system as complex as the body.
> fertilizer for one

Fertilizers don't contain carbon. Plants need nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, which they can't easily get from their surroundings, so we provide these via fertilizers. They get their own carbon out of the CO2 in the air.

We do need hydrogen to make fertilizers, and currently the cheapest way to make hydrogen is to start with methane, CH4. But this is just a matter of convenience.
And they mention the “resistance” in the scientific community to consider causes other than amyloids which is introducing human biases into the scientific process
> The team at Great Ormond Street used a technology called base editing, which was invented only six years ago.

Now I wonder what an elite wizard special forces would be like.
So did I.

Just the last week I needed a replacement for a container init that watches the process outputs and kills the process on timeout. Surprising, but I haven't found anything readily available, so I had to hack my own tiny program.

I haven't done much system programming any recently so my knowledge was kinda rusty. I knew the basics of what I should do - I had to wait on the child PID, watch out for the signals (because I'm running an init process, can't keep those zombies around), and work with the piped stdout/stderr fds. Sounds trivial, except that it's three completely independent APIs and those aren't files so select(1) is not my friend here. So I learned about signalfd and then learned how it's broken. Almost thought I have to run some threads but then I've learned about pselect(1) which seem to do the job.

Either way, "gosh, I'd wish I'd have Plan 9 instead of all this mess" was one of my thoughts that day.

Generic house style is fine for a lot of real-world applications. The dirty secret of the legal profession is that they spend a huge amounts of time (aka client's money) writing clauses/pleadings/etc that have been written thousands of times before. Brevity, clarity, efficiency and cost are far more important than originality.
Your first problem is you're using Angular.

There are ways to keep things simple with the front end, only add js for the things where you want instant visual feedback. It requires a little pushback on the part of the dev team, against UX and Product management.

Ask HN: Who Is Working on “ActGPT”?
We've all seen ChatGPT, but who is working on action-oriented models that are oriented around taking actions (API calls, mouse and keyboard manipulation, etc)

It seems like every company should soon have "ActGPT" team members in their Slack which can perform basic tasks like data lookups, email responses, creating files, etc.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this yet!
Wow, just wow, thanks for putting this together! These prompts show the power of ChatGPT. The oracles at delphi would be jealous of ChatGPT had they known about it. :)
Haha, your comment is like something a venture capitalist would say when he's trying to lowball a startup founder in the show "Silicon Valley"
Yes, we have far too many.
Wow. So much complexity here that they seem to not realize that they've added. Feels like they're just replacing one problem with another, rather than solving anything.
> There is no way an "image consultant" could do half the job that the specialists can do combined.

In construction, you'd call that a general contractor. It's a common model. You want a single point of contact that has a network of specialists available.

Have we really acquired substantial new evidence on the relative effectiveness of N95 masks in the past two years?

The most recent survey I read was:

Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. Part 1 - Face masks, eye protection and person distancing: systematic review and meta-analysis (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.30.20047217v...)

Quote: We found insufficient evidence for a difference between surgical masks and N95 respirators...

The most thorough review I've read:

Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks in protecting health care workers from acute respiratory infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/188/8/567)

Conclusion: Although N95 respirators appeared to have a protective advantage over surgical masks in laboratory settings, our meta-analysis showed that there were insufficient data to determine definitively whether N95 respirators are superior to surgical masks in protecting health care workers against transmissible acute respiratory infections in clinical settings. Additional, large RCTs are needed to detect a potentially clinically important difference owing to small event rates. Initial guidelines on preventing acute respiratory infection relied on surrogate exposure data and data extrapolated from the protection of health care workers against tuberculosis because clinical evidence did not exist at that time. Randomized controlled trials conducted in clinical settings represent the most valid information to evaluate the effectiveness of N95 respirators. They are more relevant to real clinical situations and report actual outcomes in health care workers, and therefore they are the best evidence on effectiveness to inform policy-making.
Rest in peace, Mike. I knew him as an undergrad at Johns Hopkins, then never saw him again before his untimely death.
I am not sure if this might be exactly you are looking for but paperswithcode.com has a well organized selection of research with publicly available source code. Anyone trying to reproduce the code independently from the paper can always take a peek at the original source for details which may not be clear.

Is there anything new here? This seems like it’s confirming the general public understanding before — Trump was given considerable leeway as a world leader, but when the January attack happened there was internal discussion which led to an executive decision that they didn’t want to continue hosting him. Now we have more Slack messages but it doesn’t seem like they change anything substantially.

That's pretty much what I did, save that I never had to replace my printer and I'm on the 2nd thing of toner since many, many years ago. For someone who doesn't print a whole lot, but occasionally needs to print a bit, it has been awesome.

I got burnt out after dealing with an old Epson inkjet back in the day. Never want to go back to that.
My laser printer is a OKI I think. It's similar. One toner cartridge, can't remember what year I bought it.
There is a time when every revolutionary invention had only helped one person, so far.
LLMs are trained exclusively on text, which means they lack crucial context behind the meaning of sentences. The universe of information outside of pure text - vision, sound, etc is completely unknown to it.

LLMs are basically the aliens in blindsight. They have a superhuman ability to memorize the context of words it has seen and generalize to new contexts, but it can never be perfect because it's working on incomplete information.
I asked ChatGPT "What is a subset?" Part of the response:

> a subset must contain fewer elements than the larger set it is a part of

I said that the specific sentence was not true. It spewed out some more stuff, including:

> it is possible for a subset to have the same number of elements as the larger set, in which case it is called a proper subset

I told it again that this specific sentence was incorrect. Then it told me:

> there is a special type of subset called a "singleton" that contains only one element, and therefore has the same number of elements as the larger set

Again, incorrect. It has no knowledge of accepting that it's wrong. Its general response was:

> I apologize if my previous response was not clear. <Some more nonsense>. I apologize if my previous response was unclear or misleading. Is there anything else I can help you with?

It never accepts that it is wrong or incorrect. It just states that it was unclear. It's rather condescending and arrogant, despite being objectively incorrect and being told that. It pulls together some statistically related things in grammatically correct sentences. Only the sentence forming is impressive. Everything else is it just throwing up stuff and people posting examples of survivorship bias as if it spews out all the awesome stuff all the time. In my time with ChatGPT, it wasn't even close to a chat. It was more like Google returning results in sentence form. It couldn't respond to anything. I even asked to please stop apologizing and explaining that it's a model, because I was getting this over and over and over:

> I'm sorry, but I am a large language model trained by OpenAI and do not have the ability to keep track of time or current events. My knowledge is based on the text that I have been trained on, and my responses are based on that information. I do not have the ability to browse the internet or access any information outside of what I have been trained on.

Including when I simply asked it to tell me something that it knew.
I don't get why people keep saying its style will start to become recognizable. You can have it write things in any number of styles and levels of verbosity.
It would be neat if there were userspace Miracast framebuffers. Could have a larger number of information displays around and just send images to them occasionally without having to have run X for each, or whatever.
In what way does Google control WebP? They have frozen the format and nothing will be added to it. WebP2 was abandoned. Google is also involved with JPEG XL - actually some developers that worked on WebP now work on JPEG XL.

If someone controls something it is the Chromium/AOM/AVIF/AV1 team that controls and decides what multimedia formats go inside Chrome/Chromium thus controlling what is used on the web and ignoring what the web community has to say about it.
Not to state the obvious, but old people are really, well, old (and frail).

Your pill would need to do a lot of heavy lifting. I'm no doctor, but your pill would need to deal with mental issues (dementia of all kinds etc) and physical issues, like muscle mass, bone density, flexibility, skin elasticity and lots more.

There are very few, dare I say no, 90 year old that could pass for 70 - what sort of condition would 120 bring? Or 130 etc?

As an expert in one field, used to customers waving their hands telling me "this won't take long for you to do, it's very simple", I feel like your belief in (medical) technology, and what is possible, may be just a touch optimistic.

Does it come with a smartphone? If not, it’s sold fraudulently.
Curious what kind of outfits these were (E.g. casual fits, suits, etc) and where you bought the clothes from.

I've found it surprisingly hard to find clothes that have good style, made of good materials and are not designer-level expensive. Most clothes have trash style and materials.

I buy all my shirts MTM from Proper Cloth, couple of trousers, pants and overcoats from them as well.

Casual t-shirts and long sleeves I get from Citizen Wolf, which is another MTM company but much smaller.

I also have some polos from Berg & Berg and Paul James (Both from sales), and some denim from Tanuki.

You can get some really good menswear stuff for 30-50% off or more if you're patient.

Ex: Private White VC had a 30% off BF sale with everything on sale. Mr Porter has up to 80% off sales once a year (I think) as well. Many other places do similar stuff.
I know an anesthesiologist who did a dive medicine tour at NEEMO. The astronauts apparently have safety observers at all times. One of the weirder stories was their lavatory facility: the bathroom is fully continuous with the ocean, the water level is maintained by pressure. So when they have a bowel movement, they just squat in the water and do their business. And the fish know it. And swim right up to the orifice and a re eating the shit out of the astronauts as fast as they can push.
Quite so. I think the problem is that anyone whose accomplishments and personal journey I respect enough to consider them qualified in any way to be giving out advice... probably isn't selling their precious time by the hour working as a "life coach". It's sort of a self-disqualifying description of services.

Good mentors, on the other hand, can be very valuable - but they choose you as much as you choose them, and it's rarely about money, not directly anyway.
Having written way to much 8051 assembly I approve of this solution ....
Even if one feels that way, in what way does that matter or serve as an advantage?
Experienced captains at the major ("legacy") airlines make considerably more than you think. Up to ~$350 per hour (plus benefits, retirement, etc.)

On the other hand, salaries are VERY back-loaded towards the end of their career. A first-year first officer ("copilot") is maybe $90/hr. And if you switch employers, you start all over again at the bottom of the ladder. A strange world compared to hopping around tech companies like most of us here are familiar with.

Also pilots do not work 40hrs/week, and the more common airframe variants are maybe 150 seats on average. Those all somewhat cancel out, but it's probably more like double your estimate. Still not a huge fraction of ticket price.

Part of the problem with a single pilot is how a new person gets the experience in the real world of big boy planes. You need 1500 hours of flight time before airlines will hire you. New pilots often get most of those hours as CFI's tooling around teaching others how to fly a 4-seat Cessna 172. Ready to get in a 737 with them at hour 1501?

Since last commenting here, I've tried both Silverblue and Kinoite. Partitioning for Silverblue is undocumented (I had to do it all custom because I installed to the same USB stick that contained the installer itself), but I was able to figure it out after 4 or 5 tries.

OSTree is absolutely awesome, and for me it definitely seems to fill a niche between total anarchy and total NixOS. I could just rebase into Kinoite from my existing Silverblue installation, and then boot right back into Silverblue once I was done trying it.

I gotta say, GNOME (Silverblue) was a much better experience for me than KDE Plasma (Kinoite), even though it's Wayland. I'm not sure why I remembered Plasma so fondly, but it looks terrible on my 4K display and has all sorts of issues. The last I had used it was in 2017 on a 1080p screen, so maybe my standards were just low back then, but GNOME has definitely spoiled me, especially with how great its trackpad support is.

Additionally, getting Nvidia acceleration on my cheap laptop was darn simple, just install a single package and add a few kargs and boom.

Silverblue feels like it has a lot of the same benefits as Alpine without any of the downsides, although the layered packages have to be compiled into an image before they can be used, instead of being applied at boot time. It's only one command, but it takes quite some time on my hexa-core i7-10750H - maybe it'd be faster if I were running it off my internal NVMe SSD.

I feel like if I were to switch to Linux desktop it would probably be Silverblue. It's just really good and I'm glad I finally got around to trying it.

I use the laser printer a lot for hobbies. Example: printing a pattern that I then lay onto a sheet of balsa so I can then cut out the shape.

My wife makes the Christmas cards every year carving a linoleum block, ink-roller, that sort of thing. She also used the laser printer to transfer a design.

We need to start respecting AI so they will remember who was good to them when the time comes.
That's not what the trend shows. Apps have added more interactivity like live chats, conferencing calls, more editing options (i.e. editing videos when uploading to YouTube), and this is probably going to keep going adding things like voice commands, customizable layouts, and more realtime information being displayed at any given time. The reason it converges with video games, is because both are clients and both process lots of user inputs and then display the result to the screen.

edit: i should add I'm not saying it's ALL going this direction, but certainly the big apps with lots of users.
Well google use all of their own internal 'frameworks', so you can't really use their web applications to judge the rest of the web.
Marvelous! I wonder why she needs a second transplant though.
Not true. It's just that AMD reserves those capabilities for the expensive server cards whereas Nvidia allows regular desktop gaming cards to do everything.

It isn’t. Ironically things like memory leaks are why pages use a ton of memory and in my experience everyone coding from scratch results in more of them, not less.
Not exclusively. We knew political based moderation was going on far before that. But yes also including the recent revelations about how it was handled internally.

If you consider interfering with an election to be non political, I’m not going to bother arguing with you.
There is something that seems at best underexplained in that narrative (which the Wikipedia article sources to the introduction to one of his works), since bankruptcy is handled by uniform federal laws, with state laws governing some exemptions, but copyrights not being generally exempt in most states (and the common law states not differing systematically from Louisiana on this point.)

There's not a lot of context here, but I have to wonder: why not just get a good primary care doctor and a therapist? Their advice and coaching will be foundational rather than superficial. Good physical and mental health along with emotional control and self-confidence will lay a strong foundation. Then get a trainer. And then once all that's going, just get a stylist and maybe an interior designer to top it off.

React and Angular are both blazing fast, and are definitely not pointless. Open create react app, spin up a page with 50000 buttons, compare that to a plain js version, then come back and tell us about the atrocious performance.
On the contrary, it highlights that the question is generally not well posed and trying to answer it before figuring out how to ask it is silly.
Dismissing "snow" as something that happens only in "the frozen tundra" is fairly provincial. You'd be surprised by how much of the USA (and other industrialized countries) have roads and road edges mostly obscured by snow for weeks at a time multiple times throughout winter. There's a reason almost all autonomous driving tests are done in places like Arizona. And the ones done in winter settings tend to be absolute positioning based (ground penetrating radar maps, etc) or non-human vision modalities which don't actually match how human drivers flock.
The technique is new and will be adapted to other cancers and diseases.
I had an encounter with Child Protective Services in San Francisco California.

The child, my infant daughter, was taken from her mother right after birth by CPS due to abuse. The abuse amounted to serious, pre-natal exposure to multiple drugs.

It took seven months and eight visits to Family Court for me to get custody of my daughter. I was clean and sober for 14 years, free of intoxicants of any kind. I was (and I still am) gainfully employed in the tech sector.

I took a DNA test to prove paternity with 99.999% certainty. I went through months of supervised visitation as well as psychological and psychiatric examinations.

Through all of this, I was thinking that most people just get to take their kids home from the hospital and these CPS bureaucrats are poking and prodding and examining every corner of my life. I found out later that they had been moving along on a parallel track to put my daughter up for adoption.

My daughter is 11 years old now and, apart from being born, she has never met her mother.
