Also the internal product is, in effect, a compulsory purchase by teams A and B, therein lacking the selection pressure that normally drives product development.

What other approaches to shared-something cross functional product teams are there?
In Magento (but can be applied to any type of product really), I added XSS to all $_POST requests in code and managed to find an XSS. Even though it was self-XSS and I didn’t receive a bug bounty, it was a really simple way of finding it. I’m sure there are browser extensions that do the same but still. Same could be applied with SQL injections.

It’s in everyone’s best interest except for the industry as a whole. It’s why a “distinguished fellow” has to do the same inane leetcode grind as a fresh grad or someone with no degree who really likes computers.
I don't have a particularly bad form of ADHD, thankfully, but I can still feel the struggles I'm reading in this thread to my core.

My biggest killer is meetings. Especially the boring, pointless kinds that have nothing to do with my actual work (like the one I'm sitting in right now where they collected everyone in the product team to ~look forward to 2023 and what your role in all that is!~ (please shoot me)) that drag on for what feels like eternity, slowly sucking away any and all excitement about the day out of my life.

It transports me back to primary school, where you were stuck in a room with no escape for a large chunk of your day. If I had absolute power, the one thing I'd do for those like me with ADHD would be to make meetings over 10 minutes illegal and punishable by a Ludovico Technique style torture method, let's see how they like it!
This isn't my most elegant hack, but it is the one I'm most proud of given both the stakes involved and the amount of learning I had to due under pressure.

This is the story of how early in my career (~15 years ago) I saved the jobs of 100+ employees along with $20M+ of accounted revenue...

I had built an application that had become the core of a large and prestigious business (can't describe the software or business sector due to NDA). One night I get an alert that one of the drives in the server hosting the application was failing and needed to be replaced -- not a big deal since the system was running RAID-5 so it it could take a hit. So I contact the IT company providing service for the business and they sent out a tech...

.. who was a little green...

When they reconnected the drives to the motherboard they were out of order and the RAID controller went to work using the new (zero'd out drive) as part of the main array. The tech freaked out when the system wouldn't mount and then proceeded to swap the cables around several times while rebooting!!

This effectively "encrypted" the drives!

I get a call much later that night from a crying tech informing me that the machine is trashed and that the backups had failed!!

I immediately drive to the site and collect the hard drives to bring back to my home office, first thing in the morning I purchase several large drives to duplicate on to and return the original drives to the business so they can send them out to a pro data recovery company.

Upon examining the drives I learn that there are three different partition schemes across the four drives which are using RAID-5 with LVM, but with unknown RAID parameters...

So I start hitting the books, and by that I mean reading the source code for ext3, LVM, and MDADM -- at the time the relevant block level device driver code for MDADM was extremely terse, almost un-commented, and in German, which I do not speak O_O

I took several 16-20 hour days of pouring through sector by sector hex dumps of the drives, but I was eventually able to line up and decode the LVM header blocks and work backwards to find the ext3 superblocks and the start of the filesystem. I then wrote my own RAID-5 virtual loopback device driver that knew about the permutations in the data blocks caused by the drive shuffling and was able to extract a complete filesystem. After hand patching the superblocks I was able to mount it and recoverd all of the mission critical data!

Prior to this I only had an abstract sysadmin-level knowledge of Linux filesystems :)

Also, the pro data recovery firm wasn't able to recovery anything and tried to lie saying that the drives were physically damaged! The CEO and CFO had me sit in on the phone call and jump in to correct them, the tech from the recovery company was speechless and then accused us of trying to set them up! We (the C-levels and myself) had a good laugh and then went out to have a couple drinks ;)
That's massive stretch. Why would anyone do that? Twitch player isn't that great if you want to seek around the video
Binance temporarily suspends USDC withdrawals
In the early 2000s, the web hosting industry was still evolving quite a bit. We had recently started offering PHP and MySQL as an alternative to using Perl CGI scripts.

Then we notice the server is getting terribly slow. They were under a high load and finally my boss at the time figured out why: The disks were being hammered by database reads and writes.

I was the junior most among the three of us who managed servers, and I recall standing In a circle one afternoon discussing the problem and possible solutions.

We considered things like building dedicated database servers, And I really don't recall what else. But while I was thinking about the problem, any delightfully simple answer came to mind.

I presented my idea and it was adopted right away. Better than that, it solved the problem.

The hack? Install another hard drive and put /var/lib/MySQL on it.

These days that would be a terrible solution. But back then we were running things like Celeron 300s in giant 4U cases and had plenty of power and space overhead to make room for another disk
Wind powered craft are generally powered by deflecting the wind at an angle, rather than using the wind behind them to travel forwards. It's the same reason that sailboats can move into the wind.

It's very hard for me to explain without diagrams, this wikipedia article explains it pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_sailing
But then no one would be able to develop any governmental expertise right?
Difficult to say. Some people left but others have replaced them, maybe 10fold. I think it really pushed some who had old accounts or no accounts at all to start using it.

The Musk hype factor is real.

The badly labeled @fiat account ... ? I am still in awe over that 11yo's soda stand spreadsheet.
Yes. If they designed something they knew was unsafe, or they were negligent in their design, or they misrepresented their competency I would expect them to be accountable for their actions as a professional electrical engineer.
True, but you could also argue that limiting the condition (b) rather than (a) is also a way to address the power imbalance. Things like social programs, basic income, unions and cooperatives try to address (b) instead of (a).
Ok, that's for US. What are the numbers for California? That's my reference since I'm here.
Instagram Account Was Disabled
my Instagram account was disabled by mistake. I didn't post anything that violates the community guidelines. Please review my posts and unsuspend my account.
Gmail is already a well-known spammer. Loads of spam come from Google, I see it everyday, by far the biggest source of spam I see. Unfortunately, they're also so big, with so many legitimate users, that you can't block them wholesale if you're expecting to deal with the public, many of whom have a gmail address.
Building in public is mostly screenshots and meaningless info. I say mostly, as sometimes I see some value, like suggesting products for day to day usage.

It can motivate some people to see others progress and succeed in entrepreneurship or side projects. Still, the reality is, running a startup is far more complicated than being squished in tweets and screenshots.
I am from India (and never been to US). Even in India, people recognise MIT as the best institute all over the world. It does carry very high brand value. Even for me, if someone has done STEM studies in MIT or Stanford, I'd value them very highly.
I was cleaning up some stuff on an old but still pretty important prod server and not paying enough attention on that day.
Turns out in retrospect that accidentally deleting ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the main user account was not a good idea.

As the panic was starting to sink in, I managed to find out that an unprivileged user account was still available for SSH login.
Once I got a hold of it, I then tried my hand at running several privilege escalation exploits... until one of them worked (what a relief) and I could finally restore proper SSH access on the main user account.

It was both a proud and a pretty embarrassing moment.

Whether it is softcore porn or "playing video games", I don't doubt it is work. It might not be as hard as writing a database, but neither is as hard as digging a trench on a construction site.

They are being paid to be entertainers. A majority of people streaming don't get any noticable viewership even though they "play video games" every day. The people getting paid are entertaining (to some segment of the population), and put on a show while they play video games or sit in a hot tub. Video games and the hot tub are just the backdrop to the entertainment.

If feel like a quick experiment, I suggest one try watching a 2 viewer stream for 30 minutes, followed by a top stream for 30 minutes. I would wager that time will move quite slowly waiting for 30. minutes while watching the 2 viewer streamer playing the same video game as the top streamer. And while you might not totally enjoy streaming in general, I would guess that watching the top streamer will be a lot easier to endure a 30 minute watch.

Should entertainers, actors, and athletes be paid so much? That is a whole other topic, but I see no reason to separate out streamers from any of these other types of positions that are paid to entertain us.

You might not find the star athlete of some sports team interesting or worth watching, but millions of other people in your area do find it worth their time and money. Same with streamers.

I have broken my phone multiple times, but I always stick to SMS 2FA because as long as I keep paying I will get a new SIM card in 2-3 days, and not be locked out, because of a lost or broken device.
I would suggest that a CEO should know where any magic beans are coming from beyond a reasonable doubt. Not knowing where those magic beans are coming from is its own kind of special trouble, from a legal liability perspective.
People that just "play a video game" don't get an audience.

It's a mix of being entertaining personality and providing a show to the viewer.

That's kinda like saying "how's TV host a job, the guy just sits on the chair and talks".
This is not Instagram buddy lol
Yeah, looks like that one is actually designed to do what it does, not just "somehow implemented". The BTRFS bugs fixed in every kernel release for how many years now? are horrific and show that BTRFS is crawling with corner cases.
> It's really telling that many human beings think that the primary desire of a hypothetical AI would be to enslave humans. It's obviously a projection of the fantasies of what the people making the predictions would do if they were omnipotent.

I think it's more telling that your (apparent) disagreement with what other people believe, makes you cast them in an incredibly negative light. "Oh, they think AIs are dangerous? That must be because they have secret fantasies of control, not that they might be right and I might be wrong."

If you're going to cast aspersions, you might want to better understand the arguments that people worries about AI safety are making. It's not about enslaving humans, and I really don't think that I worry about AI safety because I secretly want to control humanity.
You've chosen to miss the point, and you're also comparing sand to ice.

win98lite, was windows install modification for win98 to remove some stuff so you could play computer games more while you weren't defragging your hard drive.

Wakey wakey.
The analogy with sexuality and gender bothered me. It is a sore point and fragile. The solution for them is (foremost) equality, the solution for people with disabilities is egality.

Yes, society changed to help people as much as possible. With changes your living-mate can interact with society as well as possible. Sure, the missing thumbs are disabling, but somebody insisting on hand-written instead of typed notes is an asshole.
At some point, people who ignore a disability or disorder because of general ignorance or worse are the problem.
> Very disappointed by the discourse in this HN thread. The same old quips over and over.

To be fair, that's not entirely the fault of HN. It's hard to get excited about fusion research when I almost always feel mislead, because it is almost never explicitly stated that we are talking about Q-plasma here. I don't expect much from science journalism, but I feel that the fusion scientists have no problem silently playing along this misconception, which they are perfectly aware of.
This is true. Founding a startup probably makes one more employable for more jobs than training for tennis every day.
Good premise, then they threw it all away with those examples.

"Makes scheduling collaborative instead of a nuisance" is not a strong opinion, it's a run-of-the-mill tag line.

My enjoyment of this article peaked early.
Being able to interact in real-time is half the attraction, so pre-recorded streams don't get nearly as many viewers.
I imagine when authorities found about it, they must have laughed at this for days.
Since when does Asmon have 4000 viewers? Last I checked he had 75k.
You’re forgetting Chief Solution Architect… at an advertising agency.. wtf?
To be fair to the commenter, the company implementing the system is to blame. I can understand why Google (or other businesses) would prioritize customers concerned about security over the homeless. One is a more profitable customer.

Does that make it right? No. Does that mean people won’t get hurt? No. Plenty of ink on HN has been spilt about how companies act according to a profit motive, and often not in societies best interest. Recognizing this doesn’t make you complicit.
> support people

There are no "support people". Let's stop trying to humanise a giant,
hostile algorithm.
Perhaps your first several rotation could be a provisional/training rotation where you receive on the job training.

Another thing to consider is that, at least in my country, police have a huge mandate. If we narrow the scope of the mission, we can reduce the amount of training necessary.
> The number of people posting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. is well beyond their ability to perfectly QA the content they host.

Is it? Reddit does it, by splitting up the community into smaller sections that each have moderators. And in my experience it leads to much better results than whatever Twitter and YouTube are doing.

Of course a community is difficult to moderate if you just throw millions of users on one pile and train an AI to hope for the best.
Engineers who've only worked in smaller companies tend to be harder to work with, on a social inter-colleague level.

I definitely skew that way - anything in particular I might want to watch out for, that would play out as "hard to work with" in a big company setting?
One big reason people use multiple regions or clouds: higher resource availability.

Allocating scarce resources can be very hard on the cloud. These are things like high-end GPUs (both on-demand and spot; the latter being much harder to get) and also beefy CPU-based instances. We've seen 10s of hours of waiting times or longer.

The natural solution is to have the flexibility to allocate resources in multiple regions (and ultimately, clouds) to increase the total pool size.

Because whether it is easy is entirely dependent on who you are and what perspective you look at it from.

If you're a nobody with average skills, see you in a few years with sub 10 viewers, maybe. A nobody with some particular skills, still going to take a while. Exploiting a niche as a particularly charismatic nobody, you'll break through maybe in a few months. Happen to strike rich with a few clips, there is your momentum to make it happen. The vast, vast majority falls in the first category.

Oh, you're already a somebody (500+)? Yeah just play the meta, sellout a few times a year and do what you want mostly. At that point you can do the bare minimum and make it work, as long as you don't self-destruct entirely. Or actually try and make it even more difficult for newer streamers while working to 7 figures. Bonus points, all the positivity will reinforce you to do special things. Almost any problem has a solution in the form of hiring a third party, drowning it out or ignoring it at this point.

Looking at the top makes it seem like the easiest job ever, and to a degree, that is true. Looking at it from the bottom, even retail seems better.
Would you mind sharing what kind of engineering your friends do where they don't do any testing? I would like to avoid these products/roads/buildings/etc. Thanks.
That might help for a certain subset of people in this scenario, but there are also people with subtle mental conditions that, while capable of living productive lives, are also unable to deal with MFA. There are also the elderly and non tech-literate.
As someone who has done "ethics training" as part of an engineering degree, I don't believe for a second that it has a significant impact on the choices most engineers would make in their jobs.

Sure it helps to have established bodies to hold engineers accountable and report violations to, but I certainly don't think the ethics training is a significant factor. There's no shortage of degreed engineers signing off on things far more ethically questionable than most of what big tech is doing.

This also sounds pretty optimistic as a generalisation:

I disagree.

Building in public is public roadmap, being active in forums/chats as a rep of your product, putting out questions on debated topics, and of course, screenshots.

The meaningless info you're referring to are IMO copycats of Levels who thinks build in public is just screenshots of MRR.
Am I being too paranoid: scheduling testimony inside US jurisdiction seems like an awfully convenient backup plan if Bahamian authorities had not been willing to extradite?
The linked background story [1] in the article has a bit more detail on that, worth checking out. Choice quote:

It might sound paradoxical that a vehicle entirely powered by the wind can travel significantly faster than it.

But, as Dr Karl explained, the principle has been exploited by sailors for centuries.

It involves something called "apparent wind" — and relies on the fact that travelling at an angle to the wind can generate more speed.

For a different take I would recommend the propeller-based vehicles [2] that go faster than the wind without using sailing techniques.

That's an exceptionally good way of putting it. I might apply that maths (and show my workings) next time I get pushback on something.
Unfortunately 100% renewable advocates just throw LCOE numbers around even though LCOE doesn't account for storage at all.

Levelized Full System Costs of Electricity (LFSCOE) does include storage and suddenly nuclear fission gets a lot more competitive:

Ask HN: What Happened to ReasonML?
ReasonML looked to be a promising frontend language, and it had Facebook behind it.

However, not much is heard about it, particularly here on HN.

Is anyone using it? Is Facebook really using it, or was it just one group on one project?
Why do 3/4 come after 2? That would seem to make 2 unnecessarily hard.

As an aside, isn't it a little weird for a legal document such as this to use his initials over something more formal like "Mr Bankman-Fried"?
What is his actual performance issue? Is it the kind of thing that can be fixed by stopping trying to do things yourself?

I used to be in the habit of trying to do things manually, trying to remember things without google assistant, navigating without GPS, not buying "Unnecessary" things like smarthome devices.

My first line of fixing mistakes was... nothing. I just assumed I would get better at things I do every day over time and no longer make the mistakes. Until I realized I would make a new type of mistake for the first time, then make it again the next day.

It almost seems like when I practice things the wrong action gets reinforced just as much as the correct action and I sometimes actively get worse with practice unless I'm carefully watching every step so there are no errors.

Now the fridge has a sensor so I don't leave it open, and I assume that the future doesn't exist, only computers are capable of remembering something at a future date.

I doubt I'll ever be able to do the stuff that really matters, the things that can't be done with plans and gadgets, like driving or useful levels of math, but onsite maintenance engineering is not a problem for me.

Then again, I'm pretty sure I have dyspraxia, not ADHD, I don't get distracted easily or have multiple thoughts running at once or anything like that.
