It’s interesting that those are the people you chose. Were you unaware of the background of the engineers?

Tim Cook: degree in industrial engineering and by all accounts an operational wizard for supply chain management. That’s why he was COO of Apple for long time focused on how to get components into its iPhone.

Satya Nadella: electrical engineer with a CS degree and then an MBA and at Microsoft started as an engineer.

Can’t speak to Jamie Dimon as banking and finance is outside my wheelhouse, but certainly neither Cook nor Nadella are examples of MBAs who don’t understand their product line. Arguably Apple’s is a much simpler product line to understand whereas Nadella has many more B2B and B2C product lines, but I don’t think the only thing Cook is thinking about are cost downs.
Agreed. Tailscale is absolutely fantastic and unbelievably easy to use while being significantly more secure than a jump host.

If you don't need the coax anymore, you really might just think about using the coax runs to pull some CAT6 through the walls. Same goes with the telephone wiring.
Clippy: Your current employer is a premium subscriber and has set parameters to reduce the reach and results of your job searches.
Explanation: IF you use SSH agent and have ssh options set up, you get a channel thru SSH where you could use your SSH agent on remote host.

Good side: You can then chain authenticate and say use same SSH agent to authorize sudo, hence getting sudo without password, just secured with your private key. Add hardware token to store said key and you're pretty secure.

Bad side: .... so can any other process with right permissions on the system, therefore compromised system can try to impersonate you.

One way to mitigate is is to make sure servers can't talk to eachother to via SSH, if user can access A and B but A can't access B and vice versa the escalation is limited.

Other way is to set agent to ask every time something wants to use the key which half-solves it (attacker would need to time the attack to occur right before "valid" use") but from what I remember it still doesn't show you what is trying to use your key (at least for gpg-agent's ssh agent functionality) so it's kinda not that useful of a feature.
Unless it’s already included in your job description - don’t do it.

Typically companies are paying for your expertise and your ability to execute on it. Documenting that expertise and giving it away for free through company-branded properties devalues your knowledge.

If a company wants you to create that then they should pay you, make it part of your job, or make a content creator at the company interview you and write it.

If you really want to create blog or social content about your abilities stick it on your personal website where you can own it and reference it in the future.

It’s usually obvious when friends and coworkers are pushing the company line on their personal social profiles. It usually comes across as disingenuous and lowers the value of the content even more.
> - France like to do it the “right” way, and that is, of course, the French way.

Having a national identity seems to be a double-edged sword. Brazil's soccer team, for example, is expected to win the Brazil way, dance, samba, which even for professionals may be a subconscious distraction from seeing a particular game situation clearly.

All this talk about why the U.S. is better at producing software could someday turn into the same burden.
Yes a single expensive chronic medical condition or child with high support needs disability will wipe that right out. $150k isn't poverty anywhere I don't think but it's not rare at all to end up professionally & personally tied to an expensive area with obligations that make it difficult for you to make it work.
Does OpenAI provide weights, data, or even code?
I was more thinking about me being tailgated at 2 ft distance and then overtaken on an extremely narrow mountain road near Arco. People were honking while doing this so people in the oncoming lane around the bend could start breaking (I was told by a local). Happened all the time in the cumulative month I spent there, never got used to it.

Lots of crosses remembering dead drivers on the side of the roads too.
Real estate owners ARE the megarich. And they earn this money by doing absolutely and contributing absolutely NOTHING of value to society.

They earn money by exploiting the scarcity of an essential need.
Fair enough, take my opinion with a grain of salt then.
Depending on how repeative the object keys are, you maybe able to save quite some spaces with compress-json [1].

Since the OP is using lz-string to do compression, I suppose the data should be repetitive.

Most of it's less enjoyable than several other things I could do with that time instead. Focused cardio, especially, is miserable enough that I'd rather do a bunch of other things I find unpleasant instead (IMO). The parts I find enjoyable enough that I'd choose to do them over other not-unpleasant things mostly require a bunch of other people (sports) and are hard to schedule, and then become another thing to schedule around for other activities or things that come up. Weight lifting's fun as far as such things go, but takes up space or requires trips to the gym.

The feeling after's nice, though. Would take that in a pill form, for sure.
facepalm yah like what kind of dystopia do we live in where people bring up the fact that workers in the US earn dirt for money and the response from other people is "yeah, but it must be enough because they aren't dead yet, so what is the problem?".

Microsoft recently signed a deal with the London Stock Exchange. They took a 4% stake in LSE (roughly $1.5B) and in exchange LSE signed a $2.8B minimum spend commit on Microsoft Cloud products (Azure, O365 primarily). If the OpenAI deal were structured similarly, could imply a $20B contract for Microsoft...

The link between many health issues and constant failed, and increasingly desperate attempts to lose weight is also extremely well established. Why do you dismiss the connection as if it were nothing in order to frame fatness as moral failure and disease as punishment?

> as nothing to do with diet and everything to do with the accumulation of superhuman levels of fat relative to the conditions in which humans evolved

This is a religious belief. Evolution doesn't visit judgement on human behavor, and any number of things that we do now that we didn't do in the Stone Age fail to have negative health consequences. Some might even be good for you, judging by the comparative lifespans of prehistoric humans and modern ones.

Look, if you care about people losing weight instead of wallowing in the cruelty and definitely something that looks like jealousy (e.g. that happy feeling some people get when they hear that people who have sex caught a venereal disease) - if you really care, then the health consequences of crash diets would concern you. The consequences of repeated failures to lose weight would concern you. None of this would be dismissed if your concern were health instead of moral superiority.

Sorry for the accusatory tone. To preempt, I'm 6', 175lb..

> Or how lumping the overweight and obese groups together is a great example of lying with statistics by gerrymandering the BMI quantiles

This is the fucking worst because it's conscious dishonesty. It's intentional deception.
> I'll tell the PM I need to rename this function if they want to know what I'm up to.

Why can't more engineers do this? in my experience people rarely ever question the product team and you can see this in the products you use all the time. PMs are not robots, they do things the way that seems best given the knowledge they have of the customer and the software, but engineers have more knowledge of the software and they need to communicate it when it's relevant instead of overcomplicating features by blindly shimmying in what product is asking for.
I'm going to assume you are male. If not, disregard.

Get your blood work done.

I know this may seem unrelated, as we often think of testosterone as related solely to muscle development and sex, but it's far, far more. It is very important for cognition, focus, and mood. Further, the estradiol produced from aromatization is highly neuroprotective.

Check your levels, just in case.
IMHO think its possible that you are disinterested in the task. I am at about the same age and have been increasingly finding it difficult to concentrate on tasks that don't help me learn much.
I interviewed there in late May, but they didn't deign to hire me. The team I was interviewing for was gutted in June. Wonder what it's like now.
Do you have proof of widespread tax evasion?
True. Also, in Japan, you cannot argue with your manager. There is a very strict hierarchy.

Another posible reason, very few people in Japan speak English (at least that was the case when I worked there in the 90s). That might have affected international penetration of their software. Perhaps this is why we don't see much software from Germany either.
Common nomenclature is a hard thing to rally against, and probably not worth the fight.
Absolutely. For example word provides templates for all sorts of documents and letters. Now they can add "please write the letter about X for me using this document template" feature. Guess how many letters of resignation Chat GPT will write in the future...
Alternatively maybe they just didn't think a 4x speedup would be possible? Or their internal culture discouraged people making improvements to code they didn't originally author? Or they thought you did impressive work?
Not saying this doesn't happen, obviously, but is it really going to be anything more than a rounding error?
I know it's a hype right now, but I didn't get good results with any AI, be it text or image generation.

It all looked impressive the first few days, but the novelty wore off quite quickly.
Probably things associated as well as adjacent to the mob and such.

> that's household income, which includes families with two earners

If you have a "very low" median income that includes families with two earners, then likely there are many single-earner households in that county that are doing far worse. Many will fall below the living wage threshold.

> Should we conclude that median households are falling behind?

Also, yes.
Anecdotes are what they are but I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in experiencing this phenomena. From what I understand humans have evolved to run incredibly long distances relatively efficiently because much of our densest caloric intake (historically) came as a result of simply chasing down our prey until it essentially collapsed from exhaustion.

Even though I live in modern times my practice of running what is a relatively long distance (5k) before eating seems to be an incredible "hack" compared to more typical, modern patterns of diet and exercise.
Towards the end of the article the author mentions not wanting to pursue this as a business as there are so many cheap programmable signs out there already.

As someone who would love to buy one of these and customize it for myself does anyone have experience or recommendations with any of these?
So what exactly are they buying here? It's hard for me to believe they're offering 10 billion for some neural network weights.
There are actually a lot of reasons why a train ticket won't work for many types of trips, but the biggest ones are that you need to carry more than one person which multiplies the price, the train doesn't go where you need to go, or that it's quite inconvenient in that it doesn't leave or arrive when you need to.
I feel this. I've found there are a number of possible causes. The most common one with the biggest impact is not getting enough quality sleep, as sleep quality often declines as you age and under stress (life is most stressful in your 30s and 40s). Restrict your caffeine intake and improve sleep hygiene, it makes a big difference, as poor sleep affects short and long-term memory, cognitive speed and mistakes.
> first meal of the day should be a filet of fatty fish like salmon with skin.

Kippers!

I don't know if they ever had them in the USA. They seem to be seriously out of fashion in the UK; in the seventies, supermarkets used to sell them in plastic sachets, but nowadays it seems the only way to get them is online (or maybe you live in a town with a real fishmongers).

I don't generally like fish, but I'd eat kippers if I could get them.
I highly recommend this book if you want to know more about John Von Neumann and his contribution to some of the most influencing topics of today's world including Game Theory, Quantum Physics, Electronic Computer, Hydrogen bombs etc.

This book is also great for history lovers since it also delves into the period of post World War II when the best of the brains started migrating to US from Europe and influence major national defense and security projects.

It's amazing to see how Von Neumann is able to move from one hard topic to another and make an impact.

How is fiber slow? Can you please provide some source? According to the techempower fortune branchmark, it's the 3rd (prefork) and 6th (normal) fastest go framework and even in the all-language list it's 24th and 34th.
These numbers are nonsense. No one who isn’t upper middle class is paying $12,000 a year for child care where I live per child. A parent would stop working to remove that cost, which would also potentially reduce housing and food costs by way of a dedicated house cook and maintenance person.

We have many family friends via the kids where the wife stays home largely to reduce costs and handle the house and kids.
Yeah, phones seem to have really good GPS receivers, even when you turn off all the network assists. Even with their tiny antennas they're at least comparable and sometimes better than my expensive uBlox GPS with a large active antenna.
I miss Douglas. I wonder what he would write about today's Internet.
As my wife puts it, there's no reason to look for conspiracy where things can be explained by plain human stupidity. It's not Putin, or Xi, who broke U.S. politics. It's the stupidity of people who vote, which goes from bad to worse while manipulation techniques - driven by arms of race of ever more brainwash-y advertisements, in a market of enormous volume, easy measurement, and vast leverage for the winner - get better and better by the day.
So long as we have this policy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_income_tax_credit

there are going to be headlines like "Walmart is subsidized". The EITC is one reason why the minimum wage wasn't raised for so long in the US.

The idea is that there are some workers (say teenagers working at the supermarket) who don't have to earn a "living wage" to support a family (if they did get a living wage then prices would go up and the living wage would be more and the cycle would repeat...) so rather than setting wages for them to be high enough to support a family we don't have, the government subsidizes people who are raising families on low incomes directly.
Hello, author here. Happy to answer any questions!

My apologies for the downtime, I wasn't expecting much traffic today since I submitted the post to HN yesterday but I've started scaling my server now!
> some hardware registers were being initialized in a procedure that was allocating working space for a numerical part of the program, because that's here he happened to open the log file for the first time, and he wanted the logging from the hardware registers to be the first thing in the log file, before he logged the fact that the memory had been allocated successfully.

To be fair (haha) I went from writing super organized code with loads of concise, well-documented files to writing code just as you describe when I started designing hardware and writing more complicated embedded firmwares. For whatever reason, hardware initialization boilerplate doesn't like to be spread out or organized. As soon as you try your code ends up breaking outright or becoming a vastly more complicated, gigantic mess.

It's because the hardware is soooo specific and we as software developers want to make interfaces that are as generic, high-level, and re-usable as possible. Example: You can't just write a function that takes two pin numbers and initializes I2C on them so you can talk with some module. You usually have to know--ahead of time--which two pins you're going to be passing to that function (so the types match; because each pin has its own special type haha) so the function can initialize the correct I2C bus on the chip (in the right way)... Which immediately makes such a function non-generic and kinda pointless since you'll never be able to re-use it in anything else for any other purpose. You quickly get into the habit of saying to yourself, "Why am I making this a separate function again?"

Also, the order of operations matters so much more in embedded stuff than it does in regular software. I could totally see the situation where you want to initialize logging immediately after initializing some hardware because you want the logs to reflect values that you only happen to have available during initialization... You don't need them after initialization so why waste precious memory keeping variables around just so you can log them later? Just setup the logger in the same code, write your variables, and be done with it!

Makes sense, right? Hah! Only in the world of embedded firmware!
> There is a large, technically illegal, economy to NYC which

How do you know that? Your next statement is that there's no good way to measure that income, how do you know how large that economy is?

It's either measurable, or immeasurable. You can't claim the know it's dimensions and also that you can't measure it's dimensions.

MIT's Living Wage calculator is mentioned in the article. It's a great project.

A while back, I toyed with a project which needed to propose/estimate hourly labor prices for a service marketplace. Not wanting to contribute further to gig-economy exploitation, I used the data as a per-hour payment floor.

Although freely readable on their site, structured data is only available upon request. I think having the data more readily available would allow socially conscious businesses to actually fix part of the inequality problems we have, instead of just knowing how bad it is.

My request went un-answered, but I put together JSON and CSV serializations anyway. If this would be of use to anyone else, contact info is in my bio.
The infrastructure and facilities provided by the state and city most likely allowed for the possibility of your job in the first place.

92% of your current income is likely far more than 100% of the income of a hypothetical job in a city without maintained roads and infrastructure.
Sorry, I'm not meaning to say that people aren't getting paid enough. My phrasing choice was poor.

I mean to say, it's very difficult to inform policy from data with big inaccuracies.

I'd say the grey economy is caused by myriad issues. But it's a space where people are able to meet their needs (on the employer and employee sides). Even though most of us on this forum wouldn't accept those conditions, hundreds of thousands of people do. It's a nuanced issue that requires a lot of thought and research, before jumping to conclusions about whether it's bad or not.

Anyways, IMO, if we want to understand whether peoples' lives are sustainable with their present wages in NYC, we have to measure their actual wages, which is inclusive of this grey economy, unlike the reported data source.
While I don't agree with the author AT ALL. I think products need two names: a marketing name and a code name. I was at a company that kept renaming the marketing name. And for some reason I couldn't get the programmers to stop spending weeks redoing packages: com.companyname.integrationhub to com.companyname.superconnector.

I kept trying to tell people that the marketing name is going to change all the time and that the package we put it under should be very different from the marketing name - on purpose, so that we don't need to repackage it every 2 weeks. Call it com.companyname.dataintegrator. The marketing name of the data integrator can change all day long and its package must remain dataintegrator.

If people are having to pay a large amount for rent, isn't that based largely on the balance of supply (not enough) and demand (too much) of housing? If that's the case, it's not at all obvious to me that the suppliers of housing units are to blame.

>If we ever have a debate about what I meant, then I am 100% correct and you are 100% incorrect.

You are the person others perceive you to be, at least as far as they're concerned. Perhaps that's something to keep in mind when you're attempting to share your thoughts.

And that's the last I'll say on the matter.

Have a nice day.
You can also beg for food on the street and technically survive, so there has to be some reasonable standard for what living wage. I'm pretty sure the poster you are replying to is not implying that those 5 people would be splitting a 5 bedroom apartment... Probably more like 5 people in a 2 bedroom.
Ostensibly it is ChatGPT, but this is likely the consumer grade version released to create the illusion that the AI will be a public good to garner public support for it. The unbounded and more useful engines are only accessible by insiders.
This bit of journalism amuses me. Headline reads (emphasis mine): "Electric car charging cable theft could be the next car crime wave".

And the evidence? "There has been a recent rise in reports of thefts of cables for EVs and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs)". No numbers. No link, just a statement.

The fact that there has been a "recent rise" in purchases of EVs and plug-in hybrids seems plausibly related, no? Not covered.

That's just awful, sorry. I mean, all journalism has perspective, everyone disagrees about some stuff, truth is hard, but that's just completely shameless.

I suppose. But even though I've definitely dealt with poorly-named microservices in my career, I can't really say as I've come across many that stuck out to me as being especially misleading, and not to the point where it was really an issue
