The company wouldn't just say "we don't have this data." The company would point to the systems in place that ensure that protected class is never revealed to interviewers or hiring managers. "Ms. Plaintiff, how could the interviewers have been biased against or discriminated against you on the basis of your gender, if they did not know and could not know your gender when setting your compensation figures?" Unless the plaintiff has evidence that someone leaked her gender to the interviewers, it's incredibly hard to even approach a preponderance of evidence that there was gender discrimination. In order to perpetrate discrimination, you must have some means of discriminating between applicants.

If someone complains about an orchestra that doesn't have the racial or gender makeup they want, but the orchestra points out they have blind auditions and robust systems to ensure that the identities of musicians aren't leaked to evaluators then it's tough to provide a preponderance of evidence of discrimination.

Ah, I see we're buying into Elon's logic, here.

Big companies like Facebook aren't funding their operations with debt. They're absolutely flush with cash. Your claim that the fed raising rates is causing layoffs in these large, profitable companies does not hold water.

Does that help to explain a retreat in VC- and other debt-funded entities? Sure. But the headline layoffs we've seen are not in those types of companies.

Now, I do agree that growth projections were revised down, but the explanation for that is much simpler: A lot of companies assumed COVID was going to create a lasting impact on the world that would result in endless growth and revenues for companies like Peloton, Zoom, etc.

Well, that didn't happen, and they are now forced to cut back on staff after over-hiring due to those bad projections.

This pattern is visible across the industry. It's not in the least bit mysterious.

As an anecdote to how developers treat "legacy" code:

As a fresh developer out of college I had the mindset that frameworks were something you use and they always work and all you need is the documentation. My first job had a lot of "core" code written by another team in another office we would use with exactly 0 documentation. I was trying to get our UI to do something specific but couldn't figure out how to do it by just looking at the functions available, so I ask my manager and he immediately knows what to do, makes 2 small changes (in my defense it was pretty hacky how it was set up imo) and I get what I want.

I remember being moderately pissed because I was already feeling the heat of asking my manager too many simple questions and I just apparently asked another one, so I say something along the lines of "How the hell would I ever have known how to do that, there are no docs available to say that is possible and that is not obvious at all."

He just looks at me and says "You read the core code" and I remember having my mind blown at missing something so obvious for so long. After that I voraciously read almost all "framework" code I could get my hands on, I asked more intelligent questions and my relationship improved my manager and eventually came to be considered a generally good developer.

Once I had this breakthrough I was seeing it in younger developers all the time, and now any time someone asks for general advice on becoming a better developer one of the things I say is "read a lot of code", and more specifically "read the code in your frameworks"

This is good enough to break circular dependencies between individual modules, but keep in mind that circular dependencies between the apps remain (e.g. job depends on mediator, mediator depends on job).

I usually prefer to resolve those too. If job is small enough, all the orchestration of jobs should happen through mediator (same for load). If it's not plausible, then job can emit signals which mediator subscribes to.

A good place to start is to give a more descriptive name to the mediator. Sure, it mediates between the two, but it probably does that to implement some business process. Can you name it after that process?

Hi HN,

I built this tool because I found it useful (1) as a way to learn, and (2) to start basic data analysis quickly.

It uses OpenAI's completion and embeddings API, although I might be able to move it to a cheaper model eventually.

As far as research groups go - they get funds (project grants, donations, etc.) to purchase machines and parts, and then users have to timeshare them.

These machines are pretty much crunching numbers 24/7, and your project will get appended to a queue.

The limited activity is probably because it's actually not that exciting from a technical perspective.

The answer is almost certainly something like "lack of funding forces FAA to continue using massively outdated systems and this is what happens when someone trips over the power cord of the mainframe in some basement".

It's much more interesting when companies like Google or Facebook go down, because they properly fund their infrastructure and there might be something for the HN crowd to learn.

Bad ass! A great addition would be some content on tuning pre-trained language models for particular purposes. It would be great to have examples of things like tuning a GPT model trained on language and code to take in a context and spit out code in my custom API, or using my internal terminology. Not sure if this is RL based fine tuning or just a bunch of language to code examples in a fine tuning dataset? In essence, how can we start using language to control our software?
I do a very similar version, minus the pepperoncini. One thing that I've found can really take it up a notch is to add just a touch of soy/worcestershire sauce, maybe about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of each. IMO it adds a nice savory background flavor.
These are good points, but I would add that there are not qualified installers of solar in most areas. I'm not sure if you'd chalk that up to regulation or economics, but it's probably a little bit of both.

GPT doesn't display understanding of purely abstract systems, so I doubt it's an issue of lacking sensory information.

Well said, one thing to add is it's not uncommon to have the CPU disable further interrupts as part of the automatic handling. Or it may be configurable, it's often not something the interrupt service routine needs to explicitly do; although, sometimes it is, there's so many options.

If you're on a system where interrupts are disabled automatically, and you actually do want re-entrancy sometimes, you can usually make that happen too, but you might wait until you get to a safer place (maybe switched to a kernel stack or ??? again, so many options)
I agree, but I am quite cautious of technology which prevents me from doing something and much more comfortable with and welcoming of technology that informs me that I'm doing something unsafe, so that I can not do that thing.

There is a post going around just this morning about a Tesla that stopped itself on a major bridge in San Diego and caused a huge accident and pileup. I don't want technology that has the ability to take action like that on it's own. I don't trust it's decision making enough for that.

The idea is baffling to me that anyone lets self-driving software pilot a multi-ton steel missile that contains the only body they will ever get hurtling through an asphalt field full of other humans and an environment that is often not predictable and actively hostile. I write automation for a living, and like everyone else I know that does the same I want automation in safety-critical applications to be as simple, bulletproof, and limited as possible. Self-driving software does not fall into that category right now. Some day it probably will. Until that time I won't be buying it.
Good luck finding an easy-to-install whole house GFCI in the US market.

IMO there should be standardized trip curves so that outlet GFCIs can coordinate with branch breaker GFCIs, which can coordinate with whole-house or other larger GFCIs, etc.

You really don’t want a 5mA GFCI on your house. You do want a 5mA GFCI somewhere involved for a regular outlet, though, especially if it’s anywhere damp or wet.

(And you probably do want a GFCI tripping at a larger leakage current on any outdoor circuit. Leakage on crappy outdoor wiring is very very common and can go undetected for years. And for some reason code allows new outdoor circuits to be run in galvanized steel conduit, and there seems to be little enforcement of the use of appropriate wire nuts and such outdoors. You can buy actual high quality submersible wire nuts, and stainless steel outdoor electrical boxes exist (at absolutely obscene prices), but they’re rare. So even nominally very fancy newish buildings do things like using regular galvanized steel outlet boxes outdoors by the ocean with predictable results.)

(A GFCI outlet does not help at all of your whole outlet box floors. A 100mA GFCI upstream would presumably trip very quickly.)

I am unaware of any companies trying the hard-anonymization strategy you're suggesting (apart from, possibly, Amazon Mechanical Turk, which is not technically doing hiring in the sense that no employer-employee relationships are created). I think it would be an interesting case because there are a lot of "leaky signals" that can lead to systemic discrimination even if the company took no active measures one way or the other (for example, basing a candidate's pay on 110% of their pay at their previous employer can result in implicit wage discrimination because men tend to enter the workforce at a higher pay and catch higher pay bumps in promotions). Whether the CRA or subsequent law implies an obligation on a company to close such gaps is, perhaps, unclear.

We'd have to wait to see what happens if someone tries it. Point is: in the average case, it's setting oneself up to spend time in court, and most companies optimize for staying out of court, not becoming a test subject on the path-dependency of novel caselaw.

Having run k8s and _classical_ microservices before, I am now in a much happier place just using the AWS serverless suite (lambda, API GW, CF, SNS, SQS, eventbridge, dynamodb, etc).

Is my setup "microservices"? Well, maybe, depending on your definition, but, in truth I don't really care - it works pretty well.

We also do "DDD" with it and have multiple AWS accounts with these marking the domain borders. Comms between the accounts is via eventbridge or (very rarely) inter-account API invocation.

This allows many of the benefits of microservices, without the pain of dealing with k8s. Clean separation of domains, reduced cognitive loads for teams, each of which looks after all the stuff in a single account (so-called feature teams, where each team designs/manages and runs everything in that account/domain).

The hard bit was defining the domain borders, and the inter-domain protocols/interactions, but, once this is well defined, things work pretty well.

Having come from a k8s world, this setup feels so much nicer, and lighter, and easier to get stuff built in a both fast and performant way.

It would be interesting to see trends away from _classical_ "cloud-native" (k8s) setups with microservices, to true serverless setups. I wonder how much of k8s's lunch serverless has managed to eat so far.

I don’t know about the rest of Europe, but here’s how it usually plays out in Sweden: 1. Company needs to save money. 2. Company decides to shut branch office X and cancel project Y. 3. Company now has more employees than it has positions. 4. Employees get reshuffled across remaining positions according to complex rules (but basically last-in-first-out). 5. Employees that end up being "left over" are laid off. So the official reason is not "lack of money", but "lack of work". I’ve seen it happen several times, and ended up on both sides of the rope, so to speak. It’s a matter of Following The Procedures, but that’s all there is to it.

> electric tools (like chainsaws)

The amount of electricity shifting all gas powered tools like chainsaws and lawn mowers to electricity is less than a drop in the bucket compared to the other needs. Changing all my tools from gas to battery increased my electric bill in the peak growing season by like 2.5kWh/month, compared to a usual usage of ~2,000kWh/mo. Its also a pretty easy to time shift demand and doesn't need that 2.5kWh in an instant, that was over a whole month!
Right, don't go off code for having to do a big upgrade like this.

I legit hit 100A several times a month. Have hit over 150A.

Easy way for me to draw 100A at once:

40A: EV charging

32A: Electric Oven warming up at max

24A: Electric Dryer

40A: HotTub jets on

40A: AC ON Max

Unlikely all of those are on full max, but it's pretty easy to imagine getting past 100A before we even touch things like lights and computers.

EV + Dryer + Hot Tub pretty much pull max for the entire run, the other stuff is more likely to cycle up and down.
