Just be good at what you do.

Goldman is going through layoffs, and other banks too. But they are going through layoffs all the time, you just don't read about that.

Some of the people who will be laid off will be out of a job for a long time, but some will find a job quite quickly. The better you are at your job, the lower the likelihood that you'll lose your job, and if you do, the shorter the period until you find another job.

I know, job safety looks nice, and at first sight a society where everyone's job is on the line at any point in time looks scary. But the flip side is that this is what makes business dynamic. A society where it's impossible to lay people off is not going to be able to compete with one where businesses hire and fire at will.

PS: I came to terms with the idea that I'll lose my job at least once before I retire long time ago. So far I didn't, but if I do tomorrow, I won't think it's the end of the world. I'll just celebrate the day I get my first new paycheck like the day I celebrated my first one years ago. I like to think I'll feel decades younger.
I think our analyses of the Russian state are based on such fundamentally different premises that we will never come to any meaningful agreement, and further discussion is pointless.
It's interesting that so many people vociferously deny that corporations are people, yet just as many seem to habitually ascribe motives and moral character to them, and hate or love them as if they are, in fact, people. Maybe this is a disjoint set, but I doubt it.
I'm not sure what the hype is about. It's another chess bot that's not as good as the best. There are so many of these already. Is it because it has a cute name and avatar?
+1 for retribution and social benefits mentioned. Should be obvious. People don't watch enough gangster movies. Or, hell, visit one of the regions of the globe with blood feuds. Not great.
All those companies are made up of individuals who must make those exact same decisions for themselves.

As for blacklists, if you're a douchebag you'd better be real good at something, because people never forget that, and in no time you have a rep. Anyone who has been around for a while has names on their DO NOT HIRE list, and if those resumes run across their desk it's instant reject.
That’s right, forcing you to stop forcing others to do things still means that you’re the tyrant.
Recidivism
Not a red flag. You don’t need to be a coder to be successful in tech.

Coders are well served having smart people around them who have other skills and can still speak tech. He’ll probably do better than a run of the mill engineer.
It kinda depends on what's being done.

There are a lot of physical systems that are capable of damaging themselves if they operate in an unconstrained manner - so the limitations are software defined.

Look, for example, at what Stuxnet is capable of doing to industrial centrifuges.

Now, it's somewhat unlikely that user defined software will cause damage comparable to active malware - but mistakes do happen.

(marcus0x62's comment pretty much invalidates what I just said.)
Build is like Makefile for single files (2017)
Yeah for pure pixels it was up near VGA for games like Simcity and wasn’t really surpassed until we got to SVGA.
You can short sell anything.
Sentence 'Therefore, a programming language such as Haskell has only functions taking one argument.' is a little bit misleading. Haskell perfectly fine handles multi-argument functions. It even has functions `curry` and `uncurry` in the Prelude.
A bank run isn't a systemic risk to the banking system because we have the FDIC.
If legislation is going to get involved, wouldn't better mobile coverage at faster speeds be the thing to go for? Wouldn't that have broader impact?

I'm not saying the last mile doesn't count. Only that given the choice it feels like they went for the fax machine.
As with most things, under many worlds you barely need any interpretation. You either read the measurement and thereby entangle your own state with what was measured (putting yourself in a superposition of having seen one waveform or the other), or you don't and you see the interference pattern. There's not really anything to interpret or explain.

> ENVY/Developer prerequisites "defining exactly which other code an application expects to access"?

What guarantees such pre-requisites are accurately documented and abided by?

Again if you never save or switch the image it can't give you too many problems. But what's the benefit of image-based development then?

I think it is like GOTO. You don't need to use GOTO even if your language provides it. But it is a bad idea for a language to provide a GOTO because then many people will use it. and shoot themselves in the foot.
I minted nearly 1 BTC rather a lot of years ago and it vanished with a Pentium II to III upgrade (or similar). Oh well! I probably ran up £5 of 'leccy back then minting it. I probably spent more on Folding@Home and the like.

For me the ledgers/blockchains and provability things are important but trying to fennangle a "value" out of thin air is a step too far. Even if that step involves a Norway MW Year.

Eventually something useful might come out of all of this but I don't think it will be a currency you can spend. In the meantime, the world burns or at least gets a bit more toasty.
They are going to "revoke" that license in the way that you will no longer be able to sell content with that license in the stores they control (which are all of the ones that matter).
Well... that's what happens when academia depends on poorly-paid grad student labor. They accept too many people into PhD programs (relative to the demand for PhDs in academia) for the cheap labor. The over-supply also makes it easier to exploit tenure-hungry assistant professors and adjuncts. It's how colleges have managed to make faculty costs go down (in real-dollar terms) for three decades.

Lots of PhDs end up in high paid jobs not because that's particularly what they want to do, but because they literally can't find a job in academia. The fact that finance and tech pay well is just a bonus.
The purpose of the "fake" kind is to filter basic stuff like grease out so that it doesn't coat your walls. The filter in it is very basic, but if you look at one that has been used for a while, it is usually covered in a thick coat of grease. That's grease that didn't go somewhere else.

It's definitely not as good as one that vents outdoors, but it's not worthless either.
I often have to wait 3+ months for an appointment with a specialist in SF. Yes we do need doctors. As the population ages we will need even more. One of the major conservative arguments against public health systems is "Do you want to have to wait 3 months to see a doctor like they do in X? (Canada, UK etc)" Apparently our non-gov't based healthcare system is unable to deliver that either.

Kaiser Medical has their own medical school where doctors are trained and leave without debt. https://medschool.kp.org/. I know - I know - a Non-Profit behaving like a Non-Profit is almost unheard of in the US. Think of it - what if not for profit Universities decided to graduate all types of students without debt. Especially top Universities with outrageous endowments - who only pay 1.4 percent tax on the income. Makes you wonder how much profit is in the not for profit institution:)

If you use an ultrasonic humidifier with a demineralization cartridge, it will turn your burners bright orange due to the sodium added to the air. It's not dangerous, but very disconcerting until you know what's up.
Interesting because I’ve been doing the same these last few months; getting back into physical books. I find there’s so much more peace and focus in reading a book vs scrolling the Internet. I don’t think our minds were supposed to have so many distractions communicated through a backlit medium.
How does FDIC behave in a high-inflation environment?
And? That describes lots of people who don't go out and commit heinous crimes.
How being the supply finite is relevant? This idea that being scarce implies value makes no sense.

You realize we can go on github and setup a bitcoin network too, we call it BitcoinYC, our coins have the same properties of bitcoins, why would that have a value?

Please repeat with me:

- currencies (wheter fiat or crypto) have no value. You can't do anything with them, maybe watch dead national heroes printed or them. They hold no assets and don't generate value.

- Currencies have a price though, in other currencies, assets or services. E.g. Both usd and bitcoin are worthless but both have prices set by demand vs supply

- scarcicity does not mean value. Intrinsic value means value. E.g. water has tremendous value but low price. Gold has tremendous value and price. A car has some value, a business has a value. But currencies only have a price.
> if I were a bank, bitcoin presents a compelling argument. The supply is finite.

I've worked at a number of banks now and what keeps them up at night isn't how much money they could make or what competitive technologies like Bitcoin are doing.

It's their ability to consistently operate with the increasingly tight regulatory guard-rails imposed by the government. And Bitcoin's incompatibility with KYC and AML regulations render it unpalatable for most financial organisations.

Honestly unsure why anyone would go for a french press when AeroPress exists, it seems to me to be strictly superior. And of course you can take it camping, too.

A new kind of preservation issue: image generation AIs don't know what an amber monitor is. DallE and SD both get it confused with monitor lizards, women named Amber, and things made of amber.
- Hot chicks have 1000x threats from Neighbors snooping, security guards watching cameras and plain old leering on the streets / real world.

Their threat from Large Cos collecting data is neglible or near zero.
Last I heard they were making 7M a year, with very few reserved for end users. To improve the situation they promised 100k reserved for end users. Seems much like the GPU fiasco where a company reserves all their product, leaving none for end users, and the market collapses (worst GPU sales in 20 hears).
I don't know about Singapore specifically, but it has always been notoriously difficult for crypto businesses to open bank accounts.

The consequences would have been borne by your spouse, family, friends, the rangers who came to retrieve your body. This is such a young male take on dangerous activities.
Pre-ground coffee in an AeroPress is infinitely better than Keurig.
That doesn't sound like someone particularly mentally ill. Just your common dark triad who can't take responsibility for his actions.
Thanks!! Of course there's much more to the story and most of it is awesome. I just use those points to drive home how hard indie dev is.
Yes, someone realized that marketing still works on everyone, and decided to put some legwork into promoting their chess bot.

I'm surprised it took so long too.

I would have expected to see AI versions of well known grandmasters and other notable figures to drive users to these chess sites.
FDIC was introduced in 1933.

And the inflation rate today is nothing compared to previous years [1]. So my guess is just fine.

Smells like a "submarine"-type PR story (http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html) for chess.com.
BTW when was the last time you saw a doctor get laid off. Job security is pretty high.
To each their own. I didn’t really learn how to write until in grad school, when I had things I really wanted to write about. I can imagine how much joy would have been sucked out of writing if I just had to write some essay every week that I didn’t have much interest in.
As a Tesla owner, I hope something comes of this.

I’ve been actively peering into Tesla driver’s windows during my commute for about a year now and I’ve seen multiple drivers apparently napping and MANY who are two hand clutching a phone or book with their heads down.

I suppose my ideal solution would be better “awareness monitoring” tech from Tesla combined with a law enforcement push to really hammer AP abusers. Eg: you get caught sleeping with some AP keepalive device installed? Huge fine and they immediately call a tow truck

I don’t understand how Just being written in rust as opposed to C has anything to do with this?
No, it’s true. Death by drowning in a riptide is a 100 people a year in the US. That’s almost literally nothing.
This article is about layoffs of 20% of employees at Scale AI (YC S16). I submitted with the original title.

For anyone keeping track of company names of employees as shown in layoff notices, these folks are "Scaliens".
My understanding is companies rarely resort to suing former employees to recover bonus payouts, as it's a lot of work and generally deemed not worth the time and effort to go through the full protracted legal process. The legal advice I received about this as a hypothetical situation / concern was to simply not respond to any further inquiries from the company after resigning.

This particular case is egregious since she only ended up with 10% of the bonus amount as cash due to ridiculously high moving costs.
Recommend him continue doing MBA. He isn't that technical even though maybe very gifted academically or even programming. As long as he is not heavy into dirty programming, after 3-4 years he will be very weak compare to his peers. By 10th year he will be totally consider incompetent in programming even though he can read a bit of the codes. Since he is social, it is more likely he able to flourish well in the management level (or sales). Having MBA from reputable school allows him to have direct entry into that tier without needing to go thru the lower ranked CS artisans. I am in HR for more than 3 decades, so that is what I can observe and tell.
Is there a theory that anything that requires a certain level of computation to solve is itself capable of that level of computation?
It's a lot older policy choice than Hinckley so maaaayyybe a little more to it.
Ironic, since the relatively recently discovered double descent makes it clear that bias-variance tradeoff as we know it from statistical learning theory simply doesn't apply to "overparameterized" deep models.

Much of old theory is barely applicable and people are, understandably, bewildered and in denial.

If someone were to be inclined to theory, I'd just recommend reading papers that don't try oversimplify the domain:

I’ve occasionally wanted more power when reducing liquids or when trying to cook wet vegetables in a bit of oil. Otherwise it’s plenty.

It is interesting because these people tend to use people of other races as a tool with which they make themselves look virtuous, while simultaneously calling anyone who disagrees with them as racist. It’s an interesting tactic.
I don’t think this one example they provided is indicative. Didn’t the BIS just give their okay for banks to hold 2% of reserves in Bitcoin? Also, didn’t FASB just change their accounting rules to make businesses holding crypto easier on the balance sheet?

Presumably demand is going in the opposite direction that this blurb would indicate.
> Empty threats are Russia's MO and have been for literal decades now. They've threatened Europe with nukes so many times that it doesn't even make the news anymore when it happens.

And would those threats be more or less credible if Russia unilaterally destroyed all their own nukes (and proved that they had done so)?

> Most of his recent actions seem to be best explained as short-term fixes to a massive strategic blunder.

Uh huh. And how does this help him, exactly? Putin must be the dumbest person to ever play eleventy-seven degree chess with such skill.
That's so cool. Did you build this from instructions somewhere or just using your imagination and seeing what works? Perhaps a build log article maybe?
That's a very polite way of saying you don't have a rebuttal to any of these points, I suppose.
In lawyer's fees or in damages?
I listened to a great episode of the Ezra Klein show about "Deep reading". (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/22/opinion/ezra-klein-podcas...)

They talk about the distinction between reading a book where you have no distractions and no "next" task to move on to and reading on a device - where you are a mere click away from other information & stimulation.

In order to spend actual time reading articles you need to get into a state where you aren't reading to be done with the article and don't care how much time you spend in this state which is pretty hard.

Apps like Pocket/Upnext/Matter/Readwise help, but I find that it takes more than this. People often send their articles to a kindle to facilitate this kind of reading.

Indeed, not currently. The problem is where crypto will go after the next winter. Maybe FTX will have scared off the next batch of newcomers, but then again 2017 and people still were lured back again.
You're right, they've suffered a terrible injustice. They are the real victims. We should probably free all violent criminals at once. What could go wrong?
My fear is that eventually people will star loosing holding over cryptos and banks will star to buy them very cheap, so they will control the supply and not people. once again banks having the full grip.
I've lost my mind. I literally just implemented a dictionary web API the other week and have completely forgotten how I did it. Just forget what I wrote.
Water is finite
> Did you read the book?

Yes.

> I don't believe "racial discrimination is necessary" is one of them.

Did you read the book?

Racial equity (as opposed to racial equality) by definition requires racial discrimination. There is no other way to achieve the "desired" equitable outcomes other than racial preferences. It's a point acknowledged in Kendi's work along with every other "antiracist" author of note.
oh i don't know. somewhere in the multiple responses in this subject got to talking about fiber, so that's what this is in my head. re-reading, i see the title as they are only requiring gigabit speed, not what medium is sent.

These days*, the equity component of most** offers takes the form of RSUs, not options, i.e. when the equity vests, you just get stock (public or private).

*, ** For some definition of "these days" and "most", based on first-hand factual knowledge of the FAANGs (except Netflix with their special approach to comp), various "unicorns", and a long list of US-based companies modeling themselves on and/or aspiring to be the next FAANGs and unicorns.

Is it that extreme though? It seems reasonable to assume that our ancestors would have been in and out of ketosis frequently in pre-history, meaning that our physiology should well adapted to this state of being.
Perhaps they were referring to colour monitors of the same vintage. Cheap composite monitors were terrible. Component video was much better, but also more expensive and not all systems supported it. I also seem to recall the text being fuzzier on component than on monochrome displays, but that may have been a function of the electronics or picture tubes of the monitors I had access to.
3AC as well.
I think it's a lot more nuanced. If you're joining LargeTechCo as one of thousands of entry level new hires, then reneg on an offer accept, I don't think that's a big deal.

But let's say it's a startup that put considerable effort into hiring you, and turned down other candidates, and you reneg just because you got a slightly better offer? You'll probably burn a few bridges.
what a fantasticly cute way to get chess some attention and make it less "stuffy".

One month, or three months for those kept on the payroll by law, would not seem "paltry" to the millions of people who get laid off or let go with no severance.
Hasn't that happened multiple times over the last ~5 years? Or are there different definitions of long vs short term bonds that are more accurate (eg you can compare 30 yr vs 1 month, or you can compare 10 year vs 1 year)
WotC owns or controls all the places those creators sell their stuff. So they definitely have the economic means to force creators to abandon the old license.

Ask HN: What do you wish was better in designer-developer interactions?
I'm studying how developers and designers can work together. I am curious about what sources of friction developers see with the other side (and vice versa).

One problem I am seeing is the developer handoff. Often designers give developers a Figma file, which is constantly changing, so developers are not sure when a design is finalized.

What other issues do you face in your team?
The text across hundreds of books, modules, guides, maps, and other materials that describe various classes, items, spells, and other elements is 100% copyrightable, and anything that is "substantially similar" would be infringing on those copyrights. So yes, you're right, you can't copyright the real world rule for a game, but with enough existing copyrighted text, good luck describing similar rules in a similar universe with similar naming in a way that isn't substantially similar.
Probably all those regulations put in place to keep people from disappearing with your money. There are many other friendly countries for these types of businesses like the Bahamas for example.
