So why wouldn't a dating site just put its users through trusted high-power psychological screening instruments, to determine that sort of stuff? They're just questionnaires, mostly; they can be done entirely through a web/mobile UI, and scored without any humans in the loop.

Do the developers of dating sites think that people will consider it too much of a bother to fill out such things, or consider such questions too invasive? I don't know why; people love personality quizzes.

(IMHO you could make the whole site just a BuzzFeed "what kind of person are you? take this quiz to find out!" site at its core, except through all the quizzes you're doing, it's building up a very thorough psychological profile of you; and when it's got enough, it opens up the ability for you to date through it.)
You'd have to have the hashes based on small portions of the responses, in order to catch copies where the recipient made minor changes throughout.

I spent a year in a permanent homeless camp in Arizona. It was a community. Everyone knew everyone else. Most folks worked when they could get it. Most had some sort of emotional problem that got in the way of entering the mainstream economy: a Viet Nam vet with alcohol problems; an out of work painter; a young couple with self respect, tobacco, and alcohol problems who saved their income and a bought a cheap Chinese generator gradually bettering their life style; an elderly man with cancer; a day laborer; and more. We kept the place clean and kept to ourselves. It was a quiet and peaceful place. I do believe that everyone there was living the best life they could sustain.

On rare occasions a sketchy group would passed through who committed theft and vandalism. A pair of local teenagers occasionally harassed us. On some Saturday nights, a guy would show up and scream insults at us. A group moved in and got into fights. The law warned them to end the violence or else. A few weeks later law enforcement drove everyone away. I don't believe that did any good whatsoever.
IIRC the OkCupid data indicated that women pursued the top 20% of men almost exclusively, rated by physical attraction. Men pursued the top 50% of women.

Online is a stacked deck, though I'd agree it can still widen an IRL pool. Met my SO through an online site. Though it still took years and I was using 4 sites at a time, occasionally paid ones too.

Ask HN: Twitter Employees, How Have Things Changed from Your Perspective?
There's been all kinds of news articles that are primarily click-bait since Elon's takeover. These seem to have settled down a bit. What do things actually look like at Twitter now?

I would also be curious to hear whether compensation has changed at all as a Twitter employee. I would guess that pre-Elon stock was a part of the compensation package, but now that he owns the company privately has compensation shifted?

Or they haven't properly designed their cloud arch to even moderately scale. We can obviously see their AI and CS talent, but do we have any gauge on their internal systems and IT talent?

I've used ChatGPT maybe 3 times since launch and 2 out of 3 attempts resulted in a "come back later" type message. It would make sense to see which accounts are the heavy users and throttle them in favor of lightly used accounts but I guess they didn't think of that or decided against it for some reason?
Are those restrictions common in cases that don't allegedly involve intoxication? For the most part, the federal restrictions I've seen usually have a purported connection to the criminal activity.

A thousand thanks for not saying "addition is not commutative".

Yeah, or using a type system that lets you avoid making NaN a float to both force the case to be handled and prevent NaN from leaking into the math.
Screening is possible, but what you've described - fixing all DNA errors - is not at all an easy problem.

DNA can have an abundance of errors, epigenetic signals, etc. It has spatial packing and organization problems to overcome. Attempting the repairs themselves will each be bespoke mini problems that could introduce further disease states if the fix fails.

My thinking is that by the time we have this technology as described, the world will have moved beyond humans.

We're in a race. Will we advance 10x in molecular capabilities before we advance to AGI and beyond? I think not.

Speaking as someone who was adopted, I also can't relate to the necessity of having a child borne of your own genes. There are lots of ways to increase value in this world, and solving this problem completely is an incredibly niche application of the limited time and talent we have. The necessary tech advances themselves are way more valuable than the problem described here.

The change in mine is moving await into the second for loop, so that it can be caught and handled.

I see. Well, for what it's worth, in my tuple example, you either have one or the other, i. e. the K result or an Error; so, if you don't check for error (or result), the compiler gives an error saying that "K is possibly `null`".

> They added AirDrop specifically for this, and... Like 90% of the time I don't see my other device, or the transfer fails. I don't even bother anymore.

Oh god! This bugs me so much. I don't understand why it's so hard to get this right. I'm sure it is, but why?

I know that if one of my devices switches from our 5GHz to our 2.4GHz network this can happen, but even when they're on the same network, it happens sometimes. (And why do my devices keep trying to force themselves off of the 5GHz network? WTF?)

And I get that it's called "Airdrop", but I'd really like it to work over ethernet, too, since that's a lot faster!
That's pretty much how it works now, at least with IVF, pre-implantation genetic testing and known mutations/deletions.
(Yeah, wasn't sure how to rewrite the analogy to make it clear it was about the issue of lifetime.

Interesting take. Somehow I feel confident and positive about all the things you call out, but struggle with the idea and situation of doing artificial coding puzzles while someone is watching, but judging instead of helping like a pair would. I enjoy doing coding puzzles for fun, but not while being watched and judged and a clock is ticking.

What cheaters would do if ChatGPT didn't exist? They would probably be doing the exact same things they've been doing before ChatGPT existed.

If you meant the OOP specifically, either they would cheat in some old-fashioned way or not cheat at all. Difficult to tell, especially since we don't know whether it was the first time they cheated.
I haven't noticed. I'm old enough to generally find that the fonts are too small. I used to rail about wanting to kill javascript, but more recently I've come to believe that we should also kill CSS, since CSS messes up rendering if you change the font size or the window size. I use reader mode in preference to whatever the site designer wanted almost everywhere that I can.
To offer a counterpoint, you can also say it’s testing for people who are willing to do the work to get the task at hand done, and filter out people who say “well I could do that I just choose not to”.
Well put. The underlying debate is not do what extent machines are able to think like humans, but to what extent humans are merely organic machines. Or as you alluded to, more simply it is monism versus dualism. And dualism is just the generalization of the God of the gaps fallacy.

Is there a subtle difference between a dating website designed to get you single dates and a matchmaking website designed to get you a long term relationship? Tinder's really successful; I am being clueless here but I don't get the impression that it's designed to generate stable relationships.

The perverse incentive described is only perverse if you assume your customers want to stop using the site after the first good match.
> With a Sumizeit subscription, you have access to an ever-growing library of book summaries, with new books added every day.

I wouldn't pay for this, but it's a fair thing to be a subscription because it's continually updated.

I think this business model suffers more fundamentally from lack of need - I can already find an adequate summary of any book, and AI can pretty much already do it too.
Apple does embrace your approach: they'd rather re-implement than fix. I think the example cited by the post (Apple Music) and more generally the experience of the last 15 years of Apple suggests that your this is wrong, at least for Apple.

Auckland

You could even omit Auckland as it's implied by the simple 1000-series postcode.

The property boom may have led to subdivisions making a 1337/2 necessary but the vast majority of buildings outside of metro areas are detached, single family properties.
No power infrastructure is either quick or cheap. I would think a subsea interconnector would be quicker to build than an offshore windfarm (as there are fewer components - no turbines or structures, and even fewer cables!)

The UK is leading the world in grid interconnection and offshore wind build out (though all owned by none UK entities), so if they aren’t building quickly enough I don’t know anyone who is….
I found Adobe's subscription was more painful in its execution than what actually is.

Back when I had subscription with them, I had to pay monthly but locked to their annual contract, so I had certain period of time I can cancel, and out side of that, they would charge me penalty.

I guess they now have prepaid option which works like most of other services these days, that you can essentially pay up front and if you cancel, would continue to end of the term.

Actually what worse is ones used by many Japanese services -- where payment date is always 1st of the month regardless of the date you established your contract (so if you start your service on the 31st of the month, they would charge for full month for <1 day of service), and the service deactivates at the moment the service is canceled. (You'll get charged for the full month even if you cancel on the early days of the month, for the full month that you don't have access to the service...)
You can get an exception! Just enable FP exceptions for the invalid exception, and compile all of your code such that it's FP-exception aware, and you can get the exception.

> The Idiotic "Most People Cannot Program" Myth

Once you do enough interviews, you realize this isn't a myth. Okay, maybe most is too strong of a qualifier. But the reality is that a title of Senior Software Engineer doesn't imply the ability to translate human problems into machine-executable code in a structured way. It's very possible that a "Senior Software Engineer" has been working at a small consultancy on the same project for 5+ years, has few if any technical teammates, and spends most of their time copy and pasting StackOverflow answers and doing "guess and check" programming to do bug fixes for a legacy VB6 or FoxPro app. I'd know, as I've worked with those people.

That being said...

> The interviewer asked me a very basic question– something small like how to create a table(or something silly like that).

If you're asking syntax questions in an interview, you've already lost. For technical interviews, the thought process is far more important than the end result. Again, programming is the act of turning human problems into machine code in a structured, repeatable way. Pseudocode is sufficient for this. Forget whether you should be using `sort` or `sorted` in python? Me too, so just tell me what you expect the sort method to do and move on.

So yes, asking for the SQL create table syntax in an interview is absurd and the author is right to complain here.

> Actually talk about their fucking resume... You can easily filter out people who just coasted along vs those who accomplished something.

Sorry, but you cannot. Some people are excellent at bullshitting and making themselves sound like incredible workers, especially if they've had time to prepare. You'll hear amazing stories of late nights and heroic effort, but they were often done by other people and merely observed by the interviewee, or just fabrications.
Mailbrew has a new home (and is now free)
I received this email from the Mailbrew team today. Signed off from Ev Williams.

————————————

Dear Mailbrew User, I am writing to let you know that Mailbrew has changed ownership. Your friendly creators, Francesco and Fabrizio, have decided to focus on Typefully. Because I was a fan and user, I offered to take Mailbrew off their hands, so we could continue to support and improve this wonderful product.

As you may have noticed, if you were a paid subscriber, we stopped charging you a while back. Mailbrew is now free—indefinitely. Which is to say, we are not focused on revenue. It is not to say there will not be a paid option in the future. We'll let you know.

Nothing else significant is changing in the near future. We will continue to iterate and improve the service. If you have ideas or feedback, please let us know at support@mailbrew.com

I think it really depends heavily on the job in question. If you are making physical widgets it is easy to track and prove you did things, but with less 'quantifiable' contributions, it just varies. I personally started a habit of documenting each meeting and interaction ( which also actually helped me to organize my rather messy approach to everything ) to make sure people know things are happening.
Whether it's plagiarism (or cheating) depends on the context. If you're in a class where your english ability is being evaluated in your writing, it's cheating. If it's adding new ideas, its cheating.

If you're writing technical reports that have no english or stylistic weighting in the grading, and you're using it solely as an advanced grammar checker and making sure all the ideas in the content are your own, then it could be acceptable.
The X-Men (famous mutant characters) are for comic books. How it usually goes in nature, mutations are bad. Once in a rare blue moon, they are good. Often in some odd, unexpected, or plus versus minus type of way.

And actually, hybridization between near species or more robust mixing between more genetically unrelated pairs tends to be better for more useful adaptations.
> the USPS... offer free access to an API that includes address validation, and thankfully most shipping services now use it.

Unfortunately not all. My street "number", like 100,000 other houses near me, includes a letter in the middle. USPS will happily validate it correctly, but there are still websites I encounter from time to time that complain or refuse to work.

Where I am, 100 years ago, if your house wasn't inside a city, it simply didn't have an address. The fire departments got together and created a geographic encoding scheme that would allow them to find a house if they needed to. In the 1960s, the USPS adopted it as official. New homes continue to be issued addresses according to the scheme, even though it is not rural at all - it's inside one of the largest metro areas of the US.
Because reference counting is slow.

I think you're just repeating yourself, but I'm not sure what question you're answering.

RC count can be larger than one even when only a single thread using it. But I’m not familiar with this usage and it is not really RC for memory management anymore, more like a lock-less data structure.

I don't understand what you are saying here.

things like using scripting languages for part of the game logic.

Scripting languages are slow for a lot of reasons, like pointer chasing and excessive memory allocations. Reference counting is a very small piece of that puzzle.
I think you missed the bit where the really rich people facilitating this encourage and amplify racism with continuous stories in the press they own.
> Anyone who denies the legitimacy of democratic elections

Were you not alive for Bush v. Gore ? All of us on the left denied the legitimacy of that election, loudly, repeatedly, and I don't remember that being considered an "enormous threat to the nature of democracy".
What scares me a lot is as we transition into a more automated society. There's a question I ask people a lot: "How do we transition into post scarcity? If 10% of our labor is fully automated, how do we restructure our economy?" One suggestion I've gotten from this is busy work (we also agreed that the cure might be worse than the disease). But I can see as we transition this way these tools can become extremely pervasive. We have to be thinking about these issues _now_ rather than later. (part of the question is how we make this transition while doing as little harm to people as possible, since revolution could be likely).

I don't think enough people are thinking about how small changes like these can cascade over time and become huge issues. After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Last time I checked there were 47,000 HN posts about ADHD with about 1,000,000 comments. The distractions that folks like us have are often creative and appealing. I suspect that this plays a role in the number of ADHD in tech and entrepreneurship.
Something I have rarely seen mentioned: ask the interviewee about the things they claim in their CV. Sure, it takes some prep time, but it makes them feel more comfortable, and it also weeds out the bullshitters because even without the deep technical knowledge in that area you can just ask them to talk specifics. If they know their stuff, they will dive into something super detailed. If others did the work and they were just along for the ride, they will gloss over all the details.
