>This advice always cracks me up.

And, yet, all three jobs I've had in the last 25 years (including one in 2001), I landed because I knew someone senior at the company pretty well. Not strictly engineering but tech and tech ecosystem companies. Was that lucky and atypical? Perhaps. But those were my experiences.

The last job I got through "normal" channels was from a campus interview at grad school.
Cool! wonder if it is created by 1 of the 8,000 ex-salesforce.
Same here, I read the Readme twice and was still puzzled what this is for.
I've never spent any time in the US.
I hate how hard it is to do bank transfers in the US.

When I was in Sydney, you just added someone's BSB and account numbers, and you could add their phone number and most apps would know how to translate that... and you could Vemno / Zelle without the app.

Dirt simple.

No clue why it has to be complicated in the US. Just seems moronic.
That's a bit like what they call, arson, murder and jaywalking. When you mix together things that we need in moderation to live (food), things whose harmfulness is questionable (entertainment) with two of the biggest causes of ill health and misery - well, that makes alcohol and tobacco look far better than they are.

Not to let the fast food industry entirely off the hook, but alcohol, tobacco and gambling really are in a league of their own when it comes to profits being tied to harmful use.
I don’t think the crises or emergency phrasing is particularly accurate. We have already locked in a great deal of climate change over the coming decades and urgent actions now won’t change that. I don’t think ‘emergency’ should apply to situations where things get worse over the next 30 years but actions today may cause them to be less terrible in 80 years.

The narrative about shrinking economies doesn’t make sense to me because for lots of countries like the US, they emitted more when their economies were smaller. We don’t want to go back to that.

I think pushing to reduce emissions by shrinking economies is unconscionable as it effectively corresponds to reducing standards of living across the world and particularly harms the poorest countries. I also dislike it because it is obviously politically unpalatable and so the people who favour it either long for some kind of authoritarian to impose it[1] or get to smugly say they were right while their desired plan doesn’t get implemented. I would much rather governments were pushed towards policies that would be desirable to people while also reducing emissions.

[1] I also note that the biggest authoritarian country is burning more and more coal with increasing emissions while the biggest non-authoritarian countries have falling emissions and growing economies.
It is made up.

>Again I did not equivocate anti white racism with anti semetism. But fandamentally they are the same thing : racism.

You are because you keep comparing them. One of them is real, one of them is imagined in your head. Are white people being put into camps because they are white? No? Then fuck off with your bullshit.

>Also, youve been completely hostile, rude, and unwilling to grant that my arguments are in good faith. This argument will not be productive because you refuse to be amicable. Have a nice life.

Sure, it's because they aren't. Your arguments are not based in good faith. I will repeat that so it's clear.

> This argument will not be productive because you refuse to be amicable

There is no amicability to someone making up the notion that white people are persecuted in any way like jews are and you're a fucking moron for suggesting so.
That's an interesting question. If you are dead set on being frugal and don't need help from your investors (in the form of introductions, etc.), then you could draw a line in the sand and refuse to cross it.

If things don't go well, it would probably be hard to raise money for a future startup, due to the reputational damage of not having followed the VC playbook.

If things go fine, the VCs would probably say you could have grown even faster by spending faster. And what's considered a 'fine' outcome for you (selling for $15M with 1/3 for you) is not considered 'fine' for a VC whose model requires bigger wins — even if they take much longer.
... except for in places like Nigeria and Kenya, because if there were a global minimum wage then companies would hire in countries that are more stable and predictable.
How do you know that's not a part of the joke?
I'm not sure if there is a good business model in password management. I can't answer that question. What I do know is, a good password manager is the type of software that should strive to be feature complete. And at that point resources should be used for maintenance, security, and software/OS compatibility updates. In other words, a low-if-any growth, but profitable business assuming the software is good.

But once you get into VC funding or acquisitions, businesses tend to want to grow and bloat their products by adding features no one asked for to increase their perceived value. I know I'm tired of seeing this happen to beloved software time and time again.
As much as I love this idea, part of me read this and thought "Great, one more reason for women who aren't interested in me to feign even more interest, because big event xyz is coming up and it's 'revealed' to them I can afford it so it's 'revealed' to me they want to go."

(Now somebody is going to tell me they still make good money writing ColdFusion! Apparently there was a 2021 release with a 2023 release expected, it is still a going concern. I used to get paid to write ColdFusion, like 20 years ago).
In product design, Personas are a way to agree on jobs to be done, scope the work and help find new ideas for features.

In Marketing it helps to brief agencies and to talk about a big group of people in a less homogeneous way.

One person can be in multiple persona categories, and personas can change or evolve over time.

I don’t see the “dystopian” aspect in it, nor do Insee it demolish any idea.

It’s just a tool.
We could be talking about different things, but networking at conferences and professional events has been productive for me. I'm talking real-life socializing here, not LinkedIn. You can size people up quickly and determine whether they are competent/sane without a lengthy interview process. It's less about having friends in high places than sharing war stories and establishing a rapport with like-minded people in an informal, semi-work-related context. You're not really trying to find a job or employees, but you might meet enough people and your contacts eventually become an organic part of the hiring or job-hunting process.
That room detection onboard belongs to Sonos. Auto Trueplay is what they call it.
As always surfing teaches much about this. Fighting the current is futile and achieves nothing but exhaustion and likely the need of others to come to your aid once you give up. If you simply move laterally (while fighting just enough to not go backwards) you soon reach a point where you can making easy progress forward again, and then once ashore take a direct simple path to where you wanted to go.
One of my exes is to the left of the literal Cuban communist party. I'm right of the Cuban communists, yet also left of the UK's Labour Party. The UK's Labour Party is to the left of the USA's Democrat party.

She's an anarcho-communist. Cuban communism is famously the opposite of an anarchy.
In my limited knowledge of fertilizers the larger problem seems to be P and K which are sourced from mined minerals rather than air. It's possible to fix soil N with legumes but I don't know of a sustainable solution for PK leaving the farm with crop outputs.
Not exactly an answer to your question, but from a pytorch standpoint, there are still many operations that are not supported on MPS[1]. I can't recall a circumstance where an architecture I wanted to train was fully supported on MPS, so some of the training ends up happening in CPU at that point.

Wow, managing one's dating life with a crm app has got to be the most distopian thing I've seen in a while.

I probably need to point out that I'm not dissing the app. If it succeeds, the creators are obviously filling a need in the market, but confirmation of such a need would indicate dating as I define it is horribly broken
It is known, that TeX algorithm to split long text into strings to make paragraph is globally-optimal, but splitting stack of lines into pages are only locally-optimal due to memory constrains at the time of original TeX implementation.

Does this system uses globally-optimal algorithm for second step (page composition)? Does anybody know globally-optimal formatting system?
Mac OS (and some linux desktops) seems to really expect you to manage windows by having them always be full screen and swiping between desktops. Which makes changing browser window geometry sub-optimal.

Even on desktops where it's reasonably easy, it's pretty annoying to have to resize the window when you go to different sites to get them to format properly.

Thanks for that link. Looks like its a mixed bag between Texas and California. Out of the 9 crime statistics, California is better for 5 while Texas is better for 4. And sometimes the differences are small. For example for burglary, the rate is 392.8 for Texas while 392.8 for while 386.1 for California.

Looks like they were trying to emulate a command line style interface to reduce the monotony of filling out forms. As with any radical deviation from the norm, some people will hate it, some might love it. Don't assume your own experience, or people you've heard from, is representative of everyone.
You should recognize the possibility that she was scammed, did authorize the payment and is now embarrassed or in denial about it.
Pretty sure this is meant as a joke, but dating has become so twisted now that I'm not actually 100% sure. Which makes this perfect satire.
I've worked at multiple of the FAANG. Everyone acknowledges they study for the interview. You may occasionally get someone trying to make out they could pass without study but even then they acknowledged they studied. This isn't something to be arrogant about. It's a process designed to filter out those who'd refuse to study to get the job. You have to study. Doesn't matter if you have a PhD and write books on CS. Study. Don't be a dick about this fact. Complain in HN about a process that filters out those who can't/don't study if you want but if you're going for the job study. This is rather straightforward to the point the recruiter taking you through the pipeline will explain this in detail.
I usually use my adblocker to simply remove fixed headers. Hopefully there isn't anything critically important in that thing, because whatever's up there just isn't going to be seen. They're far too distracting.

Why my bittersweet relationship with Shein had to end
I do understand that there is much more flexibility of content to be hosted on Substack. It is, as it were, a OneNote page that can have access charged for. Pretty nice!

What I don't understand is...how do I get a PDF / talk authors who take this path into making one?

When the book was being authored, the True Blue subscribers could get a PDF when the book was done.

Can I do that now? If I pay $300, do I get a PDF still? Or has that opportunity passed, and in order to have an offline copy, do I need to subscribe and scrape all the content for my personal archive?

Like TFA states, one day Mr. Sinofsky can decide to download his zip and close up shop, what happens to the rest of us who subscribed? Our interesting nerd / business running / retro windows insider war stories archive goes poof.

I like this information. I want to 'own' it forever if only to review it and learn its lessons over and over during my career. I don't want to make unauthorized copies, but I can't actually buy this, I can only rent it, and that's a bummer.

So. I'm not subscribing nor am I scraping it. I just look at it regretfully from the distance of a free viewer.

Edit: less flamey mode
A PDF file is a program for a virtual machine that draws characters. For instance, I believe fonts in PDF work like PostScript fonts, where (for left-to-right languages) each glyph in the font is actually a bytecode function that starts with the brush in the lower-left corner of where the glyph is to be drawn, draws the glyph, and leaves the brush at the lower-left corner of where the next glyph is to be drawn. I think it's somewhat similar to turtle graphics, if you're familiar with Logo programming or G-code if you've ever hand-coded a CNC mill. (PostScript is text instead of bytecode. PDF is an odd mix of a binary and text format, which helps explain why it has had so many parsing security vulnerabilities over the years.)

For common cases, it may be possible to basically decompile the PDF, modify the text, and re-flow the text, and re-compile to bytecode. However, it's very complicated to do in the general case. (Note that in HTML, the browser determines how to best layout the text, but with PDF, the PDF generator makes the layout decisions.)

Also, many PDF renderers will "compress" fonts by lazily building up an embedded font as glyphs are used in the document. These typically will assign "a" to the first glyph used "b" to the second, etc., so if you decompile "This is some text", you'll see "abcd cd defg hgih". Some PDF generators will helpfully annotate the generated text with "backing text" metadata to help screen readers/copying-to-clipboard, but it's far from universal. So, you might need a database of hashes of all of the bytecode functions in a large number of fonts and/or some image-to-text software in order to reliably decompile the PDF.

If you're unable to copy text out of a PDF or you get gibberish when you copy text from the PDF, it's likely because the PDF lacks this "backing text" metadata (and in the gibberish case, likely a compressed embedded font). Some scanners will helpfully perform OCR to add this backing text metadata to the generated PDF.

Source: I did a small amount of work related to PDF analysis in Google's web search indexing pipeline over a decade ago. Most of my work was related to figuring out how JavaScript altered web page text, but I did learn just enough about PDF to be dangerous. At the time, Yahoo was Google's biggest competitor, and tons of their indexed PDFs had preview text that was this compressed font "abcd cd de..." garbage. Yahoo obviously naively decompiled the PDF and just trusted that "a" in the embedded font was a bytecode function that drew the glyph "a".

Defenestration as Ritual Punishment (2017)
I'm not sure any of this is accurate. 8 bit inference on a 4090 can do 660 Tflops and on an H100 can do 2 Pflops. Not to mention, there is no native support for FP8 (which are significantly better for deep learning) on existing CPUs.

The memory on a 4090 can serve extremely large models. Currently, int4 is started to become proven out. With 24GB of memory, you can serve 40 billion parameter models. That coupled with the fact that GPU memory bandwidth is significantly higher than CPU memory bandwidth means that CPUs should rarely ever be cheaper / lower latency than GPUs.

Show HN: A tool to de-identify using Stable Diffusion
Hey HN!

Really excited to share this new image de-identifier. Kind of like a game of image telephone, you can upload an image and our app will convert the image to a caption, then will generate an image using stable diffusion using the parameters you set for the model yourself.

We had so much fun making this and seeing the varying levels of scary generated images.
I've never heard "raw CSS" with that connotation. I've usually heard it used to point out that they're writing .css files that are getting directly referenced and aren't getting generated or compiled in a build pipeline, because CSS with extra tooling is so common (for good productivity reasons) these days.
LOL. That's insane. Is it one Zelle link, period? Or only to one bank (but you could link several accounts from that one back)?
Deliberate practice. You're a developer so you know how important it is to keep code short, tidy, and obvious. Keeping natural language explanations short, tidy, and obvious is equally important.
I hope I'm not getting downvoted into complete white on white for asking:
Is there a good resource to learn myself a little ML for greater good, if I'm a complete math idiot? Something very practical, start with {this} and build an image recognition to tell birds from dogs. Or start with {that} and build a algo trading machine that will make me a trillionaire.
I do have a 4090 in a windows machine which I can turn into a linux machine.
I assume the idea is that the initial impulse was in the right area, but the first attempt itself isn’t quite correct.

So you learned a bunch and therefore aren’t starting from scratch with the 2nd try.

I.e. you make some environmental tool and try to sell it to the government. You learn that the government is a byzantine mess. You then sell the tool as part of a service to the corporations causing the mess to prevent future lawsuits. You pivoted, but the tool itself still had value.
This reminds me of the main character in Along Came Polly who puts his new girlfriend and ex-wife into a Risk Assessment tool to decide who he should stay with :D. Naturally, it doesn’t go well once the girlfriend discovers it!

I'll take a look after work and edit this post in the evening or morning. I followed the laptop on conservative outlets and recall there were emails referring to 'the big man' or something, but it was too vague/tenuous for me to accept beyond a reasonable doubt as "China is paying Biden".

I also found lots of the 'evidence' against trump inconclusive, as did Mueller apparently.

My best techniques for evaluating character
With extreme poverty, you'd probably see some increase in crime. But I doubt you'll see social unrest, unless it's very specific, e.g. you cut off welfare to some ethnic group in the US, and it'll need some level of coordination behind it. I doubt the government will allow that kind of organization for a large scale issue where "the system" is at stake and it's not just some local racial riot.

How much should they pay the workers though? It's already stated that they are paid well above average wage in said country.
Hard disagree, honestly. A mining card might be undervolted, but it will always have lived under sustained VRAM temps of 80c+. That's awful for the lifespan of the GPU (even relative to bursty gaming workloads) and once the memory dies, it's game over for the card. Used GPUs are always a gamble, but mostly because it depends on how used they are. No matter how you slice it, a mining card is more likely to hit the bathtub curve than a gaming one.

Agggrrrr so much hate for these devices. I bought a Mini for my oldest kid and now, when I pick up my phone in my downstairs office, hold it near my mouth, and say "hey Siri set an alarm at 7am", the phone briefly shows the Siri vortex and then stops. And I find out at 7am when my sad and confused daughter is startled out of bed that her stupid HomePod upstairs on the opposite side the house picked up what must've been to it an almost inaudible command.
A few terminals (e.g. iTerm2) try to track the current command, presumably by looking at the children of the shell they spawn. This isn't much use when your current command is `ssh`.

It's not liberal democracy. It's not democracy as defined in the West.

It's the Chinese model of democracy, or what is known as "whole-process people's democracy."

And it works for the Chinese. That's the big takeaway.

That's why the Chinese regard China as the most democratic nation in the world, according to Latana's Democracy Perception Index 2022.
