I worked for company that forced everyone to use their vacation every quarter (right after Covid hit and revenue dropped)

Meanwhile they remodeled some executive offices.
Was that in the original 3 books? I don't remember that...
Encrypted with shared keys. This wasn’t accurately described in the comment you’re replying to: iMessage is fully E2E but the offload feature which allows you to save space on your phone wasn’t. That helps in the lost phone scenario but not if you’re worried about subpoenas under a hostile government.

Prior to the recent advanced protection program, you could avoid that by not enabling backup for messages. Now you can choose whether data recovery is more important than E2E to you.

Well, some day you may be interested in a job that involves working on pretty cars.
Is that an interesting reason?
Did I miss something, or was this explained in one of the preceding series (I think I only missed Empire)?
Kind of ironic also that law and order was the place to get your start in acting in NY. There are so many famous actors that had an early role in the show.
something.. something... arms race

150kW+ is also super expensive. Charging Enyaq iv80 on Ionity in France and Italy for 0,79EUR/kWh for 1 hour so I can go 2 hours at 130km/h on highway to another Ionity charger.

You can also try the slower charger, but it is really hit or miss regarding compatibility with your car. Yes, everything has CCS, but what's the point when you can't start charging session because there is some software incompatibility. Happened to me repeatedly.
You’ll laugh but bear with me,

Meta recruiter just reached out to me this week, so even parts of Facebook are hiring, and my relevant skill set. Of course I don’t care about VR goggles, but you just had large layoffs, why would I work for you? (Plus ok Zuck is ruining your core business, but that aside)

Layoffs hurt inside and outside too.
I'm open to correction but I believe this is used in the Cosmopolitan library.
Imo these tech layoffs is one of the best examples of McNamara fallacy I’ve seen in a while - exchange easily measurable monetary gain for poorly measured loss of productivity/morale across the board
Give bonuses to that 1% of SWE's then (pretty sure Google does this)
Ah yeah, there are still cultivars of the old breeds, but the problem is that without new breeds being created, we are not combatting the challenges of climate change and diseases changing.
This is exactly how most books make it in the times list now a days too
"panic-selling" seems like a ridiculous term to apply to someone who just lost their job and needs to liquidate assets to pay bills.
This is all Stockholm syndrome. Git has a lot of random accidental complexity, from reset and checkout doing too many things (yes I'm aware of switch and restore), to stacks being a pain to work with. The idea that you're supposed to just be in the middle of an interactive rebase most of the time is mind-boggling.

A better thing to say is "yeah we've been saddled with this horrible tool, yeah we know it sucks, but it'll suck a bit less when you learn it. Oh and sorry if you're not a professional developer and have to use git, I hope we can do better next time."
What are negative weights good for?
Even if salaries get cut significantly, they might only drop to pre-2020 levels.

The job market was insane in 2021. New grads getting stock comp that used to be reserved for senior engineers. Constant emails from recruiters. Nobody seemed to have only one offer when they negotiated their comp.

Companies all thought they would miss out on talent and growth if they didn’t participate in this, and most did participate. It was a job market bubble, driven by low interest rates and naive optimism caused by inflated stock prices. More people should have seen it for what it was. Some companies didn’t let themselves go crazy, and they aren’t the ones doing layoffs.

What we are seeing now is a reversion to how things were before.
Interesting that they prefer dual stack to tunnel. I would have thought running your own 6to4 at the network edge would have been more preferential.
Show HN: Cross-platform network analyser developed in Rust
In the past months I developed an open source, cross-platform application to help people monitor their personal Internet traffic.

The application is thought to be easy-to-use and therefore can be used even if you don't have a strong networking experience.

I'm currently maintaining the project, implementing new features such as geolocation of the addresses, customisable notifications to alert the user when specific events occur and a deeper inspection page to retrieve more details about each connection.

The whole application, including the GUI, is developed using the Rust language.

If you have any consideration, I'd be glad to hear feedbacks about the app or suggestions for new features.

Feel free to open an issue on GitHub or drop a comment here!
Oh man I love that description! It makes me think how exercise is like a contest against physical limits, which are knowable. Hard work leads to heavier lifts or longer runs. But when you kick your own ass in meditation, the limits are more ambiguous and progress isn't so linear.

With non-timeline based, tweets can be deleted / edited, some algorithm decides what each viewer sees (and it might be / will be different per viewer!) - yeah, that's plausible. I've never been a huge fan of dynamic history.
Aren't these comments getting a bit old at this point? Running dual-stack should not be any more difficult than just running IPv4. There is a plethora of automated deployment tools and I'd hardly think people are DHCP'ng addresses to their servers. You don't have to use SLAAC and can statically assign addresses just like IPv4. Even for your dual stacked devices getting IPv6 addresses via RA can be tracked back to their IPv4 DHCP bootp requests.

I'm making the assumption here that anyone concerned about their network attack surface is actively capturing network or netflow data in which tools like openargus[1] or Arkime[2] make all of this collectable/searchable. Additionally most network devices support mirror/monitoring to offload data if you aren't working on the scale of needed dedicated taps/aggregators.

I don't think this changes the point, which is, "If I moderate a forum--even for free--what is my exposure to liability from things people post to that forum?"
Only if you launch the Steam version of the game.
could have done without the editorial critique as well.
Derivative works are their own things (when sufficiently derivative). And AIs are not humans - using an algorithm does not automatically remove the copyright. See also "I uploaded a movie to youtube but it's upside down, why did it get taken down".
Wow - I'd always assumed it was US-based for some reason (maybe because its articles get referred to on HN so frequently!).
That paper is interesting but it doesn't necessarily work better. I have OpenAI vectors for about 250k podcast episode descriptions and just searching "pyramids" works about the same as asking GPT to write 500 words about pyramids and then doing vector search against that essay. So worth testing out, but not guaranteed better
Got laid off in 2017 and never got a real job again. (I have a UX background)

1. I immediately went to Spain to do the Camino de Santiago. Was learning building web apps (Meteor) and launchd a full landing page / swing dance registration site while on the Camino.

2. Learned React and a few other tools after that, tried to be a consultant for a year. Then tried to launch a bunch of projects ("startups" if you wanted to be generous with that term)

3. Met my partner (and now cofounder) at a swing dance, who showed me microbiology and "the potential of phage therapy" because doctors weren't getting access to it

4. I created a random side project connecting docs with phage labs with her (now six years ago). We started connecting docs and labs, and have since taken on 40+ cases, and successfully treated two. Last year we moved to Sydney to essentially run a translational microbiology lab / phage therapy clinical trial — she's the microbiologist and I'm the research software engineer. We're just treating our 4th patient now. I'm building data collection tools for our bioinformaticians, doctors/nurses and microbiology lab, and trying to scale this project up using automation tools and robots. We're creating reports for the TGA to make sure our preps are safe. There's lots of work in areas I've never deal with (data science, stats, building full stack web apps, dealing with OpenTrons, REDCap, and a billion other tools).

It doesn't pay nearly as much as tech, but it's the most absurd thing I could ever do as a "UX designer"
Why do you think that reducing salaries has nothing to do with profitability?

Why is keeping salary in check valued? Simply for the sake of cruelty?
The US has tons of money saved up to handle nuclear waste, all reactor operators have been paying for 5+ decades, but because of grid lock the money is just pilling up. Instead of making constructive policy the idiots dead-locked themselves with this idiocy at Yucca Mountain.

And there has never been a real program to systematically use the civilian nuclear waste. This was of course planned but the program was stopped in the general anti-nuclear attitude of the 70s. This program would have lead to a huge amount of green energy and a reduction in the nuclear waste.

And the uranium mining would be much less of an issue if we had modern reactors. We are operating at 2% efficiency, a thermal breeder could reach high 90%s. The existing civilian nuclear waste could be enough for a long time. No more mining. And thorium is a waste product of current rare earth mining in absurd quantities. So really any more mining that we do is just because of bad policy.

And when talking about mining, the reality is solar and wind need far, far more mining and those mins have tailings too.

> Fission gets billions of dollars of free public money for research every year and had much more spent in the past.

And nuclear was excluded from almost all green energy subsidies for decades a far larger number in total. Even more important the changes in the grid pricing basically simply did not favor long term base-load investments. Not to mention all the programs that force utilities to adopt a % of renewables.

And even today, the places that have stable reactors have low electricity prices because of long term price agreements while everybody else is suffering.

France had decades of low energy prices and even today most in France have low energy prices. And the cost of that was mostly on the books of the utility and has been paid down for many decades now even with the low energy prices.

France has sadly mismanaged its fleet for the last 30 years, with the anti-nuclear state abusing the amazing systems the generation before built for them. And despite all of that abuse and lack of maintenance and investment France still has reliable, low price, green energy.
And here I was getting excited. If it is the major discovery I'm thinking of from a few years ago, it was interesting, but I don't know if it qualifies as major.
Thinking with System Design
I like your analogy because it outlines the flaw of GIT: we have to "fix bugs" in its UX so we can get our job done with it. :\

Also yeah, I agree learning GIT is not a huge sacrifice but with time I built a huge internal resistance against it so... dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe I'll get to it one day, in the meantime I am OK relearning cherry-pick and a few others every time I need them. I don't know, it just doesn't make sense to me. Guess to this day I don't see why it had to be a graph DB.
I haven't read enough by Posner to develop a clear opinion; I'm pretty liberal and deeply skeptical of anyone/anything closely associated with the University of Chicago.

However, Posner's evisceration of Malcolm Gladwell's Blink is masterful and I re-read it every couple years for sheer joy: https://newrepublic.com/article/68000/blinkered
The title is literally the opposite of what the tweet is saying.

> Now a hint of recession = excuse to break promises/reestablish dominance over workers. It's not about $

The claim is that this isn't about keeping salaries in check; it's about keeping working conditions in check.
Why has competition fallen? Is it simply due to an increase in supply?
I would argue that if you needed n number of functions, where n is unknown, or n cannot be set to a reasonable number that can handle traffic, and cold starts are unacceptable, you would be using the wrong bit of infrastructure.
Also true, and I agree. As mentioned in a sibling comment, with time I kind of started loathing the idea of learning GIT's internals so here we are. We'll see, these things tend to fall away with time.
Sorry, been a lurker too long. Added my email address to my profile. Also shot you an email to connect.
agree, it’s misleading
You're not alone. Git is an embarrassment to our profession.
UBI is something that the rich people are starting to need.

Because poor people are sucked dry now so they need injection of fresh money so they can be sucked further by the rich.
I was thinking of asking in the comments if a single film could be mixed. So thanks for mentioning this. Though I will say I didn’t notice in Avatar!
Does anyone have a good alternative to Privacy.com where your virtual credit card transaction data isn't sold to Wall Street? If you're unfamiliar with what a "virtual [credit] card" is here's the page from Privacy.com's website: https://privacy.com/virtual-card I use the Privacy app on my mobile phone to create virtual cards (primarily for work subscriptions). Pro-tip: since each Privacy card can have its own name put a tag such as `[WORK_RECURRING]` into the card name and then you can search your email inbox for `[WORK_RECURRING]`, quickly and easily finding all of the transactions / charges that you may want to submit to your workplace for reimbursement.

Privacy is owned / created by Lithic, but if you look at Lithic's investors you'll see that the plurality of the company's investors are in the private equity or VC space: Bessemer Ventures, Tusk Partner Ventures, Index Ventures, etc. You can see the Privacy.com / Privacy mobile app's funders here:
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/lithic-pay

Thus, I have no doubt that my transactions on cleverly-named Privacy app are being gifted or sold to Wall Street so that hedge funds can squeeze out a few addition drops of 'signal' from consumer purchase pattern data that would otherwise remain dark. (I'd imagine that many folks use the Privacy app to buy things that they'd rather not have show up on their regular credit card bills: 'adult websites', marijuana or tobacco products, etc.

So, two questions:

(1) Does anyone have a privacy-respecting alternative to Privacy.com's virtual credit cards?

(2) Does anyone know of a recent blog post where these virtual credit card services are compared / contrasted by

- the services that they offer,
- the cost: free, paid, etc.,
- the terms of service: how your data is re-sold / who your data is transmitted to
Do AIs Need Bodies?
My musings on the body-mind conundrum and how it might play out for AGI.
Context from the book: bringing on new workers has a one time cost of bringing them up to speed and an ongoing cost in synchronization / communications complexity. General consensus, try to assign the optimal number of humans to as specific a task as possible and shard / divide and conqueror the tasks to minimize the headcount per task.
Serious question: I don't follow what you mean by payments on equity? Google doesn't pay dividends it appears:

https://www.dividend.com/stocks/communications/media/interne...

It's a pure growth stock right? I thought any initial investors exit during the IPO.
Exactly. The fake (hypothetical) answer is usually longer than the question and often contains words that match the real answer even when the domain of question and answer is different ie “how to get out of jail?” asked in the context of monopoly game and the hypothetical answer is in the context of a real jail. It sounds stupid but it works and is super easy to implement.
I think I have thorough advise for you but I prefer to give it in private. Can you contact us at morphle at ziggo dot nl?
Which novel is that from? It's been some years since I read any of Asimov's books, but the way I remember it is this:

In the Robot novels, the overwhelming majority of humans live on Earth in mega cities (caves of steel) with relatively few robots, and a small minority of humans live on a few dozen (50 or so) other worlds in highly roboticized societies. These humans call themselves Spacers and have very xenophobic inward cultures. In the extreme cases, exemplified by Solaris, they shun contact even with other Spacers from their own planet and surround themselves entirely with robots.

Eventually the human majority leaves Earth, because a robot following the Zeroth Law decides to irradiate Earth to force humanity to spread out in the galaxy. The humans from Earth don't take many if any robots with them and rapidly overtake robot-centric Spacer culture, which is all but forgotten (as are robots). The massive galactic human population of the Empire novels are the descendants of the humans that left Earth later, not the Spacers.
What would be the advantages of running 6to4 on your network edge?
wow. as someone who is debating resigning tomorrow this really hits close to home. thank you for this.
This is, for lack of a better term, "capitalist brain rot". It may even be "American brain rot". I don't mean this in a disparaging way to you, individually, by the way.

Myth #1: Most people believe they're "above average". In your post you talk about cutting the "bottom 10%". You feel comfortable with that because you likely believe you're not one of th ebottom 10%. It's yet another example of how true the Steinbeck quote [1] is about Americans being "temporarily embarrassed millionaires".

Myth #2: These layoffs are targeting "low performers". This is a myth for two reasons. First, it implies the myth of meritocracy. There are so many ways that meritocracy is a lie. The second way is that the company won't be targeting the bottom 10%. They will basically pick names from a spreadsheet, save anyone leaders vouch for, possibly skew layoffs towards projects getting killed at the same time and look at the demographics of the layoff group to make sure it can't be perceived as discriminating against a particular class such that the company might open itself up to litigation for discrimination.

These layoffs really are the worst kind of virtue signaling.

People seem to be assuming that only malloc'ed memory is relevant. At least for Fortran, you want to allocate arrays on the stack (gfortran -fstack-arrays).

Apart from using larger/huge pages, you may want to take steps to minimize TLB misses. The Goto BLAS paper talks about that.
I've thought about something similar for spam calls: I can play whack-a-mole blocking individual numbers, but it won't scale fast enough and scammers will always get to me. I can rely on iphone's "scam likely" notification and just not answer those, which helps.

If the latter (and whatever similar feature android has) were somehow perfect, scammers would have a bad time. But.. if they convinced (paid) some (more-)legitimate companies to have their outgoing calls show up as the same number as the scammers use, people would eventually learn that they have to pick up scam calls or else miss calls from their bank/pharmacy/whatever.
> A perpetually inverted pyramid would require that fertility rate shrink even further, until it approaches 0 - do we have a reason to believe this will happen?

Any fertility rate that's below replacement maintains an inverted pyramid, if you don't have a lot of death before old age. (Until the very last person dies, in a long long long time).

Each person in the current breeding population produces fewer people in the next breeding population; this produces an inverted pyramid.

> And there are trivial ways to keep fertility at replacement level and not negative, on par with most other 1st-world countries.

No country that has fallen into population decline has found these "trivial ways" in modern times. (Not sure what you mean here by "negative")
It's funny to see the cover design degrade over time. The 1970 design is lovely

I don't have analysis but I expect rents and mortgages will just go up by the amount of UBI. The rest of the economy will get scraps.
That's not at all what I got from this.

Ipv4 security guidelines do not look much different.

TLdr: be aware of the differences and prefer ipv6-only instead of dual stack if you can, to reduce complexity.
I was watching through the Marvel movies just to catch up. Mostly I was surfing on my phone at the same time, as they're not that engaging. At one point during Winter Soldier though I caught myself having put down the phone and was sitting on the edge of my sofa, fully engaged in the action scene with an elevated heart rate.

Some time later I saw the "Stuntmen React" where they went through the scene, and it suddenly all made sense: that whole scene, the chase/fight on the overpass, was almost entirely practical stunts.
Can any of the AIs come up with the Fosbury flop? It sounds vaguely like AlphaGo can.

If so, we should celebrate, panic, or do both.

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

Most of human "progress" has been done by a few, with the rest of us finishing up the details (if that). Is a goal of AI to enhance those few, or to take over for the rest of us?
That's interesting, I recently had a discussion about how Japan has a bit of a tendency to hang on to fashion for much longer, but applied to music. Like certain styles of metal being popular after decline in the west, 90s Animes with soundtracks that sounded like 80s AOR/R&B, or even 80s-pointy-guitars being used by Japanese indie bands.

And not in a bad way, but more in a "fashion isn't as fleeting in Japan". Also it seems that the new and the old are able to coexist in the mainstream there, more than in the West. But that's of course just an impression, I might be wrong.
In that case you're almost completely screwed... but you would want to know sooner rather than later, right?
At a tech company that did this, the best people would leave. The remaining people would be the ones who are below average, or the ones who can’t risk a job loss because of visa issues.

What Google is doing now is clearly not great for morale either, but universal compensation cuts would be worse.

Yes, we all know it has some rough edges and could be more convenient. Unless someone actually makes that idyllic more convenient tool and it becomes widespread, none of that matters. We're stuck with the hammer that everyone else is using. No sense refusing to learn how to use it just because you're stubborn, everyone else managed just fine.
