To echo others, none of that seems unreasonable:

- There's a first time for everything, including management

- The facebook thing is a little weird, but if you had some software experience, and two years isn't THAT long ago, it may be worth a try. As much as everyone says you need perfectly crafted resumes, sometimes there's detailed information missing. People know your only human and capable of being a bit vague on a resume, or entertaining opportunities you didn't initially envision.

- As far as I understand, this isn't weird at all. It seems the culture at Amazon is to hop around teams, if desired... I think you only have to put in 18 months to be an "unrestricted free agent". I've been told that a big part of success at amazon is predicting the right time to leave doomed teams.
I wanted to love revealjs... but the "everything centered" approach seems to me low-effort and chaotic. Maybe a pleasure to author and render it, but hard to follow as a viewer the always position-changing content.
Strange, I've never had trouble with it on win10 + Linux. Maybe there's a (third party) driver that messes with the RTC for some reason that doesn't always activate?

Maybe I shouldn't be too surprised that Microsoft's support is broken.
Elbakyan - Why Stalin is a God (2019)
>The goal isn't to enshrine abuse of authority in governmental agencies, but to prevent nongovernmental agencies from abusing that authority.

I would much rather just whack the big players with antitrust law than give their power to some government agency. A worthless mission statement of some bureaucracy is just that, worthless. If said bureaucracy is using the same information Equifax is using to provide the same services the abuse potential is right there and it's probably only a matter of time until it starts getting used to screw whoever the outgroup of the minute is.
Probably off-topic, but I recently made the stupid decision of learning dvorak while I had to get some important work done.

I am currently at: 1) I don't type dvorak fast enough which really reduces my motivation, but I'm getting faster pretty quickly 2) My qwerty typing skills have gotten even worse, I look a bit stupid when I try to fix problems on other computers at ~15 WPM.

Generally I don't regret starting to type dvorak, I just wish I had done it another time where typing slowly doesn't affect me as much.
Aversive Personality and Covid-19 (2021)
For any graphic intensive application it would be obviously be necessary to use a GPU.

But for quick hacking / porting old demos / writing emulators and also text based UI it can be fast enough.

With the added benefit of small footprint, high compatibility and fast startup time.

The Lite editor https://github.com/rxi/lite is using pure software rendering (on top of SDL) in a rather naïve fashion but it still renders full 32bit colors at full resolution at more than 60FPS on my computer, not the best solution but still surprisingly fast given the simplicity of the renderer.

This is typically a case where simple/naïve can beat a juggernaut like Electron.
This is a pointless argument for hundreds of millions of iPhone users that cannot exercise their right to free market.
Will it even be possible to mark what gets generated from AI?
Why would it?

"It allows the recipient to know whether the email was written in the morning or the evening."

I guess sure, you could write it in the morning then send it in the evening. Most people write and send at the same time, and thus most headers have the stamp of the time it was written.
You definitely get used to it. Having lived in both places, it's not really a big deal.

For me, living in Texas, I would assume the final price is 10% more than the sticker price calculation. When I was buying groceries, this generally meant I was always "under" my estimate because most food isn't taxable in Texas. But I was never surprised by the final total at the register. At restaurants I assumed 20-25% depending on what the numbers were.

Now that I live in Europe, I don't even notice. They tell me the total, I pay. End of story.
I don't think it is collusion, but I do think it is an emergent shared strategy. Take advantage of more urgent layoffs at Facebook to flood the market with talent, push down wages for new hires, and set a new baseline for industry-wide compensation that lets you depress ongoing compensation for your existing employees. And do this without irrecoverable damage to your business capabilities by only firing 5-10% of the company.

Well on trackpads. Their mice actually do still have a switch. Also Apple's definition of "off" these days keeps the trackpad and keyboard alive so you can click or press a key to turn it on. Why? I have no idea and it makes doing things like cleaning the keyboard really annoying.
Have some metrics, but don't make it obvious that the org must max this or that metric, or that x level must be reached. If you do that, the genie will find an ironic way for you to reach the targets without satisfying anyone.

Add autonomy and judgement for the managers, along with a battery of metrics that aren't binding.

Everyone will see that it doesn't help to sign up loads of customers while having loads of complaints coming through the helpdesk, or having loads of extra helpdesk staff with no sales. Where the balance goes is judgement.

Success is one of those nebulous things that can't be described sharply, but people often have an idea of how things are going anyway.
I mean ... practically anything is grounds for taking offense in America. Americans are like people who were suddenly told they're allowed to be offended, and now they're on a binge of being offended by everything. I probably wouldn't yell "hey kid" to my waiter at the Waffle House (or maybe I would, if I felt like I liked the kid). But "chico" is a term of endearment. I've never heard it said without some sweetness and tenderness... it doesn't sound the same as "hey kid" delivered in a derogatory way.

You can put markdown into git and see diffs of it as it changes. This is easier with a text format than with PDF.

On top of that you can just concentrate on the content because how it gets shown is mainly handled by the system not you. There might be less freedom but you are freed from burden too.
> There is so much stuffing for a simple idea that I'm not sure if this piece deserves its own title, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Frankly I had the same thought writing it :D

It's more of a stake in the ground sort of a thing I guess?
What I really want is somebody saying "hey, there is an open standard already here" so I can use it.
Thanks! Tbh, I guess my job (independent publisher, almost a decade going on) is relatively safe. Generative IAs are the next step of today's industrial scale content output, a race (to the bottom) that I long abandoned to focus on community building and opinion — two domains that IAs can't match yet.

Anyway, I predict some collateral damages do my business. Not enough to sink it, but yet. To ben seen.
That refers to simple KYC "such as your legal name, date of birth, or government ID."

OP complained about "your bank account numbers, entire transaction history, financial data, and contact info." Normal KYC does not include all this.
Firefox is almost no where to be found and hardly has anything to bring to fight against Chrome [0]. In fact, Mozilla is on life support with Google's money with the Mozilla CEO being the one laughing all the way to the bank as Firefox continues to be irrelevant.

Safari (WebKit) is the only one competing against the Chrome ecosystem, especially on mobile devices market. The EU Digital Markets Act will just declare Chrome the winner and will increase Chrome's dominance and will make Mozilla even more irrelevant.

I think that the idea of passwords has shifted over time.

Today we are using more and more accounts, almost every website or service seems to require an account for something. It's impossible to remember strong unique passwords for 300 different websites. Anyone with that many accounts who isn't using a password management system is almost guaranteed to be re-using the same passwords or patterns.

Data breaches have also become more common and accessible to bad actors, to the point a script kiddie or hacker could look up your email, see much of your old passwords, and use that to help bruteforce your current password for some important account.

Password management defends against this by allowing you to use random meaningless passwords for each website without needing to remember each one. There is no more human element in picking your password, and your old passwords become useless for any would-be intruders.
Majority of it is burned, as always.
The question wasn't answered.

That is a really bad translation from ChatGPT to arabic.
>Given that Apple just issued another security update for the decade old iPhone 5s, your ability to hand down an iPhone is greatly extended, especially compared to the support policy you get with a bottom of the barrel Android device.

I think this is a fair point in favour of Apple, but I would be surprised if many people who are weighing up hand-me-downs vs cheapest models are concerned with security updates
The double-space after the period is good when using a monospaced typewriter, because for readability there should be more space between sentences than between words (not twice as much, but that's the best you can do with a typewriter unless it has a half-space.)

Now that most writing is done on word processors that use proportional fonts and manage the spacing themselves, it's no longer called for.
Citizen cartography is cool and fun and would be far more popular if people believed they weren’t just feeding a corporation’s profit.

I believe that public participation in open source GIS datasets is only limited by UX. The author framing this as “a side quest while you walk” is on to something.
It probably lends itself to tasks where CPU time is much greater than network round trip. Maybe scientific problems that massively parallel. Way back in the 90s I worked with plasma physics guys that used a parallel system on "slow" Sun boxes. I can't remember the name of the software though.
I agree with others that you should not introduce a rating system or suggest giving to charity. If no one complains about an employee and you don't notice anything bad, then just take that to be a rating of "satisfactory".
I couldn't resist the metaphor of the "Organic" origin, as produced by wet brain instead of silicon.
He is pretty active on Twitter, so short form content is nothing new for him.

Maybe he’s trying out if he can use his blog for short form too, since Twitter is going down a new / strange? path.
Frankly, LeetCode itself has pretty good guides on all of the information, that then use the problems as the "quiz". I found a pro subscription for a few months to be pretty worthwhile.

City centers are already viable places to live without a car.

Unless the US had a waaay higher population density, we would have a hard time arriving at another system.

likely heading into recession

People have been saying this for a year at this point and we've seen temporary GDP losses turn around and become GDP growth above expectations. Inflation numbers have been basically at target for the past six months. I'm not so sure that a recession is so inevitable at this point.

Your argument boils down to, I don't care about your problems, and they don't bother me, so they are wrong.
I've yet to find an original idea from it. It can help with the process of brainstorming.
In reality there aren't too few people. There are too few people for the specific state of the economy. This was already predictable years ago because the boomers where the last gen before widespread birth control.

But it is the economies that need to adapt, not demographics.

How to Get New Ideas

January 2023

(Someone fed my essays into GPT to make something that could answer questions based on them, then asked it where good ideas come from. The answer was ok, but not what I would have said. So I asked: What would I have said?)

The way to get new ideas is to notice anomalies: what seems strange, or missing, or broken? You can see anomalies in everyday life (much of standup comedy is based on this), but the best place to look for them is at the frontiers of knowledge. Knowledge grows fractally. From a distance its edges look smooth, but when you learn enough to get close to one, you'll notice it's full of gaps. These gaps will seem obvious; it will seem inexplicable that no one has tried x or wondered about y. In the best case, exploring such gaps yields whole new fractal buds.

Lost generations: The demographic impact of the Great War
Huge problem is that restaurant owners are usually extremely bad at economics. They think that defaulting to 22% tip (in addition to increasing prices by 50%) will sustain them. In reality many customers avoid sit down restaurants purely because of this.
I've bought a few online businesses; and when doing so - we of course transfer various online accounts.

Once, I was given the primary Google account and as I was going through and updating security items on that account I discovered the previous owner had been using Google's password feature and I could login to a whole slew of his personal accounts (Not just the "Login with Google" ones). Of course, I just deleted all those - but the risk of centralization was certainly highlighted in that moment.
I love it. Localise and externalise the harm! Just hope the poor souls who have to work in lithium extracing and refining are paid well.
Ok it's most likely slightly slower, but not enough that it matters. Frame latency might actually be lower though if the result doesn't need to go through a swapchain AND the window system composer.
I really liked the length of this “essay”.
everyone was cheering, it was boom times. The reality is that Putin's war reset the table, and set the entire world down a different path. These lay offs - as tough as they are for the individuals concerned - are a part of that pivot

> One of my favorite products is “100% Fat-Free Pickled Cucumbers Fit (Gluten Free), “ which I once saw at the grocery store.

On my first fligh to the US, in the 90's, a rather obese lady in the row in front of me asked the flight attendant: "Excuse me. Do you have fat-free water?"

The flight attendant hesitated a split second, her face not moving an inch. Then she smiled and replied: "We certainly have fat-free water, madam. I fetch you a bottle straight away."
The boomers were the boomers because contraception wasn't widely spread. At some point almost every country will need to go through this transition.
I understand that fear and that is probably the reason, but why not just put a warning at the beginning and not post it on the kids profile?
I think people underestimate the importance of physical cash. It’s annoying, sure, but it affords a type of freedom that won’t be replaced once lost. I wish more people understood this. Sadly, most people seem willing to trade a tiny bit of convenience today for a worse future tomorrow—for example, the tipless, cash-only coffee shop on the HN front page. I guess, like smokers, people don’t believe there’ll be consequences until it’s too late.
Do you remember how many Watts it was using with idle disks?
Why is it not someone’s fault when they get addicted after choosing to do a known-addictive substance? “Not their fault” certainly doesn’t describe all addicts.

I think it's important to note what the authors left out: although they dubbed it "white gold" in the article, on Earth lithium is 5000 times more prevalent than gold by ppm.
As the other comment said, it's more likely that they get burned.

I think it happened that due to waste reduction, "normal" garbage is sometimes not enough to keep the furnaces running, so they take recyclable material from the yellow bags and burn it, to keep the temperatures stable...
So where’s the line? In the age of modernized hyper-optimal statistical inferencing and ai techniques, is the solution always to abstain? Seems the end result of this must be some sort of Luddism.

GPT-3 is a very smart tool, using it on top of Excel and Sheets should help save time.

This article talks about using GPT-3 (using my AI tool) to do your routine tasks on Google Sheets and Excel. Such as extracting data, finding duplicates and so on.

I am open to feedback.
The examples provided are not that convincing. Especially the two headlines. Yes they are similar because there are a limited number of ways to ask "Can You Buy a Gift Card With a Credit Card?". Should the topic be off limit now that it's been written about? Take the code equivalent of asking 100 people to write a function in secret that takes 2 ints and returns a sum. I suspect a number of those code blocks will be "plagiarized" from each other too.
Nothing official yet but there are some fresh reports -:

I have a friend in Germany who gives up smoking for the entirety of Lent. It always seemed so stupid to me, since if I could have given up for that long, I wouldn't have gone back. I was a smoker for many decades who gave up three months ago, and feel kind of cheated by how easy it was and how little I miss it (wish I had done it far, far earlier).
mysql 8.0.28 on 64-bit platforms support timestamps up to the year 3001, if I'm reading it right[1]. But it's still mind-boggling someone would write a database that would crash in 2038.

I have to agree with you there. I don’t have evidence, so it’s a bit of a conspiracy theory, but something is off.
Statcounter has no chance to see my Firefox browsers on Linux and Android, because of uBlock Origin and Blockada.

Maybe they don't see as many Chrome browsers too, in percent. Maybe Firefox users are not the ones who block more tracking, who knows.

One more, a reliable attempt at making sense of sources, started during COVID but now broader:

https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/

Who am I?

My name is Dr. Katelyn Jetelina. I have a Masters in Public Health and PhD in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I am an epidemiologist, data scientist, wife, and mom to two little girls.

During the day I work at a nonpartisan health policy think tank and am a senior scientific consultant to a number of organizations, including the CDC.

At night I write this newsletter. My main goal is to “translate” the ever-evolving public health science so that people will be well equipped to make evidence-based decisions. This newsletter started in March 2020 to update students, faculty, and staff on the developments of the pandemic. In 36 months, it’s grown to an international audience.

What is this?

The purpose of this newsletter is to provide a direct line of “translated” public health science to the local, national, and international community. Over the past two years, I’ve covered COVID-19 topics ranging from variants, to vaccines and booster roll outs, to exciting new developments like antivirals, and context to some of our greatest unanswered questions.

YLE has also started to dip into other public health topics, like mental health, other infectious diseases, and public health current events (thanks to the feedback from the YLE audience).

My hope is that, together, YLE provides breadth and depth into the pandemic, epidemiology, and public health overall. Public health touches all of our lives, even outside of a pandemic.
Some users would like to, for example, dismiss the beg banner on Wikipedia and have it stay gone.

I agree Heinlein wrote one-dimensional characters; the male heroes were idealised versions of himself and the women were objects of wish-fulfillment.

Pohl wrote pretty well in my opinion. The psycho-therapeutic aspect of Gateway is brilliant for the sci fi of that era.

Plenty of sci fi authors wrote characters comparably with PKD, such as Zelazny, Le Guin, and Bester.

Yup. I used to feed in to Google Maps back when it launched that feature. But I slowly realised that I was only enriching someone else.
I'm currently doing so. I'm pretty early in the process, and I've had a great experience thus far: quick replies, nice challenge (it was actually a challenge for me because I haven't touched the relevant language/framework in many years), and I generally appreciate these sort of interviews (I know I'm an outlier; unpaid work isn't a huge deal for me).

Out of curiosity, what did they send you, and what do you find weird/off about the process? It's definitely not the norm [0] but isn't it better than spending a bunch of time working through back-and-forths in "normal" hiring pipelines?
