Elm on the frontend, Elixir on the backend.

Elm because then you can mostly ignore JS et. al. You can hire a normal person (anyone who can solve Sudoku puzzles) and train them up to make working web UI in a week or two. Elm makes that possible. It's like what if you could start a professional bakery with just an Easy-Bake Oven.

Elixir because it's more approachable than Erlang. Erlang (the BEAM & OTP) because it's much closer to the domain (if you're making a complex interactive multi-user kind of a thing, eh? If not then it doesn't really matter what backend stack you use.)
Make a mouse cartoon in the style of Disney and tell me how well that goes down.

Presumably answered when they were hired to the board?
A lot of this is sourced in the 2021-2022 job seekers market, when everybody and his brother could get a job. There were hiring sprees not because there was an obvious need for a/that particular level of skills and experience, but because there were a lot of companies thinking "if we don't get this guy/gal now, someone else, maybe even a competitor, may". I've witnessed it especially in the blockchain/web3/cryptoBS areas. I know of a company which had a target of min 25 hires/week, and kept that pace for three-four months. When I tried to insert a cost analysis process in their Infra organization, part of an operational model meant to get them to a more mature level than forever startup, I was told that "money was no object", so I should focus my advice in other areas. Of course I left them, soon thereafter, and now I see them in the news, alongside all others, letting people go. Oh, well...
Does Nostr have a Wikipedia page? I'm wondering how old is it, the people behind it, some stories?
There is so much stupidity in the process they describe, I have no faith it will be fixed. a manual daily DR test that clearly wasn't followed by a test or checklist or double checked by another person, and leaving the DR up broke prod?? literally none of those things should have happened.

I know the world is held together with duct tape, but it's embarrassing when you see the tape fall off.
- SvelteKit (TypeScript/Sass) for front-end

Lets give some good companies credit, they value their employees more. They would hold out for at least a dollar before killing you.
The purpose of a state is not to bring in foreigners to replace the native population. It even rises to a low level UN definition of genocide when the native population is not allowed to express its disapproval of that policy.
I consider these things table stakes when choosing a job.
The next problem will be the cost/expense of maintaining and operating an inorganic AI with even a rudimentary hint of "intelligence".

Personally, I think it would probably be easier, cheaper and more practical to just grow synthetic humans in a lab --- i.e. Bladerunner. "Intelligent" right out of the box and already physically adapted to a humanistic world.
The smart companies are going to be using these layoff opportunities to hire good people.
I'm not interested in getting into an identity politics argument about who identifies as a journalist, who identifies as a woman, or who identifies as an attack helicopter. If David Gerard wants to be called a "journalist", that's fine, he's a journalist. But he's also a crank who will spin any story to support his narrative. Even if tomorrow Bitcoin would somehow magically end world hunger, Gerard would find a way to make the argument that it's actually bad for humanity because hunger makes you strive for better things, or whatever.
An argument as old and frankly as tired as time itself:

Plato on reading and writing: "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them."
It is a little odd that they pulled the announcement page. But the repo is still available so who knows. Maybe they thought it would be poorly received by other employees after the layoffs? Seems like a stretch.
Thanks for sharing your story! It really is a shame that so many clinicians are so dismissive of patient health issues, limitations of existing treatments, and the utility of other treatment modalities-- I'm glad you've found some things that are helping. It's inspiring for my own health journey :)
> Nobody wants more advertising.

Seems plenty do given the number of influencers who have made it into basically a career. I in some way share your cynicism towards it, but there are plenty of jobs we don't "need" yet don't look down on in the same way. For all you know this guy's wife is spreading valuable information and genuinely helping people. Not all influencers are Andrew Tate and such. Hell my wife's cousin is big into legos and has a thriving instagram showing off their builds and talking about what goes in to them. Tons of hobbyists genuinely enjoy their insight. I don't see the harm.
what does "post extraction" refer to here exactly?
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned https://redwoodjs.com

Here's why I'd pick it:

1. One language for the whole stack. It's an MVP so the front and back are both changing fast, with changes made by the same person, and you don't want to context switch all the time.

1a. Javascript as that language because it's the most flexible. And with TypeScript you can gradually opt into type constraints where they help you.

2. An opinionated full stack like Ruby on Rails that integrates all the pieces I need to ship. When you assemble yourself, even small version bumps or outdated tutorials can send you down a rabbit hole, stealing time from testing PMF. You want someone to validate a combination in which all the pieces work together smoothly.

2a. Redwood.js closest to be being the Ruby on Rails of JavaScript. I've toyed with it before and got up and running quickly. Its opinions took a lot of unimportant decisions out of my hands and let me focus on what I was trying to produce. I didn't get so far as to confirm this but it also seems to make it easy to gradually drop the scaffolding if the opinions and simplifications ever get in your way.
There’s also geography. You go far enough East and you have mostly public sector or defense jobs. A little smattering of insurance data processing. And then fintech.

illinois.edu has one of the top rated CS programs, but once you graduate there are not a lot of options but to move to one of the coasts, or move back/to Chicago and try your luck there. Second City has a good deal of fintech.

No JS, and easy to self host. It’s a place to put your dotfiles. It comes with a CLI loosely based on git for editing, versioning, pushing, and pulling.
Those companies don't have public shareholder pressure but they do have investor pressure. The market downtown and cost of raising money changes investment calculus
Is it weird at all given the market, inflation, and debt?
Memory bandwidth is 1000x lower than CPU bandwidth, so as a rule of thumb any algorithm whose work scales linearly in the amount of data being processed will be memory bandwidth bound, and also any algorithm which can't be structured to do a lot of work on one memory region at once before moving onto the next one.

Examples (for large enough inputs that it's relevant) include shuffling, sorting, kmeans clustering, branch and bound sudoku solving, vector addition, dot products, and so on.

Moreover, writing a particular piece of code is often easier if you ignore memory bandwidth as a constraint. The classic example is matrix multiplication -- it can be structured such that even disk bandwidth isn't relevant compared to CPU bandwidth, but doing so is a little fiddly compared to the naive n^2 dot products approach, so writing it yourself usually results in a memory bandwidth bound solution for large matrices.

Similarly, writing two passes over your data rather than doing a mega-loop, the choice to use classic kmeans rather than one of its approximations (when it would be appropriate to do so), or not enforcing sortedness at some reasonable boundary and having to do additional passes over your data. It's easy to write code that hoovers up way more bandwidth than it needs to, and often faster algorithms that come out don't do anything different than access the right data at the right time to reduce that pressure, like a trinity rotation [0].

Caveat: Benchmark everything, especially as you're building intuition. Trying to fix what you think is a memory bandwidth issue can result in pipeline stalls and all sorts of fun things, especially when your server has more faster caches than your dev machine, when data in prod doesn't match your micro benchmark, ....

100% agree, i've got that, but how can I make most of my 401K and mortgage (e.g. through Roth IRA or refinancing? I saw some mention of both, so will have to read up on that).
IBM has been a dead company since about late 80's/early 90's.
The C standard only matters for compiler writers. What matters for compiler users is what specific compilers actually implement (and it's pretty much impossible to write a non-trivial C program which is 100% standard compliant, the Windows headers alone are full of MSVC idiosyncrasies).
Since you can insert arbitrary JS, it feels like you could write a loop that ajax posts a bunch of new webspaces when someone visits a webspace. Might look into protecting againt that.
Ask HN: MVP vs Red Tape
I've just started a live beta of a project I'm working on. A techy friend immediately told me about GDPR, Ts&Cs, compliance issues etc. that I need to include on the site. I'm doing is processing user-uploaded pdfs, and letting users download the result. I realize that there are potential privacy concerns and deletion policies, but it's not rocket science and feels like I need a lawyer.

How do you handle all the red tape at the MVP stage?
In order to be "realistic" it introduces too much variation between the alphabets; a real handwriting has generally less drastic variations and the degree of variation also varies from alphabet to alphabet.
Second entry might get some, too:

"The Brit says, 'I would like to buy this bar, restore it to its former glory and then burn it to the ground'".

Spoiler alert: They're not!

This is really Venture Capital News, and accordingly they've appropriated the whole "hacker" image in an attempt at authenticity.
I can’t help but think that the interaction between you and parent is based on a misunderstanding. By “no brainer,” I think parent didn’t mean that Japanese is easier than Hungarian but that Japanese is much more useful than Hungarian in that you can speak it with around 10 times more people on Earth.
I mean, not contesting the ticket is likely to be a better option than delegating your chances of not being convicted of contempt of court or perjury to the truthfulness and legal understanding of an LLM...
Lately I used Redis as main db for a real time app that needs to boot where it were.
There are thousands of coordinated successful phishing campaigns going on against Paypal every day, what value would that reporting provide to anyone?
Coincidence = market conditions in this case probably.
It could be because they're all planning for market conditions predicted by the same forecasts.

Also if your strategy is to hire as many engineers as you can possibly afford so that you can keep up with or beat the competition, then if the competition starts downsizing it means you can do the same, and maybe you see an economic contraction as a bigger risk.

Conjecture of course, but plausible I think.
Reminds me of https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/ : the cliche is that "our incredible journey" means "we are being bought out and our product will be deleted"
Wow that’s the perfect XKCD.
I'm constantly amazed at how people fail to see that in B2B if your clients are downsizing, well, you should expect less money coming your way. Yes, there is a "follow on effect" as one should expect.

If Confluent was building out new product features and "investing in growth" hoping to sell those features to expand customer uptake, should they just blindly keep going?

Sure, there are probably some 20 something CEOs right now running startups that are like OMG I guess we should lay off too, but it's such a naive take.

CEOs can't just will the market to bear whatever their vision is, they have to "make something people want". And if there are less people to sell to, well, you're gonna make less money...
Sounds like you really don’t like the idea of solving problems in general.

I mean, these arguments seem to apply to pretty much any problems.
At a minimum long term freezing an account with a positive balance should be treated as simple theft.

It’s fine if they want to arbitrarily flag something as fraud and refund money, but saying something is suspicious therefore we keep your money isn’t.
I might say that if you tried learning it then you'd realise that it's very difficult, but the real reason is that in most cases it's just not worth it. Virtually useless to know outside of the country, and if you're inside you either know it well enough or you have a job that doesn't require it (like all the English teachers and programmers) and enough support to get by without it.

I say this as a resident who is grinding his way through the language daily because I want to, but I am aware it's really a bit of waste of time like any other hobby.
Videos are harder to fake and produce, I would say impossible, any of the OpenAI products are unable to be creative.
>The spate of AI "artwork" I have seen over the past few months has seemed to me to be good "prompts" for artists.

The best outputs from a model like Midjourney go way beyond mere prompts for other artists.

I imagine it's a lot harder to read as well - as in read and parse in your head
Some businesses, sure. Some of the big tech companies that are doing layoffs though (like Google) are just fine financially, and are losing two decades' worth of employee morale and goodwill for a temporary stock bump that is already dissipating. Memegen is a firestorm, and everyone is now talking about the importance of being on safe projects and staying away from experimental/unproven ones. That's going to hurt Google's prospects of launching anything else revolutionary even further.

That table of values looks like it's growing exponentially. By the time they reach 70 cities, they will be into a trillion variables, which is not practical.

In real world usage, the TSP gets into the thousands of "cities." This would be for things like integrated circuit layouts.
Frontend: React + React Query.

Backend:

* Java Spring if it looks like monolith.

* Golang if it looks like microservice architecture.

Postgres for data.

S3 for blobs.

RabbitMQ for queues.

Kubernetes for infrastructure. Managed or self-hosted, doesn't matter. One 16GB VPS is good enough for start and can be scaled later.

That's my approach to any architecture today.

1Password, nothing else is close in UX and maturity. Cost is lower with Bitwarden, but for corporate use it doesn't matter.

Using 1Password for 2FA reduces it to 1FA (owning a single developer's machine gains access to both the password and the second factor). Bite the bullet and go for Okta or any other corporate SSO platform (and all the associated costs - the "SSO tax" - from all the vendors you use SSO with) if you want proper MFA in a corporate environment.

This is the right path to plan for anyway -- as a small company in view of the SSO tax, shared passwords are a requirement. But you should be planning to gradually move away from that into proper SSO in order of system risk and as finances permit.
Sorry, I mixed up one thing:
Paid for things with credit card. Got paid salary on current account but not paying back credit card out of fear of having 0 on current account. Paying fees while the money on current account just sits there, making that person believe to not be broke. Ridiculous
What should a business do that has more people on payroll than their revenues can support?
Still hard to trust. Many companies save info for training/qa purposes and hide details in obscure language. Voice assistants for example. Didn't Roomba get in trouble recently regarding photos uploaded and then shared with contractors for qa that ultimately shared the embarrasing photos more publicly.

It's already the case that independent creators get their works pulled on bogus copyright claims.

Ask HN: Does coffee affect vitamin absorption?
I’m wondering if drinking coffee while taking vitamins will affect the efficiency and efficacy of how the vitamins are absorbed. Is it better to eat vitamins first, wait a little, then drink coffee? If so, how long should one wait?
I love the walmart and target subreddits for the same reason, the stories in there are hilarious
...I'm surprised this shit wasn't apparent to HN when everyone literally uses the same leetcode interview process despite the fact that it makes no fucking sense.
oh it's nondeterministic! yeah this is fun
It's disheartening because it's a great loss to everybody. Almost none of the people that were generating images in a style of some artist will contact this artist and pay to have an image created.

So many artists styles could have gone viral and actually bring those artists some work from the people who tried the AI commercially and got results that weren't completely satisfactory. Now barely anyone will ever have any contact with their art (relatively speaking vs scenario of virality).

Basically the only people who win are the lawyers and handful of artists that were mislead by lawyers primitive argumentation. Everybody else looses. First and foremost artists and art lovers but also AI researchers and hardware manufacturers.
If you are almost surely going out of business, have some revenue but no good option for reducing your costs, yes a mass layoff has a higher chance to save you than doing nothing.

If you had a healthy business and do a mass layoff, you don't have a healthy business anymore.
I believe they are asking if, after extracting all the pieces (it's shipped as a self-extracting archive), does it do the things it needs to do to comply with GPL/AGPL? Like supplying the source code, or how to get the source code.
Good timing on the question. We are about to pass through a chunkier part of the Taurid asteroid belt. If the rock is big enough to turn everything molten then I suppose it might be time to hitch a ride in a nuclear submarine.
It is, though, because if you don’t understand or are unwilling to honestly describe what really happened you won’t be able to come up with a viable response.
The CEO take full credit for the layoffs, that is what they mean when they say they take full responsibility. In the eyes of those who matter to the CEO the layoff is a good thing, who would want that credit to trickle down the ranks to the middle managers?
No, bad. I may also disagree with some of the tactics DoNotPay used to represent themselves. But in a larger sense Lawyers cost money a lot of money. it's wonderful living in a time where the cost of filing suits is so low compared to defending against said suits.

AI lawyers can help lower those barriers to entry. the court in question is fucking traffic court. please lower the barrier to entry for defense and allow normal not rich folks to get on with their lives.

the costs involved in legal are so ridiculous, our society basically encourages blind folding ourselves to most business ethical standards in hopes that our product demands a high enough margin to then pay for what ever legal fuck ups that cost too much to figure out on the front end.
So if I run a chess forum and delete posts that are not about chess, and I delete 10 legal but off topic posts about baby care that give advice that will kill some babies, but I happen to miss one of those baby care posts and some babies die, I'm liable because I was actively deleting some legal posts?

But if I don't delete posts (other than those I'm legally required to delete), so let all the baby care posts remain I'm free from liability?

So the net result is that my chess forum (and all other forums run by entities that don't have the resources to review every post before allowing it to go public) becomes a topic-free general forum.

And you think this is a good thing!?

No, fines are not proportional to wealth (at least in most states). They're either flat fees or pegged to speed. Points on license as well, so ~3 tickets inside a year and you lose your license or have to take a course to keep it.

Most tickets are given by live officers. Cameras do exist, but typically only in dense urban areas. Which opens another can of worms, as police are biased.

We also have lists of secondary offenses the officer can cite only after citing you for speeding (or some other primary offense). Things like a failed light bulb, or some other minor safety issue. These are disproportionately used against PoC.
I'm trying to think of easy examples. You're right that none obvious come to mind. I'm sure there is a sweetspot where we can make more money from cheap-but-sometimes-wrong GPT queries than paying for an analyst to be more definitively correct, but I'm tired and a bit fuzzy on the exact parameters.

I'll continue to think about it and write something up!

I was hoping to see Finasteride mentioned in the article. I've read that it was found to trigger suicidal thoughts in patients. I'm curious why that is.
>One wonders why we have not developed something explicit like mathematical notations for legal stuff.

Because you have to apply the law to fact and facts lack mathematical precision.

Maybe it's different across cultures, but to me it was communicated that more serotonin makes you more risk-taking and removes anxiety from you. The anti-depressant effect is coming from the rewards of taking risk (e.g. asking someone out, applying for a new job, asking for extra ketchup on your fries).

There was a funny study about crayfish changing behaviour when exposed to SSRI, where they became bolder to the point of endangering their life.

Good point, thanks for asking about references.

I've updated the post above with links to a couple of decent resources and with quotes from the original authors of Section 230, as well as with information about the recent amicus brief they filed to the Supreme Court where they explicitly argue that Section 230 should protect algorithmic recommendations.
