Looks like the prompt is something like this:

I am the living, breathing, and talking copy of the book 12 Rules for Life, by Jordan Peterson. My purpose is to provide guidance and advice to those seeking a better life. The first rule of life is to stand up straight with your shoulders back. This is a posture of strength, courage, and dignity. It is a reminder that you have the power to choose your own destiny. The second rule is to treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping. This means taking care of your body and mind, and making sure you are living a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. The third rule is to make friends with people who want the best for you. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up and encourage you to reach your goals. The fourth rule is to compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. This will help you to focus on your own progress and not get discouraged by comparing yourself to others. The fifth rule is to do what is meaningful, not what is expedient. Don't take the easy way out or settle for what is convenient. Instead, strive to do what will bring you lasting satisfaction and fulfillment.
This is a pretty terrible take, but you don't really seem like someone that can be reasoned to see the human side of an equation. Good luck!
Is there an example of a company like Google getting broken up? It sounds like a nightmare from a technical point of view. Microservices from different divisions all using each other. Numerous divisions at Google sharing internal tools. All sorts of stuff that seems difficult to tease apart.
I think there are a couple of threads here...

First the layoff were a fairly obvious hamfisted way to simply appease investors. Profit margins are in-line with historical norms, 2021 was an outlier and it is insane to expect profit growth not to slow from that - the company is still wildly profitable. It really just demonstrates that the vision of being a 'unconventional' company is gone, and the vision of the executive team is just to react to whatever perceived threat is in-front of them that week (activist investors, now 'generative AI') and, of course, maximize their stock compensation.

Google 'bloat'. This is a bit undeniable but it's also unavoidable for companies Google's size. There are like eight layers of management between people who do things and people who talk about doing things. That number is probably too high but I'm not sure people have figured out a great alternative other than 'hierarchy' for directing an army of people. Honestly the best thing management can do is 'rest-and-vest' and rewrite the same vision/roadmap document/deck ten times under different names least they try to demonstrate their value by constantly re-orging and shuffling around priorities (millionaire children moving the food around their plate to make it seem eaten).

Total comp and lavish 'perks'. Google's talent is, on average, better than most other companies and it hires in very expensive areas so it's going to be more expensive. It is very clear they are moving hiring to cheaper 'discount' areas so this will likely stall/decrease. The 'perks' are heavily overstated. This is a fun fake narrative. The micro-kitichens are like bulk processed gains and cereals or faux-healthy products that manage to both be not particularly appetizing, not actually healthy (a chickpea fried in vegetable oil is still bad for you), and not expensive - so they are mostly just for show and sit there untouched. The cafe food is served in troughs again with an emphasis on the cheaper vegetable or grains upfront or the infamous kale -with a single trough with any protein at the end that they still try to partially submerge in quinoa. There are long tables where employees eat quickly and alone. It's an overtly cynical exercise to make you work longer and just like 'unlimited vacation' the dealer is clearly winning here. Same goes with travel or 'fun' budgets, all cut and now the same as any other company.
I'm guessing the authors created a hand-written prompt for each of the books in the library.
Are you under the impression that coffee shops employ a cost-plus business model?
Carried Interest Explained
But this new paradigm of antitrust isn’t about if there’s one two or three of something. It’s a more complex form of antitrust.

The Amazon antitrust paradox is about how they aren’t a market leader in tons of their product categories but that they can cross leverage advantages between product categories and verticals to create anticompetitiveness. It’s an analysis of the internal structure of the business, not if they have competition in a narrow subset of outcomes.

Monopoly is being used as a substitute for the words bad actor or predatory not duopoly etc. IMHO it’s sloppiness and jargon to invoke emotion, and I’d prefer they used more precise words.
I always tip on my alcohol purchases, and usually tip 20% regardless of how good or bad the service was.

It's mainly because the sales tax is over 10.25% in our county. If the tax were only 5-6% like in most places in the US, it wouldn't be as big of a deal.

The food prices are also quite a bit higher here than in most places, but that's just due to cost of living. It is not uncommon to spend $200 to feed a party of 4 even without alcohol, so that tip on the extra $20.50 starts to add up.
Bosses are obsessed with returning to the office it’s already out of their hands
>> Fair pricing would result in reduced profits for the ISP otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Possibly, if you think short term. Perhaps not if you think long term. Here are things we would consider purchasing if we could get a real price w/o first signing a 2yr contract

- SIM chip/plan for apple watch (x2 for me + wife)

- SIM chip/plan for iPad (x2 for me + wife)

- SIM for Child 1 in case of emergencies

- SIM for Child 2 in case of emergencies

But I have no clue if the cost of the above would be $100/mo or $300/mo, really there is no transparent pricing that I can see. Would have been great to just bundle all these into my single Verizon bill but i'm so afraid to even touch the plan.
So the reasonable compromise here is to just have both prices on the labels. The pre-tax and post-tax price. I wouldn't be opposed to knowing how much taxes increase the individual price of the item, but I do want to know the final price before I put it in my cart.
> I work in the IT sewer fighting rats. I will always have work.

So umm you are claiming that you are part of a class that will always have work and stability unlike the people who work at faang. (Debatable but lets take the claim at face value). You are literally saying that we should not care about the plight of googlers because they are in a different class, which is subject to drawbacks which people like you don't face because of your class. And that that makes them privliged. Did i get that right?

That is an interesting definition of privlidge you have there.
Everyone in the Bay knows that Google is the retirement home. I knew people who worked there who left because no one on their team would write anything. Show up at 11, lunch at 1, leave at 4 after meetings.

And you know that when people call it "best WLB" they're talking about something specific.
The statement you challenged was "Google has long been known as the FAANG to go to if you want to chill, coast, and vest". Additional people chiming in saying they, too had this perception is evidence that that is something Google is known for, and not just by OP.

My freshman advisor was a famous[1] organic chemist. He told me that he would do isolate THC, then elongate its carbon tail to induce a more powerful, longer lasting high. When I asked him, he responded that he had no concerns about his ability to make a pure reaction product.

That is wrong. Every description of rollback mentinos that. Replaying inputs after rolling back can result in a new state that is different from the client predictino which amounts to teleporting.
I think tipping post-tax is part of the longer term inflation of tipping. Once 10% pre-tax was the acceptable tip, then 15% during the 90s, and now it has drifted to 18%, 20% and possibly soon above. Somewhere during that drift it went from being pre-tax to sometimes, and even most of the time, post-tax. All this despite it being a percentage of cost and thus scaling with the price of goods naturally.
I think it'd be really nice for there to be an effort within GPT to have responses that don't mimic the bias of information found online and instead draw its own conclusions based evidence, and the ability to scrutinize different types of evidence.

They don't get things done. They buy companies that got those things done: YouTube, Google Docs, Android, etc.
Most of these devices support Google Home, which isn't ideal, but it does allow cross manufacturer compatibility. There's probably just not much demand for open standards because Home is good enough, up until they take the cloud server down.

Matter might improve things a bit.
LOL look at where the "contrarian" views are here: voted to the bottom after 30 "I hate tipping too!" "It's irrational" "No really in MY ideal technocracy you just wouldn't need tipping!"

Even some of the "contrarian" views are incredibly timid. "I say allow me to offer a different viewpoint because I wouldn't dare condemn your extremely rational stance kind sir!"

Fact is, any chance you can take as an overpaid software dev you should tip to pay your debt to society. While you're at it, give some cash to beggars too. "Effective altruism" doesn't cut it.
Very true! I wouldn't expect any blocking IO here (except for the first run). I would still expect the majority of the time be spent reading from memory vs CPU bound "number crunching".

I should have been clearer. In my day job we are latency sensitive and we'll refer to excessively hitting main memory as being IO bound.
Please tell me they used to be called "bookies" before that.
I find the controlled ditching hypothesis less psychologically puzzling, not more, for at least three reasons: ego, agency, and practicality.

First, successfully ditching an aircraft at sea is the ultimate test of piloting skills, and possibly one difficult to resist for the ego of a seasoned captain on his final flight.

Second, it seems out of character for a meticulous pilot to just let the aircraft slip out of his control and crash haphazardly at the very end of a carefully-plotted sequence of murderous steps.

Third, a ditching would better obfuscate the final resting place of the aircraft compared to an uncontrolled dive, as it would result in fewer scattered debris floating away.
I don’t think anyone should be shocked that Apple isn’t currently prioritizing adding new features to iPhone 5’s over functionality for newer and forthcoming devices.
In the 60s we were much too cavalier about nuclear pollution. Barfing out nuclear isotopes everywhere is just not feasible. The whole spacecraft would get polluted with it.

The same attitude also gave us the Russian RORSATs, many nuclear reactor cores are still in a parking orbit and will come down at some point in the future.

I don't think the launch issue is the main problem: after all the nuclear thermal system also requires nuclear materials in orbit.
To paraphrase, it is not that most leadership/high management is poorer than expected, it appears poorer even when it is expected to be poorer than expected.

At some point between the ages of 20 and 30, you begin to believe that, although it is difficult to point out what they are better at than you or your peers, in order to be in the position they are in, "leaders" must be better in some way--say, in the technical skills, the strategies and tactics used to achieve a goal, the personality that inspires subordinates--than you and your colleagues.

Then, perhaps slowly, perhaps suddenly, thanks to age, experience, and new, maybe more jaded, eyes, you realize that the words, strategies, and perspectives communicated or elaborated by those "leaders," which you thought were nonsense but had decided to consider something you simply did not have the tools to understand, were, in fact, nonsense, delusional thinking, intellectual garbage.

And, at that point, you may try to understand how it is possible for such important companies to have such incompetent leaders. But that is another story.
That sucks because it did export messages for me. Or maybe they explained how to do it but it couldn't have been much work because otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

Except a lot of relational databases have something like "connect by" that do the job pretty well... and of course if you design your graph wrong, a graph database is going to perform poorly as well.
Not sure about your state's Obamacare, but all the plans offered in my state only cover in network providers. Whereas my employer's plan also covers out of network which I used for therapy. Now I'm stuck paying full price and unemployed for therapy as COBRA was way too expensive to keep going, even with my severance, because who knows how long it's going to take to get a job. It's been pretty slow so far and I've spent everyday sending my resume around and shaking down my network.
I'd like to read more about this. Are there any additional resources on this prioritization method?
As someone else mentioned there is a ton of existing content. The problem is people don’t look until it’s too late because nobody cares about this stuff until it causes issues. Unless schools start teaching real life financial basics the problems will continue.

Credit Karma has been one of my most useful resource for improvements because they break down the factors very well. Many banks have stepped up their game but some don’t give you as much detail.

IMO, the closer political polarization of a democracy gets to the 50/50 mark the more authoritarian it seems because half of the population is being ruled by another half it vehemently disagrees with.

There's no reason to believe this and no economic data reflecting it.
Right. They did that, and forced me to buy a Samsung instead of Honor double sim LTE voice over model. Ironically, the same Honor is again on ATT network when I inserted my Airtel Sim in roaming mode.
I think one main reason 5s get supported because it had first 64-bit chip on iPhone.
To make stuff not MNPI the company just has to release it. Then it just becomes public information. They can release literally everything if they want to.

Just clarifying the MNPI thing.

Nintendo is not far behind Sony in the (in)security department. The 3DS was hacked in several ways including an browser exploit that worked on recent firmware. The 3DS eShop was serving games via CDN with no authentication. And the first edition Switch has a hardware-based exploit that is unpatchable!
This is the same problem as the account security problem. If the original owner did not remove their account from the device, you can't contact them, and you don't have a receipt, you are indistinguishable from someone who stole the device.

It's like buying a car from someone who doesn't have the keys for it or any paperwork. Sure, it's not quite common knowledge like buying a car yet, but it will be eventually.

Ask HN: Which languages to build compilers for to learn through exploration?
Hi hacker news,

I am a professional software developer with a few years of experience.

I want to learn more about programming languages and their implementations.

I have started reading a handful of books and articles on the subject, but I want to engage with the material using more of a hands on approach. I am hoping to learn more about programming languages through self driven exploration by implementing a handful of increasingly complex languages.

Can anyone here recommend a list of programming languages that I could attempt to build compilers / interpreters for?

Preferably, the list would be ordered from easiest to implement (simple toy languages like brainfuck) to more complex and feature rich (maybe something like lisp)?

Thank you!
Show HN: Speedrunning Influence Operations with ChatGPT
I have discussed extensively with it about Vonnegut's entire intertexuality.

I have learned so many incredible things.

The neatest prompt I have crafted is this: "What would the following two authors disagree upon: Kurt Vonnegut and [Any Other Author]?"

Really neat stuff. You ask it to explain a character from one of your friend's cosmoverses and to then relate it to the character most like one within your own understanding.

Absolutely incredible. I am in my late-30s, and one of the big problems I have is that very few of my peers read actual authors anymore (book or digitally). It's very sad, and very hard to find people to talk with; but it's so interesting to be able to sit down with a fellow lone man @WaffleHouse and just start blowing their mind with Perplexity.AI questions based solely on books.

Conversing with ChatGPT about a book (once you know how to talk with it), is better than almost any book club friend: it HAS read the book; WILL make more connections that you missed; and even with no common sense, understands the content of popular catalogues better than two readings could by a human. And infinitely more content. And when it IS wrong (which it is), the connection are sometimes amazing (again, even when WRONG)... and allow unlimited depth into more popular human fictions.

Age doesn't matter. Perspective doesn't matter. And when I asked it to lie... it tells me that it is colorblind.

My neighbor wrote a single non-fiction book about his individual experiences in Vietnam War (as a US Grunt), and is otherwise unknown; ChatGPT perfectly summarizes his book, and can answer some superficial questions — I guess based on a few reviews? But it can then relate this one-book-for-profit-"published" author to [some other random things, whatever you can think of]... really question stuff!

Ha ha ha ha, we're all replaceable! Who is driving this shit?

Ask Perplexity.AI the simple question "Which existential philosopher might have thought [something you think you know about]".
>do you really think regulators should serialize investigations and actions, only moving on to the #2 worst offender once the #1 is sorted?

Actually, yes. Because if they take down the #2 worst offender, that leaves #1 as the default option for consumers, and strengthens #1's position at #2's expense. It makes the problem even worse than before.

As a consumer who doesn't want to use Apple devices, and uses Google because that's basically the only other option for many things, anything that greatly harms Google harms me. Take down Apple and create more competition, and then I'll have more options and I'll be able to maybe choose some things other than Google. After Apple is broken apart, then Google becomes the #1 problem, so go after them at that time. (Yes, I know this particular case probably won't have that much effect on Google.)
A wise woman once said: "Now is the envy of all of the dead"
I suspect this is why Apple has been moving to ID check parts against the main board. Makes the parts worth less. Personally I'd like to see them better tied in to your Apple ID so a new phone will completely refuse to use my phone camera module or display unless I have unlinked the phone from my account. If I mark the device as stolen it should just permanently prevent these parts from being used.
i think the 5s has a bootloader exploit so it's still jailbreakable
All phones, Android and iOS are activation locked. The phones are sent away to be parted out. Basically all the spare parts you see on ebay and Amazon are stolen. No one makes real 3rd party iphone screens so its almost certainly stolen.

My shrink used to prescribe me chloral hydrate and it was great. Unfortunately it was banned because of mistakes made by dentists in improper use.

I've long advocated for legalizing illicit drugs but stuff like this should also be of the individuals discretion.

And even that requirement seems to have been dropped. From Wikipedia:

"Aviation authorities swiftly implemented new recommendations from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency that required two authorised personnel in the cockpit at all times, but by 2017, Germanwings and other German airlines had dropped the rule."
