Ask HN: Australia vs. Canada for an aspiring software developer
I wanted the opinion of the HN people regarding the software dev and startup scene in Australia compared to Canada. I am aware of big companies operating out of Canada, but have no idea which kind of tech companies and startups operate out of Australia.

Does Australia provide similar opportunities to work in tech companies and startups like USA and Canada?

P.S. I'm looking to pursue my Masters degree in Data Science in one of these countries, and am looking for any insight that would help me make the right decision. Thank you for your time.

With only six weeks "driving" this GPT-thing, I can assure you there is an error between the screen and the back of the chair. This is Nietzche-level self-introspection, you can choose to look lesser or more deeply into this thing. We are our own worst enemies, and GPT-3 is like having conversations with the few creative people online that are willing to even make comments/discussions, let alone entire blogs/platforms — ourselves.

My craziest experiences with ChatGPT have been through http://perplexity.AI (No login/signup. I am not affiliated with in any way, just USING their Bing+GPT service) sitting down with people far more technical than myself, and helping them "break" themselves into this new horse of a technology. The human 'astonishment' has been mostly astonishing, and the tougher the horse, the harder the humble.

While it matters, +-100ms doesn't matter in the vast majority of web use cases. There is even such a thing as too fast. If a user doesn't notice the page updated due to speed, that is also a poor experience. 300ms would actually feel incredibly fast to most web users for most websites. Less than 1 second is a good guideline for page load though as shown by your link.
My answer was found by having kids. For me, one of the absolute best things about having kids was that it eliminated all doubt: I now had a 100% crystal clear main quest that trivially answers, "what should I be doing right now?" if I'm ever not sure. Everything else in life, especially my career, is just a side quest now.

Why am I working? Before kids I foolishly thought it had something to do with being part of a team that is going to really change the world somehow. Now I do it to make money. And by not fooling myself about the "change the world" nonsense, it's now very easy to not work past 5pm, not have Slack on my phone, and be wholly present with my family most of my week. It helps me pick working less over getting raises or being promoted to a position that will demand I'm always reachable. It helps me decide, "do I want to be doing this hobby, or do I want to play with my kids?" It helps me make hobbies more interesting by involving my kids. It helps me never feel like I'm wasting my time here. If I go months without working on some project or developing some set of skills, no problem!

That reads like you're resetting credentials and then putting the new credentials back in LastPass, and then possibly maybe moving away from LastPass at some point in the future.

Given how little LastPass has disclosed, and the negligence we already know about, we should not only assume we're breached, but we should also assume LastPass is still storing critical data in cleartext, they don't have a "zero knowledge architecture", and their systems are still vulnerable to intrusion and exfiltration.

Very nice formalization.

One area for refinement: it considers two stacks either identical or unrelated. Consider that stack A;B is actually very close to A;B;C, the difference might be due to a sample time occurring just before or just after the call to C. OP considers them just as different as A;B and Z;W, therefore amplifying a measurement noise.

This suggests using a refined metric between stacks (e.g., an edit distance counting pushes and pops), and then we can use it in defining the metric between flamegraphs (e.g., an optimal transport metric [1], instead of the proposed L1).

Avoiding that noise amplification reduces the background noise level, therefore the cost of effective measurements. From another perspective, the current OP scheme creates an avoidable curse of dimensionality in the form of the Hotelling test's requirement that each sample has more measurements have more samples than distinct stack frames. So the same code split into more functions is harder to measure, and too-small samples are useless. I think neither of those is necessary if we take stack similarity into account.

I can respond to some of those points. FRCs have been around a long time but Helion isn't just making an FRC, they're making two, slamming them into each other, and then compressing with a magnetic field.

The neutrons from D-D fusion are much lower energy than D-T fusion, and don't cause the same damage to materials. They're similar to fission neutrons, and modern fission reactors last sixty years without refurbishment.

According to Helion and other sources I've seen, their hybrid reaction would only release 6% of its energy as neutron radiation, compared to 80% from D-T. They could also build reactors dedicated to D-D and hence He3 production, designing their power plants to mostly burn D-He3. That would reduce neutron radiation to less than 1% of power output.

Regarding net power and scaling, I'm not competent to talk about it but here's the CEO of Helion going into some detail on their view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1vyMcqiVtA

God I love this question. I ask the exact same thing at least twice a week. I use to have real depression over this issue.

I have zero answers for you. Personally, I learned to truly be ok with the answer "we don't know yet, but we're working toward it together". If you can somehow get to that point, you'll feel a little ease and maybe even a bit more connection with the rest of humanity.

I don't feel like most of humanity cares or even thinks about this in any regular interval, but I do. Might sound lame, but I feel like the right thing to do is contribute to meaningful work (space travel, medicine, sustainable energy, <noble cause X>) and focus on immediate problems in those areas.

People like you and I will never be around to see if humans collectively find good answers to these questions, but the same can be said about all the humans before us that got us to this point, and I'm truly thankful for what they built so far for us.
Here’s a quote from Kevin Hall, who does metabolic studies at Harvard:

Hi! Welcome to this <whatever> workshop. First thing we're going to need to do is install a new os!

It's always weird to me how the response to 'its great for showing new users stuff' is 'WHAT!? why arn't you having them install this new os/whatever instead'. I feel like hacker news commenters completely lack perspective sometimes.
The pressure to "use the time you have in a wise manner" may be part of what is driving the OPs angst that they must focus energy on some worthwhile end. Someone already mentioned Oliver Burke's book 4000 Weeks but it does a fairly good job of describing a different point of view.
> I think Amazon sees unionization activity as a critical risk for them.

Not necessarily Amazon as a company, quite often to improve working conditions also improve productivity. But there is a risk for upper management that prefers obedient employees that accept anything that goes down whatever reasonable or not. Lazy management loves employees that work extra hard to fill up gaps created by management failures. Many managers also think that any feedback from employees will look bad on them, even if it just to improve productivity. Finally many shareholders just cannot stand the working class and giving them even demands that will improve productivity seems scary.

I'm not sure what the name is for the inverse of leopard ate my face but this falls squarely in the bucket of people getting mad and surprised when they find out rage against the machine was opposed to the machine. Lots of people will pay not attention to the art they consume and assume that because they like it, it agrees with their beliefs. It's not a reflection on the art.
> These articles claim that at large companies that receive an influx of resumes, recruiters set rules to surface resumes that contain certain keywords... That is a bad strategy for applying at startups like ours. We’re not looking for keywords. We look for demonstrated expertise. Here are a couple of ways to demonstrate your expertise.

I'm always a bit surprised when startups, whose leadership doesn't even seem to understand the dominant hiring patterns for large, mainstream corporations, expect candidates to cater specifically to them.

If you're trying to get me to work for an "AI/ML platform" startup in this market right now, you'd better spend more time convincing me that you'll still exist in 2 years than telling me how I can tweak my resume for this specific company.

Honestly, a startup looking to hire founding positions should probably be searching their own networks rather than screening hundreds of resumes a month.
IIRC the cost of processing in the 'fulfillment center' is way lower than the cost of delivering it to your door, so there is only so much benefit you can obtain by optimizing the warehouses.
I think the well is really poisoned here. Resumes either hardly matter, or are just for SEO.

- If you're shooting resumes off into the void of companies "apply now!" pages, it's HIGHLY unusual for them to be looked at by a human. And when they are, they'll probably be considering more data points (looking at your LinkedIn and GitHub). So here it's best to make them "machine readable, human-tolerable".

- If you're handing out resumes at an event, you are going to want to make it terse and punchy. Sell your impact and skills. I think this is the least degenerate form of resume. Also, I've never done this outside of my career fair in college, where your resume is basically just your GPA and expected graduation year.

- If you're being referred, your resume is mostly for talking points when you're chatting with someone. So making it like a powerpoint is best for this.

Plus, for the first one, most of the time you just get ghosted. So forget overly tailoring your resume to the company, unless it's one you really really want into. In which case you're probably better off poking around and trying to either find a recruiter or find a referral even if it's just a "I talked to this person once and they didn't punch me in the face at all, you should interview them" referral.

I'm honestly kind of passionate about resumes, in theory? "Here is a 1-pager of my professional career" is an interesting problem. Unfortunately, that's typically not the problem you actually need to solve when you're sitting down at your doc titled "Resume".
You might be depressed out burnt out. You might be at a job that is demoralizing. For a while, I used productivity as a replacement for fulfillment, and work as a distraction from difficult parts of life.

I eventually realized that I was miserable, and focusing on productivity just made me better at being miserable fast. Some people get joy out of optimizing their life - I don't.

I get joy out of working with people I respect towards a shared goal. As long as it's not actively harmful, I don't care what that goal is. I found a team that I liked which scratches that itch. I spend my free time with friends and family, reading, and doing other activities that are just existing. It works well for me

> On HN coding is more respected than social skills

No it isn't, you see people saying "social skills are more important than technical skills" everywhere people discuss such things, and they get upvoted a lot. People saying the opposite tend to get heavily downvoted.

So to me it looks like even on HN social skills are more respected than technical skills, at least in threads where we discuss what skills are important.

Couple days apart, and they announced an investment, but the $10B figure is rumors. Could be right, could be wrong.

But so what? There’s no gotcha here; it’s not like Microsoft or Google or Amazon claimed they were cash poor and could t afford to pay people. They are changing the areas they spend money in. Would it be better if they were only cutting back and not also investing in new areas?
20 seconds of looking at something at least 20 feet away every 20 minutes. (The rule might be every 2 hours - I forget. Doing it every 20 minutes won't hurt, though.)
The pursuit of outcomes, or the search for fulfillment and satisfaction, is a fundamental aspect of human nature. It is natural to strive for goals and to desire to improve one's circumstances. However, it is also true that the attainment of a goal does not necessarily bring lasting satisfaction. This phenomenon is often referred to as the "hedonic treadmill," where people quickly adapt to new levels of achievement and return to a baseline level of happiness. The key to finding fulfillment in life may lie in finding a balance between setting and working towards goals while also finding contentment in the present moment and cultivating a sense of purpose. Additionally, it's important to be mindful that the pursuit of material things may not bring the ultimate happiness, it's also important to focus on experiences, relationships and personal growth
The size of an ActivityPub payload overhead is minimal.

On each individual server they are ideally saved based on their unique identifier (which are RFC3987 IRIs) and I doubt that there is any software that will do it individually for each inbox instead of storing one copy to which each inbox links to.

To minimize even this, each server can store just the IRI(which is mandated to be de-referenceable) and load the payload when prompted by UI. I doubt that anyone does this also.
What happens if your laptop is stolen or its hard drive fails or you lose your wallet?
I guess I worded things a bit sloppily, OOP can mean a lot of different things too..

The main thing is that working with state is hard. "Objects" is often about representing something stateful and encourages thinking in terms of doing actions to state. It embraces a stateful world-view..

Functional programming I guess is the one popular alternative; but a lot of the benefits of functional programming can also be had in imperative languages, if one e.g. thinks in terms of event sourcing.

My definitions; If your object is named UserNameChanged, and you write code to process such events and so on, that is event sourcing. While if you structure your code to say that a "User" has a "Name" property, that is OOP.

Focusing on the events, state transitions etc as the first class thing gets you closer to a "stateless" programming model.

The Out of the tar pit paper I linked to describes the problems of working with state. And I think Event Sourcing is a more real-world, pragmatic approach to the same problems described in that paper.

There is no reliable scientific basis to claim that a vegan diet is good from a general health and longevity perspective. No one has ever performed a proper long-term randomized controlled trial.

I'm not sure that it's representative of the industry, as a whole, but it's excellent.

For myself, I read every résumé that I got; sometimes, not completely. If I saw that it wasn't a fit, early on, I'd abort the process.

But, for the most part, I enjoyed long, complete résumés, and would have killed for things like GH repos (they weren't really a thing, when I was a hiring manager). I tended to look for "orthogonal thinking," and "diamonds in the rough." Very few folks would come in the door, with the skills we needed, so I expected to invest a lot of training.

10 years ago I started doing HIIT via the 7-minute workout while initially out of shape. The first month was horrible, then my body substantially improved, I stopped being lactose intolerant (could suddenly drink a gallon of milk a day without any issues), then I could stack 2 HIITs and later 3 HIITs in a row, then I could push more and more reps in each 30 second interval, achieving like 4-6x improvement compared to when I started and my fitness exploded.
Compared to US tipped-staff service, non-tipped staff in Japan seem a lot more genuine in their desire to help. It seems a matter of culture and professional pride to be provide excellent service, which leads to a significantly more thorough experience -- being that nice in the context of a tip would seem pushy and awkward.

Clustering certainly has some advantages on low power cores but I wouldn't expect them to go with SMT on lower power cores. Adding SMT doesn't cost much die area but it adds a ton of difficulty to validation. I'd say for little cores you're generally better off with more, smaller, SMT1 cores than fewer, larger SMT2 cores. Where SMT really shines on consumer workloads is that sometimes you only have a few threads, which is why you want it on your big cores.

And as an aside, Zen actually has the exact same arrangement of gates in both the bigger and smaller configuration, the smaller one just uses a more consistently small transistor size while the larger one scales transistor size to fanout more aggressively.

One place where clustering is being used right now is in Arm's new A510 where two cores share a FPU and L2 but not a front end like the Bulldozer. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/arm_holdings/microarchitectures...
