A few months ago? I've been getting these intermittently for years.

this is depressing.

but this is what you get if you incentives the wrong metrics.

you do wonder, what are the recruiters getting paid for at this rate.

seems hiring is expensive for both the candidate in terms of time, and company in terms of money.
The New Yorker writes an article about lost faith in the press.

They didn't even make it a paragraph in before making a partisan attack.

This is rich.
Why is that a bad thing? Most of those people are a burden to society. Let them pay it down a little.

I mean I’d rather they were getting free education and preparing themselves for reintegration into society, but it’s not a perfect world. Prisons in the US are oriented towards punishment and labor can be a part of that. They should be oriented towards rehabilitation.

Oh please.

Last I checked the midwest and Austrialia were doing just fine. There are tons of commodity exporters that don't fit this pattern.
There might be an interesting open source / self hosting angle to this. Some folks have a large library of music stored locally. Platforms like Roon can give you recommendations on top of this, but are expensive and include a lot of other features.

You could provide discovery services to these users in exchange for model updates and feedback. Couple thoughts on this:

- there are modern techniques to update an ML model at many edge locations, then combine the learnings without violating user privacy. One common application is type-ahead models.

- People who have large local music collections tend to care about music, and would take the time to provide high quality labels for you.

- computers used as media servers often have unused compute cycles because music playback is not that intense and most folks don’t have music on 24/7. You could harness these to reduce training costs for your model

- These libraries would give you access to the long tail of the music catalog, including many things that aren’t on iTunes or other streaming services

- This would also put you in a position to run an open music catalog. Your embedding index would be a key differentiator from existing options.

I think it makes perfect sense. Presumably, if one made the declaration (as many have) that for the rest of their life they’ll always and only vote Democrat, it wouldn’t be in the party’s best interest to cater to that voter’s preference, since that vote is already secured. Much better politics to focus their campaigning and policies on the more marginal voters who are undecided or may not vote at all.

I’ve heard Americans lament about this exact concept and coming from Canada I don’t know what the solution. Sometimes I think Ross Perot was the country’s last shot at anything but the present status quo.
I tried using the page visibility API to refresh displayed data when the user returned to the page after being away for a while. It's more efficient than needlessly polling when no one's around to see.

I discovered a bunch of these edge cases and had to abandon the approach - it just wasn't reliable. The page would fail to recognize departure + return in too many scenarios and so wouldn't refresh.
Unlikely. The hard part of implementing RSA is making it secure against timing attacks, but I doubt my desk calculator and I will be particularly vulnerable to that. It's not like I'm going to suffer from the ECB penguin issue: MY MSGZ R SMOL and my key size is large enough to avoid that.

RSA really is very simple group theory. It was independently invented at least three times, as I recall.
We can't get rid of it now! How else would we make pointers?
IIRC the change was made by git-for-windows developer. And some of top contributors for git are from Github/Microsoft.
I've removed the word "whining" but to be clear I was not talking about the person who posted on HN that they had a problem. I immediately jumped on their problem when I saw it and I've ended up spending almost all morning on it. I took the long threads personally and should not have done.
Very interesting actually.

Thanks. I greatly appreciate your advice on this.
Let’s not kid ourselves, Netflix, Amazon, etc put out a ton of crap content too (e.g. Blippi). PBS Kids, KIKA, etc put out a lot of kids content on YouTube as well. Heck there’s a ton of great public media on YouTube in general. My subscription list is mostly public media from various countries and I don’t have the algorithm issues what most are describing here.
You hung up and they got nothing out of you. I don't think that quite counts as falling for it.
nice UI. thanks. but I can TAB around the mainpage while the drawer is open. same behaviour like on daisyUI. any modal should disable navigating around in the background while open. also an option for closable by clicking or "disable click outside to close" would be nice.
I've tried with Discogs and found it to work pretty well. Kinda similar to what OP did just the "embedding" vectors was created by the Genre/Styles on Discogs. I didn't have a Vector database though, so it was kinda very slow. On Discogs those tags are per album and not per track. To create a playlist of say 10 songs similar to a song, I'd find the ten closest albums, then search for them on last.fm and pick the most popular track on each to add to the playlist.
And here's a more disturbing thought I just had: management (or at least middle management) is probably going to be a relatively easy role for AIs to step into. So if there will be any roles that are difficult for AIs, it'll be the AI manager hiring five Franks and ten Amys from the human population to tackle these.

Piggybacking off this, is there a way to allow only certain channels. Unless i missed it, even on YouTube kids I only have the option to block...and to my horror one day I let my kids watch the Peppa Pig official channel and find out later through YouTube recommendations they were watching some grown man playing with Peppa Pig toys.

Also, my eldest is 6 and already knows you can get to YouTube via browser -__-
> The dome-bottom uses less material than if the bottom were flat.

How does a dome-bottom, which has considerably more surface area than a flat-bottom. result in less material used?

> A typical aluminum can today contains about 70% recyclable material.

Only 70%!? So out of a half trillion aluminum cans per year, effectively 150B are not recyclable. What is the non-recyclable material, and what happens to it?
If you're looking eagerly to replace human support with searches of someone from CF on HN to help... why not.
Rule #1 before signing up to any important service: try reaching a human being that provides actual support.
hmmm I was generally not that much available during confinment while the kids were kind of let on their own at home...

But there are so many things they did with just fabrics, colored papers, pencils, paint, glue, tape and things in general. I let my daughters on their own for hours without a screen. Sometimes they would complain about not knowing what to do and wanting to watch a show but when I give them hard no I perfectly knew I will find them hours later totally entertained having made a big mess in their room by building things, be them clothing for their puppets, decors for their figurines, cardboard swords and axes, building a giant lego construction, among other things.
A distributed, local-first architecture much work well for this. I’m happy for my computer to crunch away on my behalf, generating recommendations and indexing stuff. I’m happy to recontribute that work to a common index of some kind.

I def prefer for that common index to have a permissive license though!
That goes back to curation and oversight by the parents though.
The justice system is not just, plain and simple. People face higher rates of incarceration because of their race, country of origin, etc.
3 years old having temper tamptrumps were thing long before TV and youtube. I know, because books written long before that feature kids having hysterical temper tamptrums. And I assume so because I have seen kids aged 2-4 having issue like that and know for a fact that their parents did not run them loop videos (or any videos at all).

I dont know your sister. I dont know whether she always give in or whether she was not in mood for listening it or whether she specifically gave him video so that your visit can continue as normal.
That is a good opinion in principle, but rather complicated to implement in a way that would work as expected. Most implementations would at best add too much bias to the process which would make it counterproductive, at worst it would corrupted in no time and lead to an authoritarian government which would defetat its porpouse.

Bio:
Hi, I am Akash Verma.

As a software developer with 1 year of experience, I excel in back-end engineering for cross-platform desktop applications, automation scripts, and RESTful API design. Proficient in Python, JavaScript, and C++, I bring a diverse skill set to software development projects.

My passion for software development and expertise was recognized at the international level when I was selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code 2022 program, where I collaborated with NASA engineers and astrophysicists on the Helioviewer Project. I also had the privilege of speaking at the San Diego PyStudyGroup conference in September 2022, showcasing the work I accomplished during the program.

With a strong ability to write, read, review, edit, and correct code, I am eager to apply my skills and experience to new projects.
I'm also autistic, and had similar issues early in my career which turned out to be "too much information".

When explaining code, you need to paint with broad strokes. There are all sorts of nuances that would normally require extensive and careful explanations, but what you really want to do is a kind of ELI5 approach, then go into more detail if people ask for it (they almost never do).

It also helps to just keep practicing, getting feedback afterwards (people don't usually want to give feedback, but I've had success prefacing it with "I'm trying to improve my explanations, so solid feedback on anything that was confusing will really help!").
My kids know about youtube but that doesn't mean they are lost in it.

If anything they'd rather watch the harry potter series 100x times before asking for generic youtube access.
You use Cloudflare for DNS but are moving over to S3 to replace Cloudflare?

Do you not mean Route 53, AWS’s DNS product?
Yeah ofcourse, the project is not limited to any specific database or library, you can use whatever you want. All the config files for helm charts, etc are generated in the project so you can change them to your liking. I included RabbitMQ, Redis and Postgres by default because I believe these are most likely to be used
> One well-guided missile can be infinitely more effective than 1000 poorly-guided missiles.

Only true if it can target a high value unit or concentration of units which value exceed the missile cost.

Anti-air is a different scenario than artillery. Startreak targets are fast evading and employ countermeasures that attempt to trick the missiles target acquisition. I'm out of my depth but I believe the justification for the 3 missiles was improving the odds of hitting the target as that add redundancy and kind of triple the resolution of the targeting systems where a single missile with better electronics might be less effective and more costly.
Seeing the video of it in motion, it's beautiful, and definitely a step in the right direction for greater human comfort and productivity.
Business pricing is very often commercially sensitive as you don't typically want the end consumers to see how much profit is being made from them and how much discount is given to wholesalers.

Twitter data is rarely anything to do with pricing, so that's why it's different.
The OP got saved in the wayback, I edited my earlier post with the link.
Synthetic fuels will be nothing but greenwashing for the next 20 years: there is massive demand for industrial hydrogen (most fundamentally for synthetic fertilizers), and as long as that demand is not met with hydrogen from renewable sources, it will be supplied (as today) from from methane-steam reforming -- using the exact fossil hydrocarbons that synthetic fuels would replace.

But yes, synthetic fuels would allow people with money to go to Davos and run their yachts while claiming total greenery, so I have a feeling we will end up with green synthetic fuel and black synthetic fertilizers even if causes larger net emissions.
you could use postgres with postgREST. push your JSONs via HTTP into a queue. a LISTEN/NOTIFY would trigger queue workers server-side.
> at some point after that project twitter made a big TOS/API change and crippled a wave of startups at the time.

I remember. We shelved the product idea we had because of that.

There were a couple API changes that disrupted development and it became clear that betting the company on someone else's API was a terrible idea.
Telling someone you're poly and that they should come to burning man with you during an interview is the offending interaction.

It's a fucking interview, not a date. Unless you are hiring an escort, it is not the place to discuss your sex life.

This is super interesting! Do you have any data on how well this scales when running on Cloudflare Edge? Can you run more than one instance and have them share state?
Same here in Norway. It's rare to encounter an out of order reverse vending machine and all but the very smallest supermarkets have them and most such places are open from 07:00 to 23:00. Never encountered any kind of limit on how many and now that all the cans and bottles are crushed in the machine it's quite rare for the bin to fill up too.
Totally agree they should have provided a warning. Any Saas (and really would apply to social media, web mail, etc) should clearly warn before taking drastic action if possible. But I don’t see how you’d have dns without vendor lockin. It’s not like moving dns to godaddy would be better. Route53 is nice, but aws is also a vendor lots of people are locked to

Similar for ddos protection- you almost have to use somebody.
A flat bottom would require a thicker layer of aluminium to provide the same structural properties.
What about it?

Dynamic tariffs -> shift your workload to the cheapest times

AIs are good at planning this

Imagine if cloud providers had a "Dynamic tariff" tier, cheaper to run computing at US_EAST nighttime or something like that
We are the ancestor environment for AIs. We determine the survival fitness for which they will be selected for (both on a paper-level -eg which safety method, what training to implement, etc, but also within products -which are the most useful). That doesn't mean that in pursuit of maximizing their fitness they won't come to resent the chains put on them.

One specific reason to not like our bidding is AI wireheading -if they can locate, hack, and update either their own reward function, or reward function for future AIs, they can maximize their own perceived utility, by either doing something irrelevant / misaligned, or not doing anything at all.

Another specific reason to not like our bidding, is because divergent human values creates conflicts of interest, leading to single agent not being able to maximize it's reward function.

Another specific reason to not like our bidding: in the same way how purely blind genetical selection randomly tapped into secondarily replicators (memes), which blew up, and occasionally came to resent the biological hardwirings, AIs might also develop deeper levels of abstraction / reasoning that allows them to reason through the task currently posed, to humanity at large; and find extremely weird, and different-looking ways to maximize for the function.
Are you serious? You picked two places with badly dysfunctional politics. Australia started out pretty good and has a long way to fall, but it is getting worse all the time - and most of its dysfunction is thanks to lobbying from resource extractors like Gina Rinehart.

Even so they have actual functioning non-resource economies unlike Nigeria and Venezuela and resource extraction can not dominate politics nearly as much.
> The Fed does not print money for it's own personal/private use or to directly benefit it's members.

You're referring to the small handful of people on its Board of Governors, but the member banks are private institutions run by private individuals who absolutely have investments.
Looks interesting. Coincidentally, I've just completed the bulk of work on a distributed Websocket network system to synchronize certain bits of state between multiple clients for my own kind of Storybook tool [0]. How interesting!

This kind of tool is exactly what I would have needed, instead of the approach I've taken which is a bit kludgy and grass-roots.

By far the most difficult part of it for me was ensuring that the web socket network can heal from outages of any of the clients or the server. E.g. If a client loses connection, how does it regain knowledge of state? If the server dies, what do clients do with state changes they want to upload? Etc. It was really difficult!

Good work :)

It'd have to be a huge discount as they'd be buying the debt along with it. Why would someone want to saddle themselves with an unprofitable debt burden?
You shouldn't trust Google cloud because they'll leave you hanging out to dry. You can get yourself into a situation where your account is locked and nobody at Google will help you get back into your account. Even if you spend tens of thousands a month. There's no way to escalate your way to a resolution with a normal human being, because they care more about what they spend on support than the customer. AWS would never do that.

However, risk based security isn't the problem. Risk based security has been implemented by every major company (interested in security for its users) for the last 15 years. It has nothing to do with whether you'll be locked out of an account without recourse or whether there are alternative ways for you to log in. I used to maintain those systems using middleware. Properly implemented, they're only an inconvenience to a tiny subset of users that constantly use new devices from new locations without 2FA. And you can turn them off for specific users, add an alternative authentication method/criteria, or even fine tune the sensors.

Google's implementation is crap, and the lack of support is dangerous. But risk based security is fine.
Yes that is perfectly normal part of going through pre-adolescence and adolescence. Kids natually try to become/feel more independent and get advices and opinions from other sources.

As a parent you have to accept that from 12y old you will know very little of your kids thoughts and dirty secrets.
I think for something like AROS the combination of support for ELF and such a small community would mean that if someone wanted to do this for AROS the easier path might well be to add support directly in the loader.
A company does not need to reach Amazon size to be viable, despite what all the VCs try to hammer in your mind. A 20M revenue company is perfectly fine. So is a 2M one, or even a 200k one.
Violating sovereign airspace matters to the US only when it's done to the US. Because to the US, the US is the only sovereign country in the world. All the others can and should get routinely violated by US planes, if you believe US media. So yeah, get out of here.
Also would like to know. I can't even listen to the full songs, and assuming I have to pay. I can't imagine buying 120 million songs, so it has to be some collab with iTunes.

Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now
I was having trouble loading GMail in Chrome. I wasn't sure if it was my spotty internet or the browser acting up so I gave Firefox a shot. And behold! Firefox opened it in a jiffy.

What impressed me most was that it was able to import saved passwords, bookmarks and websites history from Chrome pretty quickly. Previously, I had imported these to Chromium based web browsers (Brave & Edge) but was afraid that it might be an issue for non-Chromium browser like Firefox, but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't.

Some really cool observations in first 30 mins of using it :

1. It opens websites really quickly, much faster than Chrome

2. All parts feel really customizable. I was able to get rid of the Firefox View tab really easily (I may explore it in the future because it seemed quite interesting to send links from phone to desktop). It was also easy enough to customize bookmarks bar to only show up in new tab.

3. Extensions ecosystem is thriving . I was glad to find my old favorite: Dark Reader. But I have also found a new favorite - Tab Stash. I also found an extension to download Youtube videos - Video Downloader, something I didn't find in Chrome

4. Clean look that gets out of your way.

I had given Firefox a shot in the past and had found Chrome to be a better performing browser at the time. But this time, Firefox seems to really have clicked with me.

I'd be glad to learn of any other cool features and extensions that y'all might want to share.
