The majority of people I've seen at the parks have intentionally opted in to tracking measures for over a decade now. People literally pay extra to give Disney more information, because it makes the trip a lot smoother. It's part of the fun of Disney honestly, living in their bubble for a few days.

Anyway, just seconding your point - not only do most park guests make no effort to avoid tracking, but many want to be tracked, because it helps Disney do a better job. Sure this might mean they spend a bit more, but if it also means the already expensive trip is a better experience it's worth it for a lot of folks.

Luck determined the circumstances I grew up in, I didn’t control than. My choice to lift myself out of that environment has nothing to do with luck at all, that was explicitly a deliberate choice I made. My mechanism for accomplishing it had nothing to do with luck either, I moved out of home (and subsequently removed myself from that environment) by getting a job as a bartender.
My work M1 Mac is buttery smooth. Shame about the mess they've made of Window management and focus stealing crap.
>It's literally in the name: involuntary celibate

I've always taken issue with that term. Any guy who bathes, doesn't say mean things, tries to make himself more attractive, doesn't consider a woman unattractive because she isn't an 8+, and learns to strike up a conversation with the opposite sex will find someone sooner or later.

I don't know much about them, but people presented as incels generally seem unwilling to put much effort into any of that. If I had sat at home all day, played video games and really let myself go, does that make it involuntary or just lazy?

Senior/lead engineer, 10+ years experience. Currently looking for a role at a tech/product company after a few years as a tech lead in consulting/agency land. Have focused extensively on communication and management skills in my previous role however I am primarily (but not exclusively) looking for IC/senior roles to refocus on tech skills a bit.

Strengths (IMO): I've previously been the go-to for solving tougher problems. Have uplifted engineering standards and practices. Good communication skills and ability to build rapport with team members and client stakeholders, also able to grasp bigger picture/strategic context of projects.

I've been lurking on HN for ages and hardly ever see job postings in AU (I think I'm the only commenter from Sydney so far!) so if anyone out there is hiring I'll be very interested :-)

Thanks!
I think this might fall into the ‘yeah, obviously’ category. You are going to amazon for the singular purpose of purchasing something. Everything will be an ad. This might not seem so overt at the beginning, but it is ultimately how it will end up when vendor get to pay for placement and write their own copy.
That doesn't explain why the bullshit is often completely true and accurate. Sometimes it's wrong, sometimes it's right. But when it's wrong it produces an answer remarkably realistic and close to a right answer.

This indicates understanding... as a form of understanding is still required to lie and it is definitely required to tell the truth. Chatgpt is simply not trained to differentiate truth from lie. But the truth does exist somewhere in that neural net.
And incidentally, because the Hubble space telescope is widely acknowledged but not officially recognized as a Keyhole/CORONA turned the other way around, that's why it happened to be an excellent fit for the shuttle cargo bay.
Maybe I'm misremembering the spy satellites using this (keeping the images secret is harder is you transmit them), but Lunar Orbiter 5 worked this way, so we had the technology in the 60's

[edit]

The lunar Orbiter used an adapted E-1 camera from SAMOS. The E-2 and (canceled) E-3 also used the semi-dry development process and photomultiplier readout method.
True, but you can choose your agriculture. Did California really need to be growing 80% of the world's almonds? Almond need a lot of water.
I think we just have to accept that some people like s-exprs and some people don't. What people have against parentheses is beyond me, but I also can't explain why I find languages without them so ugly. Either way, the discussion is pointless if you assume LISPers tolerate the parentheses but would prefer something "better", or if you assume everyone is only opposed to the parentheses because of FUD. People literally just have different tastes!
What if I don't want modern UIs and want to go back the old days of spinning skull gifs and flames?

It seems the right solution would be bonus-based compensation. If they redefine an industry, massive bonus, if they’re just a really good engineer, then get normal really good engineer salary.

Or a demotion. Is that ever an option in companies, or do they have to go straight to firing?
> like proof that diffusion models memorize heavily repeated training examples being used as evidence they aren't creating stuff at all and just copy pasting

This proof actually demonstrated the opposite. In that paper it was found that something like only 11 pictures from millions were recoverable. They were only recoverable because those handful of pictures were accidentally duplicated in the training data many multiples more than other pictures. Even pictures which were accidentally duplicated dozens of times were found to be unrecoverable by the trained model.
Some plugins (such as PHP) are not free, and the free ones have some limitations (no integrated Django support in PyCharm etc).
This article kinda sucks and sounds like it was written by a complete NIMBY. I don't have the energy to do a proper full rebuttal, but I'll just respond to one representative dumb line from the article:

> For one thing, dining sheds tend to take up parking spaces needed to attract customers, Cutting-Jones said.

This is absolute bullshit. In the space it takes for one car to park, you can easily have a dozen or more patrons dining there. And these streeteries are located in dense cities (the article's title image is clearly Manhattan), where, guess what, the VAST majority of people aren't driving to go out for dinner.

Also, yes, it's winter. Of course outdoor dining is less popular (though I'm still routinely drinking outdoors on sidewalk tables at my favorite bar). But you know what? Winter won't last forever, and the outdoor dining will be bustling again soon enough.

I'm so tired of hearing these same lame car-centric takes over and over again. Let's just leave everything as parking and never have anything nice on the streets. I bet this guy would get rid of sidewalks too if he had his way.
People might also be forgetting that they might have asked to be laid off. I had a person do this a few years ago when one of my high performers told me they were leaving soon and wanted a comp package so they could take a vacation and still get paid.
Ah - I read “not an issue” as “they are not concerned with.” Thanks for setting me right. :-)
No, it's the other way around. They were saying that some directors (managers of 30+ employees) held an official position of "L9 IC" - since L9 IC is much more respectable than a director, which would be something like L6 on the management track.
I wrote the post because I wanted to, but I didn't choose to want to.

I think it's about time to make that "feature" available to most people. AKA... just unblock all extensions.
Getting rid of the cars certainly will. There's lots of streets in e.g. Manhattan that simply need to have the on-street parking removed, and some of them even need to have the car lanes removed entirely (the most obvious candidates are 32nd St in K-Town, Broadway between Times Square and Union Square Park, those few blocks in Little Italy with all the restaurants, and similar).
You used to be able to pin it to a corner-- it was removed in 10.10 (IIRC along with a rewrite of the Dock itself) and never came back. Which is unfortunate, because a top-aligned Dock (on one of the sides of the screen) is way more predictable than the center-aligned Dock; pinned items never moved (unless it overflows and items start shrinking) when the Dock was top-aligned.
You get to choose to:

1. stay in school, or drop out

2. pay attention in class, or not

3. do drugs, or not

4. commit crimes, or not

5. go to college, or not

6. do something useful, or watch TV

These all have a massive downstream effect on your life. And you chose.

> And you're letting go roughly X% of people at all levels. Some L9s were gonna have to go, same as some L4s were gonna go. No one is immune from a layoff. Indeed having people that are immune is legally problematic.

You have a valid point here, the Airtable data shows 5 VPs were also let go.

This is a killer rebuttal to insipid low-thought articles. I'm stealing it.
I would hazard a guess that Japanese is the second natural language the author has learned. When you learn your second language, you see the aspects of a language that you never explicitly learned with your first language, and additionally are able to connect that knowledge back to your first language.
> People still do things and decide things, they are just not the conscious author of those actions and decisions

Nothing you have said supports this claim. It's perfectly possible for you, the way you are today, to be largely the result of processes you didn't choose and didn't control, and also for you to do things and decide things that you are the conscious author of.
Windmill looks cool! I've always wanted to write something like Huginn [1] available as a single binary.

Can I ask, what were the benefits of writing a new workflow engine instead of building around Temporal?

I think it’s less an issue with the thread and more an issue with people in general. The amount of people who view themselves or want to be viewed as a member of a dominant mainstream culture that is trying to force others to assimilate to the mainstream culture is incredibly small. Almost everyone prefers to view themselves as the plucky rebels fighting for survival and what’s right. There’s more than a few former hippie boomers who still view themselves as part of a counterculture sticking it to the man as they use the money they get from their cushy VP of marketing position at a major bank to sue any developers that try to build affordable housing near their gorgeous McMansion.

My aunt went from burning American flags and marching in support of interracial marriage and civil rights to clutching her pearls about Marilyn Manson ripping up bibles and gay marriage becoming legal, but even as she supports censorship and state mandated injustice, she will always view herself as the protestor that fought against censorship and state mandated injustice.

Even I find myself occasionally saying things about zoomers that sounds just like stuff my dad used to say about me and it’s a lot easier to rationalize it as “no, TikTok is actually hurting kid’s attention spans, it’s different this time” than admit that I might be acting just as silly as he was when he said exactly the same thing about my Game Boy.
Very dystopian. It works well as farce, if it were one.
It's still luck that you had:

1. The ability to move out of your house. There are places in the world where people don't have as much freedom of movement because they are not as democratic as countries in the west.

2. Been hired as a bartender. Need I say that this is not a choice that you made, but by your then-employer, or that it was possible for such a job to exist in the first place because you found another town with enough economy to create such jobs, while many other places in the world are not as fortunate?

Good for you wherever you are in your life right now, but I hate to break it to you buddy--you didn't do everything yourself, and you were lucky to have an environment that enabled your growth and to have other people to play a part in your success.

You chose to write the post. You're not a hapless victim of your wants.
I'm not forgetting it; it didn't happen, not as far as I'm aware. Voluntary separation was not a part of this layoff as far as anyone knows.
>A hn populated by chatgpt bots would be close to valueless, even if they produced output indistinguishable from the median commentor.

False, it would be even more valuable to the typical HN user. (You and I are not typical users.) The typical user lurks and reads comments only. If there were more discussions on more topics for the typical user to read and learn and make up their mind about things; then that would be valuable, even if those discussions were algorithmically generated.
LLM work in only one way: try to predict what's said next. ChatGPT talks like a human because it has been trained on text written by human. What it "says" has no basis in reality, it doesn't check an internal state. It could say "I feel X" if this is what it predicted.
Someone addressed this on Quora: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-jobs-start-at-Level-59-at-Micro...

Says that levels start around 50 but those lower numbers are for non-engineers. Not clear to me why it doesn't just start at 1 though.
The equivalence you're making is that dynamically-typed large code bases are just as difficult to get into as statically-typed large code bases.
Obviously no one in this thread ever disputed the relationship between socioeconomics and crime. This is a flimsy, transparent attempt to move goal posts.
I think Colin's a rad programmer, he works on EdgeDB which is absolutely my favorite datastore I've ever used and I think Zod's fine if you want to use it. But I don't agree with your premise. I don't, in practice, find the way Zod asks you to think about data compelling. It's probably because I think specifically in communication between systems; making the particulars of the interchange format central to the act of writing the thing, for me, keeps top-of-mind the necessity of both ends having an identical understanding of the allowable semantics. (Similarly, I've never used any Typebox features that don't map to JSON Schema, and I've never felt the need to.)

In the same vein, have a look at John McPhee's Encounter with the Archdruid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encounters_with_the_Archdruid

A third of the book follows David Brower (Executive Director of the Sierra Club; Glen Canyon Dam opponnent) and Floyd Dominy (US Bureau of Reclamation director) as they float the pre-dammed Colorado River.
How would a comparison like that even be possible.

Ironically, you're the one treating stealthiness as a boolean value here:

> there is definitely no guarantee that F-35 will keep it's stealth ability in the future.

Of course as radar and computer systems improve it's likely that stealthy airplanes will become detectable from farther away, but they're not just gonna lose their stealthy characteristics entirely, in a boolean manner!
Could be a mistranslation thing. They lock into my vintage Japanese stuff really nicely in such a way as to make me think JIS.
There’s generally a recommended temperature to keep the house at, a good balance. Else move closer to the equator if you want to bop around in a bikini.
A lot of languages pointlessly make a distinction between a statement and an expression. I can’t imagine why anyone would want that.
I was thinking something like that, bearing in mind that humans can't remember every single detail about a conversation either.
They've used magic bands for overall guest flow in the past with some success but you're probably right that they use phones now. With the new fast pass system (Genie+) and the virtual queues they introduced for the most popular rides, it's pretty essential to be using the Disney app while at the parks now.

I did notice that they've gotten better and better at automatically assigning ride photos to your account and things of that nature over the last 5 years. I assume it is a shift to the phone tracking because the magic bands definitely didn't have the best resolution for that kind of thing.

They still market magic bands somewhat heavily though and they're still the primary way people tap into fast pass lane, some of the restaurant reservations, etc. Plus they can still be used as room keys and to charge purchases to your room if you are staying on property.

It might be more of a psychological thing than a tech thing at this point, but I feel like magic bands will be around in some form for quite a while still.
I sympathize with them to some degree. I'd like to think that when I'm their age, I'll be able to walk out of the front door on my own terms.

That said, as you correctly point out, obscene is the word of the day. I worked with these people for nearly 10 years, I know entirely too much about their personal histories and lives. They're each multi-millionaires, they're each fully capable of retirement today... Or, hell, many years ago, for that matter. They're going to be just fine once their bruised egos heal.

Reading through The Neuroscience of Intelligence it seems there's some evidence in support of the efficient brain hypothesis, which from what I took away indicated that there were physiological differences in the amount of energy used by the brain in a given task, and the general principle being that this differential modulates the amount of time individuals are willing to engage in the task and this leads to cumulative differences over time.
> must simply be choosing to not make the choices that you did

And they are. I see a lifetime of people making choices.

Human intelligence is tainted with lower forms of intelligence from less evolved animals. The brain is structurally a monolith where structures responsible for advanced cognitive brain functions are built on top of older brain structures from millions of years prior.

Primitive animals are less social, less collaborative and cannot collaborate in large groups. There are vestigial behaviors from them that arise once in a while in humans. It's time to evolve and press the mute button on lower ape behavior. Humans cannot do it reliably.

Automatically detecting and flagging selfish individuals that cannot work in groups and actively sabotage their group by preventing the best ideas from prevailing is something worth trying.

The reason everyone is seeing therapists is because some people are determined to ruin the work experience for others. We can do better.
