> That's not what counterculture is. Counterculture is counter the mainstream culture. Which is more mainstream in the US, (ie, in media, art, products, government, businesses, etc): suppressing LGBTQ people or giving LGBTQ people a platform? It's pretty obvious if you're being honest. You appear to be suggesting that it counts for nothing because some LGBTQ people get disowned by some conservative or religious people.

It could also be their outdated picture of "mainstream" culture is a fossil embedded in the self-justifications of the current mainstream culture.

Some people will forever pretend current-year is the 1950s, because, not because they want to live in the 50s, but because they see themselves as the people who are abolishing it.
Wow, it's nice to know that police protect and serve ducks.

Would be cool if they also protected and served people, but I guess ducks are a little easier to work with.

I am not “anti remote work”. That would be absurd (and, personally, hypocritical). But I strongly believe that remote work isn’t good for some teams, and for some roles.

No remote work for anyone: bad policy.

Everyone on every team can work remote: sometimes a bad policy.

That’s my position. A lot of people who strongly feel they should always have the option of full-time remote work object to that.

Much of today's "counterculture" I suppose was more mainstream back in the 60s. Outsiders, delinquents, atavists and reprobates of many sorts are grouped together with, and generally accepted by the prevailing counterculture, but do not necessarily represent the counterculture's core beliefs and practices. They do, however, share a common antagonist.
Okay, but this is propaganda in the original sense of the word.
I've only found one wasp in my figs. I wonder how many eggs were in the fig when I ate it.
A very suicidal lesson. What will happen if following that trajectory is that whenever you get unlucky enough, you're forever locked in to that reduced capacity.

And yes, instead you could help and network with people instead of being an asshole. Usually if set up right, both sides benefit. Though it's not easy to do so right at all times.
It's almost like you deliberately misinterpreted what I said so you could make some vague point about Seattle which has nothing to do with SF.
On Dutch television they showed that sun-dried tomatoes often contain insect parts. When drying in the sun (in Turkey) they attract insects and washing does not remove everything. No reason to worry was the message.
Well, yes, but only if the FCC doesn't insist on them meeting standard EM interference rules.
You are using a service, that must pay for infrastructure and personnel. How do you think a on-off purchase would cover it. Your salary you want every month on your account, but for the others, nah, not so important

I broke it. Got back a raw error from the OpenAI API.

Edit: Looks like I had a character that wasn't properly quoted in the JSON from my resume, which I just copy/pasted from LinkedIn. When I got rid of all the LinkedIn cruft it worked fine.

Didn't seem to account for the job description though -- looks like it just summarized my resume.

On sports teams (who plays baseball anyway?) you have a limit of people who can play at the same time. This does not really happen in a company.

If the expectation are easy to miss, maybe the salary of higher ups should be more strongly tied to meeting them. You can keep that half L9 at half of the price, while still making that worse guy that might improve over time.
>Google doesn't want experienced, highly capable engineers sitting around wasting their talents on dead-end projects, and they certainly won't be rewarded for it.

It's supposed to be management's responsibility to pick projects that will be successful. If a project turns out to be a dead-end, that's either management's fault, or just the way the market worked out and no one's fault (you can't always predict what's going to be popular or successful). And if a project is clearly a dead-end, then why is management wasting money on it instead of canceling it and moving the talent to better places? Basically, Google's system just rewards people for being lucky.
Scenes and animations seem to be picked at random. Just watched George microwave something in the kitchen while having a conversation about something totally different. They really nailed it. Seinfeld is truly a show about nothing. Thinking back to countless scenes of Kramer wandering into the kitchen to pour a bowl of cereal and spout some nonsense that would loop back on itself in the last scene of the episode in some tangential way
There are a few exceptions to this rule however. For example saponins. One of the most common plant poisons in the natural world that might kill your dog. If you ever read an ethnobotany piece and it mentions that a certain plant is used to kill fish in a pond, it's likely a saponin-rich plant (which also means it's likely to be good to make soap out of). But since these compounds are so common humans have evolved specific enzymes to break this down and they leave us mostly unaffected (indeed some have even been turned into important drugs).

It's kinda like lignin. When wood first evolved, there was nothing that could break it down. And for thousands of years the world was "littered" with wood from dead trees until fungi finally learned how to break it down. I'd say plastics might be the next lignin as we see more and more organisms already learning to break it down, but there are too many different types of plastics that I doubt all of them could be broken down

I think the point I'm trying to make is that the "toxicity" of a chemical or compound is often in proportion to how much time the rest of the ecosystem has had to evolve a way to deal with it
Twitter is going into code Red when news organizations are going to start charging Twitter for use of their site...

AFAIK propaganda is used with a positive connotation as well. It's just debatable if you interpret a specific act of propaganda as positive or negative, depending on the objective of the message.

The term began taking a pejorative or negative connotation in the mid-19th century, when it was used in the political sphere

“what did this person do to redefine the industry this cycle?”

I know that you are not at Google, but I can't help reading this as: no surprise that Google has a graveyard of 'industry-redefining' products.

Well, that explains the quality of some of the stuff coming out of Apple and Google.
They barely bought more than last Q (500M more) and 3 times less than Q4-21. Nothing extraordinary with this buyback, they even have a few B authorized remaining.

The only surprise with the buyback streak since last year is how poorly executed it was. They dumped $45B ahead of anouncing a decrease in DAU, then trickled after it tanked the stock.
In addition to what others are saying about the naturally cool and stable climate, SF also has reliable water through long term water rights in the Sierras, fairly high land translating to low flood risks compared to a place like NYC and less likelihood of the sort of major storms that drive storm surge. Some of the surround peninsula is obviously more at risk, but compared to cities in Texas or Southern CA it seems like it will probably do pretty well

Presumably rents will first fall for places that are hardest to find tenants for. That's probably the most expensive or the worst places that have a smaller pool of customers. Half-decent places where the rent isn't totally crazy will fall later if they come down at all.

Reducing prices is a selling tool. There's no need to use it if you're already getting customers.
You’re the person who has decided that discord is a “chat app”. Discord themselves say:

Discord was started to solve a big problem: how to communicate with friends around the world while playing games online.[1]

It’s not too much of a stretch to see that they would see streaming as a logical part of their core functionality as a result.

That said, maybe it’s not the app for you. I totally get why someone would want a single-purpose tool - that’s generally the way I go and I’m not crazy about discord personally having used it a lot, written bots for etc. It’s not reasonable to criticise them for making different decisions from the ones you would make when they are going for a goal that you don’t share.

For the "Reorder floats + Delta", I wonder if he did anything special to prevent floating-point errors. Floating-point operations (e.g. minus followed by plus) do not necessarily round-trip because their results are not exactly mathematically correct, i.e. sometimes y + (x - y) != x.

Otherwise, the compression is lossy.

Project Description: A product discovery app that features highly curated lists of products via guides and an endless tiktok-esque feed to discover new and exciting products. The idea came from my wife always having trouble finding me gifts for special occasions like birthdays and currently searching "gifts for men" always suggests shot glasses, knives, or beard kits, which are things I don't want haha.

What do you want to be tested: Live data is not in the app yet (there's about 50 test products for now), trying to nail the experience first since it's a PWA and testing on various devices is hard. If you sign up, your data will likely be deleted by morning time as we're not even alpha yet. Just really curious to see if it works well on a variety of real world devices and also validate if it's something people would use.

The wasps are how figs pollinate. They're meant to die there. So if you're eating figs that lack a dead wasp it's likely because it's had a hormone applied to it to induce fruiting despite not being pollinated

There is nothing wrong with the quality of AM radio.

It transmits almost the same audio bandwidth as does FM. The problem is the cheap and crappy radios designed for the USA market which have flooded the market.

Whatever, try getting a high-quality AM radio and having a listen. For example one of the upmarket SDR radios with variable IF filters.
I'm honestly not sure about that. I work closely with defense stakeholders both on the Hill and off the Hill, and a lot of the conversations about Chinese power projection sort of seem eerily similar to the kind of conversations I heard in the defense industry surrounding Russia's next-gen fighters, SAM, and heavy tank capacity in the 2013-18 time period. As we can clearly see in Ukraine right now, a lot of that was clearly paper tigers. And no offense to the PLA, but they legitimately have a weaker organization and R&D apparatus compared to even post-1991 Russia. Most next gen PRC designs in the jet space still rely heavily on IP and expertise from Russian vendors like Mikoyan, and they are increasingly left out of IP sharing agreements as competitors like Japan, India, Taiwan, and Australia start inking single use agreements with vendors in France, Israel, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine. That doesn't mean the PRC's defense industry can't innovate, but it makes it harder to productionize or solve very complex problems that require very deep and interconnected supply chains. This is a big reason why the Treasury, DoJ, DHS, State, and DoD have been targeting 2nd and 3rd degree of connections vendors and businessespeople with sanctions when dealing with Russia and China since Obama 2 - it makes it much harder to scale out and productionize weaponry or policy in a manner that directly harms the US.
Both of those people are to some degree con artists. They take both credit and money as middlemen for running companies. In Musk's case, it's even more visible as every venture he directly managed (and was not managed out of by someone smarter) has failed, yet he has billions of dollars for his quality con.
And he used a plenty of unearned means to kickstart his con.

Bezos is a bit harder. I would have to look in detail on his earlier history.

Your perception of money really isn't consistent with the vast majority, I'd imagine.

faking a real voice could be construed as fraud unless they have prior permission from the actor. Their likeness cannot just be copied and used. At the very least, trademark infringement?
That’s a rather smug and ignorant way of looking at somebody pulling themself out of what was basically a ghetto.

Gruber is an Apple sycophant which means his articles rarely make sense to people not in that headspace. I tend to flag his articles when they show up here because the obvious bias means the articles are more opinion pieces than facts.

I remember a study, a couple of decades back, that found that people who watch soap operas estimate they have more friends than people who don't. I figure the lizard brain knows they're people, but doesn't know they're actors in a box. Just thought that might be interesting to you.
Well, that “not so great language” is very much an opinion.

This refers to the meeting join link and the last time someone sent me a link like this it was not a delightful experience. I ended up mixing up organisations and accounts.

An example of a good experience is joining a Jitsi Meet meeting because you don’t have to sign up or do anything to join (my comment is on the join experience only). It remains standalone and does not try to link you to anything. There is no time to mess around when joining a meeting.

Regardless of what I think about this technology in particular, I want to respond to this line from the second comment: [1]

> on the contrary, it must be developed.

No, it mustn’t. There’s not a gun to your head, forcing you to do this. You want to develop this technology. That’s why it’s happening.

Technology isn’t inevitable. It’s a choice we make. And we can go in circles about whether it’s good or bad, but at least cop to the fact that you have agency and you’re making that choice.

That depends on how much AI-cover-letter-app prices are. If it's expensive enough few people will use it.
I've had a lot of trouble with plotly maps and too many layers and moved to folium, which isn't easier, but results are more stable. (it is easier for simple plots, when using `gdf.explore()` and you can keep adding layers with `m = gdf.explore(); gdf2.explore(m=m)`

With that being said, tidyverse is much easier than pandas for EDA (though there is something to be said about the less stable API when it comes to production)

Plotly also exists for R and works good too.
https://dopt.com

Project Description: We’re building a tool to design and run user state machines (we call these ‘flows’). It’s comprised of a shared canvas for modeling and versioning user flows, SDKs for instantiating those flows per user, and a platform to persist user flow state that handles migrating users between versions on the fly.

The SDK gives you hooks to manage state for each node (we call these ‘blocks’) and Dopt handles any side effects, transitioning all dependent blocks for you. Reactivity is also built in: those side effects on the user state graph, along with any others (e.g. updates to user properties or API invocations) are propagated in real time to the SDK.

We started Dopt because we’ve seen teams struggle when trying to build experiences that are contextual to what a user/workspace has done (e.g. product onboarding and education flows). Doing so requires modeling user state graphs in the DB, migrating the schema/data across versions of the graph, tying in product state to state outside of the product, and lots of back and forth with product and design.

What do you want to be tested: We're looking for more folks building with Dopt during our private beta. We're giving the product away for free during this period and cutting discounts for folks that build with us now once we go GA.

Contact: info@dopt.com (or you can sign up for the beta on the website and reply letting us know you found us on Hacker News to skip the line)
