Apple isn't the best example. For instance their Safari development team is already severely underfunded, there is barely anyone to fire.
My grandmother chose to do this because euthanasia wasn’t legal in South Australia.

She was starting (barely) to lose her marbles but the real issue was that, at 97, she had outlived all her friends! Also she had moved into an old age home a year before, and didn’t rally like being around, in her words, “old people”. Eventually she decided she was really just hanging around waiting for a centennial letter from the Queen, and that wasn’t worth waiting for.

It’s not like she did’t have family: a couple of her kids, many of her grandkids and great grandkids, but though she had a visitor pretty much every day, everybody younger was busy doing stuff and she felt like she was in their way.

This issue of out living everybody you know is a bit haunting.
I would start with the many great books on sales. There’s really a lot of human psychology that goes into it. A lot of that psychology is fear driven.

That said, cold calling is a pretty low value marketing tactic. Any kind of warm lead will be massively more responsive to a call.
I think that viewpoint comes from how shell scripts are used - many people write shell scripts, but once they reach a certain level of complexity, they reach for python or perl or some other "more real" language. So, people don't want to create complex shell scripts. So they don't put in the time to learn the complexities of the language.
I believe you missed the part where the codebase has become impossible to work on. This isn't change "for change's sake", it's "because if we don't, this product is dead".
Tell HN: Zoho is careless with your inbox
Example 1: Zoho has some kind of “smart” folder system enabled by default but they don’t tell you. I added my email account to my desktop email client and many emails never got through after that. I later discovered they would get filtered into sub-folders such as “marketing”. But since I never configured those folders on my email client I never saw them. Further still, they were sometimes misclassified. For example I was communicating with a contractor on Upwork and I never got email notifications that he had sent me a message because Zoho marked all Upwork emails as marketing. (I finally figured this out after logging into the Zoho web portal and deleted their dumb smart folders).

Example 2: I got an email reminder today about a scheduled Zoom call. Oddly the time was different from the original invite but I figured the meeting time had just changed.

Turns out it was an email reminder from Zoho Calendar (which I don’t recall installing). I didn’t look at the sender - only the subject line and content of the email (because of course a Zoom reminder is being sent from Zoom right?) Nope! The reminder was from Zoho Calender and it used times in GMT instead of PST, which is why I thought the meeting time had changed. So I missed an important meeting.

It seems like their product team is trying to increase usage of their non-mail products and it’s super sketchy.
> Some web haters counter with the idea that if we had a common runtime / sandbox, native could target any OS as well.

But if you had a common VM, runtime library, and sandbox that was feature-competitive with browsers, you’d basically just have reinvented the browser platform, but without the ecosystem of existing code and developers.
In my experience, the main issue with setups like that is IoT/convenience devices being subtly broken because of all the firewalling. Then you suddenly find yourself trying to figure out why you can't just airprint from your ipad or why your guest's iphone sees a HomePod, tries to activate airplay, but it just silently fails. Really fun to debug, especially when you need that document printed right now or when you have a party going.

They actually teach the opposite, since humility doesn't bring in funding.
IOW, for most UI designers on current software products.

Very few changes I see these days actually improve anything; they are merely change for the sake of providing evidence to justify the UI designers' salaries.

If something already works, and we know how to use it, there had better be a damn good reason for changing it, because you are burdening thousands, millions, or even billions of people with yet another entirely unnecessary learning task in our already over-stressed lives.

We are far past the time when the new version of X will be seen by orders of magnitude more users than the previous version, so it'll be only the minority that have to relearn, and the majority will enjoy the improved UI (assuming that the new stuff is actually an improvement; BIG assumption). Today, most of it will burden existing users.

You want to make the colors prettier, add a dark/night mode, round the corners, highlight things a bit better? Wonderful. Just don't mess with the organization.
Germany. I wasn't exactly laid off, just left in a bad time. Zero applications, just recruiters reaching out, I started 8 processes, 4 are still ongoing, on 2 I got ghosted, but got 2 offers so far which I gotta answer till next week.

EDIT: I got 18 years of experience, web full stack (react/vue/golang/rails/C#/haskell) + devops, if that matters.

Part of 'lying' as a company is to make sure that your internal data sources tell the same story, but just never invest in correcting any inaccuracies that aren't in favor of the story you want to tell.
No, I’m not. The semantic difference you insist upon is pointless.

The mechanism of a flu or covid shot is exactly the same as any other vaccine; the only difference is the degree of efficacy due to human mucosal immunity not having evolved to fully block infection from respiratory viruses.

Google doesn't need good will; they'll always be able to get commodity labor. As long as they take care of a large enough number of senior folks they will be okay. (Unclear they're doing this, ofc.)

Companies like GitLab are different; these layoffs seem extremely risky long-term. But they're unprofitable and capital has gotten a lot more expensive, so they might not have much of a choice.
The story of the Crave cookie company is the exact opposite of this one. They had a perfect product in cookies, super high margins, easy to transport and make, not perishable and easy to market through social media. Their tech was abysmal, I recall the founder saying customer orders through the website would get written to a text file that people would open and read. There wasn't a database.

I like the contrast between great tech with no market fit and comically bad tech with great product market fit. I think Crave cookies is worth quite a bit now.
Let's not understate it either - 13 invalid addresses in Fort Collins that Ars was able to find. I wouldn't expect this is isolated to Fort Collins. And indeed - "30 residential addresses on Quartz Loop" which were falsely listed as served were found too.

Also, this is data used to participate in federal grant programs, so it's not like an "oopsie!" kind of thing.

Depends on what you mean by "tolerable". Oral antibiotics leave you on the toilet because they go to the gut. The method of action doesn't change the systemic affects though.

If anything, oral antibiotics are more tolerated by the body because half of them are eaten by stomach acid. With an IV, you're putting your kidneys to work.
So it's also a cargo cult. Appease the fed gods and they'll turn the money faucet back on again.

While I agree people should have all the options on the table, I disagree that it is a bad way to go. People do this in states and countries with voluntary euthanasia as a matter of personal choice, and I don't think we should look down on the practice. I think it would be my preferred way to go.
Being aware of the slant and typical quality-level of a source isn't ad hom, it's the basics of being able to navigate the written word.
> ChatGPT is so good at this form of interpolation that people find it entertaining: they’ve discovered a “blur” tool for paragraphs instead of photos, and are having a blast playing with it.

“‘blur’ tool for paragraphs” is such a good way of describing the most prominent and remarkable skill of ChatGPT.

It is fun, but so obviously trades off against what makes paragraphs great. It is apt that this essay against ChatGPT blurry language appears on The New Yorker, a publication so known for its literary particularism. ChatGPT smears are amusing, but they are probably also yet another nail in the coffin of the literary society. Nowadays we are not careful readers; we skim, skip, and seek tools to sum up whole books. Human knowledge is in the ability to produce the particular and the ability to recognize it. For philosophers such as Iris Murdoch, careful attention to the particular, to just the right adjective in describing a friend, is a moral attention.

With Google we took the job of storing quotes (and other decompressed writing) and made it the remit of the machine. But we still asked for it back uncompressed. Here with ChatGPT, we are beginning to accept back a blur, because the Declaration of Sock Independence is immediately, Tiktok-speedily funny, and no one’s reading the original declaration anymore anyway.
That's a neat trick! I use a similar one to create positives for casting but never thought of using it to protect heatsinks during potting, thank you.
It's an excellent learning tool :) Doing the backward pass in the same style would be a great tool for teaching.
No, and there are far more disingenuous engagements from recruiters and startup founders. It seems like a perceived 'glut of senior talent' is driving this behavior, at least that is my conclusion.
Fabrice Bellard has a project that does precisly this. And does it extremely well, apparently. Previously on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27244004

Apparently it leads the compression of enwik9 ( http://www.mattmahoney.net/dc/text.html ) . Not sure why it isn't eligible for the Hutter Prize, there's some speculations in the previous discussion but I don't know whether they're true.
I'm in the US and would love to hear about the UK expefiencd.

What's it like when being laid off in the UK? Do you get guaranteed severance and some breathing room from the stress of rent or mortgage payments? Do you worry about access to high quality Healthcare?

Overall, do you think being in the UK makes you less worried that a layoff will leave you broke and homeless?
It's certainly gotten worse, but this is still only true for some kinds of searches. It depends on the subject and how much good content is available.
90% of the time CoPilot-bros stop at this point without giving any good examples of how this post-autocomplete monster helped them. Autocomplete works quite well in most use cases - it is low effort, free and most importantly, ethical. CoPilot on the other hand jumps through so many hoops to generate something marginally and arguably better, but at the cost of what? This is exactly like the Search Vs ChatGPT problem - do you want a deterministic, algorithmic, fine tuned experience or some random probabilistic, overconfident crap.
I often wonder what could have been if cyclone got more adoption. I don't really think "rewrite it in cyclone" would be any more successful than "rewrite it in rust" but "incrementally port it to cyclone" could have been faster.

If you already have a nice grinder and espresso machine, may I introduce you to the wonderful world of diy coffee roasting?! Sweet Maria's[sweetmarias.com] sells green coffee beans and nice roasters. I use a Fresh Roast SR800, which roasts 1/2 lb at a time. During the pandemic I purchased a 50lb bag of green coffee beans for $225 and never had to worry about running out of coffee for the rest of the year.
Yes, and then I'll evaluate that answer by your reputation, either socially, organizationally, or publicly. I will value that summary differently if you are a random person on the street, a random person who works at a tech company, or a person wearing a name tag that says "Donald Knuth, Stanford University".

ChatGPT has little reputation of its own, and produces such a broad swath of knowledge, it becomes "Jack of all trades, master of none."

Ask HN: Hate Musk but Love ChatGPT?
I am wondering if there is any correlation of users who refuse to use ChatGPT because it is partially owned by Elon Musk.

It would be interesting to see a dataset of people who trash Twitter but use ChatGPT and praise it.
This is the biggest fake rumor that keeps on spreading. They don't even have the internal infra setup to support this.
at the very least, check which version you're on. The auto-updater is one of the parts that's unreliable.
I agree. The East Asian languages need work to offer different scripts for Japanese and pinyin for Mandarin Chinese. A volunteer sent me the sentence deck for these courses.

The single word translations are also in beta and often incorrect for the East Asian languages, because 1) words aren't separated by spaces, and my word segmentation algorithm v1 is crude 2) the words are fed through to Google Translate api and not a dictionary.

I hope to improve on these aspects in the future. I mainly tested the app out on the languages I'm studying (Spanish and Russian), and the popular European languages seem to work well based on my experience and user feedback. I made some quick adaptions to get languages like Japanese to work, but as you're seeing, there's a ways to go for those.
My mother did this when her cancer got too bad. She was strong willed but in end, some of her last words were asking me to give her an OD of the morphine in her hospice kit.

If you go through hospice with someone please discuss the options before the end. I wish i had asked her for her wishes beforehand because when she was weak it was hard to know how lucid she was, and the grief clouds your judgement.
> All that said, using the word "only" as you did indicates a certain level of economic ignorance.

I wasn't using "only" to say it's cheap from some absolute perspective, just that it's way cheaper than was claimed. For example, if someone says an Airbus A320 costs about $500,000,000, it's not economically ignorant to respond that no, it "only" costs about $100,000,000.
I was a senior dev at a big tech and got laid off in November. I have applied to hundreds of places. Not a lot of responses. I have been doing interview preps the whole time. It has been very demoralizing and I am thinking of switching careers to something else. I have been considering skilled trades. I like carpentry in particular.
The dead time when at work, benefits work. The dead time when at home, benefits you.

Please note that I said "most people", not "all people". Most people should aspire to have family caring for them at an old age as the best possible situation at that stage.
> "Market" is just another way of saying "Power differential."

Oh come on. This is a cynical or Marxist take, but it's pretty obviously untrue. A flea market, farmers market, FB marketplace doesn't have a substantial power imbalance. A market may have a power imbalance, but it is not required. People can exchange goods/services at equal power, and routinely do so. And if I understand economics correctly, that's the purpose of a "free" market: no artificial power imbalances.

Knowing more is better than knowing less.

Are you the unicorn person that can learn everything on the program without the "incentive" of failing if you don't?
Personally, I'm finishing my 2nd bachelors right now, in law - an area that has nothing to do with my current job and probably won't have a lot to do with it in the future. But when it came to what's a better use of my time - learning a new discipline or gaming my evenings away (it's a remote degree), doing the degree felt like the right (albeit quite painful) choice.

So unless you are joining a new big thing startup, there is no good justification not to finish what you started (especially if you already paid for it).
I'd be careful about definitions. It is one thing to dial a random phone number like a telephone pollster, it is another thing to do enough research to know it is plausible that a certain person might be receptive to an offer, it is a third to have a personal referral. I'd consider the first two to be "cold" calls even if the second one is a lot warmer.
What kind of disingenuous behaviour have you experienced?

I hate starbucks and most coffee places, it's so expensive, usually tastes bad, and making coffee at home is quick and painless.

But I would definitely buy coffee from a vendor like this. What other captive markets could you sell coffee to ? Where do people wait in line a lot ... Texas DPS would be a gold mine.
>Most of them seem to be doing it for power rather than for love of the content of their sub.

In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people.

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself.

It is the Iron Law of Bureaucracy that the second group becomes more powerful than the first- and this is why the simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies. Because, by that law, it is.

I've had to file an informal complaint against my local cable ISP because they told me over the telephone multiple times they couldn't find my home on the FCC's broadband map. 2 weeks after filing that complaint I had 360 feet of shiny new coaxial internet service.

So yeah, I can see all sorts of sketchiness going on with the FCC and their map and how they gave out money to sketchy LLC's for rural internet service.
Look people in the eye.
> Wouldn't you rather have real monitors/screens, a solid wired connection to a network and a real keyboard and mouse? Yea it takes space and time but its way better.

I do for most things, but better is personal.

Saying that OP's setup is overly convoluted or better is entirely missing the point -- it's what they want to do for enjoyment. Personal taste doesn't need to be justified.
I've definitely seen morels go crazy after their host tree dies - whether by fire or a saw. I also agree that they can likely be partially saprobes, so maybe this adaptation is related more to the latter than the former. I was just pointing out that I think it's far from settled that "fire is good for morels" is true in general, especially for mega fires.
I think the completeness and self-contained-ness more than offsets the limited scope. One of the problems in the ML field is rapidly multiplying logistical complexity, and I appreciate an example that is (somewhat) functional but simple enough to fit on a postcard and using very basic components.

I’m a product designer. Contract expired, and it seems really hard to find another. LinkedIn shows me most of the roles have 150-250 applicants… Getting silent treatment even for roles where I seem to be 100% perfect match to their requirements, even overqualified :-) Not trying to brag, but realistically I’d estimate my work & experience puts me among top 10% of product designers. But the market seems to be tougher than ever before. Lots of designers better than me in the market.
