I'm no lawyer myself, but there's a reason lawyers usually tell their clients to shut up until they've had the opportunity to go over the details, and then to shut up until the case is over. If there's even a chance of taking legal action, detailing such stories online if they can be traced back to you (how many pregnant women recently got fired at this company? I'm willing to bet it won't be a large number).

I assume it won't be too much of a problem in this case as the case resolves around OP's wife rather than OP himself, but if this stuff does end up in court then any statements that can be traced back to OP may be used against them in court.

In a just world, you can share your experiences and opinions freely. In practice, things like "reputation damage" can lessen the payout or be grounds for a counter lawsuit if the company is scummy enough.

OP is free to say as they wish as long as they don't go into libel/slander territory, but freedom of speech does not guarantee freedom from consequences and words you vent in anger can hurt your case in court.

It's up to OP to weight the importance of sharing their experience and opinions against the possible impact on a theoretical court case, but I've never heard of anyone getting a worse settlement because they didn't share the details before legal consultantion got involved.
Grift?

While there is some valid discussion that needs to be had about the short comings and application of AI (LLMs, neural nets, diffusion models, etc), lumping it to the out right Ponzi scheme of crypto seems either disingenuous or ill informed.

Can you elaborate on how they are similar so I can better understand your point of view?

I use VS 2019 in Parallels with SSRS/SSIS and .Net Framework projects with little issues. I did have a problem with IIS Express breaking after each Windows update (fixed by uninstalled it and downloading the most recent from Msft) but that seems to have fixed. Now that Rider has an ARM build I use that for my 1 remaining .Net Framework project and it works fine.
What's the difference between keeping state and looking at the chat history?

Keeping state is something a human would have to do, because for a human, it would be very tedious and slow to re-read the history to recover context, relative to the timeliness expectation of the interlocutor.
Homeless shelters? Seems to be a heck of a lot cheaper and more scalable than putting people up in 300-500k condos?

But then we burn all that hydrogen and use up all our oxygen. CO2 may be a greenhouse gas, but plants pull the oxygen back off and return it to the air.
Portugal. We actually have two habitation licenses for the property as a whole, as there are two extant habitations there, both ruinous (rebuilding one, the watermill, this year) and there are basically no code requirements for historic structures, and any other structures on the same land under 100m2.

Ask HN: Workflow for Prompt Engineering
I am curious to learn about others' workflows for prompt engineering LLMs like GPT-3 -- how do you keep track of your prompts, how effective they are, how changes to the prompt affect the overall output, etc?

Thus far I've been taking a fairly simple approach of pasting them into a text file and writing my observations, but I wanted to know if there were any tools/workflows that make this process more efficient.

There are pretty serious costs involved in hiring globally, especially due to managing the tax implications but that's not the only reason. Usually you can get around this by hiring foreign contractors instead of employees, but not always.

There are companies that specialize in handling this for you, though. Some of them are on the list! Most of the others probably contract someone to handle it for them.
+1 for Lit. It seems like they're mostly recommending that you use TypeScript and a build system, but you can 100% still just pull the library from a CDN with native JS modules [0].

It leans into a lot of the web components spec so the library is pretty small, and the templating system is just ES6 tagged template literals parsed by the browser's DOM parser and any embedded variables are updated dynamically [1].

My company was forced to move from our previous G Suite plan to Google Workspace. In order to keep the same monthly price, we went with Business Starter.

Now each user can only share a Google Doc with 5 non-Google users per month. This limitation seems entirely artificial and designed entirely to push people onto more expensive plans.
How can you manage such numbers? And...why?
I usually recommend starting with How to Code: Simple Data, then How to Code: Complex Data. Then after that CS50 or some class in a language like Python, Java, Javascript, etc.

The reason I really like starting with the How to Code series is because it really teaches how to solve problems with code in ways that apply to any language. And the projects are reasonably fun. The simple data ends with creating a graphical space invaders game.
I've detected equal amounts of personality, rationale and reasoning in all the chatbots I've interacted with, or seen interactions of.. The amounts are zero..

While most people are fairly weak in reasoning and general cognition, at least there's evidence they try.. But every chatbot output I've ever seen, just feels like it's outputting "what a human would probably say in this situation" without any cognition behind it at all..

I've spent many hours with chatgpt, the more I try to make it do something, the more it shines through how it's just a dangerously confident bullshit-generator. Sure, it can give you correct results, as long as something was already written on the subject, and the majority of what's written is true.. But it can't.. DO anything with it.. it can condense it, sometimes correctly, sometimes not.. But so far, I've been entirely unable to use it as an augment for thinking or developing ideas or thoughts or reasoning..
remix has some good built-in APIs for creating SEO-performant pages. everything is server-side rendered for starters, but it's also easy to add meta tags for each page in your react component routes
Yeah, my feeling here was that it's sort of tautological: if GPT predicts "a", then it must then predict a word that would follow "a" and not require "an" (and vice versa). And if you think about it from the opposite direction: if it's working out a response that is eventually going to have "apple" in it, then all the data it's trained on is going to cause it to predict "an" even before it needs to predict "apple".

(Admittedly, all this ML/AI stuff is still beyond my current level of understanding, so I'm sure my thinking here is off.)
The idea that the reason something was made defines its current reason for existing seems demonstrably wrong, though.

Consider the microwave magnetron: invented to mess with radar, but now in every kitchen.

Maybe the reasons haven't changed in thisinstance, but holding that as a rule seems pretty incorrect.
We haven't had this type of AI in the hands of the public before. It's the first AI that I've seen in-which feelings are a large component of how it responds. We're basically beta testing a teenager.

But I get to refuse to turn OAuth into a cross-cutting concern in my application. You won't see refresh tokens referenced in the UI code. And I get to use a 3rd-party library that solves 90% of the pain for me.

I strongly disagree on the ratio. If you're building Mastodon client, most of your effort should be spent on features and UX, not on OAuth and the like. If half of your time is spent on those, either you're at the beginning of the project, or you're at the beginning of your career. Or maybe you just care about engineering itself more than the end product.
The Windows x86 -> Windows ARM works with any 32 or 64 bit apps unmodified and is a part of Windows itself. It's basically the Windows version of Rosetta 2. I use it to run an ancient Windows app on my work M1 MacBook.

Parallels comes into play if you want your Windows VM to have GPU acceleration. If you don't care about that you can just use UTM for free to run the Windows ARM VM on your M1/M2 MacBook.
> Water vapor is a greenhouse gas

No. Or rather, yes, water vapor is a greenhouse gas, but it has a halflife measured in days, compared to CO2, which has a halflife measured in decades. So, for all practical purposes, water vapor can be deglected when talking about global warming.

"decertified" and "rusting hunk of twisted metal at the bottom of the ocean" are two different things. Apparently the US government agrees, people like Victoria Nuland made a point to express their satisfaction that it's the latter now.

brew install bash has always worked for me.
The biggest blocker for me using systemd-boot is that there's no signed EFI binary yet so you can't use Secure Boot (unless you want to enrol your own signing key, which is inconvenient and I'm not even sure is possible on cloud providers.) If you use Ubuntu, Canonical provide a GRUB binary signed by Microsoft's shim.
If they went somewhere when they weren't empty they can just sit there until they are picked up and replaced.
Thats not really what I was trying to say.
I am saying that journals not only aren't perfect, but that they are actively bad. People seem to think that peer review and publication is something entirely different than what it is, and therein lies the harm.

Every paper is basically already a blog post, and people think that they are not.

My proposal isn't to do nothing, but that most papers should be freely published in a forum similar to xariv, and feedback should also be freely published in xariv.

This is far better than the current system where papers take years to be published, still aren't vetted for validity, and any criticism takes years to be published if journals are even willing to publish it at all.

Google's office tools are much nicer than Microsoft's web ones. I'd say they even give the desktop versions a run for their money.

And Meet is amazing. The only video conferencing system I've used that actually works reliably. I recently moved from a company using Zoom to one using Meet and the difference is insane. Makes a step difference to the quality of remote work.

I presume they can do it because Google owns their own global network and they can use high QoS on it for Meet data.
> Maybe engines would ingest it, but they wouldn't even notice.

Someone once told me, but I can't remember whether it was an aviator or an ornithologist, that a bird with a metal ring on its leg could cause total destruction of a jet engine. Of course they don't attach metal rings to birds any more and haven't done so for a long time, and I'm not sure how big the risk was even with the chunkiest of old-fashioned rings.

(What about a bird with an arrow stuck through it, I wonder? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfeilstorch )
It's not illegal today. Grocery stores have already been testing it and it's common in other industries.

> For example, ZipRecruiter, an online employment marketplace, indicates that it could increase profits by 84%
by experimenting with personalized prices (Wallheimer
2018). Other players, such as travel sites (e.g., Orbitz, HotelTonight; DeAmicis 2015; Mattioli 2012), retailers (e.g.,
Amazon.com, Home Depot, Staples; Streitfeld 2000; Val-entino-DeVries et al. 2012), and even grocery stores (e.g., Safeway; Clifford 2012) have also reportedly begun implementing personalized prices for their customers based on
individual characteristics.

Here's an article on one grocery store's early efforts:
https://risnews.com/safeway-offers-personalized-pricing-prog...

This is all just another means to get people accept that prices should be allowed to vary on an individual basis. I'd very much like for this to be illegal, but companies stand to make money hand over fist so I doubt it will happen.

I heard one similarly depressing story from someone who left a well-known and well-liked (here) company, but it's not my story to tell.

Wind and solar are a great source of electricity, but not everything is easy to electrify right now.

Also —- we have massive amounts of human and physical capital invested in digging flammable stuff out of the ground. If we can redirect some of that away from breaking the planet and into hydrogen, that’s a huge win, even if it’s not what we’d go after if we were designing our energy mix from scratch.
> Water vapor is a greenhouse gas and it'd be important to do the math to see how much better it is vs. other alternative fuels.

With about 71% of the earth's surface covered by water, which constantly emits water vapor due to evaporation, the amount of water vapor added by also burning green hydrogen would likely be minuscule compared to the amount from natural surface evaporation.

The huge advantage would be no carbon dioxide emissions from burning green hydrogen.
In my experience, server grade stuff tends to be significantly more reliable (as long as it doesn't become infested with insects or something odd like that :p).

Meh, bit of a knee-jerk reaction. Literally every bad thing that happens in one's life, triggering a complaint, could be met by the response: 'then just vote with your feet.'

Bad marriage? Find another partner. Bad employer? Find a different job. Crappy friends? Ditch em and try another.

Of course that's an option that should always be on the table. But I hope you agree the first approach is to try to fix things, to try to start a dialogue, to raise awareness and come up with solutions. It adds little to the conversation to just say: 'why don't you just ditch it altogether?' It's lazy and in fact it's often bad advise to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Apple provides tremendous value to its customer base (hence the trillion dollar market value, that isn't just from consumer charity or corporate monopoly, but mostly from real value) and having to pay $8 a month for the 0.1% of Apple users who build Apps but don't distribute and cannot be bothered to renew a weekly certificate, is generally not a good enough reason to exclude yourself from using one of the world's most mainstream personal computing & communications platforms.
It was possible to opt into a continued free plan for legacy free G Suite users. Not sure if you lost that option by upgrading to a paid plan.
But then you have to deal with a VM on top of the host macOS. IMO it's way easier to install brew, install an up to date copy of bash (which is more recent than Ubuntu has), and coreutils, and just use macOS.

Did this restructuring fire/lay off other employees at the same time ? If yes, then it will be difficult to prove that she was let go due to pregnancy unless she has concrete evidence.

Regardless, if she feels that she was let go due to her pregnancy, talk to an employment attorney for advice. They may tell you if your case has merit for a potential lawsuit but remember that these are extremely hard to prove and burden is on your wife to prove. The company just has to show that she was laid off with others as part of "restructuring".

"I am livid". Yes you are right now. But even if you talk to an employment attorney and say you may have a case, you have to calculate whether the potential payout will be worth the hassle since legal stuff is nightmare and you probably want to focus on the pregnancy and not legal battles. So, take time to cool off and then decide whatever it is you decide.
