I rarely encounter abstractions in the wild that are as nicely "sealed" as the definition implies. Looking at an open box of crap and understanding why it's doing something other than what the author (or you) intend is a valuable skill.

(No idea if this new model of "Ask ChatGPT or Copilot to synthesize a solution and then tune that solution" provides a solid opportunity to improve that skill yet, however).
Blatant propaganda which seems inappropriate for hacker news. The language in the article is offensively biased.
I'd be interested in seeing how we can incorporate AI into interviews. Example being entry level software engineers using AI to jam through a small project with tests in a limited time span. Lazy engineers won't check the work while others will use whatever AI generates as their draft and correct whatever bugs that are in it.

I believe that we should be taking advantage of this productivity boost across the board.

That being said, the ultra dense morons who think "oral" can't be extended in a special case to simply mean "without extra time to think" (which is what is is, mostly) are typically not experienced with these exams.

The parent teaches CS1 and is not likely to have been given a formal oral examination in their likely short career (these are usually reserved for PhD qualifying and special MScs).

Exams can be anonymized when graded to reduce teacher bias. You can't do that with oral exams. In addition, you can't get a second opinion for an oral exam if you suspect you've been graded unfairly.
Thanks for the tip. But so far it wasn't that helpful. Some misdirects are really frustrating. Level 4 is a nice curveball. Level 5 had me rewatching the wrong source material. But it's fun. Great work you did there.

One can make this argument based on the fact Tom McDonald's "Ghost" went to number 1 and he was the sole writer, producer and musician on the song.

Having read many, many, many answers to this question, I don't think that a good liar has a particularly easy time answering this question -- or certainly not in a way that gets them further consideration!

And yes, it's many hours of work -- but the work itself that we are doing is quite hard, and if someone washes out in the application process because it feels unduly arduous, we are likely not a fit for one another.

I teach to first year students. We have graded programming assignments they can do by themselves, where they can cheat in all sorts of ways, but I honestly don't care, it's their responsibility to learn. Then we have theoretical exams, where there are also questions about programming (but we don't check if the code has perfect syntax). In one course the exams are oral: excellent tool for assessing students, but very time consuming, in another it's written: more efficient, but more shallow.

I like the idea about teaching how to use AI, but it has to be a tool among others.
Let's unbox that a bit. In what sense are one's peers cheated when an individual cheats?

If the course were going to have 20% A-level students and now has 50% A-level students, what has been taken from the initial 20%? They were still going to be able to put on their résumé "4.0 GPA from Suchandsuch University."

As a matter of cross-party practice over many years, UK sales tax (VAT) just goes into the government's general funds, same as income tax, national insurance, road tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax and so on. There is a strong aversion here to hypothecation. That is: sales taxes are not used to benefit the poor, particularly. They are used to finance defence expenditure, tax cuts for bankers, and fees for pharma and consulting companies, same as other tax revenues.

I think the only exception is local property tax ("Council tax"), which partially props up the funding of local government. But that's capped, and most local authorities charge the maximum. So it might as well be paid by central government, out of the general fund.

[Edit] I take your point about regressive/progressive. The Vox article didn't use the term "progressive"; they said "broad-based". It's right that a tax-hike should hit everybody; but it's also fair that it should hit high earners harder than the poor, roughly in proportion to what they earn.

Wealth tax, as a tax on savings and property, is iniquitous.

Won't these agents also be influenced or even biased by the prompts they're given? Maybe I am missing something, but when a misleading link based on a suboptimal prompt is formed and reinforced via recurring prompts, how can we make sure that we are getting back the actual connection of pieces of information?
I doubt killing the golden visa will alleviate the housing problem as it does not remove houses from the short term rental pool. The real solution would be to limit short-term rentals to some small (< 1%) portion of total stock per a neighborhood/postal code. The license for these would be given out by lottery each year. Enforce with heavy fines for operating without the license...like 30x nightly rate of the unit.

Not everyone has the same primary language. Especially at universities.
Yes, I think saying something is $199/night when the minimum you can pay for it is $250/night is lying.

Can you think of another word for that? It’s an untrue statement about the price, that they know is untrue. I just can’t think of another word to describe that other than “a lie”.

If the hidden fees were optional, I could see it being a closer call. If I can uncheck the cleaning fee and actually get $199/night, then it’s not as much a lie. This is the budget airline model. A super super cheap flight, but if you want to put a bag in the overhead bin that’s an extra cost. I think there’s something somewhat deceptive about that practice, but I wouldn’t call it a lie.

But, really, if they say a cost is $199/night when the minimum cost is $250/night and they know that to be the case, how can that be anything other than a lie?
> Using a web browser as your native app's rendering engine is what all the cool kids are doing these days, so in a way they were just 15 years ahead of the curve.

As others have said parts of explorer were using mshtml for the user interface. However it wasn't just Microsoft. Third party vendors used mshtml as a component to render their UI! You can find samples around still, e.g
. https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/6845/Implementing-snap-...

Most memorably, Norton Antivirus 2003 (I think) was one such application. The entire UI was in fact written in HTML with lots of callbacks into c++ code.

So in many ways... Electron isn't all that new of an idea :)

In simple terms, rather than always using a cell it takes over to make as many copies of itself as possible which then circulate and get dealt with by the (possibly boosted) immune system, HIV can hide itself in human DNA and let the normal human cell division process create a reservoir of apparently normal human cells which can produce copies of the virus in future

This article is definitely written for someone who is already aware of what Strong Towns is going for.

But I think that you may be missing the point of the article, which is simply criticizing the heading of the first graph: "Net Civilian Public Investment, percent of GDP". The article is merely claiming that that metric isn't valid, while assuming that you, as a reader of Strong Towns, already believe that too much is being spent on the creation of new infrastructure.

Justifying that point is basically the entire purpose of the rest of the website.

Their work goes beyond the kernel. For example Mesa (the user space part of the Linux GPU stack), boot tooling and installation tooling.

And of course the incredible amount of reverse engineering.
I'm interested in seeing something like that as well. The controversy is entirely "should we spend syntax space on that" and "if so, which part of the syntax space".

There are some proposals going around that would solve that problem.
> and for reasons only known to microsoft, this software is no longer able to run on modern windows.

The reason is most likely... because the driver relies on APIs that were insecure and removed in the XP-Vista transition!

> The vendor for the instrument has no incentive to update that software either; they'd rather you dish out another half million dollars for a new sorter.
> There are hundreds of instruments like this in any given research institute, all because Microsoft decided unilaterally that software that ran fine 20 years ago is clearly useless and doesn't need to run anymore on modern hardware that receives security updates.

So it's Microsoft's fault that the vendor won't update it's software?

Didn't this "elite institution" get a support contract for the machine?

Would they expect the driver and software to still work if it had been written for a PowerMac G5, running Mac OS X Panther?

Would a binary compiled 20 years ago even have a remote chance of running on Linux?
>> I think it's quite likely that at least one of these 5 people have... something in their body that could be transfected into another person's cells and cause an active HIV infection.

No, they definitely don't. It's well known[1] that people without detectable levels of HIV in their blood cannot transmit HIV to other people. That is true for people who are simply receiving normal treatments (see: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/science-clear-...). It is certainly also true for these transplant recipients.

Edit:
[1]: Specifically, researchers have never observed transmission from someone with undetectable viral load, despite many large studies searching for such an event
At what point does "not keeping up with the cheaters" become "There is a more efficient way to do the task and this student's grade reflects they are choosing the inefficient approach?"

I'm reminded of the stories of employees getting busted because they were assigned a job so trivially automatable they either did automate it or they used some find-labor service to delegate it for a fraction of the cost out of their own pockets, who are then accused by the company of "not working."
We're working on and looking into a few different solutions right now:

1. Split the payload into chunks of 8k bytes and send them as separate messages to the server (in progress, will be released in the next few days).

2. Use a new table as an event queue where the trigger will write data and our server will consume it. We do want to incorporate an event queue soon so this approach would solve for that as long as users are ok with the system writing to a new table.

3. Use one of the Postgres logs to stream events instead of LISTEN/NOTIFY.

Let me know if you have thoughts on any of these approaches!
That's the end goal.

CS programs seem like a different beast. At my alma mater they are always growing the cs faculty pool. At certain schools you can really work with some giants in cs departments. People who developed the algorithms you are using today with a piece of chalk. A lot of the new hire faculty seem to come from industry too, secured their bag already, and are jaded from working in industry. Sometimes they come from those industry "skunkworks" R&D type of teams where you'd asume everything should have been just peachy for them, but clearly not if they are looking for academic positions with their stacked resume.
Getting something in return for trading something is not a 'trap'. Here's what actual Africans think about China:

https://www.quora.com/Do-Africans-dislike-Chinese/answer/Jea...

https://www.quora.com/Is-China-colonizing-Africa/answer/Anth...

'A trap' is what the Anglosaxon financial establishment did to my country: Forced us to privatize our national assets to starve our government of GDP so that the government will fall deeper in debt. Which is why that's called a 'trap' because you cant get out of it. So much that the government was totally deprived of revenue in merely a decade after having been forced to privatize all national assets through 'free market'. Then this was used to force the government to destroy labor protections and business regulations to 'boost the market', turning the economy and the society to scorched earth. But foreign investment did excellent in this environment, especially corporations located in the US and its satellites.

There is no such thing in any deals with China. It does not intervene in any country or its governance when making deals. You trade. You sign a deal to trade them X amount of minerals. They sign to give you whatever you want. That's it. No other conditions attached. They don't even make any commentary about your economy, leave aside your ideology, your system or how you should be doing things. That's why all the countries prefer China and BRICS instead of the US and its satellites now.

What's appalling is that how the very financial establishment that has been made famous as the 'economic hitmen' smears other countries of what it has always been doing and people like you repeat it without putting any critical thought into the process. No wonder you people are still paying for Iraq War Debt.
Open AI "selling" itself to Microsoft just proves that they themselves don't believe in this becoming a profitable and useful product short term. They made some great marketing moves and cash in on the investments. See Magic Leap.
For millions of IPs I put them all in redis as a key, and wrote some Lua code for nginx. The lua code would do a key look up in redis, and store the result of that lookup in cache. If the IP was in redis as a key, nginx would let the request time out. No error of any kind.

I also had to update that IP blacklist daily so that’s also why I chose redis.

Probably better ways to do it nowadays but that’s what I did like 8 years ago and it’s still one of my favorite solutions ever.

Also part of why nginx and redis will forever be two of my favorite technologies alongside Linux.

> Rowling was a progressive darling for years until she expressed disallowed sentiments outside of her fiction writing.

Really? Talents based on heredity, the portrayals of the Dursleys as fat, the renditions of other cultures, the questions of whether the goblin bankers echoed anti-Semitic stereotypes, the domestic slavery, etc. got criticism for years. She got some kudos eventually for saying Dumbledore was gay but that was late and never in the books, so it seems pretty minor to hang that theory on.
I'm not sure what part of my comment you're responding to because I wasn't referring to anything related to backwards compatibility. I was responding to the other commenter asserting that biotech companies have somehow made an incorrect judgement call by purchasing certain types of instrument. In reality these vendors assume you're going to keep the system air-gapped forever, some don't even (officially) support joining their control PCs to a domain. Anecdotally I've found that in a lot of cases unless you're dealing with strange custom drivers usually the vendor-provided PCs can be replaced with new computers running the same control software (sometimes in compatibility mode if needed) and still operate the instrument.
Interesting. The video system that I use is a cheap one (and doesn't require internet access, but optionally supports it -- I don't even have it on a network of any sort at all).

Replacing the hard drive in it couldn't be easier. You do have to remove four screws to get into the box, but once there, you just unplug the old one and plug in the new one. When you power it up, the box notices that the hard drive is new and asks you if you want it to be prepared for use (with requisite warnings about losing any data that may be on it). If you click "Yes," it does what it needs to do and starts using it.

Aside from opening the case, my grandmother could handle this without any problem at all.

I simply assumed that better systems than mine would be as easy, but perhaps I assumed too much.

From the top YT comment:

"Pebblesorters value creating heaps of pebbles that have a prime number of stones in them, and are horrified by heaps of pebbles with the "wrong" number of stones. We humans can understand the rule behind their moral intuitions (better than they can, even, since they seemingly haven't realized the rule they're following), but even though we understand what's "right and wrong" from their perspective we still find sorting pebbles a pointless waste of time.

Many humans think that any advanced enough artificial intelligence will be moral and good, because it'll be smart enough to understand right from wrong. And an advanced enough AI will understand human morality - maybe better than we do, even, it could perhaps deduce and codify the rules that humanity has been stumbling towards over our millennia of moral progress. But, despite understanding, it won't care any more than understanding pebblesorter morality makes us want to sort pebbles."

Yeah I'm feeling uneasy. Even if all the feedback at work is okay. And the company is in the black on top of that.

There's a general frantic nature to management lately. Every project starts behind schedule which in turn means there's constant needling to go faster. Lots of "we think this should have gotten done faster" from managers who don't have enough information to even have that opinion. They clearly have pressure from their boss to "up velocity."

Sorry to hear that, it sounds like a tough situation.

My suggestion would be to speak with a professional career coach or mentor (I am a career mentor and coach myself). It sounds like you have a good background, but something is going wrong in the hiring process.

The hiring process today is complex, and many job applicants will get auto-rejected for simple reasons. When you work with a coach, they can show you which red flags are in your profile or CV/resume, and you will be able to fix them together.
