> is there any reality where ticking sound with his tongue equals being able to drive stick around a paddock. I dunno. I feel like this doesn't work on this scale.

I don't know if I was particularly harsh here. I just envision driving around, with the windows up (or down, doesn't really matter), and being able to click and have some kind of "vision". The image made me think it probably didn't work there, but in a different scenario, sure.
It has nothing to do with it being genuine or not. The number of submissions have increased by 100x and nearly all of it is crap, but crap that can't be easily filtered by automated tools. The bots aren't making stories that people want to read, but they are drowning out all the stories that people do. The philosophical and pragmatic implications of AI being able to replace people are interesting, but that isn't what this is - it's just spam by low-effort grifters.
Ow you're right I wasn't aware of that
While it's nice to know these laws exist, what would you really do with it? The company proved it has a terrible culture. Doesn't seem worth it to fight for a job with them.
In my area it’s still a sellers market, we struggle to get folks. Yes, industry articles talking about the continued shortage in area X. So we have hired folks who have had shorter tenures / been laid off etc. I think sometimes folks can be a bit blind to why they’ve ended up getting laid off especially if it’s been repeatedly because it can become obvious.
Yes, legislative actions will magically get rid of racism and discrimination.

Hot take? It's literally a data serialization language. Configuration != data serialization for, like, all of time.

No one is mincing words about YAML being used for configuration rather rampantly. They're saying it's a shitshow, and I agree.

> Configurations will almost always be serialized into some kind of struct

No, this is in fact a fairly modern phenomenon due to what I can only imagine is fear of compilers. The grand tradition is for configuration to be parsed and interpreted, which is rather distinct from serialization. Take your editor, or version control software of choice, or nearly every file in /etc, for example.

Standardizing things can be good, sure, and for all the warts YAML is at least consistent, usually, but it's a trend in the wrong direction.

Treating configuration as data is a Choice. I can hear them saying now "oh but being able to template or write a program to manipulate or edit configuration is so much better" -- take a look at how git config works. You can edit interactively with the CLI, read/write arbitrary fields, and yet it's not structured beyond INI style "key = value". There's no schema, and yet nothing is lost. There's certainly no Norway problem.

I'm not sure about that, but I do think that phrase is going to work its way into my resignation letter soon.

Progress here is good - however Seattle is so deeply fucked across so many axis of policy, that I am not sure this is a good focus at the moment.
Skepticism is valid. Caution yes. But wholesale avoidance and dismissal of any utility? Bah humbug, you! You know we can definitely use this. How much does a paralegal cost these days? You can have instant rotating 24/7 paralegal with ChatGPT. Does a partner (or snr associate) look at the paralegal's work to ensure the paralegal is not just "hallucinating its answers" OF-FUCKING-COURSE it does? So there's no fucking difference. You got to get that through your head, man. You can use this stuff, and it's good.

Legal safety thing is why you have to get a lawyer involved, but the same thing is true for any juniors work. I mean, this thing is a fucking junior it's not a genius, but the fact that it's a junior at almost everything makes it a kind of genius and one that you can use. So that's the fucking hype, man! if you are like misrepresenting or not aware of the hype, or you just wanna dismiss it, well bah humbug to you! because you're missing out. But I hope you give it a try because it's wonderful. But it's not a panacea and I think we need to be cautious, but not about the stuff that maybe you're being cautious about; we probably need less of that caution and more of the caution of, "well, how the fuck is this thing going to bite us in the ass like you know 18 months later, and what's the second order effects of how this is gonna upend society?"
> Except that half the code was made-up. One of the API calls that it was using doesn't exist (I wish it did!)

I've also been using ChatGPT to generate code for a specific library, and had the exact same experience. It uses an API that should exist, but not the one that does exist.
> All of that, save the artillery strikes, is also true of the US in western Ukraine: presence of military personnel; significant influence on military strategy; provided weapons, political, and economic support.

The US has no comparable presence of military personnel in Ukraine, its armed forces have not taken control of any region of Ukraine. Furthermore, the aid that 50+ countries provide is in official support of the internationally recognized government and not of a mix of thugs and Russian intelligence operatives who have violently stormed a government building.

> And your own source acknowledges that the violence began before the Russian presence:

Yes, and Russia "had provided weapons and other military equipment to separatists on a significant scale from the earliest days of the “DPR” and the “LPR”".

Ask HN: Highly technical and want to continue in research, but how?
I am highly skilled in computer science, computer vision, signal processing, and machine learning. I love doing research and publish a few papers every year where I am the first author.

I recently received a large raise which makes securing funding a bit difficult. My grant money doesn't go as far which means I dont have as much time to spend on each problem. Essentially, I must find another grant to keep myself funded. I hate this.

I have asked HR to lower my salary but they refused. They said I can charge overhead if I am short on money but I think this is a bad long-term solution especially as layoffs are in swing.

It seems that with my skillset, I am no longer encouraged to work on research, but to help supervise several projects simultaneously to help younger folks with their research. I have experience with this and its quite rewarding but the younger folks simply dont have the math chops to create the robust solutions I have been able make throughout my career. I usually have one "brilliant" idea a year which leads to a big breakthrough hence my salary raise. This has only come about because I allocate larges amounts of time to sit and reflect on a problem. But, with having to manage more projects to stay funded, I no longer have the ability to work within such an environment. I have to believe I am simply at the wrong organization and that someone will hire me.

I am 39 with a PhD. I feel way to young to give up on research yet! Any thoughts on how to proceed or where to look for a new position?

The "legitimacy" of the Supreme Court has always been in question, especially if they draw conclusions that people don't agree with. Law is subjective despite whatever fabulistic narratives that may suggest otherwise. That's why there's nine justices and not just one that makes "the" objective conclusion. There will be no crisis if the courts decide against whatever conclusions you feel are more legitimate.
Not a lawyer.

- How is this implemented?
- How is caste defined under American law?
- Is there an enumerated list of all castes?
- How does one demonstrate under American law that person A is of caste X and person B is of caste Y?
- How is caste "assigned"?
- Can one switch castes? Is ones caste immutable?
- Does one register a caste like a political party?

This feels like a massive green field of legal questions under Western law.
Maybe this is just worse ;-)

This.

As far as California is concerned, you can't drive down the I-5 or CA-99 without seeing cattle and other livestock (and smelling them, with the windows up!).

The talk of "windowless buildings, out of sight, out of mind" is straight up woke propaganda with no basis in reality.
Well, I think being precise in virology is a good thing. For example being infected with SARS-CoV-2 and having the disease COVID-19 are not exactly the same thing, and matter quite a bit when writing a prescription for Paxlovid. You can't (or aren't supposed to) write off-label prescriptions for EUA drugs, so it does matter. Apparently they changed the EUA recently though, and Internet rules lawyers think they can prescribe it to people who don't have COVID-19 at all, so it might not matter at this point.
Fantastic. I do hope Seattle also attends to what used to be kind of core govt functions for qol items. Been a bit bummed at big govt performance on crime, education etc
Most iOS updates are invisible. The ones that aren’t cause some consternation. My parents were both thrilled when I showed them how to put the address bar back at the top of Safari.
+1 to @sillysaurusx's comment. I'd like to add on a recommendation to read The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen. It goes into the trials and tribulations of creating a product dependent on network effects.

More than just a problem of no longer having an "artificial" influx of users via HN, you will need to figure out how to build what Chen calls an "Atomic Network" of users who are self-sustaining on the platform. The first step to that end will be figuring out how to attract the "hard side" of the network (i.e. people who find good papers and post them). What keeps them coming back?

I'd highly recommend considering what the smallest network of users would be that could sustain something like Paperlist and what features they might want.

Some questions that might be helpful to get started:
* What incentive does a given user have to return to the site?
* How would a user be drawn back to the site, e.g. RSS, notifications, etc.?
* What incentive does a user have to contribute to Paperlist over submitting to HN, reddit, etc.?
* How do you attract a new user the to site? Put another way: how do you increase the "virality" of Paperlist? E.g. why would someone link to Paperlist today instead of Arxiv?

I hope this is helpful.
Are you just here to sneer or do you have an actual point as to how effective this legislation is likely to be? Anything from obviously effective to utterly pointless laws can be derided as an attempt to ‘magically get rid of’ a problem.

It’s not about genuine, it’s about quality. The chatgpt stories are poor and there’s tons of them to go through.

If the stories were great, or even if .001% were great, then I think the magazine would be happy as they’d be able to put out more great stories.

On the topic of dvc, does anyone have any experiences with dagshub (https://dagshub.com/) that they are interested in sharing?
UniFi technically supports it but you have to be willing to edit your gateway.config.json to do it, which is very error prone and super easy to screw up. So yeah, it’s still pretty awful. I switched to a plain OpenBSD box as my router because I hated UniFi’s IPv6 support so much.
Law doesn't do anything "magically." It does things by shifting incentives and establishing punishments.

You can't legislate bigotry out of a bigot, but you can minimize the suffering they cause other people. This is what anti-discrimination laws aim to do.

Ask HN: YC co-founder matching is bad
Today was a holiday and I spent most of my day going through profiles on YC co-founder matching and I feel like I wasted the whole day.

The dating profile matching style doesn't work for someone like me who is interested in reading other people's ideas and not what are their hobbies and how many countries they have visited. I only saw one sentence buzzword style including mostly block chain and ChatGPT describing their idea.

I'm wondering is a there a monthly or periodically post on HN where we could actually learn about other people's ideas or people who are just in development phase or maybe just researching and are looking for co-founders.

I'm wondering what does everyone think?

Thank you evolution you cruel mistress.
I think a lot of people have a very self oriented view.

Managers have issues too, particularly good ones who care about their direct reports and getting projects done without death marches. The incentive structure is off. They are rewarded for the wrong metrics, things like number of reports (top tier metric and is a primary basis for getting titles like senior manager, director, VP, CTO, etc), which encourages growing your kingdom. Politics, credit for accomplishment when you're only a proxy for work and don't have control of all the constraints.

It's not uncommon to find yourself in the position where making the right call will be bad for your prospects for internal growth. Which means when you don't corrupt yourself, after a time you dust off your resume and try to make the next step at the next position instead of internally.

Still, you work with where you are and what you have and do your best. I want to be able to take a hand on the business side as I'm tired of projects falling apart due to bad business underpinnings I can identify from the outset. That means playing the management game from the inside so I can get to CTO where I hope to be able to make a bigger difference.
The point is that they always wanted to make it hard for people to get in because they believe they have enough people in here and they are all the talent they need. Letting people in is a privilege granted to a few special people, not the norm, and it’s fine if it’s hard and painful.
This has been very true for several years now, unless you need a kitchen.

I just wanted to say that this is an elegant and beautiful definition of a library:

"A library is a database of unstructured documents with structured metadata, which might need to be indexed, queried, and accessed in many different ways."

Thanks for that.
Agreed— “resort fees” are totally insane in places like Vegas and Hawaii. Even at hotels that aren’t actually resorts! Just because you have a pool and a gym doesn’t make you a resort!
Of course the patient ultimately decides, but you are really really downplaying the risks of stem cell transplantation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7202970/

Based on their 2010 alloHCT volume, centers were categorized as low-volume (≤40 alloHCTs; N=42 centers, 1,900 recipients) or high-volume (>40 alloHCTs; N=41 centers, 9,637 recipients). 100-day survival was 86% (95% CI, 85–87%) in high-volume compared to 83% (95% CI, 81–85%) in low-volume centers (difference 3%; P<0.001). One-year survival was 62% (95% CI, 61–63%) and 56% (95% CI, 54–58%), respectively (difference 6%; P < 0.001).

You are literally getting a coin flip of surviving past 2 years after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. If I was given the choice of HAART and living a mostly normal lifespan, or maybe die with a coin flip chance in 2 years, I would pick HAART, no contest.
There is no possible positive justification for the existence of castes: It's plainly just a softer version of slavery. It should be of the utmost importance to not only prevent the spread of castes, but to utterly destroy them as a concept.
A lot of them sound pretty close. Sleep for example is something they know how to get working, all that’s left is someone to come up with a plan to integrate it nicely in to the Linux kernel in a way that isn’t copy pasting the existing system and changing the values that are different on Mac.

Speakers also do work but they are disabled by default so a bug in the current implementation doesn’t blow up the hardware.

And a whole set of major features will be supported as soon as the thunderbolt driver is done which I’ve heard is in progress.

No, I’m saying that the black and white approach of never effecting “the environment” doesn’t make sense from the jump. It treats the earth as a thing that was static before human intervention, which is simply not true. There are a lot of great reasons to want to arrest climate change which is a very different matter, or infant to preserve or rehabilitate particular ecosystems.

Assuming sufficient evidence, one could have an employment attorney pursue the claim and let the attorney keep any damages awarded beyond their contingency fee. Negative stimuli may not improve the culture, but it may improve the discriminatory HR behavior. And even if the behavior isn’t improved, there is then a mostly immutable public record of said discriminatory behavior (which is arguably more valuable than whatever scuttlebutt is on Blind or similar platforms).

It might even be demonstrably securities fraud.

These are all reasonable questions, but probably irrelevant for this kind of law: the law is not (necessarily) interested in determining a person's caste, but instead whether the defendant acted under a belief about a person's caste.

The thing someone is discriminated on the basis of doesn't need to be defined to make the discrimination illegal.

What matters is that the person who did the discrimination based it on the perceived characteristic of the person they discriminated against.
It's more or less directly north of where the LAX traffic pattern makes the U-turn to line up final approach.

So the right side of the plane can always catch a glimpse of the sign, but the left side coming from anywhere north-ish will have a closer view.

If you're coming from south or east you won't make that turn and left side won't see it at all.
I used to work in a FAANG and witnessed caste discrimination firsthand. It’s one of those things that most don’t notice at all unless one is either directly involved or a direct witness to it in America. Since the concept is so culturally foreign to a lot of people it simply goes unnoticed in the workplace to a lot of people who are not privy to the possibility of it happening.
I have lots of Indian and Indian American friends and coworkers. Not once have they suggested that we hire someone on the basis of caste or not hire someone on the basis of caste.

I'm not saying caste discrimination doesn't exist, but let's not paint 1.4 billion people with the same brush.
You seem to be confused. No one on mastodon can stop you from speaking. They can just choose not to listen. Censorship would be stopping you from speaking. As long as you're not breaking any laws, no one is going to shut you down and prevent you from being on the network (eg, your hosting company shutting you down).

Agreed. I also grew up around cattle and eat beef regularly. No objection to cattle farming at all on my part.

But I lived in Arizona and worked with native vegetation for a long time and saw the vast amount of damage cattle did the desert ecosystem. No animal that size lives there natively. Much of the ground was BLM and leased for very nominal fees.

Tearing up a desert ecosystem that takes a long time to regenerate for the tiny amount of money produced by skinny parched cows at a subsidy makes no sense at all.

I vote we keep the cows, but where they belong and not where they don't belong.
