ironically, the same professor taught a compilers class and did a FANTASTIC job with it.

We did pascal (probably a subset of the language, cant remember) and then c--. we did an interpreter + runtime for one, and compilation to some sort of bytecode for the other. dont remember which was which.

this is great. i'll be needing mailserver to send out a lot of emails so self-hosted makes only financial sense. was pondering of making my own but didn't got to it yet. great that this is in Go as well.
The kind of stuff I wouldn’t even put in an email. I did confer with colleagues from a variety of companies doing similar work and they saw similar things, it’s the kind of thing that pops up quite frequently even when not looking for it. Essentially many of the base assumptions society has agreed upon are wrong. In order to maintain that belief the messengers are crucified, so smart people who know keep it to themselves.

It has a more personal link for me as I have one of the more distinct and rare genetic personalities and come from a long line of unusually smart assholes. It turns out clEDS causes a great deal of pain and when you complain about it people will tell you it’s normal, and how are we to know it’s not. Overtime it’ll change your brain chemistry and sabotage your life to the point you do become an asshole. There is also a strong link to intelligence, there is a fringe theory of RCCX genes explaining giftedness and I was one of those profoundly gifted children (clEDS is a recessive TNXB mutation, though I believe the official classification is wrong and the particular sub type of TNXB mutation matters). At school I was warned that people that gifted usually hit a wall pretty early on due to burnout, but really it’s chronic fatigue that starts to get really bad in the mid 20s. So it seems to be a Faustian bargain and I guess if given the choice I would chose it again, it certainly makes life more interesting. I hope that overtime I can figure out a solution to the pain, I’ve done much better than most and hope I’ll be able to avoid turning into an asshole, though some may say too late…
Your link 404s, and fertility rates are not measures of net new natural population growth. If everyone lives longer, you can still have more births than deaths with sub replacement fertility.

In any case, the California Department of Finance gives counts of births and deaths by county, and you are wrong: https://dof.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/Forecasting/Demographi...

So, it's contingent upon a "bubble" forming, which is not nothing but rather something. They have not claimed to prove how the universe formed spontaneously from a bubble, not nothing.

So definitely _not_ socially beneficial.
These areas are only growing from net migration in because the housing there is so expensive that the people from there can no longer keep up, and most of their kids have to move away in early adulthood to establish their own household because they can no longer afford it at early career salary levels like their parents once could.

Show HN: Python but with Module Import Policies
Hello all,

Very excited to share an early stage project of mine! Over the last year I've been reading about software supply chain attacks and their consequences. Suffice to say, I'm paranoid! I've dabbled in a few tools such as Panoptisch(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33926782) but wanted to take this even further.

I came across Deno's permission model which restricted access to APIs like network, file system, shell and ffi and wanted to take this idea to another language. Possibly as my final project at university.

Since I love Python, it made sense to try messing around with CPython.
I'm quite satisfied (at the moment) with the result and thought about sharing it with the community for some feedback.

Looking forward to your thoughts and for the inevitable pwn of the implementation :)
Hey everyone! Sharing this project we’ve been working on.

We run a coaching app for new & aspiring managers (mostly engineering managers and PMs). Users get personalized 2-minute daily tips (we shared it here way back in 2020), and they can reach out to a coach via Intercom chat if they need help with a specific problem.

We typically need at least ~15 mins or so to respond to these coaching requests via chat, and our team isn’t big enough yet to provide 24/7 coverage, so we decided to try out OpenAI’s API to see if we could build an “assistant coach” who can chime in faster and still provide actual value - partly inspired by the Marc Randolph’s (Netflix Co-Founder) quote that “the next wave of disruptive companies will be built by layering domain expertise over GPT-3”.

**We used prompts to give GPT-3 context on its coaching mission, including a coaching framework & questions, we gave it access to our content library of 2-minute tips for managers, and did our best to give it a bit more personality.

The results seem pretty good so far! We’ve introduced “Bunchee” to users in our app already, and just today released the web demo. There are definitely still some issues though:

So far, Bunchee is good at:

- empathy
- humour
- improvising (most of the times)
- understanding that she is a colleague of human coaches at Bunch

What she’s not so great at:

- Actually being available 24/7 (due to OpenAI API dependency)
- remembering past conversations to build more context about the user
- switching modes on the fly: coaching vs. advice vs. search vs. customer support

Curious to hear what you all think!

I've been off medications for 20 years, with diagnosed moderate ADD (now ADHD).

Doing work you actually enjoy helps, also task sequencing, for me at least, context switches are very expensive, so I try to schedule like-like work back to back.

I also tend to use the 'buddy' system for doing things like, organizing stuff around the house, and cleaning, which means someone to hang out with me, and often help me not get distracted. If I try to organize alone, I will get one box of shit taken apart, then as I go put it away, I find other things that need putting up, and move them, and at the end of the day the whole house is a mess, and I have no idea why.

4. Loss of friends/community due to cohort being forced to leave by 1-3
> And yet there are literally zero "amazing paradigm shifting world shattering on par with native" PWAs

Of course there aren’t. Nobody wants to build the same thing twice. Since PWAs are a no go on Safari, which, despite iOS being a minority compared to Android is still used by many of the wealthier coveted audiences, we would have to build it as a PWA for Android and native for iOS. We’ve consistently chosen not to do that. But, with these recent Safari changes, it might be enough for us to finally consider building PWAs.

How about reading and adhering to client project specs? That is a legitimate and important aspect of engineering. The spec said no github. Jekyll is also a legitimate tool for "decent software". In the professional realm, you will be using code generating tools, so the argument that 'X is commonly used for software development and thus the requirements are boneheaded' does not hold up,
> Or is the argument that the [everything else] to calorie ratio should be higher?

Yep, that.

My understanding of this argument (which for the record, I'm loosely convinced is probably true, but probably isn't the only, and maybe not the main, factor) is that your body's hungry signal is it needs non-calorie nutrients, but our food is less nutrient dense so you get a lot more calories than your body is prepared to handle for a given quantity of nutrients.
I don't know if it was "shot themselves in the foot" so much as "the unsustainable thing they were doing to prevent potential competition finally broke."

FAANG's talent acquisition strategy has always been as much about preventing things from being built externally as it was building things internally. Problem is, there's only so long you can funnel all of your 500k/year engineers into revenue-negative wastes of time like Stadia, Alexa or Diem. In this case, the profitable units like cloud and ads can no longer subsidize those units made primarily to employ people in a way that prevents them from working on legitimate competitors to their actual, profitable business units.
I've read arguments that food prices are unsustainably low, largely because of the pressure supermarkets put on their suppliers (the farmers). It seems that higher food prices are just something we're going to have to accept, which isn't so bad if it results in less waste and a fairer environment for food producers.
I knew this would be referenced :) but that's the main reason it wont work. Good things take time.

And their signals may well be noisy.

This is why it is infuriating. They have some model and some threshold. If an account goes over the threshold, they're banned.

For whatever reason, OP ends up over the threshold, and eBay is completely unwilling to put any customer service effort into reviewing whether they model may have misclassified OP's account. Having the service be completely off limits for a certain % of companies because it's too hard to assess errors is part of the business strategy, and it's an absolutely awful experience for the small number of people it affects.

Luckily, OP can probably live without eBay. Now imagine what happens in scenarios like these, which show up every few weeks on HN and other news media.

1. Sellers who make a living off sites like eBay who have their livelihood thrashed when model goes Beep on their account for some reason.

2. Businesses (and their customers) that rely upon cloud services that have their accounts closed indefinitely for unspecified reasons.

3. People locked out of their Gmail/similar accounts for unspecified reasons, who then lose access to every account tied to those accounts.

If you've ever been in one of these situations, it turns into a Kafkaesque dystopian runaround at best, and complete blackout at worst. I ended upon on the wrong end of an indefinite suspension from Google. I had to appeal a dozen times with no insight from them. I ultimately tracked it down to an off-by-one error on a payment card zip code. I had moved across town and my zipcode went up by one. Google didn't like that and I was a threat until I figured it out. Took months.
Yes. The MINIX book is still the most accessible text, and MINIX is small enough to be comprehended by a student in a semester.
Haha. The importance of grades depends on your goals: on the one hand, I know two engineering grads who scored multiple great internships with a sub-3.0 GPA, with one landing a very high-paying job thanks to these internships. But on the other hand, a mathematics professor persuasively said to my class that your life can be a lot easier if you do get higher grades. They can help with graduate school admissions, scholarships, and getting certain internships.

So, while grades don't really matter for the vast majority of great employers after graduation, good grades do make it easier to find opportunities earlier on. If it's not overly stressful for a student to achieve higher grades, it's worthwhile to score them for better early career opportunities (e.g. access to top labs and competitive internships).

But if it's too much of a burden for the student, you can be extremely successful career-wise regardless of grades, especially if you work hard and creatively to find ways to gain experience and demonstrate your abilities. For example, one successful former classmate found great internships via networking through their engineering design team, where the companies overlooked their GPA in favour of their demonstrated experience with engineering with the team.

I sympathize with anyone who's been recently laid off but I am also genuinely excited for what's going to come next. I feel like we've been in a startup rut over these past few years. At least for non-crypto startups, that is.

Does anyone have a list of new startups to watch out for over the next year or so?
Good. Both Google and Amazon are barreling down the path of democratizing scale and infrastructure with their cloud offerings. It's never been easier to reach millions of users in a short amount of time with your product. These are the companies that will end up ultimately challenging them down the road for talent and potentially even hitting at their core business models of search and commerce (we've already seen hints of start ups rising to do this, like OpenAI challenging search and Shopify testing the waters of it's own fulfillment network).

It's going to be interesting to watch Google and Amazon become so dependent on their infrastructure revenue that they essentially turn into the Oracle/IBM of today. Hope all those layoffs were worth it for the bottom line.

My mother could not afford to move reasonably close to where I live (Austin, not CA though). Certainly not in walking distance, maybe in a suburb, but that's even assuming she could find work.
I'm one of those people who moved to an urban area for a tech job, and yes, my presence here is a part of the problem that drives working class, local born people either out of the region or on to the streets.

But I did nothing wrong. The people who actively prevent Boston from building more housing are the reason my presence here is at someone else's expense.

> everyone knows you can't predict movements of the stock market...

That's why you use a distribution to model the distribution of future possible prices given the information you have today.

The entire point of modeling the market as a martingale: you don't know what the future price is, but you do know a pretty good deal about where the price might go at various point in the future. Perhaps the single most important thing you know is that the future price is expected to be the same as the current price (ignoring the risk-free rate).

The Martingale property is very important to understand about stocks because if you are certain that the expected price of a stock is less than its current value you should sell, if you believe it will be more you should buy. An entire market thinking like this means that the current price should be equal to the expected future price.

Additionally these models don't "predict" future prices, but rather represent what the market believes about future prices given the current price and other information. This is essential to properly modeling risk and pricing assets.

It's what happens when there is a de facto monopsony. Farmers can sell goods for whatever the supermarkets demand, or their produce can rot.
A lot of housing policy happens at the state level, so the fact that a large part of the SF voting population are renters can get cancelled out by the fact that home ownership rates are higher outside the city, at least in state issues.
Terrible Startup Advice: Don't Hire Your Friends
I wonder what would happen if you get a new "recycled" phone number that had been used by someone else on ebay before.
Among people I know from both camps, atheists and religious people, the biggest factor seems to be the environment they live in, mostly money but really child care. They simply cannot afford or would stretch their budget too much to have another child. Maybe there's a correlation between religiousness, especially ability to attend service every week and income possibly?
That part seems more like feelgoods than sound economics, but sometimes you need feelgoods to make something politically viable.
At the N5 node 1mm^2 of a fully finished wafer is worth about 25 cents. This may have undergone hundreds of steps. If we assume the chips we're making can be done in 100 steps, one of these E-Beam Lithography machines costs the same amount as a scanning electron microscope, can run 24/7 for years, and there are zero costs to operate, and we need to break even in 2 years, then we need to charge about 450 times as much as a mass produced chip. Obviously under more realistic conditions, that multiplier would have to be way higher.

While for steady state production, a chip could be produced every couple of hours, no one is going to pay tens of thousands per chip for even a limited production run. If you are doing a one off prototype that justifies an extremely high pricetag, you have long lead times waiting for the chip to go through the various steps.

Honestly you'd be better off just making custom masks.

This is the key issue, the same has been happening with eggs. The prices supermarkets pay have to start reflecting fair value for farmers, if that means food goes up so be it, people should grow more at home. There should also be more competition in food growth, something that doesn't really seem to happen at all. Monoculture, where we remove the countryside and plant only one crop in a whole field, which then needs hundreds of tonnes of water and tonnes of pesticides spread all over it is inefficient, and killing our environment + natural diversity.

We should grow food closer to where it's consumed, and people should grow their own veg.
I think you have a rather strange picture of preneolithic societies.
Interesting idea, if you're in the EU: when they ban you, ask them to delete your PII. Either you get unbanned because they're no longer storing the fact that they banned you, or they need to provide a reason for storing it against your expressed wishes. "We want to, lol" will probably not fly, so I expect they'd need to give some info on the reason of the ban. If it's law-related ("you're on a blacklist from the government, but we can't tell you"), you'll get a hint. If they just say "our magic ML blackbox predicted the probability of fraud was above average", I doubt that will be considered a valid reason. If they actually have a valid reason (e.g. someone with the same name already had an account at that address), you'd at least know what's up and can fight that head on.

I don't know though, maybe they'll just tell you to get lost and that they're not going to delete it and also not tell you why, and then just pay a $50 fine 5 years down the line when some data protection agency finds the time to do something.
Yes, that and still be curious about the things happening around you. I mean, if nothing really matters it can also take the pressure off.
