When deployed in non-local environments, background functions get executed on our infrastructure with their (securely stored) arguments, spawn in a dedicated isolated temporary container.

For our users concerned about data locality, we recommend pushing the minimal data as arguments (ex: ids or external ids) and fetching the data during the execution on our side, if needed, through a dedicated SSH tunneling setup.
Once an execution is done, its associated isolated container - gets a dedicated VPC and disk - gets destroyed permanently.
We will also provide on-premises solutions for Enterprises.

In local environment (dev), background functions run completely synchronously and locally, no call is made to Defer.
You do realize that women did not have as much freedom under that arrangement?

Also, the demand for living in California drastically increased relative to supply of housing, but that is a different point.
And that women don't get "used up" because they have sex! Truly delightfully disgusting, that analogy. You'd probably need to own a Ferrari to come up with such nonsense.
You can go work at McDonalds right now for $20/hr where I live. You can structure your work as a consultant and bill hourly. No you can't walk into a company that is looking for a salaried employee and tell them you're going to work hourly (I mean you can try, it might work). But you have plenty of options and there's plenty of work out there.
So... nothing?

Were these assets marked to market, or were there billions in unrealized losses even then?

> regulatory "sleight of hand"

When claims on the FDIC exceed premiums paid, they are absolutely backed up by taxpayers.

There's a cap on what deposits are insured, it's not a secret. Large depositors knew their funds were not insured.

It's not "sleight of hand" to shop the assets in the market, maximize recovery, and make all depositors whole if possible. By all means do this!

But using FDIC funds to bail out uninsured depositors, or monkey business with quasi-government agencies backed by taxpayers paying above-market prices for securities, or agreeing to accept below-market interest rates on loans is definitely "sleight of hand" to obscure a direct subsidy to extraordinarily wealthy people.

By no means should insurance premiums paid on insured deposits be misappropriated to bail out uninsured depositors.
Ask HN: Is LinkedIn using ChatGPT-like methods to generate job leads?
Two weeks ago I received a sincere-sounding email where the sender claimed to be an executive of a company and said they were looking to fill a specific role. The email contains a link to their LinkedIn profile and a real link to the the job as posted on the careers section of the company. However, the sender’s return email address has a domain of <company_name>.careers. The root domain is .careers and the pattern is <firstname>@<companyname>.careers. It seemed odd to me but I figured this was just a secondary domain of the company. I replied to this email only to get a boilerplate response a week later which basically said “thank you for responding we will get back to you” and then I was ghosted.

Most recently, I received another email with a very similar pattern, but different enough to be unique. It was verbose and felt very much something like ChatGPT would create.

I have many questions. At best, it might be genuine. At worst, it’s a job farming operation by an unscrupulous recruiter impersonating the real executive through the clever use of a .careers domain. My mistrust came when the follow-on reply was not characteristic of the tone of the initial outreach.

I agree, but this sounds like it was written in 2000,
Google Apple and Facebook have been the defacto ID providers for years and I don't see that changing without some form of goverment enforced protocol. This won't happen because the goverments just see the power of platforms and want it for themselves.
I’ve got an ATSC 3.0 tuner but end up watching conventional TV more often because it more reliable. My turner streams to PCs, tablets, game consoles and such. Audio is hit and miss. It works fine on cheap Android devices but my iPad lacks the codecs. Oddly it plays fine on the XBOX ONE although hardly anything else (CDs, HEVC encoded video files) does.
Would it be better to keep good advice private?
I had this idea but I did not know about this portrayal of it

that there are two ways to 'have' an infinity:

- by a lack of something. the classic original infinity. there is not a biggest number, they just keep going. it's a 'negative' definition; infinity because NOT finite.

- by construction. intuitionist or constructivist infinity (?). like a cycle or a going-back and forth never stopping. or with a self-referential _next-state_ arrow.

but I'm a bong smoking graduate student. as to the connection between all this and intutionism and/or constructivism? I really wish I knew or where in a position where I can discuss this with people; however I also think that internet randos like me need to await for whiter, wealthier, and more european academics from truly prestigious universities to decide what's what. Which does get in the way of getting myself into a position where I can understand this.

Debugging issues with multithreaded code can be difficult because you could be looking at race condition that only happens when the code is running at full speed and debugging pausing one or all threads could give you an different experience than the real world.

If you don't understand the sentiment, I recommend that you read about what happens in a "run on the bank". Too many large withdrawals at the same time results in a liquidity crisis. No bank in the country has enough reserves to pay all of its customer accounts at the same time; it's part of our system of fractional reserve banking. A massive spike in withdrawals forces a bank to sell long term securities in a disadvantageous environment, often for a huge loss. That undermines customer confidence and exacerbates the issue, causing more people to withdraw. A single person could bring the most successful bank to its knees in that environment, as long as enough customers believe them; it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Apple had 1bit sound, forgot about that, so just a square wave, was thinking it was a piezo. Think the piezo came a bit later, I remember it on DOS machines but I was quite young back them. C64s SID chip/MOS 6581 was a decent little 8 bit synth limited in the sounds which could be created compared to a real synth but the best built in computer synth of the time hands down.

This is correct. The only reason people still do it is because it makes them boatloads of money, not because it is fun in any way.
That's because they didn't get slapped for HIPAA violations. They got fined by the FTC, not HHS. To put it into context, Anthem got hit with USD115 Million in fines for a breach similar to Cerebral's.

Just my guess, but I'd put money on Cerebral being finished as a going concern.

I won't claim that it won't happen, but to paint such prophecies you have to have quite a specific idea of the "internet", and I'm not even sure I can clearly imagine what is it for you.

Internet is a communication system. WhatsApp is internet. Will messaging your mom become irrelevant because you can just as ChatGPT? Well, maybe, but I don't see it happen in the near future. Okay, I see, you meant to say "world wide web", stuff you access in your browser, yeah… This doesn't really help either, because you access all sorts of stuff using your browser, it's just a lousy set of wrappers to render whatever there is, including WhatsApp.

So, okay, what do people do on the internet besides WhatsApp? They watch Twitch, for instance. Why? Are they looking for answers there? Surely not, generally it's such a mindbogglingly useless stupid waste of time it's hard to believe people actually watch this shit, yet they do, a lot, and even donate money like they are grateful their useless time is uselessly wasted. Also, it's a well-known fact they aren't even looking for a specific kind of content: if you are a streamer with 10K online you can do basically whatever you want, these people are following you, not whatever it is you did when they joined your channel. So, will people stop watching real people, because there are, well, rendered people? I'd say it's unlikely in the foreseeable future.

For the same reasons it's unlikely that people won't visit 4chan and HN anymore, all sorts of thematic forums and such. Obviously, they won't stop accessing online libraries, because when you want to read Kafka, you want to read Kafka and not a ChatGPT-generated summary of Kafka. Same with watching LoTR (even though it can be completely generated by NN, the movie has to have a name and you want to know that it's the same stuff your friend, "friend" or the favourite twitch-streamers of yours recommends, not some custom-generated movie, tailored specially for you). Same with every blogger, podcaster, youtuber. You may like recommendation systems, but it doesn't really diminish the role of trusted opinions for majority of people so far.

So, what else is there on the internet? Shitty information portals with copywriter-generated articles? Well, ok, now it will be ChatGPT-generated articles. So what? I suppose it may turn out to be actually better than human copywriters. Maybe Wikipedia will be less relevant (but it wouldn't, if it was better structured, and the main (even though it's false) claim of Wikipedia is that it doesn't generate original content anyway).

Surely a lot of things will look quite different 30 years forward. But it's hard to predict how exactly they will look, and I'm pretty sure it won't be whatever you imagine right now.
I usually wait for someone to accidentally try to merge a bunch of conditional logic wrapping logging, prints or stdio.write type stuff and take that as the opportunity to introduce them to the debug tab in the editor... and give a quick tutorial on conditional breakpoints and how to go up and down the call stack.

It's amazing how many developers go sometimes a decade before they learn to use a debugger.
most of them are coasting, hosting "bonding" events, socializing, holding useless 1:1s where you're supposed to "take the lead", just utter bs.
Yeah, arguably duration risk is pretty much the stogiest, most old-fashioned banking kind of risk that could possibly have tripped them up. Long-term loans and short-term deposits is basically what banks traditionally do.
The good news is that although intuitively that feels horrible, mechanically those are string literals, so, that doesn't actually do very much, just re-assigning a pointer. Moreover, there's no way an optimising compiler can't see those assignments are futile and elide them, whereupon in release builds it might as well be a comment.

And yes, lots of people who don't like Zig's choice agree unused variables are bad and shouldn't survive into your release code. They just don't agree with Andrew that it's a fatal error and the program shouldn't build.
Permissive licenses are not public domain waivers, they usually have some other disclaimers of liability, a requirement to include that provision in all copies, etc. In a world without copyright, OSS devs will need to find another way to shield themselves from liability.

However, what would realistically happen in a hypothetical world without copyright, is that commercial organizations will stop most OSS development and revert to distributing obfuscated binaries.
Do the laws where you live allow for retroactive license changes for published software?

If not, then the software is licensed under whatever license it was under when the operating system was released.
Given that Twitter data has been becoming less valuable due to recent events, I don't think Twitter has as much leverage to raise the price, even for businesses specializing in such data.
it's not cursive because the letters are not connected (unless my fontconfig setup is messed up). these are cursive letterforms completely divorced from their utility which makes them awkward and jarring
That's a good point. I think maybe in that case you should just not use their service (if they require you to give your identity for a web service?). I have used a few services like online banking that require me to upload documents that effectively serve as uniquely identifying me individually. This situation doesn't seem to change with a digital id of sorts. I definitely would avoid using a digital id unless absolutely necessary, such as when dealing with banks, or the government itself. In this sense I think digital id is fine (and at least in my country already exists in some ways without any of those issues).

I think at the core digital id is just having a form of asking your government "Can you verify this is me to someone else?" (which is already something you do with id photos, passports, etc.). I wouldn't want to use it everywhere.

I think consumer protection laws that restrict denying digital service to a customer (without something like a criminal or legal basis) or indiscriminately requiring digital ids could be useful in reaping the benefits without the downsides.
I've had all of those happen to me at various times over the decades and, honestly, they're all pretty easy to resolve and recover from.

Honestly, I think a lot of people are pretty sick of protests in general, regardless of their political affiliation (probably not on HN, since we're extremely online and libertarian, but ask your grandma and see what she says).

Whether it's the left doing it or the right, it seems that many protests have nothing to do with the "movement" at all and are just thinly veiled excuses to act like an ape and smear shit on the wall.

The derivatives market for hedging interest rate risk is fairly liquid. They can add the cost of an appropriate hedge (according to their risk appetite) into the price of the loan.
Locally (without `DEFER_TOKEN` environment variable), your functions run synchronously, but apart from this, you get the same API behavior (arguments serialization, execution id, etc.).
that is so impressive!
This isn't just about the devices. It couldn't possibly be so simple of a problem.

Everyone is approaching this situation as if the status quo of education before computers was perfect. Bullshit! How naive are we?

These children are upset because you are taking something from them that they don't even have the words to ask for: liberation.

Without liberation, school was 8 hours a day of boredom. It was sitting at a cold hard desk waiting for the end. It was prison, and it still is.

Children misbehaving in these circumstances is not new! We talked to each other, passed notes, chiseled the "cool s" into our desks, and brought toys. Did you forget doing these things yourself? Have you really forgotten what it is like to be a child in school?

These behaviors were easy for teachers to manage. Toys can be taken away, and vandalism directly criticized. Loud conversations were competing with lectures, and lectures can win. The rules made sense.

Computers are not so easy. Toys? They are only software. Vandalism? It's a drawing app! Conversations? Silent. What moral ground do you have to stop these behaviors? Kids aren't doing "something wrong" anymore: they are doing "something else". Teachers are fighting them from a totally different position now: vain authoritarianism.

That's the difference: children feel the liberation from prison, and it is arbitrarily taken out of their hands. What value are you giving them in its stead?

It's time to confront the failure of traditional education. No child wants it, and every child has readily available alternatives now; made of flashing lights and tactile switches!

Education is failing to compete with children's attention. Why? Because it could only ever just barely compete against boredom itself. That's gone now. We have been liberated from it. The bar has been raised as it should have been at the very beginning. Wake up and get with the times.

Short Bio: I'm a full-stack software engineer based in West Palm Beach, FL. Most recently I was the lead architect and developer for Fortuna, a highly available and fault-tolerant open-source Ethereum transfer event ingestor used to keep track of all ERC20, ERC721, and ERC1155 transfer events and token metadata since genesis, https://github.com/upstreamapp/fortuna. I'm also the co-creator of Campion, https://campion-breaker.github.io, an edge-based serverless middleware for implementing circuit-breaking functionality for distributed services. Previously, I founded BooklyBox, which was successfully acquired by Quarterly, https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/12/pagehabit/.
What recent events? Why would their data be less valuable?

Meta’s blind is full of troll posts like this right now. The most obvious tells that this is fake are:

- Part about Boz (very unlikely & a Meta blind meme)

- Reference to Bain (there was a false rumor they were involved in the November layoffs.)
I didn't say don't take abuse seriously. I questioned whether allowing a 12 hour workday implies abuse.
Well, thank you for the polite response here, I certainly wouldn't want or intend to discourage genuine good faith discussion; it just registered as otherwise motivated in that instance for me.
If you vacate the space, you're responsible for the consequences.
I guess it’s kind of sweet and innocent to have such faith that a group of disparate people would act against their own self interest for only a nebulous future “common good” outcome, and that would be sparked by a comment on an internet forum.

Makes me feel kind of jaded to be honest. But maybe that’s the problem with society. Maybe we all just need to band together and not be swallowed by despair. Screw it - I also pledge to not withdraw any of my 0$ from SVB.

Say you buy a bond for $100 with 10-year maturity. This means the bond will pay $100 in 10 years. What is it worth today?

Let's say you are looking for an investment to pay 1% yield year over year, because that's the going market rate (which highly correlates to interest rates). Then this bond should be worth about $90.53 to you. You buy it at that price.

Now suddenly rates change and everyone is expecting investments to pay 3% year over year. Then an equivalent bond is now worth only $74.41.

That's OK. You don't have to sell your bond. You can hold on until it matures, and just live with the fact that you aren't getting the same yield as others.

But now imagine you need to come up with a lot of money quickly to satisfy some requirement (like customers withdrawing a lot of money). Now you have no choice but to sell your bond. And that means you have to admit you lost the money. And now you may not have enough money to cover your obligations, even though you would have if you could have waited for the bond to mature.
My story comes from my life experiences starting at SGI, Netscape, Wall Street, etc over 30 years. What you deem reality i extrapolate from my reality as a recent emergent reality based on broad social trends that may or may not stick. I think the work life balance stuff is really recent and coincides with employers trying to convince people they’re not really evil and part of the recent wave of liberal humanism in western societies. It’s a great trend. But it’s neither concrete reality nor proven to be permanent.
