Here is the Bing answer to this version of the question:

The joke is based on a logical paradox known as the *barber paradox*¹. The barber paradox is a situation where a statement leads to a contradiction when trying to determine its truth value. In this case, the statement is "none of you want tequila shots?".

If none of the logicians want tequila shots, then they should all answer "yes" to confirm the statement. But if any of them answers "yes", then it means that at least one of them wants tequila shots, which contradicts the statement. So they cannot answer "yes".

If any of the logicians want tequila shots, then they should answer "no" to deny the statement. But if all of them answer "no", then it means that none of them want tequila shots, which confirms the statement. So they cannot answer "no".

The first two logicians avoid this contradiction by answering "I don't know". They are not saying whether they want tequila shots or not, but only whether they know if none of them want tequila shots or not. By answering "I don't know", they are implying that their answer depends on what the other logicians say.

The third logician breaks this impasse by answering "No thank you". He is not answering the question directly, but politely declining the offer of tequila shots. By doing so, he reveals that he does not want tequila shots, and also implies that he knows that none of them want tequila shots. This makes his answer consistent with both possibilities: if none of them want tequila shots, he is confirming the statement; if any of them want tequila shots, he is denying the statement.

The joke is funny because it plays with the different levels of logic and language involved in answering a simple question. It also shows how logicians can use their skills to avoid contradictions and confusions.

This is possibly a death spiral. GPT is only possible because it's been trained on the work humans have learned to do and then put out in the world. Now GPT is as good as them and will put them all out of work. How can it improve if the people who fed it are now jobless?
Good! Now hire or sponsor developers to work on finishing the Lua support and get rid of the Vimscript support as a whole and I will come back in no time!

Lua everywhere baby! ^_^

Until then, keep on rocking with bug fixes and let me know when you are done +1!
Then we all go to hell together.
It didn’t just pick the wrong one; “Learning from Rules and Arguments” is completely made up.
This sounds highly implausible for anything other than very crude and not-very-useful measurements. Quantifying air pollution is a fairly hard problem, chemically speaking. The composition of particulate matter is highly diverse as it may arise from a wide variety of sources, i.e. agricultural, industrial, wildfires, diesel engines, etc. Just looking at the particulate PM2.5/PM10, broadly speaking there's the organic carbon fraction and the inorganic metal fraction. The former is highly complex, e.g.:

> "The considerably increased chromatographic resolution in GC×GC [gas chromatography] allows separation of many UCM [organic carbon] compounds while the TOFMS [mass spectrometer] supplies mass spectral data of all separated compounds. However, the data sets are getting enormously complex. In a typical PM2.5 sample from Augsburg more than 15,000 peaks can be detected... "

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00219...

Some particulate matter may have a heavy metal fraction, some may not and that's also not easy to determine (but was a major factor in leaded gasoline pollution). Here's a sample of the kind of work that has to be done to get reliable measurements:

> "...using quadrupole inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry (q-ICP-MS). We report improved measurements of key aerosol elements including Al, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, and Zn in airborne coarse particulate matter (PM10)... This technique was used to determine the elemental composition of over 150 PM10 samples collected from an industrialized region in Houston, TX."

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00032...

On top of that there's nitrogen oxides and PAN, ozone, etc. The only relatively inexpensive recent innovations seem to be the use of drones to collect samples for lab analysis (would have been useful in East Palestine).

Getting accurate measurements of all the species involved in air pollution requires a modern analytical lab packed with equipment that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and highly trained technicians to operate. The press release and snippets from the paper don't address such important details at all.
No country that I know of is currently, or has ever been, on bad terms with all launching countries simultaneously. Do you have any examples?

Most people value compensation in the short term over the absence of a non-compete in the long term.
This can't be overstated.

If it's not in writing, it doesn't exist. What you were told verbally means nothing. (Yes, technically a verbal contract is a binding contract, but if you can't prove in court that something was said, it doesn't matter.)

I assume that remote workers had an employment contract, though, and surely where and when they are expected to work was included in that.
Someone on lobste.rs mentioned quay.io (maintained by redhat) as an alternative to dockerhub. Anyone have any experience with it?
How does it not address your concern? It’s quite literally making isInteger into a type guard. The ‘integer’ type above can passed to any place ‘number’ is needed.
The danger is that the opportunity academia is giving you is something more like "you’ll be given the chance to try to understand what they were doing 5 years ago".
In what way is that even close to a Ponzi scheme?

Never bullshit, but like any application built with GPT it does occasionally hallucinate. We published info on how we solved that problem here: https://medium.com/p/f3bfcc10e4ec

We've also made some improvements in how we chunk and parse the content to make sure the information it finds is useful, since we've noticed hallucinations tend to happen when the context you give it is irrelevant.
>Have the FDIC rates actually changed or is this a hypothetical.

It's hypothetical. The FDIC is likely to recover a vast majority of the uninsured deposits through asset sales, people just want to be outraged.

At smaller banks, 60-75% of uninsured deposits are usually recovered by FDIC and those banks went out of business for bad balance sheets, not bank runs due to duration mismatch.

We've gotten so used to assuming every statement is spin on 'you're getting screwed' that people assume it's always the case.
While it's reassuring to believe that online discussions are free from bots, the reality is that it can be difficult to tell if you're interacting with a human or a machine. However, by engaging in open and respectful dialogue, we can work towards fostering authentic and productive conversations regardless of who or what we're interacting with.
> but normally you'll have a narrowly defined and very specific technical topic/hypothesis that you're working on, and many/most of these aren't going to be closed off by ChatGPT4

Pretty hard disagree. Even if your NLP PhD topic is looking at hypotheses on underlying processes about how languages work (and LLMs can't give you this insight), 9 times out of 10 it's with an eye for some sort of "applicability" of this for the future. GPT-4 just cut off the applicability parts of this for huge swaths of NLP research.
That's a fair comment, If anything them not being locked down makes access to databases easier to connect to Outerbase.

I agree that users should learn SQL, even when you use EZQL it returns the actual SQL in a fully-editable IDE that can be modified in whatever way you would want.

Do you think that the existing tools out there provide a good environment for those non-technical teams to learn SQL?

Maybe I'm biased but I have never been a huge fan of accessing data from the majority of the existing tools as they feel outdated and like tools built mostly for engineers.
AFAIK it is not just about taste, but about the fact that Dutch animals gain the most weight per fodder consumed - which is actually pretty nature-friendly.
I agree about 400 banks failing would likely be due to some greater catastrophe.

But financially I think it's the same. If 400 customers each use 1 bank each, then a single bank failure means the FDIC needs to make whole one customer.

But if every customer put 1/400th of their wealth into each of the 400 banks, then FDIC has to cover all customers for 1/400th each.

The cost to us as depositors/taxpayers is equal.
As much as I hate to admit it, I'll probably still pay it because it's just so much superior to other cable offerings(recording, multiple devices). And there's no other way to watch live sports.
Sure, I agree with all that. But what I’m saying is that there are so many factors that all contribute to the problem, that you might be able to say certain factors were more influential than others, but I don’t think it’s really correct to point at one factor and say “this is the cause”.
Right, I understand that. What I probably should have made more clear was whether it was trying to get to /etc/shadow, or another .../etc/shadow.php file located somewhere within the web-server's file directory.
No, your money should not have zero risk. There is always risk in the system. The FDIC was created as an insurance for this specific risk hence the name (Federal DEPOSIT INSURANCE Corporation). This was mainly to help the common person when bank failures were more prevalent...not the wealthy who were the predominant beneficiaries of this bailout.

You should learn that you the moment you put a deposit in the bank, the funds become the property of the depository bank. As a depositor, you are a creditor of the bank.

People are mad because the rules were changed in the middle of the game to serve the interests of a select few (mainly VCs and the startup crowd).

Those supporting this bailout seem to have some of the least knowledge on how banks work.
the market is huge, different people need different things
making a cloud app is not niche, the mac only client was a bit unusual

for internal apps, moving to the cloud is a big step
for most places i worked in, its a huge step

I just find it striking, that its considered as a casual thing or the norm, nowadays

I think maybe you might want to explain on your site, why puting your internal db on the cloud is safe, easy ... and not a big deal
I'm guessing this sentence is aimed at current and future investors.
It depends on the problem definition (specifically on the definition of the word "brackets"). If you want to ensure the proper balancing of all of {}, [], and () [while excluding improper nesting], you need a stack [or equivalent]. If you only want to ensure () balancing, you can just do a count.

IMO:

({[]}) // has balanced brackets
({[}]) // has imbalanced brackets
I talked to someone at a co-working space in Lafayette who was a member of a company there and they were working on a similar project. I can't for the life of me remember anything else about it though.

Best wishes to you all with the startup.
Yes, it is a great strategy for sociopathic managers

What they don't consider, or don't care about, is that this will select-out the best people, the ones who have the most readily available options, and it will select-in those who are least capable.

This means that the managers really don't GAF about any kind of quality, or their real strategy is merely to throw warm bodies at their problems and hope they can wrangle some kind of productivity from them, evidently while soothing their own egos while "managing by walking around" and hovering over everyone's cubicles trying to enforce butts-in-seats indicia of work that actually have near-zero correlation with actual productivity.
The quick version is we're looking at this from two different sides:

- To avoid re-triggering stuff from Effects, we _are_ adding a Hook. It has the same API as the original `useEvent` proposal but is more tightly scoped to this particular use case (and different semantics). We'll submit a new RFC for it after some more testing, but it's available (as `useEffectEvent`) in experimental builds, and the docs mention it: https://react.dev/learn/separating-events-from-effects#decla...

- To improve rendering performance, we are working on an automatic compiler that analyzes your code and makes rendering much more granular. It's still in active R&D but we hope to share an update on it soon.

We think these two things together will likely be able to mostly address the issue. If not, we'll look at the specific gaps and work on them more closely.

In general though, people have shipped huge apps with Hooks, and it's definitely production-ready. Always an opportunity for improvement, sure.
No worries! TIL
I'm curious how this works. Did you continually remind management that you didn't have the tools to do your job and they ignored you or were you quietly satisfied that this gave you a plausible excuse to do nothing?
You are right, it's two different messages.

I always am annoyed by how companies apologize for the communication or the confusion arising after the communication. As if we, the public, didn't understand properly or are too dumb to understand what they tried to say. We understood perfectly and the _message_ was dumb, not the communication around the message. It doesn't feel like an honest apology.
what if the people who hired you are total idiots and take you to court anyways?
I would say HN has become less intimidating. A couple of years ago I was petrified of posting here because something I said wasn't 100% correct, or not insightful enough. I feel like it's relaxed a bit since then.

As for comparing HN to reddit?! No, reddit is a sea of mindless groupthink that upvotes jokes, cute animals and general internet junk.
Yes. Meta is on a mission to starve startups and smaller competitors from people who do DEI work. What would competitor do without diverse talent in recruiting?

>Levy previously told Insider she was hired on Meta’s Sourcer Development Program, a 12-month program that helps workers from underrepresented groups enter the corporate technology recruiting industry.
> I still think this was part of Elon's motivation for investing in his Boring Company.

Given what I've seen on twitter.com I think you may be overthinking it. IMO he legitimately thought he could 'defeat traffic' and make everyone buy a Tesla if he dig tubes around town. Which I mean you can pretty quickly disprove with a quick prototype: take a lane of highway and put a hat on it, see if traffic gets better.
> Same for Godot.

While likely true that it's "Unlikely to ever be as supported" as the 4 officially supported languages[0] ("GDScript, C#, and, via its GDExtension technology, C and C++."), Godot's GDExtension technology is specifically intended for use in adding support for other languages.

> The fed ... could simply allow all member banks to exchange low interest rate long term bonds for new higher yield bonds and pay the Fed for the spread with a loan.

Maybe we should admit Congress will never repay the national debt and simply have the Fed purchase new federal debt issuance. The current complicated charade just pays banker bonuses.
Ah, the good ole "my company won't pay for a $5/month tool that I like because the tool maker won't invoice my company for less than 50 users, so instead of paying $5/month myself on my credit card, I literally 'can't use it anymore' out of principle."

Unless you have a contract. Contracts cannot be unilaterally changed.
> What if the law changes and now it's enforceable?

Before that happened, I'd remind my lawmaker of both my generous giving and also how valuable my personal time and network has been, relative to any campaign donation, in terms of winning and keeping the seat.

If it happened anyways, I'd move my primary residence.

> What if you move to another USA state, or to another country, and it's enforceable there?

That's not how non-competes work in any US jurisdiction of which I'm aware.

Even if it were: if a company wants my labor -- and enough do that I'm not concerned about finding takers -- then they have to hire me in a state where I'm comfortable with non-compete law. I don't care about in office vs remote, but I do care about non-compete law. Companies shop around jurisdictions. In-demand labor should as well.
> Employees who were hired remote can remain remote.

Where did you get this from though?

Successfully implemented in technical terms. Not really in financial terms. The rocket cost a huge amount and even with the already absurd launch prices the US military paid it wasn't the most successful. It never competed for the competitive international launch market.

SpaceX landed a rocket in 2015, but Virgin Orbit wasn't even competitive with Falcon 1. Landing rockets has little to do with why it wasn't working out.

Yes without Falcon 9 the market would be quite a bit bigger, but even then its hard to see how VO ever gets very far. Its offering even compared to the other small launch competition isn't really competitive. Their offering was 12M for a tiny payload, their competition was often less then 10M for payloads with more flexibility in size and volume.

They simply have no migration path, no way to make their vehicle bigger, and pretty much every small launch company has realized that small launch isn't really a business you want to be in.

They managed to get a lot of financing pretty early on and managed to be one of the first to orbit, but their financial outlook was always pretty bad.
Isn't that like a service like Github saying 'you will maintain access to any of your public projects' as in administrative access to one's own projects. After that period, you are no longer the owner of that repo and you no longer have "access". So I can still clone your github project but alas you no longer can commit to it.

My understanding of US history is that almost all meaningful worker protections were fought for and seized by labor unions. Things like the 40 hour work week, paid leave, overtime pay, etc.
They should know. When the first logician answers "I don't know" it makes it clear that he does not want a drink.
Each city is an allegory for a different literary trope or storytelling technique. The fact that they all blend together is a commentary on how story elements get recycled.
I think you're a few years too late to criticize for going all in on hooks. Sure, there may be deep rooted problems, but there's a lot of inertia.
But probably requires paying lawyers etc. which may or may not be worth it.
I always thought that when revenues are too high these companies need to raise expenses so they could have places to trim for rough quarters up ahead. Therefore the hiring strategy in 2020 was sound.

I've also seen the reverse, Netflix not curbing on shared accounts and Microsoft having really limited anti piracy tooling early on, allowing them to keep revenue reserves for the future
Because certain content is only useful because of authenticity. If I'm looking to aggregate opinions on a topic, I want to know that I read 100 opinions from real people. Not 100 generated hallucinations from ChatGPT.
(Note: I'm neutral on the main issue of whether Docker's moves are evil, etc. I don't really care)

To me this "This impacted less than x%" business is more of a classic Apple damage control PR statement, designed to convey to the whole userbase, "You almost definitely aren't affected, it's just a tiny number of whiners making all this fuss, and look how small they are!"
I'm seeing a lot of comments along the lines of "What should SVB have done? They bought the best bonds they could have for the time, and then the Fed screwed them over."

Maybe I'm just naive when it comes to how these systems work, but couldn't SVB have just... done nothing? Nobody was compelling them to purchase any bonds at the time. Sure they have pressure from stockholders to make money, but if the deck was so stacked against them as everyone seems to think it was, it seems like a financially-literate management (which I would expect out of a bank) would have had the idea to merely wait a bit to see what the Fed was going to do.

(Everyone and their mother was predicting a crash from 2020 to 2022, so it seems reasonable that a bank of all institutions could have made the call to be patient and see which way the wind blows...)

Again, maybe this is me just being naive, but "They should have just been patient" seems like a mantra applicable to a lot of companies lately. Car companies cancelling all their chip orders at the start of the pandemic, only to scramble and re-place them as demand surged; tech companies hiring like crazy in the face of a supposed talent crunch, only to have massive layoffs a year later. It seems like companies keep making "impulsive" decisions to try and capitalize on short-term trends without any eye for the long term strategic view.

Yes, "being patient" might mean they don't make as much money as they could have if they jumped at the first sign of a change, but... Do they have to? SVB could have continued making money hand over fist in the long run, but now they no longer exist. Google and Microsoft and all these corps could have saved a lot of corporate face and internal morale, had they just waited out the supposed hiring crisis that never quite seemed to materialize: now they have a pile of irritated employees and everyone I know at a major brand seems to be holding their breath for the next round of layoffs.

There's a trend of hyper-efficiency in the name of maximum profit that I feel like I've been seeing kind of everywhere, and that seems fine until the moment the music stops. Maybe I'm just the kind of person who naturally hedges their bets, but I'm constantly blown away by how rickety entire companies appear to be sometimes. What am I missing? Are there just insufficient incentives to be conservative with resources and decision making?
I don’t get the hate of Docker as a company. Yes, this is crap technology that incentivise resource inefficiency at its peak form, but this is how stacks like ruby or python are at least working. Still, docker org invented all the tools, gave them for free, promote, document and support them, gave free global registry that can be filled by anyone and contains petabytes of trash, with free thousands of terabytes of egress monthly. They gave away all their intellectual work to RedHat/bazaar and participate in development of “open standards” for free.
And now when they take away some expensive toy, developers became hostile and call them unreliable.
Gergely Orosz is a hack. He can show a scan of a contract with personal information redacted if he'd like to. He creates "facts" by using vague words like that

Employees either had a remote contract or they didn't. Their income taxes were paid accordingly. This really isn't or shouldn't be a surprise to anyone
