There's no learning possible. I've spent years learning to use what is—let's admit it—some immensely cool technology. I use it when writing, when programming, for illustrations... I use tools like ChatGPT daily for learning, or simply to play around with.

If I admit that this was a mistake, and it should never have existed, then that would also be accepting that everything which provides some validation for my existence is a mistake, and I shouldn't be doing that. Yes, I accept the irony, but since I'm unwilling to cease existing, I cannot pick that path.

Funnily, however?

My interactions with the art community have been two-fold. First, people who agree that it's cool, and who enjoy the opportunity to add elements to their art that they couldn't have before; whether that be writers getting illustrations, or artists seeing their works in other styles, or... a whole range of options.

Then, second, there's the people who start shouting at me and calling me evil when I try to bring gifts. Who jump into the personal insults when I'm trying to correct misconceptions. Who make it incredibly difficult to stay polite.

This conversation is largely about the second group. And while I fully understand the worries brought up by GP, they've just about brought me to the point where I cease caring.

I'm Scandinavian. I would never have argued that it's okay to outcompete people. That isn't how our society works. But when a group of people spend this much effort telling me we're two different communities, and they don't care if I go off and hang myself? Well, they shouldn't be surprised if I accept their point of view, and decide they're a different community.

We spent so much time trying to put everyone in the same one, too.

Fortunately there's still the first group.
Yes, they're not the same thing. First, the credentials were leaked. Then, the service was hacked using the leaked credentials. Afterwards, information obtained in the hack was leaked.
A better question is "Who becomes [a successful] entrepreneur?"

There are many folks with side businesses that compliment their incomes, but primarily it is a tax strategy driven investment decision process.

I think most successful "entrepreneurs" clue into the pejorative connotation of the word sooner. =)
like the poster you are responding to, I can obviously see something the court can hold against them, so it seems maybe your inability to see it is more a reflection of you than the situation

perhaps it bears repeating that judges aren't robots and can see someone obviously trying to evade an order and impose sanctions accordingly

oh, the topic totally changed once you moved to a history free chat? got any proof? no? that's too bad, seems the judge'll have to assume the most likely scenario in their judgement
Exactly. Like the infamous remark that inflation is being canceled out by faster iPads:

Can you give 100% guarantee (no 99.99% but 100%) your changes won't break a critical part of the system. If the answer is NO then don't deploy on Friday's or any other time of the week when resources are not expected to be immediately available.
Right. In 2015, peak coal was behind us. The naive optimists thought "it's all down hill from here". A "global accord" has been reached, so all that's left to do is slap together a few windmills, some solar panels, stop mining coal or drilling oil and gas, and problem solved.

Today, somehow, peak coal is in front of us again and emissions promises have been revealed as flimsy half-truths that are gamed and lied about as part of domestic and international power struggles and political maneuvering, to the absolute shock and surprise of nobody who has paid the slightest attention to the behavior and trustworthiness of politicians and bureaucrats and their corporate masters at any time in the past 50+ years.
> This wasn't autocracy, this was logical health policy: Do you overwhelm hospitals, potentially causing them to fail, or do you limit personal freedom? That's the question that they had to answer.

Except, the choice was nowhere as binary as you present and/or perceive it. If you look across the world you will see many different responses to the very same problem, but with different answers based on political, cultural, etc. differences.

I kept and keep hearing the usual responses as to why the PRC had to respond in a highly authoritarian manner: the citizens can not handle freedom as they are morally weak. This may be true, but is it not awfully convenient that this always leads to the answer being politically empowering the CCP? Cui bono?
Could always rely on the Levenshtein distance. You have to be careful with similarity approaches though as you may end up filtering important messages because they are structurally similar to the unimportant message.
I've done similar using homoglyphs.

I write my private blog so I can reflect on the day and what matters.

It helps me gather my thoughts well. This is just a private blog, hosted

Lets not blame remote work as the reason SVB "[locked] up half of its assets in a $91bn portfolio of securities that made it vulnerable to rising interest rates" and not having a hedge.

This failure had nothing to do with remote work and everything to do with executives gambling.

> In a story in the Financial Times out Thursday, current and former Silicon Valley Bank employees cited the bank's commitment to remote work as one reason for its failure.

A bit weird for axios not to link the article in that first sentence but I believe this is it: https://archive.is/0L9UE

From that article:

> the bank acknowledged in its annual report that it “may experience negative effects of a prolonged work-from-home arrangement”.

Then it cites this "expert":

> “It is harder to have a challenging call over Zoom. It makes it harder to challenge management,” said Nicholas Bloom, a professor at Stanford University who has studied remote working extensively. “Ideas like hedging interest rate risk often come up over lunch or in small meetings.”

Anything that can come up over lunch or in small meetings can be also brought up in the variety of remote work tools including: zoom/teams/mattermost/slack/email.

The real headline here is SVB culture:

> entertaining entrepreneurs and venture capitalists at ski trips, baseball games and private boxes at concerts.

> lent billions of dollars to wineries and vineyards where it could network with clients and send wine to its customers’ parties.

> “I almost felt like I was at work on a college campus"

> internal conflicts as a result of its rapid expansion

> spending nearly $1bn to acquire Boston Private, the unit suffered a rush of departures shortly after the deal closed

And Boston Private culture?

> post-merger environment as “toxic” before storming off to cross-town rivals, according to deposition testimony and internal emails made public in the company’s lawsuit against four former employees. In the span of 12 months, its assets under management fell from $9.3 billion to $7.1 billion, and the unit went from profit-maker to money-loser

See https://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2016/07/14/the-insid...

So again nothing to do with remote work.
None of this matters unless something is done to stop the Chinese "private" fleet from ignoring the laws and borders that already exist.
I've used it to get in touch with recruiters in companies I wanna join, worked decently well for me.
Haha, yeah, don't worry though - if you're looking for another false-god to worship or a guru with a messianic complex promising to lead us to the promised land, then silicon valley shows no sign of stopping churning those off of the conveyor belt, despite their recent financial problems :)

If anything, I'd expect them to become more frenzied in their efforts.
> Nuclear plants probably kill less wildlife and people per delivered kWh than lithium extraction

Uranium extraction has not negligible effects. Recent case: https://www.rfi.fr/en/africa/20230124-french-uranium-miner-l...

> Even as we ramp lithium production as fast as we can, we’re facing production shortages

Maybe, however the big picture seems clear: https://hannahritchie.substack.com/p/lithium-electric-vehicl...

> We should pick the top 5-10 technologies

Globally we did so during the last 20 years, as many nations (including the US) tried hard to build and then use nuclear reactors and also renewable sources of energy:

> you can't seriously tell me that you want to use UIs that require constant network round trips,

Is this not true of react apps too? I don't write much UI code, but the react/vue codebases I've worked on perform REST/GraphQL requests all the time to render new data.
It had a pretty good premise. But I felt like they couldn’t figure out the rest. The 3rd act felt meh to say the least.

That's interesting, you could get a live orchestra when cost of music production was higher, but no more because big-band music was replaced by power-trios.

That is not at all reflective of reality.

https://japanpropertycentral.com/tag/tokyo-apartment-prices/

Tokyo prices are running 908k yen/square meter, or $685 square foot. While manhattan real estate is $1.5k/sq Ft and San Francisco $1k/sq ft - median incomes are dramatically lower in Japan, as is purchasing power, with the median Tokyo income being only $66k/yr.

There is a reason the stereotypical apartment in Tokyo is tiny - on average 65 square meters (700 square feet), of which only 41 square meters (441 square feet) is livable space.

That’s often for more than one person.

Outside of Tokyo, property is nearly free. Inside Tokyo it’s expensive, crowded, and tiny.

Looking at the national stats, it roughly averages out.

But that isn’t this utopia you seem to think is occurring.
Apparently you missed the memo that the experiments were paid and directed at the request of US NIH
The coverup of the origins of SARS-CoV-2 is a far worse crime than if it did accidentally leak from a lab. The coverup has done serious harm to our ability to understand how these diseases emerge at large scale in human populations.
The US is the largest market for almost any vendor, so more demand in the US will drive lack of supply elsewhere.

That plus...the supply chain bottlenecks were real, and affect the whole world. Supply chain was the focus of the Fed until late 2021 when they realized they couldn't wait for the supply chain to fix itself anymore, and they started to lower demand by increasing the interest rates. The ECB followed the course.

The fact that we focused so much on lowering US demand in 2022-2023 by increasing interest rates, should not distract us from the fact that supply chain bottlenecks are the real issue we are trying to fix (by lowering demand, most of which spiked up because of fiscal policy after Covid), which is a global problem. Jerome Powell was not wrong in saying that inflation was transitory, he was just too optimistic on the time it would take to heal the supply chain.
> The claim that opening up trade with China would have a 'liberalizing influence on the country'

I mean that did happen. It's just that it wasnt for seen that it could be snapped back so violently.

China is still definitely more liberalized than it was in, say, 1980, even if it apexed in 2016 (with a long way to go) and retrenched itself since then.
I got jobs at my current and last workplace through a recruiter reaching out to me through LinkedIn. I'm not necessarily exceptional in my skills and experience, and I don't even have a profile picture. But for recruiters, it is a game of numbers, and all the fish are swimming in the LinkedIn pond. The utility is that LinkedIn greatly dampens half the strain that normally comes with the job hunt - one's own initiative in mass applying, curating companies, hell even finding companies.
As an undergrad, my priority was learning what was most frequently on interviews and what most jobs cared about. None of this fit the bill.

SQL? Yes. Database theory? Have never discussed it beyond "what is an index"? So I never looked at that topic again.

Concurrent programming? Never dealt with it outside of courses and jobs that care about it mention it, so I self selected out. So I never looked at that topic again after the course.

Network programming? Took a course in it, but outside of a few devops use cases, I have never had any reason to recall that knowledge. I just memorized 5 versions of that test and went in to it with that.

My advice to my undergrad self would be to basically abandon anything that is not fun projects (so you get familiar with the languages themselves), hackathons (so you have culture fit), and leetcode.

I can't imagine the average ROI on learning these things is great.
SQL is a unique case. It's important enough that you should know the basics, but it's easy enough to learn that it doesn't really deserve a whole class, unless you're teaching students to build databases, which is definitely niche.

I'm sure it's needed by a large percentage of programmers, but maybe that's my bias speaking.
The inflation was in valuations of everything from homes to equities to startups.

You don’t get to value WeWork at 40B unless interest rates are 0%
> Hacking is the act of identifying and then exploiting weaknesses in a computer system or network, usually to gain unauthorized access to personal or organizational data.

In this case, they weren't exploiting any weakness of the system thus they did not hack. Logging in is an authorized action. Who is using those credentials is another story. Clearly it is a user mistake. It's like leaking your SSN and saying people hacked your credit card.

> I can't imagine literally submitting a House.gov link and some gusana YouTube clip link to try to tell a Latin American that they need to side with the U.S

Second, if you studied Logic at all (obviously not) you would understand that attacking the source is one of the fundamental logical fallacies. In other words, you have no point at all. You can't insult Alvarez and point to House.gov and invalidate what they are saying.

And, of course, calling a woman trying hard to make a difference in LATAM a "worm" is really classy on your part.

As an entrepreneur twice over, it had everything to do with being able to spend the most productive hours of my day on being an entrepreneur and being armed with basic full stack web development skills.

I had zero success in entrepreneurship in my 20s and I was delusional to think I could accomplish anything in entrepreneurship without both of those properties (and I tried multiple times a year for the decade of my 20s). It would take someone truly amazing* to pull off starting a successful business while working a full-time job.

* And I say that in contrast to myself, who has been called talented more than a few times by my managers and still couldn't pull it off until I earned enough money to take time off
> American economists William J. Baumol and William G. Bowen pointed out that the same number of musicians is needed to play a Beethoven string quartet today as was needed in the 19th century—in other words, the productivity of classical music performance has not increased. However, the real wages of musicians have increased substantially since the 19th century.

This raises the question of what counts as productivity, and by what metrics is it measured. Yes, the number of required performers for a given symphony is static, but that symphony is now able to reach far more people, be it in real-time (via live broadcast, and via larger auditorims (auditoria?) with capacity for more people) or after-the-fact (via recordings). Quality is also a consideration here: better instruments, better acoustic design in the venues, better recording equipment, better playback equipment, better storage media (allowing better lossless recording quality), possibly even better performers.

In short: attempting to measure the productivity of an artistic endeavor is unlikely to result in anything coherent.
Plenty.

- A supposed Latin American account; only comments (whitewashing really) are on posts, issues or themes related to China - https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=RedCondor

- An account with no comments elsewhere, bar this thread, commenting on how they want to move to China because: affordable housing, "great Chinese society", "going to let go off freedoms, but whatabout public shootings in the US", etc etc. etc. This is the identical messaging to what China is using on other SM platforms - https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=tiny_ta

- A Chinese / Chinese nationalist's account. If you look through their comments you see they leave mostly political comments with the themes of "russia is winning" (China has been following russia's propaganda almost in almost a complete lockstep.), "USA has not right to intervene vis-a-vis Taiwan", "US elite", posting garbage from "resources largely excluded from the American mainstream" (as usual), 'conflict in Ukraine'. They left comments in this thread as well (a sad attempt at whitewashing Tiannamen). This is more relevant, however: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=xtian&next=34628768#...

Now back to this thread. This is a curious case of an issue being relevant from both internal and external angles. The former - like I said before, the aim is to influence you. The latter - anyone within China who is contemplating to leave the country, just like the author is doing. China has been known to focus heavily on retaining people with technical skills within the country and also campaigning for skilled Chinese nationals to return back 'home'.

Chinese influence operations have been detected everywhere: from 4chan boards to youtube videos and [insert your social media platform here]. What would make HN an exception?

Perennial submission for the university economics department T-shirt competition: “Economists do it with models”
A degree is not at all any basis of skills. It just is a ballpark estimate of what a person might know.

I've been doing interview of freshers since long.

Sometimes they'll know a lot of things, sometimes they can't tell a computer apart from a file cabinet.

One can't predict what a person knows based on their degree, yes it does give you a general idea but that's not the case each time.

Moreover, there are various other factors that you should consider while doing the interview, if they are freshers, like they might be nervous, they might have travelled long and came to the place, many many factors.
The typical core CS curriculum that all CS students are required to take stops around introductory computer architecture and data structures/algorithms. All of the more advanced courses are generally elective courses that students can choose to take (or maybe a requirement that you take 2 or 3 of N courses as a 'breadth' requirement).

None of the courses you listed I would expect of all CS students in an undergraduate degree, and quite frankly, databases is something I would explicitly expect few CS students to have taken (the only branch I'd expect to be less popular to take would be specialization into numerical modelling, although that's more because I expect the people taking such courses to be science majors and not CS majors).
