I think it varies a lot from university to university (plus they are very young people).

But generally, since moving to Europe, I see that a lot of new grads don’t have that foundational knowledge as you mention. I’ve even had other colleagues complain that university recruiting was terrible because people had zero idea about things like operating systems. My feeling is that unis started targeting skills that were required in the job market instead of foundational knowledge.

In contrast, my uni was very “systems” focused and didn’t really focus on skills employers were looking for at the time.
Mastodon looks like “master-dom” or “masto(urba…) dom” or similar. I also have experience with people giving a weird eye when I mention the name, it’s not pen island or anything but it’s close enough to have caused nonzero issues.

The creepy race to read workers’ minds
Same. Today world is some bizzaro dimension. For example, 15-20 years ago we had conservatives yelling video games are the devil and they need to be censored and some topics not even touched. Now I see same shit from "left" (it's not progressive, it's some fascist facsimile of it) and weirdly enough, a lot of gaming journalism that seems to hate their own audience now.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you here. But, Cydia had millions upon millions of users, and generated millions in revenue.

It didn't protect you at all, it was more of a package manager GUI than a proper store, it just had some repositories where you could upload paid packages. And generally, you wouldn't really install apps from it (with both notable and non-notable exceptions, of course). You would install 'tweaks' which normally were iOS plugins/modifications of various sizes and functionality. They all had root privileges an a lot of it was trust based. I don't think there have been a whole lot of malware distributed in this way.
> Just eat less sugar. Like once a week is fine.

The problem is that most stuff you can buy is so full of sugar that it tastes horrible if you only eat it once a week.
"I don't think so. Please provide concrete examples."

You would get fired in Sweden if you spoke against mass immigration just 15 years ago. The social democrats still ban people who have romantic relationships with an individual of the nationalist party.

Working corporate in the west is about having the correct progressive opinions, dissent means you are an evil conspiracy theorist. Just 2 years ago it was evil and racist conspiracy theorist to say that Covid came from a lab leak.

It's evil to say the the truth until the emperor becomes absolutely naked, such as the case with mass immigration in Sweden. When you suddenly have more murders than the UK (a 7x larger country) and bombings every day it's kinda hard to deny that immigration has a link to crime.
The bundling worked really well. It was time based as well, so you'd end up with this weeks "Updates" bundle and last weeks, which meant I could then scan last weeks to make sure I had everything then delete the whole bundle.

Somehow the way it dealt with notification emails was also really good. I was able to keep on top of github notifications and the became useful rather than noise. A combination of the bundling + displaying the most pertinent link and info instead of the subject line.

You are enlightened.

ML is a tool for results that are just good enough. But people think they can program with it.

LLMs are a good way to get a glimpse of the right answer you still need to get deeper look in topics for:

A: validate the result of the LLM

B: get a better understanding of your topic
On the other hand, I used ChatGPT to try and find the name of a book I'd forgotten, and it straight up lied (listed the synopses of a few similar books in the genre, with the plot points I asked it to search for inserted in the middle of the synopsis).

I haven't tried it with code yet, but I have heard of similar things happening where it fabricates method signatures, packages to import, and so on, wholesale.

It's nice if it has helped you, but I remain distrustful of LLMs.
I was able to get Bing to produce those, but only pretty simplistic ones. And as mentioned, the results were better in the fbp language than in JSON (most JSON wasn't even fully valid).
I’ve never heard “Black Comedy” used to describe comedies by black filmmakers.

However, I have heard name collisions with “Black Arts.” My city hosts an annual event called the “Black Arts Festival” and when I first saw the banners around town, I was confused. I learned the true purpose and have always wondered if some evil wizards mistakenly attend.
> And who identifies value?

I'm fairly sure it's the people that pay our salaries and choose to keep us employed while we do whatever they need to, based on their perception of our output and how the needs of the customers/users are met.

Will ChatGPT and other solutions like that be helpful with the complex, low level stuff? Perhaps, sometimes - depending on how explicit you'll be with your prompts, but more knowledge about what and how to ask will be necessary and even then good results aren't guaranteed per se.

But will they help out a lot of developers with common, well known tasks and problems, for the majority of developers whose job consists of creating a few RESTful endpoints, maybe a database migration and hooking it up to React? I'm inclined to say yes a bit more confidently.

You also seem to sleep an hour more, so some changes you experienced might be due to that.
The answer is in the question - the "polite response" is a polite response.

Bit if you're just looking for validation from the internet to not be polite, then here you have it - it's ok if you don't respond to a recruiter who you don't want to respond to.

> Is feminism only about getting more women into powerful positions? More female CEOs, presidents, ministers, bankers… more women into STEM jobs...

Roughly, yes. But note that the obviously-not-democratically elected "leadership" of feminism is very slanted toward the well-born, highly-educated, upwardly-mobile ~1% of women. And they are focused on a sad blend of looking out for #1 and ideological one-ups[wo]manship. Jane Average is pretty much on her own, and Ivy Ill-Educated "might be better suited" to slave-wage domestic work.

(No, I don't think the "top 1%" of men is any better. But fables of their selfless and virtuous leadership are sufficiently well debunked, these days, that few beyond the young, the dim, and the self-delusional still believe them.)

I’m tempted by YouTube Premium, but at £12/month in the UK it seems so expensive. Thats around double what I pay for Apple TV+, Amazon Prime, or Spotify!

I also don’t really want to use ad blockers with YouTube, because I do want to support the small content creators I watch. But the volume of ads (and especially the unskippable ones!) is getting out of control at times, particularly in the app.

If they brought out a “YouTube Premium lite” or whatever at £6 a month I’d be in.
I do DJ from time to time and use something else.

Im no expert, but wouldn't it make more sense to give the repo-context (structure, source code, PRs, Issues, ...) as embeddings? You could use langchain to generate an embedding and send it through the API, like explained here [1]. It then should have access to the context at inference time, which as I understand is better than loading the context in the prompt which wastes tokens / max. output length and has a limit.

aptX HD is one of the greatest things happened with Android ecosystem. One day I just bought a cheap BT-receiver with aptX HD support and optical output and connected it to my old-fashioned music system (receiver + amp + floorstanding speakers connected by wires). The music quality became so much better compared to 3.5mm jack and I can listen all the music from the internet in my room with decent result.
If they definitely didn't read my profile, I ignore them. Also if they contact me when I'm not even looking, which is most of the time.

The companies that such people are attempting to recruit for, probably share my dislike for those that can't tell the difference between platforms or languages.
> What was progressive yesterday becomes conservative today - think of women's rights, interracial marriage, etc. The same goes for 'who' was progressive.

That's really not what's been happening here, though, and the extremely online activists are not simply people who are ahead of the curve on pushing to fix society's flaws. For example, take trans rights, the main weapon currently used to demand people get in line - in reality it was the boring, normie mainstream liberals who dragged the online activists into supporting that in the first place, not the other way around. Until just a few years ago they supported anti-trans viewpoints that were way out of kilter with mainstream society and demanded trans women shut up about harassment campaigns that went just as much against mainstream norms and values as the harassment that the online left is apologists for today. There's a good chance this changed through younger people with different views coming in, but they had those views in the first place because society as a whole had already shifted.

The difference really, genuinely, and consistently is just toxicity, extremism, and a refusal to accept that anyone who deviates even an inch from their views is a decent person. Those are the things that have stayed constant even as the arguments and the targets have shifted. The culture shifts easily from expecting trans women to shut up about TERF harassment campaigns to justifying harassment of streamers who play a game based on a franchise by someone who liked tweets containing TERF views because the cruelty is the point. While the views go beyond what mainstream society is willing to accept, the direction is extremely questionable. (For example, there have been multiple ugly Mastodon disputes involving server operators trying to shut people up about the long trail of rape allegations that follow one specific trans woman around, pretty much all from other trans women. Paying attention to them is supposedly hateful and an attack on trans women. Again, this is one specific person who's allegedly doing it, the same one every single time - not trans women as a whole.)
I like to first ask Chat GPT to write a prompt that would help it accomplish <task x>, then I check the prompt and edit it if needed, then use the prompt to accomplish the task.
Exactly, the summary states "these findings suggest that a high intake of sucralose can dampen T cell-mediated responses". They fed mice the equivalent of the maximum advised dose for humans, 250 mg per kg body weight. So don't do that.
Agreed. That's mostly the aim.
PiTM (Parasite in The Middle)
The gist is (which doesn't hold universally true), when the CPU is powered up, it initializes its internal RAM, loads in a pre-boot ROM, executes it. pre-boot ROM's job is to initialize whatever it has to, to bring in the initial bootloader which initializes RAM, finds a suitable bootloader program and loads it in. This program, also called second-stage bootloader, is an Operating System in its own right. It can understand filesystems, explore attached hardware, speak multiple network protocols, initialize devices as needed. The second-stage bootloader (there may also be a third-stage) usually then boots into a Kernel. The Linux Kernel invokes the init process and things proceed into the userspace from there.

At each of those stages, the bootloader images, the kernel image, the device trees, and the disk / filesystem are verified ("measured") for integrity eventually anchored on a "hardware root-of-trust".

Ask HN: What is the most useful work-related course you ever followed?
My employer has a budget for personal development of its employees - I have to choose what courses I want to take. I asked around a bit, and the results were interesting! People in completely different roles/departments and even in different companies would answer the same thing 9/10 times: courses centered around soft skills were by far the most useful ones. However, people generally had trouble explaining what exactly it was that they learned.

I wonder whether this is just my social bubble, or also sentiment broadly shared by HN. I'd also appreciate examples of the concrete contents and applications of these courses.

Unlike the luddites, information is so available today, that it'd be easy for an artist to predict the demise of their profession (presumably).

Therefore, why is it not the artist's responsibility now, to look for alternatives, and not wait till they truly become obsolete, and personal resources run out? If you went back in time and told the luddites that in 5 years time, their services would no longer be required by society, would they not retrain themselves instantly, instead of waiting for the 5 years and hope that society has some sort of welfare program ready for them?
Nah. You're missing the point. Get the prompt wrong and it doesn't natter who/what is doing the output.

These models are trained trained on the public internet. As your problems get more esoteric, AI's ability to recall answers becomes less accurate.

> Enough with this silly "but it is math" nonsense. You can come up with a math formalization of an egg but that does not mean a degree in math will help you boil one. Enough with this nonsense.

Formalising 3rd normal form and giving it a rigorous definition so that we can test if data is properly normalised is a big deal. Ditto having algorithms in concurrent systems that we can guarantee don't have logic bugs in them.

If those things aren't math to you, then what are you willing to accept? Do you mean programmers have to sit down and draw an integral sign or it doesn't count? You're correct that doesn't happen, and you're probably setting yourself up to be steamrollered by someone who sees a well known pattern that the academics have been researching for years.

The typical corporate database has big tracts that have been "designed" by someone doesn't appear to have thought very much about how to store data in an organised fashion. It raises the question of what fuzzy thoughts go through their brain since they are only interacting with a database because they have a need to store data in an organised fashion. Hopefully their thoughtlessness doesn't matter, but doing better than that is a low bar.

I should clarify that I did like Banshees a lot (just not as much as In Bruges). I am Irish and I am (positively) surprised it has received the international acclaim that it has, for the exact reason that a lot of it felt quite Irish-specific to me and I didn't think it would travel well.

I would say the island community was more like a caricature of rural Irish society than an accurate representation. I feel like there was a universality to the themes explored but I agree that they are viewed through a very local lens.
