Yes. I could.

This is one of several possible solutions available to me as an alternative. All alternative solutions to this problem either:

1. Are more expensive to implement, for various values of "more expensive".

2. Are more complicated to implement, for various values of "more complicated".

3. Are less resilient to the problem space, for various values of "less resilient".

In some cases, they are all three. The proposal you made happens to be all three.

If I were to do things all over again from scratch /today/, I might do things differently, simply because I'm more well off and have a more stable physical location than when I set up the last iteration of my personal site (which is still running), but none of the possibilities I can think of are strictly "better" than what I have already done, leveraging Cloudflare.
I don't think that's true? I've never seen a Tech contract that specifies the Baseline hours.

Ask your HR Director what share of non-mass hiring hires were made in the last year from responses to job postings. I guarantee it will be less than 20%.

This is why the cold job search process is so awful. No one cares about the least efficient channel. It should be the last resort in your job search, and it’s absolutely fair to try and game this broken system with a cover letter generator.
I agree with him, but I do worry that cost-effective software development may become drastically more capital-intensive, which will reduce the bargaining power of software developers in the job market. Currently, we largely own the means of production, because the valuable work comes almost entirely from our heads, but that may not be the case for much longer.

How does this work? It sounds like its not a vaccine (your immune system is not invoked) but something that attaches to the spike protein and inhibits it from entering cells. But how could a nasal spray last a long time? Is this something that needs to be used continuously?

I noticed roughly a 3x gain in productivity, but nothing like the kind of 10x output people are scared of, and fearful of being out of a job. In the end, these things are just tools. We will always need a human in the loop to check the code and ensure it does what was intended.

I feel like most hobbyist authors enjoy writing-as-writing enough that they wouldn't use AI to write something for them. But there's definitely a minority who mostly just want a story to exist who probably would use a better version of this process.
There seems to be a typo on the landing screenshot: lunettee instead of lunette.

I didn’t flag it, but I probably would have. The doctor (Peter McCullough) mentioned has been very vocal in spreading debunked information, including:

* Telling people to use Hydroxychloroquine to treat covid

* Claiming that there’s no evidence of the novel coronavirus being spread asymptotically

* Claimed without evidence that the covid-19 vaccines have been linked to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide

And spread or supported basically every other heterodox-sphere conspiracy theory, including that it was a “plandemic”, ivermectin nonsense, etc.

Individual experiences volunteered online are a very low value signal when assessing the efficacy of a medicine. This is why homeopathy exists.

Ask HN: Should countries try to increase birth rate in the era of automation?
Demographic winter is a relevant topic discussed today. Countries are worried about things like workforce shortage or who's gonna pay the retirement of old people -- that's why some countries are pushing to reform retirement, making old people work more years.

But, it also seems obvious to me that we are seeing a new industrial revolution that'll wipe a lot of jobs, so less human work will be necessary. So, why create more people, if more people will be not that necessary in the future?

my favorite interview memory was (for a c++ role) with a guy who had a degree in ancient greek (anyone fluent in ancient languages seems brilliant to me, as i only have a bit of schoolboy french). anyway, this was for a big 6 accountancy firm, and us programmers had to pass the same IQ tests that the accountants did, adminstered by HR. i amazed them by 100% on the visual/spaciel test - HR girl: "golly, no one has done that before!" though what accountants were to be expected to do with this skill i have no idea.

anyway, the guy we were interviewing was given the test papers and a pencil by the HR girl and left him to do it. 5 minutes later he came out of the interview room (i'll call him A):

HR: sorry is there a problem?

A: i've lost my pencil

note this was a very small room.

but once provided with another pencil, he did a pretty good job.

then he got the techie interview stuff with me (project manager/architect) and J (tech lead). this went well - he obviously knew his stuff. but then he offered to show some of his code for his current project:

me/J: cool

A: [searches through briefcase] oh, oh god, where is it???

me/J: collapse laughing

and we hired him. and he was great.

sorry this went on a bit, i had forgot and just rembered. this was about 30 years ago
Dismantling a Crappy Malware Operation
When I last worked in person in IT, a few members of my team would get up at 2pm to get coffee and chat about work and life. Different people went in the mornings. It was really useful to team-build and feel decent about work.

People who say "I don't have friends at work" with pride are completely foreign to me. I don't understand how people are supposed to have any joy at work, or get over comms barriers, when there is no opportunity to get to know coworkers as people.
A few hours, says the article.
As someone considering ramping up on Rust, this sounds disturbingly similar to the JavaScript+NPM ecosystem that is frequently criticized here.

How far along the ridiculous dependency spectrum towards NPM is crates.io?

For example, if I release a piece of nontrivial software built with Rust, how many copyright notices am I going to have to include? (To say nothing of vetting the set of transitive dependencies!)
I was a bit confused too! But then I noticed the subtitle of the article: "The model of aggression and dominance has infected human society. But new research shows how wrong we got it." After reading it I have figured out the answers to your questions.

> Does anyone have any idea what they mean when they say it's a myth?

They mean that men shouldn't strive to be assertive and dominant.

> What is the myth? In what way is the idea incorrect?

The myth is that you can read news without getting constantly bombarded by inane agendaposting.
I have come across this chart multiple times, and I find it quite amusing. However, it got me thinking about what the ideal org-chart should look like. In my opinion, for larger companies, the Apple approach might be the best. This involves coming up with a clear and compelling high-level vision and repeating it consistently. Pheromones in a beehive essentially.

The other thought that I have had is management is kind of like inverse tSNE. At the extreme, one is mapping a single dimension (NPV of the company) to high dimensional space (people doing stuff). No wonder it is so hard.
> perhaps you can simply ask the API to create Python or JS code that is deterministic, instead.

Had a conversation last week with a customer that did exactly that - spent 15 minutes in ChatGPT generating working Scrapy code. Neat to see people solve their own problem so easily but it doesn't yet erode our value.

I run https://simplescraper.io and a lot of value is integrations, scale, proxies, scheduling, UI, not-having-to-maintain-code etc.

More important than that though is time-saved. For many people, 15 minutes wrangling with ChatGPT will always remain less preferable than paying a few dollars and having everything Just Work.

AI is still a little too unreliable at extracting structured data from HTML, but excellent at auxiliary tasks like identifying randomized CSS selectors etc

This will change of course so the opportunity right now is one of arbitrage - use AI to improve your offering before it has a chance to subsume it.
Maybe the thinking was, what bad can happen from being extra cautious, an extra visit from a kind child safety inspector?
The fact that it even occured to you to think that I am talking about sitting pointlessly for 2 hours vs creating value means we are coming at this from different directions.

I think this is cool, and it might even scratch a writing itch I have with literally just taking notes. Your explanation of what motivated building this sounds a lot more like my experience with note taking than writing any other kind of prose.

One nit about the site I haven’t seen addressed yet: overall it’s pretty good on mobile (besides the front page screenshot being too tiny to understand; addressing that is a whole can of worms, but…) the header is breaking the signup button even on my very large phone, and stuff vertical alignment feels weird. You could fix the former, but I’d consider dropping “for free” (it’s a general assumption for most people walking up to a site unless they feel like they’re getting a hard sell) and adjusting styles to fit the content on one line. Definitely look at the vertical alignment though, because it’s gonna look weird regardless of wrapping.
blair braverman (sled dog champion) says something similar about aggression and leadership in sled packs -- the actual leadership skill is 1) when you put a dog at the front, do they run or do they get confused. 2) when the terrain is difficult, are they motivated to find a path
Your anecdote and other similar stories I've heard seem to lend credence to one of the biggest factors for covid spread being circulated air systems.

It's one of the biggest reasons I don't want to return to working in an office any time soon.

because there's a difference between self-reporting on one hand, and observed behaviour and the confessions of those involved when they don't think anyone's watching on the other, e.g. https://archive.is/LA95f
A downside of Rust for applications like virtual machines is that it doesn't have a goto statement. Ideally, both a labelled and a computed goto would be available in the language.
What are the tells of a thoughtful cover letter? Maybe people can incorporate those when asking AI to generate their letter for them.
Some people fear that there will be fines that bankrupt the IA, but there's nothing inherent in this ruling that would impact the rest of the archive.
It's not clear it's a "crisis" yet. (Everyone agrees it won't be like 2008, with large banks ever since then required to have more cash on hand to stave off any possible problems.)

If anything, banks that engaged in risky behavior are now being scrutinized and hardened. (And new kinds of lifelines are being made available to banks in trouble.)

There tends to be a baseline skepticism of the government and the banking sector (especially from vocal cryptocurrency advocates). I think some people are viewing current events through that lens. The future isn't always that easy to predict. (And yet that doesn't mean this is a crisis.)

If someone asks me the dreaded question: 'What do you do for a living?'. I always reply 'I'm a writer'.

Being a writer is such a vague thing and could mean anything. It's an open ended title, and the usual follow-up question is 'What do you write about?'.

You have the freedom to inject anything into the answer. Spout politics, complain and rant about current events, the person du jour etc

I use an iota-carrageenan nasal spray that has clinical evidence showing it's effective at reducing the duration of common cold, as well as some protection from COVID. Obviously, the COVID research is a bit flimsier. It's also cheap, and carrageenan is pretty inert. I use it any time I'm around big groups of people for more than a few minutes.

What do you mean by fixed? Affordable? That means we would have to lower medical professional income and we have a shortage of them. Insurance have tried to push down their rates but they just stop taking insurance so we have to pay more to see a decent doctor. We could be more punitive to insurance companies for denying claims but the cost of insurance would become even higher.

There is no easy fix.
A kid in this house has started an appreciation for the original Twilight Zone, and enjoyed Casablanca before that. Gotta start early I guess. TV is scarce in this house, which promotes reading and feeling lucky to see a great movie, no matter the era.
Not only does it not have computed goto (almost no languages do, tbh), it also doesn't have guaranteed tall-call elimination or allow you to use the GHC calling convention. Which are more egregious, imo.

Yes, a word processing app like MS Word is technically more suitable for typesetting than it is for writing. No, that's not a major problem.

I tried building a similar project some 10 years ago, when "Zen writing tools" were all the rage.

Nobody wanted to pay for it. It wasn't general purpose enough to be usable by the general public. And novelists (who I was targeting) are poor and cheap. 90% of people who say they are "working on a novel" will never finish it to ever even try to sell it. Of those that do finish, 90% of them won't make more than pocket change. For the weirdos who finish and make significant sales, the app they used to write was never a significant problem for them. They usually have an anachronistic approach that has nothing to do with productivity and everything to do with personal taste and comfort (George R. R. Martin famously uses WordStar 4.0 on an MS-DOS system).

If you want to make an app for writers, don't make it around the writing process. What aspiring authors need, first and foremost, is training on how to finish a manuacript. After that, everything else is a minor annoyance in comparison. But some of the most common areas where people seem to drop the ball so close to the goal line are: not having a good editor, screwing up the typesetting, having dorky cover art, and thinking posting on Twitter once a week counts as marketing.

The 90% of dreamers don't have what it takes and they know it. They don't even invest their time, so they're certainly not going to invest their money. Tackle trying to convert more of the 10% of finishers into sellers. That might involve a writing tool as a hook to get people in, but the salable part of the app will probably never be the writing process itself.
No, I think podcast interviews like this are particularly dangerous, given their reach.
Yes, see iota-carrageenan sprays.
I think there logic is the "but what about the children?" razor. "Save _one_ hytpothetical child, and it's all worth it" is one lemma derived from this principle.
This is like https://ia.net/writer (my favorite).
In bases higher than 2, you can avoid the issue entirely by saying that some digits get +1 and other digits get -1.

If the generated number only has digits 1-8, then 0000... vs 9999... is obviously not a problem.
It's probably more nuanced than what everyone else is saying. The Neural Engine compute block can change pretty significantly from one chip generation to the next, and instead of exposing the unstable raw capabilities, they use CoreML as an abstraction to keep the changes out of sight. Is it rather annoying? Yes, but it's a more stable method to keep everyone using the Neural Engine from having their software break regularly.

I'm not being pedantic. I'm pushing back against you insisting that it's a product that can't be good for anyone ever. That kind of black-and-white thinking isn't helpful in general, and is often especially harmful when it comes to diet.

Hah. “Please make the letter you generate thoughtful. Make up an anecdote that illustrates why I’m uniquely interested in this work.”

Apologies. You deserve a thoughtful answer but I’ve had a day. Maybe others can add in, but the most common one for me is when they bind their qualifications to the role by way of one or two (very) short anecdotes or personal experiences. It also gives me something to ask about that you’re likely comfortable elaborating on. A great ice breaker.
