I make over $1m as a SWE. “Senior Staff” or “Level 7” role at a big tech company everyone knows.

I mostly write code! I am way faster than most others here, and I have encouraged and mentored the people on my team to be similarly efficient.

I also help decide technical direction but it’s far from the “architecture astronaut” stereotype that writes no code.

It’s an infra team so no significant influence on product direction, other than considering our frameworks and tools products. I do consider them in that way, but it’s still a big difference from being involved in the direction of the external product.
Pretty much - although like underwriting natural disasters claims tend to cluster together.
Not sure what you mean. Firmware updates are supported by fwupd.
Those are the demographic criteria that I'd expect to maximize time spent on social media. White + liberal => probably middle class & have some time for leisure; girls => see the number of likes as a measure of their worth, i.e. "girls are pretty" ideology

There are countless books, movies, and songs from before the rise of these concepts that OP has almost certainly not consumed. Presumably OP wasn't just talking about new media, but rather all media, and therefore is probably a them issue and not a media issue.
The whole thing reads like something I might have submitted for a high school writing assignment on a dare.
Fair response. If you don't know what you're talking about, why are you making assertions that are incorrect, rather than asking "what's the process for ejecting if I try tailwind and don't like it?"
Okay, so you can donate $100 to charity, feel warm and fuzzy because it’s tax-free or however you want to think about it, and pay exactly the same amount of tax as if you didn’t give the gift.

Cities almost always vote democratic, the bigger they are, the more true it is.

Cities have high cost of living, and also tend to have high income earners. So tax burdens (and incomes, and expenses) tend to be much higher. In some cases, 5-10x higher.

The largest cities in the US are also in democratically controlled states with high taxes.

SALT allowed many of those high earners in those states to offset some of the tax burden by offsetting their federal taxes. Essentially moving tax revenue from the fed to the state.

So the GOP managed to screw over the primary fundraisers of their opponents and increase tax transfers to the federal gov’t at the same time by capping SALT.

Most of their supporters (and all their key votes) are in rural areas with lower cost of living (and often state taxes) which generally fit well under the cap.
I've usually seen the opposite.

Understandable! I haven’t got tons of feedback thus far. I’ll definitely consider bumping these values up.
Yes and no. Most of my stuff is automated, auto completion and micro code gen. My thinking is the bottleneck, never typing speed. Measured it last summer a few times trying to beat my daughter and I think it was about 60wpm. For coding if I know what I'm doing its probably 30wpm in my editor.

When I was young, I saw the same until I worked with a team of professional devs and the code was clean and performant and easy to get around in.

> VB4-based ERP system that was very slow

Yep. VB4 was made for the transition from Windows 3.1 to 95. The first effort was good enough but not great. IIRC, it compiled to byte code and then a runtime would interpret it. Once VB5 came out with native compilation, the resulting code became very snappy.

> I think VB was such a smash hit not because of the language but because the ease of writing a quick GUI for Windows, there wasn't really anything quite like it at the time.

I agree completely. The language itself was pretty crap, but there was nothing like it for rapid layout and wiring of a GUI. IMO, even modern tools like the storyboards and visual components in Xcode don't quite make it (they're more powerful, certainly, but also much more complicated to use).
>That atleast makes it harder for FTX to claw back that money.

The 'Madoff Recovery Initiative' was incredibly aggressive in going after all of Madoff's family and acquaintances. SBF's family and acquaintances are going to be fighting lawsuits for years and will lose millions.
I wrote it in another comment but thought I had added the qualification here as well:

AFAIU as in, as far as I _understand_.

>Meta getting its ass kicked is a happy bonus for both political parties.

Frankly, it should get this treatment. Its executives have been consistently hostile toward government inquiries and in public statements about its users. The hubris it has shown in its treatment on political speech and disdain for paid advertisers is revolting. The stock structure of the company is a physical manifestation of everything wrong - we can treat the public and the law with disdain and you can't touch us.
May I ask where you are?

Your name is made of Japanese words. Is it Japan?

If you are in Japan, then I think romance should be a goal on the second date if the women are over college age (22).

There are very few inhibitions about sex in Japan (in my experience), and most Japanese women I have dated seem to think it’s difficult to find partners who are keenly interested in romance.

My point is that this fear is irrational: based on a misunderstanding about what LLMs can do, which itself is based on a misunderstanding of what LLMs are.

Is there a way I could have been more clear? Are you disinterested in the content of my comment, or the presentation? The only thing I can learn from your comment is that mine didn't live up to your mysterious standards.
Interesting implications!

Care to elaborate?

> Besides, Microsoft surely has 24/7 watch of their infrastructure, even on weekends

"watching" with a dedicated team vs "waking up everyone in engg because things are on fire" are two very different things.

Besides, size doesn't work that way. The larger the organization and the more complex the product is, the higher the chance some unexpected interaction will occur. There are processes and automation that can mitigate this, but one can never be completely certain.

Not even the aviation industry has mastered that.
Well, looks like the ideation process was cut shortly. A simple "why users don't use our search" could maybe steer the process into a useful direction (or conclude that it's because our users don't need search).

Of course, that all probably happened because somebody involved didn't want your product to have search. Process can not solve political problems.
Turns out there's a workaround for people who have pass through companies (LLCs and S-Corps). If you pre-pay your state taxes from your company those will be excluded from the new, lower deduction cap.

Wild.
Sure, and TypeScript is great, but I was talking about HTML rather than HTML plus all the layers people have added on top.

I'm also not totally convinced Typescript actually answers the point in question. It's a superset of JS in the end, and a part of why Java/C# type languages are popular in the enterprise is the list of things you can't do. Adding types can help, but it's not something that TS can enforce.

Right, for Leovo anyway. So long as you continue to give them your money in exchange for lackluster Linux support, you will continue to get lackluster Linux support.
Gotta look at which way the cookie crumbles or the beam shears - how stress is distributed in a system.

If you take for granted that there is a large amount of emotional strain floating around, where are the outlets?

Men bottle it up and retake control (school shootings, as an extreme).

People with precarious lives can express the stress as worry and fear (mostly women).

Depression is a luxury version of stress - not happy, but also physically safe and not worried for your well-being. "White liberal female teens" = privilege.
Wow. 210+ comments and maaybe 10 of those actually talk about the article!

(yes, I've read them all because I can't believe almost everyone missed the point)

The point of the article is actually neat: a small shell (Fish) script to send query to ChatGPT or DALL-E and get response back in the terminal. As a terminal user myself, this is really nice! (I rewrote it for myself in bash which I use, but used the curl command virtually as is)

The post itself is hilariously over the top (1000x c'mon), quoting 50 Cent and including statements like:

> Unfortunately, due to inflation — real and imagined, 10X just won’t cut it anymore. We need bigger gains, bigger wins, more code, more PRs, more lines, less linting, etc...

Either people really need to be pointed out the sarcasm these days, or everyone's just philosophising about the title (I'm willing to bet it's the latter).
There was a time in the aughts when nail polish colors were prevalent in (sub) compact cars for some reason. Not so much now.
> Long story short, this library solves the function colouring problem

For a great example of this, see OCaml 5 support for effect handlers. It's basically a generalisation of exceptions, very lightweight and elegant. I can't help but think this approach would have been a much better fit for Rust than the current async effort. Monads like Async and Result are a slippery slope into the world of FP, something Rust will never excel at. Effect handlers are an alternative which arguably better align with systems programming.

This is why.

They get paid to do nothing for 3 months, plus they cashed out their stock benefits at a great price per share. Least they could do is not leak source code.

The SALT deduction did not mostly benefit the rich. It benefited people who live in states that actually provide services to their constituents.
Well yes, I think the usual intuition is that the people who preach something (religiously or not) should be better at what they are preaching than the ones they are preaching to. Right or wrong, I think that's a pretty common presumption to make.

Might be small sample, but that sample is also biased to have a lot of knowledge about what they are preaching (supposedly), meaning they put higher importance about it compared to other things.

And so are corporations.
Even better, you absolutely see things in your eye. They're called "floaters". Your brain learns to mostly ignore them.

And if you develop cataracts, your vision tends to "yellow", and you'll be seeing more and more of the lens of your eye, as it becomes less transparent. Cataract surgery (= replacing natural lens with plastic lens) can lead to the operated eye seeing "bright" and un-operated one "yellow".

English is not Latin. It was born deteriorated.
I wouldn't even mind it, but what's weird is that there are active and interesting threads flagged and penalized with "dupe" flag, because they were posted 49 days ago also... but not Beej's links.
There's an interesting ethical dilemma and it must apply to lots of cases.

It seems obvious that nobody should benefit from the results of their crime.* But if the accused is innocent until convicted, shouldn't it be OK to spend the ill gotten gains on their defense? After all, if they win the gains were legitimate, and by induction they were legit until conviction.

How is this circle squared in practice?

* this principle is more easily stated than enforced. Some places don't allow convicted criminals to earn any money from writing a book about their crimes (this rule seems reasonable) but where does it end? Apparently Bernie Madoff got respect in prison for the magnitude of his theft. That was a benefit of sorts...
> Democrat led states have higher state and local taxes.

“More concentrated on higher-income earners” is both more accurate, and more relevant to the effect of the SALT limit (though having higher average income is also relevant to the SALT limit, overall tax burden and distribution across the income spectrum aside.)

E.g., R-trifecta Iowa has a higher overall tax burden than D-trifecta California, but substantially lower high-end taxes. [0][1]

Show HN: Quiver Quantitative Stock Screener
That was my first thought. It’s a hard pill to swallow as we all like to think we’re unique and special. Well…
Considering that the cost of training these things is in the millions of dollars. And the cost per request is on the order of cents. It's likely that AI will operate much like Alexa or the iPhone in that you can't buy a better one than anyone else gets.

Software doesn't really lend itself to custom elitism because the marginal costs are usually close to zero.
This effect will only be exacerbated by the ubiquitous use of AI, which by design is trained on everything humans have already produced, and will trend toward the average in the results it produces. Perhaps this is the key advantage that humans have: the ability to be different?
The SALT deduction cap definitely raised taxes for me and I wouldn't call myself any kind of rich. As a Massachusetts resident I took it for what it is, an attack on people that live in blue states. I am sure it gave D.T. a deep sadistic pleasure to claim "I lowered your taxes" knowing he raised them for millions of people.
The cap is fundamentally unjust since I am paying Federal Tax on money that I use to pay taxes to city, state etc.
Just released the first version of a stock screener for the data on the Quiver platform. It allows you to sort and filter by data on congressional stock trading, insider trading, corporate lobbying, social sentiment, and more.

Might be. I was replying to the "it's hard not to fall in love with the ultra fast feedback loop and well defined colour palette." part where I get the impression they like that they don't have to define their own color palette and just use the one provided.
This isn't the movies/Studios division. More likely has to do with the relative failures of "Marvel's Avengers" (the video game) and Marvel Snap.
It's not that people suspect everything might be written by an AI, but that your comment pattern matches many of the qualities of AI-generated writing. It's overly verbose, reads like the introduction of a low-quality blog article, includes information a human would assume people reading this thread already know, and uses the same sentence transitions and structures we see frequently in last generation's AI output. If you really do write like that—which I doubt—you should maybe get GTP-4 to help; you'd sound more human.
On his staff page he's described as a "leading scholar in the field of tax law". Maybe he was the one that got FTX on QuickBooks after having been paid for 11 months there.
Give me an angenda you want to promote and a segment of the population you want to propagandize to and I can intersect the population by age/race/wealth in such a way that the statistics work and it helps you signal all the virtues at once.

Er, there have been several elections since 2017, when that bill was passed. The Republicans had control of the Presidency, House, and Senate in 2017. They eventually lost all three, but recently gained back the House. Locked up the Supreme Court though.
To which I say, got any sources :P? Also, the ones that do get replaced, are they motivated by being ergonomic or by other reasons? To give an example of what I mean, cars are losing knobs for touch screens, which are arguably not better.
When I had time I was looking for an option to replace the Alexa in my house with an LLM+Whisper. When I have time I'll try to setup an extension to Home Assistant that's capable of interpreting voice and translating that into HA actions.
Meh, you see the Danish flag in one of them. Danish people love their flag in art, celebrations, etc. So clearly it was desired by them.
I've been following his takes and predictions on AI for the better part of a decade and I tend to agree with him.

From what I heard, Elon wanted to take over OpenAI and the other founders refused. This is why he left the org and backed away from further committed funding.

Theres been an ongoing rumour that he brought together a bunch of people to develop a alternative (BasedAI) and to me this campaign looks like an attempt to slow down competition rather than an act of genuine concern.

I cant come up with any other reason to have OpenAI pause research for 6 months other than providing competition time to catch up.
Perlmutter was responsible for the good parts of the MCU. He wanted to focus on good storytelling. From here on out you can expect unabashedly preachy woke propaganda from Feige’s MCU.

"Some of you may lose your jobs but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to save the company" is weak sauce to the thousands of people at Disney who had no influence over their corporate policy and will be out of a job.

Managers and executives are first in line for bonuses and praise so it follows that they are first in line for the chopping block. See: executive pay rates vs rank-and-file employee pay over the past 40+ years. You want increased reward? You get increased risk.
I want to agree with sentiments like this because they serve my interests, and maybe I’m just lazy, but with loose deadlines and minimal pressure I’m just going to be messing around and not “thinking openly about solutions”
Because you already have a laptop? Or they got a laptop from someone like family or an employer?

And unless you're a GNU/Nerd, most people have better uses for their time than scouring through the web to find out if fwupd works for the HW when they go shopping for a new laptop. Most normal people just buy a laptop that fits them best and that's it.

After all, why would they need to do any extra research for this? Isn't the whole internet and HN preaching that the year of the Linux is here and that it "just works(TM)"? Maybe not without caveats.
