> You might want to ask that of, say, astronomers, paleontologists, or even simply journalists.

You compare scientists with businesses. One of them's job and passion is to collect knowledge for the sake of knowledge. For the other one it would be cost without gain and eliminated if they didn't do anything with it!

No idea what journalists are doing in that list, what do they measure? If they want something measured they'd ask or look at other's services. Unless you mean the business that the journalists work for, but hen it's just that, a business.

That's a weird behaviour to treat a tag as data rather than as a node. The HTML you provided shouldn't display "<strong>How the inventor[...]</strong>" but *How the inventor[...]*, should it ?
There is probably an element of truth to that. But given the number of individuals on HN who are deeply concerned how we'll fund content creators if we get rid of ads on the internet, at least a pretty significant portion of individuals have drunk the corporate kool-aid with regards to this.

While I appreciate the distinction you've made in your post, I would encourage you to not use the word "person" to refer to corporations. I understand the judicial precedent--I'm saying that the law is wrong and we should absolutely not adopt the definition of corporations as persons in to the English language. Corporations don't have rights; they exist to serve people who do have rights. Legal precedent granting corporations rights under the law is a morally reprehensible mistake which should be corrected.

>Android extensively modifies the kernel

That isn't true. While AOSP does include 203 patches for Linux, you can run Android with a stock Linux kernel.
There is also CQ-editor which is a graphical frontend, but I did not manage to get the official release to run on Ubuntu 22 as it threw some import errors.

Cadquery is great, I use it to parametrically create parts for electronics libraries (so a lot of similar looking geometries with slightly different dimensions).
I'd say it's probably not a priority for them right now.

Of course it would save them some money if they could run their models on cheaper hardware, but they've raised $11B so I don't think that's much of a concern right now. Better to spend the efforts on pushing the model forward, which some of these optimisations may make harder.

A company where resumes are pre screened by HR is anyway a no-go. From my experience this has pretty much disappeared in 2023.

You do realize your contradicting yourself right?

Honestly, young wide-eyed new-grad me (which I bet is your target hiring demographic) would have totally bought into your baloney of "making the world a better place through minimal message oriented transport layers"[1], but as a gray beard I'd really be happy to be filtered out of your resume screening, as it reeks of cargo cult BS. I'm paid to do a job, not to join a cult and make that my life and working identity.

I apreciate your honesty though and I hope more companies do this so I can easily avoid them and save us both the time.

Wrong. Elon noticed his tweets had low engagement relative to his follower count compared to other accounts.

After some digging in the code base it turned out that there was a de-boosting factor based on the absolute numbers of blocks your account had, which affected popular and controversial accounts (like Elon’s) unfairly.

This investigation was initiated by Musk but it resulted in a great improvement in the algorithm with no special treatment for his account.

I have the M1 MBP. I use it as a daily driver for my personal computing (I have another company-owned laptop). Currently, I'm doing a little programming in rust and some photo work in Darktable. Of course many others things work too.
I also compiled and ran some 7+ years old C++ projects successfully.

Only thing I'm missing is standby. It sounds a little ridiculous that I have an expensive laptop at home and I need to boot it every time.
I don't think a faraday cage would help at all to stop any actual particles with mass? It seems like even a steel box would have to be rather thick to make a meaningful dent. Astronauts on the international space station are essentially in a solid metal faraday cage, and they see speckles in their vision each time their orbit passes through weak spots in the Earth's magnetic field.

If you're really worried about cosmic rays, maybe you could try to figure out their predominant direction of travel for your location, then store your SSD in an orientation that minimizes its cross-sectional area. I naively assume they're coming from straight up?

You were trying to deflect when the topic is literally lowering standards until biannual chernobyls are the expectation by bringing up unrelated disasters.

Chernobyl being a disaster that was narrowly avoided by thousands of workers shortening or straight up sacrificing their lives to stop it.

You're trying to pretend that the USSR's offici numbers about deaths are the worst a disaster could ever get.

I'm completely fine with you advocating for a Hydropower Regulatory Commission that holds hydro projects to the same standards by the way, sounds great. Similar for ending coal.
I work on Google Assistant Suggestions and I don't think it's very practical to open-source an algorithm like that including the models and the underlying data. Both of them can live in separate services and be frequently updated.

I am assuming that open sourcing the code aims to increase transparency about the business logic of the ranking decisions. At the same time you don't want spammers to be able to easily run experiments against a cloned version of your system.
Great stuff! Curious if you plan on integrating some of the existing dpreview user reviews and Q&A. I have found those to be quite helpful as well. Also, the sample galleries might be too much to ask for given the storage requirements but wanted to see if this is part of future plans as well.

You handwave physics away. Replacing copper with aluminium in an electrical motor requires in fact development of new motor, with worse efficiency. So motors and generators are going to be more expensive either way. Replacing conductors needs bigger conduits, etc.

The copper piping is already being phased out in favor of plastics, roofing wasn't never really widespread, at least here it was used only on historical buildings. The grid has already been using aluminium whenever possible, including large transformers. Despite all that and despite perfect recycling, demand for copper is rising.

It's diferent from batteries where there's still ample reserve between state of art and physical limits. So they can be easily substituted and price inflexed away.
Actually, that's a refreshing take.

And I've only ever gotten jobs through resumes. I have no family, friends, or acquaintances. Most people wouldn't willingly be in my presence were it not for the fact that I can occasionally be useful to them. And I rarely leave my home for anything other then absolute necessities to eat and maintain personal hygiene.

I assume you at least have some level of charisma that would make others think of you positively at combined with skill. As well as some willingness to go to events as you say.

You and I think though are somewhat exceptional in that regard; I assume most people would have gotten their jobs with a bit of a mix of the two in varying ratios.
Indeed. Not funny, just mean… I had my hopes up for a moment, until I remembered what day it is today.

Practically speaking, it is.

`The UK tabloid most known for putting selected words in ALL CAPS is The Sun. This newspaper is known for its sensationalist headlines and use of capital letters to emphasize certain words in order to grab the reader's attention. This style of headline writing is sometimes referred to as "tabloidese" or "tabloid journalism." '

It sounds like these problems are related to their end-user backup solution - can't comment on that as I've never used it.

However, when referring to Backblaze, I think most people here refer to their nice (and cheap) S3-like cloud storage solution, which works perfectly with the likes of restic, rclone and friends. That's probably what you should use if you care about control.

Hopefully not literally in this instance.
At the same time, there is also no reason to beleive they do exist.
"no good reason", except the performance, battery life & build quality?

Different people have different needs, preferences & ideological beliefs to you. If you measure the actions of others, based on your viewpoint alone, you will never understand the rest of humanity.
At least 2-3 times per year Backblaze goes into a safety freeze, and the only way to unclog the works is reinstalling+inheriting the backup. Which involves re-uploading every single file.

Would not choose Backblaze if I was choosing today.

If the hiring pool for this job is global, I think it's entirely reasonable to expect to hear from people that are uniquely suited to the role.

And it goes both ways. These days I pick a job based on whether the work is going to help me learn what I need to make progress on my side projects. If I was searching locally that would be an entirely unreasonable filter, but so far it's been win-win.

While I am no stranger to interacting with developers who seem to only be in the industry because of how well it pays, I find your advice frustrating. My experience with startups is that they demand a lot of A) interest from the candidate immediately, before the candidate has even talked to a human, and B) attention from the candidate- but that same interest and attention is not returned to the candidate. Thinking about the startups I interviewed with in the last couple of years (all via TripleByte fwiw), I have noticed the following patterns:

- The founders/cofounders think they have come up with the best idea ever, when objectively the idea is novel but garbage (usually a solution looking for a problem), and only want to hire people eager to smell their farts all day long (and probably on some nights and weekends, too).

- The interview process is unnecessarily complicated, despite the supposed ahead-of-time vetting done by TripleByte (which used to tout "skip to the final interview", but in reality is "skip the computer-graded, timed Leetcode Easy brain teaser"). In the worst-case, a company had me interview with 4 different people throughout the week, give a 15-minute presentation on a coding project I worked on, and then they expected me to work nights and weekends for an entire week to "test drive" me (the irony here is that while they get an idea of what it's like to have me as an employee, I don't really get to see what it's like to work for them as a company - it's not like I am in their Slack channels or participating in meetings.

- The pay isn't that great. Again, the founders are delusional, think it would be a real privilege for anyone to work for them, and seem to believe that they cannot be too selective. "Give me a candidate who has familiarity with NodeJS on the backend and [Scala/Ruby/Go/Rust] (because why not), is willing and able to work nights and weekends (but it's okay because we offer uNliMiTeD PTO), all for the generous, generous salary of $130k/year.

If you don't draw parallels between these and Wundergraph, kudos, but with each of the startups I interviewed with, I could feel myself becoming more and more jaded until I just gave up. A year later I'm still at my current job, and I'm glad I stayed, but I put a lot of energy into those interviews, hours spent even before I had my first interview, just researching the company, looking at their code (if any of it was public) and coming up with thoughtful questions. Why did these four companies not want to give me a job offer? I'm not sure. It could certainly be cultural more than technical. Despite my cynical attitude now, I promise you I came into each interview with enthusiasm, respect, and genuine interest in the role.

I was also sure they all knew where to find my LinkedIn, Medium, StackOverflow and Github profiles, which all give insight into my abilities and (I think) prove I enjoy writing code and building stuff, and most importantly, that I could probably handle whatever frontend-for-a-database app they were building. Let's be real, most apps aren't that complicated.
Ask HN: To what did you changed PHP?
I've been web dev now 20 years or so. Designing and building tiny, small and medium web apps.
My problem is that php is hated. I have a feeling there is something better?
But for me it just worked nicely without needing to update all the libraries and deps every month because that's not what the customers are paying and that's not what I want to do. But now with php8x more problems are arising..

So what programming language and stack do you use as backend these days?
1. How much does it cost to run (small user base) php is like 7$ / month hosted, no need to maintain linux updates or any of that stuff
2. Does it need constant updating ? Haven't updated many of my or customer's apps in 5 years
3. How many times you had proken libraries and stuff debugging some errors ? with php and wordpress for example this is almost monthly
4. How does it scale ? for example to 20 000 - 200 000 daily users

That directly contradicts the article:

> By Monday afternoon, “the problem” had been “fixed.” Twitter deployed code to automatically “greenlight” all of Musk’s tweets, meaning his posts will bypass Twitter’s filters designed to show people the best content possible. The algorithm now artificially boosted Musk’s tweets by a factor of 1,000 – a constant score that ensured his tweets rank higher than anyone else’s in the feed.

> Internally, this is called a “power user multiplier,” although it only applies to Elon Musk, we’re told.

It seems indisputable that Musk’s account gets special treatment, even if some of the changes may also boost other controversial users.

You did not reference any sources, while the article claims sources inside Twitter gave them this information.
