Yes I have heard of that too. Thanks for reminding me of this additional pressure point.

I wonder whether US students studying abroad feel any pressure to serve as remote eyes and ears for US corporations or the government. My first guess is that they don't but that may be my own naive guess since the answer could depend on their chosen field of study and their source of capital for their education. 'I don't know the answer' is the correct reply that I have for that.

One of my best friends landed a job at Google after graduation. She told me about a fellow new hire she met during orientation who said she planned to coast along in the job since she had learned that Google never lays people off.

I'm a junior software developer looking for work. I originally went to school in the Bay Area but decided to run a tiny motel in San Antonio, TX for the last 2 1/2 years.

I most recently worked on an early stage healthcare startup’s iOS app using React Native and worked for a few weeks with a commercial laundry machine company to deliver a fix to their credit card readers on their machines (after disclosing the vulnerability) using some standard Bluetooth libraries.

These were super short part time gigs and I mostly found myself working alone. But I’d really love the opportunity to work with a team again.

I’m open to any opportunity that might suit me or that I can grow into. It could be front end, mobile or backend work. Reach out to me anytime and I’d be glad to have a chat.
I don’t think it matters to their business or customers. So while they may well be taking a stance without even knowing - no one cares. Few are demanding they leave either country (which is the interesting threshold here).
Is it bad that I am happy about this. M2 Max and Pro broke our software, and caused me a headache. Petty I know, but it is how I feel

Sports help bind communities and shape regional narratives.

Whether you are a sports fan or not, I can recommend the documentary series "Welcome to Wrexham" as a fun look into the people and community of sports. (The show is about how while everyone was watching Ted Lasso, Rob McElhenny of It's Always Sunny and Ryan Reynolds of too many movies to name bought the Football Club of Wrexham, a Welsh city.)
Ya, that's pretty much my workflow as well. Though for my little web app, I could give it the whole ball of html/css/js each time.

I haven't seen anyone else describing this workflow. Feed it the existing code, ask it to modify/improve/fix the code and output a new version of all the input code, review diffs.

It has downsides, because you can easily run out of context window of chatgpt-3.5-turbo. But I am getting much better code out of it versus other approaches I've tried. And it's a very efficient and natural workflow -- we're used to getting and reviewing diffs/PRs from human collaborators.
Polars author here. I have run the TPC-H benchmark against polars and pandas 2.0 backed by arrow types.

https://github.com/pola-rs/tpch/pull/36

Pandas having arrow as backend is great and will make interop with the arrow community (and polars) much better.

However, if you need performance, polars remains orders of magnitudes faster on whole queries, changing to the arrow memory format does not change that.
you dont get the devs who spend their day on twitter instead of writing code to read your thread if it doesnt mention "modern" at least once. /s

Its quite obvious that the author "dumbs down" all the information for a very non-developer audience, so I assume that gives some leniency. If you tell people that we have had things like mmap() for decades, they may start asking too many questions about why every piece of software underperforms so horribly below what was possible decades ago.

Bit of a rant, but I feel that we lose a little bit of potential every time a developer calls operator<< on a std::istream in a loop.

I appreciate Telsa's ambition to push technology forward but they shouldn't experiment with customers in real time like this. You want to replace parking sensors with vision, go right ahead, prove it in the lab first, don't remove the parking sensors and just assume that the engineers will figure it out.
There is no doubt FRR had value, but like all tech, there was a complexity that came with it, so it really only made sense for certain applications. Heavy voice/video networks were a no brainer, but other TCP-based applications that were less sensitive were of less value, esp. as IGP convergence improved.

thatDot has created the world's first Streaming Graph, called "Quine" to make interpreting high-volume data streams dramatically faster and easier [1]. After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.

We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal.

Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!

Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:

- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.

- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.

- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.

- Databases like Cassandra, RocksDB, and more.

I think you have a good point, but you're probably getting downvoted because on first read it came off more as you were defending the use of chatgpt (rather than criticizing the absurdly fast output).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you're pointing out the absurdity of publishing every 2 to 3 days and implying that it was already essentiallly garbage he was producing, and chatgpt was just polishing the garbage (which IMHO, as you stated, the garbage production is clearly the bigger problem, not the polishing).

Seeing this as "pushing technology forward" is a pretty generous interpretation. It reeks of cost cutting.
Kites are incredible for sailing downwind; however, they don’t produce sufficient thrust when sailing upwind. The vast majority of container ships travel faster than 15 knots causing most of the wind they experience to be upwind.
> What about the medical costs from getting hit, or if you get hit again and are injured to the point where you are disabled for some time?

The motorist's insurance paid for that. For incidents where that doesn't happen, this is stuff I have my own insurance (including critical accident insurance) for. Also as I keep riding, my judgment gets better, my knowledge of the area gets better, and I can anticipate/avoid danger more easily. I can't really speak to motorcycles because, due to their higher weight and beefier motors (compared to, say, a scooter or e-bike), they are subject to significantly different rules and cannot use separated infrastructure like multi-use paths, cycletracks, protected bike lanes and sidewalks. My commute from Arlington to DC is about 90% covered by separated infrastructure. I have to deal with cars when running errands inside the city but typically speeds are much lower and there are usually low-stress routes available.

I mean ultimately there is a nonzero risk, both financial and bodily, much as there is when you are in a motor vehicle. I've had plenty of friends facing surprise three- or four-digit bills due to mechanical issues or damage with their car. In the DC area, motorists frequently crash into other cars while on highways or stroads, sometimes killing themselves or others. Vehicle manufacturers have superbly played the public by using the fatalities of their own vehicles as a marketing point to sell even larger and heavier vehicles under the guise of "safety" that cause even more fatalities in a collision scenario. It's an arms race and I have absolutely no desire to play a role in it.

Hello! I'm a Software Engineer with 11-12 years of experience (3 of that is full remote). Currently working at Amazon. I have experience in large scale distributed systems, designing, implementing, and maintaining them. I have oncall experience. I also worked at small startup sized companies before.
I'm just exploring whether or not it's useful. If people continue using it and/or it evolves into something more useful, I'll likely charge a monthly fee for access to certain features (e.g. longer pdfs, merging multiple pdfs into one bot, having multiple bots). The plan is to keep it partially free though
It's not even so much that I want to do it as that I want to know whether it is possible. Personally, I think it's quite an important issue and we should be able to talk about it and make an informed decision.

Anyway, today on Hackernews there was a post about abandoning github because developer doesn't want Copilot to learn from his code.

I know a lot of people who are asking themselves the same question as me. How do not fed the GPT chat with my blog posts in the future. Suppose someone publishes unique data and want it to be available for humans, not machines.

In addition, we have something in the law like copyright and we should be able to decide whether our code, texts, graphics, can be copied and processed in someone else's software.

In the meantime, I found two solutions:

I was an Apple service technician up to 2016, then I gave up on it because 'repairing' (basically logic board replacements) the new machines (that involved cutting and gluing and other silliness) became too onerous and, quite frankly, depressing.

Personally I have a mid-2012 13" MBP, 16GB, 1TB SSD, 2K external display and a third displayLink display running Ventura and it's still going strong. I have several more for giving coding lessons / as backups for me ;) I dream of the day Apple goes back to making something as serviceable as them, but I won't lose sleep waiting.
>How often does a laptop go strong for 9 years?

I think this is standard for most laptops that cost over $600

Or at least my experience with my Asus and Acer brand 'gaming' laptops.

My computer from 2014 is still my daily driver and I use it for modern gaming. This 2014 computer even does CAD with no slowdowns, its really hard to justify buying something new. I can afford a new computer, I just havent had a reason to. Maybe with AI, I might spend like 35k on a tower so I can run my own LLMs.
That's the joke, though? It's k8s, but "smaller".
Is there any advantage of running k3s if you want to keep etcd? I understand that most k3s performance gains come from etcd being replaced by sqlite but if you still want a HA control plane, sqlite won't cut it.

This seems a reach to me. I think your confusion is not unfounded and is not uncommon, but I think it's also extremely (and moreso?) common to read the sentence as the author intended. It took me 0ms to puzzle out the meaning because the intended meaning was the natural assumption of my brain.

Besides that, it seems a bit absurd to me to say that "and" and "as well as" have entirely distinct meanings. They're not totally interchangeable, but there is overlap.
Yes! It's the similar with Norway. One of the largest exporters of oil, but entirely hydroelectric for electricity generation. It's the fjords!

Show HN: I created an app to listen to my books while I work
I like to gain knowledge but I hate reading and I don’t have much time to watch youtube videos. Podcasts is an option but they have more ads than information. So what can I do? I listen to books.

If I have a physical hard copy of the book or a PDF/EPUB soft copy I don’t have any problem I just use my app to convert them into audiobooks and use voices that sound like narrators from movies and listen to them while travelling or coding or cooking it doesn’t matter what I am doing I just listen to my favourite books.

My app not only converts pdf and ebooks into audiobooks it can also convert images to audiobooks. So every night I just scan a few chapters from my physical books through this app and the next day I listen to them while working.

Imagine you complete your books or reading quota by listening to them. A major boost in my productivity.

Still awesome, I've thought about this actually, especially for transporting high value goods inland from difficult environments to ports (I'm thinking deep in the DRC or in West Africa during the rainy season when the roads are basically unusable) but hadn't considered the overall replacement of cargo ships with them.

It's true for databases, but this usage is closer to how shared libraries are loaded, just with extenal data.

Also just to show how buggy mmap is, it's disabled in SQLite by default for example:

https://www.sqlite.org/mmap.html

Even now the windows version is buggy, but the great thing is that after it's fixed in llama.cpp, the open source community can just copy the solution.

I don't know of many interactive utilities that were known for fast startup time _because_ of the use of mmap, but now we have one, which means many more are coming :)
It's exactly the same thing: you bought a stolen good, please return it
It’s really crazy they removed the forward looking radar too, those are so useful and life saving when used for emergency braking. They can even “look”under the car in front of you and get a return for the next car in front of them, to better predict braking needs.
How much do these sensors even cost?
