Sorry, are you suggesting a better way to operate is to have the team go off for like a five week offsite to come up with a plan for the rest of the year? Then once a month, they get a day to figure out if the plan’s still working?

It’s an option, I guess… let us know how it works out for you.
Sure but reusing your gaming GPU is a different scenario. You did not buy multiple extra GPUs for the sole purpose of mining, so you do not have the perverse incentive to run them even when you do not need the heat to have them pay for themselves.
With a laptop and the ability to lease huge clusters from cloud providers, maybe.
This has non nefarious uses too. In a b2b context it’s often prohibitively time consuming to generate really good but non-real demo data.

Sounds very clearly that JPMC was defrauded, and at the same time did a very poor job of due diligence in a 9 figure acquisition.

How did a financial audit not uncover the dramatic mismatch in actual vs. purported activity? How does a transaction value of $41 per user (x 4.25M users) not translate to an auditable revenue stream?

This doesn't look good on either party.
If they’re that incompetent that they need to fake their database and think it’s a good idea, there’s little surprise that they’re also too incompetent to realize that task is only a couple hours of coding.

It is. Hugely expensive, and hugely wasteful.

But a big part of the expense is buying arms. That means that someone is making and selling those arms. And the seller is doing really good business.

I completely disagree with sprash, but you're going too far in the opposite direction. War profits are in fact a thing. It's good business for at least some. Where I disagree with sprash is that I don't believe that those people are the tail that is wagging the dog.

Email: aarpazdera{@}gmail.com

My experience is as a compiler engineer and airplane firmware dev. I have an absolute pile of projects, including two programming languages, some machine learning stuff, some web stuff, and some formal verification and theorem proving stuff.
Good questions. Having been locked into a thing for 10 years it's now likely I will want to sample different roles via contracting/consulting. If I happen upon an opportunity that's a great fit I would then aim to turn that into F/T. It's important for me to find work where I may have a greater impact on the outcome and that allows me to focus more on delivering value and less on political machinations. Compensation is secondary. Basically, I want to setup the conditions for improving the probability of some career fulfillment. And if all that fails then throw up my hands and attempt to cycle back into big tech.
If you ever take courses for a degree in a science like biology, chemistry, or physics, you will often run into stuff like this. We are insanely pedantic about precise terminology because we have to be. If you don't speak carefully you can say something entirely different from what you mean.

To a lay-person it seems like we are just being know-it-all jerks. But it's actually really important to use proper terminology when communicating science information. Scientists spend a lot of their time just learning proper terminology and how to communicate properly. Stuff like the difference between precision and accuracy, centrifugal and centripetal forces, etc...

A good example of this is, that niacin used to be called nicotinic acid. As a result, many people tried to supplement niacin by smoking nicotine. When we communicate scientific concepts to lay-persons we have to be EXTRA careful. We had to language revise and rename the vitamin as niacin to prevent misunderstanding.

Wonder what is the realistic incentive for that?
Levels of banned CFCs rising
>people don't want to be seen looking for a job while employed

IMO this is the biggest factor causing the slowdown in tech hiring. Right now people just want to stay put wherever they are. In the past when someone jumps to another company, it opens a headcount where they were, which gets filled with someone who also jumped another company, which caused a headcount to be created there, ad infinitum causing a constant cacophony of job postings, like a "velocity" of jobs akin to velocity of money.

The combination of slack in the system (unemployed people being hired), low attrition, and some backfills not being done creates a giant dampener on the velocity.
If the economy was a zero or negative sum game we'd still have the same food insecurity we did 500 years ago. But we don't, the world has gotten much better in the last 500 years from people working hard on making it better, many getting rich in the process.
Junk in the trunk
Rich kids does not mean rich idiots and does imply they do no work.

It simply implies that in a case where both have considerable skills and effort, the 'rich kid' will get much farther
see Dennis Ritchie's The Development of the C Language: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/chist.html

pre-C Unix was written in assembly
> I remember some documentary saying that robotics development was ahead in China/Japan

I also had this impression, especially after seeing demos of ASIMO. Looking back, ASIMO was always just a demo, Germany is a strong player in industrial robots, and Boston Dynamics is doing some very impressive demos. I have no idea who is/was actually ahead.
1/2 the companies posting jobs are not really hiring. There may be positions available if someone wows them or if they can find talent for cheap.

The languages in demand change is probably more interesting. Less react positions, rails holding strong, python over taking, first time no php jobs offered.
> I see there's like a million ways this could turn out poorly for society but what the heck am I going to do?

This is, for me, a key issue. It means that we're powerless about this -- if it will be a disaster (and I personally think that the odds are uncomfortably high that it will), it's one that's being forced on us all.

The only realistic thing I can think to do is to engage in the same sort of disaster preparedness that we should all be doing anyway. Particularly when it comes to employment and income.

Powerlessness (real or perceived) is a terrible place to be, and itself can be the source of real disaster.
Focusing on the bigger problem was tried.

It issue was with brittle solder on the boards and wrapping it in a towel and turning it on would allow it to get hot enough to (hopefully) re-flow broken connections.
There are other factors for sure, but without Sweden's recent pro kurdish policy swing, my guess is that both Sweden and Finland would have joined today.
Meta Has Fallen
For adult transportation in the USA at least, riding a bike to work is seen as a luxury rather than an economy.
I think multi generational wealth would mean that people are a member of the capital class and not the labor class (i.e. they don't have to work for a living). Those are the people who go on to be serial entrepreneurs, because, why not? Nothing to lose other than effort.

Anyone else is taking on risk of becoming destitute if they repeatedly try to start businesses. Even a small business can drain a million dollars very quickly.

> You dont need an 8+ figure inheretence to be upper class in the US.

I think you do since that's about the level where you don't have to work anymore, especially if you're talking about passing that money down to multiple children and keeping them in the upper class.
> depending on how you count

I think you got it right there. Be wary of cross-nation statistics without context.
It’s not like they had any other choice. They came to Phoenix because the only other cutting edge fab in the world is in Phoenix. Since their people will be on the other side of the planet, TSMC will need that Phoenix talent pool to have any hope of spinning up their American fab.
I mean you can go even further, you can use ChatGPT to make these fake people answer real emails from JP Morgan. You can completely fake people online. Of course JPM wouldn't have gotten any business from these bots, but it would have been harder to prove that these 4 millions emails were fraudulent.

100% Fake business, fake customers. $175M valuation. What I don't get is why JPM didn't realize that this company had no revenue, unless they completely cooked the books.
Is reproducibility getting better? The last semi-rigorous treatment of the topic I saw suggested there was almost no change over the past decade, at least in the social sciences. It did however use a proxy for reproducibility.
I don’t know. Tickets can still be busy work depending on when you demand them to be done. Sometimes a ticket might best be handled at a different stage in the project to give it the time and context it deserves. If you are just closing out tickets, sometimes out of context and as fast as possible, you are doing busy work.

This could just be bad ticket management with where I work. Or we use tickets in a less standard way. I’m not sure, I work in fpga design so it’s not like a user submitted bug, it’s a request from one of the 1000 review meetings.
Probably a bit nitpicky, but there is at least one place outside the US/EU where it is very easy to find books in English.
Why even consider that another standard could be in use, like others have pointed out in the thread, when you have political priors to confirm? Stay classy HN!
Almost every software company I've ever worked with had this insidious "priority inflation" that couldn't be stopped. It works like this:

We start out with some sensible definition of priority for bugs: P3 = nice-to-have, P2 = low-priority-but-ship-blocking, P1 = emergency-fix-this-now. Bug intake goes on for a while under this system. Some bug filers don't feel their P3 or P2 bugs are getting worked on, so they "promote" those bugs to P2 and P1. That'll show those engineers my bug is important! Now we seem to have more and more P1 emergencies going on, and the team is struggling to just get through those. Nobody knows which ones are actual emergencies, and which ones are just "somebody being passionate about a bug".

Soon, we get an actual pants-on-fire production emergency. This emergency is more urgent than any P1, so we call it P0! Now we finally have a way to mark real emergencies, because the bug database is now overflowing with P1s. Soon people realize they can deem their favorite bugs as really-really-important, so they promote them to P0. Eventually, the database is now overflowing with P0s, and nobody knows what's really urgent. Then another real pants-on-fire production emergency happens...
The 5400s and 5410s had tons of issues with power, heat, and general acpi funkiness but the 5420s and 5430s have been rock solid for my org. I really want an AMD 14" Latitude but I don't think that's happening any time soon.
and proximate to rail and truck junctures

Apparently not if they need to build the rail and highway interchanges.

I think what happened is the politicians promised these things to chip manufacturers because they thought the buildout would be a formality. But political reality is taking those promises off the table.
even worse, I worked on a project where you were not allowed to have comments in code, but if you really felt a need to explain something, you could put it in the projects readme.md, referencing the file and line number and why you did what you did.

Talk about a bone-headed outcome of claiming 'we don't allow comments in our code' mentality.
When are people going to learn you can't "fake it until you make it" anymore. "Allegedly" She's going to go to jail now.
> My theory is that AI optimists don’t address the concerns directly because they actually agree that they’re real and they have no good answers as to how we’ll mitigate them in time.

This is my sense as well.
> The United States spent $264 billion on Project Apollo when adjusted to today’s dollars, according to a new analysis by Casey Dreier, The Planetary Society’s Senior Space Policy Adviser. The total cost of the lunar effort grows to $288 billion when Project Gemini and the related robotic programs are included.

I'd like to see a bit more data pre-covid, but this is a very insightful and concerning chart. Btw, to me it's not relevant whether we still see more comments into the is-hiring vs. wants-to-be-hired, this ratio doesn't mean much, there are other variables to consider. It's rather the uptrend which is meaningful.
$175M could have easily paid for a bunch of domains to run MX servers. You don’t even have to keep the email. Just accept it and send it to /dev/null.

Maybe a fancier scam would be parsing for links and randomly fetching them with headless chrome. But I doubt that’d be required.
Same here. A youth of track, soccer and skiing has bequeathed me a rear that most of the women in my life are jealous of, and yet it is a curse. Nothing fuckin fits right!

After the August 3, 2021 Zoom meeting, the Data Science Professor returned a
signed version of Frank’s NDA. The Data Science Professor’s usual hourly rate was $300.
Javice unilaterally doubled the Data Science Professor’s rate to $600.

[...]

Specifically, on August 5, 2021 at 11:05 a.m., the Data Science Professor
provided Javice an invoice for $13,300, documenting 22.17 hours of work over just three days.
The invoice entries show that the bulk of his time was spent on the main task that Javice retained
the Data Science Professor to perform – making up customer data. The Data Science Professor’s
invoice indicated that he performed “college major generation” and “generation of all features
except for the financials” while creating “first names, last names, emails, phone numbers” and
“looking into whitepages.”

In response to the initial invoice, Javice demanded that he remove all the details
admitting to how they had created fake customers – and added a $4,700 bonus. In an email to
the Data Science Professor at 12:39 p.m. on August 5, 2021, Javice wrote: “send the invoice
back at $18k and just one line item for data analysis.” In total, Javice paid the Data Science
Professor over $800 per hour for his work creating the Fake Customer List, which is 270% of his
usual hourly rate.

The Data Science Professor provided Javice the revised invoice via email seven
minutes later at 12:46 p.m., commenting “Wow. Thank you. Here is the new invoice.”

The start of C and the start of Unix are approximately at the same time. In that time, there was a stepwise process. The first Unix (IIRC, someone can correct me) was written in assembly. Also written at that time was a simple compiled language. That compiled language was used to write a more complicated compiler. There was another such cycle (I think) before there was a C compiler - and even then, it wasn't the full C, but a subset. Unix was then re-written in C.
How much due diligence really occurred here?

I have no problem with charges being filed, but seriously... it's not like the buyer was some kind of low-budget mom and pop shop or community bank. I'm just not very sympathetic to JPMorgan for being scammed in a situation where being wary should be standard.
I follow Goldman Sachs multiple years and their predictions are always changing. I remember in 2020 after March crash they had this prediction (https://fortune.com/2020/03/20/coronavirus-economic-predicti...) which in reality completely opposite happened. There were multiple other similar cases that their prediction was wrong and after sometime they just changed their prediction.
This makes me think that, for some people, gambling may be addictive.
Adding one more voice to the chorus: I got my current job from posting in the who wants to be hired thread.

(It was about 3.5 years ago in my case, but presumably it still works today.)
In essence when working with code stops being the major thing you do (you abstract that away) and start managing the agents working on code and writing the spec, you need new tools and working environment to support that.

This is the flight software used in the Gemini spacecraft (1960s).

The actual assembly code did not survive. It was considered sort of incidental. For the designers and coders then, the flowcharts were the program, the real source.

Similar, last time I was looking (2020) I posted in both and had good responses from quality companies. Basically any HN thread has yielded vastly better opportunities than anywhere else (direct apply, linkedin, etc).
I think many of the founder & vc bets are on being acquired by a big company.

There's also lots of room for cloud versions and consulting or customization services to add value on top of open source, though it's not always clear that the company running the open source project is in the best position to do that.

Personally, I worry about companies that get funding to try and non-specifically monetize open source, because I think it can be a negative influence on decisions made for the project.

I'm a devops and software engineer. I have 6 years experience working client site with client developers to successfully deliver various web and infrastructure projects. I enjoy trying to simplify or automate problems. In my spare time I work on programming language implementation, compilers and database internals. I wrote my own SQL database. I enjoy distributed systems. I work on multithreaded server software, I am interested trying to create performant, fast, scalable and easy to maintain computer systems. I try write lockfree algorithms and highly concurrent systems. I implemented multiversion concurrency control.
Are you just choosing to ignore the actual contents of my responses? Both nuclear and biotech are highly, highly regulated spaces. They are such because their power for good seems to rise in direct proportion to their power for bad. You are the one making the claim that AI doesn’t land on the same trend line as most other technology.

Sure, AI doesn’t seem able to self-replicate yet. Want to know how we’re testing that? By giving it money and directives to self-replicate on shared cloud networks. This is like testing a new helmet by loading modern human life[0] into one and catapulting it into a brick wall at Mach 3. If that seems okay, now do it again at Mach 4. If that seems okay, do it again at Mach 5.

I have seen no remotely believable explanation as to why this is an inaccurate description of what we’re doing.

Sure, we might get a really great helmet out of it. Maybe the best ever. Maybe one that saves lives. But what signal do we have that it has reached its appropriate potential other than it shattering?

[0] This likely isn’t (at this stage) equivalent to loading all of humanity itself into your untested helmet, but pretty close to everything we care about, which isn’t much of a mitigation as far as I’m concerned.

I thought this would be about tech customer service, which has gotten awful. Dark patterns and reduced human interaction galore.

Instead they talk about in-person customer service. I don't mind the more "realistic" personality, the fake happiness was always weird. As long as I can still get the item/food/service I need, I don't need a customer rep/waiter feigning fame positivity when they're just trying to do their job. To be clear -- nothing wrong with unadulterated true positivity, which is still great to see -- but if someone's clearly overworked and overwhelmed, it's okay to bring a more honest representation of their personal state as long as they're still doing their job.
