Correct. In a stick welder I care about: working all day, in the rain, up a ladder, at 130A. For ease/quality of the weld, I pay for quality welding rods, not more settings.
I know this probably isn't helping, but have you ever thought about building a startup?

This lull might be a good chance to launch something or find a scrappy team to join.

Hardly advice if your situation demands something more stable. I just wanted to speak to the possibility.
I consider reddit comments quality to be like a age- and exposure- ladder and not everyone needs to read everything. By that I mean all age groups and expert levels (and now bots) are at one place making it hard to know what is relevant for my context. LLMs will help us navigate the reddit comments on client side. LLMs will prepare a summary report of the reddit discussion and highlight those which need our attention.

I have a bag of BIC Cristal pens that I've been working through for over a decade now. There are still a few left. What am I missing?

I've used a lot of random pens when signing my name at various places of business, and none of them seemed better to me than a BIC Cristal. In fact, many are so much worse that I usually bring my own BIC Cristal to places where I know I'll be filling out paperwork.
I've not been actively looking for a new role, but the number of inquiries in my LinkedIn inbox has dropped from 6–10 per month to 1–2. I think there is an overall slowdown in hiring, especially in FAANG, and given how many open positions they were hiring for, it's a significant drop that can be felt, especially in the Bay Area. I believe that with the recent news coming from Twitter and Facebook (cutting middle managers), there will be significantly fewer open positions in middle management roles.

Because they wouldn’t have the followers’ email addresses, which is a big advantage to Substack.

To me it seems to be clearly pointing out the injustice of the "three strikes" law.
Not just you. I would guess, optimistically, I’m averaging a 5% conversion rate of applications to recruiter chats/“stage 0 interviews”. That is, ~95% of applications yield silence or a generic email rejection without any human contact.

~15 YOE, FAANG experience, usually only applying to roles I feel I’m at least a halfway good fit for (i.e. not a complete scattergun approach).

I’m (financially) fine for now, which is very fortunate. I wasn’t even laid off - I quit voluntarily and took a sabbatical while the good times were rollin’. But since I started looking seriously again, it’s been hard to shake the sense of time disappearing with nothing to show for it. I’m better at Leetcode (ugh) than I’ve ever been, but so is everyone else, and with the slow drip of actual interviews, I only get to demonstrate it once or twice a month :)

ETA: A few of the recruiters I have talked with have mentioned that they’re getting hundreds of applications within hours of a posting going live. So there is likely a “lost in volume” effect as another commenter mentioned. In fact, for some of the roles where I thought I was a great fit but got a generic rejection without a recruiter call, I’ve had some eventual success simply reapplying for the same role, at least when the recruiting platform allows it (some don’t). For reasons of culture and upbringing, it took me a while to get comfortable not taking that initial, faceless “no” for an answer, but it has worked at least twice so far.

It's not just Reddit. Over the past 6-12 months I've noticed that most of the places I "consume" at have all gone downhill due the monetization/commercialization by the content creator. I used to spend way too much time on Reddit and Youtube and would use tools like SelfControl and screentime to moderate my usage. I've noticed that recently I don't have to do that anyone. Everything has turned into a money grab and I'm no longer interested in the content. My current reddit routine is scrolling for a couple of minutes, realizing I haven't seen anything interesting and I lose interest and close the app. I have a 15 min screentime timer for reddit and I don't even hit it anymore. The same goes for youtube. There are just a handful of specific youtubers I follow now, the rest I feel like I'm being sold something or is just low quality content created for the sole purpose of inserting ads into.
Mathematics is a vast subject and I can’t keep track of all developments. In 2010 there was a paper on meadows. I’ve never heard the term before. In that paper it is written:

As usual in field theory, the convention to consider p / q as an abbreviation for p · q−1 was used in subsequent work on meadows (see e.g. [2,5]). This convention is no longer satisfactory if partial variants of meadows are con- sidered too, as is demonstrated in [3].

So, as I’ve stated many times, I talked about convention and indicated you can use whatever terms you want. In the paper quoted above they acknowledge what the convention is. That is that division is multiplication by the inverse. They are arguing that it is worthwhile in this new algebraic object to change the usual notion a bit. If people agree to a new usage of the word division then definitions will change accordingly. None of this is pertinent to the spirit of the original question given the context under which it was asked. All of this is highly technical.

Definitions and notions change as new mathematics is created (discovered?). This happens all the time. All you have to do is convince other mathematicians to go along with it.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/0909.2088.pdf

EDIT: Regarding what you wrote in your other comment: The analogy is not apt in my opinion. It’s hard to say zero can’t exist because the nonzero…. The moment you say nonzero means it does exist. I think a better way to look at the situation is:

I have an object that is a group under a binary operation f. There is another natural binary operation on that object that operates with f in a consistent way. That operation doesn’t form a group but if I add a symbol to my set and give these rules then both operations interact in a consistent, natural way. I get a group under the new symbol with the second operation while preserving the group under the first operation minus the new symbol.

With extended complex numbers you don’t quite preserve the structures or properties that one normally wants so I’d say it isn’t true division. It is division like.
> reposted comments from the last time XYZ was posted

This gets me the most, as its fueling all the rest. So many top comments are just bots posting the exact same text as the last time the link was posted, which is done to farm karma for selling to marketers, propagandists, and of course, more spammers, continuing the cycle of garbage.

LISTEN and NOTIFY are the common approaches to avoiding polling, but I've not used them myself (yet).

I am amazed at that too. If you need to pay attention and intervene, it’s clearly not ‘full self driving’.
I believe I've seen some comments that may have been LLM-generated. Typically they're top-level, short (1-3 sentences), somewhat on topic, but barely relevant to the conversations happening.

Like, for example, on a post of a blog post about a malicious package found in NPM is I'll sometimes see a post like;
"NPM is a godsend for developers. Problems can occur, but it has helped developers move more quickly and has made sharing code a breeze."

I never report it since I'm not quite sure if it's generated by a program, or merely just a low-effort comment from a human. Which is tricky.
Many people have left, including myself, due to imperious, chaotic, and plain mean mismanagement. Thus making it vastly less interesting and more trollish.
Four startups in. One break even, one still going (micro vc fund). Two failed.

Not sure if I’m up for it at this moment.
I might be accused (by some) of being on the right.

It's not that I don't want to "fix mental health". Who wouldn't want to wave that magic wand and be able to justifiably claim to be the savior of what I sometimes read is as high as 20-40% of the population of our country?

That said, I feel like it's a problem that can't reasonably be solved by anyone. Not because they're unwilling or incompetent, but that the science just isn't there. Everyone today wants to solve infectious disease, after all. And we actually manage (sometimes) to accomplish that. But if the year were 800AD and you complained that those in charge weren't solving the perplexing miasmas and dark humors that were making people sick with the black death...

You'd have been a fool. No one knew how to deal with those things then. And no one knows how to do something about mental health now. There seem to be medications that sometimes help some people, but when they don't work (or when they do!) no one can give a straight explanation why. The psychologists fail to give us a working theory of the human mind such that we can (even hypothetically) understand why someone is schizo. Or depressed. Or has OCD.

Don't get me wrong. I am not blaming the left for not fixing this. It's just intractable. Everything I see suggests it's likely to remain so into the indefinite future.

Both sides should stick to "building more housing" if you ask me.
> In the interview you quoted, the word "dangerous" is used once:

If you're familiar with the situation, you know that homeless frequently talk about the dangerous nature of shelters as a reason why they don't want to stay there. I hope that any discussion about the issue would at least be aware of that. The article I picked was just the first one that come up on Google in case people were new to the situation and didn't know much about it, but there are plenty of others you can find with even a quick search:

> Likewise, respondents said they found it hard to coexist with others battling mental health issues at the shelters and that it sometimes led to issues such as fights, which made others feel unsafe.[1].

**

> But shelter beds seldom keep pace with need. And some people, like Carver, avoid shelters even when they are available. They say they feel unsafe and uncomfortable in the shelters, or they impose rules they can’t follow.[2]

**

> They refuse to go back because they feel unsafe in them. Whether due to mere paranoia caused by an individual's unfortunate battle with mental illness or is a legitimate take on the reality of the conditions within the homeless shelter itself, the feeling of unsafety is as real as it gets. Some individuals site witnessing violence, drug solicitation, or theft as reasons it is unsafe to stay.[3]

That's the way it is being implemented cities trying the "housing first" approach, though, and with predictable results (long time residents having to move as there's a sharp increase in crime and violence in the building).

Well yeah, all the big companies have hiring freezes and there's currently a ton of talent looking out there.

Give it some time and investors will demand growth which can no longer come from cutting people, so they'll have to start actually growing their products and will need people for that.
> software engineering probably requires at minimum, using conditional logic, using a debugger, looking at stack traces and a profiler, and working with data structures / algorithms.

Forgive me, that feels like a post-hoc rationalization of a gut feeling.

I would have said engineering is a set of practices and approaches for solving problems within a framework of requirements and constraints. That's rough, but you get the idea. Software engineering is a sub-discipline of that which is related to the realm of software, just as mechanical engineering and genetic engineering and (perhaps) prompt engineering are just flavors defined by the medium. Software engineering isn't defined by the use of some particular set of tools, I don't think any flavor of engineering is.
Despite having almost twice as long of a career Jensen has only a third of the citations Gould has. Goulds work continues to be influential in the field of psychology, while Jensen remains a controversial figure at best. Jensen spent his entire career trying to prove the existence of the g-factor which to this date remains unconvincing among the rest of psychology. Jensen’s work includes collaborations with other controversial and disgraced pseudo-scientists and eugenicists like Richard Lynn, while Goulds collaborator includes other influential figures like Howard Zinn and Richard Lewontin. The Wikipedia article for Jensen cites three separate authors criticizing Jensen’s findings, while the one for Gould doesn’t even have this section.

These are some of my reasons for believing that Jensen’s reputation isn’t that great, at least compared to Gould. Now why do you believe the opposite?

The consensus is largely social, because for a transaction to commit it must be (digitally) signed by the correct counterparties, and people holding duplicated and adversarial copies is a real problem that does cause disruption to business on a daily basis. If two organizations have two documents that claim to be the same thing but differ, how do you decide who wins? Ideally you never get into that situation but it can easily happen in many ways.

Still, I'm not trying to sell this stuff to you. If you don't believe these problems or the use cases exist, fine; the world is full of people who deal with them and would indeed like solutions.
Reddit used to be good gathering spots for niche topics, where users reveled in each other's enthusiasm for said topic and could generally trust that marketing wasn't the poster's goal.

A mindless chatbot:

- Isn't actually there to be enthusiastic, hence isn't fun to chat about a topic for long.

- Cannot practically keep up with new developments in the topic like regulars do.

You arent totally wrong though. A bot isnt that different from a karma farmer, and TBH GPT4's confident nonsense rate is lower than many humans.

> Twitter is a _great_ idea IMHO. It could be _the_ tool to do _any_ communication.

I mean, this is where I centrally disagree. Twitter shouldn't be this. It should be a microblogging platform that integrates with the rest of the web, not the revival of Web3.0. You shouldn't trust a business to handle "any communication", which is why FOSS software has dominated all truly secure and worthwhile messaging protocols.
> A more detailed spec [...] means more actual code for someone to write.

No, it doesn't. A detailed spec has the same amount of code to write as a spec for the same thing with less detail; for the types of specs relevant to this discussion, the primary requirement of "does what the other browsers do" exists whether the details are made explicit in the spec or not. More code is a consequence of an increase in requirements, not detail.

In any case, neither circumstance is I/O bound to begin with.
Developer here, why wouldn't you just install the official pip package `ddcci-plasmoid-backend`?
People say stuff like this because it's fun to talk about, not because it's a live issue. Do you actually want to bet? There aren't a lot of serious odds you could suggest for this where I wouldn't bet she shows up, like everybody else does.
They raised a ton of money on a high valuation, spent 25mil to make 1 mil last year and are now scrambling to raise a new crowd sourced round because they don't want to get wiped out in a down round.

This notes thing looks like an attempt to pivot to an advertising based business model and I'm guessing they think they have "influencers" on their platform to bring in a decent audience.
You're going to have tyranny either way. Either you have oppression of the mentally ill by the government, or oppression of society as a whole by the severely mentally ill who takeover public places when they become homeless, commit murders etc. The rights of a few do not always supersede the rights of the many.

I'm not saying we should involuntarily commit everyone who shows some symptoms of mental illness. I'm saying we should aim to treat those people before it becomes necessary to commit them.

I'm old enough to remember we were all "science" supposed to be entirely underwater by now. Yet here we are quibbling about millimetres? First it was "the coming ice age", then "global warming", now its "climate change".

What's next? The "millimetre sea-level imbalance catastrophe"?

I'm over it. I've lost my respect for climate science, and the field has done that to itself. It needs to take full responsibility for its repeating cycle of "alarmism -> failed prediction -> u-turn" that caused me to.
> I don't want any elites getting special treatment either...

These days I normally roll my eyes and stop reading when I encounter someone saying "the elites" but in this case it is 100% appropriate: she was a member of a wealthy elite, and both deliberately and casually used her connections from the get go.
Kind of a nitpick but glaciers are made of less dense fresh water compared to the salt water of the ocean. So melting glaciers will slightly increase sea levels.
"We have to do something, and this is something, so we have to do this". :/

Clearing doesn't work! We do sweeps all the time in SF and Seattle etc and it doesn't get rid of the homelessness problem, it just deepens the problem by throwing out the few possessions those homeless people have and removing any remaining stability they have. They will still be homeless.

Verso has a big collection of pop-leftist books on geopolitics in many different regions.
That would be a bad idea.

Skipping town on a sentence puts one in a rarified category where enforcement is now a federal problem, and the FBI has long memories, an international reach, and no statute of limitations on how long they can hunt a person who is sentenced. At which point, if they fall back under US custody, they get to start their sentence (as well as go on trial for the additional penalties associated with fleeing custody).

I'm aware of one case where for a suspect in a murder, the FBI put together a yacht party in a foreign country, got the target on the ship, sailed it out to international waters, and took them into custody at that point. I'm loathe to see what ends they'd go to to apprehend someone with a sentence hanging over them.
150 resumes sounds like you're just shotgunning them out there willy nilly. Maybe take a more nuanced approach and work your network a little bit. Your network could even just be people you've worked with in the past who respect you and enjoyed working with you, doesn't need to be people you actively keep up with.

> Some players told Rest of World that although they don’t mind AI-made avatars and skins, they wouldn’t pay as much for them. “As a consumer, I hope there’s human labor behind my purchase,” said Xie Jinsen, an algorithm engineer in Shanghai, who plays mobile battle games such as Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile. “Emphasizing how something is made by AI will make people feel it’s cheap.”

Interesting, right now there are plenty of AI generated art as NFT for example. But I am wondering if it is possible that in the future there are so many AI art flooding the internet, where NFT and its gas fees could serve as a good filter for actual authentic human created art. Just a thought..

I don’t think the FSF is intended to be Stallman’s personal support network first and foremost, and I particularly don’t think that is the premise it has used in raising funds. To the extent that the FSF has become that, that's an even more serious problem.

> The question is how the landscape would look like today and if there even would be “open source” in the broader sense as we see it today, with permissive licenses, if it wasn’t for him.

If we were talking about “should Stallman be inducted into the (hypothetical) Free Software Hall of Fame?” sure, but that’s not the issue.
