> Like why is Netflix considered a tech company instead of a media company

Before they started making their own content, Netflix was a pure tech company. They pioneered a lot of the streaming technology we now take for granted, and they were the first to solve some very difficult challenges.

Recently the market re-priced Netflix stock to be more like a media company, so reality has caught up.

Oh no. Some boomers just lost 4% of the wealth that the world handed them for nothing.

I think this MIGHT work at a lot of smaller companies, but BIG tech companies tend to have a policy that you are a security risk as soon as you admit you're quitting. I suppose that falls under the umbrella of "working for a competitor"

If you work for Microsoft (for example) pretty much EVERY tech company is a competitor of theirs because they have soooo many products and services.

I saw this happen multiple times. You tell them you're leaving, and get escorted out by security. It's just not worth the risk for them.

Based on another bug report, I am going to guess that you have a noscript feature enabled, and you chose to ignore the large noscript warning at the top warning you that the site is going to break in a bunch of ways if you don't enable JS.

We've fixed the blanking of collapse regions with noscript... we think. So it should at least be visible. But you should know you're going to run into other errors because JS-less is not supported and is hiding an ever-increasing fraction of the site from you, between annotations & transcludes.
Here's the specs from Edmund's:

2022 Tundra 4-door double cab 233.6" 77.6"

So with Tundras, there's no way to directly compare since they didn't offer double cabs in 2002, and offer only them in 2022.

But with Tacomas, you can see that in the same category, they've gotten about ten inches longer (while losing some bed length!).

A 2022 Tacoma access cab is 212.3", less than five inches shorter than a 2002 Tundra access cab.
Whose worked at a company that's done this well?

I try to advocate having good prep & async ahead of time communication so much. People seem to love using meetings for announcements & sharing stuff though.

We made a surprisingly good take on it for our Architecture Design Reviews process at , but we rarely use that process, and it's clear a lot of people don't take enough time to consider & write questions/comments ahead of time like the process says.
Did you ever ask a ny cabbie about the pay? Unless you had an extremely rare owner operator, everyone hated it.

At least with Lyft the id of the complainer matches the registered id.
Do you have any sources to back up your claims? I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of any propaganda where an 1 million investment would cause 100 million worth of unintended harm.
Sadly there is practically no profit potential in solving this problem and capitalism has a tendency to drive it to ruin.

People will pay you - both directly and indirectly - to shift the opinions of others. That can be wildly profitable. People are reluctant to pay for access to informative and genuinely objective news and information, though.

It either gets treated as a public good that is nurtured with public money or strict rules (e.g. fairness doctrine) or the river of information gets filled up with toxic sludge that becomes fertile breeding ground even for flat earth conspiracies.
Google has however also been very careful about parity in functionality between the Play Store and sideloaded apps form the beginning.

Only very recently have they started cracking down on third-party in-app payments and subscriptions, and otherwise I think they have basically approved everything that's not either outright malware or illegal, significantly including third-party browsers, VMs and emulators and other things that Apple bans by policy.

The group of gatekeepers is not small. When Science Twitter was still a thing, two common topics were editors complaining about how difficult it is to find peer reviewers and academics complaining how many review requests they get. Pretty much every established researcher is involved in the gatekeeping, and they can devote as much time to it as they want.

In many fields, preprints have been an established practice for a long time. That allows us to see the alternative to peer review. The main variables that predict how much attention your preprint gets are your name and the topic. With all its imperfections, peer review at least gives a second chance for less known researchers working on less fashionable topics.
Great counterpoint. Though I fear there is a moral hazard if ones wellbeing depends upon corruption, even far away. Corruption undercuts a stable and healthy society. Taken too far the rule of law becomes weakened, and that doesn't generally end well.

Maybe instead of fixing bicycles or facilitating scams they could just do honest remote work for richer societies?
For people who say they have nothing to hide, I ask them why they have locks on their doors, passwords to their email, and clothes on their body.
This might be some run-of-the-mill weirdness, but I was using a Microsoft file globbing library recently (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.exten...) and it handed back filepaths with forward slashes (instead of double-backslash), even on Windows (and in .Net Framework). I don't know if this is a library someone developed for .Net Core and forgot that it also was going to be used in .Net Framework? Anyways, another reason I don't like the occasional dip into Windows I have to do at my job (which is 80% mac/linux).

Seems like she supports abortion rights, which definitely doesn't give the government more power over people than criminalizing them.
The Party(TM) must love types like you.

There's a huge subset (dare I say majority) of those "patriots" you deride who don't like this stuff, don't think their goings on are any of the government's business. But of course you ignore that because they don't want what you want on meaningless social issues.

Apple lets big companies get away with behaviour smaller developers would get instantly banned for. I very much doubt that Facebook is not somehow bypassing iOS' special privacy rules. Every now and then Facebook breaks their servers and hundreds of common apps crash on startup on iOS (https://9to5mac.com/2020/07/10/app-crash-facebook-sdk/); their network libraries are everywhere.

And, to be honest, who is Apple to dictate what Facebook's users can and cannot pay their Facebook subscription with? If people are fine with Facebook's cyber stalking, let them install the stupid app. You can still use the web version from Safari with all of the ad blocking addons you can find. Apple isn't the government and they don't have power of attorney, so I know what basis they have to say what apps you can and cannot sideload onto your phone.

Even still, I doubt Facebook will leave the app store because of this. They may provide some kind of "Facebook Plus" that you need to sideload, but the app store has too many eyes on it because it comes preinstalled.

> Most of their revenue depends on search

Ads actually, but via Search yes.

> and there being an ecosystem of websites to link to and display even more of their ads.

Regardless of the change in the interface, the websites aren't going anywhere. Maybe they'd be more tailored for LLMs to parse than humans.

> Generative AI is an existential risk to their current search interface,

I don't think so. It'd be easy to pivot to a different interface if it gains popularity after the initial hype. There are still a lot of monetizable queries that people use Search for, and won't use LLMs.

> the ability to insert ads into that experience and there even being any ad-supported websites with free content to link to.

It'd be easy to insert ads in LLM responses. I think LLMs will be a good thing for Google Ads. Right now, people hate ads on web because they are obnoxious and are competing for attention. Inserting ads in LLM responses will much less distracting and valuable.

Ask Google Search chat which TV should I buy based on my criteria, and Google could suggest the top brands, and "ads" for where you could buy it. For example: "there is a promotion going on at your local BestBuy for this TV" or whatever. They have this info in the Shopping tab.

> That's part of the point of it being generative AI (vs a question/answer system that people imagine it is).

The point I am trying to make is that not all use cases for ChatGPT are generative. There are a lot of Q&A use cases today despite the fact that these are so far beneath its true capabilities. These items could be dealt with using more economical means.

"give me a recipe for XYZ" should not require a GPU for the first turn response, much like typing in an offensive manifesto returns a boilerplate "as an AI language model..." response.

Granted, if the user then types something like "please translate the recipe to Spanish and increase the amounts by 33%", we would have to reach for the generative model. But, how many real-world users are satisfied with some simple 1-turn response and go about their day?
When the Obama administration cancelled the Constellation program (with its ambitious Ares rockets which were designed reach Mars, unlike SLS), they intended to invest money instead in private companies. However, apparently a few members of the US Congress got worried that valuable "space knowledge" from the Space Shuttle / Constellation companies would get lost, so they funded SLS, and scaled down private space investments for several years. That's as much as I recall from US politics on that topic.

Of course in retrospect it would have been better to just contract private rocket companies, as intended by the Obama administration, even had SpaceX not existed. The loss of Ares rocket knowledge with its cost plus contracts and countless subcontractors wouldn't have been so bad. At the cost of the SLS program probably multiple private companies could have developed heavy launch rockets. But at the time it was apparently much less obvious how cost inefficient the NASA developed rockets really were. Now NASA funds SpaceX for part of Artemis 3, but that's only a small fraction of the money that is still poured into SLS.
I think the medical community is still catching up to the knowledge that experienced users have - even today, I'd still recommend newbies read up on the stuff themselves, and do it with someone experienced that they trust.

The research will eventually catch up, and within a decade or two tripping in a doctor's office will be much more responsible and fruitful. Doctors can already provide a lot of pharmacological advantages: they have access to consistent, predictable, controlled dosages, and access to prescription antipsychotics to end a trip if it is not going well, which is obviously a much better situation than eating a few mushrooms with an unknown amount of psilocybin then hanging on and hoping for the best.

I dunno... be careful with this advice - a long exit ramp can be shortened by the company, or they can make your life miserable during that time if they don't.

I once worked at a place where notice was neither expected nor tolerated: the moment you decided to leave, you were done - a quick exit interview with HR, grab any personal items from your desk, and out the door you went. I think the time between informing my boss that I was quitting and permanently driving away was about half an hour.

I don't know if I'd argue that their policy was "best", but there is some logic to it - once a person has decided to leave, they are often mentally already out the door anyway, and having them stick around can be a pretty big drain on everyone who is still there, especially with the tendency for some people to need to justify a decision in the eyes of other people. Some people can be really good about a long goodbye, while others will just sort of poison the well the whole time and drag down morale.
About the cultural standards, what would be normal in some other parts of the world? At least in the US, parents don't want porn showing up on kids' social media, and a sizeable number of adults at least don't want other people to see it on their screen. Big social media site like FB probably has to encode this as a "no nudity" rule.

I'm not sure about the violent images. There are definitely rules against showing bodily harm on FB, but I have no idea where the line is.
Was Dave Gahan left off purposely?
Unfortunately it will likely get worse in the short term. With a huge pool of laid off people fighting for a small number of open positions (especially at the senior level and above) companies can be as demanding and stupid as they want with hiring. Leet code prowess is just another screening that whittles down the work they have to do to hire--only people that study and learn those interviews will pass them so the company has to worry less about actually figuring out if someone is a good fit for the position.
IIRC he had pretty fine-grained data during the months-long acquisition process, which would have enabled him to make decisions like this soon after officially taking over. I don't know how much data is shared with a potential CEO hire (versus a new owner).
It's important to point out that many of these senators are also members of the Intelligence committee and are receiving regular reports from intelligence agencies as part of their senatorial duties.
It is logical to think that these agencies are using these briefings to lobby senators for changes that directly impact their performance.

It's highly unlikely this comes from a place of malice, but rather is a second order effect of organizational incentives to do better work.

Regardless, it's important for citizens to fight back against this pressure as it can be conceived as a potentially never-ending erosion of human rights.
> So maybe the interview process in 10 years is more like: "build an auction site like ebay in the next hour."

This is very "Monkey's Paw" and I can absolutely see something like that taking hold, as sloppy and stupid as such a task might be.

I had an interview with a YC company who asked me how to do something, and then I did it, and then they asked "how could I make it a one-liner" - immediately thought was "I'm pretty sure I don't want to maintain a codebase full of fun little one-liners for everything" - managed to get it, but it definitely looked like crap.

If I were to get asked to build eBay in an hour, I'm sure my auction model would be 1) shit, 2) very prone to social engineering type attacks (fake bids, etc)
> Lyft was trying to attract a certain type of person to work for them with their branding and marketing…

Could you expand on this a bit? I'm not familiar with reputational differences between the two (beyond the early days corporate culture exposès).
So you had issues using your funding to pay for open-access fees. Are you going to use your own money to pay the fees? You are not. You'll just submit the paper as non open-access. So your salary is not relevant here.
The problem with not inlining is less with the overhead of the function call itself, and more the loss of further optimization opportunities. Consider this (trivial) example:

main() {
int x = foo() + 3;
}

int foo() {
return 5;
}

Without inlining you have both the overhead of the call and the arithmetic addition. If you can inline the call then you get:

main() {
int x = 5 + 3;
}

But more importantly, the optimizer can now also eliminate the addition too:

main() {
int x = 8;
}

This is obviously a trivial example, but in real-world code, the optimization options opened up after inlining are important.

"constantly" is a reach.
Uber revenue in 2022 was 31B. Lyft revenue was 4B. This is not duopoly. Lyft is much smaller, loosing 1.5B per year and the stock price crashed.

The investment in parts is already made. All they need to do is not scrap the tooling. Until the car the part went to is 15 years old that isn't worth doing as you will make more from selling parts than from the cost of storing the tooling. Common parts like filters will be around for much longer. Parts that rarely break will have the tools destroyed sooner, but with millions of ICE cars on the road there will be a lot of needs for parts even if the need is less than today.

Who needs LLM-accelerated coding for that? Leetcode was already comically unrealistic as an evaluation of actual engineering skill. When's the last time you had to solve an algorithm puzzle without any ability to do research or check references?

Shoutout to the interview I had where I was asked a tricky graph question, reasoned my way to the optimal solution, then failed because I "should have recognized" that it was a variant of Djikstra's algorithm from the beginning. As we all know, being able to regurgitate an existing algorithm shows far more promise than being able to logically create it yourself!
If you use USB dongles for serial adapters, then each path through USB is assigned a different COM number when you plug it in. For example if you plug into USB controller 2, port 3 which goes to a hub, and then you plug into port 2 that gets a number. Now plug the same thing into a different port and it will get another COM number.

Under the hood this is because the USB devices do not have the (optional) unique serial number (or in some cases they all get the same serial number).

It's important not to mix App Store/Play Store policies with iOS/Android restrictions.

Sideloaded Facebook can't access your location or camera if you don't tell iOS to give them access (iOS restrictions). On the other hand, there's nothing stopping sideloaded Facebook from refusing to work if you don't let them access those things (no App Store rules).

Something else to consider is the fact that the average user only installs apps from the default store. If Facebook wants installs, that's where they have to be. Also, we don't know many "scary screens" Apple will display when trying to sideload something.
Nature doesn't pursue progress, but fosters any that appears. Sometimes. I think that's a major difference.

Show HN: Greatfit.ai – conversational technical assessments to hire better devs
Most communication and mentorship between developers happens in text. Think: code review, Slack messages, etc.

But most technical assessments look at code in isolation, and leave all soft skills and culture-fit signals to one video call.

We help hiring managers and founders test technical skills in a realistic, conversational way, and in doing so, allow candidates to let their soft skills shine through.

Our product gives you a few more data points so that you can make an offer with confidence. Soon it will give you many, many more data points.
