This will impact RH in the long term.

Red Hat have always been on the low end around salary / TC, their draw has been seeing them as the good guys who care for their people, its a nice culture setup. This is the first set of layoffs they have ever carried out in their 30 year existence.

They will likely need to start paying more when things can't pick up, as they can't play the good guy card as much anymore.
They would get DoS’ed by people who don’t like certain authors.
For analytics purposes, indeed IP isn't used for that reason (although nowadays IP is sparsely used at all in analytics due to legal PII risks), but for responses to a "what's nearby?", it'll generally be relevant despite the possibility of VPNs.

You pay for what you use. If you bring in a litany of libraries to connect to some endpoint in every conceivable IPC mechanism then sure, it will take some time (but let’s not forget that it would also take considerable time with native machine code). But besides very very frequently run CLI tools like ls, the problem is entirely overblown. Come on, quick-launching GUIs? I hardly even remember that being a thing.
When you see something like [1] in the center of a city of 10 million people, that's a lot of potential for energy generation. And the great thing about putting a ton of panels in the middle of the city is it tends to avoid all the transmission issues we have with siting PV facilities way out in the desert.

There's a whole sub-genre here of projects that would be (wisely) dismissed because they would land you in jail rather than their technical difficulty I suppose. I recall recently seeing a rocketry hobbyist realize their landing guidance tech is essentially the same as precision missile guidance and best not to make open source.

EDIT: I just remembered, it was Mark Rober's egg drop from space [1]

This over-exploitation is a clear fulcrum for the failure of the platform and could undermine a future payday.
It's so much easier to take your laptop over to a senior colleague and ask them to help you debug something in person. There's much more friction to asking for a call, waiting for them to respond, sending them the invite, perhaps waiting for them to get to a phone room if they happen to be in the office, setting up screen sharing (with its minute and fuzzy type), and having to type things in yourself.
The same way is it for Haskell?
I have a dedicated browser profile for twitter and all the cookies are kept there, so I don't think it's cookies. My theory is that twitter want users to consciously opt out of algorithmic recommendations whenever they push a new UX change. The last one coincided with this:

November 2022 was the 3rd election in a row (2018, 2020 & 2022) that the MAGA "movement" failed at Arizona's ballot boxes. The article goes on to mention that Republican candidates have been getting more and more irrational/crazy/authoritarian and that Arizona voters want some normal Republicans like John McCain (who served as a Senator, representing Arizona, for 31 years, also was the Republican candidate for President in 2008).

Keep in mind that Apple didn't have much to lose, in the years leading up to OS X they were scrambling for market share lost to Windows 95, and already in a frenzy over a failed modernization attempt (Copland) that was intending to maintain backwards compatibility. They were truly desperate, on the verge of going bankrupt under a "corporate rehabilitator" CEO with no Steve Jobs in sight.

Microsoft had a good thing going, with the massive success of MS-DOS and Windows 95 it was imperative that the next generation consumer OS, Windows 2000, could run programs from their existing well-respected platform without users noticing the gap. (With OS X, you noticed the gap -- totally different UI style when in Classic Environment, and the Carbon API for easy porting was a mess that went unadopted by developers)
With EMP, it is important to distinguish between short-range and long-range. Short-range EMP can damage electronics but is primarily caused by nearby nuclear blast which tends to be bigger problem than the EMP. It can also be caused by conventional explosive devices but those cover small area.

Long-range EMP is caused by nuclear blast at high altitude. It induces currents is long conductors but doesn't touch electronics. The main effect is knocking out power over large areas. It has very similar effects to large solar flare.
oh damn i had no idea its this much organised..thank you i had to read your thing twice to be able to understand the processes..
Ask HN: Head Of/VP/CXO at a startup? Help me validate this idea.
A common question that seems to get asked of product teams, especially in early & growth stage startups is: "when is <insert feature> shipping?" or "did <...> already ship?". A similar thing that happens is non-prod/eng teams not being aware that a thing they were waiting on is already shipped.

I know many of you will say this is a communication problem and not a tools problem. While that's largely true, I believe that tools can make this better visible.

I have an idea for a tool that connects the dev team's code repos to the project tool they use and in a neat dashboard answer the above questions. I also have ideas for how to abstract one level up from just tickets.

I need help understanding if I'm thinking of a solution looking for a problem or if something like this could actually help deliver value to some stakeholders -- especially non-prod/eng folks in a company, execs, and possibly even customers.
Hi Thomas - Really cool project and website. Just wanted to give you an unsolicited pat on the back to keep doing amazing things!!
I told you what i like and you presented strawman arguments

The developer story is not the same as a speculator story
I think leadership at many of these companies have their wires crossed in terms of messaging but also expectations and ideas about what they want to extract out of employees

They always start with return to office = productivity, which people push back on, because the office is full of 2 hour lunch breaks and water cooler discussions about fantasy football. Then discourse gets worse when CEOs talk about the "overemployed" and people running errands during a work day. If we're talking lines of codes written nothing beats working at home for most

But you're right, there is a ton to learn during those 2 hour lunches, pulling people in to impromptu meetings, and socializing as a whole

The messaging needs to be fixed, expectations adjusted, people should be empowered to both work heads down at home, and do less head down work at the office
Management in the Red Hat's Support organization said recently they were hiring new support engineers out of India to help alleviate burnout. A hiring freeze in all countries except India effectively is outsourcing.
Complex analysis is so much more regular than real analysis differentiability over a two dimensional quantity is so much strong than over a one dimensional quantity that you have much stronger results. Basically, if you know an analytic function in a neighborhood you know it over the entire plane. Plus you have functions like e ^ ( 1 / z ) which is pretty amazing around zero.
The utility behind complex numbers (for physicists at least) is really that they are a model for certain algebraic and geometric properties that are together very useful.
Great submission IMO, and a pretty nuanced and dry (no pun) read.

This myth is still very present in the heads of people born pre-1990 (myself included).

Same as with nutrition, the science is complex, it seems almost impossible to control for influencing factors. Also, I find that my primal brain needs to hear facts about health and nutrition very often to actually digest them.
Is it though? Browsing through the Android reviews 9 out of 10 that mentioned "AI" were complaining about not being able to remove it or that you need to pay for snapchat+ to remove it. Pretty sure if they either gave an easy option to not have it pinned, or as teaearlgraycold mentioned in another reply, just have it fall down the list naturally there wouldn't be an issue at all.

In the US, there's not a right to privacy, or at best it's complicated. At least federalists or conservatives endlessly argue that doesn't exist, for reasons that I don't understand. If we had a right to privacy in the US, it probably wouldn't protect criminal communications, and the potential of illegal behavior is used as the justification for all kinds of quasi illegal investigations.
Who cares if people get their blue checks restored?
At the same time a law can't narrowly target a specific technology, which then is bypassed easily by changing some technicality, but must be broad enough to cover different technical implications, while specific enough to catch the case you want to catch.
I was going to disagree and be like “if you’re an engineer your only job is engineering” but there’s some truth in what you’re saying.

You’ve gotta be charismatic even if you are an engineer.
>He quit after a few years because of low pay, long hours, traveling, and unexpected layoffs

In my area of Canada, demand for this work is so high you can work as much or little as you want, independently, for $50+ an hour. Nothing to sneeze at. Just need that entrepreneurial itch.
There's also some cute hacks to emulate in different parts of the software stack for the cases where there's still value in running the onboard boot time firmware. For instance https://github.com/openSUSE/X86EmulatorPkg and https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/in...
Wife's Dad was a plumber. He made better money running hydraulic fluid to the machines at the GM plant than he did bringing clean water to people and disposing of their waste. This boggles me my mind. Clean drinking water and the ability to safely and sanitarily escort your shit out of your house is so vital yet these guys get paid shit. Capitalisms don't always reward what really matters.

Git scraping: track changes over time by scraping to a Git repository (2020)
Inevitably when you go out with co-workers or industry colleagues at a conference, you will end up talking about work. That is the one thing you for sure have in common (while someone may not even like sports), and it's an easy topic to fall back to.

But FWIW, I also think the small talk and getting-to-know your colleagues is valuable. Some of my deepest and longest-term friendships have come from former co-workers, former classmates, etc. While it's possible to cultivate a friendship via remote work, it's a lot harder.

Coworkers often share birthdays, weddings, random trips, and enriching experiences together that are not very easy at all to replicate over fully remote work.

I've noticed that as my career has gotten more remote, it's harder to even count on making new adult friendships into my 30s. I'm like a stranger in my own town, unless I really intentionally take the time to join clubs/groups outside of work. That's not a bad idea on its own, but it does take intentional effort and some degree of consistency that just sort of came automatically with working in an office. And some young people with less overall confidence / social experience may not even know how to go about that.

I think all of that def takes a mental toll. We're social creatures, even the introverts among us.
I'm also really curious how you manage having 20 searches a day :)

An leisure example - I was checking various fidget toys. My ~10 minutes "research" took 15 queries like: "spring toy", "fidget stick", "worry beads", "kendama", "baoding balls" etc. (on topic: infinity cube is quite cool)

Another one would be preparing instrument study sheet with around 20 music instrument where I searched both for images & audio (~50 searches) - e.g. "acoustic guitar sound sample" & "acoustic guitar".

Those are simple, professionally I sometimes go quite wide to find hook point and then dig from there. 20-40 queries spread across various search engines.

I am aware that I'm outlier, yet thinking about usage in this case is a mistake for me.
Isn't that because we're manufacturing consent?
Fair enough. I’m also being unfair, Mercedes, BMW, Rolls Royce, et al are also engineering powerhouses. I guess it’s really software, hardware, and technology services that seem to lag. SAP is the only significant European software company that comes to mind, and I can’t think of any Intel, Arm, nvidia, AMD, etc.
Where is the fresh water coming from?
My brother is in HVAC, so my perspective on this is biased, but in general there's a blue collar shortage because the job still sucks.

First, you have pretty high barriers to entry in the form of apprenticeships and per-state licensing requirements. Then you have the shit hours and shit customers that expect those shit hours. My brother got angry calls from customers because he dared to say no when they wanted him to ditch his daughter's birthday party on a Saturday to go fix their AC immediately. Then you have the actual pay which just isn't that great unless you're an established business owner with a good clientele - as others have pointed out (and the article itself points out), the real pay after you sort through all the outlier stories is pretty low.

So, option A is you go to college, immediately get a job with zero hurdles up front, sit behind a desk from 9-5, and collect a solid paycheck. Option B is you go to trade school, then make next to nothing apprenticing for years, then you make somewhere around median income while driving a truck all over the place working in shitty conditions and getting chewed out by people who expect you to be available 24/7.
this is well and good and works for some people however i dont want to miss much of it, so i usually just note most of the things down basically 80-90% of the convo and lose myself in it, its also got to do with my fear of missing out because i think i might have a goldfish memory so just to be in the safe zone...however thanks for this, a few others also suggested a similar pattern to try out..ill keep in mind. Thank you once again.
Agreed. Thats really what I want. Something with hood battery life and some buttons that I can program via Tasker. That said, I think the market for such a device is fairly small. Most users will want something that works well out of the box.
Agreed, but the things you’ve mentioned would all clumsily be grouped under the “busy” Slack status even though they mean quite different things.

And further, seniors should never be upset that a junior is coming to them for advice, mentoring less experienced people one of the main responsibilities that comes with seniority. (This isn’t to excuse help vampires of course.) So I disagree with with the framing.
For projects where you need to collaborate with others, yeah.

For personal projects like "how I generate my static site", and where you're already using a tool like nix, 'tool already installed' isn't worth going out of your way for.
Unless a UI is completely broken, or you want the user to do something completely different, there is no reason to make large changes. You can continue making incremental improvements for years, just look at macos.

Windows 7 taskbar was great. Windows 10 added a few improvements. Windows 11 restarted from scratch for no reason whatsoever. I think they only way this happens is if nobody in the entire org has a cohesive vision for the product. It's every man for himself. Somebody wanted to implement a new taskbar from scratch, and they had enough pull within the company. So they got to do it. Users and product be dammed.

Probably collecting training data without their consent, as is the norm with ai products.
Implicit assumption that the Pi's PCIe doesn't follow the spec? There is a lot of room between "it works in our target market" and "it follows the spec". I only mention that because I have come across a number of situations where the specifications related to "downsizing" the interface when insufficient resources are detected are often ignored when the target platform is invested in providing only the maximum amount of resources. Think USB2.0 high speed devices failing to down throttle in a USB 1.1 port and still work as an example.

That said, there are often latent bugs in these situations that this sort of research/experimentation can uncover. Manufacturers would do well to invest the time in understanding why it doesn't work because those reasons can often lead to problems that are hard to catch when it is working.
Different players in the EU push for different things. Some people in the commission push for surveillance tools. Some people in the parliament push for privacy.
> software cannot be assigned ownership of copyright.

More precisely, only human works are subject to copyright. The law simply doesn’t apply to works by animals, AIs, or anything else, even when they are as creative as a human.
>Really?

Yes really.

>Using the fact that someone put pronouns in their profile is a bad faith move?

No, putting pronouns in your profile is a red flag for bad faith moves.

>Your account is literally a throwaway.

Which means you can expect unadulterated facts.

>Calling these twin studies as settled science is the most bad faith move here

No it's not, stop denying the science.

>since the chief problem of this section of The Bell Curve is that it confuses heritability with genetic determination

The Bell Curve makes no confusion between heritability and genetic determination.

>mistake that informed scientists wouldn’t make

Good thing the Bell Curve didn't make that mistake!

>Unsurprisingly, that is why there is widespread scientific backlash against it.

There wasn't much scientific backlash to it because it's fairly bulletproof. The backlash was because of contained heretical topics, and may have pointed to blasphemous conclusions.

>Believe it or not, twin black babies separated at birth and raised with white parents are still treated as black by society.

If you search for “in store analytics” you will find a lot more. This article is a decent overview though and has a few links.
It's a truly amazing market failure. Up here in New England, you can't get an electrician for love or money. And if you do, you are paying $75 an hour for the lowliest apprentice.

But you go on Reddit, and the poor schlubs in the rest of the country are making <$20 an hour to start. You can make more at McDonalds.

I talked to a friend of mine who runs a big corp electrician unit for a utility. He cannot hire anyone at the rates he wants to pay, and says he cannot pay them market because then he'd "have to reset the comp for his entire 100 man crew." The journeymen coming in are asking for more than supervisor pay (and they should be getting it!)

I predict we are in for more inflation as this works its way through the system.
I understand what you mean, and that's a fair point. However, as John Schulman pointed out in his talk, it is possible to clone the behavior of the model, but it won't work to avoid hallucination since the underlying pretrained models are different. If we clone ChatGPT's behavior (by using its output), we'll get the worst of both worlds: weird output coming from its RLHF step AND hallucination.
100% this. I've been getting into home improvement and I was wondering what it would be like to do that for a living. Took a look at the wages and noped the f out of that.
A friend is a journeyman lineman in NorCal and makes ~$300k/year + pension rebuilding PG&E infra. Lives in a lovely rural $800k home. Started his career climbing poles in Illinois, straight out of high school.
We can also assume that Tesla will remove the free unlimited supercharging from these models and then re-sell them on he market.

If I wanted to trade in my Model S with unlimited supercharging, I'd sell it on the used market and use that as a premium to get more for it.
Not a very satisfying answer because it doesn't answer why Capote would slander Vidal in the first place. Indeed the feud existed before the Esquire slander took place so it's incorrect/hallucinatory for Bing Chat to say "The feud began when...".

Oh, and references (2) and (3) seem to be hallucinated and are unrelated to the question and response despite being cited inline. The other ref links are valuable but well then it's just a search engine with more noise.
Respectfully, this is a really bad take. And one that flies in the face of the Go stdlib, given the default HTTP server will catch panics for you by default.
A huge portion of "applications" I use on my computer happen to run in a web browser. And I mean this as a distinct activity from "browsing the web" (which might be something like HN or researching a topic or shopping).

All the browsers have the ability to open both windows and tabs. If I wanted stuff grouped in one taskbar item, I'd open a tab. If I've specifically opened a new window, I am specifically saying I don't want those grouped -- the OS applying its own grouping is obnoxious.

If all the apps I use had native executables, they'd appear as their own taskbar icon. If they were wrapped in an Electron app, I'd have essentially the same user experience but they'd get their own icon.

My point is really that combining windows/processes that happen to be hosted by the same executable is silly -- even as a highly technical user I don't care about that detail. I'm doing a semantically different activity; I specifically opened a new window; I want a dedicated taskbar icon for it.

I'd be curious: if "Always combine" wasn't actually the default, how many users would specifically turn it on? 50%? 5%? A fraction of 1%?

So your comment is unfounded and useless, in other words.

One can point out that liberal democracies are heavily liberal and only somewhat democratic without committing to endorsing any other kind of government or regime, ya know.

(A common statist fallacy: assuming that some criticism of an existing type of government must imply that they are rooting for another kind of government. Not saying that this applies to you, though!)
