The United States has millions of illegal immigrants who did sacrifice everything to walk thousands of miles to get here. I’ve talked to many, they have all been extremely grateful for the opportunities the free market here has provided them. And obviously I agree we should people be successful. But complaining that there aren’t any jobs in your shit hole town isn’t a mindset that will get you anywhere. If the only job available to you is Walmart you should move, and finish high school too tbh. It really is that simple, and I’m kind of over the entitlement I see from these small town people expecting the world he handed to them. Because the reality is this country has plenty of decent, if not great, jobs that are certainly better than almost any person ever has had access too.

Hello! I'm a full-stack software developer seeking internships or entry-level positions that allow me to work across the stack.
At my last job in 2020, I was part of a team that developed a full-featured application for hotels with Angular and .NET, providing seamless services like room reservation, in-room dining, and activity booking. Between then and now, I joined a university and recently dropped out to focus on real-world experience.
On the side, I've been working on small Unity games, exploring Rust, and creating small projects like El Painto, a tool for matching paint colors between brands and RGB/HEX values.

Feel free to check out my portfolio and projects on my website (https://www.etorresh.com/) and reach me by email (me@etorresh.com)

During the last glacial maximum 20,000 years ago the sea level was about 130 meters below today's [1] so agriculture would be found above that. About a hundred thousand years before that sea levels were close to modern levels and the current ice age [2] started almost half a million years after the first stone industry [3] got started, so sea levels would have been much higher (200-300 meters higher than today).

And frankly, my experience has been that people with such "concerns" tend to also have corresponding ones for other minorities.
It seems like there is a very easy way to remain on the right side of concealed carry laws, which is to simply not carry a concealed weapon. If you want to do so, familiarizing yourself with the laws as you cross state lines is the very least you can do.

Demanding reciprocity is like saying ‘I should be able to turn right on red lights in NYC because my car has Jersey plates’.
You don't have any evidence, and neither does any paper I've read claiming as such.

The level of naievete around this stuff is quite incredible.

BEFORE: "We have no idea really what a system like this will do"

... amazing results ...

AFTER: "Wow, look at those emergent properties"
Oh fair enough. I guess that's true, although I'm not sure I'd see too much of a problem there. For load balancers there are options that work fine with gRPC, similarly API gateways. Caches and CDNs no (at least I haven't seen any), but then again, I'm skeptical about putting CDNs in front of business logic, and would only ever use them for actual content (where the serving logic doesn't matter). Even logged out usage of APIs still often has analytics and other stuff that means you want to hit the backend every time.
That’s the whole point. Tourists won’t really care if they spend more than they have to, and they don’t have to worry about it at all. Regulars and the price conscious will go the cheaper route.
Grit | Senior Software Engineers / ML Engineers + Design | New York or (rarely) Remote | Full-time | $150–250k + equity

We’re building software to automatically fix technical debt. We do this by combining expressive static analysis tooling (we’ve built a developer-friendly query language for code) with machine learning to automatically migrate code to new patterns and platforms. We’re in private beta, but have deployed thousands of successful changes for initial customers and have raised a large seed round from top investors (Founders Fund, 8VC, Abstract Ventures). We’ve solving challenges at the intersection of machine learning and programming languages using Scala, Rust, TypeScript, and LLMs. We’re hiring for both smart generalists and PL/ML experts who are interested in collaborating on problems like automatically inserting new types into codebases and using unit tests for self-supervised learning.

Here are a few reasons you might be interested in applying:

- We’re working on the edge of the possible and doing deep technical work in parsers/language design and machine learning.

- We mostly work in-person in New York, but remote is also possible for outstanding candidates who have proven success in a remote model.

> But it's all local, as the 2nd law of thermodynamics applies to the whole system - Earth isn't a closed system, it is a gradient, as we bask in the sunlight.

Sunlight is one thing, but I feel the key point is, Earth with life on it increases entropy faster than the one without, even with the same sunlight flux.

The way I've been imagining for some years now is a bit "bottom-up": life is electrochemical nanotech; every tick of any piece has to increase entropy or keep it the same - but as those pieces assemble to form increasingly complex life forms, at every level of complexity you can find loops that do the simple job of "let's take this excess entropy and move it over there". Out of the protein bundle. Out of the cell. Out of the body. Into water, or air.

> Gravity is simultaneously the reason entropy increases globally, and the reason it can decrease locally; pulling us (for 'free') diagonally into the fourth dimension of space-time.

For that I'll need an ELI5 one of these days; I still can't make it click in my head just how is it that gravity (and static magnets) can pull stuff seemingly "for free".
I like the battery idea.
You are talking about targeted surveillance rather than mass surveillance. That is not the purpose of this guide and similar others. There are advanced guides for people in that threat model.

So 80% of reddit and twitter is illegal conspiracy plotting/planning?
Oh boy I’d like to play with something new and exciting like this and was sad to hear it’s just a design mock-up/idea. The OS space seems to have been quite stale for a decade or two, is there anything super exciting and different out there from a UX perspective? Remember installing Linux in the late 90s or rooting Windows phones and installing whatever latest Android OS was available in the early days of iOS and Android, and that was always quite thrilling.
I think you may be in denial. Douglas Hosftadter thought very deeply about it, wrote a book(GEB) which won a pulitzer 40 years ago, about the "magic" in the brain. He has been worried about developments in AI for 5 years now.
IMO This an incorrect and unrigorous understanding of what "internal model" means which is why there is a valid scientific debate about this issue.

Interesting. It's weird to see the generation of people who only ever used smartphones start to think about this stuff.

In the past, at least in crime shows, the police could track your location for even "dumbphones" using the method in this article; therefore the common wisdom has been "use a burner/take the battery out/dont take your phone". But now that phones have GPS + location switch, the "legacy" method is no longer front of mind.
You’d also think they would have filters in place for stuff like this, they did for the Burger King ads (or maybe that was Siri).

Linked from Location Setting.

But it doesn't mention carrier tracking your location. That is fundamental to how cell phones work, though, unless you enable Airplane Mode.
No, no, no, no, no; it's the other way around.

VLA are poorly defined feature for which some implementations offer additional protection.

And I agree, automatic VLA aren't inherently a bad feature; it's just a poor feature of C99, C11, C17 and sadly still C23*.

I have faith we will be able to finally tackle it in C2y, but until then, I'm with Eskil in opinion ISO C would be better off without them all those years.

* Thank you for your work on N3121, hopefully we will vote it in during next meeting :)
I had a really similar idea I'm working on and this can be solved by federation, and allowing users to move freely between servers. A gicen server could have its own moderation list. If you want to bypass it you'll need to connect to a server in another juridiction.
His opinion obviously does matter because he is a founder of the field. No one believes that he is prescient. You are exaggerating and creating a strawman argument, infantilizing the readers here. We don't worship him or outsource our thinking.
This is my biggest worry that as countries continue to add more and more laws the internet becomes more and more fragmented and soon instead of the internet we have the EUnet, the CAnet, the ChinaNet, the RussiaNet the AmericaNet, etc.
> with modern networking, data speeds and computing capacity, a centrally-planned economy could work.

Ludwig von Mises' whole point is that you are working with unknowable inputs, so you can never calculate correctly. This is why a socialist, centrally planned economy can never work.

For example, people's preferences are unknowable before a transaction takes place. And, no, surveys don't work because what people say they want and what they actually spend their money on are different things.

No amount of computational power can create outputs for unknown and unknowable inputs.
Nice. Reminds me of my unfinished project “SynchronizedOS” which automatically handles securi..err, synchronicity concerns re: Cloud/Endpoints

> It takes energy and produces order from it, inefficiantly but order still. If earth never had any life, it would simply be a warmer soup.

The point is, that warmer soup would be a net lower entropy state if you take the entire Earth and/or the Solar System into the consideration. Life takes energy and produces order, which means it excretes even more disorder somewhere else.
This is a frontend for data is that right? That's a phenomenal concept if performance is a major priority. Does it work with Salesforce?
In general, anecdotes about "they raise the oxygen levels in [x] to induce [y]" are completely false. I've heard this about airplanes and casinos.

For one, it's really difficult/energy intensive to increase the level of oxygen in a space. Second, it's very very difficult to purify oxygen -- because oxygen oxidizes stuff. Even if you could do that, raising the level of oxygen is extremely dangerous, because it radically increases flammability of things and makes fire much worse. For an example of this: Apollo 1.
> The thing I don’t understand is why they blocked RSR behind a password prompt.

As I recall there’s something they can’t decrypt without your password that they need to decrypt during updates. You could say “that’s their choice” but maybe they worry if their signing keys leaked that at least you’d also need to type your password in to kick off an update.

> The iCloud offload works beautifully so I don’t know why they haven’t added a trigger multiple years into that feature existing.

Guessing this comes down more to bandwidth as to why it’s opt in. If there’s enough speed to upload your photos but not download them when the update completes, you’re going to be upset. Or if you get on a plane and your iPad is doing an update and it completes after takeoff but all your movies/games were offloaded, you’d be upset.

(That’s probably fixable by doing some math to figure out if it’s workable, or by asking the user on the update screen if they’d like to offload and reload. But it wouldn’t be 100% automated, which is what I think you were asking?)
> As Hinton says in his tweet, this clearly implies that he left to be free to criticize Google.

No, it does not imply that at all. The One could interpret it that way, and they would be wrong to interpret it that way, because it doesn't imply that, but I can see how someone without a good grasp of the English language might feel it implies that. That's nuance.

But no, it does not imply that at all. And any suggestion that it does imply that is conjecture at best, and not backed up by Dr. Hinton's other tweets on the matter.
> BTW, it has passed many standardized tests under the same circumstances as a human.

No, it hasn’t, and it is physically impossible for it to. The extent to which the differences are material may be debatable, but this claim is simply false.
People disagreeing with me but that fact that we’ve had a dozen people propose a dozen different ways to do the same thing, that alone should be evidence enough that what we are arguing over is personal preference rather than “x can’t do y”.

Having been a Linux (and unix before that) user for decades now, I’ve seen people argue over vi vs emacs, KDE vs GNOME, GTK vs Qt, GPL vs BSD and so on and so forth. They make all sorts of well reasoned arguments but it almost always just boils down to personal preference at the end of the day. Yet it’s amazing how many people think that their preferences are unequivocal facts.
There is a difference between "protest" and "civil disobedience".
Have you tried it?

I just typed "eli5 hn vs redit" (misspelled reddit), and it understands perfectly.
Perhaps parent and GP comments are using different definitions of "understandable".
The spin on the story is weird. Why not just title it "Bhutan's Bitcoin mining operations"?
This was also the topic of the first 20-30 minutes of last weeks Wan Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSOF8RFrihM) where he also shared some anecdotes from his interactions with political folks in Cananda.

Show HN: Google Calendar-powered RSVP pages
Hi HN,

I created smol.rsvp because I wanted a quick and easy way to gauge attendance to my student organization's events.

smol.rsvp invites guests to a Google Calendar event, so the event will appear on their calendars, they'll be notified of time changes and can adjust their RSVP, and hosts can easily email all guests at once. (All of these are secretly just features of Google Calendar/WebDAV calendars.)

It also has some features that make it nice for small college/company events:

- Add a custom logo
- Choose a custom accent color
- Upload a background image
- Limit to emails from a certain domain (i.e. Only people from @yourdomain.com can RSVP)
- Can be embedded in an <iframe>

Here's a sample invitation for an event on May 5: https://smol.rsvp/invitation/sample-event-82akcy

The tech behind it is Laravel, Tailwind, Svelte, and Inertia.

I wonder if it would be better to go back to that time where PHD's were only for the wealthy? Would there be less incentive to do bullshit studies and cave to political pressures and bribes if the people doing the studies didn't need the job to survive?

No documentation or particular methods required. I think that https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/disposalfaqs.pdf is equivalent to the guidance at the time, and it just requires ‘reasonable safeguards’.

> For PHI on electronic media, clearing (using software or hardware products to overwrite media with non-sensitive data), purging (degaussing or exposing the media to a strong magnetic field in order to disrupt the recorded magnetic domains), or destroying the media (disintegration, pulverization, melting, incinerating, or shredding).
This is the relevant section:

> Approximately 20% of the company was laid off, and to the best of my knowledge 100% of them were members of historically marginalized groups. Women, people of color, queer folks, and multiple people on disability and even maternity leave were specifically and disproportionately targeted. In the aftermath I could not find even one single person who did not belong to a protected class.

So bear in mind that this is very expansive group of people. This is not referring to "minority groups" as the parent comment wrote (women are the majority of the population). The author did not provide the denominator - that is, how many people at the company fit this group of people she's referring to - so it's hard to discern any significant discrimination without that piece of information. San Francisco and Seattle (where Rune labs and the author are located, respectively) are very diverse places, so it's not inconceivable that most of the company is comprised of "minority groups". A quick glance at the company's page shows that these "minority groups" comprise about 2/3rds of its leadership [1].

Furthermore, I don't think the author understands the term "protected class" [2]. Race, age, religion, gender, and disability are all protected classes, workplace discrimination on the basis of these is illegal. Everyone belongs to several protected classes (age, race, and gender, at minimum), so I'm not sure what she means when she writes, "I could not find even one single person who did not belong to a protected class".

You would have to trust that those things work as you expect.

for example, "Find My" can find your iphone even if it is turned off.
Try pointing over a cat's shoulder and looking scared. It doesn't work not because they're too smart, but because they can't even pick up on what you're trying to say. ChatGPT has sub-human intelligence, but it's already vastly ahead of everything that's not human. Think about it being on a Moore's Law schedule from here, doubling every two years or so, and we're only a few years away from being the cat in this scenario.
I don't think it's useful to frame it that way. The system isn't setup on merit and it won't be without massive overhaul. Besides, there's already a quota for applicants with US Masters degree.

Personally non-immigrants like myself just want people to stop gaming the system.

It would be fairly trivial to solve by removing the concurrent entries prior to selection and upon selection let the candidate choose which employer they wish to proceed with if there are multiple entries. This effectively neuters the benefit of concurrent filings with multiple employers whilst protecting legitimate candidates with multiple offers.

Unless I've overlooked something obvious...
Jason Yuan. MercuryOS is his project.
Illegal search. Why is this still a thing?
Nice.

I have a recurring problem with alarms and timers with my iPhone. When an alarm goes off there’s a big button in the middle that snoozes it, so it will go off again. At the bottom, in small print, is Stop.

While when a timer goes off there’s a big button in the middle that stops the alarm. At the bottom, in small print, is “repeat” which will make it go off again.

Naturally I can never figure out which one to press when I’m groggy and don’t have my glasses on.
Only you will consider it a treasure. Other people will not care. Everyone will have their own personal favorites, at which point they can't even be called treasures.
I find the NYT to be very good at this "technically correct" sort of writing that is easily taken the wrong way. It would not have been hard for them to have included a line up front addressing that Hinton did not quit because he thinks Google acted imperfectly.

Another example of them doing this was with the "freedom" protestors in Canada. They claimed that a majority of funding for these protestors came from Canada. While yes, technically that is true, the full context is that some >40% of the funding came from foreign influencers, which is a figure that would alarm anyone if they actually just put the percentage right there. So they were technically correct, but still spun a narrative that was different than the reality.
Bringing Hardware Accelerated Language Models to Consumer Devices

I see where they are trying to go with the "humane" approach, but the examples seem to require big companies to play along. For example, the shopping examples put the control back with the user, and companies supply basic info like pictures, pricing, descriptions.

In real life, of course, they won't cede that control easily. You'll get the same sort of mess you see on Facebook Marketplace, for example..."for sale" listings of cars that put the down-payment in the sales price spot and some wording telling you to call for more info. No actual prices are shown.

So, it would probably require some sort of unapproved scraping, collating, etc, to really work as intended.
Ridiculous. Cops don’t typically storm homes because of stolen vehicles. Cars are stolen All. The. Time. Law enforcement officers know a car’s original owner is not typically the guy going for a joyride.
Apparently libSegFault has been removed from glibc, so recent distros might not have it.
But it can’t make novel discoveries like humans. It would be great if it could discover new uses of mRNA and prototype them.
I forgot dogma has a more specific meaning in Catholicism. My understanding of current teaching is Protestant beliefs are material heresy but not formal heresy. Please correct if I am mistaken.

Many airports, planes, and other public areas have these USB charging ports. Either people are using them, or a lot of money is being spent for no reason.
