There are different issues of "is this an honest interviewee?" and "is this a good interview?" and you're welcome to argue the latter all you like but the solution to a bad interviewer isn't just to cheat because you don't like it.

Context matters. If you're looking to see "have you really done security stuff?" by mentioning some OWASP Top 10 vulns and asking for a quick description, for somebody that has indeed done any security at all that will be trivially easy and anybody else will need to google it. Can they skim google and get you an intelligeable answer? Maybe but that's not what you're looking for, the question itself is a proxy for something else.

For most of my interviews I tell folk up front to google whatever they need to. But at the very very earliest stage of the interview loop we do a quick "programmer is a big field, what kind are you?" round so we know how to place people and the questions we use for it are all trivially easy for somebody even remotely familiar with the fields we're looking at and also trivially googleable for anybody else. The goal with that piece isn't to challenge people it's just to round their skillset to the nearest role that we have. I've caught people retyping code, pretending to be inventing it, from what's clearly the first article they found when they googled the keywords. It was never intended to be a hard problem, just something to quickly tell an infrastructure from a frontend engineer. It was more or less bitwise identical to the article they were retyping from and they couldn't explain the code or modify it. That doesn't even accomplish what they want, even if it worked we'd then go on to interview them for a job they couldn't do.

Again you can argue about whether that's a good practise or not but it's still not licence to simply cheat on it. You're conflating these and and I think it's not the right thing to do.
Wondering how long it’ll take for other tech companies to copy this move and pretend that they independently arrived at these conclusions after their meticulous macroeconomic analysis.
I am well aware that flash is overprovisioned. One consumer SSDs the overprovisioning is quite small (maybe 5-10%), so short stroking the SSD will have a much greater effect than on enterprise SSDs. It also has the nice side effect of giving the drive more free space to work with which allows the garbage collection room to be more gradual and efficient, which can improve performance for more write intensive workloads.

Actually, many storage arrays use battery backed RAM, not flash as a write buffer. Flash does not have the endurance needed to serve as the write buffer for a large storage array. Some products that use battery backed RAM for this purpose will dump the contents of that RAM onto flash. I worked on a messaging appliance that used that approach, albeit with supercaps to provide the hardware time to dump 4GB of DRAM onto a compact flash card. Supercaps were easier to monitor and maintain. There are also plenty of hardware RAID cards that use batteries for their write buffer as well.

Edit: there are also persistent memories like MRAM that don't need power to retain their contents which are used in this space as well.
A better way to destroy that capital: have it appropriated by the government and used to fund actual science.
You're right, all software should be funded that way.
Helion has built six reactors. Their sixth maintained a vacuum for 16 months while doing thousands of fusion shots, exceeding 100 million degrees. Now they're building their seventh reactor, which will attempt net electricity in 2024.

NIF's results were a scientific milestone that people have been working towards for half a century. Regarding overall energy balance, NIF uses lasers from the 1990s that are less than 1% efficient. Equivalent lasers today are over 20% efficient, so their results were not as bad as many articles made out. They're still off by a factor of five, but also they got a 230% jump in output by increasing the laser power only 8%.
I was at Google IO 2008. Amazing times. Wore the t-shirt until it was so badly faded and torn.

But back then Google was at the forefront of open standards and pushing the web forward. It was an exciting time for sure.

Far from the Google of today who can’t seem to run a project for more than a couple years.

This is actually a bit of a misnomer at the moment, we need to update our messaging - but you can in fact restrict any websites you want.

To do it, open clearspace and tap one of the apps you've already set up. Then click the "websites" section. You'll be able to associate domains there, so whenever that app is unlocked, those websites will be as well. Otherwise they're restricted.

Hope this helps! Literally just rolling out website support so need to update the messaging in a few places, thanks for flagging.

"can" you sue?

Sure

You can do lots of things

Does it make any kind of financial sense to sue?

I seriously doubt it
This critique seems very reasonable and accessible. So I'm puzzled how the caliber of people like mentioned in the article, who are technologists and familiar with physics, can get on board with the kind of investments they are getting. What do they know that we don't? At least in the case of Theranos the investors were not technical.
How can you legally email to a list of people who haven’t opted in? Are you talking about transactional emails? (Receipts, etc?) or is this code for “I’m a spammer.”

Anyway.. sendgrid, AWS SES are good places to start.

> RBP is a multiple of standard Medicare rates, say 140%, often is substantially less than a negotiated rate from a Carrier, hence balance billing and not so happy provider.

Negotiated rates are also themselves set as multiples of the Medicare Allowable Rate. Both are set as multiples of Medicare rates; that's not something unique to reference-based pricing.
The power of LLMs atm is that they allow a person to be "median" in a very wide range of topics. This is extremely powerful, even to folks that can attain an above average mastery. It also does this quickly.

There was a recent article on Slashdot titled something how metaverse may increase the gdp by like 2 or 3 percent. It was obviously laughed at. It's actually LLMs that will do this, and easily.
> The D-He3 reaction is purely aneutronic, and while some D-D will still happen, they can tune it so it doesn't happen much. That would mean very little neutron radiation at the power plants.

Yea. I'm just very curious as to what these numbers look like in practice. Neutrons are essentially waste emissions with their plan, but physics and engineering constrains will determine how much they can tune out D-D reactions.
Well actually, the collective reaction of the west, including the virtual exclusion of Russia from all western economic activity could not have come as a surprise to Putin. This is in fact the only sense I can make of the overt aggression towards Ukraine: Putin and his clique already held the short end of the stick after Maidan, Georgia, Syria etc: i.e. the west were not going to make life easy for him anyway, so they devise a clean cut, a return to the cold war that they all were so familiar with - and with an expectation that the west would overstretch on armaments and financial crisis. This theory is supported by the obvious strategic investment in an alternative international currency that has been building for a long time - efforts that have been more fruitful after the invasion if anything - also possibly already predicted.

But I'm not sure. It might be crediting them with more brains than they have.
I don't know if these anecdotes prove anything, but two of my favorites, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, had popular instrumentals in the late 80s/early 90s.

And one of my non-favorites, Kenny G, is one of the best-selling artists of all time, more than 75 million records.
Since you're too busy to do basic research to answer your own curiosity, of course I'll let you know that speeding is a misdemeanor in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, Wyoming. I'm sure I'm missing a few.
> it's actually around the same size inside as the "modest" house and is therefore not a "mansion".

I think there's an issue with this premise. McMansions are not 'mansions' and the criticism stems from that fact. They are too small for the architectural features they try to cram into their facades (balustrades, numerous columns, far too many windows of awkward sizes). Also because they are small, they try to maximize the use of space leading to the exterior looking very weird due to overlapping roofs so individual rooms can be as large and tall as possible.
Other than the colours being difficult to read, I really enjoy this webpage.

Ask HN: Google Voice Call History Missing?
Yesterday afternoon I was looking at my Google Voice "Calls" tab to get the number for a call that came in a few hours earlier, when I noticed that all calls after Sunday afternoon (3:50pm PDT) were missing. I seem to be missing about a dozen calls now, and they were all showing as recently as Tuesday at noon. They aren't in the archive, and everything else (Messages, Voicemail, and Spam) is still there. It's not a browser issue because the calls are missing on my Android phone and my iPad as well as a desktop browser.

I've found nothing about this in the news or elsewhere on-line. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

That's a great point thank you for bringing this up.
I don't have a solution for that, and frankly my proposal was putting a lot of work onto the platforms that wanted to support it so I'm not sure it would get much traction.
I would be grateful for an example prompt for the following quote:

>>> Copying and pasting documentation and APIs to GPT-4, asking it to write interfaces based on them.

Humble Bundle – Machine Learning and AI; Zero to Hero
So it sounds like Microsoft have committed to buy the first system when it's ready. Without investing anything now? So i guess they get a good discount on that.

Elsewhere, i saw that Helion already raised billions.

So what's in it for Helion? If they can make it happen, and build a sustained fusion system, they will surely be able to sell the energy/systems once ready, and don't really need to sell it at discounted rates now. I could imagine a deal with Microsoft is good for marketing, but seems way too soon for that isn't it?
I know quite a few backend developers who grew a lot by working in (application) operations for a month or three. If you can do so within a company or at a university, I'd very much recommend doing so - and not just because my team is chronically overworked and every pair of hands is a good one.

If done at the same company, you'll get a lot of insights in how the infrastructure works and is setup, and you'll quickly get in touch with a lot of technology. Additionally, you can quickly learn the values of good logging, good metrics, good dashboards - and the pain of not having those. If you listen, you can learn a lot about running an application server from a bearded postgres admin and his monitoring.
Yes, I was surprised to find no mention of Polyphia, even to dismiss it. Are they not as popular as I thought?
IQ is imperfect and has many issues that haven't been accounted for, nor should it be extended to represent all of intelligence, and many tests claiming to test IQ are completely pseudoscience, if even that, but the general concept isn't pseudoscience. A standardized IQ test has correlation with a number of other indicators of intelligence. It isn't a prefect test and popular culture has greatly oversold its importance, but our society misusing the science, and even scientists historically misusing the science, isn't reason enough to call it pseudoscience.
I didn't get into exercising until I was in my 20s, but it absolutely has a reward. In general I just feel "better". Mood is improved, back pain is gone, etc.

And I'm just starting to appreciate the parts about pushing my physical limits in the past few years. When skiing, it's fun to push myself to the limits of what I can do while still staying in control and safe. When running, it's fun to push yourself the limits of what you can do, running faster, longer, etc. Ran my first half marathon with a friend this last weekend, and it was a blast.
There are multiple gradations of value. Linux exists even as Windows and macOS does also. They each have different strengths and weaknesses. It could be the case that only closed source LLMs are the most prevalent, but we have open source LLMs already available today that run on device and for free essentially. I don't necessarily see the world only moving towards closed source LLMs.

As much as I dislike notifications, they're becoming a necessity in a world of decommoditized email. If I could know that my mail would actually get through when I send it to a willing recipient (as opposed to the almighty Google System Lords deciding that my mail should be dropped because their chicken entrails said it looked like spam that day) then there'd be no need to reinvent email as notifications... but here we are.

>That’s exactly what we did. We had a brief discussion on broker fees, our domain broker had already proved himself and we liked him. The feeling was mutual, we got a great deal on his broker fees and paid $8,000 all said and done.

If you paid 8,000 for the domain and 1,000 or 1,500 for the broker, you paid 9,000 or 9,500, all said and done.
Amazon has gotten contact addresses for me from Gravatar being hacked, so it's not just a matter of "you should have known linkedin will share with anyone".

Looking at my screen time stats, I spend most of my phone time in the browser. Is there a way to restrict specific websites instead of the browser as a whole?
All loops run the risk of never exiting; it's basically how loops work.

This construct seems highly artificial. Perhaps it's an issue in some other less artificial cases, but the change does solve a high number of common errors, so overall it seems like a net win. I don't really see the problem here.
Ask HN: Anyone else had trouble giving Twitter money?
I'm trying to help a founder friend set up his paid ad campaigns for his startup, to run ads on twitter you now need twitter blue subscription.

When I tried to set up the twitter blue subscription, it said the account isn't eligible for twitter blue because it's not tweeted in the past 30 days, but as you can see here[1] it clearly has.

I emailed twitter support and got a reply that just said the account may or may not be eligible for twitter blue, but they're not able to reply to every support request.

Am I missing something here? Has anyone else had this much trouble giving money to twitter?

Like similar tech terms, it ends up inflating to "very strong", "ultra strong", "gamma" and such.
Same news in Spain: US tells Spain that is opened to clean site of 1996 nuclear accident. LOL

IMAO feels like there is an increase in the perceived danger of a nuclear black swan (shaped as unnamed rogue agents using uncontrolled radioactive waste to make dirty bombs). The Putin war is clearly escalating. We are now at the massive launching of phosphorus bombs part so a "nuclear but not so much and unsigned" event is unfortunately closer than ever.

Probably is in the mutual benefit for both parts to take control over this stuff and put it in a safer place.
I was responding to the diamond-types CRDT author's question in the parent comment. Their github project page [1] mentions text editing a lot:

> This repository contains a high performance rust CRDT for text editing. This is a special data type which supports concurrent editing of lists or strings (text documents) by multiple users in a P2P network without needing a centralized server.

> This version of diamond types only supports plain text editing. Work is underway to add support for other JSON-style data types. See the more_types branch for details.

In any case, I agree with the metaphor and batching granular operations can always be done.

Not to contradict the writer in any way, obviously in popular music this format has largely disappeared. But even so there are lots out there and a ton of diversity. Some from recent listening: James Blackshaw, Zoe Keating, Max Ananyev, Mary Lattimore, Anna von Hausswolf, Goldmund.

and of course Emahoy Tsegue-Maryam Guebro, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Jack Rose, RIP.

Individual musical artists have so many more tools now that they can produce a whole song with multiple instruments plus vocals much more easily than 10 years ago, let alone 50. But the trend is still interesting to track.
Google tried Swift for ML and it didn't make any dent in Python.
Sure, I'm glad it works that way for them. However, I'm glad Apple's rules exist so I don't have to deal with those and low-quality apps. I'm in the 98% majority that's fine with not having xxx or crap apps in the app stores.

Every time I use the android play store I'm just overwhelmed by the number of low quality crap.

It's pretty neat. So is Mastodon though, and the ActivityPub network feels a lot more active IMO. People aren't going to want to buy-into a DiD service just to microblog - Pleroma and Mastodon have much lower barriers-to-entry in that sense. In a way, it feels like Dorsey is star-struck by all the nerd porn protocols of the past and desperate to re-hash stuff that has already existed (eg. GPG, RSS, bitcoin, etc.). It's a valiant effort, but nothing will ever "replace" Twitter now. We are in a post-Twitter world, and people are learning to adapt. We need better glue to connect these disparate users, not Another Competing Standard with Blackjack and ID servers.

Why change something that mostly works fine? I don't like to change set of known issues for a set of unknowns.

Also those who want to avoid vendor lock in. Git repo might be moved around, do you like changing CI/CD scripts every time you change your git hosting service?

I think what gets lost in this debate is the fact that in most major US cities you can have two cars, a yard with a lawn you can mow and a guest room without sacrificing walkability and public transportation.

I live in a working class neighborhood in a major coastal city and still have everything I listed above: I bike or ride the bus to work but a lot of my coworkers drive; I have front and backyards (with lawns!) but I can walk a few blocks to a commercial district with dozens of shops and restaurants. Not every city looks like Manhattan. Not even all of NYC looks like Manhattan.
I'mma tell you as an avid veggie eater: veggies are not cheap. The amount of leafy greens that will make someone full (and properly nourishing leafy veg: spinach, kale, dandelion and beet greens, etc.) isn't cheaper.

Poor people aren't living high on spinach and kale. They're eating butter sandwiches for lunch because they're too poor for nut spreads and jam. They're eating 5 boxes for 2$ mac dinners. They're checking which of the soup cans they bought on a 10 dollar for 10 cans sale years ago are still good (aka not puffy) even though they're long expired. The cheap vegetables are starchy roots, but even the 50c/lb carrots don't hold up to processed food prices.

You can spread out 1 cup of rice with 9 cups of water as a soup. I was stirfrying cabbage with almost no seasoning. And it would still be cheaper and more filling to indulge in mac dinners and hamburger helper.
