Not sure why this is downvoted. It's facts. And, it follows the exact premise of the post, which is that

Companies (e.g., Amazon) hide negative news[1] with unrelated press[2][3] alongside SEC filings[4].

> Entirely possible that the quantity of trading jobs available isn't nearly as high as something like MS though.

Yes, exactly. Other companies like Jane Street definitely exist in the finance space and pay really well but collectively hire far fewer engineers than FAANG + FAANG-like companies do. The thing I like about them though is that most of the time their comp is all cash (salary + bonus) so you don't have to wait around for anything to vest before you can move on, if you so desire.
Is that a surprise really? I would expect most companies to be extremely secretive about their tech for this deciding period, once the tech clams down a bit it will go back.
I think everyone agrees with that value statement, the problem seems to be that no one else is interpreting this announcement that way. You would need to expect that the companies future was at risk, whereas I think most people are expecting that this is nakedly squeezing and anticipate collusion from competitors. As I understand it there is a documented history of that already.

Well you need both, a great idea and great execution. I agree with your sentiment though that execution (and timing) are the differentiation.
A common alternative to the "upgraded" is the sad "closed". My city lost its well-loved second run theater of several decades somewhat recently. At least in our case we're somewhat lucky that the owners of that continue to invest in our only non-chain first run theater, and while it has some of the "big seat" upgrades it still tries to do some of the foreign films and indies and big "midnight" rescreenings of classics. (And is still cheaper than the big box, big chain options.)

> Microsoft has been bleeding talent for the last 5-6 years due to low compensation.

I have been hearing this for awhile now. When I compare MS pay and benefits to what is on offer at other companies, almost the only jobs I see with better TC are at Meta and Google. And that will likely not be a thing of Meta's future.
Does msft do refreshers? And if so, are those also frozen?
Glad to hear it. I think maybe it's generational too. Watching the promotional video for Logic Pro on iOS and nobody featured on it is over 40, maybe even over 30.

They didn't double the salary budget, that was such a well played PR bs by MS. They doubled the "salary increase" budget for lower levels (so instead of getting a 1% increase per year, they'd give out 2% - to the lower levels).

I talked with a friend at MS and they said not only are they not getting any increase at all this year, the stock and bonus are going down to (or even lower than) last year's levels (before this supposed "expansion").

Kinda sucks...
because capitalism works. Any other system, not including its moral lacks, has failed and lead to corruption and poverty.

Capitalism has carried more people out of poverty in the past 30 years than any other form of progress. With it freedom has been brought
Well said. I'm a big metal fan and agree that vocals are fairly textural (especially death metal) and more of a sound. And always good to see Gorguts being mentioned in a comment. Ha.

Interestingly, had this complaint been about an ad, parent would have been upvoted with hundreds of comments agreeing with them.

In other words, what OP is trying to say is that websites should be designed with the users goals in mind, and IMO it's fair to say that this website wasn't designed that way.
Curious for fellow founders with the .com, how many of you defensively buy the .net, .org names as well? I find it hard to resist getting at least those three if I'm settled on a name/brand.
The focus on watermarking is interesting. If the major players embed watermarking, it probably will be meaningfully be used to detect cases where generated content is passed off as real. Unfortunately, proving authenticity isn't going to be possible. It's inevitable that there will be models out there built specifically to attempt to evade such detection. Society needs to adapt to the new reality that anything can be faked.
2nd derivative being negative doesn't mean inflation is becoming deflation though, it just means that the rate of change of inflation is decreasing, but the inflation(and rate of change of inflation)itself will still be positive(unless I'm misunderstanding something, which is entirely possible).
HN has been talking about the disparity in CEO vs worker pay for quite a while. Here's a highly-upvoted post from a little over 3 years ago about exactly this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20707473. Almost all the top comments are clearly on one side of the debate.
Oh boy, the ownership society from Bush Jr.

I own 100 stock and are paid 150,000 - coder

I own 1,000,000 stock and are paid 1$ and 150,000 stock - CEO

- CEO: "I am freezing wages"

- Stock goes up 10% Year to Year (say 100->110$)

- inflation was 10%

coder: salary is effectively 135k, ($15k loss), stock went up 1k

CEO: salary is down to 90 cents (10 cent loss), stock went up $10,000,000)

HN commenter who apparently things they are some great economist but quite obviously can't do basic math:

"But everyone gets to own stock!!!"

So to the meat, does the employee have the option to be 100% compensated in stock? NO. The CEO is effectively compensated that way, and LOVES IT because the effective tax rate on long term capital gains is 15%. You know, I would have LOVED to have been compensated in 50% stock or some equivalent with stock options (backdate me pleeeze like the CEO of UHG got to!)

So maybe I'd take your dumb comment at face value if everyone got to participate in the great executive tax fraud, but... we don't.
I was at UCB during this time. Very exciting! Here's a story people may not know:

The dump program, once the FFS was deployed, had not been modified to backup the last fragment of a file (because it was smaller, possibly than 4k). There was a disk crash on the VAX with the BSD source code and the disk company (Ampex, I think) came out and meticulously scrapped the bits off the disk, so CSRG could recovered the source code. There was no complete backup of it anywhere else.

That was a fun, early lesson in "test your backups".
An effective pay cut, it will increase the rate of natural attrition without redundancy and the related negative press.
Ah, I have to say, I still didn't quite understand the price from how the article is written, particularly since I wasn't sure if the squatter sold for their listed price of $8,000 or if they had accepted the $3,500 and that was their "final" price.

I only now understand that it was $8000 + $1000 broker fee based on your replies here.
I'm surprised they've chosen to release a medical focused model (Med-PaLM 2) before releasing a law focused model of PaLM. I'd think it would be simpler to train and also less liability?
The alternative of lay-offs is a false one, IMO. This is an independent action because the current environment and tech skills situation says they can probably get away with it. Collusion will spread across other major employers, in parallel to lay-offs.
yeah same. it's not a recitation / memorization challenge, it's an honest "if you ran into X at work, show me what would you do" exercise. It's hard to imagine an answer that doesn't start with "I'd probably google it." How do you evaluate the quality of the search results? How would you scan a page to quickly find the salient details? How would you test what you'd found to determine whether it was an effective solution? etc.
A quick glance to the history of the article, I see it was edited by multiple usernames and IP address at different times. How did you come to the conclusion that it was self authored?
DEA extends telemedicine option for prescribing controlled medications
> What??

According to your insurance company, that clinic charged you an excessive amount for its services.

For coverage (whether reimbursement, or deductible reduction), the insurance company will only count the "reasonable" amount.

This isn't an issue for in-network, since in-network providers are required by their contract to write-off anything exceeding the contracted rate.

You can try to get the clinic to write off the remainder; they may be willing to if they think it will hard to collect it from you.

P.S. DME (durable medical equipment, e.g. a sling) is often covered+adjudicated separately from provider services.

In the long run sure. But in the short run, employment is sticky. Especially in the professional world.
If you read their pdf they are mainly talking about "Prescription Stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin), Cannabis (e.g., Marijuana, Weed), Alcohol (e.g., Beer, Wine), and Mood Disorder Medication (e.g., SSRIs, Wellbutrin)" and others to less degree.
Yea I think they already gave up on trying to compete for talent. I mean look, they basically cancelled the Edge team and kept a skeleton crew around to customize Chromium. They can just throw money at new tech or businesses rather than growing it at home. Still, this has got to be a gut punch for employees who see $MSFT outperforming the rest of the market by a record margin.
Our company recently watched the first part of the "Inside Man" security series. I actually enjoyed it.
This country recognizes state-affiliated militias, and independent militias, both in law and court precedent. The state-affiliated militia would effectively be the national guard in modern times. That is not what I am talking about. Nor is it explicitly the kind mentioned in the 2A, which was clearly intentional.

The fall of nearly all great nations of this magnitude in history have been due to internal corruption and decay of the institutions. You don't protect against that with state-affiliated paramilitary organizations. You end up being the one protecting the decayed institutions and corruption. And if you refuse, and join a group of people trying to fight against it, then what? Oh interesting, an independent militia.

Your side's arguments really make the founders sound like idiots. They were not. They considered all of this. And they made a pretty simple and clear statement about it: it's a right of the people, to keep and bear arms. And it shall not be infringed.

If you don't like it, then amend the Constitution. That's how this place was supposed to work. But I guess society has decided we can forgo that step entirely.
OP misunderstood but you have it right. C# did not change the behavior of "for" loops; they only changed "foreach" loops. As an example:

List<Action> list = new();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
list.Add(() => Console.WriteLine(i));
foreach (var action in list)
action();

This (still) prints all 10s. All of the closures are referencing the same "i".
I tried Cedar out for a small research project when it was first announced, and it felt incredibly clumsy compared to what I could have done in OPA. That was probably 8-9 months ago, so things may have changed.
He’s surrounded by corruption. There is no evidence he is corrupt. There is a difference there in terms of to whom the personal gains accrue. He seems to play India’s corrupt oligarchs for political, not personal, gain. That’s hugely problematic. But it does not make him corrupt per se.
I've observed that error rates are not the same for every machine - there are very bad machines, which usually have some way of triggering enough errors systematically that they end up getting someone's attention, then there are bad machines which have memory errors or are observed to report errors or crash occasionally, and then a bunch of good machines which on the surface appear to work flawlessly. Sometimes what makes a machine bad is the memory itself, other times it's the hardware or the configuration that the hardware settles on. The statistics may be skewed by the uneven distribution of "bad machines" amongst good ones, especially if you take into account hardware in the hands of end users rather than servers. It gives a new meaning to "works on my machine."
> No, in this case the IDE won't help you.

Yes it does! I even tried it just to be sure with just that example "a" | "b" | string. The Playground and Webstorm both provided correct completions, Playground added a lot of wrong useless stuff, Webstorm - using tsc service I guess - only "a" and "b" as possible values (there is nothing concrete to other string after all).
I love the concept. Have you guys considered selling dumb phones? If done right I think you could make them a cool status item, or build a brand around the general idea of reverting to less addictive tech.

It’s possible to go for less, but when I’m taking my kids I want it to be a treat.

I went to see Dune in IMAX. 3 tickets were $72. The popcorn, hotdog, nachos, cokes, and candy were $80. So $150 total for 3 people and I extrapolated to 4. Although I think all of would have shared the one giant popcorn.
> As densities for things like RAM increase, error rates have to decrease commensurately to hide errors from end users.

But I would say that with more density you actually increase the error rate. Things like rowhammer are possible because higher density means smaller capacitors (as volume, and also as capacity) and so easier to casue bitflips. Or there is something in recent RAMs to compensate for the smaller caps?
Based on the downvotes you weren't alone. :)

Honestly I prefer a native app to a web app because the web browser is basically an O/S running inside an O/S and there's a annoying amount of gain mismatch / poor coupling between the two. Native (non electron) apps on the Mac just integrate with the other OS capabilities (e.g. text selection, drag/drop all work consistently and interoperate properly; keystrokes, shortcuts, system context menu & integrations, etc just make using the machine smoother. This is also true under iOS.

I don't like apps that are just a wrapper to a web view, but they do protect in one way: if you fumblefinger when entering an address in the browser it can autocomplete to a phisher, while my bank's app is in a known place on my screen.
Nothing is a surprise to hacker news readers after it happens. For example probably it wasn't a surprise that they gave such amazing detail about Palm 1 when it was developed.

Sure, but I'd say even more that SVR4 was the anti-BSD. AT&T should have accepted that BSD rocked and adopted it.

...I did.

Doug began offloading stock 11/23/2022. Doug is still selling this month. While I agree that some was predetermined, it wasn't all predetermined. And that's the point.
Regardless of energy density, creating gold in a fusion reactor will still be more expensive than digging it out of the ground. We are far from exhausting that natural resource.
This looks great! The only thing I'd really advocate for is not pricing the app ridiculously. I tried Opal for a while, but their pricing model per month is a bit ridiculous. Effectively a subscription service for what should be a single-purchase app demonstrates developer greed.

Edit: I'm a bit disappointed to see monthly fees here. Can you help justify to me why an app like this demands ongoing cost?
I had an all-lowercase website for a couple years on the early web. So did many of my friends. Archive.org snapshots are 2000-2001, but they'd been around before that in many iterations.

Final Cut Pro is a thing people already use in their workflow, becoming more convenient for them. People have depended on this as part of their production-ready workflow for over 20+ years now, and FCP-folks seem to have a lot of trust in the application and related tooling, that Apple isn't going to leave or abandon Final Cut anytime soon.

Google's AI features are not something most of us use in our workflow, and are (arguably/debatably) not making anything more convenient for us. That's all in addition to it being Google, so there's a built-in assumption that no one can depend on any of this, because it might be discontinued at any point with little notice.

(I say this as someone who does not own an iPhone or Mac, and has been on Android for over a decade) -- I can see why Mac folks would be excited by the Mac announcement, and why some aren't that excited by Google right now.
Maybe bad form to follow up on your own post, but just thinking about this more...

At the time, before IPv4 was introduced, IP addressing was 8-bit, and this was mostly a single machine per site. Moving to a 64-bit service address, early implementations could have kept their 8-bit address and had 56-bits for service ID, most of which could just be 0 and unused.

Some sites might then have gradually move to /8 for site and /16 for site+machine and 48-bits for service ID, most of which would still be unused.

Later on, we might see bigger networks taking a /8, /16 for network+site, and /24 for network+site+machine, etc...

Up to the present-day, we could easily see how /48 for network+customer, /56 for network+customer+machine and 8-bits for service would still satisfy almost every need. Given that IPv6 /48 are being given out like candy and a /40 is trivial to get for a larger organisation, there's not really a massive difference.

So, that largely covers inbound services, but there's also outgoing connections to consider. Given that IPv4/IPv6 already has to consider address+port on both sides to identify a connection, we could still have something like a /56 for network+customer+machine leaving 8-bits for discriminating between connections to a /64 remote service.

It's possibly interesting to consider that this is actually kind of how the original IP stack works - a connection is just the pair of 32-bit addresses plus the protocol and then UDP and TCP bodge in some extra port numbers as extra data within their protocol-specific data. If we'd instead had an IPv5 that extended the addresses to a pair of 64-bit addresses plus protocol, that TCPv5 and UDPv5 might not have even needed port numbers. This would then have shifted the burden of supporting TCP and UDP from the kernel (because it needs to be there for IPv4 to check access control to different ports) to potentially allowing user-space protocols to be implemented because the OS can assign the socket its 64-bit address and wouldn't really need to care what happens to it after that.

Dell also does this with their EMC storage arrays, it’s meant to push you towards their pro services. You are supposed to tell the array to order drives for you from pro services and someone from some nameless MSP contracted with dell installs it for you at a 10x markup.
Maybe 'bullshitting' was too strong of a word.

I was always raised that you don't brag about yourself, you don't take credit for things you didn't really do, and you don't over promise and under deliver.

As I've gained experience, I've learned that people can take self deprecating things as gospel and as a worker it's your job to talk up your abilities and invitations to identify 'things you can improve' have to be spun in a positive way. As much as I hate to admit it, salesmanship, presentation, and ones ability to 'smooth talk' seems to get you further than raw technical ability. I don't hold it against devs that are able to do that, it's just been an adjustment for me.
I'm not a lot older than her and have a similar fondness for that æsthetic. While it's true I didn't fully experience it, a lot of late 90's sites were still online, more or less untouched, in the late 2000's, so they were there to be appreciated even though they were a relic by then. At that time, IE stagnation was still a thing, and MIDI playback was still in browsers, so the 2008 experience of a 1998 site was probably fairly authentic.

I use the API and have a generic prompt prefix for each programming language and type of task to try to get as much bang for my buck with as small of a token count as possible, and then tossing in a single query with a bit of project-specific code fleshes out the rest of what I'm asking it. Prompt tokens are usually around 300-1000, leaving over 3000 for the response (which it rarely fully uses).

It's garbage at pulling in things from all over the codebase, so as a sort of co-evolution I write code that mostly only needs local context and only ask it questions that only need local context. That works great at home but doesn't suffice on the existing code at $WORK.

It's still helpful here and there at work (e.g., given this example string please output the appropriate python datetime formatting codes), but only because it's a wee bit faster than synthesizing the relevant docs and not because it's able to consistently do anything super meaningful.
