I never landed a job using LinkedIn, I joined the site when I was young and saw everyone else doing it.

For me, LinkedIn is like any other social media, "okay enough" to find people and companies, but near-impossible to land a job.
It is far easier to search job elsewhere, go to the company portal, and apply job from there.
Yeah my comment wasn't actually intended as "rebuttal" so much as an observation that something is seriously broken in traditional news media.

It is a business, and so it is reasonable to have to just accept that a certain amount of sensationalism, click-bait and other "metric-increasing" tactics will be omnipresent so long as "traditional news media" continues to exist in some form. I've read that this has always been the case anyway, and people complaining about it is as old as people complaining about taxes. But clearly the target audience is just not buying what they are selling these days, no matter what that is.

I suspect that, in addition to the Internet putting serious competitive pressure on print media, social media is also playing a big factor in the demand for traditional news outlets. In current year, everyone is carrying a camera with them at all times and the ability to publish content instantly. When most people are so "connected", such that they can find out what is happening around them the instant it happens in a quick clip or headline, what use is there for long-form articles?

The human mind is the product of a brutal optimization function over a billion years old. That process of optimization has extended into the operation of the human mind itself. The human mind itself is an optimization machine. It can always imagine a better way to do things. Don't let the fact that there is a better way to do a thing stop you from doing the thing. There is always a better way.
>> It’s software that does what it was programmed to, and so does ai.

That's a big part of the issue with machine learning models--they are undiscoverable. You build a model with a bunch of layers and hyperparameters, but no one really understands how it works or by extension how to "fix bugs".

If we say it "does what it was programmed to", what was it programmed to do? Here is the data that was used to train it, but how will it respond to a given input? Who knows?

That does not mean that they need to be heavily regulated. On the contrary, they need to be opened up and thoroughly "explored" before we can "entrust" them to given functions.
The north didn’t “lose” its industry, im afraid. It was deliberately destroyed as a matter of policy.

Art of Electronics is popular but kind of horrible.

1) At the level you can understand it, you don't need it. There are better, more in-depth, shorter books.

1) At the level you can't, it's incomprehensible. You'll run into a brick wall.

It's hard to recommend something without knowing background, but to do electronics well, you need to know basic linear algebra and differential equations, and understand (at least on a cursory level) the Laplace domain. You also need to be comfortable with poles, zeros, and rational functions.

That's a high bar. The most common mistake I see is trying to get further without being over that bar. Below that, you have popular books, many cartoonish, which explain what voltage and current are and the basic components. That's enough to do some basic Arduino projects and robotics, but not really get what's going on more deeply.

Above that bar, there are much more in-depth and theoretical approaches one is ready for the Art of Electronics.

Horowitz and Hill tries to compress that stuff down, toss in a bunch of oddball topics, and it doesn't really work.
That's not Github's fault or Github's problem, from an antitrust perspective. If they went out of their way to make it difficult, you might have an argument but, as far as I know, they aren't. It's just practically difficult by the nature of the problem.
Some combination of (1) I have no reason to suspect it’s being monitored, and (2) the amount it bothers me if in fact it is is minimal.

The performance review process at e.g. Google explicitly promotes credit and fame seeking. Recognition and "impact", especially cross-team, are called out as critical. You will not advance there without it.

I saw plenty of projects get derailed by this. Technical goals in general take the back seat to presentation goals.
Definitely agree. It’s not “the code has been deprecated”, it’s “your attitude has been deprecated”. One of the big challenges with technology is staying current because it moves so fast. We’ve all seen trends come and go, even outside of software. If it wasn’t evolving we’d be doing something wrong.
This doesn't make sense whether you know he's failing or not. With that amount of money he can literally buy a temporary success when needed. That makes betting against his companies extremely risky - even if you're sure they'll collapse long term.

If Twitter could still be traded, he could announce his X app with some broken features, buy lots of ads, pay for influencers and reviews, and Twitter price would go up. And he's the kind of person who we know could totally do it.

Google did a change that went unnoticed by the majority of us.

Fortunately there is a way to get more accurate results than what you currently get with this option being turned off by default: Click on the Tools button and change from All Results to Verbatim; now you should get better results than before; it's not a panacea, but still it's better than what you get by default I'm afraid.
Sure, you're right, but the simple explanation of regression is better to help people understand. What you're saying, I agree with mostly, but it changes nothing to contradict the fantasy scenario proposed by all of those who are so worried. At that point, it's just "it can be better than (some) humans at language and it can have things stacked on top to synthesize what it outputs."

Do we want to go down the road of making white collar jobs the legislatively required elevator attendants? Instead of just banning AI in general via executive agency?

That sounds like a better solution to me, actually. OpenAI's lobbyists would never go for that though. Can't have a moat that way.
The book had 2 sequels, which show that Colossus was working to keep humanity safe. (It would've really helped if Colossus had told us what it was protecting us from, but even computers can make mistakes.)
This is to some degree reassuring; as the chemical was phased out in the 1970s, maybe it means Parkinson's rates among people who are middle aged or younger today, and thus much less likely to have been exposed, will be lower than boomer+ rates.

I realized just over the weekend that the side project I'm working on is in fact a kind of journaling language. It has passed through a number of iterations, started out as a timeline maker (and still does that best), but at the end of the day is a spec for writing what happened when. Or indeed what you hope will happen in the future - I find it's a good planning tool too.

I find myself actually journaling now that I don't have to think about where I'm going to do it, or in the case of most note-taking apps, which note I should put my current thought in. Journal it first, and if it deserves to be somewhere else, move it later.

The project is https://markwhen.com
55 dropped, 6 stayed the same and 32 improved. Or to put it another way, this really isn't news. Then when you hear 96% of Chinese universities improved... this has nothing to do with the UK at all! Of course if one massive country manages to improve practically all their universities' rankings in 1 year, everyone else in the league table will be going down. The question is what happened? Did the universities actually just all suddenly improve in 1 year? I doubt it. This is almost certainly the rankings changing the way they regard Chinese universities.

When I was at Uni we had exactly this game happen. I was at a uni where our department was ranked highest in the country, then the student survey went around. At the time if you talked to anyone about how satisfied they were with the course they were pretty pissed off, somehow the department had managed to mis-grade every single group project for the largest single grade of the year and as a result capped everyone's grade, which for some people was very important.

Guess what we wrote in the student survey? That we fucking loved the place. Why? Because student satisfaction counted towards the rankings and we wanted our degrees to be valuable so we wanted a good ranking. All these measures are pretty bollocks.

The reason why you do not want to co-mingle personal and work compute resources.

> because you can't make asciinema span multiple tabs or panes

Of course you can:

1. create tmux session, create splits/panes
2. detach
3. asciinema rec
4. attach (inside asciinema rec)

This way asciinema records your whole terminal, and tmux running inside of it.

In other words, if you have it like this:

terminal -> tmux -> pane -> asciinema rec

asciinema can't see outside of the pane its running in. However, if you have it like this:

terminal -> asciinema rec -> tmux attach

asciinema sees all of it because its parent is your terminal, not tmux pane.

It has not improved my life. I tried it and found that it was a good way to process my thoughts and feelings. But exercise and therapy/coaching were better for that. Journaling in addition to the other efforts would be a very ineffective use of time. Journaling instead of them would be detrimental.

Making a Resume with Node.js Babashka (Nbb)
Building user experiences is inherently some of the most difficult software engineering there is.

It's not difficult because the existing tools are poorly made (though most of them are), it's difficult because the core problem is extremely complex (in the Rich Hickey [1] sense of the word, e.g., braided, intertwined, complected, etc.).

In order to build a user experience, we start with some information that can often (though certainly not always) appear both simple and easy (i.e., unbraided and comprehensible). But then we must create a projection of that information onto a 2D (or 3D) plane and manage it's changing state over time.

This is where everything falls apart. We're usually trying to manage a very wide, very deep, loosely defined tree of state and we're trying to reflect an arbitrary number of user interactions and mutations instantly, and over time.

Exactly zero of our tools (programming languages, UI toolkits, Operating Systems, etc.) have strong support for managing change-over-time in a way that makes this type of problem fast, stable or enjoyable to present, use, verify or mutate.

I love that the OP showed the triangle of Performance, Adaptability and Velocity. I've been framing a similar concept with teams since 2011 which I refer to as, "Fast, Stable and Delightful."

It's my thesis that we need to balance these three requirements in both our activities and in the output that we produce. This balance is incredibly difficult to achieve and harder still to maintain.

Different organizations tend to focus internal power in one of these 3 nodes (e.g., Google on Stable, Facebook on Moving Fast, and Apple on Delight). Note that the desire to move "Fast," or even to be "Stable" rarely achieves the desired result.

The only organization I've seen manage these values effectively is Apple and I believe this is because people there have understood for decades that speed and stability are prerequisites for delight, but that neither speed, nor stability (alone or together) are sufficient to make something that gives humans the sense that someone, somewhere actually cares about how they feel.

I love how the OP is exploring this problem space and how they are digging into the existing solutions and trying to define the problem with some rigor. This is fertile ground for exploring new ideas and new approaches. Please do not discourage this activity!

Agreed. Even by their on demand price, cost per A100 per year is <$10k. Even if they somehow make maintenance and electricity cost to close to 0(which likely won't be the case), and their GPU usage 100% they are running it with operational loss for the first year.
There is social pressure to have this reaction to appear cultured, which is a bit of a confounder.

Not knocking the skill involved, being a high fidelity human rendering engine takes a lifetime of dedication as well as a base level of natural talent which very few possess.
I drink decaf, and I mostly agree with you.

I drink it because when I need caffeine, decaf has enough for me. When younger, I drank it to fit in.

With enough sugar and milk, it tastes great, but so would anything. I am sure high-end coffee is great, but it’s never worth the effort to me, so I don’t know about that.

The people who think retail is being harmed could not have traded 15 years ago.

Anyone who thinks things were better for retail back in the day with at least $5+ per side and some guy in the middle in NY or Chicago making a market on a floor is a moron. There is just no other way to put it.

Markets in 2023 is an absolute dream for retail.

The solution seems to be fsync. It’s what it’s for. It’s very appealing to wave it away because it’s expensive.

The situation above may be just one example of data loss, but it seems there could be others when we gamble on hoping servers restart quickly enough, and don’t crash at the same time, etc.
> Remember all the talk about how we should all eat lots of anti-oxidants to prevent cancer? It turns out it's more complicated than that, and an anti-oxidant rich diet can actually increase cancer risk.

Which is probably because Mitochondrial Complex 1 inhibitors work by producing radical oxides in the mitochondria.

I definitely agree with you that it's inherently very risky to mess around with them, but I also don't think it's at all obvious that being exposed to them will increase your all-cause mortality. It may even reduce it. We just don't know.

Never found a job through LinkedIn. If you don't look at the wall/home/feed, it's just another tool to look up companies, candidates and stay in touch. The feed is extreme cringe to the point that I can't believe some of the posters are real humans.

Edit: on the other hand, I have no clue where else to look for jobs in tech. HN seems to be mostly US-focused.
With AoE, the machinists handbook, and some textbooks on medicine/chemistry/agriculture/geology you could rebuild society on a different planet. It's one of those counterpoints to the "nobody knows how a pencil is made" thing.

It's probably only good for a beginner with like 180 IQ. You can cover weeks of material in 5 pages, and it's well over 1000 pages total.

I'm an electrical engineer and I own a dozen or so textbooks for referencing. I don't even use AoE for referencing because it's so dense.
Ask HN: Methods for (nicely) encouraging self-driven problem-solving for others?
I'm wondering what ways some other senior/lead people help encourage other engineers/developers to improve their self-driven problem-solving without coming off as combative or dismissive?

I'm currently tasking 5 other developers with a variety of tasks, which I am comfortable doing. My current struggle is to encourage my team members to do some self-learning or training when coming up to a problem that they cannot solve. The big concern is coming off as overly combative or dismissive to legitimate issues that arise day-to-day, but I am simply too busy to help diagnose simple errors.

I absolutely don't mind helping solve problems, and I want to encourage open dialog among team members and myself. I am currently struggling with people coming to me with minute problems that can be solved with a simple search in either our knowledge base or their favorite search engine.

Any tips?
Yes. It was useless to me and I would not work or apply anywhere that requires it
A similar story took place with checkers in the mid 20th century. People discovered that Senegalese players, who played a similar but not identical game, had transferable skills and knowledge that allowed them to instantly compete with top professionals.

It's not "move fast and break things", he is just a horrible manager. Musk is a "big ideas guy", and he is good at pushing people to the breaking point to achieve those, but you have to keep him away from the important dials - like they do over at SpaceX and to some extent at Tesla.

You probably signed an agreement to allow audio and visual recording. This is usually for the company to CYA to allow video conferencing but also for more nefarious reasons like you said. If you signed an agreement for audio recording (almost every Fortune 500 requires this), then assume your mic is always hot and that you cannot control when it records

> retail GPUs are much more powerful

I agree with your basic point about building vs renting, but retail GPUs aren't simply more powerful. Retail GPUs are just as fast but have a lot less VRAM and memory bandwidth. The RTX4090 has 24 GB of VRAM with 1 TB/s of bandwidth. The A100 has 80 GB at 2 TB/s. For some tasks, the memory and bandwidth are the strongest constraints.

The problem: illegal farming and logging will always be more profitable than whatever the West can manage to pay countries like Brazil - not to mention it isn't sure how much the West can reasonably hand out in payments given the multiple crises straining our budgets, or how much isolationist politicians like Trump want to pay out / if they are even interested in climate and nature protection.

And on top of that come the corruption issues. Large amounts of foreign money flowing into poor(er) countries has historically always invited either said money being grifted away or redirected to other political budgets that have nothing to do with the purpose the money was originally earmarked for.
I think the phrase "linked to" should be banned in science-adjacent journalism. It's too vague. "Antibiotics are linked to disease", just negatively. Any correlation can be called a "link". Far too vague.
