That's basically my reason for wanting all laws to be simplified to the point that an average person can remember at least half of them[0] in aggregate — if people don't know their rights or responsibilities without having to pay a lawyer, that feels unjust by my standards.

That said, there's no rule of nature that says running a business has to be cheap; it may not be optimal if all the laws in each marketplace are different, but I feel much less strongly about it — and not just because higher levels of government can unify and simplify when things get too much, nor just because I'm in Europe and one side of the border is all Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz and the other is Ustawa o przeniesieniu zadań z zakresu nadzoru nad etykietowaniem wołowiny because it's not just the law that isn't unified.

Leaked MSFT messages show employees blasting pay cuts and low morale to execs
Requiring you to pay online is even worse than just not accepting cash.
They also make a lot of assumptions about how cities are designed. The first thing I noticed when I started up Simcity 4 again this week for the first time in 20 years is that it's all single-use zoning. The rest of the world outside the US says hello.
Had a friend laid off and saw his job posted not a month later (with the stereotypical #hiring LinkedIn corpojargon). Many employees make a big hubbub of the org being employee-centric, people driven, blah blah blah. I almost joined their org because of how my friend talked it up last year. Despicable.

Never seen it locally--not that I really have much in the way of public parks where I live. I was mostly referring to the fact that it seems you just see fewer people playing frisbee casually than you used to. (I did and I've never played frisbee golf in my life.)

In fairness, I'm not really sure frisbees are a fad. They've gone through peaks and valleys of popularity but they've generally stayed around in some form.
The question you should be asking is how many China can make in a month.
Airbnb Preps for ‘Anti-Party’ Summer, Wants Neighbors to Snitch
Most roller bags have 20cm rods built into the handles.

The TSA explicitly allows hand tools up to 17cm (7 in.)

I think that at this point the TSA is more interested in explosives since hardened cockpit doors, and passenger willingness to intervene have pretty much killed takeover style hijackings.
Oh, that sounds really workable! And you can store more energy in a smaller space due to the water pressure I guess.
> I hate to be argumentative

You aren't, thats a nitpick not an argument

> you really need to educate yourself on serfdom

Sure, I could make a long explanation about middle engalnd feudal titles and how despite our modern conception of most poor people as serfs, a middle class of Franklin existed, that comprised the kind of freemason associations that now still exist in the City of London as Guilds, although most are currently NGOs and charities some still work on their original mission.

Or I could use serf as "non ruling class" following the comment I replied to, because that is how OP used it. Although technically he probably meant peasant as that was the class which no land whether serf or just labourers, I understood what he meant and replied tongue in cheekly about how some farming chemist aided the nazis, I say tongue in cheek because I made the farming connection to serfs

Hopefully the analogy works for you now that is being laid out.
Do not attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity.
This is patronizing advice imo.

It's possible that the grass just looks greener, or that the OP is just burnt out. But it's also true that it can sometimes be a good move to change what you're doing, even if your current job pays a ton of money. Of course, it'd definitely be beneficial to explore which one is the case before committing to the change.

what part of the economy is doing fine?
I can't speak for Meta specifically, but mass layoffs don't generally correlate with worker productivity. At the end of the day it is all about CEOs making shareholders happy so they get rewarded with juicy bonuses. Shareholders see their stonks going down so they want cost cutting. People making decisions are not always aligned with the long-term interests of the companies they manage.
That's easy to test. Is there an alternative sub you can join that is about the president then?

Top ML Papers of the Week (May 15 – 21)
:/ i think the first step is disregarding the thought process that a "Professional job" is not a manual job....that's kind of an insulting thing to say.

Army, Marine Corps, Wildland Firefighting, Owning 3x Coffee Shops, and now Software Dev for 10 years.....

just saying.
Though at that price, a number of workouts are very limited. The step up is $24 which is still cheaper but I can see the company calculating that if someone has spent $1500 for a bike they'll spring for the full on-bike subscription as opposed to sticking an iPad somewhere.
Try this: https://jalammar.github.io/illustrated-transformer/

Attention is explained separately. I have not seen an all-in-one diagram and cannot imagine one being helpful, since there's too much going on.
The term "neighbor" here is confusing. Venus has the planetary orbits right next to Earth's. That makes them "neighbors" - they live right next door from each other.

Mercury is the closest planet on average, but calling it the closest neighbor is just confusing.
Not bike lanes, bike paths
And every CEO makes empty statements. Do you also believe the “we are family” bullshit? The DI&E initiatives? Did you believe the “Do no evil” motto they use to have?

Why would I believe anything my CEO says in that regard who I am 7 levels removed from and I’m one of only 1 million+ employees at the 2nd largest employer in the US? I know I’m just a number.

> Their next job might not pay as well

As hinted above, I also work for BigTech, so I’m in no way bitter about their income. But how large of a fiddle should I be playing for someone who might not make $300K - $400K and might have to sully themselves and be a corporate dev making “only” $150-$170K like most of the 2.7 million devs in the US (as I did most of my long career)
> I'm just not sure what consume and the Alpha have to do with each other.

This seems like semantic evasion? Consume exists[1] precisely so that you can write code using the C++ memory model that works correctly on a superscalar Alpha chip (not the 21064/21164, those are in-order). Saying that it doesn't have anything to do with alpha seems really strained. If alpha didn't exist then consume wouldn't exist and people would be writing these as unconstrained/normal loads because that works everywhere else.

[1] Again, AFAIK. Lots of folks in this thread, including you, seem to be implying that other such hardware exists. But I'm not aware of it. And my broader point is that this kind of "standards first" discussion obscures understanding.
Yep, this is my position. As soon as you do it, people are going to (1) try and squeeze more stuff in and then (2) the names become configured somewhere and diverge from whatever the original purpose was.

Another requirement is you want the names to be a sparse address space: there should never be confuse-able or mistypable characters which drop you into another computer name - so systems like r0001, r0002, r0010 etc. should be right out.

Finally you also want the name to be human pronounceable: if everything's going well, it'll never be said. When things are not going well though, you want it to be something that can be communicated verbally if you need to - i.e. over the phone, or across an office.

Hence, word-lists are ideal as hostnames. Keep them short to around 2-3 syllables. They must be meaningless (and thus also not imply meaning). Any other information you need should come out of the CMDB. If you need more specific info hanging around, then you DNS and CNAME's to set up aliases for things like trying to SSH into "the machine at these rack coordinates" and keep that information updated from your CMDB.
I don't know how I can provide evidence without access to JSTOR. I don't feel like spending $30/paper to come up with statistics and studies for you.
>In April, Meta reported first-quarter revenue rose 3% from $27.91 billion a year earlier, after three straight periods in which it declined.

>Despite the cost cuts, Meta is still investing heavily into the nascent metaverse, and its Reality Labs unit, which is developing virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, logged a $3.99 billion operating loss while generating $339 million in sales in the first quarter.

>Investors have praised Meta’s major cost-cutting, sending the social networking giant’s shares rising 180% to $246.74 since bottoming at under $89 in November.

the company has money, management keeps investing in a dead end product & making workers pay the price for its lack of success, and the soulless ghouls who parts of the company make money off people losing their jobs

What I cited is just the mathematical reason why Netflix (or any company, really) cannot grow strictly monotonic in perpetuity. In reality, this is the reason why Netflix's curve will NOT be strictly monotonic, as you rightly pointed out.
I don't understand how you don't understand that. It's a power differential that frustrates people. You can be fired from an employer without it affecting their bottom line, but having it drastically affect your bottom line.

Also, what the hell are you talking about about them "not demanding loyalty"? Big companies demand loyalty all the time. When I worked at an Apple, I had to sign a whole bunch of non-compete forms. Talk about "demanding loyalty"; I technically wasn't even allowed to open a Github issue on an open source project without permission. The only leverage you have as an employee is quitting.
Spot on, it's the whole attitude towards not caring what is right but what you can get away with. Endless frustration with that.

My wife has a masters degree in marketing. She ditched the desk job to become a dog breeder. She's never going to have desk job ever again. After a few years she asked me to build online business related to it (https://www.canadapups.com). I think the key is to mix expertise. Marketing + dogs, technology + dogs, technology + coffee. If someone feels like they need to switch careers, it's probably a great idea - good chance of success in the next career due to bringing the previous careers skills to the new one.

I came across a great, well-paced, well-paid¹ outdoor role that still involves a small amount of tech.

Thanks, that's more useful, yeah.
I'm somewhat acquainted with the German deposit system. While I don't know if littering decreased after it was implemented, I saw a lot of people leaving their bottles and cans in parks on purpose so bottle collectors can get them, as a kind of donation I guess? The deposit is just about a quarter though, not a dollar.

(Also I have 666 reputation right now, please don't ruin it)
There is no way Elon doesn't know about this. I think for him, poor people should feel unhappy. He feels it immoral for poor people to be happy and content.
I've been in this industry for a long time, and have been through a few fundamental shifts, and of course, I have adapted to and valued change throughout. But I have never felt nearly as pessimistic/doubtful about the future of software development as I do now.

Nothing will make me happier than to be wrong about what I see coming.
Stock price is forward looking. Meta does not pay dividends, so maybe it was the belief that the new initiatives won't work out and the old money sources will wither away.
even if the CEO makes 10,000x more? if you annualize zucks net worth that's where he's sitting, and that ratio actually is pretty comparable to what it was during the lord/serf days.

If it needs to periodically verify account status to enable any features, it is not fully functional offline and certainly not "offline first".

It doesn't matter what the offline grace period is. The problem is that it's a grace period.

Yes, and it's quite telling in its own right.
Why are you looking at wives, and not mistresses?

e.g. all of the ladies Tiger Woods, or David Letterman, etc., was cheating on their actual wives with. The President of the US used to sleep with famous figures like Marilyn Monroe, or occasionally chubby interns.

Jude Law married the model / actress Sienna Miller... but got caught sleeping with his kids' fairly plane-jane nanny.

You marry on your level to be around that person, but that doesn't mean you're not sleeping with cocktail waitresses and bar floozies.
I've owned the bike for 3 years and IMO Peloton's value is the class content, not the device. I've mentioned it before on HN and having tried many services over the years, I don't think anyone but Apple has even come close to providing the same kind of consistent value for general fitness instruction, and they had Peloton's product to draw from when they created it.

I don't think I'm alone in finding the task of designing workout plans challenging, and often demotivating. Obviously it's not the same as paying for coaching or personal training, but being able to open up the app and just have a workout ready to go is valuable to me. I understand some being miffed that the subscription cost is higher for those who own Peloton hardware, but the price point is still much lower than what I would be paying (and was paying) for local classes.

I don't know if this is valuable enough to sustain the business, but I hope it is.
Closing over variables is the thing that makes it a closure. Otherwise, you just have an anonymous function. A closure is a function plus the captured environment.

The difference is meaningful here. You have to allocate a closure (and deal with its lifetime and the lifetimes of the variables it references) but the anonymous function is just a pointer to static code in the binary. That's the entire difficulty with closures in non-GC languages.

This distinction matters less in GC languages where you're not thinking about lifetimes either way.

Jesus was outcast by the temple for speaking against Jewish law. That kind made him “of the people”. Anyway, giving back to one’s community - either through church or a volunteer organization like Habitat for Humanity or Food Banks are very purposeful when money is taken out of the equation.
You don’t understand the the vast difference, not just in wealth, but power, in the United States, and silicon valley in particular. This is a place where 400k/year won’t buy you a nice house.

Chris Rock explained the difference well when he said, “Shaq is rich, but the white man that signs his check is wealthy.”

Let's sum this comment up as strong opinion, but light on facts.
Why do a lot of people rent and go on vacation? To party and have fun.

Seems like Airbnb is kinda at odds with one of it's main reasons for existing.
To be fair, the opinion could be so heinous that it would get anyone blackballed almost anywhere. A case could be made the opinion is so bad, that even implying it exists and letting the reader fantasise about how bad it is will not land them even close to the disaster that it really is.

I must admit, I've woven a hypothetical so thick I'm starting to be curious about what the opinion could be. It was meant a little tongue in cheek though :)
Another view would say that the explosion in the video, where the air-defense battery appeared to be, demonstrates that the claim about all Kinzhals being intercepted was not truthful. The initial claim was that the Patriot battery was undamaged, but later it was admitted that the battery was at least partially damaged. It seems that the full truth is not being told, possibly by both sides.

> Note also that they purposefully forbid videos of air defenses to avoid showing where air defenses are.

This has not prevented videos from leaking, as in this case.

> At least one Kinzhal was confirmed shot down earlier before the wave of 6 or so.

Independently confirmed, or claimed? This gets to my initial point, that one should be extremely skeptical about unverifiable claims made by both sides.
Auger: Identify and Remove Sales Emails from Your Inbox with GPT
Hey HN,

Cold emails make it past my spam filter every day, so I wrote this to handle them using LLMs. It's actually done great with non-classifiers like ChatGPT. (Will be testing other LLMs out too.)

Threw this together to see if anyone from this community would be interested in testing it out with me. Happy to answer questions.

I simply asked it to make it unit testable and it did the task 100 percent.

I'm not sure where your side track is coming from. Who in their right mind would ever check in code that prints a range of numbers from 0 to x?

The example wasn't about writing good code or realistic code. It's about an LLM knowing and understanding what I asked it to do. It did this by literally creating a correct answer that doesn't exist. Sorry it doesn't satisfy your code quality standards but that's not part of the task is it? Why don't you ask it to make the code quality better? It can likely do it Maybe that will stop the subtle insults (please don't subtly imply I'm incompetent that's fucking rude)

Like why even get into code quality about some toy example? What's the objective? To fulfill some agenda against AI? I think that's literally a lot of what's going on in this thread.

You are supposed to yield to traffic when opening your car door into a lane. The "sanctimonious" cyclist is justifiably mad because you violated his right of way and placed him at risk of severe injury.

That's another way of saying about the same thing. Which, again, is intuitive and sounds correct. But again, most studies I've seen of this show no or only a very weak link between enforcement and crime rates. Except those issued by the police themselves. Where have you gotten this information?

I wasn't trying to be combative, I just thought you had an idea that I hadn't thought of that would satisfy the privacy concerns with the freedom to photograph in public concerns.

>By evaluating the context, subpoenaing records and conversations, questioning under oath, looking at the effects and history of actions of the individuals involved.

So a lady gets arrested for photographing her child with your house in the background, she would now have to be interrogated, give a deposition under oath and go trial and go through all that?

Writing good laws is hard.
That invites follow-up questions, though.

* Is the Patriot the only available system? (No. THAAD, SM3.)

* Is monthly production likely to matter in a US vs. China war? (Probably not.)

* Can China's hypersonics hit moving targets like carriers? (Much harder, at the very least.)

China also has to ask the "what if our R&D, procurement, and training system is as corrupt/ineffective as Russia's turned out to be?" question.
Congrats on the launch!

How do you approach handling sensitive data that might come from a CMS in an AI context?
