It's more complex than that. Some on-topic stories have political overlap and it would be neither possible nor desirable to exclude them.

There's lots of past explanation here for anyone who wants to understand how we approach this: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

(This is not a comment on the OP, which I haven't looked at.)
Leading question: suppose someone moved to SF, started out homeless, moved to supportive housing for a few months, and got kicked out and became homeless again. Are they counted in that oft-cited "70% of homeless people are SF natives!" figure?

ETA some additional numbers[0]:

Of that [71]%, the top six places they were housed before their most recent loss of housing:

With Friends/Relative (31%)

Home Owned or Rented by Self or Partner (21%)

Subsidized Housing or Permanent Supportive Housing (11%)

Hotel/motel (9%)

Jail or Prison (8%)

Hospital or Treatment Facility (4%)

So only 21% of that 71% actually rented their own place. Granted, the "with friends/relatives" can cover some situations where I'd agree they count as originating from SF, but also covers things like people moving here and crashing with a friend for a week before being kicked out.

Note also that any homeless who has become housed at any point of their homelessness (including jail, hospitalization, supportive housing) would then persist in the "has been housed in SF before" stat.

I just barely had a conversation with my daughter (going into adult age) about how ridiculous our education system is and how it tries to shoehorn lots of very different people into one uniform system of learning. She commented that it's because society wants to fit everybody into neat little boxes, but it doesn't work.

My take on your story is that college grades aren't necessarily an indication of how well you will perform professionally. Get your game face on and figure out how YOU can win, and understand that it doesn't have to match somebody else's definition of success.

The fact that you think you can just handwave away legal obligations like this with common sense is certainly telling. It says you don't know what you're talking about. You could reasonably assert that the government's ban of Kaspersky's software is motivated by FUD. However the ban itself is very real, violating the ban can get you into a world of trouble, so warning people to stay out of trouble for violating that ban is not FUD.

Explained by analogy: Them: "Smoking marijuana can get you into trouble with the government." You: "That's just FUD, it's a harmless plant from my garden, it's not going to hurt me."

Note: I am a digital nomad for half the year every year myself.

With that said on your second commentary about digital nomads, my question would simply be: Are they getting the work you expect done finished in a timely manner (comparable to others on your team)? If so, regardless of any other point, what is the problem? If not, then why didn't you address the issue quickly since you mention you're the one who hired them.

I do know there are some digital nomads who definitely minimize the amount of work they can do, but I still think the issue is with employers in general not being good at managing remote workers (not just digital nomads). If you don't set expectations or clearly communicate that they aren't working up to expectations, then of course they will continue to act in such a way.

Work is not my life, and I think that jars with the thinking of some others who prioritize their work over everything else. My honest opinion is that this primarily a failing of management and hiring you are speaking to. I do good work, and whatever is expected of me, and my manager is always happy. I make sure to do at minimum just that. But if I'm not doing that I would hope somebody would simply communicate that.

Résumé/CV: https://bit.ly/jsn-cv

Hey everyone,

I'm graduating in 10 days and seeking a software engineering role.

During my studies i have worked with IBM and a festival organizer to build a festival app for 50k people. I have also built a custom dashboard for a startup and some projects for my self :-)

Fields i'm interested in:
Web development,
AI/ML (Currently self-studying Andrew Ng's ML course)

It should be properly dead.
That is their problem and we shouldn't make this our problem.

If we are going after Twitter, we should also go after shutting down other internet cesspools like Gab, the chan boards and others.

The power I have is logging off and not feeding these trolls, that seemed to work well all the time.
That will be helpful with my open source projects. Thanks.
Fortunately you can work on shared cloud documents while still having more features and the faster response of local applications. I often work with local Excel or Powerpoint apps on cloud documents while another colleague is working on the same document. If I need to share the document, I just add someone to the share list. If someone emails me a document to work on I switch it to a cloud document and then share it back to them to try to change their habits of sending out discrete copies of documents.
> However, if we want to have a SaaS offering, making it Open Source could encourage people to trust that relying on that will not incur future debt. This is because they can circumvent future problems by self-hosting the open source version.

People hate vendor lock-in, but you don’t need to open source a whole self-hosted version of the system to mitigate this concern.

There’s a huge overhead to managing an open source product, issues, contributors, stability etc… and now you have another duplicate system to support

A better option might be to open source a migration tool or export tool, which would help people easily leave the platform if they really need to

I think the 8% number better explains why users were so overwhelmingly happy. Assuming the suggestions in general are not distractingly wrong, then 8% of code automatically written is a decent amount of time saved researching solutions.
This is wishful thinking at best. She's fending herself and she's making an honest living out of it. This system is not perfect but what is the alternative? There's no current solution for what lies ahead (potentially job loss on an scale never seen before).

I'm seeing government outright banning LLMs from certain industries just to avoid social unrest.
The big losers were the farmers - industrial workers (in the later years) had reasonably good pay for the work they were doing.

The farmers did not. They worked incredible hours, for little pay[1], and had very few options for leaving for a better life in the city.

Access to non-staple consumer goods was, of course, very uneven. The party gets first crack at it, and if anything's left, there's a dograce to pick up the scraps.

[1] Gosh, that part sounds just like being a farmhand today. Weird how farming is universally a shitty job.

It seems weird to attribute the rise to an even smaller fraction of the population than digital nomads. In Portugal, Golden Visas accounted for a grand total of 11,535 households in a time span of October 2012 to December 2022.

We have no stats on how many of those actually live in Portugal, but it should be noted that the Golden Visa holders only have to visit Portugal for one week per year and that counts towards the five years for citizenship. This was a major draw of that visa.

If it was after USSR collapse, we are talking about different countries. Like comparing the Mao China, with millions starving, and the 90's China.

Moscow after the USSR was just a city anyone could go, even the poor. During the USSR you couldn't travel freely, much less go to Moscow and look for a job. Getting a job in Moscow was a serious promotion.

a life dependent on a physician or surgeon's income. They were told they were building a castle, but instead they built a prison. The fact is, you just can't spend enough money to truly escape the stresses of your work, but you can certainly spend enough money to become shackled to it.

I don't know why you're making the leap in assuming that, just because you knew some physicians and surgeons who seemed to be inflating their lifestyle to match a high income, that OP is necessarily doing the same. There's no indication in their post of any of that.
Thanks, very useful, I was not aware of this. There really should be a warning before this happens. I really need test my incremental backups now.
I did some math on this with statistics that are available. I was as conservative as I could be. I assumed an SAT score std dev of 240. I used the legacy score of 1523 as the mean. I assumed a normal curve. I took the highest bound on percent of white admitted students who are legacy: 35% (in reality at Harvard it's probably a lot less). I used Harvard's current student body stats:{1984 admitted students and ~40% white}.

I found that only 2% of the incoming class would be theoretical white people who were admitted with legacy status and who fell to the left of 1 std dev in SAT score. If these people exist, I don't know what other circumstances might exist for them. Their SAT score is still high by US standards and they may be athletes or overlap with some other category for all I know or something else.

I think the below average legacy admit trope is actually deployed as a racial stereotype of white students that the SFFA, who are Asian, are using to gain access to Harvard. I don't think the hypothetical upper bound of 2% which is ~40 students is meaningful.

Now there is one issue with this which is that we don't have legacy student SAT scores broken down by race. But other sources suggest legacy students are disproportionately white. This is not true of the student body generally.

I'm unsure what your talking about. Surely SecDevOps would be mostly alerted when a vulnerability isn't caught by someone looking at OSS. Those vulnerabilities that are caught should be mostly invisible.
I mean, you're not saying that this project is "closed source" either, right?

So what is it if not "open source" on the scale between closed and open? "Half-open source"? "Leaked source" only refers to the way the source has initially began to be distributed, not whether it's open/closed right now.

This is fantastic! Maybe this means my next laptop will be from Framework. The keyboard was the deciding factor in my last laptop purchase.

TL;DR:

I really wanted an all-AMD laptop (with dGPU) for development and gaming on Linux [0].

So my first purchase was (IIRC) an ASUS ROG Strix G15 [1]. But I really hated the feel of the key caps and their action, so I sold it.

I ended up settling on a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (16ACH6H). I'm still bummed about the non-AMD dGPU, but I'm confident I made the right trade-off.

[0] I didn't need an nVidia GPU because I wasn't doing CUDA development. And I've had better luck with AMD's Linux drivers than with nVidia's.

> 2560x1600 on 16inch monitors.

Yeah, that's 188.68 PPI.

And while more can be nicer, anything above 150 PPI is IMO fine enough.

For a real big improvement one would need 3840x2400 (WQUXGA) here, that'd give one 283.02 PPI and thus a nice 2x scaling could be used, resulting in crisper text/lines.
But IMO that would be overkill and quite likely not be able to provide 165 HZ, or the GPU couldn't actually drive it at full HZ.

This is true, but one of the things I never appreciated about magic before I started hanging out at the Castle and learning from actual humans was how little the "moves" actually matter. Magic is a performing art, and it's much more about the details of the performance than the "moves". I learned the "moves" as a kid, but I was a horrible performer [1] until someone started drawing my attention to all the other little details. It's the difference between playing the notes and what someone like Yo Yo Ma does.

[1] I'm actually still not all that great, but at least now I know why!
Look at that subtle circuit, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my god, it even has a nano ARM!
During the years after WW2, the USSR has stolen huge amounts from East Germany and from the other East European countries, in various forms, from factories moved tool by tool from Germany to Russia, to huge bogus war reparations paid by other countries, to mixed companies owned by USSR and the local states, supposedly for cooperation in agricultural production, mining operations or forest exploitation, where the Soviets contributed nothing, except some general manager to oversee the local workers, but they took most or all of the production, exactly like it was done in the past in the colonies of the "imperialists" that the Soviets loved to criticize.

So there is no wonder that "Material conditions in the USSR improved dramatically after WW2".

However, after 1960 the flow of stolen valuables from the occupied countries has progressively dried and eventually the internal corruption made impossible to maintain the previous material conditions of USSR, much less improve them.
> Despite being a smart person, I've never been the kind of A type personality who does well at school.

It’s hard to measure smart. Especially to measure myself. How do I know if I’m smart or stupid? Beats me.

I’ve met people who think they are dumb and seem like a genius to me. And I’ve met people who wear “I’m a genius” and literally showed me a Mensa card and seemed very dumb to me.

I’ve met lots of people claim to be smart when “it’s important” but seem stupid to me.

So I don’t try to measure smartness.

Some people suck at school. That doesn’t mean you’re dumb. If you’re happy and productive then don’t worry about it.

But one want to substantiate intelligence is through credentialing systems like school. There’s tons of flaws and no way perfect. But I think it’s more accurate than just asking people if they think they are smart.
It was a useful read for me, esp seeing numbers on fine-tuning & use. We are piloting a DB analyst tool where users can use natural language to do DB queries, generate AI analyses, make interactive GPU charts, etc, so many nearby questions we think about a lot. Previously as a PhD publishing on program synthesis, most of our writeups were much smaller scale wrt live user evals, so all combiner... super cool to see.

For FB... It probably helps keep the team valued internally + helps with retention & recruiting. For PhD trained types, this kind of paper is almost table stakes.

Less obvious... FB has been laying off teams like this despite productivity ROI intuitions, so if I was there, I'd be careful to quantify current + future ROI - I'm sure there are key #'s not being shared.

The more experience I have had the more it seems like people won't know ahead of time what has to be done. So if there's a lot of planning involved without getting the thing to customers, there's whole a lot of speculation where 90% of the planning gets completely turned on its head anyway, when finally actual customers are able to use the thing.

And then slow builds and decisions would have to be rewritten anyway. Usually with many assumptions baked in.

So I highly prefer fast iteration where you get at least something out for the customers to use as soon as possible.

I had poor high school grades and was formally kicked out of my first community college for poor grades. Went into the work force, eventually went back to school at a different community college, and now have an ivy league degree. Sometimes the timing is just off or there are external factors that have nothing to do with your raw ability.
A physician shortage is not a good thing, but I'm closer to the nurses shortage; my wife is a nurse. Nurses get it from all sides: The healthcare administrators never put enough on duty, similarly they don't have enough CNAs helping them, and the patients and families can be pretty abusive.

It's really a game of numbers: You should have 1 nurse for every X patients, and Y CNAs for every nurse. But the common story is that there are always games being played with increasing the number of patients and decreasing the number of CNAs, leaving nurses having to do more things for more patients. This directly, negatively impacts patient outcome.
I was a pretty mediocre student in college, mainly because I did well in HS without having to work too hard and tried to apply the same methods to studying in college. I did well in courses that interested me, but overall was just an average student at least as far as gpa goes. I did find that I'm a much better student now than I was then, probably because when I take a course these days I have a goal in mind or something particular I want to get out of it so I'm more motivated to put in the work. Not perfect though. I imagine some doors closed were closed to me, especially in being able to go further in academics, because of this, but I don't think it made much difference career wise.

This Samsung [1] is only 14" and yet has 2880x1800 display. That's 200% resolution. Anything less than 200% is not interesting to me. iPhone with Retina display debuted in 2010. Isn't 13 years enough time for PC laptops to catch up?

Note that with a high enough resolution to enable 2x (or even 4x) scaling, text becomes much crisper as anti-aliasing isn't messing with the actual color that much anymore.

So, a HiDPI display _might_ make things easier to read/view even for people with a worse vision like you.
