As long as college is an acceptable, and legal signal to use in the hiring process nothing will ever change. It's prisoner's dilemma. The "better" schools will always incentivize more and more pathological behavior in order to get a competitive advantage.

I propose that similar to age and gender, college name be no longer required as a criterion for job applications. If there is indeed an advantage of going to a better school than this will manifest itself in the actual interview process. If there is not, then it will be quickly realized that it doesn't make any sense to jump through these hoops to go to the better schools and thus the problem solved.

It's unlikely to happen as most legislators in the USA went to the very same schools that one is attempting to gain admittance to - a clear conflict of interest.
Just some racism as long as you don't say the bad words, and light thought policing? It sounds like you want the HN mod policy, which makes sense bc that's where we are. Other sites can have different approaches though.

Why not to make that kind of smartphones which do not leak user's data? Of course, Chinese folks have a high culture of working with any kind of open sources (OSInt) and of course TikTok's approach is incompatible with EU's desire to treat people as willing to share to anybody (such as governments of EU) as much personal information as possible. Just let users to be safe using FOSS and no extra bureaucratic work of prohibiting this and that apps.
I think the toothpaste is out of the tube on creating good communities like the Reddit of yesteryear.

Between lowering the barrier to entry (and average age) with phones, astroturfing and bots, and the overall impossibility of moderation, I just don't see it happening anymore.

We need to go back to purposely small communities.

Oh boy. I can see it now:

By accepting this offer, you agree that Amazon has the right to collect anonymized web traffic data. This helps us improve your customer experience and offer you more relevant product suggestions when you search on Amazon.com and other Amazon affiliated properties.

Edit:

More interestingly perhaps, this allows Amazon to bypass the tracking restrictions at the platform level (say enforced by Apple, and has harmed Facebook).

Dropping to the network infrastructure level may make attribution and tracking on Amazon Advertising best in class across not just Amazon.com, but other properties? I don't know enough about the space so just musing, but I can't help feel this is a major development that's a bit more than Prime members now get more free stuff.
Not (necessarily) relevant to this solution, but I've recently come across a use case where it would be valuable to allow third-party (semi-trusted) individuals to sandbox/build/test some data processing/transformation pipelines in Jupyter and then "operationalize" that into ongoing ETL in my main webapp/API once they're finished. Not the same use case as Mercury but still in the bucket of hoisting a notebook into a more repeatable/operationalizable runtime. Does anyone have experience with something like that?

ATT/Verizon/T-Mobile are dumb pipes subject to lots of regulation. The only one with decent profit margin is Verizon, and they are already the most expensive.

ATT is loaded up with debt from stupid attempts to not just be a dumb pipe, and I do not see much upside from buying any of them. Any future cash flows are surely already priced in since they are all basically utilities, and I do not see where the efficiency/synergy gains would be for another business to merge with them.

If I was an intelligent person, I would use a basic phone for making phone calls and not carry surveillance devices on my person or have them in my house. This way I would not have to worry about keeping up with agencies that operate above the law, are accountable to none, and operate with huge budgets to subvert the ethics and mores of capable people.

It's like a button that takes $5 from the person behind you. Of course you're incentivized to press it. Doubly so if your victim has the option as well (except for the poor schlubs in the last row). Maybe we should all just press it as soon as we can. Or maybe nobody should. There isn't a right answer.

The real question is why the airlines have even set up this crazy little psychology experiment. It's probably because many years ago somebody concluded that the value of making the passenger feel like they have the tiniest shred of agency is greater than the cost of unnecessary conflict between passengers. I sure do look forward to pressing that damn button though and I've never gotten in a fight on a plane, so maybe they were right.

He says he has a T14s gen 3 and it is not of great build quality. I have a P14s gen 3 from work (which I presume the only difference is the GPU, but I never looked nor care to) and think the build quality is fantastic. I know though that Lenovo's output is variable, but the one I have, which is the newest TP I had in years, is solid for what I need.

At least in my view with what I have and reading this, going with a framework feels like a little bit of a shot-in-the-dark, trusting that Framework will deliver on expectedly high build quality like TPs in the past. (better to quote "high build quality" -- I have older TPs with cracking plastic. I had one X220's plastic parts basically crumble apart when I tried to fix the adapter plug. At least in later high-end models, they actually do have decent outer-bodies.) I know that Framework has worked out many issues (like bad screen hinges), but I can't really test it at the moment since they don't offer delivery in my country of residence now.

But if I was selling you a drop-in comment widget and boasted "it handles all of Unicode", but really I was just running s/[^ -~]+/ /g, wouldn't you feel a bit let down?
UCS-2 is dead. You can't express Unicode in UCS-2. If you have old UCS-2 data you can just treat it as UTF-16, maybe check for encoding irregularities but if it was really UCS-2 correct Unicode it'll be fine.

UTF-16 length is only useful if you are moving UTF-16, perhaps for interop with other software that chose UTF-16. Remember to pass on your condolences and look forward to a day when we don't do that any more.

In practice even parachutes are not so simple.

If I'm a passenger in an airliner with no parachute, I definitely don't want my pilot bailing out.

Also, insurance rates on aircraft with airframe parachutes are higher than for aircraft without them - because pilots often panic and pull the chute, which guarantees a hard landing and totals the aircraft, rather than attempting a landing (with, say, a 90% success rate or whatever). The same might apply to individuals: jumping out of a plane is quite dangerous and it might be "statistically" safer to stay onboard and attempt a landing.

Pilots also may take more risks if they have parachutes, known as risk compensation. Like how people drive faster if the car feels safer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_compensation

Definition 1 of prejudice in a lazy google search is "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience." Certainly that figures into most reasoning, considering that perfect information is impossible.
Throw the word "byzantine" in there too.
Sure. What we know, though, is "stop doing that" doesn't work. That's why aviation, highway safety, healthcare, tech postmortems, etc. have discovered that "please ask the human to stop doing human things" isn't the approach to take. Instead, we try to engineer away the opportunities for human error to kill people. (Quite successfully, in a lot of cases; as an example, aviation safety in the developed world is overall an incredible success story for regulators.)

People will continue to use their phones in their cars. That's a fact we have to accept.

Me, I did.
Everyone here is shitting on it, but to me it looks like it accomplished exactly what reddit wanted, and was wildly successful at doing so.

Reddit very successfully moved away from being the techy nerd basement dweller site to becoming a trendy young "normie" people site. Dumb everything down to shoot for the lowest common denominator, maximizing the size of your target demographic.

So hiring someone who probably loved instagram, facebook, pinterest, tumblr, but never used reddit (but had likely been to the site perhaps a few times before) is exactly who they wanted to redesign the site.

IIRC something like 95% of users are using the official app and/or the new website. And reddit has exploded in popularity in recent years.
I think you have your numbers wrong. Big tech is in some cases 10-20 times bigger than AT&T (market valuation). Big retail is just around double if you look at Walmart and everyone else much smaller (if you remove Amazon which I count as big tech).

I'm not quite sure it would be a benefit for the end users to have big tech also own the wireless networks.
A news aggregate site would be really cool. With news split to categories.
this would put Amazon as the provider for most people’s only 2FA. Bleh.
All existing providers are doing exactly this. AT&T even has a plan where you can pay extra (something like $30/mo) to opt out of tracking.

The issue with 1 is that it only works until you pass an array into a function by pointer, then the macro no longer works.

In my experience it's most likely that a function will write past the bounds of a buffer that's been passed as an argument. In that case, make sure the size of array is always included as an argument as you said in 4.

Yea but in this case it's not a good comparison since Prime Mobile is presumably not including a phone too. But maybe it will.
I feel similarly. Even pre-pandemic, the fact that I could often order something through Amazon and get it before I would have gotten around to driving 5 miles to the store is absolutely worth the membership and Prime Video is a nice enough bonus.

Ads are a pain on Kindle though I could admittedly spend the money to make them at least partly go away. Music I don't really care about as I get Apple on another bundle.

The rush to adopt LLMs for every kind of content production deserves scrutiny. Maybe for you it isn't "avoiding work" but there's countless anecdotes of it being used for that already.

It's not very surprising they'd be distant relatives, as a matter of odds.

Taiwan is a small place and Taiwanese Han people came from a relatively non-diverse group of immigrants (e.g. largely Hokkien). For these two to have got a good education and risen to the top like this as immigrants to the US, likelier than not they were from educated or rich families.

If you filter for Taiwanese families educated or rich during the years they were born, the scope would probably have been somewhat small and covered an even smaller range of bloodlines, possibly even all somewhat related to a handful of historical clans.

The degree of separation between people like them from a small geographical region tends to be fairly small in general.
> I propose that similar to age and gender, college name be no longer required as a criterion for job applications.

That's never going to work for specialized jobs. If you need a chemical engineer, than you need a chemical engineer.

But I think this is a very good idea for all of those jobs that just say "4 year degree required" without any specialty. Honestly, I don't understand how such postings aren't already illegal under structural discrimination.
Written by some people whose code you are getting paid to not run!

On the plus side, since it's a 300 line Python script, you can read it (which does not involve running it), figure out what it's doing, explain it to somebody else in broad terms, and get them to write some equivalent code.
I think the preferences are a bit easier to understand, and I didn't have to install an add-on for an add-on to have mouse wheel support. I'm sure there's more, but it's been a few months and I don't quite remember.

If you liked the S5 agenda, I'd appreciate any feedback you could give. (Video shows it on a Gemini, but I also run it on my Linux Laptop. Running on Windows is probably possible, but I haven't tried it, so you'd need to do some fiddling - in particular installing GTK3).

The last I was on reddit, I was moderating a small subreddit. I had to maintain a regular expression for all the various ways people would write slurs so the poor-quality automated tool would remove comments. There wasn't anything at the administrator level that would remove that or any of the people when they are writing it to be racist.

There was a bot you could use to check a user's comment history for hard-Rs. Useful for trying to determine if someone is unintentionally ignorant and might be open to an explanation, or deliberately ignorant and putting on a temporary facade to waste everyone's time and energy. That tool is something that did get banned, for reasons.
Credible, from which facts are known. Still unbelievable because it plays into my suspicions too perfectly.

There exists this entire class of business theory now based on the principle of hatred towards the users.

This has been done for a very long time. Blockchains are definitely not required (this isn't just the usual hate from HN of Blockchain, it just actually doesn't make sense here).
Fingerprinting by shingling (windows of text) with some normalization steps is pretty typical in plagiarism or similarity detection. A big database of docid-shingleid pairs along with weights for their frequency is often a very simple and fast way to do this analysis.
The big part is getting OpenAI/anthropic/etc to do it on their data and provide a service for that, but there's obviously a lot of unwanted consequences - specifically storing of all user data (even if the shingled and docids are hashes, it's still info).
the kingsmen movies are... such an uncommon niche. It's got aggressively american populist plots, but its written in a classic hollywood style that glosses over in a way that people don't seem to notice that it's so unusual. People remember the action scenes. They don't remember the main plot points about the elites and the government actively conspiring to kill off the poor as a popular class-wide mentality.

the advertisements do this too. They're very much just showing the cool action scenes. very strange.
Well AMD really needs to work on its software stack to support AI.

Casey Muratori (of Handmade Hero fame, works/worked at RAD Game Tools for a long time) just did that as part 1 of his Performance Aware Programming series he’s doing on his Substack: https://www.computerenhance.com/

The “homeworks” only require implementing basic data transfer, arithmetic, and logic instructions, but I enjoyed it so I implemented everything except the interrupt handler stuff (into, etc.), and the BCD stuff (aaa, etc.).

I agree that it’s a good way to learn, and Casey provides a reference implementation.

Amazon is not going to go out and build towers. They are going to license capacity from one of the three remaining infrastructure-providing carriers left (probably AT&T).
