Yep. It is now my policy to not do any take home interviews. You should do the same. They don’t respect your time.
As slow to execute as ever. Salt was the better future.
Jeff is both an open-source contributor, as well as a fairly popular YouTuber[1]. His more popular repositories are more beginner friendly and not supporting RHEL means that it's unlikely that new users may end up choosing it as their Distro-of-choice.

Honking your horn and getting the person to pull away is pretty fast. By comparison it takes several minutes to get through to 911 where I live. Not to mention most humans would know better than to park in front of a fire department driveway or drive through caution tape.
Hmm a good few of their examples look like they have much better contrast than modern grey on grey stuff.

Didn't click on them to be horrified by beeps and animations if there are any, but some are pretty readable.
There's a fantastic subreddit for old/obscure/oddball media that is on the verge of being lost to time. You never know what you'll find there, but its always fun and tends to lead to infinite scrolls. [1]

I hate plugging Reddit right now, but there's a reason we like(d) going there.

Well, it's a tradeoff, RLHF also makes ChatGPT better at some tasks like instruction following. "lobotomising" makes it sound like there are only downsides
This is honestly the worst part of it to me. It happens quite a lot!
I think this is a good point, but here’s a follow up question: is the zoonotic theory incompatible with this list of patient zeros?

It would be a somewhat odd coincidence for virus researchers to be the people infected at the market. But… it seems not completely unlikely that there could be other people infected who didn’t have serious symptoms. Without China sharing all available data it’s going to be impossible to be sure one way or another.
TipTap is built on ProseMirror. Basic elements of the editor are made in TipTap, while for more advanced use (tables, menus, integrating code editor) I had to tap into ProseMirror.

I'm not really familiar with Milkdown so I can't say.

Geoff Hinton explains deep learning to a non technical audience
I was talking about Chromium starting in a second or less. That's the open version of Google Chrome. It's a big application by any reasonable standard, and not something you start often either.
Thanks for the link. It doesn't have much details. I have signed up though. Looking forward for getting more details about the solutions.
Anything that questions the maxim of eternal growth is a fallacy according to mainstream Economics.
Among other things, Hinton is such a good lecturer, too. It's amazing to me how he can give you a sense of completely understanding how something as complex at neural nets work.
Have you ever FIRED someone?
Working on a project focused on hilarious stories of why you fired someone! Looking for stories (ideally from tech founders) that make you go "what the heck?!". This project is all in good fun and meant to be lighthearted.

I'm a terrible writer so I'm hoping chat GPT will allow me to write better emails to support my teams.

I could also see use cases to write better reviews. I've experimented with adding my 1:1 notes and coming up with a yearlong summary. The result was really great and neatly summarized a person's accomplishments.

One interesting strategy was to ask chat gpt to summarize a communication in a few ways like. I'm skeptical of this person's ideas, what other alternatives to this thought could be? Can you give me other perspectives? The results were interesting and helpful.
The submission title is misleading. This is an opinion of an Advocate General, not a decision of the court.

> The Advocate General’s Opinion is not binding on the Court of Justice. It is the role of the Advocates General
to propose to the Court, in complete independence, a legal solution to the cases for which they are responsible. The Judges of the Court are now beginning their deliberations in this case. Judgment will be given at a later date.
>The Quest headsets have sold 20 million units.

For comparison to another gaming device, that's more than the Xbox Series X and Series S (which both came out around the same time) combined, and over half of the PS5 sales numbers. These are well-established products with loyal fanbases.
Whether or not that is true in this particular case, it is indefensible that the most consequential spending (PUBLIC funds for MILITARY & MEDICAL supplies) can't be properly itemized.

As another top comment describes, they can afford 9 months to fix a minor bug in military software but they can't afford spending a little more time with proper itemization? I don't buy it.
> For all of my open source projects, effective immediately, I am no longer going to maintain 'official' support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

> I will still support users of CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, and Alma Linux, as I am able to test against those targets.

Open Source projects cannot afford to support (post-IBM-acquisition) RedHat RHEL license terms. How does that change developers' (coders, actual merge maintainers) and maybe also influencers' valuation of an acquired Linux distribution (with a new Stream model)?
Maybe not a _cornerstone_ per se, but Jeff's active in a number arenas (Ansible, Docker, general programming, ...) and has gained a level of name recognition. I think he's taking a reasonable stand here and contributing whatever weight his reputation carries to the discussion.
Hiring managers should realize that only the most desperate candidates will agree to do take home assessments, or even apply to companies with such a process.
How is the legality of residential chicken breeding relevant to this discussion on the environmental impact of lab-grown meat?
Whatever your favorite is, but I’d probably reach for cherry.
Meat price ranges have a relatively hard cap. The rule of thumb for free ranging chickens is about 50 per acre, and they're really easy to train to return to a coop at night, and many breeds are ready to harvest in as little as 6 weeks. So prices can only get so high before somebody starts to see some opportunity there.
I'm pretty sure Google does it to set all the appropriate cookies on the right domains. Microsoft probably has similar redirect flows.

You can either do the redirects all at once on login or do them once you use the service first. Since login is already a time-consuming process (username, next, password, next, 2FA, next) I think you may as well take a second to add the redirects and be done with it.

It doesn't make much sense for Google work accounts but it makes sense if those are a minority on the platform. They could definitely patch this out, but then again the login process is something that takes a second extra every month or so, so who really cares.

What does bother me is how every service wants you to enter your username and password separately now. Autofill gets confused and sometimes even stops working because the stupid hidden input fields for the password don't get shown until you click the magical "next" button, just in case you need a special third party auth service.

Either decide that work accounts are important and take out the extra YouTube redirect, or decide they aren't important and let me fill in my username and password on a single form. Both make complete sense individually but combined they're just a massive waste of time.
I am not sure if this is really a problem. What ratio of Android CVEs relate to this? Is the number higher or lower on ios which has much more limited hardware targets?

Furthermore, is it really practical to do things differently and still maintain a good time-to-market??
> Scroll scroll scroll and...

The new result (with explicit link to the arXiv as well as the author's home page) is linked in the fourth paragraph, and it only appears that far down because the first three paragraphs very efficiently provide background on the problem and recent results. The whole thing is an excellent general-audiences article explaining a complex theoretical result with illustrations and accessible links to all the relevant source material. I'm really glad we have Quanta and I'm not sure how this reporting could have been handled better.
Fortunately for employers, there's no shortage of applicants willing to take these insults. This is unfortunate for applicants who respect themselves, their own time.
That's not a wind or sun problem, that's a battery and transmission problem.

There's an experiment in here where Theodore Gray "burns" iron:

Some of that bloat is useful. Windows indexes files in the background, which would choke a single-core machine with HDD for sure. Thanks to that I can quickly access my files... well, so long as Windows is able to find the correct thing...
The KJV I assume?

I'm coming to appreciate the bible and its evolution. My latest appeciation? The KJV's translation biases (I don't want to say 'errors') makes me want to look at the Torah, which also has it's own evolution (or lack there of).

Any interest in apocrypha?
There's just huge variation in how people use and treat their stuff. The only cables I have ever had fail are: 1) Cat 5 cables that I made myself when I first started making them and was bad at it, 2) a cable on headphones that I tried to yank while the cable was stuck in a chair caster, and 3) an old Apple Lightning cable that lived in my backpack and failed after something like 300 miles of backcountry trekking.

These are all reasonable failure cases in my opinion: 1) incompetently homemade cables, 2) an individual traumatic incident, and 3) extended use in harsh outdoor conditions. Apart from that, I've never had any cables fail, even the notoriously frail Apple cables.
FWIW I do not believe there are lessons to be learned. All of the mistakes are already well known in their community of deep ocean explorers. Several of his peers tactfully for the most part explained on the news that he took many risks, broke many rules, avoided well known standards and took many dangerous short-cuts. He is on record saying nearly as much. The rest of that community already follow best practices and have well understood standards they follow and always put safety first.

This interview [1] was probably the most respectful I have seen thus far.

On the other hand, there are certain kinds of lawyer with low-research clients who won't suffer much from this, and these lawyers are likely that kind (representing a client suing Avianca for a drinks cart complaint).
I have my own mystery song, but a much more recent one, one of the songs that was playing at Google I/O. The soundtrack for the weekend was largely popular stuff from groups like CHVRCHES, but this one I could never identify using every technique I could think of. I put a minute-long clip of it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48gK7Krx0TQ if anyone here happens to be able to figure out its origin these days.
Sodium would be a much better proposition. With NaOH, you can create a closed cycle. The electrolysis of NaOH is the well known Castner process, a consumable metal anode fuel cell with sodium is also well known (expired Patent: US3730776A by Lockheed) More details and overlap with other approaches: https://orgpad.com/s/5BfLP-cxj-7

Sodium has higher energy density (3.5 kWh/L) than liquid hydrogen, there is no energy needed to store it and no catalyst is needed for the fuel cell because sodium is so reactive with water. The fuel cell is rather easy to construct (I know somebody, who has done it in a garage).
NaOH solution is very caustic but also neutralizes well naturally without long term effects at least in comparison to crude oil that seems to be the better proposition. And of course sodium is everywhere, where NaCl - table salt is.

Ask HN: What's a good Linux OS and setup to build a dev “network” on my laptop?
I have a new lightweight laptop with 16 GB of RAM, decent SSD space, and an i7 CPU.

And I would like to setup a few systems on it, to have "everything" with me as I move around while disconnected.

I'm looking for recommendations and ideas into how to set this up.

Examples of these systems would be:

a) A headless server with a dev stack: runs a build workflow, a web server, etc.

b) A stable "production" version of server (a)

c) A "desktop" dev environment: IDE, language/tools-rich

d) A "basics" desktop environment for non-tech work: office tools, maybe some media editing (even blender 3d if feeling lucky)

They won't all be running simultaneously.

I haven't worked on the OS systems and platforms level since a past life. I don't know much about virtualization/containers/etc, but I'm good with networking fundamentals, and I'm willing to learn any old/new tech.

Ideally:

1. The host OS is minimal (i.e. can only keep the core packages I need), and driver-friendly so the core hardware (compute/graphics) is efficiently accessible to each guest OS.

2. I can network the different "machines" together; so the dev desktop can use the dev server's API, and the basics desktop accesses the apps on the production server in its browser.

3. I can pull data from each system out into the host OS for data backups.

4. I can restrict network/internet access from/to any of those systems, from the host OS.

5. All systems are open-source, can work completely disconnected and do not phone home in order to function.

Thankful for any experience you can share.
As someone else already mentioned, there's a Darknet Diaries episode about it. There's also a Wired [0] piece about it from Andy Greenberg who also adopted it into his (in my opinion) excellent book Sandworm: about how the Kremlin slowly got more and more dangerous in terms of cyber warfare capabilities.

This is exactly what is happening. People have been arguing for controlled burns for decades, and they're finally making headway now that that they have a relatively bulletproof argument: these fires are a newer development since humans settled this land, the original settlers had a tested and proven method for dealing with them, so let's go back to doing that.
Hell, Microsoft managed to “login loop” me multiple times on Firefox, where it ended up infinite redirects until some limit (browser?) were hit.
> It baffled me when I first actually examined a laptop that used USB-C natively to discover that its power adapter didn’t use a removable USB-C cable. I’d just assumed implicitly that they would, because obviously you would do it that way since the cables are so frail and always fail long before the brick, and lots of people would like to be able to use a different-length cable.

They don't want to have to deal with customer support cases from people who tried to charge their laptop over a $5 cable from amazon.

The News Is Out: Obi Ezeadi Announces 2024 Senate Run
"I'm thrilled to declare my candidacy for the State Senate! As Sen. Rachel Zenzinger terms out in 2024, I am compelled with a sense of urgency to continue to safeguard our democracy and secure a bright future for my daughter - and every child. My vision is to design our district to be the ideal place to raise a child, start a business, and retire with dignity. We’ll do that with a unifying message and a broad coalition focused on improving education and addressing affordability crises across housing, childcare, healthcare, energy bills, and more.

I am so honored to have earned the endorsement of numerous elected officials across State Legislature, Jefferson County, and municipalities across the state. Some include Senate President Pro Tem James Coleman, Majority Caucus Co-Chair Brianna Titone, Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr, and State Senators Jessie Danielson, Lisa Cutter, Janet Buckner, Faith Winter, School Board members, State Board of Education Members, and many more.

I am a first-generation American with lived experience overcoming the struggles of a broken system that leaves too many behind. My campaign will champion the economic freedom for families, seniors, and local businesses to thrive with opportunity; your democratic freedom to speak out and ensure your voice and vote matter; and your personal freedom to read, learn, and love on your own terms.

I bring decades of community service, non-profit leadership, entrepreneurship, and business experience working across healthcare, transportation, technology, and hospitality industries. And I will be ready to hit the ground running on Day 1 due to policymaking experience gained as a Westminster City Councilor, and as an intern for the current State Senator, Rachel Zenzinger, at the Joint Budget Committee this past legislative session.

For my Westminster constituents, rest assured that I am embarking on this journey for you. I will be able to deliver you solutions for the pocketbook issues that I know burden you, and I will remain on my council - fully dedicated to you - as this Senate election is for November 2024. While my time on the council has been rewarding, the challenges our state confronts require the broad, determined vision I can bring as a senator. Service to the community is a journey, not bound by timelines, but by the urgency of the needs we face. I'm seeking a larger platform to deliver impactful solutions for all Coloradans. My top priority this summer will be supporting the election of Amber Hott, Claire Carmelia, and Tim Peggto our Westminster City Council.

I invite you to join me and reach out to me. I'm here to listen and make your voices heard. Help us make history in SD19 - please chip in $19 and be a part of sending me to the Senate as the district’s first Black Senator.

Yours in service and hope,

Obi Ezeadi, City Councilor and State Senate Candidate (SD19, Arvada & Westminster)"
(TW: Suicidal ideation)

I fight with ADHD and depression and am in a relationship that’s at best moderately containing some … issues. But things are improving.

Sometimes when I was younger (am mid 40’s now), I would fight such depression I would not want to wake up.

After my first wife died when I was 31, I turned to “TheraFlu” to sleep. I’d make a hot toddy with it and honey and whiskey.

It never helped. But I developed this “fight the dph” ability to not sleep.

So eventually if I wanted to sleep, it was 2-3 dph pills and melatonin. And then a sleep routine.

When I’d get depressed I would think of taking more. The most I ever took was 3-4 pills. It made me anxious. Itchy. Kicky in my sleepy.

I could never bring myself to take more.

Now it’s exercise. Hydration. Therapy. Real sleep, with my cpap…

It scares me how people experiment like that and I wish we knew more about the benefits of minor prescribed “trips”.

Use Windows or Linux. Good luck and have fun!
Python has nothing at all like safe interpreters (I've looked). You just can't prevent things from leaking, it isn't designed for it at all. You can do a half-hearted approach by specifying the globals dictionary to eval(), but you can't really count on safety because the builtins do the leaking and you can't really stop anyone from finding a way to get back to that; the language is just too deeply interlinked for a proper security boundary to be erected anywhere inside it.
The crucial part is that it is a trash can for a Boeing 707. The first one flew in 1954, and the last one rolled out of the factory in 1994.

So they are either paying for someone to keep it in a warehouse for at least thirty years, paying to keep a trashcan factory around for seventy years, or paying someone to essentially reinvent the wheel and hand-build the damn thing. One-off items are expensive, and one-off aviation items doubly so.
What are those specific techniques?
Controlled burns are being done already by the government. The government owns most of the forested land.

This is about a major expansion of the concept, and includes (1) an insurance scheme so that private landowners can do a burn without fear of bankruptcy and (2) restoring cultural burns that Indians performed to manage land before they were banned by people who didn't understand them.
Everyone who eats meat, but who don't consider it part of their identity. People care about taste and price. If lab meat is just as tasty and cheaper than farm meat, regular people are going to pick the cheaper alternative, save some massive scare campaign. "Meat eaters," as you call them, generally don't consider themselves as such.
Can't you just make pulsating/spinning magnet to capture it?
There's still no replacement for the specific thing Flash did. I get that Flash itself sucked (the power use...) but it's really damn sad we simply lost what it could do. I'd have thought we'd have a replacement by now, but no.

Incidentally, last I checked, no replacement for the marquee tag, either. That tag had a lot of features, in fact, and when I looked a couple years back there seemed to be zero projects that could actually replace it completely. A bunch of things that used to be very easy to accomplish, using that tag, now aren't. (now, maybe none of those things should ever be done, I suppose, so perhaps it doesn't matter)

The “hey guys” thing is always some friend-of-a-friend who says it happened. I’m sure there are receipts for it happening somewhere, but it sounds like it’s uncommon.

The CoC is mainly used to eject serial harassers out of a community, as far as I can tell. Serial harassers generally try to skirt the rules and hide their behavior, so the CoC has that “violations of this code outside these spaces” clause in it. You know, somebody making sexual remarks to other community members at a bar after a conference, or worse.

I have seen a lot of projects push to use inclusive language along the lines of whitelist/blacklist -> allowlist/denylist, or master/slave -> leader/follower. I’ve seen the CoC used to justify the changes, but nobody’s getting ejected from the community for refusing to use the terms.

(Please don’t interpret universal quantifiers mathematically.)
