The reasoning for not giving you feedback is:

"Why should we give you feedback and basically prep and improve you for your next interview at a different company?" If you are given feedback, the company is basically doing the prep work for the next company at their own expense. There is no ROI in giving you feedback if you did not make it.

It's harsh, but true.

The crux of this really is about whether the ambulance is violating the rule "no fahrzeug in the park".

Personally, I feel it's unamigious that the ambulance is violating the rule as written. Whether it should be granted an exception to the rule is a different question. Such is the difficulties of content moderation.

It's also apparent to me how a rule enforcer sufficiently distant from the scenarios would declare that the space station violates the "no vehicles in the park" rule, no matter how ridiculous that sounds.
Reminds me of my hp48 calc, which original system was often .. sluggish, but with enough input buffer and predictability (stack + RPL) meant that it was actually beneficial since it forced you to learn things by heart and anticipate more, and the pauses would serve as thinking time for your brain. A rare kind of slow and laggy turning out to be fun.

Also impressive how our brain is sensitive to all of this.. no matter how impressive a current OS / web browser / jitted js is.. I dearly miss the past eras "behavior".
Wonderful presentation. What's not clear to me is what the percentage at the end of the game represents?
Another European here who is forced to mute the SpaceX streams because of a heavy feeling of cringe on behalf of the on-screen people.

But on the pro side: SpaceX was the pioneer with on-screen graphics, including the dynamic timeline displaying, where we are in the flight. I deeply appreciate that, not just for making it easier to mute the lunatics and the clapping. It’s good information design.

You always had to calculate transit time and I got a little too good at feinting right and attacking left and I might have taken all of the fun out of it for the other people. They'd reinforce the wrong planet and I'd swarm another border while their ships were in transit.

That'll be the time when computers have developed sentience and an understanding of the outside world. Driving is a cooperative effort, it requires intelligence, and a theory of mind.

A few years ago there was that video where a Tesla kept slowing down because it identified the Moon as a yellow traffic light, and there was this other occasion where it drove behind a truck that had loaded traffic lights and kept identifying those. That would need to stop first.
Well, it seems, we're in the midst of a communication breakdown. We've lost all hope of speaking with the whales.
Count the number of times you have used the words “most”, “almost”, “only disagreements…” etc. in your two paragraphs, despite the fact that all of them were relatively simple scenarios like you said. That is the point of the exercise. Yes people mostly agreed on most things, but they did not absolutely agree on everything. And those 20-30% of people arguing about 20-30% of edge cases is where all the disagreements and flame wars and toxicity comes from.
Many people use Facebook as their entire portal to the web. I'm sure enough people use Google News for them not to shut it down. I can imagine people clicking the news tab on Google search and I can also imagine some people using it as an unobtrustive but informative homepage, and that others may enjoy having news collected from different sources in one place (who aren't regular users of other social media).
Aren’t they pretty much everywhere? Or, do you mean, don’t use the Oceans at all?
That seems to make sense. I live in a very remote location and e.g. Amazon often restricts what can be shipped here.
Strictly speaking, I think calling for the death penalty is advocating for a legal ruling. The violence following such a ruling is a second-order consequence.
Yeah, it comes down to cost benefit. Different situations require different qc strategies. But the fact that something is not 100% effective is not. Good argument against it.

Foregoing perfectionism, elitism, and fashion in favor of code that Just Works. Functional is nice, concurrent is a nice, sometimes necessary transformation, "compression-oriented" sounds cringe and complicated-pilled (but I'm sure it's nice). But I'm not here for nice things, I'm here for profitable things, and profitable things need to Just Work. They don't need to be functional, or algorithmically perfect, or nerdically sound.

Procedural is fine and simple and it works. You can refactor later if you have the time and money.

Really recommend this, it's very useful to us at work for capturing email from local dev environments for email testing - we run it as part of our dockerised dev setup. Means we don't have to worry about ever accidentally hitting real mail systems, while still letting us actually exercise our email sending code.

Also makes it very easy to see rendered HTML, HTML source, the text/plain part of a mailer, etc.

The lesson here is one worth learning, but the vehicle (forgive the pun) is very poor. The lesson is: we can't agree on what to moderate and what not to moderate. There are very good thought experiments here, including citing actual prose. Should we ban parts of the Bible (the sexually explicit ones, or the ones that seem to approve of slavery?), should we ban books like Lolita or the Scarlet Letter? Should we allow Neo-Nazis to protest? What about Stalinists?

These are questions worth asking and answers worth hearing, but the problem with the question here is that the rule "no vehicles in the park" already comes with a lot of baggage. For example, it's obvious that the rule is meant to prevent driving engine-propulsion vehicles through a park (a rule that we've seen many times in our own parks), so naturally police cars and ambulances will (or should) be exempt, especially if trying to save a life. Otherwise the corollary would be that saving a life is less important than the rule "no vehicles in the park." Which most would very obviously disagree with.

I like the idea of the website, but there's probably a better way to convey the complexities of rule-making and rule-following in the context of both our own moral (or religious, or ethical, etc.) frameworks and the social environment at large.
I’d rather do neither. That’s the main reason I have never done in person or take home coding tests in the 20+ years I’ve been conducting interviews. So far we haven’t hired a dud.
It specifically notes that some jurisdictions might have exceptions to this sort of rule, but that in this case there isn’t one.

Caveat: Unsubstantiated statements follow. There would be some EMF around the wires. While 60 Hz is probably less detrimental, the harmonics (of higher frequencies) are. The effects are subtle and possibly not obvious for healthy people, but can make a difference with autoimmune issues.
Let's take the third definition. Do the roller skates count? The wheelchair? The rowboat?
I actually disagree. I assume every law is subject to "at the discretion of the DA/judge" (or whoever is in charge). Do you think everyone needs to account for every emergency circumstance possible in every law? In real life, there's the law and then there are mitigating circumstances.

(A few years ago I could have said "we don't get ticketed by an AI that only follows the rules it was given." Well, we do now in many places and that's a problem.)

Some hardware and software instruments can easily switch from modern A440 to A400 or any desired A frequency, and from equal temperament to various other temperaments - even dynamic tuning. They are really fun to play, particularly the dynamic tunings where you can get highly in-tune chords and scales in any key. Vocal ensembles can also dynamically adjust their tuning, producing amazing overtones. I imagine string and brass ensembles can as well.

Some (non equal-tempered) keyboard instruments have split sharp/flat keys so you can play more in tune in certain keys/scales.

Being able to distinguish these all of these tunings accurately and switch between them as needed seems like it would be a nice skill to have.
It's a workhorse. It operates at a decent resolution/FPS, as security cameras go, it can handle pretty much any weather conditions, and Axis will stand by it if it breaks.

It also, relevantly for this thread, will do standard video transmission w/o any cloud/app components.

Most camera you get that are cheaper are trading off in one or more of these areas to recoup cost.
The spirit is that governement is an extension of "the people" and as such this violence is an extension of their own - i.e. in a healthy society the violence perpetrated bt the state is fully known and sanctionned by its citizens.

Like having prisons or letting police use lethal force on dangerous people, some things fit this description - but at some point lines have to be drawn and the leashes have to be reigned in if the violence is not agreed upon anymore - institutionalised racism and the likes.

Posting “racial epithets” is banned on social networks but if I post a video of a politician saying a racial epithet to raise awareness. Does that violate the rule? We aren’t debating whether or not it was a racial epithet.

Except for when they do.
This past spring break we drove through a lot of the back country of Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. There is an unbelievable amount of flat desert land that would be perfect for solar. We drove at highway speeds for hours without seeing anyone or anything else.
This will become really scary if they start attacking sailboats in the open ocean. While you're close to land you can always call for help. Imagine being in the middle of nowhere and they destroy your rudders so you have no way of changing direction. Even worse at some cases they have attacked the hull.
My stance is you can't teach an understanding without invoking memorization. That's my entire point.
That seems like good analogy to content moderation. You have to ask "is the forbidden content actually on the site?"

For example you can have a rule like "no sharing pornographic content", but then are people allowed to share links to forbidden content? Links to sites that are 100% links to forbidden content? Links to sites that have one link to forbidden content among a lot of other links? Links to sites that have one extremely prominent link to forbidden content among a lot of other links? How prominent? Etc etc etc.
> the rules have been well tested and made to be unambiguous!

They're often ambiguous though. Lime bikes and motorized skateboards have been a recent edge conditions in vehicle laws that have needed to be specifically addressed.

But, yes, normally laws will actually define their terms.

Since the "legislature" in this example did a really lousy job of definitions, I only counted the one car as violating the rules.
Maybe I'm just naive, but I've got 5 of them mounted externally. They're attached to in-wall rated CAT6 cable, but otherwise aren't grounded or surge protected. None of them are above 60% of the height of the walls they're mounted on, but even if I mounted them higher I'm not too worried.
Rendering to static HTML is actually pretty common. Admittedly, hydrating subtrees is fairly uncommon (at least where the full tree is also rendered by React server-side), but it’s well within the “happy path” and both patterns have been heavily promoted by React from very early on.

What’s not within the “happy path” is automating any sort of partial hydration process, which is unfortunate, but it seems pretty likely RSC is going to subsume that use case for most anyone trying to solve it with React.
So that includes wheelchair?
> This metaphor doesn't map cleanly to when rules are less specific or laid out - because in this situation, the rules have been well tested and made to be unambiguous!

I disagree, lawyers would have no work then. Laws are not as specific as you would think they are and it is to provide a diverse gamut of powers and broad discretion in their application.

For example, the first amendment does not offer an unlimited right to say what you want, when you want, and however you want. At what point does said speech become prohibited hate speech, inciting violence, verbal assault, defamation etc...?

There is plenty evidence of people exercising free speech such as wearing cuss words on shirts and their speech being stifled by police through intimidation and arrests. Most famously Cohen v California and for example more recently Wood v Eubanks (25 F. 4th 414 - Court of Appeals, 6th Circuit 2022) with very similar facts to Cohen v California.

Here is another one "Battery is an unlawful application of force directly or indirectly upon another person or their personal belongings, causing bodily injury or offensive contact." I go onto the bus and my shoulder hits the shoulder of another passenger. I did not have consent to touch them and they are upset by the contact / found it offensive. Am I guilty of battery?

In the test "No vehicle sin the park" there is no ambiguity that an ambulance is a vehicle, but clearly 1/3 of people don't think it breaks the rule, presumably largely because it's for an emergency purpose despite the rule not having an exemption for such a scenario. Neither would a rule that says "no hate speech". What is hate speech? Would speech stating "I hate..." Nazi's or a genocidal leader or regime be hate speech? So what are the exemptions, what are the discretions? How do we define things?

What about support for LGTBQIA+? Some countries only recently have become more amenable to these groups, but plenty of jurisdictions and cultures are still very much opposed to them. Is homophobia hate speech? What is transphobic speech? Is stating there are only two genders transphobic?

The same could be said about support for Ukraine which is positive in the Western world but would be illegal in Russia. But then, what about Taiwan and it's disputed status with respect to China? What about other contested borders and lands?

The fact that even when there is no ambiguity people don't entirely agree whether a simple rule is broken is entirely the point of the exercise. And now, you expect platforms and countries to exercise those rules and laws when evidently people can't even agree on a simple rule.
This exercise is not about a court of law but any random online forum, for example the kind we are on right now. If you look up the HN participation guidelines you will find they are exactly as vague as the rule in the exercise and open to endless interpretation.
Which would be an actual appropriate application for carbon composite...
Did you even watch the interviews? Cameron pointed out that the safety record for these kind of craft is perfect until today, that these subs are a known quanity, that he and others warned OceanGate against using carbon fiber because it's a laminate that delaminates and fails catastrophically with no warning, and that Cameron knew of the implosion the day it happened. All quite newsworthy.

Via going by skateboard, a transportation happens. Whether you do it recreationally or not does not have anything to do with whether a skateboard is a mode of transportation (or not).
I used a dictionary to define vehicle. The definition does not match yours.
I mean I agree with you on this, but the idea that you can gauge a person's skillset through conversation (gasp!) and talking about your craft and details about past projects, etc seems to be totally lost on people today.

I just spent a couple of days on one, albeit longer than it could have been because I getting back into the language and ecosystem after an absence.

No feedback at all, or even any aknowledgement that they'd looked at it, until a couple of weeks later with a request for a tech inteview.

I just refuse to do others, sorry. If they want a hands-on test, they can pay me to fix a ticket, or even just pay me to do a test project. It's a small sum for them - for me it's multiple hours, over multiple interviews, all for free, it's basically a full-time unpaid job, just BS.
I agree. I'll give you like a 4-to-1 ratio on a takehome assessment, give me a 30 minute phone call with my potential manager or fellow programmer and let me ask some questions and get a feel for the company and culture, then I'll spend a couple hours on your assessment. If not, well, same rate applies, I'll spend 4x0 hours on your assessment.

A nice way to say this is, "I'd be happy to complete this takehome assessment, but it will take a significant amount of time and first I would like a short phone call to ask some questions and get a feel for the company, nothing too long, I just want to make sure we're all on the same page before I spend my time on this. When can we schedule a call?"
Svelte is more like a compiler than a library. The code you ship is plain JavaScript without any svelte dependency. That’s why svelte has always been simple and fast.
I think what's being noted is slightly more nuanced than what you're responding to. The analogy is slightly flawed because a few additional indicators remove a lot of the ambiguity, which is possibly not the case at all with moderation, which is often about far more nebulous things. In that way, the comparison is flawed.

Asa an example, I'm seeing most people (based on people saying they match the majority at 11%, but there's some indication that may be broken) that chose to go with the common understanding of what the sign meant (as opposed to some literal definition they decided to follow) seemed to have an inherent idea of how we might better define "vehicle" to match those expectations (such as whether the conveyance provides power itself or whether it requires power from a person, or whether it houses a person, or whether it is assisting normal motion in some manner).

Also, without further analysis of the data it's hard to tell whether removing or redefining slightly a few questions might bring a core consensus far above 11%. And even if we can get this specific question to a good consensus, there's no real proof that it indicates that content moderation could similarly come to a consensus on specific concepts (I doubt it could for many important things).

In those ways, this is a clever and interesting experiment to take part in, but I'm not sure how much it really says about content moderation, as I think (as perhaps the GP thinks) it was made slightly too simplistic in an effort to be approachable, and in that case lost some of the aspects it was trying to convey.

Doctor Droid (YC W23) Is Hiring Back End Engineer (7 Years Exp)
Fascinating.

Later in the piece, they discuss how we can use music to aid Alzheimer's, but I consider this to be along the similar lines of the original use of eyeglasses.

But we need to break past the idea that sound therapy is something we consciously hear, and that we are responding to the musical attributes of sound.

My company is called SoundMind (soundmind.co), and we use auditory stimulation to increase the efficiency of deep sleep.

I'm often asked "what does it sound like?", and I've come to like the saying "when a doctor gives you a pill, do you ask what it tastes like?"

When we get an "ultrasound", we know we can't hear the frequency, so we don't think about the actual sound, but for treatments where active sound is involved, we assume it's the sound itself that is doing the work, as if in taking a pill, it is the pill that heals you, rather than the pill triggering a response, which triggers 10 other responses, on and on.

An aspirin does not reduce inflammation, it inhibits an enzyme which produces a hormone like messenger molecule, which ....

The way we use sound to improve sleep (as much as scientists currently understand) is that during deep sleep the neurons in your brain fire synchronously, if we interrupt the brain 30 degrees from the peak of this synchronous firing, your brain responds by increasing the synchronous firing of neurons, to protect that function of sleep.

So in our example, like the aspirin, yes sound is the delivery mechanism. It will be fascinating to see other methods we can use sound to interact with our biology/physiology.
> You just can't do this on a keyboard instrument

It's calling for the state to kill someone. Doesn't seem any less an advocation of violence than advocating for a vigilante killing or advocating for some specific person to do the killing.
So, because people are doing it we can't have laws that say it's not desired ?
