The timing is interesting, but it's kind of impressive that Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, etc. have lasted as long as they have without going the way of everything that preceded them.

then how do they have confidence that anything works before they subject hundreds of millions of people around the world to system updates? that seems disrespectful to the user, if you asked me.
That's surprising to me, there was a Mozilla post a few years ago saying js to wasm allows 100 million calls per second for the slowest category, which seems speedy enough?

Only if it was displayed. A shitton of reviews never show.
I think many/most people use slashes more often than they use asterisks, however.
Can you provide a video walk through, or add screenshots of what the generated course material or pages looks like?

Providing users with context regarding what the application is or how it functions can lead to better engagement.

I myself am curious, but i don't want to sign up for email if i don't even have a good idea of what the product is.
My experience having a child is that it made me more ambitious, not less. And not for the child's sake, necessarily
Language Is a Poor Heuristic for Intelligence
Based solely on my linkedin inbox, that's not currently true. A year ago I would get ~10-12 recruiters pitching me jobs a month. For the last three months that's down to exactly 1 each month.
"But the code is self-documenting!"
It's a bogus program entirely. Very reminiscent of chattel slavery. It needs to be abolished altogether, but with the amount of dysfunction/lobbying in the government, it won't happen.
It sounds disgusting
And yet many employers refuse to do that work and will just pass on candidates that need an H1B transfer.
What typos or formatting issues did you notice, that should maybe be fixed?

* Footnotes would ideally have backlinks, for those who read them all at once.

* "ballon bursting"
Does anyone have a TLDR of this? My attention span isn't what it used to be.
If they quit their H1-B gets revoked.
Worst is when they insult you by changing a legitimate name like "Polo" to the glaringly knock-off name "Pölo" after the fact, to manipulate users (this happened to me) into blame themselves for falling for such a blatant typo. Like i had to stoy using them entirely, n if they make huge piles of money, like at least they don't make that n a tiny additional amount from me. Like in many ways not crappy but very hit n miss, like too problematic.
It’s weird that you can change a product after it’s been sold, and especially after it’s received reviews. The only reason I can think of is to keep your reviews.

Regardless, simply version the product on change and only show reviews for the current version would do the trick.
ah, i gotcha
Well, to be fair the the Ukrainians, they're flying old old Flankers and Fulcrums. Compared to Su-35 etc, it's no contest.

I think that the USAF will have its hands full overcoming Russia's A2AD environment, assuming it's set up and competently managed. The range on S300/S400 makes it hard to use anything other than Tomahawks and stealth aircraft to target. It definitely won't be like Baghdad during DS.
I revisit my favorite recipes and while each experiment isn't always better over a long enough time span they do seem to taste better
What behaviors or socially impacting outcomes do you see from current standards and lack of regulation?

What makes pornography different from corn syrup is that over indulgence in corn syrup leads to fewer suitable recruits for our military and over indulgence in porn leads to fewer rapes.

Jesus, if he saw our culture, would be burning corn fields and flipping tables at fast food restaurants.

Pornography wouldn't even make his top 10.

Why do we need to regulate it?

Forced? You know slavery was abolished a long time ago no?

> When you cut out all that fat, you can fit a lot more muscle in its place. Then you can arrange everything on a rack scale for airflow, power, redundancy, etc.

This is not really true. Data center servers are highly optimized for density already. Like tens of thousands of hours on airflow CFD, tweaking cases and fans and internal layout, heatsink design, etc. chasing the 0.1%s. There are many significant tradeoffs to be made, but there is not a large factor improvement just sitting on the shelf due to a bunch of unused legacy leftovers.
We're also in the middle of a downturn, with many companies laying off tens of thousands of employees.
These fraudsters have led to a completely broken H-1 system (Congress shares the blame though).

1 - I was on the board of a foreign-language school. We used to bring teachers over on H-1 visas: recruit them in April/May because that's when teachers look for work, have them start in August. But now it's impossible as the allocation is consumed long before the teachers are available.

2 - My son's gf was educated in the US (BS + MS). She is able to work for a while (you get a year or two of work allowed on the F) but then didn't win the H-1 lottery. So they will move away next year. Stupid: they are both well educated and contribute to the US economy (and pay a lot of taxes). One of them will even keep their job, just do it overseas.

Even China is recruiting more foreign scientists than the USA these days.
But what is the point of making it a secret?

It would make foreigners' companies have a harder time because the public info is wrong... But this also makes Chinese companies have a harder time as well.

Not to mention, it erodes trusts for every entity that depends or trades with China...
My own experience here was with a rack of servers in a DC running a fairly heavy workload for a number of customers.

Long story short, despite pressure to move from our parent company, there was literally no dimension - services, finance, performance, support - on which AWS was better for our workload. Our DC capex+opex was less than a quarter of the parent company’s opex spend on AWS, despite our workload being much greater - and we needed fewer staff to manage it.

So I for one am really happy to see Oxide producing an on premise private cloud solution like this.
The only mechanism the USA has for influencing human behavior is criminalization.
The article is about undisclosed foreign reserves, not any foreign reserves. There’s general consensus among economists and political scientists that maintaining foreign reserves is both good for countries and for global peace, but that really only works if everybody knows you’re doing it[1].

In other words: it’s easier to think of untoward reasons for hiding foreign reserves than honest ones. That’s why there’s a story here, not “China bad.”

i commented on boundaries here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36556098

we seem to have different priorities. to some here it seems of primary importance that their parents respect their boundaries. to me, forgiveness, tolerance and a healthy relationship with my family is more important, and my boundaries that i don't want violated are much tighter.
So during the Balkan conflict, Serbia was able to send up fighters to challenge the NATO air fleets? Nope. They had to rely (and did an exceptional job) on their SAM systems and radars.
> It only seems halfway reasonable because its passing happened so long ago

Haha thanks for making me feel old. I suspect many of us who remember life before DMCA don't consider it halfway reasonable.
I'm not denying that scrapers exist, I'm just highly suspicious of this explanation given that:
a) he's proven time and time again how willing he is to say shit just to get attention
b) he doesn't seem to understand software very well
c) if shit was imploding for reasons related to decisions he made, this is precisely the kind of blame externalization I would expect.
Except to indicate something new and modern which needs its own visual distinction… like hyperlinks. Using underlining as the default for hyperlinks was genius.
I meant the distribution of "men who don't propose because they don't want to get married" vs. "men who don't propose because they want to get married but don't think a proposal would be accepted".
It really feels like the first gadget I have gotten in a long time that continues to delight. It's the rare gadget that keeps updating the better.
Then we just add 2fa to the scraper and continue scraping the shit out of Twitter. Checkmate.
The person is asking why you can change it to a completely different product that’s in a different category. Like changing a listing for socks to a listing for a monitor stand.
It’s unlikely to be a simple shift and more of a global splintering into various monies for different purposes.

I 2.5x’d my salary by

1. Hiring a negotiation consultant, and
2. Get offers from 3 FAANGs.

The consultant just told me what to say/email, and I did it. Not sure it would happen now 2 years later.
Oh, man, I completely tuned out in the 80s! I had a hard childhood and so there were many reasons not to listen to people around me. When those same people purchased for me a big headphone radio set, I was too pleased to wear it constantly.

It was tan-colored and bulky, with nice cushioned headband and earpieces. It was AM/FM with volume, tuning, and not much else. It was my closest companion for years.

I walked into a Denny's with my mom (the radio was off) and some guy took one look and said "How long until he goes deaf!" Ha-ha. But I valued my hearing, and listened at tolerable levels. Live rock concerts were a bigger hazard to my hearing.

I also had a cassette player Walkman clone and all sorts of earphones, headphones. I picked up a miniature LCD TV from Radio Shack so I could watch TV at night. Yep, definitely addicted to media from an early age and really tuned out.

Yet I also knew how to keep my wits about me. I didn't wear that stuff while I was bicycling or driving a car. Sure, I'd turn up the speakers, but I often had the windows down too. so I don't think my situational awareness on the road was impaired.

But it's definitely a temptation. It is just as easy to get in a wreck if you are fumbling for a cassette tape or trying to tune the radio in the console, especially if you're wearing headphones, as it would be in this day and age with a smartphone.

And I'm sure that medieval codex-readers stubbed their toes and walked into posts as well. Distraction is nothing new, it's simply been progressively weaponized and monetized.
I have no idea!

Speculating baselessly: a country might choose to hold excess foreign reserves without publicly disclaiming them when it lacks confidence in its own currency or economy, or if it foresees global market upsets (e.g. wars) that would make their local currency less desirable for international trade.

I agree with your point about eroding trust: it’s hard to think of a reason to do this that would be worth it.
What holiday is it?
See Brian’s excellent reply to your sibling.
I agree that they shouldn't dump it all into chapter 1.

But, when learning any cryptographic scheme, in order to understand what is going on, it is certainly necessary to learn the corresponding mathematical tools. Even to define what it means for a scheme to be secure requires a good grasp of probability (and negligible functions in the asymptotic regime).
Very true. Many space startups and NASA contractors always hiring. But aerospace famously pays peanuts (I think too many fanboys who just hear “space” and sign on dotted line)
Teamwork was mentioned in the post
it had this 'flyby dma' model for doing data transfers without going through the register file. which was pretty handy for making things like channel processors.
If you want to talk about bad faith arguments, calling the AI a "hellsystem" is showing your bias just a bit.
You fail to see a difference between a country run by an autocratic cult of personality and a country run by a democracy? That’s troubling. The US commitment to human rights is flawed, but it’s nothing compared to the dystopia that is China. Values matter.
I was asking about this specific person's situation. I do recognize (and despise) the visa issue that indentures immigrants to employers. But I'm curious what other circumstances there may be.
Yes, but..

If you are in the kind of adversarial management relationship where this is necessary, you have already lost.

Do you think this kind of guy, when you point to "hey remember the conversation, here's the follow-up mail with the meeting notes" he's gonna be like "oh yeah, I was wrong, you are right." ?

It's good to have meeting agendas and follow up minutes, I just rarely find that they are going to help you litigate anything. More to remind you how a decision came to be.
We have a Patreon for Woogles, we make on the order of $100 a month from it. Mostly to keep our servers running along with other random donations. Not sure if we need to do more “fundraising”.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the thundering herd problem.
Why no UTC? I guess London may be the same, though I’m unsure about DST?

The launch wasn’t listed in UTC but in its local timezone? That is odd.
The problem with moonlighting a meaningful side project is that any marketing you do will alert HR to the fact you are moonlighting (HR in large corps pay to have employees' social media scanned).

In most cases you'll either be told to stop or in the worst case your employer will claim they own it.
I thought that Oracle v Google established that APIs are copyrightable, but Google's copying met the terms for fair use?
Totally. The actual judges who tried him? Shams. It's these politician-appointed supreme court judge-kings who are impartial, fair and all knowing. I totally believe you.
AskGPT4: 90-Minute Workshop on Nonviolent Communication
I think main issue is when it comes to DOM manipulation, the DOM is generally the bottleneck, not JavaScript. And since the DOM manipulations must be executed by JS anyways, you are often adding overhead by embedding your UI lib into wasm which then needs to message pass with JS to execute the DOM changes anyways.

See: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht...
I’m curious why you think mathematics doesn’t need to be covered here. Immediately after covering the maths background, the author jumps into elliptic curves and I can’t think of how to understand that without understanding a little bit finite fields and groups. The maths covered seems essential for almost the entire last third of the book.
Nice trolling :) ISC still saves all passwords in plain text (!), they’re unchangeable, and probably running a very ancient and vulnerable version of Java. Apparently someone on the FB group claimed their password which they only use for that site was found in a data breach.

Oh yeah and you can change your tiles at will and draw RETINAS 7 times in a row if you want :)
I think it is more like format string attacks made it famous.
That seems very unlikely to me. Certainly LLMs are very compute intensive relative to past applications, but I would find it shocking if they are not nonetheless far more scalable than human labor.
I feel the same way, and I think it's really nice read for someone who's a decade or so into their career and has been head down chasing their interests im obscurity. The privelege of doing that is its own reward but it's easy to see why this approach leads to great outcomes.

P.S.Why do you feel the need to say you're not a fanboy? Are you assuming that a positive statement about his work implies that you are and that you afraid of that impression ?
How did you go about finding a negotiation consultant?
> I'm not a child, I don't need my hand held … I don't understand folks who want their tools to fight them.

The thing about teams is that they’re made up of people with different needs, and the tooling works to benefit the entire team not just one specific opinionated individual.

Formatting and linting is frequently done in precommit hooks. This avoids a much longer feedback loop of CI failures for trivial tasks that add at most a couple of seconds to a commit (usually less).

If you don’t like it, you can simply eject out of it using the no-verify flag instead of complaining about having to fight tooling that benefits everyone else.
Program what makes you happy, everyone else is already programming the rest.
True but I don’t understand how an engineer can design a safe nuclear power plant for a rapidly uninhabitable environment.

It might be the only option though.

People like to latch onto things thinking they are an obvious perfect solution without honestly recognising the costs.
I heard it about Berthold K P Horn https://www.eecs.mit.edu/people/berthold-horn/, professor of machine vision. And it was extra convenient because he wanted to output the result of the computation as an image anyway, and what better way than with a high-quality printer?
Same with Instagram Reels, and they're also fairly popular.
Is this really easier than consulting a calendar?

Its the weekend before the 4th of July, the independence day for USA - many employers give employees Monday and Tuesday off, creating a potential four day break during what is typically very good weather - that being said Twitter is presumably (still) an international company with people in all different holiday areas.
Yeah, scrapers have always existed and while their traffic is undoubtedly higher than it has been in the past, it can't possibly be any significant amount of traffic when compared to the rest of the traffic hitting the site.

A real scraper would be stopped by a rate limit set to, like, 100 tweets/minute. 600 tweets/day is a completely pointless, punitive limit.
That change seems like it would be pretty straightforward to implement in the input handling code of an emulator.
What was before and after salary?
DEC or IBM terminal servers. When I was an intern, we migrated ~45k terminals from the legacy serial to IP.
I mean it's the gigantic elephant in the room. The reported narratives have aligned over the years as if they were our enemy.

Here are some:

Economically, they're an adversary; they undercut western manufacturing and all our manufacturing went there. They manipulate their currency. They interfere with foreign owned businesses. They steal IP. They're seeking to upset the global money standard. They entrap other nations with predatory loans for infrastructure. They trade with our other enemies and flaunt sanctions, etc, etc.

Ethically, they're our adversary: They use (basically) slave labor, unethical materials (e.g. live plucking), environmentally damaging materials (e.g. banned CFCs), they happily pollute the earth as if tomorrow isn't a concern. They are scraping the ocean clean to feed their people. They oppress their citizens, they operate a crude faux-democracy, they have embarked on an extremely damaging zero covid approach long after it ceased to be relevant to save face for creating it, etc, etc.

Politically, they're our adversary, insulting foreign politicians, trying to annexe land and sea that definitively isn't theirs (Tibet, "South China" Sea), engaging in brinksmanship to force the issue, etc.

These are all things from media stories that I can think of from the top of my head. Not exactly representation as a best friend.
Group 4 is shipping. And of course, the chip shortage affected everyone. They aren’t scamming anyone, I’ve got mine, have been providing updates to the console and ecosystem. Hang in there :)
Except nobody is stopping anything, and everybody knows it by now.
that is not what this subthread is about. this is about the question whether it is reasonable for me to threaten my parents to not let them see my children if they don't stop posting photos of them on facebook against my wishes.

to me a good relationship with my parents is more important than staying out of facebook.
Reading this, I had an epiphany just now.

What you’ve shared is essentially Dharma. Or giving back from a sense of duty, or as a matter of principle.

Interestingly, Karma preaches: if you give to those in need, you will receive in return when you’re in need.

Although the motivations are different in both teachings (Buddhism vs. Hinduism, with carrot vs. stick if you will), they have the same effect - to reach an equilibrium in society.

Edited: For clarity
Every social network and large tech company has awful people running it? And I'm yet to see anything beyond "an anonymous source" on this apparent overworking.

If you work for a large US tech company, you are replacable automata. How do people not know this? Am I the crazy one here?
the irony of all the premature celebrations over the past 8 months. If you stick your head in the sand and pretend there are no problems, i guess there really arent any, until maybe there is?
+1.

Ironic that someone saying it's scaling 101 follows up the comment with a completely wrong explanation.
They're not perfect examples. But what they're saying is:

* High returns from interest means the cost of capital is higher. Comparable safe investments return more, so investors demand more of a return from a riskier one.

* As a result, a lot fewer venture investments make sense with the higher discount rate.

* Companies cannot count on going back to the venture till, so high volatility strategies of chase-IPO-now or monetize-now are increasingly employed.

* Similarly, public companies desperately seek better fundamentals now, because future revenues are discounted so much in investors' opinions.

* As a result, a lot of companies enshittify, going after short term wins that risk the entire company's reputation..

As to the interest rate environment: the Fed has suggested a couple more interest rate hikes are likely later this year. It is likely to take quite awhile to walk rates down after inflationary pressures reduce. Current market prices imply rates will stay relatively high for the next few years.

No one really knows what an aging, contracting population will do to the interest rate environment. It's likely governments will have to borrow a bunch more, which can push up rates... And older workers seem to be more productive than models expected, which adds further upward rate pressure.
Entirely plausible, Canada as a country coasts on our relative affluence and resource base far too much, I'd like to see us pushing money into R&D for technological solutions as well.

I know what you're saying about our contribution to emissions, but I feel like the most basic principle of good faith when you're trying to get another party to do something like this is to deal with your own shit first, otherwise it's just hypocrisy. Every country in the world can look at their own contributions and say "well, most of it isn't our fault, so why should we fix it until somebody else does?". Rightly or wrongly, Canada likes to think of itself as a world leader, so let's put our big boy pants on and step up.
