33 applications since 1st of June:

- 2 rejected after interview.

- 2 ghosted after interview.

- 3 declined on my part after interview for various reasons (1 paid essentially below minimum wage, and 2 required relocating to a different country which is fine by me for the right job, but I didn't really have a good feeling about either).

- 8 rejected by email.

- 18 no reply (but some might still reply, since it can take a few weeks).

So that's about a 50% reply rate, give or take (assuming I'll get a reply from a few of the application from the last few days).
SV types have a really really bad habit of thinking that, because they are "smart" at doing one thing, they are smart enough to be the best at anything. It happens in STEM fields too but it just seems to be a core ideology of SV everything.
> At issue is a restriction that CDE requires researchers to sign as a condition for their gaining access to nonpublic K-12 data. The clause, which CDE is interpreting broadly, prohibits the researcher from participating in any litigation against the department, even in cases unrelated to the research they were doing through CDE.

That's an unreasonable restriction and I expect the ACLU to win this.

How can data collected by the government be private? That should all be available to the public since it was gathered with public funds. Has no one issued a freedom of information request?
Thanks for the bug report. And yes, your fix worked :). I had `inset:0` for the file input and was working on all browsers except firefox.
there are good tacos all over Texas. Def in El Paso. El Cometa is a chain that's on both sides of the border. Idk what that guy is on about.
Believe it or not it hasn't been a vacation spot for me yet.
Requiring more education/outcome data to be public would help prevent this. If education researchers are forced to get data from California's Department of Education, there's tacit pressure to find results that make DoE look good.
Most criticisms of worldcoin completely misunderstand/misrepresent how it works but this one does not. The GP is correctly pointing out that the iris hash is only necessary for receiving some of the initial airdrop. It is completely true that once a wallet is generated (and you don't even need to visit an orb to create a wallet) anyone who possesses the private key, human or robot, can send transactions using that wallet. Receiving some of the initial airdrop really does require trusting worldcoin that they are telling the truth and not saving images of your iris.
> one of the biggest advantage of crypto stuff is removing the need for reputation and trust.

I don't think it does that, though, at least when used as a currency. The irreversibility of crypto transactions means that you have to have some trust that the person you're dealing with will be willing to make things right when erroneous transactions happen.
If only they could be targeted to be more relevant to you :thinking_face:
With most crypto projects it's actively worse because they tell their users that "trust, fraud, identity etc don't matter because we have a blockchain!".

The rare few which are pretty upfront in saying that in exchange for their strong privacy guarantees the user is fully responsible for everything, are the only ones with any real utility (eg Monero).
Invisible asymptotes (2018)
It’s the adopted term. I don’t see why it HAS to be the absolute exact closest possible term to what it would be in a human or something.

It feels a bit like saying “stop calling it e-mail! It’s got nothing to do with real mail!”
A combination of fiscal policy (money is literally expensive at the moment, as central banks raise interest rates to combat inflation) and fear (a lot of people have been expecting a recession any day now for the last year, though it keeps getting postponed, and may yet be the recession that never was; while a good few countries dipped briefly into technical recession this year, fear of another proper global recession does seem to be abating a bit).
You can have calls redirected on Twilio to another number easily by using a "Twimlet" which is a pre-built "TwiML" (Twilio's XML markup) generator.

https://www.twilio.com/labs/twimlets

I use the "Forward" one for calls.

For SMS, it used to be not too complicated - I would host a file directly on Twilio (using a Twilio bin) to forward the SMS to another number.

Recently, sending out SMS's has become a lot more complicated due to compliance (Twilio wants to make sure you don't spam people - but the burden on small developers was just too much for me, after ~2-3 months of back and forth emailing with them to get approved)

I've switched my SMS forwarding to use https://pushover.net/ . I use Twilio's hosted nodejs platform to get the incoming SMS message, and use Pushover's API.

It's potentially brittle-ish overall (lots of pieces) but it's also been working for years.

A native mobile app that would let me just get calls and sms for my hosted Twilio phone numbers is really what I'm asking for... :-)
It's a boilerplate response for pro-China comments.
I guess I remember interpreting it more as a way of looking at the opportunity cost instead of ignoring it, kind of like "If you don't go to college for the next 4 years, what would you be doing instead?"
Right, but DXGI flip in windowed mode is a relatively recent addition and one that’s a net improvement. (Windowed always had an extra delay added due to composition)
Democratizing Innovation
You can use your personal phone to access it, BYOD style but completely separated from your personal data.
You wildly underestimate how willing people are to avoid lose money in order to avoid the time and effort it takes to get rid of some kinds of stuff ;)
Also not having to constantly perform CAPTCHAs. A lot of web sites are happy to provide service for free, but don't want it bombarded with bots. They can record you to ascertain that you behave like a human, at a cost to privacy. Faced with privacy-preserving tools like TOR, they revert to inconveniences like CAPTCHA.
> It costs zero energy to ignore the things you don’t like.

So, you are saying there should not be any protests, criticisms, and disagreements?
There are so many leetcode problems most people can't fully memorize them all and many people just don't.

I actually think interview questions that are more qualitative are worse. I have to freaking guess the "design philosophy" of the interviewer and cater to his viewpoint which is often pointless or just flat out wrong.
Seems like not that much power. I guess you could build this into solar panels (some kind of coating?) so that they generate power when it rains too so that the percentage of time the panel generates power is higher. But would the decrease in efficiency justify it or would it decrease the overall wattage produced? Maybe in places where it rains a lot, like Seattle, that would be worth it to increase the percentage of time it is producing power?

> and that guy proved all the haters right by going to work for Microsoft: it's the ultimate fuck you to people who believed in Linux since the beginning.

er...what on earth are you talking about?

as far as I recall, people complained about Lennart because:

1. they didn't like his attitude (lol)

2. they didn't want "init" to do so much, which was mostly just people not bothering to actually look into systemd-the-binary vs systemd-the-project was

3. random specific technical complaints like journald not using plain text or unit files being ini files or whatever

edit: typo

> it's the ultimate fuck you to people who believed in Linux since the beginning.

out of interest, when in the 90's do you feel this was?

does it only apply to people who used slackware 1.0? or just SLS users? or does one have to have received a tarball from Lars directly?
It's weird how much of that wiki article (and others I just looked up) trends towards right/alt-right extremism as I have never thought of accelerationism as something fascists would take to. My original understanding of it was that ai/tech will become so advanced that it will take over a lot of the production and labor we currently do to feed, build, and supply the world with resources and when that part is automated, humans would hopefully be freed up to do more with their life. This would have to involve restructuring money, society and how governments and resources are allocated. Ties to UBI and how much people get will have to be solved in a different way since we no longer need to do all the menial work. The time span between ai starting to be able to do all of this (maybe starting soon) and when we finally figure out we don't need to work for money is the terrible part where loss of jobs would eventually cause an upheaval and rethinking of how society needs to be structured and the acceleration that people talk about is trying to speed through this bad part as fast as possible to get to the other side as possible. I guess my idea of it is not at all what others seem to think though? I'm pretty pessimistic the "other side" will actually be a utopia but that would be up to the collective to figure out but it seems like a worthwhile concept on the surface.
The issues oftentimes are what can the founder do before he or she moves to the startup and what company-related items need to be in place before the founder can be sponsored by the startup. This requires a conversation unfortunately since the advice is case-specific. My advice then is to find a good corporate attorney and to speak with an immigration attorney who works with founders and startups before setting up the company.
Any org will often have multiple users asking the same questions over and over again on slack. Apart from a search bar there isn’t a good way to archive or pin important conversations for everyone to see
Meanwhile a lot of boxes are still on RHEL-6 point releases that use linux-2.6. Not even those will be gone in 10 years.
I should've probably mentioned this, but we've got that covered! ESM until we can finish our move to the New Home

I appreciate the mention though, never know how long people intend to keep things running.
Have any YC founders previously opted for 'citizenship based on investment programs' such as St. Kitts & Neves etc?
Here is my guess. The author is most likely younger than you and I. And has never experienced the instant response of analog.
I don't actually like many Open Source "products". I like a lot of Open Source and Free software, but trying to turn that stuff into a product almost inevitably ruins it. Just look at Plex, or NextCloud, or Docker, etc..
> and hope something more ethical comes out of the more distributed market power & natural competition.

...and keep a watchful eye and a litigious gun pointed at them lest they reconstitute.
A hallucination is an unexpected emergence.

The 'making up' facts, because it cannot determine a fact from fiction, is entirely expected behavior.

There is no 'hallucination' as the behavior is anticipated, expected, and entirely within normal operations processes.

The bullshit comes from there being no model of trust these AIs subscribe to. I'd love-love-love to see these AI producers be held to some responsibility to verification of truth and ethics.

These companies/universities/groups allowing their applications to bold-face-lie (misrepresent data with authority) to citizens should be top-priority to bash-in-the-face by legislators around the world.
It was also a common experience for those of us who didn't have cable or satellite, with the only channels available being whatever came in over the air.

Even in more densely populated areas there were blank channels you'd flip through, and where I grew up there were only two channels that came in most of the time with another 1-2 that'd briefly become available at certain times of day or during specific weather where atmospheric conditions boosted the signal strength of those stations.
How important is a degree for o-1? and what are easy or non-negotiables or important conditions or awards that definitely make someone qualify for a o-1?
There is no anonymity with tor if there is logging. There is only Obfuscation for most use cases. The latency makes is also have poor appeal. An untrusted internet or a hostile network isn’t going to change because there is a pretext of anonymity. I personally think highly trusted peers are the only solution.
I'm surprised there aren't more full tapings of 90's television available, as in entire blocks of broadcasting with all the commercials intact. That was how most recording would have happened, and with the start of TV Land the networks should have been able to predict there'd be a market for it in 30 years.
You can dynamically import using import(): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe.... Works basically the same as a static import, just returns a promise that resolves with the module that you're importing.
When you price a Mac and a comparable Dell/Lenovo running Linux, the Mac is often a more attractive option - it's more expensive, but it's also well built, faster, quieter, lighter, has longer battery life, and has excellent support (professionals buy AppleCare).

The other day someone mentioned how expensive a fully loaded MacPro is. Turns out, if it solves your problem, a fully loaded MacPro is around €100 (of, IIRC, ~20K) more expensive than a Dell tower server, and, I'm sure, a lot quieter.
I made this comment the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36885902

If you want to go back a bit further in time, I'd like to point out someone else's comment that I thought was pretty spot on as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26238410

Hopefully that opens some discussion/thought points that we can focus on.

Update: thinking a bit further on your points. My personal concern isn't privacy, my concern is more with decentralization. I don't agree with other people telling me what I can and cannot do with my own funds. It is relatively simple things... If I travel to another country, being limited to carrying $10k cash on a plane, is absurd (why would I need to carry cash anyway?). If I'm in another country, getting access to my funds is often extremely difficult. These are the things that I'd like to see people work on.

You can split hairs all you want about the ruling class and the gov but the latter is the sock puppet of the former. That is, they are effectively one in the same. When that duo screws the proles - and it does, often - that IS good for China. aka Communist China.

Balloon = "new red scare" = "we need more DoD budget" = "we don't have money for X, Y, and Z" = "let them eat balloons"

It's a tired and known pattern. But proles being proles don't get it. FFS, most on HN don't get it.
Malfunctions? Breaking? Errors? Poor reliability?
Unfortunately, it depends on the company. Some job descriptions are sincere “we actually need this”; some are a wish list.

Would you really be going to 8 shops every time though? Realistically I would go to a grocery store or supermarket and maybe one other store (like clothes or sports supplies, maybe a butcher or something if the town has that and I want something really special that week)

I guess what Americans are missing from how smaller towns work in other countries is that they tend to be more dense, with more mixed zoning. Not as overfilled with way too big parking lots, way too wide “stroads”, and endless suburban sprawl. So the trip to town is shorter/faster, you go into town more often, for more different kinds of activities, and so you don’t have to buy everything all at once.

Take a look at the Strong Town initiative and the YouTube channel “not just bikes”.

Being in town - to me - is a part of living life. It’s where you’d have a third place, where you’d do various activities, meet people and discover new things. If you’ve felt the need to optimise your life to maximise your time at work and in your house.. that feels really sad to me.
Not to mention, all profits go directly out of town.
Why should anyone ignore Tesla criminally defrauding their customers by programming their vehicles to lie about their range?

If Musk/Tesla were just distasteful, your comment would make sense. But we know now that they've willfully harmed customers in many ways and likely committed crimes in the process.
Given recent industry layoffs, is there less demand for H1B visas? Ie, is it a better time for applicants to get one through?

I recently noticed that 99% of the content I consume comes from people from the west. I need to remind myself that the world is bigger.
It doesn't seem entirely unreasonable that if a school system gives a researcher access to data that isn't shared with the public, the researcher agrees not to use that information to sue the school system. Such agreements would allow the school system to be more free to share information.

The issue here seems to be that the school system is saying that the researchers aren't allowed to be a witness in any lawsuit against the school system regardless of whether it has to do with the data that was shared with the researchers.

I think a bigger issue is whether the school system should be allowed to keep any information private in the first place. If the information can safely be shared with a particular researcher then it seems like there is minimal benefit to society in letting the school system pick and choose who gets access and who doesn't.
IIRC that’s not composition’s fault but some application window delaying message posting with a poorly-done global hook. That’s also the cause for your mouse freezing for half a second then appearing where it should’ve been.

Maybe DWM restarting also kills and reinitializes the window messages mechanism?
Is it just me or does everyone trust AI opinions less and less ? Every time I ask it to find top 5 of something, I go and double check myself and almost always find it to be wrong. For example try searching for top 5 restaurants around me in bard. Some of them dont even exist lol and some are just random if you cross verify with actual popularity from yelp etc.
Salt, lots of salt
Maybe out of boredom? There have been 11 Tesla stories in the last 24 hours. There is other stuff out there.

Infineon to Offer Recyclable Circuit Boards That Dissolve in Water
This book from MIT Sloan professor Eric von Hippel promotes the simple idea: ask your potential customers what they want to pay for. It sounds simple, and it mostly is, but there's some lingo in the book which, if you borrow it, makes you sound like an MBA. Worth a read.

We all sometimes get too wrapped up in our own "insanely great" ideas we forget there are two ways to make money:

1. Figure out what you can make for a profit, then figure out how to sell it.

2. Figure out what people will pay for, then figure out how to make it for a profit.

Inspired by Henry Ford and Steve Jobs, we in Sili Valley focus on the former. This text focuses on the latter. I think we overlook the market for faster horses.

Von Hippel's site at MIT has links to other free downloads, all worth perusing, if not reading: https://evhippel.mit.edu/
And his context is what? Selling books and conferences? What has he actually shipped with his ideas?

To me, it's the Clean Code of web services.

Review of virtual wafer process modeling and metrology for advanced development
It's a Debian 8 base with a lot of its own custom packages. The homepage has an FAQ that tries to reassure you that being based on Debian 8 is not a problem. Whether that convinces you or not is up to you, of course.

I personally use regular Debian 12 on my router without problems. It also has "declarative config" since all the configuration, firewall rules, etc are a bunch of config files that I can scp / ansible over any time.
You don't need to carry a work phone anymore because you can access it on your personal phone, in a browser. Think BYOD, but without mixing the personal data with the business one. And when you're at work, you can access it on your (work) laptop, again by simply opening a browser.
Try `sudo systemctl reboot`. I've run into that issue in the past and somehow that worked.

On Fedora 37 `reboot` is `/usr/sbin/reboot` which is a symlink pointing to `/usr/bin/systemctl` so I don't know why it would matter, but I'll chalk it up to FM
What are you seeing in terms of impact of the Canadian Open Work Permit for U.S. H-1B Visa Holders? Has there been a large volume of talent moving to Canada from U.S. tech centers?

Right, so why they are bothering ? The technical limit is known and it is making it barely acceptable if it was free (because you still need to have dedicated inverter channel for the power conversion as characteristics are much different than what solar panels generate).

And if it wasn't free or near-free it's competing with putting one more panel or adding one more battery to the system. Or... just big, cheap funnel that is feeding water generator Sure you lose some of the velocity but it is so much simpler system

Like, generating energy from tiny movements have its niches (like sensors powered by piezoelectrics from vibrations of machine they monitor), but using it for raindrops just feels like a waste of time, most areas don't even get enough rain for that to matter.

Now if they figured out to do it to airflow with few moving parts, that would be more interesting.
There's a long history of nearly every major freedom supporter or civil rights supporter being investigated and wrongly imprisoned and even killed across the world. And that's just the famous ones we've heard of. There are an order of magnitude more who were done with well before they became historically famous and no one even knows about them.

Meh, it's just as easy to assume the opposite. Who has a stronger incentive to present themselves in the best possible light, a con artist, or a future noble prize winner with a patent on an earth-shattering technology? For the former, the credulity of the reader is necessary for the success of the con! For the latter, not so much, as the truth will be self evident in short order.
