Opposing hate is an extremely laudable goal (even though genuinely well-intentioned people can reasonably disagree with defining hateful conduct and figuring out what's a proper response to hate) but I agree with your opinion. To me, this organization's activity looks to be a fairly thin veneer of "anti-hate" over a thick layer of ideologically driven political activism. To me, their focus on things like "Anti-vaxx misinformation" and "climate change misinformation" is bizarre if they were really genuine in their stated purpose.
Yeah I mean, there is a range of outcomes. That said, if you are in the top 99.5% or higher numerically you have quite a good shot.

Résumé: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AtSte25GWe3og3xRaTiOGrZzHaze

Email: iliammanolov at gmail dot com

I'm a backend engineer who has a deep interest in system optimization and computer graphics. My last position was at FinTech on improving infrastructure throughput to exchanges. Academically I've specialised on GPU compute and enjoy finding its appropriate use-cases. I've also delved into developing for VR with a 3D Constructive Solid Geometry modeller with a custom BSP-based renderer in Unity.

Open to any comparable positions to my previous one or alternatively to anything related to GPU programming.
I'm kind of a privacy freak too, but I actually don't would not and do not mind telemetry in OSS that are transparent about it. I send metrics about archlinux, plasma, firefox or syncthing: check this out https://data.syncthing.net/

I wouldn't mind transparent and honest telemetry in other tools like rustc or even vim. I don't see losing anything by sending my screen resolution and version of Xorg or Wayland. How is my privacy betrayed by this? I don't see what am I losing here, how am I betrayed, but I understand that these metrics will help make the tools better, give data to intelligent developers what to work on, what features are used more frequently.

I think the word telemetry is associated with bad vibes thanks to Microsoft and Google abusing telemetry, having it opt-out by default or giving users no control over it. For opensource tools we should use another word like "Automated User Feedback", or something else without the baggage.

We need warning labels. If people knew there are pfas in their pizza boxes and popcorn bags, they wouldn't accept it.
That is not the reason for being against publishing the name of these complete and utter scumbags.

The only reason not to publish names is that there's always the risk of a false positive.
A (very talented) friend of mine was supposed to work at the White House during the Obama admin. He got as far as signing documents and moving from California to Washington DC.

That was when they told him that his offer was rescinded for past use of marijuana. They said there were no exceptions to the rule, but it was the only reason he was denied.
I’m assuming your post is related to open-ish source developer tools.

Not at all. In software, fruit grows on top of fruit.

My personal wishlist: a desktop DB client with simple UX, tooling for DB functions, a tool for performance testing in various geographies, and a browser with symmetric encryption.
I'm in a local run group. I can't really run and keep up with folks. Occasionally I do a slower run/walk with folks, but people don't always want to be that slow (for me).

It's also something that is only convenient once a week or so - doesn't answer the issue around the rest of the time.
The Coral line of products targets embedded/IoT inference applications, and are on the low end as far as processing power goes. AFAICT the recent surge of demand, mostly fueled by LLMs, is for GPUs on the opposite end of processing power and RAM size.
Most people I talk to don't recognize the importance of room temperature superconductivity.

A floating grain is cool, but not something that jumps out at people like a rocket or a big fusion reactor.

The application is similarly unintuitive. Many here on HN ask why such a thing would be important, and they are probably the 99th (or 99.9th?) percentile in materials science and EE literacy.

Wait wait wait... Are eggs healthy again?
This feels like a nothingburger:

- Infosys already had a $100m/year contract with BP

- the new contract is 1.5b over 10 years, so a significant increase, but as part of the contract infosys becomes the primary IT partner for BP, therefore not an unimaginable increase

- Infosys's customers include Shell, Aramco, Chevron, and others. They're one of the top IT services company for the energy industry, so this isn't an outlandish customer for them to have

- Infosys's revenue in 2021 was $12b, making this contract
~1% of their annual revenue. The net increase over their previous contract is .4%

In short, this looks like a fairly standard contract from a provider that was already heavily represented in the industry and has an existing substantial investment with the customer - and one that doesn't materially impact the trajectory of the company. Other than the timing of the events, there doesn't seem to be anything to suggest inappropriate actions on anyone's part.
It's closest to a "hidden role" game, like werewolf or Town of Salem.

There's a general task that everyone (often even called a "crew" in space based flavors) has to complete to win, but there are people who are essentially secret saboteurs who are trying to complete a different objective that often explicitly causes the rest of the players to lose.

Look up Secret Hitler, which explicitly has you voting for government leader, different factions, and voting for which actions to take as a government. Your goal as the crew is to vote for democracy or uncover hitler, and your goal as hitler or a facist is to do facism.

I do some - I perhaps lump those in with 'podcasts' mentally, but yeah, sometimes I do audio books.
I have a shortlist of pain points:

- Tooling is not great. The language server has a tendency to silently crash on occasion, and it's no rust-analyzer to begin with. A tooling rewrite has been delayed behind proper incremental compilation, which has been delayed behind ARC/ORC...

- Interfaces ("concepts") are experimental and there are two differing implementations.

- It lacks proper sum types and structural pattern matching in the core language. There are a number of quite good macro-based libraries that provide for this, however: fusion/matching, andreaferretti/patty, beef331/fungus, alaviss/union...

- Optional types are not the standard: the stdlib will throw exceptions. This is more so a personal preference than anything.

But that's about it. I do like Nim quite a lot.
Edited to add: they were apparently born in 1969, I've spent too much time online, and I enthusiastically leapt to the wrong conclusion.

Original comment follows:

The lawyer who sent the letter has the wikipedia username "kimlynn69".

You'd think that a lawyer, engaging in actions on behalf of a client, would use a more professional username.
This remind me of the recent story here, about how tobacco companies knew that radioactive polonium in their tobacco leaves was causing an insane rate of lung cancer, killing 130 out of ever 1,000 smokers over 25 years. [0]

They even had a process to remove the radioactivity, but, it made the nicotine a little less addictive so they didn't do it. Instead, they kept marketing to children with cartoon characters for another 20+ years until forced to stop.

These same companies are still marketing cigarettes to kids where they can get away with it.

At some point we need to start talking about self defense from this shitty system. And I feel like that point was the 60's.

To gather human intel you have to be willing to do things like drink in social situation and (gasp) sometimes do drugs with the people you're trying to collect intel from, to gain their friendship.

In other words, you need to have a slightly adventurous personality.
> more money to spend on research

Would you accept “chooses to spend more on research”?

The US certainly could spend more but, imho sadly, we do not.

Definitely. Also, running days should be interleaved with stretching/strengthening exercise days.
Just for general fitness, it's oretty easy to do a mile a day (or more) on a treadmill. A fast walk is enough if running isn't your thing, two or three 10 minute sessions is all it takes. Not long enough to get coding before the next meeting? Hop on the treadmill and have a think.

As a bit of added fun, it's easy to hack a treadmill to measure speed, stride, distance etc. I've got an old 42" TV in front of mine, great for watching videos, youtube and (using a PC) walking through CGI of various forms.
Why aim to improve when we can just keep making the same old mistakes?
yeah but JSON has become to de-facto universal format. At the very least, it would be cool if you could convert that into a common runtime format and pipe structured data from one command to another so you don't have to keep parsing things at every stage, or abandoning the shell entirely and working only in jq
Yeah, but water is also wet.

Shell scripting is beyond salvation. Inconsistent, illogical crap. It's ridiculous that Bash doesn't have first-class JSON support in 2023, but even if it did, that still wouldn't make me want to write Shell.
I think a lot of the losses happen in the semiconductors in the CPU, not the wires. Even if LK-99 is a room temperature superconductor, it's probably not usable as a semiconductor.
Yes, I've looked at this. It looks great, and the templates functionality is precisely what makes LaTeX is the standard, and so it's clear they understand what it takes to replace the language. As it stands, LaTeX is deeply entrenched in the mathematics community, and it'll take journals creating typst templates to truly allow me to switch (unless I can transpile typst to LaTeX? this is typically a bad idea). But I've been playing with it, and I really adore the smarter programmatic interface.
It's... OK.

But... I just stopped because trying to hit that every... single... day - rain/shine/snow, while traveling on the road, etc... it just became ... boring. Well... some days "inconvenient" was a better term.
Higher nominal taxes rates don’t translate directly to higher effective tax rates.

Is not exactly true, smaller than 24 bytes is passed by value, the compiler optimizes larger calls and passes by reference implicitly.
As much as I don't trust the current and recent crop of senior UK government politicians, this is a editorialised title.

The company, Infosys is his father in laws (his wife does have shares), and as far as I can see there is no link between this IT contract and North Sea oil rights. But maybe I'm wrong and it a simple bribe, but I doubt it.

Fundamentally though, a billionaire should not be a political leader, too much opportunity of corruption or the appearance of it.

There are several games, including a series just called "Capitalism" that are about financialization or economies.
What is there to question exactly? This is not a philosophical discussion, but hard science. Can this experiment be replicated or not?
What debates is there to be?

It's making us all sick. Slowly but surely.
Telemetry has a place for product managers but it is a crutch when used for quality - it is heavily lagging and noisy, introducing it has a pull to the ‘right’ in quality gating. This isn’t a webservice with uptime and recovery requirements - it seems better to optimise processes around catching issues before public release.

How practical this would be? Considering use cases of reinforced concrete and like? Or how sound structurally it would be compared to what we currently use? We use reinforced concrete for reasons. And if this stops it from working is it really worth the effort?
Unskilled labor is at a deep disadvantage to skilled labor, why do you think those industries are generally better paid? The more unbalanced the power dynamic the more one side is able to control pricing.

One interesting asymmetry is time - sellers on the labor market typically need to make a deal within weeks or months. Buyers tend to be able to wait months or years. Its hard to say that the market is doing the truest 'price discovery' in that situation.
Nope, that's typically a deal breaker. It's the stuff they find out that you didn't want them to know that can get you blocked. The thinking is that if an adversary finds it out, they could use it as leverage against you. I've held clearances in the past and was forthcoming about marijuana use. It largely comes down to the judgement of the investigator. I'm really not surprised that some people have been bounced for drug use and some people haven't.
If you decriminalize hard drugs, all that happens is that addicts stay addicts, have a higher likely hood of becoming homeless and higher chance of dying. Hard drugs for the most part outside of controlled environments have almost no positive qualities. Drugs like cannabis have medical attributes and can provide benefits.

People addicted to hard drugs require treatment, leaving them to their own devices is likely to have negative results. Problem is, who is going to pay for that treatment and for how long? On top of that, is it ok for Bob the local heroine addict to shoot up in front of peoples homes in a local residential community or school? Do we really want to worry about Bob dropping his needles on the ground?

I'm not a fan of sending people to jail for drug use but when balanced against the very real repercussions to peoples lives regarding hard drug use and the affect on communities, not sure what the alternative is. Rendering down town areas unwalkable due to an infestation of addicts, and the associated uptick in property crime and robbery is not acceptable either.

Plus once drugs are legal, its very likely the first thing to be chopped in a budget crunch is going to be treatment programs as illustrated in Portugal.

Not sure what the answer is but just waving a wand and making hard drugs legal is not it.
Is this where all the crypto enthusiasts migrated to?
Some are happy for now because they largely aren't accounting for the deferred costs that are being pushed down the road - once you account for wear & tear on the car and associated maintenance and eventual new car purchases, their earnings are much less than what it seems in the short-term. Uber relies on drivers not running all the numbers before signing up.
that's not my take, the US has just as much talent, knowledge, and skill, but scientists here will do it 10 times to make damn sure they don't look bad before they put it out. Same reason the original 3 authors are trying to get it in nature for. More formal, more assurance for the scientific community than some twitter posts. In the end, everyone is starting from the same info right now.

Hey, this is a release candidate. It got made mainly to test the new GitHub Actions release workflow, though it's just as well because we're very close to doing a 1.7. Probably a week away.
I mean you might think AI can't currently affect humanity but it really does. A lot of people are now using AI to write code and to answer questions they probably should be asking a doctor or lawyer. A lot of people seem to think it's some all knowing and psychic thing and will take its advice blindly.
> Lying, hiding facts or getting whatever kind of crafty to get hired will lead one to MUCH MUCH bigger trouble if/when it gets discovered later on. Think _treason_.

No, don’t think “treason”, because lying on (even a national security related) job-related interview is nothing close to treason.

OTOH, lying to government officials about a matter within the jurisdiction is a felony even without invoking weird flights of fancy about treason.
My whole family runs (including sub 3h marathons) and not a single one of them writes online about running.

As far as I can tell they are not self-important, they just run. I also run, and compared to the rest of the family even more under the radar: I do no contests ever, I run alone, I run at night. If I ever speak to someone about it, it is because they asked or because it was the topic of the conversation before I entered it. Running is my thing that I do for myself, the rest doesn't give me anything. It is a good habit, a free time and helps me to release stress (which is mostly mental in my job).

So maybe your question could be rephrased: "Why are the posts I read from people who post online about running so obnoxiously self-important about it?"

As I don't believe runners are any more annoying than e.g. ice skaters I could think of one rhing. Like with noises the things we find annoying might also have to do with ourselves. A friend of mine is constantly complaining about how "obnoxiously self-important" vegans are. He loves meat, but as a somewhat rational person he knows he is wrong. When I ask him where those vegans are and what they do he can't point to any specific thing. You could sit a vegan on the same table as him and even if the vegan says nothing and minds their own business he would feel they are "self-important" — all while he would be the guy to start speaking about it.

I am not implying that a similar mechanism is at play in your case at all, I don't know you. But it is something to be aware of. If you e.g. are someone who feels they should run more, but never get around to it for one reason or another, that might color your perception of people who do write about it.
