The thing is, humans are ALL animals and 100% of the time. Group identification and primitive needs and instincts directly influence our behavior and the shape of society. Primatology should probably be required study for practicing politicians, economists, geopolitical analysts, etc.
Absolutely not.

In domains that are understood, clever architecture often will beat clever coding, or avoid many headaches altogether.

In unknown domains that are learning their way, writing less code and complexity and not more.
In the current system scientists allocate reproduction efforts to results that they intend to build on. So if you’ve claimed a breakthrough technique for levitating widgets — and I think this widget technique can be used to build spacecraft (or if I think your technique is wrong) — then I will allocate precious time and resources to reproducing your work. By contrast if I don’t think your work is significant and worth following up on, then I allocate my efforts somewhere else. The advantage is that more apparently-significant results (“might cure cancer”) tend to get a bigger slice of very limited resources, while dead-end or useless results (“might slightly reduce flatulence in cats”) don’t. This distributed entrepreneurial approach isn’t perfect, but it works better than central planning. By contrast you could adopt a Soviet-like approach where cat farts and cancer both share replication resources, but this seems like it would be bad for everyone (except the cats.)

Buddy, HostGator employee, I honestly have no idea what you're even talking about, regarding trawling through posts I've made and trying to find "gems", whatever that means. Seems you get easily aggressive towards anyone that challenges your comments, in this thread and others, telling people to "fuck off", that "literally nobody asked for their opinion" (on a public forum) and trying to find some gotcha in their posts, as if that means anything. All I said to you was that your response was weird and you immediately start popping off about being asked for an opinion, on a public forum. I don't care about you, much less "take you down," lol. You're the one who immediately started spouting personal insults after people calmly commented, so if you can't handle people commenting, get some anger management classes and perhaps step off, king.
1) Nobody is preventing you from working for a tyrant like Twit…er X and be forced to work in the office everyday (as long as they’ve paid their rent). Forcing 100% in office is nothing less than tyrannical behavior. If you don’t like their WFH policy, go work somewhere else

To sum up your summary, that’s why we’re seeing companies lose employees faster than they anticipated.
I know HN is a privileged place but people should recognize that the “worst case” of Canadian/European healthcare wait times is already the reality for many if not most Americans.. You shouldn’t base your understanding of American health care on personal experience if you work for a big company that provides a nice health insurance plan.
I wonder what the shadow labour costs for doing the SOC2 and other compliance frameworks would be in a year.
I disagree, I never got tired of building my own products.

its not about $10 or about one-time chore. It's about having to always check if the cable you pulled up is this one or the other, where to place the adapter if I need to use the C, and so on. Having just C everywhere is convenient not because it's everywhere, but because there's nothing else.
I think the point is you don't have to give a complete BOM that includes where you got the power cables. Each scientist has to decide what amount of information needs to be conveyed. Of course this can be abused, or done sloppily, like anything else.

A place where you can spread out more is in dissertations. Mine contained an entire chapter on the experiment, another on the analysis, and appendices full of source code, schematics, etc. I happily sent out copies, at my expense. My setup was replicated roughly 3 times.
My bad, I misread your comment
A few weeks ago I was unsure of my PIN code because I got it wrong on the first try, the keypad somehow seemed different (I was getting cash, which I don't often do), and I just completely blanked. I got something from a store and paid by PIN there to make sure I got the right code, and then got my cash.

I've had the same PIN code for over 20 years.
The only data I’ve seen supporting WFH is that some percentage of employees prefer it and will quit their job if required to go back to the office and other jobs exist that do not require the office.

There are plenty of anecdotes by employees stating that they are definitely, for sure, 100% more productive at home. But I have seen very few by top level execs stating that this is true and that it also scales to teams, divisions, etc. Even the definition of productivity seems very, very loose in these discussions - is it that an employee feels more productive because they don’t have to commute? Because they write more code or better code? Because they can do the laundry at lunch rather than outside work hours?

For me, having not really played many video games between ~2008 and 2020, Red Dead Redemption 2 has continued to really wow me.

It's is particularly impressive in both its breadth and depth: not only does it have huge beautiful landscapes in deserts, plains, mountains, forests, swamps, beaches, snow & rain, but also includes tiny details like being able to shoot out individual spokes of a wagon wheel, and the way the sun glows through the cartilage of characters ears.
I've been doing the dame every year for years. I'm not sure how to get out of this cycle. I will try some meditation and some healthier lifestyle and hopefully it'll help but I can't be sure.
> Further, the next step after figuring out the cost of getting options would then e getting a quote for the actual resulting medical care recommends is opaque due to differing payment %s & co-pays by procedure, etc.

There’s nothing more quintessentially American than “not knowing how much you are going to pay for something until you owe it.” You go for a hospital visit and nobody has even a remote, order-of-magnitude idea of what you are going to pay. But you have to sign a doc right away that says “you agree to pay whatever number we eventually come up with!” And then you slowly get dozens of bills from individual doctors and hospital workers over the next 4 months. It’s absurd.

Ask HN: Founder for 10 years; looking to get a job – what jobs am I fit for?
For the last 5 years I've been working on a startup where I created one of the world's most advanced algorithms in the HR space. At this time I am considering moving on from the startup and looking for jobs (a few different reasons). I am looking for recommendations on what roles I would be suitable for.

I've been a founder previously and haven't had a typical "job" for over 10 years. Over the last 5 years I have:

1. Coded extremely complex & super advanced algorithms (linear/sequential)
2. Coded & designed software products from scratch (for my startup) and deployed them to billion dollar companies.
3. Raised capital from reputable investors.
4. Designed marketing materials, did sales for my startup, sold successful SaaS contracts.
5. Managed a small team of coders.

I am potentially interested in applying for remote software engineer roles, but I was wondering if people here think that I could be a better fit for Director of Engineering or CTO positions for small startups?

Or maybe I should explore other types of roles like Product Management or Director of Product?

Any advice would be appreciated.

In terms of my own "zone of excellence" -- I would say it is probably problem solving and programming. I am able to look at very complex systems and able to understand them in an easy way.
You're implying that everyone should live in a densely urban zone? I grew up in the alps, and spent a reasonable amount of my teens waiting for the bus (1 every 2h) to go in town. Cars are decentralized means of transportation that, in some cases, can be useful.
Have a look at reforge. I once participated in their course on retention and really liked it. Most of the courses are at the intersection of product/engineering/marketing, a good interdisciplinary mix I believe. However, every cohort and course is different and I also experienced a not-so-good one as well.
I've started building a small desk clock project based on a Rockwell R65F11 embedded FORTH processor, in an effort to force myself to actually do a nontrivial project in FORTH. It's not progressing quickly, but it's also not a priority. Several folks whose opinions matter to me were big FORTH hackers in the late 70s thru the 90s, so I figure there must be something there worth hacking on!

Because it would be incredibly unpopular, for one.

Can you imagine being in the middle of some work, Googling a term, only to be hit with "Sorry, we're over the government limit and can't fulfill your search"

Hacker News and Stack Overflow would be full of people trading tips about using VPNs to evade the limits.

People don't actually like having the government restrict them from using things they want to use.

Look up bounded rationality. You might have access to knowledge but not to resources. Resources may exist but not enough time. Resources and time maybe available but not enough skill etc etc Obama spent lot of time with academics but didnt really pull off anything interesting. Herbert Simon - decision makers have to satisfice - either by finding optimum solutions for a simplified world, or by finding satisfactory solutions for a more realistic world. Neither approach dominates the other.

This is funny because I've never used Facebook for news. The only thing I ever found there was rage and clickbait.
I‘m not sure if that’s the scenario OP describing.

In my experience, that would be a company that spends hours in security committee meetings and then fails to react appropriately in an actual emergency.
I think that requires the moderators to be willing to do so, both in the sense that they are inclined to strongly moderate the group, and in the sense that they aren’t themselves getting an emotional high out of the ragebait.
They're starting to be posted, but it will be a few more weeks before they're all uploaded. There was a period for a week or two after juliacon where the raw 6 hour live-streams were up (it was in person this year), but now they are taken down because MIT requires all non-livestreamed videos to be captioned (for accessibility reasons).
My only phone for past 5+ years has always had USB-C port. The fact iPhones were different was the major reason I wasn't considering buying them.
Use GPT as a branching statement within any of your Python scripts
Hello, people. I am releasing this project which is a tool to branch logic according to GPT. Very simply put. The code is not very clean (I'm bad at meticulousness).

I am not releasing it for production use, but as a proof-of-concept. I could not find it elsewhere. I hope you will find it as useful as I do. There is "if", "while", and "match". All of them powered by GPT API.

It is true, I did not test it extensively because I'm excited to share this with you guys!

Hopefully, you will be as excited as I am to play a little with this.

Thanks
Yeah, both are trying to get the people to do their bidding.

And maybe that's when they'll realize that might not play out as anticipated.

That's a great link, thanks for sharing.

Big companies using the guise of safety, or fairness to extract advantage at the expense of an informed populace feels just swell.

It's fun to look up how many of the "Canadian" major media groups are owned by the US, and to what degree, how much.

We’re closer to flat [1]. That said, your broader point stands: the energy intensity of American GDP is falling [2].

My point is relying on that trend continuing is akin to relying on the promise of fusion. Worth pursuing. But unlikely to yield to brute effort the way cleaning up primary production and transport can.

As an American, living abroad was one of the biggest eye opening experiences to seeing how messed up our law enforcement system is here. I don’t think it’s as much desensitization (which is part of it) as portraying law enforcement as “can do no wrong” heroes in our media and culture. It really skews public perception and results in a lot of people turning a blind eye… until they are the ones affected.
Still a step forward. Right now Reddit is like facebook messenger, doesn't interact with anything. If it goes away, it's 100% gone. If your phone carrier disappears, you might have to change your number but you could still text anyone in your phonebook.

There's always the paralysis of waiting for the next model. But the M2 Studio was only announced at the end of June, and now we're looking at the M3 coming out just a few months later.

That's annoying, not just selling, but announcing and releasing high end computers that you know will be superseded within a few months.

Especially since without choosing a base model, Apple was offering 4-6 week delivery windows. It's July, you buy a brand new Mac with a new processor on release day, it arrives in the middle of August and look, 6 weeks later, Apple is announcing the M3 Mac.
For the uploaded videos, perhaps PeerTube? For live presentations... could Jitsi suffice?
Indeed, their entire comments on this thread are just passive aggressive and sarcastic insults, it's actually impressive how much anger there is. I noticed this Redditization as well, there are a lot of anti capitalist comments on HN recently which I don't remember seeing several years ago. For a discussion forum about startups and highly paid software engineers, they sure are surprised to see where their money comes from.
If Kagi were as popular as Google, you'd quickly see pages appear "without ads", that looks suspiciously like what an ad would say. The problem is SEO, and it affects the mainstream search engine because that's what's worth optimising for.

For instance, Google product search results would likely be greatly improved by always showing relevant reddit posts first. But this would last a very short amount of time until reddit would be completely drowned in junk. (I've seen people argue that this is already the case, but searching reddit still tends to work well for the products I search for)

We can be happy that Google search hasn't gone this way, and as a Kagi user you should be glad that it's not a more popular engine, as the quality of results likely highly depend on that just fact.

In a way the ads-filled product search results are better, because at least they're honestly trying to sell you the product you are searching for rather than making fake comparison sites pretending to be genuine content.
That's an opinion to have but the Canadian people, through their elected representatives, have decided they disagree and have codified that requirement into law.

The Canadian people have asked their government to pass these laws and Facebook doesn't want to follow them. No one is forcing Facebook to operate in Canada. They're welcome to leave at any time if they don't like it - we all know FB talks a big game and won't do that, but I know I'm not alone in secretly hoping it happens anyway. Zuck can go zuck himself.
The computer science practice you describe is the exception, not the norm. It causes a lot of trouble when evaluating the merits of researchers, because most people in the academia are not familiar with it. In many places, conference papers don't even count as real publications, putting CS researchers at a disadvantage.

From my point of view, the biggest issue is accepting/rejecting papers based on first impressions. Because there is often only one round of reviews, you can't ask the authors for clarifications, and they can't try to fix the issues you have identified. Conferences tend to follow fashionable topics, and they are often narrower in scope than what they claim to be, because it's easier to evaluate papers on topics the program committee is familiar with.

The work done by the program committee was not even supposed to be proper peer review but only the first filter. Old conference papers often call themselves extended abstracts, and they don't contain all the details you would expect in the full paper. For example, a theoretical paper may omit key proofs. Once the program committee has determined that the results look interesting and plausible and the authors have presented them in a conference, the authors are supposed to write the full paper and submit it to a journal for peer review. Of course, this doesn't always happen, for a number of reasons.
Mark the function as part of the implementation of the class. Simply prefixing the name with the name of the class (as it's already done) could be enough. Optionally request a keyword.
I don't see what's the big deal, the saying is to guard against Murphy not Machiavelli.

Or go the same route as namespaces -- mark start and end of the class implementation code (can be repeated) and nest functions inside.

There are other options if we ditch the C/C++ compilation model. Though arguably that isn't just bad -- it's an extremely simple way to achieve separate compilation without requiring a separate (probably binary, compiler-specific) representation for compiled interfaces. The latter could probably speed up incremental builds considerably, but it's possibly slower for clean rebuilds because of dependencies.
AGI means an entity that applies intelligent judgement over general problems.

For the rest, you will have to be clearer.
> NHS so no money to be made by referrals afaik

I wouldn't assume that - just because the money isn't coming from your pocket directly, it's inevitable there are doctors that milk the system.
But you'd think bureaucrats whose job it is to assess the legitimacy of requests to the NHS (or equivalent institution in your own country) for payment might be harder to swindle than your typical patient.
You sure showed me.
Yes it does. But will Buzzfeed type commentary choosing to interpret an interpretation and present it as facts about the articles also be blocked?

I remember a facebook before any articles was posted there.

News articles were brought in explicitly to get the news crowd there, and keep them engaged.

I wonder how federated news delivery could work - anyone use anything like this.

I've not been in that industry but was for a while, the closest input metric I ever saw that correlated to success was how fast your tools let you iterate on ideas to find the core of what was "fun" and the polish it until it shined. Same applied to the art side of the pipeline, the more headache importing/iterating in-engine the more things diverged from render -> in-game.

Oh and how much publishers meddled in games and/or set constraints. At one point one of the big 3 wasn't approving games that didn't have multiplayer regardless of genre, got to spend ~5mo working on multiplayer that was totally broken until we got sign-off that we could pull it from the title.
