You can have this conversation:

You: Ok recruiter, is there a budget/range set aside for this position ?

Recruiter: Yes it is $x-$y

You: Ok I can work with that. My expectation is ideally $x+ z% <= $y OR "Sorry that won't work for me. Bye"

Scenario 2:

Recruiter: Hey, what are your salary requirements ?

You: Ok recruiter, is there a budget/range set aside for this position ?

Recruiter: <crickets> Or goes "No but I am interested in learning what is your requirement ideally" ?

You: $Market-Rate + %YOUR_IDEAL_INCREMENT

Scenario 3:

Recruiter: What is your current salary ?

You: Recruiter, I can disclose that but that wouldn't matter as I am interested in hearing if there is a fixed budget for this role already ?

Recruiter: <crickets>

You: If you don't know the budget, regardless of what I make now, I wouldn't make a move unless I am making $MARKET_RATE + %INCREMENT

The point is that don't worry about being underpaid by asking first necessarily. You can ask for a number that works for YOU. Even if it was less than what they would have paid, why should you care if you are happy. Yes, do your research and know your market obviously.
I honestly had no idea what it was, so thanks for the explanation. Wish I'd gotten your reply sooner, because I'd just have taken it it out.
That's hysterical. If I had my way, Apple would be required by law to allow fair and reasonable pricing, alternate app stores, as well as transparency in whatever bureaucratic decisions they make. They'd still make an absurd amount of money on their hardware.

I find it ridiculous that we allow a private company to act as regulator over any sector of the economy, let alone one they have over 50% market share in.
Note, they are tracking "updated at" on every one of the 27 FAQs ... it changes frequently.
Wonder how the current job market situation affects these tricks. Some of those salaries seem pretty crazy to me but then again, how else are you going to pay for that ridiculously expensive house and college tuition.
Flyover country just alludes to the reality that people from the coasts don't go to places like Kansas for vacation or really much reason at all.
> Since nobody carries cash, nobody thinks that other people are carrying cash, so it doesn't make you a target.

Thugs will target older people who are more likely to carry cash, they do some stereotyping other of people who are still worth mugging.

Also, if they notice the wallet bulge in your back pocket, you’ve become a target.
However, there’s a negative impact on commercial open source software. The more companies do this, the more the community loses trust. Fewer people will contribute to or adopt commercial open source.

Is this generally considered a truism? Has about zero influence on me, or with director level decision makers at companies I've worked with.
I stopped following the 24 hour news cycle a good decade ago when I noticed it wasn't a positive experience and affected my mental health in a bad way.

I don't need by the minute updates on a natural disaster that doesn't affect my life in any way. Nor do I need to know every celebrity's or politician's daily movements or anything else.

I'm fine getting yesterdays news today as a summary.

Currently I only end up in on a news site if a friend sends me a link to one and the subject is interesting.
You're spot on, and I don't know why people complain about "wasting their time interviewing" so much. Interviewing is both a valuable skill and a good information discovery process - as you mentioned.

If you are doing a lot of interviews and not getting jobs - then you need more practice doing them. If you're getting so many offers its boring, look for a way to interview for more demanding positions.
It is very widespread. You will see people in this very thread dismissing GANs as fundamentally failed, and hotly objecting to any kind of parity, even if they have to fall back to 'well ok GANs do scale, but they're more complicated'. I also have some representative quotes in my linked draft essay from various papers & DL Twitter discussions. (Another way to put it would be: when was the last time you saw someone besides me asserting that GANs can scale to high-quality general images and are not dramatically inferior to diffusion? I rest my case.)
Wonder if he faked his death. Seemed like dead man walking for how many RU aviators Prigozhin killed.

I think you are missing my point.

The OP said Siri et al. got worse because their creators optimized them to reduce compute costs. I’m saying that if that were true, then they should be at least as good as they were because you can get tons more compute for cheaper these days. So it isn’t compute that makes the various assistants “worse” than when they were introduced.

I made no statements about their quality in general, just their relative quality compared to when they were released.
IMO, Nomad was already on life support, putting a nebulous BSL on it is a death sentence.
Since many people here lack the skills to coax this into a non-confrontational exchange, you would say:

“I understand that you’ll need time research to give a meaningful answer, so let’s reconnect once you’ve been able to put together a range. Thanks!”
I forgot we were talking about SSH :)

But in your example, you're comparing different structures. "www.foo.example" is somewhat more clear.

"Zip Slip" was a term made up in 2018 (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17237295) for a class of vulnerabilities that's been known since at least 2001.
> The sirens are only along the coast. Not mountain side.

the better to lure sailors onto the rocks!

(the word Siren comes from Greek mythology, Siren's were "humanlike beings with very alluring voices, they appear in a scene in the Odyssey in which Odysseus" stops "the ears of his crew with wax so that they were deaf to the Sirens. Odysseus himself wanted to hear their song but had himself tied to the mast so that he would not be able to steer the ship off its course."

in latin languages such as Italian, "mermaid" is "la sirena")
The proof of the pudding is in the tasting in such cases. If you can't explain it to someone else then you definitely don't understand it. Ask a few questions and fragile egos tend to reveal themselves.
GPT-4 vs. AlphaCode: Comparing Two Leading Code Generation Tools
GPT-4 Vs. AlphaCode:
Comparing Two Leading Code Generation Tools

The benchmark - Codeforces programming contest.

GPT-4 Codeforces Rating is 392 points, improving GPT-3.5’s 260 points.

AlphaCode by DeepMind achieves 1,238 points!

Those who tried Bard or Codey will very likely agree that Google’s models and solutions are not better than OpenAI ones. So, what is going on here?

The secret sauce?
AlphaCode is composed of two components, not one. A Code Generation component, and a Code Integrity component (that includes test generation, filtering and clustering according to tests runs).
Done.

Captured consumers is another one. IMO unless it's part of the advertised price, it must be optional. If they cannot remove it they should have to waive it, by law.

The sunk cost goes both ways. The company has likewise spent a lot of time and effort interviewing you and if they are extending you an offer and you say no, the process starts over for them.

Especially if you have a job already, when they want to hire you is when you have the maximum leverage.
I keep asking for legitimate uses of 10k in cash but the only answer I get is that it’s none of my business. It raises questions.
It sounds like a great way to miss out on talent that can command a salary higher than the average, while simultaneously attracting talent for whom this is a good deal.
One more useful trick I'm surprised wasn't mentioned since -D and -R both were: if you do "ssh -R 8080 somehost", that does dynamic port forwarding just like -D, but on the remote end instead of the local end.

With Rails you're back in the low performance camp sadly, might as well go full JS.

I want my cake and eat it too.

For Go, unless I missed some new development, there's Kyoto and jfyne/live .
And that's it for Go.

Kyoto IMHO is more of a poc.
And live is not very appealing, you're back in complicated camp with it.
It is very FAANG oriented (and US oriented at the same time).
Mine almost always goes like this:

Recruiter: How much are looking for?

Me: Could you please provide a range for the role?

Recruiter: no, please let us know what you want

Me: relatively high but not crazy number

Recruiter: No, that's too high

Me (in my head): why did you ask me then

Me: Ok, please let me know what is reasonable

Recruiter: some number that may or may not be acceptable

Me: asks for a bit more if number was close to acceptable
I am curious. Given you have identified an underpaid employee and want to make sure to keep her/him. Do you actively approach the employee and set the salary straight or do you just watch closely and say yes to the next pay raise?
I'm not a doctor or anything but you're describing gallstones and gallbladder attacks here. Regular panic attacks will reveal an emotional pattern. Gallbladder attacks usually happen after you eat a big, high-fat meal and won't have an associated emotional trigger.

It'll feel like a Tai Chi master is doing the Two Finger Death Touch on the right side of your diaphragm, but aside from that feels just like a panic attack.

That’s almost the definition of kafkaesque.

Looking at the git history they did get decent amount of contributions

they are of course completely free todo this but it does feel a little like profit from OSS and take it private once you have enough
> Really good lawyers still can’t defend textbook cases.

In many cases they can, because while the violation is textbook, they find some unrelated technicality to have the case dismissed. The plaintiff is in the wrong jurisdiction, or filed too late, or too early, or agreed to a binding arbitration clause etc. etc.

And when they run out of all of that, they open their wallet and pay the plaintiffs to settle so the prospective loss doesn't set a precedent against them or result in an injunction that would order them to discontinue their behavior in general.
> you should always verify that before relying on this functionality in production

Yep :)

At said company where I was using ZFS snapshots for the servers I administered, I additionally had a nightly cron job to dump the db using the tools that shipped with the DBMS. Just in case something with the ZFS snapshots fricked itself :)
I know a lot of hunters. Fun and leisure is exactly how I would describe it. Do you really think most hunters kill animals out of necessity? There are exceptions of course but, lol.

There is certainly a place for hunting and there are certainly hunters who care deeply about ecology. I don’t see how it’s not a combination of fun and leisure though.
Ask HN: Why are Android apps so hard to use?
I have been using android for a while and still things like Gmail are still confusing to use. It's like there are two versions, the desktop and app, and getting the new version always is confusing. Why can't it be as simple as the desktop? on desktop I just go to gmail.com and it is always the same and always works. on android there are different versions and never works smoothly.
> Shelter and place orders are another funny one. I have a lot of fond memories ignoring shelter in place orders hiking and camping in the wilderness during covid.

I was thinking more about sheltering from tornados and hurricanes.
I do.

Worse yet. I recall Apache segfaulting inconsistently on different machines. Very specifically segfaulting inside of MY modperl code in a way that logically should have been impossible, but ONLY in production. And not, say, in staging where I could have debugged it.

I forget what the configuration error was. (This happened in 2009.) But I very painfully remember it taking over a month before anyone tracked it down. And when I tracked it down, it was because I was reading documentation for some other reason. I noticed the configuration mentioning that segfaults were possible if you did something, so I looked, and we did.

I was...not exactly happy.

There have been a good open alternative for longer than WinRAR have had recovery records. It's called par files and there are implementations for Mac/win/Linux.
I don't think that's what GP means by "legally binding"

When a company gives you a license that has terms written in it, that license is binding... on them as well as you. When a company gives you a document that refers to an FAQ that they can change on the fly to meet their needs, and make changes to it, that is a signal that they do not view the license's terms as binding on them. Only on you (the user / developer working on an integrated or derivative work.)

The license that grants you permission to use the software as long as you remain on the right side of this line, which we can move as we deign it necessary to move the line is not much of a license grant. I just heard it called "bullshit license" and I think that's the best explanation for what BSL actually stands for now.

I support Hashicorp's right to make money from their business, but I think these lawyers are in over their head. It doesn't make much sense to me. We'll have to see who gets a license grant from Hashi and how much they're going to pay for it.
I have a very simple rule of thumb that has worked exceptionally well for me. I never reveal salary expectations.

I learned this lesson many moons ago after not getting a job I really looked forward to because my honest expectations were too high, and later ending up in a situation where I got paid 70% of what a friend earned for exactly the same role because I low balled myself.

After those experiences I just say that if they’re willing to make an offer, we’ll go from there. If it’s a company who can’t work with this approach, I don’t want to work there anyway.
The point isn’t hardcoding those numbers. The point is that you don’t iterate on any multiples of those numbers (which we know are composite) and doing allows us to eliminate 2/3 of the iterations. It’s an extension of enumerating over only odd numbers, which eliminates 1/2 of the iterations.

Hardcoding those values is a semi-requirement of the above technique.

Try to learn on your own about the topic and then obtain an entry level industry certification about it. They are easy and cheap, you should consider them as an investment.
The hiring company will not check that kind of details with your previous ones.
Decent manufacturers still use best safety practices even when not required to. Volvo and Mercedes invented most of the modern safety tech in the 70s and 80s and use it on all models, most other higher end cars do as well nowadays.

If your car company only makes your car as safe as legally required, is that what you want to trust your family with?
The issue never seems as big a deal to me as others make it out to be… when a company switches the license, it is only for new development going forward. Any versions you were already using continue to have the same license, and you can keep using them.

The only thing you are losing is (perhaps) the ability to continue to receive free patches and updates from the project. This is no different than if the company went out of business completely. You can still make your own updates to the last OS version, and you are free to solicit contributions from others to your fork.

Is Hashicorp switching to a BSL any more disruptive to users of the software than if Hashicorp went out of business?
No, I'm not. BigGAN did fine on scaling up to JFT-300M with basically no changes beyond model size and a simple architecture. This is also what we were observing, even with a buggy BigGAN implementation. GigaGAN is the best quality, but that's mostly because it's also the biggest; as Table 1 shows most of the gains come from various kinds of additional scaling. (And this is moving the goalposts from the usual assertion that "GANs can't scale" to "they're harder to scale"; note the self-fulfilling nature of such assertions. Considering how there is next to no GAN scaling research, these results are remarkable and show how much low-hanging fruit there is.)

Diffusion models are only 'drastically easier to scale' because researchers have spent the past 3 years researching pretty much nothing but diffusion models, discovering all sorts of subtle issues with them and how to make them scale, which is why it took them so long to become SOTA, and why massive architectural sweeps like https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.00364#nvidia were necessary to discover what makes them 'easier to scale'. If this level of brute force and moon math is 'easy', lord save us from any architecture which is 'hard'!
I don't think you fully grasp the sheer inability of batteries to power a cargo ship. It is something like 50x too low energy density to work. Even with wind power, it is still far from being able to pull this off. Not to mention cost: The batteries will be many times more expensive than the ship itself. The whole idea is totally DOA.

It is going to be some kind of chemical fuel, it is just a question of what and when. The alternative is just people not doing their physics homework and being totally wrong.
The cars with more than 5 seats do exist. If cost is not an issue as you suggest, it is pretty feasible to have 4+ children. It is even easier if you are not aiming to have them born in a rapid succession. Older kids can ride upfront.
Hello, the person you're speaking about here. I appreciate all the concern but I'm actually doing very good! While working on Nix was originally a hobby for me, I am now getting paid to do it, so it doesn't have to eat up any of my free time. I have healthy relationships with my family and friends, seeing people every weekend. And even if I'm not very good at it, I practice playing an instrument for about an hour every day and take lessons weekly!

I also want to mention that I usually don't argue much about issues. Most of my time is spent on making concrete improvements to the ecosystem :)

Many places in the US, you can be ticketed if a passenger isn't wearing a seatbelt. But I think the point GP is making is that it's also not a primary offense in may jurisdictions -- you can't be pulled over for it specifically, but it's fair game if you get pulled over for something else.

Sure. Some candidates are extremely experienced in negotiation and know exactly how much they are worth. Those people should absolutely name numbers from the start to avoid having their time wasted. But those people also know who they are and know that they don't need to read advice about negotiation.

Most candidates have no idea what they're worth. Here's what I imagine is happening behind the scenes in your scenarios, assuming a normal candidate:

Scenario 1:
Recruiter: Great news. The candidate was happy with the offer and I didn't even need to ask for permission to offer higher comp. It's always extra time and work when I have to ask for $x+$y+$z.

Scenario 2:
Recruiter: Ha ha. This candidate has no idea what the market rate is. They must only be interviewing at crap companies. We'll offer the bottom of the pay band and they'll be overjoyed because it's 10% higher than they were asking for.

Scenario 3:
Exactly the same as scenario 2, except there was a brief moment when the recruiter wondered if the candidate knew how much they could get.
I don't think he had a whole lot of options on that. But on the insurance bit he did and if there was any kind of pre-arrangement I would expect it to come out. And if it doesn't we can put that conspiracy to bed.

17 javascript trackers is a solution to a problem, not a problem in itself. You don't need 17 javascript trackers to creep on your users. In fact you don't need to creep on your users at all. So the real problem is the simplest possible problem: there's no problem at all. So the 17 javascript trackers are 100% accidental complexity in the solution to a nonexistent problem.

Controlling how a checkbox animates when you check it is also a solution, not a problem. Problems are things like: users don't know whether they've selected this value or not. Users think our application is boring. Users are completing their tasks too quickly and we need to find ways to annoy them and destroy their productivity. All of those are the possible problems that micromanaging a checkbox's animation might solve. There are almost certainly simpler ways to solve those problems.

Adding an abstraction with thousands of lines of code is, obviously, not a problem, it's a (probably poor) solution. I don't understand why I need to explain this one.

The rest of it is suggestions on how to let go of your overly complicated solutions and find more simple ones.

The article, and most commenters, are basically assuming a fixed, relatively complex problem. Your point seems to be that experienced professionals should not work on simple problems. Okay? And you should wear your seatbelt while in a car. That has nothing to do with finding simple solutions to a fixed problem.
Problem with the Fn keys is discoverability: i never remember which functionality is available on which key, and you have to remember different mappings for different apps. Actually thought Apple's solution for this, the touchbar, was pretty nice, sad that it failed...
