So the specific framing, since it seems like this matters to you, was that she asked why I was interested in the healthcare space, and I said that I am autistic and have to interact with the American healthcare system, which is doubly hard for me specifically because I'm autistic: the myriad confusing systems you have to interact with just to get your basic healthcare needs in the US are difficult for me because of the number of interpersonal interactions required, and because I am "high functioning" (which, to your point, is a "relatively new label" [it's actually not, but that's not an argument I feel like having right now]) I'm very often not taken seriously when, for example, I have a sensory need during an MRI.

I said that I was appreciative that she wanted to make healthcare better for her brother, because it would help people like me too. And her response, after hearing my story about struggling to navigate the system she claims to want to improve on account of my very real, and sometimes very debilitating, disability, was "but you don't seem disabled." I don't think I'm in the wrong for being offended here. In my mind, It'd be very similar to if I had said that I struggled with the healthcare system due to losing a leg in an accident, and her response was "oh, but I can't see that your leg is missing because this is a zoom call."

The fact that I wasn't, at _that moment_, having a visible need, doesn't negate the existence of a disability that occasionally renders me mute, or makes me so overwhelmed I lash out at the people around me, or causes me actual physical pain. And mind you, I _was_ stimming; out of necessity many autistic folks who work in professional environments find stims that are relatively invisible on camera or in person in order to help us get through social interactions without losing our minds. It wasn't visible to her, but that doesn't change the reality of my story and my situation.

That's not "completely unhelpful" - if your current job is $99k/yr or $400k/yr it answers your "should I bother spending time interviewing here?" question quite nicely.

This reply comes off as needlessly rude, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it's just intent not coming across well via text.

In the context of the comment to which you're replying[0] I'm not sure how else to take your comment. OK, you don't like HN's UX, that's either a comment on SSR and on topic for the thread, or completely unrelated.

> HN as a site is a perfect example of how bad a SSR experience can be.

This is a great ending line if the things you list before it would automatically be better under CSR, or are only capable of being fixed by moving HN to CSR. So, it seems pretty natural to me to assume that you're saying those things (reply notifications, typography, losing position on a reply) would be better under CSR, which is not necessarily the case.

At what point is someone 'allowed' to criticize an author's approach and point out another that would have made their struggle shorter?

Accusations of gatekeeping should be accompanied with evidence of malice if they are to be taken seriously. Correcting (or, more like augmenting) someone speaking authoritatively on something is not gatekeeping. Also, gatekeeping has a social value, when used at the right time in the right circumstances. Bouncers literally keep the gate at a venue. Relevant experience in a given field is often necessary to have high-level (or in-depth) conversations about something within said field. If you have a group of people comparing sorting algorithms and some dude rolls up to offer his opinion without even understanding what a sorting algorithm is, would you 'appreciate' their uninformed and uninsightful take on something, lacking the shared knowledge of your group? Or would you rather clarify where the guy is wrong, refer him to a resource, and tell him to come back when he knows a bit more about what he's talking about?

Don't get hung up on details here. It's not about sorting algorithms. It's about 'deep knowledge' in a field needing to be shared to elevate discussion, for lack of a better descriptor.

Gatekeeping becomes a problem when it's mean, when it isn't helping anyone learn more, and when it's not protecting a culture or improving discussion in any meaningful way. Helping newbies learn from better sources is arguably gatekeeping -- it's just not considered harmful.

In N. Stephenson's Seveneves, a major plot point was that sufficient falling debris can superheat the atmosphere. Granted, we've orbited a trivial fraction of the Moon's mass, but have we orbited enough material to cause any warming to the atmosphere upon re-entry? Are we many orders of magnitude away?

I'm frankly not even sure how to napkin math such a question.
The underlying OS could already do faxes (by treating them as a special case of printers and popping open an OS-controlled dialog to accept phone number &c). But Word bypassing all of that with its own fax drivers and protocols meant it could provide a full UX for the end-to-end of faxing (including, probably most importantly, scripting the fax send so you could merge from a phone number database)... At the added complexity of replicating an entire feature the OS already offered a slightly different way.
> If anything, I'd say that with server rendering, separating different modules is easier. You want to rewrite that page? No problems.

It also gets you vastly more choice in language/tooling/etc, even allowing a mixture of different ones, which is what attracts me to SSR. Of course this may change in the future once WebAssembly has had most of the DOM interop overhead optimized away, bringing this freedom to CSR.
So, the "coffee" in this study is an intentional clickbait red herring. It goes through pyrolysis, meaning it isn't ground up coffee anymore, it's just carbon.

> Hawaiian Electric had no procedure in place for turning off the grid

I find this hard to believe. Substations have remote control. Even if they are so old that they do not, send out a lineman crew and open the cutouts. You have to be able to do this to do maintenance and repair, it's not believable that they cannot "turn off" power in an emergency.
> I've personally worked with many junior engineers over the years and it's really hard to mentor someone over a computer screen. It's definitely possible, but being able sit down informally and talk about something that's hard to understand, or unclear is much harder remotely.

The senior+ I work with are nearly unanimous in disagreement and find remote mentoring as easy or easier than in-person. Pairing is easier on zoom, it loses the awkward personal space issues, it can be recorded, it can happen quicker and easier, and in general just works (a bit) better than in-person.

Socially, I definitely except the argument that in-office is better for young people. I can't imagine 25 year old me sitting by myself working from home, I would've turned into a very different person.

They literally sent people to die, under the color of authority as working under county government.

edit: I'm rate-limited but to provide an a historical analog:

In 1911 the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire killed over a hundred young women working in the garment industry. The building's doors were locked by the owners of the factory to reduce theft.

The owners were found liable for the deaths of their employees, but the damages were a pittance.

I have trouble seeing "deliberately blocking the means of egress with reckless disregard for its need in an emergency evacuation for the sake of your own convenience" as profoundly different here.

That's a gross mis-generalization. I expect the community response breakdown to be the same to most other examples in history: most people don't care, a small minority are hostile, and a small minority are supportive.

If you like making art, keep doing it. From an economic perspective however, you really should consider if your job is at risk from being eliminated by automation, if you depend on it to survive. No hate, just pragmatic advice.

The writers rejected it over the residuals offer.

For comparison, for most of this summer, Suits has been the most-watched show in the world. When the show was still on cable, a writer said she was paid over $12,000 in annual residuals per episode...For the year to date, the same writer has received $415 (or about $830 annualized) (https://www.ign.com/articles/the-suits-residuals-are-abysmal...). This is even though the audience for Suits is now more than 100x what is was before...

I still use it, but very very rarely, and only when I'm desperate to get at least some hints (and I'm therefore psychologically ready to doublecheck all infos contained in the answer).
"The only areas where AI delivers the goods are spamming, scamming & shamming."

I don't know why such hyperbolic statements are being made. I still find chatGPT useful for example when I want to find something that I can only vaguely describe (TV show from my childhood) or when I need simple help (write function in excel).

Also I don't like AI and LLMs are used synonymously. AI is useful in medicine, agriculture, chemistry...

That doesn't work. He shot himself in the head. Was that his plan all along? Clearly that method of analysis has some problems.

That's a certain way of viewing history that I dislike. It robs past people of all agency and we never trust anything anyone says. That's way too cynical. It also has no explanatory power.
I agree. I often wondered if they recommended pricier products before, because some things I bought were expensive.

However, when they just were through amazon, they didn't have to have conversations with the company to get a commission.

What happens if they test something and it's great, and the company making the great product refuses to give them a commission?

If something is a good deal for them, will they not update the review, because the affiliate setup is making a lot of money and they don't want to adjust it?

What happens if they don't like the affiliate system the company's website uses, because it doesn't track cookies well enough? Do they have to call the company after the test and have them setup a specific affiliate system?

It just seems like a terrible idea and there all these conflicts when they are negotiating a side deal with the company they review vs just collecting a consistent cut from a large marketplace like amazon.
> I don't see how more money makes you sleep better at night

You can change it like that.....if you can get the general public to care. That's the entire idea behind civil disobedience, which has worked many times in the past.

The problem is that almost no one currently cares about this issue, or cares if IA loses this case. The disobedience part, on it's own, is extremely ineffective. You have to convince a large majority (probably a super majority) that the punishment is unjust, so that they push for laws to change.

I don't see a path to that happening in this case, so ya, IA is unlikely to be succesful with this strategy long term.

I've read whole "stories" written by AI (in the low thousands of words).

They're usually pretty terrible. I can't imagine a novel's length of it.

That said, having played with the LLMs - they are super helpful for doing things like bouncing conversations off a "character", or describing a scene for me, or just being whacky idea generators.

I think it's similar to the stable-diffusion side of things, it's going to make some authors more productive, but it won't necessarily replace the need for an author. (whether that leads to more or less authors long term is a related, but tangential, question and influenced by a lot of non-ai society factors).
> I'm still scratching my head about what he thought his endgame was going to be after the coup.

It isn't a contradiction for smart people to fuck up and do dumb things. Sometimes people just miscalculate and make mistakes.

Through the use of power and connections, some people manage to fix their mistakes and synchophants start claiming it was "4D chess" all along.

Really they just screw up like everyone else, but their resources often allow them to recover.

When they screw up big enough, you're left with "how did they not see it coming" "paradoxical" situations like this.
We used to test some installers on XFS servers for Redhat stuff. XFS need far fewer "corrupt drive" fixes that than ext4fs on those servers. (probably 1/10th as much corruption) and we were constantly just doing straight power offs on them (no soft shutdowns). I think XFS doesn't get the respect it deserves if you don't need a "fancy" file system like zfs or btrfs.

I appreciate the article's focus at the conclusion that responsibility for system design of the intersection is ignored by the bureaucracy. At a meta-level, I would like to see a system where citizens can report unsafe intersections for a nominal fee (to limit spurious reports) and everyone reporting the intersection is paid out X dollars for every fatal crash. At some point, the liability for the intersection would get so high that the system might notice (particularly if individual compensation was affected).

It's not even my biggest complaint about std::fs, the entire module feels very much not like the rest of Rust and way too close to the underlying libc (for legitimate reasons: they couldn't release Rust 1.0 without file access and likely didn't have much bandwidth to work on an alternative API).

Maybe some day Rust will support multiple versions of the stdlib (in a compatible way, like what's done with editions) but until then we'll have to work with this half-baked corner of the language.

So far, the only company I've seen even talk about the idea (outside of NFTs, but that's an entirely different can of worms) was Microsoft in their original digital entitlements-only plans for the Xbox One, which were ultimately scrapped in the overall PR disaster of the Xbox One launch. Their plan to try to apply the first sale doctrine to game licenses was certainly flawed, but it would have been great to have seen it at least tried and tested in real world usage and from there iterated and improved upon.

I think one of the mistakes from that PR disaster is how many developers and detractors took the message from it "people don't want first sale at all for digital licenses" and have let the idea of it vanish again from public discourse. (Again at least outside of NFT discussions; I'm also wary that the problems of NFTs will again overshadow public discourse on the one good idea that digital entitlements would be better with first sale doctrine equivalents).

I think we need to be talking about this stuff more because it also affects things like digital inheritance rights. Right now, there's no survivorship guarantees for digital goods either. If someone dies with a huge Steam library or Movies Anywhere library, right now the Terms of Services just about directly state that account ends with them (it is often written as a contract between the user and only that user and the service in question) and their estates and trusts get nothing. That's a violation of first sale doctrine. That's a violation of a lot of estate planning expectations. (Digital estate planning today "isn't possible" under most TOS and EULA agreements.) It's either going to take some expensive court cases, a smart legislature crawling out of the woodwork somehow, or a coalition effort among companies to better digital goods rights across their services. (The first seems the most likely. The second might be possible in the EU, at least, given the GDPR mentioned the issue but punted on it. I don't think the third is that likely because it would require a lot more software for fewer profits, things companies don't want to do without external pressure.)

I feel like these "tips" are from some kind of weird subculture I've never been part of. I've used 3rd party recruiters for almost 20 years and negotiation is always pretty transparent. I want X (which is more than I am currently making) and the recruiter finds a good fit. Sometimes the role is well above what I asked for.

Unless it's a boutique startup, I'm going to get into the role and find out right-quick what the salary bands are anyway, so the gaming seems silly. If it is some startup, I already provided the benefits I was looking for (and tradeoff for salary I would accept), so it doesn't seem to matter much.
I'm one of the "not everyone"s.

I've gone back to analogue radios, amps from the 90s, physical notebooks, old TVs, and even old gaming consoles. Why? Because they just work. There are no updates changing the interface, bugs to workaround (usually also from updates), annoyingly poor interface design to deal with, and the need to handle them with cotton in case they break.

That old tech is so good, it works 30+ years later. Can you imagine anything you bought in the last year working thirty years from now?
