"I haven't been able to find any work since 2022"

Are you looking for work or looking for a full time w2 job situation?

Market is down all around, but you might want to explore freelance or contracting if you haven't explored those yet.

Most metro markets have multiple tech recruiter/contracting houses that have connections with regional employers. Many of those employers don't advertise much publicly, but do use recruiters to fill their positions (temp or perm).

Provide the answer to the question I asked and we can discuss it.
I’d be happy to branch out, but if I can’t even get work in the stack I’ve been working in for some what, am I really going to be able to branch out after a few side projects in another?
Yes it was more than just thinking. However the firm commitment from NVidia was I think only $33.5 billion . The other $5billion was contingent on future performance (don't know the terms) and 1.5billion was for staff.

> Yet the stock drops 4%. What gives?

Learn to ignore short-term market movements. End of story.

Honestly, modern-markets are just nuts short term, there are so many conflicting parties seeking short-term profits.

On the professional side you've got the hedge funds, the algo traders and people like that. They pretty much trade fully automated, so if their algorithm decided to sell ASML on the news after their text analysis of the RNS or whatever then that's what happens.

Then on the retail side you've got lots of places where you can go punt with leveraged trades (CFDs and spread bets). If you're A-book retail the broker will like-for-like replicate what you're doing on the market. If you're B-book retail (most people !) then your broker will take a position on the market based upon their net view and their appetite for risk.

In addition to the above, the final piece of the puzzle is that moves in "hot" stocks are always amplified due to the sheer volume. Nobody (should !) blink twice if a FAANG drops 4% in a day and its sort of the same thing with ASML.
I get the idea, my problem is that in actuality, the leader is not serving the team. He is leading it and when a hard decision has to be made, the leader is taking it whether the team likes it or not. This isn’t the position of a servant. It’s a fake masking of the real power dynamics at play.

I get the same vibe from “flat” management structures. People can claim that there is no superiority in the org chart and that everyone is equal, but in reality it never works this way.
In BC we've had this for decades, everyone uses it. There's decomposable bags that you can put your compost in, and when you tie them, they take care of most of the odor issue.

CalPERS is only 80% funded according to their own rosy assumptions, even after a historic annual stock market increase. See top right of page 130.

https://www.calpers.ca.gov/docs/forms-publications/acfr-2022...

In fact, the system is so corrupt, 80% funded (of that rosy number) is considered “fully funded” for taxpayer funded DB pensions, so kicking the can forward for the remainder 20% is just par for the course.

The real situation is worse though, and clearly evident in the ever increasing proportion of the budget going to pay for deferred compensation schemes, whether it is the “normal cost” for this year’s accrued benefits or to make up for underfunding from previous years’ benefits.

> Imo large parts of the southwest and CA benefit immensely from immigrant labor.

I don't see anyone arguing against immigration here. We are arguing against illegal immigration / obvious abuse of the asylum system.

If we can close the obvious holes in our border that are letting 200k people through a month, I'm very much in favor of granting more work visas to immigrants and starting the naturalization process.
If the implication is that reusing bags is pointless, I'd like to point out that a so-called single use plastic bag can be reused many times. This is what I used to do before people started handing out more durable bags, and they are fine for a very long time. (Now I have a small stash of cotton bags, some of which are over a decade old.)
> Wouldn't it be more "efficient" networking if I could sometimes just use the mullvad app instead of tailscale > mullvad?

no, why do you think that's the case? presumably the mullvad client does the exact same thing as the tailscale client will do - configure a wireguard tunnel.

edit: it will be interesting to see how much effort Tailscale put into preventing dns/route leaks vs the mullvad client

Sounds very similar to Californians PGE. It’s run like a dumpster fire ($0.30/kWh which is ridiculous) and the system is falling apart.

The best part is the governor complains yet PGE can’t restock toilet paper without CPUC approval and guess who sits on CPUC? The governors appointees.
Tailscale needs to know information about your Mullvad license in order to authenticate you with the exit nodes. So it's theoretically possible for a government to ask Tailscale to correlate the data they've collected about you (like a client IP) with an authorized Mullvad license. Which, of course, they'd need to know represents your traffic from talking to Mullvad, which means you're not really placing any extra trust in Tailscale.

I would assume that Headscale could also support this functionality in the future if you trusted Mullvad but not Tailscale.

Probably the best investment by the gov that's paying off in spades.
Pay-as-you-go is more risky and more costly overall but it's not an unworkable system.

Since you clarified that you mean one specific state has this system, then I'd say the rest of your post is bogus too. Current taxpayers didn't agree to build old bridges or whatever either. Few people living agreed to build out the state highway system. Yet taxes today pay for their maintenance and upkeep and it's not some great moral problem.
Nah, I don't think saying my address publicly has any effect. AFAICT none of the problem comes from people who are actually aware that the address has an owner.

"Underpopulated" in terms of the GP's comment saying God isn't making any more land, yes. Like I said elsewhere in this thread, it's a policy tradeoff to preserve wilderness at the cost of a housing crisis.
It's from the section of the publication that is entitled: "Books interview/Artificial intelligence (AI)" (the book is The Coming Wave: "This is one aspect of the sunlit uplands of AI; the shadow side is largely what preoccupies Suleyman in his new book, written with the researcher Michael Bhaskar and ominously titled The Coming Wave."). Which based on your review seems to be a coming wave of literal tedium.
I get a lot of cold messages from recruiters inviting me to apply to jobs that are slightly less desirable than my current one. I've never pursued any of these, but I get the impression that are at least serious. nice to have as a backup, I guess?

I also used to get lots of messages from FAANG recruiters, but I never got the impression they would prioritize my application over the general pool.

I mainly use LI as a tool to track where my former coworkers ended up. I find a lot of people that would never bother keeping in touch over email are happy to refer you to their current employer.
Fascinating. It seems like the whole "don't think about pink elephants" syndrome.
> I don't doubt you're well intentioned, but there's probably more useful things to be fighting over. Especially as what you're fighting for will generate negligible incomes at best and negative incomes at worst. The last thing the UK needs after Brexit is a referendum on becoming a republic.

I disagree. The UK is still backwards in many ways, hell, they still have an unelected upper house. Getting rid of the monarchy sends a strong message and allows other reforms to follow in its wake.

I'm also skeptical the monarchy generate any tourism. People come to see the palace that would remain regardless, and the funny guards that trample over children. They don't come to the UK for that stuff, they see it while they are there, and they certainly don't come hoping to see a member of the royal family.
Mullvad is impressive; however, the issue with Mullvad ID persists. The proposed solution is a Zero-Knowledge Proof Authentication system. With this approach, Mullvad will retain your public key but will not possess information regarding the association of specific sessions with individual Mullvad IDs.

We’re talking about 192GB of GPU accessible memory here.

Or are you comparing with CPU inference? In which case apples-oranges.

How much do GPUs with 192GB of RAM cost?

Edit: also I think (unverified) very very few systems have multiple PCI 3/4 NVME slots. There are companies with PCI cards that can take NVMEs but that’ll in itself cost, without NVMEs, more than your $900 system.
Yep, people forget that paper shopping bags were a huge environmental issue. Just like the anti-nuke activists, they created a much bigger problem than they solved.

Show HN: Next9 - Stay on top of your on-call incidences via Slack
Hi All,

We are on a mission to “Make every on-call engineer’s life better”. As a first step towards that mission, we have built https://www.next9.ai, a Slack app, which helps engineers and managers stay on top of their on-call activities on a daily and weekly basis.

Using this Slack app you can

1. Schedule a daily summary of your Pagerduty incidents in the Slack channel. Use that summary as-is in your stand up meetings.

2. Get weekly report of Pagerduty incidents stats and details per your on-call rotation in the Slack channel. Save cost by opting out of the expensive Pagerduty plan which gives this report.

3. Upload a markdown file to Confluence or Clickup or any other docs tool to present the details in your on-call handoff meetings. No more manual gathering of all the incident details.

Please give it a try and let us know about your experience or any suggestions. We would love to hear feedback from all of you. It's completely free for 1 Team. You can comment here or write to us at info@next9.ai. Thank you for your help!
"Switch production to use atmospheric carbon" is a necessary step for this to make any sense.
Using reusable bags is so easy; yet it seems Americans are entitled to getting free bags, they can't adapt.

It takes me 10s to stop by my pantry and grab my trusty backpack (from grade school, 25 years ago) or to remember to put bags back in my car. My backpack is better at carrying heavy items (like liquids) and more ergonomically too. But reusing thick plastic bags (from pickup, or beach locations that have banned "single use" plastic) is also easy.

Somehow, personal responsibility is difficult for the majority of Americans.

Show HN: ForOurSchool.org, Free Read-a-Thon and Math-a-Thon Platform
I have 2 kids in elementary school and when my wife was asked to run the school's Read-A-Thon, she asked me how they could bring it online. Read-A-Thons are common fundraisers for schools where kids read as much as they can over a couple weeks and ask friends and family to support them by making donations to their school. Previously, the kids would record their reading time on paper logs and mostly get donations by cash or check, which unsurprisingly led to human error and a lot of work for the administrators

There are a handful of platforms out there that schools use to manage their Read-A-Thons, such as Read-A-Thon.com, but they charge a lot for what they offer (e.g. Read-A-Thon.com keeps 25% to 30% of the total donations) or ask donors for tips to support the platform. Rather than set up something with Google Docs/Forms or use one of the existing platforms, I built ForOurSchool.org and let the school use it for free. I added things that I thought the other platforms were missing, like leaderboards that could be disabled by the students, and made it so that there would never be any mention of the student's full name or image online (can't believe some platforms do that). Also, all money goes directly to a school's paypal, so that they have immediate access to it, and they can get reduced processing fees if their PTA is registered as a 501c3 (most are).

Thankfully, the kids and school liked it (donations increased by 50%), so this year, I opened ForOurSchool.org up to any school to use for free as well. This summer, I also added a Math-A-Thon platform and free online practice math problems which schools are scheduled to begin using this year. I may some day add fees for additional functionality, but right now, I'm happy to save some school some money.

Please try it out and let me know what you think. Here is a login to the demo site:

About Me: For the past 10 years, I have been (solo) running PubExchange.com, a network for online publishers to partner with other sites and promote one another. I've also launched a few other platforms that I've temporarily shuttered, including SomewhereNew.org, a personalized questionaire that helps residents in NYC determine where they want to move within 100 mile radius of the city. I am also currently working on building an EV charging network powered by homes and businesses.
I came to this conclusion as well but I don’t see it come up in discussion. We pull carbon out of the ground as oil, make plastic bags, and then bury them in a landfill for 10,000 years. I do not care about recycling plastic bags unless it is economically viable. If we bury plastic in a safe place, that is a very good thing.

Now the real problem the article talks about is the leaky transportation and disposal process. We chose to cut usage through policy and that reduced the amount of escaped waste. Plugging the leaks is a really hard problem, lots of design and engineering work to keep loose bags in bins, trucks, and barges.
Plastic production is hideously polluting. Simultaneously, plastic bag bans are a joke when everything in your reusable bag is disposable plastic.
To accurately assess the performance of your system, it is required to generate data that can help identify any bottlenecks. To achieve this, you can use third-party performance testing tools and correlate the resulting data with monitoring data. Alaz uses eBPF technology, similar to Pixie, to collect system data which it then sends to the Ddosify Platform - whether on the cloud or self-hosted. In Ddosify, Observability and Performance-testing are natively integrated, so you can view any performance bottlenecks in real-time without the need for correlating the performance-testing and observability data. It's all in one platform and there will be additional features soon based on community feedback.

Some of these numbers don't make sense. Unbleached paper and biopolymers definitely require a nonzero amount of energy to produce, so how can they have 0 greenhouse gas emissions? How can biopolymers have negative water use?
I haven't seen anyone mention what's in the article: they banned one type of plastic bag and replaced it with a different type of plastic. One that has a "recyclable" (chasing arrows) symbol on it but actually gets thrown out anyway. So they didn't really ban plastic bags.

As I mentioned in another comment:

I see QR codes everywhere too. But I never see them used , and nobody in my circle uses them. And the only times I hear about them is when people complain about them in Restaurants etc.

May very well be different in other locations (I'm in small town in Canada, just outside of Toronto, traveling to Ottawa frequently). I would guess without any evidence that downtown NY or Boston may see more use :).

> Who keeps the proceeds from the sale of reusable grocery bags and recycled paper bags?
The stores that sell the bags keep the money and must use it to cover the costs of providing the bags, complying with the bag ban, or encouraging the use of reusable grocery bags through educational materials or an educational campaign.

I feel like this isn't quite "companies get more profit". It basically just eliminated the old cost but didn't become a revenue stream.

Certainly it avoided the alternative where we switched to paper bags that companies paid for.
A friend has 3D-printed custom duplo and lego tracks. Not sure if she's also done it for wooden railroads. I haven't but I could really use some track pieces to adjust between common length and width differences. We've got several pieces that have two sets of track next to each other, and they all have a different spacing between the two tracks. Very frustrating.
4chan has an extensive list of rules; only the /b/ (Random) board is exempt from most of them - with the caveat, they say, that the moderators of that board are also exempt from abiding by the rules of who to ban and for what reason.

Even on /b/, doxxing, calls to raid other boards, complaining about the moderators/admins, submitting false post reports, impersonating admins, etc. is banned. On all other boards, even seemingly innocuous things like anthropomorphic (furry) imagery or even posting images of characters from the show My Little Pony (other than in the /mlp/ and /b/ boards) is disallowed.

Porn is disallowed on the majority of boards, and even risque images are sometimes removed; the rules are enforced to the degree where a SFW board (e.g. /jp/) can have threads about Japanese porn actresses, but you're not even allowed to post a nude.

4chan is quite heavily moderated and there is a whole team of janitors and moderators for all boards that respond to reports behind the scenes; you only rarely see them chime in like dang does on HN. For a while, even "share a screenshot of your desktop" threads were routinely being removed from the /g/ (Technology) board by janitors.

As for Gab, I recall they even ban softcore/suggestive pornography or imagery. It's certainly not the wild west just because its users are more sympathetic to the first amendment.

As I understand it if Arm does not list by the end of September the company itself would be loaded with $8.5 billion debt gurantee. Not end of the world for the company but a big incentive to list now.

Pretty sure I could walk through that area while praying and not get arrested. I'd do it by making no outward signs that I was praying. Therefore, prayer is not banned.

Also pretty sure I could get arrested in that area by kneeling on the pavement and meditating, rather than praying. I don't think "but I was meditating" would cut it as a defence, either, because what's banned is "anything that looks like protest, here are some examples".

I think it's the kneeling she got arrested for, which happens to be coded as "prayer" in our culture. In other words, she was arrested for protesting.
