If you have one open position and 500 applicants, you're going to have to figure out a "why not to hire" the vast majority of the applicants. If that is done in a way that isn't quantifiable you're going to get a hiring discrimination lawsuit some of the time.

Spending 30 minutes per applicant gives way too much time commitment for the people doing the interview and way too long "candidate applied" and "narrowed down to less than five people" such that the best candidates have found a new job weeks before you're at that point.

This isn't the best way to hire people - its the least worst when factors of hiring bias, timeliness of process, and risk reduction enter into how hiring is to be done.
It's buried in the wikipedia article, but these stories of tulips being a giant society collapsing bubble "come from propaganda pamphlets published by Dutch Calvinists worried that the tulip-propelled consumerism boom would lead to societal decay."[1]

“There weren’t that many people involved and the economic repercussions were pretty minor,” Goldgar [author of "Tulipmania" and a professor of early modern history at King’s College London] says. “I couldn’t find anybody that went bankrupt. If there had been really a wholesale destruction of the economy as the myth suggests, that would’ve been a much harder thing to face.”[1]

Quaternions don't specifically need to be unit vectors or points on a 4-D hypersphere. They are any number with 3 imaginary parts and 1 real part. Being a unit operator is a property of a rotation (this holds true even if you aren't using quaternions or if you extend to n-dimensional rotations), not a property of quaternions.

Many programmers sign this. I directly know that at least two FAANG employers (and probably all of them), have extremely broad copyright assignment clauses in their employment agreements that claim ownership of every software you create, on or off the clock, using company equipment or your own equipment. And many people work for these companies.

Whether these are enforceable or not doesn't matter because a lone developer is not going to go up against an army of corporate lawyers to find out.

If you start with people who know what MDMA feels like, I suspect you're sunk for the reasons you state.

But if for instance the placebo were niacin... niacin makes most people feel funny. If you don't know what MDMA or a niacin flush feels like, you might just know something is happening but not what.

And then you test people who don't experience niacin flush with or without a placebo to make sure that niacin isn't a therapeutic chemical.

Wow. I see almost nothing controversial in the McKinsey article. In a nutshell it addresses hard metrics (DORA) gathered via the repo tooling (commits, MRs, etc) which is enhanced with some outcome metrics, and they combine with soft metrics (SPACE) which are inevitably fluffy on the numbers combined with some other measurements to fill out arguable gaps. But overall, it didn't read like a manifesto.

As far as the criticism from the "ex-finance developers" - yeah, some of whom have done a lot of other noteworthy things outside of "fintech". I don't think it was overly harsh. In fact, maybe just focusing in on certain things that inevitably leave a bad taste - such as assigning numbers to human being's activities or otherwise trying to distill human activity down to hard numbers can lead to abuse - no kidding - almost a tautological argument.

That said, happy people with a shared vision and supportive management delivering a product/idea that is contributing to the team's concept of "the greater good" will always be the sweet spot for productivity.

I would lean more towards the SPACE metrics as the best way to measure, but allow that hard metrics such as DORA can be helpful as alarm bells.
Nice article, although the title is slightly off. The private key is not compromised (as described agent forwarding uses a challenge-response method) and the attacker can only initiate connections as long as the agent is being forwarded.

The thing I didn't know until I came across a similar article posted here on HN a few years ago (maybe it was the same one?) is that the White House panels weren't photovoltaic, they were solar-thermal for heating hot water.

Basically, Carter wasn't deploying some cutting edge and extravagantly expensive (at the time) technology that could be deployed as a high-profile technical demo but not actually economical to use, he was deploying a cheap, practical technology that could be used on most houses, during warm months at least.

If you think about it, for embodied agents symbol grounding isn’t really the “problem”.

Rather, embodied agents start with reference and indices. The hard problem is actually ungrounding — which takes work — to eventually get to things that approach what people typically think of “symbols”.
It's a control. A baseline. That's the whole point. And especially with the therapy trials they're running, its not like it'll hurt people to have been given a placebo (unlike if you were to say, trial an HIV antiviral with a placebo)

Interestingly, plumbing your house with PVC water pipe is not a fantastic idea and is not allowed under most plumbing codes. The specific issue is that PVC loses strength at higher temperatures, so performance at household water pressures with household hot water is somewhat marginal. Manufacturers don’t rate their pipe at all above 140 degrees F. Having your pipe burst when you run hot water through it is undesirable, and inspectors can’t easily tell whether a pipe is a hot water pipe or a cold water pipe, so PVC is generally not permitted for indoor potable use.

CPVC has much better hot water performance, isn’t terribly hard to find, and glues just like PVC as long as you use the right glue.

(Very confusingly, CPVC pipe is usually sold in “copper tube size” instead of Schedule 40/80. But this means that many push-to-connect fittings work on CPVC pipe.)

Many people on HN are in a good position to understand just how good Apple products are, so they invest in them (both by buying products and building workflows on them, and by investing in shares).

Once invested, bullshit accusations against the company harm you individually, because the company has to spend time and money proving that some dude in France set up a meter wrong. Those engineering resources could have gone into making the product better.
I'm not really sure what you're saying, or what the criticism is, if it is one - but shortly before the bit you quoted OP links the code on GitHub: https://github.com/WebSheets;

And you can't really conclude they made a poor implementation choice on a report of completing it successfully (albeit too successfully even, too much of Excel implemented, and then fixed by removing that (how do you do that to your XLS download link?)) on time within a short deadline.

The takeaway is supposed to be 'don't get too attached to your code', which in some circumstances (not this one) might mean 'don't succumb to NIH syndrome, use an XLS download link', but that's not the whole.
Just don't use SSH keys at all. Anywhere.

https://substack.com/@rakkhi/note/c-40163543?r=1afqp
Not mentioned in the article, but if you add the key to your agent with "ssh-add -c <key>", then whenever the key is used to connect to another machine by the agent, the agent will prompt (on the machine where it was initially run) to confirm that the connection is intended, generally via "ssh-askpass".

In my world, I use this routinely, precisely to detect a connection using a hijacked session, as described in the article. It does not detect the agent hijacking itself, it only detects new connections -- it pops up for all connections, both intended and unintended.

I know we're all supposed to do defense in depth, but I confess to having a bit of a jaundiced view of attacks that begin, "first, become root on a machine in the target domain....". Containment is a good idea, but if you're at the point where you're doing containment of compromised root accounts "inside", things have gone pretty far wrong already.

My experience is unlike yours: VSCode with a couple of small files open uses >200MB of RAM--Sublime Text uses 11MB. ST also loads much faster, opens large data files without delay, and does search/find in the blink of an eye--which VSCode cannot match. My time and the RAM usage are both of value to me, so I have no difficulty accepting that those benefits (among others) cost me $80 upgrade every three or four years.

Enshittification/late stage capitalism comment.

I don't find this particularly surprising. This wasn't much of an extrapolation. I stopped playing many computer/video games years ago because I had a sense that monetization was going to suck the delight out of them.

Capitalism as it works right now demands continuous, ever-increasing growth. When you saturate one source of income, you have to create an entirely new one. We went from games that were complete at shipping to games with DLC. Then we got microtransactions, lootboxes, invasive advertisements, platform revenue cuts, forcing always-online, and now this.

I suspect their next trick will be that play time of games that use their engine needs to be monitored and they'll demand some sort of royalty for every X minutes played. Some day companies will find a way to monitor every breath you make and every step you take, too. The money machine must be fed.

As other commenters have noted, this is MDMA-assisted therapy. Controlled dose, setting, with supportive professionals.

But one interesting thing to note:

> Least squares (LS) mean change in CAPS-5 score (95% confidence interval (CI)) was −23.7 (−26.94, −20.44) for MDMA-AT versus −14.8 (−18.28, −11.28) for placebo with therapy (P < 0.001, d = 0.7).

The placebo group got better, too! What this means is that therapy for PTSD actually works! It just works better on average with MDMA assistance.
I think you have a good perspective. Would you mind commenting in the GitHub discussion with your thoughts?

> While it's true that banks can exist outside capitalism, capitalists generally can't.

That's not really true; people who own and profit from their ownership of the means of production exist in feudal economies; the fact that their ownership of the means of production is a sonetimes a consequence of rights associated with land tenure and, whether or not that is the case, not marketable or less freely so than under capitalism the capital, makes the system not capitalism, but doesn't make the owners of capital not capitalists.

Capitalists qua capitalists aren’t the ruling class outside of capitalism (though being a capitalist was also a subordinate part of being part of the labded aristocracy, and control of certain elements of the means of production was connected to land tenure), but they still can exist. Capitalism as a system is mostly a result of the non-landholding capitalists progressively leveraging their existing wealth to gain more systemic advantage (at the express of the landed aristocracy) than they enjoyed in pre-capitalist economies.

to be honest, imo a test drive isn't enough. I test drove a Model 3 (was given 30 minutes), thought it was interesting, and might have considered buying one. A few weeks later I rented a Model Y for 12 days to go on a road trip with my family, and ended up absolutely hating it. And it wasn't because of the charging - that was quite pleasant - it was the constant beeping at me for the way I usually drive. Plus, overall, it just felt cheap, not sure how to describe it. The steering wheel feels too small, can't stand the buttons on the wheel, wish there was a small vibrate motor to tell me I'm going overspeed instead of noise (or nothing). No speed limiter which I find maddening (adaptive cruise control not suitable for city driving!). Basically, now I would never buy one, and the original test drive illuminated nothing
