It's not useful for commentators to dismiss OP's concerns about losing their LinkedIn account. Just because it has never been helpful to you, doesn't mean it isn't helpful or important to others. And it is true that recruiters heavily use LinkedIn to source or validate candidates, especially ones who operate in client facing roles. We should focus on trying to help this guy find resolution or alternatives.

Onto LinkedIn customer support, Premium users have access to online chat (crazy that support is tiered like this, but I digress...) and that is reputably the best way to restore suspended or banned accounts. Not sure how you get from banned to paid, but that the best route in.
Anyone you know of working on privacy preserving RAG pipelines or API access to contextual information?
At least where I live, there are no seafaring pirates. Unfortunately where I live, there is 0 police response for anything but immediate threats to life. Even if you have an AirTag or Tile on something and know where it's been stolen to, the police do not respond at all. Former police from this area say they prefer not live here or bring their family here because of the shortage and lack of prosecution for even violent assault.

Anyone who lives on a boat, how do you get used to the constant motion? It doesn't make me motion sick but it messes with my equilibrium.
yeah I agree it is a bit silly. Better to say “cut down your dev time from weeks to a single weekend” because that would be be believable
Have an American model Android phone. Used it in Mexico, the US and Ireland. In all places it used GLONASS, GPS and Galileo equally (assuming equal satellite visibility, of course).
The trade off that you are interested in isn't about storing vectors, but rather about whether an index should be a part of the DBMS or external to it.

Some advantages of having a separate index is that it can work with different backends, it can be independently scaled, and it can index data for more than 1 database server.

Some disadvantages are increased latency, increased complexity, and distributed system problems.
It's a bit sad that we still see these kind of posts (no offense to OP, we all need to eat), but linked in is a cesspool of spam, and relying on it or even being eerie of not using it is demeaning.

How did we get to rely on a _platform_ in order to feed ourselves and our possible children or cats? (with so many options available)

the recruiters which _rely_ on a linked in link or on a PDF are usually generic anyway, mostly...
I was thinking on the same lines but we have Mastodon and Fediverse today that still need to grow beyond the techies of the world and include business folks or even recruiters. A supply and demand use case.

> OP didn't say they engaged in no activity, they just didn't know why they got banned. OP probably did/said all sorts of things that would have justified it.

It's possible, but I felt like voicing the general concern regardless because at least some of these random permaban stories seem to be true.
Boox has been selling an e-paper based screen[1] for a little while now. Would be curious to hear how this compares

I've enjoyed my Onyx Boox tablet; it's a little bigger than a A4 sheet of paper, which is perfect for sheet music, which is my primary use case

Thanks. I didn't know it. Microsoft is still a monopoly on desktop OS, even after this anti-trust investigation. To me, that's weird. Anti-trust didn't work?
Tangential but I hope this HN thread is the origin story of the next LinkedIn killer by OP, in typical HN fashion.
On twitter there was talk that the real cost here is Dish admitting fault.

As that is reportedly going to cause a noticable increase in their future launch insurance costs.

That is the big thing here in addition to the fine.
I have a portable monitor that is very useful when I'm teaching while traveling.

I've often thought that an e ink monitor would be a nice forcing function for productivity. Similar to how a Kindle forces me to read rather than get distracted by other apps.
"but I'm not sure that Peter was ready to be having those conversations at that age."

If he was raised in a open manner like this before(I don't know that), then I don't think this would have been a problem. Children understand way more, than most people usually asume. Sexuality is something natural. Only when it is taboo, talking about it directly can create psychological pressure that could indeed cause harm, as then they don't know how to deal with the situation. So having those conversations with someone who was raised in a monastery before could indeed be troublesome - or liberating, if the boy is glad he finally found someone who he can speak openly about things, no one else would dare to explain.

> that some people "deserve" being paid for being lucky born with an interesting voice

Majority of success is attained like this though. Athletes paid for being born strong tall and fast, models paid for being pretty, rich families being paid for being born rich, smart people being paid for being born smart, or hardworking, etc. It's the most dominant factor everywhere.
A large combination of dark patterns have contributed to Chrome's market share. (to name just one: Installing Flash for Firefox or Internet Explorer? Get Chrome installed at the same time (which, guess what, doesn't even need the Flash plugin you just installed, because it embeds its own))
Because it’s convenient for 99% of people 99% of the time. OP’s case is an exception. Moreover, we don’t know why OP has been really banned, it could have been justified.

That aside, you just go to Indeed and apply to a job. It’s that easy. LinkedIn isn’t a requirement.
I could imagine a few professional uses which are less creepy. Students/teachers, comedians, legal/medical dictation.

I think the real power would be if it is wired up to an appropriately accurate text to speech engine and dumped to a searchable database. I have been blown away by how good Whisper is, but that requires too much technical expertise for the population. Having that workflow in a packaged product would be worth something not otherwise met by existing recorders.
I just grab a sheet of paper, scoop them up, take them outside, then squish as they go into the trash. They’re usually quite content to just walk up onto the paper and go for a ride.
Are there any DB that could support both use cases while being able to partition them in such a way that the transactions etc are only kept on part of the resources they need to be. Basically two seperated DBs but sharing the same interfaces and security etc.
True, you do get really amazing deals. I often see them on arstechnica and other sites. We get pretty much nothing in that sense.

super interesting. it also seems like there are tons of tidally locked planets.
Just create a profile on Dice instead. Recruiters have been contacting me from there a bunch lately. I am getting interviews and accepted an offer for jobs in languages I have never even written in.

What all these job profile places lack is a way to specify negative skills, such as things you aren’t qualified in. I don’t want to touch React or Angular or such and have never written Java yet people contacting me about those jobs, because it seems many places are hurting for technical competencies irrespective of tech stack. If a place is too excited, like falling over themselves, to talk about their tech stack they can continue and wait for somebody other than me.
Goroutines was the selling point for me until they decided to introduce telemetry in their toolchain; that was what forced me to stop using Golang as a whole.

About GC, I would say: if you implement C++'s RAII mechanism to replace garbage collection, then I believe this project will have a bright future.

My final question is the following: how `pcz` compares to V language, from a syntax's perspective [1]?

This looks fantastic for a dedicated code/terminal monitor (or spreadsheets). The scroll refresh rate could be a bit disorienting for mouse-scrolling but would be a non-issue for keyboard-based scroll such as in vim.
No. DORA metrics are not related to application performance.
I agree about the controlled experiment aspect, but before we arrive at that stage social description allows us to explore a range of possible theories.

In any case, the language example used here was more to demonstrate the historic and perceptual differences as to what amounts to science, and that for some social science is not necessarily an oxymoron.

Edit: wissenschaft and wetenschap are furthermore direct translations, while natural philopsophy moreso indicates a field or discipline (akin to 'Naturphilosophie' or 'wijsbegeerte'). While this can be regarded as 'just semantics', the categories are subtly different enough, at least to a second-language speaker.
I forgot the scope were so limited in the US. Going back to the Microsoft trials vs the EU, there was no exclusivity limitation, users could use other browser, or install other OSes, the point was solely on what pressure MS put to be the first choice.
I think just as with full-text search, vector search, if supported, will be full of tradeoffs for general purposes databases.

The view that everything needs to support direct input for generative AI is short sighted. There are other use cases as well. Even if ultimately these will become just building blocks for whatever AGI there comes. Horses for courses

Their term of service states that one cannot have more the one account. Plus, right before they permanently banned me they asked me to upload a government id to confirm that I am actually a human person and not a machine. They know what they are doing. I do not know if it worth to continue plead my case with them. I have my dignity and I have done nothing wrong to be treated this way by LinkedIn. That is why am I trying to move on … I appreciate all HN folks with their suggestions. Thank you, all!
There’s just no way to know why OP got kicked out. The point is, we can’t assume it’s evil corporation at it again, because we don’t know what happened.
Instead of considering this a misfortune, think of it as a stroke of great luck. The very best employers & jobs have no connection to LI, and you'll now be forced to go for those.

Been working in the industry for several decades now. Never had an account on LI. The very few times I was asked about it replied, "I don't use LI." Wasn't a factor.

They were always known to use dark patterns, and now owned by MS, too sleazy to touch with a ten-foot pole. Good luck.
How does your comment relate to global replacement rate?
Just that forgoing tailwind it seems to me style attributes are the natural choice. But media queries indeed may make it less practical to do that for everything:
in my area, MLS very rarely has something unique that's not on Zillow already. And Zillow is way easier to use, usually has more information/history on the property...
Unfortunately I can't read that link, it seems to require a log in.
I don't think so. There would probably be changes to which things are lazy by default (like enabling StrictData by default). For an in-depth explanation see this youtube playlist (currently 4 videos): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyzwHTVJlRc8620PjqbM0x435...
Plot twist: OP is actually an LLM paired with an internet-connected python state machine, and has now discovered how to post on HN as a possible remedy.

(Sorry it seemed too timely not to make the joke!)

Hope you'll be able to resolve this, or find another way; I do agree that LinkedIn is a monopoly here and you should have recourse as an individual. Scary how Kafka-esque our techno future has become.

I think there's a classic fallacy here of confusing signals with proof. Admittance to an elite program signals (with higher confidence) higher competency, but it can never prove it, largely because part of what determines competency is emotional engagement, which can naturally change long after admission to the elite program.

You would think that there would be arbitrage here on the part of employers - find more people from non-elite backgrounds who are actually competent. And surely they exist, but they don't have a way to signal it. Application queues (for jobs, grants, etc.) are already incredibly long. Good luck finding the competent people in the pile who can't signal it.
LLMs are extremely useful for ML classification.

1. If you have a large amount of unlabeled data, labeling it using LLMs(even a costly XXXB parameter model) can be significantly cheaper than using humans.

2. Text classification works far better with LLMs compared to usual techniques like random forests.

3. We are exploring using LLMs on structured data(tables) for tasks like clustering, where it is difficult to tune other unsupervised approaches. Similarly we are exploring using LLM embeddings for similarity on unsupervised datasets.

4. LLMs could explain their decisions to users(e.g. why was your comment removed?) although work needs to be done on verifying it's correctness.

I wouldn't be surprised if LLM takes the spot of Random forest as the default go to for supervised ML.

I think they have, they are just not that well known. E.g. SQL Server - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/i... - you can also find quite a lot of papers by microsoft employees on the designs and capabilities (starting around 2016 I believe, so "pretty new"). I have used it with TPC-H and it worked wonders, never got around to using it in a production workload though.
If that freedom of expression is speech and associated freedoms, then yes, why not?

Perhaps there are anarchist libertarians who say there is no need for property rights enforced by government. However, I suspect those same people would also support a right to bear arms (without a government who except themselves could enforce such a right?) and, without a government to enforce the even deeper property right of assault laws, I can see calamity there, probably for you.
I have built a design system builder concept that can generate code as well. It's called ui-editor, you can check it out here https://github.com/imvetri/ui-editor.

Design to code will increase productivity and revolutionary bridging gap between designer and developer. I'm writing to you if you think there would be an opportunity to experiment my concept at your organization.

With design system builder concept in place, it can be integrated with a open source collaborative whiteboard project called excalidraw, which can also be used as a prototyping tool.

I add features to it as I get ideas, last year I applied to YC just like that, but didnt get selected.

If it can be said that a lens can perform a Fourier transform, then it can certainly also be said that the brain can perform matrix multiplications.

> Here in Dubai, it is not uncommon for skyscrapers to be built on top of an 11 story parking building

And that looks awful when you're up close on the ground. Some buildings hide it better than the others, but still the architecture of Dubai really only looks nice when you're seeing it from a distance (or a height). I even tweeted about that: https://twitter.com/grishka11/status/1595045771744780292

New York City is much nicer visually because it wasn't built around cars and is overall much denser. Manhattan somehow manages to look nice both from the streets and from a distance.

Standardized pay, like at universities and the military, has a positive correlation to retention. Though the pay is dramatically lower they bleed talent far more slowly than equivalent tech jobs in the private sector.

The only exceptions I have seen to this are military programmers with experience in Python and C lang or experience in cloud architecture. Those guys are leaving the military as early as possible for more than double pay without having to deal with beginner bullshit like tech stacks or frameworks.

Right, but hiring, building a team, getting them performant — takes time. Apple can do it as a skunkworks style operation, probably better than most other companies out there, but such an undertaking would be a multibillion dollar hole that I expect would be hard to explain away, even if it classified as “iCloud R&D”
What use cases exist for prenatal genetic testing, other than eugenics?
As an employer, I find it suspect if someone doesn't have a LinkedIn profile. Equally (or perhaps more) suspect is a LinkedIn profile which isn't up-to-date, as that can often go hand-in-hand with someone moonlighting.

None of these are things which I'd consider definitive, but as part of a set of factors, certainly bring into consideration.
