What in the actual fuck? Are we serious with these implications that Jerry is suffering from the same thought processes that Nazi war criminals used to justify crimes against humanity? It took all of 7 posts and "Jerry from the Ads team" to become "Jerry from the Gestapo."

He's not at the bottom of some slippery slope, a husk of a human leftover from plunging into darkness. He's on the Ads team doing what he's supposed to: making money from Ads. There's a difference between doing something because it's "what you're told" and doing it because it's the right thing for you to be doing. The right thing for Jerry just happens to be a major inconvenience for Anil.

This is an oversimplified apples-to-chickens kind of comparison, but I worked a cybersecurity job where the right thing for me was keeping the firewall up, but Network/IT administration made it clear they found it inconvenient. After leaving, I learned a Network admin DID take down the firewall and that was a bigger inconvenience. Everyone ultimately wants the same end result and pushing your team's priorities is how you contribute; it doesn't make you "bad."

It'd be a bit different if Jerry was out finding children so he could kill them, dismember them and sew their skin into his clothing. But at least he seems considerate enough that he'd do it in that order.
i agree with your sentiment but keep in mind speed (slowness) could be a red herring. i find it plausible that while they degrade the quality of GPT4 in order to (presumably) lower their costs (while maintaining or increasing the price), they might add subtle slight delays to give the impression that the app is doing hard quality work.

kind of like that infamous android virus scanner app that just had a timer controlling the work in progress animation to give the impression of quality work being done.
It depends what you mean by alphabet. In the narrow sense (consonants AND vowels) Greek was the first language to have one - Phoenician had an abjad (consonants only), probably because most words had 3 consonant roots, with vowels varying with their grammatical role.

you know that semi-old saying "if you're not paying you're the product"

well it's subtly wrong but points in the overall direction.

the capacity to manipulate this kind of stuff, to sabotage ideologies such as EFFs privacy ideology IS the product.

governments spend money for this, it's a product from governments to other governments.

I've changed to that page from https://www.redblobgames.com/. Thanks!

Obviously, many comments on the thread predate this change, but there's enough context here for readers to figure that out, and hopefully we can get a more specific discussion going.
The other poster already explained the old permission. There's also a new permission specifically for Bluetooth LE now as well for newer devices so location shouldn't be needed.

> Because you're jesus smuggling

I honestly don't even know what that means.

Also attacking me doesn't help your argument - it makes you look like you already know you don't have anything productive to add, so you just attack me instead of productively discussing the topic at hand.

> If "being paid less tomorrow" is caused by inflation, wouldn't it make more sense to tackle the root causes of inflation?

Are you suggesting the US should just have 0 inflation? White I'm not an expert, I believe economists consider inflation to be a good and healthy thing for an economy.
Also no country or economy in the world has ever had 0 inflation, so you're talking about doing something that has never been done before. Seems odd.

> Idk maybe we should instead:

- Get rid of minimum wage

- Get rid of excessive OSHA, SEC, FDA, EPA, FTC rules etc

- Maybe we don't an extra 80,000 IRS agents.

- Since its not the cold war anymore, maybe we don't 18 different intelligence agencies

- Maybe we should replace all welfare and entitlements with an "essentials" program where "if your poor, you failed but we help you not starve or die of a treatable illness, however it comes with strings attached".

- Maybe we should look into how the military is extremely corrupt and inefficient. Why is the F-35 built so many different states, how did we run out munitions so quickly, why will it take that long to replenish it?

Sure, you could attempt to do all those things. How long do you think that will take? How much push back?

Other countries don't need to invent "never been done" solutions and completely change their entire society to solve this, why does the US?

You could spend decades attempting to do all that, or you could raise the minimum wage.

It seems like you want to suggest solutions that are 500,000 times harder than a solution that actually works. Are you actually interested in fixing the problem, or are you interested in making everything much more complicated than it needs to be?

An executive often earns 50x of lowest paid employees. Cut CEO salary in half saves 25 jobs.

I would say the CEO could still live comfortably and be proud of keeping those people working while adding value to the company.
Are there benchmarks or third party evaluations that you can share that support your claim? I haven’t used all these offerings so my experience is anecdotal, but I haven’t seen commercial offerings outperform AutoGluon, at least for Tabular data.
Effectiveness of term limits would depend a good deal on how the power and control is gained in the first place. I'm of the opinion that much of it is from personal connections, favors, and dirt that can be used as leverage. None of that would easily transfer to the next official.

If power is largely collected by the office itself, or the party behind the talking head, then I agree replacing them more often may not help much.
You are forgetting about the phased nulling. Military GPS has been including jammer detection in the firmware for a long time. I remember my handheld unit constantly annoying me anytime the IED jammer (which was waaaay more than 1 watt of rf) went active... 2005ish - it would simply mask the signal coming from that direction and continue to provide positioning data.
I believe that is actually a recently-added feature of the Hypervisor.Framework, not sure if parallels uses it under the hood.

It's also been in Docker Desktop for a few months now, thanks to that.
If you compile the code by specifying the target as native you could get around that limitation no?

This breaks about as many things as it fixes.

But the things it breaks are noisy, and the things it fixes are silent. So, yeah, sounds like a good trade-off.

Still, I have no idea what was going through the head of the people that standardized timestamp as local time.
Pick one and stop debating between two good options?
I never could find where the US authorization was for GLONASS signals. I imagine it was included in some kind of bilateral treaty between US and Russia. The program to authorize later constellations (which Galileo went through) was not in place yet. It's like everything they issued since then ignores that we were using those signals since the 2000's.
Works fine for me...

some github.io pages are iframes to the developers home machine or something for a tech demo that can't withstand many users.

But regular github.io static pages ought to be able to withstand millions of users at once.

an interesting use case for this once the compute is there is to basically allow for ai powered digital zoom-out. it could work by instructing the user to take several pictures around the target, and then you take regular pictures of your subject.

then, as you like, you can do an "ai zoom out" to get zoomed out pictures, no longer constrained by your lens or distance.

I imagine this to be included relatively soon, just like how panaromas were once a niche thing that became much easier to do with some good ui/ux. pretty much any modern phone can do them without having to struggle with lining up photos and what not.

one thing that does greatly concern me about the demo/site is that they have "authentic" and "recover" as terms. the result here is not authentic nor has anything been "recovered." it's an illusion at best. I personally don't like how they portray the new image as being equivalent as if the lens framed it in the original picture. it's not, as they show themselves in the later portion (near the end) with the text sign. seriously irresponsible framing (pun intended) to what's otherwise very cool tech.
I always got a laugh at Byte's motto: "A Small Systems Journal." At about one inch thick, it was anything but small.
Indeed, in some cases all you need is an antenna, a semiconductor of almost any kind (which can be improvised) and an audio amp. In some cases, it's all-in-one. My family used to talk about a brass headboard that you could hear Morse code from, coming from the local military base.
> The reality is they need office attendance to meet tax agreements with the cities they’re located in.

I don’t disagree, but that doesn’t explain these actions right? Amazon would be free to have a policy which was not enforced by badge tracking — leaving things up to managers and establishing a culture norm of in-office work with flexibility was pretty much standard pre-COVID. Surely the city isn’t asking for attendance records.

I guess it’s likely a confluence of factors (tax breaks, monetary incentives, old-guard management, real-estate portfolio losses, resentment toward engineers they perceive to be lazy) pointing in the same direction.
It appears to work ok and I've never witnessed problems with a static content on github pages.

Wasn't a priority. It was an active scientific facility, so the priority was on producing science. The site was chosen for being remote and shielded from the outside by hills/mountains, so it really is a long winding road to the entrance gate.

I can't really think of a suitable site for parking within say 10min of the site, so it'd be a long shuttle ride.
This doesn't surprise me. I would say I hear things that sound like gunshots (maybe 50% certain) multiple times per day. Of the times when I'm 100% sure they're gunshots, it's very very rare that a crime ends up being reported, at least going by the local police incident maps.
I love this red blob!
> it wouldn't just disrupt planes, it would crash planes if this were not even planned as a contingency.

It would not. Aircraft have other navigation systems they can use instead, such as inertial reference and ground-based VOR navigation. And where there's radar coverage, they can be vectored by controllers.

This probably couldn't be used to keep up with the volume of air traffic today, but it would be enough to get existing flights down safely.

For landing, ILS is still very common, and doesn't require GPS either. An aircraft planning to land at an airport without ILS will have no trouble finding a nearby diversion airport that does have it.

Even as more ground-based navigation beacons are decommissioned, retaining enough for such an emergency remains an active consideration.
In my experience the later. I have tried it a few times over the years and its never worked.
I'm pretty certain a bus driver couldn't do eight hours worth of driving in six hours.
> "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much."

This is a fascinating statement, and shows a (willful?) misunderstanding on her part: the pool of people who could do her job at a replacement level is not "other CEO's"--it's a much larger group, including, I'm sure, a great number of people who work for her own company for much less than the CEO's salary. The fact that other CEO's are paid more than this is precisely the problem, and evidence that the role allows CEO's to abuse their power to get paid disproportionately more.
When I TAed a CS1 course for a handful of years, I'd definitely say easily like 1/4 of the class would also end up needing a general primer of basic computer usage.

Ultimately, some people are just not interested in technology or using it efficiently.
I think you are massively underestimating the amount of work he put in, and his abilities outside of just this deal.

He didn't just buy DOS, he made sure it kept up with the best OS on the market, including Apple's. He also recognized the initial quality of DOS outside of several other OS on the market, which he learned because he was an expert in the field and made BASIC. He also Microsoft ahead of the curve at almost every point during the computer revolution.
I think there's also an aspect of computer programming having become more of a fashion than a craft, in many cases. game development used to be very difficult and people who worked in that field pushed the limits of what hardware and software could do. nowadays, free-to-download general-purpose engines make getting into "game development" extremely easy. web development became its own whole thing by means of frameworks and so forth, where now to get into it, you're more learning how specific frameworks and such work, rather than underlying engineering principles.

how many people who program computers professionally for big tech companies are "hackers", these days, compared to one decade ago? two? three? surely the ratio has only decreased over time, as more and more people get into the field for purely pragmatic reasons (income, clout, etc.) than taking part in/engaging with "the hacker spirit". for better or worse, gates have not been kept, and now things are completely different than they once were.
It would be nice to have a special way to scan a qr code in which the system reads the QR code for the app without the app being able to see raw camera data.

Based on the lockup alone he can't have gotten that wealthy. LNUX had a 180 day lockup, after which the price had fallen to $40-50 (https://itsfoss.com/story-of-va-linux/). That'd be around $6 million based on the blog post (36 million at 274/share).

That's of course assuming he sold as quickly as he could. LNUX IPOed right before the dot com crash, a year post IPI it was 9/share (at that price, ~1 million to ESR).
yes, but then if distributing binaries, you need a different binary for each SIMD width.
That's sad; I wasn't aware of that. I didn't fully understand or agree with everything he did back then, but I didn't wish him any misfortune.
Beautiful. This would make an excellent build target for a 'virtualized hardware' system in-silico.
I do not agree with their usage of the word "Authentic".
The stupidity of cryptobros remaining in countries where they can be arrested or deported, and of their misinvesting the funds of powerful people. Unfortunately, a free society must permit stupid to be stupid until they break the law.

Another issue is the teams who put together these crypto utopias make themselves easy prey by shrewd grifters who are able to execute scams through creative misuse. They need far more controls and foresight to avert disaster.

“How is your team doing on a scale from 1-10?” might be more valuable than adding up the number of minutes people are breathing the office air.
Unfortunately that's 100% because of capitalism.

We pay with our valuable time so they get more time to enjoy their yachts.

The government can't really solve this anymore, because corporations control the politicians and public opinion through the media.

The only real solution is, in my view, revolt. But the majority (like myself) are also way too comfortable to risk anything drastic, so the status quo will persist for the time being.

I am a firm believer that I would get more work done with a 3-day workweek than I currently do with my 4-day workweek. I already spend an embarrassing amount of time slacking off daily, it's not like I'm pressed for time to get stuff done in the office. I could easily meet my weekly objectives in 24 hours rather than 32, and having 4-day weekends every weekend I think would be incredible for my mental health and mood. And when I'm in a better mood, I get more work done!

One thing I feel like a lot of people don't realize is just how big a difference it is to go from a 4-day week to a 3-day week. Sure, it's "just one day" but when you think about the ratio between time-on and time-off, the shift becomes a lot more dramatic. 4-on, 3-off means you spend over twice as many days working as not working. 3-on, 4-off means you spend a nearly equal number of days on each. It's just one day of difference, but it feels like a major, major shift.
From open source documentation commits and feature lag (new features for DevOps are old GitHub features and even now include GitHub branding) I think it is impossible to avoid the impression that GitHub is active development and DevOps is legacy.

The problem is that Microsoft still hasn't said that officially and directly out loud despite the writing on the wall. They continue to sell DevOps to new teams and point to its "active roadmap" (despite it being mostly unambitious and increasingly "copy X from GitHub"). So a lot of companies still have just enough doubt in the message that DevOps is legacy/dead that they keep inside it and don't migrate to GitHub, because Microsoft keeps giving them that doubt. I'm not sure if it is superstition on Microsoft's part to not kill DevOps (it is an ancient team with quite a legacy; it's maybe Microsoft's albatross), some sort of "magic" migration strategy they want to keep secret until complete, or just that Microsoft loves telling customers what they want to hear and enough companies want to hear "DevOps is alive and in good health" for a number of sunk cost or emotional support reasons.
Need advise on job hunting after a long career gap
Hi HN Community,

I have been suggested to bug you all for career advice since this community has been extremely helpful to several friends of mine.

I have been struggling to re-enter the workforce after a long gap in my career. I have a highly analytical background having finished bachelors degree in Petroleum Engineering and then working few years for prominent energy companies including British Petroleum. My duties involved heavy data operations such as gathering data from sensors, evaluating well performance and generating reports.

After a few years in the industry I decided to go back to school for a masters degree. I obtained my Master's Degree from USC in Petroleum Engineering and spent a year after graduating to work for the university as a Research Assistant and a resource employee. As a resource employee we looked into how technology and more specifically AI and Machine Learning can be utilized to improve resource exploration and performance in the energy industry.

And then I decided to shift gears to human engineering (cough cough...awkward pause...you know... started expecting) :). We started with one and then followed the other and 8 years flew by in a second. Having promised myself that they will be my primary focus I spent all my time and energy with those little munchkins and this year we finally (whoever judges that "finally" I am watching you :P) sent the youngest one off to the school.

So here I am now trying to re-enter THE FORCE (any Obi-Wans out there?). Well, to be honest I didn't completely spend the last 8 years away from the field. I found a new interest in Data Science, likely generated from my previous data heavy job background, and started to explore the field any chance I got.

I learned Python, SQL, data analysis tools such as Pandas, Numphy, Scikit-Learn, data visualization tools such as Tableau, Matplotlib, Plotly and Seaborn. I also completed a Data Engineering boot camp offered by Per Scholas and currently in-progress with Google Data Analytics course at Coursera.

Looks like most of the positions out there require a substantial or at least few years of experience in data science and I have not been receiving responses from any jobs that I have submitted applications for (I have applied to many).

I have been suggested "to make my resume more impressive" which I don't feel comfortable about. I would really appreciate your guidance, suggestions, directions, help (whatever you have to offer). I sincerely appreciate your time!!!

Think Deeply, Then Forget: why disruptions boost creativity
It's the article that makes this claim.

I see, I think they're just broken for me in general.

Alternate take: ESR wrote a very long effortpost at a time when effortposts of any kind were, like, "get an ISBN number for it" novelties, and so found himself in a privileged position with respect to communicating about an open source movement he himself had practically nothing to do with creating. That post doesn't hold up well today (it's most famous claim has become a running joke). If CATB hadn't been written, some other effortpost would have served precisely the same utility, and open source would have continued along the same timeline. Mozilla didn't happen any faster because of ESR --- even if there are Mozilla people who disagree (I don't know that there are).
