Google has a separate compensation team/committee as well as separate hiring commitee, so the hiring manager doesn't have a say in this.

What I don't know is how much the hiring is 'blind', if they're aware of the resume or if they just get the candidates' interview performance.

This seems like a good case to make all of it blind. Once a candidate interviews they'd just be given an ID, and the aforementioned committees wouldn't know their gender/race/age/experience level at all.

It would likely prevent some bias, as well as protect the company in lawsuits.
Huge congratulations to the teams involved in this mission. Having such a large quantity of prehistoric asteroid securely in our possession is a wild feat of engineering and science.

Looking forward to more exciting news... this news is based on the "extra" material that was stuck outside the main chamber.
Even if you leave case out of it, it is not true that Foo and FOO are necessarily the same symbol, or even that FOO and FOO are necessarily the same symbol. In fact, the whole point of packages is that you can have two different symbols with the same name.
Wage theft has a different, specific meaning than what this case is about (pay discrimination).
One thing I disagree with is saying that EMAI is objective.

There's no machine learning model that is truly objective. They're all biased due to their, usually human generated, datasets. It's impossible to account sufficiently for every scenario in a training set, so these models just give an objective veneer to the biases of those that created the dataset.

This phenomena is well documented with predictive models for crime.

Many arrests happen in low-income areas.
The data on arrests skew towards those areas.
The predictive models are trained on that data.
Using that data, police make more arrests in low income areas.
Those arrests get added to the data set
Rinse and repeat.

Replace police, arrests, and low-income with anything and it's still true

For example: Company Leadership, promotions, race
Not parent, but Marginalia's list[0] of blogs is a great aggregation. I've also stumbled upon some webrings through some of the blogs (have them open somewhere among my 3000 open tabs haha).

We didn't have them we had non nuclear test instances and patents, and nobody ever scaled it up to use nuclear power.
The article mentions Guarded Control Stack (GCS) in Arm v9.4. Anyone familiar with existing CPUs supporting those extensions?
It's not unique, there's quite a few and I like them. Friend of mine I knew in Cheltenham UK managed the same when she moved to Gloucester https://metro.co.uk/2023/06/01/rainbow-road-artist-unveils-l...
I discovered a strange third place last night: a Counter Strike Source server in my country. It had about ten different people talking over voice chat. They were all very frank and cheerful, and it seemed like they congregate there each night. I’m going to start joining regularly.
I always wondered of pipelining/parallelization can help with AutoGPT-like tasks were a supervisor AI delegates subtasks to sub instances.
Initially I had a big grin thinking it was satire. But honestly I'm not sure!

Which I suppose means it's the best kind of satire. :)
You probably should blame the people which made the game? We face the same issue on Windows, too. Low quality ports from console to Windows (e.g. The last of us). So it is more about appropriate ports.

Valves native ports of games - CS1, CSS, CSGO, CS2 [sic!], HL1 and HL2 run well on Linux. As the famous titles of id Software? As far as I know you can still run the original executable from Quake3 but it is not a wise decision (missing bugfixes, X86_32 and OSS). But they went the save way and just published the engine sources.

And? Proton's own foundation is Linux. And Valve layered a lot of complexity away with it Linux-Runtimes (the most recent is "Sniper 3.x").
I would be just happy if developers accustomed to Windows stop supporting specific (outdated) Linux-Distributions with awkward self made packages. Instead they should merely publishing ELF-Executables, the resources and a list of dependencies - and the maintainers will care. And aside they could ship one Flatpak, made itself. Both things are done by Valve :)

I think most of that issues come from "training" from Windows, where just everyone does the task itself and no rules for shipping exist. And when a developer isn't familiar with the target system and porting problems are more likely. Apple does handle this different, they force the developers doing it in the specified way (you don't get a certification if not).
Long-term treasuries are generally not considered "cash." Short-term, sure, but t-bills are doing fine.
For bad managers, you don't even need AI. Just write a for loop that asks for updates with a delay of 1 hour.

Is it done? Is it done? And then? And then? https://youtu.be/oqwzuiSy9y0
Yeah honestly I feel for people whose jobs have been lost to automation in the past, but mostly because everyone else's didn't. If my job evaporates because AI can actually do it more efficiently, I'm not sure how much longer "work" is going to be a thing like it is now[1]. And personally I can't wait for that - but again, I'm in a privileged position where I won't starve immediately. My actual hope is that we're crossing a threshold where we stop expecting that people have to "earn" their right to stay alive through some form of labor exploitation.

[1] I'm basing this off the assumption that other IC jobs and low-level management jobs don't have a significantly greater cognitive demand than software engineering. I could be wrong.
I'll settle for companies actually paying taxes and getting punished for trying to get away with convoluted loopholes and the tax-free state/country scams.
This is what “6G” wireless is like. Lack of coverage is holding back wireless applications more than anything else and it does not matter at all if any other attributes of performance improve if nothing is done about coverage. And this is the only way to do it unless people invent gravity wave, neutrino or axion radio.
I don't think this is generally true. It's very common for US grocery stores to have freshly baked bread, and there's always a huge variety of prepackaged sliced bread, it's not just like sugary wonder bread or something.

You can also just go to a bakery. Not sure how accurate this site is, but it looks like the US and UK have about the same number of bakeries per capita. https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/number-of-busi..., https://www.ibisworld.com/united-kingdom/number-of-businesse...

Certainly there are some places where your only option is a dollar store that probably won't have anything good, but I've been a lot of places in the US and I've never found this to be an issue.
This is not how I remember games on the Amiga. Having said that, I loved the games and graphics on the Amiga. It just felt like a beautiful visual experience.
100%. You can pry my people skills from my cold dead hands.
Oh, nice! I missed that.
I suspect it's a way to dither with few colors, and possibly a way to render textures very quickly into the Amigas peculiar pixel format. One pixel is not a triplet or bytes, or even a single byte. One byte is 8 pixels!

And that's for monochrome. (Pure black and pure white.)

To have more colors, you add more of these "bit planes" on top of each other.

So if you have say, 32 colors and want to update a single pixel, you have to write four bytes, changing only the one bit in every one of these four bytes.

This is not very nice when you try to sweep textures on a 3D-ish mesh.

(But very good for 2D graphics with large chunks bobbing up and down.)

TLDR: Fiction about dystopic-vs-utopic outcomes from AI-management.
I've run Rook/Ceph, and I run Longhorn right now. I wish I didn't, and I'm actively migrating to provider-managed PVs.

My advice for on-prem is to buy storage from a reliable provider with a decent history of hybrid flash/ssd, so that you can take advantage of storage tiering (unless you just want to go all flash, which is a thing if you have money).

If you must use some sort of in-cluster distributed storage solution, I would advise you to exclude members of your control plane from taking part, and I would also dedicate entirely separate drives and volumes for the storage distribution so that normal host workload doesn't impact latency and contention for the distributed storage.
That would be the Devon "Riviera": Torquay/Paignton.
Still amazing compared to what was out in say, 1992 on the Amiga. (3D games wise.)
I brought it up because without remembering the name from that exchange a year ago, the similarly casual misunderstanding-proffered-as-fact in the post here led me to guess it would be the same person, and it was. Which is just to say that I suspect you have the details wrong in this case, too. That's all.
Going deeper, this is like discussion about "static types vs dynamic types" or "relational DB vs freeform JSON" and so on.

Having dynamic types and freeform JSON sounds nice when doing toy things, but at some point you're like "hmm I want to find all bugs which affected Component X and have been fixed between version 83 and 90" and then some structure is good. (Arguably, GH issues labels could be used for this though.)
We can study it, but won't get scientific results.
Totally it's a very solvable problem w not many variants.

It's unfortunate the USB group chose these particular labels. They're so ugly that you'd never want one on a cable, and they don't reduce to small sizes well. It's like they were never designed to be put on cables, or they never consulted anyone who ever used or sold a cable as to whether they were going to use it.

I'd have preferred something that could be depressed into the plastic mold of the connector with two icons, a bolt and a dot:

- default (USB2, whatever min watts) is blank cable

- 60w has one bolt, 100w+ has two bolts

- 5gbps has one dot, 20 has two, 40 three, 80 four

That way you avoid the uncleanness of labels and their eventual scratching off, while maintaining at-a-glance (and even physical feel) understanding of cable capability. It also scales to future improvements. Honestly I think this would solve like 90% of people's complaints with USB-C.
ah that would explain why the rendering is a bunch of rectangles. Is this a classical vga mode (320x(either 200 or 240) x 256 color)?
So in your opinion accountability means firing the person who got the job after the incident happened? Amy Hood became the CFO in 2013.
I see a video about muli-agent development, i didnt understand much of it but it was funny to see the agents had what use to be human job titles.

To get rid of managers you would need to delegate tasks it is bad at. Seems doable enough.

Fine tuning for empaty and social qualities also seems doable if you can certify, validate and gurantee it.

Human managers are useful to keep business logic dumb and stupid, AI would make things much more complex.

Also facinating is the option to say it like it is. There needs not be any hidden agenda aimed at promotion. The thing has tenure!
Like what? (Genuinely curious)
What about PID namespaces? (You can use those without using a full-on container solution like docker or podman)
I'm reminded of the story in 2019 when Google researched pay discrepancies internally and found it was actually underpaying more men than women for doing similar jobs:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/04/google-found-its-underpaying...
Yeah they did at the time for sure. When the A500 was released PC games were generally CGA/EGA. The A500 was way ahead of its time, especially when you account for how much they cost.
How old are you? Are you talking about Neo-Nazis?
> It might sound dystopian

It doesn't just sound dystopian, it is dystopian.
There wasn’t. Previously there was the British mandate. Prior to that there was the Ottoman Empire. That’s centuries before the UN even existed. You might as well be talking about a state of Apaches at this point. Or better you might just look at what was the state of the world when Israel was created. Commenter upthread is clearly displeased with its existence and claims that it was created through splitting something else. I’m pointing out that it wasn’t. That’s all.
Because it uses the same object for all items in the array. Luckily, they are just placeholders and aren't being mutated.
It’s a bit pedantic to mention, but there is #method(:method_symbol), and obviously &:method_symbol for some cases. Both of which give you a proc you could call later with arguments provided to it. It’s not “the function” since, it’s really an anonymous function, bound to something, that will send :method_symbol to that thing. Gets around the bare-method-runs-method and metaprogramming issues with current Ruby syntax.
Yeah, I really hate the "no changing titles" rule. I can understand something like "don't sensationalize", but many articles just have poor titles that lack context. What does that accomplish aside from discouraging readership and discussion?
My wife hikes in Western Colorado quite a bit and has helped rescue 3 parties over the past 4 years. In one case, a young woman (an ER nurse) was in dire distress for no apparent reason and fading quickly (in retrospect possibly COVID related sequela). Initially, emergency responders were going the route of a land-based rescue, but the Mini allowed the urgency to be communicated more clearly. The helicopter touched down on a scree field (but couldn't land) while my wife and a couple others helped the EMT load her. Docs said that she had less than an hour or so before long-term consequences or death.

Any emergency beacon is better than none, but two-way communication can be a literal lifesaver. I hope that the Starlink system is eventually linked into our 911 infrastructure and available to anyone with an LTE phone regardless of carrier.
Yes and no. It's complicated. For textured 3D games, even with 256 colors, the PCs with VGA were better. Wolfenstein catered to EGA, with 16 colors.

For smooth frame synced 2D games (no lag, no jitterynes, no tearing) Amiga was hands down better, but those kinds of games were falling out of style in the early 90s.

I have a very strong distaste for our based future, but saying ads are “paying to spread disinformation” is like saying joining the army is only for people who want to murder other humans.

There’s an element of truth, but it is way too reductive. Are you of the mind that word of mouth is the only moral way to grow a business?
It occurs to me that things will stay the same, or even get better. This thing will produce better liars. We're used to lying to our managers to get the support we want, and now we'll have an easier time with EMAI. Further, if you want less stress you'll pretend to have a deficiency and get lighter work allocated.

In 2.0 they'll catch on and implement performance improvement plans that lead to separation.

If I try to pretend this thing has good intentions at heart, I think it'd be great for some folks to improve based on AI recommendations where they can shed their ego. Harder to do in front of a project manager.

I would expect AI regulation to speed up real quick if it starts making middle management redundant :-)
But Soulseek exists.
It does? Cgroups. The problem is that Posix doesn't have them, so it's not portable.
I don't think I have grounds to argue against this take.

I think the definition of death changes over time as medical technology advances in its ability to return someone to "life".
The biosphere seemed to scale quite a bit before we invented synthetic fertilizers. I don't think it's so much a problem of composting not scaling as much as our supply chains being wasteful and linear.

Again, not commenting on the merits of this technology, I just think it's not correct to say that composting can't scale.
You have just provided links. That is not an argument.
The thing is, you can make a pretty good guess on gender just from word-choice in a resume[1]. It would need to be 'sanitized' or 'summarized' by a neutral 3rd party before given to the committee.

Edit: this is probably a bad idea. A cursory search on 'gender effects on translations' shows that this would make it even worse (assuming that this is effectively translation).
Confessions of an Audiobook Addict
I use Venmo and have never entered my bank login. I just have my routing and account number.
Thanks for sharing. When you read articles like the above, which suggest that those perceptions are hallucinations from oxygen starvation, how do you react?
Think of the censoring as comedy.

It doesn’t like Kanye music and will tell you to listen to the song ‘Happy’ instead.

That’s pretty hilariously dystopian and therefore quite funny.
But the parade of calamities since:

- cutting back on moderation: who cares?

- unplugging servers: if the app still works who cares?

- reinstating banned accounts: this is arguably a good thing but who cares?

- replacing verified check marks with paid subscription badges: wasn't verified in the first place so who cares?

- throttling access to news sites: who cares?

- blaming the Anti-Defamation League for a decline in advertising: arguably true but who cares?

I understand why NPR left but when I read the list of "calamities" there's not a single point there that affected me as an individual user. And I assume that's the case for vast majority of users. I understand people that don't use social media in general. But I never understood people that use and actually like twitter but quit because of these supposed "calamities" that didn't even really affect them in the first place.
@dang maybe the rules can be updated to allow for more flexibility?
Yes, everything except voice and SMS requires data

My guess without looking to closely, it's 32 colors, because that's max what the Amiga 500 could display at a time. Definitely 320x200 something.
The AI Revolution in Forecasting Viral Variants Before They Emerge
software is cheap and low risk, anything in the physical world is absolutely not.

taking orders - yes, but there are no moving parts or liability there.

for software you also generate N solutions and evaluate each of them to shore up weaknesses in the current, very nascent, technology. microsoft is sure to be going down this path.
Once LLMs replace programmers, the only limit to stand-ups will be computation power. You could have 10 stand-ups and hour, 5 sprints a day. Jira tickets will flow at database speeds!
IDK, I can see a future. It’s a one-man (for now) business, so minimal costs to consider. If he can swing consulting using the .cpp projects as advertising, that sounds like a good business.

Additionally, I can imagine companies investing and paying for the open source work to expand access to their licensed models. Use the same interface as people use LLAMA but upgrade to BetterModel, fully compatible.

Additionally, I could believe this is simply a build up to a future Acquihire, which is the most lucrative way to be hired.
Has to be satire, I honestly cannot imagine someone writing that Conflict Resolution line with a straight face.
Objectively speaking of course, NPR* has been trending downwards on almost every metric since 2019-2020, funnily enough except the income metric.[1]
Also the objective data from statista[2] shows the same thing, but from an earlier date: 2017. I'll list the yearly data points(y - weekly listenership in millions; x - year): 2015-26; 2016-29.7; 2017-30.1; 2018-28.5; 2019-28; 2020-26.1;

Anyways, this sounds too obsessive, I actually still somewhat like NPR and they're still one of the more sensible sources out of the "legacy media" outlets. My points still stands though: MSM has been trending downwards for a while now; And even though data might not fully reflect the overall sentiment, you also have to take into account that: population grows, median of age usually rises, etc. (*) It also needs to be said: it's not only about NPR and podcasts filled this void, which is very understandable since it's the same medium(audio) but more targeted, personal.

Some of these photos are just around the corner from my house. Weird to see them in Hacker News.

Some of the people who own houses in my area have started hacking off the painted cement and brought the houses back to plain brick. Even some of the ones who had murals painted on them for Upfest (mentioned in the article), it seems a more conservative feel has started taking over. I think it’s sad to see the colours disappearing.

When you are a top 10 company, will the IRS converse & let you know why they think you owe what they say you do? Or is it like the rest of us plebes where we only ever guess why their numbers are different & what fines we might have been dinged by?
The article says "Every year, each one is expected to generate 80 GWh of electricity.", which is actually only 9.1MW or 57%.
Well, that was a blog post, but they just released a research paper. And in comparison to the blogpost, they indeed added more information regarding the attention mechanism they used, details about the architecture, more evaluation results (Arena Elo rating) etc.

Not saying it's novel, but it's useful from a research perspective and well appreciated that they added new information in there I would say. But let me know if you feel differently

U.S. Regulation on RISC-V Chip Technology Could Halt Global Innovation

Yup, he gets it.
Good bread is something you buy from a bakery. It's made from flour, water, salt and yeast. The stuff you get in supermarkets is full of additives to "keep it fresh" and a lot of it has added sugar.
Just replace EMAI with MBA and you've got standard business training. It will work at least as well.
I mainly use it with some friends to re-balance "who's paying for the meal this time", so I just offer to pay the bill when my Venmo balance gets low.

Granted, this gives Venmo a small amount of cash to theoretically make interest off-of, but to me it's worth not entangling it with the routing-numbers of any important accounts.
Fact is, a lot of the actual ground-work of management is pushed down to the corps of front line managers and senior managers above them. So for example when a VP concludes a reorg is necessary and Directors have to figure out who goes where, the front line managers are the ones figuring out how to actually take on the new responsibilities, hand off the old ones, and keep the systems running.

The things mentioned in the article like stand ups aren’t even orchestrated by managers in a lot of companies and besides are a tiny aspect of the job.

Get real dudes.
> but the social and communication skills these companies value so hard are actually easily done by AI

Can you expand this premise?

It invalidates not just managers, but therapy, virtually any social function.
I would love that actually. Maybe bugtracking doesn't need to be intimately interwoven with git, but it could be stored as a submodule?
