this is maybe the most ill-informed post about google I've ever seen on this site, wow
I think what he means really is that the Bay Area is reasserting its dominance across finance, education, and talent.

It really is the best place to be for startups given the ecosystem and it still really isn't even close.

San Francisco, as a small part of the Bay Area, is a bigger question given the problems it has with poor governance, but the Bay Area which dominates almost the whole tech stack is not.
So you wanted a hobby to keep you busy. That's cool, I guess "waste of time" is relative
There's some discussion of embodiment as an important factor in intelligence such that it would defy pure software implementation. I’m personally of the opinion that even to the extent this is true, it probably just means the compute capacity required for software is higher than we might otherwise think, to simulate the other parts, alternatively, with the right interfaces and hardware, we don't need that cheat. But “everything involved can be simulated in software at the required level”, while I believe it, somewhat speculative.
I like Loom, but once Slack launched clips and huddles there was really no reason to continue using it (nearly 100% of our usage was recording a video clip and posting it to Slack). Wonder what Atlassian has in store for the product.
No, the Hisense is not much faster. But these newer Boox devices are way faster than a kindle! (Though not as fast as Lcd of course)

well process groups aren't hierarchal. So if a child (or other descendant) process sets itself as a process group leader, so that it can kill it's children, it escapes your process group. So it isn't composable.
Last night, I looked into the night sky from southern California (not like a super bright night sky or anything) and saw 3-4 satellites going by. That used to feel so rare and special. Now it's like seeing airplanes.

It's not unheard of for half of Americans to collectively do or believe something both false and harmful. It'd be a mistake to look at something "half of Americans believe" and assume that means it's a correct assumption.
Show HN: OrmGPT
In the last two years, I found ORMs to be new "days since the last javascript framework" in the JavaScript ecosystem. And since AI is a hot buzzword I decided to experiment a little to combine both and create an ORM that uses OpenAI to generate SQL queries.
That's pretty interesting.

I imagine the reason it isnt used is because the surface is complex. Its not as simple as standing on something writing a number, standing next to something and writing a number. You need to keep the angle correct and make sure the starting location is correct.

Wonder if you could use 2 side photos to calculate it, or 1 overhead.
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi is probably under-appreciated, as it's overshadowed by some of the studio's more popular titles (including, of course, the juggernaut franchise of Evangelion). It's one of those works that feels inextricably linked to its setting; despite being another wildly imaginative Gainax series, the richness it draws from Kansai history and tradition is impressive.

A suggestion for Kyoto along similar lines: The Eccentric Family (both the original and sequel seasons).
There's a little bit of editorializing in the title, but Garry's basic contention is that YC is firing on all cylinders, and it's headquartered in SF:

> Jamali: It’s kind of interesting — so that narrative is there, but are you saying at the same time that there is this comeback happening, that maybe a lot of people outside of San Francisco haven’t appreciated? A comeback that’s being driven by the tech industry?

> Tan: Yeah, at the end of the day, what we want is prosperity. And the coolest thing in the world is that at Y Combinator, we get to see two or three people come together from any background, from any country in the world, and they have a fair shot here. They get half a million dollars, and they can go and try to create something that touches a billion people. And that’s really what we try to do every day. And if they succeed, they’ll have thousands of employees, and these are good, high-paying jobs in tech. And that will actually create so much prosperity for the whole community, that that’s actually why San Francisco is so awesome.

Not so much in the interview, but a common claim is that many of the most important AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are located in the city, so there's a bit of an AI boom going on.

For general context though, Garry's part of the crowd that's committed to staying in San Francisco and getting involved in local politics to make the city better. Whether or not you agree, he's definitely going to have an intentional pro-SF bias in general, which he'd acknowledge.
Isn’t the more important question which successful startup only hires in-person in SF? I would guess most startups these days have distributed setups quite early.
At this moment, I'd estimate a fair share being approximately $29 billion.
You were an exception and (obviously) could see that for yourself. Your doctor probably agreed.

The value of BMI in epidemiology is fantastic because it applies well for almost all normal people and is easy to capture all over the world.

The clinical value is weaker, but mostly because people like to rationalize that they too are also in exceptional athletic form. By definition, most are not.

Amazon hasn’t updated their privacy policy to acknowledge that they’re subject to CRPA, but any California resident may now demand that Amazon stop profiling their Kindle tracking data. Specifically:

> SEC.14.1798.140 (ae) Sensitive personal information means: (1) personal information that reveals (D) a consumer’s racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; and (2) (C) personal information collected and analyzed concerning a consumer's sex life or sexual orientation.

> SEC.14.1798.121 (a) A consumer shall have the right, at any time, to direct a business that collects sensitive personal information about the consumer to limit its use of the consumer’s sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary, [except] (d) Sensitive Personal information that is collected or processed without the purpose of inferring characteristics about a consumer [which] is not subject to this

Given those two clauses, it is apparent how to construct the necessary customer service request in order to require compliance:

“I am exercising my rights under CRPA 14.1798.121(a) as a California resident to require Amazon to limit your use of my sensitive personal information to only those uses necessary to deliver service. My Kindle reading and tracking data, as seen in my data request report, is sensitive personal information as described by CRPA 14.1798.140(ae) sections (1)(D) and (2)(C), revealing both my religious and philosophical beliefs and concerning my sex life and sexual orientation. Please confirm to me in writing either that Amazon has ceased processing of my sensitive Kindle personal data for non-necessary purposes unrelated to the delivery of Kindle purchases to Kindle devices, or that Amazon does not infer characteristics about individual consumers from sensitive personal information collected from Kindle devices.”

Consider also filing a complaint with the CRPA enforcement arm noting that Amazon hasn’t acknowledged the CRPA and that you’re taking steps to require their compliance, and update them if/when Amazon either complies refuses, or contests your interpretation: https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-busine...

This is a huge issue with the patent world in general. There's just so much prior art out there, and you have to be really clear about showing that it applies. This isn't a patent case, but I have a great Google Maps case involving Wi-Fi where a judge completely borked it. As for this particular patent, I'm not enough of an XML expert to say whether the court got it right here. But it is worth noting that Microsoft tried to invalidate the patent several times with USPTO and failed to do so there as well. So perhaps there's something more to the patent than meets the eye, or that is was novel at that time but not modern XML. Remember, the actual i4i patent at issue was filed in 1994, and it only matters if there was prior art from before 1994. It might have been novel at the time.
I tend to consider bullshit any point that finds somehow acceptable thinking that people is lazy, in this society, in this world, on this planet, ffs we have to work 40 hrs per week per decades and rest after reincarnation, and you want to talk about laziness? Let's talk about how any bit of mental energy is extracted to built other's wealth and then when you are too old to do nothing other than watching work in progress they just spit you out

when I am supposed to fix tech debt? if every week there is another functionality going out that needs to be done yesterday? Do you think that I have to do it in my free time? Why should I even bother existing
No, writing files is nearly as bad as writing to stdout -- both imply someone else has to parse the output.

If the logs matter -- write them to an API that retains log structure by serializing it.

If the logs don't matter, then they don't matter, but typically the logs are used for all sorts of analytics processes after the fact.

Asking someone else to parse your data is rude.

The below writing is just my opinion ,anecdotal and sour grapes.

Have been interested in this stuff for years. Did my CS project with NN just before everyone started using GPU's ,and a short DS course more recently. Seeing all the marketing people move into space with their prompt cheat sheets on LinkedIn while many tech people are ,ironically, locked out by blackbox recruitment algorithms is maddening.(This particular problem goes far beyond tech jobs though).

Some also seem to be mixing up DS and DE roles a bit, one of the few times I got an interview I had end it and apologize as what they were looking for was a data engineer.

Another was listed as a machine learning role ,when I got the offer it was travelling tech support and paid less. With the promise of undefined ML work later.

Some companies are just tacking irrelevant ML and AI stuff onto job descriptions.

Also so many live coding tests , and that one weird recruiter asking about "skeletons in closets"
> That doesn't mean managers aren't contributors of their own unique frustrations, but I don't think it accounts for the high amount of burn-out in our field.

That would require an actual survey.

But I would say that inexplicable direction changes and constant out-of-order requests are major contributors to these frustrations, and those don't come from the practice of writing software.

You're right, D&D is more of a choose your own adventure than a game which you are meant to win or lose. It's group storytelling, where you're all writing the story as you go based on what happens.

It's not exactly accurate that the DM can change the rules as you go. The DM will sometimes say you can't do x or y, but a good DM doesn't do that capriciously. When I DM, I sometimes tell players flat-out "you can't do that", but it's because they've tried to do something which isn't possible in the fictional world (like if someone says they want to jump so high they land on the moon or whatever). Most of the time, when a player says they want to do something, they should either succeed outright (because it's not actually challenging for the character to do), or the rules of the game will give a clear way to determine success/failure. It sounds like you maybe didn't have a very good DM.
yeah this is the actual point - it makes the code/app totally portable & decoupled from config. I find it significantly better than having to have the app code choose different config based on interrogating facts about its runtime (eg am i in prod? use this value. am i in test? use this)
The problem here stems from trying to have some universal utility values for acts. You can't say cutting off a finger is fundamentally worse than losing 10 pounds, even if it frequently would be. I wouldn't give up one of my fingers for 10 pounds, and I think most sane people wouldn't either, but here the mugger is willing to do that. So in this particular instance, the mugger is valuing the utility of keeping his finger at 10 pounds, and thus the decision on whether or not to give it to him is a wash. The moment you start dictating what the utility values are of consequences for other people you get absurd outcomes (e.g. some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make).
Why do I feel like we put more effort into vetting/interviewing employees than political candidates in the US?

Say we had to choose candidates like we choose employees, we should have:
- individual tests for the employee (actual aptitude in things like strategy, diplomacy, math & statistics, science)
- behavioral tests (how likely to lie/take risks)
- etc.

Instead it all seems to boil down to statistics-backed popularity contests half-a-step up from elementary school class elections.

How many cross platform applications have you shipped with Khronos APIs?

I did my graduation thesis in 3D particle visualisation and marching cubes implementation, based on a framework ported from NeXT/Objective-C in Windows/C++, using OpenGL.

Contributed to SDL, Ogre3D and jMonkeyEngine.

Also contributed to some BabylonJS stuff in WebGPU.

What are you 3D credentials?
I'd call D&D more of a framework for collaborative storytelling that can absolutely be played as a game. The DM leads the adventure, the players decide how to respond to things. Everyone plays D&D a bit differently.

The most straightforward adventures that typically have a "win condition" are one shots/self-contained adventures from either WoTC or 3rd Party Publishers, like Curse of Strahd, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, etc.

However, a lot of D&D groups I've played with might have characters die, but will rarely have a group "lose". However, because every group runs things a bit differently, a different group can drastically change how the game feels.
No, you got that backwards.

There appears to be a trend of listing all the prefectures and what's special about each of them.

Here's a depiction of each prefecture using characters from the Wojak universe:

Well, this one plays mostly on stereotypes (I assume - I don't know exactly), but still.
"Simulation first" is how I did things when I worked in data science and bioinformatics. Define the simulation that represents "random", then see how far off the actual data is using either information theory or just a visual examination of the data and summary statistic checks. That's a fast and easy way to gut check any observation to see if there is an underlying effect, which you can then "prove" using a more sophisticated analysis.

Just raw hypothesis is just too easy to juke by overwhelming it with trials. Lots of research papers have "statistically significant" results, but give no mention of how many experiments it took to get them, or any indiciation of negative results. Eventually, there will always be the analysis where you incorrectly reject the null hypothsis given enough effort.
It's just extremely hard to measure well. It's good in a research setting where diligence can be applied, but not at home and not when you're turning over dozens of patients a day in a clinic.
If you think San Francisco is bad now. You should’ve seen it in the 70s, when I was a kid. The crime was so bad it made the second sentence in the Wikipedia page.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_in_the_1970s

Honestly these things come and go, as they do in all big cities. Adapting to change, especially for large groups of people, is alway rough and tumble. I’m sure they’ll get it figured out eventually. Just in time for it to change again…

Also, most residents as Chicago disagree with your assessment of their housing affordability.

I think they accidentally created a perfect idea for a new anime called "47" where some character on a motorcycle or for some other method/reason takes a trip to all the prefectures in Japan, one per episode, to show the highlights of each location.

I'd watch the heck out of that if the story was decent.

And knowing there would be 47 episode keeps people hooked. They might even use some weird concept like teleporting or like "quantum leap" where they are stuck inside each prefecture for a day or week before they can leave.

See what I mean? It writes itself.

Any history of neck injuries?

I had rapid onset tinnitus (8/10 volume, both ears) a week after sustaining a mild neck injury. After a couple weeks the right ear resolved itself, but the left ear remained at 4/10. In reading the literature about whiplash, it appears that upwards of 75% of people that have whiplash develop some form of tinnitus, hearing loss, and/or vertigo in the weeks or months following the injury.

I went to a CFMT-certified physical therapist who noticed that two of my vertebrae were counter-rotated and sheared in addition to my left first rib being elevated and stiff creating an almost thoracic-outlet syndrome type of issue.

My PT addressed the neck vertebrae issue and the elevated first rib over the course of a couple of sessions and my tinnitus dropped to a 0-1/10 in the left ear. If I'm careless when lifting weights it can cause the tinnitus to flare to a 2-3/10 for a couple of days.

Red wine also creates some sort of inflammation that causes my tinnitus to flare up, but alcohol (excessive alcohol in particular) in general causes that and it precedes my neck injury.

Not a specialist, but that:

1/ is hard to build in space (big pieces that need to be assembled)

2/ needs to be big enough not to make everyone sick (the diameter must be quite large for the gradient of gravity not to be too noticeable)

3/ Not very useful when one of the main points of having a space station is to do ~zero g experiments
The issue with space debris from satellites is well known and thank you for raising your voice, but some people don’t like being told the scientific truth. There is also the issue with astronomical observations being affected.

I’m not against satellite constellations, just wishing for a way to have them more organized and for having stricter rules on cleanup and deorbit.

I guess that’s why my original comment got downvoted :-(
