OT: in nearly every prior discussion of this, people mention that when they do watch YouTube without an ad blocker they get frequent long ad breaks.

I occasionally watch on a device like an Amazon Fire Stick or an XFinity Flex which does not have an ad blocker, and so I too then have my videos interrupted by ads--but the ads YouTube gives me are mostly 15 seconds, and most of them bring up a "skip ads" button after 5 seconds.

Usually the longer ads also offer the skip button after 5 seconds.

Some of the ad breaks contain 2 ads, but if the first one offers the skip button it skips the rest of the first ad and also the second ad.

For me then it is not really making me spend much time on ads.

That raises the question of why am I mostly getting short ads with a skip after 5 seconds, while apparently many others here got long TV-like ad breaks? Do they run different lengths ads on different categories of content, and I just mostly watch the kind that gets short ads?

I haven't played much with it recently but I was under the impression that ChatGPT was not great at mathematical computations.

that's to say, 1+1=2 is a well known fact, so it'd get that right, but ask it to md5sum a string that is not in any existing rainbow table, and it'd get it wrong.

I've not used GPT 4 so it might have gotten better.
I think the fact that there are grammatical errors proves that it's not a confabulation.
Given that bridge was in its 5th decade, I don't see how that applies to what the Italians have done in the last couple of decades, unless you're arguing what they are building today will be tomorrows Morandi Bridges?

I'm working at crypto startup that grows fast right now. There is enough candidates, but we can't find anyone good. We aim for seniors and we pay a nice price IMO.

Current "seniors" are much worse than 2016's "middles". I'd not mind hiring a "middle", but people seem so unmotivated right now to work and learn. It's more about the attitude than skills.

Also funny stats: For 15 candidates interviewed we even got "scammed" thrice (fake CVs, one was basically copy-paste from other people, stolen code presented as their own). We hired one person so far.

You seem to have a problem with projection. Have you considered seeing a therapist for this problem? If in-person therapy is inaccessible to you, have you considered teletherapy? It has benefits over traditional therapy, especially for those struggling with mental illnesses like agoraphobia or depression. Depression, an insidious disease, makes it hard to even get out of bed and off Netflix. Teletherapy is able to help in those cases as it is accessible without leaving bed or the house. I hope we can agree that some help is better than no help.

I definitely know talented people with plenty of experience and the expected degrees who were struggling to find jobs after being laid off. At this point I think all of them are placed now, but I don't know that means the market is better. Just that my specific limited sample has had sufficient time to find something.
Hopefully in a decade or two there will be open LLMs comparable to today's state of the art you can run on consumer hardware (or at least in AWS for a reasonable price). Then you'll be fully in control instead of at the mercy of the risk averse.
For freelancers, I am occasionally seeing extremely low hourly rates (linkedin), targeted at (I assume) Latin America. i.e. $15-$20 is the lowest, but sometimes $35ph. (Pretty shocking, but if it works out for everyone, good luck to them). I know companies that are only hiring from that region, where previously they were hiring Americans.

Generally, I'm seeing hourly rates 40%-60% lower than a year ago (for senior roles). It's pretty crappy.

Even when I apply to them (with those rates), 95% of the time, I don't get a response. (This has been talked about a few times in other threads, mainly to do with cover letters).

Are all these layoff I keep hearing about, really screwing things up to this extent? I'm confused on wtf is going on.
Indeed, Gemini lacks those things (and also some matters of basic semantic markup and accessibility to the blind). However, the amount of people who took it up is so small, I personally don't feel it meets with the OP's statement that "there are enough people complaining about the new internet..."

"I force myself to be cordial with the attendant since it is not their fault"

Exactly, it isn't that the situation isn't irritating it's that an honest person will initially be cordial about it. The ones that are trying to pull something go straight to overt anger because they, mistakenly, think employees are trained to give an "angry" customer what they want.
I don't understand why they have to bundle ad-free viewing with YouTube music. Nobody is going to switch from Spotify or Apple Music to YouTube.
Oh, I didn't mention it in the original post, but I'm also using magisk hide, or zygote, or whatever they're calling it now.

> Therefore, any use of transmute that extends a lifetime is UB if it causes the reference to outlive the referent.

By itself, a transmute of a currently-live reference cannot make it outlive its referent, in the sense used by the Rustonomicon. As it says later [0], a reference is alive until the point when it is last used, and no further.

Thus, with unsafe code, the lifetime of a reference can extend past the point when it stops being alive. As a consequence, extending the lifetime can never cause UB by itself: only using the reference after it has been invalidated can cause language-level UB.

Since language-level UB is based on liveness rather than lifetime, the compiler must assume that a reference passed to a function is valid even after it returns, up until the caller invalidates the reference by performing an operation incompatible with it remaining alive.

I worked a fast-food job for a month (and was proud of the effort I put into it - the customers were getting the best quality sandwiches while I was on shift!) when I fell on hard times earlier on in my life despite having been a successful developer in the past.

That job carried me through the job search & interviewing process for my next position which meant I could have a roof over my head (helps with keeping a good appearance and looking presentable), afford to actually make it to the interview (it was an office 2 hours away) and allow me to not be desperate about it. I can guarantee you that I wouldn't have got the job regardless of my technical skills if there was any hint that I was homeless, so having a roof over your head and being able to afford basic necessities is a major priority.

Get the menial job and rebuild from there. Right now your priority should be any job so you can rent a survivable place. It doesn't have to be pretty (neither the job or the place), it should just be enough so you can keep yourself together and maintain appearances when hunting for your actual, long-term job.

Living in London is horribly expensive, but being so close, European travel from the UK is often similar in price to travel within the UK. As well as Eurostar there are many cheap flights and both can be similar to the costs of train travel within the UK.

Brexit has sunk the pound so the costs of holidays abroad will be relatively more expensive now, but as kids we often took summer holidays in France because it cost less than going somewhere in the UK.
Does your region have inflated pricing on streaming services or even just YT Premium?

This wouldn't change the value proposition for you personally, but in the US, YT Premium is $139 a year, $11.58 a month (14/mo if paying monthly), and includes YouTube Music. Spotify for comparison is $10.99/mo. Though I know some people prefer other music streaming services, or as in my case just don't use that piece as much.

LLMs represent the potential to tilt the balance in any political contest, or any policy, at least in the short term until people wise up to it - people are still duped by tabloid media like Fox News or the Daily Mail and that’s been around for a long time.

Well honestly, if your product requires a significant amount of marketing dollars to reach "product market fit", is it really PMF?

Going by the definitions stated by Marc Andreessen and some of the YC Partners, product market fit is when you don't really need to spend marketing dollars because your product is growing so organically (with minimal marketing spend) that your team is barely able to keep up with the growth.

Chatbase is a very good example for a PMF product, one that comes off my head, and that didn't require any VC funding. On the other hand, I remember a YC startup launching similar in the summer, but I don't remember its name now.
A couple weeks ago we put a advert out on Indeed and also listed it here on HN. Initially we didn't have any further qualifications beyond the job post, which did indeed go into details on the job and requesting a cover letter.

After spending a couple days of 2-3 hours each on reviewing resumes that were "only ok", we started adding additional hoops for getting resumes in, and also tried to put in a gatekeeper to really urge applicants to write cover letters. After that the rate has dropped to bearable, but we still maybe get one out of 10 applications with a cover.

So, if you are applying to a job right now, I'd say that rather than optimizing your process for getting a lot of jobs applied for, spend some more time and apply for jobs that you're well suited for, and then make a cover letter that explains why.

I've been very lucky, I've not had to apply for many jobs. But when I have, I always wrote a specific cover letter AND customized my resume to the job advert.

But, yeah, we're having a hard time finding full-stack people that can hit the ground running with Java and Vue.
This is partly by political choice. The Germna traffic department has been held by the conservatives (CSU) for years, and ministers like Peter Ramsauer, Alexander Dobrindt, and Andreas Scheuer were more concerned with investing in roads (particularly in Bavaria, their home state) than in rails. Now the ministry is with the liberals (FDP, Volker Wissing), who also seem to be more concerned with defending drivers’ freedom.

The Tiny, Grammar-Bound Island
In addition to the frequency split mentioned by others, you can get much better utilization on the downstream channels than the upstream channels. Both are shared between all users on a node, but downstream has one transmitter and upstream has many, coordination and equipment tolerances mean the upstream can't be as tightly multiplexed. (GPON runs at 2.4G down, 1.2G up for this reason)

However, even with work from home, most users aren't pushing that much data. Teleconferencing is usually many streams in, one stream out. People working with large data feeds typically get a workstation somewhere with good connectivity and remote into it, where you send keystrokes and get big pictures. I have a pretty sad upstream, and it's not been a major problem, even if when I am pushing things from my home. Although there are a few tasks I avoided from home when I had a well connected office a few days a week.

It looks like you can't search "all" anymore. But if you want the same effect you can hack the URL.

Specifically:

&type=all used to work, but isn't an option anymore

&type=story&type=comment seems to do the same thing now (even if it doesn't show up properly in the pulldown menu).

Would be nice if they put "all" back.
Same, but R9 380X back in college. Bang per buck it seemed better than NVidia. But despite my distaste for NVidia back then, after that experience, I resolved to never get an AMD GPU again unless things drastically change.

Drivers would constantly break something, some games would run poorly and I would have to fiddle with driver versions to address this (often involving annoying version rollbacks), it would randomly start overheating for no reason, sometimes it would just crash the system, etc. Upgraded to 480 later, and the exact same story repeated.

You know what happened once I got an NVidia GPU years later (1080Ti)? I never had to think about the GPU ever again. I install a driver update occasionally, it “just werks”, and I would go on my merry way. Upgraded to a 3080 about half a year after it got released, and had the same story - it just works, and I never have to think or worry about it ever.

I would love to support AMD GPUs, but I cannot, in good conscience, buy their GPU again and waste time troubleshooting it and stress over every driver update.

On the flip side, AMD CPUs are amazing. Been with them since the original Ryzen release, upgraded once (from 1700 to 3900x), no issues whatsoever and am very happy with those. My next build will be an AMD Ryzen CPU as well, but it will have an NVidia GPU.

That's not happening. They aren't forcing you to do shit. Like do you imagine that they are taking you to court because you aren't watching their ads? No, of course not. They are offering you an agreement, they will send you their data that you wanted only if you'll also watch ads. You are free to decline. I'm general, most of the governments of the world have said it would be illegal for you to find technical workarounds to get their content outside of that agreement, but of course not even that is them forcing you to do anything.

As someone casually looking for a better fit as an infrastructure person, it can be disparaging for some of these portals to keep stats on interesting jobs.

It's not a myth. I run GrapheneOS, and my bank app doesn't work, the Blind app doesn't work, and another common marketplace app (not amazon) has shadow banned me for using it on a device without hardware attestation.

It's idiotic that they require hardware attestation, but let's not fall into the trap of "it worked for me".

Even with these limitations, I'm okay with continuing to run GrapheneOS.
Apocalyptic genocide of Palestinians are happening and nobody cares
My people are facing genocide in real time over 700 children have died as a result of air strikes.

HN bans talk about politics . But this isn't about politics anymore. This is about stopping one of the worst massacres to ever happen in human history as a ground invasion is imminent.

They were told to flee to the south from the north but they air striked them anyway. Trucks full of children and women literally with video proof. 80+ dead in one strike alone.

Then after saying the south was safe. They started air striking the south. Killing hundreds more. After people listened and went from the north to the south. It was all a trap. This is sickening on so many levels.

This will most likely be flagged immediately for not denouncing Hamas.

And my worst fears have come true. Not being able to even bring up 1 single thread about this important world changing event. All because politics on this board are banned. And all because everyone's too afraid of the truth. Nobody wants to admit they were wrong.

This needs attention. And it needs attention now. Not in 5 years.
My observation is that there were recent (2022/2023) layoffs that have now flooded the job market in tech with lots of unfortunately mediocre candidates. Therefore, it is both challenging to hire and challenging to find a job. I don’t think it’s that there’s any lack of good tools to use to find candidates. And great engineers are still just as hard to find, as companies are very reluctant to fire top performers even in mass layoff rounds that affect the rest of their division.
I'm kind of surprised to hear that cover letters still matter. It seems like most of the places I've applied to recently don't even have an option for including a cover letter. Since most of this is driven by keywords anymore, I guess I figured the cover letter was kind of an anachronism. I suspect you're in a small to medium sized company?
