It's not a bait and switch, it's called leveling. People can come with 20 YOE and get an L4 offer at google (mid level). and some people take it, because it's still a compensation increase.

Others try for staff and they get senior, which has a wide pay band and can sometimes pay as much as lower staff offers. So calling it a "bait and switch" isn't really accurate at all.

The people who decide your level are not the hiring manager or the interviewers too.
Not sure why this comment is being downvoted? Placebo medication is known to have massive health benefits that go far beyond pain relief.
This is a difficult comment to parse
It's a minor annoyance but I only need to buy a pack once a year, so the extra time required isn't bad. The downside is that you have to go when the pharmacy is open and in some places those hours can be quite limited, especially for those who work standard business hours. If you need to buy it regularly, it might become a hassle.

When I bought it, my receipt showed the total amount I had bought in the past thirty days (which was also the amount I was buying that day). For my use, the monthly allowed amount is far far beyond what I'd ever use but I could see some people with really bad sinus issues needing more. Perhaps in that situation a doctor could write them a prescription for more than the standard limit.
Homeopathic medicines are the horoscopes of the medicine world.
Retractions in primary care journals (2000–2022)
Running arbitrary user code inside a jail that doesn’t isolate networking might not be enough isolation. Also kernel mount namespace binds into the jailed env increases the attack surface. Great for some use-cases, but multi-tenant workloads might need a tighter setup?
I'm definitely going to give Windmill a try. It looks really cool!
I often contemplate whether our modern data storage techniques are inscribing us into a forthcoming dark age. Will data archaeologists 3,000 years from now know what to do with these blocks of glass? What is the probability that this storage medium lasts as long as the claim?
What ideas truly endure a span of 100,000 years? If every fragment of human knowledge is worth preserving, shouldn’t we have devised a pertinent storage method at some point within the last 300,000 years? What makes this moment in time so exceptional that we are now endeavoring to preserve its information at a depth and beyond a lifespan any human can fathom?
In spite of these questions, I am in favor of this endeavor. It's exhilarating to think that we possess the technology to secure our data for thousands of years to come. This could well be a pathway for humanity to unify around a project that imparts enduring significance to our collective intellect.
Nonetheless, the challenge of dependable communication with the future remains. How will our efforts be perceived by future groups? How do we ensure that there is an instruction manual that will prevent our data archives from only having the property of a block of glass to future agents?
Should we start a new data storage religion? Religion seems to be a durable source of information survival, but I'm limited to examples within recorded history, which is only a few thousand years. This could be my own eon's bias, but if something's written and it's durable, people in the future will lose their shit when they find it, even if it's a shopping list. idk store the glass in animal skin inscribed with metallic ink in a universal human language that's durable throughout time & bury it under a conspicuous mountain in the Atacama.
I'd think he has the right to keep it. That right also comes with any criminal liability associated with improperly handling or releasing that data along with any civil damages that follow from the same. You'd be foolish to actually want to express this right.

However, there is zero chance I'd acquiesce to a third party high end security contractor like Kroll in to "scan my systems." I found that a little bit disturbing for a city to unleash it's world wide third party contractor on an unsuspecting civilian that was trying to help them out of a _legal mess_ they created.

I second the absurd conservative driving of Cruise. At the peak hour, even going straight, the Cruise car would suddenly slow down in the middle of the intersection because it seemed it just discovered the pedestrian cross walk and got scared.
One thing to consider is that 'government' literally constantly advertises the opportunity for you to get credentials to their system and prepare documents themselves. They will pay you to do this.

> So yours (and many others in your position)'s clear desire to think of us as adversaries rather than simply people who want to know what the fuck is going on is blinding your vision.

Yea, I don't work in his position or any government position, but you are being adversarial. And, whatever you're trying to do, you're being a dick in at least this comment.

> I'm very curious to hear from someone who likes DI in a non-OOP language - why?

The same reason as in OO languages. Clean separation of startup and runtime. Testability. Ability to avoid duplication and make changes in one place.

> What techniques do you use to make the level of indirection feel like a help, rather than a hindrance, in your codebase?

Separation of concerns/responsibilities always involves indirection. Using something like a free monad would be more indirection. I can't really give any useful advice beyond "factor your app well" and "split concerns/responsibilities at points that make sense"
Right. My goal is to find a good solution.

One possible solution is a dual, or split caret, with direction indicators [0]. So at least when the insertion position depends on the type of character being typed, one can see where it may go. What do you think of that?

And also, I didn't quite understand which kind of navigation (using LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys) you prefer or feel natural - the visual or "logical". The thing about logical one is that the caret might move in the opposite direction (relative to the arrow key pressed) when crossing bidi boundaries (browsers seem to use logical).

Yes, but when given evidence from which they might draw other conclusions, a trier of fact may not be inclined to heavily favor your testimony about your state of mind when you gave your false but maybe-or-maybe-not willfully false testimony.
At least in the state of Washington, only police officers are authorized to execute warrants. So I don't feel like I am being pedantic. If you are saying it requires a warrant, it's officially a police search.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills in this thread and no one has an idea of what a warrant actually is and they are just throwing it around like a magic word.
I find your experience very different from mine. I live in Texas. I would expect a number of open carry handguns in any public place, and if someone started shouting half of those open carrying would put a hand in their gun and look tense.

OTOH, stealing a phone, smoking meth, or disgusting excretory things outside of a bathroom would be unthinkable. I would not worry if I left a cell phone on the seat if my pickup in Waxahachie or Hurst with the window down all day. I did leave my wife's cell phone in the seat of my pickup with the windows down when I ate in a restaurant in Waxahachie a day or two ago. She made fun of me for it, and I replied "It's Waxahachie."

BTW, the last car dealership I passed on the way home (before I stopped for dinner and answered this post) is called "Lifted Trucks." Seriously. You can look them up on Google Maps in Hurst, TX. LOL. This is Texas.

Well, of course you can repurpose things. But you better have a good answer for "why are doing this again?", because any pointer to good practices, or people having success doing it is now completely irrelevant.
Homeopathic stuff is placebo, that's what it is. And placebos work very well. Who cares if they are not medicines? Sometimes all you need a placebo.

You should not discount just how effective placebos actually are!

Although I do recognize the potential for fraud here - they disclaimers they put on there should be more prominent.
Airline Pilot Was on Magic Mushrooms When He Tried to Crash SFO Flight, Feds Say
Ah yes, manually setting opaque CSS to revert an idiosyncratic UI design choice back to something that people would normally expect to see. Great, thanks.

Seriously, when I saw the "115 vs 102" slider thing on the website, I was surprised and disappointed to realize that that I instinctively interpreted as the new and improved UI was actually the old UI that I was already used to, and the weird iPad-esque thing was actually the new and supposedly improved UI that I was about to get. This is what I donate every month for? It's enough to make me reconsider my contribution.
Can Math Secure Mixed Reality Systems from Attack
I think the time to “address” data security concerns are before you get pwned and millions of records get taken. It blows my mind how many companies get taken for millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of records and only find out after the fact.
Missouri was the meth capital of the United States and pioneered the laws restricting sales. Meth labs were never run off buying 2-3 boxes at a time - before the restrictions you could buy the pills by the thousands from compounding pharmacies. As much as I “appreciate” your downvote, my quality of life has been directly impacted by the sales restrictions. The only way I can buy enough to maintain the dose I need involves straw man purchases far more expensive than they used to be. Accordingly, I moved on to other medications which are not as effective.

This probably leads to regress (why trust the multiparty scheme?), and would only be convincing to a tiny fraction of skeptics (asymptotically, the ones who are least likely to be cranks and therefore the least noisy ones).

Meanwhile, a big part of current cryptographic design is recognizing that many of our current primitives have far larger margins than we really need, and that we can squeeze performance out of our schemes by taking a more evidence-based approach to parameter selection/round counts/etc.[1].

Yeah, Oregon still requires a prescription for pseudoephedrine. And it's infuriating.
Incidentally, "jaywalking" will be legal in California in 2024, finally. Hopefully that will be the beginning of the end for those laws across the rest of the country.

(Of course, we're talking about crossing "when safe", not when you'd be walking into the path of a vehicle with the right of way.)
I am not sure why the downvote. It keeps hypochondriac people away from the medical system by giving them essentially placebos. Everyone is happy.
man, say what you like about my writing, it sure used to be worse
I disagree with the premise of your question entirely because using LLMs is not lying.
This specific proposal will only really help with the last part - it will let you write

return `data:application/octet-stream;base64,${(value as Uint8Array).toBase64()}`;

but you'll still have to do the work of reading the stream to a buffer yourself.

There is a _very_ early stage (as in, it's literally just an idea one person had, which may never happen) proposal [1] to do zero-copy ArrayBuffer concatenation, which would further simplify this - once you'd collected the chunks you could `value = new Uint8Array(ArrayBuffer.of(chunks.map(chunk => chunk.buffer))` instead of manual concatenation.

Finally, there's the Array.fromAsync proposal [2] and/or async iterator helpers proposal [3] (which I am also working on), which would make it easier to collect the chunks. Putting these together, you'd get something like

if (isReadableStream<Uint8Array>(value)) {
const chunks = await Array.fromAsync(value);

if (chunks[0].byteLength) {
value = new Uint8Array(ArrayBuffer.of(...chunks.map(chunk => chunk.buffer)));
} else {
throw new Error(`Unrecognized readable stream type: ${ chunks[0].constructor.name }`);
}
}

return `data:application/octet-stream;base64,${(value as Uint8Array).toBase64()}`;

That is correct! our platform provides a seamless UI for constructing training sets and training models. Behind the scenes, there's a lot going on:

- Data ingestion: from various platforms, starting with Google Drive and soon expanding to OneDrive and Dropbox.
- A robust labeling backend: with native integration with LabelStudio.

- Range of GPU selection: for training, starting from the affordable RTX A2000 to the powerful H100, starting at just $0.17/hour. You can save up to 60% compared to AWS, depending on the GPU.

- Model deployment & optimization: All trained models are fine-tuned using NVIDIA TensorRT and Triton for maximum efficiency.
when you click on "AI models" on the docs page it looks like they left docusaurus boilerplate in there. In fact, all of the pages under Train your model are also docusaurus boilerplate pages, lol

I gave up and mostly use the Fastmail web UI. It's substantially better than Thunderbird and just about every other email client I've tried. But of course this isn't any help if you're not a Fastmail customer.
Reading between the lines here, it seems like the “new” approach is just an old approach combined with an advertisement for a platform.

Unless you’ve forgotten that there are numerous other ways to do classification beyond using an LLM, I don’t see much substantive content here.

It's amazing how much more advanced the third party repairers are then Apple's own Authorized repairers.

You are completely on point with not being interesting in this "Right To Repair" rhetoric that I can only assume Apple is using as a marketing gimmick.

From when I first started fixing Mac's - which I only ever replaced parts, Apple would never allow you to take a soldering iron to their godly products - they at least had a lot of parts you could replace. Displays could be replaced on Macbooks from the 2007 era for example and you could buy those displays in bulk for a reasonable price.

From the unibody/clamshell era, 2010 onwards, Apple made these machines barely repairable, displays are now industrially glued into their metal housing, almost all I/O is soldered to the logic board requiring a full replacement to fix, good luck if you're out of warranty.

In exchange for the faulty part back, Apple will offer an authorized provider about 20-30% discount on the part which they call an "Exchange Price".
Nothing hurt my soul more then to have to quote customers $700-900 AUD (exchange price) to fix a simple backlight malfunction.

Interestingly the price of replacing a Display or a Logic Board through Apple's 'Exchange' program is the same cost price for a Service Provider and these are the most costly parts of a Mac.

They do not offer exchange prices to these independent providers and the 'stock' price of Apple's service parts are astronomical.

I highly doubt that any independent repairer has ever ordered any part from Apple. Maybe they ordered tools, Apple does have some decent tools.
Show HN: Restaurants in Peace – leave a remembrance for a closed restaurant
Hey HN! I go a bit about the project on the about [0] page, but wanted to chime in here as well.

It’s been a project long in the making - it started in 2019, before everything shut down/changed. The list of closed restaurants I found - for New York only - was already really long. So now (that I have time to work on it at recurse.com) it really felt like I needed to do something about it.

When a restaurant (or any business) shows up on Google Maps as “permanently closed”, in that bright red font, there’s always a tiny bit of a pang of sadness. It’s definitely more than a pang when you look for a place you loved and expected to visit again.

The project’s “aesthetic” is inspired by early 2000s funeral homes’ websites. The combination of funeral + restaurant is what made it click for me. Maybe what we long for is a place to share our losses? Maybe.

Thanks for checking it out! :)

Gibson didn't just make a few mistakes. He consistently made ignorant and false claims to sell software and boost his own profile, which apparently worked on quite a few gullible people.
The iPhone was instantly taking market share from BlackBerry from release. By 2011 they already had ~20% of the market share. The same market share they hold today.

Google still hold a dominate position in Search with ~85% of the market share. The same market share they had for the past decade. No one is taking the market from them.

Their Ads business has more competition that every before, yet it still a growing business. The only company that has taken significant share from that has been Meta and that has slowed significantly for the past 3-4 years now.

So who is going to destroy Google's business like the iPhone did to BlackBerry?

You can't build a significant Ad business overnight and Ads aren't going anywhere.

Google has more 1 billion users application than any other company in the world most of them are contain Ad space for them to sell.

The only threat to Google is Meta and again Meta hasn't been a threat for the past 3-4 years.

I think this is a common misinterpretation that many people fall prey to. “It’s wasting my time so it must be bad.”

Your employers aren’t optimizing for your personal productivity and happiness. They don’t mind if you waste 1000s of hours with poker cards and Fibonacci numbers if their business goals are met. This can mean making one person upset and less productive if it makes progress towards a bigger goal.

If you get to define the terms of the search with a lawyer, wouldn't that make the terms of any additional snooping illegal?

The "single line of powershell" thing really undermines this person's credibility. Without knowing how and where this information is stored, how can he possibly know what the level of effort in retrieving it is?

That 2% wealth tax is for literally 3,000 people (or less). To quote:

> A minimum tax on billionaires equal to 2% of their wealth would address this evasion and generate nearly $250 billion from less than 3,000 individuals.

That seems like a very reasonable and focused policy with pretty big upside for affecting a very tiny proportion of the population, which is generally "the point" of policy proposals such as this.
