Most definitely. Most of my time in FB was spent at the very least making FB a better company. I was solving problems that impacted our users or our engineers. The last year though, not so much. I joined a team that I believed was doing revolutionary work, but as the company's leadership redefined what its goals, the team became vegetative and I was spending most of my time trying to find something meaningful to do.

By comparison, everything I do now improving the company I work at, and at most times has a direct, positive impact on our users and in a smaller way on society

Hi Peter!

Thanks for doing this! 2 questions from me:
1. If the company is not able to file PERM successfully due to the layoffs and once the H1b expires. Is it possible to extend the H1b after 6 years eventhough there is no PERM filed?

2. Can companies not absolutely file for PERM during layoffs or is there like a georgraphical restriction/meaning certain number of miles that they should look at to determine if layoffs have happened? Is there a fixed number of miles/radius?
I was not particularly fond of Jezebel, but I do think it's an interesting mental exercise to compare how one reacted to this news to how they did/would react to, say, the demise of Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern. (Or, wrt the comment section, this site.)

I think this conversation is going off track. For the purposes of determining prices for healthcare, there exists a market, even if the person receiving the healthcare is not paying.

The reason I don’t have a Linux laptop is simple. There is not one that has a touch pad as nice as a mac’s. It needs to be large and very responsive.

My attempt at Linux at a Chromebook was ruined because of a terrible trackpad.

> No company wants that code, or being saddled with a few dozen teenagers, some of which are completely useless.

This is an efficient summary of the social attitude I'm criticizing. People believe that children and teenagers are useless. They believe this because the structure of modern education requires young people to be useless. Every adult in their lives repeats variants of "you cannot and should not be trusted to do real work that other people need", and so young people grow up believing that.

If instead of resenting their presence and demanding that they be warehoused away in the name of efficiency, adults in contemporary society ought to look forward to training young people to be useful. If you take this attitude, and regard every young person as a future ally in your endeavors to maintain civilization to a high standard, it becomes clear that what's being done in most schools is inefficient, poorly-managed, and counterproductive.
See I just don't agree with this at all. We've clearly seen an example where a company can grow its net worth while making the world worse. It requires our current system of laws - but that's the world that we live in. This isn't a property of negative externalities. This is a property of social value being entirely disconnected from cash.

Saving a rich person's life and a poor person's life has the same value to society. But a rich person can pay far more money to have their life saved than a poor person can.
Nobody lied when we were acquired in 2016. Everyone was told ahead of time that they would be interviewed and not everyone would be hired.
This reduces a complex tradeoff between risk of speeding and patient delay to a declaration that it is always better to delay.

> And report them if they ever claim to work for Google.

Google is already too big at this point, I'm talking about producing anything that would have a real impact in the medium to long term.

In a way, that's good, the last thing we really want is for really talented people to be able to do meaningful work at Google's scale and given Google's current incentives, on the other hand you have to feel for those talented people and for their wasted intellectual potential.

Are either of those things really legal? I'm highly doubtful. In fact, at least for the latter, the official government position is to call an ambulance, don't take someone to the hospital yourself.
Yes. I haven't used adblockers anywhere for a good decade. Ads in articles my brain now skips, and unskippable video ads I usually mute and do something else.

I wouldn't use Youtube to listen to music any more than I'd use my toaster to cook bacon. It could do it, but I have better tools for purpose.

Interesting... how come Linux just works and Windows is iffy in the handheld gaming space?
You may actually need a little bit of extra information to replicate a handful of traces (i.e.on breadbpard) present on the little PCB that the ratgdo software relies on to interface the espressif to the terminals of your opener.

It's not terribly complicated but for reasons that are polarizing to many in the garage-door-automation society, the author of the software, although leaving the code completely open source is averse to publishing schematics for the PCB board itself, so others have had to step in and reverse engineer these.

It appears that this project has gone from a very minor side hobby an actual business for the author, and the PCB schematics are pretty much the only IP moat he has, without them he's just providing a very easily (and cheaply) replicated PCB assembly service.

I believe, although I have not verified because I haven't tried this myself, that this site provides both the schematics you need as well as information necessary to Flash the software onto your ESP device.

Apple Car will be marketed out of both sides of their mouth, just like oh-so-private iOS devices are marketed today.
The Google assistant has been years ahead of Siri and Alexa for a good while now. I've been able to give it really loose sloppy commands, even stuttering or backtracking on my sentences, and does a competent job of figuring out what I want. In my experience Siri is much more dependent on keywords and certain phrasing, and doesn't quite integrate as deeply into one's life because Apple isn't doesn't play Google's game of slurping up all your personal data and all the public data on the internet.

These next gen AI voice assistants are still a solid improvement over Google's current offerings, but they'll feel like a massive jump into the future for folks that have been stuck in Apple's ecosystem, and that's probably where the biggest opportunity lies.
Eh, we're currently fighting to get some claims covered. Before a certain date, all the claims are denied; after a certain date, all the claims are approved. The claims are all for the same thing, related to the same procedure (physical therapy after a joint replacement).

Could the claims have been rejected due to a simple human error? Sure, it's plausible. Was there another human error that caused the claims to be rejected after we appealed? Maybe, but probably not. Could a third human error cause the claims to be rejected again after our second appeal? Seems pretty unlikely.

This is both more reasonable than and different from what was written.

Couldn't that part simply have been left out? More to the point, is a person definitely wrong for thinking that it ought to have been left out?

Dig a hole. It can always get worse.
Whichever way this goes, just the fact that it is being considered makes me definitely more interested in rebuilding and maintaining some good 1990s sporty car for daily driver use. After many structural crash-performance-improvement measures were common but before every manufacturer wanted to sell cars-as-a-service...
Yes, the web of subsidy is wide and complex, but not all subsidies are for the same reason.

For example, the fructose corn syrup subsidies exist, as far as I can tell, in order to on-shore agricultural profits and ensure sufficient slack in the domestic agricultural system to ensure that restrictions on imports of food, such as in the case of war, would not seriously affect the USA. That is, it's a subsidy towards food security.

Sadly, there is no "none of your business, let me quit" option.

Actually, the "Other" option encompasses "none of your business, let me quit". Though it is still a UI nuisance

You're basically correct, it can be anywhere from about 6 to 18 months. Lots of variables determine that; if they're more experienced it can be as simple as getting them to a certain revenue number sufficient to replace me, or as complex as "we need to get the board comfortable with how we operate" which can take longer.

My stated goal from day 0 is "I'm here to replace myself" which applies a lot of the (good kind of) pressure to install systems or processes that are well-defined, repeatable, scalable, and then hand the whole package off to the new folks.
OK, in that case I think it's a very reasonable choice! Perhaps it's worth clarifying that in the article.

I might express a slight preference that your internal code is idiomatic if I'm going to be poking around in there at some point. But I wouldn't be bikeshedding about your C coding style if you'd provided a Python module written in C, so I don't feel I should have a strong opinion as a user here.
Not only that, but it's another mandatory system in cars that are already bloated with systems and features. More curb weight, more cost - both to purchase and to repair.

Investment has become a fast guaranteed returns at all costs kind of thing. That means that while it would cost nine years to build a nuclear reactor and twenty five to break even, the reactor could operate for a century because they're required to maintain it due to how dangerous it is. Meanwhile a gas plant can be built in two, break even in five, and operates for twenty years before falling apart from neglect because a gas explosion doesn't create nuclear fallout. This is also why coal fired plants are still running despite external pressures to render them extinct; the owners know the ROI and like the short term projections.

Exactly. Maybe my eyes are not good enough, but I've literally never ever wished for more resolution - and especially not as an immediate and unavoidable tradeoff to power/battery/framerate/weight/heat/noise!

I do not need same resolution on my 7" device as on my 27" monitor :)
You want to outsource so you can focus on building your product instead of integrations which are costly to build and maintain. Also it’s not easy to come up with these universal mappings, why reinvent the wheel? It’s unlikely that your integrations are differentiating but it is likely they enable you to close deals.

Oh, I have not tried using it from system repositories: I tried that with another library (in a hobby project) before, had issues with that, been told and generally gathered that it is easier to pull dependencies with cargo, so went straight to that this time. I see that librust-clap-dev would pull 157 other packages with it though, but will look more closely into it: I would actually prefer getting dependencies from system repositories, thanks for pointing it out.

As for newer compilers, I prefer to depend on system repositories and package manager for updates, and to stick to stable branches, so that things do not change too often. I see the appeal of rolling release distributions and cutting edge software, but not feeling comfortable using it for things that are supposed to be reliable.
I've been working on Lightrail for a couple months now, just added gpt-4-vision-preview support and figured it was as good a time as any to do a Show HN. It's still very rough around the edges, but I'm hoping it can provide a compelling alternative to siloed per-app AI assistants. So many of my favorite AI workflows involve working across apps, so I wanted to build something that made those workflows easy -- and that can support a community of new integrations and workflows/actions that are simple to throw together. Would love to hear feedback & happy to answer any questions!
That's great the bot can tell you that you have cancer, congrats. It isn't human, can't comfort the cancer patient, can't actually _help_ the cancer patient in any meaningful way to solve their issue.

AI is not intelligence. It lacks empathy. It lacks just about everything a doctor does except regurgitate diagnosis based on data -- data gathered by doctors.
That's true but SOA without an ESB is a very small solution. As that solution grows an ESB will be created whether or not the team thinks of it as an ESB.
Nobody's asking for .NET or an IDE. Just enough to build things like the aforementioned Python packages. Or am I missing your sarcasm?
Ok I see. Indeed, it would be worth specifying what the boundary is in our case. Thank you for the feedback!
Meh, if you're not able to list even a single risk, then you clearly haven't thought of this very much.

Surely you can imagine the harm of sharing the video of someone's rape? Don't you think we should try to avoid this for the sake of those who have already suffered?
It honestly wasn’t a bad approach in practice, many years later there was a similar library called Enlive in Clojure which I genuinely enjoyed. Forces you to use nice semantic IDs and classes for everything. I suppose if you wanted the real BASIC experience you’d actually just PEEK and POKE with character offsets into the templates or something ungodly like that.
Yes, though the fact that it's 2012 prices and indexed to CPI does a lot - that's roughly £65/MWh in current prices. And despite all that it's still cheaper than offshore wind.

You can also look at Spain - the CfDs aren't really comparable since the way CfDs are used there is different but LCOE is probably in the 40s-50s EUR/MWh for new build solar PV. But there are now meaningful curtailment issues in some places due to grid capacity there so developers will probably be working to higher numbers.

For anyone looking to try this in an E2E testing context, we just released a library for Playwright called ZeroStep (https://zerostep.com/) that lets you script AI based actions, assertions, and extractions.

This is a working example that tests the core "book a meeting" workflow in Calendly:

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'
import { ai } from '@zerostep/playwright'

test.describe('Calendly', () => {
test('book the next available timeslot', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://calendly.com/zerostep-test/test-calendly')

await ai('Verify that a calendar is displayed', { page, test })
await ai('Dismiss the privacy modal', { page, test })
await ai('Click on the first available day of the month', { page, test })
await ai('Click on the first available time in the sidebar', { page, test })
await ai('Click the Next button', { page, test })
await ai('Fill out the form with realistic values', { page, test })
await ai('Submit the form', { page, test })

const element = await page.getByText('You are scheduled')
expect(element).toBeDefined()
})
})
The laser projector thingy sounds cool. I want to try it.

Main problem here is that it is a floating device. As soon as it unloads 4 tons of cargo it gets pushed up with 4 tons force upwards. And you'd better do not release helium to compensate that - it is quite expensive.

The descriptor cache is 96 bits per segment register (http://www.rcollins.org/ddj/Aug98/Aug98.html) so the 12 registers might be the bases and limits with the extra metadata stored somewhere else.
