About a year ago now I envisioned a beautiful future, where you'd have AI composing BS copy and then AI reading and analyzing said BS copy, going from succinct summary at the start to succinct summary at the end.

I think we're quite close to that future already in the case of cover letters.

Now we just need social media products that intermediate one to many interactions with a two way AI rewriting proxy summarizing/expanding communication which filters out negativity and enhances positivity and we might just have something worth caring about preserving.
In school, I did a research project on grand pianos in the lobbies of tech companies. Google was one of the few whose public relations refused to comment, but a helpful engineer I pulled out of the phone tree did ask around the MV office with my set of questions.

What if there’s a software bug and you see blue as red and red as blue? How would you even know?
Small observation, I think they got the idea for a limited edition see transparent case after seeing how many people were interesting in modding theirs with an aftermarket one, and also probably a reason they made it even easier to take apart. The steam deck has seen more hardware mods than any other consumer hardware device I can think of in the past decade.

I don't think we have much protection for these types of labour hirec(as we'd call them in Aus) arrangements
This is 100% on the companies who are working loopholes to avoid providing the same benefits and protections to some of their employees. The government would have zero issue with Google hiring everyone as an employee, but Google is choosing to twist the system to their own selfish benefit.
Were you a guest at some other site? If so, the other person following their policy is a pretty reasonable explanation for your story. The policy isn't going to have an exception for them where they can evaluate your competency outside the established practice at the site.

I agree it's kind of weird if it were just a personal interaction with no surrounding context.
No you did it the right way. I lived in Canada for 10 years, my partner is Canadian, and we debated what to do when we moved down from Canada to the US. We got an attorney to help advise us.

It is very much a problem if your partner is deemed to have entered the US under false pretenses. That is, if they enter the US on a tourist visa and then you get married and they apply for a change of status, immigration can look askance at your spouse -- "The original tourist visa was a lie, you always intended to get married and change status, they are now barred from the US for 10 years." It might be faster, but you don't want to run that risk, even if the probability of that happening is low.
You underestimate the amount of land there is in this country lol
Have you considered working at a tiny company? Any company with less than 5 engineers will let you do everything. And if you're senior enough, probably most with less than 50.

When I was about 8 or 9 I made an autoplay executable that would open a HTML file from a cd, and the HTML file linked to a PDF reader + the documents that were on the cd. My dad used it to distribute surveys and a newsletter to his conservation group. When I was a bit older I made a reader for saved webcomics because I didn't like the way photo viewer shrank the images by default.

"Nobody actually wants stuff like that for a serious purpose" is wrong and dismissive. Sometimes they actually do; sometimes they have a real but non-critical need of debatable seriousness, and software from a kid can fill it; sometimes the other person is a fellow 9 year old, what they want is an overly enthusiastic Harry Potter fanfiction where he meets Lightning McQueen, and both the author and reader are happy.

I don't think the suggestion was that students be employed or economically productive, just that they would be producing work to be proud of a lot more often in a better system.

Oh same. I think it is far, far worse. Sports betting has a really gross social component where the group applies social pressure to push casual spectators to "put their money where their mouth is", I don't think sports betting at a venue should be illegal, but I also don't think letting anyone place bets with a booky from the drunken comfort of their friend's living room is at all beneficial for society.
Not being based on chance doesn't mean there's no element of chance.

I say this as someone who ran an adult website for 18 years, in Canada, until suddenly our bank informed us that they were closing our commercial accounts and we couldn't find a single other bank or credit union in this country that would take our business despite a pristine 18 year track record.

Was there no way around it? Maybe with a shell company to hide your real business? I know it didn’t end up working out, I’m just curious if there looked to be any way out or if you really were just locked out of banking.
Honest question: doesn’t the factor of individual freedom to move anywhere you want any time you want have any weight in this matter for you? You’ve got good points and I live in a rich European country for 7 years without a car, but there are other aspects of this kind of forced communal life that depress me quite a lot. In fact the problem here for me is exactly that you don’t need a car because even if you have, there is nothing interesting to do with it.
If it's for fun then sure, why not. What I meant was that you weren't really gaining any technical advantage by using Assembly like that.
HTTP1.1 was the standard for decades (1990-2015, technically still extant). People usually just "stop there" because it's what the majority of browsers and devices were targeted to support and does "just enough" of what they're seeking.

Of course you would make an HTTP/2 server, if you were looking for active push support and the like.

I remember that when I was living in Tokyo, in a tall building (I think one of the tallest residential building in Tokyo, in Shiodome, 54 floors, but I was "only" at the 22th floor), there used to be airships/zeppelins flying between the buildings once in a while.

Very uncommon sighting for me.

This was years ago, decades even and I don't know if they're still to be seen in Tokyo or not.

I think they were some kind of touristic attraction but I'm not sure.
Well, what if instead of wanting APL (an array-based programming language that really has nothing in common semantically with the one I use day-to-day), I just want things that are conceptually one symbol to actually look like one symbol? After all, you do not have to use my computer which has them enabled, and you do not have to enable them to use fonts that include them. This is straightforwardly 'other people should stop having preferences': No, thank you.

Depends on what you mean by comparable. Pretty much every midsized town in Iceland (and many of the small ones) have hot springs for the locals to frequent. If you want the whole trifecta of fancy hotels, crowds, and high end dining, there aren't that many. Myvatn meets the criteria though.

If you simply want a nice view with some hot water, my family says that sky lagoon in Reykjavik is just as nice for less.

I can't stand these arrogant generalized "the current generation is wrong / dumbed down by the media / trapped by lies" takes, you know very well every generation has said this about the one after, and it's never true, you are wasting your energy shaking your fist at the kids, they are fine.

> No wonder wars are raging, people are fighting, and all while making cute videos of cats while spreading 3rd grade history plausibilities.

No, the current wars are not caused by TikTok.

I wonder what you are getting your source from for this claim.
> Most things "just work"

I find it pretty hilarious that in 2023 this can still be a selling point.

> If you asked about it, the manager would say "we can't give Jim things directly because that might be like compensation and they'd be like an employee."

While extending it to things as small as a team lunch is going a bit far, it's understandable that they don't want to open up a slippery slope of it looking too much like an employment relationship. In many European countries that can result in false self-employment and get both the company and the contractor in legal trouble.
according to polygon gamestop's margin on new games was around 25%. So that's not massively different and steam absolutely provides more value for the developer than gamestop.

Sorry for late reply.
I went straight into projects, albeit small ones (a monitoring system for temperature, humidity, luminosity, my own light-based alarm clock). It's not quite as trivial as it sounds, for someone who has never touched electronics before :)
The theory I learned was almost all just internet searches. I did research before ordering each piece of hardware, to the point where I was confident enough I won't fry anything.
This might not be the most efficient way of learning, but it's more enjoyable than a book for me.
In the digital age it is not clear how these can be
authenticated. Source verification, timings, ostensible authors,
channels of propagation - all seem murky. 80 years ago when this was
written they'd be fairly self-evident or hard to cover up.

One of the things we learned from Snowden which has made nonsense of
incident forensics and malware analysis ever since is the existence
and application of "attribution engineering toolkits". Many modern
attacks seek not to disrupt the ostensible victim so much as to point
the finger at the desired culprit (actual target), amplifying the
attack by provoking a response.

It's clear that we need new forms of epistemology and intelligence
thinking.
I recently stayed at the sister resort, the Silica Hotel, and found it quite pleasant. It has its own lagoon and it’s a much quieter experience. It’s a 5 minute walk from the main resort so you can still take advantage of all the accommodations.

Hacker News has dozens if not hundreds of threads about people complaining about bandwidth costs on their static blog going viral and getting inundated with views. Some games taking up 100+ Gb and getting millions of downloads for week’s can’t be cheap.

> You can skip type system magic, and have people just keep introducing bugs that it would prevent over and over

Personally, I found even Haskell's type system easier and nicer to use than fiddling with _lifetimes_ in Rust types. Everything else in Rust is falling nice into place, but lifetimes are painful, magical and very annoying.

Anecdotes tend to be over valued on HN so my distaste for them may come across as rude but man, this is a particularly boring story to share. Did your brother enjoy it at least?

I believe the US Constitution prohibits federal taxes on exports. It was put it to convince Virginia (tobacco) to sign.

I know from reliable sources that Airbus has the same problem.
Why American manufacturing is becoming less efficient
It's true that light water reactors are not a good way to make plutonium for weapons. I disagree that designs running on natural uranium fuel (moderated by graphite or heavy water) are more efficient. Even countries that already have nuclear weapons and are beyond non-proliferation fears, like China, Russia, and the UK, don't build new power reactors moderated with heavy water or graphite.

Reactors using unenriched uranium can be more fuel-efficient in terms of electrical output per ton of natural uranium consumed, but they're not more cost-efficient. High project cost is the number one problem that impedes nuclear construction while fuel cost is almost negligible. Keep in mind that Canada's newest CANDU, Darlington 4, started construction in 1986; if you're comparing its costs to a light water reactor then you should also use mid-1980s costs for those and not e.g. the high costs for more recent EPR or AP1000 reactors. Building a new CANDU in Canada today would also cost more than it did in the 1980s.
Sure, some will undoubtedly have a smoother path based on their circumstances.

But combining people who want to profit with more people who want to "do lawyer things" is a bad recipe.
There is also a lack of serendipity or explorability with voice: How do you know whats possible? There is a reason a GUI menu is called a menu. It not only gives you access to multiple options but also at a glance an overview what options are there, like a restaurant menu.

Hope I'm not too late, thank you for doing this AMA!
I would love to hear your thoughts on the 50% ownership requirement of the E-2 visa, which I imagine can be restrictive when raising capital or splitting among co-founders. Can you outline generally how you advise your clients on this? For example, do you go the route of finding investors of the same nationality as the E-2 holder?

A final larger question would be does the requirement apply for the whole duration of the visa? If so, how is this tracked?
If that's true, I'd consider it almost criminal. The article mentions that Outlook sends the credentials of all email accounts on the system (e.g. gmail, all IMAP accounts) to Microsoft.
Hmmm. Does it help, though? I mean is there any actual evidence that it works? I tend to be a bit sceptical when it comes to "innovations" in the education field, so I am also trying to be mindful of my own bias here, but so far I was not able to make sense of things that I have seen, or got a glimpse of any deeper intuition. And I went to grad school for applied maths. Maybe I am too old? Or maybe I already got the intuition they were trying to convey? Or maybe I was not exposed to this stuff enough to say? Could be any of these I guess.

Heh, I was imagining it was about overlapping arrangements that are divided equally or something. So is it really just asking for 6? In that case yes, its not really insane, just questionably worded.
Since it’s Sergey Brin funding the venture, I don’t think running out of money is any real concern. So maybe they’ll be able to pull it off this time, assuming it’s even possible.

From what I recall, strong wind is kryptonite to any lighter than air vessel. I’m not sure how they plan to solve that problem, but I’d be really impressed if they do.

This is particularly why I feel a strong sense of responsibility to succeed and not abuse any privileges. I think the obvious reasons that this isn't more normal, are that they would just be abused. Who on earth would trust an inmate with internet access?

So as one of the first, it's my particular duty to show that a program like this can succeed and there are many of us that could be trusted and want to change.

It's weird that we look down on people acting like massive pricks to save money in their personal lives. But once you wrap a business around them then most people don't seem to care.

As I grow older it bothers me more. Some classes of people have a facade where it's socially acceptable to be assholes, but other people, well, that's a moral failing. The US has a new religion, and it's worse than the last one.
G/O Media shutters Jezebel, lays off 23 people
Can you elaborate on the search for a part time gig? One of my pet theories is that the demand for full time engineers is more of a commitment signal than actually practical, as most people I know only actually work 2-6 hours per day while full-time. So it's rather frustrating that good part time roles don't seem to exist.
I love this game so much. First of all, it's kind of technologically astounding. You can get in your spaceship and take off from a planet and fly to another one and land, all without any loading screens. The planets themselves are sculptable isosurfaces (only to an extent, though; you can't drill a hole through to the other side) and littered with points of interest, unique animals and plants.

It's quasi-social -- you can play with friends or go on missions with randos if you want -- but fundamentally a mellow, solitary sandbox to play in however you'd like. I like to collect neat looking spaceships, some people build amazing bases, and others basically use it as an outer space dog fighting game.

It's absolutely worth picking up if you want to putter around for a hundred or so hours in outer space.
