The "laser ink display" looks a bit like the totally bunk display tech of the Cicret Bracelet "product" that VFX videomaker Captain Disillusion did a comprehensive takedown of a couple of years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbgvSi35n6o.

While it looks like there are a few videos of apparent actual demos, I haven't seen one yet where the device (and more importantly, the recording camera's settings) are controlled by an impartial reviewer, and I'm extremely sceptical that this is usable in the real world. There's a demo by the founder where one of the inputs is to tilt your palm up, and even in the demo the projection struggles to compete with the indoor lights, nevermind the sun https://youtu.be/CwSeUV3RaIA?t=205.

The pitch of this seems to be "no more distracting screens, and no need to download and manage lots of apps and services". Except there is a (very poor) screen, it's your hand. And you're limited to just one service and set of apps, the one that comes with the device.

It's all well and good saying that the AI can do everything you want, but the real world (sadly) has copyright restrictions and content licensing agreements which an out-of-the-box service by a legit company will have to abide by. If the song I want to listen to isn't available on whatever music service this product is partnered with, could I transfer music files from my computer to this device? There's a lot of use cases like this where you very quickly start to want an actual screen, and actual methods of input more precise and domain-specific than conversational voice commands.
Show HN: Ask GPT: Who is hiring?
Greetings, HN community!

I'm excited to share this little project with you, made possible by ChatGPT's "My GPTs" feature.
I've just created a GPT assistant that can assist you in discovering job opportunities from the "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" thread for November 2023.

If you're curious about the process of collecting and standardizing the data, you can find all the intricate details at https://bulkninja.notion.site/Converting-Ask-HN-Who-is-Hirin...

The next step was a breeze: I simply created a new GPT instance and uploaded the data as a JSON file.

Enjoy exploring job prospects with this GPT assistant!
I meant for work-based ones. E.g. employer sponsored (by public university) ... But yes, with additional spouse dependent. (Both non-citizens, with H1B and H4 respectively)
That's not what I meant.

I'm saying that many people dislike flats because their neighbours make noise, but not many people are saying they dislike flats because they themselves wish to make noise (which they can only politely do in a house).
The best part about building our neighborhoods at human scale is that you don't have to constantly act as a taxi for your children and family members. They can just walk to where they want to go. It's also much friendlier for disabled folks because they don't have to worry about getting destroyed by a Mercedes while crossing the street in a mobility scooter.
And public pay phones used privacy shrouds... I think they managed to understand the implications long ago.

I see this as another war on privacy by the population of extroverted over-sharers that inhabit social media.
I bumped into them when looking arouns. During the interviews you could tell the CTO had a huge backlog of juicy items that had a healthy mix of "things I have a clear idea of how to deliver" and "areas I'd like to learn". The fact that the people seemed very nice and the company was actually doing good to the world sealed the deal for me.
Minimizing the value of utilizing steam to those two things is ridiculous (ly disingenuous).

Is 30% fair? I don't really have an opinion, but putting your game on steam isn't required for game development.
Funny that this is the general perception of Las Vegas after 50 years of marketing itself as a budget destination
It's pretty trivial to set up a list of people allowed into your inbox.

Maybe not with one of those consumer products like aol or gmail, but I mean seriously...!
My uncle was a welder on that project. I wonder if they worked together? (He was a pipefitter and welded big pipes - interesting challenges there between unusual materials and the sheer size of the pipes).
Thanks for the response! Unfortunately we've submitted Service Requests for each of our forms as they are past processing times. Each Service Request was met with a response that boils down to "We know. Wait longer.". We've even submitted Service Requests for a couple Service Requests that went beyond processing times for responses!!

Our local fed rep in socal would probably be Katy Porter right?
Machine-learning the skill of mutual fund managers
IIRC studies have observed ketamine doing this for at least the critical period of language-learning. I would guess that any AMPA antagonist (to tilt things in favor of bottom-up processing) would do the same.
I thought it was just a very sticky library where people keep buying Steam games because all the games they already own are on Steam.

Also, both Xbox and PlayStation have more-or-less all those things you mentioned but you get subsidised hardware in the deal too.
It's just a means of assembling a very large clique of underqualified people, who everyone knows are underqualified and who know they are underqualified who will, in the name of job security and gratitude and whatever fake intellectual "justice" sophistry the PHDs in whatever studies come up with, will willingly participate in and ignore political corruption and call it "justice" and persecute anyone trying to clean it up. This model has been replicated among many big cities in America that demand "diversity." Over time in the name of "social justice", a whole cadre of underqualified civil servants lining their pockets and waving whatever flag of the month protects them from any scrutiny at all milk to death the historical wealth of cities and slowly turn them into Detroit. All the productive people give up on and move out of the cities. The tax revenue falls, cities services decline, lots of buildings become derelict and burn down, and everyone cheers about how "diverse" they are.

In cities that just won't die like San Francisco, they spend $300 million dollars on a homeless problem that would put thousands of diversity hires out of a job if it was ever solved. They do a subway expansion that costs more than $1 billion dollars for a mile, and they demand more taxes to fix problems that could be solved by simply enforcing the existing laws.
Wondering why Microsoft wouldn't enter this market or why Sony would leave it wide open despite each having deep expertise or assets in this area.
well you can just look at the specs from an official supplier of replacement batteries like ifixit https://www.ifixit.com/products/steam-deck-battery this will give you specs for the old old battery, I'm sure valve would've gone with a bigger battery that runs at the sameish voltage for simplicity

Watt Hours: 40 Wh

So are 'milk teeth' hair, and adult teeth teeth?

More seriously - that's a funny evolutionary result isn't it, (exactly) two sets of teeth in life?
That’s a strange accusation. I never said they were a body shop. They are a staffing company. I’ve known people who have worked through them. Have had good experiences.

I just said you could freelance through them. A lot of people do.
The article states that 50% of hay grown in Southern California is exported to China, and another 10% is exported to Saudi Arabia. If American meat consumption decreases, the portion of hay that gets exported will likely just increase. I think water intensity should be taken into account when determining export policies. Every time I read an article about water usage in an industry, the biggest or one of the biggest users ends up being the export market. We're shipping one of our most precious resources away.
“Hard” meaning specifically how many lawyer/HR hours, how long are the timelines, and are there other significant risks?
How does a government pay for anything? Taxes.

> it surprises me how instagram and twitter can get away with it but tumblr cant

It's a huge problem on Instagram too.

Twitter is different because it doesn't prohibit sexual content in the first place, unlike Facebook and Tumblr.
they really know when reading the paper. small world, everyone PI knows who is working on what
It is a nice idea. I worked at a place that had an app back in 2012 and something like this (had we used Slack) would have been very useful. I haven't worked with apps for a long time but I can see it being useful.
The hatred is mostly from it forcing specific strategies for simple tasks. The intent is to help students gain better intuition for math and gain multiple problem solving tools. But you end up with children who didn't understand the lesson taking homework to their parents who know a "simpler" way not understanding what's being asked for and everyone getting frustrated. I fully understand, in school my issue was always getting marked down for not being able to show my work for mental math.

A lot of the bad examples of it you'll see are just poor teaching (e.g. the "3 x 5 can't be 5 + 5 + 5, it's 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3" image), and we had that before Common Core. That guy's "batshit insane" example is just a slightly obtuse word problem.
The counterpoint to this is that individuals can decide if they want their firm to be acquired or not or to stay around after it has been acquired. I don’t mean to put blame or shame on said folks, it requires a lot of careful thinking and self-inquiry and attention to one’s emotions and body to weigh said decisions well; which is hard for many reasons.
Looking at the startup world, I would not be as confident about "solving problems for society", lol.
Gambling in a casino also doesn't have to be life altering either. In fact there are people who have destroyed their lives opening pokemon card packs. Reddit is literally full of stories. Here is the first random story I clicked on: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/comments/14uucxy/im_in_3...
Aren't those required classes in law school?
The abandoning part is the problem, not the buying and rewriting.
The demo was showing how you can interact with it. I don't think this is a big deal. If they're using GPT-4 or another model, then it will be resolved when the AI model is.
Maybe my brain is just fried today and I missed it, but I feel like there was a total lack of substance in that article.

Going on a tangent, in 2018 I worked at a company where our VP of product was obsessed with AI/ML and wanted to use it to solve every problem. It became a running joke among the developers that whenever we'd hit a roadblock that we'd just "sprinkle a little AI on it" as a solution. This article reminded me of that.

Everything I read felt like a sales pitch that boils down to "if you've got a problem, I can fix it with AI" without any details beyond that.
The information travelling down the optic nerve is already processed heavily by the retina. At a minimum, you have compression by differentiation, i.e. a bunch of rods and cones are bundled together by comparing their signal.

But I suppose your point is still possibly valid - just even more complex.
You must be rich. Can we be friends?
And conversely, anyone who has been granted opportunity due to suppressing the opportunities of others despite merit will do whatever it takes to maintain their political power.

The reduced LCD Steam Decks are a steal now and you’re getting a marginally worse device. The 64 GB one is essentially the price of a Nintendo Switch, and you can emulate Nintendo Switch games on it as well as play AAA Steam games. No brainer.
The clickbate title? It's explicitly against the rules.
I liked my time there, but yes it's a tourist trap.

Is there a comparable experience elsewhere (in Iceland or not) that's not overpriced, overcrowded, or out of the way? (a lot to ask I know)
It's just a mega-yacht. There's no practical use.
It’s because unless you’re pretty savvy and skeptical (albeit in a sophisticated way), your counterparts at Google are going to feed you all kinds of incredible, fanciful ideas about how things are going to be that don’t typically come to fruition.

It’s hard to develop savviness and a sophisticated sort of skepticism (ie a kind that doesn’t merely border on cynicism). So it’s disappointing when one’s optimism is exploited.

Which, Google, having gone through this sort of thing so many times — “knows” they are exploiting.

I say “knows” because Google M&A know this stuff in spades. Whether it’s reported up is another matter; as to say “the company we acquired is unhappy” is to bring blame upon M&A folks who are just doing their jobs.

I have a love/hate relationship with that song. I hate it because some guy used to play it on repeat on a server-wide radio on an old Garry's Mod surf server I frequented... On the other hand, I love being reminded of those times.

> They even pioneered returns after you played the game...

They were forced to do so by the Australian government, so it was hardly "pioneering".
>we can't pay the dividends because we already spent the money

Carbon fee and dividend proposals often require almost all the money to not be possible to spend on anything besides the dividend.
I think my brain was searching for "posted" but I was about to step away from my computer and "published" was the only word that came to me then.
There's a difference between a browser and an embedded webview. The latter shouldn't be logging into anything important at it's ripe for abuse - and basically training people to be phished by any app they install.

I admit the two categories are hazy, but it's an important distinction.

The fact that the exterior is a giant ad is exactly what makes it a revenue generator
When I spent a week in Selfoss, the landscape was littered with natural hot pools. Local guides could help you navigate them safely. It was sublime to be in them mid-day, mid-winter, with nothing around you for miles in every direction.
tbh this immediately popped into my mind before scrolling down the page - having a handwritten comment is neat and adds another differentiation to reduce strain when browsing code. some will hate it, but personally I want to try it.
> I've also heard that because of their slow growth, planting an olive tree is something you do not for yourself but for your children.

I believe that's said because the olive trees live for a long time (hundreds of years), not because they grow slowly. They reach maturity in less than 10 years, producing around 40 kg of olives, so if you are not very old you would probably see the fruits of the tree you planted.
I'm sorry, I don't think you have sufficient perspective on what middle class life is like in France to make this comment with any justification. French taxation is incredibly complex and heavy on the middle class. It is financially unfeasible for most middle class households to pass down their homes to their children due to the estate tax kicking on assets over 100,000 eur. There are many unhoused people spread across rural city centers and the outer banlieues of Paris. College is vastly more restricted in France and unavailable to the majority of the population. Social mobility is significantly constrained. Life grinds to a halt with some regularity due to general strikes. I am immensely grateful to have American citizenship and not have to raise my family in France.
After applying to a faceless mega-corp, I somehow found the hiring manager on LinkedIn and politely messaged them. Totally ghosted me. Later received the customary automated rejection email.
It is for tourists, but I would not categorize it as a trap.
However, I do wonder why this tidbit is hacker newsworthy
If you search for "concurrent hash table <language>" or "concurrent map <language>" (being <language> Rust or C++) you get a number of open source libraries written using different techniques. I consider "exotic" a matter of opinion.
Microsoft makes money by forcing the competing manufacturers to buy Windows. So far, it's actually worked; all of the Steam Deck competitors I've seen to date ship with a copy of Windows presumably paid-for by the OEM.

Introducing their own competitor would require them to invest deeply in doing so, and then subsidize their moneymaker (Windows) to compete at Valve's price point. It stands to reason that Microsoft would rather pocket AYANEO and Asus's OS fees and not even bother.
Looking forward to some variant of 7040 (zen 4 / RDNA 3) as the cpu.
Key point here: there's a cube/square scaling law problem. Mass and weight go up with the cube of the linear dimensions. Contact friction forces only go up with the contact area, which goes up as the square of the linear dimensions.
For those they don’t hire, do they give a severance or other package for comp?
I have. They read it religiously, and uncritically treated its journalism as the truth. I thought they were being ironic, until I got to know them better.
Disagree: I lived through several short/mild earthquakes in California and Tokyo.

Visitors freaked a little, but locals looked up from their phones, confirmed with each other, then everybody guessed the magnitude and checked USGS to see who came closest.

Kinda like seeing a rat in NYC.
I have a proposal here...

Jetbrains, VSCode people, whomever: edit mode and presentation view. There are times when I think for a lot of people the traditional math style makes sense for reading, but when it comes to editing, it bothers the hell out of me too.
Presumably they got well compensated for their time and effort. That's about the best you can expect at a large company. You're working on the company's products and priorities and getting paid to do so. What they choose to do with it is up to them.
I somehow managed to nearly max out my 512GB deck and 512GB microsd card. I was surprised to see storing stuff on the SD card had negligible impact on speed.

It really depends on the games you play though and size of your library.
Still in use academically too - we used it in my compilers class last year.
Because people find the concept of a person talking to themselves in public a bit weird, and talking into a completely unthinking machine is basically that. Maybe perceptions could change when low-latency conversational AI is very widespread but I think for the medium term unless there's a second human involved, people will still instinctively see it as talking to yourself, not talking to "someone".
I don’t understand how point-to-point air cargo doesn’t have a practical use.

I.E. moving supply chain items directly between manufacturing facilities, wearhouses, and distribution centers.

Help me understand?

I don't have a lot of hope for early education in this country.
16 years of schooling is a luxury only if you're getting something out of it and are intending to go to college. Otherwise, it's a prison (for the upper levels, at minimum).

If you're not inclined to book learning or find yourself in a poor quality institution, an apprenticeship in a workplace/industry relevant to your interests could easily be a better fit.
Why was it a mistake? I've only heard good things.

> To be "left alone" you have to do exactly nothing.

Unfortunately that's not true.

The problem shows itself when looking at codeblocks that developers share (in docs, blogs, videos, etc...)

Ligatures become a readability problem.
Microsoft Restricts Employee Access to OpenAIs ChatGPT
The large long distance AC transmission lines are 765KV. They step that down various substations as lines branch off to feed smaller and smaller areas until you get to the distribution network.

If you draw the map of lines with proportional thickness for various voltage levels it looks vaguely fractal, like an old tree.
i don't know whether to downvote, or upvote it as sarcasm gold.
That is a good reason, but in and of itself, not a sufficient reason.

Chocolate has fantastic profit margins. No Apple chocolate. ... mhhhmm, apple chocolate, that sounds yummy.

A bit closer to home, fabbing microchips has great profit margins. Apple pays good money to TSMC.

Just because it's good money isn't enough reason, I am sorry.
Thats why you ask for an exception and appeal the denial or get a specialist and try it with them. I don't think mine have ever been denied but I also have a long rapsheet of tried meds. If you rattle off a list of 2 or more previously tried meds, I'd be surprised if they can sustain a denial. You just might have to appeal or try something to add to the list of what to bring up as evidence to try something different (uncovered)
The helium-3 market makes an interesting comparison: it's sole-sourced from nuclear fission reactors.

https://cen.acs.org/materials/3-availability-increase-new-su... ("³He availability to increase with new supply deal")

It'd cost $30 billion to fill one of OP's blimps with synthetic helium-3 (which—to be fair—is a superior lifting gas to helium-4).
Right. If Google had taken SWE/SREs, say, and had them rewrite Socratic to fit Google infra while it had allowed Socratic engineers to think about incremental product enhancements that leveraged Google’s capabilities (as opposed to putting them full time on the rewrite), a far more optimal outcome that probably wouldn’t have led to them leaving.

One takeaway is that if you get acquired by Google, you should try to advocate for such an arrangement. Having worked for a firm that was acquired, it was incredible and devastating imo how much talent was squandered by these endless rewrites. Each IC’s decision to do that, to be fair — the money or something else wins for them. But just a bummer to see.
I see a thread of people talking about their experience of the game and how aspects of it made them feel. That's exactly what a forum is for, and a very legitimate way to engage with a piece of art.

Particularly for a game with strong sexual representationa and inclusion, it is legitimate to discuss aspects where the inclusion is still lacking. This may be useful for the Devs future plans, or it may change nothing but be useful for other prospective players to understand about the game.

You might not find the thread useful or engaging. I don't find the threads about compatibility with hardware I don't own useful or engaging. Not every thread is for every person.
Okay, you have me intrigued. Which studies? For rats or cats?

Is this a 'cheat' to learn languages better, lol?
