I'd bet my hat that most of the recruiters never even saw a single resume that came from the AI, and that the vast, vast majority were immediately filtered by the ATS.

Doesn't even have to be anything big, just that there aren't enough keywords, or that there were gaps between employment that were too large, etc.

The ATS would then rank the applications and score them, and HR just looks at the top 15 or something and picks the top 5, whittles them down to 2-3.

They're not spending 8 hours a day reading resumes.
If you improve the operation of the worker-owned company, you will get rewarded just like any other employee who improves things.

If you want to improve things by doing things on your own, you will own the fruits of your labor. If you need additional employees to improve things, then you will probably have to share with them.

So much this. The help in QBasic is how I learned to program at ten years old in a pre-internet world.

The other angle for piracy here is subtitles.

I can pirate a movie/tv show and Plex will automatically grab practically any subtitle language I need.

The word you are looking for is responsible.

Someone who will take burdens from you and go handle them themselves and don't need to be cajoled, directed every step, motivated, managed, etc.

There is crossover with smart, but that's just a nice to have - responsible is the primary attribute you need here.

Plenty of smart or even brilliant and still lazy people out there that will not fit here.

> I don't know that there's a stable solution to this

A probably-dumb idea that I haven’t seen discussed anywhere: a federation of services (I pay $30/mo to the federation -- if I spend 2/3 of my time on Netflix and 1/3 of my time on Hulu, then Netflix gets $20 and Hulu $10)
Agreed. I think piracy is a form of protest at not just the increasing prices but also the dispersal of media amongst too many streaming platforms, each platform wanting your monthly dollars. It all adds up to a hefty monthly fee if you want to access all your favourite shows and they’re dotted all over the place.

The Netflix model worked when it was the only one with all the content; but now each studio wants to repeat the Netflix model and pulled their IP to self host it. It was pure greed, naivety and incompetent foresight on the part of the studio.
In my day job we use GPT4 quite a bit and we shifted to GPT4 Turbo today. We got a 2-5% performance increase, and quite a bit of speed increase as well.

Not to say that the parent post is incorrect, of course. Only that its not as cut and dry as a "GPT4 Turbo is distilled (read: watered down) GPT4".
Note that this doesn't mean toolless battery replacements. See §38 to PE-CONS 2/23 "A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it."
GPT4 is multimodal in the sense that it can take images as input. The person is using a speech to text system such as OpenAIs Whisper and serving screenshots and voice transcripts to GPT4 and GPT4 is returning a text response which is converted to speech using a text to speech system such as OpenAIs TTS API.

Dublin is a a very attractive place for tech companies outside of any tax policies. Workers speak English fluently, work for cheap compared to CV wages, and have a reasonably close time zone.

I love this so much. I got my start on QBasic and made hundreds of games between 12 and 19 years old. I eventually left it behind, but always had a fond spot in my heart for it.

Last year, when I was going to rebuild my personal website, someone on Twitter challenged me: “Build it in QBasic, you coward”. I was like “haha…wait, can I?”

And I did! It runs on QB64 on a DigitalOcean droplet.

Check app.bas for the QBasic code.

I may eventually release a CLI and library that lets people spin up a QB64 website in little time.

I mean, you'd probably still wear a seatbelt after having an accident... It's insurance, like the flu vax, not completely preventative.

By redefining "vaccine" only as something that provides "sterilizing immunity" (which actually only a few of them have ever provided, and thus, this expectation was never actually part of the original definition; see: https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-few-vaccines-prevent...) and thus impugning vaccine advocacy (or specifically, COVID vaccine use) as misguided at best, you are actually contributing to a narrative of science/medicine doubt that will literally lead to more death in the world. So please reconsider your carefully-worded position.
My past experience with (maybe more limited versions of) this is when you’re developing something and you throw a ‘true ||’ in there as part of that, in can get annoying to have to outsmart your environment to get your code to compile. But surprised at how many issues this can catch - seems worth the occasional extra pain.
That is the allegation, which Ireland disputes and the General Court dismissed.

I'm well aware that the EU has no authority on direct tax matters, which is exactly why Ireland feels aggrieved, as the Commission is effectively using state aid law as a vehicle to circumvent the limitations on the EU's powers.
People have been saying this for the past 50 years. We're becoming a "throw-away" society they've always said. Yes. We are. Modern design now optimizes for quick and cheap manufacture for products lasting under 10 years.

People would shit bricks if they had to pay the prices we paid 50 years ago for items "built to last" or at least "be reparable." Let's face it, they had to be repairable because you'd be working on them. When was the last time the average US consumer has fixed their TV? Washer? Dishwasher? When I was growing up those items frequently required repair. You bought brands that you knew would have parts available for several years to come (that's one of the reasons everybody bought from Sears).

I have no desire to return to those "good old days."

No, the real issue isn't continually buying new and shiny things - it's the fact we can't recycle the material from those once new and shiny things to make new things. That is the actual problem. If I can trade in my iPhone and Apple can recycle the majority of the material into a newer iPhone then we've eliminated a lot of waste and I get a new and shiny phone.

That is the revolution we actually need.

> Once regarded as a notoriously hard company to work with, it has clearly learned its lessons. Increasingly, it’s partnering with others to boost revenue from its vast catalog of intellectual property, from Pokemon Go maker Niantic Inc., to Nintendo-themed areas at Universal Studios theme parks across the world.

This isn't entirely true though, many are aware of the terrible animated Zelda show in the 90s, and the Super Mario Super Show and original Super Mario Bros. movie.

I think this is probably a similar story to early Ghibli partnerships with western media — their early distributors didn't "get" movies like Princess Mononoke and tried to completely butcher the initial US release. This put Ghibli off of partnerships for a while, but they eventually re-approached and are doing wonderful dubbing work with Disney.

> Tech improves, and no one wants the old stuff. That's the problem you have to solve to address the e-waste issue.

Tech improves, for a while. In some ways. And then it slows down significantly. Welcome to the S-curve.
Of course nobody still uses devices from 20 years ago, but we aren't talking about a binary choice between "dispose of devices constantly" vs "never dispose of devices". Nor are we talking about a binary choice between current levels of e-waste vs. zero e-waste. Any reduction in e-waste should be considered a good thing. If I can keep my phone for 5 years instead of 2 years due to a replaceable battery, then I'm producing 40% of the e-waste that I was before.

Yes, tech improves, and no one wants the old stuff. But realistically, there isn't anywhere near the level of innovation with new phones as there was 10 or 20 years ago. The phone I bought 5 years ago makes all the same calls, sends the same messages, browses the same internet, takes the same photos, and runs the same apps, as the phone I would buy in the shop today. I'd be quite content to postpone upgrading for 5+ years at a time, and I suspect most people would be too.

Yes, and the adult discussion goes something like this:

We live in the golden age of surveillance. If the authorities want to know where you are, what you buy, who you speak to, what you like, and where you've been, they can get that information. The only thing they cannot do is peek into a conversation if you don't want them to know the contents of your thoughts.

You suggest that perhaps they should be able to do more. This is because you have never lived under a ruthless autocracy, yet.
Yes, but I think that's a poor choice of words; those are not the same thing. There are lots of smart people who are not independent, self-directed, or hard working! My manager was just saying to me yesterday, "we need smart people who know how to get shit done—just hiring smart people isn't enough."
Thanks for letting me know about this. I'd experimented with some local LLM's before, but at the time I couldn't find a good model that was small enough to run on my 3080 Ti.

Out of curiosity is it a “Windows is objectively difficult” problem, or a “Windows is not Linux and I know Linux best” problem?

I’ve only begun using it so my expertise is limited, but I think vcpkg aims to help with some of these difficulties by shipping code as source and then running make on dependencies so they are guaranteed ABI compatible because the same compiler builds everything.

Note from the world of Star Wars gamemastering in old fashioned simulationism: most trauma from DEWS interaction with human or organic target is still kinetic, because penetration of even an inch or two immediately creates a pretty intense steam explosion. A "plasma bolt" that instantaneously burned through into the thoracic cavity would be messier than force feeding the target a hand grenade. More like a stick of dynamite. "Clean" laser weapons of science fiction would not be the reality; lasers powerful enough to cut off arms would be making meaty explosions. This sounds like a super duper efficient way to trauma, but it's still magic. That's a TON of energy - throwing an equivalent ball of explosive is easier and doesn't waste 90% of the emitter power on heating up air.
Impressive project! I remember a friend showed how to render some "demo" style graphics (not a fractal, I believe it was some kind of line-based art) on our pentium. First time I thought the PCs might be the bane of the Amiga (we had an Amiga 2000).

It's way way easier to deal with neutral/slight growth than shrinking. Like take teachers as an example. In an ideal world the demand for them is the same year in year out. Every year X of them will retire and Y new graduates will be hired. In a declining world you need 3% fewer teachers every year so when 3% retire you don't hire new ones. Multiply that across every industry and you have a youth unemployment crisis.

> testing the performance of the sync system while simulating many users typing into the same document doesn't really measure behaviour we have observed "in the wild"

We use co-editing far more commonly than serial editing.

Coming from a background of XP (extreme programming, pair programming) and a Pivotal Labs style approach to co-thinking, even for executive work we require everyone in a meeting (whether at conference table or remote) to be in the document being shared, and instead of giving feedback, comment or edit in place.

We care a LOT about how laggy this works, how coherent it remains, or whether it blows up and has to be restarted, or worse, reverted.

If a firm culture "whiteboards" by having one person at the board and everyone else surfing HackerNews, they might not be exercising this. If a firm culture is that whiteboards are a shared activity, everyone gathered around holding their own marker, or even just grabbing it from each other, they might need to exercise CRDTs this way.

Put another way, if you "Share" in conf room with an HDMI cable to a TV, or share in a Teams or Zoom by window sharing, you may not be a candidate.

If you "share" by dropping a link to the document in a chat, and see by the cursors and bubbles who is following along, you are a candidate.

In "Upwelling" you describe an introverted and solitary creative process, before revealing a sufficient quality update to others.

That is certainly a valid use case for unspooling thoughts from one brain, and if those are the wilds you are observing, makes sense why that's what you'd observe in the wild.

It is not, however, the most productive for inventing solutions to logic puzzles with accuracy and correctness in fewer passes, nor for most any other "group" activity. So maybe your "not what we see in the wild" should be qualified by "but we're actually not looking for live collaboration, we're looking for post drafting merge".

That said, now the choice of the term "auto-merge" is much clearer, advertising your use case right on the tin, if one thinks about it.

So thanks for the upwelling link, repeated here for convenience:

Optimizations are enabled by the semantics of the language. If the language mandated that generated code must conform exactly to specific sequences of operations dictated by the source code, instead of merely respecting the observable behavior of the abstract machine, it would be impossible to optimize C code in the same way that it's impossible to optimize Assembly code.
"the type of people you need at this stage are the type who could be almost be startup founders themselves"

Pretty much. I run a bootstrapped SAAS and built a small team over the years. I havae made so many mistakes when hiring the early employees. So many. The biggest mistake: Hire someone who will be a good fit in a larger team/corporate where they have structure and are told what to do. Do not hire those people as your early employees no matter where they come from or how smart they are in general.

You need people who are "almost" entrepreneurial but cannot do their own thing. They love to own things, have autonomy and can wear multiple hats. They are willing to experiment with you and most importantly, move the needle. Very difficult to find especially when you are a nothing startup.
I would also add that Ireland's corporation tax receipts, particularly from MNCs, are very significant, so the benefits aren't imaginary in any sense. The government has largely squandered those benefits but that's a different matter.
