Most people want to minimize the time it takes to resolve whatever issue has led to them being on the phone with support. Giving "bidah6shee8Dahkouju" as your mother's maiden name does not help achieve that.

Using a different made up mother's maiden name at each site is a good idea, but you can use short names that are easy to pronounce and spell for that to get the security benefits without drawing out the time you have to spend with support.
> If you do make a change to the code, then you are probably intending for it to do something different, so now you have to change the test accordingly. It usually just means you have to make the same change in 2 different spots for every piece of unit-tested code you want to change.

Sure, but that's how unit-tested code works in general.
If I am understanding the article correctly, the 1M is for admin costs.
That is indeed what turned me from neutral and mildly interested, having been suckered by the "share" posture,

into a life-long hater.

The culture there was among the worst and most egregious, but it opened the door to unapologetic toxicity that the Valley has never recovered from.

There's no excusing it, no overlooking it, and those who would defend it or ignore it are worse than complicit.
Damn, why did I never think to use a leak sensor? I’ve been goofing around with building some unusual devices and messing with relays and io pins and arduino and completely missed this obvious solution.

It’s literally a device designed to do exactly what I sometimes need (start an action if a circuit closes) and I just never thought about it even though I know how leak sensors work and that there are ones available. Duh!

Stuff like that is why I love HN. Thanks to the author if you’re reading.
If you live in a place that doesn’t require driving, none of this is relevant at all. You can drink all you want in most of China, no one is worried about you driving because most aren’t (but some still do so the government had to crack down, though to be honest, I can’t tell the difference given the typical crazy driving style in Beijing).
> An individual having the best coding experience is rarely the ideal option for the company

I think a company that wants to keep talent for as long as possible without offering FAANG level salaries should reconsider this position. Hiring is super expensive and risky. If you have good people, you want to keep them. I think offering flexible, meaningful and enjoyable work is a great way to keep people around longer and if it matters to them that they have a space where they can focus, I would give it to them. Creating an environment where they are less happy probably will make them look elsewhere.

That said, I do agree that siloed work comes with a set of issues, but I think there are other solutions to the problem.

> It's also not like we haven't tried to make remote work and other options be successful. The reality is that it's something we can pretty effectively A/B test. The results have been fairly consistent across fields and even companies. Physically collaborative environments yield better and faster results.

I have never heard this and I don't even know how you would measure it. There are so many variables this would affect, not to mention, how do you even measure productivity short and long term? Do you also measure turnover? I don't think we actually know nor do I think results from one place translate over to another. I've done both and both have worked and have had their own set of challenges. My personal take is that hiring good people matters more than whatever setup you have. Remote gives you a bigger pool of people to pick from and is desirable by many, so based on that I think that it can give a very big competitive advantage.
Current AI is nowhere close to be good enough for that. After all, there are literally hundreds of lives at stake every given minute, not sure you want some whacked together ML model or other run your aircrafts landing approach in bad wheather and high traffic.

> Uber has also made getting around in a lot of cities much safer.

This has been the complete polar opposite of my experience in NYC. The professional taxi drivers are pretty consistent, like 1/4 uber/lyft drivers barely know how to drive at all. I distinctly remember one driver so terrifyingly incompetent I made him pull over and let me out of the car five miles from where I was going...

I'm sure they have some data, but it is probably considered sensitive. If I have a disability that needs an accommodation to do my job, that would be something between myself, my boss, and HR.

There are also plenty of people with disabilities who do not declare that status. I've got one. It has zero impact on my work, so I don't report it to HR. So they might not publish even aggregate numbers because they are probably incorrect.
> I can be pointed at almost any Rails repo and have a baseline understanding of where to find things on day 1. That is almost never the case with a Javascript project.

And this is a problem that a type system doesn't fix. A type system can't tell you that all ACL logic is in the reporting subsystem for some reason or prevent two components from managing user state in incompatible ways.

But every project will need to violate the conventions somewhere. If you just made all of the rules a baked-in part of the language you'd end up with a very inflexible language.

There's a lot of power in encoding some things at the human level instead of the machine level.
So he hasn't gotten to experience the joys of phantom braking. He's in Dallas so he probably won't have to deal with much rain, but when he does he'll get to enjoy the auto wipers not turning on during a deluge, but then turning on the fastest setting in a light sprinkle. Why? Who can say.

Cross traffic alerts when backing out of a parking spot? Who wants that dated technology?

A front camera so you can see what's in front of you when pulling into a parking spot? You should always back in!

But the absolute best is a lack of turn signal stalk, or functional horn when pushing the center of the steering wheel. You won't understand frustration until the 475th time you have to look down at the wheel to figure out which button to push when you want to signal your turn. On the horn don't worry, they claim if you just mash your hand around on the right side of the wheel area it'll turn the horn on. In my real-world experience you're more likely to turn on the wipers than trigger the horn, which will be helpful in an emergency.
What would the regulatory enforcement look like?

If I develop a new connector, how do I get the regulator to start enforcing that everyone who uses it is following my standard?

What happens when I find a way to extend the specification in a safe, backwards compatible manner, but this conflicts with the standard as enforced by the regulator?

I’m not saying that these are insurmountable problems, but I feel like the regulator should focus on issues such as safety, and interoperability should be enforced by the company/consortium that develops the standard in the first place.
I asked for it to make up lyrics, when i asked who are you i got:

My name is Eminem, and I am an American rapper. I gained fame with my second album, "The Slim Shady LP" (1999), which features the song "My Name Is" as its opening track and lead single. The song samples British singer Labi Siffre's "Cha-Cha-Cha" and has become one of Eminem's most iconic tracks.

So yeah... its hallucinations are heavily context based.
1. Your unit test probably shouldn't be testing several conditions at once [1]

2. Even if its just one unit test per function/method, even in a medium-sized project it's dozens of tests, many if them overlapping, with no idea if those functions/methods even work together correctly

[1] Depends on function/test

«Most software» - lots of software is run on cloud compute / backend servers and can be built or tuned specifically for the box/vm/container you’re running it on. I would expect AWS/Azure/Google to do that for their PaaS offerings, for cost savings.
That's a bit circular isn't? Of course the people that still live somewhere don't worry about the crime as much, that's part of the reason that they're still there. The folks for whom it's a big deal, tend to leave.
It has been said many times before but tanks and planes cannot enforce a no-gathering order, they cannot stand on street corners enforcing curfews. Tanks and planes cannot defend the incredibly fragile (to attackers) US energy grid, which is too spread out and vulnerable to be defended by boots on the ground anyway. There's also the fact that a large amount of the US military would desert or defect from their posts if tasked with killing American citizens. Organized rebel groups would receive aid from our geopolitical adversaries, and the highways would be destroyed within weeks or months of the anarchy setting in. If the US ever suffered a civil war today, it would end as a country overnight, possibly permanently.

I think the more interesting question is whether anybody who is being paid to manipulate public opinion is a moderator on Reddit. A moderator position has to be much more useful to an astroturf actor than a mere poster because an astroturf mod can remove content that whomever is paying them doesn't like.

Reddit and Wikipedia are the major platforms most vulnerable to this kind of attack because they're moderated by volunteers chosen from within the community.
By safer I meant that by reducing the friction of ordering a driver, more people just go ahead and have someone else drive them home instead of getting behind the wheel while drunk.

Drunk people are stupid. A giant "get me home now" button is more likely to get utilized versus stumbling around trying to wave down a taxi.

Also the cash thing, knowing that a card is 100% going to be accepted is huge, compared with Taxis and "oops the card reader is broken today".

> We believe one of the most powerful manifestations of cutting edge AI will be assistants like Meta AI that can understand the world around you and help you throughout your day, eventually without needing to be prompted.

Another great instance of how advanced mathematics can be used to offload all sorts of cognitive work to AI and eventually AGI. This is what techno-optimism looks like in practice, letting the computer do all of your thinking for you. Eventually this will be extended to procreation and marriage as well so that people don't even have to worry about finding dates. The AGI will pair people up in a optimal way and create the ubermensch.
I saw the same thing, the article is discussing people "being contacted by bots run by companies" is a billion light years away from "15% of content on reddit is corporate trolls"
That's no different from being in an office though.

If someone taps me on the shoulder and says they need a few minutes of my time looking over problematic code or whatever, I can say "sure just give me about 15 minutes to finish off this X/Y/Z"

When someone is relegated to doing this over Slack/Teams/whatever, the other person might have their notifications muted and rarely check for new ones. So it could end up being several hours of waiting.

Just because someone checks in with you IRL and asks if you have time to help with a question doesn't mean you need to be interrupted from "flow".
That's so strange? 'Occluded' would be a suitable word for that meaning-wise though right? When did astronomy decide to use such a close sounding but different meaning word? Did occult mean what it does now when they started? Language is so strange
In my experience, the typical picnic table sized open-plan/hotdesk furniture usually seats six (three per long side) so, in practice, six people seems like the most common group sizing.
I saw a lot of comments like that on HN, especially about Copilot. Honestly they confused me because I used Copilot for a while and it was like they were using a totally different way better product.
They also look like the low-quality aftermarket headlights that are ubiquitous on US roads.
I can't even find the paper. The full article can be found at [0] and there is no citation for the study, just this:

> Two significant studies, the Pew Research Center study conducted in 2018 and the Computers in Human Behavior study published in 2020, have shed light on the prevalence and impact of corporate trolls on Reddit.

So I went looking for 2020 publications in the journal, and found 8 articles containing the word "reddit" [1], none of which were about corporate astroturfing.

[0]: https://archive.is/D60ep

[1]: https://www.sciencedirect.com/search?qs=reddit&pub=Computers...

Edit: When I include 2021, I get more articles from 2020, but still nothing related to corporate trolling on reddit or even just astroturfing on reddit in general.

Edit 2: The Pew study, on the other hand, is linked [3], but it's from 2017 and (from what I've skimmed) it doesn't talk about corporate trolling/disinfo other than to say that it happens and linking to news articles which are merely reporting on fake news and thus do not substantiate any percentage claims.

[3]: https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2017/03/29/the-future-o...

Edit 3: I checked the reddit links cited as sources and none of them seem to support any percentage claims, either, just that disinformation campaigns exist and that trolling exists.

I have to wonder if the author is making stuff up as part of some broader agenda or is just trolling, because if this is just a troll, well played.

That’s still not rape as no employees were forced to do anything against their will.

Making large offers to attract employees isn’t even unethical or illegal, much less anyone near rape.
Just an additional note (though I’m coming from the Java side of things), in some managed languages the difference between the stack and the heap is also not as significant as they are in a malloced, manual language. E.g. in case of Java, there is a specific region called the thread-local allocation buffer. This is a region where most objects get allocated to, then the ones that are still alive are moved to an older generation, while the rest is cleared (and used as basically an arena allocator). This is only owned by a single thread, no locks, regularly in cache, there is no real difference to “the stack” from a hardware perspective, like nothing is fundamentally different about the stack.
Gotcha, I thought it was just an electrical certification. However if they won't certify a propane burner and a pot just because it's labeled 'turkey frier'... i'm not sure how they can certify any gas grill, gas range or propane burner of any kind.

Seeing Jupiter, its Great Red Spot, and a line of dots representing 4 of its largest moons, as well as Saturn and its rings through a telescope at a backyard astronomy event when I was a kid was such a ridiculously cool experience. Granted, I was a huge space dork.
I remember PhysX, but my feeling at the time was “yeah I guess NVIDIA would love for me to buy two graphics cards.” On the other hand, processors without any iGPUs are pretty rare by now.
Same. That to me felt more shocking than losing Pluto as a planet.

The problem of "how many CPUs should I use?" is really only answerable empirically in the general case.

The problem of "how many CPUs are available?" is a little more tractable. Currently when running podman, the cpus allocated seems to be available in the /sys fs. I wonder if it's the same under k8s?

podman run --cpus=3.5 -it docker.io/library/alpine:latest /bin/sh
/ # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.max

Feature request for the online model.

It would be great get a sources array in the response. This would make the API stand out compared to others and allow product teams to add AI w/o being afraid of hallucinations.
You need to be able to generate any machine instruction. like clear the cache, turn interrupts off and on, access the hardware bits on the I/O cards, access privileged instructions, etc. The language needs to use every instruction.
In C, there is a feature to embed/call assembly language instructions which are architecture dependent.
Not sure if this is just a moot point, but I'll say it because I'm genuinely curious to hear what people have to say. Anytime I hear theories like this, I feel wary of accepting it as an air-tight reliable outlook because of human limitations. Like, our understanding of quantum physics and all natural laws come from what we can percieve and measure, but there's bound to be phenomena which we can't percieve or measure (either yet, or ever) which limit our understanding of the universe. I understand that science is a constant process, and that we shouldn't jump to conclusions of any theories being "truth" because of this process, but anytime anything like this comes up, I'm always wary of the consequences that occur from all the people who DO dogmatically assert that it's undeniable, especially with how easily theories of predeterminism tend to enable unproductive, nihilistic outlooks. I don't necessarily see science as trivial pursuit because of our human limitations, but I feel like not enough people have learned their lesson about the consequences of eagerly accepting a "work in progress" as "ultimate truth".
ATC was more incompetent than asshole.
Ruby has had a huge decline in the past ten years, IMO.

Also, note that TypeScript is tracked separately from Javascript, which is likely part of its decline. I wouldn't be surprised if JS backends are ultimately declining as well (perhaps Go and Python are taking its place?)
Corporations are systems generally set up to earn as much as possible disregarding everything else, definitely not "groups of people"....
I know at least at one point during the Cassini mission- though I confess I have not followed this in more than a decade it so I don't know if further study has refuted this idea- a popular theory for the rings was that basically Saturn was constantly forming and destroying moons into rings and back: a moon would get torn up and turned into a ring, then slowly clump back together over time and reform as a moon, then the cycle would continue.
They should go to prison like individuals. Instead of the endless settlements suspend their business for a while. They would pay way more attention.
> Why is it that so many people on HN seem totally unable to fathom the concept of "intent"?

Anytime there is a "why is HN like [x]" you need to stop and remember that this is a newsfeed on a tech startup incubator, and that it caters to people with certain points of view, education, and experiences.

think about that, what those are, and then revisit your question; it's not rocket science.
Definitively ! I wonder how the 'circadian' cycle looks like on this kind of planet and how it impacts the life.

ATC is supposed to accommodate to the best of their ability. Accommodating here could have been just waiting for a natural gap (which is what I think happened), but I think ATC should have just called Oakland center immediately and had a gap created for 10-20 minutes in the future. It is not like they were the only aircraft on the ILS approach that evening... Though, as I am not a norcal controller, maybe that is against policy.

"Fitness as a general purpose programming language" is (at least in part) an objective claim. If a million people professed to believe that, say, brainfuck was fit as a general purpose programming language that in and of itself would not make it so. This is not the case for being a cohesive religion. If a million people profess to believe some religious belief, that in and of itself is sufficient for that belief to be a cohesive religion.
The other DEI metrics shouldn't be collected either then. People could respond as "other" or "decline to respond" to things like ethnicity or gender. In fact, my workplace DEI charts/metrics are only binary for gender. Clearly these are not accurate.

Man I want to love joblib, but I can't.

One of the smarted ML researchers I know swears by it.

But for whatever reason, in my workflow of prototyping new ML approaches, optimizing and unoptimizing different preprocessing steps, and sometimes migrating data across the cloud, I always seem to start with joblib and then shed it pretty quickly in favor of large JSONL.gz and sqlite3 etc checkpoints that I create after key steps.

Then nobody will use the new compiler because nobody wants to rewrite millions of LOC and introduce new bugs.
The mirrors on this are coated with an element that is specifically good at reflecting IR wavelengths. If it was meant for visible spectrum, it would potentially be coated with a different material.

Complaining about JWST not making visible spectrum light images is like complaining that a hammer doesn't really work driving in a screw. It's not meant to do that, so stop trying to do it, and definitely stop complaining about it since it's just a misunderstanding of its purpose.

The idea that a parent's ideological worries are something that a school should do something about is inherently problematic. Children are always going to have families with ideological differences from their peers. However, this isn't a reason to turn the school itself into the arbiters of those ideological differences.

The school didn't come up with the cartoon, others in society did. Children are going to talk about cartoons that they watch. My parents didn't always like the cartoons some of my classmates watched. Their solution was to not let me watch them, and instill their own set of values in me. They didn't ask the school to shelter me from the existence of other's ideologies.
