Blatantly obvious bugs and well-known bad practices every few lines. You can't ever trust the code without rewriting it function by function.

Second place: All territory, no map.

Is there a design document? An architecture description? Comments that tell why, not just what? If a new person starts work on the code, do they have to step through it to figure out what's going on, or is there a map, signposts, and a guidebook?
> I think even the next time I want to change jobs, there are platforms I'll use before I go back to LinkedIn.

Like what? I'm genuinely curious because I've found my last two jobs through LinkedIn recruiters and I would like to know if there's a better platform out there to be my digital resume / recruiter spam dumping ground

> It's unlikely that the Boeing executives pushed a new window

Those executives are responsible for the culture, setting the priority, dictating the level of safety - and putting pressure to release, pushing people to cut corners and save cost.

Of course they "didn't push a new window". But they're where the buck stops. So if it's a build issue, they have their responsibility.
Politics and war discussions

This is true, they pull people in, but it's the why of it that counts.

LinkedIn, once it became the defacto job board, had no where to grow.

They need more users, more members, more engagement, so that their numbers look ever greater, and therefore their stock continues to rise.

A plateau is a horror to such companies. It's never enough to do a thing, and do it well.

Even if every person on the planet logged on daily, and spent 16 hours doing things, someone at LinkedIn would be going bananas because it wasn't 16.2 hrs.

And thus, it turns to trash.
Intentional move by Linkedin. They wanted to make it more social to make it more "sticky" and boost engagement stats. So making it feel more like social media that people routinely visit vs a static career page you only look at when you're job hunting. Hence the feed and the algorithm and the self-promotional and random topic posts. I have a dude in my feed who routinely posts about his son and things they do on weekends. It's basically facebook now.
I think people think that light goes through glass like a laser beam nothing in its way. Just flying right through. But it's actually like a pool ball hitting another pool ago and so on. The original photon of light is not what you see on the other side of the glass.

Of course, it's absolutely DVC. The problem is that I've never seen a DVC solution that solves the problem by making the hosting decentralized. So all of the huge problems I listed still exist even with these DVC packages. What's more is, even in addition to the cost of the hosting, some of the DVC packages cost money on top of that.
So, when a researcher deletes a file to make room for others on their storage provider and/or moves institutions and their account gets deleted, the data is gone. The only way around this is to use torrent or ipfs.

Also, I'm not sure what your issue with ipfs is; If it's 'I saw something something crypto one time' - it's a really poor argument. IPFS works completely independently of any crypto - it has nothing really to do with it.
The solution can also be torrent - I don't care too much - it's just possible that IPFS can run with far less resource usage on lower power, etc because it's more modern (likely uses better algorithms in the protocol, deals with modern filesystems better, with better performance, hopefully have better security, etc) and it's likely easier to implement. But it doesn't matter if it's torrent because it would work essentially the same way.
Ask HN: Advanced topics of study for senior developers
Long story short, I'm currently employed in a company where my skills are stagnating, but which I'm planning on being employed by long-term. So I've been trying to keep my skills up to date, in lieu of more direct, cutting edge experience.

To date I've studied the following, but don't have the free time to build anything of significance:

- Web Application Security

- 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know (book)

- Modularization / Single Responsibility / Programming Best Practices

- A little bit of React

- Test-Driven Development

- Some administration related info in my bread-and-butter of choice (Java)

- Project Management

- A variety of books on leadership

- Technical leadership

In security and architecture I'm definitely on the beginning side of things and may do more.

I'm wondering: is there much else out there topic-wise that could provide any value?

Ideologies are a tool to explain the world. And if you do not use the scientific brain, the energy wise cheap heuristics take over.

All is just caused by one group, one thing, one enemy. The analytical capabilities of a mouse seeing cats in every shadow.
"Even if" is an odd phrasing. Why would you expect that to be possible? LLMs don't have direct access to their training set. Having a book in the training set just means they emit text in the style of the book - it's not like a database they can query. But they can summarize very well, if the text is front of them.
The instructions need significant tuning. You should construct a few test cases, ranging from minor tweaks (close alignment in CV/job) to highly divergent (librarian applying to medical director of heart clinic).

With a couple quick attempts, it completely changed all of my 8 jobs over 20 years to include mentions of the target job, even if it meant adding unbelievable lies like running a scuba certification program and improving training using my knowledge of library sciences. The instructions may need examples of how to remain truthful and to just skip roles that are hopelessly unrelated instead of fabrication.

You could even suggest it adopt a multi-step process with a self-evaluation if that helps. I made a recipe reformatter that worked that way and it improved the output by finding places it accidentally dropped or changed an ingredient's amount, for example.

Seems like BYD has surpassed Tesla as the biggest EV maker as of the end of 2023: https://www.ft.com/content/716c9b0b-d8cd-491a-a91b-d70c1e540... (https://archive.is/LOiYh)

I'm guessing that Musk's unwillingness to work with the rules and norms in the markets Tesla is trying to enter, will be Tesla's downfall. Hopefully Tesla could somehow get rid of Musk as it seems like he is constantly holding Tesla back quite a bit. (edit: some context: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

Fun fact: they dim the interior lights when you're landing at night so your eyes are already adjusted to the darkness if an evacuation is required.

It's not always noticeable since they are sometimes already dim (especially on later flights when people might be trying to sleep, but they will turn the lights on for their safety check and then turn them off again).

I gave LinkedIn a serious go five years ago and estimate I invested around ten hours a week interacting with spammers, fake jobs, and worse. And the in-app chat didn't work at all. I had to ctrl-r the website to receive a new message. Have they fixed that bug yet?

At one point I had followed all of the CEOs in India because they were claiming there were so many great jobs in India. Since they followed me back I started conversations with all of them in an attempt to get a work visa for India --- near the end of an entire year searching for a job in America on Linkedin I was pretty disillusioned with the local job market. All of these CEOs in India ghosted me! Finally a friend from India explained that there is no work visa for American programmers and that is why they were dropping the conversation.

After that I decided to delete the account since it seemed to be mostly wasting my time.

At local meetups everyone tells me to get on there, that it is the only way I'll find a job. Then I ask them: well, what job have you found on there? But they are looking for a job, so they explain to me that is why they are on Linkedin. After this the other party tends to offer to diagnose me with depression or autism if I do not find someone else to IRL network with.

Yeah, mine too (although my father died a few years back).

That being said, I was at a colleagues wedding and his grandparents were the same age as my parents, which was pretty odd.
I found it suggests too much maintanence on the legacy system and not enough refactoring.

Legacy systems shouldn't be patched with one line changes forever, you need to evolve them over time to become the modern system you want. You're never going to get "the big rewrite", or at least I'd be concerned if you did.
Is there a term similar to "transformative" but instead for describing results created from but not remotely similar to existing copyrighted works? A term meaning "created from works but doesn't copy expression"? For example, suppose I take the upper left pixel from a hundred thousand images, then arrange the collected pixels into a new image (using an unspecified combination of manual and/or automatic methods).

It's not out of the question that model weights would be <that hypothetical term for "created from works but doesn't copy expression">.

Is there any P2P network that fits that criteria? The first time you connect, you need to know at least one publicly reachable node but I fail to see how that relates to WebSocket/WebRTC.

These gurus. Very virtuous. Servant leaders. "I saw one of my team member in elevator. He was very down. I asked him. He said was worried about the last quarter's results.

I think if we make it a habit, we can make the world a better place."

It was trained on "textbook quality" synthetic data + some high quality web data.

Not saying I agree or disagree with your conclusion (I'm undecided), but I disagree with your reasoning. The question whether the Rundfunkbeitrag is good is partly philosophical ("what is the role of the state?") and partly practical ("does the state provide better media than private enterprise?"), and I don't think this example sheds light on either aspect.
Sadly, that's the story of most great technology and manufacturing companies of the past.

Maximizing profit is a good thing that a healthy company should do, but if it wants to remain a healthy company in the future then it should not be done "at all costs"... Profit needs to be balanced with: safety, quality, and the humans who research, create, and manufacture the products. Too much emphasis is put on the one person at the very top who often makes decisions that sacrifice safety, quality, and the humans who research, create, and manufacture the products.
Minds are blown when people learn assembly isn't really assembly anymore.
Social networks tend converge, in my opinion.

It probably is because of the constant search for "engagement" so they either copy same dynamics or discover the same triggers.

Point is, given the same objective function you get similar solutions.

I wished it was otherwise, particularly for LinkedIn. The combo of a social graph with everyone's CV should be a treasure for say advising on career advancement, crafting educational programs, bypassing traditional hiring, and what not. Instead, we have the Nth iteration of MySpace.

Thanks, Andrew. And I’m happy to send links to a free read only verizon of the standard of helpful. Or do a webinar with Andrew on 7010 to demonstrate the moderate AI ethicist stance which I hope I embody but don’t need to focus on titles too much. My ideology or agenda, as it were, is that AI governance prioritizes ecological flourishing and human wellbeing at the outset of design, which also means the outset of funding. Accountability then moved from a focus on the output of one AI system or product to how the people making and releasing it demonstrate their ongoing, full value chain commitment to giving back more to the planet than they take and working to create genuine l, symbiosis level caregiving oriented value to an end user.

Looking at the old intersection on the satellite map photos, it’s a classic obstructed-A-pillar deathtrap with traffic lights glued on as a failed band-aid fix.

See also Ipley Cross, which had the same issue until it was altered last year or so into two right-angle T-intersections separated by a few hundred feet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23024275 (4 years ago, 144 comments)

For those in other regions: US traffic signals generally permit a right turn at a stop/red signal after coming to a complete stop, do not use photo enforcement to detect red light violations, and are sometimes ignored by drivers when they don’t see any cross-traffic worth slowing down for. These three properties exacerbate the safety issues with scissor intersections and inhibit the effectiveness of signaling-only fixes.
Cute hack! Luckily my definition of "old" is not the same as the author's, so documents from 2000, from 1980, from 1890, from 1450, from 375 BC, and from 1750 BC already all look very different.
Russia indeed spans both Europe and Asia but almost all Russians live in the European part and majority of all Russian history and culture happened or is linked to Europe, not Asia. Similarly Turkey technically is also in Europe (small part of Turkish territory) but nobody seriously claims that Turkey is a European country based on this technicality. Another example would be Israel which technically is not in Europe but is considered to be more European than Middle Eastern. So the Brits not being European is not really such an outlandish claim. Especially that there is a growing tendency for 'European' to actually mean 'related to European Union' instead of its original, geographic meaning.

Why don't you specifically name these "powers that be" and show some evidence for their meddling? In reality, nobody's really stopping countries from doing these things locally except the economic dynamics of a given industry and their own bad internal policies. Contrary examples of countries bootstrapping themselves into enough sucess to make their economies more advanced for large investments in sophisticated crop and other industries abound.

Your vague claim about the powers that be is (I suspect) a common and popular leftist trope even today that a vast global, neocolonial conspiracy of mysterious western power centers crushes the poor helpless third world into oppresion at every turn and is responsible for its many dysfunctions, while often conveniently ignoring contrary examples of success stories or internal sources of fault and problems.

A curious detail of this notion is just how implicitly condescending its proponents assumptions about agency and self-administration with people and institutions in these developing country are.

Self promotion partly via virtue signaling by "supporting the current thing" (war, politics), everyone's making their gender or race their whole identity even in work context, oh I'm a GDE now, wannabe influencers churning out "my top 20 books about coding interviews" posts twice a day, rehashing the landing page of a popular technology in a 10 page PDF, some fake house building technology (from 2004) that somehow will revolutionize housing, code snippets that do trivial things with 5 arrows on them, reposting poor quality work memes and cartoons from reddit with ten emojies and a caption "wdyt".

My LinkedIn experience is insufferable, and honestly, I don't even know what would make it better. Now that I'm happy at my workplace and extremely busy in my personal life, I check in once a month, scroll a minute, and feel somehow sick, so close the window immediately.
This is why we still have the income tax system that we do. It’s a $14 billion a year industry. I’ve talked to people who work the lobbying system very hard. There’s lots of wining and dining to make sure no one messes with the complexity of the system.

We need more people who are immune to lobbying in government positions. We’ll see how this goes.. depending on the next election cycle this will either get quashed quickly, or, fingers crossed, might fight on against a growing backlash.
In the city where I live, also in the Netherlands, we had multiple of these but all of them got converted back to normal intersections with traffic lights and it has been a huge improvement.

> I have a boatload of feature creep ideas for you to reject... Shall I post them here, or DM you?

Ha! Either, or feel free to email me at jeff@umami.recipes.

> Take a pic of a recipe, OCR if can

The app actually has an OCR recipe importer (tap "Add Recipe" > "Scan Recipe"). It uses Apple's native iOS OCR library, which inserts text directly from the camera.

It doesn't support importing from an existing photo yet though -- that's high up on my list to build (after Android).

> else host the pic?

You can upload photos for recipes!

> However, an interesting aspect of the "recipe" app logic is that it can apply to, say, mechanics

That's a really good point. I bet much of the underlying functionality could be re-used in a completely different app focused on something like mechanics. Another example I've thought about is a separate app specific to cocktail recipes, with features tailored around mixology and bar management.

I don’t see how fossil can be considered efficient when you have to consider digging it up, shipping it around, refining it, shipping it around again, burning it, piping the electricity for long distances. and if you want to argue that solar installations advantage the rich, surely you have to count the supply chain capital involved in fossil fuels! Solar plus battery is cheap and getting cheaper. “Inefficient” battery storage just means you need another panel. Every step of the fossil fuel supply chain is capital-intensive, land-intensive, and dirty
