I suppose the nature of that quote is more about the exaggerated nature of the requirements compared to the rather unlikely ability to fulfill those requirements without gradually climbing at a company with an endless level of advancement in an IC role, but not excluding the possibility it could be done otherwise. That said, I definitely suffer from this problem, but it's in-part a result of both no clear way to advance in most circumstances, and repeated volatility in both the market, world, and my life. Now, there aren't jobs to advance from, even if I could land one, and prior to being laid off, I'd most likely have just continued doing either my regular course of work or eventually being offered a managing role. My impression is that it would be a rare circumstance to be offered a higher level IC position at a different company without making a horizontal move in role and building the trust there.

I wouldn't say I've actually repeated the same arc ever, it would just seem that way on the surface, and maybe I should think about how to make it not seem that way.
Tried this one from 1948? It’s only been downhill from there.

This reads a bit like "when all you have is a hammer" because it seems like what you want is a VM, not a container[^1]. Have you considered using VM software instead of Docker and using an Ubuntu VM directly? Some options:

https://mac.getutm.app/

https://tart.run/

https://orbstack.dev/ (using its "machines" functionality)

[^1]: Of course macOS docker is running a Linux VM under-the-hood, but that's an implementation detail.
Yep, that and the calendar app are the ones I use. I've been experimenting with Aves as a replacement for the gallery app, but not sure what I think about it yet.

I've had a similar idea, except in addition to toasters, it's midsize pickup trucks, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers...

What I've found is that regulations make it impossible to sell simple machines, labor costs make it impossible to compete on price, lawyers make it impossible to go to market without being sued, and consumers who say they want reliable, well-made goods will balk and buy cheap stuff en masse when it comes down to the wire. And that's if you actually succeed in designing and manufacturing a good product.

Someone could do it, I think. But I'm deterred by all the stuff I just wrote, and the people who succeed in businesses that seriously challenge the status quo are the ones aren't deterred by that stuff. And for every one guy who does succeed in pressuring the status quo, a hundred guys flame out... but again, guys who succeed aren't deterred by that either!

In academics, even a negative is useful information. This article could be reframed as "no need to every about changing the climate "

As they point out, even covering 5% of the Sahara, or huge swathes of the Aussie Outback, (both unfathomable large areas) would have negligible effects.

That's good to know.
My memory was that CI was kinda new in 2000. What were you using? Hudson came out in 2005. Cruise Control was 2001, which was we adopted to replace our hand cranked shell scripts on CVS hooks.
Contempt culture is so ugly. The bullshit asymmetry principle is so in play, makes it so hard to reel in or temper the ardent zeal.

You're also off by 15x. Installed size is 247MB on Debian. https://packages.debian.org/trixie/chromium

Chromium is one of the most amazing fully featured bundles of computing the planet has ever built. We should be in awe. But, "this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Contempt is rampant.
That's a question that's hard to ask without pattern matching with a lot of tedious, dark stuff, and nobody on social networks is thinking carefully or applying even a fraction of the energy the HN guidelines ask, so you're just getting pattern matched. There's not much to do about it. Complaining isn't going to change it. It works in similar ways in all communities --- even here, though the specific patterns might occasionally be different.

I'm not rooting for Mastodon (I think Mastodon has the better story, and, for me, much better apps). And it is the most cliquish of the three major alternatives in the space. But this specific criticism isn't very probative.

As a bonus feature, any unreacted carbon tetrachloride is still horrendous even without phosgene conversion. Truly an excellent product, modern stuff just isn't made anywhere near as well.
I’m not worked up over this but the instant negative strikes me as odd for a purely technical question related to how they plan to support traffic for a video site with free videos if they can’t handle a surge in traffic.
"Microsoft is promising that Copilot inside Office apps will change the way documents are created and edited. The Copilot, powered by GPT-4 from OpenAI, will sit alongside Microsoft 365 apps much like an assistant, appearing in a sidebar as a chatbot. It will also be available to summon inline, allowing users to generate text in documents, create PowerPoint presentations based on Word documents, or even help use features like PivotTables in Excel."

How much of these uses of Copilot causes a business' data to be sent to Azure or wherever the Copilot is running?

If the business data has compilance requirements (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.) is Copilot able to meet those requirements to prevent inadvertent disclosure, training on sensitive data, or similar?

If Meta does that, they will be creating their own walled garden next to the Apple one. Meta won't allow pirated software and malware to run rampant on their own store.
I wouldn't worry about crazy requirements; they aren't hard and fast.
There have been hilarious examples of this. DHH, the creator of Rails, once posted about a job posting asking for ten years of Rails experience when at the time Rails was something like nine years old, meaning he was the only person on the planet qualified for the job.

Job postings are often run through HR, who typically lack enough context for the role to know what they truly need. They put in the usual language and pad the requirements. Think about what the real role is, and OBJECTIVELY ask yourself if you could do that job. For example, someone with three years of hard-core React is probably what they really need when they say they want someone with 15 years of Javascript.
I agree, but you have to realize that very often people call it some other names, like "talent" even though it actually means the exact same thing, it is much more politically correct.

And it is indeed what it is. IQ is very heritable and also predicts performance for a lot of stuff, I would say almost any activity; even for the one that do not necessarily interest the high IQ in person.

But society would rather ignore that because it fears if we agree to this truth something like eugenics will gain power. Society doesn't want to think about the fact that reproduction is not exactly a right but more of a privilege on a finite planet with finite ressource.
In fact, most of our current problems, even concerning the climate, can be traced back to having too many people consuming too many ressources. And people want to reproduce, they don't want to be told that they can't because they don't pass the threshold.

So, we have this giant travesty, that culminates on top of massive hypocrisy that runs everywhere.

And yes, for most people even if they practice hard for over 10K hours in any activity, they are not going anywhere without the "talent" (in other words, IQ high enough for the relevant activity plus some other variables).
That's basically what a HTTP client does. It connects to the server (, does some TLS stuff) and sends a request like

GET / HTTP/2

[…other headers]

This would just need to be exposed in a browser.
I'm also using GPT-4 for my side projects. For the database specifically, I can write a short sentence describing my table. Then get GPT-4 to generate the SQL to create it, plus a TypeScript interface and data repository module for access with the methods and SQL for basic CRUD. If I need more than basic CRUD, it can usually create methods for that also.

Its also pretty good at generating basic tests, amongst other things.

I know why we are waging this Cold War, I am asking to what end and I guess I must be more explicit about it:

* Why is Sony selling one of the newest and most powerful CMOS sensors in the world to China?[1]

* Why is Qualcomm selling one of their newest and most powerful ARM processors to China?[2] This is fabbed by TSMC using their 4nm process[3], too.

And expanding on this:

* Why is Nvidia selling their latest processors to China?[4]

* Why is Intel selling their latest processors to China?[5]

* Why is AMD selling their latest processors to China?[6]

What we say and what we do are not lining up. Even Taiwan themselves are (albeit indirectly) selling China the rope with which to hang them (Taiwan).
Home plumbing doesn't generally do multiple pipes. I wouldn't know if that's a code thing or just a complexity thing.

But my understanding is that the heat output of the inline heaters is proportional to flow rate, so you aren't achieving much by running them in parallel instead of series.

It's not that the early devices couldn't handle 3gpm, it's that they couldn't heat 3gpm, so you got really warm water but not hot water. No idea where things stand now.
Why not set your sights a bit higher? In Europe there's a few companies making locally sourced and more sustainable wind turbines the seem to be doing quite well.

Ultimately, people are hired to create an impact. People who can identify and communicate that impact are typically a step ahead of people who just do a skill. I always prefer the person who is less technically skilled but understands why and how they're making an impact. Better to have an B+ technical person working on the right problem, than to have an A+ technical person working on the wrong problem.

Sure, but they are semi-based in reality and give insight to the scope of your work.

* "Perfectly implemented [some feature] on [some project], resulting in perfect launch". Definitely an IC. Maybe not even senior.

* "Led organization-wide effort across 100+ engineers to migrate from X to Y". Might be an IC. Might be a manager. In either case, you don't do this type of work below senior level.
Step 1 to not being randomly inconvenienced by a skittish bank is to use a criminal bank

find a bank that has been criminally charged understandably doesnt care about its relationship with the federal government because nothing will happen, you’ll never get random security screens or closures

in theory that applies to terrorists too, but the whole system is dumb because terrorism isnt that expensive. turns out nobody wants to fly planes into buildings and thats the crux of our national security here and everywhere. everyones social has been leaked multiple times, everyone can pass KYC as an American if they really want to.
This depends entirely on how much money you have to waste.

I'd suggest, at the very least:

* Hiring somebody who knows manufacturing to walk you through what you need to set this up.

* Figuring out the cost of building a toaster in the USA

* Figuring out the regulatory hurdles.

* Figuring out if the people who keep clamoring for a national toaster infrastructure are willing to pay the actual money that requires.

My experience is that a large number of people who profess to want built-in-USA want this only at a price point meeting current toasters. But with much better quality.

If I were to jump into this market, I'd seriously consider running this as a lifestyle luxury item business, charging the few true believers a fortune for a "bespoke toaster hand-made entirely in the U.S.A", build them to last forever, and then maybe automate and build out into the mid-range from there.

I'd still only do this with somebody with manufacturing knowledge working with/for me. And ideally with somebody else's money.
It almost seems like you're asking for permission. Instead, start this project if you're passionate about it and post your progress here on HN. I'm sure you can get lots of presales that way.
Add a voice assistant that only talks about toast. It can answer any question as long as it's about toast.
I inherited a few R420's from my work, and the coolest thing about it is the iDRAC. I'm not a SRE or anything of the sort, so don't get to see stuff like that much, but the utility of the iDRAC is fantastic.

The machines each have 192GB of ram, so I thought I'd set them up as LLM inference machines. I figured that with that much ram, I could load just about any model.

Then I discovered how slow the CPUs on these older machines is. It was so utterly slow. I have a machine I bought from Costco a few years ago that was under $1k and came with a RTX 3060 with 12GB of GPU ram. That machine can run around 20+/tokens per second on 13B models (I actually don't know - I stream the text, and cap it at 9 tokens per second so I can actually read it).

The R420? Its tokens per second were in the 0.005 to 0.01 range.

So, yeah, not a good CPU for that sort of task. For other stuff, sure. I thought I'd setup a small file server with one instead, but the fans are so jet engine loud that it's intolerable to have in any part of the house, even when managing fan speeds with software.
I've found GPT-4 to be alot better than the free version of ChatGPT (which uses the earlier GPT 3.5).
That idea is exactly what killed Be. Well, one of the things, anyway.

I think it's often used in metrics to count as a reading.
That question kind of seems like bait, and that incident has nothing to do with why one platform is better than another. And your conclusion is to go back to a platform that's being run to the ground by a combination of a terrible CEO and nefarious political influence? Well, I won't argue against your freedom to make your own choice here, but I don't see the logic in it.
Regardless of fakes, I would rather see fake Adidas show up when I search Adidas shoes than see a bunch of Nikes and New Balance.
Slot toasters, or toaster ovens?

In an ironic way given your background, toaster ovens probably set you up against untenable competition: everybody who has ever built a toaster oven is currently jamming SBCs into them to run PID for "smart toasters". Prices are coming down and features are going up, plus these are product line extensions that create further price pressure on "non-smart toasters".

There could be room to do something interesting with slot toasters, which are sort of a forgotten category.
Eating less cholesterol doesn't significantly lower blood cholesterol levels. Almost all of the cholesterol in your body is endogenously produced.

And high LDL isn't necessarily a problem by itself. The problem happens when cholesterol is formed into plaques as a reaction to arterial damage. Better to prevent that damage in the first place rather than worrying about cholesterol levels.

Maybe unrelated, but I have a Deciso DEC2752, which is an OPNsense firewall appliance. For some reason Deciso made it in the Netherlands instead of China or Taiwan. I don't know for sure how much cheaper, or more expensive it would be if it was Asian-made.

It's unique for sure. It's a bit pricey but other firewalls were less-than-statisfactory. Chinese Mini PC boxes were too little, Supermicro Front I/O boxes were too much. I don't exactly like Netgate's alternative either.
Watts Are the Way
Oh I agree 100%, the 10,000 hours thing is a cliché and the popular interpretation that 10,000 hours of an activity equals mastery has been throughly debunked. I roll my eyes whenever I see it mentioned.

I’m giving Norvig a pass here because I don’t remember it being such a cliché in 2008, and because I appreciate the point he’s making about the importance of practice. (Early in my programming education I often felt that I might just not be cut out for programming, and I wish more articles at the time had emphasized that it takes a lot of practice to become a good programmer).

What is it about journalists that you enjoy? It's hard for me to think of a group I'd like to hear less from. They don't seem all that impressive or interesting.

In any case, based on what OP describes, and the groups you mentioned, is it fair to say it's a hothouse of left wing political discourse?

If you think 2 million is approximately 0, you should look at the stats from other professions. For example, there are actually more farmers than physicians.

Agendas are critical and so is the purpose of the meeting.

Is the purpose of the meeting to inform, decide, workshop, or persuade?

If it's to inform, it should be an email, but some people do not read them, so you need to sometimes read the email to them in a meeting.

If it's to decide, do you have the people that will decide called out in the agenda? Do they have the necessary information or have they done the necessary work to make a decision in the meeting?

If it's a workshop, do you have the invitees pared-down to those that will be actively participating? Is there work they need to complete before the meeting, so they can be active participants?

If it's to persuade, these should be in smaller formats. Preferably 1-1 to start, so objections and resistance are raised in low(er) stakes meetings.

Meetings should end with a summary of decisions, next steps, or some other call to action. Preferably these are recorded somewhere and distributed to the rest of the attendees or a wider audience if needed.
Respect doesn't mean fawning over somebody because you want to sleep with them, and confusing the two of them shows a lack of self awareness that makes it quite rational to avoid dating you.

You can't respect what you don't understand. Perhaps seek first to understand your potential partner, in a way that you can only arrive at through deep and personal conversation. Then you'll both know if she's truly deserving of your respect.
This is a common problem when migrating a system from threads to virtual threads. In general, using primitives which block the current thread and prevent forward progress can quickly lead to deadlocks. It’s a hard issue to catch because in the past usually this would get “solved” by spawning a new thread to complete the task but in a world with virtual threads the runtime is usually reluctant to spawn more threads, so there’s nothing that can service more work if you’ve blocked all the threads.
