Serious (morbid) question: What will the impact of AI art be on a company such as Corel?

I haven't used a Corel product since the 90s - and I am impressed they are still around...

Any insights one might find interesting about Corel the company and how they survive?

If you are female in Shell, save all your money by 49 and be ready to retire if you have retired from the company. No further tech gigs.

They have some dudes in supply chain who play dirty games over other women who went to arbitration (was not me..never been to arbitration). Will be impossible to have them caught. You will have no dignity when they are done. It is complicated how they do it and at best you will wind up with a best guess of involved parties as there is no legal support in the EEOC after 365 days they will wait.

Some of the involved aren’t even with the company. They have a fully repeatable process for tech workers.

Crazy numbers. Still can't believe Facebook is growing daily and monthly users for the last 15 years. Its low to mid single digits but still.

The topic was AI cults. Do you see minorities building them? No. Too busy trying to work to get even the basics, no time to start a cult
Exactly. The guy was a violent rapist and that’s WHY he was a fan of ACO. It’s honestly mystifying to me that some people don’t intuitively follow that obvious line of logic.
> Which also makes me wonder how many of the shooting stars I've seen recently are just old starlinks burning up.

Probably close to none. The lifetime of the satellites is about 5 years give or take. According to this page [1], a total of 355 satellites have deorbited over the past roughly 5 years. That's an average of about 71 per year or about one every 5 days.

Since planned disposals are done over uninhabited areas (e.g. the pacific ocean), the likelihood of spotting one is very low.

Hope that helps answer your question, even it wasn't necessarily meant seriously :)

Yeah. The HN audience has really changed over the last 15 years or so. It used to be for hackers but now it's apparently not.
In the context of the full article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_satellite_constellatio...), it's clear they're talking about the polar orbits used by the Iridium constellation, which have "seams" around the Atlantic and the Pacific as the "first" set of satellites passing north-to-south overlap with the "last" set of satellites coming back south-to-north on the other side of their orbits. So of the 6 orbital planes used by the Iridium satellites, each plane covers 1/12th of the globe for each "half" of its over-the-poles orbit. So there are two "seams" where handoff is not supported, one off the eastern seaboard and one roughly over Japan.

There's an animation on linked article that explains this pretty well: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/90/Ir...

C4 pushes a broad view on the state of is and will be, with successive "zooming in" at different layers. The act of such allows you to figure out what's necessary and what's not, while also pushing the builders into thinking in terms of reusability/overlap/components/interfaces. Personal experience has proved that I wind up architecting for _less_ using this approach.

Sounds like a company that really needed to reduce its workforce to achieve greater efficiency. It's totally not because they wanted to fire people without firing people. Nope.
I think people who are using "literally" as emphasis instead of really meaning "in a literal sense" are criticized too much. It's just how language evolves.

But saying "literally by definition" for something that has nothing to do with the definition doesn't feel like emphasis, it feels like lying.

You're welcome to point out the flaws and hypocrisies all you like, though I know from my experience as an angry bisexual Wiccan teenager that had to go to a Catholic school and study the bible as part of my education, that it does little good unless you have the goal of looking pompous — especially when the very line you were quoting was

rather than

The former does not imply perfection, nor even an absence of hypocrisy.
That seems extremely high for quite a boring service indeed. But it's also a global service so people in different countries may have a different experience.

Nowadays, Facebook provides no value to me. I don't like it. Still, I probably check it a few times a day when I'm procrastinating. I read the updates of the few acquaintances that still post on it. And I'm tricked into watching a few reels. A few groups are also interesting.

Ironically, I found their ads to be quite relevant. They went from boring t-shirts and gadgets to things that I could actually be interested in.

The Democrats were much more interested in cutting military budgets until, you know, all that fun with Russia... and China... and Israel. We are very quickly remembering why we spend so much.

The American military budget is mostly the "America guarantees everyone can do business with anyone else (but mostly America) so that we can be very wealthy" budget. Remember that we built and sailed the Great White Fleet before world war 1.

Looking for: Full-time entry level work as a software/AI/ML engineer

About:
Recent computer science master's graduate with specialization in ML/AI work: experience in analysis and Bayesian network modeling of medical data (preterm birth prediction and prevention), deep learning, computer vision, robotics, reinforcement learning and more recently, NLP. I recently taught CS courses in NY, and previously studied history and even worked as a paralegal, so communication, presentation and teamwork come naturally.

I love bringing software to life, from AI pipelines to scientific software or games. Two language specific notes: (1) I particularly love working in R and if you do too, I'm your guy(!) and (2) I love learning about functional programming (hence Haskell) and would love to learn more and work with other functional languages.

It depends where you live certainly - if you live close to a big city you will probably never see them. But there are places - like New Zealand - where you can see them fairly often. There are some online trackers you can use.
Once again, It is now clear that the death of Meta Platforms Inc. was totally exaggerated and almost no-one bought the stock when it crashed to $89 when everyone was screaming that 'it was dying'.

It is just business as usual. [0][1] and up 300%+ since ignoring the widespread FUD and buying the stock at $89 - $90.

It'd be more impressive if they actually got all the credentials.

It's good that you think you can absorb a complicated security task, it's useless if you have no way to test or verify this action.
To me, they look like little white dots moving across the sky. Brightness can change as they move too. It'll start off bright and then as it goes away it eventually disappears entirely. Since I usually sit in the same position in the hot tub, I've come to notice that I usually see one of them cross a pretty specific path from north to south, so I've gotten used to looking in that part of the sky as I'm sitting there. It happens so frequently, I get a little disappointed if I don't see one!

Planes are similar, but tend to have flashing or colored lights and obviously aren't as far away.

I'm in a big city, but close to the ocean so I have a bit less light pollution. The city is also heavy military, so that could be part of the frequency.

Update: if you're near any of the spacex launches, you can watch the rocket too. I'm house sitting in Irvine, CA and saw the Monday launch go right near the house. Amazing to watch the plume from the rocket!

Sometimes units of work that a branch would reflect are larger. I agree there are some branches that grow larger than they should, but often there are branches that involve a good number of changes, and breaking it into smaller branches doesn't really make sense either. There will always be branches where there should be multiple meaningful commits, and automatically squashing them all together just defeats the purpose of good commit messages. I don't buy into the idea that branches should always have just one commit or be reflected as a single commit on merge.
Is this with the API or web interface?
> Datacenters mostly use renewable clean energy as well. Environmental concerns are deeply misplaced.

Source? I didn't find much. Google talk about buying "carbon-free energy", which isn't bad, but ultimately just moves the carbon to other uses. Energy is also not the only resource being wasted.

I also tend to think that the way people talk about energy use of technology is misguided, but ultimately data center energy use does likely form a significant part of my personal carbon footprint, which i care about, so it's quite reasonable to argue against finding new exciting ways to use energy when, to me, the benefits are so often unclear or negative.

> 10 minutes of compute in a datacenter is far more environmentally friendly than 10 hours of work by a human.

I don't think this is a good way of looking at it. Lots of things that a computer can do quickly would take a human much longer, but that doesn't mean they are good uses of resources. A better solution is to do neither, and this applies to a lot of what the article talks about.
We need motivation (good managers)
I don't get this, what has probation to do with the notice period? I don't know of anyone in the industry who has a contract with less than 3 (maybe 2) months of notice.

I count three times in this thread (plus apparently again in another thread, although that has no relevance to this one). I respect that I did not convey it in an understandable way. Communication is hard. But it is not clear to me what was interpreted instead, in order to allow me to turn the ship in the right direction.

I might be poorly observing the status quo on these kinds of announcements, but why does it seem like they always happen right as the stock market closes (to me)?

So many tech stocks I follow will have good or bad news at the very end of the day, where the stock price is obviously going to impacted in a specific direction, but I can't act on it because the market is closed. The large price fluctuations happen in after hours trading and, by the time the market opens (to me) the next day, the price is already way up or way down.

How does that work? As a normal person without a ton of money, is there a way I can trade stocks after market close so I can capitalize on obvious situations like this one?

Edit: It's after market close they make the announcements [1].

thanks Matthew! love the transparency and dedication to security as always. really sucks to have this be continuing fallout from Okta's breach. wish large scale key rotation was more easily automatable (or at least as a fallback, there should be a way to track key age on clientside? so that old keys stick out like a sore thumb). i guess in the absence of industry standard key rotation apis someday you might be able to "throw AI at it".

If the seeing is good it's actually possible to spot up hundred satellites with the unaided eye. Due to light pollution, it's unlikely to spot one in most places, though. The ISS at least should be easily visible due to its size, even in places that aren't particularly dark.
MaidSAFE afaict is just another IPFS which you can pay to get your data hosted on.

HyperCore apparently got acquired and they are a company seeling solutions to businesses.

Freenet 2023 is a FOSS project. I'm watching the matrix server for a while. Ian says they're launching the network in 2 weeks. It is a decentralized data store + runtime. So while the original Freenet was analogous to disk, Freenet 2023 is analogous to an entire computer. See https://freenet.org/
I can relate to this, it seems that code hosting providers push their users into having more repos with their CI limitations. I’ve noticed that with GitHub Actions, I assume Atlassian does the same.
That's not necessarily a deterrent :) it really depends where, also would you consider staying in the states for it? Because I know of some reputable places (west coast mostly) where pretty much if you are to the right person's liking and fit their requirements, your admission won't see objections- there's plenty of time to make a decision about it, because the applications (iirc) take place a bit before* the end of the year. Let me know if you need more details!
I’ve been in the same situation. With two laptops you lose the ability to, say, send email directly to your task system.

It’s really easy to say ‘don’t use your personal stuff at work’, but when work is some locked-down behemoth whose view of productivity software is ‘just use Office’, and you’re really trying to be better at your job, using your own tools can be the only solution.

And in my situation, yeah, they didn’t want you bringing things in. I worked in a secure area.
> It would be a company ending event

Given they got out of cloudbleed without any real damage let alone lasting damage, I disagree.

(I don't disagree with your point about how bad of a problem this would be, I'm just insisting that security failure is not taken seriously at all by anyone)
Even in a city you stand a chance if you've got high walls around you. A courtyard garden for example. Just lie back and stare up.

My main issue with this new Campfire thing is that since it's self-hosted, my boss can basically read all my chats with coworkers. Sure, Slack's priciest plan lets them do that too, but most Slack setups I've seen don't bother. Plus, Slack itself isn't as likely to snoop through my messages about pay raises or thinking about quitting, unlike my employer.
It's usually a somewhat like a fast moving little but visible star. Fast as in it would usually cross 1/4 of the visible sky within 20 seconds or so.

You should try to find one once, with the help of an app. It's not that difficult.

> I think it's optimized for discussions before integration, which is largely what PR descriptions and comments are largely used for now.

As a GitHub co-founder, whose fault is that? I have seen many great PR descriptions on GitHub that never make their way into the final inclusion in the main/master git history.

Meanwhile the git project links every commit to the message id whence the original patch (for many years now—not the whole history). Which will be available as long as the email archives are out there somewhere.

And the commit messages get reviewed into a good shape. Something that I’ve never seen anyone do on GitHub.
True, it would be bouncing around between ground and the atmosphere (when it works at all).
