It’s totally fine if you want to say “defund pure mathematics!” I was complaining about the bait-and-switch people do when they take someone who was hired to do pure mathematics and then demand applications from them. It’s disingenuous and unfair. Likewise for the superstar researcher who is demanded to teach!

Two Mindsets That Can Create Rude or Polite Coworkers
All the interviewing has gone to podcasts I think.
"All" is quite the claim.
That's not a good point at all. Counterfeiting physical items is not the same as copying information. Physical items are naturally scarce, information is naturally abundant and artificially made scarce by force of law. Physical items actually exist in the real world, unlike information.
We're not talking about people with disabilities, we're talking about people who are choosing to not join the rest of society and using modern technologies to sustain modern life. Someone doesn't want to do banking online? Only wants to pay cash for everything? Doesn't want to carry a cellphone? That's their choice, it doesn't mean everyone else has to act like that too or even streamline their ability to behave that way. Shops can only accept cards, banks can have a reduced number of physical locations and hours, telephone companies can stop offering payphones.
Israel? Where did you read this?
That's because it's far from an unsolvable problem. In the US, though, there is big money lobbying that works hard to keep the problem unsolved.

That's a good way to remind oneself how much our perception of a problem is manipulated by the news. That works both ways. They can blackhole a major event, or put a giant microscope on top of a tiny event. You may decide to trust or distrust the news, but you can't decide to hear about something you don't know is happening, and likewise, even if you think another "it's the end of the world" coverage is bullshit, it will still occupy the debate, and therefore your mind.

> Edit to add: I didn't address your argument, that commit messages are too hard to find.
First, I don't find this to be true. I rarely have trouble following the history of a line of code, a function, or a file.

I don’t think this is proper way of reasoning. What is hard and easy is subjective. And you discuss it as it would be objective. Word against word. It would be wise to have some poll and see results.

If one geek is writing and reading commit messages doesn’t mean it’s easily accessible by everyone. It’s hard to make something as a widespread standard if tooling doesn’t make it super easy to access.
Allow people to leave kudos and emoji to other people commits messages and people will start making them better :D And later show heroic people with git —-stats

Hi I'm David - I love building and scaling products end-to-end for organizations of all sizes - startups, large enterprises, both public and private sector. Run a software/DevOps consultancy, actively building as well as maintaining service offerings for a number of customers. Passionate about building and iterating quickly while incorporating best practices for tooling, software quality, devops, and infosec. Actively involved in open source. Not one for a typical clock-in/clock-out 9-5, more of an all-in mindset and drive - always optimizing for growth. Open to FTE as well.
I was shocked when it was announced even though there were rumors of it for years. To me it just doesn't look like an apple product...

I am also firmly in the vanilla config camp.

Stanford Research Computing | Stanford, CA (next to Palo Alto) | Full-time | Four positions | HYBRID/ONSITE

Stanford Research Computing (https://srcc.stanford.edu) is a collaboration between University IT and the Vice Provost and Dean of Research. We operate HPC environments for researchers, we do one-time consultations on projects (from software and pipelines, to data management, to physical building design and fit-out), and we provide contract support for individual Labs, Departments, and Schools.

We have four open positions:

• GPU Cluster System Admin: We're looking to get an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD for researchers to use. Besides running the system, you'll help users scope their jobs to maximize utilization. You should already know CUDA; integration with HPC; and ideally one or more of AI/ML software and frameworks, deep learning, and LLM training. More info: http://phxc1b.rfer.us/STANFORDOVPPFC

• Cloud Engineer: Most of our researchers use Google Cloud, but it can be difficult to manage, from admin and cost standpoints. Your job would be to help researchers deal with it all! You should already know Linux sysadmin stuff, as well as methods for doing compute in the cloud (from Compute Engine to k8s). GCP-wise, knowing BigQuery would be helpful. More info: http://phxc1b.rfer.us/STANFORD9AaPFE

• Data Center Engineer: You'll be based full-time at our primary research data center in Menlo Park (on the SLAC campus). This position includes everything from racking and cabling to maintaining and troubleshooting power distribution (415v Starline bus), UPS (spinning-mass), generators, VFDs, air handlers, chillers, PLCs, and the like. More info: http://phxc1b.rfer.us/STANFORD28DPFA

• Data Center Director: Our current Data Center Manager is getting ready to retire! We want to have a replacement hired in advance of that, to ensure a smooth transition. You'll manage two Data Center Engineers, work with Stanford Facilities folks, and possibly oversee construction of a future research data center. More info: http://phxc1b.rfer.us/STANFORDca_PFB

The data center positions are onsite; the others are hybrid. If you don't already live in the Bay Area, we provide a relocation incentive. Depending on where you live, we provide free transit passes. Unfortunately, if you don't commute, you will have to pay for parking for the days you're on-site (except at the data center). There is some on-call around the holidays. We get a 403(b) match, good healthcare, and 30+ days off per year (holidays + vacation). All Benefits are all publicly documented at https://cardinalatwork.stanford.edu/benefits-rewards.

If you have questions, feel free to reply here or email me (the info is in my profile)!

No, it doesn't support directly importing XD files. I plan to keep using XD for existing XD projects.

The typical work contract also extends to outside work hours and personal devices.
It's a fair question. To be fair, I entered my field post pharmacy school in 2013 and was immediately place in a middle manager position. The "old dogs" spoke a lot about the days of old in which they did have a lot of power and flexibility. I've since moved up in another company into a national VP level position and I hear the same from older VPs, they used to have more power and flexibility. So anecdotally, I think there has been a lot of consolidation and power hoarding in high level executive positions.

I think the "code should be self-documenting" view is a bit simplistic.

Good comments shouldn't explain what the code is doing, I agree that should be evident from the code itself if it's clear enough. However, why the code is doing what it's doing, or why it's being done in a certain way and not in a different way, is meta-information that is very hard to express in the code itself, and that's where comments are most useful.
Along with other issues stated, I already keep my dryer lint as an emergency tinder supply for survival situations (or the occasional campfire mishap).

Cloudflare is essentially a massive mitm proxy. If you manage to pwn a key, you have access to traffic.

> I don’t think most programmers code for fun in their free time.

Maybe not, I haven't done a study. But literally every dev that I personally know (well enough to know what they do in their free time) does this.

> save you from people who would otherwise come to you and ask for changes or shift priorities on daily basis.

The problem is that one of the jobs of a manager is to shield devs from this. A manager who is bad enough that they aren't able to do that is probably also a manager who won't stop (or may even take part in) the abuse of Agile mechanisms as leverage over the devs.

I think this problem is one of the main reasons why agile is largely a failure.
It's even worse in Chinese language entry when you search for a dish that also happens to be the name of a place, e.g. Chongqing xiaomian (noodle) and then it shows you noodle places in Chongqing. But then Yangzhou fried rice does show you places locally that do it. You never know till after you search what's going to happen.

It seems so simple to fix too. Favor close results over distant ones, and if no results are found within a couple of unzoom levels, pop a suggestion. And in particular if a string of searches is happening for different dishes, there should be a "this user is looking for something to eat right now" flag that engages to prevent serving results on the other side of the planet.
Yeah - just so we're clear on this: I have problems with how Gary gets lionized by a lot of people but I don't think he should be in corporate servitude - he should just've been able to file for bankruptcy after he served his jailtime and that should've been it. Ideally it'd scare him straight and he could pick up his life again afterwards - maybe build up something to have a bit of a retirement again.

As far as I understand, the SBCL compiles each function separately, and can fall back to very slow codepaths in doing so. Getting peak performance out of Common Lisp takes some effort.

Like that, but hornier.
That's extremely pertinent information, why didn't you say so?

An MS probably doesn't have that much more of a causal effect on your ability to do good ML work, as opposed to an equivalent amount of diligent self-directed study, which is what I assumed you were considering. But *the hiring market is dumb*, hence my spiel about social signals.

So now I'm less confident about the hiatus. I still don't think it's a good idea, but certainly not as terrible, and I think the HN consensus would be slightly in favor of it.

If you haven't already, consider posting this question to teamblind. Yes it's an incredibly toxic community, but it attracts people ruthlessly interested in maximizing their compensation. HN is biased towards entrepreneurship.
I wonder if comparing quarters is the best metric, given the yearly release cycle of their main cashcow. (eg the sales bump when new iPhones come out)
I have personal stuff on my work machine. I don’t need to say any more than that because in your eyes it’s inherently unjustifiable.

So, would you care to more explicitly tell me what you think about my intelligence or ability to behave rationally compared to you? Or is there potentially some room for nuance here?
Because there are real problems to work on that benefit from the sort of problem solving with algorithms that students are hoping to do.
And even in the western world companies would do self-censorship, so they would pass rules of the apple store (reddit case), pass "rules" of payment providers (mastercard/visa for OF) or please the advertisers (youtube/ig rules).

> I bet there were similar reservations about the initial iPhone

There were not.
I agree, it is a surprise. Vision Pro feels niche, at least for now. In some ways, Meta's new smart glasses almost seem like something more along the mass market "lifestyle" concept that Apple would normally go for.

With Large Multimodal Models coming online now, it really seems like that Meta product has a lot of room to grow.

Recognizing the world around you, and giving you very intelligent audio feedback on it seems pretty darn useful. Especially in a form factor that people have already accepted out in the public. The LMM -> audio playback interface seems like a great way to get around the display issues for a sci-fi Google Glass.

But I suppose Apple will likely be later to market in that space as well, with an even more perfect product. That's assuming they can go from Siri to leading edge LMM.
I love Home Assistant but I have yet to venture into the ESP32 board route of things. Can someone point to a good guide to getting started with these boards? How much soldering and/or microcontroller experience is needed?
The iPhone remaining king means they can't afford to miss any diversification opportunity.

If the Vision Pro has any chance of going places, it would be foolish to not put as much steam as possible behind it. At worse it's just a product that will be remembered as Apple being inventive.
