Sometimes they hold these meetings not with an investment focus, but rather to gather insights. I know of a few cases where they immediately share these insights with their portfolio companies or friends. Therefore, it might be worth checking if they have something similar in your sector.
The fact that modern cars can be stolen at all is ridiculous. Hanlon's Razor only goes so far; this has to be malice either on the part of the car companies (because every theft results in a new sale) or the insurance companies getting a kickback from the thieves.

The solution is regulatory penalties and/or higher insurance premiums that have to be paid by the manufacturer until their cars are certified by something like the UL as having their security systems designed by somebody who went to college.

But of course what will happen is the politicians will ban Flipper Zero and call the job done.
There are no consequences for Microsoft. It owns a 49% stake in OpenAI, so the only action that OpenAI could take to hurt Microsoft would be to deliberately destroy its own value.
I feel the urge to open a window at those levels. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where that’s the base level.
Whoever is lagging will be open source. It's why AMD open sources FSR but Nvidia doesn't do the same for DLSS. There is nothing benevolent about AMD and nothing evil about Nvidia. They are both performing actions that profit maximize given their situation.
Individual demand for consumption is unbounded. You can depopulate out of this problem, unless your depopulation is extremely targeted at the wealthiest, and the definition of "wealthiest" broadens as overall consumption grows.

> I guess it has a cost, though? I presume OpenAI didn’t like this move. If that’s the case, what might be the consequences?

Until OpenAI releases GPT 5 and it blows everyone away, OpenAI's leverage is constantly decreasing as the gap between their best model and everyone else's best model decreases.

There doesn't seem to be moats right now in this industry except for pure model performance.

Maybe someone should as ChatGPT what OpenAI should do to maintain long-term leadership in this industry?
I see the impact of this with devs on my teams. They come to me saying that company XYZ down the road are paying their senior developers 50% more than the company I work for, but if you dig into the role profile a bit it's clear that a senior at XYZ is the equivalent of a principal at my company. People see the title and make assumptions that the roles are the same. It'd be helpful if we had normalized titles across the industry.
The "if they owe you money" is very important here.

I’ve spread this message far and wide across dozens (hundreds?) of industries. I’m sure we know but I think it’s helpful to be explicit: the mindset at the heart of this is not specific to software and can be found at pretty much every management level and it’s hurting everything.

At “best” you have an endless stream of overworked employees who burn out and get replaced when they stop being able to “keep up” but even then the business has no idea what things actually cost. They can’t do budgeting, they can’t do calculations, every report based on employee productivity is wrong.

Working beyond your means sets the company up for long-term failure.
And they are used to that issue too. A long history of it.
What are y'all using for entitlements? Do you use your feature flag system? A different saas like Stigg? Or a separate internal system?

I was just coming to hn this morning because I wrote about using FF for entitlements: https://prefab.cloud/blog/modeling-product-entitlements-with... I took some inspiration from another of Arnon's posts about SKU format for the post.

FF don't seem like the perfect place for entitlements, but in my experience they're often the best tool at hand to deal with the challenges. I'd love to hear alternative opinions.
Even differences from department to department in the same company can be huge.
What in the world are you talking about? You're not wrong on a few points, ie. the Sackler family should all be thrown in jail for contributing to the opioid crisis. However, as someone who lives in NYC, you're spewing out a false narrative that I find offensive and inaccurate.

First off, have you ever visited a major city anywhere? You're going to see mentally-unwell drug addicts wandering around wherever you go. It's simply a fact of life in a metro area. Dirt in the streets? I mean, what are you even getting at here?

Nice, you took the subway out of the "rich downtown areas a few kilometers away". So that could be Midtown, that could be Williamsburg, that could be Downtown Brooklyn for all we know. Tell us where exactly you went that you saw "abject poverty and open drug use"? Because as someone who lives and works in the areas within the radius of what you seem to be describing, I see a vibrant, competitive, world class mecca of culture and business.

Don't ever get on here and slander NYC like that. Your cities wish they could be as cool and interesting as what we've got here. NYC is a global powerhouse and to come on here and call it dystopian is delusional.

I don't know where you're from, but I bet it's not even close to as relevant as New York City.

My hunch is an Account Team gave a heavily discounted deal to land an upper market customer in order to meet quarterly commitments or get a nice commission.

The customer ended up accepting the $100M price-point as well (https://twitter.com/cioontherun/status/1761882689886433742), so they were clearly mis-tiered. If you can afford (what I assume is) a multi-year contract with a 9 figure TCV, you are generating 9 or 10 figures in revenue.

I've heard of similar shenanigans down the grapevine at w/ Cisco and Dell EMC and absolutely wouldn't be surprised if a similar thing happened at VMWare.
Whatever route you are going, talk to your accountants first and see what information you must have attached to a payment for legal reasons.

You can ignore everything else, but if you can't calculate your taxes later or end on the bad side of a KYC law, you'll have a really bad time.

Also, keep in mind that just because some system sells for more money than you'd expect to spend and lots of companies that you imagine were savvy use it, it doesn't mean that the system is fit for purpose, and even less that it's fit for the purpose you want to give it. Buying doesn't free you from research.
Crazy how I only just heard about it right now.
What's there to complain about?

For the price of awareness, we get access to high quality LLMs we can run from our laptops.
Yes, if you act in a dumb way, you will burn out.

Even those who were at top cannot change a big massive system easily. I saw examples of that. Every change need some amount of energy. Big changes needs massive amounts of energy.

Often, it's easier to regrow a new system from scratch than to change old one.

To change a system, the changer must be more powerful that the system (happens sometimes, but not my case) OR be smart and ride a situation. Usually, system opposes any change, because risk out-weighs benefits. Very rarely, except in desperate situation, system will accept a shock therapy. So, for a system to accept a change, risks must be reduced. When risks are low and benefits are clear, resistance to change is low too.

> Legit question: do you think there will ever be a new commercial desktop operating system...

Nope, no one is willing to put up the money for a long term investment.

If I had the billions, I'd fund an easily installable OS that can accept Windows hardware drivers (easier said than done...). Or the cheaper way would probably to fund a slick Linux distro that an average user isn't scared away, but I guess they already are slick enough nowadays?

I installed a Manjaro KDE distro on a secondary PC a while ago, and on login it had the option of X11 or Wayland, but Wayland wouldn't work on my setup... Sigh, the average user doesn't care to learn about windowing system options, they just want to do their work.
I don't buy the overall structure of this argument: system X is very very complex, so you should never try to do it yourself, instead use an off-the-shelf solution for X.

Perhaps the general case of X is enormously tricky and complex, but in my use case I only need to handle a specific subset of the complexity. Therefore I can build my own solution that only handles the complexity I need, and it will be much simpler than off-the-shelf tools.

I absolutely adopt this stance for X=datetime. My approach to datetime requires two function calls to be provided by the library: convert an epoch time to an ISO formatted time string in a particular TZ, and the inverse. I never touch any other library code; I do all other time manipulation in my own code, in terms of those two functions.

Job titles are bullshit unless you are someone who needs a job title to be taken seriously. Like a woman, immigrant, or anyone else who hasn’t learned that upper middle class way of speaking and writing.

They are especially useful when talking to external people. An email from “Joe Shmoe, engineer” lands very differently than an email from “Joe Shmoe, head of engineering”
The follow-up, when I asked "why do you think so":

My statement that Captain Ahab is missing his left leg is based on common interpretations and summaries of Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick." However, upon reflection, I realize that specific textual evidence is crucial for such details. In the novel, Melville describes how Ahab's leg was taken by the whale, and Ahab uses a whalebone prosthesis as a replacement. The narrative provides vivid descriptions of Ahab's movements and the implications of his injury, which significantly affects his character and actions throughout the story.

To accurately determine which leg Ahab is missing, one would need to consult the text of "Moby-Dick" directly. My previous response was based on a general understanding of the novel and its character, but I acknowledge the importance of textual accuracy, especially with classic literature. If the text specifically states which leg was lost or implies it through Ahab's actions or descriptions, that would be the definitive source.

Outside of broad levels like junior, senior and staff (which are only a little bit useful in cross-company comparisons) job titles are a tool of HR and mostly useless.

I mean, places like Microsoft have 10 or 12 levels; how can you actually distinguish engineers at that granularity? I've worked on teams where everyone is a staff engineer.

EDIT: not sure if the post was edited or I misread you… I was reading US -> EU

For a move from US to EU without employment insurance (which may grant you coverage for existing issues), you will need to go through your state marketplace which is more expensive but should have plans that covers it (by law).

Original text:

I just did such a move from the USA to France. After seeing a specialist in the country, I got access to something called “ALD” (“affectation de longue durée” aka long term chronic issue). This grants me 100% coverage for anything related to my crohn’s, including surgeries and the drugs mentioned in this thread. Note that the drug itself is also capped at $500 per box of 2 pens due to French regulation on drug prices, vs $5000 without insurance in the U.S.).

There has been a lot of effort put into making kids versions of technology, which I think is probably the right move for elementary school aged kids. But once you get into middle and highschool, I think as a kid there is a "coolness" factor to using the same stuff that the pros use. Since at that point you are trying to be an adult, you are trying to do stuff the right way, and hey you might be getting a real job in the field just a couple years anyways. So there is some value I think in making just more friendly of an environment and on boarding process to a tool.
When you say “Linux is much easier” we can’t pick this weird anecdote of troubleshooting a printer.
Is the average printer setup in Linux much easier?
What about getting wifi going out of the box? Or Bluetooth? Or even finding out if something is not right?
I don’t want to sound like a Window defender (heh) but let’s be honest here. If I open device manager and I see a little triangle I know something is wrong. In Linux… ???? Where do you even go?
I get that this is hacker news but Linux unless very polished will forever be a power user platform.

Don’t ask my mom to open the terminal in 2024, she would rather pay the bills with cash in person.

> Whenever Dennis Wilson wants to take a drive in his new SUV, he has to set aside an extra 15 minutes. That’s about how long it takes to remove the car’s steering wheel club, undo four tire locks and lower a yellow bollard before backing out of his driveway.

At that point, why not just disconnect the spark plugs or wire up an electric switch into the starter motor/fuel pump cabling.

No way those thieves pop the hood and troubleshoot your car for 15 minutes if it doesn't start.

You do realize that the US is big enough to do more than one thing at once, right?

We didn't take steps to control the border, and we should have. But blaming aid to Ukraine is more of a political talking point than any kind of reality.

I am new to control theory, since it was not taught in CS curriculum. Other than reading Maxwell's On Governors and Norbert Wiener to get a sense of the history, there is a lot to explore. I have recently been working with ControlSystems.jl in Julia, and can recommend it as a rather intuitive modeling toolkit. Control math can get involved, but there is no reason why the programming should be. There is a package for discrete PIDs, but also for more advanced analyses noted by other commenters.

Quotes from the article you posted:

"FBI data from 2017 showed that of the 20 biggest cities in the United States, San Francisco had the highest rate of property crimes per capita"

"Walgreens could argue that the level of retail theft in San Francisco remains so high that year-over-year decreases are not moving the needle and operating in San Francisco remains unprofitable"

I understand and generally agree with your sentiment but people are safer. Violent crime is down substantially since 2001 and even more since 1990s.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/191219/reported-violent-...

Supisingly, so are motor vehicle thefts. Though, they are on the rise since the pandemic.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/191213/reported-motor-ve...

https://www.statista.com/statistics/191216/reported-motor-ve...

So, KPI wise you can make an argument that it is effective. I may not agree with that argument in that we (USA) spend a lot of money and impose a lot of restrictions on the general population to get there.

Crime has always been a "the sky is falling" kind of a thing even if it's literally one crime. We are more safe than we were in 2001 by any objective measure, whether or not that is "safe enough" is going to be different for everyone...

It's one of the bonkers things to me that the air my parents breathed as children is measurably different from the air we breathe today. (Sort of like how boomer infants had measurable radionuclides in their teeth due to surface testing of atomic weapons, which helped convince the world to ban the practice.)

I've also heard that the total mass of the carbon we've injected into the atmosphere exceeds all the mass of our built world on the surface, which is sort of awesome to think about, but not in the good sense of the word.

Has the world gone soft or something because what is the problem with this? None of the explanations in this article makes sense except that the company apparently made the correct decision because they avoided a candidate who could not handle rejection and disappointment in a professional manner and learn from that disappointment. Employees and candidate employees complain that they're treated like cogs in a machine and want to be more humanized. When they try to humanize someone you get an article like this.

Because these weren't about rejecting candidates in an embarrassing way after a resume had been submitted or a first round interview and laughing at them that they lacked the required skills. This is the complete opposite of that. This is specifically about rejecting final round candidates in a very personal manner. Any professional person who gets to a final round of interviews and is up for the final selection process should want either a phone call or a video call to discuss why they're not getting the opportunity. This allows you to demonstrate your poise and your character for handling disappointing news which comes as a regular course in any job. Also it allows you to interview the hiring manager to get more specific details about what you could have done better because you made it to the end and so it literally comes down to very minor things picking between you and another candidate. You can find out if it's culture fit you can find out if it's some technical expertise. Knowing what those Minor details are that cause you to lose out in a final round allows you to improve your life and your chances at a job in the future.

Handling disappointment with poise and character is a basic life skill that everyone should have learned by their teenage years. It is extremely disappointing that I'm even reading an article like this that people have not been taught the most simple of social skills which is handling disappointment.
