> Employees will be allowed to sell Reddit stock during the offering, the source added.

Anybody know if this was explicitly discussed internally or just offered top down? There's usually some lock out period for employees and this type of "dump on day one" deal smells funny.
>that doesn't make it not dysfunctional

I never said that's not dysfunctional, I said most companies ARE dysfunctional in one way or another, and it's something most workers who've been around the block a few times learn to live with eventually, since they prioritize hobbies, family and having a roof over their heads instand of finding that ideal Goldlacks company that's never dysfunctional in any way, because that doesn't really exist.

Especially traditional companies tend to be insanely dysfunctional when it comes to IT and SW engineering in general. And most people know this but still plenty choose to work there and put up with that dysfunctionality instead of fighting to change it, because like I said, it's just a job that pays the bills, not a personal identity, and a lot of the people in the real world aren't as fussy about this as HN is.
The big one: dealing with people, any people, sucks.

Unfortunately self-driving seems to be an easier problem to solve than improving public transit policy anywhere in the U.S.
This isn't Linux. On windows admin means admin, not super user. And kernel mode is accesible only to signed drivers unless driver signing is disabled (bad idea outside of driver dev labs).

Admin -> SYSTEM while not always easy, it isn't a security boundary per-se. but SYSTEM -> kernel, there is a very well established security boundary. For example, being able to uninstall a security tool like crowdstrike falcon without an uninstall code even as admin or SYSTEM is considered a CVE if you can manage to do so. But there are tools that exploit driver vulns to and can kill EDRs like falcon from kernel mode.

With win11+ BYOVD should be a lot harder and I'm curious if even in kernel mode if a virtualization based security boundary can be kept such as LSA isolation (default in win11, optional/off in win 10).
I am confused about the demo. Is the AI generating the `Weather` component that is used to render the response, or is it just returning the weather in a structure that the `Weather` component expects?

The example code is confusing me, because there is a `render()` method that references both `<Weather>` and `<Spinner>`, but neither of these JSX components are imported into the script. (In fact, `getWeather()` isn't defined, either.) Is that the part I'm missing? The LLM will just see these component references and know how to render them? Or is the codeblock wrong? Because this is technically invalid syntax (reference to undefined).
How's it going! We didn't work together very long but I remember Hunter as a very capable colleague and a good guy.

Just the safe driving alone is a big improvement. Every time I get into an Uber, I hope and pray the driver isn’t aggressive and erratic. You always know what you’re going to get with a Waymo.

Plus, nice and clean Jaguar I-Pace vehicles. No person to talk to and no tipping.

I don't think people realize rooted phones are an actual hazard to 99.95% of people who don't care but don't realize their phone is in an unsafe state. The point is to make a rooted phone hard to use so normal people won't screw themselves over because they got a rooted phone from Facebook marketplace and it was full of hidden malware sending all of their bank logins to someone else.
For longer travel, a convenient way to get to the bus or train station might make public transit more popular.
One thing I can’t understand about this is why purveyors of drugs would want to lace them with, effectively, a poison. The numbers must work out such that not enough of their customers die for it to make a measurable impact on profits.
Legally, it’s not compulsory. Socially and culturally, it definitely is. In the US, if you don’t tip 15%, you’re either an asshole, or you’re saying there’s severe issues with the service.

Owning a car yourself is the most costly option, so I would hope that it is the “best.” Purchase price, depreciation, maintenance, insurance, fuel.

Edit: to be clear I’m putting “best” in quotes because personal car ownership is pretty terrible in terms of value.
Ah, didn't know that, thanks. It seems NSO Group are still alive and kicking in spite of this.
You said it'd be better if it were stupid. The OP and the internet are full of people objecting to "woke" restrictions on AI.

There's plenty of anti-woke idiots out there, is all I'm saying. We don't need an AI for that.
You might find it easier to understand if you had lost a friend or loved-one in a car accident.

Society will have to adapt to the advancements in AI and robotics.

The status quo is not a good option because (globally) cars cause over a million fatalities each year and over 20 million injuries. Driving, riding, or walking near vehicles is one of the most dangerous activities in modern life.

An extremely high percentage of deaths and injuries will be prevented as self-driving cars are deployed, since almost all accidents are due to human error.
Can anyone explain this case?

Why would a US court have any jurisdiction over a foreign Israeli spyware vendor that has already been blacklisted by the US government?

And why would Israel send their spyware source code to WhatsApp even if they lose the case?
You're right, primary hypothesis is better way to state this.

You're also mostly correct that attacking the plaques have not shown significant improvement.

But that only shows that the damage done to the brain is irreversible - if in fact the plaques are the cause/related. It does not show that preventing the plaques/damage is the key.
I recently got diagnosed with C5-C6 disc herniation. I mean, I knew it was there, but only recently it started showing some more serious symptoms. Constant neck pain, right upper arm pain, burning sensation, numbness, sharp pain in the arm on specific neck movements... I've started taking NSAIDs the past week and today I did the scan...

Can’t outrun a bad diet. Obesity starts and ends in the kitchen, not the gym.
Draw a circle around a polygon, and call its radius "1 radian".

Drop perpendiculars from the center of the circle through each side. Pairs of adjacent perpendiculars each subtend an arc of the circle, of length equal to the "exterior angle" between the corresponding sides. Those arcs sum to 2π radians.
The intersection points with the circle from a sort of "dual" polygon to the original, exchanging sides with vertices, and exchanging central angles with exterior angles. (But this dual construction is not uniquely reversible back to a non cyclic polygon or not using the same center)

Now take a polyhedron and choose a center and draw a sphere around it. Drop perpendiculars to faces, intersecting with the sphere to create new "dual" vertices from faces. This time, draw edges between adjacent-face perpendiculars , so each original edge generates a new dual (perpendicular!) edge. This now creates a new face for each vertex of the original shape.
Now we have a dual polyhedron inscribed in a sphere, where each face subtends the 2D "exterior angle" of an vertex of the original polygon.

Note that an exterior (hyper!)angle of a hyperpolyhedron in N-dimensional space is an N-1 dimensional measure (face-dimensional dimensional measure) of a vertex (with its cluster of incident faces). In 2D, there is an isomorphism between pairs-of-edges and ordinary 1D angles. (and edges are 2D hyper-faces). But in higher dimensions we need use N-1 dimensional dual hyperfaces to measure N-1 dimensional exterior angles

I'm not actually sure this really works in n>3 dimensions.

Thinking about HN favorite Geometric Algebra is a little helpful for the intuition here.

For concave shapes, some of these angles are negative, as the relevant side/face is oriented the opposite way from its neighbors, with respect to the enclosing circle/sphere/hypersphere.

These N-1 dimensional angles in N dimensional are called "solid" angles. The unit is the "steradian", which is usually considered dimensionless, but cool cats know that its dimension is really the dimension of normalized hypersurface hyperarea. (Similar to how a

This isn't a new concept, other examples include Solara (React-based) and NiceGUI (Vue-based). It's very practical for internal apps, if you accept that all controls have a small delay due to events being processed server-side.
The slow maps app won't matter much when the built-in modem is stuck on 4G or 5G which is being "turned down" in favor of allocating 8G etc., or even before that when it turns out that it depends on some deprecated cloud API and refuses to degrade gracefully.

Sometimes I think of my first new car from 1997, which had a tape deck in the dash and an optional CD-changer in the trunk. I was happy to find an aftermarket adapter that converted the CD-changer cabling into an iPod adapter in the following decade. And of course such iPod integrations are all obsolete now.

Sometimes I wonder if even Car Play or Android Auto will be just as anachronistic. Imagine if there had been popular Blackberry integrations in the heyday of that product line...

> In the US they are, thanks to Citizens United.

The idea of corporations as legal persons predates the United States. English law recognised trade guilds and religious orders as legal persons as early as the 14th century. There is nothing specifically American about the idea at all-the US inherited it from English law, as did all other common law countries-and English law didn’t invent it either, similar concepts existed in mediaeval Catholic canon law (religious orders as legal persons) and even in Ancient Roman law (which granted legal personhood to pre-Christian priestly colleges)

"at least 5 years of programming (not necessarily professional)" interests me quite a bit as I've been a hobbyist for many years but haven't coded professionally much, but FYI the test sent to my email asks for number of years of professional experience. You might want to update that if you're actually open to applicants with non-professional experience.
I've been hearing about 'The End of Programming" ever since I entered the field back in 1979.

It was bullshit then. It is bullshit now.

You should think of this AI instance as just one more advanced programming language, that's all. It'll be no different from having to learn to program in Java, or in Rust, or in C, or in whatever.

But mark my words, there'll be some poor programmer who will have to do the work of programming.
You're making a lot of assumptions. Like the fact that they could do quality control if they wanted to. Or that they have a steady supply of product. Or that everyone's incentives are aligned. Or that people give a damn about the long term business. Or that users don't also make mistakes. Etc.

I don’t think our speed limits are universally set to be obeyed. If they were set at 25 with the expectation of 30 to 35, it does make sense to acknowledge that if autonomous vehicles will actually do 25.

This is so well summarised. Thank you. I also don’t believe the hype.

I tried to migrate spring boot security configuration between major versions and Copilot was just not able to produce a failure free output no matter how long I tried (I tried to hint a lot but it didn’t help).

And in the end software engineering isn’t as much about writing code than to build systems for a certain purpose and in the first place you need to understand the needs/purpose and therefore talk with people instead of just writing code. Writing code is not difficult. Understanding you domain might be.

Pretty sure this bubble will burst and we will have a second wave in years which might be able to do it all. But not this text generation vodoo we see today.

> I'm so over Uber giving me an estimated time for pickup, having the driver get within range to learn additional details about the trip, then cancelling on me because it doesn't fit their desires.

I remember waiting for a Lyft that was perpetually 8 minutes away, because driver after driver canceled the ride when they saw the destination and presumably didn't want to drive that far. After about 9 or so cancelations and about 45 minutes, I finally got a pickup. Not having to deal with that shit is worth a few extra bucks to me.
Networking and marketing. Many opportunities come through LinkedIn. Plus several other smaller channels. I engage recruiters in conversation, but not one of them has ever come to me with an opportunity that is worth a damn that I would consider leaving my current position for. I've always viewed recruiters as a means for job seekers who don't want to pursue the opportunities themselves.

Of the times I have used a recruiter get get a new job (maybe four or five times over my entire career, only once in the past 23 years), not once have any of them helped in the negotiation or pushed the process forward. I got the feeling they just submitted my C.V. and then collected the cheque once I got hired.

Not much advice I know, and what works for me doesn't necessarily mean it will work for other people.
Obviously you can’t take my argument to the ends of the earth.

But OP didn’t even tell us what they’re selling so I’m just going on my gut here. I’d say be default that $5 should be doable.

Approaching physics from a pure information flow is definitely a current research topic. I suspect we see less popsci treatment of it because almost nobody understands information at all, then trying to apply it to physics that also almost nobody understands is probably at least three or four bridges too far for a popsci treatment, but it's a current and active topic.
There is no such thing as "contractual consent". Consent under GDPR cannot be "contractually" given as part of a blanket clause in a contract. It requires criterion like informed, easily retractable, uncoerced, etc.

GDPR also has the concept of a "contractual necessity". A legal basis where data must be processed for the performance of a contrast. So say, you buy a t-shirt from an American online store and they need to process your shipping address. That's contractual necessity.

They seem to be mixing the two into "contractual consent", as if you are able to consent in a contract. Under GDPR, you can't!

In no other contexts can there be a more legible interpretation.
I’ve heard stories from my navy days, such as when they accidentally synchronized to the grid 180 out of sync (the automatic sync failed, this one wasn’t manual) and the two diesel generators ripped themselves from the hull and threw themselves across the space and destroyed several other things on the way. That was on an older ship and they decided not to repair it, so it was decommissioned.

My TLDR; 20+ years of experience in operations and scalability. I'm great with managing large scale buildouts either on-prem or in the cloud. On the management side I'm best when managing 1-15 people, as an IC I am self directing and am fine with any size team. I've been doing consulting for a while but I'm looking to join up with a team that has 1-5 engineers ideally but I'd be fine with a larger org if I think the product is cool. I tinker with embedded stuff, HAM radio and cooking unusual foods from around the world.

Yeah, the Gnome Super key hit the sweat spot for me too. As you say, all the things you wanted the desktop to do are available from that one easy to reach button - swapping between windows, pick something from the launcher menu and text search the applications. KDE has so many configuration options it can emulate just about everything Gnome does - but it can't mimic that exactly.

Gnome (and systemd) seems to want to emulate macOS mostly, and as user of macOS I'm not sure why you would want to do that. But macOS has nothing that matches Super key exactly - so well done to Gnome for that innovation.

Reading this thread I've got kinda abstract question, so I might as well just ask it here:

Do you think the "market" of openly available models (LLMs, text-to-image, speach recognition, etc) would be significantly different today, if not for OpenAI?

Obviously, it's not like OpenAI is the only place on earth where people work on these, and it's the overall success of deep learning what started OpenAI, not vice-verse. But as for someone not really in the loop, it feels like every other state-of-the-art open source model available right now was inspired, if not developed (whisper), by OpenAI. Stable Diffusion, LLaMA, Mistral, etc. Would these exist if not for DALLE, GPT and OpenAI in general?
