That really varies by the organization. Smaller companies or those using less common platforms are more willing to hire based on transferable skills and then train.

Most airlines do the same. The majority of pilots flying 737s were hired without that specific type rating. Usually they're moving up from flying smaller jets at regional airlines.

I was curious.

I clicked the link and the landing page was quickly covered by a large popup of nation-states.

And then before I could make much sense of the popup, another popup came from the bottom and covered part of the first popup.

I was not that curious.

So I clicked my browser's back button.

Only because this is a Show HN, I am putting in more effort by writing this comment.

Show HN: Garden Planting Reminders via Email
As a gardener, I frequently forget when to put things in my garden. My pepper seeds are always started too late and I get too excited to plant on the first nice day even if it's not the ideal team for every plant.

So I built a little tool where you can enter your zip to find your frost dates (or if you're outside the US, you can manually add your frost dates).

Then you can pick from a list of various veggies, herbs, and fruits to track. When you track something, the site will send reminders via when it's time to plant, transplant, or sow them and in what season.

You can also find ideas for what else can be going into the ground or seed starters in your area now.

Hope it helps make gardening a little bit easier this season!
It works at least well enough to build a working FreeBSD kernel, as the article notes that was built and then booted as a test. I have to imagine if the thing can build that its doing pretty well. That isn't a trivial piece of software. Makes me suspect any teething issues will be sorted and that it's not fundamentally compromised.
this is accurate ^

Sony is big and gaining more traction by the day. RED is very popular, Personally I know an equal number of filmmakers with RED and Sony. Arri is the premium brand. Canon is almost exclusively used in documentary these days, they had their moment with the 5DMK2 years about but squandered it. Sad really.
> Within weeks of the theft starting, prosecutors say, Ding was offered the position of chief technology officer at an early-stage technology company in China that touted its use of AI technology and that offered him a monthly salary of about $14,800, plus an annual bonus and company stock. The indictment says Ding traveled to China and participated in investor meetings at the company and sought to raise capital for it.

> He also separately founded and served as chief executive of a China-based startup company that aspired to train “large AI models powered by supercomputing chips,” the indictment said.

These events happened after the person was hired.

This would suggest performing background checks with some frequency - presumably at least once a month - in order to catch the events promptly.
The problem is that we select for high fidelity parrots and virtue signaling monkeys in admissions, rather than providing a support structure for people who want to create or discover things.
Surely you have a good example of what I am incorrect about instead of merely saying I am wrong?

> It's also the type of compiler that defaults to -ffast-math to look good in benchmarks

Not sure if they're still doing that, but in the early days of Clear Linux they were using -ffast-math on everything they compiled, as a way to give their distro a big performance boost over competition, too.
No it’s a scapegoat to justify doing whatever and using a meme word so that sci-fi fans will accept that whatever. The fact you’re eating it up here is pure cringe, grow up. These people took a non-profit with an egalitarian mission and reversed course once they saw they could make fuck you money. The “AGI” excuse is one only the immature are buying. Dude.
I'm pretty sure thats fake.

Yeah. Bookmark indexing was my original goal. But yacy doesn't have a great interface for that. Doable with some work, but not something i wanted to sink too much time into.
Assembly can either be inline with the C code or in a separate file. It's just source. Of course, if you really want to have fun with breaking abstractions, check out linker script files. That's for when you absolutely need different bits of code and data in specific parts of the application. Fun!
So I've worked at a few places, none nearly as fancy as Google. Not a single one would have had files being uploaded to personal cloud storage from a work device go unnoticed. That was the red flag, at that point they should've been monitoring actively.

Google can’t secure itself. That’s been true for years. It’s an enterprise held together by monopoly power, lobbying and low interest rates.
I don't see how that would affect a screenshot—the difference is clearly visible in screenshots. Furthermore the differences between Mac, Linux, and Window font rendering are widely discussed on the internet. I think I just prefer the way that Apple chose to render fonts.

I’m a volunteer EMT and last weekend the four patients I dropped off all had to sign paper copies of documents for insurance purposes instead of the using the usual rolling PC.

I found it unusual because the hospital had gone paperless years ago but was too busy to ask about it.

Open source contributions/projects is an extremely weak signal in my experience, and sometimes can be an negative signal. Open source software is developed generally differently than closed source software, much more async, and much more slowly. It is rare for people that professionally develop software to want to go write more software after work, and so quite often open source projects indicate they had a lot of free time for some reason, or they read something that they should do an open source project to increase chances of being hired.

The places I've worked in the past 15 years generally take open source contributions as a very slight positive signal, but only one of many.
“UPDATE: Previously, Apple announced plans to remove the Home Screen web apps capability in the EU as part of our efforts to comply with the DMA. The need to remove the capability was informed by the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps to support alternative browser engines that would require building a new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS.

We have received requests to continue to offer support for Home Screen web apps in iOS, therefore we will continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU. This support means Home Screen web apps continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture, and align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS.

Developers and users who may have been impacted by the removal of Home Screen web apps in the beta release of iOS in the EU can expect the return of the existing functionality for Home Screen web apps with the availability of iOS 17.4 in early March.”
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but this is slightly creepy.

I never understood why people care to keep their private conversation history in the first place. IMO private messages (as opposed to public posts, blogs, etc) are supposed to be temporary ("ephemeral") - one does not record every face-to-face conversation or phone call after all.

You can tell the difference between RED and other camera makers just by checking the black levels (because RED has horrid IR filtering and so you get a bit of picture greying.)

It's really noticeable when you fire off a DPSS LASER at 532nm. You can see both the IR beam and the converted visible light beam, making the LASER appear a weird green-purple color.
This is a valid problem to point out, but white board does not solve this problem.

In fact it may be causing more noise than signal, resulting in candidates passing hiring committee + receiving offer, then spending many months in the team matching phase, bc no candidates don't meet skill + exp fit with teams that have openings. [1] That plus high short term attrition makes for a busted hiring process.

The author about a person claiming seriously that they drive better when they're drunk when coming back from a party :

> Then there is the third kind of person who, upon reading anything like the quote above, immediately insists that the complainant must secretly be the insufferable one, because actually smart people don't experience frustration for reasons unknown. The implication is that they're the smart ones because they live in a world where the ultimate marker of intelligence is not the ability to discern sound action from unsound, but instead a grotesque meta-intelligence which manifests as the inexplicable belief that no action is ever deserving of contempt, and any deviation from this belief is a humility problem. Their judgement usually comes with a vomitous attempt at a cutting remark which, coming from individuals best described as a sentient LinkedIn posts, invariably morphs into the flaccid "you aren't as smart as you think you are" or "you sound insufferable".

I personally love the D.F Wallace quote from "Is this water ?" and I generally don't get annoyed at people from underperforming at some task (minor driving/logical mistakes), I really try to take into account one's reality by having empathy.

But I don't think this contradictory with calling out stupidity when it could put you or other people in danger and I think the drink and drive situation imagined by the author is one.
You don't need to condemn people to call out stupidity but you should call it out as such.
In page 2, there is the theorem: Theorem ∀n in Nat.f n (fib p) (fib (p+1)) = fib (p+n), I think it should be for all p in Nat (fib p) + (fib (p+1)) = fib(p+2), otherwise there is something mysterious here.
Harder, better, faster, stronger forever?
Okay so teasing that out a bit, you're now offering a lower salary than similar competitors because you're paying a bunch of people to do an interview.

Are you applying for that job? Are you willingly taking a lower salary because they're paying the people you interviewed against hundreds or thousands of dollars?
This is a bad idea. Even if "additive", giving significant weight to OSS work has a systemic effect of filtering for candidates with the free time, prior expertise, and/or liberty to do OSS work. In turn, those filters penalize: candidates trying to break into the field from other fields; candidates without a lot of free time outside of their existing work; candidates with more than full-time commitments (e.g. a lot of candidates from diverse backgrounds who are combining pre-existing FT+ employment with school to try to break into programming); entry-level candidates who might be able to code a TODO app from a quickstart, but aren't experienced enough to make substantial contributions to larger OSS projects; people whose prior employers didn't allow contributions (as another commenter pointed out); people whose programming experience is niche such that OSS contribution opportunities are rare.

Like, whiteboard interviews and leetcode grinding are not good filters, no argument there. And OSS is good and we should encourage more contributions in general. But using OSS/hobby contributions as an interview filter is just as bad as leetcode, in that it inequitably narrows the field of candidates and further compounds the hiring diversity problems in the US tech industry.
No you missed the point in that the definition being vague, and an implication of magical tooling, was my point when I asked what that even means. By saying this they can now right off any criticism and people like you clearly eat it up.
> It's easy to say someone is acting stupidly; it's much harder to put yourself in their shoes and understand why they might be acting that way.

This statement presupposes that there is a reason.

Many people simply act completely irrationally, so the only "reason" for their actions that one can come up with is the overly reductive "well, their neurons fired in such a way that resulted in them doing <whatever>".

I suspect avoiding generalities would assist discourse, so here's a concrete example to analyze: consider a senior (maybe even staff level) software developer, trying to write a loop. He writes a bunch of code, runs it (via tests, or executing the software itself), and finds that it doesn't work. So now he he changes the "<" to "<=". Still doesn't work. Now he changes that to ">". Still doesn't work. Now he changes that to ">=". Still doesn't work. Now he thinks "prime numbers are sometimes important, hm...", so he rounds the end of the range to the nearest prime number. Still doesn't work. Now he increments by two, instead of one. Still doesn't work. On a whim, now he changes the numeric type from an integer to a float, though he (of course) couldn't explain why that would change anything (all other things being equal in this scenario, it wouldn't). It still doesn't work. Etc, etc, etc. This sort of pattern continues for the next couple hours until the code happens to work for the scenarios tested (though is still incorrect and will eventually fail in production).

What is the "reason" for this behavior? Or, more importantly, why would someone regularly engage in such behavior? Why, as opposed to reasoning about the code, instead spend hours being superstitious, cargo culting, guess-and-checking, etc? Why never once consider pre-/post-conditions, loop invariants, sketch out a small informal proof by induction, etc?

Yes, some instances of bad decision making are due to unfortunate circumstances (stress, mental health, etc). But there are times where people simply demonstrate that they are, putting it kindly, not competent. That doesn't make them any less deserving of love and care, but they are still (with no negative sentiment or judgement intended) incompetent.

Instances of people sharing the same name are far more common in china than elsewhere. For example there are more than 30 thousand people called "Wang Wei".

The fact is complicated by the fact that the writing systems are different and transliteration errors are commonplace.

Couldn't the extension do that itself? Why does it need to be a browser feature?

Edit: Quoted portion of comment I was responding to.
I don't know why you need an article to explain that. Sh@tton of people in IT were let go in the last 1.5-2 years, so every job posting gets a huge number of responses, including from people who are not a good match and in some cases will not even qualify but they apply anyway because they're desperate. So it became incredibly difficult to find qualified people among those hundreds and hundreds of applicants.

This seems like high level tin foil hat wearing.

Are there any publicly available sources that tie up DARPA, Red Hat and Xorg? I’m not even sure what to Google tbh.
It's been a while since I was reading through the specs so I could be wrong, but as far as I remember, you kinda had to "collect" the consent status server-side, which feels wrong (because sometimes there wasn't consent), and third-party vendors would get the full consent status even if it's irrelevant for them.
Ask HN: Do you document LLM-generated code as such?
My Python source files are now a mix of functions I wrote and functions written by LLMs. I do review and test the functions written by LLMs.

When code was written by an LLM, do you note that in the code? How specific is the citation -- do you note the date the code was generated". LLM capabilities can vary over time. Do you list the prompt? (I don't but typically ask the LLM to provide a docstring.)
> I don’t care about working weekends.

This seems like a take I don't hear often. I won't work on a weekend unless the service is on fire and I'm the only one who can save it (which means I've done a bad job).

I'm fine with Friday deployments as long as we have a good release pipeline with multiple stages of validation and slow rollout, but if I see that my team is having to regularly work weekends because we deploy Friday, I'll stop deploying and respect their time.

No arguments there! A huge majority of applications can afford to be written this way, even ones where performance is a concern (WhatApp, for example).

Again you haven’t a clue of the point here. They were created as a research lab and instead after taking a paper created at Google they went closed source and are simply scaling that instead of working to create new and improved models that can actually run on reasonable hardware.

Small transformers being able to beat the same models but scaled up is unrelated to anything being discussed and you just seem like a fanboy at this point

In fact, trade can make the temptation for war worse.

You go from two countries that have nothing to do with each other to one country that can say "we pay so much for X from them, let's go take it."

Perhaps in a perfectly balanced scenario that wouldn't be tempting, but those scenarios are quite rare.

No system the size of a state is perfect, and heck I don't think what is being proposed here is perfection. I do not want to wait for a very slow-moving-system to decide if, say, an ingredient is a threat to human health.

If you say we should fix this by a constitutional amendment to allow federal agencies to operate the way they are now? Sure! However in the meantime I'm not going to advocate for breaking the current system and extending suffering for people just to follow a documented written centuries ago.
Exactly, the difference boils down to:

(a) is the calculation itself the end goal--e.g. am I trying to draw a plot which shows the motions of the three bodies?

or

(b) am I trying to use the code which describes the motion of the 3 bodies as a modular part of a system to answer other questions, perhaps interactively.

If everything is a one-off, and you're working on a very small team, of course excessive abstractions make little sense. But that's not how engineering is done. Abstractions are really important, because they allow us to collaborate.
You can merge heads on alembic, nothing special. You just need tests for running migrations and its "just" like code conflict when merging.
The same is true pretty much everywhere else (cryptography, sport, electrical engineering, aeronautics, ..). There is no greater teacher than a head injury or an electrical fire, the question is whether OP's fear is warranted or whether it should be encouraged. Perhaps they should not set the bit rate on a video codec until completely understanding the fundamentals of that technology too? I'd suggest like in many similar areas, gatekeeping is a not insubstantial force
Because they're cherished memories for one.
It's just an algorithm.
I agree. But it's more to do with the part of me that cringes at messages I sent and exist forever. The person I was 10 years ago is so different. It feels so jarring reading old messages.
