I started my career as a founder in the dot com boom, hiring engineers and doing everything in the stack. Founded more companies then eventually decided to leave the founder game and went to get a role as an employee about 5 years ago.

Recruiters had no idea what to do with me. I've been working as a senior IC with increasing responsibilities, but my founder experience seems to be a negative. Half the time during intro calls they didn't even read that far down my resume.

Only early stage startups seem to value the experience at all, and even then it tends to be outweighed by my age. It's frustrating, but I think I will try the advice from that other post about chopping off everything but my last 5 years of experience. People want simple narratives.
Maybe try to seek out that experience then? I think its a little dangerous to go through life not understanding that there are levels of intrinsic intelligence. It should be fairly obvious. And it applies to everyone, you can read quotes of old physics nobel laureates that speak about Von Neumann as if he was not a human.

The take away should be that, yes some people are intrinsically smarter, but that is a crappy system to base self worth off of, because then only one person in the world gets to be happy.

I added the `set pipefile...` suggested below, but I think mogrify only fails if the screenshot fails. Tesseract never fails if there is a valid input image, so realistically you only need one error message for the screenshot generation, unless you want to check whether the user misses any of the tools.
But where do you find a good agent? My experiences have been of sellers agents dramatically undervaluing my property hoping for a quick sale and buyers agents with none of the qualities you mention, just a desire to push me to buy at any price asap regardless of whether the property they are showing me is a decent fit or not. I have yet to experience any value added from an agent on either side of the transaction.
Some McDonalds burgers are made using dehydrated onions on the griddle along with the meat patty.

I don't recall if that's the case for the QP because I never order that.
I just want something useful. I'm not talking perfection, I'm talking about answers which are not fit for purpose. 80% of the time the answers are just not useful.

How are you supposed to use LLMs if the answers they give are not salvageable with less work than answering the question yourself using search?

Again, for some people it might be fine, for technical work, LLMs don't seem to cut it.
The MLS system they run certainly is a cartel. There's all kinds of rules that you have to play by that prevents competition if you want to be able to read MLS data.
“This is a one-time notification giving people the choice to set Bing as their default search engine on Chrome,” says Caitlin Roulston, director of communications

People already had the choice, this isn't giving them anything they didn't already have.

While I'm sure there is a large contingent of people who don't know how to change the default search engine, the assumption, and spin/excuse to do this, that people are not switching because they don't know how is getting quite long in the tooth.

The "user's eyes visible to others" part has been widely panned, even by the most enthusiastic reviews. There are two major problems with it.

One, it's not the actual user's eyes, it's just a bad rendition of some eyes - without any of the extremely subtle facial expressions that happen with the skin around the eyes, and without any amount of certainty from the other that they are correctly reflecting exactly what you're looking at. We are extremely good at noticing exactly which direction another human is looking in, and when theire gaze shifts, so even minor inaccuracies or lag are jarring.

Much worse, the screen they used is so bad that the eyes are barely visible in almost any amount of lighting.

Either way, even if this "solution" actually worked, the visor still covers far too much of the face to be able to get a normal expression.
This is why you have a CTO: someone is in charge of making all those design decisions.
True, but all the buzz on the humanoid robots from recently is putting the robots in the same environments human use without having to change it at all, not because it's impossible but it's a lot of effort and every minimal possible interaction needs to be mapped.

There are autonomous forklifts, but a humanoid robot that could sit in a normal forklift, regulations aside, would be almost an insta buy in logistics.
The 6% commission on buying or selling a home is gone
At a news stand you open you wallet wave it at them without evan taking the card out of the sleave and they hand you your purchase you hand them a $20. no ID is kept on file, no purchase/veiw history is kept, no record of the payment is made there at no middlemen and no chance of it being stolen by hacker and used for ID theft or blackmail. And most importantly no checking with a government database. Comparing in person purchase to online is unreasonable.
They could be itemized. The itemizations would be charged at much higher rates - the same way rich people pay 10x more for a lawyer than average people.

If you're selling a $20M home, and you think a good seller's agent is going to get you $20M instead of $15M - most people don't really have a problem paying 3% for the services - otherwise we would've never gotten into this common deal structure.

It's only people on HN who think realtors sit around doing nothing and make $100k selling an expensive home - and then generalize that to all realtors.

SOME realtors are definitely doing that. So are some people in every industry.
It does sound crazy and I won't entertain how realistic it is. But I will say and I think this is fairly common, I now look back on my 18 credit hour undergrad semesters, which was considered a moderately heavy load, and I would presently describe it as: I had an abundance of free time. This was pre-med too so not easy courses or anything. College was as much about goofing off with friends and hobbies as it was about coursework.

With my present work ethic I think I could have pretty easily doubled the load, and completed a bit over one year of course work per semester without sacrificing my personal life. Again 4 years in 3 semesters sounds crazy. But 4 years in 4 semesters seems totally plausible, so idk.
Apple aggressively focus on low-volume high-margin opportunities, have been doing so for some decades, and have a giant war chest to make bets with. In many ways, they work like the very very large version of a successfully bootstrapped business.

Most of their peers pursue maximum volume in an attempt to dominate a market and drown all competition, inebitably at much lower margins. It's the continuation of the VC launch-or-bust rocketship model most of them were born from.

The difference then means that Apple can try making something really unique and compelling and call it a profitable success based on much much smaller sales volume. And if it does happen to launch like a rocketship (as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad each did) all the better.

But their peers set a much higher mark for sales volume when thinking about what's a success or failure. If a product is only lightly taken up, even if nominally profitable at their margins, it's more like a distraction or clue rather than a success in itself. So they scavenge the project and move on to an alternative market or a parallel product idea.

This all sets Apple up to make slow, well-considered bets on quality and design coherency instead of strictly trying to race to market and outmaneuver everyone for volume.
Ok but compare it with a phone call. That's much worse than sunglasses.

Whereas VR equivalent of a phone call with eye and face tracking and eventually full body tracking is much closer to an in-person interaction.
yes. it's a rather common three letter acronym used as an all encompassing way to refer to government agencies commonly known by their own three letter acronyms: FBI, CIA, NSA, DoD, DoJ, ATF, CDC etc
You are clearly misrepresentating the value here. They also put a watermark on each image. /s
That’s the real issue. We’re capitalizing professional services at insane scale for little value.

Compensation isn’t in line with value, and the cartel nature of the business puts a lot of friction on the pricing.

This isn’t unique to real estate. A lot of sales guys are driving Porsches based on earnings of questionable value. The difference is your Oracle salesman doesn’t have a monopoly backed by state law on blowing hot air.
My point precisely. Those are all vague terms. Saying that "neural nerworks do not think" is as meaningless as any equivalent (or opposite) statement on any other system including any number of neurons, a whole brain or a person.

It's all semantics.
Yeah I have the same concern. Are there any better options, short of hiring a human secretary, which I don't have the money for?

My first priority is not having my personal info listed on the internet; ethics of where my money is going is second.

> This is why linux perpetually has <5% adoption. It's made and maintained by linux enthusiasts who are incapable of understanding how the average person wants to use a computer.

No. That's a gross generalization. You have all sorts of people using Linux, including leading UX experts.

What you don't have is a single governing body pulling everyone in the same direction, so efforts get diluted(even when prioritized).
Are there really more transactions in other countries where the commission is much smaller?

I'm not sure that is really one of the main reasons why a seller decides to sell a home or not.
That channel is owned by a American Mcdonalds franchiser (maybe they unofficially are promoting him? idk). Any way it shows a great deal of insight into how an American Mcdonalds operates.
This is a good call, IMO.

I used to live out in the countryside and had a 3.5mb down / 768kb up DSL connection that was advertised as "max speed" since it didn't meet even the previous definition of broadband (25 up / 3 down).

Now I'm in town on symmetric gigabit and rarely think about bandwidth. But I think I could live with 100 down and 20 up if I had to.
It's worse than that, how do you know it's a good agent without completing the transaction? It seems you pretty much need trusted word of mouth referral.
Or get a Apple TAG no?

In my career the only people I saw arguing for auto style formatters are people that were simply unable to systematically follow simple rules, and that you're better off without.
Yup, that's the point this article makes:

I’m so sorry for psychology’s loss, whatever it is - https://www.experimental-history.com/p/im-so-sorry-for-psych...

This whole debacle matters a lot socially: careers ruined, reputations in tatters, lawsuits flying. But strangely, it doesn't seem to matter much scientifically. That is, our understanding of psychology remains unchanged ...

That might sound like a dunk on Gino and Ariely, or like a claim about how experimental psychology is wonderfully robust. It is, unfortunately, neither. It is actually a terrifying fact that you can reveal whole swaths of a scientific field to be fraudulent and it doesn't make a difference.

Also interestingly the author apparently studied under Dan Gilbert at Harvard, so he's an "insider". I remember >10 years ago seeing the "happiness science" from Gilbert go around:

https://blog.ted.com/ten-years-later-dan-gilbert-on-life-aft...

Although I actually think the core insight is a good one, and a memorable one -- people are unable to predict what makes them happy. They think they will be happy if they buy a new car to show off, but if you ask them afterward, that didn't really happen.

There was another one of these "TED memes" that turned out to be widely mocked / unreplicable:

When the Revolution Came for Amy Cuddy

As a young social psychologist, she played by the rules and won big: an influential study, a viral TED talk, a prestigious job at Harvard. Then, suddenly, the rules changed.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, like inconsistent and inadequate consultation is still a problem, but we've at least gotten to the point where companies are recognizing that they should be and need to be doing consultation with FNs, which is a big step forward, and I expect this trend to continue.

The good resource companies are already doing consultation and getting local FNs on board before even talking with the Province. I've heard of examples of this recently.

The change that needs to happen and I expect will happen in the future is that the Province will make legislative changes to bring these expectations of consultation into requirements and to create more certainty from that.
Yes of course. Ask Disney.

There's also automated DMCA carpet bombing. Tossup which is which in this case.
Right. Pedestrians have nothing, bikers have helmets and gloves, and cars have two ton steel frames. They're entirely different threat classes.

A better comparison than squirrels might be dogs. A large dog has about the speed, mass, and predictability of a bicycle, and I bet they're regulated similarly as well. You're expected to remain in control of your dog/bike and it takes an egregious infraction to face legal repercussions.
Ah so it's a freedom for me and not for the kinda thing.

Is there a state that does uphold the values of freedom the most?
Flameshot: Free and open source screenshot software
They refute your point altogether - any sufficiently dedicated chop-shop can install box one parts on a box two phone with enough effort. This happens all the time in China and there's no reason to doubt it happens in America too. At best, Apple is slightly blocking the floodgate for one-off urban muggings. At worst, they're using a non-existent threat vector as an excuse to expand their already-exploitative repair parts scheme. Anyone who's had to repair a Macbook without warranty knows that Apple will refuse to sell you replacement parts for what they're worth.

> It is what automotive chop shops do

If you think this is about iPhone chop-shops, you have lost the script. Apple designed this scheme from the bottom-up, if they wanted you to have control over your phone they would have left an escape-hatch. When someone locks your door and doesn't give you the key, it's always worth asking: Cui bono?
Meta wouldn't even officially sell this let alone have repair shops in India, unlike Apple's strategy of eventually rolling out worldwide
My local search and rescue team made door mats for their station with old 1/2" ropes. They came out really nicely.

Doing so with serial or coax cables seems like an invitation for bits of the plastic sheath breaking off in a few months and polluting the ground around your door though...

Does that help against an attacker determined enough to hack you that he'll pay $1000 for a SIM swap? Surely he has channels to figure out your "secret" phone number since you registered it with the service he's trying to hack into.

But that wouldn't solve the original issue. The defendants are the ones who pose a threat to the whistleblower.
I would love to see this benchmarked against just running LZW compression on a list of the moves. I think the repeated nature of the moves means the entropy is actually rather low. It should be possible to come up with a compression dictionary which can save a lot more space than just a tight packing like this.

Which org in MS is it that is so consistently failing its users in this way? Is it just Windows, or is it a separate org that's polluting Windows?

I've not used Windows full time since Vista, but each time I dip in it's shocking to see how much bloatware there is in a default Windows install (not from an OEM) – adverts, pop-ups, casino games, celebrity news. Windows itself feels better, it doesn't take much digging to find a screen that hasn't changed since XP, but it's mostly nice on top.

Is the crap from Windows itself? From a marketing team running amok? Is it all driven by Bing or Edge? Bing has always felt similar, like the MSN leadership were told to be more googley, but old habits have stuck around.
Apple reaches $490M settlement over Tim Cook's China sales comments
Uh… what?

I already said “One can value form over function”. Each person has different needs and wants out of their furniture. Just because you don’t value form doesn’t mean it’s some unbelievable or “indefensible” concept.

I don’t want my house to look like it came out of the 1920s. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

If you think otherwise, then more power to you, but don’t hoist your beliefs and preconceptions on others.
Wouldn't lower fees encourage more frequent speculative trading of properties?

Most homeowners are not jumping houses every year or so.
But:

- sale by owner without a realtor is a thing (at least many places?)

- all you need to do to be "them" is take a test and get a license, right? I.e. if as a buyer willing to pay 6-7 figures for a home, the cost of getting that license is negligible. If you wanted to recoup the buyer agent commission, you could represent yourself and do so.

Like, you also need a license (or multiple) to operate a restaurant, and it's really hard to do a prepared-meal-for-money transaction without one side of the transaction being such a license holder ... but we wouldn't in general say that restaurants are a "cartel" in virtue of this fact, because there's healthy competition.
I know so many people that so love them, and I do find the content useful sometimes... but I wish they could be modified a bit to have the deep dive after the really concise reference sheet style doc.

But almost any time I've seen them discussed, even intimating that they're not ideal in their current state is an open invitation to summoning the online equivalent to a pitchfork-wielding crowd implying you're incompetent, lazy, and stupid for having a different usage style. I'm sure there are a lot of people involved who want nothing more than for them to be as useful as possible to everyone who needs them, but those toxic dynamics emerge so quickly in critique. It would obviously be a huge mistake to simply remove that info, but I think the format could be enhanced to work well with other usage styles.
I am incredibly skeptical of the hypothesis that this might be a murder. Asking a few key questions makes it clear how dubious it is:

Most importantly, who's gun was it? If it was someone else's gun, sure, it's a murder, but I think we'll find that the gun was Barnett's. And if so, we have to ask, how did the murderer manage to kill Barnett with his own gun?

How did the killer get into the truck? We can assume the killer had to be in the truck, since the alternative (killing Barnett elsewhere and dragging the body through a Holiday Inn parking lot into the driver's seat) is absurd. Did they get lucky and try the door, finding it to be open? If so, wouldn't there be signs of a struggle when a stranger enters your vehicle? Or did they get in because they know Barnett, and he let them in (in which case, they won't have an alibi)?

Why commit a murder in a public location? I won't be surprised if the Holiday Inn parking lot was being surveilled.

The fact that the gun was found in his hand, and the timing of the murder, do seem like pretty big coincidences. But I think it's easier to chalk these up to coincidences than it is to answer the above questions. Additionally, per his Wikipedia page, he suffered from PTSD and anxiety attacks. These don't guarantee that he's suicidal, but it's not the picture of perfect mental health either.

I'm very interested if anyone thinks they have a good explanation of how this could have taken place as a murder.
The article explains that you can’t see the pixels because the AVP is purposely blurring them. The effective resolution of a mirrored Mac screen is below that of a physical 4K screen.
That's 40mbps at peak, if you're streaming say HuluTV to 2-3 devices and also running your work environment, you're straining that data. It's also just legally speaking -not- high speed internet.
Interesting, thanks! I didn't know that.
I don't understand the downvotes - you are correct.
Can't talk for Linux, I am now using Eclipse on Mac.

I used Eclipse on Linux about 8 years ago, and I remember running into frequent issues at that time: the problem was that I was using Ubuntu 16.04, but the SWT widget toolkit maintainers for Linux were Red Hat employees and they were focused mostly on Fedora. For several months SWT was very unstable because the native nature of SWT made it difficult to support it on the different Linux distributions, especially during the transition from GTK2 to GTK3, and considering that Ubuntu was tweaking GTK a lot to achieve its own unique visual style. You can get an idea of the problems the Linux maintainers were having here [1]

At the same time, the release notes of Eclipse clearly stated that that particular version of Ubuntu was not supported. So maybe you are running into the same issue, maybe you are using a Linux distribution that is not amongst the list of officially supported (=tested) Linux distributions.

With respect to market place and plug-ins my experience is different from yours, but having worked on Eclipse plug-ins for years I am certainly a more expert user. As I already said, to me the worst aspect of Eclipse is the p2 package format. It probably solves many problems (e.g. it tries to guarantee that you don't end up with a broken Eclipse instance due to lack of dependencies), but I often think that they could have achieved the same by using plain-old Maven dependencies and BOMs.

The small problem with this trend is that in order to grow, a senior developer needs to learn by experimenting with code, a lot of code ...

At this rate, in a few decades there will be no more senior developers. You can't go from programming 101 to senior developer.
