The only way I can even imagine this to be possible is 1. Your name is John Carmack or Ken Thompson or 2. You send your application out at the top of every single hiring bubble in history. Sorry, but I almost just don’t believe OP. It seems totally ridiculous and opposite to my lived experience over decades.

Ive probably sent roughly 500 resumes out over a 25 year career and got 5 job offers. Never even two simultaneous offers allowing me to choose. The ratio has been very, very consistent for me.
there's enough competition in the EV sector for margins to remain fairly low. o saw a chart once. Tesla is the only one with big margins, i remember.
That's a fantastic suggestion, blagie! I really like how requiring open licenses increases the marketing reach of the tool.
For the same density, geometrically, you should see the same amount of sky it you are at the ground floor (or outside), and more if you are on the upper floors.

Here is a low rise area, H represent housing units, _ is the ground

H_H_H_H_H_H

Now for the same density with high rise buildings

H H H
H___H___H__

For someone on the ground, between buildings, the field of view occupied by the sky is the same, that's because buildings are twice taller and the distance between buildings is twice longer, which cancel out. Or equivalently, the average apparent size of buildings (how much of your field of view they take) is also the same. Obviously, people higher up have a better view of the sky.
Man, I was literally at their booth in GDC 25 minutes ago.

Truthfully the program they have looks fantastic at empowering UI/UX designers to do more with games.

I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but the normal flow is that a UI/UX designer will spend days in Figma; give the output to a programmer and the programmer will (often) say that it's impossible to implement for X,Y reason.

What follows is a back and forth between the programmer and the designer until eventually a design exists that can be implemented.

This is compounded by the fact that there's no good UI framework in Unreal engine, at least not for AAA games.

So, while I have not done a feasibility test yet, the workflow of this tool is definitely the best I've seen and seems to integrate seamlessly with Unreal Engine and blueprints.

I'm personally really excited, because with this it's possible for a UI/UX designer to work without the aid of a programmer.

(also, game programmers tend to hate doing UI).
In a similar boat and I feel your pain. FINALLY expecting an offer on Friday (from a Who’s Hiring HN thread.) Hang in there…

My perception of hustling isn’t about long hours, unless those are hours hanging out after work building relationships. It’s more about making your self visible for the work you do, being memorable in a positive way, maybe helping people who in a way that leaves an impression. Working late to deliver one day early, no one is going to notice.
How can we help save Stability AI?
It's been said over and over for the past number of months, but fewer companies have a lot of use for a person whose sole talent is "sling code" and you just need to start bringing more to the table, or be a top 1% leetcode nerd.

I'm seeing some self-taught quant/econ guys getting real software jobs without a ton of formal CS coursework, but a lot of practical experience. Turns out the employers love that shit.... go figure?? ;)
You are going beyond the constraints, “if our communication with a 7-year-old child were limited to the level we achieve with crows.”

We know we are able to teach children language because we have shared modes of communication through which we can observe their learning; speaking, writing, hand gestures.

> You do not need to share a language to teach a language

True, but I would argue that you need to share a mutually intelligible mode of communication.

How would you teach (and know that they have understood it correctly) the concept of monetary denominations to a 7-year old child if you were limited to communicating on the level you can with a crow? I have no idea, and would probably give up. But this does not necessarily tell us anything about the intelligence or capacity for learning language in the child, it tells us only of the gap in communication that we cannot bridge.

> so animals at least doesn’t have the same level of language intelligence as humans do.

This does not necessarily follow. What follows is that humans are not able to teach animals human language on the same level as they are able to teach humans.
I would agree with this for state work as well. Alabama, because Montgomery is super cheap, is a very good option. I will warn you though...the red tape can take a while. Fill out the paperwork or call the local contract recruiters. We find most of our people that way. They come in on contract, which I did, and convert to government. Depends on the department but once you are in it is fairly easy to move around. DOT is Java, Banking is a mixture of Microsoft and open source, Medicaid is a mix etc. If there is nothing immediately it may take 6-9 months before you get a call but if you are reading this you will be in the top candidates. Sometimes I think we are as "out of the way" as Alaska as far as people considering working here but we would love to have you. I love the state and I didn't start here until I was in my late 40's. Shooting for retirement at 70-75+...I really just love doing this for a living. I moved to government after my 4th 5 year startup/SMB experience. Just needed the stability, someplace I could code and feel good about what I was doing again, and good health insurance. It's the nicest group of people I have ever worked with.
This does look really neat, but IMHO ASCII art is one of the keys to being traditional.

Nothing at all against Shattered Pixel Dungeon, just that a quick look through the site didn’t reveal a terminal version.
I finished my bachelors degree after I turned 40. I was a much better student than I’d been in my 20s or teens.

My wife is friendly pursuing her bachelor’s and it is clear to both of us that universities are really just tolerant of non-traditional students. You won’t be treated poorly, but all of the infrastructure, tools, class progression, etc, is constructed around post-Highschool young adults.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a community college, but I suspect they’re slightly better.
Sure, the history of NNs goes back a while, but nobody was attempting to build AI out of perceptrons (single layer), which were famously criticized as not being able to even implement an XOR function.

The modern era of NNs started with being able to train multilayer neural nets using backprop, but the ability to train NNs large enough to actually be useful for complex things AI research, can arguably be dated to the 2012 Imagenet competition when Geoff Hinton's team repurposed GPUs to train AlexNet.

But, AlexNet was just a CNN, a classifier, which IMO is better just considered as ML, not AI, so if we're looking for the first AI in this post-GOFAI world of NN-based experimentation, then it seems we have to give the nod to transformer-based LLMs.
Would it be in theory possible to setup sensor's along rural area fences using solar to forward data from possible RFID tags or something?
Trying to think of a way to utilize ear tags for cattle getting loose. I'm sure setting up repeaters and could forward stuff over long range p2p wifi AP's.

Just thinking if anyone knows how to potentially pick up nfc or super basic equivalent that could be placed in the ear tag. Most solutions now have some sort of battery replacement which would have to replace ear tags. or have some bulky gps collar.

Waiting for some flexible solar panel printable? that could be placed on the ear tag and some antenna picking up the super low frequency emitted.
Will do, and good luck with getting some traction! I am bullish on automation like this, and loved the demo.
A company I used to work had an Algol system running until 2005.
A rewrite had begun in the 1990s and went live in 2001 and the two systems were run side by side until to make sure the new system was correct.
Maybe. But they have a couple of extreme oil fields.

A relative in the oil industry once told me that any extra oil you can get out of an existing rig is cheaper than setting up a new rig somewhere new, no matter how much you have to invest to get at the extra oil.
I’ve never understood layout as being secondary. The artwork matters a great deal ensuring the design works and works well.
Honestly looks great. Liked the short videos, the one that shows the orb in After Effects with the cut of what goes into deck screen was also very interesting.

Ages ago I saw a work that was (I think) a piece of art that reused many phones for their screens to show things in sync. I don't remember if they were early Android phones or if it was done before with screens of feature phones. But the work here reminded me of that.
I hate how we are doubling down on car centric transportation. Whether it’s an ICE or EV. At the end of the day, it’s another car on the road.

We take one step further with reducing or zeroing out tail pipe emissions. But take 3 steps backwards because department of ~~~highway~~~ transportation engineers feel the need to expand the expensive highways to accommodate increased demand. Ignoring all historical evidence that widening interstate highways or state regional roads is not an efficient way to resolve the issue.

Let’s not forget the increased amount of tire wear particles released into the environment, brake dust, and eventually the e-waste when lithium based battery packs need to be changed out.

Also where are these vehicles going to be stored? More parking garages. Less walkable infrastructure. More subsidies for the suburban rat at the expense of cities. More heavier cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road means existing infrastructure breaks down must faster. Thus the need to replace more often or maintain more often. All of this at the expense of local cities and state budgets. Also most cities tend to ask voters to approve municipal bonds for such improvements. These are private financial instruments or loans that need to be paid back to private investors. Each new muni bond is one more step towards filing for bankruptcy (hello Detroit!)

Instead of spending money on the people. We are spending it on stupid car centric infrastructure. Forget mental health, social support, universal basic income, housing for everyone, easily accessible public transportation, improved paramedic, fire and police response times.

Goldman Sachs report from November 1, 2023 that this is based off of: https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/electric-veh...

Here's a February 29, 2024 article from Goldman Sachs on the same topic: https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/even-as-ev-s...
> You will start to sink at various rates. Not because water is “pushing less” than earth. It’s because water is not resisting.

Um, "is not resisting" means "pushing less". The water does not exert as much force on you as solid ground would. That's why you sink. If the water was not pushing less, you wouldn't sink.

> if I am 200 pounds and the earth is pushing up on me with 200 pounds of force, what is generating that force?

Nothing has to "generate" the force. The force is a static force that is doing no work, so no energy is being consumed. It's just static electromagnetic repulsion between your atoms and the atoms in the ground.

> where does it go if a helicopter reels me in?

If you stop making contact with the ground, there is no longer any electromagnetic repulsion between your atoms and the atoms in the ground.

> The 200 pounds up “force” just vanishes?

The "up" force from the ground vanishes, yes. See above.

But of course there is another "up" force on you now from whatever is attaching you to the helicopter.
“Shitty job market” is an awfully charitable way to say “illegal, anti-market activity is de-facto sanctioned now”.

We spent the lion’s share of the 20th century building a vast “sovereign wealth fund” of technology via effective partnerships between the public and private sectors (substantially though not exclusively under “defense” budgets of one kind or another): everything from the transistor to the laser to the packet-switched Internet to Unix, the list goes on and on.

Then, somewhat abruptly in the scheme of things, a few things happened around the same time: “Dutch” Reagan was sharp enough to realize that he was a fucking movie star not a policy person, and needed some academic and intellectual heft to round out a serious presidential bid. The exact causal structure remains unclear to this day, it seems mostly to be related to cashing in on a Cold War that was winding down but good for one last corruption orgy, but somehow he and Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand and Alan Greenspan all got together and sold the public on a bunch of policies that were and remain disasters (Greenspan has since grudgingly admitted that he was wrong about pretty much everything in the kind of tortured language people like that use when they’re wrong about everything), Lewis Ranieri realized that in his words “Mortgages are math” and began a disastrous trend of extreme complexity financialization that created modern K Street (basically figured out how to buy up the commons for pennies on the dollar by gutting any remaining taboos against flagrant bribery of elected officials) and smoothly pivoted all of this into the Clinton Administration while codifying “Goldman Sachs is where we source finance people” in the form of Robert Rubin and his heirs, and the piece de resistance: brought Larry Summers into the mix, whose biography reads like the prelude to impeachment proceedings: everything the guy has ever touched has been illegal, icky, stupid, racist, misogynistic, kleptocratic, corrupt, or all of the above.

The last person to put up a serious fight was Brooksley Born, who was in the middle of preventing both the 2001 and 2008 financial meltdowns (and therefore almost certainly preventing the rise of reactionary populism in the Western World) when the cabal of incompetent Randian fuckups knee-capped her (using gender discrimination as a lever) and basically started running the “build a technology-denominated sovereign wealth fund” process in reverse: it’s been game on regarding raiding that cookie jar if you have the right “network” ever since.

The Department of Justice was taking time out of its typical day chasing around terrorists and human traffickers and what not to try to police stuff like trivial collusion and flagrant wage fixing in technology as recently as like 2011-2012, but seems to have kind of given up: it’s a losing battle. The last major legal action around big cap tech wage fixing wound down with a 400MM parking ticket in ~2011.

Three guesses where Summers is putting his greasy thumbs (the rest of that clique is dead or retired) on the scale now and who is the heir apparent to this nightmare.
Phone or the apps on said phone?

Phrasing it as phone I think conflates different effects. eg I get anxious without mine because I rely on it for say navigation and calling for help. Yet I get less anxious with out it because I don’t get depressed by people’s perfect lives on insta.

This poll seems to be a blend of those resulting in largely meaningless stats
I think that’s a bit harsh – but only so much, as I’ve had to explain basic stats literacy to several consultants – but there’s a common factor to many “AI” initiatives: some executives really want to be able to tell their buddies that they’re doing amazing things, and often believe there are huge untapped opportunities to make or save money which all of the employees they don’t trust haven’t mentioned.

In reality, of course, there probably just isn’t that much money at play so the high-budget approach is unlikely to break even, and more critically it’s unlikely that people are prepared to change how the organization makes decisions. I’ve known some people who worked for places where they had data showing solid improvements but it either hit politics or was simply small enough that their executives didn’t want to go with it because it wasn’t the magnitude they’d promised to justify the data science program.
If you have a job and they are hiring. Two former colleagues come in.

Bob: he comes in, he does his work, he goes home. He's a good productive developer.

Jane: She comes in, does her work, it's always documented and well tested. She is happy to roll up her sleeves and help the people around her out. She will pause to help you even if it means she gonna finish up at home.

Your boss asks you: Your call who do we hire. You're not fucking picking Bob.

Dont be Bob.

Because that question is more of an economics research paper or policy brief than a mass media article. And in that arena data are currency, ie largely not public.

Generally, there’s a lot of economics principles at play. Economies of scale mean as more is produced, often, still further increases in production are possible more cheaply than previously obtained. First semi chip produced might cost billions. The billionth chip might be pennies. There’s also a concept in the environmental economics that pulling finite resources out of the ground responds to increasing demand similar to pulling more money out of a bank via loans. Ie the most easy to obtain resources are mined first and the cost increases from there. In practice, too, producer relationships matter. A company buying batteries for EVs (ie at that scale) for their 5th year in a row is going to have demonstrated to their suppliers that, indeed, they can write a check for all the materials they’ve ordered much more than in year 0. So their suppliers have better information about how reliable their needs are, and so on.

Lots of complicated things not generally in the public knowledge nor easy to explain quick enough to not get scooped by another organization.

That would be a definitional matter. About 15% of Paris’s population are non-nationals. This isn’t unusual for a European capital; Dublin is 17% and Berlin is 22%, say. This would have been lower two centuries ago, though what it meant to be a national was arguably a bit different. However, what’s a ‘Frenchman’? Two centuries ago, most of France did not speak French fluently (and perhaps did not speak it at all). Even in World War I, 20% of the Metropolitan French army didn’t speak French functionally. Fluent French would certainly have been more common in Paris than elsewhere, but really you’re looking at a very weak national identity versus today.

My company is hiring a senior Python dev and we've rejected at least 95% of applications so far. Many weren't even Python devs, most weren't senior (no, getting that title 2 years out of college doesn't count) and some had resumes so off-putting we just said "this person is full of shit." We actually discussed adding a survey question that read "Answer 'no' to this question" to see if they even read the page. So many freaking shotgun applicants.

I wonder how many of those people are saying "I've applied to X jobs and nothing!" Had they gotten feedback or maybe read the job listing they wouldn't have added our posting to their volume count.

We used to use a tool called flump to rasterize flash animations for iOS games (I ended up writing our runtime and renderer in Unity and later SpriteKit to consume that data).

It's not ridiculous at all. Who are you?

You are backing away from your other positions, for example:

> I fail to understand the reasoning of it "being simple" or "microbenchmarkey". It's far from the truth I think.

Do you now agree that TPC-B is too simple and microbenchmarky? And if not, please tell me (as I'm working on the problem of industry benchmarking in general) what would it take to convince someone like you to stop elevating obsoleted benchmarks like TPC-B? Is there anything?
