One thing that makes OpenAI so valuable over time is how they can take all of this expert input from the rush to test out the new technology and use that to exponentially improve the next model. You have to think, just like we see here, experts in their field who know all of these edge cases or other fundamental aspects of what makes their own companies or projects valuable and they tend to hand that over in the process.

It's kind if interesting how far this could be taken with all kinds of valuable information from people and companies, especially code and business logic. Everyone wants to say AI this and AI that to keep up with the times and they all keep dumping all of this valuable data in for free.

Then consider the authentication method used tied to this data collection and if you are using a company emial, etc, it helps them weed out the garbage too.

I guess we can't fight progress...
Not to pick on op personally, but this is sort of a perfect example of the stereotypical techy type just not getting it.

Yes, in the legal framework, everyone would probably be well within their rights to keep using it.

But this stuff is made of people. No one is harmed, mostly everyone sort of feels better in this collective recognition of "this isn't the sort of thing we're into, in this kind of way, let's do it differently."

Now if we could just rename a certain vaguely ableist photo manipulation program...
That's still thinking of it the wrong way.

Peer pressure among adults is far more widespread and powerful than the limited peer pressure among teenagers.
Another thankful note from me for The New Turing Omnibus. It’s recommended to students entering Cambridge University in the UK, and I read it as a young teenager. I was already familiar with a lot of the concepts contained, but it was a really good stitching together of a variety of disciplines. It gives just enough of a peek into each of them to spur curiosity about the things you might want to study more — and at least makes you aware of the things that you might be less interested in.

Seriously?

"Why is it a problem that companies here are wasting candidates time and efforts in having them go through a whole recruitment process with zero intention of hiring any of the candidates?"

> suggest a solution

Moderators have no issue censuring and decoupling people's comments on threads that question company hiring processes - maybe they can show a similar effort in censuring companies that appear to be insincere in their effort and posts.

The creed recited in both a Catholic and various non-Catholic churches as the "Nicene creed" isn't actually the one agreed at the First Council, there's a Wikipedia page explaining the substantial differences.

The creed does explicitly say it's about believing in "one holy catholic and apostolic church" but by that it doesn't mean the Roman Catholic church specifically. It's talking about a hypothetical church (in the sense of a group of Christians, not a building) which is united.

Christian Churches which don't claim there's a hypothetical united Christian church in which it just happens they got all the details right and everybody else didn't are outliers. Ecumenical discussions (typically between Roman Catholics and other large Christian sects) tend to carefully avoid trying to figure out who is right, instead trying to find matters on which they can agree. So e.g. exactly what's going on with Transubstantiation? Point of disagreement, best to not mention it. Do people sin? Yes. Is this old church building nice? Yes. Should we get a tax break? Yes. Easy stuff. The Nicene Creed is thus in this easy category.

Next time, try to not let your brain shut off when you read something you do not like. I never said it's comparable. I said it's enough FOR ME, I do not need anything like that. Likewise, I do not even know what the windows' viewer can do, I think it can rotate and save in a different format. I do not even need to rotate. I just need to view images, and if I really need to edit images I would fire up GIMP or try out Krita, but I do not. We just fail to see the need, I either just VIEW images or I want to edit images both ends have excellent tools, I do not need some middle ground tool.

I've been using patterns like this for more than a decade. The thing that's hard is, down the road you could have a listener, which triggers a other event, then another event, which comes back to the first routine and now you got a listen-loop that won't quit.

And it's hard to ensure that all listener don't cause that trigger cascade.
I'm a regular GeoGuessr player and I use the meta stuff mainly for getting quickly out of boring locations without losing too much points.

This is simply not true - the thing that's unwanted is flamewars. The goal (aspirational as it may be) is curious conversation. If you are unable, for whatever reason, to engage in a topic with curiosity, that's totally fine but it's on you not to bring deliberate arson to the conversation other people might have.

None of this invalidates your views or experiences but the notion they give you some sort of righteous justification to poop in the thread is preposterous. You don't even have the excuse of ignorance - you've been here well over a decade.

> I think you might have a federalism problem

I don't recall seeing the word federalism in the Constitution. Yeah, there's the Tenth Amendment. But one could make a compelling textualist argument — and perhaps even a historical one — that the Civil War Amendments were explicitly and broadly intended to trump (pardon the expression) the Tenth, and not just concerning the liberation of formerly-enslaved blacks.

Then again, some of the SCOTUS conservatives seem to move the goalposts whenever it seems good to them. And in any case, Breyer-style "traditionalism" doesn't seem to be part of their toolkit.

No, they don't. In fact, if you search "event" in the proposal you get exactly one result, the prefix of "eventually". This is a serious shortcoming of the proposal that should be addressed.
> who revealed half an hour into the interview that there was “no cash compensation for the role”

This is actually a question on itself - HN afterall is a place for startups and "true" startups in the extremely early stages have little to no cash - what if they wanted a tech cofounder and gave you equal equity?

Or was it the case that you did need cash and wasn't in a situation to work off pure equity for a while?
I am not 100% certain, but I suspect you haven't tried it yet. Or you might like your languages to incorporate humour?
There are already multiline lambda functions available by using the walrus operator:

foo = lambda x: ( z:=x+1, zz:=z*2, zz+7 )[-1]

it defines a tuple and returns the last element. List comprehensions, walrus operator and lambda make a functional language out of python.

Right - but "God creates all possible Creations" is true for Spinoza but only in the sense that for Spinoza there is only one possible creation, the one that we are living in now, so God creates the only possible creation. As in, there are no possible potential realities for Spinoza---the only possible world is the one that we're living in. And so for Spinoza, God's omnipotence is expressed through his actualization of creation---that is, roughly speaking, it's not just that God could do anything that is possible, it's that God is willing everything that is possible right now, because the only possible way for things to be is the way things are (this is what wokeupabug means when he talks about Spinoza's conflation of God's power and will). This is, to be sure, something that classical theists would quarrel with.

---------

For your edit:

I don't know about "God & Creation = empty set", it depends on what exactly you mean by that. Classical theists say that all things don't exist independently, but exist in/through/from God (the prepositions vary). What exactly does that mean? Well, a lot of ink has been spilled fleshing out what the relationship between God and creation is, and people have had various ideas on what it is. It seems to me to be an oversimplification to categorize things neatly into theism/pantheism/panentheism without further clarification; these things are complicated. It's been said of Aquinas (certainly a little-o orthodox theologian), apparently, that he's the closest you can be to being a pantheist without being a pantheist.
The right to stay alive, eat, sleep, etc. without coercively "agreeing" to let a parasite steal the profits of my labor. That would probably do it for most people.

Or how about a law that says if you've rented more than twice the value of your home, it becomes your property. We could slowly get rid of the robber barons. Being secure in the knowledge that you won't be kicked out of your home just so someone else can make a few dollars would make most people very happy indeed, I know it would take a load off my shoulders.
Jewish immigration to Israel is not similar at all to Nakba. It was voluntary, and that's extremely different from having your homeland invaded and ethnically cleansed.

Anonymous functions and object destructuring were strong influences in me moving much more towards typescript than python after many many years of python being my primary language.

Anonymous functions completely change the experience and style of programming and python is diminished for not having them.

Pythonistas I have found dismiss the importance of anonymous functions and object destructuring. I assume this is because they don’t have the experience of these things therefore do not know their value. Pythonistas point to this or that python feature saying “see, python can do javascript style destructuring” or they point to lambda functions. Again this can only mean they don’t have experience if the real thing.

There also seems to be a bit of “not invented here syndrome”, after all how could javascript (yuck!) do anything better than python?

Javascript anonymous functions and object destructuring are two of the most useful tools there are in programming and python misses out.
The new `using` feature handles RAII just fine. This proposal is entirely unnecessary given the existence of `using` and the already-existing event listeners. https://iliazeus.github.io/articles/js-explicit-resource-man...

Not a throwaway. I did initially plan to name companies but I fear I would be banned if I did so. However, if others are noticing bad agents too, I would assume this is a problem that the HN mods would like to see addressed, making them more open to solutions that dont get me banned
If the economy is a slime mold running breadth first search of the solution space, let's consider the outcome that it spreads, and finds nothing that can sustain further growth. Then the whole mold shrivels and dies.

We honestly need to teach this slime mold how to do A-star search. If we don't, we could all die because we wasted too much money on investments that never had any potential to sustain the human race.
Talented artists see their creative output drown under a torrent of commercial and mass-produced art. There are dominoes to fell but we should not be reckless about it.

With postmodernism art deconstructed its duty and without duty society does not grant rights. It is a big problem because art is often visionary about the future. We don’t know that we even have a future without vision.

Idk, how would you work to alter the play field if you ran a union? I think I'd try to make it harder to compete with union members, and to improve the transparency and standardization of the industry's hiring practices. I'd even say that at least some industries ought to have entirely public-certified hiring norms for certain roles. Maybe that means setting up a standards board or union-linked oversight commission for it.

> I’ll be a little bit mad if this Preact/Angular inspired thing

Signals predate both and originate in KnockoutJS at least. They were popularized in recent years by SolidJS. And then adopted into Preact, Vue and others. Angular is a very late newcomer to the signals game.

Edit: and this is literally in the introduction section:

--- start quote ---

This first-class reactive value approach seems to have made its first popular appearance in open-source JavaScript web frameworks with Knockout in 2010. In the years since, many variations and implementations have been created. Within the last 3-4 years, the Signal primitive and related approaches have gained further traction, with nearly every modern JavaScript library or framework having something similar, under one name or another.

--- end quote ---

The list of libraries in the README is alphabetized, and doesn't reflect the evolution of signals in the frameworks and libraries.

I hardly ever respond to those, but I did get a bad actor the time I commented on its companion monthly post, for people who were looking for work.

Some startup was scraping the HN post and putting up profiles for all the people on their own site, with the appearance that the people had put the profiles on the site themselves. I guess probably to bootstrap a user base.

(I like to imagine that they had investors who lost all their money on this team, as negative feedback for funding people with no intuition for ethical behavior. Our field certainly could use more such negative feedback.)

As written, your comment isn't demonstrating multiline lambdas. You need to prefix each of the code lines with two spaces so you get a code block. Otherwise it's treating it as a single paragraph and concatenating it all together.

What you currently have:

foo = lambda x: ( z:=x+1, zz:=z*2, zz+7 )[-1]

What you seem to want:

foo = lambda x: (
z:=x+1,
zz:=z*2,
zz+7
)[-1]

He had an outsized impact on me as well. My very first programming experiments (learning on the Macintosh) were predator-prey simulations (fish vs. sharks — he called it "Wa-Tor" since his ocean grid wrapped around with a toroidal topology.)

Boeing is about half the signal, so no, absolutely because of Boeing. That the 737 MAX is extremely dangerous for a modern jetliner doesn't refute the clear truth that the 737 MAX is very safe in a historical context. It's a huge outlier precisely because the industry has done so well at this.
I don't see how email-based 2FA is more secure than SMS.

With email, if an attacker gains access to my email account she can remotely de-auth my mobile device's email client, reset my password for service X, and sign in to service X without my knowledge (assuming I don't notice my email client has stopped working).

With SMS, if they gain access to my email account, I at least get the notice of the attempted login via SMS and can take appropriate action.

The score is floor(100*(1-distance/max_distance)) where max_distance is the greatest distance to the target from any point in the cube. This means that the spheres used in triangulation look funny. Rounding also gets in the way, but you can do it in 5 guesses starting with #B74, #448, #B8B and #4B7 (the first 3 are enough in to uniquely identify it in 3911 out of 4096 cases, and the first 2 are enough in 735; giving an average of less than 4 tries).
My feeling is that it's philosophically outside the purview of React whose focus is rendering (and components and their state but not global state), RxJS and and MobX are both usable with React and have signals whilst Redux goes another route and React is "above" that choice.
