In Peter Thiels 2013 book he describes successful founders and extreme personalities as having similar characteristics. It’s hard not to make similar observations about Musk (super genius, who is an idiot).

The social dynamics are too powerful to perceive anything real about them.
You're right. It's just that I heard this often. Let's remove this sentence.

Ask HN: Who's getting their job applications rejected?
I'm in the US. I tell you what, it's been a tough season for me. I've applied to a dozen positions (senior, full-stack or backend) at mid-to-large companies. Not start-ups. I've interviewed and solved the problems yet I keep getting rejected.

Is anyone else having a similar experience or is it just me?

The company does buy backs and dividends with the excess cash that it has, after paying taxes on all of the income, property taxes on their facilities, sales taxes on equipment, employment taxes for all of their staff and then the income taxes related to all of their staff.

We have a spending problem in this country, not a lack of tax money.

That's not pumping stock, though, right? Pumping stock is artificially increasing the number of buyers, for a short period. You're describing reducing the number of sellers. Which may increase the price, or may not.

I think that’s what the US government does for commercially vital resources. It might also as a side effect, force the production on the US soil as well.

Capturing TSMC intact by force is .. unlikely. Assuming it survives the fighting, there's definitely both Taiwanese and US factions advocating for blowing it up. https://press.armywarcollege.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article... ; all it would take is one patriotic officer in the retreat to decide to deny it to the enemy by chucking a grenade in the clean room, and the equipment is toast. Russia burnt down Moscow to deny it to Napoleon, and Hitler ordered that the same be done to Paris (but in that case the officers decided not to obey).

A more likely scenario is simply that threats and internal political pressure cause Taiwan to ""voluntarily"" unify with the mainland.

$8bn buys you about one (1) fab, but you also need the staff and institutional knowledge to run it, so realistically it has to go to some company that is already operating a similar fab.

At moments like this it is important to remember that models are notoriously wrong. The take away for me is that we're getting to the threshold where solar is genuinely an economic option and if the price of solar energy keeps coming down it'll probably be the energy source of choice in Australia.

The article talking about 'replacing' is a bit weird, that doesn't make any intuitive sense. We'd keep the existing generation infrastructure then start augmenting it with cheap renewables.

Why would that be the case. If anything, the last 20 years have reinforced the idea that if enemy combatants simply embed themselves in civilian populations, they are virtually impossible to target without mass collateral damage.
FWIW, often a trial is halted before being completed if statistical analysis of the preliminary results definitively indicate a positive outcome, or unexpected negative/life-threatening side effects emerge at an unacceptably high incidence.

If the trial is halted prematurely because the drug is deemed effective, immediately all individuals who received placebo are given the real thing. If the trial is completed and it shows the drug is effective, all those who received placebo are given the real thing.

Know also that all participants are paid for participating.
It's dumb on two levels. Firstly, for a planet to evolve sapient life it must be inhabitable for, at minimum, millions of years if not billions, therefore if this orbital instability was going to wipe out the trisolarans it would've done it already. Secondly, the trisolarans are hyper-advanced. They turn individual protons into sapient robots and play with antimatter, therefore they can make a damn air conditioner. Manufacturing habitats to isolate them from the effects of their orbit would be easier than almost every single other thing they do in the entire series, including transporting their whole species across interstellar distances. Some of the things they do would be harder than keeping their planet in a stable orbit by force.
No, I agree with you, maybe I was wrong in assuming parent meant it in a more generalistic way.

But then again, the points you bring up, I'd argue it's quite difficult to figure all that out before having a kid. Everything I said I meant as having in common some general guidelines and a direction, not every specific detail.

Having a shared, defined direction will also help you in settling all the "smaller" disagreements, but I guess my reaction comes from seeing many couples that don't have that general direction figured out yet, i.e. getting married and suddenly husband finds out wife is not that keen about having kids.
The positive ROI may accrue primarily to the top executives who are in a position to directly make that decision. Especially in a field like semiconductor processing where risks are high on new investment, it is almost always a lower risk decision to buyback the stock. I don't know the specifics of Otellini's pay package, but I would assume that his tenure resulted in massive wealth for himself, so this is certainly rational economic behavior but severely damaged the company.

Doesn’t seem like a big deal - unshare it and copy to another platform, e.g. directly on discord, for sharing.

Google really needs to stop preemptively locking accounts, though. They also need to warn ahead of time when someone is going to do something “bad”.
This is terrifying. I'm a writer, and all my work is backed up on Google. Some of it likely only exists there. I'm literally shaking my head here in incredulity. How could anyone at Google have thought that this was a good idea?
> Nothing; as far as I understand scraping public web is legal or that's what courts are saying lately. Btw, it's mind boggling to be me that after 30 years of commercial Internet and Web, we still don't have a definite answer is scraping of public websites and public web content legal or illegal.

I was more thinking from a public perception side instead of legal, but legal would be a good question too.

Any time you feel tempted to treat collapse as an objective state of a single particle, remember that the collapse interpretation is mathematically indistinguishable from the multiverse interpretation. There's no test for whether collapse has happened other than measuring at both ends and comparing notes… and noticing that nature appears to be cheating somehow.

How did people in Australia get by before air conditioning?

I'm not saying that to be snarky, I would generally love to know. I live in a moderately cold climate (England) and I often wonder how people here survived through the winter before the comforts of modern technology. And England's not that cold - how the hell did indigenous Canadians do it, for example? Did people just shiver by a fire for months at a time?

EDIT: I didn't think I was being snarky in my original final sentence, but to avoid misunderstandings I've removed it.
There is deep class segregation in cities. Problems occur when the “wrong people” are in your kids schools and HOA.

Also US urban cities represent one experience. It hasn’t worked that way in places like South Africa.
At the quantum scale, you can't observe without interaction. And the interaction is always destructive (of information, not of the particle).

even if you could relay that one binary piece of information, that's one bit of an integer or string that could contain arbitrary information.

The only thing that is known is that the other entangled particle has opposite spin than what you register.
Yes they have, it's just that in quantum mechanics you can expand the state in different bases. The state still "exists" before it is measured, just in a non-separable superposition state (i.e. an entangled state)

From gpt4:

The Two Systems: Kahneman introduces the concept of two distinct systems that govern our thoughts. System 1 operates automatically and quickly, with little or no effort and no sense of voluntary control. System 2 allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it, including complex computations. The operations of System 2 are often associated with the subjective experience of agency, choice, and concentration.

Heuristics and Biases: The book explains how the fast, intuitive thinking of System 1 leads to the use of heuristics—a kind of mental shortcut that facilitates quick judgments but can also lead to systematic biases and errors in thinking. Kahneman discusses several of these biases, such as the availability heuristic, where people judge the probability of events by how easily examples come to mind, and the anchoring effect, where people rely too heavily on the first piece of information they encounter.

Overconfidence: One of the themes of the book is the confidence people place in their own beliefs and judgments. Kahneman shows that people tend to overestimate their knowledge and their ability to predict outcomes, leading to a greater confidence in their judgments than is warranted. This overconfidence can contribute to risky decision-making and failure to consider alternative viewpoints.

Prospect Theory: Kahneman, along with Amos Tversky, developed Prospect Theory, which challenges the classical economic theory that humans are rational actors who always make decisions in their best interest. Prospect Theory suggests that people value gains and losses differently, leading to decisions that can seem illogical or irrational. It highlights the asymmetry between the perception of gains and losses, where losses are felt more acutely than gains are enjoyed.

Happiness and Well-being: The book also delves into the determinants of happiness and well-being, distinguishing between the experiencing self (which lives in the present) and the remembering self (which keeps score and makes decisions). Kahneman explores how our happiness is influenced more by how life events are remembered than by the actual experience. This leads to some counterintuitive findings, such as people being happier with experiences that end on a high note, regardless of the overall quality or duration of the experience.
Equity is specifically NOT a debt, but you're right that it's just the mirror image of stock issuance. See my other comment about it being a means of returning money to investors like dividends.
"Cloud backups used to be a smart thing to do. Now they are a liability."

If they're actually a backup they can be a good idea. If it's a single source, then yeah, it's asking for trouble. I even backup my GitHub stuff locally because who knows what could happen.
I was an employee, then did my own thing for 6 years, then recently went and got a job again.

I felt no push-back at all for doing my own thing; in fact, I think it was a positive for most people.

If it was only 6 months instead of 6 years then maybe that would have made a difference (?), but generally I've found that people saw it as a positive sign that I was able to be self directed, work in ambiguous circumstances, etc.

Also as pointed out elsewhere here, the ease of getting a job is often a lot more about your network and who you know rather than your exact experience.

Good luck!
Many years ago, I used to work for a company specialising in IoT devices. One of their projects was about teledildonics and required the purchase of some ... testing gear. At the time they had their book keeping on Google Drive and when the invoice for said purchases had passed through their emails, their entire workspace was suspended for a couple of days until they could clear it up.

Fresh out of a 7 year stint in a 'proper job' - a friend and I set up a media company. We pivoted continually and eventually found some mild success with interactive video, but in the end my heart wasn't in it.

I found it really easy to move on to a product job after hat experience, and I have referred back to that 2 year period in nearly every interview I've had since, with good feedback.

Go for it - you'll have heaps to talk about, show and share.
You haven't even started and you're already planning for failure? You should have more faith in yourself.
The instruction set has nothing to do with semiconductor fabrication...

The reason Intel is the only one is because cutting-edge chip making is arguably the most capital intensive and challenging industry in the world. There are literally only three companies on Earth who do it.

As an extreme example, look what happened with Gamestop. As people piled on to purchase more and more out of the money calls, it forced an infinite gamma squeeze where market markers selling the call options were forced to purchase the stock underlyer to hedge, driving up the price.

The effect isnt always that obvious, but it is there. It is also unfair to the person selling the option, if they are doing it with normal knowledge (not insider knowledge)

You would think Israel would be smart enough to not play directly into their hands like this then...
Oh I didn't meant to imply that I personally see the nukes as having been reasonable or worth it.

Frankly, I don't know how one could ever make the decision that killing 100,000 is "worth it" and I hope I never have to.

Personally I think we should never have tried to invent the nuclear bomb to begin with, avoiding the decision entirely. I understand the whole "but then the enemy would have it first" argument, I just don't buy it. Sure, maybe the "enemy" would go on to invent it but that's a burden they'll have to bear.

Sometimes standing on principle includes dying on principle, we seem to have lost the importance of all that along the way. I chalk that up to the increase rate of invention making it too scary to take a step back, even for a moment, to decide whether we should do something that we know we can do.
>it is almost always a lower risk decision to buyback the stock.

This is all about buyback versus dividend. How it is that people are thinking wrong counterfactual?
They can still be smart for off-site backups in case of local catastrophic issues (like your house burning down). But they are just part of the solution and shouldn't be a single point of failure.
This is both true and false. While I work with Intel/Altera, Xilinx is basically the same.

That devboard is using recycled chips 100 percent. Their cost is almost nothing.

The kintex-7 part in question can probably be bought in volume quantities for around $190. Think 100kEAU.

This kind of price break comes with volume and is common with many other kinds of silicon besides FPGAs. Some product lines have more pricing pressure than others. For example, very popular MCUs may not get as wide of a price break. Some manufacturers price more fairly to distributors, some allow very large discounts.
> but the amount of effort seems great

You "just" have to consider moves through the managing pyramid and promotions to be independent concepts.

I mean, this is basic stuff that you can read on any management book. (Y careers, and the like.) And if you try it on the real world, every single person will think you are crazy and fight you (except for the competent ICs inside the organization).

>While I understand their concerns, it seems a bit crazy to think you have any right to tell people what to do or not do on the moon.

Have you stopped to think what happens to the earth if the moon were just outright gone? Because that's ultimately what the debate is about. If anything valuable is found there, you can be assured someone will strip mine it until every last piece of value is removed, and the non-valuable thing is left to float off into the universe, not their problem.

I think it's EVERYONE'S right to tell anyone trying to profit off of what is at the moon what they can and can't do.
The other day, I saw a movie scene on YouTube where a guy is knife-fighting with another guy. There is a stab in the throat at the end, where all the life drains from his face. Blood is gushing and we see a human being kill another human being.

I really don't understand why Google (and Western society) condones this sort of content while having a near zero-tolerance policy towards sex and love.

But I figured it out today: violent media re-directs our rage against the unsustainable culture and gives it an outlet. I'm not bashing on violent entertainment BTW: I like martial arts movies. But it does have a deeper function: to give us a sense of justice (good versus bad), and distract us away from the atrocities of consumerism (destruction of the planet which gave us life).

In short, violent media HELPS global capitalism and its destructiveness.

Then why is sex banned? Yes, we can look for the superficial reasons, like "oooh, parents don't want their kids to view this stuff". But that does not even apply here, especially because this was in a private Google docs. No, sex is treated harshly because it is primal and goes against civilization: it represents a more primal human connection, and human connection is antithetical to consumerism and the destruction of the environment.

Yes, we can also look for historical religious reasons, but there is a reason why such religious motivation survived, and other religious practices do NOT: any social practice which survives does so because it confers benefits to those who promote the practice. In this case, it confers benefits to the capitalists.

I don't dispute this, but it's indistinguishable from the 'no spooky action' hypothesis.

I can invent a story that the coin in my pocket has two sides, each of which is in a superposition of heads and tails.

If you disprove that by repeatedly looking at both sides and noting that they always end up different, then I can invent the story that the observed side tells the unobserved side what to become.

If you disprove that by separating the sides by a great distance before observing them both, I can invent the story that they coordinate instantaneously, ignoring the speed of light.
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/tsmc-s-second-fab-in-arizona-del...

TSMC is looking to bail completely on the second fab / even intel is now looking at delaying. The problem we are running into is a lot of DEI language was included in the chips act which is making it hard for TSMC (and Intel) to comply. This is not a good PR move to say this outright so they will just give more generic "labor" shortages etc as the official reason.
>I think him being original, not "focusing on the core product", and a strong character had something to do with it, so of course it happens.

You absolutely have people who are very competent but just not interested in what management (rightly or wrongly) thinks should be the current priorities. Sometimes things advance to the point where there's no longer a good fit. Not necessarily anyone's fault but it may be time to part ways.
